 (Based on Cumulative Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) 
 THIS AGREEMENT dated as of November 10, 2008, between MASSEY ENERGY COMPANY, a Delaware Corporation (the “Company”) and
[                    ] (“Participant”) is made pursuant and subject to the provisions of the Massey Energy Company 2006 Stock and
Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), a copy of which is attached. All terms used herein that are defined in the Plan have the same meaning given them in the Plan. 
 1. Incentive Award. Pursuant to the Plan, the Company, on November 10, 2008 (the “Grant Date”), awarded to Participant,
subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and subject further to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the opportunity to earn a cash payment based on the satisfaction of the performance criteria set forth in Paragraph 3 below (the
“Incentive Award”). 
 2. Definitions.  
 (a) Earnout Period means the three year period from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2011 (“Earnout Period”).

 (b) Performance Period EBITDA means the Company’s cumulative earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization, for the three fiscal years of the Company ending December 31, 2009, December 31, 2010, and December 31, 2011 (the “Performance Period EBITDA”), all as confirmed by the Company’s Chief Financial
Officer and the Chairman of the Compensation Committee (“Committee”); provided, however, that extraordinary, unusual or infrequently occurring events and transactions, may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be excluded pursuant to
the Plan in such determination. 
 3. Amount of Award. Subject to Paragraph 5 and except as provided in Paragraphs 4
and 6 below, Participant’s Incentive Award will be calculated under the amount and formula shown in column (b) below, based on satisfaction of the criteria set forth in column (a) below: 
  

									
	 	  	(a)
Performance Period EBITDA
	 	 	(b)
Participant’s Incentive Award	 
	 High Target
	  	$	[                    	]	 	$	[                    	]
	 Middle Target
	  	$	[                    	]	 	$	[                    	]
	 Low Target
	  	$	[                    	]	 	$	[                    	]

 If the Performance Period EBITDA falls between any target amounts, the amount of
Participant’s Incentive Award is calculated proportionately between the two nearest target levels. No Incentive Award will be paid if the Performance Period EBITDA is less than the low target of
$[                    ] million and no increase to the Incentive Award will be made for cumulative earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization above the high target of $[                    ] million. 







 Participant’s Incentive Award for the Earnout Period, to the extent earned, will be paid in cash no
later than the March 15 immediately following the calendar year in which the Earnout Period ends. 
 4. Death or Disability.
If Participant dies or becomes permanently and totally disabled within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (“Permanently and Totally Disabled”) while in the
employ or service of the Company or a Subsidiary within the Earnout Period, Participant or Participant’s estate will be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of Participant’s Incentive Award as calculated pursuant to Section 3, based
on the portion of the Earnout Period elapsed prior to Participant’s death or becoming Permanently and Totally Disabled. 
 5.
Forfeiture. Participant’s right to receive an Incentive Award is forfeited if Participant’s employment or service with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates during the Earnout Period for any reason other than on account
of Participant’s death or becoming Permanently and Totally Disabled or as set forth in Paragraph 6 below. 
 6. Change in
Control. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Participant’s right to receive the Incentive Award shall be vested if Participant’s employment is terminated during the Earnout Period by the Company or an Affiliate
without Cause within two years following a Change in Control that occurs on or after the date of this Agreement through the Earnout Period. For purposes of this Agreement, Cause shall occur upon: 
 (i) the willful and continued failure by Participant substantially to perform Participant’s duties with the Company or an Affiliate (other than
any such failure resulting from Participant’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Participant by the Company or an Affiliate which specifically identifies the manner in
which the Company or Affiliate believes that Participant has not substantially performed Participant’s duties, 
 (ii) Participant’s willful breach of fiduciary duty, willful violation of any law, rule, or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses), willful violation of a final cease and desist order or willfully engaging
in any other gross misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company or any Affiliate, or 
 (iii) Participant’s conviction of, or pleading guilty or nolo condentere to, the commission of a felony involving fraud, embezzlement, theft or moral turpitude.
 For purposes hereof, no act, or failure to act, on Participant’s part described in clause (i) or (ii) above shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by Participant not
in good faith and without reasonable belief that Participant’s action or omission was in the best interest of the Company and its Affiliates. The fact that Participant is or shortly may be “retirement eligible” and thus eligible
for or entitled to post-retirement benefits from any plan, arrangement or program sponsored, participated in or contributed to by the Company or an Affiliate shall not prevent Participant’s termination from being considered for Cause.
