    WHEREAS, the New Subsidiary

    WHEREAS, Sidney Coal Company,
Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer, on June 30, 2009

    WHEREAS, Section 10.04 of the

valid and binding agreement of the Issuer and the Guarantors in accordance with
its terms.

    


    NOW THEREFORE, for good and
valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as
follows:

    


    Section 1.  Confirmation of the
Indenture; Definitions.  Except as supplemented hereby, the
Indenture is hereby confirmed and reaffirmed in all
particulars.  Anything in the Indenture or herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, all recitals, definitions and provisions contained in this
Supplemental Indenture shall take precedence over the recitals, definitions and
provisions of the Indenture to the extent of any conflict between the
two.  Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Indenture
and used herein shall have the meaning given them in the Indenture.

Indenture.  Upon its execution hereof, the New Subsidiary hereby
acknowledges that it shall be a Guarantor for all purposes set forth in the
Indenture, effective as of the date hereof.

    


    (b)           None
of the shareholders, trustees or officers of the New Subsidiary shall be
personally liable for the New Subsidiary’s obligations as a Guarantor arising
under the Indenture.

    


    Section 3.  Conditions to Effectivess of
Supplemental Indenture and to Operation of Amendments Made
Hereby.  This Supplemental Indenture shall become effective

    Section 5.  Severability.  In
case any provision in this Supplemental Indenture shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall not in any way be effected or impaired thereby.

    


    Section 6.  Governing
Law.  This Supplemental Indenture shall be governed by and
