Contractor if Contractor causes, suffers or is the target of any worker labor disruption, labor unrest, strike or other such activity or event, in, on or about the Facility. 

2.3 Operator shall have the right (i) to cause Contractor to suspend the Services, in whole or in part, in the event, and as often as
such event may occur, Operator is compelled to do so because of fires, floods, or other acts of God, labor disputes, rail car shortages, barge shortages or any other condition beyond Operator’s reasonable control, and (ii) to cause
Contractor to suspend the Services, in whole or in part, in the event, and as often as such event may occur, Operator is unable to sell or use Operator’s coal at a reasonable profit in Operator’s sole judgment. 

2.4 Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, Contractor shall leave the Premises and the Facility and all its parts and components
in such condition that operation of the Facility by another may begin immediately and shall do all things required by Operator to permit immediate operations by another, including, but not limited to, the transfer or assignment of all applicable

name, or in the Operators name or otherwise, for its use and benefit, to (a) assign, transfer, surrender, cancel, or terminate and take any other action with respect to or otherwise deal with the Federal and State permits and licenses issued to
or held by the Contractor, as fully and completely as if the Operator were the permittee or licensee thereunder, and (b) to make, execute, acknowledge, and file any document or instrument which may be required in or to effectuate such
assignment, transfer, cancellation, termination or other action with respect to such permit or license. The power of attorney granted in this provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and shall survive the liquidation, dissolution,
death, or incapacity of the Contractor. The powers conferred on the Operator by this provision are solely to protect its interests and shall not impose any duties upon the Operator to exercise any such powers. Contractor agrees to execute and
deliver to the Operator an instrument in recordable form, as provided for in applicable law, to effectuate the purposes of this provision. 

2.5 NOTWITHSTANING ANYTHING CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, OPERATOR MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS, COVENANTS, OR WARRANTIES,
EXPRESSED, IMPLIED OR OTHERWISE, TO THE CONTRACTOR REGARDING THE QUANTITY OR QUALITY OF COAL TO BE PROCESSED AND/OR HANDLED AND/OR REFUSE TO BE GENERATED, HANDLED, TREATED AND STORED AT THE FACILITY OR THE DURATION OR CONTINUANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 3.0 Consideration. As full consideration for the Services of Contractor, Operator shall pay Contractor
the payments as set forth on Exhibit B, which Exhibit is incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement. The scheduling of all payments due Contractor under this Agreement are set forth on Exhibit B. 

  
 4 








 4.0 Payments; Weight Upon Which Payments are Calculated. 

4.1 Operator shall at all times have the right to deduct and set off from any payments or other sums due to Contractor by Operator from time
to time hereunder any amounts owed to Operator by Contractor for any reason, as well as (i) any amounts paid by Operator on behalf of Contractor to third parties, or (ii) any amounts which Operator reasonably determines, in its sole
discretion, it may, in the future, be required to pay to third parties or incur itself on behalf of Contractor due to Contractor’s failure to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

4.2 Payments made by Operator to Contractor, as described in Exhibit B, shall be deemed to include adequate compensation for any
improvements, repairs, replacements and/or rehabilitations performed by Contractor in and around the Facility during the term of this Agreement (collectively “Enhancements”), and Contractor shall have no right in or to the Enhancements
upon termination of this Agreement, and all Enhancements shall become the property of the Operator immediately upon termination of this Agreement. 

4.3 Contractor shall not be entitled to any payments under this Agreement after the termination of this Agreement except for payments then due
and owing by Operator for Services performed by Contractor up to such termination; provided, however, that if Contractor remains obligated to perform any Services after such termination (for matters such as performing reclamation, providing
insurance coverage, etc.), Contractor shall be required to perform such Services for the consideration paid, or due and owing, during the term of the Agreement. 

4.4 In the event (and as often as such event may occur) that any third party perfects or threatens to perfect a legal right to encumber or to
place a lien upon the coal processed through or stored at the Facility, in whole or in part, the Refuse, the Refuse Area(s) and/or the Premises, in whole or in part, as a result of Contractor’s failure, in whole or in part, to pay such party
any amount to which such party is entitled, or as Contractor may be otherwise legally obligated, Operator, at its sole option and in addition to its other rights and remedies hereunder, does and shall have the right to pay, in whole or in part,
and/or settle with such party directly in order to remove such encumbrance or lien, or to prevent its placement; provided, however, that all such direct payments or settlements by Operator shall be forthwith reimbursed to Operator by Contractor,
Operator reserving the right, at its sole option, to deduct and setoff such direct payment sums and settlements, as and when the same are paid or made, from monies owed to Contractor pursuant to this Agreement and/or other agreements between the
parties hereto, as provided in this Paragraph 4. This Paragraph and/or the payment of such direct payment sums, in whole or in part, or such settlement by Operator is not and shall not be construed as a waiver, alteration or modification of any of
the Contractor’s obligations assumed by it hereunder, nor as a covenant by Operator to perform the same. 
 4.5 Contractor shall be
paid by Operator for the Services in accordance with attached Exhibit B, based on the number of tons of processed coal processed and loaded through the Facility on which Operator is paid by the purchasers of such coal. The compensation
to Contractor hereunder, while based on the tons of such coal processed and loaded through the Facility which are sold by Operator to purchasers, is intended to cover and fully compensate Contractor for all the Services, and Contractor expressly
represents that it understands and is fully satisfied with such compensation and its computation.
