                  (a) To the extent provided in this Section 9.01(a), the
representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of each party shall
survive the Closing, any subsequent sale or other disposition of any or all of
the Preferred Shares or the Common Shares and any subsequent Acquisition
Transaction effected by or otherwise involving the Purchaser, KFx or the
Company, but only for the purpose of being true and correct in all material
respects as of the Closing (other than those covenants which by their specific
terms require performance after the Closing). Any representation the Breach of
which the Company or KFx had Knowledge on or prior to the Closing and any
covenants or obligations to be performed after the Closing shall survive and
continue for the applicable statute of limitation period or periods legally
applicable to them. All of the other representations, warranties (as well as the
covenants and obligations to be performed prior to the Closing Date) of the
parties shall terminate, and be deemed to have been satisfied and discharged in
full, on the second anniversary of the Closing Date.

                  (b) The representations, warranties, covenants and obligations
of the respective parties, and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by
any of them, shall not be limited or otherwise affected by or as a result of (i)
anything contained in the Certificate of Designation or (ii) any information
furnished to, or any investigation made by or Knowledge of, any of the parties
or any of their Representatives.

                  (c) For purposes of this Agreement, each statement or other
item of information set forth in the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be a
representation and warranty made by the Company and KFx in this Agreement.

         9.02 Indemnification by the Company and KFx.

                  (a) The Company and KFx shall, jointly and severally (except
for Damages attributable to the matter addressed in clause (v) of this Section
9.02(a) and, to the extent attributable thereto, any Damages under clause (vi),
which Damages shall solely be the liability of KFx), indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the Purchaser and each of its officers, directors, employees, agents
and Representatives (collectively, the "INDEMNITEES" and individually each an
"INDEMNITEE") from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each of the
Indemnitees for, any Damages which are suffered or incurred by any of the
Indemnitees or to which any of the Indemnitees may otherwise become subject at
any time (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any third party
claim) and which arise from or as a direct or indirect result of, or are
directly or indirectly connected with:

<PAGE>   49

                           (i) any Breach of any representation or warranty made
         by the Company or KFx in this Agreement;

                           (ii) any Breach of any covenant or obligation of the
         Company or KFx;

                           (iii)                          *             any
         Liabilities relating to the Company's failure to be qualified to do
         business in Ohio;

                           (iv) any Liability to which the Company may become
         subject that directly or indirectly arises from the acts or omissions
         of KFx;

                           (v)                            *                 ; or

                           (vi) any Proceeding relating to any Breach, or
         Liability or matter of the type referred to in any of the clauses
         listed above (including any Proceeding commenced by any Indemnitee for
         the purpose of enforcing any of its rights under this Article 9).

                  (b) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article 9, in
no event shall the Company be required to indemnify the Purchaser for Damages
until the aggregate amount of such Damages sustained by the Purchaser exceeds
$50,000, and then only to the extent of such excess; provided, however, that the
provisions of this Section 9.02(b) shall not apply to any Damages arising from
or attributable to the litigation referred to in clause (v) of Section 9.02(a)

                  (c) In no event shall the Company or KFx be subject to any
Liability to the Purchaser under this Article 9 in an aggregate amount exceeding
the purchase price paid by the Purchaser for the Common Shares and the Preferred
Shares actually purchased by the Purchaser.

                  (d) In connection with         *       , the Company and KFx
acknowledge and agree that Purchaser shall be entitled to indemnification
hereunder in connection with any Special Damages resulting from         *
       . As used herein, "Special Damages" shall include consequential damages,
decline in value of the Company and lost opportunity to the Company resulting
from or arising in connection with        *         and the resolution thereof
such that the value of the Purchaser's investment in the Company is demonstrably
diminished from what the value of the Company would have been without the
Special Damages to the Company.

         9.03 No Contribution. KFx waives, and acknowledges and agrees that it
shall not have and shall not exercise or assert or attempt to exercise or
assert, any right of contribution or right of indemnity or any other right or
remedy against the Company in connection with any indemnification obligation
under this Agreement.

* Language omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange
  Commission pursuant to a confidential treatment request.

10.      MISCELLANEOUS

         10.01 Governing Law.

                  (a) This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the
laws of the State of Colorado as such laws are applied to agreements between
Colorado residents entered into and performed entirely in Colorado, except that,
in the case of KFx, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and, in
the case of the Company, the Business Corporation Act of the State of South
Dakota shall govern as to matters of corporate law.

                  (b) Any legal action or other legal proceeding relating to
this Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement may be
brought or otherwise commenced in any state or federal court located in the City
and County of Denver, Colorado. Each party to this Agreement:

                           (i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to
         the jurisdiction of each state and federal court located in the County
         of Denver, Colorado (and each appellate court located in the State of
         Colorado) in connection with any such legal proceeding, including to
         enforce any settlement, order or award;

                           (ii) agrees that each state and federal court located
         in the City and County of Denver, Colorado shall be deemed to be a
         convenient forum; and

                           (iii) waives and agrees not to assert (by way of
         motion, as a defense or otherwise), in any such legal proceeding
         commenced in any state or federal court located in the City and County
         of Denver, Colorado, any claim that such party is not subject
         personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that such legal
         proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of
         such proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject
         matter of this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such court.

                  (c) Each party hereto agrees to the entry of an order to
enforce any resolution, settlement, order or award made pursuant to this Section
by the state and federal courts located in the County of Denver, Colorado and in
connection therewith hereby waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion,
as a defense, or otherwise, any claim that such resolution, settlement, order or
award is inconsistent with or violative of the laws or public policy of the laws
of the State of Colorado or any other jurisdiction.

                  (d) Each party to this Agreement hereby knowingly,
voluntarily, and intentionally waives the right to a trial by jury in respect of
any litigation arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement, this
waiver being a material inducement for each such party to enter into this
Agreement.

         10.02 Survival. Subject to Section 9.01, the representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements made herein shall survive any investigation
made by the



                                       46
<PAGE>   51

Purchaser and the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby. All
statements as to factual matters contained in any certificate or other
instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant hereto in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be
representations and warranties by the Company and KFx hereunder solely as of the
date of such certificate or instrument.

         10.03 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding
upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the
parties hereto and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each
Person who shall be a holder of the Preferred Shares or the Common Shares from
time to time.

         10.04 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Exhibits, the Schedules and
the other documents expressly delivered pursuant hereto, including the
Stockholders Agreement, supersede any other agreement, whether written or oral,
that may have been made or entered into by the parties hereto relating to the
matters contemplated hereby and constitute the full and entire understanding and
agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof, and no party
shall be liable or bound to any other in any manner by any representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements except as specifically set forth herein and
therein.

         10.05 Specific Enforcement. The Purchaser shall be entitled to specific
enforcement of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and KFx acknowledge
that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for its Breach of this
Agreement and Consent to an action for specific performance or other injunctive
relief in the event of any such Breach.

         10.06 Severability. In case any provision of this Agreement shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

         10.07 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only upon
the mutual written Consent of the Company, KFx and the Purchaser.

         10.08 Waiver. A provision of this Agreement may be waived only by a
written instrument executed by or on behalf of the party waiving compliance. The
failure of any party at any time or times to require performance of any
provision hereof shall in no manner affect the right at a later time to enforce
the same. No waiver by any party of any condition, or of any breach of any term,
covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, in any one or
more instances, shall be construed to be a waiver of any other condition or of
any other breach of the same or any other term, covenant, representation or
warranty.
