***Departure of Chief Executive Officer***

As previously disclosed, on February 22, 2026 (February 23, 2026 in Australia), Mr. Douglas G. Thompson informed Coronado Global Resources Inc. (the "Company") that he is resigning as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Managing Director of the Board of Directors (the "Board") to pursue new opportunities. Mr. Thompson's resignation will be effective as of March 31, 2026. In connection with Mr. Thompson's departure, the Board reduced the size of the Board from seven to six.

***Appointment of Interim Chief Executive Officer***

As a result of Mr. Thompson's departure from the Company, on March 26, 2026 (March 27, 2026 in Australia), the Board, at the recommendation of the Compensation and Nominating Committee of the Board, appointed Mr. Garold Spindler, the current Executive Chair of the Board and former Chief Executive Officer of the Company, to serve as the Company's Interim Chief Executive Officer ("Interim CEO"), effective as of April 1, 2026 (the "Effective Date"). Mr. Spindler will continue to serve on the Board as a director.

Mr. Spindler, age 78, has served as Executive Chair of the Board since May 2023, and previously served as Managing Director of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company from August 2018 to May 2023. Prior to that, Mr. Spindler served as the Chief Executive Officer of Coronado Group LLC from its formation in 2011 until October 2018. He also served as the Chief Executive Officer at Coronado Group HoldCo LLC from December 2017 until August 2018. Mr. Spindler has 50 years' experience in the coal industry and has held several key executive positions at some of the world's largest coal companies, including Chief Executive Officer of UK Coal, President and Chief Executive Officer of Amax Coal Company (U.S.), and President and Chief Executive Officer of Pittston Coal Company. Mr. Spindler earned both a B.S. and M.S. in Mining Engineering from West Virginia University, and a Masters of Management from Stanford University.

The terms of Mr. Spindler's appointment shall be governed by an employment agreement, dated as of March 27, 2026, between the Company and Mr. Spindler (the "Agreement"). As of the Effective Date, the Agreement terminates and replaces the prior Employment Agreement, between the Company and Mr. Spindler, dated May 25, 2023. Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Spindler will receive an annual base salary of $1,250,000 (prorated for the portion of 2026 that he serves as Interim CEO). Additionally, Mr. Spindler may be eligible to participate in short-term incentive arrangements and other employee benefit plans offered by the Company from time to time to senior executives, except that Mr. Spindler is not entitled to participate in any long-term incentive plan of the Company.

Mr. Spindler's employment can be terminated by either him or the Company by giving the other party 30 days' written notice. Mr. Spindler is also subject to post-termination restrictions on competing with the Company or any subsidiary and/or soliciting its employees and customers for a period of one year following termination of his employment.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

There are no reportable family relationships or related party transactions (as defined in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K) involving the Company and Mr. Spindler.

In connection with Mr. Spindler's appointment as Interim CEO, on March 26, 2026 (March 27, 2026 in Australia), at the recommendation of the Compensation and Nominating Committee of the Board, the Board appointed Mr. Greg Pritchard, a current member of the Board, to serve as the Chair of the Board, effective as of April 1, 2026.

## Exhibit 10.1

**Exhibit 10.1**

![](tm269975d1_ex10-1img001.jpg)

**<u>EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT</u>**

This Employment Agreement (this "<u>Agreement</u>"), effective as of April 1, 2026 (the "<u>effective date</u>"), is between **CORONADO GLOBAL RESOURCES INC.** (the "<u>Company</u>"), a Delaware corporation, and **Garold R. Spindler** ("<u>Employee</u>"), presently residing in or near Wilton, Connecticut.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Employee has agreed to serve as Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company until such time as a new Chief Executive Officer has begun work with the Company; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "<u>Board</u>") has approved the employment of Employee and the terms and conditions of this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants set forth herein, the Company and Employee agree as follows, intending to be legally bound:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Duties and Responsibilities</u>.

The Board has appointed Employee to hold the position of Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In that role, Employee shall render such services and perform such duties as are commensurate with his position or are assigned to him, from time to time, by the Board. Excluding any periods of vacation and sick leave to which Employee is entitled, Employee agrees to devote reasonable attention and time during normal business hours to the affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries and to use Employee's reasonable best efforts to discharge and perform, faithfully and efficiently, the responsibilities assigned to Employee hereunder. By the execution of this Agreement, each of the Company and Employee (a) waive any notice or other requirements relating to the termination of Employee's employment under the existing Employment Agreement, dated May 25, 2023 (the "<u>Previous Employment Agreement</u>"), between the Company and Employee and (b) agree that the Previous Employment Agreement shall be terminated as of the effective date of this Agreement without any further action of the Company or Employee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Compensation</u>.

Employee's base salary effective as of the effective date set forth above shall be US $1,250,000.00 per year, which shall be reviewed from time to time and may be increased or decreased, upon recommendation of the standing Compensation and Nominating Committee, by the Board as it determines to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and in accordance with Employee's then current responsibilities, paid in accordance with the Company's regular payroll practices and on regularly scheduled payroll dates. In addition, Employee shall be entitled to participate in all short-term incentive, welfare, savings and retirement and other employee benefit plans, practices, policies, and programs applicable generally to other executive officers of the Company and its subsidiaries; *provided* that, for the avoidance of doubt, Employee shall not be entitled to participate in any long-term incentive plan of the Company. The Employee's salary shall be prorated for a partial year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Term; Termination of Employment</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Employee's employment hereunder as the Interim Chief Executive Officer shall commence on the effective date and continue until the earliest of the date on which (i) the Company terminates the Employee in accordance with this Agreement, (ii) the Employee resigns from the Company or (iii) the Employee dies. Either the Company or the Employee may terminate this Agreement for any reason (or no reason) with thirty (30) days' written notice of such termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Compensation Upon Termination of Employment</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If Employee's employment is terminated by the Company or by Employee, the Company shall promptly pay the Employee the following accrued obligations (the "<u>Accrued Obligations</u>") earned by the Employee on a prorated basis through to the effective date of termination as set forth in the notice of termination: (i) Employee's base salary, vacation and other cash entitlements accrued through the date of termination shall be paid to Employee in a lump sum of cash on the first regularly scheduled payroll date that is at least ten (10) days after the date of termination to the extent theretofore unpaid, (ii) the amount of any compensation previously deferred by Employee shall be paid to Employee in accordance with the terms of the applicable deferred compensation plan to the extent theretofore unpaid and (iii) amounts that are vested benefits or that Employee is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of or any other contract or agreement with the Company at or subsequent to the date of termination, payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement, and the Company shall have no other severance obligations with respect to Employee under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Death or Disability</u>. If Employee's employment is terminated by reason of Employee's death or Disability (as defined below), the Company shall pay the Employee (or the Employee's estate or beneficiaries as the case may be) the Accrued Obligations earned up through the date of Death or, in the event of Disability, the date of termination, as set forth below. In the event of termination by Death or Disability, the Company shall have no other severance obligations with respect to Employee under this Agreement. "<u>Disability</u>" shall mean Employee's incapacity due to physical or mental illness that (i) shall have prevented Employee from performing his duties for the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates on a full-time basis for more than 90 days or (ii) (x) the Board determines is likely to prevent Employee from performing such duties for such a 90-day period and (y) 30 days has elapsed since delivery to Employee of the written determination of the Board and Employee has not resumed such performance (in which case the date of termination in the case of a termination for "Disability" pursuant to this subsection (ii) shall be deemed to be the last day of such 30-day period).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Confidential Information, Etc</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Employee recognizes and acknowledges that: (i) in the course of Employee's employment by the Company it will be necessary for Employee to acquire information which could include, in whole or in part, information concerning the Company's or its subsidiaries' or affiliates' (as used in Sections 5, 6 and 7 hereof, collectively, the "<u>Coronado Group</u>") sales, sales volume, sales methods, sales proposals, customers and prospective customers, identity of customers and prospective customers, identity of key purchasing personnel in the employ of customers and prospective customers, amount or kind of customers' purchases from the Company, the Company's sources of supply, computer programs, system documentation, special hardware, product hardware, related software development, manuals, formulae, processes, methods, machines, compositions, ideas, improvements, inventions or other confidential or proprietary information belonging to the Coronado Group or relating to the Coronado Group's affairs (collectively referred to herein as the "<u>Confidential Information</u>"); (ii) the Confidential Information is the property of the Coronado Group; (iii) the use, misappropriation or disclosure of the Confidential Information would constitute a breach of trust and could cause irreparable injury to the Coronado Group; and (iv) it is essential to the protection of the Coronado Group's good will and to the maintenance of the Coronado Group's competitive position that the Confidential Information be kept secret and that Employee not disclose the Confidential Information to others or use the Confidential Information to Employee's own advantage or the advantage of others. For purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information shall not include information that becomes publicly available through some means other than disclosure by Employee in violation of this agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Employee further recognizes and acknowledges that it is essential for the proper protection of the business of the Coronado Group that Employee be restrained (i) from soliciting or inducing any employee of the Coronado Group to leave the employ of the Coronado Group, (ii) from hiring or attempting to hire any employee of the Coronado Group, (iii) from soliciting the trade of or trading with the customers of the Coronado Group for any business purpose, and (iv) from competing against the Coronado Group, in each case as set forth in Section 6 below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Confidentiality, Non-Compete and Related Covenants</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Employee agrees to hold and safeguard the Confidential Information in trust for the Coronado Group and its successors and assigns, and agrees that he shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, disclose or make available to anyone outside the Company Group at any time, either during his employment by the Company or subsequent to the termination of his employment by the Company or Employee for any reason, any of the Confidential Information, whether or not developed by Employee, except as required in the performance of Employee's duties to the Coronado Group. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision shall not prohibit Employee from reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity or from making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. Neither the Company's approval nor notice to the Company shall be required in connection with any such report or disclosure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Upon the termination of Employee's employment by the Company or by Employee for any reason, Employee shall promptly deliver to the Company all originals and copies of correspondence, drawings, blueprints, financial and business records, marketing and publicity materials, manuals, letters, notes, notebooks, laptops, reports, flow-charts, programs, proposals and any documents concerning the Coronado Group's customers or concerning products or processes used by the Coronado Group and, without limiting the foregoing, shall promptly deliver to the Company any and all other documents or materials containing or constituting Confidential Information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 6(f) hereof, Employee agrees that during his employment by the Company he shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit the trade of, or trade with, any customer or prospective customer of the Coronado Group for any business purpose other than for the benefit of the Coronado Group. Upon termination of Employee's employment, Employee further agrees that for a period of one year after such termination of employment hereunder, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit the trade of, or trade with, any customers or suppliers, or prospective customers or suppliers, of the Coronado Group, or solicit or induce, or attempt to solicit or induce, any employee of the Coronado Group to leave the Coronado Group for any reason whatsoever or hire any employee of the Coronado Group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Subject to the provisions of Section 6(f) hereof, during the period of Employee's employment hereunder and upon termination of Employee's employment, Employee agrees that for a period of one year after such termination of employment hereunder, Employee shall not, in any Competitive Territory, engage, directly or indirectly, whether as principal or as agent, officer, director, employee, consultant, shareholder or otherwise, alone or in association with any other person, corporation or other entity, in any Competing Business. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the term "<u>Competing Business</u>" shall mean the production or sales of metallurgical bituminous coal, and (ii) the term "<u>Competitive Territory</u>" shall mean the United States of America, Australia and any other nation in which, to the knowledge of Employee, the Company Group has made or considered making such sales, either itself or through a subsidiary, affiliate or joint venture partner, during the last two years prior to the termination of Employee's employment hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Prior to accepting employment during the non-compete period referred to herein, Employee shall notify the Company in order to determine if the position Employee is seeking violates this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 6(c) or 6(d) to the contrary, the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, may, by written notice delivered to Employee promptly after the termination of Employee's employment, elect to waive and not enforce the non-solicitation and non-compete provisions of Sections 6(c) and 6(d). The Company's decision to waive or not enforce a non-solicitation or non-compete provision in any circumstance under this Agreement does not waive any such provision for any other circumstance, act or action of the Employee which could be considered a violation of either the non-compete or non-solicitation provision.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) <u>Discoveries and Inventions; Work Made for Hire</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) During the period of Employee's employment Employee agrees that upon conception and/or development of any idea, discovery, invention, improvement, software, writing or other material or design that (A) relates to the business of the Company, or (B) relates to the Company's actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (C) results from any work performed by Employee for the Company, Employee does hereby assign to the Company the entire right, title and interest in and to any such idea, discovery, invention, improvement, software, writing or other material or design. During the one-year period following any termination of Employee's employment (as set forth below), Employee agrees that upon conception and/or development of any idea, discovery, invention, improvement, software, writing or other material or design that: (A) relates to the business of the Company, or (B) relates to the Company's actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (C) results from any work performed by Employee for the Company, Employee shall assign, and does hereby assign, to the Company the entire right, title and interest in and to any such idea, discovery, invention, improvement, software, writing or other material or design. Employee has no obligation to assign any idea, discovery, invention, improvement, software, writing or other material or design that Employee conceives and/or develops entirely on Employee's own time without using the Company's equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information unless the idea, discovery, invention, improvement, software, writing or other material or design either: (x) relates to the business of the Company, or (y) relates to the Company's actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (z) results from any work performed by Employee for the Company. Employee agrees that any idea, discovery, invention, improvement, software, writing or other material or design that relates to the business of the Company or relates to the Company's actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development which is conceived or suggested by Employee, either solely or jointly with others, within one year following termination of Employee's employment shall be presumed to have been so made, conceived or suggested in the course of such employment with the use of the Company's equipment, supplies, facilities, and/or trade secrets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) In order to determine the rights of Employee and the Company in any idea, discovery, invention, improvement, software, writing or other material, and to insure the protection of the same, Employee agrees that during Employee's employment, and for one year after termination of Employee's employment Employee will disclose immediately and fully to the Company any idea, discovery, invention, improvement, software, writing or other material or design conceived, made or developed by Employee solely or jointly with others. The Company agrees to keep any such disclosures confidential. Employee also agrees to record descriptions of all work in the manner directed by the Company and agrees that all such records and copies, samples and experimental materials will be the exclusive property of the Company. Employee agrees that at the request of and without charge to the Company, but at the Company's expense, Employee will execute a written assignment of the idea, discovery, invention, improvement, software, writing or other material or design to the Company and will assign to the Company any application for letters patent or for trademark registration made thereon, and to any common-law or statutory copyright therein; and that Employee will do whatever may be necessary or desirable to enable the Company to secure any patent, trademark, copyright, or other property right therein in the United States and in any foreign country, and any division, renewal, continuation, or continuation in part thereof, or for any reissue of any patent issued thereon. In the event the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, and in any event after ten (10) business days, to secure Employee's signature on a written assignment to the Company of any application for letters patent or to any common-law or statutory copyright or other property right therein, whether because of Employee's physical or mental incapacity or for any other reason whatsoever, Employee irrevocably designates and appoints the VP, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary of the Company as Employee's attorney-in-fact to act on Employee's behalf to execute and file any such application and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of such letters patent, copyright or trademark.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Employee acknowledges that, to the extent permitted by law, all work papers, reports, documentation, drawings, photographs, negatives, tapes and masters therefor, prototypes and other materials (hereinafter, "<u>items</u>"), including without limitation, any and all such items generated and maintained on any form of electronic media, generated by Employee during Employee's employment with the Company will be considered a "work made for hire" and that ownership of any and all copyrights in any and all such items will belong to the Company. The item shall recognize the Company as the copyright owner, will contain all proper copyright notices, e.g., "(creation date) Coronado Global Resources, Inc., All Rights Reserved," and shall be in condition to be registered or otherwise placed in compliance with registration or other statutory requirements throughout the world.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Injunctive and Other Relief</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Employee represents that his experience and capabilities are such that Sections 5 and 6 hereof do not prevent him from earning his livelihood and acknowledges that it would cause the Coronado Group serious and irreparable injury and cost if Employee were to use his ability and knowledge in competition with the Coronado Group or to otherwise breach the obligations contained in said Sections.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In the event of a breach by Employee of the terms of this Agreement, the Coronado Group shall be entitled, if it shall so elect, to institute legal proceedings to obtain damages for any such breach, or to enforce the specific performance of this Agreement by Employee and to enjoin Employee from any further violation of this Agreement and to exercise such remedies cumulatively or in conjunction with all other rights and remedies provided by law. Employee acknowledges, however, that the remedies at law for any breach by him of the provisions of this Agreement may be inadequate and that the Coronado Group shall be entitled to injunctive relief against him in the event of any breach whether or not the Coronado Group may also be entitled to recover damages hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) It is the intention of the parties that the provisions of Sections 5 and 6 hereof shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, but that the unenforceability (or modification to conform to such law) of any provision or provisions hereof shall not render unenforceable, or impair, the remainder thereof. If any provision or provisions hereof shall be deemed invalid or unenforceable, either in whole or in part, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to delete or modify, as necessary, the offending provision or provisions and to alter the bounds thereof in order to render it valid and enforceable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Arbitration</u>.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination or validation hereof, other than actions for specific performance or an injunction under Section 7 hereof, shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted expeditiously in accordance with the American Arbitration Association Employment Arbitration Rules by three independent and impartial arbitrators. Each party shall appoint one of such arbitrators, and the two arbitrators so appointed shall appoint the third arbitrator. The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be Beckley, West Virginia. The arbitrators are not empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory damages and each party hereby irrevocably waives any damages in excess of compensatory damages.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>Governing Law</u>.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of West Virginia without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of West Virginia or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of West Virginia.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>Amendments, Waivers, Etc</u>.

No amendment of any provision of this Agreement, and no postponement or waiver of any such provision or of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be valid unless such amendment, postponement or waiver is in writing and signed by or on behalf of the Company and Employee. No such amendment, postponement or waiver shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent matter, whether or not similar to the subject matter of such amendment, postponement or waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Company or Employee in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. <u>Assignment</u>.

The rights and duties of the Company under this Agreement may be transferred to, and shall be binding upon, any person or company which acquires or is a successor to the Company, its business or a significant portion of the assets of the Company by merger, purchase or otherwise, and the Company shall require any such acquirer or successor, by agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Employee, to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such acquisition or succession had taken place. Regardless of whether such agreement is executed, this Agreement shall be binding upon any acquirer or successor in accordance with the operation of law and such acquirer or successor shall be deemed the "Company" for purposes of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11, neither the Company nor Employee may transfer any of their respective rights and duties hereunder except with the written consent of the other party hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. <u>Interpretation, Etc</u>.

The Company and Employee have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Company and Employee, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring the Company or Employee because of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. The word "including" shall mean including without limitation. The rights and remedies expressly specified in this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which either party would otherwise have. The Section headings hereof are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "<u>termination</u>" when used in the context of a condition to, or timing of, payment hereunder shall be interpreted to mean a "separation from service" as that term is used in Section 409A of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. <u>Integration; Counterparts</u>.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, to the extent they relate to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. <u>Code Section 409A</u>.

All amounts payable under this Agreement are intended to comply with the "short term deferral" exception from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code ("Section 409A") specified in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(4) (or any successor provision) or the "separation pay plan" exception specified in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(9) (or any successor provision), or both of them, and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the applicable exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any amounts payable in accordance with this Agreement are subject to Section 409A, this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in such a way as to comply with Section 409A to the maximum extent possible. Each installment payment of compensation under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment of compensation for purposes of applying Section 409A. If payment of any amount subject to Section 409A is triggered by a separation from service that occurs while the Employee is a "specified employee" (as defined by Section 409A), and if such amount is scheduled to be paid within six (6) months after such separation from service, the amount shall accrue without interest and shall be paid the first business day after the end of such six-month period, or, if earlier, within 15 days after the appointment of the personal representative or executor of the Employee's estate following the Employee's death. "Termination of employment," "resignation" or words of similar import, as used in this Agreement shall mean, with respect to any payments subject to Section 409A, the Employee's "separation from service" as defined by Section 409A.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of March 28, 2026, to be effective as of the effective date.
