**Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

<u>Sale of Shares of Collins Building & Contracting, Inc</u>.

On December 31, 2025, Range Reclaim, LLC ("Range Reclaim"), a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Range Impact, Inc. (the "Company"), and Range Environmental Resources, Inc., a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Collins Sale Agreement") with Collins Reclamation, LLC ("Collins Reclamation"), an unaffiliated entity, pursuant to which Range Reclaim agreed to sell all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Collins Building & Contracting, Inc., a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company ("Collins Building"), to Collins Reclamation in exchange for, among other things, the assumption of the liabilities and obligations associated with various on-going agreements entered into by Collins Building. The Collins Sale Agreement contains terms, conditions, covenants, indemnification provisions, and representations and warranties from each of the respective parties that are customary and typical for a transaction of this nature.

The Company had originally acquired the business of Collins Building in August 2023 in connection with the Company's plan to expand its reclamation services in the abandoned mine land and bond forfeitures projects in West Virginia (the "AML Business"). The Company ultimately determined that it was in the Company's best interests to exit the AML Business in order to focus its capital and human resources on the reclamation and repurposing of Company-owned mine sites, and in August 2024, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement pursuant to which it sold the bulk of the AML Business assets. The transaction reflected by the Collins Sale Agreement represents the final step in exiting the AML Business.

The foregoing description of the Collins Sale Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Collins Sale Agreement and its exhibits and schedules attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

Kentucky Mine Land Purchase

On December 31, 2025, Range Bluegrass Land, LLC, a newly-formed wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company ("Range Bluegrass"), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Bluegrass PSA") with Continental Land Co., LLC ("Continental Land") for the purchase of the real and personal property commonly associated with the previous Premier Elkorn and Cambrian Coal mining operations in Eastern Kentucky (the "Premier-Cambrian Property"). Range Bluegrass was not required to pay any cash for the Premier-Cambrian Property to Continental Land, the sole consideration being Range Bluegrass' agreement to assume responsibility for the oversight, management and release of the forty-three (43) mining permits owned by Reckoning Reclamation, LLC ("Reckoning") associated with the Premier-Cambrian Property and the mines located thereon, including responsibility for paying the reclamation costs associated with each individual permit. In connection with its assumption of the reclamation costs, on December 31, 2025, Range Bluegrass also entered into a Joinder to General Indemnity Agreement ("GIA Joinder") by and among Range Bluegrass, Reckoning Reclamation, and Continental Heritage Insurance Company ("Continental Insurance"), the latter of which issued the surety bonds with respect to the permits associated with the mines on the Premier-Cambrian Property (the "Reckoning Permits"), pursuant to which Range Bluegrass pledged the real and personal property associated with the Premier-Cambrian Property as collateral in support of the approximately $54 million in bonds issued by Continental Insurance for the Reckoning Permits.

Continental Land is 80%-owned by Tower IV, LLC, an investment entity owned by the daughters of Joseph E. LoConti, the Company's largest shareholder ("LoConti"). LoConti is a manager of Continental Land. Devica Capital, LLC ("Devica") owns the remaining 20% of Continental Land. Michael Cavanaugh, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and member of the Company's board of directors, own 100% of Devica. LoConti also owns approximately 9% of the outstanding stock of Continental Insurance which holds the reclamation bonds, the liability for which is being assumed by Range Bluegrass in connection with the transactions reflected by the Bluegrass PSA. The Bluegrass PSA contains terms, conditions, covenants, indemnification provisions, and representations and warranties from each of the respective parties that are customary and typical for a transaction of this nature.

The foregoing description of the Bluegrass PSA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bluegrass PSA and its exhibits and schedules attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2.

Kentucky Property Real Estate Option

On December 31, 2025, Range Bluegrass and MRR CNG, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company engaged in the business of waste sorting and recycling for residential and commercial customers throughout the eastern United States ("MRR"), entered into an Option Agreement ("MRR Option Agreement") pursuant to which Range Bluegrass, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Option Agreement and in consideration of the payment of $500,000 (the "Option Fee"), granted MRR an option to purchase approximately 1,500 acres of the land purchased by Range Bluegrass (the "MRR Option") pursuant to the Bluegrass PSA described above in this Item 1.01 (the "Option Property"). Subject to such extensions as permitted by the MRR Option Agreement, the MRR Option commenced on December 31, 2025 and expires on December 31, 2031 (the "Option Term").

Pursuant to the MRR Option Agreement, in the event of MRR's exercise of the MMR Option, Range Bluegrass and MRR agree to use good faith efforts to negotiate a purchase agreement for the Option Property based on an appraised value or such other method as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties, reduced by the Option Fee (among other credits) and subject to Range Bluegrass' retention of, among other things, (i) its right to retain the ownership of certain timber and mineral rights and related facilities in, on or under the Option Property and (ii) all environmental and reclamation obligations and associated liabilities, as well as all regulatory fines, penalties and other liabilities arising from Range Bluegrass' operations on and ownership of the Option Property. The MRR Option Agreement also permits MRR to conduct certain due diligence activities during the Option Term and requires Range Bluegrass to make available to MRR, upon request, information reasonably requested by MRR relating to the Option Property. The MMR Option Agreement contains terms, conditions, covenants, indemnification provisions, and representations and warranties from each of the respective parties that are customary and typical for a transaction of this nature.

The foregoing description of the MRR Option Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the MRR Option Agreement and its exhibits and schedules attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3.

Landfill Development Consulting Agreements

● <u>MRR Consulting Agreement</u>. On December 31, 2025, and in conjunction with the execution of the above-referenced MRR Option Agreement, the Company and MRR entered into a consulting agreement (the "MRR Consulting Agreement") pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide MMR with certain services, among them, reclamation, remediation, road and culvert reclamation plans, assessment, monitoring, bond release applications and bond instrument review, internal compliance reviews and land use planning services related to MMR's potential development of a new residential and commercial landfill operation on the Option Property, all as set forth more specifically on Exhibit A to the MRR Consulting Agreement.

The MMR Consulting Agreement provides for an initial engagement fee payment of $500,000 paid on December 31, 2025 and quarterly engagement fee payments of $250,000 payable thereafter until December 31, 2027. The MMR Consulting Agreement terminates on December 31, 2027 provided that either party may terminate the agreement at an earlier date by providing the other party with a 30-day written notice of such intent to terminate. If the MRR Consulting Agreement is terminated prior to December 31, 2027, MMR is only responsible for paying the pro rata amount of the engagement fees and all previous paid engagement fees would be deemed earned and paid.

The MRR Consulting Agreement contains terms, conditions, covenants, indemnification provisions, and representations and warranties from each of the respective parties that are customary and typical for a transaction of this nature.

● <u>F&G LLC Consulting Agreement</u>. On December 31, 2025, and in conjunction with the execution of the above-referenced MRR Option Agreement and MRR Consulting Agreement, the Company and F&G, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company and affiliate of MRR, engaged in the business of waste sorting and recycling for residential and commercial customers throughout the eastern United States ("F&G"), entered into a consulting agreement (the "F&G Consulting Agreement") pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide F&G with certain services, among them, reclamation, remediation, road and culvert reclamation plans, assessment, monitoring, bond release applications and bond instrument review, internal compliance reviews and land use planning services related to the potential development of the new residential and commercial landfill operation on the Option Property, all as set forth more specifically on Exhibit A to the F&G Consulting Agreement. To the Company's knowledge, MRR and F&G are affiliated entities.

The F&G Consulting Agreement provides for an initial engagement fee payment of $500,000 paid on December 31, 2025 and quarterly engagement fee payments of $250,000 payable thereafter until December 31, 2027. The F&G Consulting Agreement terminates on December 31, 2027 provided that either party may terminate the agreement at an earlier date by providing the other party with a 30-day written notice of such intent to terminate. If the F&G Consulting Agreement is terminated prior to December 31, 2027, F&G is only responsible for paying the pro rata amount of the engagement fees and all previous paid engagement fees would be deemed earned and paid.

The F&G Consulting Agreement contains terms, conditions, covenants, indemnification provisions, and representations and warranties from each of the respective parties that are customary and typical for a transaction of this nature, almost all of which are identical to the terms and provisions in the related MRR Consulting Agreement.

The foregoing descriptions of the MRR Consulting Agreement and F&G Consulting Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the MRR Consulting Agreement and F&G Consulting Agreement and their respective exhibits and schedules attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4 and Exhibit 10.5, respectively.

*provided, however,* that the aggregate liability of Seller under this *Section 6.2* shall not exceed $1,000,000 (the "***Seller Indemnification Cap***") for breaches under *Article IV* other than breaches of Seller Fundamental Reps, and $3,000,000 (the "***Seller Maximum Cap***") for breaches of Seller Fundamental Reps.

**6.3.** *Indemnification by Buyer*. Subject to the limitations of this *Article VI*, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify Seller, its Affiliates and their respective stockholders, members, officers, managers, directors, employees, agents, partners, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the "***Seller Indemnified Parties***") and hold them harmless against the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Any Losses arising out of any breach by Buyer of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in *Article V* of this Agreement, or in any other related agreement entered into in connection with the transaction contemplated hereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Any Losses arising out of any breach by Buyer of any covenant or agreement made by Buyer in this Agreement, or in any other related agreement entered into in connection with the transaction contemplated hereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Any Losses arising out of any liabilities that are Assumed Liabilities under this Agreement;

**6.4.** *Defense of Third-Party Claims*. In the event of a claim by a third party against any Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, such Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (an "***Indemnitee***"), to the extent that it is seeking or making a claim for indemnification under this *Article VI*, shall notify (i) Buyer, if indemnity is sought from it or any Buyer Indemnified Party, or (ii) Seller, if indemnity is sought from it or any Seller Indemnified Party (the Party against whom the indemnification claim is asserted, as the case may be, the "***Indemnitor***"), of the claim in writing within fifteen (15) days after receiving written notice of any action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim against it, describing the claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) and the basis thereof; provided, that the failure to provide such notification hereunder shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder. Any Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim giving rise to an Indemnitee's claim for indemnification or reimbursement at its own expense, and at its option, shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof by appointing a recognized and reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee to be the lead counsel in connection with such defense.

**6.5.** *Direct Claims*. Any claim by an Indemnitee on account of a Loss which does not result from a third-party claim described in *Section 6.4* (a "***Direct Claim***") shall be asserted by the Indemnitee giving the Indemnitor written notice (with reasonable detail included in such notice, from which Indemnitor may reasonably determine the veracity of the alleged Loss) within thirty (30) days of Indemnitee obtaining actual knowledge of such alleged Loss. The failure to so notify the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent (and only to the extent that) such failure shall have caused the damages for which the Indemnitor is obligated to be greater than the amount such damages would have been had the Indemnitee given the Indemnitor prompt notice hereunder. Such notice by the Indemnitee shall describe the Direct Claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) and the basis thereof. The Indemnitor shall have fifteen (15) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnitor does not so respond within such fifteen (15) day period, or objects to the Direct Claim or otherwise fails or refuses to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to the Direct Claim, then the Indemnitor shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnitee on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

**6.6.** *Mitigation*. In the event of any breach giving rise to an indemnification obligation under this *Article VI*, each Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Loss, liability or damage which forms the basis of a claim hereunder or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including responding to such claims or liabilities in the same manner as the applicable Party would respond to such claims or liabilities in the absence of the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

**6.7.** *Exclusive Remedy*. The indemnification obligations set forth this *Article VI* shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the recovery of Losses resulting from, relating to or arising out of this Agreement and the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto.

**ARTICLE VII**

WHEREAS, Reckoning Reclamation, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company ("***Reckoning***"), owns forty-three (43) permits associated with the Premier-Cambrian Mines, which are set forth on **<u>Exhibit A</u>** attached hereto (the "***Reckoning Permits***"), and certain of the Reckoning Permits cover the Option Property;

WHEREAS, Continental Heritage Insurance Company, a Florida domiciled insurance company headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio ("***CHIC***"), entered into a General Indemnity Agreement (the "***Reckoning GIA***"), dated December 20, 2023, with Reckoning and Continental Land, whereby CHIC issued reclamation bonds to Reckoning in the amounts set forth on **<u>Exhibit A</u>** attached hereto (the "***Reclamation Bonds***"), as required by the Kentucky Department for Natural Resources in connection with the transfer of the Reckoning Permits to Reckoning;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Grant of Option</u>. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, Optionor grants to Optionee the sole, exclusive, and irrevocable right and option (the "***Option***") to purchase and acquire the surface only of those tracts or parcels of land described as containing 1,500 acres, more or less, situated in Pike County, Kentucky, being depicted on the maps attached hereto as **<u>Exhibit B</u>**, and any other property rights, including, without limitation, the use of all mineral and subsurface estates underlying such tracts or parcels of land deemed necessary or desirable by Optionee for purposes of constructing and/or operating a landfill, together with all beneficial easements, rights-of-way, privileges, rights and appurtenances pertaining thereto and all beneficial rail and utility infrastructure (the "***Option Property***"). Optionor and Optionee agree that upon completion of final engineering and prior to the expiration of the Option Term (as defined below), Optionee may, in its sole discretion and expense, obtain a boundary survey of the Option Property. If obtained, such survey description will definitively locate and describe the Option Property, and this final description will be used for the deed at the Closing (as defined below). The Parties acknowledge that **<u>Exhibit B</u>** depicts the approximate location of the Option Property and that the Option Property shall consist of 1,500 acres, more or less; *provided*, that the final boundary site survey description may increase or decrease such acreage as Optionee deems necessary or desirable for the development and operation of a landfill. Optionee shall have the right to cut, remove, and use all timber on the Option Property in the construction and operation of a landfill after its exercise of the Option and execution of the Purchase Agreement. The Option Property shall not include, and Optionor shall except and reserve unto itself, its successors and assigns, at the Closing (a) all coal, oil, gas, and other minerals within and underlying the Option Property, except for any such mineral rights in, on, or under the Option Property that Optionee deems necessary or desirable to construct or operate a landfill (the "***Reserved Minerals***"); (b) all timber located on the Option Property (the "***Reserved Timber***"), subject to Optionee's foregoing rights to cut, remove permanently or otherwise, and use such timber after its exercise of the Option and execution of the Purchase Agreement; and (c) all buildings, infrastructure, facilities, improvements, equipment, and all other personal property located on the Option Property, except for any such beneficial rail or utility infrastructure that Optionee deems necessary or desirable to construct or operate a landfill (the "***Reserved Facilities***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Term of Option</u>.

Closing shall occur no later than ninety (90) days after delivery of the Election Notice, unless mutually agreed otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Failure to Exercise Option</u>. If Optionee fails to exercise the Option prior to the expiration of the Option Term, the Option will automatically terminate, the Optionor shall retain the Option Fee, this Agreement shall become null and void, and the Parties shall have no further obligations or liabilities hereunder, except for those that expressly survive termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Due Diligence</u>. During the Option Term:

In addition, Optionor agrees to make available to Optionee upon request from time to time any and all other information reasonably requested by Optionee relating to the Option Property to the extent such information is in Optionor's or its affiliates' possession or control. All documents and records previously delivered or to be delivered pursuant to this Section are or shall be (as the case may be), to Optionor's knowledge and good faith belief, true, correct and complete copies of the documents and records required to be delivered. To the extent prepared by Optionor or its employees and/or agents, such documents, to Optionor's knowledge and good faith belief, accurately reflect the matters contained therein in every material respect, and to the extent prepared by others, Optionor is not aware of the existence of any facts or circumstances that would make any of the documents or records inaccurate in any material respect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. If Optionee determines that the Option Property is subject to any title, lien or encumbrance, adverse surface or subsurface condition, adverse environmental condition, or other matter which in Optionee's sole opinion may affect title or interfere with its contemplated ownership or use of, or access to, the Option Property (each a "***Defect***" and collectively the "***Defects***"), Optionee may, at its option: (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Optionor prior to the expiration of the Option Term, and Optionor shall promptly refund the Option Fee to Optionee, or (ii) provide Optionor with written notice of the Defect(s) and a reasonable opportunity to cure the same, and if Optionor will not or cannot remove or cure such Defect(s) within a reasonable time, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after delivery of written notice from Optionee, Optionee may, at its option, (1) elect to terminate the Agreement under (i) above, (2) exercise the Option and purchase the Option Property subject to a mutually agreed reduction of the Purchase Price, or (3) exercise the Option and exclude that portion of the Option Property affected by the Defect(s) subject to a mutually agreed adjustment to the Purchase Price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Authority</u>. Optionor hereby grants to Optionee, during the Option Term, the sole and exclusive right, at Optionee's sole expense, to apply for, pursue, and obtain, in Optionor's name or in Optionee's name as permitted by applicable law, any and all permits, approvals, variances, licenses, zoning relief, subdivision or land development approvals, utility allocations, governmental entitlements, and grants (collectively, "***Approvals***") relating to the Option Property. Optionor shall, at no additional cost to Optionee, reasonably cooperate with Optionee in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, executing and delivering all applications, forms, consents, authorizations, and other instruments; attending hearings, if required; and providing such further assurances as may be reasonably necessary for Optionee to pursue and obtain the Approvals. Optionor shall not unreasonably withhold, condition, or delay such cooperation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Risk of Loss</u>. Optionor shall bear the risk of loss or damage to the Option Property during the Option Term. In the event of substantial damage or destruction prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement, this Agreement shall be null and void and Optionor shall promptly return the Option Fee to Optionee; *provided, however*, Optionee shall have the option to continue with the transaction contemplated hereby, regardless of the extent of damages. The Option Property shall be deemed substantially damaged or destroyed if it cannot be restored to its present condition on or before the Closing date by or on behalf of Optionor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>Covenants; Exclusivity</u>. Throughout the Option Term, Optionor shall: (a) maintain the Option Property in its existing condition and not make any major removals, alterations, or changes thereto, except as may be required by this Agreement or by law or as may be necessary for purposes of obtaining bond and/or permit releases; (b) promptly deliver to Optionee copies of any notice received regarding the Option Property, including, without limitation, use, possession, occupancy, casualty, environmental, condemnation, lawsuits, and zoning changes; (c) waive any rights to and shall not develop the minerals in, on, and under the Option Property; and (d) except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, continue to operate the Option Property in substantially the same manner as it is currently being operated by Optionor. During the Option Term, Optionor shall not market, sell, lease, transfer, grant, convey, assign, mortgage, or otherwise encumber the Option Property without Optionee's prior written consent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>Reclamation and Removal of Reserved Facilities</u>. After the Effective Date, Optionor shall promptly commence and diligently pursue reclamation of the Option Property in accordance with all applicable laws and regulatory requirements, including, without limitation, pursuing a change in the post-mine land use of the impoundment located on the Option Property in order to have that area repurposed as a landfill, and removal of all Reserved Facilities on the Option Property. Beginning on the quarter ending March 31, 2026 (and for each calendar quarter thereafter), Optionor shall provide to Optionee a quarterly written report detailing the status of reclamation of the Option Property within sixty (60) days after the end of each such calendar quarter. Optionor shall provide to Optionee any additional information related to the reclamation of the Option Property that Optionee may reasonably request from time to time. Optionor shall, no later than Closing or other mutually agreed upon date, remove all Reserved Facilities from the Option Property in accordance with all regulatory standards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. <u>Title</u>. Optionor hereby represents and warrants to Optionee that Optionor is the sole owner of the Option Property, and that Optionor has the right, capacity, and all requisite corporate authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions provided for herein. If Optionor owns a lesser interest than the entire title in the Option Property, the Option Fee shall be paid to the Optionor only in that proportion which Optionor's interest bears to the entire title to the Option Property.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. <u>Indemnity and Liability</u>. Optionor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Optionee, its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, managers, members, shareholders, partners, employees, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors and assigns, from and against all liabilities, claims, losses, fines, fees, assessments, penalties, judgments, damages, costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees) which any of them shall incur, sustain or suffer and which relate to or arise, directly or indirectly, out of or in connection with (a) any permits (including environmental and mining permits), licenses, approvals, consents, and authorizations, together with all modifications, renewals, amendments and extensions thereof and applications therefor, of or from any governmental authority related to the Option Property and held by Optionor or its affiliates; (b) Optionor's acts or omissions (including any acts or omissions by parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, contractors or other persons or entities hired by or acting on behalf of Optionor) with respect to any reclamation obligations or liabilities associated with the Option Property, including, without limitation, all costs incurred in performing any actions required by the terms of any applicable law or remedying or otherwise curing any violations, defaults, breaches, instances of non-compliance or other occurrences with respect thereto ((a) and (b) together to include, without limitation, the Premier-Cambrian Mines, the Reckoning Permits, the Reclamation Bonds, the Reckoning GIA, the GIA Joinder, and the Reckoning Permits Contingent Liability); (c) any material breach by Optionor of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement; and (d) any material breach of any covenant or agreement by Optionor contained in this Agreement. This Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. <u>Default by Optionee</u>. If Optionee fails to perform any of its obligations under this Option Agreement and such failure continues for more than ninety (90) days after notice from Optionor, then Optionor may terminate this Option Agreement and retain the Option Fee paid by Optionee and Optionor thereafter shall have no further liability or obligations hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. <u>Default by Optionor</u>. If Optionor fails to perform any of its obligations, or is otherwise in default hereunder, Optionee shall have the right to: (a) waive such default and proceed to exercise the Option and Closing under the Purchase Agreement; (b) terminate this Option Agreement, whereupon the Option Fee shall be refunded by Optionor to Optionee; or (c) seek such other relief Optionee may have at law or in equity, including, without limitation, injunctive relief to prevent a sale of the Option Property to a party other than Optionee and the filing of an action for specific performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. <u>Prior Option</u>. The Parties acknowledge that by that certain Option Agreement dated December 4, 2025 (the "***Prior Option***"), Continental Land granted to USA Waste and Recycling, Inc., an affiliate of Optionee, the exclusive option to purchase the surface only of the Option Property, which Prior Option was assigned to the Parties hereto. The Parties agree that this Agreement shall amend, supersede, and replace the Prior Option in its entirety.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. <u>Assignment; Binding Effect</u>. This Agreement may not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the Parties; *provided, however,* that Optionee may assign or transfer this Agreement to any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, or designees without the prior written consent of Optionor. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intent of the Parties that this Agreement shall be a covenant running with the land with respect to the Option Property during the Option Term, and any transfer by Optionor with respect to any of its interests in the Option Property during the Option Term shall be expressly subject to this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. <u>Notices</u>. All notices, requests, claims, demands or other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given or made (and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made upon receipt) by delivery in person, by overnight courier service or by registered or certified mail postage prepaid, return receipt requested, by electronic transmission with receipt confirmed (followed by delivery of an original via overnight courier service or by registered or certified mail postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the respective Parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a Party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section):

**WHEREAS**, Client is in the business of waste sorting and recycling for residential and commercial customers throughout the eastern United States, and is interested in developing, building and operating a new residential and commercial landfill operation on approximately 1,500 acres of a former coal mine in Eastern Kentucky owned by a subsidiary of Consultant that is currently subject to mining permits and reclamation obligations, and for which Client has a purchase option to acquire (the "***Project***"); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.  **<u>Access to Records</u>.** Client will provide Consultant access to books, records and reports as
 may be reasonably necessary for Consultant to perform the Services. Client acknowledges that
 the Services to be provided under this Agreement are highly reliant on the accuracy of information
 received by Client. Therefore, Client agrees that Consultant may rely on the accuracy and
 validity of the data disclosed or supplied to Consultant in connection with the Engagement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.  **<u>Non-Reliance</u>.** Consultant is being retained to perform the Services described herein, and shall not constitute
 an audit, review or compilation of financial statements or any other consulting engagement
 that is subject to the rules of the AICPA. The Services are not intended as, nor should they
 be construed in any way as, accounting or legal advice, nor is Consultant acting in any capacity
 as an intermediary to offer, sell, purchase, or exchange securities to or with any person
 pursuant to any federal or state securities laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.  **<u>Confidentiality</u>.** Consultant will keep confidential all non-public, confidential or proprietary information
 pertaining to Client and the Project (the "  ***Confidential Information*** ")
 received during the performance of the Services. Consultant will not disclose any Confidential
 Information to any other person or entity or use any Confidential Information for any purpose
 other than as set forth in this Agreement. This provision shall not prohibit Consultant from
 disclosure pursuant to a valid subpoena or court order, or applicable law, including any
 disclosure obligation under federal or state securities laws, but such disclosure shall be
 to the minimum extent necessary to comply with said subpoena, court order, or applicable
 law. Consultant shall promptly notify Client of any such subpoena or court order it receives.
 All Confidential Information shall remain the sole property of Client and, upon written request,
 Consultant will promptly return or destroy all original writings, records or documents referencing
 any of the Confidential Information, except for one copy of all Confidential Information
 that Consultant may retain to ensure compliance with the confidentiality obligations of this
 Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.  **<u>Relationship of Parties</u>.** Consultant and Client hereby acknowledge and agree that an independent

 and consulting services to Client and will not make management decisions for Client. As such,
 neither Consultant nor any of its employees, officers, contractors, partners, members, managers,
 agents, representatives, advisors or affiliates will have any fiduciary duties or obligations
 to Client by providing the Services. While Consultant may make recommendations and suggestions
 to Client related to the Project from time to time, all management decisions rest solely
 with Client.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.  **<u>No Representations or Warranties</u>.** Consultant has not made any representations or warranties
 of any nature as to the results or outcomes of any of the Services provided under this Engagement,
 the success or satisfactory conclusion of this Engagement or as to the economic, operational,
 financial or other results or return objectives which may be obtained or experienced by Client.
 Client further acknowledges that recommendations, advice and decisions are subject to various
 market, economic, business, regulatory and outcome risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.  **<u>Limitation of Liability</u>.** Client agrees that Consultant and any of its partners, officers, managers,
 members, agents, employees or controlling persons shall not be liable to Client for any loss
 except for direct damages found in a final non-appealable judgment to be the result of Consultant's
 gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither Party shall be liable for any special, incidental,
 consequential, punitive, or indirect loss, including, without limitation, damages for lost
 profits, diminution in value, lost data, reputational damages or other similar damages, whether
 any such loss is foreseeable. Further, the total liability of Consultant to Client, if any,
 in relation to this Agreement, shall be limited in amount to the Engagement Fees paid by
 Client to Consultant for the Services provided under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
 foregoing, the Parties agree that each may be liable to the other for breach of contract
 damages.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.  **<u>Termination</u>.** This Agreement will terminate on December 31, 2027, once the final Engagement Fee payment
 has been made; provided, however, that this Agreement may be terminated at an earlier time
 by either Party by providing the other Party with 30-day written notice of such intent to
 terminate. If this Agreement is terminated prior to December 31, 2027, then Client shall
 be responsible to pay Consultant only the pro rata amount of Engagement Fees earned during
 the applicable period referenced in Section 3 and all previously paid Engagement Fees would
 be deemed earned and paid. For example, if a quarterly period is 90 days and this Agreement
 is terminated on the 45<sup>th</sup> day of such 90-day period, then all previous payments
 would be deemed earned and paid, and 50% (45 days / 90 days) of the quarterly payment ($125,000)
 would be due and payable during the quarter in which this Agreement is terminated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.  **<u>Invalidity</u>.** Each of the provisions contained in this Agreement is distinct and severable and a determination
 of illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any such provision or part hereof by a court
 of competent jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision
 hereof, unless this Agreement would fail in its essential purpose because of such judicial
 determination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.  **<u>Binding Effect</u>.** This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties
 hereto and their respective heirs, beneficiaries, personal representatives, successors and
 permitted assigns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.  **<u>Assignment</u>.** This Agreement may not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the prior
 written consent of the Parties, *provided, however,* that Client may assign or transfer
 this Agreement to any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, or designees in Client's sole
 discretion, by providing thirty (30) days' advanced written notice to the Consultant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.  **<u>Entire Agreement</u>.** This Agreement sets forth the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement
 of the Parties concerning the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior oral
 or written negotiations, agreements or understandings of the Parties. The recitals constitute
 terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the Parties agree to be bound by them.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16.  **<u>Amendments</u>.** No amendment, modification or waiver of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement
 shall be binding or effective unless in writing signed by the Parties hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.  **<u>Governing Law</u>.** This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
 of the State of Ohio without regard to conflicts of law principles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18.  **<u>Jurisdiction</u>.** Any controversy or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement that cannot be amicably
 resolved will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located
 in Cuyahoga County in the State of Ohio. The Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive
 any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding in sch courts and
 irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action
 or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.  **<u>Waiver of Jury Trial</u>.** The Parties hereby unconditionally waive their right to a jury trial
 in respect of any claim or cause of action based upon or arising out of, directly or indirectly,
 this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20.  **<u>Notices</u>.** Any notices or other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement
 shall be deemed to have been given if in writing and delivered personally, by electronic
 mail, by same day or overnight courier or sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed

 validity of the data disclosed or supplied to Consultant in connection with the Engagement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.  **<u>Non-Reliance</u>.** Consultant is being retained to perform the Services described herein, and shall not constitute
 an audit, review or compilation of financial statements or any other consulting engagement
 that is subject to the rules of the AICPA. The Services are not intended as, nor should they
 be construed in any way as, accounting or legal advice, nor is Consultant acting in any capacity
 as an intermediary to offer, sell, purchase, or exchange securities to or with any person
 pursuant to any federal or state securities laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.  **<u>Confidentiality</u>.** Consultant will keep confidential all non-public, confidential or proprietary information
 pertaining to Client and the Project (the "  ***Confidential Information*** ")
 received during the performance of the Services. Consultant will not disclose any Confidential
 Information to any other person or entity or use any Confidential Information for any purpose
 other than as set forth in this Agreement. This provision shall not prohibit Consultant from
 disclosure pursuant to a valid subpoena or court order, or applicable law, including any
 disclosure obligation under federal or state securities laws, but such disclosure shall be
 to the minimum extent necessary to comply with said subpoena, court order, or applicable
 law. Consultant shall promptly notify Client of any such subpoena or court order it receives.
 All Confidential Information shall remain the sole property of Client and, upon written request,
 Consultant will promptly return or destroy all original writings, records or documents referencing
 any of the Confidential Information, except for one copy of all Confidential Information

 Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.  **<u>Relationship of Parties</u>.** Consultant and Client hereby acknowledge and agree that an independent

 and consulting services to Client and will not make management decisions for Client. As such,
 neither Consultant nor any of its employees, officers, contractors, partners, members, managers,
 agents, representatives, advisors or affiliates will have any fiduciary duties or obligations
 to Client by providing the Services. While Consultant may make recommendations and suggestions
 to Client related to the Project from time to time, all management decisions rest solely
 with Client.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.  **<u>No Representations or Warranties</u>.** Consultant has not made any representations or warranties
 of any nature as to the results or outcomes of any of the Services provided under this Engagement,
 the success or satisfactory conclusion of this Engagement or as to the economic, operational,
 financial or other results or return objectives which may be obtained or experienced by Client.
 Client further acknowledges that recommendations, advice and decisions are subject to various
 market, economic, business, regulatory and outcome risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.  **<u>Limitation of Liability</u>.** Client agrees that Consultant and any of its partners, officers, managers,
 members, agents, employees or controlling persons shall not be liable to Client for any loss
 except for direct damages found in a final non-appealable judgment to be the result of Consultant's
 gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither Party shall be liable for any special, incidental,
 consequential, punitive, or indirect loss, including, without limitation, damages for lost
 profits, diminution in value, lost data, reputational damages or other similar damages, whether
 any such loss is foreseeable. Further, the total liability of Consultant to Client, if any,
 in relation to this Agreement, shall be limited in amount to the Engagement Fees paid by
 Client to Consultant for the Services provided under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
 foregoing, the Parties agree that each may be liable to the other for breach of contract
 damages.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.  **<u>Termination</u>.** This Agreement will terminate on December 31, 2027, once the final Engagement Fee payment
 has been made; provided, however, that this Agreement may be terminated at an earlier time
 by either Party by providing the other Party with 30-day written notice of such intent to
 terminate. If this Agreement is terminated prior to December 31, 2027, then Client shall
 be responsible to pay Consultant only the pro rata amount of Engagement Fees earned during
 the applicable period referenced in Section 3 and all previously paid Engagement Fees would
 be deemed earned and paid. For example, if a quarterly period is 90 days and this Agreement
 is terminated on the 45<sup>th</sup> day of such 90-day period, then all previous payments
 would be deemed earned and paid, and 50% (45 days / 90 days) of the quarterly payment ($125,000)
 would be due and payable during the quarter in which this Agreement is terminated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.  **<u>Invalidity</u>.** Each of the provisions contained in this Agreement is distinct and severable and a determination
 of illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any such provision or part hereof by a court
 of competent jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision
 hereof, unless this Agreement would fail in its essential purpose because of such judicial
 determination.

13.  **<u>Binding Effect</u>.** This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties
 hereto and their respective heirs, beneficiaries, personal representatives, successors and
 permitted assigns.

14.  **<u>Assignment</u>.** This Agreement may not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the prior
 written consent of the Parties, *provided, however,* that Client may assign or transfer
 this Agreement to any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, or designees in Client's sole
 discretion, by providing thirty (30) days' advanced written notice to the Consultant.

15.  **<u>Entire Agreement</u>.** This Agreement sets forth the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement
 of the Parties concerning the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior oral
 or written negotiations, agreements or understandings of the Parties. The recitals constitute
 terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the Parties agree to be bound by them.

 resolved will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located
 in Cuyahoga County in the State of Ohio. The Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive
 any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding in sch courts and
 irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action
 or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

19.  **<u>Waiver of Jury Trial</u>.** The Parties hereby unconditionally waive their right to a jury trial

**MEMBERSHIP INTEREST OPTION AND**

**CASH DISTRIBUTION RIGHT AGREEMENT**

This MEMBERSHIP INTEREST OPTION AND CASH DISTRIBUTION RIGHT AGREEMENT (this "***Agreement***") is made and entered into as of December 31, 2025 (the "***Effective Date***"), by and between **Range Bluegrass Land, LLC**, an Ohio limited liability company (the "***Optionor***"), and **Wicks Building LLC**, a Connecticut limited liability company (the "***Optionee***"). Optionor and Optionee may be referred to herein individually as a "***Party***" or collectively as the "***Parties****.*"

**WITNESSETH**

**WHEREAS**, the Optionor entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "***Purchase Agreement***"), dated as of the date hereof, with Continental Land Co., LLC, an Ohio limited liability company ("***Continental Land***"), whereby Optionor acquired real and personal property interests in Floyd, Letcher, and Pike Counties, Kentucky commonly associated with the Premier Elkhorn and Cambrian Coal mining operations (the "***Premier-Cambrian Mines***");

**WHEREAS**, Reckoning Reclamation, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company ("***Reckoning***"), owns forty-three (43) permits associated with the Premier-Cambrian Mines, which are set forth on <u>Exhibit A</u> attached hereto (the "***Reckoning Permits***");

**WHEREAS**, Continental Heritage Insurance Company, a Florida domiciled insurance company headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio ("***CHIC***"), entered into a General Indemnity Agreement (the "***Reckoning GIA***"), dated December 20, 2023, with Reckoning and Continental Land, whereby CHIC issued reclamation bonds to Reckoning in the amounts set forth on <u>Exhibit A</u> attached hereto (the "***Reclamation Bonds***"), as required and approved in all respects by the Kentucky Department for Natural Resources in connection with the transfer of the Reckoning Permits to Reckoning;

**WHEREAS**, under the Reckoning GIA, Continental Land agreed to pledge all its owned real and personal property associated with the Premier-Cambrian Mines as collateral for the Reclamation Bonds;

**WHEREAS**, under the Purchase Agreement, Continental Land transferred and conveyed all its owned real and personal property associated with the Premier-Cambrian Mines to the Optionor, and concurrently, the Optionor entered into a Joinder Agreement ("***GIA Joinder***"), dated as of the date hereof, with CHIC and Reckoning, whereby the Optionor agreed to join the Reckoning GIA as an "*Indemnitor*" (as defined therein) and pledge all the real and personal property of the Premier-Cambrian Mines acquired under the Purchase Agreement as collateral for the Reclamation Bonds;

**WHEREAS**, under Section 3.3 of the Purchase Agreement, Optionor agreed to be responsible for the oversight, management and release of the Reckoning Permits (defined therein and herein as the "***Reckoning Permits Contingent Liability***"), which responsibilities shall include paying for the costs of the Reclamation Liabilities (as defined therein) for each permit set forth on <u>Exhibit A</u> attached hereto and thereto, until one of the conditions set forth in Section 3.3 of the Purchase Agreement has been satisfied for each such individual Reckoning Permit and each such Reclamation Bond is fully and finally released;

**WHEREAS**, once the Reckoning Permits Contingent Liability has been fully, completely and unconditionally eliminated for each of the Reckoning Permits and the associated Reclamation Bonds set forth on <u>Exhibit A</u> attached hereto, the Optionor would have no further obligation or liability to CHIC or Reckoning under the Reckoning GIA (the "***Final Reclamation Completion Date***");

**WHEREAS,** the Optionee acknowledges and agrees that Optionor's primary strategies are: (i) to develop cash flow generating opportunities on the Premier-Cambrian Mines through mining, timbering, asset sales, or other value creation initiatives to generate cash flow to fund the Reclamation Liabilities under the Reckoning Permits and Reclamation Bonds ("***Cash Flow Activities***"); (ii) to resolve the Reclamation Liabilities as efficiently and cost effectively as possible based on the availability of cash flow ("***Reclamation Activities***"), and (iii) to develop long-term value creation opportunities with the real property of the Premier-Cambrian Mines after the Reclamation Liabilities have been resolved and the Reckoning Permits and associated Reclamation Bonds have been released from those specific areas of real property, commonly in partnership with other capital partners and operators with specialized knowledge, expertise and relationships to advance those new value-creation projects ("***Future Land Developments***");

**WHEREAS,** the Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Optionor intends to use all available cash flow that it receives, from whatever source, to fund the resolution of the Reclamation Liabilities under the Reckoning Permits and Reclamation Bonds until the Final Reclamation Completion Date, and Optionee understands, acknowledges and agrees that there may not be any cash distribution paid to the Optionor's sole member, Range Land LLC, an Ohio limited liability company ("***Range Land***"), or the Optionee prior to the Final Reclamation Completion Date;

**WHEREAS**, the Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Optionor is entering in an Option Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, with MRR CNG, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company ("***MRR***") whereby the Optionor has granted MRR with an option to purchase approximately 1,500 acres of surface land located at the Premier-Cambrian Mines to develop and operate a landfill or for any other legal purpose ("***MRR Option***");

**WHEREAS**, the Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Optionor's Articles of Organization filed with the Ohio Secretary of State on December 15, 2025 (the "***Articles of Organization***"), Foreign Business Qualification filed with the Kentucky Secretary of State on December 18, 2025 (the "***KY Business Qualification***"), and Operating Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2025 (the "***Operating Agreement***", and together with the Articles of Organization and KY Business Qualification, the "***Optionor's Governance Documents***"), as set forth on <u>Exhibit B</u> attached hereto, are the Optionor's primary governance documents in effect as of the date hereof;

**WHEREAS**, as of the date hereof, Range Land is the sole member of the Optionor under the Operating Agreement;

**WHEREAS**, in exchange for the Option Fee (as defined in Section 1.1 below) paid by the Optionee to the Optionor on the date hereof, the Optionor desires to grant the Optionee, and the Optionee desires to receive from the Optionor, the Cash Distribution Right (as defined in Section 2.1 below) and the Equity Option (as defined in Section 3.1 below), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

**WHEREAS**, the Optionee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may decide to not exercise the Equity Option and let it expire based on the terms herein, for any reason or no reason at all, including after the Final Reclamation Completion Date, and therefore the Optionor acknowledges and agrees that the Optionee shall have no obligation or liability in any way to the Optionor if the Optionee elects to not exercise, terminate or allow to expire the Equity Option.

**NOW, THEREFORE**, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **1.** **CONSIDERATION**

**1.1 Payment.** On the Effective Date, the Optionee shall pay to the Optionor a fee of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) (the **"*Option Fee*"**) in accordance with wiring or payment instructions timely provided by the Optionor. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Option Fee is consideration for the Cash Distribution Right and the Equity Option.

**1.2 Independence**. The Optionee's rights hereunder are exercisable and enforceable independently of any separate option or agreement with the Optionor (or any affiliate of Optionor) including, without limitation, the MRR Option.

**1.3 Securities Law Compliance.** The Equity Option and the Optionee's Membership Interests (as defined in Section 3.1 below) have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "***Securities Act***"), or any applicable state securities laws. The Equity Option is being granted, and the membership interests representing the equity of the Optionor will be issued, in reliance upon exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Optionee acknowledges that the membership interests representing the equity of the Optionor, when and if issued, will be "restricted securities" under the Securities Act and may not be resold or transferred unless they are first registered under the Securities Act and such state and other securities laws as may be applicable, or unless an exemption from registration is available.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **2.** **CASH DISTRIBUTION RIGHT** 

**2.1 Grant**. As of the Effective Date, the Optionor hereby grants to the Optionee the right to receive cash in an amount equal to any cash distributions paid by the Optionor to Range Land, Range Impact, Inc., or any other parent, subsidiary, or affiliate, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Operating Agreement (the "***Cash Distribution Right***"). For illustrative purposes only, if the Optionor distributes cash in an amount equal to $100,000 to Range Land during the Cash Distribution Right Period (as defined in Section 2.2 below) pursuant to the Operating Agreement, then the Optionor shall be required to also distribute cash in an amount equal to $100,000 to the Optionee (which results in 50% of any cash distributions paid to Range Land and 50% of any cash distributions paid to the Optionee during the Cash Distribution Rights Period).

**2.2 Period.** The Cash Distribution Right shall remain in full force and effect for the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the date that is the earlier of the Optionee's exercise of the Equity Option (pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) or the expiration of the Term (as defined in Section 6.1 below) (such period, the "***Cash Distribution Right Period***"). For clarification purposes only, the Optionor shall have no obligation to make any cash distribution payments to the Optionee under the Cash Distribution Right after the expiration of the Cash Distribution Right Period.

**2.3 Timing.** If any amounts are due and owing to the Optionee under the Cash Distribution Right during the Cash Distribution Right Period, then Optionor shall pay the full amount due to the Optionee at the same time that any equivalent cash payment is made by the Optionor to Range Land. The Optionee shall be required to provide the Optionor with wiring or payment instructions for any payments due under this Agreement.

**2.4 No Obligation.** The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Optionor shall have no obligation, in any way or for any reason, to make cash distributions to Range Land and the Optionee during the Cash Distribution Right Period. The Optionor shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, use its cash and assets for any general business purposes directly or indirectly related to resolving the Reclamation Liabilities under the Reckoning Permits and releasing the Reclamation Bonds during the Cash Distribution Right Period. Therefore, the Optionee hereby acknowledges and agrees that it may not receive any cash distributions under the Cash Distribution Right during the Cash Distribution Right Period.

**2.5 No Cash Calls; No Expenses.** For the avoidance of doubt, during the Cash Distribution Right Period, the Optionee shall have no obligation, in any way or for any reason, to make capital contributions to or pay for any expenses related to the Optionor.

**2.6 Right to Participate in Future Land Developments.** During the Cash Distribution Right Period, and in the event that any Future Land Development is developed or contemplated by the Optionor related to the Cambrian-Premier Mines that would operate as a separate entity or as a wholly-owned or partially-owned subsidiary of the Optionor, the Optionor shall bring forth to the Optionee any such opportunity and the Optionee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in such Future Land Developments at least to the extent and level that the Optionor participates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **3.** **EQUITY OPTION**

**3.1 Grant of Option**. The Optionor hereby grants the Optionee an option (the "***Equity Option***"), exercisable at the Optionee's sole and absolute discretion in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to convert the Cash Distribution Right into Fifty Percent (50%) of the membership interests of the Optionor (the "***Optionee's Membership Interests***").

**3.2 Exercise Price**. The exercise price of the Equity Option (the "***Exercise Price***") shall be the Optionee's conversion and termination of the Cash Distribution Right into the Optionee's Membership Interests. No additional consideration, cash or otherwise, shall be due and payable by the Optionee to the Optionor upon its exercise of the Equity Option.

**3.3 Consideration**. The Parties hereby agree that the Exercise Price shall be in all respects adequate and sufficient consideration for the exercise of the Equity Option and issuance of the Optionee's Membership Interests to the Optionee.

**3.4 Option Period**. The Optionee may exercise the Equity Option at any time during the period that begins on the Effective Date and ends on the Termination Date (as defined in Section 6.1 below) (the "***Option Period***").

**3.5 Exercise Procedure**. The Optionee may exercise the Equity Option during the Option Period for all, but not less than all, of the Optionee's Membership Interests by providing written notice of exercise (the "***Exercise Notice***") to the Optionor in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 12. The Exercise Notice shall be in a form mutually agreed to by the Parties and include any representations, warranties, covenants or documentation required by the Optionor to ensure compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.

**3.6 Closing**. The closing of the exercise of the Equity Option shall take place within thirty (30) days of the Optionor's receipt of the Exercise Notice, or at such other time as the Parties may mutually agree to in writing (the "***Closing***").

The A&R Operating Agreement shall include provisions customary for a multi-member limited liability company organized in the State of Ohio, including, without limitation, revised provisions related to governance, management, special approvals for material events, distributions, and transfer restrictions, and furthermore, any additional provisions required to clarify that the Optionee shall not be liable in any way for any costs, expenses or obligations associated with the Reckoning Permits or the Reclamation Bonds.

**3.7 No Obligation**. The Optionee has no obligation to exercise the Equity Option and therefore, may allow it to expire based on the terms herein, for any reason or no reason at all, including after the Final Reclamation Completion Date, and therefore the Optionor acknowledges and agrees that the Optionee shall have no obligation or liability in any way to the Optionor if the Optionee elects to not exercise the Equity Option.

(OTCQB: RNGE) ("Range Impact" or the "Company"), a public company dedicated to acquiring, reclaiming and repurposing distressed coal mine properties throughout Appalachia, announced the acquisition of the Premier Elkhorn mine complex ("Premier Elkhorn Mine Complex") and Cambrian Coal mine complex ("Cambrian Coal Mine Complex"), both located in eastern Kentucky, from Continental Land Co., LLC on December 31, 2025. On the same day, the Company sold all the common stock of Collins Building & Contracting, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary ("Collins Building"), completing the Company's exit from its abandoned mine land reclamation services business.

**Premier Elkhorn and Cambrian Coal Acquisitions**

The Company, through a newly created subsidiary, Range Bluegrass Land LLC ("Range Bluegrass"), acquired all of the real and personal property of the Premier Elkhorn Mine Complex and the Cambrian Coal Mine Complex in exchange for assuming the reclamation obligations of the mine permit holder, Reckoning Reclamation LLC.

The Premier Elkhorn Mine Complex is a former coal mine site comprised of approximately 13,000 surface acres and 42,500 mineral interest acres. The Premier Elkhorn Mine Complex contains metallurgical and thermal coal reserves with 34 mining permits and $44 million of reclamation bonds. The Premier Elkhorn Mine Complex also includes significant legacy investments in coal processing infrastructure, rail, roads, and utilities.

The Cambrian Coal Mine Complex is a former coal mine site comprised of approximately 2,600 surface acres and additional leasable acres of mineral interests. The Cambrian Coal Mine Complex contains metallurgical and thermal coal reserves with 9 mining permits and $10 million of reclamation bonds. The Cambrian Coal Mine Complex is located near the Premier Elkhorn Mine Complex and had previously used the Premier Elkhorn Mine Complex's coal infrastructure, rail, roads, and utilities when it was operating.

In connection with these land acquisitions, Range Bluegrass entered into an Option Agreement with MRR CNG, LLC ("MRR"), a landfill developer and operator, granting MRR the option to acquire approximately 1,500 acres of surface land at the Premier Elkhorn Mine Complex for the future development and operation of a new waste disposal facility. The option grant was effective as of December 31, 2025. MRR paid Range Bluegrass $500,000 at the time of the grant and would be required to pay the fair market value of the land upon exercise.

Range Bluegrass also entered into a Membership Interest Option and Cash Distribution Right Agreement with Wicks Building LLC ("Wicks Building"), an affiliate of MRR, pursuant to which Wicks Building is entitled to receive 50% of any cash distributions made by Range Bluegrass and is permitted to convert such right into the ownership of 50% of the membership interests of Range Bluegrass. This transaction closed on December 31, 2025 and Wicks Building paid Range Bluegrass $500,000 at closing.

The Company also entered into Consulting Agreements with MRR and F & G LLC ("F & G"), an affiliate of MRR, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to provide certain reclamation and bond release services to MRR and F & G in connection with the potential development of MRR's waste disposal facility at the Premier Elkhorn Mine Complex. The Company received an initial fee of $1.0 million upon execution of the agreements on December 31, 2025, and, unless the agreements are earlier terminated, is scheduled to receive additional fees of $2.0 million in each of 2026 and 2027.

"With the two large acquisitions announced today, the Company now owns four significant land investments - the Fola and Hobet Mine Complexes in West Virginia, and the Premier Elkhorn and Cambrian Coal Mine Complexes in Kentucky – representing ownership of approximately 30,000 acres of surface land and 150,000 acres of mineral interests," stated Michael Cavanaugh, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. Cavanaugh continued, "Range is clearly differentiating itself as a creative problem solver for the region's most difficult social, economic and environmental challenges caused by legacy coal mine sites and is in the process of assembling one of the largest and most unique portfolios of strategic land assets in Appalachia."

**Collins Building Sale**

On December 31, 2025, the Company sold all its common stock of Collins Building to Collins Reclamation LLC, an unaffiliated entity, in exchange for Collins Reclamation's assumption of two remaining abandoned mine land reclamation contracts in West Virginia.

Mr. Cavanaugh noted, "In its early days, Range Impact had focused primarily on generating revenue by providing reclamation and incidental mining and security services to third party mining companies, permit holders and private owners with abandoned mine land property. However, beginning in early 2025, our strategy evolved from a service-based business model to a land ownership business model designed to create shareholder value by unlocking the underlying value of land we own through our reclamation activities, and then creating multiple streams of long-term recurring revenue with a diverse group of third-party lessees focused on next-generation uses." Mr. Cavanaugh continued, "The Collins Building sale completes our exit from service-based reclamation work for third-party customers and allows our team to focus all of our attention, energy and capital on the reinvigoration and reimagination of former coal mine sites that we own in Appalachia."
