**Section 7.5. No Interference by Seller.** Subject to the provisions of the terms and conditions of the Special Warranty Deeds, the Buckhorn Partial Assignment, Coal Mountain Partial Assignment, and the MCSA Partial Assignment, in each case, so long as the same is in effect, after the Closing, Sellers shall not, and shall not cause or allow any of their respective Affiliates or any successors or assigns of Sellers or their respective Affiliates to, interfere with (i) the ownership, occupation, use or enjoyment of any of the Purchased Assets by Buyer, its Affiliates or any of its or their successors or assigns or (ii) any mining rights, mining operations or other activities (including, without limitation, coal processing, loading or shipping activities) on, under or within any of the Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property.

**Article VIII.** **Tax Matters.**

**Section 8.1.** **Proration of Real Property Taxes.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) All real property taxes, personal property taxes, or ad valorem obligations and similar recurring taxes
and fees on the Purchased Assets (including, without limitation, taxes or tax reimbursements owed under any of the Leases) for taxable
periods beginning before, and ending after, the Closing Date shall be prorated between Buyer and Sellers on a calendar-year basis as of
the Closing Date. Sellers shall be responsible for all such taxes and fees on the Purchased Assets accruing during any period up to and
including the Closing Date. Buyer shall be responsible for all such taxes and fees on the Purchased Assets accruing during any period
after the Closing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If the amount of such taxes and fees for the period in which the Closing occurs has not been determined,
then the taxes and fees for the preceding period, on the basis of no applicable discount, shall be used to calculate such taxes and fees.
If any Party shall pay such taxes or fees for which it is entitled to be reimbursed because of such proration, the other Party responsible
therefor shall promptly reimburse the Party so paying upon notice of the amount paid together with supporting documentation thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) With respect to Taxes described in this Section 8.1, Sellers shall timely file all Tax Returns due before
the Closing Date with respect to such Taxes, and Buyer shall prepare and timely file all Tax Returns due after the Closing Date with respect
to such Taxes. If one Party remits to the appropriate Governmental Authority payment for Taxes which are subject to proration under this
Section 8.1 and such payment includes the other Party's share of such Taxes, such other Party shall promptly reimburse the remitting
Party for its share of such Taxes.

**Section 8.2. Transfer Taxes and Recording Fees.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Transfer Taxes</u>. Sellers and Buyer shall each be responsible for, and shall pay at or in conjunction
with the Closing, one-half (1/2) of all transfer, sales, use, registration, documentary, stamp, value added and other such Taxes (including
any penalties and interest) in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Sellers or Buyer, as applicable, shall,
at its or their own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes required to be borne by such Party
(and the other Party shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Recording Fees</u>. Buyer shall be responsible for, and shall pay at or in conjunction with the Closing,
all recording fees associated with the recordation of any of the Transaction Documents; *provided, however,* Seller shall be solely
responsible for, and shall pay in conjunction with this Agreement, all recording fees associated with the CONSOL Corrective Deeds, as
applicable.

**Section 8.3.** **Cooperation; Audits.** In connection with the preparation of Tax Returns, audits, examinations, and any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Tax Liabilities imposed on either Seller or Buyer, Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, will cooperate fully with each other, including the furnishing or making available during normal business hours of non-privileged records, personnel (as reasonably required), books of account, powers of attorney or other materials necessary or helpful for the preparation of such Tax Returns, the conduct of audit examinations or the defense of claims by Taxing Authorities as to the imposition of Taxes. Seller will, within 10 Business Days of Buyer's request therefor, deliver any information required to be reported by Buyer or either Seller pursuant to section 6043A of the Code, if applicable.

**Section 9.4. Frustration of Conditions Precedent.** Neither Buyer nor either Seller may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in Section 9.1, Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, as the case may be, to be satisfied if such failure results in whole or in part from such Party's own failure to comply with its obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as required by the provisions hereof.

**Article X.** **TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT**

**Section 10.1. Right to Terminate.** Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) by either Buyer or Sellers if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the tenth (10) Business
Day following the Target Closing Date (the "**Termination Date** "); *provided, however*, that the right to terminate
this Agreement under this Section 10.1(a) shall not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement
shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) by the mutual written consent of Buyer and Sellers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) by Buyer or Sellers, if a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction has issued an Order, or adopted
any Law, in each case, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) by Buyer or Sellers, as the case may be, if the other Party has breached or failed to perform any of its
(i) representations or warranties contained herein(unless the aggregate failure of such representations and warranties does not have a
Material Adverse Effect), or (ii) covenants or agreements contained herein, which breach or failure to perform in the cause of either
of the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) cannot be or has not been cured by the earlier to occur of (x) the Termination Date or (y) ten (10)
days after the giving of notice specifying the breach or failure to perform; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) by Buyer if there has been an event, change, occurrence or circumstance since the Effective Date that
has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (other than a Material Adverse Effect solely of the type and
nature described in clause (e) of the definition thereof).

**Section 10.2. Termination Procedure.** Any Party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Article X shall give written notice of such termination to the other Party.

**Section 10.3. Effect of Termination.** Each Party's right of termination under Section 10.1 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of a right of termination will not be an election of remedies. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article X, this Agreement will terminate and become void and of no further force and effect and there will be no further Liability on the part of any Party hereto, except that the provisions of Section 10.1, Section 10.2, this Section 10.3, and Article XII will survive any termination of this Agreement. Nothing in this Article X will relieve any Party of Liability for any willful or material breach of this Agreement.

**Article XI.** **Indemnification.**

**Section 11.1.** **Survival.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The representations and warranties of Sellers and the Buyer contained in this Agreement shall survive
the Closing for the applicable periods set forth in this Section 11.1. Any and all claims and causes of action for indemnification under
this Article XI arising out of the inaccuracy of breach of any representation or warranty of Sellers or Buyer must be made prior to the
termination of the applicable survival period (if any). In the event that notice of any claim or cause of action for indemnification shall
have been given in accordance with this Article XI within the applicable survival period (if any), the representations, warranties, covenants
and undertakings that are the subject of such claim or cause of action shall survive until such time as such claim or cause of action
is finally resolved.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The representations and warranties of Sellers and Buyer contained in this Agreement and any and all claims
and causes of action for indemnification under this Article XI with respect thereto shall terminate on the second (2<sup>nd</sup>) anniversary
of the Closing Date; *provided, however*, that (i) the Fundamental Representations shall survive indefinitely, and (ii) claims for
fraud shall survive for three (3) years from the later of the Effective Date and the date the fraud could have been reasonably discovered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) All covenants and undertakings required to be performed after the Closing shall survive until fully performed
or fulfilled. The rights of any indemnified Party under any other indemnification obligations pursuant to this Article XI shall have no
expiration date.

**Section 11.2.** **Indemnification by Sellers.** Subject to provisions of Section 11.6, Sellers shall, jointly and severally, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, managers, employees and agents (each a "**Buyer Indemnitee**") from and against any and all Losses, actually suffered or incurred by them arising out of or resulting from:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the breach of any representation or warranty made by either Seller under Article IV of this Agreement
or in any of the other Transaction Documents (a "**Seller Warranty Breach** ");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the breach of any covenant or agreement by either Seller contained in this Agreement or any of the other
Transaction Documents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) any breach or violation by either Seller or any of their Affiliates under the MCSA (whether before or
after the Closing) or the MCSA Partial Assignment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) any breach or violation by either Seller or any of their Affiliates under the Buckhorn Lease or Coal Mountain
Lease (whether before or after the Closing) or the Buckhorn Partial Assignment or Coal Mountain Partial Assignments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) any breach or violation by either Seller or any of their Affiliates under the CONSOL 2016 Purchase Agreement
or any other agreements, instruments, or documents executed or delivered in connection therewith (whether before or after the Closing),
except to the extent that Buyer expressly assumes the Liability for any such Losses under the Transaction Documents; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) any other Excluded Liability.

**Section 11.3.** **Indemnification by Buyer.** Subject to Section 11.6, Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Sellers, their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each a "**Seller Indemnitee**") from and against any and all Losses actually suffered or incurred by Sellers arising out of or resulting from:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Buyer under Article IV of this Agreement or in
any of the other Transaction Documents ()"**Buyer Warranty Breach** ");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any breach of any obligation of Buyer contained in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) any breach or violation by Buyer or any of its Affiliates under the MCSA (after the Closing) or the MCSA
Partial Assignment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) any breach or violation by Buyer or any of its Affiliates under either the Buckhorn Lease or Coal Mountain
Lease (after the Closing) or the Buckhorn Lease Partial Assignment or Coal Mountain Lease Partial Assignment; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) any Assumed Liability.

**Section 11.4.** **Representation, Settlement and Cooperation.** If any investigation, action or other Proceeding is initiated against either Seller Indemnitee or Buyer Indemnitee (each, an "**Indemnitee**") and the Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification from either Seller or Buyer (each an "**Indemnitor**"), as applicable, under this Article XI on account of such Indemnitee's involvement in the Proceeding, then the Indemnitee shall give prompt notice to the applicable Indemnitor or Indemnitors; *provided, however*, that the failure to so notify any Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under this Article XI or reduce the obligations of such Indemnitor. Upon receipt of notice of a Proceeding for which indemnification is available under this Article XI, each Indemnitor shall diligently defend against the Proceeding on behalf of the Indemnitee, at such Indemnitor's own expense, using counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such Proceeding, however the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnitee unless: (i) the Indemnitor(s) shall have given prior written consent to the employment of such counsel, (ii) the Indemnitor(s) shall have failed or refused to conduct the defense, or (iii) the Indemnitee has been reasonably advised by counsel that it may have defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnitor(s) that its interests in the Proceeding are adverse to the interests of the Indemnitor(s). In the event of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, the Indemnitee may defend against the Proceeding at the Indemnitor's expense. The Indemnitor(s) or Indemnitee, as applicable, may participate in any Proceeding being defended against by the other at its own expense and shall not settle any Proceeding without the prior consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless (1) there is no finding or admission of any violation of any Law or Order of any Government Authority or of any violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnitee and no effect on any other Proceedings that may be made against the Indemnitee, and (2) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnitor(s). The Indemnitor(s) and Indemnitee shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of any Proceeding.

**Section 11.5.** **Notice and Satisfaction of Indemnification Claims.** No indemnification claim shall be deemed to have been asserted until the applicable Indemnitor has been given notice by the Indemnitee of the amount of the claim and the facts on which the claim is based (including evidence supporting the amount of the claim). For purposes of this Article XI, notice of an indemnification claim shall be deemed to cover claims arising out of or in connection with all related Proceedings so long as, in the case of Proceedings instituted by third parties, the Indemnitee complies with Section 11.4.

**Section 11.6.** **Limits on Indemnification.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) No Indemnitee shall be entitled to seek indemnification under this Article XI for any individual event
or circumstance unless and until the amount of Losses resulting from such event or circumstance exceeds $10,000.00 (the "**De Minimis Amount** "), in which case all such amount shall be deemed a Loss hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Sellers shall not have any indemnification obligations under Section 11.2(a) unless and until the claims
asserted against any or all Sellers exceed $150,000.00 in the aggregate (the "**Basket Amount** "), in which case the applicable
Indemnitee shall be entitled to seek indemnification for all Losses in excess of the Basket Amount. Buyer shall not have any indemnification
obligations under Section 11.3(a) unless and until the claims asserted against Buyer exceed the Basket Amount, in which case the applicable
Indemnitee shall be entitled to seek indemnification for all Losses in excess of the Basket Amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from Sellers arising out of or resulting
from the causes set forth in any provision of this Agreement, shall be limited to the sum of $2,000,000.00 (the "**Cap** ").
The maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from Buyer arising out of or resulting from the causes set forth in
any provision of this Agreement, shall be limited to the Cap.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Notwithstanding (a), (b) and (c) above, none of the De Minimis Amount, the Basket Amount nor the Cap shall
apply with respect to any Losses resulting from breaches of any of the Fundamental Representations; *provided, however*, that Sellers
shall not be liable for indemnification obligations in excess of the Purchase Price with respect to any Losses arising of or resulting
from any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Sellers contained in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (i) no Party shall be liable for
any indirect, special, incidental, exemplary, punitive or consequential Losses or for any lost profits of any other Party; (ii) no Indemnitor
shall be required to defend any Indemnitee in any investigation, action or other Proceeding instituted against such Indemnity unless such
Proceeding arises from claims from a Governmental Authority or any other third party which is not an Affiliate of the Indemnitee; and
(iii) with respect to contingent or unquantifiable Losses, no payment will be due by any indemnifying Party unless and until the relevant
Losses cease to be contingent or may be quantified.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) No Party shall have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for any increased Losses caused
by or resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the other Party. Each Party shall take and shall cause to be taken
all steps reasonably necessary to mitigate all such Losses promptly after becoming aware of any event that could reasonably be expected
to give rise to such Losses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The computation of the Losses pursuant to this Article XI shall be made after deducting therefrom any
indemnity, contribution or other similar payment recovered by the indemnified Party from any third party with respect thereto, less any
cost actually incurred by the indemnified Party in the collection of any such proceeds, indemnity, contribution or other similar payment.

**Section 11.7.** **Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments.** Any indemnification payments pursuant to this Article XI shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the Parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

**Section 11.8.** **Exclusive Remedies.** Excluding Section 6.2, Section 7.1, Section 7.4 and any Seller Warranty Breach relating to any special warranty of title to the Purchased Assets, and subject to Sections 12.7 and 12.8, the Parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all Losses (other than Losses arising from fraud in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article XI. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Laws, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other Parties and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, other than claims with respect to fraud, claims for equitable relief, and the right to obtain indemnification pursuant to this Article XI. Nothing in this Section 11.8 shall limit any Person's right to seek and obtain any equitable relief or other remedy with respect to any breach of Sections 6.2, Section 7.1 or Section 7.4, with respect to any Seller Warranty Breach relating to any special warranty of title to the Purchased Assets or on account of any fraud.

**Article XII.** **Miscellaneous.**

**Section 12.1. Expenses**. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein (including in Article VIII (Tax Matters)), all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated herein and therein shall be paid by the Party incurring such costs and expenses.

**Section 12.2. Notices.** All notices, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally-recognized overnight courier (receipt requested), (c) on the next Business Date following the date sent by email of a PDF document (with confirmation of transmission), or (d) on the third Business Day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Such communications must be sent to the respective Parties at the following applicable address (with copies of the same sent to the following applicable addresses) or at such other addresses for a Party (or such Party's outside or in-house counsel) as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 12.2:

**_________________________________**

**Section 12.3.** **Construction.** This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring the construction or interpretation against the Party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted.

**Section 12.4.** **Headings.** The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

**Section 12.5.** **Disclosure Schedules.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Unless otherwise defined therein, all capitalized terms used in the Disclosure Schedules will have the
meanings ascribed to them herein, and all section references in the schedules refer to the corresponding section hereof. The attachments
to the Disclosure Schedules form an integral part thereof and are incorporated by reference for all purposes as if set forth fully therein.
The headings contained in the Disclosure Schedules are for convenience of reference purposes only and will not affect in any way the meaning
or interpretation of this Agreement or the Disclosure Schedules. No reference to or disclosure of any item or other matter in the Disclosure
Schedules will be construed as an admission or indication that such item or other matter is material or that such item or other matter
is required to be referred to or disclosed in the Disclosure Schedules. Any information contained in any particular Disclosure Schedule
will be deemed to be contained in another Disclosure Schedule if (i) it is expressly included in such other Disclosure Schedule (by cross
reference or specific reference) or (ii) it would be reasonably apparent to an informed and sophisticated purchaser in the industry from
the reading of the disclosure that such disclosure is applicable to any other applicable Disclosure Schedule.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) As of the Effective Date, with the exception of <u>Schedules 2.1(a)</u>, <u>2.1(b)</u>, <u>2.1(c),</u> and <u>2.1(d)</u>, Sellers have not provided their Disclosure Schedules to Buyer as contemplated under this Agreement. Sellers shall submit
their proposed Disclosure Schedules within eight (8) Business Days after the Effective Date. Sellers may submit individual sections of
the Disclosure Schedules at any time within the foregoing time period. Buyer shall have eight (8) Business Days after submission of all
Disclosure Schedules to review and approve or object to such individual sections. Buyer will not object to any non-material inclusions
on the Disclosure Schedules. Any Disclosure Schedule, or section thereof, not objected to in writing by Buyer within seven (7) Business
Days after all Disclosure Schedules have been submitted by Sellers shall be deemed to be approved. If Buyer objects, the Parties agree
to meet within two (2) Business Days to review and negotiate in good faith a mutually acceptable solution. In the event the Parties are
unable to negotiate a resolution, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, on or before the Closing Date, Buyer reasonably
determines that the Disclosure Schedule matter(s) in dispute have an aggregate value in excess of the Basket Amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In the event that, during the period between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, any matter or event
beyond the control of Sellers or their respective Affiliates arises or occurs which would require Sellers to update any of the Disclosure
Schedules in order to cause any of the representations, warranties or covenants of Sellers in this Agreement to be true and correct so
as to avoid a potential breach thereof, Sellers may and shall have the right from time to time prior to the Closing Date to request that
Buyer consent to Sellers amending and supplementing such Disclosure Schedules, in writing (including electronic communication) given to
Buyer or its legal counsel, for the purpose of the disclosure of such new or updated information required to be so disclosed in order
to avoid such potential breach. If Buyer consents to Sellers so amending or supplementing any such Disclosure Schedules, the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sellers' representations and warranties in Article IV hereof, shall
be deemed to include such amended and supplemented disclosures made pursuant to this Section 12.5(b) as of the Effective Date and thereafter,
including the Closing Date, and as a result thereof, (i) any such update to such Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to cure and correct
any breach of any representation or warranty that would have existed if Sellers would not have made such update to such Disclosure Schedules,
and (ii) any claim for indemnification by a Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to Article XI of this Agreement shall not be applicable with respect
to the matters reflected in such Disclosure Schedule as so updated. In the event that Buyer objects to Sellers so amending or supplementing
the Disclosure Schedules, Sellers shall not have the right to do so, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, Sellers' representations and warranties in Article IV hereof, shall be deemed to not include any such amended or supplemented
disclosures requested by Sellers to be made pursuant to this Section 12.5(b); *provided, however*, Sellers shall have the right to
deem that the conditions set forth in Section 9.3 have not been met and to terminate this Agreement, on or before the Closing Date, if
Sellers reasonably determine that the inability of Sellers to amend or supplement such Disclosure Schedules for the purpose of disclosing
any such new or updated information would subject Sellers to potential indemnification obligations under this Agreement in excess of the
Basket Amount; *provided, further*, in any event, Buyer shall have the right to deem that the conditions set forth in Section 9.2
have not been met and terminate this Agreement, on or before the Closing Date, if Buyer reasonably determines that the new or updated
information proposed to be disclosed by Sellers causes a condition in Section 9.2 to not be satisfied.

**Section 12.6.** **Successors and Assigns; Assignment.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) This
 Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective
 successors and permitted assigns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Except
 as otherwise expressly provided herein, no Party may assign any of its rights or obligations
 hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be
 unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any purported assignment in violation of this
 Section shall be null and void. Unless otherwise agreed by the other Party in writing, no
 assignment of this Agreement shall relieve or release the assigning Party of any of its obligations
 hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Notwithstanding
 the foregoing, at any time prior to the Closing, Buyer may, without the consent of Sellers
 partially assign any of its rights to purchase or acquire any of the Purchased Assets hereunder
 to one or more Affiliates of Buyer, including, without limitation, newly-formed Affiliates
 of Buyer established for such purpose, so long as each such assignee Affiliate of Buyer executes
 and delivers to Sellers a legally-binding joinder to this Agreement whereby such Affiliate
 agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. For the sake of clarity,
 no such assignment shall relieve or release Buyer of any of its obligations hereunder unless
 otherwise agreed by Sellers in writing.

**Section 12.7.** **Parties in Interest.** This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party, and its or their permitted successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

**Section 12.8.** **Legal Recourse.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) This Agreement may be enforced against, and any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based upon,
arising out of or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may be brought against the
entities that are expressly named as Parties, each of their respective Specified Affiliates, and their successors and permitted assigns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Party, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, represents, warrants and agrees that (i) it has been
granted the proper authority, as an agent of each of its Affiliates, to bind each of its Affiliates to the terms and conditions of this
Section 12.8 and (ii) the provisions of this Section 12.8 are binding upon and constitute legal obligations of such Party and each of
its Specified Affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no natural person who is a past, present or
future director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, partner, stockholder, agent, attorney or other Representative of any
Party or of any of its Affiliates, or any of their successors or permitted assigns, shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities
of any Party under this Agreement or for any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based on, in respect of or by reason of the
transactions contemplated hereby.

**Section 12.9.** **Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Except
 as otherwise expressly set forth below, all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement
 shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of West
 Virginia, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws principles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding
 the foregoing, any dispute, controversy, legal suit or action, or other matter relating solely
 to any of the Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property located exclusively in Virginia,
 shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth
 of Virginia to the extent required by the conflicts of laws principles of the State of West
 Virginia.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Any
 legal suit, action, proceeding or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the
 other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be instituted
 in the federal courts of the United States of America or the courts of the State of West
 Virginia, in each case, which are located in Kanawha County, West Virginia, and each Party
 irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action,
 proceeding or dispute and irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it
 may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the
 laying of venue of any such suit, action, proceeding or dispute in such courts. Each of the
 Parties hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of
 an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such suit, action, proceeding or dispute in any
 such court.

**Section 12.10.** **Severability.** If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement.

**Section 12.11.** **Entire Agreement.** This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the sole and entire agreement and understanding of the Parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein and supersede all prior and contemporaneous representations, warranties, understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. Except as may otherwise me expressly provided in any of the other Transaction Documents, in the event of any inconsistency between the provisions and statements in the body of this Agreement and those in the other Transaction Documents, the Exhibits or the Disclosure Schedules, the provisions and statements in the body of this Agreement will control.

**Section 12.12.** **Amendment and Modification; Waiver.** This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each Party referencing this Agreement and the Parties' intent to amend, modify or supplement the same. No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party so waiving the same. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right or remedy arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

**Section 12.13.** **Counterparts.** This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, email or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement and shall constitute an original counterpart of this Agreement for all purposes.
