 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING 
  
 This Memorandum of Understanding, dated as of January 17, 2005 (the “MOU”), between Virginia Electric and Power Company, a Virginia corporation
(“VEPCO”), and Mettiki Coal, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Mettiki”). 
  
 Recitals 
  
 Mettiki and VEPCO are parties to a Coal Supply Agreement, dated January 15, 1996 (the “Coal Supply Agreement”), pursuant to which Mettiki has agreed to sell to VEPCO, and VEPCO has agreed to purchase, coal from Mettiki’s mine
located in Garrett County, Maryland (the “Mettiki Mine”) for use in VEPCO’s Mt. Storm Power Station, which is located in Grant County, West Virginia (the “Station”). The Coal Supply Agreement has a term beginning January 15,
1996 and continuing through December 31, 2006. 
  
 Mettiki and
VEPCO from time to time enter into spot sale and purchase agreements for the delivery of Mettiki coal to the VEPCO Station that is in addition to the parties purchase and sales obligations under the Coal Supply Agreement (“Spot
Agreement(s)”). Furthermore, Mettiki and VEPCO are currently in negotiations to enter into a letter of intent (“LOI”) outlining the key terms and conditions of a successor coal supply agreement pursuant to which Mettiki, or one or
more of its affiliates, (collectively “Mettiki”) is proposing to sell to VEPCO coal from existing and/or new mining operations to be developed in Western Maryland and/or West Virginia with a proposed term beginning on January 1, 2007 (the
“Successor Agreement”). 
  
 Mount Storm Coal Supply, LLC
(“Mount Storm Supply”) and its affiliate, PC West Virginia Synthetic Fuel #2, LLC (“Pace”), have entered into various transactions with VEPCO whereby Pace shall produce synthetic fuel that qualifies for Section 29 tax credits
that is derived from coal (“Synfuel”) at Pace’s synthetic fuel facility (the “Synfuel Facility”), which Synfuel Facility shall be operated and maintained by PACE adjacent to or near VEPCO’s Station. 
  
 VEPCO and Mettiki desire to agree upon certain terms and conditions to enable
Mount Storm Supply to purchase coal produced by Mettiki, which in turn shall be sold by Mount Storm Supply to Pace to produce Synfuel at Pace’s Synfuel Facility which shall then be purchased by VEPCO under synfuel supply agreements
(“Synfuel Supply Agreement(s)”) between Pace and VEPCO. The Synfuel purchased by VEPCO from Pace under the Synfuel Supply Agreements which is produced from coal supplied by Mettiki shall be in lieu of all or a part of the coal that is
required to be purchased by VEPCO from Mettiki under the respective Coal Supply Agreement, Spot Agreement and/or the Successor Agreement.

 the “Interim Feedstock Agreement(s)”). The purchase price for
the coal sold to Mount Storm Supply under
 the Interim Feedstock Agreements shall be equal to the price for each ton of coal payable from time to
time
 under the corresponding Coal Supply Agreement or Spot Agreements between Mettiki and VEPCO plus
 $[REDACTED] per ton. The delivery of coal under the Interim Feedstock Agreements shall commence on
 or before January 17, 2005, and the term of the Interim Feedstock Agreements shall continue until the first
 day of the
calendar month following the date that Mettiki and VEPCO execute the LOI.

		
	  
  
  
  
  
  
 *
	  	 2. Upon the execution of the LOI by Mettiki and VEPCO, Mettiki shall enter into a coal supply agreement
 with Mount Storm Supply containing mutually acceptable terms and conditions for the sale and purchase of
 Mettiki coal to Mount Storm Supply that will correspond with the delivery obligations arising under the
 Coal Supply

 AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE AGREEMENT FOR  
 THE SUPPLY OF COAL TO MT. STORM POWER STATION BETWEEN  
 VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY AND
 
 METTIKI COAL CORPORATION 
  
 THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 (the “Amendment”) is entered into this 17th day of January, 2005, by and between VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY, a Virginia public
service corporation with its principal office located in Richmond, Virginia (“Buyer”) and METTIKI COAL LLC, a Delaware limited liability company with its principal office located in Tulsa, Oklahoma (“Seller”). 
  
 WHEREAS, Buyer and Seller entered into an agreement entitled “Agreement for the
Supply of Coal to Mt. Storm Power Station Between Virginia Electric and Power Company and Mettiki Coal Corporation” dated January 15, 1996, (the “Agreement”); and 
  
 WHEREAS, Buyer and Seller desire to amend the Agreement to clarify changes to the arrangement between the parties that will result
from the construction and operation of synfuel processing facilities at Buyer’s Mount Storm Power Station located in Grant County, West Virginia. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and of the mutual covenants and agreements herein set forth, Buyer and Seller hereby agree as follows:

  

	1.	Sale, Purchase, Quantity and Scheduling 

  
 Section 3.1 is amended to add a new subsection (h) as follows: 
  

(h) From time to time, Buyer may request Seller to enter into new spot and/or long term agreements to sell coal to a third party designated by Buyer
who intends to process, deliver, sell and/or resell to Buyer the coal which Seller is authorized to sell and deliver to Buyer under this Agreement (a “Third Party Seller”). Any such agreement with a Third Party Seller shall have
substantially the same terms and conditions as provided in this Agreement with respect to the quality specifications, adjustments for quality variations, quality suspension rights and other terms and conditions as mutually agreed to between Seller
and a Third Party Seller (a “Third Party Agreement”). If Seller does enter into a Third Party Agreement, Buyer and Seller acknowledge that any coal sold under such Third Party Agreement will automatically reduce the quantity of coal
required to be purchased by Buyer and/or supplied by Seller pursuant to this Agreement. If the Third Party Agreement requires that the Third Party Seller pay any additional amounts to Seller, including any purchase price premiums that are in excess
of the coal purchase price paid by 

 Confidential Treatment Requested 
  

			
	 	  	 Buyer hereunder, then Seller shall pay Buyer an amount equal to such purchase price premiums for coal that is
 delivered by Seller to the Station but not ultimately processed into synfuel,. Upon any cancellation or termination
 of any Third Party Agreement, at Buyer’s sole option, the Third Party Seller’s rights, title, and interests in and to
 the Third Party Agreement (including any coal shortfall make-up rights) shall be transferred to Buyer. If any Third
 Party Agreement is suspended or terminated or breached for any reason, there shall be no basis to claim non-performance
 or breach or exercise a right of offset, counterclaim or cancellation of, against or under this Agreement. If any Third
 Party Agreement is terminated and/or suspended for any reason, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect
 with the remaining obligations for the sale and purchase of quantities of coal to be the quantities set forth in this
 Agreement, reduced by the amount of coal delivered under any Third Party Agreement, if any, during each such
 applicable calendar month.

 sources other than from Seller’s Mine, and such use will not impact Seller’s utilization of the Facility or Buyer’s
 and Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, Buyer and Seller shall then mutually agree to acceptable procedures
 for the throughput of third party coal through the Facility. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, any coal
 delivered to the Facility from a source other than Seller’s Mine will be ratably delivered during Seller’s normal
 scheduled operating hours of the Facility. Seller shall have the right to suspend or reject deliveries of coal from
 sources other then from Seller’s Mine if they are not in compliance with the legal load limits as then currently enforced
 in the State of West Virginia including any permitted variances and tolerances, and/or if the equipment is not compatible
 with design and safe operation of the Facility as existing or modified to accommodate the delivery of third party coal.
 Buyer will provide to Seller a detailed tabulation of the certified weights for each truck load of coal delivered to the
 Facility from a source other than the Seller’s Mine. Buyer shall pay Seller $[REDACTED] for each ton of third party
 coal throughput through the Facility that is delivered during Seller’s scheduled operating hours of the Facility. If
 requested by Buyer, Seller shall exert reasonable efforts to extend the normal scheduled operating hours of the Facility
 to accommodate the deliver of third party coal and in such event Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all costs incurred by
 Seller in operating the Facility during such period of time. In the event Buyer requests modifications to the Facility to
 accommodate deliveries of third party coal, including but not limited to modifications to allow delivery of triaxle and
 tractor/trailer combinations, Seller shall exert all reasonable efforts to comply with Buyer’s request and any such
 modifications to the Facility shall be at Buyer’s sole cost and expense and Buyer will reimburse Seller for such costs
 upon completion of the modifications.”
