 FORM OF CONSOL ENERGY INC. 
  
 NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 
  

1. Nonqualified Stock Option. The Option granted is intended to be a Non-Qualified Stock Option and not an Incentive Stock Option under section
422 of the Internal Revenue Code. 
  
 2. Vesting. Subject
to Section 4 hereof, one-fourth of the Option shall become exercisable as of the first anniversary of the Date of Option Grant (“Grant Date”) and an additional one-fourth of the Option shall become exercisable on each of the second, third
and fourth anniversaries Grant Date. At any time, the Vested Portion of the Option means that portion which (i) shall have become exercisable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and (ii) shall not have been previously exercised. 
  
 3. Exercise of Option. 
  
 (a) Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement
(including Section 4 hereof), the Optionee may exercise all or any part of the Vested Portion of the Option at any time prior to the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date (the Expiration Date ); provided that the Option may be exercised with respect
to whole Shares only. In no event shall the Option be exercisable on or after the Expiration Date. 
  
 (b) To the extent set forth in subparagraph (a) above, the Option may be exercised by delivering to the Company at its principal office,
or to such other location designated by the Company, written notice of intent to exercise. Such notice shall specify the number of Shares for which the Option is being exercised and shall be accompanied by payment in full, or adequate
provision therefor, of the Exercise Price, and any applicable withholding tax and fees. The payment of the Exercise Price shall be made (i) in cash or (ii) by certified check or bank draft payable to the order of the Company or (iii)
by personal check payable to the order of the Company or (iv) by tendering Shares, actually or constructively, which have been owned by the Optionee for at least six months (and which are not subject to any pledge or other security
interest) or (v) by a combination of the foregoing, provided that the combined value of all cash and cash equivalents and the Fair Market Value of any such Shares so tendered to the Company as of the date of such tender is at least equal to
the Exercise Price. The Optionee may elect to pay all or any portion of the Exercise Price by having Shares with a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the Exercise Price withheld by the Company or sold by a broker-dealer. The
Optionee may elect to sell all Shares to cover Option costs, taxes, and fees. Remaining funds will be issued to Optionee. The payment of withholding tax shall be subject to Section 8 of this Agreement. 
  

 (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, no
Option may be exercised prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of such Option or the Shares under applicable state and federal securities or other laws, or under any ruling or regulation of any government body or national
securities exchange, that the Board shall in its sole discretion determine to be necessary or advisable. 
  
 (d) Upon the Company’s determination that the Option has been validly exercised as to any of the Shares, the Company shall issue or
cause to be issued as promptly as practicable certificates in the Optionee’s name for such Shares. However, the Company shall not be liable to the Optionee for damages relating to any delays in issuing the certificates or in the certificates
themselves. 
  
 4. Termination of Employment. 

 
 (a) In the event that the Optionee’s employment with
the Company is terminated by the Company for Cause (or in the event that the Optionee breaches any of the covenants set forth in Sections 9 and 10 below), the Option (whether vested or unvested) shall be deemed canceled and forfeited in its entirety
on the date of the Optionee’s termination of employment or breach of covenant, as applicable. In addition, any Option exercised during the six month period prior to such termination of employment or breach of covenant, as applicable, shall be
rescinded. Within 10 days after receiving notice of a rescission, the Optionee shall pay to the Company an amount in cash equal to the gain realized by the Optionee upon exercise of the Option. Such notice may be given at any time within one year
from the date of such exercise. 
  
 (b) In the
event that the Optionee’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Optionee voluntarily or by the Company without Cause, the unvested portion of the Option shall be deemed canceled and forfeited on the date of Optionee’s
termination of employment and the Vested Portion, if any, of the Option as of the date of such termination shall remain exercisable for a period of 90 days following such termination of employment, and shall thereafter be deemed canceled and
forfeited. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 4 (b) concerning an employment termination by the Company without Cause, in the event that the Optionee’s employment with the Company is terminated by reason of a reduction in force, the unvested portion of the Option shall vest in
its entirety in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement and shall remain exercisable until the Expiration Date. In the event of such an employment termination by reason of a reduction in force, the provisions of Section 9 (a)(i) and (a)(ii)
shall not apply. 
  
 (d) (i) In the event that
the Optionee’s employment with the Company is terminated by reason of an Early or Incapacity Retirement, as defined herein, the Non-Vested Portion of the Option shall vest and become exercisable in its entirety in accordance with Section 2
of this Agreement and shall remain exercisable until the Expiration Date. An Early or Incapacity Retirement, for purposes of this Agreement and this Section, shall only include those Early or Incapacity Retirements which take effect on or after the
date 

  

 
the Optionee has reached the age of 55 and shall not include any Separation Retirement, unless otherwise provided by the Board at the time of such
termination, regardless of whether or not the Optionee reaches the age of 55, and shall not include any Normal Retirement. In the event that the Optionee’s employment is terminated by reason of any Early or Incapacity Retirement that does not
satisfy the definitions of an Early or Incapacity Retirement as set forth herein, the Non-Vested Portion of the Option shall be deemed cancelled and forfeited on the effective date of the Optionee’s retirement and the Vested Portion, if any, of
the Option as of the effective date of such an Early or Incapacity Retirement shall remain exercisable for a period of 90 days following the effective date of such Retirement, and thereafter be deemed cancelled and forfeited. 
  
 (ii) In the event that the Optionee’s employment
with the Company is terminated by reason of death, the Non-Vested Portion of the Option shall vest in its entirety immediately upon the date of the Optionee’s death, shall become a Vested Portion of the Option and shall remain exercisable for
the lesser of a period of three years following death or until the Expiration Date, and shall thereafter be deemed cancelled and forfeited. 
  
 (iii) In the event that Optionee’s employment with the Company is terminated by reason of a Normal Retirement, the Non-Vested
Portion of the Option shall vest in its entirety on the effective date of the Optionee’s retirement and shall become a Vested Portion of the Option and shall remain exercisable until the Expiration Date, and shall thereafter be deemed cancelled
and forfeited. 
  
 5. Change in Control. Upon a Change
in Control of the Company, the unvested portion of the Option shall vest and remain exercisable for the lesser of a one year period or until the Expiration Date. In the event that any benefits under this Agreement, either alone or together with any
other payments or benefits otherwise owed to the Optionee by the Company on or after a Change in Control would, in the Company’s good faith opinion, be deemed under Section 280G of the Code, or any successor provision, to be parachute payments,
the benefits under this Agreement shall be reduced to the extent necessary in the Company’s good faith opinion so that no portion of the benefits provided herein shall be considered excess parachute payments under Section 280G of the Code or
any successor provision. The Company’s good faith opinion shall be conclusive and binding upon the Optionee. 
  
 6. No Right to Continued Employment: No Rights as a Shareholder. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall confer on the Optionee any right to
continued employment with the Company. The Optionee shall not have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares subject to the Option prior to the date of exercise of the Option. 
  
 7. Transferability. The Option is nontransferable and may not be
assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Optionee, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. No transfer of the Option shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Company shall
have been furnished with written notice thereof and a 

  

 
copy of such evidence as the Board may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance by the transferee of the terms and
conditions hereof. 
  
 8. Withholding. The Optionee agrees
to make appropriate arrangements with the Company for satisfaction of any applicable federal, state, local or foreign tax withholding requirements or like requirements, including the payment to the Company at the time of any exercise of the Option
of all such taxes and requirements, and the Company shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold from the Shares transferable to the Optionee upon any exercise of the Option or from any other compensation or other amount owing to the
Optionee such amount (in cash, Shares or other property, as the case may be) as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all such taxes and requirements. 
  
 9. Non-Competition. 
  
 (a) The Optionee acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the business of the Company and its Affiliates and
accordingly agrees that during the term of the Optionee’s employment and for a period of two years after the termination thereof: 
  
 (i) The Optionee will not directly or indirectly engage in any business which is in competition with any line of business conducted by the
Company or any of its Affiliates, including, but not limited to, where such engagement is as an officer, director, proprietor, employee, partner, investor (other than as a holder of less than 1% of the outstanding capital stock of a publicly traded
corporation), consultant, advisor, agent or sales representative, in any geographic region in which the Company or any of its Affiliates conducted any such competing line of business; 
  
 (ii) The Optionee will not perform or solicit the performance of services for any customer or client of the
Company or any of its Affiliates; 
  
 (iii) The
Optionee will not directly or indirectly induce any employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates to (1) engage in any activity or conduct which is prohibited pursuant to this Section 9(a), or (2) terminate such employee’s employment with
the Company or any of its Affiliates. Moreover, the Optionee will not directly or indirectly employ or offer employment (in connection with any business which is in competition with any line of business conducted by the Company or any of its
Affiliates) to any person who was employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates unless such person shall have ceased to be employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates for a period of at least 12 months; and 
  
 (iv) The Optionee will not directly or indirectly assist
others in engaging in any of the activities, which are prohibited under Subparagraphs (i) - (iii) above. 
  
 (b) It is expressly understood and agreed that although the Optionee and the Company consider the restrictions contained in this Section 9
to be reasonable, if a final judicial determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this Agreement is an unenforceable restriction against the Optionee, 

  

 
the provisions of this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such maximum
extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as
to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained herein. 
  
 10. Confidential Information and Trade Secrets. The Optionee and the Company agree that certain materials, including, but not limited to,
information, data and other materials relating to customers, development programs, costs, marketing, trading, investment, sales activities, promotion, credit and financial data, manufacturing processes, financing methods, plans or the business and
affairs of the Company and its Affiliates, constitute proprietary confidential information and trade secrets. Accordingly, the Optionee will not at any time during or after the Optionee’s employment with the Company disclose or use for the
Optionee’s own benefit or purposes or the benefit or purposes of any other person, firm, partnership, joint venture, association, corporation or other business organization, entity or enterprise other than the Company and any of its Affiliates,
any proprietary confidential information or trade secrets, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to information which is not unique to the Company or any of its Affiliates or which is generally known to the industry or the public other
than as a result of the Optionee’s breach of this covenant. The Optionee agrees that upon termination of employment with the Company for any reason, the Optionee will immediately return to the Company all memoranda, books, papers, plans,
information, letters and other data, and all copies thereof or therefrom, which in any way relate to the business of the Company and its Affiliates, except that the Optionee may retain personal notes, notebooks and diaries. The Optionee further
agrees that the Optionee will not retain or use for the Optionee’s account at any time any trade names, trademark or other proprietary business designation used or owned in connection with the business of the Company or any of its Affiliates.

  
 11. Remedies. The Optionee acknowledges that a
violation or attempted violation on the Optionee’s part of Sections 9 and 10 will cause irreparable damage to the Company, and the Optionee therefore agrees that the Company shall be entitled as a matter of right to an injunction, out of any
court of competent jurisdiction, restraining any violation or further violation of such promises by the Optionee or the Optionee’s employees, partners or agents. The Optionee agrees that such right to an injunction is cumulative and in addition
to whatever other remedies the Company may have under law or equity. 
  
 12. Failure to Enforce Not A Waiver. The failure of the Company to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof. 
  
 13. Securities Laws. Upon the acquisition of any Shares pursuant to
the exercise of the Option, the Optionee or the Optionee’s transferee, if applicable, will make or enter into such written representations, warranties and agreements as the Company may reasonably request in order to comply with applicable
securities laws, with this Agreement, or as the Company otherwise deems necessary or advisable. 
  

 14. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. 
  
 15. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified at any time by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. 
  
 16. Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document given under this Agreement shall be in writing and
shall be addressed and delivered, in the case of the Company, to the Secretary of the Company at the principal office of the Company and, in the case of the Optionee, to the Optionee’s address as shown in the records of the Company or to such
other address as may be designated in writing by either party. 
  
 17. Award Subject to Plan; Amendments to Award. This Award is subject to the Plan. The terms and provisions of the Plan as it may be amended from time to time are hereby incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict
between any term or provision contained herein and a term or provision of the Plan, the applicable terms and provisions of the Agreement will govern and prevail. 
  
 18. Lapse of Offer. Any failure of the Optionee to sign and return this Agreement to the Vice President Human
Resources within 60 days of the Date of Option Grant will result in revocation of this Option offer and all provisions of this Agreement will expire and will be cancelled and forfeited. 
  
 19. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan are intended to be the final, complete, and exclusive statement of
the terms of the agreement between Optionee and the Company with regard to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan supersede all other prior agreements, communications, and statements, whether written or oral, express or
implied, pertaining to that subject matter. This Agreement and the Plan may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous statements or agreements, oral or written, and may not be explained or supplemented by evidence of consistent
additional terms.

 TERMS AND CONDITIONS 
  
 The restricted stock units under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”) will entitle you to receive shares of the
Company’s common stock in a series of installments over your period of continued employment with the Company. Each unit represents the right to receive one share of common stock following the vesting date of that unit. Unlike a typical stock
option program, the shares will be issued to you as a bonus for your continued service over the vesting period, without any cash payment required from you. However, you must pay the applicable income and employment withholding taxes (described
below) when due. 
  
 The terms and provisions of your award are subject to the
provisions of the Plan. A copy of the Plan is available upon request from Human Resources. 
  
 Other important features of your award may be summarized as follows: 
  
 Special Vesting Rules: All of the shares subject to your award will vest (i.e., will not be subject to forfeiture as the result of
employment termination) upon the occurrence of any of the following events, and (except as otherwise specified below) such vested shares will be delivered to you as soon as practical after the occurrence of such event: 
  

	 	•	 	your termination of employment with the Company on or after your attainment of age sixty-five (65); 

  

	 	•	 	your termination of employment with the Company on or after your attainment of age fifty-five (55) under circumstances which also satisfy the criteria for either Early Retirement or
Incapacity Retirement under the Company’s Employment Retirement Plan, as in effect at that time (provided, that in such event, the delivery of your vested shares will automatically be deferred until the August 1 following the date on which
those shares would normally have vested); or 

  

	 	•	 	the termination of your employment with the Company by reason of your death or as part of a reduction in force implemented by the Company. 

  
 In no event will any special vesting of your shares occur should your
employment with the Company be terminated for Cause (as such term is defined in the Plan) or should you leave the Company’s employ for any reason other than in connection with one of special vesting events specified above. 
  
 Forfeitability: Should you cease employment under circumstances
which do not otherwise entitle you to the special vesting of the unvested shares subject to your award, then your award will be cancelled with respect to those unvested shares, and the number of your restricted stock units will be reduced
accordingly. You will thereupon cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any shares of common stock under those cancelled units. 
  
 Should your employment be terminated for “Cause” (as defined in the Plan) or should you breach any of the non-competition or proprietary
information covenants set forth in the 

  

 
Covenants section below, then not only will your award be cancelled with respect to any unvested shares at the time subject to your award, but
you will also forfeit all of your right, title and interest in and to any shares which have vested under your award and which are either held by you at that time or are otherwise subject to deferred issuance. The certificates for any vested shares
you hold at the time of such termination or breach must be promptly returned to the Company, and the Company will in addition impose an immediate stop transfer order with respect to those certificates. Accordingly, upon such termination of your
employment or breach of any of your non-competition or proprietary information covenants below, you will cease to have any further right or entitlement to receive or retain the shares of common stock subject to your forfeited award. In addition, to
the extent you have sold any of your vested shares within the six (6)-month period ending with the date of your termination for Cause or your breach of any covenant set forth in the Covenants section below or at any time thereafter,
then you will be required to repay to the Company, within ten (10) days after receipt of written demand from the Company, the cash proceeds you received upon each such sale, provided such demand is made by the Company within one year after the date
of that sale. 
  
 Transferability: The shares issued
to you following the vesting of your award will be registered under the federal securities laws and will be freely tradable upon receipt. However, subsequent sales of those shares will be subject to any market black-out periods the Company may
impose from time to time and must be made in compliance with the Company’s insider trading policies. 
  
 Prior to your actual receipt of the shares in which you vest under your award, you may not transfer any interest in your award or the underlying shares or
pledge or otherwise hedge the sale of those shares, including (without limitation) any short sale, put or call option or any other instrument tied to the value of those shares. However, your right to receive any shares which have vested under your
restricted stock units but which remain unissued at the time of your death may be transferred pursuant to the provisions of your will or the laws of inheritance following your death. 
  
 Federal Income Taxation: You will recognize ordinary income for federal income tax purposes on the date the
shares which vest under your award are actually issued to you, and you must satisfy your income tax withholding obligation applicable to that income. The amount of your taxable income will be equal to the closing selling price per share of the
Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the issue date times the number of shares issued to you on that date. 
  
 FICA Taxes: You will be liable for the payment of the employee share of the FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes applicable to the
shares subject to your award at the time those shares vest, and not at the time they are subsequently issued. No additional FICA taxes will be due when the shares are actually issued. FICA taxes will be based on the closing selling price of the
shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the date those shares vest under the award. 
  
 Withholding Taxes: You must pay all applicable federal and state income and employment withholding taxes when due. Those taxes will be deducted from your paycheck on 

  

 
the pay day coincident with or next following the date on which such liability arises, unless you elect to satisfy your withholding tax liability through
either of the following alternatives: 
  

	 	•	 	the delivery of your separate check payable to the Company or, 

  

	 	•	 	the use of the proceeds from a same-date sale of the shares issued to you, provided such a sale is permissible under the Company’s trading policies governing your sale of
Company shares and you are not at the time an executive officer subject to the short-swing trading restrictions of the federal securities laws. 

  
 Stockholder Rights: You will not have any stockholder rights, including voting rights and actual dividend
rights, with respect to the shares subject to your award until you become the record holder of those shares following their actual issuance to you and your satisfaction of the applicable withholding taxes. 
  
 Dividend Equivalent Rights: Should a regular cash
dividend be declared on the Company’s common stock at a time when unissued shares of such common stock are subject to your award, then the number of shares at that time subject to your award will automatically be increased by an amount
determined in accordance with the following formula, rounded down to the nearest whole share: 
  
 X = (A x B)/C, where 
  

					
	 X
	  	=	  	the additional number of shares which will become subject to your award by reason of the cash dividend;
			
	 A
	  	=	  	the number of unissued shares subject to this award as of the record date for such dividend;
			
	 B
	  	=	  	the per share amount of the cash dividend; and
			
	 C
	  	=	  	the closing selling price per share of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the payment date of such dividend.

  
 The additional shares
resulting from such calculation will be subject to the same terms and conditions (including, without limitation, any applicable vesting requirements, forfeiture provisions and deferral election) as the unissued shares of common stock to which they
relate under the award. 
  
 Other Adjustments: In
the event of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitilization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other similar change affecting the Company’s outstanding common stock as a class without the Company’s receipt of consideration,
the number and/or class of securities subject to your award will be appropriately adjusted to preclude any dilution or enlargement of your rights under the award. 
  

 Change in Control: In the event of a Change in Control (as such term is defined in the the
Plan), all of the then-unvested shares subject to your award will vest in full on an accelerated basis, and the shares of the Company’s common stock subject to your vested units, including those which vest on such an accelerated basis, will be
issued immediately prior to the closing of the change in control transaction whether or not you have elected a later deferred distribution date. 
  
 However, if such accelerated vesting of the shares subject to your award, either alone or together with any other payments or benefits to which you may
otherwise become entitled from the Company in connection with the Change in Control would, in the Company’s good faith opinion, be deemed to be a parachute payment under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code (or any successor provision),
then, unless any agreement between you and the Company provides otherwise, the number of shares which are to vest on such an accelerated basis under your award will be reduced to the extent necessary to assure, in the Company’s good faith
opinion, that no portion of your accelerated award will be considered such a parachute payment. The Company’s good faith opinion on this matter will be conclusive and binding upon you and your successors. 
  
 Covenants: As a further condition to your right and entitlement
to receive the shares of the Company’s common stock subject to your award, you hereby agree to abide by the terms and conditions of the following non-competition and proprietary information covenants: 
  
 Non-Competition Covenant. 
  
 You hereby acknowledge and recognize the highly competitive
nature of the business of the Company and its Affiliates (as such term is defined in the Plan) and accordingly agree that during the term of your employment and for a period of two years immediately thereafter: 
  
 (a) You will not directly or indirectly engage in any
business which is in competition with any line of business conducted by the Company or any of its Affiliates, including (without limitation) any engagement as an officer, director, proprietor, employee, partner, investor (other than as a holder of
less than 1% of the outstanding capital stock of a publicly traded corporation), consultant, advisor, agent or sales representative, in any geographic region in which the Company or any of its Affiliates conduct any such competing line of business.

  
 (b) You will not perform (or otherwise
solicit the performance of) services for any customer or client of the Company of any of its Affiliates.1

  
 (c) You will not directly or indirectly
induce any employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates to (i) engage in any activity or conduct which 

	1	Neither the restrictions of subparagraph (a) nor those of subparagraph (b) of the
Non-Competition Covenant shall apply in the event your employment with the Company is involuntarily terminated in connection with a reduction in force implemented by the Company. 

  

 is prohibited pursuant to this non-competition covenant or (ii) terminate such individual’s
employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates. Moreover, you will not directly or indirectly employ or offer employment (in connection with any business which is in competition with any line of business conducted by the Company or any of its
Affiliates) to any person who was employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates unless such person shall have ceased to be employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates for a period of at least 12 months. 
  
 (d) You will not directly or indirectly assist others in
engaging in any of the activities which are prohibited under subparagraphs (a) through (c) above. 
  
 It is expressly understood and agreed that although you and the Company consider the foregoing restrictions to be reasonable, should a
final judicial determination be made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this agreement is an unenforceable restriction against you, the provision of this agreement will not be
rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, should any court of competent jurisdiction find
that any restriction contained in this agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained herein. 

 
 Proprietary Information Covenant.

  
 You and the Company agree that
certain materials, including (without limitation) information, data and other materials relating to customers, development programs, costs, marketing, trading, investment, sales activities, promotion, credit and financial data, manufacturing
