facilities to be constructed on the Premises, during the term of this Lease. Williamson shall protect and preserve all electric power, telephone, gas and utility lines, and ail other structures or improvements, heretofore or hereafter erected under

 2. TERM AND RENT. 

2.1 This Lease shall be for a term of fifteen (15) years from and after the Effective Date herein (the “Term”), unless
sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. Provided, however, if Williamson is not in default of the terms hereof at the end of the primary term as set out above or any extended term, it may elect to renew this Lease for additional five
(5) year terms on the same terms and conditions set forth herein until all of the merchantable and mineable coal underlying the premises separately leased by Steelhead to Williamson in the vicinity of the Premises shall have been mined and
removed. Williamson shall provide Steelhead written notice of Williamson’s desire to so extend the lease at lease thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Term.

representations or warranties as to Steelhead’s title to any of the Premises, the condition or fitness of the Premises for any purpose, or the true acreage covered by the Premises. Steelhead shall not be liable for any loss incurred by
Williamson under this Lease. Steelhead does not assume any responsibility or liability for the present or future condition of the Premises, and Steelhead shall not be liable to Williamson for any damage to or destruction of the Premises or
Williamson’s property or the property of any other person that occurs within, on or under the Premises.

represents to Steelhead that (i) it has made an independent examination of the Premises and obtained all necessary information or data (as determined by Williamson) related thereto; and (ii) it has fully informed itself as to all existing
conditions and limitations, including all laws, ordinances and regulations.

 4. TAXES. Williamson covenants and agrees that it shall pay all taxes imposed
on the leasehold estate hereby created, including, but not limited to: all real property taxes; sales, use and property taxes which may be assessed on or with respect to the improvements, machinery and equipment place on the Premises by Williamson;
and all other taxes, levies, assessments, fees and other charges imposed by any government having authority to impose the same upon the leasehold estate hereby created. 
 5. PERMITS AND RECLAMATION. Williamson shall obtain any and all necessary licenses or permits for its activities and operations and shall be bound by the terms thereof and shall perform in
accordance therewith. Williamson shall have full responsibility therefore, including all requisite site reclamation work: and Williamson, its sublessees or contractors, shall pay all fees, fines and assessments related thereto. Steelhead agrees to
cooperate with Williamson in effectuating any reasonable changes or modifications to the permit, provided that any such changes or modifications do not unreasonably interfere with the interest or rights of Steelhead or other lessees in and to the
Premises. Upon termination of this Lease, Williamson shall complete all required reclamation upon the Premises in full compliance with all applicable lease terms, laws, regulations and permit requirements. Williamson shall have the right to reenter
the Premises after termination of this Lease for the purpose of performing or completing such reclamation. 
 6.
OPERATIONS ON THE PREMISES. 
 6.1 Williamson covenants that its operations on the Premises shall be conducted in a
lawful, careful, skillful, efficient and workmanlike manner. Should Williamson or its employees, agents, representatives, sublessees, licensees, 

  
 4 

 
contractors or subcontractors do or omit to do any act on the Premises that creates or contributes to the creation of any condition constituting a common law nuisance or an environmental hazard,
or which causes or is likely to cause the pollution of air or water, or contravenes any law or requires expenditures in order to comply with the law after the termination of this Lease, Williamson agrees to remove from the Premises or otherwise
abate the conditions creating or contributing to the creation of the foregoing conditions and to indemnify and save harmless Steelhead from any claims, demands, suits, awards, or judgments arising out of the existence of such conditions. 

6.2 It shall be the sole responsibility of Williamson to ascertain the accurate boundary lines of the Premises before conducting any
operations thereon. Upon request, Steelhead shall provide Williamson with copies of all property surveys conducted by Steelhead on the Premises. 
 7. INSPECTION OF PREMISES AND AUDIT. 
 7.1 Steelhead, its agents,
engineers or other persons in its behalf, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter the Premises at all reasonable times during standard business hours and upon one (1) day notice to inspect and examine the Premises or any part
thereof, for any lawful purpose. 
 7.2 Steelhead, its agents, engineers or other persons in its behalf, may, at all reasonable
times during standard business hours and upon one (1) day advance notice, perform audits to verify information and data of Williamson concerning Williamson’s activities on the Premises.

representatives, shall be present upon the Premises or upon Williamson’s place of business, if at all, only to protect the interests of Steelhead under this Lease and shall in no way be responsible for the acts or omissions of Williamson, its

possession of the Premises or any portion thereof or interests therein without first obtaining consent in writing of Steelhead thereto. Consent may be withheld at Steelhead’s sole discretion. No such assignment, and no consent to any assignment
by Steelhead in writing or otherwise, shall operate to release Williamson or its assignee (or other transferee) from securing the prior written consent of Steelhead as herein required to any other or further assignment, it being the intention of the
parties that such prior written consent by Steelhead shall be obtained before the making of any other or further assignment, however remote. Any document or documents effecting such an assignment must be expressly subject to all terms and conditions
of this Lease. Any assignment in violation of this provision shall be null and void. 
 8.2 An “assignment” within the
meaning of this article shall include any sale, lease, sublease, license, contract, mortgage, pledge, setting over or other transfer or encumbrance of all or a part of the Premises, whether voluntary or by operation of law. A sale or transfer, or
any attempted sale or transfer, of control of any of the capital stock or other ownership interest in Williamson, either voluntarily or by operation of law, shall constitute an assignment requiring consent. 

8.3 Any sale or transfer, or attempted sate or transfer, of the capital stock of Williamson in violation of Section 8.2, shall
constitute a default hereunder and Steelhead may then terminate this Lease upon ten (10) days written notice to Williamson. 
 8.4 Notwithstanding the prohibitions of this Article 8, Steelhead hereby consents to the pledge by Williamson of all of Williamson’s right, title and interest under this Lease to Williamson Royalty
Ventures LLC (“Williamson Royalty”) and shall permit the filing of a leasehold mortgage by Williamson Royalty as evidence of such pledge by Williamson.

all claims, demands, suits, losses, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), damages and injuries (including death) to persons and property whatsoever that may result from or arise out of a breach of this Lease or the operations of
Williamson or any of its sublessees, contractors, subcontractors or assigns under this Lease, and Steelhead, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns, shall have no responsibility or liability therefore.
