action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Seventh Amendment and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to authorize the borrowings on the terms and conditions therein. No consent or authorization of,
filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is or was required in connection with the transactions contemplated herein or in the other Transaction Documents, the borrowings thereunder, or
the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Seventh Amendment or any other Transaction Documents (other than the filings referred to in Section 7.19 of the Credit Agreement). Each Transaction Document to which
Borrower is a party that is in effect on the date this representation and warranty is made has been duly executed and 

 
delivered on behalf of Borrower. This Seventh Amendment constitutes, and each other Transaction Document to which Borrower is a party, upon execution, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding
obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). 

(c) No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance of this Seventh Amendment and the other Credit Documents to which Borrower is a
party by Borrower, the borrowings thereunder by Borrower and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Applicable Law, any material Mine Document or any Organizational Document of Borrower and will not result in, or require, the creation

fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2016, a copy of which has heretofore been furnished to each Lender, presents fairly the financial condition and results of operations and cash flows of the Credit Parties as of such date and for such periods. 

(e) No Contingent Liabilities. Other than the Mining Lease Litigation, no Credit Party has any material contingent liability, liability
for Taxes or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, in each case, that was outstanding or otherwise in

transactions contemplated thereby or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

 (h) No Default. Borrower is not in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual
Obligations that would, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as expressly set forth on Exhibit A hereto, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or will
result from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Seventh Amendment.

Borrower has not conducted and is not conducting any business or activities other than businesses and activities directly or indirectly relating to the ownership, development, construction, operation, maintenance and financing of the Deer Run Mine

statement furnished to any Lender Party by or on behalf of any Credit Party for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the financial statements referred to in Section 6(d) above), taken as
a whole, contained as of the date such statement, information, document or certificate was so furnished, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or
therein not misleading. 
 (k) Title to Property. Borrower is the sole owner of, legally and beneficially, and has good marketable and
insurable title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its Property (including the Deer Run Mine), and none of such Property is subject to any claims, liabilities, obligations, charges or restrictions of any kind, nature or
description or to any Lien other than General Permitted Liens and Equipment Permitted Liens. At the time this representation is made, Borrower has Mining Title to all Mining Facilities covered by outstanding Governmental Approvals issued to Borrower
to the extent necessary to conduct its business as currently conducted and to utilize such properties for their intended purpose at such time. The properties of Borrower that are material to its business, taken as a whole, are in good operating
order, condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted) constitutes all the property that is required for the business and operations of Borrower as conducted on the date this representation is made or repeated. 

(l) Intellectual Property. Borrower owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as
currently conducted. No material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor does Borrower know of any valid
basis for any such claim in each case, that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The use of Intellectual Property by Borrower does not infringe on the rights of any Person in such Intellectual Property in any material
respect. 

 (m) Taxes. 

(i) Filing; Payment. Borrower (a) has timely filed or caused to be timely filed all federal and material other Tax returns
required to have been filed by or with respect to it, and each such Tax return is complete and accurate in all material respects and (b) has timely paid or caused to be timely paid all material Taxes shown thereon to be due and payable by it
and all other material Taxes or assessments (other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the
books of Borrower). 
 (ii) No Liens. (a) No Liens for material Taxes (other than General Permitted Liens) have been filed with
respect to the assets of Borrower, and no unresolved claim has been asserted in writing to Borrower or its Affiliates or members with respect to any material Taxes of Borrower, and (b) no waiver or agreement by Borrower is in force for the extension
of time for the assessment or payment of any material Tax that has not expired, and, to Borrower’s knowledge, no request for any such extension or waiver is currently pending. There is no pending or threatened in writing material audit or
investigation by any Taxing Authority with respect to Borrower. 
 (iii) Pass-Through Entity. Borrower is, and has been since its
formation, a Pass-Through Entity. Borrower is not subject to entity-level Tax for state, local or foreign income or franchise Tax purposes. Borrower has not engaged in any “listed transaction” (as defined in Treasury Regulation
Section 1.6011-4) or made any disclosure under Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4. 
 (n) Federal Regulations. Borrower is
not engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of any Term Loan have been or will be used, whether directly or
indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, (a) to purchase or carry Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock or to refund indebtedness originally incurred for such
purpose, or (b) for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the provisions of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulation U or Regulation X. 

(o) ERISA. Borrower, each ERISA Affiliate and each Plan is in compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and
the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder, except for failures to so comply which could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur
that would subject Borrower to any Tax, penalty or other liabilities, which Tax, penalty or other liabilities which individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The excess in the present value
of all benefit liabilities under each Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plan), as of the last annual valuation date applicable 

 thereto, over the fair market value of the assets of such Plan could not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan, the potential liability of Borrower and its ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such
Multiemployer Plan, when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, is zero. Borrower and each of its ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with
respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to any payments to a Multiemployer Plan. 

(p) Black Lung Act and Coal Act. Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (a) Borrower and
each of its Affiliates are in compliance with both the Black Lung Act and the Coal Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder, (b) none of Borrower or any of its Affiliates has incurred any liability under the Black Lung Act, Coal Act and
their respective regulations, (c) Borrower, each of its Affiliates and their respective “related persons” (as defined in Section 9701(c) of the Code) are in compliance with the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992 and
any regulations promulgated thereunder, and (d) none of Borrower, any of its Affiliates or their respective “related persons” has incurred any liability under the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992. 

(q) Investment Company Act. Borrower is not an “investment company” within the meaning of or otherwise subject to regulation
under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
 (r) Environmental Matters – Compliance. Other than exceptions to any of
the following that (a) could not reasonably be expected to result in liability to Borrower in excess of $5,000,000 or (b) could not (individually or in the aggregate) reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

 (ii) Borrower has no reason to expect that (1) any action or challenge

foreseeable operations or expansions (including any renewals of existing Environmental or Mining Permits) will not be obtainable in the ordinary course of the applicable permitting processes;

Real Property now or formerly owned, leased or operated by Borrower or at any other location (including any location to which Hazardous Materials have been sent for re-use or recycling or for treatment, storage, or disposal) which could reasonably
be expected to (1) give rise to liability of Borrower under any applicable Environmental Law or otherwise result in costs to Borrower, (2) interfere with Borrower’s operations or (3) impair the fair saleable value of any Real
Property owned or leased by Borrower; provided however that, in the case of this clause (3), Borrower may have engaged in Hazardous Materials Activities typically engaged in by a reasonably prudent Person engaged in coal mining, processing
and selling activities and that are in compliance with Environmental Law; 
 (iv) there are no pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower,
threatened Environmental or Mining Claims related to Borrower or the Deer Run Mine; 
 (v) Borrower has not received any written request for
information, or been notified that it is a potentially responsible party under or relating to any Environmental Law; 
 (vi) Borrower has
not entered into or agreed to any consent decree, order, or settlement or other agreement, or is subject to any judgment, decree, or order or other agreement, in any judicial, administrative, arbitral, or other forum for dispute resolution, relating
to compliance with or liability under any Environmental Law; 
 (vii) Borrower has not assumed or retained, by contract or operation of law,

access to all Properties of Borrower and all material records and files in the possession, custody or control of, or otherwise reasonably available to Borrower concerning compliance with or liability under Environmental Law, including those
concerning any Hazardous Materials Activity at the Mining Facilities.

(t) Sufficiency of Rights. All easements, leasehold and other property interests, and all utility and other services, means of
transportation, facilities, other materials and other rights that can reasonably be expected to be necessary for the construction, completion, operation and maintenance of the Deer Run Mine in accordance with Applicable Law and the Transaction

commercially reasonable terms for such easements, interests, services, means of transportation, facilities, materials and rights.

made in order to continue such insurance and (b) has no reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers at a cost that

Guarantor as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, present fairly the financial condition and results of operation and cash flows of Guarantor as of such date and for
such period. The unaudited balance sheet and the related statements of income, stockholder’s equity and cash flow of Guarantor as of and for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2016, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each
Lender, present fairly the financial condition and results of operations and cash flows of Guarantor as of such date and for such periods. 

 (ii) No Contingent Liabilities. Guarantor does not have any material contingent
liability, liability for Taxes or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, in each case, that was
outstanding or otherwise in existence during any of the periods described in Section 7(e)(i) that are not reflected in the financial statements described in Section 7(e)(i). 

(f) No Litigation. Other than the Mining Lease Litigation and except as disclosed in Schedule A hereto, no litigation,
investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority (including under any Environmental Law or Mining Law) is pending or, to the knowledge of Guarantor, threatened by or against Guarantor or any of its Properties or
revenues (a) with respect to this Seventh Amendment, the Guaranty or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(g) No Default. Guarantor is not in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations that would, either individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, nor will any default result from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Seventh Amendment. 

(h) Accuracy of Information, etc. No statement or information contained in this Seventh Amendment or the Guaranty or any other document,
certificate or statement furnished to any Lender Party by or on behalf of Guarantor for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents, taken as a whole, contained as of the date such statement, information, document or
certificate was so furnished, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading. As of the date hereof, there is no fact known to
Guarantor that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been expressly disclosed herein or in the other Credit Documents. 

(i) Taxes. Guarantor (a) has timely filed or caused to be timely filed all federal and material other Tax returns required to have
been filed by or with respect to it, and each such Tax return is complete and accurate in all material respects and (b) has timely paid or caused to be timely paid all material Taxes shown thereon to be due and payable by it and all other
material Taxes or assessments (other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of
Guarantor). 
 (j) Investment Company Act. Guarantor is not an “investment company” within the meaning of or otherwise
subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 

 (k) Solvency. Guarantor is and will be, after giving effect to the obligations
contemplated under this Seventh Amendment, Solvent. 
 (l) Foreign Assets Control Regulations. Guarantor (i) is not and will not
become a Person or entity described by section 1 of Executive Order 13224 of September 24, 2001 Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism (12 C.F.R. 595), and no Credit
Party engages in dealings or transactions with any such Persons or entities, and (ii) is not in violation of the USA PATRIOT Act. 
 (m)
Knowledge of Borrower. Guarantor has knowledge of Borrower’s financial condition and affairs and has adequate means to obtain from Borrower, on an ongoing basis, information relating thereto and to Borrower’s ability to pay and
perform the Obligations, and agrees to assume the responsibility for keeping, and to keep, so informed for so long as this Seventh Amendment is in effect. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the Lender Parties shall have no obligation to
investigate the financial condition or affairs of Guarantor nor to advise Guarantor of any fact respecting, or any change in, the financial condition or affairs of Borrower that might become known to any Lender Party at any time, whether or not such
Lender Party knows or believes, or has reasons to know or believe, that such fact or change is unknown to Guarantor, or might, or does, materially increase the risk of Guarantor as guarantor, or might, or would, affect the willingness of Guarantor
to continue as a guarantor of the Obligations. 
 (n) Substantial Benefit. It is in the best interest of Guarantor to execute this
Seventh Amendment and to have executed the Guaranty inasmuch as Guarantor has derived substantial direct and indirect benefit from the Term Loans and Guarantor agrees that the Lender Parties are relying on this representation in agreeing to enter
into this Seventh Amendment with the Credit Parties. 
 8. RATIFICATION AND RELEASE. 

(a) Ratification. Each Credit Party hereby (i) ratifies and reaffirms all of its payment and performance obligations, contingent or
otherwise, and each grant of security interests and liens in favor of Administrative Agent, Hermes Agent, Collateral Agent and the Lenders, as the case may be, under each Finance Document to which it is a party, (ii) agrees and acknowledges
that the liens in favor of Collateral Agent for the benefit of the undersigned Lender (constituting all Lenders under the Credit Agreement as of the Effective Date) under the Security Agreement constitute valid, binding, enforceable and perfected
first priority liens and security interests and are not subject to avoidance, disallowance or subordination pursuant to any requirement of Applicable Law, (iii) agrees and acknowledges the Obligations constitute legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Credit Parties and that (A) no offsets, defenses or counterclaims to the Obligations or any other causes of action with respect to the Obligations or the Finance Documents exist and (B) no portion of the Obligations is
subject to avoidance, disallowance, reduction or subordination pursuant to any requirement of Applicable Law, (iv) acknowledges and agrees that as of the Effective Date, the Outstanding Amount of the Term Loans is $46,406,252.58,
(v) agrees that such ratification and reaffirmation is not a 

 condition to the continued effectiveness of the Finance Documents, and (vi) agrees that
neither such ratification and reaffirmation, nor Administrative Agent’s nor any Lender’s solicitation of such ratification and reaffirmation, constitutes a course of dealing giving rise to any obligation or condition requiring a similar or
any other ratification or reaffirmation from each party to the Credit Agreement with respect to any subsequent modifications, consent or waiver with respect to the Credit Agreement or other Finance Documents. This Seventh Amendment shall constitute
a “Credit Document” for purposes of the Credit Agreement. 
 (b) Release; Covenant Not to Sue; Acknowledgement. 

(i) Each Credit Party hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and forever discharges each Agent and each Lender and each of their
respective Related Parties (each a “Released Party”) from any and all claims, demands or causes of action of any kind, nature or description, whether arising in law or equity or upon contract or tort or under any state or federal
law or otherwise, which any Credit Party has had, now has or has made claim to have against any such Person for or by reason of any act, omission, matter, cause or thing whatsoever arising from the beginning of time to and including the Effective
Date arising out of or in connection with the Obligations, the Credit Agreement, this Seventh Amendment or any other Transaction Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, whether such claims, demands and causes of action are
matured or unmatured or known or unknown. It is the intention of each Credit Party in providing this release that the same shall be effective as a bar to each and every claim, demand and cause of action specified. Each Credit Party acknowledges that
it may hereafter discover facts different from or in addition to those now known or believed to be true with respect to such claims, demands, or causes of action and agrees that this instrument shall be and remain effective in all respects
notwithstanding any such differences or additional facts. Each Credit Party understands, acknowledges and agrees that the release set forth above may be pleaded as a full and complete defense and may be used as a basis for an injunction against any
action, suit or other proceeding which may be instituted, prosecuted or attempted in breach of the provisions of such release. 
 (ii) Each
Credit Party, on behalf of itself and its successors, assigns, and other legal representatives, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, covenants and agrees with and in favor of each Released Party above that it will not sue (at law, in
equity, in any regulatory proceeding or otherwise) any Released Party on the basis of any claim released, remised and discharged by any Credit Party pursuant to the above release. If any Credit Party or any of their successors, assigns or other
legal representatives violates the foregoing covenant, each Credit Party, for itself and its successors, assigns and legal representatives, agrees to pay, in addition to such other damages as any Released Party may sustain as a result of such
violation, all documented and reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by such Released Party as a result of such violation. 

 (iii) Each Credit Party represents and warrants that, to its knowledge, there are no
liabilities, claims, suits, debts, liens, losses, causes of action, demands, rights, damages or costs, or expenses of any kind, character or nature whatsoever, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, which any Credit Party may have or claim to have
against any Released Party arising with respect to the Obligations, the Credit Agreement, this Seventh Amendment or any other Transaction Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 

(iv) Each of the Credit Parties has been advised by counsel with respect to the release contained in this Section 8(b).

 9. CONTINUING EFFECT; NO WAIVER; REFERENCES. All of the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement, the Foresight Energy
Guaranty and the other Finance Documents are and shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed. The execution and delivery of this Seventh Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, constitute a waiver or
amendment of (a) any provision of any Finance Document or (b) any right, power or remedy of Administrative Agent, Hermes Agent or Lender under any Finance Document, including rights, powers and remedies arising out of or relating to any
existing Defaults or Events of Default, other than as expressly set forth herein. No course of dealing and no failure or delay by Administrative Agent, Hermes Agent or Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy under any Finance Document shall
operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice the rights, powers or remedies of Administrative Agent, Hermes Agent or Lender. From and after the date hereof, (i) all references to the “Credit Agreement” contained in the Finance
Documents shall be deemed to refer to the Amended Credit Agreement (as the same may be further amended, supplemented or modified from time to time) and (ii) all references to the “Foresight Guaranty” contained in the Finance Documents
shall be deemed to refer to the Amended Foresight Energy Guaranty (as the same may be further amended, supplemented or modified from time to time). 

10. SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Seventh Amendment that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate nor render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 11. GOVERNING LAW. THIS SEVENTH AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
UNDER THIS SEVENTH AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

 12. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BORROWER, GUARANTOR AND EACH LENDER PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS SEVENTH AMENDMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN. 

13. COUNTERPARTS. This Seventh Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts by the parties hereto, each of which
counterparts when so executed shall be an original, but all the counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Seventh Amendment by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall
have the same effect as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. 
 [Signature pages follow.] 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Seventh Amendment to be duly executed and
delivered by their respective proper and duly authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

Date, Administrative Agent shall have received (and each Lender shall have received promptly thereafter) from Hermes Agent a written notice that Hermes Agent has paid, or wishes to pay, all or any portion of the Hermes Guarantee Fees, which written
notice shall be include a request for an Advance in an amount equal to such portion of the Hermes Guarantee Fees (provided that in no event shall Hermes Agent request an Advance for payment by Hermes Agent of any Hermes Guarantee Fee
Shortfall). 

  
 34 

 2.3.4 Required Payments. Subject to Sections 2.4.1 and 2.4.2, each Lender shall, on or
before 12:00 p.m. New York time on each Disbursement Date, make available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, such Lender’s Proportionate Share of the aggregate Advances requested in the corresponding Borrower Disbursement
Certificate (such Lender’s “Required Payment”). Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to a Disbursement Date that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent its Required
Payment on such Disbursement Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Required Payment available on such date in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence and may, in its sole discretion, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its Required Payment at such time on such Disbursement Date available to Administrative Agent, then such Lender and Borrower severally
agree to pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment
to Administrative Agent, at the Overnight LIBO Rate. If such Lender pays such amount to Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Term Loan included in such Advance. 

2.4 Deemed Funding of Eligible Interest Loans. 

2.4.1 Satisfaction of Conditions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, to the extent that Advances are requested
to be utilized to pay Eligible Interest During Construction and the conditions precedent to the making of such Advances set forth Section 6.3 have been satisfied or waived on the applicable Disbursement Date, each Lender’s Proportionate
Share of such Advances shall not be made available to Administrative Agent but shall be deemed (a) funded by such Lender as Eligible Interest Loans and (b) paid by Borrower to such Lender for Eligible Interest During Construction on the
applicable Disbursement Date. 
 2.4.2 Failure to Satisfy Conditions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, to
the extent Hermes Agent determines that Borrower has not requested Advances to be utilized to pay Eligible Interest During Construction in an amount sufficient to pay such obligations when due, and notwithstanding the absence of a request from
Borrower for such Advances or the failure to satisfy any conditions set forth in Section 6.3, if Hermes Agent so elects by providing written notice to Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender, each Lender’s Proportionate Share of
Advances in an aggregate amount specified in such notice shall be deemed (a) funded by such Lender as Eligible Interest Loans and (b) paid by Borrower to such Lender for Eligible Interest During Construction in the amount and on the date
specified in such written notice. 
 2.5 Use of Term Loans. Borrower shall not request or apply any portion of any Term Loan other
than: 
 (i) to pay, or to be used by Borrower to reimburse Hermes Agent for its payment of, Hermes Guarantee Fees up to the
Hermes Guarantee Fee Loan Cap; 

  
 35 

 (ii) to pay, or reimburse Borrower for its payment of, Eligible Interest During
Construction up to the Eligible Interest Loan Cap; and 
 (iii) to pay directly to Equipment Supplier, or reimburse Borrower
for its payment of, the Contract Price Eligible Portion up to the Contract Price Loan Cap. 
 2.6 Authorizations by Borrower. 

2.6.1 Hermes Guarantee Fees. To the extent that any Advances are requested to be utilized to pay Hermes Guarantee Fees pursuant to
Section 2.5(i), Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes (a) Hermes Agent to deliver the written notice described in clause (2) of Section 2.3.3(C), (b) Administrative Agent to deliver the received proceeds of such Advances to
an account designated by Hermes Agent and (c) Hermes Agent to (i) deliver such proceeds, upon receipt thereof, to an account designated by Hermes or (ii) reimburse itself for amounts previously paid to an account designated by Hermes.
To the extent Hermes Agent receives all or any portion of any Hermes Guarantee Fee Refund from Hermes, Hermes Agent shall promptly send such amounts to Administrative Agent for application by Administrative Agent to the prepayment of the Term Loans
in accordance with Section 3.4, and such prepayment shall be deemed to have been made by Borrower in accordance with Section 3.4 (provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be obligated pay any other amounts
specified in Section 3.4). 
 2.6.2 Eligible Interest During Construction. To the extent that any Advances are requested to be
utilized to pay Eligible Interest During Construction pursuant to Section 2.5(ii) or Hermes Agent elects to request and utilize any Advances to pay Eligible Interest During Construction pursuant to Section 2.4.2, Borrower hereby
irrevocably authorizes each Lender to deem funded, on behalf of and for the account of Borrower as Term Loans, such Lender’s Proportionate Share of the aggregate of such Advances as provided in Section 2.4, and any such payments of
Eligible Interest During Construction shall be deemed paid by Borrower to such Lender. 
 2.6.3 Contract Price. To the extent that any
Advances are requested to be utilized to pay any portion of the Contract Price Eligible Portion pursuant to Section 2.5(iii) or (iv), respectively, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent to deliver the received proceeds of
such Advances to an account designated by Equipment Supplier in the applicable Equipment Supplier Disbursement Certificate. 
 2.7
Evidence of Indebtedness; Register; Term Notes. 
 2.7.1 Evidence of Indebtedness. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance
with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Term Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to
time hereunder. Borrower agrees that all computations of interest by a Lender based on such account or accounts shall, in the absence of manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the amount thereof. 

  
 36 

 2.7.2 Register. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Borrower, shall maintain a register
(the “Register”) in which it shall record (a) the names and addresses of the Lenders, (b) the amount of each Term Loan of each Lender made hereunder, (c) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become
due and payable from Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (d) any amount received by Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. Administrative Agent shall provide Borrower access to the
Register upon reasonable request by Borrower. 
 2.7.3 Term Notes. Any Lender may request that Term Loans made by it to Borrower be
evidenced by a Term Note. In such event, Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Term Note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns). Thereafter, the Term
Loans evidenced by such Term Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 12.7) be represented by one or more Term Notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such
Term Note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 
 2.8 Obligations Several. The failure of any Lender to
make available its Proportional Share of an Advance shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation under this Agreement to make available its Proportional Share of any Advance. No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender
to make available its Proportional Share of an Advance on a Disbursement Date. 
 2.9 Set-Off. 

2.9.1 Lender Parties. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender Party is hereby authorized at any time
and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender Party to or
for the credit or the account of Borrower, against any and all obligations of Borrower under this Agreement or any other Credit Document held by such Lender Party, irrespective of whether or not such Lender Party shall have made any demand under
this Agreement or such other Credit Document and although the obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender Party
may have. 
 2.9.2 Borrower. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to contrary, in no event shall Borrower be permitted to set off
any amounts owing by Borrower hereunder against any amounts requested to be advanced by the Lenders hereunder. 
 SECTION 3. PAYMENTS BY
BORROWER 
 3.1 Interest. 

3.1.1 Interest Rate. Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan made to Borrower at the Fixed Interest

principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment. 
 3.1.3 Default Interest. If any
principal of or interest on any Term Loan or any fee, indemnity or other amount remains unpaid after such amount is due hereunder, Borrower shall pay interest (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) on such overdue amount, at a
rate per annum equal to 2.00% plus the greater of (a) the Fixed Interest Rate and (b) the sum of the Lenders’ cost of making or maintaining the Term Loans and the Applicable Spread, as reasonably determined by Administrative Agent,
from the date such amount was due until the date of its paymentsuch unpaid amount is repaid in full. 

3.2 Principal. Commencing on the Firstfirst Principal
Payment Date after the Seventh Amendment Effective Date, and on each Principal Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall repay, to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender based on
its Proportionate Share, outstanding Term Loans in equal semi-annual installments (it being agreed that Borrower’s installment payment of principal on the First Principal Payment Date
shall include 1/17 of the principal amount of Term Loans being disbursed on the First Principal Payment
Date)accordance with the amortization schedule set forth on Schedule 3.2 hereto; provided however that the amount of the final installment on the Maturity Date shall in any
event be equal to the remaining outstanding principal amount of Term Loans as of the Maturity Date. Borrower may not reborrow the principal amount of any Term Loan that is repaid or prepaid (whether by voluntary prepayment or mandatory prepayment).

 3.3 Voluntary Prepayments. At any time prior to the Commitment Expiration Date, Borrower may make, on any Interest Payment Date,
voluntary prepayments of Term Loans in whole or in part with the written consent of Hermes Agent (acting at the instruction of Hermes) and Administrative Agent and upon 30 days prior written notice thereof to Administrative Agent (which notice shall
be irrevocable). At any time on or after the Commitment Expiration Date, Borrower may make voluntary prepayments of Term Loans in whole or in part without the consent of any party and upon 30 days prior written notice thereof to Administrative Agent
(which notice shall be irrevocable). Any such prepayment shall (a) include payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Loans being prepaid and any fees, breakage costs and other charges payable in connection with such a prepayment under the

 38

Section 19 of the Equipment Supply Agreement), in an amount equal to (A) during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the amount of such damages or other amounts, or (B) so long as there is not continuing any Default or
Event of Default, such portion of the amount of such damages as Hermes Agent (at the instruction of Hermes) shall designate in writing as the amount (if any) of the Term Loans no longer eligible for coverage under the Hermes Export Credit Guarantee
Documents as a result of such payment of amounts by Equipment Supplier to Borrower; 
 (ii) any failure of the Hermes Export
Credit Guarantee Documents to be effective with respect to any portion of the Term Loans, in an amount equal to such portion of the Term Loans; and 

(iii) the refund to Borrower of any Hermes Guarantee Fees by Hermes in an amount equal to the Hermes Guarantee Fee

(iv) the
Net Cash Proceeds of any insurance policy to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are in respect of Collateral (as defined in the
Security Agreement); provided, Borrower shall have no obligation to prepay the Term Loans with any Hillsboro Business Interruption Insurance Proceeds. 

Any such prepayment (including any deemed prepayment with the Hermes Guarantee Fee Refund made in accordance with
2.6.1, but excluding any prepayment made in accordance with Section 3.4(iii) if and solely to the extent the written prepayment instructions of Hermes or Hermes Agent (at the instruction
of Hermes) differ from those set forth in this paragraph) shall (A) include payment by Borrower of accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Loans being prepaid and any fees, breakage costs and other charges payable in connection with such a
prepayment under the terms of this Agreement (including Section 3.7), if any, and (B) be applied to remaining amortization payments and the payments at final maturity thereof (1) in inverse order of maturity or
(2) solely with respect to payments made in accordance with Section 3.4(i)-(iii) above, on a pro rata basis, at the option of Hermes Agent (acting at the instruction of
Hermes). Amounts prepaid as mandatory prepayments of Term Loans may not be re-borrowed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely with respect to the Net Cash Proceeds described in
Section 3.4(iv) hereof (other than the Net Cash Proceeds of Underground Equipment, to which this sentence shall not apply, and which shall be prepaid in accordance with Section 3.4(iv) hereof), so long as Borrower establishes to
Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction that such Net Cash Proceeds are sufficient to fund in full the purchase of equipment or replacement equipment for, or repair of, damaged mining equipment constituting Collateral (the consummation
of such purchase or repair, the “Reinvestment” and the act of undertaking a Reinvestment, to “Reinvest”), all of which equipment, replacement equipment and repaired equipment (collectively, the “Replacement Collateral”)
will (x) be used 

  
 39 

 for mining activities and (y) be subject to a first
priority security interest in favor of Collateral Agent (and Borrower hereby agrees to notify Administrative Agent if and when it undertakes a Reinvestment, to provide to Administrative Agent all details regarding the Replacement Collateral
reasonably requested by Administrative Agent (including without limitation, the location of the Replacement Collateral, serial numbers and descriptions of make, model and quantity of the Replacement Collateral), to grant to Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the Lenders a first priority security interest in the Replacement Collateral, and to take any action reasonably requested by Collateral Agent to create or perfect such security interest), Borrower may Reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds in
lieu of prepayment; provided that the Net Cash Proceeds Borrower intends to use for Reinvestment shall be deposited in a deposit account designated by the Collateral Agent (and at Collateral Agent’s request, subject to an account control
agreement between Borrower, Collateral Agent and the depository bank) prior to the Reinvestment, and if not Reinvested within twelve (12) months, shall be applied to prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with the first sentence of this
paragraph. 
 3.5 Making of Payments. All payments and prepayments of principal of and interest on the Term Loans, fees,
indemnities and other amounts payable by Borrower under this Agreement shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, for the benefit of Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender by
credit to an account designated by Administrative Agent, not later than 10:00 a.m. New York time on the date on which such payment shall become due. 

3.6 Increased Costs. 

3.6.1 Change in Law. If any Change in Law shall (a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or (b) impose on any Lender any other condition affecting this Agreement (other than Taxes), and the result of either of the foregoing shall
be to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) (other than for Taxes), then Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for
such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 3.6.2 Capital Adequacy. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law
regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or any of the Term Loans
made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding
company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

3.6.3 Procedure. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding
company as specified in Section 3.6.1 or 3.6.2 shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 

  
 40 

 ten days after receipt thereof. Promptly after any Lender has determined that it will make a request for
increased compensation pursuant to this Section, such Lender shall notify Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to
demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of
the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is
retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 3.7 Fixed
Interest Rate Breakage Costs. Within five Business Days following a Lender’s delivery of a written notice of the incurrence of Fixed Interest Rate Breakage Costs (which notice shall include reasonably detailed calculations with respect to
the calculation of the Fixed Interest Rate Breakage Costs), Borrower shall pay the amount of Fixed Interest Rate Breakage Costs to such Lender in accordance with Section 3.11. A written notice of a Lender as to the amount of any Fixed Interest
Rate Breakage Costs shall be conclusive absent manifest error of such Lender. 
 3.8 Taxes. 

3.8.1 Indemnified Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligation of any Credit Party under any Credit Document shall be
made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Indemnified Taxes; provided that if by law any Indemnified Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from such payments, then (a) the sum payable
shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to Indemnified Taxes payable under this Section 3.8) each Lender Party receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such deductions and withholdings for Indemnified Taxes been made, (b) such Credit Party shall make such deductions and withholdings and (c) such Credit Party shall timely pay or cause to be paid the
full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Taxing Authority in accordance with Applicable Law. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Credit Party to a Taxing Authority, such Credit Party shall
deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Taxing Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to
Administrative Agent. 
 3.8.2 Other Taxes. In addition, Borrower shall timely pay or cause to be paid any Other Taxes to the relevant
Taxing Authority in accordance with Applicable Law. 
 3.8.3 Indemnification. Borrower shall indemnify or cause to be indemnified each
Lender Party, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (other than any penalties and interest resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender Party (as finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) and without duplication of any amounts paid to such Lender Party under Section 3.8.1) paid by such Lender Party or any of its Affiliates on or with respect to 

  
 41 

 any payment by or on account of any Obligation of any Credit Party under any Credit Document (including
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.8) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Taxing Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation for such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a
Lender Party, or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of another Lender Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error of such Lender Party. 

3.8.4 Non-U.S. Lenders. Each Lender Party that is not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the
Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent two copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8EXP or Form W-8IMY, as applicable (together with any necessary attachments),
or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit
E and a Form W-8BEN, or, in each case, any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on
all payments by Borrower under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Participant that seeks the benefits
of this Section 3.8, on or before the date the relevant participation was purchased). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such
Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form or statement to Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the
U.S. Taxing Authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.8.4 or Section 3.8.5, a Lender Party shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 3.8.4 or Section 3.8.5 that
such Lender Party is not legally able to deliver. 
 3.8.5 U.S. Lenders. Each Lender Party that is a “United States person”
as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “U.S. Lender”) agrees to complete and deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent a duly completed and executed copy of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor
form) establishing that such Lender Party is not subject to U.S. backup withholding tax. Such form shall be delivered by each U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Participant that seeks the
benefits of this Section 3.8, on or before the date the relevant participation was purchased). In addition, each U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by
such U.S. Lender. 
 3.8.6 Payment Over. If any Lender Party has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which
it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.8, it shall pay over such refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or 

  
 42 

 additional amounts paid, to such Lender Party by Borrower under this Section 3.8 with respect to the
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender Party (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as determined by such Lender Party in good faith and in its sole
discretion and as will leave such Lender Party in no worse position than it would be in if such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes had been imposed, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Taxing Authority with respect to
such refund); provided that Borrower, upon receipt of the written request of such Lender Party along with a certificate of such Lender Party certifying that such refund is required to be repaid to the relevant Taxing Authority, agrees to
repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Taxing Authority) to such Lender Party in the event such Lender Party is required to repay such refund to
such Taxing Authority. This Section 3.8 shall not be construed to require any Lender Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person. 

3.9 Illegality. If it becomes unlawful under any Applicable Law for a Lender to perform any of its obligations as contemplated by this
Agreement or to fund or maintain any Term Loan, (a) such Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent upon becoming aware thereof, and (b) Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower thereof. For a period of 30 days following
such notification, such Lender shall take the steps set forth in Section 3.10.1 and, to the extent such steps are not effective, Borrower, Administrative Agent and such Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to identify a third party
assignee of the Term Loans of such Lender; provided that, during such 30-day period, such Lender shall not be required to make any Advances. If the foregoing steps are not effective within such 30-day period, notwithstanding Section 3.12
or any other provision herein to the contrary, (i) the Commitment of such Lender shall be immediately cancelled and (ii) Borrower shall repay the Term Loans of such Lender (including accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any fees,
breakage costs and charges payable in connection therewith (including pursuant to Section 3.7)) on the earlier of (A) the immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date and (B) the date specified in writing by such Lender (being no earlier
than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by Applicable Law). 
 3.10 Mitigation; Replacement of Lenders. 

3.10.1 Mitigation. If (a) any Lender requests compensation under 3.6, (b) Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.8, or (c) any Lender has notified Administrative Agent that it has become unlawful for such Lender to fund or maintain any Term Loan pursuant to
Section 3.9, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Term Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.6 or 3.8, as applicable, in the future or allow such Lender to maintain or fund
Term Loans, as applicable, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs
and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

  
 43 

 3.10.2 Replacement of Lenders. If (a) any Lender requests compensation under 3.6,
(b) Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.8, (c) any Lender has notified Administrative Agent that it has become unlawful for
such Lender to fund or maintain any Term Loan pursuant to Section 3.9 or (d) any Lender has become a Defaulting Lender, then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and Administrative Agent, require such
Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.7), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations
(which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld),
(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Term Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such
outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.6 or payments required to be made
pursuant to Section 3.8, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments to such new Lender. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that Borrower may have against any Lender that is a
Defaulting Lender. 
 3.11 Payments Generally. Unless otherwise specified, Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it
hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or of amounts payable under Section 3.6, 3.7 or 3.8 or otherwise) prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for
any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating
interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to Borrower by Administrative Agent, except that payments pursuant to Sections 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 12.10 shall be made directly to the
Persons entitled thereto. Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that
is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (or, in the event that the next succeeding Business Day falls in the succeeding calendar month, the immediately preceding Business Day), and, in the
case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder of (a) principal or interest in respect of any Term Loan or (b) any other amount due hereunder or under any other
Credit Document shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps
to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or 

  
 44 

 
settlement system used by Administrative Agent to make such payment. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such
Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of (i) the Overnight LIBO Rate and (ii) a rate reasonably
determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then Administrative Agent
may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such sentence until all such
unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 3.12 Pro Rata Treatment. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to
Administrative Agent from Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due from Borrower hereunder, such funds shall be applied towards payment of principal, interest and fees then due from Borrower in a manner directed by
Hermes Agent (acting at the instruction of Hermes) and ratably among the parties entitled to such amounts. 
 3.13 Sharing of Set-off.
If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Term Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of
its Term Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Term Loans of other Lenders to the extent
necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (a) if any such participations are
purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (b) the provisions of this
Section 3.13 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a
participation in any of its Term Loans to any assignee or Participant, other than to Borrower (as to which the provisions of this Section 3.13 shall apply). Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so
under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against Borrower’s rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a
direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.

7.3 No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance of the Credit Documents to which Borrower is a party by Borrower, the
borrowings hereunder by Borrower and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Applicable Law, any material Mine Document or any Organizational Document of Borrower and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any

necessary to conduct its business as currently conducted and to utilize such properties for their intended purpose at such time. The properties of Borrower that are material to its business, taken as a whole, are in good operating order, condition
and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted) constitutes all the property that is required for the business and operations of Borrower as conducted on the date this representation is made or repeated. 

7.11 Intellectual Property. Borrower owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as
currently conducted. No material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor does Borrower know of any valid
basis for any such claim in each case, that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The use of Intellectual Property by Borrower does not infringe on the rights of any Person in such Intellectual Property in any material
respect. 

  
 55 

 7.12 Taxes. 

7.12.1 Filing; Payment. Borrower (a) has timely filed or caused to be timely filed all federal and material other Tax returns
required to have been filed by or with respect to it, and each such Tax return is complete and accurate in all material respects and (b) has timely paid or caused to be timely paid all material Taxes shown thereon to be due and payable by it
and all other material Taxes or assessments (other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the
books of Borrower). 
 7.12.2 No Liens. (a) No Liens for material Taxes (other than General Permitted Liens) have been filed with
respect to the assets of Borrower, and no unresolved claim has been asserted in writing to Borrower or its Affiliates or members with respect to any material Taxes of Borrower, and (b) no waiver or agreement by Borrower is in force for the

Section 1.6011-4) or made any disclosure under Treasury Regulation 
Section 1.6011-4. 
 7.13 Federal Regulations.
Borrower is not engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of any Term Loan will be used, whether directly or
indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, (a) to purchase or carry Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock or to refund indebtedness originally incurred for such
purpose, or (b) for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the provisions of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulation U or Regulation X. 

7.14 ERISA. Borrower, each ERISA Affiliate and each Plan is in compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and
the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder, except for failures to so comply which could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur
that would subject Borrower to any Tax, penalty or other liabilities, which Tax, penalty or other liabilities which individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The excess in the present value
of all benefit liabilities under each Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plan), as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, over the fair market value of the assets of such Plan could not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a 

  
 56 

 
Material Adverse Effect. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan, the potential liability of Borrower and its ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such
Multiemployer Plan, when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, is zero. Borrower and each of its ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with

the Deer Run Mine, so long as Borrower is diligently attempting to end such suspension or unavailability; provided, further, the Hillsboro Mining Event, including the damage or abandonment for
any period of time of the Deer Run Mine in connection therewith, shall not constitute an Event of Default.

 SECTION 11. AGENTS 

11.1 Appointment. In connection with the transactions contemplated herein and in the other Finance Documents, each Lender hereby
appoints (a) Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank to act as Administrative Agent and (b) Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank Deutschland, Niederlassung einer französischen Société Anonyme
to act as Hermes Agent, and authorizes each such Agent to exercise such rights, powers, authorities and discretions as are specifically delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents, together with all such
rights, powers, authorities and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto. By its signature below, (i) Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank (and any successor thereto pursuant to Section 11.7) accepts such
appointment as Administrative Agent and (ii) Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank Deutschland, Niederlassung einer französischen Société Anonyme (and any successor thereto pursuant to Section 11.7)
accepts such appointment as Hermes Agent. Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Lenders and Hermes Agent (which Lenders and Hermes Agent hereby authorize Administrative Agent to), appoint a Person to act as Collateral Agent under the Security
Agreement, and such Person, upon such appointment, shall be an express third party beneficiary of, and shall be entitled to rely upon and enforce the provisions of, this Agreement that are applicable to such Person in its capacity as Collateral
Agent. 
 11.2 Duties and Responsibilities. No Agent shall have any fiduciary duties or responsibilities except those expressly set
out in this Agreement or in the other Finance Documents to which such Agent is a party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Finance Document, no Agent shall be required to take any action which is contrary to Applicable Law. An
Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. 

  
 74 

 11.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither an Agent nor any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Finance Document (except to the extent that
any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible in any
manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Credit Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Finance Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other
document referred to or provided for in, or received by such Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Finance Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or
any other Finance Document or for any failure of any Credit Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the
agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Finance Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party. 

11.4 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing,
resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person
or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Credit Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Each Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Term Note as the owner thereof for
all purposes unless such Term Note shall have been transferred in accordance with Section 12.7 and all actions required by such Section in connection with such transfer shall have been taken. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or
refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Finance Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of
Lenders specified by this Agreement) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such
action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all
Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Term Loans. 

11.5 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and
without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Proportionate Shares in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought

  
 75 

 
after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Term Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Proportionate Shares immediately prior to such
date), for, and to save each Agent harmless from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including at any
time following the payment of the Term Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Finance Documents, or any documents contemplated by
or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any
portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and
proximately from an Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Term Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

11.6 Each Agent in its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage
in any kind of business with any Credit Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Term Loans made or renewed by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents as any
Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity. 

11.7 Successor Agent. An Agent may resign as such upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and Borrower. If an Agent shall resign as
such under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing) be subject to approval by Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the applicable Agent, and the term “Administrative
Agent” or “Hermes Agent”, as the case may be, means such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s or Hermes Agent’s, as the case may be, rights, powers and duties as
such shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Term Loans. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment by the date that is 10 days
following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of such Agent hereunder until such time, if any,
as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Section 11.7 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it
was an Agent under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents. 

  
 76 

 11.8 Withholding. To the extent required by any Applicable Law, Administrative Agent may
withhold from any payment to any Lender Party an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Taxing Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Administrative Agent
did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender Party (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender Party failed to notify Administrative Agent of a change in
circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective, or for any other reason), or Administrative Agent has paid over to the Internal Revenue Service or other Governmental Authority applicable withholding Tax
relating to a payment to a Lender but no deduction has been made from such payment, such Lender Party shall indemnify and hold Administrative Agent harmless for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Administrative Agent, as Tax or otherwise,
including penalties and interest, and including any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to Administrative Agent under this Section 11.8, together with all costs and expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses). The
obligation of the Lender Parties under this Section 11.8 shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent. 

11.9 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default
hereunder unless such Agent shall have received notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that an Agent
shall receive such a notice, such Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. An Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this
Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement); provided that, unless and until such Agent shall have received such directions, such Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. 

11.10 Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents. 

11.10.1 Actions. Unless otherwise instructed in writing by the Required Lenders, Hermes Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders)
shall, by written notice to Hermes, issue demand notices and otherwise make claims for payment under the Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents if it is entitled to do so at such time pursuant thereto and shall exercise any and all rights and
remedies available under the Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11. 
 11.10.2
Compliance. Each Lender hereby (a) acknowledges that it will review the Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents promptly following the issuance thereof and will be familiar with the terms thereof and (b) agrees that it will
cooperate with Hermes Agent and will itself take such actions and/or refrain from taking such actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure (i) compliance with the terms of the Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents and (ii) the
continuing validity of the Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents and the ability to make claims thereunder.

 12.2 Borrower’s Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to make payments hereunder
and to observe and perform all of its other obligations under this Agreement are (subject to the terms of this Agreement) unconditional and irrevocable obligations of Borrower and accordingly shall not be conditional on performance by any Lender
Party of any obligations save such as may be specified in this Agreement as required to be performed in order to give rise to a relevant obligation of Borrower thereunder. For certainty, Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement shall not be
conditional upon, or in any way related to, performance by Equipment Supplier under the Equipment Supply Agreement. 
 12.3 Voting.

 12.3.1 Voting and Non-Voting Lenders. Subject to Section 12.3.2, in each instance that Administrative Agent, Hermes Agent or
the Lenders is or are required to cast a vote with respect to any consent, waiver, approval, determination, direction or other action in accordance with the Credit Documents and an Equipment Supplier Disbursement Certificate, a vote shall be taken
among the Lenders within the period of time specified by Administrative Agent; provided however that no Non-Voting Lender shall be entitled to participate in any vote under this Agreement with respect to any Commitment or any Term Loan
held by such Person. Each Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent in writing in the event that it is or becomes a Non-Voting Lender. The number of votes allocated to each Lender will be calculated based on its Proportionate Share. 

12.3.2 Hermes-Directed Votes. In the event that Hermes Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that Hermes has requested, advised,
instructed or required any Lender Party to vote in a certain manner or in favor of a certain result with respect to any consent, waiver, approval, determination, direction or other action or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action
relating to the Credit Documents or an Equipment Supplier Disbursement Certificate, Hermes Agent shall promptly notify each other applicable Lender Party of such determination, and each such Lender Party shall, for all purposes hereunder and
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (other than the proviso to this Section 12.3.2), be deemed as of the date indicated in such notification, to have cast its vote in such manner or in favor of such result, or to have otherwise
consented to such action or inaction, and to have instructed Hermes Agent accordingly; provided however that such deemed vote, consent or instruction may be superseded by any actual vote, consent or instruction of all Lenders, and such
superseding action of the Lenders shall take precedence over any such deemed action. Each Lender acknowledges that any such superseding action may cause the revocation or termination of the Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents and the loss of
any and all cover and other benefits thereunder. For certainty, the indemnity of Section 11.5 shall apply to 

  
 79 

 
any action or inaction of Hermes Agent taken in connection with any such superseding vote, consent or instruction of the Lenders, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Hermes Agent, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 12.3.3
Determination of Voting Percentages. The percentage of Lenders consenting to, approving, waiving or providing direction with respect to a decision shall be calculated as a fraction (expressed as a percentage) (a) the numerator of which
shall be the number of votes cast in favor of the proposed consent, approval, waiver, direction or other action and (b) the denominator of which shall be the total number of votes entitled to be cast with respect to such matter. In the event
any Lender does not cast its votes within the period of time specified by Administrative Agent, the vote of such Lender shall be excluded from both the numerator and denominator of the fraction described in the preceding sentence. Any Lender that
does not cast its vote hereby, or is deemed to have cast its vote pursuant to Section 12.3.2, waives any and all rights it may have to object to or seek relief from the decision of the Lenders voting, or deemed to be voting, with respect to
such issue and agrees to be bound by such decision. Nothing contained in this Section 12.3.3 shall preclude any Lender from participating in any re-voting or further voting relating to such matter (including pursuant to the proviso to Section
12.3.2). 
 12.4 Amendments or Waivers. 

12.4.1 No Deemed Waiver. No failure or delay of any Lender, Administrative Agent or Hermes Agent in exercising any right or power
hereunder or under any other Finance Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right or power, preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Lenders, Administrative Agent and Hermes Agent under the Finance Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies
that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Finance Document or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 12.4.2, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 

12.4.2 Consent of Certain Lenders. Neither this Agreement nor any other Finance Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be
waived, amended or modified except (a) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Borrower and the Required Lenders and (b) in the case of any other Finance Document, pursuant to an
agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each party thereto and consented to by the Required Lenders (except where the provisions of any Finance Document expressly provide otherwise); provided that no such agreement shall: 

(A) decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or extend the final maturity of, or decrease the rate of interest (other than
with respect to default interest) on, any Term Loan without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; 

  
 80 

 (B) extend or waive any date for payment of principal of any Term Loan (including
the Maturity Date) or reduce the amount due on any such date without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby; 

(C) amend or modify the provisions of Section 3.3, 3.4, 3.12 or 3.13 in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro
rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby; 

(D) amend or modify the provisions of this Section 12.4 or the definition of the terms “Required Lenders”,
“Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of
each Lender adversely affected thereby; 
 (E) release the Foresight Guaranty or the Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents
prior to the Discharge Date without the prior written consent of each Lender (unless otherwise permitted pursuant to the Credit Documents); or 

(F) amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of Administrative Agent or Hermes Agent hereunder without the prior
written consent of Administrative Agent or Hermes Agent, respectively, acting as such at the effective date of such agreement. 
 Each Lender shall be bound
by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section shall bind any assignee of such Lender. 

12.4.3 Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents. If at any time any Lender Party or Borrower becomes aware of any circumstances that
could reasonably be expected to result in the loss of cover under the Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents, either in whole or in part, such Person shall immediately inform Hermes Agent thereof, and Borrower and Hermes Agent shall consult and
negotiate with each other to find a mutually acceptable solution which best addresses the effect of such circumstances, including modifying or deleting the relevant provision or otherwise amending this Agreement; provided that this
Section 12.4.3 shall not in any way limit the rights and remedies of the Lender Parties under this Agreement upon a Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Document failing to remain in full force and effect. 

12.4.4 Certain Permitted Modifications. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 12.4, Borrower and Administrative
Agent and/or Hermes Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) amend or supplement the Credit Documents or an Equipment Supplier Disbursement Certificate without the consent of any Lender for the purpose of (a) curing any ambiguity, defect or
inconsistency and (b) making any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Lenders. 

  
 81 

 12.5 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made
by Borrower in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement (including each Equipment Supplier Disbursement Certificate) or any
other Credit Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Term Loans, the execution and delivery of the Credit Documents, regardless of any investigation made by such Persons
or on their behalf, and all obligations of Borrower under this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the Discharge Date. 

12.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including any agreement, document or instrument attached hereto or referred to herein, integrates
all the terms and conditions mentioned herein or incidental hereto and supersedes all oral negotiations and prior agreements and understandings of the parties hereto in respect to the subject matter hereof. 

12.7 Successors and Assigns. 

12.7.1 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Borrower and the Agents and when
Administrative Agent shall have received copies hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, each Lender Party and their
respective successors and permitted assigns, except that (a) Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the prior written consent of each Lender (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Hermes Agent (acting at the instruction of Hermes), and any attempted assignment or transfer by Borrower without such consent shall be null and void, and (b) no Lender may assign or
otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors
and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in Section 12.7.3 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Lender Parties) and Indemnitees (with respect to Section 12.8.2)) any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 12.7.2 Assignments. 

(A) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (B) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of Borrower and Hermes Agent
(acting at the instruction of Hermes); provided that no consent of Borrower shall be required (1) for any assignment of any Term Loan to an Eligible Assignee (other than an Approved Fund that invests primarily in distressed assets) or
(2) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

  
 82 

 (B) Assignments shall be subject to each of the following additional conditions:

  

	 	(1)	except in the case of an assignment to an Eligible Assignee or anassignmentan assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Term Loans, the amount of the Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative Agent) shall not
be less than $7,500,000, unless Borrower and Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 

 

	 	(2)	each partial assignment of Term Loans shall be made as anassignmentan assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement; and 

  

	 	(3)	the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance. 

(C) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (D) of this Section, from and after the effective
date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the
assigning Lender hereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 12.10 subject to the obligation of such Lender therein). Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in
accordance with Section 12.7.3. 
 (D) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (B)(1) of this Section,

this paragraph. 

  
 83 

 (E) An assignee shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Sections 3.6, 3.7 or 3.8 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the interest assigned to such assignee. An assignee shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.8 to the extent such assignee fails
to comply with Section 3.8.4 or 3.8.5, as applicable. 
 12.7.3 Participations. 

(A) Any Lender may, without the consent of Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other
entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loans owing to it); provided that (a) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (c) Borrower and the Lender Parties shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument (oral or written) pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such
Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; provided that (i) such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 12.3.1 or paragraphs (A), (B), (C), (D) or (E) of the proviso
to Section 12.4.2 that affects such Participant and (B) no other agreement (oral or written) with respect to such Participant may exist between such Lender and such Participant. Subject to paragraph (B) of this Section, Borrower
agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.6, 3.7 or 3.8 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.7.2. To the extent permitted by law, each
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.9 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.13 as though it were a Lender. 

(B) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.6, 3.7 or 3.8 than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld). A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.8 to the extent such Participant fails to comply with Section 3.8.4 or 3.8.5, as applicable, as though it were a Lender. 

  
 84 

 (C) Each Lender that sells a participation shall maintain a register on which it
enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of each Participant’s interest in the Term Loans (or other rights or obligations) held by it (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant
Register shall be conclusive, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such Term Loan (or other right or obligation) hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any such Participant Register shall be available for inspection by an Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

12.7.4 Pledge. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge
or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 12.8.2 Indemnification. Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender Party and each of their respective directors, trustees, officers,
employees, affiliates, investment advisors and agents (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses,
including reasonable and documented counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or

willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Subject to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, Borrower agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against, and hold
each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable and documented counsel or consultant fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising

or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The provisions of this Section shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the
expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document,
or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Lender Party. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable within 30 days at the written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement,
indemnification or other amount requested. 
 12.8.3 No Consequential Damages. No Indemnitee shall be liable for, and Borrower hereby
agrees not to assert any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for consequential, incidental, indirect, punitive or special damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Credit Documents, any of the transactions
contemplated in the Credit Documents or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Term Loans.

Section 12.8 shall not apply to Taxes.

such Lender in accordance with Applicable Law, the rate of interest payable hereunder or any other Credit Document, together with all Charges payable to such Lender, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate, provided that such excess amount shall
be paid to such Lender on subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation. 

  
 86

the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of Borrower’s obligations hereunder, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to Applicable Law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by Administrative Agent,

entity-level Tax for state, local or foreign income or franchise Tax purposes. Borrower has not engaged in any “listed transaction” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) or made any disclosure under Treasury Regulation
Section 1.6011-4. 
 (n) Federal Regulations. Borrower is not engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the
business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of any Term Loan have been or will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, (a) to
purchase or carry Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock or to refund indebtedness originally incurred for such purpose, or (b) for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is
inconsistent with, the provisions of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulation U or Regulation X. 
 (o) ERISA. Borrower,
each ERISA Affiliate and each Plan is in compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder, except for failures to so comply which could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that would subject Borrower to any Tax, penalty or other liabilities, which Tax, penalty or other liabilities which individually or in
the aggregate could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The excess in the present value of all benefit liabilities under each Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plan), as of the last annual valuation date
applicable thereto, over the fair market value of the assets of such Plan could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan,
the potential liability of Borrower and its ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan, when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, is zero. Borrower and each of
its ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to any payments
to a Multiemployer Plan. 
 (p) Black Lung Act and Coal Act. Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, (a) Borrower and each of its Affiliates are in compliance with both the Black Lung Act and the Coal Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder, (b) none of Borrower or any of its Affiliates has incurred any liability under 

  
 33 

 the Black Lung Act, Coal Act and their respective regulations, (c) Borrower, each of its
Affiliates and their respective “related persons” (as defined in Section 9701(c) of the Code) are in compliance with the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992 and any regulations promulgated thereunder, and (d) none of
Borrower, any of its Affiliates or their respective “related persons” has incurred any liability under the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992. 

(q) Investment Company Act. Borrower is not an “investment company” within the meaning of or otherwise subject to regulation
under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
 (r) Environmental Matters – Compliance. Other than exceptions to any of
the following that (a) could not reasonably be expected to result in liability to Borrower in excess of $5,000,000 or (b) could not (individually or in the aggregate) reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: 

(i) Borrower (1) is, and has been, in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; (2) holds all Environmental or Mining
Permits (each of which is in full force and effect) required for its current operations (including all Environmental or Mining Permits required for the Mining Facilities or any active construction or expansion thereof); and (3) is, and has
been, in compliance with its Environmental or Mining Permits; 
 (ii) Borrower has no reason to expect that (1) any action or
challenge would result in the preclusion of the issuance of, or the revocation or termination of, any of its Environmental or Mining Permits or (2) any Environmental or Mining Permits necessary for the Mining Facilities or any other reasonably
foreseeable operations or expansions (including any renewals of existing Environmental or Mining Permits) will not be obtainable in the ordinary course of the applicable permitting processes; 

(iii) there has been no Hazardous Materials Activity by Borrower at, on, under, in, or about any Real Property now or formerly owned,
leased or operated by Borrower or at any other location (including any location to which Hazardous Materials have been sent for re-use or recycling or for treatment, storage, or disposal) which could reasonably be expected to (1) give rise to
liability of Borrower under any applicable Environmental Law or otherwise result in costs to Borrower, (2) interfere with Borrower’s operations or (3) impair the fair saleable value of any Real Property owned or leased by Borrower;
provided however that, in the case of this clause (3), Borrower may have engaged in Hazardous Materials Activities typically engaged in by a reasonably prudent Person engaged in coal mining, processing and selling activities and that are in
compliance with Environmental Law; 

  
 34 

 (iv) there are no pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened Environmental or Mining
Claims related to Borrower or the Sugar Camp Mine; 
 (v) Borrower has not received any written request for information, or been
notified that it is a potentially responsible party under or relating to any Environmental Law; 
 (vi) Borrower has not entered into
or agreed to any consent decree, order, or settlement or other agreement, or is subject to any judgment, decree, or order or other agreement, in any judicial, administrative, arbitral, or other forum for dispute resolution, relating to compliance
with or liability under any Environmental Law; 
 (vii) Borrower has not assumed or retained, by contract or operation of law, any
current liabilities of any kind, fixed or contingent, under any Environmental Law or with respect to any Hazardous Material; 

(viii) there are no Black Lung Liabilities pending, threatened against Borrower, nor have any Black Lung Liabilities been assumed by
Borrower; and 
 (ix) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby will not require any notification, registration, filing, reporting, disclosure, investigation, response, remediation or cleanup pursuant to any Environmental Law. 

(x) There have not been any Mining Accidents with respect to the Mining Facilities that would reasonably be expected to (a) result
in liability in excess of $5,000,000 or (b) have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (xi) Borrower
has not been (a) barred for a period of 30 or more consecutive days from receiving surface or underground Environmental or Mining Permits pursuant to the permit blockage provisions of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act, 30 U.S.C.
§§1201 et seq. and the regulations promulgated thereunder or pursuant to any other Environmental Law or (b) been subject to any injunction or closure order pursuant to any Mining Law or pursuant to any Environmental or Mining Permit.

 (xii) Access to Administrative Agent. Borrower has provided Administrative Agent with access to all Properties of Borrower and all
material records and files in the possession, custody or control of, or otherwise reasonably available to Borrower concerning compliance with or liability under Environmental Law, including those concerning any Hazardous Materials Activity at the
Mining Facilities. 

  
 35 

 (s) Solvency. Borrower is, and after giving effect to this Seventh Amendment, the
transactions contemplated by the other Credit Documents and the incurrence of all Indebtedness and obligations being incurred in connection therewith, will be Solvent. 

(t) Sufficiency of Rights. All easements, leasehold and other property interests, and all utility and other services, means of
transportation, facilities, other materials and other rights that can reasonably be expected to be necessary for the construction, completion, operation and maintenance of the Sugar Camp Mine in accordance with Applicable Law and the Transaction
Documents (including gas, electrical, water and sewage services and facilities) have been procured under the Mine Documents or are commercially available to the Sugar Camp Mine, and, to the extent appropriate, arrangements have been made on
commercially reasonable terms for such easements, interests, services, means of transportation, facilities, materials and rights. 
 (u)
Governmental Approvals. No material Governmental Approval is or will be required in connection with (a) the due execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Credit Documents to which it is a party or (b) the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereunder by Borrower, other than (i) such as have been made or obtained and are in full force and effect, (ii) any Governmental Approvals that are not yet necessary for the business, operations, ownership
and maintenance of the Sugar Camp Mine as currently conducted, and (iii) such as are required by securities, regulatory or Applicable Law in connection with an exercise of remedies. 

(v) Insurance. Borrower maintains with financially sound and reputable insurance companies insurance on all its Property of the type and
in at least such amounts and against at least such risks (but including in any event public liability, product liability and business interruption) as are usually insured against in the same general area by companies engaged in the same or a similar
business, all applicable policies are in full force and effect and all premiums in respect thereof have been paid in full, and, solely with respect to policies insuring Collateral, as defined in the Security Agreement, such policies name
Administrative Agent as lender loss payee and additional insured thereunder. Borrower (a) has not received notice from any insurer or agent of such insurer that substantial capital improvements or other material expenditures will have to be
made in order to continue such insurance and (b) has no reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers at a cost that
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (w) Foreign Assets Control Regulations. The use of the proceeds
of the Term Loans by Borrower will not violate the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 C.F.R., Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) or any enabling
legislation or executive order relating thereto. No Credit Party (a) is or will become a Person or entity described by section 1 of Executive Order 13224 of September 24, 2001 Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who
Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism (12 C.F.R. 595), and no Credit Party engages in dealings or transactions with any such Persons or entities, or (b) is in violation of the USA PATRIOT Act. 

  
 36

interests in such right, title and interest Borrower shall from time to time have in all personal property included in the collateral described in the Security Agreement, (b) such security interests are subject to no Liens other than General
Permitted Liens or Equipment Permitted Liens, as applicable, (c) except to the extent that any filing or recording is required for perfection, all such action as is necessary has been taken to establish and perfect Collateral Agent’s
rights in and to the collateral granted pursuant to the Security Agreement, and (d) Borrower has authorized the filings and recordings by the Lender Parties required for the perfection of the security interests described above by filing or
recording. 
 7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF GUARANTOR. Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof,
after giving effect to this Seventh Amendment (except as such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such earlier date): 

(a) Existence; Compliance with Law. Guarantor (a) is duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the

qualified as a foreign limited liability company and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of Property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and (d) is in compliance
with all Applicable Laws except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided however, that where such compliance relates to any Anti-Corruption
Laws or Sanctions, Guarantor is in compliance in all respects and subject to no exceptions. Guarantor has conducted its businesses in material compliance with applicable Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Neither Guarantor nor any of its directors,
officers or, to Guarantor’s knowledge, any of its Affiliates, agents or employees (i) has taken any action that would constitute or give rise to a violation of any Anti-Corruption Law or (ii) is or has been subject to any action,
proceeding, litigation, claim or, to Guarantor’s knowledge, investigation with regard to any actual or alleged violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws or Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Neither Guarantor nor any of its directors, officers or, to

(b) Power; Authorization; Enforceability. Guarantor has the power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform this
Seventh Amendment. Guarantor has taken all necessary limited liability company action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Seventh Amendment. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in
respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. This Seventh Amendment has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of Guarantor. This Seventh Amendment and the
Guaranty constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar
laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). 

(c) No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance of this Seventh Amendment by Guarantor will not violate any Applicable Law or
any Contractual Obligation or Organizational Document of Guarantor and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of its respective Properties or revenues pursuant to any Applicable Law or any such Contractual
Obligation.

Guarantor as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, present fairly the financial condition and results of operation and cash flows of Guarantor as of such date and for
such period. The unaudited balance sheet and the related statements of income, stockholder’s equity and cash flow of Guarantor as of and for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2016, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each
Lender, present fairly the financial condition and results of operations and cash flows of Guarantor as of such date and for such periods. 

  
 38 

 (ii) No Contingent Liabilities. Guarantor does not have any material contingent
liability, liability for Taxes or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, in each case, that was
outstanding or otherwise in existence during any of the periods described in Section 7(e)(i) that are not reflected in the financial statements described in Section 7(e)(i). 

(f) No Litigation. Except as disclosed in Schedule A hereto, no litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any
arbitrator or Governmental Authority (including under any Environmental Law or Mining Law) is pending or, to the knowledge of Guarantor, threatened by or against Guarantor or any of its Properties or revenues (a) with respect to this Seventh
Amendment, the Guaranty or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(g) No Default. Guarantor is not in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations that would, either individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, nor will any default result from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Seventh Amendment. 

(h) Accuracy of Information, etc. No statement or information contained in this Seventh Amendment or the Guaranty or any other document,
certificate or statement furnished to any Lender Party by or on behalf of Guarantor for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents, taken as a whole, contained as of the date such statement, information, document or
certificate was so furnished, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading. As of the date hereof, there is no fact known to
Guarantor that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been expressly disclosed herein or in the other Credit Documents. 

(i) Taxes. Guarantor (a) has timely filed or caused to be timely filed all federal and material other Tax returns required to have
been filed by or with respect to it, and each such Tax return is complete and accurate in all material respects and (b) has timely paid or caused to be timely paid all material Taxes shown thereon to be due and payable by it and all other
material Taxes or assessments (other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of
Guarantor). 
 (j) Investment Company Act. Guarantor is not an “investment company” within the meaning of or otherwise

 39 

 (m) Knowledge of Borrower. Guarantor has knowledge of Borrower’s financial condition
and affairs and has adequate means to obtain from Borrower, on an ongoing basis, information relating thereto and to Borrower’s ability to pay and perform the Obligations, and agrees to assume the responsibility for keeping, and to keep, so
informed for so long as this Seventh Amendment is in effect. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the Lender Parties shall have no obligation to investigate the financial condition or affairs of Guarantor nor to advise Guarantor of any fact
respecting, or any change in, the financial condition or affairs of Borrower that might become known to any Lender Party at any time, whether or not such Lender Party knows or believes, or has reasons to know or believe, that such fact or change is
unknown to Guarantor, or might, or does, materially increase the risk of Guarantor as guarantor, or might, or would, affect the willingness of Guarantor to continue as a guarantor of the Obligations. 

(n) Substantial Benefit. It is in the best interest of Guarantor to execute this Seventh Amendment and to have executed the Guaranty
inasmuch as Guarantor has derived substantial direct and indirect benefit from the Term Loans and Guarantor agrees that the Lender Parties are relying on this representation in agreeing to enter into this Seventh Amendment with the Credit Parties.

 8. RATIFICATION AND RELEASE. 

(a) Ratification. Each Credit Party hereby (i) ratifies and reaffirms all of its payment and performance obligations, contingent or
otherwise, and each grant of security interests and liens in favor of Administrative Agent, Hermes Agent, Collateral Agent and the Lenders, as the case may be, under each Finance Document to which it is a party, (ii) agrees and acknowledges
that the liens in favor of Collateral Agent for the benefit of the undersigned Lender (constituting all Lenders under the Credit Agreement as of the Effective Date) under the Security Agreement constitute valid, binding, enforceable and perfected
first priority liens and security interests and are not subject to avoidance, disallowance or subordination pursuant to any requirement of Applicable Law, (iii) agrees and acknowledges the Obligations constitute legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Credit Parties and that (A) no offsets, defenses or counterclaims to the Obligations or any other causes of action with respect to the Obligations or the Finance Documents exist and (B) no portion of the Obligations is
subject to avoidance, disallowance, reduction or subordination pursuant to any requirement of Applicable Law, (iv) acknowledges and agrees that as of the Effective Date, (A) the Outstanding Amount of the Term Loans is $44,820,085.88,
(v) agrees that such ratification and reaffirmation is not a condition to the continued effectiveness of the Finance Documents, and (vi) agrees that neither such ratification and reaffirmation, nor Administrative Agent’s nor any
Lender’s solicitation of such ratification and reaffirmation, constitutes a course of dealing giving rise to any obligation or condition requiring a similar or any other ratification or reaffirmation from each party to the Credit Agreement with
respect to any subsequent modifications, consent or waiver with respect to the Credit Agreement or other Finance Documents. This Seventh Amendment shall constitute a “Credit Document” for purposes of the Credit Agreement. 

  
 40 

 (b) Release; Covenant Not to Sue; Acknowledgement. 

(i) Each Credit Party hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and forever discharges each Agent and each Lender and each of their
respective Related Parties (each a “Released Party”) from any and all claims, demands or causes of action of any kind, nature or description, whether arising in law or equity or upon contract or tort or under any state or federal
law or otherwise, which any Credit Party has had, now has or has made claim to have against any such Person for or by reason of any act, omission, matter, cause or thing whatsoever arising from the beginning of time to and including the Effective
Date arising out of or in connection with the Obligations, the Credit Agreement, this Seventh Amendment or any other Transaction Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, whether such claims, demands and causes of action are
matured or unmatured or known or unknown. It is the intention of each Credit Party in providing this release that the same shall be effective as a bar to each and every claim, demand and cause of action specified. Each Credit Party acknowledges that
it may hereafter discover facts different from or in addition to those now known or believed to be true with respect to such claims, demands, or causes of action and agrees that this instrument shall be and remain effective in all respects
notwithstanding any such differences or additional facts. Each Credit Party understands, acknowledges and agrees that the release set forth above may be pleaded as a full and complete defense and may be used as a basis for an injunction against any
action, suit or other proceeding which may be instituted, prosecuted or attempted in breach of the provisions of such release. 
 (ii) Each
Credit Party, on behalf of itself and its successors, assigns, and other legal representatives, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, covenants and agrees with and in favor of each Released Party above that it will not sue (at law, in
equity, in any regulatory proceeding or otherwise) any Released Party on the basis of any claim released, remised and discharged by any Credit Party pursuant to the above release. If any Credit Party or any of their successors, assigns or other
legal representatives violates the foregoing covenant, each Credit Party, for itself and its successors, assigns and legal representatives, agrees to pay, in addition to such other damages as any Released Party may sustain as a result of such
violation, all documented and reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by such Released Party as a result of such violation. 

  
 41 

 (iii) Each Credit Party represents and warrants that, to its knowledge, there are no
liabilities, claims, suits, debts, liens, losses, causes of action, demands, rights, damages or costs, or expenses of any kind, character or nature whatsoever, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, which any Credit Party may have or claim to have
against any Released Party arising with respect to the Obligations, the Credit Agreement, this Seventh Amendment or any other Transaction Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 

(iv) Each of the Credit Parties has been advised by counsel with respect to the release contained in this Section 8(b).

Guaranty and the other Finance Documents are and shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed. The execution and delivery of this Seventh Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, constitute a waiver or
amendment of (a) any provision of any Finance Document or (b) any right, power or remedy of Administrative Agent, Hermes Agent or Lender under any Finance Document, including rights, powers and remedies arising out of or relating to any
existing Defaults or Events of Default, other than as expressly set forth herein. No course of dealing and no failure or delay by Administrative Agent, Hermes Agent or Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy under any Finance Document shall
operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice the rights, powers or remedies of Administrative Agent, Hermes Agent or Lender. From and after the date hereof, (i) all references to the “Credit Agreement” contained in the Finance
Documents shall be deemed to refer to the Amended Credit Agreement (as the same may be further amended, supplemented or modified from time to time) and (ii) all references to the “Foresight Guaranty” contained in the Finance Documents
shall be deemed to refer to the Amended Foresight Energy Guaranty (as the same may be further amended, supplemented or modified from time to time). 

10. SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Seventh Amendment that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate nor render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 11. GOVERNING LAW. THIS SEVENTH AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
UNDER THIS SEVENTH AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

12. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BORROWER, GUARANTOR AND EACH LENDER PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS SEVENTH AMENDMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN. 

  
 42 

 13. COUNTERPARTS. This Seventh Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts by
the parties hereto, each of which counterparts when so executed shall be an original, but all the counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Seventh Amendment by facsimile or
other electronic transmission shall have the same effect as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to Indemnified Taxes payable under this Section 3.8) each Lender Party receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such deductions and withholdings for Indemnified Taxes been made, (b) such Credit Party shall make such deductions and withholdings and (c) such Credit Party shall timely pay or cause to be paid the
full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Taxing Authority in accordance with Applicable Law. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Credit Party to a Taxing Authority, such Credit Party shall

Taxing Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) and without duplication of any amounts paid to such Lender Party under Section 3.8.1) paid by such Lender Party or any of its Affiliates on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any
Obligation of any Credit Party under any Credit Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.8) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Taxing Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability and setting forth in reasonable detail the
calculation for such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender Party, or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of another Lender Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error of such Lender Party. 

  
 41 

 3.8.4 Non-U.S. Lenders. Each Lender Party that is not a “United States person”
as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent two copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8EXP or Form W-8IMY, as

interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit E and a Form W-8BEN, or, in each case, any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete
exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by Borrower under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to
this Agreement (or, in the case of a Participant that seeks the benefits of this Section 3.8, on or before the date the relevant participation was purchased). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the
obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered
form or statement to Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. Taxing Authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.8.4 or Section 3.8.5, a Lender Party shall not be required to
deliver any form pursuant to this Section 3.8.4 or Section 3.8.5 that such Lender Party is not legally able to deliver. 
 3.8.5
U.S. Lenders. Each Lender Party that is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “U.S. Lender”) agrees to complete and deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent a duly

upon the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such U.S. Lender. 
 3.8.6 Payment Over. If any
Lender Party has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.8, it shall pay over such refund
to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, to such Lender Party by Borrower under this Section 3.8 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender Party (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as determined by such Lender Party in good faith and in its sole discretion and as will leave such Lender Party in no worse position than it would
be in if such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes had been imposed, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Taxing Authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrower, upon receipt of the written request of
such Lender Party along with a certificate of such Lender Party certifying that such refund is required to be repaid to the relevant Taxing Authority, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Taxing Authority) to such Lender Party in the event such Lender Party is required to repay such refund to such Taxing Authority. This Section 3.8 shall not be construed to require any
Lender Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person. 

  
 42 

 3.9 Illegality. If it becomes unlawful under any Applicable Law for a Lender to perform
any of its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement or to fund or maintain any Term Loan, (a) such Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent upon becoming aware thereof, and (b) Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
Borrower thereof. For a period of 30 days following such notification, such Lender shall take the steps set forth in Section 3.10.1 and, to the extent such steps are not effective, Borrower, Administrative Agent and such Lender shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to identify a third party assignee of the Term Loans of such Lender; provided that, during such 30-day period, such Lender shall not be required to make any Advances. If the foregoing steps are not effective
within such 30-day period, notwithstanding Section 3.12 or any other provision herein to the contrary, (i) the Commitment of such Lender shall be immediately cancelled and (ii) Borrower shall repay the Term Loans of such Lender
(including accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any fees, breakage costs and charges payable in connection therewith (including pursuant to Section 3.7)) on the earlier of (A) the immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date and
(B) the date specified in writing by such Lender (being no earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by Applicable Law). 

3.10 Mitigation; Replacement of Lenders. 

3.10.1 Mitigation. If (a) any Lender requests compensation under 3.6, (b) Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to
any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.8, or (c) any Lender has notified Administrative Agent that it has become unlawful for such Lender to fund or maintain any Term Loan pursuant to
Section 3.9, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Term Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.6 or 3.8, as applicable, in the future or allow such Lender to maintain or fund
Term Loans, as applicable, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs
and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 3.10.2 Replacement of Lenders. If
(a) any Lender requests compensation under 3.6, (b) Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.8, (c) any Lender has notified
Administrative Agent that it has become unlawful for such Lender to fund or maintain any Term Loan pursuant to Section 3.9 or (d) any Lender has become a Defaulting Lender, then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to
such Lender and Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.7), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to
an assignee that shall assume such obligations 

  
 43 

 
(which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Term Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder,
from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 3.6 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.8, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments to such new Lender. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that
Borrower may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender. 
 3.11 Payments Generally. Unless otherwise specified, Borrower
shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or of amounts payable under Section 3.6, 3.7 or 3.8 or otherwise) prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately
available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next
succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to Borrower by Administrative Agent, except that payments pursuant to Sections 3.6,
3.7, 3.8 and 12.10 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If
any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (or, in the event that the next succeeding Business Day falls in the succeeding calendar month, the
immediately preceding Business Day), and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder of (a) principal or interest in respect of any Term Loan or
(b) any other amount due hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if Administrative Agent
shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by Administrative Agent to make such payment. Unless
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume
that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders
severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to
Administrative Agent, at the greater of (i) the Overnight LIBO Rate and (ii) a rate reasonably determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. If any Lender shall fail to make any
payment required to be made by it pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by Administrative Agent for the
account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such sentence until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 

  
 44 

 3.12 Pro Rata Treatment. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available
to Administrative Agent from Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due from Borrower hereunder, such funds shall be applied towards payment of principal, interest and fees then due from Borrower in a manner directed
by Hermes Agent (acting at the instruction of Hermes) and ratably among the parties entitled to such amounts. 
 3.13 Sharing of
Set-off. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Term Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the
aggregate amount of its Term Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Term Loans of other
Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (a) if
any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (b) the
provisions of this Section 3.13 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or
sale of a participation in any of its Term Loans to any assignee or Participant, other than to Borrower (as to which the provisions of this Section 3.13 shall apply). Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may
effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against Borrower’s rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Lender were a direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 SECTION 4. EQUITY CONTRIBUTIONS.

sentence.

hereunder, for the period from the Execution Date to the first Semi-Annual Date occurring thereafter or (b) in the case of the last installment of commitment fees payable hereunder, for the period from the preceding Semi-Annual Date to the

 5.3 Hermes Guarantee Fees. The Hermes Guarantee Fees shall
be paid in one or more of the following ways, as applicable:

legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to borrow hereunder. Borrower has taken all necessary limited liability company action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the
Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to authorize the borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any
other Person is required in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, the borrowings hereunder or the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of any Transaction Documents (other than the filings referred to in

borrowings hereunder by Borrower and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Applicable Law, any material Mine Document or any Organizational Document of Borrower and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any

 7.7 No
Default. Borrower is not in default in any material respect under or with respect to any of its material Contractual Obligations. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

statement furnished to any Lender Party by or on behalf of any Credit Party for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the financial statements referred to in Section 7.4.1), taken as a whole,
contained as of the date such statement, information, document or certificate was so furnished, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not
misleading. 
 7.10 Title to Property. Borrower is the sole owner of, legally and beneficially, and has good marketable and insurable
title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its Property (including the Sugar Camp Mine), and none of such Property is subject to any claims, liabilities, obligations, charges or restrictions of any kind, nature or description or
to any Lien other than General Permitted Liens and Equipment Permitted Liens. At the time this representation is made, Borrower has Mining Title to all Mining Facilities covered by outstanding Governmental Approvals issued to Borrower to the extent
necessary to conduct its business as currently conducted and to utilize such properties for their intended purpose at such time. The properties of Borrower that are material to its business, taken as a whole, are in good operating order, condition
and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted) constitutes all the property that is required for the business and operations of Borrower as conducted on the date this representation is made or repeated. 

  
 55 

 7.11 Intellectual Property. Borrower owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual
Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted. No material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any
Intellectual Property, nor does Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim in each case, that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The use of Intellectual Property by Borrower does not infringe on the rights
of any Person in such Intellectual Property in any material respect. 
 7.12 Taxes. 

7.12.1 Filing; Payment. Borrower (a) has timely filed or caused to be timely filed all federal and material other Tax returns
required to have been filed by or with respect to it, and each such Tax return is complete and accurate in all material respects and (b) has timely paid or caused to be timely paid all material Taxes shown thereon to be due and payable by it
and all other material Taxes or assessments (other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the
books of Borrower). 
 7.12.2 No Liens. (a) No Liens for material Taxes (other than General Permitted Liens) have been filed with
respect to the assets of Borrower, and no unresolved claim has been asserted in writing to Borrower or its Affiliates or members with respect to any material Taxes of Borrower, and (b) no waiver or agreement by Borrower is in force for the
extension of time for the assessment or payment of any material Tax that has not expired, and, to Borrower’s knowledge, no request for any such extension or waiver is currently pending. There is no pending or threatened in writing audit or
investigation by any Taxing Authority with respect to Borrower. 
 7.12.3 Pass-Through Entity. Borrower is, and has been since its
formation, a Pass-Through Entity. Borrower is not subject to entity-level Tax for state, local or foreign income or franchise Tax purposes. Borrower has not engaged in any “listed transaction” (as defined in Treasury Regulation
Section 1.6011-4) or made any disclosure under Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4. 
 7.13 Federal Regulations. Borrower
is not engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of any Term Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and
whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, (a) to purchase or carry Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock or to refund indebtedness originally incurred for such purpose, or
(b) for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the provisions of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulation U or Regulation X. 

7.14 ERISA. Borrower, each ERISA Affiliate and each Plan is in compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and
the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder, except for failures to so comply which could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur
that would subject Borrower to any Tax, penalty or other liabilities, which Tax, penalty or other liabilities which individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The excess in the present value

  
 56 

 
of all benefit liabilities under each Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plan), as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, over the fair market value of the assets
of such Plan could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan, the potential liability of Borrower and its ERISA Affiliates
for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan, when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, is zero. Borrower and each of its ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of
Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to any payments to a Multiemployer Plan.

their respective regulations, (c) Borrower, each of its Affiliates and their respective “related persons” (as defined in Section 9701(c) of the Code) are in compliance with the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992 and
any regulations promulgated thereunder, and (d) none of Borrower, any of its Affiliates or their respective “related persons” has incurred any liability under the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992.

reasonably be expected to (1) give rise to liability of Borrower under any applicable Environmental Law or otherwise result in costs to Borrower, (2) interfere with Borrower’s operations or (3) impair the fair saleable value of
any Real Property owned or leased by Borrower; provided however that, in the case of this clause (3), Borrower may have engaged in Hazardous Materials Activities typically engaged in by a reasonably prudent Person engaged in coal mining,

of, this Agreement or any other Finance Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party. 

  
 74 

 11.4 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to
have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Credit Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Each Agent may deem and treat
the payee of any Term Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such Term Note shall have been transferred in accordance with Section 12.7 and all actions required by such Section in connection with such transfer shall have been taken.
Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Finance Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all
Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason
of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or,
if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future
holders of the Term Loans. 
 11.5 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent
not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Proportionate Shares in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is
sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Term Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Proportionate Shares immediately prior to such date), for, and to save each Agent harmless from
and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Term Loans) be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Finance Documents, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from an
Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Term Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

11.6 Each Agent in its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage
in any kind of business with any Credit Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Term Loans made or renewed by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents as any
Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity. 

  
 75 

 11.7 Successor Agent. An Agent may resign as such upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders
and Borrower. If an Agent shall resign as such under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the applicable Agent,
and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Hermes Agent”, as the case may be, means such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s or Hermes Agent’s, as the case
may be, rights, powers and duties as such shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Term Loans. If no successor Agent has accepted
appointment by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of such
Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Section 11.7 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents. 
 11.8 Withholding. To
the extent required by any Applicable Law, Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender Party an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Taxing Authority of the United
States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender Party (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because
such Lender Party failed to notify Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective, or for any other reason), or Administrative Agent has paid over to the Internal
Revenue Service or other Governmental Authority applicable withholding Tax relating to a payment to a Lender but no deduction has been made from such payment, such Lender Party shall indemnify and hold Administrative Agent harmless for all amounts
paid, directly or indirectly, by Administrative Agent, as Tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to Administrative Agent under this Section 11.8, together
with all costs and expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses). The obligation of the Lender Parties under this Section 11.8 shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent. 

11.9 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default
hereunder unless such Agent shall have received notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event 

  
 76 

 
that an Agent shall receive such a notice, such Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. An Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be
reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement); provided that, unless and until such Agent shall have received such
directions, such Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. 

11.10 Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents. 

11.10.1 Actions. Unless otherwise instructed in writing by the Required Lenders, Hermes Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders)
shall, by written notice to Hermes, issue demand notices and otherwise make claims for payment under the Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents if it is entitled to do so at such time pursuant thereto and shall exercise any and all rights and
remedies available under the Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11. 
 11.10.2
Compliance. Each Lender hereby (a) acknowledges that it will review the Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents promptly following the issuance thereof and will be familiar with the terms thereof and (b) agrees that it will
cooperate with Hermes Agent and will itself take such actions and/or refrain from taking such actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure (i) compliance with the terms of the Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents and (ii) the
continuing validity of the Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents and the ability to make claims thereunder. 
 SECTION 12.
MISCELLANEOUS

telecopy notice, when received (provided that any notice of Default or Event of Default provided by any Lender Party to Borrower shall be deemed given or made when dispatched by such Lender Party), addressed (a) in the case of Borrower

 12.2 Borrower’s Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to make payments hereunder and to
observe and perform all of its other obligations under this Agreement are (subject to the terms of this Agreement) unconditional and irrevocable obligations of Borrower and accordingly shall not be conditional on performance by any Lender Party of
any obligations save such as may be specified in this Agreement as required to be performed in order to give rise to a relevant obligation of Borrower thereunder. For certainty, Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement shall not be
conditional upon, or in any way related to, performance by Equipment Supplier under the Equipment Supply Agreements. 

  
 78 

 12.3 Voting. 

12.3.1 Voting and Non-Voting Lenders. Subject to Section 12.3.2, in each instance that Administrative Agent, Hermes Agent or the
Lenders is or are required to cast a vote with respect to any consent, waiver, approval, determination, direction or other action in accordance with the Credit Documents and an Equipment Supplier Disbursement Certificate, a vote shall be taken among
the Lenders within the period of time specified by Administrative Agent; provided however that no Non-Voting Lender shall be entitled to participate in any vote under this Agreement with respect to any Commitment or any Term Loan held
by such Person. Each Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent in writing in the event that it is or becomes a Non-Voting Lender. The number of votes allocated to each Lender will be calculated based on its Proportionate Share. 

12.3.2 Hermes-Directed Votes. In the event that Hermes Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that Hermes has requested, advised,
instructed or required any Lender Party to vote in a certain manner or in favor of a certain result with respect to any consent, waiver, approval, determination, direction or other action or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action
relating to the Credit Documents or an Equipment Supplier Disbursement Certificate, Hermes Agent shall promptly notify each other applicable Lender Party of such determination, and each such Lender Party shall, for all purposes hereunder and
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (other than the proviso to this Section 12.3.2), be deemed as of the date indicated in such notification, to have cast its vote in such manner or in favor of such result, or to have otherwise
consented to such action or inaction, and to have instructed Hermes Agent accordingly; provided however that such deemed vote, consent or instruction may be superseded by any actual vote, consent or instruction of all Lenders, and such
superseding action of the Lenders shall take precedence over any such deemed action. Each Lender acknowledges that any such superseding action may cause the revocation or termination of the Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents and the loss of
any and all cover and other benefits thereunder. For certainty, the indemnity of Section 11.5 shall apply to any action or inaction of Hermes Agent taken in connection with any such superseding vote, consent or instruction of the Lenders,
except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Hermes Agent, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

12.3.3 Determination of Voting Percentages. The percentage of Lenders consenting to, approving, waiving or providing direction with
respect to a decision shall be calculated as a fraction (expressed as a percentage) (a) the numerator of which shall be the number of votes cast in favor of the proposed consent, approval, waiver, direction or other action and (b) the
denominator of which shall be the total number of votes entitled to be cast with respect to such matter. In the event any Lender does not cast its votes within the period of time specified by Administrative Agent, the vote of such Lender shall be
excluded from both the numerator and denominator of the fraction described in the preceding sentence. Any Lender that does not cast its vote hereby, or is deemed to have cast its vote pursuant to Section 12.3.2, waives any and all rights it may
have to object to or seek relief from the decision of the Lenders voting, or deemed to be voting, with respect to such issue and agrees to be bound by such decision. Nothing contained in this Section 12.3.3 shall preclude any Lender from
participating in any re-voting or further voting relating to such matter (including pursuant to the proviso to Section 12.3.2). 

  
 79 

 12.4 Amendments or Waivers. 

12.4.1 No Deemed Waiver. No failure or delay of any Lender, Administrative Agent or Hermes Agent in exercising any right or power
hereunder or under any other Finance Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right or power, preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Lenders, Administrative Agent and Hermes Agent under the Finance Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies
that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Finance Document or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 12.4.2, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 

12.4.2 Consent of Certain Lenders. Neither this Agreement nor any other Finance Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be
waived, amended or modified except (a) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Borrower and the Required Lenders and (b) in the case of any other Finance Document, pursuant to an
agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each party thereto and consented to by the Required Lenders (except where the provisions of any Finance Document expressly provide otherwise); provided that no such agreement shall: 

(A) decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or extend the final maturity of, or decrease the rate of interest (other than
with respect to default interest) on, any Term Loan without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; 

(B) extend or waive any date for payment of principal of any Term Loan (including the Maturity Date) or reduce the amount due
on any such date without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby; 
 (C) amend or modify the
provisions of Section 3.3, 3.4, 3.12 or 3.13 in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby; 

(D) amend or modify the provisions of this Section 12.4 or the definition of the terms “Required Lenders”,
“Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of
each Lender adversely affected thereby; 

  
 80 

 (E) release the Foresight Guaranty or the Hermes Export Credit Guarantee
Documents prior to the Discharge Date without the prior written consent of each Lender (unless otherwise permitted pursuant to the Credit Documents); or 

(F) amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of Administrative Agent or Hermes Agent hereunder without the prior
written consent of Administrative Agent or Hermes Agent, respectively, acting as such at the effective date of such agreement. 
 Each Lender shall be bound
by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section shall bind any assignee of such Lender. 

12.4.3 Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents. If at any time any Lender Party or Borrower becomes aware of any circumstances that
could reasonably be expected to result in the loss of cover under the Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents, either in whole or in part, such Person shall immediately inform Hermes Agent thereof, and Borrower and Hermes Agent shall consult and
negotiate with each other to find a mutually acceptable solution which best addresses the effect of such circumstances, including modifying or deleting the relevant provision or otherwise amending this Agreement; provided that this
Section 12.4.3 shall not in any way limit the rights and remedies of the Lender Parties under this Agreement upon a Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Document failing to remain in full force and effect. 

12.4.4 Certain Permitted Modifications. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 12.4, Borrower and Administrative
Agent and/or Hermes Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) amend or supplement the Credit Documents or an Equipment Supplier Disbursement Certificate without the consent of any Lender for the purpose of (a) curing any ambiguity, defect or
inconsistency and (b) making any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Lenders. 
 12.5 Survival of
Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Borrower in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this
Agreement (including each Equipment Supplier Disbursement Certificate) or any other Credit Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Term Loans, the execution and delivery
of the Credit Documents, regardless of any investigation made by such Persons or on their behalf, and all obligations of Borrower under this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the Discharge Date. 

  
 81 

 12.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including any agreement, document or instrument
attached hereto or referred to herein, integrates all the terms and conditions mentioned herein or incidental hereto and supersedes all oral negotiations and prior agreements and understandings of the parties hereto in respect to the subject matter
hereof. 
 12.7 Successors and Assigns. 

12.7.1 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Borrower and the Agents and when
Administrative Agent shall have received copies hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, each Lender Party and their
respective successors and permitted assigns, except that (a) Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the prior written consent of each Lender (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Hermes Agent (acting at the instruction of Hermes), and any attempted assignment or transfer by Borrower without such consent shall be null and void, and (b) no Lender may assign or
otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors
and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in Section 12.7.3 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Lender Parties) and Indemnitees (with respect to Section 12.8.2)) any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 12.7.2 Assignments. 

(A) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (B) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of Borrower and Hermes Agent
(acting at the instruction of Hermes); provided that no consent of Borrower shall be required (1) for any assignment of any Term Loan to an Eligible Assignee (other than an Approved Fund that invests primarily in distressed assets) or
(2) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 (B) Assignments shall be subject to each of the following
additional conditions: 
  

	 	(1)	except in the case of an assignment to an Eligible Assignee or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Term Loans, the amount of the Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each
such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $7,500,000, unless Borrower and Administrative Agent otherwise consent;
provided that no such consent of Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 

  
 82 

	 	(2)	each partial assignment of Term Loans shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; and 

 

	 	(3)	the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance. 

(C) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (D) of this Section, from and after the effective
date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the
assigning Lender hereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 12.10 subject to the obligation of such Lender therein). Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in
accordance with Section 12.7.3. 
 (D) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (B)(1) of this Section,
Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in
this paragraph. 
 (E) An assignee shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.6, 3.7 or 3.8 than
the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the interest assigned to such assignee. An assignee shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.8 to the extent such assignee fails to comply with
Section 3.8.4 or 3.8.5, as applicable. 
 12.7.3 Participations. 

(A) Any Lender may, without the consent of Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other
entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loans owing to it); 

  
 83 

 provided that (a) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (c) Borrower and the Lender Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument (oral or written) pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce
this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; provided that (i) such agreement or instrument may provide that such
Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 12.3.1 or paragraphs (A), (B), (C), (D) or (E) of the proviso to Section 12.4.2 that affects such
Participant and (B) no other agreement (oral or written) with respect to such Participant may exist between such Lender and such Participant. Subject to paragraph (B) of this Section, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled
to the benefits of Sections 3.6, 3.7 or 3.8 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.7.2. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section 2.9 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.13 as though it were a Lender. 

(B) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.6, 3.7 or 3.8 than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld). A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.8 to the extent such Participant fails to comply with Section 3.8.4 or 3.8.5, as applicable, as though it were a Lender. 

(C) Each Lender that sells a participation shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each
Participant and the principal amounts of each Participant’s interest in the Term Loans (or other rights or obligations) held by it (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, and
such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such Term Loan (or other right or obligation) hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary. Any such Participant Register shall be available for inspection by an Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

12.7.4 Pledge. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge
or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

  
 84 

 12.8 Expenses; Indemnification. 

12.8.1 Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents in connection with
the preparation of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and, each Equipment Supplier Disbursement Certificate,
and the documents effecting the Restructuring, or by the Agents in connection with the administration of this Agreement (including expenses incurred in connection with due
diligence and incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof) or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or
thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by any Lender Party in connection with the enforcement or protection of their
rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and, the Equipment Supplier Disbursement Certificates, in connection with
the Term Loans made hereunderor documents effecting the Restructuring, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of (a) Latham &
WatkinsSidley Austin LLP (counsel for Administrative Agent, Hermes Agent and the Lenders) and (b) to the extent consistent with the internal policies of any Lender, a single
legal counsel to each such Lender, reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of the Independent Consultants (pursuant to agreements reasonably acceptable to Borrower, provided that no such acceptance shall be required at any time an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing) and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel for any Lender Party (but no more than one such counsel for each Lender).

 12.8.2 Indemnification. Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender Party and each of their respective directors, trustees, officers,
employees, affiliates, investment advisors and agents (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses,
including reasonable and documented counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (a) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any
other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereunder and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (b) the use of the proceeds of the Term Loans or (c) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party
thereto (other than claims solely as between the Lender Parties); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses result primarily
from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Subject to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, Borrower agrees to
indemnify each Indemnitee against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable and documented counsel or 

  
 85 

 
consultant fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) any Environmental or Mining Claim
to the extent related in any way to Borrower, or (ii) any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials at, under, on or from the Mining Facilities; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses result from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties, as determined by the final
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The provisions of this Section shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Lender Party. All amounts due under this Section

irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any Lender Party to disclose to Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Credit Party
now or hereafter known by such Lender Party; and 

  
 18 

 (v) acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits
from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Credit Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 2.2 and this Section 2.3 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 

2.4 Subrogation. Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter
acquire against Borrower, any other Credit Party or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of Guarantor’s obligations under or in respect of this Guaranty or any other Credit Document,
including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Lender Party against Borrower or any other insider guarantor or any collateral, whether or not
such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from Borrower or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any
other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, until the Discharge Date in accordance with the Credit Agreement. If (i) Guarantor shall make a payment to any Lender Party of all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations, and (ii) the Discharge Date shall have occurred in accordance with the Credit Agreement, the Lender Parties will, at Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and
without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment made by Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty. 

2.5 Subordination. 
 2.5.1
Subordination. Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all debts, liabilities and other obligations owed to Guarantor by each other Credit Party (the “Subordinated Obligations”) to the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent and
in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section 2.5. Except during the continuance of any Event of Default, Guarantor may receive regularly scheduled payments from any other Credit Party on account of the Subordinated Obligations. After
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Guarantor shall not demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations until after the Discharge Date. 

2.5.2 Post-Petition Interest. In any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Credit Party, Guarantor agrees that the
Lender Parties shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (including all interest and expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, whether or not constituting an allowed
claim in such proceeding (“Post-Petition Interest”)) before Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations. 

2.5.3 Default; Event of Default. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any default under a Credit Document, Guarantor
shall, if Administrative Agent or Hermes Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for the Lender Parties and deliver such payments to Administrative Agent on account of the
Guaranteed Obligations (including all Post-Petition Interest), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but 

  
 19 

 without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this
Guaranty. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent is authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to so do), in its discretion, to require Guarantor (a) to collect and enforce, and to
submit claims in respect of, the Subordinated Obligations, and (b) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to Administrative Agent for application to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post-Petition Interest). 

2.6 Continuing Guaranty; Assignments. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until
the occurrence of the Discharge Date in accordance with the Credit Agreement, (b) be binding upon Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Lender Parties and their successors,

effect. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the Lender Parties shall have no obligation to investigate the financial condition or affairs of Guarantor nor to advise Guarantor of any fact respecting, or any change in, the financial condition or
affairs of Borrower that might become known to any Lender Party at any time, whether or not such Lender Party knows or believes, or has reasons to know or believe, that such fact or change is unknown to Guarantor, or might, or does, materially
increase the risk of Guarantor as guarantor, or might, or would, affect the willingness of Guarantor to continue as a guarantor of the Obligations. 

3.14 Substantial Benefit. It is in the best interest of Guarantor to execute this Guaranty inasmuch as Guarantor will derive
