paragraph 3.

	1.2	 	Indemnitors shall pay such sums to CNI as CNI is obliged to pay within five Business Days of
written demand together with interest on them from the date five Business Days following such
demand for payment under this Agreement until payment of them in full by us in full at the

and manner as CNI may from time to time decide.

2. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

	2.1	 	Indemnitors’ liability to indemnify CNI on account of any payment by CNI under the CNI

reference to or authority from Indemnitors, subject to CNI having received legal
advice from CNI’s counsel in Sweden that the sum demanded under the SPA is due and
payable by CNI and Indemnitors agree that any such obligations and liabilities shall
be binding on the Indemnitors and shall, as between CNI and the Indemnitors, be
accepted by Indemnitors as conclusive evidence that CNI was liable to pay or comply
with it.

4. WAIVER OF DEFENCES

	4.1	 	Indemnitors liability under this Agreement will not be affected by an act, omission, matter
or thing which would reduce, release or prejudice any of Indemnitors’ liability under this
Agreement (without limitation and whether or not known to Indemnitors or CNI) including:

this Agreement or, in relation to CNI at CNI’s option, to any of CNI’s officers at any place
or by dispatching it addressed to CNI at CNI’s registered or principal office for the time
being.
	 
	6.2	 	Any such notice, consent, request, demand or other communication:

appropriate and are in addition to the general law. Such rights (whether arising

3

 

	 	 	 	hereunder or under the general law) shall not be capable of being waived or varied
otherwise than by an express waiver or variation in writing and, in particular, any
failure to exercise or any delay in exercising any of such rights shall not operate
as a waiver or variation of that or any other such right, any defective or partial
exercise of any such rights shall not preclude any other or further exercise of that
or any other such right, and no act or course of conduct or negotiation by CNI or on
CNI’s behalf shall in any way preclude CNI from exercising any such right or
constitute a suspension or any variation of any such right.

9. RELEASE

that no claim is then outstanding or notice of a claim or proposed claim has been
made by such date); and (ii) upon CNI being fully and irrevocably released from
CNI’s obligations, actual, contingent or otherwise, under the CNI Guarantee No. 2.

10. MISCELLANEOUS

	10.1	 	Indemnitors’ liability to indemnify CNI under this Agreement shall be a continuing liability
and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by Indemnitors to CNI under this
Agreement regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or part.

	10.2	 	CNI’s rights under this Agreement shall be in addition to and not in any way prejudiced by
any other rights CNI may have under the SPA or any other security or otherwise howsoever (and
whether against us or against any other legal person) and may be enforced against us without
first having recourse to any such right and without taking any steps or proceedings against
any other legal person. CNI may at any time and without reference to Indemnitors give time
for payment or grant any other indulgence and give up, deal with, vary, exchange or abstain
from perfecting or enforcing any other indemnities, guarantees, interests by way of security
or other obligations held by CNI at any time and discharge any party to them or any of them,
and realize them or any of them and compound with, accept compositions from and make any other
arrangements with the beneficiaries of the CNI Guarantee No. 2 or any legal persons, as CNI
think fit, without affecting Indemnitors’ liability under this Agreement.

	10.3	 	If any payment by us or any discharge given by CNI is avoided or reduced as a result of
insolvency or a similar event:

	 	a)	 	Indemnitors’ liability under this Agreement shall continue as
if the payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not occurred; and

	 	b)	 	CNI shall be entitled to recover the value or amount of that
payment from Indemnitors, as if that payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction
had not occurred.

11. JURISDICTION

	11.1	 	Indemnitors agree for CNI’s benefit without prejudice to CNI’s right to take proceedings
before any other court of competent jurisdiction, that the courts of Sweden have jurisdiction
to settle any disputes in connection with this Agreement.

4

 

12. GOVERNING LAW

	 	 	 	This Agreement is governed by Swedish law.

13. COUNTERPARTS

	 	 	 	This Counter Indemnity may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
when executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which when taken
together shall constitute a single instrument.

IN WITNESS whereof this Agreement has been executed as a deed on the date first above written.

Exhibit 10.1

AMENDMENT NO. 1

TO

THE NORTH AMERICAN COAL CORPORATION

VALUE APPRECIATION PLAN FOR YEARS 2000 TO 2009

(AS AMENDED AND RESTATED AS OF JANUARY 1, 2005)

     The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of The North American Coal Corporation
(the “Company”), hereby adopts this Amendment No. 1 to The North American Coal Corporation Value
Appreciation Plan for Years 2000 to 2009 (As Amended and Restated as of January 1, 2005) (the
“Plan”), effective as of January 1, 2006. Words and phrases used herein with initial capital
letters that are defined in the Plan are used herein as so defined.

Section 1

     Pursuant to the amendment and termination powers granted under Section 9 of the Plan, the
Compensation Committee hereby permanently freezes the Plan, effective as of January 1, 2006. As a
result, the Plan is hereby amended by adding the following new Section 1A thereto, immediately
following Section 2 thereof, to read as follows:

     “1A. Benefit Freeze. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the
Plan shall be frozen as of January 1, 2006. No additional employees shall become eligible to
participate in the Plan after such date and no further Awards shall be granted or payable
hereunder. In furtherance of, but without limiting the foregoing, (a) Awards that have previously
been granted under the Plan (other than VAP Target Awards for 2006) shall continue to be subject to
all terms of the Plan (including, without limitation, the vesting and payment provisions of Section
5.2) until such amounts have been distributed or forfeited in accordance with the terms of the Plan
and (b) the Target VAP Awards for 2006 that were previously communicated to the Participants are
void and of no further force or effect and Participants shall have no further rights with respect
thereto.”

Section 2

     Section 8 of the Plan is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

     “8. Calculation of Value Appreciation; Adjustments in VAP Amounts.

     “Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, no further Value Appreciation
shall be calculated on or after January 1, 2006. In addition, a Participant’s VAP Account shall be
frozen as of the date hereof, except for the addition of interest pursuant to Section 7 hereof and
any adjustments for distributions or forfeitures under Section 5 hereof.”

Section 3

     Sections 9(a) and 9(b) of the Plan are each hereby amended by deleting the phrase “,without
the consent of the Participant, affect the Participant’s rights in/the amount of any outstanding
Award of such Participant” and replacing it with the phrase “,without the consent of the
Participant, reduce the value of the Participant’s VAP account (except as otherwise permitted under
the terms of the Plan).”
