			WHEREAS, Lessor and Lessee desire to add the Additional Property to the Lease under the terms set forth in this Amendment.
		

		
			Agreement
		

		
			NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements between the parties, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree to the following:
		

			
	
			
				 1.
			Lease.  Lessor hereby demises, lease, and lets to Lessee the Alma seam of coal in, on or underlying the Additional Property, together with the right to mine the same using the methods, and with all of the rights and obligations set forth in the Lease with respect to such coal, and such coal shall hereafter be deemed to be included as Leased Coal.

			
	
			
				 2.
			One-Time Minimum Royalty.  In connection with this Amendment, Lessee shall pay a one-time minimum royalty, in arrears, in the amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), on or before July 20, 2019.  In the event Lessee pays tonnage royalty (as required under the Lease) on coal mined from the Additional Property and sold through June 30, 2019, sufficient to equal the one-time minimum royalty, no such one-time minimum royalty payment shall be required.  If Lessee does not mine sufficient coal from the Additional Property during such period to pay tonnage royalty equal to the one-time minimum royalty, then Lessee shall pay the difference between the one-time minimum royalty and the tonnage royalty, if any, paid for coal mined and sold from the Amendment Date through June 30, 2019.  The amount of one-time minimum royalty actually paid shall be fully recoupable by Lessee by crediting the same against tonnage royalty payments thereafter due to Lessor with respect to coal mined from the Additional Property only, until fully recouped by Lessee.  Lessee shall not be entitled to recoup tonnage royalty paid with

				 3.
			No Other Modifications.  Except as expressly amended by this Amendment, all other terms and conditions of the Lease shall continue to remain in full force and effect.

			
	
			
				 4.
			Conflicting Language.  To the extent that any language contained in the Lease conflicts with any language contained in this Amendment, the language contained in this Amendment shall control.

			Agreement
		

		
			NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of One Dollar cash-in-hand paid, the foregoing recitals which are not mere recitals, the mutual agreements of the parties, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree to the following:
		

			
	
			
				 1.
			Lessor hereby demises, leases, and lets to Lessee, the coal contained in the Big Huff Property, together with the right to remove the same by any and all mining methods, now existing or hereafter developed (including, without limitation, surface, deep and highwall mining), and the right to use all of the surface and mining rights vested in Lessor for the purpose of mining, removing, transporting, processing, marketing and selling the Leased Coal and coal mined from other properties leased or subleased to Lessee by Lessor; subject, however, to the limitations and conditions set forth in the Lease and in this Amendment.  The coal leased hereby shall be included as “Leased Coal” under the Lease and the Big Huff Property shall be included as “Leased Premises” under the Lease, and Lessee shall have the same rights, duties, obligations, limitations, conditions and restrictions with respect to the Big Huff Property as are applicable to the Leased Coal and Leased Premises under the Lease except as expressly set forth herein.

		
			2.Notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, the term of the Lease with respect to the Big Huff Property only shall be five (5) years from the Amendment Date; which term shall be automatically extended for up to three (3) additional terms of five (5) years

Similarly, tonnage royalty on production of Leased Coal other than from the Big Huff Property under the Lease shall not be applied to reduce the Big Huff Minimum Royalty.  
		

		
			4.Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Lease.  Except as expressly modified herein, all other terms and conditions of the Lease shall continue to remain in full force and effect.
