THIS AGREEMENT (as it may be amended or modified from time to time, this "Reclamation Funding Agreement") is made and entered into as of July 12, 2016, by and among: Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. ("ANR"), on behalf of itself and its debtor-affiliates (collectively with ANR, the "Debtors" or, when used in reference to such Debtors on or after the Effective Date (as defined herein), the "Reorganized Debtors"); Contura Energy, Inc.

WHEREAS, the Debtors intend that the Reorganized Debtors will retain substantially all of the Debtors' assets that are not sold pursuant to the Sale Transaction (collectively, the "Retained Assets");





WHEREAS, a primary purpose of the Reorganized Debtors will be to hold and satisfy their obligations under the Permits associated with the Retained Assets (collectively, the "Retained Permits") and to complete all reclamation requirements of the Permits associated with the Retained Assets including the management of reclamation activities at certain sites with only reclamation activities to be completed (collectively, the "Reclaim-Only Sites");
WHEREAS, attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is a schedule identifying each of the Retained Permits associated with a Reclaim-Only Site by State;
WHEREAS, contemporaneously herewith the Debtors and the Purchaser together have entered into separate settlement agreements (collectively, the "State Settlement Agreements") with each of the Regulatory Authorities to define the terms and framework for accomplishing mine land reclamation and associated environmental restoration and water treatment (including long term water treatment) in their respective States in accordance with the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977, as amended, 30 U.S.C. §§ 1201, et seq. ("SMCRA"), its state analogues and other applicable mining and environmental related statutes and regulations (collectively with SMCRA, the "Mining Laws") on Mining Complexes operated under Permits previously issued to ANR and its subsidiaries;
WHEREAS, contemporaneously herewith the Debtors, the Purchaser and Citicorp North America, Inc. (the "First Lien Agent") have entered into that certain Stipulation Regarding Water Treatment Obligations (the "Water Treatment Stipulation") with the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") to define the framework and funding for the fulfillment of the Reorganized Debtors' and the Purchaser's obligations under the EPA Consent Decree (as defined in the Water Treatment Stipulation) and the Reorganized Debtors' other water treatment obligations;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the execution by each of the Regulatory Authorities of their respective State Settlement Agreements and of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
1.    Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed them in the Plan. In addition to the terms defined above, the following terms have the following meanings herein:

2



(a)    "Effective Date" means the date upon which the Plan shall become effective in accordance with its terms.
(b)    "Free Cash Flow" means cash generated by the Reorganized Debtors in an amount equal to earnings before taxes, multiplied by an amount equal to one minus the tax rate applicable to the Reorganized Debtors, plus an add-back of all depreciation and amortization expenses, plus or minus, as applicable, any decrease or increase to the Reorganized Debtors' net working capital, minus capital expenditures, measured for any Quarterly Period.
(c)    "Funding Threshold Amount" means the funded amount of a State's Restricted Cash Reclamation Account that is equal to 125% of the remaining Total Cost of Reclamation in that State.
(d)    "Fully Reclaim," "Fully Reclaimed" or "Full Reclamation" means, as to any or all Retained Permits, the completion of reclamation, as provided for by the applicable Mining Laws.
(e)    "Restricted Cash Reclamation Accounts" means a separate interest bearing segregated deposit account for each of the Regulatory Authorities established pursuant to the applicable State Settlement Agreement in which account such Regulatory Authority shall hold a first priority security interest, perfected by "control" under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code.
(f)    "Total Cost of Reclamation" means the estimate of the total cost of reclamation, mitigation, the calculated net present value of the cost of water treatment for the period of time specified by the Regulatory Authority's standards for long-term water treatment and management associated with the Reorganized Debtors' mining operations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Reorganized Debtors' proposed Total Cost of Reclamation for Retained Permits in each State shall be reviewed by each applicable Regulatory Authority for completeness and reasonableness of approach.
2.    Funding of the Restricted Cash Reclamation Accounts by the Purchaser.
(a)    Periodic Payments. In accordance with the allocations determined pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the Purchaser shall pay the aggregate amount of $50,000,000 into the various Restricted Cash Reclamation Accounts as follows:

(ii)    $10,000,000 on the anniversary of the Effective Date in each of 2017, 2018, and 2019; and

3

(b)    Contingent Payment Obligation. In addition to the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, and in accordance with the allocations set forth in Section 5 hereof, the Purchaser shall pay up to an aggregate amount of $50,000,000 (the "Contingent Payment Obligation Cap") into the various Restricted Cash Reclamation Accounts as a contingent payment obligation from 2021 through 2025 (the "Contingent Payment Obligation").
(i)    The Purchaser shall make Contingent Payment Obligation contributions into the Restricted Cash Reclamation Accounts up to the Contingent Payment Obligation Cap only in the following circumstances:
(1)    If and to the extent that the Reorganized Debtors do not contribute $50,000,000 of Free Cash Flow into the Restricted Cash Reclamation Accounts through December 31, 2020 as set forth in Section 4(b) hereof; and
(2)    If the Reorganized Debtors make any Reorganized ANR Contingent Revenue Payment (as such term is defined in the Plan) that reduces the amount of Free Cash Flow that the Reorganized Debtors otherwise would have contributed to the Restricted Cash Reclamation Accounts had they not made such Reorganized ANR Contingent Revenue Payment, then a Contingent Payment Obligation will be payable in the amount of the difference between (A) the amount of Free Cash Flow that the Reorganized Debtors would have contributed to the Restricted Cash Reclamation Accounts had they not made such Reorganized ANR Contingent Revenue Payment and (B) the amount of Free Cash Flow actually contributed.
(ii)    For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser's obligations under Section 2(b)(i) hereof shall be cumulative up to the amount of the Contingent Payment Obligation Cap.
(iii)    The Purchaser shall make any Contingent Payment Obligation contributions up to the Contingent Payment Obligation Cap according to the following schedule, solely to the extent due and payable as of the applicable payment date in accordance with Section 2(b)(i) hereof:

(b)    such liabilities are otherwise satisfied or funded.
4.    Funding of the Restricted Cash Reclamation Accounts by the Reorganized Debtors.
(a)    Periodic Payments.
(i)    In accordance with the allocations determined in accordance with Section 5 hereof, the Reorganized Debtors shall pay and deposit the aggregate amount of $109,000,000 into the various Restricted Cash Reclamation Accounts through 2025.
(ii)    Such payments shall be made in the following aggregate amounts: $5,000,000 in 2016, $10,000,000 in each of 2017 and 2018 and $12,000,000 in each year from 2019 through 2025.
(iii)    All such payments shall be made in equal monthly installments in the year in which they are due. The Reorganized Debtors shall make the first payment on or before August 31, 2016 and the remaining payments on or before the last day of each subsequent month through December 2025.

Such payments are over and above the amounts required to be paid in Section 4(a) above.
(ii)    Such payments of Free Cash Flow shall be made with respect to each State until either: (1) all Reclaim-Only sites have been

5



Fully Reclaimed and any long-term water treatment or water management obligations in such State are fully funded and have been covered by a method approved by the regulator for the applicable State (such as a long-term water treatment trust); or (2) the Funding Threshold Amount has been reached with respect to each State, it being understood that once the Funding Threshold Amount for a State has been reached, (A) the Free Cash Flow contribution obligation to the Restricted Cash Reclamation Account for the applicable State shall be reduced to an amount necessary to maintain such Funding Threshold Amount, until such time as all Reclaim-Only Sites have been Fully Reclaimed and (B) the remaining portion of the Free Cash Flow contribution shall be deposited into the Restricted Cash Reclamation Accounts of the remaining States in accordance with the allocations determined pursuant to Section 5 hereof, as adjusted.
(iii)    The Free Cash Flow contributions required under this Section shall be paid within 30 days after each calendar quarter end, subject to reconciliation on an annual basis.

(d)    In the event of a merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Reorganized Debtors, then all of the Reorganized Debtors' obligations under Sections 4(a) above and 6(c) below shall either (i) be accelerated and paid in full on a net present value basis into the applicable Restricted Cash Reclamation Accounts or (ii) be assumed by the purchaser or surviving entity, before or at the closing of such transaction; provided, however, that the Restructuring Transactions, including, without limitation, the NewCo Asset Sale, shall not be deemed to be mergers or sales within the meaning of this Section 4(d). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4(d) shall:

6



(i)    limit or interfere with any Regulatory Authority's exercise of discretion with respect to approving any permit transfer or other required regulatory approval; or
(ii)    alter or affect the obligations of the Reorganized Debtors or any of their successors or assigns, as the case may be, to perform or complete reclamation, mitigation and water treatment of all of its or their respective permitted sites in accordance with any applicable law, consent decree or other agreement.
5.    Allocation of Periodic Contributions.
(a)    Periodic contributions required under Sections 2 and 4 (collectively, the "Periodic Contributions") shall be allocated to the applicable States as set forth in this Section 5.

(c)    Within 90 days of the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall begin an evaluation of all of their Permits and shall develop a Total Cost of Reclamation for each State. Such evaluation may be the same as any asset retirement obligation analysis previously undertaken by the Debtors. A preliminary Total Cost of Reclamation for each State shall be developed by July 1, 2017 and provided to each of the States at that time for their review and comment. A final Total Cost of Reclamation shall be provided to each of the States for their review and comment by July 1, 2018.
(d)    The allocation of Periodic Contributions to the Restricted Cash Reclamation Accounts shall be reassessed and adjusted bi-annually beginning on January 1, 2019 based upon the Total Cost of Reclamation in each of the States as of July 1, 2018, and the Periodic Contributions required under Sections 2 and 4 shall be made to the various Restricted Cash Reclamation Accounts in accordance with such adjusted allocations.
(e)    In the event that the Regulatory Authorities are unable to agree on adjusted allocations based upon the Total Cost of Reclamation, the allocations in Section 5(b) above shall continue to apply.
(f)    With respect to Tennessee, once the Reclamation Trust (as defined in the State Settlement Agreement for Tennessee) is established, any funds in Tennessee's Restricted Cash Reclamation Account, as well as future periodic contributions to such account, shall be paid into the Reclamation Trust.

7



6.    Funding of the Reorganized Debtors' Water Treatment Obligations Pursuant to the Water Treatment Stipulation
(a)    Pursuant to the Water Treatment Stipulation, the Reorganized Debtors will provide EPA and the Regulatory Authorities for the States in which their water treatment occurs (i) an annual summary of the expenditures on their water treatment for the previous year, (ii) an explanation of any material deviance (greater than 20%) in such expenditures from the prior year and (iii) a certification of a senior executive officer that an amount sufficient to cover the water treatment costs expected to occur in the following year has been included in the budget for that year. In addition, the Reorganized Debtors will provide EPA with copies of any budgets delivered to the Regulatory Authorities in accordance with the terms of the State Settlement Agreements.
(b)    The First Lien Lender Contribution
(i)    Pursuant to the Water Treatment Stipulation, on the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors, with the consent of the First Lien Lenders, shall pay from the First Lien Lenders' collateral an additional $5 million to support the Reorganized Debtors' compliance with their water treatment obligations (the "First Lien Lender Contribution").
(ii)    The First Lien Lender Contribution will be allocated equally among the States to be used for water treatment and other approved projects to improve water quality.
(iii)    On or prior to the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall create either of the following accounts (in either case, a "Water Treatment Restricted Cash Account") with respect to each State to receive such State's share of the First Lien Lender Contribution: (1) a segregated subaccount within the each State's Restricted Cash Reclamation Account (as defined in the applicable State Settlement Agreement); or (2) a separate segregated restricted cash account. With respect to Tennessee, once the Water Treatment Trust (as defined in the State Settlement Agreement for Tennessee) is established, any funds in Tennessee's Water Treatment Restricted Cash Account, as well as future periodic contributions to such account, shall be placed into the Tennessee Water Treatment Trust until the trust is fully funded as determined by OSMRE.
(c)    The Reorganized Debtor Contribution
(i)    Pursuant to the Water Treatment Stipulation, the Reorganized Debtors shall contribute $15 million into the Water Treatment Restricted Cash Accounts from 2017 through 2023 (the "Reorganized Debtor Contribution") to fund compliance with their water treatment obligations, including their obligations under the EPA Consent Decree.

(iii)    The Reorganized Debtor Contribution for 2017 shall be divided equally among the States. Thereafter, (x) the Reorganized Debtors shall provide 20% of the Aggregate Annual Payment Amount to the Tennessee Water Treatment Trust (as defined in the Water Treatment Stipulation) until such requirement is terminated pursuant to subparagraph (iv) below and (y) the remainder of the annual Reorganized Debtor Contribution shall be divided among the other States according to the percentage of actual expenditures on water treatment in each State; provided that, each State shall receive a minimum of at least $25,000 each year. The Reorganized Debtors will track their spending on water treatment in each State and submit a report to the applicable Regulatory Authority and EPA by September 30 of each year detailing such expenditures for the period from July 1 to June 30 of the previous year.
(iv)    Once the Tennessee Water Treatment Trust has been fully funded in accordance with its terms, subsequent Reorganized Debtor Contribution amounts shall be allocated among the other States in accordance with Section 6(c)(iii)(y) hereof.
(d)    The Reorganized Debtors will cooperate and work in good faith with each Regulatory Authority to develop the minimum balance (the "Minimum Balance") that will be maintained in the Water Treatment Restricted Cash Account for that State. The Minimum Balance may be adjusted by agreement between the Reorganized Debtors and the applicable Regulatory Authority on an annual basis; provided that, nothing herein requires the Reorganized Debtors to designate more than $1,000,000 as the aggregate amount of Minimum Balances among the Water Treatment Restricted Cash Accounts in 2016. The Reorganized Debtors shall provide EPA with a copy of the written agreement that establishes the Minimum Balance for each State.

9



(e)    Funds in the Water Treatment Restricted Cash Accounts that are in excess of the Minimum Balance established for that account may be utilized to pay for water treatment expenses, water treatment system installations and reclamation activities that benefit water quality. The use of funds for water treatment expenses, including, without limitation, funds expended on chemicals, utilities, pond cleaning and maintenance of structures and systems, shall be included in the Semi-Annual Budget (as defined in the State Settlement Agreements) provided to the Regulatory Authority and EPA but shall not require the prior approval of the applicable Regulatory Agency or EPA. Any use of funds to install water treatment systems or to conduct reclamation activities that will benefit water quality shall be subject to the budgeting and approval provisions of the State Settlement Agreements. EPA and the applicable Regulatory Authority shall have the right to audit all expenditures from the Water Treatment Restricted Cash Accounts.
(f)    For the avoidance of doubt, the funding to be provided to the Water Treatment Restricted Cash Accounts pursuant to the Water Treatment Stipulation or to the Restricted Cash Reclamation Accounts pursuant to this Reclamation Funding Agreement shall be used solely to fund the Reorganized Debtors' obligations thereunder and shall not be used to assist or subsidize the Purchaser's compliance.
7.    Conditions to Effectiveness. The following shall be conditions to the effectiveness of this Reclamation Funding Agreement:
(a)    The Debtors and the Purchaser shall have executed a State Settlement Agreement with the applicable Regulatory Authority with respect to each State;
(b)    This Reclamation Funding Agreement, the Water Treatment Stipulation and the State Settlement Agreements shall have been approved by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the order confirming the Plan;

(e)    There shall be no material adverse changes to the terms of the settlements by and among the Debtors, the First-Lien Lenders, the Second-Lien Lenders and the Unsecured Creditors Committee as filed with the Bankruptcy Court prior to May 25, 2016;
(f)    There shall be no material adverse changes to the terms of the solicitation version of the Plan filed on June 2, 2016; and

10

8.    Reclamation Funding Agreement and the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Reclamation Funding Agreement and the Plan, this Reclamation Funding Agreement shall control.
9.    Covenants, Cooperation and Good Faith Efforts. The Parties agree to cooperate and work in good faith with each other to obtain a consensus as to the Total Cost of Reclamation and the allocation of Periodic Contributions as set forth in Section 5 hereof.
10.    Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Reclamation Funding Agreement shall be binding on the Parties and their successors and assigns, including any trustee appointed under the Bankruptcy Code, and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their successors and assigns.
11.    Entire Agreement.
