SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

In April 2013, CONSOL Energy and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release settling all of the Commonwealth's claims regarding the Ryerson Park Dam and the Ryerson Park Lake, discussed further in Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies. The Settlement provides in part for the payment to the Commonwealth of $36,000 for use to rebuild the dam and restore the lake. As part of the settlement, the Commonwealth will convey to the Company its oil and gas rights within the Park, subject to the Company's agreement to extract oil and gas from surface facilities located outside of the boundaries of the Park. The Settlement also provides in part for the conveyance by the Company to the Commonwealth of eight surface parcels containing approximately 506 acres of land adjoining the park after the parcels are no longer needed for the Company's operations and the conveyance by the Commonwealth to the Company certain coal and mining rights in an area of the Bailey Mine where a mining permit application is currently pending.
