FORM OF DRAW NOTE

Draw Note

1. PROMISE TO PAY. On or before May 31, 2031 (the “Maturity Date”), the undersigned, Cumberland Coal Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”) for value received, hereby promises to pay to the order of Range Cumberland, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (together with its successors and assigns, the “Lender”) the sum of FOUR MILLION AND 00/XX DOLLARS ($4,000,000), (the “Loan”), plus interest as provided herein, less such amounts as shall have been repaid in accordance with this Note. The outstanding balance of this Note shall appear on a supplemental record of Lender and is not necessarily the face amount of this Note, which record shall evidence the balance due pursuant to this Note at any time.

2. NOTE TERMS, RATE AND PAYMENT DATES.

This Note, and any request by Borrower from time to time for an Advance of a specified principal amount hereunder, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement dated as of the Effective Date, by and between Borrower and Lender, as the same has been or may be amended from time to time (the “Loan Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein which are not otherwise defined in this Note shall have the meaning set forth for them in the Loan Agreement.

Lender, in its reasonable discretion, may loan hereunder to Borrower such amounts as may from time to time be requested by Borrower provided that (a) the aggregate outstanding principal amount borrowed hereunder shall not at any time exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Loan, (b) no Event of Default, shall exist or be caused thereby, and (c) amounts advanced and repaid may not be reborrowed hereunder. The entire principal balance, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and any other charges, advances and fees, if any, outstanding hereunder, shall be due and payable in full on the earlier of the Maturity Date or upon acceleration of the Note.

The principal sum outstanding shall bear interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to ten percent (10%) (the “Interest Rate”). Interest shall be calculated based on a 360-day year and charged for the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall be payable on the 1^st day of each calendar quarter beginning on June 1, 2026 (each an “Interest Payment Date”); provided that the entire principal balance, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and any other charges, advances and fees, if any, outstanding hereunder shall be due and payable in full on the earlier of the Maturity Date or upon acceleration of the Note.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written notice Borrower delivered to Lender not less than ten (10) days prior to any applicable Interest Payment Date, Lender may, in its sole discretion, elect that all or any portion of accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall not be payable on the applicable Interest Payment Date, and shall be capitalized and added to the outstanding principal balance of this Note (each a “PIK Election”). Any interest subject to a PIK Election shall thereafter constitute principal for all purposes of this Note and the other Loan Documents and shall thereafter bear interest at the Interest Rate. Each PIK Election may be made by Lender in writing (including by electronic mail) on or prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, absent such PIK Election, interest shall be payable in accordance with this Note. Following any capitalization of interest pursuant to a PIK Election, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be deemed increased by the amount of such capitalized interest, and all subsequent interest calculations hereunder shall be based on such increased principal balance.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Note, in no event shall the interest rate and other charges hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that a court determines that Lender has received interest and other charges hereunder in excess of the highest rate applicable hereto, such excess shall be deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce, the Loan, other than interest, in the inverse order of maturity, and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for the highest permissible rate. If there are no amounts outstanding under the Note, Lender shall refund to Borrower such excess.

3. SECURITY. To secure repayment of this Note and all other Obligations together with all modifications, extensions and renewals thereof, Borrower hereby grants Lender a continuing security interest in all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the property identified in the Security Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (collectively, the “Collateral”).

4. USE OF PROCEEDS. Borrower certifies that the proceeds of this loan are to be used only for business purposes and for the purpose of closing this Loan, paying Lender’s costs and expenses, and other professional fees.

5. Reserved.

6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Borrower hereby warrants and represents to Lender that the representations and warranties contained in the Loan Agreement are true and accurate as of the date hereof, including but not limited to the representation that Borrower has obtained the consent of all of its members to the confession of judgment and cognovit provisions contained herein.

7. DEFINITIONS. Unless otherwise defined herein, certain capitalized terms have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement between Lender and Borrower of even date or in the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement). All financial terms used herein but not defined herein or in the Loan Agreement or in any other Loan Document have the meanings given to them by generally accepted accounting principles. All other undefined terms have the meanings given to them in the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the state whose laws govern this instrument.

8. COVENANTS. Borrower agrees that from the date of execution of this Note until the Obligations have been fully paid it will comply with all of the covenants set forth in the Loan Agreement.

9. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement, Lender may, at its option, without any demand or notice whatsoever other than as set forth herein, cease making advances and declare this Note and all Obligations to be fully due and payable in their aggregate amount, together with accrued interest and all prepayment premiums, fees, and charges applicable thereto.

10. REMEDIES. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, in addition to any other remedy permitted by law, including, but not limited to those remedies provided to secured parties under the Uniform Commercial Code, Lender may at any time, without notice, apply the Collateral to this Note or such other Obligations, whether due or not, and Lender may, at its option, proceed to enforce and protect its rights by an action at law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceedings; provided that this Note and the Obligations shall be accelerated automatically and immediately if the Event of Default is a filing under the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, Lender may use, in connection with any assembly or disposition of the Collateral, any trademark, trade name, tradestyle, copyright, patent right, trade secret or technical process used or utilized by Borrower. Lender may take such measures as Lender may deem necessary or advisable to preserve, collect, process, develop, maintain, protect, care for or insure the Collateral or any portion thereof; and Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact to do all acts and things in connection therewith and in particular, to endorse checks and other instruments payable to Borrower. Borrower shall pay all costs of collection incurred by Lender, including its Attorneys’ Fees, if this Note is referred to an attorney for collection, whether or not payment is obtained before entry of judgment.

Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative, and may be exercised together, separately, and in any order. No delay on the part of Lender in the exercise of any such right or remedy shall operate as a waiver. No single or partial exercise by Lender of any right or remedy shall preclude any other further exercise of it or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver or indulgence by Lender of any Event of Default shall be effective unless in writing and signed by Lender, nor shall a waiver on one occasion be construed as a waiver of any other occurrence in the future.

11. LATE FEE; DEFAULT RATE; FEES. If any payment is not paid when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or within 10 days thereafter, undersigned agrees to pay to Lender a late fee equal to FIVE PERCENT (5%) of the amount overdue (the “Late Fee”). After an Event of Default, Borrower agrees this Note shall accrue interest from the occurrence of such Event of Default equal to the Interest Rate plus three percent (3%) per annum (the “Default Rate”). Lender may impose a non-sufficient funds fee for any check that is presented for payment that is returned for any reason of up to Fifty xx/100 Dollars ($50). In addition, Lender may charge loan documentation fees as may be reasonably determined by Lender.

12. PREPAYMENT. Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Loan in whole or in part at any time and from time to time without premium or penalty, subject to the provisions of this section. All prepayments shall be applied first to any accrued and unpaid fees, costs, and expenses owing to Lender, second to accrued and unpaid interest, and then to outstanding principal. No prepayment shall affect Borrower’s obligation to continue to perform all covenants and obligations under the Loan Documents, and no prepayment shall be deemed a waiver of any rights or remedies of Lender with respect to any existing or future Event of Default. All partial prepayments shall be applied in such order and manner as Lender may reasonably determine, consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

13. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. Borrower agrees that there are no conditions or understandings which are not expressed in this Note and the Loan Documents referred to herein.

14. SEVERABILITY AND INTERPRETATION. The declaration of invalidity of any provision of this Note shall not affect any part of the remainder of the provisions. Unless the context otherwise indicates, the singular includes the plural and vice versa, the masculine includes the feminine and neuter, and the pronouns “herein” and the like refer to this entire Note.

15. ASSIGNMENT. Borrower agrees not to assign any of Borrower’s rights, remedies or obligations described in this Note without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion. Borrower agrees that Lender may assign some or all of its rights and remedies described in this Note without notice to, or prior consent from, Borrower.

16. MODIFICATION; WAIVER OF LENDER. The modification or waiver of any of Borrower’s obligations or Lender’s rights under this Note must be contained in a writing signed by Lender. Lender may perform Borrower’s obligations, or delay or fail to exercise any of its rights or remedies, without causing a waiver of those obligations or rights. A waiver on one occasion shall not constitute a waiver on another occasion. Borrower’s obligations under this Note shall not be affected if Lender amends, compromises, exchanges, fails to exercise, impairs or releases (i) any of the obligations belonging to any other person or entity (ii) any of its rights against any other person or entity, or (iii) the Collateral or any other property securing the Obligations.

17. WAIVER OF BORROWER. Demand, presentment, protest and notice of dishonor, notice of protest and notice of default are hereby waived by Borrower. Borrower hereby waives relief under valuation and appraisement laws and all suretyship defenses including but not limited to all defenses based upon impairment of Collateral and all suretyship defenses described in Section 3-605 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Such waiver is entered to the full extent permitted by Section 3-605 (i) of the UCC.

18. NOTICES. Any notices under or pursuant to this Note shall be given in accordance with the Loan Agreement.

19. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence in carrying out all of the provisions in this Note.

20. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. This Note is delivered in, is intended to be performed in, will be construed and enforceable in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of, the State of Ohio, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Borrower agrees that the state and federal courts in the County where Lender is located or any other court in which Lender initiates proceedings shall have exclusive jurisdiction over all matters arising out of this Note, and that service of process in any such proceeding shall be effective if mailed to Borrower at the address set forth herein.

21. JURY WAIVER. BORROWER AND ANY ENDORSER OR GUARANTOR HEREOF WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY MATTERS ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

22. WARRANT OF ATTORNEY. Borrower authorizes any attorney of record to appear for it/them in any court of record, after maturity of this Note, whether by its terms or upon default, acceleration or otherwise, to waive the issuance and service of process, and release all errors, and to confess judgment against it/them in favor of Lender for the principal sum due herein together with interest, charges, court costs and attorneys’ fees. Stay of execution and all exemptions are hereby waived. If this Note or any Obligation is referred to an attorney for collection, and the payment is obtained without the entry of a judgment, the obligors shall pay to the holder of such obligations its attorneys’ fees. EACH OF BORROWER, ENDORSER OR ANY GUARANTOR AGREES THAT AN ATTORNEY WHO IS COUNSEL TO LENDER OR ANY OTHER HOLDER OF SUCH OBLIGATION MAY ALSO ACT AS ATTORNEY OF RECORD FOR BORROWER WHEN TAKING THE ACTIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE IN THIS PARAGRAPH. BORROWER AGREES THAT ANY ATTORNEY TAKING SUCH ACTIONS MAY BE PAID FOR THOSE SERVICES BY LENDER OR HOLDER OF SUCH OBLIGATION.

Any and all rights of the Secured Party provided by this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns.

13. Severability of Modification. If any of the provisions in this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such determination shall not affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of the other provisions in this Agreement.
