1. The name of the Corporation is Massey Coal Services, Inc.

 

2. The amendment adopted is to add Article VII to the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation as follows:

“VII.

1. The Corporation shall indemnify each member of the Board and each officer of the Corporation now or hereafter serving as such, who was, is or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (including an action by, or in the right of, the Corporation), by reason of the fact that he is or was a Board member, officer, or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Board member, officer, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

2. Said indemnification shall be against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the aforementioned individuals in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, including any appeal thereof, if they acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Corporation.

3. No indemnification shall be made in respect to any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his duties to the Corporation, except to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability and in view of all the circumstances of the cases, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses that such court shall deem proper. Indemnity with respect to any criminal action or proceeding will be provided only when the Board member or officer has no reasonable cause to believe his act was unlawful.

4. The amount paid to any Board member, officer or agent of the Corporation by way of indemnification shall not exceed the actual, reasonable and necessary expenses incurred in connection with the matter involved. The foregoing right of indemnification shall be in addition to but not exclusive of, any other right to which such Board member, or officer of the Corporation may otherwise be entitled by law.”

 

3. Such amendment was adopted by written consent of the sole stockholder of the Corporation on June 10, 2008.
