FORMATION OF THE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY
1.1 FORMATION. December 11, 1997, the Company was formed by filing a duly
executed Certificate of Formation with the Delaware Secretary of State in
accordance with and pursuant to the provisions of the Act (as hereinafter
defined). AMFIRE, LLC became one of the Members of the Company on February 13,
2003 when Enterprise Mining Company, LLC (f/k/a Coastal Coal Company, LLC)
transferred 99 Units of the Company to AMFIRE, LLC. If there is a direct
conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any mandatory,

any provision of the Act provides that it may be varied or superseded in the
limited liability company agreement (or otherwise by agreement of the members or
managers of a limited liability company), such provision shall be deemed
superseded and waived in its entirety if this Agreement contains a provision
addressing the same issue or subject matter. If any provisions of this Agreement
would cause the Company not to be taxed as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes under the provisions of the Code, such provisions of the Agreement
shall be void to the extent necessary to ensure the Company is taxed as a
partnership for federal income tax. If there is a conflict between this
Agreement and the Certificate of Formation, the provisions of the Certificate of
Formation shall control.
