<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that, among other things, a
corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and agents of the
corporation against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in
settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than actions by or in the right of the corporation, i.e. a
&#147;derivative action&#148;), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is
applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions,
and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person
seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is
not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation&#146;s by-laws,
disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated
by-laws require indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by
Delaware law. It also requires the advancement of expenses incurred by officers and directors in
relation to any action, suit or proceeding.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company expects to enter into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and
certain executive officers providing for the indemnification consistent with the indemnification
provided to them under the Company&#146;s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. It has
also obtained directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance coverage which insures against
liabilities that directors and such officers of the Company, in such capacities, may incur.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in
its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable
to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a
director, except for liability (i)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derives an improper
personal benefit, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law (certain illegal distributions), or (iv)&nbsp;for any breach of a director&#146;s duty of
loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders. The Company&#146;s amended and restated certificate of
incorporation includes such a provision.

amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more

shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,

This registration statement also covers an indeterminate number of additional shares of
common stock of Patriot Coal Corporation (the "Company") that may be issued pursuant to the
Patriot Coal Corporation 2007 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (the "2007 Plan") and/or the
Patriot Coal Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESP Plan") by reason of stock
splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar transactions pursuant to Rule 416(a) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

Estimated solely for the purpose of determining the registration fee in accordance with Rule

Right, as provided in the Rights Agreement dated October 22, 2007 between Patriot and American
Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Such Preferred Share Purchase Rights will not trade

necessitate an additional registration fee.

connection with stock-based awards that may be granted under the 2007 Plan.
(5)

Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") is omitted from this filing in accordance with the
provisions of Rule 428 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and the
introductory note to Part I of Form S-8. The documents containing the information specified in

Incentive Plan (the "2007 Plan") and/or the Patriot Coal Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(the "ESP Plan," and collectively with the 2007 Plan, the "Plans") pursuant to Rule 428(b)(1) of
the Securities Act.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents previously filed by Patriot Coal Corporation (the "Company") with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), are incorporated by reference into the Registration
Statement:
•
The Company's registration statement on Form 10, as amended (File No. 001-33466),
filed by the Company with the Commission on October 12, 2007, including the description
of the Company's common stock and preferred stock purchase rights contained therein,
and any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.
•
The Company's Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on October 12, 2007, October 24, 2007,
October 25, 2007 and October 29, 2007, respectively.
In addition, all documents filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date hereof and prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment indicating that all securities offered pursuant to this Registration Statement have been
sold or deregistering all such securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated
by reference herein and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement
contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be
deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that
a statement contained herein or in any subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not Applicable.
II-1
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that, among other things, a
corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and agents of the
corporation against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in
settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than actions by or in the right of the corporation, i.e. a
"derivative action"), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is
applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions,
and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person
seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is
not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's by-laws,
disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.
The Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated
by-laws require indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by
Delaware law. It also requires the advancement of expenses incurred by officers and directors in
relation to any action, suit or proceeding.
The Company expects to enter into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and
certain executive officers providing for the indemnification consistent with the indemnification
provided to them under the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation. It has
also obtained directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage which insures against
liabilities that directors and such officers of the Company, in such capacities, may incur.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in
its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable
to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a
director, except for liability (i) for any transaction from which the director derives an improper
personal benefit, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law (certain illegal distributions), or (iv) for any breach of a director's duty of
loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders. The Company's amended and restated certificate of
incorporation includes such a provision.
Item 7
.
Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not Applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
See Exhibit Index filed herewith.
Item 9. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
1. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
II-2
(a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more
than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material
change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the undersigned registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement.
(b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
2. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering
thereof.
3. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
II-3
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
II-4
