Amendment and Restatement of 2005
Long-Term Incentive Plan
On May
14, 2008, the stockholders of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. ("Alpha" or the
"Company"), at the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"),
approved the amendment and restatement of the Company's 2005 Long-Term Incentive
Plan (as amended and restated, the "2005 LTIP").  Among other
amendments, the stockholders approved an amendment to the 2005 LTIP which
increased the number of shares available for issuance under the 2005 LTIP from
3,338,841 to 8,838,841.  In addition, the stockholders approved
amendments to the 2005 LTIP to ensure that the Company can continue to make
awards under the 2005 LTIP that are intended to comply with Section 162(m) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended, the "Code"), including the
incorporation of performance criteria and award limits, which are applicable to
certain awards thereunder.
The above
description is qualified in its entirety by a copy of the 2005 LTIP which is
attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by
reference.
(2)                 Adoption
of 2008 Annual Incentive Bonus Plan
On May
14, 2008, the stockholders of Alpha at the Annual Meeting approved the Alpha
Natural Resources, Inc. 2008 Annual Incentive Bonus Plan (the "2008 AIB
Plan").  The 2008 AIB Plan was implemented to provide cash incentives
to certain executive officers and key employees with significant responsibility
for achieving performance goals critical to the Company's success and
growth.
The
purpose of the 2008 AIB Plan is to advance the interests of Alpha and its
stockholders by providing incentives to key employees with significant
responsibility for achieving performance goals critical to the Company's success
and growth.  The plan is designed to: (i) promote the attainment of
significant business objectives; (ii) encourage and reward management teamwork
across the entire Company; and (iii) assist in the attraction and retention of
employees vital to the Company's long-term success.
The 2008
AIB Plan will be administered by the Company's Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee");
provided
,
however
, that all acts and
authority of the Compensation Committee relating to the 2008 AIB Plan will be
subject to the provisions of the Compensation Committee's charter, as amended
from time to time, and such other authority as may be delegated to the
Compensation Committee by the Board.  Subject to certain restrictions,
the Compensation Committee may delegate certain powers and authority under the
2008 AIB Plan to the Company's officers as it deems necessary or
appropriate.  The Compensation Committee will have full authority and
discretion to determine eligibility for participation in the 2008 AIB Plan, make
awards under the plan, establish the terms and conditions of such awards
(including the performance goal(s) and the performance measure(s) to be
utilized) and determine whether the performance goals applicable for any awards
have been achieved. The Compensation Committee will also set the performance
period for which a participant's performance will be calculated, which period
may consist of the entire calendar year or other fiscal period within a calendar
year of less than twelve months.  The Compensation Committee will
also, subject to the provisions of the 2008 AIB Plan, have the authority and
discretion to determine the extent to which awards under the plan will be
structured to conform to Section 162(m) of the Code.  The Compensation
Committee is authorized to interpret the 2008 AIB Plan, to adopt administrative
rules, regulations and guidelines for the plan, and will be authorized to
correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency or
conflict in the plan or in any award.
The
Compensation Committee will designate executive officers or other key employees
to be participants in the 2008 AIB Plan.  Subject to certain
exceptions set forth in the 2008 AIB Plan, in order to receive a bonus,
participants must be employed by us continuously throughout the performance
period.  No bonus or any right thereto will be assignable or
transferable by a participant except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution.
The
amount of a participant's award may be based on a percentage of such
participant's salary or such other methods as may be established by the
Compensation Committee.  The maximum amount that may be awarded and
paid under the 2008 AIB Plan to a participant for any calendar year will not
exceed $10,000,000.
With
respect to awards that are intended to be performance-based under Section 162(m)
of the Code, the Compensation Committee will establish written objective
performance goals for each performance period, which may include the
following:  cash flow; cash flow from operations; earnings (including,
but not limited to, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and
amortization or some variation thereof); earnings per share, diluted or basic;
earnings per share from continuing operations; net asset turnover; inventory
turnover; capital expenditures; debt; debt reduction; working capital; return on
investment; return on sales; net or gross sales; market share; economic value
added; cost of capital; change in assets; expense reduction levels;
productivity; delivery performance; safety record and/or performance; stock
price; return on equity; total or relative increases to stockholder return;
return on invested capital; return on assets or net assets; revenue; income or
net income; operating income or net operating income; operating profit or net
operating profit; gross margin, operating margin or profit margin; and
completion of acquisitions, business expansion, product diversification, new or
expanded market penetration and other non-financial operating and management
performance objectives.
To the
extent consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code, the Compensation Committee
may determine that certain adjustments will apply, in whole or in part, in such
manner as specified by the committee, to exclude the effect of any of the
following events that occur during a performance period: the impairment of
tangible or intangible assets, litigation or claim judgments or settlements,
changes in tax law, accounting principles or other such laws or provisions
affecting reported results, business combinations, reorganizations and/or
restructuring programs, including but not limited to reductions in force and
early retirement incentives, currency fluctuations, and any extraordinary,
unusual, infrequent or non-recurring items, including, but not limited to, such
items described in management's discussion and analysis of financial condition
and results of operations or the financial statements and/or notes thereto
appearing in the Company's annual report for the applicable period.
The
Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may also establish such
additional restrictions or conditions (performance-based or
non-performance-based) that must be satisfied as a condition precedent to the
payment of all or a portion of any awards.  The committee will also
have sole discretion to reduce the amount of any award to a participant if it
determines that such reduction is necessary or appropriate based upon certain
factors and conditions set forth in the 2008 AIB Plan.
The 2008
AIB Plan is intended to continue in force from year to year.  The
Company, however, reserves the right to amend, modify or terminate the plan, at
any time;
provided,
however
, that no such modification, amendment or termination will,
without the consent of the participant, materially adversely affect the rights
of such participant to any outstanding payment under the plan.  The
Compensation Committee may, at any time, however, modify, amend or terminate any
or all of the provisions of the plan to the extent necessary to conform the
