ACTUAL PRODUCTION ROYALTY. 5.1 The “Actual Production Royalty” which shall be paid to COLT by Lessee, when due and without demand by COLT, for each ton of two thousand (2,000) pounds of Coal mined from the Premises by Lessee, its agents, contractors or assigns, and sold to Bona Fide Purchasers or used and consumed by Lessee during the term hereof shall be the greater of three dollars and forty cents ($3.40) or eight and one-half percent (8 1/2%) of the Gross Sales Price of such Coal, all f.o.b. the mine site Loading Point (and net of any royalty paid by Lessee to any governmental lessor). The volumes used to calculate the Actual Production Royalty will be the actual tons paid for by Bona Fide Purchasers. 5.2 If Coal mined from the Premises is blended or commingled with coal mined elsewhere than from the Premises, then each month, Lessee shall determine the estimated quantity of Coal mined from the Premises by prorating the total actual tonnage mined from all sources among the properties from which coal was mined on the basis of volumetric measurements of the quantity of coal mined from each of the sources or properties. Such volumetric measurements shall be based on surveys performed by Lessee’s chief engineer or other person reasonably acceptable to COLT. The quantity of coal upon which Lessee pays Actual Production Royalty shall be determined by pro rating an “engineer’s measurement” of the area mined out during each month between Premises’ Coal and non-Premises’ coal and then applying that ratio to either the actual tons paid for by Bona Fide Purchasers that month under section 5.1 or consumed coal under section 5.3(b), as appropriate. Calculations of the coal tonnage removed shall be based on the localized average height of the coal seam mined and processed by Lessee, exclusive of rock and other refuse within and without the actual coal seam. Coal weight shall be calculated at 80.0 pounds per cubic foot on the volume derived from said measurements. Measurement of the thickness of coal shall be conducted not less than once per month by representatives of Lessee for the purpose of obtaining the average section or sections to be used in computing the net tonnage extracted during the preceding month. Such measurements shall be made at all places necessary to establish a fair average. COLT shall be permitted to join Lessee in conducting said measurements if COLT so desires. For any month in which Lessee determines the quantity of Coal mined and/or shipped from the Premises by prorating, Lessee shall include with its royalty payment a copy of the calculations whereby Lessee determined such prorating, together with any other supporting documentation reasonably requested by COLT. (a) If Lessee uses or consumes Coal on the Premises, then Actual Production Royalty on such Coal shall be paid as provided in section 7.3. In such event the parties will meet and negotiate the open market mine mouth price for such Coal in good faith. If after sixty (60) days of negotiation, the parties cannot agree on the open market mine mouth price for the Coal, then the matter shall be resolved by the Dispute Resolution Provisions of section 34 F.; provided, however, that instead of a mining engineer being the arbitrator, the arbitrator will be a coal buyer having more than 20 years experience in buying, selling or brokering coal. (b) If Lessee uses or consumes Coal on the Premises, then it shall maintain accurate belt scales or an accurate batch weighing system. The weights from this system shall govern the calculation of tonnage for such Coal. COLT shall have the right to inspect, review and test said scales or weighing system and be present at any calibration of the scales or weighing system and to receive copies of any documentation about calibration. It is understood that any errors in these respects, when ascertained, shall be promptly recognized and corrected by Lessee. Lessee’s belt scales or weighing system shall be calibrated not less than once every six months during the Primary Term or any Extended Term of this Lease. Should COLT desire more frequent calibration, COLT shall have the right, at COLT’s expense, to have the scales or weighing system calibrated up to twice a year, at anytime. (c) Lessee does not use or consume Coal within the meaning of this Lease by suffering plant loss or a mine fire or other similar involuntary consumption of Coal. (d) The Parties understand and agree that the rail weights and barge draft calculations that may end up governing payment under section 5.1 and the weights that may end up governing payment under section 5.3(b) could be substantially different from engineering calculations of the volume of Coal mined under section 5.2. That is why the volume calculations under section 5.2 are designed to produce only a ratio.
