Sampling and Analysis The sampling and analysis of the coal shall be performed by Seller upon loading of the coal, and the results thereof shall be accepted and used as defining the quality and characteristics of the coal under this Agreement and as the Payment Analysis. All analyses shall be made in Seller’s laboratory at Seller’s expense in accordance with ASTM standards where applicable, or industry-accepted standards in other cases. Samples for analyses shall be taken in accordance with ASTM standards or other methods mutually acceptable to both parties. Seller shall transmit its quality analysis to Buyer as soon as possible. Each sample taken by Seller shall be divided into four (4) parts and put into airtight containers, properly labeled and sealed. One (1) part shall be used for analysis by Seller. One (1) part shall be used by Seller as a check sample, if Seller in its sole judgment determines it is necessary. One (1) part shall be retained by Seller until thirty (30) days after the sample is taken (“Disposal Date”), and shall be delivered to Buyer for analysis if Buyer so requests before the Disposal Date. One (1) part (the “Referee Sample”) shall be retained by Seller until the Disposal Date. Buyer, on reasonable notice to Seller, shall have the right to have a representative present to observe the sampling and analyses performed by Seller. Unless Buyer requests an analysis of the Referee Sample before the Disposal Date, Seller’s analysis shall be used to determine the quality of the coal under this Agreement and shall be the Payment Analysis. The Monthly Weighted Averages of specifications referenced in §6.1 shall be based on the individual Shipment analyses. If any dispute arises with regard to the analysis of any sample before the Disposal Date for such sample, the Referee Sample retained by Seller shall be submitted for analysis to an independent commercial testing laboratory (“Independent Lab”) mutually chosen by Buyer and Seller. For each coal quality specification in question, if the analysis of the Independent Lab differs by more than the applicable ASTM reproducibility standards, the Independent Lab results will govern, and the prior analysis shall be disregarded. All testing of the Referee Sample by the Independent Lab shall be at requestor’s expense unless the Independent Lab results differ from the original Payment Analysis for any specification by more than the applicable ASTM reproducibility standards as to that specification. In such case, the cost of the analysis made by the Independent Lab shall be borne by the party who provided the original Payment Analysis.
