(a) Initial Coke Price. The Base Price per Ton of Coke, as of December 31, 2002, was $101.00. It has been and shall be adjusted every six (6) month period thereafter through December 3, 2007 in accordance with the adjustment formula set forth in Schedule 3.1(a). Provided, however, the caps for each calendar year
i
applicable to each “Percentage Change” in the “Labor Component”, the “Machinery Component” and the “Steel Component” (as those phrases are defined in Schedule 3.1(a) hereto) shall apply only through December 31, 2005.
(b) Transportation Costs. The Transportation Costs include the actual costs incurred by Xxxxxx to transport Coke to each respective Delivery Point, namely (i) costs and charges payable by Xxxxxx to Norfolk Southern Railway Company (“Norfolk Southern”) in accordance with the transportation agreements between them; (ii) demurrage charges actually incurred by Seller in connection with delays caused by any of the Purchasers in the placement or unloading of Coke at any Delivery Point; and (ii) the actual costs of freeze conditioning agents that are applied to Coke shipments during periods of cold weather at the express, Written request of any of the Purchasers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided Purchasers are not in breach of the Base Agreement, Seller agrees to hold Purchasers harmless with respect to the following charges, which shall not be deemed Transportation Costs:
(i) charges payable by Seller to Norfolk Southern as a result of failure to load trainload shipments to meet the loading percentages of capacity specified in the Transportation Agreement(s);

The Coal Cost Basis is the product of:
The weighted average “Coal Cost per Ton of Coke” from January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007 as determined in accordance with the Haverhill Agreement (as amended) + (the Initial Coke Price in effect as of December 31, 2007 — [Fixed Cost per Ton of Coke + Variable Cost per Ton of Coke]).

ii
in the Transportation Agreements for coal or coke, such increases shall be borne solely by Seller and shall not be passed on to ISG. |
