ARTICLE II

DISPOSAL OF WASTE COAL AND ASH

2.1. Exclusive Right.

(a)Operator shall provide SCRUBGRASS with Waste Coal for the Facility and hereby grants to SCRUBGRASS the exclusive right to remove or have removed any and all Waste Coal now in or hereafter placed on the Stockpiles during the term of this Agreement. The parties estimate that the Stockpiles contain the quantities of Waste Coal set forth on Exhibit A hereto as of execution of this Agreement.

(b)Operator shall use its best efforts to obtain control over the Waste Coal supplies listed in Exhibit H hereto as soon as possible after the execution of this Agreement. Operator hereby grants to SCRUBGRASS a right of first refusal with respect to the exclusive right to remove or have removed any and all Waste Coal now in or hereinafter placed on the Waste Coal supplies listed in Exhibit H over which Operator obtains control and any other Waste Coal supplies in western Pennsylvania over which Operator obtains control_ Upon obtaining control over any such Waste Coal supply, Operator shall promptly supply a written notice setting forth the location of such supply together with the information required by Section 2.8 hereto. SCRUBGRASS shall have ninety (90) days from the receipt of such notice to elect in writing to exercise its right to first refusal and to have such Waste Coal supply added to Exhibit A hereto and to Exhibit A to the Security Agreement. SCRUBGRASS shall have no obligation to exercise its right of first refusal with respect to any of the Waste Coal supplies listed on Exhibit H or any other Waste Coal supplies over which Operator gains control.

2.2. Annual Forecast. Sixty (60) days prior to the beginning of each Calendar Year, SCRUBGRASS shall prepare a waste disposal forecast for such* year (the “Forecast”) which shall include an estimate of the tonnage of the Waste Coal to be taken by SCRUBGRASS from the Stockpiles during that Calendar Year. Such removal schedule shall be determined by SCRUBGRASS in its sole discretion. SCRUBGRASS may adjust the Forecast from time to time during the Calendar Year. The Forecast is only an estimate made to facilitate planning and coordination between the parties and the parties shall have no obligation to take or supply Waste Coal in the quantities specified therein.

2.3. Minimum Take. Beginning in the Calendar Year 2002 in which SCRUBGRASS takes Waste Coal from the Stockpiles and in each Calendar Year thereafter, SCRUBGRASS shall take, and Operator shall deliver at least three hundred thousand (300,000) tons of Waste Coal from the Stockpiles, so long as there is a sufficient quantity of Waste Coal meeting the Average Quality Characteristics available from the Stockpiles. If SCRUBGRASS and the Operator do not sign this WASTE DISPOSAL AGREEMENT prior to January 1, 2002, then the Minimum Take shall not apply during the Calendar Year 2002. If deliveries are suspended, pursuant to Section 4.1 or as a result of a Force Majeure Event or rejected pursuant to Section 4.3, SCRUBGRASS shall not be obligated to take, and Operator shall not be obligated to deliver, the minimum quantity specified in this Section 2.3 In such event, the obligation to take Waste Coal shall be reduced for the applicable Calendar Year or Years by the amount of Waste Coal which would have otherwise been taken from the Stockpile during the period of suspension or Force Majeure in accordance with the

Forecast and Schedule in effect as of the suspension or Force Majeure Event.. The parties acknowledge that no payment is being made for the Waste Coal to be disposed of hereunder. If SCRUBGRASS fails to take the foregoing minimum quantities of Waste Coal in any Calendar Year, SCRUBGRASS shall pay to Operator Handling Fees for such Calendar Year in an amount equal to the Handling Fees that would have been paid to Operator if SCRUBGRASS had taken the foregoing minimum quantities of Waste Coal during such Calendar Year. SCRUBGRASS shall receive a credit against the Handling Fees due and payable to Operator in subsequent Calendar Years for the quantities, if any, of Waste Coal taken in such subsequent Calendar Year(s) that are in excess of the foregoing minimum quantities. Such credit shall be equal to (i) the Handling Fees actually paid to Operator in any Calendar Year during which SCRUBGRASS does not take the foregoing minimum quantities, minus (ii) the Handling Fees due to Operator for such Calendar Year for the quantities of Waste Coal actually taken during that Calendar Year.

2.4. [Reserved]

2.5. Deliveries of Ash. SCRUBGRASS shall have the right, but not the obligation, to dispose of Ash at the Sites in quantities not to exceed the lesser of (i) the tonnage of the Waste Coal taken from the Stockpiles or (ii) the quantity of Ash allowed to be disposed of at a Site pursuant to the DEP permit or other authorization for the disposal of Ash at that Site. Operator shall receive, handle and utilize the Ash solely at its own cost and expense in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the use restrictions set forth in Exhibit E. Operator may utilize or dispose of the Ash only at those Sites which have been approved and permitted by all federal, state and local governmental authorities which are required to issue permits for Ash disposal. Operator shall have no obligation to take Ash in violation of any restrictions in permits issued in connection with Ash disposed of at the Stockpile sites.

2.6.Disposal of Hazardous Substances. Operator covenants not to dispose of any Hazardous Substance, municipal solid waste, residual waste or any other waste material except Ash or Waste Coal as provided herein on the Stockpiles (including, but not limited to, residual soil and groundwater).

2.7. Testing, Title and Environmental Reports.

(a)Operator shall, at its own expense, have performed tests to verify the quality and quantity of the coal refuse materials contained in the Stockpiles listed on Exhibits A and H hereto and shall have a title report and a certified survey prepared for each such stockpile (such survey shall indicate the location of all easements and other encumbrances affecting the property covered by the Stockpile). Such tests, title report and surveys shall be performed by an entity and in a manner, and the report delivered on the results of such testing and the surveys shall be in a form, reasonably acceptable to SCRUBGRASS. Operator shall have such testing and title report on, and surveys of, such stockpiles completed and a final report and surveys delivered to SCRUBGRASS within forty-five (45) days of the execution of this Agreement. Operator shall use its best efforts to remove or cure any title defect on any Stockpile that would prevent SCRUBGRASS taking Waste Coal from or disposing of Ash on such Site or obtaining title insurance, at commercially reasonable rates, on its security interest in such Stockpile. In the event that Operator fails to cure or remove any title defect that prevents SCRUBGRASS from obtaining title insurance, at commercially reasonable rates, on its security interest in a Stockpile,

SCRUBGRASS shall have the option to remove such Stockpile from Exhibit A. SCRUBGRASS, in its sole discretion, may advance funds to Operator to pay for such testing, title reports and surveys. In the event that SCRUBGRASS advances funds to Operator for such purposes, the amount of such advances shall be credited against any Handling Fees that SCRUBGRASS owes to Operator under Section 5.1 hereof.

(b)SCRUBGRASS may, at its own cost and expense, have a Phase I environmental study performed on each of the Stockpiles by an environmental consultant reasonably acceptable to SCRUBGRASS and Operator. SCRUBGRASS and Operator agree that ENSR Consulting and Engineering is an acceptable environmental consultant. In the event that any such environmental study indicates that there may be hazardous materials or substances located in any Stockpile, SCRUBGRASS shall have the option to remove such Stockpile from Exhibit A or H hereto and shall have no obligation to accept, and Operator shall not deliver, any Waste Coal from such Stockpile. SCRUBGRASS may exercise this option by providing written notice to Operator. Operator shall have no obligation to perform any environmental remediation or clean-up, other than site reclamation, to allow SCRUBGRASS to take Waste Coal from a Stockpile.

The Schedule shall also designate the specific

Stockpile or Stockpiles from which Waste Coal will be taken in the following month and the specific Site or Sites at which Ash will be disposed. The Schedule may indicate that loading and hauling may be required seven (7) days a week from 6:00 a.m. through 10:00 p.m., or established operating hours as mutually agreed to by SCRUBGRASS and the Operator for specific Stockpiles. SCRUBGRASS may adjust and update the Schedule from time to time during each month, provided that SCRUBGRASS gives Operator three (3) days advance notice of any such adjustment. Such three (3) day notice shall not be required in the event of an emergency or in the event that SCRUBGRASS elects to take Waste Coal from Stockpiles other than those specified in the Schedule due to a suspension under Section 4.1 hereof. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, Operator shall provide all handling, loading and unloading services in accordance with the Schedule. The Monthly Schedule shall also designate the specific Stockpile or Stockpiles from which Waste Coal will be taken in the following month and the specific Site or Sites at which Ash will be disposed.

Additionally, or before the twentieth (20^th) day of each November during the term of this Agreement following the Effective Date, SCRUBGRASS shall transmit to Operator an Annual Schedule indicating the quantities of Waste Coal which it expects to receive from Operator for each month during the following Calendar year and the quantities of Ash to be disposed at the Sites during the each month. Operator shall charge Scrubgrass the Base Fee calculated on such quantities per the Base Fee Table in Section 5.1.a. The Annual Schedule shall also designate the specific Stockpile or Stockpiles from which Waste Coal will be taken in the following Calendar year and the specific Site or Sites at which Ash will be disposed.

3.4. Permits. Operator shall obtain, at its own expense, any and all permits necessary for the removal of Waste Coal from the Stockpiles and for the disposal of Ash at the Sites. Such permits shall be obtained within the time frames that are reasonably requested by SCRUBGRASS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Section 2.6, SCRUBGRASS shall have no obligation to take any Waste Coal from a Stockpile until the Operator has obtained a permit for the disposal of Ash at the Sites located at such Stockpile. Operator shall submit the initial application for such permits within forty-five (45) days of the receipt of written notice from SCRUBGRASS that it intends to take Waste Coal from such. Stockpile or to dispose of Ash at such Site and shall promptly submit such additional information as may be requested by the governmental entity reviewing such application. Operator shall keep SCRUBGRASS regularly informed regarding the status of obtaining such permits. SCRUBGRASS will assist Operator in obtaining permits required hereunder by providing Operator with any information needed in order to obtain permits required hereunder. In the event that SCRUBGRASS, in its sole discretion, elects to obtain a permit in connection with any of the Stockpiles or Sites, Operator will take such actions as are reasonably requested by SCRUBGRASS to assist SCRUBGRASS in obtaining such permit.

3.5. Handling by SCRUBGRASS. Except in the case of a Force Majeure Event (other than a strike or labor dispute that prevents Operator, but does not prevent SCRUBGRASS, from. performing Operator’s obligations under this Agreement), in the event that Operator fails to handle the Waste Coal or Ash in accordance with its obligations hereunder for a one (1) week period, then SCRUBGRASS in its sole discretion, may load Waste Coal and unload Ash until such time as Operator demonstrates that it is prepared to resume its obligations hereunder. In such case Operator shall provide SCRUBGRASS or its contractor(s) with access to Loading Points at the Stockpile at

such times as may be reasonably required by SCRUBGRASS. No Handling Fee shall be payable for the period that SCRUBGRASS loads the Waste Coal and unloads Ash. Operator shall reimburse SCRUBGRASS for costs reasonably incurred by SCRUBGRASS in connection with such handling activities to the extent such costs exceed the Handling Fee that would have otherwise been payable to Operator hereunder pursuant to Section 5.1 and SCRUBGRASS may exercise its offset rights pursuant to Section 5.3. SCRUBGRASS shall be entitled to rely on permits obtained by Operator regarding such operations to the full extent permitted by law. Operator will take any and all actions necessary to allow SCRUBGRASS to remove Waste Coal from the Stockpiles and to dispose of Ash at the Sites under Operator’s permits. While performing under this Section 15, SCRUBGRASS shall comply with applicable permit requirements and restrictions.

3.6.Payment of Taxes. Operator shall pay all applicable federal, state and local taxes, or assessments required by law, including, but not limited to any federal coal excise tax imposed, or pursuant to any collective bargaining agreement in connection with and on any coal, ash, mining, or other activities relating to coal or ash, including without limitation, reclamation activities. Operator shall hold SCRUBGRASS harmless, and defend SCRUBGRASS upon demand, from any tax claims, liens, assessments or any other costs or expenses associated with the coal, ash or mining, transporting or other activities related to the coal and ash. SCRUBGRASS shall cooperate with Operator in the event that there is ever an imposition of any taxes on the Waste Coal and Operator, at its sole cost and expense, deems it advisable to challenge such imposition. If during the term of this Agreement there are changes in the federal, state or local tax laws, or in the federal, state or local regulation of the removal of Waste Coal or the disposal of Ash, not known or foreseeable at the time of signing this Agreement (other than changes in the federal, state or local tax laws that effect the amount of taxes paid by the Operator on its income, revenues or net worth) which become effective and which effect the cast of performance under this Agreement, Operator shall promptly notify SCRUBGRASS in writing and submit detailed documentation of such effect in terms of cost of performing under this Agreement. Within sixty (60) days following the receipt of such notice, SCRUBGRASS shall elect in writing to either (i) reimburse Operator for such increased costs that Operator is required to pay in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement as a result of such changes, or (ii) terminate this Agreement without further liability to the Operator (except for Handling Fees due and owing to the Operator hereunder at the time of termination). In the event that SCRUBGRASS elects to reimburse Operator for its increase tax liability or regulatory costs, Operator shall provide SCRUBGRASS as part of the invoice submitted by Operator to SCRUBGRASS pursuant to Section 5.1 (b) a detailed statement showing the computation of such increased tax liability or regulatory costs. If during the term of this Agreement the Operator’s cost of performance under this Agreement increases due to union activities at the Stockpiles that is not known or foreseeable at the time of signing this Agreement, Operator shall promptly notify SCRUBGRASS in writing and submit detailed documentation of such effect in terms of cost of performing under this Agreement. Operator shall use its best efforts to minimize any such costs. Upon concurrence by SCRUBGRASS as to the effect of such changes SCRUBGRASS shall elect in writing to either (i) make an equitable adjustment in compensation pursuant to a mutually agreed upon amendment to this. Agreement, or (ii) terminate this Agreement without further liability to the Operator (except for Handling Fees due and owing to the Operator hereunder at the time of termination).

In connection with providing such access, Operator shall execute and deliver to SCRUB GRASS an Easement Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G for each of, the properties listed on Exhibit A at the time of entering into this Agreement and for each additional property added to Exhibit A pursuant to Section 2.1 (b) hereof at the time such property is added to Exhibit A. SCRUBGRASS shall comply with any applicable state and federal regulations and safety rules and procedures which Operator may from time to time have in force at the Stockpiles or Sites so long as SCRUBGRASS has been given written notice of such rules and procedures.

ARTICLE IV

DELIVERIES

4.1. Waste Coal. Quality, Suspension of Deliveries. Waste Coal provided by Operator hereunder shall conform to the Average Quality Characteristics for the Stockpile specified in Exhibit C on an as received twenty-four (24) hour basis, as determined by the sampling and testing program set forth in Exhibit D. If the weighted average of the quality characteristics of the Waste Coal taken from the Stockpile to the Facility fails to conform to the Average Quality Characteristics for any twenty-four (24) hour period, SCRUBGRASS, by notice to Operator, may suspend taking further Waste Coal from the Stockpile from which the materials not conforming to the Average Quality Characteristics were taken. Such notice shall include the daily results of the sampling and testing program, conducted in accordance with Exhibit D, the daily tonnages delivered as determined in accordance with Section 4.5, and such other data as is deemed applicable by SCRUBGRASS. Upon receipt of such notice, Operator shall undertake diligently and in good faith all such actions as shall be necessary to correct the conditions causing the Waste Coal to deviate from the Average Quality Characteristics. Such suspension shall continue until Operator provides adequate assurances in writing to SCRUBGRASS that conditions have been corrected and SCRUBGRASS has accepted Operator’s assurances in writing, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Operator is unable to correct the condition prompting the suspension within sixty (60) days after receipt of a notice of suspension, SCRUBGRASS shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remove the Stockpile from which the Waste Coal taken failed to conform to the Average Quality Characteristics from Exhibit A hereto or to terminate this Agreement- without further liability hereunder (except with regard to Handling Fees due and owing to Operator at the time of such termination). During any such period of suspension, SCRUBGRASS may, but is not obligated to, take Waste Coal from Stockpiles other than those from which deliveries have been suspended.

4.2.Inspection of Waste Coal. SCRUBGRASS shall be entitled to conduct visual inspections and testing of all Waste Coal provided hereunder. SCRUBGRASS may, in its sole discretion, reject any truckload of Waste Coal delivered if it determines on the basis of such visual inspection or testing that such truckload of Waste Coal (a) is equal to or exceeds the sulfur, moisture, ash or size Rejection Limits set forth in Exhibit C or is equal to or less than the Btu/lb Rejection Limit set forth in Exhibit C; (b) exhibits handling characteristics which are not

compatible with SCRUBGRASS’s fuel handling system (large oversize material, tramp materials, clay, or excessive wet fines); (c) does not comply with Facility permits or applicable laws or regulations concerning fuel to be used at the Facility; or (d) is contaminated with Hazardous Substances or foreign substances or materials. At the option of SCRUBGRASS any rejected truckload may be returned to Operator.

4.3. Rejection of a Delivery. Upon rejection of any truckload of Waste Coal pursuant to Section 4.2, SCRUBGRASS shall notify Operator and provide a brief written statement setting forth the date, the delivery vehicle and reasons for rejection. SCRUBGRASS shall take a sample of the materials contained in any rejected truckload and shall have such sample tested in accordance with Exhibit D. If the sample taken from the rejected truckload indicates that SCRUBGRASS was entitled to reject the truckload, the cost of transportation and handling of such load from the Stockpile to the Facility, and if applicable, from the Facility back to the Stockpile, and of the testing shall be borne by Operator. If SCRUBGRASS was not entitled to reject the truckload pursuant to Section 4.2, SCRUBGRASS shall bear any transportation, handling and testing costs incurred as a result of its rejection of the truckload.

4.4. Waste Coal Sampling and Analysis. Procedures for, and the frequency of, Waste Coal sampling and analysis shall be established in accordance with Exhibit D. In addition, SCRUBGRASS may collect samples from each truckload delivered, and may take samples directly from the Stockpiles for analysis as it deems necessary or advisable. SCRUBGRASS shall deliver to Operator on a daily basis, or such otherwise mutually agreed upon time interval, quality reports for all Waste Coal shipped during the previous day, together with a manifest indicating the source of shipment for each truckload shipped.

4.5. Weighing and Reporting. To determine the weight of the Waste Coal removed from. the Stockpile to the Facility, each truck that has been loaded with Waste Coal shall be weighed on a calibrated scale upon arrival at the Facility, and shall be weighed again, either on a calibrated scale at the Facility or by an on board scale system that has been installed on SCRUBGRASS’s trucks, prior to its departure from the Facility after the Waste Coal has been unloaded. Trucks shall also be weighed prior to departure from the Facility if Ash is loaded for removal to the Site. SCRUBGRASS shall provide Operator on a daily basis, or such otherwise mutually agreed upon time interval, reports specifying the tonnage of Waste Coal removed from the Stockpiles to the Facility and the tonnage of Ash loaded for removal to the Sites. Operator shall be entitled upon reasonable notice to SCRUBGRASS to inspect the measurement data and conduct tests on the accuracy of the scale, or review reports of any such tests conducted by SCRUBGRASS, in order to verify the accuracy of SCRUBGRASS’s measurements. If the weighing devices at the Facility are at any time found to be more than two (2%) percent in error, an equitable adjustment in the amount appropriate will promptly be made, or in the absence of definite information ^-as to when such emir began, the adjustment will be made on the bails of such error having existed for one-half the time between the discovery of the error and the most recent test indicating that the weighing devices were accurate. If the scale at the Facility fails to operate, the weight of Waste Coal taken or Ash delivered shall be determined by the on board scale systems that may be installed on SCRUBGRASS’s trucks. If such onboard scale systems have not been installed on SCRUBGRASS’s trucks, the per-truck weight of the Waste Coal taken or Ash delivered shall be deemed to be the average per-truck weight of Waste Coal and Ash during the previous thirty (30) day period. Scrubgrass shall make reasonable efforts to promptly repair the scale at the Facility.

Title to, risk of loss of, and risk of damage or injury resulting from any materials accepted at the Facility which are not Waste Coal and which were contained in the Waste Coal when loaded onto SCRUBGRASS’s trucks at the Stockpile, and liability for costs associated with the delivery or disposal thereof, shall always remain with Operator. Title and risk of loss of Ash disposed of at the Sites, and risk of damage or injury to third parties or the environment, shall pass to Operator when Ash is unloaded at the Site. Title to, risk of loss of, and risk of damage or injury resulting from any materials disposed of at the Sites which are not Ash, and the liability for costs associated with the delivery is disposal thereof, shall always remain with SCRUBGRASS.

4.7.Indemnification

(a)Operator shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless SCRUBGRASS, it’s affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, partners, contractors and assigns from all expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) losses, claims or liabilities (including fines, penalties or other liability imposed by a governmental agency) for injury to or death of any person, for damage to or destruction of (inclining environmental pollution) any property, and for violation of any federal, state or local law, rule of ordinance (including laws respecting protection of the environment) arising out of, or in connection with Operator’s loading of waste coal or unloading, use, storage or disposal of Ash acquired from SCRUBGRASS pursuant to this Agreement Operator will not be required to indemnify SCRUBGRASS for any injury, damage or violation to the extent caused by SCRUBGRASS’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b)SCRUBGRASS shall indemnify, defend and hold Operator, its directors, officers, employees, agents, parties, contractors and assigns harmless from all expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) losses, claims or liabilities (including fines, penalties or other liability imposed by a governmental agency) for injury to or death of any person, for damage to or destruction of (including environmental pollution) any property, and for violation of any federal, state or local law, rule of ordinance (including laws respecting protection of the environment) which is in any manner connected with or arises out of the occurrence of Hazardous Materials in the Ash or out of SCRUBGRASS’s activities on the Site, and at SCRUBGRASS’s expense, shall defend any such action for injury, damage or violation as may be brought against Operator, its directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, and assigns; provided, however, SCRUBGRASS will not be required to indemnify Operator for any injury, damage or violation to the extent caused by Operator’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In addition, SCRUBGRASS will not be required to indemnify Operator or have any continuing liability to Operator with respect to the Ash if the Ash is commingled with any other materials.

4.8. Demurrage. Except in the case of a Force Majeure Event, Operator shall cause SCRUBGRASS’s trucks to unload Ash in a manner that will permit SCRUBGRASS’s trucks to achieve a total turn around time of ten (10) minutes or less on a daily average basis measured on a gate-to-gate basis as the total time interval between the time SCRUBGRASS’s trucks enter and exit the Ash unloading area at the Site. SCRUBGRASS’s trucks shall not arrive at the gate to the Ash unloading Area more often than in ten (10) minute intervals. In the event that one of SCRUBGRASS’s trucks arrives at the gate to the Ash unloading area within ten (10) minutes of

the arrival time of SCRUBGRASS’s immediately preceding truck, then for purposes of calculating the total turn-around time of such truck the truck shall be deemed to have arrived at Operator’s gate at the earlier of (i) ten (10) minutes after the arrival time of SCRUBGRASS’s immediately preceding truck or (ii) the time Operator completes unloading Ash from SCRUBGRASS’s immediately preceding truck. SCRUBGRASS’s trucks shall keep detailed records on tuna around time. If a dispute arises between SCRUBGRASS and Operator as to average turn around time, SCRUBGRASS shall furnish to Operator copies of the records concerning turn around time that it receives from its independent trucker. When determining the daily average turn around time, any trucks arriving at the gate to the Ash unloading area prior to established operating hours shall not be considered. If the total turn around for SCRUBGRASS’s trucks exceeds ten (10) minutes on a daily average basis for unloading of Ash, SCRUBGRASS shall be entitled to deduct from the Handling Fees payable to Operator under this Agreement a demurrage charge equal to the demurrage charge assessed SCRUBGRASS under any hauling or transportation contract entered into by SCRUBGRASS to provide for the transportation of Ash from the Facility to the Site.

4.9. Road Bonding. Operator, at its expense, shall bond and maintain the road access for sites.

ARTICLE V

FEES

5.1. Handling Fee.

(a)Scrubgrass shall pay Operator a management, handling, loading and unloading fee for all services provided hereunder with respect to the Waste Coal and the Ash in accordance with the following schedule of base fee’s and volume adjustment calculations (the “Handling Fee”):

Base Fees Table


Aggregate Tons of Waste Coal Loaded Onto Scrubgrass’s Trucks During Calendar Year From Ali Stockpiles	Amount of Base Handling Fee’s For All Waste Coal Loaded Onto Scrubgrass’s Trucks At Sites With Ash Disposal	Amount of Base Handling Fee’s For All Waste Coal Loaded Onto Scrubgrass’s Trucks At Sites Without Ash Disposal

Less than or equal to 300,000 tons	$5.40 per ton	$3.90 per ton

Greater than 300,000 tons, but less than or equal to 400.000 tons	$5.20 per ton	$3.70 per ton


Greater than 400,000 tons, but less than or equal to 500,000 tons	$5.00 per ton	$3.50 per ton

Greater than 500,000 tons,	$4.60 per ton	$3.10 per ton

(b)A site is considered to have ash disposal if it is permitted and capable of receiving ash tonnes of more than 64 percent of the amount of the fuel tonnage taken from the site in a given billing period, or as mutually agreed by the Operator and SCRUBGRASS from time to time. It is recognized from time to time that ash return could be disrupted for short periods of time due to circumstances at a Site. In these situations the Base Handling Fee for Waste Coal loaded onto SCRUBGRASS’s trucks at Sites without Ash disposal will apply. If ash disposal is disrupted for longer than four weeks, a default situation will occur.

(c)Due to variations in fuel quality, more or less fuel will be required from the Operator. To account for these variations a Volume Adjustment must be calculated and applied to the Base Handling Fee to determine the Handling Fee to be applied to each site during a billing period. The volume adjustments are calculated as follows for the aggregate tons of Waste Coal received from all sites during the billing period.

BTU Volume Adjustment, aggregate tons from all sites =-

If the Weighted Average Fuel BTU is greater than 7,500 BTU, as received - then,

=[(If Weighted Average Fuel BTU, as received) – (7,500 BTU, as received) * ($0.10/Ton)

100 BTU

or if, the Weighted. Average Fuel BTU is greater than or equal to 6,500 BTU, as received and less than or equal to 7,500 BTU, as received - then,

or if, the Weighted Average Fuel BTU is less than 6,500 BTU, as received - then,

=[(If Weighted Average Fuel BTU, as received) – (6,500 BTU, as received) * ($0.30/Ton)

100 BTU

% Sulfur Volume Adjustment, aggregate tons from all sites =

If the Weighted Average Fuel % Sulfur is greater than 2.5 % Sulfur, as received - then,

=[(2.50 % Sulfur, as received) – (Weighted Average Fuel % Sulfur, as received) * ($0.14/Ton)]

(0.25 % Sulfur]

or if, the Weighted Average Fuel % Sulfur is greater than or equal to 1.5 % Sulfur, as received and less than or equal to 2.5 % Sulfur, as received - then,

or if, the Weighted Average Fuel % Sulfur is less than 1.5 %Sulfur, as received - then,

=[(1.50 % Sulfur, as received) – (Weighted Average Fuel % Sulfur, as received) * ($0.14/Ton)]

(0.25 % Sulfur]

(d)The Handling Fee for each site during the billing period is calculated,

Handling Fee, site = Base Fee, site + BTU Volume Adjustment, aggregate tons from all sites + % Sulfur Volume Adjustment, aggregate tons from all sites

(e)The amount of the Handling Fee payable to Operator shall be determined on the basis of the actual aggregate quantities of Waste Coal loaded by Operator onto SCRUBGRASS’s trucks during the Calendar Year. Operator shall submit two invoices each month. The first invoice is for the billing period from the first day through the fifteenth day of the month. The second invoice is for the billing period from the sixteenth day to the end of the month. All invoices shall be submitted by Operator within ten business days of the end of the billing period. Operator shall calculate the amount payable by SCRUBGRASS for the billing period based on. the amount of the Handling Fee calculated for each fuel site. The Handling Fee shall be paid within (30) days after SCRUBGRASS’s receipt of the Operator’s invoice for all Waste Coal shipped during the billing period, for which quality reports have been received, together with a detailed calculation of the amount due.

(f)As of January 1, 2003, and at the beginning of each Calendar year thereafter, the amount of the Base Handling Fee set forth in 5.1(a) shall be increased over the amount of the Base Handling Fee for the previous calendar year at a rate of three and one/half (3.5%) percent per year. The Base Handling Fee rate for the years 2001 and 2002 are held the same.

(g)The Aggregate Tons of Waste Coal loaded onto Scrubgrass’s Trucks during Calendar Year from all stockpiles is determined by the Annual Schedule as described in Section 3.3, Monthly and Annual Schedules.

(h)The Handling Fee shall be the sole compensation paid to the Operator for all activities, including without limitation, environmental compliance, excavation, loading of

Waste Coal and unloading of Ash, Ash disposal and site reclamation. If SCRUBGRASS does not take Waste Coal or deliver Ash for any reason it shall not be obligated to pay the Handling Fee.

(i)On or before February 15 of each Calendar Year, Operator shall transmit to Scrubgrass a statement of the total tons of Waste Coal Loaded onto SCRUBGRASS’s trucks during the immediately preceding Calendar Year from all Stockpiles. Such statement shall include an invoice for all such tons loaded priced in accordance with the Base Fee Table in Section 5.1.a, less all amounts billed to Scrubgrass during such Calendar Year (the “Annual True-Up”). If the Annual True-Up is negative (i.e., amounts invoiced to Scrubgrass exceed the Base Fee calculated according to actual tons loaded), then Scrubgrass shall deduct such amount from subsequent invoices. If the Annual True Up is positive, Scrubgrass shall pay such amount coincidentally with the next regularly scheduled payment. Any dispute regarding the Annual True-Up shall be handled as set forth in Section 17.0.

5.2. Lien Waiver. Operator waives the right to file, effect, enforce or otherwise assert any liens on, or to assert any claim against, the Facility and acknowledges and agrees that no claim for payment under this Agreement shall result in any lien on, or security interest in the Facility, except to the extent Operator is entitled to, and does obtain a judgment against SCRUBGRASS for Handling Fees that are due and owing, Operator may file a judgment lien.

5.3. Offset. SCRUBGRASS shall have the right to retain out of amounts due to Operator an amount sufficient to pay amounts due to SCRUBGRASS by Operator hereunder, to protect SCRUBGRASS from losses, damages or expenses suffered or reasonably anticipated to be suffered as a result of any breach of this Agreement by Operator or as a result of any claim asserted against SCRUBGRASS or its property which is chargeable to Operator’s performance hereunder. SCRUBGRASS shall notify Operator of the extent of any such retention and provide a statement of the basis for such retention.
