Sections 6 and 9) for the Term of this Agreement WBT shall make best
efforts to maintain at all times a minimum of a twenty (20) day supply
inventory of Coal at its terminal strictly for the benefit of LWE. If
LWE fails to purchase a minimum of 40,000 Tons of Coal for the calendar
year beginning January 1, 2006 and a minimum of 80,000 Tons of Coal for
the calendar year beginning January 1, 2007 (“Minimum Quantity
Requirement”), LWE shall pay WBT (i) $12.00 per Ton of Coal multiplied
by the difference between the Minimum Quantity Requirement and the
actual Tons of Coal purchased by LWE for the respective calendar year,
less (ii) any amounts that WBT recovers by mitigating its damages. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Ton” shall mean 2,000 pounds avoirdupois
3. SOURCE AND COAL
“Coal” shall mean a Sub-bituminous coal with a Standard Transportation
Commodity Code (STCC) as published in STCC-6001 (series), starting with
the digits 11-21 (series). Coal shall not include beneficiated,
enhanced, or synthetic coal; provided, however, coal treated with
additives used exclusively for dust control or to reduce freezing shall
not be considered “enhanced”.
“Source” shall mean the Powder River Coal Company’s North
Antelope/Xxxxxxxx complex located in Xxxxxxxx or Converse County,
Wyoming. Source Coal shall comply with the specifications set forth in
Section 11 herein.
* | Portion omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and filed separately with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
p.3
WBT shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deliver raw subbituminous coal
from mines other than the Source (“Substitute Coal”) to LWE, with 120 days prior
written consent of LWE, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The
Substitute Coal shall be of similar quality to the Source Coal.
4. BACKUP SUPPLY
Within 90 days of execution of this Agreement, WBT shall provide to LWE proposals
for procuring backup coal supplies. These proposals shall include the price,
quality, quantity and timeliness of receipt of any backup coal. Backup coal
proposals shall include coal of similar quality to that of the Source.
5. TRANSPORTATION PRICE
“Transportation Price” shall consist of the following components: (i) the cost of
transloading Coal at WBT (ii) the cost of transporting the Coal from the Source to
WBT via Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad (“BNSF”) and Canadian National
Railroad (“CN”) (iii) the cost of transporting the Coal from WBT to the Plant via
motor transportation. As of January 00, 0000, XXX’s Transportation Price for Coal
shall be [ * ] per Ton. This Transportation Price is subject to various price
adjustments as contained in Section 6 (“Transportation Price Adjustments”).
6. TRANSPORTATION PRICE ADJUSTMENTS
A. | Beginning April 1, 2005, and each July 1, October 1, January 1 and April 1 thereafter, the Transportation Price will be adjusted by 100% of the percentage change since the previous adjustment in the Rail Cost Adjustment Factor, Unadjusted for Productivity (“RCAFU”), as approved by the Surface Transportation Board pursuant to Ex Parte No.290 (Sub-No.5) (“Adjusted Rates” or “Adjusted Charges”). In no case shall the Adjusted Rates or Adjusted Charges fall below the level of the initial Transportation Price. | ||
B. | A Fuel Surcharge shall apply to the Price. For every [ * ] per gallon above [ * ], the Price shall increase by [ * ] per Ton. The Price shall be adjusted once each month for fuel. The index governing the surcharge is the Energy Information Administration’s average price in cents per gallon for Retail On-Highway Diesel Fuel for the United States (US). The parties agree that the price published on the last Monday of each month shall apply to the following month. Diesel price information is available by calling the Energy Information Administration’s Diesel Fuel Motor & Gasoline Hotline at (000) 000-0000, or under “Featured Topics” on the Administration’s web page at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. The surcharge amount shall be round to the nearest one hundredth. |
7. DELIVERY INFORMATION
To enable LWE to track shipments of the Coal to its plant via rail or truck,
WBT shall provide delivery information to LWE upon reasonable written request

p.4
daily basis. WBT shall also promptly notify LIVE of any potential delivery problems within
24 hours of when it becomes aware of the problem (e.g., damage to WBT terminal, train
derailment, etc.).
8. COAL PRICE
The “Coal Price” per calendar year shall be as follows based on a heat content of 8,880 Btu’s
per pound and subject to the Coal Price Adjustments in Section 9:
2005 |
[ * ] per ton | |||
2006 |
[ * ] per ton | |||
2007 |
[ * ] per ton |
9. COAL PRICE ADJUSTMENTS
Coal Prices are subject to adjustments for changes in laws and regulations enacted and
in force or expiring during the Term of this Agreement that change Source’s cost of
producing, selling, loading, or shipping coal during the Term of this Agreement. Such
adjustments to the Coal Price because of changes in laws or regulations shall be added
to or subtracted from the Coal Price on a direct pass-through basis. The Coal Prices
stated in Section 6 includes reimbursement to Source of all environmental, land
restoration and regulatory costs, including without limitation
any reclamation costs required under applicable federal, state or local law in effect as
of December 10, 2004. The Coal Price shall also be subject to BTU and S02 adjustments as
set forth herein.
The federal statute (30 U.S.C. Section 1232) that provides for collection of the Federal
Reclamation Fee for Abandoned Mine Lands (“AML”) is scheduled to expire on June 30,
2005, except that portion of the statute that provides for collection of fees to be
transferred to the United Mine Workers of America Combined Benefit Fund. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, this scheduled partial expiration of the
statute and any change in regulations to implement it will have no effect on the base
price of coal purchased and sold pursuant to this Agreement. If the federal government
makes additional changes in the AML fees, beyond those now scheduled to take effect,
those changes shall be passed through to the base price of coal purchased and sold
pursuant to this Agreement only to the extent that they cause the AML fee to exceed
$0.350 per ton.
Adjustment for Inflation. The Coal Prices per ton set forth in Section 8 shall be
increased or decreased for each percentage point of change, or proportionately for
fractional parts of a percentage point of change, to reflect changes in the following
indices. The Coal Price will be allocated per the index weights detailed below. Changes
shall become effective semi annually as of January 1, and July 1 of each year, beginning
July 1, 2005, and shall be based upon the preliminary indices for November and May
respectively. The index base and base amounts shall be the following:

The impact of the semi-annual escalations, on a net basis, as weighted above
shall not impact
the Base Price until they exceed an Embedded Escalation Deadband, on a
semi-annual basis, as follows:

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall
the Coal Price as adjusted pursuant to this agreement at any time be less
than the original Coal Price stated in Section 8, by calendar year, as set
forth above .
If the basis for any of the index numbers is changed, said index shall be
adjusted to take into account such changed basis. In the event any designated
index is discontinued or altered, becomes unavailable, or is no longer
applicable, the Parties shall undertake to agree on a substitute index or a
substitute method of cost adjustment which most closely matches the economic
structure of the discontinued or altered index. If the Parties fail to reach
agreement on the substitute index or method within 90 days, then the
substitute index or substitute method of

cost adjustment shall be submitted to arbitration and resolved. The values
to perform the calculations set forth in this section shall be rounded to three
decimal places.
A hypothetical Coal Price escalation for illustration purposes only is attached hereto
as Exhibit B.
Adjustments for BTU and Sulfur Dioxide., The Coal Price delivered
during a calendar month shall also be adjusted for variations in calorific value and
sulfur dioxide. Adjustments shall be added to or subtracted from, as the case may
be, the Coal Price determined in accordance with Section 8 hereof. The adjustments
shall be calculated as follows:
Btu Adjustment Per Ton = (P + $10.00 ) x
|
( AR – BB ) | |||
BB |
Where:
P | = | The Price of coal per ton delivered during the month per Section 6, | ||||
AR | = | The monthly weighted average “As-Received” Btu’s per pound of the respective coal delivered to Buyer; and, | ||||
BB | = | The Base Btu’s per pound of the respective coal delivered to Buyer during the month; the BB value = [8,800] |
SO2 Adjustment PerTon= ((BSD-ARSD)* (Monthly SO2 value/2000))
* 17.6
Where:
Monthly SO2 value = The simple arithmetic average of all SO2 allowance prices published in Air Daily for the | ||||||
applicable month. | ||||||
ARSD | = | The monthly weighted average “As-Received Sulfur Dioxide” expressed in pounds per million BTU of the respective coal delivered to Buyer; and, | ||||
BSD | = | The Base Sulfur Dioxide per pound of the respective coal expressed in pounds per million BTU during the month. BSD = .55 |
10. COAL ANALYSIS
The Coal Analysis shall be determined by representative samples of each train which
shall be taken at the Source in accordance with ASTM Standard D2234, employing
increment collection method, Classification I-B-1. Samples shall be analyzed in
conformance with current ASTM standards by Source’s independent contractor. The
contractor shall perform a short proximate and sodium analysis on one sample split
from each trainload on an “as received” basis in accordance with ASTM standards. WBT
shall provide LWE with these results as reasonably requested.
LWE may perform, at its discretion, its own analysis of the calorific value and
sulfur dioxide content of the Coal. The Coal Analysis shall be performed and
analyzed pursuant to the same procedures and standards as at the Source. If the
results from LWE’s testing conflict with the
p.7
results provided by WBT, then LWE may require that the same analysis be
performed by a third contractor the identity of which the parties shall mutually
agree upon in good faith and without unreasonable delay. The third party may
consider the data and conclusions from the first two analyses when reaching its own
independent results. The results of the third party’s analysis shall determine the
quality of the subject Coal. If the third party determines that its results are
substantially similar to the results provided by WBT, then LWE shall be responsible
for all costs associated with performing the third analysis. However, if the third
party determines that its
results are not substantially similar to the results provided by WBT, then (i) WBT
shall be responsible for all cost associated with performing the third analysis,
and (ii) the Coal Price for all of the Coal delivered to LWE in the train
containing the subject Coal shall be adjusted for the variations in calorific value
and sulfur dioxide in accordance with Section 9 and any other significant
diminutions in value.
11. COAL QUALITY
Exhibit A, which is incorporated herein by this reference, identifies the coal
quality specifications for the coal from the Source Mine.
12. METHOD OF PAYMENT
WBT shall invoice LWE for then current combined Coal and Transportation Price
when Coal is delivered to the Plant, and calculated based on the outbound
certified scale weights at WBT. Such invoices shall occur at least twice
monthly as agreed between WBT and LWE.
LWE shall pay WBT within ten (10) days after LWE’s receipt of such invoices.
Late payments shall carry a delinquent charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%)
of the amount invoiced per month with interest accruing the day after the due
date.
13. OPERATING PROCEDURE
WBT and LWE have agreed to use their best efforts in good faith to jointly
develop a written operating plan containing Coal delivery schedules and other
plans and procedures for development of the most efficient and effective Coal
delivery system. The operating plan shall be completed by the parties within 200
days of execution of this Agreement.
14. REMEDY AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
