Page 19

Coal Supply Agreement

(D)
Reimbursement of the actual and substantiated taxes and royalties identified in Exhibit I that are reasonably incurred in connection with the work performed under this Agreement with no markup or overhead; provided that SJCC shall exert commercially reasonable efforts in accordance with Prudent Mining Practices to minimize the total amount of such taxes and royalties paid in connection with SJCC’s work performed under this Agreement.
(E)
Reimbursement of the Utility Payment Stream in accordance with Section 8.2.
(F)
Reimbursement of the REI (as defined in the Fruitland Coal Sublease).
(G)
Reimbursement of the Substitute REI in accordance with Section 8.3.
(H)
Reimbursement of the Ute ROW in accordance with Section 8.4.
Section 8.2
Payment of the Utility Payment Stream
For purposes of this Section 8.2, the following definitions apply:

“Yl” is the final Implicit Price Deflator Index of the Gross Domestic Product (“IPD-GDP”) (defined below) for the fourth quarter of 2002, presently equal to 85.651.

“Y2” is the final IPD-GDP for the fourth quarter of 1979, presently equal to 41.986.

“Xl” is the most recently published quarterly IPD-GDP as of the Calculation Date. The Calculation Date is the 5th day of the month following the month for which each Utility Payment Stream payment is being made (e.g., February 5 for the January payment).

The factors X1/Y1 and X1/Y2 as applied below in this Section 8.2 are utilized to recognize the effects of inflation and deflation on certain relevant base amounts.

The IPD-GDP as utilized in this Section 8.2 refers to the Implicit Price Deflator of the Gross Domestic Product Index (“Index”), a quarterly index that is published online by the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the U.S. Department of Commerce (“BEA”). At present, the Index is calculated and based on the reference year of 2009 = 100. The index is updated monthly and can be found in National Income and Products Accounts (“NIPA”) Table 1.1.9, Implicit Price Deflators for Gross Domestic Product, at:
http://www.bea.gov/iTable/iTable.cfm?ReqID=9&step=1#reqid=9&step=3&isuri=1&9
03=13.

Calculations for this Section 8.2 shall be made based upon the most recent Index information published on the BEA website. If the BEA website no longer publishes the Index, then the Index as most recently published in the Survey of Current Business shall be utilized, at the applicable Calculation Date. The Survey of Current Business is an online publication provided by the BEA and is available at: http://www.bea.gov/scb/index.htm .


Page 20

Coal Supply Agreement

The Parties agree that any update to the Index after the Calculation Date, caused by BEA adjusting its estimates, shall not result in a recalculation of the amount of a Utility Payment Stream payment.

If, in the future, the BEA should change the reference year utilized to calculate the IPD-GDP then: Yl shall be the IPD-GDP shown for the fourth quarter of 2002; and Y2 shall be the IPD-GDP shown for the fourth quarter of 1979, in conversion tables prepared by the BEA with respect to the new reference year and Xl for each succeeding Utility Payment Stream payment becoming due after the date of the change of reference years shall be determined by reference to the most recently published IPD-GDP, as of the Calculation Date, based on the new reference year.

If the IPD-GDP should cease to be published by the BEA but another comparable index is published by another governmental agency then such index shall be utilized in the same manner as provided in this Section 8.2 in order to establish the amounts of the Utility Payment Stream becoming due for required future Utility Payment Stream payments. If no such index is published by governmental agencies, then such other index which may be available shall be utilized in a manner which will fairly and reasonably reflect the effects of inflation or deflation on the dollar amounts of the Utility Payment Stream payments.

Utility shall pay to SJCC the Utility Payment Stream calculated as follows (“Utility Payment Stream”):

1)     Monthly payments (“Payment(s)”) each in the amount calculated in this Section 8.2(l) below. The first Payment is due for the month in which this Agreement becomes effective and the final Payment is due for the month of December 2017. The term Payment(s) as defined in this Section 8.2(l) apply only in this Section 8.2(1).

The amount of each Payment shall be calculated utilizing $445,050.00 as the base amount to be subject to inflation and deflation adjustment that is calculated, mathematically, by the following formula, applied separately, for each Payment:

$445,050.00 x (X1/Y1) = amount of Payment

Utility shall make the Payments specified in this Section 8.2(1) to an SJCC bank account designated as Wells Fargo Bank N.A. escrow account 15539700 (or such other account as either of the Parties may designate upon 30 days written notice to the other party). Each Payment is due on the 22nd day of the month following the month for which the Payment is being made. Payments due on a Saturday will be payable on the previous Friday. Payments due on a Sunday will be payable on the following Monday. Payments due on a bank holiday will be payable on the next bank workday.

2)     Monthly payments (“Payment(s)”) each in the amount calculated in this Section 8.2(2) below. The first Payment is due for the month in which this Agreement becomes effective and the final Payment is due for the month of December 2017. The term

Page 21

Coal Supply Agreement

Payment(s) as defined in this Section 8.2(2) applies only in this Section 8.2(2). The amount of each Payment shall be calculated by adding certain payment amounts as follows:

Tier 1 shall be calculated utilizing $96,875 as the base amount to be subject to inflation and deflation adjustment and calculated mathematically by the following formula applied separately for each Payment:

$96,875 x (X1/Y2) = Tier 1 payment

If the LPM Annual Production (the total tons mined and delivered to Utility in a calendar year from the La Plata Mine) is zero, no payments are due for Tier 2 and Tier 3. Only if the LPM Annual Production exceeds 1,250,000 tons in any year after 2003, payments from at least Tier 2, and possibly Tier 3, shall be added to the December Tier 1 payment, as described below. Tier 2 and Tier 3 payments are only calculated and applied to the December payment of each year and shall be calculated utilizing $3.00/ton as the base amount to be subject to inflation and deflation adjustment.

Tier 2 only applies when LPM Annual Production exceeds 1,250,000 tons in any year after 2003. If LPM Annual Production exceeds 1,250,000 tons, the Tier 2 payment amount calculation is initiated by multiplying 50% by the lesser of: i) the LPM Annual Production minus 1,250,000 tons or ii) 250,000 tons, and then multiplying the product by $3.00/ton, multiplied further by X1/Y2, This product multiplied by 31% is the Tier 2 payment amount, and it shall be added to the Tier 1 payment amount for December each year that Tier 2 applies.

Tier 3 only applies when LPM Annual Production exceeds 1,500,000 tons in any year after 2003. If LPM Annual Production exceeds 1,500,000 tons, the Tier 3 payment amount calculation is initiated by multiplying 10% by: (the LPM Annual Production minus 1,500,000 tons), and then multiplying the product by $3.00/ton, multiplied further by Xl/Y2. This product multiplied by 31% is the Tier 3 payment amount, and it shall be added to the sum of the Tier 1 and Tier 2 payment amounts for December each year that Tier 3 applies.

Utility shall make the Payments specified in this Section 8.2(2) to the SJCC bank account designated as Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. escrow account 15339800 (or such other account as either of the Parties may designate upon 30 days written notice to the other party). Each Payment is due on the 22nd day of the month following the month for which the Payment is being made. Payments due on a Saturday will be payable on the previous Friday. Payments due on a Sunday will be payable on the following Monday. Payments due on a bank holiday will be payable on the next bank workday.

By the tenth (10th) day of each month, SJCC shall provide to Utility a detailed calculation of the Utility Payment Stream due for the previous month. In the event of a dispute between the Parties or with a third party over calculation of payments set out in Section 8.2(1) or Section 8.2(2), Utility shall submit their written position statement

Page 22

Coal Supply Agreement

regarding the disputed calculation to SJCC. A determination of the same issue in a dispute resolution process involving a third party, in which Utility’s position statement is presented in good faith by SJCC, shall be binding upon SJCC and Utility for purposes of this Agreement.


Section 8.3
Substitute REI
Utility shall pay to SJCC an amount that is annually equal to the REI (as defined in the Fruitland Coal Sublease) multiplied by "X" (which may be negative). The monthly invoiced amounts will be based on the projected number of Fruitland Substitute Tons (defined below) and Fruitland Tons (defined below) for the calendar year.
Where:
X=A-G
And
A=The number of Fruitland Substitute Tons is defined as all Tons except Fruitland Tons delivered to SJGS by SJCC, excluding the first 1,500,000 Tons other than those subject to the Fruitland Coal Sublease, provided, however, that the number of Fruitland Substitute Tons in any year will not exceed the greater of (i) the REI Minimum (as defined below) plus the REI Shortfall Balance as of the previous year end (as defined below) less the Fruitland Tons, or (ii) zero (0).
B=The aggregate cumulative number of Make-up Tons (as defined in the Fruitland Coal Sublease) as of the previous year end.
C=The REI Shortfall Balance as of the previous year end. The REI Shortfall Balance for 2015 year end is zero (0). The ending REI Shortfall Balance for each year thereafter will be the greater of (i) the sum of the ending REI Shortfall Balance for the previous year and the REI Shortfall Tons (as defined below) for the year, or (ii) zero (0).
D=The number of Fruitland Tons is defined as the actual number of Tons mined and delivered from the Fruitland Leases (as defined in the Fruitland Coal Sublease) during the year.
E=The REI Minimum, that shall be equal to the Annual Tonnage defined in the Fruitland Coal Sublease.
F=(D-E-C), or zero (0), whichever is greater and
G=(B-C), or F, whichever is less.
REI Shortfall Tons means for any year the REI Minimum for that year less the sum of Fruitland Tons and Fruitland Substitute Tons for that year. (REI Shortfall Tons may be negative).

The accounting and billing period under this Agreement shall be one month. Such one-month period shall be a fiscal month (currently defined as a calendar month) as adopted by SJCC unless the Joint Committee shall specify a different one-month period. Both Utility and SJCC recognize that some of the information applicable to an invoice may not be available at the time the invoice is prepared by SJCC and submitted to Utility. In such event, the submitted invoice shall be based upon the best available information. Upon receipt of such formerly unavailable information, SJCC shall prepare and furnish to Utility a supplemental invoice.
On a monthly basis, SJCC shall prepare and provide Utility with a Monthly Report and an invoice (“Monthly Invoice”) in a form to be agreed upon by the Parties. All payments owed by Utility to SJCC shall be based on the Monthly Invoice, which Monthly Invoice shall itemize (i) all Raw Coal delivered to the Reserve of Coal; (ii) that amount owed in connection with the monthly Tier 1 Tonnage Allocation and the Annual Preexisting Stockpile Amount pursuant to Section 8.1(A) and (B);(iii) that amounts owed by Utility to SJCC pursuant to Section 8.1(C); (iv) all Processed Coal delivered to the Delivery Point(s) and (v) all amounts owed by Utility to SJCC in respect of Section 8.1(D), Sections 8.2 through 8.6 above along with an itemized summary of such costs. SJCC shall submit an invoice for a month no later than the tenth (10th) business day of the subsequent month. Payment shall be made by Utility by the later of (i) the twenty-second (22nd) day of the month succeeding the month for which such invoice is submitted or (ii) on the twelfth (12th) day after

Page 24

Coal Supply Agreement

receipt of the invoice by Utility. Payment pursuant to this Agreement shall be made to SJCC by electronic funds transfer to such bank accounts as SJCC may from time to time designate.
(B)
Annual True-Up
At the end of each Contract Year, SJCC shall determine the “Trued-Up Annual Payment.” The “Trued-Up Annual Payment” shall be, for each Contract Year, the sum of (i) the tons of Processed Coal delivered at the Delivery Point(s) up to the Tier 1 Tons minus the Annual Preexisting Stockpile Amount multiplied by the applicable Tier 1 Price plus (ii) the Annual Preexisting Stockpile Amount multiplied by the applicable Reduced Price plus (iii) all additional tons of Processed Coal delivered at the Delivery Point(s) multiplied by the applicable Tier 2 Price. In the event that the total of Utility’s monthly payments pursuant to Sections 8.1(A), (B), and (C) in such Contract Year is greater than the Trued-Up Annual Payment, SJCC shall refund such excess payment to Utility no later than January 31st of the Contract Year following the year for which such refund is due.
(C)
True-Up Due to Force Majeure Suspension
At the end of any Contract Year in which SJCC is prevented from delivering or Utility is prevented from accepting Processed Coal at the Delivery Point(s) due to Force Majeure in accordance with Section 12.1(A), SJCC shall determine the “Force Majeure True-Up Amount.” The “Force Majeure True-Up Amount” shall be, for each Contract Year, the sum of (i) the tons of Processed Coal delivered at the Delivery Point(s) up to the Tier 1 Tons minus the Annual Preexisting Stockpile Amount multiplied by the applicable Tier 1 Price plus (ii) the Annual Preexisting Stockpile Amount multiplied by the applicable Reduced Price plus (iii) all additional tons of Processed Coal delivered at the Delivery Point(s) multiplied by the applicable Tier 2 Price. In the event that the total of Utility’s monthly payments pursuant to Sections 8.1(A), (B), and (C) in such Contract Year is less than the Force Majeure True-Up Amount, SJCC shall invoice Utility such payment in January of the Contract Year following the year for which such refund is due.
(D)
Accounting Records
SJCC shall maintain its accounts and records in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SJCC shall retain such accounts and records for any Contract Year for five (5) years following the end of such Contract Year, and for such reasonable additional period as specifically requested by Utility.
(E)
Disputed Invoices
In case any portion of an invoice shall be in dispute, the undisputed amount shall be paid when due; provided however, that Utility may also pay the disputed portion of such invoice without thereby waiving its right to contest such disputed portion.

Page 25

Coal Supply Agreement

(F)
Failure to Pay
In the event Utility fails to pay any amount due and not in bona fide dispute, Utility shall pay SJCC interest on all amounts owing under any invoice submitted hereunder which are not paid when due and payable, with said interest to be calculated at the Prime Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal for corporate loans posted by at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the nation’s largest banks (or its equivalent) plus three percent (3%) but not in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted by law and to be paid for the actual number of days elapsed from and including the date the invoice was due and payable until funds are received in SJCC’s account. This right shall not be deemed an exclusive right or remedy.
(G)
Suspension of Payment for Failure to Deliver
In the event SJCC fails to deliver Processed Coal at the Delivery Point(s), which failure to deliver is not caused by Utility, and which failure to deliver is not excused by the provisions of Section 12.1 hereof, and if such failure to deliver continues for ten (10) days after final demand for delivery by Utility, Utility shall have the right to suspend payment for any coal previously delivered by SJCC until coal deliveries shall have re-commenced. This right shall not be deemed an exclusive right or remedy.
(H)
Record-Keeping and Audits
SJCC will keep books, records and accounts necessary to support all amounts invoiced under this Agreement. Upon Utility’s request, SJCC shall supply Utility, by report and/or with actual source documents (as determined by Utility), the information reasonably necessary, at the sole reasonable discretion of Utility, to verify any invoice rendered to Utility pursuant to this Agreement.
From time to time but not more often than once in any Contract Year, Utility shall have the right to have an audit performed of SJCC’s books and records to verify that those books and records are maintained in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and that invoices for the year or years being audited have been correctly calculated and only include amounts due and owing under this Agreement. No invoice, even if paid, shall be deemed final pending the results of the audit. If the audit finds that a paid invoice has not been correctly calculated or includes amounts that are not due and owing under this Agreement, SJCC shall promptly refund the amount of the charge determined to be improper with interest calculated from the date that Utility paid the invoice. To the extent that the audit concludes that an unpaid invoice has not been correctly calculated and includes amounts that are not due and owing under this Agreement, Utility shall not be required to pay that amount. Any audit must be commenced within two (2) years after the year being audited and if more than two (2) years have passed from the year, all invoices from such year shall be deemed to be correct and will not thereafter be subject to verification.

Page 26

Coal Supply Agreement

Any dispute between Utility and SJCC, whether following an audit or not, as to whether SJCC’s books and records are maintained in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles or that an invoice has not been correctly calculated or includes amounts not due and owing under this Agreement, shall be referred to the Joint Committee for resolution.

Coal Supply Agreement

ARTICLE XII
Force Majeure, Non-Normal Conditions, Right to Cure, Termination and Expiration
Section 12.1
Force Majeure and Environmental Force Majeure
(A)
Force Majeure
(1)
Neither Party shall be deemed in default of any obligation under this Agreement, and performance of such obligation shall be excused during such period as and to the extent that performance is prevented by reason of Force Majeure, the term “Force Majeure” meaning any cause beyond the control of the Party affected which by exercise of due diligence it shall be unable to overcome, including, without limitation, failure of plant or facilities, flood, earthquake, storm, lightning, fire, explosion, epidemic, war, riot, civil disturbance, labor stoppage, sabotage, or the necessity for compliance with any applicable law, regulation, ordinance or resolution aside from any law, regulation, ordinance or resolution that would otherwise constitute either a Utility Environmental Force Majeure or an SJCC Environmental Force Majeure. Neither Party, however, shall be relieved of liability for failure of performance if such failure is due to causes arising out of its own negligence or to causes which it could, but fails to, remove or remedy with reasonable dispatch. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Utility’s sole remedy with respect to an Environmental Force Majeure is set forth in Section 12.1(B) and SJCC’s sole remedy with respect to an SJCC Environmental Force Majeure is set forth in Section 12.1(C).
(2)
If a Party’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement is affected by Force Majeure, the Party claiming relief (“Affected Party”) shall, as soon as practical but no later than five days after the date on which the Affected Party has actual knowledge that the Force Majeure first prevents or delays performance under this Agreement, give notice to the other Party describing in detail the particulars of the occurrence giving rise to the claim, including an estimate of the event’s anticipated duration and effect (if reasonably estimable) upon the performance of its obligations, and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect. The Affected Party shall have a continuing obligation to deliver to the other Party regular updated reports and any additional documentation and analysis supporting its claim regarding Force Majeure promptly after such information becomes available to the Affected Party. The Affected Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) mitigate the duration of, and costs arising from, any suspension or delay in, or other impact to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and (ii) continue to perform its obligations hereunder not affected by such event. When the Affected Party is able to resume performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the Affected Party shall give the other Party written notice to that effect.

Page 31

Coal Supply Agreement

(3)
In the event that SJCC is prevented from delivering or Utility is prevented from accepting Processed Coal at the Delivery Point(s) due to Force Majeure in accordance with this Section 12.1(A), Utility’s obligation to make the monthly payment associated with the Tier 1 Tonnage Allocation pursuant to Section 8.1(A) and the payment associated with Annual Preexisting Stockpile Amount pursuant to Section 8.1(B) shall be immediately suspended. Once the impact of the Force Majeure has been remediated and either SJCC is able to resume delivery or Utility is able to resume accepting Processed Coal at the Delivery Point(s), as applicable, Utility’s obligation to make the monthly payment associated with the Tier 1 Tonnage Allocation pursuant to Section 8.1(A) and the payment associated with Annual Preexisting Stockpile Amount pursuant to Section 8.1(B) shall immediately resume. At the end of any Contract Year in which SJCC is prevented from delivering or Utility is prevented from accepting Processed Coal at the Delivery Point(s) due to Force Majeure in accordance with this Section 12.1(A), SJCC shall determine whether any additional payment is due pursuant to Section 8.7(C).
(4)
In the event that the Affected Party is prevented from a performing a material obligation under this Agreement due to Force Majeure for a period greater than six (6) months, the other Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. In the event of such termination pursuant to this Section 12.1(A)(4), the rights of the Parties shall be as set forth in Section 12.6(C).
(5)
If SJCC is prevented from supplying coal to Utility as required under this Agreement due to Force Majeure, Utility may obtain replacement coal from other sources to maintain, but only to the extent that, and for the period during which, SJCC is unable to deliver coal as required under this Agreement.
(B)
Utility Environmental Force Majeure
(1)
In the event Utility reasonably determines that it is unable to comply, or that it is economically impractical to comply, with the interpretation or reinterpretation of existing environmental law or regulation, or any new, amended or modified state, federal and/or local environmental statutes and/or regulations, restraint by court or public authority, or any settlement agreement or other form of compromise or action entered into by Utility to address, or in response to, any legal or regulatory actions affecting the San Juan Station without modifying Utility’s obligations to take coal at the quantities, specifications, and prices provided for in this Agreement (such circumstances collectively referred to as “Utility Environmental Force Majeure”), Utility may either terminate this Agreement (such termination to be effective sixty (60) days after notice from Utility) or request a reduction in the Tier 1 Tons; provided, however, such termination or reduction of the Tier 1 Tons shall not occur until the earlier of (i) Utility’s required compliance date with respect to such Utility Environmental Force Majeure

Page 32

Coal Supply Agreement

or (ii) the commercial operation date of any modification made to San Juan Station to allow compliance with such environmental law or regulation in economic manner; provided further that Utility shall be entitled to utilize existing stockpiles of coal prior to termination of this Agreement without such use being a breach of this Agreement. Utility’s notice to SJCC of its intention to terminate the Agreement or its request to adjust the Tier 1 Tons shall include Utility’s analysis regarding the Utility Environmental Force Majeure, including related data, documents, records and spreadsheets regarding Utility’s compliance plans with respect to such environmental laws and/or regulations.
(2)
In the event that Utility requests an adjustment in the Tier 1 Tons, the Parties shall have thirty (30) days from the date of notice to SJCC to negotiate any necessary adjustments to the Tier 1 Price and Tier 2 Price. If the Parties are not able to reach an agreement by the end of such thirty (30) day period, Utility shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement. In the event of such termination by Utility pursuant to this Section 12.1(B)(2), SJCC’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be as set forth Section 12.6(B).
(C)
SJCC Environmental Force Majeure
In the event that the interpretation or reinterpretation of existing environmental law or regulation, or any new, amended or modified state, federal and/or local environmental statutes and/or regulations, restraint by court or public authority, or any settlement agreement or other form of compromise or action entered into by SJCC to address, or in response to, any legal or regulatory actions affecting the Coal Leases or SJCC substantially impairs the ability of SJCC to mine Raw Coal (such circumstances collectively referred to as “SJCC Environmental Force Majeure”), the following provisions shall apply:
(1)
SJCC shall promptly provide written notice to Utility of the SJCC Environmental Force Majeure (“SJCC Environmental Force Majeure Notice”), including a summary of the impact and expected duration of such SJCC Environmental Force Majeure.
(2)
SJCC shall continue to deliver Processed Coal to the Delivery Point(s) in accordance with Section 4.3 utilizing the Reserve of Coal (including the Preexisting Stockpile Coal). For the avoidance of doubt, during such time as the SJCC Environmental Force Majeure substantially impairs the ability of SJCC to mine Raw Coal, the provisions of Section 12.3 shall continue to apply, provided that it shall not be an SJCC Default Condition if the Reserve of Coal is less than five hundred thousand (500,000) tons.
(3)
Commencing immediately upon Utility’s receipt of an SJCC Environmental Force Majeure Notice, Utility’s payment obligations under Sections 8.1(A)(C) shall cease and, for so long as SJCC is able to deliver Processed Coal to the Delivery Point(s) in accordance with Section 4.3,

Page 33

Coal Supply Agreement

Utility shall pay to SJCC on a monthly basis (prorated as necessary based on the date of the SJCC Environmental Force Majeure Notice) for tons of Acceptable Coal delivered to the Delivery Point(s) as follows:
(i)
The Parties shall determine the amount of the Preexisting Stockpile Coal deemed to remain on the Reserve of Coal as of the date SJCC Environmental Force Majeure Notice by subtracting the total amount of tons of Preexisting Stockpile Coal paid for by Utility pursuant to Section 8.1(B) (irrespective of actual deliveries) from the total Preexisting Stockpile Volume (such difference being the “Available Preexisting Stockpile Tons”). The “Available Force Majeure Tons” shall be determined by subtracting the Available Preexisting Stockpile Tons from the actual Reserve of Coal as of the date of the SJCC Environmental Force Majeure Notice.
(ii)
In the event that Utility receives written notice of an SJCC Environmental Force Majeure on or before December 31, 2017, the following additional payment provisions will apply:
i.
For all Acceptable Coal delivered at the Delivery Point(s) in such month up to the Monthly Preexisting Stockpile Amount, Utility shall pay an amount equal to the actual amount of tons of Acceptable Coal delivered at the Delivery Point(s) multiplied by the SJCC Environmental Force Majeure Price.
ii.
For all Acceptable Coal delivered at the Delivery Point(s) in such month in excess of the Monthly Preexisting Stockpile Amount (such excess tons the “Force Majeure Tons”), Utility shall pay an amount equal to the Force Majeure Tons multiplied by the Tier 1 Price; provided that Utility shall only pay for Force Majeure Tons at the Tier 1 Price until the cumulative amount of such Force Majeure Tons is equal to the Available Force Majeure Tons. Any tons delivered to the Delivery Point(s) during an SJCC Environmental Force Majeure in excess of the Available Force Majeure Tons shall be paid for by Utility at the SJCC Environmental Force Majeure Price.
(iii)
In the event that Utility receives written notice of an SJCC Environmental Force Majeure on or after January 1, 2018, the following additional payment provisions will apply:
i.
For all Acceptable Coal delivered at the Delivery Point(s) in such month up to the Monthly Preexisting Stockpile Amount, Utility shall pay an amount equal to the actual

Page 34

Coal Supply Agreement

amount of tons of Acceptable Coal delivered at the Delivery Point(s) multiplied by the Reduced Price.
ii.
For all Acceptable Coal delivered at the Delivery Point(s) in such month in excess of the Monthly Preexisting Stockpile Amount (such excess tons the “Force Majeure Tons”), Utility shall pay an amount equal to the Force Majeure Tons multiplied by the Tier 1 Price; provided that Utility shall only pay for Force Majeure Tons at the Tier 1 Price until the cumulative amount of such Force Majeure Tons is equal to the Available Force Majeure Tons. Any tons delivered to the Delivery Point(s) during an SJCC Environmental Force Majeure in excess of the Available Force Majeure Tons shall be paid for by Utility at the Reduced Price.
(4)
Immediately upon cessation of the SJCC Environmental Force Majeure, SJCC shall provide written notice to Utility and the payment obligation set forth in Sections 12.1(C)(3)(ii) shall cease and Utility shall resume payments to SJCC pursuant to Sections 8.1(A)(C) (prorated as necessary based on the date of such notice).
(5)
If the SJCC Environmental Force Majeure has not been remediated and the Reserve of Coal has been exhausted and SJCC is no longer able to deliver Processed Coal in accordance with Section 4.3, the Agreement shall immediately be deemed terminated unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties. In the event of such termination pursuant to this Section 12.1(C)(5), the rights of the Parties shall be as set forth in Section 12.6(C).
Section 12.2
Non-Normal Conditions, Right to Cure, and Offers of Non-SJCC Coal.
The Parties intend that in the effort to avoid SJCC Default, the provisions of this Section 12.2 shall be utilized before notice of SJCC Default Conditions (defined in Section 12.3(A)) is provided pursuant to Section 12.3(C).
(A)
Non-Normal Conditions. Non-Normal Conditions exist when any of the following three conditions are present:
(1)
SJCC fails to maintain the Reserve of Coal at a level equal to or greater than the Required Reserve,
(2)
SJCC has determined that there is a reasonable probability that the Reserve of Coal will in the near future fall below Required Reserve, or
(3)
SJCC anticipates or is experiencing any other condition that may prevent SJCC from delivering coal according to this Agreement.
(B)
Notice. SJCC shall provide written notice to Utility if any Non-Normal Conditions exist, or the Joint Committee may determine that Non-Normal Conditions exist,

Page 35

Coal Supply Agreement

which shall constitute notice to SJCC and Utility as of the date of such written determination.
(C)
Prevention Due to Force Majeure. In addition to providing written notice of Non-Normal Conditions, SJCC may elect to declare that the performance is prevented by reason of Force Majeure in accordance with the terms of Section 12.1.
(D)
Coal Usage Forecast. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice of Non-Normal Conditions, Utility will review dispatch at San Juan Station and provide to SJCC an updated coal usage forecast.
(E)
Cure of Non-Normal Conditions. The Parties intend that cooperation among the Parties in developing and agreeing upon a Cure Plan (as defined below) is preferable to pursuing termination of this Agreement. The Parties will provide reasonable cooperation to facilitate SJCC’s cure of Non-Normal Conditions to avoid SJCC Default while allowing Utility to continue operation of the San Juan Station. To initiate and effectuate cure of the Non-Normal Condition, SJCC shall do the following:
(1)
Provide within fifteen (15) days after notice of Non-Normal Conditions, or as otherwise agreed to by the Parties, a written cure plan to the Joint Committee describing SJCC’s proposed means of curing the Non-Normal Conditions and its proposed deliveries in the interim (“Cure Plan”);
(2)
Within thirty (30) days after notice of Non-Normal Conditions, or as otherwise agreed to by the Parties, SJCC may provide written offers to Utility to supply Non-SJCC Coal. SJCC will provide coal quality information for the Non-SJCC Coal with the written offers and will propose the delivery schedule and quantity of Non-SJCC Coal to be supplied.
(3)
Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a proposed Cure Plan, the Joint Committee shall meet to consider and act on the Cure Plan.
(4)
Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of an offer to supply Non-SJCC Coal, the Joint Committee will meet to approve or reject the Non-SJCC Coal offer. Failure to approve the offer shall constitute its rejection.
(5)
For offers of Non-SJCC Coal only, such Non-SJCC Coal shall have an average heating value of not less than 9,100 BTU per pound, as received, averaged over any twenty-four (24) hour period.
(6)
As part of its Cure Plan, SJCC will provide weekly written notice to Utility of daily inventory levels of the Reserve of Coal.
(F)
Rejection of Non-SJCC Coal after Initial Approval. If Utility determines and the Joint Committee agrees that delivery of coal from a certain Non-SJCC Coal source is shown to materially impair operations at the San Juan Station, Utility may reject the unburned portion of that coal and, if so, SJCC shall terminate delivery of that

Page 36

Coal Supply Agreement

coal. The remainder of such rejected coal shall not be credited as coal delivered for purposes of determining whether a SJCC Default Condition exists.
(G)
Termination of Non-Normal Conditions. The Non-Normal Conditions will terminate when all of the following occur:
(1)
The Reserve of Coal exceeds the Required Reserve and;
(2)
SJCC resumes delivery of Processed Coal to Utility at the Delivery Point(s).
Section 12.3
SJCC Default.

(7)
SJCC or Guarantor makes an assignment or any general arrangement for the benefit of creditors;
(8)
SJCC or Guarantor is unable to pay its debts as they fall due;
(9)
A receiver or receiver-manager is appointed for the business, property, affairs or revenues of SJCC or Guarantor; or

Page 37

Coal Supply Agreement

This Guaranty is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.
1.2.
Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (i) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or dissolution, or any proceeding in respect of any thereof, of SJCC or Guarantor, (ii) the validity, regularity or enforceability (except to the extent that the Agreement would not have been enforceable against Guarantor had it, rather than SJCC, been the primary obligor thereunder) of obligations of SJCC under the Agreement or the extension or renewal thereof, in whole or in part, with or without notice to or assent from Guarantor, (iii) any alteration, amendment, modification, extension, renewal, release, change, waiver or consent in respect of any of the terms, covenants, or conditions contained in the Agreement, or (iv) the absence of notice, other than notice required by the terms of the Agreement, or the absence of or any delay in any action to enforce any obligation or to exercise any right or remedy against SJCC or Guarantor, whether hereunder or under the Agreement, or any indulgence or extension granted to or compromise with SJCC or Guarantor, or any action or proceedings

Coal Supply Agreement

taken or not taken with respect to or by or on behalf of SJCC or Guarantor or (v) any circumstance whatsoever (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any act of the Utility or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Utility that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable defense available to, or a discharge of, the Guarantor.
1.3.
Guarantor hereby (i) waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of the merger or bankruptcy of SJCC, any right to require a proceeding first against SJCC, or to realize on any collateral, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever, with respect to the obligations of SJCC, (ii) agrees that its obligations hereunder constitute guaranties of performance and not of collection and are not in any way conditional or contingent upon any attempt to collect from or enforce against SJCC or upon any other condition or contingency, (iii) agrees that its obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective if at any time the obligations of SJCC under the Agreement are rescinded or modified or limited in connection with any bankruptcy or reorganization or other similar proceedings, and (iv) covenants that this Guaranty will not be discharged except by complete performance of SJCC’s obligations under and contained in the Agreement.

EXHIBIT C—MINING PLANS AND METHODS

Introduction and Commitment to Safe Operating Practices
In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between any projections or assumptions in this Exhibit C and any other term or condition of the Coal Supply Agreement, such other term or condition of the Coal Supply Agreement shall control. This Exhibit C shall not in any way modify the obligations of the Parties that are otherwise specified in the Coal Supply Agreement. The mining plans and methods associated with the San Juan Underground Mine and coal leases are based on Prudent Mining Practices, as defined in the Coal Supply Agreement.

SJCC is committed to operating the mine in a safe, legal, and efficient manner. The mine will be operated in accordance with the safety standards and regulations as mandated by the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and the State of New Mexico, and will also comply with company standards when such standards exceed those of regulatory agencies.

The mine will operate in accordance with the MSHA-approved Roof Control Plan and Ventilation Plan as required in 30 CFR 75.220 and 75.370, respectively. These plans shall be reviewed and submitted on a semi-annual basis per 30 CFR 75, and will be updated on an as-needed basis when mining conditions dictate.

The control of mine gases will be maintained at the operations through existing practices, including, but not limited to: providing adequate ventilation to the mine workings to dilute concentrations of mine gases, installation and maintenance of Gob-Vent-Boreholes (GVB) to exhaust gases, and nitrogen injection into sealed gob areas to provide an inert atmosphere and reduce the potential for spontaneous combustion

A state-of-the-art communications and tracking system will be maintained at all times during operations of the mine. SJCC’s Emergency Response Plan (ERP) shall be maintained and updated on an ongoing basis; this plan will be approved by MSHA in accordance with the ERP requirements for post-accident-communication and electronic tracking systems required by the Mine Improvements and New Emergency Response Act of 2006 (MINER Act).

Additionally, the mine will staff and maintain at least one properly trained Mine Rescue Team as required by 30 CFR Part 49 at all times while the mine continues to operate.

Exhibit C Page 1    

Coal Supply Agreement         

Mine Planning
Underground mining is conducted in the Number 8 Seam of the Fruitland Coal formation. The primary production method is longwall (LW) mining and development is performed using room and pillar methods with continuous miner (CM) sections of equipment. Underground access is provided via drift openings in the existing highwall of the previously mined Juniper Open Pit surface operations. Additionally, a set of portals associated with San Juan Pilot Mine were previously utilized, but these mine portals have since been abandoned and sealed. The Juniper Pit provides access to the underground main entries for materials and personnel transportation, coal conveyance, ventilation, and support services.

Figure 1 illustrates the existing mine workings and the projected mining sequence of future mining areas. The main entries support underground infrastructure and the LW and CM activities. The interconnected series of gateroads define the individual LW panels; groups of adjacent panels are described as LW mining districts. Current mining activity is situated in the 400 district in the northern portion of the mine. Annual mining plans are designed and prepared to indicate where CM development and LW mining will occur. Figure 1 is illustrated as follows:



Exhibit C Page 2    

Coal Supply Agreement         

Continuous Mining Methods
The opening dimensions at SJCC can vary with conditions/purpose, but are typically 9 to 12 feet high and 18 to 20 feet wide, which is conducive to stable mine openings and efficient operations. A typical CM production section will include a CM machine, a roof bolting machine, and two to four coal haulage machines (ram cars). Existing mining equipment is consistent with state-of-the-art industry practice and is properly designed for efficient and productive mining activities. The mining process itself is regarded as simple and utilizes basic mining concepts.

A CM is used to extract the coal seam by mining a “cut”, which is the width of the opening (18 to 20 feet) and extended to the desired depth. The cut depths vary with mining conditions, and the maximum depth is defined by the approved roof control plan (up to 30 feet).

The CM is equipped with a rotating head that cuts a rectangular profile into the face of the coal seam. The fractured material includes coal, partings and out-of-seam dilution (OSD, the extraneous non-coal roof and floor material that is inherently extracted during the mining process). The CM gathers the fractured coal and then uses an internal conveyor to load the material into a haulage car that has a payload of 12 to 18 tons. The filled ram car carries the product from the miner to a “feeder,” where the coal is discharged from the car and metered onto a conveyor belt for transport out of the mine.

The empty ram car then trams back to the miner to be reloaded. While this cycle is taking place, a second ram car is subsequently loaded. This cycle continues until the cut is fully extracted. The ram cars are then routed to the next face to be mined. The CM machine backs out of the freshly-mined cut and trams to the next location in the cycle.

A roof bolting machine then trams into the freshly extracted cut and supports the immediate roof. This is accomplished by drilling holes into the mine roof and installing roof bolts, which are steel rods that strengthen the integrity of the roof. As roof bolting proceeds, the auxiliary ventilation tubing is extended into the cut to ventilate the face. As the bolter backs out of the entry, rock dust is applied. The face is then ready for the next cut as the CM progresses through the mining cycle.

Other ancillary equipment is utilized at SJCC to support the CM production sections, including cleanup and supply scoops, transport vehicles, power systems, etc. The following illustration provides a perspective view of a CM development unit:


Exhibit C Page 3    

Coal Supply Agreement         

Longwall Mining Methods
The CM units extract only 5% to 15% of the mine’s output. The majority of production is mined by the LW unit. The LW is a sophisticated and highly mechanized mining system that incorporates engineering designs with high safety factors for motors, horsepower ratings, chain strengths, and structural capacity. The face features a 4,160‑volt electrical supply and hydraulic lines pumped from the surface. Primary LW components consist of:

Shields: Each of these state-of-the-art, hydraulically powered, 2-leg supports measures 1.75 meters in width (5 ft 9 in) and has 1,150 tons of capacity. The practical mining height range is 8 to 13 feet, even though the physical operating range for the shields is 6.1 ft to 14.5 ft.
Armored Face Conveyor: Commonly referred to as the panline, and is comprised of steel sections that are joined to permit a degree of lateral movement as mining advances. The joints are connected over the length of the 1,000‑ft face and the chain conveyor is powered by high-horsepower drives at each end of the face.
Shearer: The cutting and loading machine that traverses the length of the armored face conveyor to cut the coal from the LW face in 1-meter swaths. The machine utilizes rotating cutting drums at each end to efficiently cut coal in each direction. The shearer and shields have an integrated control system.
Stageloader: The transition section that crushes the coal and transfers the mined material from the armored face conveyor to the belt conveyor.

The LW panels are developed off the main entries. An individual longwall panel consists of a large rectangular block of coal outlined by gate roads and the set-up face. Each set of gate roads consists of three entries developed by the CM units. LW panels at SJCC

Exhibit C Page 4    

Coal Supply Agreement         

measure up to 15,000 feet long, 1,000 feet wide and 8 ft to 13 ft thick. The longest panel can contain 9 million tons of coal, making the SJCC panels among the largest in the US coal industry. The massive size of the panels is conducive to high levels of efficiency, as it minimizes the percentage of higher-cost CM tons in the total product, and maximizes overall mining time between LW moves.
 
After the LW equipment is installed along the 1,000-foot end of the block, the shearer trams along the face conveyor and cuts one-meter deep swaths of coal from the face at a mining height of 8 to 13 feet. As coal is removed, each shield systematically lowers slightly (drops away from the roof) and is advanced forward and re-pressurized against the roof. The panline is advanced forward, and the cycle repeats. The area behind the roof supports collapses as the roof supports are advanced. This collapsed area behind the shields, where the coal has been removed, is called the gob.

The physical and chemical properties of the coal and the gob at SJCC are prone to spontaneous combustion. SJCC’s mine design is focused on managing spontaneous combustion considerations to minimize the risk of an event. SJCC utilizes a progressive sealing system in its ventilation system as the LW face retreats; seals are built in each crosscut so as to prevent airflow across the gob. The mine also utilizes the injection of nitrogen from a nearby production facility to inert the atmosphere behind the LW shields and in the gob itself.

The general layout of the San Juan longwall face is similar to other high capacity faces of recent manufacture located at highly productive western US mining operations. A simplified schematic of the face is shown below:



Exhibit C Page 5    

Coal Supply Agreement         

Miscellaneous
Conveyance: The level grade of the property (less than 3%) facilitates a simple and reliable belt conveyor system. SJCC utilizes 750-hp belts in the main entries and 500‑hp modules in the panel belts. The system is designed to convey 4,200 tph in the LW gate belts and 6,600 tph in the main conveyor system. These design ratings are for normal loading with proper clearance distances along the belt edges. The motors and belting material strengths have been designed around the ability to convey a fully loaded, edge-to-edge, load of material.

Mine Dewatering: The main dewatering system consists of a sump with two borehole pumps located near the bottom of the first ventilation shaft. The sump is fed by a system of submersible pumps, tanks and discharge lines located throughout the mine workings. The mine dewatering system capacities are 250 gpm from each working section, 750 gpm in the mains and 1,000 gpm from the main sump to the surface, as has been demonstrated to successfully dewater the mine.

Compressed Air: A mine-wide distribution system is installed with main compressors located on the surface to reduce underground fire hazards. There is room for three compressors in the building and connections for a fourth diesel compressor outside the building. They are sized so that two of the three run at any one time and can meet the projected demands of the mine.

Rock Dust System: The utilization of rock dust, or pulverized limestone, to inert the combustibility of coal dust, is a key part of safety compliance in the U.S. The top layer (up to 1” thick) of material on the roof, ribs and floor are sampled, analyzed and compared to statutory standards for combustibility. The presence of thin layers of fine coal dust on any surface is also prohibited.

Electrical Distribution: SJCC is fed by a 69,000-volt line from the generating station, with redundant transformers and transmission lines available in case of failure.

Ventilation: SJCC operates in accordance with the approved Ventilation Plan to dilute gases, carry away dust, and provide a safe and productive working environment.


Operating Projections
LW mining is recognized as the safest, most productive, and lowest-cost form of underground coal mining. These efficiencies are achieved through rigid adherence to

Exhibit C Page 6    

Coal Supply Agreement         

long-term mining plans that are relatively inflexible. Mine development must be planned and initiated years in advance of LW production activities, and there is minimal opportunity to make meaningful changes in mine layout or design in the short to intermediate term (less than three years).

Mine scheduling and associated production levels at SJCC are not based on the capacity or operational potential of the mine. Instead, mine planning is directly proportional to the fuel supply needs of the San Juan Generating Station. The projected future tonnage (annual output) is significantly below the optimum output of the mine if it were to operate in an unconstrained market. The following table summarizes annual mine performance through 2021:

The mining plans and corresponding projections at the San Juan Mine through 2021 are largely established by decisions made by SJCC throughout the previous decade. Key assumptions for the 2015 calendar year are as follows; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, neither Party shall be excused from performing its other obligations under the Coal Supply Agreement in the event that actual conditions differ from any of the assumptions set forth in this Exhibit C:

1.
Mine layout, mining plans, and production sequences reflect the BHP/SJCC plans provided in early 2015. BHP/SJCC adheres to these plans throughout 2015.
2.
Based on the projections provided by BHP Billiton, the Pre-Existing Stockpile at SJCC is 4.8 million tons on January 1, 2016.
3.
All future coal production at SJCC (exclusive of Pre-Existing Stockpile tons) is assumed to be at 9,100 Btu/lb.
4.
The entirety of the Pre-Existing Stockpile is assumed to be 9,000 Btu/lb.
5.
Coal quality of actual stockpiles and future production will vary from the assumptions presented herein. Coal quality estimates are being revised based on ongoing analysis of geological/quality data provided by BHP/SJCC.
6.
The primary driver for projections of coal production and stockpile withdrawals is the 2016–2022 Burn Forecast for San Juan Generating Station. This was provided

Exhibit C Page 7    

Coal Supply Agreement         

by San Juan Generating Station in accordance with Section 7.2.C.1.i of the Coal Supply Agreement for purposes of developing the 2016 Annual Operating Plan.
7.
Physical withdrawals from the Pre-Existing Stockpile are based on meeting total deliveries to SJGS per the 2016‑2022 Burn Forecast as provided by SJGS and the estimated production from the SJCC mine.
8.
Withdrawals from the Pre-Existing Stockpile are at the projected withdrawals as identified by Utility. These withdrawals are identified on a monthly basis during 2016, on a quarterly basis in 2017, and annually thereafter.
9.
Actual future coal production will not precisely match the monthly, quarterly, and annual station consumption, respectively (less stockpile withdrawals), due to inherent fluctuations in the mining process associated with mining operational factors and geological conditions; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, SJCC shall at all times remain obligated to deliver coal at the Delivery Point in accordance with Article IV of the Coal Supply Agreement and maintain the Reserve of Coal as specified in the Coal Supply Agreement.
10.
Coal production activities are sequenced as illustrated in the attached Figure 1.
11.
Based on the projections provided by BHP Billiton the approximate extents of mine workings as of December 31, 2015 were identified as shown in Figure 1. The location of the longwall face in the LW‑402 Panel is approximately 10 crosscuts from the recovery room. Continuous miner development of the GR‑403 entries will be completed, and the Set-Up Rooms (SR-403) will be two‑thirds completed. Continuous miner development of the GR‑404 entries will be advanced approximately 3,000 feet from the West Sub-Mains. Continuous miner development of the West Sub-Mains shall be sufficiently extended to enable both the GR‑403 entries and the West Sub-Mains development units to operate simultaneously (separate ventilation circuits).
12.
BHP/SJCC does not mine any portion of SR‑404 (the Set-Up Rooms for the LW‑404 Panel) prior to January 1, 2016. This enables SJCC to lengthen or shorten the subject LW‑404 Panel, if desired by SJCC, to enhance mining performance while meeting coal consumption needs at SJGS.

Key Assumptions: 2016
13.
Westmoreland takes control of SJCC on January 1, 2016. At that point in time, the LW is operating in Panel LW-402 and will be nearing completion of mining in that panel. Coal production largely ceases in March/April of 2016 as the LW is moved to Panel LW‑403 (the only exception being minor quantities of CM development coal). For planning purposes, the LW move is assumed to be completed by the end of April, and LW production resumes in May. Coal delivery to SJGS in March/April will essentially be from the Pre-Existing Stockpile.

Exhibit C Page 8    

Coal Supply Agreement         

14.
Following the completion of the LW move, mining in Panel LW‑403 panel will commence and routine production activities resume. Coal production in 2016 is supplemented by 1.5 million tons of coal withdrawal from the Pre-Existing Stockpile. Given the lower tonnage demand, the LW operates at a reduced schedule in comparison to historical norms. LW retreat (total feet mined) in 2016 is lower than prior years of operation.
15.
After CM development of the West Sub-Mains entries is completed, the only development activities will be CM extension of the remaining gate entries.
16.
CM development of the GR-404 section continues through 2016. The proposed mining plan has some flexibility in that, upon reaching the Set-up Room (SR–404) as highlighted below, SJCC can decide whether to adjust the length of Panel LW‑404 (to some extent) also Panel LW‑405. This extension of GR‑404 must be completed before the LW mining starts in the Panel LW‑404, as the CM section cannot physically operate beyond the LW face once LW‑404 commences mining in 2017. If the additional reserves to the east are to be exploited beyond the proposed mining layout (extension to a 2035 Mine Plan), Panel LW‑405 would be shortened to the same length as the prior panels in the 400 district. Otherwise, sterilization of reserves will occur. Mining progress in 2015 and 2016 are illustrated below:

Key Assumptions: 2017
17.
The LW will continue mining in Panel LW‑403 until it is exhausted in the third quarter. The LW will then be moved to LW‑404. Mining in Panel LW‑404 begins around the start of the fourth quarter and continues through year end.
18.
Annual production is coordinated with the SJGS consumption forecast and it is assumed that 1.5 million tons will be delivered from the Pre-Existing Stockpile. At the end of 2017, the coal stockpile will be approximately 2 million tons.

Exhibit C Page 9    

Coal Supply Agreement         


19.
The CM unit completes development of the GR‑404 gate. Thereafter, the only CM development in the plan is the extension of the GR‑405 entries.


Key Assumptions: 2018 and Beyond
20.
Coal production rate is reduced to about 3.2 million tons per year in 2018 and thereafter.
21.
After the CM development has been completed in GR‑405 in 2018, production activities are limited to LW operations. Support for maintenance of the mine in the outby areas, conveyor systems, and ventilation network will still be necessary but a significantly reduced staffing level can be utilized.
22.
In mid-2019 the LW will be transferred to Panel LW‑405, where it will operate through 2021.
There are ample coal reserves that would support extension of mine workings into the 500 and 600 districts and could provide coal supply to SJGS for another 10 to 15 years. Development of these areas requires extension of the East Main entries. In order to maintain the continuity of production activities after LW mining is completed in Panel LW‑405, ample notice (at least three years) is required. This lead time is necessary to rehabilitate the East Main entries, extend the East Main entries, and develop the headgate and tailgate entries of future LW panels.

EXHIBIT F—SJCC INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
SJCC shall, commencing with the Effective Date, maintain or cause to be maintained the insurance coverages and provisions set forth below. For purposes of this Exhibit F only, the term “Utilities” shall mean Utility, Tucson Electric Power, the City of Farmington, New Mexico, the Incorporated County of Los Alamos, New Mexico, Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems, Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc., City of Anaheim, Southern California Public Power Authority, M-S-R Public Power Agency and PNMR Development and Management Corporation, along with their respective affiliates, subsidiaries, directors, officers, managers, representatives, agents and employees. For purposes of this Exhibit F, Public Service Company of New Mexico shall be deemed the “Operator”.

(1)
To the extent permitted by law, SJCC waives on behalf of itself and its insurer all rights of recovery by subrogation or otherwise, or to assert claims for any losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses, including but not limited to attorney’s fees, against Utilities for damages. The following policies shall include an endorsement acknowledging such waiver of subrogation: Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability, Commercial Auto Liability, Umbrella/Excess Liability, and Pollution Liability.

(2)
Each insurance company listed on the SJCC’s certificate of insurance shall be rated by A.M. Best Company as having a financial strength rating of “A- “ or better and a financial size category of “VIII” or greater or otherwise be satisfactory to Operator.

(3)
All policies other than pollution liability policies must be written on an occurrence basis and maintained without interruption from the date of the commencement of services under the Agreement. Required minimum limits can be satisfied with a combination of a primary and either single or combination of excess policies.

(4)
SJCC shall furnish to the Operator sixty (30) days prior to the Effective Date and thereafter within three (3) days of the renewal of any policy required herein a certificate of liability insurance on ACORD 25 or a substitute equivalent form approved by the Operator (Liability Certificate) and a certificate of property insurance (Property Certificate) on ACORD 28 or a substitute equivalent form approved by the Operator (Property Certificate).. The Liability Certificate and Property Certificate shall include as evidence of insurance the following for each and every policy providing, Commercial Automobile Liability, Workers’ Compensation, Commercial General Liability, Umbrella/Excess Liability, Pollution Liability, and Property coverages required herein: (i) insurance company name, (ii) policy number, (iii) policy period, (iv) per occurrence and aggregate limits, (v) deductibles or self-insured retentions, and (vi) attached copies of all applicable additional insured and waiver of subrogation endorsements.

(5)
SJCC agrees to send to Operator, by certified mail, at least thirty (30) days advance written notice of cancellation, non-renewal, or material change with respect to any of the policies required herein. SJCC shall also endorse its policies to require the insurer to provide advance written notice of cancellation to Operator. If any of the above insurance policies are canceled prior to expiration, SJCC agrees to immediately replace the insurance without lapse of coverage.

Exhibit F Page 1    

Coal Supply Agreement         


(6)
A lack of insurance coverage does not reduce or limit SJCC’s obligation to indemnify Operator as set forth in the Agreement.

(7)
Material Breach. Should any of the policies required to be maintained by SJCC become unavailable or be canceled for any reason during the period of this Agreement, SJCC shall immediately procure replacement coverage. The failure of SJCC to procure such replacement coverage (so as to provide continuous coverage) shall constitute a material breach hereunder.

(8)
SJCC shall provide to Operator on an annual basis a schedule of insurance outlining: coverage type, insureds, policy number, policy term, insurer, limits, self-insured retention or deductible, specific exclusions, and premium. In addition, policies of insurance shall be provided upon written request from Operator. Upon Operator’s written request, SJCC shall provide to Operator copies of claim submission information and supporting documents; correspondence with insurers; proposed claim settlement offers; and copies of correspondence with defense counsel for significant claims.

(9)
In the event of a material change to be made to a policy, SJCC shall give at least 180 days’ notice in writing prior to the next incepting coverage term of the respective insurance policy a description of the proposed change to Operator. SJCC shall provide additional supporting documentation for proposed change upon written request from Operator. No material changes are to be made to a policy without Operator’s concurrence. Except for minor changes, which shall be outlined in the annual schedule of insurance.

All coverages required for all work performed under the Agreement.
