Nominal Size, 0-50mm, % 85% (+/- 10%)

IV. QUALITY AND QUANTITY DETERMINATION

1. The quality of each shipment shall be determined in accordance with the ASTM test method for sampling and analysis.

Prior to vessel loading, SELLER and BUYER shall agree on the independent laboratory/surveyor that will be tapped to conduct sampling and analysis of the coal shipment.

During loading, the designated independent laboratory shall take representative samples and conduct analysis of the shipment in accordance with ASTM method.

A 5 kilogram sample shall be arranged by SELLER to be sent to the BUYER’s Plant at SELLER’s expense via air freight within eight (8) calendar days after departure of vessel from load port. Said sample shall be analyzed by the BUYER’s Plant for confirmation of the analysis reflected in the Certificate of Sampling and Analysis (COA).

The third party laboratory shall issue a COA on proximate, HGI, Sulphur, and size distribution which shall be facsimiled by the SELLER to the BUYER’s Plant within three (3) working days from departure of vessel at the load port.

The results of the analysis reflected on the COA at loadport shall be the basis of settlement, and adjustments when applicable under this contract.

2. However, if the results of the analysis of the BUYER’s own or designated laboratory at the discharge port, shows a difference exceeding the allowable reproducibility limits set in the appropriate ASTM standard as compared to the results of the load port analysis, the BUYER may request for testing of the quarter sample held by the Parties to be conducted by another third party laboratory within thirty (30) calendar days after the sampling date. The third party umpire laboratory shall be mutually selected by the BUYER and SELLER.

All cost associated to the umpire analysis shall be borne by the party whose test results provide a wider variance from the umpire analysis.

3. BUYER reserves the right at anytime to cause its designated personnel to attend and observe the determination of the quality and weight at the loading port at its own expense. In such event, the SELLER shall cooperate with such attendance and observation.

4. The quantity of coal delivered by vessel shall be determined at the load port through a vessel draft survey conducted by licensed surveyor mutually acceptable to both the BUYER and the SELLER. Expenses for the conduct of the draft survey shall be for the account of the SELLER. Said surveyor shall issue a Certificate of Weight thereof

3

Page 4: Coal Supply Contract Pt a Davao

which shall be the basis of payment subject to the adjustment in accordance with this contract.

The BUYER shall have the right to have a draft survey conducted by a designated surveyor upon arrival of the cargo at the discharging port. Should the draft survey reading at the discharge port conducted by the BUYER’s designated surveyor show a negative variance of less than one percent (1%) compared to the quantity determined at load port, then the load port measurements shall be taken as final. If the variance, however, exceeds one percent (1%), then the BUYER shall file a claim for the quantity discrepancy within thirty (30) days from the completion of the discharge.

V. PRICE AND PAYMENT METHOD.

The total contract price of the coal delivered shall be ONE HUNDRED FIVE UNITED STATES DOLLARS (US$105.00/MT) per month on Cost Insurance and Freight Basis (CIF Basis) delivered to HOLCIM CORPORATION in Lugait, Philippines, broken down as follows:

FOB Barge USD 85.00 / MTFreight to Davao USD 20.00 / MT

3. The SELLER shall be notified in writing of the BUYER’s intent to reject the coal delivery within twenty-four (24) hours prior to the arrival of the vessel at the discharge port.

4. If the coal delivery is rejected, the BUYER may require the SELLER to deliver replacement coal of a similar quantity and of a quality which meets the specifications, or proceed to procure coal from other suppliers.

VII. WEIGHT AND PRICE ADJUSTMENT

1. Weight Adjustment

The certified weight of the coal shipment shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula if the certified Total Moisture content as reflected in the COA at load port issued by the mutually agreed third party laboratory exceeds 32% (ARB):

Wa = Wc x [1- (TMc – TMg)] 100

Where:

5

Page 6: Coal Supply Contract Pt a Davao

Wa = Adjusted weight of coal delivered due to excess in moisture content, MT

Wc = Certified weight of coal delivered, MTTMc = Certified Total Moisture content (ARB), %TMg = Guaranteed Total Moisture content (ARB), %

The SELLER shall not receive any bonus if the Certified Total Moisture content (ADB) is lower than the Guaranteed Total Moisture content (ARB).

2. Price Adjustment on Coal Quality

The base FOB price of coal shall be subject to adjustments for variations in Gross Calorific Value, Ash, and Sulfur based on the Certificate of Sampling and Analysis issued by the mutually agreed third party laboratory.

A. Gross Calorific Value

(i) There shall be bonus price adjustment on the FOB price where the Certified Gross Calorific Value (GCV) (ADB) as indicated in the Certificate of Analysis is greater than the Guaranteed GCV (ADB).

(ii) Penalty on GCV shall be applied for GCV lower than 5500 kcal/kg (ADB);

(iii) If Certified GCV is lower than 5500 kcal/kg, the FOB price shall be reduced as follows:

Price Reduction

= FOB x [ 6300 kcal/kg - Certified GCV ] 6300 kcal/kg

Where:

GCV = Gross Calorific Value of coal, kcal/kg (ADB) FOB = Base FOB Price of Coal, in USD per MT

B. Ash

(i) There shall be no upward adjustment on the FOB price if the Certified Ash (ADB) of the coal shipment is equal to or below the Guaranteed Ash (ADB).

(ii) The FOB price shall be reduced accordingly if the Certified Ash content (ADB) of the coal shipment is above 8% (ADB) :

Price Reduction

= FOB x 0.01 x [Certified Ash – Guaranteed Ash] Guaranteed Ash

Where:

Ash = Ash content of coal, in % (ADB)

6

Page 7: Coal Supply Contract Pt a Davao

FOB = Base FOB Price of Coal, in USD per MT

3. Adjusted Contract Price

The Adjusted Contract Price per ton shall be calculated as follows:

Adjusted FOB

= FOB – Price Reduction (GCV + Ash)

Adjusted C&F Price

= Adjusted FOB + Freight

4. Cost of Shipment

The cost of coal shipment for purposes of final payment by BUYER including the aforementioned price reduction formula shall be calculated and rounded off to four (4) decimal places as follows:

Cost of Shipment

= Adjusted C&F Price X Wa

Where:

Adjusted C&F Price

= Adjusted C&F price of coal, in USD per MT

Wa = Adjusted weight of coal delivered due to excess in moisture content, MT
