                  this Amendment.

         2.       This Amendment shall be Amendment No. 3 to the Coal Supply
                  Agreement.

         3.       This Amendment shall be Amendment No. 1 to the Spot Contract.

                  of any coal synfuel supply agreement be the basis for Buyer or
                  Seller, respectively, to claim breach, default or
                  non-performance, or to claim a right of offset, counterclaim
                  or cancellation of any of the Coal Contracts and each of the
                  Coal Contracts shall continue in full force and effect.
