incurred in the proceeding.

15.  Force Majeure

     Except as provided in Section 10, neither party shall be liable for delays
or failures in performance hereunder when prevented by conditions of severe
weather, fire, Acts of God, catastrophe or other extreme events that were not
reasonably foreseeable, are beyond the reasonable control of the party claiming
excuse and are of general widespread effect (collectively, "Force Majeure"),
provided that the affected party provides prompt notice to the other party and
takes all reasonable steps to mitigate the effect and duration of the Force
Majeure. Force Majeure events shall not include Contractor's equipment failure,
or adverse or unexpected conditions experienced in the mining of the slurry. In
the event Contractor claims excuse due to Force Majeure, Owner shall not be
obligated to pay the Equipment Fee (prorated) during any period that
Contractor's performance is excused.

16.  Option to Purchase Equipment

     If Owner elects its option to extend this Agreement for a minimum term of 3
years, Owner shall have the exclusive right and option to purchase Contractor's
equipment described on Exhibit A at any time after the 36th month at its then
fair market value determined by agreement of the parties or by independent

Contractor. Upon the closing of the purchase of the equipment, if this Agreement
continues if effect, Owner shall thereafter furnish such equipment for
Contractor's use hereunder and Owner's obligation to pay fixed monthly fees

Contractor is in default under Section 9.1 of this Agreement, Owner shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the equipment described on
Exhibit A at its then current fair market value as determined as provided above.
