purchase the iron mineralizer additive commercially) and will sell the iron mineralizer additive to the Company at a $5.00 per ton mark-up on the cost of the undelivered iron mineralizer additive (i.e., if the commercial market rate for the iron
mineralizer additive is $10.00/ton, ADA would sell the iron mineralizer additive to the Company for $15.00/ton, undelivered). 


  

	 	•	 	 Other chemicals or additives that may be required for coal treatment will be sold by ADA to the Company at ADA’s cost, plus its standard

	 	•	 	 Equipment will be sold to the Company by ADA at ADA’s cost, plus delivery, without mark-up. The Company shall have the right, upon reasonable
notice to ADA, to inspect, from time to time, the documentation relating to Equipment purchases by ADA. 


  

	 	•	 	 Price changes will be provided to the Company in writing by ADA from time to time, based on raw material prices charged to ADA by its suppliers.

Statistics of the United States Department of Labor for the prior calendar year. At the Company’s request, ADA will supply the Company with copies of any invoices or similar or related documents evidencing the raw material prices charged to ADA

specified in an Order Document.
