EXHIBIT A

TO AMENDMENT NO. 5

Example of calculation of Pattiki Mine Substitute Coal adjusted price, assuming the following:

 

1. Pattiki Mine Current Price Effective January 1, 2010 is $****** per ton, exclusive of severance taxes.

 

2. Freight Rate from Pattiki Mine to Palatka Plant for January 2010 is $****** per ton.

 

3. Pattiki Mine contract specification for BTU is ****** BTU/lb.

 

4. Dotiki Mine ships ****** tons during month of January 2010 with monthly weighted average of ****** BTU/lb serving as substitute to Pattiki Mine coal.

Calculation of Pattiki Mine substitute coal price adjustment is as follows:

(****** – ******) x ($****** + $******) x ****** tons = ****** BTU Premium

                                     ******

$****** BTU Premium ÷ ****** tons = $****** per ton BTU Premium

Then, the price for Substitute Coal for Pattiki Mine is: $****** Current Price + $****** per ton adjustment = $****** realized price per ton for Dotiki coal serving as Substitute Coal for Pattiki Mine coal.
