Louisville Gas and Electric Company and Kentucky Utilities Company agree the following revised pricing will apply to all coal shipped via truck from Midway Mine to Armstrong Dock (formerly known as Smallhous Dock) during the time period from April 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009.

From April 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009 the Base Price shall be the Base Price plus adjustment (per Section 8.4), plus $1.90 per ton, FOB Barge Armstrong Dock located at Mile Point 76.6 on the Green River (which Base Price covers the coal, trucking cost to deliver the coal to Armstrong Dock and all costs to transload the coal into barges at Armstrong Dock).
