in the following manner. The F.O.B. Railcar Price then in
effect, specified and determined as provided in Section V, but
before any Ash or SO2 Adjustment provided for hereafter in
this Section VI, shall be adjusted to reflect variation from
11,800 BTU per pound in such weighted average calorific value
of the coal received, in arriving at the price (exclusive of
any Ash or SO2 Adjustment) to be paid by KU to Seller for such
coal, in accordance with the following formula (assuming, for
purposes of illustration, an adjusted price, prior to the

Actual BTU/lb. - 11,800 x $21.73 = Premium/Penalty Per Ton.
-----------------------
11,800
Section VI.(4). SO2 Adjustment.
(a) Such weighted average SO2 value shall be used in
adjusting the price of coal in the following manner. The
price of coal accepted containing a monthly weighted
average SO2 in excess of the 3.00 Lbs./MMBtu guarantee
will be adjusted downward according to the following
formula:
(Actual SO2 - 3.00)(Actual Btu/lb.) = $ per ton downward adjustment
------------------------------------

Example: Monthly weighted average SO2 = 3.50;
monthly weighted BTU per lb. = 12,000:
SO2 Guarantee = 3.00.

(3.50 - 3.00) (12,000.) = $0.64 per ton downward adjustment
