Common use of Weighing Clause in Contracts

Weighing. The weight of the lignite delivered to SWEPCO from the Mine for use at SWEPCO’s Plant shall be determined on scales properly installed on conveyor belts leading from SWEPCO's lignite dumping facilities or by other means mutually agreed upon by SWEPCO and SABINE. SWEPCO shall consult with SABINE as to design, selection and installation of such scale(s), and the parties shall mutually agree as to such matters. The scales shall be maintained and calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommended standards. SWEPCO shall calibrate such scale(s) on a regular basis during the Production Period (not less than monthly) and maintain such scale(s) within design tolerance. SABINE shall have the right to have a representative present at any and all times to observe the testing and calibration of the scale(s). The weight of the Norit Tons shall be determined on scales furnished and maintained by Norit. The weights thus determined shall be accepted as the quantity of lignite delivered under this Agreement and for which invoices are to be rendered and payments made in accordance with Article XII hereof. SABINE shall be given a record of all weight determinations made by SWEPCO and Norit. If either SWEPCO or SABINE at any time questions the accuracy of SWEPCO’s scales or the Norit scales, such party may request a prompt test and adjustment of such scales by utilizing a material weight test, the procedures for which the parties shall mutually agree, at the requesting party’s expense. If such test reveals error in weight in excess of the manufacturer’s specified tolerances, the scale shall be adjusted to an accurate condition, and an appropriate adjustment shall be made in the invoices and payments affected by such inaccuracy; provided, however, no such adjustment shall be for a period in excess of the lesser of (a) one-half of the period since the date that either party first questioned the accuracy of the weights and the date of the last regularly scheduled test of the scales, or (b) three (3) months.

Weighing. All Deliveries: The weighing party shall determine the weight of the lignite Coal delivered to SWEPCO from hereunder at its expense using its rail, truck, or belt scales, as applicable. (A) The accuracy of the Mine for use at SWEPCOweighing party’s Plant shall be determined on scales properly installed on conveyor belts leading from SWEPCO's lignite dumping facilities or by other means mutually agreed upon by SWEPCO and SABINE. SWEPCO shall consult with SABINE as to design, selection and installation of such rail scale(s), and the parties truck scale(s), or batch weighing system, as applicable, shall mutually agree as be maintained to such matterswithin plus or minus two tenths of one percent (± 0.20%) accuracy. The weighing party's rail scale(s), truck scale(s), or batch weighing system, as applicable, shall be tested and calibrated semiannually by the appropriate certifying agency in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the National Institute of Standards and Technology Handbook #44, or other procedures which shall be mutually acceptable to Seller and Buyer.

SWEPCO shall calibrate such scales are discovered to be outside of acceptable tolerance ranges (± 0.20% for rail scale(s), truck scales, or batch weighing system, and ± 0.25% for conveyor belt scales), then an appropriate adjustment will be made to the tonnage and invoiced retroactively to the date of the most recent calibration or thirty (30) on a regular basis during calendar days prior to the Production Period calibration which was found in error, whichever is later. (not less than monthlyD) and maintain such scale(s) within design tolerance. SABINE Buyer shall have the right no obligation to have a representative present at pay for any and all times to observe the testing and calibration of the scale(s). The weight of the Norit Tons shall be determined on scales furnished and maintained by Norit. The weights thus determined shall be accepted as the quantity of lignite Coal being delivered under this Agreement and for which invoices are to be rendered and payments made in accordance with Article XII hereof. SABINE shall be given a record of all weight determinations made by SWEPCO and Norit. If either SWEPCO or SABINE at any time questions the accuracy of SWEPCO’s scales or the Norit scales, such party may request a prompt test and adjustment of such scales by utilizing a material weight test, the procedures for which the parties shall mutually agree, at the requesting party’s expense. If such test reveals error in weight via truck that Buyer determines is in excess of the manufacturer’s specified tolerancesmaximum number of Tons of Coal that is legally deliverable to the plant or other consigned destination by such truck at the time of such delivery in accordance with applicable law. (E) If there is no certified belt scale system at the Delivery Point, and if the parties specifically agree that weights shall be determined hereunder by draft survey taken at the Delivery Point, then all such draft surveys to determine weight shall be conducted by an independent surveyor (certified commercial marine surveyor for vessels) experienced in the conduct of draft surveys selected by mutual agreement of the parties. In cases where (i) there is no certified belt scale system at the Delivery Point and a draft survey is not taken at the Delivery Point or (ii) the Delivery Point is the ultimate destination, weights and where available, sampling, shall be determined at the destination by Buyer.

(G) Irrespective of which party’s weights govern for payment hereunder, Seller shall properly weigh each Shipment hereunder and report such weights to an accurate conditionBuyer within twenty-four (24) hours after the Coal has been loaded for shipment. Seller’s weights shall be reported to the recipients designated by and in the manner specified by ▇▇▇▇▇. If Seller’s scales are inoperable, Seller shall notify Buyer. (H) Exclusive of Section 3(E), during any period when weighing party's scales are inoperable then both the determination of the quantities of Coal delivered and an appropriate adjustment the manner for sampling and analysis for such period shall be based on the following order of precedence, as applicable: (i) if the non- weighing party is able to use a scale system that is certified in accordance with the requirements of Section 3(A) above and the non-sampling party has a sampling system that is operable, then the non-weighing party shall become both the weighing party and the sampling and analysis party and the non-weighing party shall weigh the Coal in accordance with the weighing provisions of Section 3 and sample and analyze the Coal in accordance with the sampling and analysis provisions of Section 4, or (ii) if the non-weighing party is not able to use a certified scale system, then determination of the quantities of Coal delivered shall be made in the invoices by a procedure to be established at such time by agreement of Buyer and payments affected by such inaccuracy; provided, however, no such adjustment shall be for a period in excess of the lesser of (a) one-half of the period since the date that either party first questioned the accuracy of the weights and the date of the last regularly scheduled test of the scales, or (b) three (3) monthsSeller.
