ADW& _ Assistant ity Attorney FINAL CONTRACT FOR TYPE VI WASTEAND YARD WASTE PROCESSING WITH IESI CRL 03.0 7.03 ---- 32 f Attachment A Cost Adjustment Method The Fee for Processing of Type IV Waste, including C&D and Bulky Waste, and the Fee for Disposal of Non-Processible Type IV Waste C&D and Large Bulky Items collected from the City under the Contract with the City will be adjusted by the Contractor for the second and subsequent Contract Years of the Term of Contract. The Processing Fee and the Disposal Fee will be adjusted upward or downward to reflect changes in the cost of operations by the Cost Adjustment Method using indices applicable to Processing and Disposal, respectively, and the methodology as set forth below, on the anniversary date of the Contract (the "Cost Adjustment Date"), except that the first anniversary date shall be October 1, 2003, and the first Cost Adjustment shall only represent changes in the indices applied herein for the previous six months. The price for the disposal of residuals is included in the Processing Fee. All indices used represent either the Employment Cost Index (ECI) or components of the Producer Price Index (PPI), and are all published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Since some BLS data are not finalized for several months, cost adjustments will not be applied until all data used are issued as final. If BLS changes the methodology for calculating ECI or components of the PPI, which causes historical data used to calculate this cost adjustment to be restated, such changes shall only apply to future adjustments and not to adjustments already implemented. Cost adjustments shall not exceed five (5) percent per year and fifteen (15) percent in any four consecutive years. As soon as possible after a Cost Adjustment Date, Contractor shall send to the City a comparative statement setting out the change determined through the Cost Adjustment Method and the increase or decrease in the Processing Fee and the Disposal Fee which will be charged by the Contractor. On the next billing date after the receipt and approval by the City of the comparative statement showing the calculated change to the Processing Fee and the Disposal Fee, the City shall pay to the Contractor, or the Contractor shall credit to the City, as the case may be, a lump sum equal to any increase or decrease applicable to that portion of the current period which has elapsed, and thereafter, the Processing Fee and the Disposal Fee charged by the Contractor shall be modified to reflect any change until the next Cost Adjustment Date, and a comparative statement is received and approved by the City. Any fixed pass-through or add-on surcharges or costs, such as State fees on tonnage, host municipality benefit fees, or any other government mandated surcharge, shall not apply to the cost adjustment and will be deducted from the Processing Fee and the Disposal Fee prior to calculating any annual cost adjustment. If any index defined herein shall not be determined and published or if any index as it is constituted on the Contract Date is thereafter substantially changed, there shall be substituted for such index another index which is determined and published on a basis substantially similar to the index being replaced as shall be mutually agreed upon by the City and the Contractor. Listed below are the indices and Contractor's percentages of the indices that shall constitute the basis for adjustment of the Fees for Processing and Disposal under this Contract. The percent of change applied to cost adjustment shall be carried out to three (3) decimal places without rounding. Indices and Contractor's Percentage of Each Index to be Applied in the Cost Adjustment - Processing Industrial Handling Equipment (5%) Contractor has designated 5% of Processing Fee to be adjusted by the "Industrial Handling Equipment" component of the PPI, which is found under "Capital Equipment," commodity code 11-44". Employment Cost Index (75%) Contractor has designated 75% of Processing Fee to be adjusted by the ECI, a BLS index separate from PPI. ECI data for "South" under the "Region (3)" category shall be used for the adjustment calculation. No. 2 Diesel Fuel (20%) Contractor has designated 20% of Processing Fee to be adjusted by the No. 2 Diesel Fuel component of "Fuel and Related Products and Power" in the PPI, which is found under the "05" Commodity Code, "Fuels and Related Products and Power', "05730302 No. 2 diesel fuel". Example Following is an example of the application of these indices with Contractor's percentages for cost adjustment. In the example below, an annual factor of -4.028% would be applied to Contractor's base Processing Fee to determine the Processing Fee for the next Contract Year.

Should any money due or owing under this Guaranty not be recoverable from the Guarantor due to any of the matters specified in subparagraphs (1) through (14) above, then, in any such case, such money, together with all additional sums due hereunder, shall nevertheless be C-5 recoverable from the Guarantor as though the Guarantor were principal obligor in place of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Contract and not merely a guarantor and shall be paid by the Guarantor forthwith subject to the terms of this Guaranty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed in this Guaranty, nothing in this Guaranty shall be deemed to amend, modify, clarify, expand or reduce the Company's rights, benefits, duties or obligations under the Contract. To the extent that any of the matters specified in subparagraphs (1) through (6) and (8) through (14) would provide a defense to, release, discharge or otherwise affect the Company's Obligations, the Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty shall be treated the same. SECTION 111.4. DEFENSES, SET-OFFS AND COUNTERCLAIMS.

SECTION 111.6. PAYMENT OF COSTS AND EXPENSES. The Guarantor agrees to pay the City on demand all reasonable costs and expenses, legal or otherwise (including counsel fees), incurred by or on behalf of the City in successfully enforcing by Legal Proceeding observance of the covenants, agreements and obligations contained in this Guaranty against the Guarantor, other than the costs and expenses that the City incurs in performing any of its obligations under the Contract.

The Guarantor agrees that any right of subrogation or contribution which it may have against the Company as a result of any payment or performance hereunder is hereby fully subordinated to the rights of the City hereunder and that the Guarantor shall not recover or seek to recover any payment made by it hereunder from the Company until the Company and the Guarantor shall have fully and satisfactorily paid or performed and discharged the obligations giving rise to a claim under this Guaranty. SECTION 111.8. SEPARATE OBLIGATIONS: REINSTATEMENT. The obligations of the Guarantor to make any payment or to perform and discharge any other duties, agreements, covenants, undertakings or obligations hereunder shall (1) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, constitute separate and independent obligations of the Guarantor from its other obligations under this Guaranty, (2) give rise to separate and independent causes of action against the Guarantor, and (3) apply irrespective of any indulgence granted from time to time by the City. The Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment or performance by or on behalf of the Company is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by the City, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, unless such rescission or restoration is pursuant to the terms of the Contract or the Company's enforcement of such terms under Applicable Law.
