Exhibit A - Special Stipulations 2014 Sales Contract <br />Upland Gravel Inc <br />Upland #3 Gravel Pit <br />1. Commencement of operations under this contract is considered acceptance of all special <br />stipulations. <br />2. The mining and reclamation plan covers the gravel deposits contained on the terrace. <br />Because extraction of the gravel deposit will require multiple sales contracts, the plan is <br />approved subject to the approval of additional sales contracts. The operator shall conduct <br />operations as per the submitted mining and reclamation plan, except as modified herein. Any <br />modifications to the plan shall be approved in advance by BLM. The mining and reclamation <br />plan will be reviewed prior to each sales contract to ensure that the plan is still current. <br />3. This sales contract has a 2 -year term, with a maximum tonnage purchase of 200,000 tons. <br />This tonnage can be acquired in a single purchase or through multiple smaller purchases during <br />the contract period, but all purchases must be made in advance of gravel removal. This <br />contract will terminate after 2 years or 200,000 tons of production, whichever comes first. <br />BLM will then decide what type of new contract is appropriate. <br />4. The operator shall comply with all payment requirements specified in BLM regulation 43 <br />CFR 3602.21. If installment payments are made, the operator shall pay the first installment, <br />which is equal to 5 percent of the total purchase price, prior to or at the time the contract is <br />awarded. Subsequent installments are paid monthly in an amount equal to the value of the <br />mineral material removed from the site each month. Advance payment for annual production <br />or for the total contract purchase price may also be made. <br />5. The royalty rate for the initial sales contract is 66 cents per ton, which applies to any <br />product removed from the pit and sold. Mineral material will be reappraised using the <br />consumer price index or updated gravel sales data, and the contract unit price adjusted <br />accordingly at 2 year intervals (from date of last appraisal, April 2006). <br />6. The operator shall comply with the following production verification requirements: <br />Point of Sale — At the time gravel material is removed from BLM land (including for <br />stockpiling or processing purposes), it is considered sold to Upland Gravels, and <br />therefore, royalty is owed. The royalty due in advance of removal is based on the <br />projected tonnage of gravel products to be generated. The royalty paid on projected <br />tonnages will be verified from actual tonnages in the production reports. The final <br />point of sale for royalty accounting purposes will be tonnage removed from the site, as <br />weighed on the haul road truck scales. <br />Production Reports - The operator shall submit a monthly production report providing <br />documentation of gravel production (tons sold), based on weigh scale numbers. The <br />report shall include a breakdown of the gravel products sold for the month, including a <br />
