<br />-3- <br />In any single year during the life of the permit, the amount of the Financial Warranty shall not exceed the estimated cost of <br />fully reclaiming all lands to be affected in said year, plus all lands affected in previous permit years and not yet fully <br />reclaimed. Reclamation costs shall be computed with reference to current reclamation costs. <br />The amount of this Financial Warranty is based upon estimates as to the cost of reclamation, and does not operate to <br />liquidate, limit, enlarge or restrict the Operator's obligations to complete reclamation and to comply in all respects with the <br />permit and with applicable laws and regulations governing reclamation, even though the actual cost thereof may substantially <br />exceed the amount of this Financial Warranty. <br />The Warrantor shall not be liable under this Financial Warranty for an amount greater than the sum designated herein, unless <br />increased by a later amendment to this Financial Warranty. This Financial Warranty shall be reviewed by the Board from <br />time to time, and the Board may require an increase in the principal sum of this Financial Warranty (and a corresponding <br />increase in the surety amount) to cover increases in the estimated costs of reclamation, but no such increase shall bind the <br />Warrantor unless and until it shall have consented thereto in writing by the issuance of an additional Financial Warranty or <br />by an endorsement to this Financial Warranty. <br />The Warrantor reserves the right to cancel this Financial Warranty, effective only upon an anniversary date, and only by <br />giving written notice to that effect, mailed by Certified Mail, at least ninety (90) days prior to such anniversary date, <br />addressed to both the Operator at its address herein stated, and to the Board at the address herein stated. In the event of such <br />cancellation, this Financial Warranty shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect as respects the reclamation of all areas <br />disturbed prior to the effective date of such cancellation, unless and until the Operator shall file a substitute Financial <br />Warranty which: (1) assumes liability for all reclamation obligations which shall have arisen at any time while this Financial <br />Warranty is in force; and (2) is accepted in writing by the Board. <br />In the event of such cancellation, if the Financial Warranty is not fully released, the amount of the continuing Financial <br />Warranty available for the reclamation of areas disturbed and unreclaimed at the date of cancellation shall be fixed by the <br />Board at the amount it determines necessary to complete such reclamation (which amount may not exceed the sum <br />designated herein) and the Board shall concurrently identify such areas in writing, and notify the Warrantor and the Operator <br />thereof. Thereafter, the obligation of the Warrantor shall be limited to reclamation of the areas so identified. <br />The consideration for the Warrantor's execution of this agreement is the promise of the Operator to pay the premiums, but <br />failure by the Operator to pay such premiums shall not invalidate or diminish the Warrantor's obligation hereunder. <br />The Board may make demand upon. the Warrantor for payment hereunder if the Board determines that reclamation which <br />ought to have been performed by the Operator, or its successors or assigns, remains unperformed, and if Financial Warranty <br />forfeiture procedures required bylaw have been initiated. No other condition precedent need be fulfilled to entitle the State <br />to receive the amount so demanded. However, if, upon completion of reclamation by the State, the amounts expended for <br />reclamation shall be less than the amount received from the Warrantor, the excess shall be promptly refunded to the <br />Warrantor. <br />If demand is made upon the Warrantor for payment of an amount due to the Board hereunder, and if the Warrantor fails to <br />make payment of such amount within ninety (90) days after the date of receipt of such demand, or if it should thereafter be <br />determined, by agreement of the Warrantor or by final judgment of court, that the amount demanded was properly payable, <br />the Warrantor agrees to pay to the Board, in addition to the amount demanded, interest at the prime rate in effect from time <br />to time at The United Bank of Denver for the period commencing at the end of such ninety-day period and ending on the <br />date of actual payment.
