CALCULATION OF CPI AND FUEL INDEX ADJUSTMENTS TO CONTRACTORS RATE

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

(httpdatablsgovPDOservletSurveyOutputServletdata tool=dropmapampseries id=CUUR03 OOSAOCUUS0300SAO)

CPI= average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

CPI2 = average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

FI = Fuel Index is the Lower Atlantic (P ADD 1 C) No 2 Diesel Ultra Low Sulfur (0-15 ppm) Retail Sales by All Sellers (Cents per Gallon) US Department ofEnergy Energy Information Administration

(httptontoeiadoegovdnavpethistLeafHandlerashxn=PETamps=EMD EPD2DXLO PTE RlZ CPGampf=M)

FIi = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

FI2 = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

SAMPLE CALCULATION Assumptions TampD= $3677

CPI= 207845 CPI2 = 208261 FIi = 2661 FI2 = 2772

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

(httpdatablsgovPDOservletSurveyOutputServletdata tool=dropmapampseries id=CUUR03 OOSAOCUUS0300SAO)

CPI= average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

CPI2 = average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

FI = Fuel Index is the Lower Atlantic (P ADD 1 C) No 2 Diesel Ultra Low Sulfur (0-15 ppm) Retail Sales by All Sellers (Cents per Gallon) US Department ofEnergy Energy Information Administration

(httptontoeiadoegovdnavpethistLeafHandlerashxn=PETamps=EMD EPD2DXLO PTE RlZ CPGampf=M)

FIi = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

FI2 = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

SAMPLE CALCULATION Assumptions TampD= $3677

CPI= 207845 CPI2 = 208261 FIi = 2661 FI2 = 2772

New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [70 x $3677 x (1 + (75 x ((208261shy207845)207845)))] + [30 X $3677x (29722661)] New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [$257776] + [$114911] = $3727

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

(httpdatablsgovPDOservletSurveyOutputServletdata tool=dropmapampseries id=CUUR03 OOSAOCUUS0300SAO)

CPI= average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

CPI2 = average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

FI = Fuel Index is the Lower Atlantic (P ADD 1 C) No 2 Diesel Ultra Low Sulfur (0-15 ppm) Retail Sales by All Sellers (Cents per Gallon) US Department ofEnergy Energy Information Administration

(httptontoeiadoegovdnavpethistLeafHandlerashxn=PETamps=EMD EPD2DXLO PTE RlZ CPGampf=M)

FIi = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

FI2 = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

SAMPLE CALCULATION Assumptions TampD= $3677

CPI= 207845 CPI2 = 208261 FIi = 2661 FI2 = 2772

New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [70 x $3677 x (1 + (75 x ((208261shy207845)207845)))] + [30 X $3677x (29722661)] New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [$257776] + [$114911] = $3727

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

(httpdatablsgovPDOservletSurveyOutputServletdata tool=dropmapampseries id=CUUR03 OOSAOCUUS0300SAO)

CPI= average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

CPI2 = average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

FI = Fuel Index is the Lower Atlantic (P ADD 1 C) No 2 Diesel Ultra Low Sulfur (0-15 ppm) Retail Sales by All Sellers (Cents per Gallon) US Department ofEnergy Energy Information Administration

(httptontoeiadoegovdnavpethistLeafHandlerashxn=PETamps=EMD EPD2DXLO PTE RlZ CPGampf=M)

FIi = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

FI2 = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

SAMPLE CALCULATION Assumptions TampD= $3677

CPI= 207845 CPI2 = 208261 FIi = 2661 FI2 = 2772

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

(httpdatablsgovPDOservletSurveyOutputServletdata tool=dropmapampseries id=CUUR03 OOSAOCUUS0300SAO)

CPI= average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

CPI2 = average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

FI = Fuel Index is the Lower Atlantic (P ADD 1 C) No 2 Diesel Ultra Low Sulfur (0-15 ppm) Retail Sales by All Sellers (Cents per Gallon) US Department ofEnergy Energy Information Administration

(httptontoeiadoegovdnavpethistLeafHandlerashxn=PETamps=EMD EPD2DXLO PTE RlZ CPGampf=M)

FIi = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

FI2 = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

SAMPLE CALCULATION Assumptions TampD= $3677

CPI= 207845 CPI2 = 208261 FIi = 2661 FI2 = 2772

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

(httpdatablsgovPDOservletSurveyOutputServletdata tool=dropmapampseries id=CUUR03 OOSAOCUUS0300SAO)

CPI= average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

CPI2 = average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

FI = Fuel Index is the Lower Atlantic (P ADD 1 C) No 2 Diesel Ultra Low Sulfur (0-15 ppm) Retail Sales by All Sellers (Cents per Gallon) US Department ofEnergy Energy Information Administration

(httptontoeiadoegovdnavpethistLeafHandlerashxn=PETamps=EMD EPD2DXLO PTE RlZ CPGampf=M)

FIi = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

FI2 = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

SAMPLE CALCULATION Assumptions TampD= $3677

CPI= 207845 CPI2 = 208261 FIi = 2661 FI2 = 2772

New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [70 x $3677 x (1 + (75 x ((208261shy207845)207845)))] + [30 X $3677x (29722661)] New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [$257776] + [$114911] = $3727

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

(httpdatablsgovPDOservletSurveyOutputServletdata tool=dropmapampseries id=CUUR03 OOSAOCUUS0300SAO)

CPI= average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

CPI2 = average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

FI = Fuel Index is the Lower Atlantic (P ADD 1 C) No 2 Diesel Ultra Low Sulfur (0-15 ppm) Retail Sales by All Sellers (Cents per Gallon) US Department ofEnergy Energy Information Administration

(httptontoeiadoegovdnavpethistLeafHandlerashxn=PETamps=EMD EPD2DXLO PTE RlZ CPGampf=M)

FIi = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

FI2 = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

SAMPLE CALCULATION Assumptions TampD= $3677

CPI= 207845 CPI2 = 208261 FIi = 2661 FI2 = 2772

New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [70 x $3677 x (1 + (75 x ((208261shy207845)207845)))] + [30 X $3677x (29722661)] New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [$257776] + [$114911] = $3727

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

CALCULATION OF CPI AND FUEL INDEX ADJUSTMENTS TO CONTRACTORS RATE

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

(httpdatablsgovPDOservletSurveyOutputServletdata tool=dropmapampseries id=CUUR03 OOSAOCUUS0300SAO)

CPI= average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

CPI2 = average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

FI = Fuel Index is the Lower Atlantic (P ADD 1 C) No 2 Diesel Ultra Low Sulfur (0-15 ppm) Retail Sales by All Sellers (Cents per Gallon) US Department ofEnergy Energy Information Administration

(httptontoeiadoegovdnavpethistLeafHandlerashxn=PETamps=EMD EPD2DXLO PTE RlZ CPGampf=M)

FIi = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

FI2 = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

SAMPLE CALCULATION Assumptions TampD= $3677

CPI= 207845 CPI2 = 208261 FIi = 2661 FI2 = 2772

New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [70 x $3677 x (1 + (75 x ((208261shy207845)207845)))] + [30 X $3677x (29722661)] New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [$257776] + [$114911] = $3727

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

CALCULATION OF CPI AND FUEL INDEX ADJUSTMENTS TO CONTRACTORS RATE

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

(httpdatablsgovPDOservletSurveyOutputServletdata tool=dropmapampseries id=CUUR03 OOSAOCUUS0300SAO)

CPI= average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

CPI2 = average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

FI = Fuel Index is the Lower Atlantic (P ADD 1 C) No 2 Diesel Ultra Low Sulfur (0-15 ppm) Retail Sales by All Sellers (Cents per Gallon) US Department ofEnergy Energy Information Administration

(httptontoeiadoegovdnavpethistLeafHandlerashxn=PETamps=EMD EPD2DXLO PTE RlZ CPGampf=M)

FIi = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

FI2 = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

SAMPLE CALCULATION Assumptions TampD= $3677

CPI= 207845 CPI2 = 208261 FIi = 2661 FI2 = 2772

New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [70 x $3677 x (1 + (75 x ((208261shy207845)207845)))] + [30 X $3677x (29722661)] New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [$257776] + [$114911] = $3727

CALCULATION OF CPI AND FUEL INDEX ADJUSTMENTS TO CONTRACTORS RATE

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

(httpdatablsgovPDOservletSurveyOutputServletdata tool=dropmapampseries id=CUUR03 OOSAOCUUS0300SAO)

CPI= average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

CPI2 = average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

FI = Fuel Index is the Lower Atlantic (P ADD 1 C) No 2 Diesel Ultra Low Sulfur (0-15 ppm) Retail Sales by All Sellers (Cents per Gallon) US Department ofEnergy Energy Information Administration

(httptontoeiadoegovdnavpethistLeafHandlerashxn=PETamps=EMD EPD2DXLO PTE RlZ CPGampf=M)

FIi = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

FI2 = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

SAMPLE CALCULATION Assumptions TampD= $3677

CPI= 207845 CPI2 = 208261 FIi = 2661 FI2 = 2772

New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [70 x $3677 x (1 + (75 x ((208261shy207845)207845)))] + [30 X $3677x (29722661)] New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [$257776] + [$114911] = $3727

CALCULATION OF CPI AND FUEL INDEX ADJUSTMENTS TO CONTRACTORS RATE

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

(httpdatablsgovPDOservletSurveyOutputServletdata tool=dropmapampseries id=CUUR03 OOSAOCUUS0300SAO)

CPI= average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

CPI2 = average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

FI = Fuel Index is the Lower Atlantic (P ADD 1 C) No 2 Diesel Ultra Low Sulfur (0-15 ppm) Retail Sales by All Sellers (Cents per Gallon) US Department ofEnergy Energy Information Administration

(httptontoeiadoegovdnavpethistLeafHandlerashxn=PETamps=EMD EPD2DXLO PTE RlZ CPGampf=M)

FIi = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

FI2 = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

SAMPLE CALCULATION Assumptions TampD= $3677

CPI= 207845 CPI2 = 208261 FIi = 2661 FI2 = 2772

New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [70 x $3677 x (1 + (75 x ((208261shy207845)207845)))] + [30 X $3677x (29722661)] New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [$257776] + [$114911] = $3727

CALCULATION OF CPI AND FUEL INDEX ADJUSTMENTS TO CONTRACTORS RATE

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

(httpdatablsgovPDOservletSurveyOutputServletdata tool=dropmapampseries id=CUUR03 OOSAOCUUS0300SAO)

CPI= average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

CPI2 = average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

FI = Fuel Index is the Lower Atlantic (P ADD 1 C) No 2 Diesel Ultra Low Sulfur (0-15 ppm) Retail Sales by All Sellers (Cents per Gallon) US Department ofEnergy Energy Information Administration

(httptontoeiadoegovdnavpethistLeafHandlerashxn=PETamps=EMD EPD2DXLO PTE RlZ CPGampf=M)

FIi = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

FI2 = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

SAMPLE CALCULATION Assumptions TampD= $3677

CPI= 207845 CPI2 = 208261 FIi = 2661 FI2 = 2772

New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [70 x $3677 x (1 + (75 x ((208261shy207845)207845)))] + [30 X $3677x (29722661)] New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [$257776] + [$114911] = $3727

CALCULATION OF CPI AND FUEL INDEX ADJUSTMENTS TO CONTRACTORS RATE

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

(httpdatablsgovPDOservletSurveyOutputServletdata tool=dropmapampseries id=CUUR03 OOSAOCUUS0300SAO)

CPI= average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

CPI2 = average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

FI = Fuel Index is the Lower Atlantic (P ADD 1 C) No 2 Diesel Ultra Low Sulfur (0-15 ppm) Retail Sales by All Sellers (Cents per Gallon) US Department ofEnergy Energy Information Administration

(httptontoeiadoegovdnavpethistLeafHandlerashxn=PETamps=EMD EPD2DXLO PTE RlZ CPGampf=M)

FIi = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

FI2 = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

SAMPLE CALCULATION Assumptions TampD= $3677

CPI= 207845 CPI2 = 208261 FIi = 2661 FI2 = 2772

New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [70 x $3677 x (1 + (75 x ((208261shy207845)207845)))] + [30 X $3677x (29722661)] New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [$257776] + [$114911] = $3727

CALCULATION OF CPI AND FUEL INDEX ADJUSTMENTS TO CONTRACTORS RATE

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

(httpdatablsgovPDOservletSurveyOutputServletdata tool=dropmapampseries id=CUUR03 OOSAOCUUS0300SAO)

CPI= average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

CPI2 = average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

FI = Fuel Index is the Lower Atlantic (P ADD 1 C) No 2 Diesel Ultra Low Sulfur (0-15 ppm) Retail Sales by All Sellers (Cents per Gallon) US Department ofEnergy Energy Information Administration

(httptontoeiadoegovdnavpethistLeafHandlerashxn=PETamps=EMD EPD2DXLO PTE RlZ CPGampf=M)

FIi = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

FI2 = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

SAMPLE CALCULATION Assumptions TampD= $3677

CPI= 207845 CPI2 = 208261 FIi = 2661 FI2 = 2772

New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [70 x $3677 x (1 + (75 x ((208261shy207845)207845)))] + [30 X $3677x (29722661)] New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [$257776] + [$114911] = $3727

CALCULATION OF CPI AND FUEL INDEX ADJUSTMENTS TO CONTRACTORS RATE

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

(httpdatablsgovPDOservletSurveyOutputServletdata tool=dropmapampseries id=CUUR03 OOSAOCUUS0300SAO)

CPI= average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

CPI2 = average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

FI = Fuel Index is the Lower Atlantic (P ADD 1 C) No 2 Diesel Ultra Low Sulfur (0-15 ppm) Retail Sales by All Sellers (Cents per Gallon) US Department ofEnergy Energy Information Administration

(httptontoeiadoegovdnavpethistLeafHandlerashxn=PETamps=EMD EPD2DXLO PTE RlZ CPGampf=M)

FIi = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

FI2 = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

SAMPLE CALCULATION Assumptions TampD= $3677

CPI= 207845 CPI2 = 208261 FIi = 2661 FI2 = 2772

New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [70 x $3677 x (1 + (75 x ((208261shy207845)207845)))] + [30 X $3677x (29722661)] New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [$257776] + [$114911] = $3727

CALCULATION OF CPI AND FUEL INDEX ADJUSTMENTS TO CONTRACTORS RATE

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

(httpdatablsgovPDOservletSurveyOutputServletdata tool=dropmapampseries id=CUUR03 OOSAOCUUS0300SAO)

CPI= average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

CPI2 = average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

FI = Fuel Index is the Lower Atlantic (P ADD 1 C) No 2 Diesel Ultra Low Sulfur (0-15 ppm) Retail Sales by All Sellers (Cents per Gallon) US Department ofEnergy Energy Information Administration

(httptontoeiadoegovdnavpethistLeafHandlerashxn=PETamps=EMD EPD2DXLO PTE RlZ CPGampf=M)

FIi = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

FI2 = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

SAMPLE CALCULATION Assumptions TampD= $3677

CPI= 207845 CPI2 = 208261 FIi = 2661 FI2 = 2772

New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [70 x $3677 x (1 + (75 x ((208261shy207845)207845)))] + [30 X $3677x (29722661)] New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [$257776] + [$114911] = $3727

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

(httpdatablsgovPDOservletSurveyOutputServletdata tool=dropmapampseries id=CUUR03 OOSAOCUUS0300SAO)

CPI= average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

CPI2 = average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

FI = Fuel Index is the Lower Atlantic (P ADD 1 C) No 2 Diesel Ultra Low Sulfur (0-15 ppm) Retail Sales by All Sellers (Cents per Gallon) US Department ofEnergy Energy Information Administration

(httptontoeiadoegovdnavpethistLeafHandlerashxn=PETamps=EMD EPD2DXLO PTE RlZ CPGampf=M)

FIi = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

FI2 = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

SAMPLE CALCULATION Assumptions TampD= $3677

CPI= 207845 CPI2 = 208261 FIi = 2661 FI2 = 2772

New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [70 x $3677 x (1 + (75 x ((208261shy207845)207845)))] + [30 X $3677x (29722661)] New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [$257776] + [$114911] = $3727

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

CPI= average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

CPI2 = average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

FI = Fuel Index is the Lower Atlantic (P ADD 1 C) No 2 Diesel Ultra Low Sulfur (0-15 ppm) Retail Sales by All Sellers (Cents per Gallon) US Department ofEnergy Energy Information Administration

(httptontoeiadoegovdnavpethistLeafHandlerashxn=PETamps=EMD EPD2DXLO PTE RlZ CPGampf=M)

FIi = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

FI2 = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

SAMPLE CALCULATION Assumptions TampD= $3677

CPI= 207845 CPI2 = 208261 FIi = 2661 FI2 = 2772

CALCULATION OF CPI AND FUEL INDEX ADJUSTMENTS TO CONTRACTORS RATE

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

(httpdatablsgovPDOservletSurveyOutputServletdata tool=dropmapampseries id=CUUR03 OOSAOCUUS0300SAO)

CPI= average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

CPI2 = average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

FI = Fuel Index is the Lower Atlantic (P ADD 1 C) No 2 Diesel Ultra Low Sulfur (0-15 ppm) Retail Sales by All Sellers (Cents per Gallon) US Department ofEnergy Energy Information Administration

(httptontoeiadoegovdnavpethistLeafHandlerashxn=PETamps=EMD EPD2DXLO PTE RlZ CPGampf=M)

FIi = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

FI2 = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

SAMPLE CALCULATION Assumptions TampD= $3677

CPI= 207845 CPI2 = 208261 FIi = 2661 FI2 = 2772

New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [70 x $3677 x (1 + (75 x ((208261shy207845)207845)))] + [30 X $3677x (29722661)] New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [$257776] + [$114911] = $3727

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

(httpdatablsgovPDOservletSurveyOutputServletdata tool=dropmapampseries id=CUUR03 OOSAOCUUS0300SAO)

CPI= average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

CPI2 = average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

FI = Fuel Index is the Lower Atlantic (P ADD 1 C) No 2 Diesel Ultra Low Sulfur (0-15 ppm) Retail Sales by All Sellers (Cents per Gallon) US Department ofEnergy Energy Information Administration

(httptontoeiadoegovdnavpethistLeafHandlerashxn=PETamps=EMD EPD2DXLO PTE RlZ CPGampf=M)

FIi = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

FI2 = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

SAMPLE CALCULATION Assumptions TampD= $3677

CPI= 207845 CPI2 = 208261 FIi = 2661 FI2 = 2772

New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [70 x $3677 x (1 + (75 x ((208261shy207845)207845)))] + [30 X $3677x (29722661)] New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [$257776] + [$114911] = $3727

CALCULATION OF CPI AND FUEL INDEX ADJUSTMENTS TO CONTRACTORS RATE

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

(httpdatablsgovPDOservletSurveyOutputServletdata tool=dropmapampseries id=CUUR03 OOSAOCUUS0300SAO)

CPI= average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

CPI2 = average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

FI = Fuel Index is the Lower Atlantic (P ADD 1 C) No 2 Diesel Ultra Low Sulfur (0-15 ppm) Retail Sales by All Sellers (Cents per Gallon) US Department ofEnergy Energy Information Administration

(httptontoeiadoegovdnavpethistLeafHandlerashxn=PETamps=EMD EPD2DXLO PTE RlZ CPGampf=M)

FIi = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

FI2 = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

SAMPLE CALCULATION Assumptions TampD= $3677

CPI= 207845 CPI2 = 208261 FIi = 2661 FI2 = 2772

New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [70 x $3677 x (1 + (75 x ((208261shy207845)207845)))] + [30 X $3677x (29722661)] New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [$257776] + [$114911] = $3727

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

CPI= average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

CPI2 = average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

FI = Fuel Index is the Lower Atlantic (P ADD 1 C) No 2 Diesel Ultra Low Sulfur (0-15 ppm) Retail Sales by All Sellers (Cents per Gallon) US Department ofEnergy Energy Information Administration

CALCULATION OF CPI AND FUEL INDEX ADJUSTMENTS TO CONTRACTORS RATE

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

(httpdatablsgovPDOservletSurveyOutputServletdata tool=dropmapampseries id=CUUR03 OOSAOCUUS0300SAO)

CPI= average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

CPI2 = average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

FI = Fuel Index is the Lower Atlantic (P ADD 1 C) No 2 Diesel Ultra Low Sulfur (0-15 ppm) Retail Sales by All Sellers (Cents per Gallon) US Department ofEnergy Energy Information Administration

(httptontoeiadoegovdnavpethistLeafHandlerashxn=PETamps=EMD EPD2DXLO PTE RlZ CPGampf=M)

FIi = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

On October 1 2011 and October 1 of each subsequent Contract Year of this Agreement the CONTRACTORs base rates for Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation may be adjusted according to the following methodology seventy percent (70) of the rates shall be adjusted based on seventy-five percent (75) of the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th and thirty percent (30) of the rates shall be adjusted based on the percent change in the US Department of Energy Fuel Index for the previous twelve (12) months ending on the preceding June 30th The total rate adjustment each year may not exceed two percent (2) of the previous years rate

New Contractors Rate= [70 x TampD x (1 + (75 ((CPI2-CPI1)CPI1)))] + [30 x TampD x (FI2FI1)] Where

TampD= CONTRACTORs current rate for transfer and disposal

CPI= Consumer Price Index for the South Urban Region All Items - All Urban Consumers published by the United States Department ofLabor Department ofLabor Statistics

CPI= average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

CPI2 = average CPI for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

FI = Fuel Index is the Lower Atlantic (P ADD 1 C) No 2 Diesel Ultra Low Sulfur (0-15 ppm) Retail Sales by All Sellers (Cents per Gallon) US Department ofEnergy Energy Information Administration

(httptontoeiadoegovdnavpethistLeafHandlerashxn=PETamps=EMD EPD2DXLO PTE RlZ CPGampf=M)

FIi = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the previous year

FI2 = average Fuel Index for the 12 month period ending June 30 of the current year

SAMPLE CALCULATION Assumptions TampD= $3677

CPI= 207845 CPI2 = 208261 FIi = 2661 FI2 = 2772

New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [70 x $3677 x (1 + (75 x ((208261shy207845)207845)))] + [30 X $3677x (29722661)] New Solid Waste Transfer Station Operation Rate= [$257776] + [$114911] = $3727
