EXHIBIT "B"
PROCEDURES FOR REJECTING NON-CONFORMING MATERIAL
1. When St. Lucie decides whether to accept or reject Recyclable Material that has
been delivered to the Facility by Indian River, St. Lucie shall use the same criteria that
St. Lucie uses when it decides whether to accept or reject Recyclable Material delivered
to the Facility by other persons. Stated differently, St. Lucie shall not discriminate
against Indian River when accepting or rejecting Recyclable Material.
2. St. Lucie shall have the right to reject any item, material, Load, or partial Load
that Indian River tenders to St. Lucie at the Facility if St. Lucie believes the item,
material, Load, or partial Load is solid waste, hazardous waste, biomedical waste, or
other type of Non-Conforming Material that St. Lucie cannot safely, lawfully, or
efficiently process at its Facility. If St. Lucie rejects any Non-Conforming Material
delivered by Indian River, Indian River shall remove it from the Facility.
3. Subject to the conditions in the Agreement and this Exhibit "B," St. Lucie shall
have the right to reject any Load of material tendered by Indian River at the Facility if St.
Lucie determines that the Load contains an Excessive Amount of Non-Conforming
Material. Excessive Amount means, solely with regard to Loads of material delivered to
the Facility pursuant to this Agreement, that 25% or more of the Load is comprised of
Non-Conforming Material. The 25% threshold may be based on volume or weight, as
St. Lucie deems appropriate under the circumstances. When determining whether the
Load exceeds this threshold, St. Lucie may rely on a visual observation and good faith
estimate concerning the volume or weight of the Non-Conforming Material. At its
option, St. Lucie may weigh or measure the Non-Conforming Material in the Load, but
St. Lucie is not obligated to do so.
4. If St. Lucie decides to reject a Load of Recyclable Material that has been
delivered to the Facility by Indian River, St. Lucie shall: (a) isolate the Load at the
Facility; (b) take several representative photographs of the Load from different
perspectives; and (c) send the photographs to Indian River via electronic mail ("e-mail"),
which shall include a statement notifying Indian River that St. Lucie intends to reject the
Load depicted in the photographs. For the purposes of this Exhibit "B", St. Lucie's e-
mail shall be addressed to the Manager of Indian River's Solid Waste Department, and
a copy shall be addressed to the Manager's designee.
5. Indian River shall confirm receipt of the rejection email and promptly respond to
the e-mail from St. Lucie. More specifically, Indian River shall state that: (a) Indian
River accepts St. Lucie's determination, in which case St. Lucie may immediately reject
the Load; or (b) Indian River objects to St. Lucie's determination, in which case Indian
River shall have the right to physically inspect the Load before St. Lucie makes any final
determination concerning the disposition of the material, provided that Indian River
conducts its inspection in compliance with the timeframes set forth in this Section 5. If
St. Lucie provides notice to Indian River before 12:00 p.m. (noon) on a weekday, Indian
Page 12 of 16
River must conduct its inspection before 5:00 p.m. on that same weekday. If St. Lucie
provides notice to Indian River after 12:00 p.m. (noon) on a weekday, Indian River must
conduct its inspection before 12:00 p.m. (noon) on the next day that the Facility is open
for business. If St. Lucie provides notice to Indian River on a Saturday, Indian River
must conduct its inspection before 12:00 p.m. (noon) on the next day that the Facility is
open for business. St. Lucie may reject the Load if Indian River fails to respond to St.
Lucie's e-mail within four (4) business hours or fails to inspect the Load within the
timeframes described in this Section 5.
6. If Indian River's Manager or designee inspects the Load and disagrees with St.
Lucie's determination, the representatives of Indian River and St. Lucie shall work
together in good faith and thereby attempt to resolve their differences informally. In
such cases, St. Lucie shall be bound by the requirements contained herein, including
but not limited to the 25% threshold for Excessive Amounts of Non-Conforming Material,
but St. Lucie shall retain the exclusive authority to decide whether it will accept or reject
the Load at its Facility.

EXHIBIT "C"
PROCEDURES FOR REVENUE SHARING
Segregated Loads of OCC
1 . If Indian River delivers segregated Loads of Old Corrugated Cardboard ("OCC")
to St. Lucie's Facility on or after October 1, 2026. St. Lucie and Indian River shall share
the revenues derived from the sale of that OCC. subject to the conditions contained in
the Agreement and this Exhibit "C."
2. The weight of Indian River's OCC shall be determined by weighing the OCC
when it arrives at St. Lucie's Facility. If the scales at St. Lucie's Facility are not operating
and Indian River did not record the weight of the OCC. the weight of the OCC shall be
estimated by St. Lucie. based on the average weight of the Indian River's prior
deliveries of segregated Loads of OCC.
Program Materials
3. If Indian River delivers Program Materials to the St. Lucie's Facility on or after
October 1 . 2026. St. Lucie and the Indian River shall share the revenues derived from
the sale of those Program Materials. subject to the conditions contained in the
Agreement and this Exhibit "C." The general provisions in Section 2 above, shall apply
when determining the weight of the Program Materials.
Billing Procedures
4. St. Lucie shall prepare an audited, public-facing annual report for the prior fiscal
year ending September 30''' and provide this report to Indian River by October 30th. The
report shall outline all revenue received and all operating and maintenance expenses
incurred from the processing and sales of Program Materials and segregated OCC. A
sample report is provided in Exhibit D, however. a different format may be used. If the
report shows that revenue exceeded expenses, St. Lucie and Indian River shall share in
the net revenue (profit). as described in Section 5. below.
5. St. Lucie shall receive one-half (50%) of the net revenue. Indian River shall
receive part or all of the remaining one-half (50%) of the net revenue, subject to the
following provisions of this Section 5. Indian River's share of net revenue shall be
proportional to the percentage of the total tonnage of Program Materials and segregated
OCC delivered by the Indian River in relation to the total tonnage of such materials
received by St. Lucie from all sources during the applicable fiscal year. St. Lucie shall
include a summary of these percentage calculations in the annual report. The formula
for calculating profit sharing shall be as follows:
Indian River Share = (Indian River Tons ± Total Tons) x 50% x Net Revenue.
Page 14 of 16
For example, if, during a given fiscal year, Indian River delivers 6,000 tons of Program
Materials and segregated OCC to St. Lucie, and the total combined tonnage from all
sources is 10,000 tons, then Indian River's portion would be 60% of the total tonnage. If
the net revenue for that fiscal year is $200,000, Indian River's share would be: (6,000 =
10,000) x 50% x $200,000 = $60,000.
6. St. Lucie shall provide Indian River with a summary statement of its annual report
and shall make available any supporting public records upon request. Payment to
Indian River shall be made within thirty (30) days after the completion of the report.
