d. Additional Government Share
After the Recovery Period, the Contractor shall pay an Additional Government Share if the Basic Government Share is less than fifty percent (50%) of the Net Mining Revenue.
This Additional Government Share shall be the difference of the fifty (50) percent of the Net Mining Revenue and the Basic Government Share during the Calendar Year.
SECTION 5. Sales of Minerals or Mineral Products. —
a Sales and Exportation of Minerals or Mineral Products. — The Contractor shall endeavor to dispose the minerals and by-products produced in the Contract Area at the highest commercially achievable market price and lowest commercially achievable commissions and related fees under circumstances then prevailing, and to negotiate for sales terms and conditions compatible with world market conditions. The Contractor may enter into long-term sales and marketing contracts or foreign exchange and commodity hedging contracts for its minerals or mineral products.
The Contractor shall inform the Government when it enters into a marketing agreement or sales contract with foreign and local buyers. Marketing contracts and sales agreements involving commercial disposition of minerals and by-products shall be subject for approval by the Secretary upon recommendation of the Director: Provided further, that approved marketing contracts and sales agreements shall be registered with the Mines and Geosciences Bureau, and shall be treated with confidentiality between the Government and the Contractor.
The Government shall examine all sales and exportation of minerals or mineral products including the terms and conditions of all sales commitments.
Sales commitments with affiliates, if any, shall be made only at prices based on or equivalent to arms length sales and in accordance with such terms and conditions at which such agreement would be made if the parties had not been affiliated, with due allowance for normal selling discounts or commissions. Such discounts or commissions allowed the affiliates must be no greater than the prevailing rate so that such discounts or commissions will not reduce the net proceeds of sales to the Contractor below those which it would have received if the parties had not been affiliated. The Contractor shall, subject to confidentiality clause of the FTAA, submit to the Government evidence of the correctness of the figures used in computing the prices, discounts and commissions, and a copy of the sales contract.
For purposes of this clause, an affiliate or an affiliated company means:
(1) any company in which the Contractor holds fifty percent (50%) or more of the shares;
(2) any company which holds fifty percent (50%) or more of the Contractors shares;
(3) any company affiliated by the same definition in (1) or (2) to an affiliated company of the Contractor is itself considered an affiliated company for purposes of the FTAA; ITaCEc

(5) any shareholder or group of shareholders of the Contractor or of an affiliated company; or
(6) any individual or group of individuals in the employment of the Contractor or of any affiliated company.
Control means the power exercisable, directly or indirectly, to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a company exercised by any other company and shall include the right to exercise control or power to acquire control directly or indirectly, over the company's affairs and the power to acquire not less than fifty percent (50%) of the share capital or voting power of the Contractor. For this purpose, a creditor who lends, directly or indirectly, to the Contractor, unless he has lent money to the Contractor in the ordinary course of money-lending business, may be deemed to be a Person with power to acquire not less than fifty percent (50%) of the share capital or voting power of the Contractor if the amount of the total of its loan is not less than fifty percent (50%) of the total loan capital of the company.
If a person ("x") would not be an affiliate or an affiliated company ("y") on the basis of the above definition but would be an affiliate if each reference in that definition to "fifty percent (50%)" was read as a reference to "forty percent (40%)" and the Government has reasonable grounds for believing that "x" otherwise controls "y" or "x" is otherwise controlled by "y", then, upon the Contractor being notified in writing by the Government of that belief and the grounds therefore, "x" and "y" shall be deemed to be affiliates unless the Contractor is able to produce reasonable evidence to the contrary.
b. Price or Cost Transfers. — The Contractor commits itself not to engage in transactions involving price or cost transfers in the sale of its minerals or mineral products and in the purchase of input goods and services resulting either in the illegitimate loss or reduction of Government Share or illegitimate increase in Contractors share. If the Contractor engages affiliates or an affiliated company in the sale of its mineral products or in providing goods services, loans or other forms of financing hereunder, it shall do so on terms no less than would be the case with unrelated persons in arms-length transactions.
c. Documentary Proof of Payment. — The Contractor shall furnish the Mines and Geosciences Bureau with documentary proof of final payment of each and every mineral sale it undertakes not later than seven (7) days upon receipt of its payment from such sales. The documentary proof shall contain information on the F.O.B. gross value of the sales; the particular deductions applied on the sales, initial payments received; if any, and the final net sales value in the denomination of the payment received and its equivalent in Philippine Peso at the time the Contractor received the payment.
SECTION 6. Payment of Government Share. —
a. Occupation Fees. — Prior to or upon registration of the FTAA and on the same date every year thereafter, the Contractor shall pay to the concerned Treasurer of the municipality(ies) or city(ies) the required Occupation Fee over the Contract Area at the rate provided for by existing laws, rules and regulations.
b. Government Taxes, Royalties and Other Fees. — The Contractor shall promptly pay all the taxes and fees required by the Government in carrying out the activities covered in the FTAA and in such amount, venue, procedure and time as stipulated by the particular law and implementing rules and regulations governing such taxes and fees, subject to all rights of objection or review as provided for in relevant laws, rules and regulations. In the case of non-payment of certain taxes and fees during the Recovery Period, the Contractor shall follow the prevailing procedures for availing non-payment in accordance with pertinent laws, rules and regulations. Where prevailing orders, rules and regulations do not fully recognize and implement the provisions covered by Section 4 of this Order, the Government shall exert its best efforts to ensure that all such orders, rules and regulations are revised or modified accordingly.
c. Additional Government Share. — Payment of the Additional Government Share shall commence after the Recovery Period. The Additional Government Share shall be computed and filed by the Contractor using the procedure in Annex 1 and filed in a form using Annex 2 of this Order. The amount shall be paid to the Mines and Geosciences Bureau within thirty (30) days after the filing and payment date of the final income tax return to the Bureau of Internal Revenue. The Mines and Geosciences Bureau shall conduct a post-audit of the payment and shall notify the Contractor of any deficiency in its payment of Additional Government Share.
For the purpose of determining the amount of Additional Government Share, the Contractor shall furnish the Director certified true copies of receipts of all of its payments of taxes, royalties and fees comprising the Basic Government Share during the Calendar Year, including its income tax returns, not later than fifteen (15) days after the date of its filing.
Late filing and payment of the Additional Government Share shall be subject to the same penalties applicable to late filing of income tax returns. Non-settlement of deficiencies in the payment of Additional Government Share within thirty (30) days from receipt of notice shall be a ground for withholding the issuance of Ore Transport Permits and/or suspension or cancellation of the FTAA. The appropriate penalties and fines for income tax returns shall be applied to non-complying Contractors for this offense.

ANNEX 1
STEPWISE PROCEDURE IN DETERMINING THE ADDITIONAL GOVERNMENT SHARE DURING A CALENDAR YEAR
The following procedure shall be used in determining the Additional Government Share during any calendar year:
Step 1 — Determine the Total Gross Output of the Contractor during the calendar year in accordance with the National Internal Revenue Code. The basis for the Total Gross Output shall be the documentary proofs of final payments submitted under oath by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Contractor which are subject to audit by the Government or its designated Auditors.
Step 2 — Determine the Total Deductible Expenses incurred by the Contractor during the calendar year based on Clause c of Section 4 of this Order. The basis the Total Deductible Expenses shall be the audited report of Deductible Expenses submitted under oath by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Contractor subject to audit by the Government or its designated Auditors.
Step 3 — Calculate the Net Mining Revenue as follows:
Net Mining Revenue = Total Gross Output less Total Deductible Expenses
Step 4 — Calculate the Total Government Share as follows:
Step 5 — Determine the Basic Government Share from the total taxes, fees and royalties paid by the Contractor during the calendar year based on Clause b(1) of Section 4 of this Order. The basis of the Basic Government Share shall be the certified true copies of receipts of payments made by the Contractor during the calendar year for taxes, royalties and fees.
Step 6 — Calculate the Additional Government Share as follows:
If the Basic Government Share is less than Total Government Share, then:
Additional Government Share = Total Government Share less Basic Government Share
