This excerpt taken from the ACI 10-K filed Mar 1, 2010.
Disruptions in the quantities of coal produced by our contract mine operators or purchased from other third parties could temporarily impair our ability to fill customer orders or increase our operating costs.
 
We use independent contractors to mine coal at certain of our mining complexes, including select operations at our Coal-Mac and Cumberland River mining complexes. In addition, we purchase coal from third parties that we sell to our customers. Operational difficulties at contractor-operated mines or mines operated by third parties from whom we purchase coal, changes in demand for contract miners from other coal producers and other factors beyond our control could affect the availability, pricing, and quality of coal produced for or purchased by us. Disruptions in the quantities of coal produced for or purchased by us could impair our ability to fill our customer orders or require us to purchase coal from other sources in order to satisfy those orders. If we are unable to fill a customer order or if we are required to purchase coal from other sources in order to satisfy a customer order, we could lose existing customers and our operating costs could increase.

We use independent contractors to mine coal at certain of our
mining complexes, including select operations at our Coal-Mac
and Cumberland River mining complexes. In addition, we purchase
coal from third parties that we sell to our customers.
Operational difficulties at contractor-operated mines or mines
operated by third parties from whom we purchase coal, changes in
demand for contract miners from other coal producers and other
factors beyond our control could affect the availability,
pricing, and quality of coal produced for or purchased by
us. Disruptions in the quantities of coal produced for or
purchased by us could impair our ability to fill our customer
orders or require us to purchase coal from other sources in
order to satisfy those orders. If we are unable to fill a
customer order or if we are required to purchase coal from other
sources in order to satisfy a customer order, we could lose
existing customers and our operating costs could increase.
