    Upon termination of any contract, payments in excess of $10 may be 
refunded, less the costs incurred by the United States, under any of the 
following conditions:
    (a) Payment in excess of value. If the total payment exceeds the 
value of the mineral material removed, unless it is the minimum annual 
payment in lieu of production;
    (b) Insufficiency of material. If insufficient mineral material 
existed in the sale area to provide the quantity of material estimated 
to have been available;
    (c) Termination. (1) If the contract is terminated by the authorized 
officer for reasons which are beyond the purchaser's control; or
    (2) If the contract is terminated by mutual agreement. This refund 
provision is not a warranty that a specific quantity of material exists 
in the sale area.
