If, upon taking evidence and hearing testimony, the court determines that the material allegations of the petition are true and that there has been compliance with the required notice provisions, the court shall enter an order determining the interest of each defendant in the coal land sought to be leased. The court shall also appoint a trustee for the purpose of executing in favor of the plaintiff a coal lease covering the interest of each defendant. The court's judgment appointing the trustee and authorizing the execution of the lease must specify the minimum terms that may be accepted by the trustee. Those terms must be substantially consistent with the terms of other similar coal leases obtained in the vicinity as determined by the court. The terms of the coal lease also must be substantially consistent with the terms of other existing leases, if any, covering the remaining coal interests in the land described in the petition.
