Carbon Sequestration [continued] Sample Clauses

Carbon Sequestration [continued]. Deep well injection of CO2 is one of several promising technologies for stabilizing atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. It involves the capture and underground storage of CO2 from large emission sources such as power plants. To develop and research this technology, US DOE has selected seven regional partnerships nationwide. Region 5 is home to two of these partnerships, one of which, the Midwest Geological Sequestration Consortium (MGSC), is based in Illinois. The MGSC is working to assess the potential for geologic sequestration of CO2 in the Illinois Basin. The Illinois Basin underlies most of Illinois and extends into southwest Indiana and Northwest Kentucky. In Illinois, it comprises deeply buried unminable coal seams, depleted oil and gas reservoirs, and deep, brine-filled rock formations. It also comprises the Mt. Simon Sandstone formation which is anticipated to have major significance because of its very large expected capacity and its proximity to existing and planned coal-fired power plants. For these and other reasons, Illinois was to be the location of the nation’s first near zero-emissions fossil fuel fired power plant known as FutureGen, a federal initiative administered under the DOE and the FutureGen Alliance. The initial goal of FutureGen was to build the world's first integrated sequestration and hydrogen production research power plant. Final plans have yet to be finalized for this project, which was to be located in Illinois. While awaiting a final decision on whether to move forward with such a plant, the DOE restructured and expanded the goal to include other existing and proposed projects across the county. This expansion will involve an increased workload for the Illinois EPA as projects planned for Illinois get underway. Currently, there are already several CO2 injection projects in Illinois. The Illinois EPA recently permitted a Class I well for injection of supercritical carbon dioxide at the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Midland Facility in Decatur, Illinois. This project is partially DOE funded and will provide crucial information about the suitability of the Mt. Simon Sandstone for CO2 storage by injecting and monitoring one million metric tons of CO2 over three years. In view of the importance of the carbon sequestration effort to both Illinois and the nation, Region 5 will provide the Illinois EPA with real-time, technical collaboration during the permitting process for CO2 injection xxxxx. As such, The Illinois EPA should continue ...

  • Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings The Collateral Trust Agreement will provide that, if in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and prior to the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, the Priority Lien Secured Parties by an Act of Required Secured Parties shall desire to permit the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), or to permit any Issuer or any other Grantor to obtain financing, whether from the Priority Lien Secured Parties or any other Person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”) then each of the Junior Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties) and each Junior Lien Representative for itself and on behalf of the other Junior Lien Secured Parties represented by it, will raise no objection to such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing including any proposed orders for such Cash Collateral use and/ or DIP Financing which are acceptable to the Priority Lien Secured Parties) and to the extent the Liens securing the Priority Lien Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing, the Junior Collateral Trustee will subordinate its Junior Liens in the Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except, as expressly agreed by the Priority Lien Secured Parties or to the extent permitted as described below under this caption “—Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings”. No Junior Lien Secured Party may provide DIP Financing to either of the Issuers or any other Grantor secured by Liens equal or senior in priority to the Liens securing any Priority Lien Obligations and no such DIP Financing shall “roll-up” or otherwise include or refinance any pre-petition Junior Lien Obligations. Each of the Junior Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties) and the Junior Lien Representative on behalf itself and the other Junior Lien Secured Parties will raise no objection to or oppose a motion to sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if the requisite Priority Lien Secured Parties have consented to such sale, liquidation or other disposition; provided that, to the extent such sale, liquidation or other disposition is to be free and clear of Liens, the Liens securing the Priority Lien Obligations and the Junior Lien Obligations will attach to the proceeds of the sale, liquidation or other disposition on the same basis of priority as the Liens on the Collateral securing the Priority Lien Obligations rank to the Liens on the Collateral securing the Junior Lien Obligations pursuant to the Collateral Trust Agreement. Each of the Junior Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties) and the Junior Lien Representative on behalf of itself and the other Junior Lien Secured Parties will not directly or indirectly oppose or impede entry of any order in connection with such sale, liquidation or other disposition, including orders to retain professionals or set bid procedures in connection with such sale, liquidation or disposition if the requisite Priority Lien Secured Parties have consented to such (i) retention of professionals and bid procedures in connection with such sale, liquidation or disposition of such assets and (ii) the sale, liquidation or disposition of such assets, in which event the Junior Lien Secured Parties will be deemed to have consented to the sale or disposition of Collateral pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code and such motion does not impair the rights of the Junior Lien Secured Parties under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Collateral Trust Agreement will provide that until the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations has occurred, none of the Junior Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties) and the Junior Lien Representative, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior Lien Secured Parties, shall: (i) seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Priority Lien Secured Parties or a Priority Lien Representative, through an Act of Required Secured Parties as specified in clause (i) of the definition thereof, unless a motion for adequate protection permitted under this caption “—Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings” has been denied by a bankruptcy court or (ii) oppose (or support any other Person in opposing) any request by the Priority Lien Secured Parties for relief from such stay. The Collateral Trust Agreement will provide that none of the Junior Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties) and the Junior Lien Representative, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior Lien Secured Parties shall contest (or support any other Person contesting): (1) any request by the Priority Lien Representatives or the Priority Lien Secured Parties for adequate protection under any Bankruptcy Law; or (2) any objection by the Priority Lien Representatives or the Priority Lien Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Priority Lien Secured Parties claiming a lack of adequate protection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding: (1) if the Priority Lien Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral or superpriority claims in connection with any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing, then the Junior Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties) or Junior Lien Representative, on behalf of itself or any of the other Junior Lien Secured Parties represented by it, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral or superpriority claim, (A) which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the Priority Lien Obligations and such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Junior Lien Obligations are so subordinated to the Priority Lien Obligations under the Collateral Trust Agreement and (B) which superpriority claim will be subordinated to all superpriority claims of the Priority Lien Secured Parties on the same basis as the other claims of the Junior Lien Secured Parties are so subordinated to the claims of the Priority Lien Secured Parties under the Collateral Trust Agreement; and (2) each of the Junior Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties), the Junior Lien Representatives and the Junior Lien Secured Parties shall only be permitted to seek adequate protection with respect to their rights in the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in the form of (A) additional collateral; provided that as adequate protection for the Priority Lien Obligations, the Priority Collateral Trustee, on behalf of the Priority Lien Secured Parties, is also granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral; (B) replacement Liens on the Collateral; provided that as adequate protection for the Priority Lien Obligations, the Priority Collateral Trustee, on behalf of the Priority Lien Secured Parties, is also granted senior replacement Liens on the Collateral; and (C) an administrative expense claim; provided that as adequate protection for the Priority Lien Obligations, the Priority Collateral Trustee, on behalf of the Priority Lien Secured Parties, is also granted an administrative expense claim which is senior and prior to the administrative expense claim of the Junior Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties) and each Junior Lien Representative on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties represented by it. If any Junior Lien Secured Party receives post-petition interest and/or adequate protection payments in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (“Junior Lien Adequate Protection Payments”), and the Priority Lien Secured Parties do not receive payment in full in cash of all Priority Lien Obligations upon the effectiveness of the plan of reorganization for, or conclusion of, that Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, then, each Junior Lien Secured Party shall pay over to the Priority Lien Secured Party an amount (the “Pay-Over Amount”) equal to the lesser of (i) the Junior Lien Adequate Protection Payments received by such Junior Lien Secured Parties and (ii) the amount of the short-fall (the “Short Fall”) in payment in full of the Priority Lien Obligations; provided that to the extent any portion of the Short Fall represents payments received by the Priority Lien Secured Parties in the form of promissory notes, equity or other property, equal in value to the cash paid in respect of the Pay-Over Amount, the Priority Lien Secured Parties shall, upon receipt of the Pay-Over Amount, transfer those promissory notes, equity or other property, pro rata, equal in value to the cash paid in respect of the Pay-Over Amount to the applicable Junior Lien Secured Parties in exchange for the Pay-Over Amount. Notwithstanding anything in the Collateral Trust Agreement to the contrary, the Priority Lien Secured Parties shall not be deemed to have consented to, and expressly retain their rights to object to the grant of adequate protection in the form of cash payments to the Junior Lien Secured Parties made pursuant to this paragraph. Nothing in the Collateral Trust Agreement, except as expressly provided therein, will prohibit or in any way limit any Priority Lien Representative or any Priority Lien Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Junior Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties), the Junior Lien Representative or any of the other Junior Lien Secured Parties, including the seeking by the Junior Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties), the Junior Lien Representative or any of the other Junior Lien Secured Parties of adequate protection or the asserting by the Junior Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties), the Junior Lien Representative or any of the other Junior Lien Secured Parties of any of its rights and remedies under the Junior Lien Documents or otherwise. The Collateral Trust Agreement will provide that if any Priority Lien Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Issuer or any other Grantor any amount paid in respect of Priority Lien Obligations (a “Recovery”), then such Priority Lien Secured Party shall be entitled to a reinstatement of Priority Lien Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts on the date of such Recovery, and from and after the date of such reinstatement the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations shall be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes hereunder. If the Collateral Trust Agreement is terminated prior to such Recovery, the Collateral Trust Agreement will be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. The Collateral Trust Agreement will provide that the grants of Liens pursuant to the Priority Lien Security Documents and the Junior Lien Security Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens; and because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Junior Lien Obligations are fundamentally different from the Priority Lien Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. If it is held that the claims of the Priority Lien Secured Parties and the Junior Lien Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then all distributions will be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Junior Lien Secured Parties), the Priority Lien Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing (or that would be owing if there were such separate classes of senior and junior secured claims) in respect of post-petition interest, including any additional interest payable pursuant to the Priority Lien Documents, arising from or related to a default, which is disallowed as a claim in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Junior Lien Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral, and the Junior Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties) or each Junior Lien Representative, as applicable, for itself and on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties for whom it acts as representative, will turn over to the Priority Collateral Trustee for application in accordance with the Collateral Trust Agreement, Collateral or proceeds of Collateral otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Junior Lien Secured Parties). The Collateral Trust Agreement will provide that, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, each Junior Lien Representative and the Junior Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of each other Junior Lien Secured Party represented by it, agrees that none of such Junior Lien Representative or the Junior Collateral Trustee, the Junior Lien Secured Parties represented by it or any agent or trustee on behalf of any of them shall, during any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, support, endorse, propose or submit, whether directly or indirectly, any plan of reorganization that provides for the impairment of repayment of the Priority Lien Obligations (with impairment to be determined under Section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code) unless (i) the Priority Lien Secured Parties or the Priority Lien Representative, in each case, through an Act of Required Secured Parties as specified in clause (i) of the definition thereof shall have consented to such plan in writing or (ii) such plan of reorganization provides for the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations (including all post-petition interest, fees and expenses) on the effective date of such plan of reorganization or liquidation, as applicable. Without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Trust Agreement provides that if, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of Priority Lien Obligations and on account of Junior Lien Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Priority Lien Obligations and on account of the Junior Lien Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of the Collateral Trust Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations. The Collateral Trust Agreement will be a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, which will be effective before, during and after the commencement of an insolvency proceeding. All references in the Collateral Trust Agreement to any Grantor will include such Person as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Person in an insolvency proceeding.
