Common use of Emission Credits Clause in Contracts

Emission Credits. The Parties acknowledge that Off-Taker has applied to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (“TEPA”) for certain emission credits in respect of sulfur dioxide, oxides of nitrogen and particulates (collectively, “Credits”), and that upon the approval thereof by IEPA, a portion or the entirety of such Credits (as applicable) will be provided to and used by Provider, without additional consideration, so that Provider will comply with certain emission limits set forth in its “Permit to Install” in respect of the Plant (the “Installation Permit”). Accordingly, Off-Taker will make available to Provider all or a portion of such Credits, depending upon the number of such Credits that are approved by the IEPA and that are required for use by Provider, so that Provider is able to operate the Plant in accordance with such Installation Permit. As of the Effective Date, the Parties estimate that approximately two hundred thirty (230) tons of such SO2 Credits will be retained by Off-Taker. Such Credits will be provided by Off-Taker to Provider promptly upon the approval thereof by the I KPA. Provided, however, (i) in no event will Off-Taker be required to make available to Provider more Credits than are approved by the TFPA in the Off-Taker’s application for Credits, and (ii) in the event the IEPA provides Off-Taker with more Credits than are required by Provider to operate the Plant in accordance with the Installation Permit, the excess Credits will be retained by Off-Taker. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that Off-Taker will not be required to provide Provider with any such excess Credits in connection with any proposed amendment by Provider of the Installation Permit following its original issuance.
