If as a result of the adoption of such laws, regulations, policies, or restrictions, or change in the interpretation or enforcement thereof, Buyer decides that it will be impossible or commercially impracticable (uneconomical) for Buyer to utilize such coal, Buyer shall so notify Seller, and thereupon Buyer and Seller shall promptly consider whether corrective actions can be taken in the mining and preparation of the coal at Seller's mine and/or in the handling and utilization of the coal at Buyer's generating station; and if in Buyer's judgment such actions will not, without unreasonable expense to Buyer, make it possible and commercially practicable for Buyer to so utilize coal which thereafter would be delivered hereunder without violating any applicable law, regulation, policy or order, Buyer shall have the right, upon the later of 60 days' notice to Seller or the effective date of such restriction, to terminate this Agreement without further obligation hereunder on the part of either party.

Environmental Force Majeure. As of the effective date of this Agreement, the Coal is or can currently be utilized at LWE's Plant in material compliance with all air pollution control and environmental laws, regulations, and requirements, as the same are currently enacted and/or promulgated. If any new environmental law is enacted or new regulation is promulgated and becomes effective during the Term of this Agreement that was not known as of the effective date, or reasonably should have been known as of the effective date, and if such new law or regulation has a material adverse effect on LWE's ability to utilize the Coal sold under this Agreement, then LWE shall promptly notify WBT in writing of the new environmental law or regulation. LWE shall undertake commercially reasonable efforts to change its operating procedures or equipment, or to utilize the coal at other affiliated facilities, in order to continue utilizing the maximum quantity of Coal within the existing Coal quality specifications. After all such efforts have been made, if LWE's ability to utilize said Coal of this quality at its Plant is reduced, then the reduction shall be allocated pro-rata across all multi-year coal agreements entered into prior to this Agreement; provided, however, that the quantity of WBT's Coal supplied to LWE shall not be reduced when LWE is accepting coals of typical quality to LWE's plant under any Coal agreement entered into subsequent to this Agreement. *Portion omitted pursuant to request for confidential treatment filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If by using the typical quality Coal LWE cannot materially comply with the new environmental laws and/or regulations, then LWE shall promptly notify WBT in writing of the new required Coal quality specifications. WBT shall consider and evaluate what steps can be reasonably taken in the mining and/or preparation of the Coal from the existing (primary) sources to meet the new Coal quality specifications. In the event the WBT can meet the new Coal quality specifications, WBT shall determine the increased costs, if any, anticipated by the WBT to be associated with meeting the new quality specifications. Based upon WBT's evaluation the parties shall have the following sequential options:
