The period for energy saving service by Party A hasn’t reached 10 years yet, however, due to unforeseeable state policy changes that a series of new regulations to reduce and restrict coke production of Party B by local government for energy conservation and emission reduction purposes have caused insufficient coke-oven gas supply for the power generation project and the power production has decreased.

After Party B pays off the entire transfer price according to the timeline in Article 4 of this Agreement, Party A agrees that it will not take any action against Party B for its breach of the Contract according to its Article 7.
