The following only applies if Terraformation arranges sponsorship or provides a Product to you: In consideration for any services or Products provided by Terraformation to you, Terraformation has, and is hereby granted, a right of first refusal with respect to any carbon credits, biodiversity credits or similar offerings of Applicant or any of its affiliates (“Carbon Transaction”).

This section survives any termination of this Agreement.
