The original letters expired and the mitigation amounts needed to be adjusted to reflect the reductions in the natural resource impacts. Also, private banks no longer had credits available for the stream mitigation, so we secured credits through EEP. Please let us know if you need anything else. Thank you!

Salisbury St. Archdale Building, 9th floor Raleigh, NC 27604 Re Project: Novo Nordisk Central Parking Expansion This document confirms that Novo Nordisk Pharmaceutical Comvanv (Applicant) for the Novo Nordisk Central Parking Expansion (Project) has expressed an interest to utilize 11,193.00 Square Feet of Riparian Buffer Mitigation Credits from either of the EBX sponsored Banks: EBX Neuse Riparian Buffer Umbrella Mitigation Bank, EBX -EM Forrest Creek Riparian Buffer Mitigation Bank, or EBX Upper Neuse Riparian Buffer Umbrella Mitigation Bank. All of these bank sites are located in HUC 03020201. As the official Bank Sponsor, EBX, attests to the fact that mitigation is available for reservation at this time. These mitigation credits are not considered secured, and consequently are eligible to be used for alternate purposes by the Bank Sponsor, until payment in full is received from the Applicant resulting in the issuance of a Mitigation Credit Transfer Certificate by the bank acknowledging that the Applicant has fully secured credits from the bank and the Banker has accepted full responsibility for the mitigation obligation requiring the credits /units. The Banker will issue the Mitigation Credit Transfer Certificate within three (3) days of receipt of the purchase price. Banker shall provide to Applicant a copy of the Mitigation Credit Transfer Certificate and a documented copy of the debit of credits from the Bank Official Credit Ledger(s), indicating the permit number and the resource type secured by the applicant. A copy of the Mitigation Credit Transfer Certificate, with an updated Official Credit Ledger will also be sent to regulatory agencies showing the proper documentation.
