Provided, however, such credits shall only be 20 allowed for fourteen years after the first taxable year in which such 21 credit is allowed. Provided further, however, the twenty-five percent 22 limitation in paragraph one of this subsection shall only apply to the 23 total aggregate amount of all payments to be made pursuant to an agree- 24 ment referenced in clause (ii) or (iii) of subparagraph (A) of this 25 paragraph, and shall not apply to individual payments made during a 26 taxable year under such agreement except to the extent such limitation 27 on an aggregate basis has been reached. 28 (3) Geothermal energy system equipment.
