(2) on or after the July 1, 1997, the refiner has voluntarily committed by agreement entered into with the commissioner that, if the refiner expands its oil refining capacity in order to produce additional supplies of fuel for use in jet propulsion aircraft that qualify for the tax exemption, when the refiner expands capacity, the refiner will
