(d) Terms
(d)(i) Physical Settlement
(d)(i)(1) Settlement
- (A) Allowance Forward Transactions:
- on the Payment Date, Buyer must pay Seller Allowance Purchase Price x Number of Allowances
- on the Delivery Date Seller must deliver to Buyer Allowances to be Delivered.
- (B) Allowance Option Transaction: for each Exercise Date:
- on the Payment Date Receiving Party must pay Allowance Strike Price x Allowances to be Delivered
- on the Delivery Date Delivering Party must deliver Allowances to be Delivered.
(d)(i)(2) Delivery
- (A) Delivering Party will deliver Allowances under a Transaction by transferring them from its Holding Account in accordance with the Scheme into the Receiving Party’s Specified Holding Account.
- (B) If Delivering Party has specified a Specified Holding Account for the Transaction, its obligation is limited to delivering from that Specified Holding Account to the Receiving Party’s Specified Holding Account.
- (C) A Receiving Party with multiple Specified Holding Accounts will specified them in order of preference. Delivering Party must try to deliver to the first one, unless a Settlement Disruption Event or a Suspension Event affects that Specified Holding Account, in which case it must try the next one, and so on.
- (D) Allowances transferred after 4:00 p.m., Central European Time, on a Delivery Business Day or on a non-Delivery Business Day, will be deemed delivered at 10:00 a.m. CET on the next Delivery Business Day. Allowances transferred before 10:00 a.m. CET, on a Delivery Business Day, will be deemed to have been delivered at 10:00 a.m., CET, on that day.
(d)(i)(3) Netting
If on any date parties would otherwise be due to deliver fungible Allowances to each other (and between the same pair of Holding Accounts) under separate Transactions then, on such date, parties’ respective delivery obligations will be automatically satisfied and discharged replaced by an obligation upon the party having the larger deliverable obligation to deliver the excess of its delivery obligation over the other party’s delivery obligation.
(d)(i)(4) Settlement Disruption Event
- (A) Notification: Either party may notify the other party in writing of a Settlement Disruption Event and the impacted Transactions. If it is the affected party, it must also give details of the Settlement Disruption Event and a non-binding estimate of the extent and likely duration of the disruption on its obligations.
- (B) Effect: Upon a Settlement Disruption Event both parties’ obligations will be suspended, subject to Continuing Settlement Disruption Event below, until the Settlement Disruption Event no longer prevents settlement. During the Settlement Disruption Event, the affected party must use all reasonable endeavours to settle.
- (C) Delayed Performance: Subject to Continuing Settlement Disruption Event below, once the Settlement Disruption Event no longer prevents settlement, both parties must, promptly and within two Delivery Business Days, resume their obligations under the Transactions.
- (D) Continuing Settlement Disruption Event: Where a Settlement Disruption Event continues:
- (I) for 9 Delivery Business Days after the originally scheduled Delivery Date; or, if shorter:
- (II) until a Reconciliation Deadline falling on or after the original Delivery Date; or, if shorter:
- (III) until the day 3 Delivery Business Days before the End of Phase Reconciliation Deadline falling on or after the original Delivery Date:
- then at that time there will be an Illegality where the affected Transaction is the sole Affected Transaction, both parties are Affected Parties, there is no Waiting Period and, if an Early Termination Date results, when determining the Early Termination Amount the suspended obligations will resume on the Early Termination Date, if “Payment on Termination for Settlement Disruption” applies, and if it does not the parties will have no further obligations after the Settlement Disruption Event other than for Unpaid Amounts and provided that (other than in respect of already-delivered Allowances)
- (i) Delivering Party must promptly refund any amount Receiving Party it was paid under a Allowance Forward Transaction or Call; and
- (ii) Receiving Party must promptly refund any amount Delivering Party it was paid under a Put
- together with interest from the payment date until the termination date of the Transaction at the overnight deposit rate for the relevant currency.
(d)(i)(5) Suspension Event
- (A) Notification: A party impacted by a Suspension Event must notify the other party in writing as soon as reasonably practicable. It must also give what details of the Suspension Event it has and a non-binding estimate of the extent and expected duration of its resultant inability to perform.

- (C) Delayed Performance: Subject to Continuing Suspension Event below, once the Suspension Event ceases, both parties must promptly resume their obligations under the Transactions by the earlier of: (i) ten Delivery Business Days after the Suspension Event lifts; and (ii) 3 Delivery Business Days before the End of Phase Reconciliation Deadline (the “Delayed Delivery Date”). If Delivering Party has successfully delivered the Allowances to be Delivered by the Delayed Delivery Date, Receiving Party must pay Delivering Party, on the Delayed Payment Date:
- (I) Allowance Forward Transactions: (Allowance Purchase Price x Number of Allowances delivered by the Delayed Delivery Date) + Cost of Carry Amount;
- (II) Allowance Option Transactions: (Allowance Strike Price x Number of Allowances delivered by the Delayed Delivery Date) + Cost of Carry Amount.
- (D) Continuing Suspension Event: Where a Suspension Event continues on the Long-Stop Date, then there will be an Illegality where the Transaction is the sole Affected Transaction, both parties are Affected Parties,no Waiting Period will apply and the Long-Stop Date will be the Early Termination Date. When determining the Early Termination Amount, if “Payment on Termination for Suspension” applies, the suspended obligations will resume on the Early Termination Date, and if it does not, the parties will have no further obligations after the Suspension Event (other than for any Unpaid Amounts); provided that:
- (i) Delivering Party must promptly refund any amount Receiving Party paid it under any Allowance Forward Transaction or Call; and
- (ii) Receiving Party must promptly refund any amount Delivering Party paid it under a Put
- that was not paid for delivered Allowances, together with interest from the payment date until the Transaction termination date at the relevant overnight deposit rate.
(d)(ii) Failure to Deliver.
(d)(ii)(1) Failure to Deliver by Delivering Party
If Delivering Party fails to deliver other than due to Receiving Party’s breach of Scheme Requirements, Illegality, a Settlement Disruption Event, a Suspension Event or Abandonment of Scheme, the Payment Date will be postponed, Receiving Party may give notice requiring Delivering Party to remedy the failure and:
- (A) Failure to Deliver Remedied: If Delivering Party remedies the failure by the Final Delivery Date:
- (X) when determining the Payment Date, the Delivery Date will be the date of actual delivery:
- (i) Allowance Forward Transactions: Receiving Party must pay Allowance Purchase Price x Number of Allowances on the Payment Date
- (ii) Allowance Option Transactions: Receiving Party must pay Allowance Strike Price x number of Allowances to be Delivered on the Payment Date; and
- (Y) On the same Payment Date, Delivering Party must pay interest at the Default Rate on number of undelivered Allowances on the Delivery Date x relevant Allowance Purchase Price/Allowance Strike Price from the original Delivery Date to the actual delivery date .
- (B) Failure to Deliver Not Remedied: If the failure is not remedied:
- (X) No Excess Emissions Penalty: If “Excess Emissions Penalty” does not apply, or the Delivery Date falls outside the EEP Risk Period, Receiving Party may by notice terminate the parties’ “Physical Settlement” obligations and Delivering Party must pay Receiving Party’s Replacement Cost (if positive) on the next Business Day, adjusted for any amounts it has already paid to Delivering Party (other than Premium on Allowance Option Transactions); or
- (Y) Excess Emissions Penalty applies: If “Excess Emissions Penalty” applies and the Delivery Date falls within any specified EEP Risk Period, Receiving Party may by notice terminate the parties’ “Physical Settlement” obligations and Delivering Party must pay Receiving Party’s Replacement Cost (if positive, and where it applies) on the Business Day after Receiving Party can effect a Buy-In, or otherwise purchase Allowances, adjusted to account for amounts it has previously paid (other than Premium on Allowance Option Transactions); or
- (Z) Failure to Deliver (Alternative Method): If “Failure to Deliver (Alternative Method)” applies:
- (aa) on the next Business Day Delivering Party must pay Receiving Party’s Replacement Cost (if positive), adjusted to account for amounts previously paid (other than Premium on Allowance Option Transactions), and upon payment, Delivering Party’s delivery obligation will be fully discharged; and
- (bb) if “Excess Emissions Penalty” applies, Delivering Party must pay any amount determined under “Failure to Deliver (Alternative Method) – EEP Applicable”.
(d)(ii)(2) Failure to Comply by Receiving Party: If Receiving Party fails to comply with the Requirements under the Scheme as specified below, the Payment Date will be postponed and Delivering Party may, by notice, require Receiving Party to comply, and:
- (A) Failure to Comply Remedied: If Receiving Party complies by the Final Compliance Date:
- (X) Delivering Party must deliver the Allowances to be Delivered and, on the Payment Date (where the Delivery Date will be the date of actual delivery) Receiving Party must pay:
- (i) Allowance Forward Transactions: Allowance Purchase Price x Number of Allowances;
- (ii) Allowance Option Transactions: Allowance Strike Price x number of Allowances to be Delivered; and
- (Y) on same the Payment Date, Receiving Party must pay interest at the Default Rate on number of Allowances due but not delivered x relevant Allowance Purchase Price/Allowance Strike Price from the original Delivery Date to the date of actual delivery.
- (B) Failure to Comply Not Remedied: If Receiving Party fails to comply by the Final Compliance Date, Delivering Party may, by written notice, terminate the parties’ “Physical Settlement” obligations and Receiving Party must pay Delivering Party’s Replacement Cost (if positive) on the next Business Day, adjusted for amounts previously paid (other than Premium by Receiving Party on the relevant EU Emissions Allowance Transaction.
(d)(ii)(3) EEP Amount: If “Excess Emissions Penalty” applies and, following Delivering Party’s failure to deliver, Receiving Party becomes liable for an EEP Amount, it must provide, upon Delivering Party’s request, reasonably satisfactory evidence that:
- (A) it has incurred an EEP Amount consequent on Delivering Party’s failure; and
- (B) the extent to which this results from Delivering Party’s failure; and
- (C) that it could not have used other Allowances to which it had title to reduce its liability for the EEP Amount it claims from Delivering Party.
Delivering Party’s obligation to pay any EEP Amount under “Failure to Deliver” is subject to Receiving Party’s having used reasonable endeavours to avoid and mitigate its liability for EEP Amounts and to allocate them pro rata between all its counterparties who have failed to deliver Allowances to it provided, that the onus will be on Delivering Party to show that Receiving Party has failed to do so.
(d)(iii) Partial Settlement
If Delivering Party delivers fewer Allowances to Receiving Party on the Delivery Date than the Allowances to be Delivered (an “Allowance Shortfall”), Receiving Party’s corresponding payment obligation will be reduced proportionately and the “Failure to Deliver” provisions of this Annex will apply mutatis mutandis to the Allowance Shortfall.
Template:Nutshell EUA Annex (d)(iv)
Template:Nutshell EUA Annex (d)(ix)
(d)(v) Invoicing: Following the Delivery Date, Delivering Party must send Receiving Party a valid invoice for applicable VAT (a “VAT Invoice”) stating the number of Allowances delivered, the Allowance Price, the total amount payable by Receiving Party and the amount of any VAT.
(d)(vi) Scheme Requirements: Each party must:
- (1) ensure that on any Delivery Date it has at least one validly-registered Holding Account, and that all of its Specified Holding Accounts are validly registered, under the Registries Regulation and
- (2) where it is Delivering Party, ensure that it has nominated each of Receiving Party’s Specified Holding Account as a “trusted account” in its “trusted account list” for its own Specified Holding Accounts under the Registries Regulation; and
- (3) not give any Relevant Authority grounds to prevent the transfer of any Allowances required under any EU Emissions Allowance Transaction.
(d)(vii) No Encumbrances: Delivering Party must deliver all Allowances free of all encumbrances and competing interests (the “No Encumbrance Obligation”). If it does not:
- (1) This Agreement and all Transactions will continue unaffected.
- (2) Receiving Party must promptly given written notice of the Encumbrance Loss Amount to Delivering Party with reasonable calculation details.
- (3) By close on the third Business Day of an invoice following the notice, Delivering Party must pay Receiving Party the Encumbrance Loss Amount, with interest at the Default Rate. Once paid, the parties will have no further obligations under that Transaction, and these are its exclusive remedies for breach of the No Encumbrance Obligation.
- (4) Where transfering an Affected Allowance breaches the No Encumbrances Obligation, Delivering Party will only be liable for the Encumbrance Loss Amount if, when it acquired the Affected Allowance, it was not acting in good faith; or:
- (A) Receiving Party, has used its best good faith effos to defend a claim from the Original Affected Party, but was unsuccessful; or
- (B) Receiving Party, having acted in good faith when buying such Affected Allowance but still suffered a claim (from someone other than the Original Affected Party) for that Affected Allowance, has used all reasonable endeavours to mitigate the Encumbrance Loss Amount.

Template:Nutshell EUA Annex (d)(x)
(d)(xi) Failure to Deliver (Alternative Method) - EEP Applicable
- (i) Obligation: If “Failure to Deliver (Alternative Method)” and “EEP” applies and Delivering Party’s failure causes Receiving Party to incur an Excess Emissions Penalty other than where Receiving Party did not comply with the Requirements under the Scheme or there was an Illegality, Settlement Disruption Event or Suspension Event (the “EEP Non-delivery” and such EEP the “Indemnifiable EEP”), Delivering Party must pay, in addition to the Receiving Party’s Replacement Cost, the Indemnifiable EEP (the “EEP Payment”), to a maximum of the product of the relevant RPRC Shortfall and the maximum prevailing per-Allowance rate of Excess Emissions Penalty.
- (ii) Evidence of liability: Payment of the EEP Payment is conditional up Receiving Party demonstrating to Delivering Party’s reasonable satisfaction:
- (a) that it has indeed incurred and paid the EEP Payment due to a shortfall of Allowances on the Reconciliation Deadline following the Delivery Date (the “Deadline Shortfall”);
- (b) the extent to which:
- (i) Delivering Party’s EEP Non-delivery caused its EEP Payment liability;
- (ii) it would have incurred that liability regardless of Delivering Party’s EEP Non-delivery; and
- (iii) any third party’s failure to deliver Allowances under another agreement contributed to its EEP Payment liability.
- In this regard Receiving Party must provide Delivering Party with information it needs to make a commercially reasonable assessment of how far its EEP Non-delivery contributed to the Deadline Shortfall.
- (iii) Third party contributions: If other parties’ failures contributed to the Deadline Shortfall, then Delivering Party is only obliged to pay its proportionate share of the EEP Payment as determined by the parties in a commercially reasonable manner. Receiving Party may not claim any part of an EEP Payment from Delivering Party such that its aggregate of claims against third parties relating to the EEP Payment would result in a windfall.
- (iv) Disputes: Delivering Party may in good faith dispute any payment by notice to Receiving Party stating its reasons for the dispute. Pending resolution (which the parties must try to resolve as soon as they can) the EEP Payment obligation will be suspended.
- (v) Invoice and payment: Once agreed, Delivering Party must pay the EEP Payment within two Business Days against Receiving Party’s VAT Invoice.
(d)(xii) Specified Holding Accounts and Modifications of Party’s Specified Holding Accounts:
- (1) Receiving Party:
- (A) must specify at least one validly registered Holding Account is specified as a Specified Holding Account in the Annex or in the Confirmation; and
- (B) may, for any Transaction:
- (a) amend the order of its Specified Holding Accounts
- (b) add new Specified Holding Accounts, or
- (c) remove a Specified Holding Account
- As long as it notifies Delivering Party in writing at least thirty (30) calendar days before the next Delivery Date and provided that Delivering Party consents in writing to any amendment or removal within five (5) Delivery Business Days of such notice.
- (2) Delivering Party may:
- (A) specify at least one validly registered Holding Account as a Specified Holding Account in the Annex or the Confirmation; and
- (B) add new Specified Holding Accounts by giving written notice to Receiving Party at least ten Delivery Business Days before the next Delivery Date.

- (B) For purposes of an Allowance Option Transaction, in respect of each Exercise Date, on the relevant Payment Date Receiving Party shall pay to Delivering Party an amount equal to the Allowance Strike Price multiplied by the Number of Allowances to be Delivered and on the relevant Delivery Date Delivering Party shall deliver to Receiving Party the Allowances to be Delivered, and Receiving Party shall accept the Allowances to be Delivered, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the related Confirmation.
(d)(i)(2) Delivery
- (A) Any obligation of Delivering Party to deliver Allowances pursuant to an EU Emissions Allowance Transaction shall be discharged by the completed transfer of those Allowances from a Holding Account of Delivering Party under and in accordance with the Scheme. A transfer of Allowances shall be considered to be completed for the purpose of a delivery obligation pursuant to an EU Emissions Allowance Transaction when the relevant Allowances are received at the relevant Specified Holding Account of Receiving Party, whereupon risk of loss related to the Allowances or any portion thereof transfers from Delivering Party to Receiving Party.
- (B) Notwithstanding Part(d)(i)(2)(A) above, if Delivering Party has one or more Specified Holding Accounts for the relevant EU Emissions Allowance Transaction, Delivering Party’s obligation to deliver Allowances under an EU Emissions Allowance Transaction shall be limited to an obligation to deliver from any such Specified Holding Account of Delivering Party to the relevant Specified Holding Account of Receiving Party.
- (C) Where Receiving Party has more than one Specified Holding Account in respect of an EU Emissions Allowance Transaction, such Specified Holding Accounts are set out in order of preference. Delivering Party shall deliver the Allowances to be Delivered to the first listed Specified Holding Account of Receiving Party on the Delivery Date unless, in respect of such Receiving Party’s Specified Holding Account, it is prevented from so doing by an event or circumstance that would be a Settlement Disruption Event or a Suspension Event if the first listed Specified Holding Account of Receiving Party were the only Specified Holding Account so listed. In such circumstances, the provisions of this paragraph will apply iteratively to the next listed Receiving Party’s Specified Holding Account (if any).
- (D) If a transfer of Allowances is completed after 4:00 p.m., Central European Time, on a Delivery Business Day or at any time on any day other than a Delivery Business Day, then those Allowances will be deemed to have been delivered at 10:00 a.m., Central European Time, on the next following Delivery Business Day. If a transfer of Allowances is completed before 10:00 a.m., Central European Time, on a Delivery Business Day, then those Allowances will be deemed to have been delivered at 10:00 a.m., Central European Time, on that day.
(d)(i)(3) Netting: If on any date Allowances of the same Allowance Type and Specified Compliance Period would otherwise be deliverable in respect of two or more EU Emissions Allowance Transactions by each party to the other and, if applicable, between the same pair of Holding Accounts of the parties, then, on such date, each party’s obligation to make delivery of any such Allowances will be automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate amount of Allowances that would otherwise have been deliverable by one party exceeds the aggregate amount of Allowances that would otherwise have been deliverable by the other party, replaced by an obligation upon the party by which the larger aggregate amount would have been deliverable to deliver to the other party the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount.
(d)(i)(4) Settlement Disruption Event
- (A) Notification of Settlement Disruption Event: Upon the occurrence of a Settlement Disruption Event, either party may notify the other party in writing of the commencement of the Settlement Disruption Event and the EU Emissions Allowance Transaction(s) affected by that Settlement Disruption Event. Where the notification is from the party affected by the Settlement Disruption Event, to the extent available to such party, it shall also provide details of the Settlement Disruption Event and a non-binding estimate of the extent and the expected duration of its inability to perform its obligations due to the Settlement Disruption Event.
- (B) Effect of Settlement Disruption Event: If a Settlement Disruption Event occurs, the obligations of both parties which would otherwise be required to be performed with respect to the EU Emissions Allowance Transaction(s) affected by the Settlement Disruption Event will be suspended for the duration of the Settlement Disruption Event and, subject to (d)(i)(4)(D) (Continuing Settlement Disruption Event) below, will not be required to be performed until the Settlement Disruption Event is overcome or ceases to exist. During the continuation of the Settlement Disruption Event, the party affected by the Settlement Disruption Event shall continue to use all reasonable endeavours to overcome the Settlement Disruption Event.
- (C) Settlement Disruption Event Delayed Performance: Subject to Part (d)(i)(4)(D)(Continuing Settlement Disruption Event) below, upon the Settlement Disruption Event being overcome or ceasing to subsist, both parties will be required, as soon as reasonably practicable but not later than the second Delivery Business Day following the date upon which the Settlement Disruption Event has been overcome or ceases to exist, to resume full performance of their obligations under this Agreement in respect of the relevant EU Emissions Allowance Transaction(s) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any suspended obligations).
- (D) Continuing Settlement Disruption Event: In respect of an EU Emissions Allowance Transaction affected by a Settlement Disruption Event, where the Settlement Disruption Event continues:
- (I) during the period ending 9 Delivery Business Days after the original date that, but for the Settlement Disruption Event, would have been the Delivery Date for an EU Emissions Allowance Transaction; or
- (II) if such 9 Delivery Business Day period would end after the Reconciliation Deadline on or immediately following the original date that, but for the Settlement Disruption Event, would have been the Delivery Date for an EU Emissions Allowance Transaction, during the period ending on that Reconciliation Deadline; or
- (III) if such 9 Delivery Business Day period would end after the day that is 3 Delivery Business Days preceding the End of Phase Reconciliation Deadline on or immediately following the original date that, but for the Settlement Disruption Event, would have been the Delivery Date for an EU Emissions Allowance Transaction, during the period ending on the day that is 3 Delivery Business Days preceding that End of Phase Reconciliation Deadline,
- then on that 9th Delivery Business Day, Reconciliation Deadline or day that is 3 Delivery Business Days preceding the End of Phase Reconciliation Deadline (as the case may be), an [Additional Termination Event][Illegality][1] shall be deemed to have occurred in respect of which the relevant EU Emissions Allowance Transaction is the sole Affected Transaction, both parties are Affected Parties[, no Waiting Period will apply] and, if an Early Termination Date results from that Termination Event, then, for purposes of determining any amount payable under Section 6(e) in respect of that Early Termination Date:
- (i) if “Payment on Termination for Settlement Disruption” is specified to be applicable in the Annex to this Part 5 or the Confirmation for the relevant EU Emissions Allowance Transaction, it will be deemed that the requirement to perform the suspended obligations resumed on the Early Termination Date; or
- (ii) if “Payment on Termination for Settlement Disruption” is specified to be inapplicable in the Annex to this Part or the Confirmation for the relevant EU Emissions Allowance Transaction, it will be deemed that the parties had no further delivery or payment obligations in respect of the EU Emissions Allowance Transaction after the occurrence of the Settlement Disruption Event (other than in respect of any payment due by one party in connection with delivery obligations already performed by the other party); provided, however, that
- (i) Delivering Party shall promptly refund to Receiving Party any amount that may have been paid by Receiving Party in respect of the EU Emissions Allowance Transaction that is an Allowance Forward Transaction or a Call and
- (ii) Receiving Party shall promptly refund to Delivering Party any amount that may have been paid by Delivering Party in respect of an EU Emissions Allowance Transaction that is a Put (in each case, other than in respect of delivered Allowances) together with interest on that amount in the same currency as that amount for the period from (and including) the date that amount was paid to (but excluding) the date of termination of such EU Emissions Allowance Transaction, at the rate certified by the party required to refund the amount to be a rate offered to such party by a major bank in a relevant interbank market for overnight deposits in the applicable currency, such bank to be selected in good faith by that party for purposes of obtaining a representative rate that will reasonably reflect conditions prevailing at the time in the relevant market.
(d)(i)(5) Suspension Event
- (A) Notification of Suspension Event: Upon the occurrence of a Suspension Event, the party affected by the Suspension Event shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, notify the other party in writing of the commencement of the Suspension Event. To the extent available to the party affected by the Suspension Event, it shall also provide details of the Suspension Event including a non-binding estimate of the duration of its inability to perform its obligations due to the Suspension Event.
- (B) Effect of Suspension Event: Where a Suspension Event occurs, the obligations of both parties which would otherwise be required to be performed with respect to the EU Emissions Allowance Transaction(s) affected by the Suspension Event will be suspended for the duration of the Suspension Event and, subject to Part (d)(i)(5)(D)(Continuing Suspension Event) below, will not be required to be performed until the Suspension Event ceases to exist.
- (C) Suspension Event Delayed Performance: Subject to Part (d)(i)(5)(D)(Continuing Suspension Event) below, upon the Suspension Event ceasing to exist, both parties will be required to resume full performance of their obligations under this Agreement in respect of the relevant EU Emissions Allowance Transaction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any suspended obligations) as soon as possible but no later than the day that is the earlier of: (i) the tenth Delivery Business Day following the date on which the Suspension Event ceases to exist; and (ii) 3 Delivery Business Days prior to the End of Phase Reconciliation Deadline (the “Delayed Delivery Date”).
- In the event that the Allowances to be Delivered are delivered to Receiving Party on or before the Delayed Delivery Date following the occurrence of a Suspension Event as contemplated by Part (d)(i)(5)(B)(Effect of a Suspension Event) above, Receiving Party agrees to pay Delivering Party on the Delayed Payment Date:
- (I) for the purposes of an Allowance Forward Transaction, an amount equal to the sum of: (X) Allowance Purchase Price multiplied by the Number of Allowances delivered on or before the relevant Delayed Delivery Date; and (Y) the Cost of Carry Amount; or
- (II) for the purposes of an Allowance Option Transaction, an amount equal to the sum of: (X) the Allowance Strike Price multiplied by the Number of Allowances delivered on or before the relevant Delayed Delivery Date; and (Y) the Cost of Carry Amount.
- For the avoidance of doubt, the Cost of Carry Amount shall be identified in the relevant VAT Invoice sent to Receiving Party.
- (D) Continuing Suspension Event: Where:
- [(I)][2] a Suspension Event continues to exist on the Long-Stop Date, then an [Additional Termination Event]/[Illegality] shall be deemed to have occurred in respect of which the relevant EU Emissions Allowance Transaction is the sole Affected Transaction [,]/[and] both parties are Affected Parties [and no Waiting Period will apply]. The parties agree that the Long-Stop Date will be the Early Termination Date for the purposes of the relevant EU Emissions Allowance Transaction. For purposes of determining any amount payable under Section 6(e) in respect of that Early Termination Date, it will be deemed that the parties had no further delivery or payment obligations in respect of the EU Emissions Allowance Transaction after the occurrence of the Suspension Event (other than in respect of any payment due by one party in connection with delivery obligations already performed by the other party); provided, however, that (i) Delivering Party shall promptly refund to Receiving Party any amount that may have been paid by Receiving Party in respect of the EU Emissions Allowance Transaction that is an Allowance Forward Transaction or a Call and (ii) Receiving Party shall promptly refund to Delivering Party any amount that may have been paid by Delivering Party in respect of an EU Emissions Allowance Transaction that is a Put (in each case, other than in respect of delivered Allowances) together with interest on that amount in the same currency as that amount for the period from (and including) the date that amount was paid to (but excluding) the date of termination of such EU Emissions Allowance Transaction, at the rate certified by the party required to refund the amount to be a rate offered to such party by a major bank in a relevant interbank market for overnight deposits in the applicable currency, such bank to be selected in good faith by that party for purposes of obtaining a representative rate that will reasonably reflect conditions prevailing at the time in the relevant market.
(d)(ii) Failure to Deliver.
(d)(ii)(1) Failure to Deliver by Delivering Party
If the failure to deliver occurs other than as a result of the failure of Receiving Party to comply with the Requirements under the Scheme as specified below, the existence of an Illegality, the existence of a Settlement Disruption Event, the existence of a Suspension Event or an abandonment of the Scheme as described in Part [7](d)(iv)(1), the Payment Date will be postponed and Receiving Party may, by notice to Delivering Party, require Delivering Party to remedy such failure, and the following provisions shall apply.

- (B) Failure to Deliver Not Remedied: If the failure is not remedied on or before the Final Delivery Date:
- (X) if “Excess Emissions Penalty” is specified not to be applicable in the Annex to this Part [7] or the Confirmation for the relevant EU Emissions Allowance Transaction, or if “Excess Emissions Penalty” is specified to be applicable in the Annex to this Part [7] or the Confirmation for the relevant EU Emissions Allowance Transaction and an EEP Risk Period is specified in that Confirmation but the Delivery Date does not fall within that EEP Risk Period, Receiving Party may, by written notice to Delivering Party, terminate the parties’ obligations under “Physical Settlement” above and Delivering Party shall pay to Receiving Party an amount determined in accordance with paragraph (1) of Receiving Party’s Replacement Cost (if a positive number) on the first succeeding Business Day, adjusted to take into account any amount previously paid (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Premium paid by the Buyer in respect of an Allowance Option Transaction) by Receiving Party to Delivering Party in respect of the relevant EU Emissions Allowance Transaction; or
- (Y) if “Excess Emissions Penalty” is specified to be applicable in the Annex to this Part [7] or the Confirmation for the relevant EU Emissions Allowance Transaction and, if an EEP Risk Period is specified in the Confirmation for the relevant EU Emissions Allowance Transaction, the Delivery Date falls within that EEP Risk Period for the relevant EU Emissions Allowance Transaction, Receiving Party may, by written notice to Delivering Party, terminate the parties’ obligations under “Physical Settlement” above and Delivering Party shall pay to Receiving Party an amount determined in accordance with paragraph (2) of Receiving Party’s Replacement Cost (if a positive number) on the first Business Day following the day on which Receiving Party is able to effect a Buy-In (which may be a Buy-In, on any such date, of less than the entire number of Undelivered Allowances) if and to the extent that paragraphs (2)(A)(I) or (2)(A)(II)(X) of Receiving Party’s Replacement Cost apply, or the first Business Day following the day on which Receiving Party is able to effect a purchase of Allowances in accordance with paragraph (2)(A)(II)(Y) of Receiving Party’s Replacement Cost, if and to the extent that paragraph applies, in either case adjusted to take into account any amount previously paid (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Premium paid by the Buyer in respect of an Allowance Option Transaction) by Receiving Party to Delivering Party in respect of the EU Emissions Allowance Transaction; or
- (Z) if “Failure to Deliver (Alternative Method)” is specified to be applicable in the Annex to this Part [7] or the Confirmation for the relevant EU Emissions Allowance Transaction:
- (aa) Delivering Party shall pay to Receiving Party, on the first succeeding Business Day, an amount determined in accordance with paragraph (3) of Receiving Party’s Replacement Cost (if a positive number), adjusted to take into account any amount previously paid (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Premium paid by the Buyer in respect of an Allowance Option Transaction) by Receiving Party to Delivering Party in respect of the relevant EU Emissions Allowance Transaction, and upon payment of such amount, Delivering Party’s obligation to deliver to Receiving Party the Allowances to be Delivered shall be fully discharged and terminated; and
- (bb) if “Excess Emissions Penalty” is specified to be applicable in the Annex to this Part [7] or the Confirmation for the relevant EU Emissions Allowance Transaction, Delivering Party shall pay to Receiving Party the amount, if any, determined in accordance with the provisions of Part [7] (d)(xi)(Failure to Deliver (Alternative Method) – EEP Applicable) below on the date determined in accordance with those provisions.
- (d)(ii)(2) Failure to Comply by Receiving Party: If the failure to deliver occurs as a result of the failure of Receiving Party to comply with the Requirements under the Scheme as specified below, the Payment Date will be postponed and Delivering Party may, by notice to Receiving Party, require Receiving Party so to comply, and the following provisions shall apply.
- (A) Failure to Comply Remedied: If Receiving Party complies on or before the Final Compliance Date:
- (X) Delivering Party shall deliver to Receiving Party the Allowances to be Delivered and, in respect of an Allowance Forward Transaction, Receiving Party shall pay to Delivering Party on the Payment Date an amount equal to the Allowance Purchase Price multiplied by the Number of Allowances and, in respect of an Allowance Option Transaction, Receiving Party shall pay to Delivering Party on the Payment Date an amount equal to the Allowance Strike Price multiplied by the number of Allowances to be Delivered (and, in each case, for purposes of determining the Payment Date, the date of actual delivery shall be deemed to be the Delivery Date); and
- (Y) Receiving Party shall pay to Delivering Party on the Payment Date (determined in accordance with Part (d)(ii)(2)(A)(X) above) interest on an amount equal to the number of Allowances that were required to be delivered on the Delivery Date (but which were not delivered on that date) multiplied by the Allowance Purchase Price or Allowance Strike Price, as applicable, for the period from (and including) the original Delivery Date to (but excluding) the date of actual delivery at the Default Rate.
- (B) Failure to Comply Not Remedied: If Receiving Party fails to comply on or before the Final Compliance Date, Delivering Party may, by written notice to Receiving Party, terminate the parties’ obligations under “Physical Settlement” above and Receiving Party shall pay to Delivering Party an amount equal to Delivering Party’s Replacement Cost (if a positive number) on the first succeeding Business Day, adjusted to take into account any amount previously paid (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Premium paid by the Buyer in respect of an Allowance Option Transaction) by Receiving Party to Delivering Party in respect of the relevant EU Emissions Allowance Transaction.
(d)(ii)(3) EEP Amount: Subject to the paragraph below, if “Excess Emissions Penalty” is specified to be applicable in the Annex to this Part [7] or the Confirmation for the relevant EU Emissions Allowance Transaction and as a result of Delivering Party’s failure to deliver the Allowances to be Delivered (in whole or in part) on the Delivery Date Receiving Party becomes liable to pay any EEP Amount, then Receiving Party shall provide to Delivering Party, upon its reasonable request, evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of Delivering Party:
- (A) that Receiving Party has incurred an EEP Amount consequent on Delivering Party’s failure to deliver the Allowances to be Delivered (in whole or in part); and
- (B) the extent to which the requirement for Receiving Party to pay any EEP Amount results from Delivering Party’s failure to make such delivery; and
- (C) that Receiving Party could not have used Allowances to which it had title in any Holding Account(s) in any Registry in order to avoid or reduce its liability to pay any EEP Amount which it claims from Delivering Party as part of Receiving Party’s Replacement Cost.
Delivering Party’s obligation to pay any EEP Amount in accordance with “Failure to Deliver” under Part [7] of the Schedule to this Agreement is subject to Receiving Party’s overriding obligation to use its reasonable endeavours to avoid becoming liable for such EEP Amount or, when liable, to mitigate the payment obligation in relation to such EEP Amount and to allocate any such EEP Amount pro rata between all counterparties of Receiving Party that have failed to deliver Allowances to Receiving Party provided, however, that where Receiving Party confirms it has been unable to avoid becoming liable for any EEP Amount, it shall be for Delivering Party to show that it has been as a result of Receiving Party failing to use its reasonable endeavours to do so.
(d)(iii) Partial Settlement
If, on the Delivery Date, Delivering Party delivers to Receiving Party fewer Allowances than the Allowances to be Delivered (such shortfall the “Allowance Shortfall”), Receiving Party’s obligation to pay pursuant to Physical Settlement above shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Allowance Shortfall multiplied by either the Allowance Purchase Price (in respect of an Allowance Forward Transaction) or the Allowance Strike Price (in respect of an Allowance Option Transaction), and the provisions of “Failure to Deliver” above will apply in respect of the Allowance Shortfall (with references to Number of Allowances (in the case of an Allowance Forward Transaction) and Allowances to be Delivered (in the case of an Allowance Option Transaction) being read as references to the Allowance Shortfall).
(d)(iv) Abandonment of Scheme
(1) If before the Delivery Date the Scheme is, as a result of official written public pronouncement by the European Community, no longer scheduled to proceed or is to be discontinued, either party may, by written notice to the other party, terminate the relevant EU Emissions Allowance Transaction, in which case neither party shall have any further delivery or payment obligations under or in respect of that EU Emissions Allowance Transaction (other than in respect of any payment due by one party in connection with delivery obligations already performed by the other party) and, for the avoidance of doubt, a payment shall not be due under Section 6(e) of the Agreement or otherwise in respect of such termination.
(2) In the event of a termination in accordance with sub-clause (1) Delivering Party shall promptly refund to Receiving Party any amount that may have been paid by Receiving Party in respect of the EU Emissions Allowance Transaction that is an Allowance Forward Transaction or a Call and Receiving Party shall promptly refund to Delivering Party any amount that may have been paid by Delivering Party in respect of an EU Emissions Allowance Transaction which is a Put together with interest on that amount in the same currency as that amount for the period from (and including) the date that amount was paid to (but excluding) the date of termination of the EU Emissions Allowance Transaction in accordance with sub-clause (1), at the rate certified by the party required to refund the amount to be a rate offered to such party by a major bank in a relevant interbank market for overnight deposits in the applicable currency, such bank to be selected in good faith by that party for purposes of obtaining a representative rate that will reasonably reflect conditions prevailing at the time in the relevant market.
(d)(v) Invoicing
On or after the Delivery Date, Delivering Party shall send to Receiving Party a valid VAT invoice (applicable in the jurisdiction of supply) setting forth the number of Allowances delivered, or that would have been delivered but for the provisions of Part(d)(i)(3)(Netting), above, and the Allowance Purchase Price(s) or Allowance Strike Price(s), as applicable, stating the total amount payable by Receiving Party and stating the amount of VAT, if any, properly chargeable thereon (a “VAT Invoice”).
(d)(vi) Requirements under the Scheme
Each party agrees with the other that, so long as either party has or may have any obligation under an EU Emissions Allowance Transaction, it shall:
- (1) ensure that on a Delivery Date or Delayed Delivery Date (as the case may be) it has one or more Holding Accounts validly registered in accordance with the Registries Regulation and where it has one or more Specified Holding Accounts, ensure that on a Delivery Date or Delayed Delivery Date (as the case may be) it has all such Specified Holding Accounts validly registered in accordance with the Registries Regulation ;
- (2) where it is Delivering Party, ensure that each Specified Holding Account of Receiving Party is nominated as a “trusted account” in its “trusted account list” for each of its Specified Holding Accounts (or other Holding Accounts, as applicable) for the purposes of the Registries Regulation; and
- (3) conduct its affairs so as not to give any Relevant Authority cause to block, suspend, refuse, reject or cancel the transfer (whether in whole or in part) of Allowances requested to be made pursuant to any EU Emissions Allowance Transaction.
(d)(vii) No Encumbrances
In respect of each delivery of Allowances, Delivering Party shall deliver Allowances, free and clear of all liens, security interests, claims and encumbrances or any interest in or to them by any person (the “No Encumbrance Obligation”).
Where a party is in breach of the No Encumbrance Obligation, the following shall apply:
- (1) This Agreement and all other Transactions agreed by the parties under this Agreement shall continue unaffected.
- (2) Without prejudice to any defences available to Delivering Party (including, but not limited to, any defences of statutes of limitation or similar), following written notice of that breach from Receiving Party to Delivering Party (irrespective of how long after the relevant Delivery Date such notice is provided) and subject to Part (d)(vii)(4) below, Receiving Party shall:
- (A) determine the Encumbrance Loss Amount arising from that breach either on the date such notice is deemed to be received or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter; and
- (B) shall notify Delivering Party of such Encumbrance Loss Amount due, including detailed support for its calculation.
- Receiving Party is not required to enter into replacement transactions in order to determine the Encumbrance Loss Amount.
- (3) By no later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the later of (i) receipt of a valid invoice in connection with such Encumbrance Loss Amount and (ii) receipt of the above-mentioned notice including detailed support of Receiving Party’s calculation of the Encumbrance Loss Amount, Delivering Party shall pay the Encumbrance Loss Amount to Receiving Party, which amount shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Upon payment of the Encumbrance Loss Amount by Delivering Party, the parties shall have no further obligations in respect of that EU Emissions Allowance Transaction and that breach. Receiving Party acknowledges that its exclusive remedies in respect of such breach are those set out in this Part(d)(vii)(No Encumbrances).
- (4) Where a breach of the No Encumbrances Obligation is caused by the transfer of an Affected Allowance, Delivering Party shall be liable for the Encumbrance Loss Amount if, at the date it first acquired, received or purchased such Affected Allowance, it was not acting in good faith; otherwise, Delivering Party shall only be liable for the Encumbrance Loss Amount (without prejudice to any other defences available to Delivering Party including, but not limited to, any defences of statutes of limitation or similar), if:
- (A) Receiving Party, whether or not the holder of such Affected Allowance, who is subject to a claim of the Original Affected Party, has, in order to resist or avoid any Encumbrance Loss Amount from arising, used its best endeavours to defend such a claim in respect of that Affected Allowance (including, if available, by relying on Article 40 of the Registries Regulation or any equivalent legal principle under applicable national law) and was unsuccessful (other than for reasons of its own lack of good faith); or
- (B) Receiving Party, whether or not the holder of such Affected Allowance, who acted in good faith in respect of its purchase of such Affected Allowance and who is subject to a claim of a third party (other than the Original Affected Party) in respect of that Affected Allowance, has used all reasonable endeavours to mitigate the Encumbrance Loss Amount.
(d)(viii) Value Added Taxes
- (1) All amounts referred to in this Part or in a Confirmation for an EU Emissions Allowance Transaction are exclusive of any applicable Value Added Taxes (“VAT”) which are or may become chargeable in respect of the supply or supplies for which such sums form the whole or part of the consideration for VAT purposes, and any such VAT shall be payable in addition to any such other consideration in accordance with the provisions set out below.
- (2) Receiving Party shall either (A) subject to receipt of an appropriate VAT Invoice in respect of such supply or supplies stating inter alia the amount of VAT properly chargeable thereon (the “VAT Amount”), pay to Delivering Party a sum equal to the VAT Amount on the Payment Date; or (B) where, under the provisions of the applicable VAT legislation, Receiving Party is required to self-assess and account for any VAT chargeable in respect of such supply, account for such VAT.
- (3) On each date on which an EU Emissions Allowance Transaction is entered into, Receiving Party represents to Delivering Party that:
- (A) for VAT purposes, Receiving Party receives the services supplied pursuant to the EU Emissions Allowance Transaction in connection with an establishment of Receiving Party in that party’s VAT Jurisdiction; and
- (B) it is a taxable person for the purposes of Article 9 of the European Community Directive 2006/112/EC and receives such supply for the purposes of a business carried on by it.
- (4) Subject to each party’s obligations relating to VAT, each party shall cause all royalties, Taxes, duties, and other sums (including any environmental tax or levy) legally payable by that party arising in connection with an EU Emissions Allowance Transaction to be paid, and shall reimburse the other party to the extent that party is required to pay any such royalties, Taxes, duties or other sums for which the first party is primarily liable.
(d)(ix) No Consequential Loss
Except to the extent included in any amount payable under Section 6(e) of the Agreement, any payment in respect of Receiving Party’s Replacement Cost or Delivering Party’s Replacement Cost, or any payment in respect of Encumbrance Loss Amount, neither party is liable to the other, whether in contract, tort (including negligence and breach of duty) or otherwise, for any business interruption or loss of use, profits, contracts, production or revenue or for any consequential or indirect loss or damage of any kind however arising.
(d)(x) Other Fees and Expenses
All costs, fees and charges assessed or imposed by a Relevant Authority in connection with the transfer of Allowances pursuant to an EU Emissions Allowance Transaction shall be the responsibility of the party upon whom such costs, fees and/or charges are allocated by the Relevant Authority.
(d)(xi) Failure to Deliver (Alternative Method) - EEP Applicable
If “Failure to Deliver (Alternative Method)” and “EEP” are specified to be applicable in the Annex to this Part or the Confirmation for the relevant EU Emissions Allowance Transaction, then, with regard to that EU Emissions Allowance Transaction, in the event that Receiving Party incurs an Excess Emissions Penalty directly caused by Delivering Party’s failure to deliver the Allowances to be Delivered on a Delivery Date falling within the EEP Risk Period other than as a result of the failure of Receiving Party to comply with the Requirements under the Scheme as specified above, the existence of an Illegality, the existence of a Settlement Disruption Event or the existence of a Suspension Event (the “EEP Non-delivery” and the amount of such Excess Emissions Penalty so caused, the “Indemnifiable EEP”), then Delivering Party shall pay to Receiving Party, in addition to the Receiving Party’s Replacement Cost (if any), an amount equal to the amount of the Indemnifiable EEP paid by Receiving Party (the “EEP Payment”), provided that such EEP Payment shall not exceed the product of the RPRC Shortfall for that EU Emissions Allowance Transaction and the maximum per Allowance rate of Excess Emissions Penalty applicable at the relevant time.
Delivering Party’s obligation to pay the EEP Payment in respect of the EEP Non-delivery shall be conditional upon Receiving Party demonstrating to the reasonable satisfaction of Delivering Party:
- (a) that Receiving Party has incurred and paid the EEP Payment consequent on a shortfall of Allowances as at the Reconciliation Deadline immediately succeeding the Delivery Date (the “Deadline Shortfall”);
- (b) the extent to which Receiving Party’s liability to make the EEP Payment resulted from Delivering Party’s EEP Non-delivery;
- (c) the extent to which Receiving Party’s liability to make the EEP Payment would have been incurred notwithstanding Delivering Party’s EEP Non-delivery; and
- (d) the extent to which Receiving Party’s liability to make the EEP Payment arose due to any third party’s failure(s) to deliver any Allowance to be Delivered to Receiving Party in accordance with the terms of any agreements between Receiving Party and such third party.
Receiving Party agrees to provide all other information to Delivering Party in order for Delivering Party to make a commercially reasonable assessment of the extent to which the Deadline Shortfall was directly caused by its EEP Non-delivery.
In the event that the Deadline Shortfall is directly caused by the failure of a number of parties (including Delivering Party and Receiving Party), then Delivering Party’s liability shall be to pay the EEP Payment in respect of its proportionate share of the Deadline Shortfall as determined by the parties in a commercially reasonable manner. In no circumstances shall Receiving Party seek to claim an EEP Payment from Delivering Party such that when aggregated with all the other claims made by Receiving Party to other parties in respect of its liability to make the EEP Payment and the liability caused by Receiving Party’s own action or inaction, it is more than Receiving Party’s liability to make the EEP Payment.
If Delivering Party disputes in good faith the amount of the EEP Payment claimed by Receiving Party, Delivering Party shall so notify Receiving Party stating the reasons for the dispute and the obligation to pay the EEP Payment shall be suspended until such dispute is resolved. The parties shall seek to settle the dispute regarding the EEP Payment as soon as reasonably possible.
Once the amount of the EEP Payment is agreed or any dispute in relation thereto resolved, Delivering Party shall pay such determined EEP Payment to Receiving Party within two (2) Business Days against Receiving Party’s VAT Invoice in respect thereof.
(d)(xii) Specified Holding Accounts and Modifications of Party’s Specified Holding Accounts
Each party agrees with the other, so long as either party has or may have any obligation under an EU Emissions Allowance Transaction, as follows:
- (1) In respect of Receiving Party:
- (A) Receiving Party shall ensure that one or more of such Holding Accounts registered in accordance with Part (d)(vi)(Requirements under the Scheme) above are specified in the Annex to this Part or in the relevant Confirmation; and
- (B) Receiving Party may from time to time (a) amend the order in which its Specified Holding Accounts are listed, (b) add a new Specified Holding Account as the last on the list of Specified Holding Accounts, and/or (c) remove a Specified Holding Account from those listed, in each case in respect of an EU Emissions Allowance Transaction, provided that it notifies Delivering Party in writing of such amendment, addition and/or removal (including the provision of the relevant account details) no less than thirty (30) calendar days prior to the next Delivery Date under that EU Emissions Allowance Transaction, and provided further that in the case of (a) and / or (c), Delivering Party notifies Receiving Party in writing that it consents to such changes within five (5) Delivery Business Days of receiving such notice from Receiving Party;
- (2) In respect of Delivering Party:
- (A) Delivering Party may specify one or more of such Holding Accounts registered in accordance with Part 7 (d)(vi)(Requirements under the Scheme) above in the Annex to this Part or in the relevant Confirmation; and
- (B) Delivering Party may from time to time, add a new Holding Account or an additional Holding Account to those listed in the Annex to this Part or in the relevant Confirmation provided that it notifies Receiving Party in writing of such addition (including the relevant account details) on or before the day that is ten (10) Delivery Business Days before the next Delivery Date under that EU Emissions Allowance Transaction.
