Allowances to be Delivered:

For Allowance Forward Transactions: The Number of Allowances;

For Allowance Option Transactions: For any Exercise Date the number of exercised Options x Option Entitlement.

Allowance Forward Transactions: Cost of Carry Rate x Allowance Purchase Price x N x (Cost of Carry Delay/360).

Allowance Option Transactions: Cost of Carry Rate x Allowance Strike Price x N x (Cost of Carry Delay/360).

where “N” = Number of Allowances delivered by the Delayed Delivery Date following a Suspension Event.
Cost of Carry Delay: The number of days from the scheduled Payment Date to the Delayed Payment Date.
Cost of Carry Rate: The Floating Rate that would be determined for the Calculation Period from the scheduled Payment Date to the Delayed Payment Date, were the Reset Date the last day of that Calculation Period and the Floating Rate Option “EUR-EONIA-OIS-COMPOUND”. Template:Nutshell EUA Annex Deadline Shortfall Template:Nutshell EUA Annex Delayed Delivery Date Template:Nutshell EUA Annex Delayed Payment Date Delivering Party means, for a Allowance Forward Transaction or a Call the Seller, and for a Put the Buyer.
Delivering Party’s Delivery Business Day Location will be specified in the Confirmation.

Delivering Party’s Replacement Cost means for Receiving Party’s failure to accept delivery of a number of Allowances (the “DPRC Shortfall”) the following amount:

(AP + Cost of Carry - EUA_spot x DPRC Shortfall) + Default Interest

Where:

“AP” = relevant Allowance Purchase Price/Allowance Strike Price
“Cost of Carry” = Where the parties’ “Physical Settlement” obligations are terminated following a Suspension Event, the Close-out Cost of Carry Amount.
“EUA_spot” = the price per Allowance the Calculation Agent determines Delivering Party, would reasonably receive in an arm’s length spot transaction on the Final Compliance Date for the same number of equivalent Allowances to be delivered on the later of the Final Compliance Date and the normal Delivery Business Day for settlement of Allowances under such a transaction.
“DPRC Shortfall” = as defined above.
“Default Interest” = interest at the Default Rate from the Delivery Date to the termination date per Part (d)(ii)(2)(B)(Failure to Comply Not Remedied) on DPRC Shortfall x any excess of the AP over EUA_spot. Delivery Business Day means a business day in both parties’ specified delivery location.^[1]
Delivery Date: Each date so specified in the Confirmation (subject to adjustment for a Suspension Event).
