{{EFET Allowance Annex 7.1}}
§ 7.1 '''{{efetaprov|Definition of Force Majeure}}'''. “'''{{efetaprov|Force Majeure}}'''” in the context of an {{efetaprov|Allowance Transaction}} means the occurrence of an event or circumstance beyond the control of the Party affected by {{efetaprov|Force Majeure}} (the “'''{{efetaprov|Affected Party}}'''”) that cannot, after using all reasonable efforts, be overcome and which makes it impossible for the {{efetaprov|Affected Party}}  to perform its {{efetaprov|Transfer}} or acceptance of {{efetaprov|Transfer}} obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the relevant Emissions Trading Scheme. [[For the avoidance of doubt]], but [[without limitation]], {{efetaprov|Force Majeure}} shall not include an event or circumstance where there are insufficient {{efetaprov|Allowance}}s in the relevant {{efetaprov|Holding Account}}(s) to effect the required Transfer, whether that insufficiency is caused by the low or non-allocation of {{efetaprov|Allowance}}s from a Member State or a Non-Member State, the delay or failure of a Member State or Central Administrator to replace {{efetaprov|Allowance}}s of the Third {{efetaprov|Compliance Period}} with {{efetaprov|Allowance}}s for the Fourth {{efetaprov|Compliance Period}} or the failure of that Party to procure sufficient {{efetaprov|Allowance}}s to meet its {{efetaprov|Transfer}} obligations. If an event or circumstance which would otherwise constitute or give rise to {{efetaprov|Force Majeure}} also constitutes a {{efetaprov|Suspension Event}}, it will be treated as a {{efetaprov|Suspension Event}} and will not constitute a {{efetaprov|Force Majeure}} event. <br>
§ {{efetaprov|7.2}} '''{{efetaprov|Suspension of Delivery and Acceptance Obligations}}'''. If a Party is fully or partly prevented due to {{efetaprov|Force Majeure}} from performing its obligations of {{efetaprov|Transfer}} or acceptance of Transfer, as applicable, under one or more {{efetaprov|Allowance Transaction}}s, no breach or default on the part of the {{efetaprov|Affected Party}}  shall be deemed to have occurred and the obligations of both Parties with respect to the relevant {{efetaprov|Allowance Transaction}}(s) will be suspended for the period of time and to the extent that such {{efetaprov|Force Majeure}} prevents their performance. During the continuation of {{efetaprov|Force Majeure}}, the {{efetaprov|Affected Party}}  shall continue to use all reasonable endeavours to overcome the {{efetaprov|Force Majeure}}. Subject to § {{efetaprov|7.4}} (''{{efetaprov|Settlement of Allowance Transaction Prevented by Force Majeure}}'') below, upon the {{efetaprov|Force Majeure}} event being overcome or it ceasing to subsist, both Parties will, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter (and in any event no later than the second {{efetaprov|Delivery Business Day}} following the cessation or Parties overcoming such {{efetaprov|Force Majeure}} event), resume full performance of their obligations under the Agreement in respect of the relevant {{efetaprov|Allowance Transaction}}(s) (including, [[For the avoidance of doubt]], any suspended obligations).

If a Party is fully or partly prevented due to {{efetaprov|Force Majeure}} from performing its obligations of {{efetaprov|Transfer}} or acceptance of Transfer, as applicable, under one or more {{efetaprov|Allowance Transaction}}s, no breach or default on the part of the {{efetaprov|Affected Party}}  shall be deemed to have occurred and the obligations of both Parties with respect to the relevant {{efetaprov|Allowance Transaction}}(s) will be suspended for the period of time and to the extent that such {{efetaprov|Force Majeure}} prevents their performance. During the continuation of {{efetaprov|Force Majeure}}, the {{efetaprov|Affected Party}}  shall continue to use all reasonable endeavours to overcome the {{efetaprov|Force Majeure}}. Subject to § {{efetaprov|7.4}} (''{{efetaprov|Settlement of Allowance Transaction Prevented by Force Majeure}}'') below, upon the {{efetaprov|Force Majeure}} event being overcome or it ceasing to subsist, both Parties will, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter (and in any event no later than the second {{efetaprov|Delivery Business Day}} following the cessation or Parties overcoming such {{efetaprov|Force Majeure}} event), resume full performance of their obligations under the Agreement in respect of the relevant {{efetaprov|Allowance Transaction}}(s) (including, [[For the avoidance of doubt]], any suspended obligations).  
:§ 7.3 '''{{efetaprov|Notification and Mitigation of Force Majeure}}'''. The first Party learning of the occurrence of an event of {{efetaprov|Force Majeure}} shall, as soon as practicable, notify the other Party of the commencement of {{efetaprov|Force Majeure}}. Each Party shall then undertake in good faith to determine, and notify the other Party with, to the extent then available, a non-binding estimate of the extent and expected duration of the {{efetaprov|Force Majeure}} event and its impact on performance of all {{efetaprov|Allowance Transaction}}(s) affected by the event of {{efetaprov|Force Majeure}}. The {{efetaprov|Affected Party}}  shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of {{efetaprov|Force Majeure}} and shall, during the continuation of {{efetaprov|Force Majeure}}, provide the other Party with reasonable updates, when and if available, of the extent and expected duration of its inability to perform. <br>
