“Force Majeure” in the context of an Allowance Transaction means the occurrence of an event or circumstance beyond the control of the Party affected by Force Majeure (the “Affected Party”) that cannot, after using all reasonable efforts, be overcome and which makes it impossible for the Affected Party to perform its Transfer or acceptance of Transfer obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the relevant Emissions Trading Scheme. For the avoidance of doubt, but without limitation, Force Majeure shall not include an event or circumstance where there are insufficient Allowances in the relevant Holding Account(s) to effect the required Transfer, whether that insufficiency is caused by the low or non-allocation of Allowances from a Member State or a Non-Member State, the delay or failure of a Member State or Central Administrator to replace Allowances of the Third Compliance Period with Allowances for the Fourth Compliance Period or the failure of that Party to procure sufficient Allowances to meet its Transfer obligations. If an event or circumstance which would otherwise constitute or give rise to Force Majeure also constitutes a Suspension Event, it will be treated as a Suspension Event and will not constitute a Force Majeure event.
Settlement Disruption Event: Means an event or circumstance beyond the control of the party affected that cannot, after the use of all reasonable efforts, be overcome and which makes it impossible for that party to perform its obligations either to deliver or to accept Allowances in accordance with the terms of an EU Emissions Allowance Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, the inability of a party to deliver Allowances as a result of insufficient Allowances in the relevant Specified Holding Account, whether caused by the low or non-allocation of Allowances by a Member State or any other state, the delay or failure of a Member State or Central Administrator to replace Allowances of the Third Compliance Period with Allowances for the Fourth Compliance Period, or the failure of a party to procure sufficient Allowances to meet its delivery obligations, shall not constitute a Settlement Disruption Event. This is not an exhaustive list of events which will not constitute a Settlement Disruption Event and is provided for the avoidance of doubt only. If an event or circumstance which would otherwise constitute or give rise to a Settlement Disruption Event also constitutes a Suspension Event, it will be treated as a Suspension Event and will not constitute a Settlement Disruption Event.
