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.
§ 7.4 Settlement of Allowance Transaction Prevented by Force Majeure.
 
(a) Termination for Force Majeure. Where Force Majeure continues for a period of time ending on the earlier to occur of: (a) a period of nine (9) Delivery Business Days from the date that, but for Force Majeure, would have been the Delivery Date of the relevant Allowance Transaction(s); (b) the Reconciliation Deadline; or (c) the day which falls three (3) Delivery Business Days prior to the End of Phase Reconciliation Deadline, either Party may, by written notice to the other Party, terminate all (but not less than all) of the Allowance Transaction(s) affected by Force Majeure.
(b) Force Majeure Termination Payment. In the event and to the extent that an Allowance Transaction is terminated in accordance with § 7.4(a), the Parties’ corresponding Transfer and acceptance of Transfer obligations under the terminated Allowance Transaction(s) shall be released and discharged. By specifying in Part II of this Allowances Appendix which of the following subparagraphs (i), (ii) or (iii) they wish to be operative, the Parties shall designate the consequences that will follow as a result of the Force Majeure event and what, if any, rights and obligations they wish to apply between them in the event of termination of an Allowance Transaction due to Force Majeure:
(i) No Termination Payment. No Termination Payment or other financial settlement obligation shall be applicable (other than, For the avoidance of doubt, payment for any Allowances Transferred under such Allowance Transaction which were not prevented due to Force Majeure and/or payment of any damages due for non-performance of any portion of the terminated Allowance Transaction not excused due to Force Majeure (hereinafter collectively, “Unpaid Amounts”) and each Party shall be permanently released and discharged of any further obligations with respect to the Allowance Transaction terminated by reason of Force Majeure.
(ii) Two-Way Market Quotation Termination Payment. Each Party shall obtain three (3) mid-market quotations from Dealers for replacement Allowance Transaction(s) on the same terms as the unperformed portion(s) of the relevant Allowance Transaction(s) affected by Force Majeure (without taking into account the current credit-worthiness of the requesting Party or any Credit Support Documents or other Performance Assurance between the Parties). Each Party will then calculate the average of the quotations it obtained and the amount payable shall be equal to: (A) the sum of (i) one half of the difference between the higher amount determined by one Party (“X”) and the lower amount determined by the other Party (“Y”) and (ii) any Unpaid Amounts owing to X; less (B) any Unpaid Amounts owing to Y. If the resultant amount is a positive number, Y shall pay it to X; if it is a negative number, X shall pay the absolute value of such amount to Y. If the three (3) mid-market quotations cannot be obtained, all quotations will be deemed to be zero (0) and no payment shall be due in respect of the termination of such Allowance Transaction.
(iii) Two-Way Loss Termination Payment. Each Party will determine its Loss in respect of the relevant Allowance Transaction(s) and an amount will be payable equal to one half of the difference between the Loss of the Party with the higher Loss (“X”) and the Loss of the Party with the lower Loss (“Y”). If the amount payable is a positive number, Y will pay it to X; if it is a negative number, X will pay the absolute value of such amount to Y.
Payments due under this § 7.4(b) shall, unless otherwise agreed, be invoiced and made in accordance with the requirements of the Payment Cycle selected by the Parties in respect of § 13.2 (Payment).
