Excess Emissions Penalty/EEP: Has the meaning given to it in the Directive.


EEP Amount: Means an amount (expressed as an amount per Allowance) that Receiving Party determines, acting in good faith and using commercially reasonable procedures, to be its total losses and costs which result from Delivering Party’s failure to deliver the Shortfall to the extent that those losses and costs are not reflected elsewhere in the definition of Receiving Party’s Replacement Cost and to the extent that those losses and costs relate to:

(1) any Excess Emission Penalty which Receiving Party must pay to the Relevant Authority in accordance with the terms of the Scheme; and/or
(2) if “EEP Equivalent” is specified to be applicable in the Annex to this Part [7] or the Confirmation for the relevant EU Emissions Allowance Transaction, any amount which Receiving Party must pay to a third party in respect of any such penalty payable to any other party (including a Relevant Authority) by that third party as a result of Delivering Party’s failure to deliver the Shortfall.

EEP Non-delivery: Has the meaning given to such term in Part (d)(xi) (Failure to Deliver (Alternative Method) – EEP Applicable).


EEP Risk Period: Means, in respect of an EU Emissions Allowance Transaction and any Delivery Date, a period of time prior to the first succeeding Reconciliation Deadline, as specified in the related Confirmation.


(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.
