Target structure and setting Sample Clauses

Target structure and setting. Another creative feature of the CCA is its two-tier structure: the combination of sector targets and individual targets. This structure, as well as the target negotiation, reporting, and enforcement processes, have also brought the sector associations into the centre of the scheme. Rather than relying on direct government-company interactions, the sector associations smooth operations and communication processes; enhance administrative efficiency; and offer sector-specific expertise, e.g. the identification of cost-effective mitigation potentials. Despite these various positive effects, cautious attitude must be taken, especially regarding their role in the target negotiations and target setting because they could also play a lobbying role in protecting the companies under them (who wish to avoid ‘environmental policy burdens’). Target setting is critical to ensure the overall environmental effectiveness, so the following elements are important to consider: • Type of targets: As described previously, CCA allows targets to be expressed in terms of energy or carbon and as either absolute or relative. In practice, the vast majority of CCAs are set as energy intensity targets. Given that the UK defines its reduction goals in terms of carbon budgets, it could be argued that there should be a greater push towards absolute carbon targets. That being said, there is no direct link between stringency and the type of target,44 so the key is still to ensure stringency. • Stringency of targets: Stringency is demonstrated by the difference between the target level and ‘business-as-usual’ level of the relevant sectors or facilities. In CCAs, targets are negotiated between industry and the government. Some studies have demonstrated the potential for improvement in CCA target stringency (NAO, 2007; Xxxxxxxx and Xx Xxxxxx, 2006; Xxxxxx et al., 2014). • Importance of data and third-party analysis: The collection of concrete and credible data and information regarding sector activities, trends, mitigation potential and costs, best available technologies, etc., to inform target setting is very important. The involvement of independent third-party actors with high qualifications, and sector or technical experts, e.g. in forms of expert committee or advisory group (see more in the sub-section of ‘monitor and enforcement’) are also critical along the implementation phase of the policy as data quality needs to be continuously ensured). • Long-term certainty: CCAs include end-of-sc...

  • NATURE AND SCOPE 4.1 This Agreement is an agreement under the terms and conditions of which the Supplier/Service Provider will arrange for the supply/provision to Transnet of the Goods/Services which meet the requirements and specifications of Transnet, the delivery of which is controlled by means of Purchase Orders to be issued by Transnet and executed by the Supplier/Service Provider in accordance with this Agreement. 4.2 Such Purchase Orders and deliveries to Transnet shall be agreed between the Parties from time to time, subject to the terms of the Schedule of Requirements/Work Order. 4.3 Each properly executed Purchase Order forms an inseparable part of this Agreement as if it were fully incorporated into the body of this Agreement. 4.4 During the period of this Agreement, both Parties can make written suggestions for amendments to the Schedule of Requirements/Work Orders in accordance with procedures set out in clause 35 [Amendment and Change Control]. A Party will advise the other Party within 14 [fourteen] Business Days, or such other period as mutually agreed, whether the amendment is acceptable. 4.5 Insofar as any term, provision or condition in the Schedule of Requirements/Work Order conflicts with a like term, provision or condition in this Agreement and/or a Purchase Order, the term or provision or condition in this Master Agreement shall prevail, unless such term or provision or condition in this Master Agreement has been specifically revoked or amended by mutual written agreement between the Parties. 4.6 Time will be of the essence and the Supplier/Service Provider will perform its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the timeframe(s) [if any] set out in the relevant schedule, save that the Supplier/Service Provider will not be liable under this clause if it is unable to meet such obligation within the time required as a direct result of any act or omission by Transnet and it has used its best endeavours to advise Transnet of such act or omission. In the event of such delay, any time deadlines detailed in the relevant schedule shall be extended by a period equal to the period of that delay.

  • Nature and Scope of Guaranty 1.1 The Guarantor, jointly and severally (if executed by more than one person), irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Lender, its successors and assigns, the payment of the Debt and the payment and performance of all the Obligations, subject to the recourse limitations of Paragraphs 8 and 9 of the Note. This Guaranty is a primary and absolute obligation of the Guarantor. 1.2 Guarantor will make all payments hereunder in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds without set-off, counterclaim or defense. 1.3 Guarantor's liability hereunder shall remain unchanged irrespective of any invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any other guaranty, pledge, assignment or other security for the Debt or Obligations, and without regard to any claim, counterclaim, set-off or defense which Borrower, any other guarantor, surety or obligor might be privileged to assert with respect to the validity, legality or enforceability of the Debt or Obligations and irrespective of any present or future law or order of any government or any agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise affect any obligation of the Borrower or of any other guarantor, surety or other obligor or to vary the terms of payment of the Debt or the terms of any of the Obligations. If for any reason whatsoever (including but not limited to ultra xxxxx, lack of authority, illegality, force majeure, act of God or impossibility) the Debt or the Obligations cannot be enforced against Borrower, such unenforceability shall in no manner affect the liability of Guarantor hereunder and Guarantor shall be liable hereunder notwithstanding that Borrower may not be liable for such Debt or such Obligations. 1.4 The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Borrower relative to the Debt and Obligations, and a separate action or actions for payment, damages or performance may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor, or any of them should there be more than one, regardless of whether an action is or could be brought against Borrower, any security for the Debt and/or any of the Obligations or any other party obligated to pay the Debt and/or pay or perform any of the Obligations. Guarantor will not be privileged to assert, and hereby waives the right to assert, in any action(s) by Lender against Guarantor any defense, set-off or counterclaim which Borrower or any other obligor might then be privileged to assert. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that, as between Guarantor and the Lender, the Debt and Obligations guaranteed hereunder may be declared to be due and payable for purposes of this Guaranty notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition arising from the filing of a voluntary or an involuntary bankruptcy petition by or against Borrower, or otherwise, which may prevent or delay any such declaration as against the Borrower. In addition, in the event that Borrower does not or is unable so to pay the Debt or perform the Obligations for any reason, including, without limitation, liquidation, dissolution, receivership, conservatorship, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, sale of all or substantially all assets, reorganization, arrangement, composition, or readjustment of, or other similar proceedings affecting the status, composition, identity, existence, assets or obligations of Borrower, or the disaffirmance or termination of any of the Debt or Obligations in or as a result of any such proceeding, Guarantor shall pay the Debt and perform the Obligations and no such occurrence shall in any way affect Guarantor's obligations hereunder. 1.5 If any claim is ever made upon Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount received by Lender in payment or on account of the Debt and/or any of the Obligations by virtue of such amount having been a preference under applicable bankruptcy laws or for any other reason and Lender repays all or part of said amount pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over Lender or any of its property or any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by Lender with any such claimant (including but not limited to the Borrower or any other guarantor), then any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon the Guarantor, and, notwithstanding any prior satisfaction or cancellation of this Guaranty, of the Note or any other instrument evidencing the Debt and any of the Obligations, this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, and the Guarantor shall be and remain liable to Lender hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by Lender. Such amount shall be paid by Guarantor to Lender on demand. 1.6 This Guaranty shall automatically remain in effect for a period of one hundred (100) days after the date on which all of the Debt and Obligations are last fully paid and performed, and, if no bankruptcy petition is filed against Borrower within ninety (90) days after such date, then, in that event this Guaranty shall be deemed to have been canceled as of the aforesaid date on which all of the Debt and Obligations were last fully paid and performed, subject to being automatically reinstated for the reasons stated in Subsection 1.5 above. If, however, a bankruptcy petition is filed by or against the Borrower during said ninety (90) day period, this Guaranty shall continue in effect unless and until a final, non-appealable decision by a court of competent jurisdiction has been rendered or an agreement has been entered or reached pursuant to which Lender shall be entitled to retain all monies paid by Borrower to Lender. If Lender is obligated to return to the Borrower, to the estate of the Borrower or to a bankruptcy trustee for the Borrower any monies previously paid by the Borrower, then this Guaranty shall continue in effect and Guarantor, as provided in Subsection 1.5 above, shall continue to be liable to Lender for repayment of such monies.
