a a credit agreement does not fall within the definition if the credit is in fact provided in such a way as to leave the borrower free to use it as the borrower chooses, even though certain uses would contravene that or any other agreement; and
b an agreement may fall within paragraph (b) of the definition even though the identity of the supplier is unknown at the time the agreement is made.
3 For the purposes of the definition of “borrower-lender agreement” and the definition of “borrower-lender-supplier agreement”, a credit agreement is, subject to paragraph (6), entered into under pre-existing arrangements between a lender and a supplier if it is entered into in accordance with, or in connection with, arrangements previously made between the lender (or the lender’s associate) and the supplier (or the supplier’s associate) unless the arrangements fall within paragraph (5).

4 Paragraphs 6 and 7 of Part 1: wholesale energy products that must be physically settled

1 This paragraph has effect for the purposes of paragraphs 6 and 7 of Part 1 of this Schedule.
2 A wholesale energy product must be physically settled where it satisfies all the following conditions—
a it contains provisions which ensure that parties to the wholesale energy product have proportionate arrangements in place to be able to make or take delivery of the commodity concerned;
b it establishes unconditional, unrestricted and enforceable obligations of the parties to the wholesale energy product to deliver and take delivery of the commodity concerned;
c it does not allow either party to replace physical delivery with cash settlement;
d the obligations under the wholesale energy product cannot be offset against obligations from other contracts between the parties concerned, without prejudice to the rights of the parties to the wholesale energy product to net their cash payment obligations.

5 In sub-paragraph (4), “operational netting” means any nomination of quantities of power and gas to be fed into a gridwork, upon being so required by the rules or requests of a transmission system operator for an entity performing an equivalent function to a transmission system operator at the national level, where the nomination of quantities is not at the discretion of the parties to the contract.
6 The existence of force majeure or bona fide inability to settle provisions does not prevent a contract from being considered as “physically settled”, and in this sub-paragraph—
a “force majeure” includes any exceptional event or set of circumstances which—
i is outside the control of the parties to the contract,
ii the parties to the contract could not have reasonably foreseen or avoided by the exercise of appropriate and reasonable due diligence, and
iii prevents one or both parties to the contract from fulfilling their contractual obligations;
b “bona fide inability to settle” includes any event or set of circumstances, not qualifying as force majeure as referred to in paragraph (a), which are objectively and expressly defined in the contractual terms, as a ground for one or both of the parties to the contract, acting in good faith, not to fulfil their contractual obligations.
7 The existence of a default clause providing that a party is entitled to financial compensation in the case of non-performance, or defective performance, of the contract does not prevent the contract from being considered as “physically settled”.
8 The delivery methods for a contract that is to be considered as “physically settled” must include at least—
a physical delivery of the commodity concerned itself,
b delivery of a document transferring ownership of the commodity concerned or the relevant quantities of the commodity concerned, or
c other methods of bringing about the transfer of ownership of the relevant quantity of the commodity concerned without physically delivering it, including notification, scheduling or nomination to the operator of an energy supply network, that entitles the recipient to the relevant quantity of the commodity concerned.

6 Paragraphs 7 and 10 of Part 1: exclusion of certain energy contracts

1 Where both the conditions in sub-paragraph (2) are met, a contract is to be treated—
a for the purposes of paragraph 7 of Part 1 of this Schedule, and of paragraph 5(1)(b) of this Part of this Schedule, as being for commercial purposes, and
b for the purposes of paragraphs 7 and 10 of Part 1 of this Schedule, as not having the characteristics of other derivative financial instruments.
2 Those conditions are—

3 A system is to be considered as having limited or no human intervention where, for any order or quote generation process or any process to optimise order-execution, an automated system makes decisions at any of the stages of initiating, generating, routing or executing orders or quotes according to pre-determined parameters.
4 A “high-frequency algorithmic trading technique” is an algorithmic trading technique characterised by—
a infrastructure intended to minimise network and other types of latencies, including at least one of the following facilities for algorithmic order entry—
i co-location,
ii proximity hosting, or
iii high-speed direct electronic access,

2 Sub-paragraphs (3) to (7) have effect for the purposes of the calculation in sub-paragraph (1).
3 The following are to be included in the calculation—
a messages concerning financial instruments for which there is a liquid market in accordance with Article 2(1)(17) of the markets in financial instruments regulation;
b messages introduced for the purpose of a market-making strategy that satisfies the criteria in sub-paragraph (4).
4 A market-making strategy satisfies the criteria in this sub-paragraph where the strategy—
a is pursued by an investment firm as a member or participant in one or more trading venues when dealing on own account, and
b involves posting firm, simultaneous two-way quotes of comparable size and at competitive prices relating to one or more financial instruments on a single trading venue or across different trading venues, with the result of providing liquidity on a regular and frequent basis to the overall market.
5 Messages introduced for the purpose of dealing on own account are to be included in the calculation.
6 Messages introduced through trading techniques other than those relying on dealing on own account are to be included in the calculation where the firm’s execution technique is structured in such a way as to avoid the execution taking place on own account.
7 For the calculation of a high message intraday rate in relation to direct electronic access providers, messages submitted by their clients with direct electronic access (as defined in paragraph 7) are to be excluded from the calculations.
