– End of Application –

An Agent Participant is appointed by one or more Appointing Participants to act as agent for the Appointing Participants under and in connection with the Auction Agreement. Where an Appointing Participant is also party to the Exchange Agreement, unless otherwise agreed with AEMO, the Appointing Participant must at all times have appointed the same Agent Participant under the CTA Procedures and Agent Member under the Exchange Agreement.

A joint appointment means that the Agent Participant must act on behalf of all the Appointing Participants jointly and not act for any Appointing Participants individually and any changes to the Agent Participant or the Appointing Participants must be approved by all of the parties and the Agent Participant can only participate in the Exchange in its capacity as Agent Participant under the joint appointment. If it is not a joint appointment (such as a company in a corporate group acting as agent for other companies in the corporate group), the Agent Participant may act for each Appointing Participant individually and an Appointing Participant may change its agent without needing approval of other Appointing Participants that have appointed the same agent. In both cases though, in relation to an Agent Participant and its Appointing Participants the obligations of the Appointing Participants are joint and several obligations of those Appointing Participants.

A Trading Participant who is a party to a capacity transfer at a DWGM interface point (as defined in the CTA Procedures) may nominate a person at that point to use the capacity, in the Trading Participant’s capacity as agent for that person.

Type ‘Head Office’ or name of branch
