Non-Escalation Unless otherwise specified within the RFP documents, the unit prices reflected on the contract shall remain firm with no provision for price increases during the term of the contract.
PRICE ESCALATION/DE-ESCALATION (CPI) The County may allow a price escalation provision within this award. The original contract prices shall be firm for an initial one (1) year period. A price escalation/de-escalation will be considered at one (1) year intervals thereafter, provided the Contractor notifies the County, in writing, of the pending price escalation/de-escalation a minimum of sixty (60) days prior to the effective date. Price adjustments shall be based on the latest version of the Consumers Price Index (CPI-U) for All Urban Consumers, All Items, U.S. City Average, non-seasonal, as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. This information is available at xxx.xxx.xxx. Price adjustment shall be calculated by applying the simple percentage model to the CPI data. This method is defined as subtracting the base period index value (at the time of initial award) from the index value at time of calculation (latest version of the CPI published as of the date of request for price adjustment), divided by the base period index value to identify percentage of change, then multiplying the percentage of change by 100 to identify the percentage change. Formula is as follows: Current Index – Base Index / Base Index = % of Change CPI for current period 232.945 Less CPI for base period 229.815 Equals index point change 3.130 Divided by base period CPI 229.815 Equals 0.0136 Result multiplied by 100 0.0136 x 100 Equals percent change 1.4% % of Change x 100 = Percentage Change CPI-U Calculation Example: A price increase may be requested only at each time interval specified above, using the methodology outlined in this section. To request a price increase, Contractor shall submit a letter stating the percentage amount of the requested increase and adjusted price to the Orange County Procurement Division. The letter shall include the complete calculation utilizing the formula above, and a copy of the CPI-U index table used in the calculation. The maximum allowable increase shall not exceed 4%, unless authorized by the Manager, Procurement Division. All price adjustments must be accepted by the Manager, Procurement Division and shall be memorialized by written amendment to this contract. No retroactive contract price adjustments will be allowed. Should the CPI-U for All Urban Consumers, All Items, U.S City Average, as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics decrease during the term of the contract, or any renewals, the Contractor shall notify the Orange County Procurement Division of price decreases in the method outlined above. If approved, the price adjustment shall become effective on the contract renewal date. If the Contractor fails to pass the decrease on to the County, the County reserves the right to place the Contractor in default, cancel the award, and remove the Contractor from the County Vendor List for a period of time deemed suitable by the County. In the event of this occurrence, the County further reserves the right to utilize any options as stated herein.
Escalation If parties are unable to resolve the issue in a timely manner, as specified above, either Sourcewell or Supplier may escalate the resolution of the issue to a higher level of management. The Supplier will have 30 calendar days to cure an outstanding issue.
Emergency Escalation Escalation is strictly for purposes of notifying and investigating possible or potential issues in relation to monitored services. The initiation of any escalation and the subsequent cooperative investigations do not in themselves imply that a monitored service has failed its performance requirements. Escalations shall be carried out between ICANN and Registry Operators, Registrars and Registry Operator, and Registrars and ICANN. Registry Operators and ICANN must provide said emergency operations departments. Current contacts must be maintained between ICANN and Registry Operators and published to Registrars, where relevant to their role in escalations, prior to any processing of an Emergency Escalation by all related parties, and kept current at all times.
Sustainability Adjustments (a) DEI may deliver a Pricing Certificate to the Administrative Agent in respect of the most recently ended calendar year on any date prior to the date that is 120 days following the last day of such calendar year (the date the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof, each a “Pricing Certificate Date”), which DEI may or may not do, in its sole discretion. If DEI so delivers a Pricing Certificate in respect of a calendar year, (i) the Applicable Percentage for the Revolving Loans incurred by DEI shall be increased or decreased (or neither increased nor decreased), as applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Margin Adjustment as set forth in the KPI Metrics Certificate delivered with such Pricing Certificate, and (ii) the Applicable Percentage for the Facility Fee for Commitments under the DEI Sublimit shall be increased or decreased (or neither increased nor decreased), as applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Fee Adjustment as set forth in such KPI Metrics Certificate. If no Pricing Certificate is so delivered in respect of a calendar year, the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment in respect of such calendar year shall be determined pursuant to Section 1.7(c). For purposes of the foregoing, (A) if a Pricing Certificate is so delivered for any calendar year, the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment shall be determined as of the fifth Business Day following the Pricing Certificate Date for such Pricing Certificate based upon the KPI Metrics for such calendar year set forth in the KPI Metrics Certificate delivered with such Pricing Certificate and the calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment in such KPI Metrics Certificate and (B) if no Pricing Certificate is so delivered in respect of such calendar year, the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment shall be determined pursuant to Section 1.7(c) effective as of the Business Day immediately following the date that is 120 days following the last day of such calendar year (such fifth (5th) Business Day or such Business Day, as applicable, each a “Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date”). Each change in the Applicable Percentages on any Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date shall be effective during the period commencing on and including such Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date and ending on the date immediately preceding the next Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date.
(b) For the avoidance of doubt, only one Pricing Certificate (or, in the case of non-delivery of a Pricing Certificate, zero Pricing Certificates) may be delivered in respect of any calendar year. It is further understood and agreed that the Applicable Percentage for Revolving Loans incurred by DEI will never be reduced or increased by more than 0.05% and that the Applicable Percentage for the Facility Fee for Commitments under the DEI Sublimit will never be reduced or increased by more than 0.01%, pursuant to the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment, respectively, on any Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment to the Applicable Percentages for such Revolving Loans or such Facility Fee by reason of meeting one or several KPI Metrics in any calendar year shall not be cumulative year-over-year. The adjustments pursuant to this Section made on any Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date shall only apply for the period until the date immediately preceding the next Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date.
(c) It is hereby understood and agreed that if no such Pricing Certificate with respect to a calendar year is delivered by DEI within the period set forth in this Section 1.7, the Sustainability Margin Adjustment will be positive 0.05% and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment will be positive 0.01% commencing on the last day of such period and continuing until the day immediately prior to the next Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date.
(d) If (i)(A) a Borrower or any Lender becomes aware of any material inaccuracy in the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, the Sustainability Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics as reported in a Pricing Certificate (any such material inaccuracy, a “Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy”) and, in the case of any Lender, such Lender delivers, not later than 10 Business Days after obtaining knowledge thereof, a written notice to the Administrative Agent describing such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy in reasonable detail (which description shall be shared with each Lender and the Borrowers), or (B) the Borrowers and the Lenders agree that there was a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy at the time of delivery of a Pricing Certificate, and (ii) a proper calculation of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, Sustainability Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics would have resulted in an increase in the Applicable Percentages for the Revolving Loans incurred by DEI and the Facility Fee for Commitments under the DEI Sublimit for any period, the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (or any comparable event under non-U.S. debtor relief laws), automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), but in any event within 10 Business Days after the Borrowers have received written notice of, or have agreed in writing that there was, a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy, an amount equal to the excess of (1) the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over (2) the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. If a Borrower becomes aware of any Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy and, in connection therewith, if a proper calculation of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, Sustainability Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics would have resulted in a decrease in the Applicable Percentages for the Revolving Loans incurred by DEI and the Facility Fee for Commitments under the DEI Sublimit for any period, then, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of notice from the Borrowers of such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy (which notice shall include corrections to the calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, Sustainability Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics, as applicable), commencing on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, the Applicable Percentages for the Revolving Loans incurred by DEI and the Facility Fee for Commitments under the DEI Sublimit shall be adjusted to reflect the corrected calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, Sustainability Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics, as applicable.
(e) It is understood and agreed that any Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default; provided, that, the Borrowers comply with the terms of this Section 1.7 with respect to such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless such amounts shall be due upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to a Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (or any comparable event under non-U.S. debtor relief laws), (a) any additional amounts required to be paid pursuant the immediate preceding paragraph shall not be due and payable until the date that is 10 Business Days after a written demand is made for such payment by the Administrative Agent in accordance with such paragraph, (b) any nonpayment of such additional amounts prior to or upon such demand for payment by Administrative Agent shall not constitute a Default (whether retroactively or otherwise) and (c) none of such additional amounts shall be deemed overdue prior to the date that is 10 Business Days after such a demand or shall accrue interest at the rate provided in Section 3.1(b) prior to the date that is 10 Business Days after such a demand.
(f) Each party hereto hereby agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agent shall have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by any Borrower of any Sustainability Margin Adjustment or Sustainability Fee Adjustment (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any Pricing Certificate (and the Administrative Agent and the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry).
(g) As soon as available and in any event within 120 days following the end of each calendar year (commencing with the calendar year ending December 31, 2021), a Pricing Certificate for the most recently-ended calendar year may be provided by DEI as set forth in this Section 1.7; provided, that, for any calendar year the Borrowers may elect not to deliver a Pricing Certificate, such election shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default (but such failure to so deliver a Pricing Certificate by the end of such 120-day period shall result in the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and Sustainability Fee Adjustment being applied as set forth in Section 1.7(c).
(h) In the event Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries acquire or divest a business, facility or Subsidiary with Capacity in excess of 100MW, the Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Target and the Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Threshold shall be adjusted to account for such acquisition or divestiture such that the Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Target and the Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Threshold remain neutral to such acquisition or disposition in a manner and methodology that are the same as those used in determining the original Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Target and the Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Threshold. The Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a certificate that (i) calculates in reasonable detail such adjusted Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Target and Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Threshold and (ii) restates Exhibit 1.7-1 with such adjusted amounts, and, if Lenders constituting Required Lenders have not objected to such adjusted Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Target and Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Threshold within 5 Business Days of such delivery, then Exhibit 1.7-1 shall be deemed amended to reflect such adjusted Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Target and Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Threshold.

If Tenant, on or before the date which is ten (10) days following the date upon which Tenant receives Landlord’s determination of the Option Rent, in good faith objects to Landlord’s determination of the Option Rent, then Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon the Option Rent using their best good-faith efforts.
