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.
Certain Determinations (a) For purposes of determining compliance with any of the covenants set forth in Article V or Article VI (including in connection with any Incremental Facility) at any time (whether at the time of incurrence or thereafter), any Lien, Investment, Indebtedness, Disposition, Restricted Payment or Affiliate transaction meets the criteria of one, or more than one, of the categories permitted pursuant to Article V or Article VI (including in connection with any Incremental Facility), the Borrower (i) shall in its sole discretion determine under which category such Lien (other than Liens with respect to the Initial Term Loans), Investment, Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness consisting of the Initial Term Loans), Disposition, Restricted Payment or Affiliate transaction (or, in each case, any portion thereof) is permitted and (ii) shall be permitted, in its sole discretion, to make any redetermination and/or to divide, classify or reclassify under which category or categories such Lien, Investment, Indebtedness, Disposition, Restricted Payment or Affiliate transaction is permitted from time to time as it may determine and without notice to the Administrative Agent or any Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, if the applicable date for meeting any requirement hereunder or under any other Loan Document falls on a day that is not a Business Day, compliance with such requirement shall not be required until noon on the first Business Day following such applicable date.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, any Total Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Senior Secured First Lien Net Leverage Ratio and/or Interest Coverage Ratio) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with any such financial ratio or test (any such amounts, the “Incurrence Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts (and any cash proceeds thereof) shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence Based Amounts in connection with such substantially concurrent incurrence, except that incurrences of Indebtedness and Liens constituting Fixed Amounts shall be taken into account for purposes of Incurrence Based Amounts other than Incurrence Based Amounts contained in Section 7.01 or Section 7.02.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the ABL/Bond Intercreditor Agreement shall be deemed to be reasonable and acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be deemed to have consented to the use of any such ABL/Bond Intercreditor Agreement (and to the Administrative Agent’s execution thereof) in connection with any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred, issued and/or assumed by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 7.01.

Aggravating and Mitigating Factors The penalties in this matter were determined in consideration of all relevant circumstances, including statutory factors as described in CARB’s Enforcement Policy. CARB considered whether the violator came into compliance quickly and cooperated with the investigation; the extent of harm to public health, safety and welfare; nature and persistence of the violation, including the magnitude of the excess emissions; compliance history; preventative efforts taken; innovative nature and the magnitude of the effort required to comply, and the accuracy, reproducibility, and repeatability of the available test methods; efforts to attain, or provide for, compliance prior to violation; action taken to mitigate the violation; financial burden to the violator; and voluntary disclosure. The penalties are set at levels sufficient to deter violations, to remove any economic benefit or unfair advantage from noncompliance, to obtain swift compliance, and the potential costs, risks, and uncertainty associated with litigation. Penalties in future cases might be smaller or larger depending on the unique circumstances of the case.
