As to any information contained in materials furnished pursuant to Section 6.02(f), the Borrower shall not be separately required to furnish such information under Section 6.01(a) or (b) above, but the foregoing shall not be in derogation of the obligation of the Borrower to furnish the information and materials described in Sections 6.01(a) and (b) above at the times specified therein.

The Budget delivered during the week of March 4, 2024 shall be the Approved Budget for March 2024. Together with delivery of the Budget, Administrative Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent (for subsequent delivery to the Lenders) a variance report (“Variance Report”) in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Required DDTL Approving Lenders, comparing the actual receipts, disbursements, and net cash flow for such month through the immediately preceding week compared to the Approved Budget, both in dollar ($) and percentage (%) figures and an explanation of the variance. Each week promptly after the delivery of the Variance Report, the Borrower’s senior management and financial professionals shall review the Variance Report in detail during a telephonic conference with the Lenders. If the proposed Budget was timely delivered and contains the requisite information, the Lenders shall have until 2:00 p.m. (New York City Time) on the first Business Day of the following week to review any Budget after which time such Budget shall become an Approved Budget for all purposes hereunder; provided, no such Budget shall become an Approved Budget if reasonably objected to in writing (which may include e-mail) during the review period by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required DDTL Approving Lenders) or Required DDTL Approving Lenders.
(b) In the event that an event or circumstance occurs in between the monthly dates on which the Budgets are otherwise due pursuant to Section 6.24(a) which would make the then current Budget materially inaccurate, within two (2) Business Days of becoming aware of such event or circumstance, the Administrative Borrower shall provide notice of such event or circumstance to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and promptly deliver a revised Budget reflecting the impact thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, the Budget shall be updated, modified or supplemented by the Administrative Borrower with the written consent of the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required DDTL Approving Lenders), and upon the request of the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required DDTL Approving Lenders) from time to time.
(c) Each Budget delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be accompanied by such supporting documentation as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required DDTL Approving Lenders) and shall be prepared in good faith, with due care and based upon assumptions the Borrower believe to be reasonable.
(d) Within one (1) Business Day of any Loan Party having knowledge of their occurrence or existence, Administrative Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent and Lenders with written notice of any event or condition which is reasonably likely to entail expenditures of more than $100,000 which is not included in the Approved Budget (including, but not limited, on account of an accident, environmental event or other unanticipated occurrence) or which would otherwise be reasonably likely to have a negative impact on the value of the Loan Parties’ and their Subsidiaries’ assets or future business prospects or a similar event.
Business Plan The Lenders shall have received a satisfactory business plan for fiscal years 1999-2006 and a satisfactory written analysis of the business and prospects of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the period from the Closing Date through the final maturity of the Term Loans.
Annual Budget Prior to the Closing Date, Borrower has submitted and Lender has approved an Annual Budget for the 2014 calendar year (the “Approved Initial Budget”). Borrower shall submit to Lender by November 1 of each year the Annual Budget relating to the Properties for the succeeding calendar year. During the continuance of a Cash Sweep Period, Lender shall have the right to approve each Annual Budget (which approval shall not be unreasonably, conditioned or delayed withheld so long as no Event of Default is continuing). An Annual Budget approved by Lender during a Cash Sweep Period or any Annual Budget submitted prior to the commencement of a Cash Sweep Period, shall each hereinafter be referred to as an “Approved Annual Budget”. In the event of a Transfer of any Property the Approved Annual Budget shall be reduced as reasonably determined by Lender in consultation with Borrower in order to reflect the removal of such Property and the Operating Expenses associated therewith; provided, further, that no such reduction shall be made in the event such Transfer is made in connection with a substitution under Section 2.4.2(a). If Lender has the right to approve an Annual Budget pursuant to this Section 4.3.2, neither Borrower nor Manager shall change or modify the Annual Budget that has been approved by Lender without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as no Event of Default is continuing). The “Monthly Budgeted Amount” for each Payment Date shall mean the monthly amount set forth in the Approved Annual Budget for Operating Expenses for the Interest Period related to such Payment Date, but excluding management fees, Property Taxes that are required to be deposited into the Tax Subaccount pursuant to Section 6.1 and Insurance Premiums that are required to be deposited into the Insurance Subaccount pursuant to Section 6.2. If during any Cash Sweep Period, Borrower has submitted an Annual Budget and such Annual Budget has not been approved prior to the commencement of the calendar year to which such budget relates then the previous Approved Annual Budget shall continue to be deemed to be the Approved Annual Budget for that calendar year.
Capital Budget Any amendment that is mutually agreed upon shall be set forth in writing and signed by both parties. It is acknowledged by Owner that capital expenditures required as a result of an emergency situation shall not reduce amounts available pursuant to the Capital Budget or otherwise hereunder, other than to the extent a Capital Budget item is subsumed within the capital expenditures required as a result of the occurrence of the emergency;
Operating Budgets (i) The Borrowers shall, not later than thirty (30) days before the Commercial Operation Date for any Plant, adopt an Operating Budget with respect to such Plant and an updated aggregate Operating Budget for the Project from such date to the conclusion of the calendar year immediately following the then-current calendar year and provide a copy of such operating plan and budget at such time to the Administrative Agent.
(ii) No less than sixty (60) days in advance of the beginning of each calendar year with respect to each Plant that has achieved its Commercial Operation Date, the Borrowers shall similarly adopt an operating plan and a budget setting forth in reasonable detail the projected requirements for Operation and Maintenance Expenses and Maintenance Capital Expenses for the ensuing two (2) calendar years for each Plant that has achieved its Commercial Operation Date and an aggregate operating plan and budget for the Project and provide a copy of each such operating plan and budget at such time to the Administrative Agent. (Each such operating plan and budget is herein called an "Operating Budget").
(iii) Each Operating Budget shall include the same items and detail as provided in the Financial Model and be prepared in accordance with a form similar to the Madera Operating Budget delivered on the Closing Date (or a form otherwise approved by the Administrative Agent) and shall become effective upon approval of the Administrative Agent (acting in consultation with the Consultants if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that such consultation is necessary or desirable). The Administrative Agent's approval of such updated Operating Budgets shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(iv) If the Borrowers have not adopted an annual Operating Budget covering the applicable two-year period for each Plant that has achieved its Commercial Operation Date and for the Project before the beginning of any calendar year following the Madera Funding or any Operating Budget adopted by the Borrowers has not been accepted by the Administrative Agent before the beginning of any upcoming calendar year, the Operating Budget for each relevant Plant for the preceding calendar year shall, until the adoption of an annual Operating Budget by the Borrowers and acceptance of such Operating Budget by the Administrative Agent, be deemed to be in force and effective as the annual Operating Budget for such Plant for such upcoming calendar year; provided that if the initial Operating Budget for any Plant is not approved by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers may use a budget for such Plant that is consistent with the Financial Model until an initial Operating Budget is approved, and the Borrowers shall work diligently to prepare an initial Operating Budget for each Plant that is acceptable to the Administrative Agent.
(v) If either the actual Operation and Maintenance Expenses or Maintenance Capital Expenses for any Fiscal Quarter is in excess of the applicable Permitted Operating Budget Deviation Levels, the Borrowers may deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Consultants a proposed updated Operating Budget(s), which shall be subject to approval by the Administrative Agent. Such proposed updated Operating Budget(s) shall not become effective until approved by the Administrative Agent.
(vi) Each Operating Budget delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 7.01(j) shall be accompanied by a memorandum addressing all material deviations from the Financial Model.
