| Optional Interest Deferral: | Interest which accrues during an Interest Period will be due and payable on the relevant Interest Payment Date, unless the Issuer elects, in its sole discretion, to defer the relevant payment of interest (in whole or in part). The Issuer may, at its discretion, elect to defer any payment of interest (in whole or in part) which is otherwise scheduled to be paid on an Interest Payment Date; provided that any such deferred interest shall become due and payable on the date the Issuer declares any distributions on any of the Issuer’s common shares or preferred shares. If the Issuer elects not to make all or part of any payment of interest on an Interest Payment Date, then neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor will have any obligation to pay such interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date. Deferred interest will accrue, compounding on each subsequent Interest Payment Date, until paid. Such deferral will not constitute an Event of Default or any other breach under the Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees. | |
| First Call Date: | December 9, 2026 | |
| Optional Redemption: | At any time on or after December 9, 2026, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. | |
| Optional Rating Event Redemption: | At any time, within 180 days following the occurrence of a Rating Event, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem all (but not less than all) of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 102% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. | |
| Optional Tax Redemption: | At any time, after the occurrence of a Tax Event, subject to applicable laws, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Notes (in whole but not in part) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the relevant redemption date. | |
| Use of Proceeds: | The Partnership intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to finance and/or refinance investments made in renewable power generation assets or businesses and to support the development of clean energy technologies that constitute Eligible Investments, including (1) the potential redemption of the Partnership’s Class A Preferred Limited Partnership Units, Series 5, and (2) the potential redemption of the Partnership’s Class A Preferred Limited Partnership Units, Series 11, which are redeemable at the option of the Partnership on April 30, 2022. The proceeds of any such securities to be redeemed had been used, directly or indirectly, to finance Eligible Investments. In addition, any net proceeds of this offering that are not used for such redemptions will be used, directly or indirectly, to finance Eligible Investments. Pending the allocation of an amount equal to the net proceeds of the Notes to finance or refinance Eligible Investments, the unallocated portion of the net proceeds may be temporarily used for the repayment of the Partnership’s outstanding indebtedness. | |
