facility, both maturing in 2028. The full amount of the loan was drawn on December 3, 2021. Interest on the loan will be based on the one-month London InterBank Offered Rate plus a specified margin, payable monthly, and the principal will be partially amortizing on a monthly basis. Upon funding of the loan, NEP Renewables entered into interest rate swaps to hedge against interest rate movements with respect to interest payments on the loan. The loan is secured by all of the assets of, and the equity interests in, NEP Renewables and its subsidiaries, which includes renewable energy projects with a combined generating capacity of approximately 973 MW. The loan agreement contains default and related acceleration provisions for the failure to make required payments, failure to comply with certain covenants, certain bankruptcy-related events, and other actions by NEP Renewables or other parties as specified in the loan agreement.
