By Covered California. In the event that any law or regulation is enacted or any decision, opinion, interpretive policy, or guidance of a court or governmental agency is issued (any of the foregoing, a “Change in Law”) that Covered California determines, based on its consultation with legal counsel, regulators or other state-based or Federal health benefit exchanges: (i) affects or may affect the legality of this Agreement or any provision hereof or cause this Agreement or any provision hereof to prevent or hinder compliance with laws, rules or regulations, or (ii) adversely affects or may adversely affect the operations of Covered California or the ability of Covered California or Contractor to perform its respective obligations hereunder or receive the benefits intended hereunder, Covered California may, by written notice to Contractor, amend this Agreement to comply with or otherwise address the Change in Law in a manner reasonably determined by Covered California to carry out the original intent of the parties to the extent practical in light of such Change in Law. Such amendment shall become effective upon sixty (60) days’ notice, or such lesser period as required for compliance or consistency with the Change in Law or to avoid the adverse effect of the Change in Law. If Contractor objects to such amendment, it must notify Covered California in writing within twenty (20) days of receipt of notice from Covered California. If the parties are unable to agree on an amendment within thirty (30) days thereafter, Covered California may terminate this Agreement effective immediately.
