Increased Costs, Illegality, etc (a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent): (i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Eurodollar Rate; (ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Loan which such Lender deems to be material because of any change since the date of this Agreement in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (a “Change in Law”), which (A) changes the basis of taxation of payment to any Lender of the principal of or interest on such Loan or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for (I) changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or profits of such Lender, or any franchise tax based on the net income or profits of such Lender, in either case pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which such Lender’s principal office or applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein and (II) Taxes for which a payment is required pursuant to Section 4.04(a)), (B) with respect to Eurodollar Loans, changes official reserve requirements (but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate) and/or (C) with respect to Eurodollar Loans, imposes any other condition affecting such Lender or the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in such market; or (iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any Change in Law, (y) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental request made after the date of this Agreement (whether or not having force of law) or (z) impracticable as a result of a Change in Law which materially and adversely affects the London interbank market; then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i)) shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Company and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion given by the Company with respect to Eurodollar Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the Company, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Company agrees to pay to such Lender, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing the basis for the calculation thereof, based on averaging and attribution methods among customers which are reasonable, submitted to the Company by such Lender in good faith shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Company shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

(c) If any Lender shall have determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such other corporation’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s Commitment or Loans hereunder or its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such other corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such other corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, upon written demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), accompanied by the notice referred to in the penultimate sentence of this clause (c), the Company agrees to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such other corporation for such reduction. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Company (a copy of which shall be sent by such Lender to the Administrative Agent), which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish the Company’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice except as provided in Section 2.14. A Lender’s reasonable good faith determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto.
Increased Costs and Reduced Return (a) If any Lender, any Agent or the L/C Issuer shall have determined that any Change in Law shall (i) subject such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, or any Person controlling such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to this Agreement or any Loan made by such Agent or such Lender or any Letter of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Person controlling such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer of any amounts payable hereunder (except for Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes), (ii) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against any Loan, any Letter of Credit or against assets of or held by, or deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Person controlling such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer or (iii) impose on such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Person controlling such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer any other condition regarding this Agreement or any Loan or Letter of Credit, and the result of any event referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall be to increase the cost to such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer of making any Loan, issuing, guaranteeing or participating in any Letter of Credit, or agreeing to make any Loan or issue, guaranty or participate in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder, then, upon demand by such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrowers shall pay to such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer such additional amounts as will compensate such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer for such increased costs or reductions in amount; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.10(a), it shall be a condition to a Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s exercise of its rights, if any, under this Section 2.10(a) that such Lender or L/C Issuer shall generally be exercising similar rights with respect to borrowers under similar agreements. (b) If any Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have determined that any Change in Law either (i) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Person controlling such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, and such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a direct or indirect consequence of any Loans made or maintained, Letters of Credit issued or any guaranty or participation with respect thereto, such Agent’s, such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s or such other controlling Person’s other obligations hereunder, or (ii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Agent’s, such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s such other controlling Person’s capital to a level below that which such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such circumstances as a consequence of any Loans made or maintained, Letters of Credit issued, or any guaranty or participation with respect thereto or any agreement to make Loans, to issue Letters of Credit or such Agent’s, such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s or such other controlling Person’s other obligations hereunder (in each case, taking into consideration, such Agent’s, such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s or such other controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon demand by such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrowers shall pay to such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer from time to time such additional amounts as will compensate such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer for such cost of maintaining such increased capital or such reduction in the rate of return on such Agent’s, such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s or such other controlling Person’s capital; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.10(b), it shall be a condition to a Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s exercise of its rights, if any, under this Section 2.10(b) that such Lender or L/C Issuer shall generally be exercising similar rights with respect to borrowers under similar agreements. (c) All amounts payable under this Section 2.10 shall bear interest from the date that is ten (10) days after the date of demand by any Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer until Payment in Full to such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer at the Reference Rate. A certificate of such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer claiming compensation under this Section 2.10, specifying the event herein above described and the nature of such event shall be submitted by such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer to the Administrative Borrower, setting forth the additional amount due and an explanation of the calculation thereof, and such Agent’s, such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s reasons for invoking the provisions of this Section 2.10, and shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error. (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.10 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Agent’s, Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 days period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). (e) The obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section 2.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
Unallowable Costs Defined All costs (as defined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation, 48 C.F.R. § 31.205-47; and in Titles XVIII and XIX of the Social Xxxxxxxx Xxx, 00 X.X.X. §§ 0000-0000xxx-0 and 1396-1396w-5; and the regulations and official program directives promulgated thereunder) incurred by or on behalf of Pfizer, its present or former officers, directors, employees, shareholders, and agents in connection with: (1) the matters covered by this Agreement; (2) the United States’ audit(s), and any civil or criminal investigations of the matters covered by this Agreement; (3) Pfizer’s investigation, defense, and corrective actions undertaken in response to the United States’ audit(s) and any civil or criminal investigation(s) in connection with the matters covered by this Agreement (including attorney’s fees); (4) the negotiation and performance of this Agreement; (5) the payment Pfizer makes to the United States pursuant to this Agreement; and (6) the negotiation of, and obligations undertaken pursuant to the CIA to: (i) retain an independent review organization to perform annual reviews as described in Section III of the CIA; and (ii) prepare and submit reports to the OIG-HHS, are unallowable costs for government contracting purposes and under the Medicare Program, Medicaid Program, TRICARE Program, and Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (“FEHBP”) (hereinafter referred to as Unallowable Costs). However, nothing in paragraph 8.a.(6) that may apply to the obligations undertaken pursuant to the CIA affects the status of costs that are not allowable based on any other authority applicable to Pfizer.
Increased Costs, Etc (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender Party of agreeing to make or of making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances (excluding, for purposes of this Section 2.10, any such increased costs resulting from (y), Taxes described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.12 shall govern) and (z) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender Party is organized, has its Applicable Lending Office or otherwise has current or former connections (other than such connections arising from such Lender Party’s having executed, delivered, became a party to, performed its obligations under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transactions pursuant to, or enforced any Loan Documents, or sold or assigned any interest in any Obligations or Loan Document) or any political subdivision thereof), then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party for such increased cost; provided, however, that a Lender Party claiming additional amounts under this Section 2.10(a) agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender Party, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as amended, and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued shall be deemed an introduction or change of the type referred to in subclause (i) of this Section 2.10(a). (b) If any Lender Party determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender Party or any corporation controlling such Lender Party and that the amount of such capital or such liquidity requirement is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender Party’s commitment to lend hereunder and other commitments of such type (or similar contingent obligations), then, upon demand by such Lender Party or such corporation (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party, from time to time as specified by such Lender Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender Party reasonably determines such increase in capital or increase in liquidity to be allocable to the existence of such Lender Party’s commitment to lend hereunder. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower by such Lender Party shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as amended, and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements or the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) shall be deemed an introduction or change of the type referred to in Section 2.10(a) and this Section 2.10(b). (c) If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (i) each such Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist; provided, however, that, before making any such demand, such Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to continue to perform its obligations to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
Increased Costs and Reduction of Return (a) If any Lender determines that, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance by that Lender with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Offshore Rate Loan or participating in Letters of Credit, or, in the case of the Issuing Lender, any increase in the cost to the Issuing Lender of agreeing to issue, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any unpaid drawing under any Letter of Credit, then the Company shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, upon demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased costs. (b) If any Lender shall have determined that (i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by the Lender (or its Lending Office) or any corporation controlling the Lender with any Capital Adequacy Regulation, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by the Lender or any corporation controlling the Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender's desired return on capital) that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitments, loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, upon demand of such Lender to the Company through the Administrative Agent, the Company shall pay to the Lender, from time to time as specified by the Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Lender (or such corporation) for such increase.
