Regulatory Change Without limiting the effect of the provisions of Section 5.01(a), in the event that at any time (by reason of any Regulatory Change or any other circumstances arising after the Closing Date affecting (A) any Lender, (B) the London interbank market or (C) such Lender’s position in such market), the Adjusted LIBOR, as determined in good faith by such Lender, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding its LIBOR Loans, then, if such Lender so elects, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the obligation of such Lender to make additional LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change or other circumstances ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 5.04 shall be applicable).
CHANGE IN LAWS AND COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS Performing Agency shall comply with all laws, regulations, requirements and guidelines applicable to a vendor providing services and products required by the Contract to the State of Texas, as these laws, regulations, requirements and guidelines currently exist and as amended throughout the term of the Contract. System Agency reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend the Contract to incorporate any modifications necessary for System Agency’s compliance, as an agency of the State of Texas, with all applicable state and federal laws, regulations, requirements and guidelines.
Regulatory Changes If any legislative, regulatory, judicial or other legal action (other than an Amendment to the Act, which is provided for in Section 29.3) materially affects the ability of a Party to perform any material obligation under this Agreement, a Party may, on thirty (30) days written notice to the other Party (delivered not later than thirty (30) days following the date on which such action has become legally binding), require that the affected provision(s) be renegotiated, and the Parties shall renegotiate in good faith such mutually acceptable new provision(s) as may be required; provided that such affected provisions shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Agreement.
Relief for Change in Law 12.2.1 The aggrieved Party shall be required to approach the Appropriate Commission for seeking approval of Change in Law.
12.2.2 The decision of the Appropriate Commission to acknowledge a Change in Law and the date from which it will become effective, provide relief for the same, shall be final and governing on both the Parties.
No Change in Law Purchaser shall not have determined that the introduction of or a change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law has made it unlawful, and no Governmental Authority shall have asserted that it is unlawful, for Purchaser to enter into Transactions.
Change in Laws If the Lender shall determine that any change in any applicable law, regulation or guideline (including, without limitation, Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) or any new law, regulation or guideline, or any interpretation of any of the foregoing by any governmental authority charged with the administration thereof or any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority having jurisdiction over the Lender (whether or not having the force of law), shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against the Letters of Credit, or the Lender's or the Company's liability with respect thereto; or
(ii) impose on the Lender any penalty with respect to the foregoing or any other condition regarding this Agreement, the Applications or the Letters of Credit; and the Lender shall determine that the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost (whether by incurring a cost or adding to a cost) to the Lender of issuing or maintaining the Letters of Credit hereunder (without benefit of, or credit for, any prorations, exemptions, credits or other offsets available under any such laws, regulations, guidelines or interpretations thereof), then the Company shall pay on demand to the Lender from time to time as specified by the Lender such additional amounts as the Lender shall determine are sufficient to compensate and indemnify it for such increased cost. If the Lender makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide the Company a certificate setting forth the computation of the increased cost as a result of any event mentioned herein in reasonable detail and such certificate shall be conclusive if reasonably determined (absent manifest error).
Change in Legality (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:
(i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans, whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and
(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below. In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans.
Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality (a) If after the date hereof, any Managing Agent, Lender or any Affiliate thereof (each of which, an “Affected Party”) shall be charged any fee, expense or increased cost on account of any Change in Law, any accounting principles or any change in any of the foregoing, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, any central bank or any comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority or agency: (i) that subjects any Affected Party to any charge or withholding on or with respect to any Transaction Document or an Affected Party’s obligations under a Transaction Document, or on or with respect to the Advances, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Affected Party of any amounts payable under any Transaction Document (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of an Affected Party or taxes excluded by Section 2.13) or (ii) that imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of an Affected Party, or credit extended by an Affected Party pursuant to a Transaction Document or (iii) that imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to an Affected Party of performing its obligations under a Transaction Document, or to reduce the rate of return on an Affected Party’s capital as a consequence of its obligations under a Transaction Document, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under a Transaction Document or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it, then, upon demand by the applicable Managing Agent, Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for payment to the applicable Managing Agent for the benefit of the relevant Affected Party, such amounts charged to such Affected Party or such amounts to otherwise compensate such Affected Party for such increased cost or such reduction.
(b) If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in clause (a) of this Section 2.12, an Affected Party is required to compensate a bank or other financial institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support or financing to such Affected Party in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder, then within ten days after demand by such Affected Party, the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Affected Party for any such amounts paid by it.
(c) In determining any amount provided for in this section, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any Affected Party making a claim under this section shall submit to the Borrower a certificate as to such additional or increased cost or reduction, which certificate shall calculate in reasonable detail any such charges and shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.
Change in Law To the extent that a change in Delaware law (whether by statute or judicial decision) shall permit broader indemnification or advancement of expenses than is provided under the terms of the By-laws and this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to such broader indemnification and advancements, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to such extent.
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.
(b) At any time that any Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the Company may (and in the case of a Eurodollar Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) either (x) if the affected Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel the respective Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that the Company was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent and the affected Lender, require the affected Lender to convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan or repay such Loan in full; provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).
(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.
