Common use of Illegality or Impossibility Clause in Contracts

Illegality or Impossibility. If Section 9.1 becomes applicable, unless prohibited by law, the Party which has been prevented, hindered or delayed from performing shall, as a condition to its right to designate a close-out and liquidation of any affected Currency Obligation or Option, use all reasonable efforts (which will not require such Party to incur a loss, excluding immaterial, incidental expenses) to transfer as soon as practicable, and in any event before the earlier to occur of the expiration date of the affected Options or twenty (20) days after it gives notice under Section 9.1, all its rights and obligations under the Agreement in respect of the affected Currency Obligations and Options to another of its Designated Offices so that such force majeure, act of state, illegality or impossibility ceases to exist. Any such transfer will be subject to the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent will not be withheld if such other Party's policies in effect at such time would permit it to enter into transactions with the transferee Designated Office on the terms proposed, unless such transfer would cause the other Party to incur a material tax or other cost. PARTIES TO RELY ON THEIR OWN EXPERTISE Each Party will be deemed to represent to the other Party on the date on which it enters into an FX Transaction or Option that (absent a written agreement between the Parties that expressly imposes affirmative obligations to the contrary for that FX Transaction or Option): (i)(A) it is acting for its own account, and it has made its own independent decisions to enter into that FX Transaction or Option and as to whether that FX Transaction or Option is appropriate or proper for it based upon its own judgment and upon advice from such advisors as it has deemed necessary; (B) it is not relying on any communication (written or oral) of the other Party as investment advice or as a recommendation to enter into that FX Transaction or Option, it being understood that information and explanations related to the terms and conditions of an FX Transaction or Option shall not be considered investment advice or a recommendation to enter into that FX Transaction or Option; and (C) it has not received from the other Party any assurance or guarantee as to the expected results of that FX Transaction or Option; (ii) it is capable of evaluating and understanding (on its own behalf or through independent professional advice), and understands and accepts, the terms, conditions and risks of that FX Transaction or Option; and (iii) the other Party is not acting as a fiduciary or an advisor for it in respect of that FX Transaction or Option.
