Increased Costs (a) If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or (ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition (other than one relating to Excluded Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. (b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. (c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Lead Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
Increased Costs, Etc (a) In the event that, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage) in or in the interpretation or administration of any applicable law or regulation after the Closing Date, (ii) the compliance with any applicable guideline or request from the NAIC or any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) or (iii) any other circumstance affecting the interbank Eurodollar market or the position of any Lender Party in such market which leads such Lender Party to reasonably determine that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advance made by such Lender Party will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lender of making, funding or maintaining such Eurodollar Rate Advance for such Interest Period, there shall be any increase in the cost to or reduction in the amount received or receivable by any Lender Party as a result 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 (A) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.12 shall govern) and (B) 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 or has its Lending Office 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 (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender Party, in its reasonable discretion, shall determine) 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 Lending Office for any Advances affected by such event if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost that may thereafter accrue; provided that such designation is made on terms that such Lender Party and its Lending Office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of this subsection (a). A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost and showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender Party at the time of demand, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. (b) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation or administration of any applicable law or regulation after the Closing Date or (ii) the compliance with any applicable 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 amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender Party or any corporation controlling such Lender Party which has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender Party’s capital or assets as a result of or based upon the existence of such Lender Party’s commitments and obligations under this Agreement to a level below that which such Lender Party could have achieved but for such change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender Party’s or any corporation controlling such Lender Party’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon demand by such Lender Party (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, it being understood and agreed that a Lender Party shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Lender Party’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any such law, regulation, guideline or request in effect on the Closing Date. Any amount payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be payable only to the extent that such Lender Party reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender Party’s commitment to lend or to issue Letters of Credit hereunder or to the issuance or maintenance of any Letters of Credit. A certificate as to such amounts and showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof submitted to the Borrower by such Lender Party at the time of demand shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. (c) 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 Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advance affected by circumstances described in this subsection (c), the Borrower will, and with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advance affected by circumstances described in subsections (a) or (b) above, the Borrower may, either (i) on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, convert each Eurodollar Rate Advance affected by such circumstances into a Base Rate Advance or (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Advance is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by a Lender Party pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) above or this subsection (c) (as applicable); provided that if more than one Lender Party is affected at any time, then all affected Lender Parties must be treated in the same manner pursuant to this Section 2.10(c). In the event of an illegality as described in this subsection (c) 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 Party agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Lending Office for any Advances affected by such event if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender Party or its Lending Office to continue to perform its obligations to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances; provided that such designation is made on terms that such Lender Party and its Lending Office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of this subsection.
