Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality. (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, to the extent already included in the Eurocurrency Rate Reserve Percentage) 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 Bank of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Advances or TIBO Rate Advances, then the applicable Borrower shall from time to time, upon written demand by such Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Bank additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank for such increased cost; provided, that (x) such Bank shall have certified in writing to the applicable Borrower that it is generally seeking, or intends to generally seek, comparable compensation from similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities (to the extent such Bank has the right under such similar credit facilities to do so) with respect to such change regarding such increased cost and (y) such additional amounts shall not be duplicative of any amounts to the extent otherwise paid by the applicable Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any reserve requirements included in determining the Eurocurrency Rate). A certificate describing in reasonable detail the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrowers and the Agent by such Bank, shall create a rebuttable presumption of such increased cost. If any such increase in cost is attributable to specific Advances made to a particular Borrower, compensation for such increased cost shall be paid by such Borrower (or if such Borrower is CIF or CFKK, by CFSC). In all other cases, compensation for such increased cost shall be paid by Caterpillar. (b) If any Bank 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 Bank or by any Person controlling such Bank and that the amount of such capital or liquidity requirement is increased by or based upon the existence of such Bank’s Advances or commitment to lend hereunder, then, upon written demand by such Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), the applicable Borrower shall immediately pay to the Agent for the account of such Bank, from time to time as specified by such Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank (or, if applicable, such Person controlling such Bank) in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Bank reasonably determines such increase in capital or liquidity requirement to be allocable to the existence of such Bank’s commitment to lend hereunder; provided, that (x) such Bank shall have certified in writing to the applicable Borrower that it is generally seeking, or intends to generally seek, comparable compensation from similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities (to the extent such Bank has the right under such similar credit facilities to do so) with respect to such change regarding such increased cost and (y) such additional amounts shall not be duplicative of any amounts to the extent otherwise paid by the applicable Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any reserve requirements included in determining the Eurocurrency Rate). A certificate describing in reasonable detail such amounts submitted to the applicable Borrower by such Bank shall create a rebuttable presumption of such amounts. If any such increase in capital or liquidity requirement is attributable to specific Advances made to a particular Borrower or to the Allocated Commitments to a particular Borrower or Borrowers, compensation for such increase in capital or liquidity requirement shall be paid by such Borrower (or if such Borrower is CIF or CFKK, by CFSC). In all other cases, compensation for such increased capital or liquidity requirement shall be paid by Caterpillar.

(d) If the Majority Banks (or the Majority Local Currency Banks, as applicable) shall, at least one (1) Business Day before the requested date of, or the proposed Conversion, Redenomination or continuation of the Advances comprising all or part of, any requested Revolving Credit Borrowing, Term Loan Borrowing or Local Currency Borrowing (or on the date of such Local Currency Borrowing, in the case of a Same Day Local Currency Borrowing), notify the Agent that the Eurocurrency Rate for Eurocurrency Rate Advances comprising such Borrowing will not adequately reflect the cost to such Majority Banks (or such Majority Local Currency Banks, as applicable) of making or funding their respective Eurocurrency Rate Advances for such Revolving Credit Borrowing, Local Currency Borrowing or Term Loan Borrowing, the Agent shall so notify the Borrowers, and (1) each such outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into (or if such Advance is then a Base Rate Advance, shall continue as), and with respect to a requested Advance as part of a requested Borrowing, such Advance shall be, a Base Rate Advance, and (2) the right of the requesting Borrower to select the Eurocurrency Rate for such Borrowing, and the right of any Borrower to Convert Advances into, or continue Advances as, Eurocurrency Rate Advances, or to select the Eurocurrency Rate for any subsequent Borrowing, shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Banks that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and each Advance comprising such Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Advance. (e) If the Majority Japan Local Currency Banks shall, at least one (1) Business Day before the requested date of, or the proposed Conversion or continuation of the Advances comprising all or part of any requested Japan Local Currency Borrowing (or on the date of such Borrowing if it is being requested on a same-day basis), notify the Japan Local Currency Agent that the TIBO Rate for TIBO Rate Advances comprising such Borrowing will not adequately reflect the cost to such Majority Japan Local Currency Banks of making or funding their respective TIBO Rate Advances for such Japan Local Currency Borrowing, the Japan Local Currency Agent shall so notify CFKK and (1) each such outstanding TIBO Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert (or if such Advance is then a Japan Base Rate Advance, shall continue as), and with respect to a requested Japan Local Currency Advance as part of a requested Borrowing, such Japan Local Currency Advance shall be a Japan Base Rate Advance, and (2) the right of CFKK to select the TIBO Rate for such Borrowing, and the right of CFKK to Convert Advances into, or continue Advances as, TIBO Rate Advances, or select the TIBO Rate for any subsequent Borrowing, shall be suspended until the Japan Local Currency Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Japan Local Currency Banks that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and each Advance comprising such Borrowing shall be a Japan Base Rate Advance. (f) In the event that a Bank (an “Affected Bank”) either demands payment from any Borrower at any time pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 2.10 or fails to consent to any extension of the Current Termination Date requested by the Borrowers under Section 2.16, then from such time and for so long thereafter as such Bank remains an Affected Bank, the Borrowers may either (1) terminate such Affected Bank’s Commitment hereunder or (2) replace such Affected Bank with another bank or banks acceptable to the Agent (the consent of the Agent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time, (ii) in the case of clause (2), the Affected Bank and the replacement bank(s) execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance and such other documents, agreements and instruments as the Agent may reasonably require in order to effectuate the assumption by such replacement bank(s) of the Affected Bank’s obligations hereunder, and (iii) the Affected Bank has been paid all amounts due to it hereunder. In no event shall the replacement of an Affected Bank impair or otherwise affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower or Borrowers to make the payments demanded by such Affected Bank pursuant to this Section 2.10 and, if applicable, Section 8.04(b).

A certificate describing in reasonable detail such amounts submitted to the applicable Borrower by such Bank shall create a rebuttable presumption of such amounts.
