(b) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.

(iii) impose on any Lender or any L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; and the result of any of the fgoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or such L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or a L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Availability Reserves All Revolving Loans otherwise available to Borrower pursuant to the lending formulas and subject to the Maximum Credit and other applicable limits hereunder shall be subject to Lender's continuing right to establish and revise Availability Reserves.
Reserve Percentage For any Interest Period, that percentage which is specified three (3) Business Days before the first day of such Interest Period by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) or any other governmental or quasi-governmental authority with jurisdiction over Agent or any Lender for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including, but not limited to, any marginal reserve requirement) for Agent or any Lender with respect to liabilities constituting of or including (among other liabilities) Eurocurrency liabilities in an amount equal to that portion of the Loan affected by such Interest Period and with a maturity equal to such Interest Period.
Debt Service Reserve On or before July 1, 2011, a portion of the unused Term Revolving Loan Commitment (in an amount equal to three monthly payments of principal and interest due under the Term Loan) shall be restricted for use as set forth in this Section 2.22, which amount may vary from time to time due to changes in monthly principal and interest payments due on the Term Loan, but shall at no time be less than the next three monthly payments of principal and interest due on the Term Loan (the “Required Debt Service Reserve Amount”). If at any time during the term of this Agreement, the amount of the Term Revolving Loan Commitment restricted for use as the Required Debt Service Reserve Amount is less than the next three monthly payments of principal and interest due under the Term Loan, the Borrowers shall: (A) no later than five (5) Business Days after such non-compliance occurs, prepay the Term Revolving Loan in an amount equal to the amount by which the sum of the Required Debt Service Reserve Amount and all outstanding Term Revolving Loan Advances exceed the Term Revolving Loan Commitment, (B) during the period Borrower has not fulfilled (A) above, make no Distributions, including Distributions or payments otherwise permitted under Sections 5.02(b), 5.02(k) or 5.02(l), and (C) make no other payments to its Affiliates, including accounts payable or other amounts. As and when any Obligation is past due, after any applicable grace or cure periods have expired, the Agent in its sole discretion, may make one or more Advances on the Term Revolving Loan for credit to its own account to be held for the benefit of the Banks in the amount of the then past due Obligation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent shall have no obligation to make any such Advance: (i) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or (ii) for any purpose other than that for which the Debt Service Reserve was established; provided, however, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Agent in its sole discretion may make Advances on the Term Revolving Loan for the payment of any Obligation then past due in such order and manner as is consistent with the Agent’s obligations set forth in this Agreement. Advances made on the Term Revolving Loan by the Agent under this Section 2.22, may be made without the requirement of any consent by or notice to the Borrowers. Borrowers recognize and acknowledges that its obligation to pay required Obligations are absolute and unconditional and it is not dependent upon the Debt Service Reserve being available to make payment on any Obligation, and nothing herein shall be construed to negate or modify the Borrowers’ absolute and unconditional obligation to pay the Obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
FUNDING AVAILABILITY This Contract is contingent upon the continued availability of funding. If funds become unavailable through the lack of appropriations, legislative or executive budget cuts, amendment of the Appropriations Act, state agency consolidation or any other disruptions of current appropriations, DFPS will reduce or terminate this Contract.
Changes in Law Rendering LIBOR Loans Unlawful If any change in, or the adoption of any new, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation of any applicable law or regulation by any governmental or other regulatory body charged with the administration thereof, should make it (or in the good faith judgment of any Lender cause a substantial question as to whether it is) unlawful for any Lender to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Loans, then such Lender shall promptly notify each of the other parties hereto and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (a) such Lender shall have no obligation to make or convert any Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan (but shall make Base Rate Loans concurrently with the making of or conversion of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans by the Lenders which are not so affected, in each case in an amount equal to the amount of LIBOR Loans which would be made or converted into by such Lender at such time in the absence of such circumstances) and (b) on the last day of the current Interest Period for each LIBOR Loan of such Lender (or, in any event, on such earlier date as may be required by the relevant law, regulation or interpretation), such LIBOR Loan shall, unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan. Each Base Rate Loan made by a Lender which, but for the circumstances described in the foregoing sentence, would be a LIBOR Loan (an “Affected Loan”) shall remain outstanding for the period corresponding to the Group of LIBOR Loans of which such Affected Loan would be a part absent such circumstances.
Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein other than Section 2.14(c), if after the date of this Agreement any change in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of the principal of or interest on any Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender or any Fees or other amounts payable hereunder (other than changes in respect of taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Lender by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or by any political subdivision or taxing authority therein), or shall 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 such Lender (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the LIBO Rate or the Base CD Rate) or shall impose on such Lender or the London interbank market or other market in which Lenders ordinarily raise dollars to fund Loans of the requested Type any other condition 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 funding, making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then Alcoa will pay or cause the other Borrowers to pay to such Lender upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the applicability of any law, rule, regulation, agreement or guideline adopted after the date of this Agreement pursuant to the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled "International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards", or the adoption after the date hereof of any other law, rule, regulation, agreement or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any of the foregoing or in the interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any lending office of such Lender) or any Lender's holding company 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 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 pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender's holding company could have achieved but for such applicability, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's policies and the policies of such Lender's holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time Alcoa shall pay or cause the other Borrowers to pay to such Lender 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 each Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above, as the case may be, together with a statement of reasons for such demand and showing the calculation for such amounts shall be delivered to Alcoa and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Alcoa shall pay or cause to be paid to each Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same.
(d) Except as provided in this paragraph, failure on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any other period. The protection of this Section 2.12 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed. No Lender shall be entitled to compensation under this Section 2.12 for any costs incurred or reductions suffered with respect to any date unless it shall have notified Alcoa that it will demand compensation for such costs or reductions under paragraph (c) above not more than 60 days after the later of (i) such date and (ii) the date on which it shall have or reasonably should have become aware of such costs or reductions. In the event a Borrower shall reimburse any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any cost and the Lender shall subsequently receive a refund in respect thereof, the Lender shall so notify such Borrower and shall pay to such Borrower the portion of such refund which it shall determine in good faith to be allocable to the cost so reimbursed.
