SECTION 2.09 Increased Costs;
Capital Adequacy . (a) If, due to either
(i) the introduction of or any change (including, without
limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve
requirements) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation
(including, without limitation, any law or regulation resulting in
any interest payments paid to a Lender under this Agreement being
subject to United States withholding tax) 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 the Lender or any
Affiliate, successor or assign or participant thereof (each of
which shall be an “ Affected Party ”) of
agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loan (or any
reduction of the amount of any payment (whether of principal,
interest, fee, compensation or otherwise) to any Affected Party
hereunder), as the case may be, the Borrower shall, from time to
time, within ten days after written demand complying with
Section 2.09(c) by the Lender, on behalf of such
Affected Party, pay to the Lender, on behalf of such Affected
Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected
Party for such increased costs or reduced payments.
(b) If
either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the
interpretation of any law, guideline, rule or regulation,
directive, request or accounting principle or (ii) the
compliance by any Affected Party with any law, guideline, rule,
regulation, directive, request or accounting principle from any
central bank, other governmental authority, agency or accounting
authority (whether or not having the force of law), including,
without limitation, compliance by an Affected Party with any
request or directive regarding capital adequacy, has or would have
the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any
Affected Party, as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or
any related document or arising in connection herewith or therewith
to a level below that which any such Affected Party could have
achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance (taking
into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect
to capital adequacy), by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to
be material, then, from time to time, after demand by such Affected
Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting
forth the basis of such demand), the Lender shall be paid, on
behalf of such Affected Party (from Collections with respect to
Pledged Receivables pursuant to, and subject to the priority of
payment set forth in, Section 2.04 ), such additional
amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such
reduction.
(c) In
determining any amount provided for in this
Section 2.09 , the Affected Party may use any
reasonable averaging and attribution methods. The
Lender, on behalf of any Affected Party making a claim under this
Section 2.09 , shall submit to the Borrower a
certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and
the computations of such additional or increased costs, which
certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable
error.
(d) If, as
a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in
Section 2.09(a) or 2.09(b) , any Affected Party
(that is a Lender) is required to compensate a bank or other
financial institution (including, without limitation, any Affiliate
of Morgan Stanley) providing liquidity support, credit enhancement
or other similar support to such Affected Party in connection with
this Agreement, then, upon demand by such Affected Party, the
Borrower shall pay, in accordance with Section 2.04 ,

necessary to reimburse such Affected Party for any amounts paid by
it, and shall notify each Qualified Swap Counterparty of such
payment.
