Capital Adequacy Clause Samples
The Capital Adequacy clause requires a party, typically a financial institution, to maintain a minimum level of capital as a condition of the agreement. This clause ensures that the party remains financially stable and capable of meeting its obligations, often referencing regulatory standards or specific financial ratios. By mandating sufficient capital reserves, the clause protects counterparties from the risk of default due to insolvency, thereby promoting confidence and stability in the contractual relationship.

Capital Adequacy. If, after the Closing Date, the Lender has determined that the adoption or effectiveness of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Lender or its holding company with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s or its holding company’s capital as a consequence of its commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which the Lender or its holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Lender’s or its holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon notice from the Lender, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or its holding company for such reduction. Each determination by the Lender of amounts owing under this Section shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to pay to the Lender amounts otherwise owing under this Section 2.5 if the Lender shall not have delivered such written notice to the Borrower within ninety (90) days following the later of (i) the date of occurrence of the event which forms the basis for such notice and request for compensation and (ii) the date the Lender becomes aware of such event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lender agrees that, before giving any notice seeking a payment under this Section 2.5, it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different office, branch or Affiliate of the Lender as the office, branch or Affiliate of the Lender having the commitments and obligations of the Lender hereunder if making such designation would avoid or reduce the amount of such reduction in its rate of return on its capital or assets and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to the Lender.

Capital Adequacy. (a) In the event that Agent or any Lender shall have determined that any applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Agent or any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.9, the term "Lender" shall include Agent or any Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Agent or any Lender) and the office or branch where Agent or any Lender (as so defined) makes or maintains any Eurodollar Rate Loans 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 Agent or any Lender's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Agent or such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Agent's and each Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Agent or any Lender to be material, then, from time to time, Borrowers shall pay upon demand to Agent or such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Agent or such Lender for such reduction. In determining such amount or amounts, Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods. The protection of this Section 3.9 shall be available to Agent and each Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability with respect to the applicable law, regulation or condition.
(b) A certificate of Agent or such Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate Agent or such Lender with respect to Section 3.9(a) hereof when delivered to Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Capital Adequacy. If any Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent determines that any Change in Law has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Credit Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s then existing policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity requirement and assuming full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent to be material, then such Lender or the Administrative Agent may notify the Borrower of such fact. To the extent that the amount of such reduction in the return on capital is not reflected in the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate then the Borrower agrees to pay such Lender or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent for the amount of such reduction in the return on capital as and when such reduction is determined upon presentation by such Lender or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent of a certificate in accordance with §4.9 hereof, provided that the Borrower shall not be liable to any Lender or the Administrative Agent for costs incurred more than sixty (60) days prior to receipt by the Borrower of the notice referred to in the immediately preceding sentence from such Lender or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall allocate such cost increases among its customers in good faith and on an equitable basis.
Capital Adequacy. If any Lender has determined that the adoption or becoming effective, after the date hereof, of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein (after the date hereof), or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its parent corporation) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's (or parent corporation's) capital or assets as a consequence of its commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender (or its parent corporation) could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's (or parent corporation's) policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon notice from such Lender (which shall include the basis and calculations in reasonable detail supporting the compensation requested in such notice), and receipt by the Borrowers of such written notice from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent) the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender on an after tax basis (after taking into account applicable deductions and credits in respect of the amount so indemnified) for such reduction provided that no such amount shall be payable with respect to any period commencing more than 90 days prior to the date such Lender first notifies the Borrowers of its intention to demand compensation therefor under this Section. Each determination by any Lender of amounts owing under this Section 4.2 shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto. The covenants of this Section 4.2 shall survive termination of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Capital Adequacy. If (1) the adoption, after the date hereof, of any applicable governmental law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, (2) any change, after the date hereof, in the interpretation or administration of any such law, rule or regulation by any central bank or other governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or (3) compliance by the Liquidity Provider or any corporation controlling the Liquidity Provider with any applicable guideline or request of general applicability, issued after the date hereof, by any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) that constitutes a change of the nature described in clause (2), has the effect of requiring an increase in the amount of capital required to be maintained by the Liquidity Provider or any corporation controlling the Liquidity Provider, and such increase is based upon the Liquidity Provider's obligations hereunder and other similar obligations, the Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity Provider from time to time such additional amount or amounts as are necessary to compensate the Liquidity Provider for such portion of such increase as shall be reasonably allocable to the Liquidity Provider's obligations to the Borrower hereunder. The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Facility Office if making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any amount payable under this Section that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider. The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Liquidity Provider to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.02 as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the calculation of the amounts owed under this Section. Determinations by the Liquidity Provider for purposes of this Section 3.02 of the effect of any increase in the amount of capital required to be maintained by the Liquidity Provider and of the amount allocable to the Liquidity Provider's obligations to the Borrower hereunder shall be prima facie evidence of the amounts owed under this Section. Notwithstanding the preceding tw...

(a) the Agent, the Bank or the Issuing Bank which is affected by any of the conditions described above shall notify the Borrower, and any such affected Bank or the Issuing Bank shall notify the Agent of such event, together with the date thereof, the amount of such reduced rate of return and the way in which such amount has been calculated; and

Capital Adequacy. If after the date hereof any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, or (b) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s commitment to make Loans or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify the Borrower thereof. The Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender the amount of such reduction in the return on capital as and when such reduction is determined, upon presentation by such Lender of a statement of the amount setting forth the Lender’s calculation thereof.
