​

​

Section 6.11Further Assurances. After the Effective Date, Company and the Purchasers agree to execute and deliver such other documents, certificates, agreements and other writings and to take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary in order to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.12Security Interest. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Company shall not enter into any contracts or arrangement or otherwise knowingly take any action or knowingly fail to act in a manner that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Purchasers’ interest in the Revenue Participation Rights or the security interests granted hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents.

Section 6.13Certain Tax Matters.

(a)Notwithstanding the accounting treatment therefor and unless otherwise required by applicable Law, for all U.S. federal and applicable state and local tax purposes, Company and the Purchasers shall treat the Purchasers’ payment of the Purchase Price as received by Company in a taxable sale of the Revenue Participation Rights and not as an equity or debt interest in Company. The parties hereto agree not to take any position that is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 6.13(a) on any tax return or in any audit or other tax-related administrative or judicial proceeding unless otherwise required by applicable Law. If there is an inquiry by any Governmental Authority of the Seller or the Purchasers related to this Section 6.13, the parties hereto shall cooperate with each other in responding to such inquiry in a commercially reasonable manner consistent with this Section 6.13.

(b)Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, file all Tax returns required to be filed by or with respect to Company or any of its Subsidiaries and timely pay all Taxes imposed upon or with respect to it or any of its properties, assets, income, businesses or franchises before any penalty or fine accrues thereon, and all claims (including claims for labor, services, materials and supplies) for sums that have become due and payable and that by law have or may become a Lien upon any of its properties or assets, prior to the time when any penalty or fine shall be incurred with respect thereto; provided, no such Tax or claim need be paid if it is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and diligently conducted, so long as (a) adequate reserve or other appropriate provision, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made therefor, and (b) in the case of a Tax or claim which has or may become a Lien against any of the Collateral, such contest proceedings conclusively operate to stay imposition of any penalty, fine or Lien resulting from the non-payment thereof.  Company will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to  file or consent to the filing of any consolidated income tax return with any Person (other than Company or its Subsidiaries).

(c)Any and all payments by Company to the Purchasers shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by Company (a “Withholding Payment”), then Company shall be entitled to withhold and deduct (or cause to be withheld and deducted) from any amount payable under this Agreement to the Purchasers any Tax that it is required to withhold and deduct under applicable law and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law; provided that the amount payable by Company to the Purchasers shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Paragraph), the Purchasers receive an amount equal to the sum they would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made (such additional amount, the “Gross-Up Amount”); provided further that if a Withholding Payment is required as a result of (i) an assignment pursuant to Section 11.4 after the Effective Date or (ii) a Purchaser’s failure to provide an IRS Withholding Form pursuant to Section 6.13(d), then, in each case, Company shall not be obligated to pay the relevant Purchaser the Gross-Up Amount with respect

​

35

​

​

In the case of any Withholding Payment, Company shall furnish the Purchaser’s Representative with proper evidence of the taxes withheld and deducted and remitted to the relevant taxing authority. Company shall not take any position (including in any Tax return, filing or similar Tax matter or in any contract, license, sale, or similar agreement) that would require any Person making payments to Company to treat the Purchasers as the recipients of such payments for Tax purposes.  Company shall not provide any forms submitted to Company by Purchasers pursuant to Section 6.13(d) to any to any Third-Party (other than the IRS in connection with any applicable Tax audit, inquiry, or investigation of Company). Company and the Purchasers shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate any Withholding Payments in respect of payments made under this Agreement.

(d)On or before the Effective Date, the Purchaser’s Representative shall deliver one of the following with respect to each of the Purchasers: (i) IRS Form W-9, (ii) IRS Form W-8BEN-E claiming treaty benefits under a double taxation treaty in a manner qualifying for a zero percent (0%) withholding rate with respect to each of “royalties,” “interest,” and “other income,” (iii) IRS Form W-8IMY to which the forms set forth in the preceding (i) and (ii) are attached, or (iv) other applicable IRS Form W-8 that indicates no Withholding Payment is required (or, in each case, any successor or other applicable form prescribed by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service) (in each case ((i) through (iv)), the “IRS Withholding Form”).  The Purchaser’s Representative, from time to time after the Effective Date, whenever there is an assignment to a new Purchaser pursuant to Section 11.4, or there is a lapse in time (or change in circumstances) that renders the prior IRS Withholding Form provided hereunder obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, shall promptly deliver to Company a new and duly executed IRS Withholding Form of the relevant Purchaser.

(e)On or before the Effective Date, Company shall deliver to the Purchaser’s Representative a duly executed IRS Form W-9. Company, from time to time after the Effective Date, whenever there is a lapse in time (or change in circumstances) that renders such IRS Form W-9 provided hereunder obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, shall promptly deliver to the Purchaser’s Representative a new and duly Executed IRS Form W-9 (or other successor or other applicable form prescribed by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service) of Company.

Section 6.14Anti-Terrorism Laws.  Neither Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates [***] shall:

(a)conduct any business or engage in any transaction or dealing with any Blocked Person, including the making or receiving any contribution of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of any Blocked Person;

(b)deal in, or otherwise engage in any transaction relating to, any property or interests in property blocked pursuant to the OFAC Sanctions Programs; or

(c)engage in or conspire to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in the OFAC Sanctions Programs, the USA PATRIOT Act or any other Anti-Terrorism Law.

Company shall deliver to the Purchaser Representative any certification reasonably requested from time to time by the Purchaser Representative, confirming Company’s compliance with this Section 6.14.

promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Law.
