(c) Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section), but excluding Lender Taxes and taxes in lieu of United States withholding taxes that are considered excluded from Taxes pursuant to subsection (e) below, imposed on or paid by the Lenders and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses that do not arise from any Lender’s failure to give timely notice thereof or request payment pursuant to this Section) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date any Lender makes written demand therefor.

(d) As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes to a taxing authority by a Borrower, such Borrower shall furnish to the Lenders, at the address referred to in Section 5.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment.

(e) In the event that a Lender is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes the Lender, and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by the Borrowers (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrowers with two original duly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or reduction in United States federal withholding tax), as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement. If the form provided by such Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate, or if no form is provided and such Lender is not entitled to any reduction in United States

8

withholding tax all United States withholding taxes, shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until the Lender provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such form; provided, however, that, if at the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which a Lender assignee becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender assignor was entitled to payments under subsection (a) above in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender assignee on such date.

(f) For any period with respect to which any Lender has failed to provide the Borrowers with the appropriate form described in subsection (e) above (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided, or if such form otherwise is not required under subsection (e) above), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) above with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should such Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrowers shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

(g) If a Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to subsection (a) above, then such Lender shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to change its jurisdiction so as to eliminate or minimize any such additional payment by such Borrower that may thereafter accrue, if such change is deemed by such Lender, in its sole discretion, to be not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
