(b)           Each Tranche B Term Lender party hereto has delivered or shall deliver herewith to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as such Tranche B Term Lender party hereto may be required to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent pursuant to Subsection 4.11 of the Credit Agreement.
