Each payment by the Transferor under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to any Affected Person shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law imposed by an Official Body. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount of deducted or withheld Taxes to the relevant Official Body in accordance with Applicable Law. If any such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the amount payable by the Transferor shall be increased as necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the applicable Affected Person receives an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Transferor .

As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by or on behalf of the Transferor to an Official Body pursuant to this Section 12.04, the Transferor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and each applicable Class Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Class Agent. (d) Indemnification by the Transferor . The Transferor shall indemnify each Affected Person receiving any payment under any Transaction Document for any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts paid or payable under this paragraph) payable or paid by such Affected Person or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Affected Person and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. The indemnity under this paragraph shall be paid by the Transferor beginning on the Settlement Date following the calendar month during which the Transferor receives a certificate from the related Class Agent of such Affected Person (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so paid or payable by such Affected Person and describing in reasonable detail the basis for the indemnification claim. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. (e) Indemnification of the Administrative Agent by Affected Persons . Each Class Agent Bank Investor shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor (i) for any Taxes attributable to such Class Agent, such Bank Investor or their related Affected Persons (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent 98 70 Redline 83

 

that the Transferor has not already indemnified (or is not already scheduled to indemnify) the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Transferor to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to the failure of such Class Agent, such Bank Investor or their related Affected Persons to comply with Section 13.03(g ) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Class Agent, such Bank Investor or their related Affected Persons, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Class Agent by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Class Agent and each Class Investor, on behalf of themselves and their related Affected Persons hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Affected Persons under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Affected Persons from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e) . (f) Status of Affected Persons . (i) Any Affected Person that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under any Transaction Document shall deliver to each Withholding Agent, on or prior to the Amendment Date and (so long as it remains eligible to do so) at the time or times reasonably requested by such Withholding Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by such Withholding Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Affected Person receiving any payment under any Transaction Document, if reasonably requested by any Withholding Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by such Withholding Agent as will enable such Withholding Agent to determine whether or not such Affected Person is subject to any backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in clauses (A) through (E) of this paragraph (g)(ii) below) shall not be required if in such Affected Person's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Affected Person to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Affected Person. Upon the reasonable request of any Withholding Agent, an Affected Person shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 12.04(f ). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 12.04(f ) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to any Affected Person, such Affected Person shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify each Withholding Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Withholding Agent shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that it is not legally able to deliver. 98 70 Redline 84

 

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Affected Person receiving any payment under any Transaction Document shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to each Withholding Agent (in such number of copies as is reasonably requested by such Withholding Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Affected Person becomes a party hereto (or if not a party hereto, on or prior to the date on which it would, contingently or otherwise, become entitled to any payments hereunder) and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Transferor or the Administrative Agent, duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable: (A) in the case of an Affected Person that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Class Investor is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax; (B) in the case of an Affected Person that is a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under this Agreement, IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "interest" article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement, IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "business profits" or "other income" article of such tax treaty; (C) in the case of an Affected Person that is a Foreign Lender for which payments under this Agreement constitute income that is effectively connected with such Affected Person's conduct of a trade or business in the United States of America, IRS Form W-8ECI; (D) in the case of an Affected Person that is a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, both (1) IRS Form W -8BEN-E and (2) a certificate to the effect that such Affected Person is not (x) a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (y) a "10 percent shareholder" of the Transferor within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (z) a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (each, a "U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate "); (E) in the case of an Affected Person that is a Foreign Lender and is not the beneficial owner of payments made under this Agreement (including a partnership or a participating Class Investor), (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A) , (B) , (C) , (D) and (F) of this paragraph (g)(ii) that would be required of each such beneficial owner, partner of such partnership or participant if such beneficial owner, partner or participant were a Class 98 70 Redline 85

 

Investor; provided that if such Class Investor is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Class Investor may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of such partners; or (F) any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax, together with such supplementary documentation as shall be necessary to enable each Withholding Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by Applicable Law to be withheld. (iii) If a payment received by an Affected Person under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Affected Person were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Affected Person shall deliver to any Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Withholding Agent as may be necessary for such Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Affected Person has or has not complied with such Affected Person's obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (f)(iii) , "FATCA" shall include any and all amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement and any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with FATCA. (g) Treatment of Certain Refunds . If any Affected Person determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such Affected Person and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Official Body with respect to such refund). In the event such Affected Person is required to repay such refund to the relevant Official Body, such indemnifying party shall repay to such Affected Person, upon the request of the related Class Agent on behalf of such Affected Person (or in the event such indemnifying party is the Transferor, in accordance with Section 3.01(b ) beginning on the Settlement Date following the calendar month during which the Transferor has received such request), the amount of the refund paid by such Affected Person to such indemnifying party pursuant to the prior sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Official Body). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, in no event will any Affected Person be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph if such payment would place such Affected Person in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax 98 70 Redline 86

 

basis) than such Affected Person would have been in the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Affected Person to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. (h) Survival . Each party's obligations under this Section 12.04 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, any Credit Party, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the Obligations and the Collection Agent's obligations hereunder. (i) Intended Tax Treatment . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, all parties to this Agreement covenant and agree to treat each Loan under this Agreement as debt (and all Interest as interest) for all federal, state, local and franchise tax purposes and agree not to take any position on any tax return inconsistent with the foregoing. (j) References to Applicable Law . All references to Applicable Law in this Section 12.04 shall be deemed to include FATCA. SECTION 12.05 Replacement Persons . If (i) the Transferor receives a claim for reimbursement or compensation under Section 12.03 by any Class Investor or any other Affected Person relating to a Class Investor, or if the Transferor is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Class Investor or any Official Body for the account of any Class Investor pursuant to Section 12.04 and, in each case, payment thereof is not waived by such Class Investor or Affected Person, as applicable, (ii) any Class Investor becomes a Defaulting Lender or (iii) any Class Investor becomes a Non-Extending Lender, then the Transferor may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Class Investor and the Administrative Agent, require such Class Investor to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 13.03), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to reimbursement, indemnification or other payments pursuant to this Article XII) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Transaction Documents to an assignee pursuant to Section 13.03 that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Class Investor, if a Class Investor accepts such assignment); provided that: (a) the Transferor shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 13.03; (b) such Class Investor shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Capital, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Transferor (in the case of all other amounts); 98 70 Redline 87

A Class Investor shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Class Investor or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Transferor to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. SECTION 12.06 Costs and Expenses . In addition to the rights of indemnification granted under Section 12.01 hereof, the Transferor agrees to pay (or if applicable, reimburse), in accordance with Section 3.01(b ) beginning on the Settlement Date following the calendar month during which the Transferor has received written demand therefor, all reasonable out of pocket expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys', accountants', rating agencies', and other third parties' fees and expenses, any filing fees and expenses incurred by officers or employees of any Credit Party) or intangible, documentary or recording taxes incurred by or on behalf of any of the Credit Parties (i) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any documents or instruments delivered pursuant hereto and thereto and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the perfection or protection of the security interest granted hereunder) and (ii) from time to time (A) relating to any amendments, waivers or consents under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, (B) arising in connection with any Credit Party's enforcement or preservation of rights (including the perfection and protection of the security interest granted hereunder), or (C) arising in connection with any audit, dispute, disagreement, litigation or preparation for litigation involving this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.
