been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower
shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other
authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay any present or future
stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or
similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or
from the execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise
with respect to, this Agreement or the Notes (hereinafter referred to as "Other
Taxes").
(c) Each Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Agent for the
full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any taxes
imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.14) imposed
on or paid by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability
(including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect
thereto; provided, however, that a Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any
amounts in respect of penalties, interest or expenses pursuant to this paragraph
that are payable solely as a result of (i) the failure on the part of the
pertinent Lender or the Agent to pay over those amounts received from the
Borrowers under this clause (c) or (ii) the gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of the pertinent Lender or the Agent. This
indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the
Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. Each Lender agrees to
provide reasonably prompt notice to the Agent, the Company and any Borrower of
any imposition of Taxes or Other Taxes against such Lender; provided that
failure to give such notice shall not affect such Lender's rights to
indemnification hereunder. Each Lender agrees that it will, promptly upon a
request by the Company or a Borrower having made an indemnification payment
hereunder, furnish to the Company or such Borrower, as the case may be, such
evidence as is reasonably available to such Lender as to the payment of the
relevant Taxes or Other Taxes, and that it will, if requested by the Company or
such Borrower, cooperate with the Company or such Borrower, as the case may be,
in its efforts to obtain a refund or similar relief in respect of such payment.
(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes by a
Borrower under subsection (a) above, each Borrower shall furnish to the Agent,
at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of
a receipt evidencing payment thereof. In the case of any payment hereunder or
under the Notes by or on behalf of any Borrower through an account or branch
outside the United States or by or on behalf of any Borrower by a payor that is
not a United States person, if such Borrower determines that no Taxes are
payable in respect thereof, such Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause such
payor to furnish, to the Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel
acceptable to the Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For
purposes of this subsection (d) and subsection (e), the terms "United States"
and "United States person" shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of
the Internal Revenue Code.
(e) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the
United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this
Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender, on the date of the Assignment and
Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other
Lender and on the date it changes its Applicable Lending Office in the case of
any Lender, and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by any
