(b) In the event that any Multicurrency Lender (including a Transferee) does not, for any reason, deliver all forms and certificates required to permit all payments by all Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers hereunder to be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes, the U.S. Borrower may, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, require such Multicurrency Lender, upon five Business Days' prior written notice from the U.S. Borrower, to assign the entire then outstanding principal amount of the Multicurrency Loans owing to such Multicurrency Lender and the entire Multicurrency Commitment of such Multicurrency Lender to one or more Lenders selected by the U.S. Borrower which, after giving effect to such assignment, will have a U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment in excess of its Multicurrency Commitment. In the case of any such assignment to another Lender, such assignee Lender shall assign to such assignor Multicurrency Lender a principal amount of outstanding U.S. Revolving Credit Loans owing to such assignee Lender equal to the lesser of (i) the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the amount of Multicurrency Loans assigned to such assignee Lender and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of U.S. Revolving Credit Loans owing to such assignee Lender. Any such assignments pursuant to the two precedent sentences shall be effected in accordance with subsection 18.6(c) and, as a condition to such assignment, simultaneously with such assignment, the U.S. Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid all amounts due to the assignor Multicurrency Lender and the assignee Lender hereunder on the effective date of such assignments.

Limitation of Benefits under Certain Circumstances If the payments and benefits pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement, either alone or together with other payments and benefits which Executive has the right to receive from the Company and the Bank, would constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code, the payments and benefits pursuant to Section 12 shall be reduced or revised, in the manner determined by Executive, by the amount, if any, which is the minimum necessary to result in no portion of the payments and benefits under Section 12 being non-deductible to the Company and the Bank pursuant to Section 280G of the Code and subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code. The determination of any reduction in the payments and benefits to be made pursuant to Section 12 shall be based upon the opinion of the Company and the Bank’s independent public accountants and paid for by the Company and the Bank.

Any such request for a ruling from the IRS shall be promptly prepared and filed by the Company and the Bank, but in no event later than thirty (30) days from the date of the opinion of counsel referred to above, and shall be subject to Executive’s approval prior to filing, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company, the Bank and Executive agree to be bound by any ruling received from the IRS and to make appropriate payments to each other to reflect any such rulings, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code. Nothing contained herein shall result in a reduction of any payments or benefits to which Executive may be entitled upon termination of employment other than pursuant to Section 12 hereof, or a reduction in the payments and benefits specified in Section 12 below zero.
Additional Interest Under Certain Circumstances (a) Additional interest (the “Additional Interest”) with respect to the Initial Securities shall be assessed as follows if (each such event in clauses (i) through (iv) below a “Registration Default”):
(i) an Exchange Offer Registration Statement has not been filed within 120 days of the Issue Date;
(ii) an Exchange Offer Registration Statement has not been declared effective within 180 days of the Issue Date;
(iii) neither the Registered Exchange Offer is consummated, nor, if required in lieu thereof, has the Shelf Registration Statement become effective, within 225 days of the Issue Date;
(iv) after either the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective (A) such Registration Statement thereafter ceases to be or is not effective; or (B) such Registration Statement or the related prospectus ceases to be or is not usable (except as permitted in paragraph (b)) in connection with resales of Transfer Restricted Securities during the periods specified herein because either (1) any event occurs as a result of which the related prospectus forming part of such Registration Statement would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, (2) it shall be necessary to amend such Registration Statement or supplement the related prospectus, to comply with the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, or (3) such Registration Statement is a Shelf Registration Statement that has expired before a replacement Shelf Registration Statement has become effective, then Additional Interest shall accrue on the Initial Securities over and above the interest set forth in the title of the Securities from and including the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on which all such Registration Defaults have been cured, at a rate of 0.25% per annum, plus an additional 0.25% per annum from and during any period in which a Registration Default has continued for more than 90 days, up to a maximum rate of 0.50% per annum. In no event will Additional Interest accrue on the Initial Securities at a rate exceeding 0.50% per annum.
(b) A Registration Default referred to in Section 7(a)(iv) hereof shall be deemed not to have occurred and be continuing in relation to a Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus if (i) such Registration Default has occurred solely as a result of (x) the filing of a post-effective amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement to incorporate annual audited financial information with respect to the Company where such post-effective amendment is not yet effective and needs to be declared effective to permit Holders to use the related prospectus or (y) other material events, with respect to the Company that would need to be described in such Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus and (ii) in the case of clause (y) either there has occurred a business development or event and the Company determines in its reasonable judgment that disclosure of such development or event is not in the best interest of the Company or the Company is proceeding promptly and in good faith to amend or supplement such Shelf Registration Statement and related prospectus to describe such events; provided, however, that in any case if such Registration Default occurs for a period in excess of 90 days (whether or not consecutive) during any 365-day period Additional Interest shall be payable in accordance with the above paragraph from the day such Registration Default occurs until such Registration Default is cured.
(c) Any amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of Section 7(a) above will be payable in cash on the regular interest payment dates with respect to the Initial Securities. The amount of Additional Interest will be determined by multiplying the applicable Additional Interest rate by the principal amount of the Initial Securities, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such Additional Interest rate was applicable during such period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months), and the denominator of which is 360.
Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances (a) Increased Costs or Reduced Return Resulting From Taxes, Reserves, Capital Adequacy Requirements, Expenses, Etc. If any Law or guideline or interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance with any request or directive of any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) now existing or hereafter adopted:
(i) subjects any Lender or any Notional Euro-Rate Funding Office to any tax or changes the basis of taxation with respect to this Agreement, the Notes, the Loans or payments by the Borrower of principal, interest, commitment fees or other amounts due from the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes (except for taxes on the overall net income or overall gross receipts of such Lender or such Notional Euro-Rate Funding Office imposed by the jurisdictions (federal, state and local) in which the Lender's principal office or Notional Euro-Rate Funding Office is located),
(ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against credits or commitments to extend credit extended by, assets (funded or contingent) of, deposits with or for the account of, other acquisitions of funds by, such Lender or any Notional Euro-Rate Funding Office (other than requirements expressly included herein in the determination of the CD Rate or the Euro-Rate, as the case may be, hereunder),
(iii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any capital adequacy or similar requirement (A) against assets (funded or contingent) of, or credits or commitments to extend credit extended by, any Lender or any Notional Euro-Rate Funding Office, or (B) otherwise applicable to the obligations of any Lender or any Notional Euro-Rate Funding Office under this Agreement, or
(iv) imposes upon any Lender or any Notional Euro-Rate Funding Office any other condition or expense with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or its making, maintenance or funding of any Loan or any security therefor, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to, reduce the income receivable by, or impose any expense (including loss of margin) upon any Lender, any Notional Euro-Rate Funding office or, in the case of clause (iii) hereof, any Person controlling a Lender, with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or the making, maintenance or funding of any Loan (or, in the case of any capital adequacy or similar requirement, to have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or controlling Person's capital, taking into consideration such Lender's or controlling Person's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount which such Lender deems to be material (such Lender being deemed for this purpose to have made, maintained or funded each Funding Segment of the CD Rate Portion and the Euro-Rate Portion from a Corresponding Source of Funds), such Lender may from time to time notify the Borrower of the amount determined in good faith (using any averaging and attribution methods) by such Lender (which determination shall be conclusive) to be necessary to compensate such Lender or such Notional Euro-Rate Funding Office for such increase, reduction or imposition. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such Lender five Business Days after such notice is given, together with an amount equal to interest on such amount from the date two Business Days after the date demanded until such due date at the Base Rate Option. A certificate by such Lender as to the amount due and payable under this Section 2.10(a) from time to time and the method of calculating such amount shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Automatic Acceleration in Certain Circumstances If an Event of Default set forth in Section 7.01(A)(ix) or 7.01(A)(x) occurs with respect to the Company (and not solely with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Company), then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable without any further action or notice by any Person.
Six-Month Delay in Certain Circumstances Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any amount or benefit that would constitute Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation would otherwise be payable or distributable under this Agreement by reason of the Executive’s separation from service during a period in which he is a “specified employee” (as defined in Code Section 409A and the final regulations thereunder), then, subject to any permissible acceleration of payment by the Company under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A‑3(j)(4)(ii) (domestic relations order), (j)(4)(iii) (conflicts of interest), or (j)(4)(vi) (payment of employment taxes), (i) the amount of such Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation that would otherwise be payable during the six-month period immediately following the Executive’s separation from service will be accumulated through and paid or provided on the first day of the seventh month following the Executive’s separation from service (or, if the Executive dies during such period, within thirty (30) days after the Executive’s death) (in either case, the “Required Delay Period”); and (ii) the normal payment or distribution schedule for any remaining payments or distributions will resume at the end of the Required Delay Period.
