Seller’s Representations Seller represents and warrants to Buyer as follows:
Lender Representations (i) Each Lender represents that it is either (1) a corporation or banking association organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or (2) it is entitled to complete exemption from United States withholding tax imposed on or with respect to any payments, including fees, to be made to it pursuant to this Agreement (A) under an applicable provision of a tax convention to which the United States of America is a party or (B) because it is acting through a branch, agency or office in the United States of America and any payment to be received by it hereunder is effectively connected with a trade or business in the United States of America. Each Lender that is not a corporation or banking association organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof agrees to provide to the Borrower and the Agent on the Closing Date, or on the date of its delivery of the Assignment pursuant to which it becomes a Lender, and at such other times as required by United States law or as the Borrower or the Agent shall reasonably request, two accurate and complete original signed copies of either (A) Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 (or successor form) certifying that all payments to be made to it hereunder will be effectively connected to a United States trade or business (the "Form 4224 Certification") or (B) Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 (or successor form) certifying that it is entitled to the benefit of a provision of a tax convention to which the United States of America is a party which completely exempts from United States withholding tax all payments to be made to it hereunder (the "Form 1001 Certification"). In addition, each Lender agrees that if it previously filed a Form 4224 Certification, it will deliver to the Borrower and the Agent a new Form 4224 Certification prior to the first payment date occurring in each of its subsequent taxable years; and if it previously filed a Form 1001 Certification, it will deliver to the Borrower and the Agent a new certification prior to the first payment date falling in the third year following the previous filing of such certification. Each Lender also agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Agent such other or supplemental forms as may at any time be required as a result of changes in applicable law or regulation in order to confirm or maintain in effect its entitlement to exemption from United States withholding tax on any payments hereunder, provided that the circumstances of such Lender at the relevant time and applicable laws permit it to do so. If a Lender determines, as a result of any change in either (i) a Governmental Requirement or (ii) its circumstances, that it is unable to submit any form or certificate that it is obligated to submit pursuant to this Section 4.06, or that it is required to withdraw or cancel any such form or certificate previously submitted, it shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of such fact. If a Lender is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States of America, unless the Borrower and the Agent have received a Form 1001 Certification or Form 4224 Certification satisfactory to them indicating that all payments to be made to such Lender hereunder are not subject to United States withholding tax, the Borrower shall withhold taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate. Each Lender agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Borrower or Agent, as applicable, from any United States taxes, penalties, interest and other expenses, costs and losses incurred or payable by (i) the Agent as a result of such Lender's failure to submit any form or certificate that it is required to provide pursuant to this Section 4.06 or (ii) the Borrower or the Agent as a result of their reliance on any such form or certificate which such Lender has provided to them pursuant to this Section 4.06.
(ii) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the form required pursuant to this Section 4.06, if any, (other than if such failure is due to a change in a Governmental Requirement occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 4.06 with respect to taxes imposed by the United States which taxes would not have been imposed but for such failure to provide such forms; provided, however, that should a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax becomes subject to taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such taxes.
(iii) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.06 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document requested by the Borrower or the Agent or to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office or to contest any tax imposed if the making of such a filing or change or contesting such tax would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(c) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Seller and the performance by Seller of his, her, or its obligations pursuant to this Agreement will not result in any material violation of, or materially conflict with, or constitute a material default under, any agreement to which Seller is a party or such Seller’s charter documents, nor, to such Seller’s knowledge, result in the creation of any material mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge upon any of the Purchased Notes, other than pursuant to this Agreement.
(d) Upon delivery of and payment for the Purchased Notes as herein contemplated, Seller will convey to Purchaser good, valid and marketable title to the Purchased Notes free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities, options, claims, charges and restrictions, of any nature whatsoever, other than restrictions under applicable securities laws.
(e) Seller has reviewed with Seller’s own tax advisors the federal, state and local tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Seller is not relying on any statements or representations of Purchaser or any of its agents. Seller understands that Seller shall be solely responsible for Seller’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
