The Administrative Agent and the relevant Lender shall provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment (or any similar documentation) from the relevant taxing authority (redacting any unrelated Confidential Information contained therein) requiring repayment of such refund.

The Administrative Agent and each Lender agree that if any form or certification they previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, they shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of their legal inability to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding three sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation shall not be required if in the Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material ​ unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. ​
