FATCA Deduction (a) Each Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.
(b) Each Party shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction), notify the Party to whom it is making the payment and, in addition, shall notify the Borrower and the Agent and the Agent shall notify the other Finance Parties.
FATCA For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), from and after the effective date of this Amendment, it is understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent may treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Loans as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).
FATCA Withholding The Trust represents, warrants and covenants to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Paying Agent that, (i) to the best of the Trust’s knowledge, the Indenture Trustee, Note Registrar and Note Paying Agent are not obligated in respect of any payments to be made by the Trust pursuant to this Indenture, to make any withholding or deduction pursuant to an agreement described in Section 1471(b) of the Code or otherwise imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and any regulations or agreements thereunder or official interpretations thereof (“FATCA Withholding Tax”), provided such parties have obtained the requisite information about the Noteholders; (ii) the Noteholders are required to provide information sufficient to eliminate the imposition of, or determine the amount of, FATCA Withholding Tax (the “FATCA Information”) to the Trust and the Indenture Trustee, (iii) the Trust shall comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payment made by it on any Note of any applicable FATCA Withholding Tax imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirement in connection therewith; and (iv) to the extent the Trust determines that FATCA Withholding Tax is applicable, it will promptly notify the Note Paying Agent of such fact. To the extent the Trust has the Noteholders’ information, the Trust will provide the FATCA Information to the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Note Paying Agent upon request. Each holder of a Note or an interest therein, by acceptance of such Note or such interest in such Note, will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Note Paying Agent with the Noteholder Tax Identification Information and, to the extent FATCA Withholding Tax is applicable, the FATCA Information. In addition, each holder of a Note will be deemed to understand that the Note Paying Agent has the right to withhold interest payable with respect to the Note (without any corresponding gross-up) on any beneficial owner of an interest in a Note that fails to comply with the foregoing requirements.
FATCA Information (a) Subject to clause 15.24(c) below, each Party shall, within ten (10) Banking Days of a reasonable request by another Party:
(i) confirm to that other Party whether it is:
(A) a FATCA Exempt Party; or
(B) not a FATCA Exempt Party; and
(ii) supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA (including its applicable “passthru payment percentage” or other information required under the US Treasury Regulations or other official guidance including intergovernmental agreements) as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with FATCA, provided however that such forms, documentation and other information may be given in accordance with law and other relevant obligations.
(b) If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to clause 15.24(a)(i) above that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not, or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that Party shall notify that other Party reasonably promptly.
(c) Clause 15.24(a) above shall not oblige any Facility Beneficiary to do anything which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:
(i) any law or regulation;
(ii) any fiduciary duty; or
(iii) any policy of that Facility Beneficiary;
(iv) any duty of confidentiality.
(d) If a Party fails to confirm its status or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with clause 15.24(a) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where clause 15.24(c) above applies), then:
(i) if that Party failed to confirm whether it is (and/or remains) a FATCA Exempt Party then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Facility Documents as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party; and
(ii) if that Party failed to confirm its applicable “passthru payment percentage” then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Facility Documents (and payments made thereunder) as if its applicable “passthru payment percentage” is 100%, until (in each case) such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.
Lender Tax Information For purposes of this Section 5.9, the term “Lender” includes any Fronting Bank.
Certain Obligations Respecting Subsidiaries The Borrower will take such action, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to take such action, from time to time as shall be necessary to ensure that all new Subsidiaries are guarantors of the Secured Obligations and that all of the equity and material assets of all Subsidiaries are subject to a valid and enforceable first priority Lien securing the Secured Obligations, subject to no other Lien except Permitted Liens, provided, however, that the NY Mortgages shall secure the Term Loans only. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall form or acquire any new Subsidiary (which it shall only do in conformity with the provisions of this Agreement and only if no Default or Event of Default shall then be in existence or caused thereby), the Borrower, contemporaneously with the formation or acquisition of such new Subsidiary: (i) will execute and deliver, and shall cause the holders of any equity interests not owned by the Borrower to execute and deliver, such documents as shall be necessary to cause all of the Capital Stock of such new Subsidiary to be duly pledged (on a first-priority perfected basis) to secure the Secured Obligations; (ii) will cause such new Subsidiary to execute and deliver a Subsidiary Suretyship (or a joinder thereto), joinders to the Security Agreement and Pledge Agreement, UCC-1 financing statements, and such other documents as may be necessary to cause such new Subsidiary to be a guarantor of the Secured Obligations and its material assets to be pledged to secure such guaranty; (iii) will cause such new Subsidiary to deliver such proof of corporate action, incumbency of officers, opinions of counsel and other documents as is consistent with those delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.1 (Conditions to Effectiveness) upon the Closing Date or as the Agent shall have reasonably requested, and to take such other action as the Agent shall request to perfect the security interest in the Capital Stock and material assets of such new Subsidiary created pursuant to the Loan Documents; and (iv) if such new Subsidiary is the owner or lessee of real estate, the Borrower shall cause such Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 7.28 (Real Property). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to cause BCS LLC to comply with the provisions of this Section 7.27 unless the Agent requests that the Borrower cause BCS LLC to comply with such provisions and then, only to the extent requested by the Agent, provided, however, unless and until the Agent shall have requested that BCS LLC become a Loan Party and guaranty the Secured Obligations and pledge some or all of its assets to secure such guaranty as provided in this Section 7.27, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, (without duplication), (i) transfer (whether by way of sale, loan, lease, gift, disposition, merger, sale of equity or otherwise) any asset to BCS LLC except in exchange for cash consideration equal to the fair market value of the asset transferred, (ii) make any Investment in BCS LLC or provide any Guaranty of or otherwise become liable for any obligations of BCS LLC, (iii) provide services to BCS LLC except in exchange for cash compensation equal to the value of the services provided, (iv) co-mingle any funds or other assets with BCS LLC, or (v) engage in any other transaction with BCS LLC on terms that are not at least as favorable to the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, as it would obtain in a comparable arm’s length transaction with an unrelated third party; except that the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may (x) make the initial investment in BCS LLC as is described in the definition of BCS Acquisition, (y) purchase or repay some or all of the debt described in the definition of BCS Acquisition so long as the purchase or repayment is for no more than the aggregate principal amount of such debt, together with the amount of accrued interest and fees thereon, and (z) purchase goods or services from BCS LLC on terms that are at least as favorable to the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, as it would obtain in a comparable arm’s length transaction with an unrelated third party.
Transactions Involving Collateral Except for inventory sold or accounts collected in the ordinary course of Grantor's business, Grantor shall not sell, offer to sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Collateral. While Grantor is not in default under this Agreement, Grantor may sell inventory, but only in the ordinary course of its business and only to buyers who qualify as a buyer in the ordinary course of business. A sale in the ordinary course of Grantor's business does not include a transfer in partial or total satisfaction of a debt or any bulk sale. Grantor shall not pledge, mortgage, encumber or otherwise permit the Collateral to be subject to any lien, security interest, encumbrance, or charge, other than the security interest provided for in this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Lender. This includes security interests even if junior in right to the security interests granted under this Agreement. Unless waived by Lender, all proceeds from any disposition of the Collateral (for whatever reason) shall be held in trust for Lender and shall not be commingled with any other funds; provided however, this requirement shall not constitute consent by Lender to any sale or other disposition. Upon receipt, Grantor shall immediately deliver any such proceeds to Lender.
Changes in Tax, Debt, Credit and Documentary Stamp Laws (a) If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Agreement which deducts the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation and which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Lender’s interest in the Property, Borrower will pay the tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of tax by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury then Lender shall have the option by written notice of not less than ninety (90) days to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.
(b) Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against the Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property, or any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of the Security Instrument or the Debt. If such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by applicable law, Lender shall have the option, by written notice of not less than ninety (90) days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.
(c) If at any time the United States of America, any State thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note, the Security Instrument, or any of the other Loan Documents or impose any other tax or charge on the same, Borrower will pay for the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.
Extra Duty Pay Reimbursement for activities such as gate-keeping, score book, etc.
Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to 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 Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) 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.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) 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;
(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit M-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable); or
(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit M-2 or Exhibit M-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit M-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies (or originals, as required) of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender 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 Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative 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 the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
