Illegal or Unauthorized Payments; Political Contributions Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the best of the Company’s knowledge (after reasonable inquiry of its officers and directors), any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or other representatives of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other business entity or enterprise with which the Company or any Subsidiary is or has been affiliated or associated, has, directly or indirectly, made or authorized any payment, contribution or gift of money, property, or services, whether or not in contravention of applicable law, (i) as a kickback or bribe to any Person or (ii) to any political organization, or the holder of or any aspirant to any elective or appointive public office except for personal political contributions not involving the direct or indirect use of funds of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes; Payments The Guarantor represents and warrants that it is organized and resident in the United States of America. The Guarantor shall make all payments hereunder without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the Guarantor is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding (and provided that nothing contained herein, including without limitation, the foregoing, shall limit or affect the Guarantor’s ability to bring any separate action or claim available to it at law or in equity). If any such obligation (other than one arising with respect to taxes based on or measured by the income or profits of the respective Secured Parties) is imposed upon the Guarantor with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder, the Guarantor will pay to the Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder, such additional amount in U.S. dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) to receive the same net amount which the Agent would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon the Guarantor. The Guarantor will deliver promptly to the Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Guarantor hereunder. The obligations of the Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty.
Indirect Taxes All payments are exclusive of value added taxes, sales taxes, consumption taxes and other similar taxes (the “Indirect Taxes”). If any Indirect Taxes are chargeable in respect of any payments, the paying Party shall pay such Indirect Taxes at the applicable rate in respect of such payments following receipt, where applicable, of an Indirect Taxes invoice in the appropriate form issued by the receiving Party in respect of those payments. The Parties shall issue invoices for all amounts payable under this Agreement consistent with Indirect Tax requirements and irrespective of whether the sums may be netted for settlement purposes. If the Indirect Taxes originally paid or otherwise borne by the paying Party are in whole or in part subsequently determined not to have been chargeable, all necessary steps will be taken by the receiving Party to receive a refund of these undue Indirect Taxes from the applicable governmental authority or other fiscal authority and any amount of undue Indirect Taxes repaid by such authority to the receiving Party will be transferred to the paying Party within forty-five (45) days of receipt.

No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes Each Guarantor represents and warrants that it is incorporated or formed, and resides in, the United States of America. All payments by each Guarantor hereunder shall be paid in full, without setoff or counterclaim (other than mandatory) or any deduction or withholding whatsoever, including, without limitation, for any and all present and future Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If a Guarantor must make a payment under this Guaranty, such Guarantor represents, warrants and covenants that it will make the payment from one of its U.S. resident offices to the Administrative Agent or each other Guarantied Party. If any Guarantor makes a payment under this Guaranty on which any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are at any time imposed including, but not limited to, payments made pursuant to this Section 21, each Guarantor shall pay all such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable Law such that the Administrative Agent or any other Guarantied Party receives the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes been made and shall also pay to the Administrative Agent or any other Guarantied Party, on demand, all additional amounts which the Administrative Agent or any other Guarantied Party specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield the Administrative Agent or such other Guarantied Party would have received if such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed. Each Guarantor shall promptly provide the Administrative Agent or any other Guarantied Party with the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the relevant authority evidencing the payment of any such amount required to be deducted or withheld or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or such other Guarantied Party.
Foreign Taxes Any amounts payable hereunder, other than payments of interest, principal or premium, if any, in respect of any of the Securities, to an Underwriter shall be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any and all taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges or fees of whatsoever nature now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, deducted or withheld or assessed by or on behalf of Australia or any political subdivision thereof or by any jurisdiction, other than the United States or any taxing authority or political subdivision thereof, in which the Bank has a branch, an office or any agency from which payment is made (a “Taxing Authority”), excluding (i) any such tax which would not have been imposed if such Underwriter had no present or former connection with any such jurisdiction other than the performance of its obligations hereunder, (ii) any income or franchise tax imposed on the net income of such Underwriter by any jurisdiction of which such Underwriter is a resident, citizen or domiciliary, or in which such Underwriter is engaged in business and (iii) any tax imposed that would not have been imposed but for the failure by such Underwriter to comply with any certification, identification or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with any Taxing Authority if compliance is required by such Taxing Authority as a pre-condition to exemption from, or reduction in rate of, such tax (all such non-excluded taxes, the “Foreign Taxes”). If, by operation of law or otherwise, that portion of amounts payable hereunder represented by Foreign Taxes withheld or deducted cannot be paid or remitted, then amounts payable under this Agreement shall be increased to such amounts as are necessary to yield and remit to such Underwriter amounts which, after deduction of all Foreign Taxes (including all Foreign Taxes payable on such increased payments) equal the amounts that would have been payable if no Foreign Taxes had been so withheld or deducted (the “Additional Amount”); provided, however, that no Additional Amount with respect to any payment or compensation to such Underwriter hereunder shall be required to be paid in the event that such payment or compensation is subject to such Foreign Tax by reason of such Underwriter being connected with the jurisdiction of the Taxing Authority other than by reason of merely receiving payment hereunder.
