Each such Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation (including any documentation specifically referenced below) expired, obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver reasonably promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the applicable withholding agent) or reasonably promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(A) Each Lender that is a “United States person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, and if applicable, the assigning Lender (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of (x) a Participant, on or before the date on which such Participant purchases the related participation and (y) an assignee, on or before the effective date of such assignment), on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding. Each Lender that is not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Foreign Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally able to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, and if applicable, the assigning Lender (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of (x) a Participant, on or before the date on which such Participant purchases the related participation and (y) an assignee, on or before the effective date of such assignment), and from time to time thereafter when required by Law or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, two duly completed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:
(1) an executed original of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, as applicable (with respect to eligibility for benefits under any income tax treaty), or successor and related applicable forms, as the case may be, certifying to such Foreign Lender’s entitlement as of such date to an exemption from or reduction of United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement,
(2) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms),
(3) in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) or the Code, (x) a certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit L (any such certificate a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”), or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, and Borrower, to the effect that such Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and (y) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor forms),
(4) to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership, or is a Lender that has granted a participation), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor forms), United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, Form W-8IMY (or other successor forms) and/or any other required information from each beneficial owner, as applicable (provided that, if the Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Lender on behalf of such direct or indirect partner(s)), or
(5) any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax Laws (including the Treasury regulations) as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents.
(B) In addition, but without duplication of the covenant as to United States withholding Tax contained in Section 3.01(f)(i) and (ii), any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction(s) in which the Borrower is organized, or any treaty to which any such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed original documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.
(C) 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 Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, 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 or Revolver Agent, as applicable, as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, to comply with their FATCA obligations, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Xxxxxx’s FATCA obligations and to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (f), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver. Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, to deliver to the Borrower and to any successor Agent any documentation provided by the Lender to the Agent pursuant to this Section 3.01(f). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, with respect to any Revolving Credit Lender, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (f)(ii)(A), (f)(ii)(B) and (f)(ii)(C) of this Section) shall not be required if in such 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.
