Tax Gross Up and Indemnities. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower or any other Credit Party under any Credit Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings of Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. (b) In addition, the Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. (c) The Credit Parties shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.20) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, however, that if an Agent or Lender, as the case may be, makes demand for such payment more than 270 days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the relevant Governmental Authority makes written demand upon such Person for payment of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, and (ii) the date on which such Person has made payment of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (except that, if the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted giving rise to such claims are retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effort thereof), the Borrowers shall not be required to make any payment in connection with such claim pursuant to this Section 2.20(c) of any interest, penalties or additions to tax accruing after such date. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to a Borrower by a Recipient (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Credit Parties be required to indemnify any Recipient for any Bank Levies pursuant to this Section 2.20(c). (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Borrower or any other Credit Party to a Governmental Authority, the applicable Borrower or Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to EIH and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by EIH or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by EIH 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 EIH or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by EIH or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to withholding, 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 2.20(e)(ii) and (iii) 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) Each Lender shall provide to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement a properly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 or W-9 in order to establish that payments to such Lender under the Credit Documents are not subject to any United States federal backup withholding tax. (iii) If a payment made to a Recipient under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient 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 Recipient shall deliver to EIH and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by EIH 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 EIH or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify EIH and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. (f) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (f). (g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.20 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. (h) All amounts set out, or expressed in this Agreement to be payable by either Borrower to a Lender or Agent which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (i) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender or Agent to either Borrower under this Agreement that Borrower shall pay to the Lender or Agent (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Lender or Agent shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such Borrower) or in case where the reverse charge mechanism is applicable, the Borrower shall directly account for such VAT and pay the relevant VAT amount directly to the competent tax authority. (i) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender or Agent (the “Supplier”) to any other Lender or Agent (the “Customer”) under a Credit Document, and either Borrower other than the Customer (the “Subject Party”) is required by the terms of this Agreement to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the Customer in respect of that consideration), such Borrower shall also pay to the Supplier (provided the Supplier is required to account for VAT) or the Customer (if the Customer is required to account for the VAT) (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT. The Customer will promptly pay to the Subject Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment obtained by the Customer from the relevant tax authority which the Customer reasonably determines in respect of such VAT. (ii) Where this Agreement requires either Borrower to reimburse or indemnify a Lender or Agent for any cost or expense, the Borrower shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Lender or Agent for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Lender or Agent reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority. (iii) Any reference in this Section 2.20(h) to any Borrower shall, at any time when such Borrower is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (as provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC as amended (or as implemented by a member state of the European Union). (i) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.20 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document. For purposes of this Section 2.20, the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.
