(ii) Without limiting the foregoing, in the case of a Borrower who is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and to the Administrative Agent, at the times prescribed by applicable law or when reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or by the authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information, in each case as Lender is legally entitled to provide, as will permit the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to withholding taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable withholding taxes in respect of payments to be made to such Lender by the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (ii), the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than the documentation referred to in clause (i) above) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment, such completion, execution and submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
