or payable in respect of any Finance Document. |
| (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. |

| (i) | making or filing a claim or proof against the Borrower; or |
| (ii) | obtaining or enforcing an order, judgment or award in relation to any litigation or arbitration
proceedings, |

obligation, within three (3) Business Days of demand, indemnify the Lender against any cost, loss or liability arising out of or
as a result of the conversion including any discrepancy between (A) the rate of exchange used to convert that Sum from the First
Currency into the Second Currency and (B) the rate or rates of exchange available to that person at the time of its receipt of

respective costs and expenses (including legal fees) reasonably incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution
