9.2 Tax gross-up

(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower to a Lender under the Finance Documents shall be made free and clear of and without any Tax Deduction unless the Borrower is required to make a Tax Deduction by law.

(b) If the Borrower is required by law to make any Tax Deduction:

(i) except as provided in Clause 9.3 (Exceptions from gross-up) below, the amount of the payment due from the Borrower will be increased to an amount which, after taking into account any Tax Deduction, leaves an amount equal to the amount which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required; and

(ii) the Borrower shall:

(A) make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law; and

9.3 Exceptions from gross-up

The Borrower is not required to make any increased payment to any Lender under Clause 9.2 (Tax gross-up) if, on the date the payment falls due:

(b) that Xxxxxx has obtained and utilised that Tax Credit,

that Lender shall pay an amount to the Borrower which that Lender determines will leave it (after that payment) in no better and no worse tax position than it would have been in had the Borrower not been required to make the Tax Payment.

9.5 Filings and status confirmation

(a) Each Lender shall promptly on becoming the Lender and from time to time thereafter submit such forms and documents, complete such procedural formalities or requirements and use all reasonable endeavours to take such other action, in each case, as may be necessary (at any time) for the Borrower to obtain and maintain authorisation (at all times) to make payment under this Agreement without having to make a Tax Deduction (or, where it is not legally possible to obtain authorisation to make payment without a Tax Deduction, with the smallest Tax Deduction permitted by law).

(b) Each Lender must satisfy all applicable legal and regulatory requirements for lending to the Borrower to which it will lend, other than as a result of a Change in Law occurring after the date on which it becomes a Lender under this Agreement.

If a Lender becomes aware that it is not entitled to receive any payment made under the Finance Documents free from any deduction or withholding imposed under FATCA it shall promptly notify the Borrower (together with the amount of any applicable deduction or withholding). Without prejudice to the foregoing, each Lender shall promptly provide to the Borrower (if requested by the Borrower) (A) a written confirmation that so far as it is aware it is or, as the case may be, is not entitled to receive payments made under the Finance Documents free from any deduction or withholding imposed under FATCA and (B) such documents and other evidence as the Borrower may reasonably require to (1) support any confirmation given pursuant to (A) and/or (2) as applicable, calculate the amount of any deduction or withholding to be made on account of FATCA on any payment made under the Finance Documents to that Lender. If a Lender fails to comply with its obligations under this paragraph (c), until such time as that Xxxxxx has complied with its obligations the Borrower shall be entitled to treat such Lender as not being entitled to receive all or any part of any payment made under the Finance Documents free from any deduction or withholding imposed under FATCA.

9.6 Stamp taxes

The Borrower shall:

Each Lender shall inform Borrower if any Indirect Tax is chargeable on any supply made by such Lender at the time the payment is made.

(b) Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify a Lender for any cost or expense, that Party shall reimburse and indemnify (as the case may be) such Lender against all Indirect Tax incurred by that Xxxxxx in respect of the costs or expenses to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment in respect of the Indirect Tax.

(iii) any duty of confidentiality.

(d) If a Party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraph (a)(i) or (ii) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (c) above applies), then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments under them) as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

(e) If any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver provided to the Borrower by a Lender pursuant to paragraph (c) of Clause 9.8 (FATCA information) above is or becomes materially inaccurate or incomplete, that Lender shall promptly update it and provide such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver to the Borrower unless it is unlawful for the Lender to do so (in which case the Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower).

21.2 Certificates and determinations

Any certification or determination by a Lender of a rate or amount under any Finance Document shall set out the basis of calculation in reasonable detail and is, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive evidence of the matters to which it relates.

23. Remedies and Waivers

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of a Lender, any right or remedy under the Finance Documents shall operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy or constitute an election to affirm any of the Finance Documents.

27. COMPLIANCE WITH USURY LAWS

It is the intent of Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx in the execution and performance of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents to contract in strict compliance with any and all applicable usury laws, including conflicts of law concepts, governing the loan described herein. In furtherance thereof, the Lender and Borrower stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or any of the other Finance Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the highest rate permitted by applicable law (the “Highest Lawful Rate”) and that for purposes hereof “interest” shall include the aggregate of all charges which constitute interest under such laws that are contracted for, charged or received under this Agreement or any of the other Finance Documents; and in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, under any circumstances the aggregate amounts taken, reserved, charged, received or paid on any Sum include amounts which by applicable law are deemed interest which would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, then such excess shall be deemed to be a mistake and the Lender shall credit the same on the principal balance of the Loan (or if all of the Sums shall have been paid in full, refund said excess to the Borrower). The provisions of this section shall control over all other provisions of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents which may be in apparent conflict herewith.
