4. | Sections 4(a) and (b) shall be amended to read as follows: |
(a) | All deliveries of Refined Gold and any other payments and transfers of property of any kind made under this Agreement by or on behalf of the Seller shall be made free and clear and without any present or future deduction, withholding, charge, levy or imposition for or on account of any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Laws. Subject to Section 4(d) below, all Taxes, if any, as are required by Applicable Laws to be deducted, withheld, charged, levied, collected or imposed on any Person on or with respect to any such delivery, payment, deemed payment or transfer made by or on behalf of the Seller shall be paid by the Seller by delivering or paying to the Purchaser, in addition to such delivery, payment or transfer, such additional delivery, payment, deemed payment or transfer as is necessary to ensure that the net amount received by the Purchaser (net of any such Taxes, including any Taxes required to be deducted, withheld, charged, levied, collected or imposed on any such additional amount) equals the full amount that the Purchaser would have received had no such deduction, withholding, charge, levy, collection or imposition been required. |
(b) | If the Purchaser becomes liable for any Tax, other than Excluded Taxes, imposed on any payments, deemed payments or deliveries under this Agreement, the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser for such Tax, and the indemnity payment shall be increased as necessary so that, after the imposition of any Tax on the indemnity payment (including Tax in respect of any such increase in the indemnity payment), the Purchaser shall receive the full amount of Taxes for which it is liable and are due and payable. If reasonably requested by the Seller, the Purchaser will use reasonable efforts to dispute the imposition or assertion of such Taxes by the relevant Governmental Body, all at the Seller’s expense. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Seller by the Purchaser shall be conclusive absent manifest error. |
