4.10

Illegality.

If any Applicable Law coming into force after the Closing Date, or if any change in any existing Applicable Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any court or Governmental Authority, now or hereafter makes it unlawful for Lender to have advanced or acquired interest in the Loan or to give effect to its obligations in respect thereof, Lender may, by written notice thereof to the Borrower, declare its obligations under this Agreement to be terminated, and the Borrower shall prepay, within the time required by such law, the principal amount of the Loan together with accrued interest thereon and any other amounts owing under this Agreement as may be applicable to the date of such payment. If any such event shall, in the opinion of Lender, only affect part of its obligations under this Agreement, the remainder of this Agreement shall be unaffected and the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents shall continue.

4.11

Increased Costs.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, in the event that the introduction of or any change in any Applicable Law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority:

(a) subjects Lender to any new tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Loan, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to Lender of principal, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax imposed on the overall net income of Lender); or

(b) imposes, modifies, holds applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against Property held by, or deposits or other obligations in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to materially increase the cost to Lender of agreeing to make, making, continuing or maintaining or participating in the Loan, or to materially reduce any amount receivable thereunder or to materially increase the withholding taxes payable then, in any such case, the Borrower shall pay Lender, after demand by Lender, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender on an after-tax basis for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable or increased withholding taxes payable with respect to any Loan Document or the Loan made hereunder.

To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable against the Borrower because it violates any law or public policy, the Borrower shall satisfy such undertaking to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law. Any Losses covered by this indemnity shall be paid to each Indemnified Party on demand, and, failing prompt payment, shall, together with interest thereon at the Deemed Interest Rate from the date incurred by each Indemnified Party until paid in full, be added to the Obligations and be secured by the Collateral. The provisions of this Section 12.1 shall survive the satisfaction and payment of all Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts so payable to Lender hereunder or under any Loan Documents the amounts so payable shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the recipient (after payment of all Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents. If the Borrower is required by Applicable Law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Taxes or other amount from any sum paid or expressed to be payable to Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then: (i) such Loan Party shall notify Lender of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as it becomes aware of it; (ii) such Loan Party shall pay any such Taxes or other amount before the date on which penalties attached thereto become due and payable; (iii) the sum payable by the Borrower in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment, the recipient receives on the due date and retains (free from any liability in respect of any such deduction, withholding or payment) a sum equal to that which it would have received and so retained had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and (iv) within thirty (30) days after payment of any sum from which the Borrower is required by Applicable Law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty (30) days after the due date of payment of any Taxes or other amount which it is required by clause (ii) above to pay, it shall deliver to Lender all such certified documents and other evidence as to the making of such deduction, withholding or payment as (A) are reasonably satisfactory to Lender as proof of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority and (B) are reasonably required by Lender to enable it to claim a tax credit with respect to such deduction, withholding or payment. If a Loan Party fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority, such Loan Party shall indemnify Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender as a result of any such failure. The provisions of this Section 12.2 shall survive the satisfaction and payment of all Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
