as set forth in Section 3.2 .

agrees that the Specified Payment Premium shall be payable upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default described in

the Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this
Agreement or any payment hereunder, or change the basis of taxation
of payments to the Lender in respect thereof; or
26
(ii) shall impose
on the Lender any other condition;
and the result
of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lender of
making or maintaining the Term Loan, or to reduce any amount
receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case,
the Borrower shall promptly pay the Lender, upon its demand *(which
demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis

reasonable detail), the Borrower shall pay to Lender such
additional amount as will compensate Lender for such increased cost

or any other Loan Document shall be made without setoff,
counterclaim or defense of and free and clear of and without
deduction or withholding for any and all Taxes, excluding taxes
measured by overall net income and franchise taxes in lieu of
overall net income imposed on the Lender, by the jurisdiction (or
political subdivision thereof) in which it is organized or in which
its principal office is located (all such non-excluded Taxes being
herein referred to as “ Covered Taxes ”). If the
Borrower, Holdings or Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required by any
Applicable Law to deduct any Covered Taxes from or in respect of
any payment hereunder or otherwise under the Loan Documents to any
Person, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be
necessary so that after making all required deductions and
withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to
any additional payments made under this Section 4.4 )
such Person receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deductions or withholdings been made,
(ii) the Borrower, Holdings or Subsidiary Guarantor (or the
Lender, as applicable) shall make such deductions or withholdings
at the applicable rate and (iii) the Borrower, Holdings or the
Subsidiary Guarantor (or the Lender, as applicable) shall pay the

Document or from the execution, enforcement, delivery or
registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to,
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including all penalties,
interest, additions and liabilities in respect thereof (hereinafter
referred to as “ Other Taxes ”).
27
(c) If any Obligor
is required to deduct or pay any Covered Taxes, Other Taxes or
other amount under this Section 4.4 from or in respect
of any amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document to any Indemnified Party, then such Obligor shall also pay
to such Indemnified Party at the time interest is paid, such
additional amount that such Indemnified Party specifies is
necessary to preserve the after-Tax yield (after figuring in all
Taxes, including taxes imposed on or measured by net income) that
such Indemnified Party would have received if such Covered Taxes,
Other Taxes or other amount had not been payable.
(d) The Borrower
will indemnify each Indemnitee (i) for the full amount of
Covered Taxes and Other Taxes, (including any Covered Taxes and
Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction (or any political
subdivision thereof) on amounts payable under this
Section 4.4 ), payable by such Indemnitee and any
liability (including penalties, interest, additions and expenses)
arising therefrom or with respect thereto, and (ii) for any
present or future claims, liabilities or losses with respect to or
resulting from any failure or delay by the Borrower to pay, or any
failure or delay by the Borrower to file any Tax Return with
respect to, any Covered Taxes or Other Taxes (including interest,
penalties, additions and expenses, whether or not such Taxes were
correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made
within ten days from the date such Indemnitee makes written demand
therefor.
(e) Within
ten days after the date of any payment of Covered Taxes, Other
Taxes or any interest, penalties, or any liability related thereto,
the Borrower shall furnish to the Lender, at its address referred
to in Section 12.2 , the original or certified copy of
a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower,

obligations of the Borrower, Holdings or the Subsidiary Guarantors
contained in this Section 4.4 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the occurrence of the Termination
