Any such amount shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

 

2.2.8        Usury Savings.

 

This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate.

the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

 

2.2.9        Foreign Taxes.

 

The provisions of this Section 2.2.9 shall only apply so long as a Securitization has not occurred. All payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, Foreign Taxes or U.S. Taxes, excluding, in the case of Lender or any Co-Lender, Foreign Taxes or U.S. Taxes measured by its net income, receipts, capital, net worth and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Lender or any Co-Lender is resident or organized, or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of Lender or any Co-Lender, taxes measured by its overall net income, receipts, capital, net worth and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of Lender’s or such Co-Lender’s applicable lending office or any political subdivision thereof or in which Lender or such Co-Lender is resident or engaged in business. If any non excluded Foreign Taxes or U.S. Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender or any Co-Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Lender or such Co-Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender or such Co-Lender (after payment of all non excluded Foreign Taxes or U.S. Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any non excluded Foreign Tax or U.S. Tax is payable pursuant to Applicable Law by Borrower, Borrower shall send to Lender or the applicable Co-Lender, within thirty (30) days after such payment, an original official receipt showing payment of such non excluded Foreign Tax or U.S. Tax or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender or the applicable Co-Lender. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender and each Co-Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender or any Co-Lender which may result from any failure or delay by Borrower to pay any such non excluded Foreign Tax or U.S. Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority or any failure or delay by Borrower to remit to Lender or any Co-Lender the required receipts or other reasonable evidence of such payment, provided, however , that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (a) the obligation to pay such additional amounts required under this Section 2.2.9 shall not apply to any Foreign Taxes which otherwise constitute Excluded Taxes and (b) in the event that Lender or any Co-Lender or any successor and/or assign of Lender or any Co-Lender is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof, Lender and any such Co-Lender agrees that, prior to the first date on which any payment is due such entity hereunder, it will deliver to Borrower (i) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such entity is entitled to receive payments under the Note, without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, or (ii) an Internal Revenue

 

39



 

Service Form W-9 or successor applicable form, as the case may be, to establish an exemption from United States backup withholding tax on all interest payments hereunder. Each entity required to deliver to Borrower a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or Form W-9 pursuant to the preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to Borrower two (2) further copies of such letter and W-8BEN or W-8ECI or Form W-9, or successor applicable forms, or other manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such letter or form expires (which, in the case of the Form W-8ECI, is the last day of each U.S. taxable year of the non U.S. entity) or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent letter and form previously delivered by it to Borrower, and such other extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by Borrower, certifying in the case of a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI that such entity is entitled to receive payments under the Note without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless in any such case any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such entity from duly completing and delivering any such letter or form with respect to it and such entity advises Borrower that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax, and in the case of a Form W-9, establishing an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such entity fails to provide a duly completed Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or other applicable form and, under Applicable Law, in order to avoid liability for Foreign Taxes or U.S. Taxes, Borrower is required to withhold on payments made to such entity that has failed to provide the applicable form, Borrower shall be entitled to withhold the appropriate amount of Foreign Taxes or U.S. Taxes and Borrower shall have no obligation to pay any additional amounts to such entity under this Section 2.2.9. In such event, Borrower shall promptly provide to such entity evidence of payment of such Foreign Taxes or U.S. Taxes to the appropriate taxing authority and shall promptly forward to such entity any official tax receipts or other documentation with respect to the payment of the Foreign Taxes or U.S. Taxes as may be issued by the taxing authority.

40



 

Loan outstanding immediately prior to such prepayment as the amount of the Loan prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.3.1 bears to the principal amount of the Loan outstanding immediately prior to such prepayment; and (iii) if such prepayment occurs prior to the Prepayment Consideration Period End Date, Borrower pays to Lender the Prepayment Consideration.

 

Borrower shall be permitted the right to rescind and revoke or postpone its notice of prepayment given in accordance with this Section 2.3.1, provided that (i) a written notice of such rescission and revocation or postponement is received by Lender no sooner than three (3) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment indicated by Borrower and (ii) Borrower pays Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred as a result of Lender’s receipt of such notice of prepayment.

In the event Lender receives a distribution of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service on a date other than a Payment Date, such amounts shall be held by Lender as collateral security for the Loan in an interest bearing account, with such interest accruing to the benefit of Borrower, and shall be applied by Lender in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence on the next Payment Date. No Prepayment Consideration or any other prepayment premium or penalty shall be due in connection with any prepayment made as a result of any of the events described in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.3.2(a).
