-55-


 

consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then from time to time, within ten days after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Servicer shall pay (and to the extent the Servicer does not make such payment the Sellers, jointly and severally, shall pay) directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction. For the avoidance of doubt, if the issuance of Interpretation No. 46 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or any other change in accounting standards or the issuance of any other pronouncement, release or interpretation, causes or requires the consolidation of all or a portion of the assets and liabilities of the Originators or Sellers with the assets and liabilities of the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser or any Liquidity Bank, such event shall constitute a circumstance on which such Affected Party may base a claim for reimbursement under this Section 2.15 .

     (f) Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Party’s right to demand or receive such compensation.

      Section 2.16 Taxes .

     (a) All payments made by an Obligor in respect of a Loan and all payments made by the Sellers or the Servicer under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without

All payments in respect of this indemnification shall be made within ten days from the date a written invoice therefor is delivered to the Sellers.

     (c) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment by the Sellers and the Servicer of any Taxes, the Sellers and the Servicer will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each of the Purchaser Agents at its address set forth under its name on the signature pages hereof, appropriate evidence of payment thereof.

     (d) If a Purchaser is not created or organized under the laws of the United States or a political subdivision thereof, such Purchaser shall deliver to the Sellers, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, (i) within fifteen (15) days after the date hereof, two (or such other number as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Laws) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms or other certificates or statements that may be required from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities or Applicable Laws), as appropriate, to permit the Sellers to make payments hereunder for the account of such Purchaser without deduction or withholding of United States federal income or similar Taxes and (ii) upon the obsolescence of or after the occurrence of
