In the event any withholding or deduction on payments in respect of the notes for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge is required to be deducted or withheld by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, we, or the guarantor, as the case may be, shall remit the full amount required to be deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) so that every net payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the notes will result in receipt by each holder of a note of such amounts (after all such withholding or deduction, including on any additional amounts) as would have been received had no such withholding or deduction been required.
