Notwithstanding this Clause 8.7, to the extent that there is any amount payable in respect of the floating rates of interest on the Initial Term A1 Advance or the Initial Term A3 Advance following set off pursuant to this Clause 8.7 and such amount is not paid, such non-payment will, for
the avoidance of doubt, constitute a Loan Event of Default after the lapse of any relevant grace period.

|12. | TAXES

|    |      

|12.1 | Gross-Up
|---- | --------

| | All payments made by any of the Borrowers to the Issuer under this Agreement (including any payments required to be made by any of the Borrowers under the Guarantees) shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any Tax unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. If any such withholding or deduction is so required (such withholding or deduction, a "Tax Deduction"), the amount of the payment due from the relevant Borrower to the Issuer will be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after that Tax Deduction has been made, the amount received by the Issuer is equal to the amount that it would have received had the relevant Borrower not been required to make such
Tax Deduction (such additional payment, a "Tax Payment").

|12.2 | Tax Receipts
|---- | ------------

| | All Tax Deductions made by any Borrower from any amounts paid or payable to the Issuer under this Agreement as permitted by Clause 12.1 (Gross-Up) shall be paid by the relevant Borrower to the relevant Tax Authority within the time allowed for such payment under applicable law and that Borrower shall, within 30 days after such payment has been made to the appropriate Tax Authority, deliver to the Issuer a Form R185 or an equivalent certificate or voucher in compliance with the provisions of section 352 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988, if applicable, and, if not applicable, such other evidence satisfactory to the Issuer that such payment has been duly remitted to that Tax Authority.
