 17 

 if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable by
the Lender. However, any payment deemed to be received or receivable, including any amount treated as income but not actually received by the Lender, such as a Tax Deduction, will not be treated as net income received or receivable for this purpose.

	 	(i)	is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 11.2 (Tax gross-up), Clause 11.8 (FATCA Deduction and gross-up by the Company) or paragraph (b) of Clause 11.9 (FATCA Deduction by the Lender);

  

	 	(ii)	would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 11.2 (Tax gross-up) but was not compensated solely because one of the exclusions in that Clause applied; or

	 	(b)	it has obtained, used and retained that Tax Credit, 

 the Lender must pay an amount to the
Company which the Lender determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been if the Tax Payment had not been required to be made by the Company.

	 	(a)	 All amounts set out, or expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by the Lender which (in whole or in
part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is or becomes chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (b) below, if VAT is chargeable on any supply made by the
Lender to the 

  
 18 

	 	
Company under a Finance Document and the Lender is required to account for the VAT, the Company must pay to the Lender (in addition to and at the same time as paying the consideration for such
supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT and the Lender shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to the Company. 

  

	 	(b)	Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify the Lender for any costs or expenses, that Party must also at the same time reimburse and indemnify (as the case may be) the Lender against all VAT
incurred by the Lender in respect of those costs or expenses but only to the extent that the Lender (acting reasonably) determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of the VAT.

  

	 	(c)	If VAT is chargeable on any supply made by the Lender to any Party under a Finance Document and if reasonably requested by the Lender, that Party must promptly give the Lender details of its VAT registration number (if
applicable) and any other information as is reasonably requested in connection with the Lender’s reporting requirements for the supply.

	 	(B)	not a FATCA Exempt Party; 

  

	 	(ii)	supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with FATCA;

  

	 	(iii)	supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with any other law,
regulation, or exchange of information regime. 

  

	 	(b)	If a Party confirms to the other Party pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) above that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that Party shall
notify that other Party reasonably promptly. 

  

	 	(c)	Paragraph (a) above shall not oblige the Lender to do anything, and paragraph (a)(iii) above shall not oblige any Party to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

  

	 	(i)	any law or regulation; 

  

	 	(ii)	any fiduciary duty; or 

  
 19 

	 	(iii)	any duty of confidentiality.

doubt, where paragraph (c) above applies), then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments under them) as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the Party in question provides the requested
confirmation, forms, documentation or other information. 

  

	 	11.8	FATCA Deduction and gross-up by the Company 

  

	 	(a)	If the Company is required to make a FATCA Deduction, it shall make that FATCA Deduction and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by
FATCA. 

  

	 	(b)	If a FATCA Deduction is required to be made by the Company, the amount of the payment due from the Company shall be increased to an amount which (after making any FATCA Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment
which would have been due if no FATCA Deduction had been required. 

  

	 	(c)	The Company shall promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a FATCA Deduction) notify the Lender accordingly. Similarly, the Lender shall
notify the Company on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to the Lender. 

  

	 	(d)	Within 30 days of making either a FATCA Deduction or any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, the Company making that FATCA Deduction or payment shall deliver to the Lender evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Lender that the FATCA Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment has been paid to the relevant governmental or taxation authority.

	 	(a)	The Lender may make any FATCA Deduction it is required by FATCA to make, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and the Lender shall not be required to increase any payment in respect of which
it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction. The Lender which becomes aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction in respect of a payment to the Company (or that there is any change in
the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction) shall notify the Company. 

  

	 	(b)	If the Lender is required to make a FATCA Deduction which relates to a payment by the Company, the amount of the payment due from the Company shall be increased to an amount which (after the Lender has made such FATCA
Deduction), leaves the Lender with an amount equal to the payment if no FATCA Deduction had been required. 

  
 20 

	 	(c)	The Lender shall promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction which relates to a payment by the Company (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such a FATCA Deduction) notify the
Company. 

  

	 	(d)	The Company shall (within three Business Days of demand by the Lender) pay to the Lender an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which the Lender determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered
