Tax Matters. For purposes of [Sections 4(a)(i) and (ii)])] of the Agreement, [[Organization B:Organization]] agrees to deliver to [[Organization A:Organization]] one duly executed and completed United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor thereto) and [[Organization A:Organization]] shall provide to [[Organization B:Organization]] one duly executed and completed United States Internal Revenue Service Form ​​56 (or successor thereto). Such forms shall be delivered # upon execution and delivery of this Confirmation, # promptly upon reasonable request of the other party and # promptly upon learning that any such form previously provided by the other party has become obsolete or incorrect.

Withholding Tax. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent that will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. On or before the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), the Lender shall deliver to Borrowers and Agent two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY or W-8ECI, as applicable (or any subsequent replacement or substitute form therefor), together with any attachments or exhibits required by such forms, certifying that such Lender can receive payment of Obligations without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each Lender and Agent agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. During any period that a Lender does not or is unable to establish that it can receive payments without deduction or withholding of such taxes, other than by a change in treaty or law that occurs after it becomes a Lender, Agent may withhold taxes from payments to such Lender at the applicable statutory and treaty rates, and Borrowers shall not be required to pay any additional amounts under this [Section 12.9] or [Section 2.11] as a result of such withholding.

Each of the Credit Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally (subject to the last sentence of this [Section 3.01(c)(i)]) indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Parent Borrower by a Lender or an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the applicable Administrative Agent), or by the applicable Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each of the Credit Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify each Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or an L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the applicable Administrative Agent as required pursuant to [Section 3.01(c)(ii)] below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Canadian Borrower shall have no obligations under this paragraph other than for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes in each case related to the Canadian Obligations.
