Should the Company be required at any time to pay any Additional Amounts (as defined in the Indenture) in connection with any withholding or deduction for or on account of taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature under the terms of the Senior Notes, the Borrower shall also pay on demand by the Company as additional interest hereunder, an amount up to the amount of such Additional Amounts then due under the Senior Notes..
