The Borrower covenants and agrees that, whether or not the Loan is made hereunder: (a) all payments by the Borrower to Ex-Im Bank or the Guaranteed Lender (each, an "INDEMNITEE") under or in respect of this Guaranteed Loan Agreement, including amounts payable under clauses (b) and (c) of this sentence, shall be made free and clear of and without reduction by reason of any Taxes, all of which will be paid by the Borrower to the appropriate taxing authority at the time and in the manner prescribed by Applicable Law; (b) in the event that 10 [Form of Guaranteed Loan Agreement] the Borrower is required by Applicable Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from any amounts payable to an Indemnitee on, under or in respect of this Guaranteed Loan Agreement or the Loan or the Note, the Borrower shall pay, on demand of such Indemnitee, to such Indemnitee, such additional amount or amounts as may be required in order that the amount received after deduction or withholding shall equal the full amount stated to be payable under this Guaranteed Loan Agreement as if such deduction or withholding had not been required; (c) the Borrower shall promptly furnish to such Indemnitee satisfactory official tax receipts in respect of any payment of Taxes; and (d) the covenants and agreements of the Borrower under this Section 5 shall survive the repayment of the Loan. Without prejudice to the obligations of the Borrower under the foregoing sentence, in the event and to the extent that the Borrower is required by Applicable Law to deduct or withhold any Tax from any payment due hereunder to an Indemnitee in respect of this Guaranteed Loan Agreement or the Loan or the Note, then the Borrower agrees to withhold from each such payment due hereunder such withholding Taxes at the appropriate rate, and will, on a timely basis and in the manner required by Applicable Law, deposit such amounts with an authorized depository or other relevant Government Body and make such reports, filings and other reports in connection therewith. The Borrower shall promptly furnish to such Indemnitee (but in no event later than the date _____ (_____) days after the due date thereof) the completed relevant form or forms and/or official tax receipts indicating the payment in full of any Tax withheld from any payments by the Borrower for account of such Indemnitee, together with all such other information and documents reasonably requested by such Indemnitee's counsel. If the Borrower fails to pay any such Taxes when due or fails to remit to such Indemnitee the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify and reimburse on demand such Indemnitee on an After Tax Basis for any Taxes, interest, additions, fines or penalties that may become payable as a result of any such failure. Each Indemnitee shall use its reasonable good faith efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to avoid or mitigate such Taxes, provided, however that Ex-Im Bank shall not be required to take any such action if, in Ex-Im Bank's own reasonable determination, to do so would have an adverse effect on Ex-Im Bank, would require Ex-Im Bank to incur any unindemnified cost, expense or Tax, would involve any unlawful activity or would modify the terms of repayment of the Loan. 5.2 Grossing-up of Indemnity Provisions. Where in this Guaranteed Loan Agreement the Borrower has an obligation to indemnify or reimburse an Indemnitee in respect of any loss or payment (including, without limitation, obligations of the Borrower to make a payment to or reimburse an Indemnitee in respect of Taxes, expenses or indemnities) the amount payable shall include the amount necessary to hold such Indemnitee harmless on an After-Tax Basis (computed by taking into account the credit or deduction with respect to such loss or payment available to such Indemnitee in its reasonable determination without such Indemnitee being under any obligation to utilize any credit or deduction for any particular purpose), so as to leave such Indemnitee in the same after-tax position as it would have been in had the indemnity or reimbursement payment made to such Indemnitee not given rise to any liability for any Tax. 5.3 Definitions. The terms "Tax" and "Taxes" as used in this Section 5 shall have the meaning given to such terms in Appendix A hereto; provided, however, that other than with respect to an obligation to gross-up indemnities and any other payments on an After-Tax Basis, the terms "Tax" and "Taxes" shall not include any Tax imposed on the overall net income of any Indemnitee. 11 [Form of Guaranteed Loan Agreement] SECTION 6.
