(c) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of Interest, Facility Fees or any other interest or fee payable hereunder, as the case may be.

(d) If any Borrowing requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02 is not for any reason whatsoever made or effectuated (other than through the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Lenders and/or Agent) on the date specified therefor in such request, the Borrower shall indemnify the applicable Lender and each Funding Source against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender or such Funding Source in connection therewith, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits, commercial paper proceeds or other funds acquired by such Lender or such Funding Source to fund or maintain such Borrowing.

A certificate from the relevant Affected Party setting forth in reasonable detail the amounts so required to compensate such Affected Party submitted to the Borrower shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) If any Affected Party requests compensation under this Section 2.10, or the Borrower are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, any Funding Source or any Governmental Authority for the account of such Lender or Funding Source pursuant to Section 2.11 or if the Agent gives a notice pursuant to Section 2.10(b), then such Lender or such Funding Source shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or such Funding Source, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.10 or Section 2.11, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 2.10(b), as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or such Funding Source to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or such Funding Source. The Borrower hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Lender or such Funding Source in connection with any such designation or assignment.

Section 2.11 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments and deposits required to be made hereunder or under any other Related Document by any GWG Party shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding net income taxes that are imposed by the United States and franchise taxes and net income taxes that are imposed on any Affected Party by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such Affected Party is organized or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any GWG Party or the Agent shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Affected Party, (i) the Borrower shall make an additional payment to such Affected Party, in an amount sufficient so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.11), such Affected Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such GWG Party or the Agent, as the case may be, shall make such deductions and (iii) such GWG Party or the Agent, as the case may be, shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agree to pay any present or future stamp or other documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any other Related Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Related Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Borrower will indemnify each Affected Party for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.11) paid by such Affected Party and any liability (including, without limitation, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date the Affected Party (i) makes written demand therefor (and a copy of such demand shall be delivered to the Agent), (ii) provides a certificate as to the amount of such indemnification submitted to the Borrower and the Agent by such Affected Party certifying that such payment has been made and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for and the calculation thereof, which shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error, and (iii) provides a copy of or extract from documentation furnished by such taxing authority evidencing assertion or payment of such Taxes and Other Taxes, if available.

(d) Each Lender and each Funding Source who is organized outside the United States shall, prior to the Restatement Effective Date (or, in the case of any Person who becomes a Funding Source after the Restatement Effective Date, prior to the date on which it so becomes a Funding Source), deliver to the Borrower and the Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, including Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI and any other certificate or statement of exemption required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(a) or Section 1.1441-6(c) or any subsequent version thereof, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender or such Funding Source, as applicable, establishing that such payment is (i) not subject to withholding under the Code because such payment is effectively connected with the conduct by such Lender or such Funding Source, as applicable, of a trade or business in the United States or (ii) totally exempt from United States tax under a provision of an applicable tax treaty. Each of the Lenders and such Funding Source that changes its funding office shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of such change and, upon written request from the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver any new certificates, documents or other evidence required pursuant to the preceding sentence prior to the immediately following due date of any payment by the Borrower hereunder. Unless the Borrower and the Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments hereunder are not subject to United States withholding tax, notwithstanding paragraph (a), the Borrower or the Agent shall withhold taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate in the case of payments to or for the Lenders and any Funding Source organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States.

(e) The Borrower shall not be required to pay any amounts to any Affected Party in respect of Taxes and Other Taxes pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above if the obligation to pay such amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Affected Party to comply with the provisions of paragraph (d) above unless such Affected Party is unable to comply with paragraph (d) because of (i) a change in applicable law, regulation or official interpretation thereof or (ii) an amendment, modification or revocation of any applicable tax treaty or a change in official position regarding the application or interpretation thereof, in each case after the Restatement Effective Date (or, in the case of any Person who became an Affected Party after the Restatement Effective Date, after the date on which it so became an Affected Party).
