(b) (b) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Recipient (the “Supplier”) to any other Recipient (the “Receiver”) under any Loan Document, and any Party other than the Receiver (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Receiver in respect of that consideration) where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Receiver must (where this Section 11.26(b) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Receiver receives from the relevant tax authority which the Receiver reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply.

(c) Where a Loan Document requires any Loan Party to reimburse or indemnify the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank for any cost or expense, that Loan Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it or an Affiliate is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.”

(d) In relation to any supply made by a Recipient to any Party under any Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Recipient, that Party must promptly provide such Recipient with details of that Party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Recipient’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.”

other document executed in connection therewith to which such Person is or is to be a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein, are within such Loan Party’s corporate or other powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, and do not and will not (a) contravene the terms of any of such Person’s Organization Documents; (b) conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any material Lien under, or require any material payment to be made under (i) any material Contractual Obligation to which such Person is a party or affecting such Person or the properties of such Person or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority or any arbitral award to which such Person or its property is subject; or (c) violate any Law that would adversely affect the rights of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents.

(b) This Amendment, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and each Collateral Document or other document executed in connection herewith or therewith has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is party hereto and thereto.
