withheld or
assessed by any authority having power to tax unless the withholding or
deduction of
such taxes or duties is required by law, In that event, unless otherwise
agreed, the
paying party shall pay such additional amounts as will result in the net
amounts
receivable by the other party (after taking account of such withholding or
deduction)
being equal to such amounts as would have been received by it had no such
taxes or
duties been required to be withheld or deducted. For the avoidance of doubt,
the

amounts shall be payable by the paying party to the other party under this
subparagraph (b)(i) to the extent that such lax is imposed or collected
under FATCA.
(i)
If the paying parly is required to make a withholding or deduction under

"(k) If at any time a party (the "first party") is required to remit an

with respect to a payment under a Transaction in connection with FATCA, then
without
duplication of any amount the first party has deducted on account of such
tax from any
amount previously paid to the other party (the "second party") pursuant to

second party shall be required to pay to the first party an amount equal to

"(I) For the avoidance of doubt, the imposition of any withholding or
deduction pursuant to or
on account of FATCA on any amounts paid or received under a Transaction
shall not be
treated as an Fvcnl of Default under paragr^h 10 or as a material adverse

cause a Tax Event under paragraph 11, even if such imposition results in
