at source by or on behalf of any jurisdiction in which such Guarantor is
incorporated, organized, or otherwise tax resident or any political subdivision
or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax (the "Relevant Taxing
Jurisdiction") unless such withholding or deduction is required by law, in
which event, such Guarantor will pay to the Holders such additional amounts
(the "Additional Amounts") as shall be necessary in order that the net amounts
received by the Holders, after such withholding or deduction, shall equal the

or rulings of a jurisdiction in which the Issuer or any Guarantor is incorporated,
organized, or otherwise tax resident or any political subdivision or any authority
thereof or therein having power to tax, or in the interpretation, application or
administration of any such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings (including a
holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction) which becomes
effective on or after 11 July 2012 (any such change or amendment, a "Change in
Tax Law"), the Issuer or (if a payment were then due under a Guarantee, the
relevant Guarantor) would be required to pay Additional Amounts and (ii) such
obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer (or the relevant Guarantor) taking
reasonable measures available to it, provided, however, that any series of Notes
may not be redeemed to the extent such Additional Amounts arise solely as a
result of the
