If Buyer requires tax residence certificates from Seller to apply for any exempted or reduced tax regime, Seller shall submit the appropriate certificates upon Buyers written request.
If Buyer, under the Applicable Laws of any country other than Sellers country of incorporation or in which Seller has a branch, deducts or withholds Seller Taxes or fails to comply with the requirements of this Article 8.3, Buyer shall pay additional amounts to Seller so Seller receives the full amount of the Contract Price, as if no such Seller Taxes were deducted or withheld.

8.5.
