Such Company (or its Affiliates) shall not, without the prior written consent of the other Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), file, or cause to be filed, any such amended Tax Return or claim for Tax refund, credit or offset to the extent that such filing, if accepted, is likely to increase the Taxes allocated to, or the Tax indemnity obligations under this Agreement of, such other Company for any Tax Year (or portion thereof); provided, however, that such consent need not be obtained if the Company filing the amended Tax Return by written notice to the other Company agrees to indemnify the other Company for the incremental Taxes allocated to, or the incremental Tax indemnity obligation resulting under this Agreement to, such other Company as a result of the filing of such amended Tax Return.
Tax Returns and Elections The Company shall cause to be prepared and timely filed all federal, state and local income tax returns or other returns or statements required by applicable law.

Tax Returns, Payments and Elections The Company has filed all tax returns and reports (including information returns and reports) as required by law. These returns and reports are true and correct in all material respects except to the extent that a reserve has been reflected on the Financial Statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company has paid all taxes and other assessments due, except those contested by it in good faith that are listed in the Schedule of Exceptions and except to the extent that a reserve has been reflected on the Financial Statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The provision for taxes of the Company as shown in the Financial Statements is adequate for taxes due or accrued as of the date thereof. The Company has not elected pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to be treated as a Subchapter S corporation or a collapsible corporation pursuant to Section 1362(a) or Section 341(f) of the Code, nor has it made any other elections pursuant to the Code (other than elections that relate solely to methods of accounting, depreciation or amortization) that would have a material effect on the Company, its financial condition, its business as presently conducted or proposed to be conducted or any of its properties or material assets. The Company has never had any tax deficiency proposed or assessed against it and has not executed any waiver of any statute of limitations on the assessment or collection of any tax or governmental charge. None of the Company’s federal income tax returns and none of its state income or franchise tax or sales or use tax returns have ever been audited by governmental authorities. Since the Financial Statement Date, the Company has not incurred any taxes, assessments or governmental charges other than in the ordinary course of business and the Company has made adequate provisions on its books of account for all taxes, assessments and governmental charges with respect to its business, properties and operations for such period. The Company has withheld or collected from each payment made to each of its employees, the amount of all taxes (including, but not limited to, federal income taxes, Federal Insurance Contribution Act taxes and Federal Unemployment Tax Act taxes) required to be withheld or collected therefrom, and has paid the same to the proper tax receiving officers or authorized depositories.
Tax Audits (a) The Managing Member is hereby designated as the “tax matters partner,” as that term is defined in Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code (the “Tax Matters Partner”), of the Company, with all of the rights, duties and powers provided for in Sections 6221 through 6234 of the Code, inclusive, provided however that in the case of a removal of the Managing Member after the occurrence of any Removal Event, the Investor shall have the right to assume the rights and duties of the Tax Matters Partner and to be designated as such. The Managing Member is hereby directed and authorized to take whatever steps it, in its reasonable discretion, deems necessary or desirable to perfect such designation, including filing any forms or documents with the IRS and taking such other action as may from time to time be required under the Treasury Regulations. The Managing Member shall remain as the Tax Matters Partner so long as it retains any ownership interests in the Company unless the Investor assumes the rights and duties of the Tax Matters Partner under the proviso to the first sentence of this paragraph.
(b) The Tax Matters Partner, in Consultation with the other Members, shall use reasonable commercial efforts to direct the defense of any claims made by any tax authority to the extent that such claims relate to the adjustment of Company items at the Company level and, in connection therewith, shall cause the Company to retain and to pay the fees and expenses of counsel and other advisors chosen by the Tax Matters Partner in Consultation with the other Members. The Tax Matters Partner shall promptly deliver to each Member a copy of all notices, communications, reports and writings received from the IRS by the Company or the Tax Matters Partner relating to or potentially resulting in an adjustment of Company items, shall promptly advise each Member of the substance of any conversations with the tax authorities in connection therewith and shall keep the Members advised of all developments with respect to any proposed adjustments that come to its attention.

The Tax Matters Partner will provide each Member with notice reasonably in advance of any meetings or conferences with respect to any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to the determination of Company items at the Company level (including any meetings or conferences with counsel or advisors to the Company with respect to such proceedings) and each Member shall have the right to participate, at its sole cost and expense, in any such meetings or conferences.
(c) The Tax Matters Partner shall not, without a Required Majority Vote, (i) except in the case of any claim by the IRS that could give rise to an indemnity claim under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in respect of federal income taxes or the loss of federal income tax benefits (a “Tax Loss Contest”), commence a judicial action (including filing a petition as contemplated in Section 6226(a) or Section 6228 of the Code) with respect to a federal income tax matter or appeal any adverse determination of a judicial tribunal; (ii) enter into a settlement agreement with the IRS which purports to bind the Members; (iii) intervene in any action as contemplated by Section 6226(b) of the Code; (iv) file any request contemplated in Section 6227(c) of the Code; or (v) except in the case of a Tax Loss Contest, enter into an agreement extending the period of limitations as contemplated in Section 6229(b)(1)(B) of the Code. Any cost or expense incurred by the Tax Matters Partner in connection with its duties as Tax Matters Partner shall be paid by the Company.
(d) If for any reason the IRS disregards the election made by the Company pursuant to Section 7.5(c) and commences any audit or proceeding in which it makes a claim, or proposes to make a claim, against any Member that could reasonably be expected to result in the disallowance or adjustment of any items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (including Tax Credits) allocated to such Member by the Company, then such Member shall promptly advise the other Members of the same, and such Member, in Consultation with the other Members, shall at the expense of the Company use best efforts to convert the portion of such audit or proceeding that relates to such items into a proceeding at the level of the Company consistent with the election of the Company pursuant to Section 7.5(c). In the case of any such audit or proceeding involving the Investor for a tax period prior to or including the Flip Date, if the Investor is not successful in converting the portion of such audit or proceeding that relates to such items into a proceeding at the level of the Company, the Company shall reimburse the Investor for all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in contesting such claim.
(e) If any Member intends to file, pursuant to Section 6227 of the Code, a request for an administrative adjustment of any such partnership item of the Company, or to file a petition under Sections 6226, 6228 or other Sections of the Code with respect to any such partnership item or any other tax matter involving the Company, such Member shall, at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to any such filing, notify the other Members of such intent, which notification must include a reasonable description of the contemplated action and the reasons for such action; provided, however, that this Section 7.7(e) shall not relieve such Member’s obligation to use all commercially reasonable efforts to convert a Member level proceeding into a Company level proceeding as provided in Section 7.7(d).
Litigation Matters If the FDIC Party and the Assuming Institution do not agree to submit the Dispute Item to arbitration, the Dispute Item may be resolved by litigation in accordance with Federal or state law, as provided in Section 13.10 of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement.
