The Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall not make the election provided under Section 754 of the Code. The Owner Trustee may satisfy its obligations with respect to this Section 5.5 by retaining, on behalf of the Trust, at the expense of the Seller, a firm of independent public accountants (the “Accountants”) selected by the Seller. The Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, may require the Accountants to provide to the Owner Trustee, on or before March 15, 2023, a letter in form and substance satisfactory to the Owner Trustee as to whether any federal tax withholding on Certificates is then required and, if required, the procedures to be followed with respect thereto to comply with the requirements of the Code. The Accountants shall be required to update such letter in each instance that any additional tax withholding is subsequently required or any previously required tax withholding shall no longer be required. The Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have discharged its obligations pursuant to this Section 5.5 upon its retention of the Accountants, and the Owner Trustee shall not have any liability with respect to the default or misconduct of the Accountants.
Accounting and Reports to the Certificateholders, the Internal Revenue Service and Others The Administrator shall deliver to each Certificateholder, as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, or as may be requested by such Certificateholder, such information, reports or statements as may be necessary to enable each Certificateholder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns. Consistent with the Trust’s characterization for tax purposes as a disregarded entity so long as the Depositor or any other Person is the sole Certificateholder, no federal income tax return shall be filed on behalf of the Trust unless either (i) the Owner Trustee shall be provided with an Opinion of Counsel that, based on a change in applicable law occurring after the date hereof, or as a result of a transfer permitted by Section 3.04, the Code requires such a filing or (ii) the Internal Revenue Service shall determine that the Trust is required to file such a return. In the event that there shall be two or more beneficial owners of the Trust, the Administrator shall inform the Indenture Trustee in writing of such event, (x) the Administrator shall prepare or shall cause to be prepared federal and, if applicable, state or local partnership tax returns, with all such necessary information provided to it, required to be filed by the Trust and shall remit such returns to the Depositor (or if the Depositor no longer owns any Certificates, the Certificateholder designated for such purpose by the Depositor to the Owner Trustee in writing) at least (5) days before such returns are due to be filed, and (y) capital accounts shall be maintained by the Administrator for each Certificateholder in accordance with the Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code reflecting each such Certificateholder’s share of the income, gains, deductions, and losses of the Trust and/or guaranteed payments made by the Trust and contributions to, and distributions from, the Trust. The Depositor (or such designee Certificateholder, as applicable) shall promptly sign such returns and deliver such returns after signature to the Administrator and such returns shall be filed by the Administrator with the appropriate tax authorities. In the event that a “tax matters partner” (within the meaning of Code Section 6231(a)(7)) is required to be appointed with respect to the Trust, the Depositor or its designee is hereby designated as tax matters partner or, if the Depositor is not a Certificateholder, the Certificateholder selected by a majority of the Certificateholders (by Percentage Interest) shall be designated as tax matters partner. In no event shall the Certificateholder or the Depositor (or such designee Certificateholder, as applicable) be liable for any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Trust or the Noteholders arising out of the application of any tax law, including federal, state, foreign or local income or excise taxes or any other tax imposed on or measured by income (or any interest, penalty or addition with respect thereto or arising from a failure to comply therewith) except for any such liability, cost or expense attributable to any negligent act or omission by the Owner Trustee or the Depositor (or such designee Certificateholder, as applicable), as the case may be, in breach of its obligations under this Agreement.

4.7.5 To the knowledge of each of the Seller Parties, the unpaid Taxes of Sellers (a) did not, as of the Most Recent Fiscal Month End, exceed the reserve for Tax Liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the Most Recent Balance Sheet (rather than in any notes thereto) and (b) do not exceed that reserve as adjusted for the passage of time through the Closing Date in accordance with the past custom and practice of Sellers in filing their Tax Returns.
