• Straddle Period Taxes Seller shall, at its own expense, prepare and timely file all Tax Returns relating to all real property Taxes, personal property Taxes or similar ad valorem obligations levied (i) on the owner of the Transferred Loans for any taxable period that begins before the Cut-Off Time and ends after the Cut-Off Time and (ii) on the owner of all other CIT Bank Purchased Assets for any taxable period that begins before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date (each such taxable period, a “Straddle Period”, and such Taxes, “Straddle Period Taxes”), whether imposed or assessed before or after the Cut-Off Time or the Closing Date, as appropriate. Buyers shall be liable for and shall indemnify Seller, its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents, and representatives against all liability for the amount of such Straddle Period Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending after the Cut-Off Time for the Transferred Loans and after the Closing Date for all other CIT Bank Purchased Assets and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire relevant Straddle Period. Seller shall be liable for and shall indemnify Buyers, their Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents, and representatives against all liability for the amount of such Straddle Period Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending before the Cut-Off Time for the Transferred Loans and ending on or before the Closing Date for all other CIT Bank Purchased Assets and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire relevant Straddle Period.

After considering any views offered by the Sponsor and the Sponsor’s counsel concerning the forum in which a claim is most likely to be favourably resolved, the Guarantor may in its sole discretion select the forum for such consent and determine whether any such contest shall be by (a) resisting payment of such Tax, (b) paying such Tax under protest, (c) paying such Tax and seeking a refund or other repayment thereof or (d) seeking a reduction in the amount of such Tax. 9.6.3 In no event shall the Sponsor be required to contest nor shall the Sponsor be required to join in or assist in contesting the imposition of any such Tax: (a) if the Sponsor reasonably believes that to do so would be prejudicial to its interest; (b) unless the Guarantor shall have agreed to pay the Sponsor on demand, and indemnify the Sponsor from, all reasonable costs and expenses that the Sponsor incurs in contesting or assisting in contesting such claim or arising out of or relating to such contest or assistance (including, but not limited to, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses, losses, reasonable legal and accounting fees, disbursements, penalties and interest); and (c) if such contest shall be conducted in a manner requiring the prior payment of the claim by the Sponsor or, if the Guarantor shall request the Sponsor to make payment thereof pursuant to sub-clauses (b) or (c) of Clause 8.7.2 unless the Guarantor shall have advanced to the Sponsor sufficient funds (on an interest free basis) (and if such payment results in Taxable income to the Sponsor in respect of which the Sponsor does not receive a corresponding deduction, on an after tax basis) to make such payment.

In the event that a tax payment is withheld and ultimately due and payable after appeal, Interconnection Customer will be responsible for all taxes, interest and penalties, other than penalties attributable to any delay caused by the Interconnected Transmission Owner.
