(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.
