9.2 If at any time the Guarantor is required to make any deduction or withholding in respect of Taxes from any payment due under this Agreement, it shall pay the full amount required to be deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation or other authority within the time allowed for such payment under applicable law and the sum due from the Guarantor in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, the Sponsor receives on the due date for such payment (and retains, free from any liability in respect of such deduction or withholding), a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made and the Guarantor and shall indemnify the Sponsor against any losses or costs incurred by it by reason of any failure of the Guarantor to make any such deduction or withholding or by reason of any increased payment not being made on the due date for such payment. The Guarantor shall promptly deliver to the Sponsor any receipts, certificates or other proof evidencing the amounts (if any) paid or payable in respect of any deduction or withholding as aforesaid.
9.3 If, following any such deduction or withholding as is referred to in Clause 8.2 from any payment by the Guarantor, the Sponsor shall receive or be granted a credit against or remission for any Taxes payable by it, the Sponsor shall, subject to the Guarantor having made any increased payment in accordance with Clause 8.2 and to the extent that the Sponsor can do so without prejudicing the retention of the amount of such credit or remission and without prejudice to the right of the Sponsor to obtain any other relief or allowance which may be available to it, reimburse the Guarantor with such amount as the Sponsor shall acting in its absolute discretion certify to be the proportion of such credit or remission as will leave the Sponsor (after such reimbursement) in no worse position than it would have been in had there been no such deduction or withholding from the payment by the Guarantor as aforesaid. Such reimbursement shall be made forthwith upon the Sponsor certifying that the amount of such credit or remission has been received by it. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall oblige the Sponsor to rearrange its tax affairs or to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs and computations. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor shall not, by virtue of this Clause 8.3 be entitled to enquire about the Sponsor’s tax affairs.
9.4 Without prejudice to the foregoing provisions of this Clause 8, if the Sponsor is required to make any payment on account of Tax (not being a Tax imposed on and calculated by reference to the net income or a capital gain of the Sponsor by the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated other than any such Tax (including in respect of any balancing charge) imposed as a consequence of the exercise of the Put Option, the First Call Option or the Second Call Option (after taking into account the acquisition by the Sponsor of the Option Interest or the Residual Partnership Interest as the case may be) or otherwise on or in relation to any sum received or receivable or deemed to be received or receivable hereunder by the Sponsor (including any sum received or receivable or deemed to be received or receivable under this Clause 8) or any liability in respect of any such payment is asserted, imposed, levied or assessed against the Sponsor, the Guarantor shall, upon demand of the Sponsor, promptly indemnify the Sponsor against such payment or liability, together with any interest, penalties, costs and expenses payable or incurred in connection therewith (except to the extent that such interest penalties, costs or expenses have been incurred by the Sponsor’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct) by making to the Sponsor such payment as is necessary to ensure that the Sponsor receives a sum net of such Tax equal to the sum which it would have received had no such Tax been imposed.
9.5 If the Guarantor is required to indemnify the Sponsor pursuant to Clause 8.5 or a Tax arises in respect of which the Guarantor has an obligation under this Clause 8, then, without in any way limiting, reducing or otherwise qualifying any rights or obligations of the Sponsor, the Sponsor shall promptly upon becoming aware of the same notify the Guarantor thereof and, in consultation in good faith with the Guarantor, for a period of up to sixty (60) days from the date of such notification, the Sponsor shall take such steps at the request and expense of the Guarantor as may be open to it to mitigate the effects of such circumstances on the Guarantor including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing by using all reasonable endeavours to transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another office or to a subsidiary or an affiliate of the Sponsor or to another institution, in each case not affected by the relevant circumstances provided that the Sponsor shall not be under any obligation to take or continue to take any such action or other steps if the Guarantor is in breach of this Agreement or if in its reasonable opinion, acting in good faith, to do so would have a material adverse effect on its business, operations or financial condition or the financial basis under which, inter alia, this Agreement has been entered into or would entail any cost or expense to the Sponsor (unless, in the case of any adverse effect on such financial basis, or cost or expense, the Sponsor shall have been indemnified or otherwise secured to its satisfaction).
9.6.1 If a claim shall be made by the Sponsor for any Tax for which the Guarantor may be required to indemnify the Sponsor pursuant to Clause 8.2 or Clause 8.5, and under applicable law of the taxing jurisdiction the Guarantor is allowed to contest directly such Tax in its own name, then without prejudice to the obligation of the Guarantor to pay any sum due to the Sponsor pursuant to this Clause 8 on its due date, the Guarantor shall be permitted, at is expense and in its own name, and with the prior written consent of the Sponsor, to contest the imposition of such claim.
9.6.2 If the Guarantor is prevented by applicable law from validly contesting such claim in its own name or if it is necessary for the Sponsor to join in or assist in the contesting by the Guarantor of any claim, upon request of the Guarantor supported by an opinion of counsel selected by the Guarantor reasonably acceptable to the Sponsor confirming that there is a reasonable basis for contesting the validity, applicability or amount of such Taxes, the Sponsor shall, subject to sub-clause 8.7.3, in good faith, at the Guarantor’s expense, contest or assist in contesting the imposition of such Tax. 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.

Recapture In the event of a material breach of the requirements of this Agreement, GO-Biz will notify Taxpayer in writing of the breach and provide Taxpayer with the opportunity to cure the breach within thirty (30) business days or such longer period as mutually agreed to in writing between the Parties. If Taxpayer fails to cure the breach within the prescribed timeframe, GO-Biz will notify Taxpayer of the failure, the amount of the Allocation that it will recommend to the Committee to be recaptured, and may recommend termination of this Agreement to the Committee. If the material breach is solely the failure of Taxpayer to satisfy Milestones with respect to an Allocation for a particular taxable year, then the recapture will be limited to that particular taxable year’s Allocation and in no event shall a recapture under this Agreement include any Allocation or Allocations that Taxpayer had previously earned provided that Taxpayer satisfies its obligation to retain the required Milestones for three (3) subsequent taxable years. Upon receipt of recommendations from GO-Biz, the Committee will determine whether to accept or reject GO-Biz’s recommendation of recapture, the amount thereof, and the termination of this Agreement, based on Taxpayer’s failure to fulfill the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Upon approval of the Committee to recapture some or all of the Allocation awarded for failure of Taxpayer to fulfill the terms of this Agreement, GO-Biz will notify the FTB in writing as required under the applicable statutes and regulations. Any amount of additional tax resulting from that recapture shall be assessed by the FTB in the same manner as provided by RTC section 19051. The additional tax resulting from a recapture will be assessed in the taxable year of Taxpayer in which the Committee’s recapture determination occurred.
Withholding and Taxes No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the Grantee for income tax purposes or subject to the Federal Insurance Contributions Act withholding with respect to this Award, the Grantee will pay to the Company or, if appropriate, any of its affiliates, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any United States federal, state or local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount.
