The Indemnitees agree that a contested claim for which the Lessee would be required to make a reimbursement payment hereunder will not be settled or compromised without the Lessee’s prior written consent or the Indemnitee waives its right to indemnification hereunder and repays the Taxes advanced by the Lessee as a non-interest bearing loan by the Lessee to such Indemnitee without interest. Indemnitee shall endeavor to settle or compromise any such contested claim in accordance with written instructions received from the Lessee; provided, that (i) the Lessee on or before the date the Indemnitee executes a settlement or compromise pays the contested Tax to the extent agreed upon or makes an indemnification payment to the Indemnitee in an amount acceptable to the Indemnitee; and (ii) the settlement or compromise does not, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnitee materially adversely affect the right of the Lessor or such Indemnitee to receive Rent or the Lease Balance or any other payment pursuant to the Operative Documents, or involve a material risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of the affected Leased Property or any interest therein or any matter described in the provisos to the definition of “Permitted Contest.” The failure of an Indemnitee to contest timely a claim against it for any Tax which is subject to indemnification under Section 7.2(a) and for which it has an obligation to the Lessee to contest under this Section 7.2(b) in the manner required by Applicable Law where the Lessee has timely requested (with regard to the time of the initial notification by Indemnitee) that such Indemnitee contest such claim shall relieve the Lessee of its obligations to such Indemnitee under Section 7.2(a) with respect to such claim only to the extent such failure results in the loss of an effective contest. If Applicable Law requires the payment of a contested Tax as a condition to, or regardless of, its being contested, and the Lessee chooses to contest such Tax or to direct the Indemnitee to contest such Tax in accordance with this Section, then the Lessee shall provide the Indemnitee with the funds to pay such Tax, such provision of funds to be deemed a non-interest bearing loan by the Lessee to the Indemnitee to be repaid by any recovery of such Tax (including the amount of any interest received by reason of payment or deposit of the Tax claimed with funds advanced by the Lessee to the Indemnitee with respect to such recovered Tax, payable on a net after-tax basis to the Indemnitee) from such contest and any remaining unpaid amount not recovered to offset the Lessee’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee for such Tax. Lessee shall indemnify the Indemnitee on a Grossed-Up Basis in accordance with Section 7.4 for and against any adverse consequences of any such interest-free loan.
