Contests. If a written claim is made by any taxing authority against a Tax Indemnitee for any Taxes with respect to which the Lessee may be required to indemnify against hereunder or if a Tax Indemnitee shall determine that any tax to which the Lessee may have an indemnity obligation hereunder may be payable (a "Tax Claim"), then such Tax Indemnitee shall give the Lessee written notice of such Tax Claim promptly (but in any event within twenty (20) days after its receipt of the written Tax Claim or its determination, as applicable), and shall furnish Lessee with copies of such Tax Claim and all other writings received from the taxing authority to the extent relating to such claim (but failure to so notify the Lessee shall not relieve the Lessee of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that it effectively precludes the ability of the Lessee to conduct a contest of the Tax Claim).

If the Lessee shall so request within 30 days after receipt of such notice (or such shorter period as is reasonably specified by the Tax Indemnitee if any contest of the Tax must be commenced prior to the expiration of 30 days), then such Tax Indemnitee shall in good faith at Lessee's sole expense contest such Tax or permit the Lessee to contest such Tax, as such Tax Indemnitee shall elect; provided, however, that to the extent (i) the contest involves only Taxes constituting property taxes, sales taxes, or use taxes, (ii) the contest does not involve any taxes that the Lessee is not required to indemnify the Tax Indemnitee or taxes and other issues relating to a Tax Indemnitee that are unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements, (iii) the contest can be pursued in the name of the Lessee and independently from any other proceeding involving a Tax Claim of a Tax ...
