After-Tax Nature of Indemnity Payments. Any payment or indemnity required to be made pursuant to Sections 8.1 or 8.2 hereof shall include any amount necessary to hold the Indemnitee harmless on an after-tax basis from all Taxes required to be paid with respect to the receipt of such payment or indemnity (after taking into account any reduction in Taxes realized by the Indemnitee as a result of the Loss giving rise to the payment or indemnity). In determining the amount necessary to be added to any payment or indemnity in order to accomplish the foregoing, the parties hereto agree (a) to treat all Taxes required to be paid by, and all reductions in Tax realized by any Indemnitee, as if such Indemnitee were subject to tax at the highest marginal tax rates (for both federal and state, as determined on a combined basis) applicable to such Indemnitee and (b) to treat any indemnification payments made to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price, unless either party receives a written opinion, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the other party, of a law firm with appropriate experience and expertise to the effect that it is not or is not likely to be permissible to treat such payments in that manner on a federal, state or local income tax return.
