Each Party shall timely pay all Asset Taxes subject to allocation under this Section and shall furnish to the other Party evidence of such payment. The Parties shall estimate all Asset Taxes asserted against it that are attributable to the ownership or operation of the Assets to the extent they relate to the period on and after the Effective Time and through the Closing Date and all Subject Transfer Taxes and incorporate such estimates into the Preliminary Settlement Statement. The actual amounts (to the extent the actual amounts differ from the estimates included in the Preliminary Settlement Statement and are known at the time of the Final Settlement Statement) shall be accounted for in the Final Settlement Statement. If the actual amounts are not known at the time of the Final Settlement Statement, the amounts shall be re-estimated based on the best information available at the time of the Final Settlement Statement. When the actual amounts are known, Buyer or SM Energy shall make such payments to the other (if any) as are necessary to effect the allocation of Taxes described in this Section 10.1.
