Contests Sample Clauses

Contests. (a) The Tax Indemnitee shall notify the Stockholders’ Representative in writing promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days, of becoming aware of the commencement after the Closing Date of any Contest that could give rise to an indemnification payment under Section 7.1 (the specific issues that could give rise to such indemnification are referred to herein as “Tax Indemnifiable Matters”). Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known to the Tax Indemnitee or its Affiliates) with respect to Tax Indemnifiable Matters in reasonable detail and shall include copies of any notice or other document (to the extent such notice or document relates to Tax Indemnifiable Matters) received from any Governmental Authority in respect thereof. (b) The Tax Indemnitee shall control all Contests, but to the extent that a Contest involves issues for which the Tax Indemnitee may be entitled to a payment under Section 7.1(a), the Stockholders’ Representative or its duly appointed representatives shall be allowed to attend all meetings between the Tax Indemnitee and the Governmental Authority in question and shall be provided with copies of all material correspondence and documents, to the extent relating to Tax Indemnifiable Matters. Neither the Tax Indemnitee nor any of its Affiliates may settle or compromise any asserted Tax liability in a Contest, to the extent relating to Tax Indemnifiable Matters, without the consent of the Stockholders’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. For the avoidance of doubt, a Tax Indemnitee’s decision not to contest a Contest will be considered to be a settlement of that Contest for purposes of the preceding sentence. For purposes of this Section 7.5(b), if the Tax Indemnitee and the Stockholders’ Representative cannot come to agreement as to whether consent is being, or will be, unreasonably withheld or delayed within 30 days of the Stockholders’ Representative’s initial refusal to provide consent, such disagreement shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on both parties and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent or one of its Affiliates, as the case may be, shall have the right to prohibit the Stockholders’ Representative from participating in any Contest as it relates to a specific matter if Parent and Tax Indemnitee(s) have waived their rights...

Contests. In the event any Governmental Authority determines that Connecting Transmission Owner’s receipt of payments or property constitutes income that is subject to taxation, Connecting Transmission Owner shall notify Developer, in writing, within thirty (30) Calendar Days of receiving notification of such determination by a Governmental Authority. Upon the timely written request by Developer and at Developer’s sole expense, Connecting Transmission Owner may appeal, protest, seek abatement of, or otherwise oppose such determination. Upon Developer’s written request and sole expense, Connecting Transmission Owner may file a claim for refund with respect to any taxes paid under this Article 5.17, whether or not it has received such a determination. Connecting Transmission Owner reserves the right to make all decisions with regard to the prosecution of such appeal, protest, abatement or other contest, including the selection of counsel and compromise or settlement of the claim, but Connecting Transmission Owner shall keep Developer informed, shall consider in good faith suggestions from Developer about the conduct of the contest, and shall reasonably permit Developer or an Developer representative to attend contest proceedings. Developer shall pay to Connecting Transmission Owner on a periodic basis, as invoiced by Connecting Transmission Owner, Connecting Transmission Owner’s documented reasonable costs of prosecuting such appeal, protest, abatement or other contest. At any time during the contest, Connecting Transmission Owner may agree to a settlement either with Developer’s consent or after obtaining written advice from nationally-recognized tax counsel, selected by Connecting Transmission Owner, but reasonably acceptable to Developer, that the proposed settlement represents a reasonable settlement given the hazards of litigation. Developer’s obligation shall be based on the amount of the settlement agreed to by Developer, or if a higher amount, so much of the settlement that is supported by the written advice from nationally- recognized tax counsel selected under the terms of the preceding sentence. The settlement amount shall be calculated on a fully grossed-up basis to cover any related cost consequences of the current tax liability. Any settlement without Developer’s consent or such written advice will relieve Developer from any obligation to indemnify Connecting Transmission Owner for the tax at issue in the contest.

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). The Tax Indemnitee shall not pay such Tax Claim until at least thirty (30) days after providing the Lessee with such written notice, unless (a) the Tax Indemnitee is required to do so by law or regulation or the failure to pay such Tax Claim could result in a material adverse financial, legal or other consequence to the Tax Indemnitee and (b) in the written notice described above, the Tax Indemnitee has notified the Lessee of such requirement or such material adverse consequence (such notice however shall not require the disclosure of the Tax Indemnitee's confidential information, as determined in the sole discretion of such Tax Indemnitiee, or the Tax Indemnitee's tax returns, books, or records). 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 ...

Contests. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the respective Filing Party shall have the right to control, contest, and represent the interest of any FIS Group company or any LPS Group company in any Contest relating to any Tax Return described in Section 2.2 or 2.3 of this Agreement (other than a Tax Return described in Section 6.2(b) or (c) of this Agreement) and, subject to Section 6.4(b) of this Agreement, to resolve, settle or agree to any deficiency, claim or adjustment proposed, asserted or assessed in connection with or as a result of any such Contest. The Filing Party’s rights shall extend to any matter pertaining to the management and control of an Audit, including execution of waivers, choice of forum, scheduling of conferences and the resolution of any Tax Item. (b) Except as otherwise provided herein, after the date of execution of this Agreement, in the case of a Contest that relates to a Tax Return for a Taxable Period beginning before the Distribution Date (or any item relating thereto or reported thereon) which would give rise to an Indemnification Liability under this Agreement, of an Indemnifying Party that is not the Filing Party with respect to such Tax Return, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right at its expense to participate in and control the conduct of such Contest. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such Contest for a Pre-Distribution Period, the Filing Party may defend the same in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling such Contest after giving ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Indemnifying Party setting forth the terms and conditions of settlement. In the event of a Contest covered by the first sentence of this paragraph that involves issues (i) relating to a potential adjustment for which the Indemnifying Party has liability and (ii) that are required to be dealt with in a proceeding that also involves separate issues relating to a potential adjustment for which any Indemnitee would be liable, the Indemnitee shall have the right at its expense to control the Contest but only with respect to the latter issues. (c) With respect to a Contest involving an issue for which both (i) any FIS Group company and (ii) any LPS Group company could be liable, both parties may participate in the Contest, and the Contest may be controlled by that party which would bear the burden of the greater portion of the sum of the adjustment and any correspon...

Contests. If a written claim is made against any Indemnitee for Taxes with respect to which the Lessee is liable for a payment or indemnity hereunder, such Indemnitee shall promptly give the Lessee notice in writing of such claim and shall furnish the Lessee with copies of any requests for information from any taxing authority relating to such Taxes with respect to which the Lessee may be required to indemnify hereunder; provided, however, that the failure of an Indemnitee to give such notice or furnish such copy shall not terminate any of the rights of such Indemnitee under this Article 8, except to the extent that the Lessee's contest rights have been materially and adversely impaired by the failure to provide such notice. The Indemnitee shall in good faith, with due diligence and at the Lessee's expense, if timely requested in writing by the Lessee, contest (or, at the Indemnitee's option, require the Lessee to contest in the name of the Lessee, if permitted by law) the validity, applicability or amount of such Taxes by: (i) resisting payment thereof if lawful and practicable or not paying the same except under protest if protest is necessary and proper in each case so long as non-payment will not result in a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of a Lien other than a Lessor's Lien on the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine or any risk of criminal liability; or (ii) if the payment be made, using reasonable efforts to obtain a refund thereof in appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings. If the Indemnitee, after reasonable discussion with the Lessee and consideration in good faith of any suggestion made by the Lessee as to the method of pursuing such contest, elects to conduct the contest, such Indemnitee shall determine the manner in which to contest such Taxes, and shall periodically or upon the Lessee's request advise the Lessee of the progress of such contest; provided, however, that if the Indemnitee determines in its sole discretion that such participation will not adversely affect such Indemnitee's contest of any Taxes not indemnified hereunder, the Lessee shall have the right to participate in such contest, including, among other rights, the right to attend governmental or judicial conferences (to the extent unrelated issues are not discussed) concerning such claim and the right to review and approve all submissions to any governmental or other authority insofar as they relate to the Tax for which indemnification is sough...
