Tax Filing If any report, return or statement is required to be filed with respect to any Tax which is subject to indemnification under this Section 8.3, Owner shall timely file the same (except for any such report, return or statement which a Tax Indemnitee has timely notified the Owner in writing that such Tax Indemnitee intends to file, or for which such Tax Indemnitee is required by law to file, in its own name); provided, that the relevant Tax Indemnitee shall furnish Owner with any information in such Tax Indemnitee's possession or control that is reasonably necessary to file any such return, report or statement and is reasonably requested in writing by Owner (it being understood that the Tax Indemnitee shall not be required to furnish copies of its actual tax returns, although it may be required to furnish relevant information contained therein).

Tax Return Preparation (i) To the extent not filed prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by each of the Companies and their Subsidiaries for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods (each, a “Pre-Closing Period Tax Return”). All such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner that is consistent with the prior practice of the Companies and their Subsidiaries, except as reasonably approved by Buyer. Buyer shall allow Seller access to any and all data and information necessary for the preparation of such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns and shall cooperate fully with the Seller in the preparation of such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns; provided, that no employee of Buyer, any Company or any Company Subsidiary shall be required to sign any such Tax Return without, at the request of such employee, being fully indemnified by Seller for any liability incurred as a consequence of signing such Tax Return. With respect to each Pre-Closing Period Tax Return filed after the Closing Date, no later than thirty days prior to the due date (taking into account any valid extensions thereof) (“Due Date”) for the filing of such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return, the Seller shall submit, or cause to be submitted, to the Buyer for its review drafts of such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return (together with all related work papers). Within ten days following Buyer’s receipt of such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return, Buyer shall have the right to object to such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return (by written notice to the Seller). If Buyer does not object by written notice to the Seller within such time period, such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return shall be deemed to have been accepted and agreed upon, and final and conclusive, for purposes of this Section 4.15(a)(i). If Buyer objects to such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return, it shall notify the Seller of such disputed item (or items) (in such written notice) and the basis for its objection and the Buyer and Seller shall act in good faith to resolve any such dispute as promptly as practicable. If the Buyer and Seller have not reached agreement regarding such dispute, the dispute shall be presented to the Independent Accounting Firm, whose determination shall be binding upon both Buyer and Seller, provided, however, that (i) such determination shall be limited to whether the disputed item is consistent with past practices, if applicable, and (ii) the Buyer and Seller shall require the Independent Accounting Firm to make a determination within ten (10) days but in no event later than five (5) days prior to the Due Date of such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return. With respect to each such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return, no later than two (2) days prior to the Due Date of such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return, (x) the Seller shall submit to the Buyer final drafts of such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return and (y) the Seller shall pay to the Buyer an amount equal to the liability for Taxes that are shown to be due and payable on the face of such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return. The Buyer shall cause the applicable Company or Subsidiary (as the case may be) to file each Pre-Closing Period Tax Return and pay to the applicable Tax authority all amounts shown to be due and payable on the face of such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return.
