Common use of Notice of Contest Clause in Contracts

Notice of Contest. If a written claim is made by any taxing authority against a Tax Indemnitee for any Taxes with respect to which NRG may be required to indemnify against hereunder (a “Tax Claim”), such Tax Indemnitee shall give NRG written notice of such Tax Claim promptly after its receipt, and shall furnish NRG with copies of such Tax Claim and all other writings received from the taxing authority to the extent relating to such claim, provided that failure so to notify NRG shall not relieve NRG of any obligation to indemnify the Tax Indemnitee hereunder except to the extent such failure effectively precludes NRG from contesting such Tax. The Tax Indemnitee shall not pay such Tax Claim until at least thirty (30) days after providing NRG with such written notice, unless (a) the Tax Indemnitee is required to do so by law or regulation and (b) in the written notice described above, the Tax Indemnitee has notified NRG of such requirement.
