Such Company (or its Affiliates) shall not, without the prior written consent of the other Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), file, or cause to be filed, any such amended Tax Return or claim for Tax refund, credit or offset to the extent that such filing, if accepted, is likely to increase the Taxes allocated to, or the Tax indemnity obligations under this Agreement of, such other Company for any Tax Year (or portion thereof); provided, however, that such consent need not be obtained if the Company filing the amended Tax Return by written notice to the other Company agrees to indemnify the other Company for the incremental Taxes allocated to, or the incremental Tax indemnity obligation resulting under this Agreement to, such other Company as a result of the filing of such amended Tax Return.
Straddle Period Tax Allocation The Company will, unless prohibited by applicable law, close the taxable period of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date. If applicable law does not permit the Company to close its taxable year on the Closing Date or in any case in which a Tax is assessed with respect to a taxable period which includes the Closing Date (but does not begin or end on that day) (a “Straddle Period”), the Taxes, if any, attributable to a Straddle Period shall be allocated (i) to the Selling Members for the period up to and including the close of business on the Closing Date (except that the Members shall not be responsible for Taxes to the extent of any reserve or accrual for Taxes on the Closing Balance Sheet that are included in the Closing Working Capital described in Section 2.4(b)(i)), and (ii) to Purchaser for the period subsequent to the Closing Date. Any allocation of income or deductions required to determine any Taxes attributable to a Straddle Period shall be made by means of a closing of the books and records of the Company as of the close of the Closing Date, provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period. Property or ad valorem Taxes however shall be apportioned by assuming that an equal portion of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period is allocable to each day in such Straddle Period.

Allocation of Straddle Period Taxes In the case of any Straddle Period:
Straddle Period Taxes Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns other than any Tax Return based upon or related to income or receipts with respect to the Purchased Assets for taxable periods which begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”). Such Tax Returns shall be prepared or caused to be prepared by Buyer. Buyer shall submit drafts of such Tax Returns to the Sellers for approval by the Sellers (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) no later than twenty (20) days prior to the date that such Tax Returns are required to be filed with the appropriate Governmental Authority, including extensions. In the event that the Sellers and Buyer cannot reach agreement with respect to any items shown on such Tax Returns, a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually acceptable to the Sellers and Buyer shall prepare the Tax Returns. The costs related to having the accounting firm prepare the Tax Returns shall be borne equally by the Sellers and Buyer. The Sellers shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the portion of the Taxes shown on a Tax Return approved by the Sellers which relates to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date promptly upon receiving notice from Buyer that the Sellers are liable under this Section 7.2(b) for such Taxes but in no event later than five (5) Business Days before the Tax Return reflecting such liability is required to be filed. For purposes of this Section 7.2(b), in the case of sales, use and other similar Taxes that are payable for a Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax that relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended on and included the Closing Date.
