Tax Disputes. The parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any dispute arising in connection with this Agreement within 30 days of the date on which any such dispute arises. Upon written notice by a party after such 30-day period, the matter will be referred to a U.S. tax counsel or other tax advisor of recognized national standing (the “Tax Advisor”). Weyerhaeuser and Parent shall negotiate in good faith to jointly select a Tax Advisor within five days of such written notice. If Weyerhaeuser and Parent do not agree on the selection of the Tax Advisor within such five-day period, the Tax Advisor shall be selected by Weyerhaeuser’s and Parent’s respective U.S. tax counsel or other advisors of recognized national standing within the following 10-day period. The Tax Advisor may, in its discretion, obtain the services of any third party necessary to assist it in resolving the dispute. The Tax Advisor shall furnish written notice to the parties of its resolution of the dispute as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than 90 days after acceptance of the matter for resolution. Any such resolution by the Tax Advisor shall be binding on the parties, and the parties shall take, or cause to be taken, any action necessary to implement such resolution. All fees and expenses of the Tax Advisor shall be shared equally by Weyerhaeuser and Parent. If any dispute regarding the preparation of a Tax Return is not resolved before the due date for filing such return, the return shall be filed in the manner deemed correct by the party responsible for filing the return without prejudice to the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, provided that the preparing party shall file an amended Tax Return, within 10 days after the completion of the process set forth in this Section 6.01, reflecting any changes made in connection with such process.
Tax Disputes. The parties will endeavor to resolve in an amicable manner all disputes arising in connection with this Agreement. The parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any Tax Dispute for not less than 45 days. Upon written notice of either party after 45 days, the matter will be referred to a Tax Advisor acceptable to both parties. The Tax Advisor may, in its discretion, obtain the services of any third-party necessary to assist it in resolving the dispute. The Tax Advisor shall provide written notice to the Companies of its resolution of the dispute as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than 45 days after its acceptance of the matter for resolution. Any such resolution by the Tax Advisor will be binding on the parties and the parties shall take, or cause to be taken, any action necessary to implement the resolution. All fees and expenses of the Tax Advisor shall be shared equally by EHI, on the one hand, and ALC, on the other hand. If, having determined that the dispute must be referred to a Tax Advisor, after 45 days the parties are unable to find a Tax Advisor willing to adjudicate the dispute in question and whom the parties in good faith find acceptable, then the dispute will be resolved pursuant to the procedures described in Section 7.11 of the Separation Agreement; provided, however, that only an arbitrator that qualifies as a Tax Advisor shall be selected.
Tax Disputes. Notwithstanding Section 7.06, this Section 5.06 shall govern the resolution of any dispute arising between the Parties in connection with this Agreement, other than a dispute (i) relating to liability for Transaction Taxes or (ii) in which the amount of liability in dispute exceeds $20 million (a “Tax Dispute”). The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any Tax Dispute for 45 calendar days (unless earlier resolved). Upon notice of either Party after 45 calendar days, the matter will be referred to a Tax Advisor acceptable to both Parties. The Tax Advisor may, in its discretion, obtain the services of any third party necessary to assist it in resolving the Tax Dispute. The Parties shall instruct the Tax Advisor to furnish notice to each Party of its resolution of the Tax Dispute as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than 60 calendar days after its acceptance of the matter for resolution. Any such resolution by the Tax Advisor will be binding on the Parties and the Parties shall take, or cause to be taken, any action necessary to implement the resolution. All fees and expenses of the Tax Advisor shall be shared equally by the Parties. If, having determined that a Tax Dispute must be referred to a Tax Advisor, after 45 calendar days the Parties are unable to find a Tax Advisor willing to adjudicate the Tax Dispute in question and that the Parties in good faith find acceptable, then this Section 5.06 shall cease to apply to that Tax Dispute.
Tax Disputes. The Buyer shall notify the Seller promptly (and in all cases within twenty-five (25) calendar days) after receiving notice of any audit, examination, investigation, or proceeding by or before a tax authority, or any claim or portion thereof raised in any court of law to the extent that it may give rise to a Tax Loss (“Tax Dispute”). The Seller shall have the right and authority to control and direct the nature of any and all action to be taken in the defense of any such Tax Dispute, at its own expense. If the Seller elects to control a Tax Dispute, it shall within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of the notice of a Tax Dispute notify the Buyer of its intent to do so, the Seller shall have all rights to settle, compromise and/or concede such asserted liability and the Buyer shall cooperate and shall cause the Target Companies or any of their respective successors to cooperate, at the reasonable expense of the Seller, in each phase of such Tax Dispute; provided, however, that the Seller shall not concede, settle or compromise any Tax Dispute without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Seller elects not to control a Tax Dispute, fails to notify the Buyer of its election as herein provided or contests its obligation to indemnify under Section 8.4.1, the Buyer or the Target Companies may pay, compromise or contest, at the Seller’s expense (and subject to reimbursement by Seller for reasonable third party expenses), such asserted liability. However, in such case, neither the Buyer nor the Target Companies may settle or compromise any asserted liability over the objection of the Seller; provided, however, that the Seller shall not unreasonably object to such settlement or compromise.

The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any Tax Dispute for 30 calendar days (unless earlier resolved). Upon notice of either Party after 30 calendar days, the matter will be referred to an Accounting Firm acceptable to both Parties.

The Parties shall instruct the Accounting Firm to furnish notice to each Party of its resolution of the Tax Dispute as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than 40 calendar days after its acceptance of the matter for resolution. Any such resolution by the Accounting Firm will be binding on the Parties and the Parties shall take, or cause to be taken, any action necessary to implement the resolution. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be shared equally by the Parties. If, having determined that a Tax Dispute must be referred to an Accounting Firm, after 30 calendar days the Parties are unable to find an Accounting Firm willing to adjudicate the Tax Dispute in question and that the Parties in good faith find acceptable, then this Section 6.04 shall cease to apply to that Tax Dispute and such Tax Dispute shall be subject to Section 7.06.

Tax Disputes. The Company is not, nor has it been at any time within the last three years, involved in any dispute with or investigation, audit or discovery by any Tax Authority or any enquiry into any Tax Return and so far as the Sellers are aware no such dispute, investigation, audit, discovery or enquiry is pending, planned, threatened or likely to arise.
Tax Disputes. Notify Buyer of any tax assessment disputes (pending or threatened) with respect to the Property prior to Closing, and not agree to any changes in the real estate tax assessment, nor settle, withdraw or otherwise compromise any pending claims with respect to prior tax assessments, without Buyer's prior written consent. If any proceedings shall result in any reduction of assessment and/or tax for the tax year in which the Closing occurs, it is agreed that the amount of tax savings or refund for such tax year, less the reasonable fees and disbursements in connection with such proceedings, shall be apportioned between the parties as of the date real estate taxes are apportioned under this Agreement. Any reduction relating to tax years prior to the year in which the Closing occurs shall be payable to the Seller.
