Tax Contest Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.5, the Seller shall have the right to represent the ELN Companies’ interests in any Tax Contest relating to Tax liabilities for which the Seller would be required to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article 8 and which relate to any Pre-Closing Period; provided, however, that the Seller shall have no right to represent the ELN Companies’ interests in any Tax Contest unless (i) the Seller shall have first notified the Purchaser in writing of their intention to do so within thirty days of receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim for Taxes, (ii) shall have agreed with the Purchaser in writing that, as between the Purchaser and the Seller, the Seller shall be liable for any Taxes that result from such Tax Contest and (iii) shall have paid to the Purchaser an amount equal to the amount of such Taxes required to be paid by the Company as and when required under Applicable Law, notwithstanding that such Tax Contest many not have been finally determined. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (A) the Seller shall not have given notice of their election to represent the Company’s interests in the Tax Contest within such 30-day period, (B) the Seller shall fail to conduct such defense diligently and in good faith or (C) the Purchaser shall reasonably determine that use of counsel selected by the Seller to represent the Purchaser would present such counsel with an actual or potential conflict of interest, then in each such case the Purchaser shall have the right to control the defense, compromise or settlement of the Tax Contest with counsel of its choice at the Seller’s sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall not be entitled to settle, either administratively or after the commencement of litigation, any Tax Contest without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by the Purchaser, and may not be withheld, conditioned and delayed if the Seller has indemnified the Purchaser in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser against the effects of any such settlement.
Tax Contests If, in connection with any examination, investigation, audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding in respect of any non-Seller Group Tax Return with respect to the income or operations of the Company, Newco or the Sold Subsidiaries for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, any Governmental Body issues to Newco, the Company or the Sold Subsidiaries a notice of an examination, investigation, audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding, a request for documents or other information, written notice of deficiency, a notice of reassessment, a proposed adjustment, or an assertion of claim or demand concerning the taxable period covered by such Tax Return, Buyer shall notify Seller of its receipt of such communication from such Governmental Body within fifteen (15) Business Days after receiving such communication. Buyer shall not, and shall not permit Newco, the Company or the Sold Subsidiaries to, settle or otherwise resolve any issue with respect to any Taxes of the Company, Newco or the Sold Subsidiaries if such settlement or other resolution could result in Seller being liable for any amounts pursuant to this Agreement without the prior written consent of Seller. Seller shall have the right to control any examination, investigation, audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding in respect of any non-Seller Group Tax Return of the Company, Newco or the Sold Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period if such examination, investigation, audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding could result in or lead to Seller being liable for any amounts pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that Buyer, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to participate in any such contest; provided, further, that Seller shall not settle or otherwise resolve such examination, investigation, audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding without the prior written consent of Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, further, that Seller and Buyer shall jointly control any examination, investigation, audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding in respect of Taxes for a Straddle Period. For avoidance of doubt, Seller shall have the sole right to control and settle any examination, investigation, audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding in respect of any Seller Group Tax Return and Buyer shall have no right to participate therein.

Any litigation shall be filed in a United States District Court in the proper district.
Straddle Period Allocation For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Tax imposed with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax that is allocable to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be (i) in the case of any Taxes other than Income Taxes, Taxes based on receipts, sales or payments and other Taxes that are transaction based, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period prior to and ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period and (ii) in the case of any Income Taxes and Taxes based on receipts, sales or payments and other Taxes that are transaction based, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Straddle Period ended on the Closing Date, provided that all permitted allowances, credits, exemptions and deductions that are normally computed on the basis of an entire year period (such as depreciation and amortization deductions) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be allocated between the pre-Closing portion of the Straddle Period and the post-Closing portion of the Straddle Period in proportion to the number of days in each such period.
Straddle Period Tax Allocation The Company and the Subsidiaries will, unless prohibited by applicable Law, close each of their applicable taxable periods as of the close of business on the Closing Date. If applicable Law does not permit the Company and the Subsidiaries to close any of its taxable years 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 Sellers for the period up to and including the close of business on the Closing Date, and (ii) to Buyer 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 deemed closing of the books and records of the Company and the Subsidiaries 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, property or ad valorem taxes attributable to a Straddle Period shall be allocated to 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.
Dispute Escalation In the event of a Dispute between the Parties, the Parties will first attempt to resolve such dispute by negotiation and consultation between themselves or the JSC. In the event that such dispute is not resolved on an informal basis within [***] days from receipt of the written notice of a Dispute, any Party may, by written notice to the other, have such dispute referred to the Executive Officers (or their designees, which designee is required to have decision-making authority on behalf of such Party), who will attempt to resolve such Dispute by negotiation and consultation for a [***] day period following receipt of such written notice.
Other Tax Matters 9.1 The Company shall withhold all applicable federal, state and local taxes, social security and workers’ compensation contributions and other amounts as may be required by law with respect to compensation payable to Executive pursuant to this Agreement.
Third Party Claim The term "Third Party Claim" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 14.3(a).
Third Party Claim Procedures (a) The Indemnified Party seeking indemnification under Section 7.02 agrees to give reasonably prompt notice in writing to Indemnifying Party of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding by any third party (“Third Party Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under Section 7.02. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such Third Party Claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have actually materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
