Information and Cooperation Each Party that has responsibility for filing and prosecuting any Patent Rights under this Section 7.4 (a “Filing Party”) shall (a) regularly provide the other Party (the “Non-Filing Party”) with copies of all patent applications filed hereunder and other material submissions and correspondence with the patent offices, in sufficient time to allow for review and comment by the Non-Filing Party; and (b) provide the Non-Filing Party and its patent counsel with an opportunity to consult with the Filing Party and its patent counsel regarding the filing and contents of any such application, amendment, submission or response. The advice and suggestions of the Non-Filing Party and its patent counsel shall be taken into consideration in good faith by such Filing Party and its patent counsel in connection with such filing. Each Filing Party shall pursue in good faith all reasonable claims and take such other reasonable actions, as may be requested by the Non-Filing Party in the prosecution of any Patent Rights covering any Program Technology under this Section 7.4; provided, however, if the Filing Party incurs any additional expense as a result of any such request, the Non-Filing Party shall be responsible for the cost and expenses of pursuing any such additional claim or taking such other actions. In addition, Company agrees that if Licensor claims any action taken under Section 7.4(d)(i) would be detrimental to Patent Rights covering Licensor Technology, Licensor shall provide written notice to Company and the Patent Coordinators shall, as promptly as possible thereafter, meet to discuss and resolve such matter and, if they are unable to resolve such matter, the Parties shall refer such matter to a mutually agreeable outside patent counsel for resolution.
Access to Tax Records The Companies and their respective Affiliates shall make available to each other for inspection and copying during normal business hours upon reasonable notice all Tax Records in their possession to the extent reasonably required by the other Company in connection with the preparation of Tax Returns, audits, litigation, or the resolution of items under this Agreement.
Access to Information; Cooperation (a) Prior to the earlier of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and the Closing Date, subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled to make such investigation of the properties, businesses and operations of the Company and such examination of the books and records of the Company as it reasonably requests, including as may be reasonably requested by Buyer or, subject to execution of customary confidentiality and non-reliance undertakings, any insurance broker or insurance carrier in connection with Buyer’s consideration of and obtaining the representation and warranty insurance policy to be issued in the name of Buyer (the “R&W Policy”). Any such investigation and examination shall be conducted during regular business hours and under reasonable circumstances, shall be subject to restrictions under applicable Law and shall not unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Company. Seller shall cause the officers, employees, consultants, agents, accountants, attorneys and other representatives of the Company and WS Holdings and its Subsidiaries to reasonably cooperate with Buyer and Buyer’s representatives in connection with such investigation and examination, and Buyer and its representatives shall reasonably cooperate with the Company and its representatives and shall use their reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption to the businesses of the Company. In addition, no such investigation or examination shall be permitted to the extent that (x) it would require Seller or the Company to disclose information subject to attorney-client privilege or (y) legal counsel for the Company reasonably concludes that it may give rise to antitrust or competition law issues or violate a protective order or otherwise may not be disclosed pursuant to applicable Law, and in each such case, the Company will reasonably cooperate with Buyer (at Buyer’s expense) to establish mutually acceptable work arounds to provide Buyer with the broadest access to information practicable under the circumstances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, prior to the Closing, Buyer shall not contact any employees of, suppliers to, customers of, or franchisees of, the Company or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Company or the Transaction without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld); provided, that any such contact by Buyer shall be coordinated with Seller, and Seller shall be permitted to participate therein. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to give to Buyer, directly or indirectly, rights to control or direct the Company’s operations prior to the Closing. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision of its operations. From the date hereof until the Closing Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement, Seller shall and shall cause the Company and its other Affiliates engaged in the Business to, preserve and maintain the books and records of the Company and the Business in all material respects in the same manner and same care that the books and records of the Company have been maintained prior to the execution of this Agreement.
Tax Records The Parties to this Agreement hereby agree to retain and provide on proper demand by any Tax Authority (subject to any applicable privileges) the books, records, documentation and other information relating to any Tax Return until the later of (i) the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (giving effect to any extension, waiver or mitigation thereof), (ii) the date specified in an applicable records retention agreement entered into with a Tax Authority, (iii) a Final Determination made with respect to such Tax Return and (iv) the final resolution of any claim made under this Agreement for which such information is relevant.
Production of Witnesses; Records; Cooperation (a) After the Effective Time, except in the case of a Dispute between Parent and SpinCo, or any members of their respective Groups, each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the other Party, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the members of its respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available without undue burden, to the extent that any such person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with any Action in which the requesting Party (or member of its Group) may from time to time be involved, regardless of whether such Action is a matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought hereunder. The requesting Party shall bear all costs and expenses in connection therewith.
Access and Cooperation Each Party will, and will cause its Other Indemnified Persons to, cooperate and assist in all reasonable respects regarding such Third Party Claim, including by promptly making available to such other Party (and its legal counsel and other professional advisers with a reasonable need to know) all books and records of such Person relating to such Third Party Claim, subject to reasonable confidentiality precautions.
Information/Cooperation Executive shall, upon reasonable notice, furnish such information and assistance to the Bank as may be reasonably required by the Bank, in connection with any litigation in which it or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates is, or may become, a party; provided, however, that Executive shall not be required to provide information or assistance with respect to any litigation between Executive and the Bank or any other subsidiaries or affiliates.
Tax Cooperation The Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with one another and use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or reduce, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, Tax withholding or similar obligations in respect of royalties, milestone payments, and other payments made by the paying Party to the receiving Party under this Agreement (“Withholding Taxes”). If Withholding Taxes are imposed on any payment under this Agreement, the liability for such Withholding Taxes shall be the sole responsibility of the receiving Party, and the paying Party shall (i) deduct or withhold such Withholding Taxes from the payment made to the receiving Party, (ii) timely pay such Withholding Taxes to the proper taxing authority, and (iii) send proof of payment to the receiving Party within thirty (30) days following such payment. If and to the extent the paying Party failed to retain Withholding Taxes (e.g. because the Parties assumed that Withholding Taxes will not be imposed) or if Withholding Taxes are imposed on “deemed payments” the receiving Party shall reimburse the paying Party for any Withholding Tax obligation vis-à-vis the tax authorities. Each Party shall comply with (or provide the other Party with) any certification, identification or other reporting requirements that may be reasonably necessary in order for the paying Party to not withhold Withholding Taxes or to withhold Withholding Taxes at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty. Each Party shall provide the other with commercially reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by Applicable Laws, of Withholding Taxes or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of the Party bearing the cost of such Withholding Taxes under this Section 16.5(d) (Tax Cooperation). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as a result of any assignment or sublicense by the paying Party, any change in the paying Party’s tax residency, any change in the entity that originates the payment, or any failure on the part of the paying Party to comply with Applicable Laws with respect to Withholding Taxes (including filing or record retention requirements), Withholding Taxes are imposed that would not otherwise have been imposed (“Incremental Withholding Taxes”), then the paying Party shall be solely responsible for the amount of such Incremental Withholding Taxes and shall increase the amounts payable to the receiving Party so that the receiving Party receives a sum equal to the sum which it would have received had there been no such imposition of Incremental Withholding Taxes. If a Party makes a payment in accordance with the sentence above (gross-up) (“Tax Payment”) and
