Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the Mortgagor shall have the right to contest by appropriate legal proceedings diligently prosecuted any Taxes imposed or assessed upon the Premises or which may be or become a lien thereon and any mechanics’, materialmen’s or other liens or claims for lien upon the Premises (each, a “Contested Lien”), and no Contested Lien shall constitute an Event of Default under this Mortgage, if, but only if:
(a) The Mortgagor shall forthwith give notice of any Contested Lien to the Lender at the time the same shall be asserted;
(b) The Mortgagor shall either pay under protest or deposit with the Lender the full amount (the “Lien Amount”) of such Contested Lien, together with such amount as the Lender may reasonably estimate as interest or penalties which might arise during the period of contest; provided that in lieu of such payment the Mortgagor may furnish to the Lender a bond or title indemnity in such amount and form, and issued by a bond or title insuring company, as may be satisfactory to the Lender;
(c) The Mortgagor shall diligently prosecute the contest of any Contested Lien by appropriate legal proceedings having the effect of staying the foreclosure or forfeiture of the Premises, and shall permit the Lender to be represented in any such contest and shall pay all expenses incurred, in so doing, including fees and expenses of the Lender’s counsel (all of which shall constitute so much additional Indebtedness bearing interest at the Default Rate until paid, and payable upon demand);
(d) The Mortgagor shall pay each such Contested Lien and all Lien Amounts together with interest and penalties thereon (i) if and to the extent that any such Contested Lien shall be determined adverse to the Mortgagor, or (ii) forthwith upon demand by the Lender if, in the opinion of the Lender, and notwithstanding any such contest, the Premises shall be in jeopardy or in danger of being forfeited or foreclosed; provided that if the Mortgagor shall fail so to do, the Lender may, but shall not be required to, pay all such Contested Liens and Lien Amounts and interest and penalties thereon and such other sums as may be necessary in the judgment of the Lender to obtain the release and discharge of such liens; and any amount expended by the Lender in so doing shall be so much additional Indebtedness bearing interest at the Default Rate until paid, and payable upon demand; and provided further that the Lender may in such case u...
Contests. (a) Upon receipt by Buyer, any Acquired Company or any Affiliate thereof of a written notice of any pending or threatened Tax audits, examinations, protest proceedings, assessments or claims that could give rise to a claim for indemnity under Section 6.03 (an “Indemnifiable Tax Liability”), Buyer shall promptly give written notice thereof to Parent (the “Tax Claim Notice”).
(b) Subject to Section 6.06(c), Sellers may elect to control, through their Representatives, and at their expense, the compromise or contest, either administratively or in the courts, of any Indemnifiable Tax Liability. If Sellers elect to so represent the interests of an Acquired Company or Buyer, they shall within thirty (30) Business Days of delivery of any Tax Claim Notice (or reasonably sooner, if the nature of the Indemnifiable Tax Liability so requires) notify Buyer of their intent to do so, and Buyer shall cooperate, at the sole expense of Sellers, in the defense against, or compromise or settlement of, any claim in any such proceeding. In that event, Sellers shall reasonably and in good faith consult with Buyer with respect to each aspect of the defense against, or compromise or settlement of, any such Indemnifiable Tax Liability. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be permitted, at its expense, to be represented at each conference, hearing or meeting with representatives of the pertinent taxing authority (and shall be notified reasonably in advance thereof). Sellers shall promptly notify Buyer in writing after it settles, compromises or abandons any claim of matters related to Indemnifiable Tax Liability, and with respect to any such claim that could adversely affect an Acquired Company, Buyer or any of their respective affiliates with respect to any Post-Closing Tax Period, Sellers shall not settle, compromise or abandon any matter related to Indemnifiable Tax Liability without obtaining the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. If Sellers elect not to represent the interests of an Acquired Company, Buyer may pay, compromise or contest such Indemnifiable Tax Liability in any reasonable manner it deems appropriate (in its sole discretion), and Sellers shall remain fully liable for such Indemnifiable Tax Liability.
(c) Buyer shall control, at its own expense, any Tax proceeding for a Straddle Period with respect to any Acquired Company; provided, however, that (i) Buyer shall consult w...
Contests. In the event any Governmental Authority determines that Connecting Transmission Owner’s receipt of payments or property constitutes income that is subject to taxation, Connecting Transmission Owner shall notify Developer, in writing, within thirty (30) Calendar Days of receiving notification of such determination by a Governmental Authority. Upon the timely written request by Developer and at Developer’s sole expense, Connecting Transmission Owner may appeal, protest, seek abatement of, or otherwise oppose such determination. Upon Developer’s written request and sole expense, Connecting Transmission Owner may file a claim for refund with respect to any taxes paid under this Article 5.17, whether or not it has received such a determination. Connecting Transmission Owner reserves the right to make all decisions with regard to the prosecution of such appeal, protest, abatement or other contest, including the selection of counsel and compromise or settlement of the claim, but Connecting Transmission Owner shall keep Developer informed, shall consider in good faith suggestions from Developer about the conduct of the contest, and shall reasonably permit Developer or an Developer representative to attend contest proceedings. Developer shall pay to Connecting Transmission Owner on a periodic basis, as invoiced by Connecting Transmission Owner, Connecting Transmission Owner’s documented reasonable costs of prosecuting such appeal, protest, abatement or other contest. At any time during the contest, Connecting Transmission Owner may agree to a settlement either with Developer’s consent or after obtaining written advice from nationally-recognized tax counsel, selected by Connecting Transmission Owner, but reasonably acceptable to Developer, that the proposed settlement represents a reasonable settlement given the hazards of litigation. Developer’s obligation shall be based on the amount of the settlement agreed to by Developer, or if a higher amount, so much of the settlement that is supported by the written advice from nationally- recognized tax counsel selected under the terms of the preceding sentence. The settlement amount shall be calculated on a fully grossed-up basis to cover any related cost consequences of the current tax liability. Any settlement without Developer’s consent or such written advice will relieve Developer from any obligation to indemnify Connecting Transmission Owner for the tax at issue in the contest.

Contests. (a) If any claim for Tax with respect to OrbNav's Membership Interest is asserted in a Contest (as defined below) against any Tax Indemnitee that would result in the indemnification of any such Tax Indemnitee by Orbital or OrbNav pursuant to this Section 8 then the following provisions of this Section 8.4(a) will apply to the handling of such claim. For purposes of this Agreement, "Contest" means any audit, court proceeding or other dispute with respect to any Tax matter that affects OrbNav's Membership Interest in the Company or any other Tax Indemnitee. Unless the Purchaser has previously received written notice from Orbital and OrbNav of the existence of such Contest, the Purchaser shall give written notice to Orbital and OrbNav of the existence of any Contest relating to a Tax matter that is or may be Orbital's or OrbNav's responsibility under this Section 8 as soon as practicable after the receipt by the Purchaser of any written notice of such Contest, but in no event later than 15 days prior to the time that a written response to the written notice is required, unless such written notice is received and a written response is due in less than 15 days, in which case the Purchaser shall give written notice to Orbital and OrbNav as soon as practicable. If the Purchaser fails to comply with the foregoing sentence, Orbital or OrbNav, as the case may be, shall not be liable to the Purchaser to the extent that Orbital's or OrbNav's position is actually prejudiced as a result thereof. Orbital and OrbNav shall, at their election, have the right to represent the interests of the Company in any Contest relating to a Tax matter for which Orbital or OrbNav may be required to make a Tax Indemnity Payment, to employ counsel of Orbital's and OrbNav's choice at the expense of Orbital and OrbNav and to control the conduct of such Contest, including settlement or other disposition thereof, provided, however, that Orbital and OrbNav will keep the Purchaser informed of the progress and disposition of the Contest and no settlement or compromise of issues will be made without the Purchaser's written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and provided, further, that to the extent such Contest could adversely affect the Purchaser's Tax Liability (after taking into account any required Tax Indemnity Payment), the Purchaser will have the right to control the conduct of the Contest at its expense, and in which case no settlement or compromise of issues will be...

Contests. If a written claim is made by any taxing authority against a Tax Indemnitee for any Taxes with respect to which the Lessee may be required to indemnify against hereunder or if a Tax Indemnitee shall determine that any tax to which the Lessee may have an indemnity obligation hereunder may be payable (a "Tax Claim"), then such Tax Indemnitee shall give the Lessee written notice of such Tax Claim promptly (but in any event within twenty (20) days after its receipt of the written Tax Claim or its determination, as applicable), and shall furnish Lessee with copies of such Tax Claim and all other writings received from the taxing authority to the extent relating to such claim (but failure to so notify the Lessee shall not relieve the Lessee of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that it effectively precludes the ability of the Lessee to conduct a contest of the Tax Claim). The Tax Indemnitee shall not pay such Tax Claim until at least thirty (30) days after providing the Lessee with such written notice, unless (a) the Tax Indemnitee is required to do so by law or regulation or the failure to pay such Tax Claim could result in a material adverse financial, legal or other consequence to the Tax Indemnitee and (b) in the written notice described above, the Tax Indemnitee has notified the Lessee of such requirement or such material adverse consequence (such notice however shall not require the disclosure of the Tax Indemnitee's confidential information, as determined in the sole discretion of such Tax Indemnitiee, or the Tax Indemnitee's tax returns, books, or records). If the Lessee shall so request within 30 days after receipt of such notice (or such shorter period as is reasonably specified by the Tax Indemnitee if any contest of the Tax must be commenced prior to the expiration of 30 days), then such Tax Indemnitee shall in good faith at Lessee's sole expense contest such Tax or permit the Lessee to contest such Tax, as such Tax Indemnitee shall elect; provided, however, that to the extent (i) the contest involves only Taxes constituting property taxes, sales taxes, or use taxes, (ii) the contest does not involve any taxes that the Lessee is not required to indemnify the Tax Indemnitee or taxes and other issues relating to a Tax Indemnitee that are unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements, (iii) the contest can be pursued in the name of the Lessee and independently from any other proceeding involving a Tax Claim of a Tax ...
Contests. If any claim or claims is or are made against any Indemnitee for any Tax which is subject to indemnification as provided in Section 7.2(a), such Indemnitee shall as soon as practicable, but in no event more than thirty (30) days after receipt of formal written notice of the Tax or proposed Tax, notify the Lessee and if, in the reasonable opinion of the Lessee there exists a reasonable basis to contest such Tax which satisfies the requirements of ABA Formal Opinion 85-352 (and if the provisos of the definition of “Permitted Contest” continue to be satisfied), the Lessee at its expense may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and provided that it has acknowledged in writing its liability for the Tax at issue if the contest is not successful, contest such Tax, and subsequently may appeal any adverse determination (other than to the United States Supreme Court), in the appropriate administrative and legal forums; provided, that in all other circumstances, upon notice from the Lessee to such Indemnitee that there exists a reasonable basis to contest any such Tax which satisfies the requirements of ABA Formal Opinion 85-352 (as supported by an opinion of tax counsel to the Lessee reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee), the Indemnitee, at the Lessee’s expense, shall contest any such Tax (so long as the provisos of the definition of “Permitted Contest” continue to be satisfied and, in the case of a Tax on gross or net income, the aggregate amount of the Tax exceeds U.S. $100,000). Lessee shall pay all reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by the Indemnitee in contesting any such Tax (including, without limitation, all reasonable attorney’s and accountants’ fees), upon demand by the Indemnitee. Lessee shall have the right to participate in the conduct of any proceedings controlled by the Indemnitee to the extent that such participation by the Lessee does not interfere with the Indemnitee’s control of such contest and the Lessee shall in all events be kept informed, to the extent practicable, of material developments relative to such proceedings. The Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the conduct of any proceedings controlled by the Lessee to the extent that such participation by the Indemnitee does not interfere with the Lessee’s control of such contest, and the Indemnitee shall in all events be kept informed, to the extent practicable, of material developments relative to such proceedings. The Indemnitees agree that a conteste...

Contests. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the respective Filing Party shall have the right to control, contest, and represent the interest of any FIS Group company or any LPS Group company in any Contest relating to any Tax Return described in Section 2.2 or 2.3 of this Agreement (other than a Tax Return described in Section 6.2(b) or (c) of this Agreement) and, subject to Section 6.4(b) of this Agreement, to resolve, settle or agree to any deficiency, claim or adjustment proposed, asserted or assessed in connection with or as a result of any such Contest. The Filing Party’s rights shall extend to any matter pertaining to the management and control of an Audit, including execution of waivers, choice of forum, scheduling of conferences and the resolution of any Tax Item.
(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, after the date of execution of this Agreement, in the case of a Contest that relates to a Tax Return for a Taxable Period beginning before the Distribution Date (or any item relating thereto or reported thereon) which would give rise to an Indemnification Liability under this Agreement, of an Indemnifying Party that is not the Filing Party with respect to such Tax Return, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right at its expense to participate in and control the conduct of such Contest. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such Contest for a Pre-Distribution Period, the Filing Party may defend the same in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling such Contest after giving ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Indemnifying Party setting forth the terms and conditions of settlement. In the event of a Contest covered by the first sentence of this paragraph that involves issues (i) relating to a potential adjustment for which the Indemnifying Party has liability and (ii) that are required to be dealt with in a proceeding that also involves separate issues relating to a potential adjustment for which any Indemnitee would be liable, the Indemnitee shall have the right at its expense to control the Contest but only with respect to the latter issues.
(c) With respect to a Contest involving an issue for which both (i) any FIS Group company and (ii) any LPS Group company could be liable, both parties may participate in the Contest, and the Contest may be controlled by that party which would bear the burden of the greater portion of the sum of the adjustment and any correspon...
