Contests. (a) Sellers will allow the Company and its counsel to participate at its own expense in any audits of a consolidated, combined or unitary Tax Return of an Affiliated Group of which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries was a member to the extent that such Returns relate to the Company and its Subsidiaries. Sellers will not settle any such audit in a manner which would adversely affect the Company and its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date unless such settlement would be reasonable in the case of a Person that owned the Company and its Subsidiaries both before and after the Closing Date.
(b) After the Closing, Purchasers shall promptly notify Sellers in writing of the commencement of any Tax audit or administrative or judicial proceeding or of any demand or claim on Purchasers, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which, if determined adversely to the taxpayer or after the lapse of time would be grounds for indemnification under Section 8.01(a). Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known to Purchasers, the Company or its Subsidiaries) describing the asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall include copies of any notice or other document received from any Tax Authority in respect of any such asserted Tax liability. If Purchasers fail to give Sellers prompt notice of an asserted Tax liability as required by this Section 8.05(b), then (i) if Sellers are precluded by the failure to give prompt notice from contesting the asserted Tax liability in both the administrative and judicial forums, then Sellers shall not have any obligation to indemnify for any loss arising out of such asserted Tax liability, and (ii) if Sellers are not so precluded from contesting but such failure to give prompt notice results in a detriment to Sellers, then any amount which Sellers are otherwise required to pay Purchasers pursuant to Section 8.01(a) with respect to such liability shall be reduced by the amount of such detriment.
(c) Sellers may elect to direct, through counsel of their own choosing and at their own expense, any audit, claim for refund and administrative or judicial proceeding involving any asserted liability with respect to which indemnity may be sought under Section 8.01(a) (any such audit, claim for refund or proceeding relating to an asserted Tax liability are referred to herein collectively as a "Contest"). If Sellers elect to direct the Contest of an asserted Tax liability, they shall, within thirty (30) calendar days of re...
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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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) After the Closing, each party shall promptly notify the other parties in writing of any written notice of a proposed assessment or claim in an audit or administrative or judicial proceeding, which, if determined adversely to the taxpayer, would be grounds for indemnification under Section 6.03; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice will not affect any party's right to indemnification under this Agreement except to the extent, if any, that, but for such failure, the indemnifying party would have avoided the Tax Liability in question.
(b) In the case of an audit or administrative or judicial proceeding (a "Contest") that relates to a Pre-Closing Period, the Seller shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in and control the conduct of such Contest, but only to the extent that such Contest relates solely to a potential adjustment to Tax Liability for which the Seller has acknowledged, in writing, its liability under Section 6.03 to hold the Purchaser and the Company harmless against the full amount of any adjustment which may be made as a result of such Contest. The Purchaser also may participate in any such Contest, and, if the Seller does not assume the defense of any such Contest, the Purchaser may defend the same in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including settling such Contest after five days' prior written notice to the Seller setting forth the terms and conditions of settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that issues relating to a potential adjustment for which the Seller has acknowledged its liability in writing are required to be contested in the same Contest as separate issues relating to a potential adjustment for which the Purchaser would be liable, the Purchaser shall have the right, at its expense, to control the Contest with respect to the latter issues.
(c) In the case of a Contest that relates to a Straddle Period, or otherwise with respect to issues relating to a potential adjustment for which both the Seller (as evidenced by its written acknowledgement of liability under Section 6.03), on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, could be liable, (i) the Seller and the Purchaser may participate in the Contest, and (ii) such Contest shall be controlled by that party which would bear the burden of the greater portion of the sum of the adjustment and any corresponding adjustments that may reasonably be anticipated for future taxable peri...
Contests. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, 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) Mortgagor shall forthwith give notice of any Contested Lien to Lender at the time the same shall be asserted;
(b) Mortgagor shall either pay under protest or deposit with Lender the full amount (the “Lien Amount”) of such Contested Lien, together with such amount as Lender may reasonably estimate as interest or penalties which might arise during the period of contest; provided that in lieu of such payment Mortgagor may furnish to 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 Lender;
(c) 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 Lender to be represented in any such contest and shall pay all expenses incurred, in so doing, including fees and expenses of 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) 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 Mortgagor, or (ii) forthwith upon demand by Lender if, in the opinion of Lender, and notwithstanding any such contest, the Premises shall be in jeopardy or in danger of being forfeited or foreclosed; provided that if Mortgagor shall fail so to do, 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 Lender to obtain the release and discharge of such liens; and any amount expended by 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 Lender may in such case use and apply monies deposited as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section and may d...
Contests. In the event any Governmental Authority determines that the Participating TO’s receipt of payments or property constitutes income that is subject to taxation, the Participating TO shall notify the Interconnection Customer, in writing, within thirty (30) Calendar Days of receiving notification of such determination by a Governmental Authority. Upon the timely written request by the Interconnection Customer and at the Interconnection Customer's sole expense, the Participating TO may appeal, protest, seek abatement of, or otherwise oppose such determination. Upon the Interconnection Customer's written request and sole expense, the Participating TO 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.

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. 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. (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...
