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.
Payment of Taxes and Claims; Tax Consolidation A. Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges imposed upon it or any of its properties or assets or in respect of any of its income, businesses or franchises before any penalty accrues thereon, and all claims (including claims for labor, services, materials and supplies) for sums that have become due and payable and that by law have or may become a Lien upon any of its properties or assets, prior to the time when any penalty or fine shall be incurred with respect thereto; provided that no such charge or claim need be paid if it is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and diligently conducted, so long as (1) such reserve or other appropriate provision, if any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made therefor and (2) in the case of a charge or claim which has or may become a Lien against any of the Collateral, such contest proceedings conclusively operate to stay the sale of any portion of the Collateral to satisfy such charge or claim.
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.
U.S. Tax Matters (a) The Company shall, upon the request of any U.S. Investor, (a) determine, with respect to such taxable year whether the Company (or any of its Affiliates) is a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) as described in Section 1297 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (including whether any exception to PFIC status may apply) or is or may be classified as a partnership or branch for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and (b) provide such information reasonably available to the Company as any U.S. Investor may reasonably request to permit such U.S. Investor to elect to treat the Company and/or any such entity (including a Subsidiary of the Company) as a “qualified electing fund” (within the meaning of Section 1295 of the Code) (a “QEF Election”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company shall also, reasonably promptly upon request, obtain and provide any and all other information reasonably deemed necessary by the U.S. Investor to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.3(a). The Company shall, upon the request of any U.S. Investor, appoint an internationally reputable accounting firm acceptable to the U.S. Investor to prepare and submit its U.S. tax filings.
Allocation of Tax Liabilities The provisions of this Section 2 are intended to determine each Company's liability for Taxes with respect to Pre-Distribution Periods. Once the liability has been determined under this Section 2, Section 5 determines the time when payment of the liability is to be made, and whether the payment is to be made to the Tax Authority directly or to another Company.
Payment of Taxes and Claims, Etc Pay, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, (i) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges imposed upon it or upon its property, and (ii) all claims (including, without limitation, claims for labor, materials, supplies or services) which might, if unpaid, become a Lien upon its property, unless, in each case, the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto.
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.
