After such time, before Seller or the Purchasers shall dispose of any documents related to the Acquired Companies in their possession (or in the possession of their Affiliates), the other party shall be given an opportunity, after ninety (90) days prior written notice, to remove and retain all or any part of such documents as such other party may select (at such other party’s expense).

Tax Cooperation.

The payee shall provide any tax forms to the Party making such payment that may be reasonably necessary in order for such Party not to withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty.
