Tax Contests The Indemnitor and its representatives, at the Indemnitor's expense, shall be entitled to participate (A) in all conferences, meetings or proceedings with any Taxing Authority, the subject matter of which is or includes an Indemnity Issue and (B) in all appearances before any court, the subject matter of which is or includes an Indemnity Issue. The Responsible Party for the Tax Return with respect to which there could be an increase in liability for any Tax or with respect to which a payment could be required hereunder shall have the right to decide as between the parties hereto how such matter is to be dealt with and finally resolved with the appropriate Taxing Authority and shall control all audits and similar proceedings. If no Tax Return is or was required to be filed in respect of an Indemnity Issue, the Indemnitor shall be treated as the Responsible Party with respect thereto. The Responsible Party agrees to cooperate in the settlement of any Indemnity Issue with the other party and to take such other party's interests into account. If the Indemnitor is not the Responsible Party, such cooperation may include permitting the Indemnitor, at the Indemnitor's sole expense, to litigate or otherwise resolve any Indemnity Issue. If UCRI is the Responsible Party and if the Taxes at issue in the aggregate may equal or exceed $25,000 (computed taking into account reasonably anticipated future year Tax costs on a present value basis), (i) UCRI shall not settle any such Indemnity Issue without the prior written consent of Compass, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) Compass, and counsel of its own choosing, shall have the right to participate fully, at its own expense, in all aspects of the defense of such Indemnity Issue, (iii) UCRI shall inform Compass, reasonably promptly in advance, of the date, time and place of all administrative and judicial meetings, conferences, hearings and other proceedings relating to such Indemnity Issue, (iv) Compass shall, at its own expense, be entitled to have its representatives (including counsel, accountants and consultants) attend and participate in any such administrative and judicial meetings, conferences, hearings and other proceedings relating to such Indemnity Issue, (v) UCRI shall provide to Compass all information, document requests and responses, proposed notices of deficiency, notices of deficiency, revenue agent's reports, protests, petitions and any other documents relating to such Indemnity Issue promptly upon receipt from, or in advance of submission to (as the case may be), the relevant Taxing Authority or courts and (vi) UCRI shall not file or submit any protests, briefs, responses, petitions or other documents relating to such Indemnity Issue with such relevant Taxing Authority or courts without the prior written consent of Compass, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that UCRI may make such filing or submission if required to comply with any deadline imposed by law (including by order of a court or administrative authority) if UCRI has made commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such prior consent. 5.4
