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. 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, the Purchaser shall promptly notify the Seller in writing of the proposed assessment or the commencement of any Tax audit or administrative or judicial proceeding or of any demand or claim on the Purchaser, its Affiliates or any of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entities which, if determined adversely to the taxpayer or after the lapse of time, could be grounds for indemnification by the Seller under Section 7.01 (a “Claim”). Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known to the Purchaser, its Affiliates or any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entity) describing the Claim in reasonable detail and shall include copies of any notice or other document received from any taxing authority in respect of any such Claim. If the Purchaser fails to give the Seller prompt notice of a Claim as required by this Section 7.03, then the Seller shall not have any obligation to indemnify for any Loss arising out of such Claim, but only to the extent that failure to give such notice results in a detriment to the Seller.
(b) In the case of a Tax audit or administrative or judicial proceeding (a “Contest”) that relates to taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date, the Seller shall have the sole right, at its expense, to control the conduct of such Contest.
(c) With respect to Straddle Periods, the Seller may elect to direct and control, through counsel of its own choosing, any Contest involving any asserted Tax liability with respect to which Seller acknowledges liability indemnity may be sought from the Seller pursuant to Section 7.01. If the Seller elects to direct a Contest, the Seller shall within 60 days of receipt of the notice of asserted Tax liability notify the Purchaser of its intent to do so, and the Purchaser shall cooperate and shall cause the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entities to fully cooperate, at the Seller’s expense, in each phase of such Contest. If the Seller elects not to direct the Contest, the Purchaser or any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entity may assume control of such Contest (at the Purchaser’s expense). However, in such case, none of the Purchaser or any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entity may settle or compromise any asserted liability without prior written consent of the Seller; provided, however, that consent to settlement or compromise shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld. In any event, the Seller may participate, at its own expense, in the Contest.
(d) The Purchaser and the Seller agree to cooperate, and the Purchaser agrees to cause the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entities to cooperate, in the defense against...
Contests. (a) Buyer Parties and the Companies shall promptly forward to Stockholder Representative all written notifications and other communications from any Taxing Authority relating to any Tax liability of the Companies with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or any actions with respect to the same. The failure of Buyer Parties or the Companies to deliver such written notice in such period shall not affect the rights of an Indemnified Party under Article 7 with respect to any Tax or Damage directly or indirectly related to the subject matter of such written notification or other communication except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially and irrevocably prejudiced by the failure to provide such written notice.
(b) (i) Stockholder Representative (at Stockholders’ expense, which shall be paid solely from the Stockholder Representative Expense Amount first and then from the Indemnification Escrow Account without regard to the Deductible) shall control any audit or examination by any taxing authority or any other judicial or administrative proceeding with respect to Taxes, and contest, resolve and defend against any assessment for additional Taxes, notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of the Companies (each, a “Tax Matter”) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (but for this purpose excluding any Straddle Period) but only to the extent the Stockholders have an obligation with respect to any such Tax Matter under Article 7, including through recovery against the Indemnification Escrow Account, which has not expired or lapsed; provided, however, that Stockholder Representative shall provide to Buyer Parties (at Buyer Parties’ expense, which expense shall not be subject to indemnification under Article 7) reasonable participation rights with respect to so much of such Tax Matter that is reasonably likely to affect the Tax liability of Buyer Parties or the Companies for any Post-Closing Tax Period. Stockholder Representative shall not assert any defenses or claims, enter into any settlement of, or otherwise compromise, any such Tax Matter that reasonably could adversely affect the liability of Buyer Parties or the Companies for any Taxes, as to which the Stockholders would not be liable hereunder, without the prior written consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If Buyer Parties object to any action that Stockholder Representative proposes to take pursuant to the preceding sentence, Buyer Pa...
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. 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. The Participating TO reserve 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 the Participating TO shall keep the Interconnection Customer informed, shall consider in good faith suggestions from the Interconnection Customer about the conduct of the contest, and shall reasonably permit the Interconnection Customer or an Interconnection Customer representative to attend contest proceedings.

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...
Contests. If a written claim is made against any Indemnitee for Taxes with respect to which the Lessee is liable for a payment or indemnity hereunder, such Indemnitee shall promptly give the Lessee notice in writing of such claim and shall furnish the Lessee with copies of any requests for information from any taxing authority relating to such Taxes with respect to which the Lessee may be required to indemnify hereunder; provided, however, that the failure of an Indemnitee to give such notice or furnish such copy shall not terminate any of the rights of such Indemnitee under this Article 8, except to the extent that the Lessee's contest rights have been materially and adversely impaired by the failure to provide such notice. The Indemnitee shall in good faith, with due diligence and at the Lessee's expense, if timely requested in writing by the Lessee, contest (or, at the Indemnitee's option, require the Lessee to contest in the name of the Lessee, if permitted by law) the validity, applicability or amount of such Taxes by:
(i) resisting payment thereof if lawful and practicable or not paying the same except under protest if protest is necessary and proper in each case so long as non-payment will not result in a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of a Lien other than a Lessor's Lien on the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine or any risk of criminal liability; or
(ii) if the payment be made, using reasonable efforts to obtain a refund thereof in appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings. If the Indemnitee, after reasonable discussion with the Lessee and consideration in good faith of any suggestion made by the Lessee as to the method of pursuing such contest, elects to conduct the contest, such Indemnitee shall determine the manner in which to contest such Taxes, and shall periodically or upon the Lessee's request advise the Lessee of the progress of such contest; provided, however, that if the Indemnitee determines in its sole discretion that such participation will not adversely affect such Indemnitee's contest of any Taxes not indemnified hereunder, the Lessee shall have the right to participate in such contest, including, among other rights, the right to attend governmental or judicial conferences (to the extent unrelated issues are not discussed) concerning such claim and the right to review and approve all submissions to any governmental or other authority insofar as they relate to the Tax for which indemnification is sough...
