Indemnification Claims and Payments. (a) A Party shall be entitled to make a claim for indemnification with respect to Taxes under this Agreement when such Party determines that it or one of its Affiliates is entitled to such payment and is able to calculate with reasonable accuracy the amount of such payment. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.05, such Party shall provide to the other Party notice of such claim within sixty (60) Business Days after the first date on which it so becomes entitled to make such claim. Such notice shall include a description of such claim and a detailed calculation of the amount claimed. Such notified Party shall make the claimed payment to the notifying Party within sixty (60) days after receiving such notice, unless such notified Party reasonably disputes its liability for, or the amount of, such payment. (b) Notwithstanding Section 6.03(a), with respect to any claim for payment with respect to Taxes that are the subject of a Tax Contest, the Party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall not be entitled to make a claim for payment until there has been a Determination with respect to such Taxes, provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party is able to pay a reasonable estimate or agreed amount of such Taxes or other commercially reasonable amount (such amount, the “Deposit Amount”) to the applicable Tax Authority and the payment of such Deposit Amount would suspend or avoid the imposition or accrual of interest or penalties with respect to such Taxes, unless both Parties agree otherwise, the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall pay the Deposit Amount to the Indemnified Party promptly after the Indemnified Party is able to determine the Deposit Amount with reasonable accuracy, and, upon receipt of payment from the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit the Deposit Amount to the applicable Tax Authority. (c) A failure by a Party to give notice as provided in Section 6.03(a) shall not relieve the other Party’s indemnification or other payment obligations under this Agreement, if any, except to the extent that such other Party shall have been actually prejudiced by such failure. Nothing in this Section 6.03 shall prejudice a Party’s right to receive payments pursuant to Section 3.05. (d) The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to determine the manner in which any payments required to be made under this Agreement shall be made, including by providing for any such payments to be made directly between the Parties’ respective subsidiaries.
