Common use of Reporting of the Transactions Clause in Contracts

Reporting of the Transactions. (a) The Tax treatment of any step in or portion of the Transactions shall be reported on each applicable Tax Return and in connection with any applicable Tax Contest consistently with (i) the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions and (ii) the treatment of payments between the Fox Group and the Newco Group as set forth in Section 5.4, in each case to the extent relevant and unless there is not a Reasonable Basis for such treatment or there has been a Final Determination to the contrary. In the event that a Preparing Party shall determine that there is no Reasonable Basis for such Tax treatment, such Party shall notify the other Party no later than twenty (20) Business Days prior to filing the relevant Tax Return and the Parties shall attempt in good faith to agree on the manner in which the relevant portion of the Transactions shall be reported; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent the Preparing Party from timely filing any such Tax Return and nothing herein shall require the Preparing Party to accept any comments to the extent such comments would render the Preparing Party, exercising reasonable discretion in good faith, unable to sign such Tax Return. (b) After the date hereof, the Parties shall negotiate and cooperate in good faith to determine whether a protective election under Section 336(e) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder for Newco and each member of the Newco Group (or any member of the Fox Group that participates in any Internal Distribution) with respect to the Distribution (a “Section 336(e) Election”) shall be beneficial. Such cooperation shall include the provision by Fox of any information reasonably necessary to make such determination. If the Parties determine that a Section 336(e) Election would be beneficial: (i) Fox, Ainge and Newco shall cooperate in making the Section 336(e) Election, including by filing any statements, amending any Tax Returns or taking such other action reasonably necessary to carry out the Section 336(e) Election; and (ii) if one or more of the Transactions fails to qualify (in whole or in part) for the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions and Newco or any member of the Newco Group (or any member of the Fox Group that participates in an Internal Distribution) realizes an increase in Tax basis (the “Section 336(e) Tax Basis”), then the cash Tax savings realized by Newco and each member of the Newco Group (or any member of the Fox Group that participates in an Internal Distribution) as a result of the Section 336(e) Tax Basis shall be shared between Fox and Newco in the same proportion as the Taxes imposed on the Transactions giving rise to the Section 336(e) Tax Basis were borne by Fox and Newco (after giving effect to the indemnification obligations in this Agreement).
