Buyer shall include with such notification a copy of the written communication so received by Company. (ii) The Buyer shall have responsibility and authority to represent the interests of the Company in any Tax Proceeding relating to Pre-Acquisition Taxable Periods and Straddle Periods and to employ counsel of its choice in connection therewith; provided, however, that Members shall be permitted to participate in any such Tax Proceedings and all hearings related thereto at the expense of the Members; and provided further, that, without the prior written consent of the Members, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Buyer shall not agree to settle or compromise any such Tax Proceeding and/or any Pre-Acquisition Tax Liability issue arising therein if such settlement can reasonably be expected to result in a material increase in the Pre-Acquisition Tax Liabilities for which the Members are responsible hereunder, provided, however, the consent of the Members to such settlement or compromise shall not be required hereunder if the failure to settle or compromise the Tax Proceeding or an issue arising therein can reasonably be expected to result in an adverse effect on the Company following the Closing. The Members, promptly upon demand from the Buyer, shall pay the reasonable costs and expenses, including attorney fees, incurred by Buyer in connection with any such Tax Proceedings, provided, however, in any Tax Proceeding related to a Straddle Period which involves Tax Liabilities for which Members are responsible hereunder and Tax Liabilities attributable to the Post-Closing Period for which Members are not responsible, the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Members, on the other hand, shall jointly bear the costs and expenses thereof as allocated between them on an equitable basis. (iii) All notices to Members provided for hereunder shall be deemed delivered to each Member upon receipt thereof either directly by the Member. The Members shall proportionately pay all Tax Liabilities and costs and expenses for which the Members are responsible hereunder; provided, however, the Members shall be jointly and severally liable for all such Tax Liabilities, costs and expenses.
