2.05 PERIOD THAT INCLUDES THE SEPARATION DATE.
(a) To the extent permitted by law or administrative practice, the taxable year of the Enterprise Group shall be treated as closing at the close of the Separation Date.
(b) If it is necessary for purposes of this Agreement to determine the Tax liability of any member of the Enterprise Group for a taxable year or period that begins on or before and ends after the Separation Date and is not treated under Section 2.05(a) as closing at the close of the Separation Date, the determination shall be made, in the case of Taxes that are based upon income or receipts, by assuming that the relevant taxable period ended at the close of the Separation Date, except that any exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis shall be apportioned on a time basis. In the case of Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis, are payable for a taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Separation Date, and are not based upon or related to income or receipts, the portion of such Tax that relates to the Pre-Separation Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Separation Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period.

Provided that Radiant consents to the carryback or if the carryback is required by law, Radiant (or any other member of the Radiant Group receiving such refund) shall promptly remit to Enterprise any refunds it receives with respect to any such carryback. Any refund of Taxes resulting from any such carryback by a member of the Enterprise Group shall be payable to Enterprise as provided in Section 2.03(a). For purposes of this Article III, it shall be deemed reasonable for Radiant to withhold its consent to any carryback to the extent that Radiant determines in good faith that such carryback will cause an actual increase in the Taxes for which the Radiant Group is responsible or will cause an actual reduction in the amount of any refund of Taxes payable to the Radiant Group.
ARTICLE IV.
PAYMENTS
4.01 PAYMENTS. Payments due under this Agreement shall be made no later than thirty (30) days after the receipt or crediting of a refund, the delivery of notice of payment of a Tax for which the other party is responsible under this Agreement, or the delivery of notice of a Final Determination which results in such other party becoming obligated to make a payment hereunder to the other party hereto.

(b) The Indemnitor shall have 30 days after receipt of such notice from the Controlling Party within which to object to the Proposed Tax Adjustment. If the Indemnitor does not notify the Controlling Party within such 30 day period that it objects to the Proposed Tax Adjustment, Section 5.02(c) and Section 5.02(d) below shall not apply, and the Controlling Party shall have exclusive control over all stages of the Tax Controversy, including full authority to determine whether and in what manner to contest or compromise the Proposed Tax Adjustment.
(c) If the Indemnitor notifies the Controlling Party that it objects to a Proposed Tax Adjustment, then the Controlling Party shall not thereafter consent to the adjustment or compromise of such Proposed Tax Adjustment without the consent of the Indemnitor, but shall cooperate with the Indemnitor to resolve the Proposed Tax Adjustment on a basis acceptable to the Indemnitor. Prior to the issuance of any notice raising a Proposed Tax Adjustment or similar stage in the proceedings, however, the Controlling Party shall be responsible for the conduct of the audit, including matters pertaining to such Proposed Tax Adjustment. The Controlling Party shall notify the Indemnitor in advance of any conferences, meetings, and proceedings pertaining to the audit and, at its own expense, the Indemnitor shall have the right to attend all such proceedings with any Taxing Authority, the subject matter of which is or includes such Proposed Tax Adjustment.

(i) Upon the issuance of a notice of proposed adjustment or similar stage in the proceedings, the Indemnitor shall assume the conduct of all further proceedings, with counsel selected by it, at the Indemnitor’s sole expense, insofar as the proceedings relate to a Proposed Tax Adjustment, and thereafter the Indemnitor and the Controlling Party shall jointly be responsible for the conduct of proceedings to contest such Proposed Tax Adjustment.
(ii) In the event that the Controlling Party receives a notice of deficiency from the Internal Revenue Service, or a similar notice from any other Taxing Authority, and such notice includes one or more Proposed Tax Adjustments, then:
(A) upon receiving a written request from the Indemnitor, given no later than a date reasonably necessary to permit preparation and timely filing of a petition in the United States Tax Court for redetermination of the deficiency relating to the Proposed Tax Adjustment, or a court of similar jurisdiction with respect to a Proposed Tax Adjustment imposed by any other Taxing Authority, the Controlling Party shall timely file such petition (at the Indemnitor’s sole expense); or
(B) If (1) the Indemnitor does not request the Controlling Party to file a petition for redetermination of the deficiency pursuant to subsection 5.02(c)(ii)(A) hereof, (2) the Indemnitor requests that the Controlling Party file a claim for refund of Taxes relating to a Proposed Tax Adjustment, and (3) the Indemnitor provides the Controlling Party with sufficient funds to pay the deficiency relating to the Proposed Tax Adjustment, then the Controlling Party (at the Indemnitor’s sole expense) shall file a claim for refund thereof and, if the claim is denied, bring an action in a court of competent jurisdiction seeking such refund.
(C) In the event that a judgment of the United States Tax Court or other court of competent jurisdiction results in an adverse determination with respect to the Proposed Tax Adjustment, then the Indemnitor shall have the right to cause the Controlling Party to appeal from such adverse determination at the Indemnitor’s sole expense.
(D) The Indemnitor and its representatives, at the Indemnitor’s sole expense, shall be entitled to the extent permitted by law to participate in (1) all conferences, meetings, or proceedings with any Taxing Authority, the subject matter of which is a Proposed Tax Adjustment, and (2) all appearances before any court, the subject matter of which is a Proposed Tax Adjustment. The right to participate referred to in this subsection 5.02(c)(ii)(D) hereof shall include the submission and content of documentation, memoranda of fact and law and briefs, the conduct of oral arguments or presentations, the selection of witnesses, and the negotiation of stipulations of fact with respect to a Proposed Tax Adjustment.
(d) If a notice of proposed adjustment raises both one or more issues that would result in Taxes for which the Controlling Party is liable under this Agreement in addition to one or more issues that constitute Proposed Tax Adjustments for which any other party is liable under this Agreement, then the Controlling Party and the Indemnitor shall cooperate with each other to allow each party to conduct the Tax Controversy with respect to those issues that would
-9-
result in Taxes for which such party is liable under this Agreement. Each party shall bear the expense of conducting the Tax Controversy with respect to the issues that would result in Taxes for which such party is liable under this Agreement.

Each party agrees to notify the other party in writing of any audit adjustments which do not result in Tax liability but can be reasonably expected to affect Tax Returns of the other party, or any of its Subsidiaries, for a Post-Separation Period. Unless and until there has been a Final Determination to the contrary, each party agrees to treat the Separation Transactions as a reorganization qualifying under Section 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code and the Exchange as a transaction qualifying under Section 355 of the Code.
ARTICLE VII.
