If a claim is made by any tax authority against a party hereto (the “Taxed Party”) with respect to any Tax of which another party (the “Indemnifying Party”) is obligated to indemnify under this Section 12, the Taxed Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice will not prejudice or otherwise affect any of the rights of the Taxed Party hereunder unless such failure materially and adversely affects the Indemnifying Party in exercising its contest rights hereunder or to the extent such failure results in any increase in, or fine or penalty with respect to, any amounts claimed to be payable by the Indemnifying Party to the Taxed Party pursuant to this Section 12. If reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in writing, the Taxed Party shall (at the expense and direction
of the indemnifying party) contest in the name of the Taxed Party or Indemnifying Party (as applicable), the validity, applicability or amount of such Taxes so indemnified by (i) if permitted by applicable Law without adverse consequences to the Taxed Party, resisting payment thereof, (ii) paying under protest, if protest is necessary or proper, and (iii) if payment be made, using reasonable commercial efforts to obtain a refund thereof in appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings.

and adversely affect the Indemnifying Party in exercising its contest rights hereunder or result in any increase in, or fine or penalty with respect to, any amounts claimed to be payable by the Indemnifying Party to the other party pursuant to this Section 12, provided, that the failure by either party to so notify the other party will not in any manner affect either party’s other obligations under this Section 12. |
