Contest Resolution. 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. If the Taxed Party becomes eligible for a refund of any Taxes paid by the Indemnifying Party, it shall notify the Indemnifying Party and, if reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party and permissible under applicable law, the Taxed Party shall consider in good faith any request by the Indemnifying Party to assign such right to the Indemnifying Party. Should the Taxed Party obtains a refund of all or any part of the Taxes paid by the Indemnifying Party, the Taxed Party shall pay the Indemnifying Party the amount of such refund, plus, any interest thereon (net of any taxes imposed on such interest) obtained by the Taxed Party from the taxing authority if fairly attributable to such Taxes.
