Taxes

To the extent that you are required by applicable law to withhold such amounts, you shall as soon as practicable provide the appropriate notification of payment of such taxes to us.
    • The parties agree to cooperate to support any reduction of or exemption from any Transaction Tax or Withholding Tax including a claim for the application of any applicable income tax convention or any exemption contained in any applicable tax laws or regulations.
