 1.7 Consent of Third Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any Asset, lease, Permit or other agreement or arrangement or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an assignment or transfer or an attempt to make such an assignment or transfer without the consent of a third party would constitute a material breach or violation thereof or affect adversely the rights of Purchaser or Seller thereunder; and any assignment or transfer to Purchaser by Seller of any interest under any such Asset, lease, Permit or other agreement or arrangement that requires the consent of a third party shall be made subject to such consent or approval being obtained.

 1.8 Allocation. Following the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare a joint schedule allocating the aggregate consideration (including the Assumed Liabilities) payable for the Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law, as appropriate) (the “Allocation Schedule”). If Seller and Purchaser are able to agree upon the Allocation Schedule within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall each file IRS Form 8594, and all federal, state, local and foreign tax returns, in accordance with the Allocation Schedule. If Purchaser and Seller are unable to agree upon the Allocation Schedule within 30 days after the Closing Date, any dispute or disagreement between Purchaser and Seller regarding any matter set forth in the Allocation Schedule shall be resolved promptly by the Independent Auditor, the costs of which shall be borne equally by Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand. Purchaser and Seller shall prepare and file all Tax Returns and other statements in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule and shall not make any inconsistent statement or adjustment on any Tax Returns or otherwise during the course of an audit, investigation or other dispute with a Taxing authority, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent Purchaser or Seller from settling any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Taxing authority based upon or arising out of the Allocation Schedule, and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall be required to litigate before any court any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Taxing authority challenging such Allocation Schedule.
