result of any audit adjustment by, or closing agreement with, the Internal Revenue Service or as required by a decision, judgment, decree or other order by any court of competent jurisdiction.
(d)The Purchasers and Sellers shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the preparation and filing of any Tax Return (or amendment thereto) and any audit, claim, investigation, examination, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes (each a “Tax Contest”).  Such cooperation shall include the retention (and upon any other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Tax Contest.
