Any applicable income taxes of Tenant, any federal, state or local taxes, assessments or other governmental charges imposed on the Community are the obligations of Tenant, not of Management Company, and all of the foregoing, with the exception of any applicable income taxes (which shall be paid directly by Tenant), shall be paid out of the Operating Account of the Community as Operating Expenses. With the Tenant’s prior written consent, Management Company may, and at Tenant’s direction shall, contest the validity or amount of any such tax or imposition on the Community in the same manner as described in Section 2.4(a) hereof. Management Company shall cause all Social Security and federal and state income tax withholding and other employee taxes related to all Community employees which may be due and payable to be paid promptly from the Operating Account of the Community as Operating Expenses before the payment of any other Operating Expenses therefrom.
