Section # Withholding. Buyer and the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld under applicable Tax Law; provided, that promptly upon becoming aware of any potential required withholding (other than in respect of wages or other compensation) and prior to effecting any such withholding, Buyer shall notify the affected Seller of such withholding in writing in reasonable detail and shall cooperate with such Seller to reduce or eliminate any withholding that otherwise would be required.
