5.2 All expenses and costs incurred by the Promotion Agent in fulfilling his obligations under this Agreement (including for invoicing) shall be deemed to be covered by the commission. Any taxes, duties, levies or charges imposed directly or indirectly by any taxing authority on or with respect to the compensation provided for in this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of the Promotion Agent.
