Withholding The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such federal, state, local or foreign taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.
Backup Withholding Federal law requires, for U.S. persons, a specified percentage of reportable interest, dividends, and proceeds from the sale of securities be withheld, unless you furnish a correct taxpayer identification number. To avoid this “backup withholding” complete and return the New Account Application, which includes the substitute W-9 Form, certifying that the taxpayer number you are furnishing is correct and that you are not subject to backup withholding. For most individuals, your taxpayer identification number and Social Security number are the same. Foreign persons claiming foreign status must complete the IRS W-8BEN Form (for joint foreign accounts, each owner submits a W-8BEN).
FATCA Withholding The Trust represents, warrants and covenants to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Paying Agent that, (i) to the best of the Trust’s knowledge, the Indenture Trustee, Note Registrar and Note Paying Agent are not obligated in respect of any payments to be made by the Trust pursuant to this Indenture, to make any withholding or deduction pursuant to an agreement described in Section 1471(b) of the Code or otherwise imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and any regulations or agreements thereunder or official interpretations thereof (“FATCA Withholding Tax”), provided such parties have obtained the requisite information about the Noteholders; (ii) the Noteholders are required to provide information sufficient to eliminate the imposition of, or determine the amount of, FATCA Withholding Tax (the “FATCA Information”) to the Trust and the Indenture Trustee, (iii) the Trust shall comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payment made by it on any Note of any applicable FATCA Withholding Tax imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirement in connection therewith; and (iv) to the extent the Trust determines that FATCA Withholding Tax is applicable, it will promptly notify the Note Paying Agent of such fact. To the extent the Trust has the Noteholders’ information, the Trust will provide the FATCA Information to the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Note Paying Agent upon request. Each holder of a Note or an interest therein, by acceptance of such Note or such interest in such Note, will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Note Paying Agent with the Noteholder Tax Identification Information and, to the extent FATCA Withholding Tax is applicable, the FATCA Information. In addition, each holder of a Note will be deemed to understand that the Note Paying Agent has the right to withhold interest payable with respect to the Note (without any corresponding gross-up) on any beneficial owner of an interest in a Note that fails to comply with the foregoing requirements.
Share Withholding The Committee may permit a Participant to satisfy all or part of his or her withholding or income tax obligations by having the Company withhold all or a portion of any Shares that otherwise would be issued to him or her or by surrendering all or a portion of any Shares that he or she previously acquired. Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when taxes otherwise would be withheld in cash. In no event may a Participant have Shares withheld that would otherwise be issued to him or her in excess of the number necessary to satisfy the minimum legally required tax withholding.
Taxes; Withholding The Property Trustee agrees, to the extent required by the Code, and applicable federal regulations thereunder, to withhold from each payment due hereunder or under any Trust Securities, United States withholding taxes at the appropriate rate, and, on a timely basis, to deposit such amounts with an authorized depository and make such returns, filings and other reports in connection therewith as are required by the Code. In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on a payment to a Securityholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Securityholder in accordance with this Section. Any Securityholder which is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall, on or prior to the date such Securityholder becomes a Securityholder, (a) so notify the Property Trustee, (b) (i) provide the Property Trustee with Internal Revenue Service form 1001, 4224, 8709 or W-8, as appropriate, or (ii) notify the Property Trustee that it is not entitled to an exemption from United States withholding tax or a reduction in the rate thereof on payments of interest. Any such Securityholder agrees by its acceptance of a Trust Security, on an ongoing basis, to provide like certification for each taxable year and to notify the Property Trustee as specified in clauses (a) and (b) above. The Property Trustee shall be fully protected in relying upon, and each Securityholder by its acceptance of a Security agrees to indemnify and hold the Property Trustee harmless against all claims or liability of any kind arising in connection with or related to the Property Trustee's reliance upon any documents, forms or information provided by any Securityholder to the Property Trustee. In addition, if the Property Trustee has not withheld taxes on any payment made to any Securityholder, and the Property Trustee is subsequently required to remit to any taxing authority any such amount not withheld, such Securityholder shall return such amount to the Property Trustee upon written demand by the Property Trustee. The Property Trustee shall be liable only for direct (but not consequential) damages to any Securityholder due to the Property Trustee's violation of the Code and only to the extent such liability is caused by the Property Trustee's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Taxation; Withholding The Depositary will, and will instruct the Custodian to, forward to the Company or its agents such information from its records as the Company may request to enable the Company or its agents to file necessary tax reports with governmental authorities or agencies. The Depositary, the Custodian or the Company and its agents may, but shall not be obligated to, file such reports as are necessary to reduce or eliminate applicable taxes on dividends and on other distributions in respect of Deposited Securities under applicable tax treaties or laws for the Holders and Beneficial Owners. Holders and Beneficial Owners of American Depositary Shares may be required from time to time, and in a timely manner to provide and/or file such proof of taxpayer status, residence and beneficial ownership (as applicable), to execute such certificates and to make such representations and warranties, or to provide any other information or documents, as the Depositary or the Custodian may deem necessary or proper to fulfill the Depositary’s or the Custodian’s obligations under applicable law. The Holders and Beneficial Owners shall indemnify the Depositary, the Company, the Custodian, the Agents and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and Affiliates against, and hold each of them harmless from, any claims by any governmental authority with respect to taxes, additions to tax, penalties or interest arising out of any refund of taxes, reduced rate of withholding at source or other tax benefit obtained by the Beneficial Owner or Holder or out of or in connection with any inaccuracy in or omission from any such proof, certificate, representation, warranty, information or document furnished by or on behalf of such Holder or Beneficial Owner. The obligations of Holders and Beneficial Owners under this Section 4.13 shall survive any transfer of Receipts, any surrender of Receipts and withdrawal of Deposited Securities or the termination of this Deposit Agreement. The Company shall remit to the appropriate governmental authority or agency any amounts required to be withheld by the Company and owing to such governmental authority or agency. Upon any such withholding, the Company shall remit to the Depositary information, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Depositary, about such taxes and/or governmental charges withheld or paid, and, if so requested, the tax receipt (or other proof of payment to the applicable governmental authority) therefor. The Depositary shall, to the extent required by U.S. law, report to Holders (i) any taxes withheld by it; (ii) any taxes withheld by the Custodian, subject to information being provided to the Depositary by the Custodian and (iii) any taxes withheld by the Company, subject to information being provided to the Depositary by the Company. The Depositary and the Custodian shall not be required to provide the Holders with any evidence of the remittance by the Company (or its agents) of any taxes withheld, or of the payment of taxes by the Company, except to the extent the evidence is provided by the Company to the Depositary. None of the Depositary, the Custodian or the Company shall be liable for the failure by any Holder or Beneficial Owner to obtain the benefits of credits on the basis of non-U.S. tax paid against such Holder’s or Beneficial Owner’s income tax liability. In the event that the Depositary determines that any distribution in property (including Shares and rights to subscribe therefor) is subject to any tax or other governmental charge which the Depositary is obligated to withhold, the Depositary shall withhold the amount required to be withheld and may by public or private sale dispose of all or a portion of such property (including Shares and rights to subscribe therefor) in such amounts and in such manner as the Depositary deems necessary and practicable to pay such taxes and/or charges and the Depositary shall distribute the net proceeds of any such sale after deduction of such taxes and/or charges to the Holders entitled thereto in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held by them respectively. The Depositary is under no obligation to provide the Holders and Beneficial Owners with any information about the tax status of the Company. The Depositary shall not incur any liability for any tax consequences that may be incurred by Holders and Beneficial Owners on account of their ownership of the American Depositary Shares, including without limitation, tax consequences resulting from the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) being treated as a “Passive Foreign Investment Company” (as defined in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the regulations issued thereunder) or otherwise.
