  • Certain Tax Matters (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.2, Contributor shall be responsible for all Taxes incurred by or with respect to the Company, whether resulting from the assets or operations of the Company or otherwise, for all Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing, other than Taxes becoming due as a result of actions taken by or on behalf of Acquirer (including, for this purpose, actions taken by the Company on or after the Closing Date). In the event Acquirer pays any such Taxes, Contributor shall reimburse Acquirer therefor within 15 days after the date on which the Taxes are paid and Contributor is notified by Acquirer. (b) Acquirer shall be responsible for all Taxes incurred by or with respect to the Company, whether resulting from the assets or operations of the Company or otherwise, for all Tax periods or portions thereof beginning after the Closing. In the event Contributor pays any such Taxes, Acquirer shall reimburse Contributor therefor within 15 days after the date on which the Taxes are paid and Acquirer is notified by Contributor. (c) The Parties agree that whenever it is necessary for purposes of this Section 5.2 to determine the amount of any Taxes imposed or incurred by or with respect to the contribution of the Interests for a taxable period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) that is allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on or before the Closing Date, the determination shall be made, in the case of property or ad valorem or franchise Taxes (which are measured by, or based solely upon, capital, debt, or a combination thereof), by prorating such Taxes ratably on a per diem basis and, in the case of other Taxes, by assuming that such portion of the Straddle Period ending on or prior to the Closing Date constitutes a separate taxable period applicable to the Company and by taking into account the actual taxable events occurring during such period (except that exemptions, allowances, and deductions for a Straddle Period that are calculated on an annual or periodic basis, such as the deduction for depreciation, shall be apportioned to the period prior to and including the Closing Date ratably on a per diem basis). (d) With respect to any Tax Return attributable to a Straddle Period that is required to be filed after the Closing Date with respect to the Company, Acquirer shall cause such Tax Return to be prepared, cause to be included in such Tax Return all items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit required to be included therein, furnish a copy of such Tax Return to Contributor, and cause such Tax Return to be timely filed with the appropriate Tax Authority. Acquirer shall be responsible for the timely payment of all Taxes due with respect to the period covered by such Tax Return, but shall have the right to recover from Contributor the amount of Taxes attributable to the portion of the taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date pursuant to Section 5.2(b). (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that transfer taxes arise from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, such transfer taxes shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Contributor and fifty percent (50%) by Acquirer. Contributor shall pay or cause to be paid to the applicable Tax Authority any transfer taxes that are required by Law to collect and remit. Acquirer shall indemnify and hold Contributor harmless from and against its share of any such transfer taxes within thirty (30) days of Contributor’s written demand therefor. The Parties shall provide such certificates and other information and otherwise cooperate to the extent reasonably required to minimize transfer taxes. (f) Each Party shall file, to the extent required by applicable Tax Laws, all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all Taxes for which such Party is responsible hereunder. In addition, each Party shall provide the other Parties with such assistance as may be reasonably requested by such other Parties or otherwise required by applicable Tax Laws in connection with the preparation, execution and/or filing of any Tax Return and other related documentation, any audit or other examination by any Governmental Authority, or any judicial or administrative proceedings relating to liability for Taxes, and each will retain and provide the requesting Party or Parties with any records or information which may be relevant to such return, audit or examination, proceedings or determination. (g) The parties intend that for United States federal income tax purposes, (i) the contribution of the Interests shall be treated as a contribution by Contributor to Acquirer pursuant to Section 721(a) of the Code, subject to Section 707 of the Code, and (ii) the distribution of the Debt Financed Cash Consideration shall qualify as a “debt- financed transfer” under Section 1.707-5(b) of the Treasury Regulations pursuant to Section 5.3 of this Agreement. Any Cash Consideration in excess of the amount treated as a “debt-financed transfer” shall be treated (x) as a reimbursement of Contributor’s preformation expenditures within the meaning of Section 1.707-4(d) of the Treasury Regulations to the greatest extent applicable, and (y) in a transaction subject to treatment under Section 707(a) of the Code, and its implementing Treasury Regulations, as in part a sale, and in part a contribution, by Contributor of the Interests. The Parties agree to file all Tax Returns and otherwise act at all times in a manner consistent with this intended treatment of the contribution of the Interests, the Cash Consideration, and the Acquirer Debt, including disclosing the payment of the Cash Consideration in accordance with the requirements of Section 1.707-3(c)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.

  • U.S. Tax Matters The Arrangement is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code, and this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement are intended to constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 368 of the Code for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code and the Parties will cooperate on a reasonable basis consistent with the Parties’ intention that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, including, if necessary, and upon the request of the Parties, restructuring such transactions to include one or more amalgamations of the Company (or any resulting person in any such amalgamation) with one or more wholly owned subsidiaries of the Purchaser. Each Party hereto shall treat the Arrangement as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and shall treat this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 368 of the Code, for all U.S. federal income tax purposes, and shall not take any position on any Return or otherwise take any Tax reporting position inconsistent with such treatment, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and in the Plan of Arrangement, each Party hereto shall act in a manner that is consistent with the Parties’ intention that the Arrangement be treated as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for all U.S. federal income tax purposes, and shall not take any action, or knowingly fail to take any action, including any action that is reasonably requested by the other Party if such action or failure to act would reasonably be expected to prevent the Arrangement from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party makes any representation, warranty or covenant to the other Party or to any Nomad Shareholder, Purchaser Shareholder or other holder of Nomad securities or Purchaser securities (including, without limitation, stock options, warrants, debt instruments or other similar rights or instruments) regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Arrangement, including, but not limited to, whether the Arrangement will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code or as a tax-deferred reorganization for purposes of any United States state or local income tax Law.

  • Income Tax Matters (a) In order to comply with all applicable federal or state income tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure that all applicable federal or state payroll, withholding, income or other taxes, which are the sole and absolute responsibility of Grantee, are withheld or collected from Grantee. (b) The Company shall reasonably determine the amount of any federal, state, local or other income, employment, or other taxes which the Company or any of its affiliates may reasonably be obligated to withhold with respect to the grant, vesting, or other event with respect to the Restricted Stock Units. The Company may, in its sole discretion, withhold a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock in connection with the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units at the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock (determined as of the date of measurement of the amount of income subject to such withholding) to satisfy the minimum amount of any such withholding obligations that arise with respect to the vesting of such Restricted Stock Units. The Company may take such action(s) without notice to the Grantee, and the Grantee shall have no discretion as to the satisfaction of tax withholding obligations in such manner. If, however, any withholding event occurs with respect to the Restricted Stock Units other than upon the vesting of such Restricted Stock Units, or if the Company for any reason does not satisfy the withholding obligations with respect to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units as provided above in this Section 8(b), the Company shall be entitled to require a cash payment by or on behalf of the Grantee and/or to deduct from other compensation payable to the Grantee the minimum amount of any such withholding obligations. (c) The Restricted Stock Unit Award evidenced by this Agreement, and the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Grantee in settlement of vested Restricted Stock Units, is intended to be taxed under the provisions of Section 83 of the Code, and is not intended to provide and does not provide for the deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A(d) of the Code. Therefore, the Company intends to report as includible in the Grantee’s gross income for any taxable year an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock covered by the Restricted Stock Units that vest (if any) during such taxable year, determined as of the date such Restricted Stock Units vest. In furtherance of this intended tax treatment, all vested Restricted Stock Units shall be automatically settled and payment to the Grantee shall be made as provided in Section 1(c) hereof, but in no event later than March 15th of the year following the calendar year in which such Restricted Stock Units vest. The Grantee shall have no power to affect the timing of such settlement or payment. The Company reserves the right to amend this Agreement, without the Grantee’s consent, to the extent it reasonably determines from time to time that such amendment is necessary in order to achieve the purposes of this Section.

  • Cooperation on Tax Matters (i) Buyer, the Company, and the Interest Owners shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this section and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Interest Owners agree (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer or the Company or Interest Owners, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) to give Buyer reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if Buyer so requests, the Interest Owners shall allow Buyer to take possession of such books and records. (ii) Buyer, the Company, and the Interest Owners further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any governmental authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).
