Allocation of Certain Taxes (a) The Equityholders and Buyer will, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, elect with the appropriate Taxing Authorities to close the Taxable periods of the Company as of and including the Closing Date. In any case where Applicable Law does not require or permit such a Taxable period of the Company to be closed as of and including the Closing Date, any Tax described in Section 8.01(a) and pertaining to a period that begins on or before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) shall be determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 8.02(b) hereof.
(b) In the case of any Tax described in Section 8.01(a) that is based on income, sales, revenue, production or similar items, or other Taxes not described in the next sentence, such Tax pertaining or attributable to the Company for the Pre-Closing Period shall be determined assuming that the Company uses the accrual method of Tax accounting and the portion of such Tax pertaining or attributable to the Pre-Closing Period of any Straddle Period shall be determined on the basis of an interim closing of the books as of and including the Closing Date; provided, that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions), other than with respect to property placed in service after the Closing, shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Period and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each period. For purposes of this Section 8.02, the liability for any Taxes not described in the preceding sentences, including any real or personal property Taxes or a flat minimum dollar Tax, the total amount of such Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Period of a Straddle Period shall be the product of (i) such Tax for the entirety of such Straddle Period, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days for such Tax period included in the Pre-Closing Period and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such Tax period.
Certain Taxes All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by Sellers when due, and Sellers will, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable law, Buyer will, and will cause its affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.
Treatment of Certain Refunds If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
Payment of Certain Expenses The Bank covenants and agrees with SCUSA that the Bank will pay or cause to be paid the following: (i) the fees, disbursements and expenses of the Bank’s counsel and the Bank’s accountants in connection with the registration of the Securities under the Securities Act and all other expenses in connection with the preparation, printing and filing of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and any Pricing Supplements, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Time of Sale Information and all other amendments and supplements thereto and the mailing and delivering of copies thereof to SCUSA, (ii) all costs and expenses related to the transfer and delivery of the Securities, including any transfer or similar taxes payable thereon, (iii) the cost of printing or producing any Blue Sky or legal investment memorandum in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities under state securities laws and all expenses in connection with the qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under state securities laws as provided in Section 5(b) hereof, including filing fees and the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel for SCUSA in connection with such qualification and in connection with the Blue Sky or legal investment memorandum, (iv) all filing fees and the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel to SCUSA incurred in connection with the review and qualification of the offering of the Securities by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA"), (v) any fees charged by the rating agencies for the rating of the Securities, (vi) the cost of the preparation, issuance and delivery of the Securities, (vi) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any agent of the Trustee and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Trustee in connection with the Indenture and the Securities, (vii) the document production charges and expenses associated with printing this Agreement and (viii) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Bank hereunder for which provision is not otherwise made in this Section. It is understood, however, that, except as provided in this Section, and Section 9 entitled “Indemnification and Contribution”, SCUSA will pay all of its own costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of their counsel, transfer taxes payable on resale of any of the Securities by them and any advertising expenses connected with any offers they may make; provided, however, that the reasonable fees and disbursements of SCUSA’s counsel for the establishment of the Securities shall be paid by the Bank.
Certain Taxes and Fees All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by Sellers when due, and Sellers will, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, and, if required by applicable law, Buyer will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.
Indemnification of Certain Expenses The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all expenses incurred in connection with any hearing or proceeding under this Section 7 unless the Company prevails in such hearing or proceeding on the merits in all material respects.
No Deduction for Certain Taxes Any and all payments by the Borrower shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.10, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender, the Issuing Lender, and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender, the Issuing Lender, or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision of the jurisdiction (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”) and, in the case of each Lender and the Issuing Lender, Taxes by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Lending Office or any political subdivision of such jurisdiction. If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable to any Lender, the Issuing Lender, or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14), such Lender, the Issuing Lender, or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made; provided, however, that if the Borrower’s obligation to deduct or withhold Taxes is caused solely by such Lender’s, the Issuing Lender’s, or the Administrative Agent’s failure to provide the forms described in paragraph (d) of this Section 2.14 and such Lender, the Issuing Lender, or the Administrative Agent could have provided such forms, no such increase shall be required; (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions; and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.
