Allocation of Straddle Period Taxes In the case of any Straddle Period:
Apportionment of Taxes For purposes of this Agreement, all Taxes and Tax liabilities with respect to the income, property, employees or operations of the JVC, as the case may be, that relate to a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) shall be apportioned between the period of the Straddle Period that extends before the Closing Date through the day before the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Straddle Period”) and the period of the Straddle Period that extends from the Closing Date to the end of the Straddle Period (the “Post-Closing Straddle Period”) in accordance with this Section 11.6. The portion of such Tax related to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period shall: (a) in the case of Taxes other than sales and use taxes, value-added taxes, employment and payroll taxes and any Tax based on or measured by income, receipts or profits earned during a Straddle Period, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Straddle Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period and (b) in the case of any sales or use taxes, value-added taxes, employment and payroll taxes and any Tax based on or measured by income, receipts or profits earned during a Straddle Period, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant taxable period or Tax year in which the income, receipts or profits were earned ended on and included the Closing Date. To the extent any income Tax is based on the greater of a Tax on net income, on the one hand, and a Tax measured by net worth or some other basis not otherwise measured by income, on the other, the portion of such Tax related to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period shall be deemed to be the greater of (i) the amount of such Tax measured by net worth or other basis determined as though the taxable values for the entire Straddle Period equal the respective values as of the end of the day on the Closing Date and multiplying the amount of such Tax by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Straddle Period and denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period or (ii) the amount of such Tax measured by net income determined as though the applicable Tax period terminated as of the end of the day on the Closing Date. The portion of Tax related to the Post-Closing Straddle Period shall be calculated in a corresponding manner.
Excise Taxes Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and except as set forth below, in the event it shall be determined that any payment, benefit, vesting or distribution to or for the benefit of Employee (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise) (a “Payment”) would but for this Section 20 be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any comparable successor provisions (the “Excise Tax”), then the Payments shall be either (i) provided to Employee in full, or (ii) provided to Employee as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such Payments being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, when taking into account applicable income and employment taxes, the Excise Tax, and any other applicable taxes, results in the receipt by Employee on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of Payments, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax. Any determination required under this Section 20 shall be made in writing in good faith by the Company's independent certified public accountants, appointed prior to any change in ownership (as defined under Code Section 280G(b)(2), and/or tax counsel selected by such accountants (the “Accounting Firm”) in accordance with the principles of Section 280G of the Code. In the event of a reduction of Payments hereunder, the Payments shall be reduced as follows: (i) first from cash payments which are included in full as parachute payments, (ii) second from equity awards which are included in full as parachute payments, (iii) third from cash payments which are partially included as parachute payments, and (iv) fourth from equity awards that are partially included as parachute payments. In applying these principles, any reduction or elimination of the Payments shall be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A and where two economically equivalent amounts are subject to reduction but payable at different times, such amounts shall be reduced on a pro rata basis but not below zero. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 20, the Accounting Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of the Code, and other applicable legal authority. The Company and Employee shall furnish to the Accounting Firm such information and documents as the Accounting Firm may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 20. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. If, notwithstanding any reduction described in this Section 20, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) determines that Employee is liable for the Excise Tax as a result of the receipt of the Payments as described above, then Employee shall be obligated to pay back to the Company, within thirty (30) days after a final IRS determination or in the event that Employee challenges the final IRS determination, a final judicial determination, a portion of the Payments equal to the “Repayment Amount.” The Repayment Amount with respect to the Payments shall be the smallest such amount, if any, as shall be required to be paid to the Company so that Employee's net after-tax proceeds with respect to the Payments (after taking into account the payment of the Excise Tax and all other applicable taxes imposed on such payment) shall be maximized. The Repayment Amount with respect to the Payments shall be zero if a Repayment Amount of more than zero would not result in Employee’s net after-tax proceeds with respect to the Payments being maximized. If the Excise Tax is not eliminated pursuant to this paragraph, Employee shall pay the Excise Tax. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 20, if (i) there is a reduction in the Payments as described in this Section 20, (ii) the IRS later determines that Employee is liable for the Excise Tax, the payment of which would result in the maximization of Employee’s net after-tax proceeds (calculated as if Employee’s Payments had not previously been reduced), and (iii) Employee pays the Excise Tax, then the Company shall pay to Employee those Payments which were reduced pursuant to this subsection as soon as administratively possible after Employee pays the Excise Tax so that Employee’s net after-tax proceeds with respect to the Payments are maximized. For the avoidance of doubt, Employee acknowledges she is solely responsible for the payment of any Excise Tax and that the Company will not reimburse or otherwise indemnify her for such amount. Any reimbursements or repayments provided under this subsection shall be made strictly in accordance with Section 409A of the Code, including Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3(i)(1)(v). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any payments or benefits due to Employee hereunder would cause the application of an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”), such payments or benefits shall be restructured in a manner which does not cause such an accelerated or additional tax. Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following Employee’s separation from service shall instead be paid on the first (1st) business day after the date that is six (6) months following Employee’s date of termination (or death, if earlier). In the event that Employee receives reduced payments and benefits as a result of the application of this paragraph, reduction shall be made from payments and benefits which are determined not to be nonqualified deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Code first, and then shall be made (to the extent necessary) out of payments and benefits which are subject to Section 409A of the Code and which are due at the latest future date, to the extent such reduction would not trigger adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code.
Tax Payments Each Company shall be liable for and shall pay the Taxes allocated to it by this Section 2 either to the applicable Tax Authority or to the other Company in accordance with Section 4 and the other applicable provisions of this Agreement.
Employment Taxes All payments made pursuant to this Agreement will be subject to withholding of applicable income and employment taxes.
Apportionment of Tax Attributes (i) If the Parent Consolidated Group has a Tax Attribute, the portion, if any, of such Tax Attribute apportioned to SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Consolidated Group and treated as a carryover to the first Post-Distribution Taxable Period of SpinCo (or such member) shall be determined by Parent in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.1502-21, 1.1502-21T, 1.1502-22, 1.1502-79 and, if applicable, 1.1502-79A.

Excise Tax Payments (a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any payment (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or replaced (the "Code")), or distribution to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise in connection with, or arising out of, his or her employment with the Company (a "Payment" or "Payments"), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, interest and penalties collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that after payment by the Executive of all such taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments; provided, that the Executive shall not be entitled to receive any additional payment relating to any interest or penalties attributable to any action or omission by the Executive in bad faith.
Straddle Period Tax Allocation The Company will, unless prohibited by applicable law, close the taxable period of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date. If applicable law does not permit the Company to close its taxable year on the Closing Date or in any case in which a Tax is assessed with respect to a taxable period which includes the Closing Date (but does not begin or end on that day) (a “Straddle Period”), the Taxes, if any, attributable to a Straddle Period shall be allocated (i) to the Selling Members for the period up to and including the close of business on the Closing Date (except that the Members shall not be responsible for Taxes to the extent of any reserve or accrual for Taxes on the Closing Balance Sheet that are included in the Closing Working Capital described in Section 2.4(b)(i)), and (ii) to Purchaser for the period subsequent to the Closing Date. Any allocation of income or deductions required to determine any Taxes attributable to a Straddle Period shall be made by means of a closing of the books and records of the Company as of the close of the Closing Date, provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period. Property or ad valorem Taxes however shall be apportioned by assuming that an equal portion of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period is allocable to each day in such Straddle Period.
