Refunds and Tax Benefits (a) Except to the extent such refund was accrued as an asset on the Closing Balance Sheet, the Purchaser shall promptly pay to the Seller the amount of any refund or credit (including any interest paid or credited with respect thereto) received or used, in the case of a credit, by the Purchaser or by any Pershing Company of Taxes (i) relating to taxable periods of any Pershing Company or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date or (ii) attributable to an amount paid by the Seller under Section 7.01 hereof. The Purchaser shall, if the Seller so requests and at the Seller's expense, cause the relevant entity to file for and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain and expedite the receipt of any refund to which the Seller is entitled under this Section 7.02. The Purchaser shall permit the Seller to participate in (at the Seller's expense) the prosecution of any such refund claim. The Seller shall not be entitled to pursue any refund claim if such claim would increase Taxes payable by any Pershing Company or Purchaser after the Closing unless the Seller shall indemnify Purchaser for such increased Taxes. (b) Any amount otherwise payable by the Seller under Section 7.01 shall be reduced by the estimated present value of any net Tax benefit available to the Purchaser or its Affiliates in connection with the payment of Taxes for which the Seller is responsible under Section 7.01, and increased by the estimated present value of any Tax cost reasonably expected to be incurred by the indemnified party or its Affiliates as the result of the receipt of such indemnity payment. The estimated present value of any net Tax benefit and the estimated present value of any Tax costs referred to in this subsection (and in Section 9.02(e)) shall be computed using the applicable federal rate for the appropriate time period as defined in Section 1274(d)(1) of the Code as the discount rate and a Tax rate for all relevant years of 40%.
Tax Returns and Tax Payments (i) The Company has timely filed with the appropriate taxing authorities all Tax Returns required to be filed by it (taking into account all applicable extensions). All such Tax Returns are true, correct and complete in all respects. All Taxes due and owing by the Company has been paid (whether or not shown on any Tax Return and whether or not any Tax Return was required). The Company is not currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return or pay any Tax. No claim has ever been made in writing or otherwise addressed to the Company by a taxing authority in a jurisdiction where the Company does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. The unpaid Taxes of the Company did not, as of the Company Balance Sheet Date, exceed the reserve for Tax liability (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the financial statements (rather than in any notes thereto). Since the Company Balance Sheet Date, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has incurred any liability for Taxes outside the ordinary course of business consistent with past custom and practice. As of the Closing Date, the unpaid Taxes of the Company and its subsidiaries will not exceed the reserve for Tax liability (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the books and records of the Company. (ii) No material claim for unpaid Taxes has been made or become a lien against the property of the Company or is being asserted against the Company, no audit of any Tax Return of the Company is being conducted by a tax authority, and no extension of the statute of limitations on the assessment of any Taxes has been granted by the Company and is currently in effect. The Company has withheld and paid all Taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder or other third party. (iii) As used herein, “Taxes” shall mean all taxes of any kind, including, without limitation, those on or measured by or referred to as income, gross receipts, sales, use, ad valorem, franchise, profits, license, withholding, payroll, employment, excise, severance, stamp, occupation, premium value added, property or windfall profits taxes, customs, duties or similar fees, assessments or charges of any kind whatsoever, together with any interest and any penalties, additions to tax or additional amounts imposed by any governmental authority, domestic or foreign. As used herein, “Tax Return” shall mean any return, report or statement required to be filed with any governmental authority with respect to Taxes.

The Guarantor shall promptly deliver to the Sponsor any receipts, certificates or other proof evidencing the amounts (if any) paid or payable in respect of any deduction or withholding as aforesaid. 9.3 If, following any such deduction or withholding as is referred to in Clause 8.2 from any payment by the Guarantor, the Sponsor shall receive or be granted a credit against or remission for any Taxes payable by it, the Sponsor shall, subject to the Guarantor having made any increased payment in accordance with Clause 8.2 and to the extent that the Sponsor can do so without prejudicing the retention of the amount of such credit or remission and without prejudice to the right of the Sponsor to obtain any other relief or allowance which may be available to it, reimburse the Guarantor with such amount as the Sponsor shall acting in its absolute discretion certify to be the proportion of such credit or remission as will leave the Sponsor (after such reimbursement) in no worse position than it would have been in had there been no such deduction or withholding from the payment by the Guarantor as aforesaid. Such reimbursement shall be made forthwith upon the Sponsor certifying that the amount of such credit or remission has been received by it. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall oblige the Sponsor to rearrange its tax affairs or to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs and computations. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor shall not, by virtue of this Clause 8.3 be entitled to enquire about the Sponsor’s tax affairs. 9.4 Without prejudice to the foregoing provisions of this Clause 8, if the Sponsor is required to make any payment on account of Tax (not being a Tax imposed on and calculated by reference to the net income or a capital gain of the Sponsor by the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated other than any such Tax (including in respect of any balancing charge) imposed as a consequence of the exercise of the Put Option, the First Call Option or the Second Call Option (after taking into account the acquisition by the Sponsor of the Option Interest or the Residual Partnership Interest as the case may be) or otherwise on or in relation to any sum received or receivable or deemed to be received or receivable hereunder by the Sponsor (including any sum received or receivable or deemed to be received or receivable under this Clause 8) or any liability in respect of any such payment is asserted, imposed, levied or assessed against the Sponsor, the Guarantor shall, upon demand of the Sponsor, promptly indemnify the Sponsor against such payment or liability, together with any interest, penalties, costs and expenses payable or incurred in connection therewith (except to the extent that such interest penalties, costs or expenses have been incurred by the Sponsor’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct) by making to the Sponsor such payment as is necessary to ensure that the Sponsor receives a sum net of such Tax equal to the sum which it would have received had no such Tax been imposed. 9.5 If the Guarantor is required to indemnify the Sponsor pursuant to Clause 8.5 or a Tax arises in respect of which the Guarantor has an obligation under this Clause 8, then, without in any way limiting, reducing or otherwise qualifying any rights or obligations of the Sponsor, the Sponsor shall promptly upon becoming aware of the same notify the Guarantor thereof and, in consultation in good faith with the Guarantor, for a period of up to sixty (60) days from the date of such notification, the Sponsor shall take such steps at the request and expense of the Guarantor as may be open to it to mitigate the effects of such circumstances on the Guarantor including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing by using all reasonable endeavours to transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another office or to a subsidiary or an affiliate of the Sponsor or to another institution, in each case not affected by the relevant circumstances provided that the Sponsor shall not be under any obligation to take or continue to take any such action or other steps if the Guarantor is in breach of this Agreement or if in its reasonable opinion, acting in good faith, to do so would have a material adverse effect on its business, operations or financial condition or the financial basis under which, inter alia, this Agreement has been entered into or would entail any cost or expense to the Sponsor (unless, in the case of any adverse effect on such financial basis, or cost or expense, the Sponsor shall have been indemnified or otherwise secured to its satisfaction). 9.6.1 If a claim shall be made by the Sponsor for any Tax for which the Guarantor may be required to indemnify the Sponsor pursuant to Clause 8.2 or Clause 8.5, and under applicable law of the taxing jurisdiction the Guarantor is allowed to contest directly such Tax in its own name, then without prejudice to the obligation of the Guarantor to pay any sum due to the Sponsor pursuant to this Clause 8 on its due date, the Guarantor shall be permitted, at is expense and in its own name, and with the prior written consent of the Sponsor, to contest the imposition of such claim. 9.6.2 If the Guarantor is prevented by applicable law from validly contesting such claim in its own name or if it is necessary for the Sponsor to join in or assist in the contesting by the Guarantor of any claim, upon request of the Guarantor supported by an opinion of counsel selected by the Guarantor reasonably acceptable to the Sponsor confirming that there is a reasonable basis for contesting the validity, applicability or amount of such Taxes, the Sponsor shall, subject to sub-clause 8.7.3, in good faith, at the Guarantor’s expense, contest or assist in contesting the imposition of such Tax. After considering any views offered by the Sponsor and the Sponsor’s counsel concerning the forum in which a claim is most likely to be favourably resolved, the Guarantor may in its sole discretion select the forum for such consent and determine whether any such contest shall be by (a) resisting payment of such Tax, (b) paying such Tax under protest, (c) paying such Tax and seeking a refund or other repayment thereof or (d) seeking a reduction in the amount of such Tax. 9.6.3 In no event shall the Sponsor be required to contest nor shall the Sponsor be required to join in or assist in contesting the imposition of any such Tax: (a) if the Sponsor reasonably believes that to do so would be prejudicial to its interest; (b) unless the Guarantor shall have agreed to pay the Sponsor on demand, and indemnify the Sponsor from, all reasonable costs and expenses that the Sponsor incurs in contesting or assisting in contesting such claim or arising out of or relating to such contest or assistance (including, but not limited to, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses, losses, reasonable legal and accounting fees, disbursements, penalties and interest); and (c) if such contest shall be conducted in a manner requiring the prior payment of the claim by the Sponsor or, if the Guarantor shall request the Sponsor to make payment thereof pursuant to sub-clauses (b) or (c) of Clause 8.7.2 unless the Guarantor shall have advanced to the Sponsor sufficient funds (on an interest free basis) (and if such payment results in Taxable income to the Sponsor in respect of which the Sponsor does not receive a corresponding deduction, on an after tax basis) to make such payment.
