Taxes and Assessments; Tax Indemnity The Company shall (a) file all tax returns and appropriate schedules thereto that are required to be filed under applicable law, prior to the date of delinquency, (b) pay and discharge all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the Company, upon its income and profits or upon any properties belonging to it, prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto, and (c) pay all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies that, if unpaid, might become a lien or charge upon any of its properties; provided, however, that the Company in good faith may contest any such tax, assessment, governmental charge or levy described in the foregoing clauses (b) and (c) so long as appropriate reserves are maintained with respect thereto.
Tax Covenants (a) Without the prior written consent of Buyer, Seller (and, prior to the Closing, the Teco Subsidiaries, and their respective Affiliates and Representatives) shall not, to the extent it may affect, or relate to, the Teco Subsidiaries, make, change or rescind any Tax election, amend any Tax Return or take any position on any Tax Return, take any action, omit to take any action or enter into any other transaction that would have the effect of increasing the Tax liability or reducing any Tax asset of Buyer or the Teco Subsidiaries in respect of any Post-Closing Tax Period. Seller agrees that Buyer is to have no liability for any Tax resulting from any action of the Seller, the Teco Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates and Representatives, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer (and, after the Closing Date, the Teco Subsidiaries) against any such Tax or reduction of any Tax asset for periods prior to the Closing Date. (b) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be borne and paid by Seller when due. Seller shall, on behalf of the Seller and at the Seller’s own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and Buyer shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary). (c) Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Teco Subsidiaries after the Closing Date with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law) and without a change of any election or any accounting method and shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by Seller, supporting documentation) at least 45 days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return. If Seller objects to any item on any such Tax Return, it shall, within ten days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify Buyer in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such items. If Buyer and Seller are unable to reach such agreement within ten days after receipt by Buyer of such notice, the disputed items shall be resolved by an independent, nationally recognized accounting firm selected by Buyer and reasonably acceptable to Seller (the “Accounting Referee”) and any determination by the Accounting Referee shall be final. The Accounting Referee shall resolve any disputed items within twenty days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require. If the Accounting Referee is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date for such Tax Return, the Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Buyer and then amended to reflect the Accounting Referee’s resolution. The costs, fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller. The preparation and filing of any Tax Return of the Teco Subsidiaries that does not relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be exclusively within the control of Buyer.
General Tax Indemnity Lessee shall pay and discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, within the period for payment permitted by law (and shall, if requested by a Tax Indemnitee, produce to that Tax Indemnitee evidence of the payment and discharge thereof) and indemnify each Tax Indemnitee and keep each Tax Indemnitee fully indemnified at all times from and against all Taxes payable by that Tax Indemnitee at any time in respect of this Agreement, any of Operative Documents, or the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, or any Part or interest therein or in respect of any transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Operative Documents including, without limitation, the purchase (including, without limitation, under the Purchase Agreement), ownership, delivery, redelivery, transport, leasing, subleasing, financing, refinancing, mortgaging, location, registration, use, possession and operation, repair, import to or export from any country, return, storage, maintenance, protection, sale, attempted sale, acceptance, abandonment, rejection or other disposition of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, or any Part or interest therein, or the rentals, receipts, income or earnings arising from any of the foregoing. The preceding sentence shall not apply to, and Lessee shall have no liability to a Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Clause 18.2 with respect to the following Taxes (collectively, “Excluded Taxes”): (a) any Taxes arising with respect to periods after the termination of the leasing of the Aircraft under this Agreement and the return of the Aircraft in compliance with the terms hereof; provided, however, that the exclusion set forth in this subparagraph (a) shall not apply to Taxes relating to events occurring or matters arising on or prior to such time or to Taxes relating to payments made by Lessee to or for the benefit of such Tax Indemnitee under Lessee’s Documents following such time; (b) any Taxes imposed on such Tax Indemnitee to the extent that such Taxes are directly attributable to any Tax Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or breach by such Tax Indemnitee or any Related Tax Indemnitee of its representations or covenants under any Lessee’s Document provided that, in the case of any Tax Indemnitee that is a Lender or a Related Tax Indemnitee, any Tax indemnification of such person shall (if requested by Lessee) be conditioned on an officer or other authorized signatory of Lessor certifying to Lessee that such Tax is not imposed due to the breach by a Tax Indemnitee or Related Tax Indemnitee of any of its representations, warranties or covenants under the Financing Documents; (c) any Taxes imposed on such Tax Indemnitee that result from (i) any voluntary or involuntary sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition by such Tax Indemnitee or any Related Tax Indemnitee of any interest in the Aircraft or any part or portion thereof or this Agreement or any Operative Document, including any foreclosure by a creditor of such Tax Indemnitee or any Related Tax Indemnitee; provided, however, this sub-clause (c) shall not apply to Taxes arising or resulting from (t) any transfer of the Aircraft pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or the delivery of the Aircraft pursuant to this Agreement, (u) any transfer resulting from the repair, replacement or maintenance of the Aircraft or any part thereof, (v) any grant of a lien or security interest pursuant to any Financing Document upon or following a re-registration of the Aircraft in any jurisdiction other than the United States provided that Lessee is given at least 5 Business Days notice of such grant (but this subclause (v) shall apply only to the extent such Taxes exceed the amount of Taxes that would have been imposed had the Aircraft been and remained registered in the United States), (w) any transfer by the Lessee, including by reason of a sublease, whether or not permitted hereunder, (x) any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition occurring in connection with the exercise of remedies hereunder or under any Financing Document while an Event of Default hereunder has occurred and is continuing (or would be continuing but for the exercise of remedies), (y) any loss, damage, destruction, casualty, requisition, seizure or condemnation of all or any part of the Aircraft or (z) while the Aircraft is subleased to any non-U.S. carrier (but this subclause (z) shall apply only to the extent such Taxes exceed the Taxes that would have been imposed had the Aircraft not been so subleased); (d) any Taxes imposed on such Tax Indemnitee with respect to, or measured by, the net or gross income, capital gain, profits, receipts, capital, net worth, corporate franchise, business activity, conduct of business or privilege to conduct business of such Tax Indemnitee or an Affiliate thereof or in the nature or a minimum income tax, (i) by the United States or any state or local jurisdiction therein (other than by reason of the replacement or substitution of an Engine or any part of the Aircraft) or (ii) by any other jurisdiction except in the case of this clause (ii), Taxes that would not have been imposed but for a connection between such Tax Indemnitee and the jurisdiction imposing the Tax due to any or all of (x) the negotiation, presence, execution or delivery by Lessee, or the enforcement or registration of any of Lessee’s Documents in such other jurisdiction, (y) the presence, use, operation, maintenance, alteration, registration, repair or replacement of the Aircraft or any part thereof in such other jurisdiction, or (z) the presence or organization of Lessee or other user of the Aircraft in, or payment by, or for the benefit of, Lessee of any amount under the Lessee’s Documents from, such other jurisdiction (Taxes described in sub-clauses (x), (y) or (z) above shall be referred to as “Lessee Connection Taxes”); (e) any Tax other than a Lessee Connection Tax imposed on a Tax Indemnitee as a result of any Tax Indemnitee, any Related Tax Indemnitee or any Affiliate of any Tax Indemnitee (A) being organized in the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes, (B) maintaining or having maintained an office or other place of business in the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes or (C) conducting or having conducted business that is unrelated to the transactions contemplated in the Lessee’s Documents in the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes; (f) a Tax that would not have been imposed but for a Lessor’s Lien; (g) any Tax that would not have been imposed but for the existence or status of any trust used to hold title to the Aircraft; (h) any Tax imposed on a Tax Indemnitee in respect of a “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the regulations issued thereunder, or Section 406 of ERISA or the regulations of the US Department of Labor implementing Section 406 of ERISA other than any such Tax arising as a result of Lessee’s breach of Clause 2.1(p) or 8.5 hereof; (i) any Tax imposed as a result of any Tax Indemnitee’s or its Affiliate’s, agent’s or advisor’s failure to comply with sections 6111, 6112, 6707, 6707A or 6708 of the Code; (j) any Tax imposed on (i) a transferee of the interests held by a Tax Indemnitee in the Aircraft or any Operative Documents, or (ii) a transferee of any interest in a Tax Indemnitee, in each case to the extent that, under law in effect on the date of transfer such Tax exceeds the amount of the Tax that would have been imposed on the transferor Tax Indemnitee, provided however that this sub-clause (j) shall not apply to any transfer described in the proviso to clause (c) above; (k) in the case of any Tax Indemnitee that is a Lender or a Related Tax Indemnitee of a Lender, any Taxes unless such Taxes are subject to indemnification pursuant to the indemnification provisions of the Financing Documents; (l) a Tax liability of any Tax Indemnitee which would have arisen even if this Lease had not been entered into; and (m) any Tax arising from the failure of a Tax Indemnitee to comply with any certification or other requirement of the jurisdiction imposing the Tax as a precondition to any exemption from or reduction of such Tax to which such Tax Indemnitee may be entitled; provided such certification or other requirement or compliance therewith would not expose such Tax Indemnitee to any risk of material adverse consequences and further provided that Lessee has notified such Tax Indemnitee or such Tax Indemnitee has otherwise acquired knowledge of the relevant Tax and such certification or other requirement within sufficient time so as to allow such Tax Indemnitee, acting with diligence, to comply with such certification or requirement; provided the exclusions set forth in this Clause 18.2 shall not be interpreted to exclude the making of any payment on an After-Tax Basis.
DAC TAX The Company and the Reinsurer agree to the DAC Tax Election pursuant to Section 1.848-2(g)(8) of the Income Tax Regulations effective December 29, 1992, under Section 848 of the Internal Revenue code of 1986, as amended, whereby: 12.1.1 The party with the net positive consideration for this Agreement for each taxable year will capitalize specified policy acquisition expenses with respect to this Agreement without regard to the general deductions limitation of Section 848(c)(1); and 12.1.2 Both parties agree to exchange information pertaining to the amount of net consideration under this Agreement each year to ensure consistency. To achieve this, the Company shall provide the Reinsurer with a schedule of its calculation of the net considerations for all reinsurance agreements in force between them for a taxable year by no later than May 1 of the succeeding year. The Reinsurer shall advise the Company no later than May 31, otherwise the amounts will be presumed correct and shall be reported by both parties in their respective tax returns for such tax year. If the Reinsurer contests the Company's calculation of net consideration, the parties agree to act in good faith to resolve any differences within thirty (30) days of the date the Reinsurer submits its alternative calculation and report the amounts agreed upon in their respective tax returns for such year. The term "net consideration" will refer to the net consideration as defined in Regulation Section 1.848-2(f). The Company and the Reinsurer will report the amount of net consideration in their respective federal income tax returns for the previous calendar year. The Company and the Reinsurer will also attach a schedule to their respective federal income tax returns which identifies the Agreement as a reinsurance agreement for which the DAC Tax Election under Regulation Section 1.848.2 (g) (8) has been made. This DAC Tax Election will be effective for all years for which this Agreement remains in effect. The Company and the Reinsurer represent and warrant that they are subject to U.S. taxation under either the provisions of subchapter L of Chapter 1 or the provisions of subpart F of subchapter N of Chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Amended Tax Returns (a) Subject to Section 4.4 and notwithstanding Section 2.1 and Section 2.2, a Party (or its Subsidiary) that is entitled to file an amended Tax Return for a Pre-Distribution Tax Period or a Straddle Tax Period for members of its Tax Group shall be permitted to prepare and file an amended Tax Return at its own cost and expense; provided, however, that (i) such amended Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with (and the Parties and their Affiliates shall not take any position inconsistent with) past practices of the Parties and their Affiliates or supported by an unqualified reasoned “should” or “will” opinion of a Qualified Tax Advisor, unless otherwise modified by a Final Determination or required by applicable Law, the IRS Ruling, the Tax Representation Letters, or the Tax Opinions; and (ii) if such amended Tax Return could result in one or more other Parties becoming responsible for a payment of Taxes pursuant to Article III or a payment to a Party pursuant to Article IX, such amended Tax Return shall be permitted only if the consent of such other Parties is obtained. The consent of such other Parties shall not be withheld unreasonably and shall be deemed to be obtained in the event that a Party (or its Subsidiary) is required to file an amended Tax Return as a result of an Audit adjustment that arose in accordance with Article IX. (b) A Party (or its Subsidiary) that is entitled to file an amended Tax Return for a Post-Distribution Tax Period, shall be permitted to do so at its own cost and expense and without the consent of any Party. (c) A Party that is permitted (or whose Subsidiary is permitted) to file an amended Tax Return, shall not be relieved of any liability for payments pursuant to this Agreement notwithstanding that another Party consented thereto.
Withholding Tax Indemnity To the extent required by any applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall, within 10 days after written demand therefor, indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.01 and Section 3.04 and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Borrower to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Taxes or otherwise, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.13. The agreements in this Section 9.13 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” for purposes of this Section 9.13 shall include each L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender.
Tax Indemnity (a) The Company shall (within ten Business Days of written demand by the Facility Agent) pay to a Protected Party an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Protected Party reasonably determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Tax by that Protected Party in respect of a payment of an Obligor. (b) Paragraph (a) above shall not apply: (i) with respect to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party: (A) under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party is treated as resident for tax purposes; or (B) under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party’s Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction, if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Finance Party; or (ii) to the extent a loss, liability or cost: (A) is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 16.2 (Tax gross-up); or (B) would be compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 16.2(c) (Tax gross-up) but is not so actually compensated for solely as a result of one of the exclusions in paragraph (d)(ii) of Clause 16.2 (Tax gross-up). (c) A Protected Party making, or intending to make a claim under paragraph (a) above shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Facility Agent shall notify the Company. (d) A Protected Party shall, on receiving a payment from an Obligor under this Clause 16.3, notify the Facility Agent.
Taxation 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 reasonably request to enable the Company or its agents to file the necessary tax reports with governmental authorities or agencies. The Depositary, the Custodian or the Company and its agents may 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. In accordance with instructions from the Company and to the extent practicable, the Depositary or the Custodian will take reasonable administrative actions to obtain tax refunds, reduced withholding of tax at source on dividends and other benefits under applicable tax treaties or laws with respect to dividends and other distributions on the Deposited Securities. As a condition to receiving such benefits, Holders and Beneficial Owners of ADSs may be required from time to time, and in a timely manner, to 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 and any of their respective directors, 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. If the Company (or any of its agents) withholds from any distribution any amount on account of taxes or governmental charges, or pays any other tax in respect of such distribution (i.e., stamp duty tax, capital gains or other similar tax), the Company shall (and shall cause such agent to) remit promptly to the Depositary information about such taxes or governmental charges withheld or paid, and, if so requested, the tax receipt (or other proof of payment to the applicable governmental authority) therefor, in each case, in a form satisfactory to the Depositary. The Depositary shall, to the extent required by U.S. law, report to Holders any taxes withheld by it or the Custodian, and, if such information is provided to it by the Company, any taxes withheld 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 or the Custodian, as applicable. Neither the Depositary nor the Custodian 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. 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 ADSs, including without limitation, tax consequences resulting from the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) being treated as a “Passive Foreign Investment Company” (in each case as defined in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and the regulations issued thereunder) or otherwise.
