Certain Tax Matters 11.1. TAX PERIODS ENDING ON OR BEFORE THE CLOSING DATE; TAX SHARING PAYMENT. All Taxes payable by or on behalf of an Acquired Company that are attributable to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, including those that become due after the Closing Date, shall be paid by Seller. Buyer shall provide Seller with any and all information Seller may reasonably require in regard to the Acquired Companies for the preparation of Seller's consolidated Tax Return and all applicable final state Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies. All Tax Returns involving the Acquired Companies for such taxable periods shall be prepared and filed by Seller, at Seller's sole cost, when the same are due; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT Seller shall permit Buyer to review and comment on each such Tax Return (except to the extent such Tax Return is filed on a consolidated basis with the Tax Return of Seller or any of Seller's Subsidiaries, Buyer shall be only permitted to review the portion of such Tax Return as specifically relates to the Acquired Companies) prior to filing and shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Buyer as long as such revisions are consistent with the prior practices of the Acquired Companies and will not delay the filing of the Tax Return in a timely manner. In connection with Buyer's review, which shall be at Buyer's sole cost, Seller agrees to provide any and all financial data that is reasonably necessary to confirm the correctness of any such Tax Returns. Where required by applicable Legal Requirements, a current officer of an Acquired Company will sign and mail any such Tax Return after the review and comment procedure has been completed but in no event later than the date such Tax Return is due.
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, the Buyer will, and will cause its affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.
Tax Filings To the extent required, Borrower has filed (or has obtained effective extensions for filing) all federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed and have paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all federal, state and local taxes, charges and assessments payable by Borrower. Borrower believes that its tax returns (if any) properly reflect the income and taxes of Borrower for the periods covered thereby, subject only to reasonable adjustments required by the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable tax authority upon audit.
Payment of Taxes and Claims; Tax Consolidation The Company shall pay, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, (a) all material taxes, assessments and other governmental charges imposed upon it or on any of its properties or assets or in respect of any of its franchises, business, income or property before any penalty or interest accrues thereon, and (b) all claims (including, without limitation, claims for labor, services, materials and supplies) for sums which have become due and payable and which by law have or may become a Lien (other than a Lien permitted by Section 7.03) upon any of the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s property or assets, prior to the time when any penalty or fine shall be incurred with respect thereto; provided, however, that no such taxes, assessments and governmental charges referred to in clause (a) above or claims referred to in clause (b) above (and interest, penalties or fines relating thereto) need be paid if being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently instituted and conducted and if such reserve or other appropriate provision, if any, as shall be required in conformity with Agreement Accounting Principles shall have been made therefor.
Income Tax Returns Borrower has no knowledge of any pending assessments or adjustments of its income tax payable with respect to any year.
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.
Company Tax Returns The Company shall file all tax returns, if any, required to be filed by the Company.
Filing of Tax Returns The Company has filed all necessary federal, state, local and foreign tax returns, and has paid all taxes shown as due thereon (other than those being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP), except where failure to so file or pay would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and except as otherwise set forth in or contemplated in the Registration Statement, Statutory Prospectus and the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).
Changes in Tax Laws In the event that, subsequent to the Closing Date, (1) any changes in any existing law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof, (2) any new law, regulation, treaty or directive enacted or any interpretation or application thereof, or (3) compliance by Agent or any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority:
(i) does or shall subject Agent or any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Agent or such Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for net income taxes, or franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, imposed generally by federal, state or local taxing authorities with respect to interest or commitment Fees or other Fees payable hereunder or changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of Agent or such Lender); or
(ii) does or shall impose on Agent or any Lender any other condition or increased cost in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or participations herein; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Agent or any such Lender of issuing any Letter of Credit or making or continuing any Loan hereunder, as the case may be, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, Borrowers shall promptly pay to Agent or such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Agent or such Lender, on an after-tax basis, for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable, as determined by Agent or such Lender with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If Agent or such Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 1.11(b), it shall promptly notify Borrower Representative of the event by reason of which Agent or such Lender has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Agent or such Lender to Borrower Representative (with a copy to Agent) shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.
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).
(iii) Buyer, the Company, and the Interest Owners further agree, upon request, to provide the other Party with all information that either Party may be required to report pursuant to Code §6043 and all Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.
