Refunds and Credits Seller shall be entitled to any Tax refunds that are received by Buyer and any amounts credited against Tax to which the Buyer, the Transferred FH Companies or their Closing Subsidiaries become entitled (including as a result of any amended Tax Returns) that relate to the Transferred FH Companies or their Closing Subsidiaries for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods or that are subject to indemnification by Seller pursuant to this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, refunds or credits in respect of VAT attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period), to the extent such refunds or credits were not taken into account in determining Final Net Working Capital and are not attributable to the carryback of a net operating loss of any Transferred FH Company or Closing Subsidiary generated in a Post-Closing Tax Period. Buyer shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, to Seller, within ten (10) days of receipt, the amount of the refund or credit (including interest) received or utilized by Buyer, the Transferred FH Companies or any of their Closing Subsidiaries, or any of their respective Affiliates, net of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in obtaining such refund or credit and any Taxes borne by Buyer, the Transferred FH Companies or any of their Closing Subsidiaries, or any of their respective Affiliates as a direct result of their receipt of such refund or utilization of any such credit. Buyer shall claim any such refund or to utilize any such credit as soon as reasonably possible upon Seller’s written request. Buyer agrees to furnish to Seller all information, records and assistance reasonably requested by Seller to verify the amount of the refund or credit, provided that Buyer shall not be required to furnish to Seller any consolidated, combined, affiliated or unitary Tax Return that includes Buyer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of Buyer other than the Transferred FH Companies or any of their Closing Subsidiaries. The amount of economic benefit of any such refunds or credits of the Transferred FH Companies and their Closing Subsidiaries for any Straddle Period shall be equitably apportioned between Seller and Buyer in a manner consistent with Section 7.1 hereof.

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.

(b) Any transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, excise, recording, registration value added and other similar Taxes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Taxes imposed under Section 4501 of the Code (as amended by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, H.R. 5376) (“Stock Buyback Tax”)) (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) that become payable by any of the parties hereto in connection with or by reason of the execution of this Agreement and the Transactions shall be borne by the Company. The party hereto responsible for filing any necessary Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes under applicable Law shall cause such Tax Returns to be filed, and if required by applicable Law, the other parties hereto shall join in the execution of any such Tax Returns.
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%.
