Purchase Price Allocations Seller and Buyer mutually agree to allocate the Purchase Price among the Assets as set forth in EXHIBIT B attached hereto. Seller and Buyer agree that said allocation as set forth in EXHIBIT B is the proper allocation of the Purchase Price in accordance with the fair market value of the Assets, and that said allocation of the Purchase Price of the Assets as set forth in EXHIBIT B shall apply for purposes of Sections 755 and 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended and together with any regulations promulgated thereunder, the "Code"). Seller and Buyer agree (and each agrees to cause its affiliates) to report the federal, state and local income and other tax consequences of the transactions contemplated herein, and in particular to report the information required under Section 1060(b) of the Code (and any regulations promulgated thereunder), in a manner consistent with such allocation. Seller and Buyer further agree (and each agrees to cause its affiliates) to not take any tax position inconsistent with such allocation in connection with the examination of any of their tax returns, refund claims or litigation, investigations or other proceedings involving any of their tax returns. Seller and Buyer each further agree that they will not take any position inconsistent with this allocation in preparing financial statements, tax returns, reports to shareholders or government authorities or otherwise. Buyer and Seller each agree to furnish the other a copy of IRS Form 8594 (Asset Acquisition Statement under Section 1060 of the Code) as filed with the Internal Revenue Service by such party or any affiliate thereof, pursuant to Sections 755 and 1060 of the Code, as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, within thirty (30) days of the filing of such form with the Internal Revenue Service.
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.
Tax Allocations Each item of income, gain, loss or deduction recognized by the Company shall be allocated among the Members for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes in the same manner that each such item is allocated to the Member’s Capital Accounts pursuant to Section 3.2(d) or as otherwise provided herein, provided that the Board may adjust such allocations as long as such adjusted allocations have substantial economic effect or are in accordance with the interests of the Members in the Company, in each case within the meaning of the Code and the Treasury Regulations. Tax credits and tax credit recapture shall be allocated in accordance with the Members’ interests in the Company as provided in Treasury Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii). Items of Company taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property (other than cash) contributed to the capital of the Company or revalued shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members, as determined by the Board in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code, so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its fair market value at the time of contribution or revaluation, as the case may be. All of the Members agree that the Board is authorized to select the method or convention, or to treat an item as an extraordinary item, in relation to any variation of any Member’s interest in the Company described in section 1.706-4 of the Treasury Regulations in determining the Members’ distributive shares of Company items. All matters concerning allocations for U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. income tax purposes, including accounting procedures, not expressly provided for by the terms of this Agreement shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion. Each Class B Ordinary Share is intended to be treated as a profits interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and all of the Members agree to report consistently with, and to take any action requested by the Board to ensure, such treatment.
Allocations for Tax Purposes (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, for federal income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1.
Purchase Price Allocation The Parties shall allocate five percent (5%) of the Final Closing Consideration to the Restrictive Covenants for Tax purposes. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Tax allocation, if any, of the Final Closing Consideration to Restrictive Covenants shall not, in any way, limit any remedy available to Purchaser for any breach by any Seller Party of any Restrictive Covenants. The Parties shall allocate the remainder of the Final Closing Consideration (and any other relevant items) to the Acquired Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code. NIS shall provide to Purchaser a draft allocation within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date. Within forty-five (45) days after NIS’s delivery of the draft allocation, Purchaser shall notify NIS of any objections it may have thereto. The Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any disagreement with respect to such allocation. If the Parties are unable to reach an agreement, they shall cause the Accountant to resolve any remaining disputes. The Parties shall split the costs of such Accountant equally. The Parties agree to file all Tax Returns (including IRS Form 8594) consistent with the purchase price allocation, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6. The Parties shall revise the purchase price allocation, if and when necessary, to take into account any adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to this Agreement using the same methodologies as were used in compiling the initial allocation; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, no additional amounts shall be allocated to the Restrictive Covenants for Tax purposes. To the extent Section 483 of the Code or any succeeding or corresponding provision of applicable law applies to characterize portions of the Purchase Price as interest payments, the Parties hereby agree to so treat them.
Straddle Period Tax Allocation The Company and the Subsidiaries will, unless prohibited by applicable Law, close each of their applicable taxable periods as of the close of business on the Closing Date. If applicable Law does not permit the Company and the Subsidiaries to close any of its taxable years 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 Sellers for the period up to and including the close of business on the Closing Date, and (ii) to Buyer 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 deemed closing of the books and records of the Company and the Subsidiaries 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, property or ad valorem taxes attributable to a Straddle Period shall be allocated to 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.
Income Tax Allocations (a) Except as provided in this Section 4.3, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as such items are allocated for Capital Account purposes under Section 4.1 and Section 4.2.
Consistent Tax Reporting The Members acknowledge and are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article 6 and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article 6 in reporting their shares of Net Income, Net Loss and other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for federal, state and local income tax purposes.
Treatment of Tax Indemnity and Tax Benefit Payments In the absence of any change in Tax treatment under the Code or other applicable Tax Law,
Tax Allocation Prior to the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to determine a reasonable allocation of the total consideration paid for the Transferred Assets, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.1(d), Section 2.1(i) and Section 3.3, in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to mutually agree to such allocation and shall reduce such agreement to writing, which agreement shall be reflected in an Exhibit 2.1(j) to be approved by Seller and Purchaser prior to Closing. Seller and Purchaser shall jointly and properly execute each party’s respective completed Internal Revenue Service Form 8594, and any other forms or statements required by the Code (or state or local Tax law), Treasury Regulations or the Internal Revenue Service or other Governmental Authority (together with any and all attachments required to be filed therewith), which forms and statements will be prepared in a manner consistent with the Purchase Price Allocation. Seller and Purchaser shall file timely such forms and statements with the Internal Revenue Service or other Governmental Authority. The Purchase Price Allocation shall be appropriately adjusted to take into account any subsequent payments under this Agreement and any other subsequent events required to be taken into account under Section 1060 of the Code. Seller and Purchaser shall not file any Tax Return or other documents or otherwise take any position with respect to Taxes that is inconsistent with the Purchase Price Allocation; provided, however, that neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be obligated to litigate any challenge to such allocation by any Governmental Authority. Seller and Purchaser shall promptly inform one another of any challenge by any Governmental Authority to any allocation made pursuant to this Section 2.1(j) and agree to consult with and keep one another informed with respect to the state of, and any discussion, proposal or submission with respect to, such challenge.
