Otherwise, Buyer 543 shall withhold the applicable percentage of the amount realized by Seller on the transfer and timely remit said funds 544 to the IRS. 545 (ii) If Seller is a foreign person and has received a Withholding Certificate from the IRS which provides for reduced 546 or eliminated withholding in this transaction and provides same to Buyer by Closing, then Buyer shall withhold the 547 reduced sum required, if any, and timely remit said funds to the IRS. 548 (iii) If prior to Closing Seller has submitted a completed application to the IRS for a Withholding Certificate and has 549 provided to Buyer the notice required by 26 CFR 1.1445-1(c) (2)(i)(B) but no Withholding Certificate has been 550 received as of Closing, Buyer shall, at Closing, withhold the applicable percentage of the amount realized by Seller 551 on the transfer and, at Buyer’s Xxxxx's option, either (a) timely remit the withheld funds to the IRS or (b) place the funds in 552 escrow, at Seller’s Xxxxxx's expense, with an escrow agent selected by Buyer Xxxxx and pursuant to terms negotiated by the 553 554 555 556 557 558 559 560 561 562 563 564 565 566 567 568 569* 570 parties, to be subsequently disbursed in accordance with the Withholding Certificate issued by the IRS or remitted 554 directly to the IRS if the Seller’s 's application is rejected or upon terms set forth in the escrow agreement. 555 (iv) In the event the net proceeds due Seller are not sufficient to meet the withholding requirement(s) in this 556 transaction, Seller shall deliver to Buyer, at Closing, the additional COLLECTED funds necessary to satisfy the 557 applicable requirement and thereafter Buyer shall timely remit said funds to the IRS or escrow the funds for 558 disbursement in accordance with the final determination of the IRS, as applicable.
