Tax Laws (a) AVIF represents and warrants that each Fund is currently qualified as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and represents that it will use its best efforts to qualify and to maintain qualification of each Fund as a RIC. AVIF will notify LIFE COMPANY immediately upon having a reasonable basis for believing that a Fund has ceased to so qualify or that it might not so qualify in the future.
Foreign Tax Compliance Except as otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, no transaction, stamp, capital or other issuance, registration, transaction, transfer or withholding taxes or duties are payable in China, Hong Kong or Cayman Islands to any PRC, Hong Kong or Cayman Islands taxing authority in connection with the issuance, sale and delivery of the Offered Securities, and the delivery of the Offered Securities to or for the account of the Underwriters.
FOREIGN TAX CREDITS AVIF agrees to consult in advance with LIFE COMPANY concerning any decision to elect or not to elect pursuant to Section 853 of the Code to pass through the benefit of any foreign tax credits to its shareholders.
Tax Law The Custodian shall have no responsibility or liability for any obligations now or hereafter imposed on the Fund, the Portfolios or the Custodian as custodian of the Portfolios by the tax law of the United States or of any state or political subdivision thereof. It shall be the responsibility of the Fund to notify the Custodian of the obligations imposed on the Fund with respect to the Portfolios or the Custodian as custodian of the Portfolios by the tax law of countries other than those mentioned in the above sentence, including responsibility for withholding and other taxes, assessments or other governmental charges, certifications and governmental reporting. The sole responsibility of the Custodian with regard to such tax law shall be to use reasonable efforts to assist the Fund with respect to any claim for exemption or refund under the tax law of countries for which the Fund has provided such information.
Foreign Taxes Any amounts payable hereunder, other than payments of interest, principal or premium, if any, in respect of any of the Securities, to an Underwriter shall be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any and all taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges or fees of whatsoever nature now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, deducted or withheld or assessed by or on behalf of Australia or any political subdivision thereof or by any jurisdiction, other than the United States or any taxing authority or political subdivision thereof, in which the Bank has a branch, an office or any agency from which payment is made (a “Taxing Authority”), excluding (i) any such tax which would not have been imposed if such Underwriter had no present or former connection with any such jurisdiction other than the performance of its obligations hereunder, (ii) any income or franchise tax imposed on the net income of such Underwriter by any jurisdiction of which such Underwriter is a resident, citizen or domiciliary, or in which such Underwriter is engaged in business and (iii) any tax imposed that would not have been imposed but for the failure by such Underwriter to comply with any certification, identification or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with any Taxing Authority if compliance is required by such Taxing Authority as a pre-condition to exemption from, or reduction in rate of, such tax (all such non-excluded taxes, the “Foreign Taxes”). If, by operation of law or otherwise, that portion of amounts payable hereunder represented by Foreign Taxes withheld or deducted cannot be paid or remitted, then amounts payable under this Agreement shall be increased to such amounts as are necessary to yield and remit to such Underwriter amounts which, after deduction of all Foreign Taxes (including all Foreign Taxes payable on such increased payments) equal the amounts that would have been payable if no Foreign Taxes had been so withheld or deducted (the “Additional Amount”); provided, however, that no Additional Amount with respect to any payment or compensation to such Underwriter hereunder shall be required to be paid in the event that such payment or compensation is subject to such Foreign Tax by reason of such Underwriter being connected with the jurisdiction of the Taxing Authority other than by reason of merely receiving payment hereunder.
Transaction Taxes Fund is responsible for all taxes, levies, duties, and assessments levied on Services purchased under this Agreement (collectively, “Transaction Taxes”). Computershare is responsible for collecting and remitting Transaction Taxes in all jurisdictions in which Computershare is registered to collect such Transaction Taxes. Computershare shall invoice Fund for such Transaction Taxes that Computershare is obligated to collect upon the furnishing of Services. Fund shall pay such Transaction Taxes according to the terms in Section 7.3. Computershare shall timely remit to the appropriate governmental authorities all such Transaction Taxes that Computershare collects from Fund. To the extent that Fund provides Computershare with valid exemption certificates, direct pay permits, or other documentation that exempts Computershare from collecting Transaction Taxes from Fund, invoices issued for Services provided after Computershare’s receipt of such certificates, permits, or other documentation will not reflect exempted Transaction Taxes. Computershare is solely responsible for the payment of all personal property taxes, franchise taxes, corporate excise or privilege taxes, property or license taxes, taxes relating to Computershare’s personnel, and taxes based on Computershare’s net income or gross revenues relating to Services.
Income Tax Liability Within ten Business Days after the receipt of revenue agent reports or other written proposals, determinations or assessments of the IRS or any other taxing authority which propose, determine or otherwise set forth positive adjustments to the Tax liability of any “affiliated group” (within the meaning of Section 1504(a)(l) of the Code) which equal or exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate, telephonic or telecopied notice (confirmed in writing within five Business Days) specifying the nature of the items giving rise to such adjustments and the amounts thereof.

Income Tax Characterization For purposes of federal income, state and local income and franchise and any other income taxes, the Issuer will, and each Noteholder by such Noteholder’s acceptance of any such Notes (and each Person who acquires an interest in any Notes through such Noteholder, by the acceptance by such Person of an interest in the applicable Notes) agrees to, treat the Notes that are characterized as indebtedness at the time of their issuance, and hereby instructs the Issuer to treat such Notes, as indebtedness for federal, state and other tax reporting purposes. Each Noteholder agrees that it will cause any Person acquiring an interest in a Note through it to comply with this Indenture as to treatment as indebtedness under applicable tax law, as described in this Section 3.21.

The parties hereto agree that they shall not cause or permit the making, as applicable, of any election under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3 (or any successor provision) whereby the Trust or any portion thereof would be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. The provisions of this Indenture shall be construed in furtherance of the foregoing intended tax treatment.
