Common use of Group Relief Clause in Contracts

Group Relief. (i) SpinCo shall procure that each relevant member of the SpinCo Group shall surrender to, or claim from, a relevant member of the Distributing Group, and (ii) Distributing shall procure that each relevant member of the Distributing Group shall claim from, or surrender to, a relevant member of the SpinCo Group, any Group Relief available in respect of all Pre-Distribution Periods, provided that neither SpinCo nor Distributing shall be obliged to procure that any member of its Group makes (x) any such surrender of Group Relief to a member of the other Group ahead of any surrender of Group Relief to another member of its own Group, or (y) any such claim of Group Relief from a member of the other Group ahead of any claim of Group Relief available from a member of its own Group. Distributing and SpinCo shall procure that the relevant members of its Group use all reasonable endeavors to procure that full effect is given to surrenders and claims to be made under this Section 3.9 and that such surrenders and claims are allowed in full by HM Revenue & Customs, including signing and submitting to HM Revenue & Customs all such notices of consent to surrender (including provisional or protective notices of consent in cases where any relevant UK corporation tax computation has not yet been agreed). (b) To the extent any surrender is made under Section 3.9(a), in consideration for each such surrender, SpinCo and Distributing shall procure that the relevant member of its Group that is the company claiming Group Relief (the “Claiming Party”) shall pay to the member of the other Group that is the surrendering company a sum equal to the amount of UK corporation tax from which the Claiming Party has been relieved by virtue of the surrender being made. Any sum payable under this Section 3.9(b) shall be paid on the date on which any corporation tax chargeable on the taxable profits of the Claiming Party for the Taxable Period to which the relevant surrender relates becomes due and payable (or would have become due and payable had the Claiming Party incurred any liability to UK corporation tax in respect of that Taxable Period).
