Liability for Taxes (a) Seller is responsible for and will timely pay any Taxes arising or resulting from or in connection with the conduct of the Business or the ownership or use of the Purchased Assets attributable to any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date (a “Pre-Closing Period”) other than any Assumed Liability. Buyer is responsible for and will timely pay any Taxes arising or resulting from or in connection with the conduct of the Business or the ownership or use of the Purchased Assets attributable to any Tax period beginning after the Closing Date (a “Post-Closing Period”) and any Taxes that are an Assumed Liability.
(b) The Parties agree that any Apportioned Taxes, and any refund, rebate or similar payment received by Seller or Buyer for any Apportioned Taxes, will be apportioned between Seller and Buyer as follows:
(i) For Apportioned Taxes measured by the amount or level of any item (including such taxes as are measured by the value of intangibles), Seller is responsible for the amount of such Apportioned Taxes that are determined by multiplying (A) the amount or level of such items immediately prior to the Closing, by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period.
(ii) For all Apportioned Taxes not described in clause (i), Seller is responsible for the amount of such Apportioned Taxes that are determined by multiplying (A) the amount of such Apportioned Taxes for the entire Straddle Period, by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period.
(iii) All Apportioned Taxes that are not the responsibility of Seller pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i) through Section 7.1(b)(ii) hereof shall be the responsibility of Buyer.
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, Seller and Buyer are each responsible for their own Income Taxes arising out of their conduct of the Business or their ownership or use of the Purchased Assets, including Income Taxes arising out of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement (including the limitations set forth in Sections 11.2 or 11.3), any obligation arising out of this Section 7.1 will not be subject to any limits of minimum or maximum amounts, measurement of aggregate amount of Losses or any limit of time.
Indemnity for Taxes (a) All payments made by the Issuer to the Funding Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers under this Note Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future stamp or similar taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Official Body, excluding (i) taxes that would not have been imposed if the Affected Party had timely complied with the requirements of Section 8.03(b), and (ii) taxes imposed on the net income of the Funding Agent or any other Affected Party, in each case imposed by any jurisdiction under the laws of which the Funding Agent or such Affected Party is organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, collectively or individually, “Taxes”). If any such Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Funding Agent or any Affected Party hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Funding Agent or such Affected Party shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Funding Agent or such Affected Party (after payment of all Taxes) all amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Note Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. The Issuer shall indemnify the Funding Agent or any such Affected Party for the full amount of any such Taxes on the first Settlement Date which is not less than ten (10) days after the date of written demand therefor by the Funding Agent.
(b) Each Affected Party that is a Non-United States Person shall:
(i) deliver to the Issuer and the Funding Agent two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8 BEN or Form W-8 ECI, or successor applicable form, as the case may be;
(ii) deliver to the Issuer and the Funding Agent two (2) further copies of any such form or certification on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Issuer; and
(iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Issuer or the Funding Agent; unless, in any such case, an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which, regardless of the identity of the Affected Party, renders all such forms inapplicable or which, regardless of the identity of the Affected Party, would prevent such Affected Party from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it, and such Affected Party so advises the Issuer and the Funding Agent. Each such Affected Party so organized shall certify in the case of an IRS Form W-8 BEN or IRS Form W-8 ECI (or successor applicable form), that it is entitled to receive payments under this Note Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each Affected Party which is a Non-United States Person represents and warrants to the Issuer and the Funding Agent that, as of the date of this Note Purchase Agreement (or the date such Person otherwise becomes an Affected Party, as the case may be), (i) it is entitled to receive all payments hereunder without deduction or withholding for or on account of any United States federal Taxes and (ii) it is permitted to take the actions described in the preceding sentence under the laws and any applicable double taxation treaties of the jurisdiction of its head office or any booking office used in connection with this Note Purchase Agreement. Each Affected Party which is a Non-United States Person further agrees that, to the extent any form claiming complete or partial exemption from withholding and deduction of United States federal Taxes delivered under this clause (b) is found to be incomplete or incorrect in any material respect, such Affected Party shall (to the extent it is permitted to do so under the laws and any double taxation treaties of the United States, the jurisdiction of its organization and the jurisdictions in which its relevant booking offices are located) execute and deliver to each of the Funding Agent and the Issuer a complete and correct replacement form.
Liability for Transfer Taxes The Stockholder agrees to indemnify the Company for any Incremental Transfer Taxes incurred as a result of any direct or indirect transfers of the Company Shares received in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, or interests therein (other than the receipt of the Merger Consideration by the Stockholder pursuant to the Merger Agreement) within two years after the IPO Closing Date; provided that such Company Shares shall be the Company’s sole recourse with respect to such indemnification obligation. The Stockholder hereby grants a security interest in 50% of its Company Shares received in the Merger to the Company and hereby irrevocably appoints the Company, and any of its agents, officers, or employees as its attorney-in fact, which shall be deemed coupled with an interest, with full power to prepare, execute and deliver any documents, instruments and agreements as may be appropriate to perfect and continue such security interest in favor of the Company. The security interest granted pursuant to this Section 6.05 shall attach to the Company Shares that are not included in the Indemnity Holdback Amount. The Company agrees that the security interest in the Company Shares received by the Stockholder in the Merger may be released, or collateral may be substituted, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
Responsibility for Taxes (a) Regardless of any action the Company or the Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the issuance of Shares upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant has become subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the date of grant and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b) Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer; or (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization); or (iii) withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, provided, however, that if the Participant is a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act, then the Company will withhold in Shares upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, unless the use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case, the obligation for Tax-Related Items may be satisfied by one or a combination of methods (i) and (ii) hereof. Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Participant will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.
(c) Finally, the Participant shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the Participant fails to comply with the Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
Indemnification for Taxes (a) Seller Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates, including, after the Closing, the Company (each herein sometimes referred to as an “Indemnified Taxpayer”), against, and protect, save and hold harmless each Indemnified Taxpayer from, any and all Damages directly resulting from:
(i) any Taxes of the Company allocable to any period ending on or prior to the Closing Date or, as provided in Section 7.3(b), allocable to the pre-Closing portion of any period that begins on or before and ends after the Closing Date;
(ii) any Taxes of any other Person imposed on the Company (or Buyer as a result of the Company being a disregarded entity post-Closing) (A) as a result of any written Tax sharing or Tax allocation agreement in effect on or prior to the Closing Date, (B) as a transferee or successor, or otherwise under applicable Legal Requirements (which Taxes described in this clause (B) relate to an event or transaction occurring on or prior to the Closing Date), or (C) by reason of being a member, partner or similar owner of an equity interest in a partnership, limited liability company or other entity classified as a partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3 or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Legal Requirements;
(iii) the portion of any Transfer Taxes that are the responsibility of Sellers pursuant to Section 7.2(d); or
(iv) any breach of or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement relating to Taxes or Tax Returns.
(i) If a written claim is made by any Tax Authority that, if successful, would result in the indemnification of an Indemnified Taxpayer, the Indemnified Taxpayer shall promptly notify Seller Representative in writing of such fact; provided that any failure to give such notice will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Taxpayer except to the extent the rights of the indemnifying party are actually materially prejudiced.
(ii) Seller Representative shall have the right to defend against any claim under subsection (b)(i) at Sellers’ expense and with counsel of Seller Representative’s choice so long as (A) Buyer is kept reasonably informed of the status and progress of such claim and related proceedings, (B) Buyer and Bxxxx’s counsel are allowed to participate at Bxxxx’s expense in such claim and related proceedings, (C) Seller Representative’s counsel with respect to such claim is approved by Buyer in its reasonable discretion and Seller Representative conducts the defense of the claim actively and diligently, and (D) if the applicable Indemnified Taxpayer is requested to pay the Tax claimed and sue for a refund, and if so requested by Bxxxx, Sellers shall have advanced to such Indemnified Taxpayer, on an interest free basis, the full amount such Indemnified Taxpayer is requested to pay. If any of the conditions in clauses (A) through (D) above is or becomes unsatisfied, then (x) Buyer and the applicable Indemnified Taxpayer may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the claim in any manner it may deem appropriate (and neither Buyer nor any Indemnified Taxpayer need consult with, or obtain any consent from, Sellers or Seller Representative in connection therewith), (y) Sellers will reimburse Buyer and the Indemnified Taxpayer promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the claim (including reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and experts’ fees and disbursements) and (z) Sellers will remain responsible for any Damages Buyer or any other Indemnified Taxpayer may suffer to the fullest extent provided in this Section 7.2.
(iii) Seller Representative shall not be entitled to settle or to contest any claim relating to Taxes without the consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, if, in the good faith judgment of Buyer, the settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the claim would reasonably be expected to adversely affect any Indemnified Taxpayer.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the indemnification obligations of the Seller Parties under this Article VI shall survive the Closing until sixty (60) days following the end of the applicable statutes of limitations. With respect to any indemnification obligation for any Tax for which a Tax Authority asserts a claim within ninety (90) days before the end of the applicable statute of limitations, an Indemnified Taxpayer shall be treated as having provided timely notice to such Seller Party by providing written notice to Seller Representative on or before the ninetieth (90th) day after the Indemnified Taxpayer’s receipt of a written assertion of the claim by the Tax Authority.
(d) Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall divide evenly the financial responsibility for all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”), and Seller Representative will file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, and, if required by applicable Legal Requirements, Buyer will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.
Liability of Owner for Taxes If any tax or other governmental charge shall become payable by the Custodian or the Depositary with respect to or in connection with any American Depositary Shares or any Deposited Securities represented by any American Depositary Shares or in connection with a transaction to which Section 4.8 applies, that tax or other governmental charge shall be payable by the Owner of those American Depositary Shares to the Depositary. The Depositary may refuse to register any transfer of those American Depositary Shares or any withdrawal of Deposited Securities represented by those American Depositary Shares until that payment is made, and may withhold any dividends or other distributions or the proceeds thereof, or may sell for the account of the Owner any part or all of the Deposited Securities represented by those American Depositary Shares and apply those dividends or other distributions or the net proceeds of any sale of that kind in payment of that tax or other governmental charge but, even after a sale of that kind, the Owner of those American Depositary Shares shall remain liable for any deficiency. The Depositary shall distribute any net proceeds of a sale made under this Section that are not used to pay taxes or governmental charges to the Owners entitled to them in accordance with Section 4.1. If the number of Shares represented by each American Depositary Share decreases as a result of a sale of Deposited Securities under this Section, the Depositary may call for surrender of the American Depositary Shares to be exchanged on a mandatory basis for a lesser number of American Depositary Shares and may sell American Depositary Shares to the extent necessary to avoid distributing fractions of American Depositary Shares in that exchange and distribute the net proceeds of that sale to the Owners entitled to them.
Liability of Seller Seller shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations in this Agreement specifically undertaken by Seller and the representations and warranties of Seller.
Income Tax Liability Within ten (10) 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, or assess or propose the collection of Taxes required to have been withheld by, the Borrower which equal or exceed $100,000 in the aggregate, telephonic or facsimile notice (confirmed in writing within five (5) Business Days) specifying the nature of the items giving rise to such adjustments and the amounts thereof;
Grossing-up for taxes If the Borrower is required by law to make a tax deduction from any payment:
(a) the Borrower shall notify the Agent as soon as it becomes aware of the requirement;
(b) the Borrower shall pay the tax deducted to the appropriate taxation authority promptly, and in any event before any fine or penalty arises;
(c) the amount due in respect of the payment shall be increased by the amount necessary to ensure that each Creditor Party receives and retains (free from any liability relating to the tax deduction) a net amount which, after the tax deduction, is equal to the full amount which it would otherwise have received.
