Impositions Subject to Article VIII relating to permitted contests, Tenant shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions before any fine, penalty, interest or cost (other than any opportunity cost as a result of a failure to take advantage of any discount for early payment) may be added for non-payment, such payments to be made directly to the taxing authorities where feasible, and shall promptly, upon request, furnish to Landlord copies of official receipts or other reasonably satisfactory proof evidencing such payments. If any such Imposition may, at the option of the taxpayer, lawfully be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition), Tenant may exercise the option to pay the same (and any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition) in installments and, in such event, shall pay such installments during the Term as the same become due and before any fine, penalty, premium, further interest or cost may be added thereto. Landlord, at its expense, shall, to the extent required or permitted by Applicable Law, prepare and file all tax returns and pay all taxes due in respect of Landlord's net income, gross receipts, sales and use, single business, ad valorem, franchise taxes and taxes on its capital stock, and Tenant, at its expense, shall, to the extent required or permitted by Applicable Laws, prepare and file all other tax returns and reports in respect of any Imposition as may be required by Government Agencies. If any refund shall be due from any taxing authority in respect of any Imposition paid by Tenant, the same shall be paid over to or retained by Tenant. Landlord and Tenant shall, upon request of the other, provide such data as is maintained by the party to whom the request is made with respect to the Leased Property as may be necessary to prepare any required returns and reports. In the event Government Agencies classify any property covered by this Agreement as personal property, Tenant shall file all personal property tax returns in such jurisdictions where it may legally so file. Each party shall, to the extent it possesses the same, provide the other, upon request, with cost and depreciation records necessary for filing returns for any property so classified as personal property. Where Landlord is legally required to file personal property tax returns for property covered by this Agreement and/or gross receipts tax returns for Rent received by Landlord from Tenant, Landlord shall file the same with reasonable cooperation from Tenant. Landlord shall provide Tenant with copies of assessment notices in sufficient time for Tenant to prepare a protest which Landlord shall file, at Tenant's written request. All Impositions assessed against such personal property shall be (irrespective of whether Landlord or Tenant shall file the relevant return) paid by Tenant not later than the last date on which the same may be made without interest or penalty. Landlord shall give prompt Notice to Tenant of all Impositions payable by Tenant hereunder of which Landlord at any time has knowledge; provided, however, that Landlord's failure to give any such Notice shall in no way diminish Tenant's obligation hereunder to pay such Impositions (except that Landlord shall be responsible for any interest or penalties incurred as a result of Landlord's failure promptly to forward the same).
Taxes and Impositions (A) Borrower shall (i) pay and discharge all Impositions prior to delinquency, and (ii) provide Lender validated receipts or such other evidence satisfactory to Lender showing the payment of such Impositions within thirty (30) days after the same would have otherwise become delinquent. Borrower’s obligation to pay the Impositions pursuant to this Agreement shall include, to the extent permitted by applicable law, taxes resulting from future changes in law which impose upon Lender an obligation to pay any property taxes or other Impositions. Should Borrower default on any payment of any Impositions, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) pay such Impositions or any portion thereof and Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for all such payment(s). (B) Borrower shall not be required to pay, discharge or remove any Imposition so long as Borrower contests in good faith such Impositions or the validity, applicability or amount thereof by an appropriate legal proceeding which operates to prevent the collection of such amounts and the sale of the Mortgaged Premises, or any portion thereof; provided, however, that prior to the date on which such Imposition would otherwise have become delinquent, Borrower shall have (i) given Lender prior written notice of such contest and (ii) deposited with Lender, and shall deposit such additional amounts as are necessary to keep on deposit at all times, in an amount equal to at least one hundred percent (100%) of the total of (A) the balance of such Imposition then remaining unpaid, and (B) all interest, penalties, costs and charges accrued or accumulated thereon. Lender shall keep said deposited amounts in an interest bearing, aggregated account (the “Account”) for the Borrower and shall pay out interest at least annually thereon. Any such contest shall be prosecuted with due diligence, and Borrower shall promptly pay from the Account, the amount of such Imposition as finally determined, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. Lender shall have full power and authority to apply any amount deposited with Lender pursuant to this clause to the payment of any unpaid Imposition to prevent the sale or forfeiture of the Mortgaged Premises or any portion thereof for non-payment thereof. Lender shall have no liability, however, for failure to so apply any amount deposited. Any surplus retained by Lender after payment of the Imposition for which a deposit was made, shall be repaid to Borrower unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case said surplus may be retained by Lender to be applied to the obligations in the sole discretion of the Lender. Notwithstanding any provisions of this clause to the contrary, Borrower shall pay any Imposition which it might otherwise be entitled to contest if, in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender, the Mortgaged Premises, or any portion thereof or any Collateral, is in jeopardy or in danger of being forfeited or foreclosed. If Borrower refuses to pay any such Imposition, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment and Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for all such advances.
Payment of Impositions Subject to Section 12.2 (relating to permitted contests), Lessee will pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions (other than Real Estate Taxes and Personal Property Taxes, which shall be paid by Lessor) before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added for non-payment, such payments to be made directly to the taxing or other authorities where feasible, and will promptly furnish to Lessor copies of official receipts or other satisfactory proof evidencing such payments. Lessee’s obligation to pay such Impositions shall be deemed absolutely fixed upon the date such Impositions become a lien upon the Leased Property or any part thereof. If any such Imposition may, at the option of the taxpayer, lawfully be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition), Lessee may exercise the option to pay the same (and any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition) in installments and in such event, shall pay such installments during the Term hereof (subject to Lessee’s right of contest pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.2) as the same respectively become due and before any fine, penalty, premium, further interest or cost may be added thereto. Lessor, at its expense, shall, to the extent required or permitted by applicable law, prepare and file all tax returns in respect of Lessor’s net income, gross receipts, sales and use, single business, transaction privilege, rent, ad valorem, franchise taxes, Real Estate Taxes, Personal Property Taxes and taxes on its capital stock, and Lessee, at its expense, shall, to the extent required or permitted by applicable laws and regulations, prepare and file all other tax returns and reports in respect of any Imposition as may be required by governmental authorities. If any refund shall be due from any taxing authority in respect of any Imposition paid by Lessee, the same shall be paid over to or retained by Lessee if no Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any such refund shall be paid over to or retained by Lessor. Any such funds retained by Lessor due to an Event of Default shall be applied as provided in Article 16. Lessor and Lessee shall, upon request of the other, provide such data as is maintained by the party to whom the request is made with respect to the Leased Property as may be necessary to prepare any required returns and reports. Lessee shall file all Personal Property Tax returns in such jurisdictions where it is legally required so to file. Lessor, to the extent it possesses the same, and Lessee, to the extent it possesses the same, will provide the other party, upon request, with cost and depreciation records necessary for filing returns for any property classified as personal property. Where Lessor is legally required to file Personal Property Tax returns, Lessee shall provide Lessor with copies of assessment notices in sufficient time for Lessor to file a protest. Lessor may, upon Notice to Lessee, at Lessor’s option and at Lessor’s sole expense, protest, appeal, or institute such other proceedings (in its or Lessee’s name) as Lessor may deem appropriate to effect a reduction of real estate or personal property assessments for those Impositions to be paid by Lessor, and Lessee, at Lessor’s expense as aforesaid, shall fully cooperate with Lessor in such protest, appeal, or other action. Lessor hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lessee from and against any claims, obligations, liabilities and loss against or incurred by Lessee in connection with such cooperation. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for reimbursement of Personal Property Taxes by Lessee to Lessor shall be accompanied by copies of a ▇▇▇▇ therefor and payments thereof which identify the personal property with respect to which such payments are made. Lessor, however, reserves the right to effect any such protest, appeal or other action and, upon Notice to Lessee, shall control any such activity, which shall then go forward at Lessor’s sole expense. Upon such Notice, Lessee, at Lessor’s expense, shall cooperate fully with such activities.
Notice of Impositions Lessor shall give prompt Notice to Lessee of all Impositions payable by Lessee hereunder of which Lessor at any time has knowledge, provided that Lessor’s failure to give any such Notice shall in no way diminish Lessee’s obligations hereunder to pay such Impositions, but such failure shall obviate any default hereunder for a reasonable time after Lessee receives Notice of any Imposition which it is obligated to pay during the first taxing period applicable thereto.
Adjustment of Impositions Impositions imposed in respect of the tax-fiscal period during which the Term terminates shall be adjusted and prorated between Lessor and Lessee, whether or not such Imposition is imposed before or after such termination, and Lessee’s obligation to pay its prorated share thereof after termination shall survive such termination.
