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 Taxes (i) Seller shall be liable for and pay, and pursuant to ARTICLE XI shall indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer Group Member from and against any and all Losses and Expenses incurred by such Buyer Group Member in connection with or arising from (A) Taxes imposed on the Company or for which the Company may otherwise be liable as a result of having been a member of a Company Group (including Taxes for which the Company may be liable pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-6 or similar provisions of state, local or foreign law as a result of having been a member of a Company Group and any Taxes resulting from the ceasing to be a member of any Company Group) and (B) Taxes imposed on the Company or for which the Company may otherwise be liable for any taxable year or period that ends on or before the Closing Date and the portion of any Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax Period”), except, in each case, to the extent such Taxes were included on the Closing Date Balance Sheet and taken into account in determining the Adjusted Purchase Price.
(ii) For purposes of paragraph (a)(i), whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes of the Company for a Straddle Period, the determination of the Taxes of the Company for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date shall be determined by assuming that the Straddle Period consisted of two taxable years or periods, one which ended at the close of the Closing Date and the other which began at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date and items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit of the Company for the Straddle Period shall be allocated between such two taxable years or periods on a “closing of the books basis” by assuming that the books of the Company were closed at the close of the Closing Date, provided, however, that exemptions, allowances, deductions or Taxes that are calculated on an annual basis, such as property Taxes and depreciation deductions, shall be apportioned between such two taxable years or periods on a daily basis.
(iii) Seller shall be entitled to the amount of any refund or credit of Taxes of the Company (including any interest relating thereto) with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent such Taxes were paid by the Company prior to the Closing or by a Seller after the Closing pursuant to Section 8.2(a) or ARTICLE XI which refund or credit is actually recognized by Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Company) after the Closing, net of any cost to Buyer and its Affiliates attributable to the obtaining and receipt of such refund or credit, except to the extent such refund or credit arises as the result of a carryback of a loss or other tax benefit from a Tax period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date or such refund or credit was included on the Closing Date Balance Sheet and taken into account in determining the Adjusted Purchase Price. Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Seller any amount to which Seller is entitled pursuant to the prior sentence within fifteen (15) days of the receipt or recognition of the applicable refund or credit by Buyer or its Subsidiaries. To the extent requested by Seller, Buyer will reasonably cooperate with Seller in obtaining such refund or credit, including through the filing of amended Tax Returns for periods ending before or on the Closing Date or refund claims. To the extent such refund or credit is subsequently disallowed or required to be returned to the applicable Governmental Body, Seller agrees promptly to repay the amount of such refund or credit to Buyer. Buyer shall be entitled to any refund or credit with respect to Taxes (including any interest relating thereto) that results from the carryback of losses, credits or similar items from a taxable year or period that begins after the Closing Date and is attributable to the Company and, to the extent such refund is actually received by Seller or its Affiliates, any such refund or credit shall be paid by Seller to Buyer within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of such refund by Seller. Buyer shall be entitled to any refund or credit included on the Closing Date Balance Sheet and taken into account in determining the Adjusted Purchase Price. Buyer and Seller shall take reasonable steps as may be requested by the other Party to obtain any refund or credit to which such Party is entitled under this subparagraph (iii).
(iv) Buyer shall be liable for and pay, and pursuant to ARTICLE XI shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against any and all Losses incurred by Seller in connection with or arising from any real property transfer Tax, sales Tax, use Tax, stamp Tax, stock transfer Tax, or other similar Tax imposed on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
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.
