Post-Closing Tax Matters As a result of the Closing, the Transferor Partnership shall terminate for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code and its tax year shall close on the Closing Date. The Transferor Agent shall prepare and timely file any federal, state, local and foreign tax or information returns due after Closing that are required to be filed by or on behalf of the Transferor Partnership with respect to all tax years or periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date. The Transferor Agent shall prepare and timely file the terminating tax returns for the Transferor Partnership resulting from the consummation of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, provided, however, that such tax returns shall be prepared in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and provided further, that prior to the filing thereof the Transferor Agent shall submit the terminating tax returns to the BRI Partnership for its review and approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The BRI Partnership shall assist the Transferor Agent in obtaining such data and information regarding the Transferor Agent to permit the Transferor Partnership to prepare such returns or to respond to any audits or assessments for the periods covered by such returns.
Pre-Closing Tax Returns From and after the Closing, Peabody shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax returns required to be filed by the Peabody Transferred Subsidiaries or, other than Tax returns related to Income Taxes, with respect to the Peabody Contributed Assets for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (the “Peabody Prepared Returns”), and Arch shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax returns required to be filed by the Arch Transferred Subsidiaries or, other than Tax returns related to Income Taxes, with respect to the Arch Contributed Assets for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (the “Arch Prepared Returns”). Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, each of Peabody and Arch shall prepare such Tax returns in accordance with past practice. Peabody and Arch shall each deliver to the JV Company all Peabody Prepared Returns and Arch Prepared Returns, together with all supporting documentation, no later than ten days prior to the due date for filing such Tax return, and, if any Peabody Prepared Return or any Arch Prepared Return would reasonably be expected to result in or otherwise affect material Taxes of any JV Entity in any Post-Closing Taxable Period, Peabody or Arch, as the case may be, shall also deliver such Tax return, together with all supporting documentation to Arch or Peabody, as the case may be, no later than ten days prior to the due date for filing such Tax return, for review and reasonable comment by the JV Company and Arch or Peabody, as the case may be, and the party filing such Tax return shall incorporate any reasonable comments received no later than five days prior to the due date for filing such Tax return. Peabody and Arch shall use commercially reasonable efforts to determine which of Peabody, Arch or the JV Company shall file such Tax return. If after complying with the immediately preceding sentence in good faith, Peabody and Arch are unable to agree on which of Peabody, Arch or the JV Company is responsible for filing such Tax return, then the JV Company shall be responsible for filing such Tax return. If the JV Company files any Tax return pursuant to this Section 6.21(a)(i) and if such Tax return shows Taxes as due and owing, Peabody or Arch, as applicable, shall pay the amount of Contributor Taxes with respect to such Tax return to the JV Company no later than the due date for filing such Tax return and the JV Company shall remit such Taxes to the applicable Governmental Authority. If either Peabody or Arch files any Tax return pursuant to this Section 6.21(a)(i), such Tax return shows Taxes as due and owing, and such Taxes were specifically included in Peabody Net Working Capital or Arch Net Working Capital, as the case may be, as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.5(c), then the JV Company shall pay the amount of such identified Taxes to Peabody or Arch no later than the due date for filing such Tax return and Peabody or Arch, as the case may be, shall remit such Taxes to the applicable Governmental Authority.
Post-Closing Payments (a) Should Grantor receive any amount arising from, or attributed to, the Grantor Interest (including without limitation amounts related to a Settlement Request) then Grantor shall promptly deliver to Participant an amount equal to such amount less:
(i) any taxes, duties or other amounts required to be paid or withheld by Grantor with respect to those amounts (including without limitation any stamp duty or tax payable with respect to the sale, transfer or other disposition of such securities or other cash or non-cash distributions and any other fees or expenses (including legal fees) paid, payable, reimbursed or reimbursable by Grantor or Administrator in connection with the sale, transfer or other disposition of such securities or other cash or non-cash distributions); and
(ii) any amounts owed by Participant to Grantor or Administrator as of the relevant time ((i) and (ii) together, the “Fees and Expenses”), to Participant pursuant to the wire instructions provided by Participant (which instructions must be with respect to a bank account opened in the name of Participant and must be provided at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of wiring).
(b) Upon receipt by Grantor of any securities or any other non-cash distributions with respect to the Grantor Interest (including the receipt of ADSs pursuant to a Settlement Request):
(i) in the case of ADSs received pursuant to a Cash Settlement Request or an ADS Settlement Request where Grantor has elected pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii) to fulfill such ADS Settlement Request in cash, Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell such ADSs to any person whatsoever at Participant’s expense, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(b) and distribute the resulting cash to Participant in accordance with Section 6(a);
(ii) in the case of ADSs received pursuant to an ADS Settlement Request other than cases in which Grantor has elected pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii) to fulfill such ADS Settlement Request in cash (or where any Settlement Request cannot be fulfilled in cash), Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer such ADSs (net of the In-Kind Fees and Expenses) to Participant at Participant’s expense, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(b). “In-Kind Fees and Expenses” means such portion of securities or any other non-cash distributions received by Grantor with respect to the Grantor Interest the value of which is equal to the Fees and Expenses due as of the relevant date. In the case of ADSs, the value of such ADSs shall be calculated by Administrator based on the VWAP Price and in the case of other securities or other non-cash distributions, shall be calculated by Administrator on such basis as it reasonably determines. “VWAP Price” means the value obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate turnover of trading in the ADSs during the five (5) Trading Days immediately before the date Grantor receives the relevant distribution (the “VWAP Period”) by (B) the aggregate trading volume of the ADSs during the VWAP Period provided that if the VWAP Price cannot be calculated in accordance with the preceding formula the VWAP Price shall be determined by Administrator on such basis as it reasonably determines. “Trading Day” means any day on which the ADSs are traded on The NASDAQ Global Market.
Post-Closing Actions Each Borrower agrees that it will, or will cause its relevant Subsidiaries to, complete each of the actions described on Schedule 9.13 as soon as commercially reasonable and by no later than the date set forth in Schedule 9.13 with respect to such action or such later date as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree.
Excise Tax Payments (a) If any payment or benefit (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) to the Executive or for his benefit paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise in connection with, or arising out of, his employment with the Company or a change in ownership or effective control of the Company or of a substantial portion of its assets (each a “Payment” and collectively, the “Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then the Executive will be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”), such that the net amount retained by the Executive, after deduction and/or payment of any Excise Tax on the Payments and the Gross-Up Payment and any federal, state and local income tax on the Gross-Up Payment (including any interest or penalties, other than interest and penalties imposed by reason of the Executive’s failure to file timely a tax return or pay taxes shown due on his return, imposed with respect to such taxes), shall be equal to the Payments.
(b) An initial determination as to whether a Gross-Up Payment is required pursuant to this Agreement and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment shall be made at the Company’s expense by an accounting firm selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Executive which is designated as one of the four largest accounting firms in the United States (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall provide its determination (the “Determination”), together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation to the Company and the Executive within five days of the Termination Date if applicable, or such other time as requested by the Executive (provided the Executive reasonably believes that any of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax) and if the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive as provided in Section 5(a) above, it shall furnish the Executive with an opinion reasonably acceptable to the Executive to such effect. Within ten days of the delivery of the Determination to the Executive, the Executive shall have the right to dispute the Determination (the “Dispute”). The Gross-Up Payment, if any, as determined pursuant to this Paragraph 5(b) shall be paid by the Company to the Executive within five days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s determination. The existence of the Dispute shall not in any way affect the Executive’s right to receive the Gross-Up Payment in accordance with the Determination. Upon the final resolution of a Dispute, the Company shall promptly pay to the Executive any additional amount required by such resolution. If there is no Dispute, the Determination shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the Company and the Executive subject to the application of Section 5(c) below.
(c) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Sections 4999 and 280G of the Code, it is possible that a Gross-Up Payment (or a portion thereof) will be paid which should not have been paid (an “Excess Payment”) or a Gross-Up Payment (or a portion thereof) which should have been paid will not have been paid (an “Underpayment”). An Underpayment shall be deemed to have occurred (i) upon notice (formal or informal) to the Executive from any governmental taxing authority that the Executive’s tax liability (whether in respect of the Executive’s current taxable year or in respect of any prior taxable year) may be increased by reason of the imposition of the Excise Tax on a Payment or Payments with respect to which the Company has failed to make a sufficient Gross-Up Payment, (ii) upon a determination by a court, (iii) by reason of a determination by the Company (which shall include the position taken by the Company, together with its consolidated group, on its federal income tax return) or (iv) upon the resolution of the Dispute to the Executive’s satisfaction. If an Underpayment occurs, the Executive shall promptly notify the Company and the Company shall promptly, but in any event, at least five days prior to the date on which the applicable government taxing authority has requested payment, pay to the Executive an additional Gross-Up Payment equal to the amount of the Underpayment plus any interest and penalties (other than interest and penalties imposed by reason of the Executive’s failure to file timely a tax return or pay taxes shown due on the Executive’s return) imposed on the Underpayment. An Excess Payment shall be deemed to have occurred upon a Final Determination (as hereinafter defined) that the Excise Tax shall not be imposed upon a Payment or Payments (or portion thereof) with respect to which the Executive had previously received a Gross-Up Payment. A “Final Determination” shall be deemed to have occurred when the Executive has received from the applicable government taxing authority a refund of taxes or other reduction in the Executive’s tax liability by reason of the Excess Payment and upon either (x) the date a determination is made by, or an agreement is entered into with, the applicable governmental taxing authority which finally and conclusively binds the Executive and such taxing authority, or if a claim is brought before a court of competent jurisdiction, the date upon which a final determination has been made by such court and either all appeals have been taken and finally resolved or the time for all appeals has expired or (y) the statute of limitations with respect to the Executive’s applicable tax return has expired. If an Excess Payment is determined to have been made, the amount of the Excess Payment shall be treated as a loan by the Company to the Executive and the Executive shall pay to the Company on demand (but not less than 10 days after the determination of such Excess Payment and written notice has been delivered to the Executive) the amount of the Excess Payment plus interest at an annual rate equal to the Applicable Federal Rate provided for in Section 1274(d) of the Code from the date the Gross-Up Payment (to which the Excess Payment relates) was paid to the Executive until the date of repayment to the Company.
Post-Closing Matters Execute and deliver the documents and complete the tasks set forth on Schedule 6.14, in each case within the time limits specified on such schedule, as such time limits may be extended from time to time by Agent in its reasonable discretion.
Tax Payments Each Company shall be liable for and shall pay the Taxes allocated to it by this Section 2 either to the applicable Tax Authority or to the other Company in accordance with Section 4 and the other applicable provisions of this Agreement.
Excise Tax Payment (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and except as set forth below, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company or the Bank to or for the benefit of Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Section 4) (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, and taking account of any withholding obligation on the part of the Bank, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.
(b) All determinations required to be made under this Section 4, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be used in arriving at such determination, shall be made by the Company’s regular certified public accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and Executive within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Company shall appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company.
(c) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made (“Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event of an Underpayment, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Bank to or for the benefit of Executive.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4, any Gross-Up Payment or Underpayment shall be paid in a single lump sum payment at a time which will enable timely payment of any excise tax due by the Executive, but in no event later than December 31 of the year following the year (A) any excise tax is paid to the Internal Revenue Service regarding this Section 4 or (B) any tax audit or litigation brought by the Internal Revenue Service or other relevant taxing authority related to this Section 4 is completed or resolved.
Post-Closing (i) Following the Closing Date, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Acquired Companies to, allow Seller, upon one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice and during normal business hours, through its affiliates, employees and representatives, (x) the right to examine and make copies, at Seller’s expense, of the books and records of the Acquired Companies, and (y) reasonable access to Buyer’s and the Acquired Companies’ employees, in the case of either clause (x) or (y), for the preparation and review of the June Financial Statements and any other action or inquiry related to the procedures set forth in Section 1.4, regulatory and statutory filings, earnings releases, statistical supplements, financial statements (including, but not limited to, the timely preparation pursuant to Seller’s then-current schedule and filing of Seller’s current, quarterly and annual reports on Forms 8-K, 10-Q and 10-K for any post-closing period) and the conduct of any third-party litigation. Parent and Buyer shall cause their, and the Acquired Companies’, affiliates, employees and representatives to (A) reasonably cooperate with Seller in connection with the foregoing and (B) under the supervision of Seller, prepare the June Financial Statements, to the extent not yet prepared and finalized as of the Closing Date, in the ordinary course of the performance of their responsibilities. Buyer shall, and shall cause the Acquired Companies to, maintain the books and records of the Acquired Companies for examination and copying by Seller for a period of not less than six (6) years following the Closing Date or any longer period as mandated by applicable Law, after which, Buyer or the Acquired Companies may destroy such records in their sole discretion. Access to such records shall not unreasonably interfere with the business operations of Buyer, any Acquired Company or any of their respective successors.
(ii) Following the Closing Date, Seller shall allow Buyer, upon one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice and during normal business hours, through its affiliates, employees and representatives, the right to (x) examine and make copies, at Buyer’s expense, of the books and records of Seller retained by Seller and maintained by Seller after the Closing Date; but only to the extent that such books and records relate to the Acquired Companies; and (y) reasonable access to any of Seller’s employees, in the case of either clause (x) or (y), for the review of the June Financial Statements, and any other action or inquiry related to the procedures set forth in Section 1.4, regulatory and statutory filings, earnings releases, statistical supplements, financial statements and the conduct of any third-party litigation. Seller shall cause its affiliates, employees and representatives to reasonably cooperate with Parent and Buyer in connection with the foregoing. Seller shall maintain such books and records for examination and copying by Buyer for a period of not less than six (6) years following the Closing Date or any longer period as mandated by applicable Law, after which, Seller may destroy such records in its sole discretion. Access to such records shall not unreasonably interfere with the business operations of Seller or any of its successors.
Tax Payment In the event it shall be determined that any ----------- payment (other than the payment provided for in this Section 10(a)) or ----- distribution of any type to or for the benefit of the Executive, by the Company, any Affiliate of the Company, any Person who acquires ownership or effective control of the Company or ownership of a substantial portion of the Company's assets (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the regulations thereunder) or any Affiliate of such Person, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (the "Total Payments"), is or will be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then the Executive shall be entitled to receive a payment in an amount equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Total Payments; provided, however that the Total -------- ------- Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) if and to the extent that a reduction in the Total Payments would result in the Executive retaining a larger amount, on an after-tax basis (taking into account federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax) than if the Executive received the entire amount of such Total Payments and the amount equal to the Excise Tax. Unless the Executive shall have given prior written notice specifying a different order to the Company to effectuate the foregoing, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the Total Payments by first reducing or eliminating the portion of the Total Payments which are not payable in cash and then by reducing or eliminating cash payments, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid the farthest in time from the Determination (as hereinafter defined). Any notice given by the Executive pursuant to the preceding sentence shall take precedence over the provisions of any other plan, arrangement or agreement governing the Executive's rights and entitlements to any benefits or compensation.
