Tax Refunds (a) Seller shall be entitled to the amount of any Income Tax refunds (or any Tax credits received in lieu thereof to the extent such credit in lieu thereof actually reduces Taxes for a Post-Closing Tax Period) that are actually received by Buyer, any Group Company, any of their respective Affiliates, or a consolidated, combined, unitary, or similar group of which any Group Company is a member after the Closing, in each case, for any Pre-Closing Tax Period ending on the Closing Date or the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date (determined in accordance with Section 8.6.4), including any such Tax refunds resulting from any Transaction Tax Deductions, and net of any Taxes and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such Tax refunds (or credits in lieu thereof), in each case, to the extent such Tax refund (or credit in lieu thereof) is with respect to Taxes paid by a Group Company prior to the Closing Date or included in the final calculation of the Closing Statement (any such Income Tax refund or credit in lieu thereof, a “Tax Refund”); provided, however, that Seller shall not be entitled to any Tax Refund (x) required to be paid over by any Group Company (or any Affiliate thereof) to any Person under a provision of a Contract (other than this Agreement) to which such Person was a party prior to the Closing, (y) resulting from the payment of Income Taxes by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including any Group Company) made after the Closing Date to the extent such Income Taxes were not included in the final calculation of the Closing Statement, and (z) resulting from a carryback of a Tax attribute from any period ending after the Closing Date.
(b) Buyer shall promptly pay, or cause to be paid, over to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds any Tax Refunds that Seller is entitled to pursuant to this Section 8.6.1 within ten (10) Business Days of the actual receipt of the Tax Refund giving rise to Buyer’s obligation to make a payment pursuant to Section 8.6.1 with respect thereto (or, in the case of a credit in lieu of a refund, the Due Date for the filing of a Tax Return that reflects the actual reduction in Taxes resulting from such credit).
(c) The Group Companies shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain (or cause to be obtained) any reasonably available Tax Refunds with respect to any applicable Pre-Closing Period Income Tax Return by filing, or causing to file, any such Tax Returns as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, in each case, as finally resolved pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.6.2; provided, however, that the Group Companies shall not be required to file IRS Form 4466 (or any comparable form for state or local Tax purposes). The Group Companies shall not elect to apply any applicable Tax Refund as a credit against Taxes payable for a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date.
(d) For applicable Tax purposes, Buyer, Seller and each of their respective Affiliates shall treat all payments to Seller made pursuant to this Section 8.6.1 as an adjustment to purchase price to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.
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.

(c) Parent will issue to Seller, or, to the extent designated by Seller in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date and in accordance with Section 3.11, to the Members in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages, a number of shares of unregistered common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”) equal to 85.00% of the Stock Value divided by the Per Parent Share Price (the “Closing Stock Payment”);

(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.

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.
Refunds If Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes to which the Loan Parties have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 16, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, it shall pay over such refund to the Administrative Borrower on behalf of the Loan Parties (but only to the extent of payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Loan Parties under this Section 16 with respect to Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such a refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the applicable Governmental Authority with respect to such a refund); provided, that the Loan Parties, upon the request of Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Parties (plus any penalties, interest or other charges, imposed by the applicable Governmental Authority, other than such penalties, interest or other charges imposed as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Agent or Lender hereunder as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) to Agent or such Lender in the event Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 16 shall not be construed to require Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information which it deems confidential) to Loan Parties or any other Person or require Agent or any Lender to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to Section 16.4, the payment of which would place Agent or such Lender (or their Affiliates) in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Person would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.
Tax Benefit Payments Section 3.1 Payments 12 Section 3.2 No Duplicative Payments 13
Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the Closing Date The Company or the Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Returns of the Company for Tax periods that begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date. To the extent such Taxes are not fully reserved for in the Company’s financial statements, the Sellers shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the unreserved portion of such Taxes that relates to the portion of the Tax period ending on the Closing Date. Such payment, if any, shall be paid by the Sellers within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice from the Company or the Purchaser that such Taxes were paid by the Company or the Purchaser for a period beginning prior to the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax that relates to the portion of such Tax period ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period (the “Pro Rata Amount”), and (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date. The Sellers shall pay to the Company with the payment of any taxes due hereunder, the Sellers’ Pro Rata Amount of the costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser or the Company in the preparation and filing of the Tax Returns. Any net operating losses or credits relating to a Tax period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be taken into account as though the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a reasonable manner as agreed to by the parties.
