Tax Adjustment During each Lease Year commencing with the Lease -------------- Year 1998, Tenant shall pay, as Additional Charges, an amount (hereinafter referred to as the "TAX ADJUSTMENT AMOUNT") equal to Tenant's Share of the excess of Taxes for each such Lease Year over the amount of Taxes for the Base Year; except that Tenant shall be required to pay only a pro rata amount of the Tax Adjustment Amount for the Lease Year in which the last days of the Term occur, pro rated on a per diem basis. The Tax Adjustment Amount with respect to each Lease Year shall be paid in monthly installments in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month during such Lease Year, commencing January 1, 1998, in an amount estimated from time to time by Landlord and communicated by written notice to Tenant. As soon as practicable following the close of the 1998 and subsequent Lease Years, and receipt of actual tax bills, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement setting forth (a) the actual Tax Adjustment Amount for such Lease Year; (b) the total of the estimated monthly installments of the Tax Adjustment Amount paid to Landlord for such Lease Year; and (c) the amount of any excess or deficiency with respect to such Lease Year. Tenant shall pay any deficiency to Landlord as shown by such statement within thirty (30) days after receipt of such statement. If the total of the estimated monthly installments paid by Tenant during any Lease Year exceeds the actual Tax Adjustment Amount due from Tenant for such Lease Year, at Landlord's option such excess shall be either credited against payments next due hereunder or refunded by Landlord, provided Tenant is not then in default hereunder.
Estimated Tax Payments Not later than three (3) days prior to each Estimated Tax Installment Date with respect to a taxable period for which a Consolidated Return or a Combined Return will be filed, VMware shall pay to Dell Technologies on behalf of the VMware Group an amount equal to the amount of any estimated VMware Separate Tax Liability that VMware otherwise would have been required to pay to a Taxing Authority on such Estimated Tax Installment Date. If the VMware Separate Tax Liability for such taxable period is less than zero, then Dell Technologies shall pay to VMware an amount equal to the Tax Benefit that the Dell Technologies Group anticipates it will recognize for the entire year as a result of the VMware Separate Tax Liability being less than zero for such taxable period. Not later than seven (7) days prior to each such Estimated Tax Installment Date, Dell Technologies shall provide VMware with a written notice setting forth the amount payable by VMware in respect of such estimated VMware Separate Tax Liability and a calculation of such amount.
Tax Adjustments The Company may make such reductions in the Purchase Price, in addition to those required by Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.
Excise Tax Adjustment (a) If any payment or benefit Executive will or may receive from the Company or otherwise (a “280G Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this Section, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then any such 280G Payment provided pursuant to this Agreement (a “Payment”) shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment (after reduction) being subject to the Excise Tax, or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount (i.e., the amount determined by clause (x) or by clause (y)), after taking into account all applicable federal, state, and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater economic benefit notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in a Payment is required pursuant to the preceding sentence and the Reduced Amount is determined pursuant to clause (x) of the preceding sentence, the reduction shall occur in the manner (the “Reduction Method”) that results in the greatest economic benefit for Executive. If more than one method of reduction will result in the same economic benefit, the items so reduced will be reduced pro rata (the “Pro Rata Reduction Method”).
Adjustment Amount (a) As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, and in any event within 90 calendar days thereof, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller, Buyer’s calculation of (i) Closing Net Working Capital, (ii) Closing Indebtedness, (iii) Closing Transaction Expenses, (iv) Closing Cash, (v) Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount, and (vi) on the basis of the foregoing, a calculation of the Closing Purchase Price (together with the calculations referred to in clauses (i) through (v) above, the “Final Closing Statement”). The Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness and Closing Cash shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and the defined terms used in this Section 2.06(a); provided, however, that the Final Closing Statement (and any amounts included therein) shall not give effect to any act or omission by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries or the Company taken after the Reference Time or reflect any payments of cash in respect of the Purchase Price, or any financing transactions in connection therewith or reflect any expense or liability for which Buyer is responsible under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Section 2.04 nor this Section 2.06 is intended to be used to adjust the Closing Purchase Price for errors or omissions, under GAAP or otherwise, that may be found with respect to the Financial Statements or the Target Net Working Capital. No fact or event, including any market or business development, occurring after the Closing Date, and no change in GAAP or Applicable Law after the Balance Sheet Date, shall be taken into consideration in the calculations to be made pursuant to Section 2.04 or this Section 2.06. If Buyer fails to timely deliver the Final Closing Statement in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 2.06(a) within such 90-day period, then the Preliminary Closing Statement delivered by Seller to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.04 shall be deemed to be Buyer’s proposed Final Closing Statement, for all purposes hereunder, and Seller shall retain all of its rights under this Section 2.06 with respect thereto, including the right to dispute the calculations set forth therein in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.06.
Closing Adjustment Not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, Sellers shall provide Purchasers with a certificate signed by an officer of each of the Sellers attaching reasonable and good faith estimates (the “Closing Estimates”) of each of (i) the Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”), (ii) the Closing Cash Amount (the “Estimated Closing Cash Amount”); (iii) the Closing Date Indebtedness (the “Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness”); (iv) the Closing Date Transaction Fees (the “Estimated Closing Date Transaction Fees”); and (v) the Closing Adjustment (as defined below). Each of the Closing Estimates shall be determined in accordance with the Accounting Methodology. Purchasers shall be entitled to review, and propose reasonable changes to the Closing Estimates and Sellers shall provide Purchasers and their Representatives with reasonable access, at reasonable times following prior notice, to the officers, employees, agreements and books and records of the Transferred Entities to verify the accuracy of such amounts. The Sellers shall consider the Purchasers’ proposed changes in good faith. If the Parties are unable to reach agreement on any proposed changes, the Closing Estimates (and the components thereof) as proposed by the Sellers shall control solely for purposes of payments to be made at Closing and shall not limit or otherwise effect the Purchasers’ remedies under this Agreement or otherwise constitute an acknowledgment by Purchasers of the accuracy of the Closing Estimates. The “Closing Adjustment” shall equal (i) the Estimated Closing Working Capital, plus (ii) the Estimated Closing Cash Amount, less (iii) the Target Working Capital, less (iv) the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness, and (v) less the Estimated Closing Date Transaction Fees.
Post-Closing Adjustment (i) Within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Closing Statement”) that shall set forth in reasonable detail Seller’s calculation of the net amount of all adjustments to the Base Purchase Price required by Section 2.6(a) taking into account actual data (the “Purchase Price Adjustment”), together with reasonable supporting material regarding the computation thereof. Buyer shall have thirty (30) days to review the Closing Statement following receipt thereof. On or before the end of such 30-day review period, Buyer may object to the Closing Statement by written notice to Seller (the “Objection Notice”), setting forth Buyer’s specific objections to the calculation of the Purchase Price Adjustment. Such Objection Notice shall specify those items or amounts with which Buyer disagrees, together with a detailed written explanation of the reasons for disagreement with each such item or amount (and reasonable supporting material therefor), and shall set forth Buyer’s calculation of the Purchase Price Adjustment based on such objections. To the extent not set forth in a timely-delivered Objection Notice, Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed with Seller’s calculation of all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement and neither party may thereafter dispute any item or amount not set forth in such Objection Notice. If Buyer does not timely deliver any Objection Notice, Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed with and accepted Seller’s calculation of the Purchase Price Adjustment, and the Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties as of the end of Buyer’s 30-day review period.
Straddle Period Tax Allocation The Company and the Subsidiaries will, unless prohibited by applicable Law, close each of their applicable taxable periods as of the close of business on the Closing Date. If applicable Law does not permit the Company and the Subsidiaries to close any of its taxable years on the Closing Date or in any case in which a Tax is assessed with respect to a taxable period which includes the Closing Date (but does not begin or end on that day) (a “Straddle Period”), the Taxes, if any, attributable to a Straddle Period shall be allocated (i) to Sellers for the period up to and including the close of business on the Closing Date, and (ii) to Buyer for the period subsequent to the Closing Date. Any allocation of income or deductions required to determine any Taxes attributable to a Straddle Period shall be made by means of a deemed closing of the books and records of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the close of the Closing Date; provided, that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, property or ad valorem taxes attributable to a Straddle Period shall be allocated to the period ending on the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period.
Payments of Post-Closing Adjustment Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment, together with interest calculated as set forth below, shall (A) be due (x) within five (5) Business Days of acceptance of the applicable Closing Working Capital Statement or (y) if there are Disputed Amounts, then within five (5) Business Days of the resolution described in clause (v) above; and (B) be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account(s) as is directed by Buyer or Sellers, as the case may be.
Post-Closing Adjustments As soon as practicable after the Closing, but in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days thereafter, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a final settlement statement (the “Final Settlement Statement”) setting forth each adjustment or payment that was not finally determined as of the Closing and showing the calculation of such adjustments and the resulting Final Purchase Price. Seller shall make its workpapers and other information available to Purchaser to review in order to confirm the adjustments shown on Seller’s draft. As soon as practicable after receipt of the Final Settlement Statement, but in no event later than sixty (60) days thereafter, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a written report containing any changes that Purchaser proposes to make to the Final Settlement Statement. Any failure by Purchaser to deliver to Seller the written report detailing Purchaser’s proposed changes to the Final Settlement Statement within sixty (60) days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Final Settlement Statement shall be deemed an acceptance by Purchaser of the Final Settlement Statement as submitted by Seller. The parties shall agree with respect to the changes proposed by Purchaser, if any, no later than sixty (60) days after Seller receives from Purchaser the written report described above containing Purchaser’s proposed changes. If the Purchaser and the Seller cannot then agree upon the Final Settlement Statement, the determination of the amount of the Final Settlement Statement shall be submitted to a mutually agreed firm of independent public accountants (the “Accounting Firm”). The determination by the Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto and shall be enforceable against any party hereto in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any costs and expenses incurred by the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall be borne by the Seller and the Purchaser equally. The date upon which such agreement is reached or upon which the Final Purchase Price is established, shall be herein called the “Final Settlement Date.” In the event
