Refunds and Tax Benefits Except to the extent included as a current asset or contra-liability in the calculation of Closing Date Working Capital as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.6 or arising from the carryback of any loss generated by any Company in any Tax period beginning after the Closing Date and that portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date, any Tax refunds that are received by Acquiror or the Companies, and any credits in lieu of cash refunds to which Acquiror or the Companies become entitled, in each case, that relate to Taxes of the Companies with respect to Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date and including any interest paid thereon (collectively, “Seller Tax Refunds”) shall be for the account of Sellers and their Affiliates (other than the Companies). Acquiror shall promptly notify Sellers in writing of any Seller Tax Refunds received by or payable to the Companies after the Closing. Acquiror shall pay over to Sellers any such Seller Tax Refund, net of (1) any reasonable out-of-pocket costs associated in obtaining such amounts, (2) any Tax required to be withheld on such payment, and (3) any applicable Taxes imposed on Acquiror as a result of the receipt of such Seller Tax Refund, within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof. Acquiror shall cooperate, and cause the Companies to cooperate, as is reasonably requested by Sellers, in obtaining any Seller Tax Refund that Sellers reasonably believe should be available, including without limitation, through filing appropriate forms with the applicable Governmental Authority, provided that Seller shall bear the costs thereof. If there is a subsequent reduction by a Governmental Authority (or by virtue of a change in applicable Tax law), of any amounts with respect to which a payment has been made to Sellers by Acquiror pursuant to this Section 7.2(d), then Sellers shall pay Acquiror the amount that has been reduced (net of (x) any Tax required to be withheld on such payment and (y) any reduction in the applicable Taxes imposed on Acquiror as a result of the initial receipt of the relevant Seller Tax Refund) plus any interest or penalties imposed by a Governmental Authority with respect to such reduced amount, except for interest and penalties that are attributable to, and would not have arisen but for the unreasonable delay by Acquiror or any of its Affiliates (including the Companies) to comply with any applicable requirements. Except to the extent included as a current asset or contra-liability in the calculation of Closing Date Working Capital as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.6, Acquiror shall, in respect of any time or period falling on or prior to the Closing Date (including, without limitation, any overlapping period as defined in Section 142 of CTA 2010), make, give or enter into, or cause the Companies to make, give or enter into, any claims, elections, surrenders, notices, consents or filings (in each case, without payment) (whether unconditional or conditional, whether or not forming part of any other Tax Return, whether provisional or final, and including amendments to or withdrawals of earlier claims, elections, surrenders, notices or consents, whether or not made before or after the Closing) as Sellers may direct in connection with a Surrender.
Tax Benefits any benefits with respect to Taxes which are actually and currently realized by any Tax Indemnitee, which are attributable solely to the incurrence or payment by such Tax Indemnitee of any indemnified Losses or Taxes or an event giving rise to such Losses or Taxes; provided, that for the purpose of calculating such Tax Benefit, such Tax Indemnitee shall be deemed to utilize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit, including those that arise outside the scope of this Agreement, before utilizing any item arising from the incurrence or payment of any indemnified Loss or Tax. A Tax Indemnitee shall be deemed to have actually and currently realized and utilized a Tax Benefit to the extent that, and at such time as, the amount of Taxes payable by the Tax Indemnitee is actually reduced below the amount of Taxes such Tax Indemnitee would be required to pay but for the incurrence or payment of such Loss or Taxes, computed in accordance with the ordering rules set forth above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (a), in calculating any Tax Benefit, a Tax Indemnitee, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or by contract, shall determine when Tax Benefits are utilized in a manner which is non-discriminatory with respect to all other Similar Loans, it being understood that if, after taking into account all tax items of such Tax Indemnitee other than from this Loan and Similar Loans, such Tax Indemnitee has the capacity to use some or all of the Tax Benefits and some or all of the tax benefits generated by Similar Loans, it cannot rely upon a provision in such Similar Loan that requires the tax benefits from such Similar Loans to be applied last to avoid applying the tax benefits under those Similar Loans and, based on this non-discriminatory provision, also the Tax Benefits from this Loan in calculating the indemnities due under the respective loan. For purposes of this provision, “Similar Loans” means loans (i) in which the Tax Indemnitee or any affiliate thereof is a participant and with respect to which such Tax Indemnitee or affiliate is entitled to indemnification with respect to Taxes, and (ii) in which the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower with a similar or lesser credit as the Borrower.
Tax Benefit If, as the result of any Taxes paid or indemnified against by the Facility Lessee under this Section 9.2, the aggregate Taxes actually paid by the Tax Indemnitee for any taxable year and not subject to indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.2 are less (whether by reason of a deduction, credit, allocation or apportionment of income or otherwise) than the amount of such Taxes that otherwise would have been payable by such Tax Indemnitee (a "Tax Benefit"), then to the extent such Tax Benefit was not taken into account in determining the amount of indemnification payable by the Facility Lessee under paragraph (a) or (c) above and provided no Significant Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (in which event the payment provided under this Section 9.2(e) shall be deferred until the Significant Lease Default or Lease Event of Default has been cured), such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to the Facility Lessee the lesser of (A) (y) the amount of such Tax Benefit, plus (z) an amount equal to any United States federal, state or local income tax benefit resulting to the Tax Indemnitee from the payment under clause (y) above and this clause (z) (determined using the same assumptions as set forth in the second sentence under the definition of After-Tax Basis) and (B) the amount of the indemnity paid pursuant to this Section 9.2 giving rise to such Tax Benefit; provided, however, that any excess of (A) over (B) shall be carried forward and reduce the Facility Lessee's obligations to make subsequent payments to such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 9.
Tax Benefit Payments Section 3.01. Payments 9 Section 3.02. No Duplicative Payments 10
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.
Fiscal and Taxable Year The fiscal and taxable year of the Partnership shall be the calendar year.
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.
Carrybacks (a) The carryback of any loss, credit or other Tax Attribute from any Post-Closing Period shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Code and Treasury Regulations (and any applicable state, local or foreign Laws).
(b) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, GGP and Spinco shall waive the right to carryback any Tax Attribute of a member of their respective Groups arising in a Post-Closing Period to a Pre-Closing or Straddle Period; provided, however, that (i) GGP and Spinco may carryback any Tax Attribute if such carryback claim is reported on a Separate Return or is utilized to offset and reduce the liability for MPC Taxes, (ii) GGP may carryback any Tax Attribute if such carryback claim is reported on a Consolidated Return of the GGP Group, and (iii) Spinco may carryback any Tax Attribute if such carryback claim is reported on a Consolidated Return of the Spinco Group.
(c) In the event that, notwithstanding Section 5.01(b), GGP or Spinco is required to carryback Tax Attributes in order to avoid losing the benefit of such Tax Attributes, the Party responsible for filing the Tax Return on which such carryback claim is reported will cooperate with the other Party in seeking from the appropriate Taxing Authority any Refund that would be allocated to the other Party pursuant to Section 2.02 and that reasonably would result from such carryback (including by filing an amended Tax Return) at the other Party’s cost and expense; provided, however, that no Party shall be required or permitted to seek such Refund to the extent that such Refund would reasonably be expected to result in a Tax Detriment to a GGP Entity or a Spinco Entity, as the case may be, (including through an increase in Taxes or a loss or reduction of a Tax Attribute regardless of whether or when such Tax Attribute otherwise would have been used), in each case, without the prior written consent of GGP or Spinco, as applicable, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
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.
General Tax Indemnity Lessee shall pay and discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, within the period for payment permitted by law (and shall, if requested by a Tax Indemnitee, produce to that Tax Indemnitee evidence of the payment and discharge thereof) and indemnify each Tax Indemnitee and keep each Tax Indemnitee fully indemnified at all times from and against all Taxes payable by that Tax Indemnitee at any time in respect of this Agreement, any of Operative Documents, or the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, or any Part or interest therein or in respect of any transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Operative Documents including, without limitation, the purchase (including, without limitation, under the Purchase Agreement), ownership, delivery, redelivery, transport, leasing, subleasing, financing, refinancing, mortgaging, location, registration, use, possession and operation, repair, import to or export from any country, return, storage, maintenance, protection, sale, attempted sale, acceptance, abandonment, rejection or other disposition of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, or any Part or interest therein, or the rentals, receipts, income or earnings arising from any of the foregoing. The preceding sentence shall not apply to, and Lessee shall have no liability to a Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Clause 18.2 with respect to the following Taxes (collectively, “Excluded Taxes”):
(a) any Taxes arising with respect to periods after the termination of the leasing of the Aircraft under this Agreement and the return of the Aircraft in compliance with the terms hereof; provided, however, that the exclusion set forth in this subparagraph (a) shall not apply to Taxes relating to events occurring or matters arising on or prior to such time or to Taxes relating to payments made by Lessee to or for the benefit of such Tax Indemnitee under Lessee’s Documents following such time;
(b) any Taxes imposed on such Tax Indemnitee to the extent that such Taxes are directly attributable to any Tax Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or breach by such Tax Indemnitee or any Related Tax Indemnitee of its representations or covenants under any Lessee’s Document provided that, in the case of any Tax Indemnitee that is a Lender or a Related Tax Indemnitee, any Tax indemnification of such person shall (if requested by Lessee) be conditioned on an officer or other authorized signatory of Lessor certifying to Lessee that such Tax is not imposed due to the breach by a Tax Indemnitee or Related Tax Indemnitee of any of its representations, warranties or covenants under the Financing Documents;
(c) any Taxes imposed on such Tax Indemnitee that result from (i) any voluntary or involuntary sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition by such Tax Indemnitee or any Related Tax Indemnitee of any interest in the Aircraft or any part or portion thereof or this Agreement or any Operative Document, including any foreclosure by a creditor of such Tax Indemnitee or any Related Tax Indemnitee; provided, however, this sub-clause (c) shall not apply to Taxes arising or resulting from (t) any transfer of the Aircraft pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or the delivery of the Aircraft pursuant to this Agreement, (u) any transfer resulting from the repair, replacement or maintenance of the Aircraft or any part thereof, (v) any grant of a lien or security interest pursuant to any Financing Document upon or following a re-registration of the Aircraft in any jurisdiction other than the United States provided that Lessee is given at least 5 Business Days notice of such grant (but this subclause (v) shall apply only to the extent such Taxes exceed the amount of Taxes that would have been imposed had the Aircraft been and remained registered in the United States), (w) any transfer by the Lessee, including by reason of a sublease, whether or not permitted hereunder, (x) any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition occurring in connection with the exercise of remedies hereunder or under any Financing Document while an Event of Default hereunder has occurred and is continuing (or would be continuing but for the exercise of remedies), (y) any loss, damage, destruction, casualty, requisition, seizure or condemnation of all or any part of the Aircraft or (z) while the Aircraft is subleased to any non-U.S. carrier (but this subclause (z) shall apply only to the extent such Taxes exceed the Taxes that would have been imposed had the Aircraft not been so subleased);
(d) any Taxes imposed on such Tax Indemnitee with respect to, or measured by, the net or gross income, capital gain, profits, receipts, capital, net worth, corporate franchise, business activity, conduct of business or privilege to conduct business of such Tax Indemnitee or an Affiliate thereof or in the nature or a minimum income tax, (i) by the United States or any state or local jurisdiction therein (other than by reason of the replacement or substitution of an Engine or any part of the Aircraft) or (ii) by any other jurisdiction except in the case of this clause (ii), Taxes that would not have been imposed but for a connection between such Tax Indemnitee and the jurisdiction imposing the Tax due to any or all of (x) the negotiation, presence, execution or delivery by Lessee, or the enforcement or registration of any of Lessee’s Documents in such other jurisdiction, (y) the presence, use, operation, maintenance, alteration, registration, repair or replacement of the Aircraft or any part thereof in such other jurisdiction, or (z) the presence or organization of Lessee or other user of the Aircraft in, or payment by, or for the benefit of, Lessee of any amount under the Lessee’s Documents from, such other jurisdiction (Taxes described in sub-clauses (x), (y) or (z) above shall be referred to as “Lessee Connection Taxes”);
(e) any Tax other than a Lessee Connection Tax imposed on a Tax Indemnitee as a result of any Tax Indemnitee, any Related Tax Indemnitee or any Affiliate of any Tax Indemnitee (A) being organized in the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes, (B) maintaining or having maintained an office or other place of business in the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes or (C) conducting or having conducted business that is unrelated to the transactions contemplated in the Lessee’s Documents in the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes;
(f) a Tax that would not have been imposed but for a Lessor’s Lien;
(g) any Tax that would not have been imposed but for the existence or status of any trust used to hold title to the Aircraft;
(h) any Tax imposed on a Tax Indemnitee in respect of a “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the regulations issued thereunder, or Section 406 of ERISA or the regulations of the US Department of Labor implementing Section 406 of ERISA other than any such Tax arising as a result of Lessee’s breach of Clause 2.1(p) or 8.5 hereof;
(i) any Tax imposed as a result of any Tax Indemnitee’s or its Affiliate’s, agent’s or advisor’s failure to comply with sections 6111, 6112, 6707, 6707A or 6708 of the Code;
(j) any Tax imposed on (i) a transferee of the interests held by a Tax Indemnitee in the Aircraft or any Operative Documents, or (ii) a transferee of any interest in a Tax Indemnitee, in each case to the extent that, under law in effect on the date of transfer such Tax exceeds the amount of the Tax that would have been imposed on the transferor Tax Indemnitee, provided however that this sub-clause (j) shall not apply to any transfer described in the proviso to clause (c) above;
(k) in the case of any Tax Indemnitee that is a Lender or a Related Tax Indemnitee of a Lender, any Taxes unless such Taxes are subject to indemnification pursuant to the indemnification provisions of the Financing Documents;
(l) a Tax liability of any Tax Indemnitee which would have arisen even if this Lease had not been entered into; and
(m) any Tax arising from the failure of a Tax Indemnitee to comply with any certification or other requirement of the jurisdiction imposing the Tax as a precondition to any exemption from or reduction of such Tax to which such Tax Indemnitee may be entitled; provided such certification or other requirement or compliance therewith would not expose such Tax Indemnitee to any risk of material adverse consequences and further provided that Lessee has notified such Tax Indemnitee or such Tax Indemnitee has otherwise acquired knowledge of the relevant Tax and such certification or other requirement within sufficient time so as to allow such Tax Indemnitee, acting with diligence, to comply with such certification or requirement; provided the exclusions set forth in this Clause 18.2 shall not be interpreted to exclude the making of any payment on an After-Tax Basis.
