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.
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.
Sales Taxes Contractor shall be responsible for the administration and timely payment, with reimbursement therefor as provided in this Agreement, of all (a) sales and use taxes imposed by Applicable Legal Requirements upon Contractor that are properly payable (“Sales Taxes”) in connection with or arising from the Work, (b) Sales Taxes on items incorporated into the Work or imposed by Applicable Legal Requirements upon Owner and for which Contractor has the responsibility to collect such Tax from Owner and (c) value added, excise taxes and import duties that are properly payable by Contractor or any Subcontractor in performance of the Work. All other Taxes (except to the extent similar to those set forth in Section 2.2.9.2) imposed by non-U.S. Governmental Authorities, duties and fees of any kind, in each case that are properly payable in connection with or arising from the performance of the Work will be reimbursed by Owner to Contractor. Owner shall reimburse Contractor for Sales Taxes in connection with or related to the Work that are incorporated into the Work or that are imposed by Applicable Legal Requirements upon Owner and are paid by Contractor. Such reimbursement shall be made only upon the furnishing of reasonable documentation establishing that such Taxes have in fact been paid to the appropriate taxing jurisdiction. Reimbursement for the Sales Taxes as provided in Section 3.4.2 shall be part of the Reimbursable Component, and Owner does not assume any further liability in connection with such Taxes. Reimbursement for Sales Taxes on items incorporated into the Work shall be a contractual commitment to Contractor and Owner shall not have any direct liability to any taxing jurisdiction for Contractor’s failure to properly pay such Taxes. Contractor agrees to indemnify and hold Owner harmless for any Taxes, interest, penalties or other costs that arise from the failure of Contractor to remit or timely remit Sales Taxes as required by Applicable Legal Requirements and this Agreement or arising from the failure of Contractor to allow Sales Tax audits or to comply with any other requirements of the state and local taxing authorities in connection with the Work. In circumstances where a Sales Tax is imposed for purchases that are not exempt from Sales Tax pursuant to exemption programs identified by Owner to Contractor or for which an exemption is not applicable, Contractor shall be reimbursed in accordance with Section 3.4 for its payment of all such Sales Taxes; provided, however, that if Sales Taxes (for which an exemption would have otherwise applied) are paid on a purchase identified by Owner as tax benefit-qualified because of Contractor’s failure to furnish or cause to be furnished properly completed Sales Tax certificates as provided in Appendix L or any other failure by Contractor to perform its obligations hereunder, then Contractor shall reimburse Owner, at Contractor’s expense, for the reasonable costs incurred by Owner in seeking a refund of such Sales Taxes from appropriate authorities. With respect to all purchases identified by Owner as tax benefit-qualified, Contractor shall furnish to the appropriate taxing authorities all required information and reports in connection with all Contractor Taxes and Sales Taxes. Contractor shall furnish to Owner all required information and reports in connection with all Sales Taxes as are as described in Appendix L or otherwise reasonably requested in a Notice from Owner to Contractor. Contractor shall provide assistance as reasonably requested by Owner or its tax consultant(s), in confirming eligibility and qualification for exemptions from Sales Taxes (and any other tax exemptions) to the relevant Governmental Authorities. From time to time and within 30 days of a request therefor, Contractor shall provide Owner with information regarding quantities, descriptions, and costs of property installed at the Project reasonably requested by Owner in connection with the preparation of Owner’s tax returns, satisfying regulatory requirements or as otherwise required in connection with Financing or with obtaining exemption from, or rebate of, Sales Tax. Contractor agrees to participate in any Sales Tax exemptions or rebate programs identified by Owner, to complete and deliver the applicable documentation to obtain tax-exemption for purchases of Equipment and Materials, and to pass any Sales Tax savings or rebates through to Owner. Owner hereby notifies Contractor that all Equipment and certain Materials and Consumables will be installed or used within an “enterprise zone” and therefore may be subject to Sales Tax rebates under the Louisiana Quality Jobs Act Program or the Louisiana Enterprise Zone Program upon Contractor’s proper completion and presentation of the Sales Tax certificates set forth in Appendix L for purchases identified by Owner, subject to certain other terms and conditions of Sales Tax exemption and rebate programs.
Sales Tax Each Participating Entity is responsible for supplying the Supplier with valid tax- exemption certification(s). When ordering, a Participating Entity must indicate if it is a tax- exempt entity.
Value Added Tax (VAT Where appropriate, VAT will be added to the fees or charges on your product account.
Federal Excise Tax A. Any taxes (including (i) any taxes based on or imposed on, in whole or in part, the Reinsurer's net income or (ii) any excise taxes under Section 4371 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") with respect to the business covered under this Contract) imposed by any governmental entity in respect of amounts paid to the Reinsurer under this Contract will be the responsibility of the Reinsurer and the Company shall have no liability therefor. The Reinsurer will allow the Company to deduct, for the purpose of paying Federal Excise Tax the applicable percentage of any premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of the Code) to the extent such premium is subject to such tax. Without limiting the foregoing, the Reinsurer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Insured against any excise taxes imposed under Section 4371 of the Code with respect to the business covered under this Contract except to the extent any penalties applied or interest arising from the Company's negligence. B. In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer shall deduct the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its agent should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.
Goods and Services Tax (GST (a) For the purposes of clause 9:
Taxes Imposed on Customers With respect to any purchase hereunder of Services that are resold to a third party, if any federal, state or local Tax is imposed by Applicable Law on the subscriber, end-user, Customer or ultimate consumer (“Subscriber”) in connection with any such purchase, which a Telecommunications Company is required to impose and/or collect from a Subscriber, then the Purchasing Party (a) shall be required to impose and/or collect such Tax from the Subscriber and (b) shall timely remit such Tax to the applicable taxing authority.
Underpayments (a) In the event the employee does not receive the wages or benefits to which the record/documentation has for all times indicated the Employer agreed the employee was entitled, the Agency shall notify the employee in writing of the underpayment. This notification will include information showing that an underpayment exists and the amount of wages and/or benefits to be repaid. The Agency shall correct any such underpayment made within a maximum of two (2) years before the modification. (b) This provision shall not apply to claims disputing eligibility for payments which result from this Agreement. Employees claiming eligibility for such things as leadwork, work out of classification pay or reclassification must pursue those claims pursuant to the timelines elsewhere in this Agreement.
Excise Tax Gross-Up If Executive becomes entitled to one or more payments (with a "payment" including the vesting of restricted stock, a stock option, or other non-cash benefit or property), whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan or agreement with the Company or any affiliated company (collectively, "Change of Control Payments"), which are or become subject to the tax ("Excise Tax") imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Company shall pay to Executive at the time specified below such amount (the "Gross-up Payment") as may be necessary to place Executive in the same after-tax position as if no portion of the Change of Control Payments and any amounts paid to Executive pursuant to this paragraph 5(c) had been subject to the Excise Tax. The Gross-up Payment shall include, without limitation, reimbursement for any penalties and interest that may accrue in respect of such Excise Tax. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-up Payment, Executive shall be deemed: (A) to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation for the year in which the Gross-up Payment is to be made; and (B) to pay any applicable state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation for the calendar year in which the Gross-up Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes if paid in such year. If the Excise Tax is subsequently determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-up Payment is made, Executive shall repay to the Company at the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined (but, if previously paid to the taxing authorities, not prior to the time the amount of such reduction is refunded to Executive or otherwise realized as a benefit by Executive) the portion of the Gross-up Payment that would not have been paid if such Excise Tax had been used in initially calculating the Gross-up Payment, plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. In the event that the Excise Tax is determined to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-up Payment is made, the Company shall make an additional Gross-up Payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest and penalties payable with respect to such excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined. The Gross-up Payment provided for above shall be paid on the 30th day (or such earlier date as the Excise Tax becomes due and payable to the taxing authorities) after it has been determined that the Change of Control Payments (or any portion thereof) are subject to the Excise Tax; provided, however, that if the amount of such Gross-up Payment or portion thereof cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the Company shall pay to Executive on such day an estimate, as determined by counsel or auditors selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to Executive, of the minimum amount of such payments. The Company shall pay to Executive the remainder of such payments (together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as the amount thereof can be determined. In the event that the amount of the estimated payments exceeds the amount subsequently determined to have been due, such excess shall constitute a loan by the Company to Executive, payable on the fifth day after demand by the Company (together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code). The Company shall have the right to control all proceedings with the Internal Revenue Service that may arise in connection with the determination and assessment of any Excise Tax and, at its sole option, the Company may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings, and conferences with any taxing authority in respect of such Excise Tax (including any interest or penalties thereon); provided, however, that the Company's control over any such proceedings shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-up Payment would be payable hereunder, and Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. Executive shall cooperate with the Company in any proceedings relating to the determination and assessment of any Excise Tax and shall not take any position or action that would materially increase the amount of any Gross-up Payment hereunder.
