Tax Allocation Prior to the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to determine a reasonable allocation of the total consideration paid for the Transferred Assets, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.1(d), Section 2.1(i) and Section 3.3, in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to mutually agree to such allocation and shall reduce such agreement to writing, which agreement shall be reflected in an Exhibit 2.1(j) to be approved by Seller and Purchaser prior to Closing. Seller and Purchaser shall jointly and properly execute each party’s respective completed Internal Revenue Service Form 8594, and any other forms or statements required by the Code (or state or local Tax law), Treasury Regulations or the Internal Revenue Service or other Governmental Authority (together with any and all attachments required to be filed therewith), which forms and statements will be prepared in a manner consistent with the Purchase Price Allocation. Seller and Purchaser shall file timely such forms and statements with the Internal Revenue Service or other Governmental Authority. The Purchase Price Allocation shall be appropriately adjusted to take into account any subsequent payments under this Agreement and any other subsequent events required to be taken into account under Section 1060 of the Code. Seller and Purchaser shall not file any Tax Return or other documents or otherwise take any position with respect to Taxes that is inconsistent with the Purchase Price Allocation; provided, however, that neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be obligated to litigate any challenge to such allocation by any Governmental Authority. Seller and Purchaser shall promptly inform one another of any challenge by any Governmental Authority to any allocation made pursuant to this Section 2.1(j) and agree to consult with and keep one another informed with respect to the state of, and any discussion, proposal or submission with respect to, such challenge.
Tax Allocations Each item of income, gain, loss or deduction recognized by the Company shall be allocated among the Members for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes in the same manner that each such item is allocated to the Member’s Capital Accounts pursuant to Section 3.2(d) or as otherwise provided herein, provided that the Board may adjust such allocations as long as such adjusted allocations have substantial economic effect or are in accordance with the interests of the Members in the Company, in each case within the meaning of the Code and the Treasury Regulations. Tax credits and tax credit recapture shall be allocated in accordance with the Members’ interests in the Company as provided in Treasury Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii). Items of Company taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property (other than cash) contributed to the capital of the Company or revalued shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members, as determined by the Board in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code, so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its fair market value at the time of contribution or revaluation, as the case may be. All of the Members agree that the Board is authorized to select the method or convention, or to treat an item as an extraordinary item, in relation to any variation of any Member’s interest in the Company described in section 1.706-4 of the Treasury Regulations in determining the Members’ distributive shares of Company items. All matters concerning allocations for U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. income tax purposes, including accounting procedures, not expressly provided for by the terms of this Agreement shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion. Each Class B Ordinary Share is intended to be treated as a profits interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and all of the Members agree to report consistently with, and to take any action requested by the Board to ensure, such treatment.
Allocation Following the Closing, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Sellers an allocation of the aggregate consideration among Sellers and, for any transactions contemplated by this Agreement that do not constitute an Agreed G Transaction pursuant to Section 6.16, Purchaser shall also prepare and deliver to the applicable Seller a proposed allocation of the Purchase Price and other consideration paid in exchange for the Purchased Assets, prepared in accordance with Section 1060, and if applicable, Section 338, of the Tax Code (the “Allocation”). The applicable Seller shall have thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Allocation to review and consent to the Allocation in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the applicable Seller consents to the Allocation, such Seller and Purchaser shall use such Allocation to prepare and file in a timely manner all appropriate Tax filings, including the preparation and filing of all applicable forms in accordance with applicable Law, including Forms 8594 and 8023, if applicable, with their respective Tax Returns for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date and shall take no position in any Tax Return that is inconsistent with such Allocation; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent the applicable Seller and Purchaser from settling any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Authority based upon or arising out of such Allocation, and neither the applicable Seller nor Purchaser shall be required to litigate before any court, any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Taxing Authority challenging such Allocation. If the applicable Seller does not consent to such Allocation, the applicable Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of such disagreement within such thirty (30) day period, and thereafter, the applicable Seller shall attempt in good faith to promptly resolve any such disagreement. If the Parties cannot resolve a disagreement under this Section 3.3, such disagreement shall be resolved by an independent accounting firm chosen by Purchaser and reasonably acceptable to the applicable Seller, and such resolution shall be final and binding on the Parties. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by Purchaser, on the one hand, and the applicable Seller, on the other hand. The applicable Seller shall provide Purchaser, and Purchaser shall provide the applicable Seller, with a copy of any information described above required to be furnished to any Taxing Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.
Allocation Schedule No later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to SLAM an allocation schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) setting forth (a) the number of Company Shares held by each Company Shareholder, the number of Company Shares subject to each Company Equity Award held by each holder thereof, as well as whether each such Company Equity Award will be a Vested Company Option or an Unvested Company Option as of immediately prior to the Second Effective Time, and, in the case of the Company Options, the exercise price thereof, (b) the number of Topco Shares that will be subject to each Assumed Option and, in the case of each Assumed Option, the exercise price thereof at the Second Effective Time, as well as the calculation of the Option Exchange Ratio, (c) a calculation of the Adjusted Transaction Share Consideration and its components (including the Adjusted Equity Value, the Aggregate Exercise Price and the Equity Value), (d) the portion of the Adjusted Transaction Share Consideration and the type of Equity Security of Topco allocated to each holder of Equity Securities of the Company outstanding as of immediately prior to the Second Effective Time, and (e) a certification, duly executed by an authorized officer of the Company, that the information delivered pursuant to clause (a), clause (b), clause (c) and clause (d) is, and will be as of immediately prior to the Second Effective Time, true and correct in all respects and in accordance with the last sentence of this Section 2.3. The Company will review any comments to the Allocation Schedule provided by SLAM or any of its Representatives and consider in good faith any reasonable comments proposed by SLAM or any of its Representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, (A) the aggregate number of Topco Shares that each Company Shareholder will have a right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(viii) will be rounded down to the nearest whole share, (B) in no event shall the aggregate number of Topco Shares set forth on the Allocation Schedule that are allocated in respect of all Equity Securities of the Company outstanding as of immediately prior to the Second Effective Time exceed the Adjusted Transaction Share Consideration and (C) the Allocation Schedule (or the calculations or determinations therein) shall be prepared in accordance with, as applicable, applicable Law, the Governing Documents of the Company in effect immediately prior to the Second Effective Time, the Company Equity Plan and any other Contract to which the Company is a party or bound.
Gross Income Allocation If any Partner has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Partner is obligated to restore, if any, pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Partner is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.05(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that a Partner would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article V have been tentatively made as if Section 5.05(b) and this Section 5.05(c) were not in this Agreement.
Corrective Allocations In the event of any allocation of Additional Book Basis Derivative Items or any Book-Down Event or any recognition of a Net Termination Loss, the following rules shall apply:
(A) In the case of any allocation of Additional Book Basis Derivative Items (other than an allocation of Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss under Section 5.5(d) hereof), the General Partner shall allocate additional items of gross income and gain away from the holders of Incentive Distribution Rights to the Unitholders and the General Partner, or additional items of deduction and loss away from the Unitholders and the General Partner to the holders of Incentive Distribution Rights, to the extent that the Additional Book Basis Derivative Items allocated to the Unitholders or the General Partner exceed their Share of Additional Book Basis Derivative Items. For this purpose, the Unitholders and the General Partner shall be treated as being allocated Additional Book Basis Derivative Items to the extent that such Additional Book Basis Derivative Items have reduced the amount of income that would otherwise have been allocated to the Unitholders or the General Partner under the Partnership Agreement (e.g., Additional Book Basis Derivative Items taken into account in computing cost of goods sold would reduce the amount of book income otherwise available for allocation among the Partners). Any allocation made pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(xii)(A) shall be made after all of the other Agreed Allocations have been made as if this Section 6.1(d)(xii) were not in this Agreement and, to the extent necessary, shall require the reallocation of items that have been allocated pursuant to such other Agreed Allocations.
(B) In the case of any negative adjustments to the Capital Accounts of the Partners resulting from a Book-Down Event or from the recognition of a Net Termination Loss, such negative adjustment (1) shall first be allocated, to the extent of the Aggregate Remaining Net Positive Adjustments, in such a manner, as determined by the General Partner, that to the extent possible the aggregate Capital Accounts of the Partners will equal the amount that would have been the Capital Account balance of the Partners if no prior Book-Up Events had occurred, and (2) any negative adjustment in excess of the Aggregate Remaining Net Positive Adjustments shall be allocated pursuant to Section 6.1(c) hereof.
(C) In making the allocations required under this Section 6.1(d)(xii), the General Partner may apply whatever conventions or other methodology it determines will satisfy the purpose of this Section 6.1(d)(xii).
Purchase Price Allocation (a) As soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser: (i) a proposed allocation of the Assumed Liabilities by country based on an estimate of the fair market values of the Purchased Assets and, if required by applicable Law, an allocation by asset category within a particular country (the “Estimated Allocation of the Assumed Liabilities”) and (ii) a proposed allocation of the Initial Payment by country based on an estimate of the fair market values of the Purchased Assets and, if required by applicable Law, an allocation by asset category within a particular country (the “Estimated Allocation of the Initial Payment”, and together with the “Estimated Allocation of the Assumed Liabilities”, the “Estimated Allocation of the Initial Purchase Price”). Subject to Section 6.04(a), during the fifteen (15) day period following delivery of the Estimated Allocation of the Initial Purchase Price, Seller shall make its Representatives reasonably and timely available to Purchaser, Xxxxxx and their respective Representatives to discuss the Estimated Allocation of the Initial Purchase Price. The Estimated Allocation of the Initial Purchase Price shall be prepared in accordance with the principles of Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. If Purchaser does not deliver written notice of any dispute (an “Allocation Dispute Notice”) within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Estimated Allocation of the Initial Purchase Price, the Estimated Allocation of the Initial Purchase Price shall be deemed the Final Allocation of the Initial Purchase Price for all purposes hereunder. Prior to the end of such fifteen (15) day period, Purchaser may accept the Estimated Allocation of the Initial Purchase Price by delivering written notice to that effect to Seller and Xxxxxx, in which case the Estimated Allocation of the Initial Purchase Price shall be deemed the Final Allocation for all purposes hereunder when such notice is given. If Purchaser delivers an Allocation Dispute Notice within such fifteen (15) day period, the Parties and Xxxxxx shall use reasonable best efforts to resolve such dispute during the thirty (30) day period following Seller’s receipt of the Allocation Dispute Notice from Purchaser. If the Parties and Xxxxxx do not agree upon a final resolution with respect to the Estimated Allocation of the Initial Purchase Price within such fifteen (15) day period, then the Estimated Allocation of the Initial Purchase Price shall be submitted immediately to an internationally recognized, independent accounting or valuation firm reasonably acceptable to the Parties and Xxxxxx (the “Allocation Firm”). The Allocation Firm shall be requested to render a determination of the applicable dispute within fifteen (15) days after referral of the matter to such Allocation Firm, which determination must be in writing and must set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis therefor. The determination of the Allocation Firm shall be final and binding, absent manifest error. Any fees payable to the Allocation Firm shall be borne equally by Seller and Purchaser. The Estimated Allocation of the Initial Purchase Price accepted by the Parties and Xxxxxx or determined by the Allocation Firm, as the case may be, shall be the “Final Allocation of the Initial Purchase Price”. The Final Allocation of the Initial Purchase Price shall be done at arm’s length based upon a good faith determination of fair market value.
(b) As soon as practicable after each Subsequent Payment Date, Seller shall determine the U.S. Tax Purchase Price and Local Tax Purchase Price and prepare and deliver to Purchaser a proposed allocation of each of the U.S. Tax Purchase Price and Local Tax Purchase Price by country based on an estimate of the fair market values of the Purchased Assets and, if required by applicable Law, an allocation by asset category within a particular country (the “Estimated Allocation of the U.S. Tax Purchase Price” and the “Estimated Allocation of the Local Tax Purchase Price”, respectively, and together the “Estimated Allocation of the U.S.
Curative Allocation (A) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.1, other than the Required Allocations, the Required Allocations shall be taken into account in making the Agreed Allocations so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of items of income, gain, loss and deduction allocated to each Partner pursuant to the Required Allocations and the Agreed Allocations, together, shall be equal to the net amount of such items that would have been allocated to each such Partner under the Agreed Allocations had the Required Allocations and the related Curative Allocation not otherwise been provided in this Section 6.1. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Required Allocations relating to (1) Nonrecourse Deductions shall not be taken into account except to the extent that there has been a decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain and (2) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions shall not be taken into account except to the extent that there has been a decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(xi)(A) shall only be made with respect to Required Allocations to the extent the General Partner determines that such allocations will otherwise be inconsistent with the economic agreement among the Partners. Further, allocations pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(xi)(A) shall be deferred with respect to allocations pursuant to clauses (1) and (2) hereof to the extent the General Partner determines that such allocations are likely to be offset by subsequent Required Allocations.
(B) The General Partner shall, with respect to each taxable period, (1) apply the provisions of Section 6.1(d)(xi)(A) in whatever order is most likely to minimize the economic distortions that might otherwise result from the Required Allocations, and (2) divide all allocations pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(xi)(A) among the Partners in a manner that is likely to minimize such economic distortions.
Gross Income Allocations In the event any Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account at the end of any Partnership taxable period in excess of the sum of (A) the amount such Partner is required to restore pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and (B) the amount such Partner is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5), such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership gross income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(iv) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit balance in its Capital Account as adjusted after all other allocations provided for in this Section 6.1 have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.1(d)(iv) were not in this Agreement.
Contribution Allocation The Advisory Committee will allocate deferral contributions, matching contributions, qualified nonelective contributions and nonelective contributions in accordance with Section 14.06 and the elections under this Adoption Agreement Section 3.04.
