Severance Tax Refunds Sample Clauses
Related to Severance Tax Refunds
Tax Refunds Any refund or credit of Taxes (including as a result of any overpayment of Taxes in prior periods (or portions thereof in the case of a Straddle Period) and including any interest thereon) accruing to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in respect of the Transferred Entities or as a result of the ownership of the Transferred Assets or the Business (each, a “Tax Asset”) attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than any such refund or credit resulting from the carryback of losses, credits or similar items of a Transferred Entity, as the case may be, attributable to a Post-Closing Tax Period) shall be for the account of Seller, except to the extent such Tax Asset was taken into account in the adjustment described in Section 2.04. Purchaser shall pay and shall cause its Affiliates to pay, to Seller the amount of the Tax Asset, net of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in obtaining such Tax Asset, within ten (10) days after such Tax Asset is received or after such Tax Asset is allowed or applied against another Tax liability, as the case may be. Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, execute such documents, file such Tax Returns (including amended Tax Returns), take reasonable additional actions and otherwise reasonably cooperate as may be necessary for Purchaser and its Affiliates to perfect their rights in and obtain all Tax Assets for which Seller is entitled pursuant to this Section 8.05. None of Purchaser or its Affiliates shall surrender forfeit, fail to collect or otherwise minimize or delay any material Tax Asset to which Seller would be entitled pursuant to this Section 8.05. Except as provided in this Section 8.05, Purchaser and the Transferred Entities will be entitled to any refunds (including any interest received thereon) in respect of any federal, state, local or foreign Tax liability of the Transferred Entities or in respect of the Business received following the Closing Date.
Parachute Taxes (a) If any payment or benefit Executive would receive from the Company or otherwise in connection with a Change of Control or other similar transaction (“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment will be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” will be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount ((x) or (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 of the greater economic benefit notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a Reduced Amount will give rise to the greater after tax benefit, the reduction in the Payments will occur in the following order: (a) reduction of cash payments; (b) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards other than stock options; (c) cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock options; and (d) reduction of other benefits paid to Executive. Within any such category of payments and benefits (that is, (a), (b), (c) or (d)), a reduction will occur first with respect to amounts that are not “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and then with respect to amounts that are. In the event that acceleration of compensation from Executive’s equity awards is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting will be canceled, subject to the immediately preceding sentence, in the reverse order of the date of grant.
Excise Tax Payments (a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any payment (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or replaced (the "Code")), or distribution to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise in connection with, or arising out of, his or her employment with the Company (a "Payment" or "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, interest and penalties collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that after payment by the Executive of all such taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments; provided, that the Executive shall not be entitled to receive any additional payment relating to any interest or penalties attributable to any action or omission by the Executive in bad faith.
Excise Tax Gross-Up Payment (i) In the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution to Grantee or for Grantee's benefit which is in the nature of compensation and is contingent on a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), paid or payable pursuant to this Agreement (a "Payment"), would be subject (in whole or in part) to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (together with any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such excise tax, the "Excise Tax"), then Grantee shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (the "Excise Tax Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that, after payment by Grantee of all taxes (and any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes and Excise Tax imposed upon the Excise Tax Gross-Up Payment, Grantee retains an amount of the Excise Tax Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. The Company’s obligation to make Excise Tax Gross-Up Payments under this Section 8(n) shall not be conditioned upon Grantee's Separation from Service. For purposes of determining the amount of any Excise Tax Gross-Up Payment, Grantee shall be considered to pay federal income tax at Grantee's actual marginal rate of federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the Excise Tax Gross-Up Payment is to be made, and state and local income taxes at Grantee's actual marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of Grantee's residence on the date on which the Excise Tax Gross-Up Payment is calculated, for purposes of this Section 8(n), net of Grantee's actual reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes, and taking into consideration the phase-out of Grantee's itemized deductions under federal income tax law.
Tax Benefits If an indemnification obligation of any Indemnifying Party under this Section 14 arises in respect of an adjustment that makes allowable to an Indemnified Party any offsetting deduction or other item that would reduce taxes which would not, but for such adjustment, be allowable, then any such indemnification obligation shall be an amount equal to (i) the amount otherwise due but for this Section 14(d), minus (ii) the reduction in actual cash Taxes payable by the Indemnified Party in the year such indemnification obligation arises, determined on a “with and without” basis.
Excise Tax Equalization Payment In the event that the Executive becomes entitled to Severance Benefits or any other payment or benefit under this Agreement, or under any other agreement with or plan of the Company (in the aggregate, the "Total Payments"), if any of the Total Payments will be subject to the tax (the "Excise Tax") imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any similar tax that may hereafter be imposed), the Company shall pay to the Executive in cash an additional amount (the "Gross-Up Payment") such that the net amount retained by the Executive after deduction of any Excise Tax upon the Total Payments and any federal, state and local income tax and Excise Tax upon the Gross-Up Payment provided for by this Section 7.3 (including FICA and FUTA), shall be equal to the Total Payments. Such payment shall be made by the Company to the Executive as soon as practical following the effective date of termination, but in no event beyond thirty (30) days from such date.
Employment Taxes All payments made pursuant to this Agreement will be subject to withholding of applicable income and employment taxes.
Tax Refund (a) If, following the imposition of any Tax on any payment by any Obligor in consequence of which such Obligor pays an additional amount under Section 5.5(a), any Lender receives or is granted a refund of any Tax actually paid by it which in such Lender’s sole opinion (acting in good faith) is attributable to such additional amount paid by such Obligor and is both identifiable and quantifiable by it without requiring such Lender or its professional advisers to expend a material amount of time or incur a material cost in so identifying or quantifying (any of the foregoing, to the extent so identifiable and quantifiable, being referred to as a “refund”), such Lender shall, to the extent that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the relevant refund and subject to such Obligor’s obligation to repay promptly on demand by the Lender the amount to such Lender if the relevant refund is subsequently disallowed or cancelled, reimburse such Obligor promptly after receipt of such refund by such Lender with such amount as such Lender shall in its sole opinion but in good faith have concluded to be the amount or value of the relevant refund.
Golden Parachute Taxes In the event that any of the benefits provided to Executive by this Agreement (A) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, or any comparable successor provisions, and (B) but for this paragraph would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any comparable successor provisions (the “Excise Tax”), then Executive’s benefits hereunder shall be either (1) provided to Executive in full, or (2) provided to Executive as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts (when taking into account applicable federal, state, local and foreign income and employment taxes, the Excise Tax, and any other applicable taxes) results in the receipt by Executive of the greatest amount of benefits, on an after-tax basis, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be subject to payment of an Excise Tax. Unless Employer and Executive agree otherwise in writing, any determination required under this Section 4(j) shall be made in writing in good faith by a mutually determined and qualified third party (the “Professional Service Firm”). Any reduction in payments and/or benefits required shall occur in the following order: (1) reduction of cash payments; and (2) reduction of other benefits paid to Executive. In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity awards is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant for Executive’s equity awards. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 4(j), the Professional Service Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of the Code, and other applicable legal authority. Employer and Executive shall furnish to the Professional Service Firm such information and documents as the Professional Service Firm may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 4(j). Employer shall bear all costs and expenses the Professional Service Firm may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 4(j)(i).
