Regulatory Matters The parties will negotiate in good faith to resolve regulatory criticisms or concerns expressed by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency or other U.S. federal or state banking Regulators that can reasonably be addressed through a modification of the Agreement or adoption of mutually agreeable policies or procedures to prevent or resolve a Material Default described by clause (iii) of such definition, subject to applicable legal requirements including restrictions on disclosing confidential supervisory information.
Tax Matters (a) The Company shall pay any and all transfer Taxes, stamp Taxes or duties, documentary Taxes, or other similar Taxes imposed upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock pursuant to this Agreement or the issuance of shares of Common Stock on account of the conversion of Preferred Stock pursuant to the Certificate of Designations; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any such Tax that may be payable in connection with any issuance of Common Stock pursuant to a conversion of Preferred Stock to the extent such Tax is payable because a registered holder of Preferred Stock requests Common Stock to be registered in a name other than such registered holder’s name (including in connection with any Convertible Transfer (as defined in the Certificate of Designations)) and, no such Common Stock will be so registered unless and until the registered holder making such request has paid such taxes to the Company or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such taxes have been paid or are not payable. The Company and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate to avoid or minimize the imposition of transfer Taxes, stamp Taxes or duties, documentary Taxes, or other similar Taxes described in the first sentence of this Section 4.13. (b) Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Certificate of Designations to the contrary, the Company and any applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable on or with respect to the Common Stock or Preferred Stock (including upon conversion of any Preferred Stock) such amounts as it is required to deduct or withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other applicable Tax Law. If the holder of Preferred Stock is deemed for U.S. federal income tax purposes to have received a distribution with respect to the Preferred Stock, the Company or an applicable withholding agent may satisfy any resulting applicable withholding obligations (including with respect to backup withholding) imposed in connection with such deemed distribution by withholding from any other payments due with respect to the Preferred Stock or Common Stock, including any payments upon conversion, repurchase or redemption of the Preferred Stock or Common Stock to the extent required by applicable Tax Law. If any amounts are so deducted or withheld and subsequently paid to the applicable Governmental Entity, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and the Certificate of Designations as having been paid to the person to which such amounts would have otherwise been payable. (c) Following the Closing, if the Company becomes aware that an event or other occurrence has occurred that, if the Preferred Stock were treated as “preferred stock” for purposes of Section 305 of the Code, would cause a deemed distribution, with respect to the Preferred Stock, pursuant to Section 305(c) of the Code, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Purchaser of such event or occurrence and shall consult with Purchaser in good faith regarding the treatment of such event or occurrence. The Company and Purchaser agree that there shall be no deemed distribution on the Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 305(c) of the Code in respect of a difference between the “issue price” and the “redemption price” of the Preferred Stock and except to the extent otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code, neither the Company nor Purchaser shall take any position inconsistent therewith. (d) Following the Closing, Purchaser shall provide the Company with a proposed allocation of the Investment Amount among the shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock delivered at the Closing and the Warrant for U.S. tax purposes. The Company may propose reasonable comments to the proposed allocation within fifteen (15) days of receiving the proposed allocation, and Purchaser shall consider such comments in good faith. Thereafter, Purchaser shall provide the Company with a final allocation for U.S. tax purposes and such final allocation shall be binding on Purchaser and the Company for all U.S. tax purposes. Thereafter, Purchaser shall provide the Company with a final adjusted allocation for U.S. tax purposes and such final adjusted allocation shall be binding on Purchaser and the Company for all U.S. tax purposes.
