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.
Income Tax Allocations (a) Except as provided in this Section 9.4, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as such items are allocated for book purposes under Sections 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 and 13.4(b).
(b) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value at the time of its contribution to the Company. If the Gross Asset Value of any Company property is adjusted in accordance with clause (c) or (d) of the definition of Gross Asset Value, then subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction shall take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value as provided in Code Section 704(c) and the related Treasury Regulations. For purposes of such allocations, the Company shall elect the remedial allocation method described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(d).
(c) All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocated to the Members in accordance with the provisions hereof and basis allocations recognized by the Company for federal income tax purposes shall be determined without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code which may be made by the Company.
(d) If any deductions for depreciation or cost recovery are recaptured as ordinary income upon the Transfer of Company properties, the ordinary income character of the gain from such Transfer shall be allocated among the Members in the same ratio as the deductions giving rise to such ordinary character were allocated.
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.

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.
Section 704(c) Allocations Notwithstanding Section 6.5.A hereof, Tax Items with respect to Property that is contributed to the Partnership with an initial Gross Asset Value that varies from its basis in the hands of the contributing Partner immediately preceding the date of contribution shall be allocated among the Holders for income tax purposes pursuant to Regulations promulgated under Code Section 704(c) so as to take into account such variation. With respect to Partnership Property that is contributed to the Partnership in connection with the General Partner’s initial public offering, such variation between basis and initial Gross Asset Value shall be taken into account under the “traditional method” as described in Regulations Section 1.704-3(b). With respect to other Properties, the Partnership shall account for such variation under any method approved under Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations as chosen by the General Partner. In the event that the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to subsection (b) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value” (provided in Article 1 hereof), subsequent allocations of Tax Items with respect to such asset shall take account of the variation, if any, between the adjusted basis of such asset and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations and using the method chosen by the General Partner; provided, however, that the “traditional method” as described in Regulations Section 1.704-3(b) shall be used with respect to Partnership Property that is contributed to the Partnership in connection with the General Partner’s initial public offering. Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.5.B are solely for purposes of Federal, state and local income taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Net Income, Net Loss, or any other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
Closing Payment At the Closing, Buyer will pay or cause to be paid to Seller the Closing Payment Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds or by such other means as may be agreed upon by Seller and Buyer.
Post-Closing Adjustment (a) Promptly after the Closing Date, and in any event not later than twenty (20) days following the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”), setting forth Seller’s good faith calculation of (i) Closing Working Capital, (ii) Closing Indebtedness, (iii) Transaction Expenses, (iv) Closing Cash, and (v) the resulting calculation of the Purchase Price, together with reasonable supporting detail and documentation. The Post-Closing Statement shall be accompanied by a certificate of an executive officer of Seller stating that the Post-Closing Statement has been prepared in accordance with this Agreement, including the Accounting Principles (to the extent applicable) and the definitions set forth herein. Purchaser shall give Seller and its Representatives reasonable access, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, to the premises, books and records, and appropriate personnel of the Business, the Conveyed Companies and Purchaser for purposes of the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement in accordance with this Section 2.4(a), and Purchaser shall instruct its personnel (including the Transferred Employees) and Representatives to reasonably cooperate with, and promptly and completely respond to all reasonable requests and inquiries of, Seller and its Representatives. Upon execution of a customary access letter if required by the applicable Party’s outside accountants, each Party and its Representatives shall have reasonable access, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, to all relevant work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents prepared by the other Party or its Representatives (including its outside accountants) to the extent related to the calculation of the Closing Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and/or Transaction Expenses in any respect. Following delivery of the Post-Closing Statement, Seller shall afford Purchaser and its Representatives reasonable access, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, to Sellers’ and its Affiliates’ appropriate personnel involved in the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement.
(b) Purchaser and Purchaser’s accountants and financial and other advisors may make inquiries of Seller and/or Seller’s accountants regarding questions concerning or disagreements with the Post-Closing Statement arising in the course of Purchaser’s review, and Seller shall instruct its personnel and Representatives to reasonably cooperate with, and promptly and completely respond to all reasonable requests and inquiries of, Purchaser and its Representatives. Purchaser shall complete its review of the Post-Closing Statement within seventy-five (75) days after the delivery thereof to Purchaser. In no event later than the conclusion of such seventy-five (75) day period, Purchaser may submit to Seller a letter regarding its concurrence or disagreement with the accuracy of the Post-Closing Statement; provided that any such letter must specify (i) the items of the Post-Closing Statement with which Purchaser disagrees, (ii) the adjustments that Purchaser proposes to be made to the Post-Closing Statement (each, a “Disputed Item”) and (iii) the specific amount of such disagreement and all reasonable supporting detail and documentation and calculations (the “Purchaser Objection Statement”); and provided, further, that Purchaser may only disagree with the Post-Closing Statement to the extent Purchaser claims Seller did not prepare the Post-Closing Statement in a manner consistent with the Accounting Principles (to the extent applicable) or the terms of this Agreement (including the definitions set forth herein). If Purchaser does not deliver a Purchaser Objection Statement before the conclusion of such seventy-five (75) day period, the Post-Closing Statement shall be final and binding upon the Parties and Purchaser shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts contained in the Post-Closing Statement. If Purchaser does deliver a Purchaser Objection Statement, following such delivery, Seller and Purchaser shall attempt in good faith to resolve promptly any disagreement as to the computation of any item in the Post-Closing Statement. Any items as to which there is no disagreement shall be deemed agreed. If a resolution of such disagreement has not been effected within ten (10) days (or longer, as mutually agreed by the Parties) after delivery of the Purchaser Objection Statement, then Seller and Purchaser shall execute a customary engagement letter with the Accountant and submit any unresolved Disputed
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.
