Federal Income Taxes For a brief description of the tax effects of an investment in the notes, see “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” on page S-12 of the attached prospectus supplement and page 61 of the attached prospectus.
Federal Income Tax Matters The Certificateholders acknowledge that it is their intent and that they understand it is the intent of the Depositor and the Servicer that, for purposes of federal income, State and local income and franchise tax and any other income taxes, the Trust will be treated either as a disregarded entity under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3 or as a partnership, and that the Certificateholders will be treated as partners in that partnership. The Certificateholders by acceptance of a Certificate agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with such treatment. For each calendar quarter, other than periods in which there is only one Certificateholder:
Federal Income Tax Withholding The Bank may withhold all federal and state income or other taxes from any benefit payable under this Agreement as shall be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling.
Federal Income Tax Allocations Net income of the Trust for any month as determined for federal income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, loss and deduction entering into the computation thereof) during which the beneficial ownership interests in the Trust are held by more than one Person shall be allocated:
Federal Income Tax Treatment It is the intention of the Trust Depositor that the Trust be disregarded as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3(b)(1)(ii) as in effect for periods after January 1, 1997. The Equity Certificate constitutes the sole equity interest in the Trust and must at all times be held by either the Trust Depositor or its transferee as sole Owner. The Trust Depositor agrees not to take any action inconsistent with such intended federal income tax treatment. Because for federal income tax purposes the Trust will be disregarded as a separate entity, Trust items of income, gain, loss and deduction for any month as determined for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated entirely to the Owner; provided, that this sentence shall not limit or otherwise affect the provisions of the Transaction Documents pertaining to distributions of Trust Assets or proceeds thereof to Persons other than the Trust Depositor.
Federal Income Tax Elections The Member shall make all elections for federal income tax purposes.
Federal Income Tax Treatment of the Trust (a) For so long as the Trust has a single owner for federal income tax purposes, it will, pursuant to Treasury Regulations promulgated under section 7701 of the Code, be disregarded as an entity distinct from the Certificateholder for all federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, for federal income tax purposes, the Certificateholder will be treated as (i) owning all assets owned by the Trust and (ii) having incurred all liabilities incurred by the Trust, and all transactions between the Trust and the Certificateholder will be disregarded.
Internal Revenue Code Section 409A The Company intends for this Agreement to comply with the Indemnification exception under Section 1.409A-1(b)(10) of the regulations promulgated under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), which provides that indemnification of, or the purchase of an insurance policy providing for payments of, all or part of the expenses incurred or damages paid or payable by Indemnitee with respect to a bona fide claim against Indemnitee or the Company do not provide for a deferral of compensation, subject to Section 409A of the Code, where such claim is based on actions or failures to act by Indemnitee in his or her capacity as a service provider of the Company. The parties intend that this Agreement be interpreted and construed with such intent.
Evidence of Exemption From U.S. Withholding Tax Each Lender that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Non-US Lender”) shall deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to Borrower, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement or Term Loan Joinder Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Borrower or Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (i) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Borrower to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Credit Documents, or (ii) if such Lender is not a “bank” or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI pursuant to clause (i) above, a Certificate re Non-Bank Status together with two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Borrower to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under any of the Credit Documents. Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section 2.19(c) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to Borrower two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or a Certificate re Non-Bank Status and two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form), as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Borrower to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Credit Documents, or notify Administrative Agent and Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Non-US Lender under Section 2.19(b)(iii) if such Lender shall have failed (1) to deliver the forms, certificates or other evidence referred to in the second sentence of this Section 2.19(c), or (2) to notify Administrative Agent and Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence, as the case may be; provided, if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirements of the first sentence of this Section 2.19(c) on the Closing Date, or on the date of the Assignment Agreement or Term Loan Joinder Agreement pursuant to which it became a Lender, as applicable, nothing in this last sentence of Section 2.19(c) shall relieve Borrower of its obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant this Section 2.19 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding as described herein.
