Section 3.04 AgeX Group Federal Income Tax Liability. With respect to each taxable year ending prior to the Deconsolidation Year and beginning on or after the Effective Date, the AgeX Group Federal Income Tax Liability for such taxable period shall be the Federal Income Taxes for such taxable period, as determined on an AgeX Group Pro Forma Consolidated Tax Return prepared:

(a) assuming that the members of the AgeX Group were not included in the Consolidated Group and by including only Tax Items of members of the AgeX Group that are included in the Consolidated Return;

(f) assuming that the AgeX Group’s utilization of any Tax Attribute carryforward or carryback is limited to the Tax Attributes of the AgeX Group that would be available if the AgeX Group Federal Income Tax Liability for each taxable year ending after January 1, 2011 were determined in accordance with this Section 3.04.

Section 3.05 BioTime Group Combined Tax Liability. With respect to any taxable year ending prior to the Deconsolidation Year and beginning on or after the Effective Date, the BioTime Group Combined Tax Liability shall be the sum for such taxable period of the BioTime Group’s liability for Taxes owed with respect to Combined Returns, as determined on the BioTime Group Pro Forma Combined Returns prepared in a manner consistent with the principles and procedures set forth in Section 3.03 hereof.

Section 3.06 AgeX Group Combined Tax Liability. With respect to any taxable year ending prior to the Deconsolidation Year and beginning on or after the Effective Date, the AgeX Group Combined Tax Liability shall be the sum for such taxable period of the AgeX Group’s liability for Taxes owed with respect to Combined Returns, as determined on the AgeX Group Pro Forma Combined Returns prepared in a manner consistent with the principles and procedures set forth in Section 3.04 hereof.

Section 3.07 Preparation and Delivery of Pro Forma Tax Returns. Not later than ninety (90) days following the date on which the related Consolidated Return or Combined Return, as the case may be, is filed with the appropriate Tax Authority, BioTime shall prepare and deliver to AgeX pro forma Tax Returns calculating (i) the BioTime Group Federal Income Tax Liability or the BioTime Group Combined Tax Liability, and (ii) the AgeX Group Federal Income Tax Liability or the AgeX Group Combined Tax Liability, which is attributable to the period covered by such filed Tax Return.

Section 3.08 Intercompany Payables and Receivables. The liability of the BioTime Group and the AgeX Group for (i) the BioTime Group Federal Income Tax Liability and BioTime Group Combined Tax Liability, and (ii) the AgeX Group Federal Income Tax Liability and AgeX Group Combined Tax Liability, respectively, shall be reflected in the intercompany accounts of BioTime or AgeX, as the case may be, to the extent such liabilities are paid by BioTime or other person who is not a member of the AgeX Group.

Section 3.09 Credit for Use of Attributes. Not later than ninety (90) days following the filing of the Consolidated Return for each taxable year, BioTime shall determine the aggregate amount of the Tax Attributes of the Consolidated Group and all Combined Groups that are allocable to the BioTime Group (the “BioTime Allocated Attributes”) and the AgeX Group (the “AgeX Allocated Attributes”) as of the end of such year and shall inform AgeX of such determination.

(a) If the amount of the BioTime Allocated Attributes is less than the amount of Tax Attributes (as reasonably determined by BioTime) that would have been available to the BioTime Group at the end of such year had the BioTime Group Members not been included in the Consolidated Return and the Combined Returns (the “BioTime Stand-Alone Attributes”), the value of such shortfall, to the extent such shortfall is attributable to the use of the BioTime Group’s Tax Attributes by AgeX Group Members, shall be reflected in the intercompany accounts as an amount payable by AgeX to BioTime. If the amount of the BioTime Allocated Attributes is greater than the BioTime Stand-Alone Attributes, the value of such excess, to the extent such excess is attributable to the use of Tax Attributes of AgeX Group Members by BioTime Group Members during such year, shall be reflected in the intercompany accounts as an amount payable by BioTime to AgeX. For this purpose, a Tax Attribute shall be treated as used by AgeX Group Members or BioTime Group Members only to the extent that such Tax Attribute is necessary to reduce the AgeX Group Federal Income Tax Liability or BioTime Group Federal Income Tax Liability (computed in accordance with Section 3.04 or 3.03) for such year. In calculating the BioTime Stand-Alone Attributes, the utilization of any Tax Attribute carryforward by BioTime Group Members shall be subject to the limitation described in Section 3.03(f) hereof. For purposes of this section, the value of any Tax Attribute shall be equal to the amount of Taxes (computed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof) that would be avoided by the payor if it had sufficient income to fully utilize such Tax Attribute in such year.

(b) If the amount of the AgeX Allocated Attributes is less than the amount of Tax Attributes (as reasonably determined by BioTime) that would have been available to the AgeX Group at the end of such year had the AgeX Group Members not been included in the Consolidated Return and the Combined Returns (the “AgeX Stand-Alone Attributes”), the value of such shortfall, to the extent such shortfall is attributable to the use of the AgeX Group’s Tax Attributes by BioTime Group Members, shall be reflected in the intercompany accounts as an amount payable by BioTime to AgeX. If the amount of the AgeX Allocated Attributes is greater than the AgeX Stand-Alone Attributes, the value of such excess, to the extent such excess is attributable to the use of Tax Attributes of BioTime Group Members by AgeX Group Members during such year, shall be reflected in the intercompany accounts as an amount payable by AgeX to BioTime. For this purpose, a Tax Attribute shall be treated as used by BioTime Group Members or AgeX Group Members only to the extent that such Tax Attribute is necessary to reduce the BioTime Group Federal Income Tax Liability or AgeX Group Federal Income Tax Liability (computed in accordance with Section 3.03 or 3.04) for such year. In calculating the AgeX Stand-Alone Attributes, the utilization of any Tax Attribute carryforward by AgeX Group Members shall be subject to the limitation described in Section 3.04(f) hereof. For purposes of this section, the value of any Tax Attribute shall be equal to the amount of Taxes (computed in accordance with Section 3.04 hereof) that would be avoided by the payor if it had sufficient income to fully utilize such Tax Attribute in such year.

Section 3.10 Subsequent Changes in Treatment of Tax Items. For any taxable year ending prior to the Deconsolidation Year and beginning on or after the Effective Date, in the event of a change in the treatment of any Tax Item of any member of the Consolidated Group or a Combined Group as a result of a Final Determination, BioTime shall calculate (i) the change to the BioTime Group Federal Income Tax Liability or BioTime Group Combined Tax Liability and/or the AgeX Group Federal Income Tax Liability or the AgeX Group Combined Tax Liability and (ii) any change to the Allocated Attributes and/or the Stand-Alone Attributes of the BioTime Group and the AgeX Group, and such changes shall be properly reflected in the intercompany accounts described in Section 3.09 hereof.

Section 3.11 Foreign Corporations. Any Taxes associated with the filing of a separate Tax Return in a foreign jurisdiction with respect to an BioTime Group Member or a AgeX Group Member shall be allocated to and paid directly by such member. Any Taxes and Tax Attributes associated with the filing of a separate Tax Return in a foreign jurisdiction that includes the Tax Items of one or more BioTime Group Members and one or more AgeX Group Members shall be allocated to such members by BioTime in a manner consistent with the principles set forth in this Article III.

(b) For a period of two fiscal years following the Distribution Date, all Tax Returns filed by BioTime and AgeX after the Distribution Date shall be prepared on a basis that is consistent with Pre-Deconsolidation Period practice of BioTime and AgeX (in the absence of a controlling change in law or circumstances), and shall be filed on a timely basis by the Party responsible for such filing under this Agreement.

Except as provided in Section 4.03(b) hereof, all Tax Returns required to be filed for the portion of the Deconsolidation Year ending on the Deconsolidation Date shall be filed by the party who would bear responsibility under Section 2.01 hereof if such Tax Returns were for periods prior to the Deconsolidation Year.

(c) If Deconsolidation occurs for federal Tax purposes but not for Combined Return purposes, i.e., there is more than 50% but less than 80% ownership of AgeX stock by BioTime, the BioTime and AgeX Tax departments will develop procedures consistent with this Agreement for handling such Combined Returns.

With respect to the Deconsolidation Year and all taxable years following the Deconsolidation Year, the BioTime Group Federal Income Tax Liability for such taxable period shall be the Federal Income Taxes for such taxable period, as determined on an BioTime Group Pro Forma Consolidated Return prepared:

(b) except as provided in Section 5.03(e) hereof, using all elections, accounting methods and conventions used on the Consolidated Return for such period;

(d) excluding any Tax Attributes for which BioTime has been compensated pursuant to Section 5.09 hereof;

(e) assuming that the BioTime Group elects not to carry back any net operating losses; and

Section 5.04 AgeX Group Federal Income Tax Liability. With respect to the Deconsolidation Year, the AgeX Group Federal Income Tax Liability for such taxable period shall be the Federal Income Taxes for such taxable period, as determined on an AgeX Group Pro Forma Consolidated Tax Return prepared:

(a) assuming that the members of the AgeX Group were not included in the Consolidated Group and by including only Tax Items of members of the AgeX Group that are included in the Consolidated Return;

(d) excluding any Tax Attributes for which AgeX has been compensated pursuant to Section 5.09 hereof;

(e) assuming that the AgeX Group elects not to carry back any net operating losses; and

Section 5.05 BioTime Group Combined Tax Liability. With respect to the Deconsolidation Year and all taxable years following the Deconsolidation Year, the BioTime Group Combined Tax Liability shall be the sum for such taxable period of the BioTime Group’s liability for Taxes owed with respect to Combined Returns, as determined on the BioTime Group Pro Forma Combined Returns prepared in a manner consistent with the principles and procedures set forth in Section 5.03 hereof, without recalculating the state apportionment factors.

Section 5.06 AgeX Group Combined Tax Liability. With respect to the Deconsolidation Year, the AgeX Group Combined Tax Liability shall be the sum for such taxable period of the AgeX Group’s liability for Taxes owed with respect to Combined Returns, as determined on the AgeX Group Pro Forma Combined Returns prepared in a manner consistent with the principles and procedures set forth in Section 5.04 hereof, without recalculating the state apportionment factors and assuming that Tax Items of the AgeX Group are not included in the Combined Returns of the BioTime Group following the Deconsolidation Date.

Section 5.07 Preparation and Delivery of Pro Forma Tax Returns. Not later than ninety (90) days following the date on which the related Consolidated Return or Combined Return, as the case may be, is filed with the appropriate Tax Authority, BioTime shall prepare and deliver to AgeX pro forma Tax Returns calculating (i) the BioTime Group Federal Income Tax Liability or the BioTime Group Combined Tax Liability, and (ii) the AgeX Group Federal Income Tax Liability or the AgeX Group Combined Tax Liability, which is attributable to the period covered by such filed Tax Return.

Section 5.08 BioTime Intercompany Payables and Receivables; AgeX Payment. The liability of the BioTime Group for the BioTime Group Federal Income Tax Liability and BioTime Group Combined Tax Liability shall be reflected in the intercompany accounts of BioTime. For the Deconsolidation Year, AgeX will pay BioTime for the AgeX Group Federal Income Tax Liability and the AgeX Group Combined Tax Liability within sixty (60) days following the delivery to AgeX by BioTime of a AgeX Group Pro Forma Consolidated Tax Return or a AgeX Group Pro Forma Combined Return, as the case may be, to the extent such Tax liabilities are paid by BioTime or other person who is not a member of the AgeX Group. For the Deconsolidation Year, any payment due from AgeX described in the previous sentence shall be decreased by the cumulative amount of payments made by AgeX to BioTime to fund BioTime’s estimated Tax payments with respect to Taxes for the Deconsolidation Year.

Section 5.09 Credit for Use of Attributes. Not later than sixty (60) days following the filing of the Consolidated Return for the Deconsolidation Year, BioTime shall determine the aggregate amount of the Tax Attributes of the Consolidated Group and all Combined Groups that are allocable to the AgeX Group (the “AgeX Allocated Attributes”) as of the end of such year and shall inform AgeX of such determination.

(a) If the amount of the BioTime Allocated Attributes is less than the amount of Tax Attributes (as reasonably determined by BioTime) that would have been available to the BioTime Group at the end of such year had the BioTime Group Members not been included in the Consolidated Return and the Combined Returns (the “BioTime Stand-Alone Attributes”), the value of such shortfall, to the extent such shortfall is attributable to the use of the BioTime Group’s Tax Attributes by AgeX Group Members, shall be reflected in the intercompany accounts as an amount payable by AgeX to BioTime. If the amount of the BioTime Allocated Attributes is greater than the BioTime Stand-Alone Attributes, the value of such excess, to the extent such excess is attributable to the use of Tax Attributes of AgeX Group Members by BioTime Group Members during such year, shall be reflected in the intercompany accounts as an amount payable by BioTime to AgeX. For this purpose, a Tax Attribute shall be treated as used by AgeX Group Members or BioTime Group Members only to the extent that such Tax Attribute is necessary to reduce the AgeX Group Federal Income Tax Liability or BioTime Group Federal Income Tax Liability (computed in accordance with Section 5.04 or 5.03) for such year. In calculating the Stand-Alone Attributes, the utilization of any Tax Attribute carryforward by BioTime Group Members shall be subject to the limitation described in Section 5.03(f) hereof. For purposes of this section, the value of any Tax Attribute shall be equal to the amount of Taxes (computed in accordance with Section 5.03 hereof) that would be avoided by the payor if it had sufficient income to fully utilize such Tax Attribute in such year.

(b) If the amount of the AgeX Allocated Attributes for the Pre-Deconsolidation Period is less than the amount of Tax Attributes (as reasonably determined by BioTime) that would have been available to the AgeX Group for the Pre-Deconsolidation Period had the AgeX Group Members not been included in the Consolidated Return and the Combined Returns (the “AgeX Stand-Alone Attributes”), the value of such shortfall, to the extent such shortfall is attributable to the use of the AgeX Group’s Tax Attributes by BioTime Group Members, shall be paid by BioTime to AgeX within thirty (30) days of the date the AgeX Allocated Attributes are determined. If the amount of the AgeX Allocated Attributes for the Pre-Deconsolidation Period is greater than the amount of the AgeX Stand-Alone Attributes, the value of such excess shall be paid by AgeX to BioTime within thirty (30) days of the date the AgeX Allocated Attributes are determined. For this purpose, a Tax Attribute shall be treated as used by BioTime Group Members or AgeX Group Members only to the extent that such Tax Attribute is necessary to reduce the BioTime Group Federal Income Tax Liability or AgeX Group Federal Income Tax Liability (computed in accordance with Section 5.03 or 5.04) for such year. In calculating the AgeX Stand-Alone Attributes, the utilization of any Tax Attribute carryforward by AgeX Group Members shall be subject to the limitation described in Section 5.04(f) hereof. For purposes of this section, the value of any Tax Attribute shall be equal to the amount of Taxes (computed in accordance with Section 5.04 hereof) that would be avoided by the payor if it had sufficient income to fully utilize such Tax Attribute in such year.

Section 5.10 Subsequent Changes in Treatment of Tax Items. For the Deconsolidation Year and all taxable years following the Deconsolidation Year, in the event of a change in the treatment of any Tax Item of any member of the Consolidated Group or a Combined Group as a result of a Final Determination, BioTime shall calculate (i) the change to the BioTime Group Federal Income Tax Liability or BioTime Group Combined Tax Liability and (ii) any change to the Allocated Attributes and/or the Stand-Alone Attributes of the BioTime Group, and such changes shall be properly reflected in the intercompany accounts described in Section 5.09(a) hereof. For the Deconsolidation Year, in the event of a change in the treatment of any Tax Item of any member of the Consolidated Group or a Combined Group as a result of a Final Determination, BioTime shall calculate (i) the change to the AgeX Group Federal Income Tax Liability or AgeX Group Combined Tax Liability and (ii) any change to the Allocated Attributes and/or the Stand-Alone Attributes of the AgeX Group and such changes shall be properly reflected in payments from BioTime to AgeX, or from AgeX to BioTime, as the case may be.

Section 5.11 Foreign Corporations. Any Taxes associated with the filing of a separate Tax Return in a foreign jurisdiction with respect to an BioTime Group Member or a AgeX Group Member shall be allocated to and paid directly by such member. For the Deconsolidation Year any Taxes and Tax Attributes associated with the filing of a separate Tax Return in a foreign jurisdiction that includes the Tax Items of one or more BioTime Group Members and one or more AgeX Group Members shall be allocated to such members by BioTime in a manner consistent with the principles set forth in this Article V.

Section 5.12 Allocation of Additional Tax Liabilities.

(a) Restructuring Taxes. Notwithstanding that the Restructuring occurred prior to the Effective Date, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, and except as otherwise provided in the Asset Contribution Agreement and Section 5.12(a)(i) hereof, BioTime shall pay and shall indemnify and hold harmless AgeX and any member of the AgeX Group from and against any and all Restructuring Taxes, without regard to any benefit that any member of the AgeX Group might derive as a result of the payment of the Restructuring Taxes by BioTime. BioTime shall also be liable for all fees, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of, or incident to, any proceedings before any Tax Authority, or any judicial authority, with respect to any amount for which it is liable for under Section 5.12(a) hereof.

(i) In the event any Restructuring Taxes are attributable to a Tainting Act of AgeX or any member of the AgeX Group, then AgeX shall pay and shall indemnify and hold harmless BioTime from and against any and all Restructuring Taxes and from and against any costs whatsoever connected with such Taxes, including, but not limited to, fees, interest, penalties, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. For purposes of this Section 5.12(a)(i), a Restructuring Tax is attributable to a Tainting Act if (1) such Tax would not have been imposed but for the Tainting Act, or (2) the Tainting Act would have independently caused the imposition of such Tax; provided, however, that in no event shall a Restructuring Tax be considered attributable to a Tainting Act to the extent such Tax would not have been incurred but for a breach by BioTime of any warranty, representation or covenant contained in Article VII hereof.

(ii) An indemnification payment required to be made by one Party pursuant to Section 5.12(a) hereof shall be paid in immediately available funds within thirty (30) days after receiving a written demand from the other Party for such payment; however, no Party shall make a written demand for an indemnification payment attributable to Restructuring Taxes under Section 5.12(a) hereof until such Tax liability is established by a Final Determination. Any indemnification payment required to be made by either Party under Section 5.12(a) hereof which is not paid timely shall bear interest (compounded daily) at the Federal short-term rate or rates established pursuant to Section 6621 of the Code for the period during which such payment is due but unpaid.

(b) Dual Consolidated Losses. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, whether before or during the Deconsolidation Year, to the extent a member of the AgeX Group is responsible for a triggering event (as defined in Treasury Regulations § 1.1503-2(g)(2)(iii)(A)) that causes BioTime to recapture and report as income for any Tax period the amount of a dual consolidated loss (as defined in Treasury Regulations § 1.1503-2), AgeX shall pay to BioTime on a timely basis any Tax attributable to the recapture of such dual consolidated loss. AgeX hereby assumes all liability for any such Tax and shall indemnify and hold harmless BioTime and any member of the BioTime Group for such liability; provided, however, to the extent any such recapture is attributable to a triggering event resulting from the Spinoff, AgeX shall not be liable for any Tax resulting from such recapture.

(c) Refunds. Each Party shall be entitled to retain or be paid all refunds of Tax received, whether in the form of payment, credit or otherwise, from any Tax Authority with respect to any Tax for which such Party is responsible under this Article V.

(d) Allocation of Taxable Items. BioTime shall determine the amounts of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit of the AgeX Group for the Pre-Deconsolidation Period that are properly includible in the Consolidated Return for the taxable year which includes the Deconsolidation Date. For all relevant purposes of this Agreement, the members of the AgeX Group and each AgeX Combined Group shall cease to be members of the Consolidated Group as of the end of the Deconsolidation Date, and the AgeX Group shall cause the book of account of the AgeX Group to be closed for accounting and Tax purposes as of the end of the Deconsolidation Date in accordance with BioTime’s direction. In determining consolidated taxable income for the taxable period that ends on the Deconsolidation Date, the income and other items of the AgeX Group shall be determined in good faith by BioTime in accordance with Treasury Regulations §§ 1.1502-76(b)(1), 1.1502-76(b)(2)(i) and 1.1502-76(b)(2)(iv) and no election shall be made under § 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii)(D) to ratably allocate items. However, an allocation shall be made in good faith by BioTime under Treasury Regulations § 1.1502-76(b)(2)(iii) if such allocation is determined by BioTime in good faith to be necessary to appropriately allocate items in the event the Deconsolidation Date occurs on any date other than the last day of any month.

(e) Foreign Tax Credit True-Up. With respect to the Deconsolidation Year, no later than ninety (90) days following the filing of a Consolidated Return, an amended Consolidated Return or a final settlement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, BioTime shall determine the aggregate amount of the “Foreign Tax Credit Adjustment.” The Foreign Tax Credit Adjustment shall be equal to (x) the aggregate amount of foreign Taxes paid by members of the AgeX Group and allowable as foreign tax credits for United States federal income tax purposes for the period commencing January 1, 2011, and ending on the Deconsolidation Date, minus (y) the sum of (i) the amount of reduction of the AgeX Group’s Federal Income Tax Liability pursuant to Section 3.04 and Section 5.04 hereof resulting from foreign tax deductions and credits; plus (ii) the amount of credit that the AgeX Group received with respect to foreign Taxes pursuant to Section 3.09 and Section 5.09 hereof; plus (iii) the amount of the foreign Taxes for the period commencing January 1, 2011, allocated to the AgeX Group upon Deconsolidation pursuant to Treasury Regulations § 1.1502-79(d). If the Foreign Tax Credit Adjustment pursuant to the preceding sentence is a positive amount, BioTime shall pay such amount to the AgeX Group. If the amount determined pursuant to the preceding sentence is a negative amount, the AgeX Group shall pay such amount to BioTime.

Section 5.13 Tax Attributes of AgeX Not Carried Back. With respect to any Tax Attributes incurred by the AgeX Group in a Post-Deconsolidation Period, AgeX shall not, and shall cause each member of the AgeX Group to not, elect to carry back Tax Attributes to a Pre-Deconsolidation Period. In the event the applicable Tax law requires a Tax Attribute of the AgeX Group arising in a Post-Deconsolidation Period to be carried back to a Pre-Deconsolidation Period Tax Return of BioTime or other member of the BioTime Group (such Tax Attribute being a “Required Tax Attribute Carryback”), AgeX shall notify BioTime of such Required Tax Attribute Carryback sixty (60) days prior to the date such Tax Return must be filed and AgeX shall timely provide BioTime with all information reasonably necessary to properly account for such Required Tax Attribute Carryback on such Tax Return. If a Required Tax Attribute Carryback that is reported on a Tax Return filed by BioTime or other member of the BioTime Group produces an actual Tax savings to BioTime or other member of the BioTime Group, BioTime shall pay AgeX an amount equal to such savings within sixty (60) days following the filing of such Tax Return.

(iii) In the event that a judgment of the United States Tax Court or other court of competent jurisdiction results in an adverse determination with respect to the AgeX Restructuring Issue, and BioTime notifies AgeX that it does not intend to appeal such AgeX Restructuring Issue, then AgeX shall have the right to cause BioTime to appeal from such adverse determination at AgeX’s expense.
