ARTICLE II. ALLOCATION OF TAX LIABILITIES
SECTION 2.1. Tax Obligations of CenTra. CenTra agrees to pay the Consolidated Income Taxes arising from filing all Consolidated Returns. In the event that LINC or any of its subsidiaries, or successors in interest thereto, directly pays, or causes to pay all or a portion of the Consolidated Income Taxes arising from the filing of such Consolidated Return, CenTra shall promptly reimburse LINC to the extent such payment exceeds LINC’s allocable Consolidated Income Taxes (including any liability pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6), as determined pursuant to Section 2.2.
SECTION 2.2. Certain Income Tax Obligations of LINC. For any taxable period in which LINC is included in a Consolidated Return, LINC shall pay to CenTra a sum equal to the amount of Income Taxes that would otherwise be payable to the IRS or other Taxing Authority with respect to the LINC Subgroup’s taxable income, computed as if such group filed a separate consolidated return with LINC as the common parent.
SECTION 2.3. Changes in Prior Year’s Tax Liabilities. In the event that the Income Tax liability of the LINC Subgroup used in calculating amounts payable under Section 2.2 is increased or decreased through the mechanism of an amended Tax Return or Tax Returns, or by reason of the examination of the Tax Returns by the IRS or other Taxing Authority, the amount due from LINC for payment of Taxes under Section 2.2 shall be recomputed by CenTra to reflect the adjustments to taxable income, tax and tax credits for the taxable year. In accordance with such recomputations and no later than the date CenTra pays, receives or is otherwise charged or credited funds by the IRS or other Taxing Authority, additional sums shall be paid promptly by LINC to CenTra, or by CenTra to LINC, as applicable.
SECTION 2.4. Determination of Sums Due From and Payable to CenTra. LINC and CenTra shall cooperate in determining the sums due from and payable to CenTra with respect to Income Taxes under the foregoing provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 2.5. Intentionally Left Blank.
SECTION 2.6. Indemnity. (a) CenTra shall indemnify LINC from all liability for (i) Income Taxes of the Affiliated Group for all periods (not including Income Taxes of LINC or any LINC Subsidiary which are covered by Sections 2.2 and 2.3) and (ii) Income Taxes resulting from the Distribution or the Special Dividend.
(b) LINC shall indemnify CenTra from all liability for (i) Income Taxes for which LINC is liable pursuant to Section 2.2 and 2.3, (ii) Other Taxes and any Income Taxes not otherwise covered by this Article II (excluding any such Taxes covered by Section 4.1) of LINC or any LINC Subsidiary for any taxable period ending on or before the Distribution Date, and (iii) any Taxes of LINC or any LINC Subsidiary for any taxable period ending after the Distribution Date.
SECTION 2.7. Refunds. (a) Subject to Section 3.5, if a Party receives a refund, offset, credit, or other benefit (including interest received thereon) (a “Refund”) of Tax which the other Party would have been obligated to indemnify had the Refund been a payment, then the Party receiving the Refund shall promptly pay the amount of the Refund to the other Party, less reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such Refund, including any Taxes on such Refund or interest thereon.
4
(b) Each Party shall, if reasonably requested by the other Party, cause the relevant entity to file for and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain and expedite the receipt of any refund to which such requesting Party is entitled under this Section 2.7.
SECTION 2.8. Contests. (a) In the case of a Proceeding that relates to Taxes for which CenTra is responsible under this Agreement, CenTra shall have the sole right to control the conduct of such Proceeding.
(b) In the case of a Proceeding that relates to Taxes for which LINC is responsible under this Agreement, LINC shall have the sole right to control the conduct of such Proceeding.
(c) In the case of a Proceeding that relates to a Straddle Period of LINC or the LINC Subsidiaries, the Parties shall use reasonable efforts to cause such Proceedings to be bifurcated between the period ending on the Distribution Date and the period beginning after the Distribution Date. If the Parties are able to cause the Proceeding to be so bifurcated, then Sections 2.8(a) and (b) hereof shall govern the control of such Proceedings. To the extent that the Parties are unable to cause such bifurcation, CenTra and LINC shall jointly control such Proceedings.
(d) After the Distribution Date, each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing upon receipt of written notice of the commencement of any Proceeding or of any demand or claim upon it, which, if determined adversely, would be grounds for indemnification from such other Party pursuant to this Agreement or could reasonably be expected to have an adverse tax effect on the other Party. Each Party shall, on a timely basis, keep the other Party informed of all developments in the Proceeding and provide such other Party with copies of all pleadings, briefs, orders, and other correspondence pertaining thereto.
SECTION 2.9. Treatment of Payments; After Tax Basis. (a) CenTra and LINC agree to treat any indemnification payments (other than payments of interest pursuant to Section 2.9(c)) pursuant to this Agreement as either a capital contribution or a distribution, as the case may be, between CenTra and LINC occurring immediately prior to the Distribution. If the receipt or accrual of any such payment (other than payments of interest pursuant to Section 2.9(c)) results in taxable income to the indemnified Party, such payment shall be increased so that, after the payment of any Taxes with respect to the payment, the indemnified Party shall have realized the same net amount it would have realized had the payment not resulted in taxable income.
(b) To the extent that any Indemnified Liability gives rise to a deduction, credit or other Tax benefit that is actually realized to the indemnified Party, the amount of any payment made under this Article II shall be decreased by taking into account any resulting reduction in Taxes of the indemnified Party. If a reduction in Taxes of the indemnified Party occurs in a taxable period following the period in which the indemnification payment is made, the indemnified Party shall promptly repay the indemnifying Party the amount of such reduction (including any portion of a Refund attributable to interest) when actually realized.
5
(c) Payments made pursuant to this Agreement that are not made within the period prescribed in this Agreement or, if no period is prescribed, within thirty (30) days after demand for payment is made (the “Payment Period”) shall bear interest for the period from and including the date immediately following the last date of the Payment Period through and including the date of payment at a per annum rate equal to 5%. Such interest will be payable at the same time as the payment to which it relates and shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days for which due.
SECTION 2.10. Agent. Subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, LINC hereby irrevocably designates, and agrees to cause each of its Subsidiaries to so designate, CenTra as its sole and exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact to take such action (including execution of documents) as CenTra, in its sole discretion, may deem appropriate in any and all matters (including audits) relating to any Tax Return relating to Income Taxes for which CenTra has an indemnification obligation under this Article II, provided that CenTra does not dispute its indemnification obligation.
SECTION 2.11. Cooperation. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.7, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate with one another in a timely manner in any Proceeding involving any matter that may result in an Indemnified Liability. The Parties agree that such cooperation shall include, without limitation, making available to the other Party, during normal business hours, all books, records and information, officers and employees (without substantial interruption of employment) necessary or useful in connection with any such judicial or administrative Proceeding. The Party requesting or otherwise entitled to any books, records, information, officers or employees pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall bear all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (except reimbursement of salaries, employee benefits and general overhead) incurred in connection with providing such books, records, information, officers or employees.
ARTICLE III. RETURNS AND TAXES ATTRIBUTABLE TO LINC
SECTION 3.1. CenTra’s Responsibility for the Preparation of Tax Returns and for the Payment of Taxes. (a) CenTra shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed all Income Tax Returns of LINC and any LINC Subsidiary for all periods ending on or before the Distribution Date. Without affecting the indemnification obligations of CenTra and LINC under this Agreement, in the event that CenTra fails to prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed any Tax Return that it is required to file pursuant to this Section 3.1(a), LINC shall have the right, but not the obligation, to prepare and file all such Tax Returns at CenTra’s expense.
(b) With respect to Income Tax Returns that are to be prepared and filed by CenTra pursuant to the preceding paragraph (including separate returns of LINC and any LINC Subsidiary as included in a Consolidated Return), CenTra shall provide a copy of such Tax Returns to LINC within a reasonable time period before the due date for filing of such Tax Returns.
6
(c) To the extent that LINC or any LINC Subsidiary is included in any Consolidated Return for a taxable period that includes the Distribution Date, CenTra shall include in such Consolidated Return the results of LINC and the LINC Subsidiaries on the basis of the Closing of the Books Method. To the extent permitted by law or administrative practice with respect to other Income Tax Returns, the taxable period relating to LINC and any LINC Subsidiary shall be treated as ending on the Distribution Date, and if the taxable period does not, in fact, end on the Distribution Date, the Parties shall apportion all tax items between the portions of the taxable period before and after the Distribution Date on the Closing of the Books Method.
SECTION 3.2. LINC’s Responsibility for the Preparation of Tax Returns and for the Payment of Taxes. LINC shall prepare and file all Tax Returns relating to Other Taxes of LINC or any LINC Subsidiary that have not been filed before the Distribution Date. LINC shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed all Tax Returns of LINC or any LINC Subsidiary for periods commencing after the Distribution Date.
SECTION 3.3. Responsibility for the Preparation of Straddle Period Income Tax Returns and for the Payment of Straddle Period Income Taxes. (a) LINC shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed all Income Tax Returns of LINC or any LINC Subsidiary for any Straddle Period. All such Income Tax Returns that are to be prepared and filed by LINC pursuant to this paragraph shall be submitted to CenTra within a reasonable time period before the due date for filing of such Income Tax Returns. CenTra shall have the right to review such Tax Returns and to review all work papers and procedures used to prepare any such Tax Return. If CenTra, within ten (10) business days after delivery of any such Tax Return, notifies LINC in writing that it objects to any of the items in such Tax Return, CenTra and LINC shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute and, if they are unable to do so, the disputed items shall be resolved (within a reasonable time, taking into account the deadline for filing such Tax Return) by an internationally recognized independent accounting firm chosen by both CenTra and LINC. Upon resolution of all such items, the relevant Straddle Period Tax Return shall be filed on that basis. The costs, fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by CenTra and LINC.
(b) LINC shall be liable for the Income Taxes shown on the Income Tax Returns filed pursuant to Section 3.3(a).
SECTION 3.4. Manner of Preparation. All Income Tax Returns filed on or after the Distribution Date shall be prepared in a manner that is consistent with the Ruling and advice rendered by CenTra’s and LINC’s tax advisors, or any other rulings obtained from other Taxing Authorities in connection with the Distribution (in the absence of a Final Determination to the contrary) and shall be filed on a timely basis (including pursuant to extensions) by the Party responsible for such filing under this Agreement. In the absence of a Final Determination to the contrary, a controlling change in law or circumstances, or accounting method changes pursuant to applications that are approved by the IRS, all Income Tax Returns of LINC and its Subsidiaries for tax periods commencing prior to the Distribution Date shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the elections, accounting methods, conventions, assumptions and principles of taxation used with respect to LINC or the LINC Subsidiaries for the most recent taxable periods for which Tax Returns of the Affiliated Group have been filed.
7
SECTION 3.5. Carrybacks. To the extent permitted by law, LINC and its Subsidiaries shall elect to forego a carry back of any net operating losses, capital losses or credits for any taxable period ending after the Distribution Date to a taxable period, or portion thereof, ending on or before the Distribution Date. If and to the extent that LINC or any of its Subsidiaries is not permitted by applicable law to forego such carryback and requests in writing that CenTra obtain a refund with respect to such carryback, then (a) CenTra shall take all reasonable measures to obtain a refund with respect to such carryback (including by filing an amended Tax Return) and (b) to the extent that CenTra receives a refund of Taxes (including interest received thereon) attributable to such carryback, CenTra shall pay such refund to LINC. CenTra shall be entitled to reduce the amount of any such refund for its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refund, including any Taxes on receipt of such refund or interest thereon.
SECTION 3.6. Retention of Records; Access. (a) CenTra and LINC shall, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to, retain adequate records, documents, accounting data and other information (including computer data) necessary for the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns required to be filed by CenTra or LINC and for any Proceeding relating to such Tax Returns or to any Taxes payable by CenTra or LINC.
(b) CenTra and LINC shall, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to, provide reasonable access to (i) all records, documents, accounting data and other information (including computer data) necessary for the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns required to be filed by CenTra or LINC and for any Proceeding relating to such Tax Returns or to any Taxes payable by CenTra or LINC and (ii) its personnel and premises, for the purpose of the preparation, review or audit of such Tax Returns, or in connection with any Proceeding, as reasonably requested by either CenTra or LINC.
(c) The obligations set forth above in Sections 3.6(a) and 3.6(b) shall continue until the longer of (i) the time of a Final Determination or (ii) expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations, to which the records and information relate. For purposes of the preceding sentence, each Party shall assume that no applicable statute of limitations has expired unless such Party has received notification or otherwise has actual knowledge that such statute of limitations has expired.
SECTION 3.7. Confidentiality; Ownership of Information; Privileged Information. Upon reasonable notice, each of CenTra and LINC, shall from and after the Distribution Date, afford to each other and to the other Party’s representatives, reasonable access, during normal business hours, in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with one another’s respective business and operations, to its records and information for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party shall be required to provide any information to the extent that any such Party is obligated to keep such information confidential or otherwise not to provide such information or to the extent that such access would constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege. Each of CenTra and LINC shall hold, and shall direct its representatives to hold, any and all information received from the other, directly or indirectly, in confidence.
