(b) Vinco shall be responsible for and shall pay, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Cryptyde for, any of the taxes of the Vinco group other than taxes for which Cryptyde is responsible.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party is required to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 2.01, the Indemnified Party shall submit its calculations of the amount required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.01, showing such calculations in sufficient detail so as to permit the Indemnifying Party to understand the calculations. Subject to the following sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party, no later than twenty (20) days after the Indemnifying Party receives the Indemnified Party’s calculations, the amount that the Indemnifying Party is required to pay the Indemnified Party under this Section 2.01. If the Indemnifying Party disagrees with such calculations, it must notify the Indemnified Party of its disagreement in writing within fifteen (15) days of receiving such calculations.

(d) For all Tax purposes, Vinco and Cryptyde agree to treat (i) any payment required by this Agreement (other than payments with respect to interest accruing after the Effective Time) as either a contribution by Vinco to Cryptyde or a distribution by Cryptyde to Vinco as the case may be, occurring immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) any payment of interest or nonfederal Taxes by or to a Tax Authority as taxable or deductible, as the case may be, to the party entitled under this Agreement to retain such payment or required under this Agreement to make such payment, in either case except as otherwise mandated by applicable law.

(e) The amount of any indemnification payment pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall be reduced by the amount of any reduction in Taxes actually realized by the Indemnified Party by the end of the taxable year in which the indemnity payment is made, and shall be increased if and to the extent necessary to ensure that, after all required Taxes on the indemnity payment are paid (including Taxes applicable to any increases in the indemnity payment under this Section 2.01(e)), the Indemnified Party receives the amount it would have received if the indemnity payment was not taxable.

(f) The determination of the Tax liabilities of Vinco and Cryptyde, respectively, shall be made in a manner consistent with the Separation Agreement.

Section 2.02. Determination of Taxes Attributable to the Spin-Off Businesses.

(a) For purposes of Section 2.01(a)(ii), the amount of Taxes attributable to the Spin-Off Businesses shall be determined by Cryptyde on a pro forma Combined Tax Return of Vinco Group prepared: (i) assuming that the members of the Vinco Group were not included in the group that filed the relevant Combined Tax Return; (ii) including only Tax items of members of the Vinco Group that were included in the relevant Combined Tax Return; (iii) using all elections, accounting methods, and conventions used on the relevant Combined Tax Return for such period; (iv) applying the highest statutory marginal corporate income Tax rate in effect for the relevant taxable period; (v) assuming that the Vinco Group elects not to carry back any net operating losses; and (vi) assuming that the Vinco Group’s utilization of any Tax Attribute carryforward or carryback is limited to the Tax Attributes of the Vinco Group that would be available if the Tax liability of Vinco for each prior taxable year were determined in accordance with this Section 2.02.

(b) The Parties shall cooperate in good faith in order to jointly determine the allocation of items of income and expense and intercompany eliminations for purposes of preparing the pro forma Combined Tax Return of Vinco pursuant to Section 2.02(a).

The Parties shall cooperate in: (i) determining the amount of such Taxes; (ii) providing all available exemption certificates; and (iii) preparing and timely filing any and all required Tax Returns for or with respect to such Taxes with any and all appropriate Tax Authorities.

Section 2.04. Treatment of Equity Awards.

(a) To the extent permitted by law, income Tax deductions with respect to the issuance, exercise, vesting or settlement after the Distribution Date of any Cryptyde equity awards or Vinco equity awards shall be claimed: (i) in the case of an active officer or employee, solely by the group that employs such officer or employee at the time of such issuance, exercise, vesting, or settlement, as applicable; (ii) in the case of a former officer or employee, solely by the group that was the last to employ such former officer or employee; and (iii) in the case of a director or former director (who is not an officer or employee or former officer or employee of a member of either group), (A) solely by the Cryptyde Group if such person was, at any time before or after the Distribution, a director of any member of the Cryptyde Group, and (B) in any other case, solely by the Vinco Group.

(b) If, notwithstanding clause (a), the Vinco Group actually utilizes any deductions for a taxable period ending after the Distribution Date with respect to (i) the issuance, exercise, vesting or settlement after the Distribution Date of any Cryptyde equity awards, or (ii) any liability with respect to compensation required to be paid or satisfied by, or otherwise allocated to, any member of the Cryptyde Group in accordance with any Transaction Document, Vinco shall promptly remit an amount equal to the overall net reduction in actual cash Taxes paid by the Vinco Group (determined on a “with and without” basis) resulting from the event giving rise to such deduction in the year of such event. If a Tax Authority subsequently reduces or disallows the use of such a deduction by the Vinco Group, Cryptyde shall return an amount equal to the overall net increase in Tax liability of the Vinco Group owing to the Tax Authority to the remitting party.

(c) For any taxable period (or portion thereof), except as Cryptyde may at any time determine in its reasonable discretion, Cryptyde shall satisfy, or shall cause to be satisfied, all applicable withholding and reporting responsibilities (including all income, payroll, or other Tax reporting related to income to any current or former employees) with respect to the issuance, exercise, vesting or settlement of Cryptyde equity awards that settle with or with respect to stock of Cryptyde.

(d) For any taxable period (or portion thereof), Vinco shall satisfy, or shall cause to be satisfied, all applicable withholding and reporting responsibilities (including all income, payroll, or other Tax reporting related to income to any current or former employees) with respect to the exercise, vesting or settlement of Vinco equity awards that settle with or with respect to stock of Vinco. Cryptyde and Vinco acknowledge and agree that the Parties shall cooperate with each other and with third-party providers to effectuate withholding and remittance of Taxes, as well as required Tax reporting, in a timely manner.

Section 2.05. Tax Refunds. Cryptyde shall be entitled to any refund (and any interest thereon received from the applicable Tax Authority) of Taxes for which Cryptyde is responsible for hereunder, Vinco shall be entitled to any refund (and any interest thereon received from the applicable Tax Authority) of Taxes for which Vinco is responsible for hereunder, and a Party receiving a refund to which the other Party is entitled hereunder shall pay over such refund to such other Party within twenty (20) days after such refund is received.

Section 2.06. Audits and Proceedings.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if after the Distribution Date, an Indemnified Party receives any notice, letter, correspondence, claim, or decree from any Tax Authority (a “Tax Notice”) and, upon receipt of such Tax Notice, believes it has suffered or potentially could suffer any Tax liability for which it is indemnified pursuant to Section 2.01, the Indemnified Party shall deliver such Tax Notice to the Indemnifying Party within ten (10) days of the receipt of such Tax Notice; provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnified Party to provide the Tax Notice to the Indemnifying Party shall not affect the indemnification rights of the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 2.01, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to deliver such Tax Notice. If the Indemnifying Party fails within a reasonable time after notice to defend any such Tax Notice or the resulting audit or proceeding as provided herein, the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the results obtained by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith. The Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party the amount of any Tax liability within fifteen (15) days after a Final Determination of such Tax liability.

(b) If after the Distribution Date, Cryptyde or Vinco receive a Tax Notice that could have an impact on the other Party, Cryptyde or Vinco, as applicable, shall deliver such Tax Notice to the other Party within ten (10) days of the receipt of such Tax Notice.

The Parties shall jointly determine the allocation of such Tax Attributes arising in Pre-Distribution Periods as soon as reasonably practicable following the Distribution Date, and hereby agree to compute all Taxes for Post-Distribution Periods consistently with that determination unless otherwise required by a Final Determination.
