Each of the representations and warranties of the Parties set forth in this Agreement or in any other document contemplated hereby, or in any certificate delivered hereunder or thereunder, will terminate effective immediately as of the Effective Date such that no claim for breach of any such representation or warranty, detrimental reliance or other right or remedy (whether in contract, in tort or at law or in equity) may be brought with respect thereto after the Effective Date.
7. Tax Matters.
(a) Each of the Parties hereto shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes, treat the sale of the MiningCo Assets in exchange for the Parent Shares and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities as a taxable transaction, and shall file all Tax Returns in accordance with such treatment and not take any Tax related action inconsistent with such treatment, in each case, unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (and analogous provisions of state and local law).
(b) Any sales, use, purchase, transfer, franchise, deed, fixed asset, stamp, documentary stamp, use, or other Taxes and recording charges payable by reason of the sale of the MiningCo Assets or the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Seller and fifty percent (50%) by Buyer, up to a maximum (in the aggregate) of $3,100,000, and thereafter entirely by Seller. No later than five (5) days prior to the due date for filing any such Transfer Tax, Buyer shall pay to Seller Buyer’s portion of such Transfer Taxes, and Seller shall timely pay or cause such Transfer Taxes to be paid, and shall timely file or cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns related to any Transfer Taxes. Buyer and Seller
4
shall reasonably cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts to establish any available exemption from (or reduction in) any Transfer Tax.
(c) For U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes, Buyer, Seller, and their respective Affiliates shall allocate the Parent Shares (and any Assumed Liabilities treated as part of the purchase price for applicable income Tax purposes) among the MiningCo Assets in accordance with a valuation of the MiningCo assets performed by, at Buyer’s sole discretion, either Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, LLC (or a subsidiary thereof) or by Xxxx, LLC (or a subsidiary thereof), or by a nationally recognized valuation firm to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties (the “Allocation”). As soon as commercially practicable, but no later than forty-five (45) days following the purchase and sale of the MiningCo Assets, Buyer and Seller shall retain such valuation firm to perform the valuation, and shall cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the valuation firm, in connection therewith. Buyer and Seller shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to review and provide comments on any draft valuation prepared by the valuation firm, at their respective sole expense, and shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any dispute relating to valuation matters, with any such unresolved dispute between the Parties being decided by the valuation firm. The costs and expenses of the valuation firm shall be borne solely by Xxxxx. The Parties and their respective Affiliates shall file all Tax Returns in accordance with such Allocation and not take any Tax related action inconsistent with the Allocation, in each case, unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (and analogous provisions of state and local law).
(x) Xxxxx and Seller shall reasonably cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any action, audit, litigation, or other proceeding with respect to Taxes, in each case, attributable to the MiningCo Assets.
(e) Except as otherwise provided by Section 7(f), Seller shall prepare and timely file (i) all Tax Returns for the MiningCo Assets for any tax period ending on or before the Effective Date and (ii) all income Tax Returns of Seller, and shall pay any Taxes shown as due on such Tax Returns.
(f) Buyer shall prepare and timely file all Tax Returns for real property and personal property Taxes with respect to the MiningCo Assets assessed for the 2024 calendar year that are due in arrears following the Effective Date (“Retained Property Taxes”). Buyer shall prepare such Tax Returns in a manner consistent with applicable past practice, except to the extent required otherwise by applicable law, and shall provide Seller with a draft of such Tax Returns at least ten business days prior to the filing of any such Tax Return. Buyer shall incorporate any changes reasonably requested by Seller with respect to such Tax Returns. No later than five (5) days prior to the due date for filing any such Tax Returns, Seller shall pay one-twelfth (1/12th) of the amounts of Retained Property Taxes reflected on such Tax Returns to Buyer, and Buyer shall remit such Taxes to the applicable taxing authorities with the filing of such Tax Returns.
(g) Buyer shall not file an amendment to any previously-filed Tax Return with respect Retained Property Taxes unless Xxxxx receives (i) Seller’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided that Seller’s consent shall not be deemed unreasonably withheld conditioned or delayed if such amendment is reasonably expected to increase the Tax liabilities of Seller or its affiliates or increase Seller’s obligations hereunder or (ii) an opinion from a nationally recognized accounting firm or law firm that there is no adequate “reporting position” with respect to any previously-asserted position with respect to which such amendment is being made. Upon a determination that there is no adequate “reporting position” with respect a previously asserted position with respect to which an amendment is being made, Buyer shall provide no less than forty-five (45) days’ notice of such position before filing any such amended Tax Return. In the event Seller disagrees with such Tax position, and the dispute cannot be resolved between the Parties, such dispute shall be submitted to an independent national accounting firm or law firm for resolution, with the costs of such resolution to be evenly split by Xxxxx, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand. The determination of such independent national accounting firm or law firm shall be binding on all Parties and any Tax Return shall be filed consistently with such resolution.
(h) On the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a duly executed IRS From W-9.
5
(i) For purposes of this Agreement, “Tax” shall mean any taxes, imposts, duties, charges, fees, levies or other assessments imposed by any governmental authority of any kind whatsoever, in each case in the nature of a tax (whether payable directly or by withholding and whether disputed or not) and together with any interest, penalties and additions imposed with respect thereto; and “Tax Return” shall mean any return, declaration, statement, report, claim, schedule, form or information return filed or required to be filed with any governmental authority relating to Taxes, including any supplement, schedule or attachment thereto and any amendment thereof.
8. Debtor Reserves and Obligations. Xxxxxx agrees to establish and maintain appropriate reserves for all of its payment and obligations hereunder. In the event that Seller dissolves or seeks to dissolve, Seller will, prior to any dissolution, cause a Debtor Affiliate to assume all of Seller’s obligations hereunder.
9. Further Assurances.
(a) Each of the Parties hereto agrees to execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances, and take such further actions, as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Plan, the Confirmation Order, and the MiningCo Order, which may include, without limitation, other bills of sale or assignments of lease (in recordable form, if applicable) with respect to the Transferred Assets in accordance with the terms hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that any Affiliate of Seller holds any books and records relating to the MiningCo Assets or otherwise related to the MiningCo business prior to the Effective Date, then, upon Buyer written request following discovery thereof, Seller shall cause such Affiliate to transfer to Buyer all of such Affiliate’s right, title, and interest in and to such books and records.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall have up to forty-five (45) days following the Effective Date to designate, by written notice to Seller, any of the Assigned Agreements as rejected (any such Assigned Agreement, a “Rejected Asset”, and such notice, a “Rejection Notice”). Any Rejected Asset the subject of a Rejection Notice shall be deemed to be no longer a Transferred Asset for purposes of this Agreement, shall be automatically reconveyed to Seller, and all liabilities associated with such Rejected Asset shall be Retained Liabilities for purposes of this Agreement on and from the date of the Rejection Notice. Pursuant to Section 9(a), Buyer shall take any such further actions as may be required to cause the reconveyance back to Seller of any Rejected Asset following the issuance of a Rejection Notice.
10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and those other documents expressly referred to herein embody the complete agreement and understanding among the Parties and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.
11. Successor and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries; No Third Party Liability.
(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto, and any purported assignment in violation of this sentence shall be null and void; provided that Buyer may assign all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more of the Buyer Subsidiaries, or to any entity wholly-owned (directly or indirectly) by Buyer; provided, further, that no such assignment shall relieve Buyer of any of its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent such obligation is satisfied by such assignee.
(b) Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
(c) If, following the Effective Date, Seller or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) amalgamate, consolidate with or merge or wind up into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity, or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any person, then, and in each such case,
6
proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Seller shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Agreement.
12. Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

14. Amendment and Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each Party hereto. No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party so waiving. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
15. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
