Certain Tax Matters. (a) The Grantee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee’s rights hereunder, including the right to be issued shares of Stock upon the vesting of the Performance Stock Units (or, if applicable, Restricted Stock Units) (or any portion thereof), are subject to the Grantee’s promptly paying, or in respect of any later requirement of withholding being liable promptly to pay at such time as such withholdings are due, to the Company in cash (or by such other means as may be acceptable to the Administrator in its discretion) all taxes required to be withheld, if any (the “Tax Withholding Obligation”). No shares of Stock will be transferred pursuant to the vesting of the Performance Stock Units (or, if applicable, Restricted Stock Units) (or any portion thereof) unless and until the Grantee or the person then holding the Award has remitted to the Company an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, or local withholding tax requirements then due and has committed (and by accepting this Award the Grantee shall be deemed to have committed) to pay in cash all tax withholdings required at any later time in respect of the transfer of such shares, or has made other arrangements satisfactory to the Company with respect to such taxes. The Grantee also authorizes the Company and its subsidiaries to withhold such amount from any amounts otherwise owed to the Grantee, but nothing in this sentence shall be construed as relieving the Grantee of any liability for satisfying his or her obligations under the preceding provisions of this Section.

Such shares will be sold on the date of vesting or as soon thereafter as practicable. Grantee will be responsible for all brokers’ fees and other co...

Certain Tax Matters.

To the extent Treasury Regulations promulgated pursuant to Subchapter K of the Code (including under Sections 704(b) and (c) of the Code) or other applicable law require allocations for tax purposes that differ from the foregoing allocations, the Managing Member may determine the manner in which such tax allocations shall be made so as to comply more fully with such Treasury Regulations or other applicable law and, at the same time, preserve the economic relationships among the Members as set forth in this Agreement.

The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). In addition, this Agreement shall be considered to contain a “qualified income offset” as provided in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

The General Partner shall determine the appropriate treatment of each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Partnership and the accounting methods and conventions under the tax laws of the United States, the several States and other relevant jurisdictions as to the treatment of any such item or any other method or procedure related to the preparation of such tax returns. The General Partner may cause the Partnership to make or refrain from making any and all elections permitted by such tax laws.

In respect of an income tax audit of any tax return of the Partnership, the filing of any amended return or claim for refund in connection with any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit reflected on any tax return of the Partnership, or any administrative or judicial proceedings arising out of or in connection with any such audit, amended return, claim for refund or denial of such claim, (A) the Tax Matters Partner (as defined below) shall be authorized to act for, and his or her decision shall be final and binding upon, the Partnership and all Partners except to the extent a Partner shall properly elect to be excluded from such proceeding pursuant to the Code, (B) all expenses incurred by the Tax Matters Partner in connection therewith (including, without limitation, attorneys’, accountants’ and other experts’ fees and disbursements) shall be expenses of the Partnership and (C) no Partner shal...
Certain Tax Matters. The Company shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless from and against (i) the imposition of excise tax (the "Excise Tax") under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (or any successor provision thereto, the ACode@), on any payment made under this Agreement (including any payment made under this paragraph) and any interest, penalties and additions to tax imposed in connection therewith, and (ii) any federal, state or local income tax imposed on any payment made pursuant to this paragraph. The Executive shall not take the position on any tax return or other filing that any payment made under this Agreement is subject to the Excise Tax, unless, in the opinion of independent tax counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company, there is no reasonable basis for taking the position that any such payment is not subject to the Excise Tax under U.S. tax law then in effect. If the Internal Revenue Service makes a claim that any payment or portion thereof is subject to the Excise Tax, at the Company's election, and the Company's direction and expense, the Executive shall contest such claim; provided, however, that the Company shall advance to the Executive the costs and expenses of such contest, as incurred. For the purpose of determining the amount of any payment under clause (ii) of the first sentence of this paragraph, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation applicable to individuals in the calendar year in which such indemnity payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rates of taxation applicable to individuals as are in effect in the jurisdiction in which the Executive is resident, net of the reduction in federal income taxes that is obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes.
