Any such election, to be effective, must be made in accordance with applicable regulations and within thirty (30) days following the date of this Award. The Company has made no recommendation to the undersigned with respect to the advisability of making such an election.
b. The award or vesting of the Shares acquired hereunder, and the payment of dividends with respect to such Shares, may give rise to “wages” subject to withholding. The undersigned expressly acknowledges and agrees that his rights hereunder are subject to his promptly paying to the Company in cash (or by such other means as may be acceptable to the Company in its discretion, including, if the Administrator so determines, by the delivery of previously acquired Stock or shares of Stock acquired hereunder or by the withholding of amounts from any payment hereunder) all taxes required to be withheld in connection with such award, vesting or payment.
Certain Tax Matters. (a) The General Partner shall determine all matters concerning allocations for tax purposes not expressly provided for herein in its sole discretion.
(b) The General Partner shall cause to be prepared all federal, state and local tax returns of the Partnership for each year for which such returns are required to be filed and, after approval of such returns by the General Partner, shall cause such returns to be timely filed. 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. Each Partner agrees that he or she shall not, unless he or she provides prior notice of such action to the Partnership, (i) treat, on his or her individual income tax returns, any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit relating to his or her interest in the Partnership in a manner inconsistent with the treatment of such item by the Partnership as reflected on the Form K-1 or other information statement furnished by the Partnership to such Partner for use in preparing his or her income tax returns or (ii) file any claim for refund relating to any such item based on, or which would result in, such inconsistent treatment. 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.
Certain Tax Matters. The Grantee expressly acknowledges the following:

The Company has made no recommendation to the Grantee with respect to the advisability of making such an election.

The Grantee should consult with his or her tax advisor to determine if there is a comparable election to file in the state of his or her residence and whether such a filing is desirable under the circumstances.
(c) The award or vesting of the Restricted Stock acquired hereunder, and the payment of dividends with respect to such shares, may give rise to “wages” subject to withholding. The Grantee expressly acknowledges and agrees that his or her rights hereunder are subject to the Grantee promptly paying to the Company in cash (or by such other means as may be acceptable to the Company in its discretion, including, if the Administrator so determines, by the delivery of previously acquired shares of Stock or shares of Stock acquired hereunder or by the withholding of amounts from any payment hereunder) all taxes required to be withheld in connection with such award, vesting or payment.
Certain Tax Matters. (a) Except as contemplated otherwise by this Agreement, all tax elections and other tax-related decisions required to be made by the Company shall be made by the Board, provided, however, any such tax elections and other tax-related decisions that disproportionately adversely affect a particular Member, shall require such Member’s consent; provided, further, that the Company shall make an election under Section 754 of the Code if requested in writing by a Member.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership Representative shall not take (or refrain from taking) any material action without the consent of the Board, such as making any election available under the BBA Rules, entering into a settlement agreement with a taxing authority, extending any statute of limitations related to income taxes, proposing any modification, and deciding whether and where to litigate any claim governed by the BBA Rules.
(d) In the event of any examinations of the Company’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, the Partnership Representative shall promptly provide each Member a written notice informing the Members that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, is the subject of an examination by a tax authority with r...
