(c) The Parties agree that whenever it is necessary for purposes of this Section 5.2 to determine the amount of any Taxes imposed or incurred by or with respect to the contribution of the Interests for a taxable period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) that is allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on or before the Closing Date, the determination shall be made, in the case of property or ad valorem or franchise Taxes (which are measured by, or based solely upon, capital, debt, or a combination thereof), by prorating such Taxes ratably on a per diem basis and, in the case of other Taxes, by assuming that such portion of the Straddle Period ending on or prior to the Closing Date constitutes a separate taxable period applicable to the Company and by taking into account the actual taxable events occurring during such period (except that exemptions, allowances, and deductions for a Straddle Period that are calculated on an annual or periodic basis, such as the deduction for depreciation, shall be apportioned to the period prior to and including the Closing Date ratably on a per diem basis).

Certain Tax Matters. The Participant expressly acknowledges that because this Award consists of an unfunded and unsecured promise by the Company to deliver Shares in the future, subject to the terms hereof, it is not possible to make a so-called “83(b) election” with respect to this Award. The Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Participant’s rights hereunder, including the right to be issued Shares upon the vesting and settlement of this Award (or any portion thereof), are subject to the Participant’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 Committee in its discretion) all taxes required to be withheld, if any, in respect of this Award. The Participant shall, at his or her election, be permitted to satisfy the statutory minimum amount of such tax obligations by (i) authorizing the Company to withhold a number of Shares or (ii) transferring to the Company shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant, in each case, having an aggregate Fair Market Value (measured on the date such Shares would otherwise be delivered or are transferred to the Company, as applicable) sufficient to satisfy such obligations. No Shares will be transferred in satisfaction of this Award (or any portion thereof) unless and until the Participant or the person then holding this Award has remitted to the Company an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, or local requirements with respect to tax withholdings then due and has committed (and by holding this Award the Participant 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 Committee with respect to the payment of such taxes. The Participant also authorizes the Company and its Affiliates to withhold such amounts from any amounts otherwise payable to the Participant, but nothing in this sentence shall be construed as relieving the Participant of any liability for satisfying his or her obligations under the preceding provisions of this Section 5.

Any tax returns described in this Section 4.01(d) shall be complete and correct in all material respects and shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the past practice of the Company and in a manner that does not distort taxable income (e.g., by deferring income or accelerating deductions); provided that no Post-Signing Returns shall be filed with any taxing authority without Parent’s prior written consent.
(ii) The Company shall deliver to Parent at or prior to the Closing a certificate, in form and substance satisfactory to Parent, duly executed and acknowledged, certifying that the payment of the Merger Consideration and any payments made in respect of the Appraisal Shares pursuant to the terms of this Agreement are exempt from withholding pursuant to the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8(a) and except as otherwise provided in Appendix C, if the Independent Tax Advisor reasonably determines that Executive would receive, in the aggregate, a greater amount of the Total Payments on an after-tax basis (after including and taking into account all applicable federal, state, and local income, employment and other applicable taxes and the Excise Tax) if the Total Payments were not reduced or eliminated pursuant to Section 8(a), then no such reduction or elimination shall be made notwithstanding that all or any portion of the Total Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax.
(c) For purposes of determining which of Section 8(a) and Section 8(b) shall be given effect, the determination of which of the Total Payments shall be reduced or eliminated to avoid the Excise Tax shall be made by the Independent Tax Advisor, provided that the Independent Tax Advisor shall reduce or eliminate, as the case may be, the Total Payments in the following order (and within the category described in each of the following Sections 8(c)(i) through 8(c)(v), in reverse order beginning with the Total Payments which are to be paid farthest in time except as otherwise provided in Section 8(c):

The Independent Accountant shall resolve any disputed items within twenty (20) days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require.

The costs, fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne equally by the Parties.

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) All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company shall be allocated among the Members for Federal, state and local income tax purposes in the same manner as such items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit shall be allocated among the Members pursuant to this Agreement, except as may otherwise be provided herein or by the Code or other applicable law. 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 may cause the Partnership to make or refrain from making any and all elections permitted by such tax laws.
