Purchase Price Allocation Sample Clauses
The Purchase Price Allocation clause defines how the total purchase price in a transaction will be distributed among the various assets or components being acquired. Typically, this involves assigning specific values to tangible and intangible assets, such as equipment, inventory, intellectual property, or goodwill, often in accordance with tax regulations or accounting standards. By clearly outlining the allocation, this clause helps both parties comply with tax reporting requirements and minimizes the risk of future disputes regarding asset values or tax liabilities.

Purchase Price Allocation. (a) The Final Closing Aggregate Consideration (plus any assumed liabilities and other items required to be taken into account for such purpose) shall be allocated among the Shares and the assets of the Group Companies in accordance with the principles of Sections 1060 and 338 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder and this Section 10.4 (the “Allocation”).
(b) Within 60 days after the determination of the Final Closing Aggregate Consideration, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a draft of the Allocation (the “Draft Allocation”), together with supporting documentation, to allow Purchaser to review and comment on the Draft Allocation. Purchaser shall review the Draft Allocation and provide Seller with comments within 40 days after the date that Purchaser received the Draft Allocation. Seller shall consider in good faith all of Purchaser’s reasonable comments to the Draft Allocation.
(c) Unless Purchaser objects to the Draft Allocation within the 40 days after the date that Purchaser received the Draft Allocation, the Draft Allocation shall be binding on the Parties without further adjustment, absent fraud or mathematical error (the “Final Allocation”). If Purchaser objects to the Draft Allocation within the 40 days after receiving the Draft Allocation, the disputed items shall be resolved pursuant to Section 10.5 and the resulting allocation shall become the Final Allocation.
(d) Purchaser, Seller and the Group Companies shall file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Final Allocation and shall not make any inconsistent statement or adjustment on any Tax Return or during the course of any Tax-related matter, or otherwise take any Tax position inconsistent with the Final Allocation, unless required to do so pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any analogous provision of state, local or foreign Law); provided that no such determination shall have any effect on the Final Closing Aggregate Consideration and the Parties hereby agree that no adjustment shall be made to any such payment.
(e) If the Final Closing Aggregate Consideration is adjusted pursuant to this Agreement, the Final Allocation shall be adjusted as appropriate and Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in good faith in making any such adjustments.
Purchase Price Allocation. (a) The consideration paid hereunder (including the liabilities of the Company to the extent required by applicable Law) shall be allocated among the assets of the Company using their fair market values as of the Closing Date determined consistent with the allocation as set forth on Schedule 2.5 (the “Allocation Schedule”). The parties shall each adopt and utilize the fair market values on the Allocation Schedule for purposes of filing any applicable Tax forms and all federal, state and other Tax Returns filed be each of them (unless otherwise required by Law), and each of them will not take any position inconsistent therewith upon examination of any such Tax Return, in any audit, Proceeding or otherwise with respect to such Tax Returns (unless otherwise required by Law). The parties hereto agree to provide promptly the other with any other information required to complete any of such applicable Tax forms.
(b) Any payment made under Section 11.2 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price unless a determination (as defined in Section 1313 of the Code) with respect to the Indemnified Party causes any such payment not to constitute an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal income Tax purposes. In the event of an adjustment to the Purchase Price as a result of a payment made under Section 11.2, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall amend the Allocation Schedule consistent with the items to which such payment relates or, if such payment does not relate to any specific item, on a pro rata basis based upon the percentage allocations to each asset category as set forth in the Allocation Schedule. The Allocation Schedule, as the same may be amended in accordance with this Section 2.5(b) shall, for federal and state income Tax purposes, be binding on the Sellers, Buyer and the Company. Sellers, Buyer and the Company will file their respective Tax Returns in accordance with such Allocation Schedule and shall not take any position inconsistent with such Allocation Schedule, unless the Sellers’ Representative or Buyer, as the case may be, reasonably determines (and notifies the other parties to this Agreement) that such allocation is contrary to applicable Law.
Purchase Price Allocation. The Purchase Price and any other items, including liabilities of the Company that are treated as purchase price for Tax purposes (collectively, the “Allocable Purchase Price”) shall be allocated between and among the assets of the Company as of the Closing Date in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code. Within one hundred and twenty (120) days following to the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a properly completed allocation of the Allocable Purchase Price among the assets of the Company held as of the Closing Date (the “Allocation Schedule”). The Allocation Schedule shall be deemed final unless the Purchaser notifies the Seller in writing of any disagreement with the Allocation Schedule within thirty (30) days following receipt of such schedule. The Seller and the Purchaser shall cooperate reasonably and in good faith in order to reach agreement as to the allocation of the Allocable Purchase Price. If the Purchaser and the Seller are unable to agree within thirty (30) days of the receipt by the Seller of such written notice, the parties shall retain a nationally recognized accounting or valuation firm to which the Parties agree (the “Independent Accountants”) to resolve their dispute (the Allocation Schedule (if Purchaser does not notify the Seller of any disagreement) or the finally determined allocation schedule (if Purchaser does notify the Seller of one or more disagreements and agreement is reached between the Parties or finally determined by the Independent Accountants), the “Final Allocation Schedule”). Any cost of the Independent Accountants shall be shared equally by the Seller and the Purchaser. The applicable Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the Final Allocation Schedule to the extent permitted by applicable Law. The Purchaser and the Seller, as applicable, shall give prompt notice to the Seller or the Purchaser, as applicable, the commencement of any Tax audit or the assertion of any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Entity that challenges the allocation reflected on the Final Allocation Schedule.
Purchase Price Allocation. Within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller shall use their good faith efforts to agree upon the allocation (the “Allocation”) of the Purchase Price (plus Assumed Liabilities, to the extent properly taken into account under the IRC), as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.2, among the Assets for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income Tax purposes in accordance with Section 1060 of the IRC and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve any dispute regarding the Allocation within such one hundred eighty (180) day period, such dispute shall be resolved promptly by the CPA Firm, the costs of which shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller. If the Purchase Price is adjusted pursuant to this Agreement, the Allocation shall be adjusted as mutually agreed by Buyer and Seller. Buyer and Seller covenant and agree that (a) Buyer and Seller shall file all Tax Returns (including, but not limited to, IRS Form 8594) consistent with the Allocation, and (b) neither Buyer nor Seller will take any Tax position before any Governmental Body or in any Proceeding with respect to Tax that is in any way inconsistent with such Allocation; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent Buyer or Seller from settling any proposed Tax deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Body based upon or arising out of the Allocation, and neither Buyer nor Seller shall be required to litigate before any court any proposed Tax deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Body challenging such Allocation. Each of Buyer and Seller agrees to provide the other promptly with any other information reasonably required to complete Form 8594 and Form 8883 (and any similar forms required for state or local Tax purposes). Each of Buyer and Seller shall notify the other in the event of an examination, audit or other proceeding regarding the Allocation determined under this Section 11.1.
Purchase Price Allocation. (a) As soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a proposed allocation of the Purchase Price by country based on an estimate of the fair market values of the Purchased Assets and, if required by applicable Law, an allocation by asset category within a particular country (together the “Estimated Allocation”). Subject to Section 6.04(a), during the fifteen (15) day period following delivery of the Estimated Allocation, Seller shall make its Representatives reasonably and timely available to Purchaser, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and their respective Representatives to discuss the Estimated Allocation. The Estimated Allocation shall be prepared in accordance with the principles of Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. If Purchaser does not deliver written notice of any dispute (an “Allocation Dispute Notice”) within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Estimated Allocation, the Estimated Allocation shall be deemed the Final Allocation for all purposes hereunder. Prior to the end of such fifteen (15) day period, Purchaser may accept the Estimated Allocation by delivering written notice to that effect to Seller and ▇▇▇▇▇▇, in which case the Estimated Allocation shall be deemed the Final Allocation for all purposes hereunder when such notice is given. If Purchaser delivers an Allocation Dispute Notice within such fifteen (15) day period, the Parties and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall use reasonable best efforts to resolve such dispute during the thirty (30) day period following Seller’s receipt of the Allocation Dispute Notice from Purchaser. If the Parties and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ do not agree upon a final resolution with respect to the Estimated Allocation within such fifteen (15) day period, then the Estimated Allocation shall be submitted immediately to an internationally recognized, independent accounting or valuation firm reasonably acceptable to the Parties and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Allocation Firm”). The Allocation Firm shall be requested to render a determination of the applicable dispute within fifteen (15) days after referral of the matter to such Allocation Firm, which determination must be in writing and must set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis therefor. The determination of the Allocation Firm shall be final and binding, absent manifest error. Any fees payable to the Allocation Firm shall be borne equally by Seller and Purchaser.

Purchase Price Allocation. Within one hundred and eighty (180) days following the last day of the month in which the Closing occurs, or, as Seller and Purchaser may otherwise agree, Purchaser shall prepare an allocation of the Purchase Price (and all other allocable costs) and Assumed Liabilities among the Purchased Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. law, as appropriate) pursuant to the methodology set forth on Schedule 10.1 (the “Allocation”). Purchaser shall submit the Allocation to Seller for approval. Purchaser will make available to Seller and its accountant all records of work papers used in preparing the Allocation. Seller shall have thirty (30) days to review the Allocation. If Seller does not deliver written notice to Purchaser of any disagreement with Purchaser’s calculations within such thirty (30) day review period, then the Allocation shall become final. If Seller disagrees with any item set forth in Purchaser’s Allocation, the parties will have fifteen (15) days to attempt to mutually resolve the disagreement. If any item remains in dispute at the end of the fifteen (15) day period, the dispute will be submitted to and settled by the Accounting Mediator. Seller and Purchaser shall jointly engage the Accounting Mediator to review this Agreement and to resolve the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating the Allocation. In making such calculation, the Accounting Mediator shall, acting as an expert and not an arbiter, consider only those items or amounts in Purchaser’s calculation of the Allocation as to which Seller has disagreed. The Accounting Mediator’s determination will be based solely on presentations by Seller and Purchaser and applicable Tax Legal Requirements, and the Accounting Mediator shall deliver to Seller and Purchaser as promptly as practicable (but in any event within thirty (30) days of its engagement) a report setting forth such calculation. Such report shall be final and binding upon Seller and Purchaser. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Mediator shall be borne equally by Seller and Purchaser. Purchaser, the Selling Parties and their Affiliates agree (i) that the Allocation shall represent the fair market values of the Purchased Assets, (ii) to prepare and file all Tax Returns (including, but not limited to, IRS Form 8594) in a manner consistent with the Allocation, and (iii) not to take any Tax position (whether in Tax...

(a) The allocation of the purchase price between the Sold Shares, as adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.6 (the “Purchase Price Allocation Statement”), shall be prepared in accordance with the methodology agreed to by the parties and set forth on Section 2.6(a) of the Buyer Disclosure Schedule. No later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller an estimated allocation of the purchase price between the Sold Shares, as adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.6 (the “Purchase Price Allocation Statement”), prepared in a manner consistent with the methodology agreed to by the parties, reflecting the allocation of the Estimated Purchase Price between the Sold Shares. On the Determination Date, Buyer shall deliver a final Purchase Price Allocation Statement, prepared in a manner consistent with the methodology agreed to by the parties, reflecting the allocation of the Final Purchase Price between the Sold Shares.
(b) Seller and Buyer shall work in good faith to resolve any disputes relating to the final Purchase Price Allocation Statement.

Seller and Buyer will share equally the fees and expenses of the CPA Firm with respect to such a resolution.
(c) In the event an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price is made under this Agreement, the final Purchase Price Allocation Statement shall be adjusted in a manner consistent with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.6. Seller and Buyer agree that they will not, and will not permit any of their respective Affiliates to, take a position (except as required pursuant to any order of a Taxing Authority) on any Tax Return or in any audit or examination before any Taxing Authority that is in any way inconsistent with the final Purchase Price Allocation Statement, as adjusted herein.

The parties agree that the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to the purchase of the Trident Shares that are shares of Trident ECP is $1.00 and that the remainder of the Purchase Price is allocated to the Trident Shares that are shares of Trident ECG, the MECG Units, the VECG Units and the ETCF Units.

If the Seller Representative and the Buyer have been unable to resolve their differences within 30 days after the Buyer has been notified of the Seller Representative’s disagreement with the initial determination, then any remaining disputed issues shall be submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm, which shall resolve the disagreement in a final binding manner in accordance with the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Section 2.6(c) applied mutatis mutandis.
