Common use of Tax Benefit Clause in Contracts

Tax Benefit. If an Indemnitee or a Tax Indemnitee determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that it has actually realized a tax benefit or refund as a result of any claims or Taxes paid by Lessee or against which it has been indemnified by Lessee under Clauses 18.1, 18.2, 18.3, 18.5 or 18.6, it shall (to the extent in its sole discretion that it can do so without prejudicing the retention of the amount of such benefit or refund and without prejudice to the right to any other relief or allowance which may be available to it) pay to Lessee, promptly after actual realization of such tax benefit or refund or receipt of such other compensation, an amount that is equal to the amount of such benefit or refund or other compensation plus the amount of any Taxes saved by it as a result of the payment to Lessee pursuant to this Clause 18.7; provided, however, that in no event shall such payment exceed (x) the amount of all prior payments by Lessee to such Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee under Clauses 18.1, 18.2, 18.3, 18.5 or 18.6 minus (y) the amount of all prior payments by such Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Clause 18.7 and provided, further however, that no such payment shall be required to be made while a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If an Indemnitee or a Tax Indemnitee shall have paid Lessee any amounts under this Clause 18.7 and it is subsequently determined that it was not entitled to a tax benefit or refund, such determination shall be treated as the imposition of a Tax for which Lessee is obligated to indemnify it pursuant to the provisions of Clause 18.2 without regard to the exclusions set forth in Clause 18.2.
