Related to Tax refunds and tax attributes

• Refunds and Tax Benefits Any Tax refunds that are received by any of the MGM Entities, and any amounts credited against Tax to which Purchaser or any of the MGM Entities becomes entitled, that relate to Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date (but only to the extent such amounts are in excess of the amount, if any, of Tax receivables and offsets to Tax reserves on the financial statements of the Company from which the Final Statement was derived) shall be for the account of Parent, and Purchaser shall pay over to Parent (a) any such cash refund within fifteen days after receipt thereof and (b) the amount of Tax savings realized by Purchaser or any of the MGM Entities at the time the Tax Return to which such credit relates is filed by Purchaser or any of the MGM Entities. Any Tax refunds that are received by Parent or any of its Affiliates, and any amounts credited against Tax to which Parent or any of its Affiliates becomes entitled (other than refunds of income Taxes and/or any amounts credited against Tax resulting from adjustments in connection with the activities of the Company which shall be for the account of Parent), that relate to Taxes of the Company for Tax periods or portions thereof after the Closing Date shall be for the account of Purchaser, and Parent or its Affiliates shall pay over to Purchaser (a) any such cash refund within fifteen days after receipt thereof and (b) the amount of Tax savings realized by Parent or any of its Affiliates at the time the Tax Return to which such credit relates is filed by Parent or any of its Affiliates.

• Tax Attributes (i) Tax attributes with respect to, and the -------------- overpayment of, property taxes, sales and use taxes and franchise taxes which relate primarily to the Company Business and (ii) to the extent provided in the Tax Sharing Agreement, tax attributes with respect to, and the overpayment of, income and payroll taxes which relate to the Company Business or are otherwise allocated to the Company.

• Apportionment of Earnings and Profits and Tax Attributes (a) Tax Attributes arising in a Pre-Distribution Period will be allocated to (and the benefits and burdens of such Tax Attributes will inure to) the members of the Parent Group and the members of the SpinCo Group in accordance with the Code, Treasury regulations and any other Applicable Tax Law, and, in the absence of controlling legal authority or unless otherwise provided under this Agreement, Tax Attributes shall be allocated to the legal entity that created such Tax Attributes.

• Apportionment of Tax Attributes (i) If the Parent Consolidated Group has a Tax Attribute, the portion, if any, of such Tax Attribute apportioned to SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Consolidated Group and treated as a carryover to the first Post-Distribution Taxable Period of SpinCo (or such member) shall be determined by Parent in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.1502-21, 1.1502-21T, 1.1502-22, 1.1502-79 and, if applicable, 1.1502-79A.

• Allocation of Straddle Period Taxes In the case of any Straddle Period:

• Tax Refunds Any refund or credit of Taxes (including as a result of any overpayment of Taxes in prior periods (or portions thereof in the case of a Straddle Period) and including any interest thereon) accruing to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in respect of the Transferred Entities or as a result of the ownership of the Transferred Assets or the Business (each, a “Tax Asset”) attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than any such refund or credit resulting from the carryback of losses, credits or similar items of a Transferred Entity, as the case may be, attributable to a Post-Closing Tax Period) shall be for the account of Seller, except to the extent such Tax Asset was taken into account in the adjustment described in Section 2.04. Purchaser shall pay and shall cause its Affiliates to pay, to Seller the amount of the Tax Asset, net of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in obtaining such Tax Asset, within ten (10) days after such Tax Asset is received or after such Tax Asset is allowed or applied against another Tax liability, as the case may be. Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, execute such documents, file such Tax Returns (including amended Tax Returns), take reasonable additional actions and otherwise reasonably cooperate as may be necessary for Purchaser and its Affiliates to perfect their rights in and obtain all Tax Assets for which Seller is entitled pursuant to this Section 8.05. None of Purchaser or its Affiliates shall surrender forfeit, fail to collect or otherwise minimize or delay any material Tax Asset to which Seller would be entitled pursuant to this Section 8.05. Except as provided in this Section 8.05, Purchaser and the Transferred Entities will be entitled to any refunds (including any interest received thereon) in respect of any federal, state, local or foreign Tax liability of the Transferred Entities or in respect of the Business received following the Closing Date.

• Tax Refund (a) If, following the imposition of any Tax on any payment by any Obligor in consequence of which such Obligor pays an additional amount under Section 5.5(a), any Lender receives or is granted a refund of any Tax actually paid by it which in such Lender’s sole opinion (acting in good faith) is attributable to such additional amount paid by such Obligor and is both identifiable and quantifiable by it without requiring such Lender or its professional advisers to expend a material amount of time or incur a material cost in so identifying or quantifying (any of the foregoing, to the extent so identifiable and quantifiable, being referred to as a “refund”), such Lender shall, to the extent that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the relevant refund and subject to such Obligor’s obligation to repay promptly on demand by the Lender the amount to such Lender if the relevant refund is subsequently disallowed or cancelled, reimburse such Obligor promptly after receipt of such refund by such Lender with such amount as such Lender shall in its sole opinion but in good faith have concluded to be the amount or value of the relevant refund.

• Straddle Period Tax Allocation The Company and the Subsidiaries will, unless prohibited by applicable Law, close each of their applicable taxable periods as of the close of business on the Closing Date. If applicable Law does not permit the Company and the Subsidiaries to close any of its taxable years on the Closing Date or in any case in which a Tax is assessed with respect to a taxable period which includes the Closing Date (but does not begin or end on that day) (a “Straddle Period”), the Taxes, if any, attributable to a Straddle Period shall be allocated (i) to Sellers for the period up to and including the close of business on the Closing Date, and (ii) to Buyer for the period subsequent to the Closing Date. Any allocation of income or deductions required to determine any Taxes attributable to a Straddle Period shall be made by means of a deemed closing of the books and records of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the close of the Closing Date; provided, that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, property or ad valorem taxes attributable to a Straddle Period shall be allocated to the period ending on the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period.

• Straddle Period Taxes Sellers shall, at their own expense, prepare and timely file all Tax Returns relating to all real property Taxes, personal property Taxes or similar ad valorem obligations levied (i) on the owner of the Transferred Loans for any taxable period that begins before the Applicable Cut-Off Time and ends after the Applicable Cut-Off Time and (ii) on the owner of all other Purchased Assets for any taxable period that begins before the Applicable Closing Date and ends after the Applicable Closing Date (each such taxable period, a “Straddle Period”, and such Taxes, “Straddle Period Taxes”), whether imposed or assessed before or after the Applicable Cut-Off Time or the Applicable Closing Date, as appropriate. Buyers shall be liable for and shall indemnify Sellers, their Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents, and representatives against all liability for the amount of such Straddle Period Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending after the Applicable Cut-Off Time for the Transferred Loans and after the Applicable Closing Date for all other Purchased Assets and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire relevant Straddle Period. Sellers shall be liable for and shall indemnify Buyers, their Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents, and representatives against all liability for the amount of such Straddle Period Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending before the Applicable Cut-Off Time for the Transferred Loans and ending on or before the Applicable Closing Date for all other Purchased Assets and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire relevant Straddle Period. Any credits relating to a Straddle Period shall be taken into account as though the relevant Straddle Period ended at the Applicable Cut-Off Time or on the Applicable Closing Date, as appropriate. Any material Tax Return for a Straddle Period shall be submitted to Buyers by Sellers at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the due date of such Tax Return (taking valid extensions into account). Buyers will pay to Sellers, within two (2) Business Days after the filing of any such Tax Return by Sellers, an amount equal to the portion of the Straddle Period Taxes reflected on such Tax Return for which Buyers are liable under this Section 6.11. For the avoidance of doubt, Straddle Period Taxes do not include any Taxes owed by an Obligor with respect to real property securing any Transferred Loan.

• Tax Benefit If, as the result of any Taxes paid or indemnified against by the Facility Lessee under this Section 9.2, the aggregate Taxes actually paid by the Tax Indemnitee for any taxable year and not subject to indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.2 are less (whether by reason of a deduction, credit, allocation or apportionment of income or otherwise) than the amount of such Taxes that otherwise would have been payable by such Tax Indemnitee (a "Tax Benefit"), then to the extent such Tax Benefit was not taken into account in determining the amount of indemnification payable by the Facility Lessee under paragraph (a) or (c) above and provided no Significant Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (in which event the payment provided under this Section 9.2(e) shall be deferred until the Significant Lease Default or Lease Event of Default has been cured), such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to the Facility Lessee the lesser of (A) (y) the amount of such Tax Benefit, plus (z) an amount equal to any United States federal, state or local income tax benefit resulting to the Tax Indemnitee from the payment under clause (y) above and this clause (z) (determined using the same assumptions as set forth in the second sentence under the definition of After-Tax Basis) and (B) the amount of the indemnity paid pursuant to this Section 9.2 giving rise to such Tax Benefit; provided, however, that any excess of (A) over (B) shall be carried forward and reduce the Facility Lessee's obligations to make subsequent payments to such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 9.2. If it is subsequently determined that the Tax Indemnitee was not entitled to such Tax Benefit, the portion of such Tax Benefit that is required to be repaid or recaptured will be treated as Taxes for which the Facility Lessee must indemnify the Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 9.2 without regard to paragraph (b) hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Certificateholder Indemnitee shall determine the allocation of any tax benefits, savings, credit, deduction or allocation in its sole good faith discretion and each position to be taken on its tax return shall be in its sole control and it shall not be required to disclose any tax return or related documentation to any Person.
