Tax Matters The following provisions shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between Buyer and Sellers for certain tax matters following the Closing Date:
Tax Contests Purchaser shall inform Seller of the commencement of any audit, examination or proceeding relating in whole or in part to Taxes for which Seller is responsible to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement. With respect to any such Tax, Seller will have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to control (in the case of a Pre-Calculation Date Tax Period) or participate in (in the case of a Straddle Period) the prosecution, settlement or compromise of any proceeding involving the Tax, provided that Seller shall have promptly notified Purchaser in writing of its intention to control or participate in such Tax Contest. Purchaser will (and will cause the Acquired Entity to) take such action in connection with any such proceeding that Seller reasonably requests, including the selection of counsel and experts and the execution of powers of attorney. Purchaser will (and will cause the Acquired Entity to) inform Seller promptly, and send Seller copies promptly upon receipt, of any notice of an audit, examination, claim or assessment for any Tax for which Seller is responsible and keep Seller informed of progress in the proceedings and allow Seller to attend any meetings and scheduled calls with the Governmental Authorities to the extent Seller is not controlling the proceedings. Purchaser shall not settle, consent to the entry of a judgment of or compromise any audit, examination or proceeding relating to Taxes for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of Seller. To the extent that there is an inconsistently between Section 11.06 and this Section 9.03 as it relates to a Tax Contest, the provisions of Section 9.03 shall govern.
Tax Cooperation The Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with one another and use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or reduce, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, Tax withholding or similar obligations in respect of royalties, milestone payments, and other payments made by the paying Party to the receiving Party under this Agreement (“Withholding Taxes”). If Withholding Taxes are imposed on any payment under this Agreement, the liability for such Withholding Taxes shall be the sole responsibility of the receiving Party, and the paying Party shall (i) deduct or withhold such Withholding Taxes from the payment made to the receiving Party, (ii) timely pay such Withholding Taxes to the proper taxing authority, and (iii) send proof of payment to the receiving Party within thirty (30) days following such payment. If and to the extent the paying Party failed to retain Withholding Taxes (e.g. because the Parties assumed that Withholding Taxes will not be imposed) or if Withholding Taxes are imposed on “deemed payments” the receiving Party shall reimburse the paying Party for any Withholding Tax obligation vis-à-vis the tax authorities. Each Party shall comply with (or provide the other Party with) any certification, identification or other reporting requirements that may be reasonably necessary in order for the paying Party to not withhold Withholding Taxes or to withhold Withholding Taxes at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty. Each Party shall provide the other with commercially reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by Applicable Laws, of Withholding Taxes or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of the Party bearing the cost of such Withholding Taxes under this Section 16.5(d) (Tax Cooperation). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as a result of any assignment or sublicense by the paying Party, any change in the paying Party’s tax residency, any change in the entity that originates the payment, or any failure on the part of the paying Party to comply with Applicable Laws with respect to Withholding Taxes (including filing or record retention requirements), Withholding Taxes are imposed that would not otherwise have been imposed (“Incremental Withholding Taxes”), then the paying Party shall be solely responsible for the amount of such Incremental Withholding Taxes and shall increase the amounts payable to the receiving Party so that the receiving Party receives a sum equal to the sum which it would have received had there been no such imposition of Incremental Withholding Taxes. If a Party makes a payment in accordance with the sentence above (gross-up) (“Tax Payment”) and
Withholding; Tax Matters (a) The Participant acknowledges that the Corporation shall require the Participant to pay the Corporation in cash the amount of any tax or other amount required by any governmental authority to be withheld and paid over by the Corporation to such authority for the account of the Participant, and the Participant agrees, as a condition to the grant of the Option and delivery of the Shares or any other benefit, to satisfy such obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may establish procedures to permit the Participant to satisfy such obligations in whole or in part, and any other local, state, federal, foreign or other income tax obligations relating to the Option, by electing (the “election”) to have the Corporation withhold shares of Common Stock from the Shares to which the Participant is entitled. The number of Shares to be withheld shall have a Fair Market Value as of the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined as nearly equal as possible to (but not exceeding) the amount of such obligations being satisfied. Each election must be made in writing to the Administrator in accordance with election procedures established by the Administrator.
