Section 338 Sample Clauses
Section 338 refers to a provision in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code that allows a corporation acquiring at least 80% of another corporation's stock to treat the purchase as an asset acquisition for tax purposes, rather than a stock purchase. In practice, this means the buyer can step up the tax basis of the target's assets to their fair market value, potentially increasing future depreciation and amortization deductions. This clause is primarily used to provide tax benefits to buyers in corporate acquisitions and to clarify the tax treatment of such transactions.

(a) Buyer will, or will cause its applicable Affiliate to, join with the applicable Sellers, and the applicable Sellers shall join with Buyer or its applicable Affiliate, in jointly making a timely and irrevocable election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code with respect to Buyer’s acquisition (or the acquisition by an Affiliate of Buyer) of the Equity Interests of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Re Inc. and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities Inc. pursuant to this Agreement and, if permissible, similar elections under any applicable state and local Tax Laws (collectively, the “Section 338(h)(10) Elections”).

(taking into account and in accordance with the Purchase Price Allocation among the Equity Interests pursuant to Section 2.12). The Preliminary Allocation Schedule shall be reasonable and shall be prepared in accordance with Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. If, within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Preliminary Allocation Schedule, Sapphire has not notified Buyer in writing of its disagreement with the Preliminary Allocation Schedule, the Preliminary Allocation Schedule shall be final and binding.
