Common use of Tax Allocation Clause in Contracts

Tax Allocation. The portion of any Tax related to a Straddle Period that is allocable to the portion of a Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date shall be (i) in the case of property and similar ad valorem Taxes and any other Taxes not described in clause (ii) below, equal to the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that fall prior to the day after the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period and (ii) in the case of Taxes based on income, receipts, remuneration, sales, proceeds, profits or similar items and other Taxes that are readily apportionable based on an actual or deemed closing of the books, computed as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date. The portion of any Tax related to a Straddle Period that is allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period beginning the day after the Closing Date is the portion of such Tax not allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date under this Section 5.7(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any transaction that occurs on the Closing Date but prior to the actual time of the Closing and that is not in the ordinary course of business shall be deemed to occur in a Pre-Closing Tax Period or the portion of a Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date.
