Payments Net of Tax Benefits. (a) All amounts required to be paid by one Party to another pursuant to this Agreement, the Distribution Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall be reduced by the Tax Benefit Amount, if any, with respect to the Indemnified Party or its Subsidiaries in respect of the indemnified liability. (b) If and to the extent any Tax Benefit Amount arises in respect of an indemnified liability which has not already reduced any payment made to the Indemnified Party or its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise been paid to the Indemnifying party then, no later than five (5) Business Days after the filing of a Tax Return with respect to the applicable taxable period in which such Tax Benefit Amount arose, such Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of any such Tax Benefit Amount not previously taken into account. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that a deduction, credit, loss or other Tax attribute, or any portion thereof, arising as a result of such payment results in a Tax Benefit Amount in a taxable period or portion thereof prior to or later than the taxable period during which such payment is considered to have been made for applicable Tax purposes, then this Article 5.03 shall continue to apply for all taxable periods included in the applicable Tax Benefit Period. (c) With respect to each taxable period that is included in a Tax Benefit Period in respect of (i) any liability for which Mallinckrodt or any member of the Mallinckrodt Group is required to indemnify Covidien or any member of the Covidien Group pursuant to this Agreement, the Distribution Agreement, or any Ancillary Agreement, or (ii) any liability for a Tax for which Mallinckrodt or any member of the Mallinckrodt Group is liable pursuant to Articles 2.02(b), 2.02(c), or 2.02(d) of this Agreement (in each case, without regard to Article 2.03), Mallinckrodt and each member of the Mallinckrodt Group shall, with respect to each Tax Return required to be filed, or actually filed, with respect to each such taxable period, provide to Covidien pro forma copies (the “Pro Forma Returns”) of each such Tax Return prepared in accordance with the principles set forth in the definition of Tax Benefit Amount. Such pro forma Tax Return shall determine the Tax Benefit Amount, if any, realized by Mallinckrodt or any member of the Mallinckrodt Group in respect of such liability or Tax. Mallinckrodt shall deliver such pro forma Tax Returns to Covidien no later than forty-five (45) calendar days following the earlier of the date on which such Tax Return was filed or required to be filed. (d) If Mallinckrodt fails to provide to Covidien any Pro Forma Return with respect to a liability for which it is required to provide such a return pursuant to Article 5.03(c), then, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, including the definition of Tax Benefit Amount, the Tax Benefit Amount in respect of such liability shall, if and to the extent such liability is or may potentially be deductible, creditable, or otherwise potentially available to offset or reduce any amount of Taxes in any jurisdiction (as determined in Covidien’s reasonable discretion), for all purposes of this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement be equal to the product of (a) the absolute value of the amount of such liability and (b) the Mallinckrodt Assumed Tax Rate.
