Responsibility for Taxes Regardless of any action taken by the Company or Optionee’s employer (the “Employer”) with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), Optionee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains Optionee’s responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Option grant, including the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate Optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company specifically disclaims any representation or guarantee that this Option will qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, or if the Option initially so qualifies, that it will continue to qualify. Optionee should consult his or her own tax advisor regarding the status of and tax treatment for this Option. Prior to exercise of the Option, Optionee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all withholding and payment on account obligations of the Company and/or the Employer. In this regard, Optionee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by Optionee from Optionee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Optionee by the Company and/or the Employer or from proceeds of the sale of the shares. Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local law, the Company may (i) sell or arrange for the sale of shares that Optionee acquires to meet the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, and/or (ii) withhold in shares, provided that the Company only withholds the amount of shares necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount. Finally, Optionee shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of Optionee’s participation in the Plan or Optionee’s purchase of shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the shares if Optionee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section.
Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns (i) The Sellers shall timely prepare or cause to be timely prepared, and timely file or cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns with respect to Taxes based on income or gains of each of the Companies for all taxable years or periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Date Tax Periods ”) first due after the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Income Tax Returns”). All Pre-Closing Income Tax Returns shall be prepared in compliance with all applicable Tax Laws. The Sellers shall provide Buyer with a draft of each such Pre-Closing Income Tax Return no later than thirty (30) days prior to the due date thereof (taking all valid extensions into account) and shall permit Buyer to review and comment on such Pre-Closing Income Tax Returns. The Sellers shall address in good faith Buyer’s comments made with respect to such Pre-Closing Income Tax Returns; provided, that Buyer must provide the Sellers with its comments no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the due date thereof (taking all valid extensions into account). The Sellers shall be responsible for paying all Taxes of each of the Companies shown as due on any Pre-Closing Income Tax Return.
(ii) Buyer shall timely prepare or cause to be timely prepared, and timely file or cause to be timely filed all non-income Tax Returns of each of the Companies for all taxable years or periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date first due after the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Non-Income Tax Returns”) and all Tax Returns of either of the Companies for all taxable periods or years that include, but do not end on, the Closing Date (any such period, a “Straddle Period” and any such Tax Return, a “Straddle Period Tax Return”). Buyer shall provide the Representative with a draft of each Pre-Closing Non-Income Tax Return and Straddle Period Tax Return no later than thirty (30) days prior to the due date thereof (taking all valid extensions into account) and shall permit the Representative to review and comment on such Pre-Closing Non-Income Tax Returns and Straddle Period Tax Returns. Buyer shall address in good faith the Representative’s comments made with respect to such Tax Returns; provided, that the Representative must provide Buyer with comments no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the due date thereof (taking all valid extensions into account). Buyer shall be responsible for paying all Taxes of each of the Companies shown as due on any such Pre-Closing Non-Income Tax Return or Straddle Period Tax Return; provided, however, that Representative shall, within 5 Business Days of demand by Buyer, pay (i) all Taxes of either of the Companies shown as due on any Pre-Closing Non-Income Tax Return and (ii) Taxes on any Straddle Period Tax Return with respect to the Interim Period as determined in accordance with Section 6.7(b).
(iii) With respect to any dispute or controversy relating to the preparation of any Tax Return addressed by Section 6.7(a)(i) or (ii) (including whether comments of Buyer or the Representative, as applicable, should be incorporated therein), Buyer and the Representative shall cooperate in good faith to resolve such dispute or controversy, but if they are unable to do so, the parties shall submit the dispute or controversy for resolution, which resolution shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties, to the Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm shall be instructed to prepare and deliver to Buyer and the Representative, as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event within fifteen (15) days after its engagement), its resolution of the matter. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be paid in a manner similar to that set forth in Section 2.6(a)(iv).
