EXHIBIT 10.(h)
TAX SHARING AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is entered into by and between ING AMERICA INSURANCE HOLDINGS,
INC. ("ING") and each of its undersigned subsidiaries (the "Subsidiaries", or in
the singular "Subsidiary").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, ING and/or some or all of the Subsidiaries may join in the filing of a
state or local tax return on a consolidated, combined or unitary basis; and
WHEREAS, it is desirable for the Subsidiaries and ING to enter into this Tax
Sharing Agreement ("Agreement") to provide for the manner of computation of the
amounts and timing of payments among them, and various related matters;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements contained herein and of other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. APPLICABILITY
The parties intend that the provisions of this Agreement shall apply to
situations in which a state or local franchise, income tax or other tax
return based on, or measured by, net income ("state or local income tax
return") is filed on behalf of more than one party to this Agreement on a
consolidated, combined, or unitary basis (each company participating in
such a return is referred to herein as a "Group Member"). ING is hereby
authorized to determine, in its sole discretion, whether any of the
Subsidiaries will be included in the filing of a consolidated, combined, or
unitary state or local income tax return, or whether any Subsidiary will
file a separate, stand-alone state or local income tax return, in states
where the choice is available.
2. ALLOCATION OF LIABILITY
For each taxable year during which a consolidated, combined or unitary
state or local income tax return is filed, each Group Member will pay to
the Designated Lead Company of such group an amount determined as follows:
i) Where the tax liability of the group of companies is calculated by
reference to the consolidated, combined, or unitary apportionment or
allocation factors of the group as a whole, the amount of tax
liability payable by each Group Member will be determined on the basis
of its proportional share of the total group's apportionment or
allocation factor. Each Group Member generating tax losses or credits,
including any carryovers thereof, will be paid for such losses or
credits as they are recognized and actually utilized to reduce the
total tax liability of the group.
1
ii) Where the tax liability of the group of companies is calculated for
each Group Member on a separate company basis utilizing separate
company apportionment or allocation factors, the amount of tax
liability payable by each Group Member will be an amount equal to its
separate company tax liability. Separate company losses or credits,
and any carryovers thereof, will only be recognized and paid for at
the time, and to the extent, that they are utilized in the reduction
of the consolidated, combined or unitary taxable income of the group.
iii) In those situations in which ING or any of the Subsidiaries files
separate, stand-alone state or local income tax returns, each such
party will be solely responsible for all taxes, additions to tax,
penalties, and interest associated with such stand-alone filings.
iv) Unless specifically approved in writing, all payments made pursuant to
this Agreement by a Group Member shall be made by that Group Member,
and not by any other company or business unit on its behalf.
3. SEPARATE RETURN YEARS
To the extent any portion of a tax loss or credit of a consolidated,
combined or unitary group is carried back or carried forward to a separate
return year of a Group Member (whether by operation of law or at the
discretion of the Designated Lead Company) the Group Member shall not be
entitled to payment from the Designated Lead Company with respect thereto.
This shall be the case whether or not the Group Member actually receives
payment for the benefit of such tax loss or credit from the applicable tax
authority or otherwise.
4. INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS
a. During and following a taxable year in which Group Members are
included in a state or local income tax return filed on a
consolidated, combined or unitary basis, each shall pay to the
Designated Lead Company, or receive from the Designated Lead Company,
as the case may be, installment payments of the amount determined
pursuant to section 2 of this Agreement. Payments shall made by or to
each Group Member in amounts that produce, on a group basis,
cumulative installments consistent with the payment rules of the
applicable taxing authority. Payments shall be made to/by each Group
Member to/by the Designated Lead Company within 30 days of the
installment payment date mandated by the applicable taxing authority.
The Designated Lead Company may revise the schedule of installment
payments set forth in this paragraph, and may provide for annual
rather than quarterly payments in cases where amounts due fall below a
certain threshold, although any such change shall be prospective and
shall not take effect prior to written notice to the Group Members.
2
b. The Designated Lead Company shall pay to the applicable taxing
authority all required installments of state or local estimated taxes
pursuant to applicable provisions of state or local law on behalf of
itself and each Group Member. The Designated Lead Company shall have
the sole right to determine the amount of each such tax payment with
respect to the group's tax liability for the taxable year.
c. Should the amount of any tax payment made by the Designated Lead
Company under this section to the taxing authority exceed the sum of
installment payments made by all Group Members for any corresponding
installment date, the Designated Lead Company may, in its sole
discretion, determine each Group Member's fair and reasonable share of
that excess, and notify each Group Member thereof. The amount of such
excess amount shall be paid over to the Designated Lead Company within
15 business days of the date of notification.
d. If a penalty or an addition to tax for underpayment of estimated taxes
is imposed on the group with respect to any required installment under
applicable state or local law, the Designated Lead Company shall, in
its sole discretion, determine the amount of each Group Member's share
of such penalty or addition to tax, which amount shall be paid over to
the Designated Lead Company within 15 business days of the date of
notification.
5. ADJUSTED RETURNS
If any adjustments are made to the consolidated, combined or unitary
returns for a taxable year, whether by reason of the filing of an amended
return, or a claim for refund with respect to such taxable year, or an
audit with respect to such taxable year, the amounts due under this
Agreement for such taxable year shall be redetermined by the Designated
Lead Company taking into account such adjustments. If, as a result of such
redetermination, any amounts due under this Agreement shall differ from the
amounts previously paid, then, except as provided in section 6 hereof,
payment of such difference shall be made by each Group Member to the
Designated Lead Company, or by the Designated Lead Company to the Group
Member, as the case may be, (a) in the case of an adjustment resulting in a
refund or credit, not later than thirty (30) days after the date on which
such refund is received or credit is allowed with respect to such
adjustment or (b) in the case of an adjustment resulting in the assertion
of a deficiency, not later than thirty (30) days after the Group Member is
notified of the deficiency. Any amounts due to or from a Group Member under
this section shall be determined with respect to such refund or deficiency
taking into account any penalties, interest or other additions to tax which
may be imposed. ING shall indemnify each Subsidiary in the event the taxing
authority levies upon such Subsidiary's assets for unpaid taxes in excess
of the amount required to be paid by such Subsidiary in relation to a
consolidated, combined or unitary return filed pursuant to this Agreement.
3
6. PROCEDURAL MATTERS
The Designated Lead Company shall prepare and file the consolidated,
combined or unitary state or local return and any other returns, documents
or statements required to be filed with the appropriate jurisdiction, with
respect to the determination of the tax liability of the filing group. In
its sole discretion, the Designated Lead Company shall have the right with
respect to any return which it has filed or will file, (a) to determine (i)
the manner in which such returns, documents or statements shall be prepared
and filed, including, without limitation, the manner in which any item of
income, gain, loss, deduction or credit shall be reported, (ii) whether any
extensions may be requested and (iii) the elections that will be made by
any Group Member, (b) to contest, compromise or settle any adjustment or
deficiency proposed, asserted or assessed as a result of any audit of such
returns by the taxing authority, (c) to file, prosecute, compromise or
settle any claim for refund and (d) to determine whether any refunds to
which the filing group may be entitled shall be paid by way of refund or
credited against the tax liability of the group. Each Group Member hereby
irrevocably appoints the Designated Lead Company as its agent and
attorney-in-fact to take such action (including the execution of documents)
as the Designated Lead Company may deem appropriate to effect the
foregoing.
7. ADDITIONAL MEMBERS
If future subsidiaries are acquired or created and they participate in the
consolidated, combined or unitary filing, such subsidiaries shall join in
and be bound by this Agreement. This section will also apply to
subsidiaries that are not eligible immediately to join the filing group,
when they become eligible to join the filing group.
8. COMPANIES LEAVING GROUP
Except as specifically treated to the contrary herein, a Group Member shall
be treated as having withdrawn from this Agreement upon the signing of a
letter of intent or a definitive agreement to sell the Group Member.
Amounts payable to or receivable from Designated Lead Company shall be
recomputed with respect to the withdrawing Group Member, including an
estimate of the remaining taxes actually payable or receivable upon the
filing of the tax return for the year of withdrawal, as of the last day
such Group Member is a member of the group. Any amounts so computed as due
to or from the Designated Lead Company to or from Group Member shall be
paid prior to its leaving the group, provided, however, that any deficiency
or excess of taxes determined on the basis of the tax return filed for the
year of withdrawal, and paid to or from Designated Lead Company related to
the tax liability of the withdrawing Group Member for the portion of the
year of withdrawal during which it had been a member of the affiliated
group, shall be settled not later than November 15 of the year following
the year of the date of withdrawal.
The extent to which Designated Lead Company or such Group Member is
entitled to any other payments as a result of adjustments, as provided in
section 5 hereof, determined after such Group Member has left the
affiliated group but affecting any taxable year
4
during which this Agreement was in effect with respect to the Designated
Lead Company and such Group Member, shall be provided for pursuant to a
separate written agreement between ING and the former Group Member or its
new owner, or in the absence of such agreement, pursuant to the provision
of section 5 hereof. Tax benefits arising from the carry back of losses or
credits of the former Group Member to tax years during which it was a
member of the group shall not be refunded to the Group Member, unless
specifically provided for pursuant to a separate written agreement between
ING and the former Group Member, or its new owner.
9. BOOKS AND RECORDS
The books, accounts and records of ING and the Subsidiaries shall be
maintained so as to provide clearly and accurately the information required
for the operation of this Agreement. Notwithstanding termination of this
Agreement, all materials including, but not limited to, returns, supporting
schedules, workpapers, correspondence and other documents relating to the
combined, consolidated or unitary tax return shall be made available to ING
and/or any Subsidiary during regular business hours. Records will be
retained by ING and by each Subsidiary, in a manner satisfactory to ING,
adequate to comply with any audit request by the appropriate State or local
taxing authority, and, in any event to comply with any record retention
agreement entered into by ING or any Subsidiary with such taxing authority.
10. ESCROW AGREEMENTS
The parties hereto agree that, to the extent required by applicable law,
they shall enter into and file with appropriate jurisdictions any escrow
agreements or similar contractual arrangements with respect to the taxes
covered by this Agreement. The terms of such agreements shall, to the
extent set forth therein, and with respect to the parties thereto, prevail
over the terms of this Agreement.
11. TERMINATION
This Agreement shall be terminated if ING and the Subsidiaries agree in
writing to such termination.
12. ADMINISTRATION
This Agreement shall be administered by the Vice President of Taxes of ING
or, in his/her absence, by any other officer of ING so designated by the
Controller of ING. Disputes between ING and any Subsidiary shall be
resolved by the Vice President of Taxes of ING or other designated officer
and the senior financial officer of each Subsidiary involved in the
dispute. Should ING, in its sole discretion, determine that any provision
of this Agreement cannot be applied practicably to any item or any part of
any state or local income tax return, ING shall apply a reasonable rule of
operation in such situation, as determined in its sole discretion, but
predicated on the principle of equitable sharing of the tax impact of such
item among those parties included in the tax return responsible for such
tax impact. ING and the Subsidiaries each agree to indemnify any
5
party to this agreement for any loss or other injury sustained as a result
of errors or omissions committed by ING or one of the Subsidiaries in
connection with this Agreement.
13. PERIOD COVERED
This Agreement shall be effective with respect to each party thereto upon
signing by such party, and shall supersede all previous agreements between
ING and any Subsidiary with respect to the matters contained herein and
such previous agreement shall thereupon terminate. The Agreement shall
apply to the taxable year 2001, to all prior taxable years which are open
to adjustments as provided in section 5 hereof (to the extent not subject
to any separate tax sharing agreement) and to all subsequent periods unless
and until amended or terminated, as provided in section 11 hereof.
