ARTICLE VII.

TAX MATTERS

7.01 Tax Matters. The following provisions will govern the allocation of responsibility as between Buyer and Seller for certain Tax matters following the Closing Date:

(a) Seller shall be responsible for: (i) any Tax imposed on or relating to the Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period; (ii) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local, or non-U.S. Law or regulation, (iii) any and all Taxes of any Person imposed on the Company as a transferee or successor, by contract, pursuant to any Law, rule, or regulation which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing; (iv) the costs of preparing, amending, and/or defending any Tax Return of the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period; or (v) any and all employment Taxes imposed on the Company with respect to payments made under this Agreement. To the extent that the Company has, prior to Closing, paid or prepaid any Tax, and the Company or Buyer receives a cash Tax refund (or claims a credit in lieu of a cash Tax refund) as a result of such pre-Closing payment by the Company, the amount of the Tax refund or credit that is attributable to any Tax paid or prepaid by the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be reimbursed by Buyer to Seller, within ten (10) days after the Tax Return reflecting the amount of such refund or credit is filed by the Company or Buyer, net of (1) Taxes payable by the Buyer, the Company, or their Affiliates in obtaining such refund or credit, (2) any reasonable out-of-pocket costs associated in obtaining such refund or credit, and (3) amounts required to be withheld on such payment to Seller. If there is a subsequent reduction by the applicable taxing authority of any amounts with respect to which a payment has been made to Seller pursuant to this Section 7.01(a), then Seller will pay Buyer an amount equal to such reduction plus any interest or penalties imposed by the taxing authority with respect to such reduction.

(b) Payments; Survival; Limitations. Seller shall pay in full any amount due under Section 7.01(a) and/or Section 7.01(d) to Buyer in immediately available funds at least five (5) business days before the due date of the Taxes to which such payment relates (or if such Taxes are past-due, then within ten (10) business days of Buyer’s demand for such payment).

(c) Straddle Period. For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, sales, withholding, payroll, or receipts of the Company for the Straddle Period which relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period will be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date and the amount of other Taxes of the Company for a Straddle Period which relate to the Pre-Closing Tax Period will be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period that occur on or before the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such Straddle Period.

(d) Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns. Seller shall (i) prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, when due all IRS Forms (and any comparable state or local Tax Return) for the Company for taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date (the “Seller Returns”) and (ii) pay all Taxes shown as due thereon no later the due date of such Tax Returns as finally determined under this Agreement. All such Seller Returns shall be prepared consistent with past practice to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Seller shall provide to Buyer a draft of each such Seller Return prior to the due date of such Seller Return so as to provide a reasonable time for Buyer to review and comment on each such Seller Return. Buyer will prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all other Tax Returns for the Company that are filed after the Closing Date. Prior to filing any such income Tax Return that includes a Straddle Period or that includes a refund or credit for Taxes that were paid or prepaid by the Company prior to Closing, (the “Buyer Returns”), Buyer will permit Seller a reasonable time to review and comment on each such Buyer Return. Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount of any Taxes due with or in respect of any such Buyer Return, as computed pursuant to Section 7.01(c), in accordance with Section 7.01(b) as finally determined under this Agreement.

12

(e) Cooperation on Tax Matters. Each party hereto shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to, provide to each of the other parties hereto such cooperation and information as any of them reasonably may request in filing any Tax Return, determining a Liability for Taxes or in conducting any audit or other Proceeding in respect of Taxes. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of all relevant portions of relevant Tax Returns, together with relevant accompanying schedules and relevant work papers, relevant documents relating to rulings or other determinations by Taxing Authorities and relevant records concerning the ownership and Tax basis of property, which any such party may possess. Seller shall turn over to Buyer copies of all Tax Returns of the Company for the last six (6) years, and the related schedules and work papers, and all material records and other material documents in its possession, relating to Taxes of the Company. Seller may retain copies of the Tax Returns and records that are provided to Buyer.

(f) Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax sharing agreements or similar agreements and powers of attorney with respect to or involving the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any Liability thereunder.

(g) Certain Taxes and Fees. All transfer, documentary, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by Seller when due, and Seller shall, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to the Taxes, fees and charges described in this paragraph. If as a result of Buyer’s treating the transactions hereunder as the purchase of assets for Tax purposes any sales or use Taxes are payable on the transaction, Buyer shall timely pay all such sales and use Taxes.
