Subsidiaries and the Closing Tax Pool Rate (as defined below) is less than 30%, Citigroup shall indemnify and hold the members of the Primerica Group harmless from and against the excess of (A) the actual U.S. federal Income Tax liability of the members of the Primerica Group for Post-Closing Tax Periods ending on or before December 31, 2015 (the “Actual Tax Liability”), over (B) the U.S. federal Income Tax liability of the members of the Primerica Group for such Taxable periods that would be due assuming the same facts and using the same methods, elections, conventions and practices used in determining the Actual Tax Liability except that such liability shall be calculated as if such Section 338(g) Elections were made (the “Hypothetical Tax Liability”);provided,however, that the aggregate indemnification payments pursuant to this Section 2(i)(ii) shall not exceed an amount equal to the product of (x) the Pre-Tax Closing E&P and (y) the excess of 30% over the Closing Tax Pool Rate (the “Cap”);provided,further that the Cap shall not apply to the extent that the Actual Tax Liability is greater than the U.S. federal Income Tax liability of the members of the Primerica Group for such Taxable periods that would be due assuming the same facts and using the same methods, elections, conventions and practices used in determining the Actual Tax Liability except that such liability shall be calculated as if the current and accumulated earnings and profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the Primerica Group were 0 as of the Closing Date (the “Recalculated Tax Liability”). Primerica shall, consistent with the conduct of its business in the ordinary course (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not require the payment of any distribution or dividend), take, or cause to be taken by the relevant Canadian Subsidiary, any and all actions which it otherwise would have taken, if it were the sole party in interest, to maximize the utilization, as early as possible, of the Closing Tax Pool (as defined below). To the extent the utilization of the Closing Tax Pool (as defined below), or a portion thereof, is subject to limitation under the Code, such limitation result in an indemnification obligation pursuant to this Section 2(i)(ii), or in an increase in such indemnification obligation, and the Closing Tax Pool, or a portion thereof, is actually utilized and taken into account in determining the Tax liability of any member of the Primerica Group in a Post-Closing Tax Period, Primerica shall pay Citigroup the amount of any related Tax Benefit within 10 days after the earlier of the filing date of the Tax Return on which the Closing Tax Pool, or such portion thereof, is being utilized or the Determination of a Tax Claim (as defined below) with respect to the utilization of the Closing Tax Pool or such portion thereof. Within 30 days following the end of each Taxable year ending on or before December 31, 2015, Primerica shall provide Citigroup a calculation specifying in reasonable detail the Actual Tax Liability, the Hypothetical Tax Liability, any Recalculated Tax Liability and the Cap not utilized in prior Taxable years, the indemnification payment required to be made pursuant to this Section 2(i)(ii) and the amount of any Tax Benefit required to be paid to Citigroup pursuant to this Section 2(i)(ii) (“Preliminary Determination”). Within 30 days after its receipt of the Preliminary Determination, Citigroup shall notify Primerica of any proposed adjustments thereto. If the parties are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised by Citigroup within 90 days after delivery of the Preliminary Determination to Citigroup, such dispute shale be resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution provision in Section 10.
