tax indemnity provision
(14) A tax indemnity provision means a provision in a rental agreement that may require the lessee to make one or more payments to the lessor in the event that the Federal, foreign, state, or local income tax consequences actually realized by a lessor from owning the property subject to the rental agreement and leasing it to the lessee differ from the consequences reasonably expected by the lessor, but only if the differences in such consequences result from a misrepresentation, act, or failure to act on the part of the lessee, or any other factor not within the control of the lessor or any related person. (15) Third-party costs include any real estate taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance costs, and any other costs (excluding a debt service cost) that relate to the leased property and are not within the control of the lessor or lessee or any person related to the lessor or lessee. (16) A variable interest rate provision means a provision in a rental agreement that requires the rent payable by the lessee to the lessor to be adjusted by the dollar amount of changes in the amount of interest payable by the lessor on any indebtedness that was incurred to acquire the property subject to the rental agreement (or any refinancing thereof), but (i) Only to the extent the changes are attributable to changes in the interest rate; and (ii) Only if the indebtedness provides for interest at one or more qualified floating rates (within the meaning of 1.1275-5(b)), or the changes are attributable to a refinancing at a fixed rate or one or more qualified floating rates.
