All Taxes due and owing by the Company has been paid (whether or not shown on any Tax Return and whether or not any Tax Return was required). The Company is not currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return or pay any Tax. No claim has ever been made in writing or otherwise addressed to the Company by a taxing authority in a jurisdiction where the Company does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction.

The Company has withheld and paid all Taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder or other third party.
(iii) As used herein, “Taxes” shall mean all taxes of any kind, including, without limitation, those on or measured by or referred to as income, gross receipts, sales, use, ad valorem, franchise, profits, license, withholding, payroll, employment, excise, severance, stamp, occupation, premium value added, property or windfall profits taxes, customs, duties or similar fees, assessments or charges of any kind whatsoever, together with any interest and any penalties, additions to tax or additional amounts imposed by any governmental authority, domestic or foreign. As used herein, “Tax Return” shall mean any return, report or statement required to be filed with any governmental authority with respect to Taxes.
Amended Tax Returns (a) Subject to Section 4.4 and notwithstanding Section 2.1 and Section 2.2, a Party (or its Subsidiary) that is entitled to file an amended Tax Return for a Pre-Distribution Tax Period or a Straddle Tax Period for members of its Tax Group shall be permitted to prepare and file an amended Tax Return at its own cost and expense; provided, however, that (i) such amended Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with (and the Parties and their Affiliates shall not take any position inconsistent with) past practices of the Parties and their Affiliates or supported by an unqualified reasoned “should” or “will” opinion of a Qualified Tax Advisor, unless otherwise modified by a Final Determination or required by applicable Law, the IRS Ruling, the Tax Representation Letters, or the Tax Opinions; and (ii) if such amended Tax Return could result in one or more other Parties becoming responsible for a payment of Taxes pursuant to Article III or a payment to a Party pursuant to Article IX, such amended Tax Return shall be permitted only if the consent of such other Parties is obtained. The consent of such other Parties shall not be withheld unreasonably and shall be deemed to be obtained in the event that a Party (or its Subsidiary) is required to file an amended Tax Return as a result of an Audit adjustment that arose in accordance with Article IX.
(b) A Party (or its Subsidiary) that is entitled to file an amended Tax Return for a Post-Distribution Tax Period, shall be permitted to do so at its own cost and expense and without the consent of any Party.

Tax Returns and Payments Each of the US Borrower and its Subsidiaries has duly filed or caused to be filed all federal, state, provincial, local and other material tax returns required by Applicable Law to be filed, and has paid, or made adequate provision for the payment of, all federal, state, provincial, local and other material taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies upon it and its property, income, profits and assets which are due and payable (other than any amount the validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which adequate reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided for on the books of the US Borrower and its Subsidiaries and no Lien exists). Such returns accurately reflect in all material respects all liability for taxes of the US Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the periods covered thereby. There is no ongoing audit or examination or other investigation by any Governmental Authority of the tax liability of the US Borrower and its Subsidiaries in each case, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a liability in excess of $5,000,000. No Governmental Authority has asserted any Lien or other claim against the US Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof with respect to unpaid taxes which has not been discharged, resolved or adequately reserved for on the books of the US Borrower and its Subsidiaries. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the US Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries in respect of federal, state, provincial, local and other taxes for all Fiscal Years and portions thereof since the organization of the US Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries are in the judgment of the Borrowers adequate, and the Borrowers do not anticipate any additional taxes or assessments for any of such years beyond those for which such reserves have been made.
