(c) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has been a party to any “reportable transaction” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4(b).

(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.
(c) A Party that is permitted (or whose Subsidiary is permitted) to file an amended Tax Return, shall not be relieved of any liability for payments pursuant to this Agreement notwithstanding that another Party consented thereto.
Tax Returns Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall timely prepare and file (or cause such timely preparation and filing) with the appropriate Taxing Authority all Tax Returns for the Company and its Subsidiaries for periods that (x) end prior to or on the Closing Date (each, a “Pre-Closing Tax Return”) the due date of which (including extensions) is after the Closing Date, and Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall pay (or cause to be paid) all Taxes shown thereon, or (y) include the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period Tax Return”), and Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall pay (or cause to be paid) all Taxes shown thereon. All Pre-Closing Tax Returns and Straddle Period Tax Returns described in the prior sentence shall be prepared consistent with the methodologies and practices historically applied by the Company and its Subsidiaries when filing its prior year Tax Return (for purposes of this Section 7.12, the determination of Estimated Pre-Closing Taxes and Final Pre-Closing Taxes pursuant to Section 3.7, and with respect to Tax matters in Article IX, the foregoing will be deemed to be “past practice”) except as otherwise required by applicable Law or as specifically required under this Agreement. The Representative, at its sole expense, shall have reasonable access during normal business hours to those persons preparing any Pre-Closing Tax Return or Straddle Period Tax Return and the information to be included in such Tax Return prior to such Tax Return’s submission to the Representative for review, as described below. With regard to both Pre-Closing Tax Returns and Straddle Period Tax Returns, at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which each such Tax Return is due (including extensions), Parent shall submit such Tax Return to the Representative for its review, and within the ten (10) day period starting on the day such Tax Return is submitted to the Representative for its review, the Representative shall have the right to suggest modifications to such Tax Returns. With regard solely to any Pre-Closing Tax Return, described in the first sentence of this Section 7.12(b), if the Representative does not timely submit suggested modifications to Parent as described in the preceding sentence, the Representative will waive its right to suggest modifications to such Tax Return, or if the Representative does timely submit suggested modifications to Parent as described in the prior sentence, Parent shall make each such timely suggested modification to such Tax Return to the extent such suggested modification is not inconsistent with the standard set forth in the second sentence of this Section 7.12(b); provided that if the Closing Date is later than March 31, 2014, and such modification results in a material reduction in Tax liability or material increase in a Tax refund or credit of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or a material increase in any amount owed by Parent to Representative under Section 7.12(f) hereof, in each case allocable to a Tax period beginning before the Closing Date, the requirements of this sentence shall also apply to Straddle Period Tax Returns. Parent shall not file any Tax Return with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period without Representative’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that if such consent is not provided Representative’s failure to consent prior to the due date (including all available extensions) for filing such Tax Return shall not prevent Parent from timely filing any such Tax Return; and provided that if the Closing Date is later than March 31, 2014, such consent right shall also apply to Pre-Closing Straddle Returns that show a material amount of Taxes for which Representative (in its capacity as such) could be liable to Parent hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (including without limitation in the case Representative does not provide comments to any Tax Return or does not consent to its filing), the Representative (in its capacity as such) shall be relieved of any obligation to indemnify Parent or Surviving Corporation or their Affiliates with respect to any Losses arising from Taxes directly attributable to a particular Tax position taken by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries in filing a Pre-Closing Tax Return or Straddle Period Tax Return (including pursuant to any amendments of such Returns or pursuant to any elections or changes in Tax accounting method with retroactive effect) that is inconsistent with the past practice of the Company and its Subsidiaries, except to the extent that such Tax position is required by applicable Law or a Taxing Authority or mutually agreed in writing by the Representative and Parent.
Tax Returns and Payments Each of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be timely filed with the appropriate taxing authority all material returns, statements, forms and reports for Taxes (the “Returns”) required to be filed by, or with respect to the Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries. The Returns accurately reflect in all material respects all liability for Taxes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, for the periods covered thereby. Each of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has paid all federal and state income Taxes and all other material Taxes and assessments shown on such Returns to be payable by it which have become due, other than those that are being contested in good faith and adequately disclosed and fully provided for on the financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in accordance with U.S. GAAP. On the Closing Date, there is no material action, suit, proceeding, investigation, audit or claim now pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened by any authority regarding any Taxes relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, except as set forth on Schedule 6.9, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered into an agreement or waiver or been requested to enter into an agreement or waiver extending any statute of limitations relating to the payment or collection of Taxes of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or is aware of any circumstances that would cause the taxable years or other taxable periods of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries not to be subject to the normally applicable statute of limitations. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred, nor will any of them incur, any material tax liability in connection with the Transaction or any other transactions contemplated hereby (it being understood that the representation contained in this sentence does not cover any future tax liabilities of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries arising as a result of the operation of their businesses in the ordinary course of business).
Income Tax Liability Within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of revenue agent reports or other written proposals, determinations or assessments of the IRS or any other taxing authority which propose, determine or otherwise set forth positive adjustments to the Tax liability of, or assess or propose the collection of Taxes required to have been withheld by, the Borrower which equal or exceed $100,000 in the aggregate, telephonic or facsimile notice (confirmed in writing within five (5) Business Days) specifying the nature of the items giving rise to such adjustments and the amounts thereof;
Income Tax Return Information Each Company will provide to the other Company information and documents relating to their respective Groups required by the other Company to prepare Tax Returns. The Responsible Company shall determine a reasonable compliance schedule for such purpose in accordance with Distributing Co.'s past practices. Any additional information or documents the Responsible Company requires to prepare such Tax Returns will be provided in accordance with past practices, if any, or as the Responsible Company reasonably requests and in sufficient time for the Responsible Company to file such Tax Returns on a timely basis.

The federal income Tax Returns of Home and its Subsidiaries for all years to and including 2008 have been examined by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or are Tax Returns with respect to which the applicable period for assessment under applicable law, after giving effect to extensions or waivers, has expired. Neither Home nor any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice of assessment or proposed assessment in connection with any Taxes, and there are no threatened in writing or pending disputes, claims, audits, examinations or other proceedings regarding any Tax of Home and its Subsidiaries or the assets of Home and its Subsidiaries.

Neither Home nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to or is bound by any Tax sharing, allocation or indemnification agreement or arrangement (other than such an agreement or arrangement exclusively between or among Home and its Subsidiaries). Neither Home nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has been a member of an affiliated group filing a consolidated federal income Tax Return (other than a group the common parent of which was Home) or (ii) has any liability for the Taxes of any person (other than Home or any of its Subsidiaries) under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law), as a transferee or successor, by contract or otherwise. Neither Home nor any of its Subsidiaries has been, within the past two (2) years or otherwise as part of a “plan (or series of related transactions)” within the meaning of Section 355(e) of the Code of which the Merger is also a part, a “distributing corporation” or a “controlled corporation” (within the meaning of Section 355(a)(1)(A) of the Code) in a distribution of stock intending to qualify for tax-free treatment under Section 355 of the Code. Neither Home nor any of its Subsidiaries has participated in a listed transaction within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4(b)(2) (or any predecessor provision), and neither Home nor any of its Subsidiaries has been notified of, or to the knowledge of Home or its Subsidiaries has participated in, a transaction that is described as a “reportable transaction” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4(b)(1). At no time during the past five (5) years has Home been a United States real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code. There are no Liens for Taxes upon the assets of Home or any of its Subsidiaries other than Liens for current Taxes not yet due and payable. As of the date hereof, neither Home nor its Subsidiaries has knowledge of any conditions which exist or which may fail to exist that might prevent or impede the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. No claim has ever been made by any Governmental Entity in a jurisdiction where Home or a Home Subsidiary does not file Tax Returns that Home or such Subsidiary is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. Neither Home nor any of its Subsidiaries has filed an election under Section 338(g) or 338(h)(10) of the Code.
