Tax Returns and Tax Payments (i) The Company has timely filed with the appropriate taxing authorities all Tax Returns required to be filed by it (taking into account all applicable extensions). All such Tax Returns are true, correct and complete in all respects. 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 unpaid Taxes of the Company did not, as of the Company Balance Sheet Date, exceed the reserve for Tax liability (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the financial statements (rather than in any notes thereto). Since the Company Balance Sheet Date, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has incurred any liability for Taxes outside the ordinary course of business consistent with past custom and practice. As of the Closing Date, the unpaid Taxes of the Company and its subsidiaries will not exceed the reserve for Tax liability (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the books and records of the Company.
(ii) No material claim for unpaid Taxes has been made or become a lien against the property of the Company or is being asserted against the Company, no audit of any Tax Return of the Company is being conducted by a tax authority, and no extension of the statute of limitations on the assessment of any Taxes has been granted by the Company and is currently in effect. 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.

No consent to the application of Section 341(f)(2) of the Code has been filed with respect to any property or assets held, acquired, or to be acquired by Edify. All Taxes that Edify is or was required to withhold or collect have been duly withheld or collected and, to the extent required, have been paid to the proper Taxing Authority. All liability with respect to the Tax Returns of Edify has been satisfied for all years to and including 1998. No Taxing Authority has notified Edify of, or otherwise asserted, that there are any material deficiencies with respect to the Tax Returns of Edify subsequent to 1994. There are no material disputes pending, or claims asserted, for Taxes or assessments of Edify, nor has Edify given or been requested to give any currently effective waiver extending the statutory period of limitation applicable to any Tax Return. In addition, Tax Returns that are accurate and complete in all material respects have been filed by Edify for all periods for which returns were due with respect to income and employment tax withholding with respect to wages and other income and the amounts shown on such Tax Returns to be due and payable have been paid in full or adequate provision therefor in accordance with GAAP has been included by Edify in the financial statements referred to in Sections 3.5 and 6.8 hereto. All Edify Tax Returns have been examined by the relevant Taxing Authorities, or closed without audit by applicable statutes of limitations, and all deficiencies proposed as a result of such examinations have been paid or settled, for all periods before and including the taxable year ended December 31, 1994.

Such reimbursement shall be made forthwith upon the Sponsor certifying that the amount of such credit or remission has been received by it. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall oblige the Sponsor to rearrange its tax affairs or to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs and computations.

9.6.2 If the Guarantor is prevented by applicable law from validly contesting such claim in its own name or if it is necessary for the Sponsor to join in or assist in the contesting by the Guarantor of any claim, upon request of the Guarantor supported by an opinion of counsel selected by the Guarantor reasonably acceptable to the Sponsor confirming that there is a reasonable basis for contesting the validity, applicability or amount of such Taxes, the Sponsor shall, subject to sub-clause 8.7.3, in good faith, at the Guarantor’s expense, contest or assist in contesting the imposition of such Tax. After considering any views offered by the Sponsor and the Sponsor’s counsel concerning the forum in which a claim is most likely to be favourably resolved, the Guarantor may in its sole discretion select the forum for such consent and determine whether any such contest shall be by (a) resisting payment of such Tax, (b) paying such Tax under protest, (c) paying such Tax and seeking a refund or other repayment thereof or (d) seeking a reduction in the amount of such Tax.
9.6.3 In no event shall the Sponsor be required to contest nor shall the Sponsor be required to join in or assist in contesting the imposition of any such Tax:

(c) if such contest shall be conducted in a manner requiring the prior payment of the claim by the Sponsor or, if the Guarantor shall request the Sponsor to make payment thereof pursuant to sub-clauses (b) or (c) of Clause 8.7.2 unless the Guarantor shall have advanced to the Sponsor sufficient funds (on an interest free basis) (and if such payment results in Taxable income to the Sponsor in respect of which the Sponsor does not receive a corresponding deduction, on an after tax basis) to make such payment.
Tax Payment In the event it shall be determined that any ----------- payment (other than the payment provided for in this Section 10(a)) or ----- distribution of any type to or for the benefit of the Executive, by the Company, any Affiliate of the Company, any Person who acquires ownership or effective control of the Company or ownership of a substantial portion of the Company's assets (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the regulations thereunder) or any Affiliate of such Person, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (the "Total Payments"), is or will be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then the Executive shall be entitled to receive a payment in an amount equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Total Payments; provided, however that the Total -------- ------- Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) if and to the extent that a reduction in the Total Payments would result in the Executive retaining a larger amount, on an after-tax basis (taking into account federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax) than if the Executive received the entire amount of such Total Payments and the amount equal to the Excise Tax. Unless the Executive shall have given prior written notice specifying a different order to the Company to effectuate the foregoing, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the Total Payments by first reducing or eliminating the portion of the Total Payments which are not payable in cash and then by reducing or eliminating cash payments, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid the farthest in time from the Determination (as hereinafter defined).
