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.
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.
Income Tax Returns Borrower has no knowledge of any pending assessments or adjustments of its income tax payable with respect to any year.
Tax Returns and Payment Each of the Partnership Entities has filed all foreign, federal, state and local tax returns that are required to be filed or has requested extensions thereof (except in any case in which the failure so to file would not have a Material Adverse Effect) and has paid all taxes required to be paid by it and any other assessment, fine or penalty levied against it, to the extent that any of the foregoing is due and payable, except for any such assessment, fine or penalty that is currently being contested in good faith or as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

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.

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. Edify has provided or made available to S1 complete and correct copies of its Tax Returns and all material correspondence and documents, if any, relating directly or indirectly to Taxes for each taxable year or other relevant period as to which the applicable statute of limitations has not run on the date hereof.
