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 Information Returns and Reports The Service Provider shall prepare and file, and require to be prepared and filed by any brokers or banks as to their Customers, with the appropriate governmental agencies, such information, returns and reports as are required to be so filed for reporting: (i) dividends and other distributions made; (ii) amounts withheld on dividends and other distributions and payments under applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations; and (iii) gross proceeds of sales transactions as required.

(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).
(d) The Company has, at all times since the date of its formation, been classified for federal (and all applicable state and local) income tax purposes as a partnership and not as a corporation, an association taxable as a corporation or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. Each Subsidiary of the Company has, at all times since the date of its formation, been classified for federal (and all applicable state and local) income tax purposes as a disregarded entity.

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).
Tax Returns and Elections The Company shall cause to be prepared and timely filed all federal, state and local income tax returns or other returns or statements required by applicable law. As soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, the Company shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Member all information with respect to the Company necessary for the Member’s federal and state income tax returns.
Income Tax Returns Borrower has no knowledge of any pending assessments or adjustments of its income tax payable with respect to any year.

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.
