4.2 So far as the Seller is aware, all Permits required up to the Completion Date to entitle APICO to receive and benefit from its interest in the EU-1 and E5N Blocks and the L15/43 and L27/43 Blocks (as described in certain of the Key Documents) have been obtained and are in full force and effect.

5. INFORMATION

So far as the Seller is aware, the documents disclosed to the Purchaser are true and accurate copies of what is contained in the Seller’s files.

6. TAX

6.1 All returns, reports, information returns, estimates or other documents required to be filed in connection with the determination, assessment or collection of Taxes (as defined below) (collectively, “Returns”) have been filed with appropriate governmental agencies, domestic and foreign, by the Partnership (and by the Seller and PHTH with respect to the 93.77% LP Interest and 1% GP Interest, respectively, and, so far as the Seller is aware, by APICO) for each period for which any such returns, reports, or estimates were due (taking into account any extensions of time to file before the date hereof); all such returns are true and correct and all Taxes (as defined below) shown by such Returns to be due and payable have been paid by the Partnership (or the Seller and PHTH with respect to the 93.77% LP Interest and 1% GP Interest, respectively, and, so far as the Seller is aware, by APICO). None of the Partnership, the Seller, PHTH, or, so far as the Seller is aware, APICO has executed any waiver of any statute of limitations with respect to any Tax. The federal income tax returns of the Partnership and, so far as the Seller is aware, APICO have never been audited by the Internal Revenue Service or the taxing authorities of any other jurisdiction. There are no Tax liens on any assets of the Partnership or the Partnership Interest or, so far as the Seller is aware, APICO except for Taxes not yet currently due.

6.2 No director or officer (or employee responsible for Tax matters) of the Seller, PHTH or, so far as the Seller is aware, APICO expects any Authority to assess any additional Taxes for any period for which Tax Returns have been filed. No foreign, federal, state, or local tax audits or administrative or judicial Tax proceedings are pending or being conducted with respect to PHTH or, so far as the Seller is aware, APICO. Neither PHTH nor, so far as the Seller is aware, APICO has received from any foreign, federal, state, or local taxing authority (including jurisdictions where PHTH or APICO have not filed Tax Returns) any (i) notice indicating an intent to open an audit or other review, (ii) request for information related to Tax matters, or (iii) notice of deficiency proposed adjustment for any amount of Tax proposed, asserted, or assessed by any taxing authority against PHTH or APICO.

6.3 Neither PHTH nor, so far as the Seller is aware, APICO is a party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or plan that has resulted or would result, separately or in the aggregate, in the payment of (i) any “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of US Code 280G (or any corresponding provision of state, local or foreign Tax law) and (ii) any amount that will not be fully deductible as a result of US Code 162(m) (or any corresponding provision of state, local of foreign Tax law). PHTH and, so far as the Seller is aware, APICO have disclosed on their federal income Tax Returns all positions taken therein that could give rise to a substantial understatement of federal income Tax within the meaning of US Code 6662. Neither PHTH nor, so far as the Seller is aware, APICO is a party to or bound by any Tax allocation or sharing agreement.

6.4 The unpaid Taxes of PHTH and, so far as the Seller is aware, APICO (i) did not, as of the most recent fiscal month end, exceed the reserve for tax liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the most recent balance sheet and (ii) do not exceed that reserve as adjusted for the passage of time through the Completion Date in accordance with the past custom and practice of PHTH and APICO in filing their tax returns. Since the date of the most recent balance sheet, neither PHTH nor, so far as the Seller is aware, APICO has incurred any liability for Tax arising from extraordinary gains or losses, as that term is used in GAAP, outside the ordinary course of business consistent with past custom and practice.

6.5 For US tax purposes, neither PHTH nor, so far as the Seller is aware, APICO will be required to include any item of income in, or exclude any item of deduction from, taxable income for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending after the Completion Date as a result of any: (i) change in method of accounting for a taxable period ending on or prior to the Completion Date; (ii) “closing agreement” as described in Code 7121 (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local or foreign income Tax law) executed on or prior to the Completion Date; (iii) inter-company transactions or any excess loss account described in Treasury Regulations under Code 1502 (or any corresponding or similar provision of local or foreign income Tax law); (iv) instalment sale or open transaction of disposition made on or prior to the Completion Date.

6.6 For US tax purposes, neither PHTH nor, so far as the Seller is aware, APICO has distributed stock of another person, or has had its stock distributed by another person, in a transaction that was purported or intended to be governed in whole or in part by Code 355 or 361.

6.7 "Tax” or “Taxes,” as used herein, means any federal, state, local, or foreign income, gross receipts, license, payroll, employment, excise, severance, stamp, occupation, premium, windfall profits, environmental, customs duties, capital stock, franchise, profits, withholding, social security (or similar), unemployment, disability, real property, personal property, sales, use, transfer, registration, value added, alternative or add-on minimum, estimated, or other tax of any jurisdiction and of any kind whatsoever, whether computed on a separate or consolidated, unitary or combined basis or in any other manner, including any interest, penalty, or addition thereto, whether disputed or not and including any obligation to indemnify or otherwise assume or succeed to the Tax liability of any other person.

7.4 Except for the specific items identified in Clause 2.3.1, the Seller is not aware of any liability arising or becoming known between the Effective Date and Completion that would have resulted in an adjustment to the Reference Balance Sheet, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, had it arisen or become known prior to the Effective Date.
