All such Tax Returns are true, complete and accurate in all material respects. The Company is not currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return. No claim has ever been made by a Tax Authority in a jurisdiction where the Company does not file a Tax Return that the Company or the Business is or may be subject to Tax by that jurisdiction. All Taxes due and owing by the Company, or with respect to the Business, (whether or not shown on any Tax Returns) have been timely paid.

No deficiencies for Taxes with respect to the Company or the Business have been claimed, proposed or assessed by any Tax Authority. There are no pending or threatened audits, assessments or other actions for or relating to any liability in respect of Taxes of the Company or the Business. There are no matters under discussion with any Tax Authority, or known to the Company, with respect to Taxes that are likely to result in an additional liability for Taxes with respect to the Company or the Business. No issues relating to Taxes of the Company or with respect to the Business were raised by the relevant Tax Authority in any audit or examination that would reasonably be expected to result in Tax Liability with respect to the Business in a later taxable period.

The Company is not, and has never been, a party to or bound by any Tax indemnity agreement, Tax sharing agreement, Tax allocation agreement or similar Contract. The Company has withheld and paid to the relevant Tax Authority all Taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, and Seller of the Company or other Person. For purposes of this Section 3.18, any reference to the Company shall be deemed to include any predecessor of the Company or Person that merged with or was liquidated into the Company.

Certain Matters. Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to indemnify Indemnitee on account of any proceeding with respect to # remuneration paid to Indemnitee if it is determined by final judgment or other final adjudication that such remuneration was in violation of law (and, in this respect, both the Company and Indemnitee have been advised that the Securities and Exchange Commission believes that indemnification for liabilities arising under the federal securities laws is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable and that claims for indemnification should be submitted to appropriate courts for adjudication, as indicated in Section 11(d) below); # a final judgment rendered against Indemnitee for an accounting, disgorgement or repayment of profits made from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities of the Company against Indemnitee or in connection with a settlement by or on behalf of Indemnitee to the extent it is acknowledged by Indemnitee and the Company that such amount paid in settlement resulted from Indemnitee’s conduct from which Indemnitee received monetary personal profit, pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or other provisions of any federal, state or local statute or rules and regulations thereunder; # a final judgment or other final adjudication that Indemnitee’s conduct was in bad faith, knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest or constituted willful misconduct (but only to the extent of such specific determination); or # on account of conduct that is established by a final judgment as constituting a breach of Indemnitee’s duty of loyalty to the Company or resulting in any personal profit or advantage to which Indemnitee is not legally entitled. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, a final judgment or other adjudication may be reached in either the underlying proceeding or action in connection with which indemnification is sought or a separate proceeding or action to establish rights and liabilities under this Agreement.
