Tax Matters. The Participant has reviewed with the Participant's own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its employees or agents. The Participant understands that the Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Participant's own tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Participant understands that for U.S. taxpayers, Section 83 of the Code taxes as ordinary income the difference between the purchase price for the Shares, if any, and the fair market value of the Shares as of the date any restrictions on the Shares lapse. The Participant understands that if he or she is a U.S. taxpayer, the Participant may elect to be taxed at the time the Shares are granted rather than when the restrictions on the Shares laps by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days after the date of grant. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s sole responsibility and not the Company’s to, if the Participant desires to do so, file timely the election under Section 83(b) of the Code.

Tax Matters. No guaranteed payments, capital shifts or gross income allocations are intended to be reported by the Partnership or any Holder as a result of the terms of this Certificate. The Partnership and each Holder shall file all tax returns consistent with the foregoing intent, except as required pursuant to a final determination (as defined under Section 1313(a) of the Code); provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent such Holder or the Partnership from settling any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any governmental authority based upon or arising out of the foregoing, and no such person shall be required to litigate before any court any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any governmental authority challenging the foregoing. The provisions of ‎Exhibit C are incorporated herein by reference. The Partnership shall allocate income using the interim closing method as described in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.706-4.

Tax Matters.

Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries have paid all taxes shown as due thereon, except for any such failure to pay as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and Holdings has no knowledge of any material tax deficiency which has been or might be asserted or threatened against Holdings or any of the Material Subsidiaries.

Tax Matters. The Company has duly and timely filed or caused to be timely filed with the appropriate Tax Authority all Tax Returns required to be filed by, or with respect to, the Company and the Business. 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. Annex M sets forth each jurisdiction in which the Company files, is required to file or has been required to file a Tax Return or is or has been liable for any Taxes and each jurisdiction that has sent notices or communications of any kind requesting information relating to the Company’s nexus with such jurisdiction. Since the date of the Latest Balance Sheet, the Company has not incurred any liability for Taxes outside the ordinary course of business or otherwise inconsistent with past custom and practice. Annex M sets forth each jurisdiction in which the Company collects, is required to collect or has been required to collect sales or use and value added Taxes. The Company has collected all sales and use and value added Taxes required to be collected and has remitted on a timely basis such amounts to the appropriate Tax Authorities (or has been furnished properly completed exemption certificates). 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 has delivered or made available to Buyer complete and accurate copies of all Tax Returns of the Company or with respect to the Business for all taxable years remaining open under the applicable statute of limitations, including, promptly upon their availability, for the most recent taxable year, and complete and accurate copies of all audit or examination reports and statements of deficiencies assessed against or agreed to by the Company since the Company’s inception. The Company has not waived any statute of limitations in respect of Taxes or agreed to any extension of time with respect to a Tax assessment or deficiency which waiver or extension has not since expired, nor has any request been made in writing for any such extension or waiver. 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.
