(e)                                  No claim has ever been made by any Taxing Authority with respect to Invest or any Subsidiary in a jurisdiction where Invest or any Subsidiary does not file Tax Returns that Invest or any Subsidiary is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. There are no security interests on any of the assets of Invest or any Subsidiary that arose in connection with any failure (or alleged failure) to pay any Taxes and, except for liens for real and personal property Taxes that are not yet due and payable, there are no liens for any Taxes upon any assets of Invest or any Subsidiary.

 

(f)                                    No extension of time with respect to any date by which a Tax Return was or is to be filed by or with respect to Invest or any Subsidiary is in force, and no waiver or agreement by Invest or any Subsidiary is in force for the extension of time for the assessment or payment of any Taxes.

 

(g)                                 Neither Invest nor any of the Subsidiaries has granted a power of attorney to any Person with respect to any Taxes.
