2.8 Tax Returns. Within the times and in the manner prescribed by law, WIN has filed all federal, state and local tax returns required by law and has paid all taxes, assessments and penalties due and payable except such liabilities that may arise from WIN’s switch from the cash basis of accounting to the accrual basis of accounting in 1998.
