|26.14 | Tax Consequences.It is the responsibility of the Participant to complete and file any tax returns and pay all taxes that may be required under Canadian, U.S. or other tax laws within the periods specified in those laws as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan. No Participating Entity shall be held responsible for any tax consequences to a Participant as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Plan is not intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 1.423-2(a) of the Treasury Regulations.
