Arkansas IRP Electronic Filing Agreement

THIS AGREEMENT by and between the Arkansas International Registration Plan (“IRP”) and "Taxpayer", as follows:

WHEREAS, Taxpayer desires to file with IRP certain IRP Applications and Renewals or other documents by electronic means in substitution for conventional paper forms provided or approved by IRP, and Taxpayer further desires that such electronic filings shall be as valid as, and have the full force and effect of, a properly completed and filed conventional application or renewal;

NOW THEREFORE the parties agree as follows:

1. IRP authorizes Taxpayer to file IRP Renewals or other documents required to be filed with the IRP under the provisions of the Arkansas Statutes Section 27-14-501 through 27-14-504, by means of electronic transmission for the duration of this Agreement. Taxpayer's electronic transmission of such reports or returns must be made in a manner compatible with the IRP's software, equipment and facilities.
   
   
2. The signature(s) of the Taxpayer and each of the Taxpayer's authorized agents, as affixed to this Agreement, shall be deemed to be affixed to and appear on each such electronically filed report or return, as if actually so appearing. The electronic filing of a report or return hereunder shall be deemed to be a declaration by the Taxpayer and each person whose signature is affixed hereto as an authorized agent for Taxpayer that such report or return is verified as correct and is signed by each of them under the penalties of perjury.
   
   
3. If any person whose signature appears hereon as the authorized agent of the Taxpayer leaves the employment of the Taxpayer or becomes no longer authorized to sign such reports or returns for the Taxpayer, Taxpayer and/or such person shall immediately notify the IRP in writing of such fact. No person who is or may be liable for any tax, penalty or interest shall be relieved of such liability with respect to any report or return filed or required to be filed prior to the actual receipt by the IRP of the written notice herein required.
   
   
4. If all persons signing this agreement on behalf of the Taxpayer leave Taxpayer's employment or become no longer authorized to sign such documents or renewals for Taxpayer, the Taxpayer's right to file reports or returns electronically shall automatically be terminated. However, new or additional authorized agents may be added to this Agreement by addendum as herein provided.
   
   
5. The term of this Agreement shall be for five (5) years from the date hereof, unless sooner terminated or cancelled as herein provided.
   
   
6. The IRP or the Taxpayer may cancel this Agreement at any time on sixty (60) days' notice to the other party.
   
   
7. This Agreement can be amended at any time by the execution of a written addendum hereto by the IRP and the Taxpayer.
   
   
8. The place of performance of this Agreement is Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas. It shall be governed by Arkansas Law.
