In this regard: (a) The Investor acknowledges that, in order to comply with the provisions of the AEOI Regimes and avoid the imposition of U.S. federal withholding tax, the Board may, from time to time and to the extent provided under the AEOI Regimes, (i) require further information and/or documentation from the Investor, which information and/or documentation may (A) include, but is not limited to, information and/or documentation relating to or concerning the Investor, the Investor’s direct and indirect beneficial owners (if any), and any such Person’s identity, residence (or jurisdiction of formation) and income tax status, and (B) need to be certified by the Investor under penalties of perjury, and (ii) provide or disclose any such information and documentation to governmental agencies of the United States or other jurisdictions (including the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”)) and Persons from or through which the Company or any Company Subsidiary may receive payments or with which the Company or any Company Subsidiary may have an account (within the meaning of the AEOI Regimes). (b) The Investor agrees that it shall provide such information and/or documentation concerning itself and its direct and indirect beneficial owners (if any), as and when requested by the Board, as the Board, in its sole discretion, determines is necessary or advisable for the Company to comply with its obligations under the AEOI Regimes, including, but not limited to, in connection with the Company or any of its affiliates entering into or amending or modifying an “FFI Agreement,” as defined under the AEOI Regimes (each, an “FFI Agreement”), with the IRS and maintaining ongoing compliance with such agreement. The Investor should consult its tax advisors as to the type of information that may be required from the Investor under this Section 6.7. (c) Consistent with the AEOI Regimes, the Investor agrees to waive any provision of law of any jurisdiction that would, absent a waiver, prevent the Company’s compliance with its obligations under the AEOI Regimes, including under any FFI Agreement, and hereby consents to the disclosure by the Company or any Company Subsidiary of any information regarding the Investor (including information regarding its direct and indirect beneficial owners, if any) as the Company or any Company Subsidiary determines is necessary or advisable to comply with the AEOI Regimes (including the terms of any FFI Agreement). (d) The Investor acknowledges that if the Investor does not timely provide and/or update the requested information and/or documentation or waiver, as applicable (an “AEOI Compliance Failure”), the Board may, in its sole and absolute discretion and in addition to all other remedies available at law, in equity or under the Shareholders Agreement, cause the Investor to withdraw from the Company in whole or in part. (e) To the extent that the Company or any affiliate thereof suffers any withholding taxes, interest, penalties or other expenses or costs on account of the Investor’s AEOI Compliance Failure, unless otherwise agreed by the Board, (i) the Investor shall promptly pay upon demand by the Board to the Company or, at the Board’s direction, to the relevant affiliate, an amount equal to such withholding taxes, interest, penalties and other expenses and costs, or (ii) the Board may reduce the amount of the next distribution or distributions which would otherwise have been made to the Investor or, if such distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, reduce the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to the Investor by an amount equal to such withholding taxes, interest, penalties and other expenses and costs; provided, that (A) if the amount of the next succeeding distribution or distributions or proceeds of liquidation is reduced, such amount shall include an amount to cover interest on the amount of such withholding taxes, interest, penalties and other expenses and costs at the lesser of (1) the rate of two percent (2%) per annum over the rate of interest announced publicly from time to time by JPMorgan Chase Bank in New York, New York as such bank’s prime rate, and (2) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, and (B) should the Board elect to so reduce such distributions or proceeds, the Board shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Investor of its intention to do so. Whenever the Board makes any such reduction of the proceeds payable to the Investor pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, for all other purposes the Investor may be treated as having received all distributions (whether before or upon liquidation) unreduced by the amount of such reduction. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Board in writing, the Investor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates from and against any withholding taxes, interest, penalties or other expenses or costs with respect to the Investor’s AEOI Compliance Failure. (f) The Investor acknowledges that the Board (or the applicable affiliate of the Company) will determine in its sole discretion how to comply with the AEOI Regimes. (g) The Investor acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no claim against the Board or the Company (or its affiliates) for any damages or liabilities attributable to any AEOI Regimes compliance related determinations pursuant to Section 6.7(f).
