Foreign Prepayment Event. Notwithstanding any other provisions of Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c), (A) to the extent that any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Prepayment Event set forth in clause (a) of the definition thereof by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(b) (a “Foreign Prepayment Event”) or Excess Cash Flow of a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a payment pursuant to Section 2.11(c) are prohibited by or would violate or conflict with any Requirement of Law from being repatriated to the Borrower or would conflict with the fiduciary duties of such Foreign Subsidiary’s directors, or result in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material risk of personal or criminal liability for any officer, director, employee, manager, member or management or consultant of such Foreign Subsidiary, an amount equal to the portion of such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c), as the case may be, so long, but only so long, as the applicable Requirement of Law will not permit repatriation to the Borrower (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly take all actions required by the applicable Requirement of Law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable Requirement of Law, an amount equal to such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than five Business Days after such repatriation is permitted) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof, other than any such taxes already taken into account by the definition of “Net Proceeds” or “Excess Cash Flow,” as applicable) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c), as applicable, (B) to the extent that and for so long as the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Prepayment Event or Excess Cash Flow would have a material adverse tax consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation in the year of such repatriation), including any withholding tax, with respect to such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow if such amount were repatriated as a dividend, an amount equal to the Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans (or other Loans required to be prepaid) at the times provided in Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c), as the case may be; provided that when the Borrower determines in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Prepayment Event or Excess Cash Flow would no longer have a material adverse tax consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation in the year of such repatriation) with respect to such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow if such amount were repatriated as a dividend, an amount equal to such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow shall be promptly (and in any event not later than five Business Days after such determination) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof, other than any such taxes already taken into account by the definition of “Net Proceeds” or “Excess Cash Flow,” as applicable) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c), as applicable and (C) in connection with any prepayment attributable to any joint venture, to the extent that repatriation of any or all of the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Prepayment Event or Excess Cash Flow of a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c), violate any organizational document of any joint venture (or any relevant shareholders’ or similar agreement) existing on the Closing Date or the date of investment in such joint venture (so long as such restrictions in such organizational documents were not entered into for purposes of circumventing such joint venture’s obligations to make any payment in respect of such Excess Cash Flow or a Foreign Prepayment Event), in each case if the amount subject to the relevant prepayment were upstreamed or transferred as a distribution or dividend, an amount equal to the portion of such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c), as the case may be, so long, but only so long, as the applicable organizational documents will not permit repatriation to the Borrower, and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable organizational documents, an amount equal to such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than five Business Days after such repatriation is permitted) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof, other than any such taxes already taken into account by the definition of “Net Proceeds” or “Excess Cash Flow,” as applicable) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c), as applicable.
