The above notwithstanding, if the payment by PBG to Licensor in United States Dollars or other currency is not permissible, such payment may be made by a deposit in the currency of the country where the Net Revenues were generated to the credit and account of Licensor in any commercial bank or trust company of PBG choice in that country; prompt notice of which shall be given to Licensor.
