(e) No Event of Default or breach of any representation and warranty or undertaking under this Agreement or the other Finance Documents shall arise merely as a result of a subsequent change in the sterling equivalent or any other currency specified for any basket due to fluctuations in exchange rates. (f) For any relevant basket set by reference to a Financial Year, yearly period, year from the Closing Date, a calendar year (or similar) (each an “Annual Period”): (i) at the option of the Company, the maximum amount so permitted under such basket during such Annual Period may be increased by: (A) an amount equal to 100 per cent. of the difference (if positive) between the permitted amount in the immediately preceding Annual Period and the amount thereof actually used or applied by the Group during such preceding Annual Period (the “Carry Forward Amount”); and/or (B) an amount equal to 100 per cent. of the permitted amount in the immediately following Annual Period and the permitted amount in such immediately following Annual Period shall be reduced by such corresponding amount (the “Carry Back Amount”); and (ii) to the extent that the maximum amount so permitted under such basket during such Annual Period is increased in accordance with paragraph 1.4(f)(i) above, any usage of such basket during such Annual Period shall be deemed to be applied in the following order: (A) first, against the Carry Forward Amount; (B) secondly against the maximum amount so permitted during such Annual Period prior to any increase in accordance with paragraph (i) above; and (C) thirdly against the Carry Back Amount, provided that no Carry Forward Amount may be carried forward for more than one successive Annual Period, save for any Carry Forward Amounts in respect of annual baskets set out in the Section 1 (Limitation on Restricted Payments) in Schedule 16 (General Undertakings) (other than the Share Repurchases Basket). (g) In the event that any Applicable Metric required to be determined by reference to a fixed amount or a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA (a “fixed permission”) under this Agreement is intended to be concurrently utilised together with any Applicable Metric required to be determined by reference to a ratio (including by reference to Consolidated Net Leverage or the Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio) (a “ratio-based permission”) under this Agreement in a single Applicable Transaction or series of related Applicable Transactions (including with respect to any Incremental Facilities and/or Indebtedness permitted to be incurred in accordance with this Agreement) then, unless the Company elects otherwise: (i) compliance with, or satisfaction of, any Applicable Metric for the portion of such Applicable Transaction to be incurred under any such ratio-based permission shall first be calculated without giving effect to amounts being incurred pursuant to any fixed permissions, but giving full pro forma effect to all applicable and related transactions (including, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and subject to the foregoing with respect to fixed permissions, any incurrence and redemption or repayment of indebtedness) and all other permitted pro forma adjustments; and (ii) thereafter, incurrence of the portion of such Applicable Transaction to be incurred under any fixed permissions shall be calculated.
