is able at the opening of business (London time) on the Business Day after it receives the sum concerned to purchase the Contractual Currency with the Payment Currency.

This Clause 20.5 creates a separate liability of the Borrower which is distinct from its other liabilities under the Finance Documents and which shall not be merged in any judgment or order relating to
those other liabilities.



|20.6 | Application of Master Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Clause 20.5 does not apply in respect of sums due from the Borrower to the Lender under or in

|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(c) | the amount due in respect of the payment shall be increased by the amount necessary to ensure that the Lender receives and retains (free from any liability relating to
the tax deduction) a net amount which, after the tax deduction, is equal to the full amount which it would otherwise have received.
