4.4 Upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Date:
(i) neither Party shall be obliged to make any further payments or deliveries under any Transactions governed by these terms which would, but for this Clause, have fallen due for performance on or after the Liquidation Date and such obligations shall be satisfied by settlement (whether by payment, set-off or otherwise) of the Liquidation Amount;
(ii) the Non-Defaulting Party shall (on, or as soon as reasonably practicable after, the Liquidation Date) determine (discounting if appropriate), in respect of each Transaction governed by these terms, its total cost, loss or, as the case may be, gain, in each case expressed in the Non-Defaulting Party’s Base Currency (and, if appropriate, including any loss of bargain, cost of funding or, without duplication, cost, loss or, as the case may be, gain as a result of the termination, liquidation, obtaining, performing or re-establishing of any hedge or related trading position), as a result of the termination, pursuant to this agreement, of each payment or delivery which would otherwise have been required to be made under such Transaction (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent and having due regard to, if appropriate, such market quotations published on, or official settlement prices set by, a relevant exchange or clearing organisation as may be available on, or immediately preceding, the date of calculation); and
(iii) the Non-Defaulting Party shall treat each cost or loss to it, determined as above, as a positive amount and each gain by it, so determined, as a negative amount and aggregate all of such amounts to produce a single, net positive or negative amount, denominated in the Non-Defaulting Party’s Base Currency (the “Liquidation Amount”).
4.5 If the Liquidation Amount determined pursuant to Clause 4.4 is a positive amount, the Defaulting Party shall pay it to the Non-Defaulting Party and if it is a negative amount, the Non-Defaulting Party shall pay it to the Defaulting Party. The Non-Defaulting Party shall notify the Defaulting Party of the Liquidation Amount, and by which Party it is payable, immediately after the calculation of such amount.
4.6 Unless the Parties specify otherwise in Schedule 1 or otherwise, where termination and liquidation occurs in accordance with Clause 4.4, the Non-Defaulting Party shall also be entitled, at its discretion, to apply the provisions of Clause 4.4 to any other Transactions entered into between the Parties which are then outstanding, as if each such Transaction were a Transaction governed by these terms.
4.7 The amount payable by one Party to the other Party pursuant to the provisions of Clause 4.5, or any applicable laws or regulations, shall be paid in the Non-Defaulting Party’s Base Currency by the close of business on the business day following the completion of the termination and liquidation under Clause 4.4, or any laws or regulations having a similar effect, (converted as required by applicable law into any other currency, any costs of such conversion to be borne by, and (if applicable) deducted from any payment to, the Defaulting Party). Any such amount which is not paid on the due date therefore shall bear interest, at the average rate at which overnight deposits in the currency of such payment are offered by major banks in the London interbank market as of 11.00 a.m. (London time) (or, if no such rate is available, at such reasonable rate as the Non-Defaulting Party may select) plus 1% per annum, for each day for which such amount remains unpaid.
4.8 For the purposes of any calculation hereunder, the Non-Defaulting Party may convert amounts denominated in any other currency into the Non-Defaulting Party’s Base Currency at such rate prevailing at the time of the calculation as it shall reasonably select.
4.9 The Non-Defaulting Party’s rights under this Clause 4 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation or exclusion of, any other rights which the Non-Defaulting Party may have (whether by agreement, operation of law or otherwise).
