"(f) Any
amount (the "Early Termination Amount") payable to one party (the "Payee") by
the other party (the "Payer") under Section 6(e), in circumstances where there
is a Defaulting Party or one Affected Party in the case where a Termination
Event under Section 5(b)(iv) or 5(b)(v) has occurred, will, at the option of the
party ("X") other than the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party ("Y") (and
without prior notice to Y), be reduced by its set-off against any amount(s) (the
"Other Agreement Amount") payable (whether at such time or in the future or upon
the occurrence of a contingency) by the Payee to the Payer (irrespective of the
currency, place of payment or booking office of the obligation) under any other
agreement(s) between the Payee and the Payer or instrument(s) or undertaking(s)
issued or executed by one party to, or in favour of, the other party (and the
Other Agreement Amount will be discharged promptly and in all respects to the
extent it is so set-off). X will give notice to Y of any set-off effected under
this Section 6(f).
For this
purpose, either the Early Termination Amount or the Other Agreement Amount (or
the relevant portion of such amounts) may be converted by X into the currency in
which the other is denominated at the rate of exchange at which such party would
be able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith, to purchase the
relevant amount of such currency.
If an
obligation is unascertained, X may in good faith estimate that obligation and
set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to
the other when the obligation is ascertained.
Nothing
in this Section 6(f) shall be effective to create a charge or other security
interest. This Section 6(f) shall be without prejudice and in addition to any
right of set-off, combination of accounts, lien or other right to which any
party is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, contract
or otherwise)."

unless and until the conditions set forth in (i) and (ii) below have been
satisfied, at which time there shall arise an obligation of the

obligations (contingent or absolute, matured or unmatured) of the
