At the request of Proposer or either Participant, a confidential disclosure agreement may be entered into separately by the parties.

LINKAGE OF CONDITIONAL GRANT REPAYMENTS
 
The monies given as a Conditional Grant shall be linked in value, until full Repayment, to the Index. As each increment of the grant is given, it shall thereafter be linked to the Grant Base Index. Upon Repayment of any portion of Proposer's obligations under Section B.3, Section B.5, Section B.6. or Annex E, such Repayment shall be linked to the Repayment Base Index.
 
At any Calculation Date, Proposer's obligations shall be calculated according to the following formula:
 
The Total Indexed Grant less the Total Indexed Repayments.
