| (3) | where the Termination Amount is due from the Borrower, DBS Bank may declare such Termination Amount to be forthwith due and payable by the Borrower whereupon such Termination Amount shall become and be forthwith due and payable in the Termination Currency, without presentment, demand, protest, or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.
