20.4 | Confidentiality of Head Lease |

| (5) | If the GST Law treats part of a supply as a separate supply for the purpose of determining whether GST is payable on that part of the supply or for the purpose of determining the tax period to which that part of the supply is attributable, that part of the supply is to be treated as a separate supply. |
| (6) | Any reference to GST payable by the Tenant includes any corresponding GST payable by the representative member of any GST group of which the Tenant is a member. |
