(a) a reference in any of those provisions to the MRRT payable by a company or trustee, in relation to the intention of a person entering into, or the knowledge or belief of a person concerning, an arrangement or transaction is to be read as a reference to some or all of the MRRT due and payable by the company or the trustee at the time when the arrangement or transaction was entered into; and

(b) a reference in any of those provisions to future MRRT payable by a company or trustee, in relation to the intention of a person entering into, or the knowledge or belief of a person concerning, an arrangement or transaction is to be read as a reference to some or all of the MRRT that may reasonably be expected by that person to become payable by the company or trustee after the arrangement or transaction is entered into; and
