If, in respect of the same fiat or the same Acceptable Token, the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by one party exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the other party, such payment and delivery obligations will be replaced by an obligation upon the party by which the larger aggregate amount would have been payable to pay to the other party the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount.

8.3              We are entitled to exercise a general lien over any or all of your property which (for any reason) is in or comes into our possession or control, except that this lien does not cover any property where it may give rise to any obligation to disclose an interest on our part.
