In a Nutshell Clause 6.3:

6.3 Manufactured payments in respect of Non-Cash Collateral
Where Borrower provides the Lender with Non Cash Collateral over an Income Record Date Lender must, on the date the Income is paid, manufacture an equivalent amount of Income to Borrower that Lender would have received on that Non Cash Collateral had it held it on the Income Record Date and not been entitled to any Tax relief on that payment under Applicable Law.

There is quite a lot of hedging around with conditionals — “the amount the Lender would have received had it held...” — that looks quite unnecessary — and truthfully, is — but is designed to cater for the details freak/paranoid weirdos in the legal department, because (a) being a title transfer agreement, the Lender is not obliged to, and may well not, hold on to any collateral it has been delivered, and thus may not be entitled to interest on the Collateral at all, and (b) the Lender is only obliged to manufacture the payment if the Collateral Issuer actually makes the payment, and not if it is obliged to make the payment, but then fails to (because it has blown up, for example.

So there's a sort of four way matrix here to determine whether a Lender has to manufacture a payment.

Issuer/Lender Lender held Collateral Lender

hold Collateral

Issuer made payment Yes Yes
Issuer failed payment No No

Snafu under the 2000 GMSLA

Note this is all somewhat complicated under the 2000 GMSLA because the drafting committee rather muffed their job. See Clause 6.2.
