A new clause should be added below this.

‘This long-term interest account can only hold up to a value of (on this current date,

maintained within this corrected value.

This value is subjected to a 7.5% increase in value per annum to counter the effects of
inflation.

The treasurer can only access this fund upon the knowledge that all funds outside this
account total to 50% of the value in the long-term interest account.
