(1) Salaries between the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and Iran will be made from the Czechoslovak side of the Czechoslovak Commercial Bank, a. s., Prague, and from the Iranian side of Bank Markazi Iran, Tehran.
(2) Bank Markazi Iran, Tehran, acting on behalf of the Imperial Government of Iran, will open an account in the name of the Czechoslovak Commercial Bank, a. s., Prague, an account in US dollars (unit of account) entitled "Clearing Account of the Czechoslovak Commercial Bank, a. s., Prague."
(3) Czechoslovak Commercial Bank, a. s., Prague, acting on behalf of the Government of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, will open in its books the name of Bank Markazi Iran, Tehran, an account in US dollars (unit of account) called "Clearing Account Bank Markazi Iran, Tehran."
These accounts will not be remunerated and will be conducted without bank charges.
(4) In favour of the "Clearing Account of Bank Markazi Iran, Tehran," the amounts to be credited to the remuneration of natural and legal persons based in Czechoslovakia for the benefit of natural and legal persons residing in Iran will be the amounts of payment orders received and executed by the Czechoslovak Commercial Bank, a. s., Prague.
(5) In favour of the "Clearing Account of the Czechoslovak Commercial Bank, a. s., Prague," the amounts to be credited to the remuneration of natural and legal persons residing in Iran for the benefit of natural and legal persons residing in Czechoslovakia will be the amounts of payment orders received and executed by Bank Markazi Iran, Tehran.
(1) Czechoslovak Commercial Bank, a. s., Prague, and Bank Markazi Iran, Tehran, will immediately communicate to each other all salaries made under this Agreement.
(2) The payments to beneficiaries shall be made by both banks in the order of payment orders received and within the accounts balances referred to in Article 2, taking into account the technical credit referred to in Article 5 below.

If the balance exceeds the technical credit, the two parties shall agree on the necessary measures to cover this delay by supplying goods within three months.
If the transaction is not settled within three months, the debtor party shall pay, at the request of the creditor party, within 14 days of the date of such request, the amount of the transaction in US dollars or other mutually acceptable currency.
However, the creditor party shall make a favourable assessment of the debtor party's application for a special credit, provided that such an application is submitted within the aforementioned three-month period.

Upon expiry of this Agreement, clearing accounts shall remain open for a period of 6 months in order to allow the debtor party to settle the balance by exporting goods to a creditor party whose authorities issue the relevant import authorisation if such authorisation is required by applicable laws and regulations in the country concerned.
If, at the end of this six-month period, the clearing accounts still show a balance, the debtor party will be obliged to settle it immediately at the request of the creditor party in US dollars or in any other free currency agreed upon by both parties.
Transactions which remain outstanding after the expiry of the above deadline of 6 months shall be settled in the usual manner in accordance with the provisions in force on the date of payment.
Balances recognised on 30 June 1974 in the accounts referred to in Article 2 Payment agreements between the Government of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and the Imperial Government of Iran, signed on 12 March 1969, shall be transferred to the new clearing accounts referred to in Article 2 of this Agreement.
Salaries from contracts concluded under agreements signed on 12 March 1969, not yet settled by the date of entry into force of this Agreement, shall be made through the accounts referred to in Article 2 of this Agreement.
