For the purposes of obtaining the judgment and making the calculation referred to in (i), the exchange rate shall be the average spot rate, on the relevant date, announced by the Bank of Canada for the Other Currency. Any additional amount owed under this Section 17.16 will constitute a cause of action distinct from the cause of action which gave rise to the judgment, and said judgment shall not constitute res judicata in that respect.
