(a) Subject to Section 2.16(b), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Inconvertibility Event the Borrower shall pay all amounts due and owing under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to or for the joint and exclusive benefit of each Senior Lender that as a result of such Inconvertibility Event is not able to receive or obtain in the contractual place of payment Convertible Currencies in respect of payment obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (each such Senior Lender, an “Affected Senior Lender”) into one or more escrow accounts in the Country in the name of, or in trust for, or otherwise for the joint and exclusive benefit of, all Affected Senior Lenders (“Escrow Account”)(and on terms satisfactory to all such Affected Senior Lenders) in RMB or, if permitted, in Dollars, to be held in such Escrow Account until the Inconvertibility Event no longer exists, such Affected Senior Lenders are able to receive or obtain such payment or no such amounts remain unpaid at which time, if any such amounts remain unpaid, all amounts held in such Escrow Account shall be converted into Dollars and paid to the Affected Senior Lenders and applied against amounts due and owing under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and not paid by virtue of such Inconvertibility Event based on their pro rata shares of such amounts and, if no such amounts remain unpaid, the amounts standing to the credit of the Escrow Account shall be returned in full to the Borrower. If, following conversion into Dollars the amount is greater than that required to pay all such amounts due and owing or there are no such amounts owing to the Affected Senior Lenders in respect of which such funds were originally credited to the Escrow Account, the balance shall be paid to the Borrower, and if the amount is less than required, the Borrower shall promptly pay the unpaid balance to the relevant Affected Senior Lender(s).
(b) To the extent that on any date when payments are due and owing to the Senior Lenders under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document an Inconvertibility Event has occurred and any Authority of the Country having the power to regulate foreign exchange has permitted the Borrower to convert RMB into, and/or transfer, Convertible Currencies in order to pay obligations which are due and owing to any Senior Lender (a “Non-Affected Senior Lender”), payment by the Borrower of amounts to
- 22 -
each such Non-Affected Senior Lender shall only be made contemporaneously with the payment to an Escrow Account in RMB or, if permitted, in Dollars of the amount that cannot be paid to the Affected Senior Lenders on that date by virtue of the Inconvertibility Event (applying in relation to any payment in RMB to an Escrow Account an exchange rate equal to the Applicable Exchange Rate on the day prior to such payment) and, in the event that the Borrower has insufficient funds to make payment in full in accordance with this Section 2.16(b) to the Non-Affected Senior Lender and to the relevant Escrow Account in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.16(b), payments shall be made pro rata to such amounts owing to all Senior Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of this Section 2.16, references to amounts “due” or “owing” on any date shall exclude amounts that fell due on an earlier date and cannot be paid by virtue of an Inconvertibility Event but in respect of which the Borrower has previously already paid the required amount into the relevant Escrow Account regardless of any intermediate rate variation.
(c) For the avoidance of doubt:
(i) | neither the existence of an Inconvertibility Event nor any provision of this Section 2.16 shall in any way modify, vary or constitute a defence to, the obligations of the Borrower to make payments in Dollars in full when due and payable under the Transaction Documents in the required place of payment whether or not the Borrower is subject to any Inconvertibility Event and payment to an Escrow Account shall not constitute payment for these purposes; and |
(ii) | if whilst an Inconvertibility Event is continuing, any Authority of the Country having the power to regulate foreign exchange permits an Affected Senior Lender holding funds in an Escrow Account to convert RMB into, and/or transfer, Convertible Currencies outside the Country then such Affected Senior Lender shall be entitled to receive and convert and/or transfer its pro rata share of funds held in such Escrow Account and the provisions of Section 2.16(a) shall apply thereto and, for the avoidance of doubt, any shortfall remaining after transfer and/or conversion shall remain due and owing from the Borrower. |
(d) Any amount remitted by a Senior Lender to another Senior Lender pursuant to the Intercreditor and Security Sharing Agreement, shall be treated as having been paid by the Borrower to such other Senior Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. On such distribution by a Senior Lender of a payment received by that Senior Lender from the Borrower, as between such Senior Lender and the Borrower an amount equal to the amount received by such Senior Lender and distributed to the other Senior Lender will be treated as not having been paid by the Borrower.

ANTI-CORRUPTION GUIDELINES
FOR IFC TRANSACTIONS
The purpose of these Guidelines is to clarify the meaning of the terms “Corrupt Practices”, “Fraudulent Practices”, “Coercive Practices,” “Collusive Practices” and “Obstructive Practices” in the context of IFC operations.
1. | CORRUPT PRACTICES |
A “Corrupt Practice” is the offering, giving, receiving or soliciting, directly or indirectly, of anything of value to influence improperly the actions of another party.
INTERPRETATION
A. | Corrupt practices are understood as kickbacks and bribery. The conduct in question must involve the use of improper means (such as bribery) to violate or derogate a duty owed by the recipient in order for the payor to obtain an undue advantage or to avoid an obligation. Antitrust, securities and other violations of law that are not of this nature are excluded from the definition of corrupt practices. |
B. | It is acknowledged that foreign investment agreements, concessions and other types of contracts commonly require investors to make contributions for bona fide social development purposes or to provide funding for infrastructure unrelated to the project. Similarly, investors are often required or expected to make contributions to bona fide local charities. These practices are not viewed as Corrupt Practices for purposes of these definitions, so long as they are permitted under local law and fully disclosed in the payor’s books and records. Similarly, an investor will not be held liable for corrupt or fraudulent practices committed by entities that administer bona fide social development funds or charitable contributions. |
C. | In the context of conduct between private parties, the offering, giving, receiving or soliciting of corporate hospitality and gifts that are customary by internationally-accepted industry standards shall not constitute corrupt practices unless the action violates applicable law. |
D. | Payment by private sector persons of the reasonable travel and entertainment expenses of public officials that are consistent with existing practice under relevant law and international conventions will not be viewed as Corrupt Practices. |
- 63 -
ANNEX I
Page 2 of 3
E. | The World Bank Group does not condone facilitation payments. For the purposes of implementation, the interpretation of “Corrupt Practices” relating to facilitation payments will take into account relevant law and international conventions pertaining to corruption. |
2. | FRAUDULENT PRACTICES |
A “Fraudulent Practice” is any action or omission, including misrepresentation, that knowingly or recklessly misleads, or attempts to mislead, a party to obtain a financial or other benefit or to avoid an obligation.
INTERPRETATION
A. | An action, omission, or misrepresentation will be regarded as made recklessly if it is made with reckless indifference as to whether it is true or false. Mere inaccuracy in such information, committed through simple negligence, is not enough to constitute a “Fraudulent Practice” for purposes of World Bank Group sanctions. |
B. | Fraudulent Practices are intended to cover actions or omissions that are directed to or against a World Bank Group entity. It also covers Fraudulent Practices directed to or against a World Bank Group member country in connection with the award or implementation of a government contract or concession in a project financed by the World Bank Group. Frauds on other third parties are not condoned but are not specifically sanctioned in IFC, MIGA, or PRG operations. Similarly, other illegal behavior is not condoned, but will not be sanctioned as a Fraudulent Practice under the World Bank sanctions program as applicable to IFC, MIGA and PRG operations. |
3. | COERCIVE PRACTICES |
A “Coercive Practice” is impairing or harming, or threatening to impair or harm, directly or indirectly, any party or the property of the party to influence improperly the actions of a party.
INTERPRETATION
A. | Coercive Practices are actions undertaken for the purpose of bid rigging or in connection with public procurement or government contracting or in furtherance of a Corrupt Practice or a Fraudulent Practice. |
B. | Coercive Practices are threatened or actual illegal actions such as personal injury or abduction, damage to property, or injury to legally recognizable interests, in order to obtain an undue advantage or to avoid an obligation. It is not intended to cover hard bargaining, the exercise of legal or contractual remedies or litigation. |
- 64 -
ANNEX I
Page 3 of 3
4. | COLLUSIVE PRACTICES |
A “Collusive Practice” is an arrangement between two or more parties designed to achieve an improper purpose, including to influence improperly the actions of another party.
INTERPRETATION
Collusive Practices are actions undertaken for the purpose of bid rigging or in connection with public procurement or government contracting or in furtherance of a Corrupt Practice or a Fraudulent Practice.
5. | OBSTRUCTIVE PRACTICES |
An “Obstructive Practice” is (i) deliberately destroying, falsifying, altering or concealing of evidence material to the investigation or making of false statements to investigators, in order to materially impede a World Bank Group investigation into allegations of a corrupt, fraudulent, coercive or collusive practice, and/or threatening, harassing or intimidating any party to prevent it from disclosing its knowledge of matters relevant to the investigation or from pursuing the investigation, or (ii) acts intended to materially impede the exercise of IFC’s access to contractually required information in connection with a World Bank Group investigation into allegations of a corrupt, fraudulent, coercive or collusive practice.
INTERPRETATION
Any action legally or otherwise properly taken by a party to maintain or preserve its regulatory, legal or constitutional rights such as the attorney-client privilege, regardless of whether such action had the effect of impeding an investigation, does not constitute an Obstructive Practice.
GENERAL INTERPRETATION
A person should not be liable for actions taken by unrelated third parties unless the first party participated in the prohibited act in question.

Action Plan
United Family Hospital – IFC review. - 18Dec2012
Level of the building | Corrective measure | Justification | Priority (estimated time frame for completion) | |||||
1 | 5th floor | Installation of fire alarm notification devices (vibrating bells), smoke detection in fifth floor level (dormitory area for Hospital personnel). The vibrating bells shall be installed in at both ends of the corridor in that floor and additional one near the main dormitory area (we have estimated three (3) devices as a minimum quantity) for this area. Provide exit signs as well in this area.
[5th floor – dormitories] | The area designated for employee dormitories and services (bathrooms, etc) is located in the fifth floor. That space of the building has only one means of egress and at this time is not provided with fire alarm notification or smoke detection. The prompt notification of the personnel in that area will permit a fast reaction for a safe evacuation and also they could perform tasks for the control of the emergency (assisting patients, controlling the fire, etc). | February 2013 (2 month). |

2 | 1st floor | Installation of smoke detection and fire alarm notification in the corridor near the MRI room and also smoke detection in the MRI control room; for a total of three (3) smoke detectors and one (1) vibrating xxxx as a minimum in this area of the first floor.
[MRI room] | This area of the building is not provided with any fire alarm system or smoke detection. | February 2013 (2 month). |

3 | Various levels (Doors in Central stair near the elevator lobby) | Provide fire alarm signal interfacing the security doors located in the central stair intermediate landings. The lock power of the doors shall be automatically released at a fire alarm in the building. A fire alarm interface relay shall be provided at each one of the door lock power controllers for these security doors in the building.

FORM OF SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE
This Solvency Certificate (the “Certificate”) of Beijing United Family Hospital Co., Ltd. a company organized and existing under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (the “Borrower”), is delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(j) of the Loan Agreement dated as of [ ] (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) between the Borrower and IFC. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.
I, [NAME], the duly elected, qualified and acting [TITLE] of the Borrower, DO HEREBY CERTIFY as follows:
1. I have carefully reviewed the Loan Agreement and the other IFC Financing Documents and such other documents as I have deemed relevant and the contents of this Certificate and, in connection herewith, have made such investigation, as I have deemed necessary therefore. I further certify that the financial information and assumptions which underlie and form the basis for the representations made in this Certificate were reasonable when made and were made in good faith and continue to be reasonable as of the date hereof.
2. I have reviewed all financial information delivered to IFC pursuant to Articles III and IV of the Loan Agreement (the “Information”). I am familiar with the financial performance and prospects of the Borrower and hereby confirm that the Information was prepared in good faith and fairly presents the Borrower’s consolidated financial condition, based on the information available to the Borrower at the time so furnished.
3. As of the date hereof, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (other than the Intercreditor and Security Sharing Agreement), the fair value (as defined herein) and the present fair salable value (as defined herein) of any and all property of the Borrower is greater than the probable liability on existing debts (as defined herein) of the Borrower as they become absolute and matured.
4. As of the date hereof, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (other than the Intercreditor and Security Sharing Agreement), the Borrower is able to pay its debts (including, without limitation, contingent and subordinated liabilities) as they become absolute and mature (as defined herein).
- 82 -
SCHEDULE 4
Page 2 of 2
5. The Borrower does not intend to, nor believes that it will, incur debts that would be beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature.
6. As of the date hereof, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (other than the Intercreditor and Security Sharing Agreement), the Borrower is not engaged in businesses or transactions, nor about to engage in businesses or transactions, for which any property remaining would constitute unreasonably small capital after giving due consideration to the prevailing practice in the industry in which it is engaged.
7. The Borrower does not intend, in consummating the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (other than the Intercreditor and Security Sharing Agreement), to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future lenders or any other Person to which the Borrower is or will become, on or after the date hereof, indebted.
8. For purposes of this Certificate, “fair value” means the amount at which the aggregate assets of the Borrower would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller within a commercially reasonable period of time, each having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts, neither being under any compulsion to act, with equity to both. “Present fair saleable value” means the amount that may be realized if the aggregate assets of the Borrower are sold with reasonable promptness in an arm’s length transaction under present conditions for the sale of assets of comparable business enterprises. The term “debt” means any legal liability, including, without limitation, any contingent, subordinated, absolute, fixed, matured or unmatured, disputed or undisputed, secured or unsecured and liquidated or unliquidated liability. Being “able to pay its debts as they become absolute and mature” means that, assuming transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (other than the Intercreditor and Security Sharing Agreement) have been consummated as proposed and based only upon the [Borrower’s] financial forecasts, the Borrower would have positive cash flow for the period covered by such forecasts after paying its scheduled anticipated indebtedness and current liabilities, including (and after giving effect to) the scheduled principal payments with respect to the Loan under the Loan Agreement as in effect on the date hereof.
