Dollars ($25,000,000) (the “Total Loan Amount”). The rights and obligations of Chindex and each of
the Onshore Borrowers shall be several, not joint.
(b) The Total Loan Amount shall be allocated between the Onshore Borrowers in accordance with
a notice delivered by Chindex prior to the execution of the Local Loan Agreements (each, an
“Onshore Allocation” or the “Loans”). Unless with the express written consent of IFC, a single
Onshore Allocation for an Onshore Borrower shall not exceed sixty percent (60%) of the Total Loan
Amount.
(c) Each such Onshore Allocation shall be disbursed directly to the to applicable Onshore
Borrower. In no event shall the sum of the two Onshore Allocations exceed the Total Loan Amount.
Section 2.02. Disbursement Procedure. (a) Each Onshore Borrower may request
Disbursements of its Loan by delivering to IFC, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the
proposed date of disbursement, a Disbursement request substantially in the form of Schedule 2.
(b) All Disbursements of the Loan for a particular Onshore Borrower shall be made directly to
the applicable Onshore Borrower. The maximum aggregate amount of Disbursements to a single Onshore
Borrowers shall not exceed such Onshore Borrower’s Onshore Allocation. Each Disbursement shall be

New York,
New York for further credit to the relevant Onshore Borrower’s
account at a bank in the Country, or any other place acceptable to IFC, all as specified by Chindex
or such Onshore Borrower in the relevant Disbursement request.
(c) Each Disbursement (other than the last one) shall be made in an amount of not less than
$2,500,000. No more than three (3) Disbursements may be requested in respect of each Onshore
Allocation.
(d) The relevant Onshore Borrower shall deliver to IFC a receipt, substantially in the form of
Schedule 3, within five (5) Business Days following each Disbursement to such Onshore Borrower.
- 27 -
Section 2.03. Interest. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.04 (Default Rate
Interest), the each Onshore Borrower shall pay interest on its Loan in accordance with this Section
2.03:
(a) Interest on the Loan for a relevant Onshore Borrower shall accrue from day to day, be
prorated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days in the relevant period and be
payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that with respect to any Disbursement
made less than fifteen (15) days before an Interest Payment Date, interest on that Disbursement
shall be payable commencing on the second Interest Payment Date following the date of that
Disbursement.
(b) Up to the Loan Consolidation Date, an Onshore Borrower shall pay interest on the amount of
each Disbursement outstanding from time to time at the Disbursement Interest Rate applicable to
that Disbursement.
(c) For the purpose of determining the Disbursement Interest Rate applicable to each
Disbursement, IFC shall, on the relevant Interest Rate Setting Date, determine the Base Fixed Rate
for that Disbursement using the methodology set out in Annex AA, add the Relevant Spread and
promptly notify the Onshore Borrower of the Disbursement Interest Rate applicable to that
Disbursement.
(d) For each Disbursement, the Onshore Borrower shall specify the date on which to determine
the applicable Base Fixed Rate, which date shall be two (2) Business Days before the proposed date
of such Disbursement. In the event the conditions of disbursement relevant to that Disbursement
have not been fulfilled to IFC’s satisfaction or waived by IFC by the rate-setting date specified
in the relevant request for Disbursement, then, after the relevant conditions of disbursement have
been fulfilled to IFC’s satisfaction or waived by IFC, the Onshore Borrower shall specify a new
date on which to determine the Base Fixed Rate, which shall be two (2) Business Days before the new
proposed date of the requested Disbursement unless otherwise specified by IFC.
(e) The relevant Onshore Borrower may from time to time at any time in connection with any
proposed Disbursement request from IFC an indication of what the Disbursement Interest Rate would
be for such a Disbursement as of the date of that request. As promptly as practicable after that
request, IFC shall advise the Onshore Borrower of the indicative Disbursement Interest Rate.
(f) Beginning on and including the applicable Loan Consolidation Date for a particular Onshore
Borrower, the Onshore Borrower shall pay interest at the applicable Interest Rate on the full
amount of the Loan outstanding for that Onshore Borrower from time to time. The “Interest Rate”
for a particular Onshore Borrower shall be the rate calculated by IFC equal to the weighted average
of the Loan Disbursement Interest Rates for the relevant Onshore Borrower, the weighting being
based on the principal amount of each Disbursement to that Onshore Borrower in relation to the
entire principal amount of the Loan for that Onshore Borrower and the average being rounded up to
the nearest two decimal places. IFC shall determine the Interest Rate for each Onshore Borrower
not less
- 28 -
than two (2) Business Days before the relevant Loan Consolidation Date and promptly
notify the relevant Onshore Borrower of that rate.
(g) The determination by IFC of each Disbursement Interest Rate or the Interest Rate, as the
case may be, shall be final and conclusive and bind the Borrower (unless the Borrower shows to
IFC’s reasonable satisfaction that the determination involves manifest error).

any Onshore Borrower fails to make any payment of principal or interest (including interest payable
pursuant to this Section) or any other payment provided for in Section 2.07 (Fees) when due as
specified in this Agreement (whether at stated maturity or upon acceleration), such Onshore
Borrower shall pay interest on the amount of that payment due and unpaid by such Onshore Borrower
at the rate which shall be the sum of two per cent (2%) per annum and the Interest Rate in effect
from time to time.
(b) Interest at the rate referred to in Section 2.04 (a) shall accrue from the date on which
payment of the relevant overdue amount became due until the date of actual payment of that amount
(as well after as before judgment), and shall be payable by such Onshore Borrower on demand or, if
not demanded, on each Interest Payment Date falling after any such overdue amount became due.

ANNEX D
Page 1 of 3
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.
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. |
|
|
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. |
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 benefit or to avoid an
obligation.
Interpretation
- 7 -
|
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 this Agreement. |
|
|
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 considered as a Fraudulent Practice for
purposes of this Agreement. |
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. |
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
- 8 -
|
|
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. |
|
|
A person should not be liable for actions taken by unrelated third parties unless the first
party participated in the prohibited act in question. |

ARTICLE III
Saving Provisions
Section 3.01. Waiver of Defenses. The Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee
shall not be affected or impaired by any act, omission, circumstance (other than complete payment
of the Guaranteed Obligations), matter or thing which, but for this provision, would reduce,
release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Agreement or which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or a guarantor, including (whether
or not known to the Guarantor or to IFC):
(a) any time, waiver, composition, forbearance or concession given to the Borrower or any
other person;
(b) any assertion of, or failure to assert, or delay in asserting, any right, power or remedy
against the Borrower or any other person, or in respect of any security for the Loan;

illegal, void, voidable, avoided, invalid, unenforceable or otherwise of limited force and effect.
Section 3.02. Immediate Recourse. The Guarantor waives any right it may have of
first requiring IFC (or any trustee, agent or other person acting on its behalf) to proceed against
or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from the

- 69 -
Section 3.03. Non-Competition. (a) If any amounts have become payable or have been
paid by the Guarantor under this Agreement, the Guarantor shall not, in respect of such monies,
seek to enforce repayment, obtain the benefit of any
security or exercise any other rights or legal remedies of any kind which may accrue to the
Guarantor against the Borrower, whether by way of subrogation, offset, counterclaim or otherwise,
in respect of the amount so payable or so paid (or in respect of any other monies for the time
being due to the Guarantor from the Borrower) if and for so long as any Guaranteed Obligations
remain payable.
The Guarantor shall hold in trust for, and forthwith pay or transfer to, IFC any payment or
distribution or benefit of security received by it contrary to this Section 3.03.
(b) Upon the payment and satisfaction in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations and of all
sums now or in future becoming due to IFC from the Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement, and
provided that IFC is not under any further obligation (actual or contingent) to advance monies to
the Borrower under the IFC Loan Agreement, the Guarantor, if it has made a payment under this
Agreement, shall be entitled to exercise its rights of subrogation to its proportion of all
relevant rights of IFC against the Borrower pursuant to the IFC Loan Agreement. IFC shall promptly
execute, at the expense of the Guarantor, an assignment and such other documents in such form as
the Guarantor may reasonably request to transfer such proportion of such rights of IFC against the

subrogation. The Guarantor shall enforce such rights directly against the Borrower in its own name
and not in the name of IFC.
Section 3.04. Bankruptcy or Liquidation of Borrower. If the Borrower is adjudged
bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar
official) of the Borrower, or any substantial part of its property or other assets, is appointed,
or the Borrower makes any arrangement with its creditors, or is liquidated or wound up, the
Guarantor shall not claim, rank, prove or vote as a creditor of the Borrower or its estate in
competition with IFC in respect of any amounts owing to the Guarantor by the Borrower on any
account whatsoever, but instead shall give IFC the benefit of any such proof and of all amounts to
be received in respect of that proof until all Guaranteed Obligations have been fully paid.
Section 3.05. Appropriation of Monies. Until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have
been irrevocably paid in full, IFC (or any trustee, agent or other person acting on its behalf)
may:
- 70 -

by IFC (or such trustee, agent or other person) in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, or apply
and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against the Guaranteed
Obligations or otherwise) and the Guarantor shall not be entitled to the benefit of the same; and
(b) hold and keep for such time as it thinks prudent any monies received, recovered or
realized under this Agreement, to the credit either of the Guarantor or such other person or
persons as it thinks fit or in a suspense account.
Section 3.06. Reinstatement. (a) Where any discharge (whether in respect of the
obligations of the Borrower, the Guarantor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is
made in whole or in part or any arrangement is made on the faith of any payment, security or other
disposition which is avoided or must be restored on insolvency, liquidation or otherwise without
limitation, the liability of the Guarantor under this Agreement shall continue or shall be
reinstated (as the case may be) as if such discharge or arrangement had not occurred.
(b) IFC (or any trustee, agent or other person acting on its behalf) may concede or compromise
any claim that any payment, security or other disposition is liable to avoidance or restoration.
Section 3.07. Additional Security. This Agreement is in addition to and is not in
any way prejudiced by any collateral or other security now or in future held by IFC, nor shall such
collateral or other security held by IFC or the liability of any person for all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations be in any manner prejudiced or affected by this Agreement.

ANNEX AA
METHODOLOGY FOR DETERMINATION OF THE BASE FIXED RATE FOR EACH
LOAN DISBURSEMENT
(See Section 2.03 of the Loan Agreement)
Section (A) Methodology for Determination of the Base Fixed Rate
The Base Fixed Rate for each Disbursement is the weighted average of the swap rates for all
maturities in that Disbursement, determined as follows (see also attached example of calculation):
1. |
|
The amount of each Disbursement is first allocated for repayment in amounts on each of the
maturity dates specified in the repayment schedule appearing in Section 2.06 (b)
(Repayment) (each such amount, an “Installment”). The amount of each Disbursement is first
allocated for repayment pro rata to the amounts appearing opposite each of
those maturity dates |
|
2. |
|
Each Installment therefore has a tenor (a “Tenor”) equal to the period commencing from the
date of the relevant Disbursement to the date on which such Installment has been allocated for
repayment. |
|
3. |
|
On the Interest Rate Setting Date for the relevant Disbursement, IFC determines the fixed
rate swap equivalent for each Installment (a “Fixed Rate Swap Equivalent”), i.e., the
fixed interest rate payable in the swap market against receipt of interest at LIBOR, in
respect of a specified maturity matching the Tenor of that Installment. For the purposes of
this Annex AA: |
|
|
|
(a) “LIBOR” means the British Bankers’ Association London interbank offered rate for
deposits in the Loan Currency; |
|
|
|
(b) the swap market information used to determine the Fixed Rate Swap Equivalent for each
Installment is obtained from the Telerate rate fixing page for the Loan Currency
(currently page 42276), on the Interest Rate Setting Date; and if that information cannot
be obtained from the Telerate Service, IFC shall obtain that information from the relevant
rate-fixing page available on the Reuters Service or, if not available, on the Bloomberg
Financial Markets Service; |
|
|
|
(c) if all the services referred to in the preceding paragraph cease to be available, or
if none of them contains the necessary swap market information, whether on the relevant
Interest Rate Setting Date or generally, then IFC will determine the Fixed Rate Swap
Equivalent for each Installment: |
- 129 -
ANNEX AA
|
(i) |
|
to the extent available, from a live screen of a
financial markets information provider that IFC, in its reasonable opinion,
considers appropriate, the information to be obtained on the Interest Rate
Setting Date as of 11:00 a.m., New York time; or |
|
|
(ii) |
|
using whatever equivalent reasonable means of calculation
that IFC, in its reasonable opinion, considers appropriate; and |
(d) swap market rates shall be interpolated on a straight-line basis so as to match the
actual Tenor of each Installment.
4. |
|
The Fixed Rate Swap Equivalent for each Installment is then allocated a weight based on the
Tenor and amount of that Installment (a “Weight”). Each such Weight is expressed as a
percentage, i.e., the percentage which the product of the amount of an Installment
times its Tenor represents of the sum of all those products calculated for all the
Installments in the relevant Disbursement. |
|
5. |
|
Each Weight so determined is then multiplied by its corresponding Fixed Rate Swap Equivalent
and the products so obtained for all Installments are added together to obtain the weighted
average swap rate (the “Weighted Average Swap Rate”). |
|
6. |
|
The Weighted Average Swap Rate for the relevant Disbursement is then converted to the rate
basis used for the Loan (i.e., actual number of days/360) and rounded up to the
nearest two decimal places to produce the Base Fixed Rate for that Disbursement. |

ANNEX BB
METHODOLOGY FOR CALCULATION OF THE REDEPLOYMENT COSTS
Section (A) Methodology for Calculation of the Redeployment Cost
1. |
|
The redeployment cost equals the amount in excess of zero, if any, obtained by deducting (x)
the Present Value of the Available Base Rate Cash Flows of the amount to be prepaid from (y)
the Present Value of the Original Base Rate Cash Flows of the amount to be prepaid. |
|
2. |
|
For the purpose of this Section: |
|
(a) |
|
the “Original Base Rate Cash Flows of the amount to be prepaid” means the
aggregate amount of interest originally scheduled to be paid on the principal amount
to be prepaid from the date of prepayment until the final maturity date of the Loan,
calculated at the Loan Base Fixed Rate. If the relevant prepayment occurs before
the Loan Consolidation Date, the applicable interest rate shall be the weighted
average of all Disbursement Base Fixed Rates then in effect, calculated using the
methodology set forth in Section 3.03(f) (Interest); |
|
|
(b) |
|
the “Available Base Rate Cash Flows of the amount to be prepaid” means
the aggregate amount of interest that would have accrued, from the date of
prepayment until the final maturity date of the Loan, on the respective principal
amount to be prepaid had such amount been disbursed on the prepayment date,
calculated at an interest rate equal to the Prepayment Base Fixed Rate applicable to
such hypothetical disbursement, determined two (2) Business Days prior to the date
of prepayment in accordance with Annex C, Section (A); and |
|
|
(c) |
|
the “Present Value” of the relevant Base Rate Cash Flows is the value of
the Original Base Rate Cash Flows or, as the case may be, the Available Base Rate
Cash Flows discounted back to the date of prepayment from each of the relevant
Interest Payment Dates at a discount rate equal to the Prepayment Base Fixed Rate
determined pursuant to paragraph (b) above. |
- 133 -
3. The determination by IFC of the redeployment cost shall be final and conclusive and bind the
Borrower (unless the Borrower shows to IFC’s satisfaction that the determination involves manifest
error).

Calculation of the Redeployment Cost on Prepayment of $15,000,000
Prepayment Date: 15 February, 1998
Same repayment schedule as in example in Section (A) of Annex C
Step 1. Determine Base Fixed Rate for a hypothetical Disbursement of principal amount to be prepaid
(i.e., $15,000,000) as of prepayment date (15 February, 1998).
Step 2. Calculate Available Base Rate Cash Flows at an interest rate equal to the Prepayment Base
Fixed Rate.
Step 3. Calculate the Original Base Rate Cash Flows using the Loan Base Fixed Rate.
Step 4. Calculate Present Value of each income stream.
Step 5. Subtract the Present Value of the Available Base Rate Cash Flows from the Present Value of
the Original Base Rate Cash Flows. The result, if in excess of zero, is the redeployment cost.
