Each Part of the Mortgage Loan Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by only the parties described therein as parties thereto, assignees and transferees of such parties permitted under such Part, and not any other Person (even if such other Person may be party to the Mortgage Loan Agreement).

(b) The Borrower shall deliver to IFC a receipt substantially in the form of Schedule 3, within five (5) Business Days following each Disbursement.
(c) IFC may, by notice to the Borrower, suspend the right of the Borrower to Disbursements or cancel the undisbursed portion of the Loan in whole or in part: (i) if the first Disbursement has not been made by the one (1) year anniversary of the date of this Agreement; (ii) if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if the Event of Default specified in Section 5.02 (e) (Events of Default) is, in the reasonable opinion of IFC, imminent; (iii) if any event or condition has occurred which has or can reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or (iv) on or after the two-year anniversary of the date of this Agreement. Upon any cancellation, the Borrower shall, subject to subsection (e) of this Section 2.02, pay to IFC all
fees and other amounts accrued (whether or not then due and payable) under this Agreement up to the date of that cancellation.
(d) The Borrower may, by notice to IFC, irrevocably request IFC to cancel the undisbursed portion of the Loan on the date specified in that notice (which shall be a date not earlier than thirty (30) days after the date of that notice) provided that, subject to subsection (e) of this Section 2.02, IFC has received all fees and other amounts accrued (whether or not then due and payable) under this Agreement up to such specified date.
(e) In the case of partial cancellation of the Loan pursuant to subsection (c) or (d) of this Section 2.02, interest on the amount then outstanding of the Loan remains payable as provided in Section 2.03 (Interest).

(b) Interest on any Disbursement or, as the case may be, on the Loan, 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 Interest Period and be payable in arrears on the Interest Payment Date immediately following the end of that Interest Period, 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.
(c) Subject to Sections 2.03 (e) and (f), the Interest Rate for any Interest Period shall be the rate which is the sum of:

|
|
(ii)
|
if less than two (2) quotations are received from the banks in London in accordance with subsection (i) above, on the first day of the relevant Interest Period, by calculating the arithmetic mean (rounded upward to the nearest three decimal places) of the offered rates advised to IFC on or around 11:00 a.m., New York time, for loans in the Loan Currency and otherwise in accordance with Section 2.03 (c) (ii), by a major bank or banks in New York, New York selected by IFC.
|
(e) Subject to any alternative basis agreed as contemplated by Section 2.03(f) below, if a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to all or any part of the Loan for any Interest Period, IFC shall promptly notify the Borrower of such event and the relevant Interest Rate for that Interest Period shall be the rate which is the sum of:
|
(i)
|
the Spread; and
|
|
(ii)
|
either (A) the rate which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to IFC (or the relevant Participant as notified to IFC as soon as practicable and in any event not later than the close of business on the first day of the relevant Interest Period) of funding the Loan or such Participation (as applicable) from whatever source it may reasonably select or (B) at the option of IFC (or any such Participant, as applicable), LIBOR for the relevant period as determined in accordance with Section 2.03 (c) (ii) above.

|

(h) The determination by IFC, from time to time of the applicable Interest Rate shall be final and conclusive and bind the Borrower (unless the Borrower shows to IFC’s satisfaction that the determination involves manifest error).
Section 2.04. Default Rate Interest. Without limiting the remedies available to IFC under this Agreement or otherwise (and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law), if the 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, the Borrower shall pay interest on the amount of that payment due and unpaid 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 determined in accordance with Section 2.03 (Interest); and that interest 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 on demand or, if not demanded, on each Interest Payment Date falling after any such overdue amount became due.
Section 2.05. Repayment. Subject to Section 2.14 (Business Day Adjustment), the Borrower shall repay the principal amount outstanding of each Disbursement in ten (10) equal installments on the ten (10) consecutive Interest Payment Dates beginning on the first Interest Payment Date to occur at least two (2) years after the date of such Disbursement.

Any partial prepayment shall (i) be in an amount of not less than ten million Dollars ($10,000,000) and (ii) applied to the remaining repayment installments of the Loan in inverse order of maturity.
(b) Upon delivery of a notice in accordance with Section 2.06 (a), the Borrower shall make the prepayment in accordance with the terms of that notice.
(c) Any principal amount of the Loan prepaid under this Agreement may not be re-borrowed.
Section 2.07. Fees. The Borrower shall pay to IFC:
-4-

(b) a commitment fee at the rate of one half of one per cent (½%) per annum on that part of the Loan that from time to time has not been disbursed or cancelled, beginning to accrue on the date of this Agreement and pro-rated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed; such commitment fee to be payable semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning on July 15, 2010; and
(c) a portfolio supervision fee of ten thousand Dollars ($10,000) per annum, payable promptly upon receipt of a statement from IFC.

(b) The payment obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement shall be discharged or satisfied only to the extent that (and as of the date when) IFC actually receives funds in the Loan Currency in the account referred to in subsection (a) above, notwithstanding the tender or payment (including by way of recovery under a judgment) of any amount in any currency other than the Loan Currency. Accordingly, the Borrower shall, as a separate obligation or by way of indemnity, as the case may be, pay such additional amount as is necessary to enable IFC to receive, after conversion to the Loan Currency at a market rate and transfer to that account, the full amount due to IFC under this Agreement in the Loan Currency and in the account referred to in subsection (a) above.
Section 2.09. Allocation of Partial Payments. If IFC at any time receives less than the full amount then due and payable under this Agreement, IFC may allocate and apply the amount received as IFC in its sole discretion determines, notwithstanding any instruction of the Borrower to the contrary.

ANNEX B
SANCTIONABLE PRACTICES
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.
|
-44-
|
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 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 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.
|
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.
|
-45-
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.
