•  Original

(b) such failure continues for six (6) months after the due date therefor and the Bank declares a non-accrual event with respect to the non-payment of any such amount (the “Guarantee Amount”),

(d) Each such application and accompanying documents and other evidence shall be sufficient in form and substance to satisfy the Bank that the Borrower is entitled to withdraw from the Loan Account the amount applied for, and that the amount to be withdrawn from the Loan Account shall be used only for the purposes specified in the Loan Agreement.

(e) The Bank shall pay the amounts withdrawn by the Borrower from the Loan Account only to, or on the order of, the Borrower.

as at such date. The Bank shall pay the amount so withdrawn to itself or the Association and shall cancel the remaining unwithdrawn amount of the advance.

(c) If the Borrower requests that interest, Commitment Charge, or other charges on the Loan be paid out of the proceeds of the Loan as applicable and the Bank agrees to such request, the Bank shall, on behalf of the Borrower, withdraw from the Loan Account on each of the Payment Dates, and pay to itself the amount required to pay such interest and other charges accrued and payable as at such date, subject to any limit specified in the Loan Agreement on the amount to be so withdrawn.

Section 2.06. Allocation of Loan Amounts

ARTICLE III

Loan Terms

Section 3.01. Front-end Fee; Commitment Charge; Exposure Surcharge

(a) The Borrower shall pay the Bank a Front-end Fee on the Loan amount at the rate specified in the Loan Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.05 (b), the Borrower shall pay the Front-end Fee not later than sixty (60) days after the Effective Date.

(b) The Borrower shall pay the Bank a Commitment Charge on the Unwithdrawn Loan Balance at the rate specified in the Loan Agreement. The Commitment Charge shall accrue from a date sixty (60) days after the date of the Loan Agreement to the respective dates on which amounts are withdrawn by the Borrower from the Loan Account or cancelled. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.05 (c), the Borrower shall pay the Commitment Charge semi-annually in arrears on each Payment Date.

(c) If, on any given day, the Total Exposure exceeds the Standard Exposure Limit and the Allocated Excess Exposure Amount is applicable to the Loan (or a portion thereof), the Borrower shall pay to the Bank the Exposure Surcharge on such Allocated Excess Exposure Amount for each said day. Whenever the Total Exposure exceeds the Standard Exposure Limit, the Bank shall promptly notify the Member Country thereof. The Bank shall also notify the Loan Parties of the Allocated Excess Exposure Amount, if any, with respect to the Loan. The Exposure Surcharge (if any) shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on each Payment Date.

Section 3.02. Interest

(a) The Borrower shall pay the Bank interest on the Withdrawn Loan Balance at the rate specified in the Loan Agreement; provided, however, that the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period shall

• Sida 24
•  Original

24 Prop. 2021/22:152 Bilaga 2

4

in no event be less than zero percent (0%) per annum; and provided further that, such rate may be modified from time to time in accordance with the provisions of Article IV. Interest shall accrue from the respective dates on which amounts of the Loan are withdrawn and shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on each Payment Date.

(b) If interest on any amount of the Withdrawn Loan Balance is based on a Variable Spread, the Bank shall notify the Loan Parties of the interest rate on such amount for each Interest Period, promptly upon its determination.

(c) If interest on any amount of the Loan is based on a Reference Rate, and the Bank determines that such (i) Reference Rate has permanently ceased to be quoted for the relevant Currency, or (ii) the Bank is no longer able, or it is no longer commercially acceptable for the Bank, to continue to use such Reference Rate, for purposes of its asset and liability management, the Bank shall apply such other Reference Rate for the relevant Currency, including any applicable spread, as it may reasonably determine. The Bank shall promptly notify the Loan Parties of such other rate and related amendments to the provisions of the Loan Agreements, which shall become effective as of the date set forth in such notice.

(d) If interest on any amount of the Withdrawn Loan Balance is payable at the Variable Rate, then whenever, in light of changes in market practice affecting the determination of the interest rate applicable to such amount, the Bank determines that it is in the interest of its borrowers as a whole and of the Bank to apply a basis for determining such interest rate other than as provided in the Loan Agreement, the Bank may modify the basis for determining such interest rate upon not less than three months' notice to the Loan Parties of the new basis. The new basis shall become effective on the expiry of the notice period unless a Loan Party notifies the Bank during such period of its objection to such modification, in which case the modification shall not apply to such amount of the Loan.

(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section, if any amount of the Withdrawn Loan Balance remains unpaid when due and such non-payment continues for a period of thirty days, then the Borrower shall pay the Default Interest Rate on such overdue amount in lieu of the interest rate specified in the Loan Agreement (or such other interest rate as may be applicable pursuant to Article IV as a result of a Conversion) until such overdue amount is fully paid. Interest at the Default Interest Rate shall accrue from the first day of each Default Interest Period and shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on each Payment Date.

Section 3.03. Repayment

(a) The Borrower shall repay the Withdrawn Loan Balance to the Bank in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement and, if applicable, as further provided in paragraphs (b), (c), (d), and (e) of this Section 3.03. The Withdrawn Loan Balance shall be repaid on either a Commitmentlinked Amortization Schedule or a Disbursement-linked Amortization Schedule. (b) For Loans with a Commitment-linked Amortization Schedule: The Borrower shall repay the Withdrawn Loan Balance to the Bank in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement provided that:

(i) If the proceeds of the Loan have been fully withdrawn as of the first Principal Payment Date specified in the Loan Agreement, the principal amount of the Loan repayable by the

• Sida 25
•  Original

Prop. 2021/22:152 Bilaga 2

5

Borrower on each Principal Payment Date shall be determined by the Bank by multiplying: (x) the Withdrawn Loan Balance as of the first Principal Payment Date; by (y) the Installment Share specified in the Loan Agreement for each Principal Payment Date, adjusted as necessary, to deduct any amounts to which a Currency Conversion applies in accordance with Section 3.03 (e).

(ii) If the proceeds of the Loan have not been fully withdrawn as of the first Principal Payment

Date, the principal amount of the Loan repayable by the Borrower on each Principal Payment Date shall be determined as follows:

(A) To the extent that any proceeds of the Loan have been withdrawn as of the first

Principal Payment Date, the Borrower shall repay the Withdrawn Loan Balance as of such date in accordance with the Amortization Schedule under the Loan Agreement.

(B) Any amount withdrawn after the first Principal Payment Date shall be repaid on each

Principal Payment Date falling after the date of such withdrawal in amounts determined by the Bank by multiplying the amount of each such withdrawal by a fraction, the numerator of which is the original Installment Share specified in the Loan Agreement for said Principal Payment Date and the denominator of which is the sum of all remaining original Installment Shares for Principal Payment Dates falling on or after such date, such amounts repayable to be adjusted, as necessary, to deduct any amounts to which a Currency Conversion applies in accordance with Section 3.03 (e).

(iii) (A) Amounts of the Loan withdrawn within two calendar months prior to any Principal

Section 6.02. Negative Pledge

(a) It is the policy of the Bank, in making loans to, or with the guarantee of its member countries not to seek, in normal circumstances, special security from the member country concerned but to ensure that no other Covered Debt shall have priority over its loans in the allocation, realization or distribution of foreign exchange held under the control or for the benefit of such member country. To that end, if any Lien is created on any Public Assets as security for any Covered Debt, which will or might result in a priority for the benefit of the creditor of such Covered Debt in the allocation, realization or distribution of foreign exchange, such Lien shall, unless the Bank shall otherwise agree, ipso facto and at no cost to the Bank, equally and ratably secure all Loan Payments, and the Member Country, in creating or permitting the creation of such Lien, shall make express provision to that effect; provided, however, that if for any constitutional or other legal reason such provision cannot be made with respect to any Lien created on assets of any of its political or administrative subdivisions, the Member Country shall promptly and at no cost to the Bank secure all Loan Payments by an equivalent Lien on other Public Assets satisfactory to the Bank.

(i) if it creates any Lien on any of its assets as security for any debt, such Lien will equally and

ratably secure the payment of all Loan Payments and in the creation of any such Lien express provision will be made to that effect, at no cost to the Bank; and

(ii) if any statutory Lien is created on any of its assets as security for any debt, it shall grant at

no cost to the Bank, an equivalent Lien satisfactory to the Bank to secure the payment of all Loan Payments.

(d) The Member Country represents, as at the date of the Loan Agreement, that no Liens exist on any Public Assets, as security for any Covered Debt, except those listed in a notification from the Member Country to the Bank and those excluded pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 6.02.
