Purpose 1.1 The purpose of these Guidelines is to set out the Bank's procedures for disbursement of loan proceeds for projects.' Specifically, the Guidelines explain (a) the different methods used by the Bank to disburse loan proceeds, (b) the require- merits for withdrawal from the Loan Account, (c) the types of supporting documentation that the borrower may be re- quired to provide to demonstrate the use of loan proceeds for eligible expenditures, (d) the criteria for establishing des- ignated accounts, (e) the terms and conditions applicable to advances, (f) the types of actions that the Bank may take if it determines that loan proceeds are not needed or have been used for ineligible purposes, and (g) the consequence of refunds. "Banik" includes IBRD1) and IDA; "loan" includes credit and grant; -bor- rower" includes the borrower of an IIR) loan, IDA credit, or Project Prepa- ration Facility advance and the recipient of a grant; and 'Loan Agreement" includes the agreement with the Bank providing for a credit, grant, or ad- vance. These Disbursement Guidelines apply to all loans, credits, advances under the Project Preparation Facility, and grants financed under the In- stitutional Development Fund and Clobal Environment Facility unless oth- erwise provided in Operational Policy 10.20, Global Environment Facility Operations (forthcoming). These Guidelines also apply to other recipient- executed grants financed from trust funds unless, exceptionally, the terms of the agreement with the donor make provision for different requirements. They do not apply to Development Policy loans. 51 11 2. Disbursement Methods 2.1 The Bank establishes disbursement arrangements for an op- eration in consultation with the borrower and taking into consideration, inter alia, an assessment of the borrower's financial management and procurement arrangements, the procurement plan and cash flow needs of the operation, and its disbursement experience with the borrower. 2.2 The Bank disburses proceeds from the Loan Account estab- lished for each loan, to or on the order of the borrower, using one or more of the disbursement methods set forth below, as determined by the Bank. (a) Reimbursement: The Bank may reimburse the bor- rower for expenditures eligible for financing pursuant to the Loan Agreement ("eligible expenditures") that the borrower has prefinanced from its own resources. (b) Advance: The Bank may advance loan proceeds into a designated account of the borrower to finance eligible expenditures as they are incurred and for which sup- porting documents will be provided at a later date (see section 5, "Designated Accounts"). (c) Direct Payment: The Bank may make payments, at the borrower's request, directly to a third party (e.g., supplier, contractor, consultant) for eligible expendi- tures. (d) Special Commitment: The Bank may pay amounts to a third party for eligible expenditures under special commitments entered into, in writing, at the borrower's request and on terms and conditions agreed between the Bank and the borrower. 3. Withdrawal of Loan Proceeds 3.1 Authorized Signatures. Before loan proceeds may be withdrawn or committed from the Loan Account, the au- 16 12 LOANDAI MP-?iiNI MAYI,2L thorized representative of the borrower (as designated in the Loan Agreement) must furnish to the Bank (a) the name(s) of the official(s) authorized to sign applications for with- drawal and applications for a special commitment (collec- tively, "Applications"), and (b) the authenticated specimen signature(s) of the official(s). The borrower must indicate clearly if more than one signature is required on Applica- tions and must notify the Bank promptly of any changes in signature authority. 3.2 Applications. Applications must be provided to the Bank in such form and include such information as the Bank may reasonably request. Application forms are available online from the Client Connection Web site at http://clientconncc- tion. worldbank. org or from the Bank upon request. 3.3 For withdrawal from the Loan Account for advances, the borrower should provide an original signed application for withdrawal. For withdrawal from the Loan Account for re- imbursements and direct payments and for reporting on the use of advances, the borrower should provide an original signed application for withdrawal together with one copy of supporting documents (see section 4, "Supporting Docu- mentation Requirements"). For a special commitment from the Loan Account, the borrower should provide an original signed application for a special commitment together with one copy of the letter of credit. The Bank reserves the right not to accept or review duplicate copies of Applications and supporting documents and may at its discretion return or destroy the duplicates. 3.4 Electronic Delivery. The Bank may authorize the bor- rower to use electronic means, in a manner and on terms and conditions specified by the Bank, to deliver Applications and supporting documentation to the Bank. Applications and supporting documentation delivered in accordance with this subsection will be deemed to have been provided to the Bank for the purposes of satisfying the requirements of sub- sections 3.2 and 3.3 of these Guidelines. 71 13 Wol.[ B&N ~ i~l.~?uN I )I,JIN Fol [031n~I1pris N * * * 3.5 Minimum Value of Applications. The Bank establishes a minimum value for Applications for reimbursement, direct payment, and special commitment. The Bank reserves the right not to accept Applications that are below such mini- mum value. 3.6 Loan Disbursing Period. The Bank processes Appli- cations only after the Loan Agreement has been declared effective in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agree- ment. The expenditures for which the Applications are made must be: (a) paid for (i) on or after the date of the Loan Agreement, or (ii) in the case of operations that permit retroactive financing, on or after the earlier date specified in the Loan Agreement for that purpose; and (b) incurred on or before the closing date specified or re- ferred to in the Loan Agreement ("Closing Date"), ex- cept as otherwise specifically agreed with the Bank. 3.7 The loan disbursing period ends on the final date established by the Bank for receipt by the Bank of applications for with- drawal and supporting documentation (the "Disbursement Deadline Date"). The Disbursement Deadline Date may be the same as the Closing Date, or up to four months after the Closing Date. Normally, to support orderly project comple- tion and closure of the Loan Accotut, the Bank does not ac- cept applications for withdrawal or supporting documentation received after the Disbursement Deadline Date. The borrower should promptly inform the Bank of any expected implemen- tation delays or exceptional administrative issues before these dates. The Bank notifies the borrower of any exception that the Bank may make to the Disbursement Deadline Date. 3.8 Disbursement Conditions. If the Loan Agreement con- tains a disbursement condition for a specific expenditure cat- egory, the Bank will disburse loan proceeds for that category only after the disbursement condition has been fulfilled and the Bank has notified the borrower to this effect. 18 14 I.O~NL)i~ ~ MAYNIv1,.2UMb 4. Supporting Documentation Requirements 4.1 The borrower provides supporting documentation to the Bank to show that loan proceeds have been or are being used to finance eligible expenditures. 4.2 For special commitments, the commercial bank provides its confirmation directly to the Bank that conditions for release of payments committed for withdrawal have been met. 4.3 Types of Supporting Documentation. The Bank re- quires either copies of the original documents evidencing eligible expenditures ("Records") or summary reports of ex- penditure ("Summary Reports") in such form and substance as the Bank may specify. Records include such documents as invoices and receipts. A Summary Report may be either (a) the interim un-audited financial report required under the Loan Agreement ("Interim Financial Report") or (b) a statement of expenditure summarizing eligible expendi- tures paid during a stated period ("Statement of Expendi- ture"). In all cases, the borrower is responsible for retaining the original documents evidencing eligible expenditures and making them available for audit or inspection. 4.4 The Bank determines the types of supporting documentation that the borrower should provide, taking into consideration the disbursement method used. The supporting documenta- tion may be the following: (a) For applications for reimbursement: (i) Interim Financial Reports, (ii) Statements of Expenditure, (iii) Records, or (iv) Records required by the Bank for spe- cific expenditures and Statements of Expenditure for all other expenditures; (b) For reporting on the use of advances: (i) Interim Financial Reports, (ii) Statements of Expenditure, (iii) Records, or (iv) Records required by the Bank for spe- cific expenditures and Statements of Expenditure for all other expenditures; 91 15 W.ORLIkNK [ ~ISISI NW-N-'AL1 GUMtDLINNS~ 11'01 I11m,fCLS* * (c) For applications for direct payments: Records; and (d) Any other supporting documentation that the Bank may request by notice to the borrower. 4.5 Failure to Provide Audited Financial Statements. If the borrower fails to provide any of the audited Financial Statements required in accordance with, and within the pe- riod of time specified in, the Loan Agreement, the Bank may at its discretion decide not to accept applications for with- drawal supported by Summary Reports, even if such reports are accompanied by Records. 5. Designated Accounts 5.1 The borrower may open one or more designated accounts into which the Bank may, at the borrower's request, de- posit amounts withdrawn from the Loan Account for the purpose of paying for eligible expenditures as they are in- curred ("Designated Account"). Before the Bank authorizes establishment of a Designated Account, the borrower must have adequate administrative capability, internal controls, and accounting and auditing procedures to ensure effective use of the Designated Account. 5.2 The Bank may decide not to permit the use of Designated Accounts in new projects if the borrower has failed to re- fund undocumented advances in the Designated Account of any other loan to, or guaranteed by., the borrower within two months after the Disbursement Deadline Date for such loan. 5.3 Type of Designated Account. A Designated Account may be established in one of the two ways set out below, as ap- propriate for the operation concerned, as determined and notified by the Bank. 10 16 (a) Segregated Account: this is an account of the borrower into which only proceeds of the loan may be deposited; or (b) Pooled Account: this is an account of the borrower into which the loan proceeds and proceeds of other ft- nancing for the operation (e.g., borrower resources and/ or financing by other development partners) may be de- posited. 5.4 Currency of the Designated Account. Designated Ac- counts must be in a currency acceptable to the Bank. In countries that have a freely convertible currency, Designated Accounts may be held in the currency of the borrower or any freely convertible currency. The Bank may also agree to local currency Designated Accounts when, inter alia, the country's currency (even if not freely convertible) is stable and the expenditures to be financed are primarily in lo- cal currency. The borrower bears all risks associated with foreign exchange fluctuations between (a) the currency of denomination of the loan and that of the borrower's Desig- nated Account, and (b) the currency of denomination of the borrower's Designated Account and the currency or curren- cies of project expenditures. 5.5 Financial Institution. Designated Accounts must be opened and maintained in a financial institution accept- able to the Bank on terms and conditions acceptable to the Bank. To be acceptable to the Bank, the financial institution proposed by the borrower should generally meet all the fol- lowing requirements: (a) be financially sound; (b) be authorized to maintain the Designated Account in the currency agreed between the Bank and the bor- rower; (c) be audited regularly, and receive satisfactory audit re- ports; 11 1 17 Wom,l Brow Di silit ClnmuNs FoI l 11to)lieIs M * M (d) be able to execute a large number of transactions promptly; (e) be able to perform a wide range of banking services sat- isfactorily; (f) be able to provide a detailed statement of the Desig- nated Account; (g) be part of a satisfactory correspondent banking network; and (h) charge reasonable fees for its services. 5.6 The Bank reserves the right not to accept a financial insti- tution for the opening and/or maintenance of a Designated Account if such institution has asserted or asserts a claim to set off, seize, or attach the proceeds of any Bank loan on deposit in a Designated Account maintained by it. 6. Terms and Conditions Applicable to Advances 6.1 Ceiling. The Bank notifies the borrower of the maximum amount of loan proceeds that may be on deposit in a Desig- nated Account (the "Ceiling"). The Bank, at its discretion, may establish the Ceiling as either (a) a fixed amount, or (b) an amount that is adjusted from time to time during project implementation based on periodic forecasts of project cash flow needs. 6.2 Applications for Advances. The borrower may apply for an advance in an amount up to the Ceiling less the aggre- gate amount of those advances previously received by the borrower for which the borrower has not yet provided sup- porting documentation. Normally, to support orderly closure of the Loan Account, the Bank does not advance loan pro- ceeds into the Designated Account after the Closing Date. 6.3 Frequency of Reporting Eligible Expenditures Paid from the Designated Account. The borrower reports on the use of loan proceeds advanced to the Designated Account 1 12 18 at intervals specified by the Bank by notice to the borrower ("Reporting Period"). The borrower should ensure that all amounts deposited in the Designated Account are accounted for and their use reported prior to the Disbursement Dead- line Date. After this date, the borrower must refund to the Bank any advances still unaccounted for or remaining in the Designated Account. 6.4 Withholding Advances. The Bank is not required to make any deposit into the Designated Account if: (a) The Bank determines that payment of the deposit would result in exceeding the Ceiling (see subsection 6.2, "Ap- plications for Advances"); (b) The Bank is not satisfied that the borrower's planned project expenditures justify the deposit. The Bank may, by notice to the borrower, adjust the amount it deposits or withhold further deposits into the Designated Ac- count until it is satisfied that the financial needs of the project warrant further deposits; (c) The borrower fails to take the action required pursuant to the determinations made by the Bank under subsec- tions 7.1 and 7.2 of these Guidelines; (d) The borrower fails to provide any of the audited Finan- cial Statements required in accordance with, and within the period of time specified in, the Loan Agreement; (e) The Bank determines that all further withdrawals of loan proceeds should be made by the borrower directly from the Loan Account; or (f) The Bank has notified the borrower of its intention to suspend in whole or in part the borrower's right to make withdrawals from the Loan Account. 6.5 Excess Advances. If at any time the Bank determines that any amount deposited in the Designated Account will not be required to cover further payments for eligible expenditures ("Excess Amount"), it may, at its discretion, require the borrower to take one of the two actions listed below. Upon 13 I 19 notification by the Bank, the borrower must promptly take the action requested: (a) Provide evidence satisfactory to the Bank within a pe- riod specified by the Bank that the Excess Amount will be used to pay for eligible expenditures. If the evidence is not furnished within the time period specified, the borrower must promptly refund the Excess Amount to the Bank: or (b) Refund the Excess Amoumt promptly. 7. Ineligible Expenditures 7.1 Ineligible Expenditures Generally. If the Bank deter- mines that any amount of the loan was used to pay for an expenditure that is not eligible pursuant to the Loan Agree- ment ("incligible expenditure"), the Bank may, at its dis- cretion, require the borrower to take one of the two actions listed below. Upon notification by the Bank, the borrower must promptly take the action requested: (a) Refund an equivalent amount to the Bank; or (b) Exceptionally, provide substitute documentation evi- dencing other eligible expenditures. 7.2 Ineligible Expenditures Paid from the Designated Account. If the Bank determines that any payment out of the Designated Account was not justified by the evidence furnished to the Bank or was made for an ineligible expen- diture, the Bank may, at its discretion, require the borrower to take one of the actions listed below. Upon notification by the Bank, the borrower must promptly take the action requested: (a) Provide the additional evidence requested by the Bank; (b) Deposit an equivalent amount into the Designated Ac- count; I14 20 (c) Refund an equivalent amount to the Bank; or (d) Exceptionally, provide substitute documentation evi- dencing other eligible expenditures. 8. Refunds 8.1 Borrower Decision to Refund. The borrower may, upon notice to the Bank, refund all or any amount of the loan on deposit in the Designated Account to the Bank for credit to the Loan Account. 8.2 Consequence of Refunds. The Bank shall determine whether refunds made to the Bank in accordance with sec- tions 6 and 7 and subsection 8.1 of these Disbursement Guidelines will be credited to the Loan Account for subse- quent withdrawal or for cancellation. Borrowers should be aware that refunds of loan proceeds may result in swap ter- mination fees and/or unwinding costs for amounts for which the interest rate basis or currency has been converted or hedged. 8.3 Other Obligations Unaffected by Refunds. Refunds of amounts of the loan do not affect any remedies of the Bank under the Loan Agreement. 15 I 21 ¤ Z C CT~ 7 r: * 10D -.

SIDC can be either: (a) hardware-based (Physical Token), or (b) software-based (Soft Token). The Bank reserves the right to determine which type of SIDC is most appropriate. A. Identification of Users. 1. The Borrower will be required to identify in a completed Authorized Signatory Letter (ASL) duly delivered to and received by the Bank each person who will be authorized to deliver Applications. The Bank will provide SIDC to each person identified in the ASL (Signatory), as provided below. The Borrower shall also immediately notify the Bank if a Signatory is no longer authorized by the Borrower to act as a Signatory. 2. Each Signatory must register as a user on the Bank's Client Connection (CC) website (https://clientconnection.worldbank.ori) prior to receipt of his/her SIDC. Registration on CC will require that the Signatory establish a CC password (CC Password). The Signatory shall not reveal his/her CC Password to anyone or store or record the CC Password in written or other form. Upon registration as a CC user, the Signatory will be assigned a unique identifying account name. B. Initialization of SIDC. 1. Prior to initialization of SIDC by a Signatory, the Signatory will acknowledge having read, understood and agreed to be bound by these Terms and Conditions of Use. 2. Where a Physical Token is to be used, promptly upon receipt of the Physical Token, the Signatory will access CC using his/her account name and CC Password and 6 "Bank" includes IBRD and IDA. 7 "Borrower" includes the borrower of an IBRD loan, IDA credit, or Project Preparation Facility advance and the recipient of a grant. Disbursement Letter - TF099529 register his/her Physical Token and set a personal identification number (PIN) to be used in connection with the use of his/her Physical Token, after which the Physical Token will be initialized for use by the Signatory exclusively for purposes of delivering Applications.

Upon initialization of the SIDC, the Signatory will be a "SIDC User". The Bank will maintain in its database a user account (Account) for each SIDC User for purposes of managing the SIDC of the SIDC User. Neither the Borrower nor the SIDC User will have any access to the Account. 3. Prior to first use of the SIDC by the SIDC User, the Borrower shall ensure that the SIDC User has received training materials provided by the Bank in use of the SIDC. C. Use of SIDC. Use of the SIDC is strictly limited to use in the delivery of Applications by the SIDC User in the manner prescribed by the Bank in the Agreement(s) and these Terms and Conditions. Any other use of the SIDC is prohibited. 2. The Bank assumes no responsibility or liability whatsoever for any misuse of the SIDC by the SIDC User, other representatives of the Borrower, or third parties. 3. The Borrower undertakes to ensure, and represents and warrants to the Bank (such representation and warranty being expressly relied upon by the Bank in granting SIDC) that each SIDC User understands and will abide by, these Terms and Conditions of Use, including without limitation the following: 4. Security 4.1. The SIDC User shall not reveal his/her PIN to anyone or store or record the PIN in written or other form. 4.2. The SIDC User shall not allow anyone else to utilize his/her SIDC to deliver an Application to the Bank. 4.3. The SIDC User shall always logout from CC when not using the system. Failure to logout properly can create a route into the system that is unprotected. 4.4. If the SIDC User believes a third party has learned his/her PIN or has lost his/her Physical Token he/she shall immediately notify clientconnection@worldbank.org. 4.5. The Borrower shall immediately notify the Bank at clientconnection@worldbank.org of any lost, stolen or compromised SIDC, and take other reasonable steps to ensure such SIDC are disabled immediately. 26 Disbursement Letter - TF099529 5. Reservation of Right to Disable SIDC 5.1. The Borrower shall reserve the right to revoke the authorization of a SIDC User to use a SIDC for any reason. 5.2. The Bank reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to temporarily or permanently disable a SIDC, de-activate a SIDC User's Account or both. 6. Care of Physical Tokens 6.1. Physical Tokens will remain the property of the Bank. 6.2. The Bank will physically deliver a Physical Token to each Signatory designated to receive one in a manner to be determined by and satisfactory to the Bank. 6.3. Physical Tokens contain delicate and sophisticated instrumentation and therefore should be handled with due care, and should not be immersed in liquids, exposed to extreme temperatures, crushed or bent. Also, Physical Tokens should be kept more than five (5) cm from devices that generate electromagnetic radiation (EMR), such as mobile phones, phone-enabled PDAs, smart phones and other similar devices. Physical Tokens should be carried and stored separate from any EMR device. At close range (less than 5 cm), these devices can output high levels of EMR that can interfere with the proper operation of electronic equipment, including the Physical Token. 6.4. Without derogating from these Terms and Conditions of Use, other technical instructions on the proper use and care of Physical Tokens are available at http://www.rsa.com. 7. Replacement 7.1. Lost, damaged, compromised (in terms of 4.5, above) or destroyed Physical Tokens will be replaced at the expense of the Borrower. 7.2. The Bank reserves the right, in its sole discretion, not to replace any Physical Token in the case of misuse, or not to reactivate a SIDC User's Account. 27 Attachment 4 BANCO INTERNACIONAL DE RECONSTRUCCION Y FOMENTO CERTIFICADO DE GASTOS SIN DOCUMENTACIÓN PRESTAMO/CREDITO/DONACION NO.: NO.
