   procedures  set forth in paragraphs 2 and 4 of Appendix  1  to  the
   Guidelines  shall apply. Where payments for such contracts  are  to

   copies   of  the  contract  together  with  the  other  information

   the   Borrower   shall  employ  consultants  whose  qualifications,
   experience  and  terms  and  conditions  of  employment  shall   be
   satisfactory  to the Bank. Such consultants shall  be  selected  in
   accordance with principles and procedures satisfactory to the  Bank
   on  the  basis  of  the "Guidelines for the Use of  Consultants  by
   World  Bank  Borrowers and by the World Bank as  Executing  Agency"
   published  by  the Bank in August 1981 (the Consultant Guidelines).
   For  complex,  time-based assignments, the  Borrower  shall  employ
   such  consultants  under  contracts  using  the  standard  form  of
   contract  for consultant's services issued by the Bank,  with  such
   modifications  as  shall have been agreed by  the  Bank.  Where  no
   relevant standard contract documents have been issued by the  Bank,
   the Borrower shall use other standard forms agreed with the Bank.
       2.  Notwithstanding  the  provisions of  paragraph  1  of  this
   Section,  the  provisions  of the Consultant  Guidelines  requiring

   procedures,  letters of invitation, proposals,  evaluation  reports
   and  contracts shall not apply to contracts estimated to cost  less
   than  75,000 USD equivalent each. However, this exception to  prior
   Bank  review  shall  not apply to the terms of reference  for  such
   contracts  nor  to the employment of individuals, to single  source
   selection  of  firms,  to  assignments  of  a  critical  nature  as
   reasonably  determined by the Bank and to amendments  of  contracts
   raising the contract value to 75,000 USD equivalent or above.

   shall  furnish to the Bank requests for deposits into  the  Special
   Account at such intervals as the Bank shall specify.
       ii)  Prior to or at the time of each such request, the Borrower
   shall   furnish.to  the  Bank  the  documents  and  other  evidence
   required  pursuant to paragraph 4 of this Schedule for the  payment
   or  payments in respect of which replenishment is requested. On the
   basis  of  each  such request, the Bank shall,  on  behalf  of  the
   Borrower,  withdraw  from the Loan Account  and  deposit  into  the
   Special  Account such amount as the Borrower shall  have  requested
   and  as  shall have been shown by said documents and other evidence
   to  have  been  paid  out  of  the  Special  Account  for  eligible
   expenditures.
       All  such deposits shall be withdrawn by the Bank from the Loan
   Account  under  the  respective eligible  Categories,  and  in  the
   respective  equivalent  amounts, as shall have  been  justified  by
   said documents and other evidence.
       4.  For  each  payment made by the Borrower out of the  Special
   Account,  the  Borrower  shall, at such  time  as  the  Bank  shall
   reasonably  request, furnish to the Bank such documents  and  other
   evidence  showing  that  such  payment  was  made  exclusively  for
   eligible expenditures.
       5.  Notwithstanding  the  provisions of  paragraph  3  of  this
   Schedule,  the Bank shall not be required to make further  deposits
   into the Special Account:
       a)  if,  at any time, the Bank shall have determined  that  all
   further  withdrawals should be made by the Borrower  directly  from
   the Loan Account in accordance with the provisions of Article V  of
   the  General Conditions and paragraph (a) of Section 2.02  of  this
   Agreement; or
       b)  once the total unwithdrawn amount of the Loan allocated  to
   the  eligible  Categories,  less  the  amount  of  any  outstanding
   special  commitment  entered into by the Bank pursuant  to  Section
   5.02  of the General Conditions with respect to the Project,  shall
   equal  the  equivalent  of  twice  the  amount  of  the  Authorized
   Allocation.
       Thereafter,  withdrawal from the Loan Account of the  remaining
   unwithdrawn   amount  of  the  Loan  allocated  to   the   eligible
   Categories  shall follow such procedures as the Bank shall  specify
   by  notice to the Borrower. Such further withdrawals shall be  made
   only  after  and  to  the  extent that the  Bank  shall  have  been
   satisfied  that  all  such  amounts remaining  on  deposit  in  the
   Special  Account as of the date of such notice will be utilized  in
   making payments for eligible expenditures.
       6.  a)  If the Bank shall have determined at any time that  any
   payment out of the Special Account:
       i)  was  made  for an expenditure or in an amount not  eligible
   pursuant to paragraph 2 of this Schedule; or
       ii)  was  not justified by the evidence furnished to the  Bank,
   the Borrower shall, promptly upon notice from the Bank:
       A) provide such additional evidence as the Bank may request; or
       B)  deposit into the Special Account (or, if the Bank shall  so
   request, refund to the Bank) an amount equal to the amount of  such
   payment or the portion thereof not so eligible or justified.
       Unless  the  Bank shall otherwise agree, no further deposit  by
   the  Bank into the Special Account shall be made until the Borrower
   has  provided such evidence or made such deposit or refund, as  the
   case may be.
       b)  If  the  Bank shall have determined at any  time  that  any
   amount  outstanding in the Special Account will not be required  to
   cover  further  payments  for eligible expenditures,  the  Borrower
   shall, promptly upon notice from the Bank, refund to the Bank  such
   outstanding amount.
       c)  The  Borrower may, upon notice to the Bank, refund  to  the
   Bank  all  or  any portion of the funds on deposit in  the  Special
   Account.
       d)  Refunds to the Bank made pursuant to paragraphs 6 (a),  (b)
   and  (c) of this Schedule shall be credited to the Loan Account for
   subsequent  withdrawal or for cancellation in accordance  with  the
   relevant  provisions  of  this  Agreement,  including  the  General
   Conditions.
