                            SPECIAL ACCOUNT
   
       1. For the purposes of this Schedule:
       (a)  the term "eligible Categories" means Categories set  forth
   in the table in paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 to this Agreement;
       (b)  the  term  "eligible expenditures" means  expenditures  in

   and
       (c) the term "Authorized Allocation" means an amount equivalent
   to  2,000,000  USD  to  be  withdrawn from  the  Loan  Account  and

   otherwise agree, the Authorized Allocation shall be limited  to  an
   amount  equivalent  to 500,000 USD until the  aggregate  amount  of
   withdrawals  from  the Loan Account plus the total  amount  of  all
   outstanding  special commitments entered into by the Bank  pursuant
   to  Section  5.02 of the General Conditions shall be  equal  to  or
   exceed the equivalent of 5,000,000 USD.
       2.   Payments  out  of  the  Special  Account  shall  be   made

   the  Special  Account  has  been duly opened,  withdrawals  of  the
   Authorized  Allocation and subsequent withdrawals to replenish  the
   Special Account shall be made as follows:
       (a)  For withdrawals of the Authorized Allocation, the Borrower
   shall  furnish to the Bank a request or requests for  deposit  into
   the  Special  Account of an amount or amounts which do  not  exceed
   the aggregate amount of the Authorized Allocation. On the basis  of
   such  request  or  requests,  the Bank  shall,  on  behalf  of  the
   Borrower,  withdraw  from the Loan Account  and  deposit  into  the
   Special  Account such amount or amounts as the Borrower shall  have
   requested.
       (b)  (i) For replenishment of the Special Account, the Borrower
   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;
       (b)  if the Borrower shall have failed to furnish to the  Bank,
   within  the  period of time specified in Section 4.01 (b)  (ii)  of
   this  Agreement, any of the audit reports required to be  furnished
   to  the  Bank pursuant to said Section in respect of the  audit  of
   the records and accounts for the Special Account;
       (c)  if, at any time, the Bank shall have notified the Borrower
   of  its  intention to suspend in whole or in part the right of  the
   Borrower to make withdrawals from the Loan Account pursuant to  the
   provisions of Section 6.02 of the General Conditions; or
       (d) once the total unwithdrawn amount of the Loan allocated  to
   the  eligible Categories, minus the total amount of all outstanding
   special  commitments 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.
