For the purposes of this Schedule the ter "foreign expendi- tures" means expenditures in the currency of a country other than any Guarantor and for goods or services supplied from the terri- tory of any country other than any Guarantor; provided, however, that if the currency of any Guarantor is also that of another country from the territory of vhich goods or services are supplied, expenditures in such currency for such goods or services shall be deemed to be "foreign expenditures". 3. The disbursement percentages have been calculated in compli- ance with the policy of the Bank that no proceeds of the Loan and of the Government Loans shall be disbursed on account of payments for taxes levied by, or in the territory of, any Guarantor on goods or services, or on the importation, manufacture, procurement or supply thereof; to that end, if the amount of any such taxes lev- ied on or in respect of any item to be financed out of the proceeds of the Loan or of the Government Loans decreases or increases, the Bank may, by notice to the Borrower, increase or decrease the dis- bursement percentage then applicable to such item as required to be consistent with the aforementioned policy of the Bank. 4. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 1 above, no with- drawals shall be made in respect of payments made for expenditures prior to the date of this Agreement. 5.

Notwithstanding the allocation of an amount of the Loan and of the Government Loans or the disbursement percentages set forth in the table in paragraph 1 above, if the Bank has reasonably es- timated that the amount of the Loan and of the Government Loans then allocated to any Category will be insufficient to finance the agreed percentage of all expenditures in that Category, the Bank may, by notice to the Borrower: (i) reallocate to such Category, to the extent required to meet the estimated shortfall, proceeds of the Loan and of the Government Loans which are then allocated to another Category and which in the opinion of the Bank are not needed to meet other expenditures, and (ii) if such reallocation cannot fully meet the estimated shortfall, reduce the disbursement percentage then applicable to such expenditures in order that fur- ther withdrawals under such Category may continue until all expen- ditures thereunder shall have been made. T. If the Bank shall have reasonably determined that the procure- ment of any item in any Category is inconsistent with the proce- dures set forth or referred to in this Agreement, no expenditures for such item shall be financed out of the proceeds of the Loan ) or of the Government Loans and the Bank may, without in any way restricting or limiting any other right, power or remedy of the Bank under the Loan Agreement, by notice to the Borrower, cancel such amount of the Loan or of the Government Loans as, in the Bank's reasonable opinion, represents the amount of such expenditures which would otherwise have been eligible for financing out of the proceeds of the Loan or of the Government Loans. - 36 - SCHEDULE 2 Description of the Project The Project is the industrial component of a regional clinker manufacturing venture in West Africa which also includes the Infrastructure Project described in Schedule 3 hereinafter.

With respect to the goods and works referred to in paragraph 1 above: (a) there shall be one contract for the supply, the erec- tion and the installation (including such supervision and staff training as may be required) of the facilities included in Parts A.3 (a) through (c) of the Project and the clinker transport facilities included in Part A.3 (d) of the Project; (b) bidders shall be prequalified as described in paragraph 1.3 of Part A of the Guidelines; and (c) a two-stage bidding procedure shall apply (i) to the contract referred to in paragraph 2 (a) above and (ii) to con- tracts for electrical equipment and civil works for foundations and super structures. The first stage shall consist of the pre- sentations by bidders of proposals in two separate, sealed enve- lopes, one containing the technical proposal, and the other - 1414 containing the bid price. The Borrower shall open the envelopes containing the technical proposals at a set date and may thereafter request all qualified bidders to make appropriate modifications and changes in the technical proposals and to submit new separate, sealed envelopes containing changes in, and modifications to, their original technical proposals and, if desired, supplemental prices in separate sealed envelopes to reflect the technical modi- fications and changes. The second stage shall consist of the open- ing, at a second set date, of the envelopes containing the original prices and the supplemental prices. Formal bid evaluation shall be conducted immediately thereafter. The Borrower shall clearly indicate the two-stage bidding procedure in the text of the invi- tations to bid and other bidding documents. B. Other Procurement Procedures Contracts for equipment and civil works estimated to cost the equivalent of $200,000 or less per contract, but in the aggre- gate not more than a total of the equivalent of $1,000,000, may be awarded on the basis of bidding following advertising in Togo, the Ivory Coast and Ghana or on the basis of such other procure- ment procedures as the Bank and the Borrower shall agree. C. Evaluation and Comparison of Bids for Goods; Preference for Domestic Manufacturers 1. For the purpose of evaluation and comparison of bids for the supply of goods except those to be preeured in accordance with the procedures referred to in Part B above: (i) bidders shall be required to state in their bid the c.i.f. (Togolese port of entry) - 45 - price for imported goods, or the ex-factory price for goods manu- factured in Togo; (ii) customs duties and other import taxes on imported goods, and sales and similar taxes on goods supplied from Togo, shall be excluded; and (iii) the cost to the Borrower of inland freight and other expenditures incidental to the delivery of goods to the place of their use or installation shall be in- cluded. 2. Goods manufactured in Togo, the Ivory Coast or Ghana may be granted a margin of preference in accordance with, and subject to, the following provisions: (a) All bidding documents for the procurement of goods shall clearly indicate any preference which will be granted, the infor- mation required to establish the eligibility of a bid for such preference and the following methods and stages that will be fol- loved in the evaluation and comparison of bids. (b) After evaluation, responsive bids will be classified in one of the following three groups: (1) Group A: bids offering goods manufactured in Togo, the Ivory Coast or Ghana if the bidder shall have established to the satisfaction of the Borrower and the Bank that the manufacturing cost of such goods includes a value added in Togo, the Ivory Coast or Ghana equal to at least 20% of the ex- factory bid price of such goods. (2) Group B: all other bids offering goods manufactured in Togo, the Ivory Coast or Ghana. (3) Group C: bids offering any other goods. (c) All evaluated bids in each group shall be first compared among themselves, excluding any customs duties and other import taxes on goods to be imported and any sales or similar taxes on goods to be supplied from Togo, to determine the lowest evalu- ated bid of each group. Such lowest evaluated bids shall then be compared with each other, and if, as a result of this comparison, a bid from group A or group B is the lovest, it shall be selected for the award. (d) If, as a result of the comparison under paragraph (c) above, the lowest bid is a bid from group C, all group C bids shall be further compared with the lowest evaluated bid from group A after adding to the c.i.f. bid price of the imported goods offered in each group C bid, for the purpose of this fur- ther comparison only, an amount equal to (i) the amount of cus- toms duties and other import taxes which a non-exempt importer would have to pay for the importation of the goods offered in such group C bid; or (ii) 15% of the c.i.f. bid price of such goods if said customs duties and taxes exceed 15% of such price. If the group A bid in such further comparison is the lowest, it shall be selected for the award; if not, the bid from group C which as a result of the comparison under paragraph (c) is the lowest evaluated bid shall be selected. D. Review of Procurement Decisions by Bank 1. Review of prequalification: The Borrower shall, before qual- ification is invited, inform the Bank in detail of the procedure to be followed, and shall introduce such modifications in said procedure as the Bank shall reasonably request. The list of pre- qualified bidders, together with a statement of their qualifica- tions and of the reasons for the exclusion of any aplicant for prequalification shall be furnished by the Borrower to the Bank for its caments before the applicants are notified of the Bor- rower's decision, and the Borrower shall make such additions to, deletions from, or modifications in, the said list as the Bank shall reasonably request. 2.

The Bank shall, if it determines that the intended award would be inconsistent with the Guidelines or this Schedule, promptly inform the Borrower and state the reasons for such determination. (c) The terms and conditions of the contract shall not, with- out the Bank's concurrence, materially differ from those on which bids were asked or prequalification invited. (d) Two conformed copies of the contract shall be furnished to the Bank promptly after its execution and prior to the submis- sion to the Bank of the first application for withdrawal of funds from the Loan Account in respect of such contract. 3. With respect to each contract to be financed out of the pro- ceeds of the Loan and not governed by the preceding paragraph, the Borrower shall furnish to the Bank, promptly after its execu- tion and prior to the submission to the Bank of the first applica- tion for withdrawal of funds from the Loan Account in respect of such contract, two conformed copies of such contract, together with the analysis of the respective bids, recommendations for award and such other information as the Bank shall reasonably re- quest.
