We refer to the Development Credit Agreement (the Agreement), dated February

relating to the definition of operating costs, we are pleased to inform you that the 
Association agrees to modify Section 2 (c) of Schedule 1 of the Agreement as follows:
“(c) “operating costs” means the incremental costs arising under the 
Project for the 
PCU, on account of salaries for contractual staff (including 
social security and medical 
expenditures) and travel allowances; the 
purchase of two vehicles and office equipment, and 
their subsequent operation and 
maintenance; selective document acquisition; maintenance 
services; utilities 
and communication charges, and reasonable Bank charges connected to 
special Account management.”
All provisions of the Agreement, except as amended herein, shall remain in full 
force and effect.
Please indicate your agreement with the foregoing by countersigning and dating
