We refer to the individual letters titled Additional Instructions: Disbursement
(“Disbursement Letter”) for the Loans extended to the Province of Santa Fe (“Borrower”) listed in
Annex I of this letter (“Amendment Letter”). We would like to inform you that each of the said
Disbursement Letters is hereby amended to include the following additional instructions:
Section II, Withdrawal of Loan Proceeds, of each Disbursement Letter referred to above is
amended to include a new subsection (iii) which shall read as follows:
(iii) Electronic Delivery (subsection 3.4). The Borrower may deliver Applications to the World
Bank through the World Bank’s Client Connection, web-based portal, by completing Form 2380,
which is accessible through Client Connection (http://clientconnection.worldbank.org). Officials
of the Borrower may deliver Applications electronically on behalf of the Borrower if they: (a) have

Section, to sign and deliver Applications by electronic means and to receive secure identification
devices (“Tokens”) from the World Bank, (b) are registered as users of Client Connection, and (c)
have received from the World Bank Tokens for such purpose. This constitutes an additional means

may in its sole discretion, temporarily or permanently, disallow the electronic delivery of
Applications by the Borrower.
Terms and Conditions of Use of Tokens to Process Applications. By designating

Applications for Withdrawal And Supporting Documentation (“Terms and Conditions of
Use of Tokens”) provided in Annex II. The Borrower also represents and warrants to
the World Bank (and such representations and warranties, including without limitation,
the representations and warranties contained in the Terms and Conditions of Use of
Tokens, shall be relied upon by the Word Bank) that the Borrower shall deliver the
- 2-
Terms and Conditions of Use of Tokens to each authorized signatory and shall cause
each authorized signatory to be bound by those terms and conditions.
All remaining subsections of Section II of the Disbursement Letters are renumbered accordingly.
All other provisions of the said Disbursement Letters remain in full force and effect. The above-mentioned
amendments to the Disbursement Letters shall become effective as of the date of this Amendment Letter.
For the purpose of designating authorized signatories to accept Tokens and to sign and deliver
Applications electronically, please submit a revised Authorized Signatory Letter, in the format provided in
Annex III, for the Loans listed in Annex I of this Amendment Letter. Upon receipt by the World Bank of the
revised Authorized Signatory Letter, the World Bank will register as users of Client Connection all persons

Annex II
Terms and Conditions of Use
of
Secure Identification Devices
in connection with
Use of Electronic Means
To Process
Applications for Withdrawal
And Supporting Documentation
The World Bank will provide secure identification devices (Tokens) to permit the Borrower to
deliver applications for withdrawal under the Agreements and supporting documentation (such
applications and supporting documentation together referred to as Applications) to the World Bank
electronically, on the terms and conditions of use specified herein.
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 World Bank each person who will be authorized to
deliver Applications. The World Bank will provide Tokens to each person identified in the
ASL (Signatory), as provided below. The Borrower shall also immediately notify the World
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 World Bank’s Client Connection (CC) website
(http://clientconnection.worldbank.org ) prior to delivery of Tokens. 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. Distribution, Initialization and Return of Tokens.
1. The World Bank will physically deliver a Token to each Signatory in a manner to be
determined by and satisfactory to the World Bank.
2. At the time of delivery of a Token to a Signatory, the Signatory will receive a copy of these
Terms and Conditions of Use for purposes of initializing the Token.
3. The World Bank will verify that the Token, Temporary Password and Terms and Conditions
of Use have been duly delivered to and received by the CC User.
4. Promptly upon receipt of the Token and Terms and Conditions of Use, the Signatory will
access CC using his/her account name and CC Password and register his/her Token and set a
- 5-
personal identification number (PIN) to be used in connection with the use of his/her Token,
after which the Token will be initialized for use by the Signatory exclusively for purposes of
delivering Applications. Upon initialization of the Token, the Signatory will be a “Token
User”. The World Bank will maintain in its database a user account (Accou nt) for each
Token User for purposes of managing the Token of the Token User. Neither the Borrower
nor the Token User will have any access to the Account.
5. Prior to first use of the Token by the Token User for delivering Applications, the Borrower
shall ensure that the Token User has received training materials provided by the World Bank
in use of the Token.
6. Tokens shall be promptly returned to the World Bank upon request of the World Bank.
C. Management of Tokens.
1. Tokens will remain the property of the World Bank.
2. Use of the Token is strictly limited to use in the delivery of Applications by the Token User
in the manner prescribed by the World Bank in the Agreements and these Terms and
Conditions. Any other use of the Token is prohibited.
3. The World Bank assumes no responsibility or liability whatsoever for any misuse of the
Token by the Token User, other representatives of the Borrower, or third parties.
4. The Borrower undertakes to ensure, and represents and warrants to the World Bank (such
representation and warranty being expressly relied upon by the World Bank in delivery of a
Token to each Token User) that each Token User is provided, understands and will abide by,
these Terms and Conditions of Use, including without limitation the following:
Security
4.1. The Token User shall not reveal his/her PIN to anyone or store or record the PIN in
written or other form.
4.2. The Token User shall not allow anyone else to utilize a Token to deliver an
Application to the World Bank.
4.3. The Token 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 Token User believes a third party has learned his/her PIN or has lost his/her
Token he/she shall immediately notify clientconnection@worldbank.org.
- 6-
4.5. The Borrower shall immediately notify the World Bank at
clientconnection@worldbank.org of any lost, stolen or compromised Tokens, and take other
reasonable steps to ensure such Tokens are disabled immediately.
Care of Tokens
4.6. 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, 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. 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 Token.
4.7 Without derogating from these Terms and Conditions of Use, other technical
instructions on the proper use and care Tokens are available at http://www.rsa.com.
5. Replacement
5.1. Lost, damaged, compromised (in terms of 4.5, above) or destroyed Tokens will be
replaced at the expense of the Borrower.
5.2. The World Bank reserves the right, in its sole discretion, not to replace any Token in
the case of misuse, or not to reactivate a Token User’s Account
6. Reservation of Right to disable Token
6.1. The Borrower shall reserve the right to revoke the authorization of a Token User to
use a Token for any reason.
6.2. The World Bank reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to temporarily or
permanently disable a Token, de-activate a Token User’s Account or both.
