Instrument of Withdrawal from the Original Trust Fund Account (Trust Fund No. 072143)
                        Lebanon Syrian Crisis Trust Fund (LSCTF)

1.      Reference is made to the Administration Arrangement between the the Foreign,
Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) (formerly known as United Kingdom
Department for International Development) (the “Donor”), and the International Bank for
Reconstruction and Development and the International Development Association (collectively, the
“Bank” and together with the Donor, the “Participants”) concerning the Lebanon Syrian Crisis
Trust Fund (Original Trust Fund Account No. 072143) (the “Trust Fund”) effective as of December
2, 2014, as amended (the “Administration Arrangement”).

2.       Reference is also made to the Donor’s communication dated May 20, 2021, informing the
Bank of its desire to withdraw from the Trust Fund. Accordingly, the Donor and the Bank agree
to the following:

        (a)   In accordance with paragraph 6.2 of Annex 2 to the Administration Arrangement,
              the Donor's pro rata share of any uncommitted balance of the Trust Fund is cancelled
              effective as of the last day of the month in which this Instrument is countersigned by
              the Donor (“Cancellation Date”). For clarity, the Donor’s pro rata share is a
              proportion of the Donor’s cumulative paid in contributions compared to the total paid
              in contributions from all donors to the Trust Fund (in the holding currency of the
              Trust Fund) as of the Cancellation Date.

        (b)   Following the Cancellation Date, the Bank will notify the Donor of the amount of its
              pro rata share of any remaining balance of the Trust Fund. The Donor hereby
              instructs the Bank to transfer any such pro rata share to a bank account to be
              designated by the Donor.

        (c)   In the event funds are refunded to the Trust Fund after the Cancellation Date as a
              result of ineligible expenditures, as determined by the Bank in accordance with its
              policies and procedures, that were incurred prior to the Cancellation Date, the Donor
              hereby instructs the Bank to transfer the Donor’s pro rata share to a bank account to
              be designated by the Donor.

        (d)   Except as provided in paragraphs (a) through (c) above, as of the Cancellation Date
              the Donor will have no further rights with respect to the Trust Fund including no
              rights to receive further funds, and the Bank will have no further obligations to the
              Donor under the Administration Arrangement for the Trust Fund, including no
              obligation to provide financial or progress reports.

3.     The Bank will disclose this Instrument of Withdrawal (the “Instrument”) and related
information on this Trust Fund in accordance with the World Bank Policy on Access to
Information. The Donor hereby consents to the disclosure of this Instrument and related
information on this Trust Fund.

4.      Each of the Participants represents, by confirming its acceptance below, that it is authorized
to enter into this Instrument and act in accordance with its provisions. The Participants are
requested to sign and date this Instrument, and upon possession by the Bank of this fully signed
Instrument, this Instrument will become effective as of the date of the last signature.
