The disbursement percentages have been calculated in compliance with the policy of the Bank that no proceeds of the Loan shall be disbursed on account of payments for taxes levied by, or in the territory of, the Guarantor on goods or services, or on the importation, manufacture, procurement or supply thereof; to that end, if the amount of any such taxes levied on or in respect of any item to be financed out of the proceeds of the Loan decreases or increases, the Bank may, by notice to the Borrower, increase or decrease the disbursement percentage then applicable to such item as required to be consistent with the aforementioned policy of the Bank. 4. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph I above, no withdrawals shall be made in respect of payments made for expenditures prior to the date of this Agreement, except that withdrawals in an aggregate amount not exceeding the equivalent of $200,000, may be made in respect of consultants' services under Category (4) on account of payments made for such expenditures before that date but after August 31, 1977. 5. Notwithstanding the allocation of an amount of the Loan or the disbursement percentages set forth in the table in paragraph I above, if the Bank has reasonably estimated that the amount of the Loan 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, reallocate to such Category, to the extent required to meet the estimated shortfall, proceeds of the Loan which are then allocated to another Category and which in the opinion of the Bank are not needed to meet other expenditures. 6. If the Bank shall have reasonably determined that the procurement of any item in any Category is inconsistent with the procedures set forth or referred to in this Agreement, no expenditures for such item shall be financed out of the proceeds of the Loan 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 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.
