(b)      Automatic Shelf Registration Statement.    If, on any date after the filing of an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement by the Company, the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement becomes unusable by the Securityholders to sell their Registrable Securities because the Company is no longer a Well Known Seasoned Issuer (a “Determination Date”), the Company shall, within 10 Business Days after such Determination Date, (i) give written notice thereof to each of the Securityholders, (ii) file a Registration Statement on an appropriate form (or a post-effective amendment converting the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement to a Registration Statement on an appropriate form) registering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities then issued and outstanding, including in the form of ADRs (which shall be deemed to be a Shelf Registration Statement for purposes of this Agreement), (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as practicable after the date the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is no longer useable by the Securityholders to sell their Registrable Securities, and (iv) give written notice to the Securityholders of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement as promptly as practicable following the declaration by the SEC that such Registration Statement is effective. If, following a Determination Date, the Company has been required hereunder to file an additional Registration Statement or amendment thereto, and the Company has resumed its status as a Well Known Seasoned Issuer eligible to file an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement (which shall be deemed to be a Shelf Registration Statement for purposes of this Agreement) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities then issued and outstanding, including in the form of ADRs, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as promptly as practicable.

(c)      Requests for Shelf Takedowns.    If one or more of the Securityholders desires to initiate an offering or sale of all or part of such IFC Parties’ Registrable Securities, including in the form of ADRs, in an offering that is not underwritten (a “Shelf Takedown”), such Securityholder or Securityholders shall so indicate in a written request delivered to the Company no later than five (5) Business Days (or in the event any amendment or supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement and/or any related Prospectus is necessary, no later than ten (10) Business Days) prior to the expected date of such Shelf Takedown, which request shall include (i) the total number of Registrable Securities expected to be offered and sold in such Shelf Takedown, (ii) the expected plan of distribution of such Shelf Takedown, and (iii) the action or actions required (including the timing thereof) in connection with such Shelf Takedown (including the delivery of one or more stock certificates representing Registrable Securities, including in the form of ADRs, to be sold in such Shelf Takedown), and, to the extent necessary, the Company shall file and effect an amendment or supplement to its then-effective Shelf Registration Statement and/or any related Prospectus for such purpose as soon as practicable; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to file an


- 22 -

 

amendment or supplement to its then-effective Shelf Registration Statement (i) within thirty (30) days of a previous amendment or supplement with respect to a Shelf Takedown, or (ii) if the net proceeds (after deducting broker’s commissions) from the sale of Registrable Securities in the offering is not reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, twenty million Dollars ($20,000,000).

(d)        Restrictions on Use of Registration Statement.  Upon written notice to each of the Securityholders, the Company shall be entitled to suspend, for a period of time (each, a “Suspension Period”), the use of any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus and shall not be required to amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement, any related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference if the board of directors, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of the Company determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that the Registration Statement or any Prospectus may contain an untrue statement of a material fact or may omit any fact necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or Prospectus not misleading; provided, that (A) there is no more than one (1) Suspension Period in any twelve (12) month period, (B) the total duration of all Suspension Periods in any twelve (12) month period may not exceed ninety (90) days and (C) the Company shall use its good faith efforts to amend the Registration Statement and/or Prospectus to correct such untrue statement or omission as promptly as reasonably practicable unless, the Company determines in good faith that such amendment would reasonably be expected to have a materially detrimental effect on the Company with respect to any proposal or plan of the Company to effect a merger, acquisition, disposition, financing, reorganization, recapitalization or similar transaction or any negotiations, discussions or pending proposals with respect thereto.

(e)        Other Registration Rights.  The Company shall not grant to any Person the right (other than as set forth herein and except with respect to registrations on Form S-8 and with respect to registrations on Form F-4 (or any successor forms thereto)), to request the Company to register any securities of the Company, except such rights as do not adversely affect the rights of IFC Parties set forth herein.

(f)        Company Undertakings.  For so long as any Registrable Securities are issued and outstanding, the Company shall:

(i)      use its commercially reasonable efforts to continue to meet the Registrant Requirements set forth in General Instruction I.A. of Form F-3 (including as these requirements may be modified from time to time);

(ii)     use its commercially reasonable efforts to remain a Well Known Seasoned Issuer (and not become an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act));

(v)       (A) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to each Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act, including post-effective amendments to each Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective for the applicable time period required hereunder; and (B) cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) promulgated under the Securities Act;

(vii)     upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, make available for inspection and copying by any IFC Party and counsel to the IFC Parties all financial and other records and pertinent corporate documents of the Company that are reasonably requested, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information and participate in any due diligence sessions reasonably requested by any such IFC Party or counsel to the IFC Parties in connection with a Shelf Registration Statement or Shelf Takedown, as applicable

(xiv)      (A) register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any IFC Party reasonably requests, (B) keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as the applicable Registration Statement remains in effect, and (C) use its commercially reasonable efforts to do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such IFC Party to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such IFC Party (provided that the Company shall not be required to (x) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subsection, (y) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (z) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction);

(g)       Indemnification; Contribution.

(i)        The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Securityholder, its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, members, managers and agents and each Person who controls any Securityholder within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses and actions (“Losses”) to which they or any of them may become subject insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Shelf Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or the Disclosure Package, or any preliminary, final or summary Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus included in any such Registration Statement, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Disclosure Package, or any preliminary, final or summary Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus included in any such Registration Statement (in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Losses or action (whether or not the indemnified party is a party to any proceeding); provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any case to the extent that any such Losses arise (i) out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with Selling Holder Information or other written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Securityholder specifically for inclusion therein, or (ii) out of sales of Registrable Securities made during a Suspension Period after notice is given pursuant to Section 4.07(d) hereof. This indemnity clause will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

(ii)       Each IFC Party severally (and not jointly) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its Affiliates, directors, employees, members, managers and agents and each Person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all Losses to which they or any of them may become subject insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Shelf Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Disclosure Package or any preliminary, final or summary Prospectus included in any such Registration Statement, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Disclosure Package, or any preliminary, final or summary Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus included in any such Registration Statement, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is contained in any written information relating to such IFC Party furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such IFC Party specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity; provided, however, that the total amount to be indemnified by such IFC Party pursuant to this Section 4.07(g)(ii) shall be limited to the net proceeds (after deducting broker’s commissions) received by such IFC Party in the offering to which such Shelf Registration Statement, Disclosure Package, Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus relates. This indemnity clause will be in addition to any liability which any such IFC Party may otherwise have

(iii)     Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 4.07(g) of notice of the commencement of any action in respect of a Loss, such indemnified party will, if a claim


- 26 -

 

in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 4.07(g), notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (A) will not relieve it from liability under subparagraph (i) or (ii) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses; and (B) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in subparagraph (i) or (ii) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, except as provided in the next sentence, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to so assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s rights in the prior sentence, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ its own counsel (and one local counsel), but the indemnified party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel unless (A) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would be inappropriate due to a conflict of interest in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party; (B) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (C) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (D) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party in writing to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall, in connection with any one action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general circumstances or allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties unless the use of only one firm of attorneys would be inappropriate due to a conflict of interest in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party. An indemnifying party shall not be liable under this Section 4.07(g) to any indemnified party regarding any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent is consented to in writing by such indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise if any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement or compromise (A) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding, (B) does not involve the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition of any obligations on such indemnified party, and does not otherwise adversely affect such indemnified party, other than as a result of the imposition of financial obligations for which such indemnified party will be indemnified hereunder and (C) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(iv)      In the event that the indemnity provided in Section 4.07(g)(i), Section 4.07(g)(ii) and Section 4.07(g)(iii) above is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party with respect to any Loss referred to herein, then each applicable indemnifying party agrees to contribute to the aggregate Losses (including, without limitation, legal or other expenses


- 27 -

 

reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) to which such indemnifying party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party on the one hand or the indemnified party on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.07(g)(iv) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the IFC Parties or any agents or all of them were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 4.07(g)(iv). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 4.07(g)(iv) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.07(g)(iv), no Person guilty of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 4.07(g)(iv), each Person who controls any IFC Party or agent within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of any IFC Party or agent shall have the same rights to contribution as such IFC Party or agent, and each Person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each officer and director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this Section 4.07(g)(iv).

(v)       The provisions of this Section 4.07(g) will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any IFC Party or the Company or any of the officers, directors or controlling Persons referred to in this Section 4.07(g), and will survive the transfer of Registrable Securities.

Policy Agreement


ANNEX A

ANTI-CORRUPTION GUIDELINES FOR

IFC TRANSACTIONS

The purpose of these Guidelines is to clarify the meaning of the terms “Corrupt Practice”, “Fraudulent Practice”, “Coercive Practice”, “Collusive Practice” and “Obstructive Practice” in the context of IFC operations.

 

1.

CORRUPT PRACTICES

A “Corrupt Practice” is the offering, giving, receiving or soliciting, directly or indirectly, of anything of value to influence improperly the actions of another party.

INTERPRETATION

 

  A.

Corrupt practices are understood as kickbacks and bribery. The conduct in question must involve the use of improper means (such as bribery) to violate or derogate a duty owed by the recipient in order for the payor to obtain an undue advantage or to avoid an obligation. Antitrust, securities and other violations of law that are not of this nature are excluded from the definition of corrupt practices.

 

  B.

It is acknowledged that foreign investment agreements, concessions and other types of contracts commonly require investors to make contributions for bona fide social development purposes or to provide funding for infrastructure unrelated to the project. Similarly, investors are often required or expected to make contributions to bona fide local charities. These practices are not viewed as Corrupt Practices for purposes of these definitions, so long as they are permitted under local law and fully disclosed in the payor’s books and records. Similarly, an investor will not be held liable for corrupt or fraudulent practices committed by entities that administer bona fide social development funds or charitable contributions.

 

  C.

In the context of conduct between private parties, the offering, giving, receiving or soliciting of corporate hospitality and gifts that are customary by internationally-accepted industry standards shall not constitute corrupt practices unless the action violates Applicable Law.

 

  D.

Payment by private sector persons of the reasonable travel and entertainment expenses of public officials that are consistent with existing practice under relevant law and international conventions will not be viewed as Corrupt Practices.

 

  E.

The World Bank Group1 does not condone facilitation payments. For the purposes of implementation, the interpretation of “Corrupt Practices” relating to facilitation payments will take into account relevant law and international conventions pertaining to corruption.

 

 

 

1 

The “World Bank” is the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, an international organization established by Articles of Agreement among its member countries and the “World Bank Group” refers to the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the International Development Association, the International Finance Corporation, the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency, and the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes.


2.

FRAUDULENT PRACTICES

A “Fraudulent Practice” is any action or omission, including a misrepresentation that knowingly or recklessly misleads, or attempts to mislead, a party to obtain a financial or other benefit or to avoid an obligation.

INTERPRETATION

 

  A.

An action, omission, or misrepresentation will be regarded as made recklessly if it is made with reckless indifference as to whether it is true or false. Mere inaccuracy in such information, committed through simple negligence, is not enough to constitute a “Fraudulent Practice” for purposes of this Agreement.

 

  B.

Fraudulent Practices are intended to cover actions or omissions that are directed to or against a World Bank Group entity. It also covers Fraudulent Practices directed to or against a World Bank Group member country in connection with the award or implementation of a government contract or concession in a project financed by the World Bank Group. Frauds on other third parties are not condoned but are not specifically sanctioned in IFC, MIGA, or PRG operations. Similarly, other illegal behavior is not condoned, but will not be considered as a Fraudulent Practice for purposes of this Agreement.

 

3.

COERCIVE PRACTICES

A “Coercive Practice” is impairing or harming, or threatening to impair or harm, directly or indirectly, any party or the property of the party to influence improperly the actions of a party.

INTERPRETATION

 

  A.

Coercive Practices are actions undertaken for the purpose of bid rigging or in connection with public procurement or government contracting or in furtherance of a Corrupt Practice or a Fraudulent Practice.

 

  B.

Coercive Practices are threatened or actual illegal actions such as personal injury or abduction, damage to property, or injury to legally recognizable interests, in order to obtain an undue advantage or to avoid an obligation. It is not intended to cover hard bargaining, the exercise of legal or contractual remedies or litigation.

 

4.

COLLUSIVE PRACTICES

A “Collusive Practice” is an arrangement between two or more parties designed to achieve an improper purpose, including to influence improperly the actions of another party.

INTERPRETATION

Collusive Practices are actions undertaken for the purpose of bid rigging or in connection with public procurement or government contracting or in furtherance of a Corrupt Practice or a Fraudulent Practice.

 

5.

OBSTRUCTIVE PRACTICES

An “Obstructive Practice” is (i) deliberately destroying, falsifying, altering or concealing of evidence material to the investigation or making of false statements to investigators, in order to materially impede a World Bank Group investigation into allegations of a corrupt, fraudulent,


coercive or collusive practice, and/or threatening, harassing or intimidating any party to prevent it from disclosing its knowledge of matters relevant to the investigation or from pursuing the investigation, or (ii) an act intended to materially impede the exercise of IFC’s access to contractually required information in connection with a World Bank Group investigation into allegations of a corrupt, fraudulent, coercive or collusive practice.

INTERPRETATION

Any action legally or otherwise properly taken by a party to maintain or preserve its regulatory, legal or constitutional rights such as the attorney-client privilege, regardless of whether such action had the effect of impeding an investigation, does not constitute an Obstructive Practice.

GENERAL INTERPRETATION

A person should not be liable for actions taken by unrelated third parties unless the first party participated in the prohibited act in question.
