ANNEX 2
Standard Provisions
This Annex shall be applicable to and form an integral part of all Administration Agreements between the
Bank and the respective Donors.
1. Administration of the Contributions
1.1.
The Bank shall be responsible only for performing those functions specifically set forth in this
Administration Agreement, including its annexes, and shall not be subject to any other duties or
responsibilities to the Donors, including, without limitation, any duties or obligations that might
otherwise apply to a fiduciary or trustee under general principles of trust or fiduciary law. Nothing in this
Administration Agreement shall be considered a waiver of any privileges or immunities of the Bank
under its Articles of Agreement or any applicable law, all of which are expressly reserved.
Each Donor’s Contribution (collectively, the “Contributions”) shall be administered in accordance
1.2.
with the Bank’s applicable policies and procedures, as the same may be amended from time to time,
including its procurement, financial management, disbursement and safeguard policies, its framework to
prevent and combat fraud and corruption and its screening procedures to prevent the use of Bank
resources to finance terrorist activity, in line with the Bank’s obligations to give effect to the relevant
decisions of the Security Council taken under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations. The
Donors acknowledge that this provision does not create any obligations of the Bank under the antiterrorist financing and asset control laws, regulations, rules and executive orders of an individual member
country that may apply to a Donor.
2. Management of the Contributions
2.1.
The funds deposited in the Trust Fund shall be accounted for as a single trust fund and shall be
kept separate and apart from the funds of the Bank. The funds deposited in the Trust Fund may be
commingled with other trust fund assets maintained by the Bank. The Bank, in its capacity as trustee, has
legal title to the funds deposited in the Trust Fund.
2.2.
The currency in which the funds in the Trust Fund shall be held is United States dollars (the
“Holding Currency”).
2.3.
Donors agree to deposit their Contributions in the Contribution Currency stated in their respective
Administration Agreements. In the case of deposits received in a Contribution Currency other than the
Holding Currency, promptly upon the receipt of such amounts and the accompanying Deposit
Instructions, the Bank shall convert such amounts into the Holding Currency at the exchange rate
obtained by the Bank on the date of the conversion. Where deposits prove to be insufficient to complete
activities as a result of exchange rate fluctuations, neither the Bank nor the Donor shall bear any
responsibility for providing any additional financing.
2.4.
The funds deposited in the Trust Fund may be freely exchanged by the Bank into other currencies
as may facilitate their disbursement at the exchange rate obtained by the Bank on the date of the
conversion.
The Bank shall invest and reinvest the funds deposited in the Trust Fund pending their
2.5.
disbursement in accordance with the Bank’s applicable policies and procedures for the investment of trust
