4.2. Implementation of the project
The Borrower shall apply all care and diligence, and shall exercise all typically used means, in particular financial, technical, social, and managerial means and those concerning environmental protection, which shall be necessary for the proper implementation of the project.
In particular, it shall ensure - before the project is implemented - that all the financing, land and real property rights which are necessary therefor are available and that all assets and plant are permanently insured and maintained.
The Borrower undertakes, moreover, that:
- the project complies with the relevant Council of Europe conventions;
- the project respects the environment, on the basis of relevant international conventions;
- partial financing by the Fund does not exceed 40% of the total cost of the project, excluding taxes, interest and financial charges.
- investments higher than the contra value of 10 million ECU shall be subject to international calls for tender.
4.3. Borrower’s Reports
4.3.1. Project progress reports
At least once a year, from the disbursement of the loan up until the completion of the entire project, the Borrower shall send to the Fund a report detailing:
- the state of use of the loan;

Appendix 5 specifies the model monitoring sheet for the loan and the project that must – as a minimum – be included.
4.3.2. Project completion report
At the completion of the entire project, the Borrower shall present in a final report, the project’s economic, financial, social and environmental effects.
4.4. Information provision to the Fund
The Borrower shall keep accounting records concerning the project, which shall be in conformity with international standards, which shall show, at any point, the project’s state of progress, and which shall record all operations made, and financially identify works, goods and services financed with the help of the present loan.
The Borrower undertakes to favourably receive any reasonable information missions carried out by employees of the Fund or outside consultants hired by the Fund, and to provide all the necessary co-operation for their information mission, by facilitating any possible visits to the site of the project. In particular, the Fund may have an on-site audit of the project’s accounting carried out by one or more consultants of its choice at the Borrower’s expense in the case of default by the Borrower in respect of any of its obligations under the present loan.

The payment of the due amount stipulated on the Promissory Note releases the Borrower from its obligations as defined in Article 3 above.
After the full sum of the principal of this loan, and all interest and other expenses resulting therefrom, in particular those sums under Articles 6 and 7 below, have been duly paid, the Borrower shall be fully released from its obligations towards the Fund, with the exception of those set out in Article 4 above.

Notwithstanding any other recourse available to the Fund under the present agreement and the Loan Regulations, or otherwise, if the Borrower does not pay all interest or any other sum payable under the present agreement at the latest on the due date specified, the Borrower must pay additional interest on the sum due and not fully paid, at the one-month LIBOR rate for the currency of the late payment as of the due date (if Saturday, Sunday or bank holiday, the first following working day) at 11 a.m. (local time in London), plus 2.5% per annum, as of the due date of this sum until the date of actual payment. The applicable one-month LIBOR rate shall be updated every 30 days.

All duties and taxes of all kinds, due and paid, and all expenses resulting either from the conclusion, execution, liquidation, cancellation or suspension of this agreement, in all or in part, or from the guarantee or refinancing of the loan granted, together with all judicial or extra-judicial deeds having this loan as their origin, shall be borne by the Borrower.
However, the provisions of Article 25 of Chapter 4 of the Loan Regulations of the Fund shall apply regarding the costs of the arbitration procedure mentioned in said Chapter 4.

The Borrower declares that no other commitment has been made or will be made in the future, which might give a third party a preferential rank, a preferential right of payment, a collateral or guarantee of any nature whatsoever which might confer enhanced rights upon third parties (hereinafter “security“).
If such a security were nevertheless granted to a third party, the Borrower agrees to form or supply an identical security in favour of the Fund or, where it is hindered in doing so, an equivalent security, and to stipulate the formation of such a security in favour of the Fund.
Failure to comply with these provisions would represent a case of default as laid down in Article 13-h of Chapter 3 of the Loan Regulations of the Fund and may give rise to the suspension, cancellation or immediate repayability of the loan.

The Borrower may not raise any fact relating, within the scope of the use of the loan, to its relations with third parties in order to avoid fulfilling, either totally or partially, the obligations resulting from this agreement.
The Fund may not be involved in disputes which might arise between the Borrower and third parties and the costs, whatever their nature, incurred by the Fund due to any challenge, and in particular all legal or court costs, shall be at the expense of the Borrower.

This agreement shall enter into force after its ratification by the Parliament of the Republic of Slovenia, the day following its publication in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia.

This agreement and the negotiable securities relating thereto shall be governed by the rules of the Fund as specified in the provisions of Article 1, paragraph 3, of the Third Additional Protocol dated 6 March 1959 to the General Agreement on Privileges and Immunities of the Council of Europe dated 2 September 1949 and, secondarily, if necessary, by French law.
Disputes between the parties to this agreement shall be subject to arbitration under the conditions laid down in Chapter 4 of the Loan Regulations of the Fund.

The Borrower states that it has taken note of the Loan Regulations of the Fund, and have received a copy thereof.
Where there is a contradiction between any provision whatsoever of the Loan Regulations of the Fund and any provision whatsoever of this agreement, the provision of this agreement shall prevail.
The headings of the paragraphs, sections, and chapters of the present agreement shall not serve for its interpretation.
In no case shall it be presumed that the Fund has tacitly waived any right granted to it by the present agreement.

The contracting parties agree not to take advantage of any privilege, immunity or legislation before any jurisdictional or other authority, whether domestic or international, in order to object to the enforcement of an award handed down in the conditions laid down in Chapter 4 of the Loan Regulations of the Fund.

The Borrower represents and warrants:
– that its competent bodies have authorised it to make the present agreement and have given the signatory(ies) the authorisation therefor, in accordance with the laws, decrees, regulations, articles of association, and other texts applicable to it;
– that the drawing up and execution of the present agreement does not contravene the laws, decrees, regulations, articles of association, and other texts applicable to it and that all the permits, licences, and authorisations necessary therefor have been obtained and shall remain valid for the entire loan period.
Any change in relation to the above representations and warranties must, for the entire loan period, be notified to the Fund immediately, and any supporting documents provided.

Pred začetkom izvajanja projekta zagotovi zlasti, da so na voljo vse potrebne finančne, zemljiške in nepremičninske pravice in da so vsa sredstva in naprave ves čas zavarovane in vzdrževane.
Poleg tega se posojilojemalka zaveže, da:

4.4. Obveščanje sklada
Posojilojemalka bo vodila računovodske evidence o projektu, ki bodo skladne z mednarodnimi standardi in iz katerih bo v vsakem trenutku razviden potek projekta in v katerih bodo evidentirani vsi opravljeni posli in finančno opredeljena dela, blago in storitve, ki se financirajo s pomočjo tega posojila.
Posojilojemalka se zavezuje, da bo sprejela in podprla vse upravičene poizvedbene misije, ki jih opravljajo uslužbenci sklada ali zunanji svetovalci, ki jih najame sklad, in sodelovala pri izvedbi njihovih poizvedbenih misij tako, da jim bo omogočila morebitne obiske projekta na kraju samem. Predvsem pa lahko sklad izvede računovodsko revizijo projekta na kraju samem s pomočjo enega ali več svetovalcev po lastni izbiri in v breme posojilojemalke, če je slednja kršila obveznosti iz tega posojila.

S plačilom dolgovanega zneska, navedenega v zadolžnici, prenehajo obveznosti posojilojemalke, opredeljene v 3. členu.
Po plačilu celotnega zneska glavnice, vseh obresti in drugih stroškov, ki izvirajo iz tega posojila, zlasti zneskov iz 6. in 7. člena, odplačanih na način, kot se zahteva, bo posojilojemalka v celoti prosta obveznosti do sklada, razen tistih, ki so določene v 4. členu.

Ne glede na katero koli drugo pravico do regresa, ki jo sklad uživa po tem sporazumu in Pravilniku o posojilih ali kako drugače, mora posojilojemalka, če ne plača vseh obresti ali katerega koli drugega zneska, ki ga je dolžna plačati po tem sporazumu najpozneje do dneva zapadlosti, plačati dodatne obresti na zapadle, a še ne v celoti odplačane zneske, po enomesečni obrestni meri LIBOR, ki velja za valuto zakasnelega plačila na dan njegove zapadlosti (če je to sobota, nedelja ali v banki dela prost dan, prvi naslednji delovni dan) ob 11. uri dopoldne (po londonskem času), in še 2,5% letnih obresti od dne zapadlosti tega zneska do dne dejanskega odplačila. Veljavna enomesečna obrestna mera LIBOR se določa vsakih 30 dni.

Dajatve in davki vseh vrst, zapadli in plačani, in prav tako vsi stroški, ki izhajajo iz sklepanja, izvrševanja, likvidacije, preklica ali začasne ustavitve izvajanja tega sporazuma, bodisi v celoti ali delno, ali iz garancij ali refinanciranja dodeljenega posojila skupaj z vsemi sodnimi ali izvensodnimi akti, ki izhajajo iz tega posojila, bremenijo posojilojemalko.
Vendar se določbe 25. člena 4. poglavja Pravilnika o posojilih sklada uporabljajo za stroške arbitražnega postopka, omenjenega v tem 4. poglavju.

Posojilojemalka izjavlja, da ni in v prihodnje ne bo sprejela nobene druge obveznosti, ki bi tretji osebi zagotovila ugodnejši položaj, ugodnejše pravice plačila, kakršno koli poroštvo ali garancijo, kar bi tretjim osebam zagotavljalo ugodnejše pravice (v nadaljevanju “zavarovanje“).
Če posojilojemalka kljub temu tretji osebi da zavarovanje, soglaša, da bo v korist sklada pripravila ali zagotovila enako zavarovanje oziroma, kadar to ni mogoče, enakovredno zavarovanje in da se bo zavezala za oblikovanje takega zavarovanja v korist sklada.
Neupoštevanje teh določb bi pomenilo kršitev, opredeljeno v členu 13 h) 3. poglavja Pravilnika o posojilih sklada, in je lahko vzrok za začasno ustavitev, preklic ali takojšnje odplačilo posojila.

V okviru porabe posojila se posojilojemalka ne sme sklicevati na nobeno dejstvo v zvezi s svojimi odnosi s tretjimi osebami, da bi se v celoti ali delno izognila obveznostim, ki izhajajo iz tega sporazuma.
Sklad se ne sme vključiti v spore, ki bi lahko nastali med posojilojemalko in tretjimi osebami; stroški kakršne koli narave, ki jih ima sklad zaradi kakršnega koli spora, zlasti pa vsi pravni ali sodni stroški, bremenijo posojilojemalko.

Ta sporazum začne veljati po ratifikaciji v Državnem zboru Republike Slovenije, in sicer naslednji dan po objavi v Uradnem listu Republike Slovenije.

Za ta sporazum in prenosljive vrednostne papirje v zvezi z njim se uporabljajo pravila sklada, kot je določeno v tretjem odstavku 1. člena Tretjega dodatnega protokola z dne 6. marca 1959 k Splošnemu sporazumu o privilegijih in imunitetah Sveta Evrope z dne 2. septembra 1949 in podrejeno po potrebi francosko pravo.
Spore med pogodbenicama tega sporazuma rešuje arbitraža pod pogoji, določenimi v 4. poglavju Pravilnika o posojilih sklada.

Posojilojemalka izjavlja, da je seznanjena s Pravilnikom o posojilih sklada in da je prejela kopijo pravilnika.
Če pride do neskladja med katero koli določbo Pravilnika o posojilih sklada in katero koli določbo tega sporazuma, prevladajo določbe tega sporazuma.
Naslovi odstavkov, razdelkov in poglavij tega sporazuma se ne uporabljajo za njegovo razlago.
V nobenem primeru se ne domneva, da se je sklad molče odpovedal kakršni koli pravici, ki mu je priznana s tem sporazumom.

Pogodbenici se strinjata, da se ne bosta sklicevali na noben privilegij, imuniteto ali zakonodajo pred kakršno koli pravosodno ali drugo oblastjo, bodisi domačo ali mednarodno, da bi ugovarjali izvršitvi razsodbe, sprejete pod pogoji, določenimi v 4. poglavju Pravilnika o posojilih sklada.

Posojilojemalka izjavlja in jamči:
– da so jo njeni pristojni organi pooblastili za sklenitev tega sporazuma in da so podpisniku(-om) v ta namen dali pooblastilo v skladu z zakoni, odloki, uredbami in pravilniki, statuti ter drugimi besedili, ki se v tej zvezi uporabljajo;
– da sestava in izvajanje tega sporazuma nista v nasprotju z zakoni, odloki, uredbami in pravilniki, statuti ter drugimi besedili, ki se v tej zvezi uporabljajo, in da so bila pridobljena vsa potrebna dovoljenja, licence in pooblastila, ki bodo veljala vse posojilno obdobje.
V vsem posojilnem obdobju je treba vsako spremembo v zvezi z zgoraj omenjenimi izjavami in jamstvi nemudoma sporočiti skladu in mu poslati vso ustrezno dokumentacijo.
