2.2 Certified Translation. Prior to the first disbursement from the Loan, the Borrower shall send KfW the confirmation or the on-lending agreement respectively (together with translations thereof).
2.3 No Liability of Project-Executing Agency. The channelling of the Loan shall not constitute any liability of the Project-Executing Agency to KfW for payment obligations under this Loan Agreement.

As soon as all conditions precedent to disbursement pursuant to Article 3.3 are fulfilled, KfW will disburse the Loan in accordance with the progress of the Project upon request of the Borrower. Disbursement will be effected in accordance with the disbursement schedule contained in Annex 1 to this Loan Agreement.

If the Borrower waives disbursement of a loan amount, or if a Loan amount is not disbursed at all or is not disbursed by the deadline stated in Article 3.2 for other reasons for which KfW cannot be held accountable, the Borrower will promptly pay to KfW upon its request such amount as is necessary to compensate KfW for any losses, expenses or costs incurred by KfW as a result of the non-acceptance of the Loan amount in question.

6.3 Disbursements after the start of repayment. If any Loan amounts are disbursed after their respective repayment period has started, this will not affect the Repayment Schedule so long as the repayment instalment due under the Repayment Schedule at any one time is lower than the loan amount outstanding. If the repayment instalment due for payment exceeds the loan amount outstanding, KfW will adjust the Repayment Schedule accordingly. KfW reserves the right to postpone taking disbursements that are made within 45 days prior to the respective Payment Date into consideration for the determination of the outstanding loan amount until the next Payment Date.
6.4 Prepayment. The following will apply to early repayments:

Such notice is irrevocable; it must specify the date on which the prepayment is to be made and the amount thereof and obligates the Borrower to pay to KfW the stated amount on the stated date.
c) Prepayment compensation. If the Borrower prepays any Loan amount bearing interest at a Fixed Interest Rate the Borrower must immediately pay to KfW upon request such amount as is necessary to compensate KfW for any losses, expenses or costs incurred by KfW as a result of the prepayment i.e. the excess (if any) of (i) the interest for a Loan amount, which KfW would have been entitled to claim until the end of the Fixed Interest Rate Period applying for the Loan amount had the Borrower not dispensed with the disbursement of the Loan amount, over (ii) the interest which KfW could receive by reinvesting the respective Loan amount until the end of the Fixed Interest Rate Period applicable to that Loan amount taking into consideration the repayment of principal as agreed in the Loan Agreement, provided that such excess amount must be discounted by the reinvestment interest rate curve thus determined by KfW. KfW will determine the prepayment compensation and communicate it to the Borrower.
d) Amounts due. Together with the prepayment the Borrower will also pay the following amounts:
aa) any prepayment compensation accruing as a result of the prepayment of Loan amounts; and
bb) all interest accrued on the prepaid Loan amount up until the date of the prepayment.
e) Offsetting. Article 6.2 (Undisbursed loan amounts) will apply mutatis mutandis to the offsetting of prepayments.
6.5 Revised repayment schedule. In the event that Article 6.3 (Disbursements after the start of repayment) or Article 6.4 (Prepayment) applies, KfW will send the Borrower a revised repayment schedule that will become an integral part of this Loan Agreement and will replace the repayment schedule valid until such time.
7.1 Calculation. Interest, the commitment fee, default interest pursuant to Article 7.5, lump-sum compensation for overdue amounts pursuant to Article 7.6, non-acceptance compensation and prepayment compensation will all be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year with 30-day months.

The lump-sum compensation must be paid immediately upon KfW's first demand.

- Constitutional documents of the Borrower and documentary evidence of all necessary governmental actions authorising the execution and delivery of the Agreement,
- All the law, rules, regulations, and procedures of the Recipient, effective on the date hereof, regarding or relating to the execution and delivery of the Agreement (or Law No. 29/2009/QH12 dated 17 June 2009 of the National Assembly on Public Debt Management; Decree No. 79/2010/ND-CP dated 14 July 2010 of the Government on Public Debt Management Operations; Decree No. 118/2008/ND-CP dated 27 November 2008 of the Government on Function, Duties, Power and Organisation of the Ministry of Finance.)
as I have considered to be necessary or desirable to examine in order that I may have this opinion. ;
Terms used herein and defined in the Agreement bear the meanings therein ascribed to them, unless the context otherwise requires.
Accordingly, I am of the opinion that under the laws of Vietnam as at the date hereof;
1. The Borrower has the power and authority to enter into the Agreement and to borrow under the Agreement and has taken all necessary legal actions to authorize such borrowing upon the terms and conditions of the Agreement and to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement;
2. The Agreement as signed by Mr. [Dr. Nguyen Thanh Do, General Director of the External Finance Department of the Ministry of Finance of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam], who was authorised by [HE Mr. Minister of Finance Vuong Dinh Hue], has been duly executed and constitutes legally binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable against it at law in accordance with its respective terms; (the signer will be determined later, there may not be Mr. Nguyen Thanh Do)
3. The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement by the Borrower and the borrowing under the Agreement, at the date of issuance of this legal opinion, do not violate any provision of the laws and regulations of Vietnam.
4. Every consent, license, approval or authorization of any governmental authority or agency required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, legality, validity or enforceability of the Agreement and the borrowing under the Agreement (including the obtaining and transference of all amounts due under the Agreement)have been duly obtained and are in full force and effect;
5. The obligations of the Borrower under the Agreement constitute legal, valid, binding and enforceable, direct and unconditional obligations of the Borrower and rank and will rank at least pari passu with all present unsecured indebtedness and contingent liabilities of the Borrower;
6. The submission by the Borrower to arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Agreement between KfW and the Borrower pursuant to Article [14.9] of the Agreement is valid under the laws of Vietnam;
7. Under the laws of Vietnam, the choice of the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany to govern the Agreement is a valid choice of law, provided that such application or the consequence thereof is not contrary to the basic principles of the law of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. In my opinion the aforementioned condition is met.
8. The waiver by the Borrower of any right of immunity on grounds of sovereignty or otherwise from jurisdiction, attachment (before or after judgment) or execution as provided in Article 14.8 of the Agreement is valid.
9. All payments to be made by the Borrower on the basis of the Agreement shall be made without withholding or reduction for any Taxes or Documentary Taxes in accordance with the double taxation treaty between the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and the Federal Republic of Germany dated November 6th 1995.

This opinion is limited to matters of Vietnam. We express no opinion with respect to the laws of any other jurisdiction. This opinion is given solely for the purpose of the Agreement and may not be used for any other purpose.
Yours faithfully, LE THANH LONG DEPUTY MINISTER OF JUSTICE SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OF VIETNAM |
