Schedule-13

Section 4 of Article 19 of the Fund Amendment
Article 19, Section 4 28 Obligation to provide currency : A participant designated by the Fund under Section 5 of this Article shall provide on demand a freely usable currency 29 to a participant using special drawing rights under Section 2 (a) of this Article. A participant’s obligation to provide currency shall not extend beyond the point at which its holdings of special drawing rights in excess of its net cumulative allocation are equal to twice its net cumulative allocation or such higher limit as may be agreed between a participant and the Fund. A participant may provide currency in excess of the obligatory limit or any agreed higher limit.

Article 19, Section 5 30 Designation of participants to provide currency : (a) The Fund shall ensure that a participant will be able to use its special drawing rights by designating participants to provide currency for specified amounts of special drawing rights for the purposes of Sections 2(a) and 4 of this Article. Designations shall be made in accordance with the following general principles supplemented by such other principles as the Fund may adopt from time to time:

(1) A participant shall be subject to designation if its balance of payments and gross reserve position is sufficiently strong, but this will not preclude the possibility that a participant with a strong reserve position will be designated even though it has a moderate balance of payments deficit. Participants shall be designated in such manner as will promote over time a balanced distribution of holdings of special drawing rights among them.
(2) Participants shall be subject to designation in order to promote reconstitution under Section 6(a) of this Article, to reduce negative balances in holdings of special drawing rights, or to offset the effect of failures to fulfill the expectation in Section 3(a) of this Article.
(3) In designating participants, the Fund normally shall give priority to those that need to acquire special drawing rights to meet the objectives of designation under (2) above.
(b) In order to promote over time a balanced distribution of holdings of special drawing rights under (a)(1) above, the Fund shall apply the rules for designation in Schedule F or such rules as may be adopted under (c) below.
(c) The rules for designation may be reviewed at any time and new rules shall be adopted if necessary. Unless new rules are adopted, the rules in force at the time of the review shall continue to apply.

Article 19, Section 2(a) 31 Operations and transactions between member states : A member state shall be entitled to use its special drawing rights to obtain an equivalent amount of currency from a participant designated under Section 5 of this Article
