Otherwise, the Issuer's existence, powers, privileges, immunities, liabilities and operations are solely subject to and governed by the Articles of Agreement.

The voting power of each member is equal to its subscribed shares in the capital of the Issuer. Pursuant to the Articles of Agreement, the contribution of the amount initially subscribed by each founding member to the paid-in capital was to be made in dollars, in 7 instalment.
