INVITATION FOR BIDS

Payment by CDB will be made only at the request of GOCD and upon approval by CDB, and will be subject, in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Financing Agreement.

No party other than GOCD shall derive any rights from the Financing Agreement or have any claim to the proceeds of the Financing.
