may, when it deems convenient exercise it right as antichresis creditor, taking
possession of the mortgaged farms for their administration, giving notice to the

BANK will continue with the right to exercise the antichresis in a discretional
manner and take over the administration of the farms granted in antichresis
taking possession of the same, while the execution sale is verified.------------
It is agreed that the BANK or the person it designates to manage the assessed
farms will execute all the rights that are derived in favor of the DEBTOR as
owner of the mortgaged farms, without the need for rendering account for the
mentioned management, as the DEBTOR by this means expressly releases him from
the mentioned obligations.-------- For these effects, the BANK and DEBTOR agree
that, according to that provided in article one thousand six hundred and
twenty-three (1623), of the Civil Code, if the BANK were to execute its rights
as antichresis creditor, will not be bound to respond personally for the
expenses caused by the management, maintenance and conservation of the mortgaged
rights, nor for the insurance premiums against any type of risks or for taxes or
rates that fall on the mentioned assets.-------- The BANK and DEBTOR also agree
that in this assumption, the expenses referring to the farms and that are caused
in the execution of the antichresis right, will be covered by the incomes or
fruits produced by the farm granted in first mortgage and antichresis, in the
first place and the excess will be applied to the payment of the interests and
to the amortization of the capital, in that order, according to the obligations
contracted by the DEBTOR in this public document.---------- if the fruit r
incomes that are produced by the mortgaged farms are not sufficient to cover its
expenses and the obligations contracted by the DEBTOR, the BANK may proceed by
legal means for the collection of its credit. This faculty is understood without
prejudice of the ones that the BANK possesses by virtue of the assumptions
contemplated in the clause corresponding to the anticipated expiration of the
obligations.-----------------

right to receive the indemnification, that, the insurance company should pay in
case of damage and to that effect will immediately endorse and give the BANK the
respective insurance policy or policies, as well as the corresponding
renewals.-------- This insurance will always be for the sum of no less that
EIGHTY PERCENT (80%) of the value of the betterments constructed on the
mortgaged farms.------------ The BANK reserves the right to renew the insurance
policy once it expires, canceling the amount of the premium if the DEBTOR does
not cover the same; if this happens, the DEBTOR should pay the BANK upon
request, the value of the premium or premiums and the interests corresponding to
the sum disbursed by the BANK, at the rate that was then applied to this debt,
whereby the BANK, if it so decides, capitalize the value of the premiums,
whereby they are also secured with the liens that are established in favor of
the BANK, the sums disbursed by the BANK in virtue of that provided in this
clause.----- If the DEBTOR does not comply with the obligations contracted in

El equivalente en US$1,000,000.00                        Vencimiento:__________

Yo (nosotros), PriceSmart Dominicana, S.A., por el presente documento declaro
(amos), que debo (debemos) y pagare (pagaremos solidariamente) a la orden de
BANCO NACIONAL DE CREDITO, S. A., domiciliado en la Ave. John F. Kennedy esq.
Tiradentes, Santo Domingo, Republica Dominicana la suma de UN MILLON CON
00/100 dolares moneda de curso legal de los Estados Unidos de America, suma
esta que he (hemos) recibido de dicho Banco en calidad de prestamo, a mi
(nuestra) entera satisfaccion, para financiar importaciones bajo cartas de
credito o credito de suplidor, y que me (nos) obligo (obligamos) a pagarla.

Me (nos) obligo (obligamos solidariamente) a pagarle al Banco intereses sobre
la suma adeudada a la tasa de LIBOR A SEIS MESES mas 4.25% (Cuatro punto
veinticinco porciento) anual. Esta tasa de interes podra ser aumentada o
disminuida, una o mas veces, por el Banco. Los intereses se calcularan sobre
el total de la suma del prestamo arriba mencionado, y se causaran hasta el
dia en que esta obligacion sea cancelada. Convengo (convenimos) en que los
intereses vencidos y no pagados en sus respectivas fechas se capitalizaran y
devengaran los mismos intereses fijados para el capital.

En caso de repago del total o de una parte de la indicada suma, antes de la
llegada de la fecha de vencimiento de este pagare, autorizamos al Banco, a
cobrar una comision por penalidad de un dos por ciento (2%), calculado sobre
las sumas pagadas por anticipado.

El incumplimiento de una sola mensualidad convertira este Credito en uno de
plazo vencido, pudiendose exigir inmediatamente su pago total. De igual
forma, se acelerara el vencimiento de este documento en el caso en que se
dictase mandamiento de secuestro o embargo sobre cualesquiera de mis
(nuestros) bienes, en caso de muerte de cualesquiera de nosotros,
interdiccion, convenio judicial o extrajudicial de acreedores, suspension de
pagos, insolvencia o declaratoria de quiebra contra mi (uno de nosotros), y
en fin, por incumplimiento de cualesquiera de las obligaciones que mediante
este instrumento asumo (asumimos).

Hago (hacemos) constar que el importe de este prestamo lo dedicare
(dedicaremos) a operaciones de caracter mercantil. Todos los gastos de esta
operacion, inclusive de los de cobranza judicial o extrajudicial, y honorarios
de abogados, si los hubiere, sera por mi (nuestra) cuenta exclusiva.

Hago (hacemos) constar que renuncio (renunciamos) al domicilio, al protesto,
a la presentacion de este documento, al aviso de que este ha sido
desatendido, al beneficio de division y excision, a cualquier requerimiento
exigido en caso de mora para hacer el pago, a los tramites de juicio
ejecutivo y, desde ahora, relevo (relevamos) al Banco de la obligacion de
prestar fianza en relacion con cualquier ejecucion o juicio referente a esta
obligacion.

De igual forma manifiesto (manifestamos) que conozco (conocemos) y asumo
(asumimos) todas y cada una de las obligaciones, terminos y condiciones aqui
estipuladas. En fe de lo expresado firmo (firmamos) el presente documento en
la ciudad de Santiago, Republica Dominicana, a los ____________ (_______)
dias del mes de __________ del ano _____.
