Clause XVI In the event that, upon the expiration of each twelve-month period of this agreement, calculated from the date of its execution, and again six months before its expiration, the Foundation deems that the funds, which it has set aside as "Administrative Funds of the Foundation", will be more than are needed for that purpose for the entire period of the program, the Foundation will thereupon advise the Superintendent of the CBAR of the surplus which it can accordingly make available for projects, and such additional sums shall be paid into the bank account of the CBAR or shall be otherwise disposed of pursuant to this Agreement. Clause XVII All the funds introduced into Brazil by the Foundation for the pur- poses of the cooperative educational program shall be exempt from all taxes, service charges, investment or deposit requirements and other currency controls, and shall be converted into Cruzeiros at the most favorable rate of exchange which the Government of Brazil or any of its Agencies or any Brazilian bank concedes to the Govern- ment of Brazil or to any of its Departments or to any other Nation, organization, or individual.

Clause XVIII The Government of Brazil accepts and recognizes the Foundation as a corporate agency of the Government of the United States of America, having juridic personality, and, accordingly, the Foundation shall be exempt and immune from, among other things, any and all taxes, fees, charges, imposts, and custom duties, whether national, state, provincial or municipal, and from all requirements for licenses. The personnel of the Foundation who are citizens of the United States of America shall be exempt from all Brazilian income taxes and social security taxes with respect to the income on which they are obliged to pay income taxes or social security taxes in the United States of America.
