4. If a member has not reached an agreement with the Fund within the three-month period covered in paragraph 3 above, the Fund uses the currencies of other members assigned to that member in accordance with paragraph 2 (d) to repay the member`s currency which is allocated to other members. Any currency awarded to a member who has not reached an agreement is used, as far as possible, to exchange currency allocated to members who have entered into agreements with the Fund under 3. 5. When a member has reached an agreement with the Fund covered in point 3, the Fund uses the currencies of other members assigned to that member in accordance with point 2 (d) to pay the member`s currency, the other members who have entered into agreements with the Fund under 3, under 3. Each amount thus collected is cashed in the currency of the member to whom it has been allocated. In addition to the obligations arising from other provisions of this agreement, each member assumes the obligations under this article. Notwithstanding the provisions of other articles of this agreement, a member who informed the Fund that he was considering the use of transitional provisions under this provision may maintain restrictions on payments and transfers of ongoing international transactions as of the date of entry into the agreement and adapt to changing circumstances. However, in their exchange rate policy, members are constantly attentive to the Fund`s objectives and, as soon as conditions permit, they take all possible steps to develop trade and financial agreements with other members facilitating international payments and promoting a stable exchange rate system.

In particular, members remove the restrictions in this section as soon as they are satisfied that, in the absence of such restrictions, they will be able to pay their balance of payments in a manner that does not place undue pressure on their access to the Fund`s general resources. In addition to commitments made with respect to special drawing rights arising from other articles of this agreement, each participant undertakes to cooperate with the Fund and other participants to ensure the proper functioning of the Underwriting Rights Department and the correct use of special drawing rights in accordance with this agreement and to make the Special Drawing Right the main reserve asset of the international monetary system.
