the Fund for the appearance at the public hearing of two representatives, and for the presentation of a maximum of three statements and one expert opinion. 367. The State was able to present its observations on the disbursements made in this case, which amounted to US$8,543.06 (eight thousand five hundred and fortythree United States dollars and six cents). In this regard, the State indicated that it trusted that, when the dispute had been decided, the Court would recognize to the party who prevailed the right to reimbursement of any expenses that it might have incurred as a result of the proceedings; however, should the Court find that the parties had reasonable grounds for litigating, it trusted that they would be exempt from such payment. Therefore, in application of Article 5 of the Rules for the Operation of the Fund, the Court must evaluate whether it is appropriate to order the respondent State to reimburse the disbursements made from the Legal Assistance Fund in this case. 368. Based on the violations declared in this judgment and that the requirements to access the Fund were met, the Court orders the State to reimburse the said Fund the sum of US$8,543.06 (eight thousand five hundred and forty-three United States dollars and six cents) for the expenses incurred. This amount must be reimbursed to the Inter-American Court within 90 days of notification of this judgment. J. Method of compliance with the payments ordered 369. The State must comply with its pecuniary obligations by payment in lempiras or the equivalent in Unites States dollars, using the exchange rate in force on the New York Stock Exchange (United States of America) the day before the payment to make the respective calculation. If, for reasons that can be attributed to the beneficiaries of reimbursements or their heirs, it is not possible to pay the amounts established within the indicated time frame, the State shall deposit those amounts in their favor in a deposit account or certificate in a solvent Honduran financial institution, in United States dollars, and under the most favorable financial conditions allowed by banking law and practice. If the corresponding amounts are not claimed, after 10 years, the amounts shall be returned to the State with the interest accrued. 370. The amounts allocated in this judgment to reimburse costs and expenses shall be delivered to the representatives in full, as established in this judgment, without any deductions arising from possible taxes or charges. 371. If the State should fall in arrears with regard to the Community Development Fund, the payment of costs and expenses or the reimbursement of the expenses to the Victims' Legal Assistance Fund, it shall pay interest on the amount owed corresponding to banking interest on arrears in the Republic of Honduras.
