In effect of the Non-Revolving Credit Agreement, in order to secure the payment of a principal amount, contractual interest, default interest, costs, commissions and charges as well as claims for indemnity in result of the failure to perform or improper performance of the Credit Agreement, the Company is obliged to establish for the Bank a contractual mortgage up to PLN 18,536,250.00 on the Company's perpetual usufruct right to use the real property situated in Kolonowskie and on the Company's ownership of buildings and structures built on the said real property, for which rights the District Court in Strzelce Opolskie, 5th Division Land and Mortgage Register maintains Land and Mortgage Register KW No. OP1S/00040617/8.

Following the Non-Revolving Credit Agreement, a mortgage will be entered.  

The mortgage is higher than the sum equivalent to EUR 1 M expressed in PLN, calculated at the National Bank of Poland average exchange rate at the date of concluding the Agreement, and - therefore - meets the criterion required for the high value assets.
