The Loan will be granted in two parts:

2) Part II – to the amount of PLN 315 million, which can be increased up to a maximum amount of PLN 350 million, if the companies of the PKP CARGO Group do not take advantage of a credit limit up to a maximum amount of PLN 35 million.
According to the Agreement, the aforementioned credit limits will be granted by the Bank to the companies of the PKP CARGO Group on the basis of separate loan agreements to be concluded between these companies and the Bank.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Borrower may use the Loan not later than until 31 December 2016. The Borrower is obligated to repay the Loan in quarterly installments on the conditions specified in the Agreement, not later than: (i) seven years from the end of the availability period but not later than on 31 December 2023 in the case of Part I of the Loan and (ii) ten years from the end of the availability period but not later than on 31 December 2026 in the case of Part II of the Loan.
