In the event of failure to comply with this deadline, at the end of that period, 3 / 4 of the balance of clearing accounts corresponding to ECU 97,5 million and the value of interest still calculated at 5% p.a. on the value of the marginal credit (ECU 130 million) shall be remunerated at 10% p.a.
(b) 1 / 4 of the balance of clearing accounts, corresponding to the value of ECU 32,5 million, including interest of 5% per annum, calculated from the date of issue of the order to open this account by the Ministry of Finance of the Czech Republic to the Czechoslovak Commercial Bank, a. s., Prague to the date of its real establishment, will transfer the Czech Party in Czech crowns within 15 days of the date of signature of this agreement to the property account opened in the Czechoslovak Commercial Bank, a. s., Prague to the benefit of the Slovak Party, in the name of the National Bank of Slovakia.
