The GUARANTOR also expressly and unconditionally waives the assertion or alleging of any defense regarding the payment of the amounts that the CLIENT must pay BANAMEX and that is not merely personal to the CLIENT.

The GUARANTOR authorizes BANAMEX to grant the CLIENT any extension or grace period, without extinguishing the bond, as the case may be, as well as to keep it in effect if (i) this agreement is amended or new encumbrances or conditions are established, (ii) if the GUARANTOR cannot subrogate itself to the rights and privileges of BANAMEX due to the latter’s fault or negligence, (iii) due to the lack of perfection or release of the guarantee(s) granted in accordance with this agreement, (iv) due to any lack of validity or enforceability of this credit or of any other agreement or instrument related thereto, (v) due to any right to set-off claimed or filed for by the CLIENT and (v) in any other circumstance that in any other manner might represent a defense or release of the CLIENT.

 

 

This Bond will remain in effect if, at any moment and for any reason, any amount that the CLIENT delivers to BANAMEX as payment for the amounts owed in the terms of this agreement and/or the expenses in which BANAMEX incurs while demanding any of its rights pursuant to this agreement must be returned by BANAMEX for any reason as if such payment had never been made.

The GUARANTOR agrees that in the event BANAMEX assigns, discounts or transfers its rights and obligations under this agreement, the bond hereby created shall remain in full force and effect and shall be binding on the GUARANTOR before any successor in interest, assignee or acquiror.

The GUARANTOR irrevocably authorizes BANAMEX to provide to the judicial and regulatory authorities and to the persons that such authorities indicate credit information on the GUARANTOR in the terms of the “Information” clause hereof. Therefore, the GUARANTOR hereby waives legal action against BANAMEX in connection with exercising this power.

The GUARANTOR irrevocably authorizes BANAMEX to set off each and every liquid and enforceable amount for which BANAMEX is responsible in favor of the GUARANTOR in the same terms as those established in the “Set-Off” clause.

The GUARANTOR must perform all obligations assumed by the CLIENT in the “Special Obligations” clause, and, additionally, BANAMEX may declare the acceleration of the credit if the GUARANTOR incurs in any of the events described in the “Causes for Acceleration” clause, with the understanding that all references to the CLIENT provided in such clauses shall be understood as if such clauses also applied to the GUARANTOR.

SIXTEEN. PACKAGE MORTGAGE. As guarantee for the performance of each and every obligation derived from this agreement, the MORTGAGE GUARANTOR ON THE INDUSTRIAL UNIT is creating a second package mortgage in favor of BANAMEX on the complete industrial unit making up the company PARRAS CONE DE MÉXICO, SOCIEDAD ANÓNIMA DE CAPITAL VARIABLE, in the terms of article 67 (sixty-seven) of the Law of Credit Institutions.

The MORTGAGE GUARANTOR ON THE INDUSTRIAL UNIT shall comply with the obligations assumed by the CLIENT, and, additionally, BANAMEX may accelerate the payment of the credit if the MORTGAGE GUARANTOR ON THE INDUSTRIAL UNIT incurs in any of the events described in the “Causes for Acceleration” clause, with the understanding that all references to the CLIENT made in such clause shall be understood as if also made to the MORTGAGE GUARANTOR ON THE INDUSTRIAL UNIT.

In order for the properties that make up the package mortgage herein created to be maintained, the parties hereby appoint MR. JOSÉ MANUEL GONZÁLEZ LAGUNAS DEPOSITARY of such properties (the “DEPOSITARY”).

Centro, C.P. 27980, Parras, Coahuila, and must not make use of such properties or encumber them in any way, or grant their use or enjoyment to persons other than the MORTGAGE GUARANTOR ON THE INDUSTRIAL UNIT.

The DEPOSITARY accepts the position conferred, without any right to remuneration, stating that at the signature date of this agreement he is receiving to his full satisfaction the possession of the properties subject matter of the guarantee. The DEPOSITARY shall allow BANAMEX or the persons designated by BANAMEX access at any time so that they may perform inspections on the properties subject matter of the guarantee, as well as deliver such properties to BANAMEX, whenever it requires this.

BANAMEX may remove the DEPOSITARY in the event of a breach of any obligation of the CLIENT, the DEPOSITARY or the MORTGAGE GUARANTOR ON THE INDUSTRIAL UNIT.

If removed, the DEPOSITARY shall deliver, to the place of deposit and within the 48 (forty eight) hours following his removal, all the properties and documents in his custody in connection with his position to the new DEPOSITARY designated by BANAMEX.

 

 

SEVENTEEN. MORTGAGE. As guarantee for the performance of all the obligations derived from this agreement, the MORTGAGE GUARANTOR hereby creates a second mortgage in favor of BANAMEX on the property described in item V.1 (Roman numeral one) of the background chapter of this agreement.

The MORTGAGE GUARANTOR waives its rights under article 2912 (two thousand nine hundred twelve) of the Federal Civil Code and similar articles of the state (including the Federal District) where the mortgaged Morelos Property is located.

The MORTGAGE GUARANTOR shall comply with all obligations assumed by the CLIENT, and, additionally, BANAMEX may accelerate the payment of the credit if the MORTGAGE GUARANTOR becomes subject to any of the events described in the “Causes for Acceleration” clause, with the understanding that all references to the CLIENT made in such clause shall be understood as if also made to the MORTGAGE GUARANTOR.

The CLIENT shall unconditionally pay, as of the execution date and up to the due date, ordinary interest at an annual rate calculated by adding 4.00 points to the LIBOR Rate.

 

Ordinary interest shall be payable exactly on the day on which the corresponding interest period ends, with the understanding that: (i) the first interest period shall commence on the date of this promissory note's execution and shall end on the 22nd day of the following calendar month and (ii) subsequent interest periods shall commence on the day following the last day of the previous interest period and shall end on the 22nd day of the following calendar month.

 

If a payment becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day in Mexico and New York, it shall be payable on the following Business Day in Mexico and New York, at no additional cost. When, during a calendar month in which any payment must be made, there is no day that is numerically equal to the day set as the date of payment, such payment must be made on the last Business Day in Mexico and New York of the corresponding calendar month.

 

In the event of default on the full and timely payment of the principal sum set forth in this promissory note, the unpaid amount of principal shall only accrue default interest as of the due date up to the date on which it is paid in full according to the rate specified in the credit agreement related to this promissory note.

 

All of the amounts that the CLIENT must pay BANAMEX under this promissory note shall be paid without any deductions or retentions and shall be paid free of any taxes. The CLIENT shall pay all taxes and expenses related to these to ensure that BANAMEX obtains full amounts, except for the amount that BANAMEX has to pay as income tax.

The CLIENT waives all proceedings; filings; protests; and notices of the intent to accelerate the payment date, failure to pay, failure to perform and any other notice of any other kind in connection with this promissory note.
