The Promoters shall pay the taxes derived from this contract pursuant to the laws applicable.

Upon receiving the amounts paid by LSG under this contract and the Definite Contract, the Promoters shall pay taxes under the regime of business activities, and therefore, LSG shall not be obligated to withhold any amount for income tax. Otherwise, LSG shall withhold those amounts which are legally and fiscally appropriate.

Prior to paying any of the amounts stipulated in paragraph (C) of the present clause 2 (two), the Promoters shall deliver LSG the invoices meeting all the fiscal requirements transferring and detailing the added value tax to the rate applicable and sufficient proof, as deemed by LSG, that the Promoters actually pay their taxes under the regime of business activities.

The delivery of the Notice of Exercise shall obligate the Promoters to execute the Definite Contract and Mrs. Albelais and Mr. Arvizu to grant their unconditional and irrevocable consent for such purpose and shall give LSG right and action to demand and obtain such execution by the Promoters and Mrs. Albelais and Mr. Arvizu under the terms of law, this contract and the proper Notice of Exercise, notwithstanding the dispositions of paragraph (G) of this clause 2 (two).

If LSG fails to make any of the payments set forth in paragraphs (B) and (C) of this clause 2 (two), it shall be deemed they have decided not to exercise the Option and this contract has terminated in advance, with no additional responsibility or obligation whatsoever on their part (other than those established in the Environmental Law), without damage and subject to the dispositions of clause 4 (four).
