payable by the Lender to the Borrowers for the lease purchase. Any interruption in the payment of the rents related to the lease purchase agreement shall lead to the suspension of the reimbursement of the loan by the Borrowers. 

 
 In case of early exercise of the purchase option (call option) mentioned in Article IV-B of the lease purchase agreement, the Borrowers
herewith commit to reimburse to the Lender, the remaining capital of the loan on the date of purchase in advance. The reimbursement in advance will be carried out in compensation with the sales price of the real estate.
