The GUARANTOR waives the benefits of order, discussion and division under the Federal Civil Code and thus each and every one of its legal consequences. The parties acknowledge that the expiration and the statute of limitations of the bond are not applicable in the event BANAMEX does not judicially sue the BORROWER for breach of the main obligation within the month following the expiration of the deadline, or once the  senior debt becomes payable the GUARANTOR asks BANAMEX to bring legal action within one month the performance of the obligation and BANAMEX does not exercise its rights within the aforementioned time period, or if the trial already started in either case, no legal action is brought forth  without good cause for more than three months.

 

The GUARANTOR also expressly and unconditionally waives to oppose any plea in discharge regarding payment of the amounts payable by the BORROWER to BANAMEX and that does not merely result as personal by the BORROWER.

The bond shall continue until everything owed to BANAMEX is covered regarding obligations assumed by the BORROWER herein, including accessories and other legal consequences, even if: (i) the GUARANTOR cannot be subrogated to the rights and privileges of BANAMEX due to fault or negligence of the latter, (ii) an extension or waiting period is granted to the BORROWER without the consent of the GUARANTOR, and / or (iii) BANAMEX releases the BORROWER and the main obligation is subject to new liens or conditions.

The GUARANTOR agrees that in the event BANAMEX assigns, discounts or transmits the rights and obligations in its favor arising herefrom, the Bond established herein shall remain in full force and effect and will be binding to the GUARANTOR, vis-a-vis any successor, assignee or acquirer.

The GUARANTOR irrevocably authorizes BANAMEX to provide judicial and regulatory authorities and the individuals that the latter designate, credit information about the GUARANTOR under the terms of the clause of "Information" hereof, therefore the GUARANTOR waives its right of legal action against BANAMEX, derived from the exercise of this power.

The Guarantor irrevocably authorizes BANAMEX to set off each and every one of the amounts due and payable in charge of BANAMEX and in favor of the GUARANTOR under the same terms provided for in the clause of "Setoff."

  

  

  

 

The GUARANTOR shall comply with all obligations assumed by the BORROWER in the clause of "Special Obligations" and additionally the BORROWER shall rediscount at BANAMEX’ request the Creditor’s Rights, if the GUARANTOR incurred in any of the cases referred to in the clause of "Causes of Rediscount" in the understanding that all references to the BORROWER contained in such clauses shall be construed as if they were made also in respect of the GUARANTOR.

Since this best suits their interests and based on article 2794 and other applicable provisions of the Civil Code for the Federal District and correlative articles in the rest of the States of the United Mexican States, the BORROWER agrees to act as Guarantor in favor of BANAMEX to guarantee the timely payment of each and every one of the payment obligations assumed by the Debtor derived from the Creditor’s Rights assigned, obligating itself to pay any pending amounts precisely on the terms provided in the clause “Consideration”.

The BORROWER in its capacity Guarantor hereby waives to order, discussion and division benefits established in articles 2813, 2814, 2815, 2822, 2823, 2842, 2844, 2845, 2846, 2847, 2848 and 2849 of the Civil Code for the Federal District, its and correlative articles in the rest of the States of the United Mexican States and therefore to each and every one of its legal consequences. Therefore, the parties acknowledge that the expiration and prescription of the bond in the event BANAMEX do not judicially require the BORROWER or the Debtor for the non-compliance of the principal obligation during the following month the term expires, or at the moment the principal obligation is enforceable, the Guarantor request BANAMEX to judicially promote during the term of one month the fulfillment of the principal obligation and BANAMEX do not exercise its rights during such term, or in the event the suit begins in such or other event, ceases its promotion without justified cause for more than three months.

The BORROWER in its capacity as Guarantor hereby waives in an unconditional and express way to oppose or argue any payment exception in the amounts that the DEBTOR shall pay to BANAMEX and which are not merely personal for the DEBTOR.

The BORROWER in its capacity as Guarantor hereby authorizes BANAMEX to grant the Debtor any renewal or delay, without extinguishing the bond, as well as if it exists in the event that (i) this agreement is amended or new encumbrances or conditions are established, (ii) that the Guarantor may not be subleased in the rights and privileges of BANAMEX for its fault or negligence, (iii) any lack of force or enforceability herein, or any other agreement or instrument related thereto, (iv) any compensation right which may demand or interpose BANAMEX, and (v) any other circumstance which may constitute other exception or release of the Debtor.

This Bond will subsist at any moment and by any cause, if any amount that the Debtor delivered to BANAMEX as payment of the debt amounts in terms of the assignment of Creditor’s Rights and/or and/or the expenses in which BANAMEX incurs to enforce any of its rights pursuant to this agreement, shall be returned by BANAMEX by any cause, the above as if such payment has never been performed.

The parties agree that BANAMEX is authorized to transmit the obligations it is in charge of.
