3. In each "FACTORING AGREEMENT" there must be established the base

as margin guarantee or acquisition buffer which takes place on the

SEVENTH:- PRICE. As collateral for `THE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE" that "THE CUSTOMER"
will transfer to "THE FACTOR", the latter will pay within the following 3 -
three working days from the date of the signing of the respective "FACTORING
AGREEMENT" , a sum equal to the nominal value of "THE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE" minus
the respective APPRAISAL, that forms part of the price but that is retained as
margin guarantee, less a discount, which will be calculated according to the
application of the following formula:
(PxTD)
D = ---------ND
(360)
Where:
"D" Means discount.
"P" Means the value resulting from taking away the corresponding APPRAISAL
value from the base price.
"ND" Means the number of days that result from adding, the calendar days from
and including the date on which the base price is given to "THE CUSTOMER",
respect for an acquired RIGHT OF CREDIT, up to and including the expiry
date of the aforesaid RIGHT OF CREDIT.
"TD" Means the rate of discount expressed in annual percentage.
A. For the purposes of this Contract and of the "FACTORING AGREEMENTS", it is
to be understood by:
1) "CPP" the Average Percentile Cost of Capture which the Bank of
Mexico publishes in the Official Newspaper of the Federation.
2) "CETES" the rate of return of Federation Treasury Certificates with
a term of 28 - twenty eight days.
3) "TIIP" the Average Cross Banks Rate of Interest which the Bank of
Mexico publishes in the Official Newspaper of the Federation.
4) "TIIE" the Balance Rate of Interest at a term of 28 - twenty eight
days, or the alternative term to this, which the Bank of Mexico
releases every bank working day by publishing it in the Official
Newspaper of the Federation in keeping with circular 2019/95 and its
amendments of February 29-twenty ninth, 1996- one thousand nine
hundred and ninety six.
5) "TASA LIDER" the better rate between the "CPP" or the "CTES" or the
"TIP" or the "TIIE" according to what is indicated in the
definitions established in points 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively of
this article, bearing in mind the variations that any of the above
rates may suffer on any date whatsoever.
To calculate the "rate of discount" take the annual rate that results from
multiplying 1.12 (ONE POINT ONE TWO) the "THE" of the moment nearest to
the date of transfer of "THE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE", calculated in relation
to the number of days that have transpired between the date on which the
partial payment is received and the "expiry date". The "rate of discount"
applicable, to which this paragraph refers, has a lower limit or minimum
bottom rate determined by the bottom rate plus 2 (TWO) points.
B. In cases where "THE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE" are found to be in the monetary
denominations of dollars legal currency of the United States of America,
the collateral of their transfer can be covered in that currency or what
is established in the eighth clause of this Contract. In such a case the
parties agree that the calculation of the rate of discount will be
determined in the following manner:
If the amount of the credit were to be financed with "THE FACTOR'S" own
resources, and it is in United States of American dollars, the annual rate
that results form adding 2.3 (TWO POINT THREE) percentile points to the
London Interbank Rate [LIBOR] plus tax, will be taken as the base, in
operations of three months for the United States of American dollar,
quoted on the international market and that the Bank of Mexico publishes
in its International Memorandum, to the Credit Institutions, or of the
rate that happens to be substituted for it, current at the moment nearest
to the date of transfer of "THE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE", calculated in
relation to the number of days transpired between the date on which
partial payment is received and the "expiry date".
C. "THE FACTOR" and "THE CUSTOMER" can come to an agreement in the "FACTORING
AGREEMENTS" on a "discount rate" different to that which results from
applying the above paragraphs, in conformity with the definitions given in
articles A) and B) of this clause, on the understanding that, if no
agreement is reached in the aforementioned "FACTORING AGREEMENTS" on the
"discount rate", it will be inferred that this will be established
according to what is stipulated in articles A) and B) above respectively.
D. "THE FACTOR" and "THE CUSTOMER" can come to an agreement on the "FACTORING
AGREEMENTS" that the discount may be paid according to the following
options:
Factor Bonarte 4
1) That the discount be paid at the moment that "THE FACTOR" effects
payment of the price of "THE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE" transferred by
virtue of the respective "FACTORING AGREEMENT", subtracting the sum
corresponding to the discount of the nominal value of "THE ACCOUNTS
RECEIVABLE". In this case, for the purposes of calculating the
discount the rate(s) or index(indices) nearest to the date of
application of the note, that defines the "rate of discount", will
be taken into account, according to what is agreed in articles A)
and B) of this clause.
2) That "THE CUSTOMER" shall pay the discount monthly in arrears, where
the number of days "ND" will be calculated by monthly in arrears. In
this case, for the purposes of the calculation of the discount,
account will be taken of the rate(s) or index(s) that define the
"rate of discount" in force during the period that includes the
calculation.
3) That "THE CUSTOMER" shall cover the discount on the "due date" of
"THE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE" sent to "THE FACTOR". In this case, for
the purposes of the calculation of the discount, account will be
taken of the rate(s) or index(s) that define the "rate of discount"
that were in force from the date that "THE FACTOR" makes the payment
of the price in "THE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE" until the "due date"
thereof.
E) "THE FACTOR" may adjust the "rate of discount" and, therefore, the
definitive price given above, on the due date of "THE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE"
automatically and without the need for a subsequent agreement with "THE
CUSTOMER". The adjustment will be made according to how the rate(s) or the
index(es) that define the "rate of discount" have altered, as agreed in
sections A) and B) of this clause, during the period between the date that
"THE FACTOR" paid "THE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE" until the "due date" thereof.
F) The "rate of discount" will be calculated on the basis of a 360 days year.
G) If for any reason "THE FACTOR" does not calculate the discount as laid
down in this Clause, the parties agree that "THE FACTOR" is authorized to
make the necessary modifications or adjustments retroactively with respect
to the moment when the incorrect calculation of the discount was made.
H) The parties agree that certification by "THE FACTOR'S" accountant will be
done in faith, unless proved to the contrary, with respect to the amount
of the "rate of discount" or of the base rate that will be applied in
order to calculate the discount.
I) "THE FACTOR" and "THE CUSTOMER" may agree in the "FACTORING AGREEMENTS"
that the price for "THE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE" transferred be paid on
different dates. In these cases the discount will be calculated for each
partial payment on the basis a the formula mentioned and the "rate of
discount" agreed, in which case "P" will be the amount of the percentage
of the base price that it has been agreed to pay on the date in question
and the number of days "ND" will be calculated from and including the date
that the partial payment in question is paid, up to and including the "due
date" of "THE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE".
J) Both parties agree that if "THE CUSTOMER" does not pay "THE FACTOR" the
discount on any of the dates agreed in the previous paragraphs, the
respective amount will earn interest at the moratorium rate agreed in
Clause Eleven of this Contract for the period between the date that "THE
CUSTOMER" should verify the payment of the discount and the date that it
was actually made, in accordance with the provisions of Article 363 -
three hundred and seventy three of the Commercial Code.
EIGHT:- FORM OF PAYMENT OF THE RIGHTS OF CREDIT TRANSFERRED OF THE PARTIAL
PAYMENTS AND OF THE DISCOUNT.- The payment of any amount that should be covered
by the parties between themselves, in US dollars in accordance with this
Contract and the Factoring Agreements that they sign in support thereof, will be
made at the selling rate of exchange published by the Banco de Mexico in the
Official Bulletin of the Federation, on the bank working day immediately prior
to that on which the payment is made; or at the rate of exchange that takes its
place.
NINE:- CONVERSION TO NATIONAL CURRENCY.- In the event that "THE FACTOR" demands
from "THE CUSTOMER" the rescission or compulsory compliance of this Contract or
of the "FACTORING AGREEMENTS", under the terms of clauses twenty one and twenty
two of this Contract, "THE FACTOR" may convert the unsatisfied balance owed to
"THE CUSTOMER", into its equivalent in National currency, using the selling rate
of exchange of US dollars published by the Banco de Mexico in the Official
Bulletin of the Federation, on the bank working day immediately prior to the day
that such balance is converted, or at the rate of exchange that takes its place.
In this case the respective balance will attract late payment interest, from the
date of conversion until that the balance owed is effectively paid, at the rate
that results from multiplying by 2.0-two point zero, the annual rate that
results from multiplying by 1.12 (ONE POINT ONE TWO) at the Interbank
Equilibrium Interest Rate (IEIR) published by the Banco de Mexico in the
Official Bulletin of the Federation, from the moment nearest to the date of
application of the rate. The latest rate will be calculated on the basis of a
360 days year.
Factor Bonarte 5
TEN:- DELIVERY OF THE ASSESSMENT.- "THE FACTOR" will deliver to "THE CUSTOMER"
the amount corresponding to the percentage of the margin of guarantee of
assessment, that forms part of the price for the transfer of "THE ACCOUNTS
RECEIVABLE", within 48 hours forty eight hours of the moment that "THE FACTOR"
receives from "THE DEBTOR" the full payment of "THE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE"
transferred under this Contract by "THE CUSTOMER" to "THE FACTOR", and the
amount thereof is paid definitively into "THE FACTOR'S" account on the
understanding that if "THE DEBTOR" does not pay the amount of the said "ACCOUNTS
RECEIVABLE" punctually and opportunely, "THE FACTOR" may be compensated from the
margin of guarantee for the amount of any costs, taxes and interest generated by
such late payment as established in this Contract and in Articles 2,185 - two
thousand one hundred and eighty five and 2,186 - two thousand one hundred and
eighty six of the Civil Code for the Federal District and the correlative
articles in the Civil Ordinances of the Federal Institutions of the Republic of
Mexico. If the amount of the costs, taxes and interest generated as a result of
the late payment of "THE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE" acquired exceeds the amount
retained, as a margin of guarantee, "THE CUSTOMER" must pay "THE FACTOR" the
difference that results from subtracting such amount from the amount of the
margin of guarantee retained and compensated by "THE FACTOR" pursuant to Article
2,191 - two thousand one hundred and ninety one of the said Civil Code.
ELEVEN- LATE PAYMENT.- In the event case of late payment by "THE DEBTOR(S)" of
"THE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE" transferred and where "THE FACTOR" has agreed partial
payments, "THE CUSTOMER" will pay a daily interest equivalent to 100% (ONE
HUNDRED PERCENT), in addition to the "rate of discount", calculated under the
terms of Clause Seven above, applying this percentage on the amount of the
partial payments from the "due date" until that "THE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE" are
effectively paid.
TWELVE:- ADVANCE PAYMENTS ON ORDERS.- "THE FACTOR" may deliver, at the request
of "THE CUSTOMER", advance payments on rights of credit that will subsequently
be transferred to "THE FACTOR" that will arise from of the existence of orders
by "THE DEBTOR(S)" in accordance with the following:
1. When "THE CUSTOMER" requests an advance payment, he must provide
