Dear Sirs,
To round out the movable property leasing contract executed today, and to clear
up some points that you have enquired about, we hereby inform you of the
following:
ONE. Obviously everything laid down as special terms in this contract, due to
their special nature, overrides anything laid down as general terms thereof. In
each case, therefore, the special terms will take precedence over the general
terms.
TWO. With reference to the provisions laid down in general term 5 e) of the
contract, we inform you that LEASING CATALUNYA EFC SA is in all cases bound to
give a minimum notice of 20 days.
THREE. With reference to the provisions laid down in general term 6, we also
inform you that in the event of a failure to pay any of the contractual
installments, you will be given a grace period of thirty days to pay same,
incurring the corresponding expenses and delayed payment interest. Only after
this time has elapsed without the late payment being forthcoming will the
procedure laid down in sections b) and c) come into effect. This in no way
entails a novation or modification or specific modification of such powers.
FOUR. In reference both to the special term 6.3. and the general term 8 hereof,
it is hereby established that LEASING CATALUNYA EFC S.A. will be entitled to
allow subrogation into its legal position only with the express authorization of
the financial lessee, and on condition that the latter has faithfully complied
with all its contractual obligations.
In witness whereof, for such purposes as it may serve, we hereby sign this on
the date and in the place indicated at the head thereof.
LEASING CATALUNYA EFC SA.
