delivery of documents to tax authorities, tax withholders or third parties that by virtue of legal provision require such information, authorizing Trustee to provide to tax authorities and all other withholders that may apply in its own account

without limitation, attorneys, notaries, auditors, tax experts, appraiser agencies fees, publications, travel expenses and any other expense required for rendering of service.
Any fee that may accrue in favor of Trustee by virtue of executing the Trust Agreement or any other document related thereto or deriving therefrom may be directly paid
by Trustor from the Trust, as agreed in the Trust Agreement itself. In the event that, within a term exceeding thirty (30) calendar days as from the date the applicable payment is due Trustee has not received from Trustor amounts to cover own fees, as
applicable, Trustee will be vested with capacity to charge fees against funds available in the Trust Estate without Trustor’s prior authorization. Should the funds be not sufficient to charge Trustee fees against the Trust Estate, Trustor authorizes
Trustee not to perform with any instruction under its charge pending payment of past due and unpaid fees, without detriment of collection of default interests that may accrue.
The above amounts will accrue applicable VAT, Trustee being vested with capacity to charge them against the Trust Estate in accordance with the provisions of the
Trust’s body and will be increased annually as per the Domestic Consumer Price Index [Indice Nacional de Precios al Consumidor – INPC] as determined by Banco de Mexico.
