Moreover, the parties leave on record that the proposal of the Offerers to sell, assign and transfer to LUMINA the NSR agreed upon in the present clause, according to the terms and conditions already stipulated, is a sole, exclusive and preferential right assisting LUMINA; therefore, during the life of the present Contract and subject to the exercise of the option referred in Clause Three hereunder, the Offerers shall not sell, assign or transfer to third parties and/or related persons and/or to their respective shareholders, and to all or part of the NSR stipulated in Clause Nine without the prior written consent of LUMINA, that can not be refused without a fair cause and the transferees shall first undertake to comply with all the obligations contemplated in this Purchase Option granted by the Offerers to LUMINA in Clause Ten.

The parties also leave on record that in the event this Contract is terminated by virtue of the provisions of Clause Seven, LUMINA sole, exclusive and preferential right to acquire the NSR from the Offerers shall terminate according to law and shall cease to produce legal effects from the very instant in which the present Contract terminates.
