b) | There is a recourse or appeal which, if resolved against Vitro, may invalidate this Agreement as approved by the Judge and within the fifteen (15) calendar days following the date on which the resolution approving this Agreement has become effective, the majority of the Acknowledged Creditors vote in favor of extending the Consummation Date, in which case the Closing Date shall be extended to the earlier of (A) the date in which the recourse or appeal is resolved in final and non-amendable form and (B) ten (10) months starting as of the date on which the resolution approving this Agreement becomes effective (in either case, the “Extended Closing Date”). |

of the Closing Date, then Vitro shall Consummate the Restructuring no later than the Closing Date
notwithstanding such recourse or appeal. Likewise, in the event the majority of the Acknowledged
Creditors vote in favor of extending the Closing Date, but such recourse or appeal is not resolved
before the Extended Closing Date, then Vitro shall Consummate the Restructuring within five (5)
