(c) Taxes, Liens, and Claims of Lien. Pay and discharge when due and before they become delinquent any Founder Developer indebtedness and obligations of every kind and nature, including, without limitation, all taxes, assessments, governmental charges, levies, and claims (including all claims for labor done and materials and services furnished in connection with the Project) that, if not paid, are or might become a lien, claim of lien, or charge upon all or any portion of the Real Property or any attached Mineral Rights and/or Mineral Interest other than Exist Crypto AVEC, Founder Developer shall (i) cause all such claims to be fully paid and discharged in a timely manner; (ii) diligently file or procure the filing of a valid notice of completion of the Improvements, or such comparable document(s) as may be permitted under applicable lien laws; (iii) diligently file or procure the filing of a notice of cessation, or such comparable document(s) as may be permitted under applicable lien laws, if there is a cessation of labor on the Project for a continuous period of thirty (30) days or more; and (iv) take all steps necessary to remove or satisfy all liens and claims of lien arising from such claims.
