antes del (a) 1 de diciembre de 2005 o (b) en la fecha del pago final,


Explanation:
antes del (a) 1 de diciembre de 2005 o (b) en la fecha del pago final, o la fecha que ocurra primero de las dos, según lo acordado por las partes.

El "earlier" denota una comparación entre ambas fechas en el sentido de la fecha que ocurra primero entre las dos. Como si dijésemos, "Paquito, estás de vuelta en casa cuanto antes, a las siete a más tardar o tan pronto como termine tu clase de violín".

Gratas horas,

V
