All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in Dollars.

(c) Subject to the terms of the Master Collateral and Intercreditor Agreement (including Sections 5.01 and 5.02 thereof), if any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this subsection shall not apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this subsection shall apply). Subject to the terms of the Master Collateral and Intercreditor Agreement (including Sections 5.01 and 5.02 thereof), the Borrower consents to the foregoing

and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless, before the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of one or more Lender Parties hereunder, the Administrative Agent receives from the Borrower notice that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance on such assumption, distribute to each relevant Lender Party the amount due to it. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, each Lender Party severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender Party with interest thereon, for each day from and including the day such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the day it repays the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Lender fails to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.11(d), 4.02 or Section 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.12. Lender’s Obligation to Mitigate. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.09, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.14, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment Error! Bookmark not defined. would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.09 or Section 5.14, as the case may be, in the future, Error! Bookmark not defined. would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense (unless the Borrower agrees to reimburse such Lender for any such costs and expenses) and Error! Bookmark not defined. would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

Section 2.13. Judgment Currency. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from the Borrower under any Loan Document in the currency expressed to be payable in such Loan Document (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s

New York City office at 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, the Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (i) the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, and (ii) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 2.11, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower.

Section 3.17. Disclosure. The Information Memorandum, as supplemented and updated by other information provided by the Borrower to the Lenders in writing prior the Amendment Effective Date electronically or otherwise, all taken as a whole, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to any projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based on assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

Section 3.18. Pari Passu Status. The obligations of each Credit Party under the Loan Documents constitute direct and unconditional obligations of such Credit Party

Section 3.19. Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.19 sets forth the name of, and the ownership interest of the Borrower in, each of its Subsidiaries and identifies each Subsidiary that is a Guarantor, in each case as of the Amendment Effective Date.

Section 3.22. Legal Form. (a) Each of the Loan Documents is in proper legal form under all applicable laws for the enforcement thereof in accordance with their respective terms against the parties thereto under such laws. To ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility into evidence of the Loan Documents, it is not necessary that any of such Loan Documents or any other document be filed or recorded with any applicable Governmental Authority (other than registration of the Mexican Collateral Documents with the corresponding public registry of Mexico) or that any stamp or similar tax (other than registration fees and local taxes in the State of Jalisco,

Mexico, for recordation of a mortgage in such jurisdiction) be paid on or in respect of this Agreement or any Note, or any other such document, except that in the event that any legal proceedings with respect to any Loan Document are brought in the courts of Mexico, a Spanish translation of the documents required in such proceedings prepared by a Mexican court-approved translator would have to be approved by the court after the defendant had been given an opportunity to be heard with respect to the accuracy of such translation, and the proceedings would thereafter be based upon the translated documents. Any judgment against the Borrower obtained in a non-Mexican state or federal court to which the Borrower is submitting pursuant to Section 9.09(b) hereof (other than judgments on the Mexican Collateral Documents) is capable of being enforced in the courts of Mexico, subject to the satisfaction of all applicable procedural requirements.

(b) Neither the Borrower nor any of its property has any immunity on the ground of sovereignty or otherwise, from the jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) under any applicable laws in respect of the obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents or from the execution or enforcement of any judgment resulting therefrom, and if the Borrower or any of its revenues, assets or properties should become entitled to any such right of immunity, the Borrower has effectively waived such right pursuant to Section 9.09(e).

(c) It is not necessary in order for any Lender Party to enforce any of its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents or solely by reason of the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Loan Documents, that any Lender Party be licensed or qualified with any Mexican Governmental Authority or be entitled to carry on business in any jurisdiction.

(d) Any certificate signed by any officer of the Borrower and delivered to the Administrative Agent (or its counsel) in connection with the Loans and this Agreement shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Borrower, as to matters covered thereby, to each Lender.

As soon as practicable following the Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower shall reimburse each Assignor under the Assumption and Assignment in accordance with Section 2.10 for any funding losses incurred in connection with its assignment of a Loan or portion thereof on the Amendment Effective Date as if such Loan or portion thereof had been prepaid on the Amendment Effective Date. Each Lender (including solely for this purpose, any Terminating Lender, as defined in the Assignment and Assumption) that received a Note under the Original Loan Agreement (an "Original Note") and did not exchange its Original Note for a new Note (a “New Note”) issued under the Loan Agreement as in effect immediately after the Amendment Effective Date shall use reasonable efforts to promptly deliver to the Borrower its Original Note, but only subject to, in the case of any such delivering Lender that is not a Terminating Lender, receipt by such Lender of a New Note in such Lender's

name duly executed by the Borrower.

(iii) (x) in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described above, the Borrower, in its sole discretion, will classify such item of Indebtedness at the time of Incurrence and only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of the above clauses and (y) an item of Indebtedness may be divided and classified in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described above; and

(iv) the maximum amount that the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary may Incur pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to outstanding Indebtedness, due solely to the result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies.

The Borrower will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary other than a Guarantor to Guarantee any Indebtedness of the Borrower or another Restricted Subsidiary or to secure any Indebtedness of the Borrower or another Restricted Subsidiary with a Lien on the assets of such Restricted Subsidiary, unless contemporaneously therewith (or prior thereto) effective provision is made to Guarantee or secure the Loans, as the case may be, on an equal and ratable basis with such Guarantee or Lien for so long as such Guarantee or Lien remains effective, and in an amount at least equal to the amount of Borrower or other Restricted Subsidiary Indebtedness so Guaranteed or secured; provided, however, that any Guarantee by any such Restricted Subsidiary of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor will be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the contemporaneous Guarantee of the Loans by such Restricted Subsidiary; and provided further, that the Borrower will not permit a Restricted Subsidiary to Guarantee or secure any Capital Stock of the Borrower or another Restricted Subsidiary.

Section 5.05. Limitation on Restricted Payments. Subject to the terms described in this Section 5.05, the Borrower will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, take any of the following actions (each, a “Restricted Payment”):

(a) declare or pay any dividend or return of capital or make any distribution on or in respect of shares of Capital Stock of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to holders of such Capital Stock, other than:

(c) make any principal payment on, purchase, defease, redeem, prepay, decrease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, prior to any scheduled final maturity, scheduled repayment or scheduled sinking fund payment, as the case may be, any Subordinated Indebtedness; or

(d) make any Investment (other than Permitted Investments);

if at the time of the Restricted Payment and immediately after giving effect thereto:

(1) a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and be continuing;

(2) the Borrower is not able to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 5.03(a);

(3) the aggregate amount (the amount expended for these purposes, if other than in cash, being the Fair

Market Value of the relevant property) of the proposed Restricted Payment and all other Restricted

Payments made subsequent to the Original Effective Date up to the date thereof, less any

Investment Return calculated as of the date thereof, shall exceed the sum of (without duplication):

(A) 50% of cumulative Consolidated Net Income of the Borrower or, if cumulative Consolidated Net Income of the Borrower is a loss, minus 50% of the loss, accrued during the period, treated as one accounting period, beginning on the first full fiscal quarter after the Original Effective Date to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which consolidated financial information of the Borrower is available; plus

(B) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Borrower from any Person from any:

contribution to the equity capital of the Borrower (not representing an interest in
Disqualified Capital Stock) or issuance and sale of Qualified Capital Stock of the
orrower, in each case, subsequent to the Original Effective Date, or

  issuance and sale subsequent to the Original Effective Date (and, in the case of
    Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary, at such time as it was a Restricted Subsidiary)
    of any Indebtedness for borrowed money of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary
     that has been converted into or exchanged for Qualified Capital Stock of the Borrower,

excluding, in each case, any net cash proceeds:

(w) received from a Subsidiary of the Borrower;

(x) used to redeem Notes under “—Redemption—Optional Redemption Upon Public Equity Offerings” in Exhibit A of the Indenture; or

(y) applied in accordance with clause (4) or (5) of the second paragraph of this covenant below.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, this Section 5.05 does not prohibit:

(1) any dividend or other distribution in respect of Capital Stock of the Borrower while it is a Vitro Restricted Subsidiary either:

(a) payable solely in shares of common stock of the Borrower; or

(b) if:

(i) the making of such Restricted Payment would not result in an Event of Default; and

(ii) at the time of such Restricted Payment and immediately after giving effect thereto, the Borrower Debt to EBITDA Ratio is less than or equal to 2.0 to 1.0;

(2) any loan or advance to Vitro or any Vitro Restricted Subsidiary;

(3) the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration of such dividend if the
dividend would have been permitted on the date of declaration pursuant to the preceding paragraph;

(4) if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and be continuing, the acquisition of any shares of
Capital Stock of the Borrower,

(x) in exchange for Qualified Capital Stock of the Borrower; or

   (y)     through the application of the net cash proceeds received by the Borrower from a
                substantially concurrent sale of Qualified Capital Stock of the Borrower or a contribution to the
        equity capital of the Borrower not representing an interest in Disqualified Capital Stock, in each
                 case not received from a Subsidiary of the Borrower;

provided, that the value of any such Qualified Capital Stock issued in exchange for such acquired Capital Stock and any such net cash proceeds will be excluded from clause (3)(B) of the first paragraph of this Section 5.05 (and were not included therein at any time); or

      (5)  if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the voluntary prepayment,
         purchase, defeasance, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Subordinated
         Indebtedness solely in exchange for, or through the application of net cash proceeds of a
         substantially concurrent sale, other than to a Subsidiary of the Borrower, of:

(x) Qualified Capital Stock of the Borrower; or

(y) Refinancing Indebtedness for such Subordinated Indebtedness;

provided, that the value of any Qualified Capital Stock issued in exchange for Subordinated Indebtedness and any net cash proceeds referred to above will be excluded from clause (3)(B) of the first paragraph of this Section 5.05 (and were not included therein at any time).

In determining the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments made subsequent to the Original Effective Date, amounts expended pursuant to clause (1), (2) (to the extent such loans and advances are not repaid) or (3) (without duplication for the declaration of the relevant dividend) above will be included in such calculation and amounts expended pursuant to clauses (2) (to the extent such loans and advances are repaid), (3) and (4) above will not be included in such calculation.

Section 1.02. Limitation on Asset Sales.

(a) Asset Sales. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(i) the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(ii) at least 80% of the consideration received for the assets sold by the Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in the Asset Sale will be in the form of

(A) cash, Cash Equivalents or the assumption of Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness owed to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or any Subordinated Indebtedness);

(B) property or assets (other than current assets as determined in accordance with Mexican GAAP, except for current assets acquired incidental to the acquisition of assets that constitute a line of business, or Capital Stock) to be owned by and used in a Permitted Business of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary; or

(C) Capital Stock of (i) one or more Persons engaged in a Permitted Business (except as otherwise permitted by Section 5.15) which thereby become Restricted Subsidiaries, or (ii) a Restricted Subsidiary, in each case which Capital Stock was acquired from a third party other than the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary (Clauses (B) and (C), together, “Replacement Assets”), in each case received at the time of such Asset Sale.

The Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may apply the Net Cash Proceeds of any such Asset Sale within 360 days thereof to (i) repay any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary for borrowed money or constituting a Capitalized Lease Obligation (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) and permanently reduce the commitments with respect thereto without Refinancing or (ii) purchase Replacement Assets from a Person other than the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries.

(b) Collateral Asset Sales. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, consummate a Collateral Asset Sale unless:

(i) such Collateral Asset Sale involves the Collateral substantially in its entirety, or, if such Collateral Asset Sale involves less than all of the Collateral (a “Partial Collateral Asset Sale”), such Partial Collateral Asset Sale involves a single Collateral Asset Sale with a Fair Market Value at the time of consummation of such Collateral Asset Sale not exceeding $50 million and is not part of a series of Collateral Asset Sales in any eighteen month period with an aggregate Fair Market Value (measured as of the time of consummation of such sales) exceeding $50 million in the aggregate;

(ii) the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of the Collateral Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of such Collateral;

(iii) with respect to each such Collateral Asset Sale, the Borrower delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Administrative Agent dated no more than 15 days prior to the date of consummation of the relevant Collateral Asset Sale, certifying that such sale complies with clauses (i) and (ii) above;

(iv) at least 80% of the consideration received for the Collateral sold by the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, shall be in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents received at the time of such Collateral Asset Sale; provided that any other consideration received for such Collateral shall constitute Collateral pursuant to appropriate Collateral Documents to which the owner thereof is a party; and

(v) the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom shall be paid directly by the purchaser thereof to the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent, pursuant to the Master Collateral and Intercreditor Agreement, as additional Collateral.

In the case of a Partial Collateral Asset Sale, the Borrower, within 360 days from the date of consummation of a Partial Collateral Asset Sale, may apply all of the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom to purchase or otherwise invest in Replacement Collateral or to repay Permitted Secured Obligations (other than Trade Payables). Any such Net Cash Proceeds not so applied will be applied to make an Asset Sale Offer, in accordance with the terms described in Section 5.06(e). In the case of a Collateral Asset Sale other than a Partial Collateral Asset Sale, all of the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom will be immediately applied to make an Asset Sale Offer in accordance with the terms described below in Section 5.06(e).

(c) Events of Loss. If the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary suffers an Event of Loss, the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom will be paid directly by the party providing such Net Cash Proceeds to the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent, pursuant to the applicable Collateral Document, as additional Collateral. As any portion or all of

the Net Cash Proceeds from any such Event of Loss are received by the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent, the Borrower may apply all of such amount or amounts, as received, together with all interest earned thereon, individually or in combination, (1) to purchase or otherwise invest in Replacement Collateral, (2) to restore the relevant Collateral or Real Property Collateral, as the case may be, and (3) solely in the event that the Collateral or Real Property Collateral, as the case may be, subject to the Event of Loss is not necessary for and the absence of such Collateral or Real Property Collateral, as the case may be, would not otherwise materially adversely affect the business of the Borrower as it was conducted prior to the occurrence of such Event of Loss, to repay the Loans in accordance with Section 2.05. In the event that the Borrower elects to restore the relevant Collateral or Real Property Collateral, as the case may be, pursuant to the foregoing clause (2), within 180 days of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds from an Event of Loss, the Borrower will

(ii) give the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice of such election, and

(iii) enter into a binding commitment to restore such Collateral or Real Property Collateral, as the case may be, a copy of which will be supplied to the Administrative Agent, and will have 360 days from the date of such binding commitment to complete such restoration, which will be carried out with due diligence. The Borrower will take such action, at its sole expense, as may be required to ensure that the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent has, from the date of such purchase or investment, a first ranking Lien on such Replacement Collateral.

Any such Net Cash Proceeds that the Issuer does not elect to apply within such 180-day period or does not actually apply within such 360 day period will be applied to make an Asset Sale Offer in accordance with the terms described below in Section 5.06(e).

(d) Replacement Collateral. In the event that the Borrower decides pursuant to the foregoing provisions to apply any portion of the Net Cash Proceeds from an Event of Loss to purchase or otherwise invest in Replacement Collateral,

(i) the Borrower will deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Administrative Agent dated no more than 30 days prior to the date of consummation of the relevant investment in Replacement Collateral, certifying that the purchase price for the amount of the investment in Replacement Collateral does not exceed the Fair Market Value of such Replacement Collateral;

(ii) the Borrower will deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent and the Administrative Agent certifying compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Permitted Secured Obligations and requesting the release of such certified purchase price to the Borrower (or

the applicable Restricted Subsidiary), free of the Lien of the Collateral Documents; and

(iii) the Borrower will take such actions, at its sole expense, as may be required to permit the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent, pursuant to the applicable Collateral Document, to release such Net Cash Proceeds, together with any interest thereon, from the Lien of the applicable Collateral Document and to ensure that the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent has, from the date of such purchase or investment, a first-priority Lien on such Replacement Collateral pursuant to appropriate Collateral Documents.

(e) Asset Sale Offer. To the extent all or a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale, Collateral Asset Sale or Event of Loss are not applied as described in the respective paragraphs set forth above on or prior to the last day (the “Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date”) for the application of such proceeds therefor (including in the case of an Event of Loss, the election to apply), the Borrower will make an offer to prepay the Loans (the “Asset Sale Offer”), at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the date of purchase (the “Asset Sale Offer Amount”). The Borrower will prepay pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer from all accepting Lenders on a pro rata basis, that principal amount of Loans to be prepaid equal to such unapplied Net Cash Proceeds.

The offer to prepay Loans pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer must be mailed within 20 Business Days of the Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date. The Borrower may, however, defer an Asset Sale Offer until there is an aggregate amount of unapplied Net Cash Proceeds from one or more Asset Sales, Collateral Asset Sales or Events of Loss equal to or in excess of $10 million. At that time, the entire amount of unapplied Net Cash Proceeds, and not just the amount in excess of $10 million, will be applied as required pursuant to this Section 5.06 in accordance with the Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date for the Asset Sale, Collateral Asset Sale or Event of Loss that caused the Net Cash Proceeds to exceed $10 million. Pending application in accordance with this Section 5.06, Net Cash Proceeds will be invested in Cash Equivalents.

Within 20 days following an Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date, the Borrower shall deliver to each Lender an Asset Sale Offer Notice, with a copy to the Administrative Agent and to the extent such Asset Sale Offer relates to Net Cash Proceeds of any Collateral, the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent, offering to prepay the Loans as described above. Each Asset Sale Offer Notice shall state, in addition to the things specified in the definition thereof, the purchase date, which must be a Business Day no earlier than 30 calendar days nor later than 60 calendar days from the date the Asset Sale Offer Notice is delivered, other than as may be required by law (the “Asset Sale Offer Payment Date”). Upon receiving an Asset Sale Offer Notice, each Lender may elect to have its Loan prepaid in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000, and shall notify the Borrower of its acceptance thereof and, if relevant, the portion of its Loan to which such acceptance applies.

On the Asset Sale Offer Payment Date, the Borrower will, to the extent lawful, prepay the relevant portion of each Loan as to which such Asset Sale Offer has been accepted on the terms specified in this Section 5.06(e).

To the extent that Lenders accept an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Loans (or portions thereof) in an aggregate amount exceeding the available amount of unapplied Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower will prepay all applicable Loans on a pro rata basis (based on amounts tendered). If only a portion of a Loan is prepaid pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer, a new Note with respect to such Loan in a principal amount equal to the portion thereof remaining outstanding may, at the option of the relevant Lender, be issued in the name of such Lender upon cancellation of the Note theretofore held by such Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.06, at the Borrower’s option, the Borrower may:

(a) make any Asset Sale Offer in respect of Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale on a pro rata basis to holders of other Senior Indebtedness, and thereby prepay Loans (as applicable) and purchase or prepay holders of such other Senior Indebtedness on a pro rata basis; and

(b) apply Net Cash Proceeds from a Collateral Asset Sale or Event of Loss to permanently repay or repurchase Permitted Secured Obligations (other than the Loans and Trade Payables) concurrently with any prepayment of Loans with such Net Cash Proceeds pursuant to the relevant Asset Sale Offer so long as the minimum portion of the Net Cash Proceeds applied to prepay Loans is not less than the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds multiplied by the ratio of (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Loans to (ii) the outstanding principal amount of Permitted Secured Obligations (excluding Trade Payables) except if and only to the extent that the principal amount of Loans as to which such Asset Sale Offer is accepted is less than such minimum amount.

Upon completion of an Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Net Cash Proceeds will be reset at zero. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Loans prepaid pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the aggregate amount of unapplied Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower may use any remaining Net Cash Proceeds:

(i) from any Asset Sale, for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(ii) from any Collateral Asset Sale, for Replacement Collateral; and

(iii) from any Event of Loss, for Replacement Collateral or to restore the relevant Collateral or Real Property Collateral.

In the event any Asset Sale Offer involves Net Cash Proceeds from any combination of an Asset Sale, Collateral Asset Sale or an Event of Loss, the remaining Net Cash Proceeds will be applied as set forth in the previous sentence on a basis proportionate to the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds from each such event that gave rise to the Asset Sale Offer. The Borrower shall account for Net Cash Proceeds from a Collateral Asset Sale or Event of Loss separately from Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale. Remaining Net Cash Proceeds attributable to a Collateral Asset Sale or Event of Loss will remain as Collateral pursuant to the relevant Collateral Documents pending application pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above.

In the event of the transfer of substantially all (but not all) of the property and assets of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries as an entirety to a Person (other than the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary) in a transaction permitted under Section 5.16, the Successor Borrower will be deemed to have sold the properties and assets of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries not so transferred for purposes of this Section 5.06, and will comply with the provisions of this Section 5.06 with respect to the deemed sale as if it were an Asset Sale or a Collateral Asset Sale, as appropriate. In addition, the Fair Market Value of properties and assets of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries so deemed to be sold will be deemed to be Net Cash Proceeds for purposes of this Section 5.06.

If at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale, Collateral Asset Sale or Event of Loss is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any non-cash consideration), the conversion or disposition will be deemed to constitute an Asset Sale, Collateral Asset Sale or Event of Loss hereunder and the Net Cash Proceeds thereof will be applied in accordance with this Section 5.06 within the applicable time period from such conversion or disposition as set forth above.

Section 5.07. Limitation on the Ownership of Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries. The Borrower will not permit any Person other than the Borrower or another Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, own or control any Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary, except for:

(a) Capital Stock owned by such Person (or any direct or indirect transferee thereof) as of the Original Effective Date;

(b) directors’ qualifying shares;

(d) the ownership by Persons other than the Borrower, its Restricted Subsidiaries or any Affiliate of Vitro of Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Subsidiary (i) the Capital Stock of which is pledged or required to be pledged or (ii) the Real Property of which is mortgaged or required to be mortgaged) so long as

the Borrower directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary owns and controls at least 51% of the Voting Stock of, and economic interest in, such Restricted Subsidiary;

(e) the sale of 100% of the shares of the Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary held by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries to any Person other than the Borrower or another Restricted Subsidiary effected in accordance with, as applicable, the Collateral Documents and Section 5.06; and

(f) in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary other than a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary, the issuance by that Restricted Subsidiary of Capital Stock on a pro rata basis to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and minority holders of the Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary, on the other hand (or on less than a pro rata basis to any minority holder).

Section 5.08.Limitation on Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Borrower may designate after the Original Effective Date any Subsidiary of the Borrower as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” under this Agreement (a “Designation”) only if:

(i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and be continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such Designation and any transactions between the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and such Unrestricted Subsidiary are in compliance with Section 5.11;

(ii) at the time of and after giving effect to such Designation, the Borrower could Incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 5.03(a).

(iii) the Borrower would be permitted to make an Investment at the time of Designation (assuming the effectiveness of such Designation and treating such Designation as an Investment at the time of Designation) as a Restricted Payment pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 5.05 in an amount (the “Designation Amount”) equal to the amount of the Borrower’s Investment in such Subsidiary on such date;

(iv) neither the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary nor any of its assets is part of the Collateral; and

(v) such Subsidiary is not a Vitro Restricted Subsidiary.

(b) Neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary will at any time:

(i) provide credit support for, subject any of its property or assets (other than the Capital Stock of any Unrestricted Subsidiary) to the satisfaction of, or Guarantee, any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any undertaking, agreement or instrument evidencing such Indebtedness);

(ii) be directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary; or

(iii) be directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness which provides that the holder thereof may (upon notice, lapse of time or both) declare a default thereon or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or payable prior to its final scheduled maturity upon the occurrence of a default with respect to any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary; except

(A) for any non-recourse Guarantee given solely to support the pledge by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Capital Stock of any Unrestricted Subsidiary; and

(B) that the Borrower may Guarantee any Indebtedness of an Unrestricted Subsidiary if at the time of and after giving effect to such Guarantee, the Borrower could Incur such Guarantee in accordance with Section 5.03(a) and the first paragraph of Section 5.05 and the aggregate amount of all Guarantees of the Borrower or Indebtedness of Unrestricted Subsidiaries shall not exceed $50 million.

(i) No Default or Event of Default has occurred and be continuing at the time of and after giving effect to such Revocation; and

(ii) all Liens and Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary outstanding immediately following such Revocation would, if Incurred at such time, have been permitted to be Incurred for all purposes of this Agreement.

(d) The Designation of a Subsidiary of the Borrower as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to include the Designation of all of the Subsidiaries of such Subsidiary. All Designations and Revocations must be evidenced by resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Borrower, delivered to the Administrative Agent certifying compliance with the preceding provisions.

Section 5.09. Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) below, the Borrower will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock to the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary;

(ii) make loans or advances to the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary; or

(iii) transfer any of its property or assets to the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary.

(b) Paragraph (a) above will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(i) applicable law;

(ii) this Agreement;

(iii) any encumbrances or restrictions in effect as of the Original Effective Date and any encumbrances or restrictions contained in extensions, refinancings, renewals or replacements of any Indebtedness outstanding on the Original Effective Date that are not materially more restrictive than those in existence on the Original Effective Date;

(iv) customary non-assignment provisions of any contract and customary provisions restricting assignment or subletting in any lease governing a leasehold interest of any Restricted Subsidiary, or any customary restriction on the ability of a Restricted Subsidiary to dividend, distribute or otherwise transfer any asset which secures Indebtedness secured by a Lien, in each case permitted to be Incurred under this Agreement;

(v) any instrument governing Acquired Indebtedness not Incurred in connection with, or in anticipation or contemplation of, the relevant acquisition, merger or consolidation, which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person or the properties or assets of the Person so acquired;

(vi) restrictions with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower imposed pursuant to a binding agreement which has been entered into for the sale or disposition of Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary; provided, that such restrictions apply solely to the Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary being sold;

(vii) customary restrictions imposed on the transfer of copyrighted or patented materials;

(viii) arising in connection with the Incurrence of Indebtedness of a Guarantor after the Original Effective Date; provided, that such encumbrances or restrictions (1) relate solely to such Guarantor, are required in order to effect such financing and are not more restrictive on the ability of such Guarantor to make the payments, distributions, loans, advances or transfers referred to above

than necessarily and customarily accepted and (2) the proposed encumbrances or restrictions, taken together with other encumbrances or restrictions on the payments, distributions, loans, advances or transfers referred to above in effect with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries, do not prevent the Restricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower from making distributions to the Borrower sufficient to pay amounts payable in respect of its Indebtedness due during the 12 month period immediately following the Incurrence of such Indebtedness;

(ix) arising in connection with the Incurrence of Indebtedness by a Permitted Joint Venture after the Original Effective Date, provided, that such encumbrances or restrictions are required in order to effect such financing and are not more restrictive on the ability of the applicable Permitted Joint Venture to make the payments, distributions, loans, advances or transfers referred to above than necessarily and customarily accepted; or

(x) customary provisions in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

Nothing contained in this Section 5.09 shall prevent the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from (1) creating, incurring, assuming or suffering to exist any Liens otherwise permitted by Section 5.10 or (2) restricting the sale or other disposition of property or assets of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that secure Indebtedness provided such restriction is otherwise permitted by Section 5.10.

Section 5.10. Limitation on Liens. (a) The Borrower will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Liens of any kind against or upon any of the Collateral or any proceeds therefrom (except for Collateral Permitted Liens), or

(b) The Borrower will not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, incur any Liens of any kind securing Indebtedness against or upon any assets or property other than the Collateral or any proceeds therefrom (except for Permitted Liens) unless contemporaneously therewith effective provision is made to secure the Loans, or in the case of a Guarantor, the relevant Loan Guarantee, and all other amounts due under this Agreement equally and ratably with such Indebtedness or other obligation (or, in the event that such Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the Loans or the relevant Loan Guarantee, as the case may be, prior to such Indebtedness or other obligation) with a Lien on the same properties and assets securing such Indebtedness or other obligation for so long as such Indebtedness or other obligation is secured by such Lien.

Section 5.11. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into any transaction or series of related

transactions (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any of its Affiliates (each an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:

(i) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are no less favorable than those that could reasonably be expected to be obtained in a comparable transaction, at the time such transaction was entered into, on an arm’s-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Borrower;

(ii) in the event that such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments, or transfers of property or services with a Fair Market Value, in excess of $5 million, the terms of such Affiliate Transaction will be approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Borrower (including a majority of the disinterested members thereof), the approval to be evidenced by a Board Resolution stating that the Board of Directors has determined that such transaction complies with the preceding provisions; and

(iii) in the event that such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments, or transfers of property or services with a Fair Market Value, in excess of $10 million, the Borrower will, prior to the consummation thereof, obtain a favorable opinion as to the fairness of such Affiliate Transaction to the Borrower and the relevant Restricted Subsidiary (if any) from a financial point of view from an Independent Financial Advisor and file the same with the Administrative Agent.

(b) Section 5.11(a) above will not apply to:

(i) Affiliate Transactions with or among the Borrower and any Restricted Subsidiary or between or among Restricted Subsidiaries, excluding any Affiliate Transaction with a Restricted Subsidiary in which Vitro or any of its Affiliates directly or indirectly own any Capital Stock (other than by virtue of ownership by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries or the issuance to Vitro or any of its Affiliates of any nominal shares of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries as required by applicable law);

(ii) reasonable fees and compensation paid to, and any indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees, consultants or agents of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary as determined in good faith by the Borrower’s Board of Directors (including contributions to employee stock option plans maintained by Vitro and its Subsidiaries);

(iii) Affiliate Transactions undertaken in the ordinary course of business pursuant to any contractual obligations or rights in existence on the Original Effective Date (as in effect on the Original Effective Date) or any amendments, extensions or renewals of such contractual obligations on comparable terms;

(iv) any Restricted Payments made in compliance with Section 5.05;

(v) loans and advances to officers, directors and employees of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary for travel, entertainment, moving and other relocation expenses, in each case made in the ordinary course of business and not exceeding $300,000 outstanding at any one time;

Section 5.13. Financial Statements and Other Information. The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent who will distribute to each Lender:

(a) with respect to Vitro,

1. annual reports on Form 20-F (or any successor form) of Vitro containing the information required to be contained therein (or such successor form) as well as (x) segment disclosure with respect to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries substantially similar to that provided in the annual report on Form 20-F for Vitro for the year ended December 31, 2003 and (y) additional information with respect to the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries in the section “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” of such annual reports that would substantially comply with “Item 5.A. Operating Results” (including a discussion of net sales, cost of sales, general, administrative and selling expenses, operating income and net income for applicable periods) and “Item 5.B. Liquidity and capital resources” as applied to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, within the time period required under the rules of the SEC for the filing of Form 20-F (or any successor form) by foreign private issuers subject thereto, and

2. reports on Form 6-K (or any successor form) of Vitro including, whether or not required, unaudited quarterly financial statements (which shall include at least a balance sheet, income statement and statement of changes in financial position, in each case prepared in accordance with Mexican GAAP as in effect from time to time) along with other financial information and a discussion of results in each case with (i) at least the level of information provided by Vitro in its Form 6-K for the first quarter

(b) (notwithstanding that the Borrower may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act) with respect to the Borrower, audited annual and unaudited quarterly financial statements (which will include at least a balance sheet, income statement and statement of changes in financial position and notes thereto, in each case prepared in accordance with Mexican GAAP with an explanation of the principal differences between Mexican GAAP and U.S. GAAP, in each case as in effect from time to time), in each case in English and in content comparable to that required under Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K of the SEC, with respect to any audited annual financial statements, within the time period required under the rules of the SEC for the filing of Form 20-F (or any successor form) by foreign private issuers subject thereto or with respect to any unaudited quarterly financial statements, within 60 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, provided that if at any time the Borrower is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it shall file with the SEC the information described above in clause (a) with respect to itself, in which case it shall not be required to also provide the information described above in this clause (b);

(c) concurrently with each delivery of financial statements under clause (b) above, a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower (i) certifying as to whether a Default has occurred and is continuing and, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, specifying the details thereof and any action taken or proposed to be taken with respect thereto and (ii) stating whether any change in Mexican GAAP or in the application thereof has occurred since the date of the Borrower’s December 31, 2003 audited financial statements referred to in Section 3.06 or delivered pursuant to this Section and, if any such change has occurred, specifying the effect of such change on the financial statements accompanying such certificate; and

(d) promptly following any request therefor, such other information regarding the operations, business affairs and financial condition of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or compliance with the terms of any Loan Document, as the Administrative Agent or any Lender may reasonably request.

Section 5.14. Payment of Additional Amounts.

(a) All payments by the Borrower in respect of the Loans or by a Guarantor in respect of its Loan Guarantee shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments, fees or other governmental charges (“Taxes”) imposed or levied by or on behalf of Mexico or

any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or of any other jurisdiction in which the Borrower or any Guarantor is incorporated (any of the aforementioned, a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law.

(b) Subject to Section 5.14(c), if the Borrower or a Guarantor is required by the law of any Taxing Jurisdiction to make any such withholding or deduction, the Borrower or such Guarantor shall pay to any Holder such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that every net payment made by the Borrower on such Loan or by such Guarantor in respect of its Loan Guarantee after deduction or withholding for or on account of any such Taxes shall not be less than the amount then due and payable on such Loan.

(i) any tax, duty, assessment, fee or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection, including a permanent establishment or fixed base, between such Lender and Mexico other than by the receipt of such payment and the terms of the Loan Documents;

(ii) any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge; or

(iii) in the case of any Lender that is or was a Foreign Financial Institution (as defined below) on the date such Person became a Lender and thus subject to the requirements of paragraph (h) below, any withholding taxes imposed as a result of a failure of such Lender to comply with its obligations set forth in paragraph (h) below, subject to the exceptions and limitations provided therein; provided that the taxes excluded shall be deemed to include only withholdings or deductions payable by the Borrower in respect of payments hereunder in excess of a rate equal to the rate applicable if there had been no such failure by such Lender to comply with paragraph (h) below.

(d) At least 30 calendar days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Loans is due and payable (or, as early as practicable, if the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to such date), if the Borrower or a Guarantor will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment in an amount different than the Additional Amounts payable on the date hereof, the Borrower or such Guarantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable and the amounts so payable, and setting forth such other information necessary to enable the Administrative Agent to pay such Additional Amounts to Lenders on the payment date. In the absence of any such certificate, the Administrative Agent may assume that no

such deduction or withholding shall be required. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without bad faith on its part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by it in reliance, absent manifest error, on any certificate furnished pursuant to this Section 5.14(d) or not furnished. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 5.14(d) shall survive the payment of the Loans, the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent and/or the termination of this Agreement.

(e) The Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, shall provide to the Administrative Agent documentation evidencing payment of withholding taxes within 30 days after payment thereof. Copies of such documentation shall be made available to Lenders upon written request therefor.

(f) The Borrower or a Guarantor will pay any stamp, issue, registration, documentary or other similar taxes and duties, including interest and penalties in Mexico or the United States or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority of or in the foregoing in respect of the Borrowing.

(g) Whenever in this Agreement there is mentioned, in any context:

(i) the payment of principal, interest or additional interest on the Loans;

(ii) redemption or repurchase prices in respect of the Loans; or

(iii) any other amount payable on or with respect to any of the Loans,

such reference will be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts as described under this Section 5.14 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

(h) Each Lender that is a Foreign Financial Institution on the Original Effective Date (or, if such Lender becomes a Lender after the Original Effective Date as a result of an assignment, on the date of such assignment) shall, at the request of the Borrower, made pursuant to a written notice given at least 10 days prior to the relevant filing date, use reasonable commercial efforts to file with the Ministry of Finance or, where applicable, in accordance with the laws of any jurisdiction outside Mexico from or through which payments hereunder or under any Notes are made, a form, certificate or other similar document requested by the Borrower (including without limitation any such form, certificate or other similar document that may be required to maintain such Lender Party’s status as a Foreign Financial Institution) if (1) such filing is required under applicable law or a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation then in effect, (2) such filing would avoid the need for making any tax withholding or deduction, or reduce the amount of any such withholding or deduction which may thereafter accrue to or for the account of such Lender pursuant to this Section and (3) such filing would not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, require such Lender to disclose any

confidential or proprietary information or be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that nothing in this Section shall interfere with the rights of any Lender Party to conduct its fiscal or tax affairs in such manner as it deems appropriate. As used herein, “Foreign Financial Institution” means an institution registered as a foreign financial institution with the Ministry of Finance in the registry referred to in Article 197 of Mexico’s Income Tax Law and any successor provision thereof, for purposes of fracción I, inciso a), subinciso 2, of Article 195 of Mexico’s Income Tax Law.

Section 5.15. Maintenance of Properties and Insurance. The Borrower shall, at all times, make or cause to be made such expenditures by means of renewals, replacements, repairs, maintenance or otherwise take such action as shall be necessary to maintain, preserve and keep all of its Real Property and machinery and equipment comprising Collateral or Collateral Assets in good working order, condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted), in a state of good operating efficiency, and shall not commit any waste on or with respect to any such Collateral or Collateral Asset or any other Collateral or Collateral Asset.

The Borrower will provide or cause to be provided, for itself and its Restricted Subsidiaries, insurance (including appropriate self-insurance) covering physical loss or damage to the Collateral and the Collateral Assets, as is consistent with its recent past practices.

Section 5.16. Limitation on Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets.

(a) The Borrower will not, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, consolidate or merge with or into any Person (whether or not the Borrower is the surviving or continuing Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of (or cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of) all or substantially all of the Borrower’s properties and assets (determined on a consolidated basis for the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries), to any Person unless:

(i) either:

(A) the Borrower will be the surviving or continuing corporation, or

(B) the Person (if other than the Borrower) formed by such consolidation or into which the Borrower is merged or the Person which acquires by sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition the properties and assets of the Borrower and of the Borrower’s Restricted Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety (the “Successor Borrower”):

(1) shall be a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of Mexico, and

(2) will expressly assume, by supplemental agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent and by any other documents required under the Collateral Documents, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on all of the Loans and the performance and observance of every covenant of the Loans, this Agreement, the Notes and each other Loan Document and the Collateral Documents on the part of the Borrower to be performed or observed;

(ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the assumption contemplated by Section 5.16(a)(i)(B)(y) above (including giving effect on a pro forma basis to any Indebtedness, including any Acquired Indebtedness, Incurred or anticipated to be Incurred in connection with or in respect of such transaction), the Borrower or such Successor Borrower, as the case may be:

(A) will have a Consolidated Net Worth equal to or greater than the Consolidated Net Worth of the Borrower immediately prior to such transaction, and

(B) will be able to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 5.03(a).

(iii) immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the assumption contemplated by Section 5.16(a)(i)(B)(2) above (including, without limitation, giving effect on a pro forma basis to any Indebtedness, including any Acquired Indebtedness, Incurred or anticipated to be Incurred and any Lien granted in connection with or in respect of the transaction), no Default or Event of Default has occurred or be continuing;

(iv) the Borrower or the Successor Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition comply with the applicable provisions of this Agreement and that all conditions precedent in this Agreement relating to the transaction have been satisfied; and

(v) each Guarantor (including Persons that become Guarantors as a result of the transaction) has confirmed by an addendum hereto (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) that its Loan

Guarantee will apply for the Obligations of the Successor Borrower in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

For purposes of this Section 5.16, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise, in a single transaction or series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of one or more Restricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower, the Capital Stock of which constitutes all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Borrower (determined on a consolidated basis for the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries), will be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Borrower provided that the provisions of Section 5.16(a)(i) and Section 5.16(a)(v) shall not apply in respect of any such transaction to any Person (other than the Borrower) that otherwise would be a surviving or continuing corporation subject to Section 5.16(a)(i)(A) or that would be required to assume the Obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents subject to Section 5.16(a)(i)(B), to the extent such Person is or becomes a Guarantor in accordance with Section 5.16(d) below.

(b) The provisions of Section 5.16(a) above will not apply to:

(i) any transfer of the properties or assets of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary to the Borrower or a Guarantor;

(ii) any merger of a Restricted Subsidiary into the Borrower or a Guarantor;

(iii) any merger of the Borrower into a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower created for the purpose of holding the Capital Stock of the Borrower,

so long as, in each case the Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole is not increased thereby and such transferee or surviving or continuing person, as applicable, assumes the Obligations under and becomes a party to the applicable Collateral Documents in accordance with the terms thereof.

(c) Upon any consolidation, combination or merger or any transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in accordance with this Section 5.16, in which the Borrower is not the continuing corporation, the Successor Borrower formed by such consolidation or into which the Borrower is merged or to which such conveyance, lease or transfer is made will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Borrower under this Agreement and the Loans with the same effect as if such Successor Borrower had been named as such.

(d) Each Guarantor will not, and the Borrower will not cause or permit any Guarantor to, consolidate with or merge into, or sell or dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, any Person (other than the Borrower) that is not a Guarantor unless:

(i) such Person (if such Person is the surviving entity) assumes all of the obligations of such Guarantor in respect of its Loan Guarantee by executing an accession agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D and providing the Administrative Agent with an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, and such transaction is otherwise in compliance with this Agreement and assumes the obligations under and becomes a party to the Collateral Documents to which such Guarantor is a party in accordance with the terms thereof;

Section 7.03. Limited Duties and Responsibilities. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents.

Section 7.04. Authority to Rely on Certain Writings, Statements and Advice. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on, and shall not incur any liability for relying on, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely on any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.

Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the approval of Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders with the approval of the Borrower and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500 million.

LOAN GUARANTEES

Section 8.01. Loan Guarantees. Each Guarantor unconditionally guarantees the full and punctual payment of (x) all principal of all Loans outstanding from time to time under this Agreement, (y) all interest (including any interest that accrues after the commencement of any case, proceeding or other action relating to the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Borrower (or would accrue but for the operation of applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws), whether or not such interest is allowed or

allowable as a claim in any such proceeding) on such Loans and (z) all other amounts now or hereafter payable by the Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents (the amounts described in clauses (x), (y) and (z), collectively, the “Obligations”) when due (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise). If the Borrower fails to pay any Obligation punctually when due, each Guarantor agrees that it will forthwith on demand pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified in this Agreement, including without limitation with respect to Additional Amounts as provided under Section 5.14, which shall apply to each Guarantor in making payments hereunder as fully as though such Guarantor were the “Borrower” in making payments hereunder.

Section 8.02. Guarantees Unconditional. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Loan Guarantee shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

(a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person under any Loan Document, by operation of law or otherwise;

(b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to any Loan Document;

(c) any release, impairment, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for any obligation of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person under any Loan Document;

(d) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any of their respective subsidiaries, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, concurso mercantil, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any of their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person under any Loan Document;

(e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right that such Guarantor may have at any time against the Borrower, any other Guarantor, any Lender Party or any other Person, whether in connection with the Loan Documents or any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

(f) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person for any reason of any Loan Document, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment of any Obligation by the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person; or

(g) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other party to any Loan Document, any Lender Party or any other Person, or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this clause (g), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to any obligation of any Guarantor hereunder.

Section 8.03. Release of Guarantees. (a) All the Guarantees will be released when all the Commitments have expired or terminated and the principal of and interest on each Loan and all fees payable hereunder have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of an Obligation is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency or receivership of the Borrower or otherwise, the Loan Guarantees shall be reinstated with respect thereto as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

(b) If all the capital stock of a Guarantor or all the assets of a Guarantor are sold to a Person other than the Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries in a transaction permitted by this Agreement (any such sale, a “Sale of Guarantor”), the Administrative Agent shall release such Guarantor from its Loan Guarantee; provided that, if such sale is a Prepayment Event, arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent have been made to apply the Net Proceeds thereof as required by this Agreement. Such release shall not require the consent of any Lender Party, and the Administrative Agent shall be fully protected in relying on a certificate of the Borrower as to whether any particular sale constitutes a Sale of Guarantor.

(c) In addition to any release permitted by subsection (b), the Administrative Agent may release any Loan Guarantee with the prior written consent of the Required Lenders; provided that any release of all or substantially all the Loan Guarantees shall require the consent of all the Lenders.

Section 8.04. Waiver by Guarantors. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Borrower, any other Credit Party or any other Person, prior to making a claim against such Guarantor, and any right to which it may otherwise be entitled to (i) require any Lender or the Administrative Agent to sue and/or complete an action against the Borrower or any other Credit Party prior to a claim being made against such Guarantor hereunder; (ii) have the assets of any the Borrower or any other Credit Party first be used and/or applied in full or in part as payment of the Borrower’s or any such other Credit Party’s obligations under the Loan Document prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by such Guarantor hereunder; or (iii) have its obligations hereunder divided among itself and one or more other Credit Parties, if such Guarantor’s obligations would be less than the full amount claimed hereunder. In addition, each

Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent applicable, the benefits of orden, excusión, división, prórroga and quita and any benefits it may have under any of Articles 2813 through 2823, Articles 2839 and 2840 or Articles 2844 through 2849 (in each case inclusive) of Mexico’s Federal Civil Code (the “Civil Code”), and the correlative articles of the civil codes of each political subdivision of Mexico. The obligations assumed by each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by the absence of judicial request of payment by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, and whether or not any Lender or the Administrative Agent takes any action within the time set forth in Articles 2848 and 2849 of the Civil Code, and each Guarantor hereby expressly waives the provisions of such Articles.

Section 8.05. Subrogation. A Guarantor that makes a payment with respect to a Obligation hereunder shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Borrower with respect to such payment; provided that no Guarantor shall enforce any payment by way of subrogation against the Borrower, or by reason of contribution against any other Guaranteeing Person of such Obligation, until all the Commitments have expired or terminated and the principal of and interest on each Loan and all fees payable hereunder have been paid in full.

Section 8.06. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any Obligation by the Borrower is stayed by reason of the insolvency or receivership of the Borrower or otherwise, all Obligations otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any Loan Document shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent.

Section 8.07. Continuing Loan Guarantee. Each Loan Guarantee is a continuing guarantee, shall be binding on the relevant Guarantor and its successors and assigns, and shall be enforceable by the Administrative Agent or the Lender Parties. If all or part of any Lender Party’s interest in any Obligation is assigned or otherwise transferred as permitted hereby, the transferor’s rights under each Loan Guarantee, to the extent applicable to the obligation so transferred, shall automatically be transferred with such obligation.

The rights and remedies of the Lender Parties under the Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.

(vii) release all or any substantial part of the Collateral from the Liens created by the Collateral Documents, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent without its prior written consent.

hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, direct damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (c) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (d) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (e) any Environmental Liability related in any way, directly or indirectly, to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or (f) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not be available to any Indemnitee to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses have resulted from such Indemnitee’s or any of such Indemnitee’s Affiliates’ gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (except the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly provided herein, the Related Parties of the Lender Parties) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of any Commitment it has at the time and any Loans at the time owing to it); provided that:

(i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate, the Administrative Agent must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld);

(ii) unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment shall not be less than $1,000,000; provided that this (ii) shall not apply to an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans;

(iii) the parties to each such assignment shall (a) electronically execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which initially shall be ClearPar, LLC) or (b) manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (such fee payable by the assignor or assignee, as agreed by the parties); provided that only one such fee shall be due in respect of a simultaneous assignment to more than one Lender Affiliate; and

(iv) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a completed Administrative Questionnaire and applicable tax forms;

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to subsection (d) of this Section, from and after the Original Effective Date specified in each Assignment the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.09, 2.10, 5.14 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York City a copy of each Assignment delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses

of the Lenders, their respective Commitments and the principal amounts of the Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the parties hereto may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by any party hereto at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and applicable tax forms (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in subsection (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by subsection (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this subsection.

(e) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or any other Lender Party, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower and the other Lender Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (f) of this Section, each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.09, 2.10 and 5.14 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section.

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.09 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.

(g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest;

provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(h) If at any time any Lender that is a Foreign Financial Institution (as defined in Section 5.14) is required to file with the Ministry of Finance a report setting forth each effective beneficiary (beneficiario efectivo) of payments made to such Lender of interest on its Loans, such Lender shall contemporaneously deliver a copy of such report to the Borrower.

Section 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties in the Loan Documents and in certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Lender Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any principal of or accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable hereunder is outstanding and unpaid or any Commitment has not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.09, 2.10, 5.14 and 9.03 and Article 7 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement (i) will become effective when the Administrative Agent shall have signed this Agreement and received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto and (ii) thereafter will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy will be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 9.07. Severability. If any provision of any Loan Document is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent (but only to the extent) of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, (ii) the other provisions of

the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and (iii) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any such provision in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.08. Right of Set-off. Subject to the terms of the Master Collateral and Intercreditor Agreement (including Sections 5.01 and 5.02 thereof), if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing hereunder and held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Section 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself, to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any relevant appellate court (each, a “New York Court”) and to the courts of its own corporate domicile in respect of actions brought against it as a defendant, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such courts. Each party hereto (i) expressly and irrevocably waives all rights of jurisdiction in any such action or proceeding which may now or hereafter be afforded by law in any other forum, and (ii) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(c) Each Credit Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document in any court referred to in subsection (b) of this Section and any right to which it may be entitled on account of place of residence or domicile. Each party hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an

inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably designates, appoints, authorizes and empowers as its agent for service of process, CT Corporation System, at its offices currently located at 111 Eighth Avenue, 13th Floor, New York, NY 10011 (the “Process Agent”), to receive and forward on its behalf service of any and all process, notices or other documents that may be served in any suit, action or proceeding relating hereto in any New York Court (as defined in subsection (b) of this Section). Each Credit Party consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in this Section by serving a copy thereof upon the Process Agent. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Lenders agree that to the extent lawful and possible, written notice of said service upon the Process Agent shall also be mailed by registered or certified airmail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to such Credit Party at the address provided pursuant to Section 9.01. If said service upon the Process Agent shall not be possible or shall otherwise be impractical after reasonable efforts to effect the same, the Borrower consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in the Section by the mailing of a copy thereof by registered or certified airmail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the address of such Credit Party provided pursuant to Section 9.01, which service shall be effective 14 days after deposit in the United States Postal Service. Each Credit Party agrees that such service (1) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (2) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Without limitation of the foregoing, each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in any Loan Document will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(e) To the extent that any Credit Party has or hereafter may be entitled to claim or may acquire, for itself or any of its assets, any immunity from suit, jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, such Credit Party hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under the Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section shall be effective to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States and are intended to be irrevocable for purposes of such Act.

Section 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED THEREBY

(WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 9.12. Confidentiality. Each Lender Party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document or the enforcement of any right thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or Participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information either (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to any Lender Party on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to any Lender Party on a nonconfidential basis before disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 9.13. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law

(collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged or otherwise received by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such Lender shall have received such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of payment.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
