(i) Tranche A-1 Loans, Tranche A-2 Loans and Tranche A-3 Loans. Each Tranche
A-1 Loan, each Tranche A-2 Loan and each Tranche A-3 Loan respectively shall bear interest
for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal at
all times during such Interest Period for such Tranche A-1 Loan, such Tranche A-2 Loan or
such Tranche A-3 Loan to the sum of (x) the LIBO Rate determined for such Interest Period
plus (y) the Applicable Margin, computed on the basis of a 360-day year for actual days
elapsed, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest
Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each
day that occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such
Interest Period and on the date such Tranche A-1 Loan, Tranche A-2 Loan or such Tranche A-3
Loan shall be paid in full.
(ii) Tranche B Loans. Each Tranche B Loan shall bear interest for each day
during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal at all times
during such Interest Period for such Tranche B Loan to the sum of (x) the Fixed Rate plus
(y) the Applicable Margin computed on the basis of a 360-day year for actual days elapsed,
payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period.
(iii) Tranche C-1 Loans and Tranche C-2 Loans. Each Tranche C-1 Loan and each

(b) LIBO Rate and TIIE Rate Loans. The Borrower hereby agrees that interest rates for
the Tranche A-1 Loans, Tranche A-2 Loans, Tranche A-3 Loans, Tranche C-1 Loans and Tranche C-2

(c) Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of

SECTION 2.07. Interest Rate Determination. With respect to the Tranche A-1 Loans, the
Tranche A-2 Loans and the Tranche A-3 Loans, if the Required Lenders determine that the LIBO Rate
for any Interest Period for any such loan will not adequately reflect the cost to such Required
Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Tranche A-1 Loans, Tranche A-2 Loans
and/or Tranche A-3 Loans as the case may be, for such Interest Period, such Required Lenders shall
forthwith so notify the Administrative Agent. During the 15 days next succeeding the giving of
such notice, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall negotiate in good faith in order to
arrive at a mutually satisfactory interest rate which shall be applicable during such Interest
Period to such Loan. If within such 15-day period, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree
in writing upon an alternative interest rate, such rate shall be effective from the commencement of
such
Interest Period. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent fail to agree upon such an
alternative interest rate within such 15-day period, the interest rate during such Interest Period
applicable to such loan effective from the commencement of such Interest Period shall be such rate
as the Administrative Agent shall determine (in a certificate delivered by the Administrative Agent
to the Borrower setting forth the basis of the computation of such amount, which certificate shall
be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error) to be necessary to compensate
the Lender for its cost of obtaining (in good faith and using commercially reasonable efforts to
minimize the interest cost to the Borrower) as of the commencement of such Interest Period funds
for such Interest Period in an amount equal to the principal amount of such Tranche A-1 Loan, such
Tranche A-2 Loan and/or such Tranche A-3 Loan as the case may be, plus the Applicable
Margin. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of each such determination as promptly
as practicable.
26
SECTION 2.08. Prepayments. (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon at least
five Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate

outstanding principal amount of the Tranche A-1 Loans, the Tranche A-2 Loans, the Tranche A-3
Loans, the Tranche B Loans, the Tranche C-1 Loans or the Tranche C-2 Loans, as the case may be, in
whole or in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal
amount prepaid; provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment of the Tranche
A-1 Loans, the Tranche A-2 Loans or the Tranche A-3 Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount
of U.S. $20,000,000, or an integral multiple of U.S. $5,000,000 in excess thereof, or in the case
of the Tranche B Loans, the Tranche C-1 Loans or the Tranche C-2 Loans, an aggregate principal
amount of Ps$200,000,000 or an integral multiple of Ps$50,000,000 in excess thereof and (y) the
Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section
8.04(c). Prepayments of Tranche A-1 Loans, Tranche A-2 Loans and Tranche A-3 Loans shall be made
ratably with respect to the Tranche A-1 Loans, Tranche A-2 Loans and Tranche A-3 Loans. Each
principal portion of any prepayment of a Tranche B Loan, Tranche C-1 Loan or a Tranche C-2 Loan
shall be applied to the principal installments due hereunder in inverse order of maturity;
provided further that in the case of the prepayment of any Tranche B Loan, the
Borrower shall pay on the date of such prepayment all break funding costs previously evidenced to
the Borrower in reasonable detail by the relevant Tranche B Bank; provided that, the basis for the
calculation of any amounts that any Tranche B Bank is entitled to receive pursuant to this proviso
shall be the present value, calculated as of the scheduled prepayment date, of the future payments
on such Tranche B Loan through maturity of such Loan, at a discount rate (the “Discount
Rate”) equal to the rate determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the
Tranche B Banks pursuant to the derivatives transactions evaluation model in the market, which
takes into account financial market practice and the standard rules applied by Banco de México, as
such methodology is described on Schedule 2.08(a); provided, however:
(i) in the event that the Borrower does not agree with the amount that such Tranche B
Bank is entitled to receive as determined pursuant to the methodology referred to above, the
Borrower shall within two Business Days of notice of such amount, send a notice to such
Tranche B Bank indicating the specific reasons for its disagreement. Such Tranche B Bank
shall then select a Substitute Evaluation Agent to calculate the amount
that such Tranche B Bank is entitled to receive using the same methodology previously
described to the Borrower by such Tranche B Bank. A certificate of the amount of payment
determined by the Substitute Evaluation Agent shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error; and
(ii) if the Borrower objects to the payment amount determined by such Tranche B Bank
and by the Substitute Evaluation Agent or fails to pay such amount on the prepayment date,
the Borrower shall not have the right to prepay such Tranche B Loan.
(b) Mandatory. The Borrower shall, upon the occurrence of the Borrower ceasing to be
Controlled by the Parent, prepay the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding at such

Amendment Effective Date, the Tranche A-1 Loans and the Tranche C-1 Loans shall be prepaid in an
amount equal to the Tranche A-1 Prepayment Amount and the Tranche C-1 Prepayment Amount
respectively.
SECTION 2.09. Increased Costs. (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any
change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any
guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having
the force of law) after the date of this Agreement, there shall be any increase in the cost to any
of the Lenders of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining its Tranche A-1 Loans, Tranche
A-2 Loans, Tranche A-3 Loans, Tranche B Loans, Tranche C-1 Loans or Tranche C-2 Loans, as the case
may be, (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.09 any such increased costs resulting from (x)
Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.12 shall govern), and (y) changes in the basis of
taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign
jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Applicable
Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof), then the Borrower shall from time to time,
upon demand by any of the Lenders, pay to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate
such Lender for such increased cost; provided, however, that before making any such
demand, each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal
and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of
such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost and would
not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A
certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted in good faith to the Borrower by
such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(b) If any of the Lenders determines in good faith that compliance with any law or regulation
or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority enacted after the
date of this Agreement (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount
of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such
Lender and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based
upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder and other commitments of this
type, then, upon demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, from time to time as
specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such
corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably
determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s commitment to
lend hereunder. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower by such Lender in good
faith, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.10. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if
any of the Lenders determines in good faith that the introduction of or any change in or in the
interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other
governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any of the Lenders or its Applicable
Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Tranche A-1 Loans, Tranche A-2 Loans,
Tranche A-3 Loans, Tranche B Loans, Tranche C-1 Loans or Tranche C-2 Loans, as the case may be, or
to fund or maintain any Loans to be made by it hereunder, such Lender shall forthwith give notice
thereof to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, whereupon (a) until
28
such Lender notifies the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no
longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make Tranche A-1 Loans, Tranche A-2 Loans, Tranche
A-3 Loans, Tranche B Loans, Tranche C-1 Loans or Tranche C-2 Loans, as the case may be, shall be
suspended and (b) if such Lender shall so request in such notice, the Borrower shall within 15
(fifteen) days of such notice, unless such law, regulation, central bank or governmental authority
requires that prepayment shall occur immediately, prepay in full the then outstanding principal
amount of such Tranche A-1 Loan, Tranche A-2 Loan, Tranche A-3 Loan,Tranche B Loan, Tranche C-1
Loan or Tranche C-2 Loan, as the case may be, together with accrued interest thereon. If it is
lawful for such Lender to maintain any such Loan through the last day of the Interest Period then
applicable to such Loan, such prepayment shall be due on such last day.
SECTION 2.11. Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment
hereunder and under the Notes, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off, not later than
11:00 A.M. (New York City time) in the case of Tranche A-1 Loans, Tranche A-2 Loans or Tranche A-3
Loans, and 11:00 A.M. (Mexico City time) in the case of either the Tranche B Loans, the Tranche C-1
Loans or the Tranche C-2 Loans, on the day when due (i) in the case of the Tranche A-1 Loans, the
Tranche A-2 Loans or Tranche A-3 Loans, in U.S. Dollars and in the case of either the Tranche B
Loans, the Tranche C-1 Loans or the Tranche C-2 Loans, in Pesos, in all cases to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of each of the Lenders, at the Administrative Agent’s Account in same day
funds, with payments being received by the Administrative Agent after such time being deemed to
have been received on the next succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent will promptly
thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of
principal, interest, commitment fees or any other Obligation then payable hereunder and under the
Notes to more than one Lender, to such Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable
Lending Offices ratably in accordance with the amounts of such respective Obligations then payable
to such Lenders and (ii) if such
payment by the Borrower is in respect of any Obligation then payable hereunder to one Lender,
to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance
and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(d),
from and after the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall
make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to such
Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all
appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between
themselves.
(b) The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender and each of its Affiliates, if and to the
extent payment owed to such Lender is not made when due hereunder or, in the case of a Lender,
under the Tranche A-1 Note, Tranche A-2 Note, Tranche A-3 Note, Tranche B Note, Tranche C-1 Note or
Tranche C-2 Note, as the case may be, held by such Lender, to charge from time to time, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with such Lender or
such Affiliate any amount so due.
(c) All computations of interest based on the LIBO Rate, the TIIE Rate, the Fixed Rate and of
facility fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each
case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last
29
day) occurring
in the period for which such interest or facility fees are payable. The Administrative Agent shall
determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder. Each determination by the
Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error. All prepayments of principal shall be made together with accrued
interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid.
(d) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other
than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such
extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or
facility fee, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would
cause payment of interest on or principal of any Loan to be made in the next following calendar
month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.
(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the
date on which any payment is due to any Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such
payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in
full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon
such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender on such due date an amount equal to
the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such
payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender shall repay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon,
for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender
repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate in the case of Tranche
A-1 Loans, Tranche A-2 Loans and Tranche A-3 Loans, and the TIIE Rate in the case of Tranche B
Loans, Tranche C-1 Loans and Tranche C-2 Loans.
(f) At the request of the Borrower, each Lender which is a Mexican Financial Institution shall
deliver to the Borrower an invoice for any interest payments, including Default Interest made
hereunder, which invoice shall be issued in accordance with all applicable tax and legal
requirements.
SECTION 2.12. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower under the Loan
Documents or any other documents to be delivered thereunder shall be made, in accordance with this
Section 2.12 or the applicable provisions of such other documents, free and clear of and without
deduction for any and all present or future taxes (including, without limitation, value-added taxes
and withholding taxes), levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities
with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of the Administrative Agent or any of the
Lenders, taxes imposed on its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net
income taxes, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Administrative Agent or any of the
Lenders is organized or any political subdivision thereof and taxes imposed on its overall net
income, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction of the
Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders’ Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision
thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and
liabilities in respect of payments under the Loan Documents being hereinafter referred to as
“Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect
of any sum payable under any of the Loan Documents, or any other documents to be
30
delivered
thereunder to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders, (i) the sum payable shall be
increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) the Administrative Agent or any
Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made
(provided, however, that no such additional amounts shall be payable in respect of
any taxes imposed by reason of the Administrative Agent or any Lender’s failure to comply with
Section 2.12(d), in excess of the additional amounts that would have been payable had the
Administrative Agent or any Lender complied with such Section), (ii) the Borrower shall make such
deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation
authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or
any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made
hereunder or under the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder or from the
execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this
Agreement or the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder (hereinafter referred to as
“Other Taxes”).
(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders for and hold
them harmless against the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, taxes
of any kind imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.12)
imposed on or paid by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders and any liability (including
penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification
shall be made within 30 days from the date the Administrative Agent or any Lender (as the case may
be) makes written demand therefor.
(d) Each Lender that is not a Mexican Financial Institution or an Export Credit Agency hereby
represents to the Borrower as of the date hereof that it is a foreign financial institution
registered with the Registry of Foreign Banks, Financial Entities, Pension and Retirement Funds and
Investment Funds (Registro de bancos, entidades de financiamiento, fondos de pensiones y
jubilaciones y fondos de inversión del extranjero) maintained by the Ministry of Finance for
purposes of Article 195- I, subsection a), item 2 of the Mexican Income Tax Law (Ley del Impuesto
Sobre la Renta)(or any successor provisions) and that it is a resident (or its principal office is
a resident) in a country that has entered into a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation with
Mexico. The Borrower shall not be obligated to pay the Administrative Agent or any Lender (that is
not a Mexican Financial Institution) any amounts described in Section 2.12(a) in respect of Taxes
that would not have been imposed but for the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender
(that is not a Mexican Financial Institution) (i) prior to the last day of the first Interest
Period (a) to be registered (or, with respect to any bank or other financial institution which
becomes a Lender pursuant to Section 8.07, on the date such bank or other financial institution
becomes a Lender) with the Ministry of Finance as a foreign financial institution for purposes of
Article 195-I subsection a), item 2 of the Mexican Income Tax Law (Ley del Impuesto Sobre la Renta)
or any successor provisions and the regulations thereunder and (b) to be a resident (or to have the
principal offices of such Lender be a resident, if such Lender lends through a branch or agency)
for tax purposes of a jurisdiction with which Mexico has in effect a treaty for the avoidance of
double taxation, (ii) to use its reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory
restrictions) to maintain its registration with the Ministry of
31
Finance as a foreign financial
institution for purposes of Article 195-I subsection a), item 2 of the Mexican Income Tax Law (Ley
del Impuesto Sobre la Renta) or any successor provisions and the regulations thereunder, if the
making of such filing would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be materially
disadvantageous to such Lender or (iii) following a reasonable request of the Borrower upon 60
days’ written notice (unless a lesser period is reasonable under the circumstances), to complete
and file with the appropriate Governmental Authority, such forms, certificates or documents
(collectively, “Forms”) prescribed by law, rule or regulation enacted or issued by Mexico,
or by a double taxation treaty to which Mexico is a party and which is in effect, that are
necessary to avoid or reduce such Taxes pursuant to provisions of any law, rule or regulation
enacted or issued by Mexico, or a double taxation treaty to which Mexico is a party and which is in
effect (provided that (i) such Lender shall be under no obligation to provide any information to
the Borrower which such Lender deems, in such Lender’s judgment, to be confidential, (ii) such
Lender or the Administrative Agent is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such Forms,
(iii) the completion, execution and delivery of such Forms will not result, in the good faith,
reasonable determination of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, made in writing to the
Borrower, in the imposition on such Lender or the Administrative Agent of (1) any additional
material legal or regulatory burden or (2) any additional material out-of-pocket costs or (3) any
other material adverse consequences). Promptly upon written request by the Borrower, each Lender
(that is not a Mexican Financial Institution or an Export Credit Agency) shall provide to the
Borrower, to the extent it is so registered, evidence of its tax registration with the Ministry of
Finance, in effect at the time of such request, in connection with Article 195-I subsection a),
item 2 of the Mexican Income Tax Law (Ley del Impuesto Sobre la Renta) and the regulations
thereunder. For purposes of Section 2.12(d) (i) (b), the parties hereto hereby agree that if the
Mexican Ministry of Finance or any other competent Mexican Governmental Authority determines, by
means of a written resolution to such effect, or if the
Borrower has reasonable grounds to believe, based on an opinion of counsel of recognized
standing delivered to the Administrative Agent, that the Mexican withholding tax regime applicable
to the branches or agencies of a Lender (that is not a Mexican Financial Institution or an Export
Credit Agency) is different from the tax regime that would be applicable to the principal office of
a Lender (that is not a Mexican Financial Institution or an Export Credit Agency), then the
Borrower shall be entitled to request the relevant Lender, and the relevant Lender shall use its
reasonable efforts to change its Applicable Lending Office to a jurisdiction with which Mexico
shall have entered into a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation, and if the Lender (that is
not a Mexican Financial Institution or an Export Credit Agency) shall fail to do so within a sixty
(60) day period, the Borrower would be entitled to (x) prepay the Loans of such Lender in
accordance with the prepayment terms contemplated herein (without the relevant Lender being
obligated to observe the sharing provisions referred to in Section 2.09) or (y) cause a Lender or
third party to purchase the relevant Loan, at par plus accrued and unpaid interest to such date
plus any applicable funding breakage costs set forth in Section 2.02.
(e) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the
Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, at
its address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing
such payment. In the case of any payment hereunder or under the Notes or any other documents to be
delivered hereunder by or on behalf of the Borrower, if the Borrower determines that no Taxes or
Other Taxes are payable in respect thereof, the Borrower shall, at the request of the
Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders, furnish, or cause the payor to furnish,
32
to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes or Other Taxes.
(f) The obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.12 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable under the
Loan Documents.
(g) In the event that an additional payment is made under this Section 2.12 (a), (b) or (c)
for the account of any Lender and such Lender, in its sole discretion, determines that it has
finally and irrevocably received or been granted a credit against or release or remission for, or
repayment of, any tax paid or payable by it in respect of or calculated with reference to the
deduction or withholding giving rise to such payment, such Lender shall, to the extent that it
determines that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such credit,
relief, remission or repayment, pay to the Borrower such amount as such Lender shall, in its sole
discretion, have determined to be attributable to such deduction or withholding and which will
leave such Lender (after such payment) in no worse position than it would have been in if the
Borrower had not been required to make such deduction or withholding, provided that the
Borrower, upon the request of such Lender agrees to repay the amount paid over to it (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the such
Lender in the event such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender to claim any tax credit or to
disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or
require any Lender to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other
credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.
(h) Each Lender, other than a Mexican Financial Institution or an Export Credit Agency, from
time to time, but at least 10 Business Days before the next succeeding date upon which a payment is
due hereunder, will notify the Borrower if such Lender fails to maintain residency requirements as
provided in Section 2.12(d) hereof.

Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) for the Borrower’s general corporate purposes,
including spectrum acquisition and capital expenditures.

SECTION 2.15. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain at any time any
payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or
otherwise, other than (i) as a result of an assignment pursuant to Section 8.07 or (ii) payments
made pursuant to Section 2.08(c)) (a) on account of Obligations due and payable to such Lender
hereunder and under the Notes at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the
proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to
(ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the
Notes at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders
hereunder and under the Notes at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time or (b) on
account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the Notes
at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such
Obligations owing to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing
(but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the Notes at such time) of payments on
account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the
Notes at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time, such Lender shall forthwith
purchase from the other Lenders such interests or participating interests in the Obligations due
and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing
Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however,
that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing
Lender, such purchase from each other Lender shall be rescinded and such other Lender shall repay
to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such
35
Lender’s ratable share (according
to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Lender to (ii) the aggregate purchase
price paid to all Lenders) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable
share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender’s required repayment to
(ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid
or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. For the purposes
of this Section 2.15, the respective ratable shares shall be determined by the Administrative Agent
by converting the Tranche B Loans, the Tranche C-1 Loans and the Tranche C-2 Loans into Dollars
based on the USD Equivalent thereof as of the Closing Date. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so
purchasing an interest or participating interest from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15
may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the
right of set-off) with respect to such interest or participating interest, as the case may be, as
fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such interest or
participating interest, as the case may be.
SECTION 2.16. Tranche A-3 Commitments (a) The Borrower may, at any time but in any
event not more than once in any calendar year, prior to the Maturity Date for the Tranche A Loans,
by notice to the Administrative Agent, request that the Lenders make a further commitment in the
aggregate amount of $25,000,000 or an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof (each a
“Commitment Increase”, and the sum of all Commitment Increases at any given time being the
“Tranche A-3 Commitments”) to be effective as of a date that is at least 90 days prior
to the scheduled Maturity Date for the Tranche A Loans then in effect (the “Increase Date”) as
specified in the related notice to the Administrative Agent; provided however that on the
date of any request by the Borrower for a Commitment Increase and on the related Increase Date the
applicable conditions set forth in Article III shall be satisfied.
(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of a request by the Borrower
for a Commitment Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amount of such requested
Commitment Increase, (ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date (which shall be earlier
than the Increase Date) by which Lenders wishing to participate in the Commitment Increase must
commit to an increase in the amount of their commitments (the “Commitment Date”). Each
Lender that is willing to participate in such requested Commitment Increase (each an
“Increasing Lender”) shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to
increase its commitment. If the Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that they are willing to
increase the amount of their respective commitments by an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount
of the requested Commitment Increase, the requested Commitment Increase shall be allocated among
the Lenders willing to participate therein in such amounts as are agreed between the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent.
(c) Promptly following each Commitment Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrower as to the amount, if any, by which the Lenders are willing to participate in the requested
Commitment Increase. If the aggregate amount by which the Lenders are willing to participate in
any requested Commitment Increase on any such Commitment Date is less than the requested Commitment
Increase, then the Borrower may extend offers to one or more Eligible Assignees to participate in
any portion of the requested Commitment Increase that has not been committed to by the Lenders as
of the applicable Commitment Date; provided,
36
however, that the Tranche A-3
Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of $5,000,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.
(d) On each Increase Date, each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in a
requested Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.16(b) (each such Eligible Assignee, an
“Assuming Lender”) shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date
and the Tranche A-3 Commitment of each Increasing Lender for such requested Commitment Increase
shall be so increased by such amount (or by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the
last sentence of Section 2.16(b)) as of such Increase Date; provided, however, that
the Administrative Agent shall have received on or before such Increase Date the following, each
dated such date:
(i) an opinion of counsel for the Borrower, in substantially the form of Exhibit H
hereto;
(ii) an assumption agreement from each Assuming Lender, if any, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (each an
“Assumption Agreement”), duly executed by such Eligible Assignee, the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower; and
(iii) confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount of its
Tranche A-3 Commitment in a writing reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent.
On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the immediately
preceding sentence of this Section 2.16(d), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders
(including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) and the Borrower, on or before 1:00 P.M. (New
York City time), by telecopier, of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such
Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each
Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender on such date. Each Increasing Lender and each Assuming
Lender (together, the “Tranche A-3 Banks”) shall, before 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on
the Increase Date, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the
Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, in the case of such
Assuming Lender, an amount equal to such Assuming Lender’s ratable portion of the Borrowings then
outstanding (calculated based on its Tranche A-3 Commitment as a percentage of the aggregate
Tranche A-3 Commitments outstanding after giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase) and,
in the case of such Increasing Lender, an amount equal to the excess of (i) such Increasing
Lender’s ratable portion of the Borrowings then outstanding (calculated based on its Tranche A-3
Commitment as a percentage of the aggregate Tranche A-3 Commitments outstanding after giving effect
to the relevant Commitment Increase) over (ii) such Increasing Lender’s ratable portion of the
Borrowings then outstanding (calculated based on its Tranche A-1 Commitment as a percentage of the
aggregate Tranche A-1 Commitments). After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds from
each such Increasing Lender and each such Assuming Lender, the Administrative Agent will promptly
thereafter cause to be distributed like funds to the other Lenders for the account of their
respective Applicable Lending Offices in an amount to each other Lender such that the aggregate
amount of the outstanding Tranche A-3 Loans owing to each Lender after giving effect to such
distribution equals such Lender’s ratable
37
portion of the Borrowings then outstanding (calculated
based on its Tranche A-3 Commitment as a percentage of the aggregate Tranche A-3 Commitments).

(f) There is no pending or to the best knowledge of the Borrower or its Material
Subsidiaries, threatened action, suit, investigation, litigation or proceeding (including,
without limitation, any Environmental Action) affecting any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator that (i) if adversely
determined, would be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, except as disclosed in
Schedule 3.01(c) or (ii) purports to affect the legality, validity or enforceability of
any Loan Documents, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(g) The Borrower is not engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose
of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the
Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal Reserve System), and no proceeds of the Loans will
be used to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the
purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock.
(h) Each Loan Party and each of their respective Subsidiaries has filed, has caused
to be filed or has been included in all tax returns (national, departmental, local,

related liabilities and other charges (including interest and penalties) due with respect
to the years covered by such returns, except where such taxes or liabilities are being
contested in good faith and by proper proceedings.

compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and requirements of

42
properties or to the conduct of its business, Environmental Laws, and laws with
respect to social security and pension fund obligations, final judgments and court
orders.)
(j) Set forth on Schedule 4.01(j) hereto is a complete and accurate list of all
Material Contracts of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, entered into after October 27,
2004 showing as of the date hereof the parties, subject matter and term thereof. Each
such Material Contract has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all parties
thereto, has not been amended or otherwise modified in any material respect, is in full
force and effect and is binding upon and enforceable against all parties thereto in
accordance with its terms, and there exists no default by the Borrower under or with
respect to any of its material contractual obligations in any Material Contract that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(k) To the best of any Loan Party’s knowledge, no income, stamp or other taxes (other
than taxes on, or measured by, net income or net profits) or levies, imposts, deductions,
charges, compulsory loans or withholdings whatsoever are or will be, under applicable law
in Mexico, imposed, assessed, levied or collected by Mexico or any political subdivision
or taxing authority thereof or therein either (i) on or by virtue of the execution,
delivery, performance, enforcement or admissibility into evidence of any Loan Document or
(ii) on any payment to be made by any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document other than
withholding taxes payable by any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document on payments of
interest, commissions and fees, made by any Loan Party to a non resident of Mexico for tax
purposes.
(l) Each Loan Party is subject to civil and commercial law with respect to its
obligations under each Loan Document to which it is party, and the execution, delivery and
performance by such Loan Party of each Loan Document to which it is party constitute
private and commercial acts (jure gestionis acts) rather than public or
governmental acts (jure imperii acts). None of the Loan Parties or any of
their Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties has any immunity from
jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether through service or
notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or
otherwise) under the laws of Mexico. Each Loan Party’s choice of governing law as New
York law and its consent to submission to the jurisdiction of New York federal and state
courts under the Loan Documents is legal, valid and binding under Mexican Law.
(m) The obligations of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries under the Loan
Documents constitute direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and do rank and will rank pari passu in
priority of payment and in all other respects with all other present and future senior
unsecured Debt of the Borrower and such Subsidiaries.
(n) Each Loan Document is in proper legal form under the law of Mexico for the
enforcement thereof against each Loan Party which is party thereto under the law of
Mexico; and to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence
of each such Loan Document in Mexico it is not necessary that any such Loan Document or
any other document be registered, filed or recorded with any court or
43
other authority in Mexico or that any stamp or similar tax be paid on or in respect
of any Loan 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
document 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 any Loan Party of
a state or United States federal court in the State of New York, United States is capable
of being enforced in the courts of Mexico; except that if any legal proceedings for the
enforcement of such judgment are brought in the courts of Mexico, a Spanish translation of
such judgment prepared by a Mexican court-approved translator would have to be approved by
the court after the defendant has been given an opportunity to be heard with respect to
the accuracy of the translation, and the proceedings would thereafter be based on the
translated judgment. There is no requirement for the Administrative Agent, nor any
Lender, to be licensed or qualified with any governmental authority solely by reason of
the execution and performance of the Loan Documents.
(o) The Borrower, a nonbank entity located outside the United States, understands
that it is the policy of the Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal Reserve System that
extensions of credit by international banking facilities (as defined in Section 204.8(a)
of Regulation D) may be used only to finance the non-U.S. operations of a customer (or its
foreign affiliates) located outside the United States as provided in Section
204.8(a)(3)(vi) of Regulation D. Therefore, the Borrower acknowledges that the proceeds
of the Loans by the international banking facility of any of the Lenders (as defined in
Section 204.8(a) of Regulation D) will be used solely to finance the Borrower’s operations
outside the United States or that of the Borrower’s foreign affiliates.
(p) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company”, or
an “affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment
company”, as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(q) No information, exhibit or report furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to
all of the Lenders in connection with the negotiation of any Loan Document or pursuant to
the terms of any Loan Document contained any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made therein not
misleading.
(r) There are no strikes, slowdowns or work stoppages, and, to the best knowledge of
the Borrower, none is currently threatened, by the employees of the Borrower or any of its
Material Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such
powers and discretion under this Agreement and the Notes as are delegated to the Administrative

required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain
from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the
instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and
all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be
required to take any action
that exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this
Agreement or applicable law. The Administrative Agent agrees to give to each of the Lenders prompt
notice of each notice given to it by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
SECTION 7.02. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its

validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, any Loan Document or any other

respect of any Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or
writing (which may be by telegram, telecopy or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or
sent by the proper party or parties.
SECTION 7.04. Citibank, N.A. and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitments, the
Loans made by it and the Notes issued to it, Citibank, N.A. shall have the same rights and powers
under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an
Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly
indicated, include Citibank, N.A. in its individual capacity. Citibank, N.A. and its affiliates
may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment
banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party, any of
its Subsidiaries and any Person that may do business with or own securities of such Loan Party or
any such Subsidiary, all as if
Citibank, N.A. was not the Administrative Agent, and without any duty to account therefor to
the Lenders.
SECTION 7.05. Lender Credit Decision. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders and based on
the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it
has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.
Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or
any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the
time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Agreement.
SECTION 7.06. Indemnification. (a) Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify the
Administrative Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such
Lender’s ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
56
disbursements of any kind
or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative
Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by
the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”);
provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting from such Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as
found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation
of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for
its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of
counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 8.04, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is
not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any
investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 7.06
applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any of the Lenders
or any other Person.
(b) For purposes of this Section 7.06, the Lenders’ respective ratable shares of any amount
shall be determined, at any time, according to the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of the
Loans outstanding at such time and owing to the respective Lenders, and (ii) the aggregate unused
portions of their respective Commitment at such time; provided, however, that the
respective ratable shares shall be determined by the Administrative Agent by converting the Tranche
B Loans, the Tranche C-1 Loans or the Tranche C-2 Loans, as the case may be, into Dollars based on
the USD Equivalent thereof as of the Closing Date. The failure of any Lender to reimburse the
Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid
by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of
its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its ratable share of such
amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse the
Administrative Agent for such other Lender’s ratable share of such
amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender hereunder, the
agreement and obligations of each Lender contained in this Section 7.06 shall survive the payment
in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents.
SECTION 7.07. Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by
giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with
or without cause by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required
Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor
Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted
such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of
resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the
retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of all of the Lenders, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United
States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000.
Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor
Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with
all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and
the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the
Loan Documents. If within 45 days after written notice is given of the
57
retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation or removal under this Section 7.07 no successor Administrative Agent shall have
been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (a) the retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal shall become effective, (b) the retiring
Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan
Documents and (c) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring
Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders
appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. After any retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent shall have become effective, the
provisions of this Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

(e) The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the
Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of
the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender
agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have
been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such
Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent
in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail
address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the
foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.
(f) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give
any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in
such Loan Document.
SECTION 8.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any of the Lenders to
exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a
waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
SECTION 8.04. Costs and Expenses. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse on
demand (i) all customary reasonable and duly documented legal and other out-of-pocket costs and
expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Bookrunners in connection with the preparation,
execution, delivery, negotiation and syndication of the Loan Documents (including the reasonable
and duly documented fees and expenses of special New York and Mexican counsel to the Administrative
Agent), (ii) all reasonable and duly documented legal and other out-of-pocket costs and expenses of
the Administrative Agent in connection with the modification, administration, waiver or amendment
of the Loan Documents (including reasonable and duly documented fees and expenses of special New
York and Mexican counsel to the Administrative Agent) and (iii) all reasonable and duly documented
legal and other out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and each of the
Lenders in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents, whether in any action, suit or
litigation, or any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights
generally (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the
Administrative
60
Agent and each of the Lenders in connection with the enforcement of rights under
this Section 8.04(a)).
(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless the Administrative
Agent, each of the Lenders and each of their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, and shall
pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, claims, liabilities and reasonable and duly
documented expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that
may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out
of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any
investigation by governmental or regulatory authority, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a
defense in connection therewith) (i) the Tranche A-1 Facility, the Tranche A-2 Facility, the
Tranche A-3 Facility, the Tranche B Facility, the Tranche C-1 Facility or the Tranche C-2 Facility,
as the case may be, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans, the Loan Documents or
any of the transactions contemplated thereby. The Borrower also agrees not to assert any claim
against the Administrative Agent, any Lenders or any of their Affiliates, or any of their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, on any theory of liability, for
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the
Loans, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans, the Loan Documents or any of the
transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents,
provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender with respect to the indemnified liabilities, and shall not be barred from
asserting claims, arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative
Agent or any such Lender, as the case may be.
(c) If any payment of principal of any Loans is made by the Borrower to or for the account of
any of the Lenders other than on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loans, as a result of
a payment pursuant to Section 2.08 or 2.10, acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to
Section 6.01 or for any other reason, or if the Borrower fails to make any payment or prepayment of
any Loans for which a notice of prepayment has been given or that is otherwise required to be made,
whether pursuant to Section 2.05, 2.08, 6.01 or otherwise, the Borrower shall, upon demand by any
of the Lenders, pay to such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any
additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or
failure to pay or prepay, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated
profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or
other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Loans and in respect of any Tranche B
Loans, as such costs are calculated using the Discount Rate.
(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Loan Party hereunder or
under any other Loan Document, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in Sections
2.08 and 2.11 and this Section 8.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and
all other amounts payable hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 8.05. Right of Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and each of their
61
respective
Affiliates are hereby 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 indebtedness at any time owing by the Administrative Agent and
each of the Lenders or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against
any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and
any Note held by the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders, whether or not the
Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall have made any demand under this Agreement or
such Note and although such obligations may be unmatured. The Administrative Agent and each of the
Lenders agree promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application, provided that
the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The
rights of the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates under
this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other
rights of set-off) that the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and their respective
Affiliates may have.
SECTION 8.06. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective (other than Section 2.01, which shall only become
effective upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.01) when it shall
have been executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders, and
thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
and each of the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall
not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders.
SECTION 8.07. Assignments and Participations. (a) Each Lender may assign to one or
more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Tranche A-1 Commitment, the Tranche A-2
Commitment, the Tranche X-0 Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx X Commitment, the Tranche C-1 Commitment or the
Tranche C-2 Commitment, as the case may be, the Loans owing to it and the Tranche A-1 Notes,
Tranche A-2 Notes, Tranche A-3 Notes, Tranche B Notes, Tranche C-1 Notes or the Tranche C-2 Notes,
as the case may be, or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) except in the
case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender, an
Affiliate of any Lender or an Approved Fund of any Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Commitments being assigned
to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment
and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than in the case of
Tranche A-1 Loans, Tranche A-2 Loans or Tranche A-3 Loans, U.S. $5,000,000 or an integral multiple
of U.S. $1,000,000 in excess thereof, in the cases of Tranche B Loans, Tranche C-1 Loans or Tranche
C-2 Loans, Ps$50,000,000 or an integral multiple of Ps$10,000,000 in excess thereof, (ii) each such
assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, and (iii) so long as no Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, no such assignments shall be permitted without the prior written consent of the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent (each of which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld);
provided, however, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an
assignment if it fails to respond to a written request for a consent within 10 (ten) Business Days
of delivery of such request; and provided further that the Lenders shall also have
the right, without any consent, to
62
assign all or part of their rights or obligations under the Loan
Documents, if a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to any
Person.
(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, such Lender assignor thereunder
and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as
follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes
no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements,
warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution,
legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any
other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of
any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant
hereto or thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement,
together with copies of the financial statements
referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and
Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon such assigning Lender
and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; and (v) such
assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by
the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(c) Within five Business Days after its receipt of notice of an assignment hereunder and any
Tranche A-1 Notes, Tranche A-2 Notes, Tranche A-3 Notes, Tranche B Notes, Tranche C-1 Notes or
Tranche C-2 Notes, as the case may be, or Notes subject to such assignment, the Borrower, at its
own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Lender assignee in exchange for each surrendered
Tranche A-1 Note, Tranche A-2 Note, Tranche A-3 Note, Tranche B Note, Tranche C-1 Note or Tranche
C-2 Note, as the case may be, a new Tranche A-1 Note, Tranche A-2 Note, Tranche A-3 Note, Tranche B
Note, Tranche C-1 Note or Tranche C-2 Note, as the case may be, to the order of such assignee in an
amount equal to the outstanding amount of the Tranche A-1 Note, Tranche A-2 Note, Tranche A-3 Note,
Tranche B Note, Tranche C-1 Note or Tranche C-2 Note, as the case may be, assumed by it pursuant to
such Assignment and Acceptance. Such new Tranche A-1 Note, Tranche A-2 Note, Tranche A-3 Note,
Tranche B Note, Tranche C-1 Note or Tranche C-2 Note, as the case may be, or Notes shall be in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Tranche A-1
Note, Tranche A-2 Note, Tranche A-3 Note, Tranche B Note, Tranche C-1 Note or Tranche C-2 Note, as
the case may be, or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and
shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit X-0, Xxxxxxx X-0, Exhibit A-3, Exhibit B,
Exhibit C-1 or Exhibit C-2, as the case may be, hereto.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 8.02(a) copy
of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments under the Facility of,
and principal amount of the Loans owing under the Facility to, each Lender from time to time (the
“Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error, and the Borrower, and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose
63
name is
recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register
shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time from time to
time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e) The Lenders may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than any
Loan Party or any of its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, any Loans owing
to it and the Tranche A-1 Notes, Tranche A-2 Notes, Tranche A-3 Notes, Tranche B Notes, Tranche C-1
Notes or Tranche C-2 Notes, as the case may be, or Notes held by it); provided,
however, that (i) each of the Lenders’ obligations under this Agreement (including, without
limitation, its Commitment to the Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) each of the
Lenders shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations, (iii) each of the Lenders shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of
this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lenders in
connection with the Lenders’ rights and obligations under
this Agreement and (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any rights,
claims or causes of action against the Borrower, any Subsidiary or Affiliates or the Administrative
Agent or any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any
Note, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such
amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any other
amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone
any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any other amounts
payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation.
(f) Each of the Lenders may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed
assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 8.07, disclose to the assignee or participant
or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to the Borrower furnished to any of
the Lenders by or on behalf of the Borrower upon delivery to the Borrower by such assignee,
participant or proposed assignee or participant of a confidentiality agreement in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit G.
(g) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any of the Lenders may at
any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, the Loans owing to it and any Note held by it) in favor of any
Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal
Reserve System.
SECTION 8.08. Governing Law. This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
SECTION 8.09. Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the
Bookrunners, the Lead Arranger, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent and the Lenders
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
64
any regulatory authority; (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any
subpoena or similar legal process or, in the case of Export Development Canada, in accordance with
its internal disclosure policies; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) in connection with
the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or the enforcement of rights hereunder; (f) subject to confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement
containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 8.09 and substantially in the
form of Exhibit G hereto to (i) any purchaser or assignee of or participant in or any prospective
purchaser or assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement
or (ii) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such
contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any credit
derivative transaction relating to the Obligations; (g) with the consent of the Parent; (h) to the
extent such
Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as result of a breach of this Section
8.09 or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Bookrunners, the Lead Arranger, the
Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source
other than the Parent or its Subsidiaries; or (j) to any nationally recognized rating agency that
requires access to information about a Lender’s or its Affiliates’ investment portfolio in
connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or its Affiliates. To the extent that
disclosure of any Information is required pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above, so long as any of
the Administrative Agent, the Bookrunners, the Lead Arranger, the Syndication Agent, the
Documentation Agent or the Lender is not prohibited from so doing by any applicable laws, rules,
regulations, final judgments or court orders, such Administrative Agent, Bookrunners, Lead
Arranger, Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent or Lender will notify the Borrower thereof in
writing at its address for notices set forth in the Credit Agreement Section 8.02(a), provided that
the Borrower shall have no right to seek any action or remedy or have any claim or cause of action
against any of the Administrative Agent, the Bookrunners, the Lead Arranger, the Syndication Agent,
the Documentation Agent or the Lenders in the event that such Administrative Agent, Bookrunners,
Lead Arranger, Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent or Lender, as the case may be, shall fail to
so notify to the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information
furnished by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to any Lender, the Administrative Agent, the
Bookrunners, the Lead Arranger, the Syndication Agent or the Documentation Agent relating to the
Parent and its Subsidiaries or their business, other than any such information that is available to
the Administrative Agent, the Bookrunners, the Lead Arranger, the Syndication Agent, the
Documentation Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Parent and
it Subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in
this Section 8.09, 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, which in no event shall be less than a
reasonable degree of care.
(k) The undertakings of this Section 8.09 shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents
and/or the Facility.
SECTION 8.10. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when
so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one
and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page
65
to this Agreement
by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 8.11. Jurisdiction; Waiver of Immunities. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the jurisdiction of any
New York State court or federal court of the United States sitting in New York City, and any
appellate court from any thereof 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 this Agreement or the Notes, or for recognition or
enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in
any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of
the parties hereto 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.
(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints CT Corporation System with an office on the date
hereof at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, as its agent to
receive on behalf of the Borrower and its property service of copies of the summons and complaint
and any other process which may be served in any such action or proceeding. Such service may be
made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to the Borrower in care of the Process Agent
at the Process Agent’s above address, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs
the Process Agent to receive such service on its behalf and forward such service to the Borrower.
As an alternative method of service, the Borrower also irrevocably consents to the service of any
and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to the
Borrower at its address specified in Section 8.02.
(c) Each of the parties hereto 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 this Agreement or the
Notes in any New York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court and for purposes of the submission to
jurisdiction agreed in paragraph (a) above, to the forum to which it may be entitled to pursuant to
applicable law.
(d) To the extent that the Borrower has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from
jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process in the U.S. or Mexico (whether through service
or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise)
with respect to itself or its property, the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives
such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement and the Notes and, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, agrees that the waivers set forth in this subsection (d)
shall have the fullest scope permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the
United States and are intended to be irrevocable for purposes of such Act.
(e) For purposes of notices in Mexico in the event of lawsuits and collections, the Borrower
hereby irrevocably designates the following domicile:
66
Blvd. X. Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xx. 00, 0x.
Xxxx Xxxxx de Chapultepec, X.X. 00000,
Xxxxxx, X.X. Xxxxxx
Attention: Vice President and General Counsel
(f) Nothing in this Section 8.11 shall affect the right of any of the Lenders to serve legal
process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of any of the Lenders
to bring any action or proceeding against the Borrower or its property in the courts sitting
in Mexico.
SECTION 8.12. Judgment Currency. (a) If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in
any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under the Notes in U.S. Dollars 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 Lenders could purchase U.S. Dollars with such other currency in New York City on
the Business Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable judgment is given.
(b) The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any of the Lenders hereunder
or under the Notes shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, be
discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Lenders of any sum
adjudged to be so due in such other currency, any of the Lenders may, in accordance with normal,
reasonable banking procedures, purchase U.S. Dollars with such other currency. If the amount of
U.S. Dollars so purchased is less than the sum originally due to any of the Lenders, in U.S.
Dollars, the Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate
obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Lenders against such loss.
SECTION 8.13. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE BORROWER AND EACH OF THE LENDERS
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM
(WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
NOTES OR THE ACTIONS OF THE LENDERS IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT
THEREOF.
SECTION 8.14. Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender to which the Patriot Act applies and
the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan
Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and
record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address
of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent,
as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. The Borrower shall,
and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, provide, to the extent commercially reasonable, such
information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender in order to assist the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with
the Patriot Act.
SECTION 8.15. No Novation, Etc.
67
(a) The terms and conditions of the Original Agreement are amended as set forth herein, and
restated in their entirety and superseded by, this Agreement. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be deemed to be a novation (novación) of any of the obligations under the
Original Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other document or
instrument executed in connection herewith, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
incurrence of obligations hereunder shall be in substitution for, but not in payment of, the
obligations owed by the Loan Parties under the Original Agreement.
(b) From and after the execution of this Agreement, each reference to the “Agreement”, “Credit
Agreement” or other reference originally applicable to the Original Agreement contained in any Loan
Document shall be a reference to this Agreement, as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise
modified from time to time.
