Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral and
Intercreditor Agent and any duly authorized officer or agent of the Collateral

any
liability with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted in reliance

acting together, shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to
appoint a successor, and if no successor shall have been so appointed and shall
have accepted such appointment within 45 days after the retiring Collateral
and
Intercreditor Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties,
appoint a successor Collateral and Intercreditor Agent which shall be a bank
having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 with an office
in

Affiliate of any such bank. If a successor Collateral and Intercreditor Agent

not appointed within 45 days after receipt by the Creditor Representatives
and
the Company of the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent’s notice of resignation,
the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent may also petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral and Intercreditor
Agent.

its
appointment as Collateral and Intercreditor Agent hereunder, a successor
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with

resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 2.3 and of
Section 2.4 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent, its sub-agents and their respective
Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of

of
the provisions contained in this Agreement shall require the Collateral and
Intercreditor Agent to expend, advance or risk its own funds or otherwise incur
personal financial liability in the performance of its duties or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for
believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such
22
liability
is not satisfactorily assured to it. The Collateral and Intercreditor Agent
shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the powers vested in it by
this
Agreement at the request, order or direction of any of the Secured Parties
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement unless such Secured Parties shall
have offered to the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent security or indemnity
satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be
incurred thereby.

agreement or a deposit account control agreement and, under the terms of such
securities account control agreement or deposit account control agreement,

Collateral and Intercreditor Agent would upon delivery of such notice incur
obligations to indemnify, hold harmless or reimburse the bank or securities
intermediary party to such agreement with which the applicable account is
maintained, the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent shall not be obligated to
comply with such request by such Voting Creditors unless and until such Voting
Creditors agree that they shall jointly and severally indemnify, and hold
harmless, the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent with respect to any such
obligations.
(b) Without
limitation of its indemnification obligations under any Collateral Document
or
Secured Creditor Document, each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to
indemnify the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent and its Affiliates against,
and
hold each of them harmless from, (i) any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable and documented fees,
disbursements and other charges of counsel, incurred by or asserted against
any
of them arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of, the
execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any other Collateral
Document or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating hereto
or thereto or to the Collateral, whether or not the Person seeking such
indemnification is a party to such Collateral Document; provided
that
such indemnity shall not, as to the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent and
its
Affiliates, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of
any such Person and (ii) any and all present or future claims or liability
for any recording, stamp, documentary, excise, transfer, sales, property or
similar taxes, charges or levies incurred in connection with this
Agreement.
(c) Any
such
amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Secured Obligations
secured by the Collateral Documents. The provisions of this Section 2.4
shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the
termination of this Agreement, any other Collateral Document or any Secured
Creditor Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
the
repayment of any of the Secured Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability
of any term or provision of this Agreement, any other Collateral Document or
any
Secured Creditor Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts
due
under this Section 2.4 shall be payable on written demand therefor and
shall bear interest at a rate of 3% per annum.
Section
3. Rights
to Collateral; Enforcement; Coordination.
3.1 Pari
Passu Rights. Each
Secured Party agrees that all of the Collateral is for the joint and
pari
passu
benefit
of all the Secured Parties in accordance with and subject to the terms of this
Agreement and the other Collateral Documents as security for the payment and
performance of the
23
Secured
Obligations, notwithstanding the date of the incurrence of the Secured
Obligations or the date, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection
of
any Liens granted to the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent for the benefit
of
the Secured Parties or to any Secured Party in the Collateral and
notwithstanding any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code, Mexican law or
any
other applicable law or decision thereunder.
3.2 Limits
on Exercise of Remedies. (a) Whether
or not any Insolvency Event shall have occurred involving the Company or any
Grantor, (i) except as expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement
upon
the instruction of the Required Creditors, the Secured Parties shall not
exercise or seek to exercise any Enforcement Action, institute any action or
proceeding with respect to any Enforcement Action (including without limitation
any action of foreclosure or the exercise of any right under any lockbox
agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or
arrangement to which any such Secured Party is a party), or contest, protest
or
object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the Collateral and
Intercreditor Agent or any other Enforcement Action or other action by the
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent, or object to the forbearance by the
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure
proceeding or action or any other Enforcement Action, (ii) subject to
clause (b) below, the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent shall have the
exclusive right to take Enforcement Actions and make determinations with respect
to whether and how to effect such Enforcement Actions and with respect to any
release, disposition, or restrictions relating to the Collateral in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents, without
any
consultation with or the consent of any Secured Party other than the Voting
Creditors, and (iii) subject to clause (b) below, the Voting Creditors
(pursuant to the terms hereof) shall have the exclusive right among the Secured
Parties to direct the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent’s exercise or
non-exercise of any Enforcement Action and any such determination; provided
that
none of the foregoing shall be construed to prevent the Collateral and
Intercreditor Agent from taking actions permitted to be taken by it in the
absence of receipt of any direction from the Required Creditors; and
provided further
that,
subject to the terms of Section 3.1, (x) upon the commencement of any proceeding
relating to any Insolvency Event involving the Company or any Grantor, any
Secured Party may file a claim or statement of interest with respect to any
Secured Obligation held by it, and (y) any Secured Party may take any action
(not adverse to the rights of the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent to
exercise, or the Required Creditors to direct the exercise of, any Enforcement
Action) in order to preserve or protect the Lien of the Collateral and
Intercreditor Agent on the Collateral.
(b) Upon
the
occurrence and during the continuance of a Collateral Event of Default, the
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent may exercise (or cause its agents to
exercise) in accordance with Section 3.5, any or all of the remedies available
to the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent (or to such agents) with respect
to
the Collateral. Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the sole basis
for any Enforcement Action by the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent hereunder
and under any other Collateral Document shall be the occurrence and continuance
of a Collateral Event of Default and that no default or event of default under
any other agreement (including any other Secured Creditor Documents) other
than
the Voting Creditor Documents shall be a basis for any Collateral Event of
Default.
(c) Each
of
the Secured Parties hereby covenants and agrees that:
(i) it
will
not seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any proceeding
relating to any Insolvency Event in respect of the Collateral, other than upon
the instruction of the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent or otherwise as
approved by the Required Creditors; provided
that if
the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent or any other Secured Party acting upon
approval of the Required Creditors shall seek relief from the automatic stay
or
any other stay in any proceeding relating to any Insolvency Event in respect
of
the Collateral, the request for such relief shall be made on behalf of all
Secured Parties (subject to their cooperation in joining in such request to
the
extent necessary for such request to be made on behalf of all
24
Secured
Parties) or the Creditor Representatives (on behalf of themselves and the
Secured Parties, if applicable) shall be afforded an opportunity to join in
or
make such request; and
(ii) it
will
not contest (or support any other Person contesting) (x) any request by or
on
behalf of the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent or any other Secured Party
acting upon approval of the Required Creditors for adequate protection or
(y) any objection by or on behalf of the Collateral and Intercreditor
Agent
or any other Secured Party acting upon approval of the Required Creditors to
any
motion, relief, action or proceeding based on such Person’s claiming a lack of
adequate protection; provided
that
in
the case of any such request or objection referred to in clause (x) or (y)
of
this sentence, either such request or objection shall be made on behalf of
all
Secured Parties (subject to their cooperation in joining in such request or
objection to the extent necessary for such request or objection to be made
on
behalf of all Secured Parties) or the Creditor Representatives (on behalf of
themselves and the Secured Parties, if applicable) shall be afforded an
opportunity to join in or make such request or objection on an equal and ratable
basis.
3.3 Incidents
of Sale.
In
connection with any Enforcement Action, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law:
(a) any
Secured Party or group of Secured Parties may bid for and purchase the property
offered by sale, and upon compliance with the terms of sale may hold and dispose
of such property; and
(b) the
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent, in its own name or pursuant to any power
of
attorney granted in or pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 7.2 of this
Agreement by the Grantors, but in any event on behalf of the corresponding
Grantor, may make all necessary deeds, bills of sale and instruments of
assignment and transfer of the property thus sold and execute any other
documents or agreements relating thereto and may substitute one or more Persons
with like power. If requested by the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent or
by
any purchaser, the relevant Grantor shall ratify and confirm any such sale
or
transfer by executing and delivering to the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent
or to such purchaser or purchasers all proper and reasonable deeds, bills of
sale, instruments of assignment and transfer and releases as may be designated
in any such request, and shall take all such other action as the Collateral
and
Intercreditor Agent, in its own discretion, or as any Voting Creditor
Representative may instruct in connection with any Enforcement Action determined
to be taken by the Required Creditors, reasonably deems necessary or advisable
in order that any sale or disposal of Collateral, after the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Collateral Event of Default, may be made in
compliance with applicable law.
3.4 Determinations
Relating to Collateral; Releases of Collateral. (a) In
the
event (i) the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent shall receive any written
request from any Grantor under any Collateral Document for consent or approval
with respect to any matter relating to any Collateral Document, any Collateral
or any Grantor’s obligations with respect thereto, (ii) there shall be due to or
from the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent under the provisions of any
Collateral Document any material performance or the delivery of any material
instrument or (iii) a Responsible Officer of the Collateral and Intercreditor
Agent shall become aware of any nonperformance by any Grantor of any covenant
or
any breach of any representation or warranty set forth in any Collateral
Document, then, in each such event, the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent
shall
advise the Voting Creditor Representatives of the matter or thing as to which
consent has been requested or the performance or instrument required to be
delivered or the nonperformance or breach of which the Collateral and
Intercreditor Agent has become aware. The Required Creditors shall have the
exclusive authority to direct the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent’s response
to any of the events or circumstances contemplated in clauses (i), (ii) and
(iii) above.
(b) If
in
connection with:
25
(i) any
Enforcement Action, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other
disposition of any Collateral;
(ii) any
Collateral Asset Sale or any sale for Fair Market Value of Obsolete
Equipment;
(iii) any
release of Collateral pursuant to Sections 7.5 or 7.6; or
(iv) any
other
request by any Grantor that any Collateral be released from the Liens thereon
granted under any Collateral Document;
the
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent releases fully or to any limited extent
any
Collateral from the Liens thereon granted under any of the Collateral Documents,
then such Liens shall to such extent be released with respect to such Collateral
and such release shall be binding upon all Secured Parties, and the Collateral
and Intercreditor Agent shall not have any liability to any Secured Party on
account of such release; provided
that, in
the case of any release made in connection with clause (ii) or (iii)
of
this Section 3.4(b), if such release is expressly permitted by the terms of
each
of the Voting Creditor Documents, then such release shall be binding upon all
Secured Parties and the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent shall not have any
liability to any Secured Party on account of such release, if the Collateral
and
Intercreditor Agent receives one or more Officer’s Certificates signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Company and any required Opinion of Counsel. If,
however, such release is not expressly permitted by the terms of each of the
Voting Creditor Documents or is made other than in connection with clauses
(ii)
and (iii) of this Section 3.4(b), then such release shall be binding upon all
Secured Parties and the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent shall not have any
liability to any Secured Party on account of such release, if the Collateral
and
Intercreditor Agent receives written consent from the requisite Required
Creditors pursuant to clause 1(e) of the definition thereof to such effect.
It
is understood that no such Officer’s Certificate or consent of the Required
Creditors shall be required for any release of Collateral expressly contemplated
and permitted by any Collateral Document to be automatically effective without
the necessity of any consent or delivery of any certificate or opinion, except
in the case of Sections 7.5 and 7.6 to the extent set forth therein, and the
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent may confirm any such release at the request
of any Grantor without liability to any Secured Party; provided,
that
the provisions of such Collateral Document and each Voting Creditor Document
are
complied with in connection with such release.
3.5 Cooperation;
Remedies Instruction. (a) Subject
to Section 3.2 hereof, each Trade Creditor agrees that it will not commence
or
join with any Person (other than any Voting Creditor Representative or the
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent, promptly upon the request of any of them)
in
commencing, any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action
or proceeding (including any Enforcement Action) with respect to any
Collateral.
(b) Each
of
the Voting Creditors and holders of Trade Payables hereby agrees that it will
not commence, or join with any Person in commencing, any Enforcement Action
with
respect to any Collateral except in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
(c) Upon
the
occurrence of a Collateral Event of Default, the Collateral and Intercreditor
Agent (acting at its own discretion or upon the instruction of any Voting
Creditor Representative), or any Voting Creditor Representative may serve a
notice (each, a “Remedies
Initiation Notice”)
on
each Voting Creditor Representative requesting that it obtain instructions
from
the Secured Parties for which it is Creditor Representative as to which
Enforcement Action(s) with respect to the Collateral, if any, such Secured
Parties wish the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent to take. There may be
multiple Remedies Initiation Notices with respect to the same Collateral Event
of Default and the Remedies Initiation Notices may propose various Enforcement
Actions for consideration. Each of the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent,
the
Voting Creditor Representatives and the Voting Creditors shall, in order to
26
achieve
a
coordinated approach to any Enforcement Action(s) following a Collateral Event
of Default, use commercially reasonable efforts to afford each other a
reasonable opportunity to meet and confer regarding the validity and anticipated
nature of any proposed Enforcement Action and each agrees to act in a
commercially reasonable manner in responding to any Remedies Initiation
Notice.
(d) Upon
the
occurrence and during the continuance of a Collateral Event of Default, no
Voting Creditor Representative or Voting Creditor shall direct the taking of
any
Enforcement Action other than with the written agreement of the Required
Creditors in respect of such Collateral Event of Default. Upon such agreement
and during the continuance of a Collateral Event of Default, any Voting Creditor
Representative may deliver on behalf of a group of Required Creditors an
instruction to the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent specifying any Enforcement
Action(s) to be taken (which instruction may be detailed as to the Enforcement
Action(s) to be taken or generally provide for the taking of all or a particular
category of available Enforcement Actions in the Collateral and Intercreditor
Agent’s discretion) and certifying as to the agreement by such Required
Creditors to the taking of such action (each, a “Remedies
Instruction”).
Upon
receipt of a Remedies Instruction and during the continuance of a Collateral
Event of Default, the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent shall promptly provide
a copy thereof to each Creditor Representative and to the Company and shall
promptly commence such Enforcement Action, to the maximum extent permitted
by
law.
(e) In
the
event that more than one group of Required Creditors delivers conflicting
Remedies Instructions, or otherwise in the event of any conflict among Remedies
Instructions given from time to time, the Remedies Instruction from the group
representing the greatest percentage of the aggregate then Outstanding Principal
under the Voting Creditor Documents shall govern; provided
that any
Remedies Instruction that provides for the initiation of any Enforcement Action
consisting of foreclosure or other sale of Collateral (pursuant to judicial
proceedings or otherwise) shall prevail over any Remedies Instruction not
providing for the initiation of any such action with respect to such Collateral,
regardless of Principal amount represented thereby. Once a Remedies Instruction
providing for the initiation of such foreclosure or other sale of Collateral
has
been received by the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent, it may not be rescinded
or modified, and no other Enforcement Action likely to impair or frustrate
the
Enforcement Action provided for in such Remedies Instruction may be initiated,
except pursuant to a Remedies Instruction delivered (i) in the case of such
a
Remedies Instruction given by a Multilateral Financial Institution in its
capacity as Required Creditor pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of
Required Creditors, by such Multilateral Financial Institution, or (ii) in
the
case of such a Remedies Instruction given by any other group of Required
Creditors, by a group of Required Creditors that includes Secured Parties
holding at least 66⅔% of the Voting Creditor Claims that were voted in favor of
delivering such original Remedies Instruction.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 3.5, promptly following the receipt
of
written notice of, or a Responsible Officer of the Collateral and Intercreditor
Agent otherwise having actual knowledge of, any Bankruptcy Event of Default,
the
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent shall subject to Section 2.3(j) hereof,
pending receipt of any Remedies Instruction from the Required Creditors, engage
in available Enforcement Actions and exercise other available remedies in the
exercise of its reasonable discretion for the protection of the interests of
the
Secured Parties, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
3.6 Amendments
to Collateral Documents.
The
Required Creditors shall have the exclusive authority to direct the Collateral
and Intercreditor Agent in writing to amend, or consent to any action by the
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent to amend, any provision of, or grant any
waivers or consents in respect of, any Collateral Document (other than this
Agreement, as to which Section 11.3 shall apply), without any consent or
approval of, or prior notice to, any other Secured Party.
27
3.7 Exercise
of Powers.
All of
the powers, remedies and rights of the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent as
set
forth in this Agreement shall be exercised by the Collateral and Intercreditor
Agent in respect of any Collateral Document as though set forth in full therein
and all of the powers, remedies and rights of the Collateral and Intercreditor
Agent as set forth in any Collateral Document shall be exercised from time
to
time as herein and therein provided.
Section
4. Accounts;
Distributions.
4.1 Collateral
Accounts.
The
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent shall deposit, promptly upon receipt thereof,
into a Dollar-denominated trust account (together with each other account
created pursuant to this Section 4.1, the “Collateral
Account”)
established with the Securities Intermediary, pursuant to Section 4.5, or any
Peso-denominated account opened by the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent with
any Mexican bank or institution established pursuant to Section 4.5 (which
account shall be deemed a Collateral Account), (i) the proceeds of any sale
or
foreclosure action taken pursuant to this Agreement or any other Collateral
Document and (ii) any monies otherwise received for satisfaction of
the
Secured Obligations, whether from the Collateral, the Company, the Guarantors,
any Affiliate of the Company or otherwise (and including, without limitation,
any dividends, lease payments or other proceeds in respect of any Collateral
and
any cash or other assets constituting Collateral or proceeds thereof held in
any
deposit accounts or securities accounts of any Grantor and any amounts
transferred from the Proceeds Account or Event of Loss Account, in each case
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Collateral Event of
Default); provided
that the
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent shall convert amounts received in any
currency other than Dollars into Dollars on or promptly following the day
received at the Actual Conversion Rate on the day of such conversion (and may
open an account, which shall be deemed a Collateral Account, if necessary to
receive funds in such other currency prior to conversion). All monies held
in
any Collateral Account shall be trust funds held by the Collateral and
Intercreditor Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties for the purpose
of
making payments therefrom in accordance with Section 4.2 and shall
constitute part of the Collateral. The Collateral and Intercreditor Agent shall
maintain such sub-accounts and records with respect to each Collateral Account
as will permit the segregation and allocation of proceeds of Collateral in
accordance with Section 4.2. The Collateral and Intercreditor Agent shall
establish a Peso-denominated Collateral Account, and in the case of any
Collateral Account established in connection with the Comegua Pledged Stock,
a
Balboa-denominated Collateral Account promptly following the Issue
Date.
4.2 Application
of Monies from a Collateral Account. (a) The
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent shall have the right at any time to apply
monies held by it in any Collateral Account to the payment of due and unpaid
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent Fees. Upon the receipt of notice of the
cessation of a Collateral Event of Default and the payment of all amounts due
under Paragraphs First, Second and Third below and the payment of all due and
unpaid amounts owed to any Secured Party in respect of any Secured Obligations,
the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent shall treat any proceeds of any
Collateral held in a Collateral Account in accordance with the provisions of
the
Collateral Documents and Secured Creditor Documents that would have been
applicable to proceeds of such Collateral had no Collateral Event of Default
occurred.
(b) After
the
occurrence and during the continuance of a Collateral Event of Default, all
remaining monies held by the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent in any
Collateral Account with respect to the Collateral shall, to the extent available
for distribution (it being understood that the Collateral and Intercreditor
Agent may liquidate investments prior to maturity in order to make a
distribution pursuant to this Section 4.2), be distributed (subject to and
in
accordance with the other provisions of this Section 4.2 and of Section 4.7)
by
the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent on each Distribution Date in the
following order of priority:
28
First:
to the
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent for any unpaid Collateral and Intercreditor
Agent Fees and to any Secured Party which has theretofore advanced or paid
any
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent Fees constituting administrative expenses
allowable under Section 503(b) of Title 11 of the United States Code
or
similar laws of other jurisdictions, an amount equal to the amount thereof
so
advanced or paid by such Secured Party and for which such Secured Party has
not
been reimbursed prior to such Distribution Date, and, if such monies shall
be
insufficient to pay such amounts in full, then ratably (without priority of
any
one over any other) to such Secured Parties in proportion to the amounts of
such
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent Fees advanced by the respective Secured
Parties and remaining unpaid on such Distribution Date;
Second:
to any
Secured Party which has theretofore advanced or paid any Collateral and
Intercreditor Agent Fees other than such administrative expenses, an amount
equal to the amount thereof so advanced or paid by such Secured Party and for
which such Secured Party has not been reimbursed prior to such Distribution
Date, and, if such monies shall be insufficient to pay such amounts in full,
then ratably (without priority of any one over any other) to such Secured
Parties in proportion to the amounts of such Collateral and Intercreditor Agent
Fees advanced by the respective Secured Parties and remaining unpaid on such
Distribution Date;
Third:
to the
payment of all reasonable and documented unpaid fees, expenses, reimbursements,
indemnifications and advancements of the Voting
Creditor Representatives to the extent certified in writing by such Voting
Creditor Representatives as relating to their activities in such capacity in
connection with this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents;
Fourth:
to each
Secured Party that holds Secured Obligations of any Class, the product of the
amount of the available monies multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which
is the unpaid Principal of such Secured Party’s Secured Obligations and the
denominator of which is the unpaid Principal of all Secured Parties’ Secured
Obligations, in each case on the Distribution Date; provided
that,
for purposes of the foregoing calculation, to the extent that the aggregate
Principal of the Secured Parties’ Secured Obligations of any Class exceeds the
Maximum Secured Principal Amount applicable to such Class, the unpaid Principal
of each Secured Obligation of such Class shall be permanently reduced (and
the
amount of such reduction recharacterized as an other Secured Obligation payable
pursuant to Paragraph Sixth, below) by a proportionate amount such that the
aggregate Principal of such Class is equal to the applicable Maximum Secured
Principal Amount;
Fifth:
to each
Secured Party that holds Secured Obligations of any Class, in an amount equal
to
all Interest then owing to it (reduced, in the case any Secured Obligation
of
such Class was reduced pursuant to the proviso in paragraph Fourth, on a
proportionate basis to the extent of the reduction in Principal pursuant to
such
paragraph, with the amount of such reduction recharacterized as an other Secured
Obligation payable pursuant to Paragraph Sixth, below) and, if such monies
shall
be insufficient to pay such amount to it and all interest then owing to all
other Secured Parties in full, then ratably (without priority of any one over
any other) to all Secured Parties in proportion to the unpaid amounts owing
to
each in respect of Interest on such Distribution Date;
Sixth:
to each
Secured Party that holds any other Secured Obligations (including Secured
Obligations constituting interest or principal, to the extent not payable
pursuant to the two preceding paragraphs), in an amount equal to all other
Secured Obligations then owing to it, whether or not then due and payable,
and,
if such monies shall be insufficient to pay such amounts to it and all other
Secured Obligations owing to all other Secured Parties in full, then ratably
(without priority of any one over any other) to all Secured Parties in
proportion to the
29
unpaid
amounts owing to each in respect of other Secured Obligations on such
Distribution Date; and
Seventh:
any
surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Grantors or their successors or
assigns or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as
a
court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
(c) The
term
“unpaid” for purposes of Section 4.2(b) means:
(i) in
the
absence of any Insolvency Event with respect to the relevant Grantor or
Grantors, all amounts of the relevant Secured Obligations (other than a
Contingent Secured Obligation) outstanding as of a Distribution Date (and for
the purpose of this provision, the amount of the Working Capital Lender Claims
then outstanding shall include any drawn but unreimbursed amounts under any
letter of credit), and
(ii) during
the pendency of a proceeding relating to any Insolvency Event with respect
to
the relevant Grantor or Grantors, all amounts allowed by the bankruptcy court
in
respect of the relevant Secured Obligations as a basis for distribution
(including estimated amounts, if any, allowed in respect of Contingent Secured
Obligations),
to
the
extent that prior distributions have not been made in respect
thereof.
(d) Subject
to Section 4.2(e), the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent shall make
all
payments and distributions under this Section 4.2 to the respective
Creditor Representatives of the Secured Parties, as applicable. Each such
Creditor Representative shall be responsible for ensuring that amounts
distributed to it are, if applicable, distributed promptly to the relevant
Secured Parties in the order of priority set forth herein or as otherwise
provided in the relevant Secured Creditor Documents.
(e) If
at any
time any monies collected or received by the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent
pursuant to this Agreement are distributable pursuant to this Section 4.2 to
any
Secured Party, the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent may distribute such monies
to the Creditor Representative of such Secured Party as provided in Section
4.2(d); provided
that
if
any Creditor Representative shall notify the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent
in writing that no provision is made under the relevant Secured Creditor
Documents for the application by such Creditor Representative of such monies
(whether because the relevant Secured Obligations have not become due and
payable or constitute Contingent Secured Obligations or otherwise) and that
such
Secured Creditor Documents do not effectively provide for the receipt and the
holding by such Creditor Representative of such monies pending the application
thereof, then the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent, after receipt of such
notification, may, in its discretion or at the written direction of such
Creditor Representative, invest such amounts in Cash Equivalents, and shall
hold
all such amounts so distributable and all such investments and the net proceeds
thereof solely as security for the relevant Secured Obligations and for no
other
purpose until such time as such Creditor Representative shall request in writing
the delivery thereof by the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent for application
pursuant to the Secured Creditor Documents; provided further
that
the
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent, in its sole discretion, may (i) restrict
such investments to Cash Equivalents that have a shorter duration and higher
credit quality than other Cash Equivalents and (ii) decline to invest any amount
that it expects to distribute within one Business Day. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if, at any time, all the relevant Secured Obligations in respect
of
which any monies and investments (and proceeds thereof) are held by the
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent pursuant to this Section 4.2(e) cease to
be
outstanding for any reason, then such monies and any monies that constitute
proceeds of such investments will be applied by the Collateral and Intercreditor
Agent in accordance with Section 4.2(b). The Collateral and Intercreditor Agent
shall not be responsible for any diminution in funds resulting from investments
made in Cash Equivalents or from holding such monies uninvested.
30
(f) Upon
receipt of proceeds causing amounts on deposit (including the value of Cash
Equivalents) in a Collateral Account to exceed US$10,000,000 (or such lesser
amount as requested at any time by any Voting Creditor Representative) and
the
continuance of any Collateral Event of Default, the Collateral and Intercreditor
Agent shall promptly designate a date for allocation and distribution of such
funds (such date to occur promptly following the notice procedure set forth
in
this Section 4.2(f), a “Distribution
Date”)
and
shall promptly request from each Creditor Representative (in accordance with
Section 2.3(d)) a certificate containing the amount such Creditor Representative
is entitled (on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties for which it serves
as
Creditor Representative) pursuant to each of Paragraphs Third, Fourth, Fifth
and
Sixth of Section 4.2(b), including the maximum ascertainable amount of any
Contingent Secured Obligation, if then ascertainable. The Collateral and
Intercreditor Agent shall request that such notice be provided within 10 days
after delivery of its request and the Creditor Representatives shall provide
such notice within such time period. To the extent the Collateral and
Intercreditor Agent does not receive any such notice from a Creditor
Representative, it shall be entitled to request from, and rely on, an equivalent
notice provided by the Company in accordance with Section 2.2 or may elect,
in
its sole discretion, to rely on the information with respect to such Secured
Obligations most recently received by it pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
(and shall rely on such information to the extent it has requested notice from
the Company pursuant to this Section 4.2(f) and has not received such notice
within 10 days after delivery of such request). The Collateral and Intercreditor
Agent shall not be obligated to distribute any amounts on deposit in a
Collateral Account unless and until the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent
shall
have received notice in respect of all the Secured Obligations secured under
the
Collateral Documents or the notice periods provided for in the preceding
sentence shall have elapsed. On the Distribution Date, the Collateral and
Intercreditor Agent shall (i) determine the amount of cash to be received
in connection with any sale or liquidation of Cash Equivalents held in such
Collateral Account on such day and effect such sale and liquidation, and (ii)
calculate the aggregate amount in such Collateral Account after giving effect
to
clause (i) of this sentence and Section 4.2(a) that would be available for
such
allocation or distribution and make such allocation and distribution. All
distributions pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be made in Dollars;
provided
that, in
the event that payment in Dollars is illegal or impossible due to the Central
Bank of Mexico or any other Mexican authority having the power to regulate
foreign exchange generally not permitting the conversion of Pesos into Dollars
or the remittance of Dollars from Mexico, each Creditor Representative shall
have the option to elect to receive all or any portion of any payment due
hereunder in Pesos, and/or to cause the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent
to
continue to hold in trust for it in a Collateral Account any monies not
convertible into Dollars at such time. All calculations of amounts distributable
or allocable to any Peso-denominated Secured Obligations hereunder shall be
made
assuming the conversion to Dollars of all Peso-denominated Secured Obligations
at the Screen Conversion Rate applicable on the date of such distribution or
allocation; provided
that any
increase in the Dollar amount of any foreign currency denominated Secured
Obligation resulting from a change in exchange rates following the date of
Incurrence of such Secured Obligation will be treated as an other Secured
Obligation payable pursuant to Paragraph Sixth of Section 4.2(b)
thereof.
(g) All
distributions made by the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent pursuant to this
Section 4.2 shall be final (except in the event of manifest error) and the
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the
application by any Creditor Representative of any amount distributed to
it.
4.3 Event

Each
Grantor hereby agrees that it shall pay or cause to be paid to the Collateral
and Intercreditor Agent, and the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent agrees
that
it shall deposit, in a Dollar-denominated trust account (together with each
other account created pursuant to this Section 4.3, the “Event
of Loss Account”)
established with the Securities Intermediary pursuant to Section 4.5, or any
Peso-denominated account opened by the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent with
any Mexican bank or institution established pursuant to Section 4.5 (which
account shall be deemed an Event of Loss Account), any Net Cash Proceeds
received by the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent under any
31
insurance
policy relating to any Collateral or Real Property Collateral issued by or
for
the benefit of any Grantor or otherwise in respect of any Event of Loss;
provided
that the
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent shall convert amounts received in any
currency other than Dollars into Dollars on or promptly following the day
received at the Actual Conversion Rate on the day of such conversion (and may
open an account, which shall be deemed an Event of Loss Account, if necessary
to
receive funds in such other currency prior to conversion). All monies held
on
deposit in any Event of Loss Account shall constitute part of the Collateral;
provided,
that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, unless and until
the
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent has received written notice from any Voting
Creditor Representative that a Collateral Event of Default has occurred and
is
continuing (and the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent has not received notice
of the cessation of such Collateral Event of Default), the Collateral and
Intercreditor Agent shall release amounts on deposit in any Event of Loss
Account as directed in writing by the Company, which written notice shall be
accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the release and
application of such amounts is permitted by the terms of each of the Voting
Creditor Documents and is made in accordance with the terms, to the extent
applicable, of each of the Voting Creditor Documents (including, without
limitation, for application towards any repayment of Secured Obligations of
any
Secured Party or Parties as permitted under the terms of the applicable Voting
Creditor Documents, including pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer). Upon any such
release, any Lien on the amounts so released, granted to or held by the
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent shall be automatically released without
any
further act on the part of the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent. Upon receipt
by the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent of a written notice from any Voting
Creditor Representative that a Collateral Event of Default has occurred and
is
continuing and while it has not received notice of the cessation of such
Collateral Event of Default, the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent may, at
is
own discretion (but shall not be obligated to) or shall, upon the written
direction of the Required Creditors, exercise its powers under Section 3.1
hereof to liquidate investments credited to any Event of Loss Account and

Account”),

Peso-denominated account opened by the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent with
any Mexican bank or institution established pursuant to Section 4.5 (which
account shall be deemed a Proceeds Account), any Net Cash Proceeds received
by
the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent pursuant to any Collateral Asset Sale
or
any amounts required to be deposited therein pursuant to any Collateral
Document; provided
that the
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent shall convert amounts received in any
currency other than Dollars into Dollars on or promptly following the day
received at the Actual Conversion Rate on the day of such conversion (and may
open an account, which shall be deemed a Proceeds Account, if necessary to
receive funds in such other currency prior to conversion). All monies held
on
deposit in any Proceeds Account shall constitute part of the Collateral;
provided,
that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, unless and until
the
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent has received written notice from any Voting
Creditor Representative that a Collateral Event of Default has occurred and
is
continuing (and the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent has not received notice
of the cessation of such Collateal Event of Default), the Collateral and
Intercreditor Agent shall release amounts on deposit in any Proceeds Account
as
directed in writing by the Company, which written notice shall be accompanied
by
an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the release and application of such
amounts is permitted by the terms of each of the Voting Creditor Documents
and
is made in accordance with the terms, to the extent applicable, of the Voting
Creditor Documents (including, without limitation, for application towards
any
repayment of Secured Obligations of any Secured Party or Parties as permitted
under the terms of the applicable Voting Creditor Documents, including pursuant
to any Asset Sale Offer). Upon any such release, any Lien on the amount so
released, granted to or held by the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent shall
be
automatically released without any further act on the part of
32
the
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent. Upon receipt by the Collateral and
Intercreditor Agent of a notice from any Voting Creditor Representative that
a
Collateral Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and while it has
not
received notice of the cessation of such Collateral Event of Default, the
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent may, at its own discretion (but shall not
be
obligated to), or shall upon the written direction, of the Required Creditors,
exercise its powers under Section 3.1 hereof to liquidate investments credited
to any Proceeds Account and transfer all amounts held therein to any Collateral
Account for distribution pursuant to Section 4.2.
4.5 Establishment
of the Accounts.
The
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent shall establish each Dollar-denominated
Account with the Securities Intermediary at such time as such Account shall
be
required or be desirable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall
notify the Grantors and the Secured Parties upon such establishment and shall
direct relevant payments to such Account. Each agreement between the Securities
Intermediary and the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent establishing any Account
shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit J hereto or
in such
other form as shall be agreed by the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent and
the
Securities Intermediary, and shall provide, and each Grantor authorizes such
agreement to provide, that (i) such Account is a “securities account” (within
the meaning of the UCC) and the Securities Intermediary is acting thereunder
as
a securities intermediary (within the meaning of the UCC), (ii) the Collateral
and Intercreditor Agent shall have exclusive control over each Account and
shall
be the “entitlement holder” of such Account within the meaning of the UCC, (iii)
the Securities Intermediary shall not accept any instruction or entitlement
order from any Person other than the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent with
respect thereto, (iv) the name of each Account shall include a reference to

credited to an Account shall be treated as a financial asset (within the meaning
of the UCC) and (vii) for the avoidance of doubt, the Securities Intermediary
shall promptly comply with all instructions and entitlement orders given by
the
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent, including, without limitation, with respect
to the transfer or withdrawal of financial assets and amounts in any Account,
without further consent of any Grantor or any other Person. Any Account
established under any other jurisdiction shall be in the name of the Collateral
and Intercreditor Agent, under the sole and exclusive control of the Collateral
and Intercreditor Agent, and shall otherwise be established in a manner
sufficient to provide the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent with a perfected
security interest therein.
4.6 Investment
of Funds Deposited in Accounts. The
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent shall, at the written direction of the
Company or any Voting Creditor Representative, invest and reinvest monies on
deposit in any of the Accounts at any time in Cash Equivalents; provided
that the
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent, in its sole discretion, may (a) restrict
such investments and reinvestments to Cash Equivalents that have a shorter
duration and higher credit quality than other Cash Equivalents and
(b) decline to invest or reinvest any amount that it expects to distribute
from an Account within one Business Day. All such investments and the interest
and income received thereon and the net proceeds realized on the sale or
redemption thereof shall be credited by the Securities Intermediary to the
relevant Account as part of the Collateral. The Collateral and Intercreditor
Agent shall not be responsible for any diminution in funds resulting from such
investments or any liquidation prior to maturity.
4.7 Collateral
and Intercreditor Agent’s Calculations. In
making
the determinations and allocations required by Section 4.2, the Collateral
and Intercreditor Agent may conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability
to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance upon, information
supplied by any Secured Party (or its Creditor Representative) as to the amounts
of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect
to
any Secured Obligations; provided
that
nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts
claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied. All distributions
made by the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent pursuant to
33
Section
4.2 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction)
final (absent manifest error), and the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent shall
have no duty to inquire as to the application by any Creditor Representative
of
any amounts distributed to it for distribution to any Secured
Parties.

any Deposit Account or Securities Account with any financial institution in
the
United States that holds proceeds that are pledged under any Collateral Document
(other than this Agreement), to the extent such proceeds are not delivered
directly to the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent, it shall cause such
financial institution to

enter
into and deliver to the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent a deposit account
control agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit L (or otherwise

Form.
Each of

is in
proper legal form under the law of Mexico for the enforcement thereof against
each such Mexican Grantor under such law, and

the
translated documents.

Grantor is Solvent.
42
8.7 Foreign
Exchange Regulations.
There
are no foreign exchange controls or other similar legal restrictions in effect

such
Grantor of each of this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents, the use
of
such Intellectual Property and the conduct of such Grantor’s business and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and in the other Collateral
Documents does not, other than with respect to any foreclosure or other sale

Permitted Liens.
(b) The
Lien
of the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent in the Collateral constitutes, or
will

(d) None
of
the Collateral Permitted Liens in respect of the Collateral and Collateral

Assurances. (a) Each

Documents, the granting of the Liens in the Collateral and the filing of any
financing statements (including fixture filings) or other documents in

jurisdiction in which any of the Collateral is located or any political
subdivision thereof (including a municipality) shall levy, assess or charge
any
tax, imposition or assessment upon the Collateral Documents relating to the
obligations or the interest of the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent in any
of
the Collateral (other than income, franchise or similar taxes imposed on the
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent or on any Secured Party), the Company or
the
relevant Grantor shall pay all such taxes, assessments and impositions to,
for
or on account of the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent when due and payable

merger, acquisition of Replacement Collateral, receipt of non-cash consideration
pursuant to any Collateral Asset Sale or otherwise) any Collateral or any asset
required to be or to become part of the Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof
or the terms of any Secured Creditor Document, such Grantor shall, at its own
expense, (x) in the event that such asset shall not automatically be included
in
the Collateral pursuant to the terms of an existing Collateral Document or

Agent (acting at its own discretion or upon the instruction of any Voting
Creditor Representative) shall reasonably request:

in
its own discretion or in consultation with any one or more Voting Creditor
Representatives), as shall create a first-priority Lien (subject to the
Collateral Permitted Liens, other than under clause (6) of the definition
thereof) in such asset in favor of the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent
hereunder as security for the Secured Obligations;
(ii) as
of the
date of such acquisition, or as soon as practicable thereafter, cause any
filing, registration or other act to be taken in order to perfect such Lien,

action in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Collateral
Documents, each Grantor may (i) receive all cash dividends, interest
and
other payments made upon or in respect of the Pledged Stock (if any) and
exercise any voting and other rights in respect thereof (other than as

respect to any such Collateral or Collateral Asset that has the effect of
reducing materially the value of such Collateral or Collateral Asset or any
other Collateral or Collateral Asset.

Collateral under the Collateral Documents shall be noted as loss payee upon
all
property policies taken out by any Grantor relating to the Collateral, and
each
Grantor shall obtain a copy of or a certificate of such policies with the
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent named as loss payee thereunder, and take
any
action and execute and deliver any documents necessary for such appointment

not
be obligated to), without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability
of
the Grantors hereunder or any Collateral Event of Default, in its sole
discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium
and take any other actions with respect thereto as the Collateral and

9.10 Intellectual
Property.
(a) Each
Grantor agrees that it shall not use or consent to the use of any of the
Collateral in a manner constituting a material violation of any third party
Intellectual Property rights. To the extent the use of any Collateral by a
Grantor depends on a Grantor maintaining rights under a license agreement with
a
third party, such Grantor shall take commercially reasonable efforts to maintain
its rights under such license agreement (including by paying any royalty
payments due under any such license agreement) and shall promptly notify the
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent if it ceases to have rights under any such
license agreement.
(b) For
the
purpose of enabling the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent to exercise rights
and remedies under this Agreement or any other Collateral Document at such
time
as the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise
such rights and remedies, but solely to the extent that each Grantor owns and/or
has the authority to grant such rights, each
Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent an irrevocable,
non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other
compensation to any Person); provided
that,
with respect to any Intellectual Property owned by a third party, such license
may be exercisable upon the payment of a reasonable royalty to such third party,
to the extent such royalty is agreed to by the Collateral and Intercreditor
Agent (as determined by the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent in its own
discretion or in consultation with any one or more Voting Creditor
Representatives)), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to use,
license or sub-license any Intellectual Property incorporated in or relating
to
any Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever
the
same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all
media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all
computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.
The
use of such license by the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent shall be
exercised, at the option of the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent, upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of a Collateral Event of Default;
provided
that any
license, sub-license or other transaction entered into by the Collateral and
Intercreditor Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Grantors
notwithstanding any subsequent cure of a Collateral Event of Default. If and
to
the extent that the consent of a third-party is necessary to permit a Grantor
to
grant any such license respecting any particular third-party Intellectual
Property, then such Grantor shall, at its sole cost and expense, use its
reasonable best efforts to obtain such consent from the relevant third party.
If
a Grantor has complied with the foregoing but is unable to obtain such consent,
then the Grantor shall have no further obligations hereunder with respect to
the
granting of a license for such third-party Intellectual Property.

more Voting Creditor Representatives) may reasonably request.

which it may have or be charged with.
55
10.3 No
Waiver. (a) No
right of the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent to enforce any provision of
this
Agreement, any Secured Creditor Document or any other Collateral Document shall
at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act
on
the part of any Grantor or by any act or failure to act by any Secured Party
or
the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent, or by any noncompliance by any Person
with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, any Secured Creditor
Document or any other Collateral Document, regardless of any knowledge thereof
which the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent or any Secured Party may have
or be
otherwise charged with.
(b) Each
Secured Party agrees that none of the Voting Creditors, the Voting Creditor
Representatives and the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent shall have any
liability to any Secured Party and hereby waives any claim against any of the
Voting Creditors, the Voting Creditor Representatives and the Collateral and
Intercreditor Agent (i) arising out of any and all actions the Voting Creditors
or the Voting Creditor Representatives may take or permit or omit to take with
respect to the Voting Creditor Documents or the collection of the Voting
Creditor Claims or (ii) any of the matters described in Section 10.2. Each
Secured Party agrees that the Voting Creditors, the Voting Creditor
Representatives and the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent have no duty to
them
in respect of the maintenance or preservation of the Collateral or
otherwise.
10.4 Obligations
Unconditional.
Each
Grantor and each Secured Party agrees that all rights, interests, agreements
and
obligations of each such Party hereunder and under any Collateral Document
shall
remain in full force and effect irrespective of:
(a) any
lack
of validity or enforceability of any Secured Creditor Document or this
Agreement;
(b) any
change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of,
all
or any of the Secured Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other
modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course
of
conduct or otherwise, of the terms of any Secured Creditor Document or this
Agreement;
(c) any
exchange of any security interest in any Collateral or any other collateral,
or
any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course
of
conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the Secured Obligations or any guarantee
thereof;
(d) the
existence of any Insolvency Event in respect of any Grantor or any Secured
Party; or
(e) any
other
circumstances which otherwise might constitute a defense (other than payment)
available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Secured
Obligations or any Secured Party in respect of this Agreement.
Section
11. Miscellaneous.
11.1 Conflicts.
In the
event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the
provisions of any other Collateral Document or any Secured Creditor Document,
the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.
11.2 Continuing
Nature of this Agreement. (a) This
Agreement shall continue to be effective until the indefeasible payment in
full
of the Secured Obligations, subject to clause (b) below. The terms of this
Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in full force and effect during
any
Insolvency Event or proceeding relating thereto.
56
(b) If
any
Secured Party is required in any proceeding relating to any Insolvency Event
or
otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Grantor any amount
previously received from any of them (whether by or on behalf of any Grantor,
as
proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of set off or otherwise) (a
“Recovery”),
then
to the extent permitted under applicable law, the Secured Obligations of such
Secured Party shall be reinstated up to the amount of such Recovery. If this
Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, upon written notice
thereof from such Secured Party to such Grantor and the Collateral and
Intercreditor Agent, this Agreement and each of the Collateral Documents shall
be reinstated in full force and effect, to the extent permissible under
applicable law and such prior termination shall not diminish, release,
discharge, impair or otherwise affect the Obligations of the parties hereto
from
such date of reinstatement.
11.3 Amendments;
Waivers. With
the
written consent of the Required Creditors acting pursuant to clause (1)(e)
of the definition thereof, the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent and the
Grantors may from time to time amend, supplement or waive any provision hereof
or of any other Collateral Document; provided
that any
Grantor, the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent and the Voting Creditor
Representatives may amend or supplement this Agreement or any other Collateral
Document without the consent of the Required Creditors or any other Secured
Party in order (a) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency
herein, (b) to add to the covenants of the Grantors or provide additional
Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties or (c) to make any other
change that does not, in the opinion of each of the Voting Creditor
Representatives (which determination shall be conclusive), adversely affect
the
rights of any Voting Creditor in any material respect. No Grantor shall have
any
right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement or any other Collateral Document except to the
extent its rights are directly affected. Each Grantor hereby agrees to execute
and deliver any supplement or amendment to this Agreement or any other
Collateral Document or any other document or instrument necessary to effect
any
such amendment, supplement or waiver, or to evidence the appointment of a
successor Collateral and Intercreditor Agent pursuant to Section 2.3.
The
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent shall be entitled to receive from the
Grantors, at their sole expense, in connection with any amendment or
modification pursuant to this Section 11.3 an Opinion of Counsel, addressed
to
it, regarding compliance with the provisions of this Section 11.3. The
Collateral and Intercreditor Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, enter
into any such supplement, modification or amendment which affects the Collateral
and Intercreditor Agent’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement,
any other Collateral Document or otherwise.
11.4 Information
Concerning Financial Condition of the Company and the
Subsidiaries.
Each
Secured Party shall be responsible for keeping itself informed of (a) the
financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries and all endorsers and/or
guarantors of any Secured Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing
upon the risk of nonpayment of any Secured Obligations. Except to the extent
explicitly provided for herein, the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent and
each
Secured Party shall have no duty to advise any other Secured Party of
information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such
circumstances or otherwise. In the event the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent
or any Secured Party, in its or their sole discretion, undertakes at any time
or
from time to time to provide any such information to any other Secured Party,
it
or they shall be under no obligation (w) to make, and the Collateral and
Intercreditor Agent and any such Secured Party shall not make, any express
or
implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy,
completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided,
(x)
to provide any additional information or to provide any such information on
any
subsequent occasion, (y) to undertake any investigation or (z) to disclose
any
information which, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance
practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is otherwise required
to maintain confidential.
11.5 No
Fiduciary Relationship.
Each
of
the Grantors acknowledges that (i) none of the Collateral and Intercreditor
Agent, any Creditor Representative or any Secured Party has any fiduciary
57
relationship
with or fiduciary duty to any Grantor or any Affiliate of any Grantor arising
out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Collateral Document,
and (ii) the relationship between (x) the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent,
the Creditor Representatives and the Secured Parties, on the one hand, and
(y)
the Grantors and their respective Affiliates, on the other, in connection
herewith or therewith is solely that of creditor and debtor. In addition, none
of the parties to this Agreement have any fiduciary relationship with or
fiduciary duty to any other party to this Agreement arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Collateral Document. Neither this
Agreement nor any of the Collateral Documents or Secured Creditor Documents
creates a joint venture among the parties.
11.6 Notices.
All
notices to the Secured Parties permitted or required under this Agreement may
be
sent to their Creditor Representatives. Unless otherwise specifically provided
herein, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be
given shall be in writing and may be personally served, telecopied,
electronically mailed or sent by courier service or U.S. mail and shall be
deemed to have been given when delivered in person or when received by courier
service or U.S. mail registered or certified, or upon actual receipt of a

the signature pages hereto, or, as to each party, at such other address as

be designated by such party in a written notice to all of the other
parties.
11.7 Further
Assurances.
Each
Secured Party agrees that it shall take such further action and shall execute
and deliver to the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent such additional documents
and instruments (in recordable form, if requested) as the Collateral and
Intercreditor Agent may reasonably request to effectuate the terms of this
Agreement and the Liens contemplated hereby.
11.8 Governing
Law.
This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the
State of New York;
provided
that,
solely for purposes of any judicial resolution by a Mexican court of any
conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any
Collateral Document or Secured Creditor Document governed by Mexican law, this
Agreement shall be deemed to be governed by Mexican law to the extent necessary
to ensure that the purposes of Section 11.1 hereof are fulfilled.
11.9 Jurisdiction,
Service of Process and Venue.
(a) Each of
the
parties hereto agrees that any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this
Agreement or any judgment entered by any court in respect thereof may be brought
in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or
the
Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, and in the courts
of
its own corporate domicile, in respect of actions brought against it as a
defendant, and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of each such court for
the purpose of any such suit, action, proceeding or judgment; provided that
the
foregoing submission to jurisdiction by any Multilateral Financial Institution
does not constitute a waiver of any of its immunities under its Articles of
Agreement or of any other immunity to which it may be entitled under applicable
law.
(b) Each
of
the parties hereto (other than Vitro Packaging, the Collateral and Intercreditor
Agent, the Indenture Trustee and any Multilateral Financial Institution) hereby
irrevocably appoints CT Corporation System, in New York, New York (the
“Process
Agent”),
with
an office on the date hereof at 000 0xx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000,
as its agent and true and lawful attorney-in-fact in its name, place and stead
to accept on behalf of itself and its assets and properties service of copies
of
the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any
such
suit, action or proceeding brought in the State of New York. Such appointment
shall be irrevocable as long as any Secured Obligations owed to or by such
Person are outstanding, except that if for any reason the Process Agent
appointed hereby ceases to act as such, such Person will, by an instrument
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent, appoint
another Person in the Borough of
58
Manhattan,
New York as such Process Agent, subject to the approval of the Collateral and
Intercreditor Agent, the Indenture Trustee, the Senior Credit Agents (not to
be
unreasonably withheld). Each party hereto hereby further irrevocably consents
to
the service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in said courts by
the
mailing thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at its address
set forth beneath its signature hereto. Each of the parties hereto (other than
the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent, the Indenture Trustee and any
Multilateral Financial Institution) covenants and agrees that it shall take
any
and all reasonable action, including the execution and filing of any and all
documents, that may be necessary to continue the designation of a Process Agent
pursuant to this Section 11.9(b) in full force and effect and to cause the
Process Agent to act as such.
(c) Nothing
herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of any Person to serve
any such process or summons in any other manner permitted by applicable
law.
(d) Each
of
the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted
by
applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying
of
the venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or the other Collateral Documents brought in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York or in the Supreme Court
of
the State of New York, County of New York, and hereby further irrevocably waives
any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court
has
been brought in an inconvenient forum and any right to which it may be entitled
on account of place of residence or domicile. A final judgment in any such
suit,
action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any court to
the
jurisdiction of which any party hereto is or may be subject, by suit upon such
judgment.
11.10 Waiver
of Jury Trial.
EACH
OF
THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
BY
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER SECURITY DOCUMENTS
OR
THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
11.11 Waiver
of Immunity.
To
the
extent that any Grantor may be or become entitled to claim for itself or its
assets and properties any immunity on the ground of sovereignty or the like
from
suit, court jurisdiction, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of
execution of a judgment or execution of a judgment, and to the extent that
in
any such jurisdiction there may be attributed such an immunity (whether or
not
claimed), such Grantor hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and hereby
irrevocably waives such immunity with respect to its obligations under this
Agreement and the other Collateral Documents.
11.12 Use
of English Language.
This
Agreement has been negotiated and executed in the English language. All
certificates, reports, notices and other documents and communications given
or
delivered pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any
modifications or supplements hereto) shall be in the English language, or
accompanied by a certified English translation thereof. In the case of any
document originally issued in a language other than English (other than a
Collateral Document that is originally executed in Spanish), the English
language version of any such document shall for purposes of this Agreement,
and
absent manifest error, control the meaning of the matters set forth
therein.
11.13 Severability.
Any
provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective and severable from
the rest of this Agreement to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability
without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition
or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
59

SCHEDULE
8.5
QUALIFICATIONS
TO LEGAL FORM
a) |
The
enforceability of this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents
may be
subject to the limitations imposed by concurso
mercantil,
bankruptcy, suspension of payments, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, moratorium, tax, labor
and
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or
public order;
|
b) |
Provisions
of this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents granting
discretionary authority to any party thereto cannot be exercised
in a
manner inconsistent with relevant facts nor defeat any requirement
from a
competent authority to produce satisfactory evidence as to the basis
of
any determination. In addition, under Mexican law, the parties thereto
will have the right to contest in court any determination, notice
or
certificate purporting to be conclusive and
binding;
|
c) |
In
the event that proceedings are brought in Mexico seeking performance
of
any payment obligations of any party to this Agreement or to any
of the
other Collateral Documents, such party may discharge its obligations
by
paying any sums due in a currency other than Mexican currency, in
Mexican
pesos at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date when payment
is made,
as published by the Banco
de México in
the Diario
Oficial de la Federación;
provisions purporting to limit the ability of the Company or any
of the
other Grantors to discharge their obligations as described above,
or
purporting to give any Secured Party, the Collateral and Intercreditor
Agent or any other party an additional course of action seeking indemnity
or compensation for possible deficiencies arising or resulting from
variations in rate of exchange, may not be enforceable in
Mexico;
|
d) |
Covenants
in this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents which purport
to bind
any of the parties thereto on matters reserved by Mexican law to
shareholders, which require certain action of the shareholders or
which
purport to bind shareholders or directors of the Company or any of
the
other Mexican Grantors to vote or refrain from voting their shares,
or
take or abstain from taking certain actions, are not enforceable
in
Mexico;
|
e) |
Service
of process by mail or other means does not constitute personal service
under Mexican law and, since such service is considered to be a basic
procedural requirement under such law, if for purposes of proceedings
outside Mexico service of process is made by mail, a final judgment
based
on such service of process would not be enforced by the courts of
Mexico;
|
f) |
Pursuant
to the laws of Mexico, labor claims, claims of tax authorities for
unpaid
taxes, social security quotas, workers’ housing fund quotas and retirement
fund quotas are preferred by statute and will have priority over
claims of
other creditors;
|
g) |
Claims
may become barred under statutes of limitation (prescripción)
or may become subject to defenses or set-off or counterclaim; waivers
to
applicable Mexican statutes of limitations are unenforceable under
Mexican
law;
|
h) |
In
accordance with Mexican bankruptcy law (Ley
de Concursos Mercantiles),
any provision in an agreement which makes the obligations of the
bankrupt
party more onerous due to the fact of a filing for insolvency or
bankruptcy may be considered void;
|
i) |
Any
provision in this Agreement or the other Collateral Documents to
the
effect that invalidity and illegality of any part thereof will not
invalidate the remaining obligations of this Agreement or the other
Collateral Documents may be unenforceable in Mexico to the extent
that
such provision constitutes an essential element of this Agreement
or the
other Collateral Documents, as the case may
be;
|
j) |
In
any proceeding brought before the courts of Mexico for the enforcement
of
this Agreement or the other Collateral Documents, a Mexican court
would
apply Mexican procedural law in such
proceedings;
|
k) |
Mexican
law does not permit the collection of interest on interest, and,
consequently, any relevant provision of this Agreement or of the
other
Collateral Documents relating to the payment of interest on interest
may
be unenforceable in Mexico.
|
l) |
Choice
of forum provisions which provide some, but not all, of the parties
to an
agreement the ability to select the forum, are not valid under Mexican
procedural law;
|
m) |
A
Mexican court could determine that waivers of the Mexican Guarantors
to
possible discharges based on the invalidity, illegality, unenforceability,
amendment, termination, discharge or similar situations affecting
the
Secured Obligations are contrary to public policy (orden
público).
As a general principle under Mexican law, the guarantees would be
deemed
limited or discharged to the same extent as the
Obligations;
|
n) |
Generally,
Mexican law does not allow a secured party to seize or sell collateral
unless appropriate judicial procedures have been followed. Absent
a court
decision, a secured creditor would require the debtor’s consent to assume
ownership of the pledged assets. Under Mexican law, powers of attorney
granted by the Company, or any of the other Grantors should be formalized
before a Mexican Notary Public, or in certain cases, a public broker
(corredor
público),
and general powers of attorney should be recorded in the Public Registry
of Commerce of the domicile of the corresponding
Grantor;
|
o) |
Although
the assets of the Company and the other Mexican Grantors are generally
not
subject to immunity from attachment, assets of such entities that
are
essential for the conduct of their operations may not be attached
separately, although they may be attached jointly with the business
concern (this limitation does not apply to foreclosures under the
Non-Possessory Pledge Agreements);
|
p) |
Absent
an approval of the pledge of stock by the shareholders of Vitro,
a
shareholder of Vitro could attempt to contest the sale of the Pledged
Stock in a foreclosure, based on an alleged violation to the bylaws
of
Vitro;
|
q) |
Provisions
in the Mexican Collateral Documents regarding reinstatement of a
security
interest upon devolution to the bankruptcy estate of amounts previously
received by a Secured Party, are subject to rules regarding fraudulent
conveyance and recognition of credits under Mexican bankruptcy
law.
