2. Amendment to Schedule 2, Acknowledgment and Consent. The Borrowers
---------------------------------------------------
sent a notice (the "Notice") to the Lenders on February 23, 2001 designating
------
American Tower Corporation de Mexico, S. de X.X. de C.V. ("ATC Mexico") as an
----------
Unrestricted Subsidiary. To clarify the status of the Borrower's Subsidiaries,
Schedule 2 to the Loan Agreement, Restricted Subsidiaries and Unrestricted
----------
Subsidiaries, is hereby amended by deleting such schedule in its entirety and
substituting in lieu thereof Schedule 2 attached hereto. The Lenders also
----------
consent to (a) the transfer of the equity interest in ATC Mexico to ATC
International Holdings Corp. ("ATC International"), a Delaware corporation,
-----------------
which transfer may be done by a distribution to the Parent that is then
contemporaneously transferred to ATC International (such distribution shall not
be deemed a Restricted Payment for purposes under the Agreement) and (b) that
prior to the transfer to ATC International, the equity of ATC Mexico held by AT
Inc. will not be pledged to the Lenders; provided, that if such transfer does
--------
not occur within 180 days from the date hereof, the Borrowers shall grant to the
Lenders a first priority security interest on the equity on ATC Mexico (which
may be accomplished directly or indirectly through a domestic unrestricted
subsidiary holding company).
3. Waiver. The Borrowers have informed the Administrative Agent that they
------
were not in compliance with Section 7.1(g), Indebtedness of the Borrower and the
------------------------------------
Restricted Subsidiaries, as it related to Capitalized Lease Obligations as of
-----------------------
December 31, 2000. The Lenders hereby waive any Default or Event of Default that
may have occurred under Section 7.1(g) solely with respect to the Borrowers'
incurring Capitalized Lease Obligations in excess of $100,000,000 as of December
31, 2000 and through the date of this Amendment.
4. No Other Amendment or Waiver. Except for the amendments and waiver set
----------------------------
forth above, the text of the Loan Agreement and all other Loan Documents shall
remain unchanged and in full force and effect. No amendment or waiver by the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders under the Loan Agreement
or any other Loan Document is granted or intended except as expressly set forth
herein, and the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders expressly
reserve the right to require strict compliance in all other respects (whether or
not in connection with any Requests for Advance). Except as set forth herein,
the amendments and waiver agreed to herein shall not constitute a modification
of the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or a course of dealing
with the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders at variance with
the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, such as to require
further notice by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders or the
Majority Lenders to require strict compliance with the terms of the Loan
Agreement and the other Loan Documents in the future.
5. Conditions Precedent. The effectiveness of this Amendment is subject
--------------------
to the following:
(a) Receipt by the Administrative Agent of:
(i) duly executed signature pages to this Amendment from the
Majority Lenders;
- 4 -

(b) The representations and warranties contained in Article 4 of the Loan
Agreement and contained in the other Loan Documents remain true and correct as
of the date hereof, both before and after giving effect to this Agreement,
except to the extent previously fulfilled in accordance with the terms of the
Loan Agreement or such other Loan Document, as applicable, or to the extent
relating specifically to the earlier date. No Default or Event of Default now
exists or will be caused hereby.
6. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of
------------
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such
separate counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
7. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with
-------------
and governed by the laws of the State of New York.
8. Severability. Any provision of this Amendment which is prohibited or
------------
unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof in that
jurisdiction or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in
any other jurisdiction.
