a Master Lease Agreement, dated as of February 23, 2001 (the "ORIGINAL MASTER
LEASE AGREEMENT"), relating to the lease of space by Lessee at certain Sites
described herein, which Original Master Lease Agreement was amended and restated
as of May 16, 2002 (the "AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT").
b) MATC Celular and certain Affiliates of Lessee have entered into that
certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of February 23, 2001 (the "2001
PURCHASE AGREEMENT") and MATC Digital and certain Affiliates of Lessee have
entered into that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of the date
hereof (the "2003 PURCHASE AGREEMENT"; and collectively with the 2001 Purchase
Agreement, the "PURCHASE AGREEMENTS"), pursuant to which Lessee agreed to sell,
convey, assign, transfer and deliver to MATC, and MATC agreed to purchase and
acquire from Lessee, all of the right, title and interest of Lessee in and to
the Sites described therein, and the execution and delivery of this Master Lease
is a condition to MATC Digital's obligation under the 2003 Purchase Agreement to
purchase the Sites.

c) Lessee wishes to lease from MATC space for operating its
communications equipment: (i) with respect to all Sites purchased pursuant to
the 2001 Purchase Agreement (the "2001 PURCHASED SITES"), non-exclusive use of
space on the applicable tower within a twenty (20) foot expanse comprised of the
ten (10) feet above and the ten (10) feet below the height of the center of

structure (unless such space is otherwise defined in the applicable Site Lease)
and non-exclusive use of certain rights of way granted under Section 1(f) of
this Agreement and (ii) with respect to all Sites purchased pursuant to the 2003
Purchase Agreement (the "2003 PURCHASED SITES"; and together with the 2001
Purchased Sites, the "SITES"), non-exclusive use of space on the applicable
tower within a ten (10) foot contiguous expanse comprised of the five (5) feet
above and five (5) feet below the height of the center of radiation of Lessee's
Improvements and Equipment located on the applicable tower structure and
non-exclusive use of certain rights of way granted under Section 1(f) of this
Agreement (the spaces described in subsections (i) and (ii), as applicable, are
referred to herein as the "PREMISES"), all at locations more particularly
described in a supplement to be executed in the form attached to this Master
Lease as Exhibit B, which form may be mutually amended by the parties hereto
from time to time (the "SITE LEASE"). Each of the Site Leases shall be governed
by the terms of this Master Lease and shall become a part of this Master Lease
as if fully set forth herein.
d) The parties desire to amend the Amended and Restated Master Lease
Agreement as provided herein.
NOW THEREFORE, based on the above, the parties agree as follows:
1. LEASE OF PREMISES.
(a) MATC does lease or own, and operates the Sites. Lessee shall lease
from MATC the Premises within each of the Sites, in consideration for which
Lessee shall pay rent as specified in Section 5 of this Agreement, and the
applicable Site Lease, under the terms and conditions of this Master Lease. Upon
execution and delivery of a Site Lease with respect to a particular Premises,
each Premises shall become subject to this Master Lease and the corresponding
Site Lease.
(b) MATC Celular and Lessee executed a Site Lease with respect to each
2001 Purchased Site at the time such Site was purchased, all of which are set
forth in Schedule 1 attached hereto. There is no outstanding obligation to
purchase additional sites under the 2001 Purchase Agreement.
(c) With respect to the 2003 Purchased Sites, at each Closing MATC Digital
and the applicable Lessee shall execute a Site Lease with respect to those Sites
being conveyed at the Closing. At each Closing, the list of Sites in Schedule 1
shall be amended to include the Sites transferred in connection with such
Closing and such amended list shall supercede any previous list of Sites in
Schedule 1. If MATC Digital or its Affiliate elect to exercise its right of
substitution pursuant to Section 2.5(d) of the 2003 Purchase Agreement, then the
Site Lease associated with the Put Tower (as defined in the 2003 Purchase
Agreement) shall be terminated and MATC Digital and the applicable Lessee shall
execute a new Site Lease with respect to the
4
Exchange Tower (as defined in the 2003 Purchase Agreement), and in each case the
list of Sites in Schedule 1 shall be amended to remove the Put Tower and include
the Exchange Tower and such amended list shall supercede any previous list of
Sites in Schedule 1.
(d) The parties agree that either party may request the registration of
any Site Lease at the Public Registry of Property corresponding to the
jurisdiction where any Site is located, as specified in the corresponding Site
Lease, and all costs and expenses associated with such registration shall be
borne solely by the requesting party.
(e) As of the Commencement Date, MATC will grant the Lessee the use of the
Premises as provided in the applicable Site Lease, which Premises shall be ready
to be used by Lessee, under terms of Article 2412 of the Federal Civil Code and
the corresponding provisions of the Civil Codes of the States of Mexico, and
shall comply with all of its obligations thereunder or under the applicable
provisions of the Civil Codes of the jurisdiction in which any Premises are
located.
(f) MATC shall lease to Lessee and Lessee shall lease from MATC the
Premises identified in each Site Lease, as of the Commencement Date and under
terms of this Master Lease. MATC grants Lessee the right to install and maintain
Lessee's Improvements and Equipment on the Premises and rights to install and
maintain utility wires, cables, conduits and pipes on the Site including over,
under or along a right of way extending from a public right of way to the Site,
and to utilize a right of way for access to the Site as described in Section
7(f) hereof and in the applicable Site Lease.
(g) If the Premises are to be located on a Tower that is located on
property leased by MATC under any agreement with a third party owner of the
property (the "PRIME LEASE"), all terms, covenants and conditions contained in
this Master Lease (other than Section 13(c)(i) hereof) shall be specifically
subject and subordinate to the terms and conditions of any applicable Prime
Lease. In the event that any of the provisions of the Prime Lease supercede or
contradict the terms of this Master Lease (other than Sections 3, 5, 6, 9, and
13 hereof), such terms of this Master Lease shall be deemed deleted and
superceded to the extent of the contradiction as applicable to the space used by
Lessee. MATC covenants and agrees that it will not agree, without the prior
consent of Lessee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), to any
modification of the terms of a Prime Lease prior to the termination or
expiration of such Prime Lease if such modification would contradict any
material term of this Master Lease and reasonably could be expected to have a
material adverse effect on Lessee. In the event the Prime Lease expires or is
terminated prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term (as
such terms are defined in subsection (b) of Section 4), the corresponding Site
Lease shall terminate as between MATC and Lessee on the effective date of
termination of the Prime Lease, and MATC shall have no liability to Lessee
therefor. MATC shall give Lessee written notice of any such termination promptly
following its receipt of notice from the lessor under the Prime Lease. A copy of
the applicable Prime Lease will be provided to Lessee upon request, redacted as
deemed reasonably appropriate by MATC.
(h) The parties hereto agree that the terms and conditions herein shall be
and are binding upon and exclusive to each party hereto with respect to any
lease of space by Lessee entered into
5
during the Term of this Agreement with respect to any Site. The parties
acknowledge that each Site Lease shall be signed by MATC and Lessee. Lessee
warrants and represents that it has the authority to execute and deliver this
Agreement.
2. USE OF THE PREMISES.
Subject to Section 3, the Premises may be used by Lessee only to install,
maintain, repair, replace, remove and operate Lessee's Improvements and
Equipment on or in the Premises for the purposes of a telecommunications
facility and uses incidental thereto in connection with the provision of
wireless telecommunications services including, without limitation, cellular,
PCS, wireless local loop, paging, and fiber optic and microwave transmission
services.
3. CONSTRUCTION AND ALTERATIONS.
(a) Lessee shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses
associated with the purchase, installation, repair, maintenance and alteration
of Lessee's Improvements and Equipment.
(b) Except as otherwise provided for herein, Lessee agrees that it will
not make any alterations or additions to Lessee's Improvements and Equipment at
a Site until Lessee has submitted its construction and installation plans to
MATC in writing with respect to the installation of such Lessee's Improvements
and Equipment at such Site, and such plans have been approved in writing by
MATC. MATC's approval of Lessee's construction and installation plans shall not
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed so long as such alterations or
additions (i) together with the remaining Lessee's Improvements and Equipment,
does not exceed the structural (e.g., wind load, weight, etc.) capacity required
on the Tower for the Maximum Equipment (as defined in Section 7(a)), (ii) does
not require any additional ground space, (iii) is proposed to be located on the
same height on the Tower structure as the existing Lessee's Improvements and
Equipment, (iv) the existing Tower structure can accommodate such additional or
altered installation without requiring MATC to make aggregate capital
expenditures (including all capital expenditures made in connection with any
prior structural modification of such Tower following the date of this
Agreement) with respect to such Tower in excess of US$70,000 and (v) do not
extend beyond the Premises except as provided in Section 7(g). Lessee shall not
alter any plans so approved without following the same procedures. Lessee shall
be responsible for ensuring that all external and internal wiring and cabling
installed by Lessee in the Premises is properly grounded to the grounding ring;
provided, however, that MATC shall be responsible for providing a common
grounding ring. Lessee shall obtain MATC's prior written approval of such
grounding plans, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed. An amendment to the applicable Site Lease shall be prepared to
reflect each additional modification to Lessee's Improvements and Equipment from
time to time to which MATC has given its written consent. MATC may, in its
reasonable judgment, perform or cause to be performed a structural analysis to
determine the availability of capacity at the Site for the installation or
modification of any additional equipment by Lessee at the premises. Nothing
herein shall prevent Lessee from performing such analysis for its own account;
provided, however, that Lessee shall provide a complete copy of any structural
analysis that it performs to MATC at no cost to MATC promptly upon completion of
such analysis. If MATC performs
6
such an analysis or causes one to be performed, Lessee agrees promptly to
reimburse MATC for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by
MATC or its vendor in the performance of such structural analysis within thirty
(30) days following receipt of an invoice from MATC. All approved work at the
Site shall be performed by qualified contractors, subject to the reasonable
approval of MATC. MATC and Lessee shall mutually agree, in writing, upon a list
of pre-approved contractors and subcontractors, and Lessee may retain any such
pre-approved contractor or subcontractor to perform services at the Site unless
MATC has previously informed Lessee in writing of MATC's reasonable desire to
remove such contractor or subcontractor from the approved list.
4. TERM OF SITE LEASES AND MASTER LEASE; EXTENSION PERIODS.
(a) The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date first written
above (the "EFFECTIVE DATE") and, unless earlier terminated in accordance with
Section 10, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in effect
with respect to each individual fully executed Site Lease for so long thereafter
as such Site Lease remains in effect pursuant to Section 4(b).
(b) Unless the Site Lease specifies otherwise, the initial term of each
Site Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date for such Site Lease and shall
continue for ten (10) years (the "INITIAL TERM"); provided that the Initial Term
for any Exchange Tower (as defined in the 2003 Purchase Agreement) shall be
deemed for all purposes to be the same as the Initial Term for the Site for
which it is being exchanged; and provided further that effective January 1, 2004
the Initial Term for each of the Site Leases listed on Annex 2 shall continue
until January 1, 2015. The term of each Site Lease may be extended as follows:
(i) the term shall be extended automatically beyond its Initial Term for five
(5) years (the "FIRST RENEWAL TERM") unless Lessee notifies MATC that it does
not wish to extend the term and such notice is given at least 90 days before the
First Renewal Term is scheduled to begin, and (ii) the term shall be further
extended beyond the First Renewal Term for five (5) years (the "SECOND RENEWAL
TERM"; each of the First and Second Renewal Terms are sometimes referred to
herein as a "RENEWAL TERM") unless Lessee notifies MATC that it does not wish to
extend the term and such notice is given at least 90 days before the Second
Renewal Term is scheduled to begin. The lease term of any Site Lease shall be
the period commencing on the first day of the Initial Term and ending on the
last day of the last applicable Renewal Term, if so renewed, subject to the
provisions of Section 1(g) herein.
5. RENT; REIMBURSABLE COSTS.
(a) The rent payable to MATC by Lessee for the Premises under each Site
Lease shall be equal to the Base Rent (as defined in subparagraph (b) below) and
the Additional Rent (if any, as defined in subparagraph (c) below). The Base
Rent and Additional Rent payments shall be effected by deposit of immediately
available funds to MATC at an address to be identified to Lessee, in writing,
prior to the first Commencement Date of a Site Lease hereunder, as such address
may be changed from time to time upon written notice by MATC to Lessee.
(b) The base rent (the "BASE RENT") for each Site under this Master Lease
shall be equal to the following, as applicable (plus applicable value added tax,
if any):
7
(i) For each 2001 Purchased Site, Two Thousand One Hundred
Fifty-Three Dollars and 63/100 X.X.Xx. (US$2,153.63) per month, as
adjusted below.
(ii) For each Initial Site under the 2003 Purchase Agreement, Two
Thousand Dollars and 00/100 X.X.Xx. (US$2,000.00) per month, as adjusted
below.
(iii) For each Additional Site under the 2003 Purchase Agreement,
One Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars and 00/100 X.X.Xx. (US$1,750.00)
per month, as adjusted below.
The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Base Rent payable hereunder is
premised upon the installation of the Lessee's Improvements and Equipment as
specifically described in the applicable Site Lease but in no event to exceed
the Base Loading or extend beyond the Premises, except as provided for in
Section 7(g); provided, that in no event will Base Rent be reduced if Lessee has
not utilized the entire Premises or if Lessee has utilized less than the Base
Loading or if Lessee removes any equipment. For all Site Leases executed
pursuant to the 2001 Purchase Agreement (other than those listed on Annex 2
attached hereto), on July 1st of each year (commencing on July 1, 2004) the
applicable Base Rent and Additional Rent payable pursuant to Section 7(c) shall
be increased by three percent (3%) over the Base Rent and the Additional Rent,
respectively, for the prior year (i.e., the period beginning on July 1st and
ending on June 30th). For all Site Leases for MATC Sites executed pursuant to
the 2003 Purchase Agreement and for each Site Lease listed on Annex 2 attached
hereto, on July 1st of each year (commencing on July 1, 2004) the applicable
Base Rent and Additional Rent payable pursuant to Sections 7(c) shall be
increased by one and one half percent (1.5%) over the Base Rent and the
Additional Rent, respectively, for the prior year (i.e., the period beginning on
July 1st and ending on June 30th). The initial Base Rent payable under any Site
Lease entered into after July 1, 2004 shall be increased as described in the
previous sentence to account for the one and one half percent (1.5%) increase
each year from July 1, 2003 to the July 1st preceding the date of such Site
Lease.
(c) In addition to the Base Rent payable under this Section 5, Lessee also
shall pay to MATC a monthly amount equal to its per capita portion (based on the
number of tenants who lease space on the applicable Tower for a rent equal to or
in excess of seventy-five percent (75%) of the Base Rent then-payable by Lessee
at the applicable Site ("PER CAPITA SHARE")) of MATC's ground rent (if any) and
real property taxes (if any) payable with respect to the applicable Site
(together with the additional rent described in Section 7(c) herein, "ADDITIONAL
RENT"); provided that in the event that the rental income (excluding service and
installation fees and any pass-through expenses, including, without limitation,
ground rent, taxes, utilities, etc.) that MATC is due to collect from Other
Tenants at any particular Site exceeds Five Thousand Eight Hundred Eighty Seven
United States Dollars ($5,887.00) (which amount shall be increased by a
percentage equal to the applicable increases in the Base Rent for such Site as
provided in Section 5(b)), Lessee shall be relieved of any obligation to pay its
Per Capita Share of the ground rent and real property taxes at such Site during
that calendar month; provided, however, if any uncollected rental income is
delinquent by ninety (90) days or more, MATC may retroactively recalculate and
prospectively calculate Lessee's entitlement to an abatement of Lessee's Per
Capita Share hereunder with respect to the affected Site(s) during any such
period of delinquency by Other Tenants by excluding such uncollected rents from
the amounts MATC is due to collect
8
from Other Tenants. To the extent that MATC is required by the ground lease to
pay the ground rent in United States dollars, Lessee shall be required to pay
such portion of the Additional Rent in United States dollars. Payment of the
Additional Rent set forth in this Section 5(c) shall commence on the
Commencement Date of the applicable Site Lease. MATC will notify Lessee each
time any Other Tenant (as defined in Section 6(a)) installs its equipment on an
applicable Site.
(d) All Base Rent and Additional Rent due hereunder shall be paid by
Lessee to MATC monthly, in advance. The first monthly payment shall be due
twenty (20) Business Days following the Commencement Date of the applicable Site
Lease and on the fifth day of each calendar month thereafter. The Additional
Rent for any fractional month or year (as applicable) at the beginning or at the
end of the Term shall be prorated.
(e) In the event of any late payment of the Base Rent and/or Additional
Rent due under any Site Lease, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies
available to MATC under this Master Lease or any applicable laws, (i) Lessee
shall pay interest on any unpaid portion of such Base Rent and Additional Rent,
as of the date payment was due and until payment in full, at a rate per annum of
LIBOR (as determined by Citibank N.A. in New York) plus 200 basis points,
calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty (360) days and the
number of actual days elapsed, (ii) in addition, in the event that any payment
due under Site Lease remains outstanding for ninety (90) days or more following
each respective due date thereunder, Lessee shall pay, as liquidated damages
(xxxx convencional), an amount equivalent to one (1) payment of one-twelfth
(1/12) of the then current per annum Base Rent due for the applicable Site Lease
on the ninety-first (91st) day and at the end of each subsequent thirty (30)
days thereafter and (iii) in addition, if Lessee is in default on the payment of
Base Rent and/or Additional Rent for three (3) months or more with respect to
five percent (5%) or more of the Site Leases under this Agreement, then in
addition to any other remedies to which MATC may be entitled under this Section
5(e) and Section 10 hereof, at MATC's request Lessee shall immediately prepay
the Base Rent due hereunder for each Site to MATC for the remainder of the
then-current term for all of the Site Leases then in effect, provided, however,
that upon MATC's receipt of such prepaid rent in full, Lessee shall no longer be
in default with respect to the payment of any such Base Rent during the
then-current term.
(f) In order to secure compliance of Lessee's payment obligations
hereunder, Lessee shall deliver to MATC a performance bond issued by a Mexican
bonding institution of repute, approved by MATC in writing, within twenty (20)
Business Days after the Commencement Date for each Site Lease, for an amount
equal to the aggregate amount of the monthly payments of the Base Rent and
Additional Rent due under the corresponding Site Lease for the subsequent twelve
(12) month period. Lessee shall provide MATC a renewal of such bond policies
yearly, no later than twenty (20) Business Days after the anniversary of the
Commencement Date, for an amount equal to the outstanding Base Rent and
Additional Rent payable through the subsequent twelve (12) month period, as
adjusted to take into account increases provided for in Section 5. MATC and
Lessee acknowledge and agree that any one Affiliate of Lessee may obtain the
foregoing bond in its name for and on behalf of and for the benefit of all or
any of its Affiliates hereunder.
9
6. RENT REDUCTIONS AND OTHER TENANTS.
(a) The parties hereby agree and acknowledge that premises in each Site,
other than the Premises, may be rented to third parties (each an "OTHER TENANT")
by MATC, under terms and subject to the conditions established by MATC
consistent with MATC's obligations under Section 8 hereof. For each additional
lease agreement entered into by MATC with an Other Tenant that will use premises
on a Site to provide wireless telecommunication services (including, without
limitation, cellular, PCS, wireless local loop, paging, microwave and fiber
transmission), the Base Rent payable under the applicable Site Lease will be
reduced per month and per each such Other Tenant by the lesser of (i) US$200
(two hundred Dollars 00/100 U.S Cy.) or (ii) ten percent (10%) of the monthly
recurring rent paid by the Other Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
following July 25, 2003, no rental reductions pursuant to this Section 6(a),
other than those in effect as of July 25, 2003, in the amount in effect as of
July 25, 2003, shall be available to Lessee under this Agreement. For the
avoidance of doubt, the previous sentence shall not apply to Sites under the
2001 Purchase Agreement.
(b) MATC shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver within
twenty (20) Business Days following the end of each calendar quarter a statement
("QUARTERLY STATEMENT") setting forth, in reasonable detail (A) the amount of
Base Rent actually paid by Lessee with respect to such calendar quarter and the
amount of Additional Rent actually paid by Lessee with respect to such calendar
quarter, (B) the amount of Base Rent due from Lessee with respect to such
calendar quarter pursuant to this Agreement (i.e., taking into account, among
other things, the amount of the rent reductions under this Section 6) and the
amount of Additional Rent due from Lessee with respect to such calendar quarter,
and (C) the net amount (the "NET AMOUNT"), if any, due to MATC or Lessee, as
applicable. Within five (5) Business Days of delivery of a Quarterly Statement
the payee of the Net Amount shall provide payment instructions to the payor
specifying, among other things, whether payment of the Net Amount is to be in
U.S. Dollars or Mexican pesos. Within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the
payment instructions, the payor shall remit the Net Amount to the other party by
wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with such payment
instructions. If no payment instructions are received within five (5) Business
Days of delivery of the Quarterly Statement, the Net Amount shall be paid in US
Dollars within fifteen (15) Business Days of delivery of the Quarterly Statement
by wire transfer of immediately available funds. If payment is to be made in
U.S. Dollars, it shall be made at the then current rate at which Mexican pesos
are exchangeable into U.S. Dollars as published by Banco de Mexico in the
Federal Official Gazette on the date of payment of the Net Amount. If Lessee
disputes the amounts set forth in the Quarterly Statement, Lessee shall deliver
written notice to MATC setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such
dispute. If Lessee delivers such a dispute notice, Lessee and MATC shall
cooperate in good faith and use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve
such dispute for a period of thirty (30) days following delivery of the dispute
notice. If the parties are unable to resolve such dispute within such thirty
(30) day period, the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 22.12
of this Master Lease. Absent manifest error, any acceptance of the Net Amount by
Lessee shall act as a waiver of its right to dispute the amounts set forth in
the Quarterly Statement as provided in this Section 6(b).
10
(c) During the term of this Agreement, MATC agrees to keep all usual and
proper records and books of account and all usual and proper entries relating to
this Agreement, and Lessee may conduct an audit of MATC's records applicable to
(i) the calculation of the rent reductions under this Section 6, (ii) the Per
Capita Share under Section 5(c) and (iii) MATC's compliance with the Prime
Leases and legal and regulatory requirements at each of the Sites (provided,
however, that any failure by MATC to comply will not be deemed a default under
this Agreement so long as Lessee does not suffer any materially adverse
consequence as a result thereof). Any such audit will be conducted by a
designated Lessee auditor or by an independent certified public accountant
selected by Lessee, and will be conducted only with reasonable advance written
request. The audit will be conducted during regular business hours and will be
conducted in such a manner as not to interfere with MATC's normal business
activities. Any fees or costs incurred by an independent certified public
accountant will be paid for by Lessee. Lessee recognizes and agrees that
information learned during an audit is confidential and that such information
may be used only in further disposition of the audit, including, without
limitation, to negotiate, prosecute, and resolve disputes.
7. FACILITIES; UTILITIES; ACCESS.
(a) Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, has the right to install,
maintain and operate on each of the Premises, Lessee's Improvements and
Equipment, which are owned by Lessee and/or any of its Affiliates, as more
specifically described in the applicable Site Lease, but in no event, except as
provided in Sections 7(c) and 7(g) respectively, may the structural loading
resulting from Lessee's Improvements and Equipment (i) (y) for 2001 Purchased
Sites, exceed the structural loading (e.g., wind load, weight, etc.) required on
the Tower for the installation of twelve (12) panel Xxxxx Telecom ASPD-963
antennas, twelve (12) 1 5/8 inch coax cables, one (1) six foot diameter Xxxxxx
solid microwave antenna and an associated 1 5/8 inch cable run and one (1) GPS
antenna located at the same height on the antenna structure and (z) for 2003
Purchased Sites, exceed the structural loading (e.g., wind load, weight, etc.)
required on the Tower for the installation of twelve (12) panel Xxxxx Telecom
ASPD-963 antennas, twelve (12) 1 5/8 inch coax cables, two (2) six foot diameter
Xxxxxx solid microwave antennas and an associated 1 5/8 inch cable run and one
(1) GPS antenna located at the same height on the antenna structure (as
applicable, the "MAXIMUM EQUIPMENT"), (ii) extend beyond the Premises or (iii)
exceed two (2) microwave antennas (for Sites purchased pursuant to the 2003
Purchase Agreement) or one (1) microwave antenna (for Sites purchased pursuant
to the 2001 Purchase Agreement) (in each case, the "MAXIMUM MICROWAVE
ANTENNAS"). Without MATC's prior written consent, Lessee shall not have the
right to relocate Lessee's Improvements and Equipment to any location on a Site.
All construction and installation work necessary or convenient for the use of
Lessee's Improvements and Equipment shall be performed in a good and workmanlike
manner. Title to Lessee's Improvements and Equipment shall be held by Lessee.
Lessee's Improvements and Equipment shall remain Lessee's personal property and
are not fixtures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Master Lease,
in the event that Lessee elects to install less than the Maximum Equipment as of
the Commencement Date, Lessee shall reserve the right at any time during the
Initial Term or any Renewal Term thereof, to install additional improvements and
equipment (or substitute different improvements and equipment) within the
Premises for no additional rent up to the Maximum Equipment, subject to the
provisions of Sections 8 and 15 herein; provided that such additional or
substitute improvements
11
and equipment will not (i) create interference with the then-existing
improvements and equipment of any Other Tenant upon installation or (ii) exceed
the structural loading (e.g., wind load, weight, etc.) of the Maximum Equipment
assuming the Maximum Equipment is installed at the height of the initial
installation of Lessee's Improvements and Equipment (the "Base Loading").
(b) Lessee shall have the right to remove Lessee's Improvements and
Equipment under any Site Lease at any time before the expiration or earlier
termination of the applicable Site Lease so long as Lessee is not then in
default. The authorization to remove all or part of Lessee's Improvements and
Equipment prior to the termination of the Master Lease and/or the respective
Site Lease shall not be interpreted as a release of Lessee's responsibility to
perform its respective obligations under such agreements and, accordingly,
unless otherwise agreed, Lessee shall continue to pay the same Base Rent and
Additional Rent, for the same term, as it was prior to removal of such
equipment.
(c) If Lessee desires to install additional improvements and equipment at
any Site on space on the applicable structure outside of the Premises or that
will exceed the structural capacity (e.g., wind load, weight, etc.) on the Tower
required for the Maximum Equipment or if Lessee desires to install more than the
Maximum Microwave Antennas ("NEW EQUIPMENT"), MATC and Lessee shall negotiate in
good faith the terms of a site lease providing for the installation of such New
Equipment on the applicable Site; provided, however, that MATC's obligation to
negotiate in good faith for the lease of additional space and/or loading in
excess of Base Loading on a Site shall be conditioned upon the existence of
space on such structure which is unoccupied and not leased under, or otherwise
covered by, another agreement (or an agreement then being negotiated by MATC)
permitting another third-party to use or occupy such portion of the applicable
Site ("AVAILABLE SPACE") and the obtaining of any necessary Permits for the
installation of such New Equipment. The rent payable by Lessee for the use of
additional space and/or loading for the installation of such New Equipment will
be based upon the additional loading resulting from such New Equipment, pursuant
to the following formula: first, the Base Loading will be determined; second,
the loading resulting from the New Equipment will be determined based upon the
applicable tower manufacturer's specifications and the proposed height of such
New Equipment; and third, the Additional Rent will be determined based upon the
loading resulting from New Equipment in proportion to the Base Loading (for
example, assuming that the Base Load factor is 100 and the wind load factor of
such New Equipment would be 50 and the Base Rent at such time is equal to $2,000
per month, the additional rent would be equal to $1,000 per month (50/100 times
$2,000). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the New Equipment that
Lessee elects to install upon any Site pursuant to this Section 7(c) is (i) a
paging antenna, the Additional Rent to be paid by Lessee shall be four hundred
six dollars (US$406.00) per set of omnidirectional and GPS antenna or (ii) one
(1) additional microwave antenna (which does not exceed the loading required for
installation of a six foot diameter Xxxxxx solid microwave antenna) per Site,
the additional rent to be paid by Lessee shall be two hundred three dollars
(US$203.00) per microwave antenna, each subject to annual increases in
accordance with Section 5(b). In the event that the New Equipment that Lessee
elects to install upon any applicable Site is a microwave antenna in addition to
the microwave antenna permitted by the immediately preceding sentence, the
Additional Rent to be paid by Lessee per microwave antenna shall be calculated
in accordance with the formulas
12
contained in Exhibit E attached hereto, as such Exhibit E may be mutually
amended from time to time. Additional Rent pursuant to this Section 7(c) (but
not pursuant to Section 5(c)) shall be subject to annual increases in accordance
with Section 5(b).
(d) Lessee shall timely pay for the electricity used in its operations at
the rate charged by the servicing utility company. Lessee shall draw electricity
by submeter and other utilities from the existing utilities on the Site, unless
otherwise mutually agreed. Any easement necessary for such power or other
utilities will be at a location reasonably acceptable to MATC and the servicing
utility company, but shall be subject to MATC's rights under the applicable
Prime Lease.
(e) Lessee shall have the right to install or temporarily place, as
required, an emergency gasoline, butane, diesel or other fuel-powered
generator(s) on the Premises, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, and Lessee
covenants that such installation or placement and use shall be in compliance
with any applicable federal, state, or local environmental, health, fire,
community awareness, safety laws or other applicable laws or regulations, now or
hereafter enacted or promulgated by any Governmental Authority or court ruling
having jurisdiction over the relevant Site, including, without limitation, any
applicable guidelines promulgated by the environmental protection authorities.
(f) Lessee, Lessee's employees, agents and subcontractors may enter on or
across the Site twenty four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, at no
charge, to obtain entry into the Premises for the purpose of constructing,
installing, operating, maintaining and repairing those parts of Lessee's
Improvements and Equipment as are ground based, except as otherwise expressly
provided in the Prime Lease. Lessee shall not, without prior notice to and
approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) from MATC,
perform or arrange to be performed normally scheduled installation or repair of
Lessee's Improvements and Equipment on a Tower and MATC shall have the right to
have a representative present during such installation and repair. Any emergency
installation, maintenance or repair of Lessee's Improvements and Equipment on
the Tower shall be performed only with prior verbal notice to MATC. Such access
shall be in accordance with the procedures set forth in Exhibit D attached
hereto, as such Exhibit D may be mutually amended from time to time, and such
access route shall be as shown in the applicable Site Lease. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, MATC reserves the right, in its reasonable discretion, to refuse to
permit any non-qualified person or company to climb any Tower.
(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in connection
with Lessee's Improvements and Equipment installed on a Tower, Lessee's
microwave antennas may extend outside of the Premises at no additional rental
cost so long as such equipment (i) does not create interference with the
then-existing improvements and equipment of any Other Tenants and (ii) does not
exceed the Base Loading. If MATC receives a bona fide written offer that it is
considering accepting from a potential broadband collocation tenant ("POTENTIAL
TENANT") for space on a Tower located outside of the Lessee's Premises which is
being utilized by Lessee for no additional rent in accordance with this Section
7(g) or if Lessee's Improvements and Equipment located outside of the Premises
would interfere with such Potential Tenant's equipment, then before accepting
the offer MATC shall deliver a written notice to Lessee ("NOTICE OF OFFER")
offering to lease to Lessee the space being offered to the Potential Tenant
13
("POTENTIAL TENANT SPACE") for the same price and on the same terms specified in
the Notice of Offer. The Notice of Offer shall contain the price, a description
of the Potential Tenant Space, and any other relevant terms of the offer. Lessee
may elect to lease the Potential Tenant Space on the terms contained in the
Notice of Offer by providing a written notice to MATC within the five (5)
Business Day period immediately following receipt of the Notice of Offer. If
Lessee notifies MATC Digital of its election to lease the Potential Tenant Space
within such five (5) Business Day period, then the terms included in the
Potential Tenant Notice shall be binding on the parties and the parties shall
execute a revised or new Site Lease reflecting such terms within ten (10)
Business Days immediately following such acceptance. If Lessee has not elected
to lease the Potential Tenant Space on the terms contained in the Notice of
Offer within such five (5) Business Day period, then Lessee's right of first
refusal on such space shall terminate and MATC may lease the Potential Tenant
Space to the Potential Tenant on terms that are in the aggregate no more
favorable to the Potential Tenant than those contained in the Notice of Offer.
If MATC does not execute a definitive agreement with the Potential Tenant within
thirty (30) days from the expiration of Lessee's right of first refusal, then
MATC must again offer the space to Lessee on the terms provided in this Section
7(g). If Lessee has not elected to lease the Potential Tenant Space, within five
(5) Business Days following the expiration of Lessee's right of first refusal,
Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, reconfigure its equipment such that
its microwave antennas located outside of the Premises no longer extend into
Potential Tenant Space or interfere with the Potential Tenant's equipment.
8. NON-INTERFERENCE.
In the event that the operations of Lessee (including any subsequent
modifications or installations) under any Site Lease interfere with the then
pre-existing transmitting or receiving of radio, television, or electronic
signals by MATC or Other Tenants (or if the Lessee's microwave equipment located
outside of the Premises pursuant to Section 7(g) interferes at any time with
MATC's or an Other Tenant's equipment), Lessee shall cause the interference to
be eliminated within forty-eight (48) hours, for material interference, and
fifteen (15) Business Days if otherwise measurably adverse, at no cost to MATC
or Other Tenants. In the event such interference does not cease within the
applicable time period, MATC may terminate the applicable Site Lease, or shut
off Lessee's Improvements and Equipment. This provision shall not apply to test
periods where the source of the interference is being determined for purposes of
suppression. In the event that, with respect to Lessee's initial installation on
any given Site (other than microwave antennas extending beyond the Premises) or,
with respect to any subsequent modification of Lessee's Improvements and
Equipment or operations, any devices installed by MATC after such modification
shall interfere with Lessee's then-existing transmission or reception, MATC
shall cause the interference to be eliminated within forty-eight (48) hours, for
material interference, and fifteen (15) Business Days if otherwise measurably
adverse, at no cost to Lessee.
In the event such interference does not cease within the time periods
specified above, the parties acknowledge that continuing interference will cause
irreparable injury to the party experiencing such interference and such party
shall have all rights available under applicable law to cause such interference
to cease.
14
9. TAXES.
As provided in Section 5(c), Lessee shall pay to MATC its Per Capita Share
(as defined in Section 5(c) hereof) of all real estate taxes and other taxes,
duties or charges of similar nature imposed on the Sites. To that effect, MATC
shall make the required calculations and inform Lessee the amounts payable
together with any supporting documentation. Lessee shall reimburse MATC for any
increases in real property taxes that are assessed as a direct result of
Lessee's Improvements and Equipment to the Sites. As a condition of Lessee's
obligation to pay such tax increases, MATC shall provide Lessee the
documentation from the relevant taxing authorities indicating that the increase
is due to Lessee's Improvements and Equipment. Any other taxes, levies or rights
imposed by any authorities as a result of the performance of the obligations
under the Original Master Lease, this Master Lease or each Site Lease, will be
borne by the corresponding party, at its sole expense.
10. DEFAULT; TERMINATION.
(a) Either party shall be in default under an applicable Site Lease if the
party fails to perform any material duty or obligations under this Master Lease
or such Site Lease, in respect of a Site or any Premises, and does not cure or
remedy such failure to perform within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of
written notice with respect thereto; provided, however, that if such failure to
perform shall require a longer period to cure, then such cure period shall be
extended for such time as is reasonably necessary to cure such failure to
perform (not to exceed forty-five (45) Business Days), but only so long as such
efforts to cure are commenced within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of
written notice from the other party and thereafter proceed diligently and in
good faith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the time within
which a party may cure a failure in the payment of money exceed a single ten
(10) Business Day period following written notice of such failure, without
extension; provided, however, that the defaulting party shall be required to pay
any overdue money after such ten (10) Business Day period has elapsed by check
and if such check is accepted and actually cashed or deposited by the
non-breaching party (so long as such check also clears), then the receipt of
such funds shall be deemed a waiver by the non-breaching party of such default.
(b) Upon the occurrence of a default, the non-defaulting party may pursue
any and all remedies available under applicable law and any one or more of the
following remedies, separately or concurrently or in any combination, to the
extent compatible under applicable law, without further notice or demand
whatsoever:
(i) Termination of the applicable Site Lease by giving the
defaulting party written notice of such termination, in which event the
applicable Site Lease shall be terminated at the time designated in the
notice without any further judgment or judicial declaration; and
(ii) The recovery from the defaulting party of all damages, costs
and expenses incurred by the non-defaulting party in enforcing and
compensating its rights and remedies under this Master Lease and the
applicable Site Lease, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses.
15
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessee breaches any of its material
obligations under ten percent (10%) or more of the Site Leases under this
Agreement and the MLA for BTS Sites, collectively, then in effect in any
particular Region during any consecutive six (6) month period during the Term,
MATC shall have the right to terminate this Master Lease and any other or all of
the Site Leases executed under the terms of this Master Lease with respect to
such Region; provided, however, that if MATC has previously exercised its right
to accelerate the rental payments due for the Region affected hereunder pursuant
to Section 5(e) above, MATC shall not have the right to terminate the relevant
Site Leases which have been pre-paid. In addition, if Lessee is in default on
the payment of Base Rent and/or Additional Rent for three (3) months or more
with respect to five percent (5%) or more of the Site Leases under this
Agreement, then so long as MATC has not exercised its right to accelerate rental
payments under Section 5(e), MATC may terminate this Master Lease and any other
or all of the Site Leases executed under the terms of this Master Lease.
(d) The termination of an applicable Site Lease by reason of a party's
default shall not relieve the defaulting party of any of its duties and
obligations accrued under this Master Lease in respect of such Site Lease or any
other Site Lease, prior to the effective date of such termination.
(e) At the expiration or termination of an applicable Site Lease for any
reason, Lessee shall surrender to MATC the Premises, remove Lessee's
Improvements and Equipment, and shall restore the Premises to substantially the
same condition existing on the Commencement Date, except for ordinary wear and
tear. If Lessee fails to remove Lessee's Improvements and Equipment as required,
Lessee's Improvements and Equipment will, subject to fifteen (15) days prior
written notice and subject to the rights of the Financing Secured Parties
described in Section 13(c)(i), be subject to disconnection, removal and disposal
by MATC. In such event, Lessee will pay to MATC upon written demand therefor,
the disconnection, removal and storage expenses incurred by or on behalf of MATC
including, without limitation, the repair of any damage to the Premises or Site
caused by such removal. If Lessee's Improvements and Equipment are not claimed
by Lessee within thirty (30) days following written notice from MATC to Lessee
of its removal, subject to the rights of the Financing Secured Parties described
in Section 13(c)(i), MATC is hereby authorized by Lessee to take any steps
necessary, subject to any existing lien, security interest or other encumbrance,
to sell all or any portion of Lessee's Improvements and Equipment, and Lessee
shall execute any documents necessary to effect such transfer. In the event
Lessee's Improvements and Equipment remain on the Premises following termination
or expiration of the applicable Site Lease (even if it has been disconnected),
Lessee shall pay to MATC holdover rent equal to one hundred and twenty-five
percent (125%) of the then effective Base Rent, pro-rated from the date of
termination to the date Lessee's Improvements and Equipment are removed from the
Premises by Lessee. The parties hereby specifically acknowledge that MATC will
be under no obligation to repay Lessee for any construction, improvements or
work performed on a Site by Lessee, and Lessee hereby waives the provisions of
articles 2423 and 2424 of the Federal Civil Code and the applicable provisions
of the Civil Codes of the jurisdictions in which any Site is located.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the notice requirements
outlined in this Section 10(e) shall not apply to the extent that they conflict
with the provisions of the applicable Prime Lease pursuant to its termination or
expiration.
16
(f) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]
(g) Subject to Section 10(j), upon no less than thirty (30) days prior
written notice (unless a lesser period of time is otherwise required by law),
either party hereto may terminate the applicable Site Lease without any further
obligation by either party to the other if any law, ordinance, regulation or
directive of any governmental or regulatory authority hereinafter enacted or
ordered prohibits Lessee's or MATC's use of the Premises so long as such
governmental action is not the result of any action or inaction by the
terminating party.
(h) MATC will provide Lessee with a copy of any notice of default received
by MATC under any Prime Lease in the event that MATC does not intend to or can
not cure any such default during the applicable cure period provided for in the
Prime Lease or of any notice, complaint, order or decree that will (or could)
adversely affect Lessee's ability to operate its wireless communications
facility from the Site or will (or could) adversely affect any right or remedy
of Lessee hereunder. Any failure by MATC to deliver notice pursuant to this
Section shall not be deemed a default under this Agreement so long as Lessee
does not suffer any materially adverse consequence as a result thereof.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the
event that MATC fails to comply with the provisions of a Prime Lease, any
Governmental Requirements (other than failure to obtain Tower Site Permits that
Lessee or its affiliates were required to obtain prior to Closing), or its
maintenance or repair obligations hereunder and Lessee's rights hereunder shall
(or could) be materially and adversely affected by a failure to comply, Lessee
(in addition to any other rights and remedies it may be entitled to hereunder)
will be authorized, following no less than five (5) Business Days prior written
notice to MATC (unless during such period MATC diligently commences and pursues
the cure of such failure), to pay any reasonable amount required to cure such
failure or, if applicable, commence and prosecute any and all reasonable action
or actions necessary to cure such failure as may be available to MATC. Following
any such payment by Lessee, Lessee will be entitled to withhold the full amount
thereof from installments of rent or other payments next owing under this
Agreement until such amount and charge have been fully credited. Any dispute as
to the obligation to pay any such amount or pursue any specific action pursuant
to this Section 10(i), will be resolved in accordance with Section 22 hereof.
(j) In the event that a tower structure upon which the Premises are
located at any Site must be removed, dismantled or otherwise becomes unusable
because the applicable Tower Site Permits for a Site were required to be
obtained by Lessee or its Affiliates prior to the Closing (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement) of such Site, but were not obtained by Lessee or such
Affiliates, then (i) the associated Site Lease shall be deemed to have been
terminated contemporaneously therewith, (ii) Lessee shall promptly indemnify
MATC, which indemnification shall be paid (A) if Base Rent is being paid
annually, then annually in advance on the anniversary of the applicable
Commencement Date, beginning on the date of such deemed termination and ending
on the nine year anniversary of the applicable Commencement Date (i.e., payment
shall be through the remainder of the Initial Term), or (B) if Base Rent is
being paid monthly, then monthly in advance on the first of each month beginning
on the date of such deemed termination and ending on the month immediately prior
to the ten (10) year anniversary
17
of the Commencement Date (i.e., payment shall be through the remainder of the
Initial Term); in each case in an amount equal to the rent that would have been
payable to MATC under the applicable Site Lease. To the extent that Lessee has
prepaid rent corresponding to any periods after the deemed termination, such
prepaid rent shall count toward Lessee's indemnity obligation described in this
Section 10(j). The Indemnification described in this Section 10(j) shall be in
addition to any other indemnification provided for in this Section 10 or any
other section of this Agreement and Lessee further waives any right to claim
such event as a force majeure event under the applicable provisions of the
Federal Civil Code and its corresponding articles of the Civil Codes for the
Federal District and the States of Mexico.
11. EXPROPRIATION.
If the whole or any substantial part of a Site shall be taken by any
public authority under the power of eminent domain (expropiacion) so as to
materially interfere with Lessee's use and occupancy, then the Site Lease shall
terminate as to such Site so taken. Any Base Rent covering the period after the
effective date of termination paid in advance shall be refunded to Lessee within
thirty (30) days of Lessee's written demand.
12. INSURANCE.
(a) Each Party shall carry during the term of each Site Lease, at its own
cost and expense, the following insurance with respect to the Sites and the
Premises: (i) "All Risk" property insurance which insures the insuring party's
property for its full replacement cost; and (ii) comprehensive general liability
insurance with a commercial general liability endorsement having a minimum limit
of liability of US$1,000,000.00 (one million Dollars 00/100 U.S. Cy.) with a
combined limit for bodily injury and/or property damage for any one occurrence,
and (iii) excess/umbrella coverage of US$5,000,000.00 (five million Dollars
00/100 U.S. Cy.) MATC agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to require all
Other Tenants who execute lease agreements with MATC on or after the date first
written above to maintain insurance coverage comparable (based on such Other
Tenant's equipment installation and use of a Site) to the coverage limits set
forth in this Section 12(a).
(b) Each Party shall name the other as an additional insured (in the case
of Lessee, such rights of MATC to be subject to the rights of the Financing
Secured Parties described in Section 13(c)(i)) under its liability policy and
require its insurance company to endeavor to give at least thirty (30) days'
written notice of termination or cancellation of the policy to the additional
insured. A certificate of such insurance, together with such endorsement, shall
be delivered to the additional insured within thirty (30) days from the
Commencement Date for each Site Lease and before the expiration of any term
thereof, from a licensed insurance company. All insurance certificates must
contain an undertaking by the agents or brokers to notify the other party in
writing not less than thirty (30) days before any material change, reduction in
coverage, cancellation or termination of the insurance.
(c) Lessee shall cause any contractor retained by Lessee to maintain in
full force and effect during the term of any maintenance, work or repairs
performed on Lessee's behalf at any Site, insurance satisfying the coverage
requirements described in Section 12(a) and to deliver,
18
prior to the commencement of such work, an insurance certificate naming MATC as
an additional insured. Lessee shall be solely responsible and liable to MATC for
Lessee's failure to obtain or deliver to MATC the required insurance
certificates from Lessee's approved contractor.
13. ASSIGNMENT.
(a) This Master Lease or any Site Lease may be sold, assigned or
transferred, in whole or in part, by MATC (i) to any subsidiary and/or affiliate
of MATC; (ii) in the event of a sale, assignment or transfer of all or
substantially all of MATC's assets or equity interests in one or a series of
related transactions; (iii) in the event of a sale, assignment or transfer of
all or substantially all of MATC's assets located within a particular Mexican
Region (as such regions are commonly defined with respect to communication
services as of the date of the execution of this Master Lease and hereinafter
referred to as a "Region(s)"); (iv) pursuant to any merger, stock transfer, sale
of all or substantially all of the assets of or other corporate reorganization
involving any of MATC's parent companies; and (v) to any lender of MATC if such
lender becomes a successor to its business through foreclosure in accordance
with Section 13(d), provided, however, that, except in connection with a merger,
stock transfer, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of or other
corporate reorganization involving American Tower Corporation, MATC's ultimate
parent entity (or its successor-in-interest), MATC may in no event assign all or
any part of this Master Lease or any Site Lease to any of the following of
Lessee's competitors: Telcel, Nextel or Telefonica (or any of their
successors-in-interest), or any other person domiciled in Mexico who is an
Affiliate of such competitor as of the date of this Agreement; provided,
further, that if Lessee is in payment default under this Agreement, MATC may
freely sell, assign or transfer this Master Lease or any Site Lease, in whole or
in part, without restriction. Any other assignment of this Master Lease or any
Site Lease shall require the prior written consent of Lessee, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(b) This Master Lease or any Site Lease may not be sold, assigned or
transferred, in whole or in part, by Lessee without the prior approval or
consent of MATC; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, (i) Lessee may sublease any space on the Premises,
transfer any of its rights and/or obligations under this Master Lease, Lessee's
Improvements and Equipment and/or any Site Lease to any subsidiary and/or
Affiliate whose ownership or voting percentage is not modified to less than
forty-five percent (45%) of the current ownership or voting percentage by any
act or series of acts subsequent to the assignment that may cause Lessee to lose
such percentage within two (2) years from the date of the assignment, provided
that the respective permitted sublessee or assignee must agree in writing,
before taking possession of the subleased Premises, to be bound by all the terms
and conditions of this Master Lease and the applicable Site Lease; (ii) in the
event that such sale, assignment or transfer is associated with the sale of all
or substantially all of Lessee's assets located within a particular Region, MATC
may not unreasonably withhold, condition, or delay such consent; (iii) Lessee
may sell, assign or transfer its rights under this Master Lease or any Site
Lease pursuant to any merger, stock transfer, sale of all or substantially all
of the assets of or other corporate reorganization involving any of Lessee's
parent companies; and (iv) Lessee may grant a security interest in this Master
Lease in favor of the Financing Secured Parties as contemplated by Section
13(c)(i). Any sale, transfer or assignment by Lessee under or pursuant to
subsections (ii) or (iii), shall be contingent upon Lessee assigning the Master
Lease and all of the Site Leases
19
associated therewith (or, in the case of subsection (ii), all of the Site Leases
in the applicable Region) and the assignee assuming all of the obligations under
the Master Lease and all of such Site Leases (or, in the case of subsection
(ii), all of the Site Leases in the applicable Region). No sale, transfer or
assignment of the Master Lease or any Site Lease hereunder will release Lessee
from any obligations or liabilities hereunder or under the assigned Site Lease;
provided, however, that Lessee shall be released of such obligations and
liabilities if (i) the total assets and total revenue of such successor entity
are at least equal to that of Grupo Iusacell on a consolidated basis, (ii) the
successor entity agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of
this Master Lease and the applicable Site Leases and (iii) the successor entity
is not an Affiliate of the assigning party. In no event may Lessee sublease,
sublicense, or permit shared use of the Premises by any party other than an
Affiliate of Lessee in accordance with subsection 13(b)(i) herein; provided,
however, that in the event that the applicable antenna structure is fully loaded
and can not be structurally modified to accommodate any additional equipment,
Lessee may sublease or sublicense the Premises to a third party with the prior
written consent of MATC, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.
(c) MATC hereby acknowledges and consents to the security interests
granted by Lessee or its affiliates in this Master Lease, any Site Lease and any
of Lessee's Improvements and Equipment in favor of (i) The Chase Manhattan Bank
(currently known as JPMorgan Chase Bank) ("CHASE") as lender and as collateral
agent and administrative agent for the lenders (the "CHASE LENDERS") listed in
the mortgages, under those certain mortgages granted by means of (X) notarial
deed 5,114, dated December 1, 1997, granted before Mr. Francisco Xxxxxx Xxxxx,
Notary Public Number 212 in the Federal District, registered under commercial
numbers before the applicable Public Registry of Commerce 129,279, 126,502,
168,528, 177,150, 120,042, and 132,047, executed by and among each of the
companies mentioned therein as mortgagors and Chase as mortgagee, as amended and
restated under the First Amendment to the Mortgage Agreement granted by means of
notarial deed 8,824, dated April 15, 1999, granted before Mr. Francisco Xxxxxx
Xxxxx, Notary Public Number 212 in the Federal District executed by and among
the companies mentioned therein as mortgagors and Chase as mortgagee (the "FIRST
AMENDED MORTGAGE"), and the Second Amendment to the Mortgage Agreement granted
by means of notarial deed 3,196, dated March 29, 2001, granted before Mr.
Francisco Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Notary Public Number 212 in the Federal District
executed by and among the companies mentioned therein as mortgagors and Chase
and the First Union National Bank as mortgagees (the "SECOND AMENDED MORTGAGE"),
and (Y) notarial deed 6,283, dated April 30, 2002, granted before Mr. Francisco
Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Notary Public Number 212 in the Federal District, registered under
commercial numbers before the applicable Public Registry of Commerce 298,914,
executed by and among Portatel del Sureste, S.A. de C.V. and Portatel
Comercializadora, S.A. de C.V. as mortgagors and Chase and First Union National
Bank as mortgagees (the "PORTATEL MORTGAGE") and (ii) First Union National Bank
("FIRST UNION"), as trustee and agent or representative of the holders under the
Senior Note Indenture, granted by means of the Second Amended Mortgage and the
Portatel Mortgage (First Union, Chase and the Chase Lenders are collectively
referred to as the "FINANCING SECURED PARTIES"). Lessee may, upon prior written
notice to MATC, mortgage or grant a security interest in Lessee's Improvements
and Equipment to any bona fide unaffiliated institutional lender in connection
with any bona fide financing by Lessee, and may assign its rights to Lessee's
Improvements and Equipment to any such
20
mortgagees or holders of security interests including their successors or
assigns (hereinafter, with the Financing Secured Parties, collectively referred
to as "LESSEE MORTGAGEES"). In such event, MATC shall execute such consent to
leasehold financing as may reasonably be required by Lessee Mortgagees, in which
MATC will agree to notify Lessee and the Lessee Mortgagees simultaneously of any
default by Lessee and to give Lessee Mortgagees the same right to cure any
default as Lessee except that the cure period for any Lessee Mortgagee shall not
be less than ten (10) days after receipt of the default notice.
(d) Lessee acknowledges and agrees that MATC has or may in the future
enter into financing arrangements with financing entities ("MATC'S LENDERS")
evidenced by credit agreements and other documents (as may be amended from time
to time) pursuant to which MATC may grant to MATC's Lenders, as security
interest in connection therewith, certain rights to assume MATC's contractual
obligations hereunder; provided, however, that any such security interest or
right shall in all instances be subject to the Subordination Agreement executed
on even date herewith. In the event that MATC's Lenders become a successor to
MATC's business through foreclosure or otherwise, Lessee shall continue to
perform its respective obligations under this Agreement in favor of MATC's
Lenders if and to the extent that MATC's Lenders continue to perform MATC's
obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this
paragraph shall be deemed to restrict or limit Lessee's rights and remedies with
respect to any default under this Agreement by MATC or, as its successor, MATC's
Lenders.
14. WARRANTY OF TITLE AND QUIET ENJOYMENT; COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.
(a) MATC warrants that: (i) MATC owns or leases the Site and the Tower
located thereon (if any) and will have rights of access thereto; (ii) MATC has
full right to make and perform this Master Lease; and (iii) MATC covenants and
agrees with Lessee that, according to article 2412 of the Federal Civil Code and
the applicable provisions of the Civil Codes of the jurisdictions where any Site
is located, upon Lessee paying the Base Rent and Additional Rent and observing
and performing all the material terms, covenants and conditions on Lessee's part
to be observed and performed, Lessee may peacefully and quietly have, hold and
enjoy possession and use of each of the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, (i) no representation, warranty or covenant made by MATC in
this Master Lease shall be enforceable by Lessee against MATC (or be deemed
breached by MATC hereunder) in the event that such representation, warranty or
covenant (x) is contrary to any disclosure made by Lessee to MATC pursuant to
the Purchase Agreements, or (y) relates to or existed during any period of time
prior to the Closing, and (ii) any representation, warranty or covenant made by
MATC in this Master Lease shall be subject to and limited by any similar
representation, warranty, and covenant made by Lessee to MATC under the Purchase
Agreements.
(b) In the performance by each party to this Agreement of its respective
obligations hereunder, the parties recognize and acknowledge that each party
hereto shall be responsible for the personnel it employs to perform its
respective obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, their ordinary
and extraordinary salaries, vacations, Christmas bonus (xxxxxxxxx), seniority
payments (prima de antiguedad), disability payments, severance payments,
contributions to the IMSS and INFONAVIT and any other existing obligation
derived from the Federal Labor Law (Ley Federal de Trabajo) (collectively,
"LABOR OBLIGATIONS"). Each party
21
shall have no responsibility for the other party's Labor Obligations or to the
other party's personnel or otherwise, and each party agrees to indemnify, defend
and hold harmless the other party and its respective Affiliates, and their
directors, officers and employees, from and against all Losses based upon any
claim arising out of Labor Obligations. In the performance by the parties of
their respective obligations under this Agreement, each of MATC and Lessee agree
to comply with any and all applicable laws of Mexico and, as applicable, the
United States. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, MATC and Lessee
each agree, in the performance of their respective obligations hereunder, to
comply with the provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of the United
States.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 14, any Site Lease
hereunder may be terminated, without any further obligation by either party to
the other, by Lessee, from the period beginning on the date first written above
and ending ten (10) years thereafter ("TERMINATION PERIOD"), in the event that a
man-made obstruction constructed subsequent to Lessee's installation (or later
modification) adversely affects Lessee's RF requirements with respect to the
operation of such affected equipment; provided, however, that in no event may
Lessee terminate more than an aggregate of five percent (5%) of all of the Site
Leases executed by Lessee hereunder during the Termination Period pursuant to
this Section 14(c).
15. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS.
(a) Lessee shall perform all repairs necessary or appropriate to keep
Lessee's Improvements and Equipment on or about the Premises or located on any
appurtenant rights-of-way or access to the Premises in good and tenantable
condition. Damage to Lessee's Improvements and Equipment resulting from the acts
or omissions of MATC shall be repaired by MATC, at MATC's cost and expense
unless otherwise provided herein.
(b) MATC, at MATC's sole cost and expense, shall maintain the Sites and
its improvements thereto in good order and repair, except acts resulting from an
act of God or force majeure (caso fortuito o fuerza mayor) which shall be
repaired by MATC as promptly as is practical under the circumstances; provided,
however, that if Lessee's ability to provide service to its customers through
Lessee's Improvements and Equipment is negatively affected, MATC shall commence
the repair of the facilities within twenty-four (24) hours and shall complete
such repairs within the time period reasonably necessary to effect such repairs
under the circumstances following written notice from Lessee thereof. Damage
resulting from the acts or omissions of Lessee shall be repaired by Lessee, at
Lessee's cost and expense unless otherwise provided herein.
16. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Entire Agreement. This Master Lease, the applicable Site Leases and
the Purchase Agreement and all schedules and exhibits hereto or thereto

must be in writing and executed by both parties.
22
(b) Severability. If any provision of this Master Lease is invalid or
unenforceable with respect to any party, the remainder of this Master Lease or
the application of such provision to persons other than those as to whom it is
held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected and each provision of this
Master Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by
law.

(e) Governing Law. This Master Lease shall be governed, to the extent
applicable, by the Federal Civil Code and other applicable federal laws of the
United Mexican States ("MEXICO"). The Site Leases shall be governed by the laws
of the jurisdiction on which the corresponding Sites are located as specified in

Master Lease, the Master Lease shall govern.
(f) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

this Master Lease or any Site Lease may be executed in as many counterparts as
the parties deem necessary, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all
of such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This
Master Lease and any Site Lease may be executed in triplicate counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed an original.
(h) Language. This Master Lease is executed and each Site Lease will be
executed in the English language; provided, however, that the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably agree and accept that the Spanish translation of this
Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C, is a true, accurate and complete
translation of this Agreement that shall be used in the event that any party
hereto brings a legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and
the parties hereto hereby waive any right to challenge the validity,
truthfulness, accuracy or completeness of such Spanish translation.
17. TOWER MARKING AND LIGHTING REQUIREMENTS.
For each Site, MATC shall be responsible for compliance with all
marking and lighting requirements under applicable laws and regulations in
Mexico, provided that if the requirement for compliance results from Lessee's
Improvements and Equipment, Lessee shall pay for the reasonable costs and
expenses therefor.
18. INDEMNITY.
(a) Each party hereto ("INDEMNIFYING PARTY") agrees to compensate the
other party for damages and to defend, indemnify and to hold the other party
harmless from all claims (including reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and
expenses of defending against such claims) incurred and arising from the
negligent acts or omissions of the Indemnifying Party or its agents, employees,
engineers, contractors, subcontractors, or invitees in or about the Premises or
arising from the
24
Indemnifying Party's default pursuant to this Master Lease or the applicable
Site Lease. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein to the contrary, it
is understood and agreed that all property kept, installed, stored, or
maintained in or upon the Premises by Lessee shall be so installed, kept,
stored, or maintained at Lessee's risk. Neither party hereto shall be
responsible for any loss or damage to equipment owned by the other party which
might result from tornadoes, lightning, wind storms, hail, flying debris, or
other acts of God (caso fortuito o fuerza mayor). The indemnities described in
this Section shall survive termination of this Master Lease or the applicable
Site Lease.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Master Lease to the contrary
(other than Section 5 hereof), each party hereby waives the right to recover
consequential (including lost profits), punitive, exemplary and similar damages
and the multiplied portion of damages to the extent provided under applicable
law, except to the extent such damages are suffered by such party in connection
with an action initiated by a third party in which case the damages paid to such
third party shall be deemed compensatory damages.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Master
Lease, no party may be granted indemnity under this Master Lease if it has
already received indemnity for the same claim under the Purchase Agreement.
19. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES.
Lessee agrees that it will not use, generate, store or dispose of any
hazardous material on, under, about or within the Sites in violation of any law
or regulation. MATC represents, warrants and agrees (i) that neither MATC nor,
to MATC's knowledge, any third party has used, generated, stored or disposed of,
or permitted the use, generation, storage or disposal of, any hazardous material
on, under, about or within the Sites in violation of any law of regulation,
unless otherwise disclosed in the applicable Site Lease and (ii) that MATC will
not generate, store or dispose of any hazardous material on, under, about or
within the Sites in violation of any law or regulation. MATC and Lessee each
agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other party and the other
party's partners, affiliates, agents and employees against any and all losses,
liabilities, claims and/or costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs) arising from any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement
contained in this Section 19. As used in this Section 19, "HAZARDOUS MATERIAL"
shall mean petroleum or any petroleum product, asbestos, and/or any substance,
chemical or waste that is identified as hazardous, toxic or dangerous in any
applicable federal, state or local law or regulation. This Section shall survive
the termination of this Master Lease.
20. REPLACEMENT OR RECONSTRUCTION OF TOWER BY MATC.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lessee
acknowledges and agrees that MATC reserves the right to replace or rebuild an
existing structure or the top of any structure upon no less than ten (10) days
prior written notice to Lessee, provided, however, that in the event of such
replacement, MATC shall provide Lessee with suitable space at the Site during
the construction period to permit the continued operation of Lessee's
Improvements and Equipment and MATC shall be solely responsible for the costs
associated with removing and re-
25
installing the Lessee's Improvements and Equipment on the replacement structure.
MATC also expressly reserves the right to erect one or more Towers on the Site,
subject to MATC's obligations to Lessee pursuant to Section 8 of this Master
Lease. In no event shall Lessee's Base Rent be abated in any manner during any
period of construction of the Tower or candelabra so long as Lessee is capable
of continuing to operate its equipment from a temporary location on the Site.
Lessee acknowledges and agrees that it will reasonably cooperate with MATC in
any actions, filings, or permits which may be required for MATC to exercise its
rights under this Section 20. In the event that the replacement space provided
to Lessee fails to meet Lessee's RF standards, Lessee shall reserve the right to
terminate the applicable Site Lease upon thirty (30) days notice to MATC without
any further obligation of either party to the other hereunder.
21. CONFIDENTIALITY.
The parties agree to hold the economic terms and conditions of this
Agreement in strict confidence, and shall bind its employees, affiliates,
advisors, representatives and agents to keep such economic terms in strict
confidence, and not to make any disclosure with respect thereto, publicly or
privately, other than as is jointly agreed to by the parties or as is required
by applicable law (of any applicable country), including the rules and
regulations of the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission, the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission, and the stock exchange rules or regulations.
If a public statement by either party is determined to be required by law or
stock exchange rules or regulations, the other party shall have the right to
review and comment on such statement prior to its release to the extent
practicable. Except as otherwise provided above, without the prior written
consent of the other party, no party shall at any time disclose any such
economic terms to any third party not bound by the confidential duty. The
provisions contained herein shall survive termination of this Agreement and
shall remain in full force and effect for a term of five (5) years after
termination of this Agreement.
22. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
SECTION 22.1 AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE. Any and all claims, counterclaims,
demands, causes of action, disputes, controversies, and other matters in
question arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the alleged breach
hereof, or in any way relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or the
relationship between the Parties created by this Agreement (all of which are
referred to herein as "CLAIMS"), between two or more parties (each a "DISPUTING
PARTY") shall be resolved by binding arbitration, regardless of whether such
Claims (a) allegedly are extra-contractual in nature, (b) sound in contract,
tort, or otherwise, (c) are provided for by statute or otherwise, or (d) seek
damages or any other relief; provided, however, that each Party expressly waives
any right to any form of damages in excess of compensatory damages, and agrees
not to seek such damages in any forum, as a result of any dispute, controversy
or claim arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement,
including, without limitation, any dispute regarding its validity or
termination, or the performance or breach thereof, and each party further agrees
that the arbitrators are divested of, and will not have, jurisdiction or the
authority to award any form of damages in excess of compensatory damages.
Without limiting the authority conferred on the arbitrators by this Agreement
and the ICC Rules, the arbitrators shall have the authority to award specific
performance. No Claim shall be submitted to arbitration until sixty (60) days
have passed (without mutual agreement having been reached) following the first
26
written notice from a Disputing Party to the other Disputing Parties that sets
forth the subject matter of the Claim and that states that it is being given
pursuant to this Section 22.1. Each Disputing Party shall, if requested by
another Disputing Party, select and appoint a senior executive (not concerned
with the day-to-day performance of the appointor's obligations under this
Agreement) to serve on a panel seeking to reach mutual agreement with respect to
the applicable Claim. Each such appointment shall be made by the giving of
notice by the appointor to the other Disputing Parties within ten (10) Business
Days of the request for the appointment. The appointees shall meet and shall
endeavor to reach such mutual agreement as soon as practicable.
SECTION 22.2 APPOINTMENT OF ARBITRATORS. If no such mutual agreement has
been reached within such sixty (60) day period, then any Disputing Party may
refer the claim to arbitration under the following provisions:
(a) To refer a claim to arbitration, a Disputing Party must provide notice
to the ICC and the other Disputing Parties stating (i) a general description of
the Claim and (ii) that the Claim is being referred to arbitration under this
Section 22.
(b) The arbitration panel shall consist of three neutral arbitrators. Each
Disputing Party shall appoint one arbitrator, obtain its appointee's acceptance
of such appointment, and deliver written notification of such appointment and
acceptance to the other Disputing Party within thirty (30) days after delivery
of the notice described in Section 22.2(a) hereof. In the event a Disputing
Party fails to appoint an arbitrator or deliver notification of such appointment
to the other Disputing Party within this time period, upon request of either
Disputing Party, such arbitrator shall instead be appointed by the ICC within
thirty (30) days of receiving such request. The two arbitrators appointed in
accordance with the above provisions shall appoint the third arbitrator, obtain
the appointee's acceptance of such appointment and notify the Disputing Parties
in writing of such appointment and acceptance within thirty (30) days of their
appointment. If the first two appointed arbitrators fail to appoint a third
arbitrator or notify the Disputing Parties of that appointment within this time
period, then, upon request of either Disputing Party, the third arbitrator shall
be appointed by the ICC within thirty (30) days of receiving such request. The
third arbitrator shall serve as chairman of the arbitration tribunal. All
Arbitrators appointed pursuant to this Section 22.2 shall be attorneys licensed
to practice law in Mexico.
SECTION 22.3 AUTHORITY OF THE ARBITRATORS. The validity, construction, and
interpretation of this agreement to arbitrate, and all procedural aspects of the
arbitration conducted pursuant to this agreement to arbitrate, including, but
not limited to, the determination of the issues that are subject to arbitration
(i.e., arbitrability), the scope of the arbitrable issues, allegations of "fraud
in the inducement" to enter into this agreement to arbitrate, allegations of
waiver, delay or other defenses to arbitrability, the appropriateness of summary
judgment and the rules governing the conduct of the arbitration (including the
time for filing an answer, the time for the filing of counterclaims, the times
for amending the pleadings, the specificity of the pleadings, the extent and
scope of discovery, the issuance of subpoenas, the times for the designation of
experts, whether the arbitration is to be stayed pending resolution of related
litigation involving third parties not bound by this agreement to arbitrate, the
receipt of evidence, and the like) shall be decided by the arbitrators. The
arbitrators shall have the authority to assess
27
the costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding (including the arbitrators'
fees and expenses) against one or more of the Disputing Parties in whatever
manner or allocation the arbitrators deem appropriate, provided that each
Disputing Party shall bear its own attorneys' fees, and the arbitrators shall
have no authority to award attorneys' fees.
SECTION 22.4 PLACE OF ARBITRATION. The arbitration proceeding shall be
conducted in Mexico City, Mexico.
SECTION 22.5 CONDUCT OF THE ARBITRATION. It is the intent of the Parties
that, barring extraordinary circumstances, the arbitration proceedings shall be
concluded within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date the arbitrators are
appointed. The Parties may agree to extend this time limit or the arbitrators
may do so in their discretion if they determine that the interest of justice so
requires. The arbitrators shall use their best efforts to issue the Award within
sixty (60) days after closure of the proceedings. Failure to adhere to these
time limits shall not be a basis for challenging the award. The arbitration
proceedings and the award or decision ("AWARD") of the arbitrators shall be in
English. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Disputing Party may submit
testimony or documentary evidence in the Spanish language, provided that the
Disputing Party submitting such evidence, at its own cost, also furnishes to the
other party a translation into the English language.
SECTION 22.6 ICC RULES. The arbitration shall be conducted under the ICC
Rules, except as they may be modified in this Section 22 or by agreement of the
Parties.
SECTION 22.7 PAYMENT OF AWARD. Each Disputing Party against which the
arbitrators' Award assesses a monetary obligation shall pay that obligation on
or before the 30th day following the Award or such other date as the Award may
provide, which Award shall be payable in cash in dollars unless the Award
specifies a different currency.
SECTION 22.8 FINALITY OF THE ARBITRATORS' AWARD. The arbitrators' Award
shall, as between the Disputing Parties and those in privity with them, be final
and entitled to all of the protections and benefits of a final judgment, e.g.,
res judicata (claim preclusion) and collateral estoppel (issue preclusion), as
to all Claims, including compulsory counterclaims, that were or could have been
presented to the arbitrators. The arbitrators' Award shall not be reviewable by
or appealable to any court.
SECTION 22.9 USE OF THE COURTS. It is the intent of the Parties that the
arbitration proceeding shall be conducted expeditiously, without initial
recourse to the courts and without interlocutory appeals of the arbitrators'
decisions to the courts. However, by agreeing to arbitration, the Parties do not
intend to deprive any court with jurisdiction of its ability to issue a
preliminary injunction, attachment or other form of provisional remedy in aid of
the arbitration and a request for such provisional remedies by a Disputing Party
to a court shall not be deemed a waiver of the agreement to arbitrate contained
in this Section 22. Any court order compelling arbitration shall require that
the arbitration proceedings take place in Mexico City, Mexico as specified
above. The Disputing Parties may apply to any court having jurisdiction for
orders requiring witnesses to obey subpoenas issued by the arbitrators.
Moreover, any and all of the arbitrators' orders and decisions may be enforced
if necessary by any court having jurisdiction.
28
The arbitrators' Award may be confirmed in, and judgment upon the Award entered
by, any court having jurisdiction.
SECTION 22.10 CONFIDENTIALITY. Except as may be required by applicable law
or court order, the Disputing Parties shall maintain confidentiality as to all
aspects of the arbitration, including its existence and results, except that
nothing herein shall prevent any Disputing Party from disclosing information
regarding the arbitration for purposes of enforcing the Award or in any court
proceeding involving the Disputing Parties. The Parties further agree to obtain
the arbitrators' agreement to preserve the confidentiality of the arbitration.
However, a violation of this covenant shall not affect the enforceability of
this agreement to arbitrate or of the arbitrators' Award.
SECTION 22.11 ARBITRATION PROVISION ENFORCEABLE. A Disputing Party's
breach of this Agreement shall not affect this agreement to arbitrate. Moreover,
the Parties' obligations under this arbitration provision are enforceable even
after this Agreement has terminated. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this agreement to arbitrate shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of the Disputing Parties' obligation to submit their Claims to
binding arbitration or the other provisions of this agreement to arbitrate.
SECTION 22.12 MINOR DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
(a) In the event there is a Claim between the Parties involving an
aggregate amount of one million dollars (US$1,000,000) or less (a "MINOR CLAIM")
that has not been resolved by mutual agreement of the Parties pursuant to
Section 22.1, then the Minor Claim shall be resolved by binding arbitration in
accordance with this Section 22.12.
(b) The arbitration shall be conducted under the Rules of Arbitration of
the Arbitration Center of Mexico ("CAM") as in force at the time such
arbitration is commenced (the "CAM ARBITRATION RULES").
(c) The arbitration proceeding shall be conducted in Mexico City, Mexico,
or any other place mutually agreed to by the Parties, and the arbitration
proceedings shall be conducted in the English language.
(d) The award rendered by the arbitrators shall be in writing, in the
English language, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts of the
Minor Claim and the reasons for the arbitrators' decision, and shall apportion
the costs of the arbitration.
(e) Each Disputing Party against which the arbitrators' award assesses a
monetary obligation shall pay that obligation on or before the 30th day
following the award or such other date as the award may provide, which award
shall be payable in cash in U.S. dollars unless the award specifies a different
currency.
(f) The arbitrators' award shall, as between the Disputing Parties and
those in privity with them, be final and entitled to all of the protections and
benefits of a final judgment, e.g., res judicata (claim preclusion) and
collateral estoppel (issue preclusion), as to all Minor Claims, including
compulsory counterclaims, that were or could have been presented to the
arbitrators.
29
The arbitrators' award shall not be reviewable by or appealable to any court or
subject to further arbitration pursuant to Sections 22.1 through 22.11.
(g) It is the intent of the Parties that the arbitration proceeding shall
be conducted expeditiously, without initial recourse to the courts and without
interlocutory appeals of the arbitrators' decisions to the courts. However, by
agreeing to arbitration, the Parties do not intend to deprive any court with
jurisdiction of its ability to issue a preliminary injunction, attachment or
other form of provisional remedy in aid of the arbitration and a request for
such provisional remedies by a Disputing Party to a court shall not be deemed a
waiver of the agreement to arbitrate contained in this Section 22. Any court
