Such Deferred Funding Lender hereby irrevocably agrees that its right to receive payment with respect to the principal of such Other Refinancing Debt Loan shall, to the extent of the Deferred Funding Amount (but not with respect to any interest, fees or similar amounts calculated on the basis of the outstanding amount thereof, except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in such notice), be applied to satisfy such Lender’s funding obligation with respect to its Loan or Loans hereunder in the Deferred Funding Amount. Each Deferred Funding Lender further agrees that, solely for the period from and including the relevant Borrowing Date and to but excluding the date of repayment of the Affected Facility, it shall not be entitled to receive interest hereunder with respect to the Deferred Funding Amount of its affected Loan or Loans, and that interest on such portion thereof shall commence accruing from and including the date of such repayment. The Administrative Agent and/or Mexican Administrative Agent, as relevant, shall make appropriate adjustments to payments of interest for the first Interest Period with respect to each affected Loan of a Deferred Funding Lender to reflect the foregoing. In addition, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to each Deferred Funding Lender a Note or Notes representing the Deferred Funding Amount of such Lender’s Loans (or, if requested by such Lender, and against simultaneous delivery of its existing Note or Notes, a new Note or Notes reflecting the aggregate principal amount of such Loan or Loans) and otherwise duly completed.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall transfer the funds received by it pursuant to clause (a) above to a separate and segregated account of the Borrower maintained at JPMorgan Chase Bank in New York City and identified by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent prior to the Peso Borrowing Date (the “New York Funding Account”), and such funds shall be maintained therein until the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Acquisition is being consummated and that such funds shall be applied forthwith upon release in accordance with Section 5.09 hereof (the “Acquisition Date”). During the period between the Dollar Borrowing Date and the Acquisition Date, the Borrower shall invest such funds in overnight or other short-term liquid investments consistent with liquidation on or prior to the Acquisition Date, and any interest or other amounts earned thereon shall be added to and considered part of the funds held in the New York Funding Account. The Mexican Administrative Agent shall (I) hold the funds received by it pursuant to clause (a) above in a separate and segregated account, identified by the Mexican Administrative Agent to the Borrower on the Peso Borrowing Date, at Banco ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, S.A., Institución de Banca Múltiple, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Grupo Financiero, in Mexico City and (II) on any Peso Business Day prior to the Acquisition Date, upon written notice and instruction from the Borrower, release such

funds in Pesos to the Borrower to permit the Borrower to acquire Dollars in foreign exchange transactions arranged by the Borrower,provided that the Dollars so acquired are forthwith deposited into the New York Funding Account for withdrawal on the Acquisition Date. During the period between the Peso Borrowing Date and the date on which it releases such funds, the Borrower shall invest the funds held in such account in such overnight or other short-term liquid investments, and any interest or other amounts earned thereon shall be added to and considered part of the funds held with the Mexican Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Acquisition Date shall not have occurred by the close of business in New York City on the 10th Business Day after the Peso Borrowing Date, the Loans shall be prepaid in full on the third LIBO Business Day thereafter, together with interest thereon to the date of payment.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent or the Mexican Administrative Agent, as applicable, receives notice from a Lender before the proposed relevant Borrowing Date that such Lender will not make its share of the Dollar Loans or Peso Loans available as provided in this Section 2.04, then the Administrative Agent or Mexican Administrative Agent (as applicable) may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with this Section 2.04 and may, in reliance on such assumption, make a corresponding share of the Dollar Loans or Peso Loans (as applicable) available to the Borrower. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent or Mexican Administrative Agent, as applicable, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent or Mexican Administrative Agent, as applicable, forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the day such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to such Agent, at Article 8 in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by such Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or Article 9 in the case of the Borrower, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and the rate of interest otherwise applicable to such Loan (including, after the date of any demand, pursuant to Section 2.10(c)); provided that any such payment by the Borrower shall be subject to Section 2.13. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent or Mexican Administrative Agent, as applicable, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

Section 2.05. Interest Period Elections. Article 10 Each Borrowing shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in the Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may continue such Borrowing for subsequent Interest Periods, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(a) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify (i) in the case of Dollar Loans, the Administrative Agent thereof by telephone or through a notice in writing not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three LIBO Adjusted Business Days before the effective date of the proposed election and (ii) in the case of Peso Loans, the Mexican Administrative Agent thereof by telephone or through a notice in writing not later than 11:00 a.m., Mexico City time, three Peso Business Days before the effective date of the proposed election (an “Interest Period Election”). Each such Interest Period Election shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent or the Mexican Administrative Agent,

as applicable, of a written Interest Period Election in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-2.

(b) Each telephonic and written Interest Period Election shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02 and subsection (d) of this Section:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Period Election applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clause (iii) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Period Election, which shall be, in the case of a Dollar Loan, a LIBO Business Day or, in the case of a Peso Loan, a Peso Business Day; and

(iii) the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of “Interest Period”.

If an Interest Period Election does not specify an Interest Period, the Borrower will be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of the same duration as for the prior Interest Period with respect to such Borrowing.

(c) Promptly after it receives an Interest Period Election, the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of any Interest Period Election for Peso Loans, the Mexican Administrative Agent) shall advise each Lender with a Loan subject to such Interest Period Election as to the details thereof and such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(d) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Period Election before the end of an Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing, the Borrower will be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of the same duration as for the prior Interest Period with respect to such Borrowing.

Section 2.06. Termination or Reduction of Commitments. Article 11 Unless previously terminated, the Commitments of each Tranche will terminate on the Borrowing Date with respect to such Tranche immediately after the relevant Borrowing hereunder.

(a) The Commitments will be reduced upon the consummation of any Prepayment Debt Incurrence occurring after the Effective Date and on or prior to the Borrowing Dates in an aggregate amount equal to the principal amount of such Prepayment Debt Incurrence.

(b) The Borrower may at any time between the Effective Date and the Peso Borrowing Date terminate or reduce the Commitments; provided that the amount of each reduction of the Commitments shall be at least US$10,000,000 or an integral multiple of US$5,000,000 in excess thereof. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Mexican Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under this clause (c) at least three LIBO Adjusted Business Days before

the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly after it receives any such notice, the Administrative Agent and the Mexican Administrative Agent shall advise the affected Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section will be irrevocable.

(c) Any termination or reduction of the Commitments will be permanent and will be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments prior to such termination or reduction.

Section 2.07. Payment at Maturity. Without limitation of Section 2.08, the Borrower unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of Peso Loans, the Mexican Administrative Agent) on the Bridge Maturity Date, for the account of each Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of such Lender’s Loan (payable in Pesos, in the case of Peso Loans).

Section 2.08. Optional and Mandatory Prepayments. Article 12 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower will have the right at any time to prepay the Loans in whole or in part, subject to the provisions of this Section, in each case in an aggregate principal amount of not less than US$5,000,000 (calculated with respect to the Peso Loans included in such prepayment using the Dollar Amount thereof at the date of such prepayment) or, if less, the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Loans. Each such prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount so repaid to the date of such prepayment.

(a) Mandatory Prepayment Events. Within five LIBO Business Days after receipt of any Net Proceeds by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall prepay Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Net Proceeds; provided that if the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent within two LIBO Business Days after receipt of such Net Proceeds that the Borrower intends to exchange currency of a type different from that in which such Net Proceeds are received in order to facilitate prepayment of the Loans, then such prepayment may be deferred by up to 30 days after the date of such receipt. Each such prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount so repaid to the date of such prepayment.

(b) Notice and Application of Prepayments. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any Peso Loans, the Mexican Administrative Agent) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment of Loans, which notice shall be (i) if such Loans are Dollar Loans, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three LIBO Adjusted Business Days before the date of prepayment and (ii) if such Loans are Peso Loans, not later than 11:00 a.m., Mexico City time, three Peso Business Days before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. Promptly after it receives any such notice, the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of Peso Loans, the Mexican Administrative Agent) shall advise the affected Lenders of the contents thereof. All prepayments under this Agreement shall be applied to prepay all Loans pro rata in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof at the time such payment is made.

Section 2.09. Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Mexican Administrative Agent, each for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or the Borrower and the Mexican Administrative Agent, as applicable.

Section 2.10. Interest. Article 13 The Dollar Loans comprising each Borrowing shall bear interest for each Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for Dollar Loans for such day (subject to the provisions of Section 2.11).

(a) The Peso Loans comprising each Borrowing shall bear interest for each Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing at the TIIE Rate plus the Applicable Margin for the Peso Loans for such day, payable in Pesos.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, all outstanding Loans and any overdue interest shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, to the extent permitted under applicable law, at a rate per annum equal to Article 14 in the case of overdue principal of or interest on any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding subsections of this Section (provided that, after the end of the final Interest Period with respect to such Loan, the LIBO Rate (in the case of Dollar Loans) or the TIIE Rate (in the case of Peso Loans) for such Loan shall be determined by the Administrative Agent on the basis of such period, not longer than one month or 28 days, respectively, as the Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion) or Article 15 in the case of any other amount, the rate that is then applicable to overdue principal pursuant to clause (i) above (A) in respect of a Dollar Loan, if such amount is owing in Dollars or (B) in respect of a Peso Loan, if such amount is owing in Pesos (or, if no such Dollar Loan or Peso Loan, as applicable, is outstanding at such time, as would be applicable if such Loan were outstanding).

(c) Interest accrued on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to the Borrowing of which such Loan is a part and, in the case of Dollar Loans, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, each day during such Interest Period that occurs at intervals of three months’ duration after the first day of such Interest Period; provided that Article 16 interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.10(b) shall be payable on demand and Article 17 upon any repayment of any Loan, interest accrued on the principal amount repaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment.

(d) All interest hereunder will be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and will be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Each applicable Adjusted LIBO Rate and (except as provided in the definition thereof) Alternate Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and each applicable TIIE Rate shall be determined by the Mexican Administrative Agent, and each such determination thereof will be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.11. Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) If before the beginning of any Interest Period for a Borrowing of Dollar Loans:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination will be conclusive absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting

the London interbank market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(ii) Lenders whose Loans aggregate more than 50% of such Borrowing provide notice to the Administrative Agent, with a copy to the Borrower, that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, from such date (the “Alternate Rate Date”) until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Period Election that requests the continuation of any Borrowing of Dollar Loans will be ineffective and (ii) all Dollar Loans will bear interest at the Alternate Rate for such period.

(b) As used herein, “Alternate Rate” means for any Lender and for any day a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Base Funding Rate for such Lender for such day plus (ii) the Applicable Margin for Dollar Loans for such date; and “Base Funding Rate” means for any Lender and for any day a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day; provided that if any Lender that is required to make or maintain Alternate Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11 determines in good faith that the Base Funding Rate as so determined does not accurately reflect the cost to such Lender of obtaining funds to fund its Loans, then (A) such Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly (but in any event within 10 Business Days) after the Alternate Rate Date and (B) during the 20 Business Days after the date on which such notice is given (the “Negotiation Period”), the Borrower and such Lender shall negotiate in good faith to determine the rate necessary to compensate such Lender for its cost of obtaining as of the commencement of the then current Interest Period (and thereafter as of the commencement of each subsequent Interest Period), funds for such Interest Period in an amount equal to the applicable principal amount of such Lender’s Dollar Loan or Loans (which may be established with reference to a fluctuating benchmark or otherwise). If the Borrower and such Lender agree to any such rate pursuant to the preceding sentence, the rate so agreed shall be the Base Funding Rate for such Lender for each such day or Interest Period, as applicable. Such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of such Base Funding Rate promptly upon such determination and on the first day of each Interest Period thereafter, and, if requested by the Administrative Agent from time to time, shall provide the Administrative Agent sufficient information to allow it to determine such Base Funding Rate from time to time. If the Borrower and such Lender do not agree to such rate, then the Borrower shall, within 10 days after the end of the Negotiation Period (and on three LIBO Business Day’s notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent), either (and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.16) (x) require such Lender to sell its Dollar Loans in accordance with Section 2.16 or (y) prepay all Loans of such Lender, with interest accrued thereon to the date of such prepayment calculated at the Alternate Rate applicable from time to time during such period calculated using the Base Funding Rate determined solely for this purpose without regard to theproviso thereof, from and after the date on which such Alternate Rate otherwise first so applies to but excluding the date of such prepayment.

Section 2.12. Increased Costs. Article 18 If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, assessment (contribution), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate in the case of Dollar Loans); or

(ii) impose on any Lender, the London interbank market or the Mexican interbank market, as may be appropriate, any other condition affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make Loans) or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) (excluding, for purposes of this Section 2.12, any such increased costs resulting from Taxes and Other Taxes (which shall be exclusively governed by Section 2.14)), then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it for such additional cost incurred or reduction suffered in accordance with subsection (c) of this Section.

(b) If any Lender determines in good faith that any Change in Law (other than a Change in Law with respect to Taxes or Other Taxes, which shall be governed by the provisions of Section 2.14) regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for any such reduction suffered in accordance with subsection (c) of this Section.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate it or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection Article 18 or (b) of this Section (and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating such increased costs owed to such Lender) shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall constitute prima facie evidence of any such amounts payable. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay by any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section will not constitute a waiver of its right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower will not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased cost or reduction incurred more than 180 days before it notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased cost or reduction and of its intention to claim compensation therefor. However, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above will be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.13. Break-Funding Payments. If Article 19 any principal of any Loan is repaid on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or pursuant to Section 2.11 or Section 2.16), Article 20 the Borrower fails to borrow, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or Article 21 any Loan is assigned on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16, then the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for its loss, cost and expense attributable to such event, which shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (a) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate (or, in the case of any Peso Loan, the TIIE Rate) that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the end of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow or continue, the Interest Period that would have begun on the date of such failure), over (b) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the beginning of such period, for Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market (or, in the case of any Peso Loan, for Peso deposits of a comparable amount and period from appropriate sources in the markets or from the sources through which such Lender funds its Peso Loan). A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating such increased costs owed to such Lender that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall constitute prima facie evidence of such amounts payable. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.14. Taxes. (a) All payments by the Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if the Borrower shall be required, by law or otherwise, to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the Borrower shall make such deduction or withholding and pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (ii) the sum payable by the Borrower to the relevant Lender Party under the Loan Documents shall be increased as necessary so that, after all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) are made, each such Lender Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender Party, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by, or claimed from, or assessed in respect of, such Lender Party with respect to any payment by or obligation of the Borrower under the Loan Documents (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, surcharges, interest and reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or related thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment delivered to the Borrower by a Lender Party, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of any Lender

Party, shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. As soon as practicable after such Lender Party pays any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes to a Governmental Authority, the Lender Party shall deliver to the Borrower a copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower.

(d) As soon as practicable after the Borrower pays any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment, duly stamped or acknowledged by the relevant Governmental Authority, or other evidence of such payment, reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Each Lender Party hereby represents as of the relevant Borrowing Date (or in the case of any Lender that is an assignee pursuant to Section 9.04(a), other than any such assignee Lender that has notified the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is electing to be subject to the proviso in clause (b)(v) of Section 9.04, as of each date the assignment of any Commitment or Loans becomes effective) that it is either (i) a Mexican Bank or (ii) a Foreign Financial Institution that is resident (or, if applicable, the main office of which is a resident) in a country that has entered into a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation with Mexico.

(f) Each Lender Party (other than a Lender Party that is a Mexican Bank) shall, at the request of the Borrower, made pursuant to a written notice given at least 10 days prior to the relevant filing date, use reasonable commercial efforts to file with the Ministry of Finance or, where applicable, in accordance with the laws of any jurisdiction outside Mexico from or through which payments hereunder or under any Notes are made, a form, certificate or other similar document requested by the Borrower (including without limitation any such form, certificate or other similar document that may be required to maintain such Lender Party’s status as a Foreign Financial Institution) if (i) such filing is required under applicable law or a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation then in effect, (ii) such filing would avoid the need for making any tax withholding or deduction, or reduce the amount of any such withholding or deduction which may thereafter accrue to or for the account of such Lender Party pursuant to this Section and (iii) such filing would not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender Party, require such Lender Party to disclose any confidential or proprietary information or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that nothing in this Section shall interfere with the rights of any Lender Party to conduct its fiscal or tax affairs in such manner as it deems appropriate.

(g) If after the Borrower has paid any Indemnified Taxes for the account of any Lender Party under this Section 2.14, such Lender Party thereafter receives a cash rebate of such payment (but not a credit with respect to such payment) from the applicable authority expressly identified by such authority as being in respect of such Indemnified Taxes for which the Borrower has made such payment, such Lender Party shall pay to the Borrower, within 60 days after receipt of such rebate, the amount of such rebate. Any Lender Party shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate, at the request and sole expense of the Borrower, with the Borrower’s efforts to submit a claim for such rebate, provided that such cooperation shall not, in the good faith judgment of such

Lender Party, require such Lender Party to disclose any confidential or proprietary information or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender Party.

Section 2.15. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. Article 22 The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it under the Loan Documents (whether of principal, interest or fees or amounts payable under Section 2.12, 2.13, or 2.14 or otherwise) on or before the time expressly required under the relevant Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, before 3:00 P.M., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amount received after such time on any day may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, except that (i) payments in respect of Peso Loans shall be made to the Mexican Administrative Agent at its offices in Mexico City and (ii) payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent and the Mexican Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payment received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly after receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not (i) in the case of any payment of principal on or interest with respect to any Dollar Loan, a LIBO Business Day, the date for payment will be extended to the next succeeding LIBO Business Day, (ii) in the case of any payment of principal on or interest with respect to any Peso Loan, a Peso Business Day, the date for payment will be extended to the next succeeding Peso Business Day and (iii) in the case of any other payment hereunder, a Business Day, the date for payment will be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in each case, if such payment accrues interest, interest thereon will be payable for the period of such extension. All payments with respect to Dollar Loans under each Loan Document shall be made in Dollars and all payments with respect to Peso Loans under each Loan Document shall be made in Pesos.

(a) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent or Mexican Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder and payable through the Administrative Agent or Mexican Administrative Agent, as relevant, the Agent with insufficient funds shall promptly notify the other such Agent thereof, and the Administrative Agent and the Mexican Administrative Agent shall jointly apply such funds Article 23 first, to pay fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of fees then due to such parties, Article 24 second, to pay interest then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest then due to such parties, Article 25 third, to pay principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties and Article 26 fourth, to pay any other amounts then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts then due to such parties.

(b) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash

at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that Article 27 if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and Article 28 the provisions of this subsection shall not apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this subsection shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

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

(d) If any Lender fails to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(a), 2.15(c) or 9.03(b), the Relevant Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Relevant Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

(e) All calculations of ratable amounts required for sharing of payments or otherwise under this Section 2.15 shall be determined on the basis of the Dollar Amount of outstanding Loans determined on the date on which any such payment is first received.

Article 29 If (x) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or (y) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14 in excess of the amount that the Borrower would be required to pay if such Lender were a Foreign Financial Institution resident (or, if applicable, the main office of which is a resident) in a country that has entered into a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation with Mexico, then such Lender (except in the case of (y) if the Lender makes the election set forth in the proviso

to clause (b)(v) of Section 9.04) shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.14, as the case may be, in the future, (b) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and (c) would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower shall pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(a) If (x) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12 or (y) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14 in excess of the amount that the Borrower would be required to pay if such Lender were a Foreign Financial Institution resident (or, if applicable, the main office of which is a resident) in a country that has entered into a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation with Mexico, unless such Lender has made the election set forth in the proviso to clause (b)(v) of Section 9.04, or (z) any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that Article 30 the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, Article 31 such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and Article 32 in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments that is material to the Borrower in its reasonable judgment. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment cease to apply.

(c) If the Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.14 of this Agreement (in this last case, in excess of additional amounts that would be paid to such Lender if it were a Foreign Financial Institution resident (or, if applicable, the main office of which is a resident) in a country that has entered into a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation with Mexico), the Borrower shall be entitled to prepay the Loans of any Lender affected by such conditions by providing five LIBO Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of such prepayment (which prepayment shall occur not more than 20 days after the date of such notice); provided that the Borrower has endeavored in good faith to find an assignee to purchase the Loans of such Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(a) and has been unable to find any such assignee for thirty days from the commencement of such efforts; and provided further, that Lenders claiming equivalent additional amounts shall be treated equally. On the date of any such prepayment, the Lenders shall be paid the principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid, together with interest accrued thereon

through the date of prepayment and all other amounts due, with respect to such Loans, hereunder. Payments pursuant to this Section 2.16(c) shall not be subject to Section 2.15.

Section 2.17. Judgment Currency. Article 33 If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from the Borrower under any Loan Document in the currency expressed to be payable in such Loan Document (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of any Peso Loan, the Mexican Administrative Agent) could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at (i) where the specified currency is Dollars, the Administrative Agent’s New York City office and (ii) where the specified currency is Pesos, the Mexican Administrative Agent’s Mexico City office, in each case at 11:00 a.m. (New York City or Mexico City time, as applicable) on the Peso Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or any Agent under any Loan Document shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day (or Peso Business Day, in the case of any sum where the specified currency is Pesos) following receipt by such Lender or such Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, the Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or such Agent, as applicable, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (i) the sum originally due to such Lender or Agent, as applicable, and (ii) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 2.15, such Lender or Agent, as applicable, agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower.

shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and no Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (b) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (c) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (d) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (e) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than, in the case of the Administrative Agent, to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Syndication Agent shall have no obligations, duties or responsibilities whatsoever under the Loan Documents.

Section 8.04. Authority to Rely on Certain Writings, Statements and Advice. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely on, and shall not incur any liability for relying on, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely on any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any KOF Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 8.05. Sub-Agents and Related Parties. The Administrative Agent or Mexican Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through one or more sub-agents appointed by it. The Administrative Agent or Mexican Administrative Agent, as applicable, and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of the duties of the Administrative Agent or Mexican Administrative Agent, as applicable, and exercise the rights and powers of the Administrative Agent or Mexican Administrative Agent, as applicable, through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding Sections of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agents and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.

Section 8.06.Resignation; Successor Administrative Agents. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent or Mexican Administrative Agent, as applicable, as provided in this Section, the Administrative Agent or Mexican Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving at least 15 Business Days’ advance notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or Mexican Administrative Agent, as applicable, and 10 Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, acting jointly and with the consent of the Borrower, to appoint a successor to such Administrative Agent or Mexican Administrative Agent (as applicable). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent or Mexican Administrative Agent (as applicable) gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent or Mexican Administrative Agent (as applicable) may, on behalf of

the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Mexican Administrative Agent (as applicable), which shall be (i) in the case of the Administrative Agent, a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank and (ii) in the case of the Mexican Administrative Agent, a Mexican Bank with an office in Mexico City, or an Affiliate of any such Person. Upon acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent or Mexican Administrative Agent, as applicable, by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to any such successor Administrative Agent or Mexican Administrative Agent (as applicable) shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and such successor. After any Administrative Agent’s or Mexican Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Administrative Agent or Mexican Administrative Agent, as applicable.

Section 8.07. Credit Decisions by Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance on any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance on any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based on this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement will be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

Section 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. Article 101 No failure or delay by any Lender Party in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Lender Parties under the Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by subsection (a) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Lender Party had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(a) This Agreement and any provision hereof may not be waived, amended or modified except by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall:

(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without its written consent;

(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fee payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender Party affected thereby;

(iii) postpone the maturity of any Loan or any date for the payment of any interest or fee payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender Party affected thereby;

(iv) change Section 2.15(a) or Section 2.15(b) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, or change Section 2.17 without the written consent of each Lender;

(v) change any provision of Section 2.03(b) or the definition of “Initial Peso Exchange Rate” without the consent of each Peso Lender (and such agreement shall not otherwise require the consent of the Required Lenders); or

(vi) change any provision of this Section or the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of this Agreement specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Tranche or Tranches) required to take any action thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, or each Lender of such Tranche or Tranches, as the case may be.

provided further that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent without its prior written consent and (B) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of either the Dollars Lenders or Peso Lenders (but not both) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the requisite percentage in interest of the affected Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Lenders were the only Lenders hereunder at the time.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Required Lenders enter into or consent to any waiver, amendment or modification pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section, no consent of any other Lender will be required if, when such waiver, amendment or modification becomes effective, (i) the Commitment of each Lender not consenting thereto terminates and (ii) all amounts owing to it or accrued for its account hereunder are paid in full.

Section 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. Article 102 The Borrower shall pay (a) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Mexican Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of special New York and Mexican counsel for the Agents, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (b) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Lender Party, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Lender Party, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents (including its rights under this Section) or the Loans, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Loans.

(a) The Borrower shall indemnify each of the Lender Parties and their respective Related Parties (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of Article 103 the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, Article 104 any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, or Article 105 any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not be available to any Indemnitee to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,

liabilities or related expenses resulted (x) from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, (y) pursuant to a dispute between Indemnitees and not predicated in any substantial manner on actions or failures to act by the Borrower or (z) solely in the case of any Affiliate of JPMorgan Chase Bank or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Senior Funding Inc. (but not JPMorgan Chase Bank or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Senior Funding Inc.), pursuant to a dispute involving such Affiliate arising solely in such Affiliate’s Related Transaction Capacity and not predicated in any substantial manner on the Loan Documents, the Other Loan Documents or any commitment letter or other agreement preliminary or incidental to the Loan Documents and Other Loan Documents. As used above, a matter is within the “Related Transaction Capacity” of an Affiliate of JPMorgan Chase Bank or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Senior Funding Inc. if, in taking or failing to take any action, such Affiliate was acting pursuant to its engagement by one of the parties to the Acquisition as financial advisor, and not pursuant to or related to the role of JPMorgan Chase Bank or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Senior Funding Inc. or any of their respective Affiliates as an Agent, Co-Lead Arranger and Joint Bookrunner, Lender or similar capacity with respect to the Loan Documents, the Other Loan Documents or any commitment letter or other agreement preliminary or incidental to the Loan Documents and Other Loan Documents.

(b) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or Mexican Administrative Agent under subsection Article 102 or (a) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and/or Mexican Administrative Agent, as applicable, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent and/or the Mexican Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in their capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based on the proportion of the aggregate Dollar Amount of all Loans represented by the aggregate Dollar Amount of such Lender’s Loan or Loans at such time (or, if the Borrowing Dates have not occurred, of the aggregate Commitments represented by its Commitment or Commitments), all determined on the date on which such claim arose, as determined in the sole good faith discretion of such Agent.

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of any failure of such Indemnitee to perform its obligations or undertakings in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(d) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable within ten Business Days after written demand therefor setting forth a reasonably detailed explanation as to the reason for any amounts.

Section 9.04. Successors and Assigns. Article 106 The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the

Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (except the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly provided herein, the directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors of the Lender Parties) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

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

(i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that solely for purposes of this clause (b)(i), no collateralized loan obligation fund or similar Person that purchases or invests in bank loans or similar extensions of credit and that is managed by a Lender or any of such Lender’s other Affiliates shall be deemed to be an “Affiliate” of such Lender by virtue of such management;

(ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of its (I) Dollar Loan Commitments or Dollar Loans or (II) Peso Loan Commitments or Peso Loans;

(iii) unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date on which the relevant Assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than US$5,000,000 (or, in the case of Peso Loans, Ps. 50,000,000); provided that this clause (iii) shall not apply to an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans;

(iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment, together with a processing and recordation fee of US$2,500 which shall be paid by the parties to such assignment; provided that only one such fee shall be due in respect of a simultaneous assignment to more than one Affiliate of a Lender;

(v) each such assignee will be either a Mexican Bank or registered as a Foreign Financial Institution that is resident (or, if applicable, the main office of which is resident) in a country that has entered into a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation with Mexico, provided that such registration is required to avoid the imposition of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes covered by Section 2.14 in excess of the rate applicable to such a registered Foreign Financial Institution or it is otherwise agreed by such assignee that any amount payable by the Borrower under Section 2.14 to such assignee shall not be higher than the amount payable to an institution so registered.

(vi) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a completed Administrative Questionnaire;

provided that no consent of the Borrower otherwise required under this clause shall be required if an Event of Default is continuing at the time of such assignment. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(b) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York City a copy of each Assignment delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, their respective Commitments and the principal amounts of the Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the parties hereto may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by any party hereto at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

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

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or any other Lender Party, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that Article 107 such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, Article 108 such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and Article 109 the Borrower and the other Lender Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to

any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(a) that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, and 2.14 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15(c) as though it were a Lender.

(e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.

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

Section 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower in the Loan Documents and in certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall, from the date made or entered, survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any principal of or accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable hereunder is outstanding and unpaid or any Commitment has not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 9.03 and Article 8 shall survive and remain in full force and effect for two years from the date on which the Commitments have expired or terminated and the principal of and interest on each Loan have been paid in full.

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

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

extent) of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, (d) the other provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in favor of the Lender Parties in order to carry out the intentions of the parties thereto as nearly as may be possible and (e) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any such provision in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.08. Right of Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any obligations of the Borrower due hereunder and held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have.

Section 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. Article 110 This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

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

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

(c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably designates, appoints, authorizes and empowers as its agent for service of process, CT Corporation System, at its offices currently located at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Process Agent”), to receive and forward on its behalf service of any and all process, notices or other documents that may be served in any suit, action or proceeding relating hereto in any New York Court (as defined in subsection (b) of this Section). The Borrower consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in this Section 9.09 by serving a copy thereof upon the Process Agent. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Lenders agree that to the extent lawful and possible, written notice of said service upon the Process Agent shall also be mailed by registered or certified

airmail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Borrower at the address provided pursuant to Section 9.01. If said service upon the Process Agent shall not be possible or shall otherwise be impractical after reasonable efforts to effect the same, the Borrower consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 9.09 by the mailing of a copy thereof by registered or certified airmail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the address of the Borrower provided pursuant to Section 9.01, which service shall be effective 14 days after deposit in the United States Postal Service. The Borrower agrees that such service (1) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (2) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Without limitation of the foregoing, each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in any Loan Document will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

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

Section 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

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

Section 9.12.Confidentiality. Each Lender Party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed Article 111 to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors strictly on a need to know basis (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and will be instructed on and will agree to keep such Information confidential), Article 112 to the extent requested by any regulatory

authority, including the regulatory authority having jurisdiction over any Affiliate, Article 113 to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations, or by any subpoena or similar legal process, Article 114 to any other party to this Agreement, Article 115 in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document or the enforcement of any right thereunder, Article 116 subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section to any actual or prospective assignee of or Participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, Article 117 with the consent of the Borrower or Article 118 to the extent such Information either (a) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (b) becomes available to any Lender Party on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to any Lender Party on a nonconfidential basis before disclosure by the Borrower.

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