ARTICLE II

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS

Section 2.1. Revolving Loan Commitments; Notes.

(a) [Intentionally Deleted.]

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make, during the Commitment Period, revolving loans to Borrower in Dollars (the “Dollar Revolving Loans”) or Pesos (the “Peso Revolving Loans”) (at the Exchange Rate), in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender, as Borrower may select. Borrower may select Dollar Revolving Loans or Peso Revolving Loans, provided that (i) any Dollar Borrowing shall be pro rata among Lenders with Revolving Loan Commitments for Dollar Revolving Loans, and any Peso Borrowing shall be pro rata among Lenders with Revolving Loan Commitments for Peso Revolving Loans and (ii) at no time shall there be more than 10 Dollar Revolving Loans outstanding or more than 10 Peso Revolving Loans outstanding. Anything contained in this Agreement to contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans at any time exceed the Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect. Until the Final Maturity Date Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section 2.1(b).

(c) The Revolving Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by non-negotiable promissory notes (pagarés no negociables) of the Borrower dated the Effective Date, in each case in substantially the form of Exhibit A (the “Revolving Notes”), appropriately completed, representing the obligation of the Borrower, as guaranteed (por aval) by the Guarantors, to pay to such Lender the unpaid principal amount of the applicable Loan being made by such Lender on the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the references to the LIBOR Rate in any Revolving Note with respect to Dollar Revolving Loans, the Borrower and the Lenders agree that the interest rate shall be determined in accordance with this Agreement and, in the case of a request by Borrower of a Base Rate Loan or a conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, the Lender and/or Borrower may exchange any Revolving Note for a Revolving Note that references the Base Rate instead of the LIBOR Rate and each Lender agrees to return to the Borrower within ten (10) Business Days the Revolving Note being replaced. Notwithstanding the references to the TIIE Rate in any Revolving Note with respect to Peso Revolving Loans, the Borrower and the Lenders agree that the interest rate shall be determined in accordance with this Agreement. Each Revolving Note issued hereunder with respect to Dollar Revolving Loans or Peso Revolving Loans on the Effective Date shall reflect interest payable based on the Applicable Margin as of the Effective Date, provided, that, at its option and upon reasonable notice, the Administrative Agent and any affected Lender shall be permitted to require that the Borrower and Guarantors execute and deliver, in exchange for any Revolving Note, a replacement Revolving Note reflecting interest payable based on the Applicable Margin in effect as of the date of such exchange in respect of such Revolving Loan and each Lender agrees to return to the Borrower within ten (10) Business Days the Revolving Note being replaced.

(d) Provided no Default or Event of Default then exists, Borrower may agree with any Lender with an available Revolving Loan Commitment to convert any or all of such unused Revolving Loan Commitment from Dollar Revolving Loans to Peso Revolving Loans (or Peso Revolving Loans to Dollar Revolving Loans) at the Peso Equivalent (or Dollar Equivalent, respectively); provided, however, the total Revolving Loan Commitments after giving effect to such conversion shall not exceed the original Revolving Loan Commitment on the Effective Date as reduced by the Reducing Revolver Portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment. In order to effectuate the foregoing, not later than thirty (30) days prior to the Final Maturity Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a written notice (acknowledged by any agreeing Lender) (the “Commitment Transfer Request Notice”) requesting a transfer of all or a portion of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment, provided, that, the Borrower may not submit more than five (5) Commitment Transfer Request Notices each year. On the date of such transfer, Borrower shall execute a new Note to the applicable Lender(s) reflecting the

new Revolving Loan Commitment from Dollar Revolving Loans to Peso Revolving Loans (or Peso Revolving Loans to Dollar Revolving Loans), as applicable. The Revolving Loan Commitments (and resulting percentages of all Lenders) shall be automatically adjusted for such conversion.

Section 2.2. Acknowledgement; Procedure for Borrowing Revolving Loans.

(a) The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit B (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City time, at least three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date), requesting that each Lender make a Revolving Loan on such Borrowing Date and specifying (i) the amount of Revolving Loans to be borrowed, (ii) whether the Revolving Loans are to be Dollar Revolving Loans and/or Peso Revolving Loans, (iii) the requested Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, (iv) in the case of Dollar Revolving Loans, whether such Dollar Revolving Loans are LIBOR Loans or Base Rate Loans, and (v) in the case of Dollar Revolving Loans that are LIBOR Loans, the LIBOR Period therefor (the “Notice of Borrowing”). Any Notice of Borrowing received after 11:00 a.m., New York City time, shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day. Each Dollar Borrowing under the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be in an amount equal to US$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of US$500,000 in excess thereof, unless such Dollar Borrowing is of the full unused amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments relating to Dollar Revolving Loans, in which case such Dollar Borrowing shall be for the full unused amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment relating to such Dollar Revolving Loans. Each Peso Borrowing under the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be in an amount equal to P$10,000,000 or a whole multiple of P$5,000,000 in excess thereof, unless such Peso Borrowing is of the full unused amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments relating to Peso Revolving Loans, in which case such Peso Borrowing shall be for the full unused amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment relating to such Peso Revolving Loans.

(b) Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (but, assuming timely notice from the Borrower pursuant to clause (a), not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to the relevant Borrowing Date) notify each Lender thereof. Not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date each Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent an amount in immediately available funds in Dollars or Pesos, as applicable, equal to the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender, to the Dollar account (in the case of Dollar Revolving Loans) or the Peso account (in the case of Peso Revolving Loans) of the Administrative Agent referred to in Schedule 10.6, or to such other account as most recently designated by the Administrative Agent for such purpose by notice to such Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article III has

not been satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall credit the amounts so received, in like funds, to the account of the Borrower in New York City, in the case of Dollar Revolving Loans, or in Mexico City, in the case of Peso Revolving Loans designated in the relevant Notice of Borrowing or otherwise apply such amounts as the Borrower shall irrevocably direct in the Notice of Borrowing.

Section 2.3. Repayment.

(a) The Reducing Revolver Portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment shall be reduced on September 30 of each year (commencing September 30, 2007) in the amount of USD$3,000,000 each until such time as the Revolving Loan Commitment is equal to USD$50,000,000 (or the Fixed Dollar Equivalent). Amounts repaid on the Reducing Revolver Portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.3 may not be reborrowed.

(b) Except as set forth above, the principal of the Revolving Loans of each Lender shall be payable in full on the Final Maturity Date.

Section 2.4. Prepayments.

(a) Optional Prepayments.

(i) [Intentionally Deleted.]

(ii) Borrower may prepay the Revolving Loans, in whole or in part, by providing irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, specifying the date and amount of prepayment, no later than (A) with respect to LIBOR Loans and TIIE Loans, two Business Days prior to the date of the proposed prepayment and (B) with respect to Base Rate Loans, 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the same date of the proposed voluntary prepayment. Provided no Default or Event of Default then exists, Borrower may direct to pay Dollar Revolving Loans or Peso Revolving Loans, pro rata among Lenders with Revolving Loan Commitments with respect thereto, which are thus not in accordance with the Sharing Percentage among all Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11.

(iii) Any prepayment made pursuant to subsection (ii) of this Section 2.4(a) shall not incur any penalty or premium, but shall be subject to the indemnity provisions of Section 2.15, in addition to any other interest, fees, expenses or other amounts owing hereunder on the date of the prepayment.

(iv) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender entitled to receive a portion thereof. If such notice is given, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest to, and any other amounts then due on, each such date on the amount prepaid. The aggregate minimum amount of any prepayment of the Revolving Loans shall be at least US$1,000,000, and in multiples of US$500,000 thereof (or the Peso Equivalent of such amount) in excess thereof, or, if less, the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans then outstanding.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i) If on any date the Borrower or any of the Subsidiary Loan Parties shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Prepayment Event described in clause (a) of the definition thereof, the Borrower shall make a prepayment of the Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds received by the Borrower and the Subsidiary Loan Parties in excess of US$10,000,000 during any fiscal year; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to prepay the Revolving Loans as a result of such Prepayment Event, if the Borrower or such Subsidiary Loan Party shall have used such Net Cash Proceeds to acquire, improve or repair assets useful in its business by the Reinvestment Prepayment Date and, if not so applied by the Reinvestment Prepayment Date with respect to the relevant Prepayment Event, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied within ten Business Days following the Reinvestment Payment Date to prepay the Revolving Loans in accordance with this Section 2.4(b) and reduce the Reducing Revolver Portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment.

(ii) If on any date the Borrower or any of the Subsidiary Loan Parties shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Prepayment Event described in clause (b) of the definition thereof, the Borrower shall make a prepayment of the Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds received by Borrower in excess of US$25,000,000 during any fiscal year which shall be applied to prepay the Revolving Loans in accordance with this Section 2.4(b) and reduce the Reducing Revolver Portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to prepay the

Revolving Loans as a result of such Prepayment Event, if, with respect to any Net Cash Proceeds received by the Borrower and the Subsidiary Loan Parties from such Prepayment Events, the Borrower or one of the Subsidiary Loan Parties uses such Net Cash Proceeds to repair or replace the affected property or asset, (y) the Borrower or a Subsidiary Loan Party enters into a contract for such repair or replacement within 180 days of the Prepayment Event, and (z) such repair or replacement is effected within 360 days of the Prepayment Event, and if such repair or replacement is not so contracted for or effected at the end of such 180 or 360 day period, as applicable, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied within ten Business Days of the end of such period to prepay the Revolving Loans in accordance with this Section 2.4(b) and reduce the Reducing Revolver Portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment.

(iii) If on any date the Borrower shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Prepayment Event described in clause (c) of the definition thereof, the Borrower shall make a prepayment of the Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds received by Borrower in excess of US$10,000,000 during any fiscal year; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to prepay the Revolving Loans as a result of such Prepayment Event, if the Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries shall have used such Net Cash Proceeds to acquire, improve or repair assets useful in its business and, if not so applied within 360 days after receipt thereof, shall be applied within ten Business Days of the end of such 360 day period to prepay the Revolving Loans in accordance with this Section 2.4(b) and reduce the Reducing Revolver Portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment.

(iv) [Intentionally Deleted.]

(v) Borrower shall, within 195 days after the end of each fiscal year, make a prepayment of the Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 25% of Borrower’s Excess Cash Flow, provided, however that (a) if there is no Default or Event of Default then existing and (b) the ratio of Borrower’s Consolidated Net Indebtedness to Borrower’s Consolidated EBITDA for the trailing eight (8) fiscal quarters divided by two is less than 2:00 to 1:00, then no such prepayment of Excess Cash Flow shall be required for such fiscal year.

(vi) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to clauses (i)-(iv) of this Section 2.4(b) shall be applied first, to permanently reduce the Reducing Revolver Portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment until such amount is reduced to $0.00 and second, to prepay the

Revolving Loans, on a pro rata basis. Amounts so repaid under the Reducing Revolver Portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment under this Section 2.4(b) may not be reborrowed. Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to clause (v) of this Section 2.4(b) shall be applied to permanently reduce the Reducing Revolver Portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment until such amount is reduced to $0.00 and after such time as the Reducing Revolver Portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment is reduced to $0.00, no prepayments shall be required pursuant to clause (v) of this Section 2.4(b).

(vii) Pending the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with this Section 2.4, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Agreement.

Payment or acceptance of the increased rate of interest provided for in this Section 2.5(d) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and full compliance with the covenants hereunder and shall not constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any Lender.

(f) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.5, interest on the LIBOR Loans shall be payable in arrears on each LIBOR Payment Date (except with respect to LIBOR Loans with a LIBOR Period of six months, in which case interest on such LIBOR Loan shall be payable every three months) interest on each Revolving Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Peso Interest Payment Date; and interest on each Base Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter.

(g) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such LIBOR Loans by such Lender (as reasonably determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error), payable on each date on which interest is payable on such LIBOR Loans, provided that the Borrower shall have received at least 15 days’ prior written notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall include with such notice a certificate from such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such reserves.

(a) Interest in respect of the Revolving Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed; and commitment fees shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable, notify the Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of the LIBOR Rate or the TIIE Rate; provided, however, that any failure to do so shall not relieve the Borrower of any liability hereunder.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower or any Lender, deliver to the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Sections 2.5(a) and (b).

Section 2.8. Inability to Determine Interest Rate.

(a) LIBOR. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate applicable pursuant to Section 2.5(a), for any LIBOR Period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice by facsimile or electronic transmission of such determination to the Borrower and each Dollar Lender at least one day prior to the last day of the current LIBOR Period. If such notice is given and until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent , then any portion of the outstanding principal balance hereof which bears interest determined in relation to the LIBOR Rate shall, subsequent to the end of the LIBOR period applicable thereto, bear interest at the Base Rate.

(b) TIIE Rate. If, for any Peso Interest Period, the TIIE Rate ceases to be published and no Substitute TIIE Rate is published by Banco de México, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice by facsimile or electronic transmission of such determination to the Borrower and each Lender. If such notice is given and until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, then any portion of the outstanding principal balance hereof which bears interest determined in relation to the TIIE Rate shall, subsequent to the end of the Peso Interest Period applicable thereto, bear interest at the latest TIIE Rate that has been published by Banco de México.

Section 2.9. Maximum Interest Rate. Anything in this Agreement or any Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, the interest rate on any Revolving Loans shall in no event be in excess of the maximum permitted by Applicable Law.

Section 2.10. Fees.

(b) Facility Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Effective Date to the Final Maturity Date, computed at the Facility Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Credit Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each December, March, June and September and on the Final Maturity Date or such earlier date as the Revolving Loan Commitments shall terminate as provided herein, commencing on the Effective Date.

(c) Lead Arranger. The Borrower will pay to the Lead Arranger, for its account, the fees in the amounts and at the times agreed to by the Lead Arranger and Borrower in the Fee Letter.

Section 2.11. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and/or 2.15, each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans (i) shall be made pro rata to each Tranche of Revolving Loans according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of each Tranche, as determined by the Administrative Agent on the date immediately prior to such payment date and (ii) shall be made to each Lender within each Tranche pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans held by each Lender in such Tranche.

(b) Payments by the Borrower of (i) principal and interest in respect of Dollar Revolving Loans and payments by the Borrower of fees on the Revolving Loan Commitment with respect to Dollar Revolving Loans shall be made in Dollars, (ii) principal and interest in respect of Peso Revolving Loans shall be made in Pesos, and payments by the Borrower of fees on the Revolving Loan Commitment with respect to Peso Revolving Loans shall be made in Pesos and (ii) all other amounts shall be made in Dollars or as otherwise agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or the Lender to whom such other amount is payable. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower on account of principal, interest, fees and other amounts due and payable hereunder shall be made without set-off, deduction, withholding or counterclaim, and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled to receive the same, at the Administrative Agent’s offices and accounts set forth in Schedule 10.6, in Dollars (at the New York office and account of the Administrative Agent) or Pesos (at the Mexico City office and account designated by the Administrative Agent), as required by the terms hereof, and in immediately available funds. The

Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lender or Lenders entitled to receive the same promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment on a Revolving Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day therefor, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day for such Revolving Loan unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding sentence, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of the Revolving Loans available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Effective Date or on each Borrowing Date, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) (A) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in the case of Dollar Revolving Loans and (B) the TIIE Rate in the case of Peso Revolving Loans and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of the Revolving Loans is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of the failure of such Lender to make such amount available to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Loans which were to have been made by such Lender, on demand, from the Borrower.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was

made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average (A) Federal Funds Effective Rate in the case of Revolving Loans and (B) the TIIE rate in the case of Peso Revolving Loans. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

Section 2.12. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by (or on behalf of) the Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any and all Taxes. In addition, the Borrower shall pay all Other Taxes (excluding in the case of each Lender and Agent, federal and state income taxes).

(b) If any Loan Party (or any Person on its behalf) shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document, then:

(i) the sum payable shall be increased by such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as necessary so that, after making all required deductions and withholdings applicable to Additional Amounts payable hereunder, the recipient thereof receives an amount equal to the sum that it would have received and retained had no such deductions or withholdings been made, unless such recipient has agreed to receive a lesser amount in a written instrument executed by such recipient, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and

(ii) the Borrower (or other Person on its behalf) shall make such deductions and withholdings and promptly shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Person entitled to receive any payment under the Loan Documents for the full amount of Taxes, Other Taxes and Further Taxes in the amount that such recipient specifies as necessary under Applicable Law to preserve the after-tax yield it would have received if such Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes had not been imposed, and any liability (including penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date such Person makes written demand therefor. Should the Borrower believe that

any such Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes for which it has so indemnified any Person were incorrectly asserted, the Borrower may (so long as any such actions could not reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on such Person) institute proceedings or otherwise make claims to recover such amounts and, should any such amounts be so recovered, the Borrower shall retain all such amounts.

(d) Within 45 days after the date of any payment by the Borrower of any Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes in connection with any payment by it under the Loan Documents, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof (or if paid electronically, adequate payment confirmation evidence as available under Applicable Law), or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to each applicable Lender or the Administrative Agent.

(e) If the Borrower is required to pay any amount to any Person pursuant to either paragraph (b) or (c) in an amount greater than would otherwise be applicable on the Effective Date, then such Person shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office or other relevant office so as to eliminate any such additional payment by the Borrower that may thereafter accrue, if such change (in the sole judgment of such Person) is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Person and shall cooperate with the Borrower to recover any contested amount.

(f) Unless the Borrower waives such requirement in writing, each Lender which is not a Mexican Financial Institution shall deliver to the Borrower (i) on or prior to the Effective Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof) and (ii) at such other times as may be necessary in the reasonable determination of the Borrower, following request by the Borrower to such Lender (which request may only be made twice during any fiscal year and upon any change in Applicable Law with respect to Taxes), a certificate confirming that such Lender complies with the requirements listed in clauses (x) through (z) of Section 4.13.

(g) The Lender shall promptly reimburse to the Borrower an amount in Dollars equal to the amount, if any, of any Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes deducted or withheld by the Borrower hereunder and actually used by the Lender to offset its tax liabilities in the United States of America. On July 1 of each calendar year, each Lender will give notice to the Borrower regarding the amount, if any, of the tax credit obtained by the Lender for the prior calendar year pursuant to the above, and the Lender will advance the corresponding Dollar amount to the Borrower, if any, within ten Business Days following the date of such notice. The Borrower’s indemnification and

reimbursement rights and the Lender’s reimbursement obligations under this Section 2.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement until six months after all of the Lenders’ tax returns for the years during which the Agreement was in existence are originally filed with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

Section 2.13. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan or TIIE Rate Loan hereunder or convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans or TIIE Rate Loans, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower thereof and such Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Rate Loans and/or TIIE Rate Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain such Revolving Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 2.15 hereof shall be applicable) and, unless and until the Borrower exercises the rights granted in the next sentence, such Lender’s pro rata share of all existing Revolving Loans and all subsequent Revolving Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans (and such Lender’s share of interest payments shall reflect the foregoing), in each case, until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain such LIBOR Loans or TIIE Rate Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 2.15 hereof shall be applicable). In the event such a notification is made, the Borrower shall have the right, but not the obligation, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, on or before 10:00 A.M. (Central time) on or before ten Banking Days following receipt of notice from such Lender, to reduce the individual Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender to zero upon making a prepayment, to be treated as a voluntary prepayment to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Section, equal to the amount of such Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans plus any funding losses attributed to the portion of such payment applied to LIBOR Loans and/or TIIE Rate Loans as provided herein. In the event the Borrower makes such an election, then, notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the amount of such prepayment shall be applied to outstanding LIBOR Loans and/or TIIE Rate Loans, as appropriate, to the extent of such Lender’s pro rata share thereof and, along with the amount paid on account of such funding losses, distributed to the Lender making such determination and as to which the Borrower has made such election.

Section 2.14. Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender; 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 Revolving 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 Revolving Loans) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law 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 Revolving 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 will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, and the calculations of such amounts in reasonable detail, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error, provided that the determinations shall be made on a reasonable basis. 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 on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.15. Funding Compensation Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay each Lender a prepayment compensation fee to cover the costs and expenses that Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in payment on any applicable scheduled payment date of any principal amount of the Loan of such Lender then due, (b) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of Revolving Loans or any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice in accordance with Section 2.2 or 2.4(a), respectively, (c) the making by the Borrower of a prepayment of the Revolving Loans on a day which is not the last day of the LIBOR Period or Peso Interest Period with respect thereto (whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender has previously consented to such prepayment) and (d) the assignment of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the LIBOR Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by such Lender to make or maintain its Revolving Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. In the case of a LIBOR Loan, such fee shall be deemed to include an amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such LIBOR Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBOR rate that would have been applicable to such LIBOR Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current LIBOR Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the LIBOR Period for such LIBOR Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and the calculation of such amounts in reasonable detail shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof. This covenant shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment of the Revolving Loans.

Section 2.16. Sharing of Payments, etc.

(a) Except with respect to voluntary prepayments made by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.4(a) which are made pro rata to Lenders with a Revolving Loan Commitment with respect to either Dollar Revolving Loans or Peso Revolving Loans, if any Lender shall obtain on account of the Obligations owing to it hereunder or in respect of its Loan any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) in excess of its Sharing Percentage of payments on account of the Obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (ii) purchase from the other Lenders such

participations in such amounts as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s Sharing Percentage (determined for this purpose according to the proportion of (A) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (B) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased pursuant to this Section 2.16 and will in each case notify the Lenders and the Borrower following any such purchases. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 10.10) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards fees and expenses due to Administrative Agent, (ii) second, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, (iii) third, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties and (iv) fourth, towards Obligations of Borrower under any Lender Hedging Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof.

Section 2.17. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender that is not a Mexican Financial Institution agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14(a) as to it, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize the consequence of such event; provided that such action shall not, in the judgment of such Lender, as the case may be, be illegal or materially and adversely economically or otherwise disadvantageous to it. If such Lender is entitled to compensation for the events specified under Section 2.12 or 2.14(a), or the Borrower is required to make a prepayment as a result of the operation of Section 2.13, such Lender shall endeavor for a period of 30 days to designate a different Lending Office for any Obligation affected by such event if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole opinion of such Lender, result in any economic, legal or regulatory or other disadvantage to such Lender or any of its affiliates.

Section 2.18. Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower may, upon no less than three Business Days’ notice, require that any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14(a), (b) may receive from the Borrower a prepayment as a result of the operation of Section 2.13 or (c) defaults in its obligation to make its Loan hereunder, be replaced with a replacement financial institution identified by the Borrower in such notice; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Applicable Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall not have eliminated the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14(a) or the operation of Section 2.13, (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, the Loan and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.15 if the Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of a LIBOR Period or Peso Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.9 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14(a), as the case may be and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

ARTICLE VIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 8.1. Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 8.9) appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as expressly are delegated to it by the Loan Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Loan Document: (a) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender and (c) no implied covenants, functions,

responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into any Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement or any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent (or any other Agent-Related Person) is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under the agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

Section 8.2. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under any Loan Document by or through agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates, and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for any degree of negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care.

Section 8.3. No Liability of Agent-Related Persons. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall: (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for: (i) any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Loan Parties, or any of the Borrower’s other Subsidiaries, or any officer thereof, contained in any Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any Agent-Related Person under or in connection with, any Loan Document, (ii) the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of any Loan Document, (iii) any failure of either Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder or (iv) any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by or on behalf of any Lender or any of its Affiliates. Except as specifically provided in the Loan Documents, no Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, any Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. No Agent-Related Person shall have any obligation to ascertain or to inquire as to the financial condition, operations or status of any Lender or as to the validity of any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by or on behalf of any Lender or any of its Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, in no event shall any Agent-Related Person or any Lender be liable to any Person (including the Borrower or any Lender) for any punitive, consequential or similar damages.

Section 8.4. Reliance by the Agent-Related Persons.

(a) Each Agent-Related Person shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any agreement (including this Agreement), note (including any Note), writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, electronic transmission, facsimile or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person(s), and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by any Agent-Related Person. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Each Agent-Related Person shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent-Related Person in all cases shall be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under any Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Majority Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act under any Loan Document pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Sections 3.1 and 3.2, each Lender shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted, or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter either sent by any Agent-Related Person to such Lender for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to the Lender or the Administrative Agent.

Section 8.5. Notice of Default. No Agent-Related Person shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless such Agent-Related Person shall have received written notice from a Lender or a Loan Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Such Agent-Related Person promptly shall notify the Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent promptly shall distribute to each Lender) of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Majority Lenders; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interests of the Lenders.

Section 8.6. Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent-Related Person hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, its Affiliates and its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender or other Agent-Related Person. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based upon such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, its Affiliates and its Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender represents to each other party hereto that it is a bank, savings and loan association or other similar savings institution, insurance company, investment fund or company or other financial institution which makes or acquires commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business, that it is participating hereunder as a Lender for such commercial purposes, and that it has the knowledge and experience to be and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of being a Lender hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based upon such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, its Affiliates and its Subsidiaries. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein or in the other Loan Documents required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent, no Agent-Related Person shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or its other Affiliates that may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.

Section 8.7. Indemnification of Agent-Related Persons. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender agrees to indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the applicable Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), pro rata, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any such Person of any portion of the Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse each Agent-Related Person upon demand for its ratable share of any fees, costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including internal counsel)) incurred by such Agent-Related Person in connection with the preparation, execution,

delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, any Loan Document or any document contemplated by or referred to therein to the extent that such Agent-Related Person is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.3. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder, the cancellation of all of the Revolving Loan Commitments and, as to any Agent-Related Person, the resignation or replacement of such Agent-Related Person.

Section 8.8. The Agent-Related Persons in Their Individual Capacity. Each Agent-Related Person may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Borrower (and its Subsidiaries and other Affiliates) as though the Administrative Agent did not act in such capacity under the Loan Documents, without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Agent-Related Persons may receive information regarding the Borrower (or its Subsidiaries and other Affiliates) (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that no Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to provide such information to any Lender. With respect to any Loan of which it is the Lender, the Administrative Agent (to the extent that it also is a Lender hereunder) shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting in such capacity.

Section 8.9. Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Majority Lenders shall, resign as such agent upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Majority Lenders shall (except during the existence of an Default or Event of Default or as otherwise provided herein, with the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) promptly attempt to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Administrative Agent. If no such successor agent is appointed before the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consultation with the Lenders but without the consent of the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Administrative Agent hereunder (i) such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights (including as to the same fees), powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, (ii) the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent and (iii) the former Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be terminated without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. After the former Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, this Article and Sections 2.12, 10.3, 10.5 and 10.13 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be

taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days after the Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the Administrative Agent’s resignation nevertheless thereupon shall become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administration Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders (without the consent of the Borrower) appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. In the event the Administrative Agent resigns pursuant to this Section 8.9, all fees paid to the resigning Administrative Agent but not yet accrued shall be transferred to the successor Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE IX

GUARANTY

Section 9.1. Guaranty of the Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.2, the Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Beneficiaries the due and punctual payment in full of all Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof or the other Loan Documents when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under any Bankruptcy Law) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). In furtherance of the Guaranty assumed by the Guarantors, the Guarantors agree to execute as guarantors (avalistas) each of the Notes issued by the Borrower hereunder.

Section 9.2. Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the

obligations Guaranteed. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any comparable applicable provisions of any other Applicable Law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 9.2, that any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (A) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including, without limitation, in respect of this Section 9.2), minus (B) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 9.2. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 9.2 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 9.2.

Section 9.3. Payment by Guarantors. Subject to Section 9.2, the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of the Borrower to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under any Bankruptcy Law), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid in cash in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for the Borrower’s becoming the subject of a case under any Bankruptcy Law, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against the Borrower for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Beneficiaries as aforesaid.

Section 9.4. Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall

not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

(a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety;

(b) the Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between the Borrower and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

(c) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Borrower and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against the Borrower or any of such other guarantors and whether or not the Borrower is joined in any such action or actions;

(d) payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(e) any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) settle,

compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations, (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations, (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against the Borrower or any security for the Guaranteed Obligation and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Loan Documents; and

(f) this Guaranty and the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Loan Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Loan Documents or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security, (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect, (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Loan Documents or

from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Lender might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations, (v) any Beneficiary’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations, (vi) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which the Borrower may allege or asset against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury and (vii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 9.5. Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of the Beneficiaries, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (a) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of the Borrower or any other Person or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever, (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Borrower or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal, (d) any defense based upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith, (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto, (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or

inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder or any notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to the Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 9.4 and any right to consent to any thereof, (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof and (h) any right, beneficios de orden, excusión, división, quita, novación and espera that might be available to it under Articles 2813, 2814, 2815, 2817, 2818, 2820, 2821, 2822, 2823, 2840, 2844, 2845, 2846, 2847, 2848, 2849 and other related articles of the Código Civil Federal of Mexico and all other similar articles in the Códigos Civiles of the Federal District and the States of Mexico. Each Guarantor represents that it is familiar with the contents of the articles referred to in the preceding sentence and agrees that they need not be reproduced herein.

Section 9.6. Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, and the Revolving Loan Commitments shall have terminated, each Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations including, without limitations, any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 9.2. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against the Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against the Borrower, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time

when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 9.7. Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the “Obligee Guarantor”) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof.

Section 9.8. Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Revolving Loan Commitments have terminated. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 9.9. Authority of Guarantors or the Borrower. It is not necessary for any Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or the Borrower or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

Section 9.10. Financial Condition of the Borrower. Any Borrowing may be made to the Borrower or continued from time to time without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of the Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of the Borrower. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from the Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of the Borrower and its ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of the Borrower now known or hereafter known by the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

Section 9.11. Bankruptcy, etc.

(a) So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of Majority Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any Insolvency Proceeding against the Borrower or any other Guarantor. The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any Insolvency Proceeding of the Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense which the Borrower or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

(b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and Beneficiaries that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any Applicable Law or order which may relieve the Borrower of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar person to pay the Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of the Administrative Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

(c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by the Borrower, the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.

Section 9.12. Discharge of Guaranty Upon Sale of Guarantor. If all of the Equity Interests, of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the Guaranty of such Guarantor or such successor in

interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any Beneficiary or any other Person effective as of the time of such Asset Sale.

Any Lender may, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be required during the existence of an Event of Default) and Administrative Agent, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, at any time assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees (provided that no written consent of the Borrower shall be required in connection with any assignment and delegation by a Lender to an Eligible Assignee that is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) (each, an “Assignee”) all or any portion of its Revolving Loans, its Revolving Loan Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder, in a minimum amount of US$2,500,000 (or Peso Equivalent) (or the entire amount of the Revolving Loans and the Revolving Loan Commitments of the assigning Lender, provided that no minimum amount shall be required in connection with an assignment and delegation by a Lender to an Eligible Assignee that is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender and its Assignee (which notice shall be substantially in the form of Schedule 1 to Exhibit I and shall have been consented to by the Borrower (except during the existence of an Event of Default) and the Administrative Agent), (ii) such Lender and its Assignee shall have delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Assumption substantially in the form of Exhibit I (an “Assignment and Assumption”) together with the Note(s) subject to such assignment (to the extent necessary, which Note(s) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall cause to be exchanged for new Notes) and (iii) such Lender or its Assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent a processing fee relating to such assignment in the amount of US$3,500.

(c) Assignee as Lender. From and after the date that the Administrative Agent notifies the assignor Lender that it has received and provided its consent, and

received (if such consent is applicable) the consent of the Borrower, with respect to an executed Assignment and Assumption (and has received payment of the processing fee referenced in clause (b)) (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, provided, that the Borrower shall be liable for Taxes, Other Taxes and Further Taxes to such Assignee in an amount no greater than the amount that the Borrower otherwise would have been so liable to the assignor Lender and (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents; provided that the assignor Lender shall continue to have the rights of a Lender under Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 10.3, 10.5 and 10.13 to the extent claims under such Sections arose prior to the relevant assignment.

(d) Pledge to Federal Reserve Bank. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time (without the consent of any other Person) create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement and any Note held by it in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR § 203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under Applicable Law.

(e) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely 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 and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Loan Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Revolving Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(f) Participations. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other Persons not Affiliates of the Borrower (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in its Revolving Loans, its Revolving Loan Commitment and the other interests of such Lender (the “originating Lender”) under the Loan Documents; provided that (i) the originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the

performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the originating Lender in connection with the originating Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant (other than an Affiliate of the Lender) has rights to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, any Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment, consent or waiver would require the consent of each Lender as described in the proviso to Section 10.4 and (v) the Borrower shall be liable for Taxes, Other Taxes and Further Taxes to such Participant in an amount no greater than the amount that the Borrower otherwise would have been so liable to the originating Lender. In the case of any such participation, the Participant also shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 2.12, 2.14, 2.15, 10.3, 10.5 and 10.13 as though it were also a Lender hereunder to the same extent, without duplication, as the Lender that sold the participation to such Participant would be entitled thereto, and if amounts outstanding under the Loan Documents are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of a Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement.

(g) Costs. Except in connection with Section 2.18, any and all costs related to the assignment or participation of a Lender of all or any portion of its Revolving Loans, its Revolving Loan Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder or under any Loan Document, its formalization and its making of record shall be borne exclusively by such Lender.

Section 10.10. Right of Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower) and 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, in any currency) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agrees promptly to notify the Borrower no later than three Business Days after any such setoff and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law or any right to bring legal action or proceedings in any other competent jurisdiction.
