(a) each Lender (referred to as a “Revolving Loan Lender”), agrees that it will make loans (relative to such Lender, its “Revolving Loans”) in Dollars to the Borrower equal to such Lender’s Revolving Loan Percentage of the aggregate amount of each Borrowing of the Revolving Loans requested by the Borrower to be made on such Business Day; and

(b) the Swing Line Lender agrees that it will make loans (its “Swing Line Loans”) in Dollars to the Borrower equal to the principal amount of the Swing Line Loan requested by the Borrower to be made on such Business Day.

On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Borrower may from time to time borrow, repay, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans.

Furthermore, the Swing Line Lender shall not be permitted or required to make Swing Line Loans if, after giving effect thereto, (i) the aggregate

outstanding principal amount of all Swing Line Loans would exceed the then existing Swing Line Loan Commitment Amount or (ii) unless otherwise agreed to by the Swing Line Lender, in its sole discretion, the sum of all Swing Line Loans and Revolving Loans made by the Swing Line Lender plus the Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Loan Percentage of the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Outstandings would exceed the Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Loan Percentage of the then existing Revolving Loan Commitment Amount.

SECTION 2.1.2. Letter of Credit Commitment. From time to time on any Business Day occurring from the Effective Date up to five days prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, the Issuer identified in the relevant Issuance Request agrees that it will:

(b) extend the Stated Expiry Date of an existing standby Letter of Credit previously issued hereunder.

Any optional or mandatory reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount pursuant to the terms of this Agreement which reduces the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount below the sum of (i) the Swing Line Loan Commitment Amount or (ii) the Letter of Credit Commitment Amount shall result in an automatic and corresponding reduction of the Swing Line Loan Commitment Amount and/or Letter of Credit Commitment Amount (as directed by the Borrower in a notice to the Administrative Agent delivered together with the notice of such voluntary reduction in the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount) to an aggregate amount not in excess of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount, as so reduced, without any further action on the part of the Swing Line Lender or any Issuer.

In the case of Loans (other than Swing Line Loans), by delivering a Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to the Lenders) on or before 12:00 noon on a Business Day, the Borrower may from time to time irrevocably request, on not less than one Business Day’s notice in the case of Base Rate Loans, or three Business Days’ notice in the case of LIBO Rate Loans, and in either case not more than five Business Days’ notice, that a Borrowing be made, in the case of LIBO Rate Loans, in a minimum amount of $3,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000, in the case of Base Rate Loans, in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of $500,000 or, in either case, in the unused amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment. The Borrowing Request shall include the Stated Maturity Date of the Loan which shall not be longer than six months from requested issuance date of the Loan. With respect to the applicable Interest Period, the Borrower will designate an interest period of one, two, three or six months in the Borrowing Request. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each Borrowing shall be comprised of the Type of Loans, and shall be made on the Business Day, specified in such Borrowing Request. In the case of Loans other than Swing Line Loans, on or before 11:00 a.m. on such Business Day each Lender shall deposit with the Administrative Agent Same Day Funds in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Loan Percentage of the requested Borrowing. Such deposit will be made to an account which the Administrative Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Lenders. To the extent Same Day Funds are received from the Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrower by wire transfer to the accounts the Borrower shall have specified in its Borrowing Request no later than 12:00 noon on the date of the borrowing. No Lender’s obligation to make any Loan shall be affected by any other Lender’s failure to make any Loan.

SECTION 2.3.2. Swing Line Loans; Participations, etc. Swing Line Loans shall be made in accordance with the following terms.

(a) By telephonic notice to the Swing Line Lender on or before 11:00 a.m. on a Business Day (followed (within one Business Day) by the delivery of a confirming Borrowing Request), the Borrower may from time to time irrevocably request that Swing Line Loans be made by the Swing Line Lender in an aggregate minimum principal amount of $500,000 and an integral multiple of $100,000 or in the unused amount of the Swing Line Loan Commitment. All Swing Line Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans and shall not be entitled to be converted into LIBO Rate Loans. The proceeds of each Swing Line Loan shall be made available by the Swing Line Lender to the Borrower by wire transfer to the account the Borrower shall have specified in its notice therefor by 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day telephonic notice is received by the Swing Line Lender. Upon the making of each Swing Line Loan, and without further action on the part of the Swing Line Lender or any other Person, each Revolving Loan Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender) shall be deemed to have irrevocably purchased, to the extent of its Revolving Loan Percentage, a participation interest in such Swing Line Loan, and such Revolving Loan Lender shall, to the extent of its Revolving Loan Percentage, be responsible for reimbursing within one Business Day the Swing Line Lender for Swing Line Loans which have not been reimbursed by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

-30-

(b) If (i) any Swing Line Loan shall be outstanding for more than four Business Days, (ii) any Swing Line Loan is or will be outstanding on a date when the Borrower requests that a Revolving Loan be made, or (iii) any Default shall occur and be continuing, then each Revolving Loan Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender) irrevocably agrees that it will, at the request of the Swing Line Lender, make a Revolving Loan (which shall initially be funded as a Base Rate Loan) in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Loan Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of all such Swing Line Loans then outstanding (such outstanding Swing Line Loans hereinafter referred to as the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”). On or before 11:00 a.m. on the first Business Day following receipt by each Revolving Loan Lender of a request to make Revolving Loans as provided in the preceding sentence, each Revolving Loan Lender shall deposit in an account specified by the Swing Line Lender the amount so requested in Same Day Funds and such funds shall be applied by the Swing Line Lender to repay the Refunded Swing Line Loans. At the time the Revolving Loan Lenders make the above referenced Revolving Loans the Swing Line Lender shall be deemed to have made, in consideration of the making of the Refunded Swing Line Loans, Revolving Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Loan Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Refunded Swing Line Loans. Upon the making (or deemed making, in the case of the Swing Line Lender) of any Revolving Loans pursuant to this clause, the amount so funded shall become an outstanding Revolving Loan and shall no longer be owed as a Swing Line Loan. All interest payable with respect to any Revolving Loans made (or deemed made, in the case of the Swing Line Lender) pursuant to this clause shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the period of time during which the Swing Line Lender had outstanding Swing Line Loans in respect of which such Revolving Loans were made. Each Revolving Loan Lender’s obligation to make the Revolving Loans referred to in this clause shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, any Obligor or any Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of any Default; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Obligor; (iv) the acceleration or maturity of any Obligations or the termination of any Commitment after the making of any Swing Line Loan; (v) any breach of any Loan Document by any Person; or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(c) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement by the time specified herein, the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid (excluding interest and fees) shall constitute

-31-

such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.18 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Loan Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.4. Continuation and Conversion Elections. By delivering a Continuation/Conversion Notice to the Administrative Agent on or before 12:00 noon on a Business Day, the Borrower may from time to time irrevocably elect, on not less than one Business Day’s notice in the case of Base Rate Loans, or three Business Days’ notice in the case of LIBO Rate Loans, that all, or any portion in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000 be, in the case of Base Rate Loans, converted into LIBO Rate Loans or be, in the case of LIBO Rate Loans, converted into Base Rate Loans or continued as LIBO Rate Loans (in the absence of delivery of a Continuation/Conversion Notice with respect to any LIBO Rate Loan at least three Business Days before the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, such LIBO Rate Loan shall, on such last day, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan); provided, that (x) each such conversion or continuation shall be pro rated among the applicable outstanding Loans of all Lenders that have made such Loans, and (y) no portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Loans may be continued as, or be converted into, LIBO Rate Loans when any Default has occurred and is continuing. A Continuation/Conversion Notice shall include a Stated Maturity Date for the Loan as continued or converted, which date shall not be later than six months from the date of continuation or conversion.

SECTION 2.5. Funding. Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its obligation to make, continue or convert LIBO Rate Loans hereunder by causing one of its foreign branches or Affiliates (or an international banking facility created by such Lender) to make or maintain such LIBO Rate Loan; provided, that such LIBO Rate Loan shall nonetheless be deemed to have been made and to be held by such Lender, and the obligation of the Borrower to repay such LIBO Rate Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender for the account of such foreign branch, Affiliate or international banking facility. In addition, the Borrower hereby consents and agrees that, for purposes of any determination to be made for purposes of Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.3 and Section 4.4, it shall be conclusively assumed that each Lender elected to fund all LIBO Rate Loans by purchasing Dollar deposits in its LIBOR Office’s interbank eurodollar market.

Each Letter of Credit shall by its terms be stated to expire on a date (its “Stated Expiry Date”) no later than the earlier to occur of (i) five Business Days prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date or (ii) (unless otherwise agreed to by the relevant Issuer, in its sole discretion), one year from the date of its issuance; provided, that, subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, a Letter of Credit may provide that it will automatically renew for additional periods of one year, in the sole discretion of the relevant Issuer, but in any event not beyond five Business Days prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date. Each Issuer will make available to the beneficiary thereof the original of the Letter of Credit which it issues.

Prior to 11:00 a.m. on the first Business Day following the Disbursement Date, the Borrower will reimburse the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuer, for all amounts which such Issuer has disbursed under such Letter of Credit, together with interest thereon equal to the rate per annum then in effect for Base Rate Loans (with the then Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans accruing on such amount) pursuant to clause (a) of Section 3.2.1 for the period from the Disbursement Date through the date of such reimbursement. Without limiting in any way the foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any separate application for any Letter of Credit, the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuer upon each Disbursement of a Letter of Credit, and it shall be deemed to be the obligor for purposes of each such Letter of Credit issued hereunder (whether the account party on such Letter of Credit is the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor).

SECTION 2.6.3. Reimbursement. The obligation (a “Reimbursement Obligation”) of the Borrower under Section 2.6.2 to reimburse an Issuer with respect to each Disbursement (including interest thereon), and, upon the failure of the Borrower to reimburse an Issuer, each Revolving Loan Lender’s obligation under Section 2.6.1 to reimburse an Issuer, shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower or such Revolving Loan Lender, as the case may be, may have or have had against such Issuer or any Lender, including any defense based upon the failure of any Disbursement to conform to the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit (if, in such Issuer’s good faith opinion, such Disbursement is determined to be appropriate) or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit; provided, that after paying in full its Reimbursement Obligation hereunder, nothing herein shall adversely affect the right of the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, to commence any proceeding against an Issuer for any wrongful Disbursement made by such Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of such Issuer.

SECTION 2.6.4. Deemed Disbursements. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Default under Section 8.1.9 or upon notification by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) to the Borrower of its obligations under this Section, following the occurrence and during the continuation of any other Event of Default,

(a) the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit shall, without demand upon or notice to the Borrower or any other Person, be deemed to have been paid or disbursed by the Issuers of such Letters of Credit (notwithstanding that such amount may not in fact have been paid or disbursed); and

(b) the Borrower shall be immediately obligated to reimburse the Issuers for the amount deemed to have been so paid or disbursed by such Issuers.

Amounts payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be deposited in immediately available funds with the Administrative Agent to Cash Collateralize the Reimbursement Obligations. When all Defaults giving rise to the deemed disbursements under this Section have been cured or waived the Administrative Agent shall return to the Borrower all amounts then on deposit with the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section which have not been applied to the satisfaction of the Reimbursement Obligations.

-34-

SECTION 2.6.5. Nature of Reimbursement Obligations. The Borrower, each other Obligor and, to the extent set forth in Section 2.6.1, each Revolving Loan Lender shall assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. No Issuer (except to the extent of its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith) shall be responsible for:

(a) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Letter of Credit or any Issuer Document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of a Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged;

(b) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or the proceeds thereof in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason;

(c) failure of the beneficiary to comply fully with conditions required in order to demand payment under a Letter of Credit;

(d) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise;

(e) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required in order to make a Disbursement under a Letter of Credit; or

(f) a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.6.2 exists or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender.

None of the foregoing shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the rights or powers granted to any Issuer or any Revolving Loan Lender hereunder. In furtherance and not in limitation or derogation of any of the foregoing, any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuer in good faith (and not constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct) shall be binding upon each Obligor and each such Secured Party, and shall not put such Issuer under any resulting liability to any Obligor or any Secured Party, as the case may be. If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the terms of the Agreement Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement by the time specified herein, the Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Issuer in connection with the foregoing.

-35-

SECTION 2.6.6. Issuer Not Required to Issue Letters of Credit. No Issuer shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit if

(a) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after three days prior to the Final Maturity Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such expiry date;

(b) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which such Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

(c) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

(d) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $250,000; or

(e) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars.

SECTION 2.7. Notes. The Borrower will execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a Revolving Note (pagaré) if a Revolving Loan is being requested or a Swing Line Note if a Swing Line Loan is being requested in each case dated the date of each Borrowing, evidencing the Loan made on such date by such Lender to the Borrower, substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 or Exhibit A-2, as applicable, payable to the order of such Lender and in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Loan and bearing the aval of each Subsidiary Guarantor. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an applicable replacement Note to reflect a Continuation/Conversion Notice delivered to the Administrative Agent or any change to the Applicable Margin of a Loan. In the event that any conflict arises between the provisions of this Agreement and terms of any Note, the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to prevail. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent will (i) hold all Notes on behalf of the Lenders and (ii) return each Note to the Borrower within five (5) Business Days of the Borrower's repayment or replacement of such Note.

(b) On each date when the sum of (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount (as it may be reduced from time to time pursuant to this Agreement), the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans (or both) and, if necessary, Cash Collateralize all Letter of Credit Outstandings, in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(c) Within five Business Days following the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s receipt of Net Disposition Proceeds in excess of $10,000,000 individually or in the aggregate over the course of a Fiscal Year or Net Casualty Proceeds in excess of $10,000,000 individually or in the aggregate over the course of a Fiscal Year, the Borrower shall prepay outstanding Loans (if any) in an amount equal to such excess Net Disposition Proceeds or excess Net Casualty Proceeds; provided, that if an Authorized Officer of the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent a Reinvestment Notice on or prior to the date that a prepayment would otherwise be required pursuant to the foregoing, then no prepayment of the Reinvestment Amount shall be required pursuant to this clause until the Reinvestment Prepayment Date, at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to the Net Disposition Proceeds or Net Casualty Proceeds that have not been so applied.

(d) Immediately upon any acceleration of the Stated Maturity Date of any Loans pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, the Borrower shall repay all the Loans, unless, pursuant to Section 8.3, only a portion of all the Loans is so accelerated (in which case the portion so accelerated shall be so repaid).

-37-

Each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to this Section shall be without premium or penalty, except as may be required by Section 4.4.

SECTION 3.1.2. Application. Amounts prepaid pursuant to Section 3.1.1 shall be applied as set forth in this Section.

(a) Subject to clause (b), each prepayment or repayment of the principal of the Loans shall be applied, to the extent of such prepayment or repayment, first, to the principal amount thereof being maintained as Base Rate Loans, and second, subject to the terms of Section 4.4, to the principal amount thereof being maintained as LIBO Rate Loans.

SECTION 3.2. Interest Provisions. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall accrue and be payable in accordance with the terms set forth below.

SECTION 3.2.1. Rates. Subject to Section 2.3.2, pursuant to an appropriately delivered Borrowing Request or Continuation/Conversion Notice, the Borrower may elect that the Loans comprising a Borrowing accrue interest at a rate per annum:

(a) on that portion maintained from time to time as a Base Rate Loan, equal to the sum of the Alternate Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin; provided, that Swing Line Loans shall always accrue interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the then effective Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans; or

(b) on that portion maintained as a LIBO Rate Loan, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, equal to the sum of the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

All LIBO Rate Loans shall bear interest from and including the first day of the applicable Interest Period to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such LIBO Rate Loan.

SECTION 3.2.2. Post-Maturity Rates. After the date any principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation is due and payable (whether on the applicable Stated Maturity Date, upon acceleration or otherwise), or after any other monetary Obligation of the Borrower shall have become due and payable, the Borrower shall pay, but only to the extent permitted by law, interest (after as well as before judgment) on such amounts at a rate per annum equal to (a) in the case of overdue principal on any Loan, the rate of interest that otherwise would be

-38-

applicable to such Loan plus 2% per annum; (b) in the case of overdue interest, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on the Type of Loan on which such interest has accrued; and (c) in the case of fees, and other monetary Obligations, the Alternate Base Rate plus 2% per annum.

SECTION 3.2.3. Payment Dates. Interest accrued on each Loan shall be payable in arrears, without duplication:

(a) on the applicable Stated Maturity Date therefor;

(b) on the date of any payment or prepayment, in whole or in part, of principal outstanding on such Loan on the principal amount so paid or prepaid;

(d) with respect to LIBO Rate Loans, on the last day of each applicable Interest Period (and, if such Interest Period shall exceed three months, on the date occurring on each three-month interval occurring after the first day of such Interest Period);

(e) with respect to any Base Rate Loans converted into LIBO Rate Loans on a day when interest would not otherwise have been payable pursuant to clause (c), on the date of such conversion; and

(f) on that portion of any Loans the Stated Maturity Date of which is accelerated pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, immediately upon such acceleration.

Interest accrued on Loans or other monetary Obligations after the date such amount is due and payable (whether on the applicable Stated Maturity Date, upon acceleration or otherwise) shall be payable upon demand.

SECTION 3.3. Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the fees set forth below. All such fees shall be non-refundable.

SECTION 3.3.1. Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, for the period (including any portion thereof when any of its Commitments are suspended by reason of the Borrower’s inability to satisfy any condition of Article V) commencing on the Effective Date and continuing through the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, a commitment fee in an amount equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Margin, in each case on such Lender’s Revolving Loan Percentage of the sum of the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount (whether or not then available as a result of a Default) and net of Letter of Credit Outstandings. All commitment fees payable pursuant to this Section shall be calculated on a year comprised of 360 days and payable by the Borrower in arrears on the Effective Date and thereafter on each Quarterly Payment Date, commencing with the first Quarterly Payment Date following the Effective Date, and on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date. The making of Swing Line Loans

-39-

shall constitute usage of the Revolving Loan Commitment with respect to the calculation of commitment fees to be paid by the Borrower to the Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower will not be required to pay a commitment fee to a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 3.3.2. Administrative Agent’s Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in the Administrative Fee Letter.

SECTION 3.3.3. Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata account of the applicable Issuer and each Revolving Loan Lender, a Letter of Credit fee in a per annum amount equal to the then effective Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans maintained as LIBO Rate Loans, on the average daily unused portion of the Stated Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, such fees being payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date following the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit and on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date. The Borrower further agrees to pay to the applicable Issuer quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date following the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit and on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date an issuance fee as specified in the Administrative Fee Letter or as otherwise agreed to by the Borrower and such Issuer.

ARTICLE IV

CERTAIN LIBO RATE AND OTHER PROVISIONS

SECTION 4.1. LIBO Rate Lending Unlawful. If any Lender shall determine, acting reasonably (which determination shall, upon notice thereof providing reasonable detail or an opinion of counsel, which may include in-house counsel, supporting such determination to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) that any Change in Law makes it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to make or continue any Loan as, or to convert any Loan into, a LIBO Rate Loan or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the applicable interbank market, then the obligations of such Lender to make, continue or convert any such LIBO Rate Loan shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all outstanding LIBO Rate Loans payable to such Lender shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans at the end of the then current Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law or assertion.

SECTION 4.2. Deposits Unavailable. If the Administrative Agent shall have determined or the Required Lenders shall have determined and notified the Administrative Agent that

(a) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period are not available to it in its relevant market;

(b) by reason of circumstances affecting its relevant market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to LIBO Rate Loans; or

-40-

(c) the LIBO Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or continuing the LIBO Rate Loans for an applicable Interest Period,

then, upon notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower and the Lenders, the obligations of all Lenders under Section 2.3 and Section 2.4 to make or continue any Loans as, or to convert any Loans into, LIBO Rate Loans shall forthwith (i) in the case of clauses (a) and (b), be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exists or (ii) in the case of clause (c), be based on a LIBO Rate which is determined by the LIBO Rate (Reference Lenders) until the circumstances causing the LIBO Rate to not fairly reflect the Lenders’ costs no longer exists, as determined, in good faith, by the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of such notice specified in subsection (i) above, (i) any request to convert any Borrowing into, or continue any Borrowing as, a LIBO Rate Loan shall be ineffective and (ii) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBO Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

SECTION 4.3. Increased LIBO Rate Loan Costs, etc. The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender and Issuer for any increase in the cost to such Lender or Issuer of, or any reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by such Lender or Issuer in respect of, such Lender’s or Issuer’s Commitments and the making of Credit Extensions hereunder (including the making, continuing or maintaining (or of its obligation to make or continue) any Loans as, or of converting (or of its obligation to convert) any Loans into, LIBO Rate Loans) that arise in connection with any Change in Law, except for such changes with respect to increased capital costs and Taxes which are governed by Section 4.5 and Section 4.6, respectively. Each affected Lender or Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing of the occurrence of any such event, stating the reasons therefor, the additional amount required fully to compensate such Lender or Issuer for such increased cost or reduced amount and including reasonable details of the computation of such additional amount. Such additional amounts shall be payable by the Borrower directly to such Lender or Issuer within five days of its receipt of such notice, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower.

SECTION 4.4. Funding Losses. In the event any Lender shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to make or continue any portion of the principal amount of any Loan as, or to convert any portion of the principal amount of any Loan into, a LIBO Rate Loan) as a result of

(a) any conversion or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBO Rate Loan on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, whether pursuant to Article III or otherwise;

(b) any Loans not being made as LIBO Rate Loans in accordance with the Borrowing Request therefore (for a reason other than such Lender being a Defaulting Lender); or

-41-

(c) any Loans not being continued as, or converted into, LIBO Rate Loans in accordance with the Continuation/Conversion Notice therefore;

then, upon the written notice of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall, within five days of its receipt thereof, pay directly to such Lender such amount as will (in the reasonable determination of such Lender) reimburse such Lender for such loss or expense. Such written notice shall include reasonable detail of the computation of such loss or expense and in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower.

SECTION 4.5. Increased Capital Costs. If any Change in Law affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Secured Party or any Person controlling such Secured Party, and such Secured Party determines (in good faith but in its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of the Commitments or the Credit Extensions made, or the Letters of Credit participated in, by such Secured Party is reduced to a level below that which such Secured Party or such controlling Person could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then upon notice from time to time by such Secured Party to the Borrower, the Borrower shall within five days following receipt of such notice pay directly to such Secured Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Secured Party or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return. A statement of such Secured Party as to any such additional amount or amounts shall include reasonable detail of the computation of such loss or expense and in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower. In determining such amount, such Secured Party may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole and absolute discretion) shall deem applicable.

SECTION 4.6. Taxes.

(a) All payments made by each Obligor under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for or on account of, any present or future Taxes, including Other Taxes (but excluding any tax imposed on or measured by the net income or net profits or capital or any franchise or similar tax imposed in lieu thereof) of a beneficiary of such payment (each a “Payee”) pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) in which it is organized or the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) in which the lending office of such Lender is located (collectively, the “Excluded Taxes”)). If any such Taxes that are not Excluded Taxes (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Payee hereunder (subject to the right of such Obligor to contest any such requirement in good faith, so long as proper reserves are maintained and each Payee hereunder is paid the full amounts payable hereunder including any additional amounts payable), such Obligor shall pay such Non-Excluded Taxes, including Other Taxes, to the appropriate taxing authority, and the amounts payable to each such Payee shall be increased by such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) necessary to yield to such Payee (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes, Other Taxes and Additional Amounts, including any of the foregoing levied on Additional Amounts) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement in the absence of such

-42-

payments or deductions; provided, that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable in respect of any Taxes that would not have been imposed but for a failure by a Payee to provide the documents required by clause (c) strictly pursuant to the terms of, and only in the circumstances specified in, clause (c), in excess of the Additional Amounts that would have been payable had such documents been provided. In addition, such Obligor shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law. Whenever any Non-Excluded Tax or Other Tax is payable by an Obligor, as promptly as possible thereafter, such Obligor shall (i) pay such taxes to the appropriate authority within the term provided by law and (ii) thereafter send to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Payee, a certified copy by an Authorized Officer of such Obligor of a stamped filed receipt showing payment thereof or such other document reasonably satisfactory to such Payee showing payment thereof. If such Obligor fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, such Obligor shall indemnify the affected Payee for any incremental taxes, interest, penalties, loss, liability, claim or expense (including legal fees and expenses) that may become payable by any such Payee as a result of any such failure; provided, that if the Borrower reasonably believes that such Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the Administrative Agent or the Payee, as the case may be, will use reasonable efforts at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and to the extent indemnified by the Borrower to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent or the Payee to cooperate with the Borrower to obtain a refund of such Taxes so long as such efforts will not, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent or the Payee, as the case may be, result in any additional costs, expenses or risks or otherwise be disadvantageous to the Administrative Agent or the Payee, or require the Administrative Agent or the Payee to reveal confidential or proprietary information. This indemnity and agreement shall survive termination of the Agreement and payment of the Loans.

(b) Subject to the last sentence of clause (c), each Obligor shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Payee, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Payee on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Obligor hereunder (including Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, that if the Borrower reasonably believes that such Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the Administrative Agent or the Payee, as the case may be, will use reasonable efforts at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and to the extent indemnified by the Borrower to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent or the Payee to cooperate with the Borrower to obtain a refund of such Taxes so long as such efforts will not, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent or the Payee, as the case may be, result in any additional costs, expenses or risks or otherwise be disadvantageous to the Administrative Agent

-43-

or the Payee, or require the Administrative Agent or the Payee to reveal confidential or proprietary information. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Payee, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Payee, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) Each Payee that is not a Mexican Financial Institution shall from time to time, at the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, furnish to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such documentation required under Applicable Law as may be reasonably required to establish any available exemption from, or reduction in the amount of, otherwise applicable Non-Excluded Taxes; provided, that (i) such documentation is consistent with Applicable Law and (ii) such documentation would not, in the judgment of such Payee, require such Payee to disclose any confidential or proprietary information or otherwise be disadvantageous to such Payee; provided, further, that such documentation shall not be considered disadvantageous solely by virtue of administrative inconvenience to such Payee. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy of any such documentation furnished to it by any Payee that is not a Mexican Financial Institution and shall have no obligation to indemnify such Payee for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such Payee solely as a result of any inaccuracy contained therein or the Payee’s failure to furnish such documentation.

(d) If the Administrative Agent or any Payee determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall cause such refund to be returned to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, or such Payee, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Payee, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Payee in the event the Administrative Agent or such Payee is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This clause shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Payee to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential or proprietary) to the Borrower or any other Person.

SECTION 4.7. Payments, Computations; Proceeds of Collateral, etc.

(a) Unless otherwise expressly provided in a Loan Document, all payments by the Borrower pursuant to each Loan Document shall be made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the pro rata account of the Secured Parties entitled to receive such payment in Dollars. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be

-44-

made in the United States. All payments shall be made without setoff, deduction or counterclaim not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date due in Same Day Funds to such account as the Administrative Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Borrower. Funds received after that time shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent on the next succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit in Same Day Funds to each Secured Party its share, if any, of such payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Secured Party. All interest (including interest on LIBO Rate Loans) and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during the period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year comprised of 360 days (or, in the case of interest on a Base Rate Loan (calculated at other than the Federal Funds Rate), 365 days or, if appropriate, 366 days). Payments due on a day other than a Business Day shall (except as otherwise required by clause (c) of the definition of “Interest Period”) be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees in connection with that payment.

(b) All amounts received as a result of the exercise of remedies under the Loan Documents (including from the proceeds of collateral securing the Obligations) or under applicable law shall be applied upon receipt to the Obligations as follows: (i) first, to the payment of all Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and to the Collateral Agent, in their respective capacity as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent (including the fees and expenses of counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent), (ii) second, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clause (b)(i), to the ratable payment of all interest (including interest accruing after the commencement of a proceeding in bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, whether or not permitted as a claim under such law) and fees owing under the Loan Documents, and all costs and expenses owing to the Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, until paid in full in cash, (iii) third, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (b)(i) and (b)(ii), to the ratable payment of the principal amount of the Loans then outstanding, the aggregate Reimbursement Obligations then owing, and the Cash Collateralization for contingent liabilities under Letter of Credit Outstandings and the credit exposure owing to Secured Parties under Hedging Agreements, (iv) fourth, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (b)(i) through (b)(iii), to the ratable payment of all other Obligations owing to the Secured Parties, and (v) fifth, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (b)(i) through (b)(iv), and following the Termination Date, to each applicable Obligor or any other Person lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. For purposes of clause (b)(iii), the “credit exposure” at any time of any Secured Party with respect to a Hedging Agreement to which such Secured Party is a party shall be determined at such time in accordance with the customary methods of calculating credit exposure under similar arrangements by the counterparty to such arrangements, taking into account potential interest rate (or, if applicable, currency) movements and the respective termination provisions and notional principal amount and term of such Hedging Agreement.

-45-

(c) The Borrower acknowledges that the Lenders have agreed to the amount of the Applicable Margin and fees payable under the Loan Documents based upon, among other things, the delivery by the Obligors pursuant to Section 7.1.1 of accurate and actual reporting of results of operation, and that the financial covenant ratios set forth in a Compliance Certificate shall only be treated by the Secured Parties as presumptive evidence of such actual results. If the actual Leverage Ratio for any period is higher than that set forth in a Compliance Certificate for such period, then the amount of interest and fees owing for such period shall be established by reference to the actual Leverage Ratio, and not the ratio set forth in the Compliance Certificate. Promptly, and in any event within three days, following the earlier of (i) the Borrower’s receipt of a notice from the Administrative Agent pursuant to this clause including in reasonable detail the computation of the actual Leverage Ratio or (ii) a Responsible Officer of the Borrower’s knowledge that the Leverage Ratio for a particular period was higher than that reported in the Compliance Certificate for such period, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent all unpaid interest and fees for such period based upon the actual Leverage Ratio. In the event that this higher actual Leverage Ratio results in a higher Applicable Margin, the Borrower at the request of the Administrative Agent shall promptly, and in any event within three days, provide replacement Notes to reflect the higher Applicable Margin. In no event shall the Lenders be required to rebate interest or fees paid by the Borrower, and the payment of incremental interest and fees pursuant to this clause shall not impair (and is without limitation of) the other rights and remedies of the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents.

SECTION 4.8. Sharing of Payments. If any Secured Party shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) on account of any Credit Extension or Reimbursement Obligation (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 4.3, Section 4.4, Section 4.5 or Section 4.6) in excess of its pro rata share of payments obtained by all Secured Parties, such Secured Party shall purchase from the other Secured Parties such participations in Credit Extensions made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Secured Party to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably (to the extent such other Secured Parties were entitled to receive a portion of such payment or recovery) with each of them; provided, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Secured Party, the purchase shall be rescinded and each Secured Party which has sold a participation to the purchasing Secured Party shall repay to the purchasing Secured Party the purchase price to the ratable extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such selling Secured Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such selling Secured Party’s required repayment to the purchasing Secured Party to (b) total amount so recovered from the purchasing Secured Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Secured Party in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Secured Party purchasing a participation from another Secured Party pursuant to this Section may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including pursuant to Section 4.9) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Secured Party were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law any Secured Party receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section applies, such Secured Party shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Secured Parties entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

-46-

SECTION 4.9. Setoff. Each Secured Party shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default described in clauses (a) through (d) of Section 8.1.9 or, with the consent of the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations owing to it (whether or not then due), any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Borrower then or thereafter maintained with such Secured Party; provided, that any such appropriation and application shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.8. Each Secured Party agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such appropriation and application made by such Secured Party; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff under applicable law or otherwise) which such Secured Party may have.

SECTION 4.10. Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower shall be permitted, at its sole expense and effort, to replace with a replacement financial institution or Eligible Assignee any Lender (a) that requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.6 (but only if such Lender is (i) not a Mexican Financial Institution and (ii) a financial institution not registered with Hacienda for purposes of Article 195(I) or Article 196(II) of the Mexican Income Tax Law or any successor provision thereof and, in the case of a financial institution registered with Hacienda for purposes of Article 195(I) of the Mexican Income Tax Law, not a resident of (or, if acting through a branch or agency, does not have its principal office in) a country with which Mexico has entered into a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation) or Section 4.5; (b) to which the Borrower is required to make a prepayment or commitment reduction as a result of the operation of Section 4.1; (c) that defaults in its obligation to make its Loan hereunder; or (d) that fails to consent to an election, consent, amendment, waiver or other modification to this Agreement or other Loan Document requiring more Lenders than the Required Lenders’ consent and such election, consent, amendment, waiver or other modification is otherwise consented to by Lenders holding more than 66 2/3% of the Total Exposure Amount, without giving effect to the Loans and undrawn Commitments attributable to such non-consenting Lender; provided, that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Applicable Law, (ii) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 4.11 which has eliminated the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to clause (a) of Section 4.6 or Section 4.5 or the operation of Section 4.1, (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, the Loans and other amounts (including accrued and unpaid interest) 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 4.4 if the Loans owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of an Interest Period relating to such Loans, (vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and satisfactory to the Issuers and the Swing Line Lender, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement without recourse in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.11 (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

-47-

additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to clause (a) of Section 4.6 or Section 4.5, 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.

SECTION 4.11. Change of Domestic Office. Each Lender that is not a Mexican Financial Institution agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of clause (a) of Section 4.6 (other than the imposition of the Mexican withholding taxes expected, based upon the identity and place of residence of each Lender on the Effective Date, or the Mexican withholding taxes applicable to interest payments made to an Eligible Assignee), Sections 4.1 or 4.5 as to it and upon request by the Borrower, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize the consequences of such event if such action shall not, in the judgment of such Lender, as the case may be, be illegal or economically or otherwise disadvantageous to it. If such Lender is entitled to compensation for the events specified under Section 4.6 (other than as set forth in the preceding sentence) or Section 4.5, or the Borrower is required to make a prepayment as a result of the operation of Section 4.1, such Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of 30 days to designate a different Domestic Office for any Obligation affected by such event if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation (except as set forth in the preceding sentence) 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.

Issuance of Subordinated Debt; Status of Obligations as Senior Indebtedness, etc. The Borrower has the power and authority to incur the Subordinated Debt as provided for under the Subordinated Debt Documents applicable thereto and has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Subordinated Debt Documents applicable to such Subordinated Debt. The Borrower has issued, pursuant to due authorization, the Subordinated Debt under the applicable Subordinated Debt Documents, and such Subordinated Debt Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms (except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by principles of equity). The subordination provisions contained in the Subordinated Debt Documents are enforceable against the holders of the Subordinated Debt by the holder of any “Senior Indebtedness” or similar term referring to the Obligations (as defined in the Subordinated Debt Documents). All Obligations, including those to pay principal of and interest (including post-petition interest, whether or not allowed as a claim under bankruptcy or similar laws) on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, and fees and expenses in connection therewith, constitute “Senior Indebtedness” or similar term relating to the Obligations (as defined in the Subordinated Debt Documents) and all such Obligations are entitled to the benefits of the subordination created by the Subordinated Debt Documents.

SECTION 6.18. Absence of Default. No Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 6.19. Ranking; Recourse; Liens.

(a) The Obligations of each Obligor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to which it is a party are and will at all times be unconditional general obligations of such Obligor, and rank and will at all times rank at least pari passu in right of payment with all its other senior Indebtedness, except for obligations accorded preference by mandatory provisions of law. There is no Lien upon or with respect to any of the present property or Indebtedness of any Obligor or the Borrower’s Subsidiaries other than Liens permitted by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(c) Attached as Item 6.19(c) of the Disclosure Schedule is a complete and accurate list of all existing Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in excess of $5,000,000 as of the Effective Date.

-57-

withholding tax at a rate of 4.9% so long as the payee, that is not a Mexican Financial Institution or a lender that is not registered with Hacienda for purposes of Article 196(II) of the Mexican Income Tax Law, (i) is a foreign commercial bank or other financial institution registered with Hacienda for purposes of Article 195(I) of the Mexican Income Tax Law (Lev del Impuesto Sobre la Renta), the regulations thereunder and any administrative rules issued thereunder and (ii) is a resident for tax purposes of (or its principal place of business, if lending through a branch or agency, is located in) a country with which Mexico has entered into a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation. As of the Effective Date, each Obligor is permitted under Applicable Law, to make all payments pursuant to the Loan Documents free and clear of all Taxes imposed, levied or made by or in Mexico or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof, as provided in each Loan Document, without any liability to be borne by the payee in connection with such Mexican withholding tax to the extent that the Obligor making such payment has complied with its obligations in Section 4.6 to pay to the appropriate Mexican authorities applicable Taxes required to be paid by such Obligor.

SECTION 6.21. Proper Form. The Loan Documents are (or, in the case of any Note, will be, upon the issuance thereof in accordance herewith) in proper legal form for the enforcement thereof in Mexico, against each Obligor; provided, that, if any legal proceedings are brought in a court of Mexico for the enforcement against any Obligor, of this Agreement, the Fee Letters or any other Loan Document that is executed in a language other than Spanish, a Spanish translation of such document prepared by a translator approved by the Mexican court would have to be approved by such court after such Obligor has been given the opportunity to be heard with respect to the accuracy of the translation, and proceedings would thereafter be based on the translated documents. To ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of this Agreement, the Fee Letters or any other Loan Document in Mexico it is not necessary that this Agreement, the Fee Letters or any other Loan Document be filed or recorded with any Governmental Authority in Mexico or be notarized, or that any stamp or similar tax be paid on or in respect of this Agreement, the Fee Letters or any other Loan Document.

SECTION 6.22. Choice of Law. In any action or proceeding involving an Obligor arising out of or relating to any Loan Document in any court of Mexico, the Lenders, the Issuers and the Administrative Agent would be entitled to the recognition and effectiveness of the choice of law provisions of Section 10.9.

SECTION 6.23. Immunity. Each Obligor is subject to suit in Mexico and neither any Obligor nor its assets has any right of immunity, on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise, from any legal action, suit or proceeding, set-off or counterclaim, the jurisdiction of any competent court and service of process, attachment or execution in Mexico with respect to its obligations, liabilities, or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with any Loan Document, and to the extent that such Obligor or its assets may have or may hereafter become entitled to any such right of immunity it has effectively waived such right under Section 10.19; provided, that none of (i) the Concession Title or the Port Concession may be transferred to any Person without the prior consent of the government of Mexico, or (ii) control of VAM may be transferred to any Person without prior notice to the government of Mexico. The waiver by each Obligor described in the immediately preceding sentence is a legal, valid and binding obligation thereof. The foregoing waiver is intended to be effective to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by the Applicable Law of any jurisdiction in which any suit, action or proceeding with respect to any Loan Document may be commenced. The performance of the Loan Documents by the Obligors constitutes private and commercial acts rather than governmental or public acts.

-58-

SECTION 6.24. Status of Concession.

(a) The Concession Title is in full force and effect and no proceeding or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, investigation seeking the termination or revocation of the Concession Title has been initiated pursuant to a notice sent to the Borrower.

(b) The Borrower has disclosed to the Administrative Agent any sanctions imposed on it pursuant to final and non-appealable resolutions under Sections II, III, IV, V, VIII or IX of Article 21 of the Railway Service Law (Ley del Servicio Ferroviario).

For the avoidance of doubt, a sanction under Sections II, III, IV, V, VIII or IX of Article 21 of the Railway Service Law (Ley del Servicio Ferroviario) shall not by itself constitute an Event of Default by the Borrower.

The subordination provisions relating to any Subordinated Debt (the “Subordination Provisions”) shall fail to be enforceable by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuers in accordance with the terms thereof, or the monetary Obligations shall fail to constitute “Senior Indebtedness” (or similar term) referring to the Obligations; or the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, disavow or contest in any manner (i) the effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any of the Subordination Provisions, (ii) that the Subordination Provisions exist for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers or (iii) that all payments of principal of or premium and interest on the Subordinated Debt, or realized from the liquidation of any property of any Obligor, shall be subject to any of such Subordination Provisions.

ARTICLE IX

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND COLLATERAL AGENT

SECTION 9.1. Actions. Each Lender hereby appoints Scotia Capital as its Administrative Agent and Scotiabank Inverlat, S.A., Institución de Banca Múltiple, Grupo Financiero Scotiabank Inverlat as its Collateral Agent under and for purposes of each Loan Document. Each Lender authorizes each Agent to act on behalf of such Lender under each Loan Document (including the Administrative Agent holding on such Lender’s behalf any Notes) and, in the absence of other written instructions from the Required Lenders received from time to time by the Agent (with respect to which each Agent agree that they will comply, except as otherwise provided in this Section or as otherwise advised by counsel in order to avoid contravention of applicable law), to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be incidental thereto (including the release of Liens on assets Disposed of in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents). Each Lender hereby indemnifies (which indemnity shall survive any termination of this Agreement) the Agents, pro rata according to such Lender’s proportionate Total Exposure Amount, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Agents in any way relating to or arising out of any Loan Document, (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements), and as to which the Agents are not reimbursed by the Borrower; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses which are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final proceeding to the extent resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Agent shall not be required to take any action under any Loan Document, or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of any Loan Document, unless it is indemnified to its satisfaction. If any indemnity in favor of an Agent shall be or become, in the Agent’s determination inadequate, such Agent may call for additional indemnification from the Lenders and cease to do the acts indemnified against hereunder until such additional indemnity is given.

SECTION 9.2. Funding Reliance, etc. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender by 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day prior to a Borrowing that such Lender will not make available the amount which would constitute its Revolving Loan Percentage of such Borrowing on the date specified therefor, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such amount available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date the Administrative Agent made such amount available to the Borrower to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable at the time to Loans comprising such Borrowing (in the case of the Borrower) and (in the case of a Lender), at the Federal Funds Rate (for the first two Business Days after which such amount has not been repaid), and thereafter at the interest rate applicable to Loans comprising such Borrowing.

SECTION 9.3. Exculpation. Neither Agent nor in either case any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any Secured Party for any action taken or omitted

-82-

to be taken by it under any Loan Document, or in connection therewith, except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence (including with respect to the safekeeping of the Notes by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders), nor responsible for any recitals or warranties herein or therein, nor for the effectiveness, enforceability, validity or due execution of any Loan Document, nor for the creation, perfection or priority of any Liens purported to be created by any of the Loan Documents, or the validity, genuineness, enforceability, existence, value or sufficiency of any collateral security, nor to make any inquiry respecting the performance by any Obligor of its Obligations. Any such inquiry which may be made by am Agent shall not obligate it to make any further inquiry or to take any action. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon advice of counsel concerning legal matters and upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement or writing which the Agent believes to be genuine and to have been presented by a proper Person.

SECTION 9.4. Successor. Each Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Borrower and all Lenders. If Agent at any time shall resign, the Required Lenders may appoint another Lender as a successor Agent which shall thereupon become the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, which shall be one of the Lenders or a commercial banking institution organized under the laws of the United States (or any State thereof) or a United States branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000; provided, that if, such retiring Agent is unable to find a commercial banking institution which is willing to accept such appointment and which meets the qualifications set forth in above, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall be entitled to receive from the retiring Agent such documents of transfer and assignment as such successor Agent may reasonably request, and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Agent, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Agent under the Loan Documents, and Section 10.3 and Section 10.4 shall continue to inure to its benefit.

SECTION 9.5. Loans by Scotia Capital. Scotia Capital shall have the same rights and powers with respect to (x) the Credit Extensions made by it or any of its Affiliates, and (y) the Notes held by it or any of its Affiliates as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not the Administrative Agent. Scotia Capital and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower as if Scotia Capital were not the Administrative Agent and Scotiabank Inverlat, S.A., Institución de Banca Múltiple, Grupo Financiero Scotiabank Inverlat were not the Collateral Agent hereunder.

-83-

SECTION 9.6. Credit Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently of the Agents and each other Lender, and based on such Lender’s review of the financial information of the Borrower, the Loan Documents (the terms and provisions of which being satisfactory to such Lender) and such other documents, information and investigations as such Lender has deemed appropriate, made its own credit decision to extend its Commitments. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently of the Agents and each other Lender, and based on such other documents, information and investigations as it shall deem appropriate at any time, continue to make its own credit decisions as to exercising or not exercising from time to time any rights and privileges available to it under the Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.7. Copies, etc. Each Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender of each notice or request required or permitted to be given to each Agent by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents (unless concurrently delivered to the Lenders by the Borrower and provided that the Collateral Agent may instead deliver such notice to the Administrative Agent). Each Agent will distribute to each Lender each document or instrument received for its account and copies of all other communications received by the Agent from the Borrower for distribution to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents; provided, that the Collateral Agent may instead deliver such documents to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.8. Reliance by the Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telecopy, electronic mail, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents, each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders as is required in such circumstance, and such instructions of such Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all Secured Parties. For purposes of applying amounts in accordance with this Section, each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Secured Party that has entered into a Hedging Agreement with any Obligor for a determination (which such Secured Party agrees to provide or cause to be provided upon request of the Agent) of the outstanding Obligations owed to such Secured Party under any Hedging Agreement. Unless it has actual knowledge evidenced by way of written notice from any such Secured Party and the Borrower to the contrary, each Agent, in acting in such capacity under the Loan Documents, shall be entitled to assume that no Hedging Agreements or Obligations in respect thereof are in existence or outstanding between any Secured Party and any Obligor.

SECTION 9.9. Defaults. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default unless the Agent has received a written notice from a Lender or the Borrower specifying such Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders (or in the case of the Collateral Agent, notice to the Administrative Agent). Each Agent shall (subject to Section 10.1) take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders; provided, that unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take

-84-

such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Secured Parties except to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or not be taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of the Required Lenders or all Lenders.

SECTION 9.10. Posting of Approved Electronic Communications by the Administrative Agent. The following terms shall govern the posting of certain information by electronic medium:

In addition, the Borrower shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, in the manner specified in the Loan Documents.

(b) The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Intralinks or a similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).

(c) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS.

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY OBLIGOR, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES

-85-

(WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY OBLIGOR’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

(d) The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

(e) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

SECTION 9.11. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, concurso mercantil, quiebra, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Obligor, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made the demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Secured Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due to the Secured Parties under Article III and Section 10.3) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Article III and Section 10.3.

-86-

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, concurso mercantil, quiebra, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

(a) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of any Credit Extension;

(b) the entering into and performance of any Loan Document by any of the Indemnified Parties (including any action brought by or on behalf of the Borrower as the result of any determination by the Required Lenders pursuant to Article V not to fund any Credit Extension; provided, that any such action is resolved in favor of such Indemnified Party);

(c) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to any acquisition or proposed acquisition by any Obligor or any Subsidiary thereof of all or any portion of the Capital Securities or assets of any Person, whether or not an Indemnified Party is party thereto;

(f) each Lender’s Environmental Liability (the indemnification herein shall survive repayment of the Obligations and any transfer of the property of any Obligor or its Subsidiaries by foreclosure or by a deed in lieu of foreclosure for any Lender’s Environmental Liability, regardless of whether caused by, or within the control of, such Obligor or such Subsidiary);

except for Indemnified Liabilities arising for the account of a particular Indemnified Party to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and un-appealable judgment to have resulted from the relevant Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or intentional breach in bad faith of any Loan Document. Each Obligor and its successors and assigns hereby waive, release and agree not to make any claim or bring any cost recovery action against, any Indemnified Party under CERCLA or any state equivalent, or any similar law now existing or hereafter enacted. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the extent that any Indemnified Party is strictly liable under any Environmental Laws, each Obligor’s obligation to such Indemnified Party under this indemnity shall likewise be without regard to fault on the part of any Obligor with respect to the violation or condition which results in liability of an Indemnified Party. If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, each Obligor agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Party on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Credit Extension or the use of the proceeds thereof.

SECTION 10.5. Survival.

SECTION 10.6. Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such provision and such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of such Loan Document or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

EACH LETTER OF CREDIT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OR RULES DESIGNATED IN SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT, OR IF NO LAWS OR RULES ARE DESIGNATED, THE INTERNATIONAL STANDBY PRACTICES (ISP98—INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PUBLICATION NUMBER 590 (THE “ISP RULES”)) AND, AS TO MATTERS NOT GOVERNED BY THE ISP RULES, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersede any prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto.

SECTION 10.10. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, that the Borrower may not assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder without the consent of all Lenders, and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void.

(i) the Borrower; provided, that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to (i) an Affiliate of a Lender or (ii) any other Eligible Assignee if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment for purposes of this Section if the Borrower fails to notify the relevant Lender and the Administrative Agent within five Business Days following the requested assignment that it withholds its consent;

(ii) the Administrative Agent; provided, that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; provided, further, that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to any other Eligible Assignee if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and

(iii) the Issuer and the Swing Line Lender; provided, that no consent of the Issuer or the Swing Line Lender shall be required for an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; provided, further, that no consent of the Issuer or the Swing Line Lender shall be required for an assignment to any other Eligible Assignee if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

-92-

(b) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitments or Revolving Loans, the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments or Revolving Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of (A) the date the Lender Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or (B) if earlier, the “trade date” (if any) specified in such Lender Assignment Agreement) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided, that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 8.1.1 or Section 8.1.9 has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

(ii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Lender Assignment Agreement via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (or, at the Administrative Agent’s or the Borrower’s request, manually) together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); provided, that only one such fee shall be payable in the case of contemporaneous assignments to or by two or more related Approved Funds or Affiliates of the same Lender; and

(iii) the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire and all applicable tax forms.

(c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (d), from and after the effective date specified in each Lender Assignment Agreement, (i) the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall (if not already a Lender) be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Lender Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall (subject to Section 10.5) be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Lender Assignment Agreement (and, in the case of a Lender Assignment Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto, but shall (as to matters arising prior to the effectiveness of the Lender Assignment Agreement) continue to be entitled to the benefits of any provisions of the Loan Documents which by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with the terms of this Section shall be treated for purposes of the Loan Documents as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (e) (and shall be required to comply therewith).

-93-

(d) The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as the Borrower’s agent, solely for the purpose of this clause, to maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Lender Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Revolving Loan Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Revolving Loans owing to each Lender, and (to the extent it is the Issuer), the Letter of Credit Outstandings and Reimbursement Amounts, pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time outstanding. Failure to make any recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Obligor’s Obligations. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person in whose name a Revolving Loan is registered (or, if applicable, to which a Revolving Note has been issued) as the owner thereof for the purposes of all Loan Documents, notwithstanding notice or any provision herein to the contrary. Any assignment or transfer of a Revolving Loan Commitment or the Revolving Loans made pursuant hereto shall be registered in the Register only upon delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Lender Assignment Agreement that has been executed by the requisite parties pursuant to this Section. No assignment or transfer of a Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment or Revolving Loans shall be effective unless such assignment or transfer shall have been recorded in the Register by the Administrative Agent as provided in this Section.

(e) Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, any Person, sell participations to one or more Persons (other than a natural person or to the Borrower, to an Affiliate of a Borrower, to any other Person taking direction from, or working in concert with, the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates, or to a competitor of KCS, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any other Person who is primarily engaged in business in the transportation industry; such non-excluded Persons referred to as a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights or obligations under the Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Revolving Loan Commitments or the Revolving Loans owing to it); provided, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the rights and remedies of a Lender under the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, supplement, amendment and restatement or other modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, take any action of the type described in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) or (f) of Section 10.1 which directly and adversely affect such Participant and the Loans and Commitments participated in by that Participant. Subject to clause (f), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.3,

-94-

Section 4.4, Section 4.5, Section 4.6, Section 7.1.1, Section 10.3 and Section 10.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (a). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.9 as though it were a Lender, but only if such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.8 as though it were a Lender.

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.3, Section 4.4, Section 4.5, Section 4.6, Section 10.3 or Section 10.4 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.6 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with the requirements set forth in Section 4.6 and Section 4.11 as though it were a Lender. Any Lender that sells a participating interest in any Loan, Commitment or other interest to a Participant under this Section shall indemnify and hold harmless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent from and against any taxes, penalties, interest or other costs or losses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred or payable by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as a result of the failure of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations to deduct or withhold any Taxes from any payments made pursuant to this Agreement to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, which Taxes would not have been incurred or payable if such Participant had been a Lender that was entitled to deliver to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and did in fact so deliver, the duly completed and valid applicable form entitling such Participant to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal taxes.

(g) Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, any Obligor, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank and this Section shall not apply to such pledge or assignment; provided, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(h) The Borrower may prohibit any assignment if it would require the Borrower to make any filing with any Governmental Authority or qualify any Loan or Note under the laws of any jurisdiction and the Borrower shall be entitled to receive information as it may reasonably request from any Lender or any Assignee to determine whether any such filing or qualification is required or whether any assignment is in accordance with applicable law.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Obligor nor any Affiliate of any Obligor may acquire by assignment, participation or otherwise any right to or interest in any of the Revolving Loan Commitments or Revolving Loans hereunder (and any such attempted acquisition or Participation shall be null and void) without the consent of Lenders holding at least 66²/3% of the Total Exposure Amount.

-95-

(j) In the event that S&P or Moody’s, shall, after the date that any Person becomes a Revolving Loan Lender, downgrade the long-term certificate of deposit ratings of such Lender, and the resulting ratings shall be below BBB- or Baa3, respectively, or the equivalent, then the Borrower, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuer shall each have the right, but not the obligation, upon notice to such Revolving Loan Lender and the Administrative Agent, to replace such Revolving Loan Lender with an Eligible Assignee or a financial institution (a “Replacement Lender”) acceptable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuers and the Swing Line Lender (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that no such consent shall be required if the Replacement Lender is an existing Revolving Loan Lender), and upon any such downgrading of any Revolving Loan Lender’s long-term certificate of deposit rating, such Revolving Loan Lender hereby agrees to transfer and assign (in accordance with this Section) all of its Revolving Commitments and other rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including Reimbursement Obligations) to such Replacement Lender; provided, that (i) such assignment shall be without recourse, representation or warranty (other than that such Lender owns the Revolving Loan Commitments, Revolving Loans and Revolving Notes being assigned, free and clear of any Liens) and (ii) the purchase price paid by the Replacement Lender shall be in the amount of such Revolving Loan Lender’s Revolving Loans and its Revolving Loan Percentage of outstanding Reimbursement Obligations, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and fees in respect thereof, plus all other amounts (other than the amounts (if any) demanded and unreimbursed under Section 4.2 through (and including) Section 4.6, which shall be paid by the Borrower), owing to such Revolving Loan Lender hereunder. Upon any such termination or assignment, such Revolving Loan Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to the obligations of, any provisions of the Loan Documents which by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.12. Other Transactions. Nothing contained herein shall preclude the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any other Lender from engaging in any transaction, in addition to those contemplated by the Loan Documents, with the Borrower or any of its Affiliates in which the Borrower or such Affiliate is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.

SECTION 10.13. Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction. ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, this agreement, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS, ANY ISSUER OR THE BORROWER IN CONNECTION HEREWITH shall BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE AND COUNTY OF NEW YORK OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED, THAT ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE

-96-

BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND. THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF NEW YORK AT THE ADDRESS FOR NOTICES SPECIFIED IN SECTION 10.2. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE JURISDICTION OF ANY OTHER COURTS TO WHICH IT MAY BE ENTITLED TO, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE OR HEREAFTER MAY HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE BORROWER HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

SECTION 10.14. National Security Laws. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the United States PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56, signed into law October 26, 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”)), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes, if available, the name, address and tax identification number of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Borrower in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.

SECTION 10.15. Judgment Currency. All payments made under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made in Dollars, the “Agreement Currency”), and, if for any reason any payment made hereunder or under any Loan Document is made in a currency (the “Other Currency”) other than the applicable Agreement Currency, then to the extent that the payment actually received by the relevant Secured Party, when converted into the applicable Agreement Currency at the Rate of Exchange (as defined below) on the date of payment (or, if conversion on such date is not practicable, as soon thereafter as it is practicable for such Secured Party to purchase the applicable Agreement Currency) falls short of the amount due under the terms of this Agreement or any Loan Document, the Obligors shall, as a separate and independent obligation of the Obligors, indemnify such Secured Party and hold such Secured Party harmless against the amount of such shortfall. As used in this Section, the term “Rate of Exchange” means the rate at which the Secured Party is able on the relevant date to purchase the applicable Agreement Currency with the Other Currency and shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into, the applicable Agreement Currency.

SECTION 10.16. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by Applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal

-97-

of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

SECTION 10.17. Process Agent. FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROCEEDINGS IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK (IN EACH CASE LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY), EACH OBLIGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY DESIGNATES AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE CT CORPORATION SYSTEM (THE “PROCESS AGENT”) WITH OFFICES CURRENTLY LOCATED AT 111 EIGHTH AVENUE, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10011 AS ITS AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS. IN THE EVENT THAT SUCH AGENT OR ANY SUCCESSOR SHALL CEASE TO BE LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, EACH OBLIGOR SHALL PROMPTLY AND IRREVOCABLY BEFORE THE RELOCATION OF SUCH AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS, IF PRACTICABLE, OR PROMPTLY THEREAFTER DESIGNATE A SUCCESSOR AGENT, WHICH SUCCESSOR AGENT SHALL BE LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, AND NOTIFY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THEREOF, TO ACCEPT ON ITS BEHALF SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS OR OTHER DOCUMENTS WHICH MAY BE SERVED IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY OF SUCH COURTS AND FURTHER AGREES THAT SERVICE UPON SUCH AGENT SHALL CONSTITUTE VALID AND EFFECTIVE SERVICE UPON EACH SUCH OBLIGOR AND THAT FAILURE OF ANY SUCH AGENT TO GIVE ANY NOTICE OF SUCH SERVICE TO SUCH OBLIGOR SHALL NOT AFFECT THE VALIDITY OF SUCH SERVICE OR ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED THEREON. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL SUCH PROCESS OR OTHER DOCUMENTS ON SUCH PERSON MAY ALSO BE EFFECTED BY REGISTERED MAIL TO ITS ADDRESS AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 10.2. WITH RESPECT TO EACH OBLIGOR, SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL SUCH PROCESS OR OTHER DOCUMENTS TO THE PROCESS AGENT OR SUCH OTHER AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS DESIGNATED BY SUCH OBLIGOR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL CONSTITUTE VALID AND EFFECTIVE SERVICE ONLY IF MADE IN PERSON TO THE PROCESS AGENT OR SUCH OTHER AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS.

SECTION 10.18. Payment Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Obligor is made to the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of similar application or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of

-98-

such recovery, the obligation or par thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred; and (b) each Lender and Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment. The obligations of the Lenders and the Issuers under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.19. Waiver of Immunities. To the extent that any Obligor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its assets, such Obligor hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The foregoing waiver is intended to be effective to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by Applicable Law.

SECTION 10.20. Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and be required to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement with each Person receiving the Information containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any Hedging Agreement relating to the Borrower and its obligations; (g) with the consent of the Borrower; or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any Obligor or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or such Subsidiary; provided, that in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided

-99-

in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders acknowledges that (i) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with Applicable Law, including Federal and state securities laws.

SECTION 10.21. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EACH LENDER, EACH ISSUER AND THE BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, EACH LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, SUCH LENDER, SUCH ISSUER OR THE BORROWER IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THE BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PROVISION (AND EACH OTHER PROVISION OF EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY) AND THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EACH LENDER AND EACH ISSUER ENTERING INTO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER.

-100-
