incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Tranche A Revolving
Commitments.

          2.1.3 Tranche B Loans. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions
set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make one term loan (each, a
"Tranche B Loan" and collectively, the "Tranche B Loans") to Comercial on the
Effective Date in an aggregate amount



                                      18

<PAGE>


equal to such Lender's Tranche B Commitment. Tranche B Loans are available
only on the terms and conditions specified hereunder, and once repaid, in full
or in part, at maturity or by prepayment, may not be reborrowed in full or in
part. For the purpose of clarification, the Tranche B Commitments are for
principal only and are exclusive of any amount of interest, fees or other
amounts due hereunder. The Borrowing of Tranche B Loans shall be incurred from
the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Tranche B Commitments.

          2.2 Notice of Borrowing. Whenever Comercial desires to make a
Borrowing, it shall give the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office at
least three Business Days' prior notice thereof; provided, that such notice
shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 11:00
a.m. (U.S. Central Standard time) on such day; and if given at 11:00 a.m.
(U.S. Central Standard time) or later on any day, such notice shall be deemed
to have been given on the following Business Day. Such notice (the "Notice of
Borrowing") shall be irrevocable and shall be given by Comercial in
substantially the form of Exhibit A, appropriately completed to specify (i)
the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be made pursuant to such
Borrowing, (ii) whether such Borrowing will consist of Base Rate Loans or
LIBOR Loans, (iii) the Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day), (iv)
the duration of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto (which shall be
one, two, three or, if available and in the discretion of the Administrative
Agent, six months), and (v) the maturity date of any Tranche A Revolving Note
to be issued to evidence any proposed Tranche A Revolving Note and noting
either that there are no Tranche A Revolving Notes then outstanding or that
all other Tranche A Revolving Notes have the same maturity date. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly (but in any event, not later than two
Business Days prior to the applicable Borrowing Date) give each relevant
Lender notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Lender's proportionate share
thereof, if any, and of the other matters required by the immediately
preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

          2.3 Disbursement of Funds.

          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, no later than 11:00
a.m. (U.S. Central Standard time) on the applicable Borrowing Date, each
Lender will make available, through such Lender's Lending Office, its pro rata
portion, if any, of the aggregate amount of the Loans requested to be made on
such date, in Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office
of the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent will transfer the
aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders to, or to the order
of, Comercial pursuant to wire instructions provided to the Administrative
Agent not later than two Business Days prior to such Borrowing Date.

          (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any
Lender prior to the date of the applicable Borrowing that such Lender does not
intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's portion of
such Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume
that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on
such date and the Administrative Agent may (but shall have no obligation to),
in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Comercial a corresponding
amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the
Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender on demand. If
such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith



                                      19

<PAGE>


upon the Administrative Agent's demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify Comercial and Comercial shall promptly pay such corresponding
amount to the Administrative Agent; provided, that any such repayment by
Comercial under this Section 2.3(b) shall not constitute a repayment of the
Loans for purposes of the second sentence of Section 2.1.1 or the second
sentence of Section 2.1.3. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to
recover on demand from such Lender or Comercial, as the case may be, interest
on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such
corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to
Comercial until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the
Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if such amount is
recovered from such Lender, the cost to the Administrative Agent of acquiring
overnight federal funds at the then applicable rate for the Loans, and (ii) if
such amount is recovered from Comercial, the then applicable rate of interest
as provided herein. Nothing in this Section 2.3 shall be deemed to relieve any
Lender from its obligation to make a Loan hereunder or to prejudice any rights
which Comercial may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such
Lender to make a Loan thereunder.

          2.4 Notes.

          (a) Comercial's obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on,
each Tranche A Term Loan made by a Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory
note (each, a "Tranche A Term Note") which shall be a Base Rate Note to
evidence Borrowings accruing interest at the Base Rate and/or a LIBOR Note to
evidence Borrowings accruing interest at LIBOR, as the case may be) in
substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 or Exhibit B-2, respectively, duly
executed and delivered by Comercial (and signed por aval by Vitrocrisa and
Vitro) with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith. Comercial's
obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, each Tranche A Revolving
Loans made by a Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note (each, a
"Tranche A Revolving Note") which shall be a Base Rate Note to evidence
Borrowings accruing interest at the Base Rate and/or a LIBOR Note to evidence
Borrowings accruing interest at LIBOR, as the case may be) in substantially
the form of Exhibit B-3 or Exhibit B-4, respectively, duly executed and
delivered by Comercial (and signed por aval by Vitrocrisa and Vitro) with
blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith. Comercial's obligation
to pay the principal of, and interest on, each Tranche B Loan made by a Lender
shall be evidenced by a promissory note (each, a "Tranche B Note") which shall
be a Base Rate Note to evidence Borrowings accruing interest at the Base Rate
and/or a LIBOR Note to evidence Borrowings accruing interest at LIBOR, as the
case may be) in substantially the form of Exhibit B-5 or Exhibit B-6,
respectively, duly executed and delivered by Comercial (and signed por aval by
Vitrocrisa) with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith. The
Notes issued to each Lender on or before each Borrowing Date in accordance
with Section 5.2.6 shall (i) be executed by Comercial (and signed por aval by
Vitrocrisa and in the case of the Tranche A Notes also signed por aval by
Vitro), (ii) be payable to such Lender and be dated such Borrowing Date, (iii)
be in a stated principal amount equal to the relevant Loan of such Lender made
on such Borrowing Date, (iv) provide for repayment of principal as provided in
Section 4.2, (v) bear interest as provided in Section 2.6, and (vi) in the
case of the Revolving Tranche A Notes, all notes outstanding at any time shall
have the same maturity date, and such maturity date shall not occur more than
6 months after the funding date of the Tranche A Revolving Loan that has been
outstanding for the longest time. Upon changes to the Tranche A Applicable
Margin or Tranche B Applicable Margin pursuant to the provisos to the
definitions

                                      20
<PAGE>

thereof or in the case of a change from LIBOR to the Base Rate
pursuant to Section 2.8(a), Comercial and Vitrocrisa (and in the case of
changes to the Tranche A Applicable Margin, Vitro) shall execute or sign por
aval, as applicable, and deliver new Notes to the Lenders reflecting the new
Applicable Margin; and the Lenders shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
for cancellation the Notes to be replaced and the Administrative Agent shall
promptly deliver the canceled Notes to Comercial.

          (b) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each
Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and will, prior to any
transfer of its Note, endorse such Note "en propriedad" and record on such
Note any amounts received thereunder as of the date of transfer. Failure to
make any such notation shall not affect Comercial's obligations (or
Vitrocrisa's or Vitro's obligations as guarantors) in respect of such Loans.

          2.5 Several Commitments. No Lender shall be responsible for any
default by any other Lender of its obligation to make a Loan, and each Lender
shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder
regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loan hereunder.

          2.6 Interest.

          (a) Comercial agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid
principal amount of each Loan from the date the proceeds thereof are made
available to Comercial as provided herein until the maturity thereof (whether
by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall, during each
period applicable thereto, be (i) in respect of LIBOR Loans, equal to the sum
of LIBOR for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin in effect during
such period, (ii) in respect of Base Rate Loans, equal to the sum of the Base
Rate for such period plus the Applicable Margin in effect during such period
and (iii) upon the occurrence of the events described in Section 2.8(a), the
rate of interest shall be as provided therein.

          (b) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue
interest in respect of each Loan and any other overdue amount payable by
Comercial hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall bear
interest payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to (i) in respect of
LIBOR Loans, the sum of LIBOR in effect from time to time plus the relevant
Applicable Margin applicable to such Loan in effect during such period plus
2.00%, or (ii) in respect of Base Rate Loans, the sum of the Base Rate plus
the relevant Applicable Margin applicable to such Loan in effect during such
period plus 2.00%.

          (c) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable in
respect of (i) each LIBOR Loan on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto in the case of interest accruing during a one-, two- or
three-month Interest Period, and, on the day which is three months after the
first day, and on the last day, of the Interest Period applicable thereto in
the case of interest accruing during a six-month Interest Period, and (ii)
each Base Rate Loan on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, for the
quarter then ending. Interest on all Loans shall also be payable, on any
repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity
(whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.



                                      21

<PAGE>


          (d) In the case of LIBOR Loans, on each Interest Determination Date
the Administrative Agent shall determine LIBOR for the Interest Period
applicable to such Loans and shall promptly notify in writing Comercial and
the Lenders thereof. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of LIBOR
and the Base Rate shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and
binding on all parties hereto.

          (e) In accordance with Section 4.3 hereof, all payments under this
Section 2.6 from, or on behalf of, Comercial shall be made to the
Administrative Agent for distribution by the Administrative Agent to the
Lenders in like funds as received and to the extent received by the
Administrative Agent.

          2.7 Interest Periods. (a) As to the making of any LIBOR Loan, at the
time Comercial gives the Notice of Borrowing in respect of the making of such
LIBOR Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or
on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period
applicable to such LIBOR Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period),
Comercial shall have the right to elect, by giving the Administrative Agent
notice thereof, the interest period (the "Interest Period") applicable to such
LIBOR Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of Comercial, be a
one-, two-, three- or, if available and in the discretion of the
Administrative Agent, six-month period; provided, that (i) all LIBOR Loans
comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period, (ii)
the initial Interest Period for the LIBOR Loans shall commence on the
Borrowing Date of such LIBOR Loans and each Interest Period occurring
immediately thereafter in respect of such LIBOR Loans (A) shall commence on
(and include) the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable
thereto expires, and (B) shall not include the day on which the Interest
Period for such LIBOR Loans expires, (iii) no Interest Period may be selected
at any time when a Default or Event of Default is then in existence or when
such Interest Period extends beyond the relevant Final Maturity Date, (iv) no
Interest Period with respect to the Tranche A Term Loans or the Tranche B
Loans shall extend beyond any date upon which a repayment of the Tranche A
Term Loans or the Tranche B Loans, respectively, is required to be made
pursuant to Section 4.2 unless the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche A
Term Loans which are Base Rate Loans or which have Interest Periods which will
expire before such date is equal to or in excess of the amount of the
repayment of the Tranche A Term Loans or the Tranche B Loans, as the case may
be, required to be made on such date, and (v) there shall be no more than two
Interest Periods in effect at any time for Tranche A Revolving Loans
consisting of LIBOR Loans and (vi) there shall be no more than one Interest
Period at any time for all Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche B Loans consisting
of LIBOR Loans. If on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of any
Interest Period, Comercial has failed to make an election of a new Interest
Period to be applicable thereto, Comercial shall be deemed to have elected a
one-month Interest Period.

          (b) If any Interest Period relating to any Loan begins on a day for
which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the
end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last
Business Day of such calendar month.

          (c) If any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is
not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding
Business Day (provided, however, that if any Interest Period would otherwise
expire on a day which is not a Business Day



                                      22

<PAGE>


but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such
month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day).

          2.8 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.

          (a) In the event that any Lender (or, the Administrative Agent, in
the case of Section 2.8(a)(i) as to which only the Administrative Agent is
permitted to make a determination) shall have determined (which determination
shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all
parties hereto):

               (i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any
     changes arising after the Closing Date affecting the London interbank
     Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining
     the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition
     of LIBOR; or

               (ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs
     or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with
     respect to any Loan because of (x) any change since the Closing Date in
     any applicable Law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or
     request (whether or not having the force of Law) or in the interpretation
     or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new Law
     or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as,
     for example, but not limited to: (A) a change in the basis of taxation of
     payments to any Lender of the principal of or interest on the Notes or
     any other amounts payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate of
     tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or profits of such
     Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized
     or in which its principal office or applicable lending office is located
     or any subdivision thereof or therein) or (B) a change in official
     reserve requirements and/or (y) other circumstances external to such
     Lender since the Closing Date affecting such Lender or the London
     interbank Eurodollar market or the position of such Lender in such
     market; or

               (iii) at any time, that the making, conversion or continuance
     of any Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any Law or governmental rule,
     regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good
     faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of Law)
     or (z) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the
     Closing Date which materially and adversely affects the London interbank
     Eurodollar market;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the
case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give telephonic notice (confirmed in
writing) to Comercial and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the
Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative
Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in
the case of clause (i) above, the interest rate during the applicable Interest
Period shall be the Base Rate in effect from time to time during such Interest
Period plus the Applicable Margin, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above,
Comercial shall pay to such Lender, upon written demand therefor, such
additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such
increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a
written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing the
basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to



                                      23

<PAGE>


Comercial by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive
and binding on all the parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii)
above, Comercial shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.8(b) as
promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by
law.

          (b) At any time that any Loan is affected by the circumstances
described in Section 2.8(a)(i) or (ii), Comercial may (and in the case of a
Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.8(a)(iii) shall) if
the affected Loan is then outstanding, upon at least five Business Days'
written notice to the Administrative Agent, repay the Loan of the affected
Lender (including all accrued interest and fees); provided, that if more than
one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated
the same pursuant to this Section 2.8(b).

          (c) If any Lender determines at any time that the introduction or
implementation of, or any change in, any applicable Law or governmental rule,
regulation, order, guideline, direction or request (whether or not having the
force of Law), concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or
administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or
comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any Person controlling
such Lender based on the existence of such Lender's Tranche A Revolving
Commitment, Tranche A Term Commitment and/or Tranche B Commitment hereunder or
its obligations or Loans hereunder, then Comercial shall pay to such Lender,
within 15 Business Days of its written demand therefor, such additional
amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender for the increased cost
to such Lender as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such
additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will
use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable; provided, that
such Lender's determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.8
shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the
parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will
be payable pursuant to this Section 2.8(c), will give prompt written notice
thereof to Comercial and the Administrative Agent, which notice shall show the
basis for calculation of such additional amounts; provided, that no such
additional amounts shall be payable hereunder for any period from 45 days
after the date on which the affected Lender becomes actually aware of such
increased capital requirements to the date on which such Lender delivers
notice of such increased capital requirements.

          2.9 Compensation. Comercial shall compensate each Lender, upon its
written request (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such
compensation and shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and
binding on all the parties hereto), for all reasonable losses, expenses and
liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability
incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other
funds required by such Lender to fund its Loans) which such Lender may
sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the
Administrative Agent) the Borrowing of Loans does not occur on the date
specified therefor in the Notice of Borrowing (whether or not withdrawn by
Comercial); (ii) if any repayment (including any prepayment made pursuant to
Section 4, but excluding any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.3(b)) of its
LIBOR Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period
with respect thereto; (iii) as a consequence of (x) any other default by
Comercial to repay the Loans when required by the terms of this



                                      24

<PAGE>


Agreement or the Notes or (y) any actions taken pursuant to Section 2.8(b); or
(iv) as a consequence of the assignment or participation by any Lender of all
or any portion of the Loans.

          2.10 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the
occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.8 or 4.4
with respect to such Lender, it shall, if reasonably requested by Comercial,
designate another Lending Office for any Loans affected by such event;
provided, that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its
Lending Office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage or loss,
with the object of avoiding or reducing the consequence of the event giving
rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.10 shall
affect or postpone any of the obligations of Comercial or the right of any
Lender provided in Section 2.8 or 4.4.

          Section 3. Fees.

          3.1 Commitment Fee. Comercial agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Lender having a Tranche A Revolving Commitment a
commitment fee (the "Commitment Fee") for the period from the Closing Date to
the Tranche A Revolving Commitment Termination Date on the average daily
unused portion of such Lender's Tranche A Revolving Commitment, as from time
to time in effect, at the rate of .75% per annum. The Commitment Fee shall be
payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter. Any amount of
accrued Commitment Fees which is not paid when due shall bear interest payable
on demand, from the date on which such amount is due until such amount is paid
in full, at the rate per annum equal at all times to the lesser of (i) the
highest lawful rate under applicable law, and (ii) 2% per annum above the sum
of the Tranche A Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate.

          3.2 Upfront and Structuring Fees. Comercial agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Arranger, on the Closing Date, all
upfront fees and structuring fees in the amount specified in, and otherwise in
accordance with, the terms of and for the account of the Persons specified, in
the Administrative Agent Fee Letter. For the avoidance of doubt, such fees may
be paid from the proceeds of the Loans made on the initial Borrowing Date.

          3.3 Administrative Agency Fee. Comercial agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for its sole account, on the Closing Date and on each
anniversary date thereafter, an administrative agency fee in the amount
specified in, and otherwise in accordance with, the terms of the
Administrative Agent Fee Letter. For the avoidance of doubt, the initial fee
due pursuant to this Section 3.3 may be paid from the proceeds of the Loans
made on the initial Borrowing Date.

          3.4 Collateral Agency Fee. Comercial agrees to pay to the Collateral
Agents for their sole account, on the Closing Date and on such dates specified
in the Collateral Agent Fee Letter, a collateral agency fee in the amount
specified in, and otherwise in accordance with, the terms of the Collateral
Agent Fee Letter. In addition, Comercial agrees to reimburse the Collateral
Agents for their sole account, on the Closing Date and at such other times as
specified in the Collateral Agent Fee Letter, all out-of-pocket expenses
reasonably incurred by the Collateral Agents, in accordance with the terms of
the Collateral Agent Fee Letter. For the



                                      25

<PAGE>


avoidance of doubt, the initial fee due pursuant to this Section 3.4 may be
paid from the proceeds of the Loans made on the initial Borrowing Date.

          Section 4. Prepayments; Payments.

          4.1 Voluntary Prepayments. Comercial shall have the right to prepay
the Loans, without premium or penalty, in whole or in part, on the following
terms and conditions: (a) Comercial shall give the Administrative Agent at the
Notice Office at least five Business Days' prior written notice of its intent
to prepay the Loans and the amount of such prepayment; (b) each prepayment in
respect of any Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least
U.S.$2,500,000; (c) prepayments of a LIBOR Loan may only be made pursuant to
this Section 4.1 on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto,
unless Comercial pays all amounts owing under Section 2.9 as a result of
repaying such Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto; (d) all voluntary prepayments (other than voluntary
prepayments designated by the Borrower as prepayments of Tranche A Revolving
Loans) and Excess Cash Flow Prepayments on the Loans shall be applied as
follows: (i) the initial U.S.$6,000,000 of such voluntary prepayments and
Excess Cash Flow Prepayments shall be applied pro rata based on the ratio of
the outstanding Tranche A Loans plus unused Tranche A Revolving Commitments to
the outstanding Tranche B Loans on the date the prepayment is made as follows:
(A) first to all Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche B Loans then outstanding in
inverse order of maturity; and (B) after all Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche
B Loans have been repaid in full, to the Tranche A Revolving Loans then
outstanding; and (ii) all other voluntary prepayments and Excess Cash Flow
Prepayments shall be applied as follows: (A) first, to all Tranche A Term
Loans then outstanding in inverse order of maturity, until the outstanding
amount of Tranche B Loans reaches 49% of the sum of the aggregate principal
amount of the Loans then outstanding plus the unused Tranche A Revolving
Commitments; (B) thereafter until all Tranche B Loans are paid in full,
further voluntary prepayments and Excess Cash Flow Prepayments will be applied
to Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche B Loans in inverse order of maturity, in a
proportion that assures that following the application of such repayment the
Tranche A Loans plus the unused Tranche A Revolving Commitments represent 51%
and the Tranche B Term Loans represent 49%, in each case, of the sum of the
aggregate principal amount of the Loans then outstanding plus the unused
Tranche A Revolving Commitments; and (C) thereafter, further voluntary
prepayments and Excess Cash Flow Prepayments will be applied to repay Tranche
A Term Loans in inverse order of maturity and after all Tranche A Term Loans
are paid, to repay Tranche A Revolving Loans; and (e) any voluntary
prepayments applied to the Tranche A Term Loans and any Excess Cash Flow
Prepayments applied to repay Tranche A Loans shall permanently reduce, on a
pro rata basis, the Tranche A Revolving Commitments in an amount equal to such
voluntary prepayments or Excess Cash Flow Prepayments. All prepayments
pursuant to this Section shall be made together with accrued interest to the
date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid. The foregoing
notwithstanding, amounts paid by a Guarantor to pay in full the Loans
guaranteed by a Defaulting Guarantor shall be applied to the Loans guaranteed
by the Defaulting Guarantor, it being further understood that in such
instance, the Guarantor making such payment shall not have greater subrogation
rights than the Defaulting Guarantor would have had under the terms of its
Guaranty.

          4.2.1 Mandatory Repayment of Tranche A Term Loans. Comercial shall
repay the Tranche A Term Loans in nineteen (19) consecutive quarterly
installments and on the Final Maturity Date for Tranche A Term Loans, on the
dates set forth below and in an amount, on each such date, equal to the
product of (x) the applicable percentage set forth opposite such date and (y)
the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans made (each such

              Bank of Montreal, Chicago Branch
              A/C# 1833201
              Re:  Comercial

The foregoing wire instructions may be changed at any time by the
Administrative Agent by providing ten (10) days advance notice to Comercial in
the manner provided herein.

          (b) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note
shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date
thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless such next
Business Day falls in the following calendar month, in which case the due date
shall be the next preceding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of
principal, such extension or reduction of time shall be included in the
computation of interest.

          4.4 Net Payments. All payments made by Comercial and Vitrocrisa
hereunder or under any Note will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other
defense. All such payments will be made free and clear of, and without
deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, value-added taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature
now or hereafter imposed (in all cases excluding income taxes) and all
interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (collectively,
"Additional Costs"); provided, however, that anything herein contained to the
contrary notwithstanding, Comercial and Vitrocrisa shall not be required to
pay withholding taxes in excess of the amount of withholding taxes that would
be payable by a financial institution that is both (i) a resident of a country
with which Mexico has entered into a treaty for the avoidance of double
taxation which is in effect in such country and (ii) registered with the SHCP
for purposes of Article 195(I) of the Mexican Income Tax Law (or any successor
provision). Such withholding tax rate is currently 4.9%. If any Additional
Costs are required by Law to be deducted or withheld from, or in respect of,
any sum payable hereunder, each of Comercial and Vitrocrisa, as the case may
be, agrees to pay, subject to the proviso in the immediately foregoing
sentence, the full amount of such Additional Costs and such other additional
amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due hereunder
or under any Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any
Additional Costs, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in
such Note. Subject to the proviso in the first sentence of this Section 4.4,
Comercial or Vitrocrisa, as the case may be, will furnish to the
Administrative Agent within sixty (60) days after the date the payment of any
Additional Costs is due pursuant to applicable law copies of tax forms
evidencing such payment by Comercial or Vitrocrisa, duly stamped by or on
behalf of the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit of Mexico (the "SHCP") or
any other applicable Government Agency. Subject to the proviso in the first
sentence of this Section 4.4, each of Comercial and Vitrocrisa, as the case
may be, will indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such
Lender promptly upon its written request, for the amount of any Additional
Costs or other taxes described above which are levied or imposed on and paid
by such Lender.

do all things necessary or appropriate in respect of its business and (iii) is
duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing in

insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws generally
affecting creditors' rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether
enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

Vitrocrisa or Comercial of the Transaction Documents to which each is a party,

Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Comercial
or Vitrocrisa shall have the right to request the Administrative Agent to
terminate any Acceptable Letter of Credit previously delivered to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 7.19 and to return any cash
collateral then held by the Administrative Agent or an Acceptable Bank in a
Cash Collateral Account pursuant to Section 7.19(b).

the fiscal quarter immediately preceding such fiscal quarter, in each case
calculated in constant Pesos as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of
Comercial to which such certificate applies, each such prepayment, an "Excess
Cash Flow Prepayment". Each Excess Cash Flow Prepayment shall be applied to
the repayment of Loans pursuant to Sections 4.1(d) and (e). Prior to any such
prepayment, the calculation of any Excess Cash Flow Prepayment shall be
converted from Pesos into Dollars pursuant to a conversion rate in effect at
the time such calculation is performed, and each Excess Cash Flow Prepayment
shall be paid in Dollars.

          (b) For the purposes of this Agreement, the term "Excess Cash Flow
Amount" shall mean, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of Comercial,
Combined Operating Cash Flow for the twelve-month period ending on the last
day of such fiscal quarter plus or minus working capital (as defined under
GAAP), plus or minus gross interest expense (as defined under GAAP), plus or
minus taxes, plus or minus Consolidated Capital Expenditures, plus or minus
any permitted dividends paid by Comercial or Vitrocrisa during such period,
plus or minus mandatory prepayments or repayments paid during such period with
respect to the Obligations (including any Excess Cash Flow Prepayments
previously paid) and any other permitted Indebtedness incurred pursuant to
Section 8.3 including any such permitted Indebtedness owing to Affiliates,
plus or minus Other Transactions to the extent not otherwise included in any

Cash Flow Amount is calculated, minus restricted cash held in the Debt Reserve
Account (as defined in the Security Agreement) and, minus restricted cash held
in the Vitrocrisa Comercial Collection Account to the extent required to pay
debt service for the next quarter; provided, that the foregoing shall be
calculated on a combined basis for Comercial and Vitrocrisa.

            Section 10. Guaranty.

            10.1 Guaranty. For valuable consideration, the receipt of which is
hereby acknowledged, and to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement,
Vitrocrisa hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees prompt payment
when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at
all times thereafter, of any and all Obligations of Comercial to the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and any holder of a
Note, or any of them, under or with respect to the Transaction Documents,
whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise, in each case
howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute
or contingent, now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due
(collectively, the "Guaranteed Obligations").

            10.2 Waivers. Vitrocrisa waives notice of the acceptance of this
guaranty and of the extension or continuation of the Guaranteed Obligations or
any part thereof. Vitrocrisa further waives presentment, protest, notice of
notices delivered or demand made on Comercial or action or delinquency in
respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, including any right
to require the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Lenders to
sue Comercial, any other guarantor or any other Person obligated with respect
to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or otherwise to enforce
payment thereof against any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or
any part thereof; provided, that if at any time any payment of any portion of
the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or
returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Comercial or
otherwise, Vitrocrisa's obligations hereunder with respect to such payment
shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had not been made and
whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the Lenders
are in possession of this guaranty. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders
shall have no obligation to disclose or discuss with Vitrocrisa their
assessments of the financial condition of Comercial.

            Vitrocrisa hereby expressly waives any right, beneficio de orden,
division and excusion and any of the rights provided for in Articles 2813,
2814, 2815, 2816, 2817, 2818, 2820, 2821, 2822, 2823, 2836, 2840, 2842, 2844,
2845, 2846, 2847, 2848, 2849 et al of the Federal Civil Code and the
corresponding provisions of the Civil Code for the Federal District of Mexico,
and the Civil Codes for all of the States of Mexico, which are not reproduced
herein inasmuch as Vitrocrisa hereby represents to be familiar with the
contents thereof, as well as all other rights and defenses the assertion or
exercise of which would in any way diminish the liability of Vitrocrisa
hereunder.

            10.3 Guaranty Absolute. This guaranty is a guaranty of payment and
not of collection, is a primary obligation of Vitrocrisa and not merely one of
surety, and the validity and enforceability of this guaranty shall be absolute
and unconditional irrespective of, and shall not be impaired or affected by
any of the following: (a) any extension, modification or renewal of, or
indulgence with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations
or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto at any time; (b) any
failure or omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the
Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto,
or any collateral; (c) any waiver of any right, power or remedy with respect
to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating
thereto or with respect to any collateral; (d) any release, surrender,
compromise, settlement, waiver,



                                      62
<PAGE>


subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any
collateral, or any other guaranties with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations
or any part thereof; (e) the enforceability or validity of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity
of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral; (f) the
application of payments received from any source to the payment of obligations
other than the Guaranteed Obligations, any part thereof or amounts which are
not covered by this guaranty even though the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, and the Lenders might lawfully have elected to apply such
payments to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations or to amounts which
are not covered by this guaranty; (g) any change in the ownership of Comercial
or the insolvency, bankruptcy or any other change in the legal status of
Comercial; (h) the change in or the imposition of any law, decree, regulation
or other governmental act which does or might impair, delay or in any way
affect the validity, enforceability or the payment when due of the Guaranteed
Obligations; (i) the failure of Vitrocrisa or Comercial to maintain in full
force, validity or effect or to obtain or renew when required all governmental
and other approvals, licenses or consents required in connection with the
Guaranteed Obligations or this guaranty, or to take any other action required
in connection with the performance of all obligations pursuant to the
Guaranteed Obligations or this guaranty; (j) the existence of any claim,
setoff or other rights which Vitrocrisa may have at any time against Comercial
or any other Person in connection herewith or an unrelated transaction; or (k)
any other circumstance, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, which
could constitute a defense to a guarantor (other than indefeasible payment in
full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations); all whether or not Vitrocrisa
shall have had notice or knowledge of any act or omission referred to in the
foregoing clauses (a) through (k) of this Section. It is agreed that
Vitrocrisa's liability hereunder is several and independent of any other
guaranties or other obligations at any time in effect with respect to the
Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof and that Vitrocrisa's liability
hereunder may be enforced regardless of the existence, validity, enforcement
or non-enforcement of any such other guaranties or other obligations or any
provision of any applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment
by Comercial of the Guaranteed Obligations in the manner agreed upon by
Comercial and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Lenders.

            10.4 Acceleration. Vitrocrisa agrees that, as between Vitrocrisa
on the one hand, and the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, and the Administrative
Agent, on the other hand, the obligations of Comercial guaranteed under this
Section 10 may be declared to be forthwith due and payable, or may be deemed
automatically to have been accelerated, as provided in Section 9 hereof for
purposes of this Section 10, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other
prohibition (whether in a bankruptcy proceeding affecting Comercial or
otherwise) preventing such declaration as against Comercial and that, in the
event of such declaration or automatic acceleration, such obligations (whether
or not due and payable by Comercial) shall forthwith become due and payable by
Vitrocrisa for purposes of this Section 10.

            10.5 Marshaling; Reinstatement. None of the Lenders nor the
Administrative Agent nor any Person acting for or on behalf of the Lenders,
the Collateral Agent, or the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation to
marshal any assets in favor of Vitrocrisa or against or in payment of any or
all of the Guaranteed Obligations. If Vitrocrisa, Comercial or any other
guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations makes a payment or
payments to any Lender, the Collateral Agent, or the Administrative Agent, or
if any Lender, the Collateral Agent, or the Administrative Agent receives any
proceeds of collateral, which



                                      63
<PAGE>


payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared
to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to
Comercial, Vitrocrisa, such other guarantor or any other Person, or their
respective estates, trustees, receivers or any other party, including, without
limitation, Vitrocrisa, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common
law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, the
part of the Guaranteed Obligations which has been paid, reduced or satisfied
by such amount shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as
of the time immediately preceding such initial payment, reduction or
satisfaction.

            10.6 Waiver of Subrogation and Contribution. Until the Guaranteed
Obligations have been paid in cash indefeasibly in full and the Commitments by
the Lenders to Comercial shall have terminated, Vitrocrisa hereby irrevocably
waives any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against
Comercial or any other Person that arise from the existence, payment,
performance or enforcement of Vitrocrisa's obligations under this guaranty or
any other Transaction Document, including any right of subrogation,
reimbursement, contribution, exoneration, or indemnification, any right to
participate in any claim or remedy of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent, or any Lender against Comercial or any other Person or any collateral
which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender now has or
hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in
equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take
or receive from Comercial or any other Person, directly or indirectly, in cash
or other property or by set-off or in any manner, payment or security on
account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to
Vitrocrisa in violation of the preceding sentence and the Guaranteed
Obligations shall not have been paid in cash indefeasibly in full and the
Commitments shall not have been terminated, such amount shall be deemed to
have been paid to Vitrocrisa for the benefit of, and held in trust for, the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, and shall
forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders to be credited and applied upon the
Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. Vitrocrisa acknowledges
that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing
arrangements contemplated by this Agreement and that the waiver set forth in
this Section is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. If (a)
Vitrocrisa has made payment to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent,
and the Lenders of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations and (b) the
Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments have been
terminated, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Lenders
agree to execute and deliver to Vitrocrisa appropriate documents (without
recourse and without representation and warranty) necessary to evidence the
transfer by subrogation to Vitrocrisa of an interest in the Guaranteed
Obligations resulting from such payment by Vitrocrisa.

            Section 11. The Agents.

            11.1 Appointment of the Agents. The Lenders hereby appoint and
designate Bank of Montreal as Administrative Agent and the Tranche A Lenders
hereby appoint and designate HSBC Bank USA and HSBC Mexico, S.A. as Collateral
Agents, in each case to act in such capacity as specified herein and in the
other Transaction Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, and
each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be deemed
irrevocably to authorize, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agents
to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the
other Transaction



                                      64
<PAGE>


Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or
therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and
thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agents, as the case may be, by the terms hereof and
thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental hereto and thereto.
The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agents may perform any of their
respective duties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents by or
through its officers, directors, agents or employees.

            11.2 Nature of Duties. None of the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agents or the Arranger shall have any duties or responsibilities
except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other
Transaction Documents. None of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agents, the Arranger, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents
or employees, shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it or them
hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or in connection herewith or
therewith, unless resulting solely by its or their gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The duties of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agents
shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; none of the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent nor the Arranger shall have by reason of this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document a fiduciary relationship in
respect of any Lender or the holder of any Note; and nothing in this Agreement
or any other Transaction Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or
shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agents or the Arranger any obligations in respect of this Agreement
or any other Transaction Document except as expressly set forth herein.

            11.3 No Reliance on the Agents. Independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agents or the Arranger, each
Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has
made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the
financial condition and affairs of Comercial, Vitrocrisa, Vitro, Libbey, and
each US Affiliate in connection with the making of its Commitments and the
continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in
connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of
Comercial, Vitrocrisa, Vitro, Libbey, and each US Affiliate and their
respective Affiliates and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement,
none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agents, or the Arranger shall
have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to
provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other
information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before
the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. None of the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agents or the Arranger shall be
responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals,
statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any
document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for
the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability,
perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document or the financial condition of each of Comercial,
Vitrocrisa, Vitro, Libbey, and each US Affiliate and their respective
Affiliates or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the
performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or the financial condition
of each of Comercial, Vitrocrisa, Vitro, Libbey, and each US Affiliate and
their respective Affiliates or the existence or possible existence of any
Default or Event of Default.

            11.4 Certain Rights of the Agents. (a) If the Administrative
Agent, or either Collateral Agent shall request instructions from the Required
Tranche A Lenders, Required Tranche A Revolving Lenders, Required Tranche B
Lenders and/or Supermajority Lenders, as the case may be, with respect to any
act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or
any other Transaction Document, then the Administrative Agent and such
Collateral Agent, respectively, shall be entitled to refrain from such act or
taking such action unless and until it shall have received instructions from
such Lenders, and, in any such event, neither the Administrative Agent nor the
Collateral Agents shall incur liability to any Person by reason of so
refraining. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Lender or the
holder of any Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against the
Administrative Agent or either Collateral Agent as a result of acting or
refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Transaction Document in
accordance with the instructions of the Required Tranche A Lenders, Required
Tranche A Revolving Lenders, Required Tranche B Lenders and/or Supermajority
Lenders, as the case may be.

            (b) If either Collateral Agent shall request instructions from the
Tranche A Lenders with respect to any action (including failure to act) in
connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, then such
Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such
action unless and until it shall have received instructions from the Tranche A
Lenders, and in any such event, such Collateral Agent shall not incur
liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, no Lender or the holder of any Note shall have
any right of action whatsoever against the Collateral Agents as a result of
acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Transaction
Document in accordance with the instructions of the Tranche A Lenders.

            11.5 Reliance by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agents. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agents shall be entitled
to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing,
resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier
message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message
signed, sent or made by any Person that such Agent believed to be the proper
Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement
and any other Transaction Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder,
upon advice of counsel selected by it.

            11.6 Indemnification. To the extent the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agents, the Arranger or any of their respective officers,
directors, agents or employees are not reimbursed and indemnified by Comercial
or Vitrocrisa, the Lenders (or in the case of the Collateral Agents, the
Tranche A Lenders) will reimburse and indemnify each such Person, in
proportion to their outstanding Notes, for and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or
nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by each such
Person, in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Transaction
Document, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any
portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.



                                      66
<PAGE>


            11.7 Capacity as Lenders. With respect to its obligation to make
Loans under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agents
and the Arranger shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a
"Lender" and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not
performing the duties specified herein; and the term "Lenders," "Required
Lenders," "Required Tranche A Lenders," "Required Tranche B Lenders," Required
Tranche A Revolving Lenders," "Supermajority Lenders," "holders of Notes" or
any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates,
include the Administrative Agent and the Arranger in its individual capacity.
The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agents and the Arranger may accept
deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking,
trust or other business with Comercial, Vitrocrisa, Vitro, Libbey or any
Affiliate of Vitrocrisa, Comercial, Vitro, or Libbey as if it were not
performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other
consideration from Comercial, Vitrocrisa, Vitro, Libbey or such Affiliate for
services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to
account for the same to the Lenders.

            11.8 Holders. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agents
may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes
hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or
endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with such
Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of
making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any
Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee,
assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes
issued in exchange therefor.

            11.9 Resignation.

            (a) Bank of Montreal, HSBC Bank USA and/or HSBC Mexico, S.A. may
resign from the performance of their respective duties as Administrative Agent
and Collateral Agent hereunder and/or under the other Transaction Documents at
any time by giving 15 Business Days' prior written notice to Comercial and the
Lenders and the other Agent. Such resignation shall take effect upon the
appointment of a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the
case may be, pursuant to clauses (b), (c) and (d) below or as otherwise
provided below.

            (b) Upon any such notice of resignation, the Lenders shall appoint
a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be,
hereunder or thereunder who shall be an internationally-recognized commercial
bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to Comercial (except that no such
consent shall be necessary during a Default).

            (c) If a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as
the case may be, shall not have been so appointed within such 15 Business Day
period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of Comercial (except that
no such consent shall be necessary during a Default), may then appoint a
successor Administrative Agent, or the Collateral Agents may petition a court
of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Collateral Agent, who shall
serve as such hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders
appoint a successor as provided above.



                                      67
<PAGE>


            (d) If no successor has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or
(c) above by the 20th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation
was given by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may
be, the resignation shall become effective and the Lenders shall thereafter
perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the
case may be, hereunder and/or under any other Transaction Document until such
time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor as provided above.

            11.10 Mexican Income Tax Law.

            (a) Each Lender represents and warrants to Comercial and the
Administrative Agent on the date hereof that it (i) (A) has been registered,
and will use reasonable efforts, subject to overall policy considerations, to
maintain in force such Lender's registration (the "Registration") during the
time such Lender is a party hereto, as a financial institution with the SHCP
for purposes of Article 195(I) of the Mexican Income Tax Law (or successor
provision), and (B) is a resident of a country with which Mexico has entered
into a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation which is in effect in such
country or (ii) is exempt from Mexican withholding taxes (including as a
result of being a development bank).

            (b) Comercial agrees and acknowledges that, despite the reasonable
efforts of the Lenders relying on the representation made in Section
11.10(a)(i), the maintenance of the Registration of a Lender may not be
practicable, and, accordingly, agrees that if, after the exercise of such
reasonable efforts, a Lender is not able to maintain such Registration and any
such inability is not reasonably the fault of such Lender, such Lender shall
try to sell its Loan to a financial institution which meets the requirements
of Section 11.10(a)(i) or (ii), but nevertheless Comercial will continue to
pay Additional Costs when due, to the extent provided in Section 4.4. In the
case of the Lenders making the representations in Section 11.10(a)(i)(B) or
Section 11.10(a)(ii), if a Lender is notified by Comercial or has otherwise
actual knowledge that the applicable double taxation treaty or the applicable
Mexican legislation, as the case may be, ceases to be in effect, such Lender
shall try to sell its Loan to a financial institution which meets the
requirements of Section 11.10(a)(i) or (ii) above, at the cost of Comercial
and at a price satisfactory to that Lender, but nevertheless Comercial agrees
that it shall continue to pay Additional Costs when due, to the extent
provided in Section 4.4. Comercial also agrees and acknowledges that,
notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.10(a), if any Lender (i)
determines (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and
conclusive) that maintenance of its Registration would cause such Lender to
suffer any material legal, regulatory or economic disadvantage, such Lender
shall not be required to maintain such Registration or (ii) ceases to be
resident of a country with which Mexico has a treaty for the avoidance of
double taxation in effect or (iii) ceases to be otherwise exempt from Mexican
withholding taxes, Comercial may, at its option, designate another bank that
meets the requirements of Section 11.10(a)(i) or (ii) to replace such Lender
by purchasing such Lender's outstanding Loans for a purchase price equal to
the outstanding principal amount of the Loans payable to such Lender plus any
accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other accrued unpaid amounts payable to
such Lender under the Transaction Documents; such affected Lender will
consummate such sale in accordance with such terms within a reasonable period
of time not exceeding five (5) Business Days from the date Comercial shall
have designated a replacement lender subject to such Lender's receipt of the
purchase price in immediately available funds and compliance with Section
12.5.

the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present and future stamp and
other similar taxes with respect to the foregoing matters and save and hold
each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities with
respect to or resulting from any delay or omission (other than to the extent
attributable to such Lender) to pay such taxes; and (iii) indemnify the
Administrative Agent, the Arranger and each Lender, and their respective
officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (each an
"indemnified person") from and hold each of them harmless against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements incurred by any of them as
a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of, any
investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not the indemnified
person is a party thereto) related to the entering into and/or performance of
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the use of the proceeds of
any Loans hereunder or the consummation of any transactions contemplated
herein or in any other Transaction Document, including, without limitation,
the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with
any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding (but excluding any such
liabilities, obligations, losses, etc., to the extent incurred solely by
reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be
indemnified). Each of Comercial and Vitrocrisa hereby waives and releases each
Lender, the Arranger and the Administrative Agent from, and agrees not to
pursue against them, any claim for consequential, special or punitive damages.

            12.2 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter
granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any
such rights, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time
or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of
any kind to Comercial, Vitrocrisa or to any other Person, any such notice
being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and
all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held
or owing by such Lender (including without limitation by branches and agencies
of such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of
Comercial or Vitrocrisa against and on account of the Obligations and
liabilities of Comercial to such Lender, the Collateral Agent or the
Administrative Agent under this


                                      69
<PAGE>


Agreement or under any of the other Transaction Documents, including, without
limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to
Section 12.7(b), and all other claims of any nature or description arising out
of or connected with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender, the Collateral Agent or the
Administrative Agent shall have made any demand hereunder and although said
Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or
unmatured.

            12.3 Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all
notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing
(including facsimile communication) and sent by facsimile, private express

and, as to each other party, at such other address as shall be designated by
such party in a written notice to Comercial, the Collateral Agent and the
Administrative Agent. All such notices and communications shall, when sent by
facsimile or private express courier, be effective when sent by facsimile, or
delivered to such private express courier, as the case may be, in each case
confirmed by telephone, except that notices and communications to the
Administrative Agent or to the Collateral Agent shall not be effective until
received by such Agent.

            12.4 Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors
and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, that neither Comercial nor
Vitrocrisa may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders.

            12.5 Syndication or Assignment of Loans.

            (a) Each Lender may at any time, (i) grant participations in the
Loans made hereunder (provided, that the Person purchasing any such
participation shall have voting rights only in respect of those issues set
forth in the first proviso to Section 12.14) or (ii) transfer or assign
pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement substantially in the form
of Exhibit F hereto (each a "Lender Assignment Agreement"), any of its rights
hereunder or under any of the Notes; provided, however, that any such transfer
or assignment by a Lender pursuant to this clause (ii) to any lending
institution other than one of the other Lenders or any Affiliate of any Lender
of a portion of its rights hereunder or under any Note shall (w) be for an
amount not less than U.S.$1,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of
U.S.$1,000,000 in each instance, (x) be made only upon the making by any such
lending institution of the representations and warranties contained in Section
11.10 hereof, (y) be subject to the prior consent of Comercial (except upon
Default) and the Administrative Agent (which consent by Comercial (if
required) or by the Administrative Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned), and (z) be effective only upon payment by the
assignee or assignor to the Administrative Agent of an


                                      70
<PAGE>


administrative processing fee of U.S.$3,500. If any Lender transfers or
assigns all or a part of its rights and obligations hereunder or under the
Notes to any other financial institution, such financial institution shall be
a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have
been transferred or assigned to it, shall have the rights and obligations of a
Lender hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, and this Agreement
shall be deemed to be amended to the extent necessary to reflect the transfer
and assignment of such rights and obligations and the addition of such
financial institution, and any reference to the transferring or assigning
Lender in this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the Note of such
Lender shall thereafter refer to such Lender and to such other financial
institution to the extent of their respective interests.

            (b) Not later than five Business Days after the receipt of a
notice from the Administrative Agent that a Lender has assigned all or a
portion of its Loans hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof,
Comercial, Vitrocrisa and Vitro, as applicable, will, at their expense,
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent new Notes prepared in
conformity herewith evidencing the assigned Loans and, if the assigning Lender
has retained a portion of its Loans, replacement Notes in the principal amount
of the Loans retained by the assigning Lender; provided, however, that the
Administrative Agent shall have notified Comercial that it has possession of
the assigning Lender's Note or Notes for exchange and that it will deliver to
Comercial such Note or Notes upon receipt of the new Notes referred to above.

            12.6 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the
part of any of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the holder of any
Note in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other
Transaction Document and no course of dealing between (a) Comercial or
Vitrocrisa, on the one hand and (b) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent or any Lender or the holder of any Note, on the other hand, shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Transaction Document
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and
remedies herein or in any other Transaction Document expressly provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which any of
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender or the holder of
any Note would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on Comercial or
Vitrocrisa or any other Person in any case shall entitle Comercial or
Vitrocrisa or any other Person to any other or further notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any of
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender or the holder of
any Note to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or
demand.

            12.7 Payments Pro Rata.

            (a) The Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its
receipt of any payment (other than payments pursuant to Section 3) from or on
behalf of Comercial in respect of any Obligations of Comercial hereunder, it
shall distribute such payment to the Lenders pro rata based upon their
respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such
payment was received.



                                      71
<PAGE>


            (b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any
amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security,
by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker's lien, by counterclaim or
cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Transaction Documents,
or otherwise), which can or may be applicable to the payment of the principal
of, or interest on, the Loans or any Fee related thereto, of a sum which with
respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater
proportion than the total amount of the relevant Obligation then owed and due
to such Lender bears to the total amount of such Obligation then owed and due
to all the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender
receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or
warranty from the other Lenders having an interest in the related Obligations
of Comercial to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional
participation by all the Lenders having an interest in the related Obligations
in such amount; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess
amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be
rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but
without interest. It is understood and agreed that nothing herein contained
shall require a Lender who does not have an interest in Tranche A Loans to
purchase a participation in a Tranche A Loan or a Fee related thereto or a
Lender who does not have an interest in Tranche B Loans to purchase a
participation in a Tranche B Loan or a Fee related thereto. Comercial and
Vitrocrisa agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another
Lender pursuant to this Section 12.7 may, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with
respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct
creditor of Comercial in the amount of such participation.

            12.8 Calculations; Computations.

            (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders
pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP.

            (b) All computations of interest for LIBOR Loans and Fees
hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual
number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring
in the period for which such interest or Fees are payable. All computations of
interest for Base Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of the actual number
of days in the applicable year and actual days elapsed.

            12.9 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue.

            (a) This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the
rights and obligations of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be
construed in accordance with and be governed by the law of the State of New
York without giving effect to the principles thereof relating to conflicts of
law (except Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law), except as
is otherwise specifically provided in such Transaction Document. Any legal
action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document may be brought in the courts of the State of New York sitting in the
City and the County of New York or of the United States for the Southern
District of New York or of the courts of the corporate domicile of a party
hereto in an action brought against it as a defendant, and, by execution and
delivery of this Agreement, each party hereby irrevocably accepts for itself
and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the
jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each of Comercial and


                                      72
<PAGE>


Vitrocrisa hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers the Process
Agent, as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge
for and on its behalf, and in respect of its property, service of any and all
legal process, summons, notices and documents which may be served in any
action or proceeding. If for any reason such designee, appointee and agent
shall cease to be available to act as such, Comercial or Vitrocrisa, as the
case may be, agrees to designate a new designee, appointee and agent in New
York City on the terms and for the purposes of this provision satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent; each such appointment shall be contained in a
notarial instrument. Each of Comercial and Vitrocrisa further irrevocably
consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in
any such action or proceeding by personal delivery of certified copies thereof
to Comercial or Vitrocrisa, as applicable, at the address set forth opposite
its signature below. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the holder of any Note to serve process in
any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or
otherwise proceed against Comercial or Vitrocrisa in any other jurisdiction.

            (b) Each of Comercial, Vitrocrisa, the Lenders and the Agents
hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to
the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out
of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document
brought in the courts referred to in clause (a) above and hereby further
irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any
such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an
inconvenient forum.

            (c) Each of Comercial and Vitrocrisa agrees, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, that in any legal action or proceeding arising
out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document
(the "Proceedings") anywhere (whether for an injunction, specific performance,
damages or otherwise), no immunity (to the extent that it may at any time
exist) from those Proceedings, from attachment (whether in aid of execution,
before judgment or otherwise), or from judgment shall be claimed by it or on
its behalf or with respect to its assets. Each of Comercial and Vitrocrisa
agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that it is and its assets
are, and shall be, subject to such Proceedings, attachment or execution in
respect of its obligations under this Agreement and each other Transaction
Document to which it is party.

            12.10 Obligation to Make Payments in Dollars. The obligation of
Comercial and Vitrocrisa to make payment in Dollars of the principal of and
interest on the Notes and any other amounts due hereunder or under any other
Transaction Document to the Payment Office of the Administrative Agent as
provided in Section 4.3 shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or
any recovery pursuant to any judgment, which is expressed in or converted into
any currency other than Dollars, except to the extent such tender or recovery
shall result in the actual receipt by the Administrative Agent at its Payment
Office on behalf of the Lenders or holders of the Notes of the full amount of
Dollars expressed to be payable in respect of the principal of and interest on
the Notes and all other amounts due hereunder or under any other Transaction
Document. The obligation of Comercial and Vitrocrisa to make payments in
Dollars as aforesaid shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional
cause of action for the purpose of recovery in Dollars of the amount, if any,
by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of Dollars
expressed to be payable in respect of the principal of and interest on the
Notes and any other amounts due under any other Transaction Document, and
shall not be affected by judgment



                                      73

being obtained for any other sums due under this Agreement or under any other
Transaction Document.

            12.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts (including via facsimile) and by the different parties hereto
on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall
be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same
instrument.

            12.12 Intercreditor Provisions. Each Tranche B Lender hereby
acknowledges and agrees that (a) it has received a copy of, and is familiar
with, and understands the contents of, this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents, (b) this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
contain provisions governing the application of payments with respect to the
Obligations that differentiate between the Obligations arising out of or
relating to the Tranche A Loans and the Obligations arising out of or relating
to the Tranche B Loans, and (c) the Obligations arising out of or relating to
the Tranche A Loans will be secured by the collateral purported to be granted
by the Collateral Documents and will have priority of payment with respect to
such collateral and the proceeds thereof whereas the Obligations arising out
of or relating to the Tranche B Loans will be unsecured and such Tranche B
Lender shall have no right or claim to any such collateral or the proceeds
thereof. Each Tranche B Lender further agrees (i) that it will not take any
action to challenge or otherwise contest the validity, perfection, priority or
enforceability of the Liens created by the Collateral Documents or the
priority of payment provisions contained in the Credit Agreement or any of the
other Transaction Documents, (ii) to cooperate in the defense of any action
contesting the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of such Liens
or the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any of the other
Transaction Documents, and (iii) that without such Tranche B Lender's consent,
the Collateral Agent may exercise any remedies available to it with respect to
the Liens created by the Collateral Documents or any of the other Transaction
Documents.

            12.13 Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several sections
and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall
not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this

Administrative Agent; provided, however, that no such change, waiver,
discharge or termination shall, without the prior written consent of each

Lender), (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 12.14, of

pursuant to Section 8.1(f) increase the amount of the Indebtedness secured
thereby except to the extent provided in the Collateral Documents as in effect
on the Closing Date or as amended with the consent of all the Lenders; and
further provided, that no such change or waiver affecting the rights or duties
of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may be made without the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or of the Collateral Agent,
respectively. Neither this Agreement nor any other Transaction Document nor
