          (a) Notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of recognition, creation, grant,
attachment or perfection (including, without limitation, the order of filing or recordation of any
mortgage, financing statement or other document or notice in any jurisdiction or under any

of any Liens securing the Second Priority Obligations granted on the Collateral and notwithstanding
any provision of the UCC, other laws of the United States or the laws of Mexico or any other
Requirement of Law and notwithstanding any provision of the First Priority Documents or the Second
Priority Documents or any defect or deficiencies in, or failure to

- 10 -

 

perfect, the Liens securing the First Priority Obligations or any other circumstance
whatsoever (including whether or not any Liens securing any First Priority Obligations are
subordinated to any Lien securing any other obligation of the Company, any other Grantor or any
other Person), each of the Second Priority Indenture Trustee and the Second Priority Collateral
Trustee, each on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Claimholders, hereby agree that:

          (b) any Lien now or hereafter held by or on behalf of or purportedly granted to the First
Priority Collateral Trustee, any First Priority Claimholders or any agent or trustee therefor,
regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or
otherwise (including any Lien permitted by Section 2.4 hereof), on the Collateral to secure any
First Priority Obligations, shall at all times and under all circumstances and in all respects be
senior in priority, operation and effect, to any Lien now or hereafter existing, arising or
purportedly granted on the Collateral to secure any Second Priority Obligations;

          (c) any Lien now or hereafter held by or on behalf of or purportedly granted to the Second
Priority Collateral Trustee, any Second Priority Claimholders or any agent or trustee therefor
regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or
otherwise (including any Lien permitted by Section 2.4 hereof), on the Collateral to secure any
Second Priority Obligations shall under all circumstances and in all respects be subject to and
subordinate and junior in priority, operation and effect to any Lien now or hereafter existing,
arising or purportedly granted on the Collateral to secure any First Priority Obligations; and

          (d) any enforcement of the Liens securing the Second Priority Obligations and any payments of
the Second Priority Obligations from the Collateral (other than Excluded Payments) shall be subject
to the prior payment in full of the First Priority Obligations, and the proceeds of any Collateral
shall be applied to indefeasibly pay all First Priority Obligations until the Discharge of First
Priority Obligations has occurred, and no proceeds shall be applied to any Second Priority
Obligations until the Discharge of First Priority Obligations has occurred.

     2.2 Priorities Unaffected. The Lien priorities provided or contemplated in Section
2.1 hereof shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any Refinancing of either the First
Priority Obligations or Second Priority Obligations. Indebtedness resulting from any Permitted
Refinancing shall be governed by the terms hereof in the same manner and to the same extent as the
Indebtedness that was Refinanced, as further described in Section 5.3 hereof. The Lien priorities
provided or contemplated in Section 2.1 hereof shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any
action or inaction which any of the First Priority Collateral Trustee or the other First Priority
Claimholders or the Second Priority Collateral Trustee or the other Second Priority Claimholders
may take or fail to take in respect of the Collateral.

     2.3 Prohibition on Contesting Liens. The Second Priority Indenture Trustee, the
Second Priority Collateral Trustee, and each other Second Priority Claimholder will not (and hereby
waive any right, privilege and power to) directly or indirectly contest or support any other Person
in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the
perfection, priority, validity or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of or purportedly
granted to or for the benefit of any of the First Priority Collateral Trustee or the other First
Priority Claimholders in the First Priority Collateral, or the provisions of this Agreement. The

- 11 -

 

terms of this Agreement shall govern even if part or all of the First Priority Obligations or
the Liens securing payment and performance thereof are not perfected or are avoided, disallowed,
set aside, recharacterized or otherwise invalidated in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding).

     2.4 No Additional Collateral. Whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding
has been commenced by or against the Company or any other Grantor, the parties hereto agree that
neither the Company nor any other Grantor shall: (a) grant or permit, nor shall any Second
Priority Claimholder acquire, any additional Liens on any asset or Property to secure any Second
Priority Obligation unless a senior perfected Lien on such asset or Property has been or is
concurrently created and perfected to secure the First Priority Obligations; or (b) grant or
permit, nor shall any First Priority Claimholder acquire, any additional Liens on any asset or
Property to secure any First Priority Obligation unless (i) a Lien on such asset or Property has
been or is concurrently created and perfected to secure the Second Priority Obligations or (ii)
such Lien is granted as Adequate Protection or similar relief in connection with any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding or in connection with the exercise of rights or remedies of any of the First
Priority Claimholders under the First Priority Documents. To the extent that the foregoing
provisions are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other rights, privileges,
powers, and remedies hereunder, each of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee and the Second
Priority Indenture Trustee, each for itself and on behalf of Second Priority Claimholders, agrees
that any amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result of Liens
granted in contravention of this Section 2.4 shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement,
including Section 4.2 hereof, and any Lien held by the Second Priority Collateral Trustee or any
other Second Priority Claimholder on Collateral on which the First Priority Collateral Trustee does
not have a Lien, in contravention of the provisions of this Agreement, shall be subject to the
terms of this Agreement and shall be held by the Second Priority Collateral Trustee or such other
Second Priority Claimholder in trust for the First Priority Collateral Trustee and the First
Priority Claimholders and/or, at the option of the First Priority Collateral Trustee, be released
or assigned to the First Priority Collateral Trustee and the First Priority Claimholders as
security for the First Priority Obligations.

     2.5 Similar Liens and Agreements. In furtherance of Section 2.4 and of Section 8.10,
the parties hereto agree, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement:

          (a) upon request by the First Priority Collateral Trustee or the Second Priority Collateral
Trustee, to cooperate in good faith (and to direct their counsel to cooperate in good faith) from
time to time in order to determine the specific items included in the First Priority Collateral and
the Second Priority Collateral and the steps taken to perfect their respective Liens thereon; and

          (b) that the First Priority Security Documents and the Second Priority Security Documents
shall be in all material respects the same forms of documents other than with respect to the first
lien and the second lien nature of the obligations thereunder.

     2.6 Effect as Subordination Agreement. This Agreement shall take effect and
constitute and is intended to be enforceable as a subordination agreement under Section 510 (a) of
the Bankruptcy Code and any other comparable laws.

SECTION 3 Enforcement.

     3.1 Exercise of Remedies.

          (a) Until the Discharge of First Priority Obligations has occurred, whether or not any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Company or any other
Grantor, the Second Priority Indenture Trustee and the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, each for
itself and the Second Priority Claimholders:

          (i) will not (and hereby waive any right, privilege or power to), directly or
indirectly, exercise or seek to exercise any rights, privileges, powers or remedies with
respect to or against any Collateral (including the exercise of any right, privilege or
power of setoff or any right, privilege or power under any lockbox agreement, account
control agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement to
which the Second Priority Trustee, the Second Priority Collateral Trustee or any Second
Priority Claimholder is a party) or institute any action or proceeding with respect to such
rights, privileges, powers or remedies (including any action of foreclosure);

          (ii) will not (and hereby waive any right, privilege, or power to), directly or
indirectly, contest, interfere with, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or any
other action or proceeding brought by the First Priority Collateral Trustee or any First
Priority Claimholder or any other exercise by the First Priority Collateral Trustee or any
First Priority Claimholder of any rights, privileges, powers, or remedies relating to the
Collateral under the First Priority Documents or otherwise; and

          (iii) will not (and hereby waive any right, privilege or power to), directly or
indirectly, object to the forbearance by the First Priority Collateral Trustee or the First
Priority Claimholders from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any
other exercise of any rights, privileges, powers or remedies relating to the Collateral;

provided, that, in the case of (i), (ii) and (iii) above, the Liens granted to secure the Second
Priority Obligations of the Second Priority Claimholders shall attach to any proceeds resulting
from actions taken by the First Priority Collateral Trustee or any First Priority Claimholder in
accordance with this Agreement after application of such proceeds to the extent necessary to meet
the requirements of a Discharge of First Priority Obligations.

          (b) Until the Discharge of First Priority Obligations has occurred, whether or not any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Company or any other
Grantor, the First Priority Collateral Trustee and the other First Priority Claimholders shall have
the sole and exclusive right, privilege and power to enforce rights, exercise all rights,
privileges, powers, and remedies (including set-off and the right to take or retake control or
possession of such Collateral and to hold, prepare for sale, process, sell, lease, dispose of, or
liquidate such Collateral or the right to credit bid their debt) and make determinations regarding
the release, Disposition, treatment, or control of the Collateral without any consultation with
(other than any prior notice required by applicable law) or the consent of

- 13 -

 

the Second Priority Collateral Trustee or any other Second Priority Claimholder; provided,
that the Lien securing the Second Priority Obligations shall attach to the proceeds of such
Collateral released or Disposed of subject to the relative priorities described herein. In
exercising rights, privileges, powers or remedies, each of the Second Priority Indenture Trustee
and the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, each on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority
Claimholders, agrees (and waives the right, privilege or power to contest) that the First Priority
Collateral Trustee and the other First Priority Claimholders may enforce the provisions of the
First Priority Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as
they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall
include the rights, privileges and powers of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise
dispose of Collateral upon foreclosure or any other similar judicial or legal process, to incur
expenses in connection with such sale or Disposition, and to exercise all the rights, privileges,
powers, and remedies of a secured creditor under any applicable law, treaty, rule, regulation, or
determination of an arbitrator or a court or other Governmental Authority, including the UCC, other
laws of the United States, the laws of Mexico, and the Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable
jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, neither the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, the
Second Priority Indenture Trustee nor the other Second Priority Claimholders shall have any right,
privilege or power to direct the First Priority Collateral Trustee, the First Priority Indenture
Trustee or other First Priority Claimholders to exercise any rights, privileges, powers, or
remedies with respect to the Collateral.

          (c) The Second Priority Collateral Trustee and the other Second Priority Claimholders shall
execute and deliver, and perform their respective obligations under the Common Representative
Agreement and shall not directly or indirectly take any action that is inconsistent with or
contrary to Articles 4, 5, and 6 of the Common Representative Agreement. The rights, privileges,
powers, and remedies of the parties herein are supplemental of, and in no event shall limit the
Common Representative Agreement.

          (d) The Second Priority Collateral Trustee and the other Second Priority Claimholders will not
take or receive any Collateral or any proceeds of Collateral in connection with the exercise of any
right, privilege, power or remedy (including set-off) with respect to any Collateral in violation
of this Agreement.

          (e) Each of the Second Priority Indenture Trustee and the Second Priority Collateral Trustee,
each for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Claimholders, agree that:

          (i) the Second Priority Indenture Trustee, the Second Priority Collateral Trustee and
the other Second Priority Claimholders will not directly or indirectly request judicial
relief in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or in any other court that would hinder,
delay, limit or prohibit the lawful exercise or enforcement of any right, privilege, power
or remedy otherwise available to the First Priority Collateral Trustee, the First Priority
Indenture Trustee or the other First Priority Claimholders in respect of the Collateral
(including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other Disposition of the Collateral,
whether by foreclosure or otherwise), or that would limit, invalidate, avoid or set aside
any Liens securing the First Priority Obligations or subordinate any Lien securing the First
Priority Obligations to any Lien securing the

- 14 -

 

Second Priority Obligations, or that would grant any Liens securing the Second Priority
Obligations in equal or prior ranking to any Liens securing the First Priority Obligations;

          (ii) no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the Second Priority Security
Documents or any other Second Priority Document (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed
to restrict in any way the rights, privileges, powers, and remedies of the First Priority
Collateral Trustee or the other First Priority Claimholders with respect to the Collateral
as set forth in this Agreement and the First Priority Documents.

          (f) Each of the Second Priority Indenture Trustee and the Second Priority Collateral Trustee,
each for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Claimholders, hereby waives:

          (i) any and all rights, privileges, powers and remedy each or the other Second Priority
Claimholders may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in
which the First Priority Collateral Trustee, the First Priority Indenture Trustee or the
other First Priority Claimholders seek to enforce or collect the First Priority Obligations
or the Liens securing the First Priority Obligations granted in any of the First Priority
Collateral undertaken in accordance with this Agreement, regardless of whether any action or
failure to act by or on behalf of the First Priority Collateral Trustee, the First Priority
Indenture Trustee or the other First Priority Claimholders is adverse to the interest of the
Second Priority Collateral Trustee, the Second Priority Indenture Trustee or the other
Second Priority Claimholders; and

          (ii) any claim any of them may have against the First Priority Collateral Trustee or
the other First Priority Claimholders or their representatives, based on actions taken or
inactions with respect to the Collateral that are not otherwise in violation of the terms of
this Agreement.

          (g) Nothing in this Agreement or the Second Priority Documents impairs or otherwise adversely
affects any rights, privileges, powers or remedies the First Priority Collateral Trustee or the
other First Priority Claimholders may have with respect to the First Priority Collateral.

SECTION 4 Payments.

     4.1 Application of Proceeds. So long as the Discharge of First Priority Obligations
has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or
against the Company or any other Grantor, all Collateral or proceeds thereof received in connection
with the sale or other Disposition of, or collection on, such Collateral or upon the exercise of
remedies by the First Priority Collateral Trustee or the other First Priority Claimholders, shall
first be applied by the First Priority Collateral Trustee to the First Priority Obligations in such
order as specified in the relevant First Priority Documents. Following the Discharge of First
Priority Obligations, the First Priority Collateral Trustee shall deliver any remaining Collateral
and proceeds of Collateral, including but not limited to any stock held by the First Priority
Collateral Trustee pursuant to any pledge, held by it in the same form as

- 15 -

 

received, with any necessary endorsements, to the Second Priority Collateral Trustee to be
applied by the Second Priority Collateral Trustee to the Second Priority Obligations in such order
as specified in the Second Priority Security Documents or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to
receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

     4.2 Payments in Violation of Agreement. So long as the Discharge of First Priority
Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been
commenced by or against the Company or any other Grantor, any payments, or Collateral or proceeds
thereof (including assets or proceeds subject to Liens referred to in the final sentence of Section
2.4) received by the Second Priority Collateral Trustee or any of the Second Priority Claimholders
in contravention of this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to
the First Priority Collateral Trustee for the benefit of itself and the other First Priority
Claimholders in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable until the Discharge of First Priority Obligations.

     4.3 Payments by Company. The Company agrees that it will not, and will not permit any
of its Subsidiaries to, in connection with the sale or other Disposition of, or collection on, the
Collateral upon the exercise of remedies by the Second Priority Collateral Trustee or any other
Second Priority Claimholder, transfer, deliver or pay, as applicable, to the Second Priority
Collateral Trustee or any other Second Priority Claimholder, the Collateral or any proceeds of
Collateral, unless and until a Discharge of First Priority Obligations has occurred.

SECTION 5 Other Agreements.

     5.1 Releases.

          (a) If, in connection with the exercise of any of the rights or remedies of any of the First
Priority Claimholders in respect of the Collateral provided for in any of the First Priority
Documents or the sale of the Collateral by any of the First Priority Claimholders in accordance
with any of the First Priority Documents, the First Priority Collateral Trustee, for itself or on
behalf of any of the other First Priority Claimholders, releases any of its Liens on any part of
the Collateral or releases any Grantor from its obligations under its guaranty of the First
Priority Obligations in connection with the public or private sale of the stock or substantially
all the assets of such Grantor or upon the foreclosure or sale of any of the Collateral by any of
the First Priority Claimholders in accordance with any of the First Priority Documents, then the
Liens, if any, of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, for itself or for the benefit of the
other Second Priority Claimholders, on such Collateral, or the obligations of such Grantor under
its guaranty of the Second Priority Obligations, shall be automatically, unconditionally and
simultaneously released, so long as any proceeds from such sale or exercise of rights or remedies
are applied in accordance with Section 4.1 hereof. The Second Priority Collateral Trustee, for
itself and on behalf of any such other Second Priority Claimholders, promptly shall execute and
deliver to the First Priority Collateral Trustee or such Grantor such termination statements,
releases and other documents provided to it as the First Priority Collateral Trustee or such
Grantor may reasonably request in writing to effectively confirm such release (and the Second
Priority Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on such written request).

- 16 -

 

          (b) If, in connection with any Disposition of any Collateral following the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than in connection with the exercise of the
First Priority Collateral Trustee’s remedies in respect of the Collateral provided for in any of
the First Priority Security Documents), the First Priority Collateral Trustee, for itself or on
behalf of any of the other First Priority Claimholders, releases any of its Liens on any part of
the Collateral, or releases any Grantor from its obligations under its guaranty of the First
Priority Obligations in connection with the public or private sale of the stock, or substantially
all the assets, of such Grantor, in each case other than upon the occurrence of the Discharge of
First Priority Obligations, then the Liens, if any, of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, for
itself or for the benefit of the other Second Priority Claimholders, on such Collateral, and the
obligations of such Grantor under its guaranty of the Second Priority Obligations, shall be
automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released, so long as the proceeds from such
Disposition are applied in accordance with Section 4.1 hereof. The Second Priority Collateral
Trustee, for itself and on behalf of any such other Second Priority Claimholders, promptly shall
execute and deliver to the First Priority Collateral Trustee or such Grantor such termination
statements, releases and other documents provided to it as the First Priority Collateral Trustee or
such Grantor may request in writing to effectively confirm such release (and the Second Priority
Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on such written request).

          (c) Without limiting the foregoing, Liens shall also be released as provided in the Common
Representative Agreement.

     5.2 Insurance. Unless and until the Discharge of First Priority Obligations has
occurred, all proceeds of any such policy and any award (or any payments with respect to a deed in
lieu of condemnation) in respect to the Collateral shall be paid to the First Priority Collateral
Trustee for the benefit of itself and the other First Priority Claimholders pursuant to the terms
of the First Priority Documents, and thereafter, to the extent that the Discharge of the First
Priority Obligations has occurred, to the Second Priority Collateral Trustee for the benefit of
itself and the other Second Priority Claimholders and then, to the extent no Second Priority
Obligations are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property or such other Person as may be
entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Until the Discharge
of First Priority Obligations has occurred, if the Second Priority Collateral Trustee or any other
Second Priority Claimholders shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy
or any such award or payment in contravention of this Agreement, it shall segregate and hold in
trust and forthwith pay such proceeds over to the First Priority Collateral Trustee in accordance
with the terms of Section 4.2.

     5.3 Amendments to First Priority Documents and Second Priority Documents.

          (a) The First Priority Documents (excluding this Agreement and the Common Representative
Agreement) may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms, and
the First Priority Obligations may be Refinanced, in each case, without the consent of the Second
Priority Collateral Trustee or the other Second Priority Claimholders, all without affecting the
lien subordination or other provisions of this Agreement or the Common Representative Agreement;
provided, however, that the holders of any such Refinancing debt (acting directly or by an
administrative agent, collateral trustee or authorized representative) bind themselves in a writing
addressed to the Second Priority Collateral Trustee and the other Second

- 17 -

 

Priority Claimholders to the terms of this Agreement and the Common Representative Agreement
and provided further that:

          (i) the Indebtedness resulting from such amendment, supplement, modification or
Refinancing, together with any First Priority Obligations outstanding after such amendment,
supplement, modification or Refinancing, is in an aggregate principal amount not greater
than the principal amount of First Priority Obligations outstanding immediately prior to
such amendment, supplement, modification or Refinancing;

          (ii) the Indebtedness resulting from such amendment, supplement, modification or
Refinancing, together with any First Priority Obligations outstanding after such amendment,
supplement, modification or Refinancing, shall not have a shorter Average Life as compared
with the First Priority Obligations immediately prior to such amendment, supplement,
modification or Refinancing;

          (iii) the interest rate on the Indebtedness resulting from such amendment, supplement,
modification or Refinancing shall not be greater than the interest rate on the First
Priority Obligations immediately prior to the amendment, supplement, modification or
Refinancing, unless any greater interest rate is commercially reasonable for the Company at
the time of such Refinancing;

          (iv) the cash interest payment terms on the Indebtedness resulting from such amendment,
supplement, modification or Refinancing shall not be more favorable to the holders of the
Indebtedness resulting from such amendment, supplement, modification or Refinancing than the
cash interest payment terms immediately prior to such amendment, supplement, modification or
Refinancing unless any more favorable cash interest payment terms are commercially
reasonable for the Company at the time of such Refinancing;

          (v) the Indebtedness resulting from such amendment, supplement, modification or
Refinancing is entitled to the same benefits, waivers, and priority, and subject to the same
burdens (including without limitation all terms and provisions of this Agreement), as the
First Priority Obligations immediately prior to such amendment, supplement, modification or
Refinancing; and

          (vi) no amendment, supplement, modification or Refinancing may be entered into if such
amendment, supplement, modification or Refinancing (x) contravene the provisions of this
Agreement or (y) would reduce, limit or otherwise impair the amount of Excess Cash Flow, if
any, otherwise payable on account of the Second Priority Securities under Section 3.2(d) of
the Second Priority Indenture.

          (b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.5 hereof, the Second Priority Documents
(excluding this Agreement and the Common Representative Agreement) may be amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified in accordance with their terms, and the Second Priority Obligations may be
Refinanced, in each case, without the consent of the First Priority Collateral Trustee or the other
First Priority Claimholders, all without affecting the lien

- 18 -

 

subordination or other provisions of this Agreement or the Common Representative Agreement;
provided, however, that the holders of any such Refinancing debt (acting directly or by an
administrative agent, collateral trustee or authorized representative) bind themselves in a writing
addressed to the First Priority Collateral Trustee and the other First Priority Claimholders to the
terms of this Agreement and the Common Representative Agreement and provided further that:

          (i) the Indebtedness resulting from such amendment, supplement, modification or
Refinancing, together with any Second Priority Obligations outstanding after such
Refinancing, is in an aggregate principal amount not greater than the principal amount of
the Second Priority Obligations outstanding immediately prior to such amendment, supplement,
modification or Refinancing;

          (ii) the Indebtedness resulting from such amendment, supplement, modification or
Refinancing, together with any Second Priority Obligations outstanding after such
Refinancing, shall not have a shorter Average Life as compared with the Second Priority
Obligations immediately prior to such amendment, supplement, modification or Refinancing;

          (iii) the interest rate on the Indebtedness resulting from such amendment, supplement,
modification or Refinancing shall not be greater than the interest rate on the Second
Priority Obligations immediately prior to the amendment, supplement, modification or
Refinancing, unless any greater interest rate is commercially reasonable for the Company at
the time of such Refinancing;

          (iv) the cash interest payment terms on the Indebtedness resulting from such amendment,
supplement, modification or Refinancing shall not be more favorable to the holders of the
Indebtedness resulting from such amendment, supplement, modification or Refinancing than the
cash interest payment terms immediately prior to such amendment, supplement, modification or
Refinancing, unless any more favorable cash interest payment terms are commercially
reasonable for the Company at the time of such Refinancing;

          (v) the Indebtedness resulting from such amendment, supplement, modification or
Refinancing is entitled to the same benefits, waivers, and priority, and subject to the same
burdens (including without imitation all terms and provisions of this Agreement), as the
Second Priority Obligations immediately prior to such amendment, supplement, modification or
Refinancing; and

          (vi) no amendment, supplement, modification or Refinancing may be entered into if such
amendment, supplement, modification or Refinancing (x) contravenes the provisions of this
Agreement, or (y) would reduce, limit or otherwise impair the amount of Excess Cash Flow
otherwise payable on account of the First Priority Securities under Section 3.2(d) of the
First Priority Indenture.

          (c) The parties hereto agree that, until the occurrence of the Discharge of the First Priority
Obligations, each Second Priority Security Document shall include the following language (or
language to similar effect approved by the First Priority Collateral Trustee):

- 19 -

 

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest
granted to the [Second Priority Collateral Trustee, the Second Priority Indenture
Trustee and any other Second Priority Claimholders] pursuant to this Agreement and
the exercise of any right, privilege, power or remedy by the [Second Priority
Collateral Trustee, the Second Priority Indenture Trustee and any other Second
Priority Claimholders] hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor
Agreement, dated as of November 29, 2006 (as amended, restated, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among
Satélites Mexicanos, S.A. de C.V., [HSBC Bank USA, National Association], as First
Priority Collateral Trustee and [Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.], as Second Priority
Collateral Trustee and certain other persons party thereto or that may become party
thereto from time to time. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement
shall govern and control as between the First Priority Collateral Trustee, the First
Priority Indenture Trustee and any other First Priority Claimholders and the [Second
Priority Collateral Trustee, the Second Priority Indenture Trustee and any other
Second Priority Claimholders].”

In addition, the parties hereto agree that each Second Priority Security Document covering any
Collateral shall contain such other language that the First Priority Collateral Trustee determines,
in good faith, is necessary under applicable law to give effect to the relative priority of any
Liens and other terms of this Agreement or the Common Representative Agreement.

          (d) Prompt written notice of any amendment, supplement, modification or Refinancing with
respect to the Second Priority Obligations or the Second Priority Documents shall be provided to
the First Priority Indenture Trustee by the Second Priority Indenture Trustee or the Second
Priority Collateral Trustee, as applicable. Prompt written notice of any amendment, supplement,
modification or Refinancing with respect to the First Priority Obligations or the First Priority
Documents shall be provided to the Second Priority Indenture Trustee by the First Priority
Indenture Trustee or the First Priority Collateral Trustee, as applicable. Nothing in this Section
5.3(d) shall permit any amendment, supplement, modification or Refinancing not otherwise permitted
under this Agreement.

     5.4 Bailee for Perfection; Collateral Trustee.

          (a) The First Priority Collateral Trustee agrees to hold that part of the Collateral that is
in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) to the
extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon under the UCC or other
applicable law (such Collateral being the “PLEDGED COLLATERAL”) and any other Collateral and
proceeds that it holds, as Collateral Trustee for itself and the other First Priority Claimholders
and as Collateral Trustee and bailee for the Second Priority Collateral Trustee (such collateral
agency/bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-106,
8-301(a)(2), 9-104, 9-105, 9-106, 9-107 and 9-313(c) of the UCC) for the purpose of perfecting the
Liens and security interest granted under the First Priority Documents and the Second Priority
Documents, respectively, and for all purposes of this Agreement, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. The Second Priority

- 20 -

 

Collateral Trustee agrees to hold any Pledged Collateral that is in its possession or control
(or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees), and any other Collateral and proceeds
that it or its agents or bailees holds, as Collateral Trustee for the Second Priority Claimholders
and as Collateral Trustee and bailee for the First Priority Collateral Trustee (such collateral
agency/bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-106,
8-301(a)(2), 9-104, 9-105, 9-106, 9-107 and 9-313(c) of the UCC) for the purpose of perfecting the
Liens and security interest granted under the Second Priority Documents and the First Priority
Documents, respectively, and for all purposes of this Agreement, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.

          (b) The First Priority Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Second
Priority Collateral Trustee or any other Second Priority Claimholder to ensure that the Pledged
Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to protect or preserve rights, privileges,
powers, remedies or benefits of any Person (including to protect or preserve the Collateral for the
benefit of the Second Priority Claimholders) and shall not otherwise owe the Second Priority
Collateral Trustee or any other Second Priority Claimholder any duty in respect of its role as
Collateral Trustee and bailee pursuant to Section 5.4(a) except as expressly set forth in this
Section 5.4. The duties or responsibilities of the First Priority Collateral Trustee under this
Section 5.4 shall be limited solely to holding and/or maintaining control of the Pledged Collateral
as Collateral Trustee and bailee in accordance with this Section 5.4 (to the extent that the First
Priority Collateral Trustee has not Disposed of the Collateral or returned the Collateral to a
Grantor or its designee in accordance with the First Priority Documents) and delivering the Pledged
Collateral upon a Discharge of First Priority Obligations as provided in paragraph (c) below.
Likewise, the Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever to the First
Priority Claimholders, the First Priority Collateral Trustee or any First Priority Claimholder to
ensure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to protect or
preserve rights, privileges, powers, remedies or benefits of any Person (including to protect or
preserve the Collateral for the benefit of the First Priority Claimholders) and shall not owe any
Person any duty in respect of its role as Collateral Trustee and bailee pursuant to Section 5.4(a)
except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. The duties or responsibilities of the Second
Priority Collateral Trustee under this Section 5.4 shall be limited solely to holding and/or
maintaining control of the Pledged Collateral and any other Collateral and proceeds thereof that it
holds as Collateral Trustee and bailee in accordance with this Agreement.

          (c) Upon the Discharge of First Priority Obligations, the First Priority Collateral Trustee
shall, unless prohibited by any Requirement of Law, deliver the remaining Pledged Collateral (if
any) together with any necessary endorsements, first, to the Second Priority Collateral Trustee if
any Second Priority Obligations remain outstanding, and second, to the Company to the extent no
First Priority Obligations or Second Priority Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as
to allow such Person to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral).

          (d) So long as the Discharge of First Priority Obligations has not occurred, the First
Priority Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral or Collateral
within its “control” in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, applicable law, and other

- 21 -

 

First Priority Documents as if the Liens of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee and Second
Priority Claimholders did not exist.

     5.5 When Discharge of First Priority Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. This
Agreement applies to any Refinancing of the First Priority Obligations permitted under Section 5.3
hereof, and constitutes a continuing offer by each of the Second Priority Indenture Trustee, the
Second Priority Collateral Trustee, each on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority
Claimholders, to any First Priority Indenture Trustee, First Priority Collateral Trustee and any
other First Priority Claimholder, that such Second Priority Indenture Trustee, Second Priority
Collateral Trustee and Second Priority Claimholders will be bound by the terms hereof with respect
to any such Refinanced First Priority Obligations. If concurrently with the Discharge of First
Priority Obligations, the Company enters into any Refinancing permitted under Section 5.3 hereof
that indefeasibly pays in full the First Priority Obligations, then such Discharge of First
Priority Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this
Agreement, and, from and after the date on which the New First Priority Debt Notice (defined below)
is delivered to the Second Priority Collateral Trustee in accordance with the next sentence, the
obligations and Indebtedness under such Refinancing shall automatically be treated as First
Priority Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien
priorities and rights, privileges, powers and remedies in respect of Collateral set forth herein,
and the new collateral trustee under the documents evidencing or governing such Refinanced
obligations and Indebtedness (the “REFINANCING DOCUMENTS”) shall be the First Priority Collateral
Trustee for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice (the “NEW FIRST PRIORITY DEBT
NOTICE”) stating that the Company has entered into Refinancing Documents (which notice shall
include the identity of the new collateral trustee (such agent, the “NEW AGENT”)), the Second
Priority Collateral Trustee, the Second Priority Indenture Trustee, the Company and the Grantors
shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements provided to it (including amendments,
supplements or amendments and restatements of and to this Agreement and the Common Representative
Agreement provided to it) as such New Agent shall reasonably request in writing in order to provide
to the New Agent the rights, privileges, powers and remedies contemplated hereby, in each case
consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement and (b) deliver to the New
Agent any Pledged Collateral held by it together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise
allow the New Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral) (and the Second Priority
Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on such written request). The New Agent
shall agree in a writing addressed to the Second Priority Collateral Trustee and the Second
Priority Claimholders to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

     5.6 Right to Receive Cash Interest. Subject to the terms of the other First Priority
Documents, the Second Priority Documents and the Common Representative Agreement, nothing in this
Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Second Priority Indenture Trustee, the Second Priority
Collateral Trustee or the other Second Priority Claimholders of the cash interest payments on the
Second Priority Securities, so long as (a) no Enforcement Period is then in existence, (b) neither
the First Priority Collateral Trustee, the First Priority Indenture Trustee, nor the First Priority
Noteholders who hold in the aggregate more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding principal
amount of the First Priority Securities has commenced the exercise of rights or remedies under any
of the First Priority Documents; and (c) such cash interest payment is not received as a direct or
indirect result of the exercise by the Second Priority Collateral

- 22 -

 

Trustee, the Second Priority Indenture Trustee or any other Second Priority Claimholder of
rights, privileges, powers, or remedies as a creditor (including setoff) or enforcement of any
Lien.

SECTION 6 Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

     6.1 Finance and Sale Issues.

          (a) Until the Discharge of First Priority Obligations has occurred, if the Company or any
other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the First Priority
Collateral Trustee shall desire to permit the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term is defined in
Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), on which the First Priority Collateral Trustee or any other
creditor has a Lien or to permit the Company or any other Grantor to obtain financing, whether from
the First Priority Claimholders or any other Person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any
similar Bankruptcy Law (“DIP FINANCING”), then each of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee and
the Second Priority Indenture Trustee, each on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority
Claimholders, agrees that it will not raise directly or indirectly (or support any other Person
raising), and hereby waives any right, privilege, power or remedy to raise directly or indirectly,
any objection to such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing including any objection that DIP
Financing grants Liens senior to the Liens securing the Second Priority Obligations or otherwise
entitles the DIP Financing to payment prior to any payment to the Second Priority Claimholders;
provided that the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Second Priority
Claimholders retain the right, privilege and power to object to any such Cash Collateral use or DIP
Financing solely on the basis that more favorable financing terms are available to the Company at
such time. The Second Priority Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself and the other Second
Priority Claimholders, will subordinate its Liens in the Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP
Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and will not request Adequate Protection (as
defined in Section 6.3) or any other relief in connection therewith (except, as expressly agreed by
the First Priority Collateral Trustee or to the extent permitted by Section 6.3).

          (b) The Second Priority Indenture Trustee and the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, each on
behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Claimholders, each agree that they will not contest
(or support any other Person contesting), and do hereby waive any right, privilege, power and
remedy to contest any sale of the Collateral that has been approved by the First Priority Indenture
Trustee or any of the other First Priority Claimholders, provided that (i) such sale is approved by
a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Bankruptcy Law or other applicable law and (ii) the
Liens, if any, of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee or any other Second Priority Claimholder
on such Collateral shall attach to the proceeds, subject to the relative priorities described
herein.

     6.2 Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of First Priority Obligations
has occurred, each of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee and the Second Priority Indenture
Trustee, each on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Claimholders, agrees that, in any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, none of them shall seek (or support any other Person
seeking), and does hereby waive any right, privilege, power and remedy to seek relief from the

- 23 -

 

automatic stay or any other stay or injunction under applicable law in respect of or related
to or having an indirect or direct effect on the Collateral.

     6.3 Adequate Protection.

          (a) Until the Discharge of First Priority Obligations has occurred, each of the Second
Priority Indenture Trustee and the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, each on behalf of itself and
the other Second Priority Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall seek (or support any other
Person seeking), and does hereby waive any right, privilege, power and remedy to seek, adequate
protection pursuant to Section 361, 362, 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar relief
under any Bankruptcy Law (“ADEQUATE PROTECTION”); provided, however, that the Second Priority
Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Claimholders, may seek a
junior Lien on the same assets with respect to which a United States bankruptcy court has granted a
lien as Adequate Protection to secure the First Priority Obligations so long as (i) such junior
Lien is subject to the same Lien subordination arrangements as set forth in this Agreement; and
(ii) the Second Priority Indenture Trustee, the Second Priority Collateral Trustee and the other
Second Priority Claimholders each waive all rights, privileges, powers and remedies, if any, to
seek and receive payment in cash of any claims arising by virtue of such Liens, unless the
Discharge of First Priority Obligations has occurred.

          (b) Each of the Second Priority Indenture Trustee and the Second Priority Collateral Trustee,
each on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall
contest (or support any other Person contesting), and does hereby waive any right, privilege, power
and remedy to contest:

          (i) any request by the First Priority Collateral Trustee or any of the other First
Priority Claimholders for Adequate Protection; or

          (ii) any objection by the First Priority Indenture Trustee, the First Priority
Collateral Trustee, or any of the other First Priority Claimholders to any motion, relief,
action or proceeding based on the First Priority Indenture Trustee, the First Priority
Collateral Trustee or any of the other First Priority Claimholders claiming a lack of
Adequate Protection.

          (c) All Liens granted to the Second Priority Collateral Trustee or otherwise for the benefit
of the Second Priority Claimholders, whether as Adequate Protection or otherwise, are intended by
the parties hereto to be and for all purposes shall be deemed to be subject to the Lien priority
and other provisions of this Agreement.

     6.4 No Waiver. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the First
Priority Collateral Trustee or any First Priority Claimholder from objecting in any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Second Priority Collateral Trustee
or any of the Second Priority Claimholders.

     6.5 Avoidance Issues. If any First Priority Claimholder is required in any Insolvency
or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay any amount paid in respect of
First Priority Obligations (a “RECOVERY”), then such First Priority Claimholders shall be entitled
to a reinstatement of First Priority Obligations with respect to all such recovered

- 24 -

 

amounts, and the relative rights and priorities set forth herein shall be reinstated as to all
such recovered amounts as though such amounts had not been paid to such First Priority Claimholder.
Each of the Second Priority Indenture Trustee and the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, each on
behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Claimholders, agrees to promptly pay over to the
First Priority Collateral Trustee all amounts received to the extent that such payments would have
been prohibited hereunder if such First Priority Obligations had not been paid to the First
Priority Claimholder. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this
Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not
diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from
such date of reinstatement. Nothing in this Section 6.5 shall be deemed a waiver or release by any
Second Priority Claimholder of any claim or cause of action against any First Priority Claimholder
arising out of the willful misconduct or fraud of such First Priority Claimholder.

     6.6 Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt
obligations of any of the Company or any Grantor, or any successor, assigns, transferees of such
Company or Grantor, or their respective estates, secured by Liens upon any property of the
reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive
restructuring plan, both on account of First Priority Obligations and on account of Second Priority
Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the First Priority
Obligations and on account of the Second Priority Obligations are secured by Liens, the provisions
of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and
will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

     6.7 Post-Petition Interest. Each of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee and the
Second Priority Indenture Trustee, each on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority
Claimholders, hereby waives in favor of the First Priority Collateral Trustee and the other First
Priority Claimholders, the right, privilege, power and remedy to seek payment in cash of
post-petition interest that might otherwise accrue following the commencement of any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding, unless the Discharge of First Priority Obligations has occurred.

     6.8 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each of the Second
Priority Indenture Trustee and the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, each for itself and on
behalf of the other Second Priority Claimholders, and each of the First Priority Indenture Trustee
and the First Priority Collateral Trustee, each for itself and on behalf of the other First
Priority Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First
Priority Security Documents and the Second Priority Security Documents constitute two separate and
distinct grants of Liens; and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights,
privileges, powers and remedies in the Collateral, the Second Priority Obligations are
fundamentally different from the First Priority Obligations and must be separately classified in
any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To
further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if
it is held that the claims of the First Priority Claimholders and the Second Priority Claimholders
in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of
senior and junior secured claims), then each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees
that all distributions in respect of Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding shall
be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors
in respect of the Collateral (with the effect being that the First Priority Claimholders shall be

- 25 -

 

entitled to receive, in addition to amounts otherwise distributed to them in respect of
principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition
interest (including any additional interest payable pursuant to the First Priority Documents,
arising from or related to a Default, which is disallowed as a claim in any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding), subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, before any
distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Second Priority Claimholders with respect
to the Collateral, with each of the Second Priority Indenture Trustee and the other Second Priority
Collateral Trustee, each for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Claimholders, hereby
acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the First Priority Collateral Trustee, for itself and on
behalf of the First Priority Claimholders, amounts otherwise received or receivable by them in
respect of Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if
such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Priority
Claimholders).

     6.9 Voting Rights. In any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in Mexico, neither the
Second Priority Collateral Trustee, the Second Priority Indenture Trustee nor any other Second
Priority Claimholder shall directly or indirectly vote to accept, vote to reject, execute, veto, or
object to any plan or agreement of reorganization of the Company or any other Grantor unless the
right to vote to accept, vote to reject, execute, veto, or object to such plan or agreement (i) has
not been granted to the common representative under the Common Representative Agreement, or (ii) is
otherwise consistent with the terms of the Common Representative Agreement.

     6.10 Proofs of Claim. In any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in Mexico, neither
the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, the Second Priority Indenture Trustee nor any other Second
Priority Claimholder shall directly or indirectly file or otherwise submit any proof or statement
of claim or any other application for recognition of claim with respect to the Second Priority
Obligations that violates or is otherwise inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or the
terms of the Common Representative Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, each Second Priority
Claimholder shall, upon written request provided to the Second Priority Indenture Trustee, promptly
provide the First Priority Indenture Trustee with a copy of any proof or statement of claim or any
other application for recognition of claim with respect to the Second Priority Obligations filed or
submitted in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding by or at the direction or request of such
Second Priority Claimholder.

SECTION 7 Waivers; Etc.

     7.1 No Warranties or Liability. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Common
Representative Agreement, each of the First Priority Indenture Trustee and the First Priority
Collateral Trustee, each on behalf of itself and the other First Priority Claimholders under the
First Priority Documents, acknowledges and agrees that each of the Second Priority Collateral
Trustee and the other Second Priority Claimholders have made no express or implied representation
or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness,
collectibility or enforceability of any of the Second Priority Documents, the ownership of any
Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. Except as otherwise provided herein
or in the Common Representative Agreement, the Second Priority Claimholders will be entitled to act
under the Second Priority Documents in accordance with law

- 26 -

 

and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate. Except as otherwise
provided herein or in the Common Representative Agreement, each of the Second Priority Indenture
Trustee and the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, each on behalf of itself and the other Second
Priority Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that the First Priority Collateral Trustee and the
other First Priority Claimholders have made no express or implied representation or warranty,
including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectibility or
enforceability of any of the First Priority Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the
perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. Except as otherwise provided herein, the First
Priority Collateral Trustee and the other First Priority Claimholders will be entitled to act under
the First Priority Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole
discretion, deem appropriate. Except as provided herein and in the Common Representative
Agreement, the Second Priority Collateral Trustee and the other Second Priority Claimholders shall
have no duty to the First Priority Collateral Trustee or any of the other First Priority
Claimholders, and the First Priority Collateral Trustee and the other First Priority Claimholders
shall have no duty to the Second Priority Collateral Trustee or any of the other Second Priority
Claimholders, to act or refrain from acting in a manner which results in the occurrence or
continuance of an event of default or default under any agreements with the Company or any other
Grantor (including the First Priority Documents and the Second Priority Documents), regardless of
any knowledge thereof which they may have or be charged with.

     7.2 No Waiver of Lien Priorities.

          (a) No right, privilege, power or remedy of the First Priority Claimholders, the First
Priority Collateral Trustee or any of them to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any First
Priority Document shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to
act on the part of the Company or any other Grantor or by any act or failure to act by any First
Priority Claimholder or the First Priority Collateral Trustee, or by any noncompliance by any
Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, any of the First Priority
Documents or any of the Second Priority Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the
First Priority Collateral Trustee or the other First Priority Claimholders, or any of them, may
have or be otherwise charged with.

          (b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph (but subject to the
provisions of Section 5.3(a) and (d)), the First Priority Claimholders, the First Priority
Collateral Trustee and any of them may, at any time and from time to time in accordance with the
First Priority Documents and/or applicable law, without the consent of the Second Priority
Collateral Trustee or any other Second Priority Claimholders, without incurring any liabilities to
the Second Priority Collateral Trustee or any other Second Priority Claimholders and without
impairing or releasing the Lien priorities and other benefits provided in this Agreement (even if
any right, privilege or power of subrogation or other right, privilege, power or remedy of the
Second Priority Collateral Trustee or any other Second Priority Claimholders is affected, impaired
or extinguished thereby), do any one or more of the following:

          (iii) settle or compromise any First Priority Obligation or any other liability of the
Company or any other Grantor or any security therefor or any liability incurred directly or

          (iv) exercise or delay in or refrain from exercising any right, privilege, power or
remedy against the Company or any security or any other Grantor or any other Person, elect

Priority Collateral and any security and any guarantor or any liability of the Company or

each on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Claimholders, also agrees that, except for a
breach of this Agreement or the Common Representative Agreement, the First Priority Claimholders

of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee and the Second Priority Indenture Trustee, each on behalf
of itself and the other Second Priority Claimholders, hereby waives any claim against any First
Priority Claimholder, the First Priority Indenture Trustee or the First Priority Collateral
Trustee, arising out of any and all actions which the First

- 28 -

 

Priority Claimholders, the First Priority Indenture Trustee or the First Priority Collateral
Trustee may take or permit or omit to take with respect to:

          (i) the First Priority Documents (other than this Agreement and the Common
Representative Agreement);

          (ii) the collection of the First Priority Obligations under the First Priority

          (d) Until the Discharge of First Priority Obligations, each of the Second Priority Collateral

     7.3 Obligations Unconditional. All rights, privileges, powers, remedies, interests,
agreements and obligations of the First Priority Collateral Trustee and the other First Priority
Claimholders and the Second Priority Collateral Trustee and the other Second Priority Claimholders,

Claimholders under any of the First Priority Documents.

     8.5 Subrogation. With respect to the value of any payments or distributions in cash,
property or other assets that any of the Second Priority Claimholders or the Second Priority

First Priority Obligations and to the addition or release of any other Person primarily or
secondarily liable therefor.

     8.7 Obligations under Mexican Applicable Law. Neither the Second Priority Collateral
Trustee, the Second Priority Trustee, nor any other Second Priority Claimholder shall file any

such individual participation is consistent with and permissible under this Agreement. Each Proof
of Claim shall also acknowledge and preserve each of the Common Representative’s Powers granted to

all such other documents and instruments necessary or appropriate for submitting or filing such
Proof of Claim, as reasonably requested by the Common Representative and (ii) upon request, provide

conveyance, all the rights, Powers, trusts, duties, authority and title of its predecessor (subject
to the rights of such predecessor pursuant to Section 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 hereof); but such
predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of the First Priority Indenture Trustee and
the Second Priority Indenture Trustee or the successor, execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor all the rights, Powers, trusts, duties, authority and title of such
predecessor hereunder. Should any deed, conveyance or other instrument in writing from the
Company, the Second Priority Indenture Trustee or the Second Priority Collateral Trustee be
required by any successor Common Representative for more fully and certainly

vesting in such successor the rights, Powers, trusts, duties, authority and title vested or
intended to be vested in the predecessor Common Representative, any and all such deeds, conveyances
and other instruments in writing shall, on request of such successor, be executed, acknowledged and
delivered by the Company, the Second Priority Indenture Trustee or the Second Priority Collateral
Trustee, as applicable. If the Company, the Second Priority Indenture Trustee or the Second
Priority Collateral Trustee shall not have executed and delivered any such deed, conveyance or
other instrument within ten (10) calendar days after it received a written request from the
successor Common Representative to do so, the predecessor Common Representative may execute the
same on behalf of the Second Priority Indenture Trustee or the Second Priority Collateral Trustee,
as applicable. The Second Priority Indenture Trustee, and the Second Priority Collateral Trustee
hereby appoint any predecessor Common Representative as its agent and attorney to act for such
purposes.

subsection 8.6 shall be a an entity in good standing and having power to act as Common
Representative under this Agreement and under applicable law, incorporated under the laws of Mexico
or any state thereof.

Representative may be merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger or consolidation to which the Common Representative shall be a party or to which
the Common Representative has sold its business substantially as a whole, shall be Common
Representative under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of the parties hereto.

     8.9. Representations of Parties. Any Person which shall be designated as the duly
authorized representative of one or more of either the First Priority Indenture Trustee or the
Second Priority Indenture Trustee, the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, or the Second Priority
Holders to act as such in connection with any matters pertaining to this Agreement shall present to
the Common Representative such legal documents as the Common Representative may reasonably require
to demonstrate to the Common Representative the authority of such Person to act as the
representative of such parties.

OPTIONAL GUARANTEED MINIMUM WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT MAXIMUM ANNIVERSARY VALUE RIDER

Notwithstanding any provision in the Contract or Certificate ("Contract") to the
contrary, this Rider becomes a part of the Contract to which it is attached.
Should any provision in this Rider conflict with the Contract, the provisions of
this Rider will prevail.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, this optional Rider
provides a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit ("GMWB") that guarantees an
amount available for Withdrawal not to exceed a maximum annual dollar amount to
be distributed over a specified number of years or over Your lifetime, even if
the Contract Value has been reduced to zero due to unfavorable investment
performance.

EFFECTIVE DATE:  [DATE]

                                  DEFINITIONS

For purposes of this Rider, the following definitions apply. Terms not defined
in this Rider shall have the same meaning given to them in the Contract.

ANNIVERSARY VALUE
The Contract Value minus any Ineligible Purchase Payments as measured one year
from the Effective Date and on subsequent Contract anniversaries.

BENEFIT BASE
A component of the calculation of the GMWB, which is used to determine the total
amount of guaranteed Withdrawals, the Minimum Withdrawal Period, the GMWB
Charge, and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount.

BENEFIT BASE EVALUATION PERIOD
The period of time over which Anniversary Values are considered in determining
the Benefit Base.

BENEFIT YEAR
Each consecutive one year period starting on the Effective Date.

EFFECTIVE DATE
The date shown above when this Rider becomes effective. If this Rider is elected

the date the Rider is elected.

ELIGIBLE PURCHASE PAYMENTS
The Gross Purchase Payments or portion thereof that are included in the
calculation of the Benefit Base.

EXCESS WITHDRAWAL
The portion of any Withdrawal that makes the total of all Withdrawals in a
Benefit Year exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount in that Benefit Year.

INELIGIBLE PURCHASE PAYMENTS
Gross Purchase Payments that are not included in the calculation of the Benefit
Base.

LIFETIME WITHDRAWAL PERIOD
The period of time, if conditions are met, over which You may take Withdrawals
for the length of Your Life.

charges attributable to the surrendered amount.

YOU, YOUR
The Owner.  In the case of Joint Owners, the older of the two Joint Owners.

   GUARANTEED MINIMUM WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT MAXIMUM ANNIVERSARY VALUE PROVISIONS

This Rider provides a GMWB subject to the terms and conditions described herein.

GMWB CHARGE
The GMWB charge is an annualized charge deducted from the portion of Your
Contract Value allocated to the Variable Portfolio(s) or Subaccount(s) on a
quarterly basis beginning one quarter following the Effective Date and ending on
the termination of this Rider.

The amount of the GMWB charge will equal:

All Contract Years               [0.50%]                         Benefit Base
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

BENEFIT BASE EVALUATION PERIOD
A Benefit Base Evaluation Period begins on the Effective Date and extends to the
7th Benefit Year anniversary.

CALCULATION OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE GMWB
The GMWB is available for Withdrawal at any time while this Rider is in effect
and prior to any termination of the GMWB. The amount of Withdrawals and time
period over which You can take Withdrawals under the GMWB may change over time
as a result of Withdrawal activity or Benefit Base increase. Withdrawals made
under this Rider are treated like any other Withdrawal under the Contract for
purposes of calculating Contract Value, Withdrawal Charges, and any other
benefits under the Contract. Withdrawals in excess of the Penalty Free
Withdrawal amount will be assessed a Withdrawal Charge, if applicable.

To determine the GMWB, We calculate each of the following components: Benefit
Base and MAWA. The calculations for each component are detailed below.

BENEFIT BASE
The initial Benefit Base, if the GMWB is elected on the Contract Date, is
Eligible Purchase Payment multiplied by the percentage as specified in the table
below.

The initial Benefit Base, if the GMWB is elected after the Contract Date, is
equal to the Contract Value on the Effective Date.

The table below defines the Eligible Purchase Payments that increase the Benefit
Base, as determined by the time elapsed between the Effective Date and the day
on which Purchase Payments are received by Us and deposited into Your Contract.
Payment Enhancements, if applicable, are not considered Eligible Purchase
Payments.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

On any Benefit Year anniversary occurring during the Benefit Base Evaluation
Period, the Benefit Base is automatically increased to the Anniversary Value
when the Anniversary Value is greater than (a) and (b), where:

                                       2

<PAGE>

     (a) is the current Benefit Base; and

     (b) is all previous Anniversary Values during any Benefit Base Evaluation
         Period.

The Benefit Base is not used in the calculation of Contract Value or any other
benefits under the Contract. We reserve the right to limit the Eligible Purchase
Payments to a maximum of $1,000,000.

MAXIMUM ANNUAL WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT ("MAWA")
The MAWA is an amount calculated as a percentage of the Benefit Base. The
applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage ("MAWP") used to calculate the
MAWA is determined by when the first Withdrawal is made by You, as specified in
the tables below.

*Excess Withdrawals at any time and ownership changes impacting You will cancel
the Lifetime Withdrawal Period. All future Withdrawals provided by this Rider
will then be subject to the Minimum Withdrawal Period based on when the first
Withdrawal is taken and adjusted based on Withdrawal history and investment
performance (see item 3 under IMPACT OF WITHDRAWALS section). If Withdrawals are
taken prior to Your 65th birthday, the Lifetime Withdrawal is not available.

If you are taking required minimum distributions ("RMD") from the Contract, and
the portion of the RMD amount based on Contract Value, only, is greater than the
Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, that portion of the RMD withdrawal will not be
treated as an excess withdrawal. Any portion of an RMD withdrawal that is based
on amounts greater than the Contract Value alone will be considered an Excess
Withdrawal. This will result in the cancellation of the Lifetime Withdrawal
Period and further may reduce your remaining Minimum Withdrawal Period.

The MAWA can be withdrawn throughout each Benefit Year. If You do not withdraw
the entire MAWA in a Benefit Year, You will maintain Your Minimum Withdrawal
Period, but the MAWA will not increase. Excess Withdrawals in any Benefit Year
may reduce Your future MAWA. See IMPACT OF WITHDRAWALS section below.

If the Benefit Base is increased to the Anniversary Value, the MAWA will be
recalculated on that Benefit Year anniversary, by multiplying the new Benefit
Base by the applicable MAWP.

IMPACT OF WITHDRAWALS
Withdrawals reduce the amount available for Withdrawal under the GMWB. Total
Withdrawals in any Benefit Year equal to or less than the MAWA reduce the
Benefit Base by the amount of the Withdrawal. Once Withdrawals in a Benefit Year
exceed the MAWA, all subsequent Withdrawals in that Benefit Year are Excess
Withdrawals. Excess Withdrawals may reduce the Benefit Base based on the
relative size of the Withdrawal in relation to the Contract Value at the time of
the Excess Withdrawal. This means that when the Contract Value is less than the
Benefit Base, Excess Withdrawals will result in a reduction of the Benefit Base
which is greater than the amount of the Excess Withdrawal. We further explain
this impact and the effect on each component of the GMWB through the
calculations below:

WITHDRAWALS IMPACT CONTRACT VALUE AND THE COMPONENTS OF THE GMWB CALCULATION AS
FOLLOWS:

1. CONTRACT VALUE: Any Withdrawal reduces the Contract Value by the amount of
   the Withdrawal.

2. BENEFIT BASE: Withdrawals up to the MAWA, before any Excess Withdrawal,
   reduce the Benefit Base by the dollar amount of the Withdrawal.

   Any Excess Withdrawal further reduces the Benefit Base to the lesser of
   (a) or (b), where:

                                       3

<PAGE>
           (a) is the Benefit Base immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal
               minus the amount of the Excess Withdrawal, or;

           (b) is the Benefit Base immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal
               reduced in the same proportion by which the Contract Value is
               reduced by the Excess Withdrawal.

        3. MINIMUM WITHDRAWAL PERIOD: If the total of all Withdrawals in a
        Benefit Year are less than or equal to the MAWA, the new MWP equals the
        Benefit Base after the Withdrawal divided by the current MAWA. When the
        Benefit Base is adjusted to a higher Anniversary Value, a new MWP is
        determined by dividing the new Benefit Base by the new MAWA.

        If there is an Excess Withdrawal in a Benefit Year, the new MWP equals
        the MWP calculated at the end of the prior Benefit Year reduced by one
        year. An Excess Withdrawal in a Benefit Year will cancel the Lifetime
        Withdrawal, Period and the new MWP will be determined by dividing the
        new Benefit Base by the new MAWA.

        4. MAXIMUM ANNUAL WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT: If there are no Excess Withdrawals
        in a Benefit Year, the MAWA does not change for the next Benefit Year,
        unless the Benefit Base is increased as described above under "Benefit
        Base."

        If there are any Excess Withdrawals in a Benefit Year, the MAWA will be
        recalculated on the next Benefit Year anniversary. The new MAWA will
        equal the new Benefit Base on that Benefit Year anniversary after the
        Withdrawal divided by the new Minimum Withdrawal Period on that Benefit
        Year anniversary. The new MAWA may be lower than Your previously
        calculated MAWA.

IF YOUR CONTRACT VALUE IS REDUCED TO ZERO
If Your Contract Value is reduced to zero and the Benefit Base is greater than
zero, subsequent Purchase Payments will no longer be accepted and a Death
Benefit will not be payable. You can receive the remaining value of the GMWB
under one of the following options:

        a. A lump sum equal to the discounted present value of any remaining
           guaranteed payments under the GMWB; or,

        b. Periodic payments during each Benefit Year that in total are equal to
           the MAWA until the MWP (or LWP, if eligible) has been reduced to
           zero. If You do not select a specific frequency for these payments,
           We will pay the current MAWA in quarterly payments; or,

        c. Any payment option that is mutually agreeable.

EXTENSION OF THE BENEFIT BASE EVALUATION PERIOD ("EXTENSION")
We may offer You at least two Extensions of the Benefit Base Evaluation Period
at the end of the current Benefit Base Evaluation Period. If You elect such
Extension, you will receive a new Rider with the charges and provisions in
effect at that time.

TERMINATION OF THE GMWB
Once elected, this GMWB Rider and its corresponding charge may be terminated by
the Owner. If the Owner's request to terminate the GMWB is received:

        1. prior to the 7th Benefit Year anniversary, the termination is
           effective on the 7th Benefit Year anniversary;

        2. in any Benefit Year after the 7th Benefit Year anniversary, the
           termination is effective on the Benefit Year anniversary following
           Our receipt of the election to terminate the GMWB.

This Rider and the related charge will terminate automatically if:

        1. The Minimum Withdrawal Period has been reduced to zero, or for the
            Lifetime Withdrawal Period, You die; or,

        2. A Spousal Beneficiary elects to continue the Contract without this
           Rider; or,

        3. A Death Benefit is paid (as described under the Death Provisions or
           Death Benefit section of Your Contract); or,

        4. The Contract is fully withdrawn or surrendered; or,

        5. The Contract is annuitized.

We reserve the right to terminate this GMWB Rider if Withdrawals in excess of
the MAWA in any Benefit Year reduce the Benefit Base by 50% or more.

                                       4

If terminated, the GWMB may not be re-elected.

SPOUSAL CONTINUATION
Upon election to continue the Contract and this Rider, Your Spousal Beneficiary
will be subject to the terms and conditions of this Rider. Upon Your death, the
Lifetime Withdrawal Period ends and is not available to Your Spousal
Beneficiary. The Effective Date will not change as the result of Spousal
Continuation. A continuation contribution paid under the Spousal Continuation
provision of the Contract is not considered an Eligible Purchase Payment, but is
included in the calculation of Anniversary Values if the spouse continues the
Benefit Base Evaluation Period.

Signed for the Company to be effective on the Effective Date.
