       generated by the sale of the Companies' inventory and products to the
       Companies' customers or affiliates of the Companies who are located in
       Mexico, and who have been approved by TCFC, ("Customer(s)"). The
       aggregate amount of Receivables purchased by TCFC and outstanding at
       any point in time (whether or not TCFC has assumed the Credit Risk for
       such Receivables purchased by TCFC) shall not exceed (except in TCFC's
       sole discretion) US Seventy Five Million Dollars (US $75,000,000.00),
       (the "Funding Limit"). Purchases of Receivables by TCFC shall normally
       be on a non-notification basis to Customers, however, TCFC reserves the
       right to at any time notify Customers of such Receivable purchases. For
       purposes hereof the term "Dollars" means dollars currency of the United
       States of America.

       1.1.1  TCFC shall from time to time pursuant to Section 4 herein
              establish TCFC Credit Lines for Customers of the Companies.
              Credit Risk assumed by TCFC with respect to Receivables of a
              Customer generated under a TCFC Credit Line as in effect from
              time to time shall apply to such Receivables in the order that
              they arise. Receivables which originate by the Companies render
              a TCFC Credit Line for a Customer, as set forth herein, shall be
              deemed purchased by TCFC on a nonrecourse basis, additional
              Receivables which are in excess of the TCFC Credit Line or which
              originate by a Company under a separate Vitro Credit Line
              (defined herein) or a Vitro Credit Line which is in addition to
              a TCFC Credit Line established for a Customer, as set forth
              herein, shall be deemed purchased by TCFC on a full recourse
              basis and the parties hereby agree that should the recourse
              rights of TCFC against a Company under this Agreement at any time
              be analyzed by a court of law applying Mexican law, then such
              recourse rights shall be deemed to arise from a "garantia de
              cobro" which shall be deemed to have been hereby, agreed to as
              permitted by Article 391 of the Commercial Code of the United
              Mexican States. However, the parties may otherwise agree to
              share Credit Risk with respect to Receivables as they may agree
              from time to time. TCFC shall also set a separate funding limit
              per Customer which shall be equal to the applicable then current
              TCFC Credit Line or and/or the Vitro Credit Line established for
              such Customer pursuant to this Agreement subject however to the
              overall aggregate funding limit set forth above.

              The Companies shall periodically provide a Receivable List to
              TCFC for Receivables being offered for sale to TCFC pursuant to
              Section 5.1 below. TCFCs selection and approval shall be
              evidenced by TCFC signing an acknowledgment of receipt of such
              Approval Listing (defined below). The term "Approval Listing"

              which Schedule shall be signed by TCFC and a Company. Without
              affecting the validity or effect of any purchase of
              Receivables, TCFC may require that a Company have its signature
              on any Approval Listing: ratified before a corredor or notario
              publico for the purpose of achieving public faith as to the
              date on which the Approval Listing in question was executed by
              such Company. The term "Approval Listing Date" shall mean, with
              respect to any Approval Listing the date on which TCFC reserves
              such Approval Listing. TCFC shall be deemed to purchase all
              Receivables contained on any such Approval Listing once TCFC
              signs and aknowledges its acceptance of such Approval Listing
              unless TCFC specifically rejects a Receivable for purchase as
              set forth in this paragraph. The date that TCFC signs and
              accepts any such Approval Listing should be the "Purchase Date"
              with respect to the Receivables listed on such Approval
              Listing. TCFC shall accept or reject (without prejudice to
              TCFC's rescission rights hereafter set forth) an Approval
              Listing within two (2) Business Days following receipt of such
              Approval Listing TCFC may only reject or refuse to purchase any
              Receivable listed on any such Approval Listing if it
              determines, at such time, that any such Receivable does not
              meet TCFC's criteria for purchase as described in Section 1.1.3
              below. it shall be understood however, that TCFC shall have the
              right to rescind the purchase of any purchased Receivable,
              within 10 Business Days following the corresponding Purchase
              Date, if and only if TCFC determines that any such purchased
              Receivable did not meet at the Purchase Date,

              electronic format or on an electronic basis as they may agree
              from time to time.

       1.1.2  Together with the sale of a Receivable to TCFC a Company shall
              be deemed to assign all of such Company's interest in the goods
              represented by such Receivable and in all goods, that may be
              returned by Customers and in all of such Company's rights as an

              Customer-obligor under a Receivable:

              (a)    who is financially usable or unwilling without Commercial
                     Dispute, to pay at maturity any invoice rendered to it,
                     or

              (b)    by or against whom a petition for relief is filed in
                     bankruptcy or a suspension of payments is requested or
                     occurs with respect to such Customer; or

              (e)    who makes a general assignment for the benefit of
                     creditors.

4.     Credit Approval Process. Purchased Receivables which were originated
       under a TCFC Credit Line: (as defined below) shall be called "Credit
       Risk Receivables". TCFC shall only accept Credit Risk for Receivables
       according to the following:

       4.1    TDFM shall perform a credit assessment process on behalf of the
              Companies for each Vitro Customer

       4.2    In order for TDFM to properly perform the credit assessment
              process, the Companies agree that all Customers will be
              submitted to TDFM for credit assessment.

       4.3    Following the credit assessment process, TDFM will within two (2)
              Business Days notify the Companies and TCFC of its
              recommendation of the proposed maximum credit line that TDFM

<PAGE>

              recommends for each Customer. The amount TCFC accepts as its
              TCFC Credit Line for each such Customer shall be the ("TCFC
              Credit Line"). TCFC will notify the Companies and TDFM of the
              TCFC Credit Line that TCFC is willing to take under this
              Agreement;

       4.4.   The Companies may either accept the TCFC Credit Line or propose
              a higher credit line. If a Company proposes a higher credit
              line, a meeting of a joint credit advisory committee ("Credit
              Committee") composed of two TDFM representatives and two of the
              Companies' representatives will meet to discuss the proposal. If
              after discussion, the Companies continues to prefer a credit
              line higher than the TCFC Credit Line then the credit line to
              such Customer will be set at the Companies' proposed level (the
              "Vitro Credit Line");

       4.5    If the Vitro Credit Line, rather than the TCFC Credit Line, is
              established for a Customer, TCFC may determine, in its sole
              discretion, to reduce, modify or eliminate the TCFC Credit Line
              for such Customer and TCFC will so notify the Companies and
              TDFM:

       4.6    If a Vitro Credit Line has been established, the Vitro Credit
              Line will be used to determine whether or not an Order from a
              Customer for the purchase of products should be approved subject
              to Subsections 4.7 and 4.8. If no Vitro Credit Line has been
              established, the TCFC Credit Line will be used to determine
              whether or not an order from a Customer for the purchase of
              products should be approved subject to Subsections 4.7 and 4.8;

       4.7    TDFM will repeat the credit assessment process for all Customers
              with previously established credit limits;

              (i)    At approximately yearly intervals or less frequently as
                     TDFM in its sole discretion deems appropriate or TCFC
                     requests; and/or

              (ii)   At any time a Company requests modification of either the
                     TCFC Credit Line or Vitro Credit Line; and/or

              (iii)  At any time TDFM or TCFC at its sole discretion,
                     determines in accordance with the Procedures that the
                     credit status of the corresponding Customer has changed
                     in any way.

       4.8    If the repetition of the credit assessment process results in a
              new TCFC Credit Line being established by TCFC for any Customer
              of the Companies, TCFC will promptly notify Company and TDFM of
              such determination and the processes described in Subsections
              4.3 and 4.6 above shall reoccur at that time including (if
              necessary) the processes described in Subsections 4.2. 4.4 and
              4.5 above.

       4.9    The Companies agree that:

              (i)    All orders for the purchase of product from the
                     Companies' Customers ("Orders") will be submitted to TDFM
                     by the respective Company and released by TDFM prior to
                     shipment (based upon the established credit limits set
                     forth in Sections 4.3 or 4.4; and

              (ii)   If any Order is not submitted to TDFM for review and
                     release by TDFM in accordance with the TCFC Credit Line
                     prior to shipment, then any existing Credit Risk assumed

                     claims against Customers with respect to Receivables of
                     such Customers sold to TCFC without recourse to the

              (c)    The Companies shall take all such action or undertake all
                     legal or other proceedings to enforce payment as TCFC may

              (e)    Advise TCFC of the uncollectibility of any Reccrvable(s)
                     and to account for such Receivable(s) according to the

                     collection first in satisfaction of the total amount owed
                     on the oldest outstanding invoice from the Companies to
                     the Customer which are the subject of Receivables sold to
                     TCFC, provided however, that notwithstanding the
                     foregoing provision, proceeds from Receivables that were
                     purchased by TCFC without recourse to the Companies shall
                     only be applied to the payment of such non-recourse
                     Receivables and that proceeds of Receivables that were
                     purchased by TCFC with recourse to the Companies (or for
                     which the Companies later become liable on a full
                     recourse basis) shall only be applied to the payment of
                     such recourse Receivables except to the extent that the
                     parties may otherwise agree to apply and account for the

              (h)    If so requested by TCFC, the Companies, shall initiate
                     and conduct on behalf of TCFC as owner of the
                     Receivables, any and all proceedings which TCFC
                     reasonably deems appropriate for the collection of
                     Receivables, and the Companies shall likewise execute
                     such acknowledgments of assignment, affidavits as to the
                     existence of Receivables and underlying transactions and
                     appear as witness for the benefit of TCFC, as may be
                     deemed appropriate by TCFC in any such proceedings. If
                     the Companies refuse to join or cooperate in the
                     proceedings as provided above or act as reasonably
                     requested by TCFC or, if it were necessary for any reason
                     that the Companies brought collection action in their own
                     name and they shall refuse to do so, then TCFC in its
                     discretion may notify the Companies that TCFC has decided
                     to cease having any Credit Risk with respect to such
                     Receivable and upon such notification becoming effective
                     hereunder, such Receivable shall become full recourse to
                     the Companies.

              (i)    Each party agrees that it will notify the other parties
                     of any counterclaims; cross-claims; or defenses of which
                     it becomes aware that are filed in any legal proceeding
                     which involve any issue other than the enforceability of
                     the credit extended to such Customer. The Companies
                     shall indemnify TCFC for any claim against TCFC, loss,
                     costs, expenses, fees, judgments, or other payments
                     incurred arising directly or indirectly from such
                     counterclaims, cross-claims, or defenses.

                     transfer of ownership of the Receivable to TCFC, subject
                     to TCFC's ten Business Day right of recession as set

                     Receivable and the transfer of ownership shall be
                     reflected properly on the respective Company's books.

8.3    Payments:

       8.3.1  The Companies and TCFC agree that the specification of Dollars
              and payment in the place specified pursuant to this agreement
              (the "specified place of payment") is of the essence, and
              Dollars shall be the currency of account in all events. The
              Companies shall make all payments of all amounts due to TCFC
              under this Agreement in Dollars, in same day funds in time to be
              credited in accordance with normal banking procedures on the date

              Companies under this agreement stated to be payable in Dollars
              shall not be discharged by an amount paid in another currency
              or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or
              otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion
              to Dollars and transferred to the specified place of payment

                8.4.2.1 TCFC shall calculate the Cross-Currency Balance (as
                        defined in Section 8.4.2.4) on Wednesday of each week,
                        or on the next Business Day if such Wednesday is not a
                        Business Day, provided however that during any such
                        time as the fluctuation in the Cross-Currency Balance
                        is more than 20% between any Wednesday and the next
                        succeeding Wednesday (or next following Business Day
                        if the latter Wednesday is not a Business Day), then
                        TCFC shall calculate the Cross-Currency Balance on
                        every Business Day until such time as the foreign
                        exchange fluctuation between any Wednesday and the
                        next succeeding Wednesday (or next following Business
                        Day if the latter Wednesday is not a Business Day) is
                        less than 20%. If the Cross-Currency Balance whenever
                        calculated by TCFC in accordance herewith is a
                        positive number, the Companies shall pay such
                        Cross-Currency Balance to TCFC, in Dollars within one
                        (1) Business Day in the manner set forth in 8.3.1. If
                        the Cross-Currency Balance whenever calculated by TCFC
                        in accordance herewith is a negative number TCFC may,
                        if so requested by the Companies at such time, or
                        within one (1) Business Day thereafter , pay the
                        absolute value of such Cross-Currency Balance to the
                        Companies, in Dollars, within one (1) Business Day.
                        (The sum of dollar amounts paid by the Companies to
                        TCFC as provided in this paragraph minus the sum of
                        dollar amounts paid by TCFC to the Companies as
                        provided in this paragraph shall be credited towards
                        satisfaction of the obligation of the Companies under
                        Section 8.4.1 upon its being finally determined.

                8.4.2.2 Notwithstanding the provision of Section 8.4.2.1. as
                        from the occurrence of an Event of Default or the
                        giving of notice by TCFC that it will cease
                        purchasing Rrceivables hereunder, TCFC shall calculate
                        the Cross-Currency Balance on every Business Day. If
                        the Cross-Currency Balance on any such day is a
                        positive number, the Companies shall pay such
                        Cross-Currency Balance to TCFC, in Dollars within the
                        next one (1) Business Day in the manner set forth in
                        8.3.1. During the continuance of any Event of Default
                        incurred by the Companies or after the giving of any
                        notice of termination of this Agreement, TCFC shall
                        not be obligated to make any payments to the Companies
                        by virtue of negative Cross-Currency Balances;
                        however, both (i) the positive Cross-Currency Balance
                        payments made to TCFC by the Companies and (ii) the
                        absolute value of negative Cross-Currency Balances on
                        any of such days, shall be credited towards
                        satisfaction of the obligation of the Companies under
                        Section 8.4.1.

                8.4.2.3 Once all Receivables purchased by TCFC are either
                        collected in full (with respect to their original
                        invoice amount in Pesos) from collections from
                        Customers or from recourse payments by the Companies
                        or any remaining balances are written off as losses,
                        then if upon final reconciliation of all Cross-Currency
                        Balance calculations it is determined that the
                        remaining obligation of the Companies under section
                        8.4.1 is an amount lower than the sum of Cross-Currency
                        Balance amounts due from and as yet unpaid by TCFC
                        pursuant to Sections 8.4.2.1 and 8.4.2.2, then, within
                        5 (five) Business Days following written demand
                        therefor by the Companies to TCFC and provided no
                        Event of Default shall be continuing, TCFC shall pay
                        to the Companies in Dollars. an amount equal to the
                        difference between such two amounts. If upon such
                        final reconciliation of the Cross-Currency Balance
                        calculation it is determined that the obligations of
                        the Companies under Section 8.4.1 have not been fully
                        satisfied then the Companies shall pay to TCFC any
                        remaining amounts necessary to fully satisfy such
                        obligation within five (5) Business Days following
                        written demand therefor by TCFC.

                8.4.2.4 For purposes hereof, the term "Cross-Currency Balance"
                        shall mean. as of the date for which calculated, the
                        difference obtained by subtracting (i) the nominal US
                        Dollar equivalent calculated at the Conversion Factor
                        applicable on such date, of the outstanding balance
                        (which balances shall be deemed reduced not only by
                        collections from Customers but also by recourse
                        payments made by the Companies to TCFC and the amounts
                        of losses written off by TCFC with respect to
                        Receivables) of Receivables denominated in Pesos
                        purchased by TCFC, from (ii) the nominal US Dollar
                        amount of the Direct Advance made by TCFC with respect
                        to each of such Receivables minus (a) the Dollars
                        purchased by TCFC with the Peso amounts received by
                        TCFC from collections of such Receivables, (b) the
                        Dollars received by TCFC from the Companies pursuant
                        to recourse payments on account of such Receivables,
                        and (c) the Dollar equivalent of any losses written
                        off by TCFC with respect to such Receivables
                        calculated at the Conversion Factor applicable on the
                        date on which such losses are written off, or on the
                        following Business Day if such day is not a Business
                        Day. For purposes of this calculation, should TCFC
                        write off a loss with respect to any of such
                        Receivables and thereafter receives a recourse
                        payment from the Companies intended to cover or apply
                        to the loss written off or TCFC recovers from the
                        relevant Customer an amount previously written off by
                        TCFC as a loss or previously covered by a recourse
                        payment from the Companies for a loss, such additional
                        amounts received by TCFC shall not be deducted from
                        the sum to be determined under item (ii) of this
                        Section 8.4.2.4.

                8.4.2.5 Nothing herein shall release the Companies from their
                        obligation under Section 8.4.1.

                8.4.2.6 Furthermore, TCFC shall also have the right to
                        immediately setoff and deduct such amounts still due
                        to TCFC by the Companies from any payments which may
                        otherwise be due from TCFC to the Companies. If for
                        purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is
                        necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars
                        into another currency (in this Section called the
                        "second currency"), the rate of exchange which shall
                        be applied shall be that specified in Section 8.2.1.5.
                        The obligation of the Companies in respect of any such
                        sum due to TCFC bmeunder shall, notwithstanding the
                        rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such
                        judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the
                        Business Day following receipt by TCFC of the sum
                        adjudged to be due hereunder or under the account
                        receivables acquired by TCFC in the second currency.
                        TCFC may, in accordance with normal banking
                        procedures, purchase and transfer to the specified place
                        of payment Dollars with the amount of the second
                        currency so adjudged to be due. The Companies agree to
                        indemnify TCFC against any loss incurred by it as a
                        result of any judgment or order being given or made
                        for the payment of any amount due hereunder which is
                        expressed and paid in secondary currency, other than
                        Dollars, and as a result of any variation between (i)
                        the rate of exchange at which Dollars amount is
                        converted into secondary currency for the purposes of
                        such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange
                        at which TCFC is able to purchase Dollars with the
                        amount of judgment currency actually received by TCFC.
                        The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate
                        and independent obligation of the Companies and shall
                        continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any
                        such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term "rate of
                        exchange" shall include any premiums and costs of
                        exchange payable in connection with the purchase of,
                        or conversions into Dollars.

        8.4.3   Payments on business days: Whenever any payment to be made by
                the Companies or TCFC hereunder shall become due on a day
                other than a Business Day, either for Mexico or the

<PAGE>

                United States of America, the due date thereof shall be
                extended the next succeeding Business Day. The term "Business
                Day, shall mean a day other than a Saturday or Sunday when (i)
                TCFC is open for normal business operations in the United
                States of America, and (ii) the Companies are open for normal
                business operations in Mexico.

        8.5     Taxation:

                (a)     All payments to be made by the Companies hereunder
                        shall be made without setoff (except for any setoff
                        arising from amounts due by TCFC hereunder), defense
                        or countcrcimin. including, without limitation, any
                        defense or counterclaim based an any law, rule or
                        policy which is now or hereafter promulgated by any
                        governmental authority or regulatory body in Mexico
                        and which may adversely affect the obligation to
                        make, or the right of TCFC two receive, such payments
                        free and clear of and without deduction for or on
                        account of any present or future taxes of any nature
                        now or hereafter imposed by or within Mexico or by any
                        political subdivision or taxing authorities thereof or
                        therein unless the Companies are compelled by law to
                        make payment subject to such taxes. In the event that
                        the Companies are prohibited by law from making any
                        such payments free of deductions or withholdings, then
                        the Companies shall pay such additional amount to WPC
                        within five (5) Business Days of TCFC's demand
                        therefor, as may be necessary so that the actual
                        amount received by TCFC after the Companies have paid
                        any such deduction or withholding taxes (and after
                        payment of any additional taxes or other charges due
                        as a consequence of the payment of such deduction or
                        withholding) is the same as though deduction or
                        withholding taxes were not required. Notwithstanding
                        the above provisions, the parties hereby agree that
                        with respect to any amounts required to be withheld by
                        the Companies from payments to TCFC up to the rate of
                        4.9%, and (ii) amounts of withholding taxes which are
                        assessed on such payments to TCFC at a rate in excess
                        of 15%.

                (b)     The Companies shall pay directly to the appropriate
                        taxing authority any and all present and future taxes,
                        levies imposts, deductions, stamp and other duties,
                        filing and other fees or charges (includiqg without
                        limitation any capital transaction tax or foreign
                        exchange tax or charge) and all liabilities with
                        respect thereto imposed by the law of Mexico or by any
                        taxing authority thereof or within with regard to any
                        aspect of the transactions contemplated by this
                        Agreement or the execution and delivery of this
                        Agreement or other documentation hereunder, provided,
                        however, the Companies may contest, at the Companies'
                        sole cost and expense, by appropriate legal
                        proceedings conducted in good faith and with due
                        diligence, the amount, validity or imposition, in
                        whole or in part, of any tax, provided that (a) the
                        Companies shall have set aside on its books adequate
                        reserves with respect thereto: (b) that no assets of
                        the Companies would be in any immediate danger of
                        being forfeited or taken or a lien being unpaid
                        thereon, (c) that the Companies would not be incurring
                        any criminal liability for failure to pay such tax
                        during the pendency of the contest; (d) if such
                        contest be finally resolved against the Companies, the
                        Companies shall promptly pay the amount required to be
                        paid, together with all interest and penalties accrued
                        thereon; and (e) no Event of Default exists. The
                        Companies shall hold IWCPFC harmless from any
                        liability with respect to the delay or failure by the
                        Companies to pay any such taxes or charges and shall
                        reimburse TCFC, upon demand, for any such taxes paid
                        by any of them in connection herewith whether or not
                        such taxes shall be correctly or legally asserted or
                        otherwise contested or contestable together with any
                        interest, penalties and expenses in connection
                        therewith.

                (c)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Companies shall
                        pay any tax or charge as provided herein or shall make
                        any deductions or withholdings from amounts paid
                        hereunder, the Companies shall within five (5)
                        Business Days of such timely payment to the Mexican
                        tax authorities, forward to TCFC official reccipts or
                        evidence acceptable to TCFC establishing payment of
                        such amounts.

<PAGE>

        8.6     Statement: TCFC shall send a monthly statement of account to
                the Companies which shall constitute an account stated and
                be binding upon the Companies with respect to the matters
                reflected therein and in any matters previously reported to
                the Company which we incorporated therein, except to the
                extent that written exceptions thereto are served upon TCFC
                within thirty (30) days of such statement.

        8.7     Material Change: The Companies hereby agree that the
                obligations of TCFC hereunder are subject to the condition
                that there be no material change in governmental regulations
                or monetary policies of the United States of America or of
                Mexico, including any such change relating to TCFC which would
                have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital
                of TCFC below the level contemplated hereby. In the event that
                any law, regulation, treaty or official directive or the
                interpretation or application thereof by any court or
                governmental authority of the United States of America or of
                Mexico or the compliance with any guidelines or request of
                either or any subdivision thereof (whether or not having the
                force of law): (i) subjects TCFC to any tax with respect to
                any amounts payable hereunder by the Companies or otherwise
                with respect to the transactions contemplated hereunder
                (except for taxes on the overall net income of TCFC imposed by
                the United States of America or any political subdivision
                thereof), or (ii) imposes upon TCFC any other condition with
                respect to the purchases made hereunder, and the result of any
                of the foregoing is to increase the cost to TCFC, reduce the
                income received or receivable by or return on equity of TCFC
                or impose any expense upon TCFC with respect to any purchases
                hereunder, TCFC shall so notify the Companies. In such event
                TCFC shall have the option to. require the Companies to pay
                TCFC the amount of such increase in cost, reduction in income,
                reduced return on equity or additional expense. The Companies
                agree to pay TCFC the amount of such increase in cost,
                reduction in income, reduced return on equity or additional
                expense as and when such cost, reduction in income, reduced
                return on equity or additional expense is incurred or
                determined, upon presentation by TCFC of a statement in the
                amount and setting forth TCFC's calculation thereof (in
                determining such amount, TCFC may use any reasonable averaging
                and attribution methods), which statement shall be deemed true
                and correct absent manifest error. In the event TCFC requires
                the Companies to make payments to TCFC pursuant to this
                Section 8.7, the Companies shall have the right, provided no
                Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to
                send a notice to TCFC of the Companies' intent to terminate
                this Agreement, which termination shall become effective after
                the lapse (counted as from the date in which such notice
                becomes effective hereunder) of the number of months (not to
                be in any event less than three) so specified by the Companies
                in such notice, provided however, that the Companies will
                continue to be obligated to reimburse TCFC for all such
                payments for such amounts that accrue or are incurred by TCFC
                prior to and during such period.

9.      Risk of Loss.

        9.1     The purchase by TCFC of Receivables will be on a full recourse
                or non-recourse basis as determined the extent that TCFC has
                assumed Credit Risk therefor pursuant to the terms of this
                Agreement and the parties hereby agree that should the
                recourse rights of TCFC against a Company at any time be
                analyzed by a court of law applying Mexican law, then such
                recourse rights shall be deemed to arise from a "garantia de
                cobro" which shall be deemed to have been hereby agreed to as
                permitted Article 391 of the Commercial Code of the United
                Mexican States.

                9.1.1   If the Direct Advances funded with respect to any
                        Receivable were an amount higher than the amount
                        actually due and payable by the corresponding Customer
                        under that Receivable for any reason other than by
                        reason of an exchange rate fluctuation (including.
                        without limitation, by reason of a credit issued by a
                        Company or a debit not raised by a Customer in respect
                        of a discount taken or other claim), then, the
                        Companies will pay such difference to TCFC within
                        five (5) Business Days from the date of TCFC making
                        demand for payment therefor. In addition, TCFC may at
                        its sole option, deduct such payment from any payment
                        due the Companies from TCFC.

<PAGE>

                9.1.2   If the original invoice for any purchased Receivable
                        shall not have been received by TCFC within five
                        Business Days following written request therefor by
                        TCFC to the Companies, then such Receivable shall
                        become full recourse to the Companies.

          9.2  If a purchased Receivable becomes an Uncollectible Receivable
               (as defined in Section 9.3) then, the Company shall, upon
               demand by TCFC, pay to TCFC, within five (5) Business Days from
               the date of such demand without deduction, an amount in Dollars
               which at the Conversion Factor on the date of delivery to TCFC
               shall be equal to the allocable percentage share of Credit Risk
               assumed by the Companies, or such portion of the Credit Risk as
               the parties may have otherwise previously agreed to be assumed
               by the Companies, with respect to the Uncollectibility Loss for
               such Receivable (as defined in Section 9.3). This obligation
               shall apply regardless of any reason expressed by the Customer
               for nonpayment, including, without limitation, any breach of
               contract by the Company, the costence of any setoff or
               counterclaim, the right to a deduction, any matter which would
               constitute a breach of the Company's warranties and covenants to
               the Customer, the Company's acceptance of the return of any goods
               which are the subject of a Receivable, or the Company's
               liability to credit the Customer. In the event that the Company
               pays TCFC the Dollar equivalent of the allocable percentage
               share of Credit Risk assumed by the Companies, or such portion
               of the Credit Risk as the parties may have otherwise
               previously agreed to be assumed by the Companies, with respect
               to the Uncollectibility Loss as herein provided and provided no
               Company shall have incurred an Event of Default, then any
               further. payments received by TCFC on such Receivable shall be
               remitted to the Company within five (5) Business Days. In the
               event that any Company shall have incurred an Event of Default
               then TCFC shall not remit any such payments as would otherwise
               be due the Companies pursuant to the above provisions until
               such time as the Companies have cured such Event of Default or
               all obligations of the Companies to TCFC pursuant to this
               Agreement have been fully satisfied. Each such Dollar amount
               delivered by the Companies to TCFC shall be deemed a collection
               on account of such Receivable for all other purposes hereof. The
               Dollar equivalent of the unpaid portion of any Uncollectible
               Receivable, after giving effect to the recourse payment by the
               Companies, if any, shall be written off from the aggregate
               outstanding balance of purchased Receivables.

          9.3  Uncollectible Receivables and Uncollectibility Loss:

               9.3.1 Uncollectible Receivables: Without limitation, a
                     Receivable shall be deemed to be uncollectible
                     ("Uncollecttble Receivable") upon the earlier of any of
                     the following events:

                9.3.1.1 Insolvency: The Customer-obligor under the Receivable
                        becomes insolvent, makes a general assignment for the
                        benefit of creditors, or becomes subject to or applies
                        for concurso mercantil or any bankruptcy proceedings,
                        or is submitted to or makes or there is made an
                        application for the process of control administration
                        or of preliminary concordat or is put into forced or
                        voluntary liquidation, or such Customer shall
                        otherwise enter into any settlement or commence any
                        proceedings under any law, regulation or decree of
                        Mexico relating to reorganization arrangement,
                        readjustments of debts, dissolution or liquidation by
                        reason of insolvency, whether now or hereafter in
                        effect; or

                9.3.1.2 Nonpayment: The Customer under the Receivables shall
                        fail to pay the amount due on the Receivable when due
                        and payable and such default has continued for a
                        90-day term from the time the Receivables was
                        originally due for any reason. including, without
                        limitation, a dispute regarding the goods or
                        otherwise, strike, currency restriction or failure of
                        consideration in the underlying transaction.

                9.3.1.3 Uncollectible: TCFC notifies the Companies that TCFC
                        deems a Receivable uncollectible or that TCFC
                        believes, with reasonable good grounds and in good
                        faith, that it is unlikely that payment by the
                        Customer of the Receivable will be made on the date
                        the Receivable will be due and payable (as determined
                        by TCFC in its reasonable discretion.

                9.3.2   Uncollectibility Lcss. The term " Uncollectibility
                        Loss" of a Receivable means the result of subtracting,
                        from the Original Invoice Amount of such Receivable,
                        the amount of Pesos actually collected by TCFC on
                        account of such Receivable prior to the date on which
                        such Receivable became an Uncollectible Receivable.
                        For purposes hereof, the term "Original Invoice
                        Amount" of a Receivable means the Peso amount stated
                        as due (including any debits or credits so stated) by
                        a Customer on account of such Receivable (i) in the
                        Approval Listing where such Receivable shall have been
                        offered for purchase to TCFC hereunder or, in the
                        absence of an individual statement in that regard in
                        an Approval Listing with regard to such Receivable,
                        then (ii) in the face of the document or documents
                        evidencing such Receivable.

        9.4     Commercial Disputes. If a Receivable becomes subject to a
                Commercial Dispute (defined below) whether or not TCFC is
                taking Credit Risk with respect to such Receivable, then TCFC
                shall allow the respective Company thirty (30) days to resolve
                any asserted or alleged Commercial Dispute. Any amounts that a
                Company may allow as a settlement amount with respect to the
                Customer relating to the Receivable in dispute shall not be
                subject to Credit Risk on the part of TCFC, and if TCFC has
                funded a Company for the purchase of such Receivable from the
                Companies then the Companies shall within 5 Business Days pay
                TCFC the amount allowed by the Companies in settlement as a
                reduction of the amount due by such Customer under such
                Receivable. If at the end of such 30-day period such
                Commercial Dispute has not been resolved then TCFC shall no
                longer have any Credit Risk for the portion of the Receivable
                that remains in dispute, and if TCFC has funded a Company for
                the purchase of such Receivable from the Companies, then the
                Companies shall within 5 Business Days pay TCFC the amount of
                such Receivable remaining in dispute. "Commercial Dispute"
                shall mean any dispute or claim in any respect (including,
                without limitation, any alleged dispute as to price, terms,
                quantity, quality, or late delivery, and claims of release from
                liability, counterclaim, or any alleged claim of deduction,
                offset, counterclaim or otherwise, arising out of an invoice
                or any other transaction.

        9.5     Assignment of Receivables. With respect to all Receivables
                which am purchased by TCFC. the Companies shall thereafter be
                deemed to have assigned all of the respective Company's title
                and interest in such Receivables to TCFC along with all of
                such Company's interest in the goods represented by such
                Receivable and in all goods that may be returned by Customers
                with respect to such Receivable and in all of the respective
                Company's rights as an unpaid vendor with respccl to such
                Receivable. The Companies agree to execute any documents or
                related items that may be necessary to evidence such
                assignment.

10. The Companies' Warranties and Covenants:

        10.1    Warranty. Each Company warrants, as of the date hereof and as
                of the date of each purchase made hereunder, to TCFC as
                follows:

                10.1.1  That for every Receivable which is purchased by TCFC:
