The Second Amendment provides further that if the Bankruptcy Court has not issued an order approving the Termination Fee by 6:00 P.M. on April 26, 2004, then Telmex will have the option of reducing the purchase price to $360 million.

(MCIAV.PK) today announced that it has signed an amended agreement with Telefonos de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (NYSE: TMX; NASDAQ: TFONY) for the sale of MCI's equity stake in Brazilian telecommunications provider Embratel Participacoes (NYSE: EMT). The new agreement, which has been approved by the MCI Board of Directors, increases the cash purchase price to be paid by Telefonos de Mexico (TELMEX) to $400 million from $360 million and establishes a $12.2 million transaction termination fee. The amended agreement also provides for a $50 million up-front payment to MCI by TELMEX - which would be retained by MCI if the proposed transaction cannot be consummated because of the inability to obtain regulatory approvals.
