The Bank’s agreeing to the amendments contained herein do not and shall not create (nor shall the Obligor rely upon the existence of or claim or assert that there exists) any obligation of the Bank to consider or to agree to any further amendments or waivers to any Related Document. In the event that the Bank subsequently agrees to consider any further amendment or waiver to any Related Document, neither the amendments contained herein nor any other conduct of the Bank shall be of any force or effect on the Bank’s consideration or decision with respect to any such amendment or waiver, and the Bank shall have no further obligation whatsoever to consider or to agree to any such amendment or waiver. The Bank expressly reserves the right to require strict compliance with the terms of the LOCRA as it has been amended by this Amendment in all respects.

New York, NY 10005-2858

Attn: Luigi Sacramone

Re: Cancellation of Account Security and Control Agreement, account number S45182

To Whom It May Concern:

Reference is made to that certain Account Security and Control Agreement dated July 8, 2009 (the “Account Control Agreement”) among Arcos Dorados B.V. (the “Obligor”), Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch (formerly known as Credit Suisse, acting through its Cayman Islands Branch) (the “Secured Party” or the “Bank”) and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the “Securities Intermediary”) entered into pursuant to Section 13(q) of that certain Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement dated as of August 3, 2007 (as amended from time to time, the “LOCRA”) between the Obligor and the Bank, under which the Obligor is required to post Hedging Collateral upon the occurrence of a Hedging Event. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the LOCRA.

This is to advise you that pursuant to an amendment to the LOCRA, dated April 23, 2010, entered into between the Obligor and the Bank (the “Amendment to LOCRA”), the Obligor is no longer required to post Hedging Collateral and, as a result thereof, the undersigned hereby releases the Secured Party’s security interest in the above referenced account (the “Account”), titled Arcos CS Acc. Sec and Cntl Agreement.

Accordingly, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.11 (Termination) of the Account Control Agreement, the Secured party hereby terminates the Account Control Agreement effective as of the Amendment Effective Date (as defined in the Amendment to LOCRA), except with respect to those obligations of the Obligor that survive the termination thereof other than any obligation under Section 9.11 (Termination) of the Account Control Agreement to transfer the Account to a different “securities intermediary” or enter into, execute and deliver an agreement substantially in the form of the Account Control Agreement with such different “securities intermediary.” Accordingly, you may remove any notation in your records indicating the interest of the Secured party in the Account and follow any further instructions of the Obligor regarding the Account.

This letter agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.


This letter agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this letter agreement by telecopy, facsimile or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this letter agreement.
