II. Scope of Engagement

Our work will be performed based on the information provided by you and we will
not issue any opinion regarding the reasonability of the figures involved, every
time that the procedures to apply do not constitute an audit of the financial
statements or the information provided to us in order to fulfill our work.

The purpose of our work will be to assist The Companies to fulfill its transfer
pricing documentation obligations, and to evaluate if the prices, amounts of
compensation or profit margins of the transactions performed by The Companies
with its foreign related parties are similar those which would have been agreed
between independent parties in comparable transactions, according to Articles
86-XII and 215 of the Mexican Income Tax Law (MITL), during fiscal year 2006,
and to determine if the prices, amounts of compensation or profit margins of the
transactions performed by The Companies with its Mexican related parties, are
similar to those which would have been agreed between independent parties in
comparable transactions, according to Article 86-XV of the MITL.

This proposal covers only the elaboration of the transfer pricing analysis for
the transactions performed with the related parties mentioned in the Background
section, and does not include the filing for an advanced pricing agreement with
the tax authorities, in order to obtain a transfer pricing ruling. In such case,
a request for an advanced pricing agreement would be evaluated once the transfer
pricing study is concluded.

According to Article 86-XII of the MITL for fiscal year 2006, the transfer
pricing analysis with respect to the transactions carried out with foreign
related parties, must be performed for each type of transaction (sales,
purchases, services, among others). Also, the informative tax return regarding
transactions with foreign related parties requires that the information of these
transactions be filed per type of transaction. Therefore, in order to support
the information that will be filed in the informative tax return for fiscal year
2006, as well as to fulfill the applicable tax provisions for said fiscal year,
our work will consist of analyzing separately each type of transaction performed
by The Companies with its foreign related parties, during fiscal year 2006. The
transfer pricing analysis of the transactions performed between The Companies
and its Mexican related parties will be performed on the same basis.

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We will keep in strict confidentiality any documentation and information that
may be furnished to us in order to perform our work, as well as the results
obtained in the analysis. No information will be disclosed to any other party
unless it is specifically requested by The Companies.

The scope of our work will be limited to prepare a transfer pricing studies for
fiscal year 2006, which will include the transactions carried out by The
Companies with its foreign related parties, mentioned in the Background section,
and to determine if the prices, amounts of compensation or profit margins of
these transactions are similar to those which would be agreed between
independent parties in comparable transactions. At the end, we will provide you
with a report that will consist of the following:

Section I:     Introduction

Section II: Business Overview

Section III: Transactions with Foreign Related Parties

Section IV: Economic Analysis

Section V: Conclusions

Section VI: Appendixes

Likewise, regarding the transactions performed with the Mexican related parties
mentioned in the Background section of this proposal, we will provide opinion
letters containing the following:

Section I:     Introduction

Section II: Business Overview

Section III: Analysis and Results

Section IV: Conclusions

III. Work Plan

We anticipate that the project will take approximately twelve weeks to carry out
and deliver the transfer pricing report for fiscal year 2006, once we have all
the information required to perform our work. This timetable depends on a timely
support from The Companies’ personnel to our information requirements, as well
as on the quality of such information. During the elaboration of the project, we
will make our best effort to deliver it on the time stipulated in this
engagement letter. Unanticipated events may require some modification of the
timetable as well as of our fees. We will notify you of these events as soon as
they arise.

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Startup of the project will be scheduled once we receive a signed copy with your
approval of our proposal.

Our work will be performed according to the following stages:

Information requirement: An information requirement will be submitted to The
Companies’ personnel in order to obtain the information necessary to start the
transfer pricing studies.

Data gathering: A meeting with The Companies’ personnel will be carried out in
order to gather and to review the information required in the previous stage.

Functional analysis/Background: With the information obtained, we will carry out
the functional analysis of The Companies, which consists of a detailed
description of its functions and transactions with its foreign related parties.
Regarding the opinion letters, we will prepare a description of the intercompany
transactions performed with Mexican related parties.

Transfer pricing methodology: We will apply the best transfer pricing
methodology for each type of transaction performed with related parties,
including the comparable companies search, the economic adjustments that may
apply and the results.

Transfer pricing report and opinion letter: We will prepare the drafts for
discussion purposes of the report and the opinion letters, which will contain
the functional analysis, the economic analysis, the results and our conclusions,
as well as the appendixes, which support the work performed.

Draft review: We will deliver the drafts for discussion purposes, for your
review and comments. If necessary, we will schedule a meeting to go over the
work performed, as well as the results obtained.

Final version: Once The Companies has reviewed the drafts and provided us its
comments, we will prepare and deliver the final versions of the transfer pricing
reports, and the opinion letters.

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a result of our work we will issue opinions which will be based on the
current applicable Mexican regulations in force. Such regulations may be
modified or abrogated at any moment. As a result, such changes may affect the
future validity of our conclusions, which would be updated in the event that The
Companies requests it from us, causing additional fees. Our comments will not
constitute a resolution of mandatory application. Thus, third parties may not
agree with them.

IV.      Staffing

The success of our transfer pricing projects is attributable to the team work of
our specialized staff. KPMG has a professional team with experience in serving
the needs of corporations with respect to transfer pricing. In this analysis we
will incorporate economical and fiscal issues with transfer pricing
applications. The successful synergy of these two perspectives is our signature
and what we believe makes us different from our competitors.

Our project team will consist of myself, Partner of the Tax Practice, Jose
Casas, Transfer Pricing Partner, Alma Gutierrez, Transfer Pricing Manager, as
well as members from our staff specialized in this area. I will be responsible
for the project, while Alma Gutierrez will direct the project on a day-to-day
basis.

V.       Fees

Our professional fees for the transfer pricing report and opinion letter of 2006
will be of $30,000 US dollars, plus Value Added Tax (“VAT”). We will require a
60% advanced payment at the beginning of our work, 20% will be invoiced the
following month and the rest will be required once we deliver the draft for
discussion purposes. Any out-of-pocket expenses will be charged separately,
previous authorization of The Companies before incurring them.

Our fees are based on the degree of responsibility and skills involved and the
time necessary to conduct the work. Circumstances encountered during the
rendering of our services that warrant additional time and expense may cause us
to be unable to deliver them within the time and amount listed above. We will
notify you of any circumstances as they are assessed.
