 The Collateral Agent and Securities Intermediary shall not be liable for any error of judgment
made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. 

In no event shall the Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its
obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts or war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural

which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to avoid and mitigate the effects of such occurrences and to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances). 

SECTION 8.2 Instructions of the Company. 

The Company shall have the right, by one or more written instruments executed and delivered to the Collateral Agent, to direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for the realization of any right or remedy available to the Collateral Agent, or of exercising any power conferred on the Collateral Agent, or to direct the taking or refraining from taking of any action
authorized by this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) such direction shall not conflict with the provisions of any law or of this Agreement or involve the Collateral Agent in personal liability and (ii) the
Collateral Agent shall be indemnified to its satisfaction as provided herein. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Securities Intermediary has any obligation or responsibility to file any UCC financing or continuation statements or to take any other

 SECTION 8.3
Reliance by Collateral Agent and Securities Intermediary. 
 Each of the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall be
entitled, in the absence of bad faith, to rely conclusively upon any certification, order, judgment, opinion, notice or other written communication (including, without limitation, any thereof by e-mail or
similar electronic means, telecopy, telex or facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons (without being required to determine the correctness of any fact stated

Intermediary shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith in reliance upon the advice of such counsel. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary
shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Company in accordance with this Agreement. In the event any instructions are given (other than in writing at the
time of the execution of this Agreement), whether in writing, by telecopier or otherwise, the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary are authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone
call-back to the person or persons designated on Schedule I hereto, and the Collateral Agent and

the Securities Intermediary may rely upon the confirmations of anyone purporting to be the person or persons so designated. The persons and telephone numbers for
call-backs may be changed only in writing actually received and acknowledged by the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary. 

It is understood that the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary in any funds transfer may rely solely upon any account numbers or
similar identifying number provided by the Company to identify (i) the beneficiary, (ii) the beneficiary’s bank or (iii) an intermediary bank. The Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary may apply any of the deposited
funds for any payment order it executes using any such identifying number, even where its use may result in a Person other than the beneficiary being paid, or the transfer of funds to a bank other than the beneficiary’s bank, or an intermediary
bank, designated by the Company; provided, however, that payment is made to the account as specified by the Company. 

In each case that the Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary may or is required hereunder to take any action, including without
limitation to make any determination or judgment, to give consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act hereunder, the Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary may seek direction from the
Company. The Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction from the Company. Unless direction is otherwise expressly
provided herein, if the Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary shall request direction from the Company with respect to any action, the Collateral Agent or the Securities Intermediary shall be entitled to refrain from such action unless and
until such agent shall have received written direction from the Company, and the agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. 

SECTION 8.4 Certain Rights. 

(a) Whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Agreement the Collateral Agent or the Securities Intermediary shall deem it
necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action to be taken hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of gross
negligence or bad faith on the part of the Collateral Agent or the Securities Intermediary, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate signed by one of the Company’s officers, and delivered to the Collateral Agent or
the Securities Intermediary and such certificate, in the absence of gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Collateral Agent or the Securities Intermediary, shall be full warrant to the Collateral Agent or the Securities Intermediary for
any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Agreement upon the faith thereof. 
 (b) The Collateral Agent or
the Securities Intermediary shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, entitlement order, approval or other paper or

any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates) as if it were not acting as the Collateral Agent or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, and the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and their affiliates may accept fees and
other consideration from the Note Purchase Contract Agent and any Holder of Contingent Convertible Units without having to account for the same to the Company; provided that each of the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Agent
covenants and agrees with the Company that it shall not accept, receive or permit there to be created in favor of itself and shall take no affirmative action to permit there to be created in favor of any other Person, any security interest, lien or
other encumbrance of any kind in or upon the Collateral other than the lien created by the Pledge.

expenses of counsel) and taxes (other than those based upon, determined by or measured by the income of the Collateral Agent and Securities Intermediary) of any kind and nature, whatsoever (collectively, “Losses” and individually, a
“Loss”) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Indemnitees or any of them for following any instructions or other directions upon which either the Collateral Agent or the Securities Intermediary is entitled to rely
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, provided that the Collateral Agent or the Securities Intermediary has not acted with gross negligence or engaged in willful misconduct with respect to the specific Loss against which indemnification is
sought; and 
 (c) in addition to and not in limitation of paragraph (b) immediately above, indemnify and hold the Indemnitees and each

which indemnification is sought. 
 The provisions of this Section and Section 10.7 shall survive the resignation or removal of the
Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary and the termination of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 8.9 Failure to Act. 

In the event of any ambiguity in the provisions of this Agreement or any dispute between or conflicting claims by or among the parties hereto
or any other Person with respect to any funds or property deposited hereunder, then at its sole option, each of the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall be entitled, after prompt notice to the Company and the Note Purchase Contract
Agent, to refuse to comply with any and all claims, demands or instructions with respect to such property or funds so long as such dispute or conflict shall continue, and the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall not be or become
liable in any way to any of the parties hereto for its failure or refusal to comply with such conflicting claims, demands or instructions. The Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall be entitled to refuse to act until either:

agreement between the conflicting parties as evidenced in a writing satisfactory to the Collateral Agent or the Securities Intermediary; or 

(b) the Collateral Agent or the Securities Intermediary shall have received security or an indemnity satisfactory to it sufficient to save it

 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Collateral Agent nor the
Securities Intermediary shall be required to take any action that is contrary to law or to the terms of this Agreement, or which would in its opinion subject it or any of its officers, employees or directors to liability.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary as provided below:

Note Purchase Contract Agent as attorney-in-fact for the Holders of Contingent Convertible Units; 

(ii) the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary may be removed at any time by the Company; and 

(iii) the Collateral Agent or the Securities Intermediary fails to perform any of its material obligations hereunder in any

the Note Purchase Contract Agent, acting at the direction of the Holders of a majority in number of the Contingent Convertible Units. 
 The
Note Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly notify the Company of any removal of the Collateral Agent or the Securities Intermediary pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 8.10. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Company shall
have the right to appoint a successor Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary, as the case may be. If no successor Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days
after the retiring Collateral Agent’s or Securities Intermediary’s giving of notice of resignation or the Company’s or the Note Purchase Contract Agent’s giving notice of such removal, then the retiring or removed Collateral
Agent or Securities Intermediary may petition any court of competent jurisdiction, at the expense of the Company, for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary. The Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary
shall each be a bank, trust company or national banking association with a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$50,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary hereunder by a successor
Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, such successor Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, and the retiring Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, shall take all appropriate action, subject to payment of any amounts then due and payable to
it hereunder, to transfer any money and property held by it hereunder (including the Collateral) to such successor. The retiring Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary shall, upon such succession, be discharged from its duties and obligations
as Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary hereunder. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s or Securities Intermediary’s resignation hereunder as Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary, the provisions of this Article VIII shall
continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary. Any resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent or


  
 18 








 
Securities Intermediary hereunder, at a time when such Person is acting as the Collateral Agent and Securities Intermediary, shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement as the simultaneous
resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent and Securities Intermediary, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 8.11 Right to Appoint
Agent or Advisor. 
 The Collateral Agent and Securities Intermediary each shall have the right to appoint agents or advisors in
connection with any of their respective duties hereunder, and the Collateral Agent and Securities Intermediary shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by, or in reliance upon the advice of, such agents or advisors selected in good faith.
The appointment of agents pursuant to Section 8.11 shall be subject to prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 

SECTION 8.12 Survival. 

The provisions of this Article VIII shall survive termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent or the
Securities Intermediary. 
 SECTION 8.13 Exculpation. 

Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Collateral Agent or the Securities Intermediary or
their officers, directors, employees or agents be liable under this Agreement to any third party for indirect, special, punitive, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including, but not limited to, lost profits, whether or not the
likelihood of such loss or damage was known to the Collateral Agent or the Securities Intermediary, or any of them.

 (d) To the extent that the Company has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or
proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment in aid or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, the Company hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead
or claim such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement. 
 (e) Nothing in this Section 10.2 shall affect the right
of the Note Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary or any Holder of the Contingent Convertible Units to serve process in any other manner permitted by law 

SECTION 10.3 Notices. 

Any notice or communication among the Company, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Note Purchase Contract Agent to any
of the others is duly given if in writing and delivered in person or mailed by first-class mail, with postage prepaid (registered or certified, return receipt requested), or sent by facsimile or overnight air couriers guaranteeing next day delivery,
to the other’s address as stated below in this Section 10.3. The Company, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary or the Note Purchase Contract Agent by notice to each of the others may designate additional or different addresses

Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Note Purchase Contract Agent shall not be liable for any loss, liability or expense of any kind incurred by the Company or the Holders due to the Collateral Agent’s, the Security
Intermediary’s or the Note Purchase Contract Agent’s reliance upon and compliance with instructions or directions given by unsecured facsimile or email transmission, provided, however, that such losses have not arisen from the negligence
or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary or the Note Purchase Contract Agent, it being understood that the failure of the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary or the Note Purchase Contract Agent to verify
or confirm that the person providing the instructions or directions, is, in fact, an authorized person does not constitute negligence or willful misconduct. 

All notices and communications (other than those sent to Holders) shall be deemed to have been duly given at the time delivered by hand, if
personally delivered; five Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when transmission is confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile; and the next Business Day after timely delivery to the courier, if sent by overnight

 SECTION 10.9 Notice of Termination. 

Upon the termination of the Note Purchase Contracts, the Company shall deliver an Automatic Termination Notice or a Tax Termination Notice to
the Note Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary in accordance with Section 3.08 or Section 3.09 of the Note Purchase Contract Agreement, as applicable. Upon the written request of the Collateral Agent
or the Securities Intermediary, the Company shall inform such party whether or not the Note Purchase Contracts have been terminated. 

SECTION 10.10 Currency Indemnity. 

(a) U.S. Legal Tender is the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Company under or in connection with the
Contingent Convertible Units or this Agreement, including damages. To the greatest extent permitted under applicable law, any amount received or recovered in currency other than U.S. Legal Tender in respect of the Contingent Convertible Units
(whether as a result of, or of the enforcement of, a judgment or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the winding-up or dissolution of the Company or otherwise) by any Holder in respect of any sum
expressed to be due to it from the Company shall only constitute a discharge of them under the Contingent Convertible Units and this Agreement only to the extent of the U.S. Legal Tender amount which the recipient is able to purchase with the amount
so received or recovered in that other currency on the date of that receipt or recovery (or, if it is not practicable to make that purchase on that date, on the first date on which it is practicable to do so). To the greatest extent permitted under
applicable law, if that U.S. Legal Tender amount is less than the U.S. Legal Tender amount expressed to be due to the recipient under the Contingent Convertible Units or this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the recipient
against any loss or cost sustained by it in making any such purchase to the greatest extent permitted under applicable law. For the purposes of this Section 10.10, it will be sufficient for the Holder to certify that it would have
suffered a loss had an actual purchase of U.S. Legal Tender been made with the amount so received in that other currency on the date of receipt or recovery (or, if a purchase of U.S. Legal Tender on such date had not been practicable, on the first
date on which it would have been practicable). 
 (b) The indemnities of the Company contained in this Section 10.10, to the
extent permitted by law: (i) constitute a separate and independent obligation from the other obligations of the Company under this Agreement and the Contingent Convertible Units; (ii) shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of
action against the Company; (iii) shall apply irrespective of any waiver granted by any Holder, the Note Purchase Contract Agent or the Collateral Agent from time to time; (iv) shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any
other judgment, order, claim or proof of claim for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due under the Notes or this Indenture or any other judgment or order; and (v) may not be enforceable under Mexican law. 

SECTION 10.11 Incorporation by Reference. 

In connection with its execution and performance hereunder the Note Purchase Contract Agent is entitled to all rights, privileges,
protections, immunities, benefits and indemnities provided to them under the Note Purchase Contract Agreement.

USA PATRIOT ACT. 
 The parties hereto acknowledge that, in accordance with Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of
Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “USA Patriot Act”), the Securities Intermediary, like all financial institutions, is required to obtain, verify, and
