be) of the Bank is located, (iii) all other taxes imposed by any jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority of such jurisdiction or

action taken by the Issuer and (iv) any taxes, levies, imposts, deductions or withholdings to the extent the same arise by reason of the Banks failure to be a Registered Financial Institution, unless an Event of Default shall have

existence or conduct of business in such Additional Taxing Jurisdiction, then all references to Mexico under this section Taxes will be deemed to also include such Additional Taxing Jurisdiction and any political subdivision
thereof.

If the Issuer shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes or any present or future taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges or withholdings excluded above, including all interest, penalties or other liabilities with respect thereto, imposed or levied at any time, from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or the Security Documents or
in respect thereof to the Bank, (a) with respect to Taxes, the Issuer shall pay such additional amounts (Additional Amounts) as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions for Taxes (including deductions
applicable to Additional Amounts payable under this Clause 7.2) the Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) the Issuer will make such deductions, (c) the Issuer will pay the
full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law before penalties are payable or interest accrues thereon, and (d) if any such penalties are payable or interest accrues, the Issuer shall
make payment thereof when due to the appropriate governmental authority and, after each such payment of taxes (including any penalties or interest thereon), the Issuer shall promptly and in any event within 60 days of such payment deliver to the
Bank an official receipt or a certified copy thereof evidencing such payment.

|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | ----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (a) | any Interest Period that would otherwise end on a day that is not a Business Day shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless such Business Day
falls in another calendar month, in which case such Interest Period shall end on the next preceding Business Day;
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar
month at the end of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period; and
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | no Interest Period shall extend beyond February 1, 2010 (the Maturity Date).

months, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Interest Determination Date for such Interest Period, divided (and rounded, if necessary, upward to the next whole multiple of 1/16 of 1%) by a percentage equal to 100% minus the then stated maximum rate
of all reserve requirements, if any (including, without limitation, any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserves) applicable on the Interest Determination Date for such Interest Period to (i) any member bank of the United

their offered quotations for deposits in dollars, for a period of three months and in an amount substantially equal to the outstanding principal amount of all Notes outstanding, to prime lenders in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00
a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR shall be calculated using the average of such quotations, and divided (and rounded, if necessary, upward to the next whole multiple of 1/16
of 1%) by a percentage equal to 100% minus the then stated maximum rate of all reserve requirements, if any (including, without limitation, any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserves) applicable on such Interest Determination
Date to (i) any member bank of the United States Federal Reserve System in respect of Eurocurrency liabilities (as defined in Regulation D) or (ii) any lender lending from a lending office in a member state participating in the European

the Reference Banks that deposits in dollars are not offered to the Reference Banks in the London interbank market for such Interest Period, LIBOR for such Interest Period shall be LIBOR as determined for the immediately preceding Interest Period.

|2.2 | If any amount due on this Note is improperly withheld or refused or default is otherwise made in the payment thereof, interest shall accrue on such amount
(as well after as before any judgment) at the rate of two per cent (2%) per annum above the rate specified in Clause 2.1 until the date on which the relevant payment is made.

|4. | TAXATION
|-- | --------



|4.1 | Any and all payments by the Issuer under this Note or in respect thereof shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future
taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all interest, penalties or other liabilities with respect thereto, imposed or levied at any time, excluding (i) in the case of the Holder, taxes imposed or measured by its income
or capital by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority of such jurisdiction or any organization or federation of which such jurisdiction is at any time a member) under the laws of which the Holder is organized, (ii) in
the case of the Holder, taxes imposed on or measured by its income or capital by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority of such jurisdiction or any organization or federation of which such jurisdiction is at any time a
member) in which the principal place of business or residence (as the case may be) of the Holder is located, (iii) all other taxes imposed by any jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority of such jurisdiction or any
organization or federation of which such jurisdiction is at any time a member) outside Mexico except such taxes which arise as a result of the Holder holding the Note, receiving payments thereunder or enforcing payment thereunder or as a result of
action taken by the Issuer and (iv) any taxes, levies, imposts, deductions or withholdings to the extent the same arise by reason of the Holders failure to be a Registered Financial Institution, unless an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing at the time of such payment (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being herein called Taxes). In the event that a Successor Company (as defined
under Section 5.17.1) is organized and existing, or conducts business, under the laws of any jurisdiction (an Additional Taxing Jurisdiction) other than Mexico or any political subdivision thereof and, as a result, is
required by the law of such Additional Taxing Jurisdiction to deduct or withhold any amount on account of taxes imposed by such Additional Taxing Jurisdiction from payments hereunder, as the case may be, which would not have been required to be so
deducted or withheld but for such organization, existence or conduct of business in such Additional Taxing Jurisdiction, then all references to Mexico under this section Taxation will be deemed to also include such Additional
Taxing Jurisdiction and any political subdivision thereof.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|4.2 | If the Issuer shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes or any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings excluded
above, including all interest, penalties or other liabilities with respect thereto, imposed or levied at any time, from or in respect of any sum payable under this Note or in respect thereof to the Holder, (a) with respect to Taxes, the Issuer
shall pay such additional amounts (Additional Amounts) as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions for Taxes (including deductions applicable to Additional Amounts payable under this Section (a)) the Holder
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) the Issuer will make such deductions, (c) the Issuer will pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in
accordance with applicable law before penalties are payable or interest accrues thereon, and (d) if any such penalties are payable or interest accrues, the Issuer shall make payment thereof when due to the appropriate governmental authority
and, after each such payment of taxes (including any penalties or interest thereon), the Issuer shall promptly and in any event within 60 days of such payment deliver to the Holder an official receipt or a certified copy thereof evidencing such
payment.

Offer Excess Proceeds at a price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the purchase date. To the extent that the Offer Excess Proceeds are more than the aggregate purchase
price for the Notes tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may use such excess for general corporate purposes. If the aggregate purchase price for the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by holders
thereof exceeds the amount of Notes which can be purchased with the Offer Excess Proceeds, Notes to be purchased will be selected on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Offer Excess Proceeds shall be reset to
zero.

|8.2 | The currency in which this Note is denominated (the Contractual Currency) is the sole currency of account and payment for all sums
payable by the Issuer in respect of this Note, including damages. Any amount received or recovered in a currency other than the Contractual Currency (whether as a result of, or of the enforcement of, a judgment, order of a court of any jurisdiction

irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Holder and shall continue in full force and effect despite any other judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due in respect of this Note or any other judgment or
order. Any such loss aforesaid shall be deemed to constitute a loss suffered by the Holder and no proof or evidence of any actual loss will be required by the Issuer.
