Subsidiary Approvals). As a part of the TMM Stockholder Approval, TMM, as holder owning all (but
one) of the shares of TMMH entitled to vote, will be irrevocably instructed to irrevocably vote all

PriceWaterhouseCoopers, provided by GTFM to KCS, fairly presents in all material respects all
adjustments necessary to reflect the presentation of such financial statements on a U.S. GAAP

equity). (c) As of the date of this Agreement, neither GTFM nor any of the GTFM Subsidiaries has

or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. (c) The Board of Directors of KCS (the KCS Board) has approved this Agreement, the Ancillary
Agreements, and the Acquisition contemplated herein, including the issuance of more than 15% of the

amend the KCS Stockholder Rights Plan so that the acquisition of the KCS Common Stock pursuant to
this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
the Ancillary Agreements will not constitute a trigger event under the KCS Stockholder Rights
Plan. To the best of KCSs Knowledge, except for Section 203 of the Del. G.C.L., no control share,
anti-takeover or similar statute under the laws of any state in the United States is applicable to
the acquisition of KCS Common Stock contemplated hereby and by the Ancillary Agreements. -26-

misrepresentation in, or breach of any representation or warranty regarding GTFM or its
Subsidiaries, except for the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.7, 5.11 and
5.21, shall be limited to 51% of Losses and then only to the extent such 51% of Losses amount to,
in the aggregate, $5 million or more; provided, that for the purpose of computing this limitation
on Sellers indemnification obligations, (i) Losses shall be computed without regard to whether
such Losses resulted in a GTFM Material Adverse Effect (i.e., if a representation or warranty is
qualified by GTFM Material Adverse Effect or words of similar import and, giving effect to any such
qualification, there has been a breach of such representation or warranty, then the computation of
Losses as a result of such breach shall take effect of the full amount of such Losses and not
solely the amount that exceeded an amount that resulted in a GTFM Material Adverse Effect), (ii)
Losses shall exclude all Losses with respect to any single matter where the amount of the Losses
arising out of such matter is less than $50,000 (provided, that in computing such amount, all
matters arising out of the same set of facts or substantially the same set of facts shall be
aggregated), (iii) to the extent that the calculation of Losses depends, in whole or in part, on
any matters relating to the financial statements of any member of the GTFM Group, such calculation
shall be made exclusively by reference to IFRS and to financial statements prepared in accordance
with IFRS, and (iv) Losses which could be subject to the limitations of this subsection (b) but
which also constitute Losses that are not subject to such limitations, shall be deemed not subject
to the limitations in this subsection (b). (c) Any claim against Sellers for indemnification for Losses (except for those relating to
Taxes, or the matters referred to in Sections 10.2(a)(iii), (iv) and (v) and any Losses arising out
of or resulting from any action or omission on the part of any Seller or its Affiliate that
involved a crime, fraud or willful misconduct,) shall be satisfied exclusively out of, and the
maximum aggregate liability of all the Sellers for such Losses shall be limited to, the assets held
in the Indemnity Escrow; provided, at KCSs election, any claim against Sellers for indemnification
for Losses may be satisfied from assets remaining in the Indemnity Escrow. Any claim for
indemnification against the assets in the Indemnity Escrow, unless such claim is not contested by
TMM, shall be made by KCS by instituting arbitration proceedings in accordance with the dispute
resolution procedures set forth in Section 12.11; provided, no more than two (2) such arbitration

harmless Sellers, each of their Subsidiaries and each of their respective officers, directors,
alternate directors, employees, members, stockholders, agents and representatives (Seller
Indemnitees) from and against all Losses resulting from, arising out of, or due to, directly or
indirectly, any inaccuracy or misrepresentation in, or breach of, any representation or warranty of
KCS contained in Article 6, in any schedule or exhibit delivered hereunder by KCS or in any
certificates delivered by KCS pursuant to this Agreement, or any breach or nonfulfillment of any
covenant of KCS contained in this Agreement, in any schedule or exhibit delivered hereunder by KCS
or in any certificates delivered by KCS pursuant to this Agreement, or any claims, causes of
actions, rights asserted or demands made by any third parties (including any Governmental
Authority) arising from or relating to any of the foregoing. (b) KCSs indemnification obligations under this Article 10 shall be limited to Losses which
amount to, in the aggregate, $10 million or more, provided that for the purpose of computing this
limitation or KCSs indemnification obligations, Losses shall be calculated without regard to
whether such Losses involved a KCS Material Adverse Effect (i.e., if a representation or warranty
is qualified by KCS Material Adverse Effect or words of similar import and, giving effect to any
such qualification, there has been a breach of such representation or warranty, then the
computation of Losses as a result of such breach shall take effect of the full amount of such
Losses and not solely the amount that exceeded an amount that resulted in a KCS Material Adverse
Effect). The limitation set forth in the first sentence of this Section 10.3(b) shall not be
applicable to any Losses arising out of or resulting from any action or omission on the part of KCS
or its Affiliate that involved a crime, fraud or willful misconduct. Losses shall also exclude all
Losses with respect to any single matter where the amount of the Losses arising out of such matter
are less than $50,000 (provided, that in computing such amount, all matters arising out of the same
set of facts or substantially the same set of facts shall be aggregated). (c) Any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 10 by a Seller Indemnitee other
than TMM shall be brought only by and through TMM and not directly by such other Seller Indemnitee. Section 10.4 Procedures for Third-Party Claims. (a) In order for a Person (the Indemnified Party) to be entitled to any indemnification
provided for under Section 10.2 or 10.3 in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim made by
any Person (other than another Party or its Affiliate) against the Indemnified Party (a
Third-Party Claim), such Indemnified Party must notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
Third-Party Claim promptly (but in any event not later than the second Business Day in the case -55-

##### 



of any litigation, arbitration or other adversary proceedings) following receipt by such
Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to
give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent
the indemnifying party shall have been actually materially prejudiced (including with respect to
the defense of such Third Party-Claim) as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified
Party shall deliver to the indemnifying party, as promptly as practicable following the Indemnified
Partys receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by
the Indemnified Party relating to the Third-Party Claim that are not separately addressed to the
indemnifying party. (b) If a Third-Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the indemnifying party shall
be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense
thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party; provided, however, that such counsel is
not reasonably objected to by the Indemnified Party. Should the indemnifying party so elect to
assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the
Indemnified Party for any reasonable legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party
in connection with the defense thereof. If the indemnifying party assumes such defense, the
Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel,
at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the indemnifying party, it being
understood that the indemnifying party shall control such defense; provided, however, that the
indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel (i) if the
Parties to any such action or proceeding (including impleaded parties) include other Parties and
representation of both Parties would, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnified
Party, be inappropriate due to a conflict of interest, or (ii) if the indemnifying party shall not
have employed counsel (other than counsel that is reasonably objected to by the Indemnified Party)
within a reasonable time after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the institution of a
Third-Party Claim in compliance with Section 10.4(a). The indemnifying party shall be liable for
the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during
which the indemnifying party has not assumed the defense thereof, provided, however, that such
counsel is not reasonably objected to by the indemnifying party. If the indemnifying party chooses
to defend or prosecute a Third-Party Claim, all the Indemnified Parties shall cooperate in the
defense or prosecution thereof at the indemnifying partys expense. Such cooperation shall include
the retention and (upon the indemnifying partys request) the provision to the indemnifying party
of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, and making
employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and
explanation of any material provided hereunder. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a
Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle,
compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the indemnifying partys prior written
consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If the indemnifying party
assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall agree to any settlement,
compromise or discharge of a Third-Party Claim that the indemnifying party may recommend and that
by its terms obligates the indemnifying party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection
with such Third-Party Claim, which -56-

would not otherwise materially adversely affect the Indemnified Party. Section 10.5 Tax Indemnification. (a) Sellers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold each of the KCS Indemnitees
harmless from and against 51% of all Taxes and associated penalties, interest and similar charges
of GTFM and the GTFM Subsidiaries relating to periods ending prior to the Closing Date and that
part of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and which exceed the amounts set forth on
the Tax Returns and reports filed by GTFM or its Affiliates for such periods which GTFM or any GTFM
Subsidiary becomes obligated to pay pursuant to this Section 10.5. (b) Sellers indemnification obligations under this Section 10.5 shall not be limited to the
assets held in the Indemnity Escrow or the VAT Escrow; provided, however, that at the election of
KCS, to the extent assets remain in the Indemnity Escrow or the VAT Escrow, Sellers
indemnification obligations may be satisfied therefrom. (c) None of the KCS Indemnitees, GTFM or any GTFM Subsidiaries shall make any payment to any
of the Sellers or any other Person or Persons on account of any adjustment to any Tax item of GTFM
or the GTFM Subsidiaries for any Tax period ending prior to the Closing Date, or any portion of any
Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, regardless of whether any such payments would otherwise
be payable pursuant to any agreement among any of the Sellers, GTFM and the GTFM Subsidiaries or
any other Person or Persons, or pursuant to any provision of Applicable Law relating to Tax
consolidation or otherwise. (d) KCS shall indemnify and hold Sellers harmless from and against all Taxes of GTFM and the
GTFM Subsidiaries for periods beginning after the Closing Date and the portion of any Straddle
Period beginning after the Closing Date, as to which Sellers have no indemnification obligations to
the KCS Indemnitees under this Section 10.5. (e) (i) In the event that any Mexican governmental taxing authority shall assert that Taxes
are due (a Tax Assessment) from GTFM or any GTFM Subsidiary (the GTFM Taxpayer) with respect to
any period covered by Sellers indemnification obligations under this Section 10.5, GTFM shall give
written notice thereof to TMM and shall consult with an advisor chosen by GTFM which is
knowledgeable about Tax Laws of the UMS. (ii) Following such consultation, GTFM shall give written notice to TMM of GTFMs
determination, including the reasons therefor, to pay, contest, or pay and contest the Tax
Assessment. If the Tax Assessment is $10,000 or more, the procedure set forth below in clauses
(iii) through (v) of this Section 10.5(e) shall be followed. For Tax Assessments of less than
$10,000, TMM shall be bound by GTFMs determination, without resort to that procedure or to
arbitration pursuant to Section 12.11. (iii) If TMM disagrees with GTFMs determination, TMM shall advise GTFM in writing within ten
(10) days after the notice from GTFM. Following receipt of a notice of disagreement -57-

##### 



from TMM, GTFM shall promptly consult with one of the advisors identified in Exhibit O (a Selected
Tax Advisor) as to whether GTFMs determination is reasonable from the perspective of the GTFM
Taxpayer. If the Selected Tax Advisor agrees that GTFMs determination was reasonable, then Seller
shall have an indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 10.5 with respect to such matter and
shall pay (or advance, in the case of payment and contest) 51% of the Tax Assessment upon demand
from KCS. (iv) If the Selected Tax Advisor disagrees with GTFMs determination, GTFM may consult
another Selected Tax Advisor. If the second Selected Tax Advisor agrees with GTFMs determination,
then Sellers indemnification obligations shall be as set forth above in subsection (iii). If the
second Selected Tax Advisor disagrees with GTFM, then Sellers indemnification obligations pursuant
to this Section 10.5 with respect to such matter shall arise only when the Tax Assessment is
finally judicially affirmed by a final judgment resolving the complaint (queja) of a constitutional
appeal (amparo) (a Final Tax Resolution) If the Tax Assessment is finally judicially rejected by
a Final Tax Resolution, then any amount of the Tax Assessment paid or advanced by TMM shall be
returned to TMM promptly following receipt thereof by GTFM from the Taxing Authority. (v) The procedure set forth in this Section 10.5(e) shall be the exclusive procedure followed
by the Parties for resolution of disputes among the Parties regarding Tax Assessments, and shall be
in lieu of the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Section 12.11. The Parties shall bear
their own expenses incurred under this Section 10.5(e), except that the fees and expenses of the
Selected Tax Advisors shall be borne by GTFM. ARTICLE 11 DEFINITIONS Section 11.1 Certain Defined Terms.As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have
