 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Representations, the parties
hereto agree to the following: 
 CLAUSES 

Clause First. Creation of the Pledge. 

(a) In order to secure the due and prompt satisfaction of any of the Obligations (including any obligations under the Hedging Agreements
(as defined in the Credit Agreement)), each Pledgor, respectively, hereby grants in favor of the Pledgee for its own benefit and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a first priority duly perfected pledge of, and security interest in, all of its
rights and title in and to the Pledged Partnership Interests, the entry made in the partners’ registry book of the Company representing the Pledged Partnership Interests, and in and to all dividends, distributions (whether in cash, in kind, in
other partnership interest or in any other form), cash, instruments, shares and other property from time to time received, receivable, payable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of each Pledgor’s interest in
such Pledged Partnership Interests and all proceeds of the foregoing (collectively, the “Collateral”). 
 (b)
For purposes of perfecting the pledge and security interest created hereunder, as required by Article 334, Section III of the LGTOC, on the date hereof, each Pledgor delivers to the Pledgee, a copy of the entry in the partners’ registry book
(libro de registro de socios) of the Company, containing a notation duly certified by the Secretary of the Board of Managers and a notary public stating that the Pledged Partnership Interests have been pledged in favor of the Pledgee
hereunder. 
 (c) Each Pledgor agrees to file this Agreement for registration with the Registry of Guaranties on Movable Assets
(as defined below) within fifteen (15) business days after the date on which such registry starts operating (with such extensions as the Pledgee may grant in its sole discretion) and shall obtain and deliver to the Pledgee written confirmation,
in terms satisfactory to the Pledgee, of the registration of this Agreement with the Registry of Guaranties on Movable Assets, within one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days from the date of its filing before the Registry of Guaranties on
Movable Assets (with such extensions as the Pledgee may grant in its sole discretion). “Registry of Guaranties on Movable Assets” means the guaranty section in the public registry of commerce corresponding to the corporate domicile
of the Pledgors, pursuant to the provisions of the amending decree upon which certain provisions to the Commerce Code are added (Decreto por el que se reforman y adicionan algunas disposiciones del Código de Comercio) as published in
the Official Daily Gazette of the Federation on August 27, 2009. 
 Clause Second. Receipt of the Pledged Partnership
Interests. 
 The Pledgors and the Pledgee hereby agree that the execution of this Agreement constitutes the
acknowledgment of receipt by the Pledgee of a copy of the entry in the partners’ registry book (libro de registro de socios) of the Company evidencing the Pledged Partnership Interests, as set forth in Article 337 of the LGTOC.

  

 6 








 Clause Third. Voting Rights. 

(a) Unless an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) has occurred and is continuing, each Pledgor, respectively, shall be
entitled to exercise all voting rights pertaining to its Pledged Partnership Interests for a purpose not inconsistent with the terms of the Loan Documents. 

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of each Pledgor, respectively, to exercise the
voting and other corporate rights that it would otherwise be entitled to pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Pledgee, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise or
refrain from exercising such voting and other corporate rights, in accordance with, but not be limited to, Article 338 of the LGTOC. For such purposes, each Pledgor shall grant to the Pledgee an irrevocable power-of-attorney in terms of Article 2596
of the Federal Civil Code and its correlatives for the other States of Mexico and the Federal District, in order to allow the Pledgee to exercise such voting rights over the Pledged Partnership Interests in the terms provided in Exhibit
B hereto, which original notarized power-of-attorney shall be delivered to the Pledgee on the date hereof. The granting of such power of attorney, shall be noted in the partners’ registry book (libro de registro de socios) of the
Company. 
 The Pledgee shall not be held responsible for the exercise of the voting rights pursuant to the foregoing. The
exercise of the voting rights set forth herein by the Pledgee shall not impair the exercise of any other rights and remedies of the Pledgee provided in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or in applicable law. 

Clause Fourth. Distributions.  

(a) Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Pledgor shall have the right to receive any dividends and other
distributions (whether in cash, in kind, in other partnership interest or in any other form) paid or made in respect of its Pledged Partnership Interests. All distributions made in respect of or in exchange of the Pledged Partnership Interests in
any form other than cash, before or after an Event of Default, shall become a part of the Collateral hereunder and, if received by the Pledgors, shall forthwith be delivered to the Pledgee (together with, if appropriate, proper instruments of
assignment, notations on the relevant registries and/or powers executed by each Pledgor as applicable) to be held in pledge hereunder, subject to the terms of this Agreement. 

(b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any and all dividends and other
distributions on the Pledged Partnership Interests (whether in cash, in kind, in additional partnership interest or in any other form); and any and all cash or other property received in exchange for or in respect of any Pledged Partnership
Interests shall be and become part of the Collateral and, if received by the Pledgor, shall forthwith be delivered to the Pledgee (together with, if appropriate, proper instruments of assignment, notations on the relevant registries and/or powers
executed by each Pledgor as applicable) to be held in pledge hereunder, subject to the terms of this Agreement. 
  

 7 








 Clause Fifth. Term. 

The pledge created hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement) has
occurred, except to the extent a Disposition (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Partnership Interests is permitted by the Loan Documents. The number of the Pledged Partnership Interests subject to this Agreement shall not be reduced,
notwithstanding the partial payment of the Obligations. 
 Clause Sixth. Covenants of each Pledgor. 

Until the Termination Date has occurred, each Pledgor shall: 

(a) Abstain from Disposing (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or pledging or otherwise encumbering, diminishing or impairing its rights

or into affiliated entities of the Borrower, and (ii) the Pledgors and the Company may change their organizational form to the extent permitted by the Loan Documents (in which case, the instruments evidencing the participation of the equity of
the Company or of any company in which the Company merges or consolidates with shall be subject to the pledge hereunder). 
 (b)
Abstain from taking any action or omitting to take any action (other than any action or omission permitted by the Loan Documents) which may result in a substantial decline in the value of the Collateral or which may otherwise have a material adverse
effect on the Collateral. 
 (c) Exercise voting rights or refrain from exercising any voting rights or permit the Pledgee to
exercise such voting rights, in accordance to Clause Third above. 
 (d) Notify the Pledgee in writing of any increase or
decrease of its participation or dilution in the corporate capital of the Company. 
 (e) Promptly deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Pledgee upon the subscription (whether directly or indirectly through any Subsidiary (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or Affiliate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or in any other manner) and payment of any capital increase
in the capital stock of the Company, or upon the payment of a dividend or distribution in partnership interest paid by the Company, a copy of the entry in the partners’ registry (libro de registro de socios) of the Company containing the
notation evidencing that 
  

 8 








 
such partnership interest have been pledged in favor of the Pledgee, certified by the Secretary of the Board of Managers of the Company and a notary public. Any such partnership interests pledged
pursuant to this paragraph (e) shall be deemed “Pledged Partnership Interest” and be part of the Collateral. 

(f) At any time, and from time to time, at the expense of the Pledgors, promptly execute and deliver further instruments and documents,
and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Pledgee may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the security interest granted hereby, or to enable the Pledgee to exercise its rights and remedies hereunder.

 Clause Seventh. Novation, Modification, etc. 

Neither the execution of this Agreement, nor the pledge and security interest contemplated herein shall constitute any novation,
modification or payment of the Obligations. 
 The Pledgee hereby waives its right to request the sale of the Collateral under
Article 340 of the Negotiable Instruments Law, provided that such right shall be immediately in effect and reinstated after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

Clause Eighth. Enforcement. 

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Pledgee may enforce, at the expense of the Pledgor, the pledge granted
hereunder, following the appropriate procedures available under Mexican law. 
 (b) Proceeds resulting from the enforcement of
the Pledgee’s rights and remedies hereunder shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.7 of the Credit Agreement. 

(c) The failure by the Pledgee to exercise any of the rights set forth in this Agreement, shall in no event have the effect of a waiver
of any of them, nor shall the single or partial exercise by the Pledgee of a right resulting from this Agreement, shall exclude any other right, authority or privilege. 

Clause Ninth. Indemnity and Expenses. 

(a) Each of the Pledgors, jointly and severally, agrees to pay or reimburse the Pledgee and the Secured Parties any and all reasonable and
documented fees, costs and expenses, of any kind or nature, incurred in connection with the creation, preservation and protection of the pledge created hereunder. Each such Pledgor also agrees that in case the Obligations are not timely complied
with, such Pledgor shall pay any and all reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses of any kind or nature incurred by the Pledgee or the Secured Parties in connection with (i) the enforcement and foreclosure of the pledge on the
Collateral, whether by judicial or extrajudicial proceedings, or (ii) any actions, demands, claims or proceedings arising from or relating to the Collateral. 

 

 9 








 (b) Each of the Pledgors, jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Pledgee, the Secured Parties and their respective Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities
and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of
(including, without limitation, in connection with any litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated herein, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss,
liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith (culpa grave, dolo o mala fe). In the
case of litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Clause Ninth applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such litigation or proceeding is brought by any Secured Party, its directors, partners shareholders or
creditors or any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. 

Clause Tenth. Counterparts; Language. 

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (whether by facsimile of otherwise but if by facsimile, with the original
signed signature pages being promptly sent to the Pledgee (and the Pledgee is hereby authorized to incorporate such pages into bound originals)) and by the parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall

any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Spanish version shall prevail.
