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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

to satisfy its obligations under the Note Purchase Contracts forming a part of the Contingent Convertible Units and (ii) the enforcement of this Section 10.7;

(c) all transfer, stamp, documentary or other similar taxes, assessments or charges levied by any governmental or revenue authority in respect

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.
