Agreement shall include the feminine and masculine wherever appropriate. Certain terms used herein are defined in Section 25 hereof.

The Securities will be secured in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, by a first-priority security interest in the Collateral, but holding a Security will not grant its holders the
right to direct the foreclosure or the right to foreclose on the Collateral.

The sale of the Securities to the Initial Purchasers will be made without registration of
the Securities under the Act in reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements of the Act.

In connection with
the sale of the Securities, the Company has prepared a preliminary offering memorandum, dated January 4, 2011 (as amended or supplemented at the date thereof, including any and all exhibits thereto and any information incorporated by reference

therein, the Final Memorandum). Each of the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum sets forth certain information concerning the Company and the Securities. The Company hereby confirms that it has authorized the use of the
Disclosure Package, the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum, and any amendment or supplement thereto, in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers. Unless stated to the contrary, any references herein
to the terms amend, amendment or supplement with respect to the Disclosure Package, the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum shall be deemed to refer to and include any information filed under the
Exchange Act subsequent to the Execution Time that is incorporated by reference therein.

by the Company or any Initial Purchaser of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.

For
the purposes of this provision, the expression an offer to the public in relation to any Securities in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and

State; and the expression Prospectus Directive means Directive 2003/71/EC (and amendments thereto, including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State) and includes any relevant implementing
measure in each Relevant Member State; and the expression 2010 PD Amending Directive means Directive 2010/73/EU.

(a) The Company will furnish to each Initial Purchaser and to counsel for the Initial Purchasers, without charge, during the

(b) The Company will prepare a final term sheet, containing solely a description of final terms of the Securities and the offering
thereof, in the form approved by you attached as Schedule II hereto (the Final Term Sheet).

(c) The Company will
not amend or supplement the Disclosure Package or the Final Memorandum other than by filing documents under the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference therein, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, which consent,
following the Closing Date, may not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that prior to the earlier of (i) the completion of the distribution of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers (as determined by the Representatives
and communicated to the Company) and (ii) twelve (12) months after the date of the Final Memorandum (the Distribution Period), the Company will not file any document under the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in
the Disclosure Package or the Final Memorandum unless, prior to such proposed filing, the Company has furnished the Representatives with a copy of such document for their review and the Representatives have not reasonably objected to the filing of
such document. The Company will promptly advise the Representatives when any document filed under the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package or the Final Memorandum shall have been filed with the Commission.

(d) If at any time during the Distribution Period, any event occurs as a result of which the Disclosure Package or the Final
Memorandum, as then amended or supplemented, would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary



13



---

to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made or the circumstances then prevailing, not misleading, or if it should be necessary to amend or
supplement the Disclosure Package or the Final Memorandum to comply with applicable law, the Company will promptly (i) notify the Representatives of any such event; (ii) subject to the requirements of Section 5(c), prepare an
amendment or supplement that will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance; and (iii) supply any supplemented or amended Disclosure Package or Final Memorandum to the several Initial Purchasers and counsel for the Initial
Purchasers without charge in such quantities as they may reasonably request.

(e) Without the prior written consent of the
Representatives, the Company and each of the Note Guarantors will not give to any prospective purchaser of the Securities any written information concerning the offering of the Securities other than materials contained in the Disclosure Package, the
Final Memorandum or any other offering materials prepared by or with the prior written consent of the Representatives.

(f)
The Company will arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Securities for sale by the Initial Purchasers under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate (including Japan and certain provinces of Canada) and will
maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the sale of the Securities; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any
action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the Securities, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject. The Company will promptly advise the Representatives of the
receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

(g) As required under Article 7 of the Mexican Securities Market Law (Ley del Mercado de Valores), the Company will, no later than
one Business Day after the Closing Date, notify the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores) of the offering of the Securities as described herein and in the Disclosure Package and in
the Final Memorandum.

(h) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to, resell any Securities that have
been acquired by any of them, except for Securities resold after the 40-day distribution compliance period within the meaning of Rule 903 of Regulation S, (i) in a transaction registered under the Act or (ii) in a transaction
exempt from the registration requirements under the Act if such transaction does not cause the holding periods under Rule 144 under the Act to be extended for other holders of Securities.

(i) None of the Company, its Affiliates, or any person acting on its or their behalf will, directly or indirectly, make offers or sales
of any security, or solicit offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require the registration of the Securities under the Act.

(j) None of the Company, its Affiliates, or any person acting on its or their behalf will engage in any directed selling efforts (within the meaning of Regulation S) with respect to the Securities; and
each of them will comply with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S.



14



---

(k) None of the Company, its Affiliates, or any person acting on its or their behalf will
engage in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with any offer or sale of the Securities in the United States.

(l) For so long as any of the Securities are outstanding and are restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3)
under the Act, the Company, during any period in which it is not subject to and in compliance with Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or it is not exempt from such reporting requirements pursuant to and in compliance with Rule 12g3-2(b)
under the Exchange Act, will provide to each holder of such restricted securities and to each prospective purchaser (as designated by such holder) of such restricted securities, upon the request of such holder or prospective purchaser, any
information required to be provided by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act. This covenant is intended to be for the benefit of the holders, and the prospective purchasers designated by such holders, from time to time of such restricted securities.

(m) The Company will cooperate with the Representatives and use its best efforts to permit the Securities to be eligible for
clearance and settlement through The Depositary Trust Company (DTC), Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (Euroclear) and Clearstream Banking, S.A. (Clearstream), as applicable, and any other relevant clearing system.

(n) Each of the Securities will bear, to the extent applicable, the legend contained in Transfer Restrictions in
the Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum for the time period and upon the other terms stated therein.

(o)
Neither the Company nor any of the Note Guarantors will, for a period of 90 days following the Execution Time, without the prior written consent of BAML and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, offer, sell,
contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash
settlement or otherwise) by the Company or any of the Note Guarantors or any person in privity with the Company or any of the Note Guarantors, directly or indirectly, or announce the offering of, any debt securities in the international capital
markets that are issued or guaranteed by the Company or any of the Note Guarantors (other than the Securities). Provided, however, that the foregoing will not restrict the ability of the Company or any of the Note Guarantors to offer, sell, contract
to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of or announce an offering in the international capital markets of debt securities convertible into shares, or Ordinary Participation Certificates (Certificados de Participación Ordinaria) or
American Depositary Shares of the Company, an offering of securities, the proceeds of which are used to fund the repurchase or retirement of the Companys perpetual debentures, an offer to exchange new securities for the Companys
perpetual debentures, an offering of certificados bursátiles in the local Mexican market and to enter into securitization transactions.

(p) The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to, or that has constituted or that might reasonably be expected to, cause or result, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, in
stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.



15



---

(q) The Company will, for a period of twelve months following the Execution Time, furnish to
the Representatives (i) all reports or other communications (financial or other) generally made available to its shareholders, and deliver such reports and communications to the Representatives as soon as they are available, unless such
documents are furnished to or filed with the Commission or any securities exchange on which any class of securities of the Company is listed and generally made available to the public and (ii) such additional information concerning the business
and financial condition of the Company as the Representatives may from time to time reasonably request (such statements to be on a consolidated basis to the extent the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries are consolidated in reports
furnished to its shareholders).

(r) The Company will comply with all applicable securities and other laws, rules and
regulations, including, without limitation, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and use its best efforts to cause the Companys directors and officers, in their capacities as such, to comply with such laws, rules and regulations, including, without
limitation, the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

(s) The Company and the Note Guarantors agree, jointly and severally,
to pay the costs and expenses relating to the following matters: (i) the preparation of the Indenture and the issuance of the Securities and the fees of the Trustee; (ii) the preparation, printing or reproduction of the materials contained
in the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum and each amendment or supplement to either of them; (iii) the printing (or reproduction) and delivery (including postage, air freight charges and charges for counting and packaging) of such
copies of the materials contained in the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum, and all amendments or supplements to either of them, as may, in each case, be reasonably requested for use in connection with the offering and sale of the
Securities; (iv) the issuance and delivery of the Securities; (v) any stamp or transfer taxes in connection with the original issuance and sale of the Securities; (vi) the printing (or reproduction) and delivery of this Agreement, any
blue sky memorandum and all other agreements or documents printed (or reproduced) and delivered in connection with the offering of the Securities; (vii) any registration or qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under the securities
or blue sky laws of the several states, Japan, the provinces of Canada and any other jurisdictions specified pursuant to Section 5(f) (including filing fees and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Initial Purchasers relating to
such registration and qualification); (viii) the transportation and other expenses incurred by or on behalf of each of the Companys representatives in connection with presentations to prospective purchasers of the Securities;
(ix) the fees and expenses of the Companys accountants and the fees and expenses of counsel (including local and special counsel) for the Company; (x) fees and expenses incurred in connection with listing the Securities on the Irish
Stock Exchange; (xi) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the rating of the Securities by Standard & Poors and Fitch Ratings; and (xii) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance by the Company of
its obligations hereunder.

(t) The Company and the Note Guarantors agree, jointly and severally, to reimburse the
Representatives, on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, for all their reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the sale of the Securities provided for herein (including, without limitation, reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of legal
advisors as to U.S. and Mexican law for the Initial Purchasers). The reimbursement obligations of the Company in respect of the legal advisors as to U.S. and Mexican law for the Initial Purchasers pursuant to this



16



---

Section 5(t) and Section 7 hereof will be limited to U.S.$325,000.00 (excluding reimbursements in respect of disbursements and expenses of such legal advisors).

(u) The Company will apply the aggregate net proceeds from the offering of the Securities in the manner specified in the Disclosure
Package and the Final Memorandum under the heading Use of Proceeds.

6. Conditions to the Obligations of the
Initial Purchasers. The obligations of the Initial Purchasers to purchase the Securities shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and the Note Guarantors contained herein at the Execution Time and the

(f) The Company shall have requested and caused Arthur Cox, special Irish counsel for the Company, to furnish such opinion or opinions,
dated the Closing Date, providing, among other related matters as the Representatives may reasonably require, that the issuance and sale of the Securities as provided in the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum,



17



---

constitutes a public offering under the laws of the Republic of Ireland, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they request for the purpose of enabling them to
pass upon such matters; provided, however, that, prior to the delivery of such opinion on the Closing Date, BAML and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC agree to furnish a representation letter to Arthur Cox to the effect that the initial purchasers have
offered the Securities to at least five persons within the Republic of Ireland.

(g) The Representatives shall have received
from Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP and Ritch Mueller, S.C., counsel for the Initial Purchasers, such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Representatives, with respect to the issuance and sale of the
Securities, the Indenture, the Disclosure Package, the Final Memorandum (as amended or supplemented at the Closing Date) and other related matters as the Representatives may reasonably require, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel
such documents as they request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.

(h) The Company and each Note

(j) Any and all applicable amendments, supplements or modifications to the Financing Agreement, any of the Transaction Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and any other documents derived

(l) Subsequent to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Disclosure Package (exclusive of
any amendment or supplement thereto) and the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), there shall not have been (i) any change, increase or decrease specified in the letter or letters referred to in paragraph
(i) of this Section 6; or (ii) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries
taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any



18



---

amendment or supplement thereto), the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, so material and adverse as
to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

(m) The Securities shall be eligible for clearance and settlement through DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, as applicable, and any other

reissuance of the outlook of a rating agency that was in place at the Execution Time shall not be considered a notice of an intended or potential decrease in a rating.

(o) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have furnished to the Representatives such further information, certificates and documents as the Representatives may reasonably request.

If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any

Initial Purchasers hereunder may be cancelled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by the Representatives. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.

The documents required to be delivered under this Section 6 will be delivered at the office of counsel for the Initial Purchasers,
at Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, One Liberty Plaza, New York, New York, 10006, Attention: Duane McLaughlin, Esq., on the Closing Date.

7. Reimbursement of Expenses. If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Initial Purchasers set forth in Section 6
hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 10 hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by
reason of a default by any of the Initial Purchasers, the Company will reimburse the Initial Purchasers severally through BAML and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC on demand for all expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that
shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities.

8. Indemnification
and Contribution. (a) The Company and the Note Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, the directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and agents of each Initial Purchaser and each
person who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act



19



---

against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other U.S. federal or state
statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities or actions in respect thereof arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Term Sheet, the Final Memorandum, any Issuer Written Information, or any other written information, including any electronic road show, used by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the
offer or sale of the Securities, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any of the Note Guarantors will be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises
out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Term Sheet or the Final Memorandum, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability
that the Company or any of the Note Guarantors may otherwise have.

(b) Each Initial Purchaser severally, and not jointly,
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity to each
Initial Purchaser, but only with reference to written information relating to such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the Preliminary
Memorandum or the Final Memorandum (or in any amendment or supplement thereto). This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that any Initial Purchaser may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that (i) the statements set
forth in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Securities and (ii), under the heading Plan of Distribution, (A) the table of Initial Purchasers, and (B) the eighth and ninth paragraphs in the Disclosure
Package and the Final Memorandum constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers for inclusion in the Disclosure Package or the Final Memorandum or in any amendment or supplement thereto.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such
indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party
(i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and
defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be
entitled to appoint counsel (including local counsel) of the indemnifying partys choice at the indemnifying partys expense



20



---

to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any
separate counsel, other than local counsel if not appointed by the indemnifying party, retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the
indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying partys election to appoint counsel (including local counsel) to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including
local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with
a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal
defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and/or other indemnified parties; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to
represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party.
If none of the conditions in clauses (i) through (iv) in the preceding sentence are satisfied as to any indemnified party, it is understood that the indemnifying party shall, in connection with any one such action be liable for the
reasonable fees and expenses of only one separate firm of attorneys in each jurisdiction (and in addition to any local counsel) at any time (other than reasonable overlapping of engagements) for all such indemnified parties. An indemnifying party
will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or
contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all
liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include any statement as to any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8 is unavailable to, or insufficient
to hold harmless, an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Initial Purchasers severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection
with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action) (collectively Losses) to which the Company and one or more of the Initial Purchasers may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Initial Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Securities; provided, however, that in no case under this paragraph (d) shall any Initial Purchaser be
responsible for any amount in excess of the purchase discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Initial Purchaser hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason,
the Company and the Initial Purchasers severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other in
connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the



21



---

Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be
equal to the total purchase discounts and commissions. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Initial Purchasers on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or
omission. The Company and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty
of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee, Affiliate and agent of an Initial
Purchaser shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each person who controls the Company and the Note Guarantors within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each officer and director of the Company
and the Note Guarantors shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Note Guarantors, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

9. Default by an Initial Purchaser. If any one or more Initial Purchasers shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities
agreed to be purchased by such Initial Purchaser hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Initial Purchasers shall be obligated severally to
take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the
remaining Initial Purchasers) the Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate principal amount of Securities which the
defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Initial Purchasers shall have the right to purchase
all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such non-defaulting Initial Purchasers do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser
or the Company. In the event of a default by any Initial Purchaser as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives and the Company shall determine in
order that the required changes in the Final Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser of its liability, if any, to the Company or any
non-defaulting Initial Purchaser for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

10. Termination. This Agreement
shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such time (i) trading in securities generally on the
Mexican Stock Exchange (Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, S.A.B. de C.V.) or the New York



22



---

Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on either such exchange; (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by
Mexican, U.S. federal or New York State authorities; or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by Mexico or the United States of a national emergency or war or other calamity or crisis the effect
of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final
Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The
respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company, the Note Guarantors or their respective officers and of the Initial Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full
force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers or the Company or the Note Guarantors or any of the indemnified persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment

13. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors
and the indemnified persons referred to in Section 8 hereof and their respective successors, and, except as expressly set forth in Section 5(l) hereof, no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

14. Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto agrees that any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in any State or U.S. federal court in The City of New York and County of New York and in the courts of its own domicile in respect of actions brought against such party as a
defendant, and waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, action or proceeding and waives the right to any other
jurisdiction that it may be entitled to by reason of its present or future domicile or other reason. The Company and each of the Note Guarantors hereby appoints Corporate Creations Network Inc., 1040 Avenue of the Americas #2400, New York, NY 10018,
U.S.A.; fax: (561) 694-1639; telephone: (212) 382-4699, as its authorized agent (the Authorized Agent) upon whom process may be served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated herein that may be instituted in any of such courts. Each of the parties appointing the Authorized Agent as provided herein hereby represents and warrants that the Authorized Agent has accepted such appointment and has
agreed to act as said agent for service of process, and the Company agrees to take, and have each of the Note Guarantors take, any and all action, including the

execution and filing of any and all documents that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent shall be
deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon each of the Company and the Note Guarantors.

15.
Integration. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company and the Initial Purchasers, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

16. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York
applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York.

17. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

18. No Fiduciary Duty. Each of the Company and the Note Guarantors hereby acknowledges that (a) the purchase and sale of the
Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arms-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Note Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers and any Affiliates through which they may be acting, on the other,
(b) the Initial Purchasers are acting as principal and not as an agent or fiduciary of the Company or the Note Guarantors and (c) each of the Companys and the Note Guarantors engagement of the Initial Purchasers in connection
with the offering and the process leading up to the offering is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, each of the Company and the Note Guarantors agrees that it is solely responsible for making its own judgments in
connection with the offering (irrespective of whether any of the Initial Purchasers has advised or is currently advising the Company or the Note Guarantors on related or other matters). Each of the Company and the Note Guarantors agrees that it will
not claim that the Initial Purchasers have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Company or the Note Guarantors, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

19. Currency. Each reference in this Agreement to U.S. dollars (the relevant currency), including by use
of the symbol U.S.$, is of the essence. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the obligation of the parties in respect of any amount due under this Agreement will, notwithstanding any payment in any other currency (whether pursuant to
a judgment or otherwise), be discharged only to the extent of the amount in the relevant currency that the party entitled to receive such payment may, in accordance with its normal procedures, purchase with the sum paid in such other currency (after
any premium and costs of exchange) on the Business Day immediately following the day on which such party receives such payment. If the amount in the relevant currency that may be so purchased for any reason falls short of the amount originally due,
the obligated party will pay such additional amounts, in the relevant currency, as may be necessary to compensate for the shortfall. Any obligation of the obligated party not discharged by such payment will, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, be due as a separate and independent obligation and, until discharged as provided herein, will continue in full force and effect.

20. Waiver of Immunity. To the extent that the Company or any of the Note Guarantors
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 and each of the Note Guarantors hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement.

21. Waiver of Tax Confidentiality. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, purchasers of the Securities (and each
employee, representative or other agent of a purchaser) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of any transaction contemplated herein and all materials of any kind
(including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the purchasers of the Securities relating to such U.S. tax treatment and U.S tax structure, other than any information for which nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to comply
with applicable securities laws.

22. Taxes. Each payment of fees or other amounts due to the Initial Purchasers under
this Agreement shall, except as required by applicable law, be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction. If any taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any such payment, the Company
and the Note Guarantors shall, jointly and severally, pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Initial Purchasers after such withholding or deduction is equal to the amount that the
Initial Purchasers would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

(ii) U.S.$1,067,665,000 aggregate principal amount of 9.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2020 and 115,346,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 issued by CEMEX España, acting through its Luxembourg

|(7) | Under MFRS C-12, the Optional Convertible Subordinated Notes represent a compound instrument, which has a liability component and an equity component. The liability
component amounted to U.S.$622 million as of September 30, 2010 and U.S.$614 million at issuance. The equity component, which represents a premium over the option of the bond holders to convert into equity, was recognized within Other
equity reserves and amounted to U.S.$101 million (see note 20 and 12A to the Issuers unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2010 included in the Offering Memorandum). If the conversion option is
exercised, this amount will be reclassified as additional paid-in capital, and if the option expires with no exercise, the equity component will be reclassified as retained earnings.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(8) | Under MFRS, the Mandatory Convertible Securities issued in Mexico on December 10, 2009 in exchange for CBs represent a combined instrument with liability and
equity components. The liability component, which was approximately Ps2.1 billion and Ps2.1 billion as of December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2010, respectively, corresponds to the net present value of interest payments due under the
Mandatory Convertible Securities, assuming no early conversion, and was recognized under Other Financial Obligations in the Issuers balance sheet. The equity component, which was approximately Ps2.0 billion and Ps2.0 billion as of
December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2010, respectively, represents the difference between principal amount and the liability component, and was recognized within Other equity reserves net of commissions in the Issuers
balance sheet. See note 12A to the Issuers unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2010 included in the Offering Memorandum and notes 13A and 17B to the Issuers consolidated financial statements
included in the Issuers annual report for the year ended December 31, 2009. In 2009, the Mandatory Convertible Securities were accounted for as debt for U.S. GAAP purposes. See note 25 to the Issuers consolidated financial
statements included in the Issuers annual report for the year ended December 31, 2009.

|(9) | Issued by special purpose vehicles. In accordance with MFRS, these securities are accounted for as equity due to the fact that they do not have a specified maturity
date and the Issuers option to defer payment of interest. However, for purposes of the Issuers U.S. GAAP reconciliation, we record these Debentures as debt and interest payments thereon as part of financial expenses in the Issuers
consolidated income statement.

|(10) | As used in this table, total capitalization equals Short and Long-term debt plus the Mandatory Convertible Notes plus Total stockholders equity.

Notice to Prospective Investors in the European Economic Area

In relation to each member state of the European Economic Area that has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a relevant
member state), each initial purchaser has represented and agreed that with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that relevant member state, it has not made and will not make an offer of Notes
which are subject of the offering contemplated by the offering memorandum to the public in that relevant member state other than:



| |  |  | to any legal entity which is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | to fewer than 100 or, if the relevant member state has implemented the relevant provision of the 2010 PD Amending Directive, 150 natural or legal
persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive), as permitted under the Prospectus Directive, subject to obtaining the prior consent of the representatives for any such offer; or
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



---

| |  |  | in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive,
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

provided that no such offer of Notes shall require the Issuer or any initial purchaser to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of
the Prospectus Directive.

Each purchaser of Notes described in the offering memorandum located within a relevant member state
will be deemed to have represented, acknowledged and agreed that it is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive.

For the purposes of this provision, the expression an offer of Notes to the public in relation to any Notes in any relevant member state means the communication in any form and by any means of
sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the Notes, as the same may be varied in that relevant member state by any measure implementing the
Prospectus Directive in that relevant member state; and the expression Prospectus Directive means Directive 2003/71/EC (and amendments thereto, including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the relevant member
state), and includes any relevant implementing measure in the relevant member state; and the expression 2010 PD Amending Directive means Directive 2010/73/EU.

The sellers of the Notes have not authorized and do not authorize the making of any offer of Notes through any financial intermediary on their behalf, other than offers made by the initial purchasers with
a view to the final placement of the Notes as contemplated in the offering memorandum. Accordingly, no purchaser of the Notes, other than the initial purchasers, is authorized to make any further offer of the Notes on behalf of the sellers or the
initial purchasers.

* * *

This communication is intended for the sole use of the person to whom it is provided by the sender.

This notice shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the notes in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale
would be unlawful. The notes will be offered to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and to non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions outside the United States in accordance with
Regulation S thereunder. The notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements.

The information in this term sheet supplements the Companys preliminary offering memorandum, dated
January 4, 2011 (the Preliminary Memorandum) and supersedes the information in the Preliminary Memorandum to the extent inconsistent with the information in the Preliminary Memorandum. This term sheet is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Preliminary Memorandum. Terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings as set forth in the Preliminary Memorandum.

ANY DISCLAIMERS OR OTHER NOTICES THAT MAY APPEAR BELOW ARE NOT APPLICABLE TO THIS COMMUNICATION AND SHOULD BE DISREGARDED. SUCH DISCLAIMERS OR OTHER NOTICES WERE AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED AS A RESULT OF
THIS COMMUNICATION BEING SENT VIA BLOOMBERG OR ANOTHER EMAIL SYSTEM.

participating creditors, Citibank International PLC, as administrative agent, and Wilmington Trust (London) Limited, as security agent (the Security Agent);

(g) an executed copy of the security trust agreement (contrato de fideicomiso de garantía) entered into among (i) the Company, CEMEX México, Empresas Tolteca de México,
S.A. de C.V., Impra Café, S.A. de C.V., Interamerican Investments, Inc. and Centro Distribuidor



---

de Cemento, S.A. de C.V., as settlors; (ii) CEMEX México, Centro Distribuidor de Cemento, S.A. de C.V., Mexcement Holdings, S.A. de C.V. and Corporación Gouda, S.A. de C.V., as
issuers; (iii) Banco Nacional de México, S.A., Integrante del Grupo Financiero Banamex, División Fiduciaria, as trustee; and (iv) the Security Agent (the Mexican Security Trust); and

(h) the documents executed and delivered by each of the Company and the Note Guarantors at the closing pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the further qualifications set forth below, I am of the opinion that:

1. Each of the Company and CEMEX México has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation under the
laws of Mexico, with full corporate power and authority to own or lease, as the case may be, and to operate their properties and conduct their businesses as described in the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum and to execute and deliver, and
to perform its obligations under, the Transaction Documents and any transaction contemplated thereunder.

2. All the
outstanding shares of capital stock of each of the Company and CEMEX México has been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, and, except as otherwise set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Final
Memorandum, all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Subsidiaries are owned by the Company either directly or through wholly owned subsidiaries free and clear of any perfected security interest and, to the knowledge of such counsel, after due
inquiry, any other security interest, claim, lien or encumbrance.

3. Each of the Transaction Documents to which each of the
Company and CEMEX México is a party, has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and CEMEX México, respectively, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement, enforceable against the Company and CEMEX
México, respectively, in accordance with its terms.

4. The Mexican Security Trust creates in favor of the Security
Agent, for the benefit of holders of the Securities, valid security interests in the Collateral for the payment of the Securities.

5. Neither the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, nor the consummation of any other of the transactions therein contemplated, nor the fulfillment of the terms thereof will conflict with,
result in a breach or violation of, or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or asset of any of the Company or CEMEX México pursuant to, (i) the charter or by laws (estatutos sociales) of any of the
Company or CEMEX México; (ii) the terms of any indenture, contract, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement, loan agreement or other agreement, obligation, condition, covenant or instrument to which each of the Company and CEMEX
México is a party or bound or to which their property is subject; or (iii) any statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree applicable to the Company or CEMEX México of any court, regulatory body, administrative
agency, governmental body,



---

arbitrator or other authority having jurisdiction over the Company or CEMEX México or any of their respective properties.

6. No consent, approval, authorization, filing with, order of, notice to, or qualification with any Mexican governmental or regulatory
authority or court is required for the execution, delivery and performance by each of the Company and CEMEX México of the Purchase Agreement, the Indenture, the issuance and sale of the Securities, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated therein, except for the notice to be given to the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores), on or before the Closing Date, under Article 7 of the Securities Market Law,
in respect of the issuance of the Securities.

7. The choice of New York state law as the governing law of the Purchase
Agreement, the Indenture, and the Securities, is legal, valid and binding to each of the Company and CEMEX México under the laws of Mexico and there is no reason why the courts of Mexico would not give effect to the choice of New York law as
the proper law of the Purchase Agreement, the Indenture, and the Securities; each of the Company and CEMEX México has the legal capacity to sue and be sued in its own name under the laws of Mexico; each of the Company and CEMEX México
has the power to submit, and has irrevocably submitted, to the jurisdiction of the New York courts and each of the Company and CEMEX México has validly and irrevocably appointed Corporate Creations Network Inc. as its authorized agent under
the laws of Mexico for service of process under the Purchase Agreement, the Indenture and the Securities; the irrevocable submission of each of the Company and CEMEX México to the jurisdiction of the New York courts and the waivers by each of
the Company and CEMEX México of any immunity and any objection to the venue of the proceeding in a New York court in the Purchase Agreement, in the Indenture, and in the Securities, are legal, valid and binding under the laws of Mexico and
there is no reason why the courts of Mexico would not give effect to such submission and waivers; and the courts in Mexico will recognize as valid and final, and will enforce, any final and conclusive judgment against each of the Company and CEMEX
México obtained in a New York court arising out of or in relation to the obligations of each of the Company and CEMEX México under the Purchase Agreement, the Indenture, or the Securities, without re-examination of the issues pursuant
to Articles 569 and 571 of the Mexican Federal Code of Civil Procedure and Article 1347A of the Mexican Commerce Code, which provide, inter alia, that any judgment rendered outside of Mexico may be enforced by Mexican Courts, provided
that:



| | (i) | such judgment is obtained in compliance with (a) all legal requirements of the jurisdiction of the court rendering such judgment, and (b) all legal
requirements of the relevant Transaction Documents;
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | such judgment is not rendered in a real action (acción real);
| | ---- | -------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | such judgment is final, non-appealable and authenticated by the appropriate governmental authorities, and is strictly for the payment of a certain sum
of money, provided that, under Mexican Monetary Law, payments that should be made in Mexico in foreign currency, whether by agreement or upon a
| | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



---

| | judgment of a Mexican Court, may be discharged in Mexican currency at a rate of exchange for such currency prevailing at the time of payment;
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iv) | the court rendering such judgment is competent to render such judgment in accordance with applicable rules under international law and such rules are compatible with
the rules adopted under the Mexican Code of Commerce;
| | ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (v) | service of process was made personally on the Company and CEMEX México, as applicable, or on an appropriate Process Agent of the Company and CEMEX México,
as applicable;
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (vi) | such judgment does not contravene Mexican public policy or laws (and we have no reason to believe that a judgment based upon the Transaction Documents would contravene
Mexican public policy);
| | ---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (vii) | the applicable procedure under the laws of Mexico with respect to the enforcement for foreign judgments (including the issuance of a letter rogatory by the competent
authority of such jurisdiction requesting enforcement of such judgment and the certification of such judgment as authentic by the corresponding authorities of such jurisdiction in accordance with the laws thereof) is complied with;
| | ----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (viii) | the courts of such jurisdiction recognize the principles of reciprocity in connection with the enforcement of Mexican judgments in such jurisdiction; and
| | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ix) | the cause of action in connection with which such judgment is rendered is not the same cause of action between the same parties that is pending before a Mexican court.
| | ---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8. Except as described in the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum, with respect to non-residents of
Mexico, no stamp or other issuance or transfer taxes or duties and no capital gains, income, withholding or other taxes are payable by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers to Mexico or to any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or
therein in connection with the sale and delivery by the Company of the Securities as contemplated in the Purchase Agreement to the Initial Purchasers, the sale and delivery by the Initial Purchasers of the Securities as contemplated in the Purchase
Agreement or the entering into or performance of the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

9. Other than as described in the
Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum, under the current laws and regulations of Mexico, all payments of principal, premium (if any) and interest on the Securities may be paid, if applicable, by each of the Company and CEMEX México to
the registered holder thereof in U.S. dollars (that may be obtained through conversion of Mexican Pesos) that may be freely transferred out of Mexico, and all such payments and other distributions made to holders of the Securities who are
non-residents of Mexico, will not be subject to Mexican income, withholding or other taxes under the laws and regulations of Mexico and are otherwise free and clear of any other tax, duty



---

withholding or deduction in Mexico and without the necessity of obtaining any governmental authorization in Mexico.

10. It is not necessary in order to enable the Initial Purchasers, the Trustee or the holders of the Securities to exercise or enforce its rights under the Purchase Agreement, the Indenture or the
Securities in Mexico or by reason of the entry into and/or the performance of the Purchase Agreement and the Indenture, that the Initial Purchasers should be licensed or qualified to do business in Mexico. The Initial Purchasers and the non-Mexican
holders of the Securities will not be deemed resident, domiciled, carrying on business or subject to taxation in Mexico solely by reason of the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Purchase Agreement.

11. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum, there is no pending or, to the best of my knowledge,
threatened action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries or its or their property that is not adequately disclosed in the Disclosure
Package and the Final Memorandum, except in each case (A) for such proceedings that, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would not singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; and (B) (i) the
statements in the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum under the headings Important Federal Tax Considerations and Description of Notes; and (ii) the statements in the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum
under the heading Recent DevelopmentsRecent Developments Relating to Regulatory Matters and Legal Proceedings, taken together with the statements in the Companys annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31,
2009 under the heading Regulatory Matters and Legal Proceedings, incorporated by reference therein; fairly summarize the matters therein described.

12. There is no reason to believe that the Disclosure Package, as amended or supplemented at the Execution Time, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (in each case, other than the financial statements and other financial information contained therein, as to which I
express no opinion).

13. There is no reason to believe that the Final Memorandum, as of its date or on the Closing Date,
contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (in each case, other
than the financial statements and other financial information contained therein, as to which I express no opinion).

I express
no opinion as to any laws other than the laws of Mexico. In rendering my opinion, I have relied, (i) as to matters governed by United States Federal and New York law, upon the opinion of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP
delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and (ii) as to matters of fact, on certificates of responsible officers of each of the Company and CEMEX México and public officials that are furnished to the Initial Purchasers.

This opinion is subject to the following qualifications:

a. Enforcement of the Transaction Documents may be limited by concurso mercantil, bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation,
reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally;

b. Labor claims, claims of tax
authorities for unpaid taxes, social security quotas, workers housing fund quotas, retirement fund quotas, as well as claims from secured or privileged creditors, will have priority over claims of the parties to, or in connection with, the
Purchase Agreement, the Indenture and the Securities;

c. In the event that proceedings are brought in Mexico seeking
performance of the obligations of the Company or CEMEX México in Mexico, pursuant to the Mexican Monetary Law, such entity may discharge its obligations by paying any sums due in a currency other than Mexican currency, in Mexican currency at
the rate of exchange prevailing in Mexico on the date when payment is made;

d. In the event that any legal proceedings are
brought in the courts of Mexico, a Spanish translation of the documents required in such proceedings prepared by a court-approved translator would have to be approved by the court after the defendant has been given an opportunity to be heard with
respect to the accuracy of the translation, and proceedings would thereafter be based upon the translated documents;

e. In
the event of foreclosure of the Mexican Security Trust, the purchaser or purchasers of any transferred shares of a Mexican entity may require the approval of each of the Mexican Competition Commission (Comisión Federal de Competencia)
and the Mexican Foreign Investment Commission (Comisión Nacional de Inversiones Extranjeras);

f. Claims may
become barred under the statutes of limitation, which are not waivable under Mexican law, or may become subject to defenses or set-off or counterclaim;

g. A Mexican court may stay proceedings held in such court if concurrent proceedings are being held elsewhere;

h. Under the laws of Mexico, the obligations of a guarantor are not independent from, and may not exceed, the obligations of the main obligor;

i. With respect to the provisions contained in each of the Transaction Documents in connection with service of process, it should be
noted that service of process by mail does not constitute personal service of process under Mexican law and, since such service is considered to be a basic procedural requirement, if for purposes of proceedings outside Mexico service of process is
made by mail, a final judgment based on such process would not be enforced by the courts of Mexico; and

j. An obligation to
pay interest on interest may not be enforceable in Mexico.

This opinion is furnished only to you as representative of the
Initial Purchasers and is solely for the Initial Purchasers benefit in connection with the closing occurring today



---

and the offering of the Securities, in each case pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Without my prior written consent, this opinion may not be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to
for any other purpose or relied upon by, or assigned to, any other person for any purpose, including any other person that acquires any Securities or that seeks to assert your rights in respect of this opinion (other than an Initial Purchasers
successor in interest by means of merger, consolidation, transfer of a business or other similar transaction), except that The Bank of New York Mellon may rely upon this opinion in its capacity as trustee under the Indenture and that Skadden, Arps,
Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP may rely upon this opinion as to matters of the laws of the Mexico in rendering their opinion pursuant to Section 6(a) of the Purchase Agreement.
