THIS THIRD SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, dated as of February 24, 2020 (the “Third Supplemental
Indenture”), is by and among New Sunward Holding Financial Ventures B.V., as issuer (the “Company”), CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V., a publicly traded variable stock corporation (sociedad anónima bursátil de capital
variable) organized under the laws of Mexico (“CEMEX”), and New Sunward Holding B.V. (“New Sunward”), as guarantors, and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

 
 WHEREAS, the Company, CEMEX, New Sunward, CEMEX México, S.A. de C.V. (“CEMEX México”) and the Trustee heretofore executed and delivered the Indenture, dated as of December
18, 2006 (the “Original Indenture”), with respect to the U.S. $900,000,000 Callable Perpetual Dual-Currency Notes (the “Securities”); and

 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the Original Indenture, the Company issued and the Trustee authenticated and delivered the Securities, which Securities are guaranteed by each of CEMEX, New Sunward and CEMEX
México; and
  

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 901 of the Original Indenture, the Company, CEMEX, New Sunward, CEMEX
México and the Trustee entered into the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 10, 2009 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), in order to secure the Securities; and

 
 WHEREAS, the Company, CEMEX, New Sunward, CEMEX México, the Trustee, Swap 10 Capital (SPV) Limited and C10 Capital (SPV) Limited entered into the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of
May 12, 2010 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture,” and the Original Indenture, as so amended by the First Supplemental Indenture and the Second Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), to amend the Original Indenture for
such changes contained in the Second Supplemental Indenture, approved by a majority of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Securities and a majority of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount (by aggregate liquidation
preference) of the Debentures;
  

WHEREAS, on November 13, 2019, CEMEX entered into a merger agreement pursuant to which CEMEX and certain
of its Subsidiaries organized and existing under the laws of Mexico (the “Mexican Subsidiaries”), including CEMEX México, agreed that each of the Mexican Subsidiaries would, effective as of December 1, 2019, merge with and into
CEMEX (each of such mergers, a “Merger,” and, collectively, the “Mergers”), with CEMEX as the surviving entity of each Merger. In accordance with Mexican law, each Merger shall become effective against third parties three
months after the date of filing of the corresponding merger deed with the Mexican Public Register of Commerce (Registro Público de Comercio), which for the Merger of CEMEX México with and into CEMEX is expected to be March 9,
2020. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Mergers is effective against third parties as of the date hereof, and all of them are currently expected to become effective before the end of the first quarter of 2020; and

 
 WHEREAS, Section 801 of the Original Indenture provides that in the event that a Guarantor or any other person, as applicable, shall consolidate with or merge into another Guarantor, such other
Guarantor shall expressly agree to indemnify each Holder (and each holder of a beneficial interest in a Security) against any tax, levy, assessment or governmental charge payable by withholding or deduction thereafter imposed on such Holder (or
holder of a beneficial interest in the Securities) solely as a consequence of any Merger with respect to payments in respect of the Securities or any purchase thereof by the Company or any Guarantor, or the Successor of any thereof; and
