(b) The terms and provisions of the Notes, the form of which is in Exhibit A, shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part
of this Indenture, and, to the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. Except as otherwise expressly permitted in this
Indenture, all Notes (including any Additional Notes) shall be identical in all respects. Notwithstanding any differences among them, all Notes issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent together on all matters as one class and are otherwise
treated as a single issue of securities, except as otherwise provided in this Indenture. 
 (c) The Notes may have notations, legends or
endorsements reasonably acceptable to the Company as specified in Section 2.07 or as otherwise required by law, stock exchange rule or DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream rule or usage. The Company shall approve any changes to the form of the Notes

(b) A Note shall not be valid until electronically or manually authenticated by an authorized signatory of the Trustee or an agent appointed
by the Trustee (and reasonably acceptable to the Company) for such purpose (an “Authenticating Agent”). The electronic or manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent on a Note shall be
conclusive evidence that such Note has been duly and validly authenticated and issued under this Indenture. Unless limited by the terms of its appointment, an Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference
in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by an Authenticating Agent. 
 (c) At any time and from time to
time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery Notes upon a written order of the Company signed by an Officer of the Company (the “Authentication Order”). An
Authentication Order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated. 

(d) In case a Successor Issuer has executed an indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.02, any of the Notes
authenticated or delivered prior to such transaction may, from time to time, at the request of the Successor Issuer be exchanged for other Notes executed in the name of the Successor Issuer with such changes in phraseology and form as may be
appropriate, but otherwise identical to the Notes surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon Authentication Order of the Successor Issuer, shall authenticate and deliver Notes as specified in such order for the
purpose of such exchange. If Notes shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a Successor Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.02 in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Notes, such

Company may change the Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and the Registrar without notice to Holders. 
 Section 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money in
Trust(a) . The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of
principal of or interest on the Notes and shall notify the Trustee in writing if the Company fails to make any such payment. If the Company or an Affiliate of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent
and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this
Section 2.04, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or any Affiliate of the Company) shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. Upon any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law with respect to the Company or any
Affiliate of the Company, if the Company or such Affiliate is then acting as Paying Agent, the Trustee shall replace the Company or such Affiliate as Paying Agent. With respect to Certificated Notes, such Notes shall be surrendered to the Paying
Agent by the Holders thereof in order for such Holders to receive principal payment thereon.

(c) Except as provided in clause (iii) of Section 2.07(d), DTC Participants shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect
to any Global Note held on their behalf by DTC or by the Note Custodian under such Global Note, and DTC may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent, the Note Custodian, the Registrar and any of their
respective agents as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall (i) prevent the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent, the Note Custodian, the
Registrar and any of their respective agents from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC or (ii) impair, as between DTC and its DTC Participants, the operation of customary practices of DTC
governing the exercise of the rights of an owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Note. The registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including DTC Participants and Persons that may hold interests
through DTC Participants, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes. 
 (d) Except as provided
below, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes will not be entitled to receive Certificated Notes in exchange for such beneficial interests. 
  

	 	(1)	 Certificated Notes shall be issued to all owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note in exchange for such
interests if (A) DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Note or (B) DTC ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act, at a time when DTC is required to be so
registered in order to act as depositary, and in each case a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice. In connection with the exchange of an entire Global Note for Certificated Notes pursuant to this clause
(1) of this Section 2.7(d), such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and upon an Authentication Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial
owner identified by DTC in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes of authorized denominations, and the Registrar shall register such exchanges in the Note Register.

promptly to all beneficial owners, the Company expressly acknowledges, with respect to the right of any Holder to pursue a remedy pursuant to Section 5.03 hereof, the right of any beneficial owner of Notes to pursue such remedy with respect to
the portion of the Global Note that represents such beneficial owner’s Notes as if such Certificated Notes had been issued. 



(e) In connection with any proposed transfer outside of a book-entry system, there shall be provided to the Trustee all information necessary
to allow the Trustee to comply with any applicable tax reporting obligations, including without limitation any cost basis reporting obligations under Section 6045 of the Code. The Trustee may conclusively rely on the information provided to it

 (h) Applicable Procedures for Delegending. 

 

	 	(1)	 Promptly after one year has elapsed following (A) the Issue Date or (B) if the Company has issued
Additional Notes with the same terms and the same CUSIP number as the Issue Date Notes pursuant to this Indenture within one year following the Issue Date, the date of original issuances of such Additional Notes, if the relevant Notes are freely
tradable pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act by Holders who are not Affiliates of the Company where no conditions of Rule 144 are then applicable (other than the holding period requirement in paragraph (d)(1)(ii) of Rule 144 so long as
such holding period requirement is satisfied), the Company may, at its sole option: 


 (A) instruct the
Trustee in writing to remove the Private Placement Legend from such Notes, and upon receipt of such instruction, the Private Placement Legend shall be deemed removed from any Global Notes representing such Notes without further action on the part of
Holders; 
 (B) notify Holders of such Notes that the Private Placement Legend has been removed or deemed removed; and 

(C) instruct DTC to change the CUSIP number for such Notes to the unrestricted CUSIP number for the Notes. 

 

	 	(2)	 Any Restricted Note (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) as to which such restrictions on
transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms may, upon surrender of such Restricted Note for exchange to the Registrar in accordance with the provisions of Article II of this Indenture, be exchanged for a new Note or Notes, of like
tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the Private Placement Legend. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing upon occurrence of the Resale Restriction Termination Date for any Note. 



 

	 	(3)	 In the case of a Regulation S Global Note, after the Resale Restriction Termination Date of any such Regulation
S Global Note, the Company may, at its sole option: 


 (A) instruct the Trustee in writing to remove the
Private Placement Legend from such Regulation S Global Note (including setting forth the basis for such removal), and upon receipt of such instruction, the Private Placement Legend shall be deemed removed from such Regulation S Global Note without
further action on the part of Holders; and 

  
 23 












 (B) instruct DTC to change the CUSIP number for such Notes to the
unrestricted CUSIP number for the Notes. 
  

	 	(4)	 Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event that Rule 144 as promulgated under the
Securities Act (or any successor rule) is amended to change the one-year holding period thereunder (or the corresponding period under any successor rule), (A) each reference in this Section 2.08(h)
to “one year” and in the Private Placement Legend described in Section 2.08(b) and Exhibit A to “ONE YEAR” shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be references to such changed period, and (B) all
corresponding references in this Indenture (including the definition of Resale Restriction Termination Date), the Notes and the Private Placement Legends thereon shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be references to such changed period;
provided, that such changes shall not become effective if they are otherwise prohibited by, or would otherwise cause a violation of, the then-applicable federal securities laws; provided further
that if such change does not apply to existing Notes, all references to “one year” in this Indenture shall not be deemed for all purposes hereof to be references to such changed period. This Section 2.08(h) shall apply to
successive amendments to Rule 144 (or any successor rule) changing the holding period thereunder 


 (i) No Obligation
of the Trustee or Agents. 
  

	 	(1)	 The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Note,
DTC Participants or any other Persons with respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC or its nominee or of DTC Participants, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any DTC Participant, beneficial
owner or other Person (other than DTC) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other security or property) under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be
given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be DTC or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial
owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through DTC, subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by DTC with respect to its DTC Participants
and any beneficial owners. 



  
 24 













	 	(2)	 The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any
restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among DTC Participants or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to
require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to
form with the express requirements hereof. 


 Section 2.09. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. 

(a) If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully
taken, the Company shall execute, and upon an Authentication Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, a replacement Note for such mutilated, lost or stolen Note, of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not
contemporaneously Outstanding if: 
  

	 	(1)	 the requirements of Section 8-405 of
the Uniform Commercial Code are met, 


  

	 	(2)	 the Holder satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee, and 



 

	 	(3)	 neither the Company nor the Trustee has received notice that such Note has been acquired by a protected
purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code). 



If required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an affidavit of loss and indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the
Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent, the Registrar or any co-Registrar and the Note Custodian from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. 

(b) Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.09, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) in connection therewith. 

(c) Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.09 in exchange for any mutilated Note, or in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen
Note, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company and any other obligor upon the Notes, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled
to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 

  
 25 












 Section 2.10. Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may
execute, and upon an Authentication Order the Trustee will authenticate and make available for delivery, temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers
appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company will prepare and execute, and upon an Authentication Order the Trustee will authenticate and make available for delivery, definitive Notes. After the preparation of definitive
Notes, the temporary Notes will be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at any office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 2.03 for that purpose and such exchange shall be without charge to
the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Company will execute and upon an Authentication Order the Trustee will authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor one or more definitive Notes
representing an equal principal amount of Notes. Until so exchanged, the Holder of temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as a Holder of definitive Notes. 

Section 2.11. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, the Paying Agent and the
Transfer Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its policy of disposal or upon
written request of the Company, return to the Company of all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation for any reason other than in connection with a registration of transfer or exchange upon an Authentication Order. 
 Section 2.12.
Defaulted Interest. Subject to the Company’s right to defer interest payments on the Notes as set forth in Section 2.16, payment of which has not become mandatory under this Indenture, when any installment of interest payable under
the Notes becomes Defaulted Interest, such installment shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders in whose names the Notes were registered on the Record Date applicable to such installment of interest. Defaulted Interest (including any
interest on such Defaulted Interest) may be paid by the Company, at its election, as provided in Section 2.12(a) or (b). 
 (a) The
Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest (including any interest payable on such Defaulted Interest) to the Holders in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such
Defaulted Interest (a “Special Record Date”), which shall be fixed in the following manner: the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid and the date of the proposed
payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such
deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited by the Company to be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this Section 2.12(a). Thereupon the Trustee shall
fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be not more than fifteen (15) calendar days and not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than ten
(10) calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the
proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be sent, first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder at such 

  
 26 












 
Holder’s address as it appears in the Note Register, not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest
and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Holders in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable
pursuant to Section 2.12(b). 
 (b) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted
Interest) in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee
of the proposed payment pursuant to this Section 2.12(b), such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. The Trustee shall in the name and at the expense of the Company cause prompt notice of the proposed payment and the
date thereof to be sent, first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Note Register. 

Section 2.13. Additional Notes. The Company may, from time to time, subject to compliance with any other applicable provisions of this Indenture,
without the consent of the Holders, create and issue pursuant to this Indenture Additional Notes having terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit A identical to those of the other Outstanding Notes, except with respect to: 

 

	 	(1)	 the Issue Date; 


  

	 	(2)	 the amount of interest payable on the first Interest Payment Date therefor; 



 

	 	(3)	 the issue price; and 



 

	 	(4)	 any adjustments necessary in order to conform to and ensure compliance with the Securities Act (or other
applicable securities laws) and any agreement applicable to such Additional Notes, which are not adverse in any material respect to the Holder of any Outstanding Notes (other than such Additional Notes). 



The Issue Date Notes and any Additional Notes shall be treated as a single series for all purposes under this Indenture; provided that such Additional
Notes are either (i) part of the same “issue” as the Issue Date Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (ii) issued pursuant to a “qualified reopening” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or (iii) issued with
a different CUSIP or other similar numbers than the Issue Date Notes to the extent required to comply with securities or tax law requirements, including to permit delegending pursuant to Section 2.08(h). 

(b) With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company will set forth in an Officer’s Certificate of the Company (the “Additional
Note Certificate”), copies of which will be delivered to the Trustee, the following information: 
  

	 	(1)	 the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this
Indenture; 


  

	 	(2)	 the Issue Date and the issue price of such Additional Notes; and 



  
 27 













	 	(3)	 whether such Additional Notes will be subject to transfer restrictions under the Securities Act (or other
applicable securities laws). 


 Section 2.14. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use
“CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers, as applicable (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use for the Notes “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers in notices of redemption to the Holders as a convenience to such
Holders; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any defect in the “CUSIP” or “ISIN” number that appears on any Note, check, advice of payment or redemption
notice, and any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification
numbers printed on the Notes, and any such notice shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any changes in the “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers. 

Section 2.15. Subordination. (a) Upon any liquidation of the Company, (i) all Senior Indebtedness must be paid in full before the
holders of Parity Securities (including the Notes) are entitled to receive or retain any payment in respect thereof, and (ii) the holders of Parity Securities (including the Notes) will be entitled to receive pari passu among themselves
any payment in respect thereof. In any such event, the Notes and any other Parity Securities will be senior to all classes of the Company’s Capital Stock. 

(b) Each Holder (for itself and on behalf of the beneficial owners of the Notes), by purchasing the Notes, whether in connection with the
initial offering of the Notes or a subsequent purchase at a later date, shall be deemed to agree with the Company, for the benefit of all of the Company’s present and future creditors, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law,
(i) to subordinate their rights to collect any amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest due or to become due in respect of the Notes as described in (a) above; (ii) that the Trustee shall be the only party entitled to receive and
distribute amounts paid in respect of the Notes in the event of the liquidation of the Company and (iii) in the event that, in connection with such proceedings, notwithstanding the subordination provisions set forth in clause (i) this
Section 2.15(b), any amount is allocated for payment to the Holders prior to the payment of all of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company, any such amount received by the Trustee will be required to be distributed by the Trustee, on behalf of
the Holders, to the creditors of any of the unsatisfied Senior Indebtedness of the Company as instructed in writing to the Trustee by such creditors of such unsatisfied Senior Indebtedness, subject to proof of claim satisfactory to the Trustee and
if such proof is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. 

(c) To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, if a payment or distribution is made to Holders that, pursuant to this
Section 2.15, should not have been made to them, such Holders shall be required to hold such payment or distribution in trust for the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company to which such distribution should have been made and shall pay
such distributions over to them as their interests may require. 

  
 28 












 (d) The Trustee shall have the exclusive right, to the fullest extent permitted under
applicable law, to file in any Bankruptcy Event or Liquidation Event to which the Company is a party for the recognition of the claims of all Holders. Each Holder hereby irrevocably instructs the Trustee to file, on behalf of such Holder, a claim
for recognition of the claims of all of the Notes in such event. 
 (e) Each Holder hereby irrevocably instructs the Trustee to abstain from
voting during the course of any Bankruptcy Event or Liquidation Event to which the Company is a party in any matter submitted for approval by the general unsecured creditors of the Company in any such proceeding. 

(f) Each Holder by purchasing the Notes, whether in connection with the initial offering of the Notes or a subsequent purchase at a later
date, shall be deemed to waive any right of set-off, counterclaim or combination of accounts with respect to the Notes (or between obligations of the Company regarding the Notes and any liability owed by a
Holder or the Trustee to the Company) that such Holder might otherwise have against the Company. 
 (g) Each Holder by purchasing the Notes
authorizes and directs the Trustee on behalf of such Holder to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as between such Holder and holders of Senior Indebtedness as provided in this Section 2.15, and
appoints the Trustee as its attorney-in-fact for all such purposes. 

(h) The Trustee and each Paying Agent will not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and will not be
liable to any such holders if the Trustee or any Paying Agent pays over or distributes to or on behalf of Holders or the Company or any other person money or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness are then entitled by virtue of this
Section 2.15. 
 (i) The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any facts known to the Company that would cause a payment of any
obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Section 2.15. 
 (j) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.15 or
any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee will not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee or any Paying Agent, and the Trustee and any Paying
Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes, unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee has received at its Corporate Trust Office at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such payment notice by the Company or a representative of
facts that would cause the payment of any obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Section 2.16, except for any acceleration of the Notes prior to making any such payment or distribution which is known by the Trustee prior to
making any such payment or distribution. 
 (k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the fees and expenses of the
Trustee shall not be subordinated in any way. 

  
 29 












 Section 2.16. Deferral of Interest. (a) The Company, in its sole discretion, may defer
payment of interest on the Notes that would otherwise be payable on any Interest Payment Date in whole, or in part. Interest may be so deferred by the Company giving notice of its decision to do so to the Trustee and Holders of such Notes pursuant
to Section 9.01, not less than seven (7) and not more than fourteen (14) Business Days before the applicable Interest Payment Date. If the Company elects not to make any payment of interest on an Interest Payment Date, then the
Company shall have no obligation to do so, and the failure of the Company to pay interest shall not be an event of default or any other breach of the obligations of the Company under the Notes or this Indenture. 

(b) (i) Any and all Deferred Interest shall bear interest as if it constituted principal of the Notes at a rate which corresponds to the
interest rate applicable to the Notes (such further interest together with the Deferred Interest, being “Arrears of Interest”); and (ii) Arrears of Interest shall accrue from the deferred date, and Arrears of Interest shall be
compounded on subsequent Interest Payment Dates, semi-annually, at the rate of interest applicable to the Notes. 
 (c) The Company may
elect, in its sole discretion, to pay Deferred Interest at any time, together with any related Arrears of Interest in whole or in part, with respect to the Notes. If the Company elects to pay such interest, the Company shall give not less than seven
(7) and not more than fourteen (14) Business Days’ notice thereof to the Trustee and the Holders pursuant to Section 9.01. On the payment date specified by the Company in any such notice, all outstanding Deferred Interest and
related Arrears of Interest with respect to the Notes that the Company has elected to pay shall become due and payable. Such notice shall also specify the record date for determining the registered Holders to which such amounts shall be paid. 

(d) The Company shall pay any Deferred Interest and all related Arrears of Interest in respect of the Notes, in whole but not in part, on the
first occurring Mandatory Payment Date following the Interest Payment Date on which such Deferred Interest first arose. The Company shall give notice to the Holders and the Trustee of any Compulsory Arrears of Interest Settlement Event that occurs
while Deferred Interest is outstanding no later than the tenth Business Day preceding the Mandatory Payment Date in relation to the same. Such previously Deferred Interest and related Arrears of Interest shall be paid: in relation to each of clauses
(a), (d) and (e) in the definition of Mandatory Payment Date, to the registered Holders on the date on which such event shall have occurred; in relation to clause (b) in the definition of Mandatory Payment Date, to the Holders of the Notes
being redeemed in whole or repaid; and in relation to clause (c) in definition of Mandatory Payment Date, to the Holders on the Record Date therefor in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

redemption of the Notes shall be rescinded or delayed as provided in such notice. Upon receipt, the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given.

of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof (provided that the unredeemed portion will be in a minimum denomination of at least U.S.$200,000). 
 (b)
For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to redemption of Notes shall relate, in the case of any Note redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of that
Note which has been or is to be redeemed 
 Section 3.13. Unredeemed Portions of Partially Redeemed Note. Upon surrender of a Note that is to be
redeemed in part, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder, at the expense of the Company, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by the Holder, in an
aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Note surrendered. 
 Section 3.14. No
Limitation. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article III, the Company and its Subsidiaries are not prohibited from acquiring the Notes by means other than a redemption, whether pursuant to a tender offer, open market purchase,
private transaction or otherwise. 
 Section 3.15. No Scheduled Maturity. The Notes have no scheduled maturity date.

(a) The Company shall not, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, consolidate or merge with or into any Person (whether or
not the Company is the surviving or continuing Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets (determined on a consolidated basis), to any Person unless:

  

	 	(1)	 the Company shall be the surviving or continuing corporation, or 



 

	 	(2)	 the Person (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the

satisfied, the Company will not have to obtain the approval of the Holders of the majority Notes in order to merge or consolidate or to sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company’s
properties and assets (determined on a consolidated basis). The Company will not need to satisfy these conditions if the Company enters into other types of transactions, including any transaction in which the Company acquires the stock or assets of
another Person, any transaction that involves a Change of Control (but in which the Company does not merge or consolidate) and any transaction in which the Company sells, assigns, transfers, leases, conveys or otherwise disposes of less than all or
substantially all of its properties and assets (determined on a consolidated basis).

	 	(1)	 provide the Trustee and the Holders with: 



(A) annual reports on Form 20-F (or any successor form) containing the information
required to be contained therein (or such successor form) within the time period required under the rules of the Commission for the filing of Form 20-F (or any successor form) by “foreign private

unaudited quarterly financial statements (which shall include at least a balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement) including a discussion of financial condition and results of operations of the Company in accordance with past
practice, within 45 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year; 
 (C) such other
reports on Form 6-K (or any successor form) promptly from time to time after the occurrence of an event that would be required to be reported on a Form 6-K (or any
successor form); and 
  

	 	(2)	 file with the Commission, to the extent permitted, the information, documents and reports referred to in clause
(1) within the periods specified for such filings under the Exchange Act (whether or not applicable to the Company). 



(b) In addition, at any time when the Company is not subject to or is not current in its reporting obligations under clause (2) of
Section 4.03(a), the Company shall make available, upon request, to any Holder and any prospective purchaser of Notes the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act so long as the Notes are not
freely transferable under the Securities Act. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, the Company shall not be
deemed to have failed to comply with any of its obligations in this Section 4.03 until seventy-five (75) days after the date any item under this Section 4.03 is due. 

(d) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 4.03 is for informational purposes only
and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as
to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). 
 Section 4.04. Payment of Additional Amounts. 

(a) All payments made by the Company under, or with respect to, the Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or
deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto) (collectively, “Taxes”) imposed or levied by
or on behalf of any taxing authority in or of the United States, Mexico, any jurisdiction in 

  
 39 












 
which the Company is, or any successor of the Company is, organized (wherein any successor assumes the obligations of the Notes and this Indenture following a consolidation or merger or a
transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and properties), or any other jurisdiction through which payments on the Notes are made (a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the
Company is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the official interpretation or administration thereof. 
 (b) If the Company is
so required to withhold or deduct any amount for, or on account of, such Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to the Notes, the Company shall pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so
that the net amount received by each Holder (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction shall not be less than the amount such Holder would have received if such Taxes had not been required to be withheld or deducted;
provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts does not apply to: 
  

	 	(1)	 any Taxes imposed solely because at any time there is or was a connection between the Holder or beneficial
owner of the Notes, as the case may be, and a Taxing Jurisdiction, including such Holder or beneficial owner being or having been a citizen or resident of such Taxing Jurisdiction or treated as a resident thereof or being or having been physically
present or engaged in a trade or business or having had a permanent establishment therein (other than the mere purchase of the Notes, or receipt of a payment or the ownership or holding of the Notes); 



 

	 	(2)	 any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar Tax imposed with respect to the
Notes; 


  

	 	(3)	 any Taxes imposed solely because the Holder or any other person fails to comply with any certification,
identification or other reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with a Taxing Jurisdiction of the Holder or any beneficial owner of the Note, if compliance is required by the applicable law, regulation or
by an applicable income tax treaty of the Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, the tax, assessment or other governmental charge, and the Company has given the Holders at least thirty
(30) days’ notice that Holders shall be required to provide such information and identification; 


  

	 	(4)	 any Taxes payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments on the Notes; 



 

	 	(5)	 any Taxes that would have been avoided by presenting for payment (where presentation is required) the relevant
Note to another Paying Agent; 



  
 40 













	 	(6)	 any Taxes with respect to such Note presented for payment more than thirty (30) days after the date on
which the payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for and notice thereof given to Holders, whichever occurs later, except to the extent that the Holders of such Note would have been entitled to such
Additional Amounts on presenting such Note for payment on any date during such 30-day period; 


  

	 	(7)	 any payment on the Note to a Holder that is a fiduciary or partnership or a person other than the sole
beneficial owner of any such payment, to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such a partnership or the beneficial owner of the payment would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had the
beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the Holder of the Note; 


  

	 	(8)	 any Taxes withheld or deducted on or in respect of any Note pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S.
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as amended (commonly referred to “FATCA”), any treaty, law, regulation or other official guidance enacted by the United States implementing FATCA, any
agreement between the Company and the United States implementing FATCA pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code, as amended, or any law of any jurisdiction implementing an intergovernmental approach to FATCA; or 



 

	 	(9)	 any combination of the foregoing. 



(c) The obligations in Section 4.45(a) and Section 4.04(b) shall survive any termination or discharge of this Indenture and shall
apply mutatis mutandis to any Taxing Jurisdiction with respect to any successor to the Company. The Company shall (i) make such withholding or deduction and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Taxing
Jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law. The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld from each Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes and
shall furnish such certified copies to the Trustee within thirty (30) days after the date the payment of any Taxes so deducted or so withheld is due pursuant to applicable law or, if such tax receipts are not reasonably available to the
Company, furnish such other documentation that provides reasonable evidence of such payment by the Company. 
 (d) The exception to the
Company’s obligations to pay Additional Amounts pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 4.04(b) will not apply if (i) the provision of information, documentation or other evidence described in such clause would be materially more
onerous, in form, in procedure or in the substance of information disclosed, to a Holder or beneficial owner of a Note than comparable information or other reporting requirements imposed under U.S. tax law, regulation (including proposed
regulations) and administrative practice, or (ii) Article 166, Section II, paragraph a), of the Mexican Income Tax Law (Ley del Impuesto Sobre la Renta) (or 

  
 41 












 
a substitute or equivalent provision) is in effect, unless (A) the provision of the information, documentation or other evidence described in clause (iii) of Section 4.04(b) is
expressly required by the applicable Mexican laws and regulations in order to apply Article 166, Section II, paragraph a), of the Mexican Income Tax Law (or substitute or equivalent provision), (B) the Company cannot obtain the information,
documentation or other evidence necessary to comply with the applicable Mexican laws and regulations on its own through reasonable diligence and (C) the Company would not otherwise meet the requirements for application of the applicable Mexican
laws and regulations. 
 (e) Clause (iii) of Section 4.04(b) does not require, and shall not be construed to require, that any
Holder, including any non-Mexican pension fund, retirement fund, tax-exempt organization or financial institution, register with the Mexican Tax Management Service
(Servicio de Administración Tributaria) or the Mexican Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público) to establish
eligibility for an exemption from, or a reduction of, Mexican withholding taxes. 
 (f) Any reference in this Indenture, any supplemental
indenture or the Notes to principal, premium, interest or any other amount payable in respect of the Notes by the Company shall be deemed to include all Additional Amounts, if any that may be payable with respect to that amount under the obligations
referred to in this subsection. Payment of any Additional Amounts with respect to interest shall be considered as an interest payment under, or with respect to, the Notes. 

(g) In the event that Additional Amounts actually paid with respect to the Notes pursuant to this Section 4.04 are based on rates of
deduction or withholding of withholding taxes in excess of the appropriate rate applicable to the Holder of such Notes, and as a result thereof such Holder is entitled to make a claim for a refund or credit of such excess from the authority imposing
such withholding tax, then such Holder shall, by accepting such Notes, and without any further action, be deemed to have assigned and transferred all right, title and interest to any such claim for a refund or credit of such excess to the Company.
However, by making such assignment, the Holder makes no representation or warranty that the Company shall be entitled to receive such claim for a refund or credit and incurs no other obligation with respect thereto. 

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Company may, to the extent it is required to do so by law,
deduct or withhold income or other similar taxes imposed by the United States of America from principal or interest payments. 
 Section 4.05.
Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out the purpose of this Indenture.

acting in accordance with, and as expressly permitted by, this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and
liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to
Section 6.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or
not any such directions are unduly prejudicial to such Holders); provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action hereunder,
the Trustee shall be entitled to security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability and expense caused by taking or not taking such action.

 Section 5.06. Limitation on Suits. (a) The Trustee will have exclusive right, to the
fullest extent permitted under applicable law, to file in any liquidation, dissolution, winding up, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors, marshaling of assets or any bankruptcy, insolvency, concurso mercantil,
quiebra or similar proceeding to which the Company is a party for the recognition of the claims of all Holders, and Holders will not be permitted to bring their lawsuit or other formal legal action under any of these circumstances. 

(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.15, no Holder shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or
otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes, unless: 

 

	 	(1)	 such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of the event in respect of which the
applicable remedy is being sought; 


  

	 	(2)	 the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have made a written
request that the Trustee take action with respect to the Notes; 


  

	 	(3)	 such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the cost,
expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 


  

	 	(4)	 the Trustee for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has
failed to institute any such action or proceeding; and 


  

	 	(5)	 during those 60 days, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes must not have given the
Trustee directions that are inconsistent with the written request of the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes. 



(c) (1) In no event shall the Company, by virtue of any proceedings or otherwise, be obligated to pay any sum or sums sooner than the same
would otherwise have been payable by the Company and (2) no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture or the Notes (x) to affect, disturb or prejudice
the rights of any other Holder, or (y) to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holder or (z) to enforce any right under this Indenture or the Notes, except as expressly provided in this Article V and for the
equal and ratable benefit of all Holders (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to any Holders). For the protection and enforcement of
the provisions of this Section 5.06, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled, subject to Section 2.15 and this Section 5.06, to such relief as may be granted at law or in equity.

 Section 5.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 5.06), the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal (including Additional Amounts, if any) of or interest on the Notes held by such Holder, subject to the Company’s right to
defer interest payments on the Notes as set forth in Section 2.16, on or after the respective due dates, Redemption Dates or repurchase date expressed in the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such
respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 5.08. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

(a) The Trustee may (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes is then due): 

 

	 	(1)	 file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Trustee and the Holders under this Indenture and the Notes allowed in any Bankruptcy Event or Liquidation Event to which the Company is a party; and 



 

	 	(2)	 collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable in respect of any such claims and
distribute them in accordance with this Indenture. 


 (b) The Trustee shall be entitled and empowered to participate as a
member of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter. Any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, sequestrator, custodian or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments
to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, taxes, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07. 
 (c) Nothing in this Indenture
shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
 Section 5.09. Priorities. If the Trustee collects
any money or property pursuant to this Article V, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order: 
 FIRST: to the Trustee
for amounts due under Section 6.07; 
 SECOND: if the Holders proceed against the Company directly without the Trustee in accordance
with this Indenture, to Holders for their collection costs; 

  
 45 












 THIRD: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal and interest,
ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, respectively; and 

FOURTH: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 5.09. At least five (5) days before such
record date, the Company shall instruct the Trustee to give notice to each Holder that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid. 

Section 5.10. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the
Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the
Trustee, a suit by the Company, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 5.10 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes. 

Section 5.11. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) shall not at any time insist upon,
or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company
(to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 Section 5.12. No Additional Remedies. No remedy against the Company,
other than as referred to in this Article V shall be available to the Holders, whether for the recovery of amounts owing in respect of the Notes or in respect of any other breach by the Company of any of its other obligations under or in respect of
the Notes or this Indenture.

Trustee. 
 (a) If any of the events specified in Section 5.02 has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the

and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provisions
hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 



(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful

Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if the Trustee shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment
of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 (g) Every provision of this Indenture
relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Article VI, and the provisions of this Article VI shall apply to the Trustee in its role as Registrar, Paying

 (i) The Trustee shall be
under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders acting in accordance with, and as expressly permitted by, this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have

Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

 48 












 (i) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any event specified in
Section 5.02 unless written notice of any such event is received by a Trust Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. 

(j) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be

(k) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of Officers authorized
at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any Person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any Person specified as so authorized in any such certificate
previously delivered and not superseded. 
 (l) The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance
of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fires; floods; wars; civil or military disturbances;
sabotage; epidemics; riots, interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications service; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority or governmental actions; it being understood that

 Section 6.06. [Reserved]. 

Section 6.07. Compensation and Indemnity. 

  
 49 












 (a) The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its
acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The
Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, costs of preparing and
reviewing reports, certificates and other documents, costs of preparation and giving of notices to Holders and reasonable costs of counsel retained by the Trustee in connection with the review, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Indenture
or otherwise, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. 

(b) The Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, liability, fees, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by it without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part in connection with the acceptance and administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and
expenses of enforcing this Indenture (including this Section 6.07) and of defending itself against any claims (whether asserted by any Holder, the Company or otherwise). The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it
may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the fees and
expenses of such counsel; provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes the Trustee’s defense, and, in the reasonable judgment of outside counsel to the Trustee, there is no conflict of
interest between the Company and the Trustee in connection with such defense. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct,
negligence or bad faith. 
 (c) To secure the payment obligations of the Company in this Section 6.07, the Trustee shall have a lien
prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes. The Trustee’s right to receive payment of any amounts due under this
Section 6.07 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or indebtedness of the Company. 
 (d) The Company’s obligations
pursuant to this Section 6.07 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of the events specified in Section 5.02 with respect to the
Company, the expenses (including the fees and expenses of its counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law; provided, however, that this shall not affect the Trustee’s right as set forth
in this Section 6.07 or Section 5.09. 
 Section 6.08. Replacement of Trustee. 

(a) The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding
Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Company and the Trustee in writing not less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such removal. The Company shall remove the Trustee if: 

 

	 	(1)	 the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.10; 



  
 50 













	 	(2)	 the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 



 

	 	(3)	 a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 



 

	 	(4)	 the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 



(b) If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes and such
Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. 
 (c) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the
Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall give or send a
notice of its succession to the Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 6.07. 

(d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within thirty (30) days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring
Trustee, the Company or the Holders of 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may petition, at the Company’s expense, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(e) If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.10, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the
Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (f) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 6.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 6.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 Section 6.09.
Successor Trustee by Merger. In case at the time such successor or successors to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any successor to the Trustee
may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any such successor to the Trustee may authenticate such
Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall be valid for purposes of this Indenture. 

Section 6.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a Person organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has, together with its parent,
a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

[Reserved]. 
 Section 7.02. [Reserved]. 

Section 7.03. Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it

interest on the Notes. 
 Section 7.04. Repayment to Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Company upon

tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations.

with this Article VII by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this
Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article VII until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations in
accordance with this Article VII; provided, however, that, if the Company has made any payment of principal of or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of
the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

  
 52 












 Section 7.07. Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be

cancellation; or 


  

	 	(2)	 (x) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason
of the giving of one or more notices of redemption or otherwise (in the case that such Notes have become due and payable as a result of the giving of a notice of redemption, after any conditions precedent to redemption have been satisfied or waived
in writing by the Company), will become due and payable within one year or may be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the
expense, of the Company, and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. Legal Tender, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such
amounts as will be sufficient without reinvestment, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Amounts) on the Notes to the stated date of deposit thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be; provided
that (1) upon any redemption that requires the payment of a Make-Whole Amount, the amount deposited will be sufficient for purposes of the Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the
Trustee equal to the Make-Whole Amount calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit as of the date of redemption only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the
date of redemption and (2) such deficit amount will be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such deficit amount that confirms that such deficit amount will be applied toward such
redemption; and (y) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be;

Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder except as provided in this
Article VIII. An amendment, supplement or waiver shall become effective upon the receipt by Trustee of the requisite number of consents under Section 8.02. 

(b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their
consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date
(or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No
such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date. 
 Section 8.04. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an
amendment or supplement changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Note to deliver such Note to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding the changed terms and return such Note to
the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note, will execute and upon an Authentication Order shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery a new Note
that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment or supplement. 

Section 8.05. Trustee to Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article VIII if
the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be entitled to
receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive, and (subject to Section 6.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 9.04, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel each stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent to the execution of such amendment, supplement or waiver have been complied with. 

Section 8.06. Payment for Consent. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any
consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid
to all Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

 (d) The Trustee shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds
transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant to the Indenture and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that the Company shall provide to the Trustee an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to
provide such Instructions (“Authorized Officers”) and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Company whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If
the Company elects to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Company
understands and agrees that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions, and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the
incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Company shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Company and all Authorized
Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of the applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Company. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or
expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction, except for any such losses, costs
or expenses due to the Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Company agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of
the Trustee acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the
Trustee and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Company; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to
it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Trustee immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures. 

Section 9.02. Communication by Holders with Other Holders. Holders may communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights under this

 (a) an
Officer’s Certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee stating that, in the opinion of the signers, all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied
with; provided, however, that such Officer’s Certificate shall not be given in connection with the original issuance of the Issue Date Notes; and 

  
 58 












 (b) an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee
stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent have been complied with; provided, however that such Opinion of Counsel shall not have been given in connection with the original issuance of the Issue Date
Notes. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel shall be given with respect to the authentication and
delivery of any Issue Date Notes. 
 Section 9.04. Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion. Each certificate or opinion, including an
Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate, with respect to compliance with a covenant or condition provided for in this Indenture shall include substantially:

(b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such

(d) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such individual, such covenant or condition has been complied with. 

In giving an Opinion of Counsel, counsel may rely as to factual matters on an Officer’s Certificate or on certificates of public
officials.

a meeting of Holders. The Registrar, Transfer Agent and Paying Agent may make reasonable rules for their functions. 
 Section 9.06. Legal
Holidays. A “Legal Holiday” is a Saturday, a Sunday or other day on which commercial banking institutions are authorized or required to be closed in New York City or Mexico City. If a payment date is a Legal Holiday, payment

	 	(2)	 waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to
the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that any suit, action or proceeding in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, and the right to any other jurisdiction to which it may be entitled on account of
law, of its present or future place of residence or domicile or for any other reason; 


  

	 	(3)	 irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, action or proceeding;



  

	 	(4)	 agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court shall be conclusive
and binding may be enforced in the courts of the jurisdiction of which it is subject by a suit upon judgment; and 


  

	 	(5)	 agrees that service of process by mail to the addresses specified herein shall constitute personal service of
such process on it in any such suit, action or proceeding. 


 (c) The Company has appointed CEMEX NY Corporation, 590
Madison Avenue, 27th Floor, New York, NY 10022, as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon whom all writs, process and summonses may be served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Indenture
or the Notes which may be instituted in any state or federal court in the City of New York and County of New York. The Company 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 any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents, that may be necessary to continue each such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid so long as the Notes remain
outstanding. The Company agrees that the appointment of the Authorized Agent shall be irrevocable so long as any of the Notes remain outstanding or until the irrevocable appointment by the Company of a successor agent in the City of New York, as its
authorized agent for such purpose and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Company. 

  
 60 












 (d) To the extent that the Company 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 to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Indenture or the Notes. 

(e) Nothing in this Section 9.07 shall affect the right of the Trustee or any Holder to serve process in any other manner permitted by
law. 
 Section 9.08. No Recourse Against Others. An incorporator, director, officer, employee, stockholder or controlling person, as such, of
the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder shall waive
and release all such liability. 
 Section 9.09. Successors. All agreements of the Company in this Indenture and the Notes shall bind its
successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors. 
 Section 9.10. Duplicate and Counterpart
Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture. One signed copy is enough to prove this Indenture. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be an original, but all of
them together represent the same agreement. The exchange of copies of this Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or PDF transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used
in lieu of the original Indenture for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or PDF shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes. 

Section 9.11. Severability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Headings. The table of contents and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not intended to be considered a part hereof and shall not modify or restrict any of the terms
or provisions hereof. 
 Section 9.13. 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 Notes or
this Indenture, including damages. Any amount received or recovered in currency other than U.S. Legal Tender in respect of the Notes (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, any Subsidiary or otherwise) by any Holder in respect of any sum expressed to be due to such Holder from the Company shall only constitute a discharge of them under the
Notes and this Indenture 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). If that U.S. Legal Tender amount is less than the U.S. Legal Tender amount expressed to be due to the 

  
 61 












 
recipient under the Notes or this Indenture, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the recipient, to the greatest extent permitted by law, against any loss or cost sustained by it in
making any such purchase. For the purposes of this Section 9.13, 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 9.13, to the extent permitted by law: (i) constitute a separate and
independent obligation from the other obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes; (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 or the Trustee from time to time; and (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. 
 Section 9.14. U.S.A. Patriot Act. The parties hereto acknowledge that, in accordance with
Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law on October 26, 2001)) (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “USA PATRIOT
Act”), the Trustee, like all financial institutions, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that opens an account. The parties to this Agreement agree that they will provide the
Trustee with such information as the Trustee may request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act.

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE] 

SUBORDINATED HYBRID NOTES 
  

	1.	 Interest. 



Subject to Section 3 hereof and unless previously redeemed or repurchased and cancelled or substituted and varied, CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V.,
a publicly traded variable stock corporation (sociedad anónima bursátil de capital variable) organized under the laws of the United Mexican States (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture, being
referred to herein as the “Company”), promises to pay interest semi-annually on the principal amount of this Note as follows: 
  

	 	(i)	 from and including June 8, 2021 to but excluding September 8, 2026 (or the applicable date of
redemption if redeemed prior to such date), the Notes will bear interest at a rate of 5.125% per annum; 


  

	 	(ii)	 from and including September 8, 2026 to, but excluding, the last day of the applicable Reset Period
specified below (or the applicable date of redemption if redeemed prior to such date), at an interest rate per annum which shall be equal to the applicable Reference Rate of the relevant Reset Period expressed as a percentage plus:



  

	 	i.	 0.25% per annum in respect of Reset Periods commencing on and after September 8, 2026 but before the
Second Step-up Date (as defined below); and 


  

	 	ii.	 1.00% per annum in respect of Reset Periods commencing on and after the Second
Step-up Date. 


 As used herein “Second
Step-up Date” means (i) September 8, 2046, if by August 8, 2026 the Company is assigned an Investment Grade Rating by S&P; and, if not, (ii) September 8, 2046. 

The Company will give notice of the applicable Reference Rate as soon as practicable to each paying agent, the Holders of the Notes and the
Trustee. 
 The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on March 8 and September 8 of each year, commencing
September 8, 2021; provided that if any such Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day or is not a day where banks are open for business in a particular place of payment, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business
Day. There will be a short first interest period, from and including June 8, 2021 to, but excluding, September 8, 2021. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been
paid, from June 8, 2021. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Subject to the Company’s right to defer interest
payments on the Notes as set forth in Section 3, the Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the then applicable
interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (“Defaulted
Interest”), without regard to any applicable grace period, at the same rate to the extent lawful. 

  
 A-5 












 All payments made by the Company in respect of the Notes will be made free and clear of and
without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Taxing Jurisdiction, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. In that event,
the Company will pay to each Holder Additional Amounts as provided in the Indenture subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture. 
  

	2.	 Maturity 



The Notes have no scheduled maturity date. 
  

	3.	 Option to Defer Interest Payments 



The Company, in its sole discretion, may defer payment of interest on the Notes that would otherwise be payable as provided in the Indenture.

  

	4.	 Payment of Deferred Interest 



The Company may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay Deferred Interest at any time, together with any related Arrears of Interest in whole or
in part, with respect to the Notes, as provided in the Indenture. The Company shall pay any Deferred Interest and the related Arrears of Interest, in respect of the Notes, on the first occurring Mandatory Payment Date following the Interest Payment
Date on which such Deferred Interest first arose, as provided in the Indenture. 
  

	5.	 Method of Payment. 



The Company will pay interest on this Note (except Defaulted Interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of this Note at the close of
business on the February 21 or August 24 (each a “Record Date”) next preceding the Interest Payment Date even if Notes are canceled, repurchased or redeemed after the Record Date and on or before the Interest Payment Date.
For the purpose of determining the Holder at the close of business on a regular record date when business is not being conducted, the close of business will mean 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on that day. Holders must surrender this Note to a
Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in U.S. Legal Tender. 
 Prior to 11:00 a.m. New
York City time on the Business Day prior to the date on which any principal of or interest on this Note is due and payable, the Company shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay such principal and/or
interest. Payments in respect of this Note if represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by DTC. Payments on this Note will be made
at the office or agency of the Paying Agent in the United States unless the Company elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their address set forth in the Note Register; provided, however, that payments on
this Note may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least U.S.$1,000,000 

  
 A-6 












 
in aggregate principal amount of Notes, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the City of New York if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by
giving written notice to the Company to such effect designating such account no later than ten (10) Business Days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and
change any Paying Agent, Transfer Agent Registrar or co-Registrar without prior notice to the Holders of this Note. The Company may act as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar. 

 

	7.	 Indenture. 



The Company issued this Note under an Indenture, dated as of June 8, 2021 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time in
accordance with the terms thereof, the “Indenture”), among the Company and the Trustee. The terms of this Note include those stated in the Indenture. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed
thereto in the Indenture. This Note is subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of those terms. Each Holder by accepting a Note agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture, as
amended or supplemented from time to time. 
 This Note is a subordinated unsecured obligation of the Company unlimited in principal amount.
Subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture and without the consent of the Holders, the Company may issue Additional Notes. All Notes will be treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. 

 

	8.	 Optional Redemption. 



The Company may redeem the Notes in the circumstances, in the manner and at the prices described in the Indenture. 

 

	9.	 Sinking Fund.

The Notes are in fully registered form without coupons in denominations of U.S.$200,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof.
A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. In connection with any transfer or exchange, the Company, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or
transfer documents and to pay any Taxes required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company and the Registrar are not required to transfer or exchange any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in


  
 A-7 












 
part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) or to transfer or exchange any Notes from the record date to the due date for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or for a
period of 15 days prior to the giving of a notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed through the Redemption Date, except the unredeemed portion thereof, if any. 
  

	10.	 Persons Deemed Owners. 



The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. 

 

	11.	 Unclaimed Money. 



If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the
Company at its written request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment. 

 

	12.	 Amendment, Waiver. 



Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended (for the provisions thereof waived) with
the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes. 
  

	13.	 Defaults and Remedies. 



There are no defaults or events of default in respect of the Notes. There is no cross default under the Notes. However, the entire principal
amount of all the Notes and any accrued interest, arrears of interest and Additional Amounts thereon will be automatically accelerated, without any action by the Trustee or any holder and any principal, interest or Additional Amounts will become
immediately due and payable, in case of a Bankruptcy Event or a Liquidation Event. No payments will be made to holders of any class of the Company’s Capital Stock before all amounts due, but unpaid, to all holders of the Notes have been paid by
the Company. 
 There is no right of acceleration of the payment of principal of the Notes if the Company fails to pay interest, Arrears of
Interest and Additional Amounts thereon when any such payment becomes due pursuant to the Indenture. The rights of Holders to enforce the provisions of the Indenture and the Notes are expressly limited by the provisions of the Indenture. 

 

	14.	 Trustee Dealings with the Company. 



Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become
the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 

  
 A-8 













	15.	 No Recourse Against Others. 



An incorporator, director, officer, employee, stockholder or controlling person, as such, of the Company or any Subsidiary shall not have any
liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. 

 

	16.	 Authentication. 



Any Officer of the Company may sign the Notes for the Company by manual, facsimile or electronic signature. This Note shall not be valid until
an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an Authenticating Agent) electronically or manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.

entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/GIMIA (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act). 

 

	18.	 Governing Law, etc. 



THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

 

	19.	 CUSIP Number. 



Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP or other
similar numbers to be printed on the Notes and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP number in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as
contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. 
  

	20.	 Currency of Account; Conversion of Currency. 



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 Notes or the
Indenture, including damages. The Company will indemnify the Holders as provided in respect of the conversion of currency relating to the Notes and the Indenture. 
  

	21.	 Agent for Service; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Immunities.

upon the Indenture or the Notes may be instituted in any state or federal court in the City of New York and County of New York and in the courts of their respective corporate domiciles, in respect of actions brought against them as


  
 A-9 












 
defendants. The Company has irrevocably submitted to the jurisdiction of such courts for such purpose and waived, to the fullest extent permitted by law, trial by jury and any objection they may
now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding, and any claim they may now or hereafter have that any proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum and irrevocably waived the right to any other jurisdiction to
which it may be entitled on account of law, of its present or future place of residence or domicile or for any other reason. The Company has appointed CEMEX NY Corporation, 590 Madison Avenue, 27th Floor, New York, NY 10022, its authorized agent
upon whom all writs, process and summonses may be served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon the Indenture or the Notes which may be instituted in any state or federal court in the City of New York and County of New York.

(whether service or notice, attachment in aid or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, the Company has, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrevocably waived and agreed not to plead or claim such immunity in
respect of its obligations under the Indenture or the Notes.
