“THE CONCESSION TITLE” was amended on February 12th, 2001, November 22nd, 2006, December 31st, 2013, December 20th, 2017 and April 27th, 2018, amendments that were published in the Official Gazette of the Federation on March 20th, 2001, December 29th, 2006, March 26th, 2014, March 22nd, 2018 and June 1st, 2018, respectively.

II. - The railroads are one of the priority areas for national development and, therefore, the Mexican State is responsible for guiding their development in terms of the provisions of Articles 25 and 28, fourth paragraph, of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States.

III. - The National Development Plan 2019-2024, published in the Official Gazette of the Federation on July 12th, 2019, states in its Epilogue: Vision 2024, as a responsibility of the Federal Government, to carry out a major transformation in the administrative apparatus and to redirect the public policies, governmental priorities and budgets; it also establishes the following General Axes: I.

Economy, foreseeing to achieve its fulfillment, among others, as a guiding principle: “the economy for welfare“, resuming the path of growth with austerity and without corruption.

IV. - According to the National Agreement on Infrastructure Investment in the Private Sector, released by the Federal Government in November 2019, Mexico requires infrastructure to promote

Exhibit 10.1

its development in an inclusive manner, and bring opportunities to the most lagging regions, among others, in railroads. In the same National Agreement, the Government of Mexico states its commitment to promote and facilitate the participation of private investment in infrastructure to conclude and initiate new private investment projects, both domestic and foreign, to reactivate economic activity. 

V. - The Sectorial Program of Communications and Transportation 2020-2024, published in the Official Gazette of the Federation on July 2nd, 2020, establishes, among its priority objectives, to contribute to the development of the country by strengthening transport with a long-term vision, promoting, among others, a greater participation of railroad freight transportation as compared to auto-transportation. 

VI. - In the city of Celaya, Guanajuato, the “NB“ Line, on the the Acámbaro-Escobedo section that goes from km NB-0+000 to km NB-85+447 of the Mexico-Lázaro Cárdenas corridor, which is part of “THE CONCESSION TITLE”, crosses with Line “A”, on the Mariscala-Irapuato section that goes from km A-263+922 to km A-354+516 of the México-Ciudad Juárez corridor, which is part of the concession title granted in favor of the company called Ferrocarril Mexicano S.A de C.V (Ferromex); likewise, the switchyard of Celaya, hereinafter “CELAYA SWITCHYARD”, is part of the concession of Ferromex and extends from east to west; the railroad tracks of “THE CONCESSIONAIRE” are located from north to south. 
The exchange of loaded and empty cars between “THE CONCESSIONAIRE” and Ferromex takes place in the “CELAYA SWITCHYARD”, causing constant blockages to the population in the urban area of the city of Celaya, which generates a problem in the region that constitutes an area of opportunity for the efficiency of the provision of the public railroad transportation service in said area. 
VII. - In order to solve this problem, as of 2012, “THE MINISTRY” started the construction of a by-pass, hereinafter referred to as “THE CELAYA BY-PASS”, which considers the modification of the routes of Lines “A” and “NB” through a new infrastructure composed of two by-passes called “AM” and “NBA” lines, respectively. The purpose of the second of said by-passes is to replace the operation of the railway section of the “NB” Line, from km 61+727 to km 82+405 for its subsequent disincorporation from “THE CONCESSION TITLE”.
VIII. - By means of a letter dated June 2nd, 2022, “THE CONCESSIONAIRE” declared to “THE MINISTRY” its interest and willingness to finance and carry out the conclusion of the construction of the works related to “THE CELAYA BY-PASS” in the section of the “NBA” line from km 0+000 to km 20+966.30, hereinafter “THE CELAYA-NBA LINE BY-PASS”, in accordance with the terms and conditions described in the executive project of the work, which is part of this amendment as Annex A. 
IX. - In addition to the construction works of “THE CELAYA-NBA LINE BY-PASS”, “THE MINISTRY” and  “THE CONCESSIONAIRE” jointly, have evaluated and agreed on the convenience of carrying out certain additional infrastructure construction works, hereinafter “ADDITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS”, which are listed in the document attached to this amendment as Annex E, with the purpose of expanding the capacity of the Northeast General

X. - Based on the foregoing, “THE MINISTRY” determined appropriate to modify “THE CONCESSION TITLE”, including also the increase to the exclusivity period to provide the public freight railroad transportation public service, for an additional period of ten years, in such a way that the exclusivity in the terms and with the exceptions set forth in “THE CONCESSION TITLE”, shall be for a total of forty years, counted from the beginning of the term of its concession, based on the financial analysis called “Valuation of the increase in the exclusivity” (Annex G), which establishes the term of recovery of the investment to conclude the construction of “THE CELAYA-NBA LINE BY-PASS” and the construction of the “ADDITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS”.
