              With
      respect to any Dividend Amount paid or delivered by the Issuer to holders
      of record of a Share on or prior to the relevant Reference Settlement
      Date, on the first Scheduled Trading Day that is not a Disrupted Day
      immediately following the first Currency Business
  Day

                such

      Dividend Amount divided by the closing
      price per Share (after giving effect to any reinvestment discount then in
      effect) on such Scheduled Trading Day.  The Calculation Agent
      shall have the discretion to make such an adjustment notwithstanding the
      fact that a Scheduled Trading Day is a Disrupted Day if it determines that
      the relevant Market Disruption Event does not have a material impact on
      the determination of the closing price per Share on such Scheduled Trading
      Day.

              An
      amount in MXN equal to the Record Amount multiplied
      by the
      Number of Shares. To the extent that the Record Amount is not in the form
      of MXN (whether in another currency, securities or any other asset), the
      Calculation Agent shall determine the fair market value in MXN of such
      amount in a commercially reasonable
manner.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              Section
      9.2(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions is amended by deleting the words
      “the Excess Dividend Amount, if any,
and”.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              The
      definition of “Record Amount” in Section 10.1 of the Equity Definitions is
      amended by replacing in the second line thereof the words “the gross cash
      dividend per Share” with “the cash dividend per Share, net of any
      withholding or deduction of taxes at the source by or on behalf of any
      applicable taxing authority,” and adding thereafter the phrase “(including
      any Extraordinary Dividend) and any non-cash dividend or other
      distribution paid or delivered by the Issuer to holders of record of a
      Share (other than in the form of
Shares)”.

      of Adjustment:

            	
              Calculation
      Agent Adjustment; provided, however, that
      the Equity Definitions shall be amended by replacing the words “diluting
      or concentrative” in Sections 11.2(a), 11.2(c) (in two instances) and
      11.2(e)(vii) with the word “material” and by adding the words “or the
      Transaction” after the words “theoretical value of the relevant Shares” in
      Sections 11.2(a), 11.2(c) and 11.2(e)(vii); provided, further, that
      adjustments may be made to account for changes in volatility, expected
      dividends, stock loan rate and liquidity relative to the relevant Share or

Amount.  The Calculation Agent shall determine the value of the Shares
described in the previous sentence using the closing price per Share and the

    (b) Bankruptcy Code
Acknowledgment.  Each of Citibank and Counterparty agrees and
acknowledges that Citibank is a “financial institution,” “swap participant” and
“financial participant” within the meaning of Sections 101(22), 101(53C) and
101(22A) of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy
Code”).  The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge (A)
that this Confirmation is intended to be (i) a “securities contract,” as such
term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which
each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is intended to be
a “termination value,” “payment amount” or “other transfer obligation” within
the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a “settlement payment”
within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) a “swap
agreement,” as such term is defined in Section 101(53B) of the Bankruptcy Code,
with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection
herewith is intended to be a “termination value,” a “payment amount” or “other
transfer obligation” within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code
and a “transfer” within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and
(B) that Citibank is intended to be entitled to the protections afforded by,
among other sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 362(b)(27), 362(o),
546(e), 546(g), 546(j), 548(d)(2), 555, 560 and 561 of the Bankruptcy
Code.

     

    (c) Indemnification.  Counterparty
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Citibank, its Affiliates and its assignees
and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling
persons (Citibank and each such person being an “Indemnified Party”)
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or
several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject, and relating to or
arising out of any of the transactions contemplated by this Confirmation, and
will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all expenses (including reasonable
counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the
investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or
threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or
not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such claim,
action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of
Counterparty.  Counterparty will not be liable under the foregoing
indemnification provision to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability
or expense is found in a nonappealable judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from Citibank’s breach of a material term of this
Confirmation, willful misconduct or gross negligence.  If for any
reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or
insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then Counterparty shall
contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law (but only to the extent that
such harm was not caused by Citibank’s breach of a material term of this
Confirmation, willful misconduct or gross negligence), to the amount paid or
payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or
liability.  Counterparty also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall
have any liability to Counterparty or any person asserting claims on behalf of
or in right of Counterparty in connection with or as a result of any matter
referred to in this Confirmation or any other Confirmation except to the extent
that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by
Counterparty result from the breach of a material term of this Confirmation, or
the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The
provisions of this Section 6(c) shall survive completion of the Transactions
contemplated by this Confirmation and any transfer pursuant to Section 6(d) and
shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of Citibank.

     

    (d) Early
Termination.  At any time on or after the one year anniversary
of the Trade Date of this Transaction and not more frequently than once every
three months, Citibank agrees to provide good faith quotations to Counterparty
for an early termination (in whole or in part) of this Transaction, such
quotations to remain actionable for a period specified by Citibank at such time
as such quotations are provided; provided, however that, if any
such quotation results in Counterparty requesting an early termination of this
Transaction (in whole or in part), any such termination shall be subject to
reasonable conditions that Citibank may impose, including, but not limited to
(i) Counterparty’s and Citibank’s agreement that such termination shall be
conducted in compliance with the terms of the Trust Agreement and shall not
adversely effect any Grantor, (ii) any reasonable undertakings by Counterparty
(including,

    but
not limited to, any undertaking with respect to compliance with applicable
securities laws) and execution of any documentation by Counterparty, as may be
requested and reasonably satisfactory to Citibank with respect to clause (i)
hereof or otherwise, (iii) the condition that an Event of Default, Potential
Event of Default or Termination Event will not occur as a result of such
termination, and (iv) Counterparty reimbursing Citibank for all reasonable costs
and expenses incurred by Citibank in connection with such
termination.

     

    (e) Transfer.  Notwithstanding
any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, Citibank may, without the
consent of Counterparty, freely transfer and assign its rights and obligations
under any Transaction (in whole only and together with the Relevant Option
Transaction and the Other Forward Transaction) to (i) CGMI or Citigroup Global
Markets Limited (“CGML”), in each case,
if such entity has a long-term unsecured debt ratings of at least “A1” (if rated
by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.) or “A+” (if rated by Standard & Poor’s)
and (ii) any of Citibank’s Affiliates that have a long-term unsecured debt
rating at least equal to that of Citibank; provided that such transfer or
assignment shall not result in a Tax Event or violate applicable
law.  At any time on or after the one year anniversary of the Trade
Date of this Transaction, Counterparty may transfer and assign its rights and
obligations under this Transaction (in whole or in part) to any Approved
Assignee; provided that such transfer or
assignment shall be subject to reasonable conditions that Citibank may impose,
including, but not limited to (i) Counterparty’s and Citibank’s agreement that
such transfer or assignment shall be conducted in compliance with the terms of
the Trust Agreement and shall not adversely effect any Grantor, (ii) the
existence at the time of such transfer or assignment of collateral undertakings,
reasonably satisfactory to Citibank, between the Approved Assignee and Citibank
with respect to any transferred portion of this Transaction, (iii) any
reasonable undertakings by Counterparty and the Approved Assignee (including,
but not limited to, any undertaking with respect to compliance with applicable
securities laws) and execution of any documentation by the Approved Assignee, as
may be requested and reasonably satisfactory to Citibank, (iv) the condition
that an Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will
not occur as a result of such transfer or assignment, and (v) Counterparty
reimbursing Citibank for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Citibank
in connection with such transfer or assignment.

     

    “Approved Assignee”
means any nationally- recognized equity derivatives dealer that has a long-term
unsecured debt rating at least equal to that of Citibank.

    

    (f) Designation.  Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing
Citibank to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to
or from Counterparty, Citibank may designate any of its affiliates to purchase,
sell, receive or deliver such shares or other securities and otherwise to
perform Citibank’s obligations in respect of this Transaction and any such
designee may assume such obligations.  Citibank shall be discharged of
its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such
performance.

     

    (g) Confidentiality.  Notwithstanding
any provision in this Confirmation, any Confirmation or the Agreement, in
connection with Section 1.6011-4 of the Treasury Regulations, the parties hereby
agree that each party (and each employee, representative, or other agent of such
party) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the
U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of the Transaction and all materials
of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such
party relating to such U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure, other than any
information for which nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to comply
with applicable securities laws.

     

    (h) Evidence of
Authority.  On the date hereof, Counterparty will provide to
Citibank evidence satisfactory to Citibank of its authority to enter into
Transactions hereunder and the incumbency of the designated signatory of
Counterparty.

telephone conversations of trading and marketing personnel of the parties and
their Affiliates in connection with this Confirmation and (ii) agrees to obtain
any necessary consent of, and give notice of such recording to, such personnel
of it and its Affiliates.

     

    (j) Severability;
Illegality.  If compliance by either party with any provision
of a Transaction would be unenforceable or illegal, (i) the parties shall
negotiate in good faith to resolve such unenforceability or illegality in a
manner that preserves the economic benefits of the transactions contemplated
hereby and (ii) the other provisions of the Transaction shall not be
invalidated, but shall remain in full force and effect.

     

    (k) Waiver of Trial by
Jury.  EACH OF COUNTERPARTY AND CITIBANK HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES (ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ON
BEHALF OF ITS STOCKHOLDERS OR BENFICIARIES, AS APPLICABLE) ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT
OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS TRANSACTION OR THE ACTIONS OF
CITIBANK OR ITS AFFILIATES IN THE NEGOTIATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT
HEREOF.

     

    (l) Governing

                    such
      Dividend Amount is so paid or delivered, the Calculation Agent shall
      adjust the Number of Shares to be increased by a number equal to such
      Dividend Amount divided by the closing
      price per Share (after giving effect to any reinvestment discount then in
      effect) on such Scheduled Trading Day.  The Calculation Agent
      shall have the discretion to make such an adjustment notwithstanding the
      fact that a Scheduled Trading Day is a Disrupted Day if it determines that
      the relevant Market Disruption Event does not have a material impact on
      the determination of the closing price per Share on such Scheduled Trading
      Day.

      Amount:

                	
                  An
      amount in MXN equal to the Record Amount multiplied
      by the
      Number of Shares. To the extent that the Record Amount is not in the form
      of MXN (whether in another currency, securities or any other asset), the
      Calculation Agent shall determine the fair market value in MXN of such
      amount in a commercially reasonable
manner.

      dividend per Share” with “the cash dividend per Share, net of any
      withholding or deduction of taxes at the source by or on behalf of any
      applicable taxing authority,” and adding thereafter the phrase “(including
      any Extraordinary Dividend) and any non-cash dividend or other
      distribution paid or delivered by the Issuer to holders of record of a

Shares)”.

      Transaction” after the words “theoretical value of the relevant Shares” in
      Sections 11.2(a), 11.2(c) and 11.2(e)(vii); provided, further, that
      adjustments may be made to account for changes in volatility, expected
      dividends, stock loan rate and liquidity relative to the relevant Share or
      the Transaction.

(m) Netting of
Obligations.  In the event that on the Settlement Date for any
Component of this Transaction an Option Cash Settlement Amount is payable under

Settlement Amount for the purposes hereof determined without regard to the
netting provisions set forth in Section 6(a) therein), the Number of Shares to

Agent shall determine the value of the Shares described in the previous sentence
using the closing price per Share and the USD/MXN exchange rate as of the
Valuation Time on the first Scheduled Trading Day following the relevant
Reference Settlement Date that is not a Disrupted Day.

       

      (n) Bankruptcy Code
Acknowledgment.  Each of Citibank and Counterparty agrees and
acknowledges that Citibank is a “financial institution,” “swap participant” and
“financial participant” within the meaning of Sections 101(22), 101(53C) and
101(22A) of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy
Code”).  The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge (A)
that this Confirmation is intended to be (i) a “securities contract,” as such
term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which
each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is intended to be
a “termination value,” “payment amount” or “other transfer obligation” within
the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a “settlement payment”
within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) a “swap
agreement,” as such term is defined in Section 101(53B) of the Bankruptcy Code,
with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection
herewith is intended to be a “termination value,” a “payment amount” or “other
transfer obligation” within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code
and a “transfer” within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and
(B) that Citibank is intended to be entitled to the protections afforded by,
among other sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 362(b)(27), 362(o),
546(e), 546(g), 546(j), 548(d)(2), 555, 560 and 561 of the Bankruptcy
Code.

       

      (o) Indemnification.  Counterparty
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Citibank, its Affiliates and its assignees
and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling
persons (Citibank and each such person being an “Indemnified Party”)
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or
several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject, and relating to or
arising out of any of the transactions contemplated by this Confirmation, and
will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all expenses (including reasonable
counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the
investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or
threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or
not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such claim,
action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of
Counterparty.  Counterparty will not be liable under the foregoing
indemnification provision to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability
or expense is found in a nonappealable judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from Citibank’s breach of a material term of this
Confirmation, willful misconduct or gross negligence.  If for any
reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or
insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then Counterparty shall
contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law (but only to the extent that
such harm was not caused by Citibank’s breach of a material term of this
Confirmation, willful misconduct or gross negligence), to the amount paid or
payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or
liability.  Counterparty also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall
have any liability to Counterparty or any person asserting claims on behalf of
or in right of Counterparty in connection with or as a result of any matter
referred to in this Confirmation or any other Confirmation except to the extent
that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by
Counterparty result from the breach of a material term of this Confirmation, or
the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The
provisions of this Section 6(c) shall survive completion of the Transactions
contemplated by this Confirmation and any transfer pursuant to Section 6(d) and
shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of Citibank.

       

      (p) Early
Termination.  At any time on or after the one year anniversary
of the Trade Date of this Transaction and not more frequently than once every
three months, Citibank agrees to provide good faith quotations to Counterparty
for an early termination (in whole or in part) of this Transaction, such

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            23

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

       

       

      quotations to remain actionable for a period
specified by Citibank at such time as such quotations are provided; provided, however that, if any
such quotation results in Counterparty requesting an early termination of this
Transaction (in whole or in part), any such termination shall be subject to
reasonable conditions that Citibank may impose, including, but not limited to
(i) Counterparty’s and Citibank’s agreement that such termination shall be
conducted in compliance with the terms of the Trust Agreement and shall not
adversely effect any Grantor, (ii) any reasonable undertakings by Counterparty
(including, but
not limited to, any undertaking with respect to compliance with applicable
securities laws) and execution of any documentation by Counterparty, as may be
requested and reasonably satisfactory to Citibank with respect to clause (i)
hereof or otherwise, (iii) the condition that an Event of Default, Potential
Event of Default or Termination Event will not occur as a result of such
termination, and (iv) Counterparty reimbursing Citibank for all reasonable costs
and expenses incurred by Citibank in connection with such
termination.

       

      (q) Transfer.  Notwithstanding
any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, Citibank may, without the
consent of Counterparty, freely transfer and assign its rights and obligations
under any Transaction (in whole only and together with the Relevant Option
Transaction and the Other Forward Transaction) to (i) CGMI or Citigroup Global
Markets Limited (“CGML”), in each case,
if such entity has a long-term unsecured debt ratings of at least “A1” (if rated
by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.) or “A+” (if rated by Standard & Poor’s)
and (ii) any of Citibank’s Affiliates that have a long-term unsecured debt
rating at least equal to that of Citibank; provided that such transfer or
assignment shall not result in a Tax Event or violate applicable
law.  At any time on or after the one year anniversary of the Trade
Date of this Transaction, Counterparty may transfer and assign its rights and
obligations under this Transaction (in whole or in part) to any Approved
Assignee; provided that such transfer or
assignment shall be subject to reasonable conditions that Citibank may impose,
including, but not limited to (i) Counterparty’s and Citibank’s agreement that
such transfer or assignment shall be conducted in compliance with the terms of
the Trust Agreement and shall not adversely effect any Grantor, (ii) the
existence at the time of such transfer or assignment of collateral undertakings,
reasonably satisfactory to Citibank, between the Approved Assignee and Citibank
with respect to any transferred portion of this Transaction, (iii) any
reasonable undertakings by Counterparty and the Approved Assignee (including,
but not limited to, any undertaking with respect to compliance with applicable
securities laws) and execution of any documentation by the Approved Assignee, as
may be requested and reasonably satisfactory to Citibank, (iv) the condition
that an Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will
not occur as a result of such transfer or assignment, and (v) Counterparty

in connection with such transfer or assignment.

       

      “Approved Assignee”
means any nationally- recognized equity derivatives dealer that has a long-term
unsecured debt rating at least equal to that of Citibank.

      

      (r) Designation.  Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing
Citibank to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to
or from Counterparty, Citibank may designate any of its affiliates to purchase,
sell, receive or deliver such shares or other securities and otherwise to
perform Citibank’s obligations in respect of this Transaction and any such
designee may assume such obligations.  Citibank shall be discharged of
its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such
performance.

       

      (s) Confidentiality.  Notwithstanding
any provision in this Confirmation, any Confirmation or the Agreement, in
connection with Section 1.6011-4 of the Treasury Regulations, the parties hereby
agree that each party (and each employee, representative, or other agent of such
party) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the
U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of the Transaction and all materials
of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such
party

      relating to such U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax
structure, other than any information for which nondisclosure is reasonably
necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws.

       

      (t) Evidence of
Authority.  On the date hereof, Counterparty will provide to
Citibank evidence satisfactory to Citibank of its authority to enter into
Transactions hereunder and the incumbency of the designated signatory of
Counterparty.

      

      (u) Consent to
Recording.  Each party (i) consents to the recording of the
telephone conversations of trading and marketing personnel of the parties and
their Affiliates in connection with this Confirmation and (ii) agrees to obtain
any necessary consent of, and give notice of such recording to, such personnel
of it and its Affiliates.

       

      (v) Severability;
Illegality.  If compliance by either party with any provision
of a Transaction would be unenforceable or illegal, (i) the parties shall
negotiate in good faith to resolve such unenforceability or illegality in a
manner that preserves the economic benefits of the transactions contemplated
hereby and (ii) the other provisions of the Transaction shall not be
invalidated, but shall remain in full force and effect.

       

      (w) Waiver of Trial by
Jury.  EACH OF COUNTERPARTY AND CITIBANK HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES (ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ON
BEHALF OF ITS STOCKHOLDERS OR BENFICIARIES, AS APPLICABLE) ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT
OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS TRANSACTION OR THE ACTIONS OF
CITIBANK OR ITS AFFILIATES IN THE NEGOTIATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT
HEREOF.

                    As
      provided in Annex
      A to this Confirmation (or, if such date is not a Scheduled Trading
      Day, the next following Scheduled Trading Day that is not already an
      Expiration Date for another Component); provided
      that if that date is a Disrupted Day, the Expiration Date for such
      Component shall be the first succeeding Scheduled Trading Day that is not
      a Disrupted Day and is not an Expiration Date in respect of any other
      Component of the Transaction hereunder; and provided
      further that if the Expiration Date has not occurred pursuant to the
      preceding proviso as of the Final Disruption Date, the Final Disruption
      Date shall be the Expiration Date (irrespective of whether such date is an
      Expiration Date in respect of any other Component for the Transaction) and
      the VWAP Price shall be reasonably determined by the Calculation
      Agent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the
      contrary in the Equity Definitions, if a Market Disruption Event occurs on
      any Expiration Date, the Calculation Agent may determine that such
      Expiration Date is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case the
      Calculation Agent shall determine that such day shall be the Expiration
      Date for a portion of the Number of Options for the relevant Component and
      shall designate the Scheduled Trading Day determined in the manner
      described in the immediately preceding sentence as the Expiration Date for
      the remaining Options for such Component.  Section 6.6 of the
      Equity Definitions shall not apply to any Valuation Date and the final
      sentence of Section 3.1(f) of the Equity Definitions shall not apply to
      any Expiration Date.  “Final
      Disruption Date” means the fifth Scheduled Trading Day after April
      23, 2013.

therein, equal to such Option Cash Settlement Amount.  The Calculation
Agent shall determine the value of the Shares described in the previous sentence
using the closing price per Share and the USD/MXN exchange rate as of the
Valuation Time on the first Scheduled Trading Day following the relevant
Reference Settlement Date that is not a Disrupted Day.

         

        (n) Bankruptcy Code
Acknowledgment.  Each of Citibank and Counterparty agrees and
acknowledges that Citibank is a “financial institution,” “swap participant” and
“financial participant” within the meaning of Sections 101(22), 101(53C) and
101(22A) of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy
Code”).  The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge (A)
that this Confirmation is intended to be (i) a “securities contract,” as such
term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which
each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is intended to be
a “termination value,” “payment amount” or “other transfer obligation” within
the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a “settlement payment”
within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) a “swap
agreement,” as such term is defined in Section 101(53B) of the Bankruptcy Code,
with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection
herewith is intended to be a “termination value,” a “payment amount” or “other
transfer obligation” within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code
and a “transfer” within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and
(B) that Citibank is intended to be entitled to the protections afforded by,
among other sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 362(b)(27), 362(o),
546(e), 546(g), 546(j), 548(d)(2), 555, 560 and 561 of the Bankruptcy
Code.

         

        (o) Indemnification.  Counterparty
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Citibank, its Affiliates and its assignees
and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling
persons (Citibank and each such person being an “Indemnified Party”)
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or
several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject, and relating to or
arising out of any of the transactions contemplated by this Confirmation, and
will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all expenses (including reasonable
counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the
investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or
threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or
not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such claim,
action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of
Counterparty.  Counterparty will not be liable under the foregoing
indemnification provision to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability
or expense is found in a nonappealable judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from Citibank’s breach of a material term of this
Confirmation, willful misconduct or gross negligence.  If for any
reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or
insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then Counterparty shall
contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law (but only to the extent that
such harm was not caused by Citibank’s breach of a material term of this
Confirmation, willful misconduct or gross negligence), to the amount paid or
payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or
liability.  Counterparty also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall
have any liability to Counterparty or any person asserting claims on behalf of
or in right of Counterparty in connection with or as a result of any matter
referred to in this Confirmation or any other Confirmation except to the extent
that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by
Counterparty result from the breach of a material term of this Confirmation, or
the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The
provisions of this Section 6(c) shall survive completion of the Transactions
contemplated by this Confirmation and any transfer pursuant to Section 6(d) and
shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of Citibank.

         

        (p) Early
Termination.  At any time on or after the one year anniversary
of the Trade Date of this Transaction and not more frequently than once every
three months, Citibank agrees to provide good faith quotations to Counterparty
for an early termination (in whole or in part) of this Transaction, such

        

        
          
            
               

            

            
              23

              
                

              

            

            
               

            

          

        

         

         

        quotations to remain actionable for a period
specified by Citibank at such time as such quotations are provided; provided, however that, if any
such quotation results in Counterparty requesting an early termination of this
Transaction (in whole or in part), any such termination shall be subject to
reasonable conditions that Citibank may impose, including, but not limited to
(i) Counterparty’s and Citibank’s agreement that such termination shall be
conducted in compliance with the terms of the Trust Agreement and shall not
adversely effect any Grantor, (ii) any reasonable undertakings by Counterparty
(including, but
not limited to, any undertaking with respect to compliance with applicable
securities laws) and execution of any documentation by Counterparty, as may be
requested and reasonably satisfactory to Citibank with respect to clause (i)
hereof or otherwise, (iii) the condition that an Event of Default, Potential
Event of Default or Termination Event will not occur as a result of such
termination, and (iv) Counterparty reimbursing Citibank for all reasonable costs
and expenses incurred by Citibank in connection with such
termination.

         

        (q) Transfer.  Notwithstanding
any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, Citibank may, without the
consent of Counterparty, freely transfer and assign its rights and obligations
under any Transaction (in whole only and together with the Relevant Option
Transaction and the Other Forward Transaction) to (i) CGMI or Citigroup Global
Markets Limited (“CGML”), in each case,
if such entity has a long-term unsecured debt ratings of at least “A1” (if rated
by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.) or “A+” (if rated by Standard & Poor’s)
and (ii) any of Citibank’s Affiliates that have a long-term unsecured debt
rating at least equal to that of Citibank; provided that such transfer or
assignment shall not result in a Tax Event or violate applicable
law.  At any time on or after the one year anniversary of the Trade
Date of this Transaction, Counterparty may transfer and assign its rights and
obligations under this Transaction (in whole or in part) to any Approved
Assignee; provided that such transfer or
assignment shall be subject to reasonable conditions that Citibank may impose,
including, but not limited to (i) Counterparty’s and Citibank’s agreement that
such transfer or assignment shall be conducted in compliance with the terms of
the Trust Agreement and shall not adversely effect any Grantor, (ii) the
existence at the time of such transfer or assignment of collateral undertakings,
reasonably satisfactory to Citibank, between the Approved Assignee and Citibank
with respect to any transferred portion of this Transaction, (iii) any
reasonable undertakings by Counterparty and the Approved Assignee (including,
but not limited to, any undertaking with respect to compliance with applicable
securities laws) and execution of any documentation by the Approved Assignee, as
may be requested and reasonably satisfactory to Citibank, (iv) the condition
that an Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will
not occur as a result of such transfer or assignment, and (v) Counterparty
reimbursing Citibank for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Citibank
in connection with such transfer or assignment.

         

        “Approved Assignee”
means any nationally- recognized equity derivatives dealer that has a long-term
unsecured debt rating at least equal to that of Citibank.

        

        (r) Designation.  Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing
Citibank to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to
or from Counterparty, Citibank may designate any of its affiliates to purchase,
sell, receive or deliver such shares or other securities and otherwise to
perform Citibank’s obligations in respect of this Transaction and any such
designee may assume such obligations.  Citibank shall be discharged of
its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such
performance.

         

        (s) Confidentiality.  Notwithstanding
any provision in this Confirmation, any Confirmation or the Agreement, in
connection with Section 1.6011-4 of the Treasury Regulations, the parties hereby
agree that each party (and each employee, representative, or other agent of such
party) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the
U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of the Transaction and all materials
of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such
party 

         

         

        
          
            
               

            

            
              24

              
                

              

            

            
               

            

          

        

         

         

        relating to such U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax
structure, other than any information for which nondisclosure is reasonably
necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws.

         

        (t) Evidence of
Authority.  On the date hereof, Counterparty will provide to
Citibank evidence satisfactory to Citibank of its authority to enter into
Transactions hereunder and the incumbency of the designated signatory of
Counterparty.

        

        (u) Consent to
Recording.  Each party (i) consents to the recording of the
telephone conversations of trading and marketing personnel of the parties and
their Affiliates in connection with this Confirmation and (ii) agrees to obtain
any necessary consent of, and give notice of such recording to, such personnel
of it and its Affiliates.

         

        (v) Severability;
Illegality.  If compliance by either party with any provision
of a Transaction would be unenforceable or illegal, (i) the parties shall
negotiate in good faith to resolve such unenforceability or illegality in a
manner that preserves the economic benefits of the transactions contemplated
hereby and (ii) the other provisions of the Transaction shall not be
invalidated, but shall remain in full force and effect.

         

        (w) Waiver of Trial by
Jury.  EACH OF COUNTERPARTY AND CITIBANK HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES (ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ON
BEHALF OF ITS STOCKHOLDERS OR BENFICIARIES, AS APPLICABLE) ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT
OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS TRANSACTION OR THE ACTIONS OF
CITIBANK OR ITS AFFILIATES IN THE NEGOTIATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT
HEREOF.

         

        (x) Governing
law.  This Confirmation shall be governed
by the laws of the State of New York (without reference to choice of law
doctrine, other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations
Law).

                      such
      Dividend Amount is so paid or delivered, the Calculation Agent shall
      adjust the Number of Shares to be increased by a number equal to such
      Dividend Amount divided by the closing
      price per Share (after giving effect to any reinvestment discount then in
      effect) on such Scheduled Trading Day.  The Calculation Agent
      shall have the discretion to make such an adjustment notwithstanding the
      fact that a Scheduled Trading Day is a Disrupted Day if it determines that
      the relevant Market Disruption Event does not have a material impact on
      the determination of the closing price per Share on such Scheduled Trading
      Day.

      Amount:

                  	
                    An
      amount in MXN equal to the Record Amount multiplied
      by the
      Number of Shares. To the extent that the Record Amount is not in the form
      of MXN (whether in another currency, securities or any other asset), the
      Calculation Agent shall determine the fair market value in MXN of such
      amount in a commercially reasonable
manner.

                  

          

           

          
            	
                     
      

                  	
                    Section

                    The
      definition of “Record Amount” in Section 10.1 of the Equity Definitions is
      amended by replacing in the second line thereof the words “the gross cash
      dividend per Share” with “the cash dividend per Share, net of any
      withholding or deduction of taxes at the source by or on behalf of any
      applicable taxing authority,” and adding thereafter the phrase “(including
      any Extraordinary Dividend) and any non-cash dividend or other
      distribution paid or delivered by the Issuer to holders of record of a
      Share (other than in the form of
Shares)”.

      or concentrative” in Sections 11.2(a), 11.2(c) (in two instances) and
      11.2(e)(vii) with the word “material” and by adding the words “or the
      Transaction” after the words “theoretical value of the relevant Shares” in
      Sections 11.2(a), 11.2(c) and 11.2(e)(vii); provided, further, that
      adjustments may be made to account for changes in volatility, expected
      dividends, stock loan rate and liquidity relative to the relevant Share or
      the Transaction.

agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Citibank, its Affiliates and its assignees
and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling
persons (Citibank and each such person being an “Indemnified Party”)
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or
several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject, and relating to or
arising out of any of the transactions contemplated by this Confirmation, and
will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all expenses (including reasonable
counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the
investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or
threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or
not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such claim,
action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of
Counterparty.  Counterparty will not be liable under the foregoing
indemnification provision to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability
or expense is found in a nonappealable judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from Citibank’s breach of a material term of this
Confirmation, willful misconduct or gross negligence.  If for any
reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or
insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then Counterparty shall
contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law (but only to the extent that
such harm was not caused by Citibank’s breach of a material term of this
Confirmation, willful misconduct or gross negligence), to the amount paid or
payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or
liability.  Counterparty also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall
have any liability to Counterparty or any person asserting claims on behalf of
or in right of Counterparty in connection with or as a result of any matter
referred to in this Confirmation or any other Confirmation except to the extent
that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by
Counterparty result from the breach of a material term of this Confirmation, or
the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The
provisions of this Section 6(c) shall survive completion of the Transactions
contemplated by this Confirmation and any transfer pursuant to Section 6(d) and
shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of Citibank.

         

        (p) Early
Termination.  At any time on or after the one year anniversary
of the Trade Date of this Transaction and not more frequently than once every
three months, Citibank agrees to provide good faith quotations to Counterparty
for an early termination (in whole or in part) of this Transaction, such

        

        
          
            
               

            

            
              23

              
                

              

            

            
               

            

          

        

         

         

        quotations to remain actionable for a period
specified by Citibank at such time as such quotations are provided; provided, however that, if any
such quotation results in Counterparty requesting an early termination of this
Transaction (in whole or in part), any such termination shall be subject to
reasonable conditions that Citibank may impose, including, but not limited to
(i) Counterparty’s and Citibank’s agreement that such termination shall be
conducted in compliance with the terms of the Trust Agreement and shall not
adversely effect any Grantor, (ii) any reasonable undertakings by Counterparty
(including, but
not limited to, any undertaking with respect to compliance with applicable
securities laws) and execution of any documentation by Counterparty, as may be
requested and reasonably satisfactory to Citibank with respect to clause (i)
hereof or otherwise, (iii) the condition that an Event of Default, Potential
Event of Default or Termination Event will not occur as a result of such
termination, and (iv) Counterparty reimbursing Citibank for all reasonable costs
and expenses incurred by Citibank in connection with such
termination.

         

        (q) Transfer.  Notwithstanding
any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, Citibank may, without the
consent of Counterparty, freely transfer and assign its rights and obligations
under any Transaction (in whole only and together with the Relevant Option
Transaction and the Other Forward Transaction) to (i) CGMI or Citigroup Global
Markets Limited (“CGML”), in each case,
if such entity has a long-term unsecured debt ratings of at least “A1” (if rated
by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.) or “A+” (if rated by Standard & Poor’s)
and (ii) any of Citibank’s Affiliates that have a long-term unsecured debt
rating at least equal to that of Citibank; provided that such transfer or
assignment shall not result in a Tax Event or violate applicable
law.  At any time on or after the one year anniversary of the Trade
Date of this Transaction, Counterparty may transfer and assign its rights and
obligations under this Transaction (in whole or in part) to any Approved
Assignee; provided that such transfer or
assignment shall be subject to reasonable conditions that Citibank may impose,
including, but not limited to (i) Counterparty’s and Citibank’s agreement that
such transfer or assignment shall be conducted in compliance with the terms of
the Trust Agreement and shall not adversely effect any Grantor, (ii) the
existence at the time of such transfer or assignment of collateral undertakings,
reasonably satisfactory to Citibank, between the Approved Assignee and Citibank
with respect to any transferred portion of this Transaction, (iii) any
reasonable undertakings by Counterparty and the Approved Assignee (including,
but not limited to, any undertaking with respect to compliance with applicable
securities laws) and execution of any documentation by the Approved Assignee, as
may be requested and reasonably satisfactory to Citibank, (iv) the condition
that an Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will
not occur as a result of such transfer or assignment, and (v) Counterparty
reimbursing Citibank for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Citibank
in connection with such transfer or assignment.

         

        “Approved Assignee”
means any nationally- recognized equity derivatives dealer that has a long-term
unsecured debt rating at least equal to that of Citibank.

        

        (r) Designation.  Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing
Citibank to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to
or from Counterparty, Citibank may designate any of its affiliates to purchase,
sell, receive or deliver such shares or other securities and otherwise to
perform Citibank’s obligations in respect of this Transaction and any such
designee may assume such obligations.  Citibank shall be discharged of
its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such
performance.

         

        (s) Confidentiality.  Notwithstanding
any provision in this Confirmation, any Confirmation or the Agreement, in
connection with Section 1.6011-4 of the Treasury Regulations, the parties hereby
agree that each party (and each employee, representative, or other agent of such
party) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the
U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of the Transaction and all materials
of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such
party 

         

         

        
          
            
               

            

            
              24

              
                

              

            

            
               

            

          

        

         

         

        relating to such U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax
structure, other than any information for which nondisclosure is reasonably
necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws.

         

        (t) Evidence of
Authority.  On the date hereof, Counterparty will provide to
Citibank evidence satisfactory to Citibank of its authority to enter into
Transactions hereunder and the incumbency of the designated signatory of
Counterparty.

        

        (u) Consent to
Recording.  Each party (i) consents to the recording of the
telephone conversations of trading and marketing personnel of the parties and
their Affiliates in connection with this Confirmation and (ii) agrees to obtain
any necessary consent of, and give notice of such recording to, such personnel
of it and its Affiliates.

         

        (v) Severability;
Illegality.  If compliance by either party with any provision
of a Transaction would be unenforceable or illegal, (i) the parties shall
negotiate in good faith to resolve such unenforceability or illegality in a
manner that preserves the economic benefits of the transactions contemplated
hereby and (ii) the other provisions of the Transaction shall not be
invalidated, but shall remain in full force and effect.

         

        (w) Waiver of Trial by
Jury.  EACH OF COUNTERPARTY AND CITIBANK HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES (ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ON
BEHALF OF ITS STOCKHOLDERS OR BENFICIARIES, AS APPLICABLE) ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT
OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS TRANSACTION OR THE ACTIONS OF
CITIBANK OR ITS AFFILIATES IN THE NEGOTIATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT
HEREOF.

         

        (x) Governing
law.  This Confirmation shall be governed
by the laws of the State of New York (without reference to choice of law
doctrine, other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations
Law).

      Time:

              	
                The
      Valuation Time.

              

      

       

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                Expiration
      Date:

              	
                As
      provided in Annex A to this
      Confirmation (or, if such date is not a Scheduled Trading Day, the next
      following Scheduled Trading Day that is not already an Expiration Date for
      another Component); provided that
      if that date is a Disrupted Day, the Expiration Date for such Component
      shall be the first succeeding Scheduled Trading Day that is not a
      Disrupted Day and is not an Expiration Date in respect of any other
      Component of the Transaction hereunder; and provided
      further that if the Expiration Date has not occurred pursuant to the
      preceding proviso as of the Final Disruption Date, the Final Disruption
      Date shall be the Expiration Date (irrespective of whether such date is an
      Expiration Date in respect of any other Component for the Transaction) and
      the VWAP Price shall be reasonably determined by the Calculation
      Agent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the
      contrary in the Equity Definitions, if a Market Disruption Event occurs on
      any Expiration Date, the Calculation Agent may determine that such
      Expiration Date is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case the
      Calculation Agent shall determine that such day shall be the Expiration
      Date for a portion of the Number of Options for the relevant Component and
      shall designate the Scheduled Trading Day determined in the manner
      described in the immediately preceding sentence as the Expiration Date for
      the remaining Options for such Component.  Section 6.6 of the
      Equity Definitions shall not apply to any Valuation Date and the final
      sentence of Section 3.1(f) of the Equity Definitions shall not apply to
      any Expiration Date.  “Final Disruption
      Date” means the fifth Scheduled Trading Day after April 23,
      2013.

      third and fourth lines of Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions are
      hereby amended by deleting the words “at any time during the one hour
      period that ends at the relevant Valuation Time” and replacing them with
      “at any time prior to the relevant Valuation Time”.

      Pesos.” after the words “(ii) in futures or options contracts relating to
      the Shares on any relevant Related
Exchange”.

Obligations.  In the event that on the Cash Settlement Payment
Date for any Component of this Transaction a Number of Shares is due to be

application of Section 6(a) therein, in each case multiplied by (ii) (A) the
applicable closing price per Share on the first Scheduled Trading Day following
the related Valuation Date that is not a Disrupted Day multiplied by (B) the USD/MXN
exchange rate as of the Valuation Time on the date referred to in clause
(ii)(A).  If the first Scheduled Trading Day following the related

Component of this Transaction shall be the third Business Day following the
first succeeding Scheduled Trading Day that is not a Disrupted Day.

       

      (b) Bankruptcy Code

“financial participant” within the meaning of Sections 101(22), 101(53C) and
101(22A) of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy
Code”).  The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge (A)
that this Confirmation is intended to be (i) a “securities contract,” as such
term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which
each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is intended to be
a “termination value,” “payment amount” or “other transfer obligation” within
the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a “settlement payment”
within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) a “swap
agreement,” as such term is defined in Section 101(53B) of the Bankruptcy Code,
with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection
herewith is intended to be a “termination value,” a “payment amount” or “other
transfer obligation” within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code
and a “transfer” within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and
(B) that Citibank is intended to be entitled to the protections afforded by,

          38

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      (c) Indemnification.  Counterparty
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Citibank, its Affiliates and its assignees
and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling
persons (Citibank and each such person being an “Indemnified Party”)
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or
several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject, and relating to or
arising out of any of the transactions contemplated by this Confirmation, and
will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all expenses (including reasonable
counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the
investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or
threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or
not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such claim,
action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of
Counterparty.  Counterparty will not be liable under the foregoing
indemnification provision to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability
or expense is found in a nonappealable judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from Citibank’s breach of a material term of this
Confirmation, willful misconduct or gross negligence.  If for any
reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or
insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then Counterparty shall
contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law (but only to the extent that
such harm was not caused by Citibank’s breach of a material term of this
Confirmation, willful misconduct or gross negligence), to the amount paid or
payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or
liability.  Counterparty also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall
have any liability to Counterparty or any person asserting claims on behalf of
or in right of Counterparty in connection with or as a result of any matter
referred to in this Confirmation or any other Confirmation except to the extent
that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by
Counterparty result from the breach of a material term of this Confirmation, or
the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The
provisions of this Section 6(c) shall survive completion of the Transactions
contemplated by this Confirmation and any transfer pursuant to Section 6(d) and
shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of Citibank.

       

      (d) Early
Termination.  At any time on or after the one year anniversary
of the Trade Date of this Transaction and not more frequently than once every
three months, Citibank agrees to provide good faith quotations to Counterparty
for an early termination (in whole or in part) of this Transaction, such
quotations to remain actionable for a period specified by Citibank at such time
as such quotations are provided; provided, however that, if any
such quotation results in Counterparty requesting an early termination of this
Transaction (in whole or in part), any such termination shall be subject to
reasonable conditions that Citibank may impose, including, but not limited to
(i) Counterparty’s and Citibank’s agreement that such termination shall be
conducted in compliance with the terms of the Trust Agreement and shall not
adversely effect any Grantor, (ii) any reasonable undertakings by Counterparty
(including, but not limited to, any undertaking with respect to compliance with
applicable securities laws) and execution of any documentation by Counterparty,
as may be requested and reasonably satisfactory to Citibank with respect to
clause (i) hereof or otherwise, (iii) the condition that an Event of Default,
Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will not occur as a result of
such termination, and (iv) Counterparty reimbursing Citibank for all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by Citibank in connection with such
termination.

       

      (e) Transfer.  Notwithstanding
any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, Citibank may, without the
consent of Counterparty, freely transfer and assign its rights and obligations
under any Transaction (in whole only and together with each Relevant Forward
Transaction) to (i) CGMI or Citigroup Global Markets Limited (“CGML”), in each case,
if such entity has a long-term unsecured debt ratings of at least “A1” (if rated
by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.) or “A+” (if rated by Standard & Poor’s)
and (ii) any of Citibank’s Affiliates that have a long-term unsecured debt
rating at least equal to that of Citibank; provided that such transfer or
assignment shall not result in a Tax Event or violate applicable
law.  At any time on or after the one year anniversary of the Trade
Date of this Transaction, Counterparty may transfer and assign its rights and
obligations under this Transaction (in whole or in part) to any Approved
Assignee; provided that such transfer or
assignment shall be subject to reasonable conditions that 

       

      
        
           

        

        
          39

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      Citibank
may impose, including, but not limited to (i) Counterparty’s and Citibank’s
agreement that such transfer or assignment shall be conducted in compliance with
the terms of the Trust Agreement and shall not adversely effect any Grantor,
(ii) the existence at the time of such transfer or assignment of collateral
undertakings, reasonably satisfactory to Citibank, between the Approved Assignee
and Citibank with respect to any transferred portion of this Transaction, (iii)

(including, but not limited to, any undertaking with respect to compliance with
applicable securities laws) and execution of any documentation by the Approved
Assignee, as may be requested and reasonably satisfactory to Citibank, (iv) the
condition that an Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination
Event will not occur as a result of such transfer or assignment, and (v)
Counterparty reimbursing Citibank for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred
by Citibank in connection with such transfer or assignment.

       

      “Approved Assignee”
means any nationally- recognized equity derivatives dealer that has a long-term
unsecured debt rating at least equal to that of Citibank.

      

      (f) Designation.  Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing
Citibank to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to
or from Counterparty, Citibank may designate any of its affiliates to purchase,
sell, receive or deliver such shares or other securities and otherwise to
perform Citibank’s obligations in respect of this Transaction and any such
designee may assume such obligations.  Citibank shall be discharged of
its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such
performance.

       

      (g) Confidentiality.  Notwithstanding
any provision in this Confirmation, any Confirmation or the Agreement, in
connection with Section 1.6011-4 of the Treasury Regulations, the parties hereby
agree that each party (and each employee, representative, or other agent of such
party) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the
U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of the Transaction and all materials
of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such
party relating to such U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure, other than any
information for which nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to comply
with applicable securities laws.

       

      (h) Evidence of
Authority.  On the date hereof, Counterparty will provide to
Citibank evidence satisfactory to Citibank of its authority to enter into
Transactions hereunder and the incumbency of the designated signatory of
Counterparty.

       

      (i) Consent to
Recording.  Each party (i) consents to the recording of the
telephone conversations of trading and marketing personnel of the parties and
their Affiliates in connection with this Confirmation and (ii) agrees to obtain
any necessary consent of, and give notice of such recording to, such personnel
of it and its Affiliates.

       

      (j) Severability;
Illegality.  If compliance by either party with any provision
of a Transaction would be unenforceable or illegal, (i) the parties shall
negotiate in good faith to resolve such unenforceability or illegality in a
manner that preserves the economic benefits of the transactions contemplated
hereby and (ii) the other provisions of the Transaction shall not be
invalidated, but shall remain in full force and effect.

      (k) Waiver of Trial by
Jury.  EACH OF COUNTERPARTY AND CITIBANK HEREBY IRREVOCABLY

BEHALF OF ITS STOCKHOLDERS OR BENFICIARIES, AS APPLICABLE) ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT

      This
Annex supplements, forms part of, and is subject to, the above-referenced
Agreement, is part of its Schedule and is a Credit Support Document under this
Agreement with respect to each party.

       

      Accordingly,
the parties agree as follows:—

       

      Paragraph
1.  Interpretation

       

      (a)           Definitions and
Inconsistency. Capitalized terms not
otherwise defined herein or elsewhere in this Agreement have the meanings
specified pursuant to Paragraph 12, and all references in this Annex to
Paragraphs are to Paragraphs of this Annex.  In the event of any
inconsistency between this Annex and the other provisions of this Schedule, this
Annex will prevail, and in the event of any inconsistency between Paragraph 13
and the other provisions of this Annex, Paragraph 13 will prevail.

       

      (b)           Secured Party and
Pledgor. All references in this
Annex to the “Secured Party” will be to either party when acting in that
capacity and all corresponding references to the “Pledgor” will be to the other
party when acting in that capacity; provided, however, that if
Other Posted Support is held by a party to this Annex, all references herein to
that party as the Secured Party with respect to that Other Posted Support will
be to that party as the beneficiary thereof and will not subject that support or
that party as the beneficiary thereof to provisions of law generally relating to
security interests and secured parties.

       

       

      
        
           

        

        
          45

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      Paragraph
2.  Security Interest

       

      Each
party, as the Pledgor, hereby pledges to the other party, as the Secured Party,
as security for its Obligations, and grants to the Secured Party a first
priority continuing security interest in, lien on and right of Set-off against
all Posted Collateral Transferred to or received by the Secured Party
hereunder.  Upon the Transfer by the Secured Party to the Pledgor of
Posted Collateral, the security interest and lien granted hereunder on that
Posted Collateral will be released immediately and, to the extent possible,
without any further action by either party.

       

      Paragraph
3.  Credit Support Obligations

       

      (a)           Delivery
Amount.  Subject to
Paragraphs 4 and 5, upon a demand made by the Secured Party on or promptly
following a Valuation Date, if the Delivery Amount for that Valuation Date
equals or exceeds the Pledgor’s Minimum Transfer Amount, then the Pledgor will
Transfer to the Secured Party Eligible Credit Support having a Value as of the
date of Transfer at least equal to the applicable Delivery Amount (rounded
pursuant to Paragraph 13).  Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph
13, the “Delivery
Amount” applicable to the
Pledgor for any Valuation Date will equal the amount by which:

       

      (i)           the
Credit Support Amount

       

      exceeds

       

      (ii)           the
Value as of that Valuation Date of all Posted Credit Support held by the Secured
Party.

       

      (b)           Return
Amount. Subject to Paragraphs 4
and 5, upon a demand made by the Pledgor on or promptly following a Valuation
Date, if the Return Amount for that Valuation Date equals or exceeds the Secured
Party’s Minimum Transfer Amount, then the Secured Party will Transfer to the
Pledgor Posted Credit Support specified by the Pledgor in that demand having a
Value as of the date of Transfer as close as practicable to the applicable
Return Amount (rounded pursuant to Paragraph 13).  Unless otherwise
specified in Paragraph 13, the “Return
Amount” applicable to the
Secured Party for any Valuation Date will equal the amount by
which:

       

      (i)           the
Value as of that Valuation Date of all Posted Credit Support held by the Secured
Party exceeds

       

      (ii)           the
Credit Support Amount.

       

      “Credit Support
Amount” means, unless otherwise
specified in Paragraph 13, for any Valuation Date (i) the Secured Party’s
Exposure for that Valuation Date plus (ii) the aggregate of all Independent
Amounts applicable to the Pledgor, if any, minus (iii) all Independent Amounts
applicable to the Secured Party, if any, minus (iv) the Pledgor’s Threshold;
provided, however, that
the Credit Support Amount will be deemed to be zero whenever the calculation of
Credit Support Amount yields a number less than zero.

      Paragraph
4.  Conditions Precedent, Transfer Timing, Calculations and
Substitutions

       

      (a)           Conditions
Precedent. Each Transfer
obligation of the Pledgor under Paragraphs 3 and 5 and of the Secured Party
under Paragraphs 3, 4(d)(ii), 5 and 6(d) is subject to the conditions precedent
that:

       

      (i)           no
Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Specified Condition has occurred
and is continuing with respect to the other party; and

       

      (ii)           no
Early Termination Date for which any unsatisfied payment obligations exist has
occurred or been designated as the result of an Event of Default or Specified
Condition with respect to the other party.

       

      (b)           Transfer
Timing. Subject to Paragraphs
4(a) and 5 and unless otherwise specified, if a demand for the Transfer of
Eligible Credit Support or Posted Credit Support is made by the Notification
Time, then the relevant Transfer will be made not later than the close of
business on the next Local Business Day; if a demand is made after the
Notification Time, then the relevant Transfer will be made not later than the
close of business on the second Local Business Day thereafter.

       

      (c)           Calculations. All calculations of
Value and Exposure for purposes of Paragraphs 3 and 6(d) will be made by the
Valuation Agent as of the Valuation Time.  The Valuation Agent will
notify each party (or the other party, if the Valuation Agent is a party) of its
calculations not later than the Notification Time on the Local Business Day
following the applicable Valuation Date (or in the case of Paragraph 6(d),
following the date of calculation).

       

      Substitutions.

       

      (i)           Unless
otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, upon notice to the Secured Party specifying
the items of Posted Credit Support to be exchanged, the Pledgor may, on any
Local Business Day, Transfer to the Secured Party substitute Eligible Credit
Support (the “Substitute Credit Support”); and

       

      (ii)           subject
to Paragraph 4(a), the Secured Party will Transfer to the Pledgor the items of
Posted Credit Support specified by the Pledgor in its notice not later than the
Local Business Day following the date on which the Secured Party receives the
Substitute Credit Support, unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13 (the
“Substitution Date”); provided that the Secured
Party will only be obligated to Transfer Posted Credit Support with a Value as
of the date of Transfer of that Posted Credit Support equal to the Value as of
that date of the Substitute Credit Support.

       

      Paragraph
5.  Dispute Resolution

       

      If
a party (a “Disputing Party”) disputes (I) the Valuation Agent’s calculation of
a Delivery Amount or a Return Amount or (II) the Value of any Transfer of
Eligible Credit Support or Posted Credit Support, then (1) the Disputing Party
will notify the other party and the Valuation Agent (if the Valuation Agent is
not the other party) not later than the close of business on the Local Business
Day following (X) the date that the demand is made under Paragraph 3 in the case
of (I) above or (Y) the date of Transfer in the case of (II) above, (2) subject
to Paragraph 4(a), the appropriate party will Transfer the undisputed amount to
the other party not later than the close of business on the Local Business Day
following (X) the date that the demand is made under Paragraph 3 in the case of
(I) above or (Y) the date of Transfer in the case of (II) above, (3) the parties
will consult with each other in an attempt to resolve the dispute and (4) if
they fail to resolve the dispute by the Resolution Time, then:

       

      
        
           

        

        
          47

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      (i)          In
the case of a dispute involving a Delivery Amount or Return Amount, unless
otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, the Valuation Agent will recalculate the
Exposure and the Value as of the Recalculation Date by:

       

       (A)           utilizing
any calculations of Exposure for the Transactions (or Swap Transactions) that
the parties have agreed are not in dispute;

       

       (B)           calculating
the Exposure for the Transactions (or Swap Transactions) in dispute by seeking
four actual quotations at mid-market from Reference Market-makers for purposes
of calculating Market Quotation, and taking the arithmetic average of those
obtained; provided that
if four quotations are not available for a particular Transaction (or Swap
Transaction), then fewer than four quotations may be used for that Transaction
(or Swap Transaction); and if no quotations are available for a particular
Transaction (or Swap Transaction), then the Valuation Agent’s original
calculations will be used for that Transaction (or Swap Transaction);
and

       

       (C)           utilizing
the procedures specified in Paragraph 13 for calculating the Value, if disputed,
of Posted Credit Support.

       

      (ii)         In
the case of a dispute involving the Value of any Transfer of Eligible Credit
Support or Posted Credit Support, the Valuation Agent will recalculate the Value
as of the date of Transfer pursuant to Paragraph 13.

       

      Following
a recalculation pursuant to this Paragraph, the Valuation Agent will notify each
party (or the other party, if the Valuation Agent is a party) not later than the
Notification Time on the Local Business Day following the Resolution
Time.  The appropriate party will, upon demand following that notice
by the Valuation Agent or a resolution pursuant to (3) above and subject to
Paragraphs 4(a) and 4(b), make the appropriate Transfer.

       

      Paragraph
6.  Holding and Using Posted Collateral

       

      (a)           Care of Posted
Collateral. Without limiting the
Secured Party’s rights under Paragraph 6(c), the Secured Party will exercise
reasonable care to assure the safe custody of all Posted Collateral to the
extent required by applicable law, and in any event the Secured Party will be
deemed to have exercised reasonable care if it exercises at least the same
degree of care as it would exercise with respect to its own
property.  Except as specified in the preceding sentence, the Secured
Party will have no duty with respect to Posted Collateral, including, without
limitation, any duty to collect any Distributions, or enforce or preserve any
rights pertaining thereto.

       

      (b)           Eligibility to
Hold Posted Collateral; Custodians.

       

      (i)           General. Subject to the
satisfaction of any conditions specified in Paragraph 13 for holding Posted
Collateral, the Secured Party will be entitled to hold Posted Collateral or to
appoint an agent (a “Custodian”) to hold Posted Collateral for the Secured
Party.  Upon notice by the Secured Party to the Pledgor of the
appointment of a Custodian, the Pledgor’s obligations to make any Transfer will
be discharged by making the Transfer to that Custodian.  The holding
of Posted Collateral by a Custodian will be deemed to be the holding of that
Posted Collateral by the Secured Party for which the Custodian is
acting.

       

      
        
           

        

        
          48

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      (ii)           Failure to
Satisfy Conditions. If the Secured Party or
its Custodian fails to satisfy any conditions for holding Posted Collateral,
then upon a demand made by the Pledgor, the Secured Party will, not later than
five Local Business Days after the demand, Transfer or cause its Custodian to
Transfer all Posted Collateral held by it to a Custodian that satisfies those
conditions or to the Secured Party if it satisfies those
conditions.

       

      (iii)           Liability. The Secured Party will
be liable for the acts or omissions of its Custodian to the same extent that the
Secured Party would be liable hereunder for its own acts or
omissions.

       

      (c)           Use of Posted
Collateral. Unless otherwise
specified in Paragraph 13 and without limiting the rights and obligations of the
parties under Paragraphs 3, 4(d)(ii), 5, 6(d) and 8, if the Secured Party is not
a Defaulting Party or an Affected Party with respect to a Specified Condition
and no Early Termination Date has occurred or been designated as the result of
an Event of Default or Specified Condition with respect to the Secured Party,
then the Secured Party will, notwithstanding Section 9-207 of the New York
Uniform Commercial Code, have the right to:

       

      (i)     sell, pledge,
rehypothecate, assign, invest, use, commingle or otherwise dispose of, or
otherwise use in its business any Posted Collateral it holds, free from any
claim or right of any nature whatsoever of the Pledgor, including any equity or
right of redemption by the Pledgor; and

       

      (ii)     register any
Posted Collateral in the name of the Secured Party, its Custodian or a nominee
for either.

       

      For
purposes of the obligation to Transfer Eligible Credit Support or Posted Credit
Support pursuant to Paragraphs 3 and 5 and any rights or remedies authorized
under this Agreement, the Secured Party will be deemed to continue to hold all
Posted Collateral and to receive Distributions made thereon, regardless of
whether the Secured Party has exercised any rights with respect to any Posted
Collateral pursuant to (i) or (ii) above.

       

      (d)           Distributions and
Interest Amount.

       

      (i)           Distributions. Subject to Paragraph
4(a), if the Secured Party receives or is deemed to receive Distributions on a
Local Business Day, it will Transfer to the Pledgor not later than the following
Local Business Day any Distributions it receives or is deemed to receive to the
extent that a Delivery Amount would not be created or increased by that
Transfer, as calculated by the Valuation Agent (and the date of calculation will
be deemed to be a Valuation Date for this purpose).

       

      (ii)           Interest
Amount. Unless otherwise
specified in Paragraph 13 and subject to Paragraph 4(a), in lieu of any
interest, dividends or other amounts paid or deemed to have been paid with
respect to Posted Collateral in the form of Cash (all of which may be retained
by the Secured Party), the Secured Party will Transfer to the Pledgor at the
times specified in Paragraph 13 the Interest Amount to the extent that a
Delivery Amount would not be created or increased by that Transfer, as
calculated by the Valuation Agent (and the date of calculation will be deemed to
be a Valuation Date for this purpose).  The Interest Amount or portion
thereof not Transferred pursuant to this Paragraph will constitute Posted
Collateral in the form of Cash and will be subject to the security interest
granted under Paragraph 2.

       

      
        
           

        

        
          49

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      Paragraph
7.  Events of Default

       

      For
purposes of Section 5(a)(iii)(1) of this Agreement, an Event of Default will
exist with respect to a party if:

       

      (i)           that
party fails (or fails to cause its Custodian) to make, when due, any Transfer of
Eligible Collateral, Posted Collateral or the Interest Amount, as applicable,
required to be made by it and that failure continues for two Local Business Days
after notice of that failure is given to that party;

       

      (ii)           that
party fails to comply with any restriction or prohibition specified in this
Annex with respect to any of the rights specified in Paragraph 6(c) and that
failure continues for five Local Business Days after notice of that failure is
given to that party; or

       

      (iii)           that
party fails to comply with or perform any agreement or obligation other than
those specified in Paragraphs 7(i) and 7(ii) and that failure continues for 30
days after notice of that failure is given to that party.

       

      Paragraph
8.  Certain Rights and Remedies

       

      (a)           Secured Party’s
Rights and Remedies. If at any time (1) an
Event of Default or Specified Condition with respect to the Pledgor has occurred
and is continuing or (2) an Early Termination Date has occurred or been
designated as the result of an Event of Default or Specified Condition with
respect to the Pledgor, then, unless the Pledgor has paid in full all of its
Obligations that are then due, the Secured Party may exercise one or more of the
following rights and remedies:

       

      (i)           all
rights and remedies available to a secured party under applicable law with
respect to Posted Collateral held by the Secured Party;

       

      (ii)           any
other rights and remedies available to the Secured Party under the terms of
Other Posted Support, if any;

       

      (iii)           the
right to Set-off any amounts payable by the Pledgor with respect to any
Obligations against any Posted Collateral or the Cash equivalent of any Posted
Collateral held by the Secured Party (or any obligation of the Secured Party to
Transfer that Posted Collateral); and

       

      (iv)           the
right to liquidate any Posted Collateral held by the Secured Party through one
or more public or private sales or other dispositions with such notice, if any,
as may be required under applicable law, free from any claim or right of any
nature whatsoever of the Pledgor, including any equity or right of redemption by
the Pledgor (with the Secured Party having the right to purchase any or all of
the Posted Collateral to be sold) and to apply the proceeds (or the Cash
equivalent thereof) from the liquidation of the Posted Collateral to any amounts
payable by the Pledgor with respect to any Obligations in that order as the
Secured Party may elect.

       

      
        
           

        

        
          50

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      Each
party acknowledges and agrees that Posted Collateral in the form of securities
may decline speedily in value and is of a type customarily sold on a recognized
market, and, accordingly, the Pledgor is not entitled to prior notice of any
sale of that Posted Collateral by the Secured Party, except any notice that is
required under applicable law and cannot be waived.

       

      (b)           Pledgor’s Rights
and Remedies. If at any time an Early
Termination Date has occurred or been designated as the result of an Event of
Default or Specified Condition with respect to the Secured Party, then (except
in the case of an Early Termination Date relating to less than all Transactions
(or Swap Transactions) where the Secured Party has paid in full all of its
obligations that are then due under Section 6(e) of this
Agreement):

       

      (i)         the
Pledgor may exercise all rights and remedies available to a pledgor under
applicable law with respect to Posted Collateral held by the Secured
Party;

       

      (ii)        the
Pledgor may exercise any other rights and remedies available to the Pledgor
under the terms of Other Posted Support, if any;

Secured Party will be obligated immediately to Transfer all Posted Collateral
and the Interest Amount to the Pledgor; and

Secured Party (or any obligation of the Secured Party to Transfer that Posted
Collateral); and

       

      (B)           to
the extent that the Pledgor does not Set-off under (iv)(A) above, withhold
payment of any remaining amounts payable by the Pledgor with respect to any
Obligations, up to the Value of any remaining Posted Collateral held by the
Secured Party, until that Posted Collateral is Transferred to the
Pledgor.

       

      (c)           Deficiencies and
Excess Proceeds. The Secured Party will
Transfer to the Pledgor any proceeds and Posted Credit Support remaining after
liquidation, Set-off and/or application under Paragraphs 8(a) and 8(b) after
satisfaction in full of all amounts payable by the Pledgor with respect to any
Obligations; the Pledgor in all events will remain liable for any amounts
remaining unpaid after any liquidation, Set-off and/or application under
Paragraphs 8(a) and 8(b).

      (d)           Final
Returns. When no amounts are or
thereafter may become payable by the Pledgor with respect to any Obligations
(except for any potential liability under Section 2(d) of this Agreement), the
Secured Party will Transfer to the Pledgor all Posted Credit Support and the
Interest Amount, if any.

       

      Paragraph
9.  Representations

       

      Each
party represents to the other party (which representations will be deemed to be
repeated as of each date on which it, as the Pledgor, Transfers Eligible
Collateral) that:

       

      (i)    it has the
power to grant a security interest in and lien on any Eligible Collateral it
Transfers as the Pledgor and has taken all necessary actions to authorize the
granting of that security interest and lien;

       

      (ii)    it is the
sole owner of or otherwise has the right to Transfer all Eligible Collateral it
Transfers to the Secured Party hereunder, free and clear of any security
interest, lien, encumbrance or other restrictions other than the security
interest and lien granted under Paragraph 2,

       

      (iii)    upon the
Transfer of any Eligible Collateral to the Secured Party under the terms of this
Annex, the Secured Party will have a valid and perfected first priority security
interest therein (assuming that any central clearing corporation or any
third-party financial intermediary or other entity not within the control of the
Pledgor involved in the Transfer of that Eligible Collateral gives the notices
and takes the action required of it under applicable law for perfection of that
interest); and

       

      (iv)    the
performance by it of its obligations under this Annex will not result in the
creation of any security interest, lien or other encumbrance on any Posted
Collateral other than the security interest and lien granted under Paragraph
2.

       

      Paragraph
10.  Expenses

neither party will be liable for any costs and expenses incurred by the other
party in connection herewith.

       

      (b)           Posted Credit
Support. The Pledgor will
promptly pay when due all taxes, assessments or charges of any nature that are
imposed with respect to Posted Credit Support held by the Secured Party upon
becoming aware of the same, regardless of whether any portion of that Posted
Credit Support is subsequently disposed of under Paragraph 6(c), except for
those taxes, assessments and charges that result from the exercise of the
Secured Party’s rights under Paragraph 6(c).

       

      (c)           Liquidation/Application
of Posted Credit Support. All reasonable costs
and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Secured Party or the Pledgor in
connection with the liquidation and/or application of any Posted Credit Support
under Paragraph 8 will be payable, on demand and pursuant to the Expenses
Section of this Agreement, by the Defaulting Party or, if there is no Defaulting
Party, equally by the parties.

      Paragraph
11.  Miscellaneous

       

      (a)           Default
Interest. A
Secured Party that fails to make, when due, any Transfer of Posted Collateral or
the Interest Amount will be obligated to pay the Pledgor (to the extent
permitted under applicable law) an amount equal to interest at the Default Rate
multiplied by the Value of the items of property that were required to be
Transferred, from (and including) the date that Posted Collateral or Interest
Amount was required to be Transferred to (but excluding) the date of Transfer of
that Posted Collateral or Interest Amount.  This interest will be
calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days
elapsed.

       

      (b)           Further
Assurances. Promptly following a
demand made by a party, the other party will execute, deliver, file and record
any financing statement, specific assignment or other document and take any
other action that may be necessary or desirable and reasonably requested by that
party to create, preserve, perfect or validate any security interest or lien
granted under Paragraph 2, to enable that party to exercise or enforce its
rights under this Annex with respect to Posted Credit Support or an Interest
Amount or to effect or document a release of a security interest on Posted
Collateral or an Interest Amount.

       

      (c)           Further
Protection. The Pledgor will
promptly give notice to the Secured Party of, and defend against, any suit,
action, proceeding or lien that involves Posted Credit Support Transferred by
the Pledgor or that could adversely affect the security interest and lien
granted by it under Paragraph 2, unless that suit, action, proceeding or lien
results from the exercise of the Secured Party’s rights under Paragraph
6(c).

       

      (d)           Good Faith and
Commercially Reasonable Manner. Performance of all
obligations under this Annex, including, but not limited to, all calculations,
valuations and determinations made by either party, will be made in good faith
and in a commercially reasonable manner.

       

      (e)           Demands and

      (iv)

other party (expressed as a negative number) pursuant to
Section 6(e)(ii)(1) (but without reference to clause (3) of Section
 6(e)(ii)) of this Agreement if all Transactions were being terminated as
of the relevant Valuation Time, on the basis that (i) that party is not the
Affected Party and (ii) United States Dollars is the Termination Currency;
provided that the Close-out Amount will be determined by the Valuation Agent on
behalf of that party using the Valuation Agent’s estimates at mid-market of the
amounts that would be paid for transactions providing the economic equivalent of
(x) the material terms of the Transactions, including the payments and
deliveries by the parties under Section 2(a)(i) in respect of the
Transactions that would, but for the occurrence of the relevant Early
Termination Date, have been required after that date (assuming satisfaction of
the conditions precedent in Section 2(a)(iii) of this Agreement); and

taking of such steps under Mexican law as Citibank determines are necessary or
appropriate to effect the perfection of Citibank’s security interest in the
Forward Receivable under Mexican law or, if requiring further action by
Counterparty, written notice of such action has been given to Counterparty
within a reasonable time of such steps and such steps have occurred (or, in the
case of a return of such Posted Collateral to the Pledgor (which shall not be

Support that is Share Collateral shall occur in accordance with the terms of the
Mexican Security Agreement.

      

      (xiii) Permanent
Collateral.  The initial Transfer of the Independent Amount
pursuant to Paragraph 13(b)(i)(D) above shall consist of (a) 14,305,260 Cemex
CPOs (subject to reduction in accordance with the penultimate sentence of this
paragraph)  (the “Initial Cemex CPOs”)
and (b) the Forward Receivable (together with the Initial Cemex CPOs, the “Initial
Collateral”).  The Initial Collateral, together with all
Dividend Cemex CPOs (as defined in Paragraph 13(m)(xvii) below) (collectively,
with respect to any date, the “Permanent
Collateral”), shall be held as Posted Collateral at all times during the
period from and including the date of its Transfer pursuant to Paragraph
13(b)(i)(D) above, or the date on which it is obtained by the Administrator
pursuant to Paragraph 13(m)(xiv) below, as applicable, to and including the date
on which no amounts are or thereafter may become payable by Counterparty with
respect to the Obligations (except for any potential liability under Section
2(d) of this Agreement), provided, that, subject to
the due performance by Counterparty of its obligations under each Transaction
and Paragraph 4(a), the portion of the Permanent Collateral consisting of Cemex
CPOs shall be reduced on each Cash Settlement Payment Date, as defined in the
Put Option, by a number of Cemex CPOs equal to the product of (A) 1/10
multiplied by (B) the number of Cemex CPOs comprising the Initial Cemex
CPOs.  In addition, in connection with any assignment in accordance
with the terms of the relevant Confirmation or mutually agreed early unwind (in
either case, in part or in whole) of the Put Option, the Permanent Collateral
shall be reduced, as of the date of such assignment or the date of settlement of
such early unwind, as applicable, by an amount proportional to the portion of
the Put Option to be assigned or unwound, as applicable, on such
date.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Permanent Collateral, or any
portion thereof, may not constitute any portion of any Return Amount and shall
not be eligible for substitution under Paragraph 4(d).

      

      (xiv) Dividend
Reinvestment.  All Distributions with respect to the portion of
the Permanent Collateral consisting of Cemex CPOs, to the extent such
Distributions are not in the form of Cemex CPOs, shall be reinvested in Cemex
CPOs in accordance with the terms of the Mexican Security
Agreement.  All Cemex CPOs resulting from such Distributions (subject
to reduction in accordance with Paragraph 13(m)(xiii), the “Dividend Cemex CPOs”)
shall constitute Posted Collateral and shall be deemed to be “Posted Collateral
Transferred to or received by the Secured Party” for the purposes of Paragraph
2.

      

      (xv)
Transfer of Undisputed
Amount.  Paragraph 5 is hereby amended by adding the following
after the phrase “of (II) above” in the eighth line thereof:

       

      “(provided
that such Transfer need not be made prior to the time that such Transfer need
otherwise be made pursuant to the demand made under Paragraph 3)”.

      

      (xvi)
The following provision replaces Paragraph 5(i)(B):

       

      
        
           

        

        
          63

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      “(B)           calculating
the Exposure for the Transactions in dispute by seeking four actual quotations
at mid-market from third parties for purposes of calculating the relevant
Close-out Amount, and taking the arithmetic mean of those obtained; provided
that if four quotations are not available for a particular Transaction, then
fewer than four quotations may be used for that Transaction, and if no
quotations are available for a particular Transaction, then the Valuation
Agent’s original calculations will be used for that Transaction;
and”

      

      (xvii)
Calculations.  Paragraph
4(c) shall be amended by adding, after the phrase “All calculations of Value and
Exposure” in the first line thereof, the parenthetical “(including, without
limitation, any calculation of any currency exchange rate)”.

       

      
        
           

        

        
          64

Period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect

Acquisition had occurred on the first day of such Reference Period.
Additionally, if since the beginning of such Reference Period any Person that
subsequently shall have become a Subsidiary or was merged or consolidated with
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of a Material Acquisition
occurring during such Reference Period shall have made any Disposition or
Acquisition of property that would have required an adjustment pursuant to

    (c)  If the
Borrower or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be required by law to
deduct or withhold any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum
payable hereunder or under the Note to the Lender, then:

excluding in each case United States backup withholding Taxes imposed because of
payee underreporting) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would
have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made; provided, that,
the Borrower shall not be required to increase any amounts payable to the Lender
to the extent such increased amounts would be in excess of the amounts that
would have been payable to the Lender had the Lender complied with the

the case may be, shall furnish to the Lender the original or a certified copy of
a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Lender.

     

    (e)  If the

amounts to the Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(c) other
than amounts related to the withholding of Mexican tax at the rate applicable to
interest payments received by foreign financial institutions registered with the
Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito
Público as a
Foreign Financial Institution for the purposes of Article 195, Section I of the
Mexican Income Tax law, then the Lender shall, upon reasonable request by the
Borrower or the Guarantor, use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and
regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office,
issuing office, or office for receipt of payments by the Borrower and the
Guarantor hereunder, as the case may be, so as to eliminate or reduce the
obligation of the Borrower or the Guarantor, as the case may be, to pay any such
additional amounts which may thereafter accrue or to indemnify the Lender in the
future, if such change in the reasonable judgment of the Lender is not otherwise
disadvantageous to the Lender.

     

    (f)  The
Lender shall, from time to time at the request of the Borrower, promptly furnish
to the Borrower such forms, documents or other information (which shall be
accurate and complete) as may be reasonably required to establish any available
exemption from, or reduction in the amount of, applicable Taxes (including, but
not limited to, evidence of tax residence of the Lender given by the applicable
tax authority within one year from the date of the deduction or withholding by
the Borrower of any Taxes or Other Taxes); provided,
however, that
the Lender shall not be obliged to disclose information regarding its tax
affairs or computations to the Borrower in connection with this paragraph (f),
it being understood that the identity of any Person shall not be considered for
these purposes as information regarding its tax affairs or computations. The
Borrower shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy of any such forms, documents
or other information furnished to it by any Person and shall have no obligation

    (g)  In the
case of an assignment, transfer, grant of a participation or designation of a
new Lending Office, the Borrower and the Guarantor shall not be required to pay
or increase any amounts, pursuant to this Section
3.01
following such event, in excess of the amounts the Borrower and the Guarantor
were required to pay or increase immediately prior to such an event, except to
the extent of increases in such amounts resulting from a change in applicable
law occurring after such event. 

     

    (h)  If the
Lender receives a refund or credit in respect of Taxes or Other Taxes as to
which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or the Guarantor, as the case may
be, pursuant to Section
3.01(b) and such
refund or credit is directly and clearly attributable to this Agreement, it
shall notify the Borrower or the Guarantor, as the case may be, of the amount of
such refund or credit and shall return to the Borrower or the Guarantor, as the
case may be, such refund or the benefit of such credit; provided,
however, that
(A) the Lender shall not be obligated to make any effort to obtain such refund
or credit or to provide the Borrower or the Guarantor with any information on or
justification for the arrangement of its tax affairs or otherwise disclose to
the Borrower, the Guarantor or any other Person any information that it
considers to be proprietary or confidential, and (B) the Borrower or the
Guarantor, as the case may be, upon the request of Lender shall return the
amount of such refund or the benefit of such credit to the Lender, if the Lender
is required to repay the amount of such refund or the benefit of such credit to
the relevant authorities within six (6) years of the date the Borrower or the
Guarantor, as the case may be, is paid such amount by the Lender.

     

    (i)  The
agreements in this Section
3.01 shall
survive the termination of this Credit Agreement and the payment of the
Borrower’s Obligations.

     

    3.02  General Provisions as to
Payments.

     

    (a)  All
payments to be made by the Borrower or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall
be made without set-off, counterclaim or other defense. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower shall be made to the
Lender at the Lender’s Payment Office, and shall be made in Dollars and in
immediately available funds, no later than 3:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the
dates specified herein. Any payment received by the Lender later than 3:30 p.m.
(New York City time) shall be deemed to have been received on the following
Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until
such following Business Day.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        17

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    
       

    

    (b)  Except
and to the extent otherwise specifically provided herein, whenever any payment
to be made hereunder is due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for
payment thereof shall be extended to the immediately following Business Day and,
if interest is stated to be payable in respect thereof, interest shall continue
to accrue to such immediately following Business Day.

     

    3.03  Funding
Losses. If the
Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to the Loan on any day
other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or if the
Borrower fails to borrow the Loan after notice has been given to the Lender in
accordance with Section
2.01(b), the
Borrower shall reimburse the Lender within fifteen (15) days after demand for
any resulting loss or expense incurred by it, including any loss incurred in
obtaining, liquidating or reemploying deposits bearing interest by reference to
LIBOR from third parties (“Funding
Losses”),
provided the
Lender shall have delivered to the Borrower a certificate setting forth in
reasonable detail the computations for the amount of such loss or expense, which
certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

     

    3.04  Basis for Determining
Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If on
or prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

     

    (a)  the
Lender determines that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank
market, reasonably adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR applicable
to such Interest Period or that deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts)
are not being offered in the London interbank market for such Interest
Period,

     

    (b)  then the
Lender shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower. In the event of any
such determination or advice, the Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan as
of the date of such notice. Each determination by the Lender hereunder shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

     

    3.05  Capital
Adequacy. If the
Lender has determined, after the date hereof, that the adoption or the becoming
effective of, or any change in, or any change by any Governmental Authority,
central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof in the interpretation or administration of, any
applicable law, rule, or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or compliance by
the Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or
not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable
agency, has or would have the effect of increasing the Lender’s cost of
maintaining its Commitment or making or maintaining the Loan or reducing the
rate of return on the Lender’s capital or assets as a consequence of its
commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which the Lender
could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change, or compliance
(taking into consideration the Lender’s policies with respect to capital
adequacy), then, upon notice from the Lender to the Borrower, the Borrower shall
be obligated to pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate the Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.
Each determination by the Lender of amounts owing under this Section shall,
absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto. The
Lender will, upon request, provide a certificate in reasonable detail as to the
amount of such increased cost or reduction in amount received and method of
calculation.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        18

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    Upon the
Lender’s making a claim for compensation under this Section
3.05, (i) the
Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and
regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office or
assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches
or affiliates so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment by the
Borrower which may thereafter accrue, if such change is not otherwise
disadvantageous to the Lender, and (ii) the Borrower shall have the right (but
not the obligation) to prepay such Lender's Loan in whole or in part without
premium or penalty, but including all accrued interest on the principal amount
prepaid.

     

    3.06  Illegality.

     

    (a)  Notwithstanding
any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement
of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof occurring after the
Effective Date shall make it unlawful for the Lender to make or maintain the
Commitment or the Loan as contemplated by this Agreement, then the Lender shall
be an “Affected
Lender” and by
written notice to the Borrower:

     

    (i)  the
Affected Lender may require that the outstanding LIBOR Loan, made by it be
converted to a Base Rate Loan, in which event such LIBOR Loan shall be
automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan as of the effective date of such
notice as provided in paragraph (b) below; and

     

    (ii)  if it is
also illegal for the Affected Lender to make Base Rate Loans, Lender may declare
all amounts owed to it by the Borrower to the extent of such illegality to be
due and payable; provided,
however, the
Borrower has the right, with the consent of the Affected Lender to find an
additional Lender to purchase the Affected Lender’s rights and
obligations.

     

    In the
event Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above with respect to
the Loan, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have
been applied to repay the LIBOR Loan shall instead be applied to repay the Base
Rate Loan.

     

    (b)  For
purposes of this Section
3.06, a
notice to the Borrower by the Affected Lender shall be effective as to the Loan,
if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to the
Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt
by the Borrower.

     

    3.07  Requirements of
Law.

     

    If, after
the date hereof, the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in
the interpretation or application thereof applicable to the Lender, or
compliance by the Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each
case made subsequent to the Effective Date (or, if later, the date on which such
Lender becomes a Lender):

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        19

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    
       

    

    (a)  shall
impose, modify, or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory
loan, or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other
liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans, or other extensions of
credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of the Lender that
is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder;
or

     

    (b)  shall
impose on the Lender any other condition (excluding any tax of any kind
whatsoever);

     

    and the
result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lender, by an
amount that the Lender reasonably deems to be material, of making, converting
into, continuing, or maintaining the LIBOR Loan or to reduce any amount
receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, upon notice
delivered to the Borrower from the Lender, in accordance herewith, the Borrower
shall be obligated to promptly pay the Lender, upon its demand, any additional
amounts necessary to compensate the Lender for such increased cost or reduced
amount receivable; provided that, in
any such case, the Borrower may elect to convert the LIBOR Loans made by the
Lender hereunder to a Base Rate Loan by giving the Lender at least one (1)
Business Day’s notice of such election. If the Lender becomes entitled to claim
any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall provide notice thereof
to the Borrower, promptly upon occurrence of such event, but in any case within
three (3) days from the date of such event, certifying (x) that one of the
events described in this paragraph (a) has occurred and describing in reasonable
detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the increased cost or reduced amount
resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount demanded by the
Lender and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a
certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection
submitted by the Lender to the Borrower shall be conclusive and binding on the
parties hereto in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loan and all other amounts
payable hereunder. If the Lender becomes aware of a proposed change in any
Requirement of Law that would entitle it to claim any additional amounts
pursuant to this Section it shall promptly, upon the Lender becoming aware of
such event, provide notice to the Borrower.

Agreement, unless such stamp or similar taxes have been paid by the Borrower;
provided,
however, that in
the event any legal proceedings are brought in the courts of Mexico, an official
Spanish translation of the documents required in such proceedings, including
this Agreement, would have to be approved by the court after the defendant is
given an opportunity to be heard with respect to the accuracy of the
translation, and proceedings would thereafter be based upon the translated
documents.

and performance of this Agreement by the Lender, that the Lender be licensed or
qualified with any Mexican Governmental Authority or be entitled to carry on
business in Mexico.

Obligor has filed all material tax returns which are required to be filed by it
and has paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any material
assessment received by the Borrower, except where the same may be contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings and as to which such Obligor maintains
reserves to the extent it is required to do so by law or pursuant to Mexican
FRS. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of each Obligor in respect
of taxes or other governmental charges are, in the opinion of the Borrower,
adequate.

     

    (b)  Except
for tax imposed by way of withholding on interest, fees and commissions remitted
from Mexico, there is no tax (other than taxes on, or measured by, income or
profits), levy, impost, deduction, charge or withholding imposed, levied,

authority thereof or therein either (i) on or by virtue of the execution or

certificates, permits, franchises, and other governmental authorizations
necessary to the ownership of their respective properties or to the conduct of
their respective businesses, antitrust laws or Environmental Laws and the rules
and regulations and laws with respect to social security, workers’ housing
funds, and pension funds obligations), except where the failure to so comply

    5.15  Absence of
Default. No
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

    5.16  Full
Disclosure. All
information heretofore furnished by the Borrower to the Lender for purposes of
or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby
(other than projections and other “forward-looking” information that have been
prepared on a reasonable basis and in good faith by the Borrower) is, and all
such information hereafter furnished by the Borrower to the Lender will be, true
and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information
is stated or certified and does not omit to state any material fact necessary in
order to make the statements contained herein or therein, taken as a whole, not
misleading. The Borrower has disclosed to the Lender in writing any and all
facts which may have a Material Adverse Effect.

has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan sufficient to give rise to a Lien
under Section Section 303(k) of ERISA. No condition exists or event or
transaction has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan which would reasonably
be expected to result in the incurrence by any Credit Party, any of its
Subsidiaries, or any its ERISA Affiliates of any material liability (other than
liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of maintaining the Pension Plan),
fine or penalty. No Credit Party, nor any of its Subsidiaries, has any
contingent liability with respect to any post-retirement benefit under a Welfare

Adverse Effect, other than liability for continuation coverage described in Part
6 of Title I of ERISA.

all operations at the Real Properties are in compliance with all applicable
Environmental Laws, and there is no violation of any Environmental Law with
respect to the Real Properties or the businesses operated by the Credit Parties
or any of their Subsidiaries (the “Businesses”), and
there are no conditions relating to the Businesses or Real Properties that would
reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under any applicable
Environmental Laws.

     

    (b)  No Credit
Party has received any written notice of, or inquiry from any Governmental
Authority regarding, any violation, alleged violation, non-compliance or
liability regarding Hazardous Materials or compliance with Environmental Laws
with regard to any of the Real Properties or the Businesses, nor, to the
knowledge of a Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, is any such notice being
threatened.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        26

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (c)  Hazardous
Materials have not been transported or disposed of from the Real Properties, or
generated, treated, stored or disposed of at, on or under any of the Real
Properties or any other location, in each case by, or on behalf or with the
permission of, a Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries in a manner that would
give rise to liability under any applicable Environmental Laws.

     

    (d)  No
judicial proceeding or governmental or administrative action is pending or, to
the knowledge of a Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened, under
any Environmental Law to which a Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries is or
will be named as a party, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees,
consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other administrative
or judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect to
a Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, the Real Properties or the
Businesses.

     

    (e)  There has
been no release (including disposal) or to the Borrower’s knowledge, threat of
release of Hazardous Materials at or from the Real Properties, or arising from
or related to the operations of a Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries in
connection with the Real Properties or otherwise in connection with the
Businesses where such release constituted a violation of, or would give rise to
liability under, any applicable Environmental Laws.

     

    (f)  None of
the Real Properties contains any Hazardous Materials at, on or under the Real
Properties in amounts or concentrations that, if released, constitute a
violation of, or could give rise to liability under, Environmental
Laws.

     

    (g)  No Credit
Party, nor any of its Subsidiaries, has assumed any liability of any Person
(other than another Credit Party or one of its Subsidiaries) under any
Environmental Law.

     

    (h)  This
Section
5.19
constitutes the only representations and warranties of the Credit Parties with
respect to any Environmental Law or Hazardous Substance.

Regulations. No part
of the proceeds of the Loan hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly, for
the purpose of purchasing or carrying any “margin stock” within the meaning of
Regulation U, or for the purpose of purchasing or carrying or trading in any
securities. If requested by the Lender, the Borrower will furnish to the Lender
a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR
Form U-1 referred to in said Regulation U. No indebtedness being reduced or
retired out of the proceeds of the Loan hereunder was or will be incurred for
the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of
Regulation U except in compliance with Regulation U or any “margin security”
within the meaning of Regulation T, except in compliance with Regulation T.

by it of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the
direct or indirect use of the proceeds of the Loans) will violate or result in a
violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, or regulations issued pursuant thereto, or Regulation
T, U, or X.

incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Mexico and
has all requisite corporate power and authority (including all governmental

its assets and carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be
conducted.

     

    (b)  All of
the outstanding stock of the Guarantor has been validly issued and is fully paid
and non-accessible.

Guarantor.

     

    6.09  No Recordation
Necessary. This
Agreement is in proper legal form under the law of Mexico for the enforcement
thereof against the Guarantor under the law of Mexico. To ensure the legality,
validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of this Agreement and each
other Transaction Document in Mexico, it is not necessary that this Agreement or
any other Transaction Document be filed or recorded with any Governmental
Authority in Mexico or that any stamp or similar tax be paid on or in respect of
this Agreement or any other document to be furnished under this Agreement unless
such stamp or similar taxes have been paid by the Borrower or the Guarantor;
provided,
however, that in
the event any legal proceedings are brought in the courts of Mexico, an official
Spanish translation of the documents required in such proceedings, including
this Agreement, would have to be approved by the court after the defendant is
given an opportunity to be heard with respect to the accuracy of the
translation, and proceedings would thereafter be based upon the translated
documents.

obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents by the Borrower
and/or the Guarantor, as applicable, and for the validity or enforceability

filings could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

whereby the Obligations hereunder are secured equally and ratably with, or prior
to, the Debt secured by such Liens (other than Permitted Liens) for so long as
such Debt is so secured.

    ARTICLE IX

    OBLIGATIONS OF
GUARANTOR

     

    9.01  The
Guaranty. The
Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees (as a primary
obligor and not merely as surety) payment in full as provided herein of all
Obligations payable by the Borrower to the Lender under this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents, as and when such amounts become payable (whether at
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise).

     

    9.02  Nature of
Liability. The
obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are guarantees of payment and shall
remain in full force and effect until all Obligations of the Borrower have been
validly, finally and irrevocably paid in full and all Commitments have been
terminated, and shall not be affected in any way by the absence of any action to
obtain such amounts from the Borrower or by any variation, extension, waiver,
compromise or release of any or all Obligations from time to time therefor. The
Guarantor waives all requirements as to promptness, diligence, presentment,
demand for payment, protest and notice of any kind with respect to this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

     

    9.03  Unconditional
Obligations.
Notwithstanding any contrary principles under the laws of any jurisdiction other
than the State of New York, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be
unconditional, irrevocable and absolute and, without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, shall not be impaired, terminated, released, discharged or
otherwise affected by the following:

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        38

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
    

    (a)  the
existence of any claim, set-off or other right which the Guarantor may have at
any time against the Borrower, the Lender or any other Person, whether in
connection with this transaction or with any unrelated transaction;

     

    (b)  any
invalidity or unenforceability of this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document relating to or against the Borrower or the Guarantor for any
reason;

     

    (c)  any
provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by
the Borrower of any amount payable by the Borrower under this Agreement or any
of the other Transaction Documents or the payment, observance, fulfillment or
performance of any other Obligations;

     

    (d)  any
change in the name, purposes, business, capital stock (including the ownership
thereof) or constitution of the Borrower;

     

    (e)  any
amendment, waiver or modification of any Transaction Document in accordance with
the terms hereof and thereof; or

     

    (f)  any other
act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, the Lender or any
other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to the Guarantor’s
obligations hereunder.

     

    9.04  Independent
Obligation. The
obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are independent of the Borrower’s
obligations under the Transaction Documents and of any guaranty or security that
may be obtained for the Obligations. The Lender may neglect or forbear to
enforce payment hereunder, under any Transaction Document or under any guaranty
or security, without in any way affecting or impairing the liability of the
Guarantor hereunder. The Lender shall not be obligated to exhaust recourse or
take any other action against the Borrower or under any agreement to purchase or
security which the Lender may hold before being entitled to payment from the
Guarantor of the obligations hereunder or proceed against or have resort to any
balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Lender in favor of
the Borrower or the Guarantor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Lender shall have the right to bring suit directly against the Guarantor,
either prior or subsequent to or concurrently with any lawsuit against, or
without bringing suit against, the Borrower.

     

    9.05  Waiver of
Notices. The
Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this ARTICLE IX and
notice of any liability to which it may apply, and waives presentment, demand
for payment, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment of any such liability,
suit or the taking of other action by the Lender against, and any other notice,
to the Guarantor.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        39

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    9.06  Waiver of
Defenses. To the
extent permitted by New York law and notwithstanding any contrary principles
under the laws of any other jurisdiction, the Guarantor hereby waives any and
all defenses to which it may be entitled, whether at common law, in equity or by
statute which limits the liability of, or exonerates, guarantors or which may
conflict with the terms of this ARTICLE IX,
including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, statute of frauds,
merger or consolidation of the Borrower, statute of limitations, accord and
satisfaction and usury. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Guarantor consents that, without notice to the Guarantor and without the
necessity for any additional endorsement or consent by the Guarantor, and
without impairing or affecting in any way the liability of the Guarantor
hereunder, the Lender may at any time and from time to time, upon or without any
terms or conditions and in whole or in part, (a) change the manner, place or
terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time or payment of, renew or
alter, any of the Obligations, any security therefor, or any liability incurred
directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this ARTICLE IX shall
apply to the Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered; (b)
exercise or refrain from exercising any right against the Borrower or others
(including the Guarantor) or otherwise act or refrain from acting, (c) settle or
compromise any of the Obligations, any security therefor or any liability
(including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect
thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to
the payment of any such liability (whether due or not) of the Borrower to
creditors of the Borrower other than the Lender and the Guarantor, (d) apply any
sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized, other than payments of the
Guarantor of the Obligations, to any liability or liabilities of the Borrower
under the Transaction Documents or any instruments or agreements referred to
herein or therein, to the Lender regardless of which of such liability or
liabilities of the Borrower under the Transaction Documents or any instruments
or agreements referred to herein or therein remain unpaid; (e) consent to
or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under the Obligations or
any of the instruments or agreements referred to in this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement the Obligations
or any of such instruments or agreements, including the Transaction Documents;
and/or (f) request or accept other support of the Obligations or take and hold
any security for the payment of the Obligations or the obligations of the
Guarantor under this ARTICLE IX, or
allow the release, impairment, surrender, exchange, substitution, compromise,
settlement, rescission or subordination thereof. Furthermore, the Guarantor
hereby waives to the extent permitted by law any right to which it may be
entitled to under Articles 2830, 2836, 2842, 2845, 2846, 2848 and 2849 of the
Mexican Federal Civil Code and related Articles contained in the Civil Codes of
the States in Mexico. The Guarantor further expressly waive the benefits of
order, excusión y división
contained
in Articles 2814, 2815, 2817, 2818, 2820, 2821, 2822, 2823, 2837, 2838, 2840,
2841 and other related Articles of the Mexican Federal Civil Code and related
Articles contained in other Civil Codes of the States of Mexico. The Guarantor
hereby represent that the terms of each such provision of each such civil code
are known in form and substance to the Guarantor.

     

    9.07  Bankruptcy and Related
Matters.

     

    (a)  So long
as any of the Obligations remain outstanding, the Guarantor shall not, without
the prior written consent of the Lender) commence or join with any other Person
in commencing any bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, concurso mercantil
or
insolvency proceedings of, or against, the Borrower.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        40

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    
       

    

    (b)  If
acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Borrower under
this Agreement or the Notes is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization, concurso mercantil
or any
similar event of the Borrower or otherwise, all such amounts otherwise subject
to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement shall nonetheless be payable
by the Guarantor hereunder forthwith on demand by the Lender.

     

    (c)  The
obligations of the Guarantor under this ARTICLE IX shall
not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated
by any proceeding or action, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy,
insolvency, concurso
mercantil,
receivership, reorganization, marshalling of assets, assignment for the benefit
of creditors, readjustment, liquidation or arrangement of the Borrower or
similar proceedings or actions or by any defense which the Borrower may have by
reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body
resulting from any such proceeding or action. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts and
obligations that constitute the Obligations and would be owed by the Borrower
but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the
existence of any such proceeding or action.

     

    (d)  The
Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the
Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any proceeding or action
referred to above in Section 9.07(c) (or, if
interest on any portion of the Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law
by reason of the commencement of said proceeding or action, such interest as
would have accrued on such portion of the Obligations if said proceedings or
actions had not been commenced) shall be included in the Obligations, it being
the intention of the Guarantor and the Lender that the Obligations which are to
be guaranteed by the Guarantor pursuant to this ARTICLE IX shall be
determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve the
Borrower of any portion of such Obligations. The Guarantor will take no action
to prevent any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee
for the benefit of creditors or similar person from paying the Lender, or
allowing the claim of the Lender, in respect of any such interest accruing after
the date of which such proceeding is commenced, except to the extent any such
interest shall already have been paid by the Guarantor.

     

    (e)  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if all or any portion of the
Obligations are paid by or on behalf of the Borrower, the obligations of the
Guarantor hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be
reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such
payment(s) are rescinded or recovered, directly or indirectly, from the Lender
as a preference, preferential transfer, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and
any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute
Obligations for all purposes under this ARTICLE IX, to the
extent permitted by applicable law.

     

    9.08  No
Subrogation.
Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Guarantor hereunder or any
set-off or application of funds of the Guarantor by the Lender, the Guarantor
shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Lender
against the Borrower or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset
held by the Lender for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the Guarantor
seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower
in respect of payments made by the Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing
to the Lender by the Borrower on account of the Obligations shall have been
indefeasibly paid in full in cash. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor
on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations
shall not have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, such amount shall be held
by the Guarantor in trust for the Lender, segregated from other funds of the
Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Guarantor, be turned over to
the Lender in the exact form received by the Guarantor (duly indorsed by the
Guarantor to the Lender, if required), to be applied against the Obligations,
whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Lender may
determine.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        41

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
       

      
      

    

    9.09  General Limitation on
Guaranty. In any
action or proceeding involving any applicable corporate law, or any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, concurso mercantil
or other
law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of the
Guarantor under this Section
9.09 would
otherwise be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or
subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of
its liability under Section
9.01, then,
notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such
liability shall, without any further action by the Guarantor, the Lender or any
other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is
valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as
determined in such action or proceeding.

     

    9.10  Covenants of the
Guarantor. The
Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees that, so long as any Obligations under
this Agreement and any other Transaction Document remains unpaid or the Lender
has any Commitment hereunder, it shall comply with the covenants contained or
incorporated by reference in this Agreement to the extent applicable to it as a
Subsidiary of the Borrower.

which the Borrower is in default.

Party”) from
and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses
(including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and the allocated cost of
in-house counsel), but excluding taxes that may be incurred by or asserted or
awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in

(a) the Transaction Documents, any of the transactions contemplated herein or
the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans or (b) or any
Environmental Action relating in any way to the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or

jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other
proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section
11.05 applies,
such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation
or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, its directors, shareholders or
creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person or any Indemnified Party
is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated

    11.06  Successors and
Assigns.

     

    (a)  The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon the Borrower, the Guarantor,
their successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Lender and
their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower and the
Guarantor may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or
obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Lender
except pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

     

    (b)  The
Lender may at any time after the Disbursement Date assign to one or more
commercial banks either (i) registered as a Foreign Financial Institution
and a resident (or having its principal office as a resident, if lending through
a branch or agency) for tax purposes in a jurisdiction that is a party to an
income tax treaty to avoid double taxation with Mexico on the date of such
assignment, qualified to receive the benefits of said treaty or (ii) organized
and existing under the laws of Mexico on the date of such assignment (each an
“Assignee”) all,
or a proportionate part of all of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the Notes, and such Assignee shall assume such rights and
obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement executed by such
Assignee and the transferor Lender, with (and subject to) the subscribed consent
of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed,
and if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such
consent shall not be required); provided,
however, that if
an Assignee is an Affiliate of the transferor Lender, which Affiliate is
registered as a Foreign Financial Institution and meets the tax residence and
qualification requirements of clause (ii) above and, at the time of such
assignment, the additional amounts payable with respect to Taxes to such
Assignee will not exceed such amounts payable to the transferor Lender, no such
consent shall be required; and provided further that, in
the case of an assignment of only part of such rights and obligations, the
Assignee shall acquire a portion of the Loan of not less than U.S.$3,000,000 and
integral multiples of U.S.$1,000,000 in excess thereof; and provided further that,
prior to such assignment, the parties hereto shall amend this Agreement to add
provisions substantially similar to the provisions contained in the Syndicated
Loan which, in the reasonable judgment of the Lender and the Borrower, are
necessary or desirable in connection with the addition of a new Lender(s),
including if the parties agree (x) the appointment of an Administrative Agent
and (y) revised amendment and waiver provisions. Upon execution and delivery of
an Assignment and Assumption Agreement and payment by the Assignee to the
transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between the
transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Lender party to
this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender, and
the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a
corresponding extent (except to the extent the same arose prior to the
assignment), and no further consent or action by any party shall be required.
Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this paragraph (b), the
transferor Lender and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that a
new Note is issued to the Assignee at the expense of the Assignee.

    (c)  Nothing
herein shall prohibit the Lender from pledging or assigning any Note to any
Federal Reserve Bank of the United States in accordance with applicable law and
without compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section
11.06;
provided,
however, that
such pledge or assignment shall not release such Lender from its obligations
hereunder.

     

    (d)  The
Lender may, without any consent of the Borrower or any other third party at any
time grant to one or more banks or other institutions (i) registered as a
Foreign Financial Institution and (ii) resident (or having its principal office
as a resident, if lending through a branch or agency) for tax purposes in a
jurisdiction that is a party to an income tax treaty to avoid double taxation
with Mexico on the date of such assignment and qualified to receive the benefits
of said treaty and having (at the time the Lender or financial institution
becomes a Participant) a withholding tax rate under such treaty applicable to
payments hereunder no higher than that applicable to payments to such Lender
(each a “Participant”)
participating interests in its Loan. In the event of any such grant by a Lender
of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the
Borrower, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its
obligations hereunder, and the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and
directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which the Lender may grant such
a participating interest shall provide that the Lender shall retain the sole
right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder,
including the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement; provided,
however, that
such participation agreement may provide that the Lender will not agree to any
modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement extending the maturity of
any Obligation in respect of which the participation was granted, or reducing
the rate or extending the time for payment of interest thereon or reducing the
principal thereof, or reducing the amount or basis of calculation of any fees to
accrue in respect of the participation, without the consent of the Participant.
The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its
participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Sections
3.01,
3.03 and
3.07 with
respect to its participating interest as if it were the Lender named herein;
provided,
however, that
the Borrower shall not be required to pay any greater amounts pursuant to such
Sections than it would have been required to pay but for the sale to such
Participant of such Participant’s participation interest. An assignment or other
transfer which is not permitted by paragraph (b) or (c) above shall be given
effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating
interest granted in accordance with this paragraph (d).

    (e)  The
Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed
assignment or participation pursuant to this Section
11.06,
disclose to the Assignee or Participant or proposed Assignee or Participant, any
information relating to the Borrower furnished to the Lender by or on behalf of
the Borrower; provided that,
prior to any such disclosure, the Assignee or Participant or proposed Assignee
or Participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential
Information relating to the Borrower received by it from the
Lender.

     

    11.07  Right of
Set-off. In
addition to any rights and remedies of the Lender provided by law, the Lender
shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower or the Guarantor, any
such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower and the Guarantor to the
extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by
the Borrower or the Guarantor hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such
amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any
currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent,
matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Lender, or any branch or
agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or the
Guarantor. The Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower, or the Guarantor,
as the case may be, after any such set-off and application made by the Lender,
provided that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and
application.

     

    11.08  Confidentiality. The
Lender shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any other Person
without the prior written consent of the Borrower, other than (a) to the
Lender’s Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and
advisors and, as contemplated by Section
11.06(e), to
actual or prospective Assignees and Participants, and then only on a
confidential basis, (b) as required by any law, rule or regulation (including as
may be required in connection with an audit by the Lender’s independent
auditors, and as may be required by any self-regulating organizations) or as may
be required by or necessary in connection with any judicial process and (c) as
requested by any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating
banks or banking. 

     

    11.09  Use of English
Language. All
certificates, reports, notices and other documents and communications given or
delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be in the English language (other
than the documents required to be provided pursuant to Section 7.01 and
Section 7.02 which
shall be in the English language or in the Spanish language accompanied by an
English translation or summary). Except in the case of the laws of, or official
communications of, Mexico, the English language version of any such document
shall control the meaning of the matters set forth therein.

    (d)  Each of
the parties hereto agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under
applicable law, that a final judgment in any suit, action or proceeding of the
nature referred to in paragraph (a) above brought in any such court shall be
conclusive and binding upon such party and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any manner provided by

law or limit any right that any party hereto may have to enforce in any lawful
manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other
jurisdiction.

     

    11.13  Waiver of Sovereign
Immunity. To the
extent that the Borrower or the Guarantor has or hereafter may acquire any
immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether
through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of
execution, or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, the Borrower or
the Guarantor, as the case may be, hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in
respect of its obligations hereunder to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower and the Guarantor
agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section
11.13 shall
have force and effect to the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign
Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States and are intended to be
irrevocable for purposes of such Act.

     

    11.14  Judgment
Currency.

     

    (a)  All
payments made under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be
made in Dollars. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is
necessary to convert a sum due from the Borrower in one currency (“Currency
X”) into
another currency (“Currency
Y”), the
parties hereto agree to the fullest extent that they may legally and effectively
do so that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with
normal banking procedures (based on quotations from four major dealers in the
relevant market) the Lender could purchase Currency X with Currency Y at or
about 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day preceding that on
which final judgment is given.

     

    (b)  The
Obligations in respect of any sum due to the Lender hereunder or under any other
Transaction Document shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law
notwithstanding any judgment expressed in a currency other than the applicable
Currency X, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following
receipt by the Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in Currency Y the Lender
may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase Currency X with
Currency Y. If the amount of Currency X so purchased is less than the sum
originally due to the Lender, the Borrower and the Guarantor agree, to the
fullest extent it may legally do so, as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Lender against such
resulting loss.

    11.15  Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different
parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be
deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one
and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page
to this Agreement by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart of this Agreement.

     

    11.16  USA PATRIOT
Act. The
Lender, to the extent that it may be subject to the requirements of the USA
PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001))
(the “Act”),
hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower,
which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other
information that will allow the Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance
with the Act.

     

    11.17  Severability. Any
provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision
in any other jurisdiction, and the remaining portion of such provision and all
other remaining provisions hereof will be construed to render them enforceable
to the fullest extent permitted by law.

     

    11.18  Survival of Agreements and
Representations.

     

    (a)  All
representations and warranties made herein or in any other Transaction Document
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby.

     

    (b)  The
covenants and agreements contained in Sections

and, in the case the Lender assigns any interest in its Loan or obligations
hereunder, with respect to matters occurring before such assignment, shall
survive the making of such assignment to the extent any claim arising thereunder
relates to any period prior to such assignment, notwithstanding that the
assigning Lender may cease to be a “Lender” hereunder.

    SCHEDULE 5.06 &
6.05

     

    A
description of material actions, suits, investigations, litigations or
proceedings, including Environmental Actions, affecting the Borrower and the
Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries before any court, Governmental Authority or
arbitrator is provided below.

     

    Environmental
Matters

     

    United States

     

    As of
March 31, 2008, CEMEX, Inc. and it subsidiaries had accrued liabilities
specifically relating to environmental matters in the aggregate amount of
approximately U.S.$ 47.3 million. The environmental matters relate to (i) the
disposal of various materials, in accordance with past industry practice, which
might be categorized as hazardous substances or wastes, and (ii) the cleanup of
sites used or operated by CEMEX, Inc., including discontinued operations,
regarding the disposal of hazardous substances or wastes, either individually or
jointly with other parties. Most of the proceedings are in the preliminary
stage, and a final resolution might take several years. For purposes of
recording the provision, CEMEX, Inc. considers that it is probable that a
liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability is reasonably
estimable, whether or not claims have been asserted, and without giving effect
to any possible future recoveries. Based on information available to date,
CEMEX, Inc. does not believe it will be required to spend significant sums on
these matters, in excess of the amounts previously recorded. The ultimate cost
that might be incurred to resolve these environmental issues cannot be assured
until all environmental studies, investigations, remediation work, and
negotiations with or litigation against potential sources of recovery have been
completed.

     

    Rinker
Materials of Florida, Inc., a subsidiary of CEMEX, Inc. (“Rinker”) holds one
federal quarry permit and is the beneficiary of one of 10 other federal
quarrying permits granted for the Lake Belt area in South Florida. The permit
held by Rinker covers Rinker's SCL and FEC quarries. Rinker's Krome quarry is
operated under one of the other federal quarry permits. The FEC quarry is the
largest of Rinker's quarries measured by volume of aggregates mined and sold.
Rinker's Miami cement mill is located at the SCL quarry and is supplied by that
quarry. A ruling was issued on March 22, 2006 by a judge of the U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of Florida in connection with litigation brought
by environmental groups concerning the manner in which the permits were granted.
Although not named as a defendant, Rinker has intervened in the proceedings to
protect its interests. The judge ruled that there were deficiencies in the
procedures and analysis undertaken by the relevant governmental agencies in
connection with the issuance of the permits. The judge remanded the permits to
the relevant governmental agencies for further review, which review the
governmental agencies have indicated in a recent court filing should take until
May 2008 to conclude. The judge also conducted further proceedings to determine
the activities to be conducted during the remand period. In July 2007, the judge
issued a ruling that halted quarrying operations at three non-Rinker quarries.
The judge left in place Rinker’s Lake Belt permits until the relevant government
agencies complete their review. Rinker and the other affected companies have
appealed the judge’s rulings. The appellate court set an expedited schedule for
the appeal with a hearing that was held in November 2007. If the Lake Belt
permits were ultimately set aside or quarrying operations under them restricted,
Rinker would need to source aggregates, to the extent available, from other
locations in Florida or import aggregates. This would likely affect Rinker's
profits. Any adverse impacts on the Florida economy arising from the cessation
or significant restriction of quarrying operations in the Lake Belt could also
have a material adverse effect on our financial results. 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    Europe

     

    In Great
Britain, future expenditure on closed and current landfill sites has been
assessed and quantified over the period in which the sites are considered to
have the potential to cause environmental harm, generally consistent with the
regulator view of up to 60 years from the date of closure. The assessed
expenditure relates to the costs of monitoring the sites and the installation,
repair and renewal of environmental infrastructure. The costs have been
quantified on a net present value basis in the amount of approximately £122
million, and an accounting provision for this sum has been made at December 31,
2007.

     

    In 2003,
the European Union adopted a directive implementing the Kyoto Protocol on
climate change and establishing a greenhouse gas emissions allowance trading
scheme within the European Union. The directive requires Member States to impose
binding caps on carbon dioxide emissions from installations involved in energy
activities, the production and processing of ferrous metals, the mineral
industry (including cement production) and the pulp, paper or board production
business. Under this scheme, companies with operations in these sectors receive
from the relevant Member States allowances that set limitations on the levels of
greenhouse gas emissions from their installations. These allowances are tradable
so as to enable companies that manage to reduce their emissions to sell their
excess allowances to companies that are not reaching their emissions objectives.
Companies can also use credits issued from the use of the flexibility mechanisms
under the Kyoto protocol to fulfill their European obligations. These
flexibility mechanisms provide that credits (equivalent to allowances) can be
obtained by companies for projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions in
emerging markets. These projects are referred to as Clean Development Mechanism
("CDM") or joint implementation projects depending on the countries where they
take place. Failure to meet the emissions caps is subject to heavy
penalties.

     

    Companies
can also use, up to a certain level, credits issued under the flexible
mechanisms of the Kyoto protocol to fulfill their European obligations. Credits
for Emission Reduction projects obtained under these mechanisms are recognized,
up to a certain level, under the European emission trading scheme as allowances.
To obtain these emission reduction credits, companies must comply with very
specific and restrictive requirements from the United Nations Convention on
Climate Change (UNFCC).

     

    As
required by directive, each of the Member States established a National
Allocations Plan, or NAP, setting out the allowance allocations for each
industrial facility for Phase I, from 2005 to 2007. Based on the NAPs
established by the Member States of the European Union for the 2005 to 2007
period and our actual production, on a consolidated basis after trading
allowances between our operations in countries with a deficit of allowances and
our operations in countries with an excess of allowances, and after some
external operations, Borrower’s Subsidiaries had a surplus of allowances of
approximately 1,050,054 tons of carbon dioxide in this Phase I. 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    For Phase
II, comprising 2008 through 2012, however, there has been a reduction in the
allowances granted by the Member States that have already approved their NAP,
which may result in a consolidated deficit in our carbon dioxide allowances
during the period. We believe we may be able to reduce the impact of any deficit
by either reducing carbon dioxide emissions in our facilities or by obtaining
additional emission credits through the implementation of CDM projects. If we
are not successful in implementing emission reductions in our facilities or
obtaining credits from CDM projects, we may have to purchase a significant
amount of emission credits in the market, the cost of which may have an impact
on our operating results. As of December 31, 2007, the market value of carbon
dioxide allowances for Phase I was 0.03 € per ton while the price of allowances
for Phase II was approximately 22.43 € per ton. We are taking all the measures
to minimize our exposure to this market while assuring the supply of our
products to our clients. 

     

    The U.K.
government's NAP for phase two of the trading scheme (2008 to 2012) has been
approved by the European Commission. Under this NAP, our cement plant in Rugby
has only been allocated 80% of the allowances it has under the current NAP,
representing a shortfall of 228,414 allowances per year, while competitor plants
have been awarded additional allowances compared to phase one (2005 to 2007).
The estimated cost of purchasing allowances to make up for this shortfall is
approximately €4 million per year over the five-year period of phase two,
depending on the prevailing market price. Legal challenges to the allocation
were pursued both in the U.K. domestic courts and the European Court of First
Instance, but these challenges have now been withdrawn.

     

    The
Spanish NAP has been finally approved by the Spanish Government, reflecting the
conditions that were set forth by the European Commission. The allocations made
to our installations allow us to foresee a reasonable availability of
allowances, nevertheless, there remains the uncertainty regarding the
allocations that, against the reserve for new entrants, shall be requested for
the new CEMEX cement plant in Andorra (Teruel), currently under construction,
and that it is scheduled to start operating in April 2009 

     

    Latvian
and Polish NAP for phase two of the trading scheme have been reviewed by the
European Commission. However, final approvals are conditioned on major changes.
Until each country publishes its allocation per site, it is premature for us to
draw conclusions concerning our situation or to fine-tune our
strategy.

     

    German
NAP and allocation by plant for phase two of the trading scheme has been issued
by law and are final. A limitation as been imposed as budgeted. In the case of
Beckum-Kollenbach plant, we are pursuing additional allowances by legally
challenging the allocation calculation.

     

    On May
29, 2007, the Polish government filed an appeal before the Court of First
Instance in Luxemburg regarding the European Commission's rejection of the
initial version of the Polish NAP. The Court has denied Poland's request for a
quick path verdict in the case, keeping the case in the regular proceeding path.
Therefore the Polish government has started to prepare Polish internal rules on
division of allowance at the level already accepted by the Commission. Seven
major Polish cement producers, representing 98% of Polish cement production
(including CEMEX Polska), have also filed seven separate appeals before the
Court of First Instance regarding the European Commission's
rejection.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    The
Latvian government filed an appeal in August 2007 before the Court of First
Instance in Luxembourg regarding the European Commission's rejection of the
initial version of the Latvian NAP for the years 2008 to 2012. 

     

    Tax
Matters

     

    Pursuant
to amendments to the Mexican income tax law (Ley del Impuesto sobre la
Renta), which
became effective on January 1, 2005, Mexican companies with direct or indirect
investments in entities incorporated in foreign countries whose income tax
liability in those countries is less than 75% of the income tax that would be
payable in Mexico will be required to pay taxes in Mexico on passive income such
as dividends, royalties, interest, capital gains and rental fees obtained by
such foreign entities, provided that the income is not derived from
entrepreneurial activities in such countries (income derived from
entrepreneurial activities is not subject to tax under these amendments). The
tax payable by Mexican companies in respect of the 2005 tax year pursuant to
these amendments was due upon filing their annual tax returns in March 2006. We
believe these amendments are contrary to Mexican constitutional principles, and
on August 8, 2005, we filed a motion in the Mexican federal courts challenging
the constitutionality of the amendments. On December 23, 2005, we obtained a
favorable ruling from the Mexican federal court that the amendments were
unconstitutional; however, the Mexican tax authority has appealed this ruling,
and it is pending resolution. If the final ruling is not favorable to us, these
amendments may have a material impact on us. 

     

    In
addition, on March 20, 2006, we filed another motion in the Mexican federal
courts challenging the constitutionality of the amendments. On June 29, 2006, we
obtained a favorable ruling from the Mexican federal court stating that the
amendments were unconstitutional. The Mexican tax authority has appealed the
ruling, which is pending resolution. 

    

    The
Mexican Congress approved several amendments to the Mexican Asset Tax Law
(Ley del Impuesto al
Activo) that
came into effect on January 1, 2007. As a result of such amendments, all Mexican
corporations, including us, are no longer allowed to deduct their liabilities
from the calculation of the asset tax. We believe that the Asset Tax Law, as
amended, is against the Mexican constitution. We have challenged the Asset Tax
Law through appropriate judicial action (juicio de amparo). 

     

    The asset
tax was imposed at a rate of 1.25% on the value of most of the assets of a
Mexican corporation. The asset tax was "complementary" to the corporate income
tax (impuesto sobre la
renta) and,
therefore, was payable only to the extent it exceeded payable income
tax.

    

    Philippines

    

    As of
March 31, 2008, the Philippine Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), assessed APO,
Solid, IQAC, ALQC and CSPI, our operating subsidiaries in the Philippines, for
deficiency taxes covering taxable years 1998 -2005 amounting to a total of
approximately 1,994 million Philippine Pesos (approximately U.S.$47. 75 Million
as of March 31, 2008, based on an exchange rate of Philippine Pesos 41.76 to
U.S.$1.00, which was the Philippine Peso/Dollar exchange rate on March 31, 2008
as published by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, the central bank of the
Republic of the Philippines).

     

    The
majority of the tax assessments result primarily from the disallowance of APO's
income tax holiday incentives for taxable years 1999 to 2001 (approximately
Philippine Pesos 1,078 million or U.S.$25.8 Million as of March 31, 2008, based
on an exchange rate of Philippine Pesos 41.76 to U.S.$1.00). We have contested
the BIR's assessment, arising from the disallowance of the ITH incentive, with
the Court of Tax Appeals (CTA). The initial Division ruling of the CTA was
unfavorable, but is subject to further appeal with the CTA as a whole. The
assessment is now currently on appeal with the CTA En Banc. A motion was filed
with the CTA, requesting the court to hold APO totally not liable for alleged
income tax liabilities for all the years covered and to this end cancel and
withdraw APO’s deficiency income tax assessments for taxable years 1999, 2000,
and 2001 on the basis of APO’s availment of the tax amnesty described below, as
of the date hereof resolution is still pending.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    Venezuelan
Nationalization

    

    On April
3, 2008, the Government of Venezuela announced its decision to nationalize the
cement industry. The Government of Venezuela has stated that it intends to have
a participation of at least 60% in each cement producer, with full operational
and administrative control, but has also expressed that, if required, it will be
able to acquire a 100% participation. The Government of Venezuela and CEMEX have
appointed representatives for this process. The Government of Venezuela will
conduct a due diligence review, followed by a determination of a price to be
paid as compensation for the nationalization. In the event of any disagreement
or dispute, CEMEX has advised the Government of Venezuela that its investment
was made by CEMEX subsidiaries in Spain and The Netherlands, and therefore that
the Bilateral Investment Treaties Venezuela signed with those countries will
govern the resolution of any such disagreements or disputes. 

    

    In
connection with the nationalization matter described above, at December 31,
2007, CEMEX Venezuela, S.A.C.A. was the holding entity of several of CEMEX’s
investments in the region, including CEMEX’s operations in the Dominican
Republic and Panama, as well as CEMEX’s minority investment in Trinidad.
Considering that the nationalization by the Government of Venezuela affects only
Venezuelan assets, in April 2008, CEMEX concluded the transfer of all material
non-Venezuelan investments to CEMEX España for approximately U.S.$355 plus
U.S.$112 net debt, having distributed all accrued profits from the
non-Venezuelan investments to the stockholders of CEMEX Venezuela amounting to
U.S.$132. At his time, the net impact of this matter in CEMEX’s consolidated
financial results cannot be reasonably estimated. The approximate net assets of
CEMEX’s Venezuelan operations under Mexican FRS at December 31, 2007 were
approximately Ps8,973.

    

    On June
13, 2008, the Venezuelan securities authority initiated an administrative
procedure against CEMEX Venezuela, arguing that the company did not sufficiently
inform its shareholders and the securities authority in connection with the
transfer of the non-Venezuelan assets described above. We are currently
reviewing the factual and legal considerations behind this procedure and will
respond within the applicable legal term.

     

    Other Legal
Proceedings

     

    In March
2001, 42 transporters filed a civil liability suit in the civil court of Ibague,
Colombia, against three of our Colombian subsidiaries. The plaintiffs contend
that these subsidiaries are responsible for alleged damages caused by the breach
of raw material transportation contracts. The plaintiffs asked for relief in the
amount of CoP127,242 million (approximately U.S.$ 72 million as of April 24,
2007, based on an exchange rate of CoP1765 to U.S.$1.00, which was the Colombian
Peso/Dollar exchange rate on April 24, 2008, as published by the Banco de la
República de Colombia, the central bank of Colombia). On February 23, 2006,
CEMEX Colombia was notified of the judgment of the court, dismissing the claims
of the plaintiffs. The case is currently under review by the appellate court.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    On August
5, 2005, a lawsuit was filed against a subsidiary of CEMEX Colombia, claiming
that it was liable along with the other members of the Asociación Colombiana de
Productores de Concreto, or ASOCRETO, a union formed by all the ready-mix
concrete producers in Colombia, for the premature distress of the roads built
for the mass public transportation system of Bogotá using ready-mix concrete
supplied by CEMEX Colombia and other ASOCRETO members. The plaintiffs allege
that the base material supplied for the road construction failed to meet the
quality standards offered by CEMEX Colombia and the other ASOCRETO members
and/or that they provided insufficient or inaccurate information in connection
with the product. The plaintiffs seek the repair of the roads in a manner which
guarantees their service during the 20-year period for which they were
originally designed, and estimate that the cost of such repair will be
approximately U.S.$45 million. The lawsuit was filed within the context of a
criminal investigation of two ASOCRETO officers and other individuals, alleging
that the ready-mix concrete producers were liable for damages if the ASOCRETO
officers were criminally responsible. The court completed the evidentiary stage,
and on August 17, 2006 dismissed the charges against the members of ASOCRETO.
The other defendants (one ex-director of the Distrital Institute of Development,
the legal representative of the constructor and the legal representative of the
auditor) were formally accused. The decision was appealed, and on December 11,
2006, the decision was reversed and the two ASOCRETO officers were formally
accused as participants (determiners) in the execution of a state contract
without fulfilling all legal requirements thereof. The first public hearing took
place on November 20, 2007. In this hearing the judge dismissed an annulment
petition filed by the ASOCRETO’s officers. The petition was based on the fact
that the officers were formally accused of a different crime than the one they
were being investigated for. This decision was appealed, but the decision was
confirmed by the Superior Court of Bogota. On 21st
January, 2008, CEMEX Colombia was subject to a judicial order, issued by the
court, sequestering a quarry called El Tujuelo, as security for a possible
future money judgment to be rendered against CEMEX Colombia in these
proceedings. The court determined that in order to lift this attachment and
prevent further attachments, CEMEX Colombia was required within a period of 10
days to deposit with the Court in cash COP $370,000,000,000 (approximately
U.S.$ 190 million as of April 24, 2007, based on an exchange rate of CoP1765 to
U.S.$1.00, which was the Colombian Peso/Dollar exchange rate on April 24, 2008,
as published by the Banco de la República de Colombia),
instead of being allowed to post an insurance policy to secure such recovery.
CEMEX Colombia asked for reconsideration, and the court allowed CEMEX Colombia
to present an insurance policy. Nevertheless, CEMEX appealed this decision, in
order to reduce the amount of the insurance policy, and also asked that this
guarantee should be covered by all of the defendants in this case. The measure
does not affect the normal activity of the quarry. At this
stage, we are not able to assess the likelihood of an adverse result or the
potential damages which could be borne by CEMEX Colombia.

     

    On August
5, 2005, Cartel Damages Claims, SA, or CDC, filed a lawsuit in the District
Court in Düsseldorf, Germany against CEMEX Deutschland AG and other German
cement companies. CDC is seeking €102 million in respect of damage claims by 28
entities relating to alleged price and quota fixing by German cement companies
between 1993 and 2002, which entities had assigned their claims to CDC. CDC is a
Belgian company established by two lawyers in the aftermath of the German cement
cartel investigation that took place from July 2002 to April 2003 by Germany's
Federal Cartel Office with the express purpose of purchasing potential damages
claims from cement consumers and pursuing those claims against the cartel
participants. In January 2006, another entity assigned alleged claims to CDC,
and the amount of damages being sought by CDC increased to €113.5 million plus
interest. On February 21, 2007, the District Court of Düsseldorf decided to
allow this lawsuit to proceed without going into the merits of this case by
issuing an interlocutory judgment. All defendants have appealed. The appeal
hearing took place on May 14, 2008 and the appeal was dismissed. The lawsuit
will proceed at the level of court of instance. As of today the defendants are
assessing whether or not to file a complaint before the Federal High Court. In
the meantime, CDC has had acquired new assigners and announced to increase the
claim to 131m€. As of March 31, 2008, we had accrued liabilities regarding this
matter for a total amount of approximately €20 million. 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    After an
extended consultation period, in April 2006, the cities of Kastela and Solin in
Croatia published their respective Master (physical) Plans defining the
development zones within their respective municipalities, adversely impacting
the mining concession granted to Dalmacijacement, our subsidiary in Croatia, by
the Government of Croatia in September 2005. During the consultation period,
Dalmacijacement submitted comments and suggestions to the Master Plans, but
these were not taken into account or incorporated into the Master Plan by
Kastela and Solin. Most of these comments and suggestions were intended to
protect and preserve the rights of Dalmacijacement ́s mining concession granted
by the Government of Croatia in September 2005. Immediately after publication of
the Master Plans, Dalmacijacement filed a series of lawsuits and legal actions
before the local and federal courts to protect its acquired rights under the
mining concessions. The legal actions taken and filed by Dalmacijacement were as
follows: (i) on May 17, 2006, a constitutional appeal before the constitutional
court in Zagreb, seeking a declaration by the court concerning Dalmacijacement's
constitutional claim for decrease and obstruction of rights earned by
investment, and seeking prohibition of implementation of the Master Plans; (ii)
on May 17, 2006, a possessory action against the cities of Kastela and Solin
seeking the enactment of interim measures prohibiting implementation of the
Master Plans and including a request to implead the Republic of Croatia into the
proceeding on our side, and (iii) on May 17, 2006, an administrative proceeding
before the State Lawyer, seeking a declaration from the Government of Croatia
confirming that Dalmacijacement acquired rights under the mining concessions.
Dalmacijacement received State Lawyer`s opinion which confirms the
Dalmacijacement`s acquired rights according to the previous decisions (“old
concession”). The municipal court in Solin issued a first instance judgment
dismissing our possessory action. We filed an appeal against that judgment. The
appeal has been resolved by County Court, affirming the judgment and rendering
it final. The Municipal Court in Kaštela has issued a first instance judgment
dismissing our possessory action. We have filed an appeal against the said
judgment. Currently it is difficult for Dalmacijacement to ascertain the
approximate economic impact of these measures by Kastela and Solin. These cases
are currently under review by the courts and applicable administrative entities
in Croatia, and it is expected that these proceedings will continue for several
years before resolution.

     

    Club of
Environmental Protection, a Latvian environmental protection organization, has
initiated a court administrative proceeding against the amended environmental
pollution permit for the Broceni Cement Plant in Latvia, owned by CEMEX SIA.
This case is currently under review by the first instance of the administrative
court, and it is expected that the case will continue for a few years if the
parties appeal further to the next court instances. Dispute of the decision
shall not suspend the operation and validity of the permit during the court
proceedings, allowing CEMEX SIA to continue to operate fully. If the court
decides to cancel or invalidate the permit, CEMEX SIA will not be allowed to
perform the activities covered by the permit. The permit subject to this
proceeding was issued for the existing cement line, which will be fully
substituted in 2009 by a new cement line currently under construction at the
Broceni plant.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    The
Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is completing a formal
investigation of suspected breaches of the Trade Practices Act by companies of
the Cement Australia partnership (in which CEMEX Australia - formerly called
Rinker Australia - has a 25% stake) commencing in 2001. The conduct being
investigated is the alleged tying-up of the fly-ash market in Queensland.
Documents have been produced and the ACCC has conducted records of interviews
with relevant employees.

    CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V.
(el
"Suscriptor"), por este PAGARE promete incondicionalmente pagar a la orden de
BANCO BILBAO VIZCAYA ARGENTARIA, S.A. - NEW YORK BRANCH (el "Banco"), la suma
principal de E.U.A $500,000,000[.00] (quinientos
millones de dólares [00/100]), moneda
de curso legal de los Estados Unidos de América ("Dólares"), mediante una única
amortización exigible y pagadera el día [Abril 29, 2011]________(anotar fecha de
pago) (en lo
sucesivo la "Fecha de Pago Final").

    

    A partir
de la fecha de suscripción del presente PAGARE y hasta su vencimiento, la suma
principal insoluta devengará intereses ordinarios, que el Suscriptor se obliga a
pagar al Banco en cada Fecha de Pago de Intereses (según se define más
adelante), a una tasa de interés anual igual al resultado de sumar 1.325 puntos
porcentuales a la Tasa LIBOR (según se define más adelante) aplicable durante
cada Período de Intereses (según se define más adelante).

    

    Para
calcular los intereses ordinarios de cada Período de Intereses, la tasa
anualizada de interés aplicable se dividirá entre 360 (TRESCIENTOS SESENTA) y el
resultado se multiplicará por el número de los días naturales que integren el
Período de Intereses de que se trate. La tasa resultante se multiplicará por el
saldo insoluto del presente PAGARE y el producto será la cantidad que por
concepto de intereses deberá pagar el Suscriptor al Banco en cada Fecha de Pago
de Intereses.

    

    En el
caso de que el Suscriptor no pague en la fecha de presentación de este PAGARE la
totalidad de la suma principal de este PAGARE, el Suscriptor pagará, a la vista,
intereses moratorios sobre la cantidad insoluta vencida y no pagada, computados
desde el día siguiente al de su vencimiento hasta el de su pago total, a una
tasa de interés anual igual al resultado de sumar 2% (dos por ciento) a la tasa
de intereses ordinaria prevista en este PAGARE.

    

    Para
calcular los intereses moratorios la tasa anualizada de interés moratorio
aplicable se dividirá entre 360 (TRESCIENTOS SESENTA) y el cociente se aplicará
a los saldos insolutos y vencidos, resultando así el interés moratorio de cada
día, que se ha obligado a pagar el Suscriptor en términos de este
PAGARE.

    

    Todos los
pagos conforme a este PAGARE se harán por el Suscriptor en favor del Banco, en
la Ciudad de Nueva York, N.Y., Estados Unidos de
América, mediante [abonos en la cuenta número [___] en el [insertar banco], en
la Ciudad de Nueva York, N.Y. con domicilio en [___] a favor de Banco Bilbao
Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. - New York Branch]; a más
tardar a las 3:30 P.M. (hora de la ciudad de Nueva York, N.Y.) en la fecha en
que se deban hacer dichos pagos, en Dólares y en fondos libremente transferibles
y disponibles el mismo día, o en cualquier otra cuenta que el Banco comunique
por escrito oportunamente a el Suscriptor.

    

    El
Suscriptor conviene en hacer todos los pagos respecto del principal e intereses
de este PAGARE, libres y exentos de y sin deducciones por concepto o a cuenta de
todos y/o de cualquier impuesto, derecho, tributo, retención, deducción, carga o
contribución presente o futura y de cualquier otra responsabilidad fiscal
presente o futura con respecto a dichos conceptos, pagaderos en cualquier
jurisdicción.

    

    Sin
perjuicio de lo señalado en el párrafo anterior y de acuerdo a lo dispuesto por
el artículo 51 de la Ley del Impuesto Sobre la Renta, el Suscriptor se obliga a
retener y enterar a las autoridades hacendarias correspondientes el importe del
impuesto sobre la renta de que se trata, en el entendido de que el Suscriptor
también se obliga a entregar al Banco las constancias de retención
correspondientes al referido impuesto, dentro de los [10 días] Días Hábiles
siguientes a la fecha del pago de los intereses correspondientes. A su vez,
el banco proporcionará en la fecha del referido pago, constancia de residencia
fiscal expedida por las autoridades fiscales correspondientes emitida dentro del
año de calendario de la fecha del pago. En caso
de que se modifique la disposición fiscal referida, dichas modificaciones serán
aplicables a los intereses que se originen del presente PAGARE a partir de la
fecha en que entren en vigor, continuando obligada el Suscriptor en los mismos
términos de este párrafo. El Suscriptor deberá cubrir las cantidades adicionales
que sean necesarias a fin de que el Banco reciba las sumas que le
corresponderían si no hubiera sido aplicable el impuesto a que se refiere este
párrafo.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    Siempre
que cualquier pago que deba hacerse conforme a este PAGARE venza, o cualquier
Período de Intereses termine, en un día que no sea Día Hábil (según dicho
término se define más adelante), dicho pago deberá hacerse, o dicho Período de
Intereses terminará, el Día Hábil inmediato [anterior], con el correspondiente
recálculo de intereses [por los días efectivamente transcurridos].

    "Fecha de Pago de
Intereses"
significa el 30 de junio y el 30 de diciembre de cada año, comenzando el 30 de
diciembre de 2008 y finalizando la Fecha de Pago Final, en el entendido que si
una Fecha de Pago de Intereses cae en un día que no es un Día Hábil, dicha Fecha

anterior.

    

    "Período de

segundo día hábil en Londres anterior al primer día del Período de Intereses

en Dólares a seis meses por montos no inferiores a un millón de Dólares (US$
1.000.000.00-) para bancos de referencia en el mercado interbancario de Londres
aproximadamente a las 11:00 a.m. (hora de Londres) en el segundo día hábil en
Londres anterior al primer día del respectivo Período de Intereses, para entrega
en el primer día del Período de interés respectivo y si, al menos dos de esa
tasas son así proporcionadas, la Tasa LIBOR para ese Período de Interés
significará el promedio aritmético (aproximado hacia arriba, si es necesario, a
lo más cercano de 1/16 de 1%) de tales tasas, y (iii) si menos de dos tasas
solicitadas son proporcionadas al Banco, Tasa LIBOR significará para ese Período
de Interés, el promedio aritmético (aproximado hacia arriba, si es necesario, en
la forma antes mencionada) de las respectivas tasas a las que se capten
depósitos a seis meses por montos no inferiores a un millón de Dólares (US$
1.000.000.00-) por cada uno de los tres principales bancos de la ciudad de Nueva
York, seleccionados por el Banco y aprobados por el Suscriptor para bancos
europeos de primera clase, a aproximadamente las 11:00 a.m. (hora de Nueva York)
al segundo día hábil previo al comienzo del respectivo Periodo de Interés para
entrega el primer día de tal Período de Interés.

cambiarios, se someten expresamente a las leyes y a la jurisdicción de los

    NOW, THEREFORE, in

    Section
3.  Application of
Funds. On each
Payment Date, CEMEX shall apply the funds in the Account toward its payment
obligations on such date to the Lender under the Credit Agreement. This
Framework Agreement and the arrangements described herein shall in no way affect
or modify the obligations of the Credit Parties under the Credit Agreement, or
the terms of such obligations set forth therein. The obligations of the Credit
Parties under the Credit Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with their
terms regardless of the failure of any payment by the Swap Counterparty to make
payment, the insolvency of the Swap Counterparty or the absence of any funds to
the credit of the Account.

     

    Section
4.  Amendments. Nothing set forth herein
shall give the Lender or the Swap Counterparty any rights under the agreements
to which they are not party. For the avoidance of doubt, the Lender shall have
no rights with respect to the Swap Transaction and the Swap Counterparty shall
have no rights with respect to the Credit Agreement. Amendments to each of the
documents constituting the Swap Transaction shall be permitted only as set forth
therein.

     

    Section
5.  Miscellaneous. This Framework
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of the parties
hereto may execute this Framework Agreement by signing any such counterpart.
THIS FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND
ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT
REFERENCE TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE
NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). Paragraph headings have been inserted in this
Framework Agreement as a matter of convenience for reference only and it is
agreed that such headings are not a part of this Framework Agreement and shall
not be used in the interpretation of any provision of this Framework Agreement.
EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS WAIVER OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY).
