transaction free and clear of any security interest, lien,
encumbrance, injunction or garnishment (rounded up to the nearest
whole number of shares) equal to the aggregate number of Shares
owned, in the aggregate, beneficially by ADP multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares to be
sold by the Selling Shareholder and the denominator of which is
the total number of Shares owned beneficially by the Selling
Shareholder and any Related Party; provided, however, that a
Tag-Along Right with respect to Shares owned by ADP subject to
minimum holding requirements pursuant to Section 2.4.1 of the
Participation Agreement may only be exercised following the
expiration of the 15 Year Waiting Period set forth in Section
2.4.1 of the Participation Agreement or before, if the 51%
minimum shareholding participation requirement for the Key
Partners and the 10% minimum shareholding participation
requirement for the Operating Partner are removed, waived by the
SCT or otherwise no longer applicable, and (ii) sell or transfer
to the Purchaser the same percentage, based on the number of
Shares to be transferred or sold by ADP, of then outstanding
loans granted and capital contributions made by ADP to the
Strategic Partner. The Selling Shareholder shall, to the extent
necessary, reduce the number of Shares that it is seeking to sell
to allow for the appropriate Shares of ADP to be sold in such
proposed transaction.
7.4.2 The Selling Shareholder shall give written notice (the
"Tag-Along Notice") to ADP of each proposed sale or transfer by
it of Shares which gives rise to the rights of ADP set forth in
Clause 7.4.1, at least twenty (20) days prior to the proposed
consummation of such sale, setting forth (i) the identity of the

consideration per Share to be paid in the subject sale or
transfer (including a copy of the underlying agreement, if any,
with the Purchaser), (iii) the proposed closing date for such
transaction and (iv) the other material terms and conditions of
such transaction.
7.4.3 The Tag-Along Right may be exercised by ADP, by delivering a
written notice (the "Tag-Along Exercise Notice") to the Selling
Shareholder, within fifteen (15) days (the "Tag-Along Exercise
Period") following the delivery of the Tag-Along Notice. The
Tag-Along Exercise Notice shall indicate the wish of ADP to
exercise its Tag-Along Right and specify the number of Shares (up
to the maximum number of Shares required to be purchased by the
Purchaser) and the amount of outstanding loans granted and
capital contributions made by ADP to the Strategic Partner that
it wishes to sell or transfer in the proposed transaction, and
the Selling Shareholder shall be obligated to include (and the
Purchaser obligated to purchase) such number of Shares and amount
of outstanding loans and capital contributions as part of the
proposed transaction. ADP and the Selling Shareholder shall
thereafter take all action, as may reasonably be
14
requested in order to facilitate the closing of the applicable
transaction and to effectuate the provisions of this Clause 7.4

agreements and other instruments for the consummation of the
proposed transaction) within a period not to exceed 90 days.
7.4.4 If ADP does not timely deliver its Tag-Along Exercise Notice or
elects not to exercise its Tag-Along Right, the Selling
Shareholder shall have one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days
following the expiration of the Tag-Along Exercise Period in
which to consummate the proposed transaction on substantially the
terms contained in the Tag-Along Notice, subject to Clause 7.1.4.
Promptly after the consummation of any such transaction, the
Selling Shareholder shall notify ADP of the consummation thereof.
If the Selling Shareholder does not complete the transaction
within the 120-calendar-day period specified in this Clause 7.4.4
or if the terms of the proposed transaction differ in any
material respect from those described in the Tag-Along Notice,
the Selling Shareholder may not engage in such transaction
without repeating the procedures in this Clause 7.4.
7.4.5 If subsequent to the consummation of any transaction in respect
of which ADP elected to exercise its Tag-Along Right, the Selling
Shareholder or any Related Party of the Selling Shareholder
receives any additional consideration in respect of such
transaction, directly or indirectly, from the Purchaser or from a
Related Party of the Purchaser or from any person directed by the
Purchaser, the Seller shall be obligated to share such additional
consideration with ADP, taking into account the number of Shares
transferred by each of them respectively."

a block in the same manner as SETA decides to vote the shares it holds directly
or indirectly in GACN; provided, however, that if ADP maintains a shareholding
participation in SETA of 10% or less of the capital stock of SETA, Aeroinvest
shall be required to vote the 36% Option Shares (or cause all such shares to be
voted) in all shareholder meetings of GACN as a block in the same manner as SETA

the extent the item on the agenda of the GACN shareholders meeting falls within
the matters set forth in Clause 3.1.5 (c), (e), (f), (g), (j) or (m) of the ARCA
as amended by this Amendment, and provided, further, that before voting the 36%
Option Shares in any shareholder meeting of GACN to approve any dividend

Multiple, GE Capital Grupo Financiero as trustee (the "Guaranty Trust Trustee")
(i) to secure a bank financing to be obtained by Aeroinvest to complete the

Option Shares are always voted in all shareholder meetings of GACN by the
Guaranty Trust Trustee as a block in the manner described in this Section 9 and
(iii) to ensure that upon expiration or termination of the Guaranty Trust
Agreement for reasons other than (a) a foreclosure of the security created
therein and the sale of the 36% Option Shares to a third party which is not a
Related Party of Aeroinvest, (b) a public offering of the 36% Option Shares, or
(c) a transfer of the 36% Option Shares to an irrevocable trust where the
trustee thereof is required to vote the 36% Option Shares in the same manner as
the majority of the capital stock of GACN decides to vote, pursuant to paragraph

anniversary of the Guaranty Trust Agreement when Aeroinvest elects not to sell
through a public offering the 36% Option Shares for the pricing considerations
set forth in such paragraph B, the 36% Option Shares (and any other shares
representing capital stock of GACN then forming part of the assets of the trust
created pursuant to the Guaranty Trust Agreement) shall be reverted indirectly
to Aeroinvest, as settlor and beneficiary in second place in the Guaranty Trust
Agreement, or sold to the third party purchaser thereof that is a Related Party
of Aeroinvest, as the case may be, by having the Guaranty Trust Trustee transfer
all such shares to a Mexican bank acting as trustee of a trust to be established
with Aeroinvest or such related third party purchaser, as the case may be, as
beneficiary, which trust shall provide the same voting arrangements in respect
of all such shares as those set forth in the Guaranty Trust Agreement and the
Irrevocable Mandate Agreement referred to below, the terms and conditions of
which shall be in form and substance satisfactory to ADP.
Aeroinvest agrees to fully implement and reflect in the Guaranty Trust
Agreement, concurrently with the purchase of the 36% Option Shares, the
provisions set forth in this Section to the satisfaction of ADP. Furthermore,
ADP's consent to the NAFIN Transaction is subject to the condition that
Aeroinvest and the Guaranty Trust Trustee shall have executed concurrently with
the purchase of the 36% Option Shares and the execution of the Guaranty Trust
Agreement an Irrevocable Mandate Agreement in the form attached hereto as Annex

Aeroinvest acknowledges and agrees that a breach of the agreements contained
herein would constitute a breach of a material obligation assumed for the
benefit of ADP that would cause irreparable harm to ADP and that monetary
damages would not be sufficient to compensate ADP for such a breach.

capital stock, merger, reorganization or
25
any other method) any shares or other interest in GACN or in any of GCN's
Subsidiaries, without prior consultation with, and adequate opportunity to
comment being Afforded to, ADP.
