(b) Form of Reverse of Note.
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (the “Notes”), issued under an Indenture, dated as of September 30, 2009 (the “2009 Indenture”), among the Company, Radiomóvil Dipsa, S.A. de C.V., a sociedad anónima de capital variable organized and existing under the laws of Mexico (“Telcel,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture), and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), Security Registrar, Paying Agent and Transfer Agent, as amended and supplemented by the Ninth Supplemental Indenture dated as of October 27, 2011 (“Ninth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the 2009 Indenture, the “Base Indenture”), among the Company, Telcel and the Trustee, as further supplemented by the Tenth Supplemental Indenture dated as of October 27, 2011 (the “Tenth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Trustee and The Bank of New York Mellon (Luxembourg) S.A., as Luxembourg Paying Agent and
6
Luxembourg Transfer Agent and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The terms, conditions and provisions of this Note are those stated in the Indenture (including those made a part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act) and those set forth in this Note. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof.
Additional notes on terms and conditions identical to those of this Note (except for issue date, issue price and the date from which interest shall accrue and, if applicable, first be paid) may be issued by the Company without the consent of the Holders of the Notes. The amount evidenced by such additional Notes shall increase the aggregate principal amount of, and shall be consolidated and form a single series with, the Notes, in which case the Schedule of Increases and Decreases in Global Note attached hereto will be correspondingly adjusted.
In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Note shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or of the Notes) payment of principal and premium, if any, or interest need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or at the Stated Maturity, as the case may be; provided that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.
In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.
If an Event of Default with respect to Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
All payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of the Notes shall be made after withholding or deduction for any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of Mexico or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax (“Mexican Taxes”). In the event of any withholding or deduction for any Mexican Taxes, the Company shall pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as will result in receipt by the Holders of Notes on the respective due dates of such amounts as would have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction (including for any Mexican Taxes payable in respect of Additional Amounts) been required, except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to any payment on a Note to the extent:
(i) that any such taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges are imposed solely because of (A) a connection between the Holder and Mexico other than the ownership or holding of such Note and the mere receipt of payments with respect to such Note or (B) failure by the Holder or any other Person to comply with any certification, identification or other reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with Mexico of the Holder or any beneficial owner of such Note if compliance is required by law, regulation or by an applicable income tax treaty to which Mexico is a party, as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, the tax, assessment or other governmental charge and we have given the Holders at least 30 days’ notice prior to the first payment date with respect to
7
which such certification, identification or reporting requirement is required to the effect that Holders will be required to provide such information and identification;
(ii) of any such taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges with respect to such Note presented for payment more than 15 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for and notice thereof given to Holders, whichever occurs later, except to the extent that the Holder of such Note would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on presenting such Note for payment on any date during such 15-day period;
(iii) of estate, inheritance, gift or other similar taxes, assessments or other governmental charge imposed with respect to such Note;
(iv) of any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments on such Note;
(v) of any payment on such Note to a Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or a person other than the sole beneficial owner of any such payment, to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such a partnership or the beneficial owner of such payment would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the Holder of such Note;
(vi) of any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge imposed on a payment to an individual and required to be made pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC on the taxation of savings income or any other directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meetings of November 26 and 27, 2000, December 13, 2001, and January 21, 2003, or any law or agreement implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such a directive; and
(vii) any combination of the items in Clauses (i) through (vi) above.
For purposes of the provisions described in Clause (i) above, the term “Holder” of any Note means the direct nominee of any beneficial owner of such Note, which holds such beneficial owner’s interest in such Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations on the Company’s obligation to pay Additional Amounts set forth in Clause (i)(B) above shall not apply if (a) the provision of information, documentation or other evidence described in such Clause (i)(B) would be materially more onerous, in form, in procedure or in the substance of information disclosed, to a Holder or beneficial owner of a Note (taking into account any relevant differences between U.S. and Mexican law, regulation or administrative practice) than comparable information or other reporting requirements imposed under U.S. tax law (including the United States—Mexico Income Tax Treaty), regulations (including proposed regulations) and administrative practice or (b) Rule I.3.17.11 (or any successor provision) is in effect, unless the provision of the information, documentation or other evidence described in such Clause (i)(B) is expressly required by statute, regulation, rule or administrative practice in order to apply Rule I.3.17.11 (or any successor provision) and the Company cannot obtain such information, documentation or other evidence on its own through reasonable diligence and the Company otherwise would meet the requirements for application of Rule I.3.17.11 (or any successor provision). In addition, such Clause (i)(B) shall not be construed to require that a non-Mexican pension or retirement fund or a non-Mexican financial institution or any other Person register with the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit for the purpose of establishing eligibility for an exemption from or reduction of Mexican withholding tax.
8
The Company shall provide the Trustee with the xxxxxxxxxx or other relevant documentation, if any (which may consist of certified copies of such documentation), satisfactory to the Trustee evidencing the payment of Mexican Taxes in respect of which the Company has paid any Additional Amounts. Copies of such documentation shall be made available to the Holders of the Notes or any Paying Agent, as applicable, upon request therefor.
The Company shall pay all stamp, issue, registration, documentary or other similar duties, if any, which may be imposed by Mexico or any governmental entity or political subdivision therein or thereof, or any taxing authority of or in any of the foregoing, with respect to the Indenture or the issuance of the Notes.
All references herein and in the Indenture to principal, premium, if any, interest or any other amount payable in respect of any Note shall be deemed to include all Additional Amounts, if any, payable in respect of such principal, premium, interest or other amount payable, unless the context otherwise requires, and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts in any provision hereof shall not be construed as excluding reference to Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.
In the event that Additional Amounts actually paid with respect to the Notes pursuant to the preceding paragraphs are based on rates of deduction or withholding of withholding taxes in excess of the appropriate rate applicable to the Holder of such Notes, and, as a result thereof such Holder is entitled to make claim for a refund or credit of such excess from the authority imposing such withholding tax, then such Holder shall, by accepting such Notes, be deemed to have assigned and transferred all right, title, and interest to any such claim for a refund or credit of such excess to the Company. However, by making such assignment, the Holder makes no representation or warranty that the Company will be entitled to receive such claim for a refund or credit and incurs no other obligation with respect thereto.
All references herein and in the Indenture to principal in respect of any Note shall be deemed to mean and include any Redemption Price payable in respect of such Note pursuant to any redemption right hereunder (and all such references to the Stated Maturity of the principal in respect of any Note shall be deemed to mean and include the Redemption Date with respect to any such Redemption Price), and all such references to principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts shall be deemed to mean and include any amount payable in respect hereof pursuant to Section 1009 of the Base Indenture.
The Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at any time and, only in the case of clause (ii) below, from time to time:
(i) in whole but not in part, at a Redemption Price equal to the sum of (A) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, (B) accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date and (C) any Additional Amounts which would otherwise be payable thereon up to but not including the Redemption Date, solely if, as a result of any amendment to, or change in, the laws (or any rules or regulations thereunder) of Mexico or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation or any amendment to or change in an official interpretation or application of such laws, rules or regulations, which amendment to or change in such laws, rules or regulations becomes effective on or after October 27, 2011, the Company would be obligated, after making reasonable endeavors to avoid such requirement, to pay Additional Amounts in excess of the Additional Amounts that the Company would be obligated to pay if payments made on the Notes were subject to withholding or deduction of Mexican Taxes at the rate of 4.9%; provided, however, that (1) no notice of redemption pursuant to this clause (i) may be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would be
9
obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment on the Notes were then due and (2) at the time such notice of redemption is given, the Company’s obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remains in effect; and
(ii) in whole or in part, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes being redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on an annual basis (calculated using a 365-day year or a 366-day year, as applicable, and the actual number of days elapsed) at the Bund Rate plus 50 basis points, plus, in the case of (1) and (2), accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of such Notes to but not including the Redemption Date.
For purposes of clause (ii) above, the following terms shall have the specified meanings:
“Bund Rate” means, as of any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the yield to maturity as of such Redemption Date of the Comparable German Bund Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable German Bund Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable German Bund Price for such Redemption Date.
“Comparable German Bund Issue” means the German Bundesanleihe security selected by any Reference German Bund Dealer as having a fixed maturity most nearly equal to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed and that would be utilized at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of euro-denominated corporate debt securities in a principal amount approximately equal to the then outstanding principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and of a maturity most nearly equal to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed; provided, however, that, if the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed is not equal to the fixed maturity of the German Bundesanleihe security selected by such Reference German Bund Dealer, the Bund Rate shall be determined by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the yields of German Bundesanleihe securities for which such yields are given, except that if the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed is less than one year, a fixed maturity of one year shall be used.
“Comparable German Bund Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the average of all Reference German Bund Dealer Quotations for such date (which, in any event, must include at least two such quotations), after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference German Bund Dealer Quotations, or if the Trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference German Bund Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
“Reference German Bund Dealer” means each of Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited and Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, or their affiliates, which are dealers of German Bundesanleihe securities and one other leading dealer of German Bundesanleihe securities reasonably designated by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a dealer of German Bundesanleihe securities, the Company will substitute therefor another dealer of German Bundesanleihe securities.
“Reference German Bund Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference German Bund Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable German Bund Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference German Bund Dealer at 3:30 p.m. (Frankfurt, Germany time) on the third business day preceding such Redemption Date.

The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or premium, if any, and/or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof.
