Schedule A

UNITED MEXICAN STATES

UNDERWRITING TERMS

DATED JUNE 2020

The United Mexican States (“Mexico”) proposes to issue and sell from time to time certain of its unsecured debt securities (the “Debt Securities”) that may be registered under the Registration Statement, as defined in Section 1(p) hereof. Each series of the Debt Securities issued on the date hereof (each, a “Series”), will be constituted under an amended and restated indenture, dated as of June 1, 2015, as amended from time to time after the date hereof (the “Indenture”), between Mexico and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and an authorization delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.1(c) of the Indenture and applicable to such Series (each, an “Authorization” and, collectively, “Authorizations”). Unless otherwise specifically provided for and set forth in a Prospectus Supplement (as defined below), the Debt Securities denominated and payable in U.S. dollars will be issued in denominations of U.S.$2,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof. The authorized denominations of Debt Securities denominated in currencies (including composite currencies) other than U.S. dollars will be set forth in an applicable Prospectus Supplement. The Debt Securities may be issued in registered, book-entry or certificated form. The Debt Securities of each Series will have the interest rates, maturities and, if applicable, other terms set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. The Debt Securities of each Series will be issued, and the terms thereof established, in accordance with the Indenture, the Authorization and the Terms Agreement (as defined in Section 2(a)). For the purposes of these underwriting terms (the “Underwriting Terms”), the term “Underwriter” shall refer to each underwriter that has agreed to severally purchase the Debt Securities and has executed the accompanying Terms Agreement with Mexico in respect of the sale and purchase of the Debt Securities, and for whom one or more representatives (the “Representatives”) will act as representatives. In acting under this Agreement, each Underwriter is acting individually and not jointly, unless otherwise specified in the Terms Agreement.

All references herein to “this Agreement” shall refer to the Terms Agreement, including these Underwriting Terms as incorporated therein.

All references in this Agreement to principal, premium and interest in respect of the Debt Securities shall, unless the context otherwise requires, be deemed to include all additional amounts, if any, payable in respect thereof as a result of any withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by Mexico or any political subdivision or any taxing authority in Mexico as set forth in the Debt Securities.

1. Representations and Warranties. Mexico represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each Underwriter as set forth below in this Section 1. Certain terms used in this Section 1 are defined in paragraph (p) hereof.

A-1

(a) Mexico meets the requirements for use of Schedule B under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), is a seasoned foreign government within the meaning of Commission Release No. 33-6424 and has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a Registration Statement on such Schedule, including a Base Prospectus, which has become effective for the registration under the Act for debt securities or warrants, including the Debt Securities. Such Registration Statement meets the requirements set forth in Commission Release No. 33-6424 and complies in all other material respects with such Release. Mexico has included in such Registration Statement, or has filed or will file with the Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) under the Act, a Base Prospectus, including the plan of distribution of the Debt Securities. In connection with the sale of the Debt Securities in the United States, Mexico proposes to file with the Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) under the Act further supplements to the Base Prospectus (each, a “Prospectus Supplement”) specifying the principal amount, interest rates, maturity dates, any updates or amendments to the plan of distribution relating to the Debt Securities and, if appropriate, other terms of such Debt Securities sold pursuant hereto or the offering thereof.

(b) As of the Execution Date, on the Effective Date, when any supplement to the Prospectus is filed with the Commission and at the date of delivery by Mexico of the Debt Securities sold under this Agreement (the “Closing Date”), (i) the Registration Statement, and the Prospectus, as supplemented as of any such time, will comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act and the rules thereunder; (ii) all documents incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus as filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) will comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder; (iii) the Registration Statement did not or will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; and (iv) the Prospectus, as supplemented as of any such time, and the Time of Sale Information (as defined in Section 1(p)), will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed in Exhibit A to the Terms Agreement did not or will not conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus; provided, however, that Mexico makes no representations or warranties as to the information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to Mexico by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus.

(c) Subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Time of Sale Information, except as set forth in or contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Time of Sale Information and as of the Execution Date of this Agreement, there has not been any material adverse change in or affecting the financial, economic, political or other condition of Mexico.

(d) All necessary action by or on behalf of Mexico has been taken or will have been taken prior to the Closing Date, and prior to such date any necessary approvals or consents required under the laws of Mexico will have been duly obtained, and on such date will be in full force and effect, for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Indenture and each Authorization, for the issuance of Debt Securities under the Indenture and sale of Debt Securities by Mexico under this Agreement, including, without limitation, a Decree of the President of Mexico and the confirmation of authority (the “Confirmation of Authority”) issued by the Secretary of Finance and Public Credit.

(e) The Debt Securities have been duly authorized and, when executed and authenticated in accordance with the Indenture and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with this Agreement, will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and will constitute valid and legally binding, direct, general, unconditional and unsubordinated Public External Indebtedness of Mexico (as defined below) for which the full faith and credit of Mexico is pledged. The Debt Securities and the Indenture will conform to the descriptions thereof in the Prospectus. “External Indebtedness” shall mean any Indebtedness that is a payment obligation or contingent liability payable in any currency other than the currency of Mexico (other than any such Indebtedness that is originally issued or incurred within Mexico). For this purpose, settlement of original issuance by delivery of Indebtedness (or the instruments evidencing such Indebtedness) within Mexico shall be deemed to be original issuance within Mexico. “Indebtedness” shall mean any payment obligation, including any contingent liability, of any person arising from bonds, debentures, notes or other securities. “Public External Indebtedness” shall mean any Public Indebtedness that is a payment obligation or contingent liability payable in any currency other than the currency of Mexico (other than any such Public Indebtedness that is originally issued or incurred within Mexico). For this purpose, settlement of original issuance by delivery of Public Indebtedness (or the instruments evidencing such Public Indebtedness) within Mexico shall be deemed to be original issuance within Mexico. “Public Indebtedness” shall mean any payment obligation, including any contingent liability, of any person arising from bonds, debentures, Debt Securities or other securities that (A) are, or were intended at the time of issuance to be, quoted, listed or traded on any securities exchange or other securities market (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Act (or any successor law or regulation of similar effect)) and (B) have an original maturity of more than one year or are combined with a commitment so that the original maturity of one year or less may be extended at the option of Mexico to a period in excess of one year.

(f) Other than as set forth in the Prospectus and the Time of Sale Information, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending to which Mexico is a party or of which any of its properties is the subject which, if determined adversely to Mexico, would individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on Mexico’s ability to perform its obligations under the Debt Securities, this Agreement, the Indenture and each Authorization; and, to the best of Mexico’s knowledge, no such proceedings have been threatened.

A-2

(g) Mexico is not in default in the payment of principal, interest or any other amounts owing on any obligation in respect of Indebtedness for money borrowed and Mexico has not received any notice of default (other than with respect to any failure to deliver periodically economic or financial information pursuant to agreements relating to Mexico’s Indebtedness) or acceleration with respect to any obligation in respect of Indebtedness for money borrowed; and the issuance and sale of the Debt Securities and the compliance by Mexico with all of the provisions of the Debt Securities, the Indenture, the Authorizations and this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions herein and therein contemplated will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any treaty, convention, material agreement or material instrument to which Mexico is a party or by which it is bound and will not result in the creation or imposition of any mortgage, lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the revenues or assets of Mexico under any such agreement or instrument and will not infringe any law or regulation of Mexico.

(h) (i) There is no tax, levy, deduction, charge or withholding imposed by Mexico or any political subdivision thereof either (A) on or by virtue of the execution, delivery or enforcement of this Agreement, the Indenture or the Authorizations or (B) on any payment to be made by Mexico under this Agreement or any payment of principal, premium, interest or additional amounts, if any, under any Debt Security, provided that such Debt Security is held by an individual or corporation that is not a resident of Mexico for tax purposes directly and not through a permanent establishment thereof for tax purposes in Mexico.

(ii) No stamp, registration or similar taxes or duties are payable by or on behalf of any Underwriter to Mexico or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein in connection with (A) the purchase by the Underwriters of Debt Securities or (B) the sale by any Underwriter of Debt Securities.

(f) Mexico will make generally available to its security holders in the United States and to the Representatives as soon as practicable, a statement of Mexico’s revenues and expenditures for the first full fiscal year commencing after the date hereof which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 under the Act.

(v) the issuance and sale of the Securities to the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement do not, and the performance by Mexico of its obligations in this Agreement, the Indenture and the Debt Securities will not, result in a violation of any United States federal or New York State law that in such counsel’s experience normally would be applicable with respect to such issuance, sale or performance (but we express no opinion relating to any United States federal securities laws or state securities or Blue Sky laws);

(vi) under the laws of the State of New York relating to submission to jurisdiction, Mexico has pursuant to Section 15 hereof validly and irrevocably submitted to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court located in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in any action arising out of or based upon this Agreement, has to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law validly and irrevocably waived any objection to the venue of any such action in any such court, and has validly and irrevocably appointed its Consul General in The City of New York as its authorized agent for the purpose described in Section 15 hereof; service of process effected in the manner set forth in Section 15 hereof will be effective to confer valid personal jurisdiction over Mexico in any such action; and the waiver by Mexico pursuant to Section 15 hereof of any immunity to jurisdiction to which it may otherwise be entitled (including sovereign immunity and immunity from pre-judgment attachment, post-judgment attachment and execution) is valid and binding under New York and federal law, subject to the limitations imposed by the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976;

(vii) the statements set forth under the heading “Description of the Securities—Debt Securities” in the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented by the statements set forth in the preliminary and final Prospectus Supplement and the documents listed in Schedule I of such opinion, insofar as such statements purport to summarize certain provisions of the Debt Securities and the Indenture, provide a fair summary of such provisions; and

A-10

(viii) the description of U.S. Federal tax consequences set forth under the caption “Taxation—United States Federal Taxation” in the Base Prospectus, insofar as such description purports to summarize federal laws of the United States referred to thereunder, constitutes a fair summary of the principal U.S. Federal tax consequences of an investment in the Debt Securities.

In rendering such opinion, such counsel may state that (x) they have assumed that any documents referred to in their opinion and executed by Mexico have been duly authorized, executed and delivered pursuant to Mexican law; and (y) they have assumed that Mexico and each other party to such agreement or obligation has satisfied those legal requirements that are applicable to it to the extent necessary to make such agreement or obligation enforceable against it (except that no such assumption is made as to Mexico regarding matters of the federal law of the United States of America or the law of the State of New York that in such counsel’s experience are normally applicable with respect to such agreement or obligation). In addition, such counsel shall have furnished to the Representatives a letter, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that:

(i) the Registration Statement, at the time it became effective, and the Prospectus (except the financial data included therein, the statistical data (including the mining and petroleum reserve and production data) included in the sourcebook, and Exhibit C to Mexico’s annual report on Form 18-K for the applicable fiscal year (the “18-K”), as to which such counsel need express no view), as of the Time of Sale and the Closing Date, appeared on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder;

(ii) no information has come to such counsel’s attention that causes such counsel to believe that the Registration Statement (except the financial data included therein, the statistical data (including the mining and petroleum reserve and production data) included in the sourcebook, and Exhibit C to the 18-K, as to which such counsel need express no view), at the time it became effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

(iii) no information has come to such counsel’s attention that causes such counsel to believe that the Time of Sale Information (as of the Time of Sale) or the Prospectus (except the financial data included therein, the statistical data (including the mining and petroleum reserve and production data) included in the sourcebook, and Exhibit C to the 18-K, as to which such counsel need express no view), as of the Time of Sale and the Closing Date, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and

(iv) the Registration Statement is effective under the Act and, to the best of such counsel’s knowledge, no stop order with respect thereto has been issued, or proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or threatened, by the Commission.

Such counsel may state that in connection with the foregoing statements it expresses no view as to the information included in the Base Prospectus under the caption “Plan of Distribution.” Such counsel may also state that they are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (except to the extent expressly set forth in subsection (vii) or (viii) above) and that such counsel makes no representation that such counsel has independently verified the accuracy, completeness and fairness of such statements (except as aforesaid);

(d) The Representatives shall have received from Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx x Xxxxxxx, S.C., Mexican counsel to the Underwriters, an opinion, dated the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives. In rendering such opinion, such Mexican counsel to the Underwriters may rely, without independent investigation on its part, as to all matters governed by United States Federal and New York law upon the opinion of the United States counsel to the Underwriters described in subsection (e) of this Section 6;

(e) The Representatives shall have received from Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, United States counsel to the Underwriters, such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing Date, with respect to the issuance and sale of the Debt Securities, the Indenture, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (together with any supplement thereto) and other related matters as the Representatives may reasonably require, and Mexico shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters. In rendering such opinion, such United States counsel to the Underwriters may rely, without independent investigation on its part, as to matters governed by Mexican law upon the opinion of the Federal Fiscal Attorney of the Federation, the Deputy Federal Fiscal Attorney of the Federation for Financial Affairs of Mexico or the Deputy Director General of Legal Procedures of Credit of the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit described in subsection (b) of this Section 6 and the opinion of the Mexican counsel to the Underwriters described in subsection (d) of this Section 6;

(f) Mexico shall have furnished to the Representatives a certificate, signed by an official named in the Confirmation of Authority, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the signer of such certificate has carefully examined the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any supplement to the Prospectus and this Agreement and that:

(i) the representations and warranties of Mexico in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date with the same effect as if made on such date;

(ii) Mexico has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied as a condition to the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase the Debt Securities;

(iii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to the best of Mexico’s knowledge, threatened; and

(iv) since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented there has been no material adverse change in or affecting the financial, economic, political or other condition of Mexico except as set forth in or contemplated by the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

A-11

(g) An official named in the Confirmation of Authority shall have furnished to the Representatives a certificate, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that as of its effective date, the Registration Statement and any further amendment thereto made by Mexico prior to the Closing Date did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and that, as of their respective dates, the Time of Sale Information, the Prospectus and any further amendment or supplement thereto made by Mexico prior to the Closing Date did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and that, as of the Closing Date, neither the Registration Statement nor the Prospectus or any further amendment or supplement thereto made by Mexico prior to the Closing Date contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the foregoing certification shall not apply to any statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Mexico in writing by or on behalf of the Underwriters through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto; and

(h) Prior to the Closing Date, Mexico shall have furnished to the Representatives such further information, certificates and documents as the Representatives may reasonably request and the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters.

The documents required to be delivered by this Section 6 shall be delivered at the office of the United States counsel to Mexico, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000.

If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled in all material respects when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement and required to be delivered to the Representatives pursuant to the terms thereof (other than any such opinions or certificates delivered to and accepted by the Representatives prior to the Execution Date of this Agreement) shall not be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, this Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder and with respect to the Debt Securities subject thereto may be cancelled at, or at any time prior to, the respective Closing Date by the Representatives. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to Mexico in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.

7. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) Mexico agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which any such Underwriter, director, officer, employee, agent, or person who controls any such Underwriter may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information (or any part thereof) or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses, as incurred, reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that Mexico will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Mexico by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein.

Mexico further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any requirement under the laws of Mexico to pay any stamp or similar taxes in connection with any issuance of the Debt Securities to such Underwriter by Mexico.

(b) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Mexico and each of its officials, including its authorized representative in the United States, who signs the Registration Statement to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from Mexico to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to Mexico by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Underwriter may otherwise have.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below);

A-12

provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent will be not unreasonably withheld. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought under this Agreement (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 7 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, Mexico and each Underwriter agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively “Losses”) to which Mexico and one or more Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by Mexico and by each Underwriter from the offering of the Debt Securities from which such Losses arise; provided, however, that in no case shall any Underwriter be responsible for any amount in excess of the commissions received by such Underwriters in connection with the sale of the Debt Securities from which such Losses arise (or, in the case of Debt Securities sold pursuant to this Agreement, the aggregate commissions or underwriting discounts payable pursuant thereto). If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, Mexico and each Underwriter shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of Mexico and of each Underwriter in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by Mexico shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) of the Debt Securities from which such Losses arise, and benefits received by each Underwriter shall be deemed to be equal to the aggregate commissions or underwriting discounts payable pursuant to this Agreement in connection with the sale of the Debt Securities from which such Losses arise. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether any alleged untrue statement or omission relates to information provided by Mexico or any Underwriter. Mexico and each Underwriter agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7, each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of such Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter and each official of Mexico who shall have signed the Registration Statement shall have the same rights to contribution as Mexico, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

8. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Debt Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the principal amount of Debt Securities set forth opposite the names in Annex I to the Terms Agreement bears to the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Debt Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities which the defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities set forth in Annex I to the Terms Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all (but not less than all), but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Debt Securities, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all of the Debt Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any nondefaulting Underwriter or Mexico. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 8, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five business days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to Mexico and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder. As used herein, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter pursuant to this Section 8.

9. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to Mexico prior to delivery of any payment for any Debt Security to be purchased thereunder, if prior to such time:

(a) there shall have occurred, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, any material adverse change, prospective or otherwise, in or affecting the financial, economic, political or other condition, or foreign exchange controls, of Mexico, otherwise than as set forth in or contemplated by the Prospectus, the effect of which has, in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives, so material and adverse an impact on the market for Mexico’s securities as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of such Debt Securities;

A-13

(b) there shall have been, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, (1) any downgrading in the rating accorded Mexico’s debt securities by Standard & Poor’s, a division of the XxXxxx-Xxxx Companies, Inc. (“Standard & Poor’s”) or, in the event Standard & Poor’s is no longer rating the debt securities of Mexico, another nationally recognized statistical rating agency as reasonably agreed upon by Mexico and the Representatives or (2) any public announcement that the rating of any of Mexico’s debt securities is under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, by Standard & Poor’s or such other rating agency, as aforesaid, except that if the Terms Agreement so specifies, this Section 9(b) will not apply;

(c) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such Exchange;

(d) trading of any securities of Mexico shall have been formally suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market outside Mexico;

(e) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York or Mexico shall have been declared by either United States or New York State authorities or authorities of Mexico, respectively;

(f) a material disruption of the settlement or clearance of debt securities in the United States, Europe or Mexico shall occur and continue until at least the business day preceding the Closing Date, and such event shall make it impractical to proceed with the delivery of such Debt Securities; or

(g) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities involving the United States or Mexico or the declaration by the United States or Mexico of a national emergency or war or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of such Debt Securities as contemplated by the Prospectus.

10. Survival of Certain Provisions. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of Mexico or its officers and of each Underwriter set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of each Underwriter or Mexico or any of the directors, officers, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 7 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Debt Securities. The provisions of Sections 5(k) and 7 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

11. Notices. All communications under this Agreement will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Representatives, will be mailed or delivered and confirmed to the Representatives at the address specified in the Terms Agreement or otherwise furnished to Mexico in writing for the purpose of communications under this Agreement or, if sent to Mexico, will be mailed, delivered or sent by electronic mail and confirmed to it at:

This Agreement shall become binding on each of the Underwriters and Mexico at such time as such Underwriter shall execute and deliver to Mexico a duly executed counterpart of the Terms Agreement. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, their respective successors, the directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons referred to in Section 7 hereof, and no other person will have any right or obligation under this Agreement.

15. Appointment of Agent for Service. Mexico has irrevocably appointed its Consul General in New York City and his successors as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon whom process may be served in any action by any Underwriter, or by any persons controlling such Underwriter, arising out of or based upon this Agreement which may be instituted in any state or federal court in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (the “Specified Courts”). Each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the Specified Courts in respect of any such action, irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action in the Specified Courts and waives any right to which it may be entitled on account of residence or domicile. Mexico will maintain at all times in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, a person acting as or discharging the function of Consul General as long as any of the Debt Securities remain outstanding or, if such person shall not be maintained, Mexico will appoint CT Corporation System or its successor to act as its process agent as provided herein. Mexico will take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments, that may be necessary to continue such appointment or appointments in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent at 00 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, or, if applicable, CT Corporation System or its successor, and written notice of such service mailed or delivered to Mexico at its address set forth in Section 11 hereof shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon Mexico. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such action may be instituted in any competent court in Mexico. Any purported revocation by Mexico of such appointment pursuant to this Section 15 shall be ineffective with regard to this Agreement unless revoked with the prior written consent of the Representatives prior to the execution of this Agreement. Mexico hereby irrevocably waives any immunity from jurisdiction to which it might otherwise be entitled (including sovereign immunity and immunity from pre-judgment attachment, post-judgment attachment and execution) in any such action in the Specified Courts or in any competent court in Mexico, except that under Article 4 of the Federal Code of Civil Procedure of Mexico attachment prior to judgment or attachment in aid of execution will not be enforced by Mexican courts against any of the property of Mexico.

16. Waiver of Jury Trial. Mexico and each of the Underwriters hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

17. Underwriters not Fiduciaries. Mexico acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the purchase and sale of the Debt Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the offering price of the Debt Securities and the underwriting discount, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between Mexico, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, and Mexico is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is, has been, and will be acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor or fiduciary of Mexico, or its affiliates, creditors or employees or any other party; (iii) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of Mexico with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising Mexico on other matters); and (iv) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Mexico, and the Underwriters have no obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory or fiduciary relationship. Mexico hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that Mexico may have against the Underwriters with respect to any breach or alleged breach of fiduciary duty relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one Agreement.
