The Company may, in its sole discretion, contribute to such advertising and marketing expenditures. The Company may also undertake at its own expense any advertising or promotional activity that the Company deems appropriate to conduct in the Territory, but this shall in no way affect the obligations of the Bottler to spend funds for the advertising and marketing of each of the Beverages so as to stimulate and develop the demand for each of the Beverages in the Territory.

8.

The Bottler further agrees to conduct its business in such a manner so as to avoid conflicts with such other parties and, in the event of disputes nevertheless arising with such other parties, to make every reasonable effort to settle them amicably.

The Bottler will not oppose without valid reason any additional measures the adoption of which are considered by the Company as necessary and justified in order to protect and improve the sales and distribution system for the Beverages as, for instance, those which might be adopted concerning the supply of large and/or special buyers whose field of activity transcends the boundaries of the Territory, even if such measures should entail a restriction of the Bottler’s rights or obligations within reasonable limits not affecting the substance of this Agreement.

12. (a) The Bottler, recognizing the important benefit to itself and all the other parties referred to in Clause 11 above of a uniform external appearance of the distribution and other equipment and materials used under this Agreement, agrees to accept and apply the standards adopted and issued from time to time by the Company for the design and decoration of trucks and other delivery vehicles, cases, cartons, coolers, vending machines, and other materials and equipment used in the distribution and sale of the Beverages under this Agreement.

20. (a) The Bottler covenants and agrees with the Company to use, in preparing the Syrups for each of the Beverages, only the Beverage Bases purchased from the Company or Authorized Suppliers and to use the Syrups only for the preparation and packaging of the Beverages in strict adherence to and compliance with the instructions issued to the Bottler from time to time by the Company in writing.

The Company shall use its best efforts to approve two or more manufacturers of such items, it being understood that said approved manufacturers may be located within or outside of the Territory.

(c) The Bottler shall maintain at all times a sufficient stock of Authorized Containers, closures, labels, cases, cartons and other packaging materials to satisfy fully the demand for each of the Beverages in the Territory.

23. (a) The Bottler recognizes that increases in the demand for the Beverages, as well as changes in the list of Authorized Containers, may from time to time require modifications or other changes in respect of its existing manufacturing, packaging, delivery, or vending equipment or require the purchase of additional manufacturing, packaging, delivery, or vending equipment. The Bottler agrees, therefore, to make such modifications to existing equipment and to purchase and install such additional equipment as necessary with sufficient lead time to enable the introduction of new Authorized Containers and the preparation and packaging of the Beverages in accordance with the continuing obligations of the Bottler to develop, stimulate and satisfy fully every demand for each of the Beverages in the Territory.

(b) The Company and the Bottler acknowledge and agree that the maximum prices of the Beverages to the retailers should be accessible and competitive, with the purpose of always maintaining an adequate balance among the ratios “volume,” “market share” and “profits,” so as to ensure the long-term continuance of the business.

(c) The Company reserves the right by giving written notice to the Bottler, to change the Authorized Suppliers and to revise from time to time and at any time in its sole discretion the price of any of the Beverage Bases, the conditions of shipment (including the supply point), and the currency or currencies acceptable to the Company or its Authorized Suppliers.

(d) If the Bottler is unwilling to pay the revised price in respect of the Beverage Base for the Beverage “Coca-Cola,” then the Bottler shall so notify the Company in writing within thirty (30) days from receipt of the written notice from the Company revising the aforesaid price. In this event, this Agreement shall terminate automatically three (3) calendar months after receipt of the Bottler’s notification.

(e) Except as provided in subclause (d) hereof in respect of the Beverage Base for the Beverage “Coca-Cola,” if the Bottler is unwilling to pay the revised price in respect of the Beverage Base(s) for any one or more of the other Beverages, then the Bottler shall so notify the Company its writing within thirty (30) days from receipt of the written notice from the Company revising the aforesaid price or prices. In this event, the Company, in its discretion and having regard to the present and prospective circumstances in the market, shall either (i) notify the Bottler in writing that the Agreement shall terminate, in which event this Agreement shall terminate three (3) calendar months after the date of the Company’s notice of termination to the Bottler, or (ii) notify the Bottler in writing that the Bottler’s authorization in respect of that Beverage or those Beverages for which the Bottler is unwilling to pay the revised price is cancelled, such cancellation to be effective three (3) calendar months after the date of the Company’s notice of such cancellation of authorization(s) to the Bottler. In the event of the cancellation of an authorization of a Beverage or Beverages pursuant to this subclause, the provisions of Clause 30 shall apply in respect of that Beverage or those Beverages, and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall have no further obligation to the Bottler in respect of that Beverage or those Beverages for which authorizations have been cancelled, and the Company shall be entitled to prepare, package, distribute or sell, or to grant authorizations to a third party to prepare, package, distribute or sell, that Beverage or those Beverages in the Territory.

(f) Any failure on the part of the Bottler to notify the Company in respect of the revised price of any one or more of the Beverage Bases pursuant to subclauses (d) and (e) hereof shall be deemed to be acceptance by the Bottler of the revised price.

(g) The Bottler undertakes to collect from or charge to retail outlets for each returnable Authorized Container and each returnable case delivered to the said retail outlets, such deposits as the Company may determine from time to time by giving written notice to the Bottler, and to make all reasonably diligent efforts to recover all empty returnable Authorized Containers and cases and, upon recovery, to refund or to credit the deposits for said returnable Authorized Containers and cases returned undamaged and in good condition.

VIII. GENERAL PROVISIONS

32. It is recognized and acknowledged between the parties hereto that the Company has a vested and legitimate interest in maintaining, promoting and safeguarding the overall performance, efficiency and integrity of the Company’s international bottling, distribution, and sales system. It is further recognized and acknowledged between the parties hereto that this Agreement has been entered into by the Company intuitu personae and in reliance upon the identity, character and integrity of the owners, controlling parties, and managers of the Bottler, and the Bottler warrants having made to the Company prior to the execution hereof a full and complete disclosure of the owners and of any third parties having a right to, or power of, control or management of the Bottler. The Bottler, therefore, covenants and agrees with the Company:

(a) Not to assign, transfer, pledge or in any way encumber this Agreement or any interest herein or rights hereunder, in whole or in part, to any third party or parties, without the prior written consent of the Company;

(b) Not to delegate performance of this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any third party or parties, without the prior written consent of the Company;

(c) To notify the Company promptly in the event of or upon obtaining knowledge of any third party action which may or will result in any change in the ownership or control of the Bottler;

(d) To make available from time to time and at the request of the Company complete records of current ownership of the Bottler and full information concerning any third party or third parties by whom it is controlled directly or indirectly;

(e) To the extent the Bottler has any legal control over changes in the ownership or control of the Bottler, not to initiate or implement, consent to or acquiesce in any such change without the prior written consent of the Company; and

(f) If the Bottler is organized as a partnership, not to change the composition of such partnership by the inclusion of any new partners or the release of existing partners without the prior written consent of the Company.

In addition to the foregoing provisions of this Clause, if a proposed change in ownership or control of the Bottler involves a direct or indirect transfer to or acquisition of ownership or control of the Bottler, in whole or in part, by a person or entity authorized or licensed by the Company to manufacture, sell, distribute or otherwise deal in any beverage products and/or any trademarks of the Company (the “Acquiror Bottler”), the Company may request any and all information it considers relevant from both the Bottler and the Acquiror Bottler in order to make its determination as to whether to consent to such change. In any such circumstances, the parties hereto, recognizing and acknowledging the vested and legitimate interest of the Company in maintaining, promoting and safeguarding the overall performance, efficiency and integrity of the Company’s international bottling, distribution and sales system, expressly agree that the Company may consider all and any factors, and apply any criteria that it considers relevant in making such determination.

It is further recognized and agreed between the parties hereto that the Company, in its sole discretion, may withhold consent to any proposed change in ownership or other transaction contemplated in this Clause 32, or may consent subject to such conditions as the Company, in its sole discretion, may determine. The parties hereto expressly stipulate and agree that any violation by the Bottler of the foregoing covenants contained in this Clause 32 shall entitle the Company to terminate this Agreement forthwith; and, furthermore, in view of the personal nature of this Agreement, that the Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if any other third party or third parties should obtain any direct or indirect interest in the ownership or control of the Bottler, even when the Bottler had no means to prevent such a change, if, in the opinion of the Company, such change either enables such third party or third parties to exercise any influence over the management of the Bottler or materially alters the ability of the Bottler to comply fully with the terms, obligations and conditions of this Agreement.

33. The Bottler shall, prior to the issue, offer, sale, transfer, trade or exchange of any of its shares of stock or other evidence of ownership, its bonds, debentures or other evidence of indebtedness, or the promotion of the sale of the above, or stimulation or solicitation of the purchase or an offer to sell thereof, obtain the written consent of the Company whenever the Bottler uses in this connection the name of the Company or the Trade Marks or any description of the business relationship with the Company in any prospectus, advertisement, or other sales efforts. The Bottler shall not use the name of the Company or the Trade Marks or any description of the business relationship with the Company in any prospectus or advertisement used in connection with the Bottler’s acquisition of any shares or other evidence of ownership in a third party without the Company’s prior written approval.

34. The Company may assign any of it rights and delegate all or any of its duties or obligations under this Agreement to one or more of its subsidiaries or related companies upon written notice to the Bottler; provided, however, that any such delegation shall not relieve the Company from any of its contractual obligations under this Agreement. In addition, the Company in its sole discretion may, through written notice to the Bottler, appoint a third party as it representative to ensure that the Bottler carries out its obligations under this Agreement, with full powers to oversee the Bottler’s performance and to require from the Bottler its compliance with all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Company may change or retract such appointment at any time by written notice sent to the Bottler.

35. Neither the Company nor the Bottler shall be liable for failure to perform any of their obligations hereunder when such failure is caused by or results from:

(a) Strike, blacklisting, boycott or sanctions, however incurred;

(b) Act of God, force majeure, public enemies, authority of law and/or legislative or administrative measures (including the withdrawal of any government authorization required by any of the parties to carry out the terms of this Agreement), embargo, quarantine, riot, insurrection, a declared or undeclared war, state of war or belligerency or hazard or danger incident thereto; or

In the event of the Bottler being unable to perform its obligations as a consequence of any of the contingencies set forth in this Clause, and for the duration of such inability, the Company and Authorized Suppliers shall be relieved of their obligations under Clauses 4 and 5; and provided that, if any such failure by either party shall persist for a period of six (6) months or more, either of the parties hereto may terminate this Agreement.

36. (a) The Company reserves the sole and exclusive right to institute any civil, administrative or criminal proceedings or action, and generally to take or seek any available legal remedy it deems desirable, for the protection of its reputation and industrial property rights as well as for the protection of the Beverage Bases, the Syrups and the Beverages and to defend any action affecting these matters. At the request of the Company, the Bottler will render assistance in any such action. The Bottler shall not have any claim against the Company as a result of such proceedings or action or for any failure to institute or defend such proceedings or action. The Bottler shall promptly notify the Company of any litigation or proceedings instituted or threatened affecting these matters. The Bottler shall not institute any legal or administrative proceedings against any third party which may affect the interests of the Company without the prior written consent of the Company.

(b) The Company has the sole and exclusive right and responsibility to initiate and defend all proceedings and actions relating to the Trade Marks. The Company may initiate or defend any such proceedings or actions in its own name or require the Bottler to institute or defend such proceedings or actions either in its own name or in the joint names of the Bottler and the Company.

(c) The Bottler agrees to consult with the Company on all product liability claims, proceedings or actions brought against the Bottler in connection with the Beverages or Authorized Containers and to take such action with respect to the defense of any such claim or lawsuit as the Company may reasonably request in order to protect the interest of the Company in the Beverages, the Authorized Containers or the goodwill associated with the Trade Marks.

(d) The Bottler shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors and employees from and against all cost, expenses, damages, claims, obligations and liabilities whatsoever arising from fact or circumstances not attributable to the Company including, but not limited to, all cost and expenses incurred in settling or compromising any of the same arising out of the preparation, packaging, distribution, sale or promotion of the Beverages by the Bottler, including, but not limited to, all costs arising out of the act or default, whether negligent or not, of the Bottler, the Bottler’s distributors, suppliers and wholesalers.

(e) The Bottler shall obtain and maintain a policy of insurance with insurance carriers satisfactory to the Company giving full and comprehensive coverage both as to amount and risks covered in respect of matters referred to in subclause (d) above (including the indemnity contained therein) and shall on request produce evidence satisfactory to the Company of the existence of such insurance. Compliance with this Clause 36(e) shall not limit or relieve the Bottler from its obligations under Clause 36(d) hereof.

37. The Bottler covenants and agrees with the Company:

(a) that it will make no representations or disclosures to public or government authorities or to any other third party relating to the Beverage Bases, the Syrups or the Beverages without the prior written consent of the Company;

(b) that it will at all times, both during the continuance and after termination of this Agreement, keep strictly confidential all secret and confidential information including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, mixing instructions and techniques, sales, marketing and distribution information, projects and plans relating to the subject matter of this Agreement which the Bottler may receive from the Company or in any other manner and to ensure that such information shall be made known on a need-to-know basis only to those officers, directors and employees bound by reasonable provisions incorporating the nondisclosure and secrecy obligations set out in this Clause 37;

(c) that upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement the Bottler will make necessary arrangements to deliver to the Company in accordance with instructions as may be given by the Company, all written, graphic, electromagnetic, computerized, digital, or other materials comprising or containing any information subject to the obligation of confidence hereunder.

38. In the event of any provisions of this Agreement being or becoming legally ineffective or invalid, the validity or effect of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected; provided that the invalidity or ineffectiveness of the said provisions shall not prevent or unduly hamper performance hereunder or prejudice the ownership or validity of the Trade Marks. The right to terminate in accordance with Clause 28(a)(2) is not affected hereby.

39. (a) In regards to all matters herein, this Contact constitutes the only agreement between the Company and the Bottler. All prior agreement of any kind whatsoever between these parties relating to the subject matter hereof being cancelled hereby save to the extent that the same may comprise agreements and other documents within the provisions of Clause 19 hereof; provided, however, that any written representations made by the Bottler upon which the Company relied in entering into this Agreement shall remain binding upon the Bottler.

Any change of address by either of the parties hereto shall be promptly notified in writing to the other party.

40. Failure of the Company to exercise promptly any right herein granted, or to require strict performance of any obligation undertaken herein by the Bottler, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such right or of the right to demand subsequent performance of any and all obligations herein undertaken by the Bottler.

41. The Bottler is an independent contractor and not the agent of the Company. The Bottler agrees that it will not represent that it is an agent of the Company nor hold itself out as such.

Re: Bottler’s Agreement

Dear Sirs:

We refer to the Bottler’s Agreement of Coca-Cola and other products of The Coca-Cola Company, (hereinafter referred to as the COMPANY), executed on this same date between the COMPANY and Panamco Bajio, S.A. de C.V. (hereinafter referred to as the BOTTLER), effective as of June 1, 2005, (from here onwards designated as the AGREEMENT), for a Territory in the United Mexican States, described in the AGREEMENT, (from here onwards described as the TERRITORY).

As you well know, the basis of our long and valuable business relationship has always been and shall continue to be under the shelter of the Bottler’s Agreement, mutual trust, good faith and the highest ethical standards of business.

The objective of this letter is to clarify the scope of certain clauses of the referenced agreement:

1. Clause 1 of the AGREEMENT shall be applied with the understanding that each time the

COMPANY decides to introduce a new product and/or container in the TERRITORY, understanding such products to be refreshing carbonated beverages without juice content, the COMPANY shall inform the BOTTLER in writing of its intention, its program and the conditions for the introduction of said new product and/or container in the TERRITORY. The BOTTLER shall have preferential right to launch said product and/or container in the TERRITORY. The BOTTLER shall exercise that preferential right within the sixty (60) days following the date of receipt of the written communication from the COMPANY, by means of a written response informing the COMPANY of its interest in launching the new product and/or container in the TERRITORY, demonstrating to the COMPANY its technical and financial capacity to carry out said launches, and understanding that it must comply with the COMPANY with the programs for said launches.

2. Clause 9 of the AGREEMENT establishes that a request by the COMPANY to obtain financial and accounting information should be for the sole purpose of verifying compliance with the AGREEMENT. The COMPANY agrees that such a written request shall come from the General Director of the COMPANY’S subsidiary in Mexico.

3. Clause 11 (first paragraph) of the AGREEMENT establishes that the COMPANY has executed or may execute other agreements similar to this AGREEMENT with other parties, outside of the TERRITORY and that the BOTTLER accepts the limitations that such other agreements may reasonably impose on the BOTTLER in the management of its business in accordance with the AGREEMENT. The COMPANY accepts that said limitations shall be exclusively related to the territorial restrictions and limits established in the AGREEMENT.

4. With respect to the adoption of additional measures considered by the COMPANY to be necessary and justified for the purposes of protecting and improving sales and distribution of the Beverages to large and/or special buyers whose range of activities transcend the limits of the TERRITORY of the BOTTLER, (from here onwards KEY ACCOUNTS), in accordance with that established in Clause 11 (second paragraph) of the AGREEMENT, the COMPANY shall only adopt such measures, including the direct supply of Beverages to the KEY ACCOUNTS, if the BOTTLER has failed to adequately supply such KEY ACCOUNTS within the TERRITORY (service frequency, prices, sales conditions, etc.). The COMPANY, before directly attending to a KEY ACCOUNT, must notify the BOTTLER in writing of its decision to carry out said measure, unless the BOTTLER corrects the situation within the 15 (fifteen) days following such notification.

5. In accordance with Clause 12 a) of the AGREEMENT, the BOTTLER agrees to accept and apply the norms adopted and issued from time to time by the COMPANY for the uniform external appearance of the distribution equipment and other equipment and material used by the BOTTLER and by other Coca-Cola Bottlers. It is agreed that the periodic instructions issued by the COMPANY relative to the norms of uniform external appearance shall apply to all the Bottlers in Mexico.

6. Clause 13 part b) of the AGREEMENT shall be applied in accordance with the following stipulations:

i) The COMPANY and the BOTTLER, for the purpose of simplifying the calculation of lost profits by the INJURED BOTTLER as well as the expenses and costs incurred by the COMPANY in the investigation and determination of said lost profits, agree in advance to quantify them in Mexican pesos, equivalent to five (5) U.S. dollars per case found.

A case shall be understood as the number of units in the greater secondary packaging for each product found in the market. It is also understood that the five (5) U.S. dollars charged per case shall be adjusted each year during the life of the AGREEMENT in accordance with the General Product Price Index of the United States of America.

ii) The compensation sum that the COMPANY may charge the TRANSGRESSING BOTTLER shall be given to the INJURED BOTTLER, after deducting 30% to cover costs and expenses incurred during the investigation and determination of the aforementioned lost profits.

iii) If any Beverage distributed by the BOTTLER is found outside the TERRITORY, it shall be considered that the BOTTLER made the sale and distribution of said Beverage outside of the TERRITORY and shall be considered a TRANSGRESSING BOTTLER for these purposes, with the understanding, notwithstanding, that if the INJURED BOTTLER has not adhered strictly to the same standards of responsibility established in Clause 13 b), initial paragraph, with respect to the [invasion] of products, the BOTTLER shall only be deemed as having [sold and distributed] such Beverage if the BOTTLER knew or should have known that the buyer would redistribute the Beverage outside the TERRITORY prior to the last sale.

iv) In the event that the BOTTLER becomes an INJURED BOTTLER, the COMPANY shall apply to its benefit the stipulations of Clause 13 b) 2).

7. The agreements established in Clause 17 of the AGREEMENT shall apply not only to the operations in which the BOTTLER is concerned, but also to those operations in which the BOTTLER may be indirectly related through property, control, administration, business organization, contract, agreements or by any other means and whether such operations took place inside or outside the TERRITORY of the BOTTLER. The COMPANY agrees that the term “or by any other means” indicated in such context, shall refer to situations of similar or equivalent effect.

8. With respect to Clause 17 e) of the AGREEMENT, it is agreed that:

In cases of: (i) termination of the AGREEMENT by the COMPANY as a result of non-compliance of the same by the BOTTLER (JUSTIFIED TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY), (ii) a preliminary decision by the BOTTLER in accordance with Clause 27 of the AGREEMENT, not to renew the duration of the AGREEMENT beyond the next scheduled termination date, given with 18 months prior notice (TERMINATION DECISION BY THE BOTTLER), or (iii) a preliminary decision by the COMPANY, in accordance with Clause 27 of the AGREEMENT not to renew the duration of the same beyond the next scheduled termination date, given with 18 months prior notice (TERMINATION DECISION BY THE COMPANY), the COMPANY shall then have the Preferential Right and the Right of Negotiation on the terms established herein.

For (i) a period beginning as of the TERMINATION DECISION BY THE COMPANY and ending with the revocation of said decision during the term of the AGREEMENT, or upon the expiration of this AGREEMENT, as a consequence of said decision, whichever occurs first, (ii) a period of twenty four (24) months as of any JUSTIFIED TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY, and/or (iii) a period beginning as of the TERMINATION DECISION BY THE BOTTLER and ending as of the revocation of said decision during the term of this AGREEMENT or 24 (twenty four) months as of the expiration of the AGREEMENT as a result of said decision (the period referred to in letters (i), (ii), (iii), as the case may be, shall be known as the TERM), the COMPANY shall have the right of first negotiation for the purchase of any and all the assets and securities of the BOTTLER, that the BOTTLER or any other holder of securities of the BOTTLER that has agreed to obligate itself to this AGREEMENT (each holder, a SHAREHOLDER OF THE BOTTLER) wishes to sell, cede, transfer, give, give in guarantee, [mortgage], or in any manner dispose, directly or indirectly, including without any limitations, any disposition through any dividend, distribution, consolidation, merger, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, close of business or any similar event (each of which terms shall be known as a TRANSMISSION).

The term TRANSMISSION, in the manner herein used, shall not include any disposition by the BOTTLER to an AFFILIATE OF THE BOTTLER, (as defined later on), as long as prior to the disposition the AFFILIATE OF THE BOTTLER executes a legally binding contract, approved by the COMPANY as to form and content (which such approval may not be unreasonably denied), wherein the preference and first negotiation rights of the COMPANY with respect to the transmission of the assets or securities to the AFFILIATE OF THE BOTTLER be duly complied with. Every AFFILIATE OF THE BOTTLER that is a party to said AGREEMENT shall be called THE AFFILIATE OF THE OBLIGED BOTTLER. As used herein, an AFFILIATE OF THE BOTTLER means any person or entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with the BOTTLER. The BOTTLER, every SHAREHOLDER OF THE BOTTLER and every AFFILIATE OF THE OBLIGED BOTTLER, agree that during the TERM they shall not solicit or discuss with any third party any proposed TRANSMISSION, unless they first send written notification of intent to the COMPANY, describing the type and quantity of assets or securities of the BOTTLER proposed to be transferred. Said notification shall be known as THE NOTIFICATION, and the date that it is received by the COMPANY, shall be known as THE NOTIFICATION DATE. If the COMPANY and the BOTTLER, THE SHAREHOLDER OF THE BOTTLER or THE AFFILIATE OF THE OBLIGED BOTTLER, as may be the case, have not agreed on the price and conditions of the sale of such assets or securities to the COMPANY within the ninety (90) days following the NOTIFICATION DATE, the BOTTLER, the SHAREHOLDER OF THE BOTTLER or the AFFILIATE OF THE OBLIGED BOTTLER, as may be the case, shall be free to solicit offers from third parties for such assets and securities, subject to the rights of the COMPANY described in the following paragraph.

If at any time during the TERM, the BOTTLER, the SHAREHOLDER OF THE BOTTLER or the AFFILIATE OF THE OBLIGED BOTTLER, as the case may be, receives a GOOD FAITH OFFER (as defined later on) for TRANSFER of assets or securities of the BOTTLER (be they solicited or not), which the receiving party wishes to accept (and which if solicited, of which NOTIFICATION shall have been given and the ninety (90) day period mentioned in the preceding paragraph has expired) the receiving party shall give written notification to the COMPANY of (a) the assets or securities subject to such TRANSFER, (b) the name and address of the proposed acquirer, (c) the price and terms of the proposed TRANSFER. Such NOTIFICATION shall be referred to as the SECOND NOTIFICATION and the date on which the COMPANY receives a SECOND NOTIFICATION shall be referred to as the SECOND NOTIFICATION DATE. In each of these cases, the COMPANY shall have ninety (90) days as of the SECOND NOTIFICATION DATE to notify the acquirer that it is its intention to purchase the assets or securities for the price and under the conditions contained in the SECOND NOTIFICATION. If the COMPANY does not comply with giving said NOTIFICATION within the ninety (90) days counted as of the SECOND NOTIFICATION DATE, the transferor may sell the assets or securities to the proposed acquirer at a price and on terms no less favorable and not materially different from those specified in the SECOND NOTIFICATION, as long as the sale to such third party shall have been consummated within one hundred eighty (180) days following the SECOND NOTIFICATION DATE, and evidence shall be sent to the COMPANY of the transaction in the manner that may be reasonably requested.

A GOOD FAITH OFFER shall mean a written offer that the BOTTLER, the SHAREHOLDER OF THE BOTTLER or the AFFILIATE OF THE OBLIGED SHAREHOLDER, as the case may be, wishes to accept, making clear the good faith intention of the proposed acquirer, sending said written offer to purchase all or part of the assets or securities of the BOTTLER possessed by the transmitter and establishing in detail the purchase price to be paid and the other material terms and conditions of such offer. Any GOOD FAITH OFFER shall include a mention of the source of the funds to be used in the transaction by the proposed acquirer, including a copy of any and all letters of intent and letters of available commitment to the proposed transmitter in relation to the financing of the transaction.

Upon signing a copy of this contractual letter, each SHAREHOLDER OF THE BOTTLER by this means agrees to obligate itself under all the provisions of the three paragraphs immediately preceding this one.

The COMPANY renounces the requirements and restrictions imposed by Clause 17(e) of the AGREEMENT with respect to the BOTTLER in the event that the AGREEMENT terminates as a result of a TERMINATION DECISION BY THE COMPANY. A termination of the AGREEMENT resulting from a TERMINATION DECISION BY THE BOTTLER or a JUSTIFIED TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY shall not give the BOTTLER the right to renounce rights with respect to Clause 17(e) of the AGREEMENT.

9. With respect to Clause 26 b), the same contains guiding principles shared by the COMPANY and the BOTTLER, but it is understood that specific decisions as to price are the prerogative of the BOTTLER.

10. In accordance with Clause 32 b) of the AGREEMENT, the BOTTLER obligates itself not to delegate compliance with the AGREEMENT, in whole or in part, to any third party or parties, without the written consent of the COMPANY. The COMPANY agrees that in the event of a proposal to delegate to a subsidiary wholly-controlled by the BOTTLER, the COMPANY shall not unreasonably withhold its consent. Through this document the COMPANY agrees and accepts that the BOTTLER shall comply with its obligations as established by the AGREEMENT through the following subsidiary wholly-controlled by the BOTTLER:

PROPIMEX, S.A. DE C.V.

11. The written consent of the COMPANY required in accordance with Clause 33 of the AGREEMENT for the public use by the BOTTLER in the name of the COMPANY, its brands or the business relations between the BOTTLER and the COMPANY, shall not be unreasonably retained by the COMPANY. The BOTTLER shall make the appropriate request in accordance with Clause 39 c) of the AGREEMENT, addressed to the attention of the General Counsel of the COMPANY, at X.X. Xxxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, 00000, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx of America. The COMPANY shall respond to this request within the 15 (fifteen) days following the date of its receipt. If the COMPANY does not respond to the request from the BOTTLER within said period, the request shall be deemed as approved.

12. In accordance with Clause 34 of the AGREEMENT, the COMPANY may only designate one or more of its subsidiaries, if it so has, or in its absence, one or more of its affiliates, as its representative to assure compliance by the BOTTLER of all the terms and conditions of the AGREEMENT.

13. With respect to Clause 36 b) of the AGREEMENT, the COMPANY agrees to reimburse the BOTTLER for all documented costs related to the processes and actions that may be required of the BOTTLER by the COMPANY for the protection of the brands of COMPANY products included under this AGREEMENT.

14. It is understood that the insurance policy required from the BOTTLER in Clause 36 e) of the AGREEMENT, shall be adequate for Mexican conditions and the prevailing local norms for this particular type of insurance coverage.

15. In conformity with ANNEX A of the AGREEMENT, the COMPANY grants the BOTTLER a non-exclusive authorization for the preparation, distribution and sale of the beverages there indicated, in their Post-Mix mode. In agreement with the aforementioned, the COMPANY may decide to grant similar non-exclusive authorizations for Post-Mix rights to third parties in the TERRITORY, or the COMPANY may decide to directly exercise the Post-Mix rights in the TERRITORY. In the event that the COMPANY decides to grant similar non-exclusive authorizations through any third party or directly, the COMPANY agrees to informally discuss the matter with the BOTTLER. Nonetheless, it is understood that this discussion will not in any way limit the rights of the COMPANY indicated in ANNEX A of the AGREEMENT.

16. The COMPANY and the BOTTLER agree that all the remaining Clauses, terms and conditions of the AGREEMENT remain without any modifications and in full force and effect.

Sincerely,

The Coca-Cola Company
