5.2. Resolution of Differences.

(a) Within 30 days following delivery of a Notice of Continuing Impasse, the CIB Shareholders or the Inmex Shareholders (for purposes of this Section 5.2, the “Offering Shareholders”) may advise the Inmex Shareholders or the CIB Shareholders, respectively (for purposes of this Section 5.2, the “Offeree Shareholders”), in writing either (i) that the Offering Shareholders offer to sell all of their Restricted Shares to the Offeree Shareholders, or (ii) that the Offering Shareholders offer to purchase (or cause a nominee or nominees designated by them to purchase) all of the Offeree Shareholders’ Restricted Shares, specifying the aggregate price at which the Offering Shareholders are willing to sell or buy, as the case may be (the “Initial Offer”). Upon receipt of an Initial Offer, the Offeree Shareholders must respond in writing within 30 days indicating their acceptance of the Initial Offer or making a counteroffer to either (1) sell all of their Restricted Shares to the Offering Shareholders, or (2) purchase (or cause a nominee or nominees designated by them to purchase) all of the Offering Shareholders’ Restricted Shares, specifying the aggregate price at which the Offeree Shareholders are willing to sell or buy, as the case may be (for purposes of this Section 5.2, the “Response”).

however, that if, in the case of clause (i) above, they have not reached final agreement on price or, in the case of clause (ii) above, they have not reached such a mutual determination, within 45 days after delivery of the Response, then either the Offering Shareholders or the Offeree Shareholders may deliver a final offer (the “Final Offer”) stating the price per Restricted Share at which such Shareholders (for purposes of this Section 5.2, the “Final Offering Shareholders”) are willing at the election of the recipient of the Final Offer (for purposes of this Section 5.2, the “Final Offeree Shareholders”) either to (1) sell all of their Restricted Shares to the Final Offeree Shareholders, or (2) purchase (or cause a nominee or nominees designated by them to purchase) from the Final Offeree Shareholder all of their Restricted Shares. The Final Offer shall be irrevocable for a period of 30 days following delivery and shall preempt the right of the Final Offeree Shareholders to make a Final Offer.

(c) Within 30 days following delivery of the Final Offer, the Final Offeree Shareholders shall, by notice to the Final Offering Shareholders, elect either to purchase (or to cause a nominee or nominees designated by them to purchase) all of the Final Offering Shareholders’ Restricted Shares or to sell all of the Final Offeree Shareholders’ Restricted Shares to the Final Offering Shareholders, in either case at the price per Restricted Share set forth in the Final Offer. In the event that the Final Offeree Shareholders fail to make such an election within such 30-day period, the Final Offering Shareholder may then elect whether to buy all of the Final Offeree Shareholders Restricted Shares or sell all of the Final Offering Shareholders’ Restricted Shares to the Final Offeree Shareholder at the price per Restricted Share set forth in the Final Offer.

(d) If the Initial Offer and the Response indicate that both the Offering Shareholders and the Offeree Shareholders wish to buy all of the others’ Restricted Shares, the CIB Shareholders and the Inmex Shareholders shall begin a bidding process therefor.

Such initial bid and each subsequent bid must be met in turn, within 30 days following delivery thereof, by either acceptance or delivery of a counteroffer, which must be at least 5% higher than the preceding bid (on a per Restricted Share basis). This bidding process shall continue until acceptance, or failure to respond, within 30 days following receipt of any bid. Any such failure to respond shall be deemed to constitute acceptance.

(a) In the event (i) an option of Non-COC Shareholders to purchase Restricted Shares arises under Section 4.2(b) and the closing with respect to such option would cause, (ii) any proposed Transfer of Restricted Shares pursuant to Article 15 of the Estatutos would cause or (iii) any exercise of a purchase option pursuant to such Article would cause, the Restricted Shares held by the Inmex Shareholders (or the CIB Shareholders, as the case may be) to constitute less than 25% of all issued, subscribed and paid Ordinary Shares, then upon the request of any of the CIB Shareholders (or any of the Inmex Shareholders, as the case may be), promptly but in any case not later than the date of such closing pursuant to Section 4.2(b) or the closing of such Transfer or purchase option exercise, as the case may be, each of the Shareholders shall take all action necessary to eliminate, effective not later than immediately prior to any such closing, all special majority quorum and voting requirements (other than those herein or in the Estatutos relating to restrictions on Transferring the Restricted Shares) from this Agreement, the Estatutos and the Subsidiary Estatutos of each of the Subsidiaries.

connection with such acceptance or deemed acceptance, as the case may be, would cause the Restricted Shares held by the Inmex Shareholders (or the CIB Shareholders, as the case may be) to constitute less than 20% of all issued, subscribed and paid Ordinary Shares, then upon the request of any of the CIB Shareholders (or any of the Inmex Shareholders, as the case may be), promptly but in any case not later than the date of such closing, (1) each of the Shareholders shall take all action necessary to eliminate, effective not later than immediately prior to such closing, all special majority quorum and voting requirements and all restrictions on Transferring the Restricted Shares from this Agreement, the Estatutos and the Subsidiary Estatutos of each Subsidiary, and (2) the CIB Shareholders shall cause the Chairman of the Board of Directors, and the Inmex Shareholders shall cause the Series D Representative, to transmit to the Transfer Agent a notice substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I.

(b) If any of the Guarantee Beneficiaries grants a deferral, a stay or a release with regard to any of the covenants, agreements or obligations that are the subject of the respective Guarantee as to which it is a beneficiary without the consent of the guarantor thereof, even if such release subjects the principal obligation to new encumbrances or conditions with regard to such Guarantee Beneficiary, no such covenant, agreement or obligation shall be discharged, and such guarantor expressly waives its respective rights and benefits in terms of Articles 2846, 2847, 2848 and 2849 of the Civil Code for the Federal District of Mexico.

(c) Insofar as the respective Guarantees may require payment of any sums of money to the Guarantee Beneficiaries, the respective Guarantees are guarantees of payment and not of collection and shall remain in full force and effect until the respective Guarantee Beneficiaries have received payment in full of all monies payable with respect to the guaranteed obligations.

(j) The FMV Offeree Shareholders, each of whom shall be bound by the decision of FMV Offeree Shareholders holding a majority or the Series “A” or Series “D” shares, as the case may be, shall have an option to purchase all (but not less than all) of the FMV Shares at a price equal to their Fair Market Value within 90 days following the determination thereof, provided that, in the event such option is exercised, any FMV Offeree Shareholder so required to purchase shares may designate any other person or persons on its behalf to acquire such FMV Shares. In the event such option is exercised, (i) if the FMV Shares are Series “A” shares, each FMV Offeree Shareholder shall be required to acquire such FMV Shares in the proportion its Series “D” shares bear to all issued, subscribed and paid Series “D” shares, (ii) if the FMV Shares are Series “D” shares, each Offeree Shareholder shall be required to acquire such FMV Shares in the proportion its Series “A” shares bear to all issued, subscribed and paid Series “A” shares and (iii) the proposed transferor and each of the FMV Offeree Shareholders (or any designee of such FMV Offeree Shareholder) shall consummate the transactions implied by the exercise of such option within 10 business days after the date on which such option is exercised.

(k) In case the FMV Offeree Shareholders do not exercise the aforementioned purchase option, the proposed transferor will have 90 days beginning on the earlier of (i) the date on which the 90 day option period referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph ends and (ii) the date on which the proposed transferor receives written notice from the FMV Offerse Shareholders of their desire not to exercise their option, to consummate the proposed Transfer, in its entirety, on the terms specified in the notice referred to in paragraph (h) of this Article 15.

(l) As used in this Article 15, the “Fair Market Value” of the Company’s shares shall mean an amount equal to the “Company Value”, as defined below, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of the Company’s shares that are being valued, and the denominator of which is the total number of issued, subscribed and paid shares as of the valuation date. As used in this Article 15, the term “Company Value” shall mean the amount in New Pesos that, as of the date of such valuation, would be received for all issued, subscribed and paid shares of the Company’s Capital Stock in an arm’s-length transaction between a willing buyer and seller, determined as follows:

1. The two parties determining Fair Market Value will each make an independent determination of the Company Value (each an “Original Valuation Determination”) and will submit it to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the designated representative of the Series D Directors and the Transfer Agent. If the two valuations differ by an amount which is less than 10% of the smaller valuation, the Company Value will be the average of such Original Valuation Determinations.

2. If the difference between the two valuations is an amount which is greater than 10% of the smaller valuation, the parties will each select a financial institution from a list of internationally recognized institutions approved by a majority of the Series A Directors and a

majority of the Series D Directors. These two institutions will make their respective determinations of the Company Value (the “Second Valuations”) and submit them to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the designated representative of the Series D Directors and the Transfer Agent. If the Second Valuations differ by an amount which is less than 10% of the smaller valuation, the Company Value will be the average of such Second Valuations.

3. If the Second Valuations differ by an amount which is greater than 10% of the smaller valuation, the two aforementioned institutions will select a third institution from the same list from which they were chosen, which institution shall then make its own determination of the Company Value (the “Third Valuation”). The two Second Valuations and the Third Valuation will be averaged together, and the original Valuation Determination that is nearest to this average will be deemed to be the Company Value.

ARTICLE 16: The Company may be reorganized into one of several corporations pursuant to a resolution adopted at an Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting.

ARTICLE 17: The Company will have a shares registry and will consider as shareholders only those persons who appear registered in such registry. Upon the appointment of the Trustee Division of Banca Serfin, S.A. (or any other trust institution that the Board of Directors may select) as transfer agent of the Company (the “Transfer Agent’”), the Company will register its shares of Capital Stock of any Series with the Transfer Agent; with respect to such shares, the Company will consider as owner only those shareholders who appear in the registry of such trust institution and, before making changes in such registry with respect to Series “A” or “D” shares, such trust institution must verify full compliance with the provisions set forth in Article 15 hereof.

ARTICLE 18: (a) The Company’s controlling shareholders are required, in the event of cancellation of the registration of any shares of the Company in the Securities Section of the National Register of Securities and Financial Instruments, either at the request of the Company or by a resolution of the National Security Commission of Mexico in accordance with law, to make a public offer to acquire said shares prior to such cancellation at the highest price resulting from the average of the closing prices of such shares over the thirty day period immediately preceding the offering date, or at the book value of the shares according to the most recent quarterly report presented to the Commission and the Mexican Stock Exchange prior to the offering.

(b) Such shareholders shall not be obliged to carry out the aforementioned public acquisition offer in the event that all of the shareholders approve the cancellation of the registration.

EXHIBIT H

The parties agree that it is desirable for Coca-Cola FEMSA, S.A. de C.V. (“Coca-Cola FEMSA”) to expand its scope of operations in Latin America. Therefore, it is the intention of The Coca-Cola Company (“KO”) that Coca-Cola FEMSA will be a primary vehicle as territories become available in Mexico and other parts of Latin America to facilitate the consolidation of such territories. In other words, Coca-Cola FEMSA will be viewed as one of a small number of “anchor” bottlers for KO in Latin America. Therefore, if and when current owners of Coca-Cola bottling operations in Mexico and in other parts of Latin America choose to sell their bottling operations, KO will fully consider Coca-Cola FEMSA as a potential owner of such operations. In considering Coca-Cola FEMSA as a potential owner, KO must also consider the overall best interests of its bottling system including the acquisition interests of other anchor bottlers. In any event, Coca-Cola FEMSA must successfully negotiate the terms and conditions of any transaction on an economically sound basis with the owners of the available operations in question.

In the event that owners of operations, which Coca-Cola FEMSA and KO agree fit with Coca-Cola FEMSA’s operations on a logistical and marketing basis, decide to sell and KO purchases such operations, KO will provide Coca-Cola FEMSA with an option to purchase these operations from KO. The option will allow Coca-Cola FEMSA to purchase these operations at prices equal to the prices KO paid plus KO’s related expenses and carrying costs and on the same terms and conditions as obtained by KO, all as more specifically described on attached Schedule A.

For other operations in Latin America where KO or one or more of its majority owned subsidiaries directly controls the ownership of the bottling operations therein (apart from its rights under the bottler’s agreements) and KO determines that Coca-Cola FEMSA is the most desirable owner of such operations and KO also decides to sell any such operations, KO and Coca-Cola FEMSA will negotiate in good faith the sale of any such operations to Coca-Cola FEMSA at fair market value. It is understood that this is not a commitment by KO to sell any such operations.

In connection with any proposed acquisition of a Coca-Cola bottling operation, Coca-Cola FEMSA at all times (before and after the acquisition) must meet the usual franchise requirements of KO (including aggressive development of the soft drink market in Coca-Cola FEMSA’s existing operations and maintenance of a financially sound operation), and KO must be satisfied of this prior to the acquisition.

KO will support prudent and sound modifications to Coca-Cola FEMSA’s capital structure to support horizontal growth.

The provisions of this Exhibit will be void and of no further effect upon the earlier of: (i) the elimination of the special majority voting requirements in accordance with Section 7.1(a) of the Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement to which this Exhibit is attached, or (ii) the election of KO to terminate the provisions of this Exhibit, which KO shall have the right to do at any time following any Specified Default by any CIB Shareholder (as such terms are defined in such Shareholders Agreement).

SCHEDULE A

In the event KO obtains ownership of a bottling operation that the parties agree fits with Coca-Cola FEMSA’s operations on a logistical and marketing basis, KO will provide Coca-Cola FEMSA with an option (the “First Option”), exercisable for a period of ninety (90) days following the date of notice to Coca-Cola FEMSA of KO obtaining such ownership, to acquire the bottling operation from KO, within ninety (90) days after the expiration date of the First Option, on the same terms and conditions (other than the amount of the purchase price) on which KO acquired the bottling operation. The First Option purchase price shall be an all cash price equal to the sum of (i) the purchase price paid by KO for the bottling operation, plus (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by KO in connection with the purchase, ownership, operation and sale of the bottling operation, plus (iii) carrying charges equal to KO’s standard intercompany advance rate per annum, calculated as set forth in accordance with the formula set forth on Appendix I attached to this Schedule, multiplied by the sum of (i), (ii) and any amounts accrued as a result of prior application of this clause (for all prior monthly periods from the date on which KO acquired ownership of the bottling operation) for the period from and after the date on which KO obtained ownership of the bottling operation to the date on which Coca-Cola FEMSA acquires the bottling operation pursuant to the exercise of the First Option computed on the basis of a 360-day year and compounded monthly, less (iv) any dividends received by KO during such period in respect of the bottling operation. If the First Option expires unexercised, KO will be free for a period of one year thereafter to sell the bottling operation to whomever it may wish, provided that the sale price and other terms and conditions of the sale are no less favorable to KO than those provided for in the First Option. If after the expiration of this one year period KO wishes to transfer ownership of the bottling operation, KO will provide Coca-Cola FEMSA with a ninety (90) day option (the “Second Option”) to acquire the bottling operation from KO within ninety (90) days after the expiration date of the Second Option for an all cash price equal to the then fair market value of the bottling operation as determined in good faith by KO (the “KO Price”). In the event the Second Option expires unexercised, the applicable bottling operation thereafter will be freely transferable by KO, except that if KO proposes to transfer ownership of the bottling operation at a price lower than the KO Price, KO will provide Coca-Cola FEMSA with a ninety (90) day option (the “Third Option”) to acquire the bottling operation from KO within ninety (90) days after the expiration date of the Third Option on the same terms and conditions as the proposed transfer.

APPENDIX I

Calculation of KO’S Standard Intercompany Advance Rate

The KO standard intercompany advance rate charged/credited on advance account balances is based on KO’s “market” cost (which does not include any administrative overhead charge, but includes estimated bank back-up line charges and dealer commissions) of 30-day commercial paper. For example, on the first of the month, if the actual rate on one-month commercial paper (rate is estimated if no commercial paper issuance on reset date) is 4.10%, the effective rate for 30 days would be 4.32%. The intercompany advance rate, which is rounded to .25% increments, would then be set at either 4.25% or 4.50% based on: current market conditions, KO Treasury’s forecast of rate trends for the remainder of the month, and unanticipated rate changes occurring in the previous month. In determining the monthly rate to be used, KO does not attempt to precisely reflect actual rate movements; the preference is to minimize rate fluctuations. After considering all of the above factors, the rate is set effective the first of each month, to remain in effect for the entire month, as of the first working day of each month.
