Grupo Financiero Inbursa,

As Leader Arranging Agent and

Administrative Agent of the Loan Agreement

Dear Sirs:

In rendering this opinion, I have reviewed originals or copies of the following documents:

The referred to documents in letters (a) and (b) above, in the following will be jointly referred to as the ‘‘Financial Documents’’.

To render this opinion, I have assumed, without carrying out an independent investigation or any verification, (i) the accuracy of all signatures (except for the signatures of the Borrower’s attorney-in-fact), (ii) the authenticity of all documents that were delivered to us as originals, as well as the fidelity of the original documents with the documents that we delivered to us as certifications or

Based on the foregoing, I am of the following opinion:

1. The Borrower is a corporation duly organized as a sociedad anónima bursátil de capital variable in accordance with the laws of the United Mexican States (‘‘Mexico’’), and it is fully empowered according to its company purpose to execute and subscribe the Financial Documents, and to assume the obligations that are established in them.

2. The execution and subscription on the Borrower’s part of the Financial Documents and the compliance of every one of its obligations under them, has been duly authorized in accordance with the applicable legislation and its articles of association, and do not infringe (i) its valid articles of association to this date, (ii) any law or administrative or contractual provision, of any nature, that binds or affects it.

3. Any two of the sirs Xxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, acting in a joint manner, have sufficient powers to bind the Borrower in accordance with the Financial Documents.

4. The Borrower does not require consent, authorization or registration of or before Governmental Authority or any third party for the execution and subscription of the Financial Documents or for the subscription of the Notes, for the validity and enforceability of the same or the compliance of its obligations in accordance with them.

5. The Loan Agreement constitutes, and the Notes, once they have been subscribed in the terms on the Loan Agreement by any two of the individuals referred to in letter 3 above, acting jointly, as attorneys-in-fact of the Borrower, will constitute, legal and valid obligations of the Borrower, respectively, enforceable against him in accordance with its respective terms.

6.

GRUMA Corporation

Cox v. Gruma Corporation

Approximately on December 21, 2013, a consumer presented a supposed collective suit against Gruma Corporation, alleging that Mission corn chips should not be labeled as “All Natural” if they contain certain non-natural ingredients. The plaintiff claims compensatory damages and loss profit, including the payment of legal fees. Gruma Corporation thinks that the claims have no fundamental basis and presented a request to dismiss the Lawsuit. In response to the request to dismiss the Lawsuit, the plaintiff presented a First Modified Lawsuit, Gruma Corpotation presented a request to dismiss said First Modified Lawsuit on April 10, 2013, and a hearing will take place on June 11, 2013 to solve Gruma’s request. We pretend to vigorously defend ourselves from this suit. Gruma thinks that the outcome of this proceeding will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
