to be payable to the Holder of the Note as of the close of business on the related record date and
may either be paid (1) to the person in whose name the certificated note is registered at the close

deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the custodian
for the Depositary, and registered in the name of a nominee of the Depositary, duly
executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as provided in the Original

Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the
Depositary or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian
therefore, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of
this Indenture.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture or the Securities, no Global Security
may be exchanged, in whole or in part for certificated Notes, and no transfer of a Global Security

clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, or (C) there shall have occurred and be
continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security or (D) the Company in its sole
discretion determines that the Global Securities (in whole not in part) should be exchanged for
certificated Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee; provided, however,
that interests in the Regulation S Security will not be exchangeable for certificated Notes until
expiration of the Restricted Period and receipt of certification of non-U.S. beneficial ownership.
Any Global Security exchanged pursuant to Clause (A) or (B) above shall be so exchanged in whole
and not in part and any Global Security exchanged pursuant to Clause (C) above may be exchanged in

listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for trading on the Euro MTF, the Company will maintain a
paying agent and a transfer agent in Luxembourg. The Company will also publish a notice in
Luxembourg in a leading newspaper having general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be
d’Wort). The Company will also publish a notice in Luxembourg in a leading newspaper having
general circulation in Luxembourg if any change is made in the Paying Agent or the Transfer Agent
in Luxembourg.
Upon any exchange, the certificated Notes shall be issued in definitive, fully-registered
form, without interest coupons, shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of such
Global Security or portion thereof to be so exchanged and shall be registered in such names and be
in such denominations as the Depositary shall designate. Unless otherwise agreed by the Company
and the Trustee, such Notes shall bear any legends required hereunder until, with respect to the
Notes in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1, (a) the first anniversary of the last date of
original issuance of the Notes (or such shorter period of time permitted by Rule 144(d) of the
Securities Act) and (b) such later date, if any, as may be required by applicable law. Any Global
Security to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, as
Security Registrar. With regard to any Global Security to be exchanged in part, either such Global
Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee is acting as custodian for the
Depositary or its nominee with respect to such Global Security, the principal thereof shall be
reduced, by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of any appropriate
adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver the Security issuable on such exchange to or upon the order of the
Depositary or an authorized representative thereof.
The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and the
“Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “Management Regulations”
and “Instructions to Participants” of Clearstream Banking, respectively, shall be
applicable to any Global Security insofar as interests in such Global Security are held by the
agent members of Euroclear or Clearstream Banking. Account holders or participants in Euroclear
and Clearstream Banking shall have no rights under the Indenture with respect to such Global
Security, and the Depositary or its nominee may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and any
agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes
whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee,
or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy
or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between DTC and its agent members,
the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any
Security.

entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register; provided, further, that
payment to DTC or any successor Depositary may be made by wire transfer to the account designated

FORM OF REVERSE OF RULE 144A NOTE
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company designated as its 6.0%
Senior Notes due 2018 (hereinafter called the “Notes”), limited in aggregate principal
amount to U.S.$500,000,000 issued and to be issued under a Twelfth Supplemental Indenture, dated as
of May 12, 2008 (hereinafter called the “Twelfth Supplemental Indenture”), among the
Company, The Bank of New York, as Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent and Transfer Agent and The Bank
of New York (Luxembourg) S.A., as Luxembourg Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Listing Agent.
Additional Amounts. All payments of amounts due in respect of the Notes by the Company will be
made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes or duties of
whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of Mexico any political subdivision thereof or
any agency or authority of or in Mexico (“Taxes”) unless the withholding or deduction of
such Taxes is required by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. In that event,
the Company will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in
order that the net amounts receivable by the Holders after such withholding or deduction shall
equal the respective amounts which would have been receivable in respect of the Notes, in the
absence of such withholding or deduction, which Additional Amounts shall be due and payable when
the amounts to which such Additional Amounts relate are due and payable; except that no such
Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to:
(i) any Taxes which are imposed on, or deducted or withheld from, payments made to
the Holder or beneficial owner of a Note by reason of the existence of any present
or former connection between the Holder or beneficial owner of the Note (or between
a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a
power over, such Holder or beneficial owner, if such Holder or beneficial owner is
an estate, trust, corporation or partnership) and Mexico (or any political
subdivision or territory or possession thereof or area subject to its jurisdiction)
(including, without limitation, such Holder or beneficial owner (or such fiduciary,
settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor) (x) being or having been a
citizen or resident thereof, (y) maintaining or having maintained an office,
permanent establishment, fixed base or branch therein, or (z) being or having been
present or engaged in trade or business therein) other than the mere holding of
such Note or the receipt of amounts due in respect thereof;
(ii) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, stamp, transfer or personal property
Tax;
A-8
(iii) any Taxes that are imposed on, or withheld or deducted from, payments made to
the Holder or beneficial owner of a Note to the extent such Taxes would not have
been so imposed, deducted or withheld but for the failure by such Holder or
beneficial owner of such Note to comply with any certification, identification,
information, documentation or other
reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection
with Mexico (or any political subdivision or territory or possession thereof or
area subject to its jurisdiction) of the Holder or beneficial owner of such Note if
(x) such compliance is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation, rule,
ruling or administrative practice in order to make any claim for exemption from, or
reduction in the rate of, the imposition, withholding or deduction of any Taxes,
and (y) at least 60 days prior to the first payment date with respect to which the
Company shall apply this clause (iii), the Company shall have notified all the
Holders of Notes, in writing, that such Holders or beneficial owners of the Notes
will be required to provide such information or documentation;
(iv) any Taxes imposed on, or withheld or deducted from, payments made to a Holder
or beneficial owner of a Note at a rate in excess of the 4.9% rate of Tax in effect
on the date hereof and uniformly applicable in respect of payments made by the
Company to all Holders or beneficial owners eligible for the benefits of a treaty
for the avoidance of double taxation to which Mexico is a party without regard to
the particular circumstances of such Holders or beneficial owners (provided that,
upon any subsequent increase in the rate of Tax that would be applicable to
payments to all such Holders or beneficial owners without regard to their
particular circumstances, such increased rate shall be substituted for the 4.9%
rate for purposes of this clause (iv)), but only to the extent that (x) such Holder
or beneficial owner has failed to provide on a timely basis, at the reasonable
request of the Company (subject to the conditions set forth below), information,
documentation or other evidence concerning whether such Holder or beneficial owner
is eligible for benefits under a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation to
which Mexico is a party if necessary to determine the appropriate rate of deduction
or withholding of Taxes under such treaty or under any statute, regulation, rule,
ruling or administrative practice, and (y) at least 60 days prior to the first
payment date with respect to which the Company shall make such reasonable request,
the Company shall have notified the Holders of the Notes, in writing, that such
Holders or beneficial owners of the Notes will be required to provide such
information, documentation or other evidence;
(v) to or on behalf of a Holder of a Note in respect of Taxes that would not have
been imposed but for the presentation by such Holder for payment on a date more
than 15 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the
date on which payment thereof is duly provided for and notice thereof given to
Holders, whichever occurs later, except to the extent that the Holder of such Note
would have been entitled to Additional Amounts in respect of such Taxes on
presenting such Note for payment on any date during such 15-day period;
A-9
(vi) any withholding or deduction imposed on a payment to an individual required to
be made pursuant to the European Council Directive
2003/48/EC (the “Directive”) or any law implementing or introduced in order
to conform to, such Directive; or
(vii) any combination of (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) above (the Taxes
described in clauses (i) through (vii), for which no Additional Amounts are
payable, are hereinafter referred to as “Excluded Taxes”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations on the Company’s obligation to pay Additional
Amounts set forth in clauses (iii) and (iv) above shall not apply if (a) the provision of
information, documentation or other evidence described in such clauses (iii) and (iv) would be
materially more onerous, in form, in procedure or in the substance of information disclosed, to a
Holder or beneficial owner of a Note (taking into account any relevant differences between U.S. and
Mexican law, rules, regulations or administrative practice) than comparable information or other
reporting requirements imposed under U.S. tax law, regulations and administrative practice (such as
IRS Forms W-8BEN and W-9) or (b) Rule 3.23.8 issued by the Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público
(Ministry of Finance and Public Credit), or a substantially similar successor of such rule is in
effect, unless the provision of the information, documentation or other evidence described in
clauses (iii) and (iv) is expressly required by statute, regulation, rule, ruling or administrative
practice in order to apply Rule 3.23.8 (or a substantially similar successor of such rule), the
Company cannot obtain such information, documentation or other evidence on its own through
reasonable diligence and the Company otherwise would meet the requirements for application of Rule
3.23.8 (or such other successor of such rule). In addition, such clauses (iii) and (iv) shall not
be construed to require that a non-Mexican pension or retirement fund or a non-Mexican financial
institution or any other Holder register with the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit for the
purpose of establishing eligibility for an exemption from or reduction of Mexican withholding tax
or to require that a Holder or beneficial owner certify or provide information concerning whether
it is or is not a tax-exempt pension or retirement fund.
At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Notes is
due and payable, if the Company will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such
payment (other than Additional Amounts payable on the date of the Indenture or Twelfth Supplemental
Indenture relating to such Notes), the Company will deliver to the relevant Trustee an Officers’
Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable and the amounts so
payable and will set forth such other information necessary to enable the relevant Trustee to pay
such Additional Amounts to Holders on the payment date. Whenever either in the Indenture or such
Supplemental Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal (and premium,
if any), Redemption Price, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Note,
such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent
that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.
X-00
Xxxxxxxxxx of Notes upon a Change of Control. The Company must commence, within 30 days of the
occurrence of a Change of Control, and consummate an Offer to Purchase for all Notes then
outstanding, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the
principal amount of the Notes on the date of repurchase, plus accrued interest (if any) to the
date of purchase. The Company is not required to make an Offer to Purchase following a Change of
Control if a third party makes an Offer to Purchase that would be in compliance with the provisions
described in this Section if it were made by the Company and such third party purchases (for the
consideration referred to in the immediately preceding sentence) the Notes validly tendered and not
withdrawn. Prior to the mailing of the notice to Holders and publishing such notice to Holders in a
daily newspaper of general circulation in Luxembourg commencing such Offer to Purchase, but in any
event within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company, covenants to (i) repay in full
all indebtedness of the Company that would prohibit the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to such
Offer to Purchase or (ii) obtain any requisite consents under instruments governing any such
indebtedness of the Company to permit the repurchase of the Notes. The Company shall first comply
with the covenant in the preceding sentence before it shall be required to repurchase Notes
pursuant to this covenant.
Optional Redemption. The Company may redeem any of the Notes (the “Optional
Redemption”) in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to their maturity,
upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice of the date for such redemption (the
“Redemption Date”) mailed by first class mail to each Holder’s registered address, at a
redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes redeemed
and (2) the sum of the present values of each remaining scheduled payment of principal and interest
thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on
a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury
Rate plus 30 basis points (the “ Make-Whole Amount”), plus in each case accrued and unpaid
interest on the principal amount of the Notes to the Redemption Date.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the
semiannual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated maturity (on a day count basis) of the
Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a
percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption
date.
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected
by an Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the
remaining term of the notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of the selection and
in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities
of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such notes.
“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the
Company.
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date (1) the average of the
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and
lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation or (2) if the
Company obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all
such quotations.
A-11
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., X.X. Xxxxxx Securities Inc. or
their affiliates which are primary United States government securities dealers and two other
leading primary United States government securities dealers in New York City reasonably designated
by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary United
States government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company
will substitute therefore another Primary Treasury Dealer.
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer
and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for
the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount)
quoted in writing to the Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 pm New York time on the
third business day preceding such redemption date.
On and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion of
the Notes called for redemption (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price
and accrued interest). On or before the Redemption Date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee
money sufficient to pay the Make-Whole Amount and (unless the Redemption Date shall be an interest
payment date) accrued interest to the Redemption Date on the Notes to be redeemed on such date. If
less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the
Trustee by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.
The election of the Company to redeem the Notes shall be evidenced by a certificate (a
“Make-Whole Redemption Certificate”) of an officer of the Company, which certificate shall be
delivered to the Trustee. The Company shall, not less than 45 days nor more than 60 days prior to
the Redemption Date, notify the Trustee in writing of such Redemption Date and of all other
information necessary to the giving by the Trustee of notices of the Optional Redemption. The

completeness thereof. Such notice shall be irrevocable and upon its delivery the Company shall be
obligated to make the payment or payments to the Trustee referred to therein at least two Business
Days prior to such Redemption Date.
Notice of the Optional Redemption shall be given by the Trustee to the holders, in accordance
with the provisions of Section 106 of the Original Indenture, upon the mailing by first-class
postage prepaid to each holder at the address of such holder as it appears in the Register not less

Notes so to be redeemed are to be surrendered for payment of the Make-Whole Amount; and
(vi) the ISIN number of the Notes.
Notice of the Optional Redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes so to be redeemed
shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Make-Whole Amount therein specified.
Upon surrender of any such Notes for redemption in accordance with such notice, such Notes shall be

sufficient therefor have been deposited with the Trustee for the holders.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or in the Notes, if a Make-Whole
Redemption Certificate has been delivered to the Trustee and the Company shall have paid to the
Trustee for the benefit of the holders (i) the Make-Whole Amount and (ii) all other amounts due to
the holders and the Trustee under the Notes and the Indenture, then neither the holders nor the
Trustee on their behalf shall any longer be entitled to exercise any of the rights of the holders
under the Notes other than the rights of the holders to receive payment of such amounts from the
Paying Agent and the occurrence of an Event of Default whether before or after such payment by the
Company to the Trustee for the benefit of the holders shall not entitle either the holders or the
Trustee on their behalf after such payment to declare the principal of any Notes then outstanding
to be due and payable on any date prior to the Redemption Date. The funds paid to the Trustee
shall be used to redeem the Notes on the Redemption Date.
Withholding Tax Redemption. The Notes are subject to redemption (“Withholding Tax Redemption”)
at any time (a “Withholding Tax Redemption Date”), as a whole but not in part, at the election of
the Company, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal amount thereof plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to and including the Withholding Tax Redemption Date (the
“Withholding Tax Redemption Price”) if, as a result of (i) any change in or amendment to the laws,
rules or regulations of Mexico, or any political subdivision or taxing authority or other
instrumentality thereof or therein, or (ii) any amendment to or change in the rulings or
interpretations relating to such laws, rules or regulations made by any legislative body, court or
governmental or regulatory agency or authority (including the enactment of any legislation and the
publication of any judicial decision or regulatory determination) of Mexico, or any political
subdivision or taxing authority or other instrumentality thereof or therein, or (iii) any official
interpretation, application or pronouncement by any legislative body, court or governmental or
regulatory agency or authority that provides for a position with respect to such laws, rules or
regulations that differs from the theretofore generally accepted position, which amendment or
change is enacted, promulgated, issued or announced or which interpretation, application or
pronouncement is issued or announced, in each case,
after the Closing Date, the Company has become or would become required to pay any Additional
Amounts in excess of those attributable to Taxes that are imposed, deducted or withheld at a rate
of 10% on or from any payments under the Notes.
A-13
The election of the Company to redeem the Notes shall be evidenced by a certificate (a
“Withholding Tax Redemption Certificate”) of a financial officer of the Company, which certificate
shall be delivered to the Trustee. The Company shall, not less than 35 days nor more than 45 days
prior to the Withholding Tax Redemption Date, notify the Trustee in writing of such Withholding Tax
Redemption Date and of all other information necessary to the giving by the Trustee of notices of
such Withholding Tax Redemption. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon the
information so furnished by the Company in the Withholding Tax Redemption Certificate and shall be
under no duty to check the accuracy or completeness thereof. Such notice shall be irrevocable and
upon its delivery the Company shall be obligated to make the payment or payments to the Trustee
referred to therein at least two Business Days prior to such Withholding Tax Redemption Date.
Notice of Withholding Tax Redemption shall be given by the Trustee to the Holders, in
accordance with the provisions of Section 106 of the Original Indenture, upon the mailing by
first-class postage prepaid to each Holder at the address of such Holder as it appears in the
Register not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Withholding Tax Redemption Date.

(ii) the Withholding Tax Redemption Price;
(iii) the sum of all other amounts due to the Holders under the Notes and the
Indenture;
(iv) that on the Withholding Tax Redemption Date the Withholding Tax Redemption Price
will become due and payable upon each such Note so to be redeemed;
(v) the place or places, including the offices of our Paying Agent in Luxembourg,
where such Notes so to be redeemed are to be surrendered for payment of the Withholding Tax
Redemption Price; and
(vi) the ISIN number of the Notes.
Notice of Withholding Tax Redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes so to be
redeemed shall, on the Withholding Tax Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Withholding
Tax Redemption Price therein specified. Upon surrender of any such Notes for redemption in
accordance with such notice, such Notes shall be paid by the Paying Agent on behalf of the Company
on the Withholding Tax Redemption
Date; provided that moneys sufficient therefor have been deposited with the Trustee for the
Holders.
A-14
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or in the Notes, if a Withholding
Tax Redemption Certificate has been delivered to the Trustee and the Company shall have paid to the
Trustee for the benefit of the Holders (i) the Withholding Tax Redemption Price and (ii) all other
amounts due to the Holders and the Trustee under the Notes and the Indenture, then neither the
Holders nor the Trustee on their behalf shall any longer be entitled to exercise any of the rights
of the Holders under the Notes other than the rights of the Holders to receive payment of such

series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes of such series, to waive
compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under
the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall
be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any
Notes issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange
herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this
Note or such Notes.
A-19

herein and in the Indenture prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein and in this
Note, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Security Register upon surrender of this
Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company maintained for the purpose

Supplemental Indenture establishing the terms of the Notes and as more fully provided in the
Original Indenture. As provided in the Original Indenture, and subject to certain limitations set
forth in the Original Indenture and in this Note, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate
principal amount of Notes of this Series in different authorized denominations, as requested by the
Holders surrendering the same.

Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
payable in connection therewith, other than in certain cases provided in the Indenture.

the Rule 144A Note of the same series only if such exchange or transfer complies with the terms for
transfer contained in the Indenture.

sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all Notes of this series, and satisfies
certain other conditions, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.
This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New
York without giving effect to any provisions relating to conflicts of laws other than

FORM OF REVERSE OF REGULATION S NOTE
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company designated as its 6.0%
Senior Notes due 2018 (hereinafter called the “Notes”), limited in aggregate principal
amount to U.S.$500,000,000 issued and to be issued under a Twelfth Supplemental Indenture, dated as
of May 12, 2008 (hereinafter called the “Twelfth Supplemental Indenture”), among the
Company, The Bank of New York, as Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent and Transfer Agent and The Bank
of New York (Luxembourg) S.A., as Luxembourg Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Listing Agent.
Additional Amounts. All payments of amounts due in respect of the Notes by the Company will be
made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes or duties of
whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of Mexico any political subdivision thereof or
any agency or authority of or in Mexico (“Taxes”) unless the withholding or deduction of
such Taxes is required by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. In that event,
the Company will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in
order that the net amounts receivable by the Holders after such withholding or deduction shall
equal the respective amounts which would have been receivable in respect of the Notes, in the
absence of such withholding or deduction, which Additional Amounts shall be due and payable when
the amounts to which such Additional Amounts relate are due and payable; except that no such
Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to:
(i) any Taxes which are imposed on, or deducted or withheld from, payments made to
the Holder or beneficial owner of a Note by reason of the existence of any present
or former connection between the Holder or beneficial owner of the Note (or between
a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a
power over, such Holder or beneficial owner, if such Holder or beneficial owner is
an estate, trust, corporation or partnership) and Mexico (or any political
subdivision or territory or possession thereof or area subject to its jurisdiction)
(including, without limitation, such Holder or beneficial owner (or such fiduciary,
settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor) (x) being or having been a
citizen or resident thereof, (y) maintaining or having maintained an office,
permanent establishment, fixed base or branch therein, or (z) being or having been
present or engaged in trade or business therein) other than the mere holding of
such Note or the receipt of amounts due in respect thereof;
(ii) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, stamp, transfer or personal property
Tax;
A-23
(iii) any Taxes that are imposed on, or withheld or deducted from, payments made to
the Holder or beneficial owner of a Note to the extent such Taxes would not have
been so imposed, deducted or withheld but for the failure by such Holder or
beneficial owner of such Note to comply with any certification, identification,
information, documentation or other
reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection
with Mexico (or any political subdivision or territory or possession thereof or
area subject to its jurisdiction) of the Holder or beneficial owner of such Note if
(x) such compliance is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation, rule,
ruling or administrative practice in order to make any claim for exemption from, or
reduction in the rate of, the imposition, withholding or deduction of any Taxes,
and (y) at least 60 days prior to the first payment date with respect to which the
Company shall apply this clause (iii), the Company shall have notified all the
Holders of Notes, in writing, that such Holders or beneficial owners of the Notes
will be required to provide such information or documentation;
(iv) any Taxes imposed on, or withheld or deducted from, payments made to a Holder
or beneficial owner of a Note at a rate in excess of the 4.9% rate of Tax in effect
on the date hereof and uniformly applicable in respect of payments made by the
Company to all Holders or beneficial owners eligible for the benefits of a treaty
for the avoidance of double taxation to which Mexico is a party without regard to
the particular circumstances of such Holders or beneficial owners (provided that,
upon any subsequent increase in the rate of Tax that would be applicable to
payments to all such Holders or beneficial owners without regard to their
particular circumstances, such increased rate shall be substituted for the 4.9%
rate for purposes of this clause (iv)), but only to the extent that (x) such Holder
or beneficial owner has failed to provide on a timely basis, at the reasonable
request of the Company (subject to the conditions set forth below), information,
documentation or other evidence concerning whether such Holder or beneficial owner
is eligible for benefits under a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation to
which Mexico is a party if necessary to determine the appropriate rate of deduction
or withholding of Taxes under such treaty or under any statute, regulation, rule,
ruling or administrative practice, and (y) at least 60 days prior to the first
payment date with respect to which the Company shall make such reasonable request,
the Company shall have notified the Holders of the Notes, in writing, that such
Holders or beneficial owners of the Notes will be required to provide such
information, documentation or other evidence;
(v) to or on behalf of a Holder of a Note in respect of Taxes that would not have
been imposed but for the presentation by such Holder for payment on a date more
than 15 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the
date on which payment thereof is duly provided for and notice thereof given to
Holders, whichever occurs later, except to the extent that the Holder of such Note
would have been entitled to Additional Amounts in respect of such Taxes on
presenting such Note for payment on any date during such 15-day period;
A-24
(vi) any withholding or deduction imposed on a payment to an individual required to
be made pursuant to the European Council Directive
2003/48/EC (the “Directive”) or any law implementing or introduced in order
to conform to, such Directive; or
(vii) any combination of (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) above (the Taxes
described in clauses (i) through (vii), for which no Additional Amounts are
payable, are hereinafter referred to as “Excluded Taxes”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations on the Company’s obligation to pay Additional
Amounts set forth in clauses (iii) and (iv) above shall not apply if (a) the provision of
information, documentation or other evidence described in such clauses (iii) and (iv) would be
materially more onerous, in form, in procedure or in the substance of information disclosed, to a
Holder or beneficial owner of a Note (taking into account any relevant differences between U.S. and
Mexican law, rules, regulations or administrative practice) than comparable information or other
reporting requirements imposed under U.S. tax law, regulations and administrative practice (such as
IRS Forms W-8BEN and W-9) or (b) Rule 3.23.8 issued by the Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público
(Ministry of Finance and Public Credit), or a substantially similar successor of such rule is in
effect, unless the provision of the information, documentation or other evidence described in
clauses (iii) and (iv) is expressly required by statute, regulation, rule, ruling or administrative
practice in order to apply Rule 3.23.8 (or a substantially similar successor of such rule), the
Company cannot obtain such information, documentation or other evidence on its own through
reasonable diligence and the Company otherwise would meet the requirements for application of Rule
3.23.8 (or such other successor of such rule). In addition, such clauses (iii) and (iv) shall not
be construed to require that a non-Mexican pension or retirement fund or a non-Mexican financial
institution or any other Holder register with the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit for the
purpose of establishing eligibility for an exemption from or reduction of Mexican withholding tax
or to require that a Holder or beneficial owner certify or provide information concerning whether
it is or is not a tax-exempt pension or retirement fund.
At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Notes is
due and payable, if the Company will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such
payment (other than Additional Amounts payable on the date of the Indenture or Twelfth Supplemental
Indenture relating to such Notes), the Company will deliver to the relevant Trustee an Officers’
Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable and the amounts so
payable and will set forth such other information necessary to enable the relevant Trustee to pay
such Additional Amounts to Holders on the payment date. Whenever either in the Indenture or such
Supplemental Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal (and premium,
if any), Redemption Price, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Note,
such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent
that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.
X-00
Xxxxxxxxxx of Notes upon a Change of Control. The Company must commence, within 30 days of the
occurrence of a Change of Control, and consummate an Offer to Purchase for all Notes then
outstanding, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the
principal amount of the Notes on the date of repurchase, plus accrued interest (if any) to the
date of purchase. The Company is not required to make an Offer to Purchase following a Change of
Control if a third party makes an Offer to Purchase that would be in compliance with the provisions
described in this Section if it were made by the Company and such third party purchases (for the
consideration referred to in the immediately preceding sentence) the Notes validly tendered and not
withdrawn. Prior to the mailing of the notice to Holders and publishing such notice to Holders in a
daily newspaper of general circulation in Luxembourg commencing such Offer to Purchase, but in any
event within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company, covenants to (i) repay in full
all indebtedness of the Company that would prohibit the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to such
Offer to Purchase or (ii) obtain any requisite consents under instruments governing any such
indebtedness of the Company to permit the repurchase of the Notes. The Company shall first comply
with the covenant in the preceding sentence before it shall be required to repurchase Notes
pursuant to this covenant.
Optional Redemption. The Company may redeem any of the Notes (the “Optional
Redemption”) in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to their maturity,
upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice of the date for such redemption (the
“Redemption Date”) mailed by first class mail to each Holder’s registered address, at a
redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes redeemed
and (2) the sum of the present values of each remaining scheduled payment of principal and interest
thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on
a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury
Rate plus 30 basis points (the “Make-Whole Amount”), plus in each case accrued and unpaid
interest on the principal amount of the Notes to the Redemption Date.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the
semiannual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated maturity (on a day count basis) of the
Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a
percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption
date.
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected
by an Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the
remaining term of the notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of the selection and
in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities
of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such notes.
“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the
Company.
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date (1) the average of the
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and
lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation or (2) if the
Company obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all
such quotations.
A-26
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., X.X. Xxxxxx Securities Inc. or
their affiliates which are primary United States government securities dealers and two other
leading primary United States government securities dealers in New York City reasonably designated
by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary United
States government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company
will substitute therefore another Primary Treasury Dealer.
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer
and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for
the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount)
quoted in writing to the Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 pm New York time on the
third business day preceding such redemption date.
On and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion of
the Notes called for redemption (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price
and accrued interest). On or before the Redemption Date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee
money sufficient to pay the Make-Whole Amount and (unless the Redemption Date shall be an interest
payment date) accrued interest to the Redemption Date on the Notes to be redeemed on such date. If
less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the
Trustee by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.
The election of the Company to redeem the Notes shall be evidenced by a certificate (a
“Make-Whole Redemption Certificate”) of an officer of the Company, which certificate shall be
delivered to the Trustee. The Company shall, not less than 45 days nor more than 60 days prior to
the Redemption Date, notify the Trustee in writing of such Redemption Date and of all other
information necessary to the giving by the Trustee of notices of the Optional Redemption. The
Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon the information so furnished by the Company in
the Make-Whole Redemption Certificate and shall be under no duty to check the accuracy or
completeness thereof. Such notice shall be irrevocable and upon its delivery the Company shall be
obligated to make the payment or payments to the Trustee referred to therein at least two Business
Days prior to such Redemption Date.
Notice of the Optional Redemption shall be given by the Trustee to the holders, in accordance
with the provisions of Section 106 of the Original Indenture, upon the mailing by first-class
postage prepaid to each holder at the address of such holder as it appears in the Register not less
than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date.
A-27
The notice of Optional Redemption shall state:
(i) the Redemption Date;
(ii) the Make-Whole Amount;
(iii) the sum of all other amounts due to the holders under the Notes and the Indenture;
(iv) that on the Redemption Date the Make-Whole Amount will become due and payable upon each
such Note so to be redeemed;
(v) the place or places, including the offices of our Paying Agent in Luxembourg, where such
Notes so to be redeemed are to be surrendered for payment of the Make-Whole Amount; and
(vi) the ISIN number of the Notes.
Notice of the Optional Redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes so to be redeemed
shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Make-Whole Amount therein specified.
Upon surrender of any such Notes for redemption in accordance with such notice, such Notes shall be
paid by the Paying Agent on behalf of the Company on the Redemption Date; provided that moneys
sufficient therefor have been deposited with the Trustee for the holders.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or in the Notes, if a Make-Whole
Redemption Certificate has been delivered to the Trustee and the Company shall have paid to the
Trustee for the benefit of the holders (i) the Make-Whole Amount and (ii) all other amounts due to
the holders and the Trustee under the Notes and the Indenture, then neither the holders nor the
Trustee on their behalf shall any longer be entitled to exercise any of the rights of the holders
under the Notes other than the rights of the holders to receive payment of such amounts from the
Paying Agent and the occurrence of an Event of Default whether before or after such payment by the
Company to the Trustee for the benefit of the holders shall not entitle either the holders or the
Trustee on their behalf after such payment to declare the principal of any Notes then outstanding
to be due and payable on any date prior to the Redemption Date. The funds paid to the Trustee
shall be used to redeem the Notes on the Redemption Date.
Withholding Tax Redemption. The Notes are subject to redemption (“Withholding Tax Redemption”)
at any time (a “Withholding Tax Redemption Date”), as a whole but not in part, at the election of
the Company, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal amount thereof plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to and including the Withholding Tax Redemption Date (the
“Withholding Tax Redemption Price”) if, as a result of (i) any change in or amendment to the laws,
rules or regulations of Mexico, or any political subdivision or taxing authority or other
instrumentality thereof or therein, or (ii) any amendment to or change in the rulings or
interpretations relating to such laws, rules or regulations made by any legislative body, court or
governmental or regulatory agency or authority (including the enactment of any legislation and the
publication of any judicial decision or regulatory determination) of Mexico, or any political
subdivision or taxing authority or other instrumentality thereof or therein, or (iii) any official
interpretation, application or pronouncement by any legislative body, court or governmental or
regulatory agency or authority that provides for a position with respect to such laws, rules or
regulations that differs from the theretofore generally accepted position, which amendment or

“Withholding Tax Redemption Certificate”) of a financial officer of the Company, which certificate
shall be delivered to the Trustee. The Company shall, not less than 35 days nor more than 45 days
prior to the Withholding Tax Redemption Date, notify the Trustee in writing of such Withholding Tax
Redemption Date and of all other information necessary to the giving by the Trustee of notices of
such Withholding Tax Redemption. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon the
information so furnished by the Company in the Withholding Tax Redemption Certificate and shall be
under no duty to check the accuracy or completeness thereof. Such notice shall be irrevocable and
upon its delivery the Company shall be obligated to make the payment or payments to the Trustee

(v) the place or places, including the offices of our Paying Agent in Luxembourg,

redeemed shall, on the Withholding Tax Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Withholding
Tax Redemption Price therein specified. Upon surrender of any such Notes for redemption in
accordance with such notice, such Notes shall be paid by the Paying Agent on behalf of the Company
on the Withholding Tax Redemption
Date; provided that moneys sufficient therefor have been deposited with the Trustee for the
Holders.
A-29
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or in the Notes, if a Withholding
Tax Redemption Certificate has been delivered to the Trustee and the Company shall have paid to the
Trustee for the benefit of the Holders (i) the Withholding Tax Redemption Price and (ii) all other
amounts due to the Holders and the Trustee under the Notes and the Indenture, then neither the
Holders nor the Trustee on their behalf shall any longer be entitled to exercise any of the rights
of the Holders under the Notes other than the rights of the Holders to receive payment of such
amounts from the Paying Agent and the occurrence of an Event of Default whether before or after
such payment by the Company to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders shall not entitle either
the Holders or the Trustee on their behalf after such payment to declare the principal of any Notes
then outstanding to be due and payable on any date prior to the Withholding Tax Redemption Date.
The funds paid to the Trustee shall be used to redeem the Notes on the Withholding Tax Redemption
Date.
All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Indenture.
