not a day on which banking institutions or foreign exchange markets in Mexico City generally are

markets in Mexico City are open for business with the general public.
“Mexican Peso” and “Ps.” shall mean the legal currency of the United Mexican States.
“Notes” shall mean the Company’s 8.49% Senior Notes due 2037.
“Rate Calculation Date” shall mean the second Mexican FX Day immediately preceding an interest

sentence, if the Rate Calculation Date is not a business day, then the Rate Calculation Date shall
be the immediately preceding Mexican FX day (i.e., prior to such second Mexican FX Day) that is a

the Alternative Rate can be ascertained on a Rate Calculation Date in accordance with the
foregoing, the Company shall determine the Settlement Rate (and method of determining the
Settlement Rate) in respect of such date in its sole and absolute discretion, taking into
consideration all available information that in good faith it deems relevant.

such series authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in
lieu of, other Securities of the same series pursuant to Section 305, 306, 904 or 1107 of the
Original Indenture; provided, however, that the Notes may be reopened, without the consent of the
Holders thereof, for issuance of additional Securities of the same series.
Section 203 Registered Securities.
The certificates for the Notes shall be Registered Securities in global form and shall be in
substantially the forms attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2

4
Section 206 Interest.
The principal of the Notes shall bear interest from the later of May 9, 2007 or from the most
recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or provided for, payable semiannually
on May 11 and November 11 of each year, commencing November 11, 2007 to the Persons in whose names
the Notes (or one or more Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on the

Additional Amounts will be made on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that interest will
accrue on the principal of the Notes at the applicable interest rate from the original Interest
Payment Date to (but excluding) that next Business Day. Payments postponed to the next Business
Day in this situation will be treated as if they were made on the original due date and
postponement of this kind will not result in an Event of Default under the Notes, the Indenture or

Interest on the Notes will accrue at the rate of 8.49% per annum, until the principal thereof
is paid or made available for payment.

the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for trading on the Euro MTF and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange so require, a Paying Agent and a Transfer Agent with a specified office in Luxembourg,
from time to time; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest on
either series may be made by check mailed to the address of the Persons entitled thereto, as such
addresses shall appear in the Security Register.
The Company hereby initially appoints the Trustee at its office in The City of New York as the
Registrar, a Paying Agent and a Transfer Agent under the Indenture and the Trustee, by its
execution hereof, accepts such appointment; provided, however, that (subject to Section 1002 of the
Indenture) the Company may at any time remove the Trustee at its office or agency in The City of
New York designated for the foregoing purposes and may from time to time designate one or more
other offices or agencies for the foregoing purposes and may from time to time rescind such
designations. The Company hereby initially appoints The Bank of New York (Luxembourg) S.A. at its
office at Aerogolf Center, 0X Xxxxxxxxx, X-0000 Xxxxxxxxxxxxx, Luxembourg, to act as a Luxembourg
Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Listing Agent under the Indenture and
5
The Bank of New York (Luxembourg) S.A. by its execution hereof, hereby accepts such
appointment. The Trustee, the Registrar, each Paying Agent and Transfer Agent shall keep copies of
the Indenture available for inspection and copying by holders of the Notes during normal business
hours at their respective offices.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder of the Peso equivalent of U.S.$10 million or more in
aggregate principal amount of certificated Notes on a Regular Record Date shall be entitled to
receive interest payments, if any, on any Interest Payment Date, other than an Interest Payment
Date that is also the date of Maturity, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if
appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee not less than
15 calendar days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Any wire transfer instructions
received by the Trustee will remain in effect until revoked by the Holder. Any interest not
punctually paid or duly provided for on a certificated note on any interest payment date other than
the maturity date will cease 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 of business on a special record date for the payment of the
defaulted interest that is fixed by the Company, written notice of which will be given to the
holders of the notes not less than 30 calendar days prior to the special record date, or (2) at any
time in any other lawful manner.
Rule 144A Security to Regulation S Security. If a holder of a beneficial interest in the Rule
144A Security deposited with the Depositary wishes at any time to exchange all or a portion of its
beneficial interest in such Rule 144A Security, for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S
Security, or to transfer all or a portion of its beneficial interest in such Rule 144A Security to

transfer of such beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in such Regulation S
Security.

the Trustee to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Security in
an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Security to be exchanged or
transferred, (2) a written order given in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures containing

the case may be, to reduce or reflect on its records a reduction of the Rule 144A Security by the
aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in such Rule 144A Security to be so exchanged
or transferred and the Trustee, as transfer agent, shall instruct the Depositary, its nominee, or
the custodian for the Depositary, as the case may
6
be, concurrently with such reduction, to increase or reflect on its records an increase of the
principal amount of such Regulation S Security by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial
interest in such Rule 144A Security to be so exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause to be
credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in such
Regulation S Security equal to the reduction in the principal amount of such Rule 144A Security.
Regulation S Security to Rule 144A Security. If a holder of a beneficial interest in the
Regulation S Security which is deposited with the Depositary wishes at any time to exchange its
interest for a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Security, or to transfer its beneficial
interest in the Rule 144A Security, or to transfer its beneficial interest in such Regulation S
Security to a person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in
such Rule 144A Security, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear or
Clearstream Banking or the Depositary, as the case may be, and to the requirements set forth in the
following sentence, exchange or cause the exchange or transfer or cause the transfer of such
interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in such Rule 144A Security.
Upon receipt by the Trustee, as transfer agent, at its offices in The City of New York of (1)

exchanged or transferred, such instructions to contain information regarding the agent member’s
account with the Depositary to be credited with such increase, and (2) with respect to an exchange
or transfer of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Security for a beneficial interest in the
Rule 144A Security, a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto given by the holder
of such beneficial interest, the Trustee, as transfer agent, shall instruct the Depositary, its
nominee, or the custodian for the Depositary, as the case may be, to reduce or reflect on its
records a reduction of the Regulation S Security, as the case may be, by the aggregate principal
amount of the beneficial interest in such Regulation S Security to be exchanged or transferred, and
the Trustee, as transfer agent, shall instruct the Depositary, its nominee, or the custodian for
the Depositary, as the case may be, concurrently with such reduction, to increase or reflect on its
records an increase of the principal amount of such Rule 144A Security by the aggregate principal
amount of the beneficial interest in such Regulation S Security, as the case may be, to be so
exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person
specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in such Rule 144A Security equal to the
reduction in the principal amount of such Regulation S Security, as the case may be.
Section 208 Redemption of the Securities.

Indenture in accordance with Article Eleven thereof.

and any other amounts due in respect of the Notes in Mexican Pesos. A Holder who wishes to elect
to receive a particular payment in Mexican Pesos must notify the principal paying agent no later
than the eighth day preceding the applicable payment date (but not earlier than the applicable

of any such election with respect to each payment date. Holders who own beneficial interests in a
Global Security through accounts with Clearstream Banking or Euroclear must arrange to have such
notice given on their behalf.
Section 211 Applicability of Certain Indenture Provisions.
All Sections of the Original Indenture shall apply to the Notes, except for Articles Twelve
and Thirteen.
Section 212 Security Registrar and Paying Agent.
The Trustee shall be Security Registrar and the initial Paying Agent and initial Transfer
Agent for the Notes (subject to the Company’s right (subject to Section 1002 of the Indenture) to
remove the Trustee as such Paying Agent and or Transfer Agent with respect to each series and or,
from time to time, to designate one or more co-registrars and one or more other Paying Agents and
Transfer Agents and to rescind from time to time any such designations), and The City of New York
is designated as a Place of Payment for the Notes. The Company shall maintain a Paying Agent and
Transfer Agent in Luxembourg for so long as any Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange
for trading on the Euro MTF.
Section 213 Global Securities.
(a) Form of Securities. The Notes may be issued in whole or in part in the
form of one or more Global Securities in fully registered form. No Notes will be issued in
bearer form. The initial Depositary for the Global Securities shall be The Bank of New
York Depositary (Nominees) Limited as Common Depositary
8
for Euroclear and Clearstream, and the depositary arrangements shall be those employed
by whoever shall be the Depositary with respect to the Notes from time to time.
(b) Rule 144A Securities. Notes initially offered and sold in reliance on
Rule 144A to QIBs shall be issued in the form of permanent Global Securities in definitive,
fully registered form, without interest coupons, substantially in the form of Exhibit
A-1 (the “Rule 144A Security”). The Rule 144A Security shall be 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 Indenture. The
aggregate principal amount of the Rule 144A Security may from time to time be increased or
decreased by adjustments made on the records of the custodian for the Depositary or its
nominee, as the case may be.
(c) Regulation S Securities. Notes offered and sold in reliance on
Regulation S shall be issued in the form of Global Securities in definitive, fully
registered form, without interest coupons, substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2
(the “Regulation S Security”). The Regulation S Security shall be 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 herein, for credit to their respective
accounts (or to such other accounts as they may direct) at Euroclear or Clearstream
Banking. During the Restricted Period, interests in a Regulation S Security may be
exchanged for interests in the Rule 144A Security. The aggregate principal amount of the
Regulation S Security may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made
on the records of the custodian for the Depositary or the Depositary or its nominee, as the
case may be, as provided herein.
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
in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person, other than the Depositary or a
nominee thereof unless (A) the Depositary has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable
to continue as Depositary for such Global Security and a successor Depositary has not been
appointed within 90 days, or (B) the Depositary has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under
the Exchange Act, or (C) 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 or (D) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of
9
Default with respect to such Global Security. If any of these events occur, the Trustee will
reissue the Global Securities in fully certificated registered form to holders of beneficial
interests in the Global Securities and will recognize the registered holders of the certificated
Notes as Holders under the Indenture.
Each time that the Company transfers or exchanges a new Note in certificated form for another
Note in certificated form, and after the Transfer Agent receives a completed assignment form, the
Company will make available for delivery the new definitive Note at, as the case may be, the
offices of the Transfer Agent in New York City or at the main office of the Transfer Agent in
Luxembourg. Alternatively, at the option of the person requesting the transfer or exchange, the
Company will mail, at that person’s risk, the new definitive Note to the address of the person that
is specified in the assignment form. In addition, if the Company issues Notes in certificated
form, then it will make payments of, interest on and any other amounts payable under the Notes to
Holders in whose names Notes in certificated form, are registered at the close of business on the
record date for these payments. If the Notes are issued in certificated form, the Company will
make payments of principal and any redemption payments against the surrender of these certificated
Notes at the offices of the Paying Agent in New York City or, as long as the Notes are listed on
the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for trading on the Euro MTF, at the main office of the Paying Agent
in Luxembourg.
If the Company issues the Notes in certificated registered form, so long as the notes are
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, shall be registered in such names and be in
such denominations as the Depositary shall designate and shall bear any legends required hereunder.
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
10
Regulations” and “Instructions to Participants” of Clearstream Banking, respectively,

Rule 144A Note
Grupo Televisa, S.A.B., a publicly traded limited liability stock corporation (sociedad
anónima bursátil), organized under the laws of the United Mexican States (hereinafter called the
“Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture referred to
below), for value received, hereby promises to pay to The Bank of New York Depositary (Nominees)
Limited, or registered assigns, the principal sum of [ ] Mexican Pesos (Ps. [ ]) (or such
lesser amount as shall be the outstanding principal amount of this Rule 144A Note shown in
Schedule A hereto) on May 11, 2037, and to pay interest thereon from May 9, 2007, or from
the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for, semiannually on May 11 and
November 11, in each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing November 11, 2007,
at the rate of 8.49% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment.
Interest on this Note shall be calculated on the actual number of days during the relevant interest
period and a 360-day year. If any payment is due on the Note on a day that is not a Business Day,
the related payment of principal, interest, premium and Additional Amounts will be made on the next
succeeding Business Day; provided that interest will accrue on the principal of the Notes at the
applicable interest rate from the original Interest Payment Date to (but excluding) that next
Business Day or Interest Payment Date. The interest so payable and paid or provided for on any
Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this
Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date for such interest, which shall be the fifteenth calendar day (whether or not a Business
Day) preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest which is payable, but is not paid or
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered
Holder hereof on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and may be
paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the
close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed
by the Company, notice whereof shall be given to the Holders of Notes of this Series not less than
10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner
not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed,
and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in such
Indenture.
Payment of principal, interest, Additional Amounts and any other amounts due on this Note will
be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the
time of payment is legal tender for payment of
A-1-3
public and private debts or, subject to certain conditions as set forth in the reverse hereof,
Mexican Pesos; provided, however, that, at the option of the Company, interest may be paid by check
mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security
Register; provided, further, that payment to the Depositary may be made by wire transfer to the
account designated by the Depositary in writing.

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.

alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of and interest on this Note, at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency,
herein and in the Indenture prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein and in this

payable in connection therewith, other than in certain cases provided in the Indenture.
Interests in this Note are exchangeable or transferable in whole or in part for interests in
the Regulation S Note, of the same series, only if such exchange or transfer complies with the
terms for transfer contained in the Indenture.

FORM OF REVERSE OF RULE 144A NOTE
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company designated as its 8.49%
Senior Notes due 2037 (hereinafter called the “Notes”), limited in aggregate principal
amount to Ps.4,500,000,000, issued and to be issued under a Tenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as
of May 9, 2007 (hereinafter called the “Tenth Supplemental Indenture”), among the Company,
The Bank of New York, as Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent, Transfer Agent, and Calculation Agent,
and The Bank of New York (Luxembourg) S.A., as Luxembourg Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Listing
Agent.
Payment of principal, interest, additional amounts and any other amounts due in respect of the
Notes will be made, except as provided below, in Dollars, in amounts determined by translating the
Mexican Peso amounts into Dollars at the Settlement Rate on the applicable Rate Calculation Date.
For the purposes of translating Mexican Peso amounts into Dollars:
“Settlement Rate” shall mean the Mexican Peso / U.S. Dollar exchange rate, or the “FIX FX
Rate,” reported by the Banco de México (Bank of Mexico, or “Central Bank”) as the average of quotes
in the wholesale foreign exchange market in Mexico for transactions payable in 48 hours on its
website (which, at the date hereof, is located at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx.xx) on the applicable Rate
Calculation Date. In the event that the FIX FX Rate is not so available by 3:00 p.m. (Mexico City
time) on any Rate Calculation Date, then the Settlement Rate for such Rate Calculation Date shall
be determined by taking the arithmetic mean (such mean, the “Alternative Rate”) of the Mexican Peso
/ U.S. Dollar exchange rate for the foreign exchange market in Mexico for transactions payable in
48 hours offered at or about such time on such date by (i) Banco Nacional de México, S.A.,
Institución de Banca Múltiple, (ii) Banco Inbursa, S.A., Institución de Banca Múltiple, Grupo
Financiero Inbursa, (iii) Bank of America Global FX, (iv) HSBC México, S.A., Institución de Banca
Múltiple, Grupo Financiero HSBC and (v) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Reference Banks”);
provided, however, that if any of the Reference Banks ceases to offer such an exchange rate, that
bank shall be replaced by the Company, for the purpose of determining the Alternative Rate, with
another leading bank or financial institution. In the event that neither the FIX FX Rate nor the
Alternative Rate can be ascertained on a Rate Calculation Date in accordance with the foregoing,
the Company shall determine the Settlement Rate (and method of determining the Settlement Rate) in
respect of such date in its sole and absolute discretion, taking into consideration all available
information that in good faith it deems relevant.
“Rate Calculation Date” shall mean the second Mexican FX Day immediately preceding an interest
payment date, maturity date or redemption date, as applicable. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, if the Rate Calculation Date is not a business day, then the Rate Calculation Date shall
be the immediately preceding Mexican FX day (i.e., prior to such second Mexican FX Day) that is a
business day. For purposes of such calculation, “business day” shall mean each Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday
A-1-8
and Friday that is (i) not a day on which banking institutions in New York City or Mexico City
generally are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close and (ii) a day
on which banks and financial institutions in Mexico are open for business with the general public
(it being understood that payments will be made on the Notes only on days other than a Saturday,
Sunday or other day on which banking institutions in London are authorized or obligated by law,
regulation or executive order to close).
“Mexican FX Day” shall mean each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday that is (i)
not a day on which banking institutions or foreign exchange markets in Mexico City generally are
authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close and (ii) a day on which
banking institutions and foreign exchange markets in Mexico City are open for business with the
general public.
A Holder of the Notes may elect to receive payment of principal, interest, additional amounts
and any other amounts due in respect of the notes in Mexican Pesos. A Holder who wishes to elect
to receive a particular payment in Mexican Pesos must notify the principal paying agent no later
than the eighth day preceding the applicable payment date (but not earlier than the applicable
record date). Holders who wish to receive payments in Mexican Pesos must deliver a separate notice
of any such election with respect to each payment date. Holders who own beneficial interests in
the Global Note through accounts with Clearstream Banking or Euroclear must arrange to have such
notice given on their behalf.
Additional Amounts. All payments of amounts due in respect of the Notes by the Company will
be made without withholding or reduction 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 in or of 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 amount 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 the Notes by reason of the existence of any present or former
connection between the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes (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
A-1-9
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 Notes or the receipt of amounts due in respect thereof;
(ii) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, stamp, transfer or personal property Tax;
(iii) any Taxes that are imposed on, or withheld or deducted from, payments made to
the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes 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 Notes 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 Notes 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 the Notes 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;
A-1-10
(v) to or on behalf of a Holder of the Notes 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 Notes would have been entitled to
Additional Amounts in respect of such Taxes on presenting such Notes for payment on any
date during such 15-day period; or
(vi) any combination of (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above (the Taxes described in
clauses (i) through (vi), 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 find 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 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), interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Notes, such mention
shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional
A-1-11
Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable
in respect thereof.
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
days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior notice of the date for such redemption (the “Redemption Date”)

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 (calculated
on the basis of the actual number of days in each such remaining interest period and a 360-day
year) at the M Xxxx Rate (the “Make-Whole Amount”), plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest
on the principal amount of the Notes to the Redemption Date.
“M Xxxx 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 M Xxxx Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable M Xxxx Issue (expressed as a
percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable M Xxxx Price for such redemption date.
“Comparable M Xxxx Issue” means the Mexican Bonos de Desarrollo del Gobierno Federal con Tasa
de Interés Fija 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 the notes.
“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference M Xxxx Dealers appointed by the
Company.
“Comparable M Xxxx Price” means, with respect to any redemption date (1) the average of the
Reference M Xxxx Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest

M Xxxx Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
“Reference M Xxxx Dealer” means (i) Casa de Bolsa Santander S.A., (ii) ING (México) S.A. de

Comparable M Xxxx Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in
writing to the Company by such Reference M Xxxx Dealer at 2:30 pm Mexico City 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 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

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

Paying Agent and the occurrence of an Event of Default whether before or after such payment by the

FORM OF REVERSE OF REGULATION S NOTE
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company designated as its 8.49%
Senior Notes due 2037 (hereinafter called the “Notes”), limited in aggregate principal
amount to Ps.4,500,000,000, issued and to be issued under a Tenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as
of May 9, 2007 (hereinafter called the “Tenth Supplemental Indenture”), among the Company,
The Bank of New York, as Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent, Transfer Agent, and Calculation Agent,
and The Bank of New York (Luxembourg) S.A., as Luxembourg Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Listing
Agent.
Payment of principal, interest, additional amounts and any other amounts due in respect of the
Notes will be made, except as provided below, in Dollars, in amounts determined by translating the
Mexican Peso amounts into Dollars at the Settlement Rate on the applicable Rate Calculation Date.
For the purposes of translating Mexican Peso amounts into Dollars:
“Settlement Rate” shall mean the Mexican Peso / U.S. Dollar exchange rate, or the “FIX FX
Rate,” reported by the Banco de México (Bank of Mexico, or “Central Bank”) as the average of quotes
in the wholesale foreign exchange market in Mexico for transactions payable in 48 hours on its
website (which, at the date hereof, is located at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx.xx) on the applicable Rate
Calculation Date. In the event that the FIX FX Rate is not so available by 3:00 p.m. (Mexico City
time) on any Rate Calculation Date, then the Settlement Rate for such Rate Calculation Date shall
be determined by taking the arithmetic mean (such mean, the “Alternative Rate”) of the Mexican Peso
/ U.S. Dollar exchange rate for the foreign exchange market in Mexico for transactions payable in
48 hours offered at or about such time on such date by (i) Banco Nacional de México, S.A.,
Institución de Banca Múltiple, (ii) Banco Inbursa, S.A., Institución de Banca Múltiple, Grupo
Financiero Inbursa, (iii) Bank of America Global FX, (iv) HSBC México, S.A., Institución de Banca
Múltiple, Grupo Financiero HSBC and (v) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Reference Banks”);
provided, however, that if any of the Reference Banks ceases to offer such an exchange rate, that
bank shall be replaced by the Company, for the purpose of determining the Alternative Rate, with
another leading bank or financial institution. In the event that neither the FIX FX Rate nor the
Alternative Rate can be ascertained on a Rate Calculation Date in accordance with the foregoing,
the Company shall determine the Settlement Rate (and method of determining the Settlement Rate) in
respect of such date in its sole and absolute discretion, taking into consideration all available
information that in good faith it deems relevant.
“Rate Calculation Date” shall mean the second Mexican FX Day immediately preceding an interest
payment date, maturity date or redemption date, as applicable. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, if the Rate Calculation Date is not a business day, then the Rate Calculation Date shall
be the immediately preceding Mexican FX day (i.e., prior to such second Mexican FX Day) that is a
business day. “Business day” for purposes of such calculation shall mean each Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday
A-2-7
and Friday that is (i) not a day on which banking institutions in New York City or Mexico City
generally are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close and (ii) a day
on which banks and financial institutions in Mexico are open for business with the general public
(it being understood that payments will be made on the Notes only on days other than a Saturday,
Sunday or other day on which banking institutions in London are authorized or obligated by law,
regulation or executive order to close).
“Mexican FX Day” shall mean each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday that is (i)
not a day on which banking institutions or foreign exchange markets in Mexico City generally are
authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close and (ii) a day on which
banking institutions and foreign exchange markets in Mexico City are open for business with the
general public.
A Holder of the Notes may elect to receive payment of principal, interest, additional amounts
and any other amounts due in respect of the notes in Mexican Pesos. A Holder who wishes to elect
to receive a particular payment in Mexican Pesos must notify the principal paying agent no later
than the eighth day preceding the applicable payment date (but not earlier than the applicable
record date). Holders who wish to receive payments in Mexican Pesos must deliver a separate notice
of any such election with respect to each payment date. Holders who own beneficial interests in
the Global Note through accounts with Clearstream Banking or Euroclear must arrange to have such
notice given on their behalf.
Additional Amounts. All payments of amounts due in respect of the Notes by the Company will
be made without withholding or reduction 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 in or of 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 amount 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 the Notes by reason of the existence of any present or former
connection between the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes (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
A-2-8
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 Notes or the receipt of amounts due in respect thereof;
(ii) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, stamp, transfer or personal property Tax;
(iii) any Taxes that are imposed on, or withheld or deducted from, payments made to
the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes 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 Notes 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 Notes 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 the Notes at a rate in excess of a 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 a 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;
A-2-9
(v) to or on behalf of a Holder of the Notes 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 Notes would have been entitled to
Additional Amounts in respect of such Taxes on presenting such Notes for payment on any
date during such 15-day period; or
(vi) any combination of (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above (the Taxes described in
clauses (i) through (vi), 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 Secretaria de Hacienda y Credito 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 find 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 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), interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Notes, such mention
shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional
A-2-10
Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable
in respect thereof.
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
days’ 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 (calculated
on the basis of the actual number of days in each such remaining interest period and a 360-day
year) at the M Xxxx Rate (the “Make-Whole Amount”), plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest
on the principal amount of the Notes to the Redemption Date.
“M Xxxx 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 M Xxxx Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable M Xxxx Issue (expressed as a
percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable M Xxxx Price for such redemption date.
“Comparable M Xxxx Issue” means the Mexican Bonos de Desarrollo del Gobierno Federal con Tasa
de Interés Fija 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 the notes.
“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference M Xxxx Dealers appointed by the
Company.
“Comparable M Xxxx Price” means, with respect to any redemption date (1) the average of the
Reference M Xxxx Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest
such Reference M Xxxx Dealer Quotation or (2) if the Company obtains fewer than four such Reference
M Xxxx Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
“Reference M Xxxx Dealer” means (i) Casa de Bolsa Santander S.A., (ii) ING (México) S.A. de
C.V. Casa de Bolsa, (iii) BBVA Bancomer S.A., (iv) Banco Nacional de México, S.A., Institución de

“Reference M Xxxx Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference M Xxxx Dealer and
any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the
Comparable M Xxxx Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in
writing to the Company by such Reference M Xxxx Dealer at 2:30 pm Mexico City 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 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

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

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

the occurrence of a Change of Control, and consummate an Offer to Purchase for all Notes then

referred to therein at least two Business Days prior to such 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;
