of said attorneys in fact, which provision shall be included in the powers of
attorney that are granted by the Trustee; and with the understanding,

entirety.

preserve the Trust Estate and the rights based on same.

and agents, against any claim, action, obligation, damage, loss, liability, cost
and expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that should arise from and in
relation to this Agreement or the Trust Estate, unless they should be the direct
result of the negligence, dolus, or bad faith of said persons.
TEN.- REMEDY IN THE EVENT OF LOSS CAUSED BY A FINAL COURT JUDGEMENT. The
Trustors shall be obligated and shall be responsible for remedying the loss in
the event of loss of the Trust Estate or any part of same under a final court

The Trustors hereby authorize the Trustee and the Trust Beneficiary to assign,
transfer, or otherwise transfer the rights based on this Clause Ten to any third
party assign of the Trustee or any third party that should acquire an interest
in the Trust Estate. The rights that are created by this Clause Ten shall remain
in effect for a period of six months beginning on the date on which the Trustee,
the Trust Beneficiary, or any acquiring third party, as the case may be,
acquires and receives said interest and/or the pertinent Asset Placed in Trust,
without prejudice to the provisions of Article Two Thousand One Hundred
Thirty-Nine of the Federal Civil Code and the correlative articles of the Civil

the Trustee has received a Distribution Notice from the Trust Beneficiary (i)
all JCSA's rights to exercise any Voting Rights or any other rights which it is

shall subsequently be exercised by the Trustee (in accordance with the

Trustee shall have the right to retain any and all Distributions that are
subsequently made in relation to the JCSA Shares and shall apply same to payment
of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the provisions of this

that, and at the point in time that the Trustee receives a notice (said notice
being a "Distribution Notice") from the Trust Beneficiary which certifies that a
Distribution Circumstance has occurred. Distribution Notices must be prepared
using the notice format which is attached to this Agreement and which I inserted

d).- Each Trustor expressly acknowledges that the Lenders and the Trust
Beneficiary have adopted the Credit Agreement and have granted the Credits, made
Loans and/or have issued Letters of Credit to the Borrowers in accordance with
the Credit Agreement based on, and the determining factor in its decision being,

the Trustee (each of said instructions shall be referred to as a "Suspension
Instruction"), instruct the Trustee to suspend, in part or in toto, on the date
and at the time that the Trustee receives the Suspension Instruction, the
distribution procedures initiated by the Distribution Notice in question, with
the understanding, however, that said suspension shall be void, in part or in
toto, as of the date and time
Page - 21
Xxxx Xxxxxx del Xxxxx
Federal District Notary No. 92
that the Trustee receives from the Trust Beneficiary one or several instructions
in writing (each of said instructions shall be referred to as a "Continuation

suspended distribution procedures. Each Suspension Instruction or Continuation
Instruction must be prepared according to the formats which are attached to this

and in the manner provided by Subsection (b) hereinabove, then (i) the Trustors
shall have a period of 3 (three) Business Days following the end of the
Peremptory Period to physically deliver and/or make available to the Trustee (or
the person that the latter designates on the instructions of the Trust
Beneficiary) each and every one of the Assets Placed in Trust comprising the
Trust Estate (along with a certification by each Trustor which lists,
identifies, and describes in detail each of the Assets Placed in Trust owned by
said Trustor which are part of the Trust Estate as of said date), including,
without any restriction or limitation whatsoever, the originals of all credit

Accounts Receivable that belong to them as of said date, which, to the extent
that should be legally applicable, must have their ownership duly endorsed over
to the Trustee; (ii) the Trust Beneficiary shall deliver a notice to the Trustee
(the "Possible Buyers Notice") which shall contain a list with the names or
company names, domiciles, telephone and fax numbers of the persons who have been
identified as possible buyers of the JCSA Shares (the "Possible Buyers"); and
(ii) the Trustee shall immediately proceed with the non-judicial sale of the
Trust Estate in accordance with the following provisions:
One).- With respect to the cash amounts received by the Trustee and deposited in
the Trust Account in accordance with this Agreement, the Trustee shall
immediately apply, without the requirement of prior notice, notification, or a
court order or non-judicial decision in this regard, all the amounts deposited
in the Trust Account as of said date to payment of the items in accordance with
the terms and order provided by Number Five of this Clause.
Two).- With respect to the Accounts Receivable that are part of the Trust
Estate, the Trustee shall only be required to grant one or several powers of
attorney for litigation and collection actions to the person or persons
designated in writing by the Trust Beneficiary (the "Collection Agents"),
without on that basis assuming any liability whatsoever for the actions of the
Collection Agents, which provision shall be transcribed in the document
recording the power or powers of attorney granted, and provided that the
Collection Agents agree that the costs and fees generated by their work are to
be paid to them directly by the Trustors, without the Trustee or the Trust
Beneficiary being liable for those items. All the amounts that are received from
the collection of the Accounts Receivable, shall be deposited in the Trust
Account and the Trustee shall apply them immediately and without the need for
prior notice, notification or a court order or non-judicial decision in this
regard, to payment of the items in accordance with the terms and order provided
by Number Five of this Clause.
Three).- The Trustee must follow the following procedure with respect to the
JCSA Shares:
Page - 22
Xxxx Xxxxxx del Xxxxx
Federal District Notary No. 92
A).- The Trust Estate must obtain from an authorized credit institution of
recognized prestige that is either a subsidiary of foreign banking or financial
institutions, or a subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx,
UBS Warburg, Xxxxxx Brothers, or any other financial institution of similar
prestige, including their respective successors and assigns (other than the
Trustee or the Trust Beneficiary or any company that is a successor or assign of
the Trustee or the Trust Beneficiary) that the Trust Beneficiary should indicate
in writing, a valuation of the JCSA Shares, which shall serve as the basis for
the sale of same (the "Base Price of the Shares").
B).- The Trustee shall send a notice to the Possible Buyers (the "Share Auction
Notice") for the sale of the JCSA Shares at a private auction, within 5 (five)
Business Days following the date on which the Trustee receives the Possible
Buyers Notice from the Trust Beneficiary, using for such purposes the format
which is appended to this Agreement as Appendix "I". The Share Auction Notice
must contain the location and time, which shall be determined by the written
instructions that the Trustee shall receive from the Trust Beneficiary, at which
the auction is to be held, the Base Price of the Shares, and establish that said
sale is the result of the procedure to execute the Trust Estate under the terms
of this Agreement. The Share Auction Notice must be delivered to each of the
Possible Buyers at least 15 (fifteen) Business Days in advance of the date the
private auction is to be held. The parties hereby agree that the Trust
Beneficiary (either directly or through the person or persons that the latter
shall designate) shall at all times have the preemptive right to buy the JCSA
Shares (or any portion of same). The Share Auction Notice must make mention of
the Trust Beneficiary's preemptive right in the terms provided herein, except in
the event that the Trust Beneficiary expressly waives same (with a copy to the
Trustors), in a document submitted to the Trustee. For the purposes of this
Number Three (3), the term "preemptive right" shall mean that at any point in
time prior to or during the private auction, the Trust Beneficiary (either
directly or through the person or persons that the latter shall designate) shall
have the right to buy from the Trustee the JCSA Shares (or any portion of same),
by paying the Trustee a price (i) that is equal to the Base Price of the Shares
(or, in the event that the Trust Beneficiary exercises its preemptive right to
buy a portion of the JCSA Shares, a percentage of the Base Price of the Shares
that represents the portion of the JCSA Shares to be purchased by the Trust
Beneficiary), in the event that said right is exercised prior to the auction in
question; or (ii) equal to or greater than the highest price offered by any
Possible Buyer, in the event that said right is exercised during the auction in
question, minus (x) any amounts of principal and interest, fees, commissions,
income tax , withholding, sales taxes or any other taxes and other amounts owed
and not paid to the Trust Beneficiary and/or the Lenders in relation to the
Guaranteed Obligations; (x) all the out of pocket expenses incurred by the Trust
Beneficiary in relation to this Agreement and the sale and distribution of the
Trust Estate; and (z) all the amounts owed the Trust Beneficiary under this
Agreement (the resulting amount shall be referred to as the "Outstanding
Balance"). The preemptive right granted to the Trust Beneficiary under this
paragraph may be exercised by the Trust Beneficiary (either directly or through
the person or persons that the latter shall designate) at any time prior to or
during the private auction in question, by issuing a written notice (the "Share
Exercise Notice") to the Trustee (with copy to the Trustors).
Page - 23
Xxxx Xxxxxx del Xxxxx
Federal District Notary No. 92
In the event that the Trust Beneficiary (either directly or through the person
or persons that the latter shall designate) exercises its preemptive right by
issuing a Share Exercise Notice, and the Outstanding Balance exceeds the Base
Price of the Shares (or the percentage of the Base Price of the Shares
representing the portion of the JCSA Shares to be purchased by the Trust
Beneficiary), in the event that said right is exercised prior to the auction in
question, or the highest price offered by any Possible Buyer, in the event that
said right is exercised once the auction has commenced, the JCSA Shares in
question shall be transferred to the Trust Beneficiary (or to the person or
persons that the latter designates) without any further consideration by virtue
of the offset, in the corresponding proportion, against the Outstanding Balance,
with the understanding that any remaining amount of the Outstanding Balance
shall remain due and payable in accordance with Number Five hereinafter. Subject
to the provisions of Number 4 hereinafter, any amount paid by the Trust
Beneficiary (or the person or persons that the latter designates) to the Trustee
in relation to the exercise of its preemptive right, should such be the case,
must be delivered by the Trustee to JCSA at the time that the transfer of the
JCSA Shares in question to the Trust Beneficiary (or to the person or persons
designated by the latter) is executed and completed in accordance with
applicable legislation.
C).- Likewise, the Share Auction Notice shall provide that the Possible Buyers
must deposit with the Trustee, at the minimum, an amount representing 10% (ten
percent) of the Base Price of the Shares, in certificates of deposit issued by
authorized credit institutions, at least 2 (two) Business Days prior to the date
on which the private auction is to be held (the "Share Deposit"). No bid shall
be accepted or considered valid unless the Share Deposit is made in accordance
with the terms and within the time frame provided hereinabove. The Trustee shall
complete the auction sale by transferring the JCSA Shares to the Possible Buyer
(from among the Possible buyers) that has offered the highest bid, which must in
any case be equal to or greater than the Base Price of the Shares (the "Highest
Bidder for the Shares"), subject to the Trust Beneficiary's preemptive right.
D). The Highest Bidder for the Shares must pay, in immediately available funds,
the balance of the highest bid at the time that the transfer of the JCSA Shares
is formalized, in accordance with the terms of applicable legislation. In the
event that the transfer of the JCSA Shares is not carried out due to any cause
that is attributable to the Highest Bidder for the Shares, the Highest Bidder
for the Shares shall lose the Share Deposit delivered to the Trustee in favor of
the Trust Estate. The full text of this Subsection (d) must be transcribed in
the Share Auction Notice.
E).- In the event that the Trustee does not carry out the sale of the JCSA
Shares at the first private auction, the Trustee shall deliver by hand to each
of the Possible Buyers, as well as to those other persons the Trust Beneficiary
so instructs the Trustee in writing (with copy to the Trustors), a second Share
Auction Notice for a second auction under the same terms as the first, but in
which the Base Price for the Shares shall be reduced by 10% (ten percent).
Should a sale not be executed by the Trustee at the second auction, the Base
Price for the Shares shall be subsequently reduced at each private auction by
10% (ten percent) until the JCSA Shares are sold, with the understanding,
however, that the sale price shall never be reduced by more than 50% (fifty
percent) of the Base Price for the Shares. The second or the subsequent Share
Auction Notices must be made in accordance with the provisions of Subsections
(B), (C), and (D) of this Number Three.

Four).- With respect to all those other fixed or moveable assets that are part
of the Trust Estate and which, due to their nature, are not part of or are not
included in the property and/or assets described in Numbers One, Two, and Three
hereinabove in this Clause (the "Remaining Assets"), the Trustee must follow the
following procedure:
A).- The Trustee must obtain from an authorized credit institution of recognized
prestige that is either a subsidiary of foreign banking or financial
institution, or a subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx,
UBS Warburg, Xxxxxx Brothers, or any other financial institution of similar
prestige, including their respective successors and assigns (other than the
Trustee or the Trust Beneficiary or any company that is a successor or assign of
the Trustee or the Trust Beneficiary) that the Trust Beneficiary should indicate
in writing, a valuation of the Remaining Assets, which shall serve as the basis
for the sale of same (the "Base Price of the Remaining Assets").
B).- The Trustee must publish an auction notice (the "Remaining Assets Auction
Notice") for the sale at private auction by the Remaining Assets, in at least
one large circulation newspaper in Mexico City, utilizing for such purposes the
format which is attached to this Agreement and which I inserted in the appendix
of this instrument under the letter "K". The Remaining Assets Auction Notice
must contain the location and time at which the auction is to be held, the Base
Price of the Remaining Assets, and provide that said sale is the result of the
procedure for execution of the Trust Estate under the terms of this Agreement.
The Remaining Assets Auction Notice must be published at least 15 (fifteen)
Business Days prior to the date of the private auction is held. The parties
hereby agree that the Trust Beneficiary (either directly or through the person
or persons designated by the latter) shall at all times have a preemptive right
to purchase the Remaining Assets (or any portion of same). The Remaining Assets
Auction Notice must make mention of the Trust Beneficiary's preemptive right
under the terms provided herein, except in the event that the Trust Beneficiary
expressly waives same in a document submitted to the Trustee (with copy to the
Trustors). For the purposes of this Number Four (B), the term "preemptive right"
shall mean that at any point in time prior to or during the private auction, the
Trust Beneficiary (either directly or through the person or persons that the
latter shall designate) shall have the right to buy from the Trustee the
Remaining Assets (or any portion of same), by paying the Trustee a price (i)
that is equal to the Base Price of the Remaining Assets (or, in the event that
the Trust Beneficiary exercises its preemptive right to buy a portion of the
Remaining Assets, a percentage of the Base Price of the Remaining Assets which
represents the portion of the Remaining Assets to be purchased by the Trust
Beneficiary), in the event that said right is exercised prior to the auction in
question; or (ii) equal to or greater than the highest price offered by any
participating bidder, in the event that said right is exercised during the
auction in question, minus (x) any amounts of principal and interest, fees,
commissions, income tax ,withholding, sales taxes or any other taxes and other
amounts owed and not paid to the Trust Beneficiary and/or the Lenders in
relation to the Guaranteed Obligations; (y) all the out of pocket expenses
incurred by the Trust Beneficiary in relation to this Agreement and the sale and
distribution of the Trust Estate; and (z) all the amounts owed the Trust
Beneficiary under this Agreement (the resulting amount shall be referred to as

Beneficiary under this Paragraph
Page - 25
Xxxx Xxxxxx del Xxxxx
Federal District Notary No. 92
may be exercised by the Trust Beneficiary (either directly or through the person
or persons that the latter shall designate) at any time prior to or during the
private auction in question, by issuing a written notice (the "Remaining Assets
Exercise Notice") to the Trustee (with copy to the Trustors).
In the event that the Trust Beneficiary (either directly or through the person
or persons that the latter shall designate) exercises its preemptive right by
issuing a Remaining Assets Exercise Notice, and the Outstanding Balance exceeds
the Base Price of the Remaining Assets (or the percentage of the Base Price of
the Remaining Assets representing the portion of the Remaining Assets to be
purchased by the Trust Beneficiary), in the event that said right is exercised
prior to the auction in question, or the highest price offered by any Possible
Buyer, in the event that said right is exercised once the auction has commenced,
the Remaining Assets in question shall be transferred to the Trust Beneficiary
(or to the person or persons that the latter designates) without any further
consideration by virtue of the offset, in the corresponding proportion, against
the Outstanding Balance, with the understanding that any remaining amount of the
Outstanding Balance shall remain due and payable in accordance with Number 5
hereinafter. Any amount paid by the Trust Beneficiary (or the person or persons
that the latter designates) to the Trustee in relation to the exercise of its
preemptive right, should such be the case, must be delivered by the Trustee to
the pertinent Trustors at the time that the transfer of the Remaining Assets in
question to the Trust Beneficiary (or to the person or persons designated by the
latter) is executed and completed in accordance with applicable legislation.
C).- Likewise, the Remaining Assets Auction Notice shall provide that any
interested person must deposit with the Trustee, at the minimum, an amount
representing 10% (ten percent) of the Base Price of the Remaining Assets, in
certificates of deposit issued by authorized credit institutions, at least 2
(two) Business Days prior to the date on which the private auction is to be held
(the "Remaining Assets Deposit"). No bid shall be accepted or considered valid
unless the Remaining Assets Deposit is made in accordance with the terms and
within the time frame provided hereinabove. The Trustee shall complete the
auction sale by transferring the Remaining Assets to the bidder (from among the
other bidders) that has offered the highest bid, which must in any case be equal
to or greater than the Base Price of the Remaining Assets (the "Highest Bidder
for the Remaining Assets "), subject to the Trust Beneficiary's preemptive
right.
D). The Highest Bidder for the Remaining Assets must pay, in immediately
available funds, the balance of the highest bid at the time that the transfer of
the Remaining Assets is formalized in accordance with the terms of applicable
legislation. In the event that the transfer of the Remaining Assets is not
carried out due to any cause that is attributable to the Highest Bidder for the
Remaining Assets, the Highest Bidder for the Remaining Assets shall lose the
Remaining Assets Deposit delivered to the Trustee in favor of the Trust Estate.
The full text of this Subsection (d) must be transcribed in the Remaining Assets
Auction Notice.
E).- In the event that the Trustee does not carry out the sale of the Remaining
Assets at the first private auction, it shall call a second auction under the
same terms as the first, but in which the Base Price for the Remaining Assets
shall be reduced by 10% (ten percent). Should a sale not be executed by the
Trustee at the second auction, the Base Price for the Remaining Assets shall be
subsequently reduced at each private auction by 10% (ten percent) until the
Remaining Assets are sold, with the understanding, however, that the sale price
shall never be reduced by more than 50%
Page - 26
Xxxx Xxxxxx del Xxxxx
Federal District Notary No. 92
(fifty percent) of the Base Price of the Remaining Assets. The second or the
subsequent Remaining Assets Auction Notices must be made in accordance with the
provisions of Subsections (B), (C), and (D) of this Number Four.
Five.- The proceeds from the sale of the JCSA Shares, the Remaining Assets, or
any other portion of the Trust Estate, including the cash in the Trust Account,
shall be distributed by the Trustee in the following order, unless the Trust
Beneficiary instructs it otherwise, without the need for a court order or a
decision of any other type to that effect: (A) ONE, for payment of all the fees,
costs, and expenses incurred by the Trustee in relation to this Agreement; (B)
TWO, for payment in full of the Guaranteed obligations, in accordance with the
instructions that the Trustee receives from the Trust Beneficiary, with the
understanding that all the fees, commissions, expenses, late payment interest
charges, ordinary interest and the principal amount (in that order) owed to the
Trust Beneficiary and/or to the Lenders under this Agreement, the Credit
Agreement, the Guarantee Agreement, or any other agreement, contract, document,
or instrument related to same shall be paid in full; and (C) THREE, the residue
of the Trust Estate, if any, shall be delivered to the appropriate Trustors in
their capacity as secondary trust beneficiaries.
Six. In accordance with Article Four Hundred Twelve of the Statute, if the
proceeds from the sale or transfer of the Trust Estate should be insufficient to
cover payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other amount owed to
the Trust Beneficiary, the Lenders, or the Trustee under this Agreement, the
Credit Agreement, the Guarantee Agreement, or any other agreement, contract,
document, or instrument related to same, the Trustors, under Mexican
legislation, shall be released from their obligation to pay said outstanding
balances. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the parties hereby expressly
acknowledge and agree that it is and has been at all times the intent and the
desire of the parties that each and every one of the Trustors with be liable for
performing the Guaranteed Obligations with their entire assets, for which reason
they hereby expressly and irrevocably agree that if at any point in time
subsequent to the date of the signing of this Agreement, as a result of an
amendment to the Statute or for any other reason, Article Four Hundred Twelve of
the Statute is repealed, ceases to be valid or enforceable (a "Change in the
Statute"), the first provision of this Number Six shall automatically cease to
be valid and shall be considered not to have been provided, for all appropriate
purposes and effects. Each of the Trustors hereby expressly (a) waives the right
to the effect that, prior to the effective date of a Change in the Statute, its
obligations under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, and Guarantee Agreement,
or any other agreement, contract, document, or instrument related to same, are
obligations with recovery limited to the Trust Estate; and (b) waives any right
that it might have to the effect that, even prior to a Change in the Statute,
its obligations under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee
Agreement, or any other agreement, contract, document, or instrument related to
same, are obligations with recovery limited to the Trust Estate under any
legislation other than Mexican legislation.
Seven.- Each Trustor obligates itself to carry out, or cause to be carried out,
all the acts and actions and/or initiate each and every one of the procedures
that should be necessary in order for the Trustee (acting on the instructions of
the Trust Beneficiary) to execute and transfer the
Page - 27
Xxxx Xxxxxx del Xxxxx
Federal District Notary No. 92
Trust Estate (or any portion of same) in accordance with the procedure provided
by this Clause. Each Trustor also agrees to carry out or cause to carry out all
the acts and actions that should be necessary or appropriate to expedite the
sale, assignment, or transfer of each and every part of the Trust Estate, and to
sign and deliver any documents and take any other action that the Trustee
(acting on the instructions of the Trust Beneficiary) and/or the Trust
Beneficiary should deem necessary or appropriate for the purpose of making said
sale, assignment, or transfer comply with applicable legislation.
Eight.- Due to the fact that the Guaranteed Obligations are monetary obligations
denominated in Dollars and payable outside Mexico, in order to make payment of
said Guaranteed Obligations, the amounts in Pesos that the Trustee receives
under this Agreement (A) shall be converted into Dollars by the Trustee through
a currency exchange transaction with the Mexican financial institution
designated by the Trust Beneficiary, and the currency that is obtained from said
conversion shall be distributed by the Trustee in accordance with Number Five
hereinabove; or (B) in the event that Pesos cannot be exchanged for Dollars as a
result of the establishment of currency exchange controls or any other measure
adopted by the cognizant authorities, by law or by regulation, the Trustee shall
deliver the Pesos to the Trust Beneficiary or to the person designated by the
Trust Beneficiary for such purposes and effects.
Nine.- The Trustors hereby irrevocably instruct the Trustee to, once the
procedure referred to by this Clause has been initiated, ignore any notification
or request that it receives from the parties to this Agreement other than the
notices and requests that are expressly provided for in this Clause.
THIRTEEN.- LEGAL PROHIBITIONS. In accordance with aforementioned One Hundred
Six, Section Roman Nineteen, Subsection b) of the Credit Institutions Statute,
the Trustee declares that it has explained to the Trust Beneficiary and the
Trustors the scope, purposes, and effects of said Subsection, which provides as
follows:
"Article 106.- Credit Institutions are prohibited from doing the following:
....XIX. In executing the transactions referred to by Article 46, Section XV of

provisions of the final section of Article Three Hundred Fifty-Six (presently
Article Three Hundred Ninety-One) of the General Securities and Credit
Transactions Statute, or guarantee the receipt of yields or revenues for the
funds for which it recommends investments.
If at the end of the trust, authorization, work assignment or commission
established for the purpose of the granting of credits, the latter have not been
paid off or settled by the debtors, the institution must transfer same to the
trustor or trust beneficiary, as the case may be, or to the principal, and it
shall refrain from covering the amount of same.
Any agreement that is contrary to the provisions of the two foregoing paragraphs
shall have no legal validity whatsoever ..." The Trustee's liability under this
Agreement is, in any event, limited to the value of the Trust Estate.
FOURTEEN.- TAXES AND EXPENSES.
a).- All the applicable costs, expenses, taxes, and fees assessed on the
Trust Estate
Page - 28

covers, on behalf of and by order of the Trustors (or any of the individual
Trustors), any of said fees, costs, or expenses, the Trustors obligate
themselves to immediately reimburse the Trustee and/or the Trust Beneficiary,
whichever is the case, at the time that the Trustors are requested in writing to
do so.
FIFTEEN.- Trustee Fees. As the consideration for its services under this
Agreement, the Trustors shall pay the Trustee the fees provided hereinafter,
