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

from time to time.
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.

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

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

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. 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

governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any Security.

certain other conditions, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

Senior Exchange Notes due 2040 (hereinafter called the “Notes”), limited in aggregate principal
amount to U.S.$600,000,000 issued and to be issued under a Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture, dated
as of , 2010 (hereinafter called the “Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture”), among the Company,

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;
(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;
(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 I.3.22.8 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 I.3.22.8 (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 I.3.22.8 (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 Fourteenth
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.
Repurchase 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 45 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.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC or its 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.

(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 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.
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.

(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.
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.

LAWS OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.
