Closing Date and Time: March 6, 2015 (T+6), 12 p.m., London time.
Payment: The Managers will pay or cause to be paid to Mexico the Purchase Price for the Notes (being the aggregate amount payable for each Series of Notes calculated at the Issue Price for such Series of Notes, plus accrued interest on such Series of Notes, if any, from the date specified for such Series of Notes in the Pricing Supplement, less the discount for each series of Notes specified in the Pricing Supplement). Such payment shall be made in euros in immediately available funds to an account designated by Mexico.

    X     Section 9(b)(ii) of the Selling Agency Agreement

Stabilization: In connection with the offering of Notes, Barclays Bank PLC (the “Stabilizing Manager”), or any person acting on behalf of the Stabilizing Manager, may over-allot Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Notes at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, there is no assurance that the Stabilizing Manager, or any person acting on behalf of the Stabilizing Manager, will undertake stabilization action. Any stabilization action may begin on or after the date of which adequate public disclosure of the final terms of the offer of the Notes is made and, if begun, may be ended at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the Notes and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the Notes. Any stabilization action or over-allotment must be conducted by the relevant Stabilizing Manager, or any person acting on behalf of the Stabilizing Manager, in accordance with all applicable laws or rules.

(1) For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Time of Sale” means 5:42 p.m., London time, on February 26, 2015. The prospectus dated November 10, 2014 (the “Basic Prospectus”), as amended and supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated November 17, 2014 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) and as further amended and supplemented by the preliminary pricing supplement dated February 26, 2015, is hereinafter called the “Pricing Prospectus” and the Basic Prospectus, as amended and supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement and the final pricing supplement dated February 26, 2015, as filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus.” The Pricing Prospectus, considered together with each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed in Exhibit A hereto, as of the Time of Sale (collectively, the “Time of Sale Information”), does not or will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed in Exhibit A hereto did not or will not conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus; provided, however, that the representations and warranties in this paragraph (1) shall not apply to statements in or omissions from any such document made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to Mexico by the Managers expressly for use therein.

 

(2) (i) At the earliest time after the filing of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post- effective amendment thereto) that Mexico or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) under the Securities Act) and (ii) as of the date hereof, Mexico was not and is not an “ineligible issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), without taking into account any determination by the Commission pursuant to Rule 405 that it is not necessary that Mexico be considered an “ineligible issuer.”

 

3


(3) Exhibit A hereto is a complete list of any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses relating to the Notes for which Mexico has received the consent of the Managers.
Other Provisions: None.

The execution of this Agreement on behalf of all parties hereto will constitute acceptance by each Manager of the ICMA Agreement Among Managers New York Version 1.

Section 15 of the Selling Agency Agreement (relating to the submission to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York by the parties thereto) is incorporated by reference herein, except that all references therein to “this Agreement” shall be deemed references to this Terms Agreement.

In addition, Mexico acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the purchase and sale of the Notes pursuant to this Terms Agreement, including the determination of the offering price of the Notes and the underwriting discount, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between Mexico, on the one hand, and the Managers, on the other hand, and Mexico is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Terms Agreement; (ii) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Manager is, has been, and will be acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor or fiduciary of Mexico, or its affiliates, creditors or employees or any other party; (iii) no Manager has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of Mexico with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Manager has advised or is currently advising Mexico on other matters); and (iv) the Managers and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Mexico, and the Managers have no obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory or fiduciary relationship.

 

4


This Terms Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between Mexico and the Managers, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Mexico hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that Mexico may have against the Managers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of fiduciary duty relating to the transactions contemplated by this Terms Agreement.

THIS TERMS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, EXCEPT THAT ALL MATTERS GOVERNING AUTHORIZATION AND EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT BY MEXICO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF MEXICO.

 

5
