(iv) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(v) All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be DTC or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through DTC subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC. The Trustee may rely

and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by DTC with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

Section 2.9 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.

(a) If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall execute and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met and the Holder satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an affidavit of loss and indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-Registrar from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced, and, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for any such mutilated Note or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding.

(c) Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.9 in exchange for any mutilated Note, or in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor and any other obligor upon the Notes, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.10 Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may execute and upon Company Order the Trustee will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company will prepare and execute and upon Company Order the Trustee will authenticate definitive Notes. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes will be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at any office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose and such exchange shall be without charge to the Holder.

Until so exchanged, the Holder of temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as a Holder of definitive Notes.

Section 2.11 Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and dispose of cancelled Notes in accordance with its policy of disposal or return to the Company all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for any reason other than in connection with a transfer or exchange upon Company Order.

Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest. When any installment of interest becomes Defaulted Interest, such installment shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders in whose names the Notes were registered on the Record Date applicable to such installment of interest. Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) may be paid by the Company, at its election, as provided in Section 2.12(a) or (b).

(a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) to the Holders in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest (a “Special Record Date”), which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this Section 2.12(a). Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be not more than 15 calendar days and not less than ten calendar days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than ten calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be sent, first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder at such Holder’s address as it appears in the registration books of the Registrar, not less than ten calendar days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Holders in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to Section 2.12(b).

(b) Alternatively, the Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) 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, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Section 2.12(b), such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Section 2.13 Additional Notes. The Company may, from time to time, subject to compliance with any other applicable provisions of this Indenture, without the consent of the Holders, create and issue pursuant to this Indenture Additional Notes having terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit A identical to those of the other Outstanding Notes, except that Additional Notes:

(i) may have a different issue date from other Outstanding Notes;

(ii) may have a different amount of interest payable on the first Interest Payment Date after issuance than is payable on other Outstanding Notes;

(iii) may have terms specified in the Additional Note Board Resolution or Additional Note Supplemental Indenture for such Additional Notes making appropriate adjustments to this Article II and Exhibit A (and related definitions) applicable to such Additional Notes in order to conform to and ensure compliance with the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws) and any registration rights or similar agreement applicable to such Additional Notes, which are not adverse in any material respect to the Holder of any Outstanding Notes (other than such Additional Notes); and

(iv) may be entitled to liquidated damages as provided in Section 2.14 not applicable to other Outstanding Notes and may not be entitled to such liquidated damages applicable to other Outstanding Notes.

provided, that no adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall cause such Additional Notes to constitute, a different class of securities than the Issue Date Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes except for Additional Notes that have a separate CUSIP number from other Outstanding Notes.

Section 2.14 Liquidated Damages Under Registration Rights Agreements. Under certain circumstances, the Company may be obligated to pay liquidated damages to Holders, all as and to the extent set forth in the Issue Date Registration Rights Agreement or any Registration Rights Agreement applicable to Additional Notes. The terms thereof are hereby incorporated herein by reference and such liquidated damages are deemed to be interest for purposes of this Indenture.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may elect to make the payments of interest by check mailed to the registered Holders at their registered addresses.

(2) If a Holder of US$10.0 million or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes has given wire transfer instructions to the Company at least 10 Business Days prior to the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, the Company shall make all principal, premium and interest payments on those Notes in accordance with such instructions.

(b) The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or outside of The City of New York) where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind any such designation; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in The City of New York or, so long as the Notes are listed on the Euro MTF, the alternative market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, in Luxembourg, for such purposes. The

Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

Section 3.5 Compliance Certificate.

The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee within 105 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company an Officers’ Certificate that complies with TIA § 314(a)(4) stating that in the course of the performance by the signers of their duties as Officers of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, they would normally have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default and whether or not the signers know of any Default or Event of Default that occurred during the previous fiscal year. If they do, the certificate shall describe the Default or Event of Default, its status and what action the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors also shall comply with any other applicable requirements of TIA § 314(a)(4).

Section 3.7 Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor covenants (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture. The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby expressly waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall be required, if requested by any Holders, to purchase all or a portion (in integral multiples of US$1,000) of the Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).

(c) If only a portion of a Note is purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, a new Note in a principal amount equal to the portion thereof not purchased shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note (or appropriate adjustments to the amount and beneficial interests in a Global Note will be made, as appropriate).

(d) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if:

(y) in the event that at any time any such Indebtedness ceases to be held by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, such Indebtedness shall be deemed to be Incurred and not permitted by this clause (6) at the time such event occurs;

(7) Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently (including daylight overdrafts paid in full by the close of business on the day such overdraft was Incurred) drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided, that such Indebtedness is extinguished within five business days of Incurrence;

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.9, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur under this Section 3.9 shall not be deemed to be exceeded as a result solely of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

Section 3.10 Limitation on Guarantees. The Company shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor to Guarantee any Indebtedness of the Company or to secure any Indebtedness of the Company with a Lien on the assets of such Restricted Subsidiary, unless contemporaneously therewith (or prior thereto) effective provision is made to Guarantee or secure the Notes on an equal and ratable basis with such Guarantee or Lien for so long as such Guarantee or Lien remains effective, and in an amount equal to the amount of Indebtedness so Guaranteed or secured. Any Guarantee by any such Restricted Subsidiary of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company will be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the contemporaneous Guarantee of the Notes by such Restricted Subsidiary.

(y) Refinancing Indebtedness for such Subordinated Indebtedness;

provided, that the value of any Qualified Capital Stock issued in exchange for Subordinated Indebtedness and any net proceeds referred to above shall be excluded from Section 3.11(a)(C)(ii) above (and were not included therein at any time);

(4) if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, repurchases by the Company of Common Stock of the Company or options, warrants or other securities exercisable or convertible into Common Stock of the Company from any current or former employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their authorized representatives upon the death, disability or termination of employment or directorship of such employees, officers or directors, or the termination of retention of any such consultants, in an amount not to exceed US$5 million in any calendar year (with unused amounts in any calendar year being permitted to be carried over into succeeding calendar years) plus the cash proceeds of key man life insurance policies received by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(5) the repurchase of Capital Stock deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options or warrants to the extent such Capital Stock represents a portion of the exercise price of those stock options or warrants;

Section 3.12 Limitation on Asset Sales and Sales of Subsidiary Stock.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(1) the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Capital Stock sold or otherwise disposed of, and

(2) at least 75% of the consideration received for the assets or Capital Stock sold by the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in the Asset Sale shall be in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents received at the time of such Asset Sale; provided that each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

(x) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within 120 days of the receipt thereof (subject to ordinary settlement periods), to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion; and

(y) any Capital Stock of a Person engaged in a Permitted Business that will become, upon purchase, a Restricted Subsidiary or assets (other than current assets as determined in accordance with GAAP or Capital Stock) to be used by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in a Permitted Business;

provided, that amounts received pursuant to clauses (x) and (y) shall not be deemed to constitute Net Cash Proceeds for purposes of making an Asset Sale Offer.

(b) The Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may apply the Net Cash Proceeds of any such Asset Sale within 365 days thereof to:

(1) repay any Senior Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor (including, in each case without limitation, Capital Lease Obligations), or

(2) make capital expenditures in a Permitted Business, or

(3) to purchase

(x) assets (other than current assets as determined in accordance with GAAP or Capital Stock) to be used by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in a Permitted Business, or

(y) all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, a Person engaged in a Permitted Business if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary,

from a Person other than the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries;

provided that in the cases of clauses (x) and (y) the Company will have complied with its obligations if it enters into a binding commitment to acquire such assets or such Capital Stock within 365 days after receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided further that such binding commitment shall be subject only to customary conditions and that such acquisition is consummated within six months from the date of signing such binding commitment.

(c) To the extent all or a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale are not applied within the 365 days of the Asset Sale as described in Section 3.12(b)(1), (2) and (3), the Company shall make an offer to purchase Notes (the “Asset Sale Offer”), at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the date of purchase (the “Asset Sale Offer Amount”). The Company shall purchase pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer from all tendering Holders on a pro rata basis, and, at the Company’s option, on a pro rata basis with the holders of any other Senior Indebtedness with similar provisions requiring the Company to offer to purchase the other Senior Indebtedness with the proceeds of Asset Sales, that principal amount (or accreted value in the case of Indebtedness issued with original issue discount) of Notes and the other Senior Indebtedness to be purchased equal to such unapplied Net Cash Proceeds. The Company may satisfy its obligations under this Section 3.12 with respect to the Net Cash Proceeds of an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer prior to the expiration of the relevant 365-day period.

(d) The purchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer shall occur on a date not less than 20 business days following the date thereof, or any longer period as may be required by law, nor more than 45 days following the 365th day following the Asset Sale. The Company may, however, defer an Asset Sale Offer until there is an aggregate amount of unapplied Net Cash Proceeds from one or more Asset Sales equal to or in excess of US$15 million. At that time, the entire amount of unapplied Net Cash Proceeds, and not just the amount in excess of US$15 million, shall be applied as required pursuant to this Section 3.12. Pending application in accordance with this Section 3.12, Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied to temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings that can be reborrowed or Invested in Cash Equivalents.

(e) Upon receiving the Asset Sale Offer Notice, Holders may elect to tender their Notes in whole or in part in integral multiples of US$1,000 in exchange for cash.

(f) On the Asset Sale Offer Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer;

(2) deposit with the Paying Agent funds in an amount equal to the Asset Sale Offer Amount in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and

(g) To the extent Holders of Notes and holders of other Senior Indebtedness, if any, which are the subject of an Asset Sale Offer properly tender and do not withdraw Notes or the other Senior Indebtedness in an aggregate amount exceeding the amount of unapplied Net Cash Proceeds, the Company shall purchase the Notes and the other Senior Indebtedness on a pro rata basis (based on amounts tendered). If only a portion of a Note is purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer, a new Note in a principal amount equal to the portion thereof not purchased will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note (or appropriate adjustments to the amount and beneficial interests in a global note will be made, as appropriate). Notes (or portions thereof) purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer shall be cancelled and cannot be reissued.

(h) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any applicable securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 3.12, the Company shall comply with those laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 3.12 by doing so.

(i) Upon completion of an Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Net Cash Proceeds will be reset at zero. Accordingly, to the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and other Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the aggregate amount of unapplied Net Cash Proceeds, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may use any remaining Net Cash Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited hereby.

(j) In the event of the transfer of substantially all (but not all) of the property and assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as an entirety to a Person in a transaction permitted under Section 4.1, the Surviving Entity shall be deemed to have sold the properties and assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries not so transferred for purposes of this Section 3.12, and shall comply with the provisions of this covenant with respect to the deemed sale as if it were an Asset Sale. In addition, the Fair Market Value of properties and assets of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries so deemed to be sold shall be deemed to be Net Cash Proceeds for purposes of this Section 3.12.

(k) If at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any non-cash consideration), the conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this Section 3.12 within 365 days of conversion or disposition.

Section 3.13 Limitation on Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(a) The Company may designate after the Issue Date any Subsidiary of the Company as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” under this Indenture (a “Designation”) only if:

(1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such Designation and any transactions between the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and such Unrestricted Subsidiary are in compliance with Section 3.17;

(2) at the time of and after giving effect to such Designation, the Company could Incur US$1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 3.9(a);

(4) at the time of such Designation, neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary will:

(1) provide credit support for, subject any of its property or assets (other than the Capital Stock of any Unrestricted Subsidiary) to the satisfaction of, or Guarantee, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary (including any undertaking, agreement or instrument evidencing such Indebtedness);

(2) be directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary; or

(3) be directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness which provides that the holder thereof may (upon notice, lapse of time or both) declare a default thereon or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or

payable prior to its final scheduled maturity upon the occurrence of a default with respect to any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary, except for any non-recourse Guarantee given solely to support the pledge by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary.

(b) The Company may revoke any Designation of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (a “Revocation”) only if:

(1) No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of and after giving effect to such Revocation; and

(2) all Liens and Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary outstanding immediately following such Revocation would, if Incurred at such time, have been permitted to be Incurred for all purposes of this Indenture.

(c) The Designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to include the Designation of all of the Subsidiaries of such Subsidiary. All Designations and Revocations must be evidenced by resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company, delivered to the Trustee certifying compliance with the preceding provisions.

Section 3.15 Limitation on Layered Indebtedness. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness that is subordinate in right of payment to any other Senior Indebtedness, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinate in right of payment to the Notes or, in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, its Note Guarantee to the same extent and on the same terms as such Indebtedness is subordinate to such other Indebtedness.

Section 3.16 Limitation on Liens.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Liens of any kind (except for Permitted Liens) against or upon any of their respective properties or assets, whether owned on the Issue Date or acquired after the Issue Date, or any proceeds therefrom, to secure any Indebtedness or trade payables unless contemporaneously therewith effective provision is made:

(1) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are no less favorable than those that could reasonably be expected to be obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company;

(2) in the event that such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments, or transfers of property or services with a Fair Market Value, in excess of US$5 million, the terms of such Affiliate Transaction will be approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company (including a majority of the disinterested members thereof), the approval to be evidenced by a Board Resolution stating that the Board of Directors has determined that such transaction complies with the preceding provisions; and

Section 3.19 Reports to Holders.

(a) Notwithstanding that the Company may not be required to file with the SEC information, documents, or reports pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it shall:

(i) file with the SEC (with a copy to the Trustee), to the extent permitted,

(A) annual reports on Form 20-F (or any successor form) containing the information required to be contained therein (or such successor form) within the time period required under the rules of the SEC for the filing of Form 20-F (or any successor form) by foreign private issuers subject thereto, and

(B) reports on Form 6-K (or any successor form) including, whether or not required, unaudited quarterly financial statements (which shall include at least a balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement in each case prepared in accordance with Mexican GAAP) along with other financial information and a discussion of results in each case with a substantially similar level of information in all material respects as provided by the Company in its Form 6-K for the second quarter of 2005, within 45 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, and

(ii) to the extent not filed with the SEC provide the Trustee and the holders with the information, documents and reports referred to in clause (i) above within the periods specified above.

(iii) transmit within 30 days after the filing thereof with the Trustee, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, such summaries of any information, documents and reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section as may be required by rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission.

(b) At any time when the Company is not subject to or is not current in its reporting obligations under Section 3.19(a)(i), the Company shall make available, upon request, to any holder and any prospective purchaser of Notes the information required pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

(c) So long as the Notes are listed on Euro MTF, the alternative market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, the Company shall make available the information specified in Section 3.19(b) at the specified office of the Luxembourg paying agent for the Notes.

Section 3.20 Listing.

(a) In the event that the Notes are listed on Euro MTF, the alternative market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain such listing; provided that if, as a result of the European Union regulated market amended Directive 2001/34/EC (the “Transparency Directive”) or any legislation implementing the Transparency Directive the Company could be required to publish financial information either more regularly than it otherwise would be required to or according to accounting principles which are materially different from the accounting principles which the Company would otherwise use to prepare its published financial information, the Company may delist the Notes from the Euro MTF in accordance with the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and seek an alternative admission to listing, trading and/or quotation for the Note on a different section of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or by such other listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system inside or outside the European Union as the Company may reasonably decide.

(b) From and after the date the Notes are listed on the Euro MTF, the alternative market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, and so long as it is required by the rules of such exchange, all notices to the Holders will be published in English in accordance with Section 11.2(b).

Section 3.21 Payment of Additional Amounts.

(a) The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall pay to holders of the Notes all additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) that may be necessary so that every net payment of interest (including any premium paid upon redemption of the Notes) or principal to the Holder shall not be less than the amount provided for in the Notes. The term “net payment” means the amount the Company or its paying agent pay the Holder after deducting or withholding an amount for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges (“Taxes”) imposed with respect to that payment by a Mexican taxing authority (“Taxing Authority”).

(b) The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall not pay additional amounts to any Holder for or solely on account of any of the following:

(1) any taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges imposed solely because at any time there is or was a connection between the Holder or beneficial owner of the Note and Mexico (or any political subdivision or territory or possession thereof), including such Holder or beneficial owner (i) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof, (ii) maintaining or having maintained an office, permanent establishment, or branch subject to taxation therein, or (iii) being or having been present or engaged in a trade or business therein (other than the mere receipt of a payment or the ownership or holding of a Note),

(2) any estate, inheritance, gift, transfer or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed with respect to the Notes,

(3) any taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges imposed solely because the Holder or any other person fails 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) of the Holder or any beneficial owner of the Note, if compliance is required by statute, regulation, officially published administrative practice of the taxing jurisdiction or by an applicable income tax treaty, which is in effect to which Mexico is a party, as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, the tax, assessment or other governmental charge and we have given the

Holders at least 30 days’ notice that Holders will be required to provide such information and identification;

(4) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments on the Notes,

(5) any taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges with respect to such Note presented for payment more than 30 days after the date on which the 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 holders of such Note would have been entitled to such additional amounts on presenting such Note for payment on any date during such 30 day period, and

(6) any payment on the Note to a Holder that is a fiduciary or partnership or a person other than the sole beneficial owner of any such payment, to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such a partnership or the beneficial owner of the payment would not have been entitled to the additional amounts had the beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the holder of the Note.

(c) (1) The limitations on the Company’s and Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations to pay Additional Amounts set forth in Section 3.21(b)(3) above shall not apply:

(i) if the provision of information, documentation or other evidence described in such Section 3.21(b)(3) 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, regulation or administrative practice, than comparable information or other reporting requirements imposed under U.S. tax law (including the United States-Mexico income tax treaty), regulation (including proposed regulations) and administrative practice.

(ii) unless (A) the provision of the information, documentation or other evidence described in such Section 3.21(b)(3) becomes expressly required by the applicable Mexican statutes, regulations and administrative practices, and (B) the Company otherwise would not meet the requirements for application of the reduced Mexican tax rate.

(iii) if the provisions of Article 195, Section II, subsection a) of the Mexican Income Tax Law (or a substitute equivalent provision) would apply.

(2) In addition, such Section 3.21(b)(3) does not require, and shall not be construed to require that any person, including any non-Mexican pension fund, retirement fund or financial institution, register with the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit to establish eligibility for an exemption from, or a reduction of, Mexican withholding tax.

(d) Upon request, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall provide the Trustee with documentation satisfactory to the Trustee evidencing the payment of Mexican taxes in respect of which we have paid any Additional Amount. The Company shall make copies of such documentation available to the Holders of the Notes or the Paying Agent upon request.

(e) In the event that Additional Amounts actually paid with respect to the Notes pursuant to this Section 3.21 are based on rates of deduction or withholding of withholding taxes in excess of the appropriate rate applicable to the Holder of such Notes, and as a result thereof such Holder is entitled to make a claim for a refund or credit of such excess from the authority imposing such withholding tax, then such Holder shall, by accepting such Notes, be deemed to have assigned and transferred all right, title and interest to any such claim for a refund or credit of such excess to the Company. However, by making such assignment, the Holder makes no

representation or warranty that the Company will be entitled to receive such claim for a refund or credit and incurs no other obligation with respect thereto.

(f) In the event of any merger or other transaction described and permitted under Section 4.1, then all references to Mexico, Mexican law or regulations, and Mexican taxing authorities under this Section 3.21 (other than Section 3.21(c)(1)) and under Article V and Section 5 of Exhibit A shall be deemed to also include the United States and any political subdivision therein or thereof, United States law or regulations, and any taxing authority of the United States or any political subdivision therein or thereof, respectively.

Section 3.22 Suspension of Covenants.

(a) During any period of time that (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to Sections 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, 3.15, 3.17, 3.18 and 4.1(a)(2) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”).

(b) In the event that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one of the Rating Agencies withdraws its Investment Grade Rating or downgrades its rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.” Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period (or upon termination of the Suspension Period or after that time based solely on events that occurred during the Suspension Period).

(c) On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred pursuant to Section 3.9(a) or Section 3.9(b) (to the extent such Indebtedness would be permitted to be incurred thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness incurred prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Indebtedness would not be so permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 3.9(a) or Section 3.9(b), such Indebtedness will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 3.9(b)(4). Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 3.11 will be made as though Section 3.11 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period.

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the assumption contemplated by Section (a)(1)(ii)(B) of this Section 4.1 (including giving effect on a pro forma basis to any Indebtedness, including any Acquired Indebtedness, Incurred or anticipated to be Incurred in connection with or in respect of such transaction), the Company or such Surviving Entity, as the case may be:

(i) will be able to Incur at least US$1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 3.9(a), or

(ii) will have a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction;

(B) any merger of a Restricted Subsidiary into the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor; or

(C) any merger of the Company into a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company created for the purpose of holding the Capital Stock of the Company;

so long as, in each case the Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole is not increased thereby.

(3) immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the assumption contemplated by Section (a)(1)(ii)(B) of this Section 4.1 (including, without limitation, giving effect on a pro forma basis to any Indebtedness, including any Acquired Indebtedness, Incurred or anticipated to be Incurred and any Lien granted in connection with or in respect of the transaction), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing;

(4) each Subsidiary Guarantor (including Persons that become Subsidiary Guarantors as a result of the transaction) has confirmed by supplemental indenture that its Note Guarantee will apply for the Obligations of the Surviving Entity in respect of this Indenture and the Notes;

(i) the holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. or Mexican income tax purposes as a result of the transaction and will be taxed in the holder’s home jurisdiction in the same manner and on the same amounts (assuming solely for this purpose that no Additional Amounts are regarded to be paid on the Notes) and at the same times as would have been the case if the transaction had not occurred,

(b) For purposes of this Section 4.1, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise, in a single transaction or series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of one or more Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company, the Capital Stock of which constitutes all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company (determined on a consolidated basis for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries), shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company.

(c) Upon any consolidation, combination or merger or any transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in accordance with this Section 4.1, in which the Company is not the continuing corporation, the Surviving Entity formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such conveyance, lease or transfer is made will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture and the Notes with the same effect as if such Surviving Entity had been named as such. For the avoidance of doubt, compliance with this Section 4.1 will not affect the obligations of the Company (including a Surviving Entity, if applicable) under Section 3.8, if applicable.

(d) Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall not, and the Company shall not cause or permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, consolidate with or merge into, or sell or dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, any Person (other than the Company) that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor unless:

(5) default by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary under any Indebtedness which:

(1) is caused by a failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of any applicable grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default; or

(2) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its stated maturity;

and the principal or accreted amount of Indebtedness covered by (i) or (ii) at the relevant time, aggregates US$15 million or more;

(8) except as permitted herein, any Note Guarantee is held to be unenforceable or invalid in a judicial proceeding or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Subsidiary Guarantor, denies or disaffirms such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under its Note Guarantee.

(b) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default written notice of events which would constitute such Default or Event of Default, their status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof.

Section 6.2 Acceleration.

(a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(7) above with respect to the Company) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in

principal amount of outstanding Notes may declare the unpaid principal of (and premium, if any) and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes to be immediately due and payable by notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee specifying the Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration.” If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(7) above occurs with respect to the Company, then the unpaid principal of (and premium, if any) and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

(b) At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes as described in Section 6.2(a), the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences:

(1) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;

(2) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived, except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration;

(3) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; and

Section 6.3 Other Remedies.

(a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

(b) The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

(4) the Trustee does not comply within 60 days; and

provided, that a Holder of a Note may institute suit for enforcement of payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note.

Section 6.7 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof (including, without limitation, Section 6.6), the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of or interest on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates, Redemption Dates or repurchase date expressed herein or the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.8 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(1) and Section 6.1(a)(2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor for the whole amount then due and owing (together with applicable interest on any overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest on overdue interest) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.7. Subject to all provisions hereof and applicable law, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee.

Section 6.9 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim, etc.

(a) The Trustee may (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes is then due):

Any receiver, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, taxes, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.7.

(b) Nothing in this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10 Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article VI, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

ARTICLE VII

TRUSTEE

Section 7.1 Duties of Trustee.

(a) If a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

(b) Except during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default:

(1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

Section 7.2 Rights of Trustee. Subject to Section 7.1:

(a) The Trustee may rely on any document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

(h) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

(i) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

Section 7.3 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors or any of their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Section 7.10 and Section 7.11.

Section 7.4 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

Section 7.5 Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is a payment default or a Trust Officer has actual knowledge thereof, or has received written notice thereof pursuant to 7.3(g) above the Trustee shall mail to each Holder notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after the occurrence thereof. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as its Trust Officer in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Section 7.6 Reports by Trustee to Holders. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 313. The Company agrees to notify promptly the Trustee whenever the Notes become listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof.

Section 7.7 Compensation and Indemnity.

(a) The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of White & Case, the Trustee’s counsel, incurred in the review, negotiation and delivery of this Indenture and related documentation, and in connection with any amendments or supplements hereto. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, costs of preparing and reviewing reports, certificates and other documents, costs of preparation and mailing of notices to Holders and reasonable fees and

expenses of counsel retained by the Trustee, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts.

(b) The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part in connection with the acceptance and administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture (including this Section 7.7) and of defending itself against any claims (whether asserted by any Holder, the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise). The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes the Trustee’s defense, and, in the reasonable judgment of outside counsel to the Trustee, there is no conflict of interest between the Company and the Trustee in connection with such defense. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, as determined by a competent court of appropriate jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment.

(c) To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.7, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes. The Trustee’s right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 7.7 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or Indebtedness of the Company.

(d) The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Law Event of Default, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law; provided, however, that this shall not affect the Trustee’s rights as set forth in this Section 7.7 or Section 6.10.

Section 7.8 Replacement of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee reasonably acceptable to the Company. The Company shall remove the Trustee if:

(1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

(2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 10.1 Note Guarantees.

(a) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, jointly and severally with each other Subsidiary Guarantor, to each Holder and the Trustee the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of the Obligations (such guaranteed Obligations, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees (to the extent permitted by law) that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound under this Article X notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees to pay, in addition to the amounts stated above, any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under any Note Guarantee.

(b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Obligations. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (iv) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Obligations or any of them; (v) the failure of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy against any other Subsidiary Guarantor; or (vi) any change in the ownership of the Company.

(c) Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder to any security held for payment of the Obligations.

(d) Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors further expressly waives irrevocably and unconditionally:

(i) Any right it may have to first require any Holder to proceed against, initiate any actions before a court of law or any other judge or authority, or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from the Company or any other Person (including any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other guarantor) before claiming from it under this Indenture;

(ii) Any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets of the Company or any other Person (including any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other guarantor) first be used, applied or depleted as payment of the Company’s or the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations hereunder, prior to any amount being claimed from or paid by any of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder;

(iii) Any right to which it may be entitled to have claims hereunder divided between the Subsidiary Guarantors;

(iv) To the extent applicable, the benefits of orden, excusión, division, quita and espera and any right specified in articles 2814, 2815, 2817, 2818, 2819, 2820, 2821, 2822, 2823, 2826, 2837, 2838, 2839, 2840, 2845, 2846, 2847 and any other related or applicable articles that are not explicitly set forth herein because of Subsidiary Guarantor’s knowledge thereof of the Código Civil Federal of Mexico, and the Código Civil of each State of the Mexican Republic and the Federal District of Mexico.

The obligations assumed by each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by the absence of judicial request of payment by a Holder to the Company or by whether any such person takes timely action pursuant to articles 2848 and 2849 of the Código Civil Federal of Mexico and the Código Civil of each State of the Mexican Republic and the Federal District of Mexico and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby expressly waives the provisions of such articles.

(e) The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Obligations in full),

including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Subsidiary Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

(f) Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

(g) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder has at law or in equity against each Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay any of the Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders an amount equal to the sum of:

(i) the unpaid amount of such Obligations then due and owing; and

(ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law).

(h) Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Subsidiary Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand:

(i) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Note Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby; and

(ii) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Obligations, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Subsidiary Guarantor for the purposes of its Note Guarantee.

Section 11.14 Currency Indemnity

(a) U.S. Legal Tender is the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under or in connection with the Notes or this Indenture, including damages. Any amount received or recovered in currency other than U.S. Legal Tender (whether as a result of, or of the enforcement of, a judgment or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the winding-up or dissolution of the Company, any Subsidiary or otherwise) by any Holder of the Notes in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall only constitute a discharge of them under the Notes and this Indenture only to the extent of the U.S. Legal Tender amount which the recipient is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in that other currency on the date of that receipt or recovery (or, if it is not practicable to make that purchase on that date, on the first date on which it is practicable to do so). If that U.S. Legal Tender amount is less than the U.S. Legal Tender amount expressed to be due to the recipient under the Notes or this Indenture, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the recipient against any loss sustained by it in making any such purchase. In any event, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify the Holder against the cost of making any purchase of U.S. Legal Tender. For the purposes of this Section 11.14, it will be sufficient for the Holder of a Note to certify in a satisfactory manner that it would have suffered a loss had an actual purchase of U.S. Legal Tender been made with the amount received in that other currency on the date of receipt or recovery (or, if a purchase of U.S. Legal Tender on such date had not been practicable, on the first date on which it would have been practicable) and that the change of the purchase date was needed.

(b) The indemnities of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors contained in this Section 11.14, to the extent permitted by law: (i) constitute a separate and independent obligation from the other obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Indenture and the Notes; (ii) shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action against the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors; (iii) shall apply irrespective of

Indenture

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Indenture to be duly executed as of the date first written above.

FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE

7.5% Senior Guaranteed Notes due September 28, 2015

1. Interest

Desarrolladora Homex, S.A. de C.V., a corporation (sociedad anónima de capital variable) (and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above.

The Company will pay interest semiannually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date of each year commencing March 28, 2006. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on the Notes or, if no interest has been paid, from September 28, 2005. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal (plus interest on such interest to the extent lawful), at the rate borne by the Notes to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and, to the extent such payments are lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest (“Defaulted Interest”) without regard to any applicable grace periods at the rate shown on this Note, as provided in the Indenture.

All payments made by the Company in respect of the Notes will be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Taxing Authority, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. In that event, the Company will pay to each Holder of the Notes Additional Amounts as provided in the Indenture subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture.

2. Method of Payment

Prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the date on which any principal of or interest on any Note is due and payable, the Company shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay such principal and/or interest. The Company will pay interest (except Defaulted Interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Interest Payment Date even if Notes are canceled, repurchased or redeemed after the Record Date and on or before the relevant Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in U.S. Legal Tender.

Payments in respect of Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal and interest) will be made by the transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by DTC. The Company will make all payments in respect of a Certificated Note (including principal and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on the Notes may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least US$1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 15 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

3. Paying Agent and Registrar

Initially, The Bank of New York (the “Trustee”), will act as Trustee, Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar.

(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points (the “Make-Whole Amount”), plus in each case accrued interest on the principal amount of the Notes to the date of redemption.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual 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 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 Trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means Credit Suisse First Boston LLC or its affiliates which are primary United States government securities dealers and not less than 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 therefor 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 Trustee, of the bid and asked price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 pm New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

Optional Redemption upon Equity Offerings. At any time, or from time to time, on or prior to September 28, 2008 the Company may, at its option, use the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings to redeem in the aggregate up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture at a redemption price equal to 107.50% of the principal amount thereof; provided, that:

(1) after giving effect to any such redemption at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture remains outstanding; and

(2) the Company shall make such redemption not more than 90 days after the consummation of such Equity Offering.

“Equity Offering” means (i) an underwritten public offering of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company pursuant to a registration statement (other than a registration statement filed on Form S-4 or S-8) filed with the SEC in accordance with the Securities Act or in accordance with applicable Mexican laws, rules and regulations, (ii) a rights offering of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company made generally to the holders of such Qualified Capital Stock or (iii) any private placement of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company to any Person, in each case other than issuances upon exercise of options by employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Optional Redemption for Changes in Withholding Taxes. If, as a result of any amendment to, or change in, the laws (or any rules or regulations thereunder) of Mexico or any political subdivision or taxing authority or other instrumentality thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any amendment to or change in an official

interpretation or application of such laws, rules or regulations, which amendment to or change of such laws, rules or regulations becomes effective on or after the date on which the Notes we are offering are issued (which, in the case of a merger, consolidation or other transaction permitted and described under Section 4.1 of the Indenture, shall be treated for this purpose as the date of such transaction), we have become obligated, or will become obligated, in each case after taking all reasonable measures to avoid this requirement, to pay additional amounts in excess of those attributable to a Mexican withholding tax rate of 10% with respect to the Notes, then, at our option, all, but not less than all, of the Notes may be redeemed at any time on giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and any additional amounts due thereon up to but not including the date of redemption; provided, however, that (1) no notice of redemption for tax reasons may be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which we would be obligated to pay these additional amounts if a payment on the Notes were then due and (2) at the time such notice of redemption is given such obligation to pay such additional amounts remains in effect.

Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this provision, the Company will deliver to the Trustee:

• a certificate signed by one of the Company’s duly authorized representatives stating that the Company is entitled to effect the redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the Company’s right to redeem have occurred, and

• an opinion of Mexican legal counsel (which may be the Company’s counsel) of recognized standing to the effect that the Company has or will become obligated to pay such additional amounts as a result of such change or amendment.

This notice, once delivered by the Company to the Trustee, will be irrevocable.

The Company will give notice to DTC pursuant to Section 5.3 of any redemption the Company proposes to make at least 30 days (but not more than 60 days) before the redemption date.

Optional Redemption Procedures. In the event that less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, selection of Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not then listed on a national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by any other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (subject to the procedures of DTC). If a partial redemption is made with the proceeds of an Equity Offering, selection of the Notes or portions thereof for redemption will, subject to the preceding sentence, be made by the Trustee only on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to the procedures of DTC), unless the method is otherwise prohibited. No Notes of a principal amount of US$1,000 or less may be redeemed in part and Notes of a principal amount in excess of US$1,000 may be redeemed in part in multiples of US$1,000 only.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. If Notes are to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. For so long as the Notes are listed on Euro MTF, the alternative market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, the Company will cause notices of redemption also to be published as provided under Section 11.2. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof (if any) will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note (or appropriate adjustments to the amount and beneficial interests in a Global Note will be made, as appropriate).

The Company will pay the redemption price for any Note together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption as long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable redemption price pursuant to the Indenture. Upon redemption of any Notes by the Company, such redeemed Notes will be cancelled.

In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made in accordance with Article V of the Indenture. On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption as long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable redemption price pursuant to the Indenture.

6. Mandatory Repurchase Provisions

Change Of Control Offer. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require that the Company purchase all or a portion (in integral multiples of US$1,000) of the Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of purchase. Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control occurred, the Company must make a Change of Control Offer pursuant to a Change of Control Notice and, so long as the Notes are listed on Euro MTF, the alternative market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, publish the Change of Control Offer in a newspaper having general circulation in Luxembourg. As more fully described in the Indenture, the Change of Control Notice shall state, among other things, the Change of Control Payment Date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date the notice is mailed, other than as may be required by applicable law.

Asset Sale Offer. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to make Asset Sales. In the event the proceeds from a permitted Asset Sale exceed certain amounts and are not applied as specified in the Indenture, the Company will be required to make an Asset Sale Offer to purchase to the extent of such remaining proceeds each Holder’s Notes together with holders of certain other Indebtedness at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest (if any) to the Asset Sale Offer Payment Date, as more fully set forth in the Indenture.

7. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange

The Notes are in fully registered form without coupons, and only in minimum denominations of US$2,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange (i) any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) for a period beginning 15 days before the mailing of a notice of Notes to be redeemed and ending on the date of such mailing or (ii) any Notes for a period beginning 15 days before an interest payment date and ending on such interest payment date.

8. Persons Deemed Owners

The registered holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

9. Unclaimed Money

If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.

10. Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity

Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Company at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the Company deposits with the Trustee U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

11. Amendment, Waiver

(a) (1) Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes and (ii) any default (other than with respect to nonpayment or in respect of a provision that cannot be amended or supplemented without the written consent of each Holder affected) or noncompliance with any provision may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; or to provide for the assumption by a Surviving Entity of the obligations of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor obligation under the Note Guarantee under the Notes in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all on substantially all of the Company’s or such subsidiary Guarantor’s assets, as applicable, to the extent permitted under the Indenture; or provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; provided, however, that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code; or to add guarantees with respect to the Notes or to secure the Notes; or to allow any Subsidiary Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes and to release Note Guarantors from the Note Guarantee in accordance with the terms of Article X of the Indenture; or to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company; or to comply with any requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA; or to conform the text of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of the section ”Description of Notes” in the Offering Circular to the extent that such provision in such “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture or the Notes or Note Guarantees; or to comply with the requirements of any applicable securities depositary; or to make any change that provides any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any such Holder and to provide for a successor Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, to otherwise comply with any requirement of the Indenture,; or to provide for the issuance of the Exchange Notes, which will have terms substantially identical to the other Outstanding Notes except for the requirement of a Private Placement Legend and related transfer restrictions under the Securities Act and the Indenture and as to the applicability of additional interest payable as provided in Section 2.14 of the Indenture, and which will be treated, together with any other Outstanding Notes, as a single issue of securities; or to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes as permitted by Section 2.2(c) and Section 2.13 of the Indenture, which will have terms substantially identical to the other Outstanding Notes except as specified in Section 2.13 or Section 2.14 of the Indenture, and which will be treated, together with any other Outstanding Notes, as a single issue of securities; or to provide for a successor Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; or to otherwise comply with any requirement of this Indenture; or to make any other changes which do not adversely affect the rights of any of the Holders in any material respect.

12. Defaults and Remedies

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default which will result in the Notes being due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default.

Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives reasonable indemnity or security. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.

13. Trustee Dealings with the Company

Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and

collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

14. No Recourse Against Others

An incorporator, director, officer, employee, stockholder or controlling person, as such, of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes, the Indenture or any Note Guarantee or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.

15. Authentication

This Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent acting on its behalf) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.

16. Abbreviations

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entirety), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian) and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act).

17. CUSIP or ISIN Numbers

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures the Company has caused CUSIP or ISIN numbers to be printed on the Notes and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP or ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

18. Governing Law

This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

19. Currency of Account; Conversion of Currency.

U.S. Legal Tender is the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors under or in connection with the Notes or the Indenture, including damages. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will indemnify the Holders as provided in respect of the conversion of currency relating to the Notes and the Indenture.

20. Agent for Service; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Immunities.

The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors have agreed that any suit, action or proceeding against the Company brought by any Holder or the Trustee arising out of or based upon the Indenture or the Notes may be instituted in any state or federal court in The City of New York, New York.
