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). Except as provided in Section 2.6(c)(ii)(B), 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.

(ii)The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among DTC participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

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 Issuer shall execute and upon Issuer Order the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if, as determined by the Issuer, 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 Issuer, such Holder shall furnish an affidavit of loss and indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Issuer and the Trustee to protect the Issuer, 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 Issuer or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and upon Issuer 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.

(b)Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.9, the Issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) in connection therewith.

41

(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 Issuer, any Note 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 Issuer may execute and upon Issuer Order the Trustee will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer will prepare and execute and upon Issuer 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 Issuer for that purpose and such exchange shall be without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer will execute and upon Issuer Order the Trustee will authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor one or more definitive Notes representing an equal principal amount of Notes. 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 Issuer 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 Issuer all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation. The Issuer 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 Issuer 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 Issuer, at its election, as provided in Section 2.12(a) or 2.12(b).

(a)The Issuer 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 Issuer 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 Issuer 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

42

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 Issuer of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, 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 Issuer 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, if any, on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Issuer 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 Issuer 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 (“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; and

(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).

Section 2.14Ranking; Security for and Parity of Notes. All Notes issued and Outstanding hereunder rank on a parity with each other Note, and each Note shall be secured equally and ratably by this Indenture and the Collateral Documents with each other Note, without preference, priority or distinction of any one thereof over any other by reason of difference in time of issuance or otherwise, and each Note shall be entitled to the same benefits and security in this Indenture and the Collateral Documents as each other Note. The Issuer shall be responsible for the continued maintenance, priority and perfection of such security interest as set forth in the Collateral Documents.

The Issuer 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.

44

The Issuer will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary other than a Note Guarantor to Guarantee any Indebtedness of the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary or to secure any Indebtedness of the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary 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, as the case may be, 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 at least equal to the amount of Issuer or other Restricted Subsidiary Indebtedness so Guaranteed or secured; provided, however, that any Guarantee by any such Restricted Subsidiary of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Note Guarantor will be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the contemporaneous Guarantee of the Notes by such Restricted Subsidiary; and provided further, that the Issuer will not permit a Restricted Subsidiary to Guarantee or secure any Capital Stock of the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary.

Section 3.8Limitation on Restricted Payments. Subject to the terms described in this Section 3.8, the Issuer will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, take any of the following actions (each, a “Restricted Payment”):

if at the time of the Restricted Payment and immediately after giving effect thereto:

(1) a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and be continuing;

(2) the Issuer is not able to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 3.6(1); or

(3) the aggregate amount (the amount expended for these purposes, if other than in cash, being the Fair Market Value of the relevant property) of the proposed Restricted Payment and all other Restricted Payments made subsequent to the Issue Date up to the date thereof, less any Investment Return calculated as of the date thereof, shall exceed the sum of (without duplication):

(A) 50% of cumulative Consolidated Net Income of the Issuer or, if cumulative Consolidated Net Income of the Issuer is a loss, minus 50% of the loss, accrued during the period, treated as one accounting period, beginning on the first full fiscal quarter after the Issue Date to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which consolidated financial information of the Issuer is available; plus

(B) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Issuer from any Person from any:

· issuance and sale subsequent to the Issue Date (and, in the case of Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary, at such time as it was a Restricted Subsidiary) of any Indebtedness for borrowed money of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that has been converted into or exchanged for Qualified Capital Stock of the Issuer,

excluding, in each case, any net cash proceeds:

(w) received from a Subsidiary of the Issuer;

(x) used to redeem Notes under “—Redemption—Optional Redemption Upon Public Equity Offerings” in Exhibit A; or

50

(y) applied in accordance with clause (4) or (5) of the second paragraph of this covenant below.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, this Section 3.8 does not prohibit:

(1) any dividend or other distribution in respect of Capital Stock of the Issuer while it is a Vitro Restricted Subsidiary either:

(a) payable solely in shares of common stock of the Issuer; or

(b) if:

provided, that the value of any such Qualified Capital Stock issued in exchange for such acquired Capital Stock and any such net cash proceeds will be excluded from clause (3)(B) of the first paragraph of this Section 3.8 (and were not included therein at any time); or

(5) if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the voluntary prepayment, purchase, defeasance, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Subordinated Indebtedness solely in exchange for, or through the application of net cash proceeds of a substantially concurrent sale, other than to a Subsidiary of the Issuer, of:

(x) Qualified Capital Stock of the Issuer; or

51

(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 cash proceeds referred to above will be excluded from clause (3)(B) of the first paragraph of this Section 3.8 (and were not included therein at any time).

In determining the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments made subsequent to the Issue Date, amounts expended pursuant to clause (1), (2) (to the extent such loans and advances are not repaid) or (3) (without duplication for the declaration of the relevant dividend) above will be included in such calculation and amounts expended pursuant to clauses (2) (to the extent such loans and advances are repaid), (4) and (5) above will not be included in such calculation.

Section 3.9Limitation on Asset Sales.

(a) Asset Sales. The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(i)the Issuer 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 sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(ii)at least 80% of the consideration received for the assets sold by the Issuer or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in the Asset Sale will be in the form of

(A)cash, Cash Equivalents or the assumption of Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or any Subordinated Indebtedness);

(B)property or assets (other than current assets as determined in accordance with Mexican GAAP, except for current assets acquired incidental to the acquisition of assets that constitute a line of business, or Capital Stock) to be owned by and used in a Permitted Business of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; or

(C)Capital Stock of (i) one or more Persons engaged in a Permitted Business (except as otherwise permitted by Section 3.15) which thereby become Restricted Subsidiaries, or (ii) a Restricted Subsidiary, in each case which Capital Stock was acquired from a third party other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary (Clauses (B) and (C), together, “Replacement Assets”), in each case received at the time of such Asset Sale.

The Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may apply the Net Cash Proceeds of any such Asset Sale within 360 days thereof to (i) repay any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary for borrowed money or constituting a Capitalized Lease Obligation (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) and permanently reduce the commitments with respect thereto

52

without Refinancing, or (ii) purchase Replacement Assets from a Person other than the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries.

(b) Collateral Asset Sales. The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, consummate a Collateral Asset Sale unless:

(i)such Collateral Asset Sale involves the Collateral substantially in its entirety, or, if such Collateral Asset Sale involves less than all of the Collateral (a “Partial Collateral Asset Sale”), such Partial Collateral Asset Sale involves a single Collateral Asset Sale with a Fair Market Value at the time of consummation of such Collateral Asset Sale not exceeding $50.0 million and is not part of a series of Collateral Asset Sales in any eighteen month period with an aggregate Fair Market Value (measured as of the time of consummation of such sales) exceeding $50.0 million in the aggregate;

(ii)the Issuer or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of the Collateral Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of such Collateral;

(iii)with respect to each such Collateral Asset Sale, the Issuer delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee dated no more than 15 days prior to the date of consummation of the relevant Collateral Asset Sale, certifying that such sale complies with clauses (i) and (ii) above;

(iv)at least 80% of the consideration received for the Collateral sold by the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, shall be in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents received at the time of such Collateral Asset Sale; provided that any other consideration received for such Collateral shall constitute Collateral pursuant to appropriate Collateral Documents to which the owner thereof is a party; and

(v)the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom shall be paid directly by the purchaser thereof to the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent, pursuant to the Master Collateral and Intercreditor Agreement, as additional Collateral.

In the case of a Partial Collateral Asset Sale, the Issuer, within 360 days from the date of consummation of a Partial Collateral Asset Sale, may apply all of the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom to purchase or otherwise invest in Replacement Collateral or to repay Permitted Secured Obligations (other than Trade Payables). Any such Net Cash Proceeds not so applied will be applied to make an Asset Sale Offer, in accordance with the terms described in Section 3.9(e). In the case of a Collateral Asset Sale other than a Partial Collateral Asset Sale, all of the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom will be immediately applied to make an Asset Sale Offer in accordance with the terms described below in Section 3.9(e).

(c) Events of Loss. If the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary suffers an Event of Loss, the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom will be paid directly by the party providing such Net Cash Proceeds to the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent, pursuant to the applicable Collateral Document, as additional Collateral. As any portion or all of the Net Cash Proceeds from any such Event of Loss are received by the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent, the Issuer may apply all of such amount or amounts, as received, together with all interest earned thereon, individually

53

or in combination, (1) to purchase or otherwise invest in Replacement Collateral, (2) to restore the relevant Collateral or Real Property Collateral, as the case may be, and (3) solely in the event that the Collateral or Real Property Collateral, as the case may be, subject to the Event of Loss is not necessary for and the absence of such Collateral or Real Property Collateral, as the case may be, would not otherwise materially adversely affect the business of the Issuer as it was conducted prior to the occurrence of such Event of Loss, to repay Permitted Secured Obligations (other than Trade Payables). In the event that the Issuer elects to restore the relevant Collateral or Real Property Collateral, as the case may be, pursuant to the foregoing clause (2), within 180 days of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds from an Event of Loss, the Issuer will

(i)give the Trustee irrevocable written notice of such election, and

(ii)enter into a binding commitment to restore such Collateral or Real Property Collateral, as the case may be, a copy of which will be supplied to the Trustee, and will have 360 days from the date of such binding commitment to complete such restoration, which will be carried out with due diligence. The Issuer will take such action, at its sole expense, as may be required to ensure that the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent has, from the date of such purchase or investment, a first ranking Lien on such Replacement Collateral.

Any such Net Cash Proceeds that the Issuer does not elect to apply within such 180 period or does not actually apply within such 360 day period will be applied to make an Asset Sale Offer in accordance with the terms described below in Section 3.9(e).

(d)Replacement Collateral. In the event that the Issuer decides pursuant to the foregoing provisions to apply any portion of the Net Cash Proceeds from a Collateral Asset Sale or an Event of Loss to purchase or otherwise invest in Replacement Collateral,

(1) the Issuer will deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee dated no more than 30 days prior to the date of consummation of the relevant investment in Replacement Collateral, certifying that the purchase price for the amount of the investment in Replacement Collateral does not exceed the Fair Market Value of such Replacement Collateral;

(2) the Issuer will deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent and the Trustee certifying compliance with the provisions of the Indenture and the Permitted Secured Obligations and requesting the release of such certified purchase price to the Issuer (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary), free of the Lien of the Collateral Documents; and

(3) the Issuer will take such actions, at its sole expense, as may be required to permit the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent, pursuant to the applicable Collateral Document, to release such Net Cash Proceeds, together with any interest thereon, from the Lien of the applicable Collateral Document and to ensure that the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent has, from the date of such purchase or investment, a first priority Lien on such Replacement Collateral pursuant to appropriate Collateral Documents.

(e)Asset Sale Offer. To the extent all or a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale, Collateral Asset Sale or Event of Loss are not applied as described in the

54

respective paragraphs set forth above on or prior to the last day (the “Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date”) for the application of such proceeds therefor (including in the case of an Event of Loss, the election to apply), the Issuer will 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 Issuer will purchase pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer from all tendering Holders on a pro rata basis, that principal amount of Notes to be purchased equal to such unapplied Net Cash Proceeds.

The offer to purchase Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer must be mailed within 20 Business Days of the Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date. The Issuer may, however, defer an Asset Sale Offer until there is an aggregate amount of unapplied Net Cash Proceeds from one or more Asset Sales, Collateral Asset Sales or Events of Loss equal to or in excess of $10 million. At that time, the entire amount of unapplied Net Cash Proceeds, and not just the amount in excess of $10 million, will be applied as required pursuant to this Section 3.9 in accordance with the Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date for the Asset Sale, Collateral Asset Sale or Event of Loss that caused the Net Cash Proceeds to exceed $10 million. Pending application in accordance with this Section 3.9, Net Cash Proceeds will be invested in Cash Equivalents.

Within 20 days following an Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date, the Issuer shall mail to each Holder an Asset Sale Offer Notice, with a copy to the Trustee and to the extent such Asset Sale Offer relates to Net Cash Proceeds of any Collateral, the Collateral and Intercreditor Agent, offering to purchase the Notes as described above. Each Asset Sale Offer Notice shall state, in addition to the things specified in the definition thereof, the purchase date, which must be a Business Day no earlier than 30 calendar days nor later than 60 calendar days from the date the Asset Sale Offer Notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Asset Sale Offer Payment Date”). Upon receiving an Asset Sale Offer Notice, Holders may elect to tender their Notes in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000 in exchange for cash.

On the Asset Sale Offer Payment Date, the Issuer will, 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

(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Issuer.

To the extent Holders of Notes that are the subject of an Asset Sale Offer properly tender and do not withdraw Notes in an aggregate amount exceeding the available amount of unapplied Net Cash Proceeds, the Issuer will purchase the Notes 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

55

and beneficial interests in a Global Note will be made, as appropriate). Notes (or portions thereof) purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer will be cancelled and cannot be reissued.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.9, at the Issuer’s option, the Issuer may:

(a) make any Asset Sale Offer in respect of Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale on a pro rata basis to holders of other Senior Indebtedness, and thereby purchase from tendering Holders of Notes and holders of such other Senior Indebtedness on a pro rata basis; and

(b) apply Net Cash Proceeds from a Collateral Asset Sale or Event of Loss to permanently repay or repurchase Permitted Secured Obligations (other than the Notes and Trade Payables) concurrently with any repurchase of Notes with such Net Cash Proceeds pursuant to the relevant Asset Sale Offer so long as the minimum portion of the Net Cash Proceeds applied to repurchase Notes is not less than the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds multiplied by the ratio of (i) the outstanding principal amount of Notes to (ii) the outstanding principal amount of Permitted Secured Obligations (excluding Trade Payables) except if and only to the extent that the principal amount of Notes tendered in the relevant Asset Sale Offer is less than such minimum amount.

Upon completion of an Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Net Cash Proceeds will be reset at zero. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the aggregate amount of unapplied Net Cash Proceeds the Issuer may use any remaining Net Cash Proceeds:

(1) from any Asset Sale, for general corporate purposes of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(2) from any Collateral Asset Sale, for Replacement Collateral; and

(3) from any Event of Loss, for Replacement Collateral or to restore the relevant Collateral or Real Property Collateral.

In the event any Asset Sale Offer involves Net Cash Proceeds from any combination of an Asset Sale, Collateral Asset Sale or an Event of Loss, the remaining Net Cash Proceeds will be applied as set forth in the previous sentence on a basis proportionate to the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds from each such event that gave rise to the Asset Sale Offer. The Issuer shall account for Net Cash Proceeds from a Collateral Asset Sale or Event of Loss separately from Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale. Remaining Net Cash Proceeds attributable to a Collateral Asset Sale or Event of Loss will remain as Collateral pursuant to the relevant Collateral Documents pending application pursuant to clause (2) or (3) above.

The Issuer will 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 Section 3.9(e), the Issuer will comply with these laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 3.9(e) by doing so.

56

In the event of the transfer of substantially all (but not all) of the property and assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries as an entirety to a Person (other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) in a transaction permitted under Section 4.1, the Successor Issuer will be deemed to have sold the properties and assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries not so transferred for purposes of this Section 3.9, and will comply with the provisions of this Section 3.9 with respect to the deemed sale as if it were an Asset Sale or a Collateral Asset Sale, as appropriate. In addition, the Fair Market Value of properties and assets of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries so deemed to be sold will be deemed to be Net Cash Proceeds for purposes of this Section 3.9.

If at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale, Collateral Asset Sale or Event of Loss 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 will be deemed to constitute an Asset Sale, Collateral Asset Sale or Event of Loss hereunder and the Net Cash Proceeds thereof will be applied in accordance with this Section 3.9 within the applicable time period from such conversion or disposition as set forth above.

Section 3.10Limitation on the Ownership of Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries. The Issuer will not permit any Person other than the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, own or control any Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary, except for:

(1) Capital Stock owned by such Person (or any direct or indirect transferee thereof) as of the Issue Date;

(2) directors’ qualifying shares;

(3) any Capital Stock of any Permitted Joint Venture;

(4) the ownership by Persons other than the Issuer, its Restricted Subsidiaries or any Affiliate of Vitro of Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Subsidiary (i) the Capital Stock of which is pledged or required to be pledged or (ii) the Real Property of which is mortgaged or required to be mortgaged) so long as the Issuer directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary owns and controls at least 51% of the Voting Stock of, and economic interest in, such Restricted Subsidiary;

(5) the sale of 100% of the shares of the Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary held by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries to any Person other than the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary effected in accordance with, as applicable, the Collateral Documents, Section 3.9 and Section 4.1; and

(6) in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary other than a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary, the issuance by that Restricted Subsidiary of Capital Stock on a pro rata basis to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and minority holders of the Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary, on the other hand (or on less than a pro rata basis to any minority holder).

57

Section 3.11Limitation on Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. (a) The Issuer may designate after the Issue Date any Subsidiary of the Issuer as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” under the Indenture (a “Designation”) only if:

(1) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and be continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such Designation and any transactions between the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and such Unrestricted Subsidiary are in compliance with Section 3.14;

(2) at the time of and after giving effect to such Designation, the Issuer could Incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 3.6(1).

(3) the Issuer would be permitted to make an Investment at the time of Designation (assuming the effectiveness of such Designation and treating such Designation as an Investment at the time of Designation) as a Restricted Payment pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.8 in an amount (the “Designation Amount”) equal to the amount of the Issuer’s Investment in such Subsidiary on such date;

(4) neither the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary nor any of its assets is part of the Collateral; and

(5) such Subsidiary is not a Vitro Restricted Subsidiary.

(b)Neither the Issuer nor any Restricted Subsidiary will at any time:

(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 any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any undertaking, agreement or instrument evidencing such Indebtedness);

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

(i) for any non-recourse Guarantee given solely to support the pledge by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Capital Stock of any Unrestricted Subsidiary; and

(ii) that the Issuer may Guarantee any Indebtedness of an Unrestricted Subsidiary if at the time of and after giving effect to such Guarantee, the Issuer could Incur such Guarantee in accordance with Section 3.6(1) and the first paragraph of Section 3.8 and the aggregate amount of all Guarantees of the Issuer or Indebtedness of Unrestricted Subsidiaries shall not exceed $50 million.

58

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

(1) No Default or Event of Default has 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 the Indenture.

(d)The Designation of a Subsidiary of the Issuer as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will 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 Issuer, delivered to the Trustee certifying compliance with the preceding provisions.

Section 3.12 Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. (a)Except as provided in paragraph (b) below, the Issuer will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock to the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary;

(2) make loans or advances to the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary; or

(3) transfer any of its property or assets to the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary.

(b)Paragraph (a) above will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

59

(5) any instrument governing Acquired Indebtedness not Incurred in connection with, or in anticipation or contemplation of, the relevant acquisition, merger or consolidation, which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person or the properties or assets of the Person so acquired;

(7) customary restrictions imposed on the transfer of copyrighted or patented materials;

(8) arising in connection with the Incurrence of Indebtedness of a Note Guarantor after the Issue Date; provided, that such encumbrances or restrictions (i) relate solely to such Note Guarantor, are required in order to effect such financing and are not more restrictive on the ability of such Note Guarantor to make the payments, distributions, loans, advances or transfers referred to above than necessarily and customarily accepted and (ii) the proposed encumbrances or restrictions, taken together with other encumbrances or restrictions on the payments, distributions, loans, advances or transfers referred to above in effect with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries, do not prevent the Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer from making distributions to the Issuer sufficient to pay amounts payable in respect of its Indebtedness due during the 12 month period immediately following the Incurrence of such Indebtedness;

60

Notes, or in the case of a Note Guarantor, the relevant Note Guarantee, and all other amounts due under this Indenture equally and ratably with such Indebtedness or other obligation (or, in the event that such Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the relevant Note Guarantee, as the case may be, prior to such Indebtedness or other obligation) with a Lien on the same properties and assets securing such Indebtedness or other obligation for so long as such Indebtedness or other obligation is secured by such Lien.

Section 3.14 Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any of its Affiliates (each an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:

(ii)in the event that such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments, or transfers of property or services with a Fair Market Value, in excess of $5 million, the terms of such Affiliate Transaction will be approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer (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

(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.

To the extent that the payment of any such reasonable compensation, expenses, taxes, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.7 hereof out of the estate and any such proceeding, will be denied for any reason, payment of the same will be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

Section 6.11Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, each party to this Indenture agrees, and each Holder by its acceptance of its Notes will be deemed to have agreed, that a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant.

(b)After an amendment under this Section 9.1 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment made under this Section 9.1.

Section 9.2With Consent of Holders.

(a)The Issuer, the Note Guarantors and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Notes or any of the Collateral Documents without notice to any Holder but with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes). However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment may not:

(i)reduce the amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment or waiver;

(ii)reduce the rate of or change or have the effect of changing the time for payment of interest, including Defaulted Interest, on any Notes;

(a)A consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective.

An amendment, supplement or waiver shall become effective upon receipt by the Trustee of the requisite number of written consents under Section 9.2.

(b)The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date.

Section 9.4Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment or supplement changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Note will execute and upon Issuer Order the Trustee

91

will authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment or supplement.

Section 9.5 Trustee to Sign Amendments and Supplements. The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplement authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment or supplement the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity satisfactory to it and to receive, and (subject to Section 7.1 and Section 7.2) shall be fully protected in relying upon, such evidence as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, solely on an Opinion of Counsel and Officers’ Certificate stating that such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

Proof of execution of any instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Article.

ARTICLE X

NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 10.1Note Guarantees.

(a)Each Note Guarantor hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, jointly and severally with each other Note 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 hereunder (such guaranteed Obligations, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Note Guarantor further agrees (to the extent permitted by law) that such 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 such Obligation. Each Note Guarantor hereby agrees to pay, in addition to the amounts stated above, any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under any Note Guarantee.

(b)Each Note Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Note Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Note 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

92

against the Issuer or any other Person under this Indenture or the Notes; (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 or the Notes; (iv) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; or (v)  any change in the ownership of the Issuer.

(c)Each Note 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 any Guaranteed Obligations.

(d)The obligations of each Note Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Guaranteed 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 Note 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 or the Notes, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, or by any other act or omission or delay to do any other act which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Note Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Note Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

(e)Each Note 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 Issuer or otherwise.

(f)In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder has at law or in equity against each Note Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay any of the Obligations hereunder when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, each Note 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).

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

(i)the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Note Guarantee herein, notwithstanding

93

any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; and

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

Section 10.2Limitation on Liability; Termination, Release and Discharge.

(a)The obligations of each Note Guarantor hereunder will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Note Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Note Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Note Guarantor under its Note Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Note Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under U.S. or Mexican federal or state law.

(b)A Note Guarantor will be released and relieved of its obligations under its Note Guarantee in the event that:

(i)there is a Legal Defeasance of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.1; or

(ii)there is a sale or other disposition of 100% of the Capital Stock of such Note Guarantor owned by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries.

provided, that the transaction is carried out pursuant to and in accordance with all other applicable provisions of this Indenture.

Section 10.3Right of Contribution. Each Note Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under a Note Guarantee will be entitled to a contribution from each other Note Guarantor in a pro rata amount, based on the net assets of each Note Guarantor determined in accordance with Mexican GAAP. The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Note Guarantor to the Trustee and the Holders and each Note Guarantor shall remain liable to the Trustee and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by such Note Guarantor hereunder.

Section 10.4No Subrogation. Each Note Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations until payment in full in U.S. Legal Tender of all Obligations. If any amount shall be paid to any Note Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full in U.S. Legal Tender, such amount shall be held by such Note Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Note Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Note Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by such Note Guarantor (duly endorsed by such Note Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Obligations.

94

Section 10.5New Note Guarantees.(a) The Issuer shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary that is a Grantor Subsidiary at any time to become a Note Guarantor; provided that no Grantor Subsidiary shall be required to be a Note Guarantor solely due to its ownership of shares of Comegua. Accordingly, the Issuer shall cause any Restricted Subsidiary that shall become or is required to become a Grantor Subsidiary after the Issue Date (a “New Note Guarantor”) to concurrently grant a guarantee (a “New Note Guarantee”) of the Issuer’s Obligations under this Indenture and the Notes to the same extent that the Note Guarantors have guaranteed the Issuer’s Obligations under this Indenture and the Notes by executing a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit E and providing the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel.

(b)The Issuer shall cause each New Note Guarantor to become a party to the Master Collateral and Intercreditor Agreement and comply with the terms thereof, including but not limited to, the provisions set forth in Sections 7.2 and 7.3 thereof.

Section 10.6Waivers.

(a)Each Note Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled under applicable law to (i) have a suit, action or proceeding be initiated and/or completed against the Issuer under this Indenture and/or the Notes, prior to the initiation or completion of a suit, action or proceeding against the Note Guarantor under its Note Guarantee, (ii) require that the assets of the Issuer be used, applied or depleted before the assets of the Note Guarantor may be used, applied or depleted in connection with its Note Guarantee, and (iii) have any claims against the Issuer arising under the Notes or this Indenture and/or against the Note Guarantors under their respective Note Guarantee, be divided among the Note Guarantors.

(b)To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, each Note Guarantor hereby waives its rights under Articles 2814, 2815, 2817, 2818, 2820, 2821, 2822, 2823, 2827, 2837, 2838, 2840, 2842, 2845, 2846, 2847, 2848 and 2849 of Mexico’s Federal Civil Code and the corresponding articles of the civil codes of each of Mexico’s states.

The Issuer shall pay interest semiannually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date of each year commencing January 23, 2005. 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 July 23, 2004. The Issuer 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. Commencing on the date that is 151 days from the Issue Date, the Notes shall bear interest at a rate of 0.50% per annum in excess of the interest rate shown in the Notes, unless and until the date on which the Trustee shall have received both (i) a duly executed Interest Rate Adjustment Certificate and (ii) a duly executed Issuer Interest Rate Adjustment Certificate. The Trustee shall provide notice to the Holders (i) promptly upon the satisfaction of these conditions, and (ii) promptly following such 151^st day, in the event both conditions have not been satisfied.

The Issuer 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 of 10.75% per annum, as increased by the previous paragraph, as provided in the Indenture.

All payments made by the Issuer in respect of the Notes or by a Note Guarantor in respect of its Note Guarantee 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 Jurisdiction, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. In that event, the Issuer 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 Issuer shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay such principal and/or interest.
