Copies of the Deposit Agreement are on file at the Depositary's Principal Office, at the principal office of the Custodian and at any other designated transfer office. The statements made on the face and the reverse of this Receipt are summaries of certain provisions of the Deposit Agreement and are qualified by and subject to the detailed provisions of the Deposit Agreement, to which reference is hereby made.

the Shares represented by the CPOs) and the ADSs issuable upon such deposit are not and will not be "restricted securities" (as defined in the Deposit Agreement). Such representations and warranties shall survive the deposit or withdrawal of CPOs and issuance or cancellation of Receipts in respect thereof.

Receipts bearing the facsimile signature of a duly authorized signatory of the Depositary

A-8

The Company may, in such manner as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion, instruct the Depositary to take action with respect to the ownership interest of any Holder or Beneficial Owner in excess of the limitation set forth in the preceding sentences, including but not limited to a mandatory sale or disposition on behalf of a Holder of the CPOs represented by the ADSs held by such Holder in excess of such limitations, if and to the extent such disposition is permitted by law.

(FORM OF REVERSE OF RECEIPT)

SUMMARY OF CERTAIN ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

OF THE DEPOSIT AGREEMENT

(14) Distributions Upon Deposited Securities. Whenever the Depositary or the Custodian receives any cash dividend or cash distribution by the Company on any Deposited Securities, the Depositary shall, subject to the Deposit Agreement, as soon as possible convert or cause such dividend or distribution to be converted into dollars and shall promptly distribute such amount to the Holders entitled thereto in proportion to the number of ADSs representing such Deposited Securities held by them respectively; provided, however, that in the event that the Company, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Depositary shall be required to withhold and does withhold, subject to Section 4.11 of the Deposit Agreement, from any cash dividend or other cash distribution in respect of any Deposited Securities an amount on account of taxes or other governmental charges, the amount distributed to the Holder in respect of ADSs representing Deposited Securities shall be reduced accordingly. Cash distributions and cash proceeds from sales of non-cash distributions in foreign currency will be converted by sale or such other manner as the Depositary may determine into dollars (net of the Depositary's reasonable and customary expenses in effecting such conversion) before distribution to Holders. If in the judgment of the Depositary amounts received in foreign currency may not be converted on a reasonable basis into dollars distributable to the Holders entitled thereto, or if any approval or license of any governmental authority or agency thereof which is required for such conversion is denied or in the opinion of the Depositary is not obtainable, or if any such approval or license is not obtained within a reasonable period as determined by the Depositary, the Depositary may distribute

A-11

the foreign currency (or an appropriate document evidencing the right to receive such foreign currency) received by the Depositary to, or in its discretion may hold such foreign currency for the respective accounts of, the Holders entitled to receive the same. If any such conversion of foreign currency, in whole or in part, cannot be effected for distribution to some Holders entitled thereto, the Depositary may in its discretion make such conversion and distribution in dollars to the extent permissible to the Holders for whom such conversion and distribution is practicable and may distribute the balance of the foreign currency received by the Depositary to, or hold such balance for the account of, the Holders for whom such conversion and distribution is not practicable. If any distribution upon any Deposited Securities consists of a dividend in, or free distribution of, CPOs, the Depositary may, with the Company's approval and shall, if the Company shall so request (i) instruct the Company to deposit or cause such CPOs to be deposited with Indeval and registered in the name of the Custodian and (ii) subject to the Deposit Agreement, distribute to the Holders of outstanding Receipts entitled thereto, in proportion to the number of ADSs representing such Deposited Securities held by them respectively, additional Receipts for an aggregate number of ADSs representing the proportionate number of CPOs received as such dividend or free distribution, after deduction or upon payment of the fees of the Depositary as provided in Exhibit B to the Deposit Agreement; provided, however, that if for any reason (including any requirement that the Company, the Trustee or the Depositary withhold an amount on account of taxes or other governmental charges or that such Shares or CPOs must be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 in order to be distributed to Holders of Receipts) the Depositary deems such distribution not to be feasible, the Depositary may adopt such method, as it may deem equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including the sale (at public or private sale) of the CPOs thus received, or any part thereof, and the

A-12

distribution of the net proceeds of any such sale by the Depositary to the Holders entitled thereto as in the case of a distribution received in cash. In lieu of issuing Receipts for fractional ADSs in any such case, the Depositary shall sell the number of Shares or CPOs represented by the aggregate of such fractions and distribute the net proceeds in dollars as in the case of a distribution received in cash. If additional Receipts are not so distributed (except pursuant to the preceding sentence), each ADS shall thenceforth also represent its proportionate interest in the additional CPOs so distributed.

If the Company shall offer or cause to be offered to the holders of any Deposited Securities any rights to subscribe for additional CPOs (including any rights to subscribe for additional Shares) or any rights of any other nature, the Depositary, after consultation with the Company, shall have discretion as to the procedure to be followed in making such rights available to the Holders entitled thereto, subject to the Deposit Agreement, or in disposing of such rights on behalf of such Holders and making the net proceeds available in dollars to such Holders or, if by the terms of such rights offering or by reason of applicable law, the Depositary can neither make such rights available to such Holders nor dispose of such rights and make the net proceeds available to such Holders, then the Depositary shall allow the rights to lapse; provided, however, that the Depositary will, if requested by the Company in writing, either (x) after deduction or upon payment of any applicable fees of the Depositary, make such rights available to Holders by means of warrants or otherwise, if lawful and feasible, or (y) if making such rights available to all or certain Holders is not lawful or not feasible, or if the rights represented by such warrants or such other instruments are not exercised and appear to be about to lapse, use its reasonable efforts to sell such rights or warrants or other instruments, at public or private sale, at such place or places and upon such terms as the Depositary may deem reasonable and proper, and allocate the net proceeds of such sales for the accounts of the Holders otherwise entitled, to such rights, warrants or other instruments upon an averaged or other practicable basis without regard to any distinctions among such Holders because of exchange restrictions.

A-13

Whenever the Custodian or the Depositary shall receive any distribution of securities or property other than cash, CPOs or rights to subscribe for CPOs, the Depositary shall cause such securities or property to be distributed promptly to the Holders entitled thereto in proportion to the number of ADSs representing such Deposited Securities held by them respectively, in any manner that the Depositary may deem equitable and practicable for accomplishing such distribution; provided, however, that if in the opinion of the Depositary it cannot cause such securities or property to be distributed or such distribution cannot be made proportionately among the Holders entitled thereto, or if for any other reason (including any requirement that the Company, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Depositary withhold an amount on account of taxes or other governmental charges) the Depositary deems such distribution not to be feasible, the Depositary may adopt such method as it may deem equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including the sale (at public or private sale) of the securities or property thus received, or any part thereof, and the net proceeds of any such sale shall be distributed by the Depositary to the Holders entitled thereto as in the case of a distribution received in cash.

(15) Record Dates. Whenever any cash dividend or other cash distribution shall become payable or any distribution other than cash shall be made, or whenever rights shall be issued, with respect to the Deposited Securities, or whenever, for any reason in connection with a Company action, the Depositary causes a change in the number of CPOs that are represented by each ADS or whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of any meeting of holders of

A-14

Deposited Securities (including notices of any meeting of holders of Shares underlying the CPOs), the Depositary shall fix a record date after consultation with the Company (which shall be as near as practicable to the corresponding record date, if any, for Deposited Securities set by the Company or the Trustee) for the determination of the Holders who shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution of rights, or the net proceeds of the sale thereof, or to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights, if any, at any such meeting. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, the Holders on such record date shall be entitled to receive the amount distributable by the Depositary with respect to such dividend or other distribution or such rights or the net proceeds of the same thereof and to exercise the rights of Holders with respect to the Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs held by them respectively.

(16) Voting of Deposited Securities. Holders will not be entitled to vote the Shares underlying CPOs deposited thereunder, and all of such Shares will be voted by the Trustee in the same manner as the majority of Shares that are not held in the Trust and that are voted at the relevant meeting. As soon as practicable after the receipt of a notice of any meeting of holders of Shares or other securities underlying Deposited Securities, the Depositary shall mail the information contained in such notice to Holders together with a statement that, pursuant to the provisions of the CPOs and the agreement creating the Trust, Holders may not exercise voting rights with respect to the Shares underlying the CPOs, and that the Trustee will vote all such Shares in the same manner as the majority of all Shares that are not held in the Trust and that are voted at the relevant meeting. As soon as practicable after receipt of notice of any meeting of holders of CPOs or other Deposited Securities, the Depositary shall fix a record date for determining the Holders entitled to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights, if any, as provided in paragraph (15) and shall mail

A-15

to the Holders of record a notice which shall contain: (a) such information as is contained in such notice of meeting, (b) a statement, if provided by the Trustee or the Common Representative or the Company, as applicable, that the Holders at the close of business on a specified record date will be entitled, subject to the terms of this paragraph, any applicable provisions of Mexican law, of the Trust and of the Estatutos Sociales of the Company (which provisions, shall be summarized in pertinent part, if such summary is provided by the Trustee or the Common Representative), to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights, if any, pertaining to the number of CPOs or other Deposited Securities represented by the respective ADSs evidenced by their respective Receipt or Receipts and a brief statement as to the manner in which instructions may be given, including an express indication that instructions may be given to the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Trustee. Upon the written request of a Holder on such record date, received on or before the date established by the Depositary for such purpose, the Depositary shall endeavor insofar as is practicable to vote or cause to be voted the number of Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced by the Receipt or Receipts of such Holder in accordance with the instructions set forth in such request.

The Depositary agrees not to vote or cause to be voted the CPOs or other Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced by a Receipt unless it receives instructions from the Holder.

(17) Changes Affecting Deposited Securities. Upon any change in par value, split-up, consolidation or any other reclassification of CPOs, or the securities represented by CPOs, or upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale of assets affecting the Company or to which it is a party, any securities which shall be received by the Depositary or the Custodian in

A-16

exchange for, or in conversion, replacement or otherwise in respect of, Deposited Securities shall be treated as Deposited Securities under the Deposit Agreement, and the Receipts shall, subject to the terms of the Deposit Agreement and applicable laws, including any applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, thenceforth evidence ADSs representing the right to receive Deposited Securities including the securities so received in exchange or conversion to the extent additional Receipts are not delivered pursuant to the following sentence. In any such case the Depositary may with the approval of the Company and Trustee, and shall at the Company's request, subject to Section 5.09 and the other terms of the Deposit Agreement, execute and deliver additional Receipts as in the case of a dividend of CPOs, or call for the surrender of outstanding Receipts to be exchanged for new Receipts, specifically describing such newly received Deposited Securities. Immediately upon the occurrence of any such event referred to in this paragraph in respect of Deposited Securities, the Depositary shall give written notice thereof to Holders, at the Company's expense.

(18) Reports; Inspection of Register. The Depositary shall make available for inspection during business hours by Holders and Beneficial Owners at its Principal Office and at the principal office of each Custodian copies of the Deposit Agreement, and any notices, reports or communications, including any proxy soliciting materials, received from the Company, the Common Representative or the Trustee which are both (a) received by the Depositary or the Custodian or the nominee of either, as the holder of the Deposited Securities, and (b) made generally available to the holders of such Deposited Securities by the Company, the Common Representative or the Trustee. The Depositary shall keep books at its Principal Office for the registration and transfer of Receipts, which books shall be open at all reasonable times for inspection by Holders or the Company, provided that such inspection shall not be for the purpose of communicating with Holders in the interest of a business or object other than the business of the Company or the Trust or a matter related to the Deposit Agreement or the Receipts.

A-17

(19) Withholding. In connection with any distribution to Holders, the Company, the Trustee, or the Depositary or their respective agents, as appropriate, will remit to the appropriate governmental authority or agency all amounts (if any) required to be withheld by the Company, the Trustee, the Depositary or their respective agents and owing to such authority or agency. The Depositary will forward to the Company, the Trustee or their respective agents such information from its records as the Company, the Trustee or their agents may reasonably request to enable the Company or the Trustee or their agents to file necessary reports with governmental authorities or agencies. If the Depositary determines that any distribution in property (including CPOs and rights to subscribe therefor) is subject to any taxes or governmental charges which the Depositary is obligated to withhold, the Depositary may dispose of all or a portion of such property (including CPOs and rights to subscribe therefor) in such amounts and in such manner as the Depositary deems necessary and practicable to pay such taxes or governmental charges, by public or private sale, and the Depositary shall distribute the net proceeds of any such sale or the balance of any such property after deduction of such taxes or governmental charges to the Holders entitled thereto in proportion to the number of ADSs held by them respectively.

(20) Liability of the Company and the Depositary. None of the Depositary, the Company or their agents, if any, shall incur any liability to any Holder or Beneficial Owner or other person if, by reason of any present or future law, the Estatutos Sociales of the Company, the provisions of or governing any Deposited Securities, any act of God, war or other circumstance beyond its control, the Depositary, the Company or their agents shall be prevented, delayed or forbidden

A-18

from doing or performing any act or thing which by the terms of the Deposit Agreement it is provided shall be done or performed. Each of the Company, the Depositary and their agents assumes no obligation and shall be subject to no liability under the Deposit Agreement or this Receipt to Holders or Beneficial Owners or other persons, except to perform such obligations as are specifically set forth and undertaken by it to be performed in the Deposit Agreement in good faith and using its best judgment. The Depositary and the Company undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in the Deposit Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into the Deposit Agreement against the Depositary or the Company or their respective agents. None of the Depositary, the Company or their agents shall be (a) under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any Deposited Securities or this Receipt which in its opinion may involve it in expense or liability, unless indemnity satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all expense and liability be furnished as often as may be required or (b) liable for any action or inaction by it or them in reliance upon the advice of or information from legal counsel, accountants, any person presenting Shares for deposit, any Holder, Beneficial Owner or any other person believed by it or them in good faith to be competent to give such advice or information. The Depositary, the Company and their respective agents may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any written notice, request, direction or other document believed by them to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. Subject to the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall not be responsible for the manner in which any vote is cast or for the effect of any such vote provided that such action or non-action is taken in good faith and in accordance with the Deposit Agreement.

A-19

(21) Certain Rights of the Depositary; Limitations. Subject to the further terms and provisions of this paragraph (21), Citibank, N.A. and its Agents may own and deal in any class of securities of the Company and its Affiliates and the Trust and in Receipts. The Depositary may issue Receipts against evidence of rights to receive CPOs from the Trustee, or any custodian, registrar, transfer agent, clearing agency or other entity involved in ownership or transaction records in respect of the CPOs. Such evidence of rights shall consist of written blanket or specific guarantees of ownership of CPOs furnished on behalf of the holder thereof. The Depositary shall not lend CPOs or Receipts; provided, however, that the Depositary reserves the right to (i) issue Receipts prior to the receipt of CPOs pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Deposit Agreement and (ii) deliver CPOs prior to the receipt and cancellation of Receipts pursuant to
Section 2.05 of the Deposit Agreement, including Receipts which were issued under (i) above but for which CPOs may not have been received. The Depositary may receive Receipts in lieu of CPOs under (i) above and receive CPOs in lieu of Receipts under (ii) above. Each such transaction shall be subject to the terms and conditions provided in the Deposit Agreement.

(22) Resignation and Removal of the Depositary; the Custodian. The Depositary may at any time resign as Depositary under the Deposit Agreement by written notice to the Company of its election so to do or be removed by the Company by written notice to the Depositary, such resignation or removal to take effect upon the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as provided in the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary may, upon approval of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, at any time appoint a substitute or, if permitted by Mexican and other applicable law, additional Custodians and the term "Custodian" refers to each Custodian or all Custodians as the context requires.

A-20

(23) Amendment of Deposit Agreement and Receipts. This Receipt and the Deposit Agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended by agreement between the Company and the Depositary in any respect which they may deem necessary or desirable. Any amendment which shall impose or increase any fees or charges (other than the fees of the Depositary for the issuance and delivery of Receipts or the making of deposits, if any, and other taxes and charges listed in paragraph (7)) or which shall otherwise prejudice any substantial existing right of Holders or Beneficial Owners, shall not, however, become effective as to outstanding Receipts until the expiration of 90 days after notice of such amendment shall have been given to the Holders of outstanding Receipts.
