|
(2) The Early Tender Premium to be paid in principal amount of New Notes of the corresponding series per each U.S.$1,000.00 principal amount of FUNO Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) on or prior to the Early Tender Date. |

The New Notes will be issued in minimum denominations of U.S.$200,000 and in integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof. The New Issuer will not accept any tender that would result in the issuance of less than U.S.$200,000 principal amount of New Notes to a participating holder. As a result, Eligible Holders will be unable to participate if their ownership of FUNO Notes does not meet these minimum requirements.
The New Issuer expects to issue the New Notes in exchange for FUNO Notes tendered and accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offers promptly after the Early Tender Date (the “Early Settlement Date”) and/or promptly after the Expiration Date (the “Final Settlement Date”). The occurrence of the Early Settlement Date will be determined at the New Issuer’s option and is currently expected to occur promptly following the Early Tender Date, subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the New Issuer of the conditions to the Exchange Offers as of the Early Settlement Date. If the New Issuer elects to have an Early Settlement Date, the New Issuer will exchange any remaining FUNO Notes that have been validly tendered and accepted for exchange by the New Issuer in the Exchange Offers after the Early Tender Date but on or prior to the Expiration Date for New Notes issued by the New Issuer on the Final Settlement Date. If the New Issuer elects not to have an Early Settlement Date, the exchange of all FUNO Notes that are validly tendered prior to the Expiration Date and that are accepted for exchange by the New Issuer will be made on the Final Settlement Date. As described above, Eligible Holders who validly tender (and do not validly withdraw) their FUNO Notes, on or prior to the Early Tender Date, and whose FUNO Notes are accepted for exchange by the New Issuer, will receive the Total Consideration, which includes the Early Tender Premium. Eligible Holders who validly tender their FUNO Notes after the Early Tender Date but on or prior to the Expiration Date, and whose FUNO Notes are accepted for exchange by the New Issuer, will receive the Tender Consideration.
The consummation of each Exchange Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions as set forth in the Exchange Offer Memorandum, including General Conditions and the condition that Trust 2401, a Mexican Trust, also known as Fibra NEXT, consummate its initial public offering, as described further under the “Conditions of the Exchange Offers” section in the Exchange Offer Memorandum. In addition, the New Issuer reserves the right to terminate or withdraw the Exchange Offers at any time and for any reason before any FUNO Notes are accepted for exchange, including if any of the other conditions described under “Conditions of the Exchange Offers” in the Exchange Offer Memorandum are not satisfied. The New Issuer may (i) extend, amend, terminate or withdraw any of the Exchange Offers without extending, terminating or withdrawing any other Exchange Offer, and (ii) increase any Maximum Exchange Amount without extending the Withdrawal Deadline or otherwise reinstating withdrawal rights of Eligible Holders of FUNO Notes, except as required by law.
If FUNO Notes are validly tendered by an Eligible Holder (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted by the New Issuer for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offers, such Eligible Holder will not be entitled to receive accrued and unpaid interest in cash paid by the New Issuer on such FUNO Notes on the Early Settlement Date or the Final Settlement Date, as applicable, since interest on the New Notes will accrue from the last interest payment date for the corresponding existing FUNO Notes and will be paid by the New Issuer on the first interest payment date of the corresponding series of New Notes received by such holder in exchange for its FUNO Notes.

Furthermore, no regulatory authority has been requested to confirm the accuracy or adequacy of the Exchange Offer Memorandum. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The holders of FUNO Notes who have certified to the New Issuer that they are eligible to participate in the Exchange Offer pursuant to the foregoing conditions are referred to as “Eligible Holders.”
