3. OTHER BUYER AND STRATEGIC PARTNER OBLIGATIONS.
3.1 The obligations assumed under this Agreement by the Buyer shall in no way
release the Strategic Partner from compliance with its obligations pursuant to
the Operating Documents and the Participation Agreement, expressly those
obligations that derive from Sections 2.3, and 3.4.5 of the Participation

with Nafin in the public offer or offerings or other type of placement with
public investors of the Shares (if and when the Seller holds 49% or less of the
shares representing the capital stock of the Company). To this effect, the Buyer
shall also assume the obligations of the Strategic Partner pursuant to the
Operating Documents and the Participation Agreement, and those that become its
responsibility as a result of the Acquisition of the Additional Shares,
expressly those that derive from Section 2.3 and 3.4.5 of the Participation

Banking and Securities Commission or any equivalent or substitute registry is
carried out, the Buyer, the Strategic Partner, and Nafin shall take all steps
necessary to revise the bylaws of the Holding Company to substantially be under
the terms of Annex "A" to this Agreement, and if applicable, to fit them to any
legal or administrative provision that becomes applicable to carry out any of
the above referenced offers.
3.3 As long as the Additional Shares do not trade on a securities exchange, the
Buyer may transfer the Additional Shares to any third party provided the third
party assumes the responsibilities set forth in this Section 3 in writing to the
Strategic Partner, the Seller and the Federal Government, through the SCT,
including the obligation of the Buyer to co-participate with the Seller so that
through one or more public offerings or other type of placement with public
investors (provided the Seller holds 49% or less of the capital stock of the
Company), (i) the Seller sells the Shares that it owns, and (ii) the Buyer sells
the Additional Shares under the terms set forth in Sections 2.3, 3.4.5 and the
remaining applicable sections of the Participation Agreement.
3.4 The parties agree that at any time, even when the Seller ceases to be a
shareholder of the Holding Company, the Strategic Partner and Aeroinvest shall
require the written consent of the Federal Government acting through the SCT to
contract debt or enter into
any type of agreement through which the Holding Company, the Service Company or
the Concessionaires are limited from making investments in addition to those set
forth in the Master Development Program (as such term is defined in the
Technical Assistance Agreement) or the annual business plans of the Holding
company.
3.5 Aeroinvest as Key Partner under the Participation Agreement and in its
capacity as shareholder of the Additional Shares pursuant to this Contract,
herein recognizes the responsibilities it assumes under the Participation
Agreement expressly including the obligations established in Section 2.3 of the
Participation Agreement as well as that set forth in Section 7 of the Trust
Agreement.
Likewise, Aeroinvest recognizes that; (i) pursuant to Section 12.1.5 of
the Technical Assistance Agreement, any breach of its obligations as Key Partner
under the Participation Agreement shall be considered as an Event of Default
under the Technical Assistance Agreement, including the obligations set forth in
Sections 2.3 and 3.4.5 of the Participation Agreement of the Strategic Partner
and the Key Partners of it; (ii) under the terms of Section 12.3 of the
Technical Assistance Agreement, in case the Strategic Partner or Aeroinvest do
not cure the Event of Default within the term established in the Default Notice
(as defined in Section 12.2 of the Technical Assistance Agreement), the
Strategic Partner shall lose the right to receive the compensation pursuant to
Section 6.2 of the Technical Assistance Agreement for the accounting period
immediately prior during which the Event of Default had occurred as a liquidated
damage for all direct and indirect damages caused to the Airport Group, and
therefore it must reimburse the Service Company within ten (10) calendar days
after request; (iii) additionally if the breach continues for another thirty
(30) calendar days after the date on which the Strategic Partner or Aeroinvest
must remedy them, the Strategic Partner and any Related Person to the Strategic
Partner, including Aeroinvest, shall lose the right to exercise the option to
acquire the Optional Shares under the terms of the Option Agreement, and unless
the option has been transmitted under the terms of the Option Contract and those
registered holders of the option are not Related Parties to the Strategic
Partner, the Option Contract shall be considered terminated; (iv) in case the
Event of Default continues for three (3) months after the Option Contract
terminates pursuant to subsection (iii) immediately above, the Airport group
through its Delegate of the Audit Committee may send the Strategic Partner a
written notice through which (a) the Operating Documents are terminated and the
Holding Company is awarded as a payment for the direct and indirect damages
incurred through instructions sent to the Trustee, the proceeds of the sale of
5% (five percent) of the series "BB" Shares held in the Trust, in which case,
such Shares shall automatically be converted into series "B" Shares of the
Holding Company and the Strategic Partner may freely dispose of them to third
parties, or (b) if applicable, it demands the specific performance of the
breached responsibility or the payment of the corresponding direct and indirect
damages.
Aeroinvest hereby recognizes that pursuant to the terms of Section 7.1 of
the Trust Agreement, if the Holding Company has knowledge of an event of any
default that constitutes an Event of Default by the Strategic Partner or by the
Key Partners, pursuant to the Participation Agreement, and the Operating
Documents are anticipatorily terminated or in case of specific performance of
the obligation regarding which the breach pertains, the
Holding Company, for itself or by the Federal Government, may instruct the
Trustee so that it proceeds with the sale of 5% (five percent) of the Shares
subject to the Trust Agreement (as defined in the Trust Agreement) and so that
it delivers the proceeds of such sale as full payment for the direct and
indirect damages that were caused by such breach by the Strategic Partner or the
Key Partners. In the event the shares representing the capital stock of the
Holding Company are traded on any securities exchange, the Trustee shall carry
out the sale of the aforementioned Entrusted Shares through the exchange
procedures at the sale price that results from the application of the provisions
issued by the National Banking and Securities Commission related to the exercise
of the withdrawal right. In case of the contrary, the Trustee shall follow a
public bidding procedure pursuant to the World Bank rules. After the Trustee
makes the sale referred to in this paragraph, and only if the Operating
Documents are anticipatorily terminated, the remaining Entrusted Shares (as
defined in the Trust Agreement) held under the Trust Agreement shall
automatically be converted into series "B" shares and the Strategic Partner may
freely dispose of them to third parties.
3.6 EMICA hereby agrees to be co-obligee regarding each and every one of the
Aeroinvest obligations derived from the acquisition of the Additional Shares
through this Agreement, including without limitation, the obligations set forth
in the Participation Agreements and the Operating Documents.
Likewise, EMICA is obligated hereby to carry out each and every one of the
acts and to adopt all those agreements that are advisable or necessary for full
compliance by Aeroinvest of each and every one of its obligations under the
credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") dated December 14, 2005 in the amount
of One Hundred Twenty Five Million U.S. Dollars (US$125,000,000.00) between,
among others, Aeroinvest as borrower and WestLB AG, New York Branch as creditor
and administrative agent, including the direct performance of them so that
Aeroinvest holds the Additional Shares and the corporate rights that correspond
to them. Therefore, on the same date as the Credit Agreement, EMICA became a
joint obligor as to the Aeroinvest obligations in the Credit Agreement through a
written guarantee between EMICA and WestLB AG New York Branch (Guarantee) dated
December 14, 2005, which obligation shall remain in full force and effect during
the term of the Credit Agreement or any other credit that substitutes for the
Credit Agreement.
The parties agree that (A) as long as Aeroinvest remains direct or
indirect owner of the Additional Shares, Aeroinvest shall exercise its right to
vote for the same, with the understanding that it may agree to vote them the
same way as the Shares belonging to the Strategic Partner are voted; (B) in the
event the Additional Shares are granted to a trust, Aeroinvest as beneficiary of
the Additional Shares under the same or any other similar instrument, as long as
it has not received a notice of default under the terms of the respective trust
from the trustee of the same, Aeroinvest shall instruct the trustee of the trust
as to the form of exercising the vote of the Additional Shares, with the
understanding that it may instruct the trustee to vote such Additional Shares
the same as the Shares of the Strategic Partner are voted; and (C) in case the
Additional Shares are held in a trust in conformance with subsection B above,
and a notice of default under the respective trust agreement has been received,
the beneficiary of the same shall instruct the trustee to vote
the Additional Shares, with the understanding that the Additional Shares must
always be voted the same way as the Shares of the Strategic Partner are voted,
provided it does not affect the performance of the guaranteed obligations under
the Credit Agreement, or limit in any manner the capacity of Aeroinvest to
comply with its obligations under the Credit Agreement.
