We refer to our offer, and the terms and conditions of this document and related letter of transmittal, as the offer.
If you want to tender your appreciation warrants or ADWs into the offer, you should:
| specify a price not greater than Ps8.10 per appreciation warrant (U.S.$ equivalent of Ps40.50 per ADW) nor less than Ps5.10 per appreciation warrant (U.S.$ equivalent of Ps25.50 per ADW) at which you are willing to tender your appreciation warrants or ADWs (prices may only be specified in increments of Ps0.30 per appreciation warrant (U.S.$ equivalent of Ps1.50 per ADW)), |

See The Offer2. Procedures for Tendering Appreciation Warrants and ADWs.
In the case of ADWs held in certificated form, you may tender the ADWs registered in your name on the books of the U.S. tender agent by delivering to the U.S. tender agent a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal or a manually executed facsimile of it, together with the applicable signature guarantees from an eligible guarantor institution, and the certificate evidencing the ADWs specified in the accompanying letter of transmittal, in each case, on or prior to the expiration date. See The Offer2. Procedures for Tendering Appreciation Warrants and ADWs.

SUMMARY
We are providing this summary for your convenience. It highlights material information in this document, but you should realize that it does not describe all the details of the offer to the same extent that they are described in the body of this document. We urge you to read the entire document and the related letter of transmittal because they contain the full details of the offer. Where helpful, we have included references to the sections of this document where you will find a more complete discussion.
Who is offering to purchase my securities?
CEMEX, S.A. de C.V. We are offering to purchase at the selected purchase price (as defined below) all of our appreciation warrants (including appreciation warrants represented by ADWs) that are tendered in the offer at or below the selected purchase price. As of November 17, 2003, there were 103,790,945 appreciation warrants outstanding (including appreciation warrants represented by ADWs). All appreciation warrants we purchase in the offer will be purchased directly by us, and all ADWs we purchase in the offer will be purchased by CEMEX, Inc., our wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary.
What is the purchase price?
The price range for the offer is Ps5.10 per appreciation warrant (U.S.$ equivalent of Ps25.50 per ADW) (the closing price of the appreciation warrants on the Mexican Stock Exchange on September 30, 2003, the date we announced our intention to initiate a tender offer for our appreciation warrants) to Ps8.10 per appreciation warrant (U.S.$ equivalent of Ps40.50 per ADW) (the theoretical value of an appreciation warrant on November 15, 2003, calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model, assuming a volatility of 35%, a risk-free rate of 1.3%, a dividend yield of 0% and the highest sales price of our American Depositary Shares, or ADSs, each ADS representing five of our Ordinary Participation Certificates, or CPOs, on the New York Stock Exchange during September 2003, which was U.S.$26.20, translated into Pesos at an exchange rate of Ps11.13 to U.S.$1.00, which was the Peso/Dollar spot exchange rate reported by Bloomberg on November 12, 2003).
We are conducting the offer through a procedure commonly called a modified Dutch Auction.
| This procedure allows you to select the price, within a price range specified by us, at which you are willing to sell your appreciation warrants or ADWs. |
| We will look at the prices chosen by eligible holders of appreciation warrants and ADWs, which are all holders of appreciation warrants and ADWs, other than our executive officers, directors, subsidiaries and two of our employee pension funds over which we exercise investment discretion, which we refer to as the employee pension funds. As of November 5, 2003, of the 103,790,945 outstanding appreciation warrants (including appreciation warrants represented by ADWs), 56,616,253 appreciation warrants (including appreciation warrants represented by ADWs) were held by eligible holders. We will then determine the purchase price, which will be either (1) the lowest price that will enable us to purchase at least eighty percent of the appreciation warrants (including appreciation warrants represented by ADWs) beneficially owned by eligible holders on November 5, 2003 (or 45,293,003 appreciation warrants), or (2) if less than eighty percent of the appreciation warrants (including appreciation warrants represented by ADWs) beneficially owned by eligible holders on November 5, 2003 (or 45,293,003 appreciation warrants) are validly tendered, the highest price at which any appreciation warrant (including appreciation warrants represented by ADWs) is validly tendered by an eligible holder. We refer to the purchase price determined by us as described above as the selected purchase price. |
| We and CEMEX, Inc. will purchase all appreciation warrants and ADWs, respectively, that are validly tendered at prices at or below the selected purchase price and not properly withdrawn, including appreciation warrants and ADWs validly tendered, and not properly withdrawn, by persons that are not |
1
eligible holders. All appreciation warrants and ADWs we purchase will be purchased at the selected purchase price, even if you have chosen a lower price, but we will not purchase any appreciation warrants or ADWs tendered at a price above the selected purchase price. For purposes of determining the selected purchase price only, appreciation warrants and ADWs beneficially owned by persons that are not eligible holders will not be taken into account. |
| If you wish to ensure that your appreciation warrants or ADWs will be purchased, you should check the box next to the minimum purchase price of Ps5.10 per appreciation warrant (U.S.$ equivalent of Ps25.50 per ADW) in the pricing section of the Indeval participant tender letter, letter of transmittal or agents message, as applicable. See The Offer1. Number of Appreciation Warrants and ADWs; Price. |
How and when will I be paid?
If your appreciation warrants or ADWs are purchased in the offer, you will be paid the purchase price, in cash, without interest, as soon as practicable after the expiration of the offer period and the acceptance of the appreciation warrants or ADWs, as applicable, for payment. In the case of appreciation warrants, we will pay the purchase price in Mexican Pesos for the appreciation warrants to the Mexican broker-dealer tendering the appreciation warrants, which will act as your agent for the purpose of receiving payment from us and transmitting payment to you. In the case of ADWs, we will pay the purchase price in Mexican Pesos for the ADWs to the U.S. tender agent, which will act as your agent for the purpose of receiving payment from us and transmitting payment to you. The U.S. tender agent will arrange for the conversion of the purchase price paid in Mexican Pesos in respect of appreciation warrants underlying ADWs purchased in the offer into U.S. Dollars at an exchange rate available to it on the payment date for subsequent delivery to you. Neither we nor the U.S. tender agent are responsible for the U.S. tender agent in fact being able to convert Mexican Pesos received for U.S. Dollars, as a result of exchange controls or otherwise, or for the exchange rate at which such conversion ultimately occurs. There may also be tax consequences to receiving the purchase price in the offer, particularly, if you tender appreciation warrants, rather than ADWs, in the offer and you are a non-resident of Mexico for tax purposes. See Special Factors8. Income Tax Consequences,The Offer1. Number of Appreciation Warrants and ADWs; Price, 2. Procedures for Tendering Appreciation Warrants and ADWs, 4. Purchase of Appreciation Warrants and ADWs; Payment of Purchase Price.
How many appreciation warrants and ADWs will CEMEX purchase in all?
We will purchase at the selected purchase price all appreciation warrants and ADWs that are tendered at or below the selected purchase price and not properly withdrawn, including appreciation warrants and ADWs tendered by persons that are not eligible holders. However, for purposes of determining the purchase price, the prices at which appreciation warrants and ADWs beneficially owned by persons that are not eligible holders are tendered will not be taken into account. As of November 5, 2003, of the 103,790,945 outstanding appreciation warrants, 30,708,913 appreciation warrants (including appreciation warrants represented by ADWs) were held by our subsidiaries and 4,217,516 appreciation warrants (including appreciation warrants represented by ADWs) were held by the employee pension funds. We intend for our subsidiaries and the employee pension funds to tender all their appreciation warrants and ADWs in the tender offer. As of November 5, 2003, our executive officers and directors as a group beneficially owned an aggregate of 12,248,263 appreciation warrants (including appreciation warrants represented by ADWs), which represent approximately 11.80% of the outstanding appreciation warrants. Our executive officers, directors, subsidiaries and the employee pension funds are not considered eligible holders and the prices at which they tender appreciation warrants and ADWs beneficially owned by them will not be taken into account for purposes of determining the purchase price; however, we will purchase all appreciation warrants and ADWs tendered by them at or below our selected purchase price.
2
All appreciation warrants purchased by CEMEX in the offer will be cancelled. ADWs purchased by CEMEX Inc. in the offer may be held until maturity or may be transferred to CEMEX.
Is there a minimum number of appreciation warrants or ADWs that must be tendered in order for CEMEX to purchase any appreciation warrants?
No. The offer is not conditioned on any minimum number of appreciation warrants or ADWs being tendered. The offer is, however, subject to other conditions. See The Offer1. Number of Appreciation Warrants and ADWs; Price and 5. Conditions of the Offer.
If I tender my appreciation warrants or ADWs, how many of my appreciation warrants or ADWs will CEMEX purchase?
We will purchase all appreciation warrants and ADWs validly tendered and not properly withdrawn at or below the purchase price we select, including appreciation warrants and ADWs tendered by persons that are not eligible holders. We will return all appreciation warrants and ADWs not purchased as promptly as practicable after the offer is completed or terminated.
How will CEMEX pay for the appreciation warrants and ADWs?
We would need a maximum of Ps840.7 million (U.S.$75.4 million) to purchase all the validly issued appreciation warrants outstanding (including appreciation warrants represented by ADWs) at the maximum price of Ps8.10 per appreciation warrant (U.S.$ equivalent of Ps40.50 per ADW), other than the appreciation warrants (including appreciation warrants represented by ADWs) beneficially owned by our subsidiaries. For purposes of calculating the maximum aggregate purchase price, the 30,708,913 appreciation warrants (including appreciation warrants represented by ADWs) beneficially owned by our subsidiaries have been excluded as the intercompany transaction will have no financial or accounting effect on us. We will use cash on hand from the proceeds of our October 2003 public equity offering to pay for all appreciation warrants and ADWs we purchase in the offer.
How long do I have to tender my appreciation warrants or ADWs to CEMEX?
You will have at least until 4:15 p.m., New York City time, which is 3:15 p.m., Mexico City time, on December 17, 2003 to decide whether to tender your appreciation warrants or ADWs in the offer, but we may choose to extend the expiration date at any time for a period of up to three months, subject to applicable regulatory approvals. We cannot assure you that we will extend the offer or, if we extend it, for how long it will be extended. There will be no guaranteed delivery procedures permitting delivery after the expiration date. See The Offer1. Number of Appreciation Warrants and ADWs; Price and 12. Extension of the Offer; Termination; Amendment.
How will I be notified if the offer is extended?
If we extend the offer, we will inform Acciones y Valores de México, S.A. de C.V., Casa de Bolsa, Integrante del Grupo Financiero Banamex, or Accival, which is the Mexican dealer manager for the offer, and Citibank, N.A., or Citibank, which is the U.S. tender agent for the offer, of that fact and will make a public announcement of the extension, not later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, which is 8:00 a.m., Mexico City time, on the business day after the day on which the offer was scheduled to expire. See The Offer12. Extension of the Offer; Termination; Amendment.
How do I tender my appreciation warrants or ADWs?
To tender your appreciation warrants or ADWs, you must complete one of the actions described under Important on the inside front cover of this document before the offer expires. You may also contact the
3
information agent or your broker for assistance. The contact information for the information agent is on the back page of this document. See The Offer2. Procedures for Tendering Appreciation Warrants and ADWs and the instructions to the Indeval participant tender letter, letter of transmittal or agents message, as applicable.
Once I have tendered appreciation warrants or ADWs in the offer, can I change my mind?
Yes. If you tender your appreciation warrants or ADWs and change your mind, you may withdraw previously tendered appreciation warrants or ADWs, as the case may be, at any time before the offer expires. In addition, after the offer expires, if we have not accepted for payment the appreciation warrants or ADWs you have tendered to us, you may withdraw your appreciation warrants or ADWs, as the case may be, at any time after 4:15 p.m., New York City time, which is 3:15 p.m., Mexico City time, on January 15, 2004. See The Offer3. Withdrawal Rights.
To withdraw appreciation warrants, you must timely deliver a written notice of your withdrawal to the Mexican broker-dealer acting on your behalf in the offer and instruct such Mexican broker-dealer to deliver a notice of withdrawal to the Mexican dealer manager at its address appearing on the back page of this document. To withdraw ADWs, you must timely deliver a written notice of your withdrawal to the U.S. tender agent at its address appearing on the back page of this document. Your notice of withdrawal must specify your name, the number of appreciation warrants or ADWs to be withdrawn and the name of the registered holder of the appreciation warrants or ADWs, as the case may be. Some additional requirements apply if certificates for ADWs to be withdrawn have been delivered to the U.S. tender agent. See The Offer3. Withdrawal Rights.
What does CEMEXs board of directors think of the offer?
Our board of directors has approved the offer. However, neither we nor our board of directors, CEMEX, Inc., the U.S. dealer manager, the Mexican dealer manager, the U.S. tender agent or the information agent or their respective affiliates is making any recommendation regarding whether you should tender or not tender your appreciation warrants or ADWs or at what price you should choose to tender your appreciation warrants or ADWs. You must decide whether to tender your appreciation warrants or ADWs and, if so, how many appreciation warrants or ADWs to tender and the price or prices at which you will tender them. You should discuss whether to tender your appreciation warrants or ADWs with your broker or other financial or tax advisor.
Our directors are entitled to participate in the offer; however, for purposes of determining the purchase price, the prices at which they tender appreciation warrants or ADWs beneficially owned by them will not be taken into account.
Why is CEMEX making the offer?
The offer has two principal purposes: first, to simplify the ability of third parties to value CEMEX on a per-share basis by reducing the impact of, and uncertainty created by, the outstanding appreciation warrants and ADWs; and second, to offer holders of appreciation warrants and ADWs the opportunity to sell their appreciation warrants or ADWs at or above a price selected by them (within the price range set by us in the offer) without the usual transaction costs and liquidity limitations associated with open-market sales of the appreciation warrants and ADWs.
Does the offer relate to CEMEXs outstanding CPOs or ADSs?
No. The offer relates solely to our appreciation warrants and ADWs. The offer does not relate to any of our other securities, including our outstanding CPOs or ADSs. After the offer is completed, our CPOs will continue to be listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange and our ADSs will continue to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
4
What is the market value of my appreciation warrants and ADWs as of a recent date?
The appreciation warrants are listed and traded on the Mexican Stock Exchange under the symbol CMX412E-DC062. The ADWs representing appreciation warrants are listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol CX-WSB.
On November 14, 2003, the last full trading day on the Mexican Stock Exchange prior to the commencement of the offer, the last reported sales price of the appreciation warrants on the Mexican Stock Exchange was Ps5.70 (U.S.$0.51) per appreciation warrant. On November 14, 2003, the last full trading day on the New York Stock Exchange prior to the commencement of the offer, the closing price per ADW reported on the New York Stock Exchange was $2.35 per ADW. We urge you to obtain current market quotations for the appreciation warrants and ADWs. For trading information regarding the appreciation warrants and ADWs, you may call Global Bondholder Services Corporation, our information agent for the offer, toll free at (866) 470-4100, or Citigroup Global Markets Inc., the U.S. dealer manager for the offer, at (212) 816-6849. See The Offer6. Price Range of Appreciation Warrants.
How does the purchase price compare to the amounts I could receive under the terms of the appreciation warrants and ADWs?
Under the terms of the appreciation warrants and ADWs, you are entitled to receive any appreciation value of the appreciation warrants and ADWs on December 21, 2004, the maturity date for the appreciation warrants and ADWs or upon the occurrence of a mandatory early redemption of the appreciation warrants and ADWs. Any appreciation value to which you are entitled under the appreciation warrants and ADWs will be distributed to you in form of CPOs if you hold appreciation warrants or ADSs if you hold ADWs. Whether and to the extent you will receive any appreciation value depends on the market price of our CPOs. If no mandatory redemption of the appreciation warrants and ADWs takes place, unless the market price of our CPOs on December 21, 2004 is above the strike price for the appreciation warrants, which is approximately U.S.$5.45 (Ps60.68), your appreciation warrants and ADWs will expire and you will receive nothing. If the market price of our CPOs on December 21, 2004 exceeds the strike price, you will receive an appreciation value under the appreciation warrants and ADWs in an amount equal to the difference between the market price and the strike price. In order for you to receive an appreciation value under the appreciation warrants and ADWs in an amount equal to Ps5.10 per appreciation warrant (U.S.$ equivalent of Ps25.50 per ADW), the minimum price we will pay in the offer, the market price of our CPOs on December 21, 2004 would have to be approximately Ps65.31 per CPO. In order for you to receive an appreciation value under the appreciation warrants and ADWs in an amount equal to Ps8.10 per appreciation warrant (U.S.$ equivalent of Ps40.50 per ADW), the maximum price we will pay in the offer, the market price of our CPOs on December 21, 2004 would have to be approximately Ps68.03 per CPO. If on any date prior to December 21, 2004 the market price of our CPOs equals or exceeds the triggering level for the appreciation warrants, which is approximately U.S.$7.26 (Ps80.91), the appreciation warrants and ADWs will be mandatorily redeemed by us and you will receive U.S.$2.00 (Ps22.29) per appreciation warrant (U.S.$10.00 (Ps111.43) per ADW), which is the maximum appreciation value you could receive under the appreciation warrants and ADWs. For a summary description of the important terms of the appreciation warrants, see Annex A Key Terms of Appreciation Warrants.
Will I have to pay brokerage commissions or stock transfer taxes if I tender my appreciation warrants or ADWs in the offer?
You will not need to pay any brokerage commissions in connection with the tender of appreciation warrants in the offer itself, but you may need to pay fees to your agent or the relevant Mexican broker-dealer, depending upon your arrangements. Also, you will not be obligated to pay any stock transfer taxes in connection with a tender of appreciation warrants.
5
If you are a registered holder of ADWs and tender your ADWs directly to the U.S. tender agent, you will not need to pay any brokerage commissions or stock transfer taxes. If you hold ADWs through a broker or bank, however, you should ask your broker or bank whether you will be charged a fee to tender your ADWs. See The Offer2. Procedures for Tendering Appreciation Warrants and ADWs.
If you instruct the U.S. tender agent in the letter of transmittal to make the payment for the ADWs to the registered holder, you will not incur any brokerage commissions or stock transfer taxes. See The Offer4. Purchase of Appreciation Warrants and ADWs; Payment of Purchase Price.
What are the tax consequences of tendering appreciation warrants and ADWs?
Holders of appreciation warrants may be required to pay taxes in Mexico in connection with a tender of appreciation warrants in the offer, particularly if such holders are non-residents of Mexico for tax purposes. Holders of ADWs who are non-residents of Mexico for tax purposes will not be required to pay any taxes in Mexico in connection with a tender of ADWs to CEMEX, Inc. in the offer. See Special Factors8. Income Tax ConsequencesMexican Tax Consequences.
A U.S. holder, as defined in this document, will generally be subject to U.S. federal income taxation upon the receipt of cash from us in exchange for the appreciation warrants or ADWs tendered. The cash received will be treated as a sale or exchange eligible for capital gains treatment. See Special Factors8. Income Tax ConsequencesU.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.
What are the effects of the offer on the market for the appreciation warrants and ADWs?
Depending on the number of appreciation warrants and ADWs tendered and accepted in the offer, the appreciation warrants and the ADWs may be held by fewer than 300 persons. Consequently, the appreciation warrants and the ADWs may be subject to delisting from the New York Stock Exchange; however, the appreciation warrants will continue to be listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange. If the ADWs are delisted from the New York Stock Exchange, we may decide to terminate the ADW deposit agreement under which the ADWs are issued, which would further reduce the liquidity of the ADWs and eliminate the ability to trade and settle the trades of ADWs. In addition, the ADWs and appreciation warrants may be eligible for deregistration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act.
If I decide not to tender, how will the offer affect my appreciation warrants or ADWs?
If our appreciation warrants and ADWs are delisted from the New York Stock Exchange following completion of the offer, there would likely be no active public market in which to trade your ADWs; however, the appreciation warrants will continue to be publicly traded on the Mexican Stock Exchange.

SPECIAL FACTORS
1. Background of the Offer
On September 25, 2003, our management informed our board of directors of the possibility of repurchasing our appreciation warrants and ADWs by means of an issuer tender offer, depending on the outcome of our non-dilutive equity offering and on the liquidation of forward contracts relating to the securities underlying the offering. At meetings on October 17, 2003 and October 22, 2003, management was provided with information from special counsel regarding a potential issuer tender offer.
On October 30, 2003, the board of directors met to review and consider the proposed transaction. At that meeting, management presented all relevant information in respect of the terms and conditions of the proposed transaction. Management also provided the board of directors with information regarding the proposed price range of Ps5.10 per appreciation warrant (U.S.$ equivalent of Ps25.50 per ADW) to Ps8.10 per appreciation warrant (U.S.$ equivalent of Ps40.50 per ADW). The board, by unanimous vote, determined to approve the offer.
2. Purposes and Reasons for the Offer
The offer has two principal purposes: first, to simplify the ability of third parties to value CEMEX on a per-share basis by reducing the impact of, and uncertainty created by, the outstanding appreciation warrants and ADWs; and second, to offer holders of appreciation warrants and ADWs the opportunity to sell their appreciation warrants or ADWs at or above a price selected by them (within the price range set by us in the offer) without the usual transaction costs and liquidity limitations associated with open-market sales of the appreciation warrants and ADWs.
Based upon the current market price of our CPOs and ADSs, we believe that the purchase of appreciation warrants and ADWs is an attractive use of funds on behalf of our shareholders and is consistent with our long-term goal of increasing value for holders of our appreciation warrants and ADWs as well as for our shareholders.
After evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of the offer as a way to attempt to maximize shareholder value, we believe that the purchase of appreciation warrants and ADWs pursuant to the offer is a positive action that is intended to accomplish the desired objectives. Given the current illiquidity in the trading market for our appreciation warrants and ADWs, the board determined this was a better alternative than attempting to repurchase our appreciation warrants and ADWs through small open market repurchases.
The offer will provide holders of appreciation warrants or ADWs who are considering a sale of all or a portion of their appreciation warrants or ADWs the opportunity to determine the price or prices (not greater than Ps8.10 per appreciation warrant (U.S.$ equivalent of Ps40.50 per ADW) nor less than Ps5.10 per appreciation warrant (U.S.$ equivalent of Ps25.50 per ADW) ) at which they are willing to sell their appreciation warrants or ADWs and, if any such appreciation warrants or ADWs are purchased pursuant to the offer, to sell those appreciation warrants or ADWs for cash without the usual transaction costs associated with open-market sales.
For holders of appreciation warrants or ADWs who do not tender, there is no assurance that the price of the appreciation warrants and ADWs will not trade below the price being offered pursuant to the offer, nor is there any assurance that there will be an active public market in which to trade appreciation warrants or ADWs. For holders of appreciation warrants or ADWs who do tender, the appreciation value of the appreciation warrants and ADWs upon maturity may be greater than the price being offered pursuant to the offer; also, for holders of appreciation warrants who do not tender, the appreciation warrants and ADWs may be mandatorily redeemed by us if the market price of our CPOs reaches the triggering level for the appreciation warrants and ADWs, in which case the appreciation value would be U.S.$2.00 (Ps22.29) per appreciation warrant (U.S.$10.00 (Ps111.43) per ADW). For a summary description of the important terms of the appreciation warrants, see Annex A Key Terms of Appreciation Warrants.
8
Neither we nor our board of directors, CEMEX, Inc., the U.S. dealer manager, the Mexican dealer manager, the U.S. tender agent, the information agent or their respective affiliates make any recommendation to any holder of appreciation warrants or ADWs as to whether to tender or not tender any appreciation warrants or ADWs or as to the price or prices at which holders of appreciation warrants or ADWs may choose to tender their appreciation warrants or ADWs. We have not authorized any person to make any such recommendation. Holders of appreciation warrants and ADWs should carefully evaluate all information in the offer, consult their own investment and tax advisors, and make their own decisions about whether to tender appreciation warrants or ADWs and, if so, how many appreciation warrants or ADWs to tender and the price or prices at which to tender.
3. Fairness of the Offer
We believe the offer is fair and equitable and in the best interests of CEMEX and all holders of appreciation warrants and ADWs, including unaffiliated holders. We took into account a number of factors, including the following, in reaching our belief that the offer is fair and in the best interest of CEMEX and of all holders of appreciation warrants and ADWs, including unaffiliated holders:
(i) | Our financial condition and results of operations, including our earnings per share and capital levels for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the first nine months of 2003 as well as our published earnings targets for the full year 2003. |
(ii) | Our calculation of the theoretical value of an appreciation warrant on November 15, 2003, computed using the Black-Scholes pricing model, assuming a volatility of 35%, a risk-free rate of 1.3%, a dividend yield of 0% and the highest sales price of our ADSs on the New York Stock Exchange during September 2003, which was U.S.$26.20, translated into Pesos at an exchange rate of Ps11.13 to U.S.$1.00, which was the Peso/Dollar spot exchange rate reported by Bloomberg on November 12, 2003. |
The Black-Scholes pricing model is one of a number of valuation models that have been developed to estimate the value of options and other equity-linked securities based on assumed levels of volatility, interest rates and dividend rates in the future, and therefore the estimated valuation that the Black-Scholes model produces depends on judgments or approximations about these future events. However, the Black-Scholes model and other similar models are intended to estimate the value of options and other equity-linked securities that are both freely transferable and held by a financial institution or similar entity that has the ability to enter into offsetting hedging transactions. Given the limited liquidity of our appreciation warrants and ADWs and the nature of the holders of our appreciation warrants and ADWs, there is no guarantee that our appreciation warrants and ADWs have either of these characteristics. |
(iii) | The percentage by which the per appreciation warrant (or per ADW) price to be paid in the offer exceeds recent trading prices and estimated trading values. |
(iv) | The likelihood of payments being made under the appreciation warrants at their scheduled maturity in December 2004 or upon an earlier mandatory redemption. |
(v) | The likelihood that the transaction would be consummated and therefore reduce the number of CPOs and ADSs that would be deliverable upon maturity or early redemption of the appreciation warrants and ADWs. |
(vi) | The fact that the offer is a voluntary transaction in which holders of our appreciation warrants and ADWs may or may not participate. |
(vii) | The limited trading market for our appreciation warrants and ADWs, including limited liquidity, relatively low prices and trading volume. |

In view of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the offer, we have found it impractical to, and therefore have not, quantified or otherwise attempted to assign relative weights to the specific factors considered in reaching our belief that the offer is fair and equitable and in the best interests of CEMEX and all holders of appreciation warrants and ADWs. We have also relied on the advice of Citigroup with respect to the pricing and structure of the offer set forth below under Special Factors4. View of Financial Advisor.
In addition, we believe that our decision to exclude from the price determination formula the prices at which appreciation warrants or ADWs are tendered by our executive officers, directors, subsidiaries and the employee pension funds ensures that the modified Dutch Auction pricing dynamics are driven solely by independent holders of our appreciation warrants and ADWs.
Our board of directors, a majority of whom are non-employee directors, has unanimously approved the offer. Our non-employee directors have not retained an unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of the unaffiliated holders of appreciation warrants and ADWs for purposes of negotiating terms of the offer. The offer does not require the approval of a majority of unaffiliated holders of appreciation warrants and ADWs.
4. View of Financial Advisor
In October 2003, we retained Citigroup, an investment banking firm, on the basis of its experience in the United States and global markets, as U.S. dealer manager for the offer and to advise us as to certain issues related to the proposed pricing and structure of the offer.
Citigroup reviewed our proposed structure and pricing for a cash tender offer for the appreciation warrants and ADWs and certain precedent transactions and publicly available information. Based on that and Citigroups experience in transactions of this type, Citigroup believes that the proposed modified Dutch auction procedure facilitates a market driven price determination that would reflect the views of warrant holders regarding the appropriate value of the appreciation warrants and ADWs. The exclusion of the tender of management and company-owned warrants from the price determination procedure ensures that the tender pricing dynamics are driven by independent warrant holders only.
The appreciation warrant prices of Ps5.10 to Ps8.10 reflect a range with a minimum price that is indicative of recent market prices of the appreciation warrants (on November 14, 2003, the closing price of the appreciation warrants on the Mexican Stock Exchange was Ps5.70 per appreciation warrant) and the maximum appreciation warrant price indicative of CEMEXs belief as to the value of the appreciation warrants and ADWs if the market price of the ADSs exceeds U.S.$26.20. Citigroup believes that the maximum price is a reasonable attempt to provide a financial incentive for holders to tender appreciation warrants and ADWs in a situation where the price of the CPOs and ADSs appreciates back to its high trading price range that occurred in September 2003.
In conducting its review, Citigroup reviewed and relied upon (i) a draft of the Schedule TO relating to the proposed tender offer, which Citigroup assumed would correspond in all material respects to the Schedule TO filed with the SEC; (ii) publicly available information with respect to the historical trading prices of the appreciation warrants, the ADWs, the CPOs and the ADSs; and (iii) certain precedent transactions.
Citigroup will not be separately compensated for providing us with this advice apart from its compensation as U.S. dealer manager for the offer. In the past, Citigroup has provided investment banking and advisory services for us from time to time for which its has received customary fees and expenses. Citigroup may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for us in the ordinary course of its business.

5. Our Plans After the Offer.
It is expected that following the offer, our business and operations will be continued substantially as they are currently being conducted by management. Except for the offer and as otherwise described in this document or in the documents incorporated by reference herein, we do not have any present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in:
| an extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving us or any of our subsidiaries, |
| a purchase, sale or transfer of an amount of our assets or any of our subsidiaries assets that would be material to us and our subsidiaries taken as a whole, |
| a material change in our present dividend rate or policy, or in our indebtedness or capitalization, |
| a change in our present board of directors or management, |
| a material change in our corporate structure or business, or |
| a change in our by-laws or other governing documents or an action that could impede the acquisition of control of us. |
At the completion of the offer, depending on the number of appreciation warrants and ADWs tendered and accepted in the offer, the appreciation warrants and the ADWs may be held by fewer than 300 persons. Consequently, the appreciation warrants and the ADWs may be subject to delisting from the New York Stock Exchange. In addition, the ADWs and appreciation warrants may be eligible for deregistration under the Exchange Act. See Special Factors6. Effects of the Offer below and The Offer10. Effects of the Offer on the Market for Our Appreciation Warrants; Registration Under the Exchange Act.
Although we do not currently have any plans, other than as described in this document, that relate to or would result in any of the events discussed above, as we continue to evaluate opportunities for increasing shareholder value we may undertake or plan actions that relate to or could result in one or more of these events.
6. Effects of the Offer
As we described above, the offer will reduce the number of issued and outstanding appreciation warrants and ADWs. Depending on the number of appreciation warrants and ADWs tendered and accepted in the offer, the appreciation warrants and the ADWs may be subject to delisting from the New York Stock Exchange. In the event the appreciation warrants and ADWs are delisted from the New York Stock Exchange, the appreciation warrants and ADWs outstanding after the offer may not be admitted to trading or quotation on any U.S. national securities exchange or association, and there will be limited trading information and market liquidity regarding the ADWs; however, the appreciation warrants will continue to be listed and traded on the Mexican Stock Exchange.
You may be able to sell appreciation warrants and ADWs that you do not tender or that are otherwise not purchased in the offer. We cannot predict or assure you, however, as to the price at which you will be able to sell your appreciation warrants or ADWs, which may be higher or lower than the purchase price paid by us in the offer. Consummation of the offer will further reduce the liquidity of the appreciation warrants and ADWs, and there can be no assurance that holders of appreciation warrants and ADWs, will be able to find willing buyers for their appreciation warrants or ADWs after the offer. In addition, if the ADWs are delisted from the New York Stock Exchange, as discussed above, we may decide to terminate the ADW deposit agreement under which the ADWs are issued, which would further reduce the liquidity of the ADWs and eliminate the ability to trade and settle the trades of ADWs. See The Offer10. Effects of the Offer on the Market for our Appreciation Warrants; Registration under the Exchange Act.
11
Following completion of the offer, we may repurchase additional appreciation warrants and ADWs in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Future purchases may be on terms that are more or less favorable to holders of our appreciation warrants and ADWs than the offer. However, SEC Rules 14e-5 and 13e-4 generally prohibit us and our affiliates from purchasing any appreciation warrants outside of the offer until ten business days after the expiration date of the offer, although there are some exceptions. Any future purchases will depend on many factors, which include market conditions and the condition of our business.
7. Interest of Directors and Executive Officers; Transactions and Arrangements Concerning Appreciation Warrants and ADWs.
Interest of Directors and Executive Officers
Information about our directors and executive officers, including information relating to their beneficial ownership of appreciation warrants (including appreciation warrants represented by ADWs) is set forth in Schedule I to this document. As of November 5, 2003, our executive officers and directors as a group beneficially owned an aggregate of 12,248,263 appreciation warrants (including appreciation warrants represented by ADWs), which represent approximately 11.80% of the outstanding appreciation warrants.
Our directors and executive officers are entitled to participate in the offer; however, for purposes of determining the purchase price, they are not considered eligible holders and the prices at which they tender appreciation warrants or ADWs beneficially owned by them will not be taken into account.
Repurchases of Appreciation Warrants and ADWs
On February 12, 2003, Centro Distribuidor de Cemento, S.A. de C.V., or CEDICE, one of our wholly-owned Mexican subsidiaries, purchased 4,306,209 appreciation warrants at price of Ps3.70 per appreciation warrant. On April 11, 2003, CEDICE purchased 327,303 ADWs (representing 1,636,515 appreciation warrants) at price of U.S.$1.618 per ADW (Ps3.61 per appreciation warrant). On April 14, 2003, CEDICE purchased 22,794,504 appreciation warrants) at price of Ps3.70 per appreciation warrant. On April 28, 2003, CEDICE purchased 52,826 ADWs (representing 264,130 appreciation warrants) at price of U.S.$1.618 per ADW (Ps3.61 per appreciation warrant).
Recent Transactions in Appreciation Warrants and ADWs.
On October 15, 2003, Jorge Garcia Segovia, a member of our board of directors, purchased 49,000 appreciation warrants on the Mexican Stock Exchange at a price of Ps4.95 per appreciation warrant. Other than this transaction, based on our records and information provided to us by our directors, executive officers, associates and subsidiaries, neither we, nor any of our associates or subsidiaries, nor any of our directors or executive officers, have effected any transactions in our appreciation warrants or ADWs during the 60 days prior to the date of this document.
Transactions and Arrangements Concerning CEMEXs Securities
Neither we nor our executive officers and directors are party to any arrangement with respect to the appreciation warrants and ADWs that are the subject of the offer. However, we, our executive officers and directors are, respectively, parties to agreements involving other classes of our securities. These arrangements are described below.
Lock-Up Agreements. In connection with our October 2003 public equity offering, we and our executive officers and directors have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to offer, sell or otherwise dispose of or hedge any shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock for a period of 90 days from October 16, 2003, without the prior written consent of the underwriters of that offering. This agreement does not apply to, among other things, our appreciation warrants and ADWs and our
12
employee benefit plans, including the grant of securities or options thereunder, the delivery of securities pursuant thereto and the disposition by the recipient of any securities so delivered.
Employee Benefit Trust Agreements. Our employee stock option plans have entered into the following agreements with us whereby we have agreed to provide them with sufficient CPOs (or funds to acquire CPOs) to satisfy their obligations to deliver CPOs to employees upon exercise of stock options:
| Trust Agreement number 110910-1 dated August 10, 1995 (as from time to time amended) between CEMEX (as settlor and beneficiary) and Banco Nacional de Mexico, S.A., Division Fiduciaria (as trustee); and |
| Trust Agreement number 111132-7 dated December 13, 2001 between CEMEX and Centro Distribuidor de Cemento, S.A. de C.V. (as settlors), and Banco Nacional de Mexico, S.A., Division Fiduciaria (as trustee). |
In addition, our employee benefit plans have entered into the following agreements:
| Trust Agreement dated December 9, 1999 between the persons named in Annex A as first settlers-beneficiaries, the other persons named in Annex B as second settlers-beneficiaries, CEMEX as lending trustee and Citibank, N.A. as trustee pursuant to which the trust, among other things, acquires, manages and disposes of appreciation warrants; |
| Trust Agreement number 111174-2 dated February 27, 2003 between CEMEX employees as settlors and beneficiaries and Banco Nacional de Mexico, S.A., Integrante del grupo Financiero Banamex, División Fiduciaria, pursuant to which the trust has the right to acquire and dispose of CPOs; |
| Trust Agreement dated February 19, 1999 between the persons named in Annex A as first settlers-beneficiaries and Citibank, N.A. as trustee pursuant to which the trust, among other things, acquires, manages and disposes of CPOs and ADRs; and |
| Call option agreement dated March 1, 2003 among Centro Distribuidor de Cemento, S.A. de C.V., or CEDICE, a subsidiary of ours, and Banco Nacional de Mexico, Grupo Financiero Banamex, Division Fiduciaria as trustee under Trust number 111174-2 pursuant to which the trust has the right to purchase from CEDICE up to 38,583,989 CPOs for a price of U.S.$3.45784 per CPO and a premium of U.S.$0.25048 per CPO. The trust paid CEDICE U.S.$9,664,706.63 for this option, which is open for 5 years from March 27, 2003. |
CEMEX Asia Holdings Transaction. On July 12, 2002, we entered into agreements to purchase 1,483,365 shares of CEMEX Asia Holdings, Ltd., or CAH, common stock (approximately 14.58% of the outstanding share capital) from several CAH investors in exchange for 28,195,213 CPOs (subject to anti-dilution adjustments), which exchange was originally scheduled to take place in four equal quarterly tranches commencing on March 31, 2003. The exchange of 63,572 of these CAH shares took place in three quarterly tranches commencing on March 31, 2003, with the exchange of the fourth tranche of 21,191 CAH shares scheduled to take place on December 31. 2003. In April 2003, we amended the terms of the July 12, 2002 agreements with respect to 1,398,602 of the CAH shares. Instead of purchasing those CAH shares in four equal quarterly tranches commencing on March 31, 2003, we agreed to purchase those CAH shares in four equal quarterly tranches commencing on March 31, 2004.
Equity Forward Contracts. From time to time we enter into forward transactions in our CPOs or ADSs with banks and other financial institutions in order to cover our obligations to deliver CPOs or ADSs upon the future exercise of options granted under our employee stock option programs and our voluntary employee stock option programs and our obligation to deliver CPOs upon the exchange of CPOs for CAH shares as described above. Under these forward contracts, which are listed below, the banks agreed to sell to us on the respective maturity dates of these forward contracts the respective number of CPOs or ADS, as applicable, which these banks purchased in open market transactions, for the respective forward purchase price per CPO or ADS, as applicable. Upon liquidation and at our option, these forward contracts provide for physical settlement or net cash settlement. The forward settlement price payable at any time under these forward contracts is equal to the
13
present value of the forward purchase price per share multiplied by the number of shares subject to the forward contract. At maturity, if these forward contracts are not settled or replaced, or if we default on these agreements, these banks may sell the CPOs or ADSs underlying these forward contracts.

8. Income Tax Consequences
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following summary describes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the offer. This summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Treasury regulations under the Internal Revenue Code, administrative pronouncements and judicial decisions, all as in effect as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary addresses only U.S. Holders (as defined below) that are entitled to tender their appreciation warrants or ADWs pursuant to the offer. This summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to you in light of your individual circumstances, for example, if you are an investor subject to special tax rules (such as a bank, thrift, real estate investment trust, regulated investment company, insurance company, dealer in securities or currencies, trader in securities who elects to apply a mark-to-market method of accounting, person whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, person who acquired the securities as compensation, expatriate or tax-exempt investor) or if you hold a security as a position in a straddle, as part of a synthetic security or hedge, as part of a conversion transaction or other integrated investment, or other than a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code. This summary also does not address the state, local or foreign tax consequences of participating in the offer.
For purposes of this summary, a U.S. Holder means a beneficial owner of appreciation warrants or ADWs who is the owner of record of those securities and is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof (including the District of Columbia);
an estate, the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

a trust whose administration is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and which has one or more U.S. persons who have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions.
If a partnership (including any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds appreciation warrants or ADWs, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership.
Holders of appreciation warrants or ADWs are advised to consult with their tax advisors regarding the particular tax consequences to them of the offer and the consequences of participating or not participating in the offer in light of their particular tax situation and under state, local and foreign tax laws applicable to them.
Characterization of the Purchase. Our purchase of a U.S. Holders appreciation warrants or ADWs pursuant to the offer will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a consequence of the purchase, a U.S. Holder will be treated as having sold the U.S. Holders appreciation warrants or ADWs and will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received under the offer (converted by the U.S. tender agent from Mexican Pesos into U.S. Dollars at an exchange rate available to it on the payment date) and the U.S. Holders adjusted tax basis in its appreciation warrants or ADWs (as determined in U.S. dollars) surrendered in the exchange therefor. Gain or loss must be determined separately for each block of appreciation warrants or ADWs (appreciation warrants or ADWs acquired at the same cost in a single transaction) that is purchased by us from a U.S. Holder under the offer. A U.S. Holder may be able to designate, generally through its broker, which blocks of its appreciation warrants or ADWs it wishes to tender under the offer if less than all of its appreciation warrants or ADWs are tendered under the offer. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors concerning the mechanics and desirability of that designation.
Any gain or loss recognized will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holders holding period for the appreciation warrants or ADWs that were sold exceeds one year as of the date of purchase by us under the offer. Long-term capital gains recognized by an individual are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deduction of capital losses is subject to limitations. Gain recognized on the exchange usually will be treated as U.S. source gain for purposes of the foreign tax credit rules of U.S. tax law.
Gain recognized on the exchange of ADWs should not be subject to Mexican withholding tax. Gain recognized on the exchange of appreciation warrants, however, will be subject to Mexican withholding tax unless (i) we obtain a ruling from the Mexican taxing authority that the income tax treaty between the United States and Mexico, or the Treaty, exempts such gain from tax and (ii) at the time of the exchange, a U.S. Holder is able to provide either proof of U.S. residency in Form 6166 from the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, or a certified copy of the prior years tax return to the broker-dealer tendering the appreciation warrants on their behalf. See Mexican Tax Consequences below. A U.S. Holder may obtain Form 6166 by mailing a request for certification of U.S. residency to the IRS, Philadelphia Service Center, Foreign Certification Request, P.O. Box 16437, Philadelphia, PA 19114-0447 or faxing such a request to (212) 516-1035 or (212) 516-3412. A U.S. Holder may refer to IRS Publication 686 for a detailed discussion of residency certification procedures. No assurance can be given that a U.S. Holder will be able to obtain a Form 6166 from the IRS in time to participate in the offer.
If Mexican tax is imposed on the exchange of appreciation warrants in the offer, a U.S. Holder will not be permitted to offset the Mexican tax as a credit against its U.S. tax to the extent that the Mexican tax is refundable or is otherwise not considered a compulsory payment within the meaning of U.S. tax laws. This will depend in part upon the U.S. Holders eligibility for benefits under the Treaty.
U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the applicability of Mexican withholding tax on an exchange of appreciation warrants, their eligibility for benefits under the Treaty, the possibility of obtaining a refund from the Mexican taxing authority and their ability to claim a credit against U.S. tax for any Mexican tax withheld on an exchange of appreciation warrants.

Holders of Appreciation Warrants or ADWs Who Do Not Receive Cash under the Offer. U.S. Holders whose appreciation warrants or ADWs are not purchased by us under the offer will not incur any tax liability as a result of the completion of the offer.

Mexican Tax Consequences
The following is a summary of the principal consequences, under Mexicos federal tax laws and regulations in effect on the date hereof, of the participation in the offer and the tendering of appreciation warrants to us and ADWs to CEMEX Inc. by a person that is deemed to be a non-resident of Mexico for Mexican tax purposes, whom we refer to as a Foreign Holder. This summary includes such principal Mexican tax consequences, but it does not purport to be a complete description of all tax consequences arising from participating in the offer or tendering appreciation warrants or ADWs by any such Foreign Holder. In addition, those consequences may vary depending upon the specific characteristics or the place of residence of the Foreign Holder.
This summary is based on Mexicos federal tax laws and regulations in effect on the date hereof, all of which may change in the future, which may affect the accuracy or completeness of this summary. We will not and do not have any obligation to update this summary in the future.
For purposes of Mexican taxation, a Foreign Holder is a person that may not be deemed a resident of Mexico for tax purposes. A natural person is a resident of Mexico for tax purposes if he or she has established his or her home in Mexico, unless he or she has resided in another country for more than 183 calendar days, whether consecutive or not, during a calendar year and can demonstrate that he or she has become a resident of that country for tax purposes. A legal entity is a resident of Mexico if it is organized under Mexican law or it maintains the principal administration of its business or the effective location of its management in Mexico. A Mexican citizen is presumed to be a resident of Mexico unless such citizen can demonstrate the contrary. If a non-resident of Mexico is deemed to have a permanent establishment in Mexico for tax purposes, all income attributable to such permanent establishment will be subject to Mexican taxes, in accordance with the applicable Mexican tax laws.
Under Mexicos federal tax laws, the tendering of ADWs to CEMEX Inc. by a Foreign Holder or the payment by CEMEX Inc. to a Foreign Holder of the purchase price for ADWs, will not be subject to Mexican withholding or similar taxes or to Mexican transfer or similar taxes.
Under Mexicos federal tax laws, gains, if any, arising from the payment by us to a Foreign Holder of the purchase price for appreciation warrants, will be subject to Mexican withholding taxes imposed at a rate of twenty five percent (25%). Foreign Holders will be required to provide to the Mexican broker-dealer tendering the appreciation warrants on their behalf, to the satisfaction of such Mexican broker-dealer, the documentation or other evidence necessary to determine the gain to which such Mexican withholding taxes will apply.
If the Foreign Holder is a resident of a country deemed to maintain a preferential tax regime in accordance with the Mexican Income Tax Law (Ley del Impuesto sobre la Renta), the payment by us of the purchase price for the appreciation warrants, will be subject to Mexican withholding taxes imposed at a rate of forty percent (40%), without any deduction. For this purpose, Foreign Holders will be required to provide to the Mexican broker-dealer tendering the appreciation warrants on their behalf, to the satisfaction of such Mexican broker-dealer, documentation or other evidence necessary to determine their place of residency.
We intend to file a request for a ruling with the Mexican Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público), or the Ministry, confirming that if the Foreign Holder resides in a country with
17
which Mexico has entered into a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation which is in effect, the payment made by us of the purchase price for the appreciation warrants to such Foreign Holder, will not be subject to Mexican withholding taxes, pursuant to the terms of such treaties. If the request for the ruling is resolved favorably by the Ministry, before the expiration date of the offer, Foreign Holders may take advantage of the benefits of the ruling, if such Foreign Holders provide evidence to the Mexican broker-dealer tendering the appreciation warrants on their behalf, that they reside in a country with which Mexico has entered into a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation which is in effect. We believe that the only evidence of residence that will be acceptable will be (i) a certification of tax residency, issued by the relevant tax authority, or (ii) a certified copy of the last yearly tax return. We cannot assure you that such ruling will be obtained and, even if it is obtained, if evidence of residence in a country with which Mexico has entered into a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation which is in effect cannot be obtained by the relevant Foreign Holder, the withholding taxes specified above will apply.
Under Mexicos federal tax laws, the tender of appreciation warrants by a Foreign Holder will not be subject to Mexican transfer or similar taxes.
The discussion set forth above is included for general information only. We urge you to consult your tax advisor to determine the particular tax consequences to you of the offer, including the applicability and effect of state, local and foreign tax laws.

THE OFFER
1. Number of Appreciation Warrants and ADWs; Price.
On the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer, we will purchase at the selected purchase price (as defined below) all appreciation warrants (including appreciation warrants represented by ADWs) that are tendered (and not properly withdrawn in accordance with the procedures set forth under The Offer3. Withdrawal Rights) at or below the selected purchase, which will be a single price not greater than Ps8.10 per appreciation warrant (U.S.$ equivalent of Ps40.50 per ADW) nor less than Ps5.10 per appreciation warrant (U.S.$ equivalent of Ps25.50 per ADW), in cash. All appreciation warrants we purchase in the offer will be purchased directly by us, and all ADWs we purchase in the offer will be purchased by CEMEX, Inc., our wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary.
The term expiration date with respect to the offer means 4:15 p.m., New York City time, which is 3:15 p.m., Mexico City time, on December 17, 2003, unless we, in our sole discretion, extend the period of time during which the offer will remain open, subject to applicable regulatory approvals. If extended by us, the term expiration date will mean the latest time and date at which the offer, as extended, will expire. See The Offer12. Extension of the Offer; Termination; Amendment for a description of our right to extend, delay, terminate or amend the offer.
Holders desiring to tender appreciation warrants or ADWs must specify the price or prices, not greater than Ps8.10 per appreciation warrant (U.S.$ equivalent of Ps40.50 per ADW) nor less than Ps5.10 per appreciation warrant (U.S.$ equivalent of Ps25.50 per ADW), at which they are willing to sell their appreciation warrants or ADWs, as applicable. Prices may only be specified in increments of Ps0.30 per appreciation warrant (U.S.$ equivalent of Ps1.50 per ADW). Tenders of appreciation warrants or ADWs of holders who do not specify a price will be rejected.
As soon as practicable following the expiration date, we will determine the purchase price for appreciation warrants and ADWs validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, which we refer to as the selected purchase price, using the following pricing formula:
The selected purchase price will be either:
(1) | the lowest price that will enable us to purchase at least eighty percent of the appreciation warrants (including appreciation warrants represented by ADWs) beneficially owned by eligible holders on November 5, 2003 (or 45,293,003 appreciation warrants); or |
(2) | if less than eighty percent of the appreciation warrants (including appreciation warrants represented by ADWs) beneficially owned by eligible holders on November 5, 2003 (or 45,293,003 appreciation warrants) are validly tendered, the highest price at which any appreciation warrant (including appreciation warrants represented by ADWs) is validly tendered by an eligible holder. |
For purposes of determining the selected purchase price only, appreciation warrants and ADWs beneficially owned by persons that are not eligible holders will not be taken into account. Eligible holders means all beneficial owners of appreciation warrants and ADWs, other than our executive officers, directors, subsidiaries and two of our employee pension funds over which we exercise investment discretion, which we refer to as the employee pension funds. As of November 5, 2003, of the 103,790,945 outstanding appreciation warrants (including appreciation warrants represented by ADWs), 56,616,253 appreciation warrants (including appreciation warrants represented by ADWs) were held by eligible holders. Holders desiring to tender appreciation warrants or ADWs must indicate on their Indeval participant tender letter, letter of transmittal or agents message, as applicable, whether they are eligible holders. Tenders of appreciation warrants or ADWs of holders who do not indicate that they are eligible holders will be deemed to be tendered by persons who are not eligible holders and the prices at which such appreciation warrants or ADWs were tendered will not be taken into account for purposes of determining the selected purchase price.
19
We will purchase all appreciation warrants and ADWs validly tendered at prices at or below the selected purchase price and not properly withdrawn, including appreciation warrants and ADWs validly tendered, and not properly withdrawn, by persons that are not eligible holders. All appreciation warrants and ADWs we purchase will be purchased at the selected purchase price. However, we will not purchase any appreciation warrants or ADWs tendered at a price above the selected purchase price.
As soon as practicable following the expiration date, we will accept for payment and pay for, appreciation warrants and ADWs validly tendered (and not properly withdrawn) at or below the selected purchase price upon the terms and conditions of the offer. We will cancel all appreciation warrants (including appreciation warrants represented by ADWs) we purchase in the offer.
All appreciation warrants and ADWs tendered and not purchased, including appreciation warrants and ADWs tendered at prices above the purchase price we select, will be returned to you at our expense as soon as practicable following the expiration date.
You can tender different portions of your appreciation warrants or ADWs at different prices. However, you may only submit one Indeval participant letter, letter of transmittal or agents message, as applicable, for appreciation warrants or ADWs tendered, even if you wish to tender portions of your appreciation warrants or ADWs at more than one price. The same appreciation warrants or ADWs cannot be tendered (unless properly withdrawn previously in accordance with the procedures described under The Offer3. Withdrawal Rights) at more than one price. If you wish to ensure that your appreciation warrants or ADWs will be purchased, you should indicate on the Indeval participant letter, the letter of transmittal, or the agents message, applicable, that you will accept the minimum price of Ps5.10 per appreciation warrant (U.S.$ equivalent of Ps25.50 per ADW). See The Offer2. Procedures for Tendering Appreciation Warrants and ADWs.
You may withdraw your appreciation warrants or ADWs from the offer by following the procedures described under The Offer3. Withdrawal Rights.
If we:
| increase or decrease the range of prices to be paid for appreciation warrants, or |
| decrease the number of appreciation warrants being sought in the offer, |
then the offer must remain open, or will be extended, until at least ten business days from, and including, the date that notice of any such change is first published, sent or given in the manner described under The Offer12. Extension of the Offer; Termination; Amendment. For purposes of the offer, a business day means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or United States federal holiday and consists of the time period from 12:01 a.m. through 12:00 midnight, Eastern time.
The offer is not conditioned on any minimum number of appreciation warrants or ADWs being tendered. The offer is, however, subject to other conditions discussed under The Offer5. Conditions of the Offer.
2. Procedures for Tendering Appreciation Warrants and ADWs
If you own appreciation warrants or ADWs and wish to tender them in the offer, you should determine how you hold the securities and follow the instructions below for tendering them.
If you hold your securities through an agent
If you hold your securities in a brokerage or custodian account through an agent, including a broker, dealer, bank, trust company, custodian or other nominee, you will need to timely instruct your agent to tender your
20
securities prior to the expiration date in the manner described below and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this document. The appreciation warrants are held only in book entry form through the facilities of S.D. Indeval, Institución para el Depósito de Valores, S.A. de C.V., or Indeval; the ADWs may be held in either book entry form through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, or in certificated form. Please refer to any materials forwarded to you by your agent to determine how you can timely instruct your agent to take these actions.
If you hold your ADWs in certificated form
If you hold your ADWs in certificated form, you will be able to tender those ADWs only if you tender your ADWs in the manner described below or arrange for an agent to hold your ADWs on your behalf in book-entry form. If you appoint an agent, your agent may arrange for ADWs to be held in book-entry form through any participant in DTC. You and your agent should contact the information agent or the dealer-manager at the numbers set forth on the back cover of this document if you have questions in this regard.

Valid Tender of Appreciation Warrants and ADWs
In the case of appreciation warrants, your agent should arrange for a Mexican broker-dealer (casa de bolsa) that is an Indeval participant to receive and hold the appreciation warrants through its Indeval account on your behalf and to tender those appreciation warrants in the offer, in a transaction executed as a transfer (cruce) on the Mexican Stock Exchange, to the Mexican dealer manager, who will be acting on our behalf, at its account at Indeval and to deliver to the Mexican dealer manager an Indeval participant tender letter, in the format provided for such purpose, prior to the expiration date. In the event one or more brokers, dealers, banks, trust companies, custodians or other nominees act as an intermediary between your agent and the Mexican broker-dealer that is an Indeval participant, your agent should arrange for the intermediary to forward the tender instructions for the appreciation warrants to the appropriate Mexican broker-dealer that is an Indeval participant for such Mexican broker-dealer to follow the procedures described above.
In the case of ADWs held in book-entry form, your agent should arrange for the DTC participant holding the ADWs through its DTC account to tender those ADWs in the tender offer to the U.S. tender agent prior to the
21
expiration date in accordance with the DTC procedures applicable to tendering in modified Dutch auctions. In the event one or more brokers, dealers, banks, trust companies, custodians or other nominees acts as an intermediary between your agent and that DTC participant, your agent should arrange to deliver the tender instructions for the ADWs to the appropriate DTC participant.
In the case of ADWs held in certificated form, you may tender the ADWs registered in your name on the books of the U.S. tender agent by delivering to the U.S. tender agent a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal or a manually executed facsimile of it, together with the applicable signature guarantees from an eligible guarantor institution, and the certificate evidencing the ADWs specified in the accompanying letter of transmittal, in each case, on or prior to the expiration date.
Your agent should contact in advance the Mexican broker-dealer that is an Indeval participant or the DTC participant whom your agent will be instructing to deliver the securities and the accompanying tender documentation to the Mexican dealer manager or the U.S. tender agent, as applicable, to assure that all necessary arrangements are made with that participant in a timely manner to permit the delivery of the securities and the accompanying tender documentation to the Mexican dealer manager or the U.S. tender agent, as applicable, on or before the expiration date and in accordance with that participants procedures. You and your agent will be responsible for the risks in connection with the procedures of that participant, and we will have no liabilities or obligations in connection with those risks.
If you want to tender your appreciation warrants or ADWs you must properly complete the pricing section of the Indeval participant tender letter, letter of transmittal or agents message, as applicable:
| If you wish to ensure that your appreciation warrants or ADWs will be purchased, you should check the box next to the minimum purchase price of Ps5.10 per appreciation warrant (Ps25.50 per ADW) in the pricing section of the Indeval participant tender letter, letter of transmittal or agents message, as applicable. This means that you will accept the purchase price selected by us in accordance with the terms of the offer. |
| If you wish to indicate a purchase price higher than the minimum purchase price (in multiples of Ps0.30 per appreciation warrant (Ps1.50 per ADW)) at which your appreciation warrants or ADWs are being tendered, you must check one box in the pricing section of the Indeval participant tender letter, letter of transmittal or agents message, as applicable, for each portion of your appreciation warrants or ADWs tendered. You should be aware that this election could mean that none of your appreciation warrants or ADWs will be purchased if you choose a price for those securities that is higher than the purchase price we select after the expiration date. |
If you wish to tender portions of your appreciation warrants or ADWs at different prices, you may only submit one Indeval participant letter, letter of transmittal or agents message, as applicable, for appreciation warrants or ADWs tendered. However, the same appreciation warrants or ADWs cannot be tendered (unless properly withdrawn previously in accordance with the procedures described under The Offer3. Withdrawal Rights) at more than one price. To tender appreciation warrants or ADWs properly, one and only one price box must be checked in the pricing section of the Indeval participant letter, letter of transmittal or agents message, as applicable, for each portion of your appreciation warrants or ADWs tendered.
If you tender your appreciation warrants or ADWs directly to the Mexican dealer manager or the U.S. tender agent, as applicable, you will not need to pay any brokerage commissions. If you hold appreciation warrants or ADWs through a broker or bank, however, you should ask your broker or bank to see if you will be charged a fee to tender your appreciation warrants or ADWs through the broker or bank.
22
The role of the DTC participant or the Mexican broker-dealer Indeval participant
A DTC participant may tender ADWs only by taking the following actions on or before 4:15 p.m., New York City time, on December 17, 2003:
(1) delivering ADWs by means of book-entry transfer into the U.S. tender agents applicable DTC accounts. One such account will be established for tenders by eligible holders, which we refer to as the eligible holder account, and another account will be established for tenders who do not certify that they are eligible holders; and
(2) transmitting a message to the U.S. tender agent through the facilities of DTC, commonly referred to as an agents message, specifying that the relevant participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in this document with respect to the offer, specifying the price or prices at which the relevant participant is tendering ADWs in the offer and, in the case of a tender of ADWs into the eligible holder account, specifying that the relevant participant is tendering ADWs on behalf of eligible holders.
By taking these actions, you and your agent will be deemed to have agreed (1) to the terms and conditions of the offer as set forth in this document and (2) that we and the U.S. tender agent may enforce the terms and conditions against you and your agent.
A Mexican broker-dealer that is an Indeval participant may tender appreciation warrants only by taking the following actions on or before 3:15 p.m., Mexico City time, on December 17, 2003:
(1) delivering appreciation warrants by means of book-entry transfer, pursuant to a transaction executed on the Mexican Stock Exchange, into the Mexican dealer managers Indeval third party account specified by the Mexican dealer manager to each Mexican broker-dealer Indeval participant promptly after the commencement of the tender offer; and
(2) delivering to the Mexican dealer manager, at its address in Mexico City specified on the back cover of this document, a signed and completed Indeval participant tender letter, a form of which will be provided by the Mexican dealer manager to each Indeval participant promptly after the commencement of the tender offer. The Indeval participant tender letter will not be accepted by the Mexican dealer manager at any address other than the address for the Mexican dealer manager in Mexico City specified on the back cover of this document.
By taking these actions, you and your agent shall be deemed to have agreed (1) to the terms and conditions of the tender offer or the Mexican tender offer, as applicable, and (2) that CEMEX and the Mexican dealer manager may enforce the terms and conditions against you and your agent.
You should deliver the letter of transmittal and the DTC participants agents messages only to the U.S. tender agent and the Indeval participants tender letters only to the Mexican dealer manager. The U.S. tender agent will not accept any tender materials other than the letter of transmittal and the DTC participants agents messages. The Mexican dealer manager will not accept any tender materials other than the Indeval participants tender letters.
General Provisions
The method of delivery of securities and all other documents or instructions including, without limitation, the agents messages and Indeval participant tender letters and the letters of transmittal, is at your risk.
A tender will be deemed to have been received only:
(1) in the case of a tender of appreciation warrants, when the Mexican dealer manager receives both the duly completed and signed Indeval participant tender letter stating the price(s) at which you are tendering appreciation warrants and indicating whether you are an eligible holder at its address in Mexico
23
City specified on the back cover of this document and a book-entry transfer, pursuant to a transaction executed on the Mexican Stock Exchange, of the appreciation warrants into the Mexican dealer managers Indeval third-party account;
(2) in the case of a tender of ADWs in book-entry form, when the U.S. tender agent receives both a duly completed agents message through the facilities of DTC at the U.S. tender agents DTC account stating the price(s) at which you are tendering ADWs through your broker and, in the case of a tender of ADWs into the eligible holder account, specifying that the relevant DTC participant is tendering on behalf of an eligible holder and confirmation of book-entry transfer of the ADWs into the U.S. tender agents applicable DTC account; or
(3) in the case of a tender of ADWs held in certificated form, when the U.S. tender agent receives a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal or a manually executed facsimile of it stating the price at which you are tendering each ADW certificate representing ADWs and indicating whether you are an eligible holder, together with the applicable signature guarantees from an eligible institution, and the certificate evidencing the ADWs specified in the accompanying letter of transmittal, in each case, on or prior to the expiration date. If you hold less ADW certificates than the number of prices you wish to select for your ADWs to be purchased by us, you may contact Citibank, N.A., as the ADW depositary for instruction on how to receive (i) book-entry ADWs or (ii) the appropriate number of ADW certificates equal to the number of prices you wish to select for the sale of your ADWs. Your ADWs will not be validly tendered if (i) more than one box is checked and you are not tendering an ADW certificate evidencing the same number of ADWs opposite such box or (ii) no box is checked.
We reserve full discretion to resolve all questions as to tenders, including whether the documentation is complete, the date and time of receipt of a tender, the propriety of execution and delivery of any document or instruction, and other questions as to validity, form, eligibility or acceptability of any tender. We reserve the right to reject any tender not in proper form or otherwise not valid or the acceptance of which may, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful or to waive any irregularities or, in the reasonable discretion of our counsel, to waive any applicable conditions. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the tender offer will be final and binding. We shall not be obligated to give any notice of any defects or irregularities in tenders and shall not incur any liability for failure to give that notice. The U.S. tender agent and the Mexican dealer manager may, but shall not be obligated to, give notice to the tendering holders of any irregularities or defects in tenders, and shall not incur any liability for any failure to give that notice. Appreciation warrants and ADWs will not be deemed to have been duly or validly tendered unless and until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived. All improperly tendered securities will be returned without cost to the tendering holder promptly after the expiration date, unless the irregularities and defects of that tender are timely cured or waived, as follows:
| in the case of book-entry securities, by book-entry delivery through Indeval, in the case of appreciation warrants, or DTC, in the case of ADWs, to the accounts of the applicable Mexican broker-dealer Indeval participants or DTC participants; or |
| in the case of ADWs held in certificated form, by mail to the addresses of those holders registered on the books of the U.S. tender agent for the ADWs. |
Securities being tendered must be delivered to the Mexican dealer manager or the U.S. tender agent, as applicable, in accordance with the procedures described in this document on or before the expiration date. There will be no guaranteed delivery procedures associated with this offer permitting delivery after the expiration date.
Terms and Conditions of a Tender of Securities
Securities being tendered in the tender offer and either the completed Indeval participant tender letter, the completed DTC participants agents message or the completed and duly executed letter of transmittal must be received by the U.S. tender agent or the Mexican dealer manager, as applicable, in accordance with the terms described in this document by 4:15 p.m., New York City time, which is 3:15 p.m., Mexico City time, on December 17, 2003, unless we choose to extend the tender offer, subject to applicable regulatory approvals.
24
Your Representation and Warranty; Our Acceptance Constitutes an Agreement
A tender of appreciation warrants or ADWs under any of the procedures described above will constitute your acceptance of the terms and conditions of the offer, as well as your representation and warranty to us that:
| you have a net long position in the appreciation warrants or ADWs at least equal to the appreciation warrants or ADWs tendered within the meaning of Rule 14e-4 promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act, and |
| the tender of appreciation warrants or ADWs, as applicable, complies with Rule 14e-4. |
It is a violation of Rule 14e-4 for a person, directly or indirectly, to tender securities for that persons own account unless, at the time of tender, the person so tendering
| has a net long position equal to or greater than the amount tendered in the subject securities or securities immediately convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, the subject securities, and |
| will deliver or cause to be delivered the securities in accordance with the terms of the tender offer. |
Rule 14e-4 provides a similar restriction applicable to the tender or guarantee of a tender on behalf of another person.
Our acceptance for payment of appreciation warrants or ADWs tendered under the offer will constitute a binding agreement between you and us upon the terms and conditions of the offer described in this and related documents.
In addition, by signing and delivering a letter of transmittal or by instructing your agent to tender your securities in the tender offer, you are representing, warranting and agreeing that:
| you have received and read a copy of this document and understand and agree to be bound by all the terms and conditions of the tender offer; |
| you have full power and authority to tender your securities; |
| you have assigned and transferred the securities to the U.S. tender agent or Mexican dealer manager, and irrevocably constitute and appoint the U.S. tender agent or Mexican dealer manager, as applicable, as your true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact to cause your securities to be tendered in the tender offer, that power of attorney being irrevocable and coupled with an interest, subject only to the right of withdrawal described in this document; |
| your securities are being tendered, and will, when accepted by the U.S. tender agent or Mexican dealer manager, as applicable, be free and clear of all charges, liens, restrictions, claims, equitable interests and encumbrances, other than the claims of a holder under the express terms of the tender offer; and |
| you will, upon our request or the request of the U.S. tender agent or Mexican dealer manager, as applicable, execute and deliver any additional documents necessary or desirable to complete the tender of the securities. |
Your agent, by delivering, or causing to be delivered, those securities and the completed agents message or the completed Indeval participant tender letter, to the U.S. tender agent or Mexican dealer manager, respectively, is representing and warranting that you, as owner of the securities, have represented, warranted and agreed to each of the above.
Return of Unpurchased Appreciation Warrants and ADWs
If any tendered appreciation warrants or ADWs are not purchased, such unpurchased appreciation warrants or ADWs will be returned without cost to the tendering holder promptly after the expiration date as follows:
| in the case of book-entry securities, by book-entry delivery through Indeval, in the case of appreciation warrants, or DTC, in the case of ADWs, to the accounts of the applicable Mexican broker-dealer Indeval participants or DTC participants; or |
25

A U.S. Holder whose appreciation warrants or ADWs are sold pursuant to the offer may be subject to information reporting. In addition, a U.S. Holder of appreciation warrants or ADWs may be subject to backup withholding on the proceeds from the sale of the appreciation warrants or ADWs pursuant to the offer unless such holder is an exempt recipient (such as a corporation) or provides to the paying agent such holders correct taxpayer identification number and certifies that such holder is exempt from or otherwise is not subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amount withheld under these rules will be creditable against the U.S. Holders federal income tax liability.
For a discussion of U.S. federal income tax consequences to tendering holders, see Special Factors8. Income Tax Consequences.
3. Withdrawal Rights.
Appreciation warrants and ADWs tendered may be withdrawn at any time before the expiration of the offer and, unless accepted for payment by us after the expiration of the offer, may also be withdrawn at any time after 4:15 p.m., New York City time, which is 3:15 p.m., Mexico City time, on January 15, 2004. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, tenders of appreciation warrants and ADWs are irrevocable.
For a withdrawal of appreciation warrants to be effective, a written notice of withdrawal must be timely received by the Mexican broker-dealer acting on your behalf in the offer, and such Mexican broker-dealer must deliver a notice of withdrawal to the Mexican dealer manager at its address appearing on the back page of this document. For a withdrawal of ADWs to be effective, a written notice of withdrawal must be timely received by the U.S. tender agent at its address appearing on the back page of this document. Any notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the tendering holder, the number of appreciation warrants or ADWs to be withdrawn and the name of the registered holder of the appreciation warrants or ADWs. If you tendered your appreciation warrants or ADWs through an agent and wish to withdraw your appreciation warrants or ADWs, you will need to make arrangements for withdrawal with your agent. Your ability to withdraw the tender of your appreciation warrants or ADWs will depend upon the terms of the arrangements you have made with your agent and, if your agent is not the Mexican broker-dealer Indeval participant tendering those appreciation warrants or the DTC participant tendering those ADWs, the arrangements between your agent and such Mexican broker-dealer Indeval participant or DTC participant , including any arrangements involving intermediaries between your agent and such Mexican broker-dealer Indeval participant or DTC participant.
The withdrawal of appreciation warrants can only be made through your agent; therefore, you should notify your agent of your intent in time for your agent to notify the Mexican broker-dealer acting on your behalf in the offer in writing.
If you tendered your ADWs in certificated form and wish to withdraw your ADWs, you will need to deliver to the U.S. tender agent a signed notice of withdrawal specifying the name of the registered holder and the serial numbers shown on the particular certificates evidencing the ADWs to be withdrawn. The U.S. tender agent will require that your signature on a notice of withdrawal be guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution. If you tendered your ADWs pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer, the notice of withdrawal also must specify the name and the number of the account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn appreciation warrants and must otherwise comply with DTC procedures.
The Mexican dealer manager or the U.S. tender agent, as applicable, will return to tendering holders all appreciation warrants and ADWs in respect of which it has received valid withdrawal instructions as soon as practicable after it receives of such instructions.
26
All questions as to the form and validity (including the time of receipt) of any notice of withdrawal will be determined by us, and our determination will be final and binding. Neither we, nor any of the U.S. tender agent, the U.S. dealer manager, the Mexican dealer manager, the information agent or any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in any notice of withdrawal or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.
Withdrawals may not be rescinded, and any appreciation warrants or ADWs properly withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not validly tendered for purposes of the offer unless the withdrawn securities are properly re-tendered before the expiration date by following one of the procedures described under The Offer2. Procedures for Tendering Appreciation Warrants and ADWs.
If we extend the offer, if we are delayed in our purchase of appreciation warrants and ADWs or we are unable to purchase appreciation warrants and ADWs under the offer for any reason, then, without prejudice to our rights under the offer, the Mexican dealer manager and the U.S. tender agent, as applicable, may, subject to applicable law, retain tendered appreciation warrants or ADWs on our behalf, and such appreciation warrants or ADWs may not be withdrawn except to the extent tendering holders are entitled to withdrawal rights as described in this Section 3.
4. Purchase of Appreciation Warrants and ADWs; Payment of Purchase Price.
Upon the terms and conditions of the offer, as soon as practicable following the expiration date, we will:
| determine the purchase price we will pay for appreciation warrants and ADWs validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, taking into account the number of appreciation warrants and ADWs so tendered and the prices specified by tendering holders (other than appreciation warrants and ADWs tendered by persons who are not eligible holders); and |
| accept for payment and pay for, and thereby purchase, appreciation warrants and ADWs validly tendered at prices equal to or below the selected purchase price (including appreciation warrants and ADWs tendered by persons who are not eligible holders) and not properly withdrawn. |
For purposes of the offer, we will be deemed to have accepted for payment and therefore purchased appreciation warrants and ADWs that are validly tendered at or below the purchase price and not properly withdrawn, only when, as and if we give notice to the Mexican dealer manager or the U.S. tender agent, as applicable, of our acceptance of the appreciation warrants or ADWs for payment.
Upon the terms and conditions of the offer, as soon as practicable after the expiration date, we will accept for payment and pay a single per appreciation warrant purchase price for all appreciation warrants and ADWs tendered, if validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, at prices between Ps5.10 and Ps8.10 per appreciation warrant (between the U.S.$ equivalents of Ps25.50 and Ps40.50 per ADW).
We will pay for appreciation warrants purchased pursuant to the offer by paying to each Mexican broker-dealer tendering appreciation warrants the aggregate purchase price for the appreciation warrants purchased from such Mexican broker-dealer, which will act as agent for the holders on whose behalf it tendered such appreciation warrants for the purpose of receiving payment from us and transmitting payment to such holders. We will pay for ADWs purchased pursuant to the offer by paying the aggregate purchase price for the ADWs to the U.S. tender agent, which will act as agent for tendering holders for the purpose of receiving payment from us and transmitting payment to the tendering holders. The U.S. tender agent will arrange for the conversion of the purchase price paid in Mexican Pesos in respect of appreciation warrants underlying ADWs purchased in the offer into U.S. Dollars at an exchange rate available to it on the payment date for subsequent delivery to you. Neither we nor the U.S. tender agent are responsible for the U.S. tender agent in fact being able to convert Mexican Pesos received for U.S. Dollars as a result of exchange controls or otherwise, or for the exchange rate at which such conversion ultimately occurs.
27
We will not pay interest on the purchase price regardless of any delay in making such payment. In addition, if certain events occur, we may not be obligated to purchase appreciation warrants or ADWs in the offer. See the conditions to the offer under The Offer5. Conditions of the Offer.
We will pay all stock transfer taxes, if any, payable on the transfer to us of appreciation warrants and ADWs purchased under the offer. If, however, (a) payment of the purchase price is to be made to any person other than the registered holder, (b) appreciation warrants or ADWs not tendered or rejected for purchase are to be registered in the name of any person other than the registered holder, or (c) certificates representing tendered ADWs are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing the letter of transmittal, the amount of all stock transfer taxes, if any (whether imposed on the registered holder the other person or otherwise), payable on account of the transfer to the other person, will be deducted from the purchase price unless satisfactory evidence of the payment of the stock transfer taxes, or exemption therefrom, is submitted.
Any tendering U.S. holder or other payee who fails to complete fully, sign and return to the U.S. tender agent the substitute form W-9 included with the letter of transmittal may be subject to federal income backup withholding at the applicable rate on the gross proceeds paid to the holder or other payee under the offer. See The Offer2. Procedures for Tendering Appreciation Warrants and ADWs. Also see Special Factors8. Income Tax Consequences regarding additional U.S. federal income tax consequences.
For accounting purposes, under generally accepted accounting principles in Mexico, the purchase price we pay for any appreciation warrants and ADWs we purchase in the offer will be recorded on our balance sheet as a decrease in stockholders equity and as a corresponding decrease in cash and temporary investments.
5. Conditions of the Offer.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the offer, we will not be required to accept for payment, purchase or pay for any appreciation warrants tendered, and may terminate or amend the offer or may postpone the acceptance for payment of, or the purchase of and the payment for appreciation warrants and ADWs tendered, subject to applicable regulatory approvals, if, at any time on or after November 17, 2003 and before the expiration of the offer, including any extension of the expiration of the offer, any of the following events have occurred (or have been determined by us to have occurred) that, in our reasonable judgment makes it inadvisable for us to proceed with the offer or with acceptance for payment:
| there has been threatened, instituted or pending any action or proceeding by any government or governmental, regulatory or administrative agency, authority or tribunal or any other person, domestic or foreign, before any court, authority, agency or tribunal that directly or indirectly challenges the making of the offer, the acquisition of some or all the appreciation warrants and ADWs under the offer or otherwise relates in any manner to the offer, including the other conditions to the offer or which, in our reasonable judgment, would or might impair a contemplated purpose of the offer; |
| there has been any action threatened, pending or taken, or approval withheld, or any statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order or injunction threatened, proposed, sought, promulgated, enacted, entered, amended, enforced or deemed to be applicable to the offer or to us or any of our subsidiaries, by any court or any authority, agency or tribunal that, in our reasonable judgment, would or might directly or indirectly |
(i) | make the acceptance for payment of, or payment for, some or all the appreciation warrants and ADWs illegal or otherwise restrict or prohibit completion of the offer or impair a contemplated purpose of the offer; or |
(ii) | delay or restrict our ability, or render us unable, to accept for payment or pay for some or all the appreciation warrants and ADWs; |
28
| there has occurred any of the following: |
(i) | any general suspension of trading in, or limitation on prices for, securities on any national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market in the United States or on the Mexican Stock Exchange; |
(ii) | the declaration of a banking moratorium or any suspension of payments in respect of banks in the United States or Mexico; |
(iii) | the commencement of a war, armed hostilities or other international or national calamity directly or indirectly involving the United States or Mexico; |
(iv) | any limitation (whether or not mandatory) by any governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or authority on, or any event, or any disruption or adverse change in the financial or capital markets generally or the market for loan syndications in particular, that, in our reasonable judgment, might affect, the extension of credit by banks or other lending institutions in the United States or Mexico; |
(v) | any significant decrease in the market price of our securities, including our CPOs and ADSs and appreciation warrants and ADWs, or any change in the general political, market, economic or financial conditions in the United States, Mexico or abroad that could, in our reasonable judgment, have a material adverse effect on our business, operations or prospects or the trading of our securities; or |
(vi) | any change or changes in the business, financial condition, assets, income, operations, prospects or equity ownership of us or our subsidiaries that, in our reasonable judgment, is or may be material and adverse to us or our subsidiaries. |
The conditions to the offer are for our sole benefit and may be asserted by us regardless of the circumstances (including any action or inaction by us) giving rise to any such condition and, where permissible, may be waived by us, in whole or in part at any time up until the expiration of the offer in our sole discretion. Our failure at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any right, and each right shall be deemed an ongoing right which may be asserted at any time up until the expiration of the offer. Any determination or judgment by us concerning the events described above will be final and binding on all parties.

7. Mexican Peso Exchange Rates.
Mexico has had no exchange control system in place since the dual exchange control system was abolished on November 11, 1991. The Mexican Peso has floated freely in foreign exchange markets since December 1994, when the Mexican Central Bank (Banco de Mexico) abandoned its prior policy of having an official devaluation band. Since then, the Peso has been subject to substantial fluctuations in value. The Peso depreciated against the Dollar by 22.7% in 1998, appreciated against the Dollar by 3.9% in 1999, depreciated against the Dollar by 1.16% in 2000, appreciated against the Dollar by 4.68% in 2001, depreciated against the Dollar by 13% in 2002 and depreciated against the Dollar by 5.99% in the first nine months of 2003. These percentages are based on the exchange rate that we use for accounting purposes, or the CEMEX accounting rate. The CEMEX accounting rate represents the average of three different exchange rates that are provided to us by Banco Nacional de México, S.A., or Banamex. For any given date, the CEMEX accounting rate may differ from the noon buying rate for Pesos in New York City published by the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank of New York. We cannot predict the value of the Peso or assure you that the Mexican government will not establish new exchange controls in the future.
The following table sets forth, for the periods and dates indicated, the end-of-period, average and high and low points of the CEMEX accounting rate as well as the noon buying rate for Pesos, expressed in Pesos per U.S.$1.00.

The noon buying rate for Pesos on November 14, 2003 was Ps11.143 to U.S.$1.00 and the CEMEX accounting rate was Ps11.157 to U.S.$1.00.
The Mexican government does not currently restrict the ability of Mexicans or others to convert Pesos to Dollars, or vice versa. The Mexican Central Bank has consistently made foreign currency available to Mexican private sector entities, such as CEMEX, to meet their foreign currency obligations. Nevertheless, if renewed shortages of foreign currency occur, the Mexican Central Bank may not continue its practice of making foreign currency available to private sector companies and we may not be able to purchase the foreign currency we need to service our foreign currency obligations without substantial additional cost.
8. Source and Amount of Funds.
We would need a maximum of Ps840.7 million (U.S.$75.4 million) to purchase all the validly issued appreciation warrants outstanding (including appreciation warrants represented by ADWs) at the maximum price of Ps8.10 per appreciation warrant (U.S.$ equivalent of Ps40.50 per ADW), other than the appreciation warrants (including appreciation warrants represented by ADWs) beneficially owned by our subsidiaries. For purposes of calculating the maximum aggregate purchase price, the 30,708,913 appreciation warrants (including appreciation warrants represented by ADWs) beneficially owned by our subsidiaries have been excluded as the intercompany transaction will have no financial or accounting effect on us.
We will use cash on hand from the proceeds of our October 2003 public equity offering to pay for all appreciation warrants and ADWs we purchase in the offer.

9. Information About Us.
Unless otherwise indicated, references in this Item 9 to Ps are to constant Mexican Pesos as of June 30, 2003.
General
Incorporated in 1920, CEMEX is the third largest cement company in the world, based on installed capacity as of June 30, 2003 of approximately 80.9 million tons. We are one of the worlds largest traders of cement and clinker, having traded over 10.2 million tons of cement and clinker in 2002. We are a holding company engaged, through our operating subsidiaries, primarily in the production, distribution, marketing and sale of cement, ready-mix concrete and clinker. We are a global cement manufacturer with operations in North, Central and South America, Europe, the Caribbean, Asia and Africa. As of June 30, 2003, we had worldwide assets of Ps174.7 billion (U.S.$16.7 billion). On November 14, 2003, we had an equity market capitalization of approximately Ps92.0 billion (U.S.$8.3 billion).
We believe that we are one of the most efficient cement producers in the world. We believe we have achieved this competitive advantage through our significant utilization of technology throughout our entire organization, our superior operating practices, our turnaround expertise in newly acquired operations and our size as one of the largest cement companies in the world.
As of June 30, 2003, our main cement production facilities were located in Mexico, Spain, Venezuela, Colombia, the United States, Egypt, the Philippines, Thailand, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Panama, Nicaragua and Puerto Rico. As of June 30, 2003, our assets, cement plants and installed capacity, on an unconsolidated basis, were as set forth below. Installed capacity, which refers to theoretical annual production capacity, represents gray cement equivalent capacity, which counts each ton of white cement capacity as approximately two tons of gray cement capacity. It also includes our proportional interest in the installed capacity of companies in which we hold a minority interest.

In the above table, Asia includes our Asian subsidiaries, and, for purposes of the columns labeled Assets and Installed Capacity, includes our 25.5% interest, as of June 30, 2003, in PT Semen Gresik, or Gresik, an Indonesian cement producer. In addition to the three cement plants owned by our Asian subsidiaries, Gresik operated four cement plants with an installed capacity of 17.2 million tons, as of June 30, 2003. In the above table, Central America and the Caribbean includes our subsidiaries in Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Panama, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico and other assets in the Caribbean region.

Cementos Bio Bio, a Chilean cement producer having three cement plants with an installed capacity of approximately 2.2 million tons at June 30, 2003, and intercompany accounts receivable of CEMEX (the parent company only) in the amount of Ps38.4 billion, which would be eliminated if these assets were calculated on a consolidated basis.
During the last decade, we embarked on a major geographic expansion program to diversify our cash flows and enter markets whose economic cycles within the cement industry largely operate independently from that of Mexico and which offer long-term growth potential. We have built an extensive network of marine and land-based distribution centers and terminals that give us marketing access around the world.
We are a Mexican corporation with our principal executive offices located at Av. Ricardo Margáin Zozaya #325, Colonia Valle del Campestre, Garza García, Nuevo León, México 66265. Our main phone number is +011-5281-8888-8888.

10. Effects of the Offer on the Market for Our Appreciation Warrants and ADWs; Registration Under the Exchange Act.
Our purchase of appreciation warrants and ADWs in the offer will reduce the number of appreciation warrants and ADWs that might otherwise be traded publicly and may reduce the number of holders of our appreciation warrants and ADWs. The appreciation warrants are currently traded on the Mexican Stock
33
Exchange and the ADWs are currently traded on the New York Stock Exchange. There can be no assurance that holders of appreciation warrants and ADWs will be able to find willing buyers for their securities after the offer.
At the completion of the offer, depending on the number of appreciation warrants and ADWs tendered and accepted in the offer, the appreciation warrants and the ADWs may be held by fewer than 300 persons. Consequently, the appreciation warrants and the ADWs may be subject to delisting from the New York Stock Exchange. In the event the appreciation warrants and ADWs are delisted from the New York Stock Exchange, the appreciation warrants and ADWs outstanding after the offer may not be admitted to trading or quotation on any U.S. national securities exchange or association, and there will be limited trading information and market liquidity regarding the ADWs; however, the appreciation warrants will continue to be listed and traded on the Mexican Stock Exchange. In addition, we may decide to terminate the ADW deposit agreement under which the ADWs are issued, which would further reduce the liquidity of the ADWs and eliminate the ability to trade and settle the trades of ADWs. Lastly, the ADWs and appreciation warrants may be eligible for deregistration under the Exchange Act. See Special Factors6. Effects of the Offer above.
11. Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals.
We are subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act in the United States and the Mexican Securities Market Law (Ley de Mercado de Valores) and, in accordance with these requirements, file reports and information statements and other information with the SEC and the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores), or the CNBV, respectively. We have also filed a combined statement on Schedules TO and 13E-3 with the SEC under cover of Schedule TO and applicable tender offer documents with the CNBV, which includes additional information relating to the offer. In addition, we have filed the necessary documents and obtained the approval of the CNBV to conduct the offer as a public offer.
Except as otherwise described in this document, we are not aware of any license or regulatory permit material to our business that would be adversely affected by our acquisition of appreciation warrants and ADWs as contemplated by the offer or of any approval or other action by any government or governmental, administrative or regulatory authority or agency, domestic, foreign or supranational, that would be required for our acquisition or ownership of appreciation warrants and ADWs as contemplated by the offer. Should any such approval or other action be required, we presently contemplate that we will seek that approval or other action. We are unable to predict whether we will be required to delay the acceptance for payment of or payment for appreciation warrants and ADWs tendered in response to the offer pending the outcome of any such matter. There can be no assurance that any such approval or other action, if needed, would be obtained or would be obtained without substantial cost or conditions or that the failure to obtain the approval or other action might not result in adverse consequences to our business and financial condition.
12. Extension of the Offer; Termination; Amendment.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, to extend the period of time during which the offer is open for up to three months, subject to applicable regulatory approvals, and to delay acceptance for payment of, and payment for, any appreciation warrants and ADWs by giving notice of such extension to the Mexican dealer manager and the U.S. tender agent and making a public announcement of such extension. We also reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to terminate the offer and not accept for payment or pay for any appreciation warrants and ADWs not previously accepted for payment or paid for or, subject to applicable law, to postpone payment for appreciation warrants and ADWs if any conditions to the offer fail to be satisfied by giving notice of such termination or postponement to the Mexican and U.S. tender agents and making a public announcement of such termination or postponement. Our reservation of the right to delay acceptance for payment or to delay payment for appreciation warrants and ADWs which we have accepted for purchase is limited by Rule 13e-4(f)(5) promulgated under the Exchange Act, which requires that we must pay the consideration offered or return ADWs tendered promptly after termination or withdrawal of the offer.
34
Subject to compliance with applicable law, we further reserve the right, in our sole discretion, and regardless of whether or not any of the events or conditions described under The Offer5. Conditions of the Offer have occurred or are deemed by us to have occurred, to amend the offer in any respect, including, without limitation, by decreasing or increasing the consideration offered in the offer to holders of appreciation warrants and ADWs or by decreasing or increasing the number of appreciation warrants and ADWs being sought in the offer. Amendments to the offer may be made at any time and from time to time by public announcement, such announcement, in the case of an extension, to be issued no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time which is 8:00 a.m., Mexico City time, on the next business day after the last previously scheduled or announced expiration date.
Without limiting the manner in which we may choose to make a public announcement, except as required by applicable law, we have no obligation to publish, advertise or otherwise communicate any such public announcement other than by making a release through Business Wire, Dow Jones News Service or another comparable news service.
If we materially change the terms of the offer or the information concerning the offer, we will extend the offer to the extent required by Rules 13e-4(d)(2), 13e-4(e)(3) and 13e-4(f)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act. These rules and certain related releases and interpretations of the SEC provide that the minimum period during which a tender offer must remain open following material changes in the terms of the tender offer or information concerning the tender offer (other than a change in price or a change in percentage of securities sought) will depend on the facts and circumstances, including the relative materiality of such terms or information. If we undertake any of the following actions:
| increase or decrease the range of prices to be paid for the appreciation warrants and ADWs, or |
| decrease the number of appreciation warrants and ADWs being sought in the offer, and |
the offer is scheduled to expire at any time earlier than the expiration of a period ending on the tenth business day from, and including, the date that such notice of an increase or decrease is first published, sent or given to holders of our appreciation warrants and ADWs in the manner specified in this Section 11, then the offer will be extended until the expiration of such period of ten business days.
13. Fees and Expenses.

Global Bondholder Services Corporation as information agent, may contact holders of our appreciation warrants and ADWs by mail, telephone, facsimile, telex, telegraph, other electronic means and personal interviews, and may request brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and other nominee holders of appreciation warrants and ADWs to forward materials relating to the offer to beneficial owners.

ANNEX A
KEY TERMS OF APPRECIATION WARRANTS
The following table sets forth the key terms of the appreciation warrants. In both 2002 and 2003, following our annual meetings of our shareholders, the terms of the appreciation warrants were adjusted in accordance with the terms of the warrant deed and the regulations of the Mexican Stock Exchange to reflect anti-dilution adjustments resulting from stock dividends paid to holders of our CPOs and ADS since holders of appreciation warrants and ADWs do not receive any dividends or distributions we pay to our shareholders. As a result of these anti-dilution adjustments, each appreciation warrant is entitled to the Appreciation Value related to 1.101752 CPOs.
Maturity Date |
December 21, 2004. | |
Average Price |
On any trading day, the average of the closing prices of one CPO, as published by the Mexican Stock Exchange, translated into U.S. Dollars at the Peso-Dollar FIX exchange rate, for each of the five consecutive trading days ending on such date. The Peso-Dollar FIX exchange rate is made available on each foreign exchange trading day by the Mexican Stock Exchange and published by the Mexican Central Bank on the business day immediately following each foreign exchange trading day in the Official Gazette of the Federation (Diario Oficial de la Federación). | |
Strike Price |
U.S.$5.445873. | |
Triggering Level |
U.S.$7.261165. | |
Appreciation Value |
Holders of appreciation warrants will be entitled to receive for each appreciation warrant the following Appreciation Value:
On the Maturity Date, the Appreciation Value will equal the difference between the Average Price and the Strike Price multiplied by 1.101752 (to reflect the anti-dilution adjustments described above), if (1) a mandatory redemption has not occurred prior to the Maturity Date, and (2) the Average Price exceeds the Strike Price.
On an early redemption date, the Appreciation Value will equal the difference between the Triggering Level and the Strike Price multiplied by 1.101752 (to reflect the anti-dilution adjustments described above), provided that the Average Price as of the early redemption date equals or exceeds the Triggering Level. The Appreciation Value for the appreciation warrants will therefore be U.S.$2.00 per appreciation warrant on an early redemption date. | |
Mandatory Early Redemption |
The appreciation warrants will be mandatorily redeemed by us prior to the Maturity Date if the Average Price on any trading day equals or exceeds the Triggering Level. | |
Distribution of Appreciation Value on Appreciation Warrants |
On the Maturity Date or on any early redemption date, CPOs equal to the Appreciation Value will be distributed to holders of appreciation warrants, except that entitlements to fractional CPOs will be sold and the proceeds of such sale will be remitted in cash. The number of CPOs to be distributed will be determined by dividing the Appreciation Value by the closing price of one CPO on the Maturity Date or early redemption date, as the case may be, as published by the Mexican Stock Exchange, translated into Dollars at the Peso-Dollar FIX exchange rate. | |
Distribution of Appreciation Value on ADWs |
On the Maturity Date or on any early redemption date, ADSs representing CPOs equal to the Appreciation Value will be distributed to holders of ADWs, except that entitlements to fractional ADSs will be remitted in cash. |

ADWs are held in book-entry form through a DTC participant subject to some restrictions set forth in the ADW deposit agreement. You and your agent should contact the information agent or the dealer manager at the numbers set forth on the back cover of the Offer to Purchase enclosed herewith if you have questions in this regard. You may tender the ADWs registered in your name on the books of the U.S. tender agent by delivering to the U.S. tender agent a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, together with the applicable signature guarantees from an eligible guarantor institution, and the certificate evidencing the ADWs specified in the accompanying letter of transmittal, in each case, on or prior to the expiration date.

ADWS TENDERED AT A PRICE DETERMINED BY YOU:

PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE FOR ADWs
Upon the terms and conditions of the offer, as soon as practicable following the expiration date, CEMEX will:
| determine the purchase price CEMEX, Inc. will pay for appreciation warrants and ADWs validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, taking into account the number of appreciation warrants and ADWs so tendered and the prices specified by tendering holders (other than appreciation warrants and ADWs tendered by persons who are not eligible holders); and |
| cause to be accepted for payment and cause to be paid for, and thereby purchased, appreciation warrants and ADWs validly tendered at prices equal to or below the selected purchase price (including appreciation warrants and ADWs tendered by persons who are not eligible holders) and not properly withdrawn. |
For purposes of the offer, CEMEX will be deemed to have accepted or caused to be accepted for payment and therefore purchased or caused to have been purchased appreciation warrants and ADWs that are validly tendered at or below the selected purchase price and not properly withdrawn, only when, as and if CEMEX gives notice to the Mexican dealer manager or the U.S. tender agent, as applicable, of its acceptance of the appreciation warrants or ADWs for payment.

CEMEX will pay or cause to be paid for appreciation warrants purchased pursuant to the offer by paying to each Mexican broker-dealer tendering appreciation warrants the aggregate purchase price for the appreciation warrants purchased from such Mexican broker-dealer, which will act as agent for the holders on whose behalf it tendered such appreciation warrants for the purpose of receiving payment from us and transmitting payment to such holders. CEMEX, Inc. will pay for ADWs purchased pursuant to the offer by paying the aggregate purchase price for the ADWs to the U.S. tender agent, which will act as agent for tendering holders for the purpose of receiving payment from CEMEX, Inc. and transmitting payment to the tendering holders.

Neither CEMEX, CEMEX, Inc. nor Citibank, N.A. are responsible for the U.S. tender agent in fact being able to convert Mexican Pesos received for U.S. Dollars as a result of exchange controls or otherwise, or for the exchange rate at which such conversion ultimately occurs.

If you check only one box and do not indicate the number of ADWs you wish to tender at that price, all of the ADWs evidenced on all of your ADW certificates and described above in the box entitled, Description of ADWs Enclosed, will be deemed tendered at the Selected Purchase Price. You may only select one price at which you agree to tender your ADWs to CEMEX, S.A. de C.V. per ADW certificate tendered. To tender ADWs validly, one and only one price box must be checked in the pricing section on the letter of transmittal for each certificate evidencing your tendered ADWs.
6. Signatures on Letter of Transmittal; Stock Powers and Endorsements. Exact Signature. If this letter of transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the ADWs tendered, the signature(s) must correspond exactly with the name(s) as written on the face of the certificate(s) without any change whatsoever.
Joint Holders. If the ADWs tendered are registered in the names of two or more joint holders, each holder must sign this letter of transmittal.
Different Names on Certificates. If any tendered ADWs are registered in different names on several certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate letters of transmittal (or manually signed facsimiles) as there are different registrations of certificates.
Endorsements. When this letter of transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the ADWs tendered, no endorsements of certificates representing the ADWs or separate stock powers are required unless payment is to be made or the certificates for ADWs not tendered or not purchased are to be issued to a person other than the registered holder(s). Signature(s) on the certificate(s) must be guaranteed by an eligible institution.
If this letter of transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder(s) of the certificates listed, or if payment is to be made or certificates for ADWs not tendered or not purchased are to be issued to a person other than the registered holder(s), the certificates must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered holder(s) appears on the certificates, and the signatures on the certificates or stock powers must be guaranteed by an eligible institution. See Instruction 1.
Signatures of Fiduciaries. If this letter of transmittal or any certificate or stock power is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or any other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, that person should so indicate when signing and must submit proper evidence satisfactory to CEMEX, S.A. de C.V. of his or her authority to so act.
7. Stock Transfer Taxes. Except as provided in this Instruction 7, no stock transfer tax stamps or funds to cover tax stamps need accompany this letter of transmittal. CEMEX, S.A. de C.V. will pay any stock transfer taxes payable on the transfer to it of ADWs purchased pursuant to the offer. If, however, (a) payment of the purchase price is to be made to any person other than the registered holder(s); (b) ADWs not tendered or rejected for purchase are to be registered in the name(s) of any person(s) other than the registered holder(s); or (c) certificates representing tendered ADWs are registered in the name(s) of any person(s) other than the person(s) signing this letter of transmittal, then the U.S. tender agent will deduct from the purchase price the amount of any stock transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder(s), other person(s) or otherwise) payable on account of the transfer to that person, unless satisfactory evidence of the payment of the taxes or any exemption therefrom is submitted.
10
8. Special Payment and Delivery Instructions. If certificate(s) for ADWs not tendered or not purchased and/or check(s) are to be issued in the name of a person other than the signer of this letter of transmittal or if the certificates and/or checks are to be sent to someone other than the person signing this letter of transmittal or to the signer at a different address, the box entitled Special Payment Instructions and/or the box entitled Special Delivery Instructions on this letter of transmittal should be completed as applicable and signatures must be guaranteed as described in Instruction 1.
9. Irregularities. All questions as to the number of ADWs to be accepted, the price to be paid for ADWs to be accepted and the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any tender of ADWs will be determined by CEMEX, S.A. de C.V. in its sole discretion and that determination will be final and binding on all parties. CEMEX, S.A. de C.V. reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of any ADWs that it determines are not in proper form or the acceptance for payment of or payment for which it determines may be unlawful. CEMEX, S.A. de C.V. also reserves the absolute right to waive any of the conditions of the tender offer or any defect or irregularity in any tender with respect to any particular ADWs or any particular ADW holder, and CEMEX, S.A. de C.V.s interpretation of the terms of the tender offer (including these Instructions) will be final and binding on all parties. No tender of ADWs will be deemed to have been properly made until all defects or irregularities have been cured by the tendering ADW holder or waived by CEMEX, S.A. de C.V. Unless waived, any defects and irregularities in connection with tenders must be cured within the time period, if any, CEMEX, S.A. de C.V. determines. Neither CEMEX, S.A. de C.V., nor any of the U.S. tender agent, the information agent, the dealer manager or any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in any tender or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.
10. Questions and Requests for Assistance and Additional Copies. Questions and requests for additional copies of the Offer to Purchase or the letter of transmittal may be directed to Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the information agent or Citigroup Global Markets Inc., the dealer manager at their respective telephone numbers and addresses set forth on the back page of the Offer to Purchase and set forth below.
11. Tax Identification Number and Backup Withholding. Federal income tax law generally requires that an ADW holder whose tendered ADWs are accepted for purchase, or the ADW holders assignee (in either case, the payee), provide the U.S. tender agent with the payees correct Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), which, in the case of a payee who is an individual, is the payees social security number. If the U.S. tender agent is not provided with the correct TIN or an adequate basis for an exemption, the payee may be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS and backup withholding at the applicable backup withholding rate on the gross proceeds received pursuant to the offer. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained. To prevent backup withholding, each payee must provide the payees correct TIN by completing the Substitute Form W-9 set forth in this letter of transmittal, certifying that the TIN provided is correct (or that the payee is awaiting a TIN) and that
| the payee is exempt from backup withholding, |
| the payee has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that the payee is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends, or |
| the Internal Revenue Service has notified the payee that the payee is no longer subject to backup withholding. |
If the payee lacks a TIN, the payee should
| consult the enclosed Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9 for instructions on applying for a TIN, |
| check Awaiting TIN in the box in Part 3 of the Substitute Form W-9, and |
| sign and date the Substitute Form W-9 and the Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number set forth in this document. |
11
If the payee does not provide the payees TIN to the U.S. tender agent within sixty (60) days, backup withholding will begin and continue until the payee furnishes the payees TIN to the U.S. tender agent. Note that checking the box in Part 3 on the Substitute Form W-9 means that the payee has already applied for a TIN or that the payee intends to apply for one in the near future.
If ADWs are held in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the W-9 guidelines for information on which TIN to report.
Exempt payees (including, among others, all corporations and certain foreign individuals) are not subject to backup withholding and reporting requirements. To prevent possible erroneous backup withholding, an exempt payee should write Exempt in Part 2 of the Substitute Form W-9. See the enclosed W-9 guidelines for additional instructions. In order for a nonresident alien or foreign entity to qualify as exempt, that person must submit a completed IRS Form W-8 Certificate of Foreign Status or a Substitute Form W-8, signed under penalty of perjury attesting to the exempt status. This form may be obtained from the U.S. tender agent.
Non-United States holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of United States federal income tax withholding, including eligibility for a withholding tax reduction or exemption, and the refund procedure.
12. Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Certificates. If your certificate for part or all of your ADWs has been lost, stolen, misplaced or destroyed, you should contact Citibank, N.A., as the transfer agent for the ADWs, between 8:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. (New York City time) at 1 (800) 308-7887, for instructions as to obtaining an Affidavit of Loss. The Affidavit of Loss will then be required to be submitted together with this letter of transmittal in order to receive payment for ADWs that are tendered and accepted for payment. A bond may be required to be posted by you to secure against the risk that the certificates may be subsequently recirculated. You are urged to contact Citibank, N.A. immediately in order to receive further instructions, to permit timely processing of this documentation and for a determination as to whether you will need to post a bond.

than CEMEXs executive officers, directors or subsidiaries or an employee pension fund over which CEMEX exercises investment discretion, or (ii) if less than eighty percent of the appreciation warrants (including appreciation warrants represented by ADWs) beneficially owned by eligible holders are tendered, the highest price at which any appreciation warrant (including appreciation warrants represented by ADWs) is validly tendered by an eligible holder.

Exhibit (a)(1)(F) CEMEX announces offer to purchase for cash all appreciation warrants MONTERREY, MEXICO, November 17, 2003 - CEMEX, S.A. de C.V. (NYSE: CX) announced today that it will commence an offer to purchase for cash all of its appreciation warrants and American Depositary Warrants (ADWs). The offer and withdrawal rights will expire at 4:15 p.m. New York City time, which is 3:15 p.m. Mexico City time, on December 17, 2003, unless the offer is extended. Holders of appreciation warrants and ADWs who wish to tender their securities will be required to specify the price at which they wish to tender, which should be in Mexican Pesos and not greater than MXP 8.10 per appreciation warrant (US$ equivalent of MXP 40.50 per ADW, since each ADW represents five appreciation warrants) and not less than MXP 5.10 per appreciation warrant (US$ equivalent of MXP 25.50 per ADW). When the offer expires, CEMEX will determine a single purchase price in Mexican Pesos for appreciation warrants and ADWs. For purposes of determining this selected purchase price only, appreciation warrants and ADWs beneficially owned by persons who are not eligible holders will not be taken into account. Eligible holders are all holders of appreciation warrants and ADWs other than CEMEX's directors, executive officers, subsidiaries and certain employee benefit plans ("Related Party Holders"). However, all these Related Party Holders will otherwise be able to participate in the offer and have all their appreciation warrants and ADWs purchased at the selected purchase price, assuming they indicated they are willing to sell them at or below that price. Prices submitted by Related Party Holders are being excluded from the determination of the selected purchase price so that the selected purchase price will be determined by holders of our appreciation warrants and ADWs that are not "insiders." The selected purchase price will be either the lowest price that will enable CEMEX to purchase at least eighty percent of the appreciation warrants and ADWs held by eligible holders (which is 45,293,003 appreciation warrants), or if less than eighty percent of the appreciation warrants and ADWs held by eligible holders (which is 45,293,003 appreciation warrants) are validly tendered, the highest price at which any appreciation warrant or ADW is validly tendered by an eligible holder. CEMEX will then purchase at the selected purchase price all appreciation warrants and ADWs held by eligible and non-eligible holders that are validly tendered at prices at or below the selected purchase price, and will not purchase any appreciation warrants or ADWs tendered at prices above the selected purchase price. This press release is for informational purposes only and is not an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell any appreciation warrants or ADWs. The offer outside of Mexico is being made solely by the Offer to Purchase dated November 17, 2003 and the related Letter of Transmittal.

If the date on which such dividend is paid by the Issuer occurs after the final Settlement Date or the final Cash Settlement Date, as the case may be. then such amount shall be promptly paid to Counterparty in whatever currency actually received by Wachovia after Counterparty satisfies its payment obligations hereunder in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Risk Event shall occur or be continuing on any date that such dividend is due to be paid to 10 the Counterparty, then Wachovia shall pay such dividend to the Counterparty when such Risk Event(s) ceases.

Record Date: The date on which the issuer of the Shares determines the holders of record of the Shares with respect to any cash dividend. Reference Currency Payments: Wachovia shall pay any Reference Currency amount, net of any applicable taxes or other charges applicable to a US holder, at such banking institution in Mexico as instructed by the Counterparty two Reference Currency Business Days prior to the date such payment is required to be made hereunder. Adjustments: Method of Adjustment: Calculation Agent Adjustment; provided, however, that if there is any Potential Adjustment Event that includes a bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend paid to the Seller in respect of any Shares actually held by the Seller then such bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend shall promptly be transferred to Buyer, net of taxes and other charges. If the date on which a bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend is paid by the Issuer to the Seller occurs after the final Settlement Date or the final Cash Settlement Date, as the case may be, then such bonus or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend shall be transferred to the Counterparty promptly, net of any applicable taxes or other charges, in whatever currency or form received after Counterparty satisfies its payment obligations hereunder in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Risk Event shall occur or be continuing on any date that such a transfer is to be made, then Wachovia shall transfer such bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend to the Counterparty when such Risk Event(s) ceases, net of taxes and other charges.

Early Unwind Option: So long as no Risk Event has occurred or is continuing, Counterparty shall have the right to unwind this Transaction, in whole or in part, by providing notice to Wachovia (which may be oral or written), specifying Cash or Physical Settlement. In connection with such early unwind, Wachovia and Counterparty shall agree on number of Exchange Business Days comprising an unwind period (the "Unwind Period") and the Number of Shares for which this Transaction is proposed to be terminated on each Exchange Business Day in the Unwind Period. 8 Wachovia may extend or shorten such unwind period and/or change the number of Number of Shares applicable to any day in the Unwind Period in its sole discretion. This Transaction shall be unwound only with respect to the Number of Shares corresponding to the unwind of Wachovia's hedge. Each day in the Unwind Period shall be deemed to be a Valuation Date for purposes of the Settlement mechanics herein. If Cash Settlement is elected then the "Cash Settlement Amount" shall be an amount in USD determined by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Unwind Price. The Cash Settlement Amount shall be paid in the United States in USD. Where, "Unwind Price" means: the product of the applicable Number of Shares and ((i) the Settlement Price minus (ii) the product of the Settlement Price multiplied by 15 basis points minus (iii) the Forward Price, discounted by Wachovia in good faith using its then current Libor interest rate curve from and including the first Valuation Date relating to the unwind to and excluding March 16, 2005).

"Closing Price" means the closing price per share on any day on the Exchange, as converted to USD by Wachovia. In the event that the Shares are no longer 9 listed on the Exchange or are suspended from trading on the Exchange than the Closing Price shall be deemed to be zero. "Share Price Trigger" means: 40% of the Initial Price on the original Trade Date but such dollar amount will be accreted monthly from the Trade Date at a rate of 7% per annum calculated on a semi annual Actual/360 basis through the remaining term of this Transaction. In the event of: (i) a subdivision, consolidation or reclassification of the Shares into a different number or kind of shares of stock of the Issuer, (ii) a dividend on the Shares paid in Shares, (iii) a merger or other transaction whereby the outstanding Shares are exchanged for another class of securities, or securities of another issuer, or (iv) any other similar event.

If the date on which such dividend is paid by the Issuer occurs after the final Settlement Date or the final Cash Settlement Date, as the case may be, then such amount shall be promptly paid to Counterparty in whatever currency actually received by Wachovia after Counterparty satisfies its payment obligations hereunder in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Risk Event shall occur or be continuing on any date that such dividend is due to be paid to 10 the Counterparty, then Wachovia shall pay such dividend to the Counterparty when such Risk Event(s) ceases. If the currency received is not the Reference Currency, the definition of Risk Event shall be read to include the occurrence of any such events in the country of the applicable currency and the applicable place where payment is actually received by Wachovia. Record Date: The date on which the issuer of the Shares determines the holders of record of the Shares with respect to any cash dividend. Reference Currency Payments: Wachovia shall pay any Reference Currency amount, net of any applicable taxes or other charges applicable to a US holder, at such banking institution in Mexico as instructed by the Counterparty two Reference Currency Business Days prior to the date such payment is required to be made hereunder. Adjustments: Method of Adjustment: Calculation Agent Adjustment; provided, however, that if there is any Potential Adjustment Event that includes a bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend paid to the Seller in respect of any Shares actually held by the Seller then such bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend shall promptly be transferred to Buyer, net of taxes and other charges. If the date on which a bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend is paid by the Issuer to the Seller occurs after the final Settlement Date or the final Cash Settlement Date, as the case may be, then such bonus or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend shall be transferred to the Counterparty promptly, net of any applicable taxes or other charges, in whatever currency or form received after Counterparty satisfies its payment obligations hereunder in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Risk Event shall occur or be continuing on any date that such a transfer is to be made, then Wachovia shall transfer such bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend to the Counterparty when such Risk Event(s) ceases, net of taxes and other charges. If the bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend received is not in the Reference Currency, the definition of Risk Event shall be read to include the occurrence of any such events in the country of the applicable currency and the applicable place where the bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend is actually received by Wachovia. If the transfer date is delayed, the Calculation Agent may adjust the Forward Price on or promptly after the date the bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend is paid by the Issuer. Extraordinary Events: For the purposes of Section 9.7 of the Equity Definitions, 11 references to an "option" therein shall be deemed to be references to a "forward". The term "Insolvency" shall include the delisting of the Shares by the Exchange for any reason other than a Risk Event.

Early Unwind Option: So long as no Risk Event has occurred or is continuing, Counterparty shall have the right to unwind this Transaction, in whole or in part, by providing notice to Wachovia (which may be oral or written), specifying Cash or Physical Settlement. In connection with such early unwind, Wachovia and Counterparty shall agree on number of Exchange Business Days comprising an unwind period (the "Unwind Period") and the Number of Shares for which this Transaction is proposed to be terminated on each Exchange Business Day in the Unwind period. 8 Wachovia may extend or shorten such unwind period and/or change the number of Number of Shares applicable to any day in the Unwind Period in its sole discretion. This Transaction shall be unwound only with respect to the Number of Shares corresponding to the unwind of Wachovia's hedge. Each day in the Unwind Period shall be deemed to be a Valuation Date for purposes of the Settlement mechanics herein. If Cash Settlement is elected then the "Cash Settlement Amount" shall be an amount in USD determined by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Unwind Price. The Cash Settlement Amount shall be paid in the United States in USD. Where, "Unwind Price" means: the product of the applicable Number of Shares and ((i) the Settlement Price minus (ii) the product of the Settlement Price multiplied by 15 basis points minus (iii) the Forward Price, discounted by Wachovia in good faith using its then current Libor interest rate curve from and including the first Valuation Date relating to the unwind to and excluding December 10, 2004).

"Closing Price" means the closing price per share on any day on the Exchange, as converted to USD by Wachovia. In the event that the Shares are no longer 9 listed on the Exchange or are suspended from trading on the Exchange than the Closing Price shall be deemed to be zero. "Share Price Trigger" means: 40% of the Initial Price on the original Trade Date but such dollar amount will be accreted monthly from the Trade Date at a rate of 7% per annum calculated on a semi annual Actual/360 basis through the remaining term of this Transaction. In the event of: (i) a subdivision, consolidation or reclassification of the Shares into a different number or kind of shares of stock of the Issuer, (ii) a dividend on the Shares paid in Shares, (iii) a merger or other transaction whereby the outstanding Shares are exchanged for another class of securities, or securities of another issuer, or (iv) any other similar event.

If the date on which such dividend is paid by the Issuer occurs after the final Settlement Date or the final Cash Settlement Date, as the case may be, then such amount shall be promptly paid to Counterparty in whatever currency actually received by Wachovia after Counterparty satisfies its payment obligations hereunder in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Risk Event shall occur or be continuing on any date that such dividend is due to be paid to 10 the Counterparty, then Wachovia shall pay such dividend to the Counterparty when such Risk Event(s) ceases. If the currency received is not the Reference Currency, the definition of Risk Event shall be read to include the occurrence of any such events in the country of the applicable currency and the applicable place where payment is actually received by Wachovia. Record Date: The date on which the issuer of the Shares determines the holders of record of the Shares with respect to any cash dividend. Reference Currency Payments: Wachovia shall pay any Reference Currency amount, net of any applicable taxes or other charges applicable to a US holder, at such banking institution in Mexico as instructed by the Counterparty two Reference Currency Business Days prior to the date such payment is required to be made hereunder. Adjustments: Method of Adjustment: Calculation Agent Adjustment; provided, however, that if there is any Potential Adjustment Event that includes a bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend paid to the Seller in respect of any Shares actually held by the Seller then such bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend shall promptly be transferred to Buyer, net of taxes and other charges. If the date on which a bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend is paid by the Issuer to the Seller occurs after the final Settlement Date or the final Cash Settlement Date, as the case may be, then such bonus or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend shall be transferred to the Counterparty promptly, net of any applicable taxes or other charges, in whatever currency or form received after Counterparty satisfies its payment obligations hereunder in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Risk Event shall occur or be continuing on any date that such a transfer is to be made, then Wachovia shall transfer such bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend to the Counterparty when such Risk Event(s) ceases, net of taxes and other charges. If the bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend received is not in the Reference Currency, the definition of Risk Event shall be read to include the occurrence of any such events in the country of the applicable currency and the applicable place where the bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend is actually received by Wachovia. If the transfer date is delayed, the Calculation Agent may adjust the Forward Price on or promptly after the date the bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend is paid by the Issuer. Extraordinary Events: For the purposes of Section 9.7 of the Equity Definitions, 11 references to an "option" therein shall be deemed to be references to a "forward". The term "Insolvency" shall include the delisting of the Shares by the Exchange for any reason other than a Risk Event. Consequences of Merger Events: (a) Share-for-Share: Cancellation and Payment; and (b) Share-for-Other: Cancellation and Payment; and (c) Share-for-Combined: Cancellation and Payment.

The Cash Settlement Amount shall be paid in the United States in USD. Cash Settlement Payment Dates: Two Reference Currency Business Days following each Valuation Date or, if after such date, the first day after the applicable Valuation Date that settlement of a sale of the Shares customarily would take place through the relevant Clearance System. 3 Physical Settlement: For the purpose of this Transaction, the Conditions to Physical Settlement shall mean that, at least sixty (60) Exchange Business Days prior to the Settlement Date (or such shorter period as agreed to by Wachovia acting in good faith and Wachovia agrees that if it is commercially reasonable to agree to a shorter period in its sole judgment it shall so agree), (i) Counterparty delivers to Wachovia a legal opinion in form and substance satisfactory to Wachovia stating, among other things, that Physical Settlement of this Transaction is permitted under all relevant laws and regulations, including Mexican law and (ii) Counterparty delivers to Wachovia any other evidence requested by Wachovia that Counterparty is authorized and permitted to take physical delivery of the Shares. If Physical Settlement is applicable, on the first day after the Valuation Date that settlement of a sale of the Shares customarily would take place through the relevant Clearance System (the "Settlement Date"), the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller an amount in USD in the United States equal to the product of (a) the Number of Shares and (b) the Forward Price and promptly thereafter the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer the number of Shares equal to the Number of Shares. Occurrence of a Risk Event: Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything contrary in the Definitions, if a Risk Event has occurred or is continuing on any day from the Trade Date to the final Cash Settlement Date or the Settlement Date, as the case may be, then in settlement of this Transaction the following shall apply: 1. On the next Currency Business Day (in New York City for USD) after the declaration of a Risk Event, the Counterparty shall pay to Wachovia in USD in the United States the Forward Price, discounted by Wachovia in good faith using its then current Libor interest rate curve from and including the first Valuation Date relating to the unwind to and excluding December 10, 2004, multiplied by the then outstanding Number of Shares; 2. As soon as practicable following after such payment (or such period that is the then standard settlement period for the settlement of the Shares), Wachovia shall pay to the Counterparty in Mexico the actual peso proceeds of the sale of the then outstanding Number of Shares, net of any applicable taxes or other charges incurred by Wachovia (or if Wachovia is prevented from paying such peso amount or actually selling such Shares or 4 receiving the proceeds of such sale due to the occurrence of a Risk Event(s) then such payment will be made as soon as practicable after the termination of the specific Risk Event(s) that prevented such payment); provided, however, that in the event that a Cash Settlement Date has occurred such payments shall be made with respect to the remaining Number of Shares as adjusted by the Calculation Agent; provided further, however, that in lieu of such settlement the Counterparty may elect to physically settle if the Conditions to Settlement are satisfied on such date, Wachovia shall deliver to the Counterparty the Number of Shares (or if Wachovia is prevented from delivering such Shares due to the occurrence of a Risk Event(s) then such delivery will be made as soon as practicable after the termination of the specific Risk Event(s) that prevented such delivery); and 3. On the next Currency Business Day (in New York City in USD) after demand by Wachovia, the Counterparty shall pay the amount of any taxes or other charges applicable to this Transaction and the sale of Wachovia's hedge shares and incurred by Wachovia from time to time and not previously paid by the Counterparty.

Nontransferability Event: any event (including without limitation any such event that occurs as a result of the enactment, promulgation, execution, ratification, interpretation or application of, or any change in or amendment to, any law, rule or regulation by any Governmental Authority) that makes it impossible, illegal or impracticable for a Reference Investor or a Reference Hedge Counterparty, or materially hinders one or both of its ability, to transfer any funds (in whatever currency denominated), securities or other assets (including but not limited to the transfer of any Shares, Wachovia's hedge Shares or the proceeds thereof) (1) from accounts established in Mexico to accounts established outside Mexico; or (2) between accounts established in Mexico; or (3) from accounts established outside Mexico to accounts established in Mexico.

Reference Hedge Counterparty: Any member of a class of persons that includes counterparty to any transaction involving the sale of the Shares comprising Wachovia's hedge of this Transaction. Early Unwind Option: So long as no Risk Event has occurred or is continuing, Counterparty shall have the right to unwind this Transaction, in whole or in part, by providing notice to Wachovia (which may 8 be oral or written), specifying Cash or Physical Settlement. In connection with such early unwind, Wachovia and Counterparty shall agree on number of Exchange Business Days comprising an unwind period (the "Unwind Period") and the Number of Shares for which this Transaction is proposed to be terminated on each Exchange Business Day in the Unwind Period. Wachovia may extend or shorten such unwind period and/or change the number of Number of Shares applicable to any day in the Unwind Period in its sole discretion. This Transaction shall be unwound only with respect to the Number of Shares corresponding to the unwind of Wachovia's hedge. Each day in the Unwind Period shall be deemed to be a Valuation Date for purposes of the Settlement mechanics herein. If Cash Settlement is elected then the "Cash Settlement Amount" shall be an amount in USD determined by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Unwind Price. The Cash Settlement Amount shall be paid in the United States in USD. Where, "Unwind Price" means: the product of the applicable Number of Shares and ((i) the Settlement Price minus (ii) the product of the Settlement Price multiplied by 15 basis points minus (iii) the Forward Price, discounted by Wachovia in good faith using its then current Libor interest rate curve from and including the first Valuation Date relating to the unwind to and excluding December 10, 2004). The applicable Cash Settlement Amount shall be payable in the United States in USD on each Cash Settlement Payment Date: (a) if the Cash Settlement Amount is positive, by the Seller to the Buyer, or (b) if the Cash Settlement Amount is negative (the absolute value thereof), by the Buyer to the Seller. If Physical Settlement is elected and the Conditions to Physical Settlement are satisfied, on the first day after the Valuation Date that settlement of a sale of the Shares customarily would take place through the relevant Clearance System (the "Settlement Date"), the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller an amount in USD in the United States equal to the Forward Price, discounted by Wachovia in good faith using its then current Libor interest rate curve from and including the first Valuation Date relating to the unwind to and excluding December 10, 2004 and as soon as practicable thereafter the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer the Number of Shares. 9 Share Price Trigger: It shall be an Additional Termination Event under the Agreement if the Closing Price of the Shares on the Exchange on any day is equal to or less than the Share Price Trigger. "Closing Price" means the closing price per share on any day on the Exchange, as converted to USD by Wachovia. In the event that the Shares are no longer listed on the Exchange or are suspended from trading on the Exchange than the Closing Price shall be deemed to be zero. "Share Price Trigger" means: 40% of the Initial Price on the original Trade Date but such dollar amount will be accreted monthly from the Trade Date at a rate of 7% per annum calculated on a semi annual Actual/360 basis through the remaining term of this Transaction. In the event of: (i) a subdivision, consolidation or reclassification of the Shares into a different number or kind of shares of stock of the Issuer, (ii) a dividend on the Shares paid in Shares, (iii) a merger or other transaction whereby the outstanding Shares are exchanged for another class of securities, or securities of another issuer, or (iv) any other similar event. Wachovia shall make appropriate adjustments to the Share Price Trigger.

Cash Dividends: If a Record Date in respect of the Shares occurs on any date from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the final Settlement Date or the final Cash Settlement Date, as the case may be, the Seller shall promptly pay to the Buyer the cash dividend amount paid by the Issuer to the Seller in respect of Shares actually held by the Seller as part of its hedge (in the currency received) whether or not such date occurs after the final Settlement Date or the final Cash Settlement Date, as the case may be. If the date on which such dividend is paid by the Issuer occurs after the final Settlement Date or the final Cash 10 Settlement Date, as the case may be, then such amount shall be promptly paid to Counterparty in whatever currency actually received by Wachovia after Counterparty satisfies its payment obligations hereunder in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Risk Event shall occur or be continuing on any date that such dividend is due to be paid to the Counterparty, then Wachovia shall pay such dividend to the Counterparty when such Risk Event(s) ceases. If the currency received is not the Reference Currency, the definition of Risk Event shall be read to include the occurrence of any such events in the country of the applicable currency and the applicable place where payment is actually received by Wachovia. Record Date: The date on which the issuer of the Shares determines the holders of record of the Shares with respect to any cash dividend. Reference Currency Payments: Wachovia shall pay any Reference Currency amount, net of any applicable taxes or other charges applicable to a US holder, at such banking institution in Mexico as instructed by the Counterparty two Reference Currency Business Days prior to the date such payment is required to be made hereunder. Adjustments: Method of Adjustment: Calculation Agent Adjustment; provided, however, that if there is any Potential Adjustment Event that includes a bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend paid to the Seller in respect of any Shares actually held by the Seller then such bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend shall promptly be transferred to Buyer, net of taxes and other charges. If the date on which a bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend is paid by the Issuer to the Seller occurs after the final Settlement Date or the final Cash Settlement Date, as the case may be, then such bonus or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend shall be transferred to the Counterparty promptly, net of any applicable taxes or other charges, in whatever currency or form received after Counterparty satisfies its payment obligations hereunder in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Risk Event shall occur or be continuing on any date that such a transfer is to be made, then Wachovia shall transfer such bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend to the Counterparty when such Risk Event(s) ceases, net of taxes and other charges. If the bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend received is not in the Reference Currency, the definition of Risk Event shall be read to include the occurrence of any such events in the country of the applicable currency and the applicable place where the bonus, distribution or dividend in 11 stock or other extraordinary dividend is actually received by Wachovia. If the transfer date is delayed, the Calculation Agent may adjust the Forward Price on or promptly after the date the bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend is paid by the Issuer. Extraordinary Events: For the purposes of Section 9.7 of the Equity Definitions, references to an "option" therein shall be deemed to be references to a "forward". The term "Insolvency" shall include the delisting of the Shares by the Exchange for any reason other than a Risk Event. Consequences of Merger Events: (a) Share-for-Share: Cancellation and Payment; and (b) Share-for-Other: Cancellation and Payment; and (c) Share-for-Combined: Cancellation and Payment.

Early Unwind Option: So long as no Risk Event has occurred or is continuing, Counterparty shall have the right to unwind this Transaction, in whole or in part, by providing notice to Wachovia (which may be oral or written), specifying Cash or Physical Settlement. In connection with such early unwind, Wachovia and Counterparty shall agree on number of Exchange Business Days comprising an unwind period (the "Unwind Period") and the Number of Shares for which this Transaction is proposed to be terminated on each Exchange Business Day in the Unwind Period. Wachovia may extend or shorten such unwind period and/or change the number of Number of Shares applicable to any day in the Unwind Period in its sole discretion. This Transaction shall be unwound only with respect to the Number of Shares corresponding to the unwind of Wachovia's hedge. Each day in the Unwind Period shall be deemed to be a Valuation Date for purposes of the Settlement mechanics herein. If Cash Settlement is elected then the "Cash Settlement Amount" shall be an amount in USD determined by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Unwind Price. The Cash Settlement Amount shall be paid in the United States in USD. 8 Where, "Unwind Price" means: the product of the applicable Number of Shares and ((i) the Settlement Price minus (ii) the product of the Settlement Price multiplied by 15 basis points minus (iii) the Forward Price, discounted by Wachovia in good faith using its then current Libor interest rate curve from and including the first Valuation Date relating to the unwind to and excluding November 5, 2004). The applicable Cash Settlement Amount shall be payable in the United States in USD on each Cash Settlement Payment Date: (a) if the Cash Settlement Amount is positive, by the Seller to the Buyer, or (b) if the Cash Settlement Amount is negative (the absolute value thereof), by the Buyer to the Seller. If Physical Settlement is elected and the Conditions to Physical Settlement are satisfied, on the first day after the Valuation Date that settlement of a sale of the Shares customarily would take place through the relevant Clearance System (the "Settlement Date"), the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller an amount in USD in the United States equal to the Forward Price, discounted by Wachovia in good faith using its then current Libor interest rate curve from and including the first Valuation Date relating to the unwind to and excluding November 5, 2004 and as soon as practicable thereafter the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer the Number of Shares. Share Price Trigger: It shall be an Additional Termination Event under the Agreement if the Closing Price of the Shares on the Exchange on any day is equal to or less than the Share Price Trigger. "Closing Price" means the closing price per share on any day on the Exchange, as converted to USD by Wachovia. In the event that the Shares are no longer listed on the Exchange or are suspended from trading on the Exchange than the Closing Price shall be deemed to be zero. "Share Price Trigger" means: 40% of the Initial Price on the original Trade Date but such dollar amount will be accreted monthly from the Trade Date at a rate of 7% per annum calculated on a semi annual Actual/360 basis through the remaining term of this Transaction. In the event of: 9 (i) a subdivision, consolidation or reclassification of the Shares into a different number or kind of shares of stock of the Issuer, (ii) a dividend on the Shares paid in Shares, (iii) a merger or other transaction whereby the outstanding Shares are exchanged for another class of securities, or securities of another issuer, or (iv) any other similar event. Wachovia shall make appropriate adjustments to the Share Price Trigger. In the event of the occurrence of such an Additional Termination Event, Party B shall be the sole Affected Party, this Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and notwithstanding Part l(f) of the Schedule to the Master Agreement, "Loss" and "Second Method" shall apply to this Transaction. Cash Dividends: If a Record Date in respect of the Shares occurs on any date from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the final Settlement Date or the final Cash Settlement Date, as the case may be, the Seller shall promptly pay to the Buyer the cash dividend amount paid by the Issuer to the Seller in respect of Shares actually held by the Seller as part of its hedge (in the currency received) whether or not such date occurs after the final Settlement Date or the final Cash Settlement Date, as the case may be. If the date on which such dividend is paid by the Issuer occurs after the final Settlement Date or the final Cash Settlement Date, as the case may be, then such amount shall be promptly paid to Counterparty in whatever currency actually received by Wachovia after Counterparty satisfies its payment obligations hereunder in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Risk Event shall occur or be continuing on any date that such dividend is due to be paid to the Counterparty, then Wachovia shall pay such dividend to the Counterparty when such Risk Event(s) ceases. If the currency received is not the Reference Currency, the definition of Risk Event shall be read to include the occurrence of any such events in the country of the applicable currency and the applicable place where payment is actually received by Wachovia. Record Date: The date on which the issuer of the Shares determines the holders of record of the Shares with respect to any cash dividend. 10 Reference Currency Payments: Wachovia shall pay any Reference Currency amount, net of any applicable taxes or other charges applicable to a US holder, at such banking institution in Mexico as instructed by the Counterparty two Reference Currency Business Days prior to the date such payment is required to be made hereunder. Adjustments: Method of Adjustment: Calculation Agent Adjustment; provided, however, that if there is any Potential Adjustment Event that includes a bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend paid to the Seller in respect of any Shares actually held by the Seller then such bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend shall promptly be transferred to Buyer, net of taxes and other charges. If the date on which a bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend is paid by the Issuer to the Seller occurs after the final Settlement Date or the final Cash Settlement Date, as the case may be, then such bonus or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend shall be transferred to the Counterparty promptly, net of any applicable taxes or other charges, in whatever currency or form received after Counterparty satisfies its payment obligations hereunder in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Risk Event shall occur or be continuing on any date that such a transfer is to be made, then Wachovia shall transfer such bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend to the Counterparty when such Risk Event(s) ceases, net of taxes and other charges. If the bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend received is not in the Reference Currency, the definition of Risk Event shall be read to include the occurrence of any such events in the country of the applicable currency and the applicable place where the bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend is actually received by Wachovia. If the transfer date is delayed, the Calculation Agent may adjust the Forward Price on or promptly after the date the bonus, distribution or dividend in stock or other extraordinary dividend is paid by the Issuer. Extraordinary Events: For the purposes of Section 9.7 of the Equity Definitions, references to an "option" therein shall be deemed to be references to a "forward". The term "Insolvency" shall include the delisting of the Shares by the Exchange for any reason other than a Risk Event. Consequences of Merger Events: (a) Share-for-Share: Cancellation and Payment; and 11 (b) Share-for-Other: Cancellation and Payment; and (c) Share-for-Combined: Cancellation and Payment.

The price of the Shares falls by 50% or more of the Forward Price; or 2. (a) The credit rating of CEMEX, S.A. de C.V. ("CEMEX") for its unsecured and unsubordinated long term debt, falls two grades below its current rating of BBB-/Ba1 as published by Standard and Poor's Corporation and by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., respectively or (b) should the long term debt of CEMEX not be rated at all or should CEMEX, while its long term debt is rated investment grade as described in (a) above, decide it no longer wishes to be rated (and therefore such ratings are no longer available). Optional Termination Provision: Provided that no Termination Event or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, Cedice may, provided Dresdner agrees, terminate this Transaction on a date prior to the Expiration Date (such date being the "Optional Termination Date"), in which case Cedice shall be the sole Affected Party and shall pay to Dresdner the "Payments on Early Termination" set out below within 1 (one) Currency Business Day following the Optional Termination Date. Payments on Early Termination: In the event that an Additional Termination Event or an Event of Default shall occur under the Agreement in respect of which Cedioe is the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party, then Cedice will be required to pay to Dresdner: - 1. Forward Price * Number of Shares Minus 2. Funding Adjustment Minus 3. Spread Adjustment Funding Adjustment Libor * Days / 360 * Notional Amount where Libor = a rate calculated by the straight line interpolation between the USD - LIBOR rates for two periods, one with a designated maturity equal to the period of time for which rates are available next shorter than the period from the Early Termination Date to the Expiration Date and the other with a designated maturity equal to the period for which rates are Page 6 of 9 available next longer than the period from the Early Termination Date to the Expiration Date. Days = The number of days from the Early Termination Date to the Expiration Date. Spread Adjustment The Spread Adjustment shall be calculated with reference to the period within which the Early Termination Date falls. Spread Adjustment = Spread x SpreadDays/360 x Notional Amount, where: Spread = 1.35 per cent. Where the Early Termination Date falls before 7 April 2004 (the "Midpoint"): SpreadDays = The number of days from the Midpoint to the Expiration Date. Where the Early Termination Date falls on or after the Midpoint: SpreadDays = 0 Subject 10 the payment of the Payments on Early Termination, Dresdner shall deliver the relevant Shares to Cedice on the Early Termination Payment Date. Early Termination Payment Date: 1 (one) Currency Business Day following the Early Termination Date Warranty and Event of Default Further to the arrangements set out in the trust agreement dated 1 October 2003 (the "Trust Agreement") having Banco Nacional de Mexico, S.A., Grupo Financiero Banamex as trustee (the "Trustee") and Dresdner as a first trust settler and beneficiary, Cedice warrants in respect of the 1,734,377 Shares sold in the Secondary Public Offer (as defined in the Trust Agreement) that it has not instructed the Trustee to transfer any of the Shares which Dresdner delivered to the Trustee to Citigroup or to any other underwriter of the Secondary Public Offer which exchanged or may have exchanged the Shares into American Depositary Shares and/or offered or sold the Shares (whether or not in the form of American Depositary Shares) in the United States (a "U.S. Underwriter"), nor has it instructed any person to exchange such Shares into American Depositary Shares. Any breach of this warranty shall constitute an Event of Default under the Agreement. In recognition that a breach of this undertaking shall create risk of damages to Dresdner which are not quantifiable, Cedice agrees to pay to Dresdner (in addition to any other amounts due under the Agreement) liquidated damages in the sum of USD 5,000,000 (five million dollars) upon the breach of this warranty. Payment of these damages is irrevocably guaranteed by Page 7 of 9 CEMEX, as indicated by its signature hereunder. Breach of this warranty will be presumed in the event that the Trustee has recorded in the Individual Registry (as defined and referred in the Trust Agreement) that any Shares have been transferred to a U.S. Underwriter. Restructuring Event: Dresdner and Cedice may agree, between the Trade Date and the Expiration Date, to amend the existing terms of the Transaction (once all terms have been agreed, a "Restructuring"). For the avoidance of doubt such a Restructuring shall not constitute an Early Termination of the Transaction and no Payments on Early Termination shall be payable by Cedice. Provided however that a consequential payment may be due from one party to the other in cash or otherwise (a "Restructuring Charge") the amount of which shall be determined by Dresdner. Except to the extent that the terms of the Transaction have been amended in accordance with the Restructuring all other terms of the Transaction shall continue in full force and effect. Following a Restructuring Dresdner shall confirm the terms of such Restructuring in writing. Restructuring Charge Payment Date: 1 (one) Currency Business Day following the Restructuring.

If the Bank and the Counterparty fail to reach agreement within 10 Business Days from the date of any such notification, the Calculation Agent, acting in good faith, shall have the right (but not the obligation) to determine another exchange or other quotation system (if applicable), to determine and make such amendments to this Confirmation as may be necessary or desirable, or to terminate the transaction. Such termination may occur by the Calculation Agent, by not less than two nor more than 20 Business Days notice to the Counterparty specifying such Delisting Event or Merger Event to be an Additional Termination Event (in respect of which both parties shall be Affected Parties), and designating a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of any or all outstanding Transactions. 10 (b) Following the declaration by the Issuer of the terms of, or the occurrence of, any Potential Adjustment Event, the Calculation Agent, acting in good faith, shall determine (i) whether such Potential Adjustment Event will have a diluting or concentrative effect on the value of the Shares; and (ii) any adjustment(s) to be made to the terms of this Transaction to account for the effect of such Potential Adjustment Event and so that the value of the Transaction for both parties shall as nearly as possible remain unchanged. In the absence of manifest error, such determination by the Calculation Agent shall be definitive. (c) Any adjustments determined pursuant to paragraph (b) above shall be made to the settlement terms of this Transaction with effect from the date on which it is determined by the Calculation Agent that such adjustments should take effect. 6 - Calculation Agent The Calculation Agent shall make calculations, adjustments and determinations and carry out its other functions as provided in this Confirmation and the Agreement acting reasonably and in good faith, and shall promptly notify the parties of such calculations, adjustments and determinations within the time required under this Confirmation. In the event of a dispute as to any calculation, adjustment, determination or other action of the Calculation Agent made under this Confirmation that has not been resolved by agreement between the parties and the Calculation Agent within a period of twenty Business Days, the Bank and the Counterparty shall jointly nominate an independent third party (which shall be a bank or other financial institution of good international reputation with an established expertise in matters relating to this Confirmation) to review and to confirm or replace the disputed decision of the Calculation Agent with a decision of such independent third party. The decision of such independent third party shall be binding in the absence of manifest error. If the Bank and the Counterparty cannot agree on the joint nomination of an independent third party within a further period of ten Business Days, then the dispute shall be submitted to the jurisdiction of the English courts in accordance with Section 13 of the Agreement. The costs and expenses of this independent third party shall be borne by the parties hereto in equal shares. 7- Payment Currency, VAT and Withholding Tax (a) All payments to be made hereunder shall be made in the USD. Unless otherwise provided herein, any amounts, prices or values originally denominated or calculated in a currency other than the USD will be converted into the USD at the Foreign Exchange Rate prevailing on the date and time such prices are determined, valuations are made or payments are required to be made hereunder. (b) All payments provided for are expressed to be net of any applicable value-added, sales or goods and services tax (together, "VAT") or withholding tax, which shall in all cases be in addition. In the event of any imposition of VAT or withholding tax, each party undertakes to each other to use its best endeavours to mitigate the impact of any such imposition, and each party agrees to make such reasonable amendments or additions to this Confirmation. In the event however that no such reasonable amendments are feasible so as to mitigate such impact, the party obliged to impose such VAT or make such withholding shall gross-up so that the net amount received by the other party shall be the same as if no VAT or withholding tax had been imposed. 11 8 - Bank's and Counterparty's Obligations Nothing in this Confirmation shall oblige the Bank or the Counterparty to take any action which is in contravention of applicable laws or regulations and in particular (but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing), each of the Bank and the Counterparty acknowledge that as at the trade date no valid Physical Settlement Notice may be delivered by the Counterparty. 9 - Account Details The account for payments in the Designated Currency to the Bank shall be: Chase Manhattan Bank, New York (CHASUS33) ABA 021000021 Favor Caisse Nationale de Credit Agricole London Branch (AGRIGB2L) - A/C nb 0111-87546-7 The account for payments in the Designated Currency to the Counterparty shall be: A/C 3964215 Citibank, N.A.

Include Dividends: Any dividend which is an ordinary cash dividend (or which is an ordinary cash dividend as to which the holder of Shares has the right to elect to receive Shares in lieu of such ordinary cash dividend) which dividend has an ex-dividend date during the period commencing on, but excluding, February 14, 2003 to, and Reference Number: NY13996 - Amended II Centro Distribuidor de Cemento, S.A. de CV.

Cash/Physical Settlement: To be determined in accordance with "Selection of Cash or Physical Settlement" below. Selection of Cash or Physical Settlement: Selection of Cash or Physical Settlement: Unless Early Cash Settlement is applicable, Counterparty may select whether Cash Settlement or Physical Settlement shall be applicable, provided that Physical Settlement shall be conditioned upon the fulfillment of the Physical Settlement Condition. The Physical Settlement Condition shall be deemed fulfilled, if Bear Stearns determines, in its sole discretion, that Counterparty may take delivery of the Shares and/or the American Depository Receipts of the Shares ("ADRs") and become an owner thereof, without any condition or restrictions on such delivery or ownership, on each of the Notice Date (defined below), the Price Determination Date and the Physical Settlement Date (defined below). In determining whether or not the Physical Settlement Condition has been fulfilled Bear Stearns may require, without limitation, Counterparty to obtain, at its own expense, an opinion(s) of counsel satisfactory to Bear Stearns in its sole discretion as to their form, substance and source with respect to each of the Notice Date, the Price Determination Date and the Physical Settlement Date, such opinions to address, among other things, the permissibility of physical settlement and the absence of any adverse impact on Bear Stearns, including tax impact. In the event that no effective selection is made of whether Cash Settlement or Physical Settlement is applicable or in the event that Bear Stearns determines, in its sole discretion, that the Physical Condition has not been fulfilled, then Cash Settlement shall be applicable. Such selection shall be made by giving irrevocable notice (which will be written notice confirmed orally). Notwithstanding Section 3.2 of the 1996 Definitions, such notice must be given prior to the Expiration Time on an Exchange Business Day which is not less than 45 Exchange Business Days prior to the Expiration Date and not more than 60 Exchange Business Days prior to the Expiration Date (the "Notice Date"). If such notice is given after the Expiration Time on an Exchange Business Day, then that notice shall be deemed given on the next Exchange Business Day.

August 6, 2001 (including amendments October 29, 2002 and February 14, 2003) Page 6 of 18 Cash Settlement: In the event that Cash Settlement applies (and Early Cash Settlement does not apply), then on the Cash Settlement Date, if the Forward Differential is positive, Seller shall pay the Cash Settlement Amount to Purchaser and if the Forward Differential is negative, Purchaser shall pay the Cash Settlement Amount to Seller. If the Cash Settlement Amount is zero, neither party shall pay any amount to the other. In the event that Early Cash Settlement does apply, then on the Counterparty Early Settlement Date, Counterparty will pay Bear Stearns an amount equal to the product of the Forward Price and the Base Amount. On the Cash Settlement Date, Bear Stearns will pay to Counterparty the Final Price. Forward Differential: The Final Price minus the Forward Price. Cash Settlement Amount: The product of (i) the Base Amount and (ii) the absolute value of the Forward Differential. Final Price: The arithmetic mean of the Relevant Prices on each of the Observation Dates. Relevant Price: The closing price per Share as quoted by the Exchange on the related Observation Date, converted from Local Currency to Settlement Currency using the applicable FX Rate. Observation Dates: The Price Determination Date and each of the 19 Exchange Business Days preceding the Price Determination Date. For purposes of these Cash Settlement Terms, the Observation Dates and Final Price shall be determined as if such dates were Averaging Dates for a Share Option Transaction for which the Price Determination Date were the Valuation Date and Modified Postponement were specified as the Consequence of Market Disruption. Cash Settlement Date: The second Exchange Business Day following the Price Determination Date (or if such day is not a Currency Business Day, the next Currency Business Day). Settlement Terms if Physical Settlement is Applicable: Physical Settlement: In the event that Physical Settlement applies, on the Physical Settlement Date, Seller will deliver to Purchaser Shares in number equal to the Base Amount and Purchaser will pay to Seller the Settlement Price. Such payment and such delivery shall be made on a delivery versus payment basis through the Clearance System. Reference Number: NY 13996-Amended II Centro Distribuidor de Cemento, S.A. de C.V. August 6, 2001 (including amendments October 29, 2002 and February 14, 2003) Page 7 of 18 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Physical Settlement applies, then Bear Stearns may elect, in its sole discretion, that on the Physical Settlement Date Seller will deliver to Purchaser, in lieu of Shares, ADRs in number corresponding to the Base Amount and that Purchaser will pay to Seller the Settlement Price; provided that the Calculation Agent may increase the Forward Price to reflect any costs that Bear Stearns incurs with respect to its hedge to this Transaction, in order to deliver ADRs to Purchaser on the Physical Settlement Date. Such payment and such delivery shall be made on a delivery versus payment basis through the Clearance System. Settlement Price: The product of (a) the Base Amount and (b) the Forward Price. Settlement Date: As determined in accordance with Section 6.2 of the 1996 Definitions, save that any references in such provision to "Exercise Date" will be deemed to be references to "Price Determination Date". Applicability of Certain Sections of the 1996 Definitions; Sections 6.6 (Expenses) and, except to the extent expressly set forth to the contrary herein, 6.7 (Dividends) of the 1996 Definitions will apply to any delivery of Shares hereunder, save that the reference to "Exercise Date" will be deemed to be a reference to "Price Determination Date." Section 6.8 (Representation and Agreement) of the 1996 Definitions will apply to any delivery of Shares hereunder, but without limiting the effect of the "Additional Representation of the Counterparty" set forth below. Section 6.9 (Failure to Deliver) of the 1996 Definitions will apply to any obligation to deliver Shares hereunder, save that the reference to "Exercise Date" will be deemed to be a reference to "Price Determination Date."

August 6, 2001 (including amendments October 29, 2002 and February 14, 2003) Page 8 of 18 FX Rate: As to any date, the then-prevailing free-market, or if there is no free market Local Currency/Settlement Currency exchange rate (if transactions of the types described herein in the Local Currency and Settlement Currency can be entered into at such rate), as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner, subject to the Consequence of an Inconvertibility Event. For purposes of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it shall be deemed commercially reasonable for the Calculation Agent, in its sole discretion, to use the Local Currency/Settlement Currency exchange rate derived from, as applicable, the price at which the ADRs trade or the price at which the related ordinary dividend is payable in respect of the ADRs. If any date as to which an FX Rate is required to be determined is not a Currency Business Day for both the Local Currency and the Settlement Currency, then the FX Rate shall be determined on the next following day which is a Currency Business Day for both the Local Currency and the Settlement Currency. Conversion: With respect to any Relevant Price, the FX Rate on the related Observation Date; and with respect to any dividend with respect to which a part of the Dividend Adjustment Amount is being determined, the FX Rate on the date on which a U.K holder of Shares would receive the related dividend (if such is an ordinary cash dividend as to which Counterparty has not elected to receive Shares-in-lieu) or the date of determination of the Share Dividend Value (if otherwise).. Inconvertibility Event: The establishment, determined in the sole discretion of the Calculation Agent, of restrictions or controls that materially limit the ability to exchange Local Currency for Settlement Currency, including establishment of an officially set Local Currency/Settlement Currency exchange rate (if transactions of the types described herein in Local Currency and Settlement Currency cannot be entered into at such rate) at any time during the term of this Transaction, Consequence of an Inconvertibility Event: If an Inconvertibility Event occurs at any time during the term of this Transaction, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the consequence of such event on this Transaction. Adjustments: Potential Adjustment Events: No adjustment shall be made in respect of any event of the type described in Section 9. 1(e)(ii) of the 1996 Definitions other than any Dividend Adjustment Amount calculated in respect thereof. Reference Number: NY13996-Amended II Centro Distribudor de Cemento, S.A. de C.V.

For purposes of an Additional Termination Event which occurs as a result of any of the foregoing events. (a) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party; (b) This Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction; (c) Second Method and Loss will be deemed to apply. A "Price Decrease Event" shall be deemed to have occurred if at any time on any Exchange Business Day, from and including the Trade Date through and including the Price Determination Date the Shares trade at or less than 50% of the Initial Spot Price. For purposes of determining whether or not a Price Decrease Event has occurred, the occurrence of (or an event, which had it occurred at any time within the half-hour prior to the Valuation Time would have been) a Market Disruption Event shall be disregarded. The occurrence of a Price Decrease Event will be determined by the Calculation Agent based on publicly available information. Collateral Provisions: (a) With respect to any Local Business Day designated by Bear Stearns (any such date referred to as a "Credit Support Valuation Date"), Counterparty as Pledgor shall deliver to and at all times maintain with Bear Stearns as Secured Party Collateral having a market value equal to or greater than the Collateral Requirement (defined herein). Counterparty may post USD cash as collateral or provide a letter of credit (an "Acceptable L/C") in the form attached hereto as an Exhibit issued by Barclays Bank PLC, New York Branch (or another bank acceptable to Bear Stearns in its sole discretion) in lieu of some or all of such USD cash collateral. Reference Number: NY13996 - Amended II Centro Distribuidor de Cemento, S.A. de C.V. August 6, 2001 (including amendments October 29, 2002 and February 14, 2003) Page 10 of 18 Each delivery of Collateral required herein (or provision of a letter credit) shall be made by the close of business on the relevant Credit Support Valuation Date if notice requesting such delivery or return is received by 11 A.M. New York City time, or by the next Local Business Day if notice is received after 11 A.M. New York City time. The "Collateral Requirement" shall mean, as of any Credit Support Valuation Date, an amount equal to the product of applicable Collateral Percentage and the Notional Amount. The Collateral Percentage means, the percentage set forth on the Collateral Requirement Annex attached hereto, that corresponds to the VWAP Share Price (defined herein) as of the relevant Credit Support Valuation Date. In the event that the Counterparty has provided a replacement letter of credit or posted additional cash Collateral to avoid the occurrence of an Early Settlement Date, until expiration of the relevant letter of credit, the Collateral Requirement shall be increased by the then-current drawable amount of the expiring letter of credit. The "VWAP Share Price" means the volume-weighted average price per Share as reported on Bloomberg page "LQS NEW", or any successor page, as of the relevant Credit Support Valuation Date, provided, however, that if Bloomberg fails to publish a volume-weighted average price for any Credit Support Valuation Date, then the Calculation Agent shall determine such price based on such other information as it selects in its sole discretion; provided, further, that if there is a Market Disruption Event on such date, the Calculation Agent shall determine a good faith estimate of the volume-weighted average price per Share that would have prevailed but for the occurrence of such Market Disruption Event. (b) These Collateral Provisions shall be deemed a security agreement, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Executed Master Agreement or this Confirmation, these provisions shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflicts or choice of law provisions thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Confirmation or the Master Agreement, in the event of any inconsistency between the Master Agreement and these Collateral Provisions, the Master Agreement shall prevail, except as set forth in the preceding sentence. The Pledgor hereby grants a first priority continuing security interest in all Collateral provided hereunder, the proceeds of any letter of credit, and in any and all substitutions therefor, proceeds thereof and distributions thereon. Interest on any cash Collateral held hereunder shall be credited at Reference Number: NY13996-Amended II Centro Distribuidor de Cemento, S.A. de C.V.

The amount of interest calculated for each day of the interest period shall be compounded monthly. These Collateral Provisions constitute a Credit Support Document and the failure by the Pledgor to deliver Collateral in accordance with these Collateral Provisions (if such failure is not remedied on or before the Local Business Day after notice of such failure is given to such party) shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Pledgor for purposes of Section 5(a)(iii) of the Master Agreement. For purposes of these Collateral Provisions, the term "Local Business Day" shall have the meaning given such term in the Master Agreement, except that references to a payment in clause (a) thereof will be deemed to include a delivery of Collateral hereunder. The parties agree that the obligation to deliver cash collateral hereunder is a "payment obligation" for purposes of the drawing certificate under any Acceptable L/C. 3.

FOUR: TECHNICAL COMMITTEE Under the terms and for the purposes set forth in Article 80 of the Credit Institutions Act, with this legal act, a Technical Committee is established, according to the following rules: (a) Composition: The Technical Committee will be made up of three persons, and CEMEX appoints for these purposes: (i) LORENZO H. ZAMBRANO ________________________ (ii) C.P. GUSTAVO A. CABALLERO __________________ (iii) ARMANDO J. GARCIA S. _______________________ Lorenzo H. Zambrano will be Chairman. The members of the Technical Committee appointed herein may only be removed or replaced as set forth in this section, except in the case of death, total disability - declared by law - or express, written resignation. The chairman may not be removed. As required, the Chairman will submit to the Trustee the related documents, and the Trustee will convey these to CEMEX so that it may make the related new appointment. The Committee Chairman may freely replace or remove the other two members; for these purposes, he will inform the Trustee in this regard. Once the Trustee has received the information, the person appointed is 9 deemed to have assumed the related duties, and the person replaced ceases to carry them out. (b) Operation: The Technical Committee will meet as often as is necessary, and no formal meeting is required. It is sufficient for a written memorandum to be sent, signed by at least two members, one of whom must be the Chairman, clearly setting forth the agreements and decisions made. For them to be deemed valid, the Chairman must send this memorandum to the Trustee, and once the Trustee has received it, the Committee will be subsequently be held harmless for all liability for its related actions, as is set forth in article 80 of the General Law on Credit Institutions. In the event that the Technical Committee agrees to meet at a given time and place, the Trustee may attend the meeting, without a vote. The decisions of the Technical Committee will only be valid if they are approved by the Chairman and one other member. (c) Powers: The Technical Committee will decide on those matters which, in accordance with the stipulations of this agreement, must be submitted for its consideration and on other matters submitted by the Trustee for its consideration. FIVE: OPTIONS. The Technical Committee will be the body to determine who will be deemed ELIGIBLE PERSONS in addition to members of the Board of Directors (Statutory Auditors, whether regular or alternate) of CEMEX, S.A. de C.V., who are deemed ELIGIBLE for purposes of this agreement. The Trustee, through authorization of the Technical Committee, will grant and will legally record the granting of OPTIONS with the ELIGIBLE PERSONS, proceeding pursuant to the following criteria: (a) OPTIONS will be granted whenever the Technical Committee so determines. 10 (b) Each OPTION will specify the number of SHARES that may be subscribed or purchased by the ELIGIBLE PERSON; that number will be determined by multiplying the base salary received by the ELIGIBLE PERSON (payroll together with benefits as is determined by the Technical Committee) by a percentage set by the Technical Committee, itself, and the result will be divided by the per share market value of the SHARES. The market value will be determined by the Technical Committee, taking into account the share price of the SHARES listed on the Mexican Securities Exchange. (c) OPTIONS assigned may be exercised within a period of (10) ten years counted from the year immediately following that in which they are granted and legally recorded. An ELIGIBLE PERSON may, starting in the twelfth month following that in which the OPTIONS were granted exercise only 25% of the OPTIONS per year of the OPTIONS granted him. (In other words, he may purchase or subscribe 25% of the total number of shares covered by the OPTIONS) Subsequently, that is, starting in the (4th) fourth year after the date on which granting of the OPTIONS was legally recorded, until the final year of the 10-year period, he may exercise all the OPTIONS not exercised. In the event that the ELIGIBLE PERSON dies, is declared to be under injunction or is permanently disabled -- through court decision, retires, is dismissed without cause, or retires for reasons attributable to the employer from his position at CEMEX or any of the CONTROLLED CORPORATIONS, once these events are effectively confirmed to the Trustee, the OPTIONS assigned will be 100% exercisable for a maximum period of (3) three years counted from the time when the Trustee states his acceptance. In the event of dismissal with cause of an employee at CEMEX or any of its Controlled Corporations, the Technical Committee will so advise the Trustee, and the Trustee will notify the related ELIGIBLE PERSON that he as a period of (30) thirty days to exercise the OPTIONS assigned to him, with the understanding that if the 11 dismissal was within the (4) four years following that in which the OPTIONS were assigned, they could only be exercised for options assigned within the aforementioned (4) four years, the percentage to which he had a right in accordance with the number of years elapsed since the OPTIONS were assigned, through the date on which his work contract was terminated, and said OPTIONS are applicable insofar as they have not yet been exercised, which is understood, as a matter of law. (d) OPTIONS not exercised within the period stipulated will elapse, and will be null and void. The calculation of periods stipulated will be based on calendar days. (e) As of their appointment, members of the Board of Directors and Statutory Auditors (Regular and Alternate) of CEMEX, S.A. de C.V., will be assigned OPTIONS as indicated by the Technical Committee, and subsections (a), (c) and (d) above will not be applicable. Purchases through the exercise of OPTIONS and sales of the shares purchased will be carried out on predetermined days. SIX: OBLIGATIONS OF THE TRUSTORS. (a): CEMEX and/or the other CONTROLLED CORPORATIONS that are trustors, agree to maintain an adequate number of SHARES in the Trust Assets to cover the exercise of OPTIONS. For such purposes, they may purchase OPTIONS or contribute funds required or obtain the necessary financing, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this agreement, to purchase or subscribe the SHARES required. (b): In the event that the issuer of the SHARES agrees to consolidation, restructuring, spinning off or splitting of 12 its capital stock or the replacement of the securities that cover them, the OPTIONS already granted will be exercisable with regard to the number of SHARES that results, taking into account the new shares issued to replace them or to be added for each of the prior shares. For these purposes, the Trustors (CEMEX and the CONTROLLED CORPORATIONS) agree, in the event that the SHARES were not contributed or purchased by the Trustee, to contribute the SHARES or funds required for their purchase equivalent to the SHARES with regard to which the OPTIONS assigned were exercisable. (c): In the event of Capital Increases through Capitalization of Reserves, the OPTIONS already granted will be exercisable with regard to the number of SHARES that will result, including those issued per outstanding share. In the event that the Beneficiary has not contributed the SHARES, the Trustors agree to make the necessary contributions in order to back the exercise of OPTIONS under the terms and conditions stipulated. *************************************************** SEVEN: SALE AND PAYING IN OF SHARES PURCHASED. Only with the authorization of the Technical Committee may SHARES PURCHASED be delivered to ELIGIBLE PERSONS, provided that the Person is not liable for any debt derived from the exercise of his OPTIONS. For purposes of the sale of the SHARES PURCHASED, in the event that the Eligible Person is liable for debt derived from the purchasing of said shares, the Technical Committee, within (15) fifteen subsequent days, will proceed to sell the SHARES PURCHASED on the Mexican Securities Exchange or in a recognized market, and the proceeds will be applied to payment of the debt, with the remaining amount credited to the related ELIGIBLE PERSON(S). 13 In any other event, they may only give instructions to sell SHARES PURCHASED at intervals of (30) thirty days starting from the time when they are purchased, and the first instructions may be given within (5) five days of their purchase. EIGHT: POWERS OF THE TRUSTEE. The Trustee will have all the powers required to carry out the purposes of this Trust stipulated in section THREE including, but not limited to, the powers and obligations to which Article 356 of the General Law of Securities and Credit Transactions refers. Specifically, the Trustee has the authority to grant powers of attorney in favor of the persons designated by the Technical Committee, so that in the regular Shareholders' Meetings of CEMEX, said attorneys in fact may exercise the corporate rights inherent in SHARES and SHARES PURCHASED. NINE: SUBSCRIPTION OF NEW SHARES AND EXERCISE OF OPTIONS. (i) In the event that CEMEX increases its Capital Stock through new contributions, CEMEX will notify the Technical Committee the day immediately after that on which the Board of Directors approves the related proposal for submission to the regular Shareholders' Meeting. The Technical Committee will notify the Trustors that have contributed SHARES and SHARES PURCHASED to advise them that they have the right to subscribe the shares issued if the capital increase is approved, as the case may be, in the proportion that the SHARES and the SHARES PURCHASED represent the Capital Stock of CEMEX, of which it is holder through the Trustee, and, as the case may be, as is set forth in the Corporate Bylaws of CEMEX and in the resolutions adopted by the Shareholders' Meeting. Trustors who wish to subscribe a capital increase must provide the Trustee with the necessary funds (2) two business days in advance of the date on which the period 14 for exercising preemptive rights expires. In order to exercise the rights of OPTIONS [obtained by Trustee], and OPTIONS [granted by Trustee], a person will proceed as follows: (a) OPTIONS [obtained by Trustee]: When they are purchased, the Trustee will inform the Technical Committee of the related terms and conditions. The Technical Committee must notify the Trustee (2) two business days before the period set for the exercise, so the inherent rights may be exercised. The Technical Committee will handle this, providing the Trust or, as the case may be, authorizing the use of the funds required for this purpose from Trust Assets; OPTIONS [granted by Trustee]: In this case, the ELIGIBLE PERSONS that are holders of these Rights must deliver the required amounts to the Trustee in order to cover the EXERCISE PRICE, on the day set as the exercise date, at the latest. The Trustee, pursuant to instructions given to it by the Technical Committee, may grant loans to the holders of the OPTIONS so that they may cover the EXERCISE PRICE. TEN: DOCUMENTATION OF OPTIONS [granted by Trustee]: As determined by the Trust's Technical Committee and subject to the legal provisions applicable, OPTIONS will be issued giving the right to purchase (or subscribe) SHARES. In a written document, the Trust will make an OFFER to ELIGIBLE PERSONS, offering SHARES for them to buy or subscribe. The ELIGIBLE PERSONS, to whom the Offer is made must confirm their acceptance, without reservations, in the document submitted to him/them by the Trustee, adhering as Trustors to the terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to SHARES PURCHASED. The Offer will contain the number of SHARES, the purchase or subscription price and the periods and conditions for carrying out the purchase or subscription. The ELIGIBLE PERSONS will pay a premium (to be determined by the Technical Committee) to the Trustee, once the Offer is accepted. 15 The Trustee's Offer will indicate the manner and terms in which the premium and the EXERCISE PRICE must be paid, and it will state that the purchase or subscription will be subject to the Trust Assets having a sufficient number of SHARES. It will also include the stipulations contained in Sections THREE and SIX of this Agreement and the condition that SHARES PURCHASED will remain part of the Trust Assets, and that the voting rights may be exercised as indicated by the Technical Committee. To this end, the provisions contained in articles 1804, 1805, 1806, 1807, 1808 and 1810 of the Federal Civil Code will be applicable. ELEVEN: TERM. This Agreement will have a maximum term of (30) thirty years pursuant to the provisions of Article 359 of the General Law on Securities and Credit Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it may be cancelled by agreement of the Trustors, who reserve that right, for all legal purposes that may arise. This Trust may not be cancelled as long as OPTIONS or loans granted to or by the Trust are outstanding, or payment thereof has not been made in full. Upon termination of the Trust, the Trustee will return the property of the Trust Assets to the Trustors who have the right thereto, pursuant to the records and controls that the Trustee must maintain. TWELVE: CONTROL. The Trustee must maintain an individual record for each Trustor, which allows it to identify the portion of the Trust Assets related to each Trustor. In the event of loans granted, the Trust Assets, with the exception of SHARES PURCHASED and their gains or yields, will be proportionally liable in accordance with the 16 proportion contributed by each Trustor. The same criterion to which the payment of Trust Assets refers, will be applied in granting loans All transactions related to administration and custody of the SHARES and SHARES PURCHASED will be effected through the Institution authorized for deposits of securities. SHARES PURCHASED and OPTIONS may not be assigned, pledged or transferred in any way nor may the inherent or resulting rights be assigned without express consent from the Technical Committee. THIRTEEN: PROHIBITIONS. Section XIX, subsection (b) of Article 106 of the Law on Credit Institutions precisely sets forth the following: "Article 106. Credit Institutions are prohibited from: "XIX...Carrying out transactions referred to in Section XV of Article 46 of this Law: b) Assuming liability toward trustors, principals or assignors for default of their borrowers, for the loans they grant, or, or default by those who issue the loans, for the securities they purchase, unless it is through their fault, as is set forth in the final part of Article 356 of the General Law on Securities and Credit Transactions, or guaranteeing returns on the funds whose investment is entrusted to them. If, upon termination of the trust, commission or brokerage established for granting loans, they have not been paid off by the borrowers, the institution must transfer them to the trustor or beneficiary, as the case may be, or to the principal or assignor, refraining from covering these amounts. 17 Any agreement contrary to the provisions in the two prior paragraphs will not have any legal effect whatsoever. The final part of Article 356 (three hundred fifty-six) of the General Law on Securities and Credit Transactions obligates the trustee to carry out his duty pursuant to the contract stipulations, which is to act in a reasonable manner, assuming liability for the losses or a damaged reputation if the assets and rights were damaged through his fault. FOURTEEN: THE TRUSTEE'S RESPONSIBILITY It is expressly agreed that the Trustee will be liable for the obligations that result from signing the Trust, only to the extent of the Trust assets. The Trustee must include this stipulation in the documents and contracts it signs in carrying out the Trust. The Trustee will be held harmless from any liability derived from transactions performed in carrying out the instructions received from the Technical Committee, and it will not be obligated to carry out said instructions if they are contrary to the legal nature or purposes of the Trust. Similarly, it is agreed that the Trustee will not incur any liability whatsoever whenever -- because it did not furnish the funds required for this purpose in a timely manner -- shares issued by CEMEX by virtue of an increase in capital stock were not subscribed, or the rights inherent in the OPTIONS not exercised, pursuant to the provisions set therein. When, in order to carry out the purposes of the Trust, it is necessary to carry out urgent transactions whose omission could significantly damage the Trust Assets, if it is impossible to convene the Technical Committee, the Fiduciary may act on its discretion, by way of exception, always acting in accordance with sound banking practices. The Trustors reserve no rights whatsoever with respect to Trust Assets, while the Beneficiaries have only those rights that expressly result from the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and there no rights, and none created herein, in favor of any person that is not 18 a Beneficiary, under the terms of articles 351 and 355 of the General Law on Securities and Credit Transactions. FIFTEEN: THIRD-PARTY TRANSACTIONS. The Trustee will not be liable in any way whatsoever to Trustors or Beneficiaries for events or transactions with third parties or authorities who impede and add to the difficulties of carrying out the purposes of this Trust, or for actions taken to carry out instructions received from the Technical Committee. SIXTEEN: DEFENSE OF TRUST ASSETS. In the event of defense of the Trust Assets, the Trustee will only be obligated to grant a power of attorney to the person(s) indicated by the Technical Committee, so that the attorney in fact designated by said Committee undertakes the defense of the Trust Assets, without the Trustee having any liability whatsoever for the results of the efforts made by said attorney in fact, or for the payment of his expenses and fees, because these are for the account of the Trust Assets, with the understanding that the power of attorney conferred on the person designated may in no case be for acts of ownership or to underwrite credit instruments. SEVENTEEN: REVOCATION OF AND CHANGES IN THE TRUST. The Trustor CEMEX, S.A. de C.V., reserves the right that with the prior authorization of the Technical Committee, it may change the terms and conditions herein and revoke the Trust, always respecting the provisions of Section ELEVEN.

TWENTY: TRUSTEE'S FEES. The Trustee will collect, as fees for the performance of his duties pursuant to this Agreement, the amounts to be agreed upon in a separate instrument between the Trustee and CEMEX. The Trustee's fees, as well as other expenses that must be disbursed for carrying out this Agreement, will be for the account of CEMEX. Also for the account of CEMEX will be all expenses incurred by the Trustee (including reasonable, documented legal expenses and fees) in the defense of the Trust Assets as well as the fees and expenses incurred by CEMEX and the Trustee to carry out the transactions the Technical Committee instructs the Trustee to carry out, in fulfillment of the purposes established herein.

The Trustors-Trustees acknowledge that the Trustee has certain internal policies regarding the use of manual procedures to receive and process instructions transmitted by fax or other manual means. As a result, the Trustors-Trustees, and the full and alternate members of the Technical Committee subject and bind themselves under the terms of the document containing such policies, which they have entered into with the Trustee prior to signing this Agreement; (b) the Trustee shall not be obligated to exercise a greater degree of care in conserving the Trustee Assets than that degree of care it uses for its own property. The Trustee shall not be obligated to invest the amounts that are deposited in the Trust Account except as stipulated in Clause Six of this Agreement; (c) the Trustee is expressly and irrevocably authorized, upon prior notification to the Technical Committee, to use the amounts deposited in the Trust Account, to pay any costs, fees, commissions and other expenses directly or indirectly derived from this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions established in the clauses of this Agreement; (d) this Agreement expressly establishes all the Trustee's obligations.

In the performance of the transactions cited in Section XV of Article 46 of this Act: (b) Be liable to the trustors, constituents or principals, for default by debtor of the loans granted, or of issuers, for securities acquired, except if through their culpability, as stipulated in the last part of Article 356 of the General Credit Instruments and Transactions Act, or to guarantee receipt of income from funds whose investment is entrusted to them. If at the end of the trust, mandate or commission constituted for the granting of loans, they have not been paid by their debtors, the institution shall transfer them to the trustor or trustees, as the case may be, or to the principal or constituent, refraining from paying the amount thereof. Any agreement contrary to the stipulations of the preceding two paragraphs, shall not have any legal effect whatsoever. The preceding paragraphs of this section shall be prominently inserted in trust, mandate or commission agreements, in addition to a statement from the Trustee to the effect that it unequivocally informed the persons from whom it has received assets for investment of the content thereof." In accordance with amendments to the General Credit Instruments and Transactions Act published in the Official Bulletin of May 23, 2000, and considering that currently paragraph b, of Section XIX of Article 106 to which this clause refers has not been adjusted to those amendments, for all applicable legal effects, 18 the mention made to Article 356 of the General Credit Instruments and Transactions Act shall be deemed as referring to Article 391 of such law.

If the Technical Committee does not present written instructions to the Trustee to that end within the 60 (sixty) calendar days after the date on which the Trustee resigns, the Trustee shall give the Trust's Assets to any competent authority without any liability whatsoever, and the Trustee shall be released from any and all of its obligations derived from this Agreement.

In any case, the Trustee shall be released from each and every one of its obligations derived from this Agreement; (m) the Trustors-Trustees acknowledge that the Trustee forms part of the Banamex Financial Group, an integral part of the group internationally known as "Citicorp," and therefore is subject to the internal policies and rules of Citicorp and its subsidiary Citibank, N.A., regarding the administration and performance of trust services (the "Internal Policies"), wherefore if any instruction from any of the parties or any other act which the Trustee must perform pursuant to this Agreement contradicts the Internal 19 Policies which are in effect on that date, the Trustee shall immediately inform the parties of such circumstance to agree as appropriate, so as to prevent the Trustee from committing a violation of its Internal Policies.
