the related record date and may either be paid (1) to the person in whose name the certificated
note is registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of the
defaulted interest that is fixed by the Company, written notice of which will be given to the
holders of the notes not less than 30 calendar days prior to the special record date, or (2) at any
time in any other lawful manner.

for trading on the Euro MTF.
Section 213 Global Securities.
Form of Securities

more Global Securities in fully registered form. No Notes will be issued in bearer form. The
initial Depositary for the Global Securities shall be The Bank of New York as Common Depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, and the depositary arrangements shall
be those employed by whoever shall be the Depositary with respect to the Notes from time to time.
Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the
Depositary or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian
therefore, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of
this Indenture.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture or the Securities, no Global Security
may be exchanged, in whole or in part for certificated Notes, and no transfer of a Global Security
in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person, other than the Depositary or a
nominee thereof unless (A) the Depositary has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable
to continue as Depositary for such Global Security and a successor Depositary has not been
appointed within 90 days, or (B) the Depositary has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under
the Exchange Act, or (C) the Company in its sole discretion determines that the Global Securities
(in whole not in part) should be exchanged for certificated Notes and delivers a written notice to
such effect to the Trustee or (D) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of
7
Default with respect to such Global Security. If any of these events occur, the Trustee will
reissue the Global Securities in fully certificated registered form to holders of beneficial
interests in the Global Securities and will recognize the registered holders of the certificated
Notes as Holders under the Indenture.
Each time that the Company transfers or exchanges a new Note in certificated form for another
Note in certificated form, and after the Transfer Agent receives a completed assignment form, the
Company will make available for delivery the new definitive Note at, as the case may be, the
offices of the Transfer Agent in New York City or at the main office of the Transfer Agent in
Luxembourg. Alternatively, at the option of the person requesting the transfer or exchange, the
Company will mail, at that persons risk, the new definitive Note to the address of the person that
is specified in the assignment form. In addition, if the Company issues Notes in certificated
form, then it will make payments of, interest on and any other amounts payable under the Notes to
Holders in whose names Notes in certificated form, are registered at the close of business on the
record date for these payments. If the Notes are issued in certificated form, the Company will
make payments of principal and any redemption payments against the surrender of these certificated
Notes at the offices of the Paying Agent in New York City or, as long as the Notes are listed on
the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for trading on the Euro MTF, at the main office of the Paying Agent
in Luxembourg.
If the Company issues the Notes in certificated registered form, so long as the notes are
listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for trading on the Euro MTF, the Company will maintain a
paying agent and a transfer agent in Luxembourg. The Company will also publish a notice in
Luxembourg in a leading newspaper having general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be
dWort
). The Company will also publish a notice in Luxembourg in a leading newspaper having
general circulation in Luxembourg if any change is made in the Paying Agent or the Transfer Agent
in Luxembourg.
Upon any exchange, the certificated Notes shall be issued in definitive, fully-registered
form, without interest coupons, shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of such
Global Security or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be registered in such names and be in
such denominations as the Depositary shall designate and shall bear any legends required hereunder.
Any Global Security to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the
Trustee, as Security Registrar. With regard to any Global Security to be exchanged in part, either
such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee is acting as custodian
for the Depositary or its nominee with respect to such Global Security, the principal thereof shall
be reduced, by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of any
appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such surrender or adjustment,
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Security issuable on such exchange to or upon the
order of the Depositary or an authorized representative thereof.
The provisions of the
Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System
and the
Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear
and the Management
8
Regulations and
Instructions to Participants
of Clearstream Banking, respectively,
shall be applicable to any Global Security insofar as interests in such Global Security are held by
the agent members of Euroclear or Clearstream Banking. Account holders or participants in
Euroclear and Clearstream Banking shall have no rights under the Indenture with respect to such
Global Security, and the Depositary or its nominee may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and
any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes
whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee,
or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy
or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair the operation of customary practices
governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any Security.

redeemable at the option of the holder thereof.

9
notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice
may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers
either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and
that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the
Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission
of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any
change in the ISIN numbers. The Company may also use a Common Code number.
Section 221 Calculation Agent.
(a) As long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company shall maintain a calculation
agent for calculating the Settlement Rate in respect of the Notes (a Calculation Agent).
The Calculation Agent shall determine the Settlement Rate applicable to the Notes in
accordance with Section 210 hereof and the Dollars to be paid per Ps.1,000,000 principal
amount of Notes.
The Calculation Agent shall notify, in writing to the Company, the Trustee and any
Paying Agent of each Settlement Rate and the Dollar amounts to be paid per Ps.1,000,000
principal amount of Notes as soon as reasonably practicable after determination thereof
(and in no case later than one Business Day prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date,
Redemption Date, Stated Maturity or other Maturity). In addition, the Calculation Agent

pursuant to Section 106 of the Original Indenture and, for so long as any Notes are listed
on the Euro MTF and its rules so require, in a newspaper with general circulation in
Luxembourg in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Euro MTF.

be conclusive and final for all purposes and binding on the Company, the Trustee, the
Depositary and on the Holders of the Notes.

until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest on this Note shall be

FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company designated as its 8.49%
Senior Exchange Notes due 2037 (hereinafter called the
Notes
), limited in aggregate
principal amount to Ps.4,500,000,000, issued and to be issued under a Eleventh Supplemental
Indenture, dated as of , 2007 (hereinafter called the
Eleventh Supplemental
Indenture
), among the Company, The Bank of New York, as Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent,
Transfer Agent, and Calculation Agent, and The Bank of New York (Luxembourg) S.A., as Luxembourg
Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Listing Agent.
Payment of principal, interest, additional amounts and any other amounts due in respect of the
Notes will be made, except as provided below, in Dollars, in amounts determined by translating the
Mexican Peso amounts into Dollars at the Settlement Rate on the applicable Rate Calculation Date.
For the purposes of translating Mexican Peso amounts into Dollars:
Settlement Rate
shall mean the Mexican Peso / U.S. Dollar exchange rate, or the FIX FX
Rate, reported by the
Banco de México
(Bank of Mexico, or Central Bank) as the average of quotes
in the wholesale foreign exchange market in Mexico for transactions payable in 48 hours on its
website (which, at the date hereof, is located at
http://www.banxico.gob.mx
) on the applicable Rate
Calculation Date. In the event that the FIX FX Rate is not so available by 3:00 p.m. (Mexico City
time) on any Rate Calculation Date, then the Settlement Rate for such Rate Calculation Date shall
be determined by taking the arithmetic mean (such mean, the Alternative Rate) of the Mexican Peso
/ U.S. Dollar exchange rate for the foreign exchange market in Mexico for transactions payable in
48 hours offered at or about such time on such date by (i) Banco Nacional de México, S.A.,
Institución de Banca Múltiple, (ii) Banco Inbursa, S.A., Institución de Banca Múltiple, Grupo
Financiero Inbursa, (iii) Bank of America Global FX, (iv) HSBC México, S.A., Institución de Banca
Múltiple, Grupo Financiero HSBC and (v) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the Reference Banks);
provided, however
, that if any of the Reference Banks ceases to offer such an exchange rate, that
bank shall be replaced by the Company, for the purpose of determining the Alternative Rate, with
another leading bank or financial institution. In the event that neither the FIX FX Rate nor the
Alternative Rate can be ascertained on a Rate Calculation Date in accordance with the foregoing,
the Company shall determine the Settlement Rate (and method of determining the Settlement Rate) in
respect of such date in its sole and absolute discretion, taking into consideration all available
information that in good faith it deems relevant.
Rate Calculation Date
shall mean the second Mexican FX Day immediately preceding an interest
payment date, maturity date or redemption date, as applicable. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, if the Rate Calculation Date is not a business day, then the Rate Calculation Date shall
be the immediately preceding Mexican FX day (i.e., prior to such second Mexican FX Day) that is a
business day. For purposes of such calculation, business day shall mean each Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday that is (i) not a day on which banking institutions in New York City or Mexico City
generally are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close and (ii) a day
on which banks and financial institutions in Mexico are open for business with the general public
(it being understood that payments will be made on the Notes only on days other than a Saturday,
Sunday or other day on which banking institutions in London are authorized or obligated by law,
regulation or executive order to close).
Mexican FX Day
shall mean each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday that is (i)
not a day on which banking institutions or foreign exchange markets in Mexico City generally are
authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close and (ii) a day on which
banking institutions and foreign exchange markets in Mexico City are open for business with the
general public.
A Holder of the Notes may elect to receive payment of principal, interest, additional amounts
and any other amounts due in respect of the notes in Mexican Pesos. A Holder who wishes to elect
to receive a particular payment in Mexican Pesos must notify the principal paying agent no later
than the eighth day preceding the applicable payment date (but not earlier than the applicable
record date). Holders who wish to receive payments in Mexican Pesos must deliver a separate notice
of any such election with respect to each payment date. Holders who own beneficial interests in
the Global Note through accounts with Clearstream Banking or Euroclear must arrange to have such
notice given on their behalf.
Additional Amounts
. All payments of amounts due in respect of the Notes by the Company will
be made without withholding or reduction for or on account of any present or future taxes or duties
of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of Mexico any political subdivision thereof or
any agency or authority in or of Mexico (
Taxes
) unless the withholding or deduction of
such Taxes is required by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. In that event,
the Company will pay such additional amounts (
Additional Amounts
) as may be necessary in
order that the net amounts receivable by the Holders after such withholding or deduction shall
equal the respective amounts which would have been receivable in respect of the Notes, in the
absence of such withholding or deduction, which Additional Amounts shall be due and payable when
the amount to which such Additional Amounts relate are due and payable; except that no such
Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to:
(i) any Taxes which are imposed on, or deducted or withheld from, payments made to the
Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes by reason of the existence of any present or former
connection between the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes (or between a fiduciary,
settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such Holder
or beneficial owner, if such Holder or beneficial owner is an estate, trust, corporation or
partnership) and Mexico (or any political subdivision or territory or possession thereof or
area subject to its jurisdiction) (including, without limitation, such Holder or beneficial
owner (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor) (x) being
or having been a citizen or resident thereof, (y) maintaining or having
maintained an office, permanent establishment, fixed base or branch therein, or (z)
being or having been present or engaged in trade or business therein) other than the mere
holding of such Notes or the receipt of amounts due in respect thereof;
(ii) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, stamp, transfer or personal property Tax;
(iii) any Taxes that are imposed on, or withheld or deducted from, payments made to
the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes to the extent such Taxes would not have been so
imposed, deducted or withheld but for the failure by such Holder or beneficial owner of
such Notes to comply with any certification, identification, information, documentation or
other reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection
with Mexico (or any political subdivision or territory or possession thereof or area
subject to its jurisdiction) of the Holder or beneficial owner of such Notes if (x) such
compliance is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation, rule, ruling or
administrative practice in order to make any claim for exemption from, or reduction in the
rate of, the imposition, withholding or deduction of any Taxes, and (y) at least 60 days
prior to the first payment date with respect to which the Company shall apply this clause
(iii), the Company shall have notified all the Holders of Notes, in writing, that such
Holders or beneficial owners of the Notes will be required to provide such information or
documentation;
(iv) any Taxes imposed on, or withheld or deducted from, payments made to a Holder or
beneficial owner of the Notes at a rate in excess of the 4.9% rate of Tax in effect on the
date hereof and uniformly applicable in respect of payments made by the Company to all
Holders or beneficial owners eligible for the benefits of a treaty for the avoidance of
double taxation to which Mexico is a party without regard to the particular circumstances
of such Holders or beneficial owners (provided that, upon any subsequent increase in the
rate of Tax that would be applicable to payments to all such Holders or beneficial owners
without regard to their particular circumstances, such increased rate shall be substituted
for the 4.9% rate for purposes of this clause (iv)), but only to the extent that (x) such
Holder or beneficial owner has failed to provide on a timely basis, at the reasonable
request of the Company (subject to the conditions set forth below), information,
documentation or other evidence concerning whether such Holder or beneficial owner is
eligible for benefits under a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation to which Mexico
is a party if necessary to determine the appropriate rate of deduction or withholding of
Taxes under such treaty or under any statute, regulation, rule, ruling or administrative
practice, and (y) at least 60 days prior to the first payment date with respect to which
the Company shall make such reasonable request, the Company shall have notified the Holders
of the Notes, in writing, that such Holders or beneficial owners of the Notes will be
required to provide such information, documentation or other evidence;
(v) to or on behalf of a Holder of the Notes in respect of Taxes that would not have
been imposed but for the presentation by such Holder for payment on a date more than 15
days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which
payment thereof is duly provided for and notice thereof given to Holders, whichever occurs
later, except to the extent that the Holder of such Notes would have been entitled to
Additional Amounts in respect of such Taxes on presenting such Notes for payment on any
date during such 15-day period; or
(vi) any combination of (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above (the Taxes described in
clauses (i) through (vi), for which no Additional Amounts are payable, are hereinafter
referred to as
Excluded Taxes
).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations on the Companys obligation to pay Additional
Amounts set forth in clauses (iii) and (iv) above shall not apply if (a) the provision of
information, documentation or other evidence described in such clauses (iii) and (iv) would be
materially more onerous, in form, in procedure or in the substance of information disclosed, to a
Holder or beneficial owner of a Note (taking into account any relevant differences between U.S. and
Mexican law, rules, regulations or administrative practice) than comparable information or other
reporting requirements imposed under U.S. tax law, regulations and administrative practice (such as
IRS Forms W-8BEN and W-9) or (b) Rule 3.23.8 issued by the
Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito
Público
(Ministry of Finance and Public Credit), or a substantially similar successor of such rule
is in effect, unless the provision of the information, documentation or other evidence described in
clauses (iii) and (iv) is expressly required by statute, regulation, rule, ruling or administrative
practice in order to apply Rule 3.23.8 (or a substantially similar successor of such rule), the
Company cannot obtain such information, documentation or other evidence on its own through
reasonable diligence and the Company otherwise would meet the requirements for application of Rule
3.23.8 (or such other successor of such rule). In addition, such clauses (iii) and (iv) shall not
be construed to require that a non-Mexican pension or retirement fund or a non-Mexican financial
institution or any other Holder register with the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit for the
purpose of establishing eligibility for an exemption from or reduction of Mexican withholding tax
or to require that a Holder or beneficial owner certify or provide information concerning whether
it is or is not a tax-exempt pension or retirement fund.
At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Notes is
due and payable, if the Company will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such
payment (other than Additional Amounts payable on the date of the Indenture or Supplemental
Indenture relating to such Notes), the Company will deliver to the relevant Trustee an Officers
Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable and the amounts so
payable and will set forth such other information necessary to enable the relevant Trustee to pay
such Additional Amounts to Holders on the payment date. Whenever either in the Indenture or such
Supplemental Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal (and premium,
if any), interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Notes, such mention
shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional
Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable
in respect thereof.
Optional Redemption.
The Company may redeem any of the Notes (the Optional Redemption) in
whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to their maturity, upon not less than 30
days nor more than 60 days prior notice of the date for such redemption (the Redemption Date)
mailed by first-class mail to each Holders registered address, at a redemption price equal to the
greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes redeemed and (2) the sum of the present
values of each remaining scheduled payment of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest
accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (calculated
on the basis of the actual number of days in each such remaining interest period and a 360-day
year) at the M Bono Rate (the Make-Whole Amount), plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest
on the principal amount of the Notes to the Redemption Date.
M Bono Rate means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the
semiannual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated maturity (on a day count basis) of the
Comparable M Bono Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable M Bono Issue (expressed as a
percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable M Bono Price for such redemption date.
Comparable M Bono Issue means the Mexican
Bonos de Desarrollo del Gobierno Federal con Tasa
de Interés Fija
security or securities selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having an
actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the notes to be redeemed that
would be utilized, at the time of the selection and in accordance with customary financial
practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the
remaining term of the notes.
Independent Investment Banker means one of the Reference M Bono Dealers appointed by the
Company.
Comparable M Bono Price means, with respect to any redemption date (1) the average of the
Reference M Bono Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest
such Reference M Bono Dealer Quotation or (2) if the Company obtains fewer than four such Reference
M Bono Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
Reference M Bono Dealer means (i) Casa de Bolsa Santander S.A., (ii) ING (México) S.A. de
C.V. Casa de Bolsa, (iii) BBVA Bancomer S.A., (iv) Banco Nacional de México, S.A., Institución de
Banca Múltiple, Grupo Financiero Banamex and (v) HSBC México, S.A., Institución de Banca Múltiple,
Grupo Financiero HSBC, or their affiliates that are primary Mexican government securities dealers;
provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary Mexican government
securities dealer in Mexico City (a Primary M Bono Dealer), the Company will substitute therefor
another Primary M Bono Dealer.
Reference M Bono Dealer Quotation means, with respect to each Reference M Bono Dealer and
any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the
Comparable M Bono Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in
writing to the Company by such Reference M Bono Dealer at 2:30 pm Mexico City time on the third
business day preceding such redemption date.
On and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion of
the Notes called for redemption (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price
and accrued interest). On or before the Redemption Date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee
money sufficient to pay the Make-Whole Amount and (unless the redemption date shall be an interest
payment date) accrued interest to the redemption date on the Notes to be redeemed on such date. If
less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the
Trustee by such method as the Trustee shall deem appropriate.
The election of the Company to redeem the Notes shall be evidenced by a certificate (a
Make-Whole Redemption Certificate) of an officer of the Company, which certificate shall be
delivered to the Trustee. The Company shall, not less than 45 days nor more than 60 days prior to
the Redemption Date, notify the Trustee in writing of such Redemption Date and of all other
information necessary to the giving by the Trustee of notices of the Optional Redemption. The
Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon the information so furnished by the Company in
the Make-Whole Redemption Certificate and shall be under no duty to check the accuracy or
completeness thereof. Such notice shall be irrevocable and upon its delivery the Company shall be
obligated to make the payment or payments to the Trustee referred to therein at least two Business
Days prior to such Redemption Date.
Notice of the Optional Redemption shall be given by the Trustee to the holders, in accordance
with the provisions of Section 106 of the Original Indenture, upon the mailing by first-class
postage prepaid to each holder at the address of such holder as it appears in the Register not less
than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date.
The notice of Optional Redemption shall state:
(i) the Redemption Date;
(ii) the Make-Whole Amount;
(iii) the sum of all other amounts due to the holders under the Notes and the Indenture;
(iv) that on the Redemption Date the Make-Whole Amount will become due and payable upon each

sufficient therefor have been deposited with the Trustee for the holders.

Redemption Certificate has been delivered to the Trustee and the Company shall have paid to the
Trustee for the benefit of the holders (i) the Make-Whole Amount and (ii) all other amounts due to
the holders and the Trustee under the Notes and the Indenture, then neither the holders nor the
Trustee on their behalf shall any longer be entitled to exercise any of the rights of the holders
under the Notes other than the rights of the holders to receive payment of such amounts from the
Paying Agent and the occurrence of an Event of Default whether before or after such payment by the
Company to the Trustee for the benefit of the holders shall not entitle either the holders or the
Trustee on their behalf after such payment to declare the principal of any Notes then outstanding
to be due and payable on any date prior to the Redemption Date. The funds paid to the Trustee
shall be used to redeem the Notes on the Redemption Date.
Repurchase of Notes upon a Change of Control
. The Company must commence, within 30 days of
the occurrence of a Change of Control, and consummate an Offer to Purchase for all Notes then
outstanding, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes on the date of
repurchase, plus accrued interest (if any) to the date of purchase. The Company is not required to

maintained by Euroclear or Clearstream, pursuant to the

to properly tender notes pursuant to the exchange offer, a

The method of delivery of this Letter of Transmittal, the

hand delivery service. In all cases, holders should allow for
sufficient time to ensure delivery to the Exchange Agent prior
to the expiration of the exchange offer. Holders may request
their broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or nominee
to effect these transactions for such holder. Holders should not
send any Note, Letter of Transmittal or other required document
to Televisa.
If a holder desires to tender notes pursuant to the exchange
offer and (1) certificates representing such notes are not
immediately available, (2) time will not permit such
holders Letter of Transmittal, certificates representing
such notes or other required documents to reach the exchange
agent on or prior to the expiration date, or (3) the
procedures for book-entry transfer (including delivery of an
agents message) cannot be completed on or prior to the
expiration date, such holder may nevertheless tender such notes
with the effect that such tender will be deemed to have been
received on or prior to the expiration date if the guaranteed
delivery procedures set forth in the Prospectus under The
Exchange Offer Guaranteed Delivery Procedures
are followed. Pursuant to such procedures, (1) the tender
must be made by or through an eligible guarantor institution (as
defined in Instruction 2 below), (2) a properly
completed and duly executed notice of guaranteed delivery,
substantially in the form provided by Televisa herewith, or an
agents message with respect to a guaranteed delivery that
is accepted by Televisa, must be received by the exchange agent
on or prior to the expiration date, and (3) the
certificates for the tendered notes, in proper form for transfer
(or a book-entry confirmation of the transfer of such notes into
the exchange agents account at Euroclear or Clearstream as
described in the Prospectus) together with a Letter of
Transmittal (or manually signed facsimile thereof) properly
completed and duly executed, with any required signature
guarantees and any other documents required by the Letter of
Transmittal, or a properly transmitted agents message,
must be received by the exchange agent within three New York
Stock Exchange, Inc. trading days after the execution of the
notice of guaranteed delivery.
Upon request to the exchange agent, a notice of guaranteed
delivery will be sent to holders who wish to tender their
Outstanding Notes according to the guaranteed delivery
procedures set forth above.
2.
Guarantee of Signatures.
Signatures on
this Letter of Transmittal or a notice of withdrawal must be
guaranteed by a member firm of a registered national securities
exchange or of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc., a commercial bank or trust company having an office or
correspondent in the United States or by an eligible
guarantor institution within the meaning of
Rule 17Ad-15
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (banks; brokers and dealers; credit unions; national
securities exchanges; registered securities associations;
learning agencies; and savings associations) unless the notes
tendered hereby are tendered (1) by a registered holder of
notes (or by a participant in Euroclear or Clearstream whose
name appears on a security position listing as the owner of such
notes) who has not completed any of the boxes entitled
Special Issuance Instructions or Special
Delivery Instructions, on the Letter of Transmittal, or
(2) for the account of an eligible guarantor
institution. If the notes are registered in the name of a
person other than the person who signed the Letter of
Transmittal or if notes not tendered are to be returned to, or
are to be issued to the order of, a person other than the
registered holder or if notes not tendered are to be sent to
someone other than the registered holder, then the signature on
this Letter of Transmittal accompanying the tendered notes must
be guaranteed as described above. Beneficial
8
owners whose notes are registered in the name of a broker,
dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee must
contact such broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or
other nominee if they desire to tender notes. See The
Exchange Offer Procedures for Tendering Outstanding
Notes, in the Prospectus.
3.
Withdrawal of Tenders.
Except as
otherwise provided in the Prospectus, tenders of notes may be
withdrawn at any time on or prior to the expiration date. For a
withdrawal of tendered notes to be effective, a written or
facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal must be received by
the exchange agent on or prior to the expiration date at its
address set forth on the cover of this Letter of Transmittal.
Any such notice of withdrawal must (1) specify the name of
the person who tendered the notes to be withdrawn,
(2) identify the notes to be withdrawn, including the
certificate number or numbers shown on the particular
certificates evidencing such notes (unless such notes were
tendered by book-entry transfer) and the aggregate principal
amount represented by such notes, and (3) be signed by the
holder of such notes in the same manner as the original
signature on the Letter of Transmittal by which such notes were
tendered (including any required signature guarantees), or be
accompanied by (i) documents of transfer sufficient to have
the trustee register the transfer of the notes into the name of
the person withdrawing such notes, and (ii) a properly
completed irrevocable proxy authorizing such person to effect
such withdrawal on behalf of such holder. If the notes to be
withdrawn have been delivered or otherwise identified to the
exchange agent, a signed notice of withdrawal is effective
immediately upon written or facsimile notice of such withdrawal
even if physical release is not yet effected.
Any permitted withdrawal of notes may not be rescinded. Any
notes properly withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not validly
tendered for purposes of the exchange offer. However, properly
withdrawn notes may be retendered by following one of the
procedures described in the Prospectus under the caption
The Exchange Offer Procedures for
Tendering at any time prior to the expiration date.
4.
Partial Tenders.
Tenders of notes
pursuant to the exchange offer will be accepted only in
principal amounts of at least Ps.1,000,000 and in integral
multiples of Ps.100,000 in excess thereof. If less than the
entire principal amount of any notes evidenced by a submitted
certificate is tendered, the tendering holder must fill in the
principal amount tendered in the last column of the box entitled
Description of Notes herein. The entire principal
amount represented by the certificates for all notes delivered
to the exchange agent will be deemed to have been tendered
unless otherwise indicated. If the entire principal amount of
all notes held by the holder is not tendered, certificates for
the principal amount of notes not tendered and Exchange Notes
issued in exchange for any notes tendered and accepted will be
sent (or, if tendered by book-entry transfer, returned by credit
to the account at Euroclear or Clearstream designated herein) to
the holder unless otherwise provided in the appropriate box on
this Letter of Transmittal (see Instruction 6), as soon as
practicable following the expiration date.
5.
Signature on this Letter of Transmittal; Bond Powers
and Endorsements; Guarantee of Signatures.
If
this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s)
of the Outstanding Notes tendered hereby, the signature must
correspond with the name(s) as written on the face of
certificates without alteration, enlargement or change
whatsoever. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a
participant in Euroclear or Clearstream whose name is shown as
the owner of the notes tendered hereby, the signature must
correspond with the name shown on the security position listing
the owner of the notes.
If any of the notes tendered hereby are owned of record by two
or more joint owners, all such owners must sign this Letter of
Transmittal. If any tendered notes are registered in different
names on several certificates, it will be necessary to complete,
sign and submit as many copies of this Letter of Transmittal and
any necessary accompanying documents as there are different
names in which certificates are held.
If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the holder, and the
certificates for any principal amount of notes not tendered are
to be issued (or if any principal amount of notes that is not
tendered is to be reissued or returned) to or, if tendered by
book-entry transfer, credited to the account of Euroclear or
Clearstream of the registered holder, and Exchange Notes
exchanged for Outstanding Notes in connection with the exchange
offer are to be issued to the order of the registered holder,
then the registered holder need not endorse any certificates for
tendered notes nor provide a separate bond power. In any other
case (including if this Letter of Transmittal is not signed by
the registered holder), the registered holder must either
properly endorse the certificates for notes tendered or transmit
a separate properly completed bond power with this Letter of
Transmittal (in either case, executed exactly as the name(s) of
the registered holder(s) appear(s) on such notes, and, with
respect to a participant in Euroclear or Clearstream whose name
appears on a security position listing as the owner of notes,
exactly as the name(s) of the participant(s) appear(s) on such
security position listing), with the signature on the
endorsement or bond power guaranteed by a signature guarantor or
an eligible guarantor institution, unless such certificates or
bond powers are executed by an eligible guarantor institution.
See Instruction 2.
9
Endorsements on certificates for notes and signatures on bond
powers provided in accordance with this Instruction 5 by
registered holders not executing this Letter of Transmittal must
be guaranteed by an eligible institution. See Instruction 2.
If this Letter of Transmittal or any certificates representing
notes or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors,
administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of
corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative
capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and
proper evidence satisfactory to the exchange agent of their
authority so to act must be submitted with this Letter of
Transmittal.
6.
Special Issuance and Special Delivery
Instructions.
Tendering holders should indicate
in the applicable box or boxes the name and address to which
notes for principal amounts not tendered or Exchange Notes
exchanged for Outstanding Notes in connection with the exchange
offer are to be issued or sent, if different from the name and
address of the holder signing this Letter of Transmittal. In the
case of issuance in a different name, the
taxpayer-identification number of the person named must also be
indicated. If no instructions are given, notes not tendered will
be returned to the registered holder of the notes tendered. For
holders of notes tendered by book-entry transfer, notes not
tendered will be returned by crediting the account at Euroclear
or Clearstream designated above.
7.
Taxpayer Identification Number and Substitute
Form W-9.
Each
tendering holder is required to provide the exchange agent with
its correct taxpayer identification number, which, in the case
of a holder who is an individual, is his or her social security
number. If the exchange agent is not provided with the correct
taxpayer identification number, the holder may be subject to
backup withholding and a U.S.$50 penalty imposed by the Internal
Revenue Service. If withholding results in an over-payment of
taxes, a refund may be obtained. Certain holders (including,
among others, all corporations and certain foreign individuals)
are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting
requirements. See the enclosed Guidelines for
Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on substitute
Form W-9
for additional instructions.
To prevent backup withholding, each holder tendering Outstanding
Notes must provide such holders correct taxpayer
identification number by completing the Substitute
Form W-9,
certifying that the taxpayer identification number provided is
correct (or that such holder is awaiting a taxpayer
identification number), and that (i) the holder has not
been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that such holder
is subject to backup withholding as a result of failure to
report all interest or dividends or (ii) the Internal
Revenue Service has notified the holder that such holder is no
longer subject to backup withholding. If the outstanding notes
are registered in more than one name or are not in the name of
the actual owner, consult the Guidelines for Certification
of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute
Form W-9
for information on which tax payer identification number to
report.
Televisa reserves the right in its sole discretion to take
whatever steps are necessary to comply with its obligation
regarding backup withholding.
8.
Transfer Taxes.
Televisa will pay all
transfer taxes, if any, required to be paid by Televisa in
connection with the exchange of the Outstanding Notes for the
Exchange Notes. If, however, Exchange Notes, or Outstanding
Notes for principal amounts not tendered or accepted for
exchange, are to be delivered to, or are to be issued in the
name of, any person other than the registered holder of the
Outstanding Notes tendered, or if a transfer tax is imposed for
any reason other than the exchange of the Outstanding Notes in
connection with the exchange offer, then the amount of any
transfer tax (whether imposed on the registered holder or any
other persons) will be payable by the tendering holder. If
satisfactory evidence of payment of the transfer taxes or
exemption therefrom is not submitted with the Letter of
Transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed
directly to the tendering holder.
9.
Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Outstanding
Notes.
Any holder whose Exchange Notes have been
mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed should contact the exchange
agent at the address indicated above for further instructions.
10.
Irregularities.
All questions as to
the validity, form, eligibility, time of receipt, acceptance and
withdrawal of any tenders of notes pursuant to the procedures
described in the Prospectus and the form and validity of all
documents will be determined by Televisa, in its sole
discretion, which determination shall be final and binding on
all parties. Televisa reserves the absolute right, in its sole
discretion, to reject any or all tenders of any notes determined
by it not to be in proper form or the acceptance of which may,
in the opinion of Televisas counsel, be unlawful. Televisa
also reserves the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to
waive or amend any of the conditions of the exchange offer or to
waive any defect or irregularity in the tender of any particular
notes, whether or not similar defects or irregularities are
waived in the case of other tenders. Televisas
interpretations of the terms and conditions of the exchange
offer (including, without limitation, the instructions in this
Letter of Transmittal) shall be final and binding. No
alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted.
Unless waived, any
10
irregularities in connection with tenders must be cured within
such time as Televisa shall determine. None of Televisa, the
exchange agent or any other person will be under any duty to
give notification of any defects or irregularities in such
tenders or will incur any liability to holders for failure to
give such notification. Tenders of such notes shall not be
deemed to have been made until such irregularities have been
cured or waived. Any notes received by the exchange agent that
are not properly tendered and as to which the irregularities
have not been cured or waived will be returned by the exchange
agent to the tendering holders, unless such holders have
otherwise provided herein, promptly following the expiration
date.
11.
Requests for Assistance or Additional
Copies.
Questions relating to the procedure for
tendering, as well as requests for assistance or additional
copies of the Prospectus and this Letter of Transmittal, may be
directed to the exchange agent at the address and telephone
number set forth above. Holders may also contact their broker,
dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee for
assistance concerning the exchange offer.

(together with certificates for Outstanding Notes and all other
required documents) or a notice of guaranteed delivery must be
received by the exchange agent on or prior to 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the expiration date.
