(c) All payments in respect of the Certificates shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, fees, liabilities or similar deductions, and free and clear of, and without any deductions or withholdings whatsoever, and TMM, on behalf of itself and each of the other Sellers, shall indemnify Indemnified Parties for, taxes, levies, duties or charges of any nature now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed on an Indemnified Party by the United States or Mexico or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein ("COVERED TAXES"), except as provided below.

As soon as reasonably practicable after the date of any payment by the Sellers of any Covered Tax in respect of any Investor Certificate, but in any case within 30 calendar days, the Sellers shall furnish to the Trustee for delivery to the Certificate Owners, a certified copy of the original tax receipt (if such a receipt has been issued and, if such tax receipt has not then been issued, the Sellers shall furnish a certified copy thereof to the Trustee for delivery to the Certificate Owners as soon as reasonably practicable after such tax receipt is so issued, but in any case within thirty (30) calendar days thereafter). The obligations of TMM under this SECTION 3.4(c) and under SECTION 3.4(b) above shall survive the termination of the Trust, the sale or transfer of any Certificate or sale or transfer of a participation interest in any Certificate by any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. (d) Each Certificateholder and Certificate Owner (and each Person that acquires an interest in an Investor Certificate by assignment or participation or other transfer) that is not a "United States person" as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by its acceptance of its Investor Certificate (or its interest therein) 51

covenants and agrees that it (or an intermediary which has provided a copy of IRS form W-8IMY indicating that the intermediary holds the following forms) will (i) provide to the Trustee and to the Sellers an appropriately executed copy of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or applicable successor form) certifying that any payments made to or for the benefit of such Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or other Person are effectively connected with the conduct of a United States trade or business (or, alternatively, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, but only if the applicable treaty described in such form provides for a complete exemption from United States federal income Tax withholding in respect of payments on the Certificates) or any successor form, (A) on or prior to the date hereof (or, in the case of a Person acquiring an interest in an Investor Certificate by assignment, participation or other transfer, on or prior to the date of the relevant assignment or transfer or grant of participation), (B) in each third subsequent year (or otherwise at the times required by applicable regulations to establish a complete exemption from United States federal income Tax withholding) prior to the first payment to be made to or for the benefit of such Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or other Person in such year, (C) upon the occurrence of any act by such Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or other Person which would require the amendment or resubmission of any such form previously provided hereunder, and (D) upon the request of the Trustee or any Seller, upon the occurrence of any event (other than as a result of an act by such Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or other Person) which would require the amendment or resubmission of any such form previously provided hereunder, and (ii) notify the Trustee and the Sellers if the certification made on any form provided pursuant to this SECTION 3.4(d) is no longer accurate and true in all material respects.

In the event of any knowledge or opinion of any Seller described in the preceding sentence, such Seller, TMM, the Trustee and each relevant Certificateholder and/or Certificate Owner shall consult in good faith to determine what may be required to avoid or reduce the withholding Tax, and shall each use reasonable efforts to avoid or reduce such withholding Tax; PROVIDED that nothing herein shall require the Trustee or any Certificateholder and/or Certificate Owner to take any action which it in its reasonable judgment determines may be adverse to it or, in the case of the Trustee, the interests of the Trust. Section 3.5 GUARANTOR AS SELLERS' REPRESENTATIVE. Each Seller hereby appoints TMM as its representative ("SELLERS' REPRESENTATIVE"), and the Sellers' Representative hereby accepts such appointment, for receipt of any payment, notice or other communication directed to the Sellers or any Seller pursuant to any of the Transaction Documents and for the taking of any action (including the making of all representations and covenants) which a Seller is required or permitted to undertake or make pursuant to the Transaction Documents. The Trustee may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Transaction Document from the Sellers' Representative as a notice or communication from the Sellers. Without limiting the foregoing, the Paying Agent shall make all payments on the Distribution Date to the Sellers' 52

Representative, for the benefit of the applicable Seller or to an account specified by the Sellers' Representative, and such payment to the Sellers' Representative shall constitute payment to such Sellers for all purposes under the Transaction Documents. TMM hereby accepts such appointment and agrees that it shall not resign from its duties as the Sellers' Representative without the written consent of the Trustee (acting pursuant to written instructions from the Cumulative Required Investor Certificateholders (Super Majority). Each Seller hereby covenants and agrees that each representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made in its name or on its behalf by the Sellers' Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Seller and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Seller to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Seller. Section 3.6 SELLERS MAY OWN CERTIFICATES. Any Seller may become the owner of Certificates, subject to the eligibility requirements for Certificateholders herein, but shall not participate in decisions made or instructions given to the Trustee by the Certificateholders as a group hereunder. Section 3.7 SUBORDINATED CERTIFICATES. Notwithstanding anything in this Master Trust Agreement and any related Supplement to the contrary, no Holder of a Subordinated Certificate shall participate in decisions made or instructions given to the Trustee by the Certificateholders, or any Series of Certificateholders as a group hereunder or under any Supplement. Section 3.8 LIMITATIONS ON SELLERS', TMM MULTIMODAL'S LIABILITY; SELLERS' RIGHT TO SUBROGATION AND REIMBURSEMENT. (a) In an action or proceeding involving any state law, any federal bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization law, or any other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Seller (other than TMM) or TMM Multimodal (as "SUBSIDIARY TRANSFEROR") under the Transaction Documents would otherwise be determined to be voidable, invalid or unenforceable as a fraudulent transfer or otherwise as a result or on account of the amount of such Seller's or TMM Multimodal's liability or obligations under the Transaction Documents, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability or obligation shall, without any further action of such Seller, TMM Multimodal or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount which is valid and enforceable. (b) In the event that any Purchased Receivables, or the value thereof, are or are claimed to have been transferred or paid by a Subsidiary Transferor to the Trustee or any payment by TMM Multimodal in satisfaction of any obligations of TMM or any other Seller (the "AFFILIATE OBLIGATIONS"), such Subsidiary Transferor shall be subrogated to the Trustee's rights against the Guarantor under the Guaranty with respect to such Affiliate Obligations, and shall have a right to reimbursement from the Guarantor with respect to such Affiliate Obligations; PROVIDED that such right of subrogation and right to reimbursement shall be subordinated in all respects to the rights of the Trustee and the other beneficiaries named under the Guaranty, including, but not limited to, the right to payment in full of all amounts payable thereunder. 53

The Collection Account shall be divided into individual subaccounts for each outstanding Series (each, respectively, a "COLLECTION SUBACCOUNT" and, collectively, the "COLLECTION SUBACCOUNTS"), each bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders of such Series with a depository institution or trust company meeting the criteria provided in the related Supplement. The Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Collection Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Collection Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders. Neither the Sellers nor the Servicer, nor any Person or entity claiming by, through or under any Seller or the Servicer, shall have any right, title or interest in (except to the extent expressly provided under this Master Trust Agreement or any Supplement), or any right to withdraw any amount from, the Collection Account.

Pursuant to the Conversion Agreement, each time funds in the Peso Denominated Account reach the amount of Ps. 250,000 (the "PESO THRESHOLD"), the Peso Qualified Institution shall immediately convert all funds then deposited in the Peso Denominated Account into Dollars and shall immediately, but in any case no later than 2:00 p.m. New York City time on the day such conversion is initiated, deposit (by means of a wire transfer as set forth on SCHEDULE 1-C) the resulting Dollar amount into the Collection Account. The Peso Qualified Institution shall convert the Pesos deposited in the Peso Denominated Account into Dollars each time funds deposited therein reach the Peso Threshold. For the conversion of Pesos deposited in the Peso Denominated Account into Dollars for deposit as provided herein, the Peso Qualified Institution, pursuant to the terms of the Conversion Agreement, shall utilize the rate of exchange (net of fees or other charges) of Pesos into Dollars that such Peso Qualified Institution determines, on the date of the corresponding conversion, to be its fixed rate of exchange of Pesos into Dollars. In the event that at any time such fixed rate of exchange of Pesos into Dollars is not available for any reason, the Peso Qualified Institution shall use the rate of exchange which the Peso Qualified Institution uses as the applicable rate of exchange of Pesos into Dollars for its best corporate clients. (d) QUALIFIED INSTITUTION. If the Trustee ceases to be a "Qualified Institution", then the Trustee shall (i) provide each Enhancement Provider and the Servicer with prompt written notice that it is no longer a "Qualified Institution" and (ii) transfer the funds deposited in each of the accounts in the manner directed in writing by the Cumulative Required Investor Certificateholders within 10 Business Days of the day on which the Trustee ceased to be a "Qualified Institution".

All such amounts deposited in such Collection Subaccounts of such Series shall be distributed in accordance with the applicable Supplement(s). Section 4.2 RECEIVABLE SHORTFALL PAYMENTS. (a) (i) If Collections received by the Trust in any Collection Period are less than the Aggregate Required Coverage Amounts for such Collection Period, then Sellers' Representative shall pay to the Trust, by wire transfer into the Collection Account of immediately available funds in Dollars, on the immediately succeeding Transfer Date, the excess of such Aggregate Required Coverage Amounts over such Collections. (ii) If, in any Collection Period, the Sellers generate Eligible Purchased Receivables (excluding all Excess Receivables) having an aggregate Owed Amount at the time of their origination in an amount less than the Aggregate Required Coverage Amounts for such Collection Period, then Sellers' Representative shall pay to the Trust, by wire transfer into the Collection Account of immediately available funds in Dollars, on the immediately succeeding Transfer Date, such excess of the Aggregate Required Coverage Amounts over such Owed Amounts based on the Servicer Report delivered pursuant to SECTION 4.2(c) below. (b) With respect to any Eligible Purchased Receivables generated in any Collection Period, if, as a result of any reductions in the Owed Amount of such Eligible Purchased Receivables (as a result of customer disputes, negotiated discounts for early payment or otherwise, but not as a result of reductions arising from charge-offs), on the Determination Date next succeeding such Collection Period it is determined pursuant to SECTION 4.2(c) below that the sum of such reduced Owed Amounts plus the amount of Collections on such Purchased Receivables is less than the Aggregate Required Coverage Amounts for such Collection Period, the Sellers' Representative shall pay the Trust, by wire transfer into the Collection Account of immediately available funds in Dollars, on such Transfer Date, such shortfall based on the Servicer Report delivered pursuant to SECTION 4.2(d) below. (c) In calculating any Receivable Shortfall Payment for any Collection Period in accordance with SECTION 4.2(b) above, the Servicer shall monitor each Eligible Purchased Receivable in the group of Eligible Purchased Receivables generated in any Collection Period and shall review, in conjunction with the Trustee, any Eligible Purchased Receivable that remains unpaid longer than thirty (30) days past its due date (as set forth on the related invoice). The Trustee, after consulting with the Servicer, shall reasonably determine whether such Eligible Purchased Receivable has not been paid due to credit-related defaults by Customer Obligors or due to customer disputes, negotiated discounts for early payment or other reasons unrelated to the credit of the applicable Customer Obligor. Any Eligible Purchased Receivable determined not to have been paid due to credit-related defaults shall be deemed to be a charge-off, for purposes of calculating the Receivable Shortfall Payment due. 56

(d) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Receivable Shortfall Payments due pursuant to SECTION 4.2(a) or (b) above, shall set forth its calculations with respect to Receivable Shortfall Payments, or if no Receivable Shortfall Payment is due, so indicate with such supporting calculations, on the certificate (a "SERVICER REPORT") of a Responsible Officer in the form of EXHIBIT M, and shall deliver the Servicer Report to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Sellers.

Subordinated Certificate or Sellers' Certificate relating to the Subordinated Payment Obligations for the benefit of the Senior Payment Obligations. (c) In the event that any Subordinated Certificateholder or any Seller receives any payment or other distribution of any kind or character from any source whatsoever, in respect of any of the Subordinated Payment Obligations, such payment or other distribution shall be received in trust for the Trustee and promptly turned over by such Subordinated Certificateholder or Seller to the Trustee for the benefit of the Senior Payment Obligations and shall be allocated by the Trustee and distributed by the Paying Agent in the order of application and distribution set forth in Sections 4.3 and 4.4 of each of the Series 2001-A Supplement and Series 2002-A Supplement or equivalent allocation and distribution sections of another Supplement. Each Subordinated Certificateholder or Seller, as applicable, will mark its books and records so as clearly to indicate that the Subordinated Payment Obligations are subordinated in accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Certificate or Sellers' Certificate, as applicable, and the Master Trust Agreement, and will cause to be clearly inserted in any certificate, promissory note or other instrument which at any time evidences any of the Subordinated Payment Obligations a statement to the effect that the payment thereof is subordinated in accordance with the terms of such Subordinated Certificate, the Sellers' Certificate and the Master Trust Agreement. TMM will cause each Subordinated Certificateholder and each other Seller to execute such further documents or instruments and take such further action as the Trustee may reasonably from time to time request or as may otherwise be necessary in order to carry out the intent of the Subordinated Certificate or Sellers' Certificate. (d) All payments and distributions received by the Trustee in respect of the Subordinated Payment Obligations, to the extent received in or converted into cash, may be applied by the Trustee first to the payment of any and all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses) paid or incurred by the Trustee in enforcing its rights hereunder, or in endeavoring to collect or realize upon any of the Subordinated Payment Obligations or any security therefor, and any balance thereof shall, solely as between the Subordinated Certificateholder and the Trustee, shall be allocated by the Trustee and distributed by the Paying Agent in the order of application and distribution set forth in Sections 4.3 and 4.4 of each of the Series 2001-A Supplement and Series 2002-A Supplement or equivalent allocation and distribution sections of another Supplement, toward the payment of the Senior Payment Obligations remaining unpaid; and, notwithstanding any such payments or distributions received by the Trustee in respect of the Subordinated Payment Obligations and so applied by the Trustee toward the payment of the Senior Payment Obligations, the Subordinated Certificate and Sellers' Certificate shall be subrogated to the then existing rights of the Trustee, if any, in respect of the Senior Payment Obligations, only at such time as the Senior Payment Obligations shall have been paid in full.

If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this SECTION 8.4, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this SECTION 8.4, the Trustee shall promptly resign in the manner and with the effect specified in SECTION 8.5 below.

In addition, the Trustee may be removed by the Cumulative Required Investor Certificateholders (Super Majority) if they deliver written notice to the Trustee to the effect that they have elected to remove the Trustee for cause and the Servicer (provided that no Rapid Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing) consents to such removal (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon receiving such notice of resignation or removal, such Investor Certificateholders shall promptly appoint a successor trustee, reasonably acceptable to the Servicer, by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee, subject to the consent of the Enhancement Provider of any Series (if the Supplement relating to such Series so requires), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee. 91

Section 8.6 SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE. (a) Any successor trustee appointed as provided in SECTION 8.5 above shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Sellers and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein. The predecessor Trustee, provided all sums then due and payable to it hereunder have been paid, shall deliver to the successor trustee all documents and statements held by it hereunder, and the Sellers and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

Section 8.8 APPOINTMENT OF CO-TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE TRUSTEE. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Master Trust Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or a separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this SECTION 8.8, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under SECTION 8.4 above and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under SECTION 8.6 above. (b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions: (i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any laws of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee; (ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and (iii) the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee. (c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Master Trust Agreement and the conditions of this ARTICLE VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Master Trust Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Master Trust Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the 93

liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Servicer. (d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Master Trust Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

The Servicer shall prepare or shall cause to be prepared all tax information required by law to be distributed to Certificateholders and shall deliver such information to the Trustee at least five (5) days prior to the date it is required by law to be distributed to Certificateholders. The Trustee, upon request, will furnish the Servicer with all such information known to the Trustee as may be reasonably required in connection with the preparation of all tax returns of the Trust and shall, upon request, execute such returns. In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Trust, the Investor Certificateholders or the Certificate Owners arising under any tax law, including without limitation U.S. federal, state, local or foreign income or excise taxes or any other tax imposed on or measured by income (or any interest or penalty with respect thereto or arising from a failure to comply therewith). Section 8.10 TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF CERTIFICATES. All rights of action and claims under this Master Trust Agreement or any Series of Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee. Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Certificateholders of any Series in respect of which such judgment has been obtained. Section 8.11 SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT. If the Servicer or any Seller (for 30 days after written notice of such failure from the Trustee) fails to take any action it is required to take pursuant to this Master Trust AGREEMENT, the Trustee, in its discretion may proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Certificateholders of any Series under this Master Trust Agreement by a suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Master Trust Agreement or in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Master Trust Agreement or for the enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the rights of the Trustee or the Certificateholders of any Series. 94

ARTICLE IX TERMINATION Section 9.1 TERMINATION OF TRUST. The respective obligations and responsibilities of each Seller, the Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation of the Paying Agent to make payments to Certificateholders as hereafter set forth) shall terminate, except with respect to the duties described in SECTION 3.4, SECTION 5.6, SECTION 6.9, SECTION 8.1, SECTION 8.2, SECTION 8.16, and SECTION 9.3(b), on the Trust Termination Date.

related Supplement), mailed (or in the case of Bearer Certificates, published in the manner specified in the related Supplement) not later than the Determination Date preceding the date of such final distribution (or in the manner provided by the Supplement relating to such Series) specifying (i) the Distribution Date (which shall be the first Distribution Date after the date on which the deposit is made) upon which final payment of such Investor Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Investor Certificates at the office or offices therein designated (which, in the case of Bearer Certificates, shall be outside the United States), (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made to the Certificateholders on such Distribution Date only upon presentation and surrender of the Investor Certificates at the office or offices therein specified. The Servicer's notice to the Trustee in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be accompanied by an Officer's Certificate setting forth the information specified in ARTICLE V of the applicable Supplement covering the period during the then current calendar year through the date of such notice and setting forth the date of such final distribution. Payments shall be made by the Paying Agent to the Investor Certificateholders in the same manner as provided in the applicable Supplement for other distributions.

The Paying Agent shall pay to the Sellers' Representative upon request any monies held by them for the payment of the principal or interest which remains unclaimed for two (2) years.
