THIS FOURTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, dated as of November 30, 2020 (the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture”), is by and among New Sunward Holding Financial Ventures B.V., as issuer (the “Company”), New Sunward Holding B.V., a private company with limited liability formed under the laws of the Netherlands (“New Sunward”), CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V., a publicly traded variable stock corporation (sociedad anónima bursátil de capital variable) organized under the laws of Mexico (“CEMEX”), and CEMEX España, S.A. (“CEMEX España”), as guarantors, and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

WHEREAS, the Company, CEMEX, New Sunward, CEMEX México, S.A. de C.V. (“CEMEX México”) and the Trustee heretofore executed and delivered the Indenture, dated as of December 18, 2006 (the “Original Indenture”), with respect to the U.S. $350,000,000 Callable Perpetual Dual-Currency Notes (the “Securities”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Original Indenture, the Company issued and the Trustee authenticated and delivered the Securities, which Securities are guaranteed by each of CEMEX and New Sunward; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 901 of the Original Indenture, the Company, CEMEX, New Sunward, CEMEX México and the Trustee entered into the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 10, 2009 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), in order to secure the Securities; and

WHEREAS, the Company, CEMEX, New Sunward, CEMEX México, the Trustee, Swap 5 Capital (SPV) Limited and C5 Capital (SPV) Limited entered into the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 12, 2010 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), to amend the Original Indenture for such changes contained in the Second Supplemental Indenture, approved by a majority of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Securities and a majority of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount (by aggregate liquidation preference) of the Debentures; and

WHEREAS, the Company, CEMEX, New Sunward and the Trustee entered into the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 24, 2020 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture”, and the Original Indenture, as so amended by the First Supplemental Indenture, the Second Supplemental Indenture and the Third Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), to amend the Original Indenture for such changes contained in the Third Supplemental Indenture; and

WHEREAS, on June 8, 2020 and on August 24, 2020, CEMEX España and New Sunward, respectively, approved the terms pursuant to which CEMEX España would absorb, by merger, New Sunward, with CEMEX España surviving (the “Merger”). The corresponding merger deed was executed on the date of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture and is expected to be filed with the Commercial Registry of Madrid (Registro Mercantil de Madrid) in Madrid, Spain on December 1, 2020. The registration of said merger deed is expected to take place thereafter (most probably before the end of 2020 or soon thereafter). According to Spanish law, upon the merger deed being registered, the Merger would be deemed to be effective as of the date on which the filing of the merger deed took place (i.e., December 1, 2020). For the avoidance of doubt, the Merger is not effective as of the date hereof; and
