Compensation of Our Directors and Members of Our Senior Management<br />

For the year ended December 31, 2010, the aggregate amount of compensation we paid, or our subsidiaries paid, to all members<br />

of our board of directors, alternate members of our board of directors and senior managers, as a group, was approximately U.S.$11.2<br />

million. Approximately U.S.$8.8 million of this amount was paid as base compensation and approximately U.S.$2.4 million<br />

corresponding to the compensation expense of 2.4 million CPOs issued during 2010 pursuant to the Restricted Stock Incentive Plan,<br />

or RSIP, described below under “— Restricted Stock Incentive Plan (RSIP).” In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2010, we<br />

set aside or accrued approximately U.S.$0.5 million to provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for all members of our board of<br />

directors, alternate members of our board of directors and senior managers, as a group.<br />

In addition, our key executives, including our senior management, participate in a bonus plan that distributes a bonus pool based<br />

on our operating performance. This bonus is calculated and paid annually, a portion in cash and another portion in restricted CPOs<br />

under a RSIP, according to responsibility level. During 2010, no performance bonuses were paid to our senior managers.<br />

Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP)<br />

In 1995, we adopted an employee stock option plan, or ESOP, under which we were authorized to grant members of our board<br />

of directors, members of our senior management and other eligible employees options to acquire our CPOs. Our obligations under the<br />

plan are covered by shares held in a trust created for such purpose (initially 216,300,000 shares). As of December 31, 2010, options to<br />

acquire 2,760,842 CPOs remained outstanding under the original ESOP, with a weighted average exercise price of approximately<br />

Ps5.85 per CPO, and a weighted average remaining tenure of approximately 0.5 years. Exercise prices and the number of underlying<br />

CPOs are technically adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock dividends and recapitalization of retained earnings.<br />

CEMEX, Inc. ESOP<br />

As a result of the acquisition of CEMEX, Inc. (formerly Southdown, Inc.) in November 2000, we established a stock option<br />

program for CEMEX, Inc.’s executives for the purchase of our ADSs. The options granted under the program have a fixed exercise<br />

price in Dollars equivalent to the average market price of one ADS during a six month period before the grant date and have a 10-year<br />

term. Twenty-five percent of the options vested annually during the first four years after their grant date. The options are covered<br />

using shares currently owned by our subsidiaries, thus potentially increasing stockholders’ equity and the number of shares<br />

outstanding. As of December 31, 2010, considering the options granted since 2001, and the exercise of options that has occurred<br />

through that date, options to acquire 1,429,236 ADSs remained outstanding under this program. These options have a weighted<br />

average exercise price of approximately U.S.$1.36 per CPO, or U.S.$13.60 per ADS as each ADS currently represents 10 CPOs.<br />
