II. Once the Securities have been received in terms of the previous subsection, the Bank of Mexico shall deliver to each Assigned Market Maker the Securities corresponding to the Swap carried out as a result of the relevant Auction.

When the total amount of the value corresponding to the Securities to be received by the Assigned Market Maker is less than the respective total amount of the Securities to be delivered by the Bank of Mexico, the Assigned Market Maker shall be obligated to pay the Bank of Mexico the amount in pesos, national currency, resulting from the difference between said amounts. The Bank of Mexico shall charge the equivalent to the amount resulting against the Assigned Market Maker in the Account that the Bank of Mexico itself holds for it, or

II. When the total amount of the value corresponding to the Securities to be received by the Assigned Market Maker is greater than the respective total amount of the Securities to be delivered by the Bank of Mexico, the Assigned Market Maker shall have the right to receive from the Bank of Mexico the amount resulting from the difference between said amounts. The Bank of Mexico shall credit the equivalent to the amount resulting in terms of this subsection in favor of the Assigned Market Maker in the Account that the Bank of Mexico itself holds for it.

A. In the case of CETE, its value shall correspond to the unit price without making modifications.

B. In the case of BONDE, the settlement must be carried out by adding to the unit price the accrued but unpaid interest, from the date of its issuance or last interest payment, as applicable, until the settlement date, according to the following formula (1):

In this regard, Ni,j shall be determined by the following formula (2):

Ni,j = (Pi - I_dev,i) / (Pi,j - I_dev,i,j) * Ni

Where:
Pi = Fixed price determined by the Bank of Mexico for the Security assigned that the Assigned Market Makers request in call for bids i (the price of CETE must be rounded to seven decimal places and that of BONDE to hundred-thousandths).

Ni,j = Quantity of Securities of series j to be delivered by the Assigned Market Makers for each bid of call for bids i. It shall be truncated to the nearest lower integer.

17a. Default.- In the event that an Assigned Market Maker does not have in the proprietary account it maintains at INDEVAL the total amount of the Securities it must deliver in accordance with what is provided in the second paragraph of section 15 of the procedure included in this Circular, the Bank of Mexico may, without the need for a judicial declaration, carry out the Swap only for the amount of the Securities available in said account, for which the Bank of Mexico shall instruct INDEVAL to carry out the operations indicated below, up to the amount of the Securities that are deposited: (i) the charge of the corresponding Securities from the Assigned Market Maker's account and their simultaneous credit in the Bank of Mexico's account held by INDEVAL, and (ii) the credit of the other Securities subject to the Swap adjusted in accordance with this Circular in the respective securities account of said Assigned Market Maker.
