(i) if at the time of the offering of any rights the Depositary determines that it is lawful and feasible to make such rights available to all or certain Holders by means of warrants or otherwise, the Depositary shallwill, after deduction or upon payment of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as set forth in Section 5.06 heretoDepositary, distribute to such Holders entitled thereto warrants or other instruments therefor in such form and upon such terms and representations as it may determine, in proportion to the number of GDSs representing such Deposited Securities held by them respectively, or employ by means of such other method as it may deem feasible in order to facilitate the exercise, sale or transfer of rights by such Holders or the sale or resale of securities obtainable upon exercise of such rights by such Holders; or
(ii) if at the time of the offering of any rights the Depositary determines that it is not lawful or not feasible to make such rights available to certain Holders by means of warrants or otherwise, or if the rights represented by such warrants or such other instruments are not exercised and appear to be about to lapse, the Depositary shall will use its reasonable efforts to sell such rights or such warrants or other instruments, if a market therefor is available, at public or private salesales, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem reasonable and proper and, after deduction or upon payment of the fees and expenses of the DepositaryDepositary and any applicable taxes, allocate the net proceeds of such sales for the account of the Holders otherwise entitled to such rights, warrants or other instruments upon an averaged or other practicable basis without regard to any distinctions among such Holders because of exchange restrictions, restrictions or the date of delivery of any Receipt GDR or ReceiptsGDRs, or otherwise, and distribute such net proceeds so allocated to the extent practicable as in the case of a distribution of cash pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof. Neither the Depositary, the CPO Trustee nor the Company shall be responsible for any failure to determine that it may be lawful or feasible to make such rights available to Holders in general or any Holder or Holders in particular or for the inability or failure to dispose of such rights if any market therefor is available. Because Mexican law does not contemplate the issuance of pre-emptive rights in negotiable form, a liquid market for pre-emptive rights may not exist, and this may adversely affect the amount the Depositary would realize upon disposal of rights and its ability to carry out any disposal of such rights at all. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.04, if If registration (under the Securities Act of 1933 or any other applicable law law) of the rights or the securities to which any rights relate is required in order for the Company to offer such rights to Holders and to sell to them the securities represented by to which such rightsrights relate, the Depositary will not offer such rights to Holders unless and until a registration statement is in effect, or unless the offering and sale of such rights or securities to such Holders are exempt from registration under the provisions of such law and, if requested by the Securities Act Depositary, the Company furnishes to the Depositary an opinion of 1933 and are otherwise permissible under all applicable lawscounsel in the United States for the Company reasonably satisfactory to the Depositary to such effect. The Company shall have no obligation to register such rights or such securities under the Securities Act of 1933 or any other applicable lawsAct.
