(b) The Guarantee is a continuing obligation of the Sponsor Guarantor (and all Guaranteed Obligations are, or when created will be, conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance on this Agreement) and will remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date.

(c) The Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection and constitutes an additional, separate and independent obligation of the Sponsor Guarantor, which will survive the termination (other than in accordance with their terms) of the Common Terms Agreement, the Senior Loan Agreements and any other Transaction Document.

(d) The Sponsor Guarantor’s obligations under this Agreement can be discharged only by payment in cash or immediately available funds of the Guaranteed Obligations and then only to the extent of such payment.

(e) The Sponsor Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that Article 765 (Concepto) of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code does not apply to the Common Terms Agreement, the Senior Loan Agreements or this Agreement. Accordingly, the Sponsor Guarantor is not entitled to, and otherwise shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived, any right to, discharge its payment obligations under this Guarantee, as the case may be, in Dollars by delivering the equivalent amount in the lawful currency of the Country. Without limiting the generality of this Section 4, the Sponsor Guarantor agrees that, notwithstanding any restriction or prohibition on access to the foreign exchange market in the Country, any and all payments of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be made in Dollars. In the event the Sponsor Guarantor is not legally or de facto allowed to access the foreign exchange market in the Country to acquire the necessary Dollars or remit those funds outside of the Country, the Sponsor Guarantor shall, at its own expense, use any other alternative available to it to obtain Dollars to make the required payment.

(f) Nothing in this Section 4 shall be construed to entitle the Sponsor Guarantor to refuse to make payments in Dollars as and when due for any reason whatsoever (other than full and final payment in Dollars in cash in immediately available funds of all amounts due under the Guaranteed Obligations), including, without limitation, any of the following:

(i) the purchase of Dollars in the Country by any means becomes more onerous or burdensome for the Sponsor Guarantor than as of the date of this Agreement; or

- 19 -

(ii) the exchange rate in force in the Country increases significantly from that in effect as of the date of this Agreement;

(b) All payments due under this Agreement shall be made without deduction for or on account of any such Taxes.

(c) If the Sponsor Guarantor is prevented by operation of law or otherwise from complying with clause (b) of this Section 4.03, the amount due under this Agreement shall be increased to such amount as may be necessary so that each of the Secured Parties receives the full amount it would have received (taking into account any Taxes payable on the amount payable by the Sponsor Guarantor under this clause) had those payments been made without deduction as set forth in clause (b) of this Section 4.03.

(d) If clause (c) of this Section 4.03 applies and any of the Secured Parties so requests, the Sponsor Guarantor shall deliver to such Secured Party, official tax receipts evidencing payment of such Taxes (or certified copies of them) within thirty (30) days of the date of that request.

4.04 Certificate Conclusive. A certificate of any of the Secured Parties stating:

(a) the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (whether currently due and payable or not); or

(b) any amount due and payable by the Sponsor Guarantor under this Agreement;

when delivered will be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

If the Sponsor Guarantor at any time pays to any Secured Party an amount less than the full amount then due and payable to such Secured Party under this Agreement, such Secured Party may allocate and apply such payment in any way or manner and for such purpose or purposes as such Secured Party in its sole discretion determines, notwithstanding any instruction that any Sponsor Party or any other Person may give to the contrary.

4.07 Waiver of Defenses.

(a) The Sponsor Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee will not be affected or impaired by any act, omission, circumstance (other than complete payments of the Guaranteed Obligations in cash or immediately available funds), matter or thing which, but for this Section or any of the other provisions in this Section 4.07, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Agreement or which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Sponsor Guarantor under any applicable law.

(b) The Sponsor Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee will not be affected or impaired by, and the Sponsor Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives the right to invoke any defense based on, the occurrence of the Change in Corporate Form.
