Until the Trustee receives a subsequent or supplemental Incumbency Certificate, the Trustee shall be entitled to fully rely with no liability therefor on the last Incumbency Certificate delivered to it for purposes of determining the Authorized Officers. Typographical and other minor errors or defects in any signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Debt Security which has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

(c) In case any Authorized Officer who shall have signed any of the Debt Securities shall cease to be an Authorized Officer before the Debt Security so signed shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by or on behalf of the Republic, such Debt Security nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Debt Security had not ceased to be an Authorized Officer; and any Debt Security may be signed on behalf of the Republic by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Debt Security, shall be Authorized Officers, although at the date of the execution and delivery of this Indenture any such person was not an Authorized Officer.

Section 2.3. Certificate of Authentication. Only such Debt Securities as shall bear thereon a certification of authentication substantially as set forth below in this Section 2.3, executed by the Trustee by manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certification by the Trustee upon any Debt Security executed by or on behalf of the Republic shall be conclusive evidence that the Debt Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder thereof is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Debt Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Republic, and the Republic shall deliver such Debt Security to the Trustee for cancellation, for all purposes of this Indenture such Debt Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.4. Denominations The Debt Securities of each Series shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 2.1.

Section 2.5. Form of Debt Securities. (a) The Debt Securities of each Series shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A or B, as applicable, and Exhibit C, or in such other form as shall be established by or pursuant to the Authorization contemplated by Section 2.1 or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange or Depositary therefor or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the Authorized Officers executing such Debt Securities, as evidenced by their execution thereof.

(b) Each Debt Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

(c) If the Republic shall establish pursuant to an Authorization or supplemental indenture that the Debt Securities of a Series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Authorized Officers shall execute and the Trustee, upon receipt of such executed Global Securities and an Officer’s Certificate directing the same, shall authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities that (i) shall represent an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of such Series to be represented by one or more Global Securities, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary’s instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the Certificated Securities represented hereby, this Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or nominee of such successor Depositary.”

(d) Each Depositary designated pursuant to this Section 2.5 must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a “clearing agency” that is registered, exempt from registration or not required to be registered under the Exchange Act and/or any other applicable statute or regulation.

(e) If at any time the Depositary for any Series of Debt Securities represented by Global Securities notifies the Republic that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Securities or if at any time the Depositary for such Global Securities ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under any applicable statute or regulation or if at any time the Depositary for such Global Securities shall no longer be eligible to act as such for such Global Securities, the Republic shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such Global Securities. If a successor Depositary for such Global Securities is not appointed by the Republic within 90 days after the Republic receives notice from the Depositary or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Republic’s election pursuant to this Section 2.5 that Debt Securities of that Series be represented by Global Securities shall no longer be effective and the Republic will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate directing the authentication and delivery of Certificated Securities and an adequate supply of Certificated Securities, will authenticate and deliver to each beneficial owner identified in writing by the Depositary, without charge to the Holder, Certificated Securities of that Series in any authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of its beneficial interests in such Global Securities in exchange for its beneficial interests in such Global Securities.

(f) If the Trustee has instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding in a court to enforce the rights of the Holders of Debt Securities of any Series thereunder and the Trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the Trustee to obtain possession of the Debt Securities of such Series, the Trustee may in its sole discretion determine that the Debt Securities of such Series represented by Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Securities. Additionally, the Republic, at its option, may determine to terminate the book-entry system through the Depositary for any Series and make Certificated Securities of such Series available to the Holders of Debt Securities of such Series or their nominees. In either such event, the Republic hereby agrees to execute and the Trustee, upon receipt from the Republic of an adequate supply of Certificated Securities of such Series, will authenticate and deliver to each beneficial owner identified in writing to the Depositary, in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Securities of such Series, Certificated Securities of such Series (and, if the Trustee has in its possession Certificated Securities of such Series previously executed by the Republic, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver such Certificated Securities), in authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of its beneficial interest in such Global Securities of such Series.

(g) Certificated Securities will be issued in exchange for interests in Global Securities only pursuant to Section 2.5(e) or 2.5(f) hereof.

Section 2.6. Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Debt Securities. (a) The Republic will keep books for the exchange and registration of Debt Securities at the Corporate Trust Office. The Trustee will keep a record of all Debt Securities (the “Register”) at said office. The Register will show the principal amount of each Series of Debt Securities, the date of issue, all subsequent transfers and changes of ownership in respect thereof and the names, tax identifying numbers and addresses of the Holders of each Series. The Trustee will also maintain a record (the “Record”) which will include notations as to whether Debt Securities have been paid or cancelled, and, in the case of mutilated, purportedly destroyed, stolen or lost Debt Securities, whether such Debt Securities have been replaced. In the case of the replacement of any of the Debt Securities, the Record will include notations of the Debt Security so replaced, and the Debt Security issued in replacement thereof. In the case of the cancellation of any Series of Debt Securities, the Record will include notations of the Series of Debt Securities so cancelled and the date on which such Series was cancelled. The Trustee shall at all reasonable times upon reasonable notice during office hours make the Register and the Record available to the Republic, or any Person authorized by the Republic in writing for inspection and for the taking of copies thereof or extracts therefrom, and at the sole expense of the Republic, the Trustee shall deliver to such Persons all lists of Holders of Debt Securities, their addresses and amounts of such holdings as such Person may request. The Register and the Record shall be in written form in the English language or in any other form capable of being converted into such form within a reasonable time.

(b) Subject to the requirements of paragraph 8(c) of the Terms, the Holder of Certificated Securities may transfer the same in whole or in part (in an amount equal to the authorized denomination or any integral multiple thereof) by surrendering such Certificated Securities at the Corporate Trust Office or at the office of any trustee paying agent, transfer agent or registrar, together with an executed instrument of transfer substantially in the form of Exhibit F to this Indenture. In exchange for Certificated Securities of any Series properly presented for transfer, the Trustee shall, within three Business Days of such request if made at such Corporate Trust Office, or within ten Business Days if made at the office of a trustee paying agent (other than the Trustee), authenticate and deliver at such Corporate Trust Office, or at the office of any trustee paying agent, as the case may be, to the transferee or send by first class mail (at the risk of the transferee) to such address as the transferee may request, Certificated Securities, as the case may require, of such Series for like aggregate principal amount and of such authorized denomination or denominations as may be requested. The presentation for transfer of any Certificated Securities shall not be valid unless made at the Corporate Trust Office, at the office of any trustee paying agent or at any other office acceptable to the Trustee, by the registered Holder in person, or by a duly authorized attorney-in-fact. The Republic shall ensure that the Trustee shall be provided with an adequate supply of executed Certificated Securities for authentication and delivery pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.6(b).

(c) Subject to the requirements of paragraph 8(b) of the Terms, at the option of the Holder, Certificated Securities may at any time be presented for exchange into an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Securities in different authorized denominations, but only at the Corporate Trust Office together with a written request for the exchange. Subject to this Section 2.6(c) and paragraph 8(b) of the Terms, in exchange for Certificated Securities of any Series properly presented for exchange, the Trustee shall, within three Business Days following such request made at such Corporate Trust Office, authenticate and deliver Certificated Securities of such Series for a like aggregate principal amount and of such authorized denomination or denominations as may be requested. The Republic shall ensure that the Trustee shall be provided with an adequate supply of executed Certificated Securities for authentication and delivery pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.6(c).

(d) The costs and expenses of effecting any transfer, registration or exchange pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be borne by the Republic except for the expenses of delivery (if any) not made by regular mail and the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp duty, tax or governmental charge or insurance charge that may be imposed in relation thereto, which shall be borne by the Holders. Registration of the transfer of a Debt Security by the Trustee shall be deemed to be the acknowledgment of such transfer on behalf of the Republic.

(e) None of the Trustee, any trustee paying agent, any transfer agent or any registrar shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Debt Security (including any transfers between or among Participants or owners of beneficial interests in any Debt Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine material compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

Section 2.7. Mutilated, Defaced, Purportedly Destroyed, Stolen or Lost Debt Securities; Cancellation and Destruction of Debt Securities. (a) The Republic shall execute and deliver to the Trustee Debt Securities in such amounts and at such times as to enable the Trustee to fulfill its responsibilities under this Indenture and the Debt Securities.

(b) The Trustee is hereby authorized, in accordance with and subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph 8(a) of the Terms, to authenticate and deliver from time to time Debt Securities of any Series in exchange for or in lieu of Debt Securities of such Series which become mutilated, defaced, purportedly destroyed, stolen or lost. The Trustee and the Republic shall be entitled to receive security and indemnity satisfactory to them from the applicable Holder in connection with any such authentication. Each Debt Security delivered in exchange for or in lieu of any Debt Security shall carry all the rights to interest (including rights to accrued and unpaid interest) which were carried by such Debt Security.

(c) All Debt Securities surrendered for payment or exchange shall be delivered to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office or at any other office acceptable to the Trustee. The Trustee shall cancel and dispose of all such Debt Securities surrendered for payment or exchange, as it may determine, and shall upon written request deliver a certificate of disposition to the Republic.

(d) Upon the issuance of any substitute Debt Security, the Holder of such Debt Security, if so requested by the Republic, shall pay a sum sufficient to cover any stamp duty, tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expense (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected with the preparation and issuance of the substitute Debt Security.

(e) All Debt Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Debt Securities shall be valid obligations of the Republic, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Debt Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

Section 2.8. Restrictions on Transfer of the Rule 144A Securities and Regulation S Securities. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof to the contrary: (a) If the Debt Securities of any Series are issued in the form of a Regulation S Global Security or a Rule 144A Global Security, and if the owner of a beneficial interest in any Rule 144A Global Security wishes at any time to exchange its beneficial interest therein (or any portion thereof) for a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Security of the same Series, or to transfer such beneficial interest (or any portion thereof) to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Security of the same Series, then such exchange or transfer may be effected, subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary, and/or Euroclear and Clearstream (the “Applicable Procedures”) and minimum denomination requirements, only in accordance with this Section 2.8(a). Upon receipt by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of: (i) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from a Participant directing the Trustee to credit or cause to be credited to a specified Participant’s account a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security in a principal balance equal to that of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security of the same Series to be so exchanged or transferred, (ii) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the Participant (and the Euroclear or Clearstream account, as the case may be) to be credited with, and the account of the Participant to be debited for, such beneficial interest and (iii) a certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit G given by the owner of such beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security, the Trustee shall instruct the Depositary to reduce the balance of such Rule 144A Global Security and to increase the balance of the Regulation S Global Security of the same Series by the amount of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security to be so exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such an instruction (which may be the Participant for Euroclear or Clearstream or both, as the case may be) for the benefit of such Person specified in such instructions, a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security having a principal balance equal to the amount by which the balance of the Rule 144A Global Security of the same Series was reduced upon such exchange or transfer.

(b) If the Debt Securities of any Series are issued in the form of a Regulation S Global Security or a Rule 144A Global Security, and if the owner of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Security wishes at any time to exchange its beneficial interest therein (or any portion thereof) for a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Security of the same Series, or to transfer such beneficial interest (or any portion thereof) to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Security of the same Series, then such exchange or transfer may be effected, subject to the Applicable Procedures and minimum denomination requirement, only in accordance with this Section 2.8(b). Upon receipt by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office of: (i) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from a Participant directing the Trustee to credit or cause to be credited to a specified Participant’s account a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security in a principal balance equal to that of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Security of the same Series to be so exchanged or transferred, (ii) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the Participant (and, if applicable, the Euroclear or Clearstream account, as the case may be) to be debited with, and the account of the Participant to be credited for, such beneficial interest and (iii) if during the Distribution Compliance Period (as defined in Regulation S), a certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit H given by the owner of such beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security, the Trustee shall instruct the Depositary to reduce the balance of the Regulation S Global Security and to increase the balance of the Rule 144A Global Security of the same Series, by the principal balance of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security to be so exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security having a principal balance equal to the amount by which the balance of the Regulation S Global Security of the same Series was reduced upon such exchange or transfer.

(c) If a Global Security or any portion thereof (or beneficial interest therein) is exchanged for Certificated Securities pursuant to Section 2.5, then such Certificated Securities may in turn be exchanged (upon transfer or otherwise) for other Certificated Securities only in accordance with procedures substantially consistent with the provisions of Sections 2.8(a) and (b) (including any certification requirement set forth herein intended to ensure that transfers and exchanges of Certificated Securities comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S, as the case may be) and any applicable laws, as may be adopted from time to time by the Republic.

Section 2.9. Rule 144A Restrictive Legend. (a) Rule 144A Global Securities shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereof. Certificated Securities issued pursuant to Rule 144A shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B hereof.

(b) The restrictive legend set forth on Exhibit A or Exhibit B may be removed from a Rule 144A Security if there is delivered to the Republic and the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, as may reasonably be required by the Republic, that neither such legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers of such Rule 144A Security (or beneficial interests therein) will not violate the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Upon provision of such Opinion of Counsel to the Republic and the Trustee, the Trustee, upon receipt of an authorization, shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such Rule 144A Security, a Regulation S Security or a Rule 144A Security (or Debt Security) executed by the Republic having an equal aggregate principal balance that does not bear such legend.

(c) If such a restrictive legend required for Rule 144A Securities has been removed as provided in clause (b) of this Section 2.9, then no other Debt Security issued in exchange for all or any part of such Rule 144A Securities, shall bear such legend unless the Republic has reasonable cause to believe that such other Rule 144A Securities are a “restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and instructs the Trustee to cause a restrictive legend to be affixed thereon.

Section 2.10. CUSIP, ISIN or Other Identifying Numbers. The Republic in issuing the Debt Securities of any Series may use CUSIP, ISIN or other identifying numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP, ISIN or other identifying numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Debt Securities of such Series or as contained in any notice of a redemption and such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Republic will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any initial CUSIP, ISIN or other identifying numbers and any change in the CUSIP, ISIN or other identifying numbers.

Article Three

COVENANTS

Section 3.1. Payment of Principal and Interest. The Republic covenants and agrees that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Amounts) on, each of the Debt Securities and any other payments to be made by the Republic under the Debt Securities and this Indenture, at the place or places, at the respective times and in the manner provided in the Debt Securities and this Indenture, subject to Section 9.6.

Section 3.2. Offices for Payments. So long as any of the Debt Securities remain Outstanding, the Republic will maintain the following in New York City (or, with respect to any Series of Debt Securities, at such other place set forth in an Authorization): (a) an office or agency where the Debt Securities may be presented for payment, (b) an office or agency where the Debt Securities may be presented for exchange, transfer and registration of transfer as in this Indenture provided and (c) an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Republic in respect of the Debt Securities or of this Indenture may be served. The Republic hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office as the office or agency for each such purpose and as the place where the Register will be maintained. In case the Republic shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to give such notice of the location or of any change in the location thereof, presentations and demands may be made and notices may be served at the Corporate Trust Office. If any Series of Debt Securities are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so requires, the Trustee will maintain a trustee paying agent in Luxembourg for such Series.

Section 3.3. Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in Office of Trustee. The Republic, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 5.9, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder for each Series of Debt Securities.

Section 3.4. Payments. (a) In order to provide for the payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Amounts, unless otherwise provided for in the Debt Securities) on, the Debt Securities as the same shall become due and payable, the Republic hereby agrees to pay or to cause to be paid to the account of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office or such other office of the Trustee as may be agreed between the Trustee and the Republic (or, in the case of payments denominated in a currency other than Dollars, at such other place as set forth in an Authorization), not later than 1:00 p.m. at least one Business Day prior to each Stated Maturity Date (each, a “Payment Date”) with respect to such Debt Securities, in such coin or currency of the United States (or in such other currency as shall be specified in the Terms of the Debt Securities of the Series with respect to which payment is to be made) as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, in immediately available funds, an amount which (together with any funds then held by the Trustee and available for the purpose) shall be sufficient to pay the aggregate amount of interest (including Additional Amounts) or principal or both, as the case may be, and any premium, if any, becoming due in respect of such Debt Securities on such Payment Date. The Republic agrees that Section 765 of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code is not applicable to the payment of amounts due on Debt Securities. The Trustee shall apply such amount to the payment due on such Payment Date and, pending such application, such amounts shall be held in trust by the Trustee for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto in accordance with their respective interests and the Republic shall have no proprietary or other interest whatsoever in such amounts.

(b) The Trustee may also appoint, at the expense of the Xxxxxxxx, xxx or more paying agents (each a “trustee paying agent”) for the purpose of facilitating the Republic’s payment of amounts due in respect of the Debt Securities of any Series for the exclusive benefit of the Holders of such Debt Securities. The Republic may provide directly to any such trustee paying agent or agents the funds for the payment of the principal of and premium and interest, if any, payable on the Debt Securities under an agreement with respect to such funds containing substantially the same terms and conditions set forth in this Section; and the Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to any funds so provided by the Republic to any such trustee paying agent or for any act or omission of any trustee paying agent. Subject to the foregoing, the Republic shall have the right at any time to instruct the Trustee to terminate the appointment of any trustee paying agent and to appoint any other paying agents in any place as it may deem appropriate for the purpose of making payments for the exclusive benefit of Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any trustee paying agents appointed pursuant to this Indenture shall be agents solely of the Trustee, and the Republic shall have no authority over or any direct relationship with any such trustee paying agent or agents.

(c) At least five Business Days prior to the first date for payment of interest on each Series of Debt Securities and, if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned certificate, at least five Business Days prior to each date thereafter for the payment of principal of or interest on such Debt Securities, the Republic shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate specifically instructing the Trustee as to any circumstances in which payments of principal of or interest on such Debt Securities due on such date shall be subject to deduction or withholding for or on account of any taxes described in paragraph 3(a) of the Terms and the rate of any such deduction or withholding. If any such deduction or withholding shall be required and if the Republic therefore becomes liable to pay Additional Amounts pursuant to paragraph 3(a) of the Terms, then at least five Business Days prior to the date of any such payment of principal or interest, the Republic will furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate which specifies the amount required to be withheld on such payment to Holders of such Debt Securities and the Additional Amounts, if any, due to Holders of such Debt Securities, and simultaneously will pay to the Trustee such Additional Amounts as shall be required to be paid to such Holders.

(d) Whenever the Trustee shall appoint a trustee paying agent for the purpose of paying amounts due in respect of the Debt Securities of any Series, it will cause such trustee paying agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such trustee paying agent shall agree with the Trustee and the Republic subject to the provisions of this Section 3.4,

i. that it will hold all sums received by it as such agent for the payment of the Debt Securities of that Series in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities of that Series or of the Trustee,

ii. that it will give the Trustee prompt notice of any failure by the Republic to make any payment of the principal of or interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on the Debt Securities of that Series and any other payments to be made by or on behalf of the Republic under this Indenture, when the same shall be due and payable, and

iii. that it will pay any such sums so held in trust by it to the Trustee upon the Trustee’s written request at any time during the continuance of a failure referred to in clause (ii) above.

(e) Anything in this Section 3.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Republic may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust by any trustee paying agent hereunder, as required by this Section 3.4, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained.

(f) Anything in this Section 3.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreements to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section 3.4 are subject to the provisions of Section 8.3 and Section 8.4.

(g) The Trustee, whenever acting as paying agent with respect to any Series of Debt Securities, shall comply with applicable backup withholding tax and information reporting requirements under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended from time to time, the “Code”), and the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to payments made under the Debt Securities (including, to the extent required, the collection of Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8 and W-9 and the filing of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms 1099 and 1096).

Section 3.5. Notice of Event of Default. The Republic acting through any of its Authorized Officers will give the Trustee notice by facsimile or electronic transmission or other written communication satisfactory to the Trustee of any Event of Default relating to the Republic or of any condition or event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would, unless remedied, cured or waived, constitute an Event of Default relating to the Republic, within 15 days after the occurrence of such Event of Default or such other event or condition becomes known to the Republic, and of the measures it is taking to remedy such Event of Default or such other event or condition.

Section 3.6. Calculation of Original Issue Discount. In the event that the Republic issues Debt Securities with an original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Republic shall file with the Trustee promptly, but no later than 60 days following the date of issuance (i) a written notice specifying the amount of original issue discount (including daily rates and accrual periods) accrued on Debt Securities Outstanding as of the end of such year and (ii) such other specific information relating to such original issue discount as may be requested by the Trustee to satisfy the relevant reporting requirements under the Code. This provision shall not apply with respect to any Debt Securities for which the Republic has filed an IRS Form 8281 with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days of the issue date of such Debt Securities. In such case, the Republic shall provide a copy of IRS Form 8281 to the Trustee.

Article Four

REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND HOLDERS ON EVENT OF DEFAULT

Section 4.1. Events of Default; Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment (a) An Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities of any Series shall consist of the events specified in the Terms of Debt Securities for such Series as “Events of Default”.

(b) If an Event of Default under any Series of Debt Securities shall have occurred and be continuing then in each and every such case, upon notice in writing by the Holders (the “Demanding Holders”) (acting individually or together) of not less than 25% of the aggregate Outstanding principal amount of the Debt Securities of such Series to the Republic, with a copy to the Trustee, of any such Event of Default and its continuance, the Demanding Holders may declare the principal amount of all the Debt Securities of such Series due and payable immediately, and the same shall become and shall be due and payable upon the date that such written notice is received by or on behalf of the Republic, unless prior to receiving such notice all Events of Default in respect of all the Debt Securities of such Series shall have been cured or waived; provided that if, at any time after the principal of the Debt Securities of such Series shall have been so declared due and payable, and before the sale of any property pursuant to any judgment or decree for the payment of monies due which shall have been obtained or entered in connection with the Debt Securities of such Series, the Republic shall pay or shall deposit (or cause to be paid or deposited) with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal upon all the Debt Securities of such Series which shall have become due otherwise than solely by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of interest, to the extent permitted by law, and on such principal of each Debt Security of such Series at the rate or rates of interest specified in such Debt Securities, if any, to the date of such payment of interest or principal) and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of its counsel, and if any and all Events of Default under the Debt Securities of such Series, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Debt Securities of such Series which shall have become due solely by acceleration, shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein, then, and in every such case, the Holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of such Series then Outstanding, by written notice to the Republic and to the Trustee, may, on behalf of all of the Holders of Debt Securities of such Series, waive all defaults and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 4.2. Collection of Indebtedness by Trustee; Trustee May Prove Debt. (a) The Republic covenants that if (i) in case there shall be a default in the payment of any interest (including Additional Amounts) on any Series of Debt Securities when such interest (including Additional Amounts) shall have become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period, if any, specified under the caption “Events of Default” in the Terms of the Debt Securities, or (ii) in case there shall be a default in the payment of all or any part of the principal of any Series of Debt Securities when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity or by acceleration or otherwise, and such default shall have continued for a period, if any, specified under the capition “Events of Default” in the Terms of the Debt Securities, then upon demand of the Holders of not less than 25% of the aggregate Outstanding principal amount of such Series of Debt Securities (with a copy to the Trustee), the Republic will pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of such Debt Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Debt Securities for principal, and premium, if any, and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Debt Securities, if any, and, in addition thereto, the Republic shall pay or cause to be paid such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the documented costs and expenses of collection reasonably incurred, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor trustee, their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and any documented expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred, and all documented advances reasonably made, by the Trustee and each predecessor trustee except as a result of their negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) Until such demand is made by the Holders of not less than 25% of the aggregate Outstanding principal amount of such Series of Debt Securities, the Republic may pay the principal of, and interest on (including Additional Amounts), the Debt Securities to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders, whether or not any payment under the Debt Securities shall be overdue.

(c) In case the Republic shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Republic and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Republic, wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

(d) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture or the Debt Securities of any Series may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any Debt Securities or the production thereof at any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Trustee, each predecessor trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities of that Series in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

(e) In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) with respect to one or several Series of Debt Securities, the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of such Series of Debt Securities, and it shall not be necessary to make any such Holders parties to any such proceedings.

Section 4.3. Application of Proceeds. Any monies collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article Four or, after an Event of Default, any money distributable or allocable in respect of the Republic’s obligations under this Indenture shall be applied in the following order at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such monies on account of principal or interest (including Additional Amounts), upon presentation of the Debt Securities of the Series in respect of which money has been collected, or is distributable or allocable, and stamping (or otherwise noting) thereon the payment, or issuing Debt Securities in reduced principal amounts in exchange for the presented Debt Securities if only partially paid, or upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

SECOND: In case the principal of the Debt Securities of such Series shall not have become and be then due and payable, to the payment of overdue interest (including Additional Amounts) in default on such Series of Debt Securities in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest (including Additional Amounts), with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee, or is distributable or allocable) upon the overdue installments of interest (including Additional Amounts), at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Debt Securities, if any, such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference;

THIRD: In case the principal of the Debt Securities of such Series shall have become and shall be then due and payable, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon all Debt Securities of such Series for principal and interest (including Additional Amounts), with interest upon the overdue principal, and (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee, or is distributable or allocable) upon overdue installments of interest (including Additional Amounts), at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Debt Securities, if any; and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the Debt Securities of such Series, then to the payment of such principal and interest (including Additional Amounts), without preference or priority of principal over interest, or of interest over principal, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Debt Security of such Series over any other Debt Securities of the same Series, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and accrued and unpaid interest; and

FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Republic or any other Person lawfully entitled thereto, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate.

Section 4.4. Suits for Enforcement. If an Event of Default has occurred, has not been waived and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion (but is not required to) proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

Section 4.5. Restoration of Rights on Abandonment of Proceedings. In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then, and in every such case, the Republic and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Republic, the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

Section 4.6. Limitations on Suits by Holders.

For the protection and enforcement of this Section 4.6, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Section 4.7. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding Section 4.6, each Holder of Debt Securities shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on (including Additional Amounts) its Debt Security on the Stated Maturity Date for such payment expressed in such Debt Security (as such Debt Security may be amended or modified pursuant to Article Eleven) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity Date, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Section 4.8. Powers and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver of Default. (a) Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Terms, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Debt Securities is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

(b) No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of Debt Securities to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to Section 4.6, every power and remedy given by this Indenture or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of Debt Securities may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by such Holders.

Section 4.9. Control by Holders. (a) Subject to Section 4.9(c), the Holders of a Majority in aggregate principal amount Outstanding of the Debt Securities of any Series shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee by this Indenture with respect to the Debt Securities of such Series.

Nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee at its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction by the Holders of the Debt Securities with respect to which such action is to be taken.

Section 4.10. Payments After a Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the subsequent declaration by the Holders of not less than 25% of the aggregate Outstanding principal amount of a Series of Debt Securities that the principal amount of all the Debt Securities of such Series is due and payable immediately (pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Terms), the Trustee may by notice in writing: (a) to the Republic and any trustee paying agent, require each trustee paying agent (if any) to deliver all Debt Securities of such Series and all monies, documents and records held by them with respect to the Debt Securities of such Series to the Trustee or as the Trustee otherwise directs in such notice; and (b) require any trustee paying agent acting as agent of the Trustee under this Indenture and the Debt Securities of such Series, to hold all Debt Securities of such Series and all monies, documents and records held by it in respect of Debt Securities of such Series to the order of the Trustee.

(b) No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on the Trustee to perform any act or acts, receive or obtain any interest in property or exercise any interest in property, or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal or contrary to applicable law or regulation, or in which, as a result thereof, the Trustee shall become subject to service of process, taxation or other consequences that, in the sole determination of the Trustee, are adverse to the Trustee, or in which the Trustee shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to perform any such act or acts, to receive or obtain any such interest in property or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation.

Section 5.4. Trustee May Hold Debt Securities; Collections. The Trustee or any other agent of the Republic, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debt Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such other agent. The Trustee is entitled to enter into business transactions with the Republic or any of its affiliates without accounting for any profit resulting from such transactions.

Section 5.5. Monies Held by Trustee. All monies received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the Holders of the Debt Securities as provided by Section 8.2, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by mandatory provisions of law. The Trustee shall not be under any liability to any Person for interest on or the investment of any monies received by it hereunder.

Section 5.6. Compensation and Indemnification of Trustee and Its Prior Claim. (a) The Republic covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, compensation as agreed in writing between the Republic and the Trustee (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) and the Republic covenants and agrees to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor trustee upon its request for all documented expenses, disbursements, losses and advances properly and reasonably incurred or made by or on behalf of it in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including, without limitation, the compensation, documented expenses and disbursements properly and reasonably incurred by its counsel and by all agents and other Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that in connection with the Republic’s obligation to make a payment of any amounts due to the Trustee under this Section 5.6, the provisions of Paragraph 17 of the Terms shall be applicable, mutatis mutandis, for the benefit of the Trustee hereunder.

(b) The Republic also covenants to indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, damages or expense incurred without fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, directly or indirectly, arising out of, or in connection with, the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the trusts hereunder and its duties and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the documented costs and expenses (including counsel fees) properly and reasonably incurred of defending itself against or investigating any claim of liability with respect to the foregoing.

(c) As security for the performance of the obligations of the Republic under this Section 5.6 the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Debt Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on particular Debt Securities.

(d) In addition to, but without prejudice to its other rights under this Indenture, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default, the expenses (including the charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.

(e) “Trustee” for purposes of this Section 5.6 shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided, however, that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder.

(f) The obligations of the Republic under this Section 5.6 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor trustee for documented expenses, disbursements, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, claims and advances reasonably incurred or made shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the termination for any reason of this Indenture, resignation or removal of the Trustee, the payment of any Debt Securities hereunder and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. Such additional indebtedness shall be a senior lien to that of the Debt Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Debt Securities, and the Debt Securities are hereby subordinated to such senior lien.

Section 5.7. Right of Trustee to Rely on Officer’s Certificate. Subject to Sections 5.1 and 5.2, whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established, or that instructions be received in respect of, prior to taking or suffering or omitting any action hereunder (including, without limitation, under Article Ten and/or Article Eleven), such matter or instructions (unless other evidence in respect thereof shall be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and shall, in the absence of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 5.8. Persons Eligible for Appointment as Trustee. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a Person that has a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$50,000,000, has a trustee or representative office in The City of Buenos Aires, maintains such accounts in Argentina as may be necessary to carry out the obligations of the Trustee set forth in this Indenture and is doing business under the laws of the United States or of any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, and is subject to supervision or examination by federal, state, territorial or District of Columbia authority. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of a federal, state or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then, for the purposes of this Section 5.8, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any Series shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.8, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Indenture.

Section 5.9. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor Trustee. (a) The Trustee may at any time resign with respect to the Debt Securities of any one or more Series by giving not less than 90 days’ written notice of resignation to the Republic and by providing notice thereof to the affected Holders at the expense of the Republic as provided in paragraph 12 of the Terms of the affected Series. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Republic shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to such Series by written instrument in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 60 days after such notice of resignation has been given, the resigning Trustee may, at the expense of the Republic, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Holder of Debt Securities of the affected Series who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security of such Series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper, appoint a successor trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of the affected Series.

(b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

i. the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.8 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by or on behalf of the Republic or by any Holder; or

ii. the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver or liquidator of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;

then, in any such case, the Republic may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee with respect to all affected Debt Securities by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security of any affected Series for at least six months may on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such Series. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 60 days after such notice of removal has been given, the Trustee being removed may, at the expense of the Republic, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Holder of Debt Securities of the affected Series who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security of such Series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee.

(c) The Holders of a Majority in aggregate principal amount Outstanding of the Debt Securities of any Series may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee for the Debt Securities of such Series by delivering to the Trustee so removed, to the successor trustee so appointed and to the Republic the evidence provided for in Section 6.1 of the action in that regard taken by the Holders.

(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and any appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 5.9 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 5.10.

Section 5.10. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee. (a) In the case of an appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to all Debt Securities, each successor trustee so appointed shall execute and deliver to the Republic and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Republic or of the successor trustee, upon payment of its charges and any other amounts due to it under this Indenture then unpaid, the Trustee ceasing to act shall pay over to the successor trustee all monies at the time held by it hereunder and shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Republic shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any Trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a prior lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such Trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.6.

(b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more (but not all) Series, the Republic, the predecessor trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of the affected Series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of that or those Series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates, (ii) shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of that or those Series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee and (iii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in any such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustee’s co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of any such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of that or those Series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates; but, on request of the Republic or any successor trustee, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Debt Securities of that or those Series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates. Any Trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a prior lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such Trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.6.

(c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 5.10, the Republic shall provide notice thereof to the affected Holders as provided in paragraph 12 of the Terms. If the acceptance of appointment is substantially contemporaneous with the resignation, then the notice called for by the preceding sentence may be combined with the notice called for by Section 5.9. If the Republic fails to provide such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be provided at the expense of the Republic.

(d) No successor trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under this Section 5.10.

Section 5.11. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of Trustee. Any Person into which a Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which a Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of a Trustee, shall be the successor of such Trustee hereunder, provided that such Person shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 5.8, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In case a successor to the Trustee succeeds to the trusts created by this Indenture at a time when any of the affected Debt Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of the predecessor trustee and deliver such Debt Securities so authenticated; and, in case at that time any of the affected Debt Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Debt Securities in the name of any predecessor trustee hereunder or in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificate shall have the full force provided in the Debt Securities or in this Indenture for a certificate of the Trustee; provided that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of a predecessor trustee or to authenticate Debt Securities in the name of a predecessor trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

Section 5.12. Appointment of Co-Trustee. (a) It is the purpose of this Indenture that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Indenture, and in particular in case of the enforcement thereof on default, or in the case the Trustee deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the powers, rights or remedies herein granted to the Trustee or hold title to the properties, in trust, as herein granted or take any action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that, without the consent of Holders, the Trustee appoint a Person as a separate or co-trustee. The following provisions of this Section 5.12 are adopted to these ends.

(b) In the event that the Trustee appoints an additional Person as a separate or co-trustee, each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand, cause of action, immunity, estate, title, interest and lien expressed or intended by this Indenture to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Trustee with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vest in such separate or co-trustee but only to the extent necessary to enable such separate or co-trustee to exercise such powers, rights and remedies, and only to the extent that the Trustee by the laws of any jurisdiction is incapable of exercising such powers, rights and remedies (in which event such rights, powers and duties shall be exercised singly by such separate or co-trustee but solely at the direction of the Trustee) and every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such separate or co-trustee shall run to and be enforceable by either of them. No separate or co-trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 5.8 hereof and no notice to Holders of the appointment of any separate or co-trustee shall be required under Section 5.10 hereof.

(c) Should any instrument in writing from the Republic be required by the separate or co-trustee so appointed by the Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Republic; provided that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Republic does not execute any such instrument within fifteen (15) days after request therefor, the Trustee shall be empowered as an attorney-in-fact for the Republic to execute any such instrument in the Republic’s name and stead. In case any separate or co-trustee or a successor to either shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such separate or co-trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee until the appointment of a new trustee or successor to such separate or co-trustee.

(d) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

i. all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and may be exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;

ii. the Trustee shall not be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any separate or co-trustee hereunder. No separate or co-trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Trustee, any separate trustee or any co-trustee hereunder; and

iii. the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

(e) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Section 5.12.

(f) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successors trustee.

CONCERNING THE HOLDERS

Section 6.1. Evidence of Action Taken by Holders. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of any Series of Debt Securities may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments is or are received by the Trustee for such Series. Proof of execution of any instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 5.1 and Section 5.2) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Republic, if made in the manner provided in this Article Six.

Section 6.2. Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of Debt Securities. Subject to Section 5.1 and Section 5.2, the execution of any instrument by a Holder or his agent or proxy may be proved in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding of Debt Securities for purposes of this Indenture shall be proved by the Register maintained pursuant to Section 2.6 or by a certificate of the Trustee. The Republic may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders entitled to vote, or consent to any action referred to in Section 6.1, which record date may be set at any time or from time to time by written notice to the Trustee, for any date or dates (in the case of any adjournment or resolicitation) not more than 60 days nor less than ten days prior to the proposed date of such vote or consent, and thereafter, notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, only Holders of record on such record date shall be entitled to so vote or give such consent or to withdraw such vote or consent.

Section 6.3. Holders to Be Treated as Owners. (a) The Republic, the Trustee, any trustee paying agent and any agent of the Republic or the Trustee may deem and treat any Person in whose name any Debt Security shall be registered upon the Register as the absolute owner of such Debt Security (whether or not such Debt Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, interest (including Additional Amounts) on such Debt Security and for all other purposes; and none of the Republic, the Trustee, any trustee paying agent or any agent of the Republic, or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any such Person, or upon his order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable upon any such Debt Security. The Republic, the Trustee, any registrar and any trustee paying agent shall be entitled to treat the Depositary as the sole Holder of Global Securities for all purposes whatsoever. Participants shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by a Depositary or nominee of a Depositary or under such Global Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Republic, the Trustee or any agent of the Republic or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Participants, the operation of customary practices of the Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Security.

(b) None of the Republic, the Trustee, any trustee paying agent, any registrar or any agent of the Republic or the Trustee shall have any responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner in a Global Security, or Participant or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or common depositary or any Participant, with respect to any ownership interest in the Debt Securities or with respect to the delivery to any Participant, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary or its nominee or common depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Debt Securities. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Debt Securities and this Indenture shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee or common depositary in the case of the Global Security). The rights of beneficial owners in the Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary or its nominee or common depositary subject to the applicable procedures. The Republic, the Trustee, any trustee paying agent, any registrar and any agent of the Republic or the Trustee shall be entitled to rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary or its nominee or common depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. The Republic, the Trustee, any trustee paying agent, any registrar and any agent of the Republic or the Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary or its nominee or common depositary, that is the registered holder of any Global Security for all purposes of this Indenture relating to such Global Security (including the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest and additional amounts, if any, and the giving of instructions or directions by or to the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such Global Security) as the sole holder of such Global Security and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof. None of the Republic, the Trustee, any trustee paying agent, any registrar or any agent of the Republic or the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of the Depositary or its nominee or common depositary with respect to such Global Security, for the records of any such depositary, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such Global Security, for any transactions between the Depositary or its nominee or common depositary and any Participant or between or among the Depositary or its nominee or common depositary, any such Participant and/or any holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Security, or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global Security.

Section 6.4. Right of Revocation of Action Taken. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 6.1, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any Series or of the percentage of votes cast required in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Debt Security the serial number of which is shown to be included among the serial numbers of the Debt Securities of Holders that have consented to such action may, by filing written notice at the Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in this Article Six, revoke such action so far as concerns such Debt Security. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by a Holder shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Debt Security and of any Debt Securities issued in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon any such Debt Security.

Article Seven

Any monies deposited with or paid to the Trustee or to any trustee paying agent for the payment of the principal of or interest (including Additional Amounts) on any Debt Security and not applied but remaining unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such principal or interest shall have become due and payable shall be repaid to or for the account of the Republic by the Trustee or such trustee paying agent, upon the written request of the Republic and the Holder of such Debt Security shall thereafter look only to the Republic for any payment which such Holder may be entitled to collect, and all liability of the Trustee or such trustee paying agent with respect to such monies shall thereupon cease.

Section 9.7. Governing Law; Consent to Service; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Immunities.

(a) This Indenture and the Debt Securities (unless otherwise specified in the Authorization of the applicable Series) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York; provided, however, that all matters governing the Republic’s authorization and execution of this Indenture and the Debt Securities shall in all cases be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic. Notwithstanding the above or any Authorization or any Reserve Matter Modification, Articles Ten and Eleven (and the corresponding Terms of the Debt Securities) shall in all cases be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York.

(b) Subject to Section 9.7(i), the Republic irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and the courts of the Republic and, in each case, any appellate court thereof (each, a “Specified Court”) in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Indenture or the Debt Securities or the Republic’s failure or alleged failure to perform any obligations under this Indenture or the Debt Securities against it or its properties, assets or revenues (a “Related Proceeding”). Any proceeding against the Trustee arising out of or related to this Indenture or the Debt Securities shall be commenced solely in a New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York. The Republic and the Holders, by their acceptance of the Debt Securities, agree to the foregoing and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any such court.

(c) The Republic hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to Related Proceedings brought in a Specified Court, whether on the grounds of venue, residence or domicile or on the ground that the Related Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum (except for any Related Proceedings relating to the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof).

(d) Subject to Section 9.7(i), the Republic hereby appoints Banco de la Nación Argentina, at its office located at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, 00000, and, if such Person is not maintained by the Republic as its agent for such purpose, the Republic will appoint another Person, to act as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon whom process may be served in any Related Proceeding with respect to Debt Securities of a Series governed by New York law, any action or proceeding to enforce or execute any Related Judgment with respect to Debt Securities of a Series governed by New York law, in either case brought against it in any New York state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. Such appointment shall be irrevocable until all amounts in respect of the principal of and any interest due and to become due on or in respect of all the Securities governed by New York law have been provided to the Trustee pursuant to the terms hereof, except that, if for any reason, such Authorized Agent ceases to be able to act as Authorized Agent or to have an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, the Republic will appoint another Person in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, selected in its discretion, as such Authorized Agent. Prior to the date of issuance of any Debt Securities of any Series governed by New York law, the Republic shall obtain the consent of Banco de la Nación Argentina to its appointment as such Authorized Agent, a copy of which acceptance shall be provided to the Trustee. The Republic shall take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary to continue such appointment or appointments in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent at the address indicated above, as such address may be changed within the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, by notice given by the Authorized Agent to each party hereto, shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Republic.

(e) Nothing in Sections 9.7(b) or (d) shall affect the right of the Trustee or (in connection with legal actions or proceedings by any Holder as permitted by this Indenture or Debt Securities of any Series) any Holder to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of the Trustee or any such Holder to bring any action or proceeding against the Republic or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions.

(f) The submission to and acceptance of jurisdiction set out in Sections 9.7(b) and (e) above are intended to be effective upon execution of this Indenture without further act by the Republic before any such court and introduction of a true copy of this Indenture into evidence shall be conclusive and final evidence of such waiver.

(g) Subject to Section 9.7(i), to the extent that the Republic or any of its revenues, assets or properties shall be entitled, in any jurisdiction in which any Specified Court is located, in which any Related Proceeding may at any time be brought against it or any of its revenues, assets or properties, or in any jurisdiction in which any Specified Court is located in which any suit, action or proceeding may at any time be brought for the purpose of enforcing or executing any judgment issued in any Related Proceeding (the “Related Judgment”), to any immunity from suit, from the jurisdiction of any such court, from set-off, from attachment prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution of judgment, from execution of a judgment or from any other legal or judicial process or remedy, and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there shall be attributed such an immunity, the Republic irrevocably waives such immunity to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction, including the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (the “Immunities Act”) (and consents to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with any Related Proceeding or Related Judgment as permitted by applicable law, including the Immunities Act); provided, however, that such waiver shall not extend to and the Republic shall be immune in respect of and in relation to any suit, action or proceeding or enforcement of any Related Judgment against (i) any reserves of the Central Bank (Banco Central de la República Argentina), (ii) any property in the public domain located in the territory of the Republic, including property that falls within the purview of Sections 234 and 235 of the Civil and Commercial Code of the Republic, (iii) any property located in or outside the territory of the Republic that provides an essential public service, (iv) any property (whether in the form of cash, bank deposits, securities, third party obligations or any other methods of payment) of the Republic, its governmental agencies and other governmental entities relating to the performance of the budget, within the purview of Sections 165 through 170 of Law No. 11,672, Ley Complementaria Permanente de Presupuesto (t.o. 2014), (v) any property entitled to the privileges and immunities of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961 and the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations of 1963, including, but not limited to, property, premises and bank accounts used by the missions of the Republic, (vi) any property used by a diplomatic, governmental or consular mission of the Republic, (vii) taxes, duties, levies, assessments, royalties or any other governmental charges imposed by the Republic, including the right of the Republic to collect any such charges, (viii) any property of a military character or under the control of a military authority or defense agency of the Republic, (ix) property forming part of the cultural heritage of the Republic, or (x) property entitled to immunity under any applicable sovereign immunity laws.

(h) This waiver of sovereign immunity constitutes only a limited and specific waiver for the purpose of this Indenture and the Debt Securities and under no circumstances shall it be interpreted as a general waiver by the Republic or a waiver with respect to proceedings unrelated to this Indenture or the Debt Securities.

(i) The Republic reserves the right to plead sovereign immunity under the Immunities Act with respect to actions brought against it under the U.S. federal securities laws or any state securities laws and the appointment of an Authorized Agent does not extend to such actions.

Section 9.8. Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original regardless of whether delivered in physical or electronic form; but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. The exchange of copies of this Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or by portable document format (PDF) transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Indenture and signature pages for all purposes.

Section 9.9. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE REPUBLIC, THE TRUSTEE AND THE HOLDERS BY ACCEPTANCE OF THE DEBT SECURITIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE OR THE DEBT SECURITIES OF ANY SERIES.

Section 9.10. Effect of Headings. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

Nothing herein contained shall constitute a partnership between or joint venture by the parties hereto or constitute either party the agent of the other. Neither party shall hold itself out contrary to the terms of this Section 9.11 and neither party shall become liable by any representation, act or omission of the other contrary to the provisions hereof. This Indenture is not for the benefit of any third party (except the Holders) and shall not be deemed to give any right or remedy to any such party whether referred to herein or not.

Section 9.12. Severability. Any term or provision of this Indenture that is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the invalid, void or unenforceable term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid, void or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration or applicability of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid, void or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid, void or unenforceable term or provision.

MODIFICATIONS

Section 11.1. Modifications Not Requiring the Consent of Holders. The Republic and the Trustee may, without the vote or consent of any Holder of Debt Securities of any Series, agree to a Modification of Debt Securities of such Series or to this Indenture as it relates to that Series for the purpose of:

i. adding to the Republic’s covenants for the benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities of that Series;

ii. surrendering any right or power conferred upon the Republic with respect to Debt Securities of that Series;

iii. securing the Debt Securities of that Series;

iv. curing any ambiguity or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision in the Debt Securities of that Series or this Indenture;

v. amending the Debt Securities of that Series or this Indenture in any manner which the Republic and the Trustee may determine, including amending the denomination of the Debt Securities and which does not materially adversely affect the interests of any Holders of Debt Securities of that Series;

vi. correcting a manifest error of a formal, minor or technical nature; or

vii. complying with the terms of any exchange and registration rights agreements to be entered among the Republic and the other parties thereto with respect to the Debt Securities of that Series.

Any Modification pursuant to items (i) through (vii) above shall be binding on all Holders of Debt Securities of that Series intended to be affected by the Modification and, unless the Trustee otherwise requires, any such Modification shall be notified by the Republic to such Holders of Debt Securities as soon as practicable thereafter.

Section 11.2. Single Series Non-Reserve Matter Modifications. Single Series Non-Reserve Matter Modifications proposed by the Republic that are not Modifications covered by Section 11.1 may be approved by Holders of Debt Securities (by vote at a meeting of Holders of Debt Securities or by a written action), and future compliance therewith may be waived, with the written consent of the Republic and the affirmative vote (if approved at a meeting of Holders of the Debt Securities) or consent (if approved by a written action) of Holders of more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that Series.

Section 11.3. Reserve Matter Modification Methods. Reserve Matter Modifications proposed by the Republic may be approved by Holders of the Debt Securities (by vote at a Holder of the Debt Securities’ meeting or by a written action) in one of three ways (each, a “Modification Method”):

i. for a Single Series Reserve Matter Modification, by the Holders of the Debt Securities of the Series subject to the proposed Modification,

ii. for a proposed Cross-Series Modification with Single Aggregated Voting, by the Holders of two or more Series of Debt Securities whose votes or written consents will be aggregated for the purpose of determining whether the approval threshold has been met, and

iii. for a proposed Cross-Series Modification with Two-Tier Voting, by the Holders of two or more Series of Debt Securities whose votes or written consents (x) taken together, must meet an aggregated approval threshold and (y) taken separately for each Series of Debt Securities covered by that proposed Cross-Series Modification, must meet a separate approval threshold.

The Republic shall have the discretion to select a Modification Method for a proposed Reserve Matter Modification and to designate which Series of Debt Securities will be included in the aggregated voting for a proposed Cross-Series Modification; provided, however, that once the Republic selects a Modification Method and designates the Series of Debt Securities that will be subject to a proposed Cross-Series Modification, those elections will be final for purposes of that vote or consent solicitation.

The Republic may simultaneously propose two or more Cross-Series Modifications, each affecting different Series of Debt Securities, or one or more Cross-Series Modifications together with one or more Single Series Reserve Matter Modifications.

Section 11.4. Single Series Reserve Matter Modifications. Any Single Series Reserve Matter Modification may be made, and future compliance therewith may be waived, with the written consent of the Republic and the affirmative vote or consent of Holders of more than 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that Series.

Section 11.5. Cross-Series Modifications with Single Aggregated Voting. Any Cross-Series Modification with Single Aggregated Voting may be made, and future compliance therewith may be waived, with the written consent of the Republic and the affirmative vote or consent of Holders of more than 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of all the Series affected by that proposed Modification (taken in the aggregate).

Section 11.6. Cross-Series Modifications with Two-Tier Voting. i) Any Cross-Series Modification with Two-Tier Voting may be made, and future compliance therewith may be waived, with the written consent of the Republic and:

i. the affirmative vote or consent of Holders of more than 66^2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of all the Series affected by that proposed Modification (taken in the aggregate), and

ii. the affirmative vote or consent of Holders of more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of each Series affected by that proposed Modification (taken individually).

(b) It is understood that a Cross-Series Modification constituting or including a Reserve Matter Modification that is not Uniformly Applicable to the terms and conditions of the affected Debt Securities must be effected pursuant to this Section 11.6; a Cross-Series Modification that is Uniformly Applicable may be effected pursuant to Section 11.5 or this Section 11.6, at the Republic’s option.

(c) For so long as any series of 2005 and 2010 Debt Securities are outstanding, if the Republic certifies to the Trustee and to the trustee under the 2005 Indenture (for the benefit of the holders of the 2005 and 2010 Debt Securities) that a Cross Series Modification is being sought simultaneously with a 2005 Indenture Reserve Matter Modification (as defined below), the 2005 and 2010 Debt Securities affected by such 2005 Indenture Reserve Matter Modification shall be treated as “Series affected by that proposed Modification” as that phrase is used in Section 11.5 and Section 11.6(a)(i) and (ii); provided that if the Republic seeks a Cross-Series Modification with Single Aggregated Voting, in determining whether such Modification will be considered Uniformly Applicable, the holders of any series of 2005 and 2010 Debt Securities affected by the 2005 Indenture Reserve Matter Modification shall be deemed “Holders of Debt Securities of all Series affected by that Modification,” for the purpose of the Uniformly Applicable definition. It is the intention of this clause that in respect of any Cross-Series Modification, the votes of the holders of the affected 2005 and 2010 Debt Securities be counted for purposes of the voting thresholds specified in this Article Eleven for the applicable Cross Series Modification as though those 2005 and 2010 Debt Securities had been affected by that Cross Series Modification although it is acknowledged and agreed that the effectiveness of any Modification, as it relates to the 2005 and 2010 Debt Securities, shall be governed exclusively by the terms and conditions of those 2005 and 2010 Debt Securities and by the 2005 Indenture; provided, however, that no such Modification as to the Debt Securities will be effective unless such Modification shall have also been adopted by the holders of the 2005 and 2010 Debt Securities pursuant to the amendment and modification provisions of such 2005 and 2010 Debt Securities.

For the purpose of this Section 11.6(c):

“2005 Indenture Reserve Matter Modification” means any modification to the terms and conditions of one or more series of the 2005 and 2010 Debt Securities, pursuant to Section 7.2(b) and Section 7.3 of the 0000 Xxxxxxxxx;

“2005 and 2010 Debt Securities” means debt securities authenticated and delivered under the 0000 Xxxxxxxxx; and

“2005 Indenture” means the indenture dated as of June 2, 2005 between The Republic of Argentina, as issuer, and The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly, The Bank of New York), as trustee, as amended by the first supplemental indenture dated as of April 30, 2010.

Section 11.7. Modifications Calculation Agent; Claims Valuation. For the purpose either of administering a vote of Holders of the Debt Securities or seeking the consent of Holders of the Debt Securities to a written action under this Article Eleven, or for calculating the principal amount of the Debt Securities of any Series eligible to participate in such a vote or consent solicitation or that have given consent to a proposed Modification, the Republic may appoint a calculation agent (the “Modifications Calculation Agent”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee under this Indenture, shall not act as the Modifications Calculation Agent.

The Trustee shall notify the Holders of all Debt Securities eligible to participate in such a vote or consent solicitation of the methodology, as determined by the Modifications Calculation Agent by which the principal amount of each Series of Debt Securities eligible to participate in that vote or consent solicitation will be calculated. This notification shall be given in writing not less than five days prior to the meeting of the Holders of the Debt Securities at which such vote shall occur or, in the case of a consent solicitation for written action, at the time such solicitation is made. The Modifications Calculation Agent shall provide the Trustee with the methodology at least five Business Days (or such other time acceptable to the Trustee) before the Trustee is required to provide notification hereof.

The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any certifications delivered by the Modifications Calculation Agent pursuant to this Section 11.7.

The Trustee shall not be responsible for determining whether the Uniformly Applicable condition has been satisfied.

Section 11.8. Binding Effect. Any Modification consented to or approved by the Holders of Debt Securities pursuant to this Article Eleven will be conclusive and binding on all Holders of the relevant Series of Debt Securities or all Holders of all Series of Debt Securities affected by a Cross-Series Modification, as the case may be, whether or not they have given such consent or approval, and on all future Holders of those Debt Securities whether or not notation of such Modification is made upon the Debt Securities. Any instrument given by or on behalf of any Holder of a Debt Security in connection with any consent to or approval of any such Modification will be conclusive and binding on all subsequent Holders of that Debt Security.

Section 11.9. Information Delivery Requirement. Before soliciting the consent or the vote of any Holder of Debt Securities for a Reserve Matter Modification, the Republic shall provide to the Trustee (solely for purposes of onward distribution to the Holders of the Debt Securities that would be affected by that proposed Modification) the following information in electronic format:

i. a description of the Republic’s economic and financial circumstances which are, in the Republic’s opinion, relevant to the request for the proposed Modification, a description of the Republic’s existing debts and a description of any broad policy reform program and provisional macroeconomic outlook;

ii. if the Republic shall at the time have entered into an arrangement for financial assistance with multilateral and/or other major creditors or creditor groups and/or an agreement with any such creditors regarding debt relief, (x) a description of any such arrangement or agreement and (y) where permitted under the information disclosure policies of the multilateral or other creditors, as applicable, a copy of the arrangement or agreement;

iii. a description of the Republic’s proposed treatment of foreign debt instruments that are not affected by the proposed Modification and its intentions with respect to any other major creditor groups; and

iv. if the Republic is then seeking a Reserve Matter Modification affecting any other Series of Debt Securities, a description of that proposed Modification.

Section 11.10. Outstanding Debt Securities. Upon request of the Trustee, the Republic shall furnish to the Trustee promptly one or more Officer’s Certificates listing and identifying all Debt Securities, if any, known by the Republic to be owned or held by or for the account of the Republic or any Public Sector Instrumentality; or any corporation, trust or legal entity controlled by the Republic or a Public Sector Instrumentality and, subject to Section 5.1 and Section 5.2, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officer’s Certificate or Certificates as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Debt Securities not listed therein are Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.

Section 11.11. Certification of Disenfranchised Debt Securities. Prior to any vote on, or consent solicitation for, a Reserve Matter Modification, the Republic shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate signed by an Authorized Officer specifying any Debt Securities that are deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of Section 11.10.

The [Bonds], exchanges and transfers thereof, shall be registered as provided in Section 2.6 of the Indenture.

Principal of the [Bonds] will be payable against surrender of such [Bonds] at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in New York City or, subject to applicable laws and regulations, at the office outside of the United States of a paying agent that shall be appointed by the Trustee, at the expense of the Republic (each, a “trustee paying agent”), by [U.S. dollar] [Other Currency] check drawn on, or by transfer to a [U.S. dollar] [Other Currency] account maintained by the Holder with, a bank located in [New York City] [Other Location]. Payment of interest or principal [(including Additional Amounts (as defined below))]⁹ on [Bonds] will be made to the Persons in whose name such [Bonds] are registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date, whether or not such day is a Business Day (as defined below), notwithstanding the cancellation of such [Bonds] upon any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to the Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date; provided that if and to the extent the Republic shall default in the payment of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date, such defaulted interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such [Bonds] are registered as of a subsequent record date established by the Republic by notice, as provided in paragraph 12 of these Terms, by or on behalf of the Republic to the Holders of the [Bonds] not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent record date, such record date to be not less than 10 days preceding the date of payment of such defaulted interest. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, in the case where such interest, principal or premium, if any, (including Additional Amounts as defined below) is not punctually paid or duly provided for, the Trustee shall have the right to fix such subsequent record date, and, if fixed by the Trustee, such subsequent record date shall supersede any such subsequent record date fixed by the Republic. Payment of interest on Certificated Securities will be made (i) by a [U.S. dollar] [Other Currency] check drawn on a bank in [New York City] [Other Location] mailed to the Holder at such Holder’s registered address or (ii) upon application by the Holder of at least [U.S.$/other currency][_________] in principal amount of Certificated Securities to the Trustee not later than the relevant Record Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a [U.S. dollar][Other Currency] account maintained by the Holder with a bank in [New York City][Other Location].

C- 3

(b) In any case where the date of payment of the principal, interest or premium, if any, [(including Additional Amounts)]¹⁰ on, the [Bonds] shall not be a Business Day, then payment of principal, interest or premium, if any, [(including Additional Amounts)]¹¹ will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on the [Bonds] will accrue as a result of the delay in payment.

(c) Interest will be computed on the basis of [a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months][the actual number of days elapsed in a 365 (or 366) day year].

(d) Any monies deposited with or paid to the Trustee or to any trustee paying agent for the payment of the principal, interest or premium, if any, [(including Additional Amounts)]¹² on any [Bond] and not applied but remaining unclaimed for one year after the date upon which such principal, interest or premium, if any, shall have become due and payable shall be repaid to or for the account of the Republic by the Trustee or such trustee paying agent, upon the written request of the Republic and the Holder of such [Bond] shall thereafter look only to the Republic for any payment which such Holder may be entitled to collect, and all liability of the Trustee or such trustee paying agent with respect to such monies shall thereupon cease. The Republic shall cause all returned, unclaimed monies to be held in trust for the relevant Holder of the [Bond] until such time as the claims against the Republic for payment of such amounts shall have prescribed pursuant to paragraph 14 of these Terms and the Republic’s obligation to make payments on the [Bonds] as they become due will not be affected until the expiration of such prescription period.

(e) If the Republic at any time defaults in the payment of any principal of, or interest [(including Additional Amounts)]¹³ on the [Bonds], the Republic will pay interest on the amount in default (to the extent permitted by law), calculated for each day until paid, at the rate of [______]% per annum[, together with Additional Amounts, if applicable]¹⁴.

In such event, the Republic shall pay to the registered Holders of this [Bond] such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as will result in receipt by such Holders of such amounts of principal, premium and interest as would have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required; except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to any [Bond] (i) to a Holder or a beneficial owner of a [Bond] where such Holder or beneficial owner or Person is liable for such Taxes in respect of this [Bond] by reason of his having some connection with the Republic other than the mere holding of such [Bond] or the receipt of principal, premium or interest in respect thereof or the enforcement of rights with respect to the [Bond]; (ii) to a Holder or beneficial owner of a [Bond], that failed to comply with any certification, identification or other reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Republic of such Holder or beneficial owner or other Person, if compliance with the requirement is a precondition to exemption from all or any portion of such withholding or deduction, provided that (A) the Republic or the Republic’s agent has notified the Holders of such certification, identification or other reporting requirement at least 15 days before the applicable payment date and (B) in no event shall such Holder’s or beneficial owner’s or other Person’s obligation to satisfy such a requirement require such Holder or beneficial owner or other Person to provide any materially more onerous information, documents or other evidence than would be required to be provided had such Holder or beneficial owner or other Person been required to file Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-8EXP and/or W-8IMY; or (iii) presented for payment more than 30 days after the Relevant Date, as defined herein, except to the extent that the Holder thereof would have been entitled to Additional Amounts on presenting the same for payment on the last day of such period of 30 days.

Any reference herein to “principal” and/or “interest” shall be deemed to include any Additional Amounts which may be payable on this [Bond].]]¹⁵

The Republic will pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes or any excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise in the Republic or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority thereof or therein in respect of the creation, issue, execution, initial delivery or registration of the [Bond] or any other document or instrument referred to therein. The Republic will also indemnify the Holders from and against any stamp, court or documentary taxes or any excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies resulting from, or required to be paid by any of them which arise in the Republic or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority thereof or therein in connection with, the enforcement of the obligations of the Republic under the [Bond] or any other document or instrument referred to therein following the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined below).

4. Negative Pledge Covenant of Republic. (a) So long as any [Bond] remains Outstanding, save for the exceptions set forth below, the Republic will not create or permit to subsist any lien, pledge, mortgage, security interest, deed of trust, charge or other encumbrance or preferential arrangement which has the practical effect of constituting a security interest (“Lien”) upon the whole or any part of its assets or revenues to secure any Public External Indebtedness of the Republic unless, at the same time or prior thereto, the Republic’s obligations under the [Bonds] either (i) are secured equally and ratably therewith, or (ii) have the benefit of such other security, guarantee, indemnity or other arrangement as shall be approved by the Holders of the [Bonds] (as provided in Articles Ten and Eleven of the Indenture).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Republic may permit to subsist:

i. any Lien upon property to secure Public External Indebtedness of the Republic incurred to finance the acquisition of such property by the Republic; any renewal or extension of any such Lien so long as it is limited to the original property covered thereby and it secures any renewal or extension of the original secured financing;

ii. any Lien on property arising by operation of law (or pursuant to any agreement establishing a Lien equivalent to one which would otherwise exist under relevant local law) in connection with Public External Indebtedness, including without limitation any right of set-off with respect to demand or time deposits with financial institutions and bankers’ liens with respect to property held by financial institutions (in each case deposited with or delivered to such financial institutions in the ordinary course of the depositor’s activities);

iii. any Lien existing on such property at the time of its acquisition to secure Public External Indebtedness of the Republic and any renewal or extension of any such Lien which is limited to the original property covered thereby and which secures any renewal or extension of the original secured financing;

5. Events of Default. (a) Each of the following events will constitute an “Event of Default” under the [Bonds]:

i. Non-Payment: the Republic fails to pay any principal of or interest on any of the [Bonds] when due and payable and such failure continues for 30 days; or

ii. Breach of Other Obligations: the Republic does not perform or comply with any of its other obligations in the [Bonds] or in the Indenture and such failure cannot be remedied or is not remedied within 90 days after the Republic receives written notice of request to remedy such failure from the Trustee; or

iii. Cross Default: any event or condition shall occur which results in the acceleration of the maturity (other than by optional or mandatory prepayment or redemption) of any Performing Public External Indebtedness of the Republic having an aggregate principal amount of U.S.$50,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies) or more, or the Republic fails to pay Performing Public External Indebtedness having an aggregate principal amount of U.S.$50,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies) or more when and as the same shall become due and payable and that failure continues past the applicable grace period, if any; or

iv. Moratorium: a declaration by the Republic of a moratorium on the payment of principal of, or interest on, its Performing Public External Indebtedness and such moratorium does not expressly exclude the [Bonds]; or

v. Validity: the validity of the [Bonds] shall be contested by the Republic.

(b) If an Event of Default under the [Bonds] shall have occurred and be continuing then in each and every such case, upon notice in writing by the Holders (the “Demanding Holders”) (acting individually or together) of not less than 25% of the aggregate Outstanding principal amount of the [Bonds] to the Republic, with a copy to the Trustee, of any such Event of Default and its continuance, the Demanding Holders may declare the principal amount of all the [Bonds] due and payable immediately, and the same shall become and shall be due and payable upon the date that such written notice is received by or on behalf of the Republic, unless prior to receiving such notice all Events of Default in respect of all the [Bonds] shall have been cured or waived; provided that if, at any time after the principal of the [Bonds] shall have been so declared due and payable, and before the sale of any property pursuant to any judgment or decree for the payment of monies due which shall have been obtained or entered in connection with the [Bonds], the Republic shall pay or shall deposit (or cause to be paid or deposited) with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal upon all the [Bonds] which shall have become due otherwise than solely by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of interest, to the extent permitted by law, and on such principal of each [Bond] at the rate of interest specified herein, to the date of such payment of interest or principal) and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of its counsel, and if any and all Events of Default hereunder, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the [Bonds] which shall have become due solely by acceleration, shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein, then, and in every such case, the Holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the [Bonds] then Outstanding, by written notice to the Republic and to the Trustee, may, on behalf of all of the Holders, waive all defaults and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon. Actions by Holders pursuant to this paragraph 5 need not be taken at a meeting pursuant to paragraph 7 hereof. Actions by the Trustee and the Holders pursuant to this paragraph 5 are subject to Article Four of the Indenture.

C- 7

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default specified in clauses (ii) or (v) of paragraph 5(a), the principal amount of and the accrued interest on the [Bonds] may only be declared immediately due and payable if such event is materially prejudicial to the interests of the Holders of [Bonds]. Only Performing Public External Indebtedness is considered for purposes of paragraph 5(a)(iii) (Cross-Default).

(d) In the event of a declaration of acceleration because of an Event of Default described in clause (iii) of paragraph 5(a), the declaration of acceleration shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the Republic has remedied or cured the Event of Default or if the Holders of the relevant indebtedness rescind the declaration, within 60 days after the event.

(e) For the purposes of this paragraph 5, “Performing Public External Indebtedness” means Public External Indebtedness issued after June 2, 2005.

6. Purchase of [Bonds] by the Republic. The Republic may at any time purchase or acquire any of the [Bonds] in any manner and at any price in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. [Bonds] that are purchased or acquired by the Republic may, at the Republic’s discretion, be held, resold or surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, but any [Bond] so purchased by the Republic may not be re-issued or resold except in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable law.

7. Holders’ Meetings and Written Action. The Indenture sets forth the provisions for the convening of meetings of Holders of [Bonds] and actions taken by written consent of the Holders of [Bonds].

8. Replacement, Exchange and Transfer of the [Bonds]. (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, in case any [Bond] shall become mutilated, defaced or be purportedly destroyed, lost or stolen, the Republic in its discretion may execute, and upon the request of the Republic, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new [Bond] bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced [Bond], or in lieu of and in substitution for the purportedly destroyed, lost or stolen [Bond]. In every case, the applicant for a substitute [Bond] shall furnish to the Republic and to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by each of them to indemnify, defend and to save each of them and any agent of the Republic or the Trustee harmless and, in every case of destruction, loss, theft or evidence to their satisfaction of the apparent destruction, loss or theft of such [Bond] and of the ownership thereof. Upon the issuance of any substitute [Bond], the Holder of such [Bond], if so requested by the Republic, shall pay a sum sufficient to cover any stamp duty, tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Republic and the Trustee) connected with the preparation and issuance of the substitute [Bond].

C- 8

(b) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, and subject to paragraph 8(e) hereof, a Certificated Security of a Series may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Securities of such Series in different authorized denominations and a beneficial interest in a [Global Bond] may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Securities of such Series in authorized denominations or for an equal aggregate principal amount of beneficial interests in another [Global Bond] by the Holder or Holders surrendering the [Bond] or [Bonds] for exchange at the Corporate Trust Office, together with a written request for the exchange. Any registration of transfer or exchange shall be effected upon the Republic being satisfied with the documents of title and identity of the Person making the request and subject to such reasonable regulations as the Republic may from time to time agree with the Trustee. Certificated Securities will only be issued in exchange for interests in a [Global Bond] pursuant to Section 2.5(e) or 2.5(f) of the Indenture. The exchange of the [Bonds] will be made by the Trustee.

(c) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, and subject to paragraph 8(e) hereof, a Certificated Security may be transferred in whole or in part (in an amount equal to the authorized denomination or any integral multiple thereof) by the Holder or Holders surrendering the Certificated Security for transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, at the office of any trustee paying agent or at any other office acceptable to the Trustee, accompanied by an executed instrument of transfer substantially as set forth in Exhibit F to the Indenture. The registration of transfer of the [Bonds] will be made by the Trustee.

(d) The costs and expenses of effecting any exchange, transfer or registration of transfer pursuant to this paragraph 8 will be borne by the Republic, except for the expenses of delivery (if any) not made by regular mail and the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp duty, tax or other governmental charge or insurance charge that may be imposed in relation thereto, which will be borne by the Holder of the [Bond]. Registration of the transfer of a [Bond] by the Trustee shall be deemed to be the acknowledgment of such transfer on behalf of the Republic.

(e) The Trustee may decline to accept any request for an exchange or registration of transfer of any [Bond] during the period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the [Bonds].

9. Trustee. For a description of the duties and the immunities and rights of the Trustee under the Indenture, reference is made to the Indenture, and the obligations of the Trustee to the Holder hereof are subject to such immunities and rights.

10. Trustee Paying Agents; Transfer Agents; Registrar. The Republic has initially appointed [______] as paying agent, transfer agent and registrar. At the expense of the Republic, the Trustee may at any time appoint additional or other trustee paying agents, transfer agents and registrars and terminate the appointment of those or any paying agents, transfer agents and registrar, provided that while the [Bonds] are Outstanding the Republic will maintain in [The City of New York] (i) a paying agent, (ii) an office or agency where the [Bonds] may be presented for exchange, transfer and registration of transfer as provided in the Indenture and (iii) a registrar. [If the Bonds are listed in the Euro MTF Market or the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of such Exchange so require, the Trustee will maintain a paying agent in Luxembourg.] The Republic or the Trustee, as the case may be, will give prompt notice to all Holders of the [Bonds] of any future appointment or any resignation or removal of any trustee paying agent, transfer agent or registrar or of any change by any trustee paying agent, transfer agent or registrar in any of its specified offices. Subject to the foregoing, the Republic shall have the right at any time to instruct the Trustee to terminate any such appointment and to appoint any other paying agents or transfer agents in such other places as it may deem appropriate for the purpose of making payments for the exclusive benefit of Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the trustee paying agent and any trustee paying agent appointed hereunder shall be agents solely of the Trustee, and the Republic shall have no authority over or any direct relationship with the trustee paying agent or any such trustee paying agent.

C- 9

11. Enforcement. Except as provided in Section 4.7 of the Indenture, no Holder of [Bonds] of any Series shall have any right by virtue of or by availing itself of any provision of the Indenture or of the [Bonds] of such Series to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to the Indenture or of the [Bonds], or for any other remedy hereunder or under the [Bonds], unless (a) such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and of the continuance thereof with respect to such Series of [Bonds], (b) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount Outstanding of [Bonds] of such Series shall have made specific written request to the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have provided to the Trustee such indemnity or other security as it may require and (c) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and provision of indemnity or other security, shall have failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.9 of the Indenture; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by every Holder of [Bonds] of a Series with every other Holder of [Bonds] of such Series and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself of any provision of the Indenture or of the [Bonds] to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder of [Bonds] of such Series or to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under the Indenture or under the [Bonds] of such Series, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of [Bonds] of such Series. For the protection and enforcement of this paragraph 11, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

12. Notices. The Republic or the Trustee, as the case may be, will mail any notices to the Holders of the Certificated Securities at their registered addresses as reflected in the Register maintained by the registrar. The Republic will consider any mailed notice to have been given five Business Days after it has been sent. The Republic will give notices to the Holders of a [Global Bond] in accordance with the procedures and practices of the Depositary and such notices shall be deemed given upon actual receipt thereof by the Depositary. The Republic will also publish notices to the Holders (a) in a leading newspaper having general circulation in Buenos Aires, New York City and London (which is expected to be La Nación or Ámbito Financiero, The Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times, respectively) and (b) if and so long as the [Bonds] are listed on the Euro MTF Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of the exchange so require, in a leading newspaper having general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be Luxemburger Wort) and on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxx.xx. If publication in a leading newspaper in Luxembourg is not practicable, the Republic will publish such notices in a leading English language daily newspaper with general circulation in Europe. The Republic will consider any published notice to be given on the date of its first publication.

The Republic may from time to time, without the consent of Holders of the [Bonds], create and issue additional [Bonds] having the same Terms as the [Bonds] in all respects, except for issue date, issue price, original interest accrual date and the first interest payment on the [Bonds]; provided, however, that any additional [Bonds] subsequently issued shall be issued, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, either (a) as part of the “same issue” as the [Bonds], or (b) in a “qualified reopening” of the [Bonds], unless such additional [Bonds] have a separate CUSIP, ISIN or other identifying number from the previously Outstanding [Bonds]. Such Additional [Bonds] will be consolidated with and will form a single Series with the previously Outstanding [Bonds].

14. [Prescription. All claims against the Republic for the payment of principal, interest, premium, if any, or other amounts due on, the [Bonds] [(including Additional Amounts)]¹⁷ shall be prescribed unless made within five years, with respect to principal, and two years, with respect to interest, premium, if any, or other amounts due on the [Bonds] [(including Additional Amounts)]¹⁸, in each case from the date on which such payment first became due, or a shorter period if provided by Argentine law.]

(d) Subject to paragraph 16(i), the Republic hereby appoints Banco de la Nación Argentina, at its office located at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, 00000, and, if such Person is not maintained by the Republic as its agent for such purpose, the Republic will appoint another Person to act as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon whom process may be served in any Related Proceeding or any action or proceeding to enforce or execute any Related Judgment brought against it in any New York state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. Such appointment shall be irrevocable until all amounts in respect of the principal of and any interest due and to become due on or in respect of all the [Bonds] have been provided to the Trustee pursuant to the terms hereof, except that, if for any reason, such Authorized Agent ceases to be able to act as Authorized Agent or to have an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, the Republic will appoint another Person in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, selected in its discretion, as such Authorized Agent. Prior to the date of issuance of any [Bonds], the Republic shall obtain the consent of Banco de la Nación Argentina to its appointment as such Authorized Agent, a copy of which acceptance shall be provided to the Trustee. The Republic shall take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary to continue such appointment or appointments in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent at the address indicated above, as such address may be changed within the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, by notice given by the Authorized Agent to each party hereto, shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Republic.

(f) The submission to and acceptance of jurisdiction set out in paragraphs 16(b) and (e) above are intended to be effective upon execution of [Bond] without further act by the Republic before any such court and introduction of a true copy of this [Bond] into evidence shall be conclusive and final evidence of such waiver.

C- 12

(g) Subject to paragraph 16(i), to the extent that the Republic or any of its revenues, assets or properties shall be entitled, in any jurisdiction in which any Specified Court is located, in which any Related Proceeding may at any time be brought against it or any of its revenues, assets or properties, or in any jurisdiction in which any Specified Court is located in which any suit, action or proceeding may at any time be brought for the purpose of enforcing or executing any judgment issued in any Related Proceeding (a “Related Judgment”), to any immunity from suit, from the jurisdiction of any such court, from set-off, from attachment prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution of judgment, from execution of a judgment or from any other legal or judicial process or remedy, and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there shall be attributed such an immunity, the Republic irrevocably waives such immunity to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction, including the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (the “Immunities Act”) (and consents to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with any Related Proceeding or Related Judgment as permitted by applicable law, including the Immunities Act), provided, however, that such waiver shall not extend to and the Republic shall be immune in respect of and in relation to any suit, action or proceeding or enforcement of any Related Judgment against (i) any reserves of the Central Bank (Banco Central de la República Argentina), (ii) any property in the public domain located in the territory of the Republic, including property that falls within the purview of Sections 234 and 235 of the Civil and Commercial Code of the Republic, (iii) any property located in or outside the territory of the Republic that provides an essential public service, (iv) any property (whether in the form of cash, bank deposits, securities, third party obligations or any other methods of payment) of the Republic, its governmental agencies and other governmental entities relating to the performance of the budget, within the purview of Sections 165 through 170 of Law No. 11,672, Ley Complementaria Permanente de Presupuesto (t.o. 2014), (v) any property entitled to the privileges and immunities of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961 and the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations of 1963, including, but not limited to, property, premises and bank accounts used by the missions of the Republic, (vi) any property used by a diplomatic, governmental or consular mission of the Republic, (vii) taxes, duties, levies, assessments, royalties or any other governmental charges imposed by the Republic, including the right of the Republic to collect any such charges, (viii) any property of a military character or under the control of a military authority or defense agency of the Republic, (ix) property forming part of the cultural heritage of the Republic, or (x) property entitled to immunity under any applicable sovereign immunity laws.

(h) This waiver of sovereign immunity constitutes only a limited and specific waiver for the purpose of the Indenture and this [Bond] and under no circumstances shall it be interpreted as a general waiver by the Republic or a waiver with respect to proceedings unrelated to the Indenture or this [Bond].

C- 13

17. Indemnification for Foreign Exchange Fluctuations. The obligation of Republic to any Holder under the [Bonds] that has obtained a court judgment affecting the [Bonds] shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which the [Bond] is denominated (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Holder of any amount in the Judgment Currency, such Holder may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency (or, if it is not practicable to make that purchase on that day, on the first Business Day on which it is practicable to do so). If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the amount originally to be paid to such Holder in the Agreement Currency, the Republic agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding such judgment, to pay the difference, and if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased exceeds the amount originally to be paid to such Holder, such Holder agrees to pay to or for the account of the Republic such excess, provided that such Holder shall not have any obligation to pay any such excess as long as a default by the Republic in its obligations hereunder has occurred and is continuing, in which case such excess may be applied by such Holder to such obligations.

18. Warranty of the Republic. Subject to paragraph 15, the Republic hereby certifies and warrants that all acts, conditions and things required to be done and performed and to have happened precedent to the creation and issuance of this [Bond] and to constitute the same legal, valid and binding obligations of the Republic enforceable in accordance with their terms, have been done and performed and have happened in due and strict compliance with all applicable laws.

19. Definitive Headings. The descriptive headings appearing in these Terms are for convenience of reference only and shall not alter, limit or define the provisions hereof.

20. Modifications. (a) Any Modification to the [Bonds] or the Indenture insofar as it affects the [Bonds] shall be made in accordance with Article Ten and Article Eleven of the Indenture.

(b) Any Modification pursuant to this paragraph 20 will be conclusive and binding on all Holders of the [Bonds], and on all future Holders of the [Bonds] whether or not notation of such Modification is made upon the [Bonds]. Any instrument given by or on behalf of any Holder of a [Bond] in connection with any consent to or approval of any such Modification will be conclusive and binding on all subsequent Holders of that [Bond].

of The Republic of Argentina (the “Bonds”)

Reference is made to the Indenture, dated as of April 22, 2016, (the “Indenture”), between The Republic of Argentina (the “Republic”) and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee. Terms used herein and defined in the Indenture or in Regulation S or Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) are used herein as so defined.

This certificate relates to US$________ principal amount of Bonds, which are evidenced by the following certificate(s) (the “Specified Bonds”):

[CUSIP No(s). __________________________]

[ISIN No(s). __________________________]

[CERTIFICATE No(s). ____________________]

The Person in whose name this certificate is executed below (the “undersigned”) hereby certifies that either (i) it is the sole beneficial owner of the Specified Bonds or (ii) it is acting on behalf of all the beneficial owners of the Specified Bonds and is duly authorized by them to do so. Such beneficial owner or owners are referred to herein collectively as the “Owner”. If the Specified Bonds are represented by a Global Bond, they are held through a Participant in the name of the undersigned, as or on behalf of the Owner.

The Owner has requested that the Specified Bonds be transferred to a Person (the “Transferee”) who shall take delivery in the form of a Regulation S Bond. In connection with such transfer, the Owner hereby certifies that, unless such transfer is being effected pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, it is being effected in accordance with Rule 903 or 904 or Rule 144 under the Securities Act and with all applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and other jurisdictions. Accordingly, the Owner hereby further certifies as follows:

G- 1

1. Rule 903 or 904 Transfers. If the transfer is being effected in accordance with Rule 903 or 904:

(a) the Owner is not a distributor of the Bonds, an affiliate of the Republic or of any such distributor or a person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing;

(b) the offer of the Specified Bonds was not made to a person in the United States;

The Republic of Argentina (the “Republic”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, upon surrender hereof of the principal sum of (U.S.$ ) or such amount as shall be the outstanding principal amount hereof on April 22, 2019, together with interest accrued from October 22, 2016 to, but excluding, the maturity date or on such earlier date as the principal hereof may become due in accordance with the provisions hereof.

Interest shall accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from October 22, 2016 until payment of said principal sum has been made or duly provided for, and shall be payable to Holders of record as of April 7 and October 7 of each year (each, a “Record Date”). This is a Global Bond (as that term is defined in the Indenture referred to below) deposited with the Depositary, and registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee or common custodian, and accordingly, the Depositary or its nominee or common custodian, as Holder of record of this Global Bond, shall be entitled to receive payments of principal and interest, other than principal and interest due at the maturity date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Such payment shall be made exclusively in such coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE BONDS

1. General. (a) This Bond is one of a duly authorized Series of debt securities of The Republic of Argentina (the “Republic”), designated as its 6.250% Bonds due 2019 (each Bond of this Series a “Bond,” and collectively, the “Bonds”), and issued or to be issued in one or more Series pursuant to an Indenture dated as of April 22, 2016, between the Republic and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended from time to time (the “Indenture”). The Holders of the Bonds will be entitled to the benefits of, be bound by, and be deemed to have notice of, all of the provisions of the Indenture. A copy of the Indenture is on file and may be inspected at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. All capitalized terms used in this Bond but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. Insofar as the provisions of the Indenture may conflict with the provisions set forth in this Bond, the latter shall control for purposes of this Bond.

(b) The Bonds constitute and will constitute direct, general, unconditional and unsubordinated obligations of the Republic for which the full faith and credit of the Republic is pledged. The Bonds rank and will rank without any preference among themselves and equally with all other unsubordinated Public External Indebtedness of the Republic. It is understood that this provision shall not be construed so as to require the Republic to make payments under the Bonds ratably with payments being made under any other Public External Indebtedness.

(c) The Bonds were authorized and issued under Law No. 27,198, Law No. 27,249, Decree No. 594/2016 dated April 18, 2016, of the Executive Power of the Republic, as such Decree may be supplemented or amended from time to time and Resolution No. 135, dated April 13, 2016 of the Ministry of Treasury and Public Finance, Resolution No. 137, dated April 19, 2016 of the Ministry of Treasury and Public Finance and Resolution No. 146 dated April 21, 2016 of the Ministry of Treasury and Public Finance.

(d) The Bonds are in fully registered form, without coupons in denominations of US$150,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof. The Bonds may be issued in certificated form (the “Certificated Securities”), or may be represented by one or more registered global securities (each, a “Global Bond”) held by or on behalf of the Depositary. Certificated Securities will be available only in the limited circumstances set forth in the Indenture. The Bonds, exchanges and transfers thereof, shall be registered as provided in Section 2.6 of the Indenture. Any Person in whose name a Bond shall be registered may (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) be treated at all times, by all Persons and for all purposes as the absolute owner of such Bond regardless of any notice of ownership, theft, loss or any writing thereon.

(e) For the purposes of this paragraph 1 and paragraphs 4 and 5 below, the following terms shall have the meanings specified below:

R- 1

“External Indebtedness” means obligations (other than the Bonds) for borrowed money or evidenced by securities, debentures, notes or other similar instruments payable by their terms, or which at the option of the holder thereof may be payable, in a currency other than the lawful currency of the Republic, provided that (i) no Domestic Foreign Currency Indebtedness, as defined below, and (ii) no other indebtedness governed by the laws of the Republic and originally settled in Argentina shall constitute External Indebtedness.

R- 2

2. Payments. (a) The Republic covenants and agrees that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Amounts) on, the Bonds and any other payments to be made by the Republic under the Bonds and the Indenture, at the place or places, at the respective times and in the manner provided in the Bonds and the Indenture. Principal of the Bonds will be payable against surrender of such Bonds at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in New York City or, subject to applicable laws and regulations, at the office outside of the United States of a paying agent that shall be appointed by the Trustee, at the expense of the Republic (each, a “trustee paying agent”), by U.S. dollar check drawn on, or by transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the Holder with, a bank located in New York City. Payment of interest or principal (including Additional Amounts (as defined below)) on Bonds will be made to the Persons in whose name such Bonds are registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date, whether or not such day is a Business Day (as defined below), notwithstanding the cancellation of such Bonds upon any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to the Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date; provided that if and to the extent the Republic shall default in the payment of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date, such defaulted interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Bonds are registered as of a subsequent record date established by the Republic by notice, as provided in paragraph 12 of these Terms, by or on behalf of the Republic to the Holders of the Bonds not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent record date, such record date to be not less than 10 days preceding the date of payment of such defaulted interest. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, in the case where such interest, principal or premium, if any, (including Additional Amounts as defined below) is not punctually paid or duly provided for, the Trustee shall have the right to fix such subsequent record date, and, if fixed by the Trustee, such subsequent record date shall supersede any such subsequent record date fixed by the Republic. Payment of interest on Certificated Securities will be made (i) by a U.S. dollar check drawn on a bank in New York City mailed to the Holder at such Holder’s registered address or (ii) upon application by the Holder of at least U.S.$5,000,000 in principal amount of Certificated Securities to the Trustee not later than the relevant Record Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the Holder with a bank in New York City. Payment of interest on a Global Bond will be made (i) by a U.S. dollar check drawn on a bank in New York City delivered to the Depositary at its registered address or (ii) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the Depositary with a bank in New York City. “Business Day” shall mean any day except a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which commercial banks in New York City or in The City of Buenos Aires (or in the city where the relevant paying or transfer agent is located) are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close. The Republic agrees that Section 765 of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code is not applicable to the payment of amounts due on Debt Securities.

(b) In any case where the date of payment of the principal, interest or premium, if any, (including Additional Amounts) on, the Bonds shall not be a Business Day, then payment of principal, interest or premium, if any, (including Additional Amounts) will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on the Bonds will accrue as a result of the delay in payment.

(d) Any monies deposited with or paid to the Trustee or to any trustee paying agent for the payment of the principal, interest or premium, if any, (including Additional Amounts) on any Bond and not applied but remaining unclaimed for one year after the date upon which such principal, interest or premium, if any, shall have become due and payable shall be repaid to or for the account of the Republic by the Trustee or such trustee paying agent, upon the written request of the Republic and the Holder of such Bond shall thereafter look only to the Republic for any payment which such Holder may be entitled to collect, and all liability of the Trustee or such trustee paying agent with respect to such monies shall thereupon cease. The Republic shall cause all returned, unclaimed monies to be held in trust for the relevant Holder of the Bond until such time as the claims against the Republic for payment of such amounts shall have prescribed pursuant to paragraph 14 of these Terms and the Republic’s obligations to make payments on the Bonds as they become due will not be affected until the expiration of such prescription period.

R- 3

(e) If the Republic at any time defaults in the payment of any principal of, or interest (including Additional Amounts) on the Bonds, the Republic will pay interest on the amount in default (to the extent permitted by law), calculated for each day until paid, at the rate of 6.250% per annum, together with Additional Amounts, if applicable.

3. Additional Amounts. All payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Bond by the Republic shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the Republic or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax (together “Taxes”), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In such event, the Republic shall pay to the registered Holders of this Bond such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as will result in receipt by such Holders of such amounts of principal, premium and interest as would have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required; except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to any Bond (i) to a Holder or a beneficial owner of a Bond where such Holder or beneficial owner or Person is liable for such Taxes in respect of this Bond by reason of his having some connection with the Republic other than the mere holding of such Bond or the receipt of principal, premium or interest in respect thereof or the enforcement of rights with respect to the Bond; (ii) to a Holder or beneficial owner of a Bond, that failed to comply with any certification, identification or other reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Republic of such Holder or beneficial owner or other Person, if compliance with the requirement is a precondition to exemption from all or any portion of such withholding or deduction; provided, that (A) the Republic or the Republic’s agent has notified the Holders of such certification, identification or other reporting requirement at least 15 days before the applicable payment date and (B) in no event shall such Holder’s or beneficial owner’s or other Person’s obligation to satisfy such a requirement require such Holder or beneficial owner or other Person to provide any materially more onerous information, documents or other evidence than would be required to be provided had such Holder or beneficial owner or other Person been required to file Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-8EXP and/or W-8IMY; or (iii) presented for payment more than 30 days after the Relevant Date, as defined herein, except to the extent that the Holder thereof would have been entitled to Additional Amounts on presenting the same for payment on the last day of such period of 30 days.

“Relevant Date” in respect of any Bond means the date on which payment in respect thereof becomes due or (if the full amount of the money payable on such date has not been received by the Trustee on or prior to such due date) the date on which notice is duly given to the Holders by the Republic that such moneys have been so received and are available for payment. Any reference herein to “principal” and/or “interest” shall be deemed to include any Additional Amounts which may be payable on this Bond.

R- 4

The Republic will pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes or any excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise in the Republic or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority thereof or therein in respect of the creation, issue, execution, initial delivery or registration of the Bond or any other document or instrument referred to therein. The Republic will also indemnify the Holders from and against any stamp, court or documentary taxes or any excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies resulting from, or required to be paid by any of them which arise in the Republic or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority thereof or therein in connection with, the enforcement of the obligations of the Republic under the Bond or any other document or instrument referred to therein following the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined below).

4. Negative Pledge Covenant of Republic. (a) So long as any Bond remains Outstanding, save for the exceptions set forth below, the Republic will not create or permit to subsist any lien, pledge, mortgage, security interest, deed of trust, charge or other encumbrance or preferential arrangement which has the practical effect of constituting a security interest (“Lien”) upon the whole or any part of its assets or revenues to secure any Public External Indebtedness of the Republic unless, at the same time or prior thereto, the Republic’s obligations under the Bonds either (i) are secured equally and ratably therewith, or (ii) have the benefit of such other security, guarantee, indemnity or other arrangement as shall be approved by the Holders of the Bonds (as provided in Articles Ten and Eleven of the Indenture).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Republic may permit to subsist:

R- 5

iv. any Lien created in connection with the transactions contemplated by The Republic of Argentina 1992 Financing Plan dated June 23, 1992 sent to the international banking community with the communication dated June 23, 1992 from the Minister of Economy and Public Works and Services of Argentina (the “1992 Financing Plan”) and the implementing documentation therefore, including any Lien to secure obligations under the collateralized securities issued thereunder (the “1992 Par and Discount Bonds”) and any Lien securing indebtedness outstanding as of April 22, 2016 to the extent required to be equally and ratably secured with the 1992 Par and Discount Bonds;

v. any Lien in existence as of April 22, 2016;

vii. any Lien on any of the 1992 Par and Discount Bonds; and

5. Events of Default. (a) Each of the following events will constitute an “Event of Default” under the Bonds:

i. Non-Payment: the Republic fails to pay any principal of or interest on any of the Bonds when due and payable and such failure continues for 30 days; or

ii. Breach of Other Obligations: the Republic does not perform or comply with any of its other obligations in the Bonds or in the Indenture and such failure cannot be remedied or is not remedied within 90 days after the Republic receives written notice of request to remedy such failure from the Trustee; or

iii. Cross Default: any event or condition shall occur which results in the acceleration of the maturity (other than by optional or mandatory prepayment or redemption) of any Performing Public External Indebtedness of the Republic having an aggregate principal amount of U.S.$50,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies) or more, or the Republic fails to pay Performing Public External Indebtedness having an aggregate principal amount of U.S.$50,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies) or more, when and as the same shall become due and payable and that failure continues past the applicable grace period, if any; or

R- 6

v. Validity: the validity of the Bonds shall be contested by the Republic.

(b) If an Event of Default under the Bonds shall have occurred and be continuing then in each and every such case, upon notice in writing by the Holders (the “Demanding Holders”) (acting individually or together) of not less than 25% of the aggregate Outstanding principal amount of the Bonds to the Republic, with a copy to the Trustee, of any such Event of Default and its continuance, the Demanding Holders may declare the principal amount of all the Bonds due and payable immediately, and the same shall become and shall be due and payable upon the date that such written notice is received by or on behalf of the Republic, unless prior to receiving such notice all Events of Default in respect of all the Bonds shall have been cured or waived; provided that if, at any time after the principal of the Bonds shall have been so declared due and payable, and before the sale of any property pursuant to any judgment or decree for the payment of monies due which shall have been obtained or entered in connection with the Bonds, the Republic shall pay or shall deposit (or cause to be paid or deposited) with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal upon all the Bonds which shall have become due otherwise than solely by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of interest, to the extent permitted by law, and on such principal of each Bond at the rate of interest specified herein, to the date of such payment of interest or principal) and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of its counsel, and if any and all Events of Default hereunder, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Bonds which shall have become due solely by acceleration, shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein, then, and in every such case, the Holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, by written notice to the Republic and to the Trustee, may, on behalf of all of the Holders, waive all defaults and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon. Actions by Holders pursuant to this paragraph 5 need not be taken at a meeting pursuant to paragraph 7 hereof. Actions by the Trustee and the Holders pursuant to this paragraph 5 are subject to Article Four of the Indenture.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default specified in clauses (ii) or (v) of paragraph 5(a), the principal amount of and the accrued interest on the Bonds may only be declared immediately due and payable if such event is materially prejudicial to the interests of the Holders of Bonds. Only Performing Public External Indebtedness is considered for purposes of paragraph 5(a)(iii) (Cross-Default).

(e) For the purposes of this paragraph 5, “Performing Public External Indebtedness” means Public External Indebtedness issued after June 2, 2005.

R- 7

6. Purchase of Bonds by the Republic. The Republic may at any time purchase or acquire any of the Bonds in any manner and at any price in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Bonds that are purchased or acquired by the Republic may, at the Republic’s discretion, be held, resold or surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, but any Bond so purchased by the Republic may not be re-issued or resold except in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable law.

7. Holders’ Meetings and Written Action. The Indenture sets forth the provisions for the convening of meetings of Holders of Bonds and actions taken by written consent of the Holders of Bonds.

8. Replacement, Exchange and Transfer of the Bonds. (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, in case any Bond shall become mutilated, defaced or be purportedly destroyed, lost or stolen, the Republic in its discretion may execute, and upon the request of the Republic, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Bond bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced Bond, or in lieu of and in substitution for the purportedly destroyed, lost or stolen Bond. In every case, the applicant for a substitute Bond shall furnish to the Republic and to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by each of them to indemnify, defend and to save each of them and any agent of the Republic or the Trustee harmless and, in every case of destruction, loss, theft or evidence to their satisfaction of the apparent destruction, loss or theft of such Bond and of the ownership thereof. Upon the issuance of any substitute Bond, the Holder of such Bond, if so requested by the Republic, shall pay a sum sufficient to cover any stamp duty, tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Republic and the Trustee) connected with the preparation and issuance of the substitute Bond.

(b) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, and subject to paragraph 8(e) hereof, a Certificated Security of a Series may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Securities of such Series in different authorized denominations and a beneficial interest in a Global Bond may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Securities of such Series in authorized denominations or for an equal aggregate principal amount of beneficial interests in another Global Bond by the Holder or Holders surrendering the Bond or Bonds for exchange at the Corporate Trust Office, together with a written request for the exchange. Any registration of transfer or exchange shall be effected upon the Republic being satisfied with the documents of title and identity of the Person making the request and subject to such reasonable regulations as the Republic may from time to time agree with the Trustee. Certificated Securities will only be issued in exchange for interests in a Global Bond pursuant to Section 2.5(e) or 2.5(f) of the Indenture. The exchange of the Bonds will be made by the Trustee.

R- 8

(d) The costs and expenses of effecting any exchange, transfer or registration of transfer pursuant to this paragraph 8 will be borne by the Republic, except for the expenses of delivery (if any) not made by regular mail and the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp duty, tax or other governmental charge or insurance charge that may be imposed in relation thereto, which will be borne by the Holder of the Bond. Registration of the transfer of a Bond by the Trustee shall be deemed to be the acknowledgment of such transfer on behalf of the Republic.

(e) The Trustee may decline to accept any request for an exchange or registration of transfer of any Bond during the period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Bonds.

10. Trustee Paying Agents; Transfer Agents; Registrar. The Republic has initially appointed The Bank of New York Mellon as paying agent, transfer agent and registrar. At the expense of the Republic, the Trustee may at any time appoint additional or other trustee paying agents, transfer agents and registrars and terminate the appointment of those or any paying agents, transfer agents and registrar, provided that while the Bonds are Outstanding the Republic will maintain in The City of New York (i) a paying agent, (ii) an office or agency where the Bonds may be presented for exchange, transfer and registration of transfer as provided in the Indenture and (iii) a registrar. If the Bonds are listed in the Euro MTF Market or the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of such Exchange so require, the Trustee will maintain a paying agent in Luxembourg. The Republic or the Trustee, as the case may be, will give prompt notice to all Holders of the Bonds of any future appointment or any resignation or removal of any trustee paying agent, transfer agent or registrar or of any change by any trustee paying agent, transfer agent or registrar in any of its specified offices. Subject to the foregoing, the Republic shall have the right at any time to instruct the Trustee to terminate any such appointment and to appoint any other paying agents or transfer agents in such other places as it may deem appropriate for the purpose of making payments for the exclusive benefit of Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the trustee paying agent and any trustee paying agent appointed hereunder shall be agents solely of the Trustee, and the Republic shall have no authority over or any direct relationship with the trustee paying agent or any such trustee paying agent.

11. Enforcement. Except as provided in Section 4.7 of the Indenture, no Holder of Bonds of any Series shall have any right by virtue of or by availing itself of any provision of the Indenture or of the Bonds of such Series to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to the Indenture or of the Bonds, or for any other remedy hereunder or under the Bonds, unless (a) such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and of the continuance thereof with respect to such Series of Bonds, (b) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount Outstanding of Bonds of such Series shall have made specific written request to the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have provided to the Trustee such indemnity or other security as it may require and (c) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and provision of indemnity or other security, shall have failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.9 of the Indenture; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by every Holder of Bonds of a Series with every other Holder of Bonds of such Series and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself of any provision of the Indenture or of the Bonds to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder of Bonds of such Series or to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under the Indenture or under the Bonds of such Series, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Bonds of such Series. For the protection and enforcement of this paragraph 11, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

R- 9

The Republic will consider any published notice to be given on the date of its first publication.

13. Further Issues of Bonds. The Republic may from time to time, without the consent of Holders of the Bonds, create and issue additional Bonds having the same Terms as the Bonds in all respects, except for issue date, issue price, original interest accrual date and the first interest payment on the Bonds; provided, however, that any additional Bonds subsequently issued shall be issued, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, either (a) as part of the “same issue” as the Bonds, or (b) in a “qualified reopening” of the Bonds, unless such additional Bonds have a separate CUSIP, ISIN or other identifying number from the previously Outstanding Bonds.

Any proceeding against the Trustee arising out of or related to the Indenture or the Bonds shall be commenced solely in a New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York. The Republic and the Holders, by their acceptance of the Bonds, agree to the foregoing and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any such court.

(c) The Republic hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to Related Proceedings brought in a Specified Court whether on the grounds of venue, residence or domicile or on the ground that the Related Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum (except for any Related Proceedings relating to the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof).

(d) Subject to paragraph 16(i), the Republic hereby appoints Banco de la Nación Argentina, at its office located at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, 00000, and, if such Person is not maintained by the Republic as its agent for such purpose, the Republic will appoint another Person, to act as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon whom process may be served in any Related Proceeding or any action or proceeding to enforce or execute any Related Judgment brought against it in any New York state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. Such appointment shall be irrevocable until all amounts in respect of the principal of and any interest due and to become due on or in respect of all the Bonds have been provided to the Trustee pursuant to the terms hereof, except that, if for any reason, such Authorized Agent ceases to be able to act as Authorized Agent or to have an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, the Republic will appoint another Person in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, selected in its discretion, as such Authorized Agent. Prior to the date of issuance of any Bonds, the Republic shall obtain the consent of Banco de la Nación Argentina to its appointment as such Authorized Agent, a copy of which acceptance shall be provided to the Trustee. The Republic shall take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary to continue such appointment or appointments in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent at the address indicated above, as such address may be changed within the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, by notice given by the Authorized Agent to each party hereto, shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Republic.

R- 11

(f) The submission to and acceptance of jurisdiction set out in paragraphs 16(b) and (e) above are intended to be effective upon execution of Bond without further act by the Republic before any such court and introduction of a true copy of this Bond into evidence shall be conclusive and final evidence of such waiver.

(g) Subject to paragraph 16(i), to the extent that the Republic or any of its revenues, assets or properties shall be entitled, in any jurisdiction in which any Specified Court is located, in which any Related Proceeding may at any time be brought against it or any of its revenues, assets or properties, or in any jurisdiction in which any Specified Court is located in which any suit, action or proceeding may at any time be brought for the purpose of enforcing or executing any judgment issued in any Related Proceeding (a “Related Judgment”), to any immunity from suit, from the jurisdiction of any such court, from set-off, from attachment prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution of judgment, from execution of a judgment or from any other legal or judicial process or remedy, and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there shall be attributed such an immunity, the Republic irrevocably waives such immunity to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction, including the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (the “Immunities Act”) (and consents to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with any Related Proceeding or Related Judgment as permitted by applicable law, including the Immunities Act); provided, however, that such waiver shall not extend to and the Republic shall be immune in respect of and in relation to any suit, action or proceeding or enforcement of any Related Judgment against (i) any reserves of the Central Bank (Banco Central de la República Argentina), (ii) any property in the public domain located in the territory of the Republic, including property that falls within the purview of Sections 234 and 235 of the Civil and Commercial Code of the Republic, (iii) any property located in or outside the territory of the Republic that provides an essential public service, (iv) any property (whether in the form of cash, bank deposits, securities, third party obligations or any other methods of payment) of the Republic, its governmental agencies and other governmental entities relating to the performance of the budget, within the purview of Sections 165 through 170 of Law No. 11,672, Ley Complementaria Permanente de Presupuesto (t.o. 2014), (v) any property entitled to the privileges and immunities of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961 and the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations of 1963, including, but not limited to, property, premises and bank accounts used by the missions of the Republic, (vi) any property used by a diplomatic, governmental or consular mission of the Republic, (vii) taxes, duties, levies, assessments, royalties or any other governmental charges imposed by the Republic, including the right of the Republic to collect any such charges, (viii) any property of a military character or under the control of a military authority or defense agency of the Republic, (ix) property forming part of the cultural heritage of the Republic, or (x) property entitled to immunity under any applicable sovereign immunity laws.

R- 12

(h) This waiver of sovereign immunity constitutes only a limited and specific waiver for the purpose of the Indenture and this Bond and under no circumstances shall it be interpreted as a general waiver by the Republic or a waiver with respect to proceedings unrelated to the Indenture or this Bond.

17. Indemnification for Foreign Exchange Fluctuations. The obligation of Republic to any Holder under the Bonds that has obtained a court judgment affecting the Bonds shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which the Bond is denominated (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Holder of any amount in the Judgment Currency, such Holder may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency (or, if it is not practicable to make that purchase on that day, on the first Business Day on which it is practicable to do so). If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the amount originally to be paid to such Holder in the Agreement Currency, the Republic agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding such judgment, to pay the difference, and if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased exceeds the amount originally to be paid to such Holder, such Holder agrees to pay to or for the account of the Republic such excess; provided that such Holder shall not have any obligation to pay any such excess as long as a default by the Republic in its obligations hereunder has occurred and is continuing, in which case such excess may be applied by such Holder to such obligations.

18. Warranty of the Republic. Subject to paragraph 15, the Republic hereby certifies and warrants that all acts, conditions and things required to be done and performed and to have happened precedent to the creation and issuance of this Bond and to constitute the same legal, valid and binding obligations of the Republic enforceable in accordance with their terms, have been done and performed and have happened in due and strict compliance with all applicable laws.

19. Definitive Headings. The descriptive headings appearing in these Terms are for convenience of reference only and shall not alter, limit or define the provisions hereof.

20. Modifications. (a) Any Modification to the Bonds or the Indenture insofar as it affects the Bonds shall be made in accordance with Article Ten and Article Eleven of the Indenture.

R- 13

(b) Any Modification pursuant to this paragraph 20 will be conclusive and binding on all Holders of the Bonds, and on all future Holders of the Bonds whether or not notation of such Modification is made upon the Bonds. Any instrument given by or on behalf of any Holder of a Bond in connection with any consent to or approval of any such Modification will be conclusive and binding on all subsequent Holders of that Bond.

A copy of the Indenture is on file and may be inspected at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.
