A Holder may register the transfer of a Note only by written application to the Registrar stating the name of the proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of this Indenture.

At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged to the Registrar. When Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if the requirements for such transactions set forth herein are met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate of the Company directing the authentication and delivery thereof, the Trustee shall authenticate Notes as applicable.

Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Registrar ) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing in a form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar.

The Company and the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange or registration of transfer of Notes (other than any such transfer taxes or other

similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges). No service charge to any Holder shall be made for any such transaction.

The Company shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of (a) any Notes for a period of 15 days next preceding the first mailing of notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed or (b) any Notes called or being called for redemption.

All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange of Notes shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

Claims against the Company for the payment of principal and interest, premium, if any, or other amounts due on the Notes (including Additional Amounts) must be made within five years, with respect to principal, and two years, with respect to interest, premium, if any, or other amounts due on the Notes (including Additional Amounts), in each case from the date on which such payment first became due, or a shorter period if provided by law.

Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary. The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in the Depositary or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or repurchase) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Noteholders and all payments to be made to Noteholders shall be given or made only to the registered Noteholders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

The Trustee shall have no 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 Note (including any transfers between or among participants in the Depositary or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) 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 the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

Section 2.06.Book-entry Provisions For Global Notes. (a) Each Restricted Global Note initially shall (i) be registered in the name of a nominee of the Depositary, (ii) be delivered to the Custodian on behalf of the Depositary and (iii) bear the Securities Act Legend. Each Regulation S Global Note initially shall (i) be registered

in the name of a nominee for the Depositary, (ii) be delivered to the Custodian on behalf of the Depositary and (iii) bear the Securities Act Legend; provided that upon and following the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, such Securities Act Legend shall have no effect and may be removed by the Trustee upon the direction of the Company or a holder of any interest in the Regulation S Global Note with the approval of the Company. Upon and following the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, interests in the Regulation S Global Notes may be held by any Agent Members.

Agent Members shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Custodian, or under the Global Notes, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of any of them as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of any of them, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Global Note.

(b) Except as provided in Section 2.07, transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Note may be transferred, and transfers increasing or decreasing the aggregate principal amount of Global Notes may be conducted only in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary and, to the extent relevant, the provisions of Section 2.07. In addition, Certificated Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, respectively, under the circumstances set forth in Section 2.04(g)

(c) Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Notes that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in the other Global Note will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest.

(d) In connection with the transfer of an entire Restricted Global Note or Regulation S Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to clause (b) of this Section, the Restricted Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate of the Company directing the authentication and delivery thereof, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Restricted Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, as the case may be, an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes of authorized denominations.

(e) Any Certificated Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Restricted Global Note pursuant to clause (b) or (d) of this Section shall, except as otherwise provided by clause (d) of Section 2.07, bear the Securities Act Legend in accordance with Section 2.07(d).

(f) The registered holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

(b) Transfers of interests in a Regulation S Global Note to Other U.S. Persons. Subject to the DTC procedures, (x) during the Distribution Compliance Period, an interest in the Regulation S Global Note proposed to be transferred to any U.S. Person transferee shall be required to be held on behalf of such other U.S. Person transferee only through Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, and (y) upon and following the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, transfers of interests in the Regulation S Global Note to any U.S. Person shall not be so restricted, although interests therein shall be required to be held through Agent Members.

Upon the registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes not bearing the Securities Act Legend, the Registrar shall deliver Notes that do not bear the Securities Act Legend.

(e) General. By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Securities Act Legend, each Holder of such a Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and in the Securities Act Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Note only as provided in this Indenture. The Registrar shall not register a transfer of any Note unless such transfer complies with the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture. In connection with any transfer of Notes, each Holder agrees by its acceptance of the Notes to furnish the Registrar or the Company such certifications, legal opinions or other information as either of them may reasonably require to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act; provided that the Registrar shall not be required to determine (but may rely on a determination made by the Company with respect to) the sufficiency of any such certifications, legal opinions or other information.

The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.06 or this Section 2.07 in accordance with its customary procedures. The Company shall have the right to inspect and make

copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Registrar.

Section 2.08. Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Stolen and Lost Notes. (a) The Company shall execute and deliver to the Trustee Certificated Notes in such amounts and at such times as to enable the Trustee to fulfill its responsibilities under this Indenture and the Notes.

(b) In case any Note shall become mutilated, defaced or be apparently destroyed, lost or stolen, upon the request of the registered holder thereof, the Company in its discretion may execute, and, upon the written request of an Officer of the Company, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate of the Company directing the authentication and delivery thereof, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Note, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced Note, or in lieu of and substitution for the Note so apparently destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substitute Note shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee such security and/or indemnity as may be required by each of them to indemnify and defend and to save each of them harmless and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft evidence to their satisfaction of the apparent destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof. Upon the issuance of any substitute Note, such Holder, if so requested by the Company or the Trustee, will 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 Trustee) connected with the preparation and issuance of the substitute Note. The Trustee is hereby authorized, in accordance with and subject to the foregoing conditions in this clause (b), to authenticate and deliver from time to time, Notes in exchange for or in lieu of Notes, respectively, which become mutilated, defaced, destroyed, stolen or lost. Each Note delivered in exchange for or in lieu of any Note shall carry all the rights to interest (including rights to accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts) which were carried by such Note.

(c) All Notes surrendered for payment or exchange shall be delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.10, cancel and destroy all such Notes surrendered for payment or exchange, in accordance with its Note destruction policy, and shall deliver a certificate of destruction to the Company.

(d) In the event any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen certificate has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new certificate, pay such Notes.

Section 2.09. Further Issues. Subject to the authorization of the CNV, if applicable, the Company may, from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes Outstanding, create and issue additional Notes (“Additional Notes”) having the same terms and conditions as the Notes in all respects (or in all respects except for issue date, issue price, and the first payment of interest on them and, to the extent necessary, certain temporary securities law transfer restrictions) (a “Further Issue”) so that such subsequently issued Additional Notes may be consolidated and form a single

series with the previously Outstanding Notes; provided that the issuance of Additional Notes shall then be permitted under Section 4.02, provided further that any Additional Notes shall be issued under a separate CUSIP, ISIN or other identifying number unless the Additional Notes are issued pursuant to a “qualified reopening” of the original series, are otherwise treated as part of the same “issue” of debt instruments as the original series or are issued at a premium, at the stated redemption price at maturity, or with only de minimis OID, in each case for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Additional Notes issued in this manner will be consolidated and form a single series with the previously Outstanding Notes in accordance with the requirements of the Depositary. The Notes offered hereby and any Additional Notes would be treated as a single class for all purposes, including with respect to redemptions, and would vote together as one class on all matters with respect to the Notes. In connection with any such issuance of Additional Notes, the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee directing the Trustee to authenticate and deliver Additional Notes on the Additional Closing Date specified therein in an aggregate principal amount specified therein and the Trustee, in accordance with such Officers’ Certificate, shall authenticate and deliver such Additional Notes. The Additional Notes will be (i) represented by an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Global Notes or (ii) issued in the form of Certificated Notes if the Notes are no longer represented by Global Notes.

Section 2.10. Cancellation of Notes; Disposition Thereof. All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, if surrendered to the Company or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be canceled by it; and no Notes shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of canceled Notes held by it in accordance with its customary procedures, and deliver a certificate of disposition to the Company. If the Company shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.11. Repurchases. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may at any time purchase any Note in the open market or otherwise at any price. The Company or any such Subsidiary will not have voting rights with respect to such Note in any meeting of Noteholders and such Note will not be considered as Outstanding for purpose of calculating the quorum at the meeting. Any Note so purchased by the Company or its Subsidiaries may not be reissued or resold except in accordance with all applicable securities and other laws.

Section 2.12. Security Identifier Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP,” “ISIN” and/or “common code” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use for the Notes “CUSIP,” “ISIN” and/or “common code” 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 Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such

numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP,” “ISIN” and/or “common code” numbers. Additional Notes will only be issued with the same CUSIP number or other identifying number as the Notes issued hereunder if such further issuance would be treated as part of the same “issue” as the Notes issued hereunder within the meaning of United States Treasury regulation section 1.1275-1(f) or 1.1275-2(k).

Prior to the giving of notice of redemption of Notes pursuant to this Indenture, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the Company is or at the time of the redemption will be entitled to effect such a redemption pursuant to this Indenture, and setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances giving rise to such right of redemption. The Officer’s Certificate shall be accompanied by a written opinion of recognized counsel in the Relevant Jurisdiction independent of the Company to the effect that the Company is, or is expected to become, obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a change or amendment, as described above.

Section 3.05. Method and Effect of Redemption. (a) Notice of any redemption will be delivered at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to registered Holders of Notes, (with a copy to the Trustee) to be redeemed (which in the case of a Global Note, will be a nominee for DTC). In such case, the Company shall provide the Trustee with the information required by Section 3.05(b). For so long as the Notes are listed on the ▇▇▇▇ for trading on the MAE or, in the event that the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, for as long as the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for trading on the Euro MTF Market and the rules of such exchanges so require, the Company will cause notices of redemption to also be published as described in Section 10.02.

(b) The notice of redemption will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will include or state the following:

(i) the redemption date;

(ii) the redemption price, including the portion thereof representing any accrued interest;

(iii) the place or places where Notes are to be surrendered for redemption;

(iv) Notes called for redemption must be so surrendered in order to collect the redemption price;

(v) upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent included in the notice of redemption, if any, on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable on Notes called for redemption, and interest on Notes called for redemption will cease to accrue on and after the redemption date;

(vi) if any Note is redeemed in part, on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Note, new Notes equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the original Note;

(vii) if applicable, the conditions precedent to which the notice of redemption is subject; and

(viii) if any Note contains a CUSIP, ISIN or common code number, no representation is being made as to the correctness of such CUSIP, ISIN or common code number either as printed on the Notes or as contained in the notice of redemption and that the Holder should rely only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes.

(c) Notes called for redemption will become due on the date fixed for redemption. The Company will pay the redemption price for the Notes together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including Additional Amounts, if any) to (but not including) the date of redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes as long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable redemption price pursuant to this Indenture. Upon redemption of the Notes by the Company, the redeemed Notes will be cancelled.

(d) If fewer than all of the Notes are being redeemed, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made, to the extent permitted under applicable law and securities exchange rules, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by using any other method that the Trustee deems fair and appropriate, or otherwise in accordance with DTC’s procedures and requirements, in denominations of U.S.$1,000 principal amount and higher integral multiples of U.S.$1,000. In the case of definitive Notes, upon surrender of any Note redeemed in part, the Holder will receive a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the surrendered Note. In the case of a Global Note, appropriate adjustments to the amount and beneficial interests in the Global Note will be made as necessary. Any notice of redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent. Notes called for redemption become due and payable at the redemption price on the redemption date (subject to the satisfaction of any conditions precedent included in the notice of redemption), and, commencing on the redemption date, Notes redeemed will cease to accrue interest.

(e) The Company may acquire Notes by means of the redemption provisions above or by means other than a redemption, whether by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with the Argentine Capital Markets Law, the CNV Rules and other applicable securities laws, so long as such acquisition does not otherwise breach the terms of this Indenture, and, at the Company’s sole discretion, may resell, cancel or otherwise dispose of such repurchased Notes at any time.

Section 3.06. Offer to Purchase. (a) An Offer to Purchase must be made by written offer (as used in this Section, the “offer”) sent to the Holders. The Company will notify the Trustee at least five (5) days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee) prior to sending the offer to Holders of its obligation to make an Offer to Purchase, and the offer will be sent by the Company or, at the Company’s written direction and upon receipt of such offer from the Company, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. In such case, the Company shall provide the Trustee with the information required by Section 3.06(b).

(b) The offer must include or state the following as to the terms of the Offer to Purchase:

(i) the provision of this Indenture pursuant to which the Offer to Purchase is being made;

(vii) each Holder electing to tender a Note pursuant to the offer will be required to surrender such Note at the place or places specified in the offer prior to the close of business on the expiration date (such Note being, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, duly endorsed or accompanied by a duly executed written instrument of transfer);

(viii) interest on any Note not tendered, or tendered but not purchased by the Company pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, will continue to accrue;

(ix) on the purchase date, the purchase price will become due and payable on each Note accepted for purchase, and interest on Notes purchased will cease to accrue on and after the purchase date;

(x) Holders are entitled to withdraw Notes tendered by giving notice, which must be received by the Company or the Trustee not later than the close of business on the expiration date, setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the tendered Notes, the certificate number of the tendered Notes and a statement that the Holder is withdrawing all or a portion of the tender;

(xi) (A) if Notes in an aggregate principal amount less than or equal to the purchase amount are duly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, the Company will purchase all such Notes, and (B) if the Offer to Purchase is for less than all of the outstanding Notes and Notes in an aggregate principal amount in excess of the purchase amount are tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the offer, the Company will purchase Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the purchase amount on a pro rata basis, with adjustments so that only Notes in multiples of U.S.$1,000 principal amount will be purchased;

(xii) if any Note is purchased in part, new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Note will be issued upon cancellation of the original Note;

(xiii) if applicable, the conditions precedent to which the Offer to Purchase is subject; and

(xiv) if any Note contains a CUSIP, ISIN or common code number, no representation is being made as to the correctness of such a CUSIP, ISIN or common code number either as printed on the Notes or as contained in the offer and that the Holder should rely only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes.

(c) Prior to the purchase date, the Company will accept tendered Notes for purchase as required by the Offer to Purchase and deliver to the Trustee all Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate specifying which Notes have been accepted for purchase. On the purchase date the purchase price will become due and payable on each Note accepted for purchase, and interest on Notes purchased will cease to accrue on and after the purchase date. The Trustee will promptly return to Holders any Notes not accepted for purchase and send to Holders new Notes equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes accepted for purchase in part.

(d) The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and all other applicable securities laws or regulations in making any Offer to Purchase. To the extent that the provisions of any applicable securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of Section 3.06 or Section 4.06, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to

have breached its obligations under Section 3.06 or Section 4.06 by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations.

(b) An installment of principal or interest will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or any Affiliate of the Company) holds on that date money designated for and sufficient to pay the installment. If the Company or any Affiliate of the Company acts as Paying Agent, an installment of principal or interest will be considered paid on the due date only if paid to the Holders.

(c) The Company agrees to pay interest on overdue principal, and, to the extent lawful, overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum specified in the Notes.

(d) All payments in respect of the Notes represented by the Global Notes are to be made at the office or agency of the Paying Agent in New York City, unless the Company elects to make such payments by check mailed to the registered Holders at their registered addresses. With respect to Certificated Notes, the Company will make all payments by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof or, if no such account is specified, by mailing a check to each Holder’s registered address.

(e) No Agent shall be obligated to make any payment to Holders until such time as it has received funds and been able to identify or confirm receipt of such funds.

(f) The Company acknowledges that Article 765 of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code is not applicable with respect to any payments to be performed in connection with the Notes and forever and irrevocably waives any right that might assist it to allege that any payments in connection with the Notes could be payable in any currency other than in U.S. Dollars, and therefore waives and renounces to applicability thereof to any payments in connection with the Notes. Additionally, the Company hereby

expressly, unconditionally and irrevocably waives the right to invoke any defense in relation to its obligations of paying any amounts due under the Notes, including, without limitation, defenses of impossibility, impracticability or frustration of purpose set forth in Section 1091 of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code (if applicable), force majeure or act of God set forth in Sections 955, 1031, 1032 or 1730 of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code (if applicable), impossibility to comply with the obligations set forth in Section 1732 of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code (if applicable), or “onerosidad sobreviniente”, “lesión enorme” or “abuso del derecho” set forth in Section 10 of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code (if applicable).

Section 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain in each of the City of Buenos Aires, Argentina and in each place of payment specified for the Notes an office or agency where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. In addition, so long as the Notes are authorized for their public offer in Argentina and the rules of the CNV or other applicable Argentine law so require, and the rules of the ▇▇▇▇ or of the MAE, as the case may be, so require, the Company will maintain a paying agent, a transfer agent and a registrar in the City of Buenos Aires, Argentina. In the event that the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for trading on the Euro MTF Market, so long as the Notes are listed on such exchange and if the rules of such exchange so require, the Company will also maintain a listing agent, a transfer agent and a paying agent in Luxembourg. The Company hereby initially designates Citibank, N.A. Argentine Branch, as such offices of the Company. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served to the Trustee.

The Company shall, for so long as any Notes are Outstanding, use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain ratings on the Notes from at least two Rating Agencies.

Section 4.03. Ranking. The Notes will: (a) be general, unsecured obligations of the Company; (b) rank equal in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated obligations of the Company (except those obligations preferred by operation of Argentine law, including without limitation labor and tax claims); (c) rank senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company, if any (d) be effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured obligations of the Company, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such obligations; and (e) not be guaranteed by any Subsidiary and therefore will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future obligations of the Subsidiaries.

Section 4.04. Limitation on Liens. The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, Incur or suffer to exist any Lien to secure Debt, except for Permitted Liens, on any of their properties or assets, whether owned on the Issue Date or acquired after the Issue Date, or upon Capital Stock or Debt issued by any Subsidiary and owned

by the Company or any Subsidiary, at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, unless concurrently therewith effective provision that the Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with (or, if the obligation to be secured by the Lien is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, prior to) the Debt so secured for so long as such Debt is so secured.

Section 4.05. Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction with respect to any property or asset (other than any Permitted Sale and Leaseback Transaction) unless the Company and the Subsidiaries would be entitled to create a Lien on such property or asset to secure Attributable Debt without equally and ratably securing the Notes under Section 4.04, in which case, the corresponding Debt and Lien shall be deemed to be Incurred pursuant to those provisions.

Section 4.06. Repurchase of Notes Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, each Holder will have the right to require that the Company repurchase all or a portion (in integral multiples of U.S.$1,000) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus any accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) thereon to the date of purchase.

(b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company shall send, by first class mail or e-mail (with a .pdf attached), a notice to each registered Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, offering to purchase the Notes as described above (a “Change of Control Offer”) and, for so long as the notes are listed on the ▇▇▇▇ for trading on the MAE, and, in the event that the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, for so long as the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for trading on the Euro MTF Market and the rules of the exchange so require, publish such notice as described in Section 10.02 below. The Change of Control Offer will state, among other things, the purchase date, which must not be less than 30 days or more than 60 days from the date the notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The Change of Control Offer will also contain instructions and materials necessary to enable Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the offer.

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(2) deposit with the Paying Agent funds in an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and

(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted, together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Company.

(d) If only a portion of a Note is purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, a new Note in a principal amount equal to the portion thereof not purchased will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note (or appropriate adjustments to the amount and beneficial interests in a Global Note will be made, as appropriate). Notes (or portions thereof) purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be cancelled and interest on Notes purchased will cease to accrue on and after the purchase date.

(e) The Company will comply with Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws and regulations in connection with the purchase of Notes through a Change of Control Offer, and the above procedures will be deemed modified as necessary to permit such compliance.

(f) The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this Indenture as described under Section 3.01, Section 3.02 or Section 3.04, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.

Section 4.07. Reporting Requirements. For so long as any of the Notes remain outstanding and constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act and the Company is not subject to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company will furnish to any Holders and any bona fide prospective purchaser of the Notes, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. All such information shall be in the English language

The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee in electronic form:

(a) within 90 calendar days after the end of each of the first, second and third quarters of the Company’s fiscal year (commencing with the quarter ended June 30, 2019), copies of the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of the relevant period (including a profit and loss account, balance sheet and cash flow statement), setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the corresponding quarter in, and year-to-date portion of, the previous years, prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 (IAS 34) “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB), together with a certificate signed by the person then authorized to sign financial statements on

behalf of the Company to the effect that such financial statements are true in all material respects and present fairly in all material respects in accordance with IFRS, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of the end of, and the results of its operations for, the relevant quarterly period, subject to normal year-end adjustments; and

(b) within 135 calendar days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company (commencing with the year ending December 31, 2019), copies of the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of such fiscal year (including a profit and loss account, balance sheet and cash flow statement), setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous year prepared in accordance with IFRS and audited by a member firm of an internationally recognized firm of independent accountants.

The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine if and when the Company’s financial statements or reports are publicly available and accessible electronically. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such reports shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s or any other Person’s compliance with any of its covenants under this Indenture or the Notes (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

The Company will deliver to the Trustee:

(c) simultaneously with the delivery of each set of audited consolidated financial statements in clause (b) above, an Officers’ Certificate indicating whether the signers know of any Default that occurred during the previous fiscal year, specifying the nature of any Default and its status; and

(d) as soon as possible and in any event within 30 days, after a responsible officer of the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of a Default, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the details of the Default and the actions that the Company proposes to take with respect thereto.

The Company will maintain a public website or, at its option, a non-public website or other electronic distribution system to which the beneficial owners of the notes, prospective investors and security analysts will be given access and on which such reports and information are posted; provided, however, that the Company may, in its sole discretion, exclude direct competitors, customers and suppliers from access to such website or electronic distribution; and provided, further, that it will not be required to furnish the reports and information referred to above so long as such reports or information are available on such website or electronic distribution system. The Trustee shall have no obligation to monitor whether reports have been made available on such websites or other electronic distribution systems.

Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such reports shall not constitute

constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s or any other Person’s compliance with any of its covenants under this Indenture or the Notes (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates); provided, that the Company shall be deemed to have furnished such reports and information to, or filed such reports and information with, the Trustee, the Holders of the Notes and to any beneficial owner or potential purchaser of the Note if it has filed such reports or information with the SEC via the ▇▇▇▇▇ filing system.

Section 4.08. Listing. The Company has applied to list the Notes on the ▇▇▇▇ and to trade the Notes on the MAE and will undertake reasonable efforts to list the Notes on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for trading on the Euro MTF Market. If the admission of the Notes to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and trading on the Euro MTF Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange would, in the future, require the Company to publish financial information either more regularly than it would otherwise be required to, or requires the Company to publish separate financial information, or if the listing, in the judgment of the Company, is unduly burdensome, the Company may seek an alternative admission to listing, trading and/or quotation for the Notes by another listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system. If such alternative admission to listing, trading and/or quotation of the Notes is not available to the Company or is, in the Company’s commercially reasonable judgment, unduly burdensome, the Company shall have no further obligation in respect of any listing of the Notes.

Section 4.09. Payment of Additional Amounts. (a) The Company shall make all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of the Notes 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 (“Taxes”) imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within Argentina, or any other jurisdiction from which the Company or its Paying Agent make payments, in respect of the Notes or by or within any political subdivision thereof or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax, (each, a “Relevant Jurisdiction”), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In the event of any such withholding or deduction of Taxes by a Relevant Jurisdiction, the Company will pay to Holders such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as will result in the receipt by each Holder of the net amount that would otherwise have been receivable by such Holder in the absence of such withholding or deduction, except that no such Additional Amounts will be payable:

(i) in respect of any Taxes that would not have been so withheld or deducted but for the existence of any present or former connection (including, without limitation, a permanent establishment in the Relevant Jurisdiction) between the Holder or beneficial owner of the Note (or, if the Holder or beneficial owner is an estate, nominee, trust, partnership, corporation or other business entity, between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of power over, the Holder or beneficial owner) and any Relevant Jurisdiction with the power to levy or otherwise impose or assess such Tax, other than the mere holding or ownership of

such Note or beneficial interest therein or the receipt of payments or the enforcement of rights thereunder;

(ii) in respect of any Taxes that would not have been so withheld or deducted if the Note had been presented for payment within 30 days after the Relevant Date except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Note been presented for payment on the last day of such 30-day period;

(iii) in respect of any Taxes that would not have been so withheld or deducted but for the failure by the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Note to (A) make a declaration of non-residence, or any other claim or filing for exemption, to which it is entitled or (B) comply with any certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement concerning its nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Relevant Jurisdiction; provided that such declaration or compliance was required by applicable law, regulation, administrative practice or an applicable treaty as a precondition to exemption from all or part of such Taxes and the Company has given the Holders at least 30 days prior notice that they will be required to comply with such requirements;

(iv) in respect of any estate, inheritance, gift, value added, sales, use, excise, transfer, personal property or similar taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges;

(v) in respect of any Taxes that are payable other than by deduction or withholding from payments on the Notes;

(vi) in respect of any Taxes that would not have been so imposed if the Holder had presented the Note for payment (where presentation is required and the Company has given the Holders at least 30 days prior notice that they will be required to comply with such presentation) to another Paying Agent;

(vii) in respect of any payment to a Holder of a Note that is a fiduciary or partnership (including an entity treated as a partnership for tax purposes) or any Person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment or Note, to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such partnership or the beneficial owner of such payment or Note would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the actual Holder of such Note;

(viii) to the extent that the Company has determined based on information obtained directly from the recipient or from third parties that Taxes are imposed due to the residence of the foreign recipient of the payment in a jurisdiction other than a cooperating jurisdiction (jurisdicción cooperante) or otherwise designated as a non-cooperating jurisdiction (jurisdicción no cooperante), in each case as determined under applicable Argentine law or regulation; or

(ix) in respect of any combination of paragraphs (i) through (viii) above.

In the event of any merger or other transaction described and permitted under Article 5, in which the surviving entity is a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of a country other than Argentina, all references to Relevant Jurisdiction under this Section 4.09 and under Section 3.04 will be deemed, for the avoidance of doubt, to include such country and any political subdivision therein or thereof, law or regulations of such country, and any taxing authority of such country or any political subdivision therein or thereof, respectively.

(b) Upon written request from the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, evidencing payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld. Copies of such documentation will be made available by the Trustee to Holders upon written request to the Trustee.

(c) The Company shall promptly pay when due any present or future stamp, issue, registration, court or similar documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies, including interest and penalties, that arise in any jurisdiction from the execution, delivery or registration of each Note or any other document or instrument referred to herein or therein, excluding any such taxes, charges or similar levies imposed by any jurisdiction other than a Relevant Jurisdiction, except those resulting from or required to be paid in connection with, the enforcement of such Notes after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default with respect to the Notes.

(d) In the event that the Company pays any Argentine personal asset tax in respect of the Outstanding Notes, the Company hereby waives any right it may have under Argentine law to seek reimbursement from the Holders or the direct owners of the Notes of any such amounts paid.

ARTICLE 5

LIMITATION ON CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR SALE OF ASSETS

(iii) unless:

(A) either (x) the Company is the continuing Person or (y) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”) is a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of Argentina, the United States of America or any State thereof, the District of Columbia or any member country of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and expressly assumes by supplemental indenture executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes;

(B) immediately before and after giving effect to the transaction, no Default has occurred and is continuing; and

(C) the Company delivers to the Trustee (i) an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer and the supplemental indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture.

These restrictions do not apply to (i) the consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Company with or into a Subsidiary or (ii) the consolidation, amalgamation or merger of a Subsidiary with or into the Company.

(b) The Company shall not lease all or substantially all of its assets, whether in one transaction or a series of transactions, to one or more other Persons, except as permitted under Section 4.05.

(c) Upon the consummation of any transaction effected in accordance with these provisions, if the Company is not the continuing Person, the Successor Company will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture and the Notes with the same effect as if such Successor Company had been named as the Company in this Indenture. Upon such substitution, except in the case of a sale, conveyance, transfer or disposition of less than all of its assets, the Company will be released from its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes.

ARTICLE 6

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

Section 6.01. Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs if:

(a) the Company defaults in the payment when due of the principal of or premium, if any, on any Note when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, including the failure to make a required payment to purchase Notes tendered pursuant to an optional redemption or Change of Control Offer;

(b) the Company defaults in the payment of interest (including any Additional Amounts) on any Note when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and the default continues for a period of 30 days;

(d) the Company defaults in the performance of or breaches any other covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or under the Notes, and the default or breach continues for a period of 60 consecutive days after written notice to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of 25% or more in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes;

(e) there occurs with respect to any Debt of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries having an outstanding principal amount of U.S.$100 million (or the equivalent in other currencies) or more in the aggregate for all such Debt of all such Persons (i) an event of default that results in such Debt being due and payable prior to its scheduled maturity or (ii) a default caused by a failure to make a principal payment when due and such defaulted payment is not made, waived or extended within the applicable grace period;

(f) one or more final and non-appealable judgments or orders for the payment of money are rendered against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries and are not paid or discharged (and are not covered by adequate insurance by a solvent insurer of national or international reputation that has acknowledged its obligations in writing), and there is a period of 60 consecutive days following entry of the final and non-appealable judgment or order (or 30 consecutive days, in the event that an enforcement proceeding is commenced upon the entry of such judgment or order) that causes the aggregate amount for all such final and non-appealable judgments or orders outstanding and not paid or discharged against all such Persons to exceed U.S.$100 million (or the equivalent in other currencies) during which a stay of enforcement, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, is not in effect;

(g) the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries shall, after the Issue Date:

(A) file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or a petition or an answer seeking reorganization or an arrangement with creditors pursuant to a concurso preventivo de acreedores, (B) seek approval of its creditors for an acuerdo preventivo extrajudicial impairing the Notes through any means, including the distribution of an offering circular or similar disclosure materials to creditors in connection with such acuerdo preventivo extrajudicial, (C) file for court endorsement of an acuerdo preventivo extrajudicial impairing the Notes, (D) apply for or consent to the appointment (in a similar court proceeding) of a receiver, Trustee, liquidator or the like for itself or its property or (E) make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

(h) any order, judgment or decree shall be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction to effect any bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution, winding up, liquidation, the appointment of a Trustee, a receiver, liquidator or the like of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or of all of the assets thereof or other like relief in respect of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries under any applicable bankruptcy or

insolvency law, and such order, judgment or decree remains unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days.

Section 6.02. Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default other than a default described under Section 6.01(g) or Section 6.01(h) above with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding, by written notice to the Company (and to the Trustee if the notice is given by the Holders), may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of and accrued interest on the Notes to be immediately due and payable. In the event of a declaration of acceleration because an Event of Default set forth in Section 6.01(e) has occurred and is continuing, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the event of default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(e) shall be remedied or cured by the Company and/or the relevant Subsidiaries or waived by the holders of the relevant Debt within 30 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal and interest will become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described under Section 6.01(g) or Section 6.01(h) above with respect to the Company occurs, the principal of and accrued interest on the Notes then outstanding will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

(b) The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, waive all past Defaults and rescind and annul a declaration of acceleration and its consequences if:

(i) all existing Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Amounts) on the Notes that have become due solely by the declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived,

(ii) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and

(iii) all sums paid by the Trustee and the Agents and reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Trustee and the Agents, their respective agents and counsel, have been paid.

Section 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.

Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.02, Section 6.07, Section 9.02 and Section 9.03, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may, by written notice to the Trustee, waive

an existing Default and its consequences. Upon such waiver, the Default will cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom will be deemed to have been cured, but no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may 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. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders of Notes not joining in the giving of such direction (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such directions are unduly prejudicial to such Noteholders), or in case the Trustee does not receive security and/or indemnity satisfactory to it against costs, liability or expense to be incurred in compliance with such direction, and may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of Notes.

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. A Holder may not institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or Trustee, or for any other remedy under this Indenture or the Notes, unless:

(a) the Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(b) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of an Event of Default;

(c) Holders have offered and provided to the Trustee indemnity and/or security satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liabilities or expenses to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(d) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity and/or security has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

(e) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with such written request;

provided, that a Holder of a Note may institute suit for enforcement of payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on such Note (and Additional Amounts, if any) on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note.

Section 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the right of a Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of or interest on its Note on or after the Stated Maturities thereof, or to bring suit for the

enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates (including any acción ejecutiva individual pursuant to Article 29 of the Negotiable Obligations Law), may not be impaired or affected without the consent of that Holder. To that effect, any beneficial owner of Global Notes shall have the right to obtain evidence of its beneficial ownership interest in a Global Note in accordance with Section 129 of the Argentine Capital Markets Law (including for initiating summary proceedings (acción ejecutiva) in the manner provided by the Negotiable Obligations Law), and for such purposes, such beneficial owner will be treated as the owner of that portion of the Global Note which represents its beneficial ownership interest therein.

Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as Trustee of an express trust for the whole amount of principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.06.

Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Company, its creditors or its property, and unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a Trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any custodian, receiver, assignee, Trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and in the event that the Trustee consents to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06.

Section 6.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First: to the Trustee, the Registrar, the Transfer Agent, the Paying Agent, and the Authentication Agent for all amounts due to the Trustee and such Agents hereunder;

Second: to the Argentine Registrar and Transfer Agent, Representative of the Trustee in Argentina for all amounts due to such Agents hereunder;

Third: to Holders for amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and interest on the Notes, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest; and

Fourth: to the Company or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

The Trustee, upon written notice to the Company, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section.

Section 6.11. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted a proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and the proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to the Holder, then, subject to any determination in the proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders will be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders will continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 6.12. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit (other than the Trustee) to file an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court may assess reasonable and documented costs, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant (other than the Trustee) in the suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit instituted by the Trustee, suit by a Holder to enforce payment of principal of or interest on any Note on the respective due dates, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes.

Section 6.13. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy conferred or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders under this Indenture is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and all such rights and remedies are, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, will not prevent the concurrent assertion or exercise of any other right or remedy.

Section 6.14. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default will impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

ARTICLE 7

THE TRUSTEE

relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee is subject to this Article.

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise those rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. No provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties thereunder, or in the exercise of its rights or powers, unless it receives indemnity and/or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

Section 7.02. Certain Rights of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may rely, and will be protected in acting or refraining from acting, upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document, but, in the case of any document which is specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee pursuant to any provision hereof, the Trustee shall examine the document to determine whether it conforms to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). The Trustee, in its discretion, may make further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it sees fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine, during business hours and upon reasonable notice, the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Issuer and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel conforming to Section 10.04 and the Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the certificate or opinion.

(c) The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered and provided to the Trustee security and/or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(d) The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers or for any action it takes or omits to take in accordance with the direction of the Holders in accordance with Section 6.05 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any

remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture.

(e) The Trustee may consult with counsel, and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

(f) No provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of its rights or powers, unless it receives indemnity and/or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

(g) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes unless written notice of such Default or Event of Default shall have been given to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office by the Company or any other obligor on the Notes or by any Holder of the Notes, such notice specifically identifying this Indenture, the Company and the Notes.

(h) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each Agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. The obligations of the Agents hereunder are several and not joint.

(i) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(j) The permissive rights of the Trustee to take the actions permitted by this Indenture will not be construed as an obligation or duty to do so.

(k) the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the Company with respect to the covenants contained in Article 4 hereof. The Trustee may assume without inquiry in the absence of written notice to the contrary that the Company is duly complying with its obligations contained in this Indenture required to be performed and observed by it, and that no Default or Event of Default or other event which would require repayment of the Notes has occurred.

(l) The Trustee shall not have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance, and shall not be responsible or liable for compliance with restrictions on transfer, exchange, redemption, purchase or repurchase, as applicable, of minimum denominations imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law or regulation with respect to any transfer, exchange, redemption, purchase or repurchase, as applicable, of any interest in any Notes, but may at its sole discretion choose to do so.

(m) The Agents shall act solely as agents of the Company and not as agents of the Holders and will not thereby assume any obligations towards or relationship of agency or trust for or with any Noteholder.

Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days after the date it has acquired such conflicting interest or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights.

Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee (a) makes no representation as to the validity, sufficiency or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute this Indenture and authenticate the Notes, (b) is not accountable for the Company’s use or application of the proceeds from the Notes and (c) is not responsible for any statement in the Notes other than its certificate of authentication.

Section 7.05. Notice of Default. If any Default occurs and is continuing and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice of such Default, the Trustee will send notice of the Default to each Holder within 90 days after it occurs, unless the Default has been cured; provided that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors of the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Holders.

Section 7.06. Compensation And Indemnity. (a) The Company will pay the Trustee compensation for its services as agreed upon in writing. The compensation of the Trustee is not limited by any law on compensation of a Trustee of an express trust. The Company will reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

(b) The Company will indemnify the Trustee and Agents or their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents for, and hold them harmless against, any claim, loss, damage, or liability or expense (including reasonable and documented attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred by them without gross negligence or willful misconduct on their part (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision) arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture and their duties under this Indenture and the Notes, including reasonable documented costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or liability and of complying with any process served upon them in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties under this Indenture and the Notes.

(c) To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a senior claim with regards to such payments to that of the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee or an Agent, except money or property held in trust to pay principal of, and interest on particular Notes.

(d) The provisions of this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the termination of this Indenture.

(e) Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee and the Agents under applicable law, when the Trustee and the Agents incur expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel) after the occurrence of a Default with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee in this Section 7.06, including its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, by each agent (including the Agents), any custodian and any other Person employed with due care to act as agent hereunder.

(b) If the Trustee has been removed by the Holders, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may appoint a successor Trustee with the consent of the Company. Otherwise, if the Trustee resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company will promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If the successor Trustee does not deliver its written acceptance within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the expense of the Company), the Company or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Upon request of any successor Trustee, the Company will execute any and all instruments for fully and vesting in and confirming to the successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts. The Company will give notice of any resignation and any removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders, and include in the notice the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

Section 7.08. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or national banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or national banking association without any further act will be the successor Trustee with the same effect as if the successor Trustee had been named as the Trustee in this Indenture.

Section 7.10. Representative of the Trustee in Argentina. (a) As long as it is required by Argentine law or by the CNV Rules, the Trustee will have a representative in Argentina for the sole purpose of receiving notices from the CNV and/or the Holders.

No implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Section7.10(b), against the Representative of the Trustee in Argentina.

Section ▇.▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇ Defeasance. Upon the Company’s election of the “legal defeasance” option applicable to this Section 8.02, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, the Company will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the Notes (except for the obligations to register the transfer or exchange of Notes, replace stolen, lost or mutilated Notes, maintain paying agencies and hold moneys for payment in trust). Subject to compliance with this Section, the Company may exercise its option under this Section notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03. If the Company exercises the “legal defeasance” option, any payment on the Notes may not be accelerated due to an Event of Default with respect thereto.

Section 8.03.Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company’s election of the “covenant defeasance” option applicable to this Section 8.03, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, the Company, as applicable, need not comply with the covenants set forth in Sections 4.03 and 4.06 through 4.20, inclusive, and Section 5.01(a)(iii)(C) and (D) and clauses (d), (e), (f) and (g) of Section 6.01 will no longer constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04.Application of Trust Money. In order to exercise the options set forth in Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 above the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, outside of Argentina in trust, (1) money, (2) U.S. Government Obligations which through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount, or (3) a combination thereof, in each case, sufficient in the opinion of a certified public accounting firm delivered to the Trustee to pay and discharge the principal of, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Outstanding Notes on the dates such payments are due, in accordance with the terms of the Notes, to and including the redemption date irrevocably designated by the Company pursuant to the final sentence of this Section on the day on which payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of the Notes; and no Event of Default (including by reason of such deposit) with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or during the period ending on the 91st day after such date. The defeasance options set forth in Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 above will become effective 91 days after such deposit if and only if the Company delivers to the Trustee: (i) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect (x) that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge of certain obligations, which in the case of Section 8.02 must be based on a change in law or a ruling by the U.S. Internal

Revenue Service, and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred; and (x) that the defeasance trust is not, or is not required to be registered as, an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate as to compliance with all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the Notes. If the Company has deposited or caused to be deposited money or U.S. Government Obligations to pay or discharge the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Outstanding Notes to and including a redemption date on which all of the Outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, such redemption date shall be irrevocably designated by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company delivered to the Trustee on or prior to the date of deposit of such money or U.S. Government Obligations and such resolutions shall be accompanied by an irrevocable request from the Company that the Trustee give notice of such redemption in the name of and at expense of the Company not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to such redemption date in accordance with this Indenture.

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to this Section 8 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Notes.

Section 8.05.Repayment to Company. Subject to Section 7.06, Section 8.01, Section 8.02 or Section 8.03, the Trustee will promptly pay to the Company upon request any excess money held by the Trustee at any time and thereupon be relieved from all liability with respect to such money. The Trustee will pay to the Company upon request any money held for payment with respect to the Notes that remains unclaimed for two years, provided that before making such payment the Trustee may at the expense of the Company publish once in a newspaper of general circulation in New York City, or send to each Holder entitled to such money, notice that the money remains unclaimed and that after a date specified in the notice (at least 30 days after the date of the publication or notice) any remaining unclaimed balance of money will be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to such money must look solely to the Company for payment, unless applicable law designates another Person, and all obligations of the Trustee with respect to such money will cease.

Section 8.06.Reinstatement. If and for so long as the Trustee is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations held in trust pursuant to Section 8.01, Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or Governmental Authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes will be reinstated as though no such deposit in trust had been made. If the Company makes any payment of principal of or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, it will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of

such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held in trust.

(g) The quorum at any extraordinary meeting called to adopt a resolution will be Persons holding or representing at least 60% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding and at any reconvened adjourned extraordinary meeting will be Persons holding or representing at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding. At a meeting or a reconvened adjourned meeting duly convened and at which a quorum is present, any resolution to modify or amend, or to waive compliance with, any provision of the Notes (other than the provisions referred to in the fourth preceding paragraph) will be validly passed and decided if approved in accordance with Article IX. Any instrument given by or on behalf of any holder of a Note in connection with any consent to any such modification, amendment or waiver will be irrevocable once given and will be conclusive and binding on all subsequent holders of such Note. Any modifications, amendments or waivers to this Indenture or to the Notes with the required vote will be conclusive and binding upon all holders of Notes of such series whether or not they have given such consent or were present at any meeting, and on all Notes.

(h) The Company will designate or, in the case of any Notes issued under this Indenture, the Trustee will designate the record date for determining the Holders of Notes entitled to vote at any meeting and the Company will provide notice to Holders of Notes in the manner set forth in this Indenture. The Holder of a Note may, at any meeting of Holders of Notes at which such Holder is entitled to vote, cast one vote for each U.S.

Dollar in principal amount of the Notes held by such Holder in which such Notes are denominated.

(i) For the purposes of clarification, Holders of Notes may take such actions outside of Argentina in any other manner permitted by New York law (such as via written consent); however, no such action will be valid under Argentine law until it has been ratified by a meeting of Holders (or their representatives) held in the City of Buenos Aires in accordance with the Negotiable Obligations Law as described above. As a result, the ability of Holders to take actions under this Indenture and/or the Notes, including actions after the occurrence of a Default, will be affected by these requirements.

(j) For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee may take all actions required by it under this Section 9.04 outside of Argentina and shall not be required to attend any meeting of the Holders held in Argentina, in accordance with the Negotiable Obligations Law.

Section 9.05.Effect of Consent. (a) After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it will bind every Holder unless it is of the type requiring the consent of each Holder affected. If the amendment, supplement or waiver is of the type requiring the consent of each Holder affected, the amendment, supplement or waiver will bind each Holder that has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note that evidences the same debt as the Note of the consenting Holder.

(b) If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee so that the Trustee may place an appropriate notation of the changed terms on the Note and return it to the Holder, or exchange it for a new Note that reflects the changed terms. The Trustee may also place an appropriate notation on any Note thereafter authenticated. However, the effectiveness of the amendment, supplement or waiver is not affected by any failure to annotate or exchange Notes in this fashion.

Section 9.06.Trustee’s Rights and Obligations. The Trustee is entitled to receive, and will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 10.03, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and binding and enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. If the Trustee has received such Officer’s Certificate and such Opinion of Counsel, it shall sign the amendment, supplement or waiver so long as the same does not adversely affect the rights, duties or immunities of the Trustee. The Trustee may, but is not obligated to, execute any amendment, supplement or waiver that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture.

Section 9.07.Amendments. Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any supplement, amendment or waiver to this Indenture, the Company will give notice thereof to the Holders of the Notes (or cause the Trustee to give notice thereof to the Holders of the Notes), to the CNV, the ▇▇▇▇ and the MAE, setting forth

in general terms the substance of such supplement, amendment or waiver. If the Company fails to give such notice to the Holders of the Notes within fifteen (15) days after the execution of such supplement, amendment or waiver, the Trustee will give notice to the Holders at the Company’s expense. Any failure by the Company or the Trustee to give such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplement, amendment or waiver. In the event that the Notes are listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for trading on the Euro MTF Market or listed on any other securities exchange, such meetings of Holders and notices thereof will also comply with the applicable rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or such other securities exchange, as applicable.

ARTICLE 10

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.01.Noteholder Actions. (a) (i) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent to amendment, supplement or waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by a Holder (as used in this Section, an “act”) may be evidenced by an instrument signed by the Holder delivered to the Trustee. The fact and date of the execution of the instrument, or the authority of the person executing it, may be proved in any manner that the Trustee deems sufficient.

(ii) Subject to compliance with Section 9.04, the Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of Holders, which will be binding on all the Holders.

(b) Any act by the Holder of any Note binds that Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note that evidences the same debt as the Note of the acting Holder, even if no notation thereof appears on the Note. Subject to clause (c), a Holder may revoke an act as to its Notes, but only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver or other consequence of the act becomes effective.

(c) Subject to compliance with Section 9.04, the Company may, but is not obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to act with respect to any amendment or waiver or in any other regard, except that during the continuance of an Event of Default, only the Trustee may set a record date as to notices of Default, any declaration or acceleration or any other remedies or other consequences of the Event of Default. If a record date is fixed, those Persons that were Holders at such record date and only those Persons will be entitled to act, or to revoke any previous act, whether or not those Persons continue to be Holders after the record date. No act will be valid or effective for more than 90 days after the record date.

Section 10.02.Notices. (a) Any notice or communication to the Company will be deemed given if in writing (i) when delivered in person or (ii) when mailed by first class mail, (iii) when sent by facsimile transmission, with transmission confirmed or (iv) when published or, if published on different dates, on the date of the first such publication. Any notice to the Trustee shall be in writing in English and will be effective only upon receipt. Any obligation of the Trustee or any Agent to provide

The Company or the Trustee by notice to the other may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided with respect to published notices, any notice or communication to a Holder will be deemed given on the date of mailing or of publication as aforesaid or, if published on different dates, on the date of the first such publication, at its address as it appears on the Register by first class mail or, as to any Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, as agreed by the Company, the Trustee and DTC. Copies of any notice or communication to a Holder, if given by the Company, will be mailed to the Trustee at the same time. Defect in mailing a notice or communication to any particular Holder will not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders.

(c) For so long as any Notes are listed on the ▇▇▇▇ and traded on the MAE, the Company will publish all notices to Holders in the Bulletin of the BCBA in ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇

▇▇

▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, as provided by the ▇▇▇▇ rules from time to time, in the online bulletin of the MAE, and in a widely circulated newspaper in Argentina.

(d) In the event that the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, for so long as any Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of such exchange so require, the Company will publish all notices to Holders in English in a leading newspaper having a general circulation in Luxembourg (which as of the date hereof is expected to be the Luxembourger Wort); or if such Luxembourg publication is not practicable, the Company may publish notices to Holders via the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇, provided that such method of publication satisfies the rules of such exchange.

(e) The Company shall also cause all such other publications of such notices as may be required from time to time in any manner by the provisions of the Negotiable Obligations Law, the Argentine Capital Markets Law, the CNV Rules and by any applicable Argentine law (including without limitation publishing notices at the official site of the CNV (▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇)).

(f) Where this Indenture provides for notice, the notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and the waiver will be the equivalent of the notice. Waivers of notice by Holders must be filed with the Trustee, but such filing is not a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waivers.

(g) The Trustee shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant to this Indenture and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that the Company shall provide to the Trustee an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions (“Authorized Officers”) and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Company whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Company elects to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Company understands and agrees that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Company shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Company and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Company. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized Instructions,

and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Trustee and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Company; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Trustee immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.

Section 10.03.Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent. (a) Upon any request or application by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under this Indenture, the Company will furnish to the Trustee:

(1) an Officers’ Certificate stating that, in the opinion of the signers, all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with; and

(2) an Opinion of Counsel stating that all such conditions precedent have been complied with.

(b) In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an Opinion of Counsel of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the Opinion of Counsel of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an Opinion of Counsel with respect to some matters and one or more such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an Opinion of Counsel as to such matters in one or several documents.

(c) Any Officers’ Certificate of the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon an Opinion of Counsel or representation of counsel, unless such Officer knows that such Opinion of Counsel or representation with respect to the matters upon which his certificate is based are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may be based, and may state that it is so based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Company stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Any certificate of an Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, and may state that it is so based, insofar as it relates to accounting matters, upon a certificate, opinion of or representations by an accountant or firm of accountants in the employ of the Company, unless the Officer or such counsel, as the case may be, knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate, opinion or representations with respect to the accounting matters upon which such certificate of an Officer or Opinion of Counsel is based are erroneous. Any certificate or opinion of any independent firm of public accountants filed with the Trustee shall contain a statement that such firm is independent.

(d) Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Section 10.04.Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion. Each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture must include:

(a) a statement that each person signing the certificate or opinion has read the covenant or condition and the related definitions;

(b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statement or opinion contained in the certificate or opinion is based;

(c) a statement that, in the opinion of each such person, that person has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable the person to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

(d) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of each such person, such condition or covenant has been complied with, provided that an Opinion of Counsel may rely on an Officer’s Certificate or certificates of public officials with respect to matters of fact.

Section 10.05.Payment Date Other Than A Business Day. If any payment with respect to a payment of any principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note (including any payment to be made on any date fixed for redemption or purchase of any Note and including Additional Amounts) is due on a day which is not a Business Day, then the payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such date, and no interest will accrue for the intervening period.

Section 10.06.Governing Law, Etc. (a) Each of this Indenture and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, provided that the Negotiable Obligations Law governs the requirements for the Notes to qualify as obligaciones negociables thereunder while such law, together with Argentine Corporations Law No. 19,550 as amended, the Argentine Capital Markets Law, the CNV Rules and other applicable Argentine laws and regulations, govern the capacity and corporate authorization of the Company to execute and deliver the Notes, the authorization of the CNV for the public offering of the Notes in Argentina and certain matters in relation to meetings of Holders.

(b) Each of the parties hereto:

(i) agrees that any suit, action or proceeding against it arising out of or relating to this Indenture or the Notes, as the case may be, may be instituted in any

U.S. federal or New York state court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, New York (the “Specified Courts”),

(ii) irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Specified Courts in any suit, action or proceeding,

(iii) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which it may have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that any suit, action or proceeding in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and any right to the jurisdiction of any other courts to which it may be entitled on account of place of residence or domicile,

(iv) agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court shall be conclusive and binding and may be enforced in the courts of the jurisdiction of which it is subject by a suit upon judgment; provided that service of process is effected upon the Company in the manner provided by this Indenture, and

(v) 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 Notes.

(c) As long as any of the Notes remain Outstanding, the Company will at all times have an authorized agent in New York City (the “Authorized Agent”), upon whom process may be served in any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Indenture or any Note. Service of process upon such agent and written notice of such service mailed or delivered to the Company shall to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company in any such legal action or proceeding. The Company hereby appoints CT Corporation System as its agent for such purpose, and covenants and agrees that service of process in any suit, action or proceeding may be made upon it at the office of such agent at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, with prior written notice to the Trustee, terminate the appointment of CT Corporation System and appoint another agent for the above purposes so that the Company shall at all times have an agent for the above purposes in New York City.

(d) To the extent that the Company or any of its properties, assets or revenues may have or hereafter become entitled to, in any jurisdiction in which any Specified Court is vested, or have attributed to the Company, any right of immunity, on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise, from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from the giving of any relief in any such legal action, suit or proceeding, from setoff or from counterclaim, from service of process, from attachment upon or prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution of judgment, or from execution of judgment, in any Specified Court in which proceedings may at any time be commenced, with respect to the obligations and liabilities of the Company, or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with, the Notes or this Indenture, the Company irrevocably and unconditionally waives or shall waive such right, and agrees not to plead or claim any such immunity and consent to

such relief and enforcement; provided that if the Argentine courts determine that any of the Company’s properties located in Argentina is necessary for the provision of an essential public services, such property might not be subject to attachment, whether preliminary or in aid of execution.

Section 10.07.Currency Indemnity. (a) U.S. Dollars is the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Company and under or in connection with the Notes or this Indenture. The Company’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture to the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes to make payment in U.S. Dollars shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any other currency (in this Section, the “Judgment Currency”) or in another place except to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency the payee may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase U.S. Dollars in the amount originally due with the Judgment Currency. If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due under the Notes and this Indenture in U.S. Dollars into a Judgment Currency, the rate of exchange shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, such payee could purchase such U.S. Dollars in New York, New York with the Judgment Currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which such judgment is rendered. The Company’s obligation in respect of any such sum due under the Notes and this Indenture shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the relevant payee of any sum adjudged to be due under the Notes and this Indenture in the Judgment Currency the relevant payee may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase and transfer U.S. Dollars to New York City with the amount of the Judgment Currency so adjudged to be due (giving effect to any set-off or counterclaim taken into account in rendering such judgment). Accordingly, the Company, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify each of the Holders of the Notes and the Trustee against, and to pay on demand, in U.S. Dollars, the amount by which the sum originally due to the Holders of the Notes or the Trustee in U.S. Dollars under the Notes and this Indenture exceeds the amount of the U.S. Dollars so purchased and transferred.

(b) The Company agrees that, notwithstanding any restriction or prohibition on access to the MULC in Argentina, any and all payments to be made under the Notes and this Indenture shall be made in U.S. Dollars. Nothing in the Notes and this Indenture shall impair any of the rights of the Holders of the Notes or the Trustee or justify the Company in refusing to make payments under the Notes and this Indenture in U.S. Dollars for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, any of the following: (i) the purchase of U.S. Dollars in Argentina by any means becoming more onerous or burdensome for the Company than as of the date of this Indenture and (ii) the exchange rate in force in Argentina increasing significantly from that in effect as of the date of this Indenture. The Company waives the right to invoke any defense of payment impossibility (including any defense under Section 1091 of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code), impossibility of paying in U.S. Dollars (assuming liability for any force majeure

or act of God), or similar defenses or principles (including, without limitation, equity or sharing of efforts principles).

(c) In the event that, on any payment date in respect of the Notes, any restriction (including de facto restrictions) or prohibition to access the MULC in Argentina exists, the Company shall seek to pay all amounts payable under the Notes in U.S. Dollars either (i) by purchasing at market price securities of any series of U.S. Dollar-denominated Argentine sovereign bonds or any other securities or private or public bonds issued in Argentina, and transferring and selling such instruments outside Argentina for U.S. Dollars, to the extent permitted by applicable law, or (ii) by any other reasonable means permitted by Argentine law, in each case, on such payment date. All costs and taxes payable in connection with such procedures referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph (c) shall be borne by the Company.

Section ▇▇.▇▇.▇▇ Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. This Indenture may not be used to interpret another indenture or loan or debt agreement of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, and no such indenture or loan or debt agreement may be used to interpret this Indenture.

Section 10.09.Successors. All agreements of the Company in this Indenture and the Notes will bind its successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture will bind its successor.

Section 10.10.Counterparts. The parties may sign this Indenture in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 10.11.Separability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 10.12.Table of Contents and Headings. The Table of Contents and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part of this Indenture and in no way modify or restrict any of the terms and provisions of this Indenture.

Section ▇▇.▇▇.▇▇ Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees, Incorporators, Members or Stockholders. Except as specifically provided under Argentine law, no director, officer, employee, incorporator, member or stockholder of the Company, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. This waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the Article 34 of the Negotiable Obligations Law, Article 54 of the General Corporations Law, Sections 119 and 120 of the Argentine Capital Markets Law and other applicable Argentine regulations, or under federal securities laws and it is the view of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that such a waiver is against public policy.

Section 10.14.Patriot Act. In order to comply with the laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including, without limitation, those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering, including Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act of the United States (as used in this Section 10.14, “Applicable Law”), the Trustee and the applicable Agents are required to obtain, verify, record and update certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Trustee and/or the Agents, as applicable. Accordingly, each of the parties agree to provide to the Trustee and the applicable Agents upon its request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Trustee and the Agents to comply with Applicable Law.

Section 10.15.Force Majeure. Each of the Trustee and the Agents shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond their own control that could not have reasonably been avoided or overcome (including but not limited to any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or Governmental Authority restricting or prohibiting the performance of obligations contemplated by this Indenture, any act of God or war, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, any act of terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility).

Section 10.16.Waiver of Trial by Jury. Each of the Company, the Holders and the Trustee 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.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed as of the date first written above.

This is one of the Notes issued under the Indenture. Capitalized terms used herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise indicated. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of all such terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Note and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture will control.

The Notes are: (a) general, unsecured obligations of the Company; (b) rank equal in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated obligations of the Company (except those obligations preferred by operation of Argentine law, including without limitation labor and tax claims); (c) rank senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company, if any (d) effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured obligations of the Company, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such obligations; and (e) not guaranteed by any Subsidiary and therefore are effectively subordinated to all existing and future obligations of the Subsidiaries. The Indenture limits the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes to U.S.$400,000,000, but Additional Notes may be issued pursuant to the Indenture, and the originally issued Notes and all such Additional Notes vote together for all purposes as a single class.

3. Redemption and Repurchase.

A Holder may register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Trustee may require a Holder to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. Pursuant to the Indenture, there are certain periods during which the Trustee will not be required to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note or certain portions of a Note.

Without notice to or the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision in the Indenture which may be inconsistent with any other provision therein, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Indenture which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture; provided such actions shall not adversely affect the interest of the Holders.

7. Authentication.

This Note is not valid until the Trustee (or Authenticating Agent) signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.

8. Governing Law, Consent to Jurisdiction, Currency Conversion and Service of Process.

The Company submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the New York State and U.S. federal courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City (the “Specified Courts”) with respect to any action that may be brought in connection with the Notes and has appointed CT Corporation System as agent for service of process. The Company hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which it may have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that any suit, action or proceeding in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and any right to the jurisdiction of any other courts to which it may be entitled on account of place of residence or domicile. Each of the Company, the Holders and the Trustee 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 Note.

If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder to the Holder of a Note from U.S. dollars into another currency, the Company has agreed, and each Holder by holding such Note will be deemed to have agreed, to the fullest extent that the Company may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used will be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures such holder could purchase U.S. dollars with such other currency in New York City, New York on the day that is two Business Days preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

9. Waiver of Immunity.

To the extent that the Company or any of its properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled to, in any jurisdiction in which any Specified Court is vested, or have attributed to the Company, any right of immunity, on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise, from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from the giving of any relief in any such legal action, suit or proceeding, from setoff or from counterclaim, from service of process, from attachment upon or prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution of judgment, or from execution of judgment in any Specified Court in which proceedings may at any time be

commenced, with respect to the obligations and liabilities of the Company, or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with, the Notes, the Company irrevocably and unconditionally waives or will waive such right, and agrees not to plead or claim any such immunity and consents to such relief and enforcement; provided that if the Argentine courts determine that any of the Company’s properties located in Argentina is necessary for the provision of an essential public service, such property might not be subject to attachment, whether preliminarily or in aid of execution.

Dear Sirs:

Reference is hereby made to the Indenture, dated as of July 18, 2019 (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”) among TELECOM ARGENTINA S.A., a sociedad anónima under the laws of Argentina, (the “Company”), Citibank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), paying agent (the “Paying Agent”), registrar and transfer agent (the “Registrar and Transfer Agent”) and Citibank, N.A.

This letter relates to U.S.$_________ principal amount of Notes which are evidenced by one or more Restricted Global Notes (CUSIP No. 879273 AR1) and held with the Depositary in the name of [insert name of transferor] (the “Transferor”).

In connection with our proposed sale of U.S.$__________aggregate principal amount of the Notes, we hereby confirm that such sale has been effected pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 903 or Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, accordingly, we represent that:

at the time the buy order was originated, the transferee was outside the United States or we and any person acting on our behalf reasonably believed that the transferee was outside the United States; or

(B)

the transaction was executed in, on or through the facilities of a designated offshore securities market and neither we nor any person acting on our behalf knows that the transaction was pre-arranged with a buyer in the United States;

(3)

no directed selling efforts have been made by us in the United States in contravention of the requirements of Rule 903(b) or Rule 904(b) of Regulation S, as applicable;

(4)

the transaction is not part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933; and
