Exhibit 4.2
 
WARRANT AGENT AGREEMENT
 
This Warrant Agent Agreement (the “Warrant Agent Agreement”) made as of February 24, 2021, is between Cresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial Inmobiliaria Financiera y Agropecuaria (“Cresud”), an Argentine company, (the “Company”), an Argentine company, and Computershare, Inc. and Computershare Trust Company N.A., as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”).
 
WHEREAS, the Company has determined to issue and deliver to shareholders, among other securities, warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 90,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Warrant Shares”), pursuant to a registered offering by the Company of rights to subscribe for new common shares and receive warrants, as set forth in registration statements on Form F-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 5, 2021 and February 12, 2021 (the “Registration Statements”). Each Warrant evidences the right of the holder thereof to purchase, for an exercise price to be determined, one Warrant Share, as subject to adjustment as described below and in the Warrant Certificate (the “Exercise Price”);
 
WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing to so act, in connection with the issuance, registration, transfer, exchange, redemption and exercise of the Warrants;
 
WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide for the form and provisions of the Warrants, the terms upon which they shall be issued and exercised, and the respective rights, limitation of rights and immunities of the Company, the Warrant Agent and the holders of the Warrants; and
 
WHEREAS, all acts and things have been done and performed which are necessary to make the Warrants, when executed on behalf of the Company and countersigned by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent, as provided herein, the legally valid and binding obligations of the Company, and to authorize the execution and delivery of this Warrant Agent Agreement.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
1. Appointment of Warrant Agent
 
. The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company for the Warrants, and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the same in accordance with the express terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant Agent Agreement (and no implied terms or conditions).
 
2. Warrants

2.1 Form of Warrant. Each Warrant shall be (a) issued in book-entry form and evidenced by a global warrant certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (including the DTC legend hereon) or(b) in registered form as non-global definitive warrant certificates, in substantially the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (but excluding the DTC legend hereon), the provisions of which are incorporated herein, and signed by, or bear the facsimile or .pdf signature of, any two of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer of the Company and such other officers of the Company as the Company may designate (each an “Authorized Signatory” and, collectively, the “Authorized Signatories”). In the event the person whose facsimile or .pdf signature has been placed upon any Warrant shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such person signed the Warrant before such Warrant is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance. All of the Warrants shall initially be represented by one or more book-entry positions and evidenced by a global warrant certificate (the “Global Book-Entry Warrant”). In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Warrant, in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, and the terms of this Warrant Agency Agreement, the terms of the Warrant shall control; provided, that, with respect to the powers, rights, duties, obligations and immunities of the Warrant Agent, this Warrant Agency Agreement shall govern and control.
 
2.2 Registration.
 
2.2.1 Warrant Register. The Warrant Agent shall maintain books (“Warrant Register”) for the registration of the original issuance and registration of transfers of the Warrants. Upon the initial issuance of the Warrants, at the Company’s written request, the Warrant Agent shall issue and register the Warrants in the names of the respective holders thereof in such denominations and otherwise in accordance with the written instructions delivered to the Warrant Agent by the Company. To the extent the Warrants are DTC eligible as of the date of issuance (the “Issuance Date”), all of the Warrants shall be represented by one Global Book-Entry Warrant deposited with the Depository Trust Company (the “Depository”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., a nominee of the Depository. Ownership of beneficial interests in the Book-Entry Warrant shall be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership shall be effected through, records maintained (i) by the Depository or its nominee for the Book Entry Warrant; (ii) by institutions that have accounts with the Depository (such institution, with respect to a Warrant in its account, a “Participant”); or (iii) directly on the book-entry records of the Warrant Agent with respect only to owners of beneficial interests that represent such direct registration. If the Warrants are not DTC Eligible as of the Issuance Date or the Depository subsequently ceases to make its book-entry settlement system available for the Warrants, the Company may instruct the Warrant Agent in writing regarding making other arrangements for book-entry settlement within ten (10) days after the Depository ceases to make its book-entry settlement available. In the event that the Company does not make alternative arrangements for book-entry settlement within ten (10) days or the Warrants are not eligible for, or it is no longer necessary to have the Warrants available in, book-entry form, the Warrant Agent shall provide written instructions to the Depository to deliver to the Warrant Agent for cancellation each Book-Entry Warrant, and the Company shall instruct the Warrant Agent to deliver to the Depository definitive certificates in physical form evidencing such Warrants in substantially the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A (but excluding the DTC legend thereon).

2.2.2 Registered Holder. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name such Warrant shall be registered in the Warrant Register (“Registered Holder”), as the absolute owner of such Warrant and of each Warrant represented thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on the Warrant Certificate (as defined below) made by anyone other than the Company or the Warrant Agent), for the purpose of any exercise thereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Any person in whose name ownership of a beneficial interest in the Warrants evidenced by a Book-Entry Warrant is recorded in the records maintained by the Depository or its nominee shall be deemed the “beneficial owner” thereof.
 
2.2.3 Notwithstanding anything contained herein, a Registered Holder or if the Book Entry Warrants are deposited with the Depositary, the beneficial owner, has the right, upon written notice to the Warrant Agent (in form and substance acceptable to the Warrant Agent), to request a physical warrant certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit A, attached hereto, for the same number of Warrants as are registered in the name of such Registered Holder or beneficial owner, as applicable, in the records maintained by the Warrant Agent (a “Warrant Certificate”). Such Warrant Certificate shall be dated the original issue date of the Warrants and shall be executed by an Authorized Signatory. The Warrant Agent shall deliver the Warrant Certificate to the Registered Holder as promptly as practicable. To the extent that the Company requests that the Warrant Agent delivers a Warrant Certificate to a Registered Holder or beneficial owner, as applicable, prior to the closing date of the transactions under the Registration Statements, then the Warrant Agent shall deliver such Warrant Certificate as promptly as practicable following the receipt of such request.
 
2.3 Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.
 
2.3.1 Transfer and Exchange of Warrant Certificates. When Warrant Certificates are presented to the Warrant Agent with a request: (i) to register the transfer of the Warrant Certificates; or (ii) to exchange such Warrant Certificates for an equal number of Warrant Certificates of other authorized denominations, the Warrant Agent shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if the requirements under this Agreement as set forth in this Section 2.3 for such transactions are met; provided, however, that the Warrant Certificates presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in the form of Exhibit B hereto and satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the Holder thereof or by his attorney, duly authorized in writing, accompanied by a signature guarantee and such other documentation as the Warrant Agent may reasonably request.

2.3.2 Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Warrant for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Book-Entry Warrant. A Definitive Warrant may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Book-Entry Warrant except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of a Definitive Warrant, duly endorsed or accompanied by the instrument of transfer, attached hereto as Exhibit B in form satisfactory to the Company, together with written instructions directing the Warrant Agent to make, or to direct the Depositary to make, an endorsement on the Global Book-Entry Warrant to reflect an increase in the aggregate amount of the Warrants represented by the Global Book-Entry Warrant, the Warrant Agent shall cancel such Definitive Warrant and cause, or direct the Depositary to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Warrant Agent, the number of Warrants represented by the Global Book-Entry Warrant to be increased accordingly. If no Global Book-Entry Warrant is then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Warrant Agent shall countersign a new Global Book-Entry Warrant in the appropriate amount.
 
2.3.3 Transfer and Exchange of Global Book-Entry Warrants. The transfer and exchange of Global Book-Entry Warrants or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with this Agreement (including the restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.
 
2.3.4 Transfer of a Beneficial Interest in a Global Book-Entry Warrant for a Definitive Warrant.
 
(a) Any Person having a beneficial interest in a Global Book-Entry Warrant may upon written request exchange such beneficial interest for a Definitive Warrant. Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of written instructions or such other form of instructions as is customary for the Depositary from the Depositary or its nominee on behalf of any Person having a beneficial interest in a Global Book-Entry Warrant and upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of a written order or such other form of instructions as is customary for the Depositary or the Person designated by the Depositary as having such a beneficial interest containing registration instructions, the Warrant Agent will cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Warrant Agent, the aggregate amount of the Global Book-Entry Warrant to be reduced and, following such reduction, the Company will execute and, upon receipt of a countersignature order in the form of an Officers’ Certificate, the Warrant Agent will authenticate and deliver to the transferee a Definitive Warrant.
 
(b) Warrant Certificates issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Global Book-Entry Warrant pursuant to this Section 2.3.4(b) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Warrant Agent in writing. The Warrant Agent shall make available such Warrant Certificates to the Persons in whose names such Warrants are so registered.

2.3.5 Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange of Global Book-Entry Warrants. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.3.6), a Global Book-Entry Warrant may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.
 
2.3.6 Countersignature of Warrant Certificates in Absence of Depositary. If at any time:
 
(a) the Depositary for the Warrants notifies the Company that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Book-Entry Warrant and a successor Depositary for the Global Book-Entry Warrant is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after delivery of such notice; or
 
(b) the Company, at its sole discretion, notifies the Warrant Agent in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Warrant Certificates in place of the Global Book-Entry Warrant under this Agreement;
 
then the Company will execute, and the Warrant Agent, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate requesting the countersignature and delivery of Warrant Certificates, will authenticate and deliver Warrant Certificates, in an aggregate number equal to the aggregate number of Warrants represented by the Global Book-Entry Warrant, in exchange for such Global Book-Entry Warrant.
 
2.3.7 Cancellation and/or Adjustment of a Global Book-Entry Warrant. At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Book-Entry Warrant have either been exchanged for Warrant Certificates, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled, such Global Book-Entry Warrant shall be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Warrant Agent. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Book-Entry Warrant is exchanged for Warrant Certificates, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled, the number of Warrants represented by such Global Book-Entry Warrant shall be reduced and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Book-Entry Warrant, by the Warrant Agent to reflect such reduction.
 
2.3.8 Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Warrant Certificates.
 
(a) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall deliver to the Warrant Agent, upon execution of this Agreement and from time to time thereafter, sufficient inventory of executed Warrant Certificates and Global Book-Entry Warrants.
 
(b) All Warrant Certificates and Global Book-Entry Warrants issued upon any registration, transfer or exchange of Warrant Certificates or Global Book-Entry Warrants shall be the valid obligations of the Company, entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Warrant Certificates or Global Book-Entry Warrants surrendered upon the registration of transfer or exchange.

(c) Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Warrant Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Warrant is registered as the absolute owner of such Warrant, and neither the Warrant Agent nor the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

3. Exercise of Warrants
 
. Subject to the provisions of the Warrants and this Warrant Agent Agreement, a Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder thereof by delivering to the office of the Warrant Agent, or at the office of its successor as Warrant Agent, the Warrant, the notice of exercise, as set forth in the Warrant, duly executed and properly completed, and by paying in full, in lawful money of the United States by wire transfer to the Warrant Agent (or, if available, pursuant to the cashless exercise feature as set forth in such Warrant, all cashless exercises should be directed to the Company for calculation of the applicable number of Warrant Shares issuable upon such cashless exercise and upon completion of such calculation by the Company, the Company shall provide the Warrant Agent with written issuance instructions), the Exercise Price for each full Warrant Share as to which the Warrant is exercised and the issuance of the Warrant Shares by the Warrant Agent as set forth in the applicable Warrant. In no event shall the Registered Holder of any Warrant be entitled to “net cash settle” the Warrant. The Warrant Agent will transmit to the Company the funds received from the Registered Holders for the exercise of the Warrants by the 5th business day of the month following the acceptance of such funds. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required; provided, however, that in the case of Notice of Exercise that involves transfer of ownership, (for purposes of clarity, transfer of ownership shall not include issuance of Warrant Shares to Registered Holder of the Warrants), or change in the name of the registered holder, the Warrant Agent may reasonably request such other documentations to accompany the Notice of Exercise, including a medallion guarantee from an eligible guarantor institution participating in a signature guarantee program approved by the Securities Transfer Association (a “Signature Guarantee”). If payment in U.S. dollars as provided in this Section 3 is legally prevented in Argentina, Registered Holders of Warrants will be entitled to pay the Exercise Price directly to the Company, in Argentine Pesos in an amount equal to the Argentine Peso equivalent of the U.S. dollar Exercise Price of the Warrants determined on the Blue Chip Swap Rate on the business day preceding the payment date of the Exercise Price of the Warrants. For purposes of this agreement, “Blue Chip Swap Rate” shall mean the implied exchange rate between Pesos and U.S. dollars that results from dividing the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange as of a certain date by the closing price of the Company’s ADSs on Nasdaq as of that same date, further divided by ten. The Warrant Agent shall have no liability or responsibility with respect to the determination of the exchange rate for the Exercise Price payable in Argentine Pesos or whether any such amounts have been paid.

4. Concerning the Warrant Agent and Other Matters
 
4.1 Payment of Taxes. The Company will, from time to time, promptly pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company or the Warrant Agent in respect of the issuance or delivery of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants, but the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in respect of the Warrants or such shares. The Warrant Agent shall not have any duty or obligation to take any action under any section of this Warrant Agent Agreement or any Warrant Certificate that requires the payment of taxes and/or charges unless and until it is satisfied that all such payments have been made.
 
4.2 Resignation, Consolidation, or Merger of Warrant Agent.
 
4.2.1 Appointment of Successor Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may resign its duties, and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder after giving thirty (30) days’ notice in writing to the Company. In the event any transfer agency relationship in effect between the Company and the Warrant Agent terminates, the Warrant Agent will be deemed to have resigned automatically and be discharged from its duties under this Warrant Agent Agreement as of the effective date of such termination. If the office of the Warrant Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall appoint, in writing, a successor Warrant Agent in place of the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the Warrant Agent or by the holder of the Warrant (who shall, with such notice, submit his, her or its Warrant for inspection by the Company), then the holder of any Warrant may apply to the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York for the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent. Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such court, shall be a corporation or other entity organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York, in good standing and have its principal office in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, and be authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust power and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. After appointment, any successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations of its predecessor Warrant Agent with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed; but, if for any reason it becomes· necessary or appropriate, the predecessor Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company and without assumption of any additional liability in connection therewith, an instrument transferring to such successor Warrant Agent all the authority, powers, and rights of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and, upon request of any successor Warrant Agent, the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations.
 
4.2.2 Notice of Successor Warrant Agent. In the event a successor Warrant Agent shall be appointed, the Company shall give notice thereof to the predecessor Warrant Agent and the transfer agent for the Warrant Shares not later than the effective date of any such appointment.

4.2.3 Merger or Consolidation of Warrant Agent. Any corporation or other entity into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party shall be the successor Warrant Agent under this Warrant Agent Agreement without any further act on the part of the Company or the Warrant Agent. The purchase of all or substantially all of the Warrant Agent’s assets employed in the performance of the corporate trust or transfer agent activities shall be deemed a merger or consolidation for purposes of this Section 4.2.3.
 
4.3 Fees and Expenses of Warrant Agent.

The Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent reasonable remuneration for its services as Warrant Agent hereunder in accordance with a mutually agreed upon fee schedule and will reimburse the Warrant Agent upon demand for all of its reasonable and documented expenses and counsel fees and other disbursements incurred in the preparation, delivery, negotiation, amendment, administration and execution of this Warrant Agent Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder.
 
4.3.2 Further Assurances. The Company agrees to perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered, all such further and other acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Warrant Agent for the carrying out or performing of the provisions of this Warrant Agent Agreement.
 
4.4 Liability of Warrant Agent.
 
4.4.1 Reliance on Company Statement. Whenever, in the performance of its duties under this Warrant Agent Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a statement signed by an Authorized Signatory, and delivered to the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may rely upon such statement for any action taken or suffered by it pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant Agent Agreement. From time to time, Company may provide Warrant Agent with instructions concerning the services performed by the Warrant Agent hereunder. In addition, at any time Warrant Agent may apply to any officer of Company for instruction, and may consult with legal counsel for Warrant Agent or Company with respect to any matter arising in connection with the services to be performed by the Warrant Agent under this Agreement. Warrant Agent and its agents and subcontractors shall not be liable and shall be indemnified by Company for any action taken or omitted by Warrant Agent in reliance upon any Company instructions or upon the advice or opinion of such counsel.

4.4.2 Indemnity. The Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith (each as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in final and non-appealable decision).

The costs and expenses incurred in enforcing this right of indemnification shall be paid by the Company.
 
4.4.3 Exclusions. The Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the validity of this Warrant Agent Agreement or with respect to the validity or execution of any Warrant (except its countersignature thereof). The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Warrant Agency Agreement or in the Warrant (except its countersignature thereof) or be required to verify the same, and all such statements and recitals are and shall be deemed to have been made by the Company only; nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Warrant Agent Agreement or in any Warrant; nor shall it be responsible to make any adjustments required under the adjustment provisions contained in the Warrants or responsible for the manner, method or amount of any such adjustment or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such adjustment; nor shall it, by any act hereunder, be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any Warrant Shares to be issued pursuant to this Warrant Agent Agreement or any Warrant or as to whether any Warrant Shares will, when issued, be valid, fully paid and nonassessable.
 
4.4.4 Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Warrant Agent’s aggregate liability during any term of this Warrant Agent Agreement with respect to, arising from, or arising in connection with this Warrant Agent Agreement, or from all services provided or omitted to be provided under this Warrant Agent Agreement, whether in contract, or in tort, or otherwise, is limited to, and shall not exceed, the amounts paid hereunder by the Company to the Warrant Agent as fees and charges, but not including reimbursable expenses, during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event for which recovery from Warrant Agent is being sought. Neither party to this Warrant Agent Agreement shall be liable to the other party for any consequential, indirect, special or incidental damages under any provisions of this Warrant Agent Agreement or for any consequential, indirect, punitive, special or incidental damages arising out of any act or failure to act hereunder even if that party has been advised of or has foreseen the possibility of such damages.

5. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares Issuable
 
. If any corporate restructuring or action regarding the Company’s Common Stock is approved other than those mentioned in this Section 5 and which may have an impact on or represent a reduction of rights to the Holders of the Warrants, the Company will use its best efforts to negotiate with the Holders of the Warrants to set forth new exercise conditions, seeking to preserve the rights originally granted to the Warrants, their economic and corporate value, the amount of underlying shares and their Exercise Price. The Company shall promptly prepare a certificate setting forth such any adjustment in the Exercise Price and a brief, reasonably detailed statement of the facts and computations accounting for such adjustment, and promptly file with the Warrant Agent, a copy of such certificate. The Rights Agent shall be fully protected in relying on any such certificate and on any adjustment therein contained and shall have no duty or liability with respect to, and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of, such adjustment unless and until it shall have received such certificate. The number and kind of shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
 
 
 
11
 
 
 
5.1 Stock Splits, Combinations, etc. In case the Company shall hereafter (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its Capital Stock (whether shares of Common Stock or of Capital Stock of any other class), (B) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock or (C) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then (i) the number of shares of Capital Stock purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant immediately after the happening of such event shall be adjusted so that, after giving effect to such adjustment, the Holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Capital Stock of the Company which such Holder would have owned immediately following such action had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto, and (ii) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such action, shall be decreased to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph, the Holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company (whose determination shall be conclusive) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Exercise Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stock.

5.2 Reclassification, Combinations, Mergers, etc. In case of any reclassification or change of outstanding shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (other than as set forth in paragraph (a) above and other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock or other Capital Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value or as a result of a subdivision or combination)) or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, then, as a condition of such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, the Company or such a successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall forthwith make lawful and adequate provision whereby the Holder of such Warrant then outstanding shall have the right thereafter to receive on exercise of such Warrant the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and enter into a supplemental warrant agreement so providing. Such provisions shall include provision for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 5. If the issuer of securities deliverable upon exercise of Warrants under the supplemental warrant agreement is an Affiliate of the formed, surviving or transferee corporation, that issuer shall join in the supplemental warrant agreement. The above provisions of this paragraph (b) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications and changes of shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances. In case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Agreement to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of shares of the Common Stock for which a Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 5. For purposes of this Section 5.2 “shares of stock and other securities” of a successor or acquiring corporation shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any Warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5.2 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or disposition of assets.

5.3 Issuance of Options or Convertible Securities. In the event the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, issue, sell, distribute or otherwise grant in any manner (including by assumption) to all holders of the Common Stock any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any warrants or options for the purchase of, Common Stock or any stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (any such rights, warrants or options being herein called “Options” and any such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being herein called “Convertible Securities”) or any Convertible Securities (other than upon exercise of any Option), whether or not such Options or the rights to convert or exchange such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share at which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities (determined by dividing (i) the aggregate amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance, sale, distribution or granting of such Options or any such Convertible Security, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options or upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, plus, in the case of Options to acquire Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities or upon the conversion or exchange of all Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of all such Options) shall be less than the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock (determined pursuant to Section 5.7) on the record date for the issuance, sale, distribution or granting of such Options (any such event being herein called a “Distribution”) then, effective upon such Distribution, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to the price (calculated to the nearest 1/1,000 of one cent) determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (exclusive of any treasury shares) immediately prior to such Distribution multiplied by the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date of such Distribution plus (ii) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such Distribution, and the denominator of which shall be the product of (A) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (exclusive of any treasury shares) immediately after such Distribution multiplied by (B) the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the record date for such Distribution. For purposes of the foregoing, the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all such Options or upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities or upon the conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of the Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of all such Options shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such Distribution and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding and the Company shall be deemed to have received as consideration therefor such price per share, determined as provided above. Except as provided in paragraphs (k) and (l) below, no additional adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the Convertible Securities or upon the conversion or exchange of the Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options.
 
 
 
14
 
 
 
5.4 Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, distribute to all the holders of Common Stock any dividend as provided for under section 234 of the Argentine Corporation Law, in cash or other distribution of cash, evidences of its indebtedness, other securities or other properties or assets (in each case other than (i) dividends payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities and (ii) any cash dividend from current or retained earnings), or any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any of the foregoing, that exceeds 3% of the Current Market Price (as defined in Section 5.7), then (A) the Exercise Price shall be decreased to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the record date for such distribution less the sum of (X) the cash portion, if any, of such distribution per share of Common Stock outstanding (exclusive of any treasury shares) on the record date for such distribution plus (Y) the then fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) per share of Common Stock outstanding (exclusive of any treasury shares) on the record date for such distribution of that portion, if any, of such distribution consisting of evidences of indebtedness, other securities, properties, assets, options, warrants or subscription or purchase rights, and the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price per share of Common Stock and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be increased to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately prior to the record date for such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment required by clause (A) of this sentence and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment. The adjustments required by this paragraph shall be made whenever any such distribution occurs retroactive to the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.
 
 
 
15
 
 
 
5.5 Self-Tenders. In case of the consummation of a tender or exchange offer (other than an odd-lot tender offer) made by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in such payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the first reported sales price per share of Common Stock on the trading day next succeeding the Expiration Time, the Exercise Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) at the Expiration Time multiplied by the first reported sales price of the Common Stock on the trading day next succeeding the Expiration Time, and the denominator shall be the sum of (A) the fair market value (determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “Purchased Shares”) and (B) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) on the Expiration Time and the first reported sales price of the Common Stock on the trading day next succeeding the Expiration Time, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time.
 
5.6 Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. If at any time the Company shall (except as hereinafter provided) issue or sell any additional shares of Common Stock for consideration in an amount per additional share of Common Stock less than the Current Market Price, then the number of shares of Common Stock for which a Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such issue or sale by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issue or sale, and (B) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, and (2) the aggregate consideration received from the issuance or sale of the additional shares of Common Stock divided by the Current Market Price. For the purposes of this paragraph (f), the date as of which the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock shall be computed shall be the earlier of (a) the date on which the Company shall enter into a firm contract for the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock or (b) the date of actual issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment shall be made under this paragraph for issuances of shares of Common Stock (i) with respect to options issued under the Company’s stock options plans as currently in effect or (ii) upon exercise of the Warrants.
 
 
 
16
 
 
 
5.7 Current Market Price. For the purpose of any computation of Current Market Price under this Section 5, the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock at any date shall be the average of the daily closing prices for the shorter of (i) the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the last full trading day on the exchange or market specified in the second succeeding sentence prior to the Time of Determination (as defined below) and (ii) the period commencing on the date next succeeding the first public announcement of the issuance, sale, distribution or granting in question through such last full trading day prior to the Time of Determination; provided that in the case of a firm commitment underwritten public offering, the Current Market Price shall mean the closing price of the Common Stock on the day of the pricing of such offering. The term “Time of Determination” as used herein shall be the time and date of the earlier to occur of (A) the date as of which the Current Market Price is to be computed and (B) the last full trading day on such exchange or market before the commencement of “ex-dividend” trading in the Common Stock relating to the event giving rise to the adjustment required by paragraph 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 or 5.4. The closing price for any day shall be the last reported sale price regular way or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices regular way for such day, in each case (1) on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange (Bolsa de Comercio) or (2) if the Common Stock is not listed on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange (Bolsa de Comercio) or a comparable system, selected from time to time in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company for that purpose. In the absence of all of the foregoing, or if for any other reason the Current Market Price per share cannot be determined pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (g), the Current Market Price per share shall be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
 
5.8 Certain Distributions. If the Company shall pay a dividend or make any other distribution payable in Options or Convertible Securities, then, for purposes of paragraph (c) above, such Options or Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued or sold without consideration.
 
5.9 Consideration Received. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued, sold or distributed for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company in respect thereof shall be deemed to be the then fair market value of such consideration (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company). If any Options shall be issued in connection with the issuance and sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration; provided, however, that if such Options have an exercise price equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the date of issuance of such Options, then such Options shall be deemed to have been issued for consideration equal to such exercise price.
 
 
 
17
 
 
 
5.10 Deferral of Certain Adjustments. No adjustment to the Exercise Price (including the related adjustment to the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant) shall be required hereunder unless such adjustment, together with other adjustments carried forward as provided below, would result in an increase or decrease of at least two percent (2%) of the Exercise Price; provided that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph (j) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value of the Common Stock. All calculations under this Section shall be made to the nearest 1/1,000 of one cent or to the nearest 1/1000th of a share, as the case may be.
 
5.11 Changes in Options and Convertible Securities. If the exercise price provided for in any Options referred to in paragraph (c) above, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in paragraph (c) above, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities referred to in paragraph (c) above are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock shall change at any time (other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution upon an event which results in a related adjustment pursuant to this Section 7), the Exercise Price then in effect and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall forthwith be readjusted (effective only with respect to any exercise of any Warrant after such readjustment) to the Exercise Price and number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable that would then be in effect had the adjustment made upon the issuance, sale, distribution or granting of such Options or Convertible Securities been made based upon such changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, but only with respect to such Options and Convertible Securities as then remain outstanding.
 
5.12 Expiration of Options and Convertible Securities. If, at any time after any adjustment to the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall have been made pursuant to paragraph 5.3 or 5.11 above or this paragraph 5.12, any Options or Convertible Securities shall have expired unexercised, the number of such shares so purchasable shall, upon such expiration, be readjusted and shall thereafter be such as they would have been had they been originally adjusted (or had the original adjustment not been required, as the case may be) as if (i) the only shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued in connection with such Options or Convertible Securities were the shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued or sold upon the exercise of such Options or Convertible Securities and (ii) such shares of Common Stock, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by the Company upon such exercise plus the aggregate consideration, if any, actually received by the Company for the issuance, sale, distribution or granting of all such Options or Convertible Securities, whether or not exercised; provided that no such readjustment shall have the effect of decreasing the number of such shares so purchasable by an amount (calculated by adjusting such decrease to account for all other adjustments made pursuant to this Section 5 following the date of the original adjustment referred to above) in excess of the amount of the adjustment initially made in respect of the issuance, sale, distribution or granting of such Options or Convertible Securities.
 
 
 
18
 
 
 
5.13 Other Adjustments. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5, the Holders shall become entitled to receive any securities of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other securities so receivable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Exercise Price applicable to such exercise shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the shares of Common Stock contained in this Section 5.
 
5.14 Other Action Affecting Common Stock. In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall take any action in respect of its Common Stock, other than any action described in this Section 5, then the number of shares of Common Stock or other stock for which a Warrant is exercisable and/or the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in such manner as may be equitable in the circumstances. If the Company shall at any time and from time to time issue or sell (i) any shares of any class of common stock other than Common Stock, (ii) any evidences of its indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for such shares of common stock, with or without the payment of additional consideration in cash or property or (iii) any Warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such shares of common stock or any such evidences, shares of stock or other securities, then in each such case such issuance shall be deemed to be of, or in respect of, Common Stock for purposes of this Section 5; provided, however, that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, common stock other than Common Stock, including shares of non-voting common stock, then the number of shares of Common Stock for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the aggregate number of shares of such common stock and of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event.
 
6. Notices of Changes in Warrant
 
. Upon every adjustment of the exercise price of a Warrant or the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Warrant Agent, which notice shall state the Warrant exercise price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of a Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. The Warrant Agent shall be fully protected in relying upon such a notice and on any adjustment therein contained and shall not have any duty or liability with respect thereto and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any such adjustment unless and until it shall have received such certificate.
 
7. Reservation of Warrant Shares

During such four-year period, the Company shall, upon the request of any Holder of Warrants that may be required pursuant to the Securities Act to deliver a prospectus in connection with any sale or other disposition of Warrant Shares, include within the plan of distribution section of the prospectus and in such other places in the prospectus as may be necessary, all information necessary under the Securities Act to enable such Holder to deliver such prospectus in connection with sales or other dispositions of such Warrant Shares, and the Company shall also take such action as may be necessary under the Securities Act with respect to the related registration statement to enable such Holder to effect such delivery in connection with such sale or other disposition. The Company further agrees to provide any Holder who during such period may be required to deliver a prospectus upon the sale or other disposition of such Warrant Shares, such number of copies of the prospectus as such Holder reasonably requests.
 
8.1 Registration Expenses. All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Section 18 will be borne by the Company, including without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses; (ii) all fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities laws; (iii) all expenses of printing (including printing certificates for the Warrant Shares and printing of prospectuses), messenger and delivery services; (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company; (v) all fees and disbursements of independent certified public accountants of the Company (including the expenses of any special audit and comfort letters required by or incident to such performance); and (vi) the Company’s internal expenses, the expenses of any annual or other audit and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Company.
 
9. Miscellaneous Provisions

Upon receipt by the Company and the Warrant Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to them of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Warrants or any stock certificate relating to shares underlying the Warrants, and in case of loss theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to them (including, posting a bond), and reimbursement to the Company and the Warrant Agent of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto.
