(c)           The Securities are issuable in authorized denominations of U.S. $1.00 and integral multiples of U.S. $1.00 in excess thereof.
 
(d)           As used herein, the following terms have the meanings set forth below:
 
Business Day means any day other than (i) a Saturday or a Sunday or (ii) a day on which banking institutions or trust companies are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close in the City of New York or in the City of Buenos Aires.
 
2.           Payments and Trustee Paying Agents.  b) Principal of and interest on the Securities will be payable in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for payment of public and private debts.  Payments of principal of and interest on each Security will be made in immediately available funds to the person in whose name such Security is registered at the close of business on the Record Date (as defined below) for the relevant Principal Payment Date and Interest Payment Date, respectively.  The Republic will make payments of principal of and interest on the Securities by (i) providing the Trustee or trustee paying agent (as def ined below) the amount of such payment, in immediately available funds, not later than 1:00 P.M. local time at the place of payment, not later than the Business Day prior to each Principal Payment Date or Interest Payment Date, as applicable; and (ii) directing the Trustee to hold these funds in trust for the Trustee and the beneficial owners of the Securities in accordance with their respective interests and to make a wire transfer of such amount to The Bank of New York Depositary (Nominees) Limited, as the registered owner of the Securities, which will receive the funds in trust for distribution to the beneficial owners of the Securities; provided that the Republic may, subject to applicable laws and regulations, make payments of principal of and interest on the Securities by mailing, or directing the Trustee to mail, from funds made available by the Republic for such purpose, a check to the person entitled thereto, on or before the due date for the payment at the address that appears on the security register maintained by the Registrar on the applicable record date.
 
The record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date or Principal Payment Date will be the Business Day prior to such date (each such day, a “Record Date”).  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Republic’s obligation to make payments of principal of and interest on the Securities shall not have been satisfied until such payments are received by the Holders of the Securities, and (ii) Holders shall be entitled to receive the last installment of principal payable by the Republic hereunder only upon surrender of this Security to the Trustee or a trustee paying agent for cancellation thereof.
 
None of the Republic, the Trustee or any paying agent that shall be appointed by the Trustee at the expense of the Republic (each, a “trustee paying agent”) will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in the Securities or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.
 
 
R-2

 
(b)           Any payment of principal or interest required to be made on a Principal Payment Date or Interest Payment Date, as applicable, that is not a Business Day need not be made on such day, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Principal Payment Date or Interest Payment Date, and no interest will accrue with respect to any such principal payment for the period from and after such Principal Payment Date.
 
(c)           Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
 
(d)           The Trustee shall maintain, at the Republic’s expense, a trustee paying agent in a member state of the European Union that is not obliged to deduct or withhold tax pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other Directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of November 26-27, 2000 on the taxation of savings income or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive.  The Trustee has initially appointed The Bank of New York Mellon (One Canada Square, London E14 5AL) to serve as its trustee paying agent and transfer agent in London.  Subject to the foregoing, the Republic shall have the right at any time t o instruct the Trustee to terminate any such appointment and to appoint any other paying agents or transfer agents in such other places as it may deem appropriate for the purpose of making payments for the exclusive benefit of Holders.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the trustee paying agent and any trustee paying agent appointed hereunder shall be agents solely of the Trustee, and the Republic shall have no authority over or any direct relationship with the trustee paying agent or any such trustee paying agent.  If the Republic issues Certificated Securities and so long as any of the Securities are outstanding, the Trustee shall appoint, at the expense of the Republic, a trustee paying agent and a transfer agent in a Western European city for payment on and transfers of the Securities (which will be Luxembourg, so long as the Securities are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of such Exchange so require).
 
(e)           All money paid to the Trustee pursuant to these Terms shall be held by it in trust exclusively for itself and the Holders of the Securities in accordance with their respective interests to be applied by the Trustee to payments due on the Securities or to the Trustee at the time and in the manner provided for in these Terms and in the Indenture, and the Holders of the Securities may, subject to the next sentence, look only to the Trustee for any payment to which the Holders may be entitled.  Any monies deposited with the Trustee for the payment of the principal of or interest (including Additional Amounts) on any Security remaining unclaimed for ten years (in the case of principal) or five years (in the case of interest) or, in either case, any shorter prescrip tion period provided by law after such principal or interest shall have become due and payable shall be repaid to the Republic upon written request without interest, and the Holder of any such Security may thereafter look only to the Republic for any payment to which such Holder may be entitled.
 
3.           Taxation.  All payments of principal of and interest on this Security by the Republic shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the Republic or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax (together “Taxes”), unless such withholding or deduction
 
 
R-3

 
 
is required by law.  In such event, the Republic shall pay to the registered Holders of this Security such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as will result in receipt by such Holders of such amounts of principal, premium and interest as would have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required; except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to any Security (i) to a Holder (or to a third party on behalf of a Holder) where such Holder is liable for such Taxes in respect of this Security by reason of such Holder having some connection with the Republic other than the mere holding of this Security or the receipt of principal or interest in respect thereof; (ii) where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of November 26-27, 2000 on the taxation of savings income or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive; (iii) presented for payment by or on behalf of a Holder who would have been able to avoid the withholding or deduction by presenting this Security to another trustee paying agent in a member state of the European Union or (iv) presented for payment more than 30 days after the Relevant Date, as defined herein, except to the extent that the Holder thereof would have been entitled to Additional Amounts on presenting the same for payment on the last day of such period of 30 days.
 
Relevant Date” in respect of any payment on this Security means the date on which such payment becomes due or (if the full amount of the money payable on such date has not been received by the Trustee on or prior to such due date) the date on which notice is duly given to the Holders that such moneys have been so received and are available for payment.  Any reference herein to “principal” and/or “interest” shall be deemed to include any Additional Amounts which may be payable on this Security.

R-1

 
(c)           The Securities are issuable in authorized denominations of €1.00 and integral multiples of €1.00 in excess thereof.
 
(d)           As used herein, the following terms have the meanings set forth below:
 
Business Day means any day other than (i) a Saturday or a Sunday or (ii) a day on which banking institutions or trust companies are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close in the City of Buenos Aires, or (iii) a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (“TARGET”) System, or any successor thereto, is closed for business.
 
2.           Payments and Trustee Paying Agents.  (a) Principal of and interest on the Securities will be payable in the single currency adopted by those states participating in European Monetary Union from time to time.  Payments of principal of and interest on each Security will be made in immediately available funds to the person in whose name such Security is registered at the close of business on the Record Date (as defined below) for the relevant Principal Payment Date and Interest Payment Date, respectively.  The Republic will make payments of principal of and interest on the Securities by (i) providing the Trustee or trustee paying agent (as defined below) the amount of such payment , in immediately available funds, not later than 1:00 P.M. local time at the place of payment, not later than the Business Day prior to each Principal Payment Date or Interest Payment Date, as applicable; and (ii) directing the Trustee to hold these funds in trust for the Trustee and the beneficial owners of the Securities in accordance with their respective interests and to make a wire transfer of such amount to The Bank of New York Depositary (Nominees) Limited, as the registered owner of the Securities, which will receive the funds in trust for distribution to the beneficial owners of the Securities; provided that the Republic may, subject to applicable laws and regulations, make payments of principal of and interest on the Securities by mailing, or directing the Trustee to mail, from funds made available by the Republic for such purpose, a check to the person entitled thereto, on or before the due date for the payment at the address that appears on the security register maintained by the Registrar on the applicable record date.

R-2

 
(b)           Any payment of principal or interest required to be made on a Principal Payment Date or Interest Payment Date, as applicable, that is not a Business Day need not be made on such day, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Principal Payment Date or Interest Payment Date, and no interest will accrue with respect to any such principal payment for the period from and after such Principal Payment Date.

18.           Waiver of Immunity.  (a)  Subject to Paragraph 19, to the extent that the Republic or any of its revenues, assets or properties shall be entitled, in any jurisdiction in which any Specified Court is located, in which any Related Proceeding may at any time be brought against it or any of its revenues, assets or properties, or in any jurisdiction in which any Specified Court or Other Court is located in which any suit, action or proceeding may at any time be brought solely for the purpose of enforcing or executing any Related Judgment, to any immunity from suit, from the jurisdiction of any such court, from set-off, from attachment prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution of judgment, from execution of a judgment or from any other legal or judicial process or remedy, and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there shall be attributed such an immunity, the Republic irrevocably waives such immunity to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction, including the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (the “Immunities Act”) (and consents to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with any Related Proceeding or Related Judgment as permitted by applicable law, including the Immunities Act), provided that such waiver shall not extend to and the Republic shall be immune in respect of and in relation to any suit, action or proceeding or enforcement of any Related Judgment against (i) reserves of the Central Bank of the Republic (Banco Central de la República Argentina), (ii) property in the public domain located in the territory of the Republic that falls within the purview of Sections 2337 and 2340 of the Civil Code of the Republic, including but not limited to Argentine waterways, public works, archeological ruins and sites of scientific interest, (iii) property located in or outside the territory of the Republic that provides an essential public service, (iv) property (whether in the form of cash, bank deposits, securities, third party obligations or any other methods of payment) of the Argentine government, its governmental agencies and other governmental entities relating to the performance of the budget, within the purview of Sections 131 to 136 of Law No. 11,672, Complementaria Permanente de Presupuesto (t.o. 2005), (v) property entitled to the privileges and immunities of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961, including but not limited to the property, p remises and accounts of Argentine missions, (vi) property entitled to the immunities of the Immunities Act, including but not limited to property of the Republic not being used by the Republic for a commercial activity in the United States, (vii) property used by a diplomatic, governmental or consular mission of the Republic (viii) property of a military character or under the control of a military authority or defense agency of the Republic or (ix) property forming part of the cultural heritage of the Republic.
 
 
R-13

 
(b)           This waiver of sovereign immunity constitutes only a limited and specific waiver for the purpose of the Securities of this Series and the Indenture and under no circumstances shall it be interpreted as a general waiver of the Republic or a waiver with respect to proceedings unrelated to the Securities of this Series or the Indenture.  Insofar as this waiver relates to the jurisdiction in which an Other Court is located, the Republic extends it solely for the purpose of enabling the Trustee or a Holder of Securities of this Series to enforce or execute a Related Judgment.
 
19.           Limitation on Actions.  The Republic reserves the right to plead sovereign immunity under the Immunities Act with respect to actions brought against it under the U.S. federal securities laws or any state securities laws and the appointment of an Authorized Agent does not extend to such actions, but without prejudice to the rights of the Trustee or the other specified persons to the indemnification and contribution as set forth in Section 5.6 of the Indenture.
 
20.           Effect of Headings.  The paragraph headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
 
21.           Modifications.  (a)  Any modification, amendment, supplement, request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by the Indenture or these Terms (each, a “Modification”) to the Indenture or the terms and conditions of the Debt Securities of one or more Series (including these Securities) may be made, given, or taken pursuant to (i) a written action of the Holders of the Debt Securities of such affected Series without the need for a meeting, or (ii) by vote of the Holders of the Debt Securities of such affected Series taken at a meeting or meetings of Holders thereof, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 21 and the other applicable provisions of the Debt Securities of the affected Series and the Indenture.
 
(b)           Modifications to the Terms of these Securities, or to the Indenture insofar as it affects these Securities, may be made, and future compliance therewith may be waived, with the consent of the Republic and
 
(i)        in the case of any Non-Reserved Matter (as defined below), (A) at any meeting of Holders of these Securities duly called and held as specified in Paragraph 22 below, upon the affirmative vote, in person or by proxy thereunto duly authorized in writing, of the Holders of not less than 66⅔% of the aggregate principal amount of these Securities then Outstanding that are represented at such meeting, or (B) with the written consent of the Holders of not less than 66⅔% of the aggregate principal amount of these Securities then Outstanding, or
 
 
R-14

 
(ii)        in the case of any Reserved Matter (as defined below), (A) at any meeting of Holders of these Securities duly called and held as specified in Paragraph 22 below, upon the affirmative vote, in person or by proxy thereunto duly authorized in writing, of the Holders of not less than 75% of the aggregate principal amount of these Securities then Outstanding, or (B) with the written consent of the Holders of not less than 75% of the aggregate principal amount of these Securities then Outstanding.
 
(c)           If the Republic proposes any Modification constituting a Reserved Matter to the Terms of these Securities and to the terms and conditions of at least one other Series of Debt Securities, or to the Indenture insofar as it affects these Securities and at least one other Series of Debt Securities, in either case as part of a single transaction, the Republic may elect to proceed pursuant to this Paragraph 21(c) instead of Paragraph 21(b), provided that the Republic may revoke any such election at any time and proceed pursuant to Paragraph 21(b) instead.  The Republic may do this without recommending the procedure if the Trustee agrees that it would not be materially prejudicial to Holders not to recommend the p rocedure.  In the event of such an election, any such Reserved Matter Modification may be made, and future compliance therewith may be waived, with the consent of the Republic and
 
(i)        (A) at any meetings of Holders of Debt Securities of the two or more Series that would be affected by the proposed Modification duly called and held as specified in Paragraph 22 below, upon the affirmative vote, in person or by proxy thereunto duly authorized in writing, of the Holders of not less than 85% of the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities then Outstanding of all such affected Series (taken in the aggregate), or (B) with the written consent of the Holders of not less than 85% of the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities then Outstanding of all such affected Series (taken in the aggregate), and
 
(ii)        (A) at any meeting of Holders of these Securities duly called and held as specified in Paragraph 22 below, upon the affirmative vote, in person or by proxy thereunto duly authorized in writing, of the Holders of not less than 66⅔% of the aggregate principal amount of these Securities then Outstanding, or (B) with the written consent of the Holders of not less than 66⅔% of the aggregate principal amount of these Securities then Outstanding.
 
If the Debt Securities of any Series that would be affected by any Modification proposed pursuant to this Paragraph 21(c) (including these Securities) are denominated in a currency or currency unit other than U.S. dollars, the principal amount of such Debt Securities for purposes of voting shall be the amount of U.S. dollars that could have been obtained with the principal amount of such Debt Securities on the date on which any proposed modification is submitted to Holders using the noon U.S. dollar buying rate in New York City for cable transfers of such currency or currency unit other than U.S. dollars for such date published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.  If at the time a vote is solicited pursuant to this Paragraph 21(c) separate Trustees have been appointed for these Securities and any other Series of Debt Secur ities affected by that vote, the Trustee acting for the Series (or multiple Series, including for these Securities) having the greatest aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities then Outstanding affected by that vote will be responsible for administering the voting procedures contemplated by this Paragraph 21(c).
 
 
R-15

 
(d)           The Republic and the Trustee may, without the vote or consent of any Holder of the Securities, amend these Securities or the Indenture for the purpose of (A) adding to the covenants of the Republic for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities, (B) surrendering any right or power conferred upon the Republic, (C) securing the Securities pursuant to the requirements of the Securities or otherwise, (D) curing any ambiguity, or curing, correcting or supplementing any proven (to the satisfaction of the Trustee) error thereof, (E) making any change which is of a formal, minor or technical nature, or (F) amending the Securities or the Indenture in any manner which the Republic and the Trustee may determine that shall not adversely affect the interests of any Holder of Secur ities.
 
(e)           Any instrument given by or on behalf of any Holder of a Security in connection with any consent to or vote for any Modification to the Terms of these Securities or the Indenture as of the effective time of such instrument will be irrevocable and will be conclusive and binding on all subsequent Holders of this Security or any Security issued directly or indirectly in exchange or substitution therefor or in lieu thereof.  Any such Modification to the Terms of these Securities or the Indenture will be conclusive and binding on all Holders of these Securities, whether or not they have given such consent or cast such vote, and whether or not notation of such Modification is made upon the Securities.  Notice of any Modification to the Terms of these Securi ties or the Indenture (other than for purposes of curing any ambiguity or of curing, correcting or supplementing any proven (to the satisfaction of the Trustee) error hereof or thereof) shall be given to each Holder of the Securities, as provided in Paragraph 11 above.
 
Securities authenticated and delivered after the effectiveness of any such Modification may bear a notation in the form approved by the Trustee and the Republic as to any matter provided for in such Modification.  New Securities modified to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Republic, to any such Modification may be prepared by the Republic, authenticated by the Trustee (or any authenticating agent appointed pursuant to the Indenture) and delivered in exchange for Outstanding Securities.
 
It shall not be necessary for the vote or consent of the Holders of the Securities to approve the particular form of any proposed Modification, but it shall be sufficient if such vote or consent shall approve the substance thereof.

(ii)        Securities that have been called for redemption in accordance with their terms or which have become due and payable at maturity or otherwise and with respect to which the Republic’s obligation to make payments of the principal thereof (and premium, if any) and any interest thereon shall have been satisfied in accordance with the Terms of these Securities; or
 
 
R-16

 
(iii)        Securities in lieu of or in substitution for which other Securities of a Series shall have been authenticated and delivered pursuant to these Terms and the Indenture;
 
provided that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Securities Outstanding have consented to or voted in favor of any Modification or other action or instruction hereunder or, in the case of a meeting called and held pursuant to Paragraph 22, whether sufficient Holders are present for quorum purposes, any Securities owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Republic or any Public Sector Instrumentality of the Republic shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding.  As used in these Terms, “Public Sector Instrumentality” means Banco Central de la República Argentina, any department, min istry or agency of the government of the Republic or any corporation, trust, financial institution or other entity owned or controlled by the government of the Republic or any of the foregoing, and, with respect to any Public Sector Instrumentality, “control” means the power, directly or indirectly, through the ownership of voting securities or other ownership interest or otherwise, to direct the management of or elect or appoint a majority of the board of directors or other persons performing similar functions in lieu of, or in addition to, the board of directors of a corporation, trust, financial institution or other entity.
 
In determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such Modification or other action or instruction, only Securities that the Trustee knows to be so owned or controlled shall be so disregarded; provided that prior to the solicitation of any consent or the taking of any vote in respect of any Modification or other action or instruction hereunder affecting the Securities, the Republic shall deliver to the Trustee one or more Officer’s Certificates specifying any Securities owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Republic or any Public Sector Instrumentality of the Republic.
 
Securities so owned or controlled that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not the Republic or a Public Sector Instrumentality.
 
Reserved Matter” means any Modification that would:
 
(i)           change the due date for the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or any installment of interest on the Securities;
 
(ii)           reduce the principal amount of the Securities, the portion of such principal amount which is payable upon acceleration of the maturity of the Securities, the interest rate thereon or the premium payable upon redemption thereof;

(xi)        authorize the Trustee, on behalf of all Holders of the Securities, to exchange or substitute all the Securities for, or convert all the Securities into, other obligations or securities of the Republic or any other Person; or
 
(xii)        amend, supplement or waive the obligations of the Republic pursuant to, or the rights of the Holders resulting from, the covenant of the Republic set forth in Paragraph 6 hereof.
 
22.           Holders’ Meetings.  (a)  The Republic may at any time ask for written consents from or call a meeting of Holders of the Securities at any time and from time to time to make, give or take any Modification (as defined in Paragraph 21(a) above) to these Terms as hereinafter provided.  Any such meeting shall be held at such time and at such place as the Republic shall determine and as shall be specified in a notice of such a meeting that shall be furnished to the Holders of the Securities at least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the meeting.  In addition, the Trustee may at any time and from time to time call a meeting of Holders of th e Securities for any such purpose, to be held at such time and at such place as the Trustee shall determine and as shall be specified in a notice of such meeting that shall be furnished to the Holders of the Securities at least 30 days and no more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the meeting.  If, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Paragraph 5(a) the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at that time Outstanding shall have requested the Trustee to call a meeting of the Holders of the Securities for any such purpose, by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, the Trustee shall call such meeting, to be held at such time and at such place as the Trustee shall determine, for such purposes by giving notice thereof.  Such notice shall be given at least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the meeting.  Notice of every meeting of Holders of the Securities shall set f orth in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting.

(b)           The Securities are issuable only in fully registered form without coupons and are represented by one or more registered global securities (each, a “Global Security”) held by or on behalf of the Person or Persons that are designated, pursuant to the Indenture, by the Republic to act as depositary for such Global Securities (the “Depositary”).  Securities issued in certificated form (“Certificated Securities”) will be available only in the limited circumstances set forth in the Indenture.  The Securities, and transfers thereo f, shall be registered as provided in Section 2.6 of the Indenture.  Any person in whose name a Security shall be registered (each, a “Holder”) may (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) be treated at all times, by all persons and for all purposes as the absolute owner of such Security regardless of any notice of ownership, theft, loss or any writing thereon.
 
(c)           The Securities are issuable in authorized denominations of U.S. $1.00 and integral multiples of U.S. $1.00 in excess thereof.
 
(d)           As used herein, the following terms have the meanings set forth below:
 
 
R-1

 
Business Day means any day other than (i) a Saturday or a Sunday or (ii) a day on which banking institutions or trust companies are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close in the City of New York or in the City of Buenos Aires.
 
2.           Payments and Trustee Paying Agents.  b) Principal of and interest on the Securities will be payable in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for payment of public and private debts.  Payments of interest on each Security will be made in immediately available funds to the person in whose name such Security is registered at the close of business on the Record Date (as defined below) for the relevant Interest Payment Date.  The Republic will make payments of principal of and interest on the Securities by (i) providing the Trustee or trustee paying agent (as defined below) the amount of such payment, in immediately ava ilable funds, not later than 1:00 P.M. local time at the place of payment, not later than the Business Day prior to the Maturity Date or each Interest Payment Date, as applicable; and (ii) directing the Trustee to hold these funds in trust for the Trustee and the beneficial owners of the Securities in accordance with their respective interests and to make a wire transfer of such amount to The Bank of New York Depositary (Nominees) Limited, as the registered owner of the Securities, which will receive the funds in trust for distribution to the beneficial owners of the Securities; provided that the Republic may, subject to applicable laws and regulations, make payments of interest on the Securities by mailing, or directing the Trustee to mail, from funds made available by the Republic for such purpose, a check to the person entitled thereto, on or before the due date for the payment at the address that appears on the security register maintained by the R egistrar on the applicable record date.
 
The record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date will be the Business Day prior to such date (each such day, a “Record Date”).  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Republic’s obligation to make payments of principal of and interest on the Securities shall not have been satisfied until such payments are received by the Holders of the Securities and (ii) Holders shall be entitled to receive the principal payable by the Republic hereunder on the Maturity Date only upon surrender of this Security to the Trustee or a trustee paying agent for cancellation thereof.
 
None of the Republic, the Trustee or any paying agent that shall be appointed by the Trustee at the expense of the Republic (each, a “trustee paying agent”) will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in the Securities or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.
 
(b)           Any payment of principal or interest required to be made on the Maturity Date or an Interest Payment Date, as applicable, that is not a Business Day need not be made on such day, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Maturity Date or such Interest Payment Date, and no interest will accrue with respect to any such principal payment for the period from and after the Maturity Date.

4.           Status and Negative Pledge Covenant.  c)  The Securities will constitute the direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Republic.  The Securities will rank pari passu and without any preference among themselves and with each other Series of Debt Securities issued under the Indenture by reason of priority of date of issue or currency of payment or otherwise, and at least equally with all other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated External Indebtedness (as defined herein) of the Republic.
 
(b)           So long as any Security remains Outstanding (as defined in Paragraph 20(f) below), save for the exceptions set forth below, the Republic will not create or permit to subsist any lien, pledge, mortgage, security interest, deed of trust, charge or other encumbrance or preferential arrangement which has the practical effect of constituting a security interest (“Lien”) upon the whole or any part of its assets or revenues to secure any Public External Indebtedness of the Republic unless, at the same time or prior thereto, the Republic’s obligations under the Securities either (i) are secured equally and ratably therewith, or (ii) have the benefit of such other security, guarantee, indemnity or other arrangement as shall be approved by the Holders of the Securities (as provided in Paragraph 20).

(vi)           any Lien on any of the 1992 Par and Discount Bonds; and

(c)           Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, a Security may be transferred in whole or in part by the Holder or Holders surrendering the Security for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in the City of New York or at the office of any transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Republic and the Registrar or any such transfer agent, as the case may be, duly executed by the Holder or Holders thereof or its attorney-in-fact or attorneys-in-fact duly authorized in writing.

Proceeding (the “Related Judgment”) shall be conclusive and binding upon it and may be enforced in any Specified Court or in any other courts to the jurisdiction of which the Republic is or may be subject (the “Other Courts”), by a suit upon such judgment.
 
(b)           The Republic hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to Related Proceedings brought in a Specified Court whether on the grounds of venue, residence or domicile or on the ground that the Related Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum.
 
18.      Consent to Service.  Subject to Paragraph 20, the Republic hereby appoints the Embassy of the Republic of Argentina in the United Kingdom, at its office located at 65 Brook Street, London, W1K 4AH, United Kingdom, and, if such person is not maintained by the Republic as its agent for such purpose, the Republic will appoint the Embassy of the Republic of Argentina in the United Kingdom, presently located at 27 Three Kings Yard, London, W1K 4DF, United Kingdom, to act as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon whom process may be served in any Related Proceeding or any action or proceeding to enforce or execute any Related Judgment brought against it in any English Court.  Such appointment shall be irrevocable until the Expiration Date, and not before all amounts due hereunder have been provided to the Trustee pursuant to the terms hereof and the Trustee has given notice to the Holders in accordance with the terms hereof of the availability of such amounts for payment to the Holders, except that, if for any reason, such Authorized Agent ceases to be able to act as Authorized Agent or to have an address in the City of London, the Republic will appoint another person in the City of London, selected in its discretion, as such Authorized Agent.  Prior to the date of issuance of any further Securities of this Series, the Republic shall obtain the consent of the Authorized Agent to its appointment as such Authorized Agent, a copy of which acceptance it shall provide to the Trustee.  The Republic shall take any and all action, including the filing of any a nd all documents and instruments that may be necessary to continue such appointment or appointments in full force and effect as aforesaid.  Service of process upon the Authorized Agent at the address indicated above, as such address may be changed within the City of London, by notice given by the Authorized Agent to each party hereto, shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Republic.
 
Nothing in this Paragraph 18 shall affect the right of the Trustee or (in connection with legal action or proceedings by any Holder as permitted by the Indenture and this Security) any Holder to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of the Trustee or any such Holder to bring any action or proceeding against the Republic or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions.
 
The appointment and acceptance of jurisdiction set out in Paragraphs 17 and 18 above are intended to be effective upon execution of this Security without further act by the Republic before any such court and introduction of a true copy of this Security into evidence shall be conclusive and final evidence of such waiver.
 
19.      Waiver of Immunity.  (vii)  Subject to Paragraph 20, to the extent that the Republic or any of its revenues, assets or properties shall be entitled, in any jurisdiction in which any Specified Court
 
 
 
R-15

 
 
 
 is located, in which any Related Proceeding may at any time be brought against it or any of its revenues, assets or properties, or in any jurisdiction in which any Specified Court or Other Court is located in which any suit, action or proceeding may at any time be brought solely for the purpose of enforcing or executing any Related Judgment, to any immunity from suit, from the jurisdiction of any such court, from set-off, from attachment prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution of judgment, from execution of a judgment or from any other legal or judicial process or remedy, and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there shall be attributed such an immunity, the Republic irrevocably waives such immunity to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction, including the United States Foreign Sover eign Immunities Act of 1976 (the “Immunities Act”) (and consents to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with any Related Proceeding or Related Judgment as permitted by applicable law, including the Immunities Act), provided, however, that such waiver shall not extend to and the Republic shall be immune in respect of and in relation to any suit, action or proceeding or enforcement of any Related Judgment against (i) assets that constitute freely available reserves pursuant to Sections 5 and 6 of Law No. 23,928, as amended, (ii) property in the public domain located in the territory of the Republic of Argentina that falls within the purview of Sections 2337 and 2340 of the Civil Code of the Republic, (iii) property located in or outside the territory of the Republic that provides an essential public service, (iv) property (whether in the form of cash, bank deposits, securities, third party obligations or any other methods of payment) of the Argentine government, its governmental agencies and other governmental entities relating to the performance of the budget, within the purview of Section 67 of Law No. 11,672 (t.o. 1999), as supplemented by Sections 94, 95 and 96 of Law No. 25,401, (v) property entitled to the privileges and immunities of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961, (vi) property not used for commercial activity that is entitled to the immunities of the Immunities Act, (vii) property used by a diplomatic, governmental or consular mission of the Republic or (viii) property of a military character or under the control of a military authority or defense agency of the Republic.
 
(b)           This waiver of sovereign immunity constitutes only a limited and specific waiver for the purpose of the Securities of this Series and the Indenture and under no circumstances shall it be interpreted as a general waiver of the Republic or a waiver with respect to proceedings unrelated to the Securities of this Series or the Indenture.  Insofar as this waiver relates to the jurisdiction in which an Other Court is located, the Republic extends it solely for the purpose of enabling the Trustee or a Holder of Securities of this Series to enforce or execute a Related Judgment.
 
20.      Limitation on Actions.  The Republic reserves the right to plead sovereign immunity under the Immunities Act with respect to actions brought against it under the U.S. federal securities laws or any state securities laws and the appointment of an Authorized Agent does not extend to such actions, but without prejudice to the rights of the Trustee or other specified persons to indemnification and contribution as set forth in Section 5.6 of the Indenture.
 
21.      Effect of Headings.  The paragraph headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
 
22.      Modifications.  (viii)  Any modification, amendment, supplement, request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by the Indenture, the GDP-Linked Securities Authorization or these Terms (each, a “Modification”) to the Indenture, the GDP-Linked Securities Authorization or the terms and conditions of the GDP-Linked
 
 
 
R-16

 
 
 
Securities of one or more Series (including these Securities) may be made, given, or taken pursuant to (i) a written action of the Holders of the GDP-Linked Securities of such affected Series without the need for a meeting, or (ii) by vote of the Holders of the GDP-Linked Securities of such affected Series taken at a meeting or meetings of Holders thereof, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 22 and the other applicable provisions of the GDP-Linked Securities of the affected Series, the GDP-Linked Securities Authorization and the Indenture.
 
(b)           Modifications to the Terms of these Securities, to the GDP-Linked Authorization or to the Indenture insofar as it affects these Securities, may be made, and future compliance therewith may be waived, with the consent of the Republic and
 
      (i)                in the case of any Non-Reserved Matter (as defined below), (A) at any meeting of Holders of these Securities duly called and held as specified in Paragraph 23 below, upon the affirmative vote, in person or by proxy thereunto duly authorized in writing, of the Holders of not less than 66⅔% of the aggregate notional amount of these Securities then Outstanding that are represented at such meeting, or (B) with the written consent of the Holders of not less than 66⅔% of the aggregate notional amount of these Securities then Outstanding, or
 
(ii)           in the case of any Reserved Matter (as defined below), (A) at any meeting of Holders of these Securities duly called and held as specified in Paragraph 23 below, upon the affirmative vote, in person or by proxy thereunto duly authorized in writing, of the Holders of not less than 75% of the aggregate notional amount of these Securities then Outstanding, or (B) with the written consent of the Holders of not less than 75% of the aggregate notional amount of these Securities then Outstanding.
 
(c)           If the Republic proposes any Modification constituting a Reserved Matter to the Terms of these Securities and to the terms and conditions of at least one other Series of GDP-Linked Securities, to the GDP-Linked Securities Authorization or to the Indenture insofar as it affects these Securities and at least one other Series of GDP-Linked Securities, in either case as part of a single transaction, the Republic may elect to proceed pursuant to this Paragraph 22(c) instead of Paragraph 22(b), provided that the Republic may revoke any such election at any time and proceed pursuant to Paragraph 22(b) instead.  The Republic may do this without recommending the procedure if the Trustee agrees that it would not be materially prejudicial to Holders not to recommend the procedure.  In the event of such an election, any such Reserved Matter Modification may be made, and future compliance therewith may be waived, with the consent of the Republic and
 
(i)          (A) at any meetings of Holders of GDP-Linked Securities of the two or more Series that would be affected by the proposed Modification duly called and held as specified in Paragraph 23 below, upon the affirmative vote, in person or by proxy thereunto duly authorized in writing, of the Holders of not less than 85% of the aggregate notional amount of the GDP-Linked Securities then Outstanding of all such affected Series (taken in the aggregate), or (B) with the written consent of the Holders of not less than 85% of the aggregate notional amount of the GDP-Linked Securities then Outstanding of all such affected Series (taken in the aggregate), and

(ii)          (A) at any meeting of Holders of these Securities duly called and held as specified in Paragraph 23 below, upon the affirmative vote, in person or by proxy thereunto duly authorized in writing, of the Holders of not less than 66⅔% of the aggregate notional amount of these Securities then Outstanding, or (B) with the written consent of the Holders of not less than 66⅔% of the aggregate notional amount of these Securities then Outstanding.
 
If the GDP-Linked Securities of any Series that would be affected by any Modification proposed pursuant to this Paragraph 22(c) (including these Securities) are denominated in a currency or currency unit other than U.S. dollars, the notional amount of such GDP-Linked Securities for purposes of voting shall be the amount of U.S. dollars that could have been obtained with the notional amount of such GDP-Linked Securities on the date on which any proposed modification is submitted to Holders using the noon U.S. dollar buying rate in New York City for cable transfers of such currency or currency unit other than U.S. dollars for such date published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.  If at the time a vote is solicited pursuant to this Paragraph 22(c) separate Trustees have been appointed for these Securities and any other Seri es of GDP-Linked Securities affected by that vote, the Trustee acting for the Series (or multiple Series, including for these Securities) having the greatest aggregate notional amount of the GDP-Securities then Outstanding affected by that vote will be responsible for administering the voting procedures contemplated by this Paragraph 22(c).
 
(d)           The Republic and the Trustee may, without the vote or consent of any Holder of the Securities, amend these Securities, the GDP-Linked Authorization or the Indenture for the purpose of (A) adding to the covenants of the Republic for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities, (B) surrendering any right or power conferred upon the Republic, (C) securing the Securities pursuant to the requirements of the Securities or otherwise, (D) curing any ambiguity, or curing, correcting or supplementing any proven (to the satisfaction of the Trustee) error thereof, (E) making any change which is of a formal, minor or technical nature, or (F) amending the Securities, the GDP-Linked Authorization or the Indenture in any manner which the Republic and the Trustee may determine that sha ll not adversely affect the interest of any Holder of Securities.
 
(e)           Any instrument given by or on behalf of any Holder of a Security in connection with any consent to or vote for any Modification to the Terms of these Securities, the GDP-Linked Authorization or the Indenture as of the effective time of such instrument will be irrevocable and will be conclusive and binding on all subsequent Holders of this Security or any Security issued directly or indirectly in exchange or substitution therefor or in lieu thereof.  Any such Modification to the Terms of these Securities, the GDP-Linked Authorization or the Indenture will be conclusive and binding on all Holders of these Securities, whether or not they have given such consent or cast such vote, and whether or not notation of such Modification is made upon the Securities. & #160;Notice of any Modification to the Terms of these Securities, the GDP-Linked Authorization or the Indenture (other than for purposes of curing any ambiguity or of curing, correcting or supplementing any proven (to the satisfaction of the Trustee) error hereof or thereof) shall be given to each Holder of the Securities, as provided in Paragraph 12 above.
 
Securities authenticated and delivered after the effectiveness of any such Modification may bear a notation in the form approved by the Trustee and the Republic as to any

(b)           Any payment of principal or interest required to be made on a Principal Payment Date or Interest Payment Date, as applicable, that is not a Business Day need not be made on such day, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Principal Payment Date or Interest Payment Date, and no interest will accrue with respect to any such principal payment for the period from and after such Principal Payment Date.

(d)           The Trustee shall maintain, at the Republic’s expense, a trustee paying agent in a member state of the European Union that is not obliged to deduct or withhold tax pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other Directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of November 26-27, 2000 on the taxation of savings income or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive.  The Trustee has initially appointed The Bank of New York Mellon (One Canada Square, London E14 5AL) to serve as its trustee paying agent and transfer agent in London.  Subject to the foregoing, the Republic shall have the right at any time t o instruct the Trustee to terminate any such appointment and to appoint any other paying agents or transfer agents in such other places as it may deem appropriate for the purpose of making payments for the exclusive benefit of Holders.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the trustee paying agent and any trustee paying agent appointed hereunder shall be agents solely of the Trustee, and the Republic shall have no authority over or any direct relationship with the trustee paying agent or any such trustee paying agent.  If the Republic issues Certificated Securities and so long as any of the Securities are outstanding, the Trustee shall appoint, at the expense of the Republic, a trustee paying agent and a transfer agent in a Western European city for payment on and transfers of the Securities (which will be Luxembourg, so long as the Securities are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of such Exchange so require).
 
(e)           All money paid to the Trustee pursuant to these Terms shall be held by it in trust exclusively for itself and the Holders of the Securities in accordance with their respective interests to be applied by the Trustee to payments due on the Securities or to the Trustee at the time and in the manner provided for in these Terms and in the Indenture, and the Holders of the Securities may, subject to the next sentence, look only to the Trustee for any payment to which the Holders may be entitled.  Any monies deposited with the Trustee for the payment of the principal of or interest (including Additional Amounts) on any Security remaining unclaimed for ten years (in the case of principal) or five years (in the case of interest) or, in either case, any shorter prescrip tion period provided by law after such principal or interest shall have become due and payable shall be repaid to the Republic upon written request without interest, and the Holder of any such Security may thereafter look only to the Republic for any payment to which such Holder may be entitled.

4.           Status and Negative Pledge Covenant.  c)  The Securities will constitute the direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Republic.  The Securities will rank pari passu and without any preference among themselves and with each other Series of Debt Securities issued under the Indenture by reason of priority of date of issue or currency of payment or otherwise, and at least equally with all other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated External Indebtedness (as defined herein) of the Republic.
 
(b)           So long as any Security remains Outstanding (as defined in Paragraph 21(f) below), save for the exceptions set forth below, the Republic will not create or permit to subsist any lien, pledge, mortgage, security interest, deed of trust, charge or other encumbrance or preferential arrangement which has the practical effect of constituting a security interest (“Lien”) upon the whole or any part of its assets or revenues to secure any Public External Indebtedness of the Republic unless, at the same time or prior thereto, the Republic’s obligations under the Securities either (i) are secured equally and ratably therewith, or (ii) have the benefit of such other security, guarantee, indemnity or other arrangement as shall be approved by the Holders of the Securities (as provided in Paragraph 21).

(b)           Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, a Security or Securities may be exchanged for a Security or Securities of equal aggregate principal amount in such same or different authorized denominations as may be requested by the Holder, by surrender of such Security or Securities at the office of the Registrar, or at the office of any transfer agent, together with a written request for the exchange.  Any registration of transfer or exchange shall be effected upon the Republic being satisfied with the documents of title and identity of the person making the request and subject to such reasonable regulations as the Republic may from time to time agree with the Trustee.

(d)           No service charge will be imposed upon the Holder of a Security in connection with exchanges for Securities of a different denomination or for registration of transfers thereof, but the Republic and the Trustee may charge the party requesting any registration of transfer, exchange or registration of Securities a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge required to be paid in connection with such transfer, exchange or registration.
 
9.           Trustee.  For a description of the duties and the immunities and rights of the Trustee under the Indenture, reference is made to the Indenture, and the obligations of the Trustee to the Holder hereof are subject to such immunities and rights.
 
10.           Enforcement.  Except as provided in Section 4.9 of the Indenture with respect to the right of any Holder of a Security to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on its Security on the stated maturity date for such payment expressed in such Security (as the Securities may be amended or modified pursuant to Paragraph 21), no Holder of a Security shall have any right by virtue of or by availing itself of any provision of the Indenture or the Securities to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to the Indenture or the Securities, or for any other remedy hereunder or under the Indenture, unless:

16.           Jurisdiction.  h)  Subject to Paragraph 19, the Republic irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any New York state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, and the courts of the Republic (each, a “Specified Court”) over any suit, action or proceeding against it or its properties, assets or revenues with respect to the Securities of this Series or the Indenture (a “Related Proceeding”).  The Republic agrees that a final non-appealable judgment in any Related Proceeding (the “Related Judgment”) shall be conclusive and binding upon it and may be enforced in any Specified Court or in any other courts to the jurisdiction of which the Republic is or may be subject (the “Other Courts”), by a suit upon such judgment.
 
(b)           The Republic hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to Related Proceedings brought in a Specified Court whether on the grounds of venue, residence or domicile or on the ground that the Related Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum.
 
17.           Consent to Service.  Subject to Paragraph 19, the Republic hereby appoints Banco de la Nación Argentina, at its office located at 225 Park Avenue, New York, New York, 10169, and, if such person is not maintained by the Republic as its agent for such purpose, the Republic will appoint CT Corporation System, to act as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon whom process may be served in any Related Proceeding or any action or proceeding to enforce or execute any Related Judgment brought against it in any New York state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York.  Su ch appointment shall be irrevocable until all amounts in respect of the principal of and any interest due and to become due on or in respect of all the Securities have been provided to the Trustee pursuant to the terms hereof and the Trustee has given notice to the Holders in accordance with the terms hereof of the availability of such amounts for payment to the Holders, except that, if for any reason, such Authorized Agent ceases to be able to act as Authorized Agent or to have an address in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, the Republic will appoint another person in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, selected in its discretion, as such Authorized Agent.  Prior to the date of issuance of any Securities of this Series, the Republic shall obtain the consent of Banco de la Nación Argentina to its appointment as such Authorized Agent, a copy of which acceptance it shall provide to the Trustee.  The Republic shall take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary to continue such appointment or appointments in full force and effect as aforesaid.  Service of process upon the Authorized Agent at the address indicated above, as such address may be changed within the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, by notice given by the Authorized Agent to each party hereto, shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Republic.

R-12

 
18.           Waiver of Immunity.  i)  Subject to Paragraph 19, to the extent that the Republic or any of its revenues, assets or properties shall be entitled, in any jurisdiction in which any Specified Court is located, in which any Related Proceeding may at any time be brought against it or any of its revenues, assets or properties, or in any jurisdiction in which any Specified Court or Other Court is located in which any suit, action or proceeding may at any time be brought solely for the purpose of enforcing or executing any Related Judgment, to any immunity from suit, from the jurisdiction of any such court, from set-off, from attachment prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution of judgment, from execution of a judgment or from any other legal or judicial process or remedy, and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there shall be attributed such an immunity, the Republic irrevocably waives such immunity to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction, including the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (the “Immunities Act”) (and consents to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with any Related Proceeding or Related Judgment as permitted by applicable law, including the Immunities Act), provided that such waiver shall not extend to and the Republic shall be immune in respect of and in relation to any suit, action or proceeding or enforcement of any Related Judgment against (i) reserves of the Central Bank of the Republic (Banco Central de la República Argentina), (ii) property in the public domain located in the territory of the Republic that falls within the purview of Sections 2337 and 2340 of the Civil Code of the Republic, including but not limited to Argentine waterways, public works, archeological ruins and sites of scientific interest, (iii) property located in or outside the territory of the Republic that provides an essential public service, (iv) property (whether in the form of cash, bank deposits, securities, third party obligations or any other methods of payment) of the Argentine government, its governmental agencies and other governmental entities relating to the performance of the budget, within the purview of Sections 131 to 136 of Law No. 11,672, Complementaria Permanente de Presupuesto (t.o. 2005), (v) property entitled to the privileges and immunities of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961, including but not limited to the property, pr emises and accounts of Argentine missions, (vi) property entitled to the immunities of the Immunities Act, including but not limited to property of the Republic not being used by the Republic for a commercial activity in the United States, (vii) property used by a diplomatic, governmental or consular mission of the Republic (viii) property of a military character or under the control of a military authority or defense agency of the Republic or (ix) property forming part of the cultural heritage of the Republic.
 
(b)           This waiver of sovereign immunity constitutes only a limited and specific waiver for the purpose of the Securities of this Series and the Indenture and under no circumstances shall it be interpreted as a general waiver of the Republic or a waiver with respect to proceedings unrelated to the Securities of this Series or the Indenture.  Insofar as this waiver relates to the jurisdiction in which an Other Court is located, the Republic extends it solely for the purpose of enabling the Trustee or a Holder of Securities of this Series to enforce or execute a Related Judgment.
 
19.           Limitation on Actions.  The Republic reserves the right to plead sovereign immunity under the Immunities Act with respect to actions brought against it under the U.S. federal securities laws or any state securities laws and the appointment of an Authorized Agent does not extend to such actions, but without prejudice to the rights of the Trustee or the other specified persons to the indemnification and contribution as set forth in Section 5.6 of the Indenture.

1.           General.  a)  This Security is one of a duly authorized series of debt securities (each, a “Series”) of The Republic of Argentina (the “Republic”), designated as its Euro-Denominated Par Bonds due 2038 (each Security of this Series a “Security,” and collectively, the “Securities”), and issued or to be issued in one or more Series (such Series collectively, the “Debt Securities”) pursuant to a Trust Indenture dated as of June 2, 2005, between the Republic and The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly known as The Bank of New York), as Trustee (the “Trustee”) (as amended by the first supplemental indenture, dated as of April 30, 2010, and as further amended from time to time, the “Indenture”).  [The Securities shall, for purposes of voting on Modifications (as defined below) and on acceleration of maturity or remedies upon an Event of Default (as defined below) form a single Series with, but shall not trade fungibly with, the Republic’s € [●] Euro-Denominated Par Bonds due 2038 (ISIN: [XS0501195993] [XS0501196025]) issued by the Republic in September 2010.]  The Holders (as defined below) of the Securities will be entitled to the benefits of, be bound by, and be deemed to have notice of, all of the provisions of the Indenture.  A copy of the Indenture is on file and may be inspected at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in the City of New York.  Subject to Paragraph 14, the Republic hereby certifies and warrants that all acts, conditions and things required to be done and performed and to have happened precedent to the creation, execution and, as applicable, issuance of the Indenture and the Securities and to constitute the same legal, valid and binding obligations of the Republic enforceable in accordance with their terms, have been done and performed and have happened in due and strict compliance with all applicable laws.  All capitalized terms used in this Security but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.  Insofar as the provisions of the Indenture may conflict with the provisions set forth in this Security, the latter shall control for pu rposes of this Security.
 
(b)           The Securities are issuable only in fully registered form without coupons and are represented by one or more registered global securities (each, a “Global Security”) held by or on behalf of the Person or Persons that are designated, pursuant to the Indenture, by the Republic to act as depositary for such Global Securities (the “Depositary”).  Securities issued in certificated form (“Certificated Securities”) will be available only in the limited circumstances set forth in the Indenture.  The Securities, and transfers thereo f, shall be registered as provided in Section 2.6 of the Indenture.  Any person in whose name a Security shall be registered (each, a “Holder”) may (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) be treated at all times, by all persons and for all purposes as the absolute owner of such Security regardless of any notice of ownership, theft, loss or any writing thereon.
 
(c)           The Securities are issuable in authorized denominations of €1.00 and integral multiples of €1.00 in excess thereof.
 
(d)           As used herein, the following terms have the meanings set forth below:
 
 
R-1

 
Business Day means any day other than (i) a Saturday or a Sunday or (ii) a day on which banking institutions or trust companies are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close in the City of Buenos Aires, or (iii) a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (“TARGET”) System, or any successor thereto, is closed for business.
 
2.           Payments and Trustee Paying Agents.  b) Principal of and interest on the Securities will be payable in the single currency adopted by those states participating in European Monetary Union from time to time.  Payments of principal of and interest on each Security will be made in immediately available funds to the person in whose name such Security is registered at the close of business on the Record Date (as defined below) for the relevant Principal Payment Date and Interest Payment Date, respectively.  The Republic will make payments of principal of and interest on the Securities by (i) providing the Trustee or trustee paying agent (as defined below) the amount of such payment, in immediately available funds, not later than 1:00 P.M. local time at the place of payment, not later than the Business Day prior to each Principal Payment Date or Interest Payment Date, as applicable; and (ii) directing the Trustee to hold these funds in trust for the Trustee and the beneficial owners of the Securities in accordance with their respective interests and to make a wire transfer of such amount to The Bank of New York Depositary (Nominees) Limited, as the registered owner of the Securities, which will receive the funds in trust for distribution to the beneficial owners of the Securities; provided that the Republic may, subject to applicable laws and regulations, make payments of principal of and interest on the Securities by mailing, or directing the Trustee to mail, from funds made available by the Republic for such purpose, a check to the person entitled thereto, on or before the due date for the payment at the address that appears on the security register maintained by the Registrar on the applicable record date.
 
The record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date or Principal Payment Date will be the Business Day prior to such date (each such day, a “Record Date”).  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Republic’s obligation to make payments of principal of and interest on the Securities shall not have been satisfied until such payments are received by the Holders of the Securities and (ii) Holders shall be entitled to receive the last installment of principal payable by the Republic hereunder only upon surrender of this Security to the Trustee or a trustee paying agent for cancellation thereof.
 
None of the Republic, the Trustee or any paying agent that shall be appointed by the Trustee at the expense of the Republic (each, a “trustee paying agent”) will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in the Securities or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.
 
(b)           Any payment of principal or interest required to be made on a Principal Payment Date or Interest Payment Date, as applicable, that is not a Business Day need not be made on such day, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Principal Payment Date or Interest Payment Date, and no interest will accrue with respect to any such principal payment for the period from and after such Principal Payment Date.
 
 
R-2

 
(c)           Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
 
(d)           The Trustee shall maintain, at the Republic’s expense, a trustee paying agent in a member state of the European Union that is not obliged to deduct or withhold tax pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other Directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of November 26-27, 2000 on the taxation of savings income or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive.  The Trustee has initially appointed The Bank of New York Mellon (One Canada Square, London E14 5AL) to serve as its trustee paying agent and transfer agent in London.  Subject to the foregoing, the Republic shall have the right at any time t o instruct the Trustee to terminate any such appointment and to appoint any other paying agents or transfer agents in such other places as it may deem appropriate for the purpose of making payments for the exclusive benefit of Holders.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the trustee paying agent and any trustee paying agent appointed hereunder shall be agents solely of the Trustee, and the Republic shall have no authority over or any direct relationship with the trustee paying agent or any such trustee paying agent.  If the Republic issues Certificated Securities and so long as any of the Securities are outstanding, the Trustee shall appoint, at the expense of the Republic, a trustee paying agent and a transfer agent in a Western European city for payment on and transfers of the Securities (which will be Luxembourg, so long as the Securities are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of such Exchange so require).
 
(e)           All money paid to the Trustee pursuant to these Terms shall be held by it in trust exclusively for itself and the Holders of the Securities in accordance with their respective interests to be applied by the Trustee to payments due on the Securities or to the Trustee at the time and in the manner provided for in these Terms and in the Indenture, and the Holders of the Securities may, subject to the next sentence, look only to the Trustee for any payment to which the Holders may be entitled.  Any monies deposited with the Trustee for the payment of the principal of or interest (including Additional Amounts) on any Security remaining unclaimed for ten years (in the case of principal) or five years (in the case of interest) or, in either case, any shorter prescrip tion period provided by law after such principal or interest shall have become due and payable shall be repaid to the Republic upon written request without interest, and the Holder of any such Security may thereafter look only to the Republic for any payment to which such Holder may be entitled.
 
3.           Taxation.  All payments of principal of and interest on this Security by the Republic shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the Republic or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax (together “Taxes”), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law.  In such event, the Republic shall pay to the registered Holders of this Security such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as will result in receipt by such Holders of such amounts of principal, premium and interest as would have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required; except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to any Security (i) to a Holder (or to a third party on behalf of a Holder) where such Holder is liable for such Taxes in respect of this Security by reason of such Holder having some connection with the Republic other than the mere holding of this Security or the receipt of principal or interest in respect thereof; (ii) where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of November 26-27, 2000 on the taxation of savings income or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Direc tive; (iii) presented for payment by or on behalf of a Holder who would have been able to avoid the withholding or deduction by presenting this Security to another trustee paying agent in a member state of the European Union or (iv) presented for payment more than 30 days after the Relevant Date, as defined herein, except to the extent that the Holder thereof would have been entitled to Additional Amounts on presenting the same for payment on the last day of such period of 30 days.
 
 
R-3

 
Relevant Date” in respect of any payment on this Security means the date on which such payment becomes due or (if the full amount of the money payable on such date has not been received by the Trustee on or prior to such due date) the date on which notice is duly given to the Holders that such moneys have been so received and are available for payment.  Any reference herein to “principal” and/or “interest” shall be deemed to include any Additional Amounts which may be payable on this Security.
 
4.           Status and Negative Pledge Covenant.  c)  The Securities will constitute the direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Republic.  The Securities will rank pari passu and without any preference among themselves and with each other Series of Debt Securities issued under the Indenture by reason of priority of date of issue or currency of payment or otherwise, and at least equally with all other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated External Indebtedness (as defined herein) of the Republic.
 
(b)           So long as any Security remains Outstanding (as defined in Paragraph 21(f) below), save for the exceptions set forth below, the Republic will not create or permit to subsist any lien, pledge, mortgage, security interest, deed of trust, charge or other encumbrance or preferential arrangement which has the practical effect of constituting a security interest (“Lien”) upon the whole or any part of its assets or revenues to secure any Public External Indebtedness of the Republic unless, at the same time or prior thereto, the Republic’s obligations under the Securities either (i) are secured equally and ratably therewith, or (ii) have the benefit of such other security, guarantee, indemnity or other arrangement as shall be approved by the Holders of the Securities (as provided in Paragraph 21).
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Republic may permit to subsist:
 
(i)           any Lien upon property to secure Public External Indebtedness of the Republic incurred for the purpose of financing the acquisition of such property and any renewal or extension of any such Lien that is limited to the original property covered thereby and that secures any renewal or extension of the original secured financing;

(iv)           any Lien in existence on the date of the Indenture;
 
(v)           any Lien securing Public External Indebtedness of the Republic issued upon surrender or cancellation of any of the 1992 Par and Discount Bonds or the principal amount of any indebtedness outstanding as of June 23, 1992, in each case, to the extent such Lien is created to secure such Public External Indebtedness on a basis comparable to the 1992 Par and Discount Bonds;
 
(vi)           any Lien on any of the 1992 Par and Discount Bonds; and

6.           Rights upon Future Offers.  e) Subject to Paragraph 6(b) below, if at any time on or prior to December 31, 2014, the Republic voluntarily makes an offer to purchase or exchange (a “Future Exchange Offer”), or solicits consents to amend (a “Future Amendment Process”), any outstanding securities of the Republic listed in Schedule B hereto (“Non-Performing Securities”), other than any Future Exchange Offer or Future Amendment Process on terms substantially the same as, or less favorable than, the Republic’s April 30, 2010 invitation to holders of certain eligible securities to exchange such eligible securities for certain new securities (the “2010 Exchange Offer”), each Holder of Securities shall have the right, for a period of 30 calendar days following the announcement of any such Future Exchange Offer or Future Amendment Process, to exchange any of such Holder’s Securities for (as applicable):
 
 
R-7

 
(i)           the consideration in cash or in kind received by holders of Non-Performing Securities in connection with any such Future Exchange Offer, or
 
(ii)           debt obligations having terms substantially the same as those resulting from any such Future Amendment Process,

(b)           Each Holder’s right to participate in any Future Exchange Offer or Future Amendment Process as provided in Paragraph 6(a), and the Republic’s obligation to take all actions necessary to enable such participation, shall be conditioned upon such Holder (i) surrendering to the Trustee cash in an amount equal to 7.03% of the principal amount of Securities such holder wishes to exchange and (ii) either (A) surrendering to the Trustee, for cancellation, GDP-linked Securities in a notional amount equal to the principal amount of the Securities such Holder wishes to exchange pursuant to or in connection with such Future Exchange Offer or Future Amendment Process; or (B) paying cash to the Republic in an amount equal to the market price of such GDP-linked Securities calculated on the Market Observation Date (as defined below) that is at least one month before but closest to the announcement of such Future Exchange Offer or Future Amendment Process, as the case may be; provided that, with respect to clause (b)(ii)(B) above, the Holder may pay such cash to the Republic in lieu of surrendering to the Trustee the GDP-linked Securities specified in clause (b)(ii)(A) above, only if an active trading market and published secondary market price quotations exist for GDP-linked Securities.  “Market Observation Date” means, in respect of any GDP-linked Securities, the last day of each month, as of which dates the Trustee shall calculate the market price of such GDP-linked Securities for purposes of this Paragraph 6(b)(ii).  “GDP-Linked Securities” means, for purposes of this Paragraph 6(b), Euro-Denominated GDP-Linked Securities governed by English law issued by the Republic (ISIN XS0209139244).
 
7.           Purchase of the Securities by the Republic.  The Republic may at any time purchase or acquire any of the Securities in any manner and at any price in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.  Securities that are purchased or acquired by the Republic may, at the Republic’s discretion, be held, resold or surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, but any Security so purchased by the Republic may not be re-issued or resold except in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable law.
 
 
R-8

 
8.           Replacement, Exchange and Transfer of Securities.  f) If any Security becomes mutilated or is defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver a new Security, on such terms as the Republic and the Trustee may require, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced Security or in lieu of and in substitution for the destroyed, lost or stolen Security.  In every case of mutilation, defacement, destruction, loss or theft, the applicant for a substitute Security must furnish to the Republic and the Trustee such indemnity as the Republic and the Trustee may require and evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.  In every case of mutilation or defacement of a Security, the Holder must surrender to the Trustee the Security so mutilated or defaced.  In addition, prior to the issuance of any substitute Security, the Republic may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other 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 therewith.  If any Security that has matured or is scheduled to mature within 15 days becomes mutilated or defaced or is apparently destroyed, lost or stolen, the Republic may pay or authorize payment of such Security without issuing a substitute Security.
 
(b)           Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, a Security or Securities may be exchanged for a Security or Securities of equal aggregate principal amount in such same or different authorized denominations as may be requested by the Holder, by surrender of such Security or Securities at the office of the Registrar, or at the office of any transfer agent, together with a written request for the exchange.  Any registration of transfer or exchange shall be effected upon the Republic being satisfied with the documents of title and identity of the person making the request and subject to such reasonable regulations as the Republic may from time to time agree with the Trustee.
 
(c)           Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, a Security may be transferred in whole or in part by the Holder or Holders surrendering the Security for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in the City of New York or at the office of any transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Republic and the Registrar or any such transfer agent, as the case may be, duly executed by the Holder or Holders thereof or its attorney-in-fact or attorneys-in-fact duly authorized in writing.
 
(d)           No service charge will be imposed upon the Holder of a Security in connection with exchanges for Securities of a different denomination or for registration of transfers thereof, but the Republic and the Trustee may charge the party requesting any registration of transfer, exchange or registration of Securities a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge required to be paid in connection with such transfer, exchange or registration.
 
9.           Trustee.  For a description of the duties and the immunities and rights of the Trustee under the Indenture, reference is made to the Indenture, and the obligations of the Trustee to the Holder hereof are subject to such immunities and rights.
 
 
R-9

 
10.           Enforcement.  Except as provided in Section 4.9 of the Indenture with respect to the right of any Holder of a Security to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on its Security on the stated maturity date for such payment expressed in such Security (as the Securities may be amended or modified pursuant to Paragraph 21), no Holder of a Security shall have any right by virtue of or by availing itself of any provision of the Indenture or the Securities to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to the Indenture or the Securities, or for any other remedy hereunder or under the Indenture, unless:
 
(a)           such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and of the continuance thereof with respect to the Securities;
 
(b)           the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee under the Indenture;
 
(c)           such Holder or Holders shall have provided to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity and/or security as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby;
 
(d)           the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and provision of indemnity and/or security shall have failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; and

16.           Jurisdiction.  h)  Subject to Paragraph 19, the Republic irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and the courts of the Republic (each, a “Specified Court”) over any suit, action or proceeding against it or its properties, assets or revenues with respect to the Securities of this Series or the Indenture (a “Related Proceeding”).  The Republic agrees that a final non-appealable judgment in any Related Proceeding (the “Related Judgment”) shall be conclusive and binding upon it and may be enforced in any Specified Court or in any other courts to the jurisdiction of which the Republic is or may be subject (the “Other Courts”), by a suit upon such judgment.
 
(b)           The Republic hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to Related Proceedings brought in a Specified Court whether on the grounds of venue, residence or domicile or on the ground that the Related Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum.
 
17.           Consent to Service.  Subject to Paragraph 19, the Republic hereby appoints the Embassy of the Republic of Argentina in the United Kingdom, at its office located at 65 Brook Street, London, W1K 4AH, United Kingdom, and, if such person is not maintained by the Republic as its agent for such purpose, the Republic will appoint the Consulate of the Republic of Argentina in the United Kingdom, presently located at 27 Three Kings Yard, London, W1K 4DF, United Kingdom, to act as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon whom process may be served in any Related Proceeding or any action or proceeding to enforce or execut e any Related Judgment brought against it in any English Court.  Such appointment shall be irrevocable until all amounts in respect of the principal of and any interest due and to become due on or in respect of all the Securities have been provided to the Trustee pursuant to the terms hereof and the Trustee has given notice to the Holders in accordance with the terms hereof of the availability of such amounts for payment to the Holders, except that, if for any reason, such Authorized Agent ceases to be able to act as Authorized Agent or to have an address in the City of London, the Republic will appoint another person in the City of London, selected in its discretion, as such Authorized Agent.  Prior to the date of issuance of any Securities of this Series, the Republic shall obtain the consent of the Embassy of the Republic of Argentina to its appointment as such Authorized Agent, a copy of which acceptance it shall provide to the Trustee.  The Republic shall take any and all a ction, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary to continue such appointment or appointments in full force and effect as aforesaid.  Service of process upon the Authorized Agent at the address indicated above, as such address may be changed within the City of London, by notice given by the Authorized Agent to each party hereto, shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Republic.
 
Nothing in this Paragraph 17 shall affect the right of the Trustee or (in connection with legal action or proceedings by any Holder as permitted by the Indenture and this Security) any Holder to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of the Trustee or any such Holder to bring any action or proceeding against the Republic or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions.

R-12

 
18.           Waiver of Immunity.  i)  Subject to Paragraph 19, to the extent that the Republic or any of its revenues, assets or properties shall be entitled, in any jurisdiction in which any Specified Court is located, in which any Related Proceeding may at any time be brought against it or any of its revenues, assets or properties, or in any jurisdiction in which any Specified Court or Other Court is located in which any suit, action or proceeding may at any time be brought solely for the purpose of enforcing or executing any Related Judgment, to any immunity from suit, from the jurisdiction of any such court, from set-off, from attachment prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution of judgment, from execution of a judgment or from any other legal or judicial process or remedy, and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there shall be attributed such an immunity, the Republic irrevocably waives such immunity to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction, including the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (the “Immunities Act”) (and consents to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with any Related Proceeding or Related Judgment as permitted by applicable law, including the Immunities Act), provided that such waiver shall not extend to and the Republic shall be immune in respect of and in relation to any suit, action or proceeding or enforcement of any Related Judgment against (i) reserves of the Central Bank of the Republic (Banco Central de la República Argentina), (ii) property in the public domain located in the territory of the Republic that falls within the purview of Sections 2337 and 2340 of the Civil Code of the Republic, including but not limited to Argentine waterways, public works, archeological ruins and sites of scientific interest, (iii) property located in or outside the territory of the Republic that provides an essential public service, (iv) property (whether in the form of cash, bank deposits, securities, third party obligations or any other methods of payment) of the Argentine government, its governmental agencies and other governmental entities relating to the performance of the budget, within the purview of Sections 131 to 136 of Law No. 11,672, Complementaria Permanente de Presupuesto (t.o. 2005), (v) property entitled to the privileges and immunities of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961, including but not limited to the property, pr emises and accounts of Argentine missions, (vi) property entitled to the immunities of the Immunities Act, including but not limited to property of the Republic not being used by the Republic for a commercial activity in the United States, (vii) property used by a diplomatic, governmental or consular mission of the Republic (viii) property of a military character or under the control of a military authority or defense agency of the Republic or (ix) property forming part of the cultural heritage of the Republic.
 
(b)           This waiver of sovereign immunity constitutes only a limited and specific waiver for the purpose of the Securities of this Series and the Indenture and under no circumstances shall it be interpreted as a general waiver of the Republic or a waiver with respect to proceedings unrelated to the Securities of this Series or the Indenture.  Insofar as this waiver relates to the jurisdiction in which an Other Court is located, the Republic extends it solely for the purpose of enabling the Trustee or a Holder of Securities of this Series to enforce or execute a Related Judgment.
 
19.           Limitation on Actions.  The Republic reserves the right to plead sovereign immunity under the Immunities Act with respect to actions brought against it under the U.S. federal securities laws or any state securities laws and the appointment of an Authorized Agent does not extend to such actions, but without prejudice to the rights of the Trustee or the other specified persons to the indemnification and contribution as set forth in Section 5.6 of the Indenture.

City of Buenos Aires, Argentina
 
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
We have acted as special United States counsel to the Republic of Argentina (“Argentina”) in connection with Argentina’s invitation (the “Invitation”), pursuant to a registration statement (file No. 333-163784) (as amended, the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under Schedule B of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to the owners of its Eligible Securities (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement referred to below) and related claims to submit offers to exchange Eligible Securities for certain New Securities (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement referred to below) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus Supplement.   The New Securities governed by New York law (as such phrase is defined below) have been or are to be issued by Argentina under a trust indenture dated as of June 2, 2005 (the “Base Trust Indenture”) between Argentina and The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly known as The Bank of New York), as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture dated as of April 30, 2010 between Argentina and the Trustee (the Base Indenture and such first supplemental indenture, collectively, the “Trust Indenture”).  The prospectus dated April 13, 2010, as filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, but excluding the documents incorporated by reference therein, is herein called the “Base Prospectus;” and the related prospectus supplement dated April 28, 2010 as filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, but excluding the documents incorporated by reference therein, is herein called the “Prospectus Supplement.”  The Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement together are herein called the “Prospectus.”
 
 
 

 
The Republic of Argentina, p. 2
 
 
In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have reviewed the following documents:
 
 
(a)
the Registration Statement and the Prospectus;
 
 
(b)
an executed copy of the Trust Indenture;
          
 
(c)
facsimile copies of the New Securities specified on Schedule I in global form (collectively, the “New Securities governed by New York law”) delivered on the Early Settlement Date and the Final Settlement Date (as each such term is defined in the Prospectus Supplement) as executed by Argentina; and
 
 
(d)
executed copies of the authorizations under the Trust Indenture pursuant to which the terms of the New Securities governed by New York law have been established.
 
In addition, we have reviewed the originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of all such other documents, and we have made such investigations of law, as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions expressed below.
 
In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies.  In addition, we have assumed and have not verified (i) the accuracy as to factual matters of each document we have reviewed and (ii) that the New Securities governed by New York law have been or will be duly authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Trust Indenture.
 
Based on the foregoing, and subject to the further qualifications and limitations set forth below, it is our opinion that the New Securities governed by New York law constitute valid, binding and enforceable obligations of Argentina.
 
In giving the foregoing opinion, (a) we have assumed that each of Argentina and the Trustee has satisfied those legal requirements that are applicable to it to the extent necessary to make the Trust Indenture and the New Securities governed by New York law enforceable against the parties thereto (except that no such assumption is made as to Argentina regarding matters of the federal law of the United States of America or the law of the State of New York that in our experience normally would be applicable with respect to the Trust Indenture or the New Securities governed by New York law), (b) such opinion is subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity and (c) such opinion is subject to the effect of judicial application of foreign laws or for eign governmental actions affecting creditors’ rights.

We note that (i) the enforceability of the waiver of immunities by Argentina set forth in Section 12.10 of the Trust Indenture and the corresponding provisions of the New Securities governed by New York law is subject to the limitations imposed by the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 and (ii) the designation in Section 12.8(a) of the Trust Indenture and the corresponding provisions of the New Securities governed by New York law of the U.S. federal courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as the venue for actions or proceedings relating to the New Securities governed by New York law is (notwithstanding the waiver in or pursuant to Section 12.8(b) of the Trust Indenture and the corresponding provisions of the New Securities governed by New York law) subject to the power of such courts to trans fer actions pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1404(a) or to dismiss such actions or proceedings on the grounds that such federal court is an inconvenient forum for such an action or proceeding.
 
The foregoing opinions are limited to the federal law of the United States of America and the law of the State of New York.
 
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to Post Effective Amendment No. 3 and to the references to us under the heading “Validity of the Securities” in the Prospectus.  In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are experts with respect to any part of the Registration Statement, including this exhibit, within the meaning of the term “expert” as used in the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations of the Commission issued thereunder.  The opinions expressed herein are rendered on and as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to advise you, or to make any investigations, as to any legal developments or factual matters arising subsequent to the date hereof that might affect the opinions expressed herein.

The Republic of Argentina
Ministry of Economy
Hipolito Yrigoyen 250
City of Buenos Aires, Argentina
 
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
We have acted as special English counsel to the Republic of Argentina (“Argentina”) in connection with Argentina’s invitation (the “Invitation”), pursuant to a registration statement (file No. 333-163784) (as amended, the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under Schedule B of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to the owners of its Eligible Securities (as defined in th e Prospectus Supplement referred to below) and related claims to submit offers to exchange Eligible Securities for certain New Securities (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement referred to below) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus Supplement.  The New Securities governed by English law (as such phrase is defined below) are to be issued under a trust indenture dated as of June 2, 2005 (the “Base Trust Indenture”) between Argentina and The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly known as The Bank of New York), as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture dated as of April 30, 2010 between Argentina and the Trustee (the Base Indenture and such first supplemental indenture collectively the “Trust Indenture”).& #160; The prospectus dated April 13, 2010, as filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, but excluding the documents incorporated by reference therein, is herein called the “Base Prospectus;” and the related prospectus supplement dated April 28, 2010 as filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, but excluding the documents incorporated by reference therein, is herein called the “Prospectus Supplement.”  The Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement together are herein called the “Prospectus.”
 
 
 

 
2
 
 
In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have reviewed the following documents:
 
(a)  
The Registration Statement and the Prospectus;
 
(b)  
an executed copy of the Trust Indenture; and
 
(c)  
the forms of the Euro-denominated 7.82% Discount Bonds due 2033, the Euro-denominated Par Bonds due 2038 and the Euro-denominated GDP-linked Securities (each as defined in the Prospectus) to be issued on the Final Settlement Date (as defined in the Prospectus) (collectively, the “New Securities governed by English law”).
 
In rendering the opinions expressed below we have assumed and not verified:
 
(a)  
the genuineness of all signatures, stamps and seals, the authenticity and completeness of all documents supplied to us and the conformity to the originals of all documents supplied to us as photocopies or facsimile copies;
 
(b)  
that, where a document has been examined by us in draft, specimen or certificated form, it has been or will be executed in the form of that draft, specimen or certificate and, in the case of the New Securities governed by English law, that they have been or will be duly executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Trust Indenture;
 
(c)  
that the Trust Indenture and the New Securities governed by English law have been or will be duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of each of the parties thereto and each such party has the power, capacity and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations contained in each of the Trust Indenture and the New Securities governed by English law to which it is or will be a party;
 
(d)  
the absence of any other arrangements between any of the parties to the Trust Indenture or the New Securities governed by English law which modify or supersede any of the terms of the Trust Indenture or the New Securities governed by English law;
 
(e)  
the accuracy as to factual matters of each document we have reviewed, including, without limitation, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each of the parties to the Trust Indenture and the New Securities governed by English law, and the compliance and satisfaction by each of the parties thereto with each of their respective obligations and conditions precedent thereunder;
 
 
 

 
3
 
 
(f)  
that where a document is required to be delivered, each party to it has delivered the same without it being subject to any escrow or other similar arrangement;
 
(g)  
that each of the parties to the Trust Indenture and the New Securities governed by English law has fully complied with its obligations under all applicable money laundering legislation;
 
(h)  
that the binding effect of the Trust Indenture and the New Securities governed by English law on the parties thereto is not affected by duress, undue influence or mistake, and no document has been entered into by any of the parties thereto in connection with any unlawful activity;
 
(i)  
that all consents, approvals, notices, filings and registrations which are necessary under any applicable laws or regulations (other than laws or regulations of the United Kingdom) in order to permit the execution, delivery or performance of the Trust Indenture and the New Securities governed by English law have been or will be duly made or obtained;
 
(j)  
that there are no provisions of the laws of any jurisdiction outside England and Wales that would have any implication for the opinions we express and that, insofar as the laws of any jurisdiction outside England and Wales may be relevant to this opinion letter, such laws have been and will be complied with;
 
(k)  
that each of the parties to the Trust Indenture and the New Securities governed by English law has complied with all applicable provisions of Directive 2003/71/EC of the European Parliament (the “Prospectus Directive”) as it applies and as implemented in the United Kingdom, the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (“FSMA”) and any applicable secondary legislation made under it with respect to anything done by any of them in relation to the Invitation in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom (including Sections 19 (carrying on a regulated activity), 21 (financial promotion), 85 (public offers) and 118 (market abuse) of FSMA));
 
(l)  
that the choice of the laws to govern the Trust Indenture and the New Securities governed by English law was freely made in good faith by the respective parties and there is no reason for avoiding such choice on the grounds of public policy; and
 
(m)  
that any provision of the Trust Indenture and the New Securities governed by English law that is expressed to be governed by the laws of any jurisdiction other than England and Wales is valid, binding and enforceable under the laws of such other jurisdiction.
 
 
 

 
4
 
 
Based on the foregoing, and subject to the further qualifications and limitations set forth below, it is our opinion that the New Securities governed by English law (when duly executed, authenticated and delivered in the manner described in the Trust Indenture and when if so required registered in the register maintained for that purpose) constitute valid, binding and enforceable obligations of Argentina.
 
The expression “enforceable” as used in the opinion above means that the obligations assumed by the relevant party under the relevant document are of a type which English courts enforce.  It does not mean that those obligations will necessarily be enforced in all circumstances in accordance with their terms.  In particular, but without limitation:
 
(a)  
The opinion set forth above as regards the binding effect and validity of the obligations and their enforceability against contracting parties is subject to all limitations resulting from the laws of bankruptcy, administration, liquidation, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganisation, moratorium, suretyship or any similar laws of general application affecting creditors’ rights.
 
(b)  
Enforcement may be limited by general principles of equity.  For example, equitable remedies may not be available where damages are considered to be an adequate remedy.
 
(c)  
Where any obligations of any person are to be performed or observed in jurisdictions outside England and Wales, or by a person subject to the laws of a jurisdiction outside England and Wales, such obligations may not be enforceable under English law to the extent that the performance or observance thereof would be illegal or contrary to public policy under the laws of any such jurisdiction.
 
(d)  
The power of an English court to order specific performance of an obligation or to grant injunctive relief or any equitable remedy is discretionary and, accordingly, we express no opinion as to whether such remedies would be available in respect of any of the obligations of the contracting parties. Specific performance is not usually ordered and an injunction not usually granted where damages would be regarded by the court as an adequate alternative remedy.
 
(e)  
Except in those cases where jurisdiction is determined in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) n°44/2001 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters, the provisions of the Brussels Convention on jurisdiction in civil and commercial matters of 1968, or the provisions of the Lugano Convention on jurisdiction and the enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters of 1988, an English court has power to stay an action where it is shown that it can, without injustice to the plaintiff, be tried in a more convenient forum.
 
 
 

 
5
 
 
(f)  
Any provision providing that any calculation, certification, determination, notification, minute or opinion will be conclusive and binding will not be effective if such calculation, certification, determination, notification, minute or opinion is fraudulent or made on an unreasonable or arbitrary basis or in the event of manifest error despite any provision to the contrary and it will not necessarily prevent judicial enquiry into the merits of any claim by any party thereto.
 
(g)  
Where any person is vested with a discretion, or may determine any matter in its opinion, English law may require that such discretion is exercised reasonably or that such opinion is based on reasonable grounds.
 
(h)  
Any provision for the payment of liquidated damages, compensation, additional interest or similar amounts might be held to be unenforceable on the ground that it is a penalty.
 
(i)  
Any undertaking or indemnity may be void insofar as it relates to stamp duty payable in the United Kingdom.
 
(j)  
An English court may refuse to give effect to any provision of an agreement that amounts to an indemnity in respect of the costs of enforcement or of unsuccessful litigation brought before an English court or where the court has itself made an order for costs.
 
(k)  
Certain terms and concepts, although often found in commercial documents, have yet to be clearly defined by the English courts. For example, the term “gross negligence” has never been accepted by the English civil courts as a concept distinct from simple negligence. To the extent that the Trust Indenture and the New Securities governed by English law contain any such terms or concepts, their meaning will be a matter of construction for an English court.
 
(l)  
Any question as to whether or not any provision of any agreement or instrument which is illegal, invalid, not binding, unenforceable or void may be severed from the other provisions thereof in order to save those other provisions would be determined by an English court in its discretion.
 
(m)  
There is some possibility that an English court would hold that a judgment on a particular agreement or instrument, whether given in an English court or elsewhere, would supersede such agreement or instrument to all intents and purposes, so that any obligation thereunder which by its terms would survive such judgment might not be held to do so.
 
 
 

 
6
 
 
(n)  
Enforcement of rights may be or become limited by prescription or by lapse of time or may become subject to defences of set-off or counterclaim.
 
(o)  
Any person who is not a party to a contract governed by English law may not be able to enforce any provisions of that contract which are expressed to be for the benefit of that person if and to the extent that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 has been disapplied.
 
(p)  
The effectiveness of terms exculpating a party from a liability or duty otherwise owed is limited by law.
 
(q)  
An English court is able, where the amount of a claim is denominated in a currency other than sterling, to give judgment in that other currency, as a matter of current procedural practice and at its own discretion.
 
(r)  
There is some possibility that an English court having jurisdiction in relation to insolvency law would apply the provisions of Section 426 of the Insolvency Act 1986 (Co-operation between courts exercising jurisdiction in relation to insolvency) in assisting the courts having the corresponding jurisdiction in any other part of the United Kingdom or any relevant country or territory (as such terms are defined in that section) (in this regard we refer you to Hughes v. Hannover Ruckversicherungs-Aktiengesellschaft [1997] 1 BCLC 497) and, as a result, may, rather than apply insolvency law as it would otherwise apply in England, apply the insolvency law which is applicable in such other part of the Uni ted Kingdom or relevant country or territory in relation to comparable matters.
 
(s)  
An English court may refuse to give effect to a claim pursuant to an indemnity or contribution provision insofar as the subject matter of such claim relates to penalties imposed under Section 91 (breach of Part 6 rules) or Section 123 (market abuse) of FSMA or any relevant provision of FSMA imposing penalties or of the rules made under it.
 
We express no opinion as to any agreement, instrument or other document that may arise or be entered into other than as specified in this letter or as to any liability to tax that may arise or be incurred, as a result of or in connection with the Invitation or any other transaction. We have not been responsible for the investigation or verification of statements of fact (including statements as to foreign law) or the reasonableness of any statements of opinion contained in the Prospectus relating to the issue of the New Securities governed by English law, nor have we been responsible for ensuring that the Prospectus contains all material facts. We express no opinion on the terms of the Invitation contained in the Prospectus.
 
The opinion set out above is limited to the laws of England and Wales in force as at the date of this opinion letter, as currently applied by the courts in England and Wales and is given on the basis that this opinion letter will be governed by and construed in accordance with English law.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to Post Effective Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement and to the references to us under the heading “Validity of the Securities” in the Prospectus.  In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are experts with respect to any part of the Registration Statement, including this exhibit, within the meaning of the term “expert” as used in the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations of the Commission issued thereunder.  The opinions expressed herein are rendered on and as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to advise you, or to make any investigations, as to any legal developments or factual matters arising subsequent to the date hereof that might affect the opinions expressed herein.
