REVERSE OF SECURITY

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS GDP-LINKED SECURITY

     1. General. (a) This Security is one of a duly authorized series of GDP-Linked Securities (each, a “Series”) of The Republic of Argentina (the “Republic”) (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 “GDP-Linked Securities”) pursuant to a Trust Indenture dated as of April [    ], 2005 between the Republic and The Bank of New York, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended from time to time (the “Indenture”), and the GDP-Linked Securities Authorization (as defined in the Indenture) dated as of April [   ], 2005, as amended from time to time (the “GDP-Linked Securities Authorization”). 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 and the GDP-Linked Securities Authorization. A copy of each of the Indenture and the GDP-Linked Securities Authorization is on file and may be inspected at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in the City of New York. Subject to Paragraph 15, the Republic hereby certifies and warrants that all acts, conditions and things required to be done and performed and to have happened precedent to the creation, execution and, as applicable, issuance of the Indenture, the GDP-Linked Securities Authorization 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 GDP-Linked Securities Authorization and, if not defined therein, the Indenture. Insofar as the provisions of the GDP-Linked Securities Authorization or the Indenture may conflict with the provisions set forth in this Security, the latter shall control for the purposes of this Security.

     (b) Each Security shall be initially issued as part of a Unit, which will comprise this Security and a Debt Security issued pursuant to the Indenture. This Security may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred separately from such Unit until [   ], 2005 at which time the Unit will be dissolved and this Security may be independently offered, sold or otherwise transferred.

     (c) 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 thereof, 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.

     (d) The Securities are issuable in authorized denominations of U.S. $1.00 and integral multiples of U.S. $1.00 in excess thereof.

The Payment Amount shall be determined by the Ministry of Economy on the Calculation Date preceding the relevant Payment Date. All calculations made by the Ministry of Economy hereunder shall be binding on the Trustee, the Registrar, the trustee paying agent and each other trustee paying agent and all Holders of this Security, absent bad faith, willful misconduct or manifest error on the part of the Ministry of Economy.

(a) Subject to the conditions set forth in Paragraph 2(b) hereof, on each Payment Date the Republic shall pay to the person in whose name this Security is registered at the close of business on the Record Date (as defined below) for the such Payment Date, an amount equal to the Payment Amount, if any, for such Payment Date. The Republic shall make such payments in immediately available funds and 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. The Republic shall make such payments by (i) providing the Trustee or trustee paying agent the Payment Amount, if any, 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 relevant Payment Date; and (ii) directing the Trustee to hold these funds in trust for the Trustee and the beneficial owners of this Security in accordance with their respective interests and to make a wire transfer of such amount to Cede & Co., as the registered owner of this Security. Cede & Co. will receive these funds in trust for pro rata distribution among the beneficial owners of this Security based on the notional amount of this Security that each such beneficial owner holds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Republic may, subject to applicable laws and regulations, make payments due hereunder, if any, 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.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereunder, Holders of this Security shall not be entitled to receive any payment pursuant to this Security in respect of any Reference Year unless (i) Actual Real GDP for such Reference Year is greater than Base Case GDP for such Reference Year, (ii) Actual Real GDP Growth for such Reference Year is greater than Base Case GDP Growth for such Reference Year, and (iii) the aggregate amount of all payments made by

R-5

 

the Republic hereunder, when added to the amount of such payment, does not exceed the Payment Cap.

     (c) Any payment required to be made on a Payment Date that is not a Business Day (or, in the case of the Luxembourg Trustee Paying Agent, as defined in Paragraph 2(d), that is a day on which banking institutions or trust corporations in Luxembourg are required or authorized by law to close) need not be made on such day, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day (or, in the case of a Luxembourg Trustee Paying Agent, the next succeeding day on which banking institutions or trust corporations in Luxembourg are not required or authorized by law to close) with the same force and effect as if made on such Payment Date, and no interest will accrue with respect to such payment for the period from and after such Payment Date.

     (d) 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), a Registrar having a specified office in the City of New York and a trustee paying agent having a specified office in the City of New York. The Trustee has initially appointed The Bank of New York (Luxembourg) S.A., as Luxembourg Trustee Paying Agent and Transfer Agent for the Securities, and [            ], as trustee paying agent. The Trustee shall also maintain 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, 2002 on the taxation of savings income or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive. Subject to the foregoing, the Republic shall have the right at any time to instruct the Trustee to terminate any such appointment and to appoint any other paying agents or transfer agents in such other places as it may deem appropriate for the purpose of making payments for the 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.

     (e) All money paid to the Trustee pursuant to this Security shall be held by it in trust exclusively for itself and the Holders of this Security in accordance with their respective interests to be applied by the Trustee to payments due on this Security or to the Trustee at the time and in the manner provided for in these Terms, and the Holders of this Security 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 in respect of payments (including Additional Amounts) on this Security remaining unclaimed for five years or any shorter prescription period provided by law after such money in respect of payments 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 in respect of 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

R-6

 

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 Payment Amounts as would have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required; except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable hereunder (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 his having some connection with the Republic other than the mere holding of such Security or the receipt of payments 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, 2002 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 Security means the date on which payment in respect thereof becomes due or (if the full amount of the money payable on such date has not been received by the Trustee on or prior to such due date) the date on which notice is duly given to the Holders that such moneys have been so received and are available for payment. Any reference herein to Payment Amounts or payments due hereunder shall be deemed to include any Additional Amounts which may be payable on this Security.

     4. Status and Negative Pledge Covenant. (a) The Securities will constitute the direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Republic. Each Series will rank pari passu with each other Series, without any preference one over the other 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 22(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 22).

R-7

 

     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; any

renewal or extension of any such Lien which is limited to the original property covered thereby and which secures any renewal or extension of the original secured financing;

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

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

     (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

     (vii) any Lien securing Public External Indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing all or part of the costs of the acquisition, construction or development of a project; provided that (a) the holders of such Public External Indebtedness expressly agree to limit their recourse to the assets and revenues of such project as the principal source of repayment of such Public External Indebtedness and (b) the property over which such Lien is granted consists solely of such assets and revenues.

     For purposes of these Terms:

     “External Indebtedness” means obligations (other than the Securities) for borrowed money or evidenced by securities, debentures, notes or other similar instruments denominated or payable, or which at the option of the holder thereof may be payable, in a currency other than the lawful currency of the Republic, provided that no Domestic Foreign Currency Indebtedness, as defined below, shall constitute External Indebtedness.

R-8

(a) Subject to Paragraph 20, 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, the GDP-Linked Securities Authorization 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.

     18. Consent to Service. Subject to Paragraph 20, 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. 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 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.

     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

R-15

 

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. (a) 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 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, 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

R-16

 

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.

     (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 66 2/3% 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 66 2/3% 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.

R-17

 

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 66 2/3% of the aggregate notional amount of these Securities then Outstanding, or (B) with the written consent of the Holders of not less than 66 2/3% 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 Series 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

R-18

 

and the Trustee may determine that shall 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. 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 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.

     (f) For the purposes of these Securities,

     “Non-Reserved Matter” means any Modification other than a Modification constituting a Reserved Matter.

     “Outstanding” means, in respect of the Securities, the Securities authenticated and delivered pursuant to these Terms and the Indenture except:

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, ministry 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 further, 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 any Payment Amounts;

     (ii) change the method of calculation of the Payment Amounts;

     (iii) reduce the notional amount of the Securities;

     (iv) change the coin or currency in which amounts in respect of Payments are payable;

     (v) change the Expiration Date;

     (vi) reduce the proportion of the notional amount of the Securities the vote or consent of the Holders of which is necessary to modify, amend or supplement these Terms, the GDP-Linked Authorization or the Indenture or to make, take or give any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided hereby or thereby to be made, taken or given, or change the definition of “Outstanding” with respect to the Securities;

     (vii) change the obligation of the Republic to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities;

R-20

 

     (viii) change the governing law provision of the Securities;

     (ix) change the courts to the jurisdiction of which the Republic has submitted, the Republic’s obligation to appoint and maintain an Authorized Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, or the Republic’s waiver of immunity, in respect of actions or proceedings brought by any Holder based upon the Securities, as set forth in these Terms;

     (x) in connection with an exchange offer for the Securities, amend any Event of Default;

     (xi) change the status of the Securities as set forth in Paragraph 4 of these Terms; or

     (xii) 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.

     21. 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 22(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 the 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 notional 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 forth in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting.

     To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Holders of the Securities, a person shall be a Holder of Outstanding Securities or a person duly appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy for such a Holder. At any meeting of Holders, other than a meeting to discuss a Reserved Matter (as defined in Paragraph 22(f)), the persons entitled to vote a majority in aggregate notional amount of the Outstanding Securities shall constitute a quorum, and at the reconvening of any such meeting adjourned for a lack of a quorum, the persons entitled to vote 25% in aggregate notional amount of the Outstanding Securities shall constitute a quorum for the taking of any action set forth in the notice of the original meeting. At any meeting of Holders held to discuss

R-21

 

a Reserved Matter, the persons entitled to vote 75% in aggregate notional amount of the Outstanding Securities shall constitute a quorum. The Trustee may make such reasonable and customary regulations, as it shall deem advisable for any meeting of Holders of Securities with respect to the proof of the holding of the Securities and of the appointment of proxies in respect of Holders of registered Securities, the record date for determining the registered owners of registered Securities who are entitled to vote at such meeting (which date shall be set forth in the notice calling such meeting hereinabove referred to and which shall be not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to such meeting), the adjournment and chairmanship of such meeting, the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem appropriate.
