The name and address of the registered holder of each Security and the amount of each Security will be recorded in the Register. In the case of the

replacement of any of the Securities, the Register will include notations of the Security so replaced, and the Security issued in replacement thereof. In the case of the cancellation of any of the Securities, the Register will include notations of the Security so cancelled and the date on which such Security was cancelled. The Register will show the amount of the Securities, the date of issue, all subsequent transfers and changes of ownership in respect thereof and the names, tax identification numbers (if relevant to a specific holder) and addresses of the holders of the Securities and any payment instructions with respect thereto (if different from a holder’s registered address). Such Register shall be in written form in the English language or in any other form capable of being converted into such form within a reasonable time.

Upon the written request by the Argentine Registrar and Transfer Agent or the Trustee, the Registrar shall provide a copy of the Register to the Argentine Registrar and Transfer Agent or the Trustee at such address or facsimile as the Argentine Registrar and Transfer Agent or the Trustee may designate in writing to the Registrar.

Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of any Security, the Bank shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Security or Securities in authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal amount.

A holder may register the transfer of a Security only by written application to the Registrar stating the name of the proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of this Indenture. No such registration of transfer shall be effected until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a holder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register.

(b) (i) Subject to Section 3.05(b)(ii) and such reasonable and customary regulations as the Bank may from time to time prescribe, transfers of any Certificated Security in whole or in part pursuant to this Section 3.05(b) must be made at the relevant office of the Registrar or at the office of any other Transfer Agent that may be appointed by the Bank, by delivery of such Certificated Security with the form of transfer thereon duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Bank and the Registrar or any other Transfer Agent, as the case may be, duly executed by the registered Holder thereof or such registered Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing. In exchange for any Certificated Security properly presented for transfer, the Bank shall execute and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and deliver or cause to be authenticated and delivered at the Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Registrar or at the office of any Transfer Agent, as the case may be, to the transferee or send by mail (at the risk of the transferee) to such address as the transferee may request, a Certificated Security or Securities in the name of such transferee and for the same aggregate principal amount as shall have been transferred. Subject to the minimum denomination requirements, if any, set forth in the resolutions of the Board of Directors or indenture supplemental hereto related to a particular Series, in the case of the transfer of any Certificated Security in part, the Bank shall execute and the Trustee shall also promptly authenticate and deliver or cause to be authenticated and delivered at the Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Registrar or at the office of any Transfer Agent, as the case may be, to the transferor or send by mail (at the risk of the transferor) to such address as the transferor may request, a Certificated Security or Securities registered in the name of the transferor and for the aggregate principal amount that was not transferred. Certificated Securities may also be

exchanged for other Certificated Securities of the same Series in any authorized denominations and of equal aggregate principal amount of Securities of such Series, subject to, if any, the minimum denomination requirements set forth in the applicable resolution of the Board of Directors or indenture supplemental hereto. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable resolution of the Board of Directors or indenture supplemental hereto, Certificated Securities held by Qualified Institutional Buyers may be exchanged for beneficial interests in a Rule 144A Global Security representing Securities of the same Series. In exchange for any such Certificated Security, the relevant Registrar will increase the amount of the relevant Rule 144A Global Security by the amount of such Certificated Security and will make the appropriate entries in the Register indicating a transfer of a beneficial interest to such Qualified Institutional Buyer or to a participant in the relevant clearing system specified by such Qualified Institutional Buyer. Except as specified in this paragraph and in Section 3.10 hereof, Certificated Securities will not be exchangeable for interests in Global Securities.

(ii) In the case of any Certificated Securities issued in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 144A, issued upon transfer or exchange of any such Security (other than in accordance with clause 2 of this Section 3.05(b)(ii)) or issued upon exchange of a Rule 144A Global Security pursuant to Section 3.04 hereof, prior to the date which is two years after the Original Issue Date of any such Security (or of such Rule 144A Global Security, as the case may be) (provided that the Bank or any affiliate thereof has not acquired such Security during such two-year period) or in the case of any other “restricted security” (as defined in Rule 144), the Registrar, as Transfer Agent, shall not register the transfer or exchange of such Security (other than pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof) unless:

1. either (A) the registered Holder presenting such Security for transfer, or its attorney-in-fact, shall have advised the Registrar in writing that such registered Holder intends to rely or is relying on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A thereunder in making such transfer or (B) the Person presenting such Security for transfer (if other than the registered Holder or its attorney-in-fact), or its attorney-in-fact, shall have advised the Registrar in writing that the Person in whose name the Security is to be registered in the Register upon transfer (and each beneficial owner of such Security) is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and that such Person or Persons have been advised that the Security has been sold or transferred to it in reliance upon Rule 144A; or

2. either (A) the registered Holder presenting such Security for transfer, or its attorney-in-fact, shall have advised the Registrar in writing that the registered Holder intends to rely or is relying on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Regulation S or (B) the Person presenting such Security for transfer (if other than the registered Holder or its attorney-in-fact), or its attorney-in-fact, shall have advised the Registrar in writing that the Security has been sold or transferred to it in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Regulation S; or

3. such Security is to be registered in the Register upon transfer in the name of a Dealer, its nominee or the Bank; or

4. the Person presenting the Security for transfer, or its attorney-in-fact, shall have advised the relevant Registrar in writing that another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available, including the exemption provided by Rule 144, which is confirmed in an Opinion of Counsel, and the Registrar has received the written consent of the Bank to the registration of such transfer, in which event the Registrar shall register such transfer only in accordance with the conditions of such consent.

For purposes of this Section 3.05(b)(ii), any such advice to the relevant Registrar in writing may be in the form of a letter, notice or other written document, including, with respect to clauses 1, 2 and 3 above, by appropriate notation on the transfer notice set forth on such Security.

Neither the Registrar nor any Transfer Agent shall register the transfer or exchange of Certificated Securities for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment of interest on the Security or during the period of 30 days ending on the due date for any payment of principal on the Security. Neither the Registrar nor any Transfer Agent shall register the transfer or exchange of any Securities previously called for redemption.

(c) (i) DTC Global Securities — DTC Book-Entry Provisions. Interests in DTC Global Securities will be transferable in accordance with the rules and procedures from time to time of DTC. Members of, or participants in, DTC shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any DTC Global Security held on their behalf by DTC, and DTC or its nominee may be treated by the Bank, any Agent or any other agent hereunder as the absolute owner of such DTC Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Bank, any Agent or any other agent hereunder from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC or impair, as between DTC and its agent members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Security.

(ii) Global Securities — Euroclear and Clearstream Book-Entry Provisions. Insofar as interests in any Global Security are held by the agent members of Euroclear or Clearstream, the provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and the “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Participants” of Euroclear and Clearstream, respectively, shall be applicable to such Global Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Bank, any Agent or any other agent hereunder from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by Euroclear or Clearstream (in the case of any Regulation S Global Security) or DTC (in the case of any DTC Global Security, whether such Security is an Unrestricted Global Security, a Regulation S Global Security or a Rule 144A Global Security) or impair, as between Euroclear or Clearstream or DTC, as the case may be, and their respective agent members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Security.

(iii) Transfers of Global Securities in Whole. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.05(d), transfers of a Global Security shall be limited to (i) transfers of a DTC Global Security in whole, but not in part, to DTC, nominees of DTC or to a successor of DTC or such successor’s nominee (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 3.05(c)(iv)), or (ii) transfers of a Euroclear/Clearstream Global Security in whole, but not in part, to Euroclear, Clearstream,

nominees of Euroclear and Clearstream or to a successor to Euroclear or Clearstream or such successor’s nominee (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 3.05(c)(v)).

(iv) Transfer of DTC Global Security to Euroclear and/or Clearstream. If the Securities of any Series are at any time represented by both a DTC Global Security and an Euroclear/Clearstream Global Security and an authorized representative of DTC presents the DTC Global Security to the Registrar or any Transfer Agent, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to such Agent, executed by DTC or by DTC’s attorney thereunto duly authorized in writing, for the purpose of registration of transfer of all or any portion of such DTC’s interest in such DTC Global Security to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, such DTC Global Security or the relevant interest therein shall be transferred upon the Register, and the Registrar shall endorse the DTC Global Security to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by the aggregate principal amount so transferred, and the appropriate Euroclear/Clearstream Global Security shall be endorsed by the relevant Registrar to reflect the increase of its principal amount by the aggregate principal amount so transferred. The Registrar is hereby authorized on behalf of the Bank (A) to endorse or to arrange for the endorsement of the relevant DTC Global Security to reflect the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby by the amount so transferred and to endorse the appropriate Euroclear/Clearstream Global Security to reflect the increase in the principal amount represented thereby by the amount so transferred and, in either case, to sign in the relevant space on the relevant Security recording such reduction or increase and (B) in the case of a total exchange, to cancel or arrange for the cancellation of the DTC Global Security.

(v) Transfer of Euroclear/Clearstream Global Security to DTC. If the Securities of any Series are for the time being represented by both a DTC Global Security and a Euroclear/Clearstream Global Security and an authorized representative of Euroclear or Clearstream presents the Euroclear/Clearstream Global Security to the Registrar or any Transfer Agent, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar or such Transfer Agent, executed by Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, or by Euroclear’s or Clearstream’s attorney thereunto duly authorized in writing, for the purpose of registration of transfer of all or any portion of Euroclear’s or Clearstream’s interest in such Euroclear/Clearstream Global Security to DTC, such Euroclear/Clearstream Global Security or the relevant interest therein shall be transferred upon the Register, and the Registrar shall endorse the Euroclear/Clearstream Global Security to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by the aggregate principal amount so transferred, and the appropriate DTC Global Security shall be endorsed by the Registrar to reflect the increase of its principal amount by the aggregate principal amount so transferred. The Registrar is hereby authorized on behalf of the Bank (i) to endorse or to arrange for the endorsement of the relevant Euroclear/Clearstream Global Security to reflect the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby by the amount so transferred and to endorse the appropriate DTC Global Security to reflect the increase in the principal amount represented thereby by the amount so transferred, and in either case, to sign in the relevant space on the relevant Security recording such reduction or increase and (ii) in the case of a total exchange, to cancel or arrange for the cancellation of the Euroclear/Clearstream Global Security.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as Global Securities of a Series remain outstanding and are held by or on behalf of DTC or Euroclear and

Clearstream, transfers or exchanges of interests between Global Securities of a Series, in whole or in part, shall only be made in accordance with this Section 3.05(d) or Section 3.10.

(i) Transfers From Rule 144A Global Security to Regulation S Global Security. If Securities of a Series are issued in the form of a Regulation S Global Security and a Rule 144A Global Security, and if a holder of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security deposited with the relevant clearing system or its custodian wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Rule 144A Global Security for an interest in the Regulation S Global Security of the same Series, or to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A Global Security to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the Regulation S Global Security, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of DTC and, to the extent applicable, Euroclear and Clearstream, exchange or cause the exchange or transfer or cause the transfer of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security of the same Series. Upon receipt by the relevant Registrar, of (1) written instructions given in accordance with procedures of DTC and/or, to the extent applicable, Euroclear and Clearstream from a participant, directing the relevant Registrar to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security of the same Series in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security to be exchanged or transferred, (2) an order given by the holder of such beneficial interest given in accordance with procedures of DTC and/or, to the extent applicable, Euroclear and Clearstream, containing information regarding the participant account of DTC or, to the extent applicable, Euroclear or Clearstream, to be credited with such increase and (3) a certificate which:

(i) for exchanges made during the Restricted Period, is in the form of Exhibit D hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest stating that the exchange or transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Securities and pursuant to, and in accordance with, Regulation S; or

(ii) for exchanges made after the expiration of the Restricted Period, is in the form of Exhibit E hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest stating that the exchange or transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Securities and (A) that such transfer or exchange has been made pursuant to, and in accordance with, Regulation S or (B) that such transfer or exchange has been made in a transaction permitted by Rule 144.

The Registrar or Transfer Agents shall instruct DTC to reduce the Rule 144A Global Security by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest to be so exchanged or transferred, and the relevant Registrar shall instruct DTC or, to the extent applicable, Euroclear or Clearstream, concurrently with such reduction, to increase the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Security of the same Series by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security to be so exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial

interest in the Regulation S Global Security equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Security of the same Series.

(ii) Transfers From Regulation S Global Security to Rule 144A Global Security. If Securities of any Series are issued in the form of a Regulation S Global Security and a Rule 144A Global Security, and if a holder of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security deposited with the relevant clearing system or its custodian wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Security for an interest in the Rule 144A Global Security of the same Series, or to transfer its interest in such Regulation S Global Security to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the Rule 144A Global Security of the same Series, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of DTC or, to the extent applicable, Euroclear and Clearstream, exchange or transfer such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security of the same Series. Upon receipt by the relevant Registrar of (1) written instructions from a participant in DTC or Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, directing the relevant Registrar to credit a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security equal to the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security of the same Series to be exchanged or transferred, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant’s account with DTC to be credited with such increase, and information regarding the participant’s account with DTC or, to the extent applicable, Euroclear or Clearstream, to be debited with such decrease, and (2) with respect to an exchange or transfer of an interest in the Regulation S Global Security during the Restricted Period for an interest in the Rule 144A Global Security of the same Series, a certificate in the form of Exhibit F hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest and stating that the Person transferring such interest in the Regulation S Global Security reasonably believes that the Person acquiring such interest in the Rule 144A Global Security of the same Series is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and is obtaining such beneficial interest in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, the relevant Registrar shall instruct DTC or, to the extent applicable, Euroclear or Clearstream, to reduce the Regulation S Global Security by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in such Security, and the relevant Registrar shall instruct DTC, concurrently with such reduction, to increase the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Security of the same Series by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security to be so exchanged or transferred, and to credit the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Security of the same Series.

(e) If Securities are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities not bearing the restrictive legends set forth in the respective applicable form of Security attached hereto (collectively, a “Restrictive Legend”), the Securities so issued shall not bear a Restrictive Legend. If Securities are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities bearing a Restrictive Legend, or if a request is made to remove a Restrictive Legend of a Security, the Securities so issued shall bear a Restrictive Legend as set forth on the applicable form of Security attached hereto, or the Restrictive Legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, (other than pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof) unless:

(i) in the case of Certificated Securities issued pursuant to Section 3.05(b)(ii), the provisions of clause 2 thereof shall have been satisfied; or

(ii) in any other case there is delivered to the Bank and the relevant Registrar such satisfactory evidence, which may include an opinion of New York counsel, as may be reasonably required by the Bank (at the Holder’s expense) that neither the Restrictive Legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply, as the case may be, with the provisions of Rule 144A, Rule 144 or Regulation S or that such Securities are not “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144.

In the case of either clause (i) or (ii), the Trustee, upon receipt of a Bank Order, shall authenticate and deliver a Security that does not bear the Restrictive Legend. If the Restrictive Legend is removed from the face of a Security and such Security is subsequently held by the Bank or an Affiliate of the Bank and the Trustee subsequently receives written notice at the Corporate Trust Office that such Security is a “restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144, the Restrictive Legend shall be reinstated.

(f) Any holder of a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such Global Security, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Security may be effected only through a book entry system maintained by the holder of such Global Security (or its agent) and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Security shall be required to be reflected in a book entry. At the option of the holder, and subject to the other provisions of this Section 3.05, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of any same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged to the Registrar. When Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if the requirements for such transactions set forth herein are met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Bank shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities as applicable.

(g) All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Bank, evidencing the same debt, and subject to the other provisions of this Section 3.05, entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

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

(i) The Bank and the Trustee, Registrar, or any Transfer Agent, may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax, other tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with any exchange or registration of transfer of Securities (other than any such transfer taxes or other similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges). No service charge to any holder shall be made for any such transaction.

(j) Neither the Registrar nor any Transfer Agent shall be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Securities of a series during a period beginning on the Regular Record Date for such series and ending on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date for such series. If the Securities of any series (or of any series and specified tenor) are to be redeemed in part, the Bank and the Transfer Agent shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of that series (or of that series and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the giving of a notice of redemption of any such Securities selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such notice, or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

(k) In the event Global Securities are deposited with Caja de Valores in accordance with this Indenture, the provisions of the depositary system set forth by Law No. 20,643, as amended and supplemented from time to time, will be applicable to such Global Securities and such Global Securities shall be registered for the account of each beneficial holder. All transfers will be made through such depositary system in accordance with applicable law.

(l) Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

(m) Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

(n) Unless otherwise provided in an indenture supplemental hereto or another Person has been appointed by the Bank to act as Registrar and Transfer Agent with respect to the Securities of any series, the actions set forth in this Section 3.05 to be performed by the Registrar and Transfer Agent in connection with the registration, exchange and transfer of Securities shall be performed by The Bank of New York Mellon, acting as Registrar and Transfer Agent. In the event that Banco Santander Río S.A., as Argentine Registrar and Transfer Agent is required to carry out any of the obligations related to the registration of ownership, exchange and transfer of Securities, Banco Santander Río S.A. shall be permitted to delegate such duties to another entity acting in Argentina with legal capacity to perform such duties in compliance with this Indenture and applicable laws and regulations in force in Argentina (subject to the Bank’s right to reasonably object to the delegation to such entity). In connection with any such proposed delegation, Banco Santander Río S.A. shall promptly notify the Bank and the Trustee in writing thereof, in order that the Bank may appoint such entity designated by Banco Santander Río S.A., or such other entity as the Bank may deem appropriate, to assume the Argentine Registrar and Transfer Agent´s obligations with respect to such Securities. Once the foregoing appointment has been made, and such appointment has been accepted by the appointed entity, Banco Santander Río S.A. shall not be liable for the breach of any of the obligations assumed by the

delegate Argentine registrar and transfer agent according to this Indenture and Banco Santander Río S.A. shall be indemnified by the Bank for and held harmless by the Bank against, any and all losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, claims, causes of action, costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of legal counsel) incurred directly or indirectly, without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the performance of the duties assumed by the delegate Argentine registrar and transfer agent under this Indenture.

Section 3.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

The Bank shall execute and deliver to the Trustee Certificated Securities in such amounts and at such times as to enable the Trustee to fulfill its responsibilities under this Indenture and the Securities.

The Trustee shall, in accordance with any terms and conditions set forth in the Securities, and upon provision of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and to the Bank that any Security was mutilated, defaced, destroyed, stolen or lost, together with such indemnity as the Trustee and the Bank may require to hold each of them harmless, authenticate and deliver from time to time such new Securities of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding in exchange for or in lieu of such Securities that become mutilated, defaced, destroyed, stolen or lost. Each new Security of any series delivered in exchange for or in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall carry all the rights to interest (including rights to accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts) that were carried by such other Security of that series.

All Securities surrendered for payment, transfer or exchange shall be delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall cancel and dispose of all such Securities surrendered for payment, transfer or exchange, in accordance with its security destruction policy, and shall, upon written request, deliver a certificate of destruction to the Bank.

Upon the issuance of any substitute Security, the holder of such Security, if so requested by the Bank, will pay a sum sufficient to cover any stamp duty, tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expense (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee, its counsel and its agents) in connection with the preparation and issuance of the substitute Security.

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

Section 3.07. Payments of Principal and Interest.

Interest (and principal, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, payable other than at Stated Maturity or upon acceleration, redemption or repurchase) will be payable in immediately available funds to the Person in whose name a Security is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date next preceding each Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Securities upon any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to such Regular Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that interest payable at Stated Maturity or upon acceleration, redemption or repurchase will be payable to the

Person to whom principal will be payable; provided, further, that if and to the extent the Bank defaults in the payment of the interest (and Additional Amounts, if any) due on such Interest Payment Date, such defaulted interest (and Additional Amounts, if any) will be paid to the Person in whose name such Securities are registered at the end of a subsequent record date established by the Bank by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Bank to the holders of the Securities not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent record date, such record date to be not less than 15 days preceding the date of payment in respect of such defaulted interest. Unless otherwise specified in the resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Bank or indenture supplemental hereto related to the Series of such Securities, the first payment of interest on any Security originally issued between a Regular Record Date and an Interest Payment Date will be made on the Interest Payment Date following the next succeeding Regular Record Date to the registered owner at the close of business on such next succeeding Regular Record Date. Unless otherwise specified in the resolutions of the Board of Directors or in an indenture supplemental hereto related to the Series of such Securities, the “Regular Record Date” with respect to any Security will be the date 15 calendar days prior to each Interest Payment Date, whether or not such date is a Business Day.

Payment of the principal, any premium, interest, Additional Amounts and other amounts on or in respect of any Security at Stated Maturity or upon acceleration, redemption or repurchase will be made in immediately available funds to the Person in whose name such Security is registered upon surrender of such Security at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, the office of the Paying Agent located in the City of Buenos Aires, or at the specified office of any other Paying Agent, provided that the Security is presented to the Paying Agent in time for the Paying Agent to make such payments in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures. Whenever the Bank shall have one or more paying agents, including the Trustee, it will, on or prior to the Business Day prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities, deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal (and premium, if any) or interest. Payments of the principal of and any premium, interest, Additional Amounts and other amounts on or in respect of Securities to be made other than at Stated Maturity or upon redemption or repurchase will be made by check mailed on or before the due date for such payments to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears in the Register; provided that (a) the applicable Depositary or its nominee, as holder of the Global Securities, shall be entitled to receive payments of interest by wire transfer of immediately available funds, (b) a holder of U.S.$1,000,000 (or the approximate equivalent thereof in Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars) in aggregate principal or face amount of Securities of the same Series shall be entitled to receive payments of interest by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by such holder at a bank located in the United States or Argentina as may have been appropriately designated by such Person to the Trustee in writing no later than 15 days prior to the date such payment is due and (c) to the extent that the holder of a Security issued and denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars elects to receive payment of the principal of and any premiums, interest, Additional Amounts and other amounts on or in respect of such Security at Stated Maturity or upon redemption in such Specified Currency, such payment, except in circumstances described in the resolutions of the Board of Directors or in an indenture supplemental hereto related to the relevant Series, shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified in writing by the holder to the Trustee not

less than 15 days prior to the date such payment is due. Unless such designation is revoked in writing, any such designation made by such holder with respect to such Securities shall remain in effect with respect to any future payments with respect to such Securities payable to such holder.

If the Stated Maturity or the Interest Payment Date for a Security falls on a day which is not a Business Day, payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest with respect to such Security will be made on the next succeeding Business Day in the place of payment with the same force and effect as if made on the due date and no interest on such payment will accrue from and after such due date.

If the principal of or any premium, interest, Additional Amounts or other amounts on any Security is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Bank’s control, or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then the Bank, until such currency is again available or so used, will be entitled, to the extent permitted by Argentine law, to satisfy its obligations to the Holder of such Securities by making such payment in U.S. dollars at the Exchange Rate for such Specified Currency on the Payment Date. The making of any payment in respect of any Security in U.S. dollars under the foregoing circumstances will not constitute an Event of Default under such Security.

Payments of the principal and any premium, interest, Additional Amounts or other amounts to holders of Securities denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars who hold the Securities through DTC will, to the extent permitted by Argentine law, be made in U.S. dollars. However, any DTC holder of a Security denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars may elect to receive payments by wire transfer in such Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars by delivering a written notice to the DTC participant through which it holds its beneficial interest, not later than the Regular Record Date, in the case of an interest payment, or at least 15 calendar days before the Stated Maturity, specifying wire transfer instructions to an account denominated in the Specified Currency. The DTC participant must notify DTC of the election and wire transfer instructions on or before the twelfth Business Day before the applicable payment of the principal.

The U.S. dollar amount to be received by a holder of a Security denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars who elects to receive payment in U.S. dollars will be based on the Exchange Rate on the second Business Day next preceding the applicable payment date. The Bank will make payment to the Exchange Rate Agent on the third Business Day next preceding the applicable Payment Date. If Exchange Rate quotations are not available on the second Business Day preceding the date of payment of principal or any premium, interest, Additional Amounts or other amounts with respect to any Security, such payment will be made in the Specified Currency. All currency exchange costs associated with any payment in U.S. dollars on any Security denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will be borne by the Holder thereof by deductions from payment of the currency exchange being effected on behalf of the Holder by the Exchange Rate Agent.

Unless otherwise specified in the terms of a Series of Securities, Securities denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will provide that, in the event of an official redenomination of the currency, the obligations of the Bank with respect to payments on such Securities shall, in all cases, be deemed immediately following such redenomination to provide for payment of that amount of the redenominated currency representing the amount of such obligations immediately before such redenomination.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.07, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

Section 3.08. Persons Deemed Owners.

Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer (or in the event of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security), the Bank, the Trustee, any Agent and any other agent of the Bank or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered, as evidenced by the Security Register, as the owner of such Security for all purposes including, without limitation, receiving payment of principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to Section 3.07) interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Bank, the Trustee, any Agent nor any other agent of the Bank or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 3.09. Repurchases; Cancellation.

The Bank and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates may at any time purchase or otherwise acquire the Securities, by purchase or private agreement, in the open market or otherwise, at any price and may resell or otherwise dispose of such Securities in accordance with applicable securities laws at any time, taking into account that, in order to determine at any time whether or not the holders of the required principal amount of the Outstanding Securities have made a request, demand, authorization, instruction, notice, consent or waiver under the terms of this Indenture, the Securities held by the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates will not be counted and will not be considered Outstanding.

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

Section 3.10. Exchange Offer.

Upon the occurrence of an Exchange Offer in accordance with a Registration Rights Agreement, the Bank may (1) issue and deliver, and upon receipt of a Bank Order in accordance

with Section 3.03 hereof the relevant Registrar shall authenticate, (i) one or more Unrestricted Global Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interests in the Global Securities tendered for exchange in the Exchange Offer by Persons that certify in the applicable letters of transmittal or via the depositary’s book-entry system that (A) they are not broker-dealers, (B) they are not participating in a distribution of Exchange Securities and (C) they are not affiliates (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) of the Bank and (ii) Unrestricted Certificated Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Certificated Securities accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer or (2) deliver a Bank Order to the relevant Registrar instructing the relevant Registrar to remove the Restrictive Legends from such Securities and replace the CUSIP, ISIN, Common Code and other identifying codes to permit the Securities to become freely tradeable. Upon the effectiveness of a Resale Registration Statement in accordance with a Registration Rights Agreement, the Bank shall deliver a Bank Order to the relevant Registrar instructing the relevant Registrar to remove the Restrictive Legends from the Securities covered by such registration statement. All Exchange Securities issued pursuant to an Exchange Offer for the Securities of a Series shall, for all purposes under this Indenture, be deemed to be part of and constitute a single Series with such Securities that were not tendered in such Exchange Offer, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall vote together as one Series of Securities under this Indenture.

Section 3.11. Computation of Interest.

Except as contemplated by Section 3.01, interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

Section 3.12. Security Identifier Numbers.

The Bank in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP,” “ISIN” and/or “common code” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use for the Securities “CUSIP,” “ISIN” and/or “common code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Bank will promptly notify the Trustee, in writing, of any change in the “CUSIP,” “ISIN” and/or “common code” numbers. Additional Notes will only be issued with the same CUSIP number or other identifying number as the Notes issued hereunder if such further issuance would be treated as part of the same “issue” as the Notes issued hereunder within the meaning of United States Treasury regulation section 1.1275-1(f) or 1.1275-2(k).

Section 3.13. Additional Notes. Subject to the authorization of the CNV, the Bank may, from time to time, without the consent of the holders, create and issue pursuant to this Indenture additional notes (“Additional Notes”) having terms and conditions identical to those of any other series of Outstanding Securities issued under this Indenture, except that Additional Notes:

(1) may have a different original issue date from such other series of Outstanding Securities;

(2) may have a different original issue price from such other series of Outstanding Securities;

(3) may have a different amount of interest payable on the first Interest Payment Date after issuance than is payable on such other series of Outstanding Securities;

(4) may have a different Restrictive Legend; and

(5) may have terms specified pursuant to the Board Resolution or in a supplemental indenture for such Additional Notes making appropriate adjustments to the terms of this Indenture applicable to such Additional Notes in order to conform to and ensure compliance with the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws) and any Registration Rights Agreement applicable to such Additional Notes, which are not adverse in any material respect to the Holder of any such series of Outstanding Securities (other than such Additional Notes).

ARTICLE 4
REDEMPTION; REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES

Section 4.01. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed as a whole or in part at the option of the Bank pursuant to the terms of such Securities established as contemplated by Section 3.01 shall be given to Holders as specified in Section 12.01 and to the CNV. Such notice shall specify the provision pursuant to which the redemption is being made, the principal amount of each Security held by such Holders to be redeemed, the date fixed for redemption (the “Optional Redemption Date”), the redemption price, the place or places of payment, the CUSIP, ISIN, Common Code or other identifying codes, if any, that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP, ISIN, Common Code or other identifying codes listed on such notice or printed on such Securities, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Securities, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption and any Additional Amounts will be paid as specified in such notice, that on and after said date interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue and any other matter required to be specified therein by Argentine law or regulation. In case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

The Bank shall deliver to the Trustee and relevant Paying Agent any notice of redemption specifying the information set forth above at least 30 days prior to the date on which such notice of redemption will be mailed (and 45 days prior to such date if the notice of redemption must be published) together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate

principal amount of Securities to be redeemed. The notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the option of the Bank shall be given to Holders by the Bank or, at the Bank’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Bank at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the date of redemption (unless otherwise specified pursuant to the terms of such Securities established as contemplated by Section 3.01). Such notice shall be irrevocable.

If and for so long as the Securities are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for trading on the EuroMTF or any other securities exchange and the rules of the relevant securities exchange so require, the Bank shall, once in each year in which there has been a partial redemption of the Securities, cause to be published in a leading newspaper of general circulation in Luxembourg, or as specified by such other securities exchange, a notice specifying the aggregate principal amount of Securities Outstanding and in accordance with all applicable regulations issued by the CNV.

On or before 10:00 AM (New York City time) one Business Day prior to the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section, the Bank will deposit with the relevant Paying Agent (and if Securities are denominated in Specified Currency, with the Exchange Rate Agent three Business Days prior to the redemption date) (or, if the Bank is acting as its own paying agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 5.03) an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all the Securities so called for redemption at the appropriate redemption price, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption and any Additional Amounts.

If less than all the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed at the option of the Bank, the particular Securities of such Series to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee from the Outstanding Securities of such Series (and in the case of Securities represented by a Global Security, in accordance with the requirements of DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be) not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption and such redemption will be notified to the Bank and the Holders in accordance with Section 12.01 not less than 30 days prior to such date. Upon any partial redemption of Securities of such Series, the Trustee or the relevant Registrar, as applicable, shall (a) in the case of Securities represented by a DTC Global Security, cancel the existing DTC Global Security or Securities and authenticate and hold as custodian for DTC a new DTC Global Security or Securities, as applicable, executed by the Bank, to reflect the aggregate principal amount of Securities of such Series Outstanding after such redemption and (b) in the case of Certificated Securities, to the extent required, authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more Securities of such Series executed by the Bank, of any authorized denomination as requested by the Holder thereof, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the balance of the principal of such partially redeemed Security. In the case of Securities represented by an Euroclear/Clearstream Global Security, the Common Depositary shall cancel the existing Euroclear/Clearstream Global Security or Securities, and the Trustee shall authenticate and the Common Depositary shall hold as custodian for Euroclear and Clearstream a new Euroclear/Clearstream Global Security or Securities, as applicable, executed by the Bank, to reflect the aggregate principal amount of Securities of such Series Outstanding after such redemption. Securities may be redeemed in part in multiples equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities or any multiple thereof. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Bank in writing of the redemption of the Securities and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Indenture,

unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security that has been or is to be redeemed.

Section 4.02. Payment of Securities Called for Redemption. If notice of redemption has been given as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption and any Additional Amounts, and on and after said date (unless the Bank shall default in the payment of such Securities at the redemption price, together with interest accrued to said date and any Additional Amounts) interest on the Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue and, except as provided in Sections 8.01(h) and 9.05, such Securities shall cease from and after the date fixed for redemption to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and the Holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Securities except the right to receive the redemption price thereof and unpaid interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption and any Additional Amounts. On presentation and surrender, pursuant to the terms of such Securities, of such Securities at a place of payment specified in said notice, said Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Bank at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption and any Additional Amounts; provided that any payment of interest becoming due on the date fixed for redemption and any Additional Amounts shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities registered as such on the relevant record date subject to the terms and provisions of Section 3.03.From and after the redemption date, if moneys for the redemption of the Securities called for redemption shall have been made available as provided herein for redemption on the redemption date, such Securities shall cease to bear interest, and the only right of the Holders of such Securities shall be to receive payment of the redemption price and all unpaid interest accrued to the date of redemption and any Additional Amounts.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 4.02, if any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear interest from the date fixed for redemption at the rate specified in the Security.

Upon presentation of any Security redeemed in part only, the Bank shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or on the order of the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Bank, a new Security or Securities, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented.

Section 4.03. Exclusion of Certain Securities from Eligibility for Selection for Redemption. Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for selection for redemption if they are identified by registration and certificate number in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee at least 30 days prior to the date on which notice of redemption will be given as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or hypothecated by either (a) the Bank or (b) a Person specifically identified in such written statement as directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Bank.

Section 4.04. Redemption at the Option of the Bank for Taxation Reasons. The Securities of any Series may be redeemed at the option of the Bank in whole, but not in part, at any time, on giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ written notice (which will be irrevocable) to the Holders (and to the Trustee who shall be notified 15 days prior to the date the Holders are to be notified) and, if applicable to the CNV in writing, at the principal amount thereof (or, in the case of original issue discount Securities, at the Amortized Face Amount thereof), together with any accrued but unpaid interest and any Additional Amounts to the date fixed for redemption (which date, in the case of Floating Rate Notes, must be an Interest Payment Date) if, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings issued thereunder) of Argentina or any political subdivision of or any taxing authority in Argentina or any change in the application, administration or official interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, including, without limitation, the holding of a court of competent jurisdiction, that the Bank has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts and/or Argentine Taxes on or in respect of such Securities, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the date of issuance of the Securities of such Series, and the Bank determines in good faith that such obligation is material and cannot be avoided by the Bank taking reasonable measures available to it. Prior to the distribution of any notice of redemption pursuant hereto, the Bank shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Bank has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts and/or Argentine Taxes as a result of such change or amendment and that such obligation cannot be avoided by the Bank taking reasonable measures available to it. The Trustee shall be entitled to accept such certificate and, if so specified in an indenture supplemental hereto relating to the Securities of such Series, an Opinion of Counsel as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions contained in the second preceding sentence.

Section 4.05. Redemption at the Option of the Bank. With respect to the Securities of any Series, if so specified in the applicable indenture supplemental hereto, the Securities of such Series may be redeemed at the option of the Bank in whole or in part, at any time, on giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice (which will be irrevocable) to the Holders (and to the Trustee who shall be notified 15 days prior to the date the Holders are to be notified) and, if applicable to the CNV, at the principal amount thereof (or, in the case of original issue discount Securities, at the Amortized Face Amount thereof) and any Additional Amounts to the date fixed for redemption (which date, in the case of Floating Rate Notes, must be an Interest Payment Date) at the amounts (the “Optional Redemption Amount(s)”) specified in, or determined in the manner specified in, the applicable Pricing Supplement together with accrued interest (if any) to the date fixed for redemption (which date, in the case of Floating Rate Notes, must be an Interest Payment Date). In the event of a redemption of only some of a series of Securities, such redemption must be of a principal amount being the “Minimum Redemption Amount” or a “Higher Redemption Amount,” in each case if so indicated in the applicable Pricing Supplement. In the case of a partial redemption of Certificated Securities, such Securities to be redeemed will be determined on a pro rata basis, by lot, while respecting the principle of equal treatment of all investors, or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the Trustee, not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. In the case of a partial redemption of securities which are represented by a Global Security, the relevant Securities will be selected in accordance with the rules of the relevant clearing system or systems, as the case may be. If the Securities are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for trading on the EuroMTF or on any other securities exchange and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or such other securities exchange so

require, as applicable, the Bank will, once in each year in which there has been a partial redemption of the securities, cause to be published in a leading newspaper of general circulation in Luxembourg or as specified by such other securities exchange a notice specifying the aggregate principal amount of Securities outstanding and a list of the Securities drawn for redemption but not surrendered.

Section 4.06. Redemption at the Option of the Holders. In the event that the terms of the Securities of any Series permit the Holders thereof, at their option, to cause the Bank to repurchase such Securities, upon the Holder of any Security giving to the Bank not more than 60 nor less than 30 days’ notice (or such other notice as is specified in the terms of such Securities) in accordance with Section 12.01, which notice shall be irrevocable, the Bank shall, upon the expiry of such notice, redeem such Security, subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of such Security on the date and at the amount specified in or determined in the manner specified in such Securities, in whole but not in part, together with accrued interest (if any) to the date fixed for such redemption. In accordance with the provisions hereof relating to payment on redemption at the option of the Bank, the Bank shall arrange with the Trustee (and each Paying Agent for such purpose, if applicable) for the provision of funds sufficient to make payments to such Holders in respect of such redemptions from time to time.

ARTICLE 5
COVENANTS

Section 5.01. Payment of Principal and Interest. The Bank covenants and agrees, for the benefits of the holders of the Securities, that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of and interest on each of the Securities (including Additional Amounts), and any other payments to be made by the Bank under the Securities and this Indenture, at the place or places, at the respective times and in the manner provided in such Securities and this Indenture. The Bank shall also pay all Additional Interest, if any, in the same manner on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the applicable Registration Rights Agreements, if any.

Section 5.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

With respect to any Security, and except as otherwise may be specified for such Security as contemplated by Section 3.01, the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee shall be the place of payment where such Security may be presented or surrendered for payment or for registration of transfer or exchange, or where successor Securities may be delivered in exchange therefor; provided, however, that any such payment, presentation, surrender or delivery of a Global Security effected pursuant to the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary for such Global Security shall be deemed to have been effected at the place of payment for such Global Security in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

With respect to any Securities, the Bank shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, an office or agency where Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Bank in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Bank shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the

location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Bank shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Bank hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

The Bank may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or outside the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York) where the Securities of one or more series, notices and other items may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Bank of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York for such purposes. The Bank shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

If and for so long as any Series of Securities are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for trading on the EuroMTF, the alternative market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the “EuroMTF”), and the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so requires, the Bank will maintain a registrar in Luxembourg. So long as it is required by Argentine law or by the CNV, the Bank will maintain an Argentine Registrar and Transfer Agent and Argentine Paying Agent in Argentina. Banco Santander Rio S.A., at its office at Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx 000, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, will initially act as such Argentine Registrar and Transfer Agent, Argentine Paying Agent and Representative of the Trustee in Argentina.

Each of the Registrars, each of the Paying Agents, each of the Transfer Agents and each of the Calculation Agents may change their respective specified offices set forth herein to some other specified offices in the same city. The Bank will promptly give to the Trustee and the Holders (and, if so required, the CNV, the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, the BASE or such other securities exchange on which a Series of Securities may be listed) written notice of any change of location of specified offices, or of any resignation, termination or appointment of any Registrars, any Paying Agent, any Transfer Agent or any Calculation Agent.

Section 5.03. Money for Security Payments to be Held in Trust.

If the Bank shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it shall, on or before each due date of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and premium, if any, and interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

Whenever the Bank shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it shall, by 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately prior to each due date of the principal, additional amounts of or premium, if any, or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Bank shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

The Bank shall cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Bank, subject to the provisions of this Section 5.03, that such Paying Agent will (1) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (2) during the continuance of any default by the Bank (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities of that series, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities of that series.

The Bank may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Bank Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Bank or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Bank or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Bank, in trust for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Bank on request from the Bank, or (if then held by the Bank) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Bank for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Bank as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may, at the expense of the Bank, cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Bank.

Section 5.04. Laws, Licenses and Permits. The Bank will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders and directions of any Government Agency having jurisdiction over it or its business except where the failure to so comply would not have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, operations or financial condition of the Bank and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Section 5.05. Maintenance of Corporate Existence; Properties.

The Bank will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (a) maintain in effect its corporate existence and all registrations necessary therefor (except for transactions not otherwise prohibited by Article 6), (b) take all actions to maintain all rights, privileges, titles to property or franchises necessary in the normal conduct of its business and (c) keep all its property used or useful in the conduct of its business in good working order and condition, except in each case where the failure to so comply would not have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, operations or financial condition of the Bank and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided that this covenant shall not require the Bank to maintain any such right, privilege, title to property or

franchises, or to preserve the corporate existence of any Subsidiary of the Bank, if in each case the Board of Directors shall determine in good faith that the maintenance or preservation thereof is no longer necessary or desirable in the conduct of business of the Bank.

Section 5.06. Maintenance of Books and Records.

The Bank will maintain books, accounts and records in accordance with Argentine GAAP and Central Bank Rules. In the case of a conflict between Argentine GAAP and Central Bank Rules, the Central Bank Rules shall prevail.

Section 5.07. Ranking.

(a) Other than with respect to any issuance of a Series of Securities under an indenture supplemental hereto which is subordinated in accordance with the terms of such supplemental indenture, the Bank will ensure that its obligations under each Security will at all times rank at least pari passu in right of payment with the Bank’s other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding (other than obligations preferred by statute or by operation of law).

(b) The Bank will ensure that each Security will at all times qualify as “obligaciones negociables simples no convertibles” under the Negotiable Obligations Law, be entitled to the benefits set forth therein and subject to the procedural requirements thereof.

Section 5.08. Further Assurances. The Bank shall, at its own cost and expense, execute and deliver to the Trustee all such documents, instruments and agreements and do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be reasonably required to enable the Trustee to exercise and enforce its rights hereunder and under the documents, instruments and agreements required hereunder and to carry out the intent of this Indenture.

Section 5.09. Reporting.

(a) The Bank will furnish to the Trustee the following reports, for further delivery to the Holders, upon written request of such Holders:

(i) within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Bank (which, as of the date hereof, is December 31st) (or, if later, the date on which the Bank is required to deliver to the CNV or to the Central Bank financial statements for the relevant fiscal period), a copy of the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Bank and its Subsidiaries as of the end of such year and the related consolidated statements of income and statements of shareholders’ equity and statements of cash flows for such fiscal year, prepared in accordance with Central Bank Rules applied consistently throughout the periods reflected therein (except as otherwise expressly noted therein) and delivered in both the English and Spanish languages; and

(ii) within 60 days after the end of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year of the Bank (or, if later, the date on which the Bank is required to deliver to the CNV or to the Central Bank financial statements for the relevant fiscal period), a copy of the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Bank and its Subsidiaries as of the end of

each such quarter and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and statements of shareholders’ equity and statements of cash flows for such quarter, prepared in accordance with Central Bank Rules applied consistently throughout the periods reflected therein (except as otherwise expressly noted therein) and delivered in both the English and Spanish languages.

(b) The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine if the Bank is required to file any report or other information pursuant to this Section 5.09, nor be responsible or liable for determining or monitoring whether or not the Bank has otherwise delivered any report or other information in accordance with the requirements specified in the foregoing paragraph. Delivery of these reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of any of those will not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Bank’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

(c) For so long as any of the Securities remain Outstanding and are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, the Bank will, during any period in which it is neither subject to Section 13 or 15(d) under the Exchange Act nor exempt from reporting under the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) thereunder, make available to any Holder or any owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Security, to a prospective purchaser of a Security or beneficial interest therein who is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, or to the Trustee for delivery, at the Bank’s expense, to such Holder or beneficial owner or prospective purchaser, as the case may be, in connection with any sale thereof, in each case at the Holder’s written request to the Bank, the information specified in, and meeting the requirements of, Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. In addition, if and for so long as any of the Securities are admitted to listing on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to trading on the Euro MTF market and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, copies of such reports and information furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.09 hereof will also be made available at the specified office of the paying agent in Luxembourg.

(d) None of the information provided pursuant to the preceding paragraphs shall be required to comply with Regulation S-K as promulgated by the SEC.

Section 5.10. Negative Pledge. The Bank will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume, or suffer to exist any Lien, except a Permitted Lien, upon any of its present or future assets to secure any Indebtedness unless, at the same time or prior thereto, the Bank’s obligations under the Securities and this Indenture are secured equally and ratably therewith.

Section 5.11. Notice of Default. The Bank will, promptly, and in any event within five Business Days after it obtains knowledge thereof, notify the Trustee, in writing, following the occurrence of any Event of Default.

Section 5.12. Listing. The Bank will ensure that the Securities (that are “restricted securities” under Rule 144A(d)(3)) meet the eligibility requirements of Rule 144A(d)(3) under the Securities Act. The Bank will use all reasonable efforts to assist the

relevant Dealers in arranging to cause the Securities to be eligible for settlement through the facilities of DTC and/or Euroclear and Clearstream, as applicable, and, if so specified in the resolutions of the Board of Directors or the indenture supplemental hereto relating to a Series of Securities, to be accepted for trading in the MAE. In connection with any Series of Securities to be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for trading on the EuroMTF, the BASE or on another securities exchange or securities exchanges, the Bank will use all reasonable efforts to have such Series of Securities accepted for listing and/or trading on such securities exchange or securities exchanges no later than the date on which the Securities of such Series are to be issued and sold (or as soon thereafter as possible in accordance with the requirements of such securities exchange or securities exchanges); and the Bank will use all reasonable efforts to cause such listing to be continued for so long as any of the Securities of such Series are Outstanding and to furnish to each specified securities exchange all documents, information and undertakings that may be reasonably necessary in order to effect or continue such listing; provided that if, as a result of the European Union regulated market amended Directive 2001/34/EC (the “Transparency Directive”) or any legislation implementing the Transparency Directive or other directives or legislation, the Bank could be required to publish financial information either more regularly than it otherwise would be required to or according to accounting principles which are materially different from the accounting principles which the Bank would otherwise use to prepare its published financial information, the Bank may delist the Securities from trading on the EuroMTF in accordance with the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and seek an alternative admission to listing, trading and/or quotation for the Securities on a different market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or by such other listing authority, securities exchange and/or quotation system inside or outside the European Union as the Board of Directors may decide.

Section 5.13. Payment of Additional Amounts.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable resolution of the Board of Directors or indenture supplemental hereto, all payments of principal, premium or interest by the Bank in respect of each Security shall be made without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, assessments or other governmental charges (including penalties, interest and additions related thereto) of whatsoever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of Argentina or by or within any political subdivision thereof or any authority therein having power to tax (“Argentine Taxes”), unless the Bank is compelled by law to so deduct or withhold. In any such event, the Bank shall pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) in respect of Argentine Taxes as may be necessary to ensure that the amounts received by the Holders of such Securities after such withholding or deduction shall equal the respective amounts that would have been receivable in respect of such Security in the absence of such withholding or deduction, except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable:

(i) to or on behalf of a Holder or beneficial owner of a Security that is liable for Argentine Taxes in respect of such Security by reason of having a present or former connection with Argentina other than merely the holding or owning of such Security or the enforcement of rights with respect to such Security or the receipt of income or any payments in respect thereof;

(ii) to or on behalf of a Holder or beneficial owner of a Security in respect of Argentine Taxes that would not have been imposed but for the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner of a Security to comply with any certification, identification, information, documentation or other similar reporting requirement (within 60 calendar days following a written request from the Bank to the Holder for compliance) if such compliance is required by applicable law, regulation, published administrative interpretation of general application or an applicable treaty as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of, Argentine Taxes;

(iii) to or on behalf of a Holder or beneficial owner of a Security in respect of any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal assets or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

(iv) to or on behalf of a Holder or beneficial owner of a Security in respect of Argentine Taxes payable other than by withholding from payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities;

(v) to or on behalf of a Holder or beneficial owner of a Security in respect of Argentine Taxes that would not have been imposed but for the fact that the Holder presented such Security for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the later of (x) the date on which such payment became due and (y) if the full amount payable has not been received by the Trustee on or prior to such due date, the date on which, the full amount having been so received, notice to that effect shall have been given to the Holders by the Trustee, except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Security been presented on any day during such 30-day period;

(vi) any taxes, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld or deducted that are imposed on a payment pursuant to sections 1471 through 1474 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (or any amended or successor version of such sections that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), any current or future Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other official interpretations thereof (collectively, “FATCA”), any agreement (including any intergovernmental agreement) entered into in connection therewith, or any law, regulation, or other official guidance enacted in any jurisdiction implementing FATCA; or

(vii) for any combination of items (i) through (vi) above;

Furthermore, no Additional Amounts shall be paid with respect to any payment on any Security to a holder that is a fiduciary or partnership or other pass-through entity or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or other pass-through entity or beneficial owner would not have been entitled to receive the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the holder of such Securities.

Any reference herein or in the Securities to principal, premium, and/or interest shall be deemed also to refer to any Additional Amounts which may be payable under the undertakings described in this section. The Bank will provide the Trustee with documentation evidencing the payment of any amounts deducted or withheld in accordance with this Section promptly upon the Bank’s payment thereof, and copies of such documentation will be made available by the Trustee to Holders upon written request to the Trustee.

In addition, the Bank will pay promptly when due any present or future stamp, issue, registration, court or documentary or other similar taxes and duties, including interest and penalties, in respect of the creation, issue and offering of the Securities, excluding any such taxes and duties imposed by any jurisdiction outside Argentina, except those resulting from, or required to be paid in connection with, the enforcement of such Securities after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default with respect to the Securities in default.

Section 5.14. Further Actions.

The Bank will use its reasonable best efforts to take any action, satisfy any condition or do anything (including the obtaining or effecting of any necessary consent, approval, authorization, exemption, filing, license, order, recording or registration) at any time required in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations to be taken, fulfilled or done in order (a) to enable the Bank lawfully to enter into, exercise its rights and perform and comply with its payment obligations under the Securities and the Indenture, as the case may be, (b) to ensure that those obligations are legally binding and enforceable, and (c) to make the Securities and the Indenture admissible in evidence in the courts of Argentina.

ARTICLE 6
MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS, SALES, LEASES

Section 6.01. Mergers, Consolidations, Sales, Leases. The Bank will not merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or into, or convey or transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets, whether in one transaction or a series of transactions, to any Person, unless immediately after giving effect to such transaction, (a) no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing, (b) any Person formed by any such merger, consolidation or amalgamation or the Person which acquires by conveyance or transfer, or which leases such properties and assets (if not the Bank) (the “Successor Person”) expressly assumes, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the obligations of the Bank under this Indenture and the Securities, (c) the Successor Person agrees to indemnify each holder against any tax, assessment or governmental charge thereafter imposed on such holder by a Government Agency solely as a consequence of any reincorporation or re-domiciling of such Successor Person in any jurisdiction other than Argentina or any province or municipality therein in connection with such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, conveyance, transfer or lease with respect to the payment of principal, interest or premium, if any, on the Securities, (d) the Successor Person (except in the case of leases), if any, succeeds to and becomes substituted for the Bank with the same effect as if it had been named in

the Securities and this Indenture as the Bank, and (e) the Successor Person is organized in a Qualified Merger Jurisdiction.

In the event of any such sale or conveyance (other than a conveyance by way of lease) and assumption by the Successor Person, the Bank shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities to be performed by the Bank and may be liquidated and dissolved.

Holders expressly waive their right to objection contemplated in Section 83, 88 and related provisions of the Argentine Corporations Law No. 19,550, Section 4 of Law No. 11,867, and Section 27 of the Negotiable Obligations Law in the event that the relevant merger or consolidation or the sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Bank (as determined on a consolidated basis) is made under the terms and conditions permitted by this covenant.

ARTICLE 7

(a) the Bank shall fail to pay any principal or interest (or Additional Amounts, if any) on the Securities of such Series on the date when it becomes due and payable in accordance with the terms thereof, and such failure shall continue for a period of 7 days (in the case of principal) or 14 days (in the case of interest or Additional Amounts, if any); or

(b) the Bank shall fail duly to perform or observe any other covenant or obligation applicable to such Series under this Indenture or contained in such Securities, and such failure shall continue for a period of 30 days after written notice to that effect is received by the Bank or by the Bank and the Trustee from the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such Series; or

(c) the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries fail to pay when due interest on or principal of any of the Bank’s or such Subsidiary’s Indebtedness in a past due amount of at least US$10.0 million (or the equivalent thereof at the time of determination) and such failure continues after the grace period, if any, applicable thereto; or any other event of default occurs under any agreement or instrument relating to any such Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount of at least US$10.0 million (or the equivalent thereof at the time of determination) which results in the acceleration of the maturity thereof; or

(d) one or more final judgments or decrees for the payment of money in excess of US$10.0 million (or the equivalent thereof at the time of determination) in the aggregate are rendered against the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries and are not discharged (to the extent not covered by insurance) and, in the case of each such judgment or decree, there is a period of 60

days following such judgment during which such judgment or decree is not discharged, waived or the execution thereof stayed; or

(e) a court having jurisdiction enters a decree or order for (1) relief in respect of the Bank or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in an involuntary case under the Bankruptcy Law, or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or (2) appointment of an administrator, receiver, trustee or intervenor for the Bank or any of its Significant Subsidiaries for all or substantially all of the property of the Bank or any of its Significant Subsidiaries and, in each case, such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days or (ii) the Central Bank (1) initiates a proceeding under Article 34, 35 or 35(bis) of the Financial Institutions Law, requesting the Bank or any of its Significant Subsidiaries to submit a plan under such Article or (2) orders a temporary, total or partial suspension of the activities of the Bank or any of its Significant Subsidiaries pursuant to Article 49 of the charter of the Central Bank; or

(f) the Bank or any of its Significant Subsidiaries (a) commences a voluntary case under the Financial Institutions Law, the Bankruptcy Law or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, (b) consents to the appointment of or taking possession by an administrator, receiver, trustee or intervenor for the Bank or any of its Significant Subsidiaries for all or substantially all of the property of the Bank or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or (c) effects any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

(g) a resolution is passed or adopted by the Bank’s Board of Directors or shareholders, or an order is adopted by the Central Bank, or a ruling or judgment of a Government Agency or court of competent jurisdiction is made, that the Bank be wound up or dissolved (other than pursuant to merger, consolidation, amalgamation or other transaction otherwise not prohibited by Section 6.01); or

(h) it becomes unlawful for the Bank to perform or comply with any of its payment obligations under the Securities of such Series;

then the Trustee shall, upon the request of the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such Series, by written notice to the Bank, declare all the Securities of such Series then Outstanding to be immediately due and payable; provided that in the case of any of the Events of Default described in paragraphs (e), (f) and (g) above with respect to the Bank, all Securities shall, without any notice to the Bank or any other act by the Trustee or any Holder of any Securities, become immediately due and payable. Upon any such declaration of acceleration, the principal of the Securities so accelerated and the interest accrued thereon and all other amounts payable with respect to such Securities shall become and be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default set forth in paragraph (c) above has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any Series, such Event of Default shall be automatically rescinded and annulled once the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to paragraph (c) shall be remedied or cured by the Bank and/or the relevant Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness. No such rescission and annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

At any time after a declaration of acceleration has been made with respect to the Securities of any Series and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such Series, by written notice to the Bank and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if (i) the Bank has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (A) all overdue installments of interest on the Securities of such Series, (B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of such Series which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor by the terms of the Securities of such Series, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, (C) interest upon overdue installments of interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor by the terms of the Securities of such Series, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful and (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee, the Representative of the Trustee in Argentina and the Agents hereunder and the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Agents and their respective agents and counsel; and (ii) all Events of Default with respect to such Series of Securities, other than the nonpayment of the principal, premium or interest on the Securities of such Series that has become due solely because of such acceleration, have been cured or waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 7.02. Waiver of Past Defaults.

At a meeting duly convened at which a quorum is present as provided in Section 10.06, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such Series represented and voting at such meeting may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such Series, waive any past or present default or Event of Default with respect to such Series and its consequences, except a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder of Securities of such Series affected as provided in Section 11.02. In the case of any such waiver, the Bank, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of such Series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively.

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred with respect to such Series, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, and not to have occurred with respect to such Series for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon or affect any other Series of Securities.

Section 7.03. Control by Majority. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any Series at the time Outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such Series by this Indenture. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of holders of the Securities of such Series not joining in the giving of such direction, and may take any other action it deems

proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from holders of the Securities of such Series.

Section 7.04. Limitation on Suits. Except as described in Section 7.05, no holder of any Security of any Series will have any right by virtue of or by availing itself of any provision of this Indenture or of the Securities of such Series to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or the Securities of such Series or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(a) such holder previously has given to the Trustee written notice of a default with respect to the Securities of such Series;

(b) holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such Series then Outstanding have made written request to the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee and have offered 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; and

(c) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Securities of such Series shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder of Securities of such Series (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders), or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Securities of such Series.

Section 7.05. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture and any provision of any Security, the right of any Holder of any Security to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Security (including Additional Amounts) on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security, or to institute suit, including a summary judicial proceeding (acción ejecutiva individual) in Argentina pursuant to Article 29 of the Negotiable Obligations Law, for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Any beneficial owner of Securities issued under this Indenture represented by a Global Security will be able to obtain from the relevant Depositary, upon request and subject to certain limitations set forth in this Indenture, a certificate representing its interest in the relevant Global Security in accordance with the Argentine Securities Law. This certificate will enable such beneficial owner to initiate legal action before any competent court in Argentina, including a summary proceeding, to obtain overdue amounts under such Securities.

Section 7.06. Prescription. All claims against the Bank for the payment of principal of or interest or any other amounts payable on or in respect of any Security (and Additional Amounts, if any) will prescribe unless made within five years for principal and two years for interest from the date on which such payment first became due, or a shorter period if provided by applicable law.

Section 7.07. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(a) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as Trustee of an express trust for the whole amount of principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid for the Securities of such Series (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 8.06.

Section 7.08. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder) and the holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Bank, its creditors or its property, and unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the holders in any election of a Trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any custodian, receiver, assignee, Trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each holder to make payments to the Trustee and in the event that the Trustee consents to the making of such payments directly to the holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 8.06.

Section 7.09. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 7, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First: to the Trustee and Agents for all amounts due hereunder;

Second: in case the principal of the Securities in respect of which moneys have been collected shall not have become and be then due and payable, to the payment of overdue interest (including Additional Amounts) on such Securities in default in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest (including Additional Amounts), with interest upon the overdue installments of interest (including Additional Amounts) at the rate or rates of interest specified in such Securities, such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference;

Third: in case the principal of the Securities of such Series in respect of which moneys have been collected shall have become and shall be then due and payable, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon all such Securities for principal and interest (including Additional Amounts), with interest upon the overdue principal, and upon overdue installments of interest (including Additional Amounts), at the rate or rates of interest specified in such Securities; and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon such Securities of such Series, then to the payment of such principal and interest (including Additional

Amounts), without preference or priority of principal over interest (including Additional Amounts), or of interest over principal, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of such Security over any other such Security, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Amounts); and

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

The Trustee, upon written notice to the Bank, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to holders pursuant to this Section 7.09.

Section 7.10. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any holder has instituted a proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and the proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to the holder, then, subject to any determination in the proceeding, the Bank, the Trustee and the holders will be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Bank, the Trustee and the holders will continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 7.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit (other than the Trustee) to file an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court may assess reasonable and documented costs, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant (other than the Trustee) in the suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit instituted by the Trustee, suit by a holder to enforce payment of principal of or interest on any Security on the respective due dates, or a suit by holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any Series.

Section 7.12. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as provided in Section 7.04, no right or remedy conferred or reserved to the Trustee or to the holders under this Indenture is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and all such rights and remedies are, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, will not prevent the concurrent assertion or exercise of any other right or remedy.

Section 7.13. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default will impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Subject to Section 7.04, every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the holders, as the case may be.

ARTICLE 8
THE TRUSTEE

Section 8.01. Duties of Trustee.

(a) In the event an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notification in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it under this Indenture and use the same degree of care that a prudent person would use in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

However, the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein) and shall be entitled to seek advice from legal counsel in relation thereto.

(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(i) this Section 8.01(c) does not limit the effect of Section 8.01(a);

(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it is proved that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Article 8;

Section 8.02. Certain Rights of the Trustee.

(a) The Trustee may refrain from taking any action in any jurisdiction if the taking of such action in that jurisdiction would, in its opinion, based upon legal advice in the relevant jurisdiction, be contrary to any law of that jurisdiction or, to the extent applicable, the State of New York. Furthermore, the Trustee may also refrain from taking such action if such action would otherwise render it liable to any person in that jurisdiction, the State of New York or if, in its opinion based upon such legal advice, it would not have the power to do the relevant thing in that jurisdiction by virtue of any applicable law in that jurisdiction, in the State of New York or if it is determined by any court or other competent authority in that jurisdiction, in the State of New York that it does not have such power.

(h) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the holders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such holders shall have offered to the Trustee indemnity and/or other security satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by it in compliance with such request, order or direction.

(i) In the event the Trustee receives inconsistent or conflicting requests and indemnity from two or more groups of holders, each representing less than the requisite majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee, in its sole discretion, may determine what action, if any, shall be taken and shall be held harmless and shall not incur any liability for its failure to act until such inconsistency or conflict is, in its opinion, resolved, and absent willful misconduct or gross negligence, the Trustee shall not be liable for acting in good faith on instructions believed by them to be genuine and from the proper party.

Section 8.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee or any Agent thereof may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or any Agent of thereof and may otherwise deal with the Bank and receive, collect, hold and retain collections from the Bank with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Trustee or an Affiliate or Agent. The Trustee and its Affiliates and Agents are entitled to enter into business transactions with the Bank or any of its Affiliates without accounting for any profit resulting from such transactions. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days after the date it has acquired such conflicting interest or resign to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. To the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to Securities of more than one Series.

Section 8.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee (a) makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute this Indenture and authenticate the Securities, (b) is not accountable for the Bank’s use or application of the proceeds from the Securities and (c) is not responsible for any statement in the Securities other than its certificate of authentication.

Section 8.05. Notice of Default. If any Default occurs with respect to any Series of Securities and is continuing and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice of such Default, the Trustee will send notice of the Default to each holder of such Series of Securities within 90 days after it occurs, unless the Default has been cured; provided that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Series of

Securities, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as the Board of Directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officer of the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the holders.

Section 8.06. Compensation And Indemnity. (a) The Bank will pay the Trustee compensation for its services as agreed upon in writing. The compensation of the Trustee is not limited by any law on compensation of a Trustee of an express trust. The Bank will reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

(b) The Bank will indemnify the Trustee and Agents or their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents for, and hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or documented expense (including the compensation and reasonable costs and documented expenses of its agents and counsel) arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the trusts hereunder and the performance of its duties and the exercise of its rights hereunder, including in each of its capacities hereunder, except to the extent such loss, liability or expense is due to its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

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

(d) To secure the Bank’s payment obligations in this Section 8.06, the Trustee and the Agents have a lien senior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Securities.

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

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee in this Section 8.06, including its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, by each agent (including the Agents), any custodian and any other Person employed with due care to act as agent hereunder.

Section 8.07. Replacement of Trustee. (a) (i) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving 30 days written notice to the Bank.

(ii) The holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may remove the Trustee by 30 days’ written notice to the Trustee.

(iii) If the Trustee is no longer eligible under Section 8.09, the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such Series may petition any

court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such Securities.

(iv) The Bank may remove the Trustee by Bank Order if: (A) the Trustee is no longer eligible under Section 8.09; (B) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or an order or relief is entered with respect to the Trustee; (C) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or (D) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

Furthermore, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Bank may, in its discretion, remove the Trustee at any time by giving 30 days’ written notice. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee, will become effective only upon (i) notice to the CNV of such appointment and (ii) such successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section.

(b) If the Trustee has been removed by the holders, holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series at the time Outstanding may appoint a successor Trustee with respect to such Securities with the consent of the Bank. Otherwise, if the Trustee resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Bank will promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such Series. If the successor Trustee does not deliver its written acceptance within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the expense of the Bank), the Bank or the holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(c) Upon delivery by the successor Trustee of a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Bank, (i) the retiring Trustee will transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 8.06, (ii) the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and (iii) the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. Upon request of any successor Trustee, the Bank will execute any and all instruments for fully and vesting in and confirming to the successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts. The Bank will give notice of any resignation and any removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all holders and to the CNV, and include in the notice the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

Section 8.08. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or national banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or national banking association without any further act will be the successor Trustee with the same effect as if the successor Trustee had been named as the Trustee in this Indenture.

Section 8.09. Eligibility. This Indenture must always have a Trustee that is a corporation or national banking association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate Trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state

authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

Section 8.10. Representative of the Trustee in Argentina. (a) As long as it is required by Argentine law or by the CNV Rules, the Trustee will have a representative in Argentina for the sole purpose of receiving notices from the CNV and/or the holders.

No implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Section 8.10(b), against the Representative of the Trustee in Argentina. It is further acknowledged that the Representative of the Trustee in Argentina is not and shall not be considered as if it were the Trustee’s attorney-in-fact. The duties of the Representative of the Trustee in Argentina as of the date hereof are solely to: (i) receive from the holders, the Bank, and any governmental or regulatory authority or entity in Argentina, all letters, claims, requests, notice or any other document required by Argentine law or by the CNV Rules to be sent to, and received by, the Trustee, (ii) deliver to the Trustee, within three Business Days after its receipt, all such letters, claims, requests, notices or documents, (iii) following the express instructions of the Trustee, respond to or answer such letters, claims, requests, notices or documents, (iv) call a meeting of the holders pursuant to Section 10.06, and (v) take any other action as instructed by the Trustee.

Section 8.11. Appointment of Co-Trustee.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the trust may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments necessary to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the trust, or any part hereof, and subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable.

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

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

(ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

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

(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article 8. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection or rights (including the rights to compensation, reimbursement and indemnification hereunder) to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.

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

ARTICLE 9
DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE

Section 9.01. Discharge of Bank’s Obligations. The Bank may, at its option, at any time elect to have either Section 9.02 or Section 9.03 applied to any Series of Securities, unless otherwise designated pursuant to the terms of such Securities established as set forth in Section 3.01, in each case upon compliance with the conditions set forth in this Article 9.

Section 9.02. Total Defeasance. If the Bank shall exercise the option provided in Section 9.01 to have this Section 9.02 apply with respect to all Outstanding Securities of any Series of Securities, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9.04, the Bank will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of such

Securities (except for the obligations to register the transfer or exchange of Securities, replace stolen, lost or mutilated Securities, maintain paying agencies and hold moneys for payment in trust) (hereinafter “total defeasance”). Subject to compliance with this Section, the Bank may exercise its option under this Section notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 9.03 for such Securities. If the Bank exercises the “legal defeasance” option, any payment on such Securities may not be accelerated due to an Event of Default with respect thereto.

Section 9.03. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Bank’s exercise of the option provided in Section 9.01 to have this Section 9.03 applied to all the Outstanding Securities of any Series, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9.04, except as otherwise may be provided pursuant to the terms of the Securities established pursuant to Section 3.01, the Bank, as applicable, need not comply with the covenants set forth in Sections 5.02, 5.09, 5.10, 5.12 and 5.13, and clauses (b), (d), (e) and (f) of Section 7.01 will no longer constitute Events of Default.

Section 9.04. Application of Trust Money. In order to exercise the options set forth in Section 9.02 or Section 9.03 above the Bank must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, (1) money, or (2) U.S. Government Obligations, or (3) a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (and Additional Amounts, if any) in respect of the Securities then Outstanding on the Stated Maturity of such Securities. The defeasance options set forth in Section 9.02 or Section 9.03 above will become effective 91 days after such deposit if and only if the Bank delivers to the Trustee: (i) an Opinion of Counsel in the United States experienced in such matters to the effect (x) that the holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge of certain obligations, which in the case of Section 9.02 must be based on a change in law or a ruling by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred; and (x) that the defeasance trust is not, or is not required to be registered as, an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate as to compliance with all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of such Securities. If the Bank has deposited or caused to be deposited money or U.S. Government Obligations to pay or discharge the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Outstanding Securities to and including a Redemption Date on which all of the Outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, such Redemption Date shall be irrevocably designated by a Board Resolution of the Bank delivered to the Trustee on or prior to the date of deposit of such money or U.S. Government Obligations and such resolutions shall be accompanied by an irrevocable request from the Bank that the Trustee give notice of such redemption in the name of and at expense of the Bank not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to such Redemption Date in accordance with this Indenture.

The Bank shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to this Section 9 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the holders of Outstanding Securities.

Section 9.05. Repayment to Bank; Prescription. Subject to Section 8.06, Section 9.01, Section 9.02 or Section 9.03, any monies deposited with or paid to the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of or interest or any other amounts payable on or in respect of the Securities (and Additional Amounts, if any) and not applied but remaining unclaimed for five years for principal or any other amount and two years for interest after the date upon which such principal or interest or other amounts have become due and payable will, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law, be repaid to the Bank by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, and the holder of the Securities will, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property laws, thereafter look only to the Bank for any payment that such holder may be entitled to collect, and all liability of the Trustee or any Paying Agent with respect to such monies will thereupon cease.

All claims against the Bank for the payment of principal of or interest or any other amounts payable on or in respect of the Securities (and Additional Amounts, if any) will prescribe unless made within five years for principal and two years for interest from the date on which such payment first became due, or a shorter period if provided by applicable law.

Section 9.06. Reinstatement. If and for so long as the Trustee is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations held in trust pursuant to Section 9.01, Section 9.02 or Section 9.03 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or Government Agency enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Bank’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities will be reinstated as though no such deposit in trust had been made. If the Bank makes any payment of principal of or interest on any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, it will be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held in trust.

Section 9.07. Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities therein expressly provided for) as to all Securities issued hereunder, when:

(a) either:

(i) all Securities that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Securities that have been replaced or paid and Securities for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Bank or discharged from such trust, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(ii) all Securities that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable or will become due and payable within one year, either at their Stated Maturity or upon being called for redemption, and the Bank or any Subsidiary has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the holders, cash in U.S. Dollars, in amounts sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Securities not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, and accrued interest

to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or redemption date, as the case may be;

(b) the Bank has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture;

(c) the Bank has delivered an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied; and

(d) the Bank has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply any deposited money toward the payment of the Securities at maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Bank to the Trustee, including the payment and indemnity obligations, any registrar, or paying agent under this Indenture shall survive and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to clause (a) above, the obligations of the Trustee with respect to the application of trust money under this Indenture will survive.

ARTICLE 10
CONCERNING THE HOLDERS

Section 10.01. Evidence of Action Taken by the Holders.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by a specified percentage in principal amount of the Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such specified percentage of holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments is or are delivered to the Trustee. Proof of execution of any instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Bank, if made in the manner provided in this Article.

Section 10.02. Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of Securities; Record Date.

The execution of any instrument by a Holder or his agent or proxy may be proved in accordance with Section 10.06 and such reasonable applicable rules and regulations or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding of Securities shall be proved by the Register maintained pursuant to Section 3.05. The Bank, by or pursuant to a resolution of its Board of Directors, may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders of Securities entitled to vote or consent to any action referred to in Section 10.01, which record date may be set at any time or from time to time by notice in writing to the Trustee, for any date or dates (in the case of any adjournment or reconsideration) not more than 60 days nor less than ten days prior to the proposed date of such vote or consent, and thereafter, notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, only Holders of Securities of record on such record date shall be entitled to so vote or give such consent or revoke such vote or consent.

Section 10.03. Holders to be Treated as Owners.

The Bank, the Trustee, the Agents and any agent of the Bank, the Trustee or the Agents may deem and treat any Person in whose name any Security shall be registered upon the Register as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, interest on such Security (including Additional Amounts) and for all other purposes; and none of the Bank, the Trustee, any Agent and any agent of the Bank, the Trustee or any Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any such Person, or upon its order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any such Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Bank, the Trustee, the Agents or any agent of the Bank, the Trustee or any Agent, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by any depositary, as Holder of such Global Security, or impair, as between such depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such Global Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of such depositary (or its nominee), as Holder of such Global Security.

Section 10.04. Securities Owned by the Bank Deemed Not Outstanding.

In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities have concurred in any request, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Securities that are owned by the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries or any other obligor on the Securities with respect to which such determination is being made shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such request, consent or waiver, only Securities that a Responsible Officer has been informed in writing in an Officers’ Certificate to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned 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 Bank or any of its Subsidiaries or any other obligor upon such Securities. In case of a dispute as to such right, the advice of counsel shall be full protection in respect of any decision made by the Trustee in accordance with such advice. Upon request of the Trustee, the Bank shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officers’ Certificate listing and identifying all Securities, if any, known by the Bank to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above-described Persons, and the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers’ Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Securities not listed therein are Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.

Section 10.05. Right of Revocation of Action Taken.

At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 10.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities or of the percentage of votes cast, as the case may be, specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Security the serial number of which is shown by the evidence to be included among the serial numbers of the Securities the Holders of

which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice at the Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in this Article, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the Holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Security and of any Securities issued in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon any such Security. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities or of the percentage of votes cast, as the case may be, specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Bank, the Trustee and the Holders of all the Securities affected by such action.

Section 10.06. Holders’ Meetings.

(a) Each of the Bank (through the Board of Directors or the Supervisory Committee of the Bank) and the Trustee may (but shall not be required) at any time call a meeting of the Holders of the Securities of any Series for the purpose of entering into a supplemental indenture as provided in Section 11.02 or waiving a past default as provided in Section 7.02. In addition, a meeting of the Holders of Securities of a Series may be called by the Trustee or the Bank (through the Board of Directors or the Supervisory Committee of the Bank) at its discretion or upon the request of the Holders of at least 5% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a Series, pursuant to the Negotiable Obligations Law. In the case of a request to call a meeting by Holders, the Bank shall notify the Trustee in writing of such request. In the event the Board of Directors or the Supervisory Committee of the Bank shall fail to call a meeting requested by the Trustee or the Holders as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, the meeting may be called by the CNV or by a competent court. Meetings will be held simultaneously in the City of Buenos Aires and in New York City by any means of telecommunications which permits the participants to hear and speak to each other, and any such simultaneous meeting shall be deemed to constitute a single meeting for purposes of the quorum and voting percentages applicable to such meeting. If a meeting is being held pursuant to a request of Securityholders, the agenda for such meeting shall be that set forth in the request made by such Securityholders and such meeting shall be convened to be held within 40 days from the date such request is received by the Bank and the Trustee. Notice of any meeting of Securityholders, setting forth the date, time and place of such meeting and the agenda therefor (which shall describe in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting and the requirement for attendance) shall be given as specified in Section 12.01 not less than 10 nor more than 30 days prior to the date fixed for the meeting and shall be published at the expense of the Bank for five business days in Argentina in the Boletín Oficial de la República Argentina (Official Gazette of Argentina), in a newspaper of general circulation in Argentina and in the Bulletin of the BASE (as long as the Securities are listed on the BASE). Meetings of Holders may be simultaneously convened for two dates, in case the initial meeting were to be adjourned for lack of quorum. However, for meetings that include in the agenda items requiring consent of each Holder of a Security, notice of a new meeting resulting from adjournment of the initial meeting for lack of quorum will be given not less than 8 days prior to the date fixed for such new meeting and will be published for three business days in the Boletín Oficial de la República Argentina (Official Gazette of Argentina), a newspaper of general circulation in Argentina and in the Bulletin of the BASE (as long as the Securities are listed on the BASE). To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Securityholders a Person shall be (i) a Holder of one or more Securities as

With respect to all matters not contemplated in this Indenture, meetings of Securityholders will be held in accordance with Argentine Business Companies Law.

(b) The quorum at any meeting called to adopt a resolution will be persons holding or representing a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a Series and at any reconvened adjourned meetings will be the persons present at such reconvened adjourned meeting. At a meeting or a reconvened adjourned meeting duly convened and at which a quorum is present, any resolution to modify or amend, or to waive compliance with, any provision of the Securities of any Series (other than items requiring consent of each Holder of a Security) will be validly passed and decided if approved by the persons entitled to vote a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such Series then Outstanding represented and voting at the meeting. Any instrument given by or on behalf of any Holder of a Security in connection with any consent to any such modification, amendment or waiver will be irrevocable once given and will be conclusive and binding on all subsequent Holders of such Security. Any modifications, amendments or waivers to the Indenture or to the Securities of a Series will be conclusive and binding upon all Holders of Securities of such Series whether or not they have given such consent or were present at any meeting, and on all Securities of such Series, provided that no such modifications, amendments or waivers, without consent of each Holder of a Security of such Series at the time Outstanding, shall affect any of the items included in Section 11.02.

(c) Any Securityholder who has executed an instrument in writing appointing a Person as proxy shall be deemed to be present for the purposes of determining a quorum and be deemed to have voted; provided that such Securityholder shall be considered as present or voting only with respect to the matters covered by such instrument in writing. Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Securityholders of a Series duly held in accordance with this Section shall be binding on all the Securityholders of such Series whether or not present or represented at the meeting.

(d) The appointment of any proxy shall be proved by having the signature of the Person executing the proxy guaranteed or certified by any notary public, bank or trust company or judicially certified in the manner provided under Argentine law. The following persons may not act as proxies: members of the Board of Directors or of the Supervisory Committee of the Bank and managers and other employees of the Bank. The holding of Securities shall be proved by the Register maintained in accordance with Section 3.05; provided that the holding of a beneficial interest in a DTC Global Security shall be proved by a certificate or certificates of DTC and the holding of a beneficial interest in an Euroclear/Clearstream Global Security shall be proved by a certificate or certificates of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, or the Common Depositary therefor.

(e) A representative of the Trustee shall act as the chairman of the meeting. If the Trustee fails to designate a representative to act as chairman of the meeting, the Bank shall

designate a member of the Supervisory Committee to act as chairman of the meeting. If the Bank fails to designate such a person, the chairman of the meeting shall be (i) a person elected by vote of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of the relevant Series represented at the meeting, (ii) a representative of the CNV or (iii) a person appointed by a competent court. If the meeting is called by the CNV or by a competent court, the CNV or the competent court shall designate a person to act as chairman, in accordance with applicable CNV regulations. The secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of the relevant Series represented at the meeting. At any meeting of Securityholders of any Series, each Securityholder of such Series or proxy shall be entitled to cast one vote for each U.S. dollar or Dollar Equivalent in principal amount of the Securities held by such Holder or represented by such proxy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any meeting of Holders of more than one Series of Securities, a Holder of a Security which does not specify regular payments of interest, including without limitation, original issue discount Securities, shall be entitled to one vote at any such meeting for each U.S. dollar or Dollar Equivalent of the redemption value of such Security calculated as of the date of such meeting. Where Securities are denominated in one or more currencies other than U.S. dollars, the Dollar Equivalent of such Securities shall be calculated at the Exchange Rates on the date of such meeting or, in the case of written consents or notices, on such dates as the Bank shall designate for such purpose. No vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Security challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote except as a Holder or proxy. Any meeting of Holders duly called at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

(f) The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Securityholders shall be by written ballot on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Securityholders or proxies and on which shall be inscribed the serial number or numbers of the Securities held or represented by them. The chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of Securityholders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was published as provided above. The record shall be signed and verified by the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the Bank and the other to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

(g) If and for so long as the Securities of any Series are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for trading on the EuroMTF, the BASE or any other securities exchange, meetings of Holders of such Securities and notices thereof shall comply with the applicable rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, the BASE or such securities exchange, as applicable.

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

(d) The Trustee shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant to this Indenture and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that the Bank shall provide to the Trustee an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions (“Authorized Officers”) and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Bank whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Bank elects to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Bank understands and agrees that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Bank shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Bank and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Bank. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Bank agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Trustee and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Bank; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Trustee immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.

Section 12.02. Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent. (a) Upon any request or application by the Bank to the Trustee to take any action under this Indenture, the Bank will furnish to the Trustee:

(ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent have been complied with.

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

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

Section 12.03. Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion. Each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture must include:

The Bank designates, appoints and empowers CT Corporation System with offices at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, as the Bank’s authorized agent to receive for and on the Bank’s behalf service of summons or other legal process in any such action, suit or proceeding in the State of New York. Final judgment against the Bank in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction including the country in which the Bank is domiciled by suit on the judgment.

Nothing shall affect the right of the holders of the Securities or the Trustee to commence legal proceedings or otherwise xxx the Bank in the country in which it is domiciled or in any other court having jurisdiction or to serve process upon the Bank in any manner authorized by the laws of any such jurisdiction.

The Bank hereby further covenants and agrees that, for so long as any Security is Outstanding under this Indenture, the Bank will maintain a duly appointed agent for the service of summons and other legal process in New York, New York, United States of America, for purposes of any legal action, suit or proceeding brought by any holder of the Securities or the Trustee in respect of the Securities or this Indenture and shall keep the holders of the Securities and the Trustee advised of the identity and location of such agent. The Bank hereby further irrevocably consents, if for any reason there is no authorized agent for service of process in New York, to the service of process out of the said courts by mailing copies thereof by registered United States airmail postage prepaid to the Bank at the Bank’s address specified herein; and in such a case the Bank shall also receive by telex or confirmed facsimile, a copy of such process.

The serving of process in the manner provided in the paragraph above in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be deemed personal service and accepted by the Bank as such and shall be valid and binding upon the Bank for all the purposes of any such action, suit or proceeding.

In addition, the Bank hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Securities and this Indenture, brought in

the courts of the State of New York or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any claim that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Further, the Bank hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right the Bank may now or hereafter have to the removal to a United States Federal Court of any action brought in a state court of the State of New York.

To the extent that the Bank may, in any suit, action or proceeding brought in a court of the country in which the Bank is domiciled or elsewhere arising out of or in connection with the Securities or this Indenture, be entitled to the benefit of any provision of law requiring the Trustee or the holders of the Securities in such suit, action or proceeding to post security for the costs of the Bank, as the case may be, or to post a bond or guarantee (excepción de arraigo) or to take similar action, the Bank hereby irrevocably waives such benefit, in each case to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted under the laws of the country in which the Bank is domiciled or, as the case may be, such other jurisdiction.

To the extent that the Bank may be entitled in any jurisdiction to claim for itself or the Bank’s assets immunity, on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise, in respect of the Bank’s obligations under the Securities or this Indenture from any suit, execution, attachment (whether in aid or execution, before judgment or otherwise) or other legal process or to the extent that in any jurisdiction there may be attributed to the Bank or its assets such immunity (whether or not claimed), or to the extent it might have the right to have a jury trial, the Bank will irrevocably waive and agree not to, as the case may be, claim or exercise such immunity and right to jury trial to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction.

Section 12.05. Currency Indemnity. If a judgment or order given or made by any court for the payment of any amount in respect of any Security is expressed in a currency (the “judgment currency”) other than the currency (the “denomination currency”) in which such Securities are denominated or in which such amount is payable, the Bank will indemnify the relevant holder against any deficiency arising or resulting from any variation in rates of exchange between the date as of which the amount in the denomination currency is notionally converted into the amount in the judgment currency for the purposes of such judgment or order and the date of actual payment thereof. This indemnity will constitute a separate and independent obligation from the other obligations contained in the terms and conditions of the Securities, will give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, will apply irrespective of any indulgence granted from time to time and will continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum or sums in respect of amounts due in respect of the relevant Security or under any such judgment or order.

Section 12.06. No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. This Indenture may not be used to interpret another indenture or loan or debt agreement of the Bank or any Subsidiary of the Bank, and no such indenture or loan or debt agreement may be used to interpret this Indenture.

Section 12.07. Successors. All agreements of the Bank in this Indenture and the Securities will bind its successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture will bind its successor.

Section 12.08. Counterparts. The parties may sign this Indenture in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 12.09. Separability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 12.10. Table of Contents and Headings. The Table of Contents and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part of this Indenture and in no way modify or restrict any of the terms and provisions of this Indenture.

Section 12.11. No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees, Incorporators, Members or Stockholders. Except as specifically provided under Argentine law, no director, officer, employee, incorporator, member or stockholder of the Bank, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Bank under the Securities or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations. Each holder of Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. This waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the Article 34 of the Negotiable Obligations Law, Article 54 of the General Corporations Law, Sections 119 and 120 of the Argentine Capital Markets Law and other applicable Argentine regulations, or under federal securities laws and it is the view of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that such a waiver is against public policy.

Section 12.12. Force Majeure. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee, in any of its capacities under this Indenture, or any Agent be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture because of circumstances beyond its control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, strikes or work stoppages for any reason, embargo, government action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations or the like which restrict or prohibit the performance of such party’s obligations under this Indenture, inability to obtain material, equipment, or communications or computer facilities, or the failure of equipment or interruption of communications or computer facilities, and other causes beyond its control whether or not of the same class or kind as specifically named above.

Section 12.13. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. EACH OF THE BANK, THE HOLDERS AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE OR THE SECURITIES.

Section 12.14. Paying Agents, Transfer Agents, Registrars(a) . (a) The Bank may at any time appoint additional or alternative Registrars, Paying Agents, Transfer Agents and Calculation Agents and terminate the appointment thereof; provided, however, that (i) while any Securities are Outstanding, the Bank will maintain a Registrar, a Paying Agent and a Transfer Agent in New York City; (ii) as long as any Securities are listed on the official list of the

Luxembourg Stock Exchange for trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of the Euro MTF Market so require, at least one Paying Agent and Transfer Agent will be located in Luxembourg; and (iii) as long as it is required by Argentine law or by the CNV, the Bank will maintain a Registrar, a Paying Agent and a Transfer Agent in the City of Buenos Aires. In the event required by this Indenture, notice of any resignation, termination or appointment of any Registrar, Paying Agent or Transfer Agent, and of any change in the office through which any Registrar, Paying Agent or Transfer Agent will act, will be promptly given to the holders of the Securities in the manner described in Section 12.01 above and to the CNV.

(b) Notwithstanding and to the exclusion of any other term of this Indenture or any other agreements, arrangements, or understanding between the parties, each counterparty to a BRRD Party under this Indenture acknowledges and accepts that a BRRD Liability arising under this Indenture may be subject to the exercise of Bail-in Powers by the Relevant Resolution Authority, and acknowledges, accepts and agrees to be bound by:

(i) The effect of the exercise of Bail-in Powers by the Relevant Resolution Authority in relation to any BRRD Liability of any BRRD Party to it under this Indenture, that (without limitation) may include and result in any of the following, or some combination thereof:

(A) The reduction of all, or a portion, of the BRRD Liability or outstanding amounts due thereon;

(B) The conversion of all, or a portion, of the BRRD Liability into shares, other securities or other obligations of the relevant BRRD Party or another person (and the issue to or conferral on it of such shares, securities or obligations);

(D) The amendment or alteration of the amounts due in relation to the BRRD Liability, including any interest, if applicable, thereon, the maturity or the dates on which any payments are due, including by suspending payment for a temporary period; and

(ii) the variation of the terms of this Indenture, as deemed necessary by the Relevant Resolution Authority, to give effect to the exercise of Bail-in Powers by the Relevant Resolution Authority

Section 12.15. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act(a) . Subsequent to any qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, if any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. Subsequent to any qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, if any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

Section 12.16. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act. In order to comply with applicable tax laws (inclusive of rules, regulations and interpretations promulgated by competent authorities) related to the Indenture and Notes in effect from time to time (the “Applicable Law”) that a foreign financial institution, issuer, trustee, paying agent or other party is or has agreed to be subject to, the Bank agrees (i) to the extent permitted under applicable law, to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Trustee information requested by the Trustee that is in possession of the Bank and that is reasonably required about the parties and/or transactions (including any modification to the terms of such transactions) so the Trustee can determine whether it has tax related obligations under Applicable Law and (ii) that the Trustee shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from payments to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Law. Nothing in the immediately preceding sentence shall be construed as obligating the Bank to make any “gross up” payment or similar reimbursement in connection with a payment in respect of which amounts are so withheld or deducted.

Section 12.17. Concerning the Trustee as Calculation Agent.

The appointment of the Trustee as Calculation Agent hereunder shall apply only to those series or tranches of Floating Rate Notes for which no other Calculation Agent is designated in the applicable Pricing Supplement relating to the Floating Rate Notes and shall not apply to those series or tranches of Floating Rate Notes with respect to which The Bank of New York Mellon shall have advised the Bank that it is unwilling or unable to act hereunder as Calculation Agent. Subject to the foregoing, the Trustee shall act as Calculation Agent as an agent of the Bank for the purpose of determining the interest rate or rates of Floating Rate Notes settling in the form of Global Securities through DTC, Euroclear and/or Clearstream.

The Bank agrees to deliver to the Calculation Agent, prior to the issuance of any Floating Rate Notes, copies of the proposed forms of such Floating Rate Notes, including copies of the terms and conditions relating to the determination of the interest rate thereunder. The Bank shall not issue any Floating Rate Note prior to the receipt of confirmation from the Calculation Agent of its acceptance of the proposed form of such Note. No amendment to the provisions of the Floating Rate Notes relating to the duties or obligations of the Calculation Agent hereunder may become effective without the prior written consent of the Calculation Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The Bank shall notify the Calculation Agent of the issuance of any Floating Rate Notes prior to the issuance thereof and at the time of such issuance shall deliver to the Calculation Agent the information required to be provided by the Bank for the calculation of the applicable interest rates thereunder. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the applicable interest rates for Floating Rate Notes in accordance with the terms of such Floating Rate Notes, this Indenture and the provisions of the applicable supplemental indenture.

Upon the determination of an interest rate applicable to a Floating Rate Note, the Calculation Agent shall promptly notify the Bank, the Trustee and any Paying Agent (in each case, if not The Bank of New York Mellon) of such interest rate. Upon the request of the holder of a Floating Rate Note, the Calculation Agent shall advise such holder of the interest rate then in effect and, if different, the interest rate which will become effective as a result of a determination already made with respect to such Floating Rate Note.

In acting under this Indenture and any Supplemental Indenture and in connection with the Floating Rate Notes, the Calculation Agent is acting solely as agent for the Bank and does not assume any obligation toward, or any relationship of agency or trust for or with, any of the holders of the Floating Rate Notes.

Nothing in this Section 12.17 shall be construed as limiting any other rights, privileges, protections, indemnities, immunities or benefits afforded the Trustee or the Calculation Agent hereunder.

EXHIBIT C

FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITIES—TERMS AND CONDITIONS

IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE PROVISIONS STATED HEREIN AND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN A PRICING SUPPLEMENT, IF ANY, ATTACHED TO THIS NOTE, THE PROVISIONS OF THE PRICING SUPPLEMENT WILL PREVAIL.

General

The Notes are to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of [·], 2017 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Bank, The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), registrar (in such capacity, the “Registrar”), paying agent (in such capacity, the “Paying Agent”, and together with any other paying agents appointed by the Bank, in their capacities as such, the “Paying Agents”), transfer agent (in such capacity, a “Transfer Agent”, and together with any other transfer agents appointed by the Bank, in their respective capacities as such, the “Transfer Agents”) and calculation agent (in such capacity, a “Calculation Agent”, and together with any other calculation agents appointed by the Bank, in their respective capacities as such, the “Calculation Agents”), and Banco Santander Rio S.A., representative of the Trustee in Argentina (in such capacity, the “Representative of the Trustee in Argentina”).

The following summaries of certain provisions of the Indenture and the Notes do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the Indenture and the Notes, including the definitions therein of certain terms. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Indenture.

Notes may be issued from time to time in one or more Series under the Indenture. The Notes of all Series outstanding at any one time under the Program are limited to an aggregate amount of US$800,000,000 (or its equivalent in a Specified Currency). The particular terms of each issue of Notes, including, without limitation, the date of issue, issue price, currency of denomination and payment, maturity, interest rate or interest rate formula, if any, and, if applicable, redemption, repayment and index provisions, will be set forth for each such issue in the Notes and in the applicable Pricing Supplement. With respect to any particular Note, the description of the Notes herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and to the extent inconsistent therewith is superseded by, such Note and the applicable Pricing Supplement.

The Notes will qualify as “obligaciones negociables simples no convertibles” under the Negotiable Obligations Law and will be entitled to the benefits set forth therein and subject to the procedural requirements thereof. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable supplemental indenture, the Notes will constitute direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Bank and will rank at least pari passu in right of payment with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Bank (other than

C-1

obligations preferred by statute or by operation of law). The Bank may issue, under an indenture supplemental hereto, subordinated notes. In addition to the priority of certain other creditors described in the preceding paragraphs, subordinated notes will rank junior in right of payment to the Bank’s secured Indebtedness and, to the extent set forth therein, certain of the Bank’s unsecured and unsubordinated Indebtedness (as well as obligations preferred by statute or by operation of law). The Bank may issue, under an indenture supplemental hereto, guaranteed notes.

Unless previously redeemed, a Note will mature on the date (the “Stated Maturity”) no less than 30 days from its date of issue as specified on the face thereof and in the applicable Pricing Supplement.

Each Note may be denominated in any currency (a “Specified Currency”) as shall be specified on the face thereof and in the applicable Pricing Supplement. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, payments on each Note will be made in the applicable Specified Currency; provided that in certain circumstances, as may be described in the applicable Pricing Supplement, payments on any such Note denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars may, to the extent permitted by Argentine law, be made in U.S. dollars. See “—Payment of Principal and Interest” below.

Each Note will bear interest, if any, at the interest rate or interest rate formula set forth in the applicable Pricing Supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Pricing Supplement, each Note may bear interest at a fixed rate (a “Fixed Rate Note”) or at a rate determined by reference to an interest rate basis or other interest rate formula (a “Floating Rate Note”) or may bear no interest (a “Zero Coupon Note”). See “Interest Rate” below.

The Notes may also be issued with principal and/or interest payable, to the extent permitted by Argentine law, in one or more currencies different from the currency in which such Notes are denominated (“Dual Currency Notes”), or linked to an index and/or a formula (“Indexed Notes”). Dual Currency and Indexed Notes may be issued to bear interest on a fixed or floating rate basis or on a non-interest bearing basis or a combination of such bases, in which case provisions relating to Fixed Rate Notes, Floating Rate Notes, Zero Coupon Notes or a combination thereof, respectively, shall, where the context so admits, apply to such Dual Currency or Indexed Notes. References herein to Notes denominated in a Specified Currency shall, unless the context otherwise requires, include Dual Currency Notes payable in such Specified Currency.

The Notes may be issued as Original Issue Discount Notes. An “Original Issue Discount Note” or “OID Note”, including any Zero Coupon Note, is a Note which is issued at a price lower than the principal amount thereof, and which provides that upon redemption or acceleration of the Stated Maturity thereof, the amount payable to the Holder of such Note will be determined in accordance with the terms of such Note, and will be an amount that is less than the amount payable on the Stated Maturity of such Note.

C-2

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the Notes will not be subject to any sinking fund and will not be redeemable prior to their Stated Maturity, except in the event of certain changes involving Argentine taxes.

If specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement with respect to a Series of Notes, the Bank may from time to time, without the consent of Holders of Notes outstanding, create and issue additional Notes of such Series provided such additional Notes have the same terms and conditions as the Notes of that Series in all respects (except for the date of issue, the issue price, the applicable legends and, if applicable, the first payment of interest) and the additional Notes shall form a single Series with the previously outstanding Series of Notes.

Interest Rate

General

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, each Fixed Rate Note or Floating Rate Note (each as defined below) will bear interest from (and including) the issue date or such other date (the “Interest Commencement Date”) specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (or, if such Note is a Floating Rate Note and the Interest Reset Period (as each such term is defined below) is daily or weekly, from the day following the most recent Regular Record Date) to which interest on such Note has been paid or duly provided for at the fixed rate per annum, or at the rate per annum determined pursuant to the interest rate formula, stated in the applicable Pricing Supplement, until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest will be payable on each Interest Payment Date and at Stated Maturity or upon redemption or acceleration, as specified under “Payment of Principal and Interest” below.

Each Note bearing interest will bear interest at either (a) a fixed rate or (b) a variable rate determined by reference to an interest rate basis (including LIBOR (a “LIBOR Note”), the Treasury Rate (a “Treasury Rate Note”) or such other interest rate basis as is set forth in the applicable Pricing Supplement, including but not limited to BADLAR Private Banks Rate and/or CER (Coeficiente de Estabilización y Referencia or Reference Stabilization Index rate), which may be adjusted by adding or subtracting the Spread and/or multiplying by the Spread Multiplier. The “Spread” is the number of basis points specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement as being applicable to the interest rate for such Note, and the “Spread Multiplier” is the percentage specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement as being applicable to the interest rate for such Note. A Floating Rate Note may also have either or both of the following as specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement: (a) a maximum numerical interest rate limitation, or ceiling, on the rate of interest which may accrue during any interest period (a “Maximum Rate”); and (b) a minimum numerical interest rate limitation, or floor, on the rate of interest which may accrue during any interest period (a “Minimum Rate”).

“BADLAR Private Banks Rate” means is the average of the interest rates offered for fixed term operations over a million pesos by private banking entities for a term of between 30 and 35 days. This rate is published by the Central Bank in its web site (xxxx://xxx.xxxx.xxx.xx/ ).

C-3

“CER” means a daily adjustment index issued by the Central Bank, which reflects the rate of inflation. This calculation is based on the registered fluctuation of the Consumer Prices, Index which is issued by the National Institute of Statistics and Census.

“Index Maturity” means, with respect to a Floating Rate Note, the period to maturity of the instrument or obligation on which the interest rate formula is based, as specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement.

Fixed Rate Notes

Fixed Rate Notes shall bear interest from (and including) the Interest Commencement Date specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement at the rate or rates per annum so specified (the “Fixed Rate(s) of Interest”) payable in arrears on the Interest Payment Date(s) in each year and on the Stated Maturity or upon redemption or acceleration. The first payment of interest will be made on the Interest Payment Date next following the Interest Commencement Date and, if the period from the Interest Commencement Date to the Interest Payment Date differs from the period between subsequent Interest Payment Dates, will equal the “Initial Broken Amount” specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement. If the Stated Maturity is not an Interest Payment Date, interest from and including the preceding Interest Payment Date (or the Interest Commencement Date, as the case may be) to (but excluding) the Stated Maturity will equal the “Final Broken Amount” specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement.

Floating Rate Notes

General. The applicable Pricing Supplement relating to a Floating Rate Note will designate an interest rate basis (the “Interest Rate Basis”) for such Floating Rate Note. The Interest Rate Basis for each Floating Rate Note will be: (a) LIBOR, in which case such Note will be a LIBOR Note: (b) the Treasury Rate, in which case such Note will be a Treasury Rate Note; or (c) such other interest rate basis as is set forth in such Pricing Supplement, including but not limited to BADLAR Private Banks Rate and/or CER (Coeficiente de Estabilización y Referencia or Reference Stabilization Index rate). The Pricing Supplement for a Floating Rate Note will also specify, if applicable, the Calculation Agent, the Index Maturity, the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, the Maximum Rate, the Minimum Rate, the Regular Record Dates and the Initial Interest Rate, the Interest Payment Dates, the Calculation Dates, the Interest Determination Dates, the Interest Reset Period and the Interest Reset Dates (each as defined below) with respect to such Note.

The rate of interest on each Floating Rate Note will be reset and become effective daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually or otherwise, as specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement (each an “Interest Reset Period”); provided that (a) the interest rate in effect from the date of issue to the first Interest Reset Date with respect to a Floating Rate Note will be the initial interest rate as set forth in the applicable Pricing Supplement (the “Initial Interest Rate”) and (b) unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the interest rate in effect for the ten days immediately prior to Stated Maturity of a Note will be that in effect on the tenth day preceding such Stated Maturity. The dates on which the rate of interest will be reset (each an “Interest Reset Date”) will be specified in the applicable Pricing

C-4

Supplement. If any Interest Reset Date for any Floating Rate Note would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day with respect to such Floating Rate Note, the Interest Reset Date for such Floating Rate Note shall be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day with respect to such Floating Rate Note, except that, in the case of a LIBOR Note, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the next preceding Business Day.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, “Interest Determination Dates” will be as set forth below. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for a LIBOR Note (the “LIBOR Interest Determination Date”) will be the second Business Day preceding such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for a Treasury Rate Note (the “Treasury Interest Determination Date”) will be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls and on which Treasury bills would normally be auctioned. Treasury bills are usually sold at auction on the Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is usually held on the following Tuesday, except that such auction may be on the preceding Friday. If, as the result of a legal holiday, an auction is so held on the preceding Friday, such Friday will be the Treasury Interest Determination Date pertaining to the Interest Reset Date occurring in the next succeeding week. If an auction date shall fall on any Interest Reset Date for a Treasury Rate Note, then such Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first Business Day immediately following such auction date.

All percentages resulting from any calculations referred to in the applicable Pricing Supplement will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or 0.0987655)), and all Specified Currency amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent rounded upward) or nearest equivalent in Specified Currencies other than U.S. dollars.

In addition to any Maximum Rate which may be applicable to any Floating Rate Note pursuant to the above provisions, the interest rate on Floating Rate Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law.

Upon the request of the Holder of any Floating Rate Note, the relevant Calculation Agent will provide the interest rate then in effect, and, if determined, the interest rate which will become effective on the next Interest Reset Date with respect to such Floating Rate Note. The relevant Calculation Agent’s determination of any interest rate will be final and binding in the absence of manifest error.

Upon request of the Bank, the relevant Calculation Agent will cause notice of the rate of interest and the amount of interest for each interest period and the relevant Interest Payment Date to be given to the Bank and the Trustee as soon as possible after their determination but in no event later than the fourth Business Day thereafter and, in the case of Notes listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for trading on the EuroMTF, no later than the first day of the relevant Interest Reset Period, and otherwise within 30 days of the relevant Payment Date. Such notice will be in accordance with the provisions of the Notes relating to notices to Holders of Notes. The amount of interest and the Interest Payment Date may subsequently be amended (or

C-5

appropriate alternative arrangements as may be made by way of adjustment) without notice in the event of an extension or shortening of the Interest Reset Period.

The manner in which the interest rate for any Floating Rate Note that is not a LIBOR Note or a Treasury Rate Note will be determined as set forth in the applicable Pricing Supplement.

LIBOR Notes. LIBOR Notes will bear interest at the interest rates (calculated with reference to LIBOR and the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any, subject to the Maximum Rate or the Minimum Rate, if any), and will be payable on the dates, specified on the face of the LIBOR Note and in the applicable Pricing Supplement.

(i)Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Pricing Supplement, LIBOR with respect to any Interest Reset Date will be determined by the relevant Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions. On the relevant LIBOR Interest Determination Date, LIBOR will be determined on the basis of either of the following, as specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement:

(a) the offered rates for deposits in the Specified Currency having the specified Index Maturity, commencing on the next succeeding Interest Reset Date, which appear on the display designated as page “LIBOR01” or “LIBOR02,” as applicable, on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or such other page as may replace such pages on that service for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates of major banks for deposits in the Specified Currency) (each a “Reuters Screen LIBOR Page”) as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date. If at least two such offered rates appear on the Reuters Screen LIBOR Page, LIBOR with respect to such Interest Reset Date will be the arithmetic mean of such offered rates as determined by the relevant Calculation Agent. If fewer than two offered rates appear, LIBOR with respect to such Interest Reset Date will be determined as described in (ii) below; or

(b) the offered rates for deposits in the Specified Currency having the specified Index Maturity, commencing on the next succeeding Interest Reset Date, which appear on the display designated as page “BBAM1” on the Bloomberg Service (or such other page as may replace such page on that service for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates of major banks for deposits in the Specified Currency) (“Bloomberg Page”) as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date. If no such offered rate appears, LIBOR with respect to such Interest Reset Date will be determined as described in (ii) below.

If neither “Reuters Screen LIBOR Page” nor a “Bloomberg Page” is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, LIBOR will be determined as if a Reuters Screen LIBOR Page had been so specified.

(ii) With respect to a LIBOR Interest Determination Date on which fewer than two offered rates for the applicable Index Maturity appear on a Reuters Screen LIBOR Page as

C-6

described in (i)(a) above, or on which no rate appears on the Bloomberg Page as described in (i)(b) above, as applicable, LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the rates at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date at which deposits in the Specified Currency having the specified Index Maturity are offered to prime banks in the London interbank market by four major banks in the London interbank market selected by the Bank (and notified to the Calculation Agent) commencing on the second Business Day immediately following such LIBOR Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than US$1,000,000 (or its approximate equivalent in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars) that in the Bank’s judgment is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time (a “Representative Amount”). The relevant Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of such banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR with respect to such Interest Reset Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR with respect to such Interest Reset Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date by three major banks in New York City, selected by the Bank, for loans in the Specified Currency to leading European banks having the specified Index Maturity commencing on the Interest Reset Date and in a Representative Amount; provided that if fewer than three banks selected as aforesaid by the Bank are quoting as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR with respect to such Interest Reset Date will be LIBOR in effect on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date.

Treasury Rate Notes. Treasury Rate Notes will bear interest at the interest rates (calculated with reference to the Treasury Rate and the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any, subject to the Maximum Rate or Minimum Rate, if any) and will be payable on the dates specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the “Calculation Date” with respect to a Treasury Interest Determination Date will be the tenth day after such Treasury Interest Determination Date or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Pricing Supplement, “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Interest Reset Date, the rate for the auction on the relevant Treasury Interest Determination Date of direct obligations of the United States (“Treasury Bills”) having the Index Maturity specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, as such rate appears on the display of (i) Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or any successor service) on page “RTRTSY1” or “RTRTSY2,” as applicable (or any other pages as may replace such pages), or (ii) Bloomberg Services (or any successor service) on page “BTMM” or “PX1,” as applicable (or any other pages as may replace such pages). In the event that such rate does not appear on any such page by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Treasury Interest Determination Date, then the Treasury Rate for such Interest Reset Date shall be the rate on such date as published in H.15 Daily Update under the heading “U.S. government securities—Treasury bills—Auction high.” In the event that the foregoing rates do not so appear or are not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Treasury Interest Determination Date, then the Treasury Rate for such Interest Reset Date shall be the “Investment Rate” (expressed as a bond equivalent yield, on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) as announced by the United States Department of the Treasury for the auction held on such Treasury Interest Determination Date,

C-7

currently available on the worldwide web at: xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxx.xxx/XX/XXXxxxx. In the event that the results of the auction of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity specified in the applicable pricing supplement are not published or reported as provided above by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Calculation Date or if no such auction is held on such Treasury Interest Determination Date, then the Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the relevant Calculation Agent and shall be the rate for such Treasury Interest Determination Date for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the specified Index Maturity (expressed as a bond equivalent yield, on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) as published in H.15(519), under the heading “U.S. government securities—Treasury bills (secondary market).” In the event that the foregoing rates do not so appear or are not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Treasury Interest Determination Date, then the Treasury Rate for such Interest Reset Date shall be the rate for such Treasury Interest Determination Date for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the specified Index Maturity, as published in H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the heading “U.S. government securities—Treasury bills (secondary market).” In the event that the foregoing rates do not so appear or are not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Treasury Interest Determination Date, then the Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the relevant Calculation Agent and shall be a yield to maturity (expressed as a bond equivalent yield, on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, at approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such Treasury Interest Determination Date, quoted by three leading primary United States government securities dealers selected by the Bank for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the specified Index Maturity; provided that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Bank are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury Rate for such Interest Reset Date shall be the Treasury Rate in effect on such Treasury Interest Determination Date.

Payment of Principal and Interest

General

Interest (and principal, if any, payable other than at Stated Maturity or upon acceleration or redemption) shall be paid in immediately available funds to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date next preceding each Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Notes upon any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to such Regular Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that interest payable at Stated Maturity or upon acceleration or redemption shall be paid to the Person to whom principal will be payable; provided, further, that if and to the extent the Bank defaults in the payment of the interest, including any Additional Amounts, due on such Interest Payment Date, such defaulted interest, including any Additional Amounts, shall be paid to the Person in whose names such Notes are registered at the end of a subsequent record date established by the Bank by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Bank to the Holders of the Notes not less than 15 days preceding such special record date, such record date to be not less than 15 days preceding the date of payment in respect of such defaulted interest. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the first payment of interest on any

C-8

Note originally issued between a Regular Record Date and an Interest Payment Date shall be made on the Interest Payment Date following the next succeeding Regular Record Date to the registered owner at the close of business on such next succeeding Regular Record Date.

Payments of the principal of and any premium, interest, Additional Amounts and other amounts on or in respect of any Note at Stated Maturity or upon acceleration or redemption shall be made to the registered Holder on such date in immediately available funds upon surrender of such Note at the Corporate Trust Office or at the specified office of any other Paying Agent, provided that the Note is presented to the Paying Agent in time for the Paying Agent to make such payments in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures. Payments of the principal of and any premium, interest, Additional Amounts and other amounts on or in respect of Notes to be made other than at Stated Maturity or upon redemption shall be made by check mailed on the due date for such payments to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears in the Register; provided that (a) DTC and the Common Depositary, as Holder of the Global Notes, shall be entitled to receive payments of interest by wire transfer of immediately available funds, (b) a Holder of US$1,000,000 (or the approximate equivalent thereof in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars) in aggregate principal or face amount of Notes of the same Series shall be entitled to receive payments of interest by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by such Holder at a bank located in the United States as may have been appropriately designated by such Holder to the Trustee in writing no later than 15 days prior to the date such payment is due and (c) to the extent that the Holder of a Note issued and denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars elects to receive payment of the principal of and any premiums, interest, Additional Amounts and other amounts on or in respect of such Note at Stated Maturity or upon redemption in such Specified Currency, such payment, except in circumstances described in the applicable Pricing Supplement, shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified in writing not less than 15 days prior to the date such payment is due by the Holder to the Trustee.

Payments of interest on any Fixed Rate Note or Floating Rate Note with respect to any Interest Payment Date will include interest accrued to but excluding such Interest Payment Date; provided that, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, if the Interest Reset Dates with respect to any Floating Rate Note are daily or weekly, interest payable on such Note on any Interest Payment Date, other than interest payable on the date on which principal on any such Note is payable, will include interest accrued to but excluding the day following the next preceding Interest Reset Date.

With respect to a Floating Rate Note, accrued interest from the date of issue or from the last date to which interest has been paid is calculated by multiplying the principal or face amount of such Floating Rate Note by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor is computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day from the date of issue, or from the last date to which interest has been paid, to but excluding the date for which accrued interest is being calculated. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the interest factor (expressed as a decimal) for each such day is computed by dividing the interest rate (expressed as a decimal) applicable to such date by 360, in the case of LIBOR Notes, or by the actual number of days in the year, in the case of Treasury Rate Notes.

C-9

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, interest on Fixed Rate Notes will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve months of 30 days each and, in the case of an incomplete month, the number of days elapsed.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, if any Interest Payment Date (other than the Stated Maturity) for any Floating Rate Note would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day in the relevant locations specified in the Pricing Supplement and the place of payment, such Interest Payment Date shall be the next Business Day succeeding such Business Day (except that, in the case of a LIBOR Note, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the next Business Day preceding such Business Day). If the Stated Maturity for any Fixed Rate Note or Floating Rate Note or the Interest Payment Date for any Fixed Rate Note falls on a day which is not a Business Day in the relevant locations specified in the Pricing Supplement and the place of payment, payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest with respect to such Note will be made on the next succeeding Business Day in the place of payment with the same force and effect as if made on the due date and no interest on such payment will accrue from and after such due date.

Specified Currency Other Than U.S. Dollars

If any Note is to be denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, certain provisions with respect thereto will be set forth in the applicable Pricing Supplement, which will specify the foreign currency or currency unit in which the principal or any premium or interest with respect to such Note are to be paid, along with any other terms relating to the non-U.S. dollar denomination.

If the Bank offers Indexed Notes or Dual Currency Notes, the applicable Pricing Supplement and such Indexed Notes or Dual Currency Notes will set forth the method by and the terms on which the amount of principal (payable on or prior to Stated Maturity), interest and/or any premium, will be determined, any additional tax consequences to the Holder of such Note, a description of certain risks associated with investment in such Note and other information relating to such Note.

Unless otherwise specified in the terms of a Series of Notes, Notes denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will provide that, in the event of an official redenomination of the currency, the obligations of the Bank with respect to payments on such Notes shall, in all cases, be deemed immediately following such redenomination to provide for payment of that amount of the redenominated currency representing the amount of such obligations immediately before such redenomination.

If the principal of or any premium, interest, Additional Amounts or other amounts on any note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Bank’s control, or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then the Bank, until such currency is again available or so use, will be entitled, to the extent permitted by Argentine law, to satisfy its obligations to the Holder of such Notes by

C-10

making such payment in U.S. dollars at the Exchange Rate for the Payment Date. The making of any payment in respect of any Note in U.S. dollars under the foregoing circumstances shall not constitute an Event of Default under such Note.

Payments of the principal, interest, Additional Amounts or other amounts to Holders of a note denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars who hold the Note through DTC will, to the extent permitted by Argentine law, be made in U.S. dollars. However, any DTC Holder of a Note denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars may elect to receive payments by wire transfer in the Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars by delivering a written notice to the DTC participant through which it holds its beneficial interest, not later than the Regular Record Date, in the case of an interest payment, or at least 15 calendar days before the Stated Maturity, specifying wire transfer instructions to an account denominated in the Specified Currency. The DTC participant must notify DTC of the election and wire transfer instructions on or before the twelfth Business Day before the applicable payment of the principal.

If so specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, payments of principal, interest, Additional Amounts or other amounts on or in respect of any Note denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars shall, to the extent permitted by Argentine law, be made in U.S. dollars, calculated at the Exchange Rate for the Payment Date, if the Holder of such Note on the relevant Regular Record Date or at Stated Maturity, as the case may be, has transmitted a written request for such payment in U.S. dollars to the Trustee and the applicable Paying Agent on or prior to such Regular Record Date or the date that is 15 days prior to the Stated Maturity, as the case may be. Such request may be in writing (mailed or hand delivered) or by facsimile transmission. Any such request made with respect to any Note by a Holder will remain in effect with respect to any further payments of principal, interest, Additional Amounts or other amounts on or in respect of such Note payable to such Holder, unless such request is revoked on or prior to the relevant Regular Record Date or the date that is 15 days prior to the Stated Maturity, as the case may be. Holders of notes denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars that are registered in the name of a broker or nominee should contact such broker or nominee to determine whether and how an election to receive payments in U.S. dollars may be made.

The U.S. dollar amount to be received by a Holder of a Note denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars who elects to receive payment in U.S. dollars will be based on the Exchange Rate, on the second Business Day next preceding the applicable Payment Date. If Exchange Rate quotations are not available on the second Business Day preceding the date of payment of principal, interest, Additional Amounts or other amounts with respect to any Note, such payment will be made in the Specified Currency. All currency exchange costs associated with any payment in U.S. dollars on any Note denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will be borne by the Holder thereof by deductions from payment of the currency exchange being effected on behalf of the Holder by the Exchange Rate Agent.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, (i) a Note denominated in Euro may only be presented for payment on a day on which the TARGET system is operating and (ii) if interest is required to be calculated for a period of less than one year, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, it will be calculated on the basis of the actual

C-11

number of days elapsed divided by 365 (or, if any of the days elapsed fall in a leap year, the sum of (A) the number of those days falling in a leap year divided by 366 and (B) the number of those days falling in a non-leap year divided by 365).
