The Contract of Sale states as follows: THIRD: All payment obligations derived from the purchase agreed herein shall be made in United States Dollars currency without restrictions from the Argentine Government. Therefore, PILAGÁ expressly acknowledges and accepts that it is an essential condition of this agreement that the payment of the price as well as possible compensatory and punitive interests, costs, court costs and other amounts payable to GALICIA WARRANTS pursuant to this document shall be made in US Dollars expressly waiving the right to invoke the unforeseeable and exceptional loss doctrine or any other similar doctrine alleging a supervening burden for future payments. If on any expiration date there is a restriction or prohibition to have access to the exchange market in the Republic of Argentina, PILAGÁ shall likewise pay in US Dollars the price amount and any other amount payable in accordance herewith. Such US Dollars may be obtained by any of the mechanisms stated in Exhibit I hereof. FOURTH: This sale is performed on the basis of marketable titles and GALICIA WARRANTS represents that it may freely dispose of the piece of real estate, which is not subject to any restraining orders or attachments, being responsible for the dispossession proceedings and compensation pursuant to law. GALICIA WARRANTS represents and warrants to PILAGÁ that it has the effective and real possession over the piece of real estate without any claim or objections made by third parties, including without limitation, real or personal easements, occupants under any title, liens of any kind, mortgages and/or attachments.

commercial liability of GALICIA WARRANTS arising due to the commercial exploitation that GALICIA WARRANTS would have developed in the piece of real estate. Therefore, GALICIA WARRANTS shall hold PILAGÁ fully harmless from such Liabilities originated by reasons originated or titles issued prior to the date of the deed regarding the piece of real estate. GALICIA WARRANTS undertakes to be immediately responsible for any Liability that PILAGÁ receives. It is also bound to release PILAGÁ from any liability in such respect during the first procedural opportunity. In the event this is not possible and PILAGÁ is still a party to the claim, GALICIA WARRANTS may not acknowledge any right, undertake or agree any obligation as to the claimant without the written consent of PILAGÁ and such consent may not be denied when PILAGÁ is not affected or conditioned. If GALICIA WARRANTS does not accept its responsibility for certain Liabilities, PILAGÁ may assume the defense of such Liabilities pursuant to the strategy it deems more convenient. This shall not affect the responsibility of GALICIA WARRANTS if, in accordance with section Thirteenth, it shall be responsible for such Liability and that its responsibility was unduly denied. THIRTEENTH: The parties submit themselves to the jurisdiction of the lower courts of the city of Buenos Aires for any dispute that may arise in relation hereto.

#####

equal to the amount due in USD herewith; or 1. (c). If there were legal restrictions in the Argentine Republic prohibiting PILAGÁ from performing the options mentioned in the two previous subsections or, in case such options become more onerous than the option that is going to be described herein below, PILAGÁ will be able to pay GALICIA WARRANTS with Argentine Pesos (or the currency in force at that moment in the Argentine Republic), on the corresponding due date, provided that the amount of Argentine Pesos shall be enough, after the deduction of the corresponding taxes, costs, commissions and expenses, to buy the total amount of US Dollars owed by Pilagá for this agreement, according to the exchange rate published by Citibank N.A., New York, United States of America, to buy US Dollars with Argentine Pesos in the City of New York at 12 (twelve) o clock (New York time) on the expiration date; or 1.
