--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. In turn, the final measures, percentages, surfaces and names of the Units
will result from the Condominium Rules and Regulations (Act No. 13,512) which
will be timely granted by the Seller based on the corresponding Survey Plan
under the Condominium System finally approved by the competent authorities. The

percentage will timely be indicated in the Condominium Rules and Regulations.
This percentage will be modified in case the number of square meters built for

5. Furthermore, TORRE AL RIO I will be constructed and finished pursuant to the
Leed V.3 CORE & SHELL certification.

6. The Seller’s rights to build TORRE AL RIO I and to assign the Units

Seller and the Joint Owners. A summary of the main terms and conditions of these
agreements are attached hereto as Schedule I.

Therefore, the Parties agree to enter this preliminary sales contract pursuant
to the following terms and conditions (the “Preliminary Sales Contract”):

Section One: Subject-Matter

1.1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Preliminary Sales Contract, the
Seller sells ad corpus, and the Purchaser jointly purchases the following Units
of the building being constructed under the parameters of the Leed V.3 CORE &
SHELL certification and provisionally called TORRE AL RIO I:

 

(a) Three (3) adjacent FUNCTIONAL UNITS provisionally called TORRE AL RÍO I,
Floors 14, 15 and 16, with a total surface of approximately three thousand eight
hundred and fourteen square meters (3,814 m2) to be used as office space (the
“Functional Units”);

 

(b) Thirty-six (36) COMPLEMENTARY UNITS to be destined to parking lots, fifteen
(15) of which will be located below TORRE AL RIO I’s ground floor and twenty-one
(21) of which will be adjacent to the TORRE AL RIO I, which will be built to
such effect (the “Complementary Units”, and together with the Functional Units,
the “Units”).

Section Two: Characteristics of the Units

2.1. The finishes, equipment, accessories and other characteristics of TORRE AL
RIO I and the Units are based on the technical and descriptive memorandum
attached hereto as Schedule A and Schedule B, which make up this Preliminary
Sales Contract.

2.2. The Seller may introduce variations in finishes and/ or substitutions to
the equipment and accessories promised for common areas of TORRE AL RIO I,
provided they are replaced by finishes and/ or equipment having similar purpose,
use, function and quality characteristics. Modifications, variations and/ or
substitutions made by the Seller pursuant to this Section will not entitle the
Purchaser to seek either the termination or cancellation of the contract or a
price adjustment/ modification, or any compensatory or indemnity claim it may
deem to be entitled to.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.3. The Purchaser consents to the implementation of modifications of details in
the Units’ plans and plots which may be necessary at the project management and/
or the competent authorities’ reasonable criteria provided they do not
substantially modify the project and/ or the characteristics of the Units.

2.4. Units will be delivered vacant, and it is expressly agreed that the
Purchaser may not object to their reception because the Building’s general
details’ finishes are not completed, provided they do not affect the specific
functioning or use of the Units, or the Building as a whole. Should there be, at
the Purchaser’s discretion, minor flaws or details imperfections or any other
objection regarding the Units’ finishes, it will receive them, and said flaws
will be indicated in a record to be drawn up upon delivery, which will also
include any remark the Purchaser wishes to make a reservation of its rights.

2.5. Notwithstanding the above provisions, should a modification of the Units
result in a decrease or increase in the Unit’s number of square meters destined
to office space referred to in Section 1.a, and provided said modification is
higher than five percent (5%) of the total number of square meters corresponding
to each Functional Unit individually considered, the Parties will make a pro
rata Price modification based on the increased or decreased number of square
meters exceeding the referenced percentage, and the provisions of Section 1.345
in fine of the Civil Code will not apply.

Section Three: Price and Means of Payment

3.1. The sale subject-matter hereof will be conducted pursuant to Condominium
Act No. 13.512, ad corpus, and the Units price will amount to SEVENTEEN MILLION,

17,735,100), plus the applicable Value-Added Tax (the “Price”), which, to such
effects, is provisionally calculated at a twenty percent (20%) rate. Taking into
consideration the current tax legislation in force, the VAT will only be
assessed on the value of the construction, and said assessment will be made
according to the costs proportion attributable to the construction with
reference to the building’s total costs. Therefore, the applicable VAT amount
will be made based on a pro rata calculation of costs, which will be finally
adjusted with the last payment described in Section “3.1.(ii)” below. The Price
will be cancelled as follows:

 

  (i) The amount of FOUR MILLION, TWO-HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SIX THOUSAND, FOUR
HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FOUR UNITED STATES DOLLARS (US$ 4,256,424) —including the

MILLION, EIGHT HUNDRED AND TWENTY-ONE THOUSAND, FOUR HUNDRED AND NINETY-FIVE

installments amounting to TWO MILLION TWENTY-SIX THOUSAND, EIGHT HUNDRED AND
SIXTY-EIGHT UNITED STATES DOLLARS with 57 cents (US$ 2,026,868.57), plus the
applicable VAT, each. The first of these installments should be canceled on
June 10, 2013, and the remaining installments in the following months. The
remaining installments should be cancelled between the first and the tenth day

772, piso 11º, Of 111, Buenos Aires, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. or at the address the
Seller may later indicate by a reliable means. In case a payment is due on a
non-business day, it will be made on the immediately following business day.
Payments with securities to be presented for payment or through third parties
will be deemed made when the applicable amount is made effective by the Seller,
and any delay in the collection not attributable to the Seller will be borne by
the Purchaser. Furthermore, in such cases, all collection expenses will be borne
by the Purchaser.

3.3. The amounts stated above should be cancelled in pesos at the exchange rate
for sales operations published by Banco de the Nación Argentina on the last
business day before the applicable cancellation date.

3.4. Both Parties declare that they have thoroughly and carefully analyzed the
involved markets’ current situation, especially the financial and the real
estate markets, and state that they have taken into consideration the
possibility of there being fluctuations or modifications in said markets and,
therefore, expressly and irrevocably waive the theory of unforeseen events,
excessive contractual imbalance, major injury, abuse of rights and/ or any of
the payment obligations with a currency or in an amount different from that
foreseen, as well as any review of the agreement or a decrease in the Units’
Price.

Section Four: Building and Project

4.1. The Parties expressly acknowledge that the real estate development to be
conducted in the Lots (the “Project”) is made up of a series of real estate
projects destined to multiple uses, the construction of which and which opening
date are uncertain and subject to the applicable approvals and authorizations by
the competent authorities. Furthermore, the Project and its different
initiatives may suffer several modifications. In this sense, and in the
understanding that the other undertakings of the Project are expressly excluded
from the subject-matter hereof, the Purchaser may not claim either the
adjustment or the modification of the Price, or seek any other compensatory or
indemnity claim in case the Project is not wholly implemented.

Functional Units, to transform common areas into own areas or vice versa,
provided said transformation does not exceed two percent (2%) of the Functional

modification does not affect the Purchaser’s rights on the Functional Units or
the Purchaser’s percentage over TORRE AL RIO I; (ii) the right to totally or
partially enable the Units by modifying the Master Plan, the Condominium
Division Plan and the Condominium Rules and Regulations so as to subject the
Units to be created and/ or modified to the Condominium System, taking on all

original TORRE AL RIO I Project and/ or any of its projected sectors provided

authorities for the approval of the final condominium subdivision plan; and,
(iv) the right to create, acknowledge and/ or recognize between the Units,

Functional Units are not negatively affected. On the other hand, the Purchaser
may not divide TORRE AL RIO I’s Functional Units in more than three

performance of the obligations set forth in this Preliminary Sales Contract plus
damages resulting from such default, which will amount to two thousand five

7.4. Until Lot 1T is subjected to the Condominium System, it is expressly stated
that the impossibility to conduct the specific transfer as a result of a
Governmental Authority’s provision, including, but not limited to, the passing
of a restraint of property order, will not be considered a breach by the Seller
to the obligation undertaken herein. In such case, the Seller undertakes to put
forth its best efforts to lift such restraints preventing the execution of the
Title Deed with the utmost procedural diligence.

7.5. In all cases where any payment is to be made in United States Dollars, the
provisions of Section 3.3 will apply to its cancellation.

Section Eight: Default

In the absence of any express provision to the contrary, the default in the
performance of any obligation taken on in this Preliminary Sales Contract will

performance of its payment obligations, the principal in arrears will bear
compensatory interest equivalent to the Banco de la Nación Argentina’s interest
rate for discounting transactions on the total owed Price balance as from the
