WHEREAS:





(i) On June 30, 2004, the Parties executed a Master Agreement for the Exchange of Corporate Services (hereinafter the “Master Agreement”), whereby the administrative and financial features and guidelines for implementing the supply of Corporate Services were established, for purposes of reducing fixed costs arising from the Parties’ activities and diminishing their impact on operating results, taking advantage of the individual efficiencies of each of them in the various operating management areas;





(ii) The Parties engaged Deloitte & Co. S.R.L. (hereinafter “Deloitte”) for it to review and assess semi-annually the criteria used in the Corporate Services settlement process and the Cost Distribution Bases and supporting documents used in the above mentioned process and prepare a semi-annual report;





(iii) Due to the experience gained as a result of the implementation of the Master Agreement based on an Implementation Manual prepared by Deloitte, certain operational changes to the Areas of Exchange of Corporate Services and Cost Distribution Bases have been implemented since January 2005;





(iv) Such operational changes were acknowledged by the Parties through the execution of six agreements for the implementation of amendments dated August 23, 2007, August 14, 2008, November 27, 2009, July 11, 2011, October 15, 2012 and November 12, 2013, respectively (the “Agreements”);





(v) On March 12, 2010, the Parties executed an Addendum to the Master Agreement (hereinafter, the “Addendum”) whereby the Parties agreed to unify in CRESUD the services of the Areas of Exchange of Corporate Services, for which purpose they transferred the employement agreements of most employees from such areas and a procedure was established to allocate the hypothetical labor costs resulting from outgoing employees;





(vi) In view of the fact that the Parties are going through the structuring of a new organizational model for the division of business areas, it is deemed advisable that within the scope of the Master Agreement and the Agreements, the services related to the Technical, Infrastructure and Services, Purchases, Architecture and Design, and Development and Works, Real Estate Business Management, Real Estate Business HHRR, Safety and Real Estate (the “Transfer Areas”), all of which are related to the real estate business, should be directly provided by IRSA and/or APSA, to which end the employment agreements of the employees rendering such services were transferred;





(vii) The new organizational model is intended to provide for increased independence and specialization on a business basis, developing deeper identification of the employees with the company for which they provide services and hence creating more commitment on the part of the employees;





(viii) As the terms of the Addendum provided that all employees assigned by any of the Parties in the future would be subject to the methology set forth therein, the Parties deem it suitable to enter into this Second Addendum to the Corporate Services Master Agreement (the “Second Addendum”) so as to establish the mechanisms to be used in allocating the expenses related to the hypothetical labor costs that could arise from the termination of employees or other costs whose origin or accrual shall have occurred or shall occur before or after the assignment referred to above;





(ix) Notwithstanding the provisions of the Addendum and the Second Addendum, the Parties keep the areas that group together the know-how of the business of each of them unchanged;





(x) Each of the Parties has submitted the contents of the Second Addendum to their respective Audit Committees for review, which have raised no objections to it; and





(xi) In addition, the Board of Directors of each of the Parties has approved this Second Addendum at the meeting held on February 21, 2014.
