SA – Inc Precautionary Measure on Judgment 577/02 re: Precautionary
Measure (Autonomous)

Buenos Aires, February 20, 2003

WHEREAS:

	1) That the plaintiff requests clarification of the scope of the
precautionary measure issued by this Court, by majority, which
stipulated – in exercise of the powers derived from art. 204 of the
C.P.C.C. and in order to assure the rights of all subjects involved in
the matter – that service providers, Aeropuertos Argentina 2000, S.A.
and Fuerza Aerea Argentina – must charge for the airport fees
mentioned therein at the peso-U.S. dollar exchange rate and credit to
their assets the value of one peso per U.S. dollar. Additionally, the
judicial embargo on the difference between said parity and the exchange
rate for those operations was resolved so that the funds may be returned
to the user of the services for which the intended lawsuit proceeds.

	It requests that the fees accrued and paid since decree 577/02 (April
4, 2002) was issued until the pronouncement of this Court receive the
same settlement treatment of the differences, embargo, and deposit in
the account on file as stipulated by that resolution.

	2) That the decision adopted by the Tribunal in exercise of the powers
derived from art. 204 of the Procedural Code required the modification
of the terms of what was resolved by the first instance judge.

	That said, it should be clarified that the mode of execution of the
precautionary measure that results from resolution of folios 176/180
covers all fees accrued and paid since the pronouncement of the judge
from which he refused the requested appeal. In regard to those comprised
from the issuance of decree 577/02 and the established decision, the
Tribunal considers, by a majority, that it is a question that must be
decided in

[vertical text, left-hand side:] OFFICIAL USOthe opportunity to issue
the final pronouncement lawsuit. THUS IT IS DECIDED:

	May it be registered and notified.
