DECLARATION OF MURAT KORKMAZ

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 1746, I declare that the following is true and correct:

1. My name is Murat Korkmaz. I am an authorized representative of ARAG-A

Limited, ARAG-O Limited, ARAG-T Limited and ARAG-V Limited (collectively, the “ARAG

Entities”). I have personal knowledge of the averments in this declaration and am authorized by

the ARAG Entities to make this declaration.

2. The ARAG Entities hold various beneficial rights in bonds issued by the Republic

of Argentina (“Argentina”) that are governed by foreign and New York law, and on which

Argentina has long been in default.

DB3/ 200809035.3 2

3. ARAG-A Limited is a plaintiff in civil actions pending before this Court,

including those with docket numbers 14-09095 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG), 14-09427 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG),

14-09855 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG), 15-09579 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG), 16-00905 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG), 16-

00911 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG), 16-01350 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG) and 16-01512 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG). In

certain of these cases relating to bonds governed by foreign law (but not in the cases involving

bonds governed by New York law), there are pending disputes concerning whether claims filed

by ARAG-A Limited and other plaintiffs are time-barred by virtue of contractual prescription

clauses, and the applicability of other technical defenses raised by Argentina.

4. ARAG-O Limited is a plaintiff in civil actions pending before this Court,

including those with docket numbers 14-09095 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG), 14-09427 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG),

14-09855 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG), 15-09579 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG), 16-00905 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG), 16-

00911 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG), 16-01350 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG) and 16-01512 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG). In

certain of these cases relating to bonds governed by foreign law (but not in the cases involving

bonds governed by New York law), there are pending disputes concerning whether claims filed

by ARAG-O Limited and other plaintiffs are time-barred by virtue of contractual prescription

clauses, and the applicability of other technical defenses raised by Argentina.

5. ARAG-T Limited is a plaintiff in civil actions pending before this Court,

including those with docket numbers 14-09095 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG), 14-09427 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG),

14-09855 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG), 15-09579 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG), 16-00905 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG), 16-

00911 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG), 16-01350 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG) and 16-01512 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG). In

by ARAG-T Limited and other plaintiffs are time-barred by virtue of contractual prescription

clauses, and the applicability of other technical defenses raised by Argentina.

6. ARAG-V Limited is a plaintiff in civil actions pending before this Court,

including those with docket numbers 14-09095 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG), 14-09427 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG),

14-09855 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG), 15-09579 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG), 16-00905 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG), 16-

00911 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG), 16-01350 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG) and 16-01512 (S.D.N.Y.) (TPG). In

certain of these cases relating to bonds governed by foreign law (but not in the cases involving

bonds governed by New York law), there are pending disputes concerning whether claims filed

by ARAG-V Limited and other plaintiffs are time-barred by virtue of contractual prescription

clauses, and the applicability of other technical defenses raised by Argentina.

7. Prior to February 2016, representatives of the ARAG Entities made numerous

efforts to speak with representatives of Argentina to discuss settlement. To the best of my

knowledge, no representative of Argentina engaged in any substantive discussion with us during

that period.

8. On or about February 5, 2016, I reviewed a Spanish language version of

Argentina’s settlement proposal published on its official government website. A true copy of the

proposal that I reviewed is attached as Exhibit 4 to the Declaration of Stephen Scotch-Marmo in

Support of Plaintiffs’ Motion by Order to Show Cause for a Preliminary Injunction (“Scotch-

Marmo Declaration”).

9. On or about February 7, 2016, I received and reviewed an English translation of

the proposal, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 5 to the Scotch-Marmo Declaration.

Case 1:16-cv-02238-TPG Document 34 Filed 04/07/16 Page 3 of 6

DB3/ 200809035.3 4

10. On or about February 17, 2016, I reviewed Argentina’s form of “Master

Settlement Agreement” published on its government website. A copy of the “Master Settlement

Agreement” that I reviewed is attached to the Scotch-Marmo Declaration as Exhibit 7.

11. I first emailed Argentina a list of the ARAG Entities’ foreign and New York law

bonds on February 18, 2016. In response to my email, Santiago Bausili, Undersecretary of

Finance of Argentina, emailed me on February 18, at 12:30 p.m. (EST) the following: “Dear

Murat, please refer to the Instructions and Agreements available in the following link. Do not

hesitate to send any other questions. It would help us if you could send us in advance the names

of the plaintiffs involved and the case numbers.” A true copy of Mr. Bausili’s February 18, 2016

12:30 p.m. (EST) email is attached as Exhibit 1.

12. On February 18, 2016, at 12:46 p.m. (EST) I emailed Mr. Bausili asking “[i]n

reference to documents on that link, specifically to the master settlement agreement, which has a

‘prescription’ language that forbids some bonds from participation, we understood, as menti

from Fore Research that it will not be an issue, as communicat[ed] by the Argentine Republic.”

A true copy of my February 18, 2016 12:46 p.m. (EST) email is attached as Exhibit __. In

response, Mr Bausili stated, by email on February 19, 2016 at 6:20 a.m. (EST), “[w]e’ve

confirmed with counsel that those bonds that are beyond their prescription date on which no

legal action has been taken to ‘stop the clock’ on such prescription, will not be taken in as are

deemed to have no claim value. Hope this clarifies the situation, SB.” A true copy of Mr.

Bausili’s February 19, 2016 6:20 a.m. (EST) email is attached as Exhibit 3.

13. On February 19, my colleague, Michael Monticciolo, submitted counter-offers to

Argentina via email, copying me, regarding the Master Settlement Agreement on behalf of the

Case 1:16-cv-02238-TPG Document 34 Filed 04/07/16 Page 4 of 6

DB3/ 200809035.3 5

ARAG Entities’ foreign law bonds. On February 23, my colleague, Mr. Monticciolo, submitted

counter-offers to Argentina, via email, copying me, regarding the Master Settlement Agreement

on behalf of the ARAG Entities’ New York law bonds.

14. The ARAG Entities did not receive any response from Argentina regarding their

counter-offers. Accordingly, the ARAG Entities downloaded the Master Settlement Agreement

from Argentina’s website, and completed the “Agreement Schedule” thereon with respect to the

ARAG Entities’ foreign and New York law holdings. On February 29, 2016, my colleague, Mr.

Monticciolo, delivered to Argentina, by email, copying me, to

[email protected] (which is the email address bondholders were directed to

email accepted settlement offer), the ARAG Entities’ acceptances of Argentina’s offer. Attached

as Exhibits 4 and 5 are true copies of Mr. Monticciolo’s emails to Argentina with the attached

completed agreement schedules.

15. On February 29, 2016, Argentina acknowledged receipt of the ARAG Entities’

acceptances of the settlement offer. True copies of Argentina’s acknowledgment emails are

attached as Exhibits 6 and 7.

16. Argentina never communicated to the ARAG Entities any rejection of the

acceptance nor advised that the acceptance should be subject to any statute of limitations.

Dear Murat,

We’ve confirmed with counsel that those bonds that are beyond their prescription date on which no legal actionhas been taken to “stop the clock” on such prescription, will not be taken in as are deemed to have no claimvalue.

Hope this clarifies the situation,

CONFIDENTIAL SETTLEMENT COMMUNICATIONSUBJECT TO F.R.E. 408 AND SIMILAR RULESWITHOUT PREJUDICE

Dear Santiago,

We received your contact information from Fore Research. We understand from Fore Research that youare expecting us to contact you in relation to our position in non-NY law bondholders. We are one ofthe largest members of the non-NY law bondholder group represented by the law firm, MorganLewis. We are sending this email to you as a confidential settlement communication. Thiscommunication is being made “without prejudice” and on the understanding that it is an offer ofcompromise.

We understand that Fore Research and King Street have been, in short, offered by the ArgentineRepublic a deal for their non-NY law bonds at 150% of their notional holdings. We further understand,that this deal was made without regard to a bonds maturity, coupon or any other condition. Weunderstand that both Fore and King Street agreed to enter into a settlement agreement with theRepublic of Argentina based on these terms.

Assuming our understanding is correct, our clients may be willing to settle their non-NY law claims undersimilar terms and conditions the Republic reached with Fore Research and King Street. For yourreference, we have listed our clients’ bond positions, ISIN numbers, for your review.

We look forward to your response and dialogue on how to reach a conclusion to this matter.

Feel free to reach me at the number below with any questions or to discuss further.

Kind Regards,Murat
