CONSIDERING:

1. Claimants’ letter of 5 October 2010, submitting that certain Claimants, who tendered into the 2010 Exchange Offer, would no longer participate in the present arbitration, thereby reducing the number of remaining Claimants to approximately 60,000. Claimants attached to their letter updated versions of Annexes A, B, C and L, the latter containing a list of all Claimants who have withdrawn from the arbitration since 14 September 2006;

2. Respondent’s answer of 22 October 2010, in which Respondent reacted to Claimants’ letter of 5 October 2010 and in which Respondent requested the Tribunal: (i) to require Claimants to promptly inform which Claimants have tendered their security entitlements into the 2010 Exchange Offer, and (ii) to order that the Argentine Republic and those Claimants with respect to which proceedings will be discontinued under the terms set forth in its letter, equally bear the arbitration costs, and each of them bear their own cost, and that such order of discontinuance be rendered in due course;
