5. Representations and Warranties of the Republic

The Republic represents and warrants to the Underwriters as follows:

(a) Registration Statement.

(i) The Republic meets the requirements for use of Schedule B under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Republic has filed with the Commission a registration statement under Schedule B (No. 333-223463) covering the registration of the Reopening Securities under the Securities Act and including the related base prospectus filed on March 6, 2018 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) (the “Base Prospectus”). Such registration statement has been declared effective by the Commission, as amended as of the date and time of this Agreement (the “Execution

Time”). Such registration statement, as amended as of the Execution Time, together with the Base Prospectus constituting a part thereof, any prospectus supplement relating to the Reopening Securities and all documents incorporated by reference thereto, meet the requirements set forth in Release No. 33-6424 (the “Release”) and Schedule B under the Securities Act. The Republic has filed a preliminary prospectus supplement with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, which has been furnished to the Underwriters (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”), and proposes to file with the Commission, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, a supplement to the Base Prospectus (the “Prospectus Supplement”) relating to the Reopening Securities and the plan of distribution thereof and has previously advised you of all other information (financial, statistical and other), if any, with respect to the Republic to be set forth therein. Such registration statement (including the Base Prospectus and any documents incorporated by reference in such registration statement), as amended as of the Execution Time, including the exhibits thereto and all documents incorporated by reference in the Base Prospectus contained therein, if any, each as amended at the time such registration statement became effective (the “Effective Time”), is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement.”

The Base Prospectus together with the Prospectus Supplement in the form in which it shall be first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) after the Execution Time is hereinafter referred to as the “Final Prospectus;” and any reference to any amendment or supplement to the Final Prospectus or the Base Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any annual reports on Form 18-K and any amendments to such Form 18-K on Form 18-K/A (including all exhibits thereto) (collectively, a “Form 18-K”) filed after the Execution Time, under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and incorporated by reference in the Final Prospectus.

(ii) Prior to the termination of the offering of the Reopening Securities, the Republic will not file any amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement to the Final Prospectus which shall not have previously been furnished to the Underwriters or of which the Underwriters shall not previously have been advised or to which the Underwriters shall have reasonably objected in writing and which has not been approved by the Underwriters after consultation with their counsel.

(iii) At the Effective Time, the Registration Statement and any amendment thereof did, and when the Final Prospectus is first filed in accordance with Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date, the Final Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto will, comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, including the Release and Schedule B. Neither (A) the Registration Statement, as amended, at the Effective Time, at the Execution Time, on the date of any filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date, contained or will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omits or will omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (B) the Final Prospectus, as amended or supplemented as of any such time, on the date of any filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date, will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or will omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the

circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that the Republic makes no representations or warranties with respect to any statements or omissions contained in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with the information furnished in writing to the Republic by the Underwriters, expressly for use in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus.

(iv) The Disclosure Package (as defined herein), at the date and time of the first sale of the Reopening Securities to the public, which was 9:00 p.m. New York City time on the date of this Agreement (the “Initial Sale Time”), when taken as a whole, did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Disclosure Package based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Republic by any Underwriter specifically for use therein. The (i) Base Prospectus, as amended and supplemented as of the Execution Time, (ii) Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, (iii) issuer free writing prospectus, as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act (an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”) identified in Schedule IV hereto and, (iv) any other free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act (each a “Free Writing Prospectus”), that the parties hereto shall hereafter expressly agree in writing to treat as part of the Disclosure Package, are collectively referred to as the “Disclosure Package.”

(v) The documents, if any, incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, when they became effective or were filed with the Commission, as the case may be (or, if any amendment with respect to any such document was filed, when such amendment was filed), complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and none of such documents contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus or any further amendment or supplement thereto when such documents become effective or are filed with the Commission, as the case may be, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided that the Republic makes no representations or warranties with respect to any statements or omissions contained in the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Republic by the Underwriters, expressly for use in the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus.

(b) Power and Authority. The Republic has full power and authority to execute and deliver each of this Agreement and the Reopening Securities and all other documents and instruments to be executed and delivered by the Republic hereunder and thereunder, to incur the obligations to be incurred by it as provided herein or therein, to perform and observe the

provisions hereof and thereof on its part to be performed or observed and to issue and sell the Reopening Securities and to perform the terms thereof.

(c) Authorization. The issuance and sale of the Reopening Securities and the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Reopening Securities by the Republic and all other documents to be executed and delivered by the Republic thereunder and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by the Republic.

(d) Validity of Agreements. Each of this Agreement and the Indenture has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Republic and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Republic, enforceable against the Republic in accordance with its terms.

(e) Validity of Securities. The Reopening Securities have been duly and validly authorized and, when duly executed and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered and paid for in accordance with this Agreement, will be valid and binding obligations of the Republic entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

(f) Consents. No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court, government or governmental agency or body or any third party is required to be taken, fulfilled, performed or obtained in Uruguay or elsewhere (including, without limitation, the obtaining of any consent, approval or license or the making of any filing or registration) for the execution and delivery of the Agreements by the Republic, or for the issue, sale, delivery and performance of the Reopening Securities as contemplated herein and in the Registration Statement, the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by the Agreements and the compliance by the Republic with the terms of the Agreements, as the case may be, or for the validity or enforceability of the Agreements, against the Republic, except Decree No. 278/19 dated September 23, 2019 (the “Decree”) of the Executive Power of the Republic and the resolution dated September 23, 2019 of the Ministry of Economy and Finance of the Republic approving the terms of the Reopening Securities and the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Reopening Securities by the Republic and all other documents to be executed and delivered by the Republic thereunder (the “Ministry of Economy and Finance Resolution”) which have been duly obtained are in full force and effect on the date hereof and will be in full force and effect on the Closing Date.

(g) Compliance. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Indenture, the issuance, sale and delivery of the Reopening Securities, and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by the Agreements and the Reopening Securities (and compliance with the terms hereof and thereof) do not in any material respect (i) conflict with or result in a breach of any constitutional provision, any provision of any treaty, convention, statute, law, regulation, decree, judgment, order of any government, governmental body or court, domestic or foreign court order or similar authority binding upon the Republic, (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any material fiscal agency agreement, trust deed, mortgage or other agreement to which the Republic or any National Governmental Agency is a party or by which any of them or any of their respective properties or assets is bound or (iii) result in the creation of any lien or encumbrance upon such properties or assets. As used herein, the term “National Governmental Agency” means any entity subject to Chapter I of Section XI of the Constitution of the Republic.

(h) Event of Default. No event has occurred and is continuing and no circumstance has arisen which, had the Reopening Securities already been issued, would (with the giving of notice and/or the passage of time) constitute an Event of Default under the Reopening Securities.

(i) Litigation. Other than as described or contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus, there are no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Republic after due inquiry, threatened actions or proceedings (foreign or domestic) against or affecting the Republic or any National Governmental Agency which, if determined adversely to the Republic or any such National Governmental Agency, would individually or in the aggregate have a materially adverse effect on the financial condition or revenues and expenditures of the Republic or would materially adversely affect the ability of the Republic to perform its obligations under the Agreements, or which are otherwise material in the context of the issue of the Reopening Securities.

(j) Taxes and Filing of Documents. There is no tax, duty, levy, impost, deduction, governmental charge or withholding imposed by the Republic or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein by virtue of the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Agreements (except for court fees and taxes incurred in connection with enforcement proceedings) or to ensure the legality, enforceability, validity or admissibility into evidence of the Agreements or of any other document to be furnished thereunder, and it is not necessary that the Agreements be submitted to, filed or recorded with any court or other authority in the Republic to ensure such legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility into evidence (except for court fees and taxes incurred in connection with enforcement proceedings).

(k) Republic’s Obligations. When duly issued and authenticated, the Reopening Securities will be the direct, general, unconditional and unsubordinated Foreign Debt (as defined in the Terms and Conditions of the Reopening Securities) of the Republic for which the full faith and credit of the Republic will have been pledged; when issued, the Reopening Securities will rank without any preference among themselves and equally with all other unsubordinated Foreign Debt of the Republic. It is understood that this provision shall not be construed so as to require the Republic to make payments under the Reopening Securities ratably with payments being made under any other external indebtedness.

(l) Private Action. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Indenture and the other documents referred to therein, and the issuance and sale of the Reopening Securities and the performance of the terms thereof by the Republic, constitute private and commercial acts rather than public or governmental acts. Under the laws of the Republic, except as described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus, neither the Republic nor any of its property has any immunity (i) from jurisdiction of any court, (ii) from set-off or any legal process in the courts of the Republic other than attachment prior to judgment and attachment in aid of execution or (iii) from set-off or any legal process in any court other than a court of the Republic (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution or otherwise). The waiver of immunity by the Republic contained in Section 18 hereof, Section 9.7 of the Indenture and Paragraph 15(d) of the Terms and Conditions of the Reopening Securities and the indemnification and contribution provisions contained in Section 10 hereof do not conflict with Uruguayan law or public policy.

(m) IMF. The Republic is a member of the International Monetary Fund (the “IMF”).

(n) Enforcement of Agreements. After being translated into Spanish by an official translator, this Agreement, the Indenture and the Reopening Securities, upon the due execution, issuance and delivery thereof, will be in proper legal form under the laws of the Republic for the enforcement thereof in the Republic against the Republic.

(o) Additional Amounts. Under currently existing law, all payments made in respect of the Reopening Securities will be free and exempt from any and all taxes, duties or other governmental charges of whatever nature of the Republic, except to the extent that such Reopening Securities or payments will be held or received by persons who are subject to tax for reasons other than the mere holding of such Reopening Securities or receiving payments thereon, all payments on the Reopening Securities will be made by the Republic without withholding or deduction for or on account of any and all taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges of whatever nature imposed by the Republic or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein having power to tax, unless the Republic is compelled by law to deduct or withhold such taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges, and, in such event, the Republic shall pay Additional Amounts (as defined in the Indenture) to the extent provided in the Reopening Securities; and the Underwriters are not subject to any taxes, duties or other charges imposed by the Republic or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to payments received by the Underwriters hereunder solely by reason of entering into this Agreement or receiving payments hereunder.

(p) Licenses, Consents and Residence. It is not necessary under the laws of the Republic that the Underwriters be licensed, qualified or entitled to carry on business in the Republic by reason of the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of any of the Agreements and the Underwriters will not be deemed resident, domiciled, to be carrying on business or subject to taxation in the Republic solely by reason of the execution, delivery, performance outside the Republic or enforcement of the Agreements.

(q) Sanctions. The Republic will not, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of the sale of the Reopening Securities, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any persons, (i) to fund any activities of or business with any person that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of any sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the U.S. Department of State, the United Nations Security Council, the European Union or Her Majesty’s Treasury (collectively, “Sanctions”), or is in any country or territory, that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of Sanctions, or (ii) in any other manner, in each case, as would result in a violation by any person (including any person participating in the offering, whether as underwriter, advisor, investor or otherwise) of Sanctions.

In case the Underwriters or any dealer are required to deliver a prospectus after the expiration of 90 days after the commencement of the offering of the Reopening Securities, the Republic, upon the request of the Underwriters or dealer, will furnish to the Underwriters or dealer at the expense of the Underwriters, a reasonable quantity of a supplemented or amended Final Prospectus, or supplements or amendments to the Final Prospectus, complying with Section 10(a) of the Securities Act.

(a) Issue of Reopening Securities. Not later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time on October 2, 2019, or such other time as may be agreed upon between the Underwriters and the Republic (the “Closing Date”), the Republic will issue and deliver one or more duly executed and authenticated Global Securities in (i) an aggregate principal amount of U.S.$ 216,969,673.00 in respect of Reopening 2031 Bonds; and (ii) an aggregate principal amount of U.S.$ 837,584,169.00 in respect of Reopening 2055 Bonds. The Underwriters shall instruct DTC as to the allocation of interests in the Global Securities among the accounts of DTC participants.

Against such delivery, the Underwriters shall pay to the Republic in same-day funds the Purchase Price for the Reopening Securities, less the amounts referred to in Section 9(c) below, on the Closing Date in U.S. dollars to such account as shall be notified by the Republic to the Underwriters not later than three days prior to the Closing Date.

(c) Commission. The Republic agrees to pay to the Underwriters a combined management and underwriting commission of 0.09% of the aggregate principal amount of the Reopening Securities in U.S. dollars. Such commission shall be deducted from the Purchase Price for the Reopening Securities as provided in Section 9(b), free and clear of any taxes, duties, governmental charges, levies, deductions or withholdings of any nature imposed by the Republic or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law, in which event the Republic shall pay such additional amounts as shall result in the receipt by the recipients of such amounts as would have been received by them had no such deduction or withholding been required.

10. Indemnification and Contribution

(a) Issuer’s Indemnity. The Republic agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless each of the Underwriters and each of their affiliates, and individually each of their respective directors, officers, employees and controlling persons from and against any and all losses, liabilities, costs, claims, actions, demands, damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) which any of them may incur or which may be made against any of them, insofar as such losses, liabilities, costs, claims, actions, demands, damages or expenses (i) that are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or arise out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, not misleading, or (ii) that are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Disclosure Package, in the Final Prospectus, in the electronic roadshow presentation identified in Schedule IV, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Republic will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Republic by or on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for inclusion therein as set forth in the letter attached hereto in Exhibit C. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Republic may otherwise have.

(b) Underwriters’ Indemnity. Each of the Underwriters agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Republic and its officials, including its authorized representative in the United States who signs the Registration Statement, against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) to which any of them may become subject, insofar as such losses, liabilities, costs,

claims, actions, demands, damages or expenses (i) that are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or arise out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, not misleading, or (ii) that are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Disclosure Package, in the Final Prospectus, in the electronic roadshow presentation identified in Schedule IV, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon or in conformity with written information furnished to the Republic by or on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for use in the preparation of the documents as set forth in the letter attached hereto as Exhibit C, and agrees to reimburse the Republic, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Underwriters may otherwise have.

(c) Notification. If any action, proceeding (including any governmental investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against the indemnifying party under this Section 10, the indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of such indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party to represent such indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding (who shall not, without the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party) and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. In such proceeding, the indemnified party shall have the right to retain counsel of its own choice to represent it in connection with such action, claim or demand, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary, (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, or (iii) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. With respect to any indemnification claim under Section 10(a) hereof, any such firm shall be designated in writing by the Underwriters. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with such consent or if there shall be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. The indemnifying party shall not, without the written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder

by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is for any reason held by a court to be unavailable in accordance with its terms, the Republic, on one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, costs, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by said indemnity agreement incurred by the Republic, on one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in such proportions so that the Underwriters are responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the amount referred to in Section 9(c) hereof bears to the initial public offering price of the Reopening Securities, and the Republic is responsible for the balance; provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Underwriters shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount paid to the Underwriters, respectively, pursuant to Section 9(c) hereof. The Underwriters’ contribution obligations are several in proportion to their respective obligations as reflected Schedule II, and not joint. For purposes of this Section 10(d), each director, officer, employee and controlling person of the Underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Underwriters and each official of the Republic who signs the Registration Statement shall have the same rights to contribution as the Republic. Any party entitled to contribution shall, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this paragraph (d), notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission so to notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have other than under this paragraph (d).

11. Default of Underwriters

If any of the Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Reopening Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriter(s) shall be obligated to take up and pay for the Reopening Securities which the defaulting Underwriter(s) agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate principal amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter(s) agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 30% of the aggregate principal amount of Reopening Securities set forth in Schedule II hereto, the remaining Underwriter(s) shall have the right to purchase all (but not less than all), but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Reopening Securities, and if such non-defaulting Underwriter(s) does not purchase all the Reopening Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Republic. In the event of any such default that does not result in a termination of this Agreement, either the Underwriters or the Republic shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement or Final Prospectus or in any other documents or

arrangements. As used herein, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter pursuant to this Section 11.

12. Underwriters Not Fiduciaries.

The Republic acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) the purchase and sale of the Reopening Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Republic, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other;

(b) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction the Underwriters are acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Republic;

(c) the Underwriters have not assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Republic with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether the Underwriters have advised or are currently advising the Republic on other matters) or any other obligation to the Republic except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement; and

(d) the Republic has consulted its own advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Republic agrees that it will not claim that the Underwriters have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Republic, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

13. Expenses

Subject to Section 10 hereof, the Republic agrees to pay (a) the fees and expenses of Uruguayan and United States counsel to the Republic in connection with the issuance of the Reopening Securities in connection with the preparation and filing of the Prospectus Supplement and the Disclosure Package, (b) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any paying agent (including related fees and expenses of any counsel for such parties), (c) the fees and costs incurred in connection with obtaining ratings of the Reopening Securities from rating agencies and (d) its out-of-pocket expenses, including its own expenses relating to investor presentations on any “roadshow” undertaken in connection with the marketing of the Reopening Securities. The Underwriters agree to pay all other expenses, including, without limitation, (a) the costs of filing the Prospectus Supplement and the Disclosure Package on XXXXX, (b) the costs of printing the Prospectus Supplement and the Disclosure Package, (c) the costs of distributing the Prospectus Supplement and the Disclosure Package, (d) the fees and expenses of Uruguayan and United States counsel to the Underwriters in connection with the issuance of the Reopening Securities, (e) all listing fees incurred in connection with the clearance of the Reopening Securities for book-entry transfer through DTC, (f) the listing and filing fees and similar expenses incurred in listing the Reopening Securities on each Stock Exchange including the fees paid to qualify the Reopening Securities with the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and for listing on the Euro MTF Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, (g) the costs of tombstones, if any, (h) their out-of-pocket expenses, including any expenses associated with the due diligence review conducted by the Underwriters, (i) the costs of any electronic road show and (j) their own

costs and expenses relating to investor presentations on any “road show” undertaken in connection with the marketing of the Reopening Securities.

14. Termination

(a) The Underwriters’ Ability to Terminate. Despite anything contained in this Agreement, the Underwriters may, by notice to the Republic (attention: Debt Management Unit of the Ministry of Economy and Finance) given at any time prior to payment of the net subscription moneys for the Reopening Securities to the Republic (but, in the case of Section 14(a)(iii) and/or (v) hereof, only after consultation with the Republic), terminate this Agreement in any of the following circumstances:

(i) there shall have come to the notice of the Underwriters any breach of, or any event rendering untrue or incorrect in any material respect, any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 5 hereof or any failure to perform in any material respect any of the Republic’s undertakings or agreements in this Agreement; or

(ii) any of the conditions specified in Section 8 hereof has not been satisfied or waived by the Underwriters and cannot be satisfied on or before the Closing Date; or

(iii) in the opinion of the Underwriters, there shall have been such a change in Uruguayan, United States or international financial, political or economic conditions as would in the Underwriters’ reasonable judgment be likely to prejudice materially the success of the offering and distribution of the Reopening Securities; or

(iv) on the Closing Date, the Republic shall fail to tender the Reopening Securities for delivery; or

(v) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or of the debt securities of the Republic in the United States shall have been suspended or materially limited or a major disruption has occurred in the settlement or clearance of debt securities services in the United States and such event shall continue until at least the Business Day preceding the Closing Date, or a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York state or Uruguayan authorities and any such event shall make it impractical to proceed with the closing.

(b) Consequences of Termination. Upon such notice being given, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further effect and no party hereto shall be under any liability to any other in respect of this Agreement, except for the liability of the parties in relation to expenses as provided in Section 13 hereof, any liability arising before or in relation to such termination and the respective obligations of the parties pursuant to Section 15 hereof which would have continued had the arrangements for the subscription and issue of the Reopening Securities been completed.

15. Survival of Representations and Obligations

The indemnity agreement set forth in Section 10 hereof, the obligations of the Republic under Section 13 hereof, Sections 17, 18, 19 and 20 hereof and the representations and

warranties set forth in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect despite completion of the arrangements for the sale and issuance of the Reopening Securities or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters or the Republic.

17. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

(b) Jurisdiction. The Republic hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any New York state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, and any appellate court, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Reopening Securities, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus, and the Republic hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state or federal court. The Republic hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding and any right of jurisdiction in such action or proceeding on account of the place of residence or domicile of the Republic. The Republic hereby irrevocably appoints CT Corporation System (the “Process Agent”), with an office on the date hereof at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx of America, as its agent to receive on behalf of itself and its property service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any such action or proceeding, except actions arising out of U.S. federal or state securities laws, brought in such New York state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York. Such service may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to the Republic in care of the Process Agent at the address specified above for the Process Agent, and the Republic hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf. As an alternative method of service, the Republic also irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding in such New York state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York by the mailing of copies of such process to itself at its address specified in Section 16 hereof.

(c) Nothing in this Section 17 shall affect the right of the Underwriters to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of the Underwriters to bring any action or proceeding against the Republic or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions.

18. Waiver of Sovereign Immunity

(a) To the extent that the Republic has or hereafter may acquire or have attributed to it any immunity under any law (other than the laws of the Republic) from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, the Republic hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement, the Reopening Securities, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus. To the extent that the Republic has or hereafter may have any immunity under the laws of the Republic (i) from jurisdiction of any court, (ii) from any legal process in the courts of the Republic (other than immunity from attachment prior to judgment and attachment in aid of execution), or (iii) from any legal process in any court other than a court of the Republic, whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution or otherwise, with respect to itself or its property, the Republic hereby irrevocably waives such immunity to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the Republic, in respect of its obligations under this Agreement, the Reopening Securities, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus. Without

limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Republic agrees that the waivers set forth in this subsection (a) shall have the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States and are intended to be irrevocable for purposes of such Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Republic hereby reserves the right to plead sovereign immunity under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 with respect to actions brought against the Republic under U.S. federal securities laws or any state securities laws.

(b) The Republic hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any requirement or other provision of law, rule, regulation or practice which requires or otherwise establishes as a condition to the institution, prosecution or completion of any action or proceeding (including appeals) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Reopening Securities, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus, the posting of any bond or the furnishing, directly or indirectly, of any other security.

19. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

As used in this Section 19:

“BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k).

“Covered Entity” means any of the following:

(i)

a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

(ii)

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

20. Severability

In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

21. Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original.

22. Successors

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and the controlling persons referred to in Section 10 hereof and their respective administrators and successors, and no other person shall have any right or obligation hereunder. No purchaser of any Reopening Security from the Underwriters shall be deemed to be a successor or assign merely by reason of such purchase.

23. Obligation of the Underwriters for Purposes of Uruguayan Law

In order to give effect to Section 17(a) hereof under the laws of the Republic, the Underwriters and the Republic hereby acknowledge that the primary obligation arising under this Agreement is the obligation on the part of the Underwriters to disburse the Purchase Price, subject to the adjustments referred to in Section 9(c) hereof, to or for the account of the Republic on the Closing Date against delivery of the Reopening Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement, please sign and return to the Republic a counterpart hereof, whereupon this instrument will become a binding agreement among the Republic and the Underwriters.

Selling Restrictions

General

By their purchase and acceptance of the Reopening Securities issued under this Agreement to which these selling restrictions are scheduled, the Underwriters represent, warrant and agree that they will observe all applicable laws and regulations in any jurisdiction in which they may offer, sell or deliver Reopening Securities; and they will not directly or indirectly offer, sell, resell, reoffer or deliver Reopening Securities or distribute any prospectus, circular, advertisement or other offering material in any country or jurisdiction except under circumstances that will result in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, and all actions or measures so taken shall be at the sole expense of the Underwriters. The Underwriters also acknowledge and agree that they are not authorized to give any information on or to make any representation not contained in the Final Prospectus or the Disclosure Package in connection with the offer and sale of the Reopening Securities.

No action has been or will be taken by the Underwriters or the Republic that would permit a public offering of the Reopening Securities or possession or distribution of the Final Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, or any other offering or publicity material relating to the Reopening Securities, in any country or jurisdiction in which action for that purpose is required (other than the United States).

Except for registration under the Securities Act and compliance with the rules and regulations thereunder and the qualification of the Reopening Securities for offer and sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriters and the Republic may agree to pursuant to Section 7(A)(f) hereof, the Republic shall not have any responsibility for obtaining, and the Underwriters agree with the Republic that they and their respective affiliates will obtain, any consent, approval or authorization required for the purchase, offer, sale or delivery by them of any of the Reopening Securities under the laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction to which they are subject or in or from which they make such purchase, offer, sale or delivery of any of the Reopening Securities.

Notice to Prospective Investors in the European Economic Area

In any Member State, the Prospectus Supplement is only addressed to and is only directed at qualified investors in that Member State within the meaning of Article 2(e) of the Prospectus Regulation (“Qualified Investors”).

The Prospectus Supplement has been prepared on the basis that any offer of Reopening Securities in any Member State of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of Reopening Securities. Accordingly, any person making or intending to make an offer in the EEA of Reopening Securities which are the subject of the offers contemplated in the Prospectus Supplement may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for Uruguay or any of the Underwriters to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Regulation in relation to such offer. Neither the Republic nor the Underwriters have

Sch. III-1

authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of Reopening Securities to any legal entity which is not a “qualified investor” as defined in the Prospectus Regulation, provided that no such offer of Reopening Securities shall require the Republic or the Underwriters to publish a prospectus for such offer. Neither Uruguay nor the Underwriters have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of Reopening Securities through any financial intermediary, other than offers made by the Underwriters, which constitute the final placement of the Reopening Securities contemplated in the Prospectus Supplement.

For the purposes of the above provision, the expression “Prospectus Regulation” means Regulation (EU) 2017/1129. (as amended or superseded).

The Reopening Securities are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes, (a) a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended) (the “Insurance Distribution Directive”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation (a “Qualified Investor”), and (b) the expression “offer” includes the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Reopening Securities to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the Reopening Securities. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Reopening Securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Reopening Securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

Each person in a Member State of the EEA who receives any communication in respect of, or who acquires any Reopening Securities under, the offers to the public contemplated in the Prospectus Supplement, or to whom the Reopening Securities are otherwise made available, will be deemed to have represented, warranted and agreed to and with each Underwriter and the Republic that it and any person on whose behalf it acquires Reopening Securities is:

(a) a Qualified Investor; and

(b) not a “retail investor” as defined above.

Sch. III-2

Any distributor subject to MiFID II subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Reopening Securities is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Reopening Securities and determining the appropriate distribution channels for the purposes of the MiFID II product governance rules under Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 (the “Delegated Directive”). Neither the Republic nor any of the Underwriters make any representations or warranties as to a Distributor’s compliance with the Delegated Directive.

Delivery of the Reopening 2031 Bonds is expected on or about October 2, 2019, which will be the sixth business day following the date of pricing of the Reopening 2031 Bonds. Under Rule 15c6–1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Reopening 2031 Bonds prior to the Settlement Date may be required, by virtue of the fact that the Reopening 2031 Bonds initially will settle in T+6, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Reopening 2031 Bonds who wish to trade Reopening 2031 Bonds prior to the Settlement Date should consult their own advisor.

This term sheet has been prepared on the basis that any offer of Reopening 2031 Bonds in any Member State of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of Reopening 2031 Bonds. The expression “Prospectus Regulation” means Regulation (EU) 2017/1129.

The Reopening 2031 Bonds are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (“EEA”). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as

Sch. IV-3

amended, “MiFID II”); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended, “IMD”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Reopening 2031 Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Reopening 2031 Bonds or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

Each person in a Member State of the EEA who receives any communication in respect of, or who acquires any Reopening 2031 Bonds under, the offers to the public contemplated in the Prospectus Supplement, or to whom the Reopening 2031 Bonds are otherwise made available, will be deemed to have represented, warranted, acknowledged and agreed to and with each underwriter and the Republic that it and any person on whose behalf it acquires Reopening 2031 Bonds is not a “retail investor” (as defined above).

This document is for distribution only to persons who (i) have professional experience in matters relating to investments falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Xxx 0000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (as amended, the “Financial Promotion Order”), (ii) are persons falling within Article 49(2)(a) to (d) (“high net worth companies, unincorporated associations etc.”) of the Financial Promotion Order, (iii) are outside the United Kingdom, (iv) fall within Article 43 (“Members and creditors of certain bodies corporate”) of Financial Promotion Order, or (v) are persons to whom an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000) in connection with the issue or sale of any securities may otherwise lawfully be communicated or caused to be communicated (all such persons together being referred to as “relevant persons”). This document is directed only at relevant persons and must not be acted on or relied on by persons who are not relevant persons. Any investment or investment activity to which this document relates is available only to relevant persons and will be engaged in only with relevant persons.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to Section 8(e)(i) of the Underwriting Agreement dated September 24, 2019 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among República Oriental del Uruguay (the “Republic”) and XXXXXXX XXXXX & CO. LLC, SANTANDER INVESTMENT SECURITIES INC. and SCOTIA CAPITAL (USA) INC. (the “Underwriters”) relating to the issuance and sale by the Republic of (i) an additional U.S.$ 216,969,673.00 aggregate principal amount of its 4.375% Bonds due 2031 and (ii) an additional U.S.$ 837,584,169.00 aggregate principal amount of its 4,975% Bonds due 2055 (together, the “Reopening Securities”). The Reopening Securities will be issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of October 27, 2015 (the “Indenture”), between the Republic and The Bank of New York Mellon as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Reopening Securities, the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture (collectively, the “Agreements”), are more fully described in the Registration

A-1

Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus prepared by the Republic in connection with the issuance of the Reopening Securities. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Underwriting Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

I have acted in my capacity as counsels to the Republic in connection with the Agreements and issuance of the Reopening Securities. I or attorneys on my staff are familiar with the organization and affairs of the Republic, and its legal affairs are encompassed by my duties as counsels to the Republic. In connection with this opinion, I have examined:

the Agreements and form of the Reopening Securities;

the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus;

the Constitution of the Republic, Law 17,947 dated January 8, 2006 (as amended by Article 266 of Law 18,834 dated November 4, 2011, Articles 735 and 736 of Law 19,355 dated December 19, 2015 and Article 334 of Law 19,670 dated October 15, 2018), the Decree and the Ministry of Economy and Finance Resolution;

the information furnished by the Debt Management Unit (DMU) of the Ministry of Economy and Finance;

and such other documents, agreements and instruments and such treaties, laws, rules, decrees and the like as I have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed.

I have assumed for purposes of this opinion: (i) that the Agreements and all other documents to be executed and delivered thereunder have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Underwriters and the Trustee, as the case may be, and that each such party has adequate power, authority and legal right to enter into each Agreement to which it is a party; (ii) the authenticity of all documents examined by me (and the completeness of and conformity to the originals of any copies thereof submitted to me) and the genuineness of all signatures; (iii) that the Underwriting Agreement has not been terminated pursuant to Section 14 thereof; and (iv) that the execution, delivery and performance of the Agreements and the other documents and instruments provided for by the Agreements, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, do not and will not contravene or breach, or result in a default under, or require any consent of any person under, any agreement or other document or instrument to which any of the parties to any thereof (other than the Republic) is a party or by which it is bound.

Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

(a) The Republic has full power and authority to execute and deliver each of the Underwriting Agreement and the Reopening Securities and each of the other documents and instruments to be executed and delivered by the Republic thereunder, to incur the obligations to be incurred by it as provided therein and to perform and observe the provisions thereof on its part to be performed or observed and to issue and sell the Reopening Securities and to perform the terms thereof.

A-2

(b) The issuance and sale of the Reopening Securities and the execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement and the Reopening Securities by the Republic and each of the other documents to be executed and delivered by the Republic thereunder and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by the Republic.

(c) Each of the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Republic and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Republic enforceable against the Republic in accordance with the terms thereof. The Reopening Securities have been validly authorized and, when duly executed and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered and paid for in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement, will be valid and binding obligations of the Republic entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

(d) The execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture, the issuance, sale and delivery of the Reopening Securities and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by the Agreements (and compliance with the terms thereof) do not (i) conflict with or result in a breach of any constitutional provision, any provision of any treaty, convention, statute, law, regulation or decree, or to the best of my knowledge after due inquiry, any judgment, order of any government, governmental body or court, domestic or foreign court order or similar authority binding upon the Republic, (ii) to the best of my knowledge after due inquiry, conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under any fiscal agency agreement, trust deed, contract, agreement or instrument to which the Republic or any National Governmental Agency is a party or by which any of them or any of their respective assets or properties are bound or (iii) to the best of my knowledge after due inquiry, result in the creation of any lien or encumbrance upon such properties or assets.

(e) No consent, approval (including, but not limited to, exchange control approval), authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court, government or governmental agency or body or any third party is required to be taken, fulfilled, performed or obtained in the Republic or elsewhere (including, without limitation, the obtaining of any consent, approval or license or the making of any filing or registration) for the execution and delivery of the Agreements, or for the issue, sale, delivery and performance of the Reopening Securities as contemplated therein and in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by the Agreements and the compliance by the Republic with the terms of the Agreements, or for the validity or enforceability of the Agreements against the Republic, except the Decree, the Ministry of Economy and Finance Resolution, which have been duly obtained and are in full force and effect on the date hereof and will be in full force and effect on the Closing Date.

(f) Other than as described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus, there is no pending or, to the best of my knowledge after due inquiry, threatened action or proceeding (foreign or domestic) against or affecting the Republic or any National Governmental Agency which, if determined adversely to the Republic or any such National Governmental Agency, would individually or in the aggregate materially adversely affect the financial condition or revenues and expenditures of the Republic or would materially

A-3

adversely affect the ability of the Republic to perform its obligations under the Agreements or which are otherwise material in the context of the issuance of the Reopening Securities.

(g) The execution and delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the other documents referred therein, and the issuance and sale of the Reopening Securities and performance of the terms thereof by the Republic constitute private and commercial acts rather than public or governmental acts. Under the laws of the Republic, except as described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus, neither the Republic nor any of its property has any immunity (i) from jurisdiction of any court, (ii) from set-off or any legal process in the courts of the Republic other than attachment prior to judgment and attachment in aid of execution or (iii) from set-off or any legal process in any court other than a court of the Republic (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution or otherwise). Any judgment against the Republic of a state or Federal court in the State of New York, United States of America, is capable of being enforced in the courts of the Republic in accordance with the laws of the Republic, provided that such judgment is ratified by the Uruguayan Supreme Court. Such ratification will occur (i) if there exists a treaty with the country where such judgment was issued, pursuant to the provisions of such treaty, and (ii) in the absence of such treaty, if such judgment (1) complies with all formalities required for the enforceability thereof under the laws of the country where the same was issued, (2) together with related documents, has been translated into Spanish and satisfies the authentication requirements of Uruguayan law, (3) was issued by a competent court after valid service of process upon the parties to the action, (4) was issued after an opportunity was given to the defendant to present its defense, (5) is not subject to appeal and (6) is not against Uruguayan public policy. The waiver of immunity by the Republic contained in Section 18 of the Underwriting Agreement, Section 9.7 of the Indenture, and Paragraph 16(d) of the Terms and Conditions of the Reopening Securities, the appointment by the Republic of a process agent in Section 17(b) of the Underwriting Agreement, Section 9.7 of the Indenture, and Paragraph 16 of the Terms and Conditions of the Reopening Securities, the consent by the Republic to the jurisdiction of the courts specified in such Sections and paragraphs and the provisions in these Sections and paragraphs that the laws of the State of New York shall govern the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture, and the Reopening Securities, are irrevocably binding on the Republic.

(h) After being translated into Spanish by an official translator, the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the Reopening Securities will be in proper legal form under the laws of the Republic for the enforcement thereof in the Republic against the Republic.

(i) There is no tax, duty, levy, impost, deduction, governmental charge or withholding imposed by the Republic or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein by virtue of the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Agreements (except for court fees and taxes incurred in connection with enforcement proceedings) or to ensure the legality, enforceability, validity or admissibility into evidence of the Agreements or of any other document to be furnished thereunder and neither is it necessary that the Agreements be registered, filed or recorded with or submitted to any court or other authority in the Republic to ensure such legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility into evidence (except for court fees and taxes incurred in connection with enforcement proceedings).

A-4

(j) The Reopening Securities are the direct, general, unconditional and unsubordinated Foreign Debt (as defined in the Terms and Conditions of the Reopening Securities) of the Republic for which the full faith and credit of the Republic will have been pledged; when issued, the Reopening Securities will rank without any preference among themselves and equally with all other unsubordinated Foreign Debt of the Republic. It is understood that this provision shall not be construed so as to require the Republic to make payments under the Reopening Securities ratably with payments being made under any other external indebtedness.

(k) When issued, the Reopening Securities and all payments thereon will be free and exempt from any and all taxes, duties or other charges of whatsoever nature of the Republic, except to the extent that such Reopening Securities or payments will be held or received by persons who are subject to tax for reasons other than the mere holding of such Securities or receiving payments thereon.

(l) The Underwriters are not subject to any taxes, duties or other governmental charges imposed by the Republic or by any political subdivisions or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to payments received by the Underwriters, as contemplated in the Underwriting Agreement.

(m) It is not necessary under the laws of the Republic that the Underwriters be licensed, qualified or entitled to carry on business in the Republic by reason of the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of any of the Agreements and the Underwriters will not be deemed resident, domiciled, to be carrying on business or subject to taxation in the Republic solely by reason of the execution, delivery, performance outside the Republic or enforcement of the Agreements.

(n) All statements in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, with respect to the laws of the Republic are true and correct as of their respective dates and the date hereof and the information stated in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, with regard to the Republic has been included on the authority of the Republic and it is duly authorized to do so under the laws of the Republic.

(o) The statements in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus under the captions “Description of the Securities” and “Description of the Reopening Securities,” respectively, insofar as such statements constitute a summary of the documents or matters referred to therein, taken as a whole, are an accurate summary of such documents and matters.

(p) Based upon due inquiry of officials of the Republic involved in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, I believe that the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (except for financial information and other financial data contained or incorporated therein, as to which I are not called upon to express any belief), did not and do not, as of their respective dates of issuance, the date hereof, the Initial Sale Time of 4:40 p.m. New York City Time, the Effective Time and the Execution Time, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances existing at such dates, not misleading.

A-5

(q) The laws of the Republic do not require any statute or regulation or legal or governmental proceeding, or any contract or document of the Republic of any character, to be described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus.

My opinion is subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to questions arising under the laws of the Republic. This opinion letter is furnished to you in your capacity as the Underwriters under the Underwriting Agreement and as the Trustee under the Indenture and is solely for your benefit as such. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may furnish a copy of this opinion letter (with notice to us, which shall be given before furnishing such copy, when practicable) (a) if required by any applicable law or regulation, (b) to any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over you if required by such authority or (c) in connection with any actual or threatened claim against you relating to the issue of the Reopening Securities if required to assist you in establishing defenses under applicable securities laws, it being understood and agreed that I assume no duty or liability whatsoever to any person furnished this letter in accordance with this sentence and that any such person is not entitled to rely on this letter in any manner as a result of being furnished this letter or for any other reason. This opinion letter is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special New York counsel to República Oriental del Uruguay (the “Republic”) in connection with the Republic’s offering pursuant to a registration statement (File No. 333-223463), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under Schedule B of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of US$ 216,969,673.00 aggregate principal amount of its 4.375% USD Bonds due 2031 and US$ 837,584,169.00 aggregate principal amount of its 4.975% USD Bonds due 2055 (the “Bonds”) to be issued under an indenture dated as of October 27, 2015 (the “Indenture”), between the Republic and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. Such registration statement, as of September 24, 2019, the date on which the most recent Form 18-K/A was filed as an amendment thereto, insofar as it relates to the Bonds (as determined for purposes of Rule 430B(f)(2) under the Securities Act), including the documents incorporated by reference therein, is herein called the “Registration Statement”; the related prospectus dated March 6, 2018 included in the Registration Statement, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, is herein called the “Base Prospectus”; the preliminary prospectus supplement dated September 24, 2019, as filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, is herein called the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”; and the related prospectus supplement dated September 24, 2019, 2019, as filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, is herein called the “Final Prospectus Supplement.” The Base

B-1

Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement together are herein called the “Pricing Prospectus,” and the Base Prospectus and the Final Prospectus Supplement together are herein called the “Final Prospectus.” This opinion letter is furnished pursuant to Section 8(e)(iii) of the Underwriting Agreement dated as of September 24, 2019, 2019 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among the Republic, acting through the Ministry of Economy and Finance, and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Co. LLC, Santander Investment Securities Inc. and Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. (the “Underwriters”).

In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have reviewed the following documents:

(a)

an executed copy of the Underwriting Agreement;

(b)

the Registration Statement;

(c)

the Pricing Prospectus and the documents listed in Schedule I hereto;

(d)

the Final Prospectus;

(e)

facsimile copies of the Bonds in global form (the “Global Bonds”) as executed by the Republic;

(f)

an executed copy of the Indenture; and

(g)

the documents delivered to you by the Republic at the closing pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.

In addition, we have reviewed the originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of such other instruments and other certificates of public officials of the Republic and such other persons, and we have made such investigations of law, as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions expressed below.

In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. In addition, we have assumed and have not verified (i) that all signatures on all such agreements and documents are genuine and (ii) the accuracy as to factual matters of each document we have reviewed (including, without limitation, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Republic in the Underwriting Agreement).

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the further assumptions and qualifications set forth below, it is our opinion that:

(1) The Underwriting Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Republic under the law of the State of New York.

(2) The Indenture has been duly executed and delivered by the Republic under the law of the State of New York and is a valid, binding and enforceable agreement of the Republic.

(3) The Global Bonds have been duly executed and delivered by the Republic under the law of the State of New York, and, assuming that the Global Bonds have been duly authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Global Bonds have been paid for in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Global Bonds are valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Republic, entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

(4) The statements set forth under the heading “Description of the Securities” in the Base Prospectus and under the heading “Description of the Bonds” in the Final Prospectus Supplement, insofar as such statements purport to summarize certain provisions of the Bonds and the Indenture, provide a fair summary of such provisions, and the statements made under the heading “Taxation-United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” in each of the Pricing Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, insofar as such statements purport to summarize certain federal income tax laws of the United States, constitute a fair summary of the principal U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Bonds.

(5) The issuance and sale of the Bonds to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement do not, and the performance by the Republic of its obligations in the Underwriting Agreement will not, require any consent, approval, authorization, registration or qualification of or with any governmental authority of the United States or the State of New York that in our experience normally would be applicable with respect to such issuance, sale or performance, except such as have been obtained or effected under the Securities Act (but we express no opinion relating to any state securities or Blue Sky laws).

(6) Assuming validity under the laws of Uruguay, under the laws of the State of New York relating to submission to jurisdiction, the Republic has, pursuant to Section 17(b) of the Underwriting Agreement, Section 9.7 of the Indenture, and Paragraph 16(b) of the Terms and Conditions of the Bonds (i) validly and irrevocably submitted to the personal jurisdiction of any New York State or United States federal court located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York in any action arising out of or related to the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture or the Bonds, (ii) validly and irrevocably appointed CT Corporation System as its initial authorized agent but solely for the purposes and subject to the limitations described in Section 17(b) of the Underwriting Agreement, Section 9.7 of the Indenture and Paragraph 16(b) of the Terms and Conditions of the Bonds and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, validly and irrevocably waived the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in such court.

Insofar as the foregoing opinions relate to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any agreement or obligation of the Republic, (i) we have assumed that the Republic and each other party to such agreement or obligation has satisfied those legal requirements that are applicable to it to the extent necessary to make such agreement or obligation enforceable against it (except that no such assumption is made as to the Republic regarding matters of the federal law of the United States of America or the law of the State of New York that in our experience normally would be applicable with respect to such agreement or obligation), (ii) such opinions are subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity and (iii) such opinions are subject to the effect of judicial application of foreign laws or foreign governmental actions affecting creditors’ rights.

We express no opinion as to the enforceability of Paragraph 17 of the Terms and Conditions of the Bonds relating to currency indemnity.

The enforceability in the United States of the waiver of immunities by the Republic set forth in Section 18(a) of the Underwriting Agreement, Section 9.7 of the Indenture and Paragraph 16(d) of the Terms and Conditions of the Bonds, is subject to the limitations imposed

B-3

by the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976. We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any such waiver of immunity to the extent that it purports to apply to any immunity to which the Republic may become entitled after the date hereof.

We also note that the designations in Section 17(b) of the Underwriting Agreement, Section 9.7 of the Indenture and Paragraph 16(b) of the Terms and Conditions of the Bonds of the United States federal courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York as the venue for actions or proceedings relating to the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture or the Bonds, respectively, are (notwithstanding the waivers in Section 17(b) of the Underwriting Agreement, Section 9.7 of the Indenture and Paragraph 16(b) of the Terms and Conditions of the Bonds) subject to the power of such courts to transfer actions pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) or to dismiss such actions or proceedings on the grounds that such a federal court is an inconvenient forum for such an action or proceeding.

The foregoing opinions are limited to the federal law of the United States of America and the law of the State of New York.

We are furnishing this opinion letter to you, as the Underwriters, solely for your benefit in your capacity as such in connection with the offering of the Bonds. This opinion letter is not to be relied on by or furnished to any other person or used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may furnish a copy of this opinion letter (with notice to us, which shall be given before furnishing such copy, when practicable) (a) if required by any applicable law or regulation, (b) to any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over you if required by such authority or (c) in connection with any actual or threatened claim against you relating to the issue of the Bonds if required to assist you in establishing defenses under applicable securities laws, it being understood and agreed that we assume no duty or liability whatsoever to any person furnished this letter in accordance with this sentence and that any such person is not entitled to rely on this letter in any manner as a result of being furnished this letter or for any other reason. We assume no obligation to advise you or any other person, or to make any investigations, as to any legal developments or factual matters arising subsequent to the date hereof that might affect the opinions expressed herein.

Very truly yours,

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special New York counsel to República Oriental del Uruguay (the “Republic”) in connection with the Republic’s offering pursuant to a registration statement (File No. 333-223463), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under Schedule B of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of U.S.$ 216,969,673.00 aggregate principal amount of its 4.375% USD Bonds due 2031 and U.S.$ 837,584,169.00 aggregate principal amount of its 4.975% USD Bonds due 2055 (the “Bonds”) to be issued under an indenture dated as of October 27, 2015 (the “Indenture”), between the Republic and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. Such registration statement, as of September 24, 2019, the date on which the most recent Form 18-K/A was filed as an amendment thereto, insofar as it relates to the Bonds (as determined for purposes of Rule 430B(f)(2) under the Securities Act), including the documents incorporated by reference therein, is herein called the “Registration Statement”; the related prospectus dated March 6, 2018 included in the Registration Statement, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, is herein called the “Base Prospectus”; the preliminary prospectus supplement dated September 24, 2019, as filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, is herein called the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”; and the related prospectus supplement dated September 24, 2019, as filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, including the documents

B-6

incorporated by reference therein, is herein called the “Final Prospectus Supplement.” The Base Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement together are herein called the “Pricing Prospectus,” and the Base Prospectus and the Final Prospectus Supplement together are herein called the “Final Prospectus.”

This opinion letter is furnished pursuant to Section 8(e)(iii) of the Underwriting Agreement dated as of September 24, 2019 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among the Republic, acting through the Ministry of Economy and Finance, and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Co. LLC, Santander Investment Securities Inc. and Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. (the “Underwriters”).

Because the primary purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters or financial, accounting or statistical information, and because many determinations involved in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and the document listed in Schedule I hereto are of a wholly or partially non-legal character or relate to legal matters outside the scope of our opinion letter to you of even date herewith, we are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or the document listed in Schedule I hereto (except to the extent expressly set forth in numbered paragraph 4 of our opinion letter to you of even date herewith), and we make no representation that we have independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements (except as aforesaid). We also are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for ascertaining whether or when any of the Pricing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or the document listed in Schedule I hereto was conveyed to any person for purposes of Rule 159 under the Securities Act. We note that certain portions of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus and the Final Prospectus have been included therein on the authority of officials of the Republic, and that we are not experts within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any portion of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, including, without limitation, the financial, accounting or statistical data included therein.

However, in the course of our acting as special New York counsel to the Republic in connection with its preparation of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus (but excluding the documents incorporated by reference in each of them), and the document listed in Schedule I hereto, we participated in telephone conversations with officials of the Republic, your representatives and representatives of your New York and Uruguayan counsel, during which telephone conversations the contents of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and the document listed in Schedule I hereto and related matters were discussed, and we reviewed the documents incorporated by reference in each of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and certain documents furnished to us by the Republic.

Based on our participation in such telephone conversations and our review of such documents as described above, our understanding of the U.S. federal securities laws and the experience we have gained in our practice thereunder, we advise you that:

(a) The Registration Statement (except the financial and accounting data included therein and the statistical data included in the sourcebook prepared in connection with

B-7

the offering, as to which we express no view) as of September 24, 2019, the date on which the most recent Form 18-K/A was filed as an amendment thereto, and the Final Prospectus (except as aforesaid), as of the date thereof, appear on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder.

(b) No information has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Registration Statement (except the financial and accounting data included therein, the statistical data included in the sourcebook prepared in connection with the offering, and Exhibit 99.C to the Annual Report, as to which we express no view), as of September 24, 2019, the date on which the most recent Form 18-K/A was filed as an amendment thereto, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(c) No information has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Pricing Prospectus, considered together with the amount and the price to the public of the Securities on the front cover of the Final Prospectus Supplement and the document listed in Schedule I hereto (except the financial and accounting data included therein, the statistical data included in the sourcebook prepared in connection with the offering, and Exhibit 99.C to the Annual Report, as to which we express no view), as of 9:00 p.m. New York time on September 24, 2019, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(d) No information has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Final Prospectus (except the financial and accounting data included therein, the statistical data included in the sourcebook prepared in connection with the offering, and Exhibit 99.C to the Annual Report, as to which we express no view), as of the date thereof or hereof, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

We confirm to you that (a) based solely upon the review of the Notice of Effectiveness on the Commission’s website, the Registration Statement is effective under the Securities Act, and (b) based solely upon a review of filings on the website of the Commission, no stop order with respect thereto has been issued by the Commission, and to the best of our knowledge, no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or threatened by the Commission.

We are furnishing this letter to you as the Underwriters, solely for your benefit in your capacity as Underwriters in connection with the offering of the Bonds. This letter is not to be relied on by or furnished to any other person or used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may furnish a copy of this opinion letter (with notice to us, which shall be given before furnishing such copy, when practicable) (a) if required by any applicable law or regulation, (b) to any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over you if required by such authority or (c) in connection with any actual or threatened claim against you relating to the issue of the Bonds if required to assist you in establishing defenses under applicable securities laws, it being understood and agreed that we assume no duty or liability whatsoever to any

B-8

person furnished this letter in accordance with this sentence and that any such person is not entitled to rely on this letter in any manner as a result of being furnished this letter or for any other reason. We assume no obligation to advise you or any other person, or to make any investigations, as to any legal developments or factual matters arising subsequent to the date hereof that might affect the views expressed herein.
