(e) Officer’s Certificate. The Representatives shall have received on and as of the Closing Date a certificate of the Undersecretary of State of the Ministry of Finance of Poland satisfactory to the Representatives (i) confirming that such representative has carefully reviewed the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus and, to the best knowledge of such representative, the representations set forth in Sections 3(b), 3(c) and 3(d) hereof are true and correct, (ii) confirming that the other representations and warranties of the State Treasury in this Agreement are true and correct and that the State Treasury has complied with all agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior to such Closing Date and (iii) to the effect set forth in subsections (a) through (c) of this Section 5 and to the further effect that there has not occurred any material adverse change, or any development involving a prospective material adverse change, in or affecting the financial, economic or political condition of Poland except as set forth in or contemplated in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

6. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Indemnification of the Underwriters. The State Treasury agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and each affiliate of any Underwriter which assists such Underwriter in the distribution of the Securities and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, the reasonable legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, not misleading, (ii) or any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Time of Sale Information (including any Time of Sale Information that has subsequently been amended), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the State Treasury in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein. The State Treasury further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any requirement to pay any stamp duty or other issue, transaction, value added or similar tax, fund or duty payable in Poland, the United Kingdom or the United States (including court fees) in relation to any transaction carried out pursuant to this Agreement, or the Fiscal Agency Agreement or in connection with the issue and sale of the Securities to the Underwriters or the enforcement of this Agreement. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the State Treasury may otherwise have.

(b) Indemnification of the State Treasury. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the State Treasury and its officials and authorized representatives who signed the Registration Statement to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the State Treasury to each Underwriter, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the State Treasury in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the

C-15

Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Time of Sale Information, or any preliminary prospectus. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have. The State Treasury acknowledges that the information set forth in the table in the first paragraph under the heading “Underwriting” of the preliminary prospectus constitutes the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

(c) Notice and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either of the two preceding paragraphs, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under this Section 6 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under this Section 6. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, also be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary, (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, (iii) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, or (iv) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person. It is understood that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding 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 Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for the Underwriters, each affiliate of any Underwriter which assists such Underwriter in the distribution of the Securities and such control persons of Underwriters shall be designated in writing by the Representatives named in Schedule I hereto and any such separate firm for the State Treasury and its officials and authorized representatives who sign the Registration Statement shall be designated in writing by the State Treasury. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an

C-16

Indemnified Person shall have requested an Indemnifying Person to reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the third sentence of this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such Indemnifying Person of the aforesaid request and (ii) such Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on 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 Person.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the State Treasury on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the State Treasury on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the State Treasury on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same relative proportions as the net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the State Treasury and the total underwriting discounts and the commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the State Treasury on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the State Treasury or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e) Limitation on Liability. The State Treasury and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, in no

C-17

event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 6 are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto, and not joint.

(f) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 6 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(g) Survival. The provisions of Section 11 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 6 and the representations and warranties of the State Treasury set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination or cancellation of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the State Treasury or its ministers and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.

7. No Fiduciary Duties. The State Treasury acknowledges and agrees that in connection with this offering, sale of the Securities or any other services the Underwriters may be deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by the Underwriters: (i) no fiduciary or agency relationship between the State Treasury and any other person, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, exists; (ii) the Underwriters are not acting as advisors, expert or otherwise, to the State Treasury, including, without limitation, with respect to the determination of the public offering price of the Securities, and such relationship between the State Treasury, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (iii) any duties and obligations that the Underwriters may have to the State Treasury shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; and (iv) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the State Treasury. The State Treasury waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Securities.

8. Termination. Notwithstanding anything herein contained, this Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the State Treasury, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, the New York Stock Exchange, (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by Poland shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York or Poland shall have been declared by U.S. Federal, New York State or Polish authorities, (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis,

C-18

either within or outside of the United States or Poland, or a material adverse change in the general economic, political or financial conditions in the United States or Poland the effect of which on financial markets is as such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

9. Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

10. Defaulting Underwriter. If on the Closing Date any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase the Securities which it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as the Representatives may specify, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the principal amount of Securities that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to Section 1 be increased pursuant to this Section 10 by an amount in excess of one-tenth of such principal amount of Securities without the written consent of such Underwriter. If on the Closing Date any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities which it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such date and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the State Treasury for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the State Treasury. In any such case either the Representatives or the State Treasury shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

11. Reimbursement of Underwriters Fees. If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the State Treasury to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the State Treasury shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any condition of the Underwriters’ obligations cannot be fulfilled, except as otherwise agreed with the Representatives, the State Treasury agrees to reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

C-19

12. Persons Entitled to the Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the State Treasury, the Underwriters, each affiliate of any Underwriter which assists such Underwriter in the distribution of the Securities, any controlling persons referred to herein and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person, firm or corporation any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. No purchaser of Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.

13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This agreement has been executed in the Polish and English languages and each of these texts is authentic. To the extent that there is any discrepancy between the Polish and English texts, the English version shall prevail.

14. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.

15. Waiver and Submission to Jurisdiction. (a) The State Treasury irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any court of the State of New York or any U.S. Federal court sitting, in each case, in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, New York, United States, and any appellate court from any thereof, and to the jurisdiction of any Polish court with respect to actions brought against it as a defendant and waives any immunity from the jurisdiction of such courts over any suit, action or proceeding that may be brought in connection with this Agreement. The State Treasury irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any immunity and any objection to any suit, action, or proceeding that may be brought in connection with this Agreement in such courts on the grounds of venue or on the ground that any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Such waiver of immunity constitutes only a limited and specific waiver for the purposes of this Agreement and Securities and in relation to such courts and under no circumstances shall it be interpreted as a general waiver by the State Treasury or a waiver with respect to proceedings unrelated to this Agreement and the Securities or in other courts. Poland reserves the right to plead sovereign immunity under the U.S. Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 with respect to actions brought against it under U.S. federal or state securities law. Poland does not waive any immunity in respect of present or future “premises of the mission” as such term is defined in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations signed in 1961, or “consular premises” as such term is defined in the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations signed in 1963 or military property or military assets of Poland related thereto. The State Treasury agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court shall be conclusive and binding upon such party and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which such party is subject by a suit upon such judgment; provided that service of process is effected upon such party in the manner provided by this Agreement.

(b) The State Treasury agrees that service of all writs, process and summonses in any suit, action or proceeding brought in connection with this Agreement against the State Treasury

C-20

in any court of the State of New York or any U.S. Federal court sitting, in each case, in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, may be made upon the Consul General of the Republic of Poland, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, whom the State Treasury irrevocably appoints as its authorized agent for service of process. The State Treasury represents and warrants that such person has agreed to act as the State Treasury’s agent for service of process. The State Treasury agrees that such appointment shall be irrevocable until the irrevocable appointment by the State Treasury of a successor in the City of New York as its authorized agent for such purpose and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor. The State Treasury further agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments, that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid. If such person shall cease to act as the agent for service of process for the State Treasury, the State Treasury shall appoint without delay another such agent and provide prompt written notice to the Representatives of such appointment. With respect to any such action in any court of the State of New York or any U.S. Federal court, in each case, in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, service of process upon such person, as the authorized agent of the State Treasury for service of process, and written notice of such service to the State Treasury shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the State Treasury.

(c) Nothing in this Section 15 shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of any party to bring any action or proceeding against any other party or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions.

16. English Documents. All documents to be delivered under this Agreement by the State Treasury shall be in the English language or accompanied by a certified English translation.

17. Miscellaneous. (a) Authority of the Representatives. Any action by the Underwriters hereunder may be taken by the Representatives named in Schedule I hereto on behalf of the Underwriters and any such action taken by the Representatives shall be binding upon the Underwriters.

(b) Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Underwriters shall be given to the Representatives at the address set forth in Schedule I hereto. Notices to the State Treasury shall be given to it at Ministry of Finance, xx. Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00, 00-000 Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx (facsimile: x00 00 000 00 00); Attention: Director of Public Debt Department, Ministry of Finance.

(c) Waiver of Immunity. To the extent that the State Treasury, or any of its respective properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled to, or have attributed to it, any right of immunity, on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise, from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from the giving of any relief in respect thereof, from setoff or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any of the courts set forth in the first sentence of Section 15, from service of process, from attachment upon or prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution of judgment, or from execution of judgment, or from other legal process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of any judgment, in any jurisdiction in which the

C-21

proceedings may at any time be commenced, with respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the State Treasury, to the fullest extent permitted by law, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim any such immunity and consents to such relief and enforcement.

(d) Conversion of Currency. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than U.S. dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Representatives could purchase U.S. dollars with such other currency in New York City on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the State Treasury in respect of any sum due from it to any Underwriter shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than U.S. dollars, not be discharged until the first Business Day following receipt by such Underwriter of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency on which (and only to the extent that) such Underwriter may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase U.S. dollars with such other currency; if the U.S. dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Underwriter hereunder, the State Treasury agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any judgment, to indemnify such Underwriter against such loss.

(e) U.S. Tax Disclosure. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party hereto and purchasers of the Securities (and each employee, representative or other agent of such party or purchaser) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of any transaction contemplated herein and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the purchasers of the Securities relating to such U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure, other than any information for which nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws.

Re: The State Treasury of the Republic of Poland $[—] [— ]% Notes due [—] (the “Securities”)

Dear Sirs,

I have acted on behalf of the Minister of Finance representing the State Treasury of the Republic of Poland (the “State Treasury”) in connection with the documents identified in the Appendix to this Opinion (the “Documents”). Other capitalized terms used in this Opinion and the Appendix hereto shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Appendix or in the Documents. I have examined originals of each of the Documents and such other documents as I have considered it necessary or desirable to examine in order to give this opinion. I am of the opinion, subject to the reservations set out below, that:

(i) insofar as Polish law governs the execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement, it has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the State Treasury;

(ii) the Securities have been duly and validly authorized, and, when issued and delivered pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, insofar as Polish law governs the issue and delivery thereof, will have been duly and validly signed, issued and delivered;

C-29

(iii) the Fiscal Agency Agreement has been duly authorized, and insofar as Polish law governs the execution and delivery thereof, duly executed and delivered by the State Treasury;

(iv) when issued, delivered and paid for by the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and authenticated by the Fiscal Agent pursuant to the Fiscal Agency Agreement, the Securities will constitute general and unsecured obligations of the State Treasury, and the full faith and credit of the Republic of Poland will be pledged for the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and interest on, the Securities and for the performance of all obligations of the State Treasury with respect thereto, and the Securities will rank pari passu in right of payment with all other present and future unsecured obligations of the Republic of Poland, except for such obligations as may be preferred by mandatory provisions of applicable law;

(v) each of the State Treasury and the Republic of Poland is not, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would not be, in violation of or in default under any constitutional or treaty provision, convention, statute, law, regulation, decree, court order or similar authority binding upon the State Treasury of the Republic of Poland, any fiscal agency agreement, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the State Treasury or the Republic of Poland is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound, except for violations and defaults which individually and in the aggregate are not material to the State Treasury or the Republic of Poland taken as a whole or to the holders of the Securities; the issue and sale of the Securities and the performance by the State Treasury of all of the provisions of its obligations under the Securities, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Underwriting Agreement and the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any constitutional or treaty provision, convention, statute, other law, regulation, decree, court order or similar authority binding upon the State Treasury or the Republic of Poland, any fiscal agency agreement, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the State Treasury or the Republic of Poland is a party or by which the State Treasury or the Republic of Poland is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the State Treasury or the Republic of Poland is subject; provided that for purposes of this paragraph all obligations arising prior to 1945 are excluded;

(vi) all authorizations, approvals, waivers or consents of, and all registrations and qualifications with, any court or governmental agency, body or official of the Republic of Poland required for the execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement and the Fiscal Agency Agreement, the issuance of the Securities and for the performance by the State Treasury of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and are in full force and effect and all conditions contained therein (if any) required to be satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date have been duly satisfied, and except for the order of the Minister of Finance described in subsection (ii) of Section 5(i) of the Underwriting Agreement, no authorizations, approvals, consents, waivers, registrations or filings are required under the laws of the Republic of Poland to permit the purchase by the State Treasury of the U.S. dollars needed to pay the principal of and interest on the Securities;

C-30

(vii) other than as set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus and the Time of Sale Information, there are no legal or governmental investigations, actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to my knowledge, threatened or contemplated against or affecting the Republic of Poland which, if determined adversely to the Republic of Poland, could individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial, economic or political condition of the Republic of Poland;

(viii) the descriptions in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus of the constitution, laws, statutes and regulations of the Republic of Poland or any subdivision thereof are accurate and complete in all material respects and fairly present the information purported to be shown;

(ix) the waivers of immunity by the State Treasury contained in the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Securities, the appointment of the process agents in the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Securities and the consent by the State Treasury to the jurisdiction of the courts specified in the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Securities and the provision that the laws of the State of New York shall govern the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Securities are (or, in the case of the Securities, will be, upon due signing, issue and delivery thereof) irrevocably binding on the State Treasury, except as described in the Prospectus under “Enforceability of Judgments”;

(x) except as described in the Prospectus under “Enforceability of Judgments”, provided that the requirements set forth therein are met, and subject to the specific rules regarding execution of judgments against the State Treasury, any judgment against the State Treasury in relation to any of the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the Securities in the courts specified in the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Securities will be recognized in the courts of the Republic of Poland and, upon institution of an ordinary civil action to enforce such judgment, will be enforceable in the Republic of Poland;

(xi) the Underwriting Agreement and the Fiscal Agency Agreement are, and the Securities, upon the due signing, issue and delivery thereof, will be in proper legal form under the laws of the Republic of Poland for the enforcement thereof in the Republic of Poland against the State Treasury and contain no provision which is contrary to the laws of the Republic of Poland or public policy of the Republic of Poland or which would not for any reason be upheld by the courts of the Republic of Poland;

(xii) to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence in the Republic of Poland of any of the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the Securities, it is not necessary that any of the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the Securities or any other document or instrument be registered, recorded or filed with any court or other authority in the Republic of Poland or be notarized or that any documentary, stamp or similar tax, imposition or charge be paid on or in respect of any of the Underwriting Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the Securities (except for court fees and taxes incurred in connection with enforcement proceedings);

C-31

(xiii) the Republic of Poland is a member of the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the European Investment Bank and is eligible to use the general resources of the IMF.

(xiv) except as described in the Prospectus under “Taxation – Polish Tax Considerations” with respect to the possible application of Polish stamp tax, no stamp or similar taxes are payable under the laws of the Republic of Poland in connection with the issuance of the Securities or the execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement or the Fiscal Agency Agreement, and when issued, the 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 of Poland and all payments on the Securities will be made by the State Treasury without withholding or deduction for or on account of any and all taxes, duties or other charges of whatsoever nature (including, without limitation, income taxes) imposed by the Republic of Poland or any subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein having power to tax except to the extent that such Securities or payments will be held or received by persons who are subject to tax for reasons other than merely by holding such Securities or receiving payments thereon, and the Underwriters are not subject to any taxes, duties or other charges imposed by the Republic of Poland or by any subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to payments received by the Underwriters hereunder solely by reason of entering into the Underwriting Agreement or receiving payments hereunder (except where such receipt is in connection with a trade or business carried out in the Republic of Poland);

(xv) the issue of the Securities will not violate any monetary limit prescribed by Polish law including any limit prescribed by the Polish Constitution;

(xvi) the Registration Statement, as amended, any preliminary prospectus supplement, and the Prospectus, and their filing with the Commission, have been duly authorized by the State Treasury and on behalf thereof and the Registration Statement has been duly executed by the State Treasury on behalf of the Republic of Poland; and

(xvii) the appropriate officials in the Ministry of Finance have been apprised of the disclosure standards applicable to the offering described in the Underwriting Agreement and have reviewed the Registration Statement, Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus. Based on such review, the results of which have been discussed with me, I confirm that, although I have not made an independent investigation or verification of the correctness and completeness of the information included in the Registration Statement, Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus, nothing has come to my attention that would lead me to believe that (i) (other than financial or statistical data included therein or omitted therefrom, as to which I express no opinion) the Registration Statement at the Effective Date (including the information deemed to be a part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act) contained any 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, (ii) the Time of Sale Information at each Time of Sale, and on the date hereof, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not

C-32

misleading or (iii) the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, as of its date and the Closing Date, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

The reservations to which this opinion is subject are the following:

(1) This opinion is expressed as to matters of Polish law and no opinion is expressed as to the laws of any other jurisdiction;

(2) I assume the validity of each of the Underwriting Agreement, Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Securities under United States law;

(3) With respect to item (x) above, I express the following opinion: In any proceedings taken in the Republic of Poland for the enforcement of the Documents, the choice of New York law as the governing law thereof will be recognized as valid and binding and a final and conclusive judgment against the State Treasury for the payment of a sum of money rendered by a court in any jurisdiction other than the Republic of Poland in legal proceedings arising out of or in connection with any of the Documents will be recognized by the courts of the Republic of Poland as a basis on which to approve enforcement of the said judgment against the State Treasury or its properties in the Republic of Poland, provided that reciprocity exists between the Republic of Poland and the country of jurisdiction where the foreign judgment was rendered and the relevant requirements set forth in Article 1150 section 1, Items 1 and 2 of the Polish Civil Procedure Code are met;

(4) under the circumstances referred to in item (xii) above, if it is necessary to register the issue of the Securities with the appropriate Polish authority, it shall not affect the effectiveness of the obligations of the State Treasury in connection with the issue of Securities; and

(5) I opine only as to the issues relating to proper legal form of the Documents and the Securities and the compliance thereof with the laws of the Republic of Poland, in each case for the purpose of the enforcement thereof in the Republic of Poland.

Any opinion contained herein, insofar as it expressly relates to any Document or group of Documents, may be relied upon only by the persons to whom this opinion is addressed. This opinion is not to be transmitted to anyone else nor is it to be relied upon by anyone else or used for any other purpose than that specified herein or quoted or referred to in any public document or filed with any one without our express consent. You may, however, provide a copy of this opinion to [— ].

Yours faithfully,

Director of the Legal Department of the Ministry of Finance

2. The Registration Statement, as of its most recent effective date and the Base Prospectus, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement (other than financial or statistical data included therein or omitted therefrom, as to which we express no opinion) appeared on their face to comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act.

4.

Assuming the Fiscal Agency Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto in accordance with applicable requirements of Polish law, the Fiscal Agency Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the State Treasury, enforceable against the State Treasury in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

6. Assuming the Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto in accordance with applicable requirements of Polish law, the Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the State Treasury.

7. Assuming the Securities have been duly authorized by the State Treasury in accordance with applicable requirements of Polish law, the Securities to be delivered on the date hereof, when duly executed, authenticated and issued in accordance with the terms of the Fiscal Agency Agreement, and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement, will have been duly executed, issued and delivered and will constitute valid and binding obligations of the State Treasury enforceable in accordance with their terms and will be entitled to the benefits provided by the Fiscal Agency Agreement, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

C-35

8. The Securities are exempt from the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, under Section 304(a)(6) thereof and no indenture in respect of the Securities need be qualified under such Act.
