10. Indemnification. (a) The Republic agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless the Dealer Manager and each of its 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 are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, in the Offer Materials or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in the Disclosure Package or in any amendment thereof or

supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the 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, 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 Dealer Manager specifically for inclusion therein, it being understood and agreed that the only information furnished by you as Dealer Manager consists of information set forth in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth paragraphs under the caption “Plan of Distribution” of the Prospectus Supplement.

(b) The Dealer Manager agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Republic and each of 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 (as incurred) to which any of them may become subject, insofar as such losses, liabilities, costs, claims, actions, demands, damages or expenses are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof or in the Disclosure Package and Offer Materials, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the reliance upon or in conformity with written information furnished to the Republic by or on behalf of the Dealer Manager specifically for use in the preparation of the documents referred to in paragraph (a) above. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Dealer Manager may otherwise have.

(c) 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 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 Dealer Manager. 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 includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(d) 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 Dealer Manager, 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 Dealer Manager, on the other hand, in such proportions so that the Dealer Manager is responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that Total Compensation bears to the aggregate principal amount of New Bonds issued pursuant to the Offers and Local Eligible Bonds and Eligible Bonds acquired by the Republic pursuant to the Offers, 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 Dealer Manager shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the Total Compensation. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each director, officer, employee and controlling person of the Dealer Manager 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 Dealer Manager 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. Termination and Survival of Certain Provisions. (a) This Agreement may be terminated (i) by you (A) upon a withdrawal you as Dealer Manager under the terms hereof or (B) if the Republic determines to terminate or withdraw the U.S. Offer prior to consummation thereof or (ii) by the Republic if it determines to terminate or withdraw the U.S. Offer prior to consummation thereof.

(b) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Section 10 hereof, the expense reimbursement agreements contained in Section 6 hereof, the fee agreement contained in Section 5 hereof (to the extent that the transactions contemplated hereby have been consummated) and the representations and warranties of the Republic set forth in this Agreement

shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any failure to commence, or the withdrawal, rescission, termination or consummation of, the U.S. Offer or the termination or assignment of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified party and (iii) the completion of your services hereunder.

12. Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered personally or sent by mail or facsimile transmission, to the parties hereto as follows:

13. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Sovereign Immunities. (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

(b) 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, 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 Commencement Date at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, 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 12 hereof.

(c) Nothing in this Section 13 shall affect the right of the Dealer Manager to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of the Dealer Manager to bring any action or proceeding against the Republic or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions.

(d) 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. 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Republic agrees that the waivers set forth in this subsection (d) 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.

(e) 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 posting of any bond or the furnishing, directly or indirectly, of any other security.

(f) Any action arising out of or based on this Agreement may be instituted by the Dealer Manager in any competent court in the Republic.

14. Judgment Currency. In respect of any judgment or order given or made for any amount due hereunder that is expressed and paid in a currency (the “judgment currency”) other than U.S. dollars, the Republic will indemnify the Dealer Manager against any loss incurred by the Dealer Manager as a result of any variation as between (a) the rate of exchange at which the U.S. dollar amount is converted into the judgment currency for the purpose of such judgment or order and (b) the rate of exchange at which the Dealer Manager is able to purchase U.S. dollars with the amount of judgment currency actually received by the Dealer Manager on the business day following the receipt of payment on such judgment or order. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Republic and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The

term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into U.S. dollars.

15. Severability. If any provision hereof shall be determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such determination shall not affect any other provision hereof, which shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the U.S. Offer and the agreements contained herein are not affected in any manner adverse to any party.

16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

17. Binding Effect. This Agreement, including any right to indemnity or contribution hereunder, shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Republic, you and the other indemnified parties, and each of your and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement is intended, or shall be construed, to give to any other person or entity any right hereunder or by virtue hereof.

18. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

as the Dealer Manager

named in the Dealer Manager Agreement

referred to below

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to Section 9(f) of the Dealer Manager Agreement dated as of June [ ], 2008 (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”) between República Oriental del Uruguay (the “Republic”) and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as the Dealer Manager named in the Dealer Manager Agreement, relating to the Republic’s offer to holders of the outstanding bonds listed in Annex A hereto (collectively, the “Eligible Bonds”) of the Republic who represent that they are U.S. Persons (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement) to exchange the Eligible Bonds for an unlimited amount of U.S. Dollar denominated 7.625% Bonds due 2036 (the “2036 Bonds”) or tender certain Eligible Bonds for cash. The 2036 Bonds will be issued pursuant to an Indenture dated May 29, 2003, as amended or supplemented through the date hereof (the “Indenture”), among the Republic, Banco Central, as financial agent, and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Dealer Manager Agreement and the Indenture (together, the “Agreements”) and the 2036 Bonds are more fully described in the Registration Statement and Offer Materials prepared by the Republic in connection with the U.S. Offer. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Dealer Manager Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

I have acted in my capacity as counsel to the Republic in connection with the Agreements and the U.S. Offer. I or attorneys on my staff am or are familiar with the organization and affairs of the Republic, and its legal affairs are encompassed by my duties as counsel to the Republic. In connection with this opinion I have examined:

	(a)	an executed copy of the Dealer Manager Agreement;
	(b)	the Registration Statement;
	(c)	the Offer Materials;
	(d)	the Indenture; and

A-I-7

(e)

the Constitution of the Republic, the Decrees and the Resolutions;

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 (and, in the case of the Dealer Manager Agreement, executed and delivered) by the Republic, the Dealer Manager 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 and to perform its obligations under 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 Dealer Manager Agreement has not been terminated pursuant to Section 11 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 Banco Central) is a party or by which it is bound.

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

1. The Republic has full power and authority to execute and deliver the Agreements and all 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 the 2036 Bonds and to perform the terms thereof and to exchange Eligible Bonds for 2036 Bonds.

2. The exchange of Eligible Bonds for 2036 Bonds, the acquisition of Eligible Bonds for cash, the issuance of the 2036 Bonds and the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the 2036 Bonds by the Republic and all other documents to be executed and delivered by the Republic thereunder and the performance of its obligations thereunder and the execution of the Indenture by Banco Central in its capacity as financial agent of the Republic have been duly authorized by the Republic, and the Dealer Manager Agreement constitutes, and upon due execution, authentication, issuance and delivery, the 2036 Bonds will, and the Indenture does, constitute, legal, valid and binding obligations of the Republic in accordance with their respective terms, and will conform in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Prospectus.

3. The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement, the issuance, offer and delivery of the 2036 Bonds and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by the Agreements (and compliance with the terms thereof) and the exchange of Eligible Bonds for 2036 Bonds do not and will 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.

4. 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 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, exchange, delivery and performance of the 2036 Bonds as contemplated herein and in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Offer Materials, 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 or for the authorization by the Republic or Banco Central to execute the Indenture as financial agent of the Republic, except the Decrees that 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 Settlement Date.

5. Other than as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Offer Materials, there are no pending or, to the best of my knowledge 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 materially adversely affect 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 Dealer Manager Agreement or the Indenture, or which are otherwise material in the context of the issue of the 2036 Bonds.

6. The execution and delivery and performance of the Agreement, the Indenture and the other documents referred to therein, and the issuance and exchange of the 2036 Bonds 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 Offer Materials, 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

A-I-3

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, waiver of inconvenient forum and appointment of process agent by the Republic contained in Section 13 of the Dealer Manager Agreement, the consent by the Republic to the jurisdiction of the courts specified in such Section and the provisions in the Dealer Manager Agreement that the law of the State of New York shall govern the Dealer Manager Agreement are irrevocably binding on the Republic. The waiver of immunity, waiver of inconvenient forum and appointment of process agent by the Republic contained in Section 9.7 of the Indenture and paragraph 15 of the terms and conditions of the 2036 Bonds (assuming they are issued substantially in the form bonds of the same series were initially issued), the consent by the Republic to the jurisdiction of the courts specified in such Section and paragraph and the provisions in such Section and paragraph that the law of the State of New York shall govern the Indenture and the 2036 Bonds will be irrevocably binding on the Republic upon due execution and delivery of the Indenture and the 2036 Bonds.

7. After being translated into Spanish by an official translator, the Dealer Manager Agreement, and when duly executed and delivered the 2036 Bonds (assuming they are issued substantially in the form bonds of the same series were initially issued), will be in proper legal form under the laws of the Republic for the enforcement thereof in the Republic against the Republic.

8. The Indenture is in proper legal form under the laws of the Republic for the enforcement thereof in the Republic against the Republic.

9. 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 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).

10. The 2036 Bonds (assuming they are issued substantially in the form bonds of the same series were initially issued), when duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered pursuant to the Invitation and the Indenture, will be the direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations of the Republic; the full faith and credit of the Republic will be pledged for the due and punctual payment of the principal of, interest on, and any additional amount required to be paid with respect to the 2036 Bonds and the performance of the covenants therein contained; the 2036 Bonds will rank pari passu in priority of payment and in all other respects with all other Foreign Debt (as defined in the terms and conditions of the 2036 Bonds) of the Republic.

11. Neither the Information Agent nor the Exchange Agents are subject to any taxes, duties or other governmental charges imposed by the Republic or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to payments received by the Information Agent or the Exchange Agents, as contemplated in the Agency Agreements.

X-X-0

00. When issued, the 2036 Bonds (assuming they are issued substantially in the form bonds of the same series were initially issued) 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 2036 Bonds or payments will be held or received by persons who are subject to tax for reasons other than the mere holding of such 2036 Bonds or receiving payments thereon.

13. The Dealer Manager is 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 Dealer Manager, as contemplated in the Dealer Manager Agreement.

14. It is not necessary under the laws of the Republic that the Dealer Manager be licensed, qualified or entitled to carry on business in the Republic by reason of the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Agreement, and the Dealer Manager 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 Agreement.

15. All statements in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and Offer Materials with respect to the laws of the Republic are true and correct as of the date hereof and the information stated in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and Offer Materials 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.

16. The statements under the captions “Description of the Securities” and “Taxation” in the Basic Prospectus and under the captions “Description of the New 2036 Global Bonds” and “Taxation” in the Prospectus Supplement 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.

17. Based upon due inquiry of officials of the Republic involved in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, and the Offer Materials, I believe that the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Offer Materials (except for financial information and other financial data contained or incorporated therein, as to which I express no belief), did not and do not, as of the date hereof 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 existing at such dates, not misleading.

18. 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 and the Offer Materials.

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 Dealer Manager under the Dealer Manager Agreement or as Trustee under the Indenture, as applicable, and is solely for

A-I-5

your benefit as such. This opinion letter is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose.

Very truly yours,

FORM OF OPINION OF XXXXXX XXXXXXXX

June [ ], 2008

Citigroup Global Markets Inc.

Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000

Xxxxxx Xxxxxx

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special New York counsel to República Oriental del Uruguay (the “Republic”) in connection with the Republic’s invitation (the “Invitation”) to holders of the outstanding bonds listed in Annex A hereto (collectively, the “Eligible Bonds”) of the Republic who represent that they are U.S. Persons (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement (as defined below)) to exchange such Eligible Bonds for the Republic’s 7.625% Bonds due 2036 (the “2036 Bonds”) and for certain Eligible Bonds for cash. The 2036 Bonds are to be issued pursuant to a registration statement (No. 333-151351) initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under Schedule B of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”) among the Republic, Banco Central del Uruguay, as the Republic’s financial agent (“Banco Central”), and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”), the form of which is incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement referred to below. Such registration statement, as of its most recent effective date, June o, 2008, but excluding the documents incorporated by reference therein, is called the “Registration Statement;” the related prospectus dated June 20, 2008, included therein, is herein called the “Base Prospectus;” and the related prospectus supplement, as first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, but excluding the documents incorporated by reference therein, is herein called the “Prospectus Supplement.” This opinion letter is furnished to you pursuant to Section 9(g) of the dealer manager agreement dated as of June 24, 2008 (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”) between the Republic and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as Dealer Manager. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Dealer Manager Agreement.

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

	(a)	an executed copy of the Dealer Manager Agreement;
	(b)	the Registration Statement, and the documents incorporated by reference therein;

(c)

the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, and the documents incorporated by reference therein;

A-II-5

(d)

an executed copy of the Indenture;

(e)

the form of the 2036 Bonds as set forth in Exhibit 99 to Amendment No. 8 to the Republic’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, as filed with the Commission on January 18, 2007; and

(f)

the documents delivered to you by the Republic on the date hereof pursuant to the Dealer Manager 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, officers and representatives 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 Dealer Manager Agreement) and (iii) that the 2036 Bonds will conform to the forms thereof that we have reviewed..

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

1. The Dealer Manager 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 each of the Republic and Banco Central under the law of the State of New York and is a valid, binding and enforceable agreement of each of the Republic and Banco Central.

3. The 2036 Bonds, when duly executed and delivered by the Republic under the law of the State of New York, and when duly authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered in exchange for Eligible Bonds in the manner contemplated by the Prospectus Supplement, will be valid and binding obligations of the Republic and entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

4. The statements set forth under the heading “Description of the Securities” in the Base Prospectus and “Description of the New Global 2036 Bonds” in the Prospectus Supplement, taken together, insofar as such statements purport to summarize certain provisions of the 2036 Bonds and the Indenture, provide a fair summary of such provisions, and the statements made in the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement under the heading “Taxation,” taken together, insofar as such statements purport to summarize certain United States federal income tax consequences of an investment in the 2036 Bonds pursuant to the Invitation, constitute a fair summary of the principal U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the 2036 Bonds.

A-II-2

5. The making of the Invitation, the issuance and sale of the 2036 Bonds pursuant to the Invitation, and the performance by the Republic of its obligations under the Dealer Manager Agreement, do 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 13(b) of the Dealer Manager Agreement and Section 9.7(b) of the Indenture (i) validly and irrevocably submitted to the personal jurisdiction of any New York State or United States federal court located in The City of New York, in any action in connection with the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Indenture and the 2036 Bonds, (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, validly and irrevocably appointed CT Corporation System as its authorized agent but solely for the purposes and subject to the limitations described in Section 13(b) of the Dealer Manager Agreement and Section 9.7(b) of the Indenture and (iii) validly and irrevocably waived the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding and any right to jurisdiction in such action or proceeding on account of the place of residence or domicile of the Republic or Banco Central, as the case may be.

Insofar as the foregoing opinions relate to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any agreement or obligation of the Republic or Banco Central, (i) we have assumed that the Republic, Banco Central 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 or Banco Central regarding matters of the federal law of the United States or the law of the State of New York that in our experience would normally 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 the provisions of the 2036 Bonds providing for the indemnity by one party to another party thereto against any loss in obtaining the currency due to such other party from a court judgment in another currency.

The enforceability in the United States of the waiver by the Republic of its immunities from court jurisdiction and from legal process, as set forth in Section 13(d) of the Dealer Manager Agreement and Section 9.7(d) of the Indenture is subject to the limitations imposed 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 13(b) of the Dealer Manager Agreement and Section 9.7(b) of the Indenture 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 Dealer Manager Agreement, the Indenture or the 2036 Bonds, respectively, are

A-II-3

(notwithstanding the waivers in Section 13(b) of the Dealer Manager Agreement and Section 9.7(b) of the Indenture) 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 Dealer Manager, solely for your benefit in connection with the Invitation. 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. We assume no obligation to advise you or any other person, or 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,

XXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXX & XXXXXXXX LLP
