The Bonds contain "collective action clauses" under which Uruguay may amend certain key terms of the Bonds, including the maturity
date, interest rate and other terms, with the consent of less than all of the holder of the Bonds. See "Description of the Bonds--Meetings,

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
A judgment obtained against Uruguay in a foreign court can be enforced in the courts of Uruguay, if such
judgment is ratified by the Uruguayan Supreme Court. Based on existing law, the Uruguayan Supreme Court will
ratify such a judgment:
(a) if there exists a treaty with the country where such judgment was issued (no such treaty exists at the
present time between Uruguay and the United States); or
(b) if such judgment:
complies with all formalities required for the enforceability thereof under the laws of the country
where it was issued;
has been translated into Spanish, together with related documents, and satisfies the authentication
requirements of Uruguayan law;
was issued by a competent court after valid service of process upon the parties to the action;
was issued after an opportunity was given to the defendant to present its defense;
is not subject to further appeal; and
is not against Uruguayan public policy.
As of the date of this Offering memorandum, Congress is debating a draft bill containing the annual report
on the execution of the 2015-2019 budget for fiscal year 2016, which also includes a provision that expressly
enables the Executive Power to either use available operating or investment expenses to pay judgments rendered
against Uruguay for amounts in excess of 75,000,000 UIs (approximately U.S.$ 9,527,690) although the budget in
effect at the time the judgment becomes enforceable may not include a specific expense allocation for that purpose
or, alternatively, include a specific budgetary allocation in the budget submitted to Congress for the following fiscal
year. Upon approval of the budget law including such allocation, payment shall be made within the following year.

SCHEDULED DATA DISSEMINATION
On February 18, 2004, Uruguay became the 56th subscriber to the International Monetary Fund's Special
Data Dissemination Standard or SDDS, which is designed to improve the timeliness and quality of information of
subscribing member countries. The SDDS requires subscribing member countries to provide schedules indicating, in
advance, the date on which data will be released or the so-called "Advance Release Calendar." For Uruguay, precise
dates or "no-later-than-dates" for the release of data under the SDDS are disseminated in advance through the
Advance Release Calendar, which is published on the Internet under the International Monetary Fund's
Dissemination Standards Bulletin Board. Summary methodologies of all metadata to enhance transparency of
statistical compilation are also provided on the Internet under the International Monetary Fund's Dissemination
Standards Bulletin Board. The Internet website is located at
http://dsbb.imf.org/Pages/SDDS/CtyCtgList.aspx?ctycode=URY. Neither the government nor any Initial Purchaser
acting on behalf of Uruguay in connection with this offering memorandum accept any responsibility for information
included on that website, and its contents are not intended to be incorporated by reference into this offering
memorandum.
DEFINED TERMS AND CONVENTIONS
Terms such as "we," "us" and "our" generally refer to Uruguay, unless the context otherwise requires. All
references in this document to the "government" are to the government of Uruguay and references to the "central
government" are to the central government of Uruguay (which includes governmental agencies and subdivisions and
excludes financial and non-financial public sector institutions).
References herein to "US$," "$," "U.S. dollars" or "dollars" are to United States dollars. References herein
to "Uruguayan pesos," "pesos," or "Ps." are to the lawful currency of Uruguay. Unless otherwise stated, Uruguay
has converted historical amounts translated into U.S. dollars or pesos at historical annual average exchange rates.
Translations of pesos to dollars have been made for the convenience of the reader only and should not be construed
as a representation that the amounts in question have been, could have been or could be converted into dollars at any
particular rate or at all. References herein to "UIs" are to Unidades Indexadas. UIs are inflation-indexed monetary
units. The UI is calculated by the National Institute of Statistics (Instituto Nacional de Estadística or INE) as
provided and published monthly in advance for each day from the 6th day of each month to the 5th day of the
following month by INE and Banco Central del Uruguay. The UI changes on a daily basis to reflect changes in the
consumer price index (Indice de Precios al Consumo or IPC), which is measured by the INE. The UI for each day is
set in advance based on changes in previous months' inflation.
Uruguayan Peso Information
Principal and interest payments in respect of the Bonds will be in U.S. dollars converted from Uruguayan
pesos based upon the Average Transfer Exchange Rate at the time the relevant payment amount is determined. The
Average Transfer Exchange Rate is the average, for the period of twenty business days ending two business days
prior to any interest or principal payment date, of the bid-side interbank exchange rate for the conversion of
Uruguayan pesos into U.S. dollars as published by Banco Central del Uruguay ("Banco Central") and which is
available on Bloomberg by typing "USDUYU CBUY <Curncy> HP <GO>", or, in the absence of the availability of
such information, the rate at which Uruguayan pesos can be converted into U.S. dollars as determined by polling
certain banks located in Montevideo, Uruguay. See "Description of the Bonds."
On September 6, 2017 Banco Central's published peso/U.S. dollar bid-side exchange rate was Ps.28.795
per US$1.00.
The following table shows the high, low, average and period-end peso/U.S. dollar exchange rates for each

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This offering memorandum and the documents incorporated by reference herein may contain forward-
looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts, including statements about
Uruguay's beliefs and expectations. These statements are based on current plans, estimates and projections, and
therefore you should not place undue reliance on them. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they
are made. Uruguay undertakes no obligation to update any of them in light of new information or future events.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Uruguay cautions you that a number
of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statement. Such factors include, but are not limited to:
adverse external factors, such as changes in international prices, high international interest rates and
recession or low economic growth in Uruguay's trading partners. Changes in international prices and
high international interest rates could increase Uruguay's current account deficit and budgetary
expenditures. Recession or low economic growth in Uruguay's trading partners could decrease exports
(including manufactured goods) from Uruguay, reduce tourism to Uruguay, induce a contraction of the
Uruguayan economy and, indirectly, reduce tax revenues and other public sector revenues and
adversely affect the country's fiscal accounts;
adverse domestic factors, such as a decline in foreign direct and portfolio investment, increases in
domestic inflation, high domestic interest rates and exchange rate volatility and a further deterioration
in the health of the domestic banking system. These factors could lead to lower economic growth or a
decrease in Uruguay's international reserves; and
other adverse factors, such as climatic or political events and international hostilities.
