index at the Settlement Date, over 2.3121, the value of the UI
index at the time of the issuance of the 2028 UI Bonds, and (iii)
the Adjustment UI Factor for the 2030 UI Bonds would be

index at the Settlement Date, over 1.8133, the value of the UI
index at the time of the issuance of the 2030 UI Bonds. The
Purchase Price of the Old Bonds shall be converted into U.S.
dollars at an exchange rate of Ps. 42.816 to US$1.00, which
represents the average, interbank exchange rate for the conversion
of Uruguayan pesos into U.S. dollars as published by Banco Central
and which is available on Bloomberg by typing "USDUYU CBUY
<CRNCY> HP <GO>" as the bid-side rate for the period of
twenty business days ending one business day prior to the date of
the Offer Document.

adjusted by the Adjustment UI Factor is Ps. 34,425,783,794 as of
the date hereof.

cancellation of your tender and in you becoming liable for any
damages resulting from that failure, (ii) in the case of preferred
tenders (a) in the cancellation of any allocation of Uruguay's
issuance of its new Peso-denominated Global UI Bonds (the "New
Bonds") in the New Bonds Offering (as defined below) in respect of
your related indication of interest and/or (b) in the cancellation
of your tender and in your remaining obligated to purchase your
allocation of New Bonds in respect of your related indication of
interest and/or (iii) in the delivery of a buy-in notice for the
purchase of such Old Bonds, executed in accordance with customary
brokerage practices for corporate fixed income securities. Any
holder whose tender is cancelled will not receive the purchase
price or accrued interest.
All Old Bonds that are tendered pursuant to tender orders placed
through a Dealer Manager and are accepted as instructed by Uruguay
will be purchased by the Billing and Delivering Bank in such
amounts as Uruguay shall determine and subject to the terms and
conditions of the Offer to Purchase. Only the Billing and
Delivering Bank will be liable for the payment of the purchase
price and accrued interest for Old Bonds validly tendered and
accepted by Uruguay. Uruguay will not be liable under any
circumstances for the payment of the purchase price and accrued
interest for any Old Bonds tendered in the Tender Offer by any
holder. The Billing and Delivery Bank shall only have the
obligation to sell to Uruguay the Old Bonds validly tendered and
accepted for purchase that the Billing and Delivery Bank has
actually purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer on the Settlement
Date. Tender orders that are not for permitted tender amounts have
not been accepted.
Subject to the conditions to settlement of the Tender Offer, Old
Bonds accepted for purchase will be settled on a delivery versus
payment basis solely with the Billing and Delivering Bank on the
Settlement Date, in accordance with customary brokerage practices
for corporate fixed income securities.
