The Issuer represents and warrants to the Underwriters that:

The Issuer meets the requirements for use of Schedule B under the Securities Act. The Issuer is a “seasoned foreign government” and has filed with the Commission the Registration Statement under the Securities Act that has been declared effective by the Commission and copies of which have heretofore been delivered to the Underwriter. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act has been initiated or, to the Issuer’s knowledge, threatened by the Commission.

(i) At the time of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the effectiveness of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, when the Prospectus is first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations, when any supplement to or amendment of the Prospectus is filed with the Commission, at the Applicable Time and at the Closing Date, the Registration Statement, complied or will comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations and did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact and did not and will not omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) when any related Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus was first filed with the Commission (whether filed as part of the Registration Statement for the registration of the Securities or any amendment thereto or pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations) and at the Closing Date, such Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations and did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact and did not omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (iii) as of the Applicable Time and at the Closing Date, neither (A) the General Disclosure Package, nor (B) any individual Limited Use Free Writing Prospectus, when considered together with the General Disclosure Package, included or will include, respectively, any untrue statement of a material

fact or omitted or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The documents incorporated, or to be incorporated, by reference in the Prospectus, at the time filed with the Commission conformed or will conform, in all respects to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) or the Securities Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. No representation and warranty is made in this subsection (b), however, with respect to any information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Limited Use Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to the Underwriters furnished in writing to the Issuer by the Underwriters specifically for use therein (“Underwriters’ Information”).

Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the Offering or until any earlier date that the Issuer notified or notifies the Underwriter, did not, does not and will not include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus.

The Issuer has not, directly or indirectly, distributed and will not distribute any offering material in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities other than any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus and other materials, if any, permitted under the Securities Act and consistent with Section 6(f) below. The Issuer will file with the Commission all Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses in the time required under Rule 433(d) of the Rules and Regulations.

The Issuer is not an “ineligible issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations), including, without limitation, for purposes of Rules 164 and 433 of the Rules and Regulations with respect to the offering of the Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement.

Subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, except as set forth in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there has been no material adverse change or any development involving a prospective material adverse change in the condition (economic, fiscal or financial) of Jamaica.

The Issuer has full power and authority through its officials (who have been duly authorized) to execute and deliver each of this Agreement and the Indenture (together, the “Agreements”) and all other documents and instruments to be executed and delivered by it hereunder and thereunder, to issue the Securities, to undertake and to perform the obligations to be incurred by it as provided herein or therein, and to perform and observe the provisions hereof and thereof.

The execution, delivery and performance by the Issuer of the Agreements and all other documents and instruments to be executed and delivered by it hereunder and thereunder, and the issuance of the Securities have been, or as of the Closing Date will have been, duly authorized by all necessary governmental or other action.

The Securities to be sold by the Issuer pursuant to the Prospectus have been duly authorized by the Issuer and, when duly executed, issued and delivered by the Issuer against payment therefor and authenticated pursuant to the Indenture, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to legal and equitable limitations relating to or affecting enforceability applicable generally to obligations of sovereigns; and the Securities conform in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Prospectus.

Each of the Agreements has been duly authorized by the Issuer and, when duly executed and delivered by the Issuer and the other parties thereto, will constitute the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Issuer, and will be enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to legal and equitable limitations relating to or affecting enforceability applicable generally to obligations of sovereigns; and each of the Agreements conforms in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Prospectus.

There is no constitutional provision, nor any provision of any treaty, convention, statute, law, regulation, decree, court order or similar authority binding upon the Issuer, nor any provision of any contract, agreement or instrument to which the Issuer is a party, that would be contravened or breached, or under which a default would arise or a moratorium in respect of any obligations of the Issuer would be effected, as a result of the execution and delivery of any of the Agreements, or any other document or instrument to be executed and delivered by the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, the issue of the Securities as contemplated herein and in the Prospectus or as a result of the performance or observance by the Issuer of any of the terms of the Agreements, the Securities or any such document or instrument to be executed or delivered hereunder and thereunder; which contravention, breach or default would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the financial, economic or fiscal condition of the Issuer or its ability to perform its obligations under the Agreements or the Securities or which is otherwise material to the rights of the holders of the Securities or which would give rise to any liability on the part of the Underwriter.

No consent, approval (including exchange control approval), authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or Governmental Agency or other regulatory body in Jamaica is required for (i) the due execution, delivery and performance by the Issuer of any of the Agreements, any of the other documents and instruments to be executed and delivered by the Issuer hereunder and thereunder, (ii) the validity or enforceability against the Issuer of any of the Agreements, any such document or instrument to be executed and delivered by it hereunder and thereunder or the Securities or (iii) the issue, sale, delivery or

admission for trading on the Euro MTF, the alternative market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, of the Securities or for the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by the Agreements or the Securities other than the directions, orders, notices and declarations made by the minister with responsibility for finance (the “Minister of Finance and Planning”) as set forth in Section 7(i) of this Agreement, all of which have been obtained and are in full force and effect or will be obtained on or prior to the Closing Date and will be in full force and effect on the Closing Date. The issuance of the Securities and the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not exceed the limitation on borrowing contained in, or otherwise violate, the Public Debt Management Act, 2012 of Jamaica. For purposes of this Agreement, “Governmental Agency” means each agency, department, ministry, authority, statutory corporation or other statutory body or juridical entity of the Issuer or any political subdivision thereof.

The actual and estimated expenditures for the fiscal years ended 2014 and 2015, respectively, incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto have been prepared in good faith and are based upon assumptions which, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, are reasonable.

It is not necessary for the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility of evidence of any Agreement or the Securities that they be filed, recorded or enrolled with any court or authority in Jamaica or that a stamp, registration or similar tax in Jamaica be paid on or in relation to them once the Minister of Finance and Planning remits the stamp duty on the Agreements and the Securities pursuant to section 80B of the Stamp Duty Act of Jamaica, which remission will be obtained on or prior to the Closing Date and will be in full force and effect on the Closing Date, nor will it be necessary for the Underwriters or the parties to the Indenture to register themselves for the purpose of taking any legal or other measures to enforce any Agreement or the Securities in Jamaica.

This Agreement, the Indenture and the Securities are in proper legal form under the laws of Jamaica for the enforcement thereof in Jamaica against the Issuer.

Neither the execution, delivery and performance of each of the Agreements nor the issuance of the Securities will result in the creation of any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Issuer’s properties or revenues which does or will secure or provide for the payment of Debt of any Person. For purposes of this Agreement, “Debt” means, for any Person, the following (whether outstanding on the date of this Agreement or at any time thereafter): (i) all indebtedness of such Person for borrowed money, or for the deferred purchase price of property or services if and to the extent that the obligation to pay such purchase price is evidenced by an instrument, (ii) all reimbursement obligations of such Person under or in respect of letters of credit or banker’s acceptances, (iii) all obligations of such Person to repay deposits with or advances to such Person, (iv) all obligations of such Person (other than those specified in clauses (i) and (ii) above) evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments, and (v) all direct or indirect

guarantees, endorsements and similar obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Person to purchase or otherwise acquire, or otherwise to assure a creditor against loss in respect of, indebtedness or obligations of any other Person specified in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above; “Lien” means any lien (other than any lien arising by operation of law), pledge, mortgage, security interest, deed of trust, charge or other encumbrance on or with respect to, or any preferential arrangement having the practical effect of constituting a security interest with respect to the payment of any obligation with or from the proceeds of, any asset or revenues of any kind; “Person” means an individual, corporation, partnership, association, joint stock issuer, joint venture, trust, unincorporated organization or any other juridical entity or a sovereign state or government or any agency or political subdivision thereof.

No event has occurred or circumstance arisen that, had the Securities been issued on the date hereof, might (whether or not with the giving of notice and/or the passage of time and/or the fulfillment of any other requirement) constitute an Event of Default.

The Issuer’s obligations under the Agreements and the Securities are commercial in nature and are subject to civil and commercial law. The execution and performance of the Agreements and the issuance of the Securities by the Issuer constitute private and commercial acts. The waiver of immunity by the Issuer contained in this Agreement, the Securities and in the Indenture and the appointment of the Process Agent in this Agreement, the Securities and in the Indenture, the consents by the Issuer to the jurisdiction of the courts specified in this Agreement, the Securities and in the Indenture and the provisions that the law of the State of New York shall govern this Agreement, the Securities and the Indenture are irrevocably binding on the Issuer.

There is no pending or, to the knowledge of the Issuer after reasonable inquiry, threatened legal action or proceeding affecting the Issuer, other than the proceedings referred to in, or incorporated by reference into, the Prospectus that (i) is reasonably likely individually or in the aggregate to have a material adverse effect on the economic, fiscal or financial condition of the Issuer or (ii) purports to affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the Agreements or the Securities.

The obligations of the Issuer under the Securities are or will at all times on and following the Closing Date be supported by the full faith and credit of Jamaica and are or will at all times on and following the Closing Date be general, direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer that will rank without preference among themselves and equally with all other present and future general, direct, unsecured and unsubordinated External Indebtedness of the Issuer. It is understood that this provision shall not be construed so as to require the Issuer to make payments under any debt securities ratably with payments being made under any other public external indebtedness.

The Issuer is a member of, and eligible to use the general resources of, the International Monetary Fund.

There is no income, stamp or other tax, levy, impost, deduction or other charge imposed or levied (whether by withholding or otherwise) by the Issuer or any Governmental Agency or other Jamaican governmental, revenue or taxing authority or agency on or by virtue of the execution, delivery or performance by the Issuer of any Agreement, any of the other documents or instruments to be executed and delivered by the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, the issuance or delivery of the Securities, the enforcement hereof or thereof against the Issuer, or any payment to be made by the Issuer pursuant hereto or thereto other than pursuant to the Income Tax Act of Jamaica, the Transfer Tax Act of Jamaica, and the Stamp Duty Act of Jamaica. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Issuer will obtain from the Minister of Finance and Planning an Order made under section 12(m) of the Income Tax Act of Jamaica exempting income tax on all interest and Additional Amounts paid under the Securities (other than payments to residents of Jamaica who own or hold the Securities directly or indirectly or beneficially), a Notice under section 80B of the Stamp Duty Act of Jamaica remitting stamp duty on the Agreements and the Securities and on transfers of the Securities or of beneficial interests in the Securities, and a Notice under section 46 of the Transfer Tax Act of Jamaica remitting transfer tax on transfers of the Securities or of beneficial interests in the Securities, and the Issuer will obtain from the Commissioner of Taxpayer Audit and Assessment written authority under the Income Tax Act of Jamaica to pay all interest and Additional Amounts under the Securities without deducting therefrom any sum on account of income tax (other than to residents of Jamaica who own or hold the Securities directly or indirectly or beneficially), each of which shall be in full force and effect on the Closing Date.

Neither the Issuer nor any of its Affiliates has taken, nor will take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or result in, or which constitutes or which might reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Securities to facilitate their sale or resale.

There are no contracts or other documents that are required to be described in the Prospectus or filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement by the Securities Act or by the Rules and Regulations and which have not been so described or filed.

Neither the Issuer nor any person acting on its behalf has engaged or will engage in any “directed selling efforts” with respect to the Securities being offered and sold in an “offshore transaction” in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act, except no representation, warranty or agreement is made by the Issuer in this paragraph with respect to the Underwriters. Terms used in this paragraph have the respective meanings given to them in Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Issuer is in all material respects in compliance with all applicable financial record keeping, reporting requirements and anti-money laundering laws and

regulations to which it is subject and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Issuer with respect to money laundering laws is pending or, to the best of the Issuer’s knowledge, threatened or contemplated.

Neither the Issuer nor, to the knowledge of the Issuer, any representative, public officer, employee or any person with actual authority to act on behalf of the Issuer is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions (including any administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department, the Bureau of Industry and Security of the U.S. Department of Commerce or the U.S. Department of State), the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, the United Kingdom (including sanctions administered or controlled by Her Majesty’s Treasury), or other relevant sanctions authority (collectively, “Sanctions”). The Issuer will not, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of the Offering, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any state-owned entity, joint venture partner or other person, (i) to fund any activities of or business with any person that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of Sanctions, or is in the Crimea Region, Syria, Burma/Myanmar, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan or in any other country or territory, that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of comprehensive Sanctions (collectively, “Sanctioned Countries” and each, a “Sanctioned Country”), or (ii) in any other manner that is likely to result in a violation by any person (including any person participating in the offering, whether as underwriter, advisor, investor or otherwise) of Sanctions.

Neither the Issuer nor, to the knowledge of the Issuer, any representative, public officer, agent, employee or affiliated entity of the Issuer, is, or is a person that is, or is 50% or more owned (individually or in the aggregate) by a person that is: (i) the subject of any Sanctions; or (ii) located, organized or resident in a country or territory that is, or whose government is a Sanctioned Country.

Except as has been disclosed to the Underwriters, the Issuer has not engaged with any dealings or transactions with or for the benefit of a Sanctioned Person, or with a Sanctioned Country, in the preceding 3 years.

Neither the Issuer nor, to the knowledge of the Issuer, any representative, public officer, employee or person with actual authority to act on behalf of the Issuer is aware of or has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation by such persons of any applicable provision of any anti-corruption law (including, but not limited to, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder or the U.K. Bribery Act 2010); and prohibition of noncompliance with any applicable provisions of any anti-corruption law is covered by the codes of conduct or other procedures instituted and maintained by the Issuer and its affiliated entities.

The Issuer covenants and agrees with each Underwriter as follows:

The Issuer will notify you (and, if requested by you, will confirm such notice in writing) (i) when the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment of or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for any additional information, (iii) of the mailing or the delivery to the Commission for filing of any amendment of or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or of the initiation, or the threatening, of any proceedings therefor or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act, (v) of the receipt of any comments from the Commission and (vi) of the receipt by the Issuer of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose. If the Commission shall propose or enter a stop order at any time, the Issuer will make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and, if issued, to obtain the lifting of such order as soon as possible.

The Issuer will (i) prepare and timely file with the Commission under Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act a Prospectus in a form approved by the Underwriter, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, containing information previously omitted at the time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement in reliance on Rules 430A, 430B or 430C of the Rules and Regulations and (ii) not file any amendment to the Registration Statement or distribute an amendment or supplement to the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or document incorporated by reference therein of which the Underwriters shall not previously have been advised and furnished with a copy or to which the Underwriters shall have reasonably objected in writing or which is not in compliance with the Rules and Regulations.

The Issuer will (i) not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations) required to be filed by the Issuer with the Commission under Rule 433 of the Rules and Regulations unless the Underwriters approve its use in writing prior to first use (each, a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus”); provided that the prior written consent of the Underwriters hereto shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus(es) included in Schedule II hereto, (ii) treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, (iii) comply with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 under the Securities Act applicable to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including the requirements relating to concurrent or prior delivery of a prospectus, timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping and (iv) not take any action that would result in the Underwriters or the Issuer being required to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Rules and Regulations a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Underwriters that the Underwriters otherwise would not have been required to file thereunder.

The Issuer will file the term sheet attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Final Term Sheet”) as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus pursuant to Rule 433 of the Rules and Regulations prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York time) two business days after the date hereof.

The Issuer will promptly deliver to the Underwriters and Underwriters’ Counsel a signed copy of the Registration Statement, including all consents and exhibits filed therewith and all amendments thereto, and the Issuer will promptly deliver to the Underwriters such number of copies of any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Registration Statement, and all amendments of and supplements to such documents, if any, as the Underwriters may reasonably request. Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the business day next succeeding the date of this Agreement and from time to time thereafter the Issuer will furnish the Underwriters with copies of the Prospectus in New York City in such quantities as the Underwriters may reasonably request.

Promptly from time to time, the Issuer will use its reasonable best efforts to take such action as the Underwriters may reasonably request to qualify the Securities for offer and sale under the securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions in the United States as the Underwriters shall reasonably request and to comply with such laws so as to permit the continuance of sales and dealings therein in such jurisdictions for as long as the Underwriters shall reasonably request.

During the period of three years from the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Issuer shall furnish to the Underwriters copies of all reports or other communications (financial or other) furnished to holders of the Securities, and to deliver to the Underwriters (i) as soon as they are available, copies of any reports furnished to or filed with the Commission or the Euro MTF, the alternative market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, and (ii) such additional public information concerning the condition (economic, fiscal or financial) of Jamaica as the Underwriters may from time to time reasonably request.

The Issuer shall cause the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities to be applied as set forth in the Prospectus under “Use of Proceeds.”

If at any time when a prospectus (or, in lieu thereof, the notice referred to under Rule 173(a) of the Rules and Regulations) relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act any event shall have occurred as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would, in the opinion of internal or external counsel of the Underwriters or the Issuer, include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if, in the opinion of internal or external counsel of the Underwriters or the Issuer, it shall be necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Prospectus or Registration Statement or to supplement the Prospectus Supplement to comply with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or the Rules and Regulations, the Issuer will

notify the Underwriters promptly and prepare and file with the Commission and furnish to the Underwriters either (i) an appropriate amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement (in form and substance satisfactory to you) which will correct such statement or omission or (ii) if the Issuer so elects a Form 18-K pursuant to the Exchange Act, as amended, or an amendment thereto which will correct such statement or omission; provided, however, that if any such amendment or supplement is required to be prepared and filed after the expiration of nine months after the time of issue of the Prospectus, the Underwriters shall reimburse the Issuer for its reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, auditors and printing fees) in connection with supplying the Underwriters with copies thereof.

If the General Disclosure Package is being used to solicit offers to buy the Securities at a time when the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers and any event shall occur as a result of which, in the opinion of internal or external counsel of the Underwriters or the Issuer, it becomes necessary to amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances, not misleading, or to make the statements therein not conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement then on file, or if it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package to comply with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or the Rules and Regulations, the Issuer promptly will either (i) prepare, file with the Commission (if required) and furnish to the Underwriters and any dealers an appropriate amendment or supplement to the General Disclosure Package or (ii) prepare and file with the Commission an appropriate filing under the Exchange Act that shall be incorporated by reference in the General Disclosure Package so that in the case of either (i) or (ii) above the General Disclosure Package as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances, be misleading or conflict with the Registration Statement then on file, or so that the General Disclosure Package will comply with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or the Rules and Regulations.

Without prejudice to its obligations under subsections (a), (e), (i) or (j) above, the Issuer will notify the Underwriters promptly of any change affecting any of its representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and indemnities herein at any time prior to payment being made to the Issuer on the Closing Date and take such steps as may be reasonably requested by the Underwriters to remedy the same.

All payments by the Issuer under this Agreement shall be made in dollars, free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law, in which event the Issuer shall pay such additional amounts as will result in the receipt by the recipient of such amounts as would have been received by it if no such withholding or deduction had been required (“Additional Amounts”). In the event that any transaction or payment made pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the enforcement of this

Agreement, should be subject to any stamp duty, or other issue, transaction, value added or similar tax or duty (including court fees) payable in Jamaica, the Issuer will pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that the actual amount received equals the amount that would have been received had the payments not been subject to such duty or tax.

For so long as any Securities remain outstanding, the Issuer shall obtain and keep in full force and effect all authorizations from (including, without limitation, those items referred to in Section 7(i)(iii) of this Agreement), and make and keep in full force and effect all registrations with any Governmental Agency that may be required for the execution, delivery and performance of the Agreements by the Issuer or for the validity or enforceability against the Issuer of the Agreements, and that may be required for the issuance, validity or enforceability of the Securities.

The Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts to procure the acceptance of the Securities into the book-entry systems of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream Luxembourg and the eligibility of the Securities for clearance and settlement through DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream Luxembourg, and shall maintain the same until none of the Securities are outstanding.

In the event that interest due and payable on the Securities is not paid on the appointed date of payment, the Issuer undertakes that it will take all necessary and appropriate action to provide for the due payment out of the Issuer’s Consolidated Fund of any amount that is not otherwise statutory expenditure charged on the Issuer’s Consolidated Fund.

The Issuer shall not, during the period beginning on the date hereof and continuing to and including the date that is 60 days following the Closing Date, offer, sell, contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of in any offering targeted to the international capital markets any United States dollar denominated securities of or guaranteed by the Issuer that are similar to the Securities without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Underwriters shall, prior to determining whether or not to consent, consult with the Issuer.

The Issuer confirms that it has made or caused to be made on its behalf an application for the Securities to be admitted for trading on the Euro MTF, the alternative market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

The Issuer agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to maintain such admission for trading on the Euro MTF, the alternative market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, for as long as any of the Securities are outstanding and to pay all reasonable and documented fees and supply all further documents, information and undertakings as may be necessary or advisable for such purpose; provided, however, that if the admission for trading on the Euro MTF, the alternative market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, becomes unduly burdensome or impossible,

the Issuer will obtain, and will thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to maintain, a listing for the Securities on such other stock exchange as it may, with the approval of the Underwriters, select.

The Issuer agrees to supply or arrange to have supplied to the Underwriters or their agent for delivery to the Euro MTF, the alternative market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, respectively, copies of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus and such other documents, information and undertakings as may be required for the purpose of obtaining such listing.

Neither the Issuer nor any person acting on its (other than the Underwriters) will engage in any “directed selling efforts” with respect to the Securities being offered and sold in an “offshore transaction” in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.

Prior to the Closing Date, the Issuer shall have furnished to the Underwriters such further information, certificates and documents as the Underwriters may have reasonably requested.

The Issuer and the Underwriters agree:

The Issuer shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Underwriters, its Affiliates, and its and its Affiliates respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls each Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and any and all expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement for the registration of the Securities, or any amendment thereof, or any related Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any supplement thereto or amendment thereof, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, 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; provided, however, that the Issuer will not be liable in any such case to the extent but only to the extent that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense 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 Underwriters’ Information provided by the Underwriter. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability which the Issuer may otherwise have including under this Agreement.

Each Underwriter shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, its officials and representatives, against any losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and any and all expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement for the registration of the Securities, or any amendment thereof, or any related Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, 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, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense 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 Underwriters’ Information provided by the Underwriter. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability that each Underwriter may otherwise have including under this Agreement.

Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of any claims or the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8 notify each party against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the claim or the commencement thereof (but the failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have under this Section 8 and, in any event, shall not relieve it from any liability that such indemnifying party may have otherwise than on account of this Section 8). The indemnifying party shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any person the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and the indemnifying party shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8(c), in no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by one of the indemnifying parties in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, (iii) the indemnifying parties do not diligently defend such action after the assumption thereof or (iv) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to one or all of the indemnifying parties (in which case the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the indemnifying parties. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if a proceeding is settled with such consent or if there 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. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could have been sought under this Section 8 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless (A) such settlement, compromise or consent (x) includes an unconditional

release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (y) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party and (B) the indemnifying parties reaffirm their obligations to the indemnified parties to indemnify such parties pursuant to this Section 8.

In order to provide for contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is for any reason held to be unavailable to or is insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to herein, each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including any investigation, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claims asserted, but after deducting in the case of losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses suffered by a party to this Agreement any contribution received by such party from persons, other than any other party to this Agreement, who may also be liable for contribution) as incurred to which the Issuer and each Underwriter may be subject, in such proportions as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer and each Underwriter from the offering of the Securities or, if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to above but also the relative fault of the Issuer and each Underwriter in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Issuer and each Underwriter shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (i) the total proceeds from the offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Issuer and (ii) the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by each Underwriter, respectively, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Issuer and of the Underwriters 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 Issuer or the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Issuer and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, neither Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities are underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that the Underwriters have 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 in 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. For purposes of this Section 8, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as an Underwriter. Any party entitled to contribution will, 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, notify each party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation it or they may have under this Section 8 or otherwise.

Notwithstanding anything contained in the Agreement herein, this Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Underwriters, by notice given to the Issuer, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (a) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market or the Euro MTF, the alternative market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, (b) trading of any securities of or guaranteed by the Issuer shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (c) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in the State of New York shall have been declared by either Federal or New York State authorities, or (d) (i) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism involving the United States or there is a declaration of a national emergency or war by the United States or (ii) there shall have been any other calamity or crisis, or any calamity or crisis arising from a change in political, financial or economic conditions if the effect of any such event in (i) or (ii) as in the judgment of the Underwriters makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale and delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Prospectus.

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

If, on the Closing Date any one or more of the 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 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 on Schedule I 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 Underwriters may specify, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided, however, 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 11 by an amount in excess of one-tenth of such principal amount of Securities to be issued pursuant to this Agreement 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 issued pursuant to this Agreement, and arrangements satisfactory to the Underwriters and the Issuer for the purchase of such Securities are not made within five days after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Issuer. In any such case either the Underwriters or the Issuer shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date to effect any changes made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any other documents and arrangements, and the Issuer agrees to file promptly any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in the opinion of Underwriters’ Counsel, may thereby be made necessary or advisable. 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.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by an Underwriter because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Issuer to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Issuer shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any condition of the Underwriters’ obligations cannot be fulfilled, the Issuer agrees to reimburse each Underwriter for all out of pocket expenses (excluding the fees and expenses of its counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

The Issuer submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Federal or State court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, United States of America, in any legal suit, action or proceeding based on or arising under this Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of such suit or proceeding may be determined in any such court. The Issuer waives, to the extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum or objections to personal jurisdiction with respect to the maintenance of such legal suit, action or proceeding. The Issuer irrevocably agrees not to claim and irrevocably waives any sovereign or other immunity to the fullest extent permitted by law (including, without limitation, the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States). The Issuer hereby designates and appoints the Consul General of Jamaica, presently located in New York, New York (the “Process Agent”), as its authorized agent, upon whom process may be served in any such legal suit, action or proceeding, it being understood that the designation and appointment of the Consul General of Jamaica, presently located in New York, New York as such authorized agent shall become effective immediately without any further action on the part of the Issuer. Such appointment shall be irrevocable to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the appointment of a successor agent in the United States on terms substantially similar to those contained in this Section 12 and reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriter. If the Process Agent shall cease to act as agent for services of process, the Issuer shall appoint, without unreasonable delay, another such agent, and notify the Underwriters of such appointment. The Issuer represents to the Underwriters that it has notified the Process Agent of such

The obligation of the parties to make payments hereunder is in U.S. dollars (the “Obligation Currency”) and such obligation shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in any currency other than the Obligation Currency or any other realization in such other currency, whether as proceeds of set-off, security, guarantee, distributions, or otherwise, except to the extent to which such tender, recovery or realization shall result in the receipt by the party that is to receive such payment of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable hereunder. The party liable to make such payment agrees to indemnify the party that is to receive such payment for the amount (if any) by which such receipt shall exceed the full amount of the Obligation Currency, and, in each case, such obligation shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due under this Agreement. The parties agree that the rate of exchange which shall be used to determine if such tender, recovery or realization shall result in the receipt by the party which is to receive such payment of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable hereunder shall be the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfers in such foreign currency as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for the business day preceding that on which the judgment becomes a final judgment or, if such noon buying rate is not available, the rate of exchange shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Underwriters could purchase United States dollars with such foreign currency on the business day preceding that on which the judgment becomes a final judgment.

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Issuer, each Underwriter, each Affiliate of an Underwriter that assists an 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 the Underwriters shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.

All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if sent by certified mail or recorded hand delivery or transmitted by facsimile with telephonic confirmation. Notices to the Underwriters shall be given to:

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 is made and entered into the State of New York. All negotiations of this Agreement occurred, or were initiated in, the State of New York. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Neither the execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture or the Securities, nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance with the terms and provisions thereof, including performance of each of the obligations contained therein (a) to my best knowledge after due inquiry, will conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument for borrowed money known to me to which the Government of Jamaica is a party, (b) will conflict with, violate or result in a breach of, the Constitution as amended to the date hereof, or any statutes, laws (including, without limitation, the Public Management Debt Act), decrees or regulations of the Government of Jamaica, (c) to my best knowledge after due inquiry, will conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any treaty, convention or agreement to which the Government of Jamaica is a party or constitute a default thereunder, or (d) will result in a moratorium being declared by the Government of Jamaica or in the creation or imposition of any mortgage, lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the revenues or assets of the Government of Jamaica under any such treaty, convention, agreement or
