(2)if any Indebtedness is to be repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged on the transaction date (other than Indebtedness incurred under any revolving credit agreement), Consolidated Debt shall be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to the discharge of such Indebtedness; provided, however, that the pro forma calculation of Consolidated Debt shall not give effect to the discharge on the transaction date of any Indebtedness to the extent such discharge results from the proceeds of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 4.1(c)(ii);

(3)if since the beginning of the reference period the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall have made any Asset Sale, then Consolidated EBITDA for the reference period shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if positive) directly attributable to the assets which are the subject of such Asset Sale for the reference period or increased by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if negative) directly attributable thereto for the reference period;

(4)if since the beginning of the reference period the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall have made an Investment in any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer (or any Person which becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer or merges with or into a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer) or other acquisition of the assets of any Person which constitute all or substantially all of the assets of such Person or comprises any division or line of business of such Person or any other properties or assets of such Person other than in the ordinary course of business, then Consolidated EBITDA for the reference period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Investment or acquisition occurred on the first day of the reference period;

(5)if since the beginning of the reference period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer or was merged with or into the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such reference period shall have made any Asset Sale, Investment or acquisition of assets that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (3) or (4) above if made by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries during the reference period, then Consolidated EBITDA for the reference period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Asset Sale, Investment or acquisition had occurred on the first day of the reference period; and

(6)if since the beginning of the reference period the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall have discontinued any operations, Consolidated EBITDA for the reference period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such discontinued operations had been discontinued on the first day of the reference period.

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any Asset Sale, any Investment or acquisition of assets, and the amount of income or earnings related thereto, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by the chief financial or accounting officer of the Issuer.

“Consolidated Net Income” means, with respect to any specified Person for any period, the aggregate of the Net Income of such Person and its Subsidiaries for such period, on a consolidated basis, determined in accordance with IFRS (without duplication); provided, however, that:

(1)the Net Income (loss) of (A) any unconsolidated affiliate of such Person (including any Person accounted for by the equity method of accounting) and (B) any Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, shall be included only to the extent of the amount of dividends or similar distributions paid in cash to such Person or a Restricted Subsidiary of such Person, except that, for purposes of calculating Consolidated Net Income pursuant to Section 4.1(e)(ii)(3)(A), any such dividend or distribution shall be excluded from this definition to the extent included under Section 4.1(e)(ii)(3)(E).

(2)the Net Income of any Restricted Subsidiary shall be excluded to the extent that the declaration or payment of dividends or similar distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary of that Net Income is not at the date of determination permitted without any prior governmental approval (that has not been obtained) or, directly or indirectly, by operation of the terms of its charter or any agreement, instrument, judgment, decree, order,

statute, rule or governmental regulation applicable to that Restricted Subsidiary or its stockholders, except to the extent that any dividend or similar distribution is actually and lawfully made and not otherwise included in Consolidated Net Income of such Person; provided, however that the Net Income of any Restricted Subsidiary that is subject to governmental statute, rule or regulation-based restrictions described in this clause (2) shall not be excluded under this clause (2), in each case solely to the extent that this definition is used to calculate “Consolidated EBITDA” for purposes of (i) incurring Indebtedness or issuing preferred stock pursuant to Section 4.1(c)(i) or Section 4.1(c)(ii) calculating the Consolidated Net Debt to EBITDA Ratio for the Issuer under Section 4.3(a)(iv)(1) or Section 4.3(a)(iv)(2), as the case may be;

With the delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer is furnishing, and from time to time hereafter may (and, at the reasonable request of the Trustee, shall) furnish, an Officers’ Certificate identifying and certifying the incumbency and specimen signatures of its Authorized Officers. Until the Trustee receives a subsequent Officers’ Certificate updating such list, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon the last such Officers’ Certificate delivered to it for purposes of determining the Issuer’s Authorized Officers. Typographical and other minor errors or defects in any signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Note that has been duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

(b)In case any Authorized Officer of the Issuer who shall have signed any Note shall cease to be an Authorized Officer of the Issuer before the Note so signed shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by or on behalf of the Issuer, such Note nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as if the Person who signed such Note on behalf of the Issuer had not ceased to be such Authorized Officer.

Upon receipt by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office of: (i) written Instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from a DTC Participant directing the Trustee to credit or cause to be credited to a specified DTC Participant’s account a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note in a principal balance equal to that of the beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note to be so exchanged or transferred, (ii) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the

(c)If the owner of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note wishes at any time to exchange its beneficial interest therein for a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note, or to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note, then such exchange or transfer may be effected, subject to the Applicable Procedures and minimum denomination requirement, only in accordance with this Section 2.6(c). Upon receipt by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office of: (i) written Instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from a DTC Participant directing the Trustee to credit or cause to be credited to a specified DTC Participant’s account a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note in a principal balance equal to that of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to be so exchanged or transferred, (ii) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the DTC Participant (and, if applicable, the Euroclear or Clearstream account, as the case may be) to be debited with, and the account of the DTC Participant to be credited for, such beneficial interest and (iii) a certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit C given by the holder of such beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note, the Trustee shall approve the instructions at DTC to reduce the balance of the Regulation S Global Note and to increase the balance of the Restricted Global Note, by the principal balance of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to be so exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the DTC Participant for the benefit of such Person specified in such Instructions a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note having a principal balance equal to the amount by which the balance of the Regulation S Global Note was reduced upon such exchange or transfer.

(d)If a Global Note or any portion thereof (or beneficial interest therein) is exchanged for a Definitive Note pursuant to Section 2.8, then such Definitive Note may in turn be exchanged (upon transfer or otherwise) for other Definitive Notes only in accordance with such procedures, which shall be substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.6 (including any certification requirement intended to ensure that transfers and exchanges of Definitive Notes comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S, as the case may be) and any Applicable Law, as may be adopted from time to time by the Issuer.

(e)So long as the Notes are listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange and the rules of such exchange so require, transfers or exchange of Definitive Notes may be made by presenting and surrendering such Notes at, and obtaining new Definitive Notes from, the office of the paying agent in Singapore, to be appointed by the Issuer. Such Singapore paying agent shall

have the same duties and rights conferred to a Paying Agent. With respect to a partial transfer of a Definitive Note, a new Definitive Note in respect of the balance of the principal amount of the Definitive Note that was not transferred shall be delivered at the office of such Singapore paying agent. In the event that the Global Notes are exchanged for Definitive Notes, announcement of such exchange shall be made through the Singapore Stock Exchange and such announcement shall include all material information with respect to the delivery of the Definitive Notes.

(a)Global Notes shall bear restrictive legends in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereof. Definitive Notes shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereof excluding the Global Notes Legend set forth thereon.

(b)The required legends set forth on Exhibit A may be removed from a Global Note as provided in such legends or if there is delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee such evidence satisfactory to the Issuer, which shall include an Opinion of Counsel, as may reasonably be required by the Issuer that neither such legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers of such Note (or beneficial interests therein) shall not violate the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Upon provision of such evidence satisfactory to the Issuer, the Trustee, upon receipt of written direction of the Issuer, an Officers’ Certificate and an Authentication Order, shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such Note a Note (or Notes) having an equal aggregate principal balance that does not bear such legend. If such a legend required for a Note has been removed as provided above, then no other Note issued in exchange for all or any part of such Note shall bear such legend unless the Issuer has reasonable cause to believe that such other Note is a “restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and instructs the Trustee to cause a legend to appear thereon.

(c)The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or Applicable Law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among DTC Participants or owners of beneficial interests in any Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine material compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

Section 2.8Issuance of Definitive Notes.

(a)If (a) the Issuer or DTC notifies the Trustee in writing that DTC is unwilling or unable to continue as the depository for a Global Note, or that it ceases to be registered as a “clearing agency” under the Exchange Act and the Issuer is unable to appoint a qualified successor depository within ninety (90) days of such notice; or (b) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee has received a request from DTC to issue Definitive Notes, then the Trustee shall notify all applicable Holders, through DTC, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Beneficial Owners. Upon the giving of such notice and the surrender of the Global Notes by DTC, accompanied by registration Instructions, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall deliver Definitive Notes (which shall be in definitive, fully registered, non-global form without interest coupons) for the Global Notes. If Definitive Notes are

to be issued in accordance with this Section 2.8, then the Issuer shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Definitive Notes. Unless counsel to the Issuer determines otherwise in accordance with Applicable Law and the procedures set forth in Section 2.7(b), any such Definitive Notes shall bear the appropriate transfer-restriction legends.

(b)Until Definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and, upon receipt of written Instructions by the Issuer, the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and, upon receipt of written Instructions by the Issuer, the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes and deliver them in exchange for temporary Notes. Until so exchanged, the Holders of temporary Notes shall have all of the rights and obligations under this Indenture as Holders of Definitive Notes.

Section 2.9 Persons Deemed Owners. Before due presentation of a Note for registration of transfer, the Trustee and any Authorized Agent or other agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered on the Register on the applicable record date as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee nor any Authorized Agent or other such agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(b)Principal of, and interest (and premium and Additional Amounts, if any) on, the Notes shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent holds, as of 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on or prior to the Business Day prior to the due date, money deposited by or on behalf of the Issuer in immediately available funds in Dollars and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal of, and interest (and premium and Additional Amounts, if any) on the Notes then due.

The Paying Agent shall have no responsibility regarding notations of payment on a Note and shall be responsible only for maintaining its records in accordance with this Indenture. Absent manifest error, the records of the Paying Agent shall be controlling as to payments in respect of the Notes.

(d)Notwithstanding Section 2.10(b), payment of principal of any Definitive Note shall be made only against surrender of such Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (or such other location as the Trustee shall notify the applicable Holder) or in accordance with DTC’s Applicable Procedures.

(e)In the case of Definitive Notes, payments to Holders shall be by electronic funds transfer in immediately available funds to an account maintained by such Holder with a bank having electronic funds transfer capability upon written application to the Trustee (received by the Trustee not later than the relevant Record Date) by a Holder holding Notes or, if not, by check sent by first-class mail to the address of such Holder appearing on the Register as of the relevant Record Date; provided, however, that the final payment in respect of any Note shall be made only as provided in Section 2.10(d). Unless such designation for payment by electronic funds transfer is revoked in writing, any such designation made by such Holder shall remain in effect with respect to any future payments to such Holder.

(f)So long as the Notes are listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange and the rules of such exchange so require, payments of principal on Definitive Notes may be made by presenting and surrendering such Notes at the office of a Singapore paying agent to be appointed by the Issuer, such Singapore paying agent to have the same duties and rights conferred to a Paying Agent.

Section 2.11 Additional Notes. The Issuer may issue additional Notes (the “Additional Notes”) under this Indenture, from time to time after this offering, in an unlimited principal amount, without consent of Holders. Any issuance of Additional Notes is subject to all of the covenants in this Indenture, including the covenant described in Section 4.1(c). Any Additional Notes shall have the same terms and conditions as the Notes (including the benefit of the Note Guarantees) in all respects (other than the issue date, issue price and date from which interest shall accrue and, to the extent necessary, certain temporary securities law transfer restrictions) so that such Additional Notes shall be part of the same series as the Notes issued on the Issue Date and shall vote on all matters that require a vote, including waivers and amendments; provided, however, that Additional Notes with the same securities identifiers (such as CUSIPs, ISINs and/or common codes) may be issued only if such issuance would constitute a “qualified reopening” for U.S. federal income tax purposes or if such Additional Notes are issued without, or with less than a de minimis amount of, original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Section 2.12Additional Amounts.

(a)All payments of principal, premium, if any, or interest by the Issuer in respect of the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantors, in the case of payments pursuant to the Note Guarantees in respect of the Notes (whichever applicable, the “Applicable Payor”) shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, penalties, fines, duties, assessments or other governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any jurisdiction in which the Applicable Payor is organized, is a current or former resident for tax purposes or carries on business for tax purposes or any other jurisdiction by or through which payment is made, or any political subdivision thereof or any authority therein having power to tax (each, a “Tax Jurisdiction”) (“Applicable Taxes”), unless

such deduction or withholding is required by law, or the official interpretation thereof or by the administration thereof.

(b)In any such event, the Applicable Payor shall pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) in respect of Applicable Taxes as may be necessary to ensure that the amounts received by Holders of such Notes after such deduction or withholding shall equal the respective amounts that would have been receivable in respect of such Notes in the absence of such deduction or withholding, except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable:

(i)to or on behalf of a Holder or beneficial owner of a Note that is liable for Applicable Taxes in respect of such Note by reason of having a present or former connection with the relevant Tax Jurisdiction imposing or levying the Applicable Taxes other than the mere holding or owning of such Note or the enforcement of rights with respect to such Note or the receipt of income or any payments in respect thereof;

(ii)to or on behalf of a Holder or beneficial owner of a Note in respect of Applicable Taxes that would not have been imposed but for the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner of a Note to comply with any certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement (within thirty (30) calendar days following a written request from the Applicable Payor to the Holder for compliance) if such compliance is required by applicable law, regulation, administrative practice or an applicable treaty as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of, Applicable Taxes;

(iii)to or on behalf of a Holder or beneficial owner of a Note in respect of any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal assets or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

(iv)to or on behalf of a Holder or beneficial owner of a Note in respect of Applicable Taxes payable otherwise than by withholding from payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or with respect to any Note Guarantees;

(v)to or on behalf of a Holder or beneficial owner of a Note in respect of Applicable Taxes that would not have been imposed but for the fact that the Holder presented such Note for payment (where presentation is required) more than thirty (30) days after the later of (x) the date on which such payment became due and (y) if the full amount payable has not been received by the Trustee on or prior to such due date, the date on which, the full amount having been so received, notice to that effect shall be deemed to have been given to the Holders by the Trustee;

(vi)to or on behalf of a Holder or beneficial owner of a Note in respect of any amount withheld or deducted pursuant to, or in connection with, Sections 1471- 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury regulations thereunder or official guidance with respect thereto (“FATCA”), including any agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service with respect thereto, any intergovernmental agreement between the United States and Peru or any other jurisdiction with respect to FATCA, or any law, regulation or other official guidance enacted or issued in any

jurisdiction implementing, or in connection with, FATCA or any intergovernmental agreement with respect to FATCA; or

(vii)

any combination of items (i) to (vi) above;

(c)Nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment of the principal of, or any premium or interest on, any Notes to any Holder or beneficial owner of a Note who is a fiduciary, or partnership, or limited liability company or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the relevant Tax Jurisdiction to be included in the income for tax purposes of a beneficiary, or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, or a member of such partnership or limited liability company or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had it been the Holder of such Notes. In addition, the Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Holders and the Trustee against any Peruvian value-added tax that is imposed on a payment of interest on the Notes or any fees, except to the extent that such Peruvian value-added tax would be excluded from payment of Additional Amounts pursuant to items (i) through (vii) above.

(d)All references in this Indenture to principal, premium or interest payable hereunder shall be deemed to include references to any Additional Amounts payable with respect to such principal, premium or interest. The Applicable Payor shall provide the Trustee with documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee evidencing the payment of any amounts deducted or withheld promptly upon the Applicable Payor’s payment thereof, and copies of such documentation shall be provided to Holders upon written request.

(e)The Issuer shall pay promptly when due any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes or similar charges or levies that arise in any jurisdiction from the execution, delivery or registration of each Note or any other document or instrument referred to herein or such Note, excluding any such taxes, charges or similar levies imposed by any jurisdiction that is not a Tax Jurisdiction except those resulting from, or required to be paid in connection with, the enforcement of such Note or any other such document or instrument after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default with respect to the Note in default (other than in each case, in connection with a transfer after this offering).

Section 2.13Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.

(a)In case any Note shall become mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate, register and deliver a new Note of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and equal principal amount registered in the same manner, dated the date of its authentication and bearing interest from the date to which interest has been paid on such Note, in exchange and substitution for such Note (upon surrender and cancellation thereof in the case of mutilated or defaced Notes) or in lieu of and in substitution for such Note. In case a Note is destroyed, lost or stolen, the applicant for a substitute Note shall furnish the Issuer and the Trustee (a) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless and (b) satisfactory evidence of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof. Upon the issuance of any substituted Note, the Trustee may require the payment by the registered Holder thereof of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in

relation thereto and any fees and expenses (including those of the Trustee) connected therewith. With respect to mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Definitive Notes, a Holder thereof may obtain new registered Definitive Notes from the Corporate Trust Office.

(b)Notwithstanding any statement herein, the Issuer reserves its right to impose such transfer, certificate, exchange or other requirements, and to require such restrictive legends on Notes, as it may determine are necessary to ensure compliance with the securities laws of the United States and the states therein and any other Applicable Law.

Section 2.14Cancellation.

(a)All Notes surrendered for payment, exchange or redemption, or deemed lost or stolen, shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee by such Person and shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee (or, if lost or stolen and not yet replaced pursuant to Section 2.13, delivered to the applicable Holder). No Note shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Note canceled as provided in this Section except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of or held by it in accordance with its standard retention policy.

(b)Any Note(s) (or beneficial interests therein) that are acquired by the Issuer may be canceled upon the election of the Issuer to do so; provided, however, that no cancellation may be made between a Record Date and the next Interest Payment Date. In order to effect such cancellation, the Issuer shall send to the Trustee a written notice that it owns such Note(s) (or beneficial interest(s)) and wishes to have the indicated principal amount thereof cancelled (which ownership the Issuer shall evidence to the satisfaction of the Trustee). Upon receipt of any such notice and satisfactory evidence, the Issuer hereby instructs the Trustee promptly to cause such principal amount to be cancelled (including, if applicable, to notify any applicable securities depository). Upon any such cancellation, the remaining unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be reduced to take into effect such cancellation and the calculation of interest (and other calculations under this Indenture) shall take into effect such cancellation.

Section 2.15Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Notes.

(a)The Issuer hereby initially appoints the Registrar as transfer agent for the Notes. The Registrar shall register Notes and transfers and exchanges thereof as provided herein. The Registrar and each transfer agent and co-registrar, if any, appointed with respect to the Notes shall be referred to collectively as the “Transfer Agent.” The Registrar shall cause to be kept at the office or agency to be maintained by it in accordance with Section 8.11 a register (the “Register”) in which, subject to restrictions on transfer set forth herein, and such other reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Registrar shall provide for: (i) the registration of the Notes and (ii) the registration of transfers and exchanges of the Notes as provided herein. The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Holders received by the Trustee.

(b)Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the Corporate Trust Office or such other office or agency maintained by the Trustee in accordance with Section 8.11, the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order directing the Trustee to authenticate and

deliver Notes, shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee (and, if the transfer is for less than all of the applicable Note, the transferor), one or more new Note(s) executed by the Issuer in authorized denominations of a like aggregate principal balance and deliver such new Note(s) to the applicable Holder(s).

(c)Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (or the applicable Transfer Agent) duly executed by the applicable Holder or its attorney duly authorized in writing.

(d)No service charge shall be charged to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith and any other expenses (including fees and expenses of the Trustee) that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.13 not involving any transfer.

(e)All Notes surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed or retained by the Trustee in accordance with its standard retention policy.

(f)In addition to the other provisions herein, the Issuer reserves the right to impose such transfer, certificate, exchange or other requirements, and to require such restrictive legends on a Note, as it may determine are necessary to ensure compliance with the securities laws of the United States and the states thereof and any other Applicable Law.

the net cash proceeds of one or more Public Equity Offerings of the Issuer; provided, however, that:

(a)The Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, at a price in Dollars equal to the outstanding principal amount thereof, together with any Additional Amounts and accrued and unpaid interest to (but excluding) the redemption date, if:

(i)the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts on the Notes in excess of the Additional Amounts that the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, would pay if payments in respect of the Notes were subject to deduction or withholding at a rate equal to the generally applicable withholding tax rate imposed by Peru as of the Issue Date (determined without regard to any interest, fees, penalties or other additions to tax), as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) or treaties of Peru or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or any change in the official application, administration or interpretation of such laws, regulations, rulings or treaties in Peru that occurs after the later of the Issue Date and the date that a Tax Jurisdiction becomes a Tax Jurisdiction; and

(ii)such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, taking commercially reasonable measures available to it; provided, however, that for this purpose reasonable measures shall not include any change in the Issuer’s jurisdiction of organization or location of its principal executive office (but, for the avoidance of doubt, reasonable measures may include a change in the jurisdiction of a principal paying agent but shall not require the Issuer to incur material additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens), and provided, further, that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than sixty (60) days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts, were a payment in respect of the Notes then due.

(b)

Prior to the giving of notice of redemption of such Notes pursuant to clause

(a)above, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and a written opinion of recognized Peruvian counsel, independent of the Issuer and any Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the Note Guarantees, to the effect that all approvals necessary for the Issuer to effect such redemption have been or at the time of redemption shall be obtained and in full force and effect and that the Issuer is entitled to effect such a redemption pursuant to this Indenture, and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the circumstances giving rise to such right of redemption.

(c)The foregoing provisions shall apply mutatis mutandis to the laws and official positions of any jurisdiction in which any successor to an Applicable Payor is organized or otherwise considered to be a resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein. The foregoing provisions shall survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture.

(d)Any notice of redemption sent to Holders under this Section 3.4 shall be irrevocable upon delivery to the Holders.

Section 3.5Selection by the Trustee of Notes to be Redeemed and Notice of

Redemption.

(a)

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Notes shall

be selected for redemption in accordance with DTC’s Applicable Procedures in the case of Global Notes and otherwise, by lot or by such method as the Trustee may determine is fair and appropriate, unless otherwise required by law or the requirements of any exchange on which the Notes may be

listed (as notified to the Trustee by the Issuer). No Notes of U.S.$200,000 (two hundred thousand) or less can be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first-class mail at least thirty (30) but not more than sixty (60) days before the redemption date to each Holder to be redeemed at its registered address (with a copy to the Trustee), except that redemption notices may be mailed more than sixty (60) days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

(b)Except as provided in Section 3.4(d), notice of any redemption of the Notes may, at the discretion of the Issuer, be subject to one or more conditions precedent. In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than sixty (60) days after the date the notice of redemption was delivered) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed, or such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer’s discretion if in the Issuer’s good faith judgment any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. At the Issuer’s request, in the form of an Officers’ Certificate given to the Trustee at least five (5) business days in advance of the delivery of such notice to Holders, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense; provided, however, that the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee the information to be stated in such notice, including any information regarding or related to the satisfaction of any conditions precedent.

(c)If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note shall state the portion of the principal amount of that Note that is to be redeemed. In the case of Definitive Notes, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note shall be issued in the name of the Holder upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption, unless payment is withheld.

Section 3.6 Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day prior to any redemption date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent an amount of money in immediately available funds in Dollars sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Notes.

Section 3.7Notes Payable on Redemption Date.

(a)Notice of redemption having been given as set forth in Section 3.5, the Notes shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable at the redemption price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the redemption price) the Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any Note for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Note shall be paid by the Issuer at the redemption price, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

(b)If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal thereof and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, as applicable, shall, until paid, bear interest from the redemption date at the rate prescribed therefor

in such Note. For the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer shall calculate the premium, if any, that is due and neither the Trustee nor any Authorized Agent shall have any duty to confirm and/or verify such calculation.

Section 3.8 Open Market Purchases. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may at any time acquire Notes whether by means of a tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, at any price in compliance with applicable securities laws. Any Note so purchased by the Issuer may be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Article IV

COVENANTS

Section 4.1 Covenants of the Issuer. The Issuer agrees that so long as any amount payable by it under this Indenture or the Notes remains unpaid, it shall, and shall cause its Restricted Subsidiaries, as applicable, to comply with the following covenants:

(ii)Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year ending on December 31 of each fiscal year of the Issuer ending after the date hereof, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate which need not comply with Section 10.12, executed by the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer or the principal accounting officer of the Issuer and one other Authorized Officer of the Issuer, as to such officers’ knowledge of the Issuer’s compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture, such compliance to be determined (solely for the purpose of this Section 4.1(a)(ii)) without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice under this Indenture.

(b)Listing. The Issuer shall apply to list the Notes on the Official List of the Singapore Stock Exchange. In the event that the Notes are admitted to listing on the Official List of the Singapore Stock Exchange, the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to maintain such listing; provided, however, that the Issuer may delist the Notes from such exchange in accordance with the rules of such exchange and seek an alternative admission to listing, trading and/or quotation for the Notes on a different section of such exchange or by such other listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system as the Issuer’s Board of Directors may decide.

(c)

Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness.

(i)The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Issuer shall not issue any Disqualified Stock and shall not permit

any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that the Issuer may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, and the Subsidiary Guarantors may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue preferred stock, if, in each case, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the preferred stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four fiscal quarters:

(1)the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Issuer’s most recently ended four fiscal quarters for which internal consolidated financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or such preferred stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0; and

(2)the Consolidated Net Debt to EBITDA Ratio for the Issuer’s most recently ended four fiscal quarters for which internal consolidated financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or such preferred stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been no greater than 3.5 to 1.0.

(ii)Section 4.1(c)(i) shall not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):

(4)intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:

(A)if the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the payee is not the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the Notes, in the case of the Issuer, or the Note Guarantee, in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor; and

(B)(i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (4);

(5)shares of preferred stock issued by any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer to the Issuer or to any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer; provided, however, that:

(B)any sale or other transfer of any such preferred stock to a Person that is not either the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such preferred stock by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this clause (5);

(6)Hedging Obligations of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business for bona fide hedging purposes and not for speculative purposes (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or senior management of the Issuer), including in respect of financing transactions permitted under this Indenture, and, in the case of clauses (1) and (2) of the definition of Hedging Obligations, substantially corresponding in terms of notional amount, duration, currencies and interest rates, as applicable, to Indebtedness of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries incurred without violation of this Indenture;

(7)guarantees by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.1(c) (including any Note Guarantee); provided, however, that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to the Notes or the Note Guarantees, then the Guarantee shall be subordinated to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed;

(8)Indebtedness in the form of performance bonds, completion guarantees and surety or appeal bonds entered into by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of their business;

(9)Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries owed to any Person in connection with worker’s compensation, self-insurance, health, disability or other employee benefits or property, casualty or liability insurance provided by such Person to the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary,

pursuant to reimbursement or indemnification obligations to such Person, in each case incurred in the ordinary course of business;

(10)Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument (except in the case of daylight overdrafts) inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds, so long as such Indebtedness is extinguished within five Business Days of incurrence;

(12)Indebtedness incurred by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of letters of credit (and reimbursement obligations with respect thereto) issued in the ordinary course of business, including, without limitation, letters of credit to procure raw materials or relating to workers’ compensation claims or self-insurance, or other Indebtedness relating to reimbursement-type obligations regarding workers’ compensation claims and not to secured Indebtedness or other long-term deferred payment obligations;

(13)(A) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary incurred and outstanding on the date on which such Restricted Subsidiary was acquired by, or merged into, the Issuer other than Indebtedness incurred (I) to provide all or any portion of the funds utilized to consummate the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was otherwise acquired by the Issuer or (II) otherwise in connection with, or in contemplation of, such acquisition; provided, however, that at the time such Restricted Subsidiary is acquired by the Issuer, the Issuer would have been able to incur U.S.$1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.1(c)(i) after giving effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (13), and (B) Acquired Debt of a Person consolidated or merged with the Issuer as permitted Section 4.3(a)(iv)(2);

(14)in addition to the items referred to in clauses (1) through (13) above, Indebtedness and Disqualified Stock of the Issuer and Indebtedness or preferred stock of Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate outstanding principal amount which, when taken together with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock and preferred stock incurred pursuant to this clause (14) and then outstanding, shall not exceed the greater of (x) U.S.$450,000,000 (four hundred fifty million) (or the equivalent in other

currencies) or (y) 12.5% of the Issuer’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets outstanding at the date of determination.

(iii)The Issuer shall not incur, and shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Note Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness shall be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a first or junior Lien basis.

(iv)For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.1(c), in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (13) of Section 4.1(c)(ii), or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.1(c)(i), the Issuer, in its sole discretion, shall be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.1(c) and shall only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of the above clauses.

(v)The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.1(c); provided, however, in each such case, that the amount of any such accrual, accretion or payment is included in Fixed Charges of the Issuer as accrued.

(vi)For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar- denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the Dollar amount of Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than the Dollar shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred or, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness, on the date such Indebtedness was first committed. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.1(c), the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur pursuant to this Section 4.1(c) shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

(vii)

The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date shall be:

(1)the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

(2)the principal amount or liquidation preference of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and

(3)in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

(A)the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and

(B)

the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

(d)

Limitation on Asset Sales.

(i)The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(1)the Issuer (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests sold, issued or otherwise disposed of; and

(2)at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this provision, each of the following shall be deemed to be cash:

(A)any liabilities, as shown on the Issuer’s most recent consolidated balance sheet, of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Disqualified Stock or contingent liabilities and liabilities that are subordinate to the Notes or the Note Guarantees) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary arrangement that releases the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability (in which case, the Issuer shall, without further action, be deemed to have applied such deemed cash to Indebtedness in accordance with Section 4.1(d)(ii)(1));

(B)any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within sixty (60) days, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion;

(C)Royalty interests in respect of any portion of the asset subject to the Asset Sale; and

(D)any stock or assets of the kind referred to in Section 4.1(d)(ii)(2) or Section 4.1(d)(ii)(3).

(ii)Within three hundred sixty-five (365) days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may apply such Net Proceeds at their option:

(1)to repay, prepay or purchase (A) Obligations of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary under senior secured Indebtedness permitted to have been incurred under Section 4.1(c) and Section 4.1(f), (B) Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that ranks pari passu with the Notes; provided, however, that such Indebtedness has a final maturity date that is earlier than the final maturity date of the Notes, or (C) senior secured Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer;

(2)

to purchase:

(A)assets (other than current assets as determined in accordance with IFRS or Capital Stock) to be used by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in a Permitted Business; or

(B)Capital Stock of a Person engaged in a Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary;

(3)to make capital expenditures (including refurbishments) to be used by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in a Permitted Business; or

(4)any combination of items (1) through (3) of this Section 4.1(d)(ii); provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall apply an amount equal the greater of (A) the first U.S.$275,000,000 (two hundred seventy five million) (or the equivalent in other currencies) in Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale conducted following the Issue Date or (B) 50% of the Net Proceeds from the first Asset Sale conducted following the Issue Date, in each case, pursuant only to clause (1) above, within one hundred eighty (180) days after the receipt of any such Net Proceeds.

(iii)In the case of clauses (2) and (3) of Section 4.1(d)(ii), the Issuer shall have complied with its obligations if it enters into a binding commitment to acquire such assets or Capital Stock within three hundred sixty-five (365) days after receipt of such Net Proceeds; provided, however, that such binding commitment shall be subject only to customary conditions and that such acquisition is consummated before the later of (1) the date that is six months from the date of signing such binding commitment and (2) the end of such three hundred sixty-five (365)-day period.

(iv)Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.1(d)(ii) and Section 4.1(d)(iii) of this covenant shall constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds U.S.$50,000,000 (fifty million), within thirty (30) days thereof, the Issuer shall make an

offer (the “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders and, at the Issuer’s option if required by the terms of such other Indebtedness, to all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase (or, in respect of such other pari passu Indebtedness of the Issuer or the Subsidiary Guarantors, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such pari passu Indebtedness) and shall be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Notes shall be selected according to DTC’s Applicable Procedures, and the Issuer or its agent shall select such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. The Issuer may satisfy its obligations under this covenant by making an Asset Sale Offer prior to the expiration of three hundred sixty-five

(365) days from the date of such Asset Sale or Asset Sales.

(v)The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

(vi)Any future credit agreements or other agreements relating to Indebtedness to which the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor becomes a party may contain restrictions and provisions prohibiting the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor from purchasing any Notes or providing that certain change of control or asset sale events with respect to the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor shall constitute a default. In the event a Change of Control Repurchase Event or Asset Sale occurs at a time when the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor is prohibited from purchasing the Notes, the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor could seek the consent of parties to such agreements to purchase Notes or could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such prohibition. If the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor does not obtain such consents or repay such borrowings, the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain prohibited from purchasing the Notes. In such case, the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor’s failure to purchase tendered Notes would constitute an Event of Default under this Indenture, which would, in turn, likely constitute a default under such Indebtedness. On the other hand, certain corporate events may not constitute an Asset Sale, in which case the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, shall not be required to repurchase your Notes.

(e)

Limitation on Restricted Payments.

(i)The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(1)declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of the Issuer’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests to the direct or indirect holders of such Equity Interests (other than

(A)dividends, payments or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer or (B) dividends, payments or distributions payable to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary (and if such Restricted Subsidiary is not a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, to its other holders of common Equity Interests on a pro rata basis));

(2)purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity Interests of the Issuer held by Persons other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary;

(3)make any principal payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, prior to any scheduled final maturity, scheduled repayment or scheduled sinking fund payment, as the case may be, any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is contractually subordinated to the Notes or to any Note Guarantee (excluding any intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Issuer and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries); or

(4)

make any Investment (other than a Permitted Investment);

(ii)(all such payments and other actions set forth in these clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless at the time of and after giving pro forma effect to such Restricted Payment:

(1)no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment;

(2)the Issuer would have been permitted to incur at least U.S.$1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.1(c)(i); and

(3)the aggregate amount of the proposed Restricted Payment and all other Restricted Payments made by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries since the Issue Date up to the date thereof is less than the sum, without duplication of:

case such Consolidated Net Income is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit); plus

(C)to the extent that any Investment (other than a Permitted Investment) that was made under this clause (3) after the Issue Date is sold or otherwise liquidated or repaid (other than to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary), the amount of cash received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such sale, liquidation or disposition or the Fair Market Value of property to be used in the Permitted Business of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such sale, liquidation or disposition (in each case, less the cost of disposition, liquidation or repayment, if any, paid or to be paid by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary); plus

(D)to the extent that any Unrestricted Subsidiary designated as such after the Issue Date is redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary or is merged with or consolidated into the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date, the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value of the Issuer’s Investment in such Subsidiary as of the date of such redesignation or merger or consolidation or (ii) such Fair Market Value as of the date on which such Subsidiary was originally designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date; plus

(E)100% of any dividends or distributions received by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date from an Unrestricted Subsidiary or unconsolidated investee of the Issuer; plus

(F)the amount of cash received by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary as repayment of loans which constitute Investments (other than Permitted Investments) made under this clause (3) after the Issue Date by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary or the value of Guarantees made under this clause (3) after the Issue Date by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary which constituted Investments (other than Permitted Investments) that have been released in full.

(iii)

The preceding provisions shall not prohibit:

(1)the payment of any dividend or the consummation of any irrevocable redemption within sixty (60) days after the date of declaration of the dividend or giving of the redemption notice, as the case may be, if at the date of declaration or notice, the dividend or redemption payment would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture;

(2)upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event and within sixty (60) days after the completion of the offer to repurchase the Notes pursuant to the covenant described under Section 4.5, or within sixty (60) days after the completion of the offer to repurchase the Notes pursuant to Section 4.1(d), any purchase or redemption of Obligations subordinated to the Notes, required pursuant to the terms thereof as a result of such Change of Control Repurchase Event at a purchase or redemption price not to exceed 101% of the outstanding principal amount thereof or liquidation value thereof (in the case of a Change of Control Repurchase Event) or 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof or liquidation value thereof (in the case of an offer to repurchase as a result of an Asset Sale), as the case may be, plus any accrued and unpaid interest; provided, however, that at the time of such purchase or redemption no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would result therefrom);

(6)so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, payments to fund the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or

retirement for value of any Equity Interests of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary held by any current or former officer, director or employee of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to any equity subscription agreement, stock option agreement, shareholders’ agreement or similar agreement to compensate such officer, director or employee; provided, however, that the aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests (other than upon the death or disability of the relevant officer, director or employee) may not exceed U.S.$3,000,000 (three million) (or the equivalent in other currencies) in any fiscal year (with unused amounts in any fiscal year being carried over to succeeding fiscal years subject to a maximum payment (without giving effect to the following provisions) of U.S.$8,000,000 (eight million) (or the equivalent in other currencies) in the aggregate in any fiscal year); provided, further, that such amount may be increased by an amount not to exceed the cash proceeds from the sale of Equity Interests of the Issuer to current or former members of management, directors, managers or consultants of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries that occurs after the Issue Date, to the extent the cash proceeds from the sale of such Equity Interests have not otherwise been applied to the calculation of available Restricted Payments by virtue of Section 4.1(e)(ii)(3)(B);

(7)the repurchase of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options, warrants or other convertible securities to the extent such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise price thereof; provided, however, that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment shall be excluded from Section 4.1(e)(ii)(3)(B);

(10)so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, payment of cash dividends on Common Stock of the Issuer in the aggregate in any fiscal year in an amount not to exceed the greater of (x) U.S.$50,000,000 (fifty million) (or the equivalent thereof in other currencies) per fiscal year, or (y) 10% of Consolidated Net Income for the prior fiscal year.

(iv)In determining the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments made subsequent to the Issue Date, amounts expended pursuant to clauses (1) (without duplication for the declaration of the relevant dividend), (2), (6), (9) and (10) above shall

be included in such calculation and amounts expended pursuant to clauses (3), (4), (5), (7) and (8) above shall not be included in such calculation.

(v)The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment.

(f)Limitation on Liens. The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) of any kind on any asset (including Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries, but excluding Capital Stock of Unrestricted Subsidiaries) now owned or hereafter acquired to secure Indebtedness, unless contemporaneously with the incurrence of such Liens effective provision is made to secure the Indebtedness due under this Indenture and the Notes or, in respect of Liens on any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ property or assets, any Note Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, equally and ratably with (or prior to in the case of Liens with respect to Obligations subordinate to the Notes and any Note Guarantees, as the case may be) the Indebtedness secured by such Lien for so long as such Indebtedness is so secured.

(g)

Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.

(i)The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Issuer (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:

disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer or of the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be; and

(7)

any Note Guarantees; and

(8)loans or advances to employees, directors, officers or consultants (i) in the ordinary course of business or (ii) otherwise not to exceed U.S.$2,000,000 (two million) (or the equivalent in other currencies) in the aggregate at any one time outstanding with respect to all loans or advances made since the Issue Date.

(h)

Maintenance of Priority.

(i)The Issuer shall ensure that its payment obligations with respect to the Notes shall constitute its direct, unconditional and general unsecured senior obligations and shall rank senior or pari passu (except for Indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes) in priority of payment and in all other respects (other than security) with respect to its future Indebtedness, except for labor, social security, tax claims and secured obligations to the extent of the value of the assets securing such obligations, that in the case of insolvency or bankruptcy are granted preferential treatment pursuant to the laws of Peru.

(ii)Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall ensure that its payment obligations with respect to its Note Guarantee shall constitute its direct, unconditional and general unsecured senior obligations and shall rank senior or pari passu (except for Indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to its Note Guarantee) in priority of payment and in all other respects (other than security) with respect to its future Indebtedness, except for labor, social security, tax claims and secured obligations to the extent of the value of the assets securing such obligations that in the case of insolvency or bankruptcy are granted preferential treatment pursuant to the laws of Peru.

(i)Future Collateral. In the event that after January 1, 2022, the Lien existing on the Issue Date (as described in the Offering Memorandum) in respect of the shares or quotas, as applicable, owned by (a) the Issuer in Empresa de Generación Huanza S.A., Sociedad Minera El Brocal S.A.A and Sociedad Minera Cerro Verde S.A.A.; (b) Consorcio Energético Huancavelica S.A. in Empresa de Generación Huanza S.A.; (c) Inversiones Colquijirca S.A. in Sociedad Minera El Brocal S.A.A; and (d) Compañía Minera Condesa S.A. in the Issuer and Yanacocha were to remain outstanding, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee thereof, and shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries to, carry out any necessary actions for the Notes to benefit from such Liens on a pari passu basis (the “Future Collateral”), including by causing this Indenture to be supplemented in form satisfactory to the Trustee to provide for such Future Collateral. The creation of any such future security interest shall be evidenced by Officers’ Certificates and Opinions of Counsel in form satisfactory to the Trustee. Any security documents or intercreditor agreements necessary to establish the Liens on any Future Collateral shall be detailed in any such supplemental indenture, the Issuer shall be responsible to prepare such documents, and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel from the Issuer stating that such documents are permitted pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and that all the covenants and conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of such documents under this Indenture have been complied with.

(j)

Reports.

(i)If at any point the Issuer is no longer subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, so long as any Notes are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, the Issuer shall furnish to the Holders and to prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

(2)interim unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements for the Issuer and its Subsidiaries in English prepared in accordance with IFRS (containing a consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of income, retained earnings and cash flows, and notes thereto, as of the end of and for the interim period covered thereby and the comparable interim period in the immediately preceding fiscal year), as soon as available (and in any event within sixty (60) days after the close of each fiscal quarter); provided, however, that any document publicly available in English on the Issuer’s website shall be deemed to have been furnished to the Trustee and the Holders for purposes of this provision, as long as the Trustee has been notified in writing that such document has been posted on the Issuer’s website.

(iii)Copies of the above reports shall be made available by the Issuer to a Holder upon such Holder’s written request to the Issuer. The Trustee shall have no duty to review or analyze reports delivered to it. Delivery of the above reports to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such reports shall not constitute actual or constructive notice or knowledge of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of the covenants in this Indenture (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on Officers’ Certificates). The Trustee shall have no obligation to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Issuers’ compliance with its covenants or with respect to any reports or other documents filed with the SEC or EDGAR or any website.

(iv)For so long as the Notes are listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange and the rules of the Singapore Stock Exchange so require, the Issuer shall appoint and maintain a paying agent in Singapore where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment or redemption, in the event that the global note is exchanged for individual definitive Notes. In addition, in the event that the Global Notes are exchanged for definitive certificated Notes, announcement of such exchange shall be made through the Singapore Stock Exchange and such announcement shall include all material information with respect to the delivery of the definitive certificated Notes, including details of the paying agent in Singapore.

Section 4.2Suspension of Covenants.

(a)From and after the first date following the Issue Date, or following the most recent Reversion Date, that (a) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from two out of three Rating Agencies and (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to the provisions of:

(i)

Section 4.1(c) (Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness),

(ii)

Section 4.1(d) (Limitation on Asset Sales),

(iii)

Section 4.1(g) (Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates),

(iv)

Section 4.1(e) (Limitation on Restricted Payments),

(v)Section 4.4 (Future Guarantors); provided, however, that the occurrence of the Covenant Suspension Event shall not release any of the then existing Subsidiary Guarantors from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture, except as herein or therein provided, and

(vi)Section 4.3(a)(iv) (clause (a)(iv) of Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”).

(b)In the event that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from fewer than two out of three Rating Agencies, then the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants. The period of time between the date of the Covenant Suspension Event and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.” Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period (or upon termination of the Suspension Period or after that time based solely on events that occurred during the Suspension Period).

(c)On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock issued, during the Suspension Period shall be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant

to Section 4.1(c)(i) or one of the clauses set forth in Section 4.1(c)(ii) (to the extent such Indebtedness would be permitted to be incurred or issued thereunder as of the date of the incurrence and after giving effect to Indebtedness incurred or issued prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date); provided, however, that, to the extent such Indebtedness would not be so permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.1(c)(i) or Section 4.1(c)(ii), such Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.1(c)(ii)(1). Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.1(e) shall be made as though Section 4.1(e) had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period shall reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under the Section 4.1(e)(i).

(d)The Issuer shall send written notice to the Trustee of any Covenant Suspension Event not later than five (5) business days after such Covenant Suspension Event. In the absence of such notice, the Trustee shall assume the Suspended Covenants apply and are in full force and effect. The Issuer shall send written notice to the Trustee of any occurrence of a Reversion Date not later than five (5) business days after such Reversion Date. After any such notice of the occurrence of a Reversion Date, the Trustee shall assume the Suspended Covenants apply and are in full force and effect. Failure of the Issuer to so notify the Trustee of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date shall not be a default under this Indenture. The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the ratings of the Notes, shall not be deemed to have any knowledge of the ratings of the Notes and shall have no duty to notify Holders if the Notes achieve Investment Grade Ratings.

Section 4.3Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets.

(a)The Issuer shall not, directly or indirectly: (A) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not the Issuer is the surviving Person); or (B) sell, lease, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to another Person, unless:

(i)either: (A) the Issuer is the surviving Person; or (B) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made, is a Person organized or existing under the laws of Peru, the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, any other country that is a member country of the European Union or of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development on the Issue Date;

(ii)the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuer, the “Successor Issuer”) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made assumes all the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture;

(iii)immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Successor Issuer or any Subsidiary of the

Successor Issuer as a result of such transaction as having been incurred by the Successor Issuer or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(iv)immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four fiscal quarters, either:

(1)the Issuer or the Successor Issuer would, on the date of such transaction, be permitted to incur at least U.S.$1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to both the Consolidated Net Debt to EBITDA Ratio and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio tests set forth in Section 4.1(c)(i); or

(2)(A) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Successor Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be greater than such ratio for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction, and (B) the Consolidated Net Debt to EBITDA Ratio for the Successor Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be less than such ratio for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction;

(v)the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture, if any, comply with this Indenture; and

(vi)each Subsidiary Guarantor (unless it is the other party to the transactions above, in which case Section 4.3(a)(i) shall apply), if any, shall have by supplemental indenture confirmed that its Note Guarantee shall apply to such Person’s obligations in respect of this Indenture and the Notes.

(b)This Section 4.3 shall not apply to any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of assets from a Restricted Subsidiary to the Issuer. Additionally, Section 4.3(a)(iii) and Section 4.3(a)(iv) shall not apply to the consolidation or merger of the Issuer (i) with or into any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary or the consolidation or merger of a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary with or into the Issuer or (ii) with or into an Affiliate of the Issuer solely for the purposes of reincorporating the Issuer in another jurisdiction.

(c)For purposes of this Section 4.3, the sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Issuer, which properties and assets, if held by the Issuer instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Issuer on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Issuer.

(d)The Successor Issuer shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under this Indenture, but, in the case of a lease of all or substantially all its assets, the predecessor Issuer shall not be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes.

Section 4.4Future Guarantors.

(a)If, on or after the Issue Date, (1) any Restricted Subsidiary incurs Indebtedness in an amount greater than U.S.$5,000,000 (five million) (or the equivalent in other currencies) or issues preferred stock in accordance with the provisions described under Section 4.1(c), (2) any Restricted Subsidiary Guarantees any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary in an amount greater than U.S.$5,000,000 (five million) (or the equivalent in other currencies), (3) any Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, (4) the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary acquires or creates a Significant Subsidiary that is not otherwise a Restricted Subsidiary, or (5) the Issuer determines in good faith that any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary has become a Significant Subsidiary based on the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Issuer for the periods ended June 30 and December 31 of each fiscal year provided to the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1(j) (or required to be provided thereunder), then that Restricted Subsidiary, newly acquired or created Significant Subsidiary, or the Non-Guarantor Subsidiary that the Issuer has determined in good faith that it has become a Significant Subsidiary, as applicable, must become a Subsidiary Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture and the Issuer shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as set forth herein; provided, however, that (A) such Significant Subsidiary shall not become a Subsidiary Guarantor or be required to execute any such supplemental indenture if the execution or enforcement of such supplemental indenture and the resultant Note Guarantee thereunder is prohibited by, or in violation of, any provision of any agreement to which it is party existing at the time of such acquisition or creation or becoming a Significant Subsidiary, as applicable; (B) in that case of clauses (4) and (5) above, such Significant Subsidiary’s Note Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount that would not result in a breach or violation by such Significant Subsidiary of any provision of any agreement to which it is party existing at the time of such acquisition or creation or becoming a Significant Subsidiary, as applicable; provided, further, that in respect of (A) and (B) above, such provision of any agreement was not adopted in connection with, or in contemplation of, such acquisition or creation or such Non-Guarantor Subsidiary becoming a Significant Subsidiary or to avoid guaranteeing the Notes or this Indenture, (C) such Significant Subsidiary shall not become a Subsidiary Guarantor or be required to execute any such supplemental indenture if its shares were publicly listed on the Lima Stock Exchange (Bolsa de Valores de Lima) as of the Issue Date; (D) such Significant Subsidiary shall not become a Subsidiary Guarantor or be required to execute any supplemental indenture if the execution or enforcement of such supplemental indenture and the resultant Note Guarantee thereunder is prohibited by, or in violation of, any applicable law to which such Significant Subsidiary is subject and the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to that effect; and (E) notwithstanding anything contained herein, Empresa de Generación Huanza S.A. shall not become a Subsidiary Guarantor or be required to execute any such supplemental indenture in connection with the Incurrence of any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness pursuant to which any restriction set forth in (A) above shall cease to be applicable.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of such acquisition, creation or determination, as applicable, such Significant Subsidiary has no Indebtedness, such Significant Subsidiary shall not be required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor or provide a Note Guarantee; provided, however, that if at any time thereafter, such Significant Subsidiary Incurs any Indebtedness, at the time of such Incurrence such Significant Subsidiary must become a Subsidiary Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture providing for its Subsidiary Guarantee and deliver

an Opinion of Counsel and Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee in accordance with the preceding sentence, subject to the provisos (A) and (B) therein.

(c)The Issuer shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture, promptly and in any event within ninety (90) days after each fiscal quarter (or one hundred twenty (120) days after each fiscal year in the case of the last fiscal quarter of each fiscal year), pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiaries shall irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee, on a joint and several basis, the full and prompt payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest in respect of the Notes and all other obligations under this Indenture on an unsecured, senior basis.

(d)At any time after the Issue Date, the Issuer may designate a Subsidiary Guarantor as a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary if (A) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such Non-Guarantor Designation; (B) the Issuer determines in good faith, at the time of such designation (a “Non-Guarantor Designation”), that such Subsidiary Guarantor is not a Significant Subsidiary based on the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Issuer provided to the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1(j) (or required to be provided thereunder); and (C) after giving effect to such Non-Guarantor Designation, (i) the total assets of all Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries (measured on a combined basis) as of the last day of the relevant fiscal quarter is less than 15.0% of the Issuer’s consolidated total assets, and (ii) the total Consolidated EBITDA of all Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries (measured on a combined basis) for the relevant fiscal quarter is less than 15.0% of the Issuer’s Consolidated EBITDA, in each of (C)(i) and (C)(ii) on a pro forma basis to give effect to any acquisition or disposition of companies, divisions, lines of businesses, assets or operations by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries subsequent to the last day of the relevant fiscal quarter and on or prior to the date of such Non- Guarantor Designation. All designations of Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries must be evidenced by resolutions of the Issuer’s Board of Directors and an Officers’ Certificate, delivered to the Trustee certifying compliance with this Section 4.4(c); provided, however, that all Restricted Subsidiaries which are not Subsidiary Guarantors as of the Issue Date shall initially be deemed Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries without such designation requirements. Any designation shall be automatically revoked if such Restricted Subsidiary provides a Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 4.4(c).

(e)The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its Note Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. By virtue of this limitation, a Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligation under its Note Guarantee could be significantly less than amounts payable with respect to the Notes, or a Subsidiary Guarantor may have effectively no obligation under its Note Guarantee.

(f)Each Note Guarantee shall be released in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.10.

Section 4.5Repurchase of Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event.

(a)If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, each Holder of the Notes shall have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (equal to an integral multiple of U.S.$1,000 (one thousand) with a residual, if any, greater than U.S.$200,000 (two hundred thousand)) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) made by the Issuer on the terms set forth in this Section 4.5. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer shall offer to purchase such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to be repurchased to (but excluding) the date of purchase subject to the rights of Holders of such Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date (the “Change of Control Payment”).

(b)Within thirty (30) days following a Change of Control Repurchase Event, the Issuer shall mail a notice to each Holder (with copy to the Trustee) describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase the Notes on a date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than thirty (30) days and no later than sixty

(60)days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures required by this Section 4.5 and described in such notice.

(c)

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful:

(i)accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(ii)deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

(iii)deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Issuer.

(d)The Paying Agent shall promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any. The Issuer shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

(e)The provisions described above that require the Issuer to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control Repurchase Event shall be applicable whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable. Except as set forth above in this Section 4.5 with respect to the Change of Control Offer, this Indenture does not contain provisions that permit the Holders to require that the Issuer repurchase or redeem the Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.

(f)The Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth Section 4.5

applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been given as described in Section 3.3, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.

(g)The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.5, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations hereunder by virtue of such compliance.

(h)Other existing and future indebtedness of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries may contain prohibitions on the occurrence of events that would constitute a Change of Control Repurchase Event or require that indebtedness be repurchased upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event. In addition, the exercise by the Holders of their right to require the Issuer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event may cause a default under such indebtedness even if the Change of Control Repurchase Event itself does not.

(i)If a Change of Control Offer occurs, the Issuer may not have available funds sufficient to make the Change of Control Payment for all the Notes that might be delivered by Holders seeking to accept the Change of Control Offer. In the event the Issuer is required to purchase outstanding Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, the Issuer expects that it would seek third-party financing to the extent it does not have available funds to meet its purchase obligations. However, there can be no assurance that the Issuer would be able to obtain necessary financing.

Except as otherwise provided with the respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 5.8 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 5.9 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or

in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this clause shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Note on or after the dates specified in the Notes as the fixed date on which the principal of such Note or any installment of interest on such Note is due and payable (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the redemption date).

(ii)no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor is bound;

Article VII

GUARANTEE

Section 7.1 Guarantee. Subject to the provisions of this Section 7.1, the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby fully and unconditionally guarantee, jointly and severally, to each Holder and to the Trustee the full and punctual payment (whether on an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, upon redemption, purchase pursuant to an offer to purchase or acceleration or otherwise) of the principal, premium, if any, interest, Additional Amounts and all other amounts that may come due and payable under each Note and the full and punctual payment of all other amounts payable by the Issuer under this Indenture as they come due. Upon failure by the Issuer to pay punctually any such amount, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall, without duplication, forthwith pay the amount not so paid at the place and time and in the manner specified in this Indenture. This Note Guarantee constitutes a direct, joint and several, general and unconditional primary obligation of each Subsidiary Guarantor that shall at all times rank at least pari passu with all other present and future senior unsecured obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor, except for labor, tax, social security deposits trade obligations and certain other obligations that in the case of insolvency or bankruptcy are granted preferential treatment pursuant to the laws of Peru.

Section 7.2 Guarantee Unconditional. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder are unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

(a)any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of the Issuer under this Indenture or any Note, by operation of law or otherwise;

(b)any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Indenture or any Note (other than any modification, amendment or supplement in accordance with Article IX that purports to modify, amend or supplement the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor).

(c)any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Issuer, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, plan of arrangement or other similar proceeding affecting the Issuer or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Issuer contained in this Indenture or any Note;

(d)the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which any of the Subsidiary Guarantors may have at any time against the Issuer, the Trustee or any other Person, whether in connection with this Indenture or any unrelated transactions; provided, however, that nothing herein prevents the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

(e)any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Issuer for any reason of this Indenture or any Note, or any provision of Applicable Law purporting to prohibit the payment by the Issuer of the principal of or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Issuer under this Indenture; or

(f)any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Issuer, the Trustee or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this Section 7.2, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to any of the Subsidiary Guarantors ‘ obligations hereunder.

Section 7.3 Discharge Reinstatement. The Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Issuer under this Indenture have been indefeasibly paid in full. If at any time any payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Issuer under this Indenture is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, arrangement or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise, the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

Section 7.4 Waiver by the Subsidiary Guarantors. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Issuer or any other Person. The Guarantee constitutes a Guarantee of payment and not of collection.

Section 7.5 Subrogation and Contribution. Upon making any payment with respect to any obligation of the Issuer under this Article VII, each paying Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Issuer with respect to such obligation; provided, however, that such Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of and premium, if any, interest, Additional Amounts on all Notes and any other amounts due under this Indenture shall have been paid in full.

Section 7.6 Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Issuer under this Indenture or the Notes is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Indenture are nonetheless payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Trustee.

Section 7.7 Execution and Delivery of Indenture. The execution by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors of this Indenture evidences the Note Guarantee of such Subsidiary

Guarantor, whether or not the Person signing as an officer of such Subsidiary Guarantor still holds that office at the time of authentication of any Note. Failure by any Subsidiary Guarantor to execute the Notation on Note relating to the Note Guarantee shall not affect the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee after authentication constitutes due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture.

Section 7.8 Purpose of Note Guarantee. The Issuer and the Trustee hereby acknowledge that the purpose and intent of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors in executing this Indenture and providing the Note Guarantee contained herein is to give effect to the agreement of such Subsidiary Guarantor to Guarantee the payment of any such amounts due by the Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture, whether such amounts are in respect of principal, interest or any other amounts (including Additional Amounts). Therefore, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors agrees that if the Issuer shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any principal, premium, if any, interest or any other amounts (including Additional Amounts) with respect to this Indenture and the Notes, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever. The Trustee shall promptly deposit in the account designated by the Trustee to receive payments from the Issuer with respect to the Notes any funds it receives from any of the Subsidiary Guarantors under or pursuant to this Note Guarantee in respect of the Notes.

Section 7.9 Future Subsidiary Guarantors. The Issuer shall cause any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer that (a) incurs Indebtedness or issues preferred stock in accordance with Section 4.1(c) or (b) Guarantees any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary that Guarantees any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary, in each case, after the Issue Date, to become a Subsidiary Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture promptly after it incurs such Indebtedness or Guarantee or issues such preferred stock, as the case may be. In addition, the Issuer shall cause any Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date to become a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to a supplemental indenture.

Section 7.10Release of Subsidiary Guarantees.

(a)

The Note Guarantees of a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released:

(i)upon the designation of any Subsidiary Guarantor as a Non- Guarantor Subsidiary in accordance with Section 4.4;

(ii)upon payment and satisfaction in full of all Indebtedness which required such Subsidiary Guarantor to issue a Note Guarantee in compliance with this Article VII;

(iii)in connection with any liquidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, if the sale or other disposition is in compliance with this Indenture, including Section 4.1(d);

(iv)in connection with any sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of that Subsidiary Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, that is in compliance with this Indenture;

(v)if the Issuer designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; or

(vi)upon legal defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as provided in Section 6.1 and Section 6.4.

(b)Upon written request and the receipt of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all covenants and conditions precedent under this Indenture to any such release have been complied with, the Trustee shall execute or acknowledge any such release.

Section 7.11 Sale of Assets, Consolidation or Merger. A Subsidiary Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor, unless:

(a)immediately after giving effect to that transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an Obligation of the resulting, surviving or transferee Person or any Restricted Subsidiary of such Person as a result of that transaction as having been incurred by such Person or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default or Event of Default exists;

(b)

either:

(i)the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Subsidiary Guarantor) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made (the “Successor Subsidiary Guarantor”) assumes, by supplemental indenture, all the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor under the Note Guarantee and this Indenture and, in the case of a consolidation or merger, the Successor Subsidiary Guarantor agrees to modify the provisions under Section 2.11 if necessary so that Tax Jurisdiction shall be defined to include any jurisdiction in which such Person is resident for tax purposes; or

(ii)

the transaction is made in compliance with Section 4.1(d); and

(c)the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer, such supplemental indenture and corresponding release, if any, comply with this Section 7.11.

Section 7.12 Limitation on Amount of Note Guarantee. Each Subsidiary Guarantor and, by its acceptance of the Notes, each Holder hereby confirms that it is the intention of all of them that the guarantee of the Subsidiary Guarantors not constitute a fraudulent

conveyance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the laws of Peru, the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law. To effectuate that intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under its guarantee are limited to the maximum amount that would not render the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the laws of Peru, the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law.

Article VIII

THE TRUSTEE

Section 8.1 Duties of the Trustee; Certain Rights of the Trustee.

(a)The Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.

(ii)in the absence of gross negligence and willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely as to (a) the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in and upon any statements, certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture, and as to (b) any standing orders of any certificate that has been provided to it and not replaced by a new certificate; and

(iii)the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by any of its Responsible Officers unless it shall be conclusively determined in a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the

pertinent facts, nor shall the Trustee be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the written direction of the Required Holders under, or believed by it to be authorized or permitted by, this Indenture, and shall not be liable for accepting, or acting upon, any decision made by the Holders in accordance herewith.

The Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further reasonable inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney during business hours upon reasonable notice at the sole cost of the Issuer and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

Subject to such provision for indemnification, the Required Holders shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee.

(e)Nothing in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(f)As a condition to the taking of or omitting to take any action by it hereunder, the Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action reasonably taken or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

(g)For all purposes under this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless written notice thereof (stating it is a notice of Default or Event of Default) is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be deemed to have notice of the failure of the Issuer to deliver funds (as long as the Trustee is acting as Paying Agent). The Trustee may withhold notice to the Holders of any Default except on payment or principal of, or interest, if any, on the Notes if and so long as Trustee in good faith determines that it is in the interest of the Holders to do so.

(h)Any request or direction of the Issuer to the Trustee shall be sufficiently evidenced by a written request or order signed in the name of the Issuer by an Authorized Officer. Any resolution adopted by the Issuer in connection with such a request or direction shall be sufficiently evidenced by a copy of such resolution certified by the secretary, assistant secretary or similar officer in the United States or, outside the United States, the official or Person who performs the functions that are normally performed by a secretary or assistant secretary in the United States (including, in the case of the Issuer, the Secretary or similar officer) of such Person to have been duly adopted and to be in full force and effect.

(e)If at any time the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting as trustee hereunder, or if at any time a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Trustee for any other cause, then the Issuer may appoint a qualified successor trustee. If no such successor trustee is appointed by the Issuer within thirty (30) days thereafter: (i) the Trustee’s delivery of notice of resignation, (ii) the Trustee’s receipt of notice of removal or (iii) the occurrence of such

(d)In addition to and without prejudice to its other rights hereunder, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with any Event of Default, the expenses (including the compensation of, duly documented reasonable expenses of and disbursements by its counsel) and the compensation for its services are intended to constitute administrative expenses for purposes of priority under any applicable United States federal or state or non-U.S. bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.

Section 8.11Maintenance of Agencies.

(a)The Issuer shall at all times maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and for payment thereof and where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Notes and/or this Indenture may be served. Such offices or agencies shall be initially at the Corporate Trust Office. Written notice of any change of location thereof shall be given by the Trustee to the Issuer and the Holders.

(b)The Issuer hereby initially appoints The Bank of New York Mellon, at its Corporate Trust Office, as the Trustee hereunder and The Bank of New York Mellon hereby accepts such appointment. The Trustee shall have the powers and authority granted to and conferred upon it in the Notes and hereby and such further powers and authority to act on behalf of the Issuer as may be mutually agreed upon by the Issuer and the Trustee, and the Trustee shall keep a copy of this Indenture available for inspection during normal business hours at its Corporate Trust Office.

(f)Any Authorized Agent (other than the Trustee, matters with respect to which are specified in Section 8.3(a)) may at any time resign by giving thirty (30) days’ written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Issuer. The Issuer may, and at the request of the

Required Holders shall, at any time terminate the agency of any Authorized Agent (other than the Trustee, matters with respect to which are specified in Section 8.3) by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of termination to such Authorized Agent and to the Trustee. Upon the resignation or termination of an Authorized Agent or in case at any time any such Authorized Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section 8.11 (when, in either case, no other Authorized Agent performing the functions of such Authorized Agent shall have been appointed by the Issuer), the Issuer shall promptly appoint one or more qualified successor Authorized Agents to perform the functions of the Authorized Agent that has resigned or whose agency has been terminated or who shall have ceased to be eligible under this Section 8.11.

Each co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to have a combined capital and surplus (computed in accordance with Section 310(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act) of at least U.S.$25,000,000 (twenty five million) and the Trustee shall, at the expense of the Issuer, provide prompt notice to Holders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee.

(b)Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(i)all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of the collateral or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;

Article X

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.1Payments; Currency Indemnity.

(a)Except to the extent otherwise stated herein, each payment to be made hereunder or on any Note shall be made on the required payment date in Dollars and in immediately available funds at the office of the Trustee specified in Section 10.6 or to such other office or account as may be specified by any party in a notice to the applicable sender of such payment.

(b)Except to the extent otherwise stated, Dollars are the sole currency of payment for all sums payable under or in connection with this Indenture or any Note, including

with respect to indemnities. Any amount received or recovered in a currency other than Dollars (whether as a result of, or of the enforcement of, a judgment, decree or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the winding-up or dissolution of the Issuer or otherwise) in respect of any sum expressed to be due on the Notes and under this Indenture shall only constitute a discharge of such obligation to the extent of the amount of Dollars that the payee of such amounts due is able to purchase in accordance with normal banking or other normal currency exchange procedures with the amount so received or recovered in that other currency on the date of that receipt or recovery (or, if it is not practicable to make that purchase on that date, on the first date on which it is practicable to do so). If such amount of Dollars is more than the amount expressed to be due on the Notes or under this Indenture, if applicable, then the payee shall reimburse such excess to the payor. If such amount of Dollars is less than the amount expressed to be due on the Notes or under this Indenture, if applicable, then the payor shall indemnify the payee of such amounts against any loss sustained by it as a result. In any event, the payor shall indemnify the payee of such amounts against the cost of making any such purchase. For the purposes of this Section 10.1(b), in the event the payee finds it impracticable to make a purchase on the date it receives the payment in a currency other than in Dollars, it shall be sufficient for the payee of such amounts to certify in a reasonable manner (indicating the sources of information used) that it would have suffered a loss had an actual purchase of Dollars been made with the amount so received in such other currency on the date of receipt or recovery. These indemnities constitute a separate and independent obligation from the other obligations hereunder, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by such payee and shall continue in full force and effect despite any other judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any amount due hereunder or under any Note.

Section 10.2[Reserved].

The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exhaustive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Applicable Law.

COMPAÑÍA DE MINAS BUENAVENTURA S.A.A. a sociedad anónima abierta (publicly held corporation) organized under the laws of the Republic of Peru (the “Issuer”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above.

Each Note and Additional Note shall bear interest at a rate of 5.500% per annum from the issue date of such Note or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid, as the case may be, payable semi-annually in arrears on each Payment Date commencing on January 23, 2022 until the principal thereof is paid or duly provided for.

Method of Payment

On the Business Day prior to any Payment Date and/or Maturity Date, the Issuer will deposit or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, in immediately available funds, a sum in Dollars sufficient to pay the interest (and premium and Additional Amounts, if any) due on each Note on such Interest Payment Date and/or the principal due on each Note on the Maturity Date. The Issuer shall pay the Holders defaulted interest in any lawful manner on a special record date. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date, provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 10 days before the special record date, the Issuer shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such defaulted interest to be paid.

The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of those terms. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer.

Each Holder, by accepting a Note, agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture, as amended from time to time. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. This Note is one of the Notes referred to in the Indenture.

Optional Redemption with a Make-Whole Premium

At any time prior to July 23, 2023, the Issuer may redeem any of the Notes (including any Additional Notes issued after the Issue Date) in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at its option, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice delivered to each holder’s registered address, at a “make-whole” redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes and (2) the sum of the present values at such redemption date of

(i)the redemption price of the Notes at July 23, 2023 (such redemption price being set forth in the table below under “—Optional Redemption Without a Make-Whole Premium”) and (ii) all required interest payments on the Notes through July 23, 2023 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the date of redemption), discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points; plus, in each case, any accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on such Notes to the redemption date as calculated by the Independent Investment Banker.

Optional Redemption without a Make-Whole Premium

Optional Redemption for Changes in Taxes

The Notes may be redeemed at the Issuer’s election, in whole, but not in part, upon the giving of notice as provided in the Indenture, at a price in U.S. dollars equal to the outstanding principal amount thereof, together with any Additional Amounts and accrued and unpaid interest to (but excluding) the redemption date, if, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) or treaties of Peru or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or any change in the official application, administration or interpretation of such laws, regulations, rulings or treaties in Peru that occurs after the later of the Issue Date and the date that a Tax Jurisdiction becomes a Tax Jurisdiction, the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts on the Notes in excess of the Additional Amounts that the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, would pay if payments in respect of the Notes were subject to deduction or withholding at a rate equal to the generally applicable withholding tax rate imposed by Peru as of the Issue Date and such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, taking commercially reasonable measures available to it; provided, however, that for this purpose reasonable measures shall not include any change in the Issuer’s jurisdiction of organization or location of its principal executive office (but, for the avoidance of doubt, reasonable measures may include a change in the jurisdiction of a principal paying agent but that such change shall not require the Issuer to incur material additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens), and provided, further, that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than sixty (60) days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts, were a payment in respect of the Notes then due. This notice of redemption pursuant to this provision, once delivered by us to the Holders, will be irrevocable.

Prior to the giving of notice of redemption of such Notes pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and a written opinion of recognized Peruvian counsel, independent of the Issuer and any Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the Note Guarantees, to the effect that all approvals necessary for the Issuer to effect such redemption have been or at the time of redemption will be obtained and in full force and effect and that the Issuer is entitled to effect such a redemption pursuant to the Indenture, and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the circumstances giving rise to such right of redemption.

The foregoing provisions will apply mutatis mutandis to the laws and official positions of any jurisdiction in which any successor to an Applicable Payor is organized or otherwise considered to be a resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein. The foregoing provisions will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of the Indenture.

A-9

Defeasance

Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Issuer at any time may terminate certain of its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the Issuer deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Securities for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

Amendment, Waiver

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented by the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee with the consent (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes). Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Issuer, the Trustee and, if applicable, the Subsidiary Guarantors may, among other amendments set forth in the Indenture, amend the Indenture to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of Definitive Notes, to provide for the assumption of the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations to Holders of Notes and Note Guarantees in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s assets, as applicable, or to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights of any Holder.

Defaults and Remedies

In the case of an Event of Default arising and continuing from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to the Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.

Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.
