In such a case, the Trustee shall draw under the Acceptable Credit Support Instrument such amount (up to the aggregate undrawn amount of such Acceptable Credit Support Instrument) as may be necessary to make the full amount of such required payment or transfer. In addition, (i) at any time after receipt by the Trustee of a Borrower Enforcement Direction, the Trustee shall draw under such Acceptable Credit Support Instrument(s) specified in such Enforcement Direction, in the amounts and at the times specified in such Enforcement Direction and (ii) at any time (A) that any Acceptable Credit Support Instrument is scheduled to expire during the following fifteen (15) Business Days and (B) no Acceptable Credit Support Instrument, with a later expiry date and in a face amount greater than or equal to the undrawn amount of the expiring Acceptable Credit Support Instrument has been delivered to the Trustee in replacement therefor, the Trustee shall draw under the Acceptable Credit Support Instrument so expiring, the full undrawn amount of such Acceptable Credit Support Instrument.

(a) Unless a Borrower Event of Default shall be Continuing, the Trustee shall invest funds (and vary and redeem such investments) in the Proceeds Account and its Sub-Accounts, as directed by the Borrower, and the Borrower shall have the right to cause the investment of funds in the Onshore Accounts, provided in each case that such investment is a Permitted Investment. During the Continuance of a Borrower Event of Default, investments in Permitted Investments shall be made as directed by the Administrative Agent (acting upon instructions from the Majority Lenders) or as directed by the Borrower if the Administrative Agent (acting upon instructions from the Majority Lenders) so agrees. (b) Whenever the Trustee is directed or authorized in accordance with the terms hereof to make a transfer of funds among Accounts or Sub-Accounts, after application of all other available funds, the Trustee shall allocate to the Account or Sub-Account to which such funds are to be transferred a portion of any Permitted Investment that would otherwise have to be liquidated to accomplish such transfer in an amount corresponding to the amount to be so transferred. Whenever the Trustee is directed or authorized in accordance with the terms hereof to make a transfer of funds from the Accounts (unless such transfer is between Accounts or Sub-Accounts), if, after application of all other available funds, liquidation of a Permitted Investment is necessary to make any such transfer, the Trustee is authorized to liquidate such Permitted Investment. If any Permitted Investment so liquidated is then allocated to more than one Account or Sub-Account, and it is not possible to liquidate only the portion of such Permitted Investment allocated to the Account or Sub-Account from which such transfer is to be made, then the entire Permitted Investment shall be liquidated, and the proceeds of such liquidation shall be allocated to the Accounts or Sub-Accounts involved in the same proportion as the allocation of such Permitted Investment, except that the net costs and expenses, if any, of such liquidation (including any loss of principal) shall be allocated entirely to the Account or Sub-Account from which the transfer of funds was required to be made. The Trustee shall liquidate all those Permitted Investments which can be liquidated without interest cost or penalty before it shall liquidate any Permitted Investment, the liquidation of which would involve an interest cost or penalty. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any interest cost or penalty on the liquidation of any Permitted Investment pursuant to this Section 4.20(b). (c) The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to Permitted Investments (or any losses resulting therefrom) made at the direction of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of this Section 4.20. (d) All references in this Agreement to the Accounts and to cash, moneys or funds therein or balances thereof shall include the investments in which such moneys are then invested. 28 (e) The Trustee may execute any investment instruction provided to it in respect of the Permitted Investments through its Affiliates, and neither the Trustee nor its Affiliates shall have a duty to monitor the investment rating of any such Permitted Investments. The Trustee will have no obligation to invest or reinvest any funds if all or a portion of such funds are deposited with the Trustee after 4:00 p.m. New York time on the day of deposit. Instructions to invest or reinvest that are received after 4:00 p.m. New York time will be treated as if received on the following business day in New York. The Trustee will have the power to sell or liquidate Permitted Investments whenever the Trustee will be required to make a transfer pursuant to the terms hereof. The Trustee will have no responsibility for any investment losses resulting from the investment, reinvestment or liquidation of any funds. Any interest or other income received on Permitted Investments will become part of the trust funds held by the Trustee in accordance with the terms hereof and will be deemed to be funds of the Borrower for U.S. tax purposes. If a selection is not made, the balance standing to the credit of the Proceeds Account will remain uninvested with no liability for interest therein. It is agreed and understood that the Trustee may earn fees associated with Permitted Investments. 4.21 Currencies. Unless a Borrower Event of Default shall be Continuing, all exchanges or purchases of currencies, including currency conversions in connection with transfers of funds between an Onshore Account denominated in Dollars and an Onshore Account denominated in Nuevos Soles (or vice versa), shall be directed by the Borrower. In the event that the Borrower directs the Onshore Collateral Agent to make such exchange or purchase, the Onshore Collateral Agent shall effect such exchange or purchase as directed, and the cost and expense of all such transactions shall be for the account of the Borrower. The Onshore Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for any losses occurring as the result of any conversions, exchanges or purchases of currencies hereunder unless such loss was the result of the Onshore Collateral Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. During the Continuance of a Borrower Event of Default, foreign exchange transactions shall be made as directed by the Administrative Agent (acting upon instructions from the Majority Lenders), or as directed by the Borrower if the Administrative Agent (acting upon instructions from the Majority Lenders) so agrees. 4.22 Interest. Any interest or other earnings accrued on any balances in any Account or Sub-Account, or on any investment thereof, shall be credited to and accumulated in such Account or Sub-Account and thereafter be applied without differentiation from other funds in such Account or Sub-Account. 4.23 Reports to the Borrower and the Senior Lenders. (a) The Trustee shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent a report with respect to the Proceeds Account and its Sub-Accounts, setting forth in reasonable detail all deposits to and disbursements from such Account and Sub-Accounts, including the date on which made, and the balances of and any investments in such Account and Sub-Accounts.

The Offshore Collateral Agent shall credit such amount to the Proceeds Account and the Onshore Collateral Agent shall credit such amount to the Onshore Dollars Account (in the case of U.S.$) or to the Onshore Nuevos Soles Account (in the case of Nuevos Soles) until such time as they receive instructions from the Administrative Agent stating that such amount should be credited to another Account in accordance with this Agreement, in which case they shall credit such amount to the Account designated by the Administrative Agent.

Each Appointed Party shall have no duties other than those specifically set forth or provided for in this Agreement and each other Financing Document to which it is a party and no implied covenants or obligations of such Appointed Party shall be read into this Agreement or any other Financing Document or any related agreement to which it is a party. Each Appointed Party shall have no obligation to familiarize itself with and shall have no responsibility with respect to any other agreement or document relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Financing Documents (except to the extent that action authorized or required to be taken by such Appointed Party hereunder or under any other Financing Document to which it is a party reasonably requires such Appointed Party so to familiarize itself) nor any obligation to inquire whether any notice, certificate, instrument, demand, request, direction, instruction, waiver, receipt, consent, document, communication, 50 statement or calculation is in conformity with the terms of any such other agreement, except those irregularities or errors manifestly apparent on the face of such document or actually known to such Appointed Party.

(b) Each Appointed Party may be removed hereunder and under the other Financing Documents by an instrument in writing signed by the Administrative Agent (acting pursuant to a Supermajority Vote) and, if no Borrower Event of Default has occurred and is Continuing, the Borrower. (c) Upon resignation or removal of an Appointed Party, a successor (i) if no Borrower Event of Default has been declared and is Continuing, shall be proposed by the Borrower and, if consented to by the Administrative Agent (acting upon instructions from the Majority Lenders), shall be appointed by the relevant Appointing Parties, or (ii) if a Borrower Event of Default has been declared and is Continuing, or if the Borrower fails within 30 days after receipt of notice of the resignation or removal of such Appointed Party to propose a successor, shall be appointed by the Administrative Agent (acting upon instructions from the Majority Lenders). (d) No resignation or removal of an Appointed Party and no appointment of a successor shall be effective until (i) the successor has accepted its appointment and (ii) all indemnities, compensation and expenses required by Sections 7.07 and 7.08 hereof shall have been paid or provided. (e) If no successor to an Appointed Party shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the date fixed for such resignation or such removal, the Appointed Party that has resigned or is removed may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may prescribe, appoint a successor. Any court-appointed successor Appointed Party shall automatically be replaced by a successor Appointed Party subsequently appointed by relevant MPA Parties pursuant to this Section 7.06. Any successor appointed pursuant to this Section 7.06 shall be (i) in the case of the Onshore Collateral Agent, a bank or trust company organized under the laws of Peru having its principal corporate trust office in Lima and a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$100,000,000 and (ii) in the case of the Administrative Agent, a bank or trust company having a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$200,000,000 and (iii) in the case of any other Appointed Party, a bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States or of the State of New York having its principal 51 corporate trust office in The City of New York and a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$200,000,000. (f) Any successor to an Appointed Party shall evidence its acceptance of its appointment hereunder by executing and delivering to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent an instrument accepting its appointment for its role hereunder and under the other Financing Documents, and thereupon such successor Appointed Party, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder and under the other Financing Documents with like effect as if originally named as Appointed Party herein and therein in lieu of its predecessor, and such predecessor shall have no further obligation or liability thereunder except for liability with respect to its acts or omissions prior to such succession pursuant to Section 7.03 hereof; nevertheless, on the request of any party hereto or such successor Appointed Party, the Appointed Party ceasing to act as such shall execute and deliver instruments transferring to such successor all of its rights and powers hereunder and under the other Financing Documents, including, if applicable, any such instruments necessary to transfer the Accounts to such successor Appointed Party, and shall deliver to such successor Appointed Party all property held by it in trust hereunder. 7.07 Indemnity. (a) Without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under Section 12.21 of the MPA and without duplication thereof, the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agents, and to hold each of them and their officers, directors, agents and employees harmless against, any loss, liability, claim, judgment, settlement, compromise, obligation, damage, penalty, or reasonable cost, expense and disbursement of any kind or nature whatsoever (collectively, "Losses") with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, and each other Financing Document, unless arising from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Appointed Party, or the officers, directors, agents and employees that are seeking indemnification, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself and themselves against any claim of liability in the premises. (b) Each of the Senior Lenders, ratably in accordance with its pro rata share of the then aggregate Outstanding Advance Amount, agrees to indemnify the Trustee, the Collateral Agents and the Administrative Agent and to hold each of them and their officers, directors, agents and employees harmless against any loss, liability, claim, judgment, settlement, compromise, obligation, damage, penalty or reasonable cost, expense and disbursement of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, unless arising from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Appointed Party, as the case may be, or the officers, directors, agents and employees that are seeking indemnification, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself and themselves against any claim of liability in the premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Peruvian Bondholder shall be required to make any out of pocket disbursement on account of such indemnification obligation. 52 (c) As security for such payment and the payments referred to in this Section 7.07, the Collateral Agents shall have a lien equal to the Senior Loans upon all Collateral and other property and funds held or collected by each Collateral Agent as part of the trust established hereunder. Upon its resignation or removal, each Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the prompt payment by the Borrower of its compensation and indemnification for the services rendered under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, and to reimbursement of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses up to the date of resignation or removal (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, if any) incurred in connection with the performance of such services. (d) The indemnification provision for the benefit of the Appointed Parties acting in such capacity shall survive the termination of the other provisions of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of such Appointed Party. 7.08 Compensation. Each Appointed Party shall be entitled to such compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as may be agreed from time to time between the Borrower, the Administrative Agent acting pursuant to a Supermajority Vote and such Appointed Party for all services rendered under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, and such compensation, together with reimbursement for disbursements and expenses in connection with the performance by such Appointed Party of its role (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and of counsel, accountants, engineers and other experts referred to in Section 7.04 hereof), shall be paid by the Borrower (free and clear of and without deduction by reason of any Peruvian taxes or other impositions). 7.09 Certificates. Whenever an Appointed Party shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established in connection with taking or omitting any action by it hereunder or under any other Financing Document, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Appointed Party, be deemed to be conclusively proved or established by a certificate of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent acting pursuant to instructions from the Requisite Lenders (determined based on the underlying matter) delivered to such Appointed Party. 7.10 Merger of Appointed Party. Any corporation into which an Appointed Party shall be merged, or with which it shall be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which an Appointed Party shall be a party, shall replace such Appointed Party under each Financing Document without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the MPA Parties and the disappearing Appointed Party shall promptly give the Administrative Agent and the Borrower notice thereof; provided such resulting or surviving corporation, as the case may be, shall immediately resign as an Appointed Party hereunder if it would not have been eligible to act as a successor to the disappearing Appointed Party in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.06 hereof. 53 7.11 Appointed Parties in Their Individual Capacity. Each Appointed Party may make loans to the Borrower, including Senior Facility Loans, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower as though such Appointed Party were not an Appointed Party hereunder and under the other Financing Documents. 7.12 Miscellaneous. (a) In the event of any disagreement among the Appointing Parties arising in circumstances where an Appointed Party is to take or refrain from taking any action under this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement, if the terms of this Agreement or the relevant Financing Agreement do not unambiguously mandate the action the Appointed Party is to take or not to take under the circumstances then existing, or if the Appointed Party is in doubt as to what action it is required to take or not to take or as to how to take any such action, the Appointed Party shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action until directed otherwise in writing by (i) (x) in the case of the Trustee, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent acting pursuant to instructions from the Requisite Lenders (determined based on the underlying matter) prior to a Borrower Event of Default or the Administrative Agent acting pursuant to instructions from the Requisite Lenders (determined based on the underlying matter) after a Borrower Event of Default and (y) in the case of any other Appointed Party, the Administrative Agent acting pursuant to instructions from the Requisite Lenders (determined based on the underlying matter) (unless inconsistent with any direction of a court of competent jurisdiction) or (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction, and the Appointed Party shall not, in each case, incur any liability in acting or refraining from acting on ambiguous instructions or until otherwise directed in writing in accordance with this Section 7.12. (b) None of the provisions of any Financing Document shall be construed to require any Appointed Party to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder. No Appointed Party shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by any Financing Document at the request or direction of its Appointing Parties, unless such Appointed Party shall have been offered security or indemnity or other arrangement to reimburse reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction (including interest thereon from the time incurred until reimbursed). 7.13 Exculpatory Provisions. The Offshore Collateral Agent and the Onshore Collateral Agent make no representations as to the value or condition of the trust created hereunder or any part thereof, or as to the title of the Borrower thereto, or as to the rights and interests granted or the security afforded by this Agreement or any other Financing Document, or (except by or with respect to itself) as to the validity, execution, enforceability, legality or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other Financing Document or the Senior Facility Loans secured hereby, and each of the Offshore Collateral Agent and the Onshore Collateral Agent (in its individual and trust capacities) shall incur no liability or responsibility in respect of any such matters. 54 7.14 Miscellaneous. (a) In the absence of actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Offshore Collateral Agent or the Onshore Collateral Agent, the Offshore Collateral Agent or the Onshore Collateral Agent, as the case may be, will not be deemed to have knowledge of any Borrower Event of Default, unless notified thereof in writing by the Borrower or any Secured Party. (b) The rights, benefits, privileges and immunities given to the Offshore Collateral Agent hereunder shall extend to, and be enforceable by, the Trustee and by each agent attorney or other Person employed to act hereunder. (c) In any circumstance where a Collateral Agent is required to exercise discretion, approve documentation, release Collateral or distribute proceeds under any Financing Document, the Collateral Agent may, at its option, seek to obtain instructions or directions from the Administrative Agent with respect to such action. If a Collateral Agent so elects, then it may refrain from taking such action until such directions or instructions are received and shall have no liability to the Secured Parties or the Borrower for so refraining. (d) Anything in the Financing Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agents be liable under or in connection with the Financing Documents for indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever. (e) In no event shall the Trustee, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agents be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including without limitation strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of god, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agents shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. 7.15 Assignment of Rights, Not Assumption of Duties. Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Secured Parties shall be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Borrower under any of the Financing Documents to which the Borrower is a party or, except as expressly provided herein with respect to the Trustee, the Administrative Agent or the Onshore Collateral Agents to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder or otherwise. 7.16 Appointment of Sub-Agent of the Offshore Collateral Agent or the Onshore Collateral Agent.

PURPOSE AND TERM OF THE MINING PLEDGE 3.1 Pursuant to Article 178 et seq. of the General Mining Law and Articles 1055 and 1057 of the Civil Code, the Borrower, as the sole and exclusive owner of the Core Mining Concessions, hereby grants a first and preferential ranking mining floating pledge (the "Mining Pledge") over (i) all minerals extracted from the Mines and located within the internal boundaries of any of the Core Mining Concessions without any limitation, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include mineral in any form until it is transformed into 3 cathode and/or concentrate (the "Mineral"); and (ii) all inventory of copper cathodes and copper concentrates to be produced by the Borrower that is extracted from the Mines which are located within the internal boundaries of any of the Core Mining Concessions without any limitation ("Cathode and Concentrate") in favor of the Onshore Collateral Agent, for the benefit and on behalf of the Secured Parties, as security for the timely and full payment or prepayment by the Borrower of the Secured Obligations. This Mining Pledge extends, without any limitation, to any and all (i) Mineral and (ii) inventories of Cathode and Concentrate, if any, from time to time. 3.2 The Mineral shall become subject to the Mining Pledge automatically upon its extraction from the Mines or beneficiation, and shall continue to be subject to this Mining Pledge whether such Mineral is at field, in transit or in treatment. 3.3 The Cathode and Concentrate shall become subject to the Mining Pledge once processed from the Mineral and shall continue to be subject to this Mining Pledge whether such Cathode and Concentrate is in the Mines' facilities, being processed or in transit. 3.4 Considering the fungible nature of the Mineral and Cathode and Concentrate, this Mining Pledge is granted as a floating lien. Accordingly, the Mineral and Cathode and Concentrate shall be automatically released from the Mining Pledge upon its sale or other disposition and delivery by the Borrower to the respective buyer or its agent. The Onshore Collateral Agent hereby undertakes, promptly upon the Borrower's request, to execute and deliver any and all documents that may be required, if any, to formalize such release. 3.5 This Mining Pledge secures the Secured Obligations of the Borrower with the Secured Parties on a pari passu basis. Accordingly, all Secured Parties shall share on the security interest created herein as well as on any and all proceeds resulting from the enforcement thereof as contemplated in Section 12. 3.6 The Onshore Collateral Agent shall be the only party entitled to exercise any and all rights and prerogatives hereunder, including without limitation any Borrower Enforcement Action, and shall exercise such rights and prerogatives solely in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Master Security Agreement. 4. LIEN'S AMOUNT 4.1 The Parties hereby agree that the amount of the lien created by this Mining Pledge is the total amount of the Secured Obligations, which principal amount is an amount not to exceed Four Hundred and Fifty Million Dollars of the United States of America (US$ 450,000,000.00), plus all applicable interest, expenses and fees as well as any and all costs and expenses ("costas y costos") in the event that the foreclosure of the Guaranty is necessary (the "Lien's Amount"). 4 4.2 The Parties hereby agree that: (a) the total amount secured by this Mining Pledge shall include any amount which may be payable to the Secured Parties pursuant to Section 4.1; and (b) the Lien's Amount shall not limit in any manner the exercise by the Onshore Collateral Agent of its rights and/or remedies pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the relevant provisions of the Master Security Agreement. 4.3 The Borrower and the Onshore Collateral Agent may agree, from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions of the Master Security Agreement, to reduce the Lien's Amount under this Mining Pledge in accordance with Articles 1083 and 1115 of the Civil Code, provided that the Lien's Amount resulting from such reduction fully covers its Secured Obligations. Accordingly, the Onshore Collateral Agent, for the benefit and on behalf of the Secured Parties, subject to the terms and conditions of the Master Security Agreement, hereby undertakes to execute and deliver any and all documents and public deeds that may be required in order to reflect such reduction promptly upon the agreement of the Borrower and the Onshore Collateral Agent. The Borrower hereby waives its right under Articles 1083 and 1116 of the Civil Code to request any judge for the reduction of the Lien's Amount. 4.4 The Borrower hereby waives its right under Article 1073 of the Civil Code to request any judge for the substitution of this Mining Pledge. 5. EXTENT OF THE MINING PLEDGE 5.1 This Mining Pledge comprises, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each and every right and asset, which by fact or by law pertains to the Mineral and Cathode and Concentrate including, without limitation, all insurance and expropriation compensations that the Borrower may be entitled to for any loss, destruction, deterioration or expropriation of any of the foregoing. 5.2 The Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that the Borrower shall remain in possession of any and all Mineral and Cathode and Concentrate and is entitled to process, treat, dispose of and/or sell any or all of such Mineral and Cathode and Concentrate which is extracted, produced and acquired from the Mines pursuant to any contract, agreement or understanding, currently existing or that the Borrower may enter into in the future, for the sale thereof. As provided in Section 3.4, all Mineral and Cathode and Concentrate that is sold pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be automatically released from this Mining Pledge. 5.3 This Mining Pledge is granted exclusively in favor of the Onshore Collateral Agent for the benefit and on behalf of the Secured Parties. 5 6. INDIVISIBILITY OF THE GUARANTY 6.1 This Mining Pledge and the Guaranty subject hereto (as a whole or considering its individual parts) are indivisible and are intended to secure the timely and full payment or prepayment by the Borrower of the Secured Obligations. 6.2 Except to the extent set forth in Section 10, this Mining Pledge shall remain in force and effect until the earlier of (i) all the Secured Obligations have been paid or prepaid in full, even if this Mining Pledge and/or the Guaranty is divided or (ii) so long as the Senior Facility Loans Obligations have been paid or prepaid in full, the Borrower, with the consent of the Onshore Collateral Agent, seeks to terminate this Agreement as contemplated under Section 7.03 of the Peruvian Bonds Indenture. 7.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 8.1 As of the date hereof, the Borrower makes the following representations and warranties to the Onshore Collateral Agent: (a) It is the sole and exclusive owner of or has legal title to the Mineral and Cathode and Concentrate, as applicable, and it has therefore full right, power, and authority to enter into this Agreement without violating any contractual, legal, or other obligation to any entity or person; (b) Upon registration, this Mining Pledge will create a first and preferential ranking mining floating pledge over the Mineral and Cathode and Concentrate; and 6 (c) The Mineral and Cathode and Concentrate, as the case may be, are free from any lien and encumbrance other than this Mining Pledge and are not subject to any judicial or extra-judicial measure that in any way may limit its free ownership and availability. 9. FORECLOSURE OF THE GUARANTY 9.1 Foreclosure and enforcement of the Guaranty shall only be made in accordance with the terms of the Master Security Agreement and this Section 9. 9.2 Upon receipt by the Onshore Collateral Agent of an instruction from the Administrative Agent to take a Borrower Enforcement Action with respect to the Guaranty pursuant to the terms of the Master Security Agreement, the Onshore Collateral Agent shall have the right to proceed to foreclose upon the Guaranty. Such foreclosure upon the Guaranty shall take place in accordance with either of the procedures set forth in (a) and (b) below: (a) Private Sale The Guaranty may be foreclosed upon in whole or in part through a direct sale or a public or private auction procedure in accordance with Article 183 of the General Mining Law and Article 1069 of the Civil Code. Such sale or auction shall be carried out by the Onshore Collateral Agent, acting as instructed by the Administrative Agent, in a commercially reasonable manner.

The Onshore Collateral Agent shall provide no less than twenty (20) days notice in advance of such auction, which such notice shall include an identification of the designated auctioneer.

The Onshore Collateral Agent shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights, prerogatives and actions permitted by this Agreement, the Master Security Agreement or applicable Peruvian law. (c) Assessment of the Guaranty Subject to the following paragraph, for all purposes concerning the enforcement of the Guaranty, considering the commodity nature of the Mineral and Cathode and Concentrate, the value of the Mineral and Cathode and Concentrate being foreclosed upon shall be that which results from the market price thereof at the time of the direct sale or initiation of the auction proceeding. Upon a Borrower Event of Default and while it is Continuing, the Onshore Collateral Agent shall have the right to request an appraisal of the Guaranty, which appraisal shall be performed by any one of the pre-approved appraisers listed in Exhibit 2 or any other appraiser agreed to by the Parties, in which case for all purposes concerning the enforcement of the Guaranty the aggregate value of the Mineral and Cathode and Concentrate being foreclosed upon shall be the aggregate value thereof as determined by such appraiser in such appraisal. If the Guaranty is foreclosed upon through a judicial procedure as referred to in Section 9.2(b), the equivalent of 2/3 of the above mentioned amount (as appraised) shall serve as the basic value of the Mineral and Cathode and Concentrate being foreclosed upon for the first auction undertaken within such foreclosure proceeding, subsequently reducing said value, according to law, for any subsequent auctions, as the case may be. 9.3 The Borrower hereby waives its right to make any claim in connection with the foreclosure upon the Guaranty against the Onshore Collateral Agent to the extent that the Onshore Collateral Agent fully complies with the procedure for foreclosure set forth in this Section 9 and the relevant provisions of the Master Security Agreement. 10. OBLIGATION OF THE ONSHORE COLLATERAL AGENT The Onshore Collateral Agent hereby covenants and agrees to promptly release this Mining Pledge, and to take all actions necessary to formalize such release, in the event that (i) prior to the occurrence of the Closing Date and prior to the issuance of any Peruvian Bonds, the Borrower terminates and reduces all Commitments to zero, or (ii) this Mining Pledge no longer remains in full force and effect as provided in Section 6.2. 8 11. ASSIGNMENT AND RELEASE OF THE MINING PLEDGE 11.1 The Borrower hereby expressly grants its prior written consent, in accordance with Article 1435 of the Civil Code, to the assignment of this Agreement ("cesion de posicion contractual") by the Onshore Collateral Agent to any successor or assign of the Onshore Collateral Agent appointed by the Senior Lenders pursuant to the Master Security Agreement. 11.2 The release of the Mining Pledge over the Mineral and Cathode and Concentrate requires express and written confirmation by the Onshore Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and must be formalized by means of a public deed recorded with the applicable Public Registry.

Borrower and Onshore Collateral Agent are referred collectively herein as the "Parties" and individually as a "Party". This instrument is executed under the terms and conditions stated below: 1. PREAMBLE 1.1 The Borrower has legal title over certain mining concessions granted by the pertinent Peruvian Governmental Authorities for the operation of the Cerro Verde copper mine, including a copper leaching and solution extraction/electrowinning (SX/EW) operation, located in the Districts of Uchumayo and Yarabamba, Province of Arequipa, Peru. 1.2 The board of directors of the Borrower has approved the development of a primary sulfide ore body beneath the oxide ore body currently in production (the "Sulfide Project"), for which purposes the Borrower intends to obtain financing in an approximate amount of Four Hundred and Fifty Million Dollars of the United States of America (US$ 450,000,000.00). 1.3 The Borrower has entered into a Master Participation Agreement among the Borrower, the Senior Facility Lenders, the Lead JBIC Arrangers, the Global Coordinators, the Lead Arrangers and the Administrative Agent in order to set forth the general financing arrangement for the Sulfide Project. 1.4 The Borrower has entered into: (i) the JBIC Loan Agreement with JBIC; (ii) the KfW Loan Agreement with KfW; and (iii) the Commercial Banks Loan Agreement with the Commercial Banks, which establish the commitment to lend to the 1 Borrower undertaken by each of these financial institutions in accordance with the Master Participation Agreement. 1.5 The Borrower intends to issue the Peruvian Bonds in the Peruvian market through a bond program in order to complete the financing that it requires for the development of the Sulfide Project. 1.6 The Borrower has entered into a Master Security Agreement among the Borrower, the Senior Facility Lenders, the Lead JBIC Arrangers, the Global Coordinators, the Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Trustee, the Offshore Collateral Agent and the Onshore Collateral Agent in order to set forth, among other things, the terms of the security interests to be granted by the Borrower in favor of the Onshore Collateral Agent, who acts for the benefit and on behalf of the Secured Parties, to secure the timely and full payment or prepayment of the Secured Obligations. The Senior Lenders have appointed Citibank del Peru S.A. as Onshore Collateral Agent in the Master Security Agreement. The intent of the parties to the Master Security Agreement is that, prior to the first issuance of the Peruvian Bonds, the Common Representative will enter into a New Party Accession Agreement and thereupon the Peruvian Bondholders acting through the Common Representative will, collectively, have all of the rights and obligations of a Senior Lender under the Master Security Agreement, including, without limitation, the right of the Common Representative, on behalf of the Peruvian Bondholders, to benefit as a Senior Lender from the security to be granted by the Borrower to the Secured Parties pursuant to the Master Security Agreement and the other Security Documents, including, without limitation, the conditional assignment of rights granted under this Agreement. 1.7 Pursuant to the Master Security Agreement, the Borrower has agreed to conditionally assign all of its rights under the Domestic Sales Agreements in favor of the Onshore Collateral Agent for the benefit and on behalf of the Secured Parties, as security for the Borrower's full payment or prepayment of the Secured Obligations, on the terms and conditions set forth herein. 1.8 The Borrower and the Onshore Collateral Agent have entered into this Agreement for the purpose of materializing the commitments assumed by the Borrower as described in Section 1.7. 2. INTERPRETATION 2.1 The Exhibits hereto form part of this Agreement and shall have the same force and effect as if set out in the body of this Agreement and any reference to this Agreement shall include the Exhibits hereto. 2 2.2 Unless the context shall otherwise require, or unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning assigned to them in Schedule Z to the Master Security Agreement which is incorporated herein by reference. 3. PURPOSE 3.1. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower hereby conditionally assigns in favor of the Onshore Collateral Agent, for the benefit and on behalf of the Secured Parties, as security for the Borrower's full payment or prepayment of the Secured Obligations, all of the Borrower's credit rights in all Domestic Sales Agreements that exist as of the date hereof, if any, and that the Borrower may enter into following the date hereof, which credit rights consist of the Borrower's rights to receive any current and future payments, whether determined or to be determined, pursuant to any and all Domestic Sales Agreements, including, but not limited to, price, interest, fees, penalties, compensations, indemnities and any other monetary amounts. 3.2. The Borrower shall remain liable to perform all its obligations pursuant to and with respect to each Domestic Sales Agreement, and the Onshore Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation in respect thereof or be under any liability in the event of a failure by the Borrower to perform its obligations in respect thereof. 3.3 The Parties acknowledge and declare that the conditional assignment of rights granted hereunder has the purpose of serving as security for the Secured Obligations, and shall not be considered as a payment by the Borrower of the Secured Obligations. 4. EFFECTIVENESS OF THE ASSIGNMENT 4.1 With respect to any Domestic Sales Agreement that (i) has a term of three (3) years or more and (ii) contemplates annual sales of at least 50,000 dry short tons of Cathodes or Concentrate (each, a "Notice Sales Agreement"), concurrently with or within three (3) Peruvian Business Days of entering into any such Notice Sales Agreement, the Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided notice to the applicable Buyer either (A) through the delivery of a written notice of conditional assignment substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the "Notice of Conditional Assignment") through notarial notification, which Notice of Conditional Assignment shall instruct the applicable Buyer to pay all Proceeds from such Domestic Sales directly into the Onshore Dollars Account and shall expressly indicate that such assignment shall become effective with respect to such Buyer upon the delivery of a notice of effectiveness by the Onshore Collateral Agent to such Buyer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2 (the "Notice of Effectiveness"), or (B) through an acknowledgment and consent substantially in the 3 form attached hereto as Exhibit 3 (the "Domestic Buyer's Acknowledgement") to the effect that such Buyer has received notice from the Borrower of the conditional assignment of the Notice Sales Agreement that such Buyer will pay all Proceeds from such Domestic Sales directly into the Onshore Dollars Account and that such assignment shall become effective with respect to such Buyer upon the delivery of a notice of effectiveness by the Onshore Collateral Agent to such Buyer substantially in the form attached as Annex A to Exhibit 3 hereto. The Borrower shall deliver to the Onshore Collateral Agent a copy certified by a notary public of each Notice of Conditional Assignment or Domestic Buyer's Acknowledgement, as the case may be, within three (3) Peruvian Business Days following its delivery. 4.2 Upon receipt by the Onshore Collateral Agent of an instruction from the Administrative Agent to take a Borrower Enforcement Direction with respect to the assignment of rights granted under this Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Master Security Agreement, the Onshore Collateral Agent shall proceed to deliver the relevant Notices of Effectiveness through notarial notification, in each case with copy to the Borrower. The assignment of rights granted under this Agreement shall become effective vis-a-vis each applicable Buyer upon the delivery thereto of the relevant Notice of Effectiveness. 4.3 The Borrower shall immediately inform the Onshore Collateral Agent of any change of address that may have been communicated thereto by any Buyer. 4.4 Because the conditional assignment of rights granted under this Agreement shall become effective vis-a-vis each applicable Buyer only upon the delivery thereto of the relevant Notice of Effectiveness, notwithstanding the instructions provided by the Borrower to, or acknowledged by, the applicable Buyers under Notice Sales Agreements as set forth herein to cause all Proceeds from Domestic Sales to be made directly into the Onshore Dollars Account, the Borrower shall continue to be considered the title holder of the rights conditionally assigned hereunder until the delivery to the Borrower of copy of the Notice of Effectiveness and shall be fully entitled to exercise such rights without limitation until the occurrence of such delivery. 5. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE ASSIGNMENT 5.1 Except as set forth in Section 8, the conditional assignment of rights granted hereunder shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the Borrower's full payment or prepayment of the Secured Obligations or (ii) so long as the Senior Facility Loans Obligations have been paid or prepaid in full, the Borrower, with the consent of the Onshore Collateral Agent, seeks to terminate this Agreement as contemplated under Section 7.03 of the Peruvian Bonds Indenture, and either such termination shall be effected by means of a joint written notification to be sent by the Borrower and the Onshore Collateral Agent to the applicable Buyers so indicating. The Onshore 4 Collateral Agent undertakes to make such notification acting as instructed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.03 of the Master Security Agreement and immediately upon the request of the Borrower. 5.2 According to Article 1211 of Civil Code, upon its effectiveness, the assignment of the Borrower's rights shall include the transmission to the Onshore Collateral Agent of all of the privileges, guaranties and accessory rights that may exist in relation to the assigned rights. 5.3 Neither the conditional assignment of rights granted hereunder nor, upon its effectiveness, the assignment of the Borrower's rights shall be understood as an assignment of Borrower's contractual position in the Domestic Sales Agreements, and thus the Onshore Collateral Agent does not assume any obligation thereunder. 6. OBLIGATION OF THE BORROWER Notwithstanding all other obligations set forth in this Agreement, the Borrower hereby undertakes to enter into any agreement and deliver any notice reasonably necessary to effect the conditional assignment of the rights granted hereunder and, upon its effectiveness, the assignment thereof with all its privileges, warranties and accessory rights, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to enter into any such agreement or deliver any such notice, including, without limitation, a Notice of Conditional Assignment or any other notice to any Buyer with respect to Domestic Sales Agreements that are not Notice Sales Agreements. 7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE BORROWER 7.1 As the date hereof, the Borrower makes the following representations and warranties to the Onshore Collateral Agent: (a) The Borrower is and will be the only title holder of the conditionally assigned rights and is and will be entitled to assign such rights, and therefore it has the full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement without violating any contractual, legal, or other obligation to any entity or person; and (b) The conditionally assigned rights are not subject to any prior lien or encumbrance that could limit its ability to assign such rights in favor of the Onshore Collateral Agent. 5 8. OBLIGATION OF THE ONSHORE COLLATERAL AGENT The Onshore Collateral Agent hereby covenants and agrees to promptly release the conditional assignment granted under this Agreement over all of the Borrower's rights under all Domestic Sales Agreements, and to take all actions necessary to formalize such release, in the event that (i) prior to the occurrence of the Closing Date and prior to the issuance of any Peruvian Bonds, the Borrower terminates and reduces all Commitments to zero, or (ii) the conditional assignment of rights granted hereunder has terminated as provided in Section 5.1. 9. NOTICES Any notice, request, demand, consent, designation, direction, instruction, certificate and other required communications to be given hereunder between the Parties shall be in writing and be addressed, respectively, as follows, or to such other address as may be hereafter furnished for this purpose by such Party: If to the Borrower, at: Sociedad Minera Cerro Verde S.A.A.

ASSIGNMENT OF THE RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT The Borrower hereby expressly grants its prior written consent, in accordance with Article 1435 of the Civil Code, to the assignment of this Agreement ("cesion de posicion contractual") by the Onshore Collateral Agent to any successor or assign of the Onshore Collateral Agent appointed by the Senior Lenders pursuant to the Master Security Agreement. 12. SEVERABILITY If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall, to the extent possible, be modified in such manner as to be valid, legal, enforceable but so as most nearly to retain the intent of the Parties. If such modification is not possible, such provision shall be severed from this Agreement. In either case the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 7 13. AMENDMENTS Neither this Agreement nor any terms hereof may be amended, supplemented or modified other than pursuant to a written instrument executed by (i) the Borrower and (ii) the Onshore Collateral Agent.

The Shareholders hereby waive their respective right under Articles 1083 and 1116 of the Civil Code to request any judge for the reduction of the Lien's Amount. 4.4 The Shareholders hereby waive their respective right under Article 1073 of the Civil Code to request any judge for the substitution of this pledge. 5.
