date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which, subject to paragraph (b) below, is one per cent. (1%) higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment,

demand by the Agent. 

  

	 	(b)	If any overdue amount consists of all or part of a Loan which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to that Loan:

	10.1	Absence of quotations 

Subject to Clause 10.2 (Market disruption), if LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference

interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period), to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select; and

  

	 	(iii)	the Mandatory Cost, if any, applicable to that Lender’s participation in the Loan.

	 	(c)	If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor, the amount of the payment due from that Obligor shall be increased to an amount which (after making any
Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required. 

  

	 	(d)	If an Obligor is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Obligor shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the
time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law. 

  

	 	(e)	Within thirty (30) days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Obligor making that Tax Deduction shall

	 	(b)	Paragraph (a) above shall not apply: 

  

	 	(i)	with respect to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party: 

  

	 	(A)	under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party is
treated as resident for tax purposes; or 

  

	 	(B)	 under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party’s Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that
jurisdiction, 

  
 - 27 -

	 	 
if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Finance Party; or

	12.4	Stamp taxes 

 The Parent
shall pay and, within three (3) Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability that Finance Party incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any

	 	(a)	All amounts set out, or expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party to a Finance Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for

	 	(b)	 If VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Finance Party (the
“Recipient”) under a Finance Document, and any Party (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than

an amount equal to the amount of such VAT. The Recipient will promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority which it reasonably

Party against all VAT incurred by the Finance Party in respect of the costs or expenses to the extent that the Finance Party reasonably determines that neither it nor any other member of any group of which it is a member for VAT purposes is entitled
to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of the VAT.

 SECTION 9 
 CHANGES TO PARTIES 
  

	23.	CHANGES TO THE LENDERS 

  

	23.1	Assignments and transfers by the Lenders 

 Subject to this Clause 23, a Lender (the “Existing Lender”) may: 
  

	 	(a)	assign any of its rights; or 

  

	 	(b)	transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations, 

 to another bank or financial institution or to a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other
financial assets (the “New Lender”). 
  

	23.2	Conditions of assignment or transfer 

  

	 	(a)	The consent of the Parent is required for an assignment or transfer by an Existing Lender, unless the assignment or transfer: 

 

	 	(i)	is to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; or 

  

	 	(ii)	takes effect at a time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

 

	 	(b)	The consent of the Parent to an assignment or transfer must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Parent will be deemed to have given its consent five
(5) Business Days after the Existing Lender has requested it unless consent is expressly refused by the Parent within that time. 

  

	 	(c)	The consent of the Parent to an assignment or transfer must not be withheld solely because the assignment or transfer may result in an increase to the Mandatory Cost.

  

	 	(d)	An assignment will only be effective on: 

  

	 	(i)	receipt by the Agent of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations
to the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender; and 

  

	 	(ii)	performance by the Agent of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to such
assignment to a New Lender, the completion of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender. 

  

	 	(e)	A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 23.5 (Procedure for transfer) is complied with. 

 

	 	(f)	If: 

  

	 	(i)	a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and 

  
 - 55 -

	 	(ii)	as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender
acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 12 (Tax gross-up and indemnities) or Clause 13 (Increased costs), 

 then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous
Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred. 
  

	 	(g)	If a Lender assigns or transfers part, but not all, of its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents, such assignment or transfer shall be in respect of such
Lender’s Commitment and its participation in outstanding Loans on a pro rata basis. 

  

	23.3	Assignment or transfer fee 

The New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of three
thousand dollars ($3,000), unless the Agent, in its sole discretion, agrees to waive the payment of such fee. 
  

	23.4	Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders 

  

	 	(a)	Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender for:

  

	 	(i)	the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Finance Documents or any other documents; 

 

	 	(ii)	the financial condition of any Obligor; 

  

	 	(iii)	the performance and observance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents; or 

 

	 	(iv)	the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Finance Document or any other document, 

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded. 

 

	 	(b)	Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it: 

 

	 	(i)	has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities
in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document; and 

 

	 	(ii)	will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under
the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force. 

  
 - 56 -

	 	(c)	Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to: 

  

	 	(i)	accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 23; or 

 

	 	(ii)	support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or
otherwise. 

  

	23.5	Procedure for transfer 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 23.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer) a transfer is effected in accordance with paragraph (c) below
when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Agent shall, subject to paragraph (b) below, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly
completed Transfer Certificate appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate. 

 

	 	(b)	The Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender once it is satisfied it has complied with
all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the transfer to such New Lender. 

 

	 	(c)	On the Transfer Date: 

  

	 	(i)	to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents each of the
Obligors and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and their respective rights against one another under the Finance Documents shall be cancelled (being the “Discharged
Rights and Obligations”); 

  

	 	(ii)	each of the Obligors and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights
and Obligations only insofar as that Obligor and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the Existing Lender; 

  

	 	(iii)	the Agent, the Arranger, the New Lender and other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired
and assumed had the New Lender been an Original Lender with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Agent, the Arrangers and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further
obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and 

  

	 	(iv)	the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender”. 

  
 - 57 -

 The Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate, send to the Parent a copy of that Transfer Certificate. 

 

	23.7	Security over Lenders’ rights 

  

	 	(a)	In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 23, each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Obligor, at any time
charge or otherwise create an Encumbrance in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Finance Document to secure obligations of that Lender including, without limitation: 

 

	 	(i)	any charge or other Encumbrance to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank; and 

 

	 	(ii)	in the case of any Lender which is a fund, any charge or other Encumbrance granted to any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or
securities issued, by that Lender as security for those obligations or securities, 

 except that no such charge
or Encumbrance shall: 
  

	 	(A)	release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Finance Documents or substitute the beneficiary of the relevant charge or Encumbrance for the Lender as a party
to any of the Finance Documents; or 

  

	 	(B)	require any payments to be made by an Obligor other than or in excess of, or grant to any person any more extensive rights than, those required to be made or granted to
the relevant Lender under the Finance Documents. 

  

	23.8	Pro rata interest settlement 

 If the Agent has notified the Lenders that it is able to distribute interest payments on a “pro rata basis” to Existing Lenders and New Lenders then (in respect of any transfer pursuant to
Clause 23.5 (Procedure for transfer) or any assignment the Transfer Date of which, in each case, is after the date of such notification and is not on the last day of an Interest Period): 

 

	 	(a)	any interest or fees in respect of the relevant participation which are expressed to accrue by reference to the lapse of time shall continue to accrue in favour of the
Existing Lender up to but excluding the Transfer Date (“Accrued Amounts”) and shall become due and payable to the Existing Lender (without further interest accruing on them) on the last day of the current Interest Period (or, if the
Interest Period is longer than six Months, on the next of the dates which falls at six Monthly intervals after the first day of that Interest Period); and 

  

	 	(b)	the rights assigned or transferred by the Existing Lender will not include the right to the Accrued Amounts so that, for the avoidance of doubt:

 - 58 -

	 	(ii)	the amount payable to the New Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this Clause 23.8, have been payable to it on that date, but
after deduction of the Accrued Amounts. 

  

	23.9	Disclosure of information 

Any Lender may disclose: 
  

	 	(a)	to any of its Affiliates, professional advisers and auditors, any information about any Obligor, the Group and the Finance Documents as that Lender shall consider
appropriate if any person to whom such information is to be given pursuant to this paragraph (a) is informed in writing of its confidential nature and that some or all of such information may be price-sensitive information;

potential investor in a securitisation (or similar transaction of broadly equivalent economic effect) if the person to whom the information is to be given has entered into a Confidentiality Undertaking; and 

 

	 	(c)	to any rating agency (including its professional advisers) such information as may be required to be disclosed to enable such rating agency to carry out its normal
rating activities in relation to the Finance Documents and/or the Obligors if the rating agency to whom such information is to be given is informed of its confidential nature and that some or all of such information may be price-sensitive

in respect of any act or omission of any kind by that officer, employee or agent in relation to any Finance Document and any officer, employee or agent of the Agent may rely on this Clause 25.9 subject to Clause 1.4 (Third Party
Rights) and the provisions of the Third Parties Act. 

  

	 	(c)	The Agent will not be liable for any delay (or any related consequences) in crediting an account with an amount required under the Finance Documents to be paid by the
Agent if the Agent has taken all necessary steps as soon as reasonably practicable to comply with the regulations or operating procedures of any recognised clearing or settlement system used by the Agent for that purpose. 

 

	 	(d)	Nothing in this Agreement shall oblige the Agent or the Arrangers to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any person on behalf of

may appoint a successor Agent.

given, the Agent (after consultation with the Parent) may appoint a successor Agent.

appoint a successor Agent under paragraph (c) above, the Agent may (if it concludes (acting reasonably) that it is necessary to do so in order to persuade the proposed successor Agent to become a party to this Agreement as Agent) agree with the
proposed successor Agent amendments to this Clause 25 consistent with then current market practice for the appointment and protection of corporate trustees (which shall be determined by reference to the then standard documents published by the Loan
Market Association and, to the extent practicable, following consultation by the Agent with the Lenders) and those amendments will bind the Parties.

 - 67 -

	25.15	Reference Banks

	 	(b)	the Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been
received or made by the Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 28 (Payment Mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

  
 - 68 -

	 	(c)	the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent an amount (the “Sharing

the Agent, pay to the Agent for account of that Recovering Finance Party an amount equal to the appropriate part of its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Finance Party for its
proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Finance Party is required to pay); and 

  

	 	(b)	that Recovering Finance Party’s rights of subrogation in respect of any reimbursement shall be cancelled and the relevant Obligor will be liable to the reimbursing
Finance Party for the amount so reimbursed.

country of that currency. 
  

	28.3	Distributions to an Obligor 

 The Agent may (with the consent of the Obligor or in accordance with Clause 29 (Set-off)) apply any amount received by it for that Obligor in or towards payment (on the date and in the

	28.4	Clawback 

  

	 	(a)	Where a sum is to be paid to the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, the Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that other Party (or to enter into or

	 	(b)	If the Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that the Agent had not actually received that amount, then the Party to whom that amount (or
the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid by the Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Agent, calculated by the Agent to reflect
its cost of funds. 

  

	28.5	Partial payments

	1.	The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the
Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank. 

 

	2.	On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost
Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage
participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum. 

  

	3.	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Agent. This
percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the
minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Facility Office. 

  

	4.	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Agent as follows: 

 

 

 Where: 
  

	 	E	is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge
supplied by the Reference Banks to the Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000. 

  

	5.	For the purposes of this Schedule: 

  

	 	(a)	“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to
time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits; 

  

	 	(b)	“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated
fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and 

  

	 	(c)	“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules. 

 

	6.	 If requested by the Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the
Agent, the rate of charge payable by that 

  
 - 90 -

	 	 
Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that
Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank. 

 

	7.	Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each
Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender: 

  

	 	(a)	the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and 

  

	 	(b)	any other information that the Agent may reasonably require for such purpose. 

 Each Lender shall promptly notify the Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph. 
  

	8.	The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 6 and 7
above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Agent to the contrary, each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility
Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office. 

  

	9.	The Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be
entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above is true and correct in all respects. 

 

	10.	The Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender
based on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above. 

  

	11.	Any determination by the Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall,
in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties. 

  

	12.	The Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Parent and the Lenders, determine and notify to all Parties any amendments which are required to be made to
this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Financial Services Authority or, the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of
its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.

Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 A.M., Lima time, three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Disbursement Date) substantially in the form of the Disbursement Notice attached as Exhibit VII, requesting that the Lenders make the Advance
(not in excess of the Amount) on the Disbursement Date. 

 Upon receipt of the Disbursement Notice the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Provided that all of the conditions precedent established in Section 6.2 have been satisfied or waived, not later than 11:00 A.M., Lima time, on the Disbursement Date, each Lender
shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account for Payments an amount in immediately available funds equal to the advance to be made by such Lender. 

Immediately upon receipt of the funds in the Administrative Agent’s Account for Payments (and in any case, on the Disbursement Date)
the Administrative Agent shall transfer, in immediately available funds, the amount indicated in the Disbursement Notice to the account of the Borrower indicated therein. 

 

	2.4	Maturity Date.- The Lenders hereby grant the Loan to the Borrower for a total term of five (5) years counted as from the Disbursement Date. The Loan shall
be repaid through the payment of the Installments. 

  

	2.5	Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.- Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, the borrowings by the Borrower from the Lenders and any reduction of the
Commitments of the Lenders hereunder shall be made pro rata according to the relevant Pro-rata Share of the Lenders with respect to the Loan borrowed or the Commitments to be reduced. 

No Lender shall be responsible for the Commitment of any other Lender. The failure of a Lender to make available an advance in accordance
with its obligations under this Agreement shall not release any other Lender from its obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Lender shall be obligated to make any amount available to the Borrower in excess of its
Commitment. 

  
 16 

	2.6	Issuance of Promissory Notes.- As additional evidence of the Borrower’s obligation to repay the Loan, together with any unpaid interest accrued, as provided
in this Agreement, on or prior to the Disbursement Date the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for delivery to each Lender (i) a promissory note (pagaré incompleto) issued under Peruvian Law and
pursuant to article 10 of Peruvian Law No. 27287 (Ley de Títulos Valores) and Circular Letter No. G-0090-2001 issued by the Superintendency of Banks, Insurance Companies and Pension Fund Administrators, substantially in the form
of Exhibit I, made payable to the order of each Lender (each, a “Promissory Note”), and (ii) an irrevocable instruction letter substantially in form of Exhibit I-1(each, an “Instructions Letter”), by which the
Borrower authorizes each Lender to complete the Promissory Note issued to its order only in accordance with the rules set forth in its Instructions Letter, provided that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Majority Lenders
have decided to act in accordance with Section 10.1(ii). In case of an assignment performed in accordance with Section 14, upon the request of the assigning Lender, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall (x) if the assigning Lender
has not retained any interest in the Loan, execute and deliver in substitution of the assigning Lender’s Promissory Note a new Promissory Note and Instructions Letter to the order of the assignee Lender and the assigning Lender shall, at the
option of the Borrower, either destroy its Promissory Note or return it to the Borrower, or; (y) if the assigning Lender has retained an interest in the Loan, execute and deliver a new Promissory Note and Instructions Letter to the order of the
assignee Lender. Such new Promissory Note(s) or Instruction Letter(s) shall be dated the effective date of the relevant Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit I and Exhibit I-1 hereto, respectively. In
addition, the Parties agree to the following in connection with each Promissory Note: 

  

	 	(i)	Each Promissory Note will be issued with a “no protest” clause. Without prejudice thereto, each holder may decide to protest it and the Borrower will
bear the costs of such protest. 

  

	 	(ii)	The date of issuance of each Promissory Note will be the Disbursement Date or, in the case of those Promissory Notes issued as a consequence of an assignment, the date
on which such assignment is effective in accordance with Section 14. 

  

	 	(iii)	The Administrative Agent will deliver a copy of each executed Promissory Note and of each Instructions Letter to the Borrower, the delivery of which will be evidenced
by a return receipt. 

  

	 	(iv)	The obligations contained in each Promissory Note will not be extinguished even if due to the Administrative Agent’s or the respective Lender’s fault the
respective Promissory Note may be impaired. This constitutes an agreement to the contrary of the provisions set forth in article 1233 of the Peruvian Civil Code. 

 

	 	(v)	The Borrower accepts that from the maturity date of each Promissory Note until the actual payment thereof, the amount appearing therein will accrue compensatory and
default interest at the agreed rates established in this Agreement. For purposes of the payment of default interest it will not be necessary for the Lenders or Administrative Agent to provide prior notice of non-payment, since it will operate
automatically. 

  

	 	(vi)	The Borrower is obliged to replace or issue a new Promissory Note upon the request of any of the Lenders in the event that such Promissory Note was lost, in which case
the corresponding Lender shall initiate the legal proceeding for declaring the inefficacy of such Promissory Note. 

  
 17 

	 	(vii)	Pursuant to the provisions contained in article 1279 of the Peruvian Civil Code, the issuance, renewal or other accessory change of any Promissory Note, including the
substitution and/or replacement thereof by another similar one, shall not constitute the renewal of the obligations established in the Agreement, nor extinguish or reduce any of the Lenders’ rights under this Agreement or the Security.

  

	2.7	It is expressly established that the Advance under this Agreement will only be made by the Lenders during the Availability Period and after verifying, to the
satisfaction of the Lenders that each and every one of the Conditions Precedent stipulated in Section 6.2 below have been satisfied. 

 SECTION 3: INTEREST, FEES AND EXPENSES 
  

	3.1	Scheduled Interest.- (a) Rate. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, into the Administrative Agent’s
Account for Payment, compensatory interests accrued for each Interest Period at the Compensatory Interest Rate. 

(b) Calculation. Compensatory interest on the Loan shall be payable for each Interest Period on the corresponding Payment Date, and
shall be calculated on a daily basis on the Loan on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of three hundred sixty (360) days. Such calculation will include the first day of each Interest Period and exclude the last day of such
Interest Period. 
 (c) Determination by Administrative Agent. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of the
Compensatory Interest Rate applicable to each Interest Period shall, in the absence of manifest error, be prima facie evidence thereof. Upon determination of the Compensatory Interest Rate applicable to each Interest Period on the Interest
Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each Lender of that rate. 
  

	3.2	Default Interest.- (a) Rate. Effective upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and for so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the
Secured Obligations will accrue, without duplication, default interests at a rate equivalent to the Default Interest Rate, without prejudice of the interests that will continue to accrue pursuant to Section 3.1 above. 

For purposes of the provisions contained in the paragraph above and in accordance with the provisions set forth in paragraph 1 of article
1333 of the Peruvian Civil Code, the Borrower will be automatically deemed in default without the need of any requirement or notice whatsoever of the Lenders or Administrative Agent. 

(b) Calculation. In order to calculate the default interests a three hundred and sixty (360) calendar day year will be used
and the number of days in default actually elapsed will be taken into account. 
  

	3.3	Fees.- The Borrower shall punctually pay to the Mandated Lead Arrangers, and each of the Agents for its own account and benefit such fees payable to them
pursuant to the Fee Letter, the Administrative Agent Fee Letter, the Onshore Collateral Fee Letter and the Offshore Collateral Fee Letter, respectively. 

  
 18 

	3.4	Commitment Fee.- On the Disbursement Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account for Payment, for the

Amount on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of three hundred and sixty five (365) days. Each Lender shall be entitled to its Pro-rata Share of the Commitment Fee. 
 SECTION 4: REPAYMENT OF THE LOAN 
  

	4.1	Repayment of the Loan.- The Borrower hereby unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, each of the
Installments on their corresponding Payment Dates. 

  

	4.2	Voluntary prepayments.- The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the
Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior thereto, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment, provided that (i) the Borrower will be obliged to pay the Prepayment Fee and Break Costs, if any, and
(ii) partial prepayments may only be made in amounts of not less than US$10,000,000 (ten million and 00/100 Dollars) or amounts exceeding such minimum amount by US$5,000,000 (five million and 00/100 Dollars) multiples. 

Upon receipt of a prepayment notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify, no later than the following Business Day, each Lender of such
prepayment notice. 
 Voluntary prepayments shall be made without penalty, other than the Prepayment Fee and Break Costs, if any.

  

	4.3	Mandatory prepayments.- (a) Issuance of Bonds. If, subsequent to the Signing Date, the Borrower issues bonds in the local and/or international public
and/or private capital markets (the “Bonds”), an amount equivalent to 75% (seventy five percent) of the net cash proceeds thereof shall be promptly applied towards the prepayment of the Loan as provided in Section 4.2 above (save for
the provision in 4.2(ii), which shall not be applicable). 

 Provided that the Borrower appoints BCP and/or BNS,
and/or any of their Affiliates, as mandated lead arrangers or joint mandated lead arrangers to arrange, book-run and/or underwrite (should the Borrower require the Bonds to be underwritten) the Bonds, such prepayments shall not be subject to the
payment of a Prepayment Fee, being subject only to the payment of any Break Costs. 
 (b) Change of Control. If Gold
Fields Limited ceases to directly or indirectly (i) hold more than 50% (fifty percent) of the Borrower’s outstanding Voting Stock, or (ii) have the ability to designate or remove the majority of the Borrower’s Board members (or
equivalent organ); or (iii) have the ability, through any means (whether contractual or not), to control the decision-making power in the Borrower; without the prior written consent of the Lenders, the Lenders may, following a forty-five
(45) days’ consultation period, by notice cancel the Loan and require repayment of the Loan. If the Lenders do not exercise this right, any dissenting Lender may by notice cancel and require repayment of its Pro Rata Share of the Loan.

  
 19 

 Following the consultation period indicated above and upon receipt of written notice
delivered by the Lenders or any Lender requesting repayment of the Loan or its Pro Rata Share of the Loan (as applicable), the Borrower shall prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of the Loan or the applicable Pro Rata Share of the
Loan, together with any accrued interest thereon, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice. 
 The mandatory
prepayments pursuant to this Section 4.3 (b) shall not be subject to the payment of a Prepayment Fee. 
  

	4.4	Pro rata distribution of prepayments.- Prepayments will be applied pro rata to reduce the remaining Installments.

  

	4.5	Payments Generally.- (a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or
set-off, not later than 10:00 A.M. (Lima time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account for Payment in same day funds. The Administrative Agent will thereafter and on the same day cause to
be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or facility fees ratably to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to
any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained
therein in the Register pursuant to Section 14.3 from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in respect of the
interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

 (b) Except for proceeds received pursuant to an enforcement action in accordance with Section 10.3, the
Administrative Agent shall apply amounts received by it, including without limitation amounts received by the Onshore Collateral Agent or the Offshore Collateral Agent under the Security Documents and forwarded to the Administrative Agent, in the
following order of priority: 
  

	 	(i)	first, to the payment or reimbursement of amounts owed to each of the Agents in such capacity under the Loan Documents, 

 

	 	(ii)	second, to the payment or reimbursement of amounts owed to the Lenders under the Loan Documents other than principal and interest on the Loan,

  

	 	(iii)	third, to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan, and 

 

	 	(iv)	fourth, to the pro-rata payment of the Loan. 

  

	4.6	Payment in the same currency and charge in account.- It is a condition hereof and especially in respect of the payment of the Secured Obligations that all
amounts owing in respect of the Loan Documents, whether on account of principal, interest or fees or otherwise, shall be paid in Dollars. For further clarity, this provision constitutes an agreement to the contrary of the provisions contained in
article 1237 of the Peruvian Civil Code. 

  
 20 

 In any case in which the Borrower has not made available to the Administrative Agent or to
the Lenders sufficient funds in Dollars for payment of its obligations hereunder, the Lenders and the Agents are expressly authorized by the Borrower to purchase on its behalf and account in the foreign exchange market that is legally available, the
Dollars that may be required to be applied to the amortization and/or payment of the amount due, charged to any of the accounts in foreign currency or in Nuevos Soles that may be kept by the Borrower with the Lenders, the Agents, or with any of
their Affiliates or Subsidiaries. 
  

	4.7	Sharing of payments, etc.- If any Lender shall receive any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise)
on account of the Loan owing to it in excess of its Pro Rata Share in the Loan, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loan owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share
the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that (a) if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall
repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share in the Loan (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required
repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered; and (b) the provisions of this Section shall
not be construed to apply to any payment obtained by a Lender (x) as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in its Pro Rata Share in the Loan, or (y) in respect of any arrangement between such Lender and any third
party in respect of any securitization, hedge or other transaction under which payments are to be made between such Lender and such third party by reference to this Agreement. The Borrower agrees that any Lender purchasing a participation from
another Lender pursuant to this Section may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the
Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

 SECTION 5: YIELD PROTECTION 

 

	5.1	Increased Costs.- 

  

	 	5.1.1.	Increased Costs Generally. If from time to time any Change in Law shall: 

 

	 	(a)	impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the
account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender; 

  

	 	(b)	subject any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, or its Pro Rata Share of the Loan, or change the basis of taxation of any payments
to such Lender in respect thereof, or establishes any change in the rate of a Tax; or 

  

	 	(c)	impose on any Lender or any applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or the Pro Rata Share of the Loan of such Lender
or participation therein; 

 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender
of making or maintaining its Pro Rata Share of the Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make its advance), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender 

  
 21 

 
hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then upon request of such Lender from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered, such amount or amounts to be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Lender, provided that the Lender may not seek compensation under this clause 5.1.1.
for any amount for which the Lender has been otherwise compensated for in accordance with this Agreement. 
  

	 	5.1.2	Capital and Liquidity Requirements. If any Lender determines in its sole and absolute discretion that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending
Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s
holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or its Pro Rata Share of the Loan by, to a level below that which such Lender or its holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking
into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of its holding company with respect to, as applicable, capital adequacy or liquidity requirements), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender or its holding company for any such reduction suffered, such amount or amounts to be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Lender. 

 

	 	5.1.3	Certificates for Reimbursement; Modification of interest rates. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender
or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 5.1.1 or 5.1.2 of this Section and delivered to the Borrower from time to time shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due
on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 

  

	 	5.1.4	Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s
right to demand such compensation, except that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such
Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefore, unless the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is
retroactive, in which case the nine (9)-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

  

	5.2	 Taxes.- (a) Payments Free and Clear and Tax gross-up. Any and all payments made to any Lender or any Agent hereunder or under the
Loan Documents or under any other instrument to be delivered hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present and future Taxes (including, without limitation, value-added taxes, financial transactions tax

overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or Agent (as the case may be) is organized or is subject to or any political subdivision thereof and, in the
case of each Lender, taxes imposed on its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office is organized or is subject to or
any political subdivision thereof (all such 

  
 22

Non-Excluded Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Loan Document or under any other instrument to be delivered hereunder to any Lender or any Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that
after all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.2) such Lender or such Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions
been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make all such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with the Applicable Law.

 (b) Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes
or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or under any other instrument to be delivered hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of,
performing under, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document or any other instrument to be delivered hereunder (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

the full amount of any Taxes of any kind imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 5.2 imposed on or paid by such Lender (or any Affiliate of such Lender) or such Agent (as the case may be) in respect of any
liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within
thirty (30) days from the date such Lender or such Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. 
 (d)
Receipt of Payment. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Non-Excluded Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 15.1, (i) the original or a
certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment, or (ii) if no such receipt is issued, other written proof of payment that is reasonably satisfactory to each Lender or Agent that would have been affected by such Non-Excluded Tax. In the
case of any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any other instrument to be delivered hereunder by or on behalf of the Borrower, if the Borrower determines that no Non-Excluded Taxes are payable in respect thereof, the
Borrower shall, at the request of any Lender or Agent, furnish, or shall cause the pay or to furnish, to each Lender or Agent with respect to which the Borrower determines that such Non-Excluded Taxes are not payable, an opinion of counsel
acceptable to each such Lender or Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) stating that such payment is exempt from Non-Excluded Taxes. 
 (e) Delivery of tax forms. The Lenders shall upon written request (but only if the Lenders are lawfully able to do so) use best efforts to provide the Borrower with two (2) copies of any form,
document or other certification, appropriately completed, necessary for the Lender to be exempt from, or entitled to a reduced rate of Non-Excluded Tax or any other Taxes on payments pursuant to, this Agreement or the Promissory Notes. To the extent
that any such form, document or certification expires or becomes obsolete, the Lender shall upon written request provide an updated or successor form, document or certification to the Borrower. 

(f) Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other obligations of the Borrower expressly established hereunder, the
obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 5.2 shall survive the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, provided in any case that Section 5.2 shall only apply in relation to any such Secured Obligations. 

  
 23 

	5.3	Illegality.- Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the introduction of or any change in
or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make its
advance or to maintain its Pro Rata Share of the Loan hereunder, (a) the obligation of any Lender to make its advance or maintain its Pro Rata Share of the Loan shall be suspended until each affected Lender shall have informed the
Administrative Agent (which in turn shall notify the Borrower and the other Lenders) that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and (b) if any Lender shall so request in such notice, the Borrower shall immediately prepay in
full such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan, together with accrued interest thereon. If it is lawful for each Lender to maintain its Loan until the next Payment Date, such prepayment shall be due on such Payment Date.

  

	5.4	Deposits Unavailable, Etc. If any Lender shall have determined that for any Interest Period: 

(a) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period are not available to it in its relevant
market; 
 (b) by reason of circumstances affecting its relevant market, adequate means do not exist for
ascertaining the Libor interest rate applicable hereunder; or 
 (c) the Libor rate will not adequately and
fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of maintaining the Loan for an applicable Interest Period, 
 then (upon notification by
that Lender to the Administrative Agent, who in turn shall promptly notify the Borrower and the other Lenders, as soon as practicable and in any event before the corresponding Payment Date) Libor will be deemed to be converted into the percentage
rate per annum that expresses the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in the Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select (provided that in those cases in which Libor can be adequately ascertained, such rate is not less than
Libor), until that Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the circumstances causing such change of interest rate no longer exist. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives two or more notices of Lenders with distinct interest
rates, it shall apply the highest of such rates to the Loan.

 SECTION 10: CONSEQUENCES OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT

	 	(ii)	accelerate any terms under this Loan and issue a statement of amounts owed (in accordance with article 132 of the General Law), without the need of any other
communication or formality whatsoever, considering all terms expired and requiring the immediate payment of amounts due, in which case each Lender will be entitled to enforce and/or judicially require the payment of all amounts due hereunder,
including the enforcement of each Promissory Note and the Security. 

 Any delay by the
Administrative Agent in exercising this right, pursuant to the instructions of the Majority Lenders, will in no way be deemed a presumed waiver thereof. 
  

	10.2	If the Majority Lenders exercise any of the rights detailed in Section 10.1 above and as long as the Secured Parties do not collect the full amounts owed to them
by the Borrower, compensatory interest and default interest shall apply to said debt at the rates and in accordance with the provisions established in Section 3.

Offshore Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which shall remain in full force and effect until all Secured Obligations have been paid in full. 
  

	10.3	The Administrative Agent shall apply amounts received by it pursuant to any enforcement action of the Security, including without limitation amounts received by the

such Bonds is equal or greater than the remaining tenor of the Loan. 

 SECTION 12: THE AGENTS 

 

	12.1	Appointment and authority of the Agents.- Each Lender (with the acknowledgment of the Borrower by its execution hereof), hereby irrevocably appoints each Agent
to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are
reasonably incidental thereto and authorizes the Onshore Collateral Agent and the Offshore Collateral Agent to act on the instruction of the Administrative Agent and/or the Majority Lenders, in accordance with the applicable Loan Documents.

 As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement
or collection of the Secured Obligations of the Parties under the Loan Documents), no Agent shall be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so
acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Lenders (in accordance with the applicable Loan Documents), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Promissory Notes; provided, however,
that no Agent shall be required to take any action that exposes such Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law. Each Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of each notice given to it by the
Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
  

	12.2	 Supplemental Collateral Agent.- Any Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including for purposes
of holding or enforcing any encumbrance on the Security (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Agreements or of exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Onshore Collateral Agent or Offshore Collateral Agent)
by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to the 

  
 39 

	 	 
advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Onshore Collateral Agent or Offshore Collateral Agent may also from time to time, when it
deems it to be necessary or desirable, appoint one or more trustees, co-trustees, collateral co-agents, collateral subagents, attorneys-in-fact, or a “Representante” as referred to in Law on Secured Transactions (each, a
“Supplemental Collateral Agent”) with respect to all or any part of the Security; provided, however, that no such Supplemental Collateral Agent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any Security unless
and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Onshore Collateral Agent or Offshore Collateral Agent, as applicable. Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower or any other Party be required by any Supplemental Collateral
Agent so appointed by the Onshore Collateral Agent or Offshore Collateral Agent to more fully or certainly vest in and confirm to such Supplemental Collateral Agent such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such
party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Onshore Collateral Agent and/or the Offshore Collateral Agent. If any Supplemental Collateral Agent, or successor thereto, shall die, become
incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Onshore Collateral Agent or the Offshore
Collateral Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Collateral Agent. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent, attorney-in-fact or Supplemental Collateral Agent that it selects in accordance with the
foregoing provisions of this Section 12.2 in the absence of such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

  

	12.3	General duties of the Agents.- 

  

	 	(i)	The Agent shall promptly forward to a Party the original or a copy of any document which is delivered to the Agent for that Party by any other Party.

  

	 	(ii)	Except where a Loan Document specifically provides otherwise, the Agent is not obliged to review or check the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any document it
forwards to another Party. 

  

	 	(iii)	If the Agent receives notice from a Party referring to this Agreement, describing an Event of Default and stating that the circumstance described is an Event of
Default, it shall promptly notify the other Parties. 

  

	 	(iv)	If the Agent is aware of the non-payment of any Secured Obligation payable to a Secured Party it shall promptly notify the other Secured Parties.

  

	 	(v)	The Agent’s duties under the Loan Documents are solely mechanical and administrative in nature. 

 

	12.4	 Agents’ Reliance, etc.- Neither any Agent nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, each Agent: (a) may request instructions from the Lenders and/or consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by
it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (b) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible
to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or 

  
 40 

	 	 
in connection with the Loan Documents; (c) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance, observance or satisfaction of any of the terms, covenants or conditions
of any Loan Document on the part of any Party or the existence at any time of any default under the Loan Documents or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Loan Party; (d) shall not be responsible to any Lender for
the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any
other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; and (e) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telegram,
telecopy or electronic communication) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties. 

  

	12.5	Lender Credit Decision.- Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on the Original
Financial Statements and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon
any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. Neither any Agent, any Lender nor any
of their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information (whether oral or written) supplied by any Agent, any Lender, a Party or any
other Person given in, pursuant to or in connection with any Loan Document. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require any Agent or any Lender to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation
to any person on behalf of any Lender or any of its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents or employees and each Lender confirms on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers,
agents or employees to each Agent and each Lender that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by any Agent or any Lender.

  

	12.6	Indemnification.- Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify each Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), ratably according to its Pro-rata Share,
from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent in
any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”), provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of the
Indemnified Costs resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse each
Agent promptly upon demand for its Pro-rata Share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 15.2, to the extent that such Agent is not promptly reimbursed for
such costs and expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 12.6 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any
Lender or any other Person. 

 The failure of any Lender to reimburse any Agent promptly upon demand for its
Pro-Rata Share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to such Agent as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse such Agent for its Pro-rata Share of such amount, but no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to 

  
 41 

 
reimburse such Agent for such other Lender’s Pro-Rata Share. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender
contained in this Section 12.6 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. 
  

	12.7	Resignation; Successor Agent.- Any Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower and may be removed at any time
with or without cause by the Majority Lenders; provided, however, that any removal of the Administrative Agent will not be effective if there is no designated Onshore Collateral Agent or Offshore Collateral Agent. Upon any such
resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after
the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Majority Lenders’ removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent
hereunder by a successor Agent and, in the case of a successor Onshore Collateral Agent or Offshore Collateral Agent, upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, mortgages, agreements, or amendments thereto, or other
instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Majority Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Security granted or purported to be granted by the Security Agreements, such successor Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. If within forty-five
(45) days after written notice is given of the retiring Agent’s resignation or removal under this Section no successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (a) the retiring
Agent’s resignation or removal shall become effective, (b) the retiring Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (c) the Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the
retiring Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 12
shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under the Loan Documents. 

SECTION 13: COLLECTIVE ACTION OF THE LENDERS 
  

	13.1	Collective decision.- Each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges that to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any collateral security and the remedies provided
under the Loan Documents to the Lenders are for the benefit of the Secured Parties collectively and acting together and not severally and further acknowledges that its rights hereunder and under any collateral security are to be exercised not
severally, but by the Administrative Agent upon the decision of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for in the Loan Documents). 

Accordingly, notwithstanding any of the provisions contained herein or in any collateral security, each of the Lenders hereby covenants
and agrees that it shall not be entitled to take any action hereunder or thereunder including any declaration of default hereunder or thereunder but that any such action shall be taken only by the Administrative Agent with the prior written
agreement of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for in the Loan Documents). 
  

	13.2	 Cooperation with Administrative Agent.- Each of the Lenders hereby further covenants and agrees that upon any such written agreement being
given, it shall co-operate fully with the 

  
 42 

	 	 
Administrative Agent to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the absence of instructions from the Lenders and where in the sole opinion of the
Administrative Agent, acting reasonably and in good faith, the exigencies of the situation warrant such action, the Administrative Agent may without notice to or consent of the Lenders take such action on behalf of the Lenders as it deems
appropriate or desirable in the interest of the Lenders. 

  

	13.3	Decision to enforce Security Agreements.- Upon the Security Agreements becoming enforceable in accordance with their terms, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly so notify each of the Lenders. Any Lender may thereafter provide the Administrative Agent with a written request to enforce the Security Agreements. Forthwith after the receipt of such a request, the Administrative Agent shall seek the
instruction of the Majority Lenders as to whether the Security Agreements should be enforced and the manner in which the Security Agreements should be enforced. In seeking such instructions, the Administrative Agent shall submit a specific proposal
to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Onshore Collateral Agent and the Offshore Collateral Agent, as the case may be, of all instructions and approvals of the Majority Lenders. 

 

	13.4	Approval of all Lenders.- Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, where any amendment, waiver, discharge or termination relates to the following matters,
the amendment, waiver, discharge or termination requires the approval of all Lenders: 

  

	 	(a)	a decrease in the rate or amount of any principal, interest or fees or any other amount payable by the Borrower or any alteration in the currency or mode of calculation
or computation thereof; 

  

	 	(b)	any extension or reduction of the time for any payments required to be made by the Borrower; 

 

	 	(c)	any change in the maturity of the Loans; 

  

	 	(d)	an increase in any Lender’s Commitment, Loans, or in the Amount; 

  

	 	(e)	an extension or reduction of the notice period required in connection with any Advance; 

 

	 	(f)	the definition of Majority Lenders or any change in the number or percentage of Lenders required for the Lenders, or any of them, or the Administrative Agent to take
action; 

  

	 	(g)	the nature and scope of the Security Agreements, any amendments thereto, or any release of the Security; 

 

	 	(h)	an assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; 

 

	 	(i)	any waiver of any condition precedent; or 

  

	 	(j)	any provision of this Section 13.4, or of Sections 2.6 (Pro Rata Treatment and Payments), 4.7 (Sharing of payments) and 15.7 (Right of Set-off).

 Unless expressly indicated otherwise in the Loan Documents, any other amendment, waiver, discharge or
termination requires the approval of only the Majority Lenders, which approval, if obtained, shall be binding upon all the Lenders. 

  
 43 

   

	13.5	Request for Approval.- If the approval of a Lender is required, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lender in writing of the issue to be decided and, if
the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion that it is appropriate to do so, request the Lender’s approval of a course of action proposed by the Administrative Agent. In requesting a Lender’s approval, the Administrative
Agent may establish, in its discretion acting reasonably, a deadline by which the Lender shall respond to the Administrative Agent’s request. If the Lender fails to respond by that deadline, that Lender’s failure to respond shall be
conclusive evidence of the disapproval by the Lender of the course of action proposed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion and acting reasonably, extend the deadline set by the Administrative Agent by
which the Lender shall respond to the Administrative Agent’s request. 

 SECTION 14: SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

  

	14.1	Successors and Assigns Generally.- The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign
or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with Section 14.2. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the Parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the related parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 The Borrower (acting reasonably) shall at any time (other than during the ten (10) Business Day notice
period referred to in Section 14.2 (c) below) be entitled to deliver a written notice to the Administrative Agent specifying that it wishes to remove a Permitted Transferee from the Permitted Transferee list. Such written notice shall set
out reasonable grounds for the Borrower’s request to remove such Permitted Transferee from the list. If the Administrative Agent is satisfied (acting reasonably) that the Borrower has reasonable grounds for such removal the Administrative Agent
shall notify the Borrower in writing accordingly and such Permitted Transferee shall thereupon cease to be a Permitted Transferee; provided that, to the extent that such Permitted Transferee is already a Lender as at the date of such removal, such
removal shall not obligate any Lender to acquire or re-acquire such Permitted Transferee’s participation in any Loan. 
  

	14.2	Assignments by Lenders.- 

  

	 	14.2.1	Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans
at the time owing to it); provided that: 

  

	 	(a)	each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with
respect to the Loan assigned; 

  

	 	(b)	any assignment must be approved by the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and deemed given if expressly withheld within five
(5) calendar days), unless (i) the proposed assignee is a Permitted Transferee; (ii) the proposed assignee is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender (provided that such Affiliate is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of
making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets) or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 

  
 44 

	 	(c)	any Lender proposing to effect any assignment or transfer shall give the Borrower and the Administrative Agent ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of
any such proposed assignment or transfer; and 

  

	 	(d)	the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance. If the assignee is not already a Lender, it shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 

  

	 	14.2.2	From and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including any collateral security, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,
such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 5 (Yield Protection), Section 15.2 (Costs and Expenses) and 15.3 (Indemnity), and shall continue to be liable for any breach of this
Agreement by such Lender, with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any payment by an assignee to an assigning Lender in connection with an assignment or transfer shall not be or be deemed to
be a repayment by the Borrower or a new Loan to the Borrower. 

  

	 	14.2.3	If the assigning Lender has not retained any interest in the Loan it shall promptly, at the option of the Borrower, destroy its Promissory Note or return it to the
Borrower. 

  

	14.3	Register.- The Administrative Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The
Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

effective until received by such Agent. Delivery by telecopier or other electronic communication of an executed counterpart of a signature page to any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Promissory Notes shall be effective

	 	15.1.2	 The Borrower hereby agrees that it will provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to
furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such

Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to an electronic mail address specified by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower. In addition,
the Borrower agrees to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent in the manner specified in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent. 

The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address
set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from
time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address. Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document. 
  

	15.2	Costs and Expenses.- (i) The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each Lender and each Agent
in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of, or any consent or waiver under, the Loan Documents and the other documents to be delivered hereunder (including, without limitation, (A) all
due diligence, collateral review, syndication (including printing, distribution and bank meetings), transportation, computer, duplication, appraisal, audit, insurance, consultant, search, filing and recording fees and expenses, provided that any
expenses or costs individually in excess of US$ 3,000 (three thousand and 00/100 Dollars) will be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower and (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for each Lender and each Agent with
respect thereto and with respect to advising such Lender and such Agent as to its rights and responsibilities, or the perfection, protection or preservation of rights or interests, under the Loan Documents, with respect to negotiations with the
Borrower or with other creditors of the Borrower any of its Subsidiaries arising out of any Event of Default or any events or circumstances that may give rise to an Event of Default and with respect to presenting claims in or otherwise participating
in or monitoring any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving creditors’ rights generally and any proceeding ancillary thereto) and (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each Agent and
each Lender in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents, whether in any action, suit or litigation, or any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for each Agent and each Lender with respect thereto). Without prejudice to the survival of any other obligations of the Borrower expressly established hereunder, the obligations of the Borrower contained in
this Section 15.2 shall survive the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, provided in any case that any costs and expenses are directly related to the transactions contemplated in the Loan Documents. 

 

	15.3	 Indemnity.- The Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Agent, each Lender and each of their Affiliates and their
officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or
proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) (i) the Promissory Notes, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the

  
 47 

	 	 
Advance or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of hazardous materials on any property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any environmental action relating in any way to the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct (actuación con dolo o culpa inexcusable). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 15.3 applies, such indemnity shall be effective
whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, its directors, equityholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and
whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. The Borrower also agrees not to assert any claim for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages against any Indemnified Party on any theory of liability arising out of or
otherwise relating to the Promissory Notes, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loan. Without prejudice to the survival of any other obligations of
the Borrower expressly established hereunder, the obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 15.3 shall survive the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, provided in any case that the indemnity set forth herein shall be related
to or by reason of paragraphs (i) and/or (ii) above. 

  

	15.4	Failure to make Payment.- If any payment of principal is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on a Payment Date, as a result of a
payment, acceleration of the maturity of the Loan pursuant to an Event of Default or for any other reason, or if the Borrower fails to make any payment or prepayment of the Loan for which a notice of prepayment has been given or that is otherwise
required to be made, the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any
additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or failure to pay or prepay, including, without limitation, any Break Cost. 

 

	15.5	Payment of costs and expenses by Lenders upon Borrowers failure.- If the Borrower fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under
any Loan Document, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of the Borrower by any Lender, in its sole discretion. 

 

	15.6	No Waiver; Remedies.- No failure on the part of any Lender or any Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Promissory Note
or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative
and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 

  

	15.7	 Right of Set-off.- In addition to any right of set-off or any similar right herein provided, the Parties hereby agree that each of the Lenders
and Agents and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and
other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or Agent or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the Secured Obligations due and payable to such Lender or Agent,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Agent has made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Secured Obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such
Lender or Agent different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each the Lenders and Agents and their respective 

  
 48 

	 	 
Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off, consolidation of accounts and bankers’ lien) that the Lenders or Agents or
their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and Agent agrees to promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off
and application. If any Affiliate of a Lender exercises any rights under this Section 15.7, it shall share the benefit received in accordance with Section 4.7 as if the benefit had been received by the Lender of which it is an Affiliate.

  

	15.8	Binding effect.- This Agreement shall become effective (other than Section 2.1, which shall only become effective upon satisfaction of the conditions
precedent set forth in Section 6.2) on the Signing Date and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Agents and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not
have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each Lender. 

  

	15.9	Confidentiality.- A Party may not disclose any confidential information to any third party that may have been exclusively provided to it for the execution of the
Agreement, without prior consent in writing from the other Parties, with the exception of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, external legal advisors and counsel, and others directly involved in the transaction, or possible
participants or assignees of the transaction and, in such event, advising such advisors or potential participants of the confidential nature of such information. 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may disclose: 
  

	 	(a)	to any of its Affiliates, professional advisers and auditors, any information about the Borrower and the Loan Documents as that Lender shall consider appropriate if any
person to whom such information is to be given pursuant to this paragraph (a) is informed in writing of its confidential nature and that some or all of such information may be price-sensitive information; 

 

	 	(b)	to any person: 

  

	 	(i)	to (or through) whom that Lender assigns or transfers (or may potentially assign or transfer) all or any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement;

  

	 	(ii)	with (or through) whom that Lender enters into (or may potentially enter into) any sub-participation in relation to, or any other transaction under which payments are
to be made by reference to, this Agreement; or 

  

	 	(iii)	to whom, and to the extent that, information is required to be disclosed by any Applicable Law, 

any information about the Borrower and the Loan Documents as that Lender shall consider appropriate if, in relation to paragraphs
(i) and (ii) above, the person to whom the information is to be given has entered into a confidentiality agreement. A Lender may also disclose the size and term of the Loan and the name of the Borrower to any investor or potential investor
in a securitisation (or similar transaction of broadly equivalent economic effect) if the person to whom the information is to be given has entered into a confidentiality agreement; and 

 

	 	(c)	 to any rating agency (including its professional advisers) such information as may be required to be disclosed to enable such rating agency to carry
out its normal rating activities in relation to the Loan Documents and/or the Borrower if the rating agency to 

  
 49 

	 	 
whom such information is to be given is informed of its confidential nature and that some or all of such information may be price-sensitive information and notice is provided to the Borrower of
any such disclosure. 

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Party and any of its
Affiliates may also disclose any information related to this Agreement and the Loan Documents if and to the extent that, information is required to be disclosed by any Applicable Law 

 

	15.10	Governing Law.- This Agreement and the Promissory Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Republic of Peru.

  

	15.11	Submission to Jurisdiction.- 

  

	(a)	The Parties hereby agree to resolve any doubt, difference, disagreement, litigation or controversy that may arise herefrom through direct negotiations in good faith.

  

	(b)	If notwithstanding the foregoing, any doubt, difference, disagreement, litigation or controversy that may arise herefrom prevails, including those relating to the
interpretation, performance, nullity or invalidity hereof, they shall be resolved through arbitration in law by a special arbitration panel composed of three (3) members who must necessarily be lawyers (the “Arbitration
Panel”), conducted in accordance with the National and International Conciliation and Arbitration Regulations of the Chamber of Commerce of Lima to which rules the Parties unconditionally submit themselves, representing that they are
familiar with them and fully accept them. 

 Each disputing party shall appoint one arbitrator. The party who
initiates the arbitration procedure shall appoint one arbitrator in its request for arbitration, while the other Party shall designate the second arbitrator within a term of fifteen (15) days after being required to do so. Both arbitrators so
designated shall elect the third arbitrator who will preside over the Arbitral Panel. If the disputing Parties are more than two (2) and among such disputing Parties is the Borrower, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint one of the
arbitrators and the rest of the disputing Parties shall appoint the second arbitrator. In the event any of the Parties is required to appoint an arbitrator and fails to appoint its arbitrator as indicated above, such arbitrator shall be appointed by
the Chamber of Commerce of Lima. In the event the arbitrators designated by the Parties are unable to reach an agreement on the designation of the third arbitrator within a term of fifteen (15) Business Days counted from the designation of the
last arbitrator, this arbitrator will be designated by the Chamber of Commerce of Lima. 
  

	(c)	The arbitration will be held in the city of Lima, in the Spanish language and the duration thereof may not exceed one hundred and twenty (120) Business Days
counted from the date of installation of the Arbitration Panel, provided however that the Arbitration Panel will have the authority to reasonably extend this term if deemed necessary. The award will be final, not subject to appeal and of mandatory
compliance from the time it is served to the parties. The award will have the effect of res judicata. 

Moreover, the costs and expenses of the proceedings will be fully borne by the Party or Parties no favored by the decision of the
Arbitration Panel, which must also be fixed and included in the award. 

  
 50 

	(d)	In the event any of the Parties decides to file an annulment remedy with the judiciary for annulment against the arbitral award, it must previously furnish a joint and
several unconditional stand by letter of credit (carta fianza bancaria) of automatic execution in favor of the other party granted by a first class bank based in Lima, equivalent to sixty percent (60%) of the value of the award or, if
the arbitral award does not set a monetary value, US$ 50,000, which shall be executed in the event such annulment remedy, in the final instance, is declared groundless. This stand by letter of credit (carta fianza bancaria) must remain in
force throughout the duration of the action and shall be renewable up to three months following the final resolution of the annulment remedy. 

  

	(e)	Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties hereby agree that any action regarding collection and/or enforcement of the Promissory Note shall be subject to the
jurisdiction of the courts sitting in the Judicial District of Lima – Cercado. Similarly, if for any reason the intervention of Peruvian judges or courts is required in connection with the arbitration herein regulated, the Parties submit to the
jurisdiction of the judges and courts sitting in the Judicial District of Lima – Cercado. 

  

	15.12	Severability.- The Parties agree that the Sections of this Agreement are several and that the nullity of one or more of them shall not negatively affect the
rest. Thus, in case that due to a final, non-appealable award by the Arbitration Panel referred in Section 15.11 above, one or more Sections of this Agreement are declared null, Article 224 of the Peruvian Civil Code shall be applicable. In
this case, the Parties shall negotiate and agree the terms and conditions that are necessary to substitute those provisions that have been declared null or void by valid provisions having similar effects to those desired by the Parties.

  

	15.13	No other duties, etc.- Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Mandated Lead Arranger listed on the cover page hereof, or herein shall have any
powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as an Agent or a Lender. 

 Please add, Mr. Notary, the other Sections required by law and convert this preliminary deed into a public deed.

 POR:
                                        

 VENCE EL:
                                         
  
 Nosotros, Gold Fields La Cima S.A.A. (el “Deudor”), con RUC N° 20507828915, sociedad debidamente inscrita en la
Partida Electrónica N° 11606015 del Registro de Personas Jurídicas de Lima, debidamente representada por [—], identificado con [—],
y por [—], identificado con [—], según poderes debidamente inscritos en la Partida Electrónica antes referida, debemos y nos
obligamos a pagar incondicional y solidariamente a la orden y disposición de [—] (el “Acreedor”) o a quien éste hubiera transferido este Pagaré, la suma de
                            , valor recibido a nuestra entera satisfacción y que al vencimiento
del presente Pagaré nos obligamos a devolver en esta ciudad, mediante fondos disponibles de inmediato y en la misma moneda (pactando en contrario a lo dispuesto por el artículo 1237° del Código Civil), en las oficinas del
Acreedor ubicadas para estos efectos en [—] u otras oficinas que el Acreedor designe o en el lugar en que se presente este Pagaré a cobro. 

En adición al principal del monto de este Pagaré, a la fecha de vencimiento de este Pagaré, para cada Período de
Interés nos obligamos a abonar un interés compensatorio equivalente a la tasa nominal anual de LIBOR más un margen de 2.00%. 
 La tasa de interés compensatorio antes indicada será calculada sobre la base de un año de 360 días calendario en función a los días efectivamente transcurridos,
calculándose los intereses compensatorios aplicando la mencionada tasa de interés compensatorio sobre el monto remanente del principal. 
 Para efectos del presente Pagaré, por “Período de Interés” se entenderá (a) el período que comienza en (e incluyendo) la fecha de emisión de
este Pagaré hasta la fecha que sea tres (3) meses después y (b) a partir de entonces, cada período de tres (3) meses que se inicia el último día del Período de Interés inmediatamente
anterior, teniendo en cuenta que los Períodos de Interés están sujetos a lo siguiente: (i) si cualquier Período de Interés finalizara en un día que no es un Día Hábil, dicho Período
de Interés será extendido hasta el Día Hábil inmediato siguiente a menos que el resultado de dicha prórroga trasladara dicho Período de Interés al siguiente mes calendario, en cuyo caso dicho
Período de Interés finalizará en el Día Hábil inmediato anterior; y, (ii) cualquier Período de Interés que se inicie en el último Día Hábil de un mes calendario (o en un
día para el cual no exista un día numéricamente correspondiente en el mes calendario en el que termine dicho Período de Interés) finalizará en el último Día Hábil del mes calendario.
Para calcular los intereses devengados en un Periodo de Interés, dicho cálculo incluirá el primer día y excluirá el último día del Periodo de Interés correspondiente. 

Para los fines del presente Pagaré, se entenderá por “Día Hábil” un día en el que los bancos que
operan en Toronto, Canadá; Londres, Inglaterra; Nueva York, Estados Unidos de América, y Lima, Perú, se encuentran brindando atención al público en general en sus principales oficinas y sucursales, excluyendo
(a) sábados, domingos y cualquier otro día que sea un feriado público o legal en Toronto, Londres, Nueva York o Lima, y (b) cuando dicho término sea empleado con relación a una operación o
determinación relacionada con LIBOR, cualquier día en el que los bancos no se encuentren abiertos para realizar operaciones en depósitos en Dólares de los Estados Unidos de América en el mercado interbancario de
Londres. 

  
 61 

 Para efectos del presente Pagaré se entenderá por
“LIBOR”, para cada Período de Interés, a la tasa de interés a tres (3) meses en la que “eurodólares” son ofrecidos durante el mismo período en el mercado interbancario de Londres,
Inglaterra, registrada diariamente a las 11:00 horas aproximadamente (hora de Londres, Inglaterra), según lo publicado en la página de la Pantalla Reuters dos (2) Días Hábiles antes del inicio de cada Período
de Interés, estableciéndose, sin embargo, que si aparece más de una tasa en la página LIBO 01 de la Pantalla Reuters (la que la reemplace de tiempo en tiempo), la tasa aplicable será la media aritmética de
todas aquellas tasas (redondeada al alza, de ser necesario, hasta alcanzar el número más cercano a  1/100 de uno por ciento). 
 En caso de no ser pagado el monto debido
bajo este Pagaré en la fecha de su vencimiento, nos obligamos a abonar los intereses moratorios a una tasa nominal anual igual a 2% (dos por ciento) adicionales a la tasa de interés compensatorio antes señalada, que se
devengará automáticamente desde la fecha de vencimiento de este Pagaré hasta el día de su pago total más gastos notariales, costos y costas judiciales y extrajudiciales incurridos por el Acreedor en razón de
nuestro incumplimiento. 
 En aplicación de lo dispuesto por el artículo 49° de la Ley de Títulos Valores, aprobada
mediante Ley N° 27287, autorizamos expresamente para que el tenedor del presente Pagaré pueda prorrogar a su vencimiento o después de él, el plazo de vencimiento, ya sea por su importe total, cantidad menor o mayor que
tuviera a bien concedernos el tenedor, sin requerirse de nuestra expresa suscripción, procediendo a su ejecución por el solo mérito de haber vencido su plazo sin haberse prorrogado. Bastará que las prórrogas sean
anotadas en este mismo documento sin que sea necesario para su plena validez que lo suscribamos nuevamente. 
 Autorizamos expresa e
irrevocablemente al Acreedor para que a su vencimiento o después de ello, pueda disponer se carguen, apliquen o compensen las sumas necesarias en nuestras cuentas o depósitos, bienes o valores que en cualquier moneda mantengamos en
forma individual o mancomunada con terceros en dicho Acreedor, o en cualquiera de sus filiales o sucursales del Perú y del exterior, para hacerse cobro de las comisiones correspondientes según el tarifario del Acreedor, así como
para amortizar o cancelar sus intereses, reajustes y/o principal de este Pagaré y demás obligaciones señaladas en el mismo, sin que sea necesario aviso o formalidad previa alguna para este efecto, liberando al Acreedor de
cualquier aviso previo o conformidad posterior, y de toda responsabilidad por la realización de los actos mencionados. En caso el cargo antes mencionado se realice a una cuenta de moneda distinta a Dólares de los Estado Unidos de
América, el Deudor autoriza al Acreedor para que utilice el tipo de cambio que normalmente emplee para este tipo de operaciones. 
 Para
todos los efectos y consecuencias que pudieran derivarse de la emisión del presente Pagaré, el Deudor declara que su domicilio se encuentra ubicado en Av. El Derby N°055, Torre 1, Oficinas 1001-1002, Urbanización Lima Polo
and Hunt Club, distrito de Santiago de Surco, provincia y departamento de Lima. 
 De conformidad con lo establecido por el artículo
52° de la Ley de Títulos Valores, queda expresamente establecido que el presente Pagaré no requiere ser protestado. Sin embargo, el tenedor queda facultado a protestarlo por falta de pago si así lo estimase conveniente; caso
en el que asumiremos los gastos de tal diligencia notarial o de la formalidad sustitutoria correspondiente. El protesto podrá ser efectuado mediante notificación que se curse al domicilio del Deudor. 

  
 62 

 Queda establecido que las obligaciones contenidas en este Pagaré no se extinguirán aún
cuando por culpa del Acreedor se hubiese perjudicado este Pagaré, constituyendo el presente acuerdo pacto en contrario a lo dispuesto por el artículo 1233° del Código Civil. 

Queda igualmente establecido que las cuentas, depósitos, bienes o valores que en cualquier moneda mantengamos en el Acreedor, o en cualquiera de
sus subsidiarias o filiales, podrán ser destinadas al pago total o parcial del presente Pagaré, de sus intereses, principal y/o demás obligaciones señaladas en este Pagaré; quedando dichos bienes afectados en
garantía de primer rango, con potestad de aplicación o realización directa y, en el caso de bienes distintos al dinero, al mejor postor, libre de toda responsabilidad por el precio que se obtenga conforme al artículo
1069° del Código Civil. 
 Nos sometemos expresamente a la jurisdicción y competencia de los Jueces y Tribunales del Distrito
Judicial del Cercado de Lima, renunciando al fuero de nuestro domicilio y señalamos como domicilio para estos efectos a aquel que aparece indicado precedentemente. 
 El presente Pagaré es no negociable y se rige por las leyes de la República del Perú.

	 AND TO:
	  	 Each of the Lenders referred to in the Loan Agreement
 (as defined below)

 Dear Sirs, 

In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement dated as of September 17, 2010 (the “Loan
Agreement”), executed among Gold Fields La Cima S.A.A. (the “Company”), as Borrower; The Bank of Nova Scotia and Banco de Crédito del Perú, as Lenders; Scotiabank Perú S.A.A., as Onshore Collateral
Agent; The Bank of Nova Scotia Trust Company of New York, as Offshore Collateral Agent; Banco de Crédito del Perú, as Administrative Agent; and Banco de Crédito del Perú and The Bank of Nova Scotia as Mandated Lead
Arrangers, the Company and each of the Subordinated Creditors detailed in Appendix 1 to this Subordination Agreement (and any Subordinated Creditor that in the future accedes to this Subordination Agreement) hereby irrevocably agree that any debts
that the Company has or may have in the future (each a “Subordinated Debt”) with each of the Subordinated Creditors are and shall be subordinated to the preferred payment of the Secured Obligations, pursuant to the terms and
conditions indicated below. 
 This subordination implies that if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
enforceability of the Subordinated Debt will be suspended and (i) the Subordinated Creditors will be prevented from claiming payment under such Subordinated Debt and (ii) the Company will be prevented from making any payment in connection
with the Subordinated Debts, until the Company has paid in full the Secured Obligations. Furthermore, if for any reason a Subordinated Creditor receives a payment in connection with a Subordinated Debt in breach of the provisions contained in this
Subordination Agreement, the relevant Subordinated Creditor shall be obliged to transfer to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the total amount received plus any applicable compensatory and default interest, at the
rates foreseen in the Loan Agreement. 
 This subordination includes the payment of principal, interest, fees and any amount
owed by the Company to the Subordinated Creditors under any Subordinated Debts, and any reference to payment of the Subordinated Debts includes the extinguishment of any obligations thereunder by any mechanism, whether through payment in cash or in
kind, setoff, novation, settlement, acceleration of terms, subrogation, refinancing, among others. 
 For the avoidance of
doubt, the Parties hereby expressly agree that this Subordination Agreement shall not be construed as a limitation to the Borrowers right to: (i) make Restricted Payments under 

  
 80 

 Section 8.2.4 (Distributions) of the Loan Agreement, provided that no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing or such Event of Default would occur as a consequence of a Restricted Payment; and (ii) repay any portion of its outstanding Subordinated Debt with Gold Fields Corona BVI Limited with the funds disbursed under the
Loan Agreement (as determined by the Borrower). 
 The Parties agree that any Lender may transfer or assign its rights or the
contractual position (in whole or in part) in this Subordination Agreement in accordance with Section 14 of the Loan Agreement. Subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of Section 14 of the Loan Agreement, the Company hereby
grants its consent in advance to such assignment. In any case, the assignment of any Lender’s contractual position in this Subordination Agreement shall be made together with the assignment of said Lender’s contractual position in the Loan
Agreement. 
 This Subordination Agreement is intended to be legally binding and is governed by the Laws of the Republic of
Peru. Any disputes arising from this Subordination Agreement shall be subject to Section 15.11 of the Loan Agreement. 

Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement. 

Yours faithfully,
