To achieve its corporate purpose, the Client may carry out all types of activities related to the development of the cement and industrial mineral industry; mining activities for searching, prospecting, exploration, exploitation, commercialization, general labor, beneficiation and transport; as well as all activities related to the provision of transport services for goods, for itself and for third parties. For such effects, the Client may enter into and execute all acts and contracts for administration and disposal convenient for such purpose, including its participation in other corporations in the Republic of Peru and abroad.

The Client requires a loan to be used to make investments in fixed assets, debt reprofiling and other corporate uses of the Client.

For such effect, the Client has requested a loan from the Bank and the Bank, acceding to grant the requested loan, agrees to grant it this loan for up to the Amount, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein:

2.1.		The Bank grants the Client said loan for the total term of ten (10) years, which includes a grace period of two (2) years for the payment of the principal. The total term shall be counted as from the Closing Date. The principal of the loan shall be reimbursed through thirty-two (32) equal quarterly installments, in accordance with the final Payment Schedule to be established on the Consolidation Date.

		During said Grace Period, the Client shall pay the corresponding compensatory interest at the Compensatory Interest Rate, as well as any other concept other than the amortization of the principal accrued.

		The Client shall also pay the corresponding compensatory interest. The Disbursements made during the Availability Period shall accrue compensatory interest from the moment they are made. Said interest shall be paid on a quarterly basis, according to the Payment Schedule, on each Payment Date, even during the Grace Period.

2.2.		The Loan shall be effectively made through one or more Disbursements to be made within the five (5) Business Days following the date on which the Bank receives the respective Disbursement Request, as per the model contained in Exhibit III, and after having verified, to the Bank’s satisfaction, that each and every one of the conditions precedent set forth in Clause Five have been met.

2.3.		The Loan Amount shall be disbursed to the Client in Nuevos Soles. The Disbursements of the Loan shall be made to the current account in Nuevos Soles opened in the Bank, which the Client indicates in the Disbursement Request.

2.4.		The Disbursements shall be represented through the issuance of a single Promissory Note, which shall be subject to the following rules:

(i)

The Promissory Note shall be issued incomplete, in accordance with the provisions established in Article 10 of Law 27287 — the Securities Act, and as per the form contained in Exhibit II. The date of issue of the Promissory Note shall be the date of the first Disbursement.

(ii)		The Promissory Note shall be issued with the amount of the principal left blank, and without a due date. The amount to be inserted by the Bank shall be that established in the report on the balanced owed, as referred to in Article 132, Section 7 of the General Act, and shall include the amount of the principal, the compensatory interest, the Default Penalty, expenses and Fees enforceable pending payment, as well as the penalties owed to the Bank in accordance with the Loan Agreement. The Promissory Note shall become due on the date on which the Bank issues the balanced owed indicated.

		For such effects, the Client authorizes the Bank to complete the Promissory Note in accordance with the provisions established in the Circular of the Superintendency of Banking, Insurance and Private Pension Fund Management Companies (SBS) G-0090-2001, in case of an Event of Default on the payment obligations of the Client under this Loan Agreement resulting in the termination and/or acceleration of the terms of the Loan in accordance with Clause Twelve.

(iii)		The Client accepts that, as from the due date of the Promissory Note until the effective payment thereof, the amount owed under the Promissory Note shall accrue interest at the Compensatory Interest Rate and the Default Penalty, which the Client accepts in advance.

(iv)		The amount owed by the Client under the Promissory Note shall necessarily be paid in Nuevos Soles, in accordance with the provisions established in Clause Six.

(vi)		A copy of the Promissory Note, duly numbered, shall be delivered to the Client, and the respective delivery shall be placed on record, as well as the number assigned to the Promissory Note, in a proof of delivery form.

(vii)		The Parties expressly agree that in no case shall the delivery or issuing of the Promissory Note extinguish the primitive obligation, even when, due to the fault of the Bank, this is detrimental to the Promissory Note. This is a covenant to the contrary of the provisions established by Article 1233 of the Civil Code.

(viii)		In accordance with the provisions established by Article 1279 of the Civil Code, the issuing, renewal or other accessory change of the Promissory Note, including its substitution and/or replacement with a similar one, shall not constitute the novation of the obligations established in the Loan Agreement.

(ix)		When the transfers, assignments or other acts established in Clause Eighteen are performed, the Client authorizes the free transfer of the Promissory Note to the assignee or new creditor, expressly waiving the right to include any clause that prevents the negotiation thereof in accordance with this clause. The Client shall not be obliged to issue a new Promissory Note in favor of the assignee or new creditor in case of an assignment of contractual position or an assignment of all the rights of the Loan Agreement, unless the Bank, the assignee or the new creditor request that it do so.

2.5.		It is hereby expressly established that the Disbursements of this Loan shall be made after the Closing Date, only during the Availability Period, in accordance with the terms established in this Loan Agreement, and provided that the fulfillment of each and every one of the conditions precedent set forth in Clause Five have been verified, to the satisfaction of the Bank, prior to the Disbursements.

FOUR: DEFAULT PENALTY

The default by the Client on the payment of the Installments on their respective Payment Date or any other amount owed to the Bank for any reason, payable on the occasion that may correspond under this Loan Agreement, or the configuration of any event that constitutes an Event of Default, shall result in the obligation of the Client to pay, until such time as the Event of Default has been rectified, where applicable, in addition to the compensatory interest agreed to, the Default Penalty, as well as any other additional concept agreed to, plus reimbursement for expenses, Fees accrued and enforceable, services and taxes applicable.

In case of the occurrence and during the subsistence of an Event of Default, the Bank shall also have the right to withhold and apply to the amortization and/or payment of the balance owed by the Client all sums, deposits or valuables of any nature, which are in its possession for any reason and are destined to be credited or delivered to it.

7.2		Once the Availability Period has elapsed, if the Client intends to make a partial or total prepayment of the Loan, it shall send the Bank a written notice no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of the prepayment, announcing its intention to prepay.

7.3		If the prepayment is made, the Client shall be obliged to pay the Prepayment Fee.

7.4		The Prepayment Fee shall not apply only in the case that said Prepayment is the result of a medium-term loan structured by BCP, provided that said loan has a Compensatory Interest Rate greater than or equal to that applicable to this Loan.

7.5		Prepayments may be made only on the Payment Dates and for amounts of no less than US$1,000,000 (One Million U.S. Dollars) or amounts that exceed said minimum by a whole multiple thereof.

7.6		Prepayments shall be applied to reducing the principal owed. Accordingly, after each prepayment, the amount of each one of the Installments pending shall be adjusted based on the balance of the principal owed. In case the prepayment is partial, it shall be applied to the payment of the Installments for the payment of the principal, beginning with the final Installment and working progressively backwards. In all cases, any prepayment shall be sufficient to pay off one or more Installments of the principal, but always for the total amount thereof. Therefore, prepayments involving the partial payment of any Installment shall not be accepted.

EIGHT: RENEWAL OF THE PAYMENT OBLIGATION

The Bank may, at its exclusive criteria and without involving any obligation under its responsibility, accept the total or partial renewal of the payment obligations expressed in the foregoing clauses, plus interest and other authorized concepts, plus reimbursement for any expenses, fees, services and taxes applicable, through the renewal or extension of the Promissory Note or the issuing of new Promissory Notes for the balances owed, without this involving a novation, in which case the guarantees granted shall be understood as in force and shall be likewise subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the preceding clauses until the payment in full of the sums the Client owes to the Bank.
