[ ], 2024

TO EACH OF THE PURCHASERS LISTED IN

THE PURCHASER SCHEDULE HERETO:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

HEREDIA INVESTMENTS S.A.C., a corporation organized under the laws of Peru (the “Issuer”), agrees with each of the Purchasers as follows:

SECTION 1. THE NOTES.

Section 1.1. Authorization of Notes. The Issuer authorized the issue and sale of $340,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2025 (the “Initial Notes” and together with any PIK Notes issued pursuant to Section 1.2, collectively the “Notes”) on the Issue Date, of which $[ ]1 Notes remain outstanding as of the date hereof. The Notes shall be substantially in the form set out in Schedule 1. Certain capitalized and other terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 27 and, for purposes of this Agreement, the rules of construction set forth in Section 26.4 shall govern.

Section 1.2. Interest and Interest Rate Determinations.

(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (e) below, the Notes shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum (the “Interest Rate”) equal to the Term SOFR for such Interest Period as determined by the Calculation Agent plus 11.05% per annum or, solely in the event Term SOFR is unavailable for such Interest Period, the Base Rate plus 10.05% per annum for such Interest Period. An additional amount equal to the interest that would be determined pursuant to this Section 1.2(a) for the amount of days occurring from and including the Escrow Date to but excluding the Issue Date shall be payable, in accordance with Section 1.2(b) below, solely to any Purchaser who has provided funds in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, on the first Interest Payment Date following the Escrow Date.

(b) For the period commencing on the Issue Date and ending on the numerically corresponding day in the calendar month that is 24 months thereafter, on each Interest Payment Date, the Issuer shall pay the amount of accrued and unpaid interest as of such Interest Payment Date in kind by issuing additional Notes substantially in the form of Schedule 1 pro rata to the Holders of all Notes at the time outstanding on the relevant Interest Payment Date (the “PIK Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to such accrued and unpaid interest. Any issue of the PIK Notes in connection with an Interest Payment Date will be secured by the Collateral and rank equally and ratably, and be fungible with, the Initial Notes. The Initial Notes and any PIK Notes subsequently issued under this Agreement shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Agreement, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer shall pay all accrued and unpaid interest for the Interest Period ending on the Maturity Date in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(e) (i) If any principal of or interest on the Notes is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, the entire amount of Notes outstanding shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(ii) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(f) Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

Section 1.3. [Reserved].

Section 1.4. Calculation Agent.

(a) TMF Group New York, LLC will serve as the initial “Calculation Agent” for the Notes. In the absence of willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Calculation Agent’s calculation of the applicable interest rate with respect to the Notes for each Interest Period will be final and binding.

(b) In connection with the Calculation Agent’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its duties and exercise of its rights hereunder, the Calculation Agent shall be acting as an agent, and the Calculation Agent is entitled to all the rights, benefits, protections and immunities to which the Intercreditor Agent and the Collateral Agents are entitled as set forth in Section 26.11 of this Agreement and Articles 2 and 3 of the Intercreditor Agreement, as if they were each expressly set forth herein mutatis mutandis. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Financing Document to the contrary, the Calculation Agent shall have no obligation to take any discretionary action or otherwise (and shall have no liability to any Person for acting or refraining to act).

If the Issuer removes the Calculation Agent as set forth above, or if the Calculation Agent resigns (with or without cause) from its respective appointment hereunder by giving at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice to that effect to each of the other parties hereto, the Issuer shall appoint such other leading international commercial bank or investment bank, in consultation with the Required Holders, or other institution that provides the services contemplated herein for such capacity as selected by the Required Holders, in New York. For the avoidance of doubt, without limiting any rights, protections, immunities or indemnities afforded to the Calculation Agent hereunder, phrases such as “satisfactory to the Calculation Agent,” “approved by the Calculation Agent,” “acceptable to the Calculation Agent,” “as determined by the Calculation Agent,” “in the Calculation Agent’s discretion,” “selected by the Calculation Agent,” “elected by the Calculation Agent,” “requested by the Calculation Agent,” and phrases of similar import that authorize and permit the Calculation Agent to approve, disapprove, determine, act or decline to act in its discretion shall by subject to the Calculation Agent receiving written direction from the Issuer and/or Required Holders (or such other number or percentage of Holders as shall be otherwise expressly set forth herein), as applicable, to take such action or to exercise such rights. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall require the Calculation Agent to exercise any discretionary acts. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Calculation Agent have any liability for Benchmark Replacement set forth in Section 1.5.

Section 1.5. Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Financing Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Financing Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Financing Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Financing Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Holders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Financing Document so long as the Issuer has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Holders comprising the Required Holders. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Issuer will have the right, with the consent of the Required Holders, to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Financing Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party (other than the Required Holders) to this Agreement.

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Calculation Agent, as directed in writing by the Issuer, will promptly notify the Holders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Issuer, with the consent of the Required Holders, pursuant to this Section 1.5, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or

 

- 3 -


non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and shall be made upon the consent of the Issuer and the Required Holders and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Financing Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 1.5.

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Issuer, with the consent of the Required Holders or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Issuer, with the consent of the Required Holders, may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Issuer, with the consent of the Required Holders, may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Issuer’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (i) the Issuer may revoke any pending request for the continuation of a SOFR-based Interest Period during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Issuer will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an Interest Period based on Base Rate and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR-based Interest Periods will be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate at the end of the applicable Interest Period. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

SECTION 2. SALE AND PURCHASE OF NOTES.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuer will issue and sell to each Purchaser and each Purchaser will purchase from the Issuer, at the Closing provided for in Section 3, Notes in the principal amount specified opposite such Purchaser’s name in the Purchaser Schedule at the purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof. The Purchasers’ obligations hereunder are several and not joint obligations and no Purchaser shall have any liability to any Person for the performance or non-performance of any obligation by any other Purchaser hereunder.

(b) The Notes are to be purchased by the Purchasers without being registered under the Securities Act, in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation S of the Securities Act.

SECTION 15. TAX INDEMNIFICATION.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any amounts to be paid by the Issuer under the Financing Documents or the Notes shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent (which in any event would be not the Calculation Agent), then the Issuer or the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such deduction or withholding is made on account of a Tax that is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Issuer shall be assumed by the Issuer or be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 15(a)) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) The Issuer shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Holder timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Issuer to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 15, the Issuer shall deliver to the Holder the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Holder.

(d) The Issuer shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from any payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Issuer by a Holder (with a copy to the Calculation Agent) or by the Calculation Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Holder, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) The Issuer shall indemnify the Holder within ten (10) days after demand thereof for any Taxes attributable to such Issuer’s failure to comply with the provisions of relating to the maintenance of a register pursuant to Section 16.1.

(f) If a Holder is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made by or on account of any amounts to be paid by the Issuer under the Financing Documents or the Notes, it shall deliver to the Issuer and the Calculation Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Calculation Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Calculation Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, a Holder, if reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Calculation Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Calculation Agent as will enable the Issuer or the Calculation Agent to determine whether or not such Holder is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation shall not be required if in such Holder’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Holder to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Holder.

 

- 31 -


(g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 15 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 15(g)), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 15 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of an indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g), the payment of which would place such indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) The indemnification that the Issuer should pay to the Holder as stipulated in this Section 15 shall not apply to the extent that the payment of the Taxes is (i) compensated for by an increased payment under Section 15(a) or (ii) in respect of an amount of any Luxembourg registration duties (droits d’ enregistrement) in Luxembourg when such registration duties relate to a voluntary registration which is not required to maintain, preserve, establish, enforce or otherwise assert the rights of the parties under the Financing Documents.

(i) The parties agree that the Notes will be treated as indebtedness that is subject to Section 1.1275-4 of the United States Treasury Regulations for U.S. federal income tax purposes and all Notes shall include a legend as required under Section 1.1275-3 of the United States Treasury Regulations. Upon request, the Issuer will promptly make available to any Holder information regarding the issue price, amount of original issue discount, issue date, and yield to maturity, comparable yield and projected payment schedule of the Notes.

(j) The obligations of each party under this Section 15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Calculation Agent or any assignment by or replacement of an Issuer, the payment, termination or transfer of any obligation under the Financing Documents, and the provisions of this Section 15 shall also apply to successive transferees of the Notes.
