References herein to “U.S. $,” “$,” “U.S. dollars” or “dollars” are to United States dollars.

(b) The Bonds are issuable in fully registered form, without coupons. The Bonds are issuable in authorized denominations of U.S.$1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. The Bonds, and transfer thereof, must be registered as provided in Section 7 below and in the Fiscal Agency Agreement. A person in whose name a Bond is registered may (to the fullest extent permitted by law) be treated at all times, by all persons and for all purposes as the absolute owner of such Bond regardless of any notice of ownership, theft or loss or of any writing thereon.

(c) The Bonds will mature on March 14, 2037 (the “Maturity Date”).

(d) Peru will make payments of principal on the Bonds in three equal installments on March 14, 2035, March 14, 2036 (each, a “Principal Payment Date”) and on the Maturity Date.

“Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions or trust companies are authorized or obligated by law to close in The City of New York or Lima, Peru.

“Interest Payment Date” means March 14 and September 14 of each year, commencing September 14, 2007 and ending on March 14, 2037, provided that if any such day is not a Business Day, then the applicable Interest Payment Date shall be the next following Business Day.

“Payment Date” means any Principal Payment Date and/or any Interest Payment Date, as applicable.

5

Payments and Paying Agents. (a) Principal of and interest on the Bonds will be payable in U.S. dollars. Principal of each Bond and interest payable on the Maturity Date will be payable in U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the person in whose name such Bond is registered on the Maturity Date, upon presentation and surrender of the Bond at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent in The City of New York or, subject to applicable laws and regulations, at the office of any paying agent. Interest on and/or principal of each Bond (other than interest and/or principal payable on the Maturity Date) will be payable to the person in whose name such Bond is registered at the close of business on the Record Date (as defined below) for the relevant Payment Date. Peru will make payments of principal and interest on the Bonds by providing the Fiscal Agent the amount of such payment, in U.S. dollars in immediately available funds, on or before the Payment Date, and directing the Fiscal Agent to make a wire transfer of such amount in U.S. dollars to DTC or its nominee as the registered owner of the Bonds, which will receive the funds for distribution to the beneficial owners of the Bonds; provided that Peru may, subject to applicable laws and regulations, make payments of principal and interest on the Bonds by mailing, or directing the Fiscal Agent to mail, from funds made available by Peru for such purpose, a check to the person entitled thereto, on or before the due date for the payment at the address that appears on the security register maintained by the Fiscal Agent on the applicable Record Date. The Record Date with respect to any Payment Date will be the 15th day prior to such Payment Date (each such day, a “Record Date”), whether or not such day is a Business Day.

None of Peru, the Fiscal Agent nor any paying agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in the Bonds or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

(a) In the event that the maturity of the Bonds is accelerated in accordance with Section 4 below, holders of the Bonds will be permitted to elect, by providing notice to Peru, with a copy to the Fiscal Agent, on the date of acceleration or on any date thereafter prior to payment, to receive the amount payable in respect of the Bonds at such time in the currency of Peru.

(b) Any payment of principal or interest required to be made on a Payment Date that is not a Business Day (or, in the case of a Luxembourg Paying Agent, is a day on which banks in Luxembourg are required or authorized by law to close) need not be made on such day, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day (or, in the case of a Luxembourg Paying Agent, the next succeeding day on which banks in Luxembourg are not required or authorized by law to close) with the same force and effect as if made on such Payment Date, and no interest will accrue with respect to such payment for the period from and after such Payment Date.

(c) So long as any of the Bonds are outstanding, Peru shall maintain a paying agent and a transfer agent in a western European city for payment on and transfers of the Bonds (which will be Luxembourg, so long as the Bonds are admitted to trading on the Euro MTF Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of such Exchange so require), a Registrar having a specified office in The City of New York and a paying agent having a specified office in The City of New York. Peru has initially appointed The Bank of New York (Luxembourg) S.A. as Luxembourg paying agent and transfer agent for the Bonds and The Bank of New York, as

6

Registrar and Paying Agent. Subject to the foregoing, Peru shall have the right at any time to terminate any such appointment and to appoint any other paying agents or transfer agents in such other places as it may deem appropriate upon notice in accordance with Section 11 below.

(d) Pending payment of principal or interest on the Bonds that becomes due, the Fiscal Agent shall hold in trust, for the benefit of the beneficial owners of the Bonds, the amounts transferred by Peru to the Fiscal Agent for such purpose. Any moneys held by the Fiscal Agent in respect of the Bonds and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amounts shall have become due and payable must be returned by the Fiscal Agent to Peru and the holders of such Bonds shall thereafter look only to Peru for any payment to which such holders may be entitled. The Bonds will become void unless presented for payment within five years after the Maturity Date (or such shorter period as shall be prescribed by applicable law).

(e) All notifications, opinions, determinations, certificates, calculations, quotations and decisions given, expressed, made or obtained for the purposes of the provisions hereof (in the absence of willful default, bad faith or manifest error) will be binding on Peru, the Fiscal Agent, the Registrar, the Paying Agent, each other paying agent and all holders of Bonds.

Status and Negative Pledge. (a) The Bonds will be direct, general, unconditional, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of Peru. Peru has pledged its full faith and credit for the due and punctual payment of all amounts due in respect of the Bonds. The Bonds will rank pare passu, without any preference among themselves, with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Peru relating to External Indebtedness.

(a) So long as any of the Bonds remain outstanding, Peru shall not create or permit to subsist any Security Interest in the whole or any part of its present or future revenues or assets to secure Public External Indebtedness of Peru, unless the Bonds are secured equally and ratably with such Public External Indebtedness; provided, however, that Peru may create or permit to subsist:

(vi) Security Interests arising by operation of a currently existing law in connection with Public External Indebtedness including, without limitation, any right of set-off with respect to demand or time deposits maintained with financial institutions and bankers’ liens with respect to property held by financial institutions (in each case deposited with or delivered to such financial institutions in the ordinary course of the depositor’s activities);

(vii) Security Interests created in connection with the transactions contemplated by Peru’s 1996 financing plan dated June 5, 1996, and its implementing documentation, including Security Interests to secure obligations under the collateralized bonds issued under the 1996 financing plan (the Fixed Rate Bonds due 2027 (“Par Bonds”), the Floating Rate Bonds due 2027 (“Discount Bonds”) and the Front-Loaded Interest Reduction Bonds due 2017 (“FLIRBs”)) and any Security Interest securing obligations of Peru outstanding as of June 5, 1996, to the extent required to be equally and ratably secured with any such bonds;

(viii) Security Interests issued upon surrender or cancellation of the Par Bonds, the Discount Bonds or the FLIRBs, or the principal amount of any Public External Indebtedness outstanding as of June 5, 1996, in each case, to the extent such Security Interest is created to secure Public External Indebtedness on a basis comparable to the Par Bonds, the Discount Bonds and the FLIRBs;

Events of Default. (a) Each of the following events will constitute an “Event of Default” under the Bonds:

(i) if Peru fails to pay interest or principal on the Bonds when due and such failure continues for a period of 30 days; or

(ii) if Peru does not perform any other obligation under any Bond and such failure is incapable of remedy or is not remedied within 60 days after written notice has been given to Peru by the Fiscal Agent; or

(viii) if Peru fails to maintain its membership in, and its eligibility to use the general resources of, the International Monetary Fund.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding may by written notice given to Peru (with a copy to the Fiscal Agent) declare the Bonds held by it to be immediately due and payable; and upon such declaration the aggregate principal amount of such Bonds and the accrued interest on such Bonds will become immediately due and payable upon the date that such written notice is received at the office of the Fiscal Agent, unless prior to such date all Events of Default in respect of all Bonds have been cured. The right to give such acceleration notice will terminate if the event giving rise to such right has been cured before such right is exercised. Holders of Bonds holding in the aggregate at least 50% in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Bonds may waive any existing defaults, and rescind or annul any notice of acceleration, on behalf of all bondholders, if (i) following the declaration of the Bonds due and payable immediately, Peru has deposited with the Fiscal Agent an amount sufficient to pay all overdue installments of principal, interest and Additional Amounts in respect of the Bonds as well as the reasonable fees and compensation of the Fiscal Agent; and (ii) all other Events of Default have been remedied. In the event of a declaration of acceleration because of an Event of Default set forth in clause (iii) or (iv) above, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the event triggering such Event of Default pursuant to such clause (iii) or (iv) shall be remedied, cured or waived by the holders of the relevant indebtedness, within 60 days after such event.

(c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 4(a), Peru shall give written notice promptly after becoming aware thereof to the holder of each Bond (with a copy to the Fiscal Agent). Within 15 days after becoming aware of the occurrence of an event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would, unless remedied, cured or waived, become an Event of Default under clause (iii) or (iv) of Section 4(a), Peru shall give written

10

notice thereof to the holder of each Bond (with a copy to the Fiscal Agent). Any notice required to be given pursuant to this Section 4(c) to each holder of a Bond may be given by Peru directly to the Fiscal Agent; provided that Peru will cause the Fiscal Agent promptly to give notice of each Event of Default specified in such notice to the holders of Bonds.

Purchase of the Bonds by Peru. Peru may at any time purchase or acquire any of the Bonds in any manner and at any price. Bonds that are purchased or acquired by Peru may, at Peru’s discretion, be held, resold or surrendered to the Fiscal Agent for cancellation, but any Bond so purchased by Peru may not be re-issued or resold except in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable law.

Additional Amounts. (a) The payment by Peru of principal of or interest on the Bonds will be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by Peru, any political subdivision thereof or any taxing authority in Peru. If Peru is required by law to make any such withholding or deduction, it will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order to ensure that the net amounts receivable by the holders of Bonds after such withholding or deduction shall equal the amount that would have been receivable in respect of the Bonds in the absence of such withholding or deduction; except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to any Bond to or on behalf of a holder who is liable for taxes or duties in respect of such Bond (i) by reason of such holder having some connection with Peru other than the mere holding of such Bond or the receipt of principal of or interest on any Bond; (ii) by reason of the failure to comply with any reasonable certification, identification or other reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with Peru, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, of the holder of a Bond or any interest therein or rights in respect thereof, if compliance is required by Peru, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, pursuant to applicable law or to any international treaty in effect, as a precondition to exemption from such deduction or withholding; or (iii) by reason of the failure of such holder to present such holder’s Bond for payment within 30 days after the principal of or interest on any Bond is first made available to payment to the holder.

(a) Whenever in this Global Bond there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or interest on any Bond, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

(b) No Additional Amounts shall be payable in respect of any Bond to a holder that is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such Bond, to the extent the beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner would not have been entitled to receive payment of the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the holder of such Bond.

Replacement, Exchange and Transfer. (a) If any Bond becomes mutilated or is defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver a new Bond, on such

11

terms as Peru and the Fiscal Agent may require, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced Bond or in lieu of and in substitution for the destroyed, lost or stolen Bond. In every case of mutilation, defacement, destruction, loss or theft, the applicant for a substitute Bond must furnish to Peru and the Fiscal Agent such indemnity as Peru and the Fiscal Agent may require and evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Bond and of the ownership thereof. In every case of mutilation or defacement of a Bond, the holder must surrender to the Fiscal Agent the Bond so mutilated or defaced. In addition, prior to the issuance of any substitute Bond, Peru may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Fiscal Agent) connected therewith. If any Bond that has matured or is about to mature becomes mutilated or defaced or is apparently destroyed, lost or stolen, Peru may pay or authorize payment of such Bond without issuing a substitute Bond.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Fiscal Agency Agreement, a Bond or Bonds may be exchanged for a Bond or Bonds of equal aggregate principal amount in such same or different authorized denominations as may be requested by the holder, by surrender of such Bond or Bonds at the office of the Registrar, or at the office of any transfer agent, together with a written request for the exchange. Any registration of transfer or exchange shall be effected upon Peru being satisfied with the documents of title and identity of the person making the request and subject to such reasonable regulations as Peru may from time to time agree with the Fiscal Agent.

(b) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Fiscal Agency Agreement, a Bond may be transferred in whole or in part by the holder or holders surrendering the Bond for registration of transfer at the office of the Registrar in The City of New York or at the office of any transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to Peru and the Registrar or any such transfer agent, as the case may be, duly executed by the holder or holders thereof or its attorney-in-fact or attorneys-in-fact duly authorized in writing.

(c) No service charge will be imposed upon the holder of a Bond in connection with exchanges for Bonds of a different denomination or for registration of transfers thereof, but Peru and the Fiscal Agent may charge the party requesting any registration of transfer, exchange or registration of Bonds a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge required to be paid in connection with such transfer, exchange or registration.

Amendments and Waivers. (a) Section 9.2 of the Fiscal Agency Agreement, which Section is hereby incorporated mutatis mutandis by reference herein, provides, among other things, (i) with respect to matters other than Reserved Matters (as defined below), that (A) at any meeting of holders of the Bonds duly called and held as specified in the Fiscal Agency Agreement, upon the affirmative vote, in person or (in the case of registered owners of the Bonds) by proxy thereunto duly authorized in writing, of the holders of at least 66 ²/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding represented at such meeting, or (B) with the written consent of the holders of at least 66 ²/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, Peru and the Fiscal Agent may modify, amend or supplement the terms

12

of the Bonds or, with respect to the Bonds, the Fiscal Agency Agreement in any way, other than a modification, amendment or supplement constituting a Reserved Matter, and the holders of the Bonds may make, take or give any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the Bonds to be made, given or taken by holders of the Bonds, other than a waiver or other action constituting a Reserved Matter; and, (ii) with respect to Reserved Matters, that, (A) at any meeting of holders of the Bonds duly called and held as specified in the Fiscal Agency Agreement, upon the affirmative vote, in person or (in the case of registered owners of the Bonds) by proxy thereunto duly authorized in writing, of the holders of at least 75% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, or (B) with the written consent of the holders of at least 75% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, Peru and the Fiscal Agent may make any modification, amendment, supplement or waiver of the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the terms and conditions of the Bonds that would (1) change the due date for payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or any installment of interest on the Bonds, (2) reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds, the portion of such aggregate principal amount which is payable upon acceleration of the maturity of the Bonds, the interest rate thereon or the premium payable upon redemption thereof, (3) change the coin or currency in which or the required places at which payment with respect to interest, premium or principal in respect of the Bonds is payable, (4) shorten the period during which Peru is not permitted to redeem the Bonds, or permit Peru to redeem the Bonds if, prior to such action, Peru is not permitted to do so, (5) reduce the proportion of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds the vote or consent of the holders of which is necessary to modify, amend or supplement the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the terms and conditions of the Bonds or to make, take or give any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided hereby or thereby to be made, taken or given, or change the definition of “Outstanding” with respect to the Bonds, (6) change the obligation of Peru to pay additional amounts with respect to the Bonds, (7) change the governing law provision of the Bonds, (8) change the courts to the jurisdiction of which Peru has submitted, Peru’s obligation to appoint and maintain a Process Agent with an office in New York, as set forth in Section 10 hereof, or Peru’s waiver of immunity, in respect of actions or proceedings brought by any holder based upon the Bonds, as set forth in Section 10 hereof, (9) in connection with an exchange offer for the Bonds, amend any Event of Default (as defined herein), or (10) change the status of the Bonds, as set forth herein. Each of the actions set forth in clauses (1) through (10) of the preceding sentence is referred to herein as a “Reserved Matter.”

(a) Peru and the Fiscal Agent may, without the vote or consent of any holder of Bonds, amend the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the Bonds for the purpose of (i) adding to the covenants of Peru for the benefit of the holders of Bonds, or (ii) surrendering any right or power conferred upon Peru in respect of the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the Bonds, or (iii) providing security or collateral for the Bonds, or (iv) curing any ambiguity in any provision, or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained herein or in the Fiscal Agency Agreement in a manner which does not adversely affect the interest of any holder of Bonds, or (v) effecting any amendment of the Fiscal Agency Agreement (including, to the extent necessary to provide for the issuance of other Bonds and of Warrants) or the Bonds which Peru and the Fiscal Agent mutually deem necessary or desirable so long as any such amendment does not, and will not, adversely affect the rights or interests of any holder of Bonds.

13

(b) It shall not be necessary for the vote or consent of the holders of Bonds to approve the particular form of any proposed modification, amendment, supplement, request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but it shall be sufficient if such vote or consent shall approve the substance thereof. Any such modification, amendment, supplement, request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action taken, made or given in accordance with Section 8(a) hereof shall be conclusive and binding on all holders of Bonds, whether or not they have given such consent or cast such vote, or were present at any meeting and whether or not notation of such modification, amendment, supplement, request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action is made upon the Bonds.

(c) Any notice of meeting of holders of Bonds shall set forth the time and place of such meeting and in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting, and shall be given to each holder as provided in Section 11 hereof.

Governing Law. This Global Bond is governed by and must be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except that all matters governing authorization and execution of the Bonds by Peru are governed by the laws of Peru.

Jurisdiction. (a) In the Fiscal Agency Agreement, Peru has agreed that in connection with any suit, action or proceeding against it or its properties, assets or revenues arising out of or relating to the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the Bonds (a “Related Proceeding”), Peru shall submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or U.S. federal court sitting in New York City, and any appellate court thereof (the “Specified Courts”). Peru has also agreed that (i) all claims in respect of such Related Proceeding may be heard and determined in such Specified Courts; (ii) any judgment obtained in the Specified Courts arising out of any Related Proceeding may be enforced or executed in any other court of competent jurisdiction whatsoever; and (iii) any judgment obtained in any such other court as a result of such enforcement or execution may be enforced or executed in any such other court of competent jurisdiction (all such courts other than Specified Courts being called herein “Other Courts”), by means of a suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law; provided that in order to enforce or execute any such judgment ordering any payment by Peru, Peruvian courts will require that such payments be included in the Budget Law corresponding to the fiscal year on which such payment is to be due (but Peru will use its best efforts to cause such payment to be included in such Budget Law). Peru has irrevocably submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Specified Courts solely for the purpose of any Related Proceeding and, for enforcing or executing any judgment arising in connection with a Related Proceeding as described above (a “Related Judgment”), of the Specified Courts and each Other Court.

(a) Peru has agreed that CT Corporation, presently located at 111 Eighth Avenue, 13th Floor, New York, New York, will act as its process agent (the “Process Agent”) and that Peru will maintain at all times an agent with an office in New York to act as its Process Agent. The Process Agent will receive on behalf of Peru and its property all writs, process and summonses in any Related Proceeding or any suit, action or proceeding to enforce or execute any Related Judgment brought against it in such Specified Courts. Failure of the Process Agent to give any notice to Peru of any such service of process shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment based thereon. Nothing in the Fiscal Agency Agreement or herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability to serve any such writs, process or summonses in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

14

(b) Peru has irrevocably consented to and waived, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in any Related Proceeding brought in the Specified Courts or to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding brought solely for the purpose of enforcing or executing any Related Judgment in the Specified Courts or Other Courts, and has further irrevocably waived, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum, to the maintenance of any Related Proceeding in a Specified Court or any such suit, action or proceeding to enforce or execute a Related Judgment in any Other Court.

(c) To the extent that Peru or any of its revenues, assets or properties may be entitled to any sovereign or other immunity from jurisdiction or any other legal process under any law, Peru has agreed not to claim and to waive such immunity to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction. This waiver covers Peru’s sovereign immunity and immunity from prejudgment attachment, post judgment attachment and attachment in aid of execution, but does not extend to the attachment of revenues, assets and property of Peru located in Peru unless permitted under Peruvian law. Additionally, in accordance with Peruvian law currently in effect, Peru’s waiver of immunity does not extend to property that is (i) used by a diplomatic or consular mission of Peru; (ii) of a military character and under the control of a military authority or defense agency of Peru; (iii) public property; (iv) shares of Peruvian public sector entities or shares of Peruvian private sector entities owned or controlled by Peru or by a Peruvian public sector entity, or revenues collected from the sale of such shares, to the extent such shares or revenues are exempt by Peruvian law from attachment or execution; or (v) funds deposited in Peru’s accounts held in the Peruvian financial system that constitute public domain property.

Peru, however, has reserved the right to plead sovereign immunity under the U.S. Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (the “Immunities Act”) with respect to actions brought against it under U.S. federal securities laws or any state securities law. Without an effective waiver of immunity by Peru with respect to such actions, it would be impossible to obtain a U.S. judgment in such an action against Peru unless a court were to determine that Peru is not entitled under the Immunities Act to sovereign immunity with respect to such action. In addition, execution upon property of Peru located in the United States to enforce a judgment obtained under the Immunities Act may not be possible except in the limited circumstances specified in the Immunities Act.

Even if a U.S. judgment could be obtained against Peru in any such action, it may not be possible to enforce in Peru a judgment based on such a U.S. judgment.

Peru has also consented generally for the purposes of the State Immunity Act of 1978 of the United Kingdom to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with any Related Proceeding or Related Judgment.

Notices. Notices will be mailed to holders of Bonds at their registered addresses and will be deemed to have been given on the date of such mailing. All notices to holders of the Bonds will be published, if and so long as the Bonds are admitted for trading on the Euro MTF Market

15

of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of such exchange so require, in a daily newspaper of general circulation in Luxembourg. It is expected that such publication will be made in the D’Wort. If publication as aforesaid is not practicable, notice will be validly given if made in accordance with the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

Further Issues. Peru may, from time to time, without the consent of the holders of the Bonds, create and issue additional bonds having the same terms and conditions as the Bonds, except for the issue date, issue price and the amount of the first payment of interest, which additional bonds may be consolidated and form a single series with the outstanding Bonds.

as Joint Dealer Managers under the

Dealer Manager Agreement referred to below

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to Section 11(f) of the Dealer Manager Agreement dated as of February 15, 2007 (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”) among the Republic of Peru (the “Republic”) and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as the Joint Dealer Managers named in the Dealer Manager Agreement, relating to the Republic’s offer to holders of the outstanding bonds identified in the Prospectus Supplement (collectively, the “Bonds”) of the Republic to exchange the Bonds for new bonds identified in the Prospectus Supplement (collectively, the “New Bonds”) and tender certain Bonds for cash. The New Bonds will be issued pursuant to a Fiscal Agency Agreement, dated as of February 6, 2003, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated November 21, 2003, and Amendment No. 2, dated October 14, 2004, (the “Fiscal Agency Agreement”), between the Republic and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., currently The Bank of New York, (the “Fiscal Agent”). The Dealer Manager Agreement and the Fiscal Agency Agreement (together, the “Agreements”) and the New Bonds are more fully described in the Registration Statement and Invitation Materials prepared by the Republic in connection with the Invitation. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms in the Dealer Manager Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

In connection with the opinions set forth below, I have reviewed the following documents:

(a) the Dealer Manager Agreement;

(b) the Registration Statement;

In addition, I have received the originals or copies certified or otherwise certified to my satisfaction of all such other documents, agreements and instruments and such treaties, laws, rules, decrees and certificates of public officials and representatives of the Republic as I have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed.

In rendering the opinions set forth in this letter I have assured the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals and the conformity of originals of all documents submitted to me as copies. In addition, I have assumed, and have not independently verified, that all signatures on all such agreements and comments are genuine (other than signatures of officials of the Republic) and the accuracy as to factual matters of each document I have reviewed.

Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

1. The Republic has full power and authority to execute and deliver the Dealer Manager Agreement and all other documents and instruments to be executed and delivered by the Republic thereunder and under the Fiscal Agency Agreement, to assume the obligations to be assumed by it as provided therein and to perform and observe the provisions thereof on its part to be performed or observed and to issue the New Bonds, acquire Bonds for cash, and to perform the terms thereof and to exchange Bonds for New Bonds, subject to the conditions set forth in the Invitation Materials; and, assuming that the Dealer Manager Agreement and the New Bonds constitute legally binding agreements under the laws of the State of New York, the Dealer Manager Agreement constitutes, and upon due execution, authentication, issuance and delivery, the New Bonds will, and the Fiscal Agency Agreement does, constitute, legal, valid and binding obligations of the Republic in accordance with their respective terms.

2. The execution, delivery and performance of the Dealer Manager Agreement, the issuance, offer and delivery of the New Bonds and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by the Agreements (and compliance with the terms thereof) and

the exchange of Bonds for New Bonds and the acquisition of Bonds for cash do not and will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach of any constitutional provision, any provision of any treaty, convention, statute, law, regulation or decree, or order of any government, governmental body or court, domestic or foreign court order or similar authority binding upon the Republic, (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under any fiscal agency agreement, trust deed, contract, agreement or instrument to which the Republic or any Governmental Agency is a party or by which any of them or any of their respective assets or properties are bound, (iii) result in the creation of any lien or encumbrance upon such properties or assets or (iv) cause a default to arise or a moratorium in respect of any obligations of the Republic or any Governmental Agency to be effected.

3. Except as otherwise described in the Invitation Materials and for those that have been previously obtained, no consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any Peruvian court, government or governmental agency or body or any third party is required to be taken, fulfilled, performed or obtained in the Republic or elsewhere (including, without limitation, the obtaining of any consent, approval or license or the making of any filing or registration) for the execution and delivery of the Dealer Manager Agreement, or for the issue, exchange, delivery and performance of the New Bonds as contemplated herein and in the Registration Statement and the Invitation Materials, or for the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by the Agreements and the compliance by the Republic with the terms of the Agreements, or for the validity or enforceability of the Agreements against the Republic; and Mrs. Betty Sotelo Bazán has been duly appointed as Authorized Representative of the Republic in connection with the Dealer Manager Agreement, the New Bonds and the documents related thereto.

4. Under the laws of Peru, neither Peru nor any of its property, except for (i) property used by a diplomatic or consular mission of Peru; (ii) property of a military character and under the control of a military authority or defense agency of Peru; (iii) public property; (iv) shares of Peruvian public sector entities or shares of Peruvian private sector entities owned or controlled by Peru or by a Peruvian public sector entity, or revenues collected from the sale of such shares, to the extent such shares or revenues are exempt by Peruvian law from attachment or execution; or (v) funds deposited in Peru’s accounts held in the Peruvian financial system that constitute public domain property, has any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or from execution, attachment or any other legal process.

5. The waivers of immunity by Peru contained in the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Exchange Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the New Bonds, the appointment of the process agent in the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Exchange Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the New Bonds, the consent by Peru to the jurisdiction of the courts specified in the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Exchange Agency

Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement, and the terms and conditions of the New Bonds and the provision that the laws of the State of New York govern the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Exchange Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the New Bonds, are irrevocably binding on Peru.

6. The Dealer Manager Agreement, the Exchange Agency Agreement and the Fiscal Agency Agreement are, and upon authentication by the Fiscal Agent, the New Bonds will be, in proper legal form under the laws of the Republic for the enforcement thereof in the Republic against the Republic.

7. Any judgment issued by a New York court under the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Exchange Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement, or the New Bonds will be recognized as legally binding and may be enforced or executed in the Republic against the Republic without the local court reopening the case; provided that the following requirements are met: (i) the judgment does not resolve matters under the exclusive jurisdiction of Peruvian courts (such as matters involving Peruvian real estate property); (ii) such court had jurisdiction under its own conflicts of law rules and under general principles of international procedural jurisdiction; (iii) the defendant was served in accordance with the laws of the place where the proceeding took place, was granted reasonable opportunity to appear before such foreign court, and was guaranteed due process rights; (iv) the judgment has the status of res judicata as defined in the jurisdiction of the court rendering such judgment; (v) there is no pending litigation in the Republic between the same parties for the same dispute, which shall have been initiated before the commencement of the proceeding that concluded with the foreign judgment; (vi) the judgment is not incompatible with another judgment that fulfills the requirements of recognition and enforceability established by Peruvian law and such foreign judgment was rendered first; (vii) the judgment is not contrary to public order or good morals; and (viii) it is not proven that such foreign court denies enforcement of Peruvian judgments or engages in a review of the merits thereof. Notwithstanding the above, the execution by Peruvian courts of any judgment ordering payment of any principal or interest arising from the New Bonds by the Republic will be subject to availability of funds according to the statute passed by the Peruvian Congress setting forth the budget corresponding to the fiscal year on which such payment is to be due.

8. As of the date of this opinion, there is no tax, duty, levy, impost, deduction, governmental charge or withholding imposed by the Republic or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein by virtue of the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Dealer Manager Agreement (except for court fees and taxes incurred in connection with enforcement proceedings) or to ensure the legality, enforceability, validity or admissibility into evidence of the Agreements or of any other document to be furnished thereunder and neither is it necessary that the Agreements be submitted to, filed or recorded with any court or other authority in the Republic to ensure such legality, validity,

4

“ DECENIO DE LAS PERSONAS CON DISCAPACIDAD EN EL PERU”

“AÑO DEL DEBER CIUDADANO”

MINISTERIO DE ECONOMIA Y FINANZAS

Oficina General de Asesoría Jurídica

enforceability or admissibility into evidence (except for translation, court fees and taxes incurred in connection with enforcement proceedings).

9. The New Bonds (assuming they are issued substantially in the form of bonds of the same series that were initially issued), when duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered pursuant to the Invitation and the Fiscal Agency Agreement, will be the direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations of the Republic; the full faith and credit of the Republic will be pledged for the due and punctual payment of the principal of, interest on, and any additional amount required to be paid with respect to the New Bonds and the performance of the covenants therein contained; the New Bonds will rank pari passu in priority of payment and in all other respects with all other External Indebtedness (as defined in Base Prospectus under “Description of the Securities”) of the Republic.

10. When issued, the New Bonds (assuming they are issued substantially in the form of bonds of the same series that were initially issued) and all payments thereon will be made without deduction and free from any and all stamp or issuance or transfer taxes and no income, capital gains or withholding taxes or other charges of whatsoever nature of the Republic, except to the extent that such New Bonds or payments will be held or received by persons who are subject to tax for reasons other than the mere holding of such New Bonds or receiving payments thereon.

11. It is not necessary under the laws of the Republic that the Joint Dealer Managers be licensed, qualified or entitled to carry on business in the Republic by reason of the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Dealer Manager Agreement, and the Joint Dealer Manager will not be deemed resident, domiciled, to be carrying on business or subject to taxation in the Republic solely by reason of the execution, delivery, performance outside the Republic or enforcement of the Dealer Manager Agreement.

12. The Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus and their filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission have been duly authorized by and on behalf of the Republic, and the Registration Statement has been duly executed by and on behalf of the Republic. Mrs. Betty Sotelo Bazán and Mr. Helí Pelaez Castro have been duly appointed as the Authorized Representatives of the Republic in connection with the Registration Statement.

13. The statements under the captions “The Republic of Peru”, “The Economy”, “Balance of Payments and Foreign Trade”, “The Monetary System”, “Public Sector Finances”, “Public Sector Debt”, “Description of the Securities” and “Taxation” in the Base Prospectus and under the captions “Recent Developments”, “Description of the Reopened Bonds and the 2037 Bonds” and “Taxation” in the Prospectus Supplement insofar as such statements constitute a summary of the documents or matters referred to therein, taken as a whole, are an accurate summary of such documents and matters.

14. Based upon due inquiry of officials of the Republic involved in the preparation of the Registration Statement and the Invitation Materials, nothing has come to my attention that would caused me to believe that the Registration Statement and the Invitation Materials (except for financial information and other financial data contained or incorporated therein, as to which I express no belief), did not, as of the dates thereof, and do not, as of the date hereof, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at such dates, not misleading.

15. The laws of the Republic do not require any statute or regulation or legal or governmental proceeding, or any contract or document of the Republic of any character, to be described in the Registration Statement and the Invitation Materials.

16. The execution and delivery of the Dealer Manager Agreement, the New Bonds and all other documents to be executed and delivered by the Republic thereunder, the incurrence of obligations therein set forth, the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated and the issuance and delivery of the New Bonds do not, and will not, result in the exercise of, or give rise to a right to exercise, any put, call or other option which, if exercised, might result in a material adverse change in the financial condition of the Republic and there are no puts, calls or other options to which the Republic is subject which if exercised would result in such a change.

17. Under the laws of the Republic, the Republic has (i) validly and irrevocably submitted to the jurisdiction of any New York State court or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in any action arising out of or based on the Dealer Manager Agreement; (ii) validly and irrevocably submitted to the jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court located in New York City, State of New York, in any action arising out of or based on the Fiscal Agency Agreement; (iii) validly and irrevocably waived any objection to the venue of any such action in any such court; and (iv) validly appointed CT Corporation, presently located at 111 Eighth Avenue, 13th floor, New York, New York, as its authorized agent for the purpose described therein; service of process effected in the manner set forth in the Dealer Manager Agreement or the Fiscal Agency Agreement, as applicable, will be effective to confer valid personal jurisdiction over the Republic in any such action; and the waiver by the Republic under the Dealer Manager Agreement or the Fiscal Agency Agreement, as applicable, of any immunity to jurisdiction to which it may otherwise be entitled (including sovereign immunity) is legal, valid and binding under the laws of the Republic.

The opinions set forth above are subject in all respects to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

We have acted as United States counsel to the Republic of Peru (the “Republic”) in connection with an invitation (the “Invitation”) to holders of certain of the Republic’s outstanding securities as follows: (i) to exchange up to U.S.$750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 8.375% Global Bonds due 2016 (the “2016 Global Bonds”) or an unlimited amount of 8.750% Global Bonds due 2033 (together with the 2016 Global Bonds, the “Reopened Bonds”) for its outstanding 9.125% Global Bonds due 2012 (the “2012 Global Bonds”) and/or to tender the 2012 Global Bonds for cash, subject to certain limits set forth in the Prospectus (as defined below); and (ii) to exchange a minimum of U.S.$400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of a new series of Global Bonds due 2037 (together with the Reopened Bonds, the “Exchange Bonds”) that will be issued on or about the Settlement Date (as defined in the Dealer Manager Agreement) for certain outstanding Brady Bonds as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement, and/or to tender the Brady Bonds for cash, pursuant to the Dealer Manager Agreement dated February 15, 2007 among the Republic and each of you (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”). The Exchange Bonds will be issued and delivered by the Republic pursuant to the Invitation Materials (as defined in Dealer Manager Agreement) and the Fiscal Agency Agreement, dated as of February 6, 2003 (as amended to the time hereof, the “Fiscal Agency Agreement”), between the Republic and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (currently, The Bank of New York, successor fiscal agent to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.) (the “Fiscal Agent”).

We have examined the Registration Statement on Schedule B (File No. 333-139486) filed by the Republic under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) as it became effective under the Securities Act, the Republic’s prospectus dated January 17, 2007 (the “Base Prospectus”), as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated February 15, 2007 (the “Prospectus Supplement” and, together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”), filed by the Republic pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act; the Fiscal Agency Agreement relating to the Exchange Bonds; and the Dealer Manager Agreement. In addition, we have examined, and have relied as to matters of fact upon, the documents delivered to you at the closing and upon originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such records, agreements, documents and other instruments and such certificates or comparable documents.

In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Dealer Manager Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Republic in accordance with the law of the State of New York; and assuming that the Dealer Manager Agreement is the valid and legally binding obligation of each of you, the Dealer Manager Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Republic enforceable against the Republic in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability thereof may be limited by considerations of public policy.

2. The Fiscal Agency Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Republic in accordance with the law of the State of New York; and assuming that the Fiscal Agency Agreement is the valid and legally binding obligation of the Fiscal Agent, the Fiscal Agency Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Republic enforceable against the Republic in accordance with its terms.

3. The Exchange Bonds have been duly executed and issued by the Republic, in accordance with the law of the State of New York; and when authenticated by the Fiscal Agent in accordance with the terms of the Fiscal Agency Agreement and upon the exchange thereof for 2012 Global Bonds or Brady Bonds, as applicable, as provided in

Citigroup Global Markets Inc.		March 14, 2007
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.	-3-

the Dealer Manager Agreement and as contemplated in the Prospectus, the Exchange Bonds will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Republic enforceable against the Republic in accordance with their terms.

4. The making of the Invitation and the performance by the Republic of its obligations in the Dealer Manager Agreement and the Fiscal Agency Agreement will not require any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any U.S. federal or New York state governmental agency or body or, to our knowledge, court, except such as have been obtained or effected under the Securities Act (except that we express no opinion relating to the any state securities or Blue Sky laws).

5. The statements made in the Base Prospectus under the caption “Description of the Securities” and in the Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Description of the Reopened Bonds and the 2037 Bonds”, insofar as they purport to constitute summaries of certain terms of documents referred to therein, constitute accurate summaries of the terms of such documents in all material respects.

6. The statements made in the Base Prospectus under the caption “Taxation” and Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Taxation”, insofar as they purport to constitute summaries of matters of U.S. federal tax law and regulations or legal conclusions with respect thereto, constitute accurate summaries of the matters described therein in all material respects.

7. Assuming validity under the laws of the Republic of Peru, under the laws of the State of New York relating to submission to jurisdiction, the Republic, pursuant to Section 14 of the Dealer Manager Agreement and the corresponding provisions of the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Exchange Bonds has (i) validly and irrevocably submitted to the personal jurisdiction of any New York State or U.S. federal court located on the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in any action arising our or relating to the Dealer Manager Agreement or the Fiscal Agency Agreement, and (ii) validly appointed CT Corporation System as its initial authorized agent for the purpose described in Section 14 of the Dealer Manager Agreement, Section 8.6 (c) of the Fiscal Agency Agreement and Section 10 (b) of the Exchange Bonds; and service of process effected in the manner set forth in Section 14 of the Dealer Manager Agreement, Section 8.6 (c) of the Fiscal Agency Agreement and Section 10 (b) of the Exchange Bonds, will be effective to confer valid personal jurisdiction over the Republic in any such action.

Our opinions set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above are subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), (iii) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing (iv) the possible judicial application of foreign laws or foreign governmental or judicial action affecting creditors’ rights and (v) considerations of public policy.

We express no opinion herein as to the validity, legally binding effect or enforceability of Section 16 of the Dealer Manager Agreement relating to the severability of the provisions of the Dealer Manager Agreement.

Our opinion set forth in paragraph 3 above is limited to our review of only the statutes, rules and regulations that, in our experience, are customarily applicable to the transactions of the type contemplated by the Invitation and the Prospectus.

In connection with the provisions of the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and Section 10 (b) of the Exchange Bonds, whereby the Republic submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States of America located in the State of New York, we note the limitations of 28 U.S.C. §§ 1330, 1331 and 1332 on subject matter jurisdiction of the U.S. federal courts. In connection with the provisions of the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and Section 10 (b) of the Exchange Bonds, which relate to forum selection (including without limitation, any waiver of any objection to venue or any objection that the court is an inconvenient forum), we note that under NYCPLR § 510 a New York state court may have discretion to transfer the place of trial and under 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) a United States District Court has discretion to transfer an action from one U.S. federal court to another.

We express no opinion as to the enforceability of the provisions of Section 15 of the Dealer Manager Agreement providing for indemnity by the Republic for any loss incurred by the Dealer Managers in obtaining any U.S. dollar amount due to such party under the Dealer Manager Agreement from a court judgment or order in another currency. We note that (i) a New York state statute provides that with respect to a foreign currency obligation a New York state court shall render a judgment or decree in such foreign currency and such judgment or decree shall be converted into currency of the United States at a rate of exchange prevailing on the date of entry of the judgment or decree and (ii) with respect to a foreign currency obligation a U.S. federal court sitting in New York may award judgment in U.S. dollars, provided that we express no opinion as to the rate of exchange that such court would apply.

We note that enforceability in the United States of the waiver by the Republic of its immunity (including sovereign immunity) from court jurisdiction, as set forth in the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and Section 10 (b) of the Exchange Bonds, is subject to limitations imposed by the U.S. Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976.

We do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the law of the State of New York and the federal law of the United States. We understand that, with respect to all matters of Peruvian laws, you are relying on the opinion letters of Manuel Velarde, Legal Counsel to the Republic, and of Estudio Rubio, Leguía, Normand y Asociados, your Peruvian counsel, each dated the date hereof.

This opinion letter is rendered to you in connection with the above-described transaction. This opinion letter may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose, or relied upon by, or furnished to, any other person, firm or corporation without our prior written consent, except that the Fiscal Agent may rely upon the opinions set forth in paragraph numbers 2 and 3 of this opinion letter as if rendered to the Fiscal Agent on the date hereof, subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions set forth herein relating to such opinion paragraphs.

Very truly yours,

Ladies and Gentlemen:

1. Invitation. The Republic of Peru (“Peru”) plans to make an invitation (the “Invitation”) to holders of (i) 9.125% U.S. Dollar-Denominated Global Bonds due 2012 (the “2012 Bonds”) to submit, in a reverse modified Dutch auction process (the “2012 Offer”), offers to exchange 2012 Bonds for up to U.S.$750,000,000 of 8.375% U.S. Dollar-Denominated Global Bonds due 2016 (the “2016 Bonds”) or an unlimited amount of 8.750% U.S. Dollar-Denominated Global Bonds due 2033, as applicable (the “2033 Bonds” and together with the 2016 Bonds, the “Reopened Bonds”), and/or tender the 2012 Bonds for cash (the “2012 Cash Tender”), subject to certain limits, and (ii) certain outstanding bonds as set forth on Schedule I hereto (collectively the “Brady Bonds,” and together with the 2012 Bonds, the “Bonds”) to submit offers to exchange Brady Bonds (the “Brady Bonds Offer,” and together with the 2012 Offer, the “Offers”) for a new series of Peru’s U.S. Dollar-Denominated Global Bonds due 2037 (the “2037 Bonds,” and together with the Reopened Bonds, the “New Bonds”) (subject to a minimum U.S.$400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of such bonds being issued) and/or tender the Brady Bonds for cash (the “Brady Bonds Cash Tender,” and together with the 2012 Cash Tender, the “Cash Tender”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Invitation Materials (as defined in Section 4 hereof). In addition, the 2012 Offer will be extended to holders of outstanding 2012 Bonds issued by Peru pursuant to the exemptions from registration provided by Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act that did not participate in the subsequent back-end exchange offer. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Invitation Materials.

2. Appointment as Joint Dealer Managers. Peru hereby engages and appoints each of you as exclusive Joint Dealer Manager (each a “Joint Dealer Manager,” and collectively, the “Joint Dealer Managers”), and authorizes each of you to act as such on its behalf, in accordance with this Agreement and the Invitation including pursuant to your obligations as Joint Dealer Managers set forth in this Agreement. You agree to (i) use your reasonable best efforts to solicit exchange offers and tender offers pursuant to the Invitation, (ii) communicate with brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and other persons, including the holders of the Bonds, with respect to the Invitation, and (iii) perform the duties ascribed to you in the Invitation Materials (as defined in Section 4 hereof), all in accordance with your customary practices for these types of transactions. Peru hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Joint Dealer Managers

are acting pursuant to this Agreement solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparties to Peru in connection with the Invitation and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, Peru or any other person. Additionally, neither Joint Dealer Manager is advising Peru or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. Peru shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Joint Dealer Managers shall have no responsibility or liability to Peru with respect thereto. Any review by the Joint Dealer Managers of Peru, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Joint Dealer Managers and shall not be on behalf of Peru.

3. No Liability for Acts of Dealers, Commercial Banks and Trust Companies. Neither the Joint Dealer Managers nor any of their affiliates, nor any partners, officers, directors, agents, employees or controlling persons (if any) of the Joint Dealer Managers or any of their affiliates shall have any liability (in tort, contract or otherwise) to Peru or any other person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of Peru for any act or omission on the part of any broker or dealer in securities (each, a “Dealer”) (other than the Joint Dealer Managers) or any commercial bank or trust company that solicits exchange offers. Further, no Joint Dealer Manager nor any of its affiliates, nor any partners, officers, directors, agents, employees or controlling persons (if any) of the Joint Dealer Managers or any of their affiliates shall have any liability (in tort, contract or otherwise) to Peru or any other person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of Peru for any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities arising in connection with or as a result of either your engagement or any matter referred to in this Agreement except for any such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities incurred by Peru or any other person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of Peru that result from such Joint Dealer Manager’s own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in performing the services that are the subject of this Agreement. In soliciting or obtaining exchange offers and tender offers, you, as Joint Dealer Managers, shall act as independent contractors, and no Dealer, commercial bank or trust company is to be deemed to be acting as your agent or the agent of Peru, and you, as Joint Dealer Managers, are not to be deemed the agent of each other, Peru, any Dealer, commercial bank or trust company or any other person. It is understood that nothing in this Agreement nor the nature of your services shall be deemed to create a fiduciary duty or agency relationship between you and Peru. Peru shall have sole and absolute authority for the acceptance or rejection of any and all exchange offers and tender offers.

4. The Invitation Materials.

(a) In connection with the Invitation, Peru authorizes you to reproduce and distribute, as you may deem necessary or advisable, the Prospectus Supplement, the Base Prospectus (each as defined below), any “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433 under the Act (as defined herein) used in connection with the Invitation (an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”), newspaper advertisements, and announcements to potential participants and press releases pursuant to Rule 134 under the Act relating to the Invitation (collectively, including any amendments or supplements thereto provided by or on behalf of Peru in accordance with this Agreement, the “Invitation Materials”), for use by you in connection with the Invitation. Peru further agrees to cause to be furnished to you (in New York City) with as many copies as you may reasonably request of the Invitation Materials. Peru shall cause to be delivered to each registered holder of any Bond, as soon as practicable, upon its request therefor, written or electronic copies of the appropriate Invitation Materials. Thereafter, to the extent practicable

2

until the Expiration Date (as defined in Section 9 hereof), Peru shall use its best efforts to cause written or electronic copies of such Invitation Materials to be delivered to each person who becomes a holder of record of any Bond upon its request therefor.

(b) Peru shall not file, use, amend or supplement any of the Invitation Materials, or prepare or approve any other offering material for use in connection with the Invitation, without your consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Except for any Free Writing Prospectus (as defined by Rule 405 under the Act) containing customary information and prepared by the Joint Dealer Managers for use by the Joint Dealer Managers on Bloomberg screens or similar communications and which is not (i) an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or (ii) a Free Writing Prospectus containing “Issuer information” (as defined by Rule 433(h)(2) under the Act), you shall not prepare or approve any other press releases or other offering material (other than material prepared solely for the internal use of a Joint Dealer Manager) or external offering materials for use in connection with the Invitation without Peru’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Peru agrees that a reasonable time prior to using or filing with any governmental agency, authority or instrumentality, domestic or foreign (each an “Agency”), any Invitation Materials (whether preliminary or otherwise), Peru will submit copies of such material to you for your approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Joint Dealer Managers agree that they shall not disseminate any external documents for use in connection with the Invitation without Peru’s prior review and consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that this proviso shall not be deemed to conflict with any authorization granted in the Underwriting Agreement (as defined below).

(c) Peru will advise you promptly of (i) the occurrence of any event which could cause Peru to withdraw, rescind, terminate, or modify the Invitation or would permit Peru to exercise any right not to exchange or pay for the Bonds tendered pursuant to the Invitation or not to issue any series of New Bonds, (ii) any requirement to amend or supplement any of the Invitation Materials, (iii) the issuance of any communication, comment or order relevant to the Invitation by any Agency (and, if in writing, will furnish you a copy thereof), (iv) its receipt of notice of any litigation or administrative or governmental action with respect to the Invitation, and (v) any other information relating to the Invitation which you may from time to time reasonably request in the performance of your duties hereunder. At any time before Peru announces, on the Announcement Date (as defined in the Invitation Materials), the acceptance of any exchange offers or tender offers, Peru may, in its sole and absolute discretion: (x) terminate either or both of the Invitations (as defined in the Invitation Materials); or (y) extend the Expiration Date. If Peru announces its acceptance of any or all of the exchange offers or tender offers, it will be obligated to settle such exchange offers and tender offers as applicable, subject only to the satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in the Prospectus (as defined below). In addition, Peru reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, to amend the Invitations in any respect. You will promptly inform Peru of any litigation or administrative or governmental action with respect to the Invitation of which you become aware.

(d) With respect to the Invitation, Peru agrees (i) to prepare one or more Prospectus Supplements in a form approved by you and to timely file any such Prospectus Supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), not later than the close of business of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on the second business day following the date such Prospectus Supplement is first used, or, if applicable, such earlier time as may be required by Rule 430A(a)(3) under the Act, relating to the terms of the Invitation; to advise you, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the issuance by

3

the Commission of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any Prospectus, Prospectus Supplement or Free Writing Prospectus, of the suspension of the qualification of the New Bonds for invitation or sale in any jurisdiction in the United States or any jurisdiction identified in Annex III to this Agreement, of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the Commission for the amending or supplementing of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Prospectus Supplement or Free Writing Prospectus relating to the issuance of the New Bonds or for additional information; and, in the event of the issuance of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any Prospectus, Prospectus Supplement or Free Writing Prospectus or suspending any such qualification, to promptly use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order and (ii) promptly from time to time during and following the Expiration Date of the Invitation, to take such action as you may reasonably request to qualify the Invitation and the New Bonds for offering and sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as you may reasonably request and to comply with such laws so as to permit the continuance of the Invitation and sales and dealings in the New Bonds in such jurisdictions for as long as may be necessary to complete the Invitation and the distribution of the New Bonds, provided that in connection therewith Peru shall not be required to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction. With respect to the jurisdictions identified in Annex III to this Agreement, each of Peru and you shall take actions reasonably available to it or you, respectively, to permit the continuance of the Invitation and the distribution of the New Bonds on the terms and conditions contemplated by the document dated the date hereof captioned “Foreign Jurisdiction Investment Restrictions,” provided that if either Peru or you believe that the cost or burden of any such actions make them unreasonable, you and Peru shall consult in good faith with a view to restructuring the conduct of the Invitation and the distribution of the New Bonds in such jurisdiction in such a way that permits, to the extent possible, the continuance of the Invitation and the distribution of the New Bonds in such jurisdictions.

(e) Peru agrees, if the delivery of a prospectus is required under the Act (including any of the rules promulgated by the Commission thereunder) or by any applicable law at any time prior to the expiration of nine months after the time of issue of the Invitation Materials in connection with the Offers and Cash Tender and if at such time any event shall have occurred as a result of which the Invitation Materials as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made when such Invitation Material is delivered, not misleading, or, if for any other reason it shall be necessary during such same period to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to comply with the Act or any applicable law, to notify you and upon your request to prepare and furnish without charge to the Joint Dealer Managers and to any Dealer as many copies as you may from time to time reasonably request of amended Invitation Materials or a supplement to the Invitation Materials which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance; and in case the Joint Dealer Managers are required to deliver a prospectus in connection with sales of any of the New Bonds at any time nine months or more after the time of issue of the Invitation Materials, upon the request but at the expense of the Joint Dealer Managers, to prepare and deliver to the Joint Dealer Managers as many copies as they may request of an amended or supplemented Invitation Materials, as the case may be, complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Act.

5. Participation by Joint Dealer Managers and No Participation by Peru. Peru and you agree to the matters described in the Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Terms of the Invitations—Participation by the Joint Dealer Managers” and under the caption “Terms of the Invitations—No Participation by Peru.”

6. Compensation. Peru agrees to pay you as compensation for your services as (i) Joint Dealer Managers, (ii) as underwriters under the Underwriting Agreement to be dated as of February 23, 2007 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) entered into between you and Peru; and (iii) for your advisory services in structuring and arranging the transactions contemplated hereby and the transactions contemplated in the Underwriting Agreement, an amount equal to 0.23% of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds that are exchanged for New Bonds in the Offer and Bonds purchased by Peru in the Cash Tender; it being understood that any amount paid by Peru pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement will be credited against the amount due to you as Joint Dealer Managers hereunder. Such fees shall be payable in U.S. dollars, on the Settlement Date (as defined in Section 9 hereof), in immediately available funds, to an account or accounts in New York City designated by the Joint Dealer Managers and free and clear of any and all withholding or other similar taxes imposed by Peru and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld, assessed by or within Peru or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax; if any such taxes are payable, the fees payable hereunder shall be increased so that the amount paid shall be equal to the amount that would have been payable had such taxes not been applicable.

7. Expenses. Peru and you agree to pay for costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby as set forth in Schedule II hereto; provided, however, that this Section 7 shall in no way affect Peru’s and your obligations set forth in Section 12 of this Agreement. All payments to be made pursuant to this Section 7 for the reimbursement of expenses shall be payable promptly after an itemized invoice specifying the expenses to be reimbursed has been received by the party making such reimbursement. The parties shall perform their respective obligations set forth in this Section 7 regardless of whether (i) the Invitation is commenced, (ii) Peru terminates the Invitation prior to the business day following the Expiration Date, (iii) Peru issues any New Bonds pursuant to the Invitation or (iv) a Joint Dealer Manager withdraws pursuant to Section 11 hereof.

You agree to use such information only in connection with the Invitation and not to furnish such information to any other person except in connection with the Invitation.

(f) Peru has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Exchange Agency Agreement and all other documents to be executed and delivered by Peru hereunder and to make and consummate the Invitation, and to perform and observe the provisions of this Agreement, the Exchange Agency Agreement and all other documents to be executed and delivered by Peru hereunder on its part to be performed or observed.

7

(g) The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Exchange Agency Agreement and all other documents to be executed and delivered by Peru hereunder have been duly authorized and have been or will be duly executed and delivered by Peru; the consummation of the Invitation (including any provisions for payments by Peru) has been duly authorized by Peru; this Agreement and the Exchange Agency Agreement constitute valid and binding agreements of Peru enforceable against Peru in accordance with their terms, subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles, and additionally subject, as to Section 12 hereof, to any limitations imposed by the securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

(h) The New Bonds have been duly authorized, and, when executed, authenticated, issued and delivered pursuant to the Invitation Materials and the Fiscal Agency Agreement, dated as of February 6, 2003 (as amended, and as it may be further amended from time to time, the “Fiscal Agency Agreement”), between Peru and JPMorgan Chase Bank (the “Fiscal Agent”), will have been duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered; the New Bonds, which will be substantially in the form thereof in the Fiscal Agency Agreement filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of Peru entitled to the benefits provided by the Fiscal Agency Agreement. The Fiscal Agency Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered and constitutes a valid and legally binding instrument, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles; the Fiscal Agency Agreement (to the extent the provisions thereof are applicable to the New Bonds) conforms, and the New Bonds will conform, to the descriptions thereof contained in the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement; and the statements made under the captions “Description of the Reopened Bonds and of the 2037 Global Bonds” in the Prospectus Supplement and “Description of the Securities” in the Base Prospectus constitute, insofar as they purport to summarize the terms of the New Bonds, accurate, complete and fair summaries of such terms.

(i) No Governmental Approval (as defined below) is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by Peru of this Agreement, the Invitation Materials, the Exchange Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the New Bonds, or the issuance and delivery of the New Bonds as contemplated in this Agreement, or for the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Invitation Materials, the Exchange Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the New Bonds against Peru, other than those Governmental Approvals that have been duly obtained and are in full force and effect on the date hereof and all of which will be in full force and effect on the Settlement Date and provided that, only in respect of the performance of the New Bonds, any payment of principal or interest arising from such performance is and will be included by Peru in the Budget Law corresponding to the fiscal year in which such payment is to be due. “Governmental Approval” means any approval, authorization, permit, consent, exemption or license and other action of or by, and any notice to or filing or registration with, Peru, any Governmental Agency (as defined below) or any other governmental authority or agency or regulatory or administrative body of Peru or any political subdivision thereof or therein (including, without limitation, any thereof relating to budget approvals and exchange controls).

(j) There is no constitutional provision, or any provision of any treaty, convention, statute, law, regulation, decree, court order or similar authority binding upon Peru, or any

8

provision of any contract, agreement or instrument to which Peru or any Governmental Agency (as defined below) is a party, which would be materially contravened or breached, or which would result in the creation of any lien or encumbrance, or under which a default would arise or a moratorium in respect of any obligations of Peru or any Governmental Agency be effected, as a result of the execution and delivery by Peru of this Agreement, the Invitation Materials, the Exchange Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the New Bonds, or the issuance and delivery of the New Bonds as contemplated in this Agreement, or as a result of the performance or observance by Peru of any of the terms of this Agreement, the Invitation Materials, the Exchange Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the New Bonds. “Governmental Agency” means each agency, department, ministry, authority, municipality, statutory corporation or statutory body or judicial entity of Peru or any political subdivision thereof or therein, now existing or hereafter created, and any bank, corporation or other legal entity 51% or more of the capital or voting stock or other ownership interest of which is now or hereafter owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by Peru or by any state or municipality of Peru.

(k) The New Bonds, when duly authenticated by the fiscal agent, will constitute direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Peru; the full faith and credit of Peru will be pledged for the due and punctual payment of the principal of, interest on, and any additional amount with respect to, the New Bonds and the performance of the covenants therein contained; the New Bonds will at all times rank pari passu in priority of payment, in right to security and in all other respects with all other existing and future External Indebtedness (as defined in the New Bonds) of Peru.

(l) There is no pending or, to the knowledge of Peru, threatened action or proceeding affecting Peru or any Governmental Agency before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator which may, individually or in the aggregate, materially adversely affect the financial condition of Peru or its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Invitation Materials, the Exchange Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the New Bonds, which purports to affect the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Invitation Materials, the Exchange Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the New Bonds, except as otherwise disclosed in the Invitation Materials.

(m) Other than as set forth in the Invitation Materials, Peru is not in default in the payment of principal, interest or any other amount owing on any obligation in respect of indebtedness for money borrowed, and Peru has not received any notice of default or acceleration with respect to any obligation in respect of indebtedness for money borrowed, in each case or in the aggregate, which would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of Peru or its ability to perform its obligations under Agreement, the Invitation Materials, the Exchange Agency Agreement, Fiscal Agency Agreement or the New Bonds, or which is otherwise material to the rights of the holders of the New Bonds; the issue and sale of the New Bonds and the compliance by Peru with all of the provisions of this Agreement, the Invitation Materials, the Exchange Agency Agreement, Fiscal Agency Agreement or the New Bonds and the consummation of the transactions herein and therein contemplated will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, the Constitution of Peru, as amended to the date hereof, any statutes, laws, decrees or regulations of Peru or any treaty, convention or material agreement to which Peru is a party and which default, in each case or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the financial, fiscal or economic condition of Peru or its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Invitation Materials, the Exchange Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the New Bonds or which is otherwise material to the rights of the holders of the New Bonds.

9

(n) To ensure the legality, validity, enforceability, priority or admissibility in evidence in Peru of this Agreement, the Invitation Materials, the Exchange Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the New Bonds, it is not necessary that this Agreement, the Invitation Materials, the Exchange Agency Agreement, Fiscal Agency Agreement, the New Bonds or any other document or instrument hereunder or thereunder be registered, recorded or filed with any court or other authority in Peru (except that an official translation to Spanish of such documents would be required for purposes of enforcement proceedings in Peru) or be notarized or that any documentary, stamp or similar tax, imposition or charge be paid on or in respect of this Agreement, the Invitation Materials, the Exchange Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement, the New Bonds or any other document or instrument hereunder or thereunder, other than any court tax of such amount as may apply from time to time under applicable Peruvian law in respect of this Agreement, the Invitation Materials, the Exchange Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement, the New Bonds or any other document or instrument hereunder or thereunder brought before the Peruvian courts.

(o) There is no tax, levy, deduction, charge or withholding imposed by Peru or any political subdivision thereof either (i) on or by virtue of the execution, delivery or enforcement of this Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement, or the New Bonds or in connection with the issuance of the New Bonds or (ii) on any payment to be made by Peru thereunder or under the New Bonds, provided that the current exemption from Peruvian income tax on interest accrued in connection with the New Bonds, which elapses on December 31, 2008, is extended and maintained thereafter through the life of the New Bonds.

(p) Other than as permitted by Regulation M under the Exchange Act, neither Peru nor any person acting on its behalf has taken, directly or indirectly, any action which might reasonably be expected to cause or result in stabilization of the price of any security of Peru to facilitate the offering or the sale or resale of the New Bonds; provided, however, that no representation or warranty is given by Peru with respect to any of your actions (other than those made on Peru’s behalf).

(q) This Agreement, the Exchange Agency Agreement and the Fiscal Agency Agreement are, and upon authentication by the fiscal agent, the New Bonds will be, in proper legal form under the laws of Peru for the enforcement thereof in Peru against Peru. Any judgment issued by a New York court under this Agreement, the Exchange Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement, or the New Bonds will be recognized as legally binding and may be enforced or executed in Peru against Peru without the local court reopening the case; provided that the following requirements are met: (i) the judgment does not resolve matters under the exclusive jurisdiction of Peruvian courts (such as matters involving Peruvian real estate property); (ii) such court had jurisdiction under its own conflicts of law rules and under general principles of international procedural jurisdiction; (iii) the defendant was served in accordance with the laws of the place where the proceeding took place, was granted reasonable opportunity to appear before such foreign court, and was guaranteed due process rights; (iv) the judgment has the status of res judicata as defined in the jurisdiction of the court rendering such judgment; (v) there is no pending litigation in Peru between the same parties for the same dispute, which shall have been initiated before the commencement of the proceeding that concluded with the foreign judgment; (vi) the judgment is not incompatible with another judgment that fulfills the requirements of

10

recognition and enforceability established by Peruvian law and such foreign judgment was rendered first; (vii) the judgment is not contrary to public order or good morals; and (viii) it is not proven that such foreign court denies enforcement of Peruvian judgments or engages in a review of the merits thereof. Notwithstanding the above, the execution by Peruvian courts of any judgment ordering payment of any principal or interest arising from the New Bonds by Peru will be subject to availability of funds according to the statute passed by the Peruvian Congress setting forth the budget corresponding to the fiscal year on which such payment is to be due (the “Budget Law”).

(r) Peru is not aware that either Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service (“Standard & Poor’s”), or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) has made any announcement that it will have under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any of Peru’s debt securities; and Peru has not been informed by either Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s that it intends or is contemplating any downgrading in any rating accorded to Peru’s debt securities or any announcement that it will have under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any of Peru’s debt securities.

(s) The statements with respect to matters of Peruvian law set forth in the Invitation Materials are correct in all material respects.

(t) Peru has made or will make any arrangements necessary to be made by it to permit payment of cash and settlement to occur through the clearing systems on the Settlement Date in the manner described in the Prospectus.

(u) Peru agrees that it will not announce the acceptance of any exchange offer on or prior to the Commencement Date unless each of the conditions set forth in Section 11 hereof to be satisfied on or prior to such date has been satisfied or waived by the Joint Dealer Managers.

(v) Peru will make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable but in no event later than 24 months after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined in Rule 158(c)), a statement in the English language of the revenues and expenditures of Peru covering the first full fiscal year of Peru commencing after the date hereof which will satisfy Section 11(a) of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

(w) From the date hereof through the period ending 10 days after the Settlement Date, Peru will ensure that no other dollar-denominated debt securities of Peru (other than debt securities with a maturity of one year or less) are placed or sold in the international capital markets, directly or indirectly on its behalf, in any manner which might, in the reasonable opinion of the Joint Dealer Managers, have a detrimental effect on the successful offering and distribution of the New Bonds, unless the Joint Dealer Managers otherwise agree in writing. Peru will cause the Bonds (which are acquired by it pursuant to the Invitation) to be canceled in accordance with their terms.

(x) Peru has applied to admit the 2037 Bonds for listing on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and for trading on its Euro MTF Market. Peru has also applied to have the Reopened Bonds transferred from the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange to its Euro MTF Market.

11

(y) Peru is a member of, and is eligible to use the general resources of, the International Monetary Fund (the “IMF”), the Inter-American Development Bank (the “IDB”) and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the “World Bank”). The IMF, the IDB and the World Bank have not limited, pursuant to their Articles of Agreement or Rules and Regulations, the use by Peru of the general resources of the IMF, the IDB or the World Bank.

(z) The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Exchange Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement, the issuance and delivery of the New Bonds, the performance of the terms of the New Bonds and the transactions under the Invitation Materials constitute private and commercial acts rather than public or governmental acts, as such terms are defined under the U.S. Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (and as interpreted by applicable case law). Under the laws of Peru, neither Peru nor any of its property, except for (i) property used by a diplomatic or consular mission of Peru; (ii) property of a military character and under the control of a military authority or defense agency of Peru; (iii) public property; (iv) shares of Peruvian public sector entities or shares of Peruvian private sector entities owned or controlled by Peru or by a Peruvian public sector entity, or revenues collected from the sale of such shares, to the extent such shares or revenues are exempt by Peruvian law from attachment or execution; or (v) funds deposited in Peru’s accounts held in the Peruvian financial system that constitute public domain property, has any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or from execution, attachment or any other legal process. The waivers of immunity by Peru contained in this Agreement, the Exchange Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the New Bonds, the appointment of the process agent in this Agreement, the Exchange Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the New Bonds, the consent by Peru to the jurisdiction of the courts specified in this Agreement, the Exchange Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement, and the terms and conditions of the New Bonds and the provision that the laws of the State of New York govern this Agreement, the Exchange Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the New Bonds, are irrevocably binding on Peru.

10. Free Writing Prospectuses.

(a) Peru represents and agrees that it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Invitation that would constitute a “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 under the Act without your prior oral or written consent and that Annex IV hereto is a complete list of any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses for which Peru has received such consent;

(b) Peru has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 under the Act applicable to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission or retention where required and legending; and

(c) Peru agrees that if at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus any event occurred or occurs as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus would conflict with the information in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then prevailing, not misleading, Peru will give you prompt notice thereof, and if you so request, will prepare and furnish without charge to each of you an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or other document which will correct such conflict, statement or omission; provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any statements or omissions in an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to Peru by you expressly for use therein.

(a) Peru agrees (i) to indemnify and hold each of you harmless against any loss, damage, reasonable and documented expense, liability or claim (or action in respect thereof) (A) which arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement of a material fact or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any other Invitation Materials or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, or any of the documents referred to therein or in any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, or which arises out of or is based on the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading; provided, however, that Peru shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, reasonable and documented expense, or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any other Invitation Materials or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Peru by the Joint Dealer Managers expressly for use therein; or (B) which arises out of or is based upon any breach by Peru of any representation, warranty, covenant or failure to comply with any agreement set forth herein; or (C) which arises out of or is based upon a withdrawal, rescission, termination or modification of or a failure by Peru to make or consummate the Invitation; and (ii) to indemnify and hold each of you harmless against any other loss, damage, reasonable and documented expense, liability or claim (or action in respect thereof) which otherwise arises out of or is based upon or asserted against you in connection with your acting as a Joint Dealer Manager in connection with the Invitation, or rendering any financial advisory services to Peru in connection with the Invitation or that arise in connection with any other matter referred to in this Agreement, except to the extent that any such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim referred to in clause (ii) of this subsection (a) results from your gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in performing the services that are the subject of this Agreement. Peru also agrees to indemnify and hold each of you harmless against and to promptly reimburse each of you for any and all reasonable and documented expenses whatsoever (including legal and other fees and reasonable and documented expenses) reasonably incurred by each of you in connection with investigating, preparing for or defending against any such losses, damages, reasonable and documented expenses, liabilities or claims (or actions in respect thereof) within a reasonable time after such expenses are incurred and an itemized statement thereof, in reasonable detail, has been submitted to Peru whether or not resulting in any liability, and any amount paid in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever as set forth herein if such settlement is effected with the written consent of Peru. Peru also agrees that, except as provided in Section 12(b) hereof, neither you nor any of your affiliates, nor any partners, directors, officers, agents, employees or controlling persons (if any), as the case may be, of you or any of your affiliates, shall have any liability, in tort or contract or otherwise, to Peru or any person asserting a claim on behalf of or in the right of Peru,

16

in each case for or in connection with any matter referred to in this Agreement, except to the extent that any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim incurred by Peru results from your gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in performing the services that are the subject of this Agreement;

(b) Each of you severally and not jointly will indemnify and hold harmless Peru against any loss, claim, damage, reasonable and documented expense or liability to which Peru may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, (i) insofar as such loss, claim, damage, reasonable and documented expense or liability (or action in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any other Invitation Materials or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Invitation Materials or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Peru by the Joint Dealer Managers expressly for use therein, and (ii) which arise out of or are based upon any breach by you of any representation or warranty or failure to comply with any agreements set forth herein; and will reimburse Peru for any legal or other reasonable and documented expenses reasonably incurred by Peru in connection with investigating or defending any such action within a reasonable time after such expenses are incurred and an itemized statement thereof, in reasonable detail, has been submitted to you;

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that an indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar actions arising out of the same general allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all indemnified parties, except to the extent that local counsel, in addition to its regular counsel, is required in order to defend effectively against such action. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) in the indemnified party’s reasonable judgment the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or

potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; or (iii) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (A) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (B) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party. No indemnified party shall, without the written consent of the indemnifying party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder;

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 12 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative economic benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from the Invitation. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of Peru on the one hand and you on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative economic benefits of Peru on the one hand and you on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the aggregate principal amount of the New Bonds issued by Peru pursuant to the Invitation bears to the maximum aggregate fee to be paid to you pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement as a result of the Invitation. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by Peru on the one hand or you on the other and Peru’s or your relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Peru and you agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if you were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Joint Dealer Manager shall be required to make any contribution payments in excess of the amount by which the issue price for the New Bonds for which such Joint Dealer

18

Manager solicited exchange offers that were accepted by Peru exceeds the amount of any damages which such Joint Dealer Manager has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Your obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to your respective obligations hereunder and not joint.

(e) The obligations of Peru under this Section 12 shall be in addition to any liability which Peru may otherwise have, shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to the affiliates, partners, directors, agents, employees and controlling persons (if any), as the case may be, of each indemnifying party, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of Peru, you, any such affiliate and any such person; and your obligations under this Section 12 shall be in addition to any liability which you may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person who signs the Registration Statement on behalf of Peru.

13. Termination and Survival of Certain Provisions.

(a) This Agreement may be terminated (a) by you upon a withdrawal by you as Joint Dealer Managers under the terms hereof, or (b) by Peru if it determines or acts to terminate or withdraw the Invitation prior to consummation thereof;

(b) The agreements contained in Sections 6, 7, 12, 14 and 15, the agreements contained in Section 6 hereof (to the extent the transactions contemplated hereby have been consummated) and the representations and warranties of Peru set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (a) any failure to commence, or the withdrawal, rescission, termination or consummation of, the Invitation or the termination or assignment of this Agreement, (b) any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified party, and (c) the completion of your services hereunder.

14. Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) Peru agrees that any suit, action or proceeding against it or its properties, assets or revenues with respect to this Agreement (a “Related Proceeding”) shall be brought exclusively in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York (the “Specified Courts”). Peru also agrees that any judgment obtained in the Specified Courts arising out of any Related Proceeding may be enforced or executed in any other court of competent jurisdiction whatsoever, and any judgment obtained in any such other court as a result of such enforcement or execution may be enforced or executed in any such other court of competent jurisdiction (all such courts other than Specified Courts being called herein “Other Courts”), by means of a suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law; provided, however, that, in respect of such enforcement or execution by Peruvian courts of any such judgment ordering any payment by Peru, such payment is included in the Budget Law corresponding to the fiscal year on which such payment is to be due (but Peru will use its best efforts to cause such payment to be included in such Budget Law). Peru hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Specified Courts for the purpose of any Related Proceeding and, solely for the purpose of enforcing or executing any judgment referred to in the preceding sentence (a “Related Judgment”), of the Specified Courts and each Other Court.

19

(b) Peru agrees that service of all writs, process and summonses in any Related Proceeding or any suit, action or proceeding to enforce or execute any Related Judgment brought against it in the State of New York may be made upon CT Corporation, presently located at 111 Eighth Avenue, 13th floor, New York, New York, as its authorized agent (the “Process Agent”), and Peru irrevocably appoints the Process Agent as its agent to accept such service of any and all such writs, process and summonses, and agrees that the failure of the Process Agent to give any notice to it of any such service of process shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment based thereon. Peru agrees to maintain at all times an agent with offices in New York to act as its Process Agent. Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability to serve any such writs, process or summonses in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

(c) Peru irrevocably consents to and waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any Related Proceeding brought in the Specified Courts or to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding brought solely for the purpose of enforcing or executing any Related Judgment in the Specified Courts or Other Courts, and further irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any Related Proceeding or any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) To the extent that Peru or any of its revenues, assets or properties shall be entitled, with respect to any Related Proceeding at any time brought against Peru or any of its revenues, assets or properties, or with respect to any suit, action or proceeding at any time brought solely for the purpose of enforcing or executing any Related Judgment in the Specified Courts or in any jurisdiction in which any Other Court is located, to any immunity from suit, from the jurisdiction of any such court, from attachment prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution of judgment, from execution of a judgment or from any other legal or judicial process or remedy, and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there shall be attributed such an immunity, Peru irrevocably agrees not to claim and irrevocably waives such immunity to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction (including, without limitation, the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States; provided, however, that Peru hereby reserves the right to plead sovereign immunity under the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 with respect to actions brought against it under the United States securities laws or any state securities laws). In addition, to the extent that Peru or any of its revenues, assets or properties shall be entitled, in any jurisdiction, to any immunity from setoff, banker’s lien or any similar right or remedy, and to the extent that there shall be attributed, in any jurisdiction, such an immunity, Peru hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and irrevocably waives such immunity to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction with respect to any claim, suit, action, proceeding, right or remedy arising out of or in connection with the Agreement.

(e) The submission to jurisdiction and the waiver of immunity by Peru contained herein is for the exclusive benefit of you (and your affiliates referred to in Section 10 above) and shall not extend to any other persons.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the appointment of CT Corporation or an authorized agent for service of process nor the waiver of immunity by Peru set forth above shall be interpreted to include suits, actions or proceedings brought under the U.S. federal securities laws or state securities laws, provided that such reservations are without prejudice to the rights of the Joint Dealer Managers to indemnification and contribution set forth herein.

20

(g) You, on the one hand, and Peru, on the other hand, waive any right to trial by jury in any suit, action or proceeding or claim with respect to your engagement as Dealer Managers or your role in connection herewith.

15. Judgment Currency. In respect of any judgment or order given or made for any amount due hereunder that is expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than United States dollars, Peru will indemnify each Joint Dealer Manager against any loss incurred by such Joint Dealer Manager as a result of any variation as between (A) the rate of exchange at which the United States dollar amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order and (B) the rate of exchange at which a Joint Dealer Manager is able to purchase United States dollars with the amount of Judgment Currency actually received by such Joint Dealer Manager on the business day following the receipt of payment on such judgment or order. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of Peru and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, United States dollars.

16. Severability; Time of Essence.

(a) If any provision hereof shall be determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such determination shall not affect any other provision hereof, which shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Invitation and the agreements contained herein are not affected in any manner adverse to any party.

(b) Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. As used herein, the term “business day” shall mean any day when banking institutions in New York are open for business.

17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

18. Binding Effect. This Agreement, including any right to indemnity or contribution hereunder, shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Peru, you and the other indemnified parties, and each of your and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement is intended, or shall be construed, to give to any other person or entity any right hereunder or by virtue hereof.

19. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York except that authorization and execution of this Agreement by Peru will be governed by the laws of Peru.

20. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and may not be modified or amended except in writing executed by the parties hereto.

21

21. Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered personally or sent by mail or facsimile transmission, to the parties hereto as follows:

as Joint Dealer Managers under the

Dealer Manager Agreement referred to below

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to Section 11(f) of the Dealer Manager Agreement dated as of February 15, 2007 (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”) among the Republic of Peru (the “Republic”) and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as the Joint Dealer Managers named in the Dealer Manager Agreement, relating to the Republic’s offer to holders of the outstanding bonds identified in the Prospectus Supplement (collectively, the “Bonds”) of the Republic to exchange the Bonds for new bonds identified in the Prospectus Supplement (collectively, the “New Bonds”) and tender certain Bonds for cash. The New Bonds will be issued pursuant to a Fiscal Agency Agreement, dated as of February 6, 2003, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated November 21, 2003, and Amendment No. 2, dated October 14, 2004, (the “Fiscal Agency Agreement”), between the Republic and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., currently The Bank of New York, (the “Fiscal Agent”). The Dealer Manager Agreement and the Fiscal Agency Agreement (together, the “Agreements”) and the New Bonds are more fully described in the Registration Statement and Invitation Materials prepared by the Republic in connection with the Invitation. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms in the Dealer Manager Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

In connection with the opinions set forth below, I have reviewed the following documents:

(a) the Dealer Manager Agreement;

(b) the Registration Statement;

(c) the Invitation Materials;

(d) the Fiscal Agency Agreement;

(e) a form of certificate evidencing the New Bonds;

(f) the Political Constitution of the Republic; and

(g) the documents delivered to you by the Republic on the date hereof pursuant to the Dealer Manager Agreement.

In addition, I have received the originals or copies certified or otherwise certified to my satisfaction of all such other documents, agreements and instruments and such treaties, laws, rules, decrees and certificates of public officials and representatives of the Republic as I have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed.

In rendering the opinions set forth in this letter I have assured the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals and the conformity of originals of all documents submitted to me as copies. In addition, I have assumed, and have not independently verified, that all signatures on all such agreements and comments are genuine (other than signatures of officials of the Republic) and the accuracy as to factual matters of each document I have reviewed.

Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

1. The Republic has full power and authority to execute and deliver the Dealer Manager Agreement and all other documents and instruments to be executed and delivered by the Republic thereunder and under the Fiscal Agency Agreement, to assume the obligations to be assumed by it as provided therein and to perform and observe the provisions thereof on its part to be performed or observed and to issue the New Bonds, acquire Bonds for cash, and to perform the terms thereof and to exchange Bonds for New Bonds, subject to the conditions set forth in the Invitation Materials; and, assuming that the Dealer Manager Agreement and the New Bonds constitute legally binding agreements under the laws of the State of New York, the Dealer Manager Agreement constitutes, and upon due execution, authentication, issuance and delivery, the New Bonds will, and the Fiscal Agency Agreement does, constitute, legal, valid and binding obligations of the Republic in accordance with their respective terms.

2. The execution, delivery and performance of the Dealer Manager Agreement, the issuance, offer and delivery of the New Bonds and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by the Agreements (and compliance with the terms thereof) and the exchange of Bonds for New Bonds and the acquisition of Bonds for cash do not and will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach of any constitutional provision, any provision of any treaty, convention, statute, law, regulation or decree, or order of any government, governmental body or court, domestic or foreign court order or similar authority binding upon the Republic, (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under any fiscal agency agreement, trust deed, contract, agreement or instrument to which the Republic or any Governmental Agency is a party or by which any of them or any of their respective assets or properties are bound, (iii) result in the creation of any lien or encumbrance upon such properties or assets or (iv) cause a default to arise or a moratorium in respect of any obligations of the Republic or any Governmental Agency to be effected.

I-2

3. Except as otherwise described in the Invitation Materials and for those that have been previously obtained, no consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any Peruvian court, government or governmental agency or body or any third party is required to be taken, fulfilled, performed or obtained in the Republic or elsewhere (including, without limitation, the obtaining of any consent, approval or license or the making of any filing or registration) for the execution and delivery of the Dealer Manager Agreement, or for the issue, exchange, delivery and performance of the New Bonds as contemplated herein and in the Registration Statement and the Invitation Materials, or for the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by the Agreements and the compliance by the Republic with the terms of the Agreements, or for the validity or enforceability of the Agreements against the Republic; and Mrs. Betty Sotelo Bazán has been duly appointed as Authorized Representative of the Republic in connection with the Dealer Manager Agreement, the New Bonds and the documents related thereto.

4. Under the laws of Peru, neither Peru nor any of its property, except for (i) property used by a diplomatic or consular mission of Peru; (ii) property of a military character and under the control of a military authority or defense agency of Peru; (iii) public property; (iv) shares of Peruvian public sector entities or shares of Peruvian private sector entities owned or controlled by Peru or by a Peruvian public sector entity, or revenues collected from the sale of such shares, to the extent such shares or revenues are exempt by Peruvian law from attachment or execution; or (v) funds deposited in Peru’s accounts held in the Peruvian financial system that constitute public domain property, has any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or from execution, attachment or any other legal process.

5. The waivers of immunity by Peru contained in the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Exchange Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the New Bonds, the appointment of the process agent in the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Exchange Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the New Bonds, the consent by Peru to the jurisdiction of the courts specified in the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Exchange Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement, and the terms and conditions of the New Bonds and the provision that the laws of the State of New York govern the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Exchange Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the New Bonds, are irrevocably binding on Peru.

6. The Dealer Manager Agreement, the Exchange Agency Agreement and the Fiscal Agency Agreement are, and upon authentication by the Fiscal Agent, the New Bonds will be, in proper legal form under the laws of the Republic for the enforcement thereof in the Republic against the Republic.

7. Any judgment issued by a New York court under the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Exchange Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement, or the New Bonds will be recognized as legally binding and may be enforced or executed in the Republic against the Republic without the local court reopening the case; provided that the following requirements are met: (i) the judgment does not resolve matters under the exclusive jurisdiction of Peruvian courts (such as matters involving Peruvian real estate property); (ii) such court had jurisdiction under its own conflicts of law rules and under general principles of international procedural jurisdiction; (iii) the defendant was served in accordance with the laws of the place where the proceeding took place, was granted reasonable opportunity to appear before such foreign court, and was guaranteed due process rights; (iv) the judgment has the status of res judicata as defined in the

I-3

jurisdiction of the court rendering such judgment; (v) there is no pending litigation in the Republic between the same parties for the same dispute, which shall have been initiated before the commencement of the proceeding that concluded with the foreign judgment; (vi) the judgment is not incompatible with another judgment that fulfills the requirements of recognition and enforceability established by Peruvian law and such foreign judgment was rendered first; (vii) the judgment is not contrary to public order or good morals; and (viii) it is not proven that such foreign court denies enforcement of Peruvian judgments or engages in a review of the merits thereof. Notwithstanding the above, the execution by Peruvian courts of any judgment ordering payment of any principal or interest arising from the New Bonds by the Republic will be subject to availability of funds according to the statute passed by the Peruvian Congress setting forth the budget corresponding to the fiscal year on which such payment is to be due.

8. As of the date of this opinion, there is no tax, duty, levy, impost, deduction, governmental charge or withholding imposed by the Republic or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein by virtue of the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Dealer Manager Agreement (except for court fees and taxes incurred in connection with enforcement proceedings) or to ensure the legality, enforceability, validity or admissibility into evidence of the Agreements or of any other document to be furnished thereunder and neither is it necessary that the Agreements be submitted to, filed or recorded with any court or other authority in the Republic to ensure such legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility into evidence (except for translation, court fees and taxes incurred in connection with enforcement proceedings).

9. The New Bonds (assuming they are issued substantially in the form of bonds of the same series that were initially issued), when duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered pursuant to the Invitation and the Fiscal Agency Agreement, will be the direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations of the Republic; the full faith and credit of the Republic will be pledged for the due and punctual payment of the principal of, interest on, and any additional amount required to be paid with respect to the New Bonds and the performance of the covenants therein contained; the New Bonds will rank pari passu in priority of payment and in all other respects with all other External Indebtedness (as defined in Base Prospectus under “Description of the Securities”) of the Republic.

10. When issued, the New Bonds (assuming they are issued substantially in the form of bonds of the same series that were initially issued) and all payments thereon will be made without deduction and free from any and all stamp or issuance or transfer taxes and no income, capital gains or withholding taxes or other charges of whatsoever nature of the Republic, except to the extent that such New Bonds or payments will be held or received by persons who are subject to tax for reasons other than the mere holding of such New Bonds or receiving payments thereon.

11. It is not necessary under the laws of the Republic that the Joint Dealer Managers be licensed, qualified or entitled to carry on business in the Republic by reason of the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Dealer Manager Agreement, and the Joint Dealer Manager will not be deemed resident, domiciled, to be carrying on business or subject to taxation in the Republic solely by reason of the execution, delivery, performance outside the Republic or enforcement of the Dealer Manager Agreement.

I-4

12. The Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus and their filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission have been duly authorized by and on behalf of the Republic, and the Registration Statement has been duly executed by and on behalf of the Republic. Mrs. Betty Sotelo Bazán and Mr. Helí Pelaez Castro have been duly appointed as the Authorized Representatives of the Republic in connection with the Registration Statement.

13. The statements under the captions “The Republic of Peru”, “The Economy”, “Balance of Payments and Foreign Trade”, “The Monetary System”, “Public Sector Finances”, “Public Sector Debt”, “Description of the Securities” and “Taxation” in the Base Prospectus and under the captions “Recent Developments”, “Description of the Reopened Bonds and the 2037 Bonds” and “Taxation” in the Prospectus Supplement insofar as such statements constitute a summary of the documents or matters referred to therein, taken as a whole, are an accurate summary of such documents and matters.

14. Based upon due inquiry of officials of the Republic involved in the preparation of the Registration Statement and the Invitation Materials, nothing has come to my attention that would caused me to believe that the Registration Statement and the Invitation Materials (except for financial information and other financial data contained or incorporated therein, as to which I express no belief), did not, as of the dates thereof, and do not, as of the date hereof, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at such dates, not misleading.

15. The laws of the Republic do not require any statute or regulation or legal or governmental proceeding, or any contract or document of the Republic of any character, to be described in the Registration Statement and the Invitation Materials.

16. The execution and delivery of the Dealer Manager Agreement, the New Bonds and all other documents to be executed and delivered by the Republic thereunder, the incurrence of obligations therein set forth, the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated and the issuance and delivery of the New Bonds do not, and will not, result in the exercise of, or give rise to a right to exercise, any put, call or other option which, if exercised, might result in a material adverse change in the financial condition of the Republic and there are no puts, calls or other options to which the Republic is subject which if exercised would result in such a change.

17. Under the laws of the Republic, the Republic has (i) validly and irrevocably submitted to the jurisdiction of any New York State court or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in any action arising out of or based on the Dealer Manager Agreement; (ii) validly and irrevocably submitted to the jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court located in New York City, State of New York, in any action arising out of or based on the Fiscal Agency Agreement; (iii) validly and irrevocably waived any objection to the venue of any such action in any such court; and (iv) validly appointed CT Corporation, presently located at 111 Eighth Avenue, 13th floor, New York, New York, as its authorized agent for the purpose described therein; service of process effected in the manner set forth in the Dealer Manager Agreement or the Fiscal Agency Agreement, as applicable, will be effective to confer valid personal jurisdiction over the Republic in any such action; and the waiver by the Republic under the Dealer Manager Agreement or the Fiscal Agency Agreement, as applicable, of any immunity to jurisdiction to which it may otherwise be entitled (including sovereign immunity) is legal, valid and binding under the laws of the Republic.

I-5

The opinions set forth above are subject in all respects to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to questions arising under the laws of the Republic in effect as of the date hereof. This opinion letter is furnished to you in your capacity as Joint Dealer Managers under the Dealer Manager Agreement, and is solely for your benefit as such. This opinion letter is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose.

Very truly yours,

Manuel Velarde

We have acted as United States counsel to the Republic of Peru (the “Republic”) in connection with an invitation (the “Invitation”) to holders of certain of the Republic’s outstanding securities as follows: (i) to exchange up to U.S.$750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 8.375% Global Bonds due 2016 (the “2016 Global Bonds”) or an unlimited amount of 8.750% Global Bonds due 2033 (together with the 2016 Global Bonds, the “Reopened Bonds”) for its outstanding 9.125% Global Bonds due 2012 (the “2012 Global Bonds”) and/or to tender the 2012 Global Bonds for cash, subject to certain limits set forth in the Prospectus (as defined below); and (ii) to exchange a minimum of U.S.$400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of a new series of Global Bonds due 2037 (together with the Reopened Bonds, the “Exchange Bonds”) that will be issued on or about the Settlement Date (as defined in the Dealer Manager Agreement) for certain outstanding Brady Bonds as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement, and/or to tender the Brady Bonds for cash, pursuant to the Dealer Manager Agreement dated February 15, 2007 among the Republic and each of you (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”). The Exchange Bonds will be issued and delivered by the Republic pursuant to the Invitation Materials (as defined in Dealer Manager Agreement) and the Fiscal Agency Agreement, dated as of February 6, 2003 (as amended to the time hereof, the “Fiscal Agency Agreement”), between the Republic and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (currently, The Bank of New York, successor fiscal agent to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.) (the “Fiscal Agent”).

We have examined the Registration Statement on Schedule B (File No. 333-139486) filed by the Republic under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) as it became effective under the Securities Act, the Republic’s prospectus dated January 17, 2007 (the “Base Prospectus”), as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated February 15, 2007 (the “Prospectus Supplement” and, together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”), filed by the Republic pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act; the Fiscal Agency Agreement relating to the Exchange Bonds; and the Dealer Manager Agreement. In addition, we have examined, and have relied as to matters of fact upon, the documents delivered to you at the closing and upon originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such records, agreements, documents and other instruments and such certificates or comparable documents.

In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Dealer Manager Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Republic in accordance with the law of the State of New York; and assuming that the Dealer Manager Agreement is the valid and legally binding obligation of each of you, the Dealer Manager Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Republic enforceable against the Republic in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability thereof may be limited by considerations of public policy.

2. The Fiscal Agency Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Republic in accordance with the law of the State of New York; and assuming that the Fiscal Agency Agreement is the valid and legally binding obligation of the Fiscal Agent, the Fiscal Agency Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Republic enforceable against the Republic in accordance with its terms.

3. The Exchange Bonds have been duly executed and issued by the Republic, in accordance with the law of the State of New York; and when authenticated by the Fiscal Agent in accordance with the terms of the Fiscal Agency Agreement and upon the exchange thereof for 2012 Global Bonds or Brady Bonds, as applicable, as provided in the Dealer Manager Agreement and as contemplated in the Prospectus, the Exchange Bonds will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Republic enforceable against the Republic in accordance with their terms.

II-2

4. The making of the Invitation and the performance by the Republic of its obligations in the Dealer Manager Agreement and the Fiscal Agency Agreement will not require any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any U.S. federal or New York state governmental agency or body or, to our knowledge, court, except such as have been obtained or effected under the Securities Act (except that we express no opinion relating to the any state securities or Blue Sky laws).

5. The statements made in the Base Prospectus under the caption “Description of the Securities” and in the Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Description of the Reopened Bonds and the 2037 Bonds”, insofar as they purport to constitute summaries of certain terms of documents referred to therein, constitute accurate summaries of the terms of such documents in all material respects.

6. The statements made in the Base Prospectus under the caption “Taxation” and Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Taxation”, insofar as they purport to constitute summaries of matters of U.S. federal tax law and regulations or legal conclusions with respect thereto, constitute accurate summaries of the matters described therein in all material respects.

7. Assuming validity under the laws of the Republic of Peru, under the laws of the State of New York relating to submission to jurisdiction, the Republic, pursuant to Section 14 of the Dealer Manager Agreement and the corresponding provisions of the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Exchange Bonds has (i) validly and irrevocably submitted to the personal jurisdiction of any New York State or U.S. federal court located on the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in any action arising our or relating to the Dealer Manager Agreement or the Fiscal Agency Agreement, and (ii) validly appointed CT Corporation System as its initial authorized agent for the purpose described in Section 14 of the Dealer Manager Agreement, Section 8.6 (c) of the Fiscal Agency Agreement and Section 10 (b) of the Exchange Bonds; and service of process effected in the manner set forth in Section 14 of the Dealer Manager Agreement, Section 8.6 (c) of the Fiscal Agency Agreement and Section 10 (b) of the Exchange Bonds, will be effective to confer valid personal jurisdiction over the Republic in any such action.

Our opinions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 above are subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), (iii) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing (iv) the possible judicial application of foreign laws or foreign governmental or judicial action affecting creditors’ rights and (v) considerations of public policy.

We express no opinion herein as to the validity, legally binding effect or enforceability of Section 16 of the Dealer Manager Agreement relating to the severability of the provisions of the Dealer Manager Agreement.

II-3

Our opinion set forth in paragraph 4 above is limited to our review of only the statutes, rules and regulations that, in our experience, are customarily applicable to the transactions of the type contemplated by the Invitation and the Prospectus.

In connection with the provisions of the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and Section 10 (b) of the Exchange Bonds, whereby the Republic submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States of America located in the State of New York, we note the limitations of 28 U.S.C. §§ 1330, 1331 and 1332 on subject matter jurisdiction of the U.S. federal courts. In connection with the provisions of the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and Section 10 (b) of the Exchange Bonds, which relate to forum selection (including without limitation, any waiver of any objection to venue or any objection that the court is an inconvenient forum), we note that under NYCPLR § 510 a New York state court may have discretion to transfer the place of trial and under 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) a United States District Court has discretion to transfer an action from one U.S. federal court to another.

We express no opinion as to the enforceability of the provisions of Section 15 of the Dealer Manager Agreement providing for indemnity by the Republic for any loss incurred by the Dealer Managers in obtaining any U.S. dollar amount due to such party under the Dealer Manager Agreement from a court judgment or order in another currency. We note that (i) a New York state statute provides that with respect to a foreign currency obligation a New York state court shall render a judgment or decree in such foreign currency and such judgment or decree shall be converted into currency of the United States at a rate of exchange prevailing on the date of entry of the judgment or decree and (ii) with respect to a foreign currency obligation a U.S. federal court sitting in New York may award judgment in U.S. dollars, provided that we express no opinion as to the rate of exchange that such court would apply.

We note that enforceability in the United States of the waiver by the Republic of its immunity (including sovereign immunity) from court jurisdiction, as set forth in the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and Section 10 (b) of the Exchange Bonds, is subject to limitations imposed by the U.S. Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976.

We do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the law of the State of New York and the federal law of the United States. We understand that, with respect to all matters of Peruvian laws, you are relying on the opinion letters of Manuel Velarde, Legal Counsel to the Republic, and of Estudio Rubio, Leguía, Normand y Asociados, your Peruvian counsel, each dated the date hereof.

II-4

This opinion letter is rendered to you in connection with the above-described transaction. This opinion letter may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose, or relied upon by, or furnished to, any other person, firm or corporation without our prior written consent, except that the Fiscal Agent may rely upon the opinions set forth in paragraph numbers 2 and 3 of this opinion letter as if rendered to the Fiscal Agent on the date hereof, subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions set forth herein relating to such opinion paragraphs.

Very truly yours,
