General. i) This Debt Security is one of a duly authorized Series of debt securities of the Republic of Peru (the “Republic”), designated as its 3.550% U.S. Dollar-Denominated Global Bonds due 2051 (each Debt Security of this Series, a “Debt Security” and, collectively, the “Debt Securities”), and issued or to be issued in one or more Series pursuant to an Indenture dated as of August 25, 2015, among the Republic, The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Luxembourg Branch, as Luxembourg paying agent and Luxembourg transfer agent, as amended from time to time (the “Indenture”). The Holders of the Debt Securities will be entitled to the benefits of, be bound by, and be deemed to have notice of, all of the provisions of the Indenture. A copy of the Indenture is on file and may be inspected at the Corporate Trust Office. All capitalized terms used in this Debt Security but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
ii) The Debt Securities constitute and will constitute direct, general, unconditional and unsubordinated Public External Indebtedness of the Republic for which the full faith and credit of the Republic is pledged. The Debt Securities rank and will rank without any preference among themselves and equally with all other unsubordinated Public External Indebtedness of the Republic. It is understood that this provision shall not be construed so as to require the Republic to make payments under the Debt Securities ratably with payments being made under any other Public External Indebtedness.
iii) The Debt Securities are in fully registered form, without coupons in denominations of U.S.$1,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof. The Debt Securities may be issued in certificated form (the “Certificated Securities”), or may be represented by one or more registered global securities (each, a “Global Security”) held by or on behalf of the Depositary. Certificated Securities will be available only in the limited circumstances set forth in the Indenture. The Debt Securities, and transfers thereof, shall be registered as provided in Section 2.6 of the Indenture. Any person in whose name a Debt Security shall be registered may (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) be treated at all times, by all persons and for all purposes as the absolute owner of such Debt Security regardless of any notice of ownership, theft, loss or any writing thereon.
