The Old Notes are, and the Exchange Notes will be, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company (the "Guarantee") and the Subsidiary Guarantors on a senior subordinated basis. The Indenture is an exhibit to the Registration Statement. We have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Indenture and the minutes of the board meeting of the Company dated as of January 22, 2003 and February 17, 2003 (the "Relevant Documents"), as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below.

The Indenture has been duly executed and delivered by the Company. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Indenture and the performance by the Company of its agreements and obligations under the Indenture have been duly authorised by all requisite corporate action and do not (i) conflict with the certificate of incorporation or other constitutive documents of the Company, (ii) contravene or constitute a default under any provision of any law, ruling or order of Peru, or any governmental authority in Peru, or (iii) require any approval of, notice to, filing with, or license or permit from or other action by, any governmental authority under any applicable law of Peru.
