"Make Whole Premium" means, with respect to any redemption of the
Certificates, the amount (but not less than zero) calculated as of any optional
or mandatory redemption date obtained by subtracting (a) the sum of the Current
Values of each payment of principal that would otherwise have become due on each
Payment Date occurring on or after such redemption date if the principal and
interest component of the redemption price actually paid on such redemption date
were not being paid in satisfaction thereof (each such payment an "Amount
Payable"), where "d" in the formula below is the financing rate equal to 7.48%
per annum from (b) the sum of the Current Values of each Amount Payable where
"d" in the formula below is the sum of the Treasury Yield plus 50 basis points.
The "Current Value" of any Amount Payable means such Amount Payable discounted
(on a semi annual basis) to its present value on such redemption date at yield
of "d" in accordance with the following formula:
Current Value = Amount Payable
--------------
(1 + d/2)/n/
9
where "n" is an exponent (which need not be an integer) equal to the number of
semi-annual periods and portion thereof (any such portion of a period to be
determined by dividing the number of days in such portion of such period by the
total number of days in such period, both computed on the basis of twelve 30-day
months in a 360-day year) between such redemption date and the due date of the
Amount Payable. The "Treasury Yield" shall be equal to the yield to maturity
implied by (i) the yield reported, as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the
second Business Day preceding the date of determination of the Make Whole
Premium, on the display designated as "Page 500" on the Telerate Service for
actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to
the then remaining weighted average life to maturity of all Amounts Payable (the
"Remaining Life"), computed by dividing (x) the sum of all Amounts Payable into
(y) the total of the products obtained by multiplying (A) the amount of each
Amount Payable by (B) the number of years (calculated to the nearest
one-twelfth) which will elapse between the date as of which such computation is
made and the due date of the Amount Payable, or (ii) if such yields shall not be
reported as of such time or the yield reports as of such time shall not be
ascertainable, the Treasury Constant Maturity Series yields reported as of the
Business Day preceding the date of determination of the Make Whole Premium, in
Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) (or any comparable successor
publication) for actively traded U.S. Treasury Securities having a constant
maturity equal to the Remaining Life as of such date of determination. If the
"Page 500" on the Telerate Service or the Federal Reserve Statistical Release
H.15 (519) (or any comparable successor publication) are no longer in
publication, such implied yield shall be determined by (1) converting U.S.
Treasury xxxx quotations to bond-equivalent yields in accordance with accepted
financial practice and (2) interpolating linearly between reported yields. The
Treasury Yield shall be computed to the fifth decimal place (one-thousandth of a
percentage point) and then rounded to the fourth decimal place (one-hundredth of
a percentage point).

characterization of any outstanding Certificates in a manner adverse to

could reasonably be expected to alter the characterization of any outstanding
Certificates as indebtedness; (C) for Peruvian tax purposes or U.S. federal
income tax purposes causes or could reasonably be expected to cause a taxable
event to the Certificateholder of any outstanding Certificate; (D) for Peruvian
tax purposes causes or could reasonably be expected to cause the Trust to be
treated as a separate entity that will be subject to an entity level tax; and
(E) for U.S. federal income tax purposes causes or could reasonably be expected
to cause the Trust to be taxable as a corporation or (iv) adversely alters the

(b) In order to establish the Trust created hereby, Telefonica del Peru
appoints the Trustee to act as trustee hereunder and the Trustee hereby accepts
the Trust created hereby and declares that it will hold all estate, right, title
and interest of the Trust in and to any property (including, without limitation,
the Transferred Property, and all funds on deposit in the Collection Account,
the Certificate Account, the Reserve Account, the Debt Service Reserve Account
and the Coverage Shortfall Account and all other payments by any Person in
respect thereof, and any and all assets related thereto, proceeds therefrom,
payments under or distributions in respect thereof), now existing or at any time
hereafter created, which is at any time conveyed to the Trustee pursuant to the
Transfer Agreement and the terms and conditions hereof or to which the Trust
otherwise holds estate, right, title and interest (such property, the "Trust
Estate") in trust for the use and benefit of the Certificateholders from time to
time of the Certificates and the holder of the Transferor Certificate, all in
accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The Trustee shall
have no power to create, assume or incur indebtedness or other liabilities other

Agreement.
SECTION 2.02. Security Interest. (a) Telefonica del Peru intends that the
transfer, assignment, delivery and conveyance of (i) the Purchased Receivables,

Receivables, and (iii) all other payments by any Person in respect of the

Amount on each Payment Date and all other amounts payable hereunder to the
Certificateholders from the Trust Estate and (ii) the performance of all of
Telefonica del Peru's obligations hereunder (including its obligations to the
Trustee), Telefonica del Peru grants to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and
for the ratable benefit of the Certificateholders from time to time, a
continuing security interest in and to all of Telefonica del Peru's right, title
and interest in the Trust Estate, whether now owned or existing or hereafter
acquired or arising; including:
(A) the Transferred Property;
(B) the Trust Accounts;
(C) all securities entitlements with respect to all securities and other
property held in the Trust Accounts;
(D) all cash, securities, investments and other monies and properties of

possession or control of the Trustee from time to time as part of the
Trust Estate; and
(E) all revenues, issues, products, accessions, substitutions,
replacements and proceeds of and from all of the foregoing.
For such purpose, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement (as
defined in the UCC).
(b) Telefonica del Peru hereby represents (i) that no Purchased Receivable
constitutes proceeds of property in which any third party has a perfected
security interest, (ii) that neither Telefonica del Peru nor any of its
creditors has given notice to the Designated Carriers constituting "notification
to the account debtor" within the meaning of the UCC (other than the
Instructions and Notice of Closing) and (iii) that immediately prior to the
purchase by the Trust of any receivable of a Designated Carrier, Telefonica del
Peru was the sole owner of such Purchased Receivable, free and clear of the
interest of any creditor or purchaser (each as defined in the UCC).

authorized, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the request of
Telefonica del Peru, to execute, authenticate, issue and deliver the Rule 144A
Global Certificate and the Regulation S Global Certificate (collectively,
together with any trust certificates issued in exchange therefor or in
replacement thereof, the "Certificates") on the Business Day specified therefor
by Telefonica del Peru (the "Closing Date"). The Rule 144A Global Certificate
and Regulation S Global Certificate shall be in substantially the form of
Exhibits A-1 and A-2 hereto, respectively. The Certificates will not represent
an obligation of Telefonica del Peru, the Trustee or any of their respective
Affiliates, except as provided herein and therein. The Certificates shall, with
the exception of the
17
Transferor Certificate, be equally and ratably entitled as provided herein to
the benefits of this Agreement, without preference, priority or distinction.
Each Certificateholder, by acceptance of its Certificate(s), agrees and
acknowledges that its interest in the Trust and the Trust Estate represented by
its Certificate shall not include any estate, right, title or interest in any
part of the Trust or the Trust Estate which is transferred and conveyed to or
held by the Trustee on behalf of or for the benefit of any other
Certificateholder of Certificates issued under this Agreement.
(b) Each Certificate shall represent an interest, in the amount therein
specified (the "Original Face Amount"), in the Trust Estate. The Original Face
Amount of each Certificate shall equal such Certificate's pro rata share of the
initial Certificate Balance of the Certificates.
(c) Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Paying Agent will pay such
amount as is necessary to reduce the Certificate Balance of the Certificates to
zero, together with interest thereon at the Certificate Rate in effect from time
to time is payable pursuant to, and to the extent set forth in, Article III
hereof in respect of each Certificate, in semiannual payments payable on each
Payment Date (to the extent funds shall have been received therefor by the
Trustee) equal to the Semiannual Payment Amount for such Payment Date. The
scheduled final Payment Date for the Certificates is the Payment Date occurring
on December 15, 2008.
(d) The Certificates shall be executed by the Trustee under and pursuant to
this Agreement in the aggregate Original Face Amount of $150,000,000 on the
Closing Date. On the Closing Date, the Trustee will deliver to Telefonica del
Peru or its designee a certificate (the "Transferor Certificate"), substantially
in the form of Exhibit B hereto, representing an undivided beneficial interest
in the Trust Estate not represented by Certificates.
(e) It is the intent of Telefonica del Peru and the Certificateholders that
for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes the Certificates will be
indebtedness of Telefonica del Peru, secured by the Purchased Receivables, and
the Trust will not be a separate entity but merely a security device.
(f) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Telefonica del Peru
shall deliver to the Trustee an opinion with respect to this Agreement (in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and to be negotiated in
good faith prior to the execution of this Agreement), dated the date of this

the Trustee whose signature, whether facsimile or not, shall appear on any of
the Certificates shall cease to be such an authorized signatory of the Trustee
before such Certificates shall have been issued and delivered by the Trustee or

the Trustee.

deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received
instructions to such effect from Certificateholders owning or representing,
respectively, such required percentage of the Book-Entry Certificates and
has delivered such instructions to the Trustee; and
(vii) any transfer of an interest in a Book-Entry Certificate by a
Certificateholder will be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section

Section 2.05.

its responsibilities under the applicable
19
depository agreement, and (B) neither the Trustee nor Telefonica del Peru is
able to locate a qualified successor or (ii) Telefonica del Peru, at its option,

issued in registered form shall be promptly registered by the Trustee and shall

thereof; (ii) except as provided herein shall be transferable, in whole or in
part, and exchangeable for other Certificates of other Authorized Denominations
of equal aggregate Original Face Amount upon presentation and surrender thereof

Certificate presented for exchange is divided into more than one Certificate,
the Original Face Amount of such outstanding Certificate shall be divided among
such subsequently issued Certificates as directed by the Certificateholder
presenting such outstanding Certificate and the Original Face Amount set forth
on such subsequently issued Certificates shall be deemed to be the Original Face
Amount of such subsequently issued Certificates.
(b) Prior to registration of transfer of a Certificate in registered form,
the Trustee shall deem and treat the Person in whose name such Certificate is
registered as the absolute owner of such Certificate for all purposes and shall
not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
20
(c) Unless otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall cause to be kept at
the Corporate Trust Office a separate register for each Certificate (a
"Register") in which it shall (i) register the issuance and transfer each
Certificateholder's interest in each Certificate, (ii) record the Original Face
Amount of each Certificate and all reductions thereto and all payments made in
respect thereof and (iii) record any other matters required pursuant to the
terms hereof. Upon presentation of any Certificates in registered form for
registration of transfer, the Trustee shall, subject to any restrictions
contained herein, register any transfer or exchange as hereinabove provided and
under such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe. The Register and the
entries thereon shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(d) No fee shall be charged to the Certificateholder of any Certificate for
any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment by
the Person requesting such registration of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for
any governmental tax, charge or other similar expense connected therewith.
(e) The "Record Date" with respect to each Payment Date for the
Certificates shall be the first day of the calendar month on which such Payment
Date occurs, or if such Record Date is not a Business Day, on the immediately
preceding Business Day, and all payments to be made by the Trustee on or after a
Record Date up to the next succeeding Record Date shall be made to the
Certificateholders of record on such preceding Record Date.
SECTION 2.06. Replacement of Certificates. In case any Certificate shall
become mutilated or defaced or be lost, destroyed or stolen, then on the terms
herein set forth, and not otherwise, the Trustee shall execute and deliver a new
Certificate, with the same Original Face Amount and date, and bearing such
identifying number or designation as the Trustee may determine, in exchange and
substitution for, and upon cancellation of, such mutilated or defaced
Certificate, or in lieu of and in substitution for the same if lost, destroyed
or stolen. The applicant for a new Certificate pursuant to this Section 2.06
shall furnish to the Trustee evidence to the Trustee's satisfaction of the loss,
destruction or theft of such Certificate alleged to have been lost, destroyed or
stolen and of the ownership and authenticity of such mutilated, defaced, lost,
destroyed or stolen Certificate, and also shall furnish such security or
indemnity as may be required by the Trustee, and shall pay all expenses and
charges of such substitution or exchange (including legal fees of the Trust, the
Paying Agent and the Trustee). All mutilated or defaced Certificates shall be
disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its policy of disposal upon its
delivery of a new Certificate to the Certificateholder of such mutilated or
defaced Certificate.
SECTION 2.07. Payments on Certificates. Unless otherwise provided herein,
payments on Certificates shall be payable by wire transfer or other means
pursuant to the payment instructions of any Certificateholder (which may be
standing instructions applicable to all payments until subsequent notices are
given) provided to the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the date of
such payment. If on the date of any such payment, the Trustee has not received
payment instructions satisfactory to the Trustee, the Trustee shall promptly
notify the Certificateholder or Certificateholders failing to deliver
satisfactory payment instructions that the Trustee is holding such amounts on
its behalf. Absent receipt of such payment instructions, the Trustee shall make
payments to Certificateholders by check in U.S. dollars. All payments to
Certificateholders shall
21
be in Dollars, but only from and out of monies received by the Trustee as a
portion of the Trust Estate in which such Certificateholder has an interest and
applicable to such payment under the provisions hereof. By acceptance of its
Certificate, each Certificateholder agrees that, unless otherwise provided
herein, upon final payment of all amounts due hereunder in respect of such
Certificate it shall promptly surrender its Certificate to the Trustee for
cancellation. All Certificates surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation or
for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and disposed of by
the Trustee in accordance with its policy of disposal.
SECTION 2.08. Statement of Rights in Certificates. Subject to the terms
hereof, in the event that any Certificateholder of a Certificate desires to
transfer its Certificate, the Trustee, upon written request, shall issue a
statement setting forth the then outstanding Adjusted Face Amount as shown on
the appropriate Register.
SECTION 2.09. Certain Transfer Restrictions. (a) No Certificate, or
interest therein, may be sold or transferred (including by pledge or
hypothecation) except in accordance with this Section 2.09 and unless (i) the
registration requirements of the Act and any applicable state securities are
complied with, or (ii) such transfer is made to a Person (A) that the transferor
reasonably believes after due inquiry is a QIB that is acting for its own
account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or an agent for
others (which others are QIBs) to whom notice is given that the transfer is
being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (B) to a non-U.S. person in an offshore
transaction in accordance with Regulation S, and in each case in compliance with
the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws. Through and
including the "40-day restricted period" (within the meaning of Rule 903(c)(3)
of Regulation S), which date is January 25, 1999, beneficial interests in the
Regulation S Global Certificates may be held only through the Depository (in the
United States) or Euroclear or Cedel (in Europe), as participating organizations
in the Depository, unless transferred to a QIB that takes delivery of such
beneficial interest through a Rule 144A Global Certificate or, in certain
circumstances, through one or more Definitive Certificates in accordance with
the terms hereof. Beneficial interests in the Rule 144A Global Certificates may
not be exchanged for beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global
Certificates at any time except in accordance with the terms hereof. Any
Certificate, or interest therein, transferred or sold that is not in compliance
with this Section 2.09 shall be null and void. The Trustee shall have no
liability with respect to any Certificate which has become null and void.
(b) In addition, no transfer of a Certificate, or interest therein, will be
made unless the prospective transferee has certified to the Trustee that at
least one of the following statements is an accurate representation as to the
source of funds to be used by it to pay the purchase price of the Certificate,
or interest therein, or as to its acquisition of the Certificate, or interest
therein, as applicable. Either (i) the source is an ?insurance company general
account" within the meaning of Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class
Exemption 95-60 ("PTE 95-60") and all of the applicable requirements of PTE
95-60 are satisfied and the acquisition of the Certificates is exempt from the
prohibited transaction restrictions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code to the
fullest extent provided under such exemption; or (ii) the source does not
include assets of any "employee benefit plan" as defined in Section 3(3) of
ERISA that is subject to Title I of ERISA or any "plan" as defined in Section
4975 of the Code or any entity which may be deemed to hold the assets of any
22
such plan pursuant to regulations promulgated by the United States Department of
Labor at 29 C.F.R. (S) 2510.3-101 or otherwise (a "Benefit Plan").
(c) Rule 144A Global Certificate to Regulation S Global Certificate. After
the expiration of the ?40-day restricted period" (within the meaning of Rule
903(c)(3) of Regulation S), which date is January 25, 1999, if a
Certificateholder of a Rule 144A Global Certificate deposited with the
Depository wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Rule 144A Global
Certificate for an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate, or to transfer
its interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate to a Person who wishes to take
delivery thereof in the form of an interest in such Regulation S Global
Certificate, such Certificateholder may, subject to the rules and procedures of
Euroclear or Cedel and the Depository and to the requirements set forth in the
following sentence, exchange or cause the exchange or transfer or cause the
transfer of such interest for an equivalent interest in such Regulation S Global
Certificate. Upon receipt by the Trustee, as transfer agent, at the Corporate
Trust Office of (1) instructions given in accordance with Euroclear or Cedel and
the Depository's procedures from an agent member directing the Trustee to credit
or cause to be credited such Regulation S Global Certificate in an amount equal
to the interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to be exchanged or
transferred, (2) a written order given in accordance with the Depository's
procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the
Depository and such order to contain information regarding the agent member's
account with the Depository or Euroclear or Cedel to be credited with such
increase and (3) a certificate given by the transferor (upon which the Trustee
may conclusively rely), the Trustee, as transfer agent, shall instruct the
Depository, its nominee, or the custodian for the Depository, as the case may
be, to reduce or reflect on its records a reduction of such Rule 144A Global
Certificate by the aggregate principal amount of the interest in such Rule 144A
Global Certificate to be so exchanged or transferred and the Trustee, as
transfer agent, shall instruct the Depository, its nominee, or the custodian for
the Depository, as the case may be, concurrently with such reduction, to
increase or reflect on its records an increase of the principal amount of such
Regulation S Global Certificate by the aggregate principal amount of the
interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate to be so exchanged or transferred,
and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in
such instructions an interest in such Regulation S Global Certificate equal to
the reduction in the principal amount of such Rule 144A Global Certificate.
(d) Regulation S Global Certificate to Rule 144A Global Certificate. If a
Certificateholder of a Regulation S Global Certificate that is deposited with
the Depository wishes at any time to exchange its interest for an interest in a
Rule 144A Global Certificate, or to transfer its interest in such Regulation S
Global Certificate to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form
of an interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate, such Certificateholder may,
subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear or Cedel and the Depository, as
the case may be, and to the requirements set forth in the following sentence,
exchange or cause the exchange or transfer or cause the transfer of such
interest for an equivalent interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate. Upon
receipt by the Trustee, as transfer agent, at the Corporate Trust Office of (1)
instructions from Euroclear or Cedel or the Depository, as the case may be,
directing the Trustee, as transfer agent, to credit or cause to be credited such
Rule 144A Global Certificate equal to the interest in the Regulation S Global
Certificate to be exchanged or transferred, such instructions to contain
information regarding the agent member's account with the Depository to be
credited with such
23
increase, and (2) a certificate given by the transferor (upon which the Trustee
may conclusively rely), the Trustee, as transfer agent, shall instruct the
Depository, its nominee, or the custodian for the Depository, as the case may
be, to reduce or reflect on its records a reduction of such Regulation S Global
Certificate by the aggregate principal amount of the interest in such Regulation
S Global Certificate to be exchanged or transferred, and the Trustee, as
transfer agent, shall instruct the Depository, its nominee, or the custodian for
the Depository, as the case may be, concurrently with such reduction, to
increase or reflect on its records an increase of the principal amount of such
Rule 144A Global Certificate by the aggregate principal amount of the interest
in such Regulation S Global Certificate to be so exchanged or transferred, and
to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such
instructions an interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate equal to the
reduction in the principal amount of such Regulation S Global Certificate.
(e) Rule 144A Global Certificate to Rule 144A Global Certificate;
Regulation S Global Certificate to Regulation S Global Certificate. If a
Certificateholder of a Rule 144A Global Certificate that is deposited with the
Depository wishes at any time to exchange its interest for an interest in a Rule
144A Global Certificate, or to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A Global
Certificate to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an
interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate, such Certificateholder may,
subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear or Cedel and the Depository, as
the case may be, and to the other applicable provisions in this Agreement,
exchange or cause the exchange or transfer or cause the transfer of such
interest for an equivalent interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate.
Similarly, if a Certificateholder of a Regulation S Global Certificate that is
deposited with the Depository wishes at any time to exchange its interest for an
interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate, or to transfer its interest in
such Regulation S Global Certificate to a Person who wishes to take delivery
thereof in the form of an interest in such Regulation S Global Certificate, such
Certificateholder may, subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear or Cedel
and the Depository, as the case may be, and to the other applicable provisions
in this Agreement, exchange or cause the exchange or transfer or cause the
transfer of such interest for an equivalent interest in such Regulation S Global
Certificate.
(f) Other Exchanges. In the event that a Book-Entry Certificate is
exchanged for a Definitive Certificate pursuant to Section 2.02(c), such
exchange and any subsequent exchange or transfer of such Definitive Certificates
shall only be made in accordance with clauses (a) and (b) above and with such
procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of clauses (c)
and (d) above (including the certification requirements intended to ensure that
such exchanges or transfers comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S, as the case
may be) and as may be from time to time adopted by the Trustee.
(g) No Obligation To Monitor. The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty
to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on
transfer imposed under this Agreement or under applicable law with respect to
any transfer of any interest in any Certificate other than to require delivery
of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly
required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this
Agreement, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to
form with the express requirements hereof.

ARTICLE III
RIGHTS OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS; ESTABLISHMENT OF ACCOUNTS
AND APPLICATION OF COLLECTIONS AND OTHER PAYMENTS
SECTION 3.01. Rights of Certificateholders and the holder of the Transferor
Certificate. Certificates shall represent and confer ratable entitlements to
payments and distributions to the Certificateholders and the holder of the
Transferor Certificate hereof at the time such entitlements vest in accordance
with the terms hereto and shall consist of the right to receive (a) the portion
of Collections and all other amounts allocable or payable to Certificateholders
and the holder of the Transferor Certificate pursuant to this Agreement, (b)
funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Certificate Account, the Reserve
Account, the Debt Service Reserve Account and the Coverage Shortfall Account to
the extent provided herein; and (c) investment earnings on funds on deposit in
the Collection Account, the Certificate Account, the Reserve Account, the Debt
Service Reserve Account and the Coverage Shortfall Account to the extent
provided herein.
SECTION 3.02. Establishment of Accounts. (a) The Trustee shall establish
and maintain with the Trustee's Cayman Islands branch a non-interest bearing
segregated Eligible Account in the name of the Trustee designated as the
Telefonica del Peru Collection Account, ABA #000000000, GLA #111-565, for
further credit to: A/C 356365 ("Collection Account"), which account shall be for
the express benefit of Telefonica del Peru, the Trust and the Certificateholders
in accordance with their respective interests therein. All Collections received
by the Trustee from any Designated Carrier or from any other Person in respect
of the Purchased Receivables on any Business Day shall be promptly deposited
into the Collection Account.
(b) The Trustee, for the express benefit of the Certificateholders, is
hereby authorized and directed to establish as part of the Trust Estate with the
Trustee's Cayman Island branch a non-interest bearing segregated Eligible
Account designated as the Telefonica del Peru Certificate Account, ABA
#000000000, GLA #111-565, for further credit to: A/C 356366 (the "Certificate
Account"). The Trustee shall transfer funds in the Collection Account to the
Certificate Account as set forth in Section 3.03 hereof.
(c) (i) The Trustee, for the express benefit of the Certificateholders, is
hereby authorized and directed to establish as part of the Trust Estate with the
Trustee's Cayman Islands branch a non-interest bearing segregated Eligible
Account designated as the Telefonica del Peru Reserve Account, ABA #000000000,
GLA #111-565, for further credit to: A/C 356367 (the "Reserve Account"). The
Reserve Account will initially be funded by the Trustee, on the Closing Date,
from the proceeds of the sale of Certificates to the Initial Purchaser by the
Trust, at the direction of Telefonica del Peru, with cash equal to the Reserve
Amount Cap. The Reserve Account will thereafter be maintained by the Trustee, to
the extent funds are available therefor from the assets of the Trust Estate, at
the Reserve Amount Cap and will be held as collateral by the Trustee in favor of
the Certificateholders until the Certificates are fully repaid. Provided that no
Specified Event has occurred and is continuing, if on any Payment Date the
balance on deposit in the Reserve Account exceeds the Reserve Amount Cap, the
Trustee will, on such Payment Date, be
25
required to pay promptly such excess to Telefonica del Peru as the holder of the
Transferor Certificate.
(ii) At the election of Telefonica del Peru, as an alternative to
maintaining the funding of the Reserve Account, Telefonica del Peru may cause a
letter of credit in a face amount equal to the Reserve Amount Cap (the "Reserve
LC"), denominated in Dollars, to be issued for the benefit of the Trustee on
behalf of the Certificateholders, by a Qualified LC Bank. The expiration date of
any such Reserve LC shall initially be the first anniversary of its issuance
date. If, with respect to any scheduled expiration on any such Reserve LC, the
expiration date of any such Reserve LC is not extended for an additional year
and confirmed by a Qualified LC Bank prior to 20 days before the expiration date
thereof, the Trustee promptly shall draw the full amount thereof and deposit
such amount in the Reserve Account.
(iii) In the event that on any Payment Date the collections of Purchased
Receivables are insufficient to pay amounts then due and payable with respect to
the Certificates, the Trustee shall draw amounts as necessary from the Reserve
Account or from the Reserve LC, as the case may be, to make up any shortfalls.
The face amount of the Reserve LC will be reinstated to the Reserve Amount Cap,
and all amounts due on the Reserve LC will be paid, in each case from funds
deposited in the Collection Account to the extent funds are available therefor
in accordance with Section 3.03(a).
(d) The Trustee, for the express benefit of the Certificateholders and
Telefonica del Peru, is hereby authorized and directed to establish as part of
the Trust Estate with the Trustee's Cayman Islands branch a non-interest bearing
segregated Eligible Account designated as the Telefonica del Peru Coverage
Shortfall, ABA #000000000, GLA #111-565, for further credit to: A/C 356368 (the
"Coverage Shortfall Account"). If the sum of (i) the amount of Collections in
respect of Purchased Receivables deposited in the Collection Account during any
Collection Period plus (ii) the balance on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve
Account at the close of business on the Determination Date (as defined below)
(provided, however, that for purposes of this calculation, the portion of any
such balance in the Debt Service Reserve Account in excess of 110% of the Base
Receivables Amount for such Collection Period shall not be taken into account)
shall be less than 2.1 times the Base Receivables Amount for such Collection
Period (the extent to which such Collections fall below such multiple of the
Base Receivables Amount being the "Coverage Shortfall Amount"), as determined by
the Trustee on the fifth (5th) Business Day before the end of such Collection
Period (such date of determination with respect to a Collection Period, the
"Determination Date"; provided that the Determination Date for the Collection
Period ending December 14, 2001 shall be December 00, 0000), Xxxxxxxxxx xxx Xxxx
may, before the end of such Collection Period, deposit the Coverage Shortfall
Amount in the Coverage Shortfall Account to prevent the occurrence of Specified
Event; provided that Telefonica del Peru shall not be permitted to deposit the
Coverage Shortfall Amount to prevent such a Specified Event if it has so
deposited Coverage Shortfall Amounts in the Coverage Shortfall Account for each
of the two Collection Periods immediately preceding such Collection Period.
If the coverage test set forth above shall have been satisfied solely as a
result of Collections received from Designated Carriers plus the balance on
deposit in the Debt Service Reserve
26
Account at the close of business on the Determination Date for two consecutive
Collection Periods following the deposit of a Coverage Shortfall Amount, the
amounts in the Coverage Shortfall Account shall be released to Telefonica del
Peru.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified Event, the
Trustee will be required to deposit all amounts on deposit in the Coverage
Shortfall Account and the Debt Service Reserve Account (and, in addition, in the
case of a Specified Event under Section 4.01(i)(a), all amounts on deposit in
the Reserve Account) into the Collection Account and transfer all funds in the
Collection Account into the Certificate Account for distribution to the
Certificateholders.
(e) The Collection Account, the Certificate Account, the Reserve Account,
the Debt Service Reserve Account and the Coverage Shortfall Account shall each
be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee.
(f) Except upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Specified
Event, (i) the Trust, for the benefit of the holder of the Transferor
Certificate, shall have the right to receive all investment earnings on Eligible
Investments held in the Collection Account, the Certificate Account, the Reserve
Account, the Debt Service Reserve Account and the Coverage Shortfall Account
during any Collection Period and (ii) the amount of any loss incurred in respect
of such investments shall be reimbursed to the Trust Estate by deposit by
Telefonica del Peru in the applicable account immediately following notification
of such loss. In accordance with Section 3.05(b), the Trustee shall remit such
earnings to or at the direction of Telefonica del Peru on the first Business Day
following each Payment Date.
(g) (i) The Trustee, for the express benefit of the Certificateholders, is
hereby authorized and directed to establish as part of the Trust Estate with the
Trustee's Cayman Islands branch a non-interest bearing segregated Eligible
Account designated as the Telefonica del Peru Debt Service Reserve Account, ABA
#000000000, GLA #111-565, for further credit to: A/C 356405 (the "Debt Service
Reserve Account"). Immediately following the execution of this Agreement, the
Debt Service Reserve Account shall be funded by Telefonica del Peru with cash
equal to 110% of the Base Receivables Amount due on the next succeeding Payment
Date of December 15, 2001. The Debt Service Reserve Account will thereafter be
maintained by the Trustee at a balance equal to 110% of the Base Receivables
Amount due on the next succeeding Payment Date and will be held as collateral by
the Trustee in favor of the Certificateholders until the Certificates are fully
repaid. Provided that no Specified Event has occurred and is continuing, and
unless the Trustee is notified pursuant to subsection (ii) below, if on any
Payment Date the balance then on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account
exceeds 110% of the Base Receivables Amount due on the next succeeding Payment
Date, the Trustee shall, on such Payment Date, be required to pay promptly such
excess to Telefonica del Peru as the holder of the Transferor Certificate. If at
any time the balance then on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account is less
than 110% of the Base Receivables Amount due on the next succeeding Payment
Date, the Company shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days
after notice from the Trustee of the occurrence of such deficiency, deposit into
the Debt Service Reserve Account the amount of such deficiency, in accordance
with Section 3.03 hereof.
27
(ii) If Telefonica del Peru notifies the Trustee in writing during a
Collection Period to maintain the balance in the Debt Service Reserve Account,
the Trustee will not pay any excess on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve
Account to Telefonica del Peru on the next succeeding Payment Date.
SECTION 3.03. Application of Collections. (a) Immediately following any
deposit of funds into the Collection Account on any day during a Collection
Period, the Trustee shall apply such funds in the following order of priority:
First, unless clause Second below shall apply in respect of a Specified
Event that has occurred and is continuing:
(1) for deposit into the Certificate Account, until the sum of
the funds then on deposit in the Certificate Account shall be
equal to the Semiannual Payment Amount for the next succeeding
Payment Date;
(2) after giving effect to subclause (1) of this clause First,
(A) for deposit into the Reserve Account, an amount equal to the
excess, if any, of (i) the Reserve Amount Cap as calculated for
the next succeeding Payment Date over (ii) the amount then on
deposit on the Reserve Account or (B) if a Reserve LC is then
outstanding due to an election of Telefonica del Peru to utilize
a Reserve LC pursuant to Section 3.02(c), for payment to the
Qualified LC Reserve Bank, an amount, if any, necessary to
reinstate the face amount of the Reserve LC to the Reserve
Amount Cap, as calculated for the next succeeding Payment Date;
(3) for deposit into the Debt Service Reserve Account, an amount
equal to the excess, if any, of (i) 110% of the Base Receivables
Amount due on the next succeeding Payment Date over (ii) the
balance then on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account; and
(4) after giving effect to subclause (3) of this clause First,
for payment to, or at the direction of, the holder of the
Transferor Certificate; and
Second, if (x) an Authorized Officer of the Trustee shall have actual
knowledge or (y) the Trustee shall have received written
notification in accordance with Section 4.02 and shall have
determined that a Specified Event shall have occurred and be
continuing, for deposit into the Certificate Account until the
first to occur of (i) the effectiveness of the cure or
termination of such Specified Event as set forth in Section
4.02(c) hereof (and, in the case of a Specified Event described
in Section 4.01(a) herein, such Specified Event shall not be
deemed to have been cured or terminated until the Trustee has
received an Officer's Certificate from Telefonica del Peru
setting forth information concerning Collections in respect of
the Purchased Receivables in reasonable detail and confirming
that such Specified Event was no longer
28
continuing at the close of the immediately preceding Collection
Period) and (ii) the reduction of the Certificate Balance of the
Certificates to zero.
(b) Until such time as the Certificate Balance shall be reduced to zero, on
each Payment Date, the Trustee shall, in the following order of priority, to the
extent funds are available therefor:
First, withdraw from the Certificate Account an amount equal to the
Certificate Interest for such Payment Date, and distribute such
funds to the Certificateholders;
Second, unless clause Third below shall apply in respect of a Specified
Event that has occurred and is continuing:
(1) after giving effect to clause First above, withdraw from the
Certificate Account an amount equal to the Amortization Amount
for such Payment Date, and distribute such funds to the
Certificateholders;
(2) after giving effect to subclause (1) of this clause Second,
withdraw from the Certificate Account unpaid Additional Amounts
(if any) due to Certificateholders and distribute such funds to
the Certificateholders (provided that such Additional Amounts
have not been paid directly to Peruvian taxing authorities); and
(3) after giving effect to subclause (2) of this clause Second,
withdraw from the Certificate Account the aggregate amount of
any and all unpaid Collection Shortfall Amounts from all
preceding Payment Dates and distribute such funds to the
Certificateholders; and
Third, if (x) an Authorized Officer of the Trustee shall have actual
knowledge or (y) the Trustee shall have received written
notification in accordance with Section 4.02 and shall have
determined that a Specified Event shall have occurred and be
continuing, after giving effect to clause First above, and until
the effectiveness of the cure or termination of such Specified
Event as set forth in Section 4.02(c) hereof, withdraw from the
Certificate Account an amount equal to the lesser of (i) such
amount as is necessary to reduce the Certificate Balance of the
Certificates to zero and (ii) the funds remaining in the
Certificate Account for such Payment Date, and distribute such
funds to the Certificateholders.
All payments shall be distributed by the Paying Agent on behalf of the Trustee
to the Certificateholders without priority of one over the other, on the basis
of each such Certificateholder's Proportionate Share, except that Additional
Amounts shall only be paid to Certificateholders entitled thereto.
29
(c) Upon the occurrence of a Specified Event and continuing until the
effectiveness of the cure or termination thereof as set forth in Section 4.02(c)
hereof, the Trustee shall deposit all amounts on deposit in the Coverage
Shortfall Account and the Debt Service Reserve Account into the Collection
Account; provided that for the period beginning at the time the Trustee deposits
such amounts then on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account into the
Collection Account as set forth above and continuing until the earlier of (i)
the end of the Collection Period during which such Specified Event occurred and
(ii) the cure or termination of such Specified Event, the Trustee shall not
deposit or transfer into the Collection Account any additional amounts deposited
by Telefonica del Peru in the Debt Service Reserve Account during such period.
Upon the occurrence of a Specified Event under subparagraph (i)(a) of Section
4.01 and continuing until the effectiveness of the cure or termination thereof
as set forth in Section 4.02(c) hereof, the Trustee shall deposit all amounts on
deposit in the Reserve Account into the Collection Account.
(d) The Trustee shall, to the extent it is required to do so by law, deduct
or withhold income or other similar taxes imposed under U.S. tax law (including
applicable treaty provisions) ("U.S. Taxes") on a Certificateholder or on any
payments hereunder to any Certificateholder; provided, however, that prior to
deducting or withholding any amounts from any Certificateholder the Trustee
agrees to provide notice to any such Certificateholder stating that it is
subject to such deductions or withholding, and provided, further, that any such
amount so withheld shall be deemed to have been paid to the Certificateholder in
lieu and to the extent of amounts required to be distributed to such
Certificateholder under the terms of this Agreement. If within the time period
set forth in such notice (which shall not be less than ten Business Days) any
Certificateholder shall not have provided the Trustee with a certificate
required under U.S. tax law (including applicable treaty provisions) to
establish an exemption from or reduction in any applicable U.S. withholding tax,
the Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to withhold the full amount of
U.S. Taxes required to be withheld from any payment to such Certificateholder in
respect of any Certificate held by such Certificateholder. The Trustee may, and
at the request of Telefonica del Peru will, request properly completed IRS forms
W-8 or W-9, as appropriate, or any successor forms from each Certificateholder
as a condition to making payments to such Certificateholder in respect of such
Certificate without deduction for U.S. backup withholding tax. In the event that
any U.S. Taxes imposed on, or creditable against Taxes imposed on, a
Certificateholder, or Persons holding an interest in the Certificates through a
Certificateholder (including without limitation Taxes imposed under sections
1441, 1442 and 1446 of the Code and any comparable Taxes imposed by a state or
local taxing authority but excluding any Taxes imposed on a Certificateholder
that Telefonica del Peru is obligated to pay or indemnify against pursuant to
Sections 9.05 and 9.07 hereof) are paid by, or collected from, the Trust Estate,
the Trust, the Trustee or Telefonica del Peru (other than by means of
withholding from distributions as described above in this Section 3.03 (such
payment a "Tax Advance"), such Tax Advance shall (i) be repaid by reducing the
amount which would otherwise have been distributed to such Certificateholder
pursuant to this Section 3.03 or (ii) be promptly repaid to the Trustee by such
Certificateholder. If such Tax Advance is repaid in the manner described in
clause (i) of the preceding sentence, for all other purposes of this Agreement,
such Certificateholder shall be treated as if it had received all payments
payable pursuant to Section 3.03 unreduced by the amount of such Tax Advance. To
the extent that any Tax Advance (or portion thereof) shall have been collected
from Telefonica del Peru, any amounts paid by the Certificateholder to the
Trustee or retained by the Trustee pursuant to this paragraph in respect of
30
such Tax Advance shall be paid by the Trustee to Telefonica del Peru, less any
outstanding amounts payable by Telefonica del Peru under this Agreement,
provided that all amounts paid to or retained by the Trustee with respect to
such outstanding amounts are paid over promptly to the Person to whom they are
owed, and provided further, that the Trustee shall not be obligated to repay any
such Tax Advance unless and until an Authorized Officer of the Trustee has
actual knowledge that such a Tax Advance has been made or the Trustee has
received written notice of any such Tax Advance.
(e) Upon the making of any distribution to Certificateholders in respect of
the Certificates, the Trustee shall reflect in the Register maintained for the
Certificates the effect of such distribution on (i) the Adjusted Face Amount of
each Certificate shown on such Register and (ii) the Certificate Balance and any
Collection Shortfall Amount in respect of all Certificates shown on such
Register.
SECTION 3.04. Payments to the Trust. Until further notice by the Trustee,
all payments to the Trust shall be made by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to The Bank of New York, for the account of Telefonica del Peru
Collection Account, ABA #000000000, GLA #111-565, for further credit to: A/C
356365 or to such other account as the Trustee shall designate in writing.
SECTION 3.05. Investment of Funds. (a) Subject to clause Second of Section
3.03(a) and to Section 3.03(c), available monies which remain in the Collection
Account on any day after the allocation set forth in subclause (1), (2) and (3)
of Clause First of Section 3.03(a) above shall be invested by the Trustee, at
the direction of Telefonica del Peru, in investments of the type set forth in
the definition of "Eligible Investments" that mature on the next Business Day.
All such investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee and, provided that
no Specified Event has occurred and is continuing, the resulting earnings, gains
and losses shall be credited to, or charged against, amounts on deposit in the
Collection Account for the benefit of the holder of the Transferor Certificate.
(b) Subject to clause Third of Section 3.03(b) and to Section 3.03(c),
available monies which are on deposit in the Certificate Account, Reserve
Account, Debt Service Reserve Account or Coverage Shortfall Account at the close
of any Business Day shall be invested by the Trustee based on written
instructions from an Authorized Officer of Telefonica del Peru in Eligible
Investments (or in the absence of any such instructions, in investments of the
type set forth in clause (a) of the definition of "Eligible Investments")
maturing on or before the date on which such amounts will be required to be
distributed pursuant to the terms hereof. All such investments shall be made in
the name of the Trustee and, provided that no Specified Event has occurred and
is continuing, the resulting earnings, gains and losses shall be applied and/or
allocated to Telefonica del Peru and shall be paid to Telefonica del Peru on the
first Business Day following each Payment Date.
(c) It is understood that available monies may remain temporarily
uninvested to the extent that the Trustee is instructed by Telefonica del Peru
to purchase Eligible Investments which are unavailable because: (i) the deadline
for purchasing such Eligible Investments on any Business Day is prior to the
time the monies to be invested are available or (ii) such Eligible Investments
are
31
available only in specific denominations and the available monies to be invested
are not evenly divisible into such denominations.
(d) The Eligible Investments will be acquired or disposed of only if this
will not result in a downgrading in the rating of the Certificates and such
acquisition or disposition is not for the primary purpose of recognizing gains
or decreasing losses resulting from market value changes.
SECTION 3.06. Distribution of Redemption Price. Upon payment of the
Redemption Price (or any amount in respect thereof) by Telefonica del Peru to
the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, the Trustee shall not deposit such
Redemption Price in the Collection Account or the Certificate Account or in any
other account referred to in Section 3.02 but shall promptly instruct the Paying
Agent to distribute to the Certificateholders, without priority of one over the
other, their respective Proportionate Shares of the Redemption Price.

Section 5.06, and (ii) receipt by each Designated Carrier of a notice to make
all payments in respect of the Purchased Receivables to a designated account of

39
conduct business in the State of New York) by the Required Percentage of
Certificateholders or Telefonica del Peru pursuant to a written notice delivered
to the Trustee, each Designated Carrier, each Rating Agency, Telefonica del Peru
and all of the Certificateholders not less than thirty (30) days prior to the
date of removal. The Trustee may be removed at any time without cause by a

less than $100,000,000 and a rating on its long-term unsecured debt obligations
of not less than "X-", "X-" xx "X0" by Standard & Poor's, Fitch and Xxxxx'x,
respectively (provided that, if such successor trustee is not rated by Standard
& Poor's, Fitch or Xxxxx'x and is 100% owned by a parent corporation which is so
rated, such parent corporation shall have a rating of not less than "A-", "A-"
or "A3", respectively) and subject to regulations regarding fiduciary funds on
deposit substantially similar to 12 C.F.R. 9.10(b), if there be such an
institution willing, qualified and able to accept the trust upon reasonable and
customary terms. Until a successor trustee has been appointed to act as Trustee
hereunder, no such resignation or removal shall be effective, and the Trustee
shall continue to perform its duties hereunder.
SECTION 5.06. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee. Any successor
Trustee appointed as provided in Section 5.05 hereof, prior to or upon such
appointment, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor Trustee,
each Designated Carrier, the Certificateholders and Telefonica del Peru an
instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and, with respect to each
Designated Carrier, a notice to make all payments in respect of the Purchased
Receivables to a designated account of the successor Trustee, and upon receipt
by the Trustee of such instrument and receipt by each Designated Carrier of such
notice, the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become
effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally
named as Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the
Required Percentage of Certificateholders or the written request of the
successor Trustee, the predecessor Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and
deliver, without representation or warranty (express or implied) or recourse, an
instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights and powers of
the predecessor Trustee so
40
ceasing to act. Upon the written request of any such successor Trustee, the
Certificateholders shall execute any and all instruments necessary for more
fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such
rights and powers.
SECTION 5.07. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any corporation into
which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party shall be the successor of
the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any Person, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided, however, that in the event such successor shall fail
to be qualified under the provisions of the fourth sentence of Section 5.05(c)
hereof such successor may be removed for cause in accordance with the first
sentence of Section 5.05(b) hereof.
SECTION 5.08. Certain Procedural Matters. (a) The Trustee, in its own name
and as trustee of an express trust, shall, upon receipt of a Written Direction,
be entitled to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity for the
collection of any amounts due and unpaid by Telefonica del Peru, any Designated
Carrier or any other Person against whom the Trustee or the Trust shall have a
claim. Such Written Direction shall describe in reasonable detail the claims
relating to the Certificates and shall specify the amount and the Person against
whom the Trustee on behalf of the Certificates has a claim. The Trustee, upon
receipt of indemnification reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, shall, unless
otherwise instructed pursuant to a Written Direction, prosecute any such action
or proceeding to judgment or final decree (or with the consent of the Required
Percentage of Certificateholders settle such action or proceeding), enforce any
such judgment or final decree against any such defendant and collect in the
manner provided by law the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.
(b) In case a Specified Event shall occur and be continuing with respect to

Written Direction will, subject to the provisions of Section 5.03(a) and Article
VI hereof, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the

equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific performance of any
covenant or agreement contained in any Transaction Document, or in aid of the
execution of any power granted in any Transaction Document, or for the
enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy, as the Trustee, being
advised by counsel, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the

00
Xxxxxxxxxx xxx Xxxx or any Designated Carrier or in the case of any other
judicial proceedings relative to Telefonica del Peru or any Designated Carrier,
or relative to the creditors or property of Telefonica del Peru or any

declaration pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.08, shall be entitled
and empowered by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and
prove a claim or claims for the amount of any payment due by such Person to the
Trust Estate, and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and its agents, attorneys

Certificateholders, allowed in such proceedings and to collect and receive any
moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to
distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee on their behalf; and any receiver, assignee,
trustee or custodian in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by
each of the Certificateholders to make payments to the Trustee, and, in the
event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the
Certificateholders, to pay to the Trustee such amount as shall be sufficient to
cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys and for
all advances made by the Trustee, except those incurred as a result of the
Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Trustee agrees that,
to the extent it is entitled to do so, it will as part of the same proceeding,
seek reimbursement for any such fees and expenses from the other parties in
interest in such proceeding or any other Person who is contractually obligated
to reimburse the Trustee for such amounts; provided, however, that any failure
to do so shall not affect the availability of any indemnity previously offered
by the Certificateholders in respect of such action. All amounts received by the
Trustee on account of any action or proceeding hereunder shall be paid (i) first
to the Trustee to reimburse the Trustee for any and all reasonable and
documented fees and expenses (including, but not limited to reasonable
attorneys' fees) incurred by the Trustee in prosecuting or enforcing any such
action or proceeding or in collecting on any judgment in connection therewith
and (ii) second, to the Certificateholders, each according to its proportionate
share of such amounts as are determined in such action or proceeding.

Section 5.08 in respect of any Certificates, and the proceeds of any judgment
received or collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Section in respect of the

Trustee as part of the portion of the Trust Estate under any of the provisions
hereof, shall be distributed by the Trustee as provided in this Agreement.
SECTION 5.09. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. (a)
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power
and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more persons to
act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of
all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such
capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust,
or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of
42
this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee
may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder
shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under
Section 5.05 hereof unless, for any reason, such co-trustee or separate trustee
will be holding or maintaining any of the Trust Accounts. The addition of
co-trustee or separate trustee shall not result in additional expenses or fees
to Telefonica del Peru or the Trust, unless a Specified Event shall have
occurred and is continuing and until the termination or cure of such Specified
Event.
(b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon
the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the
Trustee or, if necessary, by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not
authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to
the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or
acts are to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to
perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof
in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such
separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act
or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(iii) the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any
separate trustee or co-trustee.
(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Section. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of
the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in
its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as
may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee.
(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the
Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
SECTION 5.10. Appointment of Paying Agent. (a) Unless otherwise specified
herein, the Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from
the applicable Certificate
43
Account for the purpose of making distributions to the Certificateholders. The
Trustee (or Telefonica del Peru if the Trustee is the Paying Agent) may revoke
such power and remove the Paying Agent, if the Trustee (or Telefonica del Peru
if the Trustee is the Paying Agent) determines in its sole discretion that the
Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement
in any material respect or for other good cause. The Trustee, or Telefonica del
Peru if the Trustee is the Paying Agent, shall notify each Rating Agency of the
removal of any Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Trustee's
New York office. The Trustee shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent with
respect to any or all Certificates in the same manner in which it is permitted
to resign as Trustee under Section 5.05(a). In the event that the Trustee shall
no longer be the Paying Agent with respect to the Certificates, the Trustee
shall appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent, which shall be a bank or trust
company having (x) a capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and (y) an
investment grade rating from each of the Rating Agencies.
(b) The Trustee shall cause each Paying Agent (other than itself) to
execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent
shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any,
held by it for payment to Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such
Certificateholders and shall agree, and if the Trustee is the Paying Agent it
hereby agrees, that it shall comply with all requirements of the Code regarding
the withholding of payments in respect of federal income taxes due from
Certificateholders.

SECTION 9.07. Taxes. (a) Telefonica del Peru hereby agrees
(i) to assume, pay and discharge, when and as due and payable, any and
all Taxes under Peruvian law ("Peruvian Taxes") that may be imposed on,
incurred by, or asserted against any of the Trustee, the Trust or the
Certificateholders in connection with, relating to or measured by any
amounts paid or to be paid by any Designated Carrier, the Trustee or
Telefonica del Peru in respect of the Purchased Receivables or Certificate
Interest on the Certificates pursuant to the terms of the Transaction
Documents (including income of the Trust Estate on such amounts), or
otherwise in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents; and if any such Peruvian Taxes are paid by any of
the Trustee, the Trust for the benefit of Certificateholders or the
Certificateholders, upon request promptly to reimburse such Person paying
such Peruvian Taxes in an amount that, after deducting any Peruvian Taxes
imposed thereon, shall be equal to the amount of such Taxes paid by such
Person; neither the Trustee nor Telefonica del Peru shall be required to
pay any Peruvian Taxes imposed solely by reason of (A) a present or past
connection between such Certificateholder and the jurisdiction imposing
such Taxes (except a connection arising solely from the ownership of the
Certificates, the receipt of payments under the Trust Agreement or the
Certificates, or the exercise or enforcement of rights under the
Certificates or the Trust Agreement) or (B) a failure of the
63
Certificateholder to provide, within 60 days of written request of the
Trust, any certification, identification, documentation or other
requirements of the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes where such compliance
is required to establish entitlement to a reduced rate of or exemption from
such Taxes. Such Peruvian Taxes, with the exclusions set forth in
sub-clauses (A) and (B) of clause (i) of this Section 9.07(a), are referred
to as "Additional Amounts".
(b) In the event that Telefonica del Peru is required to pay any Peruvian
Taxes pursuant to this Section 9.07, Telefonica del Peru shall promptly deliver
to the Trustee receipts for payment of such Peruvian Taxes. All such receipts
shall be originals, duplicate originals or duly certified or authenticated
copies.
(c) In no event shall any Certificateholder be required to submit any of
its Tax returns or any part thereof to Telefonica del Peru or any other Person
or, subject to this Section 9.07 hereof, to prepare its tax return other than as
such Certificateholder in its sole discretion shall determine.

forth under Amortization Amount corresponding to such Payment Date on Schedule
1.
(b) Upon receipt of the Redemption Price, the Trustee shall, at Telefonica

direction of Telefonica del Peru the Certificates subject to any redemption of
the Certificates in whole made pursuant to Section 11.01(a) hereof.
65
SECTION 11.02. Optional Redemption for Tax Reasons. (a) If, at any time
after the Closing Date, due to any change in the laws, rules or regulations (or
in the official interpretation or application thereof) affecting Peruvian
taxation, Telefonica del Peru is or will become obligated to pay any Additional
Amounts in excess of those attributed to the Peruvian withholding tax of 1%
imposed on interest payments to Certificateholders not domiciled in Peru (the
amount of any such excess the "Excess Tax Amount"), and such obligation cannot
be avoided by Telefonica del Peru taking reasonable measures available to it,
then Telefonica del Peru will have the right, to direct the Trustee to redeem
the Certificates in whole (or in part, if Telefonica del Peru would be obligated
to pay Excess Tax Amounts aggregating at least $1,000,000 per annum) at the
Redemption Price in respect of the principal amount of Certificates so redeemed.
Any partial redemption shall be made pro rata among all Certificates.
(b) Upon receipt of the Redemption Price, the Trustee shall, at Telefonica
del Peru's expense, execute such documents and take such other steps as
Telefonica del Peru may reasonably request to convey back promptly to or at the

the Certificates in whole made pursuant to Section 11.02(a) hereof.
SECTION 11.03. Notice of Redemption. Telefonica del Peru shall give the
Trustee (who shall promptly notify the Certificateholders) prior written notice
of any redemption to be made under Section 11.01 or 11.02 specifying the
redemption date (the "Redemption Date") for the Certificates, which date shall
be not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after delivery of such

redemption in the manner provided in Section 12.04. Notice of the redemption
having been given as aforesaid, the Redemption Price shall become due and
payable on the Redemption Date.
SECTION 11.04. Investment Grade Option. (a) If (i) the rating by one or
more Rating Agencies of the Certificates is below "investment grade" (i.e.,
below BBB- in the case of Standard & Poor's and Fitch or below Baa3 in the case
of Moody's) for 180 consecutive days and (ii) the corresponding downgrading was
principally because of a material decrease in the amount of Collections or the
performance of the Purchased Receivables, then, upon written notice to the
Trustee by Certificateholders representing at least 15% of the Certificate
Balance as of the date of such notice (the "Put Percentage"), the Trust shall
offer to purchase any and all outstanding Certificates for the Put Price. Such
written notice to the Trustee shall specify the proposed redemption date of
Certificates (the "Ratings Redemption Date"), which date shall not be less than
five (5) Business Days after delivery of such notice to the Trustee.
(b) The Trustee shall promptly notify Telefonica del Peru and the
Certificateholders of such offer in the manner provided in Section 12.04. Notice
of such offer having been given as aforesaid, the Put Price shall become due and
payable on the Ratings Redemption Date. Upon notice by the Trustee, Telefonica
del Peru shall pay to the Trustee an amount equal to the aggregate Put Price
with respect to all Certificates that Certificateholders have requested be
redeemed. Upon receipt of the aggregate Put Price, the Trustee shall, at
Telefonica del Peru's expense, (i) execute such documents and take such other
steps as Telefonica del Peru may reasonably request to convey back promptly to

the Certificateholders the aggregate Put Price in accordance with and
66

deliver to the Certificateholders any and all instruments necessary to evidence
and effect such distribution.
(c) If Telefonica del Peru shall not pay the Put Price to the Trustee
as required under the Section 11.04(a), the Trustee, at the written direction of
the Put Percentage of Certificateholders, may proceed to enforce and protect the
rights of the Certificateholders by an action at law, suit in equity or other
appropriate proceeding. Telefonica del Peru shall pay to the Trustee such amount
in addition to the Put Price as shall be sufficient to cover the reasonable and
documented cost and expenses of instituting such action, suit or proceeding,
including without limitation, attorneys' fees, expenses and disbursements. No
course of dealing and no delay on the part of the Trustee or the
Certificateholders in enforcing the rights of the Certificateholders under this
Section 11.04 shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice their
rights, powers or remedies under this Section 11.04. The Certificateholders'
right to the Put Price shall not be exclusive of any other right, power or
remedy referred to herein or now or hereinafter available at law, in equity, by
statute or otherwise.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Telefonica del Peru may
exercise its rights to redeem the Certificates pursuant to Section 11.01 if it
is otherwise permitted to do so pursuant thereto. Furthermore, the exercise of
the put option by the Certificateholders in accordance with this Section shall
under no circumstances be deemed to constitute a breach or default by Telefonica
del Peru or the acceleration of the Certificates under this Agreement.

This Rule 144A Global Certificate is one of an authorized issue of
7.48% International Settlements Backed Trust Certificates due 2008 (the
"Certificates") having an aggregate Original Face Amount of $150,000,000.
Reference is made to the Trust Agreement (copies of which are on file with the

Estate in which such Certificateholder has an interest and applicable to such

Certificateholders then outstanding. Any such consent by the Certificateholders
shall, subject to the terms of the Trust Agreement, be conclusive and binding on
such Certificateholders and upon all future Certificateholders of this Rule 144A

restrictions on transfer contained in the Trust Agreement.
This Definitive Certificate may not be divided into denominations of
less than $250,000 in original face amount. Prior to registration of transfer,
the Trustee shall deem and treat the Person in whose name this Definitive
Certificate is registered on the Register as the absolute owner hereof for all

Certificateholder for such payment.
The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided,
the amendment thereof with the consent of the Required Percentage of
Certificateholders then outstanding. Any such consent by the Certificateholder
shall, subject to the terms of the Trust Agreement, be conclusive and binding on
such Certificateholder and upon all future Certificateholders of this Definitive
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Definitive Certificate.
The Trust Agreement also provides for mandatory and voluntary
redemptions, by Telefonica del Peru, of this Definitive Certificate (including
partial voluntary redemptions to the extent set forth in the Trust Agreement),
