SECTION 2.4 Authentication and Delivery of Securities. Upon the execution and delivery of this Indenture, or from time to time thereafter, Securities, including Coupons appertaining thereto, if any, may be executed by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee for authentication together with the applicable documents referred to below in this section, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver such Securities and Coupons appertaining thereto, if any, to or upon the order of the Issuer (contained in the Company Order referred to below in this section) or pursuant to such procedures acceptable to the Trustee and to such recipients as may be specified from time to time by a Company Order, without any further action by the Issuer. The maturity date, original issue date, interest rate and any other terms of the Securities of such series and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto shall be determined by or pursuant to such Company Order or procedures authorized by such Company Order. If provided for in such procedures, such Company Order may authorize authentication and delivery of Securities pursuant to oral instructions from the Issuer or its duly authorized agent, which instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing. In authenticating such Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive (in the case of subparagraphs 2, 3 and 4 below only at or before the time of the first request of the Issuer to the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series) and (subject to
Section 6.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, unless and until such documents have been superseded or revoked:

(1) a Company Order requesting such authentication and setting forth delivery instructions if the Securities and Coupons, if any, are not to be delivered to the Issuer, provided that, with respect to Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, (a) such Company Order may be delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee prior to the delivery to the Trustee of such Securities for authentication and delivery, (b) the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Securities of such series for original issue from time to time, in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the aggregate principal amount established for such series, pursuant to a Company Order or pursuant to procedures acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified from time to time by such Company Order, (c) the maturity date or dates, original issue date or dates or interest rate or rates and any other terms of Securities of such series shall be determined by a Company Order or pursuant to such procedures and (d) if provided for in such procedures, such Company Order may authorize authentication and delivery of Securities pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Issuer or its duly authorized agent or agents, which oral or electronic instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing, and
(e) after the original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued, any separate request by the Issuer that the Trustee authenticate Securities of such series for original issuance will be deemed to be a certification by the Issuer that it is in compliance with all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the authentication and delivery of such Securities;

(2) any Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate and/or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 2.1 and 2.3 by or pursuant to which the forms and terms of the Securities and Coupons, if any, were established;

(3) an Officers' Certificate setting forth the form or forms and terms of the Securities and stating that the form or forms and terms of the Securities and Coupons, if any, have been established pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.3 and comply with this Indenture, and covering such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request; and

(4) At the option of the Issuer, either an Opinion of Counsel of the Issuer, or a letter addressed to the Trustee permitting it to rely on an Opinion of Counsel of the Issuer, substantially to the effect that:

(a) the forms of the Securities and Coupons, if any, have been duly authorized and established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

(b) in the case of an underwritten offering, the terms of the Securities have been duly authorized and established in con- formity with the provisions of this Indenture, and, in the case of a Periodic Offering, certain terms of the Securities have been established pursuant to a Board Resolution of the Issuer, an Officers' Certificate or a supplemental indenture in accordance with this Indenture, and when such other terms as are to be established pursuant to procedures set forth in a Company Order shall have been established, all such terms will have been duly authorized by the Issuer and will have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

(c) when the Securities and Coupons, if any, have been executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and delivered to and duly paid for by the purchasers thereof, they will have been duly issued under this Indenture and will be valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, and will be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture; and

(d) the execution and delivery by the Issuer of, and the performance by the Issuer of its obligations under the Securities and the Coupons, if any, will not contravene any provision of applicable law or the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer or any agreement or other instrument binding upon the Issuer or any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer that is material to the Issuer, considered as one enterprise with its subsidiaries, or, to the best of such counsel's knowledge but without independent investigation, any judgment, order or decree of any governmental body, agency or court having jurisdiction over the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, and no consent, approval or authorization of any governmental body or agency is required for the performance by the Issuer of its obligations under the Securities and Coupons, if any, except such as are specified and have been obtained and such as may be required by the securities or blue sky laws of the various states in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities and Coupons, if any.

In rendering such opinions, such counsel may qualify any opinions as to enforceability by stating that such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, liquidation, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Such counsel may rely upon opinions of other counsel (copies of which shall be delivered to the Trustee), who shall be counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, in which case the opinion shall state that such counsel believes he and the Trustee are entitled so to rely. Such counsel may also state that, insofar as such opinion involves factual matters, he has relied, to the extent he deems proper, upon certificates of officers of the Issuer and any of its subsidiaries and certificates of public officials.

The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken by the Issuer or if the Trustee in good faith by its Board of Directors or board of trustees, executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees or Responsible Officers shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders or would affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities, this Indenture or otherwise.

If the Issuer shall establish pursuant to Section 2.3 that all or a portion of the Securities of a series are to be issued in the form of one or more Registered Global Securities, then the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section 2.4 and the Company Order with respect to such series, authenticate and deliver one or more Registered Global Securities that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all or a portion of the Securities of such series issued and not yet cancelled or exchanged to be represented by such Registered Global Securities, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Registered Global Security or Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or a custodian therefor or pursuant to such Depositary's instructions and
(iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: "This Security is a Registered Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of a Depositary or a nominee thereof. This Security may not be exchanged in whole or in part for a Security registered, and no transfer of this Security in whole or in part may be registered in the name of any Person other than such Depositary or a nominee thereof, except in the limited circumstances described in the Indenture."

SECTION 2.5 Execution of Securities. The Securities and, if applicable, each Coupon appertaining thereto shall be signed on behalf of the Issuer by the chairman of the Board of Directors, the president, any vice president (whether or not designated by a number or numbers or a word or words added before or after the title "Vice President") or the Treasurer of the Issuer, under its corporate seal (except in the case of Coupons) which may, but need not be, attested. Such signature may be the manual or facsimile signature of the present or any future such chairman or officers. The corporate seal of the Issuer may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities. Typographical and other minor errors or defects in any such reproduction of any such signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Security that has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

In case any officer of the Issuer who shall have signed any of the Securities or Coupons, if any, shall cease to be such officer before the Security or Coupon so signed shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Issuer, such Security or Coupon nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed such Security or Coupon had not ceased to be such officer of the Issuer; and any Security or Coupon may be signed on behalf of the Issuer by such Person as, at the actual date of the execution of such Security or Coupon, shall be the proper officer of the Issuer, although at the date of the execution and delivery of this Indenture any such Person was not such officer.

SECTION 2.6 Certificate of Authentication. Only such Securities as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Section 2.2, executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee upon any Security executed by the Issuer shall be conclusive evidence that the Security and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto so authenticated have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

SECTION 2.7 Denomination and Date of Securities; Payments of Interest. The Securities of each series shall be issuable as Registered Securities or Unregistered Securities in denominations established as contemplated by Section 2.3 or, with respect to the Registered Securities of any series, if not so established, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. If denominations of Unregistered Securities of any series are not so established, such Securities shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and $5,000. The Securities of each series shall be numbered, lettered or otherwise distinguished in such manner or in accordance with such plan as the chairman or the officers of the Issuer executing the same may determine with the approval of the Trustee, as evidenced by the execution and authentication thereof.

Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. Each Unregistered Security shall be dated as provided in or pursuant to the Board Resolution or Resolutions or indenture supplemental hereto referred to in Section 2.3 or, if not so specified, each such Unregistered Security shall be dated as of the date of issuance of the first Unregistered Security of such series to be issued. The Securities of each series shall bear interest, if any, from the date, and such interest shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates, established as contemplated by Section 2.3.

The Person in whose name any Registered Security of any series is registered at the close of business on any Regular Record Date applicable to such series with respect to any Interest Payment Date for such series shall be entitled to receive the interest, if any, payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Registered Security subsequent to such Regular Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, except if and to the extent the Issuer shall default in the payment of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date for such series, in which case such defaulted interest shall then cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder and shall be paid to the Persons in whose names Outstanding Registered Securities for such series are registered at the close of business on a subsequent record date (which shall be not less than five Business Days prior to the date of payment of such defaulted interest) established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Issuer to the Holders of Registered Securities not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent record date. Interest on any Unregistered Securities which is due on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Holder of the applicable Coupon appertaining to such Unregistered Security.

SECTION 2.8 Registration, Transfer and Exchange. The Issuer will cause to be kept at each office or agency to be maintained for the purpose as provided in Section 3.2 for each series of Securities a register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it will provide for the registration of Registered Securities of each series and the registration of transfer of Registered Securities of such series. Such register shall be in written form in the English language or in any other form capable of being converted into such form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times such register or registers shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. There may not be more than one register for each series of Securities.

Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at any such office or agency to be maintained for the purpose provided in Section 3.2, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Registered Security or Registered Securities of such series, Stated Maturity, interest rate and original issue date in any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor.

Unregistered Securities (except for any temporary global Unregistered Securities) and Coupons (except for Coupons attached to any temporary global Unregistered Securities) shall be transferable by delivery.

At the option of the Holder thereof, any Security may be exchanged for a Security of the same series, of like tenor, in authorized denominations and in an equal aggregate principal amount upon surrender of such Security at an office or agency to be maintained for such purpose in accordance with
Section 3.2 or as specified pursuant to Section 2.3, and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, the Security or Securities which the Holder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive bearing a number or other distinguishing symbol not contemporaneously outstanding. Subject to the foregoing, (i) a Registered Security of any series (other than a Registered Global Security, except as set forth below) may be exchanged for a Registered Security or Securities of the same series; (ii) if the Securities of any series are issued in both registered and unregistered form, except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.3, Unregistered Securities may be exchanged for a Registered Security or Securities of the same series, but a Registered Security may not be exchanged for an Unregistered Security or Securities; and (iii) if Unregistered Securities of any series are issued in more than one authorized denomination, except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.3, any such Unregistered Security or Securities may be exchanged for an Unregistered Security or Securities of the same series; provided that in connection with the surrender of any Unregistered Securities that have Coupons attached, all unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupons in default must be surrendered with the Securities being exchanged. If the Holder of an Unregistered Security is unable to produce any such unmatured Coupon or Coupons or matured Coupon or Coupons in default, such exchange may be effected if the Unregistered Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Issuer in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing Coupon or Coupons, or the surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Issuer and the Trustee if there is furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any paying agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to any paying agent any such missing Coupon in respect of which such a payment shall have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive from the Issuer the amount of such payment; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.2, interest represented by Coupons shall be payable only upon the presentation and surrender of those Coupons at an office or agency located outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case an Unregistered Security of any series is surrendered at any such office or agency in exchange for a Registered Security of the same series of like tenor after the close of business at such officer agency on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any subsequent record date and the before the opening of business at such office or agency on such subsequent date for the payment of interest in default, such Unregistered Security shall be surrendered without the Coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date or subsequent date for payment, as the case may be, and interest or interest in default, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or subsequent date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Unregistered Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. All Securities and Coupons surrendered upon any exchange or transfer provided for in this Indenture shall be promptly cancelled and disposed of by the Trustee and the Trustee will deliver a certificate of disposition thereof to the Issuer.

All Registered Securities presented for registration of transfer, exchange, redemption, repurchase or payment shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee, duly executed by the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

Each Registered Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Registered Global Security or a nominee thereof, and each such Registered Global Security shall constitute a single security for all purposes of this Indenture.

The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange or registration of transfer of Securities. No service charge shall be made for any such transaction.

The Issuer shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of
(a) any Securities of any series for a period of 15 days next preceding the first mailing of notice of redemption of Securities of such series to be redeemed, (b) any Securities selected, called or being called for redemption in whole or in part, except in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not so to be redeemed, (c) any Security if the Holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Security in whole or in part, except the portion of such Security not required to be repurchased or (d) to exchange any Unregistered Security so selected for redemption, except that such Unregistered Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security of that series and like tenor, provided that such Registered Security shall be simultaneously surrendered for redemption.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.8, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive registered form, a Registered Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

If at any time the Depositary for any Registered Securities of a series represented by one or more Registered Global Securities notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Registered Securities or is no longer eligible because it ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act or any other applicable statute or regulation, the Issuer shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such Registered Securities. If a successor Depositary for such Registered Securities is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after the Issuer receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Issuer's election pursuant to Section 2.3 that such Registered Securities be represented by one or more Registered Global Securities shall no longer be effective and the Issuer will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers' Certificate of the Issuer for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive registered form without Coupons, of like tenor in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Registered Global Security or Securities representing such Registered Securities in exchange for such Registered Global Security or Securities.

The Issuer may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Registered Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more Registered Global Securities shall no longer be represented by a Registered Global Security or Securities. In such event the Issuer will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers' Certificate for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive registered form without Coupons, in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Registered Global Security or Securities representing such Registered Securities in exchange for such Registered Global Security or Securities.

If specified by the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.3 with respect to Securities represented by a Registered Global Security, the Depositary for such Registered Global Security may surrender such Registered Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of the same series in definitive registered form on such terms as are acceptable to the Issuer and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge,

(i) to the Person specified by such Depositary a new Registered Security or Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations as requested by such Person, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person's beneficial interest in the Registered Global Security; and

(ii) to such Depositary a new Registered Global Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Registered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Registered Securities authenticated and delivered pursuant to clause (i) above.

Upon the exchange of a Registered Global Security for Securities in definitive registered form without Coupons, in authorized denominations, such Registered Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee or an agent of the Issuer or the Trustee. Securities in definitive registered form without Coupons issued in exchange for a Registered Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Registered Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or an agent of the Issuer or the Trustee. The Trustee or such agent shall deliver such Securities to or as directed by the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

None of the Issuer, the Trustee, any paying agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

Notwithstanding anything herein or in the terms of any series of Securities to the contrary, none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the foregoing (any of which, other than the Issuer, shall rely on an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel) shall be required to exchange any Unregistered Security for a Registered Security if such exchange would result in adverse federal income tax consequences to the Issuer (such as, for example, the inability of the Issuer to deduct from its income, as computed for federal income tax purposes, the interest payable on the Unregistered Securities) under then applicable United States federal income tax laws.

SECTION 2.9 Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. In case any temporary or definitive Security or any Coupon appertaining to any Security shall become mutilated, defaced or be apparently destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer in its discretion may execute, and upon the written request of any officer of the Issuer, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver a new Security of the same series, of like tenor and in equal aggregate principal amount, bearing a number or other distinguishing symbol not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so apparently destroyed, lost or stolen with Coupons corresponding to the Coupons appertaining to the Securities so mutilated, defaced, destsroyed, lost or stolen, or in exchange for the Security to which a mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertained with Coupons appertaining thereto corresponding to the Coupons so mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substitute Security or Coupon shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to indemnify and defend and to save each of them harmless and, in every case of apparent destruction, loss or theft, evidence to their satisfaction of the apparent destruction, loss or theft of such Security or Coupon and of the ownership thereof. In the case of a mutilated or defaced Security or Coupon, the applicant for a substitute Security or Coupon shall surrender such mutilated or defaced Security or Coupon to the Trustee or such agent.

Upon the issuance of any substitute Security or Coupon, the Issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee or its agent) connected therewith. In case any Security or Coupon which has matured or is about to mature or has been called for redemption in full shall become mutilated or defaced or be apparently destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer may, instead of issuing a substitute Security or Coupon, pay or authorize the payment of the same or the relevant Coupon (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated or defaced Security or Coupon), if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee such security or indemnity as any of them may require to save each of them harmless from all risks, however remote, arising as a result of such payment and, in every case of apparent destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Issuer and the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the apparent destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.

Every substitute Security or Coupon of any series issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any such Security or Coupon is apparently destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the apparently destroyed, lost or stolen Security or Coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations of rights set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities or Coupons of such series duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Securities or Coupons shall be held and owned upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted by law, the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced, or apparently destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and Coupon and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

SECTION 2.10 Cancellation of Securities; Disposition Thereof. All Securities and Coupons surrendered for payment, repurchase, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, or for credit against any payment in respect of a sinking or analogous fund, if surrendered to the Issuer or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee or any agent of the Trustee, shall be delivered to the Trustee or its agent for cancellation or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it; and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee or its agent shall dispose of cancelled Securities and Coupons held by it and deliver a certificate of disposition to the Issuer unless the Issuer shall direct that cancelled Securities be returned to it. If the Issuer shall acquire any of the Securities or Coupons, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities or Coupons unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 2.11 Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities for any series, the Issuer may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Securities for such series (printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise reproduced, in each case in form satisfactory to the Trustee). Temporary Securities of any series shall be issuable as Registered Securities without Coupons, or as Unregistered Securities with or without Coupons attached thereto, of any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Securities of such series but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Issuer with the concurrence of the Trustee as evidenced by the execution and authentication thereof. Temporary Securities may contain such references to any provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Security shall be executed by the Issuer and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities. Without unreasonable delay the Issuer shall execute and shall furnish definitive Securities of such series and thereupon temporary Registered Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor without charge at each office or agency to be maintained by the Issuer for that purpose pursuant to Section 3.2 and, in the case of Unregistered Securities, at any agency maintained by the Issuer for such purpose as specified pursuant to Section 3.2, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities of such series an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series having authorized denominations and, in the case of Unregistered Securities, having attached thereto any appropriate Coupons. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series, unless otherwise established pursuant to Section 2.3. The provisions of this Section are subject to any restrictions or limitations on the issue and delivery of temporary Unregistered Securities of any series that may be established pursuant to Section 2.3 (including any provision that Unregistered Securities of such series initially be issued in the form of a single global Unregistered Security to be delivered to a depositary or agency located outside the United States and the procedures pursuant to which definitive or global Unregistered Securities of such series would be issued in exchange for such temporary global Unregistered Security).

ARTICLE THREE

COVENANTS OF THE ISSUER

SECTION 3.1 Payment of Principal and Interest. The Issuer covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities issued hereunder that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of and interest on, each of the Securities of such series (together with any additional amounts payable with respect to and pursuant to the terms of such Securities) at the place or places, at the respective times and in the manner provided in the Securities of such series and in the Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto and in this Indenture. The interest on Securities with Coupons attached (together with any additional amounts payable with respect to such Securities) shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the several Coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature. If any temporary Unregistered Security provides that interest thereon may be paid while such Security is in temporary form, the interest on any such temporary Unregistered Security (together with any additional amounts payable with respect to such Security) shall be paid, as to the installments of interest evidenced by Coupons attached thereto, if any, only upon presentation of such Securities for notation thereon of the payment of such interest, in each case subject to any restrictions that may be established pursuant to Section 2.3. The interest on Registered Securities (together with any additional amounts payable with respect to such Securities ) shall be payable only to or upon the written order of the Holders thereof entitled thereto and, at the option of the Issuer, may be paid by wire transfer (subject to the procedures of the paying agent) or by mailing checks for such interest payable to or upon the written order of such Holders at their last addresses as they appear on the registry books of the Issuer.

SECTION 3.2 Offices for Payments, etc. So long as any Registered Securities are authorized for issuance pursuant to this Indenture or remain Outstanding, the Issuer will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where the Registered Securities of each series may be surrendered for payment and where the Registered Securities of each series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange as is provided in this Indenture.

The Issuer will maintain one or more offices or agencies in a city or cities located outside the United States (including any city in which such an office or agency is required to be maintained under the rules of any stock exchange on which the Securities of such series are listed) where the Unregistered Securities, if any, of each series and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto may be surrendered for payment or exchange. No payment on or exchange of any Unregistered Security or Coupon will be made upon surrender of such Unregistered Security or Coupon at an office or agency of the Issuer within the United States nor will any payment be made by transfer to an account in, or by mail to an address in, the United States unless pursuant to applicable United States laws and regulations then in effect such payment can be made without adverse tax consequences to the Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments in Dollars of Unregistered Securities of any series and Coupons appertaining thereto which are payable in Dollars may be made at an agency of the Issuer maintained in The City of New York if such payment in Dollars at each agency maintained by the Issuer outside the United States for payment on such Unregistered Securities is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions.

The Issuer will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Securities of any series, the Coupons appertaining thereto, or this Indenture may be served.

The Issuer will give to the Trustee prompt written notice of the location of any such office or agency and of any change of location thereof. The Issuer hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee maintained in the City of New York as the office or agency for each such purpose to be carried out in New York. The Issuer shall designate an office or agency outside the United States for each such purpose relating to Unregistered Securities prior to the issuance of any Unregistered Securities. In case the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to provide such notice of the location or of any change in the location thereof, presentations and demands may be made and notices may be served at the Corporate Trust Office.

The Issuer will cause to be kept a register at the office of the Security Registrar in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer will provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed Security Registrar for the purpose of registering Securities and transferring Securities as herein provided.

The Issuer may from time to time designate one or more additional offices or agencies where the Securities of any series and any Coupons appertaining thereto may be presented for payment, where the Securities of that series may be presented for exchange as provided in this Indenture and pursuant to Section 2.3 and where the Registered Securities of that series may be presented for registration of transfer as in this Indenture provided, and the Issuer may from time to time rescind any such designation, as the Issuer may deem desirable or expedient; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain the agencies provided for in the first three paragraphs of this Section 3.2. The Issuer will give to the Trustee prompt written notice of any such designation or rescission thereof.

SECTION 3.3 Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in Office of Trustee. The Issuer, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 6.9, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to each series of Securities hereunder.

SECTION 3.4 Paying Agents. Whenever the Issuer shall appoint a paying agent other than the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series, it will cause such paying agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section,

(a) that it will hold all sums received by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such series (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Issuer or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series) in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series or of the Trustee;

(b) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Issuer (or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series) to make any payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such series when the same shall be due and payable;

(c) that it will, at any time during the continuance of any such failure, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such paying agent; and

(d) that it will in all respects comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 applicable to such paying agent.

The Issuer will, on or prior to each due date of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such series, deposit with the paying agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held as provided in the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, and (unless such paying agent is the Trustee) the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action.

If the Issuer shall act as its own paying agent with respect to the Securities of any series, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series or the Coupons appertaining thereto a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action.

Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to Section 10.1, the Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge with respect to one or more or all series of Securities hereunder or with respect to this Indenture or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust for any such series by the Issuer or any paying agent hereunder, as required by this Section, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained.

Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of Sections 10.3 and 10.4.

SECTION 3.5 Written Statement to Trustee. The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee on or before March 31 in each year (beginning with March 31, 1997) a brief certificate (which need not comply with Section 11.5) from the Issuer, signed by its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, or principal accounting officer, stating that in the course of the performance by the signer of his duties as an officer of the Issuer, he would normally have knowledge of any Default or non-compliance by the Issuer in the performance or fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or condition of the Issuer, contained in this Indenture, stating whether or not he has knowledge of any such Default or non-compliance and, if so, specifying each such Default or non-compliance of which the signer has knowledge and the nature thereof.

SECTION 3.6 Corporate Existence. Subject to Article Nine, the Issuer will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights and franchises; provided that the Issuer shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Issuer shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of its business and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders of any series of Securities.

SECTION 3.7 Luxembourg Publications. In the event of the publication of any notice pursuant to Section 5.11, 6.9, 6.10, 8.2, 10.4, 12.2 or 12.5, the party making such publication in the City of New York and London shall also, to the extent that notice is required to be given to Holders of Securities of any series by applicable Luxembourg law or stock exchange regulation, as evidenced by any Officers' Certificate delivered to such party, make a similar publication in Luxembourg.

ARTICLE FOUR

SECURITYHOLDERS' LISTS AND

The Issuer and any other obligor on the Securities each covenants and agrees that it will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee a list in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of the Securities of each series:

(a) semiannually and not more than 15 days after each Regular Record Date, and

(b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Issuer of any such request as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such information is furnished,

provided that if and so long as the Trustee shall be the Security Registrar for such series and all of the Securities of any series are Registered Securities, such list shall not be required to be furnished for such series.

SECTION 4.2 Preservation and Disclosure of Securityholders' Lists.

(a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of the Holders of each series of Securities (i) contained in the most recent list furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section 4.1, (ii) received by the Trustee in its capacity as Security Registrar for such series, if so acting, and (iii) filed with it within two preceding years pursuant to
Section 313(c)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 4.1 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

SECTION 4.3 Reports by the Issuer.

SECURITYHOLDERS ON EVENT OF DEFAULT

SECTION 5.1 Event of Default Defined; Acceleration of Maturity; Waiver of Default. "Event of Default," with respect to Securities of any series wherever used herein, means one of the following events which shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

(c) failure on the part of the Issuer duly to comply with, observe or perform any of the other covenants or agreements on the part of the Issuer contained in, or provisions of, the Securities of any series or this Indenture (other than a covenant or agreement which is not applicable to the Securities of such series), but only if such default shall not have been remedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice specifying such failure, stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder and demanding that the Issuer remedy the same, shall have been given by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the Issuer by the Trustee, or to the Issuer and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series of Securities; or

(d) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Issuer in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Insolvency Law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Issuer a bankrupt or insolvent under an applicable Insolvency Law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuer or of any substantial part of the property of the Issuer or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Issuer and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

(e) the commencement by the Issuer of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Insolvency Law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by the Issuer to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Issuer in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Insolvency Law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against the Issuer or the filing by the Issuer of a petition, answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Insolvency Law, or the consent by the Issuer to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Issuer or of any substantial part of the property of the Issuer or the making by the Issuer of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by the Issuer in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action (which shall involve the passing of one or more Board Resolutions by the Issuer) in furtherance of any such action,

(g) a default with respect to any Debt, which default results in the acceleration of Debt in an amount in excess of $50,000,000 or the equivalent thereof in any other currency or composite currency without such Debt having been discharged or such acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled for a period of thirty days after written notice thereof shall have been given by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the Issuer by the Trustee, or to the Issuer and the Trustee by the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series affected thereby; or

(h) any other Event of Default provided for with respect to Securities of that series in the supplemental indenture under which such series is issued or in the terms of Securities of such series;

provided that if any such failure, default or acceleration referred to in clauses (f), (g) and (h) shall cease or be cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, then the Event of Default hereunder by reason thereof, and any acceleration under this Section 5.1 resulting solely therefrom, shall be deemed likewise to have been thereupon cured, waived, rescinded or annulled without further action on the part of either the Trustee or any of the Securityholders.

If an Event of Default other than those specified in Section 5.1(d) or
(e) (if the Event of Default is with respect to less than all series of Securities then Outstanding) occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, except for any series of Securities the principal of which shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each such affected series then Outstanding hereunder (voting as a single class) by notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the entire principal (or, if the Securities of any such affected series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) of all Securities of all such affected series, and the interest accrued thereon, if any (together with any additional amounts payable with respect to such Securities), to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration, the same shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default other than those specified in Section 5.1(d) or (e) (if the Event of Default is with respect to all series of Securities then Outstanding), occurs and is continuing, then and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Securities shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities then Outstanding hereunder (treated as one class), by notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the entire principal (or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all the Securities then Outstanding, and interest accrued thereon, if any (together with any additional amounts payable with respect to such Securities) to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(d) or (e) occurs, the entire principal (or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in terms thereof) of all the Securities then Outstanding, and interest accrued thereon, if any, (together with any additional amounts payable with respect to such Securities) shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Securityholder.

The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal (or, if the Securities of such series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of the Securities of any series shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Issuer shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest (together with any additional amounts payable with respect to such Securities) upon all the Securities of such series and the principal of any and all Securities of each such series which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest, (together with any additional amounts payable with respect to such Securities) at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of each such series (or the respective rates of interest or Yields to Maturity of all the Securities, as the case may be, to the date of such payment or deposit) and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith, and if any and all Events of Default under the Indenture, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein -- then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities of each such series or of all the Securities, as the case may be, in each case voting as a single class, then Outstanding, by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may waive all defaults with respect to such series and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon.

For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Securities shall have been accelerated and declared due and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after such declaration, unless such declaration has been rescinded and annulled, the principal amount of such Original Issue Discount Securities shall be deemed, for all purposes hereunder, to be such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, together with accrued interest, if any, thereon and all other amounts owing thereunder, shall constitute payment in full of such Original Issue Discount Securities.

SECTION 5.2 Collection of Debt by Trustee; Trustee May Prove Debt. The Issuer covenants that (a) in case Default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Securities of any series when such interest shall have become due and payable and such Default shall have continued for a period of 30 days or (b) in case Default shall be made in the payment of all or any part of the principal of any of the Securities of any series when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon the Stated Maturity of the Securities of such series or upon any redemption or by declaration or otherwise, other than a Default that is the result of an optional redemption by the Holders of Securities of any series, the amount of which is not in excess of $50,000,000 or the equivalent thereof in any currency or composite currency, unless such Default shall have continued for a period of 60 days after giving a notice with respect thereto under Section 5.1(c), then upon demand of the Trustee, the Issuer will pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all such Securities of such series, and such Coupons, if any, for principal, or interest, as the case may be (with interest to the date of such payment upon the overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such series); and in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and any expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith.

Until such demand is made by the Trustee, the Issuer may pay the principal of and interest on the Securities of any series to the Holders, whether or not the principal of and interest on Securities of such series be overdue.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders by such appropriate judicial proceeding as the Trustee may deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series, wherever situated the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

In the case of any judicial proceeding relating to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series, or the property or creditors of the Issuer or any such obligor, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In addition, unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered to vote on behalf of the Holders of Securities of any series in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or a Person providing similar functions in comparable proceedings.

The Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Securityholders and of the Trustee on their behalf, and any trustee, receiver, or liquidator, custodian or other similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Securityholders to make payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith and all other amounts due to the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee pursuant to
Section 6.6.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Securities of any series or Coupons appertaining to such series, may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities of such series or Coupons appertaining to such series or the production thereof on any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements, advances and compensation of the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series or Coupons appertaining thereto in respect of which action was taken.

In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Securities or Coupons appertaining to such Securities in respect of which such action was taken, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of such Securities or Coupons appertaining to such Securities, parties to any such proceedings.

SECTION 5.3 Application of Proceeds. Any monies collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article in respect of any series shall be applied in the following order at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such monies on account of principal or interest, upon presentation of the several Securities and Coupons appertaining thereto in respect of which monies have been collected and stamping (or otherwise noting) thereon the payment, or issuing Securities of the same series, of like tenor, in reduced principal amounts in exchange for the presented Securities of like series if only partially paid, or upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of costs and expenses applicable to the Securities of such series in respect of which monies have been collected, including any and all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.6;

SECOND: In case the principal of the Securities of such series in respect of which monies have been collected shall not have become and be then due and payable, to the payment of interest on the Securities of such series in default in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments of interest at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in such Securities, such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference;

THIRD: In case the principal of the Securities of such series in respect of which monies have been collected shall have become and shall be then due and payable, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon all the Securities of such series for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal; and (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of interest at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such series; and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the Securities of such series, then to the payment of such principal and interest or Yield to Maturity, without preference or priority of principal over interest or Yield to Maturity, or of interest or Yield to Maturity over principal, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Security of such series over any other Security of such series ratably to the aggregate of such principal and accrued and unpaid interest or Yield to Maturity; and

FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Issuer or any other Person lawfully entitled thereto.

SECTION 5.4 Suits for Enforcement. In case an Event of Default has occurred, has not been waived and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

SECTION 5.5 Restoration of Rights on Abandonment of Proceedings. In case the Trustee or any Securityholder shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Securityholder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Securityholders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and thereafter all rights, remedies and powers of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Securityholders shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

SECTION 5.6 Limitations on Suits by Securityholders. No Holder of any Security of any series or of any Coupon appertaining thereto shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any action or proceeding, judicial or otherwise, at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official or for any other remedy hereunder, unless (i) such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default as hereinbefore provided, (ii) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such affected series then Outstanding, treated as a single class, shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action or proceedings in its own name as trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby;
(iii) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute any such action or proceedings; and (iv) no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.9; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the Holder of every Security or Coupon with every other Holder of the Securities of such series or Coupons and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Securities of such series shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder of Securities or Coupons appertaining to such Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Securities of the applicable series and Coupons appertaining to such Securities. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

SECTION 5.7 Unconditional Right of Securityholders to Institute Certain Suits. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture and any provision of any Security, the right of any Holder of any Security or Coupon to receive payment of the principal of and interest on (together with any additional amounts payable with respect to and pursuant to the terms of such Securities) such Security or Coupon and any interest in respect of a Default in the payment of any such amounts, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security or Coupon or Redemption Dates provided for therein or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment rights on or after such respective dates shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 5.8 Powers and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver of Default. Except as provided in Section 2.9 and 5.6, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or Coupons is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Securities or Coupons to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to Section 5.6, every power and remedy given by this Indenture or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or Coupons may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities or Coupons.

SECTION 5.9 Control by Securityholders. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series affected at the time Outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee by this Indenture with respect to or for the benefit of such Securities of such series; provided that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with applicable law and the provisions of this Indenture and provided further that (subject to the provisions of Section 6. 1) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed may not be lawfully taken or that the action or proceeding so directed may expose the Trustee to personal liability or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or the executive committee thereof shall so determine that the actions or forbearances specified in or pursuant to such direction would be unduly prejudicial to the interests of Holders of the Securities of all series so affected not joining in the giving of said direction, it being understood that (subject to Section 6.1) the Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders.

Nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee in its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction by Securityholders.

SECTION 5.10 Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Securities of any series as provided in
Section 5.1, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding with respect to which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past Default or Event of Default hereunder with respect to the Securities of such series and its consequences, except a Default (a) in the payment of principal or interest on any Security of such series or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Security affected.

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of all such Securities shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 5.11 Trustee to Give Notice of Default, But May Withhold in Certain Circumstances. The Trustee shall, within ninety days after the occurrence of a default with respect to the Securities of any series, give notice of all defaults with respect to that series known to the Trustee (i) if any Unregistered Securities of that series are then Outstanding, to the Holders thereof, by publication at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 3.7, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg) and (ii) to all Holders of Securities of such affected series in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 4.4(c), unless such defaults shall have been cured before the mailing or publication of such notice (the term "default" or "defaults" for the purposes of this Section 5.11 being hereby defined to mean any event or condition which is, or with notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default); provided that, except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Securities of such series, or in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund installment on such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the Board of Directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Securityholders.

SECTION 5.12 Right of Court to Require Filing of Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit other than the Trustee of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit including the Trustee, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder or group of Securityholders of any series holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series Outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security on or after the due date expressed in such Security or any date fixed for redemption.

ARTICLE SIX

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 6.1 Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustee; During Default; Prior to Default. With respect to the Holders of any series of Securities issued hereunder, the Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a particular series, and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred with respect to such series, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a particular series has occurred (which has not been cured or waived) the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that

(a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default with respect to such series which may have occurred:

(i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any statements, certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such statements, certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture;

(b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of Holders pursuant to Section 5.9 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture.

None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity from the Issuer against such liability is not reasonably assured to it.

SECTION 6.2 Certain Rights of the Trustee. Subject to Section 6.1:

(a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers' Certificate or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction. consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers' Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed), and any Board Resolution of the Issuer may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the secretary or assistant secretary of the Issuer;

(c) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any written advice or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;

(d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Securityholders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred therein or thereby;

(e) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

(f) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security, or other paper or document unless requested in writing so to do by the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series affected; provided that, if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expenses or liabilities as a condition to proceeding; the reasonable expenses of every such examination shall be paid by the Issuer or, if paid by the Trustee or any predecessor trustee, shall be repaid by the Issuer upon demand; and

(g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys not regularly in its employ and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder.

SECTION 6.3 Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals, Disposition of Securities or Application of Proceeds Thereof. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee's certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of any of the Securities or of the proceeds thereof.

SECTION 6.4 Trustee and Agents May Hold Securities or Coupons; Collections, etc, The Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities or Coupons with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent and, subject to Section 6.12 and Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 may otherwise deal with the Issuer and receive, collect, hold and retain collections from the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent.

SECTION 6.5 Monies Held by Trustee. Subject to the provisions of
Section 10.4 hereof, all monies received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by mandatory provisions of law. Neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be under any liability for interest on any monies received by it hereunder.

SECTION 6.6 Compensation and Indemnification of Trustee and Its Prior Claim. The Issuer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) and the Issuer covenants and agrees to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by or on behalf of it in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all agents and other Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Issuer also covenants to indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the trusts hereunder and its duties hereunder, including but not limited to the costs and expenses of defending itself against or investigating any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The obligations of the Issuer under this
Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. Such additional indebtedness shall be a senior claim to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of or interest on particular Securities or Coupons, and the Securities are hereby subordinated to such senior claim. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1 or in connection with Article Five hereof, the expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services in connection therewith are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law.

SECTION 6.7 Right of Trustee to Rely on Officers' Certificate, etc. Subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, whenever in the administration of the trusts of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

SECTION 6.8 Persons Eligible for Appointment as Trustee ; Conflict Interests. The Trustee for each series of Securities hereunder shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State or the District of Columbia having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, and which is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and is subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. At no time shall the Trustee be an obligor, or directly or indirectly, control, be controlled by, or under the common control with any obligor upon any Securities issued hereunder. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 6.9.

The provisions of this Section 6.8 are in furtherance of and subject to Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and this Indenture. To the extent permitted by such Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to Securities of more than one series or a trustee under the Indenture dated as of April 15, 1994, among P. T. ALatief Freeport Finance Company B. V., as issuer, Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., as guarantor, and The Chase Manhattan Bank (formerly known as Chemical Bank), as Trustee.

SECTION 6.9 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor Trustee. (a) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to one or more or all series of Securities by giving written notice of resignation to the Issuer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees with respect to the applicable series by written instrument in duplicate, executed by authority of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee or trustees. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed with respect to any series and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable series for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 5.12, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

(b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of
Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 with respect to any series of Securities after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months; or

(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.8 or Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any such Securityholder; or

(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting with respect to any series of Securities, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver or liquidator of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;

then, in any such case, the Issuer may remove the Trustee with respect to the applicable series of Securities and appoint a successor trustee for such series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 5.12, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such series. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

(c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee with respect to such series and appoint a successor trustee with respect to such series by delivering to the Trustee so removed, to the successor trustee so appointed and to the Issuer the evidence provided for in Section 7. 1 of the action in that regard taken by the Securityholders.

(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee with respect to any series and any appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such series pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 6.9 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 6.10.

(e) The Issuer shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee of each series of Securities by mailing written notice of such an event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of Registered Securities of such series as their names and addresses appear in the Security register. If any Unregistered Securities of a series affected are then Outstanding, notice of such resignation shall be given to the Holders thereof, (i) by publication at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by
Section 3.7, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg) and
(ii) by mailing notice to those Holders of Unregistered Securities who have furnished their names and addresses to the Trustee for such purpose within the two years preceding the giving of such notice.

SECTION 6.10 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 6.9 shall execute and deliver to the Issuer and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon 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 rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder with respect to such series, with like effect as if originally named as trustee for such series hereunder; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer or of the successor trustee, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, the trustee ceasing to act shall, subject to Section 10.4, pay over to the successor trustee all monies at the time held by it hereunder and shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act as such shall, nevertheless, retain a prior claim upon all property or funds held or collected by it to secure any amounts then due to it pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.6.

If a successor trustee is appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Issuer, the predecessor Trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series as to which the predecessor Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, and shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts under separate indentures.

No successor trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 6. 10 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and eligible under the provisions of Section 6.8 and Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee for a series of Securities as provided in this Section 6. 10, the Issuer shall (i) mail notice thereof by first-class mail to the Holders of Registered Securities of such series at their last addresses as they shall appear in the Security register, or (ii) in the case of Holders of Unregistered Securities of such series, publish such notice once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 3.7, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg) and mail such notice to those Holders of Unregistered Securities of such series who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee for such purpose within two years preceding the giving of such notice. Each such notice shall include the name of the successor trustee for such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. If the acceptance of appointment is substantially contemporaneous with the resignation, then the notice called for by the preceding sentence may be combined with the notice called for by Section 6.9. If the Issuer fails to provide such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be provided at the expense of the Issuer.

SECTION 6.11 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business 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, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and eligible under the provisions of Section 6.8 and Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities of any series shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and, in case at that time any of the Securities of any series shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificate shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities of such series or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Securities of any series in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

SECTION 6.12 Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuer. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 regarding the collection of claims against the Issuer (or any such other obligor).

SECTION 6.13 Appointment of Authenticating Agent. As long as any Securities of a series remain Outstanding, the Trustee may, by an instrument in writing, appoint with the approval of the Issuer an authenticating agent (the "Authenticating Agent") which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities issued upon exchange, registration of transfer, partial redemption or pursuant to
Section 2.9. Securities of each such series authenticated by such Authenticating Agent shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee. Whenever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities of any series by the Trustee or to the Trustee's Certificate of Authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent for such series and a Certificate of Authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by such Authenticating Agent. Such Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000 (determined as provided in Section 6.9 with respect to the Trustee) and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority.

Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted, or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authen- ticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent with respect to all series of Securities for which it served as Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or such Authenticating Agent. Any Authenticating Agent may at any time, and if it shall cease to be eligible shall, resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Issuer.

The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to the Authenticating Agent and to the Issuer. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.13 with respect to one or more series of Securities, the Trustee may upon receipt of a Company Order appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and the Issuer shall provide notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 11.4. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Authenticating Agent. The Issuer agrees to pay to the Authenticating Agent for such series from time to time reasonable compensation. The Authenticating Agent for the Securities of any series shall have no responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such at the direction of the Trustee.

Sections 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 and, as agent of the Trustee, 7.3 shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.

ARTICLE SEVEN

CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS

SECTION 7.1 Evidence of Action Taken by Securityholders. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Securityholders of any or all series may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Securityholders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Article.

SECTION 7.2 Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of Securities. Subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder or his agent or proxy may be proved in the following manner:

(a) The fact and date of the execution by any Holder or his agent or proxy of any instrument, or the authority of such an agent or proxy to execute such instrument, may be proved by the certificate of any notary public or other officer of any jurisdiction authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds or administer oaths that the Person executing such instruments acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution sworn to before any such notary or other such officer. Where such execution is by or on behalf of any legal entity other than an individual, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of the authority of the Person executing the same. The fact of the holding by any Holder of an Unregistered Security of any series, and the identifying number of such Security and the date of his holding the same, may be proved by the production of such Security or by a certificate executed by any trust company, bank, or recognized securities dealer wherever situated satisfactory to the Trustee, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. Each such certificate shall be dated and shall state that on the date thereof a Security of such series bearing a specified identifying number was deposited with or exhibited to such trust company, bank, or recognized securities dealer by the Person named in such certificate. Any such certificate may be issued in respect of one or more Unregistered Securities of one or more series specified therein. The holding by the Person named in any such certificate of any Unregistered Securities of any series specified therein shall be presumed to continue for a period of one year from the date of such certificate unless at the time of any determination of such holding (1) another certificate bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Securities shall be produced, or (2) the Security of such series specified in such certificate shall be produced by some other Person, or (3) the Security of such series specified in such certificate shall have ceased to be Outstanding. Subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, the fact and date of the execution of any such instrument and the amount and numbers of Securities of any series held by the Person so executing such instrument and the amount and numbers of any Security or Securities for such series may also be proven in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee for such series or in any other manner which the Trustee for such series may deem sufficient.

(b) In the case of Registered Securities, the ownership of such Securities shall be proved by the Security register or by a certificate of the Security Registrar.

SECTION 7.3 Holders to be Treated as Owners. Prior to surrender of a Security for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, or the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Registered Security shall be registered upon the Security register as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, interest on such Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, or the Trustee may treat the Holder of any Unregistered Security and the Holder of any Coupon as the absolute owner of such Unregistered Security or Coupon (whether or not such Unregistered Security or Coupon shall be overdue) for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes and neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer, or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any such Person, or upon his order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable upon any such Unregistered Security or Coupon.

SECTION 7.4 Securities Owned by Issuer Deemed Not Outstanding. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Securities which are owned by the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver only Securities which the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Securities or any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities. In case of a dispute as to such right, the advice of counsel shall be full protection in respect of any decision made by the Trustee in accordance with such advice. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officers' Certificate listing and identifying all Securities, if any, known by the Issuer to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above-described Persons; and, subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers' Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Securities not listed therein are Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.

SECTION 7.5 Right of Revocation of Action Taken. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 7.1, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series, as the case may be, specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Security the serial number of which is shown by the evidence to be included among the serial numbers of the Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice at the Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in this Article, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the Holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Security and of any Securities issued in exchange or substitution therefor or on registration or transfer thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon any such Security. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series, as the case may be, specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of all the Securities.

SECTION 7.6 Record Date for Consents and Waivers. The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, direct the Trustee to establish a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to (i) waive any past Default with respect to the Securities of such series in accordance with Section 5.10, (ii) consent to any supplemental indenture in accordance with Section 8.2 of this Indenture or (iii) waive compliance with any term, condition or provision of any covenant hereunder (if this Indenture should expressly provide for such waiver). If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and any such Persons, shall be entitled to waive any such past Default, consent to any such supplemental indenture or waive compliance with any such term, condition or provision or revoke any such waiver or consent, whether or not such Holder remains a Holder after such record date; provided, however, that unless such waiver or consent is obtained from the Holders, or duly designated proxies, of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series prior to the date which is the 90th day after such record date, any such waiver or consent previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect.

The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any notice of Default, (ii) declaration under Section 5.1, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 5.6 or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 5.9, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction or to revoke the same, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable expiration date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Issuer's expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable expiration date to be given to the Issuer in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in
Section 11.4.

ARTICLE EIGHT

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

SECTION 8.1 Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Securityholders. The Issuer when authorized by a Board Resolution (which Resolution may provide general terms or parameters for such action and may provide that the specific terms of such action may be determined in accordance with or pursuant to a Company Order) and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as in force at the date of the execution thereof) for one or more of the following purposes:

(a) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to the Trustee as security for the Securities of one or more series any property or assets;

(b) to evidence the succession of another entity to the Issuer or successive successions, and the assumption by the successor entity of the respective covenants, agreements and obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture or any supplemental indenture;

(c) to add to the covenants of the Issuer such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions or to surrender any right, power or option conferred by this Indenture on the Issuer as its Board of Directors and the Trustee shall consider to be for the protection or benefit of the Holders of all or any series of Securities or Coupons of any series (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Securities, stating that such covenants are being added solely for the benefit of such series), and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a Default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture as herein set forth; provided, that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction, condition or provision such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such an Event of Default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such an Event of Default or may limit the right of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series to waive such an Event of Default;

(d) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture, or to make any other provisions in regard to matters or questions under this Indenture or any supplemental indenture as the Issuer may deem necessary or desirable, provided, that no action under this clause (d) shall adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Securities or Coupons;

(e) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series or of the Coupons appertaining to such Securities as permitted by Sections 2.1 and 2.3;

(f) to make any change to comply with any requirement of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended; and

(g) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section 6.10.

The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Issuer in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties, immunities or liabilities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this
Section may be executed without the consent of the Holders of any of the Securities at the time Outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 8.2.

SECTION 8.2 Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Securityholders. With the consent (evidenced as provided in Article Seven) of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of any series affected by such supplemental indenture, the Issuer, when authorized by a Board Resolution (which Resolution may provide general terms or parameters for such action and may provide that the specific terms of such action may be determined in accordance with or pursuant to a Company Order) and the Trustee may, from time to time and at any time, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as in force at the date of execution thereof) for the purpose of adding, any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of such series or of the Coupons appertaining to such Securities; provided, that no such supplemental indenture shall (a) extend the final maturity of any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate (or alter the method of computation) of interest thereon, or reduce (or alter the method of computation) any amount payable on redemption or repayment thereof or extend the time for payment thereof, or make the principal thereof (including any amount in respect of original issue discount), or interest (together with any additional amounts payable with respect to, and pursuant to the terms of, such Security) thereon payable in any coin or currency other than that provided in the Securities and Coupons or in accordance with the terms thereof, or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon an acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 5.1 or the amount thereof provable in bankruptcy pursuant to Section 5.2, or alter the provisions of Section 11.11 or 11.12 or impair or affect the right of any Securityholder to institute suit for the payment thereof or, if the Securities provide therefor, any right of repayment at the option of the Securityholder, in each case without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected, provided, no consent of any Holder of any Security shall be necessary under this Section 8.2 to permit the Trustee and the Issuer to execute supplemental indentures pursuant to Section 8.1(e) of this Indenture, or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of principal amount of Securities of any series the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture to less than a majority, or reduce the percentage of Securities of such series necessary to consent to waive any past Default under this Indenture to less than a majority, or modify any of the provisions of this Section or Section 5.10, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected, in each case, without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected.

A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or of Coupons appertaining to such Securities, or which modifies the rights of Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series or of the Coupons appertaining to such Securities.

Upon the request of the Issuer, accompanied by a copy of a Board Resolution of the Issuer (which resolution may provide general terms or parameters for such action and may provide that the specific terms of such action may be determined in accordance with or pursuant to a Company Order) authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Securityholders and other documents, if any, required by Section 7.1 the Trustee shall join with the Issuer in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee's own rights, duties, immunities or liabilities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Securityholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Issuer shall give notice thereof setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture, (i) to the Holders of the Outstanding Registered Securities of each series affected thereby, by mailing a notice thereof by first-class mail to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the security register, (ii) if any Unregistered Securities of a series affected thereby are then Outstanding, to the Holders thereof who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee for such purpose within two years preceding the giving of such notice, by mailing a notice thereof by first-class mail to such Holders at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee and (iii) if any Unregistered Securities of a series affected thereby are then Outstanding, to all Holders thereof, by publication of a notice thereof at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by
Section 3.7, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg). Any failure of the Issuer to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

SECTION 8.3 Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Issuer, and the Holders of Securities of each series affected thereby shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments. and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

SECTION 8.4 Documents to Be Given to Trustee. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2, may receive an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article Eight complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture and that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

SECTION 8.5 Notation on Securities in Respect of Supplemental Indentures. Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article may bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee for such series as to any matter provided for by such supplemental indenture or as to any action taken by Securityholders. If the Issuer or the Trustee shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Issuer, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Issuer, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Securities of such series then Outstanding.

ARTICLE NINE

CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE OR CONVEYANCE

SECTION 9.1 Covenant of the Issuer Not to Merge, Consolidate, Sell or Convey Property Except Under Certain Conditions. The Issuer covenants that it will not merge with or into or consolidate with any Person or sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to any Person and the Issuer shall not permit any Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer or sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to the Issuer, unless (i) either the Issuer (in the case of a merger) shall be the continuing corporation, or the successor corporation or the Person which acquires by sale, conveyance, transfer, lease or disposition all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer (if other than the Issuer) shall be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee by such corporation pursuant to Article Eight hereof, all of the payment obligations of the Issuer pursuant to this Indenture and the Securities of all series and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto and the due and punctual performance of every covenant of this Indenture on the part of the Issuer to be performed or observed; (ii) immediately after giving effect to such merger, consolidation, sale, conveyance, transfer, lease or disposition and treating any Debt which becomes an obligation of the Issuer as a result of such transaction as having been incurred by the Issuer at the time of such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

SECTION 9.2 Successor Corporation Substituted. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer, lease or disposition, and following such an assumption by the successor corporation, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the Issuer, with the same effect as if it had been named herein. Except in the case of coveyance by lease, when the successor entity assumes all obligations of the Issuer hereunder and the procedures of Section 9.1 have been complied with, all obligations and covenants of the Issuer hereunder or under the Securities shall terminate.

Such successor corporation may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Issuer prior to such succession any or all of the Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor corporation, instead of the Issuer, and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Securities and Coupons appertaining thereto, if any, which previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication, and any Securities together with any Coupons appertaining thereto which such successor corporation thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All of the Securities so issued together with any Coupons appertaining thereto shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Securities had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer, lease or disposition such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Securities and Coupons thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

In the event of any sale, conveyance, transfer or disposition (other than a conveyance by way of lease) covered by this Section 9.2, the Issuer (or any successor corporation which shall theretofore have become such in the manner described in this Article) shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities and may be liquidated and dissolved.

SECTION 9.3 Opinion of Counsel to Trustee. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2, may receive an Opinion of Counsel prepared in accordance with Section 11.5 as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, lease, disposition or conveyance, and any such assumption, and any such liquidation or dissolution complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture.

(b) no Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or, insofar as Sections 5.1(d) and (e) are concerned, at any time during the period ending on and including the 91st day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period);

(c) such defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 with respect to any securities of the Issuer;

For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Securities of the applicable series, the Issuer may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in such Article or any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to such Article or any such covenant or by reason of any reference in such Article to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute an Event of Default under Section 5.1, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities and Coupons shall be unaffected thereby.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

SECTION 11.1 Incorporators, Stockholders, Officers and Directors of Issuer Exempt from Individual Liability. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, or interest on any Security or any Coupon appertaining thereto, for any claim based thereon, or otherwise in respect thereof, or based on or in respect of this Indenture or any indenture supplement thereto, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer, or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance of such Security and any Coupons appertaining thereto and as part of the consideration for the issue thereof, expressly waived and released.

SECTION 11.2 Provisions of Indenture for the Sole Benefit of Parties and Securityholders. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities or in Coupons appertaining thereto, expressed or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors and the Holders of the Securities or Coupons, if any, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture or under any covenant or provision herein contained, all such covenants and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and the Holders of the Securities or Coupons, if any.

SECTION 11.3 Successors and Assigns of Issuer Bound by Indenture. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise), whether so expressed or not.

SECTION 11.4 Notices and Demands on Issuer, the Trustee and Securityholders. Any notice or demand which by any provision of this Indenture is required or permitted to be given or served by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities or Coupons to or on the Issuer may be given or served by being deposited postage prepaid, first-class mail (except as otherwise specifically provided herein) addressed (until another address of the Issuer is filed by the Issuer with the Trustee) to Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., 1615 Poydras Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70112, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Any notice, direction, request or demand by the Issuer or any Securityholder to or upon the Trustee shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or made, for all purposes, if in writing and given or made at the Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trustee Administration Department.

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Registered Securities, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder entitled thereto, at his last address as it appears in the Security register. Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Unregistered Securities, notice shall be (i) mailed to those Holders of Unregistered Securities who have filed their names and addresses for this purpose with the Trustee within two preceding years of giving such notice, with such notice being sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder entitled thereto, at his last address as it appears in such filing and (ii) published at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the City of New York, and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 3.7, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg). In any case where notice to such Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In case, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service, it shall be impracticable to mail notice to the Issuer and Securityholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

SECTION 11.5 Officers' Certificate and Opinions of Counsel, Statements to Be Contained Therein. Upon any application or demand by the Issuer to the Trustee to take any action under any of the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent have been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or demand as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such particular application or demand, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

Except as provided in Sections 3.5 and 12.5, each certificate or opinion provided for in this Indenture and delivered to the Trustee with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include (a) a statement that the Person making such certificate or providing such opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions relating thereto, (b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based,

Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of or representations by counsel, unless such officer knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous. Any certificate, statement or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, information with respect to which is in the possession of the Issuer upon the certificate, statement or opinion of or representations by an officer or officers of the Issuer unless such counsel knows that the certificate, statement or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous.

Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the Issuer or of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to accounting matters, upon a certificate or opinion of or representations by an accountant or firm of accountants in the employ of the Issuer unless such officer or counsel, as the case may be, knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the accounting matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous.

Any certificate or opinion of any independent firm of public accountants filed with and directed to the Trustee shall contain a statement that such firm is independent.

SECTION 11.6 Payments Due on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. If the date of maturity of interest on or principal of the Securities of any series or any Coupons appertaining thereto or the date fixed for redemption or repayment of any Security shall not be a Business Day, then payment of interest or principal need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date of maturity or the date fixed for redemption or repayment, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such date.

SECTION 11.7 Conflict of Any Provision of Indenture with Trust Indenture Act of 1939. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with the duties imposed by any of Sections 310 through 317, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 or with another provision hereof which is required to be included by any of Section 310 through 317, inclusive, by operation of Section 318(c) thereof, such duties and required provision shall control except as, and to the extent, such provision is expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

In case any provision of this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected thereby.

SECTION 11.9 Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

SECTION 11.10 Effect of Headings. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

SECTION 11.11 Securities in a Foreign Currency or in ECU. Unless otherwise specified in an Officers' Certificate delivered pursuant to
Section 2.3 of this Indenture with respect to a particular series of Securities, whenever for purposes of this Indenture any action may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of Securities of all series or all series affected by a particular action at the time outstanding and, at such time, there are Outstanding Securities of any series which are denominated in a coin or currency other than Dollars (including ECUs), then the principal amount of Securities of such series which shall be deemed to be Outstanding for the purpose of taking such action shall be that amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such amount at the Market Exchange Rate. For purposes of this Section 11.11, Market Exchange Rate shall mean the noon Dollar buying rate in New York City for cable transfers of that currency as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; provided, however, in the case of ECUs, Market Exchange Rate shall mean the rate of exchange determined by the Commission of the European Communities (or any successor thereto) as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (such publication or any successor publication, the "Journal"). If such Market Exchange Rate is not available for any reason with respect to such currency, the Trustee shall use, in its sole discretion and without liability on its part, such quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or, in the case of ECUs, the rate of exchange as published in the Journal, as of the most recent available date, or quotations or, in the case of ECUs, rates of exchange from one or more major banks in The City of New York or in the country of issue of the currency in question, which for purposes of the ECU shall be Brussels, Belgium, or such other quotations or, in the case of ECU, rates of exchange as the Trustee shall deem appropriate. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply in determining the equivalent principal amount in respect of Securities of a series denominated in a currency other than Dollars in connection with any action taken by Holders of Securities pursuant to the terms of this Indenture including without limitation any determination contemplated in Section 5.1(f) or (g).

All decisions and determinations of the Trustee regarding the Market Exchange Rate or any alternative determination provided for in the preceding paragraph shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive to the extent permitted by law for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Issuer and all Holders.

SECTION 11.12 Judgment Currency. The Issuer agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that (a) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of or interest on the Securities of any series (the "Required Currency") into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the "Judgment Currency"), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered, unless such day is not a New York Banking Day, then, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day preceding the day on which final unap- pealable judgment is entered and (b) its obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with subsection (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of the foregoing, "New York Banking Day" means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in The City of New York or a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to close.

Notice of redemption to all Holders of Unregistered Securities shall be published in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York and in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 3.7, in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), in each case, once in each of three successive calendar weeks, the first publication to be not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice. Failure to give notice by mail, or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security of a series designated for redemption as a whole or in part, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security of such series.

The notice of redemption to each such Holder shall specify the principal amount of each Security of such series held by such Holder to be redeemed, the Redemption Date, the applicable Redemption Price, and, if the Redemption Price was required to be calculated according, or pursuant to a formula or by reference to the value or price of any one or more commodities, currencies, indices, instruments or other securities, the method for such calculation and the basis for such Redemption Price, the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Securities and, in the case of Securities with Coupons attached thereto, of all Coupons appertaining thereto maturing after the date fixed for redemption, that such redemption is pursuant to a mandatory or optional sinking fund, or both, if such be the case, that interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in said notice and that on and after said Redemption Date interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. In case any Security of a series is to be redeemed in part only the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

The notice of redemption of Securities of any series to be redeemed at the option of the Issuer shall be given by the Issuer or, at the Issuer's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.

On or before the Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more paying agents (or, if the Issuer is acting as its own paying agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 3.4) an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the Redemption Date all the Securities of such series to be redeemed at the appropriate Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date. The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee at least 70 days prior to the date fixed for redemption an Officers' Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed. In case of a redemption at the election of the Issuer prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption or subject to compliance with conditions precedent, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, prior to the giving of any notice of redemption to Holders pursuant to this Section, an Officers' Certificate stating that such restriction or condition has been complied with.

If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, in such manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair, Securities of such series to be redeemed in whole or in part. Securities may be redeemed in part in multiples equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series or any multiple thereof. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Securities of such series selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities of such series selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities of any series shall relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be redeemed.

SECTION 12.3 Payment of Securities Called for Redemption. If notice of redemption has been given as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable Redemption Price, together with interest accrued to the Redemption Date, and on and after said Redemption Date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Securities at the Redemption Price, together with interest accrued to said Redemption Date) interest on the Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, and the unmatured Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto shall be void, and such Securities shall cease from and after the Redemption Date to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and the Holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Securities to be redeemed except the right to receive the applicable Redemption Price thereof and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date. On surrender of such Securities at a place of payment specified in said notice, together with all Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date, such Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Issuer at the applicable Redemption Price, together with interest accrued thereon to the Redemption Date; provided that any payment of interest becoming due on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable in the case of Securities with Coupons attached thereto, to the Holders of the Coupons for such interest upon surrender thereof, and in the case of Registered Securities, registered as such on the relevant Regular Record Date subject to the terms and provisions of Sections 2.3 and 2.7 hereof.

If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in such Security.

If any Security with Coupons attached thereto is surrendered for redemption and is not accompanied by all appurtenant Coupons maturing after the date fixed for redemption, the surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Issuer and the Trustee, if there be furnished to each of them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them harmless.

Upon surrender of any Security redeemed in part only, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or on the order of the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Issuer, a new Security or Securities for such series, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented.

SECTION 12.4 Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds. The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund payment", and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of the Securities of any series is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund payment". The date on which a sinking fund payment is to be made is herein referred to as the "sinking fund payment date".

In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any series of Securities in cash, the Issuer may at its option (a) deliver to the Trustee Securities of such series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except upon redemption pursuant to the mandatory sinking fund) by the Issuer or receive credit for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except as aforesaid) by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.10, (b) receive credit for optional sinking fund payments (not previously so credited) made pursuant to this Section, or (c) receive credit for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) redeemed by the Issuer through any optional redemption provision contained in the terms of such series. Securities so delivered or credited shall be received or credited by the Trustee at the sinking fund redemption price specified in such Securities.

On or before the 60th day next preceding each sinking fund payment date for any series, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate (which need not contain the statements required by Section 11.5) (a) specifying the portion of the mandatory sinking fund payment to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion to be satisfied by credit of Securities of such series and the basis for such credit, (b) stating that none of the Securities of such series to be so credited has theretofore been so credited, (c) stating that no defaults in the payment of interest or Events of Default with respect to such series have occurred (which have not been waived or cured) and are continuing and (d) stating whether or not the Issuer intends to exercise its right to make an optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series and, if so, specifying the amount of such optional sinking fund payment which the Issuer intends to pay on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Any Securities of such series to be credited and required to be delivered to the Trustee in order for the Issuer to be entitled to credit therefor as aforesaid which have not theretofore been delivered to the Trustee shall be delivered for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.10 to the Trustee with such Officers' Certificate (or reasonably promptly thereafter if acceptable to the Trustee). Such Officers' Certificate shall be irrevocable and upon its receipt by the Trustee the Issuer shall become unconditionally obligated to make all the cash payments or payments therein referred to, if any, on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Failure of the Issuer, on or before any such 60th day, to deliver or cause to be delivered such Officers' Certificate and Securities (subject to the parenthetical clause in the second preceding sentence) specified in this paragraph, if any, shall not constitute a default but shall constitute, on and as of such date, the irrevocable election of the Issuer (i) that the mandatory sinking fund payment for such series due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date shall be paid entirely in cash without the option to deliver or credit Securities of such series in respect thereof and (ii) that the Issuer will make no optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series as provided in this Section.

If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional or both) to be made in cash on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash shall exceed $50,000 (or the equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency or ECU) or a lesser sum in Dollars (or the equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency or ECU) if the Issuer shall so request with respect to the Securities of any particular series, such cash shall be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date to the redemption of Securities of such series at the sinking fund redemption price together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. If such amount shall be $50,000 (or the equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency or ECU) or less and the Issuer makes no such request then it shall be carried over until a sum in excess of $50,000 (or the equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency or ECU) is available. The Trustee shall select, in the manner provided in
Section 12.2 and subject to the limitations in Section 12.4, for redemption on such sinking fund payment date a sufficient principal amount of Securities of such series to absorb said cash, as nearly as may be practicable, and shall (if requested in writing by the Issuer) inform the Issuer of the serial numbers of the Securities of such series (or portions thereof) so selected. The Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer (or the Issuer, if it shall so request the Trustee in writing) shall cause notice of redemption of the Securities of such series to be given in substantially the manner provided in Section 12.2 (and with the effect provided in Section 12.3) for the redemption of Securities of such series in part at the option of the Issuer. The amount of any sinking fund payments not so applied or allocated to the redemption of Securities of such series shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment for such series and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Any and all sinking fund monies held on the stated maturity date of the Securities of any particular series (or earlier, if such maturity is accelerated), which are not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities of such series shall be applied, together with other monies, if necessary, sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of, and interest on, the Securities of such series at maturity.

On or before each sinking fund payment date, the Issuer shall pay to the Trustee in cash or shall otherwise provide for the payment of all interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption on Securities to be redeemed on the next following sinking fund payment date.

The Trustee shall not redeem or cause to be redeemed any Securities of a series with sinking fund monies or give any notice of redemption of Securities for such series by operation of the sinking fund during the continuance of a default in payment of interest on such Securities or of any Event of Default except that, where the giving of notice of redemption of any Securities shall theretofore have been made, the Trustee shall redeem or cause to be redeemed such Securities, provided that it shall have received from the Issuer a sum sufficient for such redemption. Except as aforesaid, any monies in the sinking fund for such series at the time when any such default or Event of Default shall occur, and any monies thereafter paid into the sinking fund, shall, during the continuance of such default or Event of Default, be deemed to have been collected under Article Five and held for the payment of all such Securities. In case such Event of Default shall have been waived as provided in Section 5.10 or the default cured on or before the sixtieth day preceding the sinking fund payment date in any year, such monies shall thereafter be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date in accordance with this Section to the redemption of such Securities.

(c) authorize Chase to act as JAA Security Agent for the Banks and RTZ-IIL under the JAA Fiduciary Power in the form attached as Exhibit F hereto and the JAA Fiduciary Transfer in the form attached as Exhibit G hereto;

(d) approve the replacement of the Trustee as security agent under the Interim Fiduciary Transfer and the Interim Fiduciary Power by Chase in its capacity as Security Agent, together with the amendment and restatement of the Interim Fiduciary Transfer in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto and the Interim Fiduciary Power in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto, such amendments and restatements to be the Final Fiduciary Transfer and the Final Fiduciary Power, respectively, for all purposes of the Loan Documents;

Each of the Transaction Parties acknowledges and agrees that, subject and subordinate to the RTZ Lender Lien as to the FIEC Interests only, the continuity, perfection, priority and validity of the Banks' security interests in the FI Retained Interests shall not in any manner be affected, interrupted, waived or released by the Banks' release of the PT-RTZ Joint Venture Interests, the assignment by FI to PT-RTZ of the PT-RTZ COW Interest or the assignment by FI to the Trustee of the PT- RTZ CSA Interests to be held for the benefit of PT-RTZ.

(b) Effective as of the Closing and the concurrent release of the Banks' security interests therein pursuant to Section 3(a) and the RTZ Release, FI hereby assigns, sets over, transfers and conveys to PT-RTZ the PT-RTZ COW Interest, to have and to hold the same unto PT-RTZ on the terms, conditions and obligations contained in the Participation Agreement. PT-RTZ hereby accepts the assignment of the PT-RTZ COW Interest and covenants and agrees that it shall, at any such time as PT-RTZ shall become Operator pursuant to the terms of the Participation Agreement, be bound by, observe and perform all of the provisions of the Contract of Work to be observed and performed by the Operator under the Participation Agreement. Until it is replaced as Operator in accordance with the Operator Replacement Agreement, FI shall remain responsible to the Government of the Republic of Indonesia for the conduct of all operations under the Contract of Work and for all communications with the Government of the Republic of Indonesia under the Contract of Work on behalf of itself and PT-RTZ. In order to effect, confirm and evidence the assignment of the PT-RTZ COW Interest to PT-RTZ, FI and PT-RTZ are executing and delivering the PT-RTZ COW Assignment at the Indonesian Closing. Each of FI and PT- RTZ covenants and agrees with each other that at the request of the other it will execute such further documents and do all such further acts as may reasonably be required for the purpose of vesting the PT- RTZ COW Interest in PT-RTZ.

(c) Effective as of the Closing, FI hereby assigns, sets over and transfers to the Trustee the Concentrate Sales Agreements and the Proceeds to hold in trust for the benefit of FI (and the Secured Creditors) and PT-RTZ on the terms and conditions set forth in the Restated Trust Agreement (in the case of PT-RTZ, to the extent necessary to grant to and vest in PT-RTZ the PT-RTZ Joint Venture Interests listed in clauses (a)(iv)-(vi) of Recital VII (collectively, the "PT-RTZ Revenue Interests")); provided that, without derogation from the foregoing, to the extent that any PT-RTZ Revenue Interest is created or comes into effect in accordance with the Participation Agreement subsequent to the Closing Date, FI shall be deemed to have automatically assigned, set over, transferred and conveyed to the Trustee to hold in trust for the benefit of PT-RTZ a further undivided beneficial interest in the Concentrate Sales Agreements and Proceeds with respect thereto commensurate with such subsequently created or arising PT-RTZ Revenue Interest without the necessity of any further act, document or instrument, with full force and effect as if FI had assigned, set over, transferred and conveyed to the Trustee to hold in trust for the benefit of PT-RTZ (and the Banks had concurrently released their security interest in) such undivided beneficial interest in the Concentrate Sales Agreements and Proceeds at such subsequent time and such undivided beneficial interest shall be deemed to be a PT-RTZ CSA Interest for all purposes of this Agreement, the Participation Agreement, the Concentrate Sales Agreements and the Restated Trust Agreement. Such assignment of the Concentrate Sales Agreements and the Proceeds to the Trustee pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence is intended by FI, the Trustee and the other parties hereto to be not merely a security assignment, but rather a present and absolute assignment (subject to the Banks' security interests therein) of the Concentrate Sales Agreements and the Proceeds. The Trustee and PT-RTZ each hereby accepts the assignment of the PT-RTZ CSA Interests and covenants and agrees that it shall, at all times hereafter, be bound by, observe and perform all of the provisions of the Restated Trust Agreement insofar as they relate to the PT-RTZ CSA Interests. Each of FI and PT-RTZ covenants and agrees with each other and the Trustee that, at the request of the other or of the Trustee, it will execute such further documents and do all such further acts as may reasonably be required for the purpose of vesting the PT-RTZ CSA Interests in the Trustee for the benefit of PT- RTZ under the Restated Trust Agreement. For the purposes of (i) granting a security interest for the benefit of the Banks (subject to the interest of RTZ Lender with respect to FIEC Interests only) in FI's interest in accounts receivable in relation to the Concentrate Sales Agreements and the Proceeds (and not by way of security for the benefit of the Banks over PT-RTZ's interest therein) and (ii) granting a security interest for the benefit of RTZ-IIL in PT-RTZ's interest in accounts receivable in relation to the Concentrate Sales Agreements and the Proceeds (and not by way of security for the benefit of RTZ Lender or RTZ-IIL over FI's interest therein) the parties thereto have executed and delivered the Fiduciary Assignment of Accounts Receivable at the Closing.

(d) After giving effect to the releases by the Banks contained in clause (a) of this Section 3 and the assignment by FI to the Trustee for the benefit of PT-RTZ contained in clause (c) of this
Section 3, FI hereby assigns, sets over, transfers and conveys to the Trustee, to be held on the terms and conditions of the Restated Trust Agreement for the benefit of the various persons and interests (including FI and the Secured Creditors) provided therein, FI's entire right, title and interest in and to the Contract of Work, subject, however, to the existing first priority perfected security interest therein of the Banks, which in the case of the FIEC Interests only is itself subject to the first priority security interests in favor of RTZ Lender referred to in Section 3(f), such assignment, setting over, transfer and conveyance being effective as of the Closing.

(e) Each of the Transaction Parties acknowledges and agrees that the continuity, perfection, priority and validity of the Banks' security interests in the Concentrate Sales Agreements and the Proceeds shall not in any manner be affected, interrupted, waived or released by the present and absolute assignment by FI of the Concentrate Sales Agreements and the Proceeds to the Trustee; provided that upon the effectiveness of such absolute and present assignment of the Concentrate Sales Agreements and the Proceeds to the Trustee, the Banks shall be deemed without the necessity of any further action or instrument to have automatically released their security interests in the PT-RTZ CSA Interests in order to permit the Trustee to hold the PT-RTZ CSA Interests for the benefit of PT-RTZ on the terms and conditions contained in the Restated Trust Agreement.

(f) FI hereby assigns, sets over and transfers to RTZ Lender on the terms and conditions set forth in the RTZ Loan Agreement, effective as of the Closing, as security for the RTZ Loan Indebtedness outstanding from time to time pursuant to the RTZ Loan Agreement, a first priority security interest in the FIEC Interests; provided that, without derogation from the foregoing, to the extent that any FIEC Interest is created or comes into effect in accordance with the Participation Agreement subsequent to the Closing, FI shall be deemed to have automatically assigned, set over, transferred and conveyed to RTZ Lender a further first priority security interest in such subsequently created or arising FIEC Interest without the necessity of any further act, document or instrument, with full force and effect as if FI had assigned, set over, transferred and conveyed to RTZ Lender (and the Banks had concurrently subordinated their security interest pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement in) such FIEC Interests at such subsequent time and such FIEC Interests shall be deemed to be subject to the RTZ Lender Lien. Each of FI and RTZ Lender covenants and agrees with each other and the Trustee that, at the request of the other or of the Trustee, it will execute such further documents and do all such further acts as may reasonably be required for the purpose of vesting the RTZ Lender Lien in the Trustee for the benefit of RTZ Lender under the Restated Trust Agreement.

(g) Notwithstanding the present and absolute assignment of interests in the Contract of Work, the Concentrate Sales Agreements and the Proceeds to the Trustee pursuant to the Restated Trust Agreement, FI and PT-RTZ and each other party hereto agree that the Trustee shall not be obligated to perform or see to the performance or enforce the performance of any obligations or duties under the Contract of Work or the Concentrate Sales Agreements and shall not have any liability whatsoever thereunder.

SECTION 4. Amendment of the Existing Trust Agreement; Change of Security Agent for the Bank Security Agreements. (a) Effective as of the Closing and after giving effect to the releases of security interests, assignments and transfers on the Closing Date provided for or described in Section 3, the Existing Trust Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules thereto) shall be amended and restated in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The provisions of
Section 4.01 of the Existing Trust Agreement relating to indemnification of the Trustee shall survive the amendment and restatement of the Existing Trust Agreement. All security interests granted under the Existing Trust Agreement in assets or interests of FI (the "Other Security") other than the Contract of Work, the Concentrate Sales Agreements, the Proceeds and the FIEC Interests are hereby transferred as of the Closing to the Bank Security Agreement and each of the Transaction Parties acknowledges and agrees that the continuity, perfection, priority and validity of the Banks' security interests in the Other Security shall not in any manner be affected, interrupted, waived or released (i) by the transfer of such security interests from the Existing Trust Agreement to the Bank Security Agreement or (ii) as a result of Chase (in its capacity as Security Agent for the Banks under the Bank Security Agreement) becoming the successor to First Trust of New York, National Association (in its capacity as Trustee under the Existing Trust Agreement), as the secured party with respect to the Other Security.

(b) Chase has been appointed by the Banks as of the Closing as Security Agent for the Banks under the Bank Security Agreement, the Bank Surat Kuasa and the Bank Fiduciary Assignment of Accounts Receivable and as successor Security Agent (in replacement of First Trust of New York, National Association, acting as Trustee under the Existing Trust Agreement) under the Amended Fiduciary Transfer and the Amended Fiduciary Power.

First Trust of New York, National Association, shall continue to be entitled to all the fees, immunities, indemnities and protections provided to it as Security Agent under the FI Security Documents, including under the CDF and the FI Credit Agreement
(including without limitation Article VIII and Section 10.4 thereof) as well as under the FI Security Documents, for the period up to the Closing Date, including in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while acting as Security Agent under the FI Security Documents.

(b)             a copy of the signatures of those
     persons authorised to execute and deliver on behalf

     is a party to be exceeded.

         pursuant to Clause 6(4) below the Prescribed Rate
         and commitment fee applicable to the Relevant
         Approved Expansion Project Loan.

    (c)             Each Relevant Approved Expansion Project
         Loan (including, for the avoidance of doubt,
         interest and commitment fee, previously or to be
         added pursuant to Clause 6(4) below) shall accrue
         interest at the Prescribed Rate applicable to that
         Relevant Approved Expansion Project Loan.

    (d)             Should any of the Reference Banks cease
         to carry on business as a bank, the parties shall
         mutually select another bank with a credit rating
         reasonably equivalent to that enjoyed at the date
         of this Agreement by the Reference Bank in question
         to replace such Reference Bank.

(4) There shall be added to and become part of each Relevant Approved Expansion Project Loan on the last Business Day of each Month the following amounts to the extent not paid:

(a)             interest accrued thereon calculated in
     accordance with Clauses 6(3)(a) above and 6(5)(a)
     below and

(b)             an amount equivalent to a commitment fee
     in respect thereof calculated in accordance with
     Clauses 6(3)(a) above and 6(5)(b) below.

(5) RTZ Lender shall, in respect of each Relevant Approved Expansion Project Loan, calculate (on a basis of a 360 day year, comprising 12 months of 30 days each) the interest and commitment fee (if any) to be added to the Relevant Approved Expansion Project Loan on the last Business Day of each Month by

multiplying

         (a)             in the case of the interest to be added,
              the Relevant Approved Expansion Project Loan as at
              the end of the Month in question (immediately prior
              to the addition on the last Business Day of that
              Month of any amounts pursuant to Clause 6(4)(a)) by
              the Prescribed Rate applicable to the Relevant
              Approved Expansion Project Loan, expressed as a
              monthly rate, where such monthly rate shall be the
              interest factor which, when compounded for 12
              months, equals the Prescribed Rate applicable to
              the Relevant Approved Expansion Project Loan

         (b)             in the case of the commitment fee to be
              added, the difference between the estimate of the
              Advance required in relation to the projected
              Relevant Costs given by FI pursuant to Clause
              5(2)(c)(i) in relation to the Relevant Approved
              Expansion Project and the Relevant Approved
              Expansion Project Loan as at the end of the Month
              in question (immediately prior to the addition on
              the last Business Day of that Month of any amounts
              pursuant to Clause 6(4)(b)) by the rate of
              commitment fee applicable to the Relevant Approved
              Expansion Project Loan, expressed as a monthly
              rate, where such monthly rate shall be the factor
              which, when compounded for 12 months, equals the
              rate of the commitment fee applicable to the
              Relevant Approved Expansion Project Loan.

RTZ Lender shall, not later than the fifth Business Day after the end of each Month, send to FI a statement showing the aggregate amount of the Relevant Approved Expansion Project Loan outstanding at the end of the previous Month (prior to the addition of the sums mentioned next) together with the interest and commitment fee applicable during and added to the Relevant Approved Expansion Project Loan at the end of the Month and shall give to FI such explanation regarding the calculation of the interest and commitment fee added as FI may reasonably require.

(6) Each determination by RTZ Lender of the Prescribed Rate and the rate of commitment fee applicable to a Relevant Approved Expansion Project Loan and the amounts of interest accrued on the Relevant Approved Expansion Project Loan and commitment fee applicable thereto shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive.

REPAYMENT OF LOAN

7. (1) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, beginning on the Sharing Commencement Date (as defined in the Participation Agreement), FI will pay to (or, in the case of payments in respect of Applicable Taxes and Additional Amounts, on behalf of) RTZ Lender all the FI Incremental Expansion Cashflow (determined in accordance with the Participation Agreement) until the Loan is repaid in full. FI shall not be required to repay the Loan or pay any other obligation under this Agreement from any of its assets other than the FI Incremental Expansion Cashflow provided that in any event the Loan shall mature and be repayable in full on the earlier of the date which is 25 years after the date of the first Advance under this Agreement and the date which is 15 years after the date of the last Advance under this Agreement and provided further that, on such earlier date, FI may, in lieu of repaying the Loan, at its option assign to RTZ Lender all of the FI Incremental Expansion Cashflow in full and final satisfaction of all FI's obligations hereunder and in no circumstances shall FI require or have the right to require RTZ Lender to reassign the same to FI.

(2) With effect from the Sharing Commencement Date (defined as above), FI shall, not later than the twentieth Business Day after the end of each Month, pay, or cause to be paid, to (or, in the case of payments of Applicable Taxes and Additional Amounts, on behalf of) RTZ Lender in dollars the whole of the FI Incremental Expansion Cashflow for the immediately preceding Month distributed to FI by the Operator in accordance with the terms of the Participation Agreement. Each such payment shall be accompanied by a statement containing details of the FI Incremental Expansion Cashflow computation.

(3) Not later than 45 Business Days after the end of each Year after the date of commissioning of the first Approved Expansion Project, FI shall send to RTZ Lender a statement showing for the previous Year (or part thereof) the FI Incremental Expansion Cashflow, such statement to contain sufficient data to enable RTZ Lender to verify the calculation thereof. If the annual statement indicates an overpayment of FI Incremental Expansion Cashflow, RTZ Lender shall pay to FI a sum equal to the excess within 30 Business Days. If the annual statement indicates an underpayment of FI Incremental Expansion Cashflow, FI shall pay to RTZ Lender a sum equal to the shortfall within 30 Business Days.

(4) Each payment under this Clause 7 shall be applied to Relevant Approved Expansion Project Loans in the following order of priority:

(i) first, to any Applicable Taxes or Additional Amounts then payable;

(ii) secondly, to any amounts of commitment fee or interest then payable, rateably;

(iii) thirdly, to the principal amount of the Relevant Approved Expansion Project Loans in the order in which the first Advance thereunder is made so that no payment shall be applied to the principal amount of any Relevant Approved Expansion Project Loan other than the first until the principal amount of the first has been repaid in full and so on.

UNDERTAKINGS

8. (1) FI undertakes with RTZ Lender that, from the date of this Agreement until all its liabilities under this Agreement have been discharged:

     any remedial action being taken

(b)             FI will not take any action or fail to
     take any action, including actions or failures to
     act under the Contract of Work, the Participation
     Agreement or any of the RTZ Loan Transaction
     Documents to which it is a party, if the effect of
     any such action or failure to act would have a
     material adverse effect on the ability of FI to
     carry out Enterprise Operations or affect
     materially and adversely the access of RTZ Lender
     to 100% of the FI Incremental Expansion Cashflow or
     affect materially and adversely the rights of RTZ
     Lender under the RTZ Loan Transaction Documents

(c)             FI will give prompt notice to RTZ Lender
     of any notice of default, lawsuit, proceeding,
     action or damage of which it becomes aware which
     might materially and adversely affect the ability
     of  FI to carry out Enterprise Operations or the
     access of RTZ Lender to 100% of the FI Incremental
     Expansion Cashflow or might materially and
     adversely affect the rights of RTZ Lender under the
     RTZ Loan Transaction Documents

(d)             FI shall at all times maintain in full
     force and effect for the benefit of RTZ Lender a
     first priority lien with respect to 100% of the FI
     Incremental Expansion Cashflow, free and clear of
     all Encumbrances except for a subordinated lien in
     favour of the secured creditors of FI that are
     parties to the Intercreditor Agreement to the
     extent provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement
     and the Side Letter

(e)             FI shall not Dispose of any part of its
     share of Incremental Expansion Revenues without the
     prior written consent of RTZ Lender and in the
     event of any such Disposal, FI shall procure that
     the transferee commits in writing to RTZ Lender to
     be bound by the repayment provisions of this
     Agreement to the extent of the Participating
     Interest or such other interest transferred

(f)             FI shall at its own expense execute any
     and all further deeds, documents, agreements and
     instruments, and take all such further actions as
     may be required under applicable law or which RTZ
     Lender may reasonably request in order to perfect
     the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
     the Restated Trust Agreement and the Fiduciary
     Assignment of Accounts Receivable, subject to the
     Intercreditor Agreement and the Side Letter and in
     order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the
     validity and first priority of the RTZ Lender Lien.

(2) RTZ Lender shall record in RTZ Lender's internal records separately for each Relevant Approved Expansion Project Loan the date and amount of each Advance from RTZ Lender to FI, the amount of interest and other sums added to the Relevant Approved Expansion Project Loan on the last Business Day of each Month and the date each such amount is added, and the date and amount of each payment by FI to RTZ Lender under this Agreement with respect to the Relevant Approved Expansion Project Loan provided that the failure of RTZ Lender to make or any error in any such entries shall not affect the obligations of FI under this Agreement.

ILLEGALITY

9. If any change in or the introduction of any law, regulation, treaty or (whether or not having the force of law) official directive or rule of any governmental, fiscal, monetary or regulatory (including any self regulatory) authority, organisation or agency of or in the United Kingdom, Indonesia or the U.S.A., or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof by the relevant courts or other authority, organisation or agency in any such jurisdiction or compliance by RTZ Lender therewith, shall make it unlawful or contrary to any such regulation, treaty, official directive or rule for RTZ Lender to make available or fund or maintain or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby, RTZ Lender may, by notice thereof to FI, declare that, to the extent that they are so unlawful or contrary to such regulation, treaty, official directive or rule, RTZ Lender's obligations to FI hereunder shall be suspended forthwith whereupon such obligations and RTZ Lender's Commitment shall be so suspended until such time as such condition is no longer operative. If and to the extent that the continued lending thereof by RTZ Lender would cause RTZ Lender to be in breach of such law, regulation, treaty, official directive or rule, FI will co-operate with RTZ Lender with a view to enabling RTZ Lender to transfer the Loan, its rights under the Trust Agreement and its obligations under this Agreement to another subsidiary of The RTZ Corporation PLC incorporated in a jurisdiction where there is no such illegality provided that if no such subsidiary acceptable to both FI and The RTZ Corporation PLC is identified within a period of twelve months, RTZ Lender's obligations to FI hereunder shall be terminated.

PAYMENTS

10. (1) All payments to be made by FI to RTZ Lender under this Agreement shall be made in dollars in same day funds to such account at such bank or office in New York City as RTZ Lender shall designate by notice to FI given not less than five Business Days prior to the date of such payment.

(2) All payments to be made by RTZ Lender to FI under this Agreement shall be made in dollars in same day funds to such account at such bank or office as FI may designate by notice to RTZ Lender given not less than five Business Days prior to the date of such payment or as FI shall designate in the relevant Advance Request.

(3)          (a) FI shall pay to or on behalf of RTZ Lender
         from the sources specified below (the "Specified
         Sources") an amount equal to all Applicable Taxes
         with respect to amounts payable under this
         Agreement, together with any Additional Amounts, in
         accordance with Clause 10(3)(c).  Payments from
         Specified Sources shall mean:

         (i)                  in the period before any
             Incremental Expansion Cashflow is generated,
             out of Advances (not to exceed the Available
             Commitment) and should any proposed Advance in
             respect of such payments otherwise cause the
             Available Commitment to be exceeded, FI may, at
             its option, either suspend claiming a deduction
             for interest on the Loan (but this is without
             prejudice to the accrual of interest under
             Clause 6) or request an advance from RTZ Lender
             for the excess which shall be granted on the
             same terms as those applicable to Advances
             under this Agreement but at a rate of interest
             reflecting a loan to FI and not to The RTZ
             Corporation PLC

         (ii) in the period after Incremental Expansion
             Cashflow begins to be generated, subject to
             Clause 10(3)(c), first, from Incremental
             Expansion Cashflow available at the time of
             payment and secondly, to the extent that there
             is insufficient to meet any payment, from
             Advances (not to exceed the Available
             Commitment) and should any proposed Advance in
             respect of such payments otherwise cause the
             Available Commitment to be exceeded, FI may, at
             its option, either suspend claiming a deduction
             for interest on the Loan (but this is without
             prejudice to the accrual of interest under
             Clause 6) or request an advance from RTZ Lender
             for the excess which shall be granted on the
             same terms as those applicable to Advances
             under this Agreement but at a rate of interest
             reflecting a loan to FI and not to The RTZ
             Corporation PLC.

    (b)             FI shall from the Specified Sources
         indemnify RTZ Lender against and reimburse RTZ
         Lender upon demand for any Applicable Taxes or
         Additional Amounts paid by RTZ Lender and any loss,
         liability, claim or expenses (including interest,
         penalties, fines, surcharges and legal fees) which
         RTZ Lender may incur at any time arising out of or
         in connection with any failure of FI to make any
         payments of Applicable Taxes or Additional Amounts.

    (c)             FI shall pay or account to the relevant
         taxation or other authorities from the Specified
         Sources within the period permitted by applicable
         law the full amount of any Applicable Tax or
         Additional Amounts payable hereunder and within
         thirty days after each payment by FI hereunder of
         any such Applicable Tax or Additional Amounts, FI
         shall deliver to RTZ Lender evidence (including
         receipts where obtained within that period) that
         such Applicable Tax or Additional Amounts have been
         duly remitted to the appropriate authority.  If any
         such receipts are obtained after the expiry of such
         thirty day period, FI shall furnish copies thereof
         promptly to RTZ Lender.

                    FI shall promptly pay to RTZ Lender from
         the Specified Sources the full amount of any
         Applicable Taxes and Additional Amounts in respect
         thereof upon receipt of notice from RTZ Lender of
         the imposition and amount of such Applicable Tax
         and Additional Amounts when such Applicable Tax and
         Additional Amounts are imposed on any payment in
         the hands of RTZ Lender.

    (d)             If, following the imposition of any
         Applicable Tax or Additional Amount, under this
         Clause 10(3), RTZ Lender determines in its absolute
         discretion that it has obtained a refund of Tax
         payable by it or obtained or used a credit or any
         other relief against Tax on its profits or income
         (any of the foregoing being a "Tax Credit") which
         RTZ Lender in its absolute discretion is able to
         quantify and identify as attributable to Applicable
         Tax or the Additional Amounts paid by FI, then, if
         RTZ Lender can do so without any adverse
         consequences for itself or any other company in RTZ
         Lender's Group, RTZ Lender shall treat as a payment
         made pursuant to Clause 7 such proportion of that
         Tax Credit as RTZ Lender in its absolute discretion
         may determine will leave RTZ Lender and each other
         company in RTZ Lender's Group (after that
         reimbursement) in no better or worse position in
         respect of their worldwide Tax liabilities than
         they would have been in if no payment by FI of
         Applicable Taxes or Additional Amounts had been
         required.  RTZ Lender shall have absolute
         discretion as to whether to claim any Tax Credit
         (and, if it does claim, the extent, order and
         manner in which it does so) and whether any amount
         is due from it under this Clause 10(3)(d) (and, if
         so, what amount and when).  RTZ Lender shall not be
         obliged to disclose any information regarding its
         Tax affairs and computations or those of any other
         company in RTZ Lender's Group.

    (e)             RTZ Lender warrants to FI that RTZ
         Lender is fully eligible for the benefits of the
         "Interest" provision of the double taxation treaty
         between the United Kingdom and the United States of
         America and of the double taxation treaty between
         the United Kingdom and The Republic of Indonesia.

                    Each of FI and RTZ Lender shall provide
         to the other promptly and file with any relevant
         taxation or other authority all information,
         documents, certificates and returns reasonably
         required by the other or necessary in order to
         enable RTZ Lender and FI to claim the benefits of
         any relevant double taxation treaty in respect of
         the lower rate of withholding tax on payments other
         than principal.

11. (1) Each of the events set out below is an Event of Default (whether or not caused by any reason whatsoever outside the control of FI or any other person):

     Loan Transaction Documents is legal, valid and
     enforceable is revoked or terminated or expires and
     is not renewed; or

(d)             if for any reason the Intercreditor
     Agreement, the Side Letter or any of the Security
     Documents shall cease to be valid, legally binding
     and enforceable; or

(e)             if the maturity of the indebtedness
     under either of the Bank Credit Agreements has been
     accelerated as a result of an Event of Default  as

     to RTZ Lender under the RTZ Loan Transaction
     Documents or the Minister of Mines and Energy of
     Indonesia (or any successor entity) or the

     perform its obligations under the RTZ Loan
     Transaction Documents to which it is a party or the
     rights and benefits granted to RTZ Lender under any
     of the RTZ Loan Transaction Documents; or

     sequestrator or similar official for a substantial
     part of its assets in a proceeding brought against

     bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law of any
     jurisdiction now or hereafter in effect.

(2) In the case of any such event as is mentioned in Clause 11(1), and at any time thereafter if any such event shall then be continuing, RTZ Lender may, by written notice to FI, (a) declare that an Allocation Event (as defined in the Restated Trust Agreement) shall have occurred under the Trust Agreement and/or
(b) exercise or cause the Trustee to exercise any or all of the remedies available to RTZ Lender or the Trustee under the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Side Letter, including, without limitation, any action required to enforce RTZ Lender's rights with respect to the FI Incremental Expansion Cashflow.

           with  the  Joint  Operations  (collectively,  "Mining
           Rights") acquired during  the  term of this Agreement
           by or on behalf of a Participant or an Affiliate of a

           After the Exploration  Obligation has been satisfied,
    the  Participants  shall  contribute   funds   for  Approved

    respective Participating  Interests, subject to their rights
    to conduct Sole Risk Ventures.

6. INTERESTS OF PARTICIPANTS

6.1        Participating Interests

    6.1.1              At the date  of this Agreement, except as
           otherwise provided in this  Agreement  (including the

Financial and Accounting Procedures), the Participating Interests of the Participants in Contract Area Block A and in Contract Area Block B are:

PT-FI sixty per cent (60%) PT-RTZ forty per cent (40%).

The Participating Interests of the Participants shall not be changed except as provided in this Agreement (including the Financial and Accounting Procedures) and each Participant's Participating Interest in Contract Area Block A may, as provided in this Agreement and the Financial and Accounting Procedures, be different from its Participating Interest in Contract Area Block B.

6.1.2 There shall be allocated to the Participants the revenues and shares thereof

           calculated  in  accordance  with  the  Financial  and
           Accounting Procedures.

    6.1.3              All costs and liabilities  incurred in or
           attributable to Chargeable Operations in the Contract
           Area   shall  be  allocated  to  and  borne  by   the
           Participants  in  accordance  with  the Financial and
           Accounting Procedures.

    6.1.4              Participating    Interests    shall    be
           calculated to three decimal places and rounded to two
           (e.g. 1.519% rounded to 1.52%).  Decimals of .005 and
           less shall be rounded down.

6.2        Changes in Participating Interests

           A Participant's Participating Interest may be changed
    as follows:-

    6.2.1              in  the event of default by a Participant
           in making its agreed upon contribution to an Approved
           Programme and Budget,  followed by an election by the
           other Participant to invoke Clause 6.3.2.3; or

    6.2.2              transfer by  a  Participant  of less than
           all  its  Participating  Interest in accordance  with
           Clause 15; or

    6.2.3              acquisition  of  less  than  all  of  the
           Participating  Interest  of  the  other  Participant,
           however arising.

In the event of a change in a Participant's Participating Interest with respect to either Contract Area Block A or Contract Area Block B, there will, subject to obtaining any necessary Governmental approval, be a

    corresponding  and proportionate change in the Participant's
    interest in the  COW  with  respect to Contract Area Block A
    (subject to PT-FI's rights with respect to the 10-K Reserves
    and PT-FI Assets) or the COW  with  respect to Contract Area
    Block B, as the case may be.

6.3        Default in Making Contributions

           If a Participant defaults in its  obligation to pay a
    contribution  or cash call properly payable  or  made  under
    this  Agreement  (including  the  Financial  and  Accounting
    Procedures),   (such   Participant   being   a   "Defaulting
    Participant"),

    6.3.1              All  rights of the Defaulting Participant
           to receive its proportionate share of the Incremental
           Expansion Cashflow of Approved Expansion Projects, or
           the  revenues  from  Contract  Area  Block  B,  Joint
           Operations Greenfield Projects in Contract Area Block
           A or, as the case  may be, in any Year after the Cut-
           off Date, the revenues  from  Joint Operations, shall
           be suspended until such time as  the default has been
           remedied  and  until  such  time, such  proportionate
           share shall go to the Non-Defaulting  Participant(s),
           who  shall apply such share of the relevant  revenues
           or  (as   the  case  may  be)  Incremental  Expansion
           Cashflow first,  to make any contribution or meet any
           cash  calls  not  made   or  met  by  the  Defaulting
           Participant or made or met on its behalf, and second,
           to  pay  the  indebtedness  and  unpaid  and  accrued

interest thereon then owing by the Defaulting Participant to such Non-Defaulting Participant pursuant to Clause 6.3.2. The right of a Defaulting Participant to receive its proportionate share of the relevant revenues or (as the case may be) the Incremental Expansion Cashflow shall be reinstated at the first time when such Participant is not in default in its obligation to make a contribution or meet a cash call and all indebtedness and interest thereon arising out of the making by the Non- Defaulting Participant of Cover Payments has been paid in full.

6.3.2.1 The other Participant, by notice to the Defaulting Participant, may at any time, but shall not be obliged to, elect to make such contribution or meet such cash call on behalf of the Defaulting Participant (a "Cover Payment"). If more than one Cover Payment is made by the other Participant in relation to the same Contract Area Block, such Cover Payments shall be aggregated and the rights and remedies described herein pertaining to an individual Cover Payment shall be read to apply to the aggregated Cover Payments.

6.3.2.2 Each Cover Payment shall constitute indebtedness due from the Defaulting Participant to the Non-Defaulting Participant, which indebtedness, together with interest (calculated from the date of the Cover Payment at the rate specified in paragraph 10.3.3 of the Financial and Accounting Procedures) shall be payable upon demand.

6.3.2.3 If a Cover Payment shall have been made, upon the giving of not less than 5 days' prior notice to the Defaulting Participant, whether or not payment thereof has been demanded under Clause 6.3.2.2, the Non-Defaulting Participant may, but shall not be obliged to, elect to effect an adjustment of the Defaulting Participant's Participating Interest in the relevant Contract Area Block pursuant to this Clause 6.3.2.3; provided, however, that if within such 5 day period the Defaulting Participant shall evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Non-Defaulting Participant that it will have the funds to, and will, within 10 days of the expiry of such 5 day period, pay the indebtedness constituted by the Cover Payment together with interest accrued thereon pursuant to Clause 6.3.2.2 owing by the Defaulting Participant to the Non-Defaulting Participant, then such adjustment of Participating Interest may not be effected until the end of such additional 10 day period. If such election is made and such indebtedness has not been paid, at the expiration of such 5 day period, or, if applicable, at the end of such additional 10 day period, an amount equal to 125% times the Cover Payment shall be deducted from the Defaulting Participant's relevant Memorandum Equity Account for the relevant Contract Area Block and added to the relevant Memorandum Equity Account for that Contract Area Block of the Non-Defaulting Participant and the Participating Interests of the Participants shall be recalculated based on the relevant adjusted Memorandum Equity Accounts.

6.3.2.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, failure by PT-FI to make a contribution or respond to a cash call shall not constitute a default hereunder or give rise to any adjustment of PT-FI's or PT-RTZ's Memorandum Equity Account if such failure occurs prior to the time an aggregate sum of $750,000,000 has been spent on one or more Approved Expansion Projects and is

             attributable to the failure by PT-FI to receive
             advances under the RTZ Loan Agreement.

6.3.3              If as a consequence of the adjustment  of
       a Defaulting Participant's relevant Memorandum Equity
       Account   under   Clause   6.3.2.3  its  recalculated
       Participating Interest in Contract  Area  Block A or,
       as  the  case  may be, Contract Area Block B is  less
       than  10%  (such  adjustment  being  a  "Forced  Sale
       Adjustment"), then

       6.3.3.1 the Defaulting Participant shall be deemed to
             have elected  to withdraw from participation in
             Joint Operations  in  Contract Area Block A or,
             as the case may be, Contract Area Block B

       6.3.3.2 the Defaulting Participant  shall sell to the
             Non-Defaulting   Participant   and   the   Non-
             Defaulting  Participant shall buy  all  of  the
             Defaulting Participant's Participating Interest
             in Contract Area  Block  A  or, as the case may
             be, Contract Area Block B for  a price equal to

the Fair Market Value of the Defaulting Participant's Participating Interest in Contract Area Block A or, as the case may be, Contract Area Block B as at the date on which its Participating Interest first reduces below 10%

6.3.3.3 completion of the sale and purchase under Clause 6.3.3.2 shall take place within 90 days after establishment of the Fair Market Value. The Defaulting Participant shall be liable for all costs and expenses of the sale and purchase (other than the purchase price) and shall indemnify the Non-Defaulting Participant against all adverse tax consequences of the sale and purchase

6.3.3.4 for the purposes of Clause 6.3.3.2, the Fair Market Value of the Defaulting Participant's Participating Interest in Contract Area Block A or, as the case may be, Contract Area Block B means the amount determined by the Participants. Should the Participants be unable within 30 days after a Forced Sale Adjustment to agree as to the Fair Market Value of the Defaulting Participant's Participating Interest to be sold pursuant to Clause 6.3.3.2, the Participants shall, within 10 days after the expiration of such 30 day period, attempt to select one reasonably acceptable, internationally recognised independent investment bank to determine the Fair Market Value of the Defaulting Participant's Participating Interest, which determination shall be binding on all Participants. Should the Participants be unable to agree upon a mutually acceptable investment bank within such 10 day period, each of the Participants shall have 10 additional days to select one internationally recognised investment bank to determine the Fair Market Value of the Defaulting Participant's Participating Interest. Each such investment bank or, in default of selection by either Participant, the sole investment bank so selected shall, within 30 days of being requested to do so, determine the Fair Market Value of the Defaulting Participant's Participating Interest provided however that, where two such investment banks are so selected, the Fair Market Value of such interest shall be the average of their respective determinations if and only if the lower of the two determinations is at least 90% of the higher of the two determinations. If it is not, then such two investment banks shall select a third internationally recognised investment bank to determine the Fair Market Value of the Defaulting Participant's Participating Interest, and the Fair Market Value of such interest (i) shall be such third determination if such third determination is a figure between the two previous determinations;
(ii) shall be the lower of the two previous determinations if the third determination is lower than both the two previous determinations; and (iii) shall be the higher of the two previous determinations if the third determination is higher than both the two previous determinations. The Participants shall each pay 50% of the costs of the services and expenses of the investment bank(s)

6.3.3.5 upon completion of the sale and purchase under Clause 6.3.3.2 the Defaulting Participant shall cease to conduct any activities in Contract Area Block A or, as the case may be, Contract Area Block B (other than then existing Sole Risk Ventures and other than, in the case of PT-FI, PT-FI's rights with respect to the 10-K Reserves and any retained rights referred to in Clause 7.5) and shall surrender to the Non-Defaulting Participant the right to conduct all such activities

6.3.3.6 each of the Participants appoints the other its attorney, such appointment becoming effective upon its becoming a Defaulting Participant, with power in its name or otherwise to do all such things and sign or execute all such deeds or documents as may be necessary or desirable to complete any of the transactions referred to in this Clause 6.3.3, and (without limitation) for that purpose to appear in the name of the Defaulting Participant before any notary or other Government official in Indonesia; provided that such power of attorney shall not be deemed to apply to each Participant's rights under Clause 6.3.3.4.

6.4 Continuing Liabilities Upon Adjustment of the Participating Interests

Any reduction of a Participant's Participating Interest under this Clause 6 shall not relieve such Participant of its share of any Liability, whether it accrues before or after such reduction, arising out of Joint Operations in Contract Area Block A or, as the case may be, Contract Area Block B conducted after the Effective Date and prior to such reduction. For purposes of this Clause 6, such Participant's share of such Liability shall, subject to Clause 6.1 and the Financial and Accounting Procedures, be equal to its Participating Interest in the relevant Contract Area Block at the time such Liability was incurred. The increased Participating Interest accruing to a Participant as a result of the reduction of the other Participant's Participating Interest shall be free from Encumbrances arising by, through or under such other Participant, except those to which both Participants have given their written consent or are otherwise subject (including, without limitation, royalties payable under the COW). Each Participant's Participating Interest shall be shown in the books of the Operator.

7. COVENANTS AND RIGHTS

           returns  and reports (as determined from time to time
           by the Participants),  do so within a reasonable time
           before the latest day for  such  submission to permit
           time for review by PT-RTZ provided  that  tax returns
           shall not be included in this sub-Clause 7.2.4;

    7.2.5              Not, without the prior written consent of
           PT-RTZ, create or permit to exist any Encumbrance  on

           the lenders holding  Encumbrances referred to in (ii)
           and  (iii)  above  shall   have   executed  documents
           recognising  PT-RTZ's rights to the  same  extent  as
           have PT-FI's existing bank lenders in connection with
           this Agreement;

    7.2.6              Do  and  cause  to  be  done  all  things
           necessary  to  preserve  and  keep  in full force and
           effect its rights and authorisations  with respect to
           the  COW  and the Contract Area, at all times  comply
           with and cause  to  be  complied  with all applicable
           laws,  the  violation  of which would  be  materially
           adverse to the Enterprise  Operations  and obtain and
           maintain in full force and effect all authorisations,
           approvals,  consents,  licences  and exemptions  with
           respect  to the COW and the Contract  Area,  in  each
           case where  the  failure  to obtain or maintain which
           would be materially adverse to Enterprise Operations,
           promptly  effect  all  filings,   registrations   and
           notarisations  and  promptly  comply  with  all other
           requirements  in any such case which may at any  time
           be required with  respect to or under this Agreement,
           the COW and Enterprise Operations,  and the continued
           due  performance  of  its  obligations  hereunder  or
           thereunder or the validity  or enforceability of this
           Agreement and the COW, and PT-RTZ  shall  provide  to
           PT-FI  all  such  information in relation to PT-RTZ's
           participation  in  Joint   Operations  as  PT-FI  may
           reasonably  require  and  which   is   not  otherwise
           available  to  PT-FI  in  order  to  enable PT-FI  to
           fulfill its obligations under this Clause 7.2.6;

    7.2.7              Notify PT-RTZ immediately  upon  becoming
           aware  of  the  actual  or  threatened  revocation or
           variation of any such authorisation as is referred to
           in Clause 7.2.6;

    7.2.8              Without the prior written consent  of PT-
           RTZ,  not  agree  to  any  waiver or amendment of the
           terms of the COW which would  have a material adverse
           effect on PT-RTZ's Participating Interest;

    7.2.9              Not  take any action,  including  actions

using the PT-FI Available Assets, which would prejudice either the institution, completion or operation of any first Approved Expansion Project as described in Clause 10.5 and any projects of Expansion thereafter or any activity of PT-FI

           authorised hereunder;

    7.2.10             Make available the PT-FI Available Assets
           and  its  right, title and interest in and under  the
           COW and all authorisations issued pursuant to the COW
           for their use in Joint Operations on a first priority
           basis with  respect  to  any  PT-FI  Available Assets
           which  are  not,  at  the  time, being employed  with
           respect to activities permitted by Clause 7.5, and on
           a shared basis that reflects  equitably  the needs of
           the  parties  with  respect  to other PT-FI Available
           Assets;

    7.2.11             Without prejudice to any other provisions
           of this Agreement, not take any  action or permit any
           action to be taken which will affect  materially  and
           adversely  PT-RTZ's  Participating Interest but PT-FI
           shall not be deemed to  be  in  breach of this Clause
           merely  because it exercises any right  contained  in
           Clauses 6.3 and 15 of this Agreement.

7.3        PT-RTZ Covenant

           PT-RTZ covenants  and agrees with PT-FI that, without
    the prior written consent  of  PT-FI,  it will not create or
    permit to exist any Encumbrance on or Dispose, except in the
    ordinary course of business, of the whole or any part of the
    interests assigned in the Assignment or  the  Joint  Account
    Assets,  or violate any applicable law if the effect thereof
    would be materially  adverse  to  the  Enterprise Operations
    provided that PT-RTZ may create Encumbrances  in  favour  of
    project  lenders  on  PT-RTZ's  share  of  the Joint Account
    Assets or, with PT-FI's consent, on all of the Joint Account
    Assets.

7.4        Power of Attorney

           Each  of the Participants hereby appoints  the  other
    Participant its  attorney in its name or otherwise to do all
    such things and sign  or execute all such deeds or documents
    as  may be necessary or  desirable  to  cure  any  and  each
    default by that Participant under the COW or, in the case of
    PT-RTZ,  its  assigned  interest  in  the  COW  and (without
    limitation)  to  appear in the name of the appointor  before
    any notary or other Government official in Indonesia.

7.5        Retained PT-FI Rights

    7.5.1              Existing Operations

           7.5.1.1 Subject  to  Clause 7.5.1.2, PT-FI shall have
                 the  right, without  the  need  to  obtain  the
                 consent  of  PT-RTZ,  to  continue  to carry on
                 Mining  activities  with  the use of the  PT-FI
                 Available Assets, including  activities  which,
                 through  optimisation  or  fine  tuning  of its
                 operations   and   facilities,  may  result  in
                 treatment of ore at a rate in excess of 118,000
                 tonnes per day and shall  have the right to use
                 and make changes to the PT-FI  Available Assets
                 so long as such activities do not prejudice the
                 undertaking  of  the  first Approved  Expansion
                 Project at the current  millsite,  as described
                 in Clause 10.5.

           7.5.1.2   PT-FI  will  not  undertake  any  Expansion
                 project  (as  opposed  to  optimisation or fine
                 tuning) in Contract Area Block  A other than as
                 part  of  Joint  Operations or take  any  other
                 action which will  prejudice the undertaking of
                 the  first Approved Expansion  Project  at  the
                 current  millsite, provided that, if no project

for Expansion which meets the criteria specified in, or agreed pursuant to, Clause 10.5 has been proposed by PT-RTZ to the Operating Committee before the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, the following provisions shall apply:

(i) the foregoing limitation on PT- FI's ability to enter into an Expansion project other than as part of Joint Operations shall no longer be applicable,

(ii) PT-FI shall be entitled to enter into such a project either as a Sole Risk Venture or, if it elects at its option to offer PT-RTZ a right of participation and PT-RTZ accepts such offer, as part of Joint Operations, in which latter event, RTZ Lender shall remain obliged to make available the loan funds contemplated by the RTZ Loan Agreement, and

(iii) except as set out in the immediately preceding item (ii), PT-RTZ will not have a right to participate in any revenues from nor will it be obliged to contribute to any costs in respect of Contract Area Block A, even after the Cut-off Date, except with respect to Joint Operations Greenfield Projects and Sole Risk Ventures in Contract Area Block A in which PT-RTZ has participated.

7.5.1.3 PT-FI shall be entitled to receive and retain 100% of all revenues, including Sales Revenues, from Contract Area Block A:

(i) prior to the Sharing Commencement Date, except for any revenues from Joint Operations Greenfield Projects and Sole Risk Ventures in which PT-RTZ shall have participated, and

(ii) from the Sharing Commencement Date until the Cut-Off Date, except for Incremental Expansion Revenues and any revenues from Joint Operations Greenfield Projects and Sole Risk Ventures in which PT-RTZ shall have participated.

7.5.2 Privatisation Agreements Without prejudice and subject to the covenants on the part of PT-FI contained in Clause 7.2, PT-FI shall have the right, without the need to obtain the consent of PT- RTZ, to conduct activities in accordance with the Privatisation Agreements existing on the Effective Date or described in Schedule 1 provided that the consent of PT-RTZ shall be obtained prior to any material change in the terms thereof which results in an increase in the burdens of PT-FI thereunder, other than as described in Schedule 1. The Participants will discuss the possibility of future agreements in the nature of Privatisation Agreements on the basis of the financial requirements of the Participants. If PT-FI wishes to sell and lease back further of the PT-FI Available Assets (as part of such future agreements or otherwise) or to sell any part thereof reasonably deemed by it to be surplus to its requirements in relation to Enterprise Operations, it shall be permitted to do so provided such action does not affect materially and adversely the institution, completion or operation of any Approved Expansion Projects or the availability of the use of such assets, if required, for Joint Operations.

8. COMMITTEES

8.1        Exploration Committees

           The Participants  will,  not  later  than thirty days
    after  the  Effective  Date,  establish  both an Exploration
    Committee  for  Contract  Area  Block  A and an  Exploration
    Committee  for  Contract  Area  Block  B, in  each  case  to
    determine overall policies, objectives,  procedures, methods
    and actions for incurring the Exploration  Costs.  Until the
    Exploration Obligation has been satisfied, each  Participant

may appoint two members to each of the Exploration Committees. Once the Exploration Obligation has been satisfied, PT-FI may appoint an additional member to each of the Exploration Committees. Each Participant may appoint

    one  or  more alternates to act in the absence of a  regular
    member.  Any  alternate  so acting shall be deemed a member.
    Appointments shall be made  or  changed by written notice to
    the other Participant.

8.2        Operating Committee

           PT-FI  shall  establish  an Operating  Committee  to,
    among other things:

    (i)           receive reports on  all  operations within the
         Contract Area, including Joint Operations,

    (ii)          design  for  presentation  to  the  boards  of
         directors  of  PT-FI  and  PT-RTZ  appropriate  actions
         respecting the Joint Operations,

    (iii) develop plans and make recommendations to the board of
         directors of PT-FI,

    (iv)          monitor  execution of plans  approved  by  the
         board of directors of PT-FI, and

    (v)           subject  to   the  control  of  the  board  of
         directors of PT-FI, be involved  generally in directing
         day-to-day operations of the business of PT-FI, but will
         not determine policies, objectives, procedures,  methods
         and actions for incurring Exploration  Costs, which will
         continue to be  determined by the  relevant  Exploration
         Committee.  The Operating Committee will have three members,
         comprising the Chief Operating Officer of PT-FI as Chairman,
         the  General  Manager  (Mining Operations) of PT-FI and  one
         member appointed by PT-RTZ.   Each  of  PT-FI and PT-RTZ may
         appoint one or more alternates to act in  the absence of the
         regular  member  appointed by it.  Any alternate  so  acting
         shall be deemed a  member.   Appointments  shall  be made or
         changed by written notice to the other Committee members.

8.3        Other Committees

           A  special  Tax  Committee  will  be  established  to
    administer the provisions of Clause 16.13 of this Agreement.
    Other committees may be established as required on which PT-
    FI   shall  be  entitled  to  have  majority  representation
    provided  that, on any committee established in respect of a
    Sole Risk Programme  undertaken  by  PT-RTZ, PT-RTZ shall be
    entitled to have majority representation  and that PT-FI and
    PT-RTZ shall be entitled to have equal representation on the
    special Tax Committee.

8.4        Quorum

           At any Committee meetings, a quorum  will  exist if a
    representative   of  each  Participant  is  present  at  the
    meeting.  If at the  time a meeting is convened, a quorum is
    not present, the meeting  may,  upon  notice  to the parties
    entitled to be represented at the meeting, be adjourned to a
    date  no  sooner  than  twenty  nor  later than thirty  days
    following such originally scheduled meeting.   Those members
    who  attend  the  rescheduled  meeting  shall  be deemed  to
    constitute  a quorum and may adopt any resolutions  or  take
    any other action  not  inconsistent  with  the provisions of
    this Agreement.

8.5        Decisions

           Each party entitled to be represented, acting through
    its  appointed  members, shall have a vote on  a  Committee.
    Each  member of a  Committee  shall  have  one  vote.   With
    respect  to the approval of an Approved Expansion Project or
    of Programmes  and  Budgets,  the  function of the Operating
    Committee will be to recommend the same  for the approval of
    the  boards  of  directors  of, in the case of  an  Approved
    Expansion Project, PT-FI, FCX and PT-RTZ and, in the case of
    Programmes and Budgets, PT-FI  and  PT-RTZ.   No project for
    Expansion shall be an Approved Expansion Project  unless and
    until it has been approved by the boards of directors of PT-
    FI,  FCX and PT-RTZ (and each project of Expansion shall  be
    an Approved  Expansion  Project  if  and when it has been so
    approved) or is otherwise an Approved  Expansion  Project in
    accordance  with  Clause 10.3   and  no Programme and Budget
    shall be an Approved Programme and Budget  unless  and until
    it has been approved by the boards of directors of PT-FI and
    PT-RTZ.   Subject  to  the foregoing, all decisions of  each
    Committee shall be taken  by simple majority vote of members
    present  in person or by proxy  except  that  all  decisions
    relating  to   Approved   Expansion  Projects,  including  a
    decision regarding a material  departure  from  the scope or
    cost  of  any Approved Expansion Project, shall, subject  to
    Clause 10.3, require the approval of representatives of both
    Participants.

8.6        Meetings

           The  Operator  shall  call  the first meetings of the
    Exploration Committees within thirty  days  of the formation
    thereof.   The purpose of such first meetings  shall  be  to
    propose and  agree  the  first  Programme and Budget for the
    remainder  of that Year provided that  until  such  a  first
    Programme and Budget has been agreed, Exploration activities

will be conducted in accordance with the Exploration programme for 1995 in existence at the date of the Implementation Agreement or, if this Agreement is executed after 31 December 1995, the then existing Exploration programme of PT-FI which does not cover a period in excess of 12 months. Thereafter the Exploration Committees and the Operating Committee shall hold at least four meetings per Year, one of which shall be in December to propose the relevant Programme and Budget for the subsequent calendar year (the "Annual Budget Meeting"). The Operator shall give thirty days' notice to the Participants of each meeting. Additionally, any Participant or the Operator may call a special meeting upon fifteen days' notice to the other Participant(s) and to the Operator if the Operator is not calling the meeting. In case of emergency, reasonable notice of a special meeting shall suffice. All meetings shall be held in a mutually agreed place, failing which in New Orleans. Each notice of a meeting shall include an itemised agenda prepared by the Operator in the case of a regular meeting, or by the Participant calling the meeting in the case of a special meeting, but any matters may be considered with the consent of the Participants. The

    Operator  shall  prepare minutes of all meetings  and  shall
    distribute copies of such minutes to the Participants within
    thirty days after  the meeting.  The minutes, when signed by
    all Participants (and  no  signature  shall  be unreasonably
    withheld  or delayed), shall be the official record  of  the
    decisions made  by  a  Committee and shall be binding on the
    Participants and on the  Operator.  Each of the Participants
    shall  bear  its  own costs of  attendance  at  meetings  of
    Committees.  The Operator shall be entitled to be present at
    all meetings of a Committee  unless such Committee otherwise
    resolves but the Operator shall not be counted in the quorum
    or be entitled to vote in its capacity as Operator.

8.7        Action Without Meeting

           In lieu of meetings, a  Committee  may hold telephone
    conferences,  so  long  as  all  decisions  are  immediately
    confirmed in writing and signed by all the parties  entitled
    to  be  represented  at  meetings  of that Committee, and  a
    member appointed by each party entitled to be represented at
    meetings of that Committee has a reasonable  opportunity  to
    be included in any such conference.

8.8        Close-down

    8.8.1              If  either  Participant  shall  determine
           that,  in  its best judgment, Close-down shall  occur
           within 11 years thereafter, it shall notify the other
           Participant  and  the Operator.  Within 30 days after
           receipt of notice of  such  determination,  the other
           Participant   shall   notify  the  first  Participant
           whether or not it agrees with such determination.  If
           there is a disagreement as to such determination, the
           Participants shall seek  to achieve a mutually agreed
           expected date of Close-down  (an  "Anticipated Close-
           down  Date").  In the absence of such  an  agreement,

the dispute shall be referred to the firm of independent mining consultants which has most recently reviewed and confirmed the reserves in the Contract Area for Form 10-K reporting purposes, whose determination as to the Anticipated Close-down Date shall be binding on both Participants.

8.8.2 Within 90 days after a final determination of the Anticipated Close-down Date, the Operator shall deliver to the Participants its best estimate of the anticipated Close-down Costs. In December of the Year in which such determination of the Anticipated Close-down Date shall have been finally determined, and in December of each of the nine subsequent Years, each Participant shall secure the payment of 10% of the Close-down Costs payable by such Participant (in accordance with the Financial and Accounting Procedures), by such methods as shall be determined by agreement of the Participants or, in the absence of agreement, by (i) the purchase of bonds with an investment rating of A (or the then equivalent rating) or better and (ii) the delivery of such bonds to the Trustee under the Trust Agreement or such other trustee as shall be agreed by the Participants. The proceeds of such bonds or other form of security shall be made available, as required, to pay such Close-down Costs.

         8.8.3              In  the  case of a Sole Risk Venture, the
                Participant undertaking  the  Sole Risk Venture shall
                provide  for  the  anticipated  Close-down  Costs  as
                provided  in  Clauses  8.8.1  and  8.8.2,  unless  an
                alternate method of funding Close-down Costs has been
                approved by the non-Participating Participant(s).

9. OPERATOR

Except as provided in Clauses 9.5 and 12.2, PT-FI shall be the Operator for all operations under the COW or this Agreement. The Operator shall report to the Committees.

9.2        Powers and Duties of Operator

           Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and other
    agreements  which the Participants have agreed to be binding
    with respect  to  all  or part of Enterprise Operations, the
    Operator  shall, in addition  to  those  powers  and  duties
    contained elsewhere  in  this  Agreement, have the following
    powers and duties which shall be  discharged  in  accordance
    with each Programme and Budget:

    9.2.1              The  Operator  shall  manage, direct  and
           conduct Enterprise Operations.

    9.2.2              The Operator shall prepare and present to
           each  member  of  the appropriate Committee  proposed

           10.1 of the Financial and Accounting Procedures.

9.2.3 The Operator shall make cash calls as provided in paragraph 10.3 of the Financial and Accounting Procedures and on receipt of amounts from the Participants pursuant to paragraph 10.3 of the Financial and Accounting Procedures shall make all expenditures necessary to carry out Approved Programmes and Budgets and shall promptly advise the relevant Committee if it lacks sufficient funds to carry out its responsibilities under this Agreement. Any payments made by the Operator pursuant to this Agreement shall be for the account of the

       Participants and the Operator shall not  be  required
       as Operator to advance its own funds for the purposes
       of conducting Joint Operations.

9.2.4              The Operator shall make distributions  of
       cashflow as provided in this Agreement (including the
       Financial  and  Accounting Procedures) and should the
       Operator default in making any such distributions and
       the default continues  for  30 days after (i) (in the
       absence of any dispute or, in the event of a dispute,
       as  regards the undisputed amount)  notice  from  any
       Participant of non-payment or (ii) (in the event of a
       dispute,   as   to   the   disputed   amount)   final
       determination  of  such  amount  as  provided  in the
       Financial  and Accounting Procedures, any Participant

9.2.6              The Operator  shall sell on behalf of the
       Participants with an interest  in  such Products, the
       Products derived from Enterprise Operations  on terms
       which shall be discussed with such Participants.   In
       carrying  out  its  obligations  pursuant  to  Clause
       9.2.6,  the  Operator  shall conduct such hedging and
       other price protection activities  as  are authorised
       by the relevant Participant with an interest  in such
       Products.   However,  the  costs and benefits of such
       price  protection activities  shall  be  specifically
       allocated  to  and  borne  solely  by the authorising
       Participant.

9.2.7              The Operator shall:

       (a)             purchase  or  otherwise  acquire  all
            material,  supplies, equipment,  water,  utility
            and   transportation   services   required   for
            operations,  such  purchases and acquisitions to
            be  made on such terms  as  the  Operator  shall
            prudently  approve,  taking  into account all of
            the  circumstances, including the  existence  of
            prior agreements and arrangements;

       (b)             obtain  such customary warranties and
            guarantees as are available  in  connection with
            such  purchases  and  acquisitions, taking  into
            account all of the circumstances; and

       (c)             keep the Joint  Account  Assets  free
            and  clear of all Encumbrances, except for those
            existing  at  the time of, or created concurrent
            with,  the acquisition  of  such  Joint  Account
            Assets and  those  which are otherwise permitted
            by this Agreement, including  Clause  7.2.5,  or
            with the consent of the Participants.

9.2.8              The  Operator  shall: (a) make or arrange
       for all payments required by the COW, leases, claims,
       grants, permits, licences, concessions, contracts and
       other agreements related to the Joint Account Assets;
       (b) pay all Taxes, assessments  and  like  charges on
       Enterprise Operations and Joint Account Assets except
       Taxes  determined or measured by a Participant's  net
       income subject to the provisions of Clause 14 and (c)
       do all other  acts  reasonably  necessary to maintain
       the Joint Account Assets and the COW.

9.2.9              The Operator shall:   (a)  apply  for all
       necessary permits, licences and approvals; (b) comply
       with  applicable  laws  and  regulations;  (c) notify
       promptly the relevant Committee of any allegations of
       substantial  violation  thereof; and (d) prepare  and
       file  all  reports  or  notices  required  for  Joint
       Operations.  The Operator  shall  not be in breach of
       this provision if a violation has occurred  in  spite
       of  the  Operator's good faith efforts to comply, and
       the Operator has in a timely manner cured or disposed
       of such violation.

9.2.10             The  Operator shall prosecute and defend,

but shall not initiate without consulting the Participants any litigation or administrative proceedings arising out of Joint Operations. The Participants shall have the right to participate, at their own expense, in such litigation or administrative proceedings.

9.2.11 The Operator shall maintain for the account of the Participants with respect to the Joint Operations such basic insurance as it shall reasonably deem to be necessary for prudent operation (details of which it shall supply to each Participant) and, to the extent practicable, shall also make available, at the individual Participant's cost and for the individual Participant's benefit, such additional insurance, including business interruption insurance, as the individual Participants shall desire. The premium for such basic insurance will be a charge to the Participation and for such additional insurance to the Participant(s) requesting the same. No other insurance shall be provided for the benefit of the Participants. However, after consultation with the other Participant, any Participant may procure and maintain at its cost and expense such other insurance as it shall determine and such other insurance shall be solely for the benefit of the Participant procuring the same and the premium therefor shall not be a charge to the Participation. Further, such insured Participant shall indemnify the other

       Participants  not named as insured in such additional
       insurance policy  against any claim of the insurer by
       subrogation or otherwise.

9.2.12             Except  where  the  Operator is expressly
       permitted to Dispose of Joint Account  Assets  by the
       terms of this Agreement, the Operator may not Dispose
       of Joint Account Assets, whether by sale, assignment,
       abandonment or other transfer, except in the ordinary
       course  of  business  or  with  the  agreement of the
       Participants.

9.2.13 The Operator shall have the right (subject to Clause 9.6) to carry out its

       responsibilities hereunder through agents, Affiliates
       or independent contractors.

9.2.14             The Operator shall keep  and maintain all
       accounting  and financial records in accordance  with
       the Financial and Accounting Procedures.

9.2.15 The persons employed in the Joint Operations will not be employees of the Participation.

9.2.16 At all reasonable times, the Operator shall provide the relevant Committee or the representative of any Participant, upon request, access to, and the right to inspect and copy all information acquired in Joint Operations, including, but not limited to, maps, drill logs, core tests, reports, surveys, assays, analyses, production reports, operations, technical, accounting and financial records. In addition, the Operator shall allow each Participant, at its sole risk and expense, and subject to reasonable safety regulations, to inspect the Joint Account Assets and observe Enterprise Operations at all reasonable times, so long as the inspecting Participant does not unreasonably interfere with Enterprise Operations.

9.2.17 The Operator shall undertake all other activities reasonably necessary to fulfill the foregoing.

           The  Operator  shall  not be in default of its duties
    under this Clause 9.2 if its inability  to  perform  results
    from the failure of either Participant to perform acts or to
    contribute  amounts  required  of  it by this Agreement, but
    this shall not relieve any Participant which is the Operator
    of any liability in its capacity as a Participant.

9.3        No Fee

           Except as otherwise agreed or  provided  for  in  the
    Financial  and Accounting Procedures, the Operator shall not
    be entitled  to  any fee or other compensation for acting as
    Operator.

9.4        Standard of Care

           The Operator  shall conduct all Enterprise Operations
    (including the marketing of Products) in a good, workmanlike
    and efficient manner,  in  accordance  with sound mining and
    other applicable industry standards and  practices,  and  in
    accordance with applicable laws, the terms and provisions of
    the  COW  and  any  leases, licences, permits, contracts and
    other agreements pertaining  to  the  Joint  Account Assets.
    Without  prejudice  to the generality of the foregoing,  the
    Operator shall maintain  in  good working order all material
    assets taken as a whole from time to time used in Enterprise
    Operations or Sole Risk Ventures.  The Operator shall not be
    liable to any Participant for  any  act  or  omission in its
    capacity  as  Participant  (insofar as such act or  omission
    relates to conduct of operations in the Contract Area) or as
    Operator resulting in damage  or  loss  except to the extent
    caused by or attributable to its  wilful misconduct or gross
    negligence.

9.5        Resignation; Deemed Offer to Resign

           The Operator may resign upon 90 days'  prior  notice.
    In  addition,  the Operator shall be deemed to have resigned
    forthwith upon an  Event  of  Resignation,  as defined below
    and, as provided in the Operator Replacement  Agreement, PT-
    RTZ shall, if at the time of such Event of Resignation,  PT-
    RTZ  is  not  the  Operator  and  is  an  indirect or direct
    subsidiary  of  RTZ,  have  the  right to become  substitute
    Operator in succession to PT-FI with  respect  to  the  COW.
    Similarly,  if the Operator shall resign upon 90 days' prior
    notice, PT-RTZ  will  have  the  right to become Operator in
    succession to PT-FI with respect to the COW if PT-RTZ is not
    then  the Operator and shall at the  time  be  a  direct  or
    indirect  subsidiary  of  RTZ.   For  the  purposes  of this
    Agreement,  an  Event  of  Resignation shall mean one of the
    following occurrences:

    9.5.1              an Event  of  Default shall have occurred
           under an FI Credit Document  (as defined in the Trust
           Agreement)   which   gives  the  Operator   Selection
           Representative a right under the Operator Replacement
           Agreement to cause PT-FI  to  resign  as Operator and
           such Operator Selection Representative has elected to
           exercise such right; or

    9.5.2              the Government has given PT-FI  a  notice
           of default under Article 20 of the COW and PT-FI  has
           not  within  30  days  (unless the default relates to
           failure to make payments pursuant to Article 12 or 13
           of the COW, in which event  20  days)  after  receipt
           thereof either corrected such default or obtained the
           withdrawal   or  stay  of  such  notice,  unless  the
           question has been  submitted to arbitration, in which
           event it shall be an  Event  of  Resignation if PT-FI
           has not corrected such default within  10  days after
           affirmation of such default by arbitration; or

    9.5.3              FCX and its Affiliates shall cease to own
           at  least such number of shares of the capital  stock
           of PT-FI  as  shall  permit FCX and its Affiliates to
           elect a majority of the board of directors and of the
           board of commissioners of PT-FI; or

    9.5.4              any person shall, except with the consent
           of RTZ, acquire such number  of shares of the capital
           stock of FCX as shall permit such  person  to elect a
           majority of the board of directors of FCX; or

    9.5.5              a general meeting of shareholders  of the
           Operator resolves that the Operator be liquidated  or
           the  Operator  suffers the appointment of a receiver,
           liquidator,   administrator,   assignee,   custodian,
           trustee,  sequestrator  or  similar  official  for  a
           substantial  part  of  its  assets  in  a  proceeding

brought against or initiated by it, and such appointment is neither made ineffective nor discharged within ninety days after the making thereof or such appointment is consented to, requested by or acquiesced in by it; or

9.5.6 the Operator commences a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law now or hereafter in effect; or consents to the entry of an order of relief in an involuntary case under any such law or to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, administrator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of any

           substantial  part  of  its assets; or makes a general
           assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

    9.5.7              entry is made  against  the Operator of a
           judgment, decree or order for relief  by  a  court of
           competent   jurisdiction   in   an  involuntary  case
           commenced against the Operator under  any  applicable
           bankruptcy,  insolvency or other similar law  of  any
           jurisdiction now or hereafter in effect.

9.6        Transactions With Affiliates

           If  the  Operator  engages  an  Affiliate  of  either

Participant to provide services hereunder or to perform any of the obligations of the Operator, it shall do so on terms no more favourable to the Affiliate than would be the case with an unrelated person in an arm's length transaction provided that arrangements with Affiliates consistent with the Management Services Agreement presently in existence between Freeport-McMoRan Inc. and PT-FI or between FCX and PT-FI, and substitute arrangements no more onerous to PT-FI, shall not constitute a violation of the foregoing.

10. FEASIBILITY STUDY INTO EXPANSION

10.1 At such time (whether before or after the Effective Date) as a Participant is of the good faith and reasonable opinion that an economically viable project of Expansion or Development may be possible in any area of the Contract Area (the "Specified Area") (the "Expansion Project"), such Participant (the "Proposing Participant") may propose that a Feasibility Study be prepared to assess the economic viability of such Expansion Project. Such proposal (the "Proposal") shall be made to the Operating Committee and shall detail the information upon which the Proposing Participant has based its opinion. The Specified Area shall be defined in terms of a three-dimensional physical description.

Within 30 days following the Operating Committee's receipt of the Proposal, the Operating Committee shall vote whether to authorise the Operator to conduct a Feasibility Study relating to such Proposal, except that, if the Proposal relates to an Expansion Project which satisfies the criteria specified in, or agreed pursuant to, Clause 10.5 and would be the first Approved Expansion Project, such approval shall be deemed to have been given. If the Operating Committee approves the Proposal, the Operator shall conduct a Feasibility Study relating thereto. If the Operating Committee does not approve the Proposal, the Proposing Participant may, at its sole risk and expense, proceed with the project as described in the Proposal as a Sole Risk Programme, to which the provisions of this Agreement relating to Sole Risk Programmes and Sole Risk Ventures shall apply.

10.2 Upon completion of any such Feasibility Study as is referred to in Clause 10.1 (including any initiated before the Effective Date and completed after the Effective Date), the Operator will deliver a copy of the results thereof to the Operating Committee and to the boards of directors of FCX, PT-FI and PT-RTZ respectively. Within 90 days following receipt of such results or, if the Expansion Project does not involve project financing on a joint basis and is not to be financed through the proceeds of the RTZ Loan Agreement, then within such additional reasonable period of time, not exceeding six months, as shall be necessary for either Participant to receive assurance of necessary financing, the boards of directors of FCX and PT- FI, on one hand, and of PT-RTZ, on the other, shall either

10.2.1 approve, and authorise the commencement of construction of, the Expansion Project in

       accordance with its terms;

10.2.2             agree  in  principle  that  the Expansion
       Project  be  carried  out  as  Joint  Operations  but
       disagree as to scope or related Budget; or

10.2.3             decline to approve the Expansion Project.

10.3 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, for a period of ten years from the date hereof, PT-RTZ shall have the sole right (i) to propose as the subject of a Feasibility Study an Expansion Project which satisfies the criteria specified in, or agreed pursuant to, Clause 10.5 and which would be the first Approved Expansion Project and (ii) to determine that the Expansion Project which is the subject of such Feasibility Study shall be the first Approved Expansion Project, for which purpose the approval of the board of directors of PT- FI shall be deemed to have been given. Accordingly, whether or not the board of directors of PT-FI or the board of directors of FCX approve such Expansion Project, such Expansion Project shall, provided it is approved by the board of directors of PT-RTZ, be an Approved Expansion Project for all purposes of this Agreement.

10.4 Except in relation to the Expansion Project falling within Clause 10.3 as to which the provisions of Clause 10.3 shall apply, if the boards of directors of FCX, PT-FI and PT-RTZ do not agree on the scope and Budget of an Expansion Project as mentioned in Clause 10.2.2, the matter shall be left open for an additional period of 30 days to allow for further discussion. If the boards of directors shall decline to approve the Expansion Project within such 30 day period, the board of directors of the Proposing Participant may, within a further period of 30 days thereafter by notice to the other Participant and the Operator elect, subject, in the case of PT-FI, to the limitation specified in Clause 7.5.1.2, to carry out such Expansion Project as a sole risk venture (a "Sole Risk Programme") and, unless the other Participant, within a further period of 30 days after receipt of the Proposing Participant's notice of election, elects by written notice to the Proposing Participant and the Operator to join in such Sole Risk Programme (in which case the Expansion Project shall become part of Joint Operations), the Proposing Participant shall have the right to carry out the Expansion Project as a Sole Risk Venture provided that it commences work within one year after the date of its written election to carry out such Expansion Project as a Sole Risk Venture, and provided further that, in the case of any Sole Risk Programme carried out by PT- RTZ, unless PT-RTZ has obtained the prior written consent of PT-FI, the Sole Risk Programme is not based to any significant degree on the accelerated mining of the 10-K Reserves.

10.5 No project shall be capable of being the first Approved Expansion Project unless it is a project for Expansion which is (a) based on the aggregate of (i) the 10-K Reserves and (ii) New Reserves of not less than 400,000,000 tonnes containing an average of 0.5% copper and 0.5 grammes/tonne of gold (or the economic equivalent thereof), unless FCX and PT-RTZ shall agree that a smaller reserve would suffice and
(b) designed to result in the treatment of ore mined from the aggregate resources in Contract Area Block A (being both the 10-K Reserves and the above-mentioned New Reserves) at an aggregate rate in excess of 118,000 tonnes per day. In this Clause 10.5, "New Reserves" means proved and probable ore reserves situated in Contract Area Block A which are additional to the 10-K Reserves.

11. GREENFIELD PROJECTS AND LATER EXPANSION PROJECTS

11.1 The Participants will plan together, in accordance with the procedures set out in Clause 10, the Development of any new Greenfield Project in Contract Area Block A or Contract Area Block B, and any project of Expansion which is to be funded wholly without the use of the proceeds of the RTZ Loan and the related direct investment by PT-RTZ. The procedures outlined in Clause 10 and the Financial and Accounting Procedures will be applicable.

11.2 If any project referred to in Clause 11.1 is to be developed as part of Joint Operations, the financing of such project, insofar as it is not to be funded by way of the RTZ Loan and the related direct investment by PT-RTZ, will be either on a joint basis, in which event the financing costs will be part of the Operating Costs for purposes of the Financial and Accounting Procedures, or on an individual basis, in which event each Participant will be solely liable for its financing costs but will be entitled to determine the form which such financing will take, including, if such Participant so desires, sale and leaseback transactions so long as such transactions relate solely to such Participant's interest in the Joint Account Assets and do not prejudice or unduly interfere with the carrying on of Enterprise Operations or previously established Sole Risk Ventures. The costs and benefits of any such project carried on as part of Joint Operations will, subject to the above provisions of this Clause 11.2 and Clause 6.1 and the Financial and Accounting Procedures, be borne by the Participants in proportion to their respective Participating Interests in Contract Area Block A or Contract Area Block B, as the case may be.

11.3 If, pursuant to the procedures set out in Clause 10, any project referred to in Clause 11.1 is not to be developed as part of Joint Operations, either Participant may treat the project as a Sole Risk Venture under the provisions of Clauses 10 and 12.

12. SOLE RISK

12.1 If a Proposing Participant shall proceed with a Sole Risk Programme and unless otherwise agreed by the Participants, for so long as the Sole Risk Programme continues or the Proposing Participant continues to conduct operations on its own account in the Specified Area:

12.1.1             the  Specified Area shall not be eligible
       for Joint Operations  and  the  Proposing Participant
       shall have the exclusive right to  carry out the Sole
       Risk Programme and any subsequent work  programmes as
       it  may think fit in the Specified Area at  its  sole
       risk and cost and the other Participant shall, to the
       extent necessary and so far as it is able and without
       prejudice  to  the  existing  Enterprise  Operations,
       provide  full  rights of ingress, egress and  regress
       to,  from  and  over   the  Specified  Area  and  the
       remainder of the Contract  Area so that the Proposing
       Participant   may  exercise  such   right.    Without
       prejudice to the  generality of the foregoing, to the
       extent that the Sole Risk Venture requires the use of
       PT-FI  Available Assets  PT-FI  support  services  or
       Joint Account Assets, and the use of these assets and
       support services does not prejudice then or later the
       conduct  of  Enterprise Operations, each of PT-FI and
       PT-RTZ  (as  appropriate)  will  make  available  and
       charge  to the  Sole  Risk  Venture  the  direct  and
       allocable   costs   of   providing  such  assets  and
       services;

12.1.2             the  Participant   which   is   not   the
       Proposing  Participant shall cease to have any rights
       to the production  of  Minerals or proceeds therefrom
       from operations in the Specified  Area  provided that
       the  rights of the Proposing Participant will  relate
       solely  to  the  obtaining of exclusive rights to the
       proved and probable reserves in the three-dimensional
       physical area of the  Specified Area, as described in
       the Feasibility Study with  respect to the project in
       question, to the extent such  reserves constitute the

basis for the project, as presented to the Participants pursuant to Clause 10, but will not thereby obtain rights with respect to any other reserves. Any further Expansion within the Specified Area, but not constituting part of the Sole Risk Programme, will be subject to the procedure provided in Clause 11 for approval of Programmes, but with protections afforded to the holder of the Sole Risk Programme which are comparable to those afforded PT- FI with respect to the 10-K Reserves and the related PT-FI Available Assets.

12.2 All Sole Risk Programmes shall be conducted by the Operator appointed under this Agreement, unless it declines to act as operator with respect thereto, in which event the operator with respect thereto shall be the person designated as operator by the Participant for whose account the Sole Risk Venture is being conducted, subject to the reasonable approval of PT-FI. The Operator or other operator shall have, with respect to the Sole Risk Venture, the same powers, rights and obligations as are applicable to the Operator's activities with respect to Enterprise Operations. In the event of any conflict between the conduct of Enterprise Operations and a Sole Risk Programme, the Operator shall give priority to Enterprise Operations.

12.3 Should the Operator conduct a Sole Risk Programme on behalf of a Participant which is not also the Operator, the charges provided for in the Financial and Accounting Procedures with respect to such Sole Risk Programme shall be payable or repayable to the Operator upon demand. The Operator shall be authorised to establish such procedures as are reasonably necessary to obtain such payments from revenues otherwise payable to such Participant or to issue cash calls with respect thereto to such Participant.

12.4 Should the board of directors of any Participant determine, in any Year, not to participate in the proposed Exploration Programme for such Year as recommended by the Exploration Committee, or if no Programme is recommended by the Committee, the board of directors of either Participant may elect, upon 30 days' notice after having submitted a proposed Exploration Programme to the other Participant, to carry out such Programme as a Sole Risk Venture, unless within such period the other Participant elects to join in such Programme. If no such election by the other Participant is made,

(a) if the proposed Programme is in Contract Area Block B, the declining Participant shall not be entitled to participate in that or any subsequent Exploration Programmes or in any subsequent Development Projects in Contract Area Block B other than any Development Projects already begun or pursuant to Exploration Programmes and subsequent Development Projects based on Feasibility Studies which have theretofore been approved, and

(b) if the proposed Programme is in Contract Area Block A, the absence of any such election by the other Participant shall not affect that other Participant's rights to participate in any subsequent Exploration Programmes or in any subsequent Development Projects except that if the Participant which carries out the Programme as a Sole Risk Programme subsequently puts forward a proposal for Development based on such Sole Risk Programme, the other Participant shall not, in reaching a decision whether or not to participate in such Development Project, be entitled to see or use any data relating to such Exploration Sole Risk Programme.

13. PROGRAMMES AND BUDGETS

Joint Operations shall be conducted, expenses shall be incurred and Joint Account Assets shall be acquired pursuant only to Approved Programmes and Budgets. The Financial and Accounting Procedures contains, among other things, provisions concerning the preparation, review and approval of Programmes and Budgets.

14. TAXATION IN INDONESIA

It is the intention of the Participants that each of the Participants should be liable for Indonesian Taxes on income separately according to its participation in Joint Operations and any of its Sole Risk Ventures (and with respect to PT-FI, its interest in the 10-K Reserves and the other Enterprise Operations). Each Participant shall be directly responsible for and shall directly pay all such Taxes applicable to such Participant in Indonesia.

Each Participant shall individually and timely file its own Indonesian Tax returns with the relevant authorities and independently file pertinent claims and recover Tax credits to the extent permitted by applicable law. Each Participant shall provide to the other promptly all such information reasonably requested by the other to enable such other to comply with its obligations under this Clause 14.

Failure by a Participant to make any payment of Indonesian Income Tax which is due and payable by the Participant and which would result in a default under the COW shall entitle the Operator after 3 business days' notice to the Participant to make the required payment on behalf of the Participant and withhold such amount from sums otherwise due to such Participant under this Agreement.

15. TRANSFER OF PARTICIPATING INTERESTS

15.1 General

Subject to the provisions of this Clause 15, a Participant shall have the right to transfer, grant, assign, and otherwise commit or dispose (all such rights to be referred to as "transfer" in this Clause 15) to any third party all or any part of its Participating Interest.

15.2 Limitations on Free Transferability

The transfer right of a Participant in Clause 15.1 shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

15.2.1             no transferee  (other  than  a transferee
       taking the Participating Interest or part thereof for
       the  purpose of securing the payment or repayment  of
       any indebtedness,  or  enforcement  thereof,  or  the
       taking  of  title  by  a  party secured thereby or an
       Affiliate (including any representative  thereof  and
       the  Trustee  acting on its behalf under the Restated
       Trust Agreement),  and prior to the assumption of the
       position  of  a Participant  in  substitution  for  a
       Participant under the Participation Agreement) of all
       or part of its  Participating Interest shall have the
       rights  of  a  Participant   unless   and  until  the
       transferring  Participant has provided to  the  other
       Participants  notice   of   the   transfer,  and  the
       transferee (other than a transferee as aforesaid), as
       of the effective date of the transfer,  has committed
       in writing to be bound by this Agreement  to the same
       extent and nature as the transferring Participant;

15.2.2             no  transfer permitted by this Clause  15
       shall relieve the  transferring  Participant  of  its
       share  of  any  Liability, whether accruing before or
       after  such  transfer,  which  arises  out  of  Joint
       Operations conducted  after  the  Effective  Date and
       prior to such transfer;

15.2.3             the  transferring Participant and (unless
       the transferee is  taking  the Participating Interest
       or  part thereof by way of security)  the  transferee
       shall  indemnify  the  other  Participant against all

15.3 First Offer Right

Except as otherwise provided in Clause 15.4, if a Participant desires to transfer all or any part of its Participating Interest, including an interest therein that relates only to a specific geographic area, it shall first offer to sell such part to the other Participant on terms to be agreed. The Participants shall thereupon use all reasonable endeavours to agree the terms of the sale. If despite using all such reasonable endeavours, the Participants fail to agree on the terms of the sale within a period of 60 days after the date of the offer referred to in this Clause 15.3, the Participant desiring to sell shall have the right for the period of 180 days following the expiry of such 60 day period to sell such part of its Participating Interest to a third party. If the Participant desiring to sell shall fail to consummate such a sale to any third party within 180 days after such Participant shall become entitled hereunder to sell to such third party, no sale or transfer may thereafter be made by such Participant without again complying with the provisions of this Clause 15.3.

       any representative  thereof and the Trustee acting on
       its behalf under the  Restated  Trust  Agreement) but

Exceptions to Representations and Warranties

A. PT-FI 4.2.3

1. Tom Beanal v. Freeport-McMoRan Inc. and Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., Civ. No. 96-1474 (E.D. La. filed Apr. 29, 1996) and Yosefa Alomang v. Freeport-McMoRan Inc. and Freeport- McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., Civ. No. 96-9962 (Orleans Civ. Dist. Ct. La. filed June 19, 1996) and Civ. No. 96-2139 (E.D. La. removed June 24, 1996).

In both actions, the plaintiffs allege substantially identical environmental, human rights and social/cultural violations in Indonesia. Tom Beanal seeks $6 billion in monetary damages and other equitable relief and Yosefa Alomang seeks unspecified monetary damages and other equitable relief. FCX denies the allegations, which have been refuted by a series of independent examinations of the Indonesian mining operations of PT-FI. FCX believes that the actions are baseless and will vigorously defend such actions.

4.2.9 and 4.2.10

1. Assignment of the Contract of Work pursuant to the Trust Agreement dated as of May 15, 1970, as amended and restated, between PT-FI and First Trust, National Association (successor to Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York).

         Assets, PT-FI support services or Joint Account Assets,  and
         the  use  of  these  assets  and  support  services does not
         prejudice   then   or   later   the  conduct  of  Enterprise

       activities for which they are utilised.  The costs of
       support  and infrastructure facilities and activities
       which are  located  in  one  Contract Area Block, but
       utilised  in support of activities  in  one  or  more
       Contract  Area  Block,  shall  be  allocated  to  the
       activities  in the Contract Area Blocks in accordance

       Ventures  by  either  Participant within the Contract
       Area shall likewise be separately identifiable within

       Ventures  will  separately identify direct  costs  of
       these  projects  from   costs   otherwise   allocated
       thereto.

           retained for a period of 10 years  or as required for
           compliance with tax or other regulatory  requirements
           or as otherwise agreed to by the Participants.

           of this Annex or the Agreement,  and  subject  in any
           case to Clause 16.9 of the Agreement, representatives
           of  each Participant (including for this purpose  its
           accountants  or another appointed firm of accountants
           and the Secured  Creditors  (as  defined in the Trust
           Agreement)) will be entitled, upon  reasonable notice
           and  at  its  own  cost, to conduct an audit  of  the
           accounting and financial  records  of  operations  to
           which these Financial and Accounting Procedures apply
           for  any Year, provided, however, that any such audit
           shall  be  conducted within eighteen months after the
           end of the Year  to  which the audit pertains and any
           claim for an adjustment  must  be made within thirty-
           six months after the end of the  Year  to  which such
           adjustment pertains.

    (B)                Should such audit reveal an alleged error
           in  the  statement  of  revenues and costs or in  the
           calculation of the revenues  and  costs  allocated to
           each  Participant, notice of the alleged error  shall

be given promptly to each Participant and the Participants shall thereupon use all reasonable endeavours to reconcile any differences.

(C) Should the Participants be unable to reconcile the differences to their mutual satisfaction within a period of 60 days following the notice referred to above, the dispute shall be referred to an independent firm of accountants of international standing appointed by agreement between the Participants or in default of such agreement within a period of 30 days following the expiry of the period of 60 days referred to above, by the President for the time being of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants on the application of either of the Participants.

(D) Such independent firm of accountants shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator and it shall be directed to find for one Participant or the other. Its costs shall be borne by the

       Participant  losing  the  issue  in  question and its
       determination  shall  be final and binding  upon  the
       Participants and the Operator.

(E)                If it is agreed  between the Participants
       or determined by the expert that  an  error  has been
       made  to  the  calculation  of the revenues and costs

from operations to which these Financial and Accounting Procedures apply, such payments or reimbursements as shall be appropriate to correct such error shall be made by the Participants and the Operator shall make any and all necessary entries and corrections to the relevant Memorandum Equity Accounts of each Participant.

9.5        Fair clause

           The Participants agree that if any of the methods for
    determining charges and  credits  applicable  to  operations
    under  the  Agreement  set  out above prove to be unfair  or
    inequitable to either party,  the  Participants will in good
    faith endeavour to agree on changes deemed necessary.

            no material  revision, modification or amendment
            shall be made  without the approval of both such
            boards of directors.

       (c)             Any  Programme  and  Budget,  or  any
            revision  modification  and  amendment  thereto,
            shall be deemed  to  be approved by any board of
            directors  which does not,  within  thirty  days
            after receipt,  disapprove  the  same and notify
            the   other  board  of  directors  and  relevant
            Exploration   or   Operating  Committee  of  its
            disapproval (including  explanation  thereof  in
            reasonable detail).

       (d)             Except  as otherwise specified in the
            Agreement or this Annex,  unbudgeted  AFEs,  and
            budgeted  AFEs  in  excess of amounts fixed from
            time  to  time  by the relevant  Exploration  or
            Operating Committee,  shall  be submitted by the
            Operator  and  subject to the approval  by  such
            Committee, provided  that  any  AFE  which is in
            excess of amounts fixed from time to time by the
            boards of directors of PT-FI and PT-RTZ or which
            requires unbudgeted expenditure in excess  of 5%
            of    any    Programme   and   Budget   (whether
            individually or  as  part  of a group of related
            expenditures)  shall  also  be  subject  to  the
            approval  of  such  boards of directors  in  the
            manner set out in paragraph 10.1.3(c).

       (e)             Except as  provided in Clause 10.3 of

            Budget   or  any   revision,   modification   or
            amendment  thereto, both boards of directors and
            the relevant  Exploration Committee or Operating
            Committee  shall  endeavour  in  good  faith  to
            resolve  the   difference(s)  and  reach  mutual
            agreement on the applicable Programme and Budget
            as soon as possible.

10.1.4             Budget Overruns;  Programme  Changes  The

Operator shall immediately notify the relevant Committee of any material departure from an Approved Programme and Budget. As soon as practicable following the Operator becoming aware that the costs to be incurred under an Approved Budget are likely to be exceeded by more than 10%, then unless such excess is directly caused by an emergency or unexpected expenditure made pursuant to paragraph 10.2 of this Annex or otherwise authorised by the Participants, the Operator shall prepare a revised Programme and Budget for that Year and submit it as soon as practicable to the relevant Committee for review, and if needed, for recommendation for approval by the boards of directors of the Participants.

10.2 Emergency or Unexpected Expenditures In case of emergency, the Operator may take such action it deems necessary to protect life, limb or property, to protect the Enterprise Operations or Sole Risk Ventures or to comply with law or government regulation. Likewise, the Operator may make expenditures for unexpected events which are beyond its reasonable control and which do not result from a breach by it of its standard of care. In the case of either an emergency or unexpected expenditures, the Operator shall promptly notify the Participants of the emergency or unexpected expenditure, and the Operator shall be reimbursed therefor by the Participants as provided in Clause 6.1 of the Agreement and this Annex.

10.3       Cash Calls

    10.3.1             On  the  basis  of the Approved Programme
           and Budget or revision thereof,  the  Operator  shall
           submit   to  each  Participant  prior  to  the  fifth
           business day  of  each  calendar month, a billing for
           estimated cash requirements  for  the  next following
           calendar  month, taking into consideration  any  cash
           the Operator  has  on  hand from Joint Operations and
           any timing differences of  actual  expenditures  from
           the  Approved  Programme  and Budget, and identifying
           the   separate  contribution  obligations   of   each
           Participant in accordance with the provisions of this
           Annex  and   the   Agreement  and  any  reimbursement
           obligations under Clause 12 of the Agreement relating
           to Sole Risk Ventures.

    10.3.2             Prior to  the  first  business day of the
           month  for  which  the  funds  are  requested,   each
           Participant   shall  pay  to  the  Operator  by  wire
           transfer  to  the  bank  account  designated  by  the
           Operator, its share  of  the  estimated  amount as is
           shown  in the billing unless the share of the  amount
           shown therein is manifestly incorrect.

    10.3.3             Time is of the essence of payment of each
           billing.  A Participant that fails to meet cash calls
           in the amount  and  at  the  times  specified in this
           paragraph 10.3 shall be in default, and the amount of
           the defaulted cash call shall bear interest  from the
           date due at an annual rate equal to 5% above LIBOR as
           published  in  the  London  Financial  Times  on  the
           business   day  immediately  prior  to  the  date  of
           default.

    10.3.4             All  funds  in  excess  of immediate cash
           requirements  shall  be  invested in interest-bearing
           accounts,  for  the  benefit   of   the  Participants
           provided   that   (i)  all  funds  representing   the
           Exploration Obligation  shall  be  so invested solely
           for the benefit of PT-RTZ and (ii) funds for any Sole
           Risk  Venture  shall  be so invested solely  for  the
           benefit of the applicable Participant.

    10.3.5             Should the  Operator  be  required to pay
           large  sums  of  money  on behalf of the Participants
           which were unforeseen at  the  time  of providing the
           monthly  cash  call,  the  Operator may make  written
           request for special advances  which  shall be payable
           not later than the fifth business day  after  receipt
           of such notice.

10.4       Close-down Costs

    10.4.1             Close-down Costs directly attributable to
           a  Sole  Risk Venture shall be allocated to and borne
           by the Participant undertaking the Sole Risk Venture.

    10.4.2             Notwithstanding  any  other  provision to
           the  contrary  in  this  Annex  or the Agreement  but
           subject to paragraph 10.4.1 above,  each  Participant
           agrees  to pay and shall be liable to pay in  respect
           of Close-down,  that  proportion  of Close-down Costs
           which  the  value  of Products sold by  or  for  such
           Participant over the  life  of  the  COW bears to the
           value of all Products sold by or for the Participants
           over the life of the COW.

                       Final  salvage shall be credited  to  the
           Participants in the  same  proportion  as  Close-down
           Costs are allocated to them.

    10.4.3             For purposes of paragraph 10.4.2, "value"
           is  determined  by  reference  to the actual realised
           price  of  Products sold (or which  would  have  been
           realised but  for  any  price protection activities),
           adjusted for inflation, net  of smelting and refining
           charges, royalties, and other selling expenses.
