1. Introductory. (a) Alcoa Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Company”), proposes to issue and sell from time to time certain of its debt securities (“Debt Securities”) and warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase Debt Securities (“Warrant Debt Securities”), which Debt Securities or Warrant Debt Securities may be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Common Stock”), registered under the registration statements referred to in Section 2(a) (“Registered Securities”). The Debt Securities and Warrant Debt Securities will be issued under an indenture, dated as of September 30, 1993 (“Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as successor in interest to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, N.A. (formerly known as Chase Manhattan Trust Company, National Association, as successor to PNC Bank, National Association), as Trustee, in one or more series, which series may vary as to interest rates, maturities, redemption provisions, selling prices and other terms, with all such terms for any particular series being determined at the time of sale. The Warrants will be issued under Warrant Agreements (each a “Warrant Agreement”), between the Company and a bank or trust company, as Warrant Agent, on such terms as shall be determined at the time of sale. Particular series of the Debt Securities and Warrants will be sold pursuant to the Terms Agreement referred to in Section 3, for resale in accordance with the terms of offering determined at the time of sale. Any Debt Securities and any Warrants involved in any such offering are hereinafter referred to as the “Offered Debt Securities” and “Offered Warrants”, respectively, and collectively as the “Securities”, and Warrant Debt Securities issuable upon exercise of Offered Warrants are hereinafter referred to as the “Offered Warrant Debt Securities”. The firm or firms which agree to purchase the Securities (“Underwriters”) and the representative or representatives of the Underwriters, if any, specified in a Terms Agreement referred to in Section 3 are hereinafter referred to as the “Representatives”; provided, however, that if the Terms Agreement does not specify any representative of the Underwriters, the term “Representatives”, as used in this Agreement (other than in Sections 2(b), 5(c) and 6 and the second sentence of Section 3), shall mean the Underwriters.

(c) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters are acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company with respect to the offering of Securities contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company or any other person. Additionally, neither the Representatives nor any other Underwriter is advising the Company or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Underwriters shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company with respect thereto. Any review by the Underwriters of the Company, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of the Company.

2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each Underwriter that:

3. Purchase, Offering and Delivery. The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Securities will be evidenced by an exchange of facsimile or other written communications (“Terms Agreement”) at the time the Company determines to sell the Securities. The Terms Agreement, except as otherwise provided therein, will incorporate by reference the provisions of this Agreement in their entirety and will specify the firm or firms which will be Underwriters, the names of any Representatives, the principal amount of any Offered Debt Securities (including, if applicable, the number of shares of Common Stock initially issuable upon conversion or exchange of the Offered Debt Securities) and the number and certain other terms of any Offered Warrants (including the principal amount of the related Offered Warrant Debt Securities and, if applicable, the number of shares of Common Stock initially issuable upon conversion or exchange of the Offered Warrant Debt Securities) to be purchased by each Underwriter, the purchase price to be paid by the Underwriters, any compensation or commissions to be paid to the Underwriters, the initial public offering price, the terms of the Securities and any Offered Warrant Debt Securities not already specified in the Indenture and the Warrant Agreement, including, but not limited to, interest rate, maturity, any redemption provisions and any sinking fund requirements, and whether any of the Securities may be sold to institutional investors pursuant to Delayed Delivery Contracts (as defined below) as hereinafter provided. The Terms Agreement will also specify the time and date of delivery and payment (such time and date, or such other time not later than seven full business days thereafter as the Representatives and the Company agree as the time for payment and delivery, being herein and in the Terms Agreement referred to as the “Closing Date”), the place of delivery and payment and any details of the terms of offering that should be reflected in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus supplement relating to the offering of the Securities. The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Securities will be several and not joint. It is understood that the Underwriters propose to offer the Securities for sale as set forth in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus. The Securities delivered to the Underwriters on the Closing Date will be in definitive form, in such denominations and registered in such names as the Underwriters may request.

If the Terms Agreement provides for sales of Securities pursuant to delayed delivery contracts, the Company authorizes the Underwriters to solicit offers to purchase Securities pursuant to delayed delivery contracts substantially in the form of Annex I attached hereto (“Delayed Delivery Contracts”) with such changes therein as the Company may authorize or approve. Delayed Delivery Contracts are to be with institutional investors of the types set forth in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, including commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies and educational and charitable institutions. On the Closing Date the Company will pay, as compensation, to the Representatives for the accounts of the Underwriters, the fee set forth in such Terms Agreement in respect of the principal amount of Securities to be sold pursuant to Delayed Delivery Contracts (“Contract Securities”). The Underwriters will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or the performance of Delayed Delivery Contracts. If the Company executes and delivers Delayed Delivery Contracts, the Contract Securities will be deducted from the Securities to be purchased by the several Underwriters and (a) in the case of an offering of Debt Securities with attached Warrants the aggregate principal amount of Offered Debt Securities and the number of Offered Warrants to be purchased by each Underwriter shall be reduced pro rata in proportion to the principal amount of Offered Debt Securities and (b) in all other cases the aggregate principal amount of Offered Debt Securities

4

and the number of Warrants to be purchased by each Underwriter shall be reduced pro rata in proportion to the principal amount of Offered Debt Securities and the number of Offered Warrants, respectively, in each such case set forth opposite each Underwriter’s name in such Terms Agreement, except to the extent that the Representatives determine that such reduction shall be otherwise and so advise the Company. The Company will advise the Representatives not later than the business day prior to the Closing Date of the principal amount of Contract Securities.

4. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees with the several Underwriters that it will furnish to the Representatives and Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, two signed copies of any Registration Statement relating to the Registered Securities, including all exhibits, in the form it became effective and of all amendments thereto and that, in connection with each offering of Securities:

(a) The Company will file any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (including the Term Sheet in the form attached to the Terms Agreement) to the extent required by Rule 433 under the Act and will file the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus with the Commission pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b) not later than the time required by such rules.

(b) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company will advise the Representatives promptly of any proposal to prepare, use, authorize, approve, refer to or file any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or to amend or supplement any of the Registration Statements or the Prospectus and will afford the Representatives a reasonable opportunity to comment on any such proposed Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or amendment or supplement and the Company will also advise the Representatives promptly of any use, authorization, approval, reference to or filing of any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the filing of any such amendment or supplement and of the institution by the Commission of any stop order proceedings or any proceedings pursuant to Section 8A of the Act in respect of the Registration Statement or of any parts thereof and will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and to obtain as soon as possible its lifting, if issued.

(c)(1) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities, the Offered Warrant Debt Securities and the shares of Common Stock initially issuable upon conversion or exchange of the Offered Debt Securities or the Offered Warrant Debt Securities is required to be delivered under the Act, or required to be delivered but for Rule 172 under the Act (the “Prospectus Delivery Period”), any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend the Prospectus to comply with the Act, the Company promptly will prepare and file with the Commission an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or an amendment which will effect such compliance and (2) if at any time prior to the Closing Date (i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which the Time of Sale Information as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances, not misleading or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Information to comply with law, the Company will immediately notify the Underwriters thereof

5

and forthwith prepare and, subject to paragraph (b) above, file with the Commission (to the extent required) and furnish to the Underwriters and to such dealers as the Representatives may designate, such amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale Information as may be necessary so that the statements in the Time of Sale Information as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances, be misleading or so that the Time of Sale Information will comply with law. Neither the Representatives’ consent to, nor the Underwriters’ delivery of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.

(d) As soon as practicable, but not later than 16 months, after the date of each Terms Agreement, the Company will make generally available to its security-holders an earnings statement covering a period of at least 12 months beginning after the later of (i) the effective date of any registration statement relating to the Registered Securities, (ii) the effective date of the most recent post-effective amendment to any of the Registration Statements to become effective prior to the date of such Terms Agreement and (iii) the date of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 1O-K filed with the Commission prior to the date of such Terms Agreement, which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act.

(e) The Company will furnish to the Representatives copies of the Registration Statements, including all exhibits, any prospectus, any related preliminary prospectus supplement, any related Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Time of Sale Information, the Prospectus and all amendments and supplements to such documents, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as are reasonably requested.

(f) The Company will arrange for the qualification of the Securities, any Offered Warrant Debt Securities and any shares of Common Stock initially issuable upon conversion or exchange of the Offered Debt Securities or the Offered Warrant Debt Securities for sale and the determination of their eligibility for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives designate and will continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution.

(g) During the period of five years after the date of any Terms Agreement, the Company will furnish to the Representatives and, upon request, to each of the other Underwriters, if any, as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year, a copy of its annual report to shareholders for such year; and the Company will furnish to the Representatives (i) as soon as available, a copy of each report or definitive proxy statement of the Company filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act or mailed to shareholders, unless they are otherwise available on the Commission’s EDGAR system, and (ii) from time to time, such other information concerning the Company as the Representatives may reasonably request.

(h) The Company will pay all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and will reimburse the Underwriters for any expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by them in connection with qualification of the Registered Securities for sale and determination of their eligibility for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate and the printing of memoranda relating thereto, for any fees charged by investment rating agencies for the rating of the Securities, for the filing fee, if any, of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. relating

6

to the Registered Securities and for expenses incurred in distributing the Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectuses, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any Time of Sale Information and any preliminary prospectus supplements to Underwriters.

(i) The Company will not, without the prior consent of the Underwriters or the Representatives, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of (i) if the Securities are not convertible into Common Stock, any securities of the Company (other than pursuant to director or employee stock or other benefit plans existing or the conversion of convertible securities outstanding on the date of such Terms Agreement) which are substantially similar to its United States dollar-denominated debt securities having a maturity of more than one year, or (ii) if the Securities are convertible into Common Stock, shares of Common Stock or any other securities convertible into shares of Common Stock (other than pursuant to director or employee stock or other benefit plans existing or the conversion of convertible securities outstanding on the date of such Terms Agreement) during the period beginning on the date of execution of a Terms Agreement with respect to the Securities and ending on (x) in the case of (i), the later of the related Closing Date or the date on which any price restrictions on sale of the Securities are terminated and (y) in the case of (ii), 30 days following the Closing Date.

(k) The Company will, pursuant to reasonable procedures developed in good faith, retain copies of each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is not filed with the Commission in accordance with Rule 433 under the Securities Act.

5. Conditions of the Obligations of the Underwriters. The obligations of the several Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Securities will be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company herein, to the accuracy of the statements of Company officers made pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions precedent:

(vi) The Registration Statements have become effective under the Act, the Prospectus was filed with the Commission pursuant to the subparagraph of Rule 424(b) specified in such opinion on the date specified therein and, to the best of the knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statements or any parts thereof has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A under the Act have been instituted or are pending or contemplated under the Act, and any registration statement relating to the Registered Securities, as of its effective date, the Registration Statements, as of each effective date, and the Prospectus, as of its date, complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Act, the Trust Indenture Act and the Rules and Regulations; such counsel has no reason to believe that such registration statements as of their effective date, the Registration Statements, as of their most recent effective date, or the Prospectus, as of its date, or as of the Closing Date contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or that the Time of Sale Information, at the Time of Sale contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; the descriptions in the Registration Statements, the Time of Sale Information and Prospectus of statutes, legal and governmental proceedings and contracts and other documents are accurate and fairly present the information required to be shown;

(vii) The Indenture, any Warrant Agreement, the Securities and any Offered Warrant Debt Securities conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus;

(viii) The Terms Agreement (including the provisions of this Agreement) and any Delayed Delivery Contracts have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company; and

(ix) The sale of the Securities to the Underwriters pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Terms Agreement, the issuance of Offered Warrant Debt Securities on exercise of the Offered Warrants pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement and the issuance of any shares of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of the Offered Debt Securities or the Offered Warrant Debt Securities in accordance with the terms thereof are not subject to the provisions of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, and no approval, authorization or consent of any regulatory body in the United States of America is legally required in connection with the transactions herein or therein contemplated except such as have been obtained under the Act and as may be required under the state securities or Blue Sky laws.

(e) The Underwriters or Representatives shall have received from Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing Date, with respect to the incorporation of the Company, the validity of the Securities, any Offered Warrant Debt Securities and any shares of Common Stock initially issuable upon conversion or exchange of the Offered Debt Securities or the Offered Warrant Debt Securities, the Registration Statements, the Time of Sale Information, the Prospectus and other related matters as they may require, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters. In rendering such opinion, Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP may rely as to the incorporation of the Company and all other matters governed by Pennsylvania law, upon the opinion referred to in subsection (d) of this Section.

(f) The Underwriters or Representatives shall have received a certificate, dated the Closing Date, of the Chairman of the Board, President or any Vice-President and a principal financial or accounting officer of the Company in which such officers, to the best of their knowledge after reasonable investigation, shall state that the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are true and correct, that the Company has complied with all agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior to the Closing Date, that no stop order suspending the effectiveness of any of the Registration Statements

11

or of any parts thereof has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Act have been instituted or are contemplated by the Commission and that, subsequent to the date of the most recent financial statements in the Prospectus, there has been no material adverse change in the financial position or results of operation of the Company and its subsidiaries considered in the aggregate except as set forth in or contemplated by the Prospectus or as described in such certificate.

(g) The Representatives shall have received a letter, dated the Closing Date, of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, which reconfirms the matters set forth in their letter delivered pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section and states in effect that:

(i) in their opinion, any financial statements or schedules examined by them and included in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus and not covered by their letter delivered pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section comply in form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act, the Exchange Act and the related published Rules and Regulations;

(ii) they have made a review of any unaudited financial statements included in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, as indicated in their report or reports attached to such letter;

(iii) on the basis of the review referred to in (ii) above, a reading of the latest available interim financial statements of the Company, inquiries of officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters and other specified procedures, nothing came to their attention that caused them to believe that:

(A) the unaudited financial statements or summarized financial data, if any, included in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus do not comply in form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act, the Exchange Act and the related published Rules and Regulations or are not in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis substantially consistent with that of the audited financial statements included in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus;

(B) the unaudited capsule information, if any, included in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus does not agree with the amounts set forth in the unaudited consolidated financial statements from which it was derived or was not determined on a basis substantially consistent with that of the audited financial statements included in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus;

(C) at the date of the latest available balance sheet read by such accountants, or at a subsequent specified date not more than five business days prior to the Closing Date, there was any change in the capital stock or any increase in short-term indebtedness or long-term debt of the Company and consolidated subsidiaries or, at the date of the latest available financial

12

information read by such accountants, there was any increase in the short-term debt of, the Company and consolidated subsidiaries, as compared with amounts shown on the latest balance sheet included in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus; or

(D) for the period from the date of the latest financial statements included in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus to the closing date of the latest available income statement of the Company read by such accountants there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding amount in the corresponding period of the previous year, in consolidated sales and operating revenues, income from operations, income before extraordinary gains (losses) or income of the Company and consolidated subsidiaries, except in all cases set forth in clauses (C) and (D) above for changes, increases or decreases which the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus discloses have occurred or may occur or which are described in such letter; and

(iv) they have compared certain agreed dollar or tonnage amounts (or percentages derived from such dollar or tonnage amounts) and other financial information contained in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus and not covered by their letter delivered pursuant to subsection (a) of this section (in each case to the extent that such dollar or tonnage amounts or percentages and other financial information are derived from the general accounting records of the Company and consolidated subsidiaries, which are subject to the internal controls of the accounting systems of the Company and consolidated subsidiaries, or may be derived directly from such records by analysis or computation), with the general accounting records of the Company and consolidated subsidiaries, and have found such dollar or tonnage amounts and percentages and other financial information to be in agreement with such result, except as otherwise specified in such letter.

The Company will furnish the Representatives or, if there are no Representatives, the Underwriters with such conformed copies of such opinions, certificates, letters and documents they reasonably request.

6. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Time of Sale Information, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in

13

connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives, if any, specifically for use therein.

(b) Each Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Time of Sale Information, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the Representatives, if any, specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

(d) If recovery is not available under the foregoing indemnification provisions of this Section, for any reason other than as specified therein, the parties entitled to indemnification by the terms thereof shall be entitled to contribution to liabilities and expenses, except to the extent that contribution is not permitted under Section 11 (f) of the

14

Act. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, there shall be considered the relative benefits received by each party from the offering of the Securities (taking into account the portion of the proceeds of the offering realized by each), the parties’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be suitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose). No Underwriter or person controlling such Underwriter shall be obligated to make contribution hereunder which in the aggregate exceeds the total public offering price of the Securities purchased by such Underwriter under this Agreement, less the aggregate amount of any damages which such Underwriter and its controlling persons have otherwise been required to pay in respect of the same claim or any substantially similar claim. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each director of the Company, to each officer of the Company who has signed any of the Registration Statements or any parts thereof and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act.

7. Default of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations to purchase Securities under the Terms Agreement and, in the case of an offering of Debt Securities or Debt Securities with attached Warrants, the aggregate principal amount of Offered Debt Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total principal amount of the Offered Debt Securities, or, in the case of an offering of Warrants only, the number of Offered Warrants which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total number of Offered Warrants, the Representatives may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such Securities by other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by the Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments under this Agreement and the Terms Agreement, to purchase the Securities that such defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase. If any Underwriter or Underwriters so default and, in the case of an offering of Debt Securities or Debt Securities with attached Warrants, the aggregate principal amount of Offered Debt Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the total principal amount of the Offered Debt Securities or, in the case of an offering of Warrants only, if any Underwriter or Underwriters so default and the number of Warrants with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the total number of Offered Warrants, and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such Securities by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, such Terms Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-

15

defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except as provided in Section 8. In all other cases, unless otherwise specified in the Terms Agreement, if any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations to purchase Securities under the terms of such Agreement and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such Securities by other persons are not made within thirty-six hours after such default, such Terms Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except as provided in Section 8. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. The foregoing obligations and agreements set forth in this Section will not apply if the Securities are being purchased pursuant to a “firm bid” which is identified as such in the Terms Agreement. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default. The respective commitments of the several Underwriters for the purposes of this Section shall be determined without regard to reduction in the respective Underwriters’ obligations to purchase the principal amounts of Offered Debt Securities or, in the case of an offering of Warrants only, the number of Warrants, set forth opposite their names in the Terms Agreement as a result of Delayed Delivery Contracts entered into by the Company.

The foregoing obligations and agreements set forth in this Section will not apply if the Terms Agreement specifies that such obligations and agreements will not apply.

8. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Company or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. If for any reason the purchase of the Securities by the Underwriters under the Terms Agreement is not consummated, the Company shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to Section 4 and the respective obligations of the Company and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 6 shall remain in effect.

9. Certain Agreements of the Underwriters. Each Underwriter hereby represents and agrees that

(a) It has not and will not use, authorize use of, refer to, or participate in the planning for use of, any “free writing prospectus”, as defined in Rule 405 under the Act (which term includes use of any written information furnished to the Commission by the Company and not incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and any press release issued by the Company) other than (i) a free writing prospectus that is not an “issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433 under the Act that contains only preliminary terms of the Securities and offering or information permitted by Rule 134 under the Act, (ii) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed in the Terms Agreement or prepared pursuant to Section 1(b) or Section 4(c) above (including any electronic road show), or (iii) any free writing prospectus prepared by such Underwriter and approved by the Company in advance in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Underwriters may use a term sheet, substantially in the form attached to the Terms Agreement, without the consent of the Company.

16

(b) It is not subject to any pending proceeding under Section 8A of the Act with respect to the offering (and will promptly notify the Company if any such proceeding against it is initiated during the Prospectus Delivery Period).

(c) It will, pursuant to reasonable procedures developed in good faith, retain copies of each free writing prospectus used or referred to by it, in accordance with Rule 433 under the Act.

10. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent to the Underwriters, will be mailed, delivered or telecopied and confirmed to them at their addresses furnished to the Company in writing for the purpose of communications hereunder or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed, delivered or telecopied and confirmed to it at Alcoa Corporate Center, 201 Isabella Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15212-5858, Attention: Treasurer.

11. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and such Underwriters as are identified in Terms Agreements and their respective successors and the officers and directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 6, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

12. Applicable Law. This Agreement and the Terms Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Exhibit 99.4

FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE dated as of January 25, 2007, between ALCOA INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (herein called the “Company”) having its principal office at 390 Park Avenue, New York, New York, and THE BANK OF NEW YORK TRUST COMPANY, N.A., as successor trustee to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, N.A. (formerly known as Chase Manhattan Trust Company, National Association, as successor trustee to PNC Bank, National Association), a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”).

RECITALS OF THE COMPANY

The Company and the Trustee are parties to an Indenture dated as of September 30, 1993 (the “Indenture”), relating to the issuance from time to time by the Company of its Securities. Capitalized terms used herein, not otherwise defined, shall have the same meanings given them in the Indenture.

Section 901(5) of the Indenture provides that a supplemental indenture may be entered into by the Company and the Trustee, without the consent of any Holders, when properly authorized by a certified resolution adopted by the Board of Directors, to add, change or eliminate any provisions of the Indenture in respect of one or more series of Securities, provided that such addition, change or elimination shall neither (i) apply to any Security of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture and entitled to the benefits of such provision nor (ii) modify the rights of the Holder of any such Security with respect to such provision.

The Company has requested the Trustee to join with it in the execution and delivery of this first supplemental indenture (the “First Supplemental Indenture”) in order to supplement and amend the Indenture, solely with respect to Securities issued on or after the date hereof, to: (1) amend the definition of “Event of Default”; (2) decrease the percent in principal amount of Holders that must consent to certain supplemental indentures or grant certain waivers; and (3) increase the amount of Debt secured by a Mortgage and Attributable Debt that the Company is permitted to incur; in no event will the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture affect the interests of the Holders of Securities of any series Outstanding prior to the date of this First Supplemental Indenture in any respect.

The Company has determined that this First Supplemental Indenture complies with said Section 901, does not affect the interests of the Holders of Securities Outstanding prior to the date of this First Supplemental Indenture and does not require the consent of any Holders.

The Company represents and warrants that all things necessary to make this First Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of the Company and the Trustee, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, and a valid amendment of and supplement to the Indenture have been done.

NOW, THEREFORE, THIS FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH:
