“Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Xxxxx’x (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of Xxxxx’x) and a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of S&P), and the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any replacement rating agency or rating agencies selected by the Company under the circumstances permitting the Company to select a replacement agency and in the manner for selecting a replacement agency, in each case as set forth in the definition of “Rating Agency.”

(b) Section 6.01(b) of the Base Indenture is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following, solely for purposes of the Securities to be issued hereunder:

“If an Event of Default described in clauses (a)(i) or (a)(ii) of this Section 6.01 with respect to the Securities of any series then Outstanding hereunder occurs and is continuing, then, unless the principal of the Securities of such series 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 such series then Outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by such Securityholders), may declare the principal of all the Securities of such series and interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture or in the Securities of such series or established with respect to such series pursuant to Section 2.01 to the contrary.

If an Event of Default described in clauses (a)(iii), (a)(iv) or (a)(vii) of this Section 6.01 with respect to Securities of one or more series then Outstanding hereunder occurs and is continuing, then, except with respect to any such affected series for which the principal of all the Securities thereof 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 all affected series then Outstanding (all such series voting together as a single class), by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by such Securityholders), may declare the principal of all the Securities then Outstanding of such series and interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable.

If an Event of Default described in clauses (a)(v) or (a)(vi) of this Section 6.01 with respect to Securities of one or more series then Outstanding hereunder occurs and is continuing, the principal (or such specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Outstanding Securities will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holder of Outstanding Securities. At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made, and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may rescind and annul the acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal and interest, if any, with respect to Securities of that series, have been cured or waived as provided in this Indenture.”

(c) Section 6.01(c) of the Base Indenture is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following, solely for purposes of the Securities to be issued hereunder:

“At any time after the principal of the Securities of any series shall have been declared due and payable as provided in Section 6.01(b), and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding (in the case of an Event of Default described in clauses (a)(i) or (a)(ii) of this Section 6.01, each such affected series voting as a separate class, and in the case of an Event of Default described in clauses (a)(iii), (a)(iv), (a)(v), (a)(vi) or (a)(vii) of this Section 6.01, all such affected series voting together as a single class), by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: (i) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Securities of such series and the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any and all Securities of such series that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent that such payment is enforceable under applicable law, upon overdue installments of interest, applied to the Securities of each such series at the rate per annum expressed in the Securities of each such series, respectively, to the date of such payment or deposit) and the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06, and (ii) any and all Events of Default under the Indenture with respect to such series, other than the nonpayment of principal on Securities of that series that shall not have become due by their terms, shall have been remedied or waived as provided in Section 6.06.

No such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.”

(d) Section 6.04 of the Base Indenture is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following, solely for purposes of the Securities to be issued hereunder:

“No holder of any Security of any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: (a) such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof with respect to the Securities of such series specifying such Event of Default, as hereinbefore provided; (b) the

holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series (in the case of an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a)(i) or Section 6.01(a)(ii), each such series voting as a separate class, and in the case of an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a)(iii), Section 6.01(a)(iv), Section 6.01(a)(v), Section 6.01(a)(vi) or Section 6.01(a)(vii), all affected series voting together as a single class) or shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as trustee hereunder; (c) such holder or holders shall have offered indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby; (d) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; and (e) during such 60 day period, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of such series (voting as provided in clause (b) above) do not give the Trustee conflicting directions with the request.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any other provisions of this Indenture, the right of any holder of any Security to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Security, as therein provided, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security (or in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or redemption date, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder and by accepting a Security hereunder it is expressly understood, intended and covenanted by the taker and holder of every Security of such series with every other such taker and holder and the Trustee, that no one or more holders of Securities of such series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the holders of any other of 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 such series. 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.”

5.25% Senior Notes due 2029

FREEPORT-MCMORAN INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & Co., or its registered assigns, the principal sum of [—] dollars ($[—]) (which aggregate principal amount may from time to time be increased or decreased to such other aggregate principal amounts by adjustments made on the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Global Security attached hereto) on September 1, 2029 and to pay interest on said principal sum from August 15, 2019 or from the most recent interest payment date (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”) on which interest has been paid or duly provided for semiannually on September 1 and

A-1

March 1 of each year commencing March 1, 2020 at the rate of 5.25% per annum until the principal hereof shall have become due and payable, and on any overdue principal and premium, if any, and (without duplication and to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest at the same rate per annum. The amount of interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on this Note is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay).

Any such interest installment that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date (as defined in the Indenture, the “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holders on such regular record date by virtue of having been such registered holder, and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Company, at its election, (i) to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall not be more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment, and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment or (ii) in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. The principal of (and premium, if any) and the interest on this Note shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the registered holder of this Note is Cede & Co., the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note will be made at such place and to such account as may be designated by DTC.

The indebtedness evidenced by this Note is, to the extent provided in the Indenture, senior and unsecured and will rank in right of payment on parity with all other senior unsecured obligations of the Company.

This Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the Certificate of Authentication hereon shall have been signed by or on behalf of the Trustee.

[REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]

FREEPORT-MCMORAN INC.

5.25% Senior Notes due 2029

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities (referred to in the Base Indenture (hereafter defined)), of the Company (herein sometimes referred to as the “Notes”), all such Securities issued or to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to an indenture (the “Base Indenture”) dated as of August 15, 2019, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented in the case of the Notes by the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of August 15, 2019, among the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee (the “Second Supplemental Indenture,” together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company, the Guarantor and the holders of the Notes. The initial aggregate principal amount of the Notes is $600,000,000. There is no limit upon the aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture. The Company may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders hereof, create and issue additional Notes of this series ranking equally and ratably with the Notes in all respects (other than the issue price, the date of the issuance, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such additional Notes, the first payment of interest following the issue date of such additional Notes and, in some cases, the first payment of interest following the issue date of such additional Notes). Any such additional Notes shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes initially issued, including for purposes of voting and redemptions; provided that if the additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes of this series initially issued for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional Notes shall have a separate CUSIP number.

The Notes will be redeemable, at the option of the Company, at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part. The Notes shall be redeemable at the redemption price (the “Redemption Price”), to be calculated by the Company, as follows:

(A) If the redemption date is prior to September 1, 2024, the Securities may be redeemed by the Company at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of (a) the Redemption Price of the Securities at September 1, 2024 and (b) the remaining scheduled payments of interest on the Securities to be redeemed from the date of redemption to September 1, 2024 (not including interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities to be redeemed to the date of redemption.

(B) If the redemption date is prior to September 1, 2024, the Company may redeem in the aggregate up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities issued under the Indenture (including the aggregate principal amount of any additional notes) with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings at a Redemption Price equal to 105.25% of the principal amount of Securities redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption (subject to the rights of holders of the Securities on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date falling prior to or on the redemption date); provided that:

(1) after giving effect to any such redemption at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities issued under the Indenture (including the aggregate principal amount of any additional notes) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and

(2) the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of, and may be conditioned upon, the closing of such Equity Offering.

(C) If the redemption date is on or after September 1, 2024, the Securities may be redeemed by the Company at the following Redemption Prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities to be redeemed to, but not including, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date) if on and after the issue date, redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on September 1 of the years indicated below:


Year	Redemption Price
2024		102.625	%
2025		101.750	%
2026		100.875	%
2027 and thereafter		100.000	%

A-7

In case the Company shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a portion of the Notes, the Company shall (with a copy provided to the Trustee), or shall cause the Trustee to, give notice of such redemption to holders of the Notes to be redeemed by mailing, first class postage prepaid, a notice of such redemption not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption to such holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Security Register. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered holder received the notice. In any case, failure duly to give such notice to the holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to the Notes, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 1.03 of the Supplemental Indenture, by giving irrevocable notice to the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture, each holder of Notes shall have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such holder’s Notes, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all of the series at the time Outstanding affected thereby (all such series voting together as a single class), as defined in the Indenture, to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Base Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner not covered by Section 9.01 of the Base Indenture the rights of the holders of the Notes; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the holders of each Note then Outstanding and affected thereby, (i) extend the fixed maturity of any Securities, including the Notes, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time for payment of interest thereon, or reduce any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, (ii) release the Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor from any of their respective obligations under their respective guarantees or the

The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof (and premium, if any) or any interest on this Note on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note is transferable by the registered holder hereof on the Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company or the Security Registrar duly executed by the registered holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount and series will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be made for any such transfer, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in relation thereto.

Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Security Registrar may deem and treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof and premium, if any, and interest due hereon and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Note Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Indenture, or of the Notes, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any such predecessor or successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and therein set forth, Notes so issued are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the holder surrendering the same.

All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between this Note and the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern.

THE INDENTURE AND THE NOTES INCLUDING THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY PROVISION THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD APPLY THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION).

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused “CUSIP” numbers to be printed on the Notes as a convenience to the holders of the Notes. No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such CUSIP numbers as printed on the Notes, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on behalf of the Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purposes.
