WHEREAS, the Lenders party hereto constituting the Required Lenders under the Credit Agreement and the Administrative Agent are willing to so amend the Credit Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Amendment of the Credit Agreement. Effective as of the Amendment Effective Date, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

(i) at all times during the Covenant Increase Period:
Level | Rating (S&P, Xxxxx’x) | Eurodollar Spread (bps per annum) | ABR Spread (bps per annum) | Commitment Fee (bps per annum) | Financial LC Participation Fee (bps per annum) | Performance LC Participation Fee (bps per annum) |
2
1 | BBB / Baa2 or higher | 212.5 | 112.5 | 30.0 | 212.5 | 106.25 |
2 | BBB- / Baa3 | 245.0 | 145.0 | 35.0 | 245.0 | 122.5 |
3 | BB+ / Ba1 | 275.0 | 175.0 | 45.0 | 275.0 | 137.5 |
4 | BB/Ba2 | 300.0 | 200.0 | 55.0 | 300.0 | 150.0 |
5 | BB-/Ba3 | 350.0 | 250.0 | 55.0 | 350.0 | 175.0 |

Level | Rating (S&P, Xxxxx’x) | Eurodollar Spread (bps per annum) | ABR Spread (bps per annum) | Commitment Fee (bps per annum) | Financial LC Participation Fee (bps per annum) | Performance LC Participation Fee (bps per annum) |
1 | BBB / Baa2 or higher | 137.5 | 37.5 | 30.0 | 137.5 | 68.75 |
2 | BBB- / Baa3 | 170.0 | 70.0 | 35.0 | 170.0 | 85.0 |
3 | BB+ / Ba1 | 200.0 | 100.0 | 45.0 | 200.0 | 100.0 |

For purposes of the foregoing, (a) if either Xxxxx’x or S&P shall not have in effect a Credit Rating (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the last sentence of this definition), then FCX and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon another rating agency to be substituted by an amendment to this Agreement for the rating agency which shall not have a Credit Rating in effect, and pending the effectiveness of such amendment, the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to the available Credit Rating; (b) if the Credit Ratings established or deemed to have been established by Xxxxx’x and S&P shall fall within different Levels, the Applicable Rate shall be based on the higher of the two Credit Ratings unless one of the two Credit Ratings is two or more Levels lower than the other, in which case the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to the Level next below that of the higher of the two
3
Credit Ratings; and (c) if the Credit Rating established or deemed to have been established by Xxxxx’x and S&P shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of Xxxxx’x or S&P), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first announced by the applicable rating agency. Each change in the Applicable Rate based on the Credit Ratings shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of Xxxxx’x or S&P shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, FCX and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend the definition of “Applicable Rate” to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to the Credit Rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.
(b) Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by revising the definition of “Bail-In Action” in its entirety as set forth below:
“Bail-In Action” means the exercise of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority in respect of any liability of an Affected Financial Institution.
