SECOND AMENDMENT dated as of December 9, 2015 (this “Amendment”) to the Term Loan Agreement dated as of
February 14, 2013, as amended by the First Amendment dated as of February 27, 2015, (the “Loan Agreement”) among FREEPORT-MCMORAN INC. (f/k/a FREEPORT-MCMORAN COPPER & GOLD INC.) (“FCX”),
FREEPORT-MCMORAN OIL & GAS LLC) (“FMOG” and together with FCX, the “Borrowers”), the Lenders from time to time party thereto and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the
“Administrative Agent”). 
 WHEREAS, the Lenders have made term loans to the Borrowers under the Loan Agreement on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby. 

WHEREAS, the Borrowers have requested that the Loan Agreement be amended (a) to modify for a period of time the maximum Total Leverage
Ratio applicable under Section 6.06, (b) to provide for certain changes to interest rate spreads, (c) to require certain mandatory prepayments of Term Loans and (d) to effect other modifications to the provisions of the Loan
Agreement, in each case as set forth herein. 
 WHEREAS, the Lenders party hereto, constituting the Required Lenders under the Loan
Agreement, and the Administrative Agent are willing so to amend the Loan 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 Loan
Agreement. Effective as of the Amendment Effective Date, the Loan Agreement is hereby amended as follows: 
 The
following definitions are added in the appropriate alphabetical order to Section 1.01 of the Loan Agreement: 

“Disposition” means any sale, transfer, lease or other disposition (including pursuant to a Sale and Leaseback
Transaction and by way of merger or consolidation) of any assets of any Loan Party (other than PTFI) in respect of which Net Proceeds are received by or distributed to FCX, including any sale or issuance other than to a Borrower or a Subsidiary of
any Equity Interests in any Loan Party (other than PTFI) and including forward sales, streaming and similar transactions, in each case for consideration consisting in whole or part of cash proceeds, other than (i) dispositions in the ordinary
course of business of (x) inventory (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, forward sales and streaming or similar transactions), (y) used or surplus equipment or (z) cash or cash equivalents; (ii) dispositions of accounts
receivable, (iii) any casualty or other 

 
insured damage to, or any taking under power of eminent domain or by condemnation or similar proceeding of, any assets, (iv) forward sales, streaming and similar transactions for cumulative
aggregate Net Proceeds received during Mandatory Prepayment Periods not in excess of $250,000,000, and (v) other sales and dispositions resulting in aggregate Net Proceeds received during Mandatory Prepayment Periods not exceeding $100,000,000
in the case of any single transaction or series of related transactions or $250,000,000 in the aggregate for all such transactions. 

“Mandatory Prepayment Period” means (i) each period commencing on and including the date of delivery to
the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b) of consolidated financial statements in respect of which the Total Leverage Ratio, as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter covered by such financial statements, is in
excess of 4.00 to 1.00 and ending on the first date of delivery of consolidated financial statements under Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b) thereafter in respect of which the Total Leverage Ratio, as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter
covered by such financial statements, is less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00; provided that a Mandatory Prepayment Period will in any event be deemed to exist if FCX fails to deliver the consolidated financial statements required to be
delivered by it pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b) or the certificate of a Financial Officer required pursuant to Section 5.01(c) during the period from the expiration of the time for delivery thereof until such consolidated financial
statements and such certificate are delivered. 
 “Net Proceeds” means, with respect to any event,
(a) the cash (which term, for purposes of this definition, shall include cash equivalents) proceeds received in respect of such event, including any cash received in respect of any noncash proceeds, but only as and when received, net of
(b) the sum, without duplication, of (i) all fees and out-of-pocket expenses paid in connection with such event by the Borrowers and the Subsidiaries, (ii) in the case of a Disposition (including pursuant to a Sale and Leaseback
Transaction) of an asset, (A) the amount of all payments required to be made by the Borrowers and the Subsidiaries as a result of such event to repay Indebtedness (other than Loans) secured by such asset and (B) the pro rata portion of net
cash proceeds thereof (calculated without regard to this clause (B)) attributable to minority interests and not available for distribution to or for the account of the Borrowers and the Subsidiaries as a result thereof and (iii) the amount of
all taxes paid (or reasonably estimated to be payable) by the Borrowers and the Subsidiaries and the amount of any reserves established by the Borrowers and the Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP to fund purchase price adjustment, indemnification
and similar contingent liabilities (other than any earnout obligations) reasonably estimated to be payable and that are directly attributable to the occurrence of such event (as determined reasonably and in good faith by the chief financial officer
of FCX). Notwithstanding the foregoing, cash proceeds from the sale or issuance of any Equity Interests of FCX Oil & Gas Inc. (or any successor entity) or any of its subsidiaries shall not constitute “Net Proceeds” to the extent
FCX furnishes to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer of FCX certifying that FCX or any of its Subsidiaries intends 

  
 2 

 
to invest such Net Proceeds in assets useful in the business of FCX and its Subsidiaries. For purposes of this definition, in the event any contingent liability reserve established with respect
to any event as described in clause (b)(iii) above shall be reduced, the amount of such reduction shall, except to the extent such reduction is made as a result of a payment having been made in respect of the contingent liabilities with respect to
which such reserve has been established, be deemed to be receipt, on the date of such reduction, of cash proceeds in respect of such event. 

“Sale and Leaseback Transaction” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 6.04. 

Section 1.01 of the Loan Agreement is further amended by revising the following defined terms to read in their entirety as
set forth below: 
 ““Applicable Rate” means, for any day and subject to the next following sentence,
the applicable rate per annum set forth below under the caption “ABR Spread”, “Eurodollar Spread” or “Ticking Fee”, as the case may be, based upon the Credit Ratings by Moody’s and S&P applicable on such day:

	1. BBB+ / Baa1 or higher	 	 	2. BBB / Baa2	 	 	3. BBB- / Baa3	 	 	4. BB+ / Ba1	 	 	5. BB/Ba2 or lower

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and during such periods as the Total Leverage Ratio as of the
end of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower (commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2015) for which consolidated financial statements have been most recently delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b) (a) exceeds
4.00 to 1.00 but is less than or equal to 4.50 to 1.00, the Applicable Rate will be, for any day, a rate per annum 25 basis points in excess of the rate per annum otherwise applicable as set forth in the table above, and (b) exceeds 4.50 to
1.00, the Applicable Rate will be, for any day, a rate per annum 50 basis points in excess of the rate per annum otherwise applicable as set forth in the table above. 

For purposes of the foregoing, (a) if either Moody’s 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 Moody’s and S&P shall fall within different Levels, the Applicable Rate shall be based on the higher 

  
 3 

 
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 Credit Ratings; and (c) if the Credit Rating established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s and S&P shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of
Moody’s 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 Moody’s 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. 

Each change in the Applicable Rate resulting from a change in the Leverage Ratio shall be effective during the period
commencing on and including the date of delivery to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b) of the consolidated financial statements indicating such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date
of the next such change; provided that the Total Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to exceed 4.50 to 1.00 at the option of the Administrative Agent or at the request of the Required Lenders if FCX fails to deliver the consolidated financial
statements required to be delivered by it pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b) or the certificate of a Financial Officer required pursuant to Section 5.01(c) during the period from the expiration of the time for delivery thereof until
such consolidated financial statements and such certificate are delivered.” 
 Section 2.08(c) of the Loan
Agreement is amended by adding immediately after “Any prepayment of a Borrowing” the parenthetical “(including, for the avoidance of doubt, any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.09(b))”. 

Section 2.09 of the Loan Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as follows: 

“SECTION 2.09. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time
to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to the requirements of this Section and to the making of any payment required under Section 2.14. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, the
Borrowers may elect to apply voluntary prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.09(a) (but not mandatory prepayments pursuant to Section 2.09(b)) to the 2018 Loans and the 2020 Loans in such amounts as may be specified in the notice given
pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section. 

  
 4 

 (b) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on
behalf of any Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of any Disposition during a Mandatory Prepayment Period, the Borrowers shall, within five Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received by FCX, prepay Borrowings, ratably as required by
paragraph (c) of this Section, in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (i) 50% of such Net Proceeds and (ii) such amount as will result in the Total Leverage Ratio, calculated on a pro forma basis as of the last day of the most
recent fiscal quarter covered by consolidated financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b) to give effect to such prepayment and to any Material Acquisition, Material Disposition, incurrence of Indebtedness or repayment
of Indebtedness that has occurred thereafter (in accordance, as applicable, with the last paragraph of the definition of Consolidated EBITDAX), to be no greater than 4.00 to 1.00. 

(c) Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of 2018 Loans or 2020 Loans hereunder, the Borrowers shall select the
Borrowing or Borrowings of such Loans to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section. In the event of any mandatory prepayment of Borrowings pursuant to paragraph
(b) of this Section made at a time when Borrowings of both 2018 Loans and 2020 Loans remain outstanding, the Borrowers shall select Borrowings to be prepaid so that the aggregate amount of such prepayment is allocated between Borrowings of 2018
Loans and Borrowings of 2020 Loans pro rata based on the relative aggregate outstanding principal amounts thereof on the date of such prepayment. 

(d) The Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any optional prepayment and, to
the extent practicable, any mandatory prepayment, hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of
prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be
prepaid and, in the case of any mandatory prepayment, shall include a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment (including, if applicable, a calculation of the pro forma Total Leverage Ratio referred to in paragraph
(b) of this Section). Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the
required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by
Section 2.11.” 
 Section 6.04 of the Loan Agreement is amended by inserting “(a “Sale and
Leaseback Transaction)” immediately after “the same purpose or purposes as the property sold or transferred”. 

  
 5 

 Section 6.06 of the Loan Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as
follows: 
 “SECTION 6.06. Total Leverage Ratio. The Borrowers will not permit (a) if a Reversion Election
has not been made, the Total Leverage Ratio on the last day of any fiscal quarter (i) ending on December 31, 2015, to exceed 5.50 to 1.00, (ii) ending during the period from and including March 31, 2016 through and including
June 30, 2016, to exceed 5.90 to 1.00, (iii) ending on September 30, 2016, to exceed 5.75 to 1.00, (iv) ending on December 31, 2016, to exceed 5.00 to 1.00, (v) ending during the period from and including March 31,
2017 through and including December 31, 2017, to exceed 4.25 to 1.00 and (iv) ending on or after March 31, 2018, to exceed 3.75 to 1.00, and (b) if a Reversion Election has been made, the Total Leverage Ratio on the last day of
any fiscal quarter ending on or after the effective date of such Reversion Election to exceed 3.75 to 1.00.” 
 All schedules and exhibits to the Loan
Agreement, in the forms thereof immediately prior to the Amendment Effective Date, will continue to be schedules and exhibits to the Loan Agreement as amended hereby. 

SECTION 2. Representations and Warranties. To induce the other parties hereto to enter into this Amendments each of the Borrowers
represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:

of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; 
 (b) the representations and warranties of
each Loan Party set forth in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects and as of the Amendment Effective Date, except where such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such

and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by telecopy or other electronic imaging shall be

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and during such periods as the Total Leverage
Ratio as of the end of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower (commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2015) for which consolidated financial statements have been most recently delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b)
(a) exceeds 4.00 to 1.00 but is less than or equal to 4.50 to 1.00, the Applicable Rate (other than in respect of the Commitment Fee) will be, for any day, a rate per annum 25 basis points in excess of the rate per annum otherwise applicable as
set forth in the table above, and (b) exceeds 4.50 to 1.00, the Applicable Rate (other than in respect of the Commitment Fee) will be, for any day, a rate per annum 50 basis points in excess of the rate per annum otherwise applicable as set
forth in the table above. 
 For purposes of the foregoing, (a) if either Moody’s 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 Moody’s 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 Credit Ratings; and (c) if the Credit Rating established or deemed to have been established by
Moody’s and S&P shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of Moody’s 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
Moody’s 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. 

  
 2 

 Each change in the Applicable Rate resulting from a change in the Total Leverage
Ratio shall be effective during the period commencing on and including the date of delivery to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b) of the consolidated financial statements indicating such change and ending on the
date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change; provided that the Total Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to exceed 4.50 to 1.00 at the option of the Administrative Agent or at the request of the Required Lenders if FCX
fails to deliver the consolidated financial statements required to be delivered by it pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b) or the certificate of a Financial Officer required pursuant to Section 5.01(c) during the period from the
expiration of the time for delivery thereof until such consolidated financial statements and such certificate are delivered.” 
 (b)
Section 6.06 of the Credit Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as follows: 
 “SECTION 6.06. Total
Leverage Ratio. The Borrowers will not permit (a) if a Reversion Election has not been made, the Total Leverage Ratio on the last day of any fiscal quarter (i) ending on December 31, 2015, to exceed 5.50 to 1.00, (ii) ending
during the period from and including March 31, 2016 through and including June 30, 2016, to exceed 5.90 to 1.00, (iii) ending on September 30, 2016, to exceed 5.75 to 1.00, (iv) ending on December 31, 2016, to exceed
5.00 to 1.00, (v) ending during the period from and including March 31, 2017 through and including December 31, 2017, to exceed 4.25 to 1.00 and (iv) ending on or after March 31, 2018, to exceed 3.75 to 1.00, and (b) if
a Reversion Election has been made, the Total Leverage Ratio on the last day of any fiscal quarter ending on or after the effective date of such Reversion Election to exceed 3.75 to 1.00.” 

SECTION 2. Representations and Warranties. To induce the other parties hereto to enter into this Amendment, each of the Borrowers
represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that: 
 (a) (x) the execution, delivery and

principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; 
 (b) the representations and
warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects as of the Amendment Effective Date, except where such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such

 SECTION 3. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective
as of the first date (the “Amendment Effective Date”) on which each of the following conditions has been satisfied: 

(a) The Administrative Agent shall have executed this Amendment (and its Indonesian language version) and shall have received
counterparts hereof duly executed and delivered by each Borrower, Lenders constituting the Required Lenders, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent. 

(b) The Administrative Agent shall have received such board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s

 (d) The Administrative Agent shall have
received payment from the Borrowers in immediately available funds of an amendment fee for the account of each Lender that has executed and delivered a counterpart hereof prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 8, 2015, in an amount
equal to 0.125% of the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment on the Amendment Effective Date. 
 The Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the Amendment Effective Date and such notice shall be conclusive and binding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Amendment shall not become effective unless each of the conditions set forth or referred to in
this Section 3 has been satisfied at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 5, 2016 (it being understood that any such failure of this Amendment to become effective will not affect any rights or obligations of any Person
under the Credit Agreement). 
 SECTION 4. Expenses. Each Borrower agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Amendment, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent, in each case to the extent provided in

 SECTION 5. Effect of Amendment. (a) Except as expressly set forth herein, this
Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and shall not alter,
modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other provision of the Credit Agreement or of any other Loan Document, all of which are ratified and
affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle any Borrower to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations,
covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances. 
 (b) On and
after the Amendment Effective Date, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein”, or words of like import, and each reference to the Credit Agreement in any other
Loan Document shall be deemed a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby. This Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 7. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Amendment, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to
the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by telecopy or other electronic imaging shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.
