     the FI Trustee and the Agent are parties to the Existing
     Credit Agreement.  The Transaction Parties have advised the
     other parties hereto that FTX intends to distribute to its

     held holding company for FI (such distribution, to be on a

               The Transaction Parties wish to amend the Existing
     Credit Agreement to provide, among other things, for
     (i) deletion of provisions relating to FTX and FRP and other
     modifications to provide to FI the benefit of the modified

     pursuant to a new $200 million credit agreement (the "FCX
     Credit Agreement") dated as of June 30, 1995, among FI, FCX,
     the banks party thereto, First Trust of New York, National
     Association, Chemical Bank, as Administrative Agent and FCX
     Collateral Agent and The Chase Manhattan Bank (National

     Commitments of certain of the Lenders which are presently
     parties to the Existing Credit Agreement (the "Departing
     Banks") and their withdrawal as parties to the Amended
     Credit Agreement, (iii) the Lenders listed on the signature
     pages hereto under the caption "Additional Banks" to become
     "Banks" for all purposes under the Amended Credit Agreement
     with the Commitments set forth on Schedule II hereto next to
     their names, (iv) the Lenders which are presently party to
     the Existing Credit Agreement but which are not Departing
     Banks (the "Continuing Banks") to continue to be "Banks"
     under the Amended Credit Agreement but with their
     Commitments modified to be the Commitments listed on
     Schedule II hereto next to their names (for purposes of this
     Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement, the term "Banks"
     shall mean the Additional Banks and the Continuing Banks),
     (v) the division of the existing role of Agent into separate
     roles of Administrative Agent (with Chemical Bank to become
     the Administrative Agent) and Documentary Agent (with Chase
     becoming the Documentary Agent), each with the respective
     responsibilities and roles set forth in Article VIII of the
     Amended Credit Agreement, (vi) the release of FTX's
     guarantee of the borrowings of FI under the Existing Credit
     Agreement, with FTX ceasing to be a party to the Amended
     Credit Agreement, (vii) the pledge by FCX of the shares of
     FI owned by it to secure its guarantee of FI's borrowings
     under the Amended Credit Agreement and borrowings by FCX or
     FI under the FCX Credit Agreement pursuant to the FCX Pledge
     Agreement, (viii) certain changes in the interest rates
     payable on the Loans to those set forth on Schedule I hereto
     and administrative procedures for the Loans as provided in
     the Amended Credit Agreement and (ix) certain other changes

     Agreement, including the representations and warranties and
     covenants provided therein, to reflect the Restructuring and

     arrangements between the Transaction Parties and the Banks.

     Agreement are required.  Accordingly, the Transaction
     Parties, the Lenders, the FI Trustee, Chemical Bank (as

     contrary, this Amendment shall terminate and be of no force

     termination, the Existing Credit Agreement shall continue in
     full force as in effect on the date hereof.

               SECTION 4.  Delivery of Notes; Assignments.

               (a)  At the Amendment Closing, the Continuing
     Banks and the Departing Banks shall deliver to the
     Administrative Agent, for delivery to and cancellation by
     FI, all promissory notes issued by FI under the Existing
     Credit Agreement and then held by them (collectively, the
     "Old Notes").  FI shall execute and deliver to the
     Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank the
     Promissory Note that such Bank is entitled to receive
     pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Amended Credit Agreement, in
     the form set forth as Exhibit A hereto (the "New Notes"),
     and the schedules attached to such New Notes shall reflect
     the Loans outstanding as of the Fifth Amendment Closing
     Date, subject to the arrangements provided in this
     Section 4.  Upon the Amendment Closing, the Administrative
     Agent shall release and deliver the Old Notes to FI for
     cancellation and shall deliver the New Notes to the
     Continuing Banks and the Additional Banks.  In the event all
     or a portion of an Old Note held by a Continuing Bank or a
     Departing Bank has been lost or destroyed, such Lender may
     deliver, in lieu of such Old Note, an indemnity agreement
     relating to such Old Note in a form reasonably satisfactory
     to FI.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any
     Lender to deliver any Old Notes shall not prohibit or delay
     the closing on the Fifth Amendment Closing Date, unless FI
     shall so notify such Lender.

               (b)  Effective as of the Amendment Closing,
     (i) the Additional Banks shall become "Banks" for all
     purposes under the Amended Credit Agreement with the
     Commitments set forth on Schedule II hereto next to their
     names and (ii) the Departing Banks shall cease to be Banks
     for all purposes under the Amended Credit Agreement and the
     Commitments (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) of
     such Departing Banks shall be terminated.  Notwithstanding
     such termination and the other amendments effected by this
     Amendment, the Departing Banks shall continue to be entitled
     to the protection of Sections 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, 3.16, 3.18,
     3.19 and 10.5 of the Existing Credit Agreement and to any
     fees to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 3.7 of
     the Existing Credit Agreement up to, but not including, the
     Fifth Amendment Closing Date.

               (c)  Effective as of the Amendment Closing and by
     its execution hereof, each Departing Bank and each
     Continuing Bank with a Commitment under the Amended Credit
     Agreement that is less than its Commitment under the
     Existing Credit Agreement (each a "Decreasing Bank") hereby
     assigns to the Additional Banks and the Continuing Banks
     with respective Commitments under the Amended Credit
     Agreement that are greater than such Continuing Banks'
     respective Commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement
     (each an "Increasing Bank"), and, effective as of the
     Amendment Closing and by its execution hereof, each
     Additional Bank and Increasing Bank hereby purchases from
     the Departing Banks and the Decreasing Banks at the
     principal amount thereof, such interests in the Loans that
     are outstanding on the Fifth Amendment Closing Date under
     the Existing Credit Agreement and will continue to be
     outstanding as Loans under the Amended Credit Agreement
     ("Continuing Loans") as shall be necessary in order that,
     after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases,
     such Continuing Loans will be held by the Additional Banks
     and the Continuing Banks ratably in accordance with their
     respective Commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement. 
     Such assignments, purchases and acceptances shall be without
     recourse or representation, except that each Departing Bank
     and Decreasing Bank shall be deemed to have represented to
     each Additional Bank and Increasing Bank that it is the
     legal and beneficial owner of the interests assigned by it
     free and clear of any adverse claims arising by, through or
     under it.

               (d)  On the Fifth Amendment Closing Date, (i) each
     Additional Bank and Increasing Bank shall pay the purchase
     price for the interests purchased by it pursuant to
     paragraph (c) of this Section 4 by wire transfer of
     immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not
     later than 12:00 noon (New York time) and (ii) the
     Administrative Agent shall pay to each Departing Bank and
     Decreasing Bank out of the amounts received by the
     Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (i) of this
     paragraph (d), the purchase price for the interests assigned
     by it pursuant to such paragraph (c) by wire transfer of
     immediately available funds no later than 3:00 p.m. (New
     York time).  In addition, on the Fifth Amendment Closing
     Date, FI shall pay interest on each Loan outstanding (at the
     rate applicable to such Loan) for the period from the date
     of the last interest payment on such Loan to but not
     including the Fifth Amendment Closing Date.  FI shall pay
     such interest by wire transfer of immediately available
     funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m.
     (New York time) and the Administrative Agent shall pay the
     applicable Continuing Bank or Departing Bank, out of the
     amount so received from FI, such interest by wire transfer
     of immediately available funds no later than 3:00 p.m. (New
     York time).  The interest payable on each Continuing Loan on
     the next Interest Payment Date therefor occurring after the
     Fifth Amendment Closing Date shall be decreased by the
     amount of interest paid on such Continuing Loan pursuant to
     this Section 4(d).

               (e)  FI hereby consents to the assignments and
     purchases provided for in paragraphs (c) and (d) of this
     Section 4, and agrees that each Increasing Bank shall have
     all the rights of a Bank under the Amended Credit Agreement
     with respect to the interests in the Loans purchased by it
     pursuant to such paragraphs.  In the event that interests in
     any LIBO Rate Loan shall be assigned pursuant to
     paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 4 prior to the last
     day of the Interest Period for such Loan, each Departing
     Bank and Decreasing Bank that shall have assigned a portion
     of such Loan shall be deemed to have the same rights under
     Section 3.14 of the Amended Credit Agreement as it would
     have if the portion it assigned had been prepaid and each
     Additional Bank and Increasing Bank so purchasing a LIBO
     Rate Loan shall be entitled to receive reimbursement from FI
     for any loss or expense which such Additional Bank or
     Increasing Bank sustains or incurs as a result of making
     such Continuing Loan as of the Fifth Amendment Closing Date
     rather than on the first day of the current Interest Period
     for such Continuing Loan (it being understood that such loss
     or expense shall be payable for the period commencing with
     the Fifth Amendment Closing Date and ending with the next
     Interest Payment Date for such Continuing Loan).  Each
     Additional Bank, Decreasing Bank or Increasing Bank claiming
     compensation for any such loss or expense shall make such
     request for reimbursement pursuant to the same procedures
     provided in Section 3.13 of the Amended Credit Agreement for
     claiming of breakage amounts.

               SECTION 5.  Representations and Warranties.  As of
     the Fifth Amendment Closing Date(i) FTX represents and
     warrants with respect to itself only, (ii) FCX and FI
     jointly and severally represent and warrant with respect to
     FI and (iii) FCX represents and warrants with respect to
     itself, in each case to each Lender, the FI Trustee, the
     Agent and the Agents, as follows:

               (b)  FCX and FI are in compliance with all the
     terms and conditions of the Amended Credit Agreement and the
     other Loan Documents, and no Default or Event of Default
     (each as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) has
     occurred or is continuing, and each Transaction Party is in
     compliance with all the terms and conditions of the Existing
     Credit Agreement and no Default or Event of Default (each as

               (c)  Each of the Transaction Parties has the
     corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this
     Amendment.  The execution, delivery and performance of this
     Amendment has been duly authorized by each Transaction Party
     and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of
     such Transaction Party, enforceable against such Transaction
     Party in accordance with its terms, (ii) will not violate

     Domestication or the Indonesian Articles of Association, as
     applicable, or the By-laws of such Transaction Party,

     be bound, (iii) will not be in conflict with, result in a
     breach of or constitute (alone or with notice or lapse of

     or other instrument referred to in clause (ii)(C) above and
     (iv) will not result in the creation or imposition of any
     Lien upon any Transaction Party, except for the liens of the
     FCX Pledge Agreement and the FI Security Documents.

               SECTION 6.  Conditions to Closing.  The
