THIRD AMENDMENT
TO THE
PHELPS DODGE CORPORATION
SUPPLEMENTAL SAVINGS PLAN
 

 
 
Effective as of January 1, 1997, Phelps Dodge Corporation (the “Company”) adopted the Phelps Dodge Corporation Supplemental Savings Plan as an amendment and restatement of the supplemental savings provisions of the Comprehensive Executive Non-qualified Retirement and Savings Plan of Phelps Dodge Corporation.  The Plan was most recently amended and restated in its entirety generally effective as of January 1, 2005 to bring it into documentary compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and related Internal Revenue Service guidance and proposed regulations (collectively, “Section 409A”).  The Plan was subsequently amended on two occasions.  Pursuant to Sections 9.3 and 12.1 of the Plan, and as duly authorized by the Company, the Benefits Administration Committee (“BAC”) may amend the Plan at any time, prospectively or retroactively; provided, in relevant part, that (i) the amendment shall not reduce the interest of any Participant in the Plan, and (ii) no such amendment shall cause amounts to be paid in violation of Section 409A of the Code.  The BAC has determined that it is necessary or desirable to further amend the Plan in a manner that shall not reduce the interest of any Participant and is consistent with the requirements of Section 409A.
 
 
 

 
1.     This Amendment shall take effect as of the specific effective dates set forth below.
 
 
2.     Section 8.2(b) of the Plan is hereby amended, effective January 1, 2005, by inserting the following language after the fifth sentence in such section:
 
 
“Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, and in accordance with the transitional relief provided for calendar years 2006 and 2007 under Section 409A of the Code, the Company, in its discretion, may also accept a revised election form from any Participant, provided that the revised election shall take effect only if:  (i) the Company receives such revised election form on or prior to December 31, 2007, (ii) the Participant terminates employment on or prior to December 31, 2007, and (iii) the revised election form complies with all requirements in this Section 8.2(b) other than that contained in the immediately preceding sentence.
 
 
3.     Section 8.2(b) of the Plan is further amended, effective January 1, 2005, by inserting the following language at the end of the last sentence in such section:
 
  “, provided that any election to change the form of distribution from installment to lump sum made in accordance with the transitional relief provided under Section 409A of the Code shall not be considered to be a prohibited acceleration.”
 
 
4.     Effective April 4, 2007, the Plan is amended to add the following new Section 4.4 (Special Discretionary Company Contributions) to provide as follows:
 
4.4   SPECIAL DISCRETIONARY COMPANY CONTRIBUTIONS

(a)   ELIGIBILITY .  Participants eligible to receive Special Discretionary Company Contributions pursuant to this Section 4.4 may be designated by the Employer from time to time, in the Employer’s sole discretion, and any such designation shall be reflected in Appendix A attached hereto.
