Title of securities:

5.50% Guaranteed Notes Due 2010, Series RIO (“Series RIO Notes”)

Aggregate principal

amount:

$ 1,295,732,300.00

Price to public:

100% of principal amount, plus accrued interest, if any, from June 25, 2007

Principal amount per

Series RIO Note:

$50.00

Annual interest rate:

5.50% per year, payable quarterly starting September 15, 2007

Additional interest:

Equal to amount of any cash distributions made by the Guarantor to all holders of RIO ADSs, pursuant to a calculation described in the prospectus supplement

Threshold appreciation

price:

US$57.71, which is approximately 26% over the closing price of the RIO ADSs on the New York Stock Exchange of $45.80 on June 19, 2007 (the “initial price”).

Conversion rate:

If the twenty day market value (as defined in the prospectus supplement) of the RIO ADSs is equal to or greater than US$57.71 then the conversion rate will be 0.8664 RIO ADSs per Series RIO Note (the “minimum conversion rate”), which is equal to US$50.00 divided by US$57.71.

If the twenty day market value of the RIO ADSs is less than US$57.71 but greater than US$45.80, then the conversion rate per Series RIO Note will be equal to US$50.00 divided by the twenty day market value of the RIO ADSs.

If the twenty day market value of the RIO ADSs is less than or equal to US$45.80, then the conversion rate will be 1.0917 RIO ADSs per Series RIO Note (the “maximum conversion rate”), which is equal to US$50.00 divided by US$45.80.

Maturity / mandatory

conversion date:

June 15, 2010

Conversion examples:

The following chart shows examples of the number of ADSs that an investor would receive for each note at various twenty day market values.


		Twenty Day Market Value		Number of RIO ADSs Received at Maturity per Series RIO Note
		US$25.00		1.0917
		US$45.80		1.0917
		US$51.50		0.9709
		US$57.71		0.8664
		US$75.00		0.8664

The above chart illustrates that:

•

if the twenty day market value is greater than or equal to US$57.71 (the threshold appreciation price for the RIO ADSs), we will be obligated to deliver 0.8664 RIO ADSs for each note; as a consequence, the Issuer would receive 20.6% of the appreciation in market price above US$57.71 (the threshold appreciation price) and holders of the notes would receive 79.4% of the appreciation in market price above US$57.71 (the threshold appreciation price),

•

if the twenty day market value is greater than US$45.80 (the initial price of the notes) and less than US$57.71 (the threshold appreciation price), the Issuer will be obligated to deliver a number of RIO ADSs having a twenty day market value equal to US$50.00 (the principal amount of a note); as a consequence, the Issuer would retain all of the appreciation in the market price of the RIO ADSs, and

•

if the twenty day market value is less than or equal to US$45.80 (the initial price of the RIO Notes), the Issuer will be obligated to deliver 1.0917 RIO ADSs per note, regardless of the market price of the RIO ADSs; as a consequence, holders of the notes will bear the full risk of a decline in market price of the RIO ADSs.

Cash-acquisition

conversion rate:

The following table sets forth the cash acquisition conversion rate per Series RIO Note for each hypothetical stock price and effective date set forth below:


	RIO ADS Price on Effective Date

6/15/2008		1.0598		1.0342		1.0064		0.9798		0.9529		0.9367		0.9137		0.9084		0.8988		0.8915		0.8859		0.8817		0.8761		0.8729		0.8710		0.8699

6/15/2010		1.0917		1.0917		1.0917		1.0917		1.0917		1.0000		0.8664		0.8664		0.8664		0.8664		0.8664		0.8664		0.8664		0.8664		0.8664		0.8664

The exact ADS price with respect to Series RIO Notes and effective dates may not be set forth on the table, in which case:

•

if the applicable ADS price is between two ADS price amounts on the table or the effective date is between two dates on the table, the cash acquisition conversion rate will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the cash acquisition conversion rates set forth for the higher and lower ADS price amounts and the two dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;

•

if the applicable ADS price is in excess of US$120.00 per ADS (subject to adjustment as described in the prospectus supplement), then the cash acquisition conversion rate will be 0.8664, subject to adjustment; and

•

if the applicable ADS price is less than US$25.00 per ADS (subject to adjustment as described in the prospectus supplement), then the cash acquisition conversion rate will be 1.0917, subject to adjustment.

Principal amount per Series RIO P Note:		$50.00

Annual interest rate:		5.50% per year, payable quarterly starting September 15, 2007

Threshold appreciation price:		US$48.62, which is approximately 26% over the closing price of the RIO P ADSs on the New York Stock Exchange of $38.59 on June 19, 2007 (the “initial price”).

Conversion rate:		If the twenty day market value (as defined in the prospectus supplement) of the RIO P ADSs is equal to or greater than US$48.62 then the conversion rate will be 1.0283 RIO P ADSs per Series RIO P Note (the “minimum conversion rate”), which is equal to US$50.00 divided by US$48.62. If the twenty day market value of the RIO P ADSs is less than US$48.62 but greater than US$38.59, then the conversion rate per Series RIO P Note will be equal to US$50.00 divided by the twenty day market value of the RIO P ADSs. If the twenty day market value of the RIO P ADSs is less than or equal to US$38.59, then the conversion rate will be 1.2957 RIO P ADSs per Series RIO P Note (the “maximum conversion rate”), which is equal to US$50.00 divided by US$38.59.

		US$43.50		1.1494
		US$48.62		1.0283
		US$70.00		1.0283

The above chart illustrates that:

•

if the twenty day market value is greater than or equal to US$48.62 (the threshold appreciation price for the RIO P ADSs), we will be obligated to deliver 1.0283 RIO P ADSs for each note; as a consequence, the Issuer would receive 20.6% of the appreciation in market price above US$48.62 (the threshold appreciation price) and holders of the notes would receive 79.4% of the appreciation in market price above US$48.62 (the threshold appreciation price),

•

if the twenty day market value is greater than US$38.59 (the initial price of the notes) and less than US$48.62 (the threshold appreciation price), the Issuer will be obligated to deliver a number of RIO P ADSs having a twenty day market value equal to US$50.00 (the principal amount of a note); as a consequence, the Issuer would retain all of the appreciation in the market price of the RIO P ADSs, and

The Company and the Guarantor will within the time periods specified by Rule 424(b) transmit copies of the Final Prospectus to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Act and will furnish to the Underwriters as many copies of the Final Prospectus as you shall reasonably request.

The Company and the Guarantor will promptly advise you (1) when the Final Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, shall have been filed (if required) with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), (2) when, prior to termination of the offering of the Securities, any amendment to the Registration Statement shall have been filed or become effective, (3) of any request by the Commission or its staff for any amendment of the Registration Statement, or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, or for any supplement to the Final Prospectus or for any additional information, (4) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Act, (5) of the receipt by the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, of any notice of objection to the use of the Registration Statement, any amendment or supplement thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Act, any Preliminary Prospectus, or the Final Prospectus, and (6) of the receipt by the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company and the Guarantor will use their commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or notice of objection or the suspension of any such qualification and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

(c) The Company shall pay the required Commission filing fees relating to the Securities within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1) under the Act without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) under the Act.

(d) Unless otherwise specified in the Terms Agreement, the Company and the Guarantor will prepare a final term sheet, containing solely a description of final terms of the Securities and the offering thereof, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto and in the form approved by you and attached as Schedule III to the Terms Agreement and will file such term sheet pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act within the time required by such Rule.

(e) If, at any time prior to the filing of the Final Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b), any event occurs as a result of which the Disclosure Package would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made or the circumstances then prevailing not misleading, the Company and the Guarantor promptly will (i) notify you so that any use of the Disclosure Package may cease until it is amended or supplemented; (ii) amend or supplement the Disclosure Package to correct such statement or omission; and (iii) supply any amendment or supplement to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.

(f) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Act, any event occurs as a result of which the Final Prospectus as then supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made at such time not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Final Prospectus to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act, the Company and the Guarantor promptly will (1) notify you of such event, (2) prepare and file with the Commission an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance and (3) supply any supplemented Final Prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.

(g) As soon as practicable, the Guarantor will make generally available to its security holders and to the Representatives an earnings statement or statements of the Guarantor and its subsidiaries which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 under the Act.

(h) Upon request, the Company and the Guarantor will furnish to the Representatives and to counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, signed or conformed copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and to each other Underwriter a copy of the Registration Statement (without exhibits thereto) and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer may be required by the Act, as many copies of each Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any supplement thereto as the Representatives may reasonably request.

(i) The Company and the Guarantor will arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as you may designate and will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Securities; provided that in no event shall either the Company or the Guarantor be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject either of them to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the Securities, in any jurisdiction where either of them is not now so subject.

(j) Each of the Company and the Guarantor agrees that, unless it has or shall have obtained the prior written consent of the Representatives, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed by the Company and the Guarantor with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433 under the Act, other than a Free Writing Prospectus containing the information contained in the final term sheet prepared and filed pursuant to Section 4(d) hereto; provided that the prior written consent of Representatives shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Free Writing Prospectuses included in Schedule II to the Terms Agreement. Any such Free Writing Prospectus consented to by the Representatives or the Company is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” Each of the Company and the Guarantor agrees that (x) it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and (y) it has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 under the Act applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping.

(k) The Company and the Guarantor will furnish, upon request of an Underwriter, for a period of two years from the date of the Agreement (unless otherwise publicly available on the Commission’s ▇▇▇▇▇ website or the Company’s or the Guarantor’s website) (i) copies of any reports or other communications which the Guarantor shall send to its shareholders or which the Company or the Guarantor shall from time to time publish or publicly disseminate; (ii) copies of all annual and other reports filed with the Commission on Forms 20-F and 6-K, or such other similar form as may be designated by the Commission; and (iii) copies of documents or reports filed with any securities exchange on which any class of securities of the Company is listed, in each case, as soon as such reports, communications or documents become available.

(l) The Company and the Guarantor will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities in the manner set forth under the caption “Use of Proceeds” in the Prospectus Supplement.

SECTION 5. Conditions of Underwriters’ Obligation. The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase Securities pursuant to the Terms Agreement are subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of each of the Company and the Guarantor herein contained, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company’s directors and the Guarantor’s officers made in any certificate furnished pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by each of the Company and the Guarantor of all of its respective covenants and other obligations hereunder and to the following further conditions:

(a) The Company and the Guarantor shall have requested and caused the delivery of written opinions, substantially in the forms contemplated by the Terms Agreement.

(b) The Guarantor shall have requested and caused PricewaterhouseCoopers, independent auditors for the Guarantor, and such other independent auditors as may be specified in the Terms Agreement, to have furnished to you, at the Execution Time and at the Closing Date, letters (which may refer to letters previously delivered to one or more of you), dated respectively as of the Execution Time and as of the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to you, confirming that they are an independent registered public accounting firm within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act and covering the matters that are ordinarily covered by “comfort letters” drafted in accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards No. 72.

(c) The Company shall have furnished to you a certificate, signed by two directors of the Company with specific knowledge of the financial matters of the Company, reasonably satisfactory to you, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the signers of such certificate have carefully examined the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus and any supplements or amendments thereto, and the Terms Agreement and that:

(i) the representations and warranties of the Company in the Agreement are true and correct on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date and the Company has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date;

(ii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose or under Section 8A of the Act have been instituted or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened; and

(iii) since the date of the most recent financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there has been no material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Company, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

(d) The Guarantor shall have furnished to you a certificate, signed by two executive officers of the Guarantor with specific knowledge of the financial matters of the Guarantor, reasonably satisfactory to you, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the signers of such certificate have carefully examined the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus and any supplements or amendments thereto, and the Terms Agreement and that:

(i) the representations and warranties of the Guarantor in the Agreement are true and correct on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date and the Guarantor has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date;

(iii) since the date of the most recent financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there has been no material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Guarantor and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto); and

(iv) since the Execution Time, there has not been any decrease in the rating of any of the debt securities issued by or guaranteed by the Company by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Act) or any notice given of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or of a possible change in any such rating that does not indicate the direction of the possible change.

(e) Subsequent to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof), the Disclosure Package (exclusive of any amendment thereof) and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there shall not have been any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, business or properties of the Guarantor and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto) the effect of which is, in your sole judgment, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof) and the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

(f) Subsequent to the Execution Time, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of any of the debt securities issued by or guaranteed by either the Company or the Guarantor by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Act) or any notice given of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or of a possible change in any such rating that does not indicate the direction of the possible change.

(g) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company and the Guarantor shall have furnished to the Underwriters such further information, certificates and documents as the Underwriters may reasonably request.

SECTION 6. Payment of Expenses. All expenses incident to the performance of each party’s obligations under this agreement shall be paid in the manner specified in the Terms Agreement.

SECTION 7. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company and the Guarantor, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls each Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other existing Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other documented expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company and the Guarantor will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with Underwriter Information furnished to the Company or the Guarantor by or on behalf of any Underwriter expressly for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company and the Guarantor may otherwise have.

(b) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantor, each of their respective directors, each of their respective officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company or the Guarantor within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Guarantor to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company or the Guarantor by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have. The Company and the Guarantor acknowledge that the statements identified in the Terms Agreement as “Underwriter Information” constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. It is understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of only one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such indemnified parties. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify each indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 7 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company, the Guarantor and the Underwriters severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other documented expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company and the Guarantor and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities; provided, however, that in no case shall any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters relating to the offering of the Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Guarantor and the Underwriters severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company or the Guarantor on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company, the Guarantor and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company or the Guarantor within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company or the Guarantor who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Guarantor, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

SECTION 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements, including the agreement of the Company and the Guarantor in Section 7 hereof with respect to indemnity and contribution, contained in this agreement or contained in certificates issued by the Company and the Guarantor, as the case may be, submitted pursuant

hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this agreement, or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or controlling person, or by or on behalf of the Company or the Guarantor, and shall survive delivery of any Securities to the Underwriters, provided, however, that no such representations and warranties or agreements shall be deemed to have been given as to any point in time other than the date hereof or as otherwise expressly provided herein. The provisions in Sections 6 and 7 shall survive the termination or cancellation of this agreement.

SECTION 9. Termination. The Agreement shall be subject to termination in your absolute discretion, by notice given to the Company and the Guarantor prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such delivery and payment (i) the Company or the Guarantor shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform any agreement on its part to be performed under this agreement or the Terms Agreement when and as required, (ii) trading in the Guarantor’s American Depositary Receipts shall have been suspended by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange or trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such Exchange, (iii) there shall have occurred a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States, (iv) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis (economic, political, financial or otherwise) the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto) or (vi) there shall have been, since the time of the execution of this agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, business or properties of the Guarantor and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), the effect of which is, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by any Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

SECTION 10. Default by an Underwriter. If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail at the Closing Date to purchase the Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under the Agreement (the “Defaulted Securities”), then you shall have the right, within 36 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth. If, however, by the end of such 36 hours you shall not have completed such arrangements for the purchase of all the Defaulted Securities then:

(a) if the aggregate amount of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of the Securities to be purchased pursuant to the Terms Agreement, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of

all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or

(b) if the aggregate amount of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the aggregate amount of the Securities to be purchased pursuant to the Terms Agreement, this agreement shall terminate, without any liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company and the Guarantor.

In the event of a default by any Underwriter or Underwriters as set forth in this Section 10, either you or the Company or the Guarantor shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for a period not exceeding seven days in order that any required changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this Section 10 shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under the Agreement.

SECTION 11. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Underwriters shall be directed to you at the address indicated in the Terms Agreement; notices to the Company or the Guarantor shall be directed to each of them at Diretoria Financeira, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇. ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (telefax: 5521-3814-4679), Attention: Finance Department.

SECTION 12. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This agreement and each Terms Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in such State. Each of the Company and the Guarantor submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Federal or State court in the City, County and State of New York, United States of America, in any legal suit, action or proceeding based on or arising under this agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of such suit or proceeding may be determined in any such court. Each of the Company and the Guarantor waives, to the extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum or objections to personal jurisdiction with respect to the maintenance of such legal suit, action or proceeding. Each of the Company and the Guarantor hereby designates and appoints Rio Doce America, Inc. (the “Process Agent”), as its authorized agent, upon whom process may be served in any such legal suit, action or proceeding, it being understood that the designation and appointment of the Process Agent as such authorized agent shall become effective immediately without any further action on the part of either the Company or the Guarantor. Such appointment shall be irrevocable to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the appointment of a successor agent in the United States on terms substantially similar to those contained in this Section 12 and reasonably satisfactory to you. If the Process Agent shall cease to act as agent for services of process for either the Company or the Guarantor, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall appoint, without unreasonable delay, another such agent, and notify you of such appointment. Each of the Company and the Guarantor represents to the Underwriters that it has notified the Process Agent of such designation and appointment and that the Process Agent has accepted the same in writing. Each of the Company and the Guarantor hereby authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service. Each of the Company and the Guarantor further agrees that service of process upon the Process Agent and written notice of said service to such party shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process

upon the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, in any such legal suit, action or proceeding. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 13. Parties. This agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon you, the Company and the Guarantor, and their respective successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this agreement is intended or shall be construed as given to any person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and the controlling persons and officers and directors referred to in Section 7 and their heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this agreement or any provision herein contained. This agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties and their respective successors and said controlling persons and officers and directors and their heirs and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no other person, firm or corporation. No purchaser of Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.

SECTION 14. No Fiduciary Duty. The Company and the Guarantor acknowledge and agree that: (i) nothing herein shall create a fiduciary or agency relationship between the Company or the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other; (ii) the Underwriters are not acting as advisors, expert or otherwise, to the Company or the Guarantor in connection with this offering, sale of the Securities or any other services the Underwriters may be deemed to be providing hereunder, including, without limitation, with respect to the public offering price of the Securities and the Company and the Guarantor shall consult with their own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making their own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby and the Underwriter shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company or the Guarantor with respect to such investigation or appraisal, (iii) the relationship between the Company and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (iv) any duties and obligations that the Underwriters may have to the Company or the Guarantor shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; and (v) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the Company and the Guarantor.

SECTION 15. Judgment Currency. Each of the Company and the Guarantor agrees to indemnify each Underwriter against any loss incurred by such Underwriter as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due hereunder and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than United States dollars and as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the United States dollar amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange at which such Underwriter is able to purchase United States dollars with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by the Underwriter. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Company and the Guarantor, as the case may be, and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency.

SECTION 16. Waiver of Immunities. To the extent that the Company or the Guarantor or any of their respective properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled to, or have attributed to them, any right of immunity, on the grounds of sovereignty, from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from set-off or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any court, from service of process, from attachment upon or prior to judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution of judgment, or from execution of judgment, or other legal process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of any judgment, in any jurisdiction in which proceedings may at any time be commenced, with respect to their obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with this agreement or any additional agreement, the Company and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waive and agree not to plead or claim any such immunity and consents to such relief and enforcement.

Vale Capital Limited

$1,295,732,300

5.50% Guaranteed Notes due 2010, Series RIO

Mandatorily Convertible into American Depositary Shares,

each representing one common share of Companhia Vale do Rio Doce


Issuer:	Vale Capital Limited

Guarantor	Companhia Vale do Rio Doce

Ticker of Guarantor ADSs / Exchange:	RIO / The New York Stock Exchange

Title of securities:	5.50% Guaranteed Notes Due 2010, Series RIO (“Series RIO Notes”)

Aggregate principal amount:	$1,295,732,300.00

Price to public:	100% of principal amount, plus accrued interest, if any, from June 25, 2007

Principal amount per Series RIO Note:	$50.00

Annual interest rate:	5.50% per year, payable quarterly starting September 15, 2007

Additional interest:	Equal to amount of any cash distributions made by the Guarantor to all holders of RIO ADSs, pursuant to a calculation described in the prospectus supplement

Threshold appreciation price:	US$57.71, which is approximately 26% over the closing price of the RIO ADSs on the New York Stock Exchange of $45.80 on June 19, 2007 (the “initial price”).

Conversion rate:	If the twenty day market value (as defined in the prospectus supplement) of the RIO ADSs is equal to or greater than US$57.71 then the conversion rate will be 0.8664 RIO ADSs per Series RIO Note (the “minimum conversion rate”), which is equal to US$50.00 divided by US$57.71. If the twenty day market value of the RIO ADSs is less than US$57.71 but greater than US$45.80, then the conversion rate per Series RIO Note will be equal to US$50.00 divided by the twenty day market value of the RIO ADSs. If the twenty day market value of the RIO ADSs is less than or equal to US$45.80, then the conversion rate will be 1.0917 RIO ADSs per Series RIO Note (the “maximum conversion rate”), which is equal to US$50.00 divided by US$45.80.
Maturity / mandatory conversion date:	June 15, 2010

Conversion examples:	The following chart shows examples of the number of ADSs that an investor would receive for each note at various twenty day market values.

	Twenty Day Market Value	Number of RIO ADSs Received at Maturity per Series RIO Note
	US$25.00	1.0917
	US$45.80	1.0917
	US$51.50	0.9709
	US$57.71	0.8664
	US$75.00	0.8664


		The above chart illustrates that: • if the twenty day market value is greater than or equal to US$57.71 (the threshold appreciation price for the RIO ADSs), we will be obligated to deliver 0.8664 RIO ADSs for each note; as a consequence, the Issuer would receive 20.6% of the appreciation in market price above US$57.71 (the threshold appreciation price) and holders of the notes would receive 79.4% of the appreciation in market price above US$57.71 (the threshold appreciation price), • if the twenty day market value is greater than US$45.80 (the initial price of the notes) and less than US$57.71 (the threshold appreciation price), the Issuer will be obligated to deliver a number of RIO ADSs having a twenty day market value equal to US$50.00 (the principal amount of a note); as a consequence, the Issuer would retain all of the appreciation in the market price of the RIO ADSs, and • if the twenty day market value is less than or equal to US$45.80 (the initial price of the RIO Notes), the Issuer will be obligated to deliver 1.0917 RIO ADSs per note, regardless of the market price of the RIO ADSs; as a consequence, holders of the notes will bear the full risk of a decline in market price of the RIO ADSs.

		The exact ADS price with respect to Series RIO Notes and effective dates may not be set forth on the table, in which case: • if the applicable ADS price is between two ADS price amounts on the table or the effective date is between two dates on the table, the cash acquisition conversion rate will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the cash acquisition conversion rates set forth for the higher and lower ADS price amounts and the two dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year; • if the applicable ADS price is in excess of US$120.00 per ADS (subject to adjustment as described in the prospectus supplement), then the cash acquisition conversion rate will be 0.8664, subject to adjustment; and • if the applicable ADS price is less than US$25.00 per ADS (subject to adjustment as described in the prospectus supplement), then the cash acquisition conversion rate will be 1.0917, subject to adjustment.
