carried forward to the immediately subsequent quarter

� The Royalties will be calculated based on:

� (i) For iron ore loads: US$5.00, escalated annually by the

� Royalties will be measured at year end, to pay the higher of the

actual tons of shipments carried out in LLX Sudeste Port or the

MMX Iron ore off-take agreements. The formula below provides for

this effect:

� 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarters Royalties:

R = TM x VpT

where:

R = Royalties in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quarters

TM = Measured Tonnage in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quarters� (i) For iron ore loads: US$5.00, escalated annually by the

variation of the U.S. Producer Price Index, per ton of iron ore

loaded at the LLX Sudeste Port (“Iron Ore Per-Ton Amount”)

� (ii) For other loads: the Royalties will be calculated based on the

Load Margin(1), up to US$ 5.00, (which amount will be restated

annually to the U.S. Producer Price Index) (“Other Cargo Per-

Ton Amount”)

(1) “Load Margin” means, in relation to any load other than iron ore, the difference between the per-ton “cash cost” of transportation and the per-ton amount effectively charged by Sudeste port for the shipment.(2) The Take-or-Pay Tonnage of MMX contracted with Sudeste Port as of this date is as follows: for 2013, 10.4 million tons; for 2014, 25.5 million tons; and from 2015 to and including 2033, 27.2 million tons annually.

TM = Measured Tonnage in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quarters

VpT = Iron Ore Per-Ton Amount or Other Cargo Per-Ton

Amount, as applicable

� 4th quarter Royalties:

R = [TM4Q + (TToP – TM)] x VpT

Provided that (TToP – TM) > 0, where:

R = Royalties in the 4th quarter

TM4Q = Average Tonnage in the 4th quarter

TToP = annual Take-or-Pay Tonnage(2)

TM = annual Measured Tonnage

VpT = Iron Ore Per-Ton Amount or Other Cargo Per-Ton

Amount, as applicable
