counsel, Walkers (Cayman) LLP, that although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United
States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will, based on the principle that a judgment by a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment
debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given, recognize and enforce a foreign judgment of a court having jurisdiction
over a defendant according to Cayman Islands conflict of law rules, by way of fresh proceedings brought in the Cayman Islands suing for
the amounts due pursuant to the foreign judgment. To be so enforced the foreign judgment must be final and conclusive and for a liquidated
sum (or, in certain circumstances, for <I>in personam</I> non-money relief) and not in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty or similar
fiscal or revenue obligations or of a kind inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matters or obtained in a

<P STYLE="font: bold 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: center">LEGAL OWNERSHIP OF DEBT SECURITIES</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0in">In this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement,
when we refer to the &#8220;holders&#8221; of debt securities as being entitled to specified rights or payments, we mean only the actual
legal holders of the debt securities. While you will be the holder if you hold a security registered in your name, more often than not
the registered holder will actually be either a broker, bank, other financial institution or, in the case of a global security, a depositary.
Our obligations, as well as the obligations of the trustee, any registrar, any depositary and any third parties employed by us or the
other entities listed above, run only to persons who are registered as holders of our debt securities, except as may be specifically provided
for in a contract governing the debt securities. For example, once we make a payment to the registered holder, we have no further responsibility
for the payment even if that registered holder is legally required to pass the payment along to you as a street name customer but does
not do so.</P>

<P STYLE="font: bold 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt">Street Name and Other Indirect Holders</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0in">Holding debt securities in accounts with banks
or brokers is called holding in &#8220;street name.&#8221; If you hold our debt securities in street name, we will recognize only the
bank or broker, or the financial institution that the bank or broker uses to hold the debt securities, as a holder. These intermediary
banks, brokers, other financial institutions and depositaries pass along to you, as an indirect holder, principal, interest, dividends
and other payments, if any, on the debt securities, either because they agree to do so in their customer agreements or because they are
legally required to do so. This means that if you are an indirect holder, you will need to coordinate with the institution through which
you hold your interest in a security in order to determine how the provisions involving holders described in this prospectus and any prospectus
supplement will actually apply to you. For example, if the debt security in which you hold a beneficial interest in street name can be
repaid at the option of the holder, you cannot redeem it yourself by following the procedures described in the prospectus supplement relating
to that security. Instead, you would need to cause the institution through which you hold your interest to take those actions on your
behalf. Your institution may have procedures and deadlines different from or additional to those described in the applicable prospectus
supplement.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0in">If you hold our debt securities in street name
or through other indirect means, you should check with the institution through which you hold your interest in a security to find out,
among other things:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0in">A global security is a special type of indirectly
held security. If we issue debt securities in the form of global securities, the ultimate beneficial owners can only be indirect holders.
We do this by requiring that the global security be registered in the name of a financial institution we select and by requiring that
the debt securities included in the global security not be transferred to the name of any other direct holder unless the special circumstances
described below occur. The financial institution that acts as the sole direct holder of the global security is called the &#8220;depositary.&#8221;
Any person wishing to own a security issued in global form must do so indirectly through an account with a broker, bank or other financial institution
that in turn has an account with the depositary. The prospectus supplement will indicate whether the debt securities will be issued only
as global securities.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0in">The indentures and their associated documents
contain the full legal text of the matters described in this section. We have agreed in each indenture that New York law governs the indenture
and the debt securities. We have filed a copy of the Vale indenture and the Vale Overseas indenture with the SEC as exhibits to our registration
statement. We have consented in each indenture to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. federal and state courts sitting in the borough
of Manhattan in the City of New York. (<I>Sections 1.12 and 1.14</I>)</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0in">Because this section is a summary, it does not
describe every aspect of the debt securities. This summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to all the provisions
of the indentures, including the definition of various terms used in the indentures. For example, we describe the meanings for only the
more important terms that have been given special meanings in the indentures. We also include references in parentheses to some sections
of the indentures. Whenever we refer to particular sections or defined terms of the indentures in this prospectus or in any prospectus
supplement, those sections or defined terms are incorporated by reference herein or in such prospectus supplement.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0in">We may issue original issue discount securities,
which are debt securities that are offered and sold at a substantial discount to their stated principal amount. We may also issue indexed
securities or securities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, currency units or composite currencies, as described in
more detail in the prospectus supplement relating to any such debt securities. We will describe the U.S. federal income tax consequences
and any other special considerations applicable to original issue discount, indexed or foreign currency debt securities in the applicable

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0in">You may exchange or transfer your registered debt

registered debt securities. The entity that maintains the list of registered holders is called the &#8220;security registrar.&#8221; It
will also register transfers of the registered debt securities. (<I>Sections 3.4 and 10.2</I>)</P>

for any registration of transfer or exchange of the debt securities, but you may be required to pay any tax or other governmental charge
associated with the registration of transfer or exchange. The registration of transfer or exchange of a registered debt security will
only be made if you have duly endorsed the debt security or provided the security registrar with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory
in form to the security registrar. (<I>Section 3.4</I>)</P>

we will pay interest to you if you are listed in the trustee&#8217;s records as a direct holder at the close of business on a particular
day in advance of each due date for interest, even if you no longer own the security on the interest due date. That particular day is
called the &#8220;regular record date&#8221; and will be stated in the prospectus supplement. (<I>Sections 3.6 and 3.1.5</I>)</P>

and any other money due on global registered debt securities pursuant to the applicable procedures of the depositary or, if the debt securities
are not in global form, at our office or agency maintained for that purpose in New York City. We may also choose to pay interest by mailing
checks. We may also arrange for additional payment offices, and we may cancel or change our use of these offices, including the trustee&#8217;s
corporate trust office. These offices are called &#8220;paying agents.&#8221; We may also choose to act as our own paying agent. (<I>Sections

that we pay as principal, premium or interest to a paying agent, or then held by us in trust, that remains unclaimed at the end of two
years after the amount is due to a direct holder will be repaid to us or (if then held in trust) discharged from trust. After that two-year
period, direct holders may look only to us for payment and not to the trustee, any other paying agent or anyone else. (<I>Section 10.3</I>)</P>

a redemption date, it will also specify one or more redemption prices, which may be expressed as a percentage of the principal amount
of your debt security or by reference to one or more formula used to determine the redemption price. It may also specify one or more redemption
periods during which the redemption prices relating to a redemption of debt securities during those periods will apply.</P>

a redemption commencement date, we may redeem your debt security at our option at any time on or after that date. If we redeem your debt
security, we will do so at the specified redemption price, together with interest accrued to the redemption date. If different prices
are specified for different redemption periods, the price we pay will be the price that applies to the redemption period during which
your debt security is redeemed. If less than all of the debt securities are redeemed, the trustee will authenticate and deliver to the
holder of such debt securities without service charge, a new debt security or securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any
authorized denomination as requested by such holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal
of the debt security so surrendered. If less than all of the debt securities are redeemed, the debt securities to be redeemed will be
selected in accordance with the applicable procedures of the depositary, or in the case of certificated debt securities by lot or, <I>pro

we must give you between 30 and 60 days&#8217; notice before redeeming the debt securities. No notice may be given earlier than 90 days

such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges. In such event, Vale, Vale Overseas or their successors, as applicable, will make
such deduction or withholding, make payment of the amount so withheld to the appropriate governmental authority and pay such additional
amounts as may be necessary to ensure that the net amounts receivable by holders of debt securities after such withholding or deduction

for indemnification of directors and officers. Vale Overseas&#8217; Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that Vale Overseas
shall indemnify officers and directors and their personal representatives against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses,
losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained in or about the conduct of Vale Overseas&#8217; business or affairs or in the execution
or discharge of their duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred in defending
(whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning Vale Overseas in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere. Vale Overseas&#8217;
Memorandum and Articles of Association further provides that no officer or director shall be liable, among other things, for acts, omissions,
losses, damages or other misfortune arising from their execution or discharge of duties, powers, authorities, discretions of office or
in relation thereto, unless resulting from the officer&#8217;s or director&#8217;s dishonesty.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Neither the laws of Brazil nor Vale&#8217;s bylaws or other constitutive
documents provide for indemnification of directors and officers.&nbsp; Under the Brazilian Civil Code, a person engaged in an illegal
action must indemnify any third person that incurred losses or damages arising from such illegal action.&nbsp; Vale has also entered into
an indemnification agreement with each of its directors and officers, providing for indemnification for losses incurred by such director
or officer as a result of actions or omissions in the performance of his or her functions or as a result of being a director or officer
of Vale, subject to certain exceptions. Vale maintains standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (a) to its directors
and officers against loss rising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and (b) to Vale itself with respect
to payments which may be made by Vale to such officers and directors pursuant to the above indemnification provisions or otherwise as
a matter of law.</P>

of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by a registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of such registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, such registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.</P>

thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i)&nbsp;will not relieve it from liability under paragraph&nbsp;(a) or&nbsp;(b)

(including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if

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,

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 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 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 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 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 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&nbsp;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 within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the
Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as
the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph&nbsp;(d).</P>

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

only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company or the Guarantor by or on behalf of such

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.</P>

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
&#8220;<U>Losses</U>&#8221;) 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 them, 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&nbsp;(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).</P>

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 the Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of such suit or proceeding may be determined

of the company, would be voidable upon the application of the company's liquidator pursuant to section 145(1) of the Companies Act, if

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in">1. The Vale Securities to be issued under the Vale

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Insofar as the foregoing opinions relate to the validity,
binding effect or enforceability of any agreement or obligation of Vale or Vale Overseas, (a) we have assumed that each of Vale and Vale
Overseas, as the case may be, and each other party to such agreement or obligation has satisfied or, prior to the issuance of the Securities,
will satisfy those legal requirements that are applicable to it to the extent necessary to make such agreement or obligation enforceable
against it (except that no such assumption is made as to Vale or Vale Overseas regarding matters of the federal law of the United States
of America or the law of the State of New York that in our experience normally would be applicable to general business entities in relation
to transactions of the type contemplated in the Vale Indenture, the Vale Overseas Indenture and the Securities), (b) such opinions are
subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors&#8217; rights generally and to general principles of
equity and (c) such opinions are subject to the effect of judicial application of foreign laws or foreign governmental actions affecting
creditors&#8217; rights.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in">In rendering the opinions expressed in paragraphs 1,
2 and 3 above, we have assumed that each series of Securities will be issued with an original aggregate principal amount (or, in the case

into any necessary supplemental indenture relating to the Securities and will take any other appropriate additional corporate action;

of any immunities from court jurisdiction and from legal process is subject to the limitations imposed by the U.S. Foreign Sovereign Immunities
Act of 1976 and (b) the designation in Section 1.14 of the Vale Indenture and the Vale Overseas Indenture of the U.S. federal courts located
in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York as the venue for actions or proceedings relating to the Vale Indenture, the Vale Overseas
Indenture, the Securities and the Guarantees is (notwithstanding the waiver in Section 1.14) subject to the power of such courts to transfer
actions pursuant to 28 U.S.C. &sect; 1404(a) or to dismiss such actions or proceedings on the grounds that such a federal court is an
inconvenient forum for such actions or proceedings.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in">With respect to any Securities that may be issued in
a currency other than U.S. dollars, we note that by statute New York provides that a judgment or decree rendered in a currency other than
the currency of the United States shall be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of entry of the
judgment or decree. There is no corresponding Federal statute and no controlling Federal court decision on this issue. Accordingly, we
express no opinion as to whether a Federal court would award a judgment in a currency other than U.S. dollars or, if it did so, whether
it would order conversion of the judgment into U.S. dollars.</P>
