In connection with the Ralph Coffman contract, the Company in June 2009 reduced the Mississippi day rate for the remainder of its original two-year term.  In connection with the Coffman amendment (see Ralph Coffman), the Mississippi term was increased by approximately six months.  If McMoRan does not fulfill the original two-year commitment for the Coffman through work for the Coffman, Mississippi (beyond the original term) or other rigs (at low $180s day rate), the Company will earn a pro rata portion of the $18 million termination fee (plus interest), payable in installments over the remainder of the original Mississippi contract term.
