The Company shall promptly notify the Offeror if, at any

time before the Effective Time, it becomes aware that any Falconbridge Information supplied in writing by the Company or its Subsidiaries for inclusion in the Inco Proxy Circular contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which it is made, or that the Falconbridge Information must otherwise be amended or supplemented and, in such event, shall cooperate with the Offeror in the preparation of a supplement or amendment to the Inco Proxy Circular.

     9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce more than one counterpart.
