3.4	If, at any time, Tronox Purchaser or Exxaro becomes aware of a fact or circumstance that is reasonably likely to prevent any of the Conditions from being satisfied, it shall inform the other of the matter as soon as reasonably practicable and keep each other apprised of the status of such matter.

3.5

Tronox Purchaser and Exxaro shall accept any condition or undertakings reasonably proposed by SARB but shall be under no obligation to accept any such condition or undertaking if it may materially prejudice any member of the Tronox Group or the Exxaro Group (as the case may be) or such conditions or undertakings are commercially unreasonable (for the avoidance of doubt Tronox Purchaser and Exxaro acknowledge and agree that an obligation to ensure the repatriation of the Relevant Consideration to an account at a South African financial institution in the Republic of South Africa shall not be materially prejudicial or commercially unreasonable).

4.	COMPLETION OF UK SALE

Exxaro, Tronox Global Holdings and Tronox Purchaser shall do all things respectively required of each of them under this clause 4 and Schedule 2.

4.4

If a Relevant Completion does not take place on the Relevant Completion Date because either Exxaro or any Tronox Party fails in any respect to comply with any of its obligations under this clause 4 and Schedule 2 (whether or not such failure to comply would amount to a repudiatory breach at common law), Tronox Purchaser (in the case of such a failure by Exxaro) or Exxaro (in the case of such a failure by any Tronox Party) may by notice to the other elect to:

4.4.1

proceed to such Relevant Completion to the extent reasonably practicable (without limiting the rights under this Agreement of any Tronox Party, or as the case may be, Exxaro); or

4.4.2

postpone such Relevant Completion to a date not more than five Business Days after the Relevant Completion Date (or such other date as may be agreed between Tronox Purchaser and Exxaro).

4.5	If the Relevant Completion is postponed to another date in accordance with clause 4.4.2, the provisions of this Agreement apply as if that other date is the Relevant Completion Date.

4.6	Tronox Purchaser is not obliged to complete the transfer of the Tranche 1 Interests or the Tranche 2 Interests unless Exxaro complies with all of its obligations (applicable to the transfer of the Tranche 1 Interests or Tranche 2 Interests, as the case may be) under this clause 4 and Schedule 2.

Exxaro undertakes to not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Tronox Shares that it holds or beneficially owns, save as permitted under clause 11 and Schedule 3.

8.	FLIP-IN RIGHTS

Primary Put and Call Options

8.1	Tronox and Exxaro can exercise any Option (as defined below) in accordance with this clause 8.1 and subject to clauses 8.2 and 8.3 below:

8.1.1

At any time following the occurrence of a Triggering Event with respect to one or both of the South African Subsidiaries, upon 5-10 Business Days’ notice to Tronox on a proposed Business Day indicated in the notice (a “Put Option Closing Date”), Exxaro has the right, in one exercise or in separate exercises, to put to Tronox (or its nominee) for purchase all (but not less than all) of the following (each, a “Put Option”):

(a)

if the Triggering Event occurs with respect to Tronox KZN Sands: the KZN Shares, in consideration for the applicable Flip-in Cash Consideration;

(b)

if the Triggering Event occurs with respect to Tronox Mineral Sands: the Mineral Sands Shares, in consideration for the applicable Flip-in Cash Consideration.

8.1.2

At any time following the occurrence of a Triggering Event Call with respect to one or both of the South African Subsidiaries, upon 5-10 Business Days’ notice to Exxaro on a proposed Business Day indicated in the notice (as such date may be extended pursuant to this clause 8.1.2, a “Call Option Closing Date” and, together with any Put Option Closing Date or any other Call Option Closing Date, each an “Option Closing Date”), Tronox has the right, in one exercise or in separate exercises, to call from Exxaro all (but not less than all) of the following (each, a “Call Option” and, together with the Put Options, each an “Option”); provided that, upon written notice to Tronox following any exercise of a Call Option, Exxaro may delay such Call Option Closing Date for up to a

3-month period, which period may be extended for up to 4 additional 3-month periods by written notice to Tronox at least 3 Business Days prior to the end of each additional 3-month period:

(a)

if the Triggering Event Call occurs with respect to Tronox KZN Sands: the KZN Shares in consideration for the applicable Flip-in Cash Consideration;

(b)

if the Triggering Event Call occurs with respect to Tronox Mineral Sands: the Mineral Sands Shares in consideration for the applicable Flip-in Cash Consideration;

8.1.3

Tronox Issuer may elect to issue the applicable Flip-in Shares to Exxaro in lieu of paying the Flip-in Cash Consideration by giving written notice to Exxaro, promptly following any Put Option exercise by Exxaro, or together with its written notice to exercise a Call Option.

8.1.4

Where each of Tronox and Exxaro has sent a notice exercising its Option under clause 8.1.1 or 8.1.2 above (as appropriate), the notice received second in time will be deemed to be ineffective.

8.1.5

If there is a different notice period in the South African SHA with respect to the exercise of either of the Options, the notice period in this Agreement shall prevail.

Limits on Exercise of the Put Option and Call Option

8.2	All capitalised terms used without definition in this clause 8.2, unless otherwise defined, have the meanings assigned in the Shareholders’ Deed.

8.2.1

If exercise of the Call Option by Tronox would cause the number of Tronox Shares beneficially owned by Exxaro and its Affiliates to exceed the Limit, Section 3(c) of the Shareholders’ Deed does not apply to such acquisition of such beneficially owned Tronox Shares as a result of exercise of the Call Option but shall apply to any acquisitions thereafter.

8.2.2

For the purposes of Article 152 of the Tronox Holdings Articles, an increase in the number of Tronox Shares beneficially owned by Exxaro or an Affiliate of Exxaro as a result of the issue of Flip-in Shares in compliance with this clause 8 is exempted.

8.2.3

If only some of the South African Shares are subject to an exercise of the Options in compliance with this clause 8, then the number of such South African Shares will be pro rata to the total number of shares in each South African Subsidiary.

Immediate exercise of Put Option

8.3

If Tronox determines (acting reasonably) that a person other than Exxaro and its Affiliates (or any Section 13(d) Group (as defined in the Shareholders’ Deed) of which any such person is a member) has acquired beneficial ownership of greater than fifty percent (50%) of the Tronox Issuer (other than as contemplated by the Tronox Schemes), Tronox shall promptly notify Exxaro of Tronox Issuer’s change in ownership structure, and Exxaro may immediately exercise the Put Option.

South African CGT

8.4	As provided in the 2012 Exxaro Shareholders’ Deed, where Tronox exercises the Call Option and, as a direct result thereof, there is a South African capital gains Tax assessed on Exxaro in respect of the South African Shares that are the subject of the Call Option, subject to clause 8.5

below, Tronox LLC covenants to pay Exxaro an amount equal to the difference between (A) the amount of such South African capital gains Tax that was actually so assessed on and paid by Exxaro and (B) the amount of such South African capital gains Tax that would have been so assessed on Exxaro if Exxaro had exercised the Put Option (under the 2012 Exxaro Shareholders’ Deed) on 15 June 2012.

8.5

If Tronox is considering whether to exercise the Call Option, Exxaro must, following a written request from Tronox, use its best efforts to estimate the South African capital gains Tax that would be payable by Tronox LLC under clause 8.4 above if the Call Option were exercised on a date specified by Tronox, including providing evidence for the basis of Exxaro’s calculation to the reasonable satisfaction of Tronox.

8.6

If Exxaro receives an assessment (an “Assessment”) of South African capital gains Tax in respect of South African Shares that are the subject of the Call Option and in respect of which Tronox has a liability under clause 8.4 above (the “Call Option CGT”), Exxaro must provide a copy of the Assessment to Tronox within five days. Exxaro must (at the sole expense and cost of Tronox):

8.6.1

follow Tronox’s reasonable directions in relation to the Assessment, which directions may include, without limitation:

(a)

disputing the Assessment and defending proceedings in relation to it (including choice of counsel);

(b)

bringing proceedings to recover any money paid in respect of the Assessment (including choice of counsel);

8.6.2

not enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise any matter which relates to Call Option CGT without the consent of Tronox, acting reasonably;

8.6.3

keep Tronox fully and timely informed with respect to all aspects of conduct of any dispute or proceedings and discussions with any revenue authority in relation to the Assessment and, where appropriate, enable representatives of Tronox to participate in such discussions; and

8.6.4

reasonably cooperate with Tronox in relation to the conduct of any dispute or proceedings and make personnel, records, materials and information available to Tronox for this purpose,

provided that in determining what are reasonable directions by Tronox under this clause 8.6, regard shall be had to the prospect of success of the proceedings or actions contemplated by such directions.

8.7	If Tronox LLC makes a payment in respect of the Call Option CGT and Exxaro subsequently receives a refund of tax of Call Option CGT, Exxaro must promptly pay the refund to Tronox LLC.

Preemptive Rights

8.8	For the avoidance of doubt, the pre-emptive rights provided in Section 4 of the Shareholders’ Deed shall not apply to the issuance of the Flip-in Shares.

Option Closing

8.9	Upon an exercise of an Option, the exchange of the South African Shares for the Flip-in Shares or Flip-in Cash Consideration (as applicable) shall be effected on any Option Closing Date as follows:

8.9.1

Exxaro undertakes that it shall deliver share certificates, share transfer forms and other deliverables customary and proper to transfer the relevant South African Shares, free and clear of any liens, restrictions on transfer (other than any restrictions under the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws and the provisions of the Shareholders’ Deed), options, warrants, rights, calls, commitments, proxies or other contract rights to Tronox and deliver resignations of any Exxaro-appointed directors; and

8.9.2

Tronox undertakes that it shall, simultaneously with the transfer in clause 8.9.1 above:

(a)

pay the Flip-in Cash Consideration in immediately available funds to a bank account identified by Exxaro; or

(b)

if Tronox has exercised its right to issue the Flip-in Shares under clause 8.1.3, cause Tronox Issuer to allot and issue the Flip-in Shares to Exxaro (or its nominee),

in each case, in consideration for all of the South African Shares referred to in clause 8.9.1 above.

Substitute Transferor

8.10	Tronox may, by giving notice in writing to Exxaro, require that some or all of the South African Shares which are to be transferred to Tronox pursuant to this clause 8 be transferred to Tronox Sands Holdings Pty Limited instead of Tronox.

Conflicts

8.11	If there is any conflict between the terms of this clause 8 and either the 2012 Exxaro Shareholders’ Deed or the South African SHA, the terms of this clause 8 shall prevail.

9.	DISPOSAL OF SHAREHOLDING IN TRONOX HOLDINGS BY EXXARO

Tax Equalisation Covenants

9.1	Tronox LLC covenants to pay Exxaro an amount equal to any CGT Liability assessed on Exxaro in respect of any disposal(s) of its Tronox Holdings Shares and which would not have been assessed on Exxaro but for the Tronox B Scheme (the “CGT Covenant”).

9.2

If Exxaro obtains a Tax Relief in relation to the disposal(s) of its Tronox Holdings Shares which would not have been obtained but for the Tronox B Scheme, Exxaro covenants to pay to Tronox LLC an amount equal to (a) the amount of South African Tax (on the basis of Tax rates current at the date of such Tax Relief arising) that would have been saved had such Tax Relief been utilised, assuming for this purpose that Exxaro had sufficient profits or was otherwise in a position to use the Tax Relief, or (b) where the Tax Relief is a right to a Tax repayment, the amount of such repayment (a “Tax Benefit” and the “Tax Benefit Covenant”).

Payment

9.3

Subject to clause 9.4, any amount(s) payable by Tronox LLC under the CGT Covenant and Exxaro under the Tax Benefit Covenant (as applicable) shall be paid from time to time not later than 5 Business Days before (a) if a CGT Liability (for which Tronox LLC has a liability to Exxaro under the CGT Covenant) is payable in respect of a Tax period, the date on which such CGT Liability is payable to the Taxation Authority without any interest and/or penalties being incurred or (b) if no CGT Liability (for which Tronox LLC has a liability to Exxaro under the CGT Covenant) is payable in respect of a Tax period, the date that a payment of such liability would have been due had such liability arisen in respect of that Tax period (such date being a

“CGT Covenant Payment Date”). If the Taxation Authority claims an additional CGT Liability against Exxaro for the amount of which Tronox LLC has a liability to Exxaro under the CGT Covenant and that is being contested pursuant to clause 9.8, Tronox LLC shall (to the extent not already paid) pay any amounts due under the CGT Covenant in respect of such additional CGT Liability not later than 5 Business Days before Exxaro has to pay such amount pursuant to the Taxation Authority invoking the so-called pay now argue later rule in terms of which a taxpayer must make payment of an amount assessed irrespective of whether or not objection is lodged against the assessment (with such payment date also being a “CGT Covenant Payment Date”).

9.4	If on a CGT Covenant Payment Date:

9.4.1

the amount then payable under the CGT Covenant exceeds the amount then payable under the Tax Benefit Covenant, the amount then payable pursuant to the CGT Covenant shall be reduced by the amount then payable under the Tax Benefit Covenant (to the extent it has not already reduced a payment pursuant to the CGT Covenant); or

9.4.2

the amount then payable under the Tax Benefit Covenant exceeds the amount then payable under the CGT Covenant, Exxaro shall pay to Tronox LLC, in cleared funds to such account at such bank as Tronox LLC may notify Exxaro from time to time, an amount equal to such excess on such CGT Covenant Payment Date.

9.5

Each of Tronox LLC and Exxaro shall pay all amounts under clause 9.3 to the other Party on a grossed-up basis, so as to place the other Party in the same net after Tax position (after taking into account any Tax Relief which is or will be obtained by the other Party in relation to the payment under the CGT Covenant or the Tax Benefit Covenant (as applicable) or the subject matter thereof (to the extent such Tax Relief is not a Tax Benefit)) it would have been in had the other Party not been subject to Tax in respect of the relevant payment.

9.6

If the Taxation Authority assesses on Exxaro an amount payable in respect of any penalty, fine, surcharge or interest, in each case, in respect of any CGT Liability for which Tronox LLC has a liability to Exxaro under clause 9.1, then such amount shall be treated as an amount payable under the CGT Covenant, except to the extent that such amount was assessed because of a late or under payment, late or omitted filing, incorrect or incomplete or misstated information, in each case, made, omitted or provided by Exxaro to the Taxation Authority.

9.7

All amounts payable by Tronox LLC to Exxaro pursuant to this clause 9 shall be paid in ZAR made in cleared funds in accordance with clause 18.3. All amounts payable by Exxaro to Tronox LLC pursuant to this clause 9 shall be paid in US Dollars (calculated at the daily spot rate for ZAR/US Dollars published by the SARB on the date on which the relevant payment is due) and in accordance with clause 9.4.2.

Mitigation and defence

9.8

Exxaro shall notify Tronox LLC as soon as reasonably practicable if it (i) considers that any CGT Liability may arise or (ii) receives any notification from the Taxation Authority indicating an intention to assess Exxaro on the basis that would result in a CGT Liability being triggered, in each case, such notice to include reasonably sufficient details of the potential CGT Liability. Exxaro shall consult with Tronox LLC with a view to mitigating any CGT Liability or determining whether any notification from the Taxation Authority should be resisted and whether any objection and/or appeal should be lodged against any potential assessment or assessment; provided that the final decision lies with Exxaro and Exxaro is not required to take any position that would be commercially unreasonable or that would otherwise prejudice its Tax affairs. In this regard, Exxaro shall take the following actions in respect of any CGT Liability:

9.8.1

act reasonably and in good faith to decide whether any CGT Liability should be resisted, objected to and/or appealed against;

9.8.2

take any reasonable action to resist, object and/or appeal any potential assessment or assessment;

9.8.3

keep Tronox LLC regularly informed of any developments and take into account any reasonable comments of Tronox LLC;

9.8.4

provide any draft South African tax return (which may be commercially reasonably redacted) relevant to the CGT Liability to Tronox LLC at least 20 Business Days prior to any applicable filing deadline and consider any reasonable comments of Tronox LLC;

9.8.5

make use of senior counsel in South Africa to assist it in the approach to be adopted; and

9.8.6

not make any settlement or agreement with the Taxation Authority without first consulting with Tronox LLC.

9.9

All reasonable external costs properly incurred by Exxaro to comply with its obligations under clause 9.8 above and which otherwise would not have been incurred shall be for the account of Tronox LLC, and Tronox LLC shall reimburse Exxaro of such costs promptly on Tronox receiving reasonable evidence that such costs have been incurred and paid by Exxaro.

9.10	Provided that the final decision lies with Exxaro and Exxaro is not required to take any position that would be commercially unreasonable or that would otherwise prejudice its Tax affairs, Exxaro shall:

9.10.1

notify Tronox LLC as soon as reasonably practicable of any Tax Relief that may give rise to a Tax Benefit;

9.10.2

not take any action which prejudices or may prejudice the amount or availability of any Tax Benefit; and

9.10.3

act reasonably and in good faith to obtain a Tax Benefit.

9.11	Exxaro shall notify Tronox LLC as soon as reasonably practicable if an amount is paid by Tronox LLC under this clause 9 and:

9.11.1

the amount is no longer payable by Exxaro to the Taxation Authority;

9.11.2

the amount is paid by Exxaro to the Taxation Authority but Exxaro obtains or may obtain a right to a refund in respect of such amount; or

9.11.3

Exxaro has obtained a Tax Relief in respect of the amount paid,

and shall take all reasonable steps to obtain the refund or Tax Relief (as applicable) referred to in clauses 9.11.2 and 9.11.3 above.

9.12	To the extent that any amount is paid by Tronox LLC under this clause 9 and:

9.12.1

the amount is not subsequently paid by Exxaro and is not due by Exxaro to the Taxation Authority;

9.12.2

the amount is paid by Exxaro to the Taxation Authority but is thereafter actually refunded by the Taxation Authority; or

9.12.3

Exxaro actually obtains and utilises a Tax Relief in respect of the amount paid,

Exxaro shall promptly pay a refund to Tronox LLC, together with whatever interest it may actually have received, in an amount equal to (as applicable) (a) the amount paid by Tronox LLC, (b) the amount actually refunded by the Taxation Authority or (c) the amount of the Tax Relief actually obtained by Exxaro. Such payment shall be made in cleared funds to such account at such bank as Tronox LLC may notify Exxaro from time to time.

9.13

To the extent that any amount is paid by Exxaro under this clause 9 in relation to a Tax Benefit and the Taxation Authority subsequently successfully challenges the availability or the amount of that Tax Benefit, Tronox LLC shall promptly pay a refund to Exxaro in an amount equal to the amount paid by Exxaro to Tronox LLC in respect of (i) that Tax Benefit or (ii) such proportion of that Tax Benefit that becomes unavailable (as applicable).

9.14

The Tronox Parties agree that they will not take any action, or suffer any action to exist, that could cause Tronox LLC to enter into any restructuring which may have the result that it does not have any assets or that it may be liquidated until all of its obligations under this clause 9 are satisfied in full or transferred to another obligor acceptable to Exxaro (such consent by Exxaro not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

9.15	This clause 9 survives the termination and/or cancellation of this Agreement.

10.

SOUTH AFRICAN RESTRUCTURING

10.1

Until such time as Exxaro ceases to hold any shares in the South African Subsidiaries, Exxaro and Tronox shall (and shall procure that the members of their Group (respectively) shall) act in good faith and co-operate to undertake a restructuring of the South African Subsidiaries to segregate the Mining and Prospecting Rights and the Mineral Processing Operations which are held and operated by the South African Subsidiaries, including:

10.1.1

working co-operatively to minimise any Tax liabilities from the proposed restructuring; and

10.1.2

if requested by Tronox, Exxaro will assist Tronox to transfer the prospecting right or any subsequent mining right application for Port Durnford into a newly incorporated South African subsidiary.

10.2	The Parties shall not take any action in respect of this clause 10 that could potentially cause any delays or complications to the Flip-in Sale.

10.3

If the Taxation Authority assesses a Tax on Exxaro directly as a result of an action taken or specifically requested by Tronox and, in each case, in furtherance of the restructuring envisaged by clause 10.1 (a “Restructuring Tax”), Tronox LLC covenants to pay Exxaro an amount equal to such Tax (the “Restructuring Tax Covenant”). For purposes of this clause 10.3, the provisions of clauses 9.3 to 9.15 inclusive (other than clauses 9.4 and 9.13) are incorporated herein mutatis mutandis, substituting “Restructuring Tax” for “CGT Liability” and “Restructuring Tax Covenant” for “CGT Covenant” and omitting all references to “Tax Benefit” and “Tax Benefit Covenant”, together with their related operative provisions.

11.

TRONOX B SCHEME

Warranties and undertakings

11.1	Exxaro irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes, agrees, represents and warrants to and with Tronox that:

11.1.1

it is the beneficial owner of (or is otherwise able to control the exercise of all rights, including voting rights, attaching to) the Tronox B Shares;

11.1.2

it is able to procure the transfer of the Tronox B Shares free from all liens, equities, charges, encumbrances, options, rights of pre-emption, and any other third-party rights and interests of any nature;

11.1.3

11.1.4

Exxaro’s participation in the Tronox B Scheme (including the receipt of shares in Tronox Holdings by or on behalf of Exxaro) will not contravene any securities laws in the Republic of South Africa;

11.1.5

the base cost for South African capital gains tax purposes of any share it acquires in Tronox Holdings (i) on the implementation of the Tronox B Scheme or (ii) as a result of the operation of clause 8, will be the market value of such share as at the date of its acquisition by Exxaro;

11.1.6

until the Tronox Schemes become Effective, Exxaro will not:

(a)

sell, transfer, charge, encumber, pledge or grant any option over or otherwise dispose of any of the Tronox B Shares or any interest in any of the Tronox B Shares, except:

(i)

to Tronox Holdings under the terms of the Tronox B Scheme; or

(ii)

otherwise in accordance with and as permitted by clause 7 and Schedule 3;

(b)

accept or give any undertaking in respect of any other offer or similar transaction in respect of any of the Tronox B Shares which might frustrate the Tronox B Scheme;

(c)

acquire any further interest in any shares in Tronox (save in accordance with clause 8); or

enter into any agreement or arrangement with any person, whether conditionally or unconditionally, or solicit or encourage any person, to do any of the acts referred to in this clause 11.1.6, save to transfer any Tronox B Shares to Tronox in accordance with clause 7 and Schedule 3.

Tronox B Scheme Meeting

11.2	Exxaro irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to Tronox that:

11.2.1

it shall (unless Tronox otherwise requests in writing) exercise or, where applicable, procure the exercise of, all rights attaching to the Tronox B Shares on any resolution (whether or not amended and whether put to a show of hands or a poll) which is proposed at any general or class meeting of Tronox (including any adjournment thereof) or at any meeting of holders of shares in Tronox convened by a court in relation to the Tronox B Scheme pursuant to section 411(1) of the Corporations Act (including any adjournment thereof) (the “Tronox B Scheme Meeting”) which:

(a)

is necessary to implement the Tronox B Scheme;

(b)

might reasonably be expected to have any impact on the fulfilment of any condition to the Tronox B Scheme;

(c)

might reasonably be expected to impede or frustrate the Tronox B Scheme in any way; or

(d)

might otherwise reasonably be expected to impact on the success of the Tronox B Scheme,

only in accordance with Tronox’s instructions;

11.2.2

it shall exercise or, where applicable, procure the exercise of, all rights attaching to the Tronox B Shares to requisition or join in the requisitioning of any general meeting of Tronox for the purposes of voting on any resolution referred to under clause 11.2.1, or to require Tronox to give notice of any such meeting, only in accordance with Tronox’s instructions; and

11.2.3

as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within seven Business Days of the date on which the formal document containing details of the Tronox Schemes (the “Scheme Booklet”) is mailed to Tronox’s shareholders, Exxaro shall return, or procure the return of, if applicable, the signed forms of proxy enclosed with the Scheme Booklet (completed and signed and voting in favour of the resolutions to implement the Tronox B Scheme) in accordance with the instructions printed on those forms of proxy and, if applicable, in respect of the Tronox B Shares held in dematerialised form, take or procure the taking of any other action which may be required by or on behalf of Tronox or its nominated representative in order to make a valid proxy appointment and give valid proxy instructions (voting in favour of approving the Tronox B Scheme).

Lapse of undertaking

11.3

All obligations in clause 11 will lapse and cease to have any effect immediately if the Tronox Schemes have not become Effective by 5.00 p.m. on 31 May 2019 (or any later time and date agreed between Exxaro and Tronox) provided that the lapsing of this undertaking will not affect any accrued rights or liabilities in respect of non-performance of any obligation under this undertaking falling due for performance before such lapse.

General

11.4	Exxaro acknowledges that, if it breaches any of its obligations in this undertaking under clause 11, damages alone would not be an adequate remedy and that an order for specific performance would be an essential element of any adequate remedy for that breach.

11.5	Tronox Holdings undertakes to establish and maintain, at its sole cost and expense, a depositary receipt facility (the “DR Facility”) under an agreement reasonably acceptable to Exxaro (on the basis of commonly accepted market precedent), pursuant to which:

11.5.1

depositary receipts will be issued for Exxaro’s Tronox Holdings Shares that may be transferred free from any UK stamp duty or UK stamp duty reserve tax (“Stamp Taxes”); and

11.5.2

the conditions of applicable UK Tax law will be met, allowing for a full exemption from Stamp Taxes on any transfer of Exxaro’s Tronox Holdings Shares by the nominee under the DR Facility to the nominee of DTC.

26.3.1

if delivered by hand (including by courier) to the relevant Party’s address referred to in clause 26.2 (Address, email), at the time of delivery;

26.3.2

if sent as an email to the relevant Party’s email address referred to in that clause, at the time the email is sent provided that, within 48 hours of sending the email, a hard copy of the email and attachment signed by or on behalf of delivered by hand, to the recipient at the address referred to in that clause.

Replacement agent

27.6

If the agent referred to in clauses 27.3 (Appointment of agent for service) (or any replacement agent appointed pursuant to this clause) at any time ceases for any reason (including its dissolution) to act as a Party’s agent for service, that Party shall promptly and irrevocably appoint another person with an address in England and Wales to be that Party’s agent for service on the terms of this clause and promptly notify the other Parties (in writing) of the replacement’s name and address.
