Section 3.3 Voting .

(a) During the term of this Agreement, at any meeting of the Company’s shareholders, however called, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof, or in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or other approval is sought or obtained by or from the shareholders of the Company, the Shareholder shall (a) cause all of the Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Shareholder to be represented at such meeting for purposes of the presence of a quorum and (b) shall vote or cause to be voted, in person or by proxy, all of such Voting Securities as of the applicable record date until the Shareholder no longer has any nomination rights pursuant to Section 3.4, with respect to any proposal or resolution relating to (i) the election or removal of Directors, (ii) compensation of directors, officers or other employees of the Company (including say-on-pay matters and option grants) and (iii) the engagement of accountants, in each case, as recommended by the Board.

(b) The Shareholder agrees that all of the Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Shareholder will be voted as necessary to ensure that at each general meeting at which an election of Directors is held, the number of “Exxaro Directors” (as such term is defined in the separate shareholders’ agreement dated as of [●] 2019 between the Company and Exxaro (the “Exxaro Shareholder Agreement”)) set forth in Section 9(c) of the Exxaro Shareholder Agreement and nominated by Exxaro, become Directors of the Company. The Shareholder also agrees that all of the Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Shareholder will be voted as necessary to ensure that (i) no Director elected pursuant to Section 9(b)(ii) of the Exxaro Shareholder Agreement may be removed from office except as provided in the Exxaro Shareholder Agreement; and (ii) any vacancies created by the resignation, removal or death of a Director elected pursuant to Section 9(b)(ii) of the Exxaro Shareholder Agreement shall be filled pursuant to the provisions of Section 9(b)(ii) of the Exxaro Shareholder Agreement.

Section 3.4 Board of Directors; Committees .

(a) The Shareholder shall have nomination rights to the Board as follows:

(i) For so long as the Shareholder Beneficially Owns (A) 24,900,000 or more Voting Securities (which number shall be adjusted to reflect any consolidation, sub-division, conversion or similar event affecting the Voting Securities), the Shareholder shall have the right to designate for nomination two (2) members of the Board to be elected by the class vote of the holders of the Ordinary Shares and (B) 12,450,000 or more, but less than 24,900,000, Voting Securities (which numbers shall be adjusted to reflect any consolidation, sub-division, conversion or similar event affecting the Voting Securities), the Shareholder shall have the right to designate for nomination one (1) member of the Board to be elected by the class vote of the holders of the Ordinary Shares.

(ii) At least forty (40) Business Days prior to an annual general meeting or any special meeting of shareholders of the Company at which the Directors are to be elected to the Board, the Company shall notify the Shareholder of the date of such proposed meeting. Within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such notification, the Shareholder shall designate for nomination Shareholder Nominee(s) in accordance with Section 3.4(a)(i). Within five (5) Business Days of receiving such designation, the Company shall notify the Shareholder in writing if the Nominating Committee either (A) intends to recommend to the Company’s shareholders the election of such Shareholder Nominees, or (B) does not intend to recommend to the Company’s shareholders the election of such Shareholder Nominees (provided, however, that the Company shall procure that the Nominating Committee shall only fail to recommend to the Company’s shareholders the election of a Shareholder Nominee if (1) such Shareholder Nominee fails to meet any director qualification requirements expressly set forth in the Articles of Association, or (2) such recommendation would otherwise breach the fiduciary duties of the members of the Nominating Committee). If the Nominating Committee does not intend to recommend to the Company’s shareholders the election of any such Shareholder Nominee, the Company shall procure that the Nominating Committee promptly notifies the Shareholder of such intention and provides reasonable justification as to why such Shareholder Nominee will not be recommended to the Company’s shareholders. The Shareholder shall, within five (5) Business Days of being informed of such intention, have the right to designate for nomination alternative Shareholder Nominee(s) (and the Shareholder can provide a list of alternative Shareholder Nominees which are to be considered by the Nominating Committee for recommendation to the Company’s shareholders in descending order of preference) and the Company shall procure that the Nominating Committee considers such alternative Shareholder Nominees. Again, the Company shall procure that the Nominating Committee shall only fail to recommend to the Company’s shareholders the election of an alternative Shareholder Nominee if (1) such alternative Shareholder Nominee fails to meet any director qualification requirements expressly set forth in the Articles of Association, or (2) such recommendation would otherwise breach the fiduciary duties of the members of the Nominating Committee.

(iii) Without limiting the specificity of Section 3.4(a)(ii), the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Board to take all action necessary (including, subject to the Board’s fiduciary duties, recommending the election of Shareholder Nominees to the Company’s shareholders) such that, of the number of Directors nominated for election at each annual general meeting or any special meeting of shareholders of the Company at which the Directors are to be elected to the Board, the Shareholder Nominees designated for nomination in accordance with Section 3.4(a)(i) shall be elected as Directors, subject, in each case, to applicable Law.

(iv) Upon prior reasonable written notice by the Company to the Shareholder, the Shareholder shall supply to the Company by the time such information is reasonably requested by the Board, the following information insofar as it relates to a Shareholder Nominee: (A) all such information and materials as the Company reasonably requests from other members of the Board as is required to be disclosed in proxy circulars under applicable Law or as is otherwise reasonably requested by the Company from time- to-time from members of the Board in connection with the Company’s legal, regulatory, auditor or stock exchange requirements (including, if applicable, any Directors’ questionnaire or similar document); and (B) an executed consent to serve as a Director if so elected from each of the Shareholder Nominees to be named as a nominee in any proxy circular or similar materials for any annual meeting or special meeting of shareholders of the Company (collectively, the “Nomination Documents”).

(v) If any Shareholder Director resigns from the Board or is rendered unable to, or refuses to, or for any other reason ceases, to serve on the Board, the Shareholder shall be entitled to designate a replacement (a “Replacement”), and, subject to Section 3.4(b), the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to promptly appoint such Replacement as a replacement Shareholder Director to fill the resulting vacancy. If, despite using its reasonable best efforts to promptly appoint such Replacement, the Company is unable to promptly appoint such Replacement, the Shareholder shall be entitled to designate an alternative Replacement and the provisions of this Section 3.4(a)(v) shall apply mutatis mutandis to such alternative Replacement. Any such Replacement elected to the Board shall be deemed to be a Shareholder Director for all purposes under this Agreement, and prior to his or her appointment to the Board, shall be required to provide to the Company the Nomination Documents as set forth in Section 3.4(a)(iv).

(b) Upon the first date that the Shareholder Beneficially Owns (i) less than 24,900,000 Voting Securities (which number shall be adjusted to reflect any consolidation, sub-division, conversion or similar event affecting the Voting Securities), the Shareholder shall promptly cause one (1) Shareholder Director designated by the Shareholder to tender his or her immediate resignation from the Board, and (ii) less than 12,450,000 Voting Securities (which number shall be adjusted to reflect any consolidation, sub-division, conversion or similar event affecting the Voting Securities), the Shareholder shall promptly following such time (the “Cut-off Time”) cause any Shareholder Director designated by the Shareholder to tender his or her immediate resignation from the Board. Subject to Section 3.4(a)(i), the resignation of a Shareholder Director does not prevent such person from being eligible for election or appointment as a Director in the future.

(c) For so long as such membership is permitted by all applicable Law and stock exchange listing requirements (as determined in good faith by the Board), the Board will cause the number of Shareholder Directors, if any, to serve as members of the various standing committees of the Board (other than the Nominating Committee but including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Corporate Governance Committee) proportional to their representation on the Board, rounded down to the larger of the nearest whole number and one.

(d) At all times from the date of this Agreement through the termination of their service as a member of the Board, each of the Shareholder Directors shall comply with the qualification requirements applicable to all directors expressly set forth under the Articles of Association, and all policies, procedures, processes, codes, rules, standards and guidelines applicable to all Board members, including the Company’s code of business conduct and ethics, securities trading policies, Directors’ confidentiality policy, and corporate governance guidelines, and preserve the confidentiality of Company business and information, including discussions of matters considered in meetings of the Board or Board committees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, each Shareholder Director is authorized to disclose confidential information on a strictly confidential basis to any director, officer or employee of the Shareholder that appointed him or any director, officer or management-level employee of such Shareholder's Affiliates to the extent necessary for the purposes of monitoring and evaluating such Shareholder's participation with the Company.

Section 5.1 Demand Registrations .

(a) Requests for Registration. At any time following the expiration of the Transfer Prohibition Period, the Shareholder may request in writing that the Company effect the registration under the Securities Act of all or any part of the Registrable Securities Beneficially Owned by the Shareholder (a “Registration Request”). Promptly after its receipt of any Registration Request, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, all Registrable Securities (as defined below) that have been requested to be registered in the Registration Request. Any registration requested by the Shareholder pursuant to Section 5.1(a) or 5.1(c) is referred to in this Agreement as a “Demand Registration.” As used herein, the term “Registrable Securities” shall mean (i) Ordinary Shares; (ii) any other shares or securities that the Shareholder may be entitled to receive, or will have received, pursuant to the Shareholder’s ownership of the Ordinary Shares, in lieu of or in addition to the Ordinary Shares; and (iii) any shares or securities issued or issuable directly or indirectly with respect to the shares referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) by way of conversion or exchange thereof or share distribution or share split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, amalgamation, arrangement, consolidation or other reorganization, in each case Beneficially Owned by the Shareholder. As to any particular securities constituting Registrable Securities, such securities will cease to be Registrable Securities when (A) they have been effectively registered for sale under the Securities Act pursuant to a Registration Statement (as defined below) and disposed of in accordance with the Registration Statement; (B) they have been sold to the public pursuant to Rule 144 or other exemption from registration under the Securities Act; (C) they have been bought back and cancelled by the Company; or (D) when all remaining Registrable Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without limitation.

(b) Limitation on Demand Registrations. At any time following the expiration of the Transfer Prohibition Period, the Shareholder will be entitled to initiate no more than three (3) Demand Registrations (including Short-Form Registrations permitted pursuant to Section 5.1(c)). No request for registration will count for the purposes of the limitations in this Section 5.1(b) if (i) the Shareholder determines in good faith to withdraw the proposed registration prior to the effectiveness of the prospectus and other documents filed with the SEC to effect a registration under the Securities Act (“Registration Statement”) relating to such request due to marketing conditions (but only if the Shareholder reimburses the Company for all fees with respect thereto) or regulatory reasons relating to the Company, (ii) the Registration Statement relating to such request is not declared effective within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date such Registration Statement is first filed with the SEC (other than solely by reason of matters relating to the Shareholder) and the Shareholder withdraws its Registration Request prior to such Registration Statement being declared effective, (iii) prior to the sale of at least 90% of the Registrable Securities included in the applicable registration relating to such request, such registration is adversely affected by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other Governmental Entity for any reason and the Company fails to have such stop order, injunction or other order of requirement removed, withdrawn or resolved to the Shareholder’s reasonable satisfaction within thirty (30) days of the date of such order or injunction, (iv) more than 10% of the Registrable Securities requested by the Shareholder to be included in the registration are not so included pursuant to Section 5.1(d), (v) the conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement or purchase agreement entered into in connection with the registration relating to such request are not satisfied (other than as a result of a material default or breach thereunder by the Shareholder), or (vi) more than 10% of the Registrable Securities requested by the Shareholder to be included in the registration cannot be sold due to the restrictions on Transfer contained in Article IV.

(c) Short-Form Registrations. Following the expiration of the Transfer Prohibition Period, the Company will, if requested by the Shareholder and the use of such form is then available to the Company, use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement with the SEC on Form S-3 (including any successor form thereto, “Short Form Registration”) providing for the registration of, and the sale on a continuous or delayed basis of the Registrable Securities, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. In no event shall the Company be obligated to effect any shelf registration other than pursuant to a Short-Form Registration.

(d) Restrictions on Demand Registrations. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement, including a Short Form Registration, with respect to a Demand Registration would (i) require the Company to make a public disclosure of material non-public information, which disclosure in the good faith judgment of the Company (A) would be required to be made in any Registration Statement so that such Registration Statement would not be materially misleading, (B) would not be required to be made at such time but for the filing, effectiveness or continued use of such Registration Statement and (C) would in the good faith judgment of the Company reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the Company or its business if made at such time, or (ii) would in the good faith judgment of the Board reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the Company or its business or on the Company’s ability to effect a planned or proposed acquisition, disposition, financing, reorganization, recapitalization or similar transaction, then the Company may upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the participants in such registration (each of whom hereby agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all information disclosed to such participants) delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement, provided, however, that the Company shall not be permitted to do so (x) more than two (2) times during any twelve (12)-month period or (y) for periods exceeding, in the aggregate, one hundred (100) days during any twelve (12)-month period. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Shareholder agrees to suspend, promptly upon its receipt of the notice referred to above, its use of any prospectus relating to such registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. If the Company so postpones the filing of a prospectus or the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, the Shareholder will be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn, such registration request will not count for the purposes of the limitation set forth in Section 5.1(b) and the Company shall, for the avoidance of doubt, pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such registration.

(e) Selection of Underwriters. If the Shareholder intends that the Registrable Securities covered by its Registration Request shall be distributed by means of an underwritten offering, the Shareholder will so advise the Company as a part of the Registration Request. In such event, the lead underwriter to administer the offering will be an Approved Bank chosen by the Shareholder.

(f) Priority on Demand Registrations. If a Demand Registration involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company that in its reasonable opinion the number of Registrable Securities (and any other securities requested to be included in such offering) exceeds the number of securities that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), the Company will include in such offering only such number of securities that in the reasonable opinion of such underwriter can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, Registrable Securities of the Shareholder and (ii) second, any other securities of the Company that have been requested to be so included.

Section 5.2 Piggyback Registrations .

(a) Right to Piggyback. At any time following the Transfer Prohibition Period, and subject to the restrictions and limitations on transfers contained in Article IV, whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities (other than a registration statement to be filed on Form S-8 or Form S-4 or any similar form from time to time or registration of shares, securities and/or options or other rights in respect thereof to be offered to directors, members of management, employees, consultants, lenders or vendors of the Company or in connection with dividend reinvestment plans, each a “Special Registration”) and other than a registration pursuant to Section 5.1, and the registration form to be filed may be used for the registration or qualification for distribution of Registrable Securities, the Company will give prompt written notice (and in any event no later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the filing of a Registration Statement with respect to such registration) to the Shareholder of its intention to effect such a registration and, subject to Section 5.2(c), will include in such registration all Registrable Securities of the Shareholder with respect to which the Company has received a written request from the Shareholder for inclusion therein within five (5) Business Days after the date of the Company’s notice (a “Piggyback Registration”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may terminate or withdraw any registration under this Section 5.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration, whether or not the Shareholder has elected to include its Registrable Securities in such registration, and the Company will have no liability to the Shareholder in connection with such termination or withdrawal. For the avoidance of doubt, a Piggyback Registration shall not be considered a Demand Registration for the purposes of the limitations set forth in Section 5.1(b).

(b) Underwritten Registration. If the registration referred to in Section 5.2(a) is proposed to be underwritten, the Company will so advise the Shareholder as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 5.2(a). In such event, the right of the Shareholder to registration pursuant to this Section 5.2 will be conditioned upon the Shareholder’s (together with the Company’s) entry into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting. If the registration referred to in Section 5.2(a) is proposed to be underwritten and is initiated as a primary offering on behalf of the Company, the Company shall select the investment banking firm or firms to act as the managing underwriter or underwriters in connection with such offering.

(c) Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration relates to an underwritten offering, and the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their reasonable opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of such offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), the Company will include in such offering only such number of securities that in the reasonable opinion of such underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, and (ii) second, other securities of the Company that have been requested to be so included pro rata on the basis of the number of securities requested to be registered by the Shareholder or any other holder of securities.

Section 5.3 Registration Procedures . Subject to Section 5.1(d), whenever the Shareholder requests that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to Sections 5.1 or 5.2 of this Agreement, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration and sale of such Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

(c) furnish to the Shareholder such number of copies, without charge, of such Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, including each preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, any other prospectus (which for purposes of this Agreement shall also include any prospectus filed under Rule 424, Rule 430A or Rule 430B under the Securities Act and any “issuer free writing prospectus” as such term is defined under Rule 433 promulgated under the Securities Act), all exhibits and other documents filed therewith and such other documents as the Shareholder may reasonably request including in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Shareholder;

(d) register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Shareholder reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by the Shareholder (provided, however, that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subsection, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction);

(e) notify the Shareholder, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the discovery of the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, and, as soon as reasonably practicable, prepare and furnish to the Shareholder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made;

(f) notify the Shareholder (i) when such Registration Statement or the prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed and, with respect to such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or to amend or to supplement such prospectus or for additional information, and (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for any of such purposes;

(g) cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

(h) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;

(i) enter into such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements and lock-up agreements in customary form, and including provisions with respect to indemnification and contribution in customary form) and take all such other customary actions as the Shareholder or the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities (including making members of senior management of the Company available to participate in “road show” and other customary marketing activities to the extent not unreasonably interfering with the business of the Company);

(j) make available for inspection by the Shareholder and counsel to the Shareholder, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Shareholder or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and documents relating to the business of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by the Shareholder, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such Registration Statement; provided, however, that it shall be a condition to such inspection and receipt of such information that the inspecting person (i) enter into a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and (ii) agree to minimize the disruption to the Company’s business in connection with the foregoing;

(k) in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or ceasing trading of any securities included in such Registration Statement for sale in any jurisdiction, use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain the withdrawal of such order;

(l) obtain one or more comfort letters, addressed to the underwriters, if any, dated the effective date of such Registration Statement and the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement for such offering, signed by the Company’s independent public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by comfort letters as such underwriters shall reasonably request; and

(m) provide customary legal opinions of the Company’s counsel, addressed to the underwriters, if any, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement, with respect to the Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (including the preliminary prospectus) and such other documents relating thereto as the underwriter shall reasonably request in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by legal opinions of such nature.

Section 5.4 Furnishing of Information . As a condition to registering Registrable Securities of the Shareholder, the Company may require the Shareholder to furnish the Company with such information regarding the Shareholder and pertinent to the disclosure requirements relating to the registration and the distribution of such securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing.

Section 5.5 Registration Expenses . Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all expenses incidental to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws and printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and all independent certified public accountants of the Company and other persons retained by the Company (collectively, “Registration Expenses”), will be borne by the Company. All underwriting discounts, selling commissions and transfer taxes applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities of the Shareholder or its Affiliates hereunder and any other expenses required by Law to be paid by the Shareholder will be borne by the Shareholder.

Section 5.6 Holdback . In consideration for the Company agreeing to its obligations under this Agreement, the Shareholder agrees in connection with any registration of Voting Securities (whether or not the Shareholder is participating in such registration) upon the request of the Company and the underwriters managing any underwritten offering of Voting Securities, not to effect (other than pursuant to such registration) any public sale or distribution or other Transfer of Registrable Securities, including, but not limited to, any sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A, without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, during the Holdback Period (as defined below). For purposes of this Agreement, “Holdback Period” means, with respect to any registered offering covered by this Agreement, (i) one hundred eighty (180) days, subject to customary “booster shot” provisions, after and during the ten (10) days before, the effective date of the related Registration Statement or, in the case of a takedown from a shelf registration statement, ninety (90) days after the date of the prospectus supplement filed with the SEC in connection with such takedown and during such prior period (not to exceed ten days) as the Company has given reasonable written notice to the Shareholder or (ii) such shorter period as the Company, the Shareholder and the underwriter of such offering, if any, shall agree.

Section 5.7 Registration in Foreign Jurisdictions . If the Company does not list its Voting Securities in the United States and instead lists its Voting Securities in a jurisdiction other than the United States, then the Company and the Shareholder shall negotiate in good faith to enter into such amendments to this Agreement as are necessary to ensure that the Shareholder retains registration rights substantially similar to those granted under this Agreement, as and to the extent permissible under the Laws of such other jurisdiction.

Section 5.8 Rule 144 Reporting . With a view to making available to the Shareholder the benefits of certain SEC rules and regulations that may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration after such time as a public market exists for the Registrable Securities, the Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take the following actions:

(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after the date that the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;

(b) file with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

(c) furnish to the Shareholder forthwith upon request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements) and such other reports and documents as the Shareholder may reasonably request in connection with availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any Registrable Securities without registration.

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION & CONTRIBUTION

Section 6.1 Indemnification; Contribution .

(a) The Company shall, and it hereby agrees to, indemnify and hold harmless each Shareholder and its controlled Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, members, employees, managers, partners, accountants, attorneys and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) such Persons, in any offering or sale of the Registrable Securities, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, actions or proceedings (whether commenced or threatened) in respect thereof and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) (collectively, “Claims”) to which each such indemnified Person may become subject, insofar as such Claims (including any amounts paid in settlement effected with the consent of the Company as provided herein), or actions or proceedings in respect thereof, arise out of or are based upon (i) an untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in any registration statement used to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (ii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in any prospectus or preliminary prospectus used to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and the Company shall, and it hereby agrees to, reimburse periodically (but, in any event, within one month of such expenses being incurred) the indemnified Persons for any legal or other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claims; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any such Person in any such case only to the extent that any such Claims arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, or preliminary or final prospectus, or amendment or supplement thereto, made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Shareholder or its Affiliates expressly for use therein. The Shareholder shall, and hereby agrees, to (A) indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, employees and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) such Persons, if any, in any offering or sale of Registrable Securities, against any Claims to which each such indemnified Person may become subject, insofar as such Claims (including any amounts paid in settlement as provided herein), or actions or proceedings in respect thereof, arise out of or are based upon (1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in any registration statement used to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (2) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in any prospectus or preliminary prospectus used to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Shareholder expressly for use therein, and (B) reimburse the Company for any documented legal or other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shareholder shall not be liable under this Section 6.1(a) for amounts in excess of the proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) received by such Shareholder in the offering giving rise to such liability.

(b) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified Person under Section 6.1(a) of written notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding for which indemnification under Section 6.1(a) may be requested, such indemnified Person shall notify such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such action or proceeding; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified Person in respect of such action or proceeding hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying party was materially prejudiced by such failure of the indemnified Person to give such notice, and in no event shall such omission relieve the indemnifying party from any other liability it may have to such indemnified Person. In case any such action or proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified Person, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall determine, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified Person, and, after written notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified Person of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified Person for any legal or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs of investigation; provided, however, that (i) if the indemnifying party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently the action or proceeding within twenty (20) days after receiving written notice from such indemnified Person that the indemnified Person believes it has failed to do so; (ii) if such indemnified Person who is a defendant in any action or proceeding which is also brought against the indemnifying party reasonably shall have concluded (upon advice of competent counsel) that there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such indemnified Person which are not available to the indemnifying party; (iii) if representation of both parties by the same counsel is otherwise inappropriate (in the reasonable opinion of the indemnified Person’s counsel) under applicable standards of professional conduct, or (iv) such action or proceeding seeks an injunction or equitable relief against an indemnified Person or involves actual or alleged criminal activity, then, in any such case, the indemnified Person shall have the right to assume or continue its own defense as set forth above (but with no more than one firm of counsel for all indemnified Persons in each jurisdiction) and the indemnifying party shall be liable for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses therefor (including, without limitation, any such reasonable counsel’s fees). If the indemnifying party is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim, it will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for each indemnified Person with respect to such claim. The indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified Person, compromise or consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement agreement with respect to any action or proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought under Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1(b) (whether or not the indemnified Person is an actual or potential party thereto), unless such compromise, consent or settlement includes an unconditional release of the indemnified Person from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation, does not subject the indemnified Person to any obligations, injunctive relief or other equitable remedy and does not include a statement or admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified Person.

(c) The Shareholder and the Company agree that if, for any reason, the indemnification provisions contemplated by Section 6.1(a) hereof are unavailable to or are insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified Person in respect of any Claims referred to herein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified Person as a result of such Claims in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified Person, on the other hand, with respect to statements or omissions that resulted in such Claims. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified Person shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or by such indemnified Person, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. If, however, the allocation in the second preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable Law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified Person in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative faults, but also the relative benefits of the indemnifying party and the indemnified Person, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 6.1(c) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the preceding sentences of this Section 6.1(c). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified Person as a result of the Claims referred to above shall be deemed to include (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.1(b) hereof) any documented and out-of-pocket legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any such action, proceeding or claim. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shareholder shall not be required to make a contribution in excess of the proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) received by such Person from the sale of its Registrable Securities in connection with the offering that gave rise to the contribution obligation.

ARTICLE VII

OTHER RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

Section 7.1 Access to Information.

(a) Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, the Shareholder shall, and shall cause its representatives and the Shareholder Directors to, and shall instruct any Person who holds Ordinary Shares on its behalf to and shall seek reasonable assurances from such Person that they shall, keep confidential all information and documents of the Company and its Affiliates obtained by a Shareholder Director in such Shareholder Director’s capacity as a Director unless such information (1) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 7.1(a) by the Shareholder, including by way of actions taken by its representatives or a Shareholder Director; (2) was within the possession of the Shareholder or a Shareholder Director prior to it being furnished such information by or on behalf of the Company on a non-confidential basis; provided, that the source of such information was not known by the Shareholder, its representatives or a Shareholder Director after due inquiry to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, fiduciary or legal obligation of confidentiality to, the Company with respect to such information; or (3) is or becomes available to the Shareholder or a Shareholder Director on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or any of its representatives; provided, that such source was not known to the Shareholder or a Shareholder Director after due inquiry to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, fiduciary or legal obligation of confidentiality to, the Company with respect to such information. Nothing in this Section 7.1(a) shall prevent the Shareholder Directors, subject to compliance with applicable fiduciary duties, from sharing information with the Shareholder, which information will continue to be covered by the confidentiality provisions of this Section 7.1(a).

(b) The Shareholder may, at its expense on a business day during normal business hours, with reasonable prior notice to the Company’s management, visit and inspect the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ properties, examine its books of account and records, and discuss with members of management such company’s affairs, finances, and accounts. The Company shall provide to the Shareholder copies of the Monthly Accounts within 30 days following the end of each calendar month, and within 45 days following the end of each fiscal half-year and within 45 days following the end of each fiscal year, such other financial information about the Company’s operations as is necessary to permit the Shareholder to prepare the financial disclosures required to satisfy the Shareholder’s disclosure obligations. For purposes of this Section 7.1(b), “Monthly Accounts” means, to the extent prepared in the ordinary course of business, the Company’s unaudited, consolidated financial statements, including the balance sheets and statements of income and cash flows, for the relevant monthly period, prepared in accordance with US GAAP (or in accordance with such other accounting standards as apply to the Company from time to time), separately identifying inter-company and related party transactions but not including footnotes.

(c) The Shareholder hereby acknowledges that as a result of its receipt of information regarding the Company and its Affiliates it may be, or be treated as being, in possession of material non-public information (which for the purposes of this Section 7.1(c) includes information which could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the price or value of a company’s securities) and it is aware of and agrees to comply with (and it will procure that its Affiliates and representatives comply with) securities laws in the United Kingdom and the United States in relation to that material non-public information. In addition, the Shareholder acknowledges that other foreign securities laws may prohibit any person who has received from an issuer material, non-public information from purchasing or selling securities of such issuer or from communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities.

Section 7.2 Pre-emptive Rights .

(a) During the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date on which the Shareholder Beneficially Owns less than 11,743,750 Voting Securities (which number shall be adjusted to reflect any consolidation, sub-division, conversion or similar event affecting the Voting Securities), if the Company issues any additional Voting Securities (an “Additional Issuance"), except for issuances pursuant to (i) any option to acquire Voting Securities, warrant, convertible security or other right to purchase shares of the Company existing at the date of the Transaction Agreement, (ii) any benefit plan or other employee or director plan or arrangement or any awards granted thereunder, (iii) an employee share ownership or purchase plan, or (iv) any share split, share distribution or similar distribution made available to holders of Voting Securities generally (including the Shareholder) (each a “Permitted Issuance”), then during the 30-day period following the date on which the Company has given the Shareholder written notice of the occurrence of the Additional Issuance, the Shareholder, or any Person who holds Ordinary Shares on its behalf where acting upon the written instructions of the Shareholder, shall be entitled to subscribe for (and the Company must, subject to the Companies Act, issue), at the then Current Market Price (as defined below) of Ordinary Shares, up to that number of Ordinary Shares obtained by calculating, on the third Business Day prior to the closing date of such issue, (1) the product of (A) the quotient of (x) the number of Ordinary Shares owned by the Shareholder immediately prior to the Additional Issuance divided by (y) the aggregate number of Voting Securities immediately prior to the Additional Issuance and (B) the aggregate number of Voting Securities being issued by the Company in the Additional Issuance and (2) subtracting from such product the number of Ordinary Shares, if any, issued to, or purchased by, the Shareholder in such Additional Issuance and the number of Voting Securities otherwise acquired by or on behalf of the Shareholder during the period beginning on the date of the Additional Issuance until the third Business Day prior to the closing date of such issue.

(b) For purposes hereof, the “Current Market Price” on the date of the calculation thereof shall be deemed to be the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average price per Ordinary Share for each of the 30 consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to such date (x) if the Ordinary Shares are not listed or admitted for trading on any national, international or foreign securities exchange but trades in the Ordinary Shares are otherwise quoted or reported by the OTC Bulletin Board service (the “OTCBB”) or such other quotation system then in use, as reported by Bloomberg (or in the event such price is not so reported for any such Trading Day for any reason or is manifestly erroneous, as reasonably determined by an Approved Bank), or (y) if the Ordinary Shares are listed or admitted for trading on any national, international or foreign securities exchange, as reported by such exchange (provided, that if the Ordinary Shares are listed on more than one national, international or foreign securities exchange, then the national, international or foreign securities exchange with the highest average trading volume for the Ordinary Shares during the 30 Trading Day period shall be used for such purpose; provided, further, that in the event such price is not so reported for any such Trading Day for any reason or is manifestly erroneous, as reasonably determined by an Approved Bank); provided, however, that in the event that the Current Market Price per share of the applicable Voting Securities is determined during a period following the announcement by the Company of (A) a dividend or distribution on such Voting Securities payable in such Voting Securities or securities convertible into such Voting Securities, or (B) any conversion, subdivision, combination, consolidation, reverse share split or reclassification of such Voting Securities, and the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution, or the record date for such conversion, subdivision, combination, consolidation, reverse stock split or reclassification shall not have occurred prior to the commencement of the requisite 30 Trading Day period, then the Current Market Price shall be properly adjusted to take into account ex-dividend trading.

(c) If the Ordinary Shares are not publicly held or not so listed or traded, Current Market Price per share shall mean the fair value per share as determined in good faith by an Approved Bank (as defined below), whose determination shall be conclusive for all purposes. The term “Trading Day” shall mean a day on which the OTCBB is open for the transaction of business or, if the Ordinary Shares are listed or admitted to trading on the applicable national, international or foreign securities exchange, a day on which such national, international or foreign securities exchange is open for transaction of business. For the purposes of this Section 7.2 only, the term “Approved Bank” shall mean the highest-ranking investment bank (other than the first-ranked investment bank) as determined by reference to the Thomson Reuters League Tables (or successor thereto) for worldwide mergers and acquisitions for the most recently completed calendar year that is willing to perform such determination and has not otherwise worked on a material mandate for either the Company or the Shareholder during the preceding twelve-month period.

Section 7.3 Restrictive Covenants .

(a) For the period commencing on the date hereof and expiring on the second anniversary thereof, none of National Industrialization Company Ltd. or Dr. Talal Al-Shair shall, and such Persons shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate or otherwise participate or engage in the Business (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) anywhere in the world (a “Competing Business”): provided that, this Section 7.3 shall not prohibit any Person or any of its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, from:

(i) having Beneficial Ownership of (A) any Voting Securities or (B) up to and including 4.9% of any class of outstanding securities of any other Person; provided that if the Beneficial Ownership by such Person or any of its Affiliates of the securities of any other Person exceeds 4.9% of any class of outstanding securities of such Person as a result of a combination of shares, recapitalization, consolidation or other reorganization of such Person, there shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Section 7.3(a)(i) if such first Person or its applicable Affiliate divests or causes the divestiture of an amount of the securities of such second Person necessary for such first Person or its applicable Affiliate to Beneficially Own 4.9% or less of the applicable class of outstanding securities of such second Person within twelve months after the date of such combination of shares, recapitalization, consolidation or other reorganization;

(ii) conducting the Other Cristal Businesses (as defined in the Transaction Agreement); or

(iii) acquiring any Persons or businesses (an “Acquired Business”) that include a Competing Business (an “Acquired Competing Business”) and carrying on the Acquired Competing Business if such Acquired Competing Business comprises less than the greater of (A) 20% of the revenues of the Acquired Business (measured as of the completed calendar year preceding the year in which the acquisition of the Acquired Business is completed), but not more than $200,000,000 of the aggregate revenues of the Acquired Business in such calendar year (measured using the Exchange Rate (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) as of the last Business Day of such calendar year) and (B) $50,000,000 of the revenues of such Acquired Business (measured as of the completed calendar year preceding the year in which the acquisition of the Acquired Business is completed and using the Exchange Rate as of the last Business Day of such preceding calendar year); provided, that if neither clause (A) nor (B) applies, such Person or its Affiliates may consummate the acquisition of such Acquired Business, provided further that such Person or its applicable Affiliates shall enter into a definitive agreement to divest such Acquired Competing Business within six months following the date on which such Acquired Business was acquired. If the divestiture of an Acquired Competing Business is required pursuant to this Section 7.3(a)(iii), such Person shall provide notice to the Company, and such Person shall not, and shall not permit or cause any of its Affiliates to, enter into any definitive agreement regarding such divestiture without first commencing and conducting in good faith for not less than 20 Business Days negotiations with the Company regarding a potential acquisition by the Company or its Affiliates of such Acquired Competing Business.

(b) For the period commencing on the date hereof and expiring on the second anniversary thereof, none of National Industrialization Company Ltd., Gulf Investment Corporation or Dr. Talal Al-Shair shall, and such Persons shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly (including through representatives), solicit, influence, entice or encourage any Transferred Employee (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) to cease his or her employment with the Company or its Affiliates, as applicable, without the prior written consent of the Company; provided that the foregoing will not be deemed to prohibit any Person or its Affiliates from engaging in general media advertising or general employment solicitation that may be targeted to a particular geographic or technical area but that is not targeted towards Transferred Employees.

(c) The parties hereto acknowledge that (i) the restrictive provisions of this Section 7.3 are a material inducement for the Company to enter into this Agreement, (ii) the Company would not enter into this Agreement without such restrictive provisions and (iii) such restrictive provisions are reasonable and necessary and that the Company will be irrevocably damaged if such covenants are not specifically enforced. Accordingly, each of the parties hereto agrees that, in addition to any other relief or remedies available to the Company, the Company shall be entitled to seek and obtain an appropriate injunction or other equitable remedy from a court for the purposes of restraining a party hereto from any actual or threatened breach of such covenants, and no bond or security will be required in connection therewith. It is the desire of the parties hereto that the restrictive provisions of this Section 7.3 be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under any applicable Law and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If a court declares that any term or provision of Section 7.3 is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to (and the parties hereto shall request such court to) reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or enforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and Section 7.3 shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

Section 7.4 Matching Rights . If any other Person (the “Other Investor”) who is or becomes a holder of Voting Securities was or is granted rights by the Company as a shareholder of the Company (solely in such capacity) that are (i) within the express scope of the rights granted to the Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) more favorable to such shareholder than the rights granted to the Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall, if the Other Investor owns or comes to own fewer Voting Securities than the Shareholder, promptly cause this Agreement to be amended to cause the same rights to be provided to the Shareholder. In determining whether an Other Investor is granted rights more favorable than the rights granted to the Shareholder under this Agreement, no account shall be taken of any restrictions or obligations to which the Shareholder is subject under this Agreement or to which such Other Investor agrees.

Section 7.5 Tax Cooperation . During the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the fourth (4th) anniversary of the date of this Agreement, the Company shall act in accordance with Exhibit A.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1 Injunctive Relief . Each party hereto acknowledges that it would be impossible to determine the amount of damages that would result from any breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement and that the remedy at law for any breach, or threatened breach, of any of such provisions would likely be inadequate and, accordingly, agrees that each other party shall, in addition to any other rights or remedies which it may have, be entitled to seek such equitable and injunctive relief as may be available from any court of competent jurisdiction to compel specific performance of, or restrain any party from violating, any of such provisions. In connection with any action or proceeding for injunctive relief, each party hereto hereby waives the claim or defense that a remedy at law alone is adequate and agrees, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to have each provision of this Agreement specifically enforced against it, without the necessity of posting bond or other security against it, and consents to the entry of injunctive relief against it enjoining or restraining any breach or threatened breach of such provisions of this Agreement.

Section 9.2 Persons to Comply with this Agreement . Cristal, the Shareholder, National Industrialization Company Ltd., Gulf Investment Corporation and Dr. Talal Al-Shair confirm that, where from time to time any other Person holds legal title to Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Shareholder, it shall be on the basis that the Person is contractually obliged to comply with their instructions in relation to such Voting Securities and that they shall, if necessary, promptly enforce their right to instruct the Person in order to ensure that their obligations under this Agreement are duly complied with and that the Person does not act in any way that would amount to a contravention of such obligations.

Section 9.3 Successors and Assigns . This Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the Company and by the Shareholder and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and no such term or provision is for the benefit of, or intended to create any obligations to, any other Person, except (a) Exxaro is an intended third party beneficiary of the rights granted to it in Section 3.3(b), (b) that the Persons indemnified under Article VI are intended third party beneficiaries of Article VI, (c) that Non-Liable Persons are intended third party beneficiaries of Section 9.12 and (d) as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided for or permitted herein, neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder shall be assignable without the consent of the other party.

Section 9.4 Amendments; Waiver . This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by an agreement in writing executed by each of the parties hereto. Either party hereto may waive in whole or in part any benefit or right provided to it under this Agreement, such waiver being effective only if contained in a writing executed by the waiving party. No failure by any party hereto to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, duty, agreement or condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon breach thereof shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of any other covenant, duty, agreement or condition, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right accruing to it thereafter.

Section 9.5 Notices . All notices, requests, consents, demands, waivers and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested), (c) on the date sent by facsimile (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next Business Day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient, or (d) on the fifth day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.

Tronox may object to the amounts contained in the Estimated Closing Statement within two Business Days after the delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement to Tronox. Cristal shall in good faith consider the objections, if any, of Tronox to the Estimated Closing Statement and, if Cristal determines in good faith that revisions are appropriate, re-issue an Estimated Closing Statement containing the Estimated Adjustment Amount no later than one Business Day prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Closing Statement . As promptly as practicable following the Closing Date (but in any event within 90 days thereafter), Tronox shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to Cristal a statement (the “ Closing Statement ”) consisting of a calculation in reasonable detail (including calculation of the Closing Working Capital, Closing Other Non-Current Liabilities and Closing Cash) of (i) the Adjustment Amount, if any, and (ii) the amount, if any, payable pursuant to Section 1.08(g) .

(d) Closing Statement Dispute Notice . The Closing Statement shall become final, binding and conclusive upon Cristal and Tronox on the 45 ^th day following Tronox’s delivery of the Closing Statement unless Cristal delivers to Tronox on or prior to such 45th day a written notice (a “ Closing Statement Dispute Notice ”) stating that Cristal disputes one or more items contained in the Closing Statement (a “ Disputed Item ”) and specifying in reasonable detail each Disputed Item. If Cristal timely delivers a Closing Statement Dispute Notice, all items in the Closing Statement that are not Disputed Items shall be final, binding and conclusive as to Tronox and Cristal for all purposes hereunder except for any such items that must be changed or adjusted as a direct consequence of a change or adjustment to a Disputed Item.

(e) Resolution Period . If Cristal timely delivers a Closing Statement Dispute Notice, then Tronox and Cristal shall seek in good faith to resolve the Disputed Items during the 30-day period beginning on the date Tronox receives the Closing Statement Dispute Notice (the “ Resolution Period ”). If Tronox and Cristal reach agreement with respect to any Disputed Items, Tronox shall revise the Closing Statement to reflect such agreement.

(f) Independent Accountant . If Tronox and Cristal are unable to resolve all Disputed Items during the Resolution Period, then, at the request of either Party, Tronox and Cristal shall jointly engage and submit the unresolved Disputed Items (the “ Unresolved Items ”) to such firm of independent accountants of internationally recognized standing as Cristal and Tronox agree (the “ Independent Accountant ”). Tronox and Cristal shall enter into reasonable and customary arrangements for the services to be rendered by the Independent Accountant, including a customary non-disclosure agreement. Tronox and Cristal shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Independent Accountant to issue its written determination regarding the Unresolved Items within 30 days after such items are submitted to it for resolution. The Independent Accountant shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator. The Independent Accountant shall make a determination with respect to the Unresolved Items only and in a manner consistent with this Section 1.08 and the Accounting Principles. The Independent Accountant shall limit its review only to the Unresolved Items. In reviewing any Unresolved Items, the Independent Accountant may not assign a value to any Unresolved Item that is greater than the greatest value or less than the smallest value for such Unresolved Item claimed by either Party. As an initial procedural matter, each Party shall no later than five Business Days after the Independent Accountant has been retained prepare a statement which it shall deliver to the Independent Accountant setting forth its position regarding the Unresolved Items. Such statement shall be accompanied by such supporting documentation as the Party preparing the same may care to submit. After the Independent Accountant has received both statements, the Parties shall cause the Independent Accountant to simultaneously provide such statements to both Parties (including all accompanying exhibits and schedules). Following delivery of the Parties’ statements of position, the Parties shall have the opportunity to schedule a joint meeting with both Parties and the Independent Accountant so each Party may present its evidence and the Independent Accountant may ask any questions regarding the Parties’ respective positions. For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent Accountant may ask questions regarding the Parties’ respective positions both at the meeting or at any time after (but prior to the Independent Accountant’s delivery of its determination referred to below). Following the meeting with the Independent Accountant (but no more than ten Business Days after), the Parties may (using the same procedure specified above with respect to the preparation and submission of the initial position statements) submit a final statement of position (together with the initial statements, the “ Position Statements ”). Except as specified above regarding the delivery of the Parties’ Position Statements to the Independent Accountant, all communications between either Party and the Independent Accountant or from the Independent Accountant to either Party shall copy the other, and no ex-parte communications or meetings shall be permitted. The determination of the Independent Accountant shall be based solely on (x) the definitions and other applicable provisions of this Agreement, (y) the Parties’ respective Position Statements and (z) the meeting referred to above and follow up questions therefrom (and not on an independent review), and such determination shall be final, binding and conclusive on Tronox and Cristal absent manifest error. The fees, expenses and costs of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by Cristal and Tronox in the same proportion as the aggregate amount of the Unresolved Items that is unsuccessfully disputed by each (as determined by the Independent Accountant) bears to the total amount of the Unresolved Items submitted to the Independent Accountant.

(g) Final Adjustment . If (i) the Adjustment Amount (A) as set forth on the Closing Statement delivered by Tronox to Cristal if Cristal does not timely deliver a Closing Statement Dispute Notice pursuant to Section 1.08(d) , (B) as agreed by Tronox and Cristal pursuant to Section 1.08(e) , or (C) as determined by the Independent Accountant pursuant to Section 1.08(f) (as applicable, the “ Actual Adjustment Amount ”) exceeds the Estimated Adjustment Amount, then Tronox shall pay to Cristal an amount in cash equal to such excess, or (ii) the Estimated Adjustment Amount exceeds the Actual Adjustment Amount, then Cristal shall pay to Tronox an amount in cash equal to such excess.

(h) Sole Remedy . For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 1.08 shall serve as the sole and exclusive source of recovery for any amounts owed to Cristal or Tronox in connection with the determination of the Actual Adjustment Amount and any payments in connection therewith.

(i) Method of Payment . Any amount paid pursuant to Section 1.08(g) shall be made within five Business Days after the Closing Statement becomes final pursuant to Section 1.08(d) , Section 1.08(e) or Section 1.08(f) by wire transfer of immediately available cash funds to an account designated by the receiving Party.

Section 1.09 Withholding . Tronox, Cristal and/or their applicable Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to Cristal and/or its applicable Affiliates, and other payments pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts as Tronox, Cristal and/or their applicable Affiliates are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any applicable provision of any other U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law. To the extent that such amounts are withheld by Tronox, Cristal and/or their applicable Affiliates, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom or for whose account the Agreement requires the applicable payment to be made. Tronox or Cristal, as applicable, shall (a) promptly notify the other Party of any anticipated withholding in respect of the Consideration, (b) consult with the other Party in good faith to determine whether such deduction and withholding is required under applicable Tax Law, and (c) cooperate with the other Party in good faith to minimize the amount of any applicable withholding (including by cooperating in respect of an application for a Variation Notice related to any Australian withholding Tax in respect of any of the Acquired Shares, and by working in good faith to restructure the Transactions to the extent necessary to reduce or eliminate the aggregate amount of such withholding Tax). Notwithstanding the foregoing (and notwithstanding Section 10.02 ), to the extent any Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from (or, in the case of Transfer Taxes or VAT, are imposed on) the Consideration solely as a result of an assignment by Tronox of any of its rights or obligations pursuant to Section 12.11 to an Affiliate (other than, (i) in the case of the sale and purchase of the Transferred Assets, an assignment to an Affiliate that is an entity formed in the United States, and (ii) in the case of the sale and purchase of the Yanbu Securities, an assignment to an Affiliate that is an entity formed in the United Kingdom), Tronox shall pay (or cause to be paid) such additional amounts as necessary so that after such deduction, withholding or payment of Taxes has been made (including in respect of additional amounts described in this sentence), Cristal or the Seller, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment of Taxes been made. Tronox and Cristal agree to, and to cause their applicable Affiliates to, cooperate in good faith to minimize the amount of any applicable withholding with respect to any other payment pursuant to this Agreement. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to any assignment that is agreed to by the parties in accordance with this Section 1.09 or that occurs pursuant to Section 10.09 of this Agreement.

(a) by mutual written consent of Cristal and Tronox;

(b) by either Cristal or Tronox:

(i) if the Closing has not occurred on or before June 30, 2018 (the “ End Date ”); provided that if on the End Date (and any subsequent “End Date” as has been extended in accordance with this proviso) any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01(c) or Section 7.01(e) (to the extent relating to the matters set forth in Section 7.01(c) ) (the “ Antitrust Conditions ”) shall not have been satisfied but all other conditions set forth in Article VII shall have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but provided that such conditions shall then be capable of being satisfied if the Closing were to take place on such date), then the End Date shall be automatically extended to: first, September 30, 2018, then December 31, 2018 and then finally March 31, 2019 (if the Antitrust Conditions are not by each of such dates then satisfied, but provided that such conditions then remain capable of being satisfied), and such date shall thereafter become the End Date for purposes of this Agreement; provided further that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.01(b)(i) shall not be available to any Party if such failure of the Closing to occur on or before the End Date (as the same has been extended pursuant to this Section 8.01(b)(i) ) is primarily the result of the failure of the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform in any material respect any of its obligations under this Agreement;

(ii) if the condition set forth in Section 7.01(e) is not satisfied and the Legal Restraint giving rise to such non-satisfaction shall have become final and non-appealable; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(b)(ii) shall not be available to any Party if the Legal Restraint’s having become final and non-appealable was primarily due to the failure of such Party to perform in any material respect any of its obligations under this Agreement; or

(iii) if the Approval Resolutions are not passed at the Tronox General Meeting;

(c) by Cristal, if Tronox breaches or fails to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, or if any of the representations or warranties of Tronox contained herein fails to be true and correct, which breach or failure (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.02(b) or 7.02(c) and (ii) is not reasonably capable of being cured by the End Date or, if reasonably capable of being cured, shall not have been cured (A) within 30 days following receipt of written notice from Cristal of such breach or failure or (B) any shorter period of time that remains between the date Cristal provides written notice of such breach or failure and the End Date; provided that Cristal shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(c) if it is then in material breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, and any representation or warranty of Cristal contained herein then fails to be true and correct, such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.03(b) or 7.03(d) would not then be satisfied; or

(d) by Tronox, if Cristal breaches or fails to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, or if any of the representations or warranties of Cristal contained herein fails to be true and correct, which breach or failure (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.03(b) or 7.03(c) and (ii) is not reasonably capable of being cured by the End Date or, if reasonably capable of being cured, shall not have been cured (A) within 30 days following receipt of written notice from Tronox of such breach or failure or (B) any shorter period of time that remains between the date Tronox provides written notice of such breach or failure and the End Date; provided that Tronox shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(d) if it is then in material breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, and no representation or warranty of Tronox contained herein then fails to be true and correct, such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.02(b) or 7.02(c) would not then be satisfied; or

(e) by Tronox, if Tronox, acting reasonably and in good faith and after consultation with its outside legal counsel, determines that either of the Antitrust Conditions is not reasonably likely to be able to be satisfied (taking into account the expectations of the Parties as at the date of this Amendment), despite Tronox’s reasonable best efforts to satisfy the Antitrust Conditions as required under Section 6.03 .

(e) The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.02 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if Tronox fails to pay any amount pursuant to this Section 8.02 when due and, in order to obtain such payment, Cristal commences a suit that results in a judgment against Tronox for any amounts due pursuant to this Section 8.02 , Tronox shall pay to the other Party its out-of-pocket, documented costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in connection with the collection of such overdue amount and the enforcement by Cristal of its rights under this Section 8.02 and Tronox will pay to Cristal interest on such overdue amount (for the period commencing as of the date such overdue amount was originally required to be paid and ending on the date such overdue amount is actually paid to Cristal in full) at a rate per annum of the “prime rate” (as announced by Bank of America, N.A. or any successor thereto) in effect on the date such overdue amount was originally required to be paid.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that the Tronox Termination Fee is payable and Tronox pays the Tronox Termination Fee pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 8.02 , such payment, and any costs or expenses payable to Cristal pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6.04 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy, except as provided in Section 8.02(a) , of Cristal and its Affiliates against Tronox, its Affiliates and any of their respective former, current, or future shareholders, equityholders, partners, directors, officers, members, managers, Affiliates or agents for any losses or damages suffered as a result of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Tronox in this Agreement or in any certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith or the failure of the Transactions to be consummated, and upon payment of such amount if and when due, none of Tronox, its Affiliates or any of their respective former, current, or future stockholders, equityholders, partners, directors, officers, members, managers, Affiliates or agents shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions.

Reasonably promptly following the date of this Agreement (and in any event prior to the Closing), Cristal will determine whether the stock of Cristal Metals Inc. is or has been a USRPI during such applicable period.

To the extent Cristal determines the stock of Cristal Metals Inc. is or has been a USRPI during such applicable period, Cristal shall seek a certificate from the IRS pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-3 to the effect that a transfer of the shares of Cristal Metals Inc. is exempt from withholding; provided, that to the extent Cristal is unable to obtain such a certificate prior to Closing, the transfer of the shares of Cristal Metals Inc. in connection with the Restructuring shall be subject to withholding in accordance with Section 1445 of the Code and Cristal shall prior to Closing provide evidence to Tronox that (x) the appropriate amount has been withheld and set aside by the Company for timely payment of the applicable Taxes (if any) following an IRS determination, in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-1(c)(2) or (y) the appropriate Taxes were withheld and remitted to the applicable taxing authority. To the extent that, as of the time of Closing, an amount has been withheld and set aside pursuant to clause (x) of the preceding sentence, (i) Tronox will procure that the appropriate Taxes (if any) are remitted by the Company to the applicable taxing authority promptly following the applicable IRS determination and, to the extent the amount of such Taxes does not exceed the amount that has been withheld and set aside as of the time of the Closing, no indemnification shall be required in respect of such Taxes under Section 9.01 , (ii) to the extent the amount that has been withheld and set aside exceeds the amount of Tax (if any) the Company is required to pay pursuant to the applicable IRS determination, Tronox shall promptly refund such excess to Cristal, and (iii) such amount and the withholding Tax liability such amount was set aside to address shall not be reflected in the calculation of the Estimated Adjustment Amount or the Actual Adjustment Amount. If Cristal does not make the representation in Section 4.09(e) of this Agreement or provide the certificate described in Section 1.07(a)(vi) with respect to Cristal Metals Inc. and Tronox determines that a post-closing transfer of Cristal Metals Inc. could be subject to withholding under Section 1445 of the Code, Tronox and Cristal shall work in good faith to determine whether to cause the shares of Cristal Metals Inc. to be sold directly to a US subsidiary of Tronox (either subject to no withholding under Section 1445 of the Code, if a certificate under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-3 is obtained from the IRS and provided to Tronox prior to Closing, or subject to applicable withholding under Section 1445 of the Code), it being understood Cristal and its Affiliates shall not be required to make such a sale if doing so would reasonably be expected to result in material Taxes (other than the withholding under Section 1445 of the Code just described) for the Cristal Indemnitees, against which they are not indemnified by Tronox to Cristal’s reasonable satisfaction.
