If Freeport fails to so notify Buyer prior to the expiration of the Offer Period (for the avoidance of doubt, an attempt to accept an Offer under any material terms other than as set out in the Offer Notice shall be deemed not to be an acceptance of such Offer), it shall be deemed to have rejected such Offer.

(c)    If Freeport elects to accept an Offer, Freeport shall purchase and pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer, for all Offered Securities within 20 Business Days after the date on which such Offer has been accepted; provided that, if the Transfer of such Offered Securities is subject to any prior regulatory approval, subject to Section 6.04(d)(iii), the time period during which such Transfer may be consummated shall be extended until the expiration of five Business Days after all such approvals shall have been received, or until a customary drop-dead date has been reached under the terms of the definitive Contract governing such Transfer.

(d)    Upon the earlier to occur of (i) rejection of the Offer by Freeport, (ii) the expiration of the Offer Period without Freeport accepting the Offer, (iii) the failure to obtain any required consent or regulatory approval for the purchase of all of the Offered Securities by Freeport or (iv) the expiration of the applicable drop-dead date under the definitive Contract governing the applicable Transfer, Buyer or its applicable Affiliate shall have a 180-day period during which to effect a Transfer of any or all of the Offered Securities on the same or more favorable (as to Buyer or its applicable Affiliate) terms and conditions as were set forth in the Offer Notice at a price in cash not less than the Offer Price; provided that, if the Transfer is subject to regulatory approval, such 180-day period shall be extended until the expiration of five Business Days after all such approvals shall have been received, but in no event shall such period be extended for more than an additional 90 days. If Buyer or its applicable Affiliate does not consummate the Transfer of the Offered Securities in accordance with the foregoing time limitations, then the right of Buyer or its applicable Affiliate to effect the Transfer of such Offered Securities pursuant to this Section 6.04(d) shall terminate and Buyer and its Affiliates shall again comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 6.04 with respect to any proposed Qualifying Transfer.

(e)    The right of first offer granted to Freeport pursuant to this Section 6.04 shall be subject to any applicable right of first offer or similar right held by a shareholder of TFHL or TFM, or its Affiliates, under the TFHL JVSA or TFM Shareholders Agreement. From and after the date hereof, Buyer and its Affiliates shall not, and shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries not to, (i) enter into any new Contract or any other written or oral arrangement or (ii) amend, modify or otherwise alter, or waive any material rights under, any existing organizational document, Contract or any other similar written or oral arrangement, in each case with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including TFHL and TFM, in any manner that would adversely affect the ability of Freeport to exercise its rights under this ‎Section 6.04.

(f)    In connection with Freeport’s consideration of an Offer, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Freeport’s reasonable requests, including by making the properties, books and records, and other assets

relating to the Offered Securities reasonably available for inspection by Freeport, establishing a physical or electronic data room including materials customarily made available to potential acquirers in connection with sales processes and making its officers and employees reasonably available for a management presentation, due diligence calls and a site visit, in each case subject to reasonable and customary confidentiality provisions.

(g)    Any dispute between Freeport and Buyer as to what the Offer Price is for any Offered Securities in any Qualifying Transfer shall be resolved by determining such Offer Price in the same manner as Transaction Price is determined pursuant to Section 6.06(c), which Section 6.06(c) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to such a dispute.

Section 6.05. TFHL JVSA. (a) If a shareholder (other than Buyer) in TFHL or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Applicable Transferor”) desires to Transfer any securities directly or indirectly held by such Applicable Transferor in TFHL or any of its Subsidiaries (or any of their respective successors) and (i) such Transfer would result in a right of first offer, right of preemption or other similar right in favor of Buyer or one of its Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, TFHL) and (ii) Buyer or its applicable Affiliate elects not to exercise its applicable right in full, then Buyer or its applicable Affiliate shall offer such right of first offer, right of preemption or other similar right to Freeport in accordance with this Section 6.05. As promptly as reasonably practicable following Buyer’s or its applicable Affiliates’ receipt of notice with respect to the applicable right of first offer, right of preemption or other similar right, Buyer shall give notice (an “Election Notice”) to Freeport of such applicable right, which notice shall set forth the number and kind of securities proposed to be Transferred by the Applicable Transferor, the cash price per share that the Applicable Transferor proposes to be paid for such securities (the “Election Price”) and all other material terms sought by the Applicable Transferor.

(b)    The giving of an Election Notice to Freeport shall, solely to the extent that Buyer or its applicable Affiliate elects not to exercise its applicable right in full (such securities with respect to which Buyer or such Affiliate declines to exercise its right, the “Election Eligible Securities”), constitute an offer (the “Election Offer”) by Buyer or its applicable Affiliate to exercise the applicable right of first offer, right of preemption or other similar right on behalf of Freeport. Freeport shall have until the end of the notice period set forth in the applicable shareholders agreement (the “Election Offer Period”) in which to accept such Election Offer with respect to all or, to the extent permitted under the terms of the applicable shareholders agreement, less than all of the Election Eligible Securities by giving a notice of acceptance to Buyer prior to the expiration of such Election Offer Period. If Freeport provides such a notice of acceptance, Buyer shall immediately exercise its right to purchase the Election Eligible Securities, if any,

at the Election Price from the Applicable Transferor in accordance with the terms of the applicable shareholders agreement. If Freeport fails to notify Buyer prior to the expiration of the Election Offer Period, it shall be deemed to have declined such Election Offer.

(c)    If Freeport elects to purchase Election Eligible Securities (such purchased securities, the “Election Purchased Securities”), Freeport shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, purchase and pay (or provide Buyer with the funds to purchase and pay) for the Election Purchased Securities on the terms and at the time set forth in the Election Notice and in the applicable shareholders agreement; provided that if Buyer or one of its Affiliates is the purchaser of the Election Purchased Securities under the applicable purchase agreement, Freeport and Buyer (or such Affiliate) shall enter into an arrangement under which (i) Freeport shall obtain the benefit of all rights in favor of Buyer (or such Affiliate) under the purchase agreement and (ii) Buyer (or such Affiliate) shall assign to Freeport all right, title and interest to the Election Purchased Securities immediately following the consummation of the purchase by Buyer (or such Affiliate) (or, immediately following the time at which the parties obtain all required regulatory approvals for such an assignment, as determined by Freeport in its reasonable discretion).

(d)    Anything in this Section 6.05 to the contrary notwithstanding, this Section 6.05 shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Election Purchased Securities or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if such assignment, without the consent of a third party thereto, would constitute a breach or other contravention of the applicable shareholders agreements to which such Election Purchased Securities are subject or in any way adversely affect the rights of Freeport or Buyer thereunder. Freeport and Buyer shall use their best efforts (but without any payment of money by Freeport or Buyer) to obtain the consent of such applicable third parties for the assignment of the Election Purchased Securities to Freeport as Freeport may request. If such consent is not obtained, or if an attempted assignment of the Election Purchased Securities would be ineffective or would adversely affect the rights of Buyer thereunder so that Freeport would not in fact receive all such rights, Buyer and Freeport shall cooperate in a mutually agreeable arrangement under which Freeport would obtain the benefits and assume the obligations thereunder, with Freeport assuming Buyer’s obligations and any and all rights of Buyer against a third parties. Buyer shall promptly pay to Freeport when received all monies received by Buyer with respect to any Election Purchased Securities or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder.

(e)    Freeport shall have the right in connection with its consideration of an Election Offer to require Buyer to cooperate fully by taking all customary and other actions reasonably requested by Freeport, including making the properties,

books and records, and other assets relating to the Election Eligible Securities reasonably available for inspection by Freeport, establishing a physical or electronic data room including materials customarily made available to potential acquirors in connection with sales processes and making its officers and employees reasonably available for presentations, interviews and other diligence activities, in each case subject to reasonable and customary confidentiality provisions.

(f)    From and after the date hereof, Buyer and its Affiliates shall not, and shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries not to, (i) enter into any new Contract or any other written or oral arrangement or (ii) amend, modify or otherwise alter, or waive any material rights under, any existing organizational document, Contract or any other similar written or oral arrangement, in each case with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including TFHL and TFM, in any manner that would adversely affect the ability of Freeport to exercise its rights under this Section 6.05.

(g)    Freeport shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its Subsidiaries and their respective representatives from and against any and all Damages arising out of or in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Section 6.05.

Section 6.06. Certain Future Acquisitions and Dispositions.

(a)    Neither Buyer nor any Affiliate of Buyer shall Transfer, or enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding to Transfer, the Subject Shares or any Participating Interest (any such Transfer or the entry into any such agreement, arrangement or understanding, a “Triggering Sale”) at any time from May 9, 2016 through the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”). Any Triggering Sale made after the date hereof during the balance of the Restricted Period, shall be null and void ab initio.

(b)    If, at any time from and after May 9, 2016 through the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date, any Person shall Transfer to Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or Buyer or any of its Affiliates shall enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding providing for the Transfer to Buyer or any of its Affiliates of, any Participating Interests (any such Transfer or the entry into any such agreement, arrangement or understanding, a “Triggering Purchase”), including by way of any Transfer of the Subject Shares or any securities or interest in any Person that directly or indirectly holds Participating Interests, at a Transaction Price that is higher than the Base Price, then Buyer shall (i) contemporaneously notify Freeport of the occurrence of such event and (ii) pay to Freeport an amount equal to (A) such Transaction Price minus the Base Price, multiplied by (B) 70. Any payment pursuant to this Section 6.06(b) shall be made on the later of (x) five Business Days following the date on which such Triggering

Purchase is consummated and (y) the final determination of the Transaction Price in accordance with Section 6.06(c).

(c)    With respect to any Triggering Purchase, “Transaction Price” means the purchase price per one percent Participating Interest paid or to be paid in such Triggering Purchase. For a period of five Business Days following receipt by Freeport of the Buyer notice referred to in Section 6.06(a) or Section 6.06(b) with respect to such Triggering Purchase, Freeport and Buyer shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the Transaction Price. If Freeport and Buyer are unable to so agree during such period, then Freeport and Buyer shall each retain, at its own expense, a nationally recognized investment banking or valuation firm (each, an “Appraiser”) to determine the Transaction Price. Each of the Appraisers shall submit to Freeport and the Buyer in writing its determination of the Transaction Price not later than 30 days after the expiration of such five Business Day period. If the Transaction Price determined by the higher of the two appraisals is less than 110% of the Transaction Price determined by the lower appraisal, the Transaction Price shall be the average of the two appraisals. If the Transaction Price determined by the higher of the two appraisals is greater than 110% of the Transaction Price determined by the lower appraisal, a third Appraiser (“Third Appraiser”) shall promptly, and in event within two weeks of receipt of the last written appraisal received from the first two Appraisers, be jointly retained by Freeport and Buyer (with the fees and expenses of such Third Appraiser to be shared equally by Freeport and Buyer) and such Third Appraiser (i) shall review the valuations performed by the first two Appraisers and (ii) shall select one of the Transaction Prices determined by the first two Appraisers (and not any amount in-between). If a Third Appraiser is retained, the Transaction Price selected by the Third Appraiser shall be the Transaction Price for purposes of the applicable Triggering Purchase. Each of Freeport and Buyer shall furnish to each Appraiser such financial, business and other information as is reasonably necessary to allow it to perform the determinations described in this Section 6.06(c), and Freeport and Buyer shall each be entitled to furnish to each Appraiser such books, records, information and analyses as it may deem relevant. The determination of the Transaction Price in accordance with this Section 6.06(c) shall be final and binding upon Freeport and Buyer.

(d)    Buyer shall not and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to take any action designed to undermine, circumvent or otherwise avoid the purpose or provisions of this Section 6.06.

Buyer and Freeport agree that:

Section 7.01. Reasonable Best Efforts; Further Assurances. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Buyer and Freeport will use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary or desirable under Applicable Law to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements, including (i) preparing and filing as promptly as practicable with any Governmental Authority or other third party all documentation to effect all necessary filings, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, applications and other documents and (ii) obtaining and maintaining all Permits and Orders required to be obtained from any Governmental Authority or other third party that are necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements. Freeport and Buyer agree, and Freeport, prior to the Closing, and Buyer, after the Closing, agree to cause the Company and its Subsidiaries, to execute and deliver such other documents, certificates, Contracts and other writings and to take such other actions as may be necessary or desirable in order to consummate or implement expeditiously the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements.

(b)    In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of Freeport and Buyer shall provide, or cause to be provided, to any Governmental Authority all information and documents required or requested by any such Governmental Authority, including by (i) filing any notification and report form and related material required under any Antitrust Law with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, (ii) supplying as promptly as practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any Antitrust Law and (iii) in the case of Buyer, filing or otherwise submitting (to the extent not filed or submitted prior to the date of this Agreement) with each applicable Governmental Authority, all required documentation and information in respect of the Required PRC Approvals in accordance with Section 7.03(d).

(c)    The Parties acknowledge and agree that Buyer’s obligations to use its reasonable best efforts as set forth in this Section 7.01 shall include an obligation of Buyer to (i) take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all actions necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Applicable Law so as to enable the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements prior to the End Date, including (A) committing to sell or hold separate businesses, product lines or assets of Buyer or its Affiliates

(including those of the Company), (B) otherwise taking or committing to take actions that after the Closing Date would limit Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ (including the Company’s) freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain or exercise rights of ownership or control with respect to, one or more of the businesses, product lines or assets of Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Company), (C) defending any action, suit or proceeding that challenges any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements and (D) opposing any request for the entry of, and seeking to have dissolved, vacated, lifted, altered, reversed or terminated, any order that could restrain, prevent or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) not take any action (including the acquisition by it or any of its Affiliates of any interest in any Person that derives revenues from products, services or lines of business similar to the Company’s products, services or lines of business) if such action would make it more likely that there would arise any impediments under any Applicable Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements as promptly as reasonably practicable.

(d)    Each of Freeport and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate reasonably with one another and keep the other party reasonably informed of material matters relating to or in connection with the taking of the actions contemplated by this Section 7.01, including (i) affording one another the right to review any written materials to be submitted to such Governmental Authority in advance of the submission thereof and (ii) furnishing one another with copies of all written materials received by or on behalf of such party from such Governmental Authority, in each case to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. Subject to Applicable Law and the attorney-client privilege, neither Buyer nor Freeport shall agree (or permit any of their respective Affiliates to agree) to participate in any pre-scheduled meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry relating to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless it consults with the other party in advance (to the extent reasonably practicable to do so) and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other party and its outside counsel the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting, other than any meeting (or the portion thereof) to the extent not relating to the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 7.02. Certain Filings. Freeport and Buyer shall cooperate with one another (i) in determining whether any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required, or any actions, consents, approvals or waivers are required to be obtained from parties to any material Contracts, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements and (ii) in taking such actions or making any such filings,

furnishing information required in connection therewith and seeking timely to obtain any such actions, consents, approvals or waivers.

Section 7.03. Required PRC Approvals; Required Shareholder Approval.

(a)    In furtherance and not in limitation of Section 7.01, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to take all necessary actions to obtain the Required PRC Approvals as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, no later than the End Date.

(b)    Buyer Guarantor shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to take all necessary actions to obtain the Required Shareholder Approval as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, no later than the End Date.

(c)    Without prejudice to the obligations of Buyer pursuant to the foregoing clause (a), Freeport shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, provide Buyer and its Affiliates with all reasonable assistance and cooperation that is reasonably necessary to obtain the Required PRC Approvals and Required Shareholder Approval.

(d)    Without limiting the generality of clause (a), in respect of the Required PRC Approvals, Buyer shall:

(ii)    promptly provide Freeport with copies of material correspondence and copies of the Buyer’s applications, filings and notifications relating to the Required PRC Approvals (removing any confidential or commercially sensitive information) and updates on any material developments regarding the Required PRC Approvals.

(e)    Without limiting Section 7.01, the parties hereto agree that all requests and enquiries from any Governmental Authority with respect to the Required PRC Approvals shall be dealt with promptly by the parties hereto and the parties hereto shall promptly cooperate with and provide all necessary information and assistance reasonably needed in that respect or required by such Governmental Authority upon being requested to do so by another party hereto.

(f)    Nothing in the foregoing clauses (c), (d) or (e) shall oblige a party to provide any other party with any confidential or commercially sensitive information relating to such first party, its Affiliates, or their respective businesses, except to the extent reasonably required by Buyer in order to obtain the Required PRC Approvals. In this respect, any commercially sensitive information relating to the Seller Guarantor or its Affiliates (including the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) will be communicated to the external advisors that Buyer appoints for that purpose, subject to a written undertaking, in a form reasonably acceptable to Freeport, that such commercially sensitive information is not disclosed to Buyer until after Closing, except for such information relating solely to the Seller Guarantor or its Affiliates other than the Company or its Subsidiaries, which will not be disclosed to Buyer by such advisors at any time.

(g)    In respect of the Required Shareholder Approval, Buyer Guarantor shall, as soon as reasonably practicable:

(i)    and prior to the later of (A) 94 days after the date of this Agreement and (B) 45 days following the delivery by Freeport of the Circular Requirements, prepare and dispatch to Buyer Guarantor’s shareholders a notice of meeting that complies with Buyer Guarantor’s constituent documents and any other requirements relevant to convening a meeting of shareholders of Buyer Guarantor for the purpose of approving the Transaction;

(ii)    in such form as is required by Applicable Law or by the regulation of a stock exchange on which its shares or debt securities are listed, issue to its shareholders and not withdraw prior to the End Date a statement from Buyer Guarantor’s board of directors that such board of directors (A) unanimously considers the entry into the Transaction to be in the best interests of shareholders of Buyer Guarantor and (B) recommends that shareholders approve the Transaction; and

(iii)     no later than 46 days after the dispatch of the notice of meeting pursuant to Section 7.03(g)(i), convene and hold a meeting of Buyer Guarantor’s shareholders at which a resolution is put to such shareholders which, if passed, would result in the satisfaction of the Required Shareholder Approval (the “Shareholders’ Resolution”).

(h)    In addition to the notice of meeting required under Section 7.03(g), if Buyer Guarantor is required by Applicable Law or the regulation of a stock exchange on which its shares or debt securities are listed to make or send a public communication or circular concerning the Transaction (a “Transaction Communication”), then:

(i)    such Transaction Communication shall contain the recommendation of the board of directors referred to in Section 7.03(g)(ii) and be prepared and dispatched to the shareholders of Buyer Guarantor at least fifteen days before the date of the meeting to be held in accordance with Section 7.03(g); and

(ii)    Freeport shall, to the maximum extent allowable pursuant to Applicable Law and in a timeframe which allows Buyer Guarantor a reasonable amount of time to comply with its covenants as to timing pursuant to this Section 7.03, provide all reasonable assistance and cooperation that Buyer Guarantor considers reasonably necessary to prepare such Transaction Communication including, the provision of the Circular Requirements and allowing Buyer and its representatives access to data and resource modelling of the mineral assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries in order to prepare any reports required by Applicable Law or the regulation of the relevant stock exchange on which its shares or debt securities are listed; provided that Freeport shall not be deemed to be in breach of its obligations under this Section 7.03(h)(ii) as a result of any delay arising out of the preparation of the items referred to in clause (ii) of the definition of Circular Requirements.

(i)    Buyer shall give notice to Freeport of the satisfaction or, if applicable, non-satisfaction, of the Required PRC Approvals and the Required Shareholder Approval promptly and within two Business Days of becoming aware of the same.

(j)    Buyer shall promptly, upon request by Freeport, reimburse Freeport for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Freeport or any of its Affiliates in connection with the cooperation of Freeport or any of its Affiliates contemplated by this Section 7.03 and shall indemnify and hold harmless Freeport, its Affiliates and their respective representatives from and against any and all Damages suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the matters described in this Section 7.03 and any information used in connection therewith, and the foregoing obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 7.04. Notices of Certain Events. Each party shall promptly notify the other party of:

(a)    any material notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements;

(b)    any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements;

Section 7.05. Letter of Credit.

(a)    The Buyer shall cause the Bank of China, New York Branch, to deliver the Letter of Credit to JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. (which is acting on behalf of Freeport) in electronic form as promptly as practicable, but no later than the close of business on May 10, 2016.

(b)    Freeport may only draw on the Letter of Credit in the circumstances set forth in the Letter of Credit.

Section 7.06. Public Announcements. The written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of Buyer and Freeport shall be required before any party or any of such party’s Affiliates issues any press release or makes any public statement with respect to this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements or transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; provided, however, that any such public disclosure required by Applicable Law or any listing agreement with a national securities exchange may be made without prior consent of Buyer and Freeport; provided, further, that, to the extent practicable, the disclosing party shall consult with Buyer and Freeport prior to making such public disclosure.

Section 7.07. Bank Accounts. Prior to the Closing, Freeport and Buyer shall cooperate to obtain access, effective as of the Closing, for representatives of Buyer or its Affiliates to the bank, savings, deposit or custodial accounts and safe deposit boxes maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 8.01. Tax Covenants. (i) Buyer covenants that it shall not, and it shall cause its Affiliates to not, cause or permit TFHL and its Subsidiaries that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes (collectively, the “Transferred CFCs”) to take any action on the Closing Date other than in the ordinary course of business, including but not limited to the distribution of any dividend or the effectuation of any redemption, that could give rise to any Tax liability or reduce any Tax Asset of the Seller Group or give rise to any loss of the Seller Group under this Agreement, in each case, for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and (ii) without limiting the foregoing, for the period after Closing and through the close of each Transferred CFC’s respective taxable year (as defined in the Code) that includes the Closing Date, the Buyer shall not cause or permit the Transferred CFCs, as applicable, to engage in the following prohibited transactions:

(a)    declare or pay a dividend;

(b)    make or cause to be made any investment in U.S. property within the meaning of Section 956 of the Code (which investment in U.S. property did not exist as of the Closing); or

(c)    conduct business outside the ordinary course or engage in any transaction outside the ordinary course (in either case based upon each Transferred CFC’s historic activities) if such business or activities would reasonably be expected to impact (i) the amount or character of Freeport’s gross income reportable under Section 1248 of the Code, (ii) the amount of Freeport’s associated deemed-paid foreign taxes within the meaning of Section 902 of the Code that are associated with the Section 1248 inclusion or (iii) the amount of Freeport’s subpart F income within the meaning of Section 952 of the Code.

Section 8.02. Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all Transfer Taxes shall be borne 50% by Buyer and 50% by Freeport. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Buyer will, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns with respect to all Transfer Taxes, and, if required by Applicable Law, Freeport, the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and, where necessary, file such Tax Returns.

Section 8.03. Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(a)    Buyer and Freeport agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon reasonable request (and at the requesting party’s expense), as

promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries (including access to books and records) as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns (including any report required pursuant to Section 6043A of the Code and all Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder), the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Taxing Authority and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax. The parties agree to provide, upon reasonable request (and at the requesting party’s expense), updates as to the status of such claim, suit or proceeding.

(b)    Buyer and Freeport shall (i) retain all books and records with respect to Taxes pertaining to the Company and its Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period for a period of at least seven years following the Closing Date and abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority for all periods required by such Taxing Authority, and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the other party with at least 30 days’ prior written notice before destroying any such books and records, during which period the party receiving the notice can elect to take possession, at its own expense, of such books and records. Freeport and Buyer shall cooperate with each other fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party (and at the requesting party’s expense), in the conduct of any audit or other proceeding relating to Taxes involving the Company and/or its Subsidiaries.

(c)    Buyer and Freeport shall cooperate in good faith in determining the potential applicability of Section 8.01 hereof to any transaction that occurs on or after the Closing Date and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Freeport shall provide Buyer with any information reasonably required by Buyer in order to determine whether any such transaction may reasonably be expected to have the effects described in Section 8.01(ii).

Section 8.04. Straddle Period. In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a ‘‘Straddle Period’’), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, receipts, or payroll of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time) and the amount of other Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. To the extent permitted by

Applicable Law, the parties agree to cause the tax years of the Company and its Subsidiaries to close as of the end of the day on the Closing Date.

Section 8.05. Tax Returns. Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or caused to be filed all Tax Returns for the Company and its Subsidiaries that are filed after the Closing Date; provided, that, with respect to TFHL and TFM, the preparation and filing of Tax Returns shall be performed in accordance with the terms of the TFHL JVSA.

Section 9.01. Continuing Employees. (a) As of the date of this Agreement, the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries is supported by four categories of employees:

(i)    The local employees employed by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company (the “Local Continuing Employees”);

(ii)    The employees listed in Section 9.01(a)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, who are employed by an Affiliate of Freeport and seconded to the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “International Continuing Employees”);

(iii)    The employees filling the roles listed in Section 9.01(a)(iii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, who may be made available by an Affiliate of Freeport to provide transition services to Buyer, the Company and their Affiliates following the Closing pursuant to the Subcontractor Agreement (the “Transition Service Employees”); and

(iv)    The employees who are employed in the United States by an Affiliate of Freeport and provide services with respect to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “U.S. Employees”).

(b)    Transfer of Local Continuing Employees and International Continuing Employees. Effective as of the termination of the Subcontractor Agreement (the “Transfer Date”), the Local Continuing Employees who are employed by the Company or a Company Subsidiary as of the Transfer Date shall continue in such employment and the International Continuing Employees who are employed by an Affiliate of Freeport as of the Transfer Date shall transfer their employment to the Company or an appropriate Company Subsidiary. Buyer and Freeport shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, take all actions necessary to effectuate the foregoing, including without limitation, the transfer of

such employees to the appropriate employers, payrolls and benefit platforms and the extension of offers of employment or transfer on terms and conditions substantially similar to those applicable to each such employee immediately prior to the Closing Date and consistent with Section 9.01(d) below (each such Local Continuing Employee and International Continuing Employee, a “Continuing Employee”). As of the Transfer Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall cease to participate in any compensation plans, benefit plans, and employee programs and coverages of Freeport and its Affiliates, and Continuing Employees shall cease to participate or cease to accrue benefits, as applicable, in the payroll, compensation plans, benefit plans and other employee programs and coverages of the Freeport and its Affiliates and shall commence to participate or accrue benefits, as applicable, in corresponding payroll, compensation plans, benefit plans and employee programs and coverages of Buyer and its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, those of the Company and its Subsidiaries) consistent with Section 9.01(d) below.

(c)    Transfer of Transition Service Employees and U.S. Employees. From and after the date hereof, Buyer and its Affiliates (including, as of the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries) may, at their discretion, offer employment to any Transition Service Employee or U.S. Employee and Buyer and Freeport and their respective Affiliates shall (i) not discourage, or engage in any actions in bad faith that may discourage (including knowingly disparaging Buyer or any of its Affiliates), any Transition Service Employees or U.S. Employees from accepting any such offers and (ii) cooperate to take all actions necessary to effectuate the appropriate transfer of employment of any such employee who accepts any such offer of employment from Buyer and its Affiliates (each, a “Discretionary Hire Employee”). As of the date of such transfer of each such Discretionary Hire Employee, such Discretionary Hire Employee shall cease to participate in the payroll, compensation plans, benefit plans and other employee programs and coverages of the Freeport and its Affiliates and shall commence and continue to participate in corresponding payroll, compensation plans, benefit plans and employee programs and coverages of Buyer and its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, those of the Company and its Subsidiaries) consistent with Section 9.01(d) below.

(d)    Terms of Employment of Employees. In addition to any obligation that Buyer or its Affiliates may have under Applicable Law, for the period beginning on the Closing Date and continuing through the later of the first anniversary of the Closing Date and the termination of the Subcontractor Agreement (the “Relevant Period”), Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company or another appropriate Affiliate of Buyer to, provide to each Continuing Employees and Discretionary Hire Employee (i) a base salary, wage and commission rate, matching and nonelective employer contribution to 401(k) plans and an incentive compensation opportunity that is no less favorable than the base salary, wage and

commission rate, matching and nonelective contribution to 401(k) plans and incentive compensation opportunity of each such Continuing Employee or Discretionary Hire Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date (including, an incentive that is reasonably equivalent in value and terms to any unvested or unearned equity or cash-based incentives forfeited by such Continuing Employee or Discretionary Hire Employee upon such employee’s continuation or transfer of employment hereunder; provided that any such forfeited equity incentives may be replaced by cash-based incentives; provided, further, that the terms of any such cash-based incentives may be modified as necessary to comply with Applicable Law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Code) notwithstanding that such terms are not equivalent, but are as reasonably equivalent in value as practicable to the affected employee) and (ii) employee benefits (including any severance protections) that are, in terms of aggregate value (in-kind or in cash), no less favorable than the benefits (including any severance protections) provided by the Company and its Affiliates to each such Continuing Employee or Discretionary Hire Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date. Neither Buyer, the Company nor any of their respective Affiliates shall terminate the employment of any Continuing Employee or Discretionary Hire Employee during the Relevant Period (other than for just cause). For this purpose, “just cause” means (i) an intentional act of fraud, embezzlement or theft by the employee that occurs during or in the course of such employee’s employment and that, in each case, is materially injurious to the Company or its Affiliates, (ii) intentional disclosure of confidential information by the employee contrary to Company policies that have been distributed to such employee prior to such disclosure; (iii) intentional engagement by the employee during or in the course of such employee’s employment in any competitive activity which would constitute a breach of such employee’s duty of loyalty; (iv) the willful and continued failure by the employee to substantially perform his or her duties (other than as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness); or (v) willful conduct by the employee that is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company monetarily.

(e)    Transition Completion Bonus Program. Buyer shall or shall cause an Affiliate of Buyer to pay to (i) each International Continuing Employee and (ii) each Transition Service Employee and each U.S. Employee who, within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, receives and accepts, in writing, an offer of employment from Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer (including, as of the Closing, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) a bonus pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 9.01(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Transition Completion Bonuses”). Freeport shall promptly reimburse Buyer (or its appropriate Affiliate) for the aggregate amount of such Transition Completion Bonuses pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 9.01(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule up to a maximum aggregate reimbursement of $4,000,000.

Section 9.02. Buyer Plans. In addition to any obligation Buyer or its Affiliates may have under Applicable Law:

(a)    With respect to any employee benefit plan maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates in which any Continuing Employee or Discretionary Hire Employee becomes a participant, for all purposes, including for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, level of benefits, vesting and benefit accrual (other than benefit accrual under a defined benefit pension plan of Buyer or its Affiliates), each Continuing Employee and Discretionary Hire Employee’s service with Freeport, the Company and any of their respective Affiliates (as well as service with any predecessor employer), and as summarized in the schedule provided by Freeport to Buyer as of the Closing Date, shall be treated as service with Buyer and its Affiliates; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits.

(b)    Buyer shall make reasonable efforts to waive, or shall cause its Affiliates to make reasonable efforts to waive, any preexisting conditions, limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under any welfare benefit plan maintained by Buyer or any of its Affiliates in which Continuing Employees or Discretionary Hire Employee (and their eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate. Buyer shall recognize, or shall cause its Affiliates to recognize, all co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses and out-of-pocket maximums incurred by each Continuing Employee and Discretionary Hire Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) prior to the date of transfer for purposes of satisfying any analogous deductible and co-payment limitations and out-of-pocket requirements under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which such Continuing Employee or Discretionary Hire Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the date of transfer.

Section 9.03. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Without limiting the generality of Section 13.09, no provision of this Article 9, express or implied, (a) is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person (including, without limitation, any Continuing Employees, Discretionary Hire Employees and any dependent or beneficiary thereof) other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, (b) shall constitute an amendment of, or an undertaking to amend, any Company Plan or any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement maintained by Freeport, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates, other than an undertaking to amend any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement maintained by Freeport, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates to terminate the participation of the Company or its Subsidiaries in such plan or terminate the participation of any Continuing Employees, Discretionary Hire Employees and any dependent or beneficiary thereof in such plan in accordance with this Article 9, or (c) is

intended to prevent Buyer or its Affiliates from amending or terminating any Company Plan in accordance with its terms.

Section 9.04. Freeport Plans. Freeport agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to amend any Freeport Plan, to the extent necessary, to cease benefit accruals or contributions for Continuing Employees and Discretionary Hire Employees no later than the Transfer Date, subject to the Subcontractor Agreement.

(a) Effective at and after the Closing, Freeport hereby indemnifies Buyer, its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Company, but not including TFHL or any of its Subsidiaries, including TFM) and each of Buyer’s and such Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members and employees, and each such Person’s heirs, successors and permitted assigns, each in their capacity as such (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), against and agrees to hold each of them harmless from, any and all damage, loss, fee, charges, liabilities, claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, payments, judgments, settlements, assessments, deficiencies, Taxes, interest, penalties, and costs and expenses (including removal costs, remediation costs, closure costs, fines and expenses of investigation and monitoring, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with any Proceeding (including, for this purpose, by or before a Taxing Authority), whether involving a Third Party Claim or a claim solely between the parties hereto, and reasonable out of pocket disbursements) (collectively, “Damages”) imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, whether in respect of Third Party Claims, Direct Claims or otherwise, arising out of or related to any (i) breach of any representation or warranty of Freeport or Seller Guarantor in this Agreement (each such misrepresentation or breach of a representation or warranty a “Freeport Warranty Breach”), (ii) breach of covenant or agreement made or to be performed by Freeport pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) (A) all Taxes of Seller

Guarantor and any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) imposed on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a transferee or successor, by Contract or pursuant to Applicable Law, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing, or (B) Taxes for which Freeport is responsible pursuant to Section 8.02, or (iv) Specified Matters; provided that (A) with respect to indemnification by Freeport for Freeport Warranty Breaches (other than breaches of Freeport Fundamental Representations) and Specified Matters pursuant to this Section 11.02(a), (1) Freeport shall not be liable with respect to any individual claim unless the Damages with respect to the underlying Freeport Warranty Breach (or series of related Freeport Warranty Breaches) or Specified Matter exceeds $150,000, (2) Freeport shall not be liable unless the aggregate amount of Damages with respect to such Freeport Warranty Breaches and Specified Matters, disregarding any Damages for which Freeport is not liable pursuant to clause (A)(1) of this proviso, exceeds $33,125,000 and then only to the extent of such excess and (3) Freeport’s maximum aggregate liability for all such Freeport Warranty Breaches and Specified Matters shall not exceed an amount equal to $331,250,000 and (B) Freeport’s maximum aggregate liability for all indemnification obligations under this Agreement shall not exceed the amount of the Purchase Price actually paid or caused to be paid by Buyer as of the date that the applicable claim becomes payable in accordance with this Article 11 (except in the case of fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation). For the purposes of this Section 11.02(a), any qualifications or standards relating to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar qualifications or standards contained in any representation or warranty in this Agreement (other than with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.08, Section 3.09, Section 3.10, Section 3.12(a), the first sentence of Section 3.17(a), Section 3.20(a) and Section 3.21(a)) shall be disregarded for purposes of determining whether such representation or warranty was breached and, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of Damages with respect to such breach.

(b)    Effective at and after the Closing, Buyer hereby indemnifies Freeport, its Affiliates and each of Freeport’s and its Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members and employees, and each such Person’s heirs, successors and permitted assigns, each in their capacity as such against and agrees to hold each of them harmless from, any and all Damages imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, whether in respect of Third Party Claims, Direct Claims, or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with any (i) breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer or Buyer Guarantor in this Agreement (each such misrepresentation or breach of a representation or warranty a “Buyer Warranty Breach”), (ii) breach of covenant or agreement made or to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or (iii) Taxes for which Buyer is responsible pursuant to Section 8.02; provided that (A) with respect to indemnification by Buyer for Buyer Warranty Breaches (other than breaches of Buyer Fundamental

Section 11.03. Third Party Claim Procedures. (a) The party seeking indemnification under Section 11.02 (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give prompt notice in writing (a “Claim Notice”) to the party against whom indemnity is to be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding by any third party (“Third Party Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under such Section. The Claim Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such Third Party Claim, the basis for indemnification and the amount claimed (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party and which amount shall not be conclusive of the final amount of the Third Party Claim). The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party or the defense available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim.

(b)    The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days (or such lesser number of days set forth in the Claim Notice as may be required by court proceeding in the event of a litigated matter) after receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim; it being understood that by assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim the Indemnifying Party shall acknowledge, based on the facts and circumstances then available and known and the matters alleged, that it has an indemnity obligation with respect to such Third Party Claim.

(c)    In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party by appropriate proceedings and shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense, with counsel of its own choice at its expense. Once the Indemnifying Party has duly assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any such defense and to employ separate counsel of its choosing. The Indemnified Party’s participation in any such defense shall be at its expense except to the extent that (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are both named parties to the proceedings and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflict of interest, or (ii) the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim after the Indemnifying Party has failed to diligently pursue a Third Party Claim it has assumed, as provided in the first sentence of Section 11.03(e).

(d)    If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the control of the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.03, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any Third Party Claim on a basis that would result in (i) the imposition of an Order that would restrict or adversely affect the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (ii) a finding or admission of a violation of Applicable Law or violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (iii) a finding or admission that would have an adverse effect on other claims made or threatened against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or (iv) any monetary liability of the Indemnified Party that will not be promptly paid or reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party.

(e)    If the Indemnifying Party (i) elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice of its desire to so defend or otherwise, or (ii) after assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third Party Claim within ten days after receiving written notice from the Indemnified Party to the effect that the Indemnifying Party has so failed, the Indemnified Party shall have the right but not the obligation to assume its own defense; it being understood that, subject to the other provisions of this Article 11, the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification for a Third Party Claim shall not be adversely affected by assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party shall assume the control of the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.03, the Indemnified Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party

(which shall not be unreasonably withheld) settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any Third Party Claim.

(f)    Each party shall cooperate, and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith; it being understood that the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party relating thereto shall be Damages to the extent provided in Section 11.02.

(g)    The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with Applicable Law), and commercially reasonable efforts to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any party to a Third Party Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privileges.

Section 11.04. Direct Claim Procedures. In the event an Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnity under Section 11.02 against an Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party agrees to promptly deliver a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party. Such Claim Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such claim, the basis for indemnification and the amount claimed (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party or the defenses available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim. The parties shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in an appropriate court of jurisdiction determined pursuant to Section 13.06.

Section 11.05. Calculation of Damages. (a) The amount of any Damages payable under Section 11.02 by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies or from any other Person alleged to be responsible therefor. Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any amounts available under insurance coverage for any Damages payable under Section 11.02. If, with respect to any indemnifiable Damages, the Indemnified Party receives any amounts from a third party (including under applicable insurance policies) subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Damages, then such Indemnified Party shall, to the extent that the amounts received by the Indemnified Party are duplicative of Damages paid by an Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party in

relation to the applicable indemnification claim, promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for such payment up to a maximum of the amount received by the Indemnified Party, net of any expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in collecting such amount.

(b)    The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under Section 11.02 for any (i) Damages relating to any matter to the extent that (A) the Indemnified Party had otherwise been compensated for such matter pursuant to the Purchase Price adjustment under Section 2.04 or (B) there is included in the Financial Statements a specific liability or reserve relating to such matter or (ii) consequential, special, indirect or punitive Damages (except for punitive Damages awarded against an Indemnified Party in a Third Party Claim) or Damages for lost profits.

(d)    Each Indemnified Party shall act in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner to mitigate Damages they may pay, incur, suffer or sustain hereunder for which indemnification is available hereunder.

Section 11.06. Environmental Procedures. Freeport shall not be liable under this Agreement for, and none of Buyer or the other Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be indemnified for, any Damages relating to (x) Environmental Matters or (y) Specified Matters to the extent arising under or relating to Environmental Laws or Hazardous Substances, in the case of each of (x) and (y) to the extent such Damages: (i) arise out of any sampling, testing or other invasive investigation of the air, soil, soil gas, surface water, groundwater, building materials or other environmental media, or any disclosure, report or communication relating to any Environmental Matter to any Governmental Authority or other third party, unless such sampling, testing, investigation, disclosure, report or communication is (A) required by Applicable Law, (B) necessary to respond to any Third Party Claim against any of Buyer or its Affiliates or (C) otherwise necessary for, and consistent with, the ordinary course of the operation of the Business and not for the purpose of seeking indemnification pursuant to this Article 11; or (ii) exceed those Damages that must be incurred to satisfy, in a reasonably cost-effective manner, the minimum requirements of a Governmental Authority pursuant to applicable Environmental Law using acceptable risk-based approaches, engineering, use or institutional controls or deed or other restrictions acceptable for similar assets, provided that such risk based approaches, engineering control, or deeds or other restrictions do not unreasonably interfere with the current operation of the Business or, to the extent substantially similar to the current operation of the Business, the future operation of the Business.

Section 11.07. Assignment of Claims. If the Indemnified Party receives any payment from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Damages pursuant to Section 11.02 and the Indemnified Party could have recovered all or a part of such

Damages from a third party (a “Potential Contributor”) based on the underlying claim asserted against the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall assign such of its rights to proceed against the Potential Contributor as are necessary to permit the Indemnifying Party to recover from the Potential Contributor the amount of such payment; provided that the Indemnified Party shall not be required to assign any right to proceed against a Potential Contributor if the Indemnified Party determines in its reasonable discretion that such assignment would be materially detrimental to its reputation, future business prospects or existing business.

Section 11.08. Exclusivity. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement and except in the case of fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation with respect to the representations and warranties in this Agreement, effective as of the Closing, Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, waives any rights and claims Buyer or its Affiliates may have against Freeport or its Affiliates, whether in law or in equity, relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Subject Shares or the transactions contemplated hereby, including claims for contribution or other rights of recovery arising out of or relating to any Environmental Law (whether now or hereinafter in effect), claims for breach of contract, breach of representation or warranty, negligent misrepresentation and all other claims for breach of duty. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement and except in the case of fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation with respect to the representations and warranties in this Agreement, after the Closing, Section 11.02 will provide the exclusive remedy for any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, covenant or other agreement or other claim arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, other than with respect to claims for equitable relief pursuant to Section 13.16.

Section 11.09. Adjustment to the Purchase Price. Any amount paid by Freeport or Buyer under this Article 11 will be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

for any reason whatsoever on any such payment or performance obligations, then Seller Guarantor shall unconditionally perform or cause to be performed and satisfy or cause to be satisfied the performance or payment obligations immediately upon notice from Buyer specifying the default so that the same benefits shall be conferred on Buyer as would have been received if such performance or payment obligations had been duly performed and satisfied by Freeport.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Seller Guarantor waives (1) any and all legal and equitable defenses available to a guarantor (other than payment in full by Freeport) and (2) promptness, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest, order and any notices hereunder, including any notice of any amendment of this Agreement or waiver or other similar action granted pursuant to this Agreement and any notice of acceptance. The guarantee set forth in this Section 13.14 shall be deemed a continuing guarantee and shall remain in full force and effect until the satisfaction in full of all payment and performance obligations of Freeport hereunder, notwithstanding the winding-up, liquidation, dissolution, merger or other incapacity or other restructuring of Freeport or any change in the status, control or ownership of Freeport. The guarantee set forth in this Section 13.14 is a primary guarantee of payment and not just of collection.

Freeport shall not be required to initiate legal proceedings against Buyer or any other Person prior to or contemporaneously with proceeding against Buyer Guarantor. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Buyer Guarantor waives (i) any and all legal and equitable defenses available to a guarantor (other than payment in full by Buyer) and (ii) promptness, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest, order and any notices hereunder, including any notice of any amendment of this Agreement or waiver or other similar action granted pursuant to this Agreement and any notice of acceptance. The guarantee set forth in this Section 13.15 shall be deemed a continuing guarantee and shall remain in full force and effect until the satisfaction in full of all payment and performance obligations of Buyer

hereunder, notwithstanding the winding-up, liquidation, dissolution, merger or other incapacity or other restructuring of Buyer or any change in the status, control or ownership of Buyer. The guarantee set forth in this Section 13.15 is a primary guarantee of payment and not just of collection.

Section 13.16. Specific Performance.
