 Exhibit 10.15 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
(“Agreement”) is entered into as of this 19th day of April, 2012, by and between Tronox LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and Thomas J. Casey, an individual (the
“Executive”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to enter into this Agreement to set out the
terms and conditions for the continued employment relationship of the Executive with the Company. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

1. Term. The Company agrees to employ the Executive pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and the Executive agrees to be so
employed, for a term of three (3) years (the “Initial Term”) commencing as of October 5, 2011 (the “Effective Date”). On each anniversary of the Effective Date following the Initial Term, the term of this
Agreement shall be automatically extended for successive one-year periods, provided, however, that either party hereto may elect not to extend this Agreement by giving written notice to the other party at least one hundred and eighty
(180) days prior to any such anniversary date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive’s employment hereunder may be earlier terminated in accordance with Section 8 hereof, subject to Section 9 hereof. Terms
used herein with initial capitalization not otherwise defined are defined in Section 24. The period of time between the Effective Date and the termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder shall be referred to as the
“Employment Period.” 
 2. Position and Duties. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall serve
as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Tronox Incorporated and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and in the event of any corporate transaction or reorganization, the Chairman of the Board of Directors to any successor to substantially all of
the assets and businesses of Tronox Incorporated and Chief Executive Officer of any successor to substantially all of the assets and businesses of the Company in accordance with Section 14 of this Agreement. In such capacity, the
Executive shall have the duties, responsibilities and authorities customarily associated with the position of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in a company the size and nature of Tronox Incorporated and the Company, respectively. The Executive
shall devote the Executive’s reasonable best efforts and substantially all of the Executive’s business time to the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder and the advancement of the business and affairs of the Company and
shall be subject to, and shall comply in all material respects with, the policies of the Company and the Company Affiliates applicable to the Executive; provided that the Executive shall be entitled (i) to serve as a member of the board
of directors of a reasonable number of other companies, subject to the advance approval of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) to serve on civic,
charitable, educational, religious, public interest or public service boards, and (iii) to manage the Executive’s personal and family investments, in each case, to the extent such activities do not materially interfere, as determined by
the Board in good faith, with the performance of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder. 







 3. Place of Performance. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be based
primarily at the Company’s principal executive offices; provided that the Executive understands and agrees that the Executive may be required to travel from time to time for business purposes. 

4. Compensation and Benefits; Equity Awards. 
 (a) Base Salary. During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay to the Executive a base salary (the “Base Salary”) at the rate of no less than $1,000,000 per calendar year,
less applicable deductions. The Base Salary shall be reviewed for increase (but not decrease) by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) no less frequently than annually and shall be increased in the discretion of
the Committee after discussion with the independent members of the Board and any such adjusted Base Salary shall constitute the “Base Salary” for purposes of this Agreement. The Base Salary shall be paid in substantially equal installments
in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll procedures. 
 (b) Annual Bonus. During the Employment Period, the
Executive shall be paid an annual cash performance bonus (an “Annual Bonus”) under the Company’s annual bonus plan (as in effect from time to time for senior executives) in respect of each fiscal year that ends during the
Employment Period, to the extent earned based on performance against performance criteria. The performance criteria for any particular fiscal year shall be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”), in
good faith, after consultation with the other independent members of the Board, no later than sixty (60) days after the commencement of the relevant bonus period. The Executive’s target annual bonus opportunity shall be no less than 150%
of the Executive’s Base Salary as of the beginning of the applicable performance period (the “Target Bonus”) if target levels of performance for that year are achieved, up to a maximum of 300% of the Target Bonus.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the Company’s 2011 fiscal year, the Executive shall be eligible to receive a pro rata Annual Bonus based upon the Company’s achievement of the performance goals established for the other senior executives
of the Company for the 2011 fiscal year (determined by multiplying the amount of such bonus which would be due for the full fiscal year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the fiscal year that the Executive is employed
by the Company and the denominator of which is 365). The Executive’s Annual Bonus for a bonus period shall be determined by the Committee after the end of the applicable bonus period and shall be paid to the Executive in the year following the
year to which such Annual Bonus relates when annual bonuses for that year are paid to other senior executives of the Company generally. 
 (c) Signing Bonus. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company has paid him $2,000,000 in a cash lump sum (the “Signing Bonus”). In the event the Company terminates the
Executive’s employment for Cause or the Executive terminates employment without Good Reason, in each case, prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date, the Executive shall repay a pro rata portion of the Signing Bonus to the
Company (on a net after-tax basis) immediately upon the date of such termination (determined by multiplying the amount of the Signing Bonus by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the first year of the Employment Period
that the Executive is employed by the Company and the denominator of which is 365). 

  
 2 








 (d) Sign-On Equity Award. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that he has been
granted 50,000 shares of restricted stock (the “Sign-On Equity Award”) under the Company’s 2010 Management Equity Incentive Plan (or successor plan) (the “Equity Incentive Plan”). The terms and conditions
applicable to the Sign-On Equity Award shall be as set forth on the terms attached as Exhibit A hereto. Notwithstanding anything set forth in any plan document or award agreement to the contrary, the Sign-On Equity Award shall become fully
vested upon a termination of employment by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, in each case, within the twelve (12) month period following a Qualified Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a
“Qualified Change in Control” shall mean a Change in Control (as defined under the Equity Incentive Plan) other than a Change in Control occurring as a result of the acquisition of less than fifty percent (50%) of Tronox, Inc.,
the Company or their respective successors or assigns (as applicable) by, individually or collectively, Exxaro Resources Limited, Exxaro Holdings Sands (Proprietary) Limited, Exxaro International BV or their respective affiliates. 

(e) Initial Equity Award. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that he has been granted 26,930 shares of restricted stock under
the Equity Incentive Plan (the “Initial Equity Award”). The terms and conditions applicable to the Initial Equity Award shall be as set forth on the terms attached as Exhibit B hereto. Notwithstanding anything set forth in
any plan document or award agreement to the contrary, the Initial Equity Award shall become fully vested upon a termination of employment by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, in each case, within the twelve
(12) month period following a Qualified Change in Control. 
 (f) Equity Awards. In each year of the Employment
Period, the Executive shall be granted a number of shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units (or, to the extent the Equity Incentive Plan restricts the grant of restricted stock units, another form of equity award with an equivalent grant
date fair value) under the Equity Incentive Plan with a value equal to not less than $3,000,000, with such number of shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units (or equivalent award) to be calculated based upon the volume-weighted average
price of the Company’s stock over the thirty (30)-day period preceding the date of grant (the “Annual Equity Award”). For each fiscal year commencing during the Employment Period, the Company shall grant the Annual Equity Award
on the applicable anniversary of the Effective Date (or the closest business day thereafter if such anniversary is a weekend). The terms and conditions applicable to any Annual Equity Award shall be determined by the Committee in accordance with the
Company’s applicable long-term incentive plan. 
 (g) Vacation; Benefits. During the Employment Period, the
Executive shall be entitled to five (5) weeks of paid vacation per calendar year (as prorated for partial years) in accordance with the applicable policies of the Company, which shall be accrued and used in accordance with such policies. During
the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in any employee benefit plan that the Company has adopted or may adopt, maintain or contribute to for the benefit of its employees generally, subject to satisfying the applicable
eligibility requirements, except to the extent such plans are duplicative of the benefits otherwise provided to hereunder. The Executive’s participation will be subject to the terms of the applicable plan documents and generally applicable
Company policies. The foregoing, however, 

  
 3 








 
shall not be construed to require the Company to establish any such plans or to prevent the modification or termination of such plans once established. 

(h) Legal Fees. Upon presentation of appropriate documentation, the Company shall pay the Executive’s reasonable counsel fees
incurred in connection with the negotiation and documentation of this Agreement, up to a maximum of $50,000, which shall be paid within thirty (30) days following the date of this Agreement. 

5. Expenses. The Company shall reimburse the Executive promptly for all expenses reasonably incurred by the Executive in the
performance of his duties in accordance with policies which may be adopted from time to time by the Company following presentation by the Executive of an itemized account, including reasonable substantiation, of such expenses. 

6. Confidentiality, Non-Disclosure and Non-Competition Agreement. The Company and the Executive acknowledge and agree that during
the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive will have access to and may assist in developing Confidential Information and will occupy a position of trust and confidence with respect to the affairs and business of the Company and
the Company Affiliates. The Executive agrees that the following obligations are necessary to preserve the confidential and proprietary nature of Confidential Information and to protect the Company and the Company Affiliates against harmful
solicitation of employees and customers, harmful competition and other actions by the Executive that would result in serious adverse consequences for the Company and the Company Affiliates: 

(a) Non-Disclosure. During and after the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive will not knowingly use,
disclose, copy or transfer any Confidential Information other than as authorized in writing by the Company or within the scope of the Executive’s duties with the Company as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Executive. Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 6(a) shall not apply (i) when disclosure is required by law or by any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative or legislative body (including any committee
thereof) with actual or apparent jurisdiction to order the Executive to disclose or make accessible any information, provided that prior to any such disclosure the Executive shall provide the Company with reasonable notice of the requirements
to disclose and an opportunity to object to such disclosure and the Executive shall cooperate with the Company in filing such objection; or (ii) as to information that becomes generally known to the public or within the relevant trade or
industry other than due to the Executive’s violation of this Section 6(a). 
 (b) Materials. The
Executive will use Confidential Information only for normal and customary use in the Company’s business, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Company. The Executive will return to the Company all Confidential Information and copies
thereof and all other property of the Company or any Company Affiliate at any time upon the request of the Company and in any event promptly after termination of Executive’s employment. The Executive agrees to identify and return to the Company
any copies of any Confidential Information after the Executive ceases to be employed by the Company. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing in this Section 6 shall prevent the Executive from retaining a home computer (provided
all Confidential Information has been removed), papers and other materials of a personal nature, including diaries, calendars and Rolodexes, information 

  
 4 








 
relating to his compensation or relating to reimbursement of expenses, information that may be needed for tax purposes, and copies of plans, programs and agreements relating to his employment.

 (c) No Solicitation or Hiring of Employees. During the Non-Compete Period, the Executive shall not solicit, entice,
persuade or induce any individual who is employed by the Company or the Company Affiliates (or who was so employed within six (6) months prior to the Executive’s action) to terminate or refrain from continuing such employment or to become
employed by or enter into contractual relations with any other individual or entity other than the Company or the Company Affiliates, and the Executive shall not hire, directly or indirectly, for himself or any other person, as an employee,
consultant or otherwise, any such person. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company agrees that (i) the Executive’s responding to an unsolicited request from any former employee of the Company for advice on employment matters;
and (ii) the Executive’s responding to an unsolicited request for an employment reference regarding any former employee of the Company from such former employee, or from a third party, by providing a reference setting forth his personal
views about such former employee, shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 6(c); in each case, to the extent the Executive does not encourage the former employee to become employed by a company or business that employs the
Executive or with which the Executive is otherwise associated (including, but not limited to, association as a sole proprietor, owner, employer, partner, principal, investor, joint venturer, shareholder, associate, employee, member, consultant,
contractor, director or otherwise). 
 (d) Non-Competition. 

(i) During the Non-Compete Period, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, (A) solicit, service, or assist any other
individual, person, firm or other entity in soliciting or servicing any Customer for the purpose of providing and/or selling any products that are provided and/or sold by the Company or its subsidiaries, or performing any services that are performed
by the Company or its subsidiaries, (B) interfere with or damage (or attempt to interfere with or damage) any relationship and/or agreement between the Company or its subsidiaries and any Customer or (C) associate (including, but not
limited to, association as a sole proprietor, owner, employer, partner, principal, investor, joint venturer, shareholder, associate, employee, member, consultant, contractor, director or otherwise) with any Competitive Enterprise; provided,
however, that Executive may own, as a passive investor, securities of any such entity that has outstanding publicly traded securities so long as his direct holdings in any such entity shall not in the aggregate constitute more than one
percent (1%) of the voting power of such entity. The Executive acknowledges that this covenant has a unique, very substantial and immeasurable value to the Company, that the Executive has sufficient assets and skills to provide a livelihood for
the Executive while such covenant remains in force and that, as a result of the foregoing, in the event that the Executive breaches such covenant, monetary damages would be an insufficient remedy for the Company and equitable enforcement of the
covenant would be proper. 
 (ii) If the restrictions contained in Section 6(d)(i) shall be determined by any court
of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of their extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of their being too 

  
 5 








 
extensive in any other respect, Section 6(d)(i) shall be modified to be effective for the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable and over the maximum geographical area
as to which it may be enforceable and to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable. 
 (e)
Conflicting Obligations and Rights. The Executive agrees to inform the Company of any apparent conflicts between the Executive’s work for the Company and any obligations the Executive may have to preserve the confidentiality of
another’s proprietary information or related materials before using the same on the Company’s behalf. The Company shall receive such disclosures in confidence and consistent with the objectives of avoiding any conflict of obligations and
rights or the appearance of any conflict of interest. 
 (f) Enforcement. The Executive acknowledges that in the event of
any breach of this Section 6, the business interests of the Company and the Company Affiliates will be irreparably injured, the full extent of the damages to the Company and the Company Affiliates will be impossible to ascertain,
monetary damages will not be an adequate remedy for the Company and the Company Affiliates, and the Company will be entitled to enforce this Agreement by a temporary, preliminary and/or permanent injunction or other equitable relief, without the
necessity of posting bond or security, which the Executive expressly waives. The Executive understands that the Company may waive some of the requirements expressed in this Agreement, but that such a waiver to be effective must be made in writing
and should not in any way be deemed a waiver of the Company’s right to enforce any other requirements or provisions of this Agreement. The Executive agrees that each of the Executive’s obligations specified in this Agreement is a separate
and independent covenant and that the unenforceability of any of them shall not preclude the enforcement of any other covenants in this Agreement. 
 7. Mutual Non-Disparagement. During the Employment Period and for the two year period following the Date of Termination, the Executive agrees not to make public statements or communications that
disparage Tronox, Inc., the Company their businesses, services, products or their affiliates or their current, former or future directors or executive officers (in their capacity as such), or with respect to any current or former director or
executive officer or shareholder of the Company or its affiliates (in their capacity as such). During the Employment Period and for the two year period following Date of Termination, Tronox, Inc. and the Company agree that neither shall, and that
each of them shall instruct its directors, executive officers and employees to not, make public statements or communications that disparage the Executive. The foregoing shall not be violated by truthful statements in response to legal process,
required governmental testimony or filings, or administrative or arbitral proceedings (including, without limitation, depositions in connection with such proceedings). 
 8. Termination of Employment. 
 (a) Permitted Terminations. The
Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated during the Employment Period under the following circumstances: 
 (i)
Death. The Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon the Executive’s death.

 (A) Disability. For Disability; or 
 (B) Cause. For Cause or without Cause. 
 (iii) By the Executive.
The Executive may terminate his employment for any reason or for no reason by giving thirty (30) days advance Notice of Termination to the Company (or in the event of a termination for Good Reason, the notice required Section 9(d)
hereof). 
 (b) Termination. Any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company or the Executive
(other than because of the Executive’s death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 11 hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of
Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, if any, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination
of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated. Termination of the Executive’s employment shall take effect on the Date of Termination. 
 (c) Effect of Termination. Upon any termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, and its subsidiaries, the Executive shall resign from, and shall be considered to have
simultaneously resigned from, all positions with the Company and all of its subsidiaries.

for the fiscal year in which the Executive’s termination occurs based on actual results for such year (determined by multiplying the amount of such bonus which would be due for the full fiscal year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of days during the fiscal year of termination that the Executive is employed by the Company and the denominator of which is 365) payable at the same time bonuses for such year are paid to other senior executives of the Company (the
“Pro-Rata Bonus”), (iii) a percentage of the Executive’s Sign On Equity Award shall vest, which percentage shall equal the greater of 25% and the percentage equal to the number of calendar months the Executive has been

under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), (B) the Executive’s (or in the event of the Executive’s death, his dependent’s) continued copayment of premiums at the same
level and cost to the Executive as if 

  
 7 








 
the Executive were an employee of the Company (excluding, for purposes of calculating cost, an employee’s ability to pay premiums with pre-tax dollars), and (C) the Executive’s (or
in the event of the Executive’s death, his dependent’s) continued compliance with the obligations in Sections 6 and 7 hereof, continued participation in the Company’s group health plan (to the extent permitted under

Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive under this Agreement. 
 (d) Termination by the Company without
Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason Prior to a Qualified Change in Control. If, during the Employment Period, prior to the occurrence of a Qualified Change in Control, the Company terminates the Executive’s employment other than for

applicable performance criteria for the amended performance period have been achieved as of the Date of Termination, and (ii) eighteen (18) months of COBRA Coverage. Except as set forth herein, the Company shall have no further obligation

Control, the Company terminates the Executive’s employment other than for Cause, death or Disability or if the Executive terminates his employment hereunder with Good Reason, (i) the Company shall pay or provide the Executive (or the

(g) Liquidated Damages. The parties acknowledge and agree that the damages that will result to the Executive for termination by
the Company of the Executive’s employment without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason shall be extremely difficult or impossible to establish or prove, and agree that the amounts payable to the Executive under Section 9(d)
shall constitute liquidated damages for any such termination. The Executive agrees that, except for such other payments and benefits to which the Executive may be entitled as expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement or any other

 9 








 (h) Certain Payment Delays. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
herein, to the extent that the payment of any amount described in Section 9(d) or 9(e) constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A (as defined in Section 23
hereof), any such payment scheduled to occur during the first sixty (60) days following the termination of employment shall not be paid until the first regularly scheduled pay period following the sixtieth (60th) day following such
termination and shall include payment of any amount that was otherwise scheduled to be paid prior thereto. 
 (i) No
Offset. In the event of termination of his employment, the Executive shall be under no obligation to seek other employment and there shall be no offset against amounts due to him on account of any remuneration or benefits provided by any
subsequent employment he may obtain. The Company’s obligation to make any payment pursuant to, and otherwise to perform its obligations under, this Agreement shall not be affected by any offset, counterclaim or other right that the Company or
the Company Affiliates may have against the Executive for any reason. 
 10. Indemnification. During the Employment
Period and thereafter, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold the Executive and the Executive’s heirs and representatives harmless, to the maximum extent permitted by law, against any and all damages, costs, liabilities, losses and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) as a result of any claim or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative), or any threatened claim or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative), against
the Executive that arises out of or relates to the Executive’s service as an officer, director or employee, as the case may be, of the Company, or the Executive’s service in any such capacity or similar capacity with a Company Affiliate or
other entity at the request of the Company, both prior to and after the Effective Date, and to promptly advance to the Executive or the Executive’s heirs or representatives such expenses upon written request with appropriate documentation of
such expense upon receipt of an undertaking by the Executive or on the Executive’s behalf to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the Executive is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. During the Employment
Period and thereafter, the Company also shall provide the Executive with coverage under its current directors’ and officers’ liability policy to the same extent that it provides such coverage to its other executive officers. If the
Executive has any knowledge of any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, as to which the Executive may request indemnity under this provision, the Executive will give the Company
prompt written notice thereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the Executive’s right to indemnification. The Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such proceeding and the Executive will use
reasonable efforts to cooperate with such defense. To the extent that the Executive in good faith determines that there is an actual or potential conflict of interest between the Company and the Executive in connection with the defense of a
proceeding, the Executive shall so notify the Company and shall be entitled to separate representation at the Company’s expense by counsel selected by the Executive (provided that the Company may reasonably object to the selection of counsel
within ten (10) business days after notification thereof) which counsel shall cooperate, and coordinate the defense, with the Company’s counsel 

  
 10 









 
and minimize the expense of such separate representation to the extent consistent with the Executive’s separate defense. This Section 10 shall continue in effect after the
termination of the Executive’s employment or the termination of this Agreement. 
 11. Notices. All notices,
demands, requests, or other communications which may be or are required to be given or made by any party to any other party pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be hand delivered, mailed by first-class registered or certified
mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, delivered by overnight air courier, or transmitted by facsimile transmission addressed as follows:

addressee (with the return receipt, the delivery receipt, confirmation of facsimile transmission or the affidavit of messenger being deemed conclusive but not exclusive evidence of such delivery) or at such time as delivery is refused by the
addressee upon presentation. 
 12. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more provisions of
this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 6, shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. 

13. Survival. It is the express intention and agreement of the parties hereto that the provisions of Sections 6, 7,
9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 22, and 23 hereof and this Section 13 shall survive the termination of employment of the Executive. In addition,
all obligations of the Company to make payments hereunder shall survive any termination of this Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein. 
 14. Assignment. The rights and obligations of the parties to this Agreement shall not be assignable or delegable, except that (i) in the event of the Executive’s death, the personal
representative or legatees or distributees of the Executive’s estate, as the case may be, shall have the right to receive any amount owing and unpaid to the Executive hereunder and (ii) the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder
shall be assignable and delegable in connection with any subsequent merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or equity interests of the Company or similar transaction involving the Company or a successor corporation.
Unless provided by applicable law, Tronox, Inc. and the Company shall require any 

  
 11 









 
successor to Tronox, Inc. or the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Tronox, Inc. and the Company would be required to
perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company and any successor to its business and/or assets and “Tronox, Inc.” shall mean Tronox, Inc. and any

assumption or assignment agreed upon in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement by and among Tronox Incorporated, Tronox Limited, Concordia Acquisition Corporation, Exxaro Resources Limited, Exxaro Holdings Sands

 16. Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement shall not be amended, altered or
modified except by an instrument in writing duly executed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. Neither the waiver by either of the parties hereto of a breach of or a default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure
of either of the parties, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder, shall thereafter be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or default of a similar
nature, or as a waiver of any such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder. 
 17. Headings. Section and subsection
headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only, shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement for any purpose, and shall not in any way define or affect the meaning, construction or scope of any of the
provisions hereof. 
 18. Governing Law. This Agreement, the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, and any claims
or disputes relating thereto, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (but not including any choice of law rule thereof that would cause the laws of another jurisdiction to apply). 

19. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties agrees that any dispute between the parties shall be resolved only in the courts of
the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and the appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals in such courts. In that context, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the parties
hereto irrevocably and unconditionally (a) submits in any proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Executive’s employment by the Company or any Company Affiliate, or for the recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect
thereof (a “Proceeding”), to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware, the court of the United States of America for the District of Delaware, and appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals from any of
the foregoing, and agrees that all claims in respect of any such Proceeding shall be heard and determined in such Delaware State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court,


  
 12 









 
(b) consents that any such Proceeding may and shall be brought in such courts and waives any objection that the Executive or the Company may now or thereafter have to the venue or jurisdiction of
any such Proceeding in any such court or that such Proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same, (c) waives all right to trial by jury in any Proceeding (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise)
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Executive’s employment by the Company or any Company Affiliate, or the Executive’s or the Company’s performance under, or the enforcement of, this Agreement, (d) agrees that
service of process in any such Proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy of such process by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such party at the Executive’s or the Company’s
address as provided in Section 11 hereof, and (e) agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware. 

20. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties respecting the employment of the
Executive, there being no representations, warranties or commitments except as set forth herein and supersedes and replaces all other agreements related to the subject matter hereof of, including, without limitation the offer letter agreement
between the Executive and the Company, dated October 3, 2011. 
 21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
two counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. 
 22. Withholding. The Company may withhold from any benefit payment under this Agreement all federal, state, city or other taxes as shall be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation
or ruling. 
 23. Section 409A. 
 (a) The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively
“Code Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. Specifically, if any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous, such that one
interpretation of the provision would comply with Code Section 409A and another interpretation would result in the imposition of the excise tax required by Code Section 409A, the parties intend that the correct interpretation is the one
that complies with Code Section 409A. If the Executive notifies the Company (with specificity as to the reason therefor) that the Executive believes that any provision of this Agreement (or of any award of compensation, including equity
compensation or benefits) would cause the Executive to incur any additional tax or interest under Code Section 409A and the Company concurs with such belief or the Company (without any obligation whatsoever to do so) independently makes such
determination, the Company shall, after consulting with the Executive, reform such provision to attempt to comply with Code Section 409A through good faith modifications to the minimum extent reasonably appropriate to conform with Code
Section 409A. To the extent that any provision hereof is modified in order to comply with Code Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent


  
 13 









 
reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to the Executive and the Company of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A.

 (b) A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement
providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such
provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” If the Executive is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified
employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is considered deferred compensation under Code Section 409A payable on account of a
“separation from service,” such payment or benefit shall be made or provided at the date which is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” of the
Executive, and (ii) the date of the Executive’s death, to the extent required under Code Section 409A. Upon the expiration of the foregoing delay period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 23(b)
(whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall
be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. 
 (c) To the extent that
reimbursements or other in-kind benefits under this Agreement constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A, (i) all expenses or other reimbursements hereunder shall be made on or prior to the
last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by the Executive, (ii) any right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and
(iii) no such reimbursement, expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided in any taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year.

 (d) For purposes of Code Section 409A, the Executive’s right to receive any installment payments pursuant to this
Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days, the actual date of payment within the specified
period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company. 
 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, in no event shall any payment under this Agreement that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A be subject to offset by any other amount unless otherwise permitted by Code
Section 409A. 
 24. Definitions. 
 (a) “Accrued Benefits” means (i) any unpaid Base Salary through the Date of Termination; (ii) any earned but unpaid Annual Bonus; (iii) any accrued and unpaid vacation
and/or sick days; (iv) any amounts or benefits owing to the Executive or to the Executive’s beneficiaries under the then applicable benefit plans of the Company (excluding any severance


  
 14 









 
plan, program, agreement or arrangement); and (v) any amounts owing to the Executive for reimbursement of expenses properly incurred by the Executive prior to the Date of Termination and
which are reimbursable in accordance with Section 5. Amounts payable under (A) clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall be paid promptly after the Date of Termination, (B) clause (iv) shall be paid in accordance with
the terms and conditions of the applicable plan, program or arrangement and (C) clause (v) shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the applicable expense policy. 

(b) “Cause” means (i) the Executive’s conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony; (ii) the

in which the Executive has substantially failed to perform the Executive’s material duties and specifies the manner in which the Executive may substantially perform his material duties in the future; (iii) an act of fraud or gross or
willful material misconduct by the Executive; or (iv) the Executive’s material breach of Section 6. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Executive shall not be terminated for “Cause” hereunder unless
(A) written notice stating the basis for the termination is provided to the Executive and (B) as to clauses (ii) or (iv) of this paragraph, he is given fifteen (15) days to cure the neglect or conduct that is the basis of
such claim, to the extent curable. 
 (c) “Company Affiliate” means any entity controlled by, in control of, or
under common control with, the Company. 
 (d) “Competitive Enterprise” means (i) a business enterprise
that engages in, or owns or controls a significant interest in any entity that engages in competition with the Company or its subsidiaries during the time the Executive was employed by the Company or its subsidiaries, and does business (the
“Company’s Business”) (a) in the United States of America, (b) any other country where the Company or its subsidiaries operates facilities or sells products, but only if the Executive had operational, financial
reporting, marketing or other responsibility or oversight for the facility or business in the respective country. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a business enterprise has one or more lines of business that do not involve the
Company’s Business, the Executive shall be permitted to associate with such business enterprise if, and only if, the Executive does not participate in, or have supervisory authority with respect to, any line of business involving the
Company’s Business. 
 (e) “Confidential Information” means all non-public information concerning trade
secrets, know-how, software, developments, inventions, processes, technology, designs, financial data, strategic business plans or any proprietary or confidential information, documents or materials in any form or media, including any of the
foregoing relating to research, operations, finances, current and proposed products and services, vendors, customers, advertising and marketing, and other non-public, proprietary, and confidential information of the Company or the Company
Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the general skills, knowledge and experience gained during the Executive’s employment with the Company, information publicly available or generally known within the industry
or trade in which the Company competes and information or knowledge possessed by the Executive prior to his employment by the Company, shall not be considered Confidential Information. 

  
 15 









 (f) “Customer” means any person, firm, corporation or other entity
whatsoever to whom the Company or its subsidiaries provided services or sold any products to within a twelve (12)-month period on, before or after the Executive’s Date of Termination. 

(g) “Date of Termination” means (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive’s death,
the date of the Executive’s death; (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated because of the Executive’s Disability pursuant to Section 8(a)(ii)(A), thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination, provided

Company pursuant to Section 8(a)(ii)(B) or by the Executive pursuant to Section 8(a)(iii), the date specified in the Notice of Termination; or (v) if the Executive’s employment is terminated upon the expiration of
the Employment Period pursuant to Section 1, the last day of the Employment Period.

 EXHIBIT B 
 Initial Equity Award to vest as follows: 
  

	 	•	 	 Thirty percent (30%) to vest in thirds on each of the first three (3) anniversaries of the Effective Date; and 



 

	 	•	 	 Seventy percent (70%) (the “Performance Shares”) will be subject to three (3)-year cliff performance vesting, with fifty percent
(50%) of the vesting of the Performance Shares tied to relative shareholder return and fifty percent (50%) of the vesting of the Performance Shares tied to return on invested capital as follows: 



 

	 	•	 	 The fifty percent (50%) of the Performance Shares vesting tied to relative shareholder return will vest in full if the Company’s Three-Year
Total Shareholder Return for the three (3)-year period beginning on October 1, 2011 and ending September 30, 2014 equals or exceeds, over the same three (3)-year period, the 50th percentile of the annualized Three-Year Total Shareholder Return of the Peer Group. For the avoidance of doubt, no
portion of the Performance Shares tied to relative shareholder return will vest if the Company’s Three-Year Total Shareholder Return is less than the 50th percentile of the annualized Three-Year Total Shareholder Return of the Peer Group. The “Peer Group”
shall be as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board from time to time. 


  

	 	•	 	 The fifty percent (50%) of the Performance Shares vesting tied to return on invested capital will vest in full if the Company’s Return on
Invested Capital over the three (3)-year period beginning October 1, 2011 and ending September 30, 2014 equals or exceeds, over the same three (3)-year period, one hundred percent (100%) of the Company’s annualized Weighted
Average Cost of Capital for that three (3)-year period. For the avoidance of doubt, no portion of the Performance Shares tied to return on invested capital will vest if the Company’s Return on Invested Capital over the applicable three (3)-year
period is less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Company’s annualized Weighted Average Cost of Capital for such period.

 EXHIBIT C 
 GENERAL RELEASE 
 I, Thomas J. Casey, in consideration of and subject to the
performance by Tronox LLC (together with its parent companies and subsidiaries, the “Company”), of its obligations under Section 9 of the Employment Agreement, dated as of April __, 2012 (the “Agreement”), do
hereby release and forever discharge as of the date hereof the Company and its respective affiliates and subsidiaries and all present, former and future directors, officers, agents, representatives, employees, successors and assigns of the Company
and/or its respective affiliates and subsidiaries and direct or indirect owners (collectively, the “Released Parties”) to the extent provided herein (this “General Release”). The Released Parties are intended
third-party beneficiaries of this General Release, and this General Release may be enforced by each of them in accordance with the terms hereof in respect of the rights granted to such Released Parties hereunder. Terms used herein but not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement. 
 1. I understand that, other than the Accrued Benefits, the
payments or benefits paid or granted to me under Section 9 of the Agreement represent, in part, consideration for signing this General Release and are not salary, wages or benefits to which I was already entitled. I understand and agree that I
will not receive the payments and benefits specified in Section 9 of the Agreement, other than the Accrued Benefits, unless I execute this General Release and do not revoke this General Release within the time period permitted hereafter or
breach this General Release. Such payments and benefits will not be considered compensation for purposes of any employee benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement maintained or hereafter established by the Company or its affiliates. 

2. Except as provided in paragraph 4 below and except for the provisions of the Agreement which expressly survive the termination of my
employment with the Company, I knowingly and voluntarily (for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns) release and forever discharge the Company and the other Released Parties from any and all claims, suits, controversies, actions,
causes of action, cross-claims, counter-claims, demands, debts, compensatory damages, liquidated damages, punitive or exemplary damages, other damages, claims for costs and attorneys’ fees, or liabilities of any nature whatsoever in law and in
equity, both past and present (through the date that this General Release becomes effective and enforceable) and whether known or unknown, suspected, or claimed against the Company and/or any of the Released Parties which I, my spouse, or any of my
heirs, executors, administrators or assigns, ever had, now have, or hereafter may have, by reason of any matter, cause, or thing whatsoever, from the beginning of my initial dealings with the Company to the date of this General Release, and
particularly, but without limitation of the foregoing general terms, any claims arising from or relating in any way to my employment relationship with Company, the terms and conditions of that employment relationship, and the termination of that
employment relationship (including, but not limited to, any allegation, claim or violation, arising under: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as
amended (including the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act); the Equal Pay Act of 1963, as amended; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; the Worker Adjustment Retraining and


  
 C-1









 
Notification Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; any applicable Executive Order Programs; the Fair Labor Standards Act; or their state or local counterparts; or under any
other federal, state or local civil or human rights law, or under any other local, state, or federal law, regulation or ordinance; or under any public policy, contract or tort, or under common law; or arising under any policies, practices or
procedures of the Company; or any claim for wrongful discharge, breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress, defamation; or any claim for costs, fees, or other expenses, including attorneys’ fees incurred in these matters) (all of the
foregoing collectively referred to herein as the “Claims”). I understand and intend that this General Release constitutes a general release of all claims and that no reference herein to a specific form of claim, statute or type of
relief is intended to limit the scope of this General Release. 
 3. I represent that I have made no assignment or transfer of
any right, claim, demand, cause of action, or other matter covered by paragraph 2 above. 
 4. I agree that this General Release
does not waive or release any rights or claims that I may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 which arise after the date I execute this General Release. I acknowledge and agree that my separation from employment with the
Company in compliance with the terms of the Agreement shall not serve as the basis for any claim or action (including, without limitation, any claim under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967). 

5. I agree that I hereby waive all rights to sue or obtain equitable, remedial or punitive relief from any or all Released Parties of any
kind whatsoever, including, without limitation, reinstatement, back pay, front pay, and any form of injunctive relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, I acknowledge that I am not waiving and am not being required to waive any right that cannot be
waived under law, including the right to file an administrative charge or participate in an administrative investigation or proceeding; provided, however, that I disclaim and waive any right to share or participate in any monetary award resulting
from the prosecution of such charge or investigation or proceeding. 
 6. In signing this General Release, I acknowledge and
intend that it shall be effective as a bar to each and every one of the Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. I expressly consent that this General Release shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and
provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected Claims (notwithstanding any state or local statute that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected and unanticipated Claims), if any, as well as
those relating to any other Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. I acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material term of this General Release and that without such waiver the Company would not have agreed to the terms of
the Agreement. I further agree that in the event that I should bring a Claim seeking damages against the Company, or in the event that I should seek to recover against the Company in any Claim brought by a governmental agency on my behalf, this
General Release shall serve as a complete defense to such Claims to the maximum extent permitted by law. I further agree that I am not aware of any pending claim, or of any facts that could give rise to a claim, of the type described in paragraph 2
as of the execution of this General Release. 

  
 C-2









 7. I agree that neither this General Release, nor the furnishing of the consideration for
this General Release, shall be deemed or construed at any time to be an admission by the Company, any Released Party or myself of any improper or unlawful conduct. 
 8. I agree that I will forfeit all amounts payable by the Company pursuant to the Agreement if I challenge the validity of this General Release. I also agree that if I violate this General Release by
suing the Company or the other Released Parties, I will pay all costs and expenses of defending against the suit incurred by the Released Parties, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and return all payments received by me pursuant to the
Agreement on or after the termination of my employment. 
 9. I agree that this General Release and the Agreement are
confidential and agree not to disclose any information regarding the terms of this General Release or the Agreement, except to my immediate family and any tax, legal or other counsel that I have consulted regarding the meaning or effect hereof or as
required by law, and I will instruct each of the foregoing not to disclose the same to anyone. 
 10. Any non-disclosure
provision in this General Release does not prohibit or restrict me (or my attorney) from responding to any inquiry about this General Release or its underlying facts and circumstances by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), or any other self-regulatory organization or governmental entity. 
 11. I hereby
acknowledge that Sections 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 21, 22, and 23 of the Agreement shall survive my execution of this
General Release. 
 12. I represent that I am not aware of any Claim by me, and I acknowledge that I may hereafter discover
Claims or facts in addition to or different than those which I now know or believe to exist with respect to the subject matter of the release set forth in paragraph 2 above and which, if known or suspected at the time of entering into this General
Release, may have materially affected this General Release and my decision to enter into it. 
 13. Notwithstanding anything in
this General Release to the contrary, this General Release shall not relinquish, diminish, or in any way affect any rights or claims arising out of any breach by the Company or by any Released Party of the Agreement after the date hereof.

 14. Whenever possible, each provision of this General Release shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and
valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this General Release is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not
affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this General Release shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. This General
Release constitutes the complete and entire agreement and understanding among the parties, and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements, commitments, understandings or arrangements, whether written or oral, between or among any of
the parties, in each case concerning the subject matter hereof.
