3. Position and Duties. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall serve as the Vice President, Administration and
Materials Procurement of the Company. In such capacity, the Executive shall have the duties, responsibilities and authorities customarily associated with the position of Vice President, Administration and Materials Procurement in a company the size
and nature of the Company. The Executive shall devote the Executive’s reasonable best efforts and full 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 on the corporate, civic

personal and family investments, in each case, to the extent such activities do not materially interfere with the performance of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder. 







 4. Place of Performance. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be based
primarily at the Company’s principal executive offices (currently located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) or such other Company location as reasonably required by the Executive’s duties to the Company. 

5. 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 $300,000 per calendar year, less
applicable deductions. The Base Salary shall be reviewed for increase by the Board no less frequently than annually and shall be increased in the discretion 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. 
 (i) 2010 Bonus. For the 2010 fiscal year, the
Executive shall be paid a cash performance bonus (the “2010 Bonus”) under the Company’s 2010 Cash Incentive Plan. The amount of Executive’s 2010 Bonus shall be determined in accordance with the Company’s 2010 Cash
Incentive Plan, including Schedule A thereto. 
 (ii) Regular Annual Bonus. Following the 2010 fiscal year, 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 Company’s Chief Executive Officer, no later than sixty (60) days after the commencement of the relevant bonus period. The Executive’s annual bonus opportunity
for the 2011 fiscal year shall equal 50% of the Executive’s annualized year-end Base Salary and shall be set by the Committee for each fiscal year thereafter (as applicable for a fiscal year, the “Target Bonus”), if target
levels of performance for that year are achieved. 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 when annual bonuses for that
year are paid to other senior executives of the Company generally, but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year to which such Annual Bonus relates.

conditions applicable to such restricted stock award shall be as set forth on in the award agreement attached as Exhibit A hereto. 
 (d) Equity Awards. In addition to any award provided to the Executive hereunder or under any other Company plan, commencing in fiscal year 2011 and each year thereafter during the Employment
Period, the Executive shall be eligible to receive a grant of an equity-based award (the “Annual Equity Award”) under the Company’s 2010 Management Equity Incentive Plan (or successor plan). 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.

 (e) Vacation; Benefits. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled
to paid vacation 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 the same perquisites the Executive was
entitled to receive prior to the Effective Date and shall be eligible to participate in such medical, dental and life insurance, retirement and other plans as the Company may have or establish from time to time on terms and conditions applicable to
other senior executives of the Company generally. The foregoing, however, 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. 

6. 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. 

7. 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 7(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 7(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 

  
 3 








 
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 7 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 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 7(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. 

  
 4 








 (ii) If the restrictions contained in Section 7(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 extensive in any other respect, Section 7(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 7, 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. 
 8. 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 the Company, its business, services, products or its affiliates or its 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, the Company agrees that it shall not, and that it 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).

establish or prove, and agree that the amounts payable to the Executive under Section 10(d) (the “Severance Payments”) 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 applicable benefit plan or compensation arrangement (including equity-related awards), such liquidated damages
shall be in lieu of all other claims that the Executive may make by reason of any such termination of his employment.

counterclaim or other right that the Company or the Company Affiliates may have against the Executive for any reason.

 11. 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.

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 and minimize the expense of such separate representation to the extent consistent with the Executive’s separate defense. This
Section 11 shall continue in effect after the termination of the Executive’s employment or the termination of this Agreement.

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. 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 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 (A) the
expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” of the Executive, and (B) 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 24(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, (A) 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, (B) any right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (C) 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. 

  
 12 









 (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. 
 25. Definitions.

unpaid Annual Bonus or 2010 Bonus, as applicable; (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 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 6. 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.

the Executive; or (iv) the Executive’s material breach of Sections 7(c) and 7(d). Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Executive shall not be terminated for “Cause” hereunder unless (A) written

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.

 THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of the Grant Date specified above, is entered into by and between Tronox Incorporated (the “Company”),
and the Participant specified above, pursuant to the Tronox Incorporated 2010 Management Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which is administered by the Committee; and 

WHEREAS, it has been determined under the Plan that it would be in the best interests of the Company to grant the shares of Restricted
Stock provided herein to the Participant. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises hereinafter set forth and for
other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby mutually covenant and agree as follows: 
 1.
Incorporation By Reference; Plan Document Receipt Certain Defined Terms. This Agreement is subject in all respects to the terms and provisions of the Plan (including, without limitation, any amendments thereto adopted at any time and
from time to time unless such amendments are expressly intended not to apply to the Award provided hereunder), all of which terms and provisions are made a part of and incorporated in this Agreement as if they were each expressly set forth herein.
Any capitalized term not defined in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as is ascribed thereto in the Plan. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a true copy of the Plan and that the Participant has read the Plan carefully and fully
understands its content. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control. 
 2. Grant of Restricted Stock Award. The Company hereby grants to the Participant, as of the Grant Date specified above, the number of shares of Restricted Stock specified above. Except as
otherwise provided by the Plan, the Participant agrees and understands that nothing 







 
contained in this Agreement provides, or is intended to provide, the Participant with any protection against potential future dilution of the Participant’s interest in the Company for any
reason and no adjustments shall be made for dividends in cash or other property, distributions or other rights in respect of any such shares, except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or this Agreement. Subject to Section 5
hereof, the Participant shall not have the rights of a stockholder in respect of the Shares underlying this Award until such Shares are delivered to the Participant in accordance with Section 4 hereof. 

3. Vesting. 
 (a) General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, the shares of Restricted Stock subject to this grant shall vest in twelve (12) pro-rata equal installments on the last day of
each calendar quarter during the three (3) year period following the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, provided that the Participant is then employed by the Company and/or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates on
each such vesting date. 
 (b) Certain Terminations. Fifty percent (50%) of all remaining
unvested shares of Restricted Stock shall immediately become vested upon (i) a Termination by the Participant for Good Reason [(as defined in the Participant’s employment agreement),]1 (ii) a Termination by the Company without Cause, or
(iii) a Termination due to the Participant’s death or Disability. 
 (c)
[Certain Terminations in Anticipation of a Change in Control. If, upon or within one hundred (100) days prior to the date of announcement by the Company of a transaction that would constitute a Change in Control, any of the following
shall occur: (i) a Termination by the Participant for Good Reason (as defined in the Participant’s employment agreement), (ii) a Termination by the Company without Cause, or (iii) a Termination due to the Participant’s death
or Disability, then one hundred percent (100%) of all remaining unvested shares of Restricted Stock shall immediately become vested as of such Termination, subject to and conditioned upon the consummation of the Change in Control transaction.]2

 (d) Change in Control. [One hundred percent (100%)]3
of all remaining unvested shares of Restricted Stock shall immediately become vested upon a Change in Control; provided the Participant is continuously employed by the
Company or its Subsidiaries through such date. [Any remaining unvested shares shall continue to vest on a pro-rata basis in accordance with Section 3(a) hereof, subject to Section 3(b) hereof.]4

 (e) Forfeiture. Subject to
Section 3(b), all unvested shares of Restricted Stock (determined after giving effect to any provision for accelerated vesting) shall be immediately forfeited upon the Participant’s Termination for any reason.

 4. Period of Restriction; Delivery of Unrestricted Shares. During the Period
of Restriction, the Restricted Stock shall bear a legend as described in Section 7.5.2 of the Plan. When shares of Restricted Stock awarded by this Agreement become vested, the Participant shall be entitled to receive unrestricted Shares and if
the Participant’s stock certificates contain legends restricting the transfer of such Shares, the Participant shall be entitled to receive new stock certificates free of such legends (except any legends (a) required by the Company’s
Stockholders’ Agreement in effect on the date hereof (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”) or (b) required for compliance with any applicable securities laws). 

5. Dividends and Other Distributions. The Participant shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions
paid with respect to such the shares of Restricted Stock, provided that any such dividends or other distributions will be subject to the same vesting requirements as the underlying Restricted Stock and shall be paid (or forfeited) at the time
the Restricted Stock becomes vested (or forfeited) pursuant to Section 3 hereof. If any dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, the Shares shall be deposited with the Company and shall be subject to the same restrictions on
transferability and forfeitability as the Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid. The Participant may exercise full voting rights with respect to the Restricted Stock granted hereunder. 

6. Conditions. As a condition to the receipt of this Restricted Stock award, the Company and the Participant acknowledge
and agree to be bound by the terms of the Stockholders’ Agreement, which is incorporated in, and made a part of, this Agreement. 
 7. Non-transferability. 
 (a) Restriction on Transfers. Except
as provided in Section 7(b) below, all shares of Restricted Stock, and any rights or interests therein, (i) shall not be sold, exchanged, transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of in any way at any time by the Participant (or any
beneficiary(ies) of the Participant), other than by testamentary disposition by the Participant or by the laws of descent and distribution, (ii) shall not be pledged or encumbered in any way at any time by the Participant (or any
beneficiary(ies) of the Participant) and (iii) shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar legal process. Any attempt to sell, exchange, pledge, transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of the shares of Restricted Stock, or
the levy of any execution, attachment or similar legal process upon the shares of Restricted Stock, contrary to the terms of this Agreement and/or the Plan, shall be null and void and without legal force or effect. 

(b) Permissible Transfers. During the Participant’s lifetime, the Participant may, with the consent of the Committee, transfer
without consideration all or any portion of the Restricted Stock to one or more members of his/her Immediate Family, to a trust established for the exclusive benefit of one or more members of his/her Immediate Family, to a partnership in which all
the partners are members of his/her Immediate Family, or to a limited liability company in which all the members are members of his/her Immediate Family. 
 8. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, together with the Plan contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and
supersedes all prior agreements or prior understandings, whether written or 

  
 19 









 
oral, between the parties relating to such subject matter. The Committee shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to modify or amend this Agreement from time to time in accordance with and
as provided in the Plan. This Agreement may also be modified or amended by a writing signed by both the Company and the Participant. The Company shall give written notice to the Participant of any such modification or amendment of this Agreement as
soon as practicable after the adoption thereof. 
 9. Acknowledgment of Participant. This award of Restricted
Stock does not entitle Participant to any benefit other than that granted under this Agreement. Any benefits granted under this Agreement are not part of the Participant’s ordinary salary, and shall not be considered as part of such salary in
the event of severance, redundancy or resignation. Participant understands and accepts that the benefits granted under this Agreement are entirely at the discretion of the Company and that the Company retains the right to amend or terminate this
Agreement and the Plan at any time, at its sole discretion and without notice. 
 10. Governing Law. This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. 
 11. Withholding of Tax. 
 (a) General. As a condition to the
distribution of Shares to the Participant, the Participant shall be required to pay in cash, or to make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company (including, without limitation, authorizing withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable
to the Participant), an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, provincial, state, local and foreign taxes of any kind (including, but not limited to, the Participant’s FICA and SDI obligations) which the Company, in its sole discretion,
deems necessary to comply with the Code and/or any other applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to the Restricted Stock. Unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to issue a
certificate or book-entry transfer for such Shares. 
 (b) Shares Not Publicly Traded. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in Section 11(a), in the event that either (i) the Shares are not listed for trading on an established securities exchange or (ii) are not freely tradeable, in each case, on the date the Participant is entitled to receive
unrestricted Shares hereunder, then the Company shall deduct or withhold Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the highest combined maximum rate imposed under all applicable federal, state, local and foreign tax laws or regulations (including,
but not limited to, the Participant’s FICA and SDI obligations). In connection with Section 11(b)(ii), the Participant and the Company agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions to permit the Shares to be freely
tradeable (e.g., implementing a 10b5-1 plan). 
 12. Section 83(b). If the Participant properly elects (as
required by Section 83(b) of the Code) within thirty (30) days after the issuance of the Restricted Stock to include in gross income for federal income tax purposes in the year of issuance the Fair Market Value of such shares of Restricted
Stock, the Participant shall pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to pay to the Company upon such election, any federal, state or local taxes required to be withheld with respect to the Restricted Stock. If the
Participant shall fail to 

  
 20 









 
make such payment, the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant any federal, state or local taxes of
any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the Restricted Stock, as well as the rights set forth in Section 11 hereof. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s sole responsibility, and not the Company’s,
to file timely and properly the election under Section 83(b) of the Code and any corresponding provisions of state tax laws if the Participant elects to make such election, and the Participant agrees to timely provide the Company with a copy of
any such election. 
 13. Acceptance. The Participant shall forfeit the Restricted Stock if the Participant does
not execute this Agreement within a period of sixty (60) days from the date that the Participant receives this Agreement (or such other period as the Committee shall provide). 

14. Securities Representations. The shares of Restricted Stock are being issued to the Participant and this Agreement is
being made by the Company in reliance upon the following express representations and warranties of the Participant. The Participant acknowledges, represents and warrants that: 
 (a) The Participant has been advised that the Participant may be an “affiliate” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and in this connection the Company is relying in part on
the Participant’s representations set forth in this Section 14. 
 (b) If the Participant is deemed an affiliate within
the meaning of Rule 144 of the Securities Act, the shares of Restricted Stock must be held indefinitely unless an exemption from any applicable resale restrictions is available or the Company files an additional registration statement (or a
“re-offer prospectus”) with regard to the shares of Restricted Stock and the Company is under no obligation to register the shares of Restricted Stock (or to file a “re-offer prospectus”). 

(c) If the Participant is deemed an affiliate within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Securities Act, the Participant understands that
(i) the exemption from registration under Rule 144 will not be available unless (A) a public trading market then exists for the Shares of the Company, (B) adequate information concerning the Company is then available to the public,
and (C) other terms and conditions of Rule 144 or any exemption therefrom are complied with, and (ii) any sale of the shares of vested Restricted Stock hereunder may be made only in limited amounts in accordance with the terms and
conditions of Rule 144 or any exemption therefrom. 
 15. No Right to Employment. Any questions as to whether and
when there has been a termination of such employment and the cause of such termination shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. Nothing in this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to
terminate the Participant’s employment or service at any time, for any reason and with or without cause. 
 16.
Notices. Any notice which may be required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be delivered in person or via facsimile transmission, overnight courier service or certified mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid, properly addressed as follows: 

  
 21 









 (a) If such notice is to the Company, to the attention of the General Counsel of the Company
or at such other address as the Company, by notice to the Participant, shall designate in writing from time to time. 
 (b) If
such notice is to the Participant, at his/her address as shown on the Company’s records, or at such other address as the Participant, by notice to the Company, shall designate in writing from time to time. 

17. Compliance with Laws. The issuance of the Restricted Stock or unrestricted Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall be
subject to, and shall comply with, any applicable requirements of any foreign and U.S. federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, the provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and in each case
any respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) and any other law or regulation applicable thereto. The Company shall not be obligated to issue the Restricted Stock or any of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement if any such issuance
would violate any such requirements. 
 18. Binding Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of, be binding upon, and be enforceable by the Company and its successors and assigns. The Participant shall not assign (except as provided by Section 7 hereof) any part of this Agreement without the prior express written consent of the
Company. 
 19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
 20. Headings. The
titles and headings of the various sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement. 
 21. Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall do and perform (or shall cause to be done and performed) all such further acts and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements,
certificates, instruments and documents as either party hereto reasonably may request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the Plan and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereunder.

 22. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions of this Agreement in any jurisdiction

rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 EXHIBIT B 
 GENERAL RELEASE 

I,                     , in consideration of and
subject to the performance by Tronox Incorporated (together with its parent companies and subsidiaries, the “Company”), of its obligations under Section 10 of the Employment Agreement, dated as of [•] (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 10 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 10 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 

  
 24 









 
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.

 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 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 22, 23, and 24 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.
