Exhibit 10.ii.kk

Houston Property

Shared Service and Access Agreement

This Shared Service and Access Agreement (“Agreement”), effective October 22,
2004 (“Effective Date”), is made between Cargill, Incorporated (“Cargill”)
acting through its Grain and Oilseeds Supply Chain North America business unit
(“GOSCNA”) and GNS III (U.S.) LLC (“Holding Company”); and

WHEREAS, Cargill owns real property located at 16150 Peninsula Blvd., Houston,
Texas as shown on Exhibit A (the “Houston Property”) on which both its Crop
Nutrition business unit and GOSCNA conduct their respective fertilizer and grain
businesses;

WHEREAS, contemporaneously herewith, Cargill and IMC Global, Inc. (“IMC”)
consummated a transaction in which (i) Cargill contributed all of the assets and
liabilities comprising the Cargill Fertilizer Business (as defined in that
certain Contribution and Merger Agreement and Plan of Merger and Contribution
dated January 26, 2004 between Cargill and IMC) to The Mosaic Company, a
newly-formed, publicly-traded corporation (“Mosaic”) and (ii) IMC merged its
business into Mosaic (the “Transaction”);

WHEREAS, prior to and in anticipation of the Transaction, Cargill transferred
all of the assets and liabilities comprising its U.S. fertilizer distribution
business unit (“Crop Nutrition”) to Holding Company, a newly-formed,
wholly-owned subsidiary of Cargill;

WHEREAS, as part of Cargill’s transfer of assets to Holding Company, Cargill
surveyed and subdivided the Houston Property into two separate parcels as shown
on Exhibit A: (i) a parcel that generally contains all of the GOSCNA business
and assets (the “GOSCNA Parcel”) and (ii) a parcel that generally contains all
of the former Crop Nutrition business and assets (the “Holding Company Parcel”);
which Cargill subsequently transferred to Holding Company in anticipation of the
Transaction;

WHEREAS, in anticipation of Cargill’s contribution of Holding Company to Mosaic,
Cargill and Holding Company each desire, in connection with the Houston
Property, that they continue to provide certain services to each other, share
the use of certain equipment, and grant each other easements to access certain
portions of the Houston Property in a manner similar to that in effect prior to
the Transaction;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the parties agree to the following terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Easements. The following easements will be created and evidenced by separate
easement agreements attached hereto as Exhibit B to be executed by Cargill and
Holding Company:

(a) Front Entrance. Cargill will grant an easement for Holding Company over the
GOSCNA Parcel to use the front (north) entrance, located off of Peninsula Blvd.
for ingress and egress purposes to and from the Holding Company Parcel.

(b) Rear Entrance. Cargill will grant a restricted easement (as described in the
Easement Agreement) for Holding Company over the GOSCNA Parcel to use the rear
(east) entrance, located off of Peninsula Blvd. for ingress and egress purposes
to and from the Holding Company Parcel.

(c) Mooring Vessel Easement. Holding Company will grant an easement for Cargill
to access and utilize the portion of the Holding Company Parcel that borders the
waterfront along the retaining wall to the extent necessary to temporarily moor
vessels and provide vehicle access to service such vessels.

2. Shared Services/Facilities. The following services and facilities will be
shared as follows:

(a) Security.

(i) Current Coast Guard regulations require that Holding Company and GOSCNA have
separate security services. Accordingly, GOSCNA will continue to utilize its
contract with Securitas to provide security services to its parcel and Holding
Company will contract separately for security services for its parcel. The
security guard shack currently located at the front (north) entrance will be
moved (at GOSCNA’s expense) south to the point where the road forks and will be
used to provide security services leading to the GOSCNA Parcel only. Holding
Company will install its own security mechanism or guard shack at the entry to
the Holding Company Parcel on its separate access road.

(ii) Prior to the contribution of Crop Nutrition assets to Holding Company,
GOSCNA and Crop Nutrition had jointly applied for a $214,000 government grant
for security improvements to the Houston Property. The parties agree that
Holding Company will receive 18% and GOSCNA will receive 82% of any amounts
received as a result of that grant application.

(b) Crane/Unloading. Holding Company will provide loading/unloading crane
services to GOSCNA utilizing its crane to load/unload vessels at the rates and
pursuant to the terms described on Exhibit C.

(c) Vessel Berthing. GOSCNA and Holding Company acknowledge that Dock 2 belongs
to GOSCNA and Dock 3 belongs to Holding Company and that these docks cannot each
berth a vessel at the same time. Therefore, GOSCNA and Holding Company agree to
work together in the same good faith manner as the GOSCNA and Crop Nutrition
business units used prior to the Effective Date to receive all vessels in a
timely manner and to resolve any vessel priority issues or other conflicts or
disputes on a case by case basis. However with respect to these vessel issues,
the specific terms set forth on Exhibit C will govern.

 

-2-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d) Channel Dredging. GOSCNA and Holding Company will each be responsible for
dredging activities and expenses for the berths that are part of its own
respective parcel. However, because the channel leading to their respective
berths benefits both parties, GOSCNA and Holding Company agree to equally share
channel maintenance, repair and dredging expenses and other port charges and
fees.

3. Utilities.

(a) Phone and Computer Lines. Holding Company and GOSCNA each have and will
continue to have, maintain and pay for separate phone and computer lines for
their respective businesses.

(b) Server. Holding Company and GOSCNA each have separate servers. In the event
that the parties mutually agree that one party will make use of the others’
server, the terms of such arrangement will be confirmed in a separate transition
services agreement.

(c) Wastewater Treatment. Currently, Holding Company and GOSCNA share the use of
an existing wastewater treatment facility which is located on the GOSCNA Parcel.
Holding Company is constructing a new wastewater treatment facility located on
the Holding Company Parcel and it expects to discontinue its use of the existing
facility and begin utilizing its new facility by late October 2004. Thereafter,
GOSCNA will continue to utilize the existing facility until GOSCNA constructs a
new facility on the GOSCNA Parcel. Once GOSCNA’s new facility is operational,
the parties agree to sell the original facility and split the proceeds with
GOSCNA to receive 2/3 and Holding Company 1/3. GOSCNA and Holding Company will
equally share the maintenance, repair and expenses of the existing facility
until Holding Company switches to its new facility. After that time: (1) GOSCNA
will be responsible for all maintenance, repair and operating expenses of the
existing facility; (2) GOSCNA will be responsible for all maintenance, repair
and operating expenses of any new facility it constructs on the GOSCNA Parcel;
and (3) Holding Company will be responsible for all maintenance, repair and
operating expenses of its facility located on the Holding Company Parcel.

(d) Electricity. Currently, GOSCNA and Holding Company share a single electric
service for the entire Houston Property which is billed to GOSCNA, and Holding
Company reimburses GOSCNA for its portion of the electric service as measured by
a meter on the Holding Company Parcel. GOSCNA will continue to pay the Houston
Property electricity expenses and Holding Company will continue to reimburse
GOSCNA monthly for the electric service used by Holding Company and measured by
the Holding Company Parcel meter unless and until Holding Company installs its
own separate electric service and meter, at which point each party would be
responsible for its own electric service. GOSCNA will have the right to require
that Holding Company install its own separate electric service upon one hundred
eighty (180) days’ written notice.

(e) Water. Currently, GOSCNA and Holding Company share water service for the
fire loop and Holding Company offices, which is billed to GOSCNA, however
Holding Company does not reimburse GOSCNA for its water use because Holding

 

-3-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Company’s use is very minimal and there is no meter to measure its use. The
parties will initially continue this practice, however the parties agree to
discuss and explore alternative arrangements, including either Holding Company
reimbursing GOSCNA for a reasonable estimate of its water usage or Holding
Company installing a separate water service. GOSCNA will have the right to
require that Holding Company install its own separate water service upon one
hundred eighty (180) days’ written notice.

(f) Fire Loop. Currently, GOSCNA and Holding Company equally share a single fire
loop service and related maintenance, repair and operation expenses for the
entire Houston Property. The parties will continue to share this service and
such expenses in the same manner and GOSCNA agrees to permit Holding Company
access to the GOSCNA Parcel to use, maintain and repair the shut-off valve in
accordance with Section 6.

4. Roads and Railtracks.

(a) Roads. Holding Company and GOSCNA will share road maintenance and repair for
the shared roads and entrances as provided for by the easement agreements
referenced in Section 1 above. Each party will be solely responsible for road
maintenance and repair on roads located on its respective parcel that are not
subject to the easement agreements.

(b) Track.

(i) GOSCNA and Holding Company each have separate rail spurs or track that enter
their respective parcels from the main railroad line and each party will be
solely responsible for maintaining and repairing its respective spurs.

(ii) Each party may from time to time desire to store rail cars on tracks
located on the other party’s parcel. With respect to such rail car storage,
GOSCNA and Holding Company agree to work together in the same good faith manner
as the GOSCNA and Crop Nutrition business units used prior to the Effective Date
and agree to the terms set forth on Exhibit C with respect to rail car storage.

(iii) Currently rail car switching services off the mainline for both parties
are provided by the Port Terminal Rail Association (PTRA) and each party is
billed separately for those services. Switching services will continue to be
separately provided to both parties by the PTRA

5. Permits. The parties agree to cooperate and work together to facilitate the
modification of any permits that may need to be modified as a result of the
separation of the Houston Property, including the Facility Security Plan as
required under U.S. Coast Guard regulations.

6. Access for Repair & Maintenance. As a result of splitting the Houston
Property into two separate parcels, certain utilities and equipment that benefit
one party will cross over the other party’s parcel (for example overhead
electric lines or underground water pipes that benefit

 

-4-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Holding Company will cross over or under the GOSCNA Parcel). From time to time,
the party receiving the benefit of such utilities and equipment (the “Entering
Party”) may need to access the property of the other party (the “Host Party”) in
order to maintain, repair or replace such utilities or equipment located on Host
Party’s property (the “Property”) (the “Work”).

(a) Grant of Non-Exclusive License. Host Party grants to Entering Party the
limited right to enter the Property only to perform the Work.

(b) Wastes. Entering Party agrees that any samples, waste materials, soil
cuttings, hazardous wastes, hazardous substances, pollutants, contaminants or
free product (“Wastes”) which results from the Work will be the sole property of
Entering Party. Entering Party will handle, store, treat, transport, and dispose
of the Wastes in accordance with all applicable government requirements and at
Entering Party's expense. In no event will any Wastes be stored on Property for
more than ten days, or treated or disposed of at the Property.

(c) Conduct of Work. Entering Party will conduct its activities in a manner that
does not interfere with Host Party’s business activities at the Property and in
a manner that minimizes disturbance to the existing condition of the Property.
Any disturbance to the Property resulting from the Work will be repaired or
corrected promptly. At its expense, Entering Party will restore the Property to
its original condition and remove all equipment, tools or other property brought
onto the site in relation to the Work immediately after the Work is completed.

(d) Access to Premises. Access will be limited to Host Party’s normal business
hours at the Property during which a Host Party manager is present and will not
interfere with Host Party’s operations at the Site. Entering Party will notify
Host Party’s local manager prior to accessing the Property for the purposes
stated herein. Although Host Party cannot generally prohibit Entering Party from
conducting Work on the Property, it may object to certain aspects of the
proposed Work (including the Work’s scope, timing, manner or duration) in which
case Entering Party and Host Party will work in good faith to reach a mutually
acceptable resolution.

(e) Compliance with Laws. Entering Party agrees that it, and its
representatives, employees, agents, licensees, invitees, and contractors will
present proper credentials when seeking access to the Property; will comply with
all applicable safety and environmental laws and regulations, including Host
Party’s safety requirements, when on or about the Property; and as a condition
of access to the Property will participate in Host Party’s review of its safety
requirements. Entering Party further agrees that Host Party may, at the sole
cost and risk of Entering Party, stop work for failure to comply with applicable
safety and environmental laws and regulations or Host Party’s safety
requirements.

(f) Risks and Obligations. Entering Party will conduct the Work at its sole risk
and expense and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances, codes
and orders. Entering Party will be responsible for and pay all charges made,
levied, or assessed by any third party in connection with the Work, including
without limitation any

 

-5-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

taxes, charges, licensing fees, and the like, levied against Entering Party or
Host Party.

(g) Indemnification. Entering Party will release, hold harmless, defend and
indemnify Host Party from and against all claims arising from or relating to the
Work or the Wastes, including but not limited to claims arising under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as
amended, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, and similar state
laws.

7. Term and Termination. The term of this Agreement will continue in effect so
long as the Houston Property is owned by more than one legal entity neither
party will have the right to terminate this Agreement during such period of time
unless the parties mutually agree to terminate. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any lease or easement described herein is not subject to this Section 6 and will
be governed by the terms of separate lease and easement agreements entered into
by the parties. Nothing in this Section 6 will limit the (i) right of either
party to temporarily suspend providing a service or paying for a service if the
other party is in breach of its obligations under this Agreement; or
(ii) ability of a court to order that an individual service or obligation be
permanently discontinued.

8. Payments; Audit and Disputes.

(a) The party obligated to provide a service or pay a utility described above
(collectively, a “Service”) may sometimes be referred to as “Responsible Party”
and the recipient of a Service hereunder may sometimes be referred to as
“Receiving Party”. This Agreement contemplates that unless otherwise agreed to
in writing, each Receiving Party shall promptly reimburse the Responsible Party
for any Service provided hereunder on a monthly basis upon ten (10) days of
receipt of an invoice or reimbursement request from a Responsible Party. Each
party will have the right, at its own cost and expense, at any time not later
than six (6) months after making any payment to such Responsible Party, upon
reasonable prior written notice to the Responsible Party, to request an audit to
be performed by outside auditors (who shall be reasonably acceptable to the
Responsible Party and who shall execute confidentiality agreements acceptable to
the Responsible Party) of the books and records of Responsible Party to the
extent they relate to such payment in order to verify the accuracy of any
invoice or payment requests submitted to a Receiving Party. The parties agree to
accept the determination of the outside auditors as final and binding. Any
amounts due and owing to a party as the result of such determination shall be
paid within thirty (30) days of receipt of the outside auditors’ report.

(b) If Receiving Party shall in good faith dispute any material item(s) on an
invoice/payment request, Receiving Party shall be entitled to withhold payment
of such disputed amount and shall provide a written explanation of the reason
the item is disputed to such Responsible Party. Upon receipt of any such notice,
the Responsible Party and Receiving Party will in good faith attempt to resolve
such dispute. In the event they are unable to resolve such dispute within thirty
(30) days of receipt of the notice, the matter shall be resolved through the
audit procedure set forth in Section 8.a. above or shall provide written notice
to the other party requesting that such dispute be submitted to the mediation
and arbitration procedures set forth in Section 15 of this Agreement.

 

-6-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c) To the extent Responsible Party has audit rights with respect to a Service
supplied by a third party supplier or utility, Responsible Party agrees to
reasonably cooperate with Receiving Party, at Receiving Party’s expense and
reasonable request, to exercise such audit rights with respect to costs paid by
Receiving Party in connection with such service. Should an outside audit of the
service or utility find that Responsible Party has overcharged for the Service,
Responsible Party shall be responsible for the fees of the outside auditor
retained by Receiving Party and, absent such determination, Receiving Party
shall be responsible for such auditor’s fees.

9. Cooperation. The parties will use good faith efforts to cooperate with each
other in all matters relating to the provision and receipt of a Service.
Receiving Party agrees to provide such facilities, information, books, records,
files, supplies, etc., as may be reasonably necessary for Responsible Party to
provide a Service contemplated hereunder and Receiving Party shall provide, from
time to time, timely decisions on such matters as required for the performance
of a Service by Responsible Party.

Confidential Information, Holding company shall give Cargill prompt notice of
such requirement so that an appropriate protective order or other relief may be
sought.

granting a license or other right to a party’s confidential information to the
other party, it being acknowledged that each party reserves all rights to its
respective confidential information.

Agreement.

Services and each Responsible Party shall provide the Services only in
accordance with applicable laws. Each party reserves the right to take all

weekly basis (initially on Friday) to discuss and establish vessel/barge
schedules for the upcoming seven day period for GOSCNA berth #2 and the Holding
Company berth (formerly Cargill #3). There will be no default berth priority at
berths #2 and #3. At that meeting, the parties will determine the schedule for
the next 7 day period. If conflicts arise because of scheduled non-performance
by the vessels or facilities, financial consequences/remedies will be discussed
and determined to offset the affected operations in a manner consistent with
Section 2(c) of this Agreement.

3. Demurrage, Dispatch & Shifting Charges

 

  •   For Fully Loaded GOSCNA Vessels (defined below), if Holding Company does
not meet the Discharge Guarantee (defined below) and GOSCNA is liable for

will reimburse GOSCNA for such charges. If Holding Company does meet its
Discharge Guarantee, then any demurrage or dispatch under the sales contract or
charter party will be for GOSCNA’s account.

 

  •   For Partially Loaded GOSCNA Vessels (defined below), the Discharge
Guarantee does not apply. Holding Company will be responsible for time lost and
