Exhibit 10.1

TRANSITION AGREEMENT

This TRANSITION AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into as of October 3, 2006,
by and between The Mosaic Company, a Delaware corporation (“Mosaic”), and
Fredric W. Corrigan (“Mr. Corrigan”), an individual residing in the State of
Minnesota.

WHEREAS, Mr. Corrigan has served as the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and
President of Mosaic since its inception as an operating company in October 2004,
and has been a member of the Board of Directors of Mosaic (the “Board”) since
inception;

WHEREAS, Mr. Corrigan has announced his intention to retire from Mosaic,
including from his officer positions with Mosaic upon the election by the Board
of Mr. Corrigan’s successor as CEO of Mosaic;

WHEREAS, the Board wants to provide for the smooth transition of the CEO
position post-retirement;

WHEREAS, the parties desire to set forth all matters regarding Mr. Corrigan’s
retirement as CEO, future resignation from the Board and his service as a
consultant to the new CEO; and

WHEREAS, the Board believes it is in the best interests of Mosaic’s stockholders
to enter into this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants herein, the
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Mr. Corrigan and Mosaic agree as
follows:

1. Retirement as CEO and President; Board Position. Effective on the earlier of:
(i) January 1, 2007, and (ii) the effective date on which his successor becomes
CEO, as elected by the Board (the “Retirement Date”), Mr. Corrigan shall retire
as Mosaic’s CEO and President, from all other officer positions he currently
holds with Mosaic and its subsidiaries and controlled affiliates and from all
director positions he holds with Mosaic’s subsidiaries and controlled
affiliates, but not from Mosaic’s Board (Mr. Corrigan’s retirement from which
shall be governed as set forth below). Mr. Corrigan shall continue in his
position as a member of the Board through the date of the annual meeting of
Mosaic stockholders, to be held in October of 2007 (the “2007 Annual Meeting”).
The date of the 2007 Annual Meeting is referred to herein as the “Departure
Date.”

2. Consulting Regarding Transition of CEO Duties. After the Retirement Date and
for a period not to continue beyond October 31, 2007 (the “Transition Period”),
Mr. Corrigan shall assist the new CEO in the transition of his duties as CEO in
a diligent and business-like manner, as and when reasonably requested by the new
CEO, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth below:

(a) Duration. Such assistance shall be as reasonably requested by Mosaic but not
anticipated to be more than 100 hours per month of consultations by
Mr. Corrigan, which may be performed from any location that is mutually
acceptable to Mr. Corrigan and the new CEO.

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

(b) Duties. Such assistance may include, but shall not be limited to, and, in
each case, at the request of Mosaic’s new CEO: (i) representing Mosaic with key
industry, civic and philanthropic constituents, (ii) assisting Mosaic’s new CEO
in maintaining and developing business relationships with key customers and
strategic partners, (iii) regularly meeting with the new CEO to review progress
toward the refinement and execution of Mosaic’s strategy, and (iv) assisting the
new CEO in the recognition and motivation of employees in pursuing Mosaic’s
strategy.

(c) Manner of Performance. During the Transition Period, Mr. Corrigan shall not
take any action that would be adverse to Mosaic’s business interests or that may
subject Mr. Corrigan, Mosaic or any of its affiliates to civil or criminal
liability. Mr. Corrigan agrees to comply in full with all applicable laws,
ethical standards, rules and regulations including, without limitation, with
Mosaic’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics during the Transition Period. As a
key consultant of Mosaic during the Transition Period, Mr. Corrigan represents
that he does not have any interest in any entity that would conflict in any
manner with the performance of services under this Agreement. Subject to the
restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement, including the non-disclosure
and non-compete covenants, Mr. Corrigan may engage in activities on his own
behalf or on behalf of entities other than Mosaic and its affiliates, and may
allocate his time between his obligations under this Agreement and such other
activities in any manner Mr. Corrigan deems appropriate, so long as
Mr. Corrigan’s obligations under this Agreement are satisfied. Mr. Corrigan will
have the sole right to supervise, manage, control and direct the performance of
the details incident to Mr. Corrigan’ duties described in this Agreement.

(d) Office Space and Technology Support. Mr. Corrigan shall not retain any
office space at Mosaic headquarters after the Retirement Date. During the
Transition Period, however, Mr. Corrigan shall be entitled to continue to work
with the administrative assistant currently assigned to the CEO to assist
Mr. Corrigan in the performance of his consulting duties. Mosaic shall make
available to Mr. Corrigan and to such assistant, to the extent necessary to
enable them to perform their services as contemplated hereunder during the
Transition Period, laptop computers and other required equipment (e.g.,
printers) and information technology support. Mr. Corrigan and such assistant
shall return the equipment to Mosaic upon completion of services under this
Agreement.

(e) Independent Contractor Status. During the Transition Period, Mosaic will
retain Mr. Corrigan in the capacity of an independent contractor and not as an
employee or agent of Mosaic or any of its affiliates. Mr. Corrigan shall not be
authorized at any time to execute any transaction on behalf of Mosaic or any of
its affiliates. Nothing in this Agreement shall create, or shall be construed as
creating, any form of partnership, joint venture, employer-employee
relationship, or other affiliation that would permit Mr. Corrigan to bind Mosaic
or any of its affiliates with respect to any matter or would cause Mosaic or any
of its affiliates to be liable for any action of Mr. Corrigan. Neither Mosaic
nor Mr. Corrigan will represent to any third party that Mr. Corrigan’s
engagement by Mosaic hereunder is in any capacity other than as an independent
contractor. Mosaic shall not be obligated to maintain any insurance for
Mr. Corrigan, including, but not limited to, medical, dental, life or disability
insurance. Except as

 

2

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

required by law and except with respect to the continued vesting of previously
granted equity awards (as described in Section 4(c)), Mr. Corrigan will no
longer participate in employee benefit plans or programs of Mosaic. To the
extent Mr. Corrigan employs others in providing services under this Agreement,
Mr. Corrigan agrees to comply with all applicable workers’ compensation laws.

3. Compensation Until the Retirement Date. Mr. Corrigan shall continue to
receive his current salary of $700,000 per year, his annual bonus payable in
connection with Mosaic’s financial performance for its fiscal year ending
May 31, 2007 (“Fiscal 2007”), as more fully described in Section 4, and other
compensation to which he is entitled in his current position with Mosaic to the
Retirement Date. Mr. Corrigan shall continue to receive the standard executive
officer benefits of Company-paid reimbursements for an annual physical and for
financial and tax planning for 2006, in accordance with Mosaic’s existing
executive physical program, and its existing financial and tax planning program
for executive officers (the “Financial Services and Tax Planning Program”). On
the Retirement Date, Mosaic shall pay to Mr. Corrigan, the unused remaining
balance of the $20,000 available to him under the Financial Services and Tax
Planning Program. On the Retirement Date, Mr. Corrigan shall also be compensated
for all earned but unused vacation for Fiscal 2007 consistent with Mosaic’s
vacation policies. On the Retirement Date, all compensation related to
Mr. Corrigan’s employment with Mosaic under all other agreements and
arrangements, including all perquisite programs, shall cease, and no further
compensation shall be due from or paid by Mosaic to Mr. Corrigan, except as
contemplated in this Agreement or as otherwise required by law.

4. Fiscal 2007 Incentive Compensation. The Compensation Committee of the Board
(the “Committee”) has previously authorized the participation of Mr. Corrigan in
Mosaic’s annual incentive plans (i.e., the Mosaic Incentive Plan (“MIP”) and the
Synergy Incentive Plan (“SIP”)) for Fiscal 2007, and has made an award to
Mr. Corrigan under Mosaic’s annual long-term incentive program for Fiscal 2007.
The Committee shall take the following actions and/or authorize certain
modifications to the terms of those awards as follows:

(a) Annual Bonus. Mr. Corrigan shall be paid a pro-rated portion of the bonus
that he would otherwise receive under the MIP and the SIP for the first two
fiscal quarters of Fiscal 2007, ending November 30, 2006, during which he is
expected to continue serving as CEO. Mr. Corrigan shall not defer any portion of
this bonus under Mosaic’s Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferral
Plan”). Such bonus payout would be made on or before January 5, 2007.

(b) Long-Term Incentives. The Committee has previously awarded to Mr. Corrigan
non-qualified stock options to acquire 835,018 shares of Mosaic’s common stock
(having an exercise price equal to the market price per share on the date of
grant) (collectively, the “Options”), and 271,209 restricted stock units
evidencing the right to receive one share per unit of Mosaic common stock
(collectively, the “RSUs”) under Mosaic’s Long-Term Incentive Program (“LTIP”),
in each case, subject to the standard terms and conditions of the Mosaic’s 2004
Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Stock Plan”) and applicable award
agreements for each such grant or award.

 

3

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

The Committee shall take such actions as are necessary to accelerate the vesting
in full, effective as of the Retirement Date, of all Options granted to
Mr. Corrigan in 2004 and 2005 that are outstanding and unvested on the
Retirement Date, and to recognize Mr. Corrigan’s retirement as an early
retirement with the consent of the Committee under the terms of the agreements
covering such outstanding Options held by Mr. Corrigan on the Retirement Date.
In addition, the Committee shall, effective with the Retirement Date, recognize
Mr. Corrigan’s retirement as a retirement with its consent under the terms of
the RSU award agreements entered into with Mr. Corrigan in 2004 and 2005, such
that all RSUs covered by such award agreements shall vest as of the Retirement
Date.

With respect to the Options awarded in 2006, such Options shall continue to vest
and become exercisable in accordance with the terms of the award agreement
covering such Options. With respect to the RSUs awarded in 2006, such RSUs shall
continue to vest in accordance with the terms of the award agreement covering
such RSUs.

A schedule detailing Mr. Corrigan’s Option and RSU grants after giving effect to
the Committee’s actions set forth in this Section 4(b) is set forth in Exhibit A
attached hereto. The schedule is for informational purposes only and does not
modify or supersede any of the terms of the agreements under which the grants
were made.

Except for Mr. Corrigan’s ongoing services as a non-employee director of Mosaic
as provided in Section 7 below, Mr. Corrigan will not receive additional grants
or awards under the LTIP.

5. Compensation as Consultant. In consideration for Mr. Corrigan’s services as a
consultant to his successor as CEO, Mosaic shall make the following payments to,
and distributions for the benefit of, Mr. Corrigan:

(a) Consultant Fees. During the Transition Period, Mosaic shall pay Mr. Corrigan
at the rate of $60,000 per month for services performed as a consultant, all of
which shall be payable on October 31, 2007.

(b) Consultant Bonus. Subject to Mr. Corrigan’s performance of consulting
services in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement through
the Departure Date, the Compensation Committee shall authorize Mr. Corrigan to
receive a one-time bonus, for the period between December 1, 2006 and
October 31, 2007, of $962,500, payable on October 31, 2007. Mr. Corrigan shall
not defer any portion of this bonus under the Deferral Plan. Mr. Corrigan will
not be eligible for any bonuses under the MIP or SIP during this period.

(c) Expenses. Mosaic shall reimburse Mr. Corrigan for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by him in connection with the performance of his
services during the Transition Period within thirty (30) days following his
delivery of an accounting of those expenses to Mosaic in accordance with
Mosaic’s then-current travel and business expense policy.

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

6. Continued Executive Benefits.

(a) Prior to Retirement Date. Until the Retirement Date, Mr. Corrigan shall be
eligible for such medical, disability, life insurance coverage, vacation, sick
leave, holiday benefits and any other benefits, in each case as are customarily
made available to Mosaic’s executive officers, all in accordance with Mosaic’s
benefits program in effect from time to time.

(b) After Retirement Date. After the Retirement Date, Mr. Corrigan shall not be
entitled to receive any benefits from Mosaic other than as required by law and
other than continued participation in Mosaic’s travel services program (i.e.,
the ability to use Mosaic’s travel services group to book airfare, hotel and car
rentals) (for which he will continue to have access to during the Transition
Period and will pay the same rates for services as all other eligible
participants are required to pay). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties
acknowledge and agree that Mr. Corrigan shall not continue to participate, after
the Retirement Date, in any of the following plans, in each case, as amended to
date: (i) the Omnibus Stock Plan, (ii) the Mosaic Investment Plan, and (iii) any
executive perquisite plan of Mosaic, other than the availability of the travel
services program described in the preceding sentence.

(c) Death or Disability. In the event that Mr. Corrigan dies prior to the
Retirement Date, his heirs, representatives or his estate shall be entitled to
the compensation and benefits described in Section 4(a) (using the actual days
for which he acted as CEO to determine the pro-rated portion described therein)
and Section 5(b); provided that an authorized representative enters into the
Release (as defined below) on behalf of such heirs, representatives or estate.
In the event that Mr. Corrigan becomes disabled to the degree that he cannot
perform his normal duties as CEO prior to the Retirement Date, then he shall be
entitled to the compensation and benefits described in Sections 4(a) (using the
actual days for which he acted as CEO to determine the pro-rated portion
described therein) and Section 5(b); provided that, he or his authorized
representative enters into the Release on his behalf.

7. Director Compensation. From and after the Retirement Date and for the period
through and including the Departure Date, Mr. Corrigan shall receive all
compensation to which any non-management member of the Board (other than the
non-executive Chairman of the Board) is entitled to receive for service as a
director. For the avoidance of doubt, this would include the following:

(a) Cash Retainer: A cash retainer of $75,000;

(b) Equity Compensation Award: An equity compensation award, made under the
Omnibus Stock Plan, of RSUs having a value on the date of grant of $65,000; and

(c) Deferral Plan: Eligibility to participate in the Deferral Plan for director
compensation (in which Mr. Corrigan is currently eligible to participate as an
executive officer of Mosaic).

8. Release and Termination of Severance Agreement. In consideration of the
promises, covenants and other valuable consideration provided by Mosaic in this
Agreement including, without limitation, Mosaic’s agreements to provide the
compensation set forth herein, Mr. Corrigan agrees that: (i) for him to be
entitled to receive the payments and other benefits described in this Agreement,
he will execute the release attached hereto as Exhibit B on the

 

5

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

Retirement Date (the “Release”), (ii) he will also execute the Release on the
Departure Date; and (iii) effective on the Retirement Date, that certain
Severance Agreement entered into between Mosaic and Mr. Corrigan, dated
September 12, 2005, shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

9. Non-Disclosure, Non-Solicitation, and Non-Competition Covenants. As an
inducement to Mosaic to enter into this Agreement, Mr. Corrigan agrees as
follows:

(a) Non-Disclosure. Mr. Corrigan acknowledges that he has received and will
continue to receive access to confidential and proprietary business information
or trade secrets (“Confidential Information”) about Mosaic, that this
information was obtained by Mosaic at great expense and is reasonably protected
by Mosaic from unauthorized disclosure, and that Mr. Corrigan’s possession of
this special knowledge is due solely to his employment with Mosaic. In
recognition of the foregoing, Mr. Corrigan will not, at any time during the
Transition Period or thereafter, disclose, use or otherwise make available to
any third party any Confidential Information relating to Mosaic’s business,
including its products, production methods, and development; manufacturing and
business methods and techniques; trade secrets, data, specifications,
developments, inventions, engineering and research activity; marketing and sales
strategies, information and techniques; long and short term plans; current and
prospective dealer, customer, vendor, supplier and distributor lists, contacts
and information; financial, personnel and information system information; and
any other information concerning the business of Mosaic which is not disclosed
to the general public or known in the industry, except for disclosure necessary
in the course of Mr. Corrigan’s duties. This obligation shall not apply to any
information which is in the public domain.

(b) Non-Solicitation.

(i) Mr. Corrigan specifically acknowledges that the Confidential Information
described in this Section 9 includes confidential data pertaining to current and
prospective customers and dealers of Mosaic, that such data is a valuable and
unique asset of Mosaic’s business and that the success or failure of Mosaic’s
specialized business is dependent in large part upon Mosaic’s ability to
establish and maintain close and continuing personal contacts and working
relationships with such customers and dealers and to develop proposals which are
specifically designed to meet the requirements of such customers and dealers.
Therefore, during the Transition Period and for the twelve (12) months following
the Retirement Date, Mr. Corrigan agrees that he will not, except on behalf of
Mosaic or with Mosaic’s express written consent, solicit, either directly or
indirectly, on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, any
customers or dealers with whom Mr. Corrigan had contact during the twenty-four
(24) months preceding the Retirement Date.

(ii) Mr. Corrigan specifically acknowledges that the Confidential Information
described in this Section 9 also includes confidential data pertaining to
current and prospective employees and agents of Mosaic, and Mr. Corrigan further
agrees that during Mr. Corrigan’s employment with Mosaic and for the twelve
(12) months following the Retirement Date, Mr. Corrigan will not directly or
indirectly solicit, on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person or
entity, the services of any person who is an employee or agent of Mosaic or
solicit any of Mosaic’s employees or agents to terminate their employment or
agency with Mosaic, except with Mosaic’s express written consent.

 

6

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

(iii) Mr. Corrigan specifically acknowledges that the Confidential Information
described in this Section 9 also includes confidential data pertaining to
current and prospective vendors and suppliers of Mosaic, and Mr. Corrigan agrees
that, during the Transition Period and for the twelve (12) months following the
Retirement Date, Mr. Corrigan will not directly or indirectly solicit, on his
own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, any vendor or supplier of
Mosaic for the purpose of either providing products or services to a business
competitive with that of Mosaic, as described in Section 9(c)(i), or terminating
or materially changing such vendor’s or supplier’s relationship or agency with
Mosaic.

(c) Non-Competition.

(i) Mr. Corrigan covenants and agrees that, during the Transition Period and for
the twelve (12) months following the Retirement Date, he will not, in any
geographic market in which Mr. Corrigan worked on behalf of Mosaic during the
twenty-four (24) months preceding the Retirement Date, engage in or carry on,
directly or indirectly, as an owner, employee, agent, associate, consultant or
in any other capacity, a business competitive with that conducted by Mosaic. A
“business competitive with that conducted by Mosaic” shall mean any business or
activity involved in the design, development, manufacture, sale, marketing,
production, distribution, or servicing of phosphate, potash or nitrogen
fertilizers, or other crop nutrition products, or any other significant business
in which Mosaic is engaged in or preparing to engage in as of the Retirement
Date. To “engage in or carry on” shall mean to have ownership in such business
(excluding ownership of up to 1% of the outstanding shares of a publicly-traded
company) or to consult, work in, direct or have responsibility for any area of
such business, including but not limited to the following areas: operations,
sales, marketing, manufacturing, procurement or sourcing, purchasing, customer
service, distribution, product planning, research, design or development.

(ii) During the Transition Period and for the twelve (12) months following the
Retirement Date, Mr. Corrigan certifies and agrees that he will notify the CEO
of his employment or other affiliation with any potentially competitive business
or entity prior to the commencement of such employment or affiliation.
Mr. Corrigan may make a written request to the Chairman of the Board for
modification of this non-competition covenant; the Chairman will determine, in
his sole discretion, if the requested modification will be harmful to Mosaic’s
business interests and will notify Mr. Corrigan in writing of the terms of any
permitted modification or of the rejection of the requested modification.

(d) The parties intend that each of the covenants contained in this Section 9
shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each state of the
United States and each county of each state of the United States. Except for
geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical in
terms to the covenant contained in the preceding subsections of this Section 9.
If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce any of the
separate covenants (or any part thereof) deemed included in those subsections,
then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be deemed eliminated from
this Agreement for the purpose of those proceedings to the extent necessary to
permit the remaining separate covenants

 

7

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

(or portions thereof) to be enforced. In the event that the provisions of this
Section 9 should ever be deemed to exceed the time or geographic limitations, or
the scope of this covenant, permitted by applicable law, then such provisions
shall be reformed to the maximum time or geographic limitations, as the case may
be, permitted by applicable laws. The unenforceability of any covenant in this
Section 9 shall not preclude the enforcement of any other of said covenants or
provisions or of any other obligation of Mr. Corrigan or Mosaic hereunder, and
the existence of any claim or cause of action of Mr. Corrigan or Mosaic against
the other, whether predicated on the Agreement or otherwise, shall not
constitute a defense to the enforcement by Mosaic of any of said covenants.

10. Company Remedies. Mr. Corrigan acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions
and agreements contained in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to
protect the legitimate interests of Mosaic, that the services to be rendered by
Mr. Corrigan as CEO of Mosaic and, during the Transition Period, as a consultant
to Mosaic, are of a special, unique and extraordinary character. To that end, in
the event of any breach by Mr. Corrigan in the performance of his obligations
under this Agreement, Mr. Corrigan agrees that Mosaic would be entitled to
injunctive relief, which entails that (i) it would be difficult to replace
Mr. Corrigan’s services; (ii) Mosaic would suffer irreparable harm that would
not be adequately compensated by monetary damages; and (iii) the remedy at law
for any breach of any of the provisions of Section 9 will be inadequate.
Mr. Corrigan further acknowledges that Mr. Corrigan has requested, or has had
the opportunity to request, that legal counsel review this Agreement, and having
exhausted such right, agrees to the terms herein without reservation.
Accordingly, Mr. Corrigan specifically agrees that Mosaic shall be entitled, in
addition to any remedy at law or in equity, to (i) suspend any and all payments
not yet paid to him under this Agreement in the event of any breach by him of
his covenants under Sections 9, 11 and/or 12 hereunder, and (ii) preliminary and
permanent injunctive relief and specific performance for any actual or
threatened violation of this Agreement. This provision with respect to
injunctive relief shall not, however, diminish the right to claim and recover
damages, or to seek and obtain any other relief available to it at law or in
equity, in addition to injunctive relief.

11. Return of Property. Concurrently with the Retirement Date, Mr. Corrigan
shall deliver to a designated Mosaic representative all records, documents,
hardware, software, and all other Mosaic property and all copies thereof in
Mr. Corrigan’s possession. Mr. Corrigan acknowledges and agrees that all such
materials are the sole property of Mosaic and will certify in writing to Mosaic
at the time of termination that Mr. Corrigan has complied with this obligation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mr. Corrigan shall be provided with company
provided computer equipment and information technology support in accordance
with Section 2(d) herein.

12. Non-Disparagement. Mr. Corrigan agrees that he will not, and will use his
reasonable efforts not to allow anyone acting on his behalf or at his direction
at any time to, criticize, defame or disparage Mosaic or the Released Parties
(as defined in Exhibit B hereto), their plans, or their actions to any third
party, either orally or in writing.

13. Mosaic’s Default in Payment. Should Mosaic default in timely payment on the
due date of any payment or amount due under this Agreement, Mr. Corrigan shall
give written notice of such default to the person specified in or pursuant to
this Agreement to receive notice on behalf of Mosaic. Mosaic shall have thirty
(30) days after the receipt of such a notice of default to cure any payment
default.

 

8

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

14. Breach of this Agreement. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines
that either party has breached or failed to perform any part of this Agreement,
the parties agree that the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive
relief to enforce this Agreement and that the breaching party shall be
responsible for paying the non-breaching party’s costs and attorneys’ fees
incurred in enforcing this Agreement.

15. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining
provisions shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect.

16. Ambiguities in this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement
has been drafted, prepared, negotiated and agreed to jointly, with advice of
each party’s respective counsel, and to the extent that any ambiguity should
appear, now or at any time in the future, latent or apparent, such ambiguity
shall not be resolved or construed against either party.

17. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing.
Any notice or other communication hereunder shall be deemed duly given if it is
sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid,
and addressed to the intended recipient at the addresses maintained in Mosaic’s
records. Notices sent to Mosaic should be directed to the attention of its
General Counsel.

Any party may send any notice or other communication hereunder to the intended
recipient at the address set forth using any other means (including personal
delivery, expedited courier, messenger services, facsimile, ordinary mail or
electronic mail), but no such notice or other communication shall be deemed to
have been duly given unless and until it is actually received by the intended
recipient. Any party may change the address to which notices and other
communications hereunder are to be delivered by giving the other Party notice in
the manner set forth herein.

18. Counterpart Agreements. This Agreement may be executed in multiple
counterparts, whether or not all signatories appear on these counterparts, and
each counterpart shall be deemed an original for all purposes.

19. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the
internal laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to its conflict of laws
principles.

20. Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement shall be deemed performable by all
parties in, and venue shall exclusively be in the state or federal courts
located in, Hennepin County, Minnesota. Mr. Corrigan and Mosaic hereby consent
to the personal jurisdiction of these courts and waive any objection that such
venue is objectionable or improper.

21. No Assignment of Claims. Mr. Corrigan shall not assign or delegate any of
his rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent
of Mosaic, and any attempted assignment without Mosaic’s consent shall be void
ab initio. Mosaic may assign this Agreement to any successor of Mosaic or any
purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets of Mosaic.

 

9

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

22. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits A and B
attached hereto, sets forth the entire agreement between the parties, and,
except as otherwise provided herein, fully supersedes any and all prior
agreements, understandings, or representations between the parties pertaining to
the subject matter of this Agreement.

23. No Waiver. Mosaic’s waiver or failure to enforce any term of this Agreement
on one instance shall not constitute a waiver of its rights under this Agreement
with respect to any other violations.

24. Binding Effect of Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon
Mr. Corrigan, Mosaic and their heirs, administrators, representatives,
executors, successors and permitted assigns.

25. Taxes and Withholding. To the extent required by the federal and applicable
state income tax laws and regulations, Mosaic shall withhold and deduct from
compensation during the Transition Period all required withholding and
deductions.

26. Application of Section 409A of Internal Revenue Code. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Agreement
shall be interpreted and applied in a manner that is consistent with
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and any guidance issued by the United
States Treasury Department thereunder.

RELEASE

This RELEASE (“Release”) is entered into as of this              day of
                , 200     (the “Effective Date”), by and between The Mosaic
Company, a Delaware corporation (“Mosaic”), and Fredric W. Corrigan
(“Corrigan”), an individual residing in the State of Minnesota.

WHEREAS, this Release is executed pursuant to Section 8 of the Transition
Agreement dated as of September 12, 2006, by and between Mosaic and Corrigan
(the “Transition Agreement”).

1. Corrigan’s Release. In consideration of the promises, covenants and other
valuable consideration provided by Mosaic in the Transition Agreement and in
this Release, Corrigan hereby unconditionally releases and discharges Mosaic and
its affiliates, and their current and former employees, officers, agents,
directors, and shareholders (collectively referred to as “Released Parties”)
from any and all claims, causes of action, losses, obligations, liabilities,
damages, judgments, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of any nature
whatsoever, known or unknown, contingent or non-contingent (collectively,
“Claims”), that Corrigan had or has as of the date of this Release arising
(i) out of Corrigan’s hiring, employment, or retirement with Mosaic, and
(ii) under any federal or state law, including, but not limited to, the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981-1988, Title VII of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal Pay Act, the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of
1986, the National Labor Relations Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act,
the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, the
Workers Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990, the Minnesota Labor Code, the Minnesota Human Rights
Act, and any provision of the state or federal Constitutions or Minnesota common
law.

This Release includes but is not limited to any claims Corrigan may have for
salary, wages, severance pay, vacation pay, sick pay, bonuses, benefits,
pension, stock options, restricted stock units, overtime, and any other
compensation or benefit of any nature. This Release also includes but is not
limited to any and all common law claims including, but not limited to, claims
for wrongful discharge, breach of express or implied contract, implied covenant
of good faith and fair dealing, intentional or negligent infliction of emotional
distress, violation of public policy, defamation, conspiracy, invasion of
privacy, and/or tortious interference with current or prospective business
relationships. Furthermore, Corrigan relinquishes any right to re-employment
with Mosaic or the Released Parties. Corrigan also relinquishes any right to
further payment or benefits under any employment agreement, benefit plan or
severance arrangement maintained or previously or subsequently maintained by
Mosaic or any of the Released Parties or any of its respective predecessors or
successors, except that he does not release any rights he has under the
Transition Agreement. Corrigan also does not release his right to enforce the
terms of this Release or the Transition Agreement or his right to
indemnification and advancement of expenses under any agreement he has entered
into with Mosaic, under Mosaic’s charter or bylaws or under any insurance policy
maintained by Mosaic that is applicable to its current or former directors and
officers, or under any applicable law relating to officers, directors or
employees.

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

Corrigan understands that, by releasing all of his legal claims against the
Released Parties, he is releasing all of his rights to bring any claims against
them based on any actions, decisions, or events occurring through the date of
his signing of this Release, including the terms and conditions of his
employment and the termination of his employment. Further, he understands that
he is releasing, and does hereby release, any claims for damages, by charge or
otherwise, whether brought by him or on his behalf by any other party,
governmental or otherwise, and agrees not to institute any claims for damages
via administrative or legal proceedings against the Released Parties. Corrigan
also waives and releases any and all rights to money damages or other legal
relief awarded by any governmental agency related to any charge or other claim.

2. No Claims Against Released Parties. Corrigan warrants and represents that, to
the full extent permitted by law, he will not bring against Mosaic or any of the
Released Parties any claim or lawsuit seeking monetary damages that is related
to any matters released by Corrigan under Section 1 of this Release. Corrigan
agrees that if he brings or asserts any such action or lawsuit, he shall pay all
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Mosaic or
the Released Parties in dismissing or defending the action or lawsuit. Nothing
in this provision, however, shall be interpreted to prevent Corrigan from
bringing a claim or lawsuit to enforce the terms of this Release or the
Transition Agreement. This Section 2 shall not apply to any claims Corrigan may
have asserting rights under the Older Worker Benefit Protection Act.

3. Rescission. Corrigan has been informed of his right to revoke this Release
insofar as it extends to potential claims under the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act by informing Mosaic of his intent to revoke this Agreement within
seven (7) calendar days following the Effective Date. Corrigan has likewise been
informed of his right to rescind this Release insofar as it relates to potential
claims under the Minnesota Human Rights Act by written notice to Mosaic within
fifteen (15) calendar days following the Effective Date. Corrigan has further
been informed and understands that any such rescission must be in writing and
hand-delivered to Mosaic or, if sent by mail, postmarked within the applicable
time period, sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, and addressed as
follows:

Richard L. Mack

Senior Vice President and General Counsel

The Mosaic Company

Atria Corporate Center, Suite E490

3033 Campus Drive

Plymouth, MN 55441

Corrigan and Mosaic agree that if Corrigan exercises this right of rescission,
this Release shall be null and void and Corrigan shall return to Mosaic any
consideration paid or benefit provided pursuant to the Transition Agreement or
this Release contemporaneously with the delivery of rescission notice. Corrigan
specifically understands and agrees that any attempt by him to revoke this
Release after the specified period for rescission has expired is, or will be,
ineffective.
