Re: Amendment to Equity Award Agreements

 

Dear Steve:

 

This letter (this “Amendment”) sets forth an amendment to the terms of your
award agreements (“Award Agreements”) covering your outstanding stock option and
restricted stock awards of CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”)
identified on Exhibit A hereto (the “Awards”).  This letter revises the Awards
to provide for their continued vesting during any period in which you continue
to serve as a director on the Board of Directors of the Company notwithstanding
that your employment with the Company has terminated.

 

Specifically, the following paragraph will replace subsection (e)(g) of the
section of each Award Agreement titled “Agreement” with respect to each of the
Award Agreements listed in Part I of Exhibit A:

 

(g) Employment Relationship. For purposes of this Award Agreement, Optionee
shall be considered to be in the employment of the Company so long as Optionee
remains as an employee or consultant to, or otherwise provides services as a
director of, either the Company or an affiliate of the Company or for a
corporation (or an affiliate thereof) that assumes or substitutes a new option
for this Option.  An Optionee shall not be considered to be in the employment or
service of the Company if the affiliate which employs Optionee, or to which the
Optionee provides services, ceases to be an affiliate of the Company.  Any
question as to whether and when there has been a termination of such employment
or service, and the cause of such termination, shall be determined by the
Committee or its delegate, as appropriate, and such determination shall be
final. For the avoidance of doubt and solely for purposes of this Award
Agreement, an Optionee who enters into an agreement with the Company to
transition directly from an employment relationship into a consulting
relationship, or who becomes or remains a director of the Company or an
affiliate thereof, shall not, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, be
deemed to have terminated employment upon such transition from an employment
relationship into a consulting relationship (including service as a director).
In the event of such a transition, the Option shall continue to be exercisable
and eligible to vest in accordance with its terms, as if no termination had
occurred, for so long as such consulting relationship (including director
relationship) remains in effect. The continued existence of the consulting
relationship shall be determined by the Committee or its

 

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

 

delegate and the continued vesting and exercisability of the Option shall not be
construed for any other purpose to mean the Optionee remains employed with the
Company following such transition.

 

Additionally, the following paragraph will replace the third paragraph of
Section 5 of each of the Award Agreements listed in Part II of Exhibit A:

 

For the avoidance of doubt and solely for purposes of this Award Agreement, if
you enter into an agreement with the Company to transition directly from an
employment relationship into a consulting relationship, or you become or remain
a director of the Company or an affiliate thereof, you shall not, unless
otherwise determined by the Committee, be deemed to have terminated employment
upon such transition from an employment relationship into a consulting
relationship (including service as a director). In the event of such a
transition, the Restricted Stock shall continue to be eligible to vest in
accordance with its terms, as if no termination had occurred, for so long as
such consulting relationship (including service as a director) remains in
effect. The continued existence of such consulting relationship shall be
determined by the Committee or its delegate and the continued vesting of the
Restricted Stock shall not be construed for any other purpose to mean you remain
employed with the Company following such transition.

 

Except as modified above, all terms applicable to the Awards, as may be set
forth in an applicable equity plan, Award Agreement or other agreement or
arrangement of or with the Company, shall remain in full force and effect.  This
letter reflects the final agreement between us with respect to the subject
matter hereof and may be amended or altered only in a writing signed by you and
the Company.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

[                                     ]

 

*              *              *

 

I have read this letter in its entirety, and agree to and accept the terms and
conditions stated above.
