entity, CFSIT, Inc. (hereinafter “Cargill”), subject to the following terms:

 

1. At our discretion, we will provide you with the opportunity to participate in
our fertilizer export trades to India prior to our purchaser in India (“End

2. Prior to any export sales to an End Buyer in India being commenced by
PhosChem, PhosChem may notify and seek your interest regarding participation in
such Trade Flow via Email. PhosChem will use its reasonable efforts to notify
you at least thirty (30) days in advance of the estimated shipment date. You

requirements at least seven (7) days prior to vessel loading. You will remit to
PhosChem the full purchase price no later (7) days from the date of presentation
of trade documents to Cargill.

 

4. Cargill represents and warrants to PhosChem that Cargill’s participation in
the Trade Flow does not violate any US (federal, state or local), Indian or
other foreign law. Cargill will indemnify, defend and hold harmless PhosChem
from all liability that may arise from any breach, default or violation of any
US, Indian or other foreign law as a result of Cargill’s participation in the
Trade Flow.

 

5. PhosChem will bear all product related risks (such as quality, quantity,
freight and dispatch/demurrage) arising out of its sale and delivery of product
under the contract with the End Buyer and will indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Cargill against and from any claims or losses arising from such risks.
Cargill will bear all other transactional structure related risks of the
Trade-Flows, such as foreign exchange risks, and will indemnify, defend and hold
harmless PhosChem against and from any claims or losses arising from such risks.

 

6. All payments to PhosChem by Cargill are without recourse. Cargill waives all
rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to Cargill’s payment of any
amounts due hereunder by Cargill.

 

7. Within seven (7) days after payment of the product invoice to PhosChem,
Cargill will pay to PhosChem a Fee calculated at the minimum rate of 0.475% of
the value of each Trade Flow provided by PhosChem. This Fee is inclusive of all
taxes (direct or indirect) that may be payable by PhosChem on such fee.

Lincolnshire, IL 60069

1. Our subsidiary, Cargill Financial Services International, Inc has entered
into a structuring agreement with Phosphate Chemicals Export Association, Inc.,
a Delaware non-stock corporation (the “Counterparty”), whereby the Counterparty
may make available to Cargill Financial Services International, Inc. and CFSIT,
Inc. (collectively the “Subsidiary”) its export flows destined to India (the
“Agreement”) dated [                        ]. Agreement.

2. In consideration of the Counterparty entering into the Agreement, Cargill,
Incorporated (the “Guarantor”) hereby unconditionally guarantees the full and
prompt payment of any and all amounts due and payable by the Subsidiary to the
Counterparty when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, or (if earlier) at
the time the Subsidiary becomes the subject of bankruptcy or other insolvency
proceedings. The Guarantor shall pay such amounts (subject to the terms of this
guarantee) to the Counterparty within ten (10) days after receipt of the
Counterparty’s written demand upon the Subsidiary and the Guarantor, unless the
Counterparty shall otherwise agree in writing. The Guarantor agrees that, if for
any reason the Counterparty is prevented by applicable law (including, without
limitation the automatic stay in bankruptcy) from making written demand upon the
Subsidiary, the Counterparty may then make written demand solely upon the
Guarantor. However, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event
shall the Guarantor’s liability under this guarantee exceed the maximum
aggregate amount of USD100,000,000.00 (one hundred million United States
Dollars), and the reasonable and properly documented out-of-pocket costs of
enforcing the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder, including attorney’s fees.

3. The Guarantor further agrees that all payments made by the Subsidiary to the
Counterparty on any obligation hereby guaranteed will, when made, be final,
absolute and unconditional and agrees that, if any such payment is recovered
from, or repaid by, the Counterparty in whole or in part as a result of any
final court order in any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar proceeding
instituted by or against the Subsidiary, this guarantee shall continue to be
fully applicable to such obligation to the same extent as though the payment so
recovered or repaid had never been originally made on such obligation. However,
in no event shall this guarantee be interpreted to allow the Counterparty to
recover from the Guarantor, the Subsidiary, or any combination of the two, more
than the Subsidiary’s total outstanding obligations under the Agreement hereby
guaranteed, and the reasonable costs of enforcement as noted in paragraph two
hereinabove.

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

4. All sums payable by the Guarantor hereunder shall be made in freely
transferable, cleared, and immediately available funds without any set-off,
deduction, or withholding by the Guarantor (unless such set-off, deduction, or
withholding is required by an applicable law, judicial, or administrative
decision, or practice of any relevant governmental authority, or by any
combination thereof) in the currency of the obligation to the bank account as
the Counterparty shall indicate in writing to the Guarantor. If the Guarantor is
so required to set-off, deduct, or withhold, then the Guarantor shall pay to the
Counterparty, in addition to the payment to which the Counterparty is otherwise
entitled, such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount
actually received by the Counterparty (free and clear of any set-off, deduction,
or withholding) will equal the full amount which the Counterparty would have
received had no such set-off, deduction, or withholding been required.

5. The Guarantor hereby waives (i) promptness, diligence, presentment, demand of
payment (except as specified herein and in the Agreement), notice of dishonor,
protest, or order and (ii) any requirements that the Counterparty exhaust any
right to take any action against the Subsidiary (except as specified herein and
in the Agreement) or any other person or entity before proceeding to exercise
any right or remedy against the Guarantor.

6. The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations under this guarantee shall
be unconditional, without respect to the validity, regularity, or enforceability
of the Agreement with respect to the Subsidiary, the absence of any action to
enforce the Subsidiary’s obligations under the Agreement, any waiver or consent
by the Counterparty with respect to any provisions thereof, or any other
circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or
defense of the Guarantor, except payment and except as set forth in this
guarantee. This guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of
collection.

7. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this guarantee nor consent to any
departure by the Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be in writing and signed by the Counterparty, and then such
amendment, waiver or departure shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the specific purpose for which given.

8. No failure on the Counterparty’s part to exercise, and no delay in exercising
any right hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

9. This guarantee constitutes a direct, unsecured, and unsubordinated obligation
of the Guarantor, ranking equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated
obligations of the Guarantor.

10. The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all the Counterparty’s rights against
the Subsidiary with respect to any amounts paid by the Guarantor pursuant to
this guarantee, and the Counterparty shall take such action as is reasonably
requested by the Guarantor to assign and transfer to the Guarantor the
Counterparty’s rights under the Agreement with respect to any amounts so paid;
provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to
receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation
until all amounts due and payable by the Subsidiary under the Agreement shall
have been paid in full.

moratorium, or other similar laws or equitable principles relating to or

and the Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall survive and continue in full force
and effect for any transaction entered into, or committed to, between the
Counterparty and the Subsidiary prior to the effective date of such revocation.

Guarantor shall not assign its obligations under this guarantee, unless it shall
first have obtained the Counterparty’s prior written consent to such assignment.

incurred in connection with such assignment shall be borne by the Guarantor.

guarantee shall supersede any prior or contemporaneous representations,
statements or agreements, oral and written, made by or between the parties with
regard to the subject matter hereof.

guarantee, including notices of revocation, until the Guarantor is notified to
