In furtherance of the foregoing, EDNLP, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations, does hereby create and grant to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors and assigns, a security interest in all of the EDNLP’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral of EDNLP; provided however, that the Nitric Acid Supply, Operating and Maintenance Agreement (the “Bayer Agreement”) by and among EDNLP, El Dorado Chemical Company (as guarantor) and Bayer MaterialScience, LLC, dated effective October 23, 2008, as amended and as may be substituted therefor, and all proceeds thereof shall not be included as Collateral, and EDNLP grants no security interest in the Bayer Agreement, any interests therein, or any of the proceeds or products

SECTION 4.  This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Collateral Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of EDNLP and the Collateral Agent has executed a counterpart hereof.  Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.

SECTION 5.  Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 6.  THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 7.  Any provision of this Supplement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such provision and such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Supplement or the Security Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
