 “Consolidated
EBITDA” means, with respect to any Person, for any period, the sum (without duplication) of

Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (the “Transaction Date”) to (y) Consolidated Fixed Charges of such Person for the Four Quarter Period. 
  
 For purposes of this definition, “Consolidated EBITDA” and “Consolidated Fixed Charges” shall be calculated after
giving effect on a pro forma basis in accordance with Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act to the incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness of such Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (and the application of the proceeds thereof)
giving rise to the need to make such calculation and any incurrence or repayment of other Indebtedness (and the application of the proceeds thereof), other than the incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness in the ordinary course of business for
working capital purposes pursuant to working capital facilities, occurring during the Four Quarter Period or at any time subsequent to the last day of the Four Quarter Period and prior to the Transaction Date, as if such incurrence or repayment, as
the case may be (and the application of the proceeds thereof), occurred on the first day of the Four Quarter Period. 
  

 -9- 









 In addition, Investments (including any Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries),
Revocations, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers and consolidations that have been made by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries during the Four Quarter Period or subsequent to the Four Quarter Period and on or prior to the Transaction
Date shall be given effect on a pro forma basis in accordance with Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act, to the extent applicable, assuming that all such Investments, Revocations, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers and consolidations (and
the reduction or increase of any associated Consolidated Interest Expense, and the change in Consolidated EBITDA, resulting therefrom, including because of Pro Forma Cost Savings) had occurred on the first day of the Four Quarter Period. If, since
the beginning of such period, any Person (that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period) shall have made any Investment, Revocation,
acquisition, disposition, merger or consolidation that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if
such Investment, Revocation, acquisition, disposition, merger or consolidation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Four Quarter Period. 
  
 If such Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries directly or indirectly guarantees Indebtedness of a Person other than the Company or
a Restricted Subsidiary, the preceding paragraph will give effect to the incurrence of such guaranteed Indebtedness as if such Person or any Restricted Subsidiary of such Person had directly incurred or otherwise assumed such guaranteed
Indebtedness. Furthermore, in calculating “Consolidated Fixed Charges” for purposes of determining the denominator (but not the numerator) of this “Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio,” 
  

	 	(1)	interest on outstanding Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis as of the Transaction Date and which will continue to be so determined thereafter shall be deemed to have
accrued at a fixed rate per annum equal to the weighted average rate of interest during the Four Quarter Period; 

  

	 	(2)	if interest on any Indebtedness actually incurred on the Transaction Date may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a
eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rates, then the interest rate in effect on the Transaction Date will be deemed to have been in effect during the Four Quarter Period; and 

  

 -10- 










	 	(3)	notwithstanding clause (1) above, interest on Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis, to the extent such interest is covered by agreements relating to Interest Swap
Obligations, shall be deemed to accrue at the weighted average rate per annum during the Four Quarter Period resulting after giving effect to the operation of such agreements. 

  
 “Consolidated Fixed Charges” means,
with respect to any Person for any period, the sum, without duplication, of 
  

	 	(1)	Consolidated Interest Expense, plus 

  

	 	(2)	the product of (x) the amount of all dividend payments on any series of Preferred Stock of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than dividends paid in Qualified
Capital Stock and other than dividends paid to such Person or to a Restricted Subsidiary of such Person) paid, accrued or scheduled to be paid or accrued during such period times (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the
denominator of which is one minus the then current effective consolidated federal, state and local tax rate of such Person, expressed as a decimal. 

  
 “Consolidated Interest Expense” means, with respect to any Person for any period,
the sum of, without duplication: 
  

	 	(1)	the aggregate of the interest expense of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP (net of interest
income accrued on any escrow account holding funds to repay the Company’s 6.625% senior notes due 2001, 7.40% notes due 2002 or the Polk County bonds), including without limitation, (a) any amortization of debt discount and amortization of
deferred financing costs, (b) the net costs under Interest Swap Obligations, (c) all capitalized interest and (d) the interest portion of any deferred payment obligation; and 

  

	 	(2)	the interest component of Capitalized Lease Obligations paid, accrued and/or scheduled to be paid or accrued by such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries during such period as
determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP. 

  

 -11- 









 “Consolidated Net Income” means, with respect to any Person (the
“Referent Person”), for any period, the net income (or loss) of the Referent Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period on a consolidated basis, determined in accordance with GAAP; provided that there shall be
excluded from such net income (loss), to the extent otherwise included therein, without duplication: 
  

	 	(1)	gains or losses on sales, transfers or other dispositions of assets other than in the ordinary course of business or abandonments or reserves relating thereto, and the related tax
effect according to GAAP; 

  

	 	(2)	extraordinary gains or extraordinary losses determined in accordance with GAAP, and the related tax effect according to GAAP; 

  

	 	(3)	the net income of any Person acquired in a “pooling of interests” transaction accrued prior to the date it becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Referent Person or is
merged or consolidated with the Referent Person or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Referent Person; 

  

	 	(4)	the net income (but not loss) of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Referent Person to the extent that the declaration of dividends or similar distributions by that Restricted
Subsidiary of that income is restricted; provided that restrictions under the Argus Lease shall be excluded from operation of this clause; 

  


	 	(5)	the net income or loss of any Person that is not a Restricted Subsidiary of the Referent Person except to the extent of cash dividends or distributions paid to the Referent Person
or to a wholly owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Referent Person (subject, in the case of a dividend or distribution paid to a Restricted Subsidiary, to the limitation contained in clause (4) above); 

  

	 	(6)	any restoration to income of any contingency reserve, except to the extent that provision for such reserve was made out of Consolidated Net Income accrued at any time following the
Issue Date; 

  

	 	(7)	income or loss attributable to discontinued operations, other than the Specified Discontinued Businesses prior to the sale thereof; 

  

	 	(8)	in the case of a successor to the Referent Person by consolidation or merger or as a transferee of the Referent Person’s assets, any earnings of the successor corporation prior
to such consolidation, merger or transfer of assets; 

  

	 	(9)	gains or losses from the cumulative effect of any change in accounting principles; and 

  

	 	(10)	Non-Cash Asset Write-Downs;

 provided, further, that Consolidated Net Income shall be reduced by the product of (x) the
amount of all dividends on Designated Preferred Stock (other than dividends paid in Qualified Capital Stock) paid, accrued or scheduled to be paid or accrued during such period times (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator
of which is one minus the then current effective consolidated federal, state and local tax rate of the Company, expressed as a decimal. 
  
 “Consolidated Net Worth” of any Person means the consolidated stockholders’ equity (or equivalent) of such
Person, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, less (without duplication) amounts attributable to (1) Disqualified Capital Stock of such Person and (2) Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

means, with respect to any Person, for any period, the aggregate depreciation, depletion, amortization and other non-cash charges (other than Non-Cash Asset Write-Downs) of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries reducing Consolidated Net Income
of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP (excluding any such charges constituting an extraordinary item or loss or any such charge which requires an accrual of or a
reserve for cash charges for any future period).

as a consequence of the incurrence of any such Indebtedness, the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness), and Restricted Subsidiaries which are not Guarantors may incur Acquired Indebtedness, in
each case if, after giving effect to the incurrence thereof, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company is at least 2.0 to 1.0 (the “Coverage Ratio Exception”). 
  
 The Company will not, directly or indirectly, in any event
incur any Indebtedness that purports to be by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) subordinated to any other Indebtedness of the Company unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms (or by the terms of any
agreement governing such Indebtedness) subordinated to the Notes to the same extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to such other Indebtedness of the Company. 
  
 No Subsidiary Guarantor will, directly or indirectly, in any event incur any Indebtedness that purports to
be by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) subordinated to any other Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such
Indebtedness) subordinated to the Note Guarantee of 

  

 -41- 









 
such Subsidiary Guarantor to the same extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to such other Indebtedness of such Subsidiary
Guarantor. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other
provision in this Section 4.08, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this Section 4.08 shall not be deemed to be exceeded as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of
currencies. For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.08: 
  
 (a) the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness shall be counted only once and any obligation arising under any guarantee, Lien, letter of credit or similar instrument supporting such Indebtedness
shall be disregarded; and 
  
 (b) in the event
that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (3) through (19) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the
Coverage Ratio Exception, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, classify such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 4.08 (provided that all outstanding Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement on the Issue
Date shall be deemed to have been incurred pursuant to clause (3) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness”) and may later reclassify such item into any one or more of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (3)
through (19) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” (provided that at the time of reclassification it meets the criteria in such category or categories). 
  
 This Section 4.08 will not apply after the Fall-Away Event. 
  
 SECTION 4.09. Limitation on Restricted Payments. 
  
 The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted Payment if at the time of such Restricted Payment or immediately after giving effect thereto, 
  

	 	(A)	a Default has occurred and is continuing; 

  

	 	(B)	the Company is not able to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception; or 

  

	 	(C)	 the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments made after the Issue Date, including the fair market value as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors or a senior officer of the Company of 



  

 -42- 










	 	 
non-cash amounts constituting Restricted Payments, shall exceed the sum of, without duplication, 


  

	 	(1)	50% of the cumulative Consolidated Net Income (or if cumulative Consolidated Net Income shall be a loss, minus 100% of such loss) of the Company from the beginning of the fiscal
quarter in which the Issue Date occurred through the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of the Restricted Payment (treating such period as a single accounting period);
plus 

  

	 	(2)	100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company from any Person (other than a Subsidiary of the Company) from the issuance and sale subsequent to the Issue Date of
Qualified Capital Stock of the Company or from a contribution to its common equity capital (other than the type set forth in clause (7) of the next succeeding paragraph); plus 

  

	 	(3)	the amount by which Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries incurred after the Issue Date is reduced on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet upon
the conversion or exchange (other than by a Subsidiary of the Company) of such Indebtedness into Qualified Capital Stock plus the net proceeds (including the fair market value of assets other than cash) received by the Company from the
issuance and sale of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Capital Stock that has been converted into or exchanged for Qualified Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Capital Stock sold to a Subsidiary of the Company), in each case, less
the amount of any cash, or the fair market value of any other assets, distributed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries upon such conversion or exchange; plus 

  

	 	(4)	 to the extent not otherwise included in the calculation of Consolidated Net Income for purposes of clause (1) above, 100% of the aggregate net proceeds (including
the fair market value of assets other than cash) received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries upon the sale or other disposition of any Investment made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries since the Issue Date;
provided, however, that the foregoing sum shall not exceed, in the case of any investee, the 



  

 -43- 










	 	 
aggregate amount of Investments previously made (and treated as a Restricted Payment) by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such investee
subsequent to the Issue Date; plus 


  

	 	(5)	to the extent not otherwise included in the calculation of Consolidated Net Income for purposes of clause (1) above, an amount equal to the sum of (x) the net reduction in
Investments in Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Company resulting from dividends, repayments of loans or advances or other transfers of assets, in each case to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the
Company, and (y) the fair market value of the net assets of an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company at the time such Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary multiplied by the Company’s proportionate interest in such
Subsidiary; provided, however, that the foregoing sum shall not exceed, in the case of any Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate amount of Investments previously made (and treated as a Restricted Payment) by the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries in such Unrestricted Subsidiary subsequent to the Issue Date. 

  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph do not prohibit: 
  

	 	(1)	the payment of any dividend within 90 days after the date of declaration of such dividend if the dividend would have been permitted on the date of declaration;


  

	 	(2)	the acquisition of any Capital Stock of the Company, either (A) solely in exchange for Qualified Capital Stock of the Company or (B) if no Default has occurred and is continuing,
through the application of the net proceeds of a substantially concurrent issuance and sale for cash (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company; 

  

	 	(3)	 the acquisition of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to the Notes or the Note Guarantee
of such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, either (A) solely in exchange for Qualified Capital Stock of the Company or Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of such Indebtedness, or (B) if no Default has occurred and is continuing, through the
application of net proceeds of a substantially concurrent sale or 



  

 -44- 










	 	 
incurrence for cash (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of (x) Qualified Capital Stock of the Company or (y) Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of
such Indebtedness; 


  

	 	(4)	if no Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof, the declaration and payment of dividends to holders of any class or series of Designated
Preferred Stock (other than Disqualified Capital Stock) issued on or after the Issue Date; provided that, at the time of such issuance, the Company, after giving effect to such issuance on a pro forma basis, would be able to incur at least
$1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception; 

  

	 	(5)	Restricted Payments by the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries, on the one hand, to an Affiliate Guarantor, on the other, to fund or otherwise support ordinary course of
business operations of the Affiliate Guarantors (including without limitation working capital requirements of the Affiliate Guarantors but excluding (x) the funding of any Mosaic Restricted Dividend, (y) the funding of an Investment by such
Affiliate Guarantors in Subsidiaries of Mosaic that are not Affiliate Guarantors unless such Investment would be permitted to be made by the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to clause (6) below and (z) the funding of a payment or
contribution to the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries of the type set forth in clause (7) below); 

  

	 	(6)	 (a) inter-company loans made by the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries, on the one hand, to Subsidiaries of Mosaic that are not Affiliate Guarantors, on the
other, to fund or otherwise support ordinary course of business operations of such Subsidiaries (including without limitation working capital requirements of such Subsidiaries but excluding (x) the funding of any Mosaic Restricted Dividend and (y)
the funding of a payment or contribution to the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries of the type set forth in clause (7) below) and (b) inter-company loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed $200.0 million at any time outstanding made by the
Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries, on the one hand, to any Subsidiaries of Mosaic, on the other, to fund or otherwise support non-ordinary course of business transactions (including without limitation acquisitions and capital expenditures
by such Subsidiaries but excluding (x) the funding of any Mosaic Restricted Dividend), provided that in the case of any inter-company loan or series of related inter-company loans set forth in 



  

 -45- 










	 	 
this clause (6) which in the aggregate exceed $5.0 million, the terms of such loans are no less favorable to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole, as would be available to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries were it making such loans to a non-Affiliate at fair market value, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or a senior officer of the
Company; 


  

	 	(7)	Restricted Payments made substantially concurrently with or promptly following the receipt by the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries of, and in an aggregate amount not
exceeding the amount of, (i) any cash contribution from Mosaic and/or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries), and/or (ii) any cash distribution (a) from any of Mosaic’s Subsidiaries (other than the
Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries) and/or (b) from or in respect of any other Investment permitted by this clause (7), and/or (iii) any cash payment in whole or in part of any principal, interest or other amounts in respect of Indebtedness
that is an Investment permitted pursuant to this clause (7); 

  

	 	(8)	repurchases of Capital Stock deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options if such Capital Stock represents a portion of the exercise price thereof and repurchases of Capital
Stock deemed to occur upon the withholding of a portion of the Capital Stock granted or awarded to an employee to pay for the taxes payable by such employee upon such grant or award; and 

  

	 	(9)	additional Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $60.0 million since the Operative Date. 

  
 Issuances of Capital Stock or equity contributions pursuant to any clause in
this paragraph shall not increase the amount available for Restricted Payments under clause (C) of the immediately preceding paragraph. 
  
 Not later than the date of making any Restricted Payment pursuant to clause (C) of the second preceding paragraph, the Company shall
deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Restricted Payment complies with this Indenture and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis upon which the required calculations were computed. 
  
 This Section 4.09 will not apply after the Fall-Away Event.

 SECTION 4.10. Limitation on Asset Sales. 
  
 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless: 
  

	 	(1)	the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets that are sold or
otherwise disposed of, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors or a senior officer of the Company; and 

  

	 	(2)	at least 75% of the consideration received by the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary from the Asset Sale is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided
that in the case of the sale of all of the IMC Salt Business Unit and Ogden, in the alternative, up to 35% of the consideration received by the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary in the sale may be in the form of Capital Stock of the
Person that will hold the IMC Salt Business Unit and Ogden following the Asset Sale if the remainder is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided, further, that the requirement in this clause (2) shall not apply in the case of
the sale of all or any part of the IMC Chemicals Business Unit. 

  
 For the purposes of clause (2) above, the amount of any Indebtedness shown on the most recent applicable balance sheet of the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, other than Indebtedness that is by its
terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee, that is assumed by the transferee of any such assets will be deemed to be cash. 
  
 Additionally, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, must apply the Net Cash Proceeds from each Asset Sale to:

  

	 	(1)	repay Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement; 

  

	 	(2)	repay (including by purchase) secured obligations; 

  

	 	(3)	repay (including by purchase) any Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor; and/or 

  

	 	(4)	 make an investment in or expenditures for assets (including Capital Stock of any entity) (a) that replace the assets that were the subject of the Asset Sale or (b)
that will be used in the business of the Company 



  

 -47- 










	 	 
and its Subsidiaries as existing on the Issue Date or in businesses reasonably related thereto (“Replacement Assets”).



  
 Any Net Cash Proceeds that
the Company does not apply, or decides not to apply, in accordance with the preceding paragraph will constitute a “Net Proceeds Offer Amount.” The 366th day after an Asset Sale or any earlier date on which the Board of Directors of
the Company determines not to apply the Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with the preceding paragraph is a “Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date.” When the aggregate Net Proceeds Offer Amount is equal to or exceeds $25.0 million, the
Company must make an offer to purchase (the “Net Proceeds Offer”) on a date that is not less than 30 days nor more than 45 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, from 
  

	 	(a)	all Holders of Notes and 

  

	 	(b)	all holders of other Indebtedness (“Other Indebtedness”) that (x) is not, by its terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and (y) contains
provisions requiring that an offer to purchase such Other Indebtedness be made with the proceeds from the Asset Sale, 

  
 on a pro rata basis, the maximum principal amount of Notes and Other Indebtedness that may be purchased with the Net Proceeds Offer Amount. The offer
price for Notes in any Net Proceeds Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes, if any, to the date of purchase. 
  
 The following events will be deemed to constitute an Asset
Sale and the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale must be applied in accordance with this Section 4.10: 
  

	 	(1)	in the event any non-cash consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company in connection with any Asset Sale is converted into or sold or otherwise
disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), or 

  

	 	(2)	 in the event of the transfer of substantially all, but not all, of the assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as an entirety to a Person in a
transaction permitted under Section 5.01, and as a result thereof the Company is no longer an obligor on the Notes, the successor corporation shall be deemed to have sold the assets of the 



  

 -48- 










	 	 
Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries not so transferred for purposes of this Section 4.10, and shall comply with the provisions of this Section 4.10 with
respect to such deemed sale as if it were an Asset Sale. In addition, the fair market value of such assets of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries deemed to be sold shall be deemed to be Net Cash Proceeds for purposes of this Section 4.10.



  
 Notwithstanding the
provisions described in the immediately preceding paragraphs, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may consummate an Asset Sale without complying with such provisions to the extent that (a) at least 75% of the consideration for such Asset
Sale constitutes Replacement Assets and (b) such Asset Sale is for fair market value. Any cash consideration that does not constitute Replacement Assets that is received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with any
Asset Sale permitted under this paragraph will constitute Net Cash Proceeds and will be subject to the provisions described in the preceding paragraphs. 
  
 The Company shall mail a notice of a Net Proceeds Offer by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the record Holders as shown on the
register of Holders within 30 days following the Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, with a copy to the Trustee, containing all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer and shall
state the following terms: 
  

	 	(1)	that the Net Proceeds Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.10, that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment; provided, however, that if the aggregate
principal amount of Notes and Other Indebtedness tendered in a Net Proceeds Offer plus accrued interest at the expiration of such offer exceeds the aggregate amount of the Net Proceeds Offer, the Company shall select on a pro rata basis, the Notes
and Other Indebtedness to be purchased (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $1,000, as applicable, or multiples thereof shall be purchased) and that the Net Proceeds Offer shall
remain open for a period of 20 business days or such longer periods as may be required by law; 

  

	 	(2)	the offer price (including the amount of accrued interest) and the Net Proceeds Offer date of payment (“Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date”) (which shall be not less
than 30 nor more than 45 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date and which shall be at least five business days after the Trustee receives notice thereof from the Company); 

  

 -49- 










	 	(3)	that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest; 

  

	 	(4)	that, unless the Company defaults in making payment therefor, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Net Proceeds
Offer Payment Date; 

  

	 	(5)	that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer will be required to surrender such Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect
Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the business day prior to the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date; 

  

	 	(6)	that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the second business day prior to the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date, a
telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of the Notes such Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased;
and 

  

	 	(7)	that Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part will be issued new Notes in a principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered; provided,
however, that each Note purchased and each new Note issued shall be in an original principal amount of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof. 

  
 On or before the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date, the Company shall (a) accept for payment Notes or portions
thereof (in integral multiples of $1,000) validly tendered pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer, (b) deposit with the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 2.15 U.S. Dollars sufficient to pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, of all Notes to be purchased and (c) deliver to the Trustee Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Company. Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of the monies
specified in clause (b) above and a copy of the Officers’ Certificate specified in clause (c) above, the Paying Agent shall promptly mail to the Holders of Notes so accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase price plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, out of the funds deposited with the Paying Agent in accordance with the preceding sentence. The Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail to such Holders new Notes equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of
the Notes surrendered. Upon the payment of the purchase price for the Notes accepted for purchase, the Trustee shall return the Notes purchased to the Company for cancellation. Any monies remaining after 

  

 -50- 









 
the purchase of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer shall be returned within three business days by the Trustee to the Company except with respect to
monies owed as obligations to the Trustee pursuant to Article Seven. For purposes of this Section 4.10, the Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent. 
  
 To the extent the amount of Notes tendered pursuant to any Net Proceeds Offer is less than the amount of Net Cash Proceeds subject to such
Net Proceeds Offer, the Company may use any remaining portion of such Net Cash Proceeds not required to fund the repurchase of tendered Notes for general corporate purposes and such Net Proceeds Offer Amount shall be reset to zero. 
  
 The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1
under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of
any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the provisions of this
Section 4.10 by virtue thereof. 
  
 This Section
4.10 will not apply after the Fall-Away Event. 
  
 SECTION 4.11.
Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries. 
  
 The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise
cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to: 
  

	 	(A)	pay dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; 

  

	 	(B)	make loans or advances or pay any Indebtedness or other obligations owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or 

  

	 	(C)	transfer any of its assets to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, 

  
 except for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of: 
  

	 	(1)	applicable laws, rules and regulations; 

  

 -51- 










	 	(2)	any provisions of this Indenture, the 2008 Indenture or the 2013 Indenture; 

  

	 	(3)	customary provisions of any contract or lease (other than a capital lease or a lease in a sale and leaseback transaction) governing a leasehold interest of the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries; 

  

	 	(4)	any agreements existing at the time of acquisition of any Person or the assets of the Person so acquired (including agreements governing Acquired Indebtedness), which encumbrance or
restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the assets of any Person, other than the Person or the assets or Capital Stock of the Person so acquired; 

  

	 	(5)	agreements existing on the Issue Date to the extent and in the manner such agreements are in effect on such date; 

  

	 	(6)	restrictions imposed by any agreement to sell assets permitted under this Indenture relating to such assets pending the closing of such sale; 

  

	 	(7)	Indebtedness or other contractual requirements of a Securitization Entity in connection with a Qualified Securitization Transaction; provided that such restrictions apply
only to such Securitization Entity; 

  

	 	(8)	Liens incurred in accordance with Section 4.15; 

  

	 	(9)	restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; 

  

	 	(10)	the Credit Agreement as in effect on the Issue Date; 

  

	 	(11)	any restriction under an agreement governing Indebtedness of a Foreign Subsidiary incurred in compliance with Section 4.08; 

  

	 	(12)	customary restrictions in Capitalized Lease Obligations, security agreements or mortgages securing Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to the extent
such restrictions restrict the transfer of the property subject to such Capitalized Lease Obligations, security agreements or mortgages; 

  

	 	(13)	 customary provisions in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements, in each case relating solely to the respective joint venture or similar entity or the
equity interests therein; provided that this clause 



  

 -52- 










	 	 
(13) shall not affect the limitation in clause (5) of the definition of “Permitted Investments”; 


  

	 	(14)	contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business, not relating to Indebtedness, and that do not, individually or in the aggregate, detract from the value of assets of the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in any manner material to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; 

  

	 	(15)	purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose encumbrances or restrictions on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company to transfer the property so acquired to the Company or any of its other Restricted Subsidiaries; and 

  

	 	(16)	an agreement governing Indebtedness incurred to Refinance the Indebtedness incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to in clause (2), (4), (5), (10) or (15) above;
provided, however, that the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in any such Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially less favorable to the Holders of Notes in the aggregate as reasonably determined by
the Board of Directors or a senior officer of the Company in their good faith judgment than the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in agreements referred to in such clause (2), (4), (5), (10) or (15).


  
 In addition, the Company will
use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its contractual obligations and fiduciary duties to its joint ventures, not to permit any of its joint ventures that are not Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company (excluding any joint
ventures of Mosaic or its Subsidiaries (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) existing as of the Operative Date that on or after the Operative Date become joint ventures of the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture (to
the extent the restrictions set forth below exist on the Operative Date)) to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any restriction on the ability of such joint venture to: 
  

	 	(A)	pay dividends or make any other distributions to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries on its Capital Stock or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or
measured by, its profits; 

  

	 	(B)	make loans or advances or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or 

  

 -53- 










	 	(C)	transfer any of its assets to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, 

  
 except for those restrictions existing under or by reason of: 
  

	 	(1)	such joint venture’s joint venture agreement or its credit facility, or 

  

	 	(2)	the restrictions described in clauses (1) through (16), as applicable, of the first sentence of this Section 4.11 (assuming that references therein to Restricted Subsidiary were
references to such joint venture). 

  

	 	This	Section 4.11 will not apply after the Fall-Away Event. 

  
 SECTION 4.12. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. 
  

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or permit to exist
any transaction or series of related transactions with, or for the benefit of, any of its Affiliates (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), other than 
  

	 	(a)	Affiliate Transactions described in the last paragraph of this Section 4.12; and 

  

	 	(b)	Affiliate Transactions on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those terms that would reasonably have been obtained at that
time in a comparable transaction by the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary and an unrelated Person. 

  
 The Board of Directors or a senior officer of the Company must approve each Affiliate Transaction that involves aggregate payments or
other assets with a fair market value in excess of $15.0 million. This approval must be evidenced by a board resolution that states that such board has determined that the transaction complies with the foregoing provisions. 
  
 If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company
enters into an Affiliate Transaction that involves aggregate payments or other assets with a fair market value in excess of $30.0 million, then prior to the consummation of that Affiliate Transaction, the Company must obtain a favorable opinion from
an Independent Financial Advisor as to the fairness of that Affiliate Transaction to the Holders of Notes from a financial point of view, and deliver that opinion to the Trustee. 
  

 -54- 









 The restrictions described in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 4.12 do not apply
to: 
  

	 	(1)	reasonable fees and compensation paid to and indemnity provided on behalf of officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as
reasonably determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors or a senior officer of the Company; 

  

	 	(2)	transactions exclusively between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or exclusively between or among such Restricted Subsidiaries, provided such
transactions are not otherwise prohibited by any provision contained in this Indenture; 

  

	 	(3)	any agreement in effect on the Issue Date as in effect on such date or as thereafter amended in a manner not materially less favorable to the Holders of Notes in the aggregate;


  

	 	(4)	transactions between the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Affiliate Guarantors, on the other, in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in

 This Section 4.12 will not apply after the Fall-Away Event. 
  
 SECTION 4.13. Limitation on Designations of Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

  
 The Board of Directors of the Company may
designate (a “Designation”) any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (including any newly acquired or newly formed Subsidiary of the Company) to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company, so long as such Designation would not
cause a Default. 
  
 For purposes of making the
determination of whether such Designation would cause a Default, the portion of the fair market value of the net assets of any Subsidiary of the Company at the time that such Subsidiary is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary that is represented by
the interest of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding Permitted Investments) in such Subsidiary, in each case as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, shall be deemed to be a Restricted Payment. Such
Designation will only be permitted if such Restricted Payment would be permitted at such time. 
  
 The Board of Directors of the Company may revoke any Designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (a
“Revocation”); provided that: 
  

	 	(a)	no Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such Revocation; and 

  

	 	(b)	all Liens and Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary outstanding immediately after such Revocation would, if incurred at such time, have been permitted to be incurred (and
shall be deemed to have been incurred) for all purposes of this Indenture. 

  
 Any such Designation or Revocation by the Board of Directors of the Company shall be evidenced to the Trustee by promptly filing with the
Trustee a copy 

  

 -56- 









 
of the resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company giving effect to such Designation or Revocation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that
such Designation or Revocation complied with the foregoing provisions. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) upon consummation of a Phosphates Combination Transaction, the Phosphates Entities, and (b) upon consummation of a Restricted Payment solely (other than a de minimis contribution of
capital) of the type set forth in clause (7) of the second paragraph of Section 4.09 which results in a Person that is not a Subsidiary of the Company becoming a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company, such Person, shall be deemed to be
designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company without compliance by the Company with the provisions of this Section 4.13. 
  
 This Section 4.13 will not apply after the Fall-Away Event. 
  
 SECTION 4.14. Conduct of Business. 
  
 The Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than a Securitization Entity) will not engage in any
businesses that are not the same, similar, related or ancillary to the businesses in which the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are engaged on the Issue Date, except to the extent that after engaging in any new business, the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, remain substantially engaged in similar lines of business as are conducted by them on the Issue Date. 
  
 This Section 4.14 will not apply after the Fall-Away Event. 
  
 SECTION 4.15. Limitations on Liens and Sale and Leaseback Transactions.  
  
 (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, incur any Liens of any kind other than Permitted Liens upon any Principal Property or any shares of stock or debt of any Restricted Subsidiary owned as of the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, unless all payments due
under the Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligation so secured until such time as such obligation is no longer secured by a Lien. 
  
 (b) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any arrangement with any Person providing
for the leasing by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Principal Property, except for temporary leases for a term, including any renewal, of not more than five years and except for leases between the Company and a Restricted Subsidiary
or between Restricted Subsidiaries, which Principal Property has been or is to be sold or 

  

 -57- 









 
transferred by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to such Person (hereinafter, a “Sale and Leaseback Transaction”), unless either

  

	 	(1)	the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled, in accordance with clause (a) (other than by operation of clause (c)), to incur Indebtedness secured by a Lien on such
property without equally and ratably securing the Notes or 

  

	 	(2)	the Company within 180 days after the effective date of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction applies an amount equal to the Value of such transaction to the voluntary retirement of
its Funded Debt. 

  
 (c)
Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness which would otherwise be subject to the limitation of clause (a) without securing the Notes, or enter into a Sale and Leaseback Transaction which
would otherwise be subject to the limitation of clause (b) without retiring Funded Debt, or enter into a combination of such transactions, if the sum of 
  

	 	(x)	the principal amount of all such Indebtedness incurred after August 1, 1998 and which would otherwise be or have been prohibited by the limitations of clauses (a) and (b),
plus 

  

	 	(y)	the aggregate Value of all such Sale and Leaseback Transactions after August 1, 1998 

  
 does not at any such time exceed 10% of the consolidated total assets of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as
shown on the most recent audited consolidated balance sheet contained in the latest annual report to the stockholders of the Company. 
  
 SECTION 4.16. Limitation on Guarantees by Restricted Subsidiaries. 
  
 The Company will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to
guarantee any Indebtedness of the Company (“Guaranteed Indebtedness”), unless such Restricted Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary
guarantees, jointly and severally with all other Guarantors, on the same basis as such Guaranteed Indebtedness is guaranteed, all of the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes. If the Guaranteed Indebtedness is (x) pari passu
with the Notes, then the guarantee of such Guaranteed Indebtedness shall be pari passu with, or subordinated to, the Note Guarantee or (y) subordinated to the Notes, then the guarantee of such Guaranteed Indebtedness shall be subordinated to
the Note Guarantee at least to the extent that the Guaranteed Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel that such 

  

 -58- 









 
supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary and, subject to customary exceptions, constitutes a
valid and legally binding and enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary. 
  
 SECTION 4.17. Reports to Holders. 
  
 Subject to the last paragraph of this Section 4.17, whether or not required by the Commission, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will furnish to the Holders of Notes, within the time periods specified
in the Commission’s rules and regulations, and make available to securities analysts and potential investors upon request: 
  

	 	(1)	all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if Mosaic were required to file such
forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual financial statements by Mosaic’s independent
registered public accounting firm; and 

  

	 	(2)	all current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form 8-K if Mosaic were required to file such reports. 

  
 In addition, whether or not required by the Commission, the
Company will file a copy of all the information and reports referred to above with the Commission for public availability within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations (unless the Commission will not accept such a
filing) and make such information available to security analysts and prospective investors upon request after such filing. 
  
 After such time as Mosaic is released from its Note Guarantee pursuant to clause (v) of Section 10.05, the information and reports to be
furnished and filed pursuant to the preceding two paragraphs shall be information and reports with respect to the Company and there shall be no requirement to furnish or file any such information or reports with respect to Mosaic.

 SECTION 4.18. Repurchase at the Option of Holders upon Change of Control.  
  
 If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Notes will
have the right to require the Company to purchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”). In the Change of
Control Offer, the Company will offer a payment (the “Change of Control Payment”) in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes, if any, to the date of
purchase (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). 
  
 Within 30 days following the date on which a Change of Control occurs, the Company shall send, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, a notice to each Holder of Notes at its last registered address and the Trustee,
which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. The notice to the Holders shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall
state: 
  

	 	(1)	that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.18 and that all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn will be accepted for payment;


  

	 	(2)	the Change of Control Payment and the Change of Control Payment Date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than
as may be required by law); 

  

	 	(3)	that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest; 

  

	 	(4)	that, unless the Company defaults in making payment therefor, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change
of Control Payment Date; 

  

	 	(5)	 that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of
Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes at the 



  

 -60- 










	 	 
address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date;



  

	 	(6)	that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the second Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, a
telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Notes the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Note purchased;


  

	 	(7)	that Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part will be issued new Notes in a principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered; provided,
however, that each Note purchased and each new Note issued shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof; and 

  

	 	(8)	the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control. 

  
 The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations
thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable to the purchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. 
  
 On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful: (x) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes
properly tendered in the Change of Control Offer; (y) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment for all Notes or portions of Notes tendered; and (z) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so
accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company. 
  
 The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes tendered the Change of Control Payment for them, and the Trustee will promptly
authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any. Each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000. 
  
 Except as
described in this Section 4.18, this Indenture does not contain provisions that permit the Holders of Notes to require that the Company purchase or redeem the Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction. 
  

 -61- 









 The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of
Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes
validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer, as provided above, if, in connection with or in contemplation of any Change of Control, it has made an offer to
purchase (an “Alternate Offer”) any and all Notes validly tendered at a cash price equal to or higher than the Change of Control Payment and has purchased all Notes properly tendered in accordance with the terms of such Alternate
Offer. 
  
 This Section 4.18 will not apply after
the Fall-Away Event. 
  
 SECTION 4.19. Termination of Certain
Covenants in Event of Investment Grade Rating. 
  
 After the Fall-Away Event, the provisions of Sections 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.18 and 5.01(a)(3) will not apply. In addition, the Note Guarantee of each Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released and
discharged upon the occurrence of the Fall-Away Event, but only if such Subsidiary Guarantor or Affiliate Guarantor, as the case may be, (x) is released from all of its guarantees of the Company’s obligations (other than as a result of payment
under any such guarantee) and (y) is not otherwise, in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, an obligor under the Credit Agreement or, in the case of an Affiliate Guarantor, a guarantor under the Credit Agreement. 
  
 The “Fall-Away Event” shall be deemed to
have occurred when: 
  
 (1) the Notes have
Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies; 
  
 (2) no Default has occurred and is continuing; and 
  
 (3) the Company has delivered an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee certifying that the conditions set forth in clauses (1) and (2) above are satisfied.”
