Estate shall be entitled to exercise the vested Options outstanding at the time of the Optionee’s death within the later of (i) 180 days of the Optionee’s death, or (ii) an extended period, if any, ending on the earlier of:

termination of Board service, or (ii) an extended period, if any, ending on the earlier of: 

  

	 	-	the date on which the Director’s Extension Period ends; or 

  

	 	-	the day that the Option Period expires. 

  

	 	6.2	All rights under an Option not exercised at the expiry of the Option Period or with respect to which the Option Period has not commenced prior to the Optionee’s
death shall lapse. 

  

	7.	Blackout Periods 

 If the
date on which an Option expires occurs during a Blackout Period or within 10 Business Days after the last day of a Blackout Period, the date of expiry of such Option will be the last day of such 10 Business Day period. 

 

	8.	Exercise of Option 

  

	 	8.1	A vested Option may be exercised in whole at any time or in part from time to time during the Option Period. 

 

	 	8.2	A vested Option may be exercised in such manner as the Corporate Secretary may determine from time to time, including, without limitation, processes administered by the
Company or by third parties mandated by the Company, whether using telephone or Internet facilities, or otherwise. The process approved by the Corporate Secretary shall be posted on the human resources portion of the Company’s enterprise web
portal and shall be communicated to Employees, Officers, Directors and Consultants by other means from time to time. Upon full payment of the subscription price together with any amount that may be required to be withheld or deducted under
applicable taxation or other laws, the Company shall cause a certificate for the number of Shares indicated in the Optionee’s notice to be issued in the name of the Optionee and delivered to the address indicated in the notice no later than 10
business days following the exercise of the Option. If the Optionee does not remit to the Company such amount required to be withheld or deducted in cash at the time of the exercice, the Company may cause to be sold, in the market, such number of
Shares underlying the Options as is necessary to pay such amount and shall use the proceeds of the sale for such purpose. 

  

	9.	Subscription Price 

 The
price at which Shares may be purchased under the Plan shall be determined by the Board based on the date an Option is granted, provided however that such price may not be less than the market price of the shares being the closing sale price of the
Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant. 
  

	10.	Option Unassignable 

 The
Optionee may not assign, pledge or encumber any Option nor any interest therein other than by will or under the law of succession. 

  
 - 5 -

	11.	Shareholder Rights 

 An
Optionee shall not have any rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to any of the Shares covered by his/her Option until the Optionee has become the registered holder of such Shares. 

 

	12.	Effect of any Amendment to the Share Capital 

 In the event of any change in the number of outstanding Shares of the Company following any share dividend, subdivision, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination or exchange of shares or any
other similar corporate change, the Board shall make an equitable adjustment to the maximum number or the class of shares issuable under the Plan or covered by outstanding Options and to the subscription price for such shares. Such adjustment shall
be final and binding for the purposes of the Plan. 
  

	13.	Taxes imposed in respect of Options 

 Optionees shall be responsible for any tax that may be imposed either directly or indirectly on the Optionee or the Company or any of its subsidiaries in respect of the Optionee as a result of the grant
of an Option or in respect of the benefit inuring to the Optionee in respect of any Option. The Company, or, as the case may be, the subsidiary of the Company that is liable to pay or withhold any such tax may, to the extent permitted by the law
under which any such tax is imposed, recover from the Optionee in respect of whom the tax is imposed the amount of any such tax paid or payable. 
  

	14.	Amendment and Termination 

  

	 	14.1	The Board, on the recommendation of the Committee, may, at any time and from time to time, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan, in whole or in part, or amend any term
of any issued and outstanding Option (including, without limitation, the price at which Shares may be purchased under the Plan, the vesting and the expiry date of an outstanding Option) provided that no such amendment, suspension or termination may
be made without: 

  

	 	14.1.1	Obtaining approval of the shareholders of the Company, unless not required pursuant to Section 14.2 or applicable regulatory authority or stock exchange
requirements; 

  

	 	14.1.2	obtaining any required approval of any applicable regulatory authority or stock exchange; and 

 

	 	14.1.3	in the case of issued and outstanding Options, obtaining the consent or, subject to regulatory approval, the deemed consent of the concerned Optionee in the event that
the amendment materially prejudices the Optionee’s rights. 

  

	 	14.2	Shareholder approval is not required with respect to the following amendments, in as much as the amendment is in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements:

  
 - 6 -

	 	14.2.1	changing the eligibility for, and limitations on, participation in the Plan; 

 

	 	14.2.2	modifying the periods referred to in Subsections 6.1.1 to 6.1.6 during which Options may be exercised, subject to, as the case may be, (i), subject to Section 7,
the Option Period terminating on or before the tenth anniversary of the date of the grant of the Option, and (ii) a maximum Option exercise period extension of three years for any Employee, Officer, Consultant or Director;

  

	 	14.2.3	changing the terms on which Options may be granted and exercised including, without limitation, the provisions relating to the price at which Shares may be purchased
under the Plan, vesting, expiry, assignment and the adjustments to be made pursuant to Section 12; 

  

	 	14.2.4	making any addition to, deletion from or alteration of the provisions of the Plan that are necessary to comply with applicable law or the requirements of any applicable
regulatory authority or stock exchange; 

  

	 	14.2.5	correcting or rectifying any ambiguity, defective provision, error or omission in the Plan; and 

 

	 	14.2.6	changing the provisions relating to the administration of the Plan; 

 unless any amendment made to the Plan would reduce the subscription price of an issued and outstanding Option, lead to a significant or unreasonable dilution of the outstanding Shares or provide
additional material benefits to Insiders, in which case approval of the shareholders of the Company must be obtained. In addition, if an amendment would reduce the subscription price of any outstanding Option held by an Insider or would extend the
expiry date of Options held by Insiders beyond the exercise periods contemplated under the Plan, approval of the shareholders of the Company, other than the relevant Insiders, must be obtained.

ARTICLE III. 

PAYMENT AMOUNT 
  

Section 3.1 Payment Amount. GP shall pay or cause MLP or Operating Company to pay in cash, to Rentech (or its Affiliates as
Rentech may direct) the amount of any direct or indirect expenses incurred by Rentech or its Affiliates in connection with the provision of Services by Rentech or its Affiliates (the “Payment Amount”), in accordance with the
following: 
  
 (a) Seconded Personnel. The
Payment Amount will include all Personnel Costs of Seconded Personnel, to the extent attributable to the periods during which such Seconded Personnel are provided to the Services Recipients. 
  
 (b) Administrative Personnel. The Payment Amount will include a pro rata share of all Personnel Costs of
Administrative Personnel, as determined by Rentech on a commercially reasonable basis, based on the estimated percent of total working time that such Administrative Personnel are engaged in performing the Services. 

 
 (c) Administrative Costs. The Payment Amount will
include the following: 
  
 (i)
Office Costs. A pro rata share of all office costs (including, without limitation, all costs relating to office leases, equipment leases, supplies, property taxes and utilities) for all locations of Administrative Personnel, as determined by
Rentech on a commercially reasonable basis, based on the Administrative Services Percentage; 
  

(ii) Insurance. Premiums under Rentech’s general policy of insurance will be apportioned by the insurer among
Rentech, its Affiliates and the Services Recipients and direct charged to the applicable insured. GP will maintain its own directors and officers (or equivalent) insurance and will pay all related premiums; 

  
 4 

 (iii) Outside Services. Services provided by outside vendors
(including audit services, legal services, government and public relation services, employee compensation and benefit plan services and related services, payroll services and other services) will first be direct charged where applicable; provided,
however, that the Payment Amount will include a pro rata share of charges for all services that are provided by outside vendors and not direct charged, as determined by Rentech on a commercially reasonable basis, based on the estimated portion of
such services that are for the benefit of Services Recipients; 
  
 (iv) Employee Benefits. Reimbursements to Rentech for costs, expenses and/or claims related to benefits, but excluding any Share-Based Compensation, provided to employees of the Services Recipients
that have been paid by Rentech; and

Affiliates, based on any commercially reasonable allocation methodology selected by Rentech. 
  
 (d) Other Costs. Bank charges, interest expense and any other costs as reasonably incurred by Rentech or its Affiliates in the provision of Services will be direct charged as applicable. For the
avoidance of doubt, any of the foregoing costs and expenses described in Section 3.1 that are direct charged to any Party will not be included in the Payment Amount. 

 
 (e) Taxes. The Services Recipients shall pay or cause
to be paid all taxes, levies, royalties, assessments, licenses, fees, charges, surcharges and sums due of any nature whatsoever (other than income taxes, gross receipt taxes and similar taxes) imposed by any Governmental Authority that Rentech or
its Affiliates incur for the Services provided under this Agreement. If Rentech is required to pay any of the foregoing, then the Payment Amount will include amounts sufficient to reimburse Rentech for such payment. 

 
 Section 3.2 Payment of Payment Amount. Rentech
shall submit monthly invoices to GP for the Services, which invoices shall be due and payable within 30 days. GP shall pay, or cause MLP or Operating Company to pay, to Rentech in immediately available funds, the full Payment Amount due under
Section 3.1. Past due amounts shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Allocation percentages referred to in this Article III will be calculated and determined for calendar year or calendar quarter periods, as Rentech may
determine, based upon Rentech’s annual audited financial statements or quarterly unaudited financial statements for the immediately preceding calendar year or calendar quarter, as applicable. 

 
 Section 3.3 Disputed Charges. GP MAY, WITHIN 90
DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF A CHARGE FROM RENTECH, TAKE WRITTEN EXCEPTION TO SUCH CHARGE, ON THE GROUNDS THAT THE SAME WAS NOT A REASONABLE COST INCURRED BY RENTECH OR ITS AFFILIATES IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES. GP SHALL NEVERTHELESS PAY OR CAUSE MLP
OR OPERATING COMPANY TO PAY WHEN DUE THE FULL PAYMENT AMOUNT OWED TO RENTECH. SUCH PAYMENT SHALL NOT BE DEEMED A WAIVER OF THE RIGHT OF THE SERVICES RECIPIENT TO RECOUP ANY CONTESTED PORTION OF ANY AMOUNT SO PAID. HOWEVER, IF

  
 5 

 
THE AMOUNT AS TO WHICH SUCH WRITTEN EXCEPTION IS TAKEN, OR ANY PART THEREOF, IS ULTIMATELY DETERMINED NOT TO BE A REASONABLE COST INCURRED BY RENTECH OR ITS AFFILIATES IN CONNECTION WITH ITS
PROVIDING THE SERVICES HEREUNDER, SUCH AMOUNT OR PORTION THEREOF (AS THE CASE MAY BE) SHALL BE REFUNDED BY RENTECH TO THE SERVICES RECIPIENTS TOGETHER WITH INTEREST THEREON AT THE DEFAULT RATE DURING THE PERIOD FROM THE DATE OF PAYMENT BY THE
