 Exhibit 10.24 
  
 SECOND AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING CREDIT 
 AGREEMENT DATED DECEMBER 22, 2003, AMONG ROYSTER-CLARK, INC., 
 CERTAIN SUBSIDIARIES OF
ROYSTER-CLARK, INC., VARIOUS FINANCIAL 
 INSTITUTIONS, U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as the Administrative Agent, and a 
 Collateral Agent, and THE CIT GROUP/BUSINESS CREDIT, INC., as a Collateral Agent, 
  
 and 
  
 SUPPLEMENT AMENDING THE BORROWER PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, 
 THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY AND THE SUBSIDIARY PLEDGE AND SECURITY 
 AGREEMENT 
  
 This Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement and
Supplement Amending the Borrower Pledge and Security Agreement, the Subsidiary Guaranty and the Subsidiary Pledge and Security Agreement (collectively, this “Amendment”) is made as of February 3, 2005 between Royster-Clark, Inc. a
Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as “Borrower”), Royster-Clark Resources LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Royster-Clark Agribusiness, Inc. (f/k/a IMC AgriBusiness, Inc.), a Delaware corporation, Royster-Clark
Nitrogen, Inc. (f/k/a IMC Nitrogen Company), a Delaware corporation, (individually a “Co-Borrower” and collectively, the “Co-Borrowers”), and the various financial institutions signatory hereto (being all of the
Lenders). 
  
 RECITAL 
  
 Borrower has agreed to sell 100% of the capital stock of the Co-Borrower,
Royster-Clark Nitrogen, Inc. (“RCN”) to Rentech Development Corporation for a price of approximately $63,000,000 with $50,000,000 fixed and approximately $13,000,000 to be adjusted dollar for dollar based on the level of working
capital at RCN at closing. Proceeds from the sale of the plant ($50,000,000) will be tendered to the holders of the First Mortgage Notes in respect of mortgages to be released pursuant to the terms of the indenture underlying the First Mortgage
Notes. After deduction of prepayment penalties and transaction expenses this tender is expected to result in reduction of indebtedness to the holders of the First Mortgage Notes of approximately $41,000,000. The remainder of the proceeds (the amount
determined by the working capital delivered along with the plant) will be applied to the Revolving Loan and, being greater than the Collateral delivered to the buyer, will result in an immediate increase of availability. The current Revolving Loan
Commitment Amount ($225,000,000) is not expected to be changed as a result of this transaction. The transaction described in this paragraph is referred to herein as the “RCN Sale”. 
  
 With respect to the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement between
Borrower, the Co-Borrowers and the Lenders dated December 22, 2003 (as amended, replaced, restated and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) and other Loan Documents, Borrower and the Co-Borrowers have requested
that the Lenders amend and modify the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents to reflect certain terms of the RCN Sale, Borrower and the Co-Borrowers have requested that the Lenders waive compliance with certain covenants under the Credit
Agreement and other Loan Documents relating to the RCN Sale, 

 
Borrower and the Co-Borrowers have requested that the Lenders consent to the release of RCN as a Co-Borrower in accordance with the Credit Agreement, as a
Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guaranty, and as a Grantor under the Subsidiary, Pledge and Security Agreement, and the Lenders are willing to do these things on the terms and conditions herein contained. Except as defined herein, all capitalized
terms used in this Amendment shall have meaning assigned to them in the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents. 
  
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the terms and conditions contained in the Credit Agreement and this Amendment and of any loans or
other financial accommodations heretofore, now or hereafter made to or for the benefit of Borrower and the Co-Borrowers by the Lenders, Borrower, the Co-Borrowers and the Lenders agree as follows: 
  
 1. Notwithstanding the terms of any such Loan Document to the contrary, the
parties acknowledge and agree that RCN is hereby released as a Co-Borrower under the Credit Agreement, under each Revolving Note, under the Swing Line Note and under the Agent’s Fee Letter. RCN agrees that it shall have no further rights to any
Credit Extensions under the Credit Agreement or any Loan Documents. 
  
 2. Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement, Definitions And Accounting Terms, shall be amended by adding, relocating or amending the following definitions, as the case may be, to read in full as follows: 
  
 “Revolving Note” means a promissory note of the Borrower
and the Co-Borrowers payable to any Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1-3 hereto (as such promissory note may be amended, endorsed or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof),
evidencing the aggregate Indebtedness of the Borrower and the Co-Borrowers to such Lender resulting from outstanding Revolving Loans, and also means all other promissory notes accepted from time to time in substitution therefor or renewal thereof.

  
 “Swing Line Note” means a promissory note of
the Borrower and the Co-Borrowers payable to the Swing Line Lender, in substantially the form of Exhibit A-2-3 hereto (as such promissory note may be amended, endorsed or otherwise modified from time to time), evidencing the aggregate
Indebtedness of the Borrower and the Co-Borrowers to the Swing Line Lender resulting from outstanding Swing Line Loans, and also means all other promissory notes accepted from time to time in substitution therefor or renewal thereof. 
  
 3. Notwithstanding the definition of “Change in Control” as
such term appears in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that the sale of RCN by Borrower under the terms of the RCN Sale shall not be treated as a Change in Control under the Credit Agreement. 

 
 4. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 7.2.9 of the Credit
Agreement, Asset Dispositions, etc, the parties acknowledge and agree that sale of RCN by Borrower under the terms of the RCN Sale shall not be treated as Disposition which violates Section 7.2.9 of the Credit Agreement. 
  

 2 

 5. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 7.2.15 of the Credit Agreement, Prepayment of the First
Mortgage Notes, the parties acknowledge and agree that prepayment of the First Mortgage Notes by Borrower in an amount up to $50,000,000 from the proceeds of the RCN Sale shall not be treated as a prepayment of the First Mortgage Notes which
violates Section 7.2.15 of the Credit Agreement. 
  
 6. To
avoid uncertainty and notwithstanding the terms of subsection (d) of Section 3.1.1 of the Credit Agreement, Repayments and Prepayments, the parties acknowledge and agree that payment by Borrower to Lenders of approximately $10,000,000
of the proceeds from the RCN Sale shall satisfy the requirements of subsection (d) of Section 3.1.1 of the Credit Agreement. 
  
 7. Notwithstanding any terms of the Credit Agreement or any terms of the Subsidiary Guaranty to the contrary, the parties acknowledge and agree that RCN
is hereby fully and finally released as a Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guaranty. 
  
 8. Notwithstanding any terms of the Credit Agreement or any terms of the Borrower Pledge and Security Agreement to the contrary, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Capital Stock of RCN and the Intercompany
Notes made by RCN to Borrower are hereby fully and finally released as Collateral (as the term is defined in the Borrower Pledge and Security Agreement) under the terms of the Borrower Pledge and Security Agreement. 
  
 9. Notwithstanding any terms of the Credit Agreement or any terms of the
Subsidiary, Pledge and Security Agreement to the contrary, the parties acknowledge and agree that RCN is hereby fully and finally released as Grantor under the Subsidiary, Pledge and Security Agreement and any Collateral (as the term is defined in
the Subsidiary, Pledge and Security Agreement) owned by RCN and the Intercompany Notes made by RCN to other Co-Borrowers are hereby fully and finally released under the terms of the Subsidiary, Pledge and Security Agreement. 
  
 10. RCN hereby fully and finally releases any and all rights, title or
interest RCN has in any Intercompany Notes made to RCN by Borrower or any other Co-Borrower. 
  
 11. By execution of this Amendment, the Lenders hereby empower and direct the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, to execute, deliver, file and record any and all documents reasonably required to complete the RCN Sale.

  
 12. This Amendment shall be effective conditioned upon (i)
execution and delivery to the Agent of this Amendment by the Borrower, the Co-Borrowers and all of the Lenders, (ii) execution and delivery to the Agent of an Opinion of Counsel by Borrower’s Counsel, a Certificate of an Authorized Officer of
the Borrower or a combination thereof, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Agent, that the RCN Sale is being made in accordance with the First Mortgage Note Documents and that legal requirements related to the RCN Sale are being
satisfied, and (iii) a Certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Agent, that all conditions to the RCN Sale becoming effective have been satisfied. 
  

 3 

 13. Notwithstanding the terms of this Amendment, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Agent and
the Lenders shall have the right at all times hereafter to require strict performance by Borrower and the Co-Borrowers of all terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, that the Agent and the Lenders do not waive, affect or diminish
any right, power or remedy of the Agent or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein and that except as expressly set forth herein, the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document shall
continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms. 
  
 14. To induce the Agent, the Collateral Agents, and the Lenders to enter into this Amendment, Borrower and the Co-Borrowers acknowledge and agree that they have no actual or potential claim or cause of action against
the Agent, the Collateral Agents and the Lenders relating to any Loan Documents or any actions or events occurring on or before the date hereof. Borrower and the Co-Borrowers waive and release any right to assert same. 
  
 13. The parties hereto agree that this Amendment shall be an integral part of
the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents, and that all of the terms set forth therein are hereby incorporated in this Amendment by reference, and that all terms of this Amendment are hereby incorporated into said Credit Agreement and other Loan
Documents, as if made an original part thereof. All of the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents, which are not modified in this Amendment, shall remain in full force and effect. To the extent the terms of this
Amendment conflict with the terms of the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents, the terms of this Amendment shall control. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment as of the day and year first hereinabove written.

conditions of this Agreement. ev3 desires to provide such services to MTI pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 
  
 Agreement 
  
 In consideration of the mutual agreements contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

  

	 1.
	 ev3 Implementation, Licenses and Services. During the term of this Agreement, ev3 shall provide the licenses and the services
described in Sections 1.3 through 1.6 below (collectively the “Services”) to MTI pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement: 

  

	 	 1.1
	 ev3 Implementation. The “ev3 Implementation” shall mean the software implementation and custom reports developed by ev3 in conjunction
with the commercially available software applications described on Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively referred to as the “Third Party Software”) which ev3 uses in connection with its sales, distribution, manufacturing and
finance processes, including but not limited to entering and printing product orders, invoices, and reports. 

	 	 1.2
	 Third Party Software and ev3 Implementation License. 

  

	 	 (a)
	 Pursuant to the Third Party Software license agreements attached hereto as Exhibit A, MTI has the right, as an affiliate of ev3, to use the Third Party
Software for its internal business purposes. MTI acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for compliance with the terms of each of the Third Party Software license agreements, a copy of each of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

  

	 	 (b)
	 ev3 hereby grants to MTI a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the ev3 Implementation during the term of this
Agreement, for use solely in connection with the MTI Database and for MTI’s own internal purposes. The license granted herein shall immediately and automatically terminate upon the termination of this Agreement. MTI acknowledges that the
ev3 Implementation is proprietary to ev3 and other third party licensors and that this Agreement does not grant to MTI any rights in the ev3 Implementation or Third Party Software other than the limited licenses granted above
and as set forth in Exhibit A. Title to the ev3 Implementation and the Third Party Software, all copies thereof and all rights therein, including all patents, copyrights and trade secrets, will remain vested in ev3 and/or the
applicable third party licensor. 

  

	 	 (c)
	 MTI agrees to compensate ev3 for the licenses set forth in this Section 1 and the related annual fees for maintenance and support as set forth in Exhibit
B attached hereto. MTI shall not modify, disassemble, decompile, or reverse engineer the Third Party Software or the ev3 Implementation, and MTI shall not attempt to transfer, sell, sublease, assign or rent any of the Third Party Software or
the ev3 Implementation or any part or modification thereof or work derived there from. MTI shall not use the Third Party Software or the ev3 Implementation in a time-sharing or service bureau environment. ev3 will advise MTI of
the recommended operating environment for successful operation of the Third Party Software and the ev3 Implementation. ev3 does not guarantee the performance of the Third Party Software, but does guarantee that it will be responsive to
MTI’s concerns about the performance of the ev3 Implementation as set forth in Section 1.4(b). MTI shall not use the Third Party Software or ev3 Implementation to access any data at ev3, which is not in the MTI Database without
ev3’s prior written consent. 

  

	 	 1.3
	 Database Development. ev3 shall use the ev3 Implementation database architecture to develop a database containing MTI’s information concerning
MTI’s distribution, manufacturing and finance processes (the “MTI Database”). The MTI Database shall be populated with reference data and transaction data provided by MTI. These data files shall be obtained by, or provided to,
ev3 by or on behalf of MTI in the format specified by ev3. The initial data shall be provided to ev3 prior to data conversion. 

  

	 	 1.4
	 Support Services. 

  

	 	 (a)
	 Database Hosting and Service Levels. During the term of this Agreement, the MTI Database shall be maintained at ev3’s data center in
Minnesota. ev3 will use commercially reasonable efforts to assure on-line availability to MTI to access the ev3 Implementation to perform functions in support of the Database Services, commensurate with the service levels ev3
maintains with respect to its own use. 

  

 2 

	 	 (b)
	 Business and Technical Resources. During the term of this Agreement, ev3 shall make available ev3 employee(s) to address questions
raised by MTI relating to the ev3 Implementation and/or Services. Such resources shall be available Monday through Friday during normal business hours, which are generally between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Central Standard Time, excluding
nationally recognized holidays. ev3 will provide MTI with a list of contacts to provide support for the ev3 Implementation. Emergency support is available twenty-fours hours per day by calling the MFG/PRO pager at (877) 552-8632, which
shall at all times be supported by ev3 personnel. ev3 will provide MTI with reasonable, on-going updates to the contact list and with prior notice of any change in the contact number(s) for after-hours support. The parties acknowledge
and agree that although ev3 will use commercially reasonable efforts to address MTI’s service questions and will respond to MTI’s requests with the same sense of urgency it applies to its own requests, ev3 does not guarantee
a specific response time. 

  

	 	 (c)
	 System Maintenance. ev3 may, but is not required, to perform system maintenance including database, software and/or hardware upgrades to maintain service
levels and as offered by Third Party Software providers. In the event an upgrade is performed either solely at MTI’s request, or solely because it is required to continue to provide services to MTI, MTI shall reimburse ev3 for the costs
it incurs. In the event an upgrade is performed by ev3 without request by MTI and in order to improve its own level of operations, ev3 shall bear its own costs. Whenever possible, ev3 shall provide MTI with reasonable prior
notice of proposed upgrades or maintenance. MTI has the right to approve or reject system upgrades, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. 

  

	 	 1.5
	 Backup. During the term of this Agreement, ev3 shall (i) perform a full system backup of the ev3 Implementation and the MTI Database,
(ii) maintain a copy of at least one (1) full backup until after the next backup is performed (but shall not be obligated to archive more than the most recent full backup), and (iv) take commercially reasonable steps to maintain data integrity in
any backup; provided however, that, notwithstanding anything contained within this Section to the contrary, nothing contained within this Agreement shall be interpreted to make ev3 responsible for loss of the MTI Database or the integrity
thereof unless ev3 has not performed its obligations required by this Section in a commercially reasonable manner, and ev3’s failure to conduct the backup in a commercially reasonable manner is the sole and direct cause of any
loss, injury or harm resulting from the loss of the MTI Database or integrity thereof. 

  

	 	 1.6
	 Optional Services. In addition to the services described in Sections 1.3 through 1.5, ev3 may also offer and MTI may request, optional
services (“Optional Services”). If MTI requests Optional Services offered by ev3, ev3 will prepare a Service Request Form identifying the services requested and the current rates for the services. MTI will
indicate acceptance of the services and rates offered by ev3 by signing the Service Request Form and returning a copy of such form to ev3. 

  

 3 

	 2.
	 MTI Obligations. In addition to the obligations of MTI stated elsewhere in this Agreement, MTI acknowledges and agrees that is shall be responsible
for the following:

 EXHIBIT B 
  
 ERP – MTI Implementation 
 Project Proposal (v1.0) 
  
 Background 
  
 ev3 has developed sales,
distribution, manufacturing and finance processes in conjunction with an ERP software (MFG/PRO) implementation. ev3 leverages a form generation package (StreamServe) to generate forms (e.g. invoices, purchase orders.) The ev3 Business Intelligence
system (under construction) is used for sales and management reporting. Micro Therapeutics (MTI) is interested in converting from their current to the ev3 platform. 
  
 Objectives 
  

	 •
	 	 Convert MTI distribution, manufacturing and financials to MFG/PRO by December 1, 2002. 

  
 Project Approach 
  
 Management Guidelines 
  

	 •
	 	 Do not re-engineer manufacturing, distribution or financial processes. Migrate current business practices to the new platform. Exceptions to this rule are
allowed when the re-engineered process is more cost effective to implement than migrating the current process. 

  

	 •
	 	 MTI staff perform majority of project work. Project participants from the Manufacturing, Quality and Finance departments assigned to the project will perform
project work and create deliverables (e.g. work instruction documentation.) The same project participants will serve as ‘Super Users’ that are responsible for conducting user training. 

  

	 •
	 	 Resolve issues and make decisions quickly. The project team will email proposal documents (i.e. Situation-Target-Proposal (STP)) to project sponsors and request
a speedy response. A non-response is treated as an acceptance of the proposal. 

  
 Project Method 
  
 The method consists of four steps: 
  

	 •
	 	 Education and training workshops – Interactive sessions involving system and business experts that serve to train Super Users and identify system
configuration requirements 

  

	 •
	 	 Conference room pilot – Interactive sessions to test the processes and system configuration 

  

	 •
	 	 User training – End user training facilitated by Super Users 

  

	 •
	 	 Go live support – Active process, training and system support for month following implementation 

  
 Business and Functional Requirements 
  
 Project Scope 
  
 The project team will ensure that all reference data necessary to perform
transaction processing is loaded prior to ‘go live.’ Examples of reference data include: 
  

			
	 MFG/PRO Menu

	 	 Examples

	 Items and Sites
	 	 Inventory locations, product lines, items, costs, list price, contract price

		
	 Address and Taxes
	 	 Customers, suppliers, sales persons, tax rates, countries

	 Product Structures
	 	 Product structure

	 Routings and Work Centers
	 	 Departments, work centers, routings, cost

	 General Ledger
	 	 Entity, account, sub-account, cost center

	 Manager Functions
	 	 Security

  
 The project team
proposes to load the following transaction data. 
  

			
	 MFG/PRO Menu

	 	 
	 Receipts – Unplanned
	 	 Load current inventory balance (FG&Raw)

	 Purchase Order Maintenance
	 	 Hand enter open and blanket POs

	 Dr/Cr Memo
	 	 Load orders with open AR

	 Sales Order Maintenance
	 	 Hand enter orders in back order status

	 Sales Order Maintenance
	 	 Hand enter orders for open returns

	 Work Order Maintenance
	 	 Hand enter any WIP

	 Forecast Maintenance
	 	 Load forecast

	 Budget Maintenance
	 	 Load budgets (optional)

	 Standard Transaction Maintenance
	 	 Load account balances for each month end

	 Accounts Receivable
	 	 Hand enter any receipts

	 Accounts Payable
	 	 Hand enter any invoices

	 	 	 Hand enter returns to vendors

  
 The term “hand
enter” indicates that the owning party from the business unit is responsible for data entry/conversion. The term “load” indicates that the project team is responsible for data conversion from current business system to MFG/PRO.

  
 No transaction history is loaded to include: Sales
orders/invoices, cash receipts, POs, vendor payments, journal entries, work orders, inventory moves etc. The project team configures the system and enters transactions to reflect a cutover (‘snap shot’) view of activity. 
  
 System Interfaces 
  
 Process to load data provided by Payroll provider into MFG/PRO Finance

 No other system-to-system interfaces are required (e.g. bar code readers, FedEx shipping software, other finance, quality, clinical
systems.) 
  
 Custom Reports 
  
 MFG/PRO contains many standard reports that will meet the majority of
business needs. The project delivers the following custom forms: 
  

	 •
	 	 Customer Facing – Order Confirmation, Shipping Document, Invoice 

  

	 •
	 	 Vendor Facing – Purchase Order 

  

	 •
	 	 Internal – Work Order Routing Documents 

  

	 •
	 	 Sales Reporting – Create a set of custom sales reports using Crystal reports.
