     WHEREAS, the Trustee and the Sponsor heretofore entered into a Trust Agreement dated January 1, 1998 (and subsequently amended as of March 24, 1998), with regard to The Scotts Company
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”); and

     WHEREAS, the Trustee and the Sponsor now desire to amend said Trust Agreement as provided for
in Section 14 thereof;

provided in Section 10.
	 
	2.	 	Adding the following new subsection to Section 13:

     (d) Any property (including Sponsor Stock) contributed to the Trust by an Affiliate or
the Sponsor to meet any liability accrued by Plan participants who are employed by the
Affiliate will be subject to the terms of this Section, which will be applied to this
property as if the term “Affiliate or Sponsor or both” is substituted for the term “Sponsor”
wherever it appears in Section 13(a) through (c).

 

 

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee and the Sponsor have caused this Fifth Amendment to be
executed by their duly authorized officers effective as of the day and year first above written.
