          WHEREAS Terra Capital, Inc. (the “Company”), Terra Industries Inc., a Maryland corporation
(“Parent”), certain of Parent’s subsidiaries and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, are
parties to an Indenture (as such may be amended from time to time, the “Indenture”), dated as of
October 26, 2009, relating to the Company’s 7.75% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”);

          WHEREAS Section 4.5 and Section 10.7 of the Indenture require the Company to cause each new
Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Foreign Subsidiary) to execute and deliver to the Trustee a
supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee
all of the Company’s obligations under the Indenture and the Notes;

          WHEREAS pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Indenture, the Company and the Trustee can execute the
First Supplemental Indenture without consent of holders.

          NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is acknowledged, the
undersigned hereby agrees to guarantee the Company’s obligations under the Notes on the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in Article 10 of the Indenture. From and after the date
hereof, the undersigned shall be a Guarantor for all purposes under the Indenture and the Notes as
follows:

          1. Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

          2. Agreement to Guarantee. The New Guarantor hereby agrees to guarantee the Company’s
obligations under the Notes on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Article 10 of
the Indenture. From and after the date hereof, the New Guarantor shall be a Guarantor for all
purposes under the Indenture and the Notes.

          3. Incorporation of Terms of Indenture. The obligations of the New Guarantor under
the Guarantee shall be governed in all respects by the terms of the Indenture and shall constitute
a Guarantee thereunder. The New Guarantor shall be bound by the terms of the Indenture as they
relate to the Guarantee.

 

 

          4. No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees or Stockholders. No
director, officer, employee, member or stockholder of the New Guarantor, as such, will have any
liability for any obligations of the Company, any Existing Guarantor or the New Guarantor under the
Notes, the Indenture, the Guarantees, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of,
such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases
the Company, each Existing Guarantor and the New Guarantor from all such liability. The waiver and
release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Guarantee by the New Guarantor.

          5. GOVERNING LAW. THE FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE
CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

          6. Counterparts. The First Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original; but all such counterparts shall together
constitute but one and the same instrument.

          7. Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall
not affect the construction hereof.

          8. Trustee. The recitals contained herein shall be taken as the statements of the
Company, the Existing Guarantors and the New Guarantor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility
for their correctness.

Exhibit 10.1

First Amendment

to the

DTE Energy Company Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan

(Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2005)

Recitals

A. DTE Energy Company (the “Company”) adopted the DTE Energy Company Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan (Amended
and Restated Effective January 1, 2005) (the “Plan”) to enable the Company to attract and retain executives.

B. The Organization and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to
amend the Plan.

C. By a resolution properly adopted on December 2, 2009, the Committee amended the Plan to provide for forfeiture of
unpaid Plan benefits upon a participant’s violation of certain covenants.

Plan Amendment

Effective December 2, 2009, the DTE Energy Company Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan (Amended and Restated
Effective January 1, 2005) is amended by adding new Section 7.04 as follows:

7.04 Forfeiture for Violation of Covenants.

(a) This Section 7.04 supersedes any conflicting provision of the Plan.

(b) This Section 7.04 applies to Compensation Credits and Discretionary Contributions, and related
earnings and losses, credited to a Participant’s Account as of any date after December 31, 2009.

(c) This Section 7.04 applies to the portion of a Frozen MSBP Participant’s MSBP benefit or a
Grandfathered MSBP Participant’s MSBP benefit (as computed under Section 5.01) in excess of the Participant’s
MSBP benefit computed as if the Participant voluntarily terminated employment on December 31, 2009.

(d) Any amounts described in Section 7.04(b) or 7.04(c) that have not been distributed at the time a
Participant or former Participant violates any covenant imposed on the Participant or former Participant under
a Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement or a Confidentiality and Non-Solicitation Agreement (as
determined under the Agreement’s terms) are immediately forfeited. For purposes of this Section 7.04(d), any
annual installments or annuity payments that have not been paid to a Participant or former Participant are
treated as not distributed and as forfeitable even if the Participant or former Participant has already
received one or more annual installments or annuity payments at the time the Participant or former Participant
violates a covenant described in this Section 7.04(d). The Participant or former Participant is required to repay to the Plan any
amounts paid to the Participant or former Participant after the time the Participant or former Participant
violated a covenant described in this Section 7.04(d).
