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 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; and

(iv) Other G&A Costs. The Payment Amount will include a pro rata share of all other general and administrative costs, but excluding any Share-Based Compensation, relating to the Services Recipients incurred by Rentech or its Affiliates, based on any commercially reasonable allocation methodology selected by Rentech.

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.

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 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 SERVICES RECIPIENTS TO THE DATE OF REFUND BY RENTECH.

(a) the Services Recipients may (i) pay such employee directly, or (ii) employ such employee directly; and

(b) Rentech shall reimburse GP, MLP or Operating Company, as the case may be, for the amount GP, MLP or Operating Company, as applicable, paid to Rentech with respect to employee services for which Rentech did not pay any such employee; provided that, at any time, Rentech may elect to satisfy such obligation by setting-off and applying the amount of such reimbursement against any Payment Amount or other amount owed by GP, MLP or Operating Company to Rentech under this Agreement.
