FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE
          The First Supplemental Indenture (the “First Supplemental Indenture”) is made and entered into this December 4, 2009, by and among Terra Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Terra Industries Inc., a Maryland corporation, as parent guarantor (the “Parent”), each of the subsidiaries of the Company listed in Appendix I attached hereto (each, together with the Parent, the “Existing Guarantors”), Terra LP Holdings LLC (the “New Guarantor”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee under the Indenture referred to below (the “Trustee”).
W I T N E S S E T H
          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.
