On June 30, 2010, Terra Nitrogen Company, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“TNCLP”), entered into a waiver (the “Waiver”), among Terra Nitrogen, Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”), TNCLP, Terra Nitrogen GP, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“TNGP”), the Lenders (as defined below), the Issuers (as defined below) and Citicorp USA, Inc., as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders and the Issuers (in such capacities, the “Administrative Agent”) to the Credit Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2004 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, including previous amendments thereto, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, TNCLP, the financial institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders (the “Lenders”), the financial institutions from time to time party thereto as issuing banks (the “Issuers”) and the Administrative Agent. The Waiver provides that the Lenders and the Administrative Agent waive the Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement) event of default under the Credit Agreement (the “Specified Default”) until September 28, 2010 arising as a result of the consummation of the acquisition (the “CF Acquisition”) contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 12, 2010, by and among CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (“CF”), Composite Merger Corporation, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of CF, and Terra Industries, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Terra”). As a result of the CF Acquisition, Terra is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of CF. The Borrower, TNCLP and TNGP are indirect subsidiaries of Terra. The Waiver further provides that immediately following September 28, 2010, the Specified Default shall become an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement thereby permitting the Lenders to terminate all commitments thereunder. The Credit Agreement provides the Borrower with a revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million. The Borrower may borrow an amount generally based on eligible cash balances, 85 percent of eligible accounts receivable and 60 percent of eligible finished goods inventory, less outstanding letters of credit. The description of the Waiver contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Waiver, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
