ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNITIES

FACILITY RATIONALISATION

8.1

If following Completion the board of JVCo resolves in accordance with the terms of the Shareholders’ Agreement to cease operations at and dispose of a production facility (at Billingham or Severnside as detailed in schedule 11 or at Ince as detailed in schedule 10) (each a “Relevant Disposal” or a “Relevant Property", respectively) the provisions of this clause 8 shall apply to the first such Relevant Property in respect of which such a resolution is passed. The party that sold to JVCo the entity with title to the Relevant Property pursuant to this agreement is referred to in this clause 8 as the “Contributing Party".

8.2

JVCo shall, in respect only of the first Relevant Property following Completion to be the subject of a resolution by the board of JVCo under clause 8.1, give written notice on each anniversary of such resolution (each a “Facility Rationalisation Costs Notice") to the relevant Contributing Party of all Costs incurred during the immediately preceding 12 month period. In addition, JVCo shall also serve a Facility Rationalisation Costs Notice on the Contributing Party on the date of completion of that Relevant Disposal covering the period from the date of the previous Facility Rationalisation Costs Notice until the date of such Facility Rationalisation Costs Notice. No Facility Rationalisation Costs Notice shall be served after the date of completion of the Relevant Disposal. The Contributing Party shall, subject to clause 8.6, pay to JVCo the amount stated in any Facility Rationalisation Costs Notice validly served in accordance with this clause 8.2 and such payment shall be made within 30 days of service of the corresponding Facility Rationalisation Costs Notice. The aggregate amount of Costs paid by the Contributing Party pursuant to this clause 8.2 is referred to in this clause 8 as the “Aggregate Facility Rationalisation Costs".

(a)

At any time following the later of (i) a resolution of the board of JVCo under clause 8.1 and (ii) the cessation of operations at the Relevant Property in question, the relevant Contributing Party may elect to acquire that Relevant Property from the relevant member of the Group for the sum of £1 and an amount equal to any Costs incurred by the Group in relation to the Relevant Property prior to such time (net of any Aggregate Facility Rationalisation Costs paid by the Contributing Party to JVCo pursuant to clause 8.2) and upon the making of such an election JVCo shall be bound to procure the transfer of title to and all rights in the Relevant Property owned or enjoyed by any member of the Group to the Contributing Party, and the Contributing Party shall be bound to acquire title to and all rights in the Relevant Property and assume all liabilities in relation to the Relevant Property, for such consideration.

(b)

At any time following the fifth anniversary of a resolution by the board of JVCo under clause 8.1, the party (other than JVCo) that is not the Contributing Party in respect of the Relevant Property may elect that the Contributing Party shall acquire that Relevant Property from the relevant member of the Group for the sum of £1 and an amount equal to any Costs incurred by the Group in relation to the Relevant Property prior to such time (net of any Aggregate Facility Rationalisation Costs paid by the Contributing Party to JVCo pursuant to clause 8.2) and upon the making of such an election JVCo shall be bound to procure the transfer of title to and all rights in the Relevant Property owned or enjoyed by any member of the Group to the Contributing Party, and the Contributing Party shall be bound to acquire title to and all rights in the Relevant Property and assume all liabilities in relation to the Relevant Property, for such consideration.

(c)

If the acquisition of a Relevant Property pursuant to clause 8.3(a) or 8.3(b) results in any Actual Tax Liability, which for the purpose of this clause 8.3 includes an Actual Tax Liability of JVCo, the relevant Contributing Party covenants to pay to JVCo an amount equal to that Actual Tax Liability on the later of (i) seven days after the demand therefor by JVCo and (ii) three days before the last day on which a payment of that Tax may be made by JVCo without incurring any liability to interest and/or penalties.

(d)

If the acquisition of a Relevant Property pursuant to clause 8.3(a) or 8.3(b) results in any allowance, credit, exemption, deduction or relief from, against or in respect of any Tax which has been used by JVCo or the Group to reduce an Actual Tax Liability of JVCo or the Group which would otherwise have become due and payable or JVCo or the Group receives a right to repayment of Tax which would not otherwise have arisen (a “Relief"), JVCo covenants to pay to the relevant Contributing Party an amount equal to such Relief within five days of the date on which (i) the Actual Tax Liability would otherwise have been due and payable or (ii) the right to repayment of Tax is received.

(e)

The provisions of clause 7 of the Kemira Tax Deed or the Terra Tax Deed, as applicable, shall apply to any claims pursuant to clauses 8.3(c) and (d) above.

8.4

If no election is made in respect of a Relevant Property under clause 8.3 and the Costs incurred by the Group in connection with the related Relevant Disposal exceed the disposal proceeds (before Tax) resulting from that Relevant Disposal, the Contributing Party shall, subject to clause 8.6, pay to JVCo the amount (if any) by which such excess exceeds £1 million. Such payment shall be made within 14 days of completion of the Relevant Disposal. Any payment made by the Contributing Party to JVCo pursuant to this clause 8.4 shall be paid net of the amount of any Aggregate Facility Rationalisation Costs paid by the Contributing Party to JVCo pursuant to clause 8.2. For the purposes of this clause 8.4, if completion of a Relevant Disposal does not occur prior to midday on the tenth anniversary of Completion, the disposal proceeds shall be deemed to be zero.

8.5

If no election is made in respect of a Relevant Property under clause 8.3 and the disposal proceeds (after Tax) resulting from the related Relevant Disposal exceed the Costs incurred by the Group in relation to that Relevant Disposal, JVCo shall, subject to clause 8.6, pay to the Contributing Party the amount (if any) by which such excess exceeds £1 million. Such payment shall be made within 14 days of completion of the Relevant Disposal.

8.7

The Contributing Party shall be entitled to direct the closure and sale process relating to any Relevant Disposal, including as to the extent to which and the manner in which any related Costs are incurred but not, for the avoidance of doubt, including any matters relating to the cessation of employment of any employees employed at the Relevant Property, provided, however, that the Contributing Party shall not be entitled to direct any action to be taken or not taken:

(a)

which conflicts in any way with any requirements of law or of any regulatory authority; or

(b)

which causes, or would in the opinion of JVCo (acting reasonably) be likely to cause, unreasonable, avoidable disruption or interruption to the operations of any member of the Group or to the operational efficiency of its business which may result from such action or which poses a material risk to worker or public health and safety.

8.8

For the purposes of this clause 8:

(a)

“Costs” shall mean all costs reasonably incurred by the Group in relation to a Relevant Disposal including all related Environmental Closure Costs but excluding any related employment redundancy costs or related pension costs in each case that are incurred by JVCo and any amount paid pursuant to clause 8.3(c);

(i)

any costs to the extent that such costs relate to contamination or pollution introduced in the course of JVCo’s operating activities after Completion and/or measures required to address any such contamination or pollution, which costs shall be for the sole account of JVCo; and

(ii)

any costs relating to the demolition or removal of buildings, removal of pipework or other structures or infrastructures including buried structures or infrastructure and/or removal of asbestos in each case to the extent that such can be safely left in situ or otherwise dealt with in a cost-effective manner in circumstances where their removal is not required to comply with Environmental Law;

(c)

“Environmental Losses” means all claims, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable professional fees incurred), losses, liabilities or penalties suffered or incurred by JVCo or by the relevant Kemira Company or Terra Company (as the case may be) after Completion to the extent arising from a breach of or liability under Environmental Law in respect of (a) Hazardous Substances in, on, at or under the Relevant Property or any part(s) thereof on or before Completion, (b) Hazardous Substances first in, on, at or under the Relevant Property or any part(s) thereof after Completion, where the damage or risk in respect of which a breach or liability arises is attributable to activities forming part of the closure process or (c) the migration of any such Hazardous Substances from the Relevant Property or any part(s) thereof (including carrying out or paying for any Relevant Property Remediation Works to the extent the same are Commercially Reasonable Expenses), but excluding: Environmental Closure Costs; any claims, costs, damages, expenses, losses, liabilities or penalties in respect of loss of anticipated profits; loss of revenue; loss of use; cost of capital; or any other loss in respect of business interruption; and

8.9

In the event there shall occur any dispute between the parties to this agreement in relation to the quantification of Costs for the purposes of this clause 8 which cannot be resolved between the parties, the dispute shall be referred to an independent firm of chartered accountants (the “Expert") appointed by agreement by JVCo and the relevant Contributing Party or, in default of agreement on such appointment, on the application of either of them by the President for the time being of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, or his duly appointed deputy. In making such determination the Expert shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator and his decision shall (in the absence of manifest error (and the Expert shall give reasons for his determination)) be final and binding on such parties. Each such party shall bear the costs and expenses of all counsel and other advisers, witnesses and employees retained by it and the costs and expenses of the Expert shall be borne by such parties in the proportions he may direct or, in the absence of direction, equally. Subject to any rule of law or of any regulatory authority to the contrary, JVCo and the relevant Contributing Party shall, to the extent they are able to do so, afford as soon as reasonably practicable upon request to the other and their respective agents and to the Expert all facilities and access to any premises, personal papers, books, accounts, records, returns and other documents as may be required by the Expert to make his determination. In the event of any dispute as to the need for, nature or extent of any Environmental Closure Costs or Environmental Losses, the parties shall apply the provisions of paragraph 11 of schedule 13 mutatis mutandis to such dispute save that references to Indemnifying Party shall be construed as references to the relevant Contributing Party.

dispose of any Relevant Property without complying with the foregoing provisions of this clause 8;

incur any Environmental Closure Costs or any Relevant Property Remediation Works at a Relevant Property otherwise than at the direction of the relevant Contributing Party under clause 8.7 or with the consent of the relevant Contributing Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or in an emergency or where required by a regulatory authority acting within its powers under Environmental Law;

(c)

except in an emergency, approach or initiate communications with any regulatory authority in relation to the closure of such Relevant Property without the consent of the relevant Contributing Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or

(d)

except to the extent required by Environmental Law or any Environmental Consent or any competent authority or in response to an emergency, take any action or omit to take any action without the consent of the relevant Contributing Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) which it is known by JVCo or the relevant Group Company at the time of the act or omission will increase, or would be reasonably likely to increase, the liability of any Contributing Party under the foregoing provisions of this clause 8.

8.11

The Contributing Party shall indemnify and keep indemnified JVCo (for itself and on behalf of the applicable Terra Companies or Kemira Companies) in respect of all Environmental Losses incurred in relation to the Relevant Property, provided always that JVCo shall not be entitled to claim under this indemnity unless JVCo or the applicable Terra Company or Kemira Company has received a Claim in respect of the matter giving rise to such Environmental Losses.

8.12

JVCo shall provide written notice to the Contributing Party of any matter of which it or any Terra Company or Kemira Company becomes aware which gives rise to or is reasonably likely to give rise to a claim under clause 8.11 above and shall notify the Contributing Party immediately upon receipt of a Claim in relation to any such matter, provided that failure to give or delay in giving notice under this clause 8 shall not invalidate JVCo’s right to claim in respect of such matter under this indemnity, except and only to the extent that such failure or delay increases the penalties, losses, costs, claims, expenses, liabilities and damages which it seeks to recover under clause 8.11.

8.13

The Contributing Party shall have no liability under the indemnity at clause 8.11 to the extent that any claim by JVCo would not have arisen but for, results from or is increased by:

any act or omission by JVCo or any Terra Company or Kemira Company after Completion except for (i) those acts or omissions that are in the normal lawful course of the Activities as at the date of this agreement and (ii) those acts or omissions that are undertaken in the course of the cessation of operations and/or closure of the Relevant Property pursuant to this clause 8;

(b)

information voluntarily given by JVCo or any Terra Company or Kemira Company or by Terra or Kemira to a regulatory body, governmental agency or third party other than where:

(i)

the disclosure is required to be given in order to comply with law or in connection with any Environmental Consent or otherwise in response to a request by a regulatory authority acting within its powers under Environmental Law;

(ii)

the disclosure is reasonably necessary in an emergency to avoid or mitigate Environmental Losses;

(iii)

the disclosure is reasonably necessary in the course of the cessation of operations and/or closure of the Relevant Property pursuant to this clause 8; or

(c)

any acts or omissions by JVCo or any Group Company at the Relevant Property (including the carrying out of investigative, sampling or monitoring works) which result in disturbance of or interference with any Hazardous Substance (other than where such acts or omissions form a necessary part of or precursor to the Activities or to Ordinary Course Construction or are reasonably necessary in the course of the cessation of operations and/or closure of the Relevant Property and/or an emergency (to avoid or mitigate Environmental Losses) or are required by a competent authority or under Environmental Law or Environmental Consents); or

any laws (other than the implementation into UK law of the EU environmental liability directive) whose purpose is the protection of or prevention of harm to the Environment and which come into force after Completion.

8.14

The relevant Indemnifying Party shall have no liability under the indemnity at clause 8.11 in respect of any Environmental Loss to the extent that such loss has been properly budgeted for in the Business Plan or forms part of Environmental Closure Costs or is an Aggregate Facility Rationalisation Cost.

8.15

Any payment made by JVCo or a Contributing Party pursuant to this clause 8 shall for all purposes be deemed to be and shall take effect as a reduction or increase in the Kemira Consideration or the Terra Consideration as the case may be.

19.1		Save in respect of the Terra Nitrogen (UK) Pension Scheme, the stakeholder scheme with Norwich Union and the Fatality Scheme (the “Disclosed Schemes"), the Company has no obligation, nor has it done anything to create any reasonable expectation of an obligation, to provide (or contribute towards any scheme which provides) pension or death benefits, whether voluntary, ex-gratia or otherwise, in respect of any employee or former employee.

19.3		All material details of the Disclosed Schemes (and any Former Scheme) have been supplied to Kemira and all the information and documents which have been given or made available to Kemira or its advisers relating to the Disclosed Schemes (or any Former Scheme) are true, complete, accurate and not misleading.

19.8		Neither Terra nor the Company has been a party to any act or deliberate failure to act occurring on or after 27 April 2004 of which the main purpose or one of the main purposes was:

21.2		Liability

		The Company, including in respect of the Terra Properties, complies and has at all times in the last three years complied with all Environmental Laws in all material respects and so far as Terra is aware there are no existing facts or circumstances which would prevent compliance with any Environmental Laws in any material respect within 18 months of the date hereof.

SCHEDULE 8

Kemira’s Limitations on Liability

1.		TIME LIMIT FOR CLAIMS

1.1		Save in the case of any liability based upon fraud by Kemira and including without limitation fraudulent concealment by Kemira, Kemira shall not be liable in respect of a claim under the Kemira Warranties unless written notice of such claim is served upon Kemira:

	(a)		in the case of a claim under the Kemira Warranties (other than the Warranties relating to Tax and the Kemira Environmental Warranties), by not later than 5.00 p.m. on the second anniversary of Completion;

	(b)		in the case of a claim under the Kemira Environmental Warranties, by not later than 5.00 p.m. on the third anniversary of Completion; and

and the liability of Kemira shall further determine (if such claim has not previously been satisfied, settled or withdrawn):

	(i)		where the claim is based upon what at the time of service of the notice is a contingent liability; or

	(ii)		JVCo is taking or has taken action at the request of Kemira pursuant to paragraph 5 of this schedule 8 in connection with such claim,

if legal proceedings in respect of such claim have not been commenced within 12 months of such claim ceasing to be contingent or JVCo ceasing to take such action (as the case may be) or with regard to any other claim if legal proceedings in respect of such a claim have not been commenced within 12 months of the service of such notice.

2.		MONETARY LIMIT ON CLAIMS

2.1		Save in the case of fraud or fraudulent concealment by Kemira, Kemira shall be under no liability in respect of any claim under the Kemira Warranties:

	(a)		where the liability of Kemira in respect of that claim would (but for this paragraph) have been less than £100,000 (provided that two or more smaller claims arising out of the same facts or circumstances shall be treated as one claim for the purposes of this paragraph 2.1(a)); or

	(b)		unless and until and only to the extent that the liability in respect of that claim (not being a claim for which liability is excluded under paragraph 2.1(a) above) when aggregated with the liability of Kemira in respect of all other such claims and all other claims for which Kemira is liable under schedule 13 of this agreement shall exceed £1 million, in which case Kemira shall be liable for the full amount and not just the excess.

2.2

Save in the case of fraud or fraudulent concealment by Kemira, the aggregate liability of Kemira in respect of all claims under the Kemira Warranties and the Kemira Tax Deed shall not in any circumstances exceed £20 million. (For the avoidance of doubt, the financial limit on Kemira’s maximum aggregate liability of £20 million in respect of the Kemira Warranties and the Kemira Tax Deed is a separate limitation from the maximum aggregate liability of £20 million of Kemira under the Environmental Indemnity set out in paragraph 3.2 of schedule 13 of this agreement.)


3.		DISCLOSURE

		Kemira shall not be liable in respect of a claim under the Kemira Warranties to the extent that the same or circumstances giving rise thereto are fairly disclosed in the Kemira Disclosure Letter. No letter, document or other communication shall be deemed to be disclosed except and to the extent that the same is referred to in, and a copy attached to or deemed to be attached to, the Kemira Disclosure Letter. Nothing in the Kemira Disclosure Letter shall constitute a representation or warranty as to the accuracy of the information forming part of the Kemira Disclosure Letter.

4.		NO LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN EVENTS

4.1		Kemira shall not be liable in respect of a claim under the Kemira Warranties to the extent that:

	(b)		the loss or damage giving rise to the claim is recovered by any member of the Group under any policy of insurance (net of Tax and any costs of recovery); or

	(c)		the claim is for Taxation which arises in respect of the ordinary course of business of any Kemira Company after the Kemira Accounts Date; or

	(d)		the claim relates to a claim or liability for Taxation and would not have arisen but for any winding-up or cessation after Completion of any business or trade carried on by the Group except to the extent that such winding-up or cessation is occasioned by the facts or circumstances giving rise to one or more claims under the Kemira Warranties.

5.		THIRD PARTIES

5.1		This paragraph 5 shall apply in circumstances where:

	(a)		any claim is made against any member of the Group which should reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim by JVCo against Kemira under the Kemira Warranties; or

	(b)		any member of the Group should reasonably be expected to be able to make recovery from some other person of any sum in respect of any facts or circumstances by reference to which JVCo has or should be reasonably expected to have a claim against Kemira under the Kemira Warranties; or

	(c)		Kemira has paid to JVCo an amount in respect of a claim under the Kemira Warranties and subsequent to the making of such payment JVCo recovers from some other person a sum which is referable to that payment.

			For the avoidance of doubt any claim under the Kemira Warranties relating to Tax shall be governed by paragraph 4 of the Kemira Tax Deed.

5.2

JVCo shall:

	(a)		in the case of paragraphs 5.1(a) and 5.1(b) prior to taking any action (other than the giving of notice pursuant to paragraph 1 of this schedule 8) against Kemira under the Kemira Warranties (and subject to JVCo being indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction against all costs and expenses which may be incurred by reason of such action) take all such action as Kemira may reasonably request in writing including the institution of proceedings and the instruction of professional advisers approved in writing by Kemira to act on behalf of JVCo to avoid, dispute, resist, compromise, defend or appeal against any such claim against JVCo as is referred to in paragraph 5.1(a) or to make such recovery by JVCo as is referred to in paragraph 5.1(b), as the case may be;

	(b)		subject to JVCo being indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction against all costs and expenses which may be incurred by reason of such action, not settle or compromise any liability or claim to which such action is referable without the prior written consent of Kemira which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and

	(c)		in the case of paragraph 5.1(c) only, repay to Kemira an amount equal to the amount recovered upon receipt or, if lower, the amount paid by Kemira to JVCo less, in either case, any amount payable by JVCo in respect of Tax on the amount recovered.

6.		MITIGATION

		JVCo will take or procure the taking of all such reasonable steps as are required by law in order to mitigate any claim under the Kemira Warranties, subject to JVCo being indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction against all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith.

7.		CURING PERIOD

		No liability will arise and no claim may be made under any of the Kemira Warranties to the extent that the matter giving rise to such claim is remediable unless within the period of 30 days following JVCo becoming aware of such matter JVCo shall have given written notice thereof to Kemira and such matter shall not have been remedied to the reasonable satisfaction of JVCo within the period of 30 days following the date of service of such notice.

8.		NO DOUBLE COUNTING

		JVCo shall not be entitled, pursuant to any provision of a Transaction Document, to claim or recover the amount of any loss, damage, liability, cost or expenses which it has incurred or suffered, or any amount to which it would otherwise be entitled under any such provision, to the extent that it has recovered such amount pursuant to another provision in the Transaction Documents.

9.		INSURANCE

		In the event that Kemira at any time after the date hereof shall wish to take out insurance against its liability hereunder, JVCo will undertake all reasonable endeavours to provide such information as the prospective insurer may require before effecting such insurance.

	(a)		in the case of a claim under the Terra Warranties (other than the Warranties relating to Tax and the Terra Environmental Warranties), by not later than 5.00 p.m. on the second anniversary of Completion;

	(b)		in the case of a claim under the Terra Environmental Warranties, by not later than 5.00 p.m. on the third anniversary of Completion; and

	(c)		in the case of a claim under the Terra Warranties relating to Tax or under the Terra Tax Deed, by not later than 5.00 p.m. on the day one month after the seventh anniversary of Completion,

and the liability of Terra shall further determine (if such claim has not previously been satisfied, settled or withdrawn):

	(i)		where the claim is based upon what at the time of service of the notice is a contingent liability; or

	(ii)		JVCo is taking or has taken action at the request of Terra pursuant to paragraph 5 of this schedule 9 in connection with such claim,

2.		MONETARY LIMIT ON CLAIMS

2.1		Save in the case of fraud or fraudulent concealment by Terra, Terra shall be under no liability in respect of any claim under the Terra Warranties:

	(a)		where the liability of Terra in respect of that claim would (but for this paragraph) have been less than £100,000 (provided that two or more smaller claims arising out of the same facts or circumstances shall be treated as one claim for the purposes of this paragraph 2.1(a)); or

	(b)		unless and until and only to the extent that the liability in respect of that claim (not being a claim for which liability is excluded under paragraph 2.1(a) above) when aggregated with the liability of Terra in respect of all other such claims and all other claims for which Terra is liable under schedule 13 of this agreement shall exceed £1 million, in which case Terra shall be liable for the full amount and not just the excess.

2.2

Save in the case of fraud or fraudulent concealment by Terra, the aggregate liability of Terra in respect of all claims under the Terra Warranties and the Terra Tax Deed shall not in any circumstances exceed £20 million. (For the avoidance of doubt, the financial limit on Terra’s maximum aggregate liability of £20 million in respect of the Terra Warranties and the Terra Tax Deed is a separate limitation from the maximum aggregate liability of £20 million of Terra under the Environmental Indemnity set out in paragraph 3.2 of schedule 13 of this agreement.)

3.		DISCLOSURE

		Terra shall not be liable in respect of a claim under the Terra Warranties to the extent that the same or circumstances giving rise thereto are fairly disclosed in the Terra Disclosure Letter. No letter, document or other communication shall be deemed to be disclosed except and to the extent that the same is referred to in, and a copy attached to or deemed to be attached to, the Terra Disclosure Letter. Nothing in the Terra Disclosure Letter shall constitute a representation or warranty as to the accuracy of the information forming part of the Terra Disclosure Letter.

4.		NO LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN EVENTS

4.1		Terra shall not be liable in respect of a claim under the Terra Warranties to the extent that:

	(a)		the claim or the events giving rise to the claim would not have arisen but for an act, omission or transaction carried out by or at the request of or with the informed consent of Kemira or JVCo prior to Completion; or

	(b)		the loss or damage giving rise to the claim is recovered by any member of the Group under any policy of insurance (net of Tax and any costs of recovery); or

	(c)		the claim is for Taxation which arises in respect of the ordinary course of business of the Terra Company after the Terra Accounts Date; or

	(d)		the claim relates to a claim or liability for taxation and would not have arisen but for any winding-up or cessation after Completion of any business or trade carried on by the Group except to the extent that such winding-up or cessation is occasioned by the facts or circumstances giving rise to one or more claims under the Terra Warranties.

5.		THIRD PARTIES

5.1		This paragraph 5 shall apply in circumstances where:

	(a)		any claim is made against any member of the Group which should reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim by JVCo against Terra under the Terra Warranties; or

	(b)		any member of the Group should reasonably be expected to be able to make recovery from some other person of any sum in respect of any facts or circumstances by reference to which JVCo has or should be reasonably expected to have a claim against Terra under the Terra Warranties; or

	(c)		Terra has paid to JVCo an amount in respect of a claim under the Terra Warranties and subsequent to the making of such payment JVCo recovers from some other person a sum which is referable to that payment.

	For the avoidance of doubt any claim under the Terra Warranties relating to Tax shall be governed by paragraph 4 of the Terra Tax Deed.

5.2

JVCo shall:

(a)

in the case of paragraphs 5.1(a) and 5.1(b) prior to taking any action (other than the giving of notice pursuant to paragraph 1 of this schedule 9) against Terra under the Terra Warranties (and subject to JVCo being indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction against all costs and expenses which may be incurred by reason of such action) take all such action as Terra may reasonably request in writing including the institution of proceedings and the instruction of professional advisers approved in writing by Terra to act on behalf of JVCo to avoid, dispute, resist, compromise, defend or appeal against any such claim against JVCo as is referred to in paragraph 5.1(a) or to make such recovery by JVCo as is referred to in paragraph 5.1(b), as the case may be;

	(b)		subject to JVCo being indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction against all costs and expenses which may be incurred by reason of such action, not settle or compromise any liability or claim to which such action is referable without the prior written consent of Terra which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and

	(c)		in the case of paragraph 5.1(c) only, repay to Terra an amount equal to the amount recovered upon receipt or, if lower, the amount paid by Terra to JVCo less, in either case, any amount payable by JVCo in respect of Tax on the amount recovered.

6.		MITIGATION

		JVCo will take or procure the taking of all such reasonable steps as are required by law in order to mitigate any claim under the Terra Warranties, subject to JVCo being indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction against all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith.

7.		CURING PERIOD

		No liability will arise and no claim may be made under any of the Terra Warranties to the extent that the matter giving rise to such claim is remediable unless within the period of 30 days following JVCo becoming aware of such matter JVCo shall have given written notice thereof to Terra and such matter shall not have been remedied to the reasonable satisfaction of JVCo within the period of 30 days following the date of service of such notice.

8.		NO DOUBLE COUNTING

		JVCo shall not be entitled, pursuant to any provision of a Transaction Document, to claim or recover the amount of any loss, damage, liability, cost or expenses which it has incurred or suffered, or any amount to which it would otherwise be entitled under any such provision, to the extent that it has recovered such amount pursuant to another provision in the Transaction Documents.

9.		INSURANCE

		In the event that Terra at any time after the date hereof shall wish to take out insurance against its liability hereunder, JVCo will undertake all reasonable endeavours to provide such information as the prospective insurer may require before effecting such insurance.

2.3		Any payment due under paragraph 2.1 and/or paragraph 2.2 shall be made by way of telegraphic transfer in immediately available funds to such bank account as is notified by Terra to JVCo for such purpose.

3.		DETERMINATION OF 2008 EBITDA

3.1		For the purpose of determining the 2008 EBITDA, JVCo shall prepare and deliver draft 2008 Accounts and a draft statement of the 2008 EBITDA as derived from the 2008 Accounts (the “Draft Financial Statements") to Terra as soon as reasonably practicable following 31 December 2008 and in any event not later than 45 Business Days from 31 December 2008.

3.2		Terra shall notify JVCo within 30 Business Days of receipt of the Draft Financial Statements whether or not it accepts the Draft Financial Statements for the purposes of this schedule 12.

3.3		If Terra notifies JVCo in writing that it does not accept the Draft Financial Statements (a “Terra Disagreement Notice"):

	(a)		Terra shall, at the same time, set out in a notice in writing the reasons in reasonable detail for such non-acceptance and proposed adjustments which, in the opinion of Terra, should be made to the Draft Financial Statements in order to comply with the requirements of this schedule 12 and deliver a copy of such notice to JVCo; and

	(b)		Terra and JVCo shall use all reasonable endeavours to meet and discuss the objections of Terra and shall attempt in good faith to reach agreement upon the adjustments (if any) required to be made to the Draft Financial Statements.

3.4

If JVCo and Terra reach agreement on the Draft Financial Statements (either as originally submitted or after adjustments agreed between Terra and JVCo) or if Terra fails to notify JVCo of the non-acceptance of the Draft Financial Statements within the 30 Business Day period referred to in paragraph 3.2, then the Draft Financial Statements (incorporating any agreed adjustments) shall become the Final Financial Statements and shall determine the 2008 EBITDA for the purposes of this agreement.

3.5

If Terra and JVCo do not reach agreement within 20 Business Days of Terra’s notice of non-acceptance pursuant to paragraph 3.2, then the matters in dispute and in respect of which details have been provided by Terra to JVCo at the time that it notified JVCo that it did not accept the Draft Financial Statements in accordance with paragraph 3.3(a) above (and only those) shall be referred, on the application of either party, for determination by the Reporting Accountants.

3.6

Within 21 days of appointing the Reporting Accountants, JVCo may by notice to Terra indicate that, in light of the fact that Terra has not accepted the Draft Financial Statements in their entirety, it wishes the Reporting Accountants to consider matters relating to the Draft Financial Statements in addition to those specified in the Terra Disagreement Notice, such notice stating in reasonable detail the reasons why and in what respects JVCo believes that the Draft Financial Statements should be altered (the “JVCo’s Disagreement Notice").

3.7

The Reporting Accountants shall be engaged jointly by Terra and JVCo on the terms set out in this paragraph 3 and otherwise on such terms as shall be agreed; provided that neither Terra nor JVCo shall unreasonably (having regard, inter alia, to the provisions of this paragraph 3) refuse its agreement to terms proposed by the Reporting Accountants or by the other party. If the terms of engagement of the Reporting Accountants have not been settled within 45 days of their identity having been determined (or such longer period as Terra and JVCo may agree) then, unless Terra or JVCo is unreasonably refusing agreement to those terms, those accountants shall be deemed never to have become the Reporting Accountants and new Reporting Accountants shall be selected in accordance with the provisions of this agreement.

3.8

Except to the extent that JVCo and Terra agree otherwise, the Reporting Accountants shall determine their own procedure but:

(a)

apart from procedural matters and as otherwise set out in this agreement the Reporting Accountants shall determine only:

		(i)		whether any of the arguments for an alteration to the Draft Financial Statements put forward in the Terra Disagreement Notice or JVCo’s Disagreement Notice is correct in whole or in part; and

		(ii)		if so, what alterations should be made to the Draft Financial Statements in order to correct the relevant inaccuracy in it;

		(b)		shall apply the principles set out in paragraph 7 of this schedule;

		(c)		shall make their determination pursuant to paragraph 3.8(a) above as soon as is reasonably practicable;

		(d)		the procedure of the Reporting Accountants shall:

		(i)		give JVCo and/or JVCo’s accountants and Terra and/or Terra’s accountants a reasonable opportunity to make written and oral representations to them on the matters in dispute to them;

		(ii)		require that each of JVCo and Terra supply the other with a copy of any written representations at the same time as they are made to the Reporting Accountants;

		(iii)		permit each party to be present while oral submissions are being made by the other party; and

		(iv)		for the avoidance of doubt, the Reporting Accountants shall not be entitled to determine the scope of their own jurisdiction.

3.9

The determination of the Reporting Accountants pursuant to paragraph 3.8(a) shall:

		(a)		be made in writing and be made available for collection by JVCo and Terra at the offices of the Reporting Accountants at such time as they shall determine;

		(b)		state what adjustments (if any) are necessary to the Financial Statements in respect of the matters in dispute in order to comply with the requirements of this schedule 12; and

		(c)		unless otherwise agreed by JVCo and Terra, include reasons for each relevant determination.

3.10

The Reporting Accountants shall act as experts (and not as arbitrators) and their determination of any matter falling within their jurisdiction shall be final and binding on the parties save in the absence of manifest error (when the relevant part of their determination shall be void and the matter shall be remitted to the Reporting Accountants for correction). In particular, without limitation, their determination shall be deemed to be incorporated into the Draft Financial Statements.

3.11

Each party shall bear the costs and expenses of all counsel and other advisers, witnesses and employees retained by it and the costs and the expenses of the Reporting Accountants shall be borne between Terra and JVCo in such proportions as the firm shall in its discretion determine or, in the absence of any such determination, equally.

3.12

When Terra and JVCo reach (or pursuant to paragraph 3.4 are deemed to reach) agreement on the Draft Financial Statements or when the Draft Financial Statements are finally determined at any stage in accordance with the procedures set out in this paragraph 3, the Draft Financial Statements as so agreed or determined shall determine the 2008 EBITDA for the purposes of this agreement and shall be final and binding on JVCo and Terra.

3.13

JVCo and Terra shall co-operate with the Reporting Accountants and comply with their reasonable requests made in connection with the carrying out of their duties under this agreement. In particular, without limitation, JVCo shall keep up-to-date and, subject to reasonable notice, make available during normal office hours to the Reporting Accountants all books and records relating to the Group as the Reporting Accountants may reasonably request during the period from the appointment of the Reporting Accountants down to the making of the relevant determination.

3.14

Nothing in this schedule shall entitle a party or the Reporting Accountants access to any information or document which is protected by legal professional privilege or litigation privilege, provided that neither JVCo nor Terra shall be entitled to refuse to supply such part or parts of documents as contain only the facts on which the relevant claim or argument is based.

3.15

Each of JVCo and Terra and the Reporting Accountants shall, and shall procure that its accountants and other advisers shall, keep all information and documents provided to them pursuant to this paragraph 3 confidential and shall not use the same for any purpose, except for disclosure or use in connection with the preparation of the Draft Financial Statements, the proceedings of the Reporting Accountants or another matter arising out of this agreement or in defending any claim or argument or alleged claim or argument relating to this agreement or its subject matter.

4.		DETERMINATION OF 2009 EBITDA

		For the purposes of determining the 2009 EBITDA, the provisions of paragraph 3 shall apply mutatis mutandis save that references to 2008 therein shall be deemed to be references to 2009 and references to 2009 therein shall be deemed to be references to 2010.

5.		DETERMINATION OF 2010 EBITDA

		For the purposes of determining the 2010 EBITDA, the provisions of paragraph 3 shall apply mutatis mutandis save that references to 2008 therein shall be deemed to be references to 2010 and references to 2009 therein shall be deemed to be references to 2011.

6.		PROTECTION

6.1
