(a)		except as contemplated in Article 12, Article 13, Article 15, Section 17.1 and obligations to pay the Standby Fee, if applicable, which shall survive termination of this Agreement, such termination shall be without liability of any Party to any other Party to this Agreement and the Parties shall be released from all of their obligations under this Agreement; and

11.3 Standby Fee

          Provided this Agreement has not been terminated by Vendor as a result of a material breach of any of Purchaser’s representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement, or that Closing has not failed to occur as a result of the non-fulfillment of one or more of the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 4.1(c), 4.1(d), and 4.1(i) (insofar as the non-fulfillment of the condition set forth in Section 4.1(i) relates to a Purchaser Required Approval), Vendor shall pay to Purchaser a fee (the “Standby Fee”) equal to the product of:

(a)

the number of complete calendar months (plus a pro rata amount for any partial calendar months) between:

	(i)		May 1, 2010; and
	(ii)		the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms or the Closing Date; multiplied by:

(b)		the Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.1, in the event the Closing occurs (or $237,000,000 in the event this Agreement is terminated prior to Closing); multiplied by

12.3 Procedure — Indemnities

          The following procedures shall be applicable to any Claim by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or the Vendor Indemnified Parties, as applicable (the “Indemnitee”) for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement from the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnitor”) in respect of a Claim by a Third Party:

(a)		upon the Third Party claim being made against or commenced against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall within 10 Business Days of its receipt thereof provide notice thereof to the Indemnitor. The notice shall describe the Third Party claim in reasonable detail and indicate the estimated amount, if practicable, of the indemnifiable losses that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnitee in respect thereof. If the Indemnitee does not provide notice to the Indemnitor within such 10 Business Day period, then such failure shall only lessen or limit the Indemnitee’s rights to indemnity hereunder to the extent that the defence of the Third Party claim was prejudiced by such lack of timely notice;
(b)		if the Indemnitor acknowledges to the Indemnitee in writing that the Indemnitor is responsible to indemnify the Indemnitee in respect of the Third Party claim pursuant hereto, the Indemnitor shall have the right to do either or both of the following:

	(i)		assume carriage of the defence of the Third Party claim using legal counsel of its choice and at its sole cost; and/or
	(ii)		settle the Third Party claim provided the Indemnitor pays the full monetary amount of the settlement and the settlement does not impose any restrictions or obligations on the Indemnitee;

(c)		the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall co-operate with the other in the defence of the Third Party claim, including making available to the other, its directors, officers, employees and consultants whose assistance, testimony or presence is of material assistance in evaluation and defending the Third Party claim;
(d)		the Indemnitee shall not enter into any settlement, consent order or other compromise with respect to the Third Party claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless the Indemnitee waives its rights to indemnification in respect of the Third Party claim;
(e)		upon payment of the Third Party claim, the Indemnitor shall be subrogated to all claims the Indemnitee may have relating thereto. The Indemnitee shall give such further assurances and co-operate with the Indemnitor to permit the Indemnitor to pursue such subrogated claims as reasonably requested by it; and
(f)		if the Indemnitor has paid an amount pursuant to the indemnification obligations herein and the Indemnitee shall subsequently be reimbursed from any source in respect of the Third Party claim from any other Person, the Indemnitee shall promptly pay the amount of the reimbursement (including interest actually received) to the Indemnitor, net of Taxes required to be paid by the Indemnitee as a result of any such receipt.

12.4 No Merger

13.3 Compliance with Applicable Privacy Laws

ARTICLE 14
DISPUTE RESOLUTION

14.1 Dispute Resolution

(a)

Vendor and Purchaser shall work together in good faith to resolve any disputes relating to this Agreement for 10 days from the date of written notice by either Vendor or Purchaser first describing the applicable dispute. If Vendor and Purchaser are unable to resolve such dispute within the applicable period, the Chief Executive Officer of each of Purchaser and Vendor or such other senior officer as may be designated by such Parties from time to time (or an authorized representative thereof) (each such designee, a “Resolution

Representative”) shall meet to resolve the dispute in good faith. If the Resolution Representatives are unable to resolve such dispute within 10 days following referral of such dispute pursuant to this Section 14.1(a), then such dispute shall proceed to mediation in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 14.1(b) below.

(b)		In the event that the Resolution Representatives are unable to resolve any dispute, Vendor and Purchaser agree to mediate any such dispute prior to the arbitration provided for below. Within five days of a demand for mediation by either Vendor or Purchaser, Vendor and Purchaser shall each submit to each other a potential mediator along with potential times, dates, and locations for any such mediation; provided, that if either Party shall fail to name its potential mediator within such five day period, then the other Party’s selected mediator shall be the mediator for all purposes of this Article 14. If Vendor and Purchaser each submit a mediator and cannot agree to the selection of the single mediator within a five day period following submission of each Party’s candidate, the two mediators chosen shall select the mediator to be utilized. It is the intention of Vendor and Purchaser that any mediation demanded pursuant to this Agreement shall be held and completed within 20 days of any demand. If the mediator is unable to resolve such dispute to the satisfaction of Vendor and Purchaser within 20 days following referral of such dispute pursuant to this Section 14.1(b), then such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 14.1(c) below.
(c)		Any dispute that is not resolved by Vendor and Purchaser in accordance with the procedures set forth above shall be finally settled by binding arbitration between Vendor and Purchaser as provided herein. The place of arbitration shall be Toronto, Ontario. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the then-prevailing rules the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. National Arbitration (or any successor or other institution performing comparable services) (the “Rules”) by a panel of three arbitrators (the “Arbitrators”). Within five days of the failure of a mediation, each of Vendor and Purchaser shall nominate one arbitrator; provided that if either Party shall fail to appoint its respective arbitrator within such 5-day period, then the other Party shall have the right to appoint such arbitrator on behalf of the non-nominating Party. Within and no later than five days after the nomination or appointment of the arbitrators, the two arbitrators shall agree upon and nominate the third arbitrator, who shall act as chairman of the panel. Each of Vendor and Purchaser shall pay its own costs for the arbitration, with the cost of the Arbitrators to be equally divided between Vendor and Purchaser. The Arbitrators shall have the authority to award damages provided the Arbitrators shall only have authority to award aggravated or punitive damages (notwithstanding Section 12.2(c)) with respect to disputes as compensation for unreasonable or reckless conduct, provided that any such award may be subject to judicial review at the option of either Vendor or Purchaser. A judgment upon an award may be enforced at any court having jurisdiction. Other than to enter an award in court, neither Vendor nor Purchaser nor the Arbitrators may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of the other participating Party.
(d)		Any decision made by a mediator or Arbitrator pursuant to this Article 14 shall be made in accordance with the following principles: such decision shall (i) not be inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) consider the intentions of the Parties in entering into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and (iii) shall be consistent with other transactions of the type contemplated by this Agreement.
(e)		For the avoidance of doubt, no decision made by the Arbitrators hereunder shall be inconsistent with any order of the FTC or Bureau or any agreement between either the Bureau or the FTC and Vendor, in each case to the extent relating to the Purchased Assets or the Facility.

FURTHER ASSURANCES AND COOPERATION

16.1 Further Assurances and Cooperation

          Vendor and Purchaser each agree to use commercially reasonable efforts in an attempt to satisfy the conditions precedent contained in Section 4.1 and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to carry out their obligations hereunder, including: (i) making every effort to ensure that Closing occurs prior to the expiry of any deadline imposed by the FTC or the Bureau as part of their approval of the CF Industries Transaction; (ii) following Closing, preparing and executing all further documents, trust indentures, conveyances and other instruments as may be reasonably required to convey the Purchased Assets to Purchaser and to ensure that Vendor or its Affiliate has or maintains title to, and all rights and entitlements in connection with, the Excluded Assets, including at Vendor’s request, either prior to or following Closing, Purchaser shall take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to apply for and complete the legal subdivision of all or a portion of the Leaseback Lands from the Lands, as determined by Vendor, acting reasonably (the “Retained Lands”) to ensure that Vendor or its Affiliates retain fee simple title to the Retained Lands or that fee simple title to the Retained Lands are conveyed to Vendor or its Affiliates following Closing; and (iii) cooperating in dealings with the FTC and the Bureau, provided that this Section 16.1 shall not require Vendor or its Affiliates to consummate or seek to take any action to consummate the CF Industries Transaction; and (iv) prior to or following Closing, at Vendor’s request, Purchaser shall execute such general and specific easements, utility rights of way, and other agreements and registrations reasonably required by Vendor or its Affiliates to operate, maintain and obtain access to the Excluded Assets and to obtain access to and use the Leaseback Lands and the Retained Lands; and in the event of the retention of fee simple title to the Retained Lands by Vendor or its Affiliates, or in the event of the transfer of fee simple to the Retained Lands to Vendor or its Affiliates, Vendor or its Affiliates, as the case may be, shall, at Purchaser’s request, execute such general and specific easements, utility rights of way, and other agreements and registrations reasonably required by Purchaser to operate, maintain and obtain access to the Facility, and Vendor or its Affiliates shall permit the registration of same against the Retained Lands.

          The terms and conditions which may be required by any Authorized Authority in relation to the subdivision of the Retained Lands shall be acceptable to Purchaser, acting reasonably, and shall not materially interfere with Purchaser’s use and operation of the Purchased Assets. In the event that the terms and conditions imposed by any Authorized Authority in respect of subdivision of the Retained Lands are unacceptable to Purchaser and Vendor disagrees with Purchaser’s determination, Vendor may refer such matter to dispute resolution in accordance with Article 14. Vendor shall keep Purchaser fully apprised of the status of such subdivision application. Vendor shall be responsible for all costs incurred by Vendor in relation to applying for and obtaining approval of the subdivision of the Retained Lands from the Lands, including costs of preparing surveys, consultants’ reports and other similar matters required in connection therewith.

          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) Vendor, Agrium Inc. and Agrium Products agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Bureau and the FTC in order to provide that the Closing Date shall be the first Business Day of the month immediately following the first month in which all of the conditions precedent set forth in Article 4 are and remain satisfied or satisfiable; provided however, if such first Business Day is less than 10 days from when all such conditions precedent are satisfied, then the Closing Date shall be the first Business Day of the next following month, and to further provide that in no event shall the Closing Date occur later than the date that is 90 days following the date upon which the CF Industries Transaction Closing occurs. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any Purchaser Required Approvals required under the Competition Act as soon as is reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement and Vendor shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in relation thereto. Purchaser shall be responsible for any costs and fees associated with the Purchaser Required Approval under the Competition Act. During the course of obtaining any such Purchaser Required Approvals, if any objections are asserted by the Commissioner of Competition with respect to the transaction contemplated herein, or if any proceeding is instituted by the Commissioner of Competition challenging the transaction contemplated herein, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such objections or proceeding as soon as is reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding anything contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser shall not be required to enter into any settlement, agreement, or other arrangement with the Commissioner of Competition to divest or otherwise hold or maintain separate assets or properties; (ii) Vendor and Purchaser shall, within a reasonable period of time prior to the Closing Date, provide such information and other documentation as is required by the Foreign Ownership of Land Administration Department for the purposes of obtaining pre-approval from such department with respect to the registration of the transfers of the Lands; (iii) Purchaser shall execute such consents and approvals as may be required by any Authorized Authority or reasonably requested by Vendor to apply for and complete the subdivision of the Retained Lands and shall execute such conveyances and other instruments as reasonably required to ensure that fee simple title to the Retained Lands is maintained by or conveyed to Vendor, including executing and delivering a registerable transfer of land for the Retained Lands to Vendor or such Affiliates of Vendor as it may direct; and (iv) Purchaser shall execute such easements, utility rights of way and other registrations in such form as determined by Vendor, acting reasonably and permit the registration of same against Purchaser’s interest in the Lands as required by Vendor or its Affiliates to operate, maintain and obtain access to the Excluded Assets and to obtain access to and use the Leaseback Lands and the Retained Lands.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall require or be construed to require Purchaser or Vendor or any of their respective Affiliates to commit: (a) to any divestiture of assets whatsoever (other than for Purchaser to convey the Retained Lands in accordance with the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 16.1 and with respect to Vendor, other than as contemplated by this Agreement); (b) to any undertaking, license or hold separate or similar arrangement or conduct of business arrangement or to terminate any relationship, rights or obligations or to do any other act, to the extent such commitment, action or termination would be reasonably likely to be materially adverse to the business, financial condition or prospects of the business which is the subject of this Agreement or to Purchaser or Vendor or any of their respective Affiliates, as determined by Purchaser or Vendor, as the case may be, in its sole discretion acting reasonably; or (c) to enter into any litigation or any dispute or appeal process with any governmental authority or Third Party.

16.2 Consents

(a)		Vendor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all material consents, authorizations or approvals, including consents required pursuant to the TCPL Lease (each a “Consent”) required under any of the terms or provisions of any material contract relating to the Facility in connection with the completion of the sale of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b)		Subject to Section 16.2(c), to the extent that any of the Purchased Assets are not capable of being sold, assigned, transferred, delivered or subleased without a Consent, or if such sale, assignment, transfer, delivery or sublease, or attempted sale, assignment, transfer, delivery or sublease would constitute a breach thereof or a violation of any Applicable Law, this Agreement shall not constitute a sale, assignment, transfer, delivery or sublease thereof, or an attempted sale, assignment, transfer, delivery or sublease thereof until such Consent is received.

(c)

To the extent that the Consents are not obtained by Vendor by Closing, other than Vendor Required Approvals, Vendor shall, following the Closing Date:

	(i)		hold the benefits of any Purchased Asset referred to in Section 16.2(b) in trust for Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of this Section 16.2(b);
	(ii)		cooperate in any commercially reasonable and lawful arrangement, approved by Purchaser, designed to provide such benefits to Purchaser; and
