ARTICLE 7

PROVISIONS FOR RESOLUTION OF DISPUTED CLAIMS AND
INTERESTS AND OBJECTIONS TO PROOFS THEREOF

     7.1.Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or Confirmation Order, the Committee under the Terra Transaction and New MissChem under the Standalone Transaction shall have the sole right after the Effective Date to object to and to contest the allowance of any Claims and Interests filed in the Case and to file any motions/complaints pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 505.

     7.2.Except for any Claims or Interests previously Allowed or as provided for in the Plan, objections to Claims and Interests may be filed with the Court and served upon the Claimant on or before the later of (i) sixty (60) days after the Effective Date, or (ii) such other date as may be fixed by the Bankruptcy Court, after notice and a hearing.

     7.3.After the Effective Date, the Claimant whose Claim or Interest is the subject of a pending and unresolved objection but who has not previously filed a response to such objection, must file with the Court and serve upon the objecting party and the Committee a response to such objection prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days from the later of (i) the Effective Date or (ii) such other date as may be fixed by the Bankruptcy Court, after notice and a hearing.  Failure to file such a response within such thirty (30) days time period shall constitute cause for the Court to enter a default judgment against the non-respondent, and to grant the relief requested in the objection.

     7.4.Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any portion of a Claim is a Disputed Claim, no payment or distribution provided in the Plan shall be made on account of such Claim unless and until such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

     7.5.All Tort Claims are Disputed Claims.  No distributions under the Plan shall be made on account of any Tort Claim unless and until such Claim is liquidated and becomes an Allowed Claim.  Any Tort Claim which has not been liquidated prior to the Effective Date and as to which a Proof of Claim was timely filed in the Case shall be determined and liquidated in the administrative or judicial tribunal in which it is pending on the Effective Date or, if no action was pending on the Effective Date, in any administrative or judicial tribunal of appropriate jurisdiction.  Any Tort Claim determined and liquidated (i) pursuant to a judgment obtained in accordance with this Section and applicable nonbankruptcy law which is no longer appealable or subject to review, or (ii) in any alternate dispute resolution or similar proceeding as same may be approved by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be paid as follows: (A) to the extent such liquidated Tort Claim is, in whole or in part, included in insurance coverage, the insured portion shall be paid by the applicable insurer, and (B) to the extent any portion of such liquidated Tort Claim is not covered by insurance, such uninsured portion shall be deemed, to the extent applicable, an Allowed Claim in Class 7A, 4B or 2C as the case may be and treated in accordance with Sections 5.7, 5.13 or 5.16, as appropriate.  Nothing in this Section 7.5 shall constitute or be deemed a waiver (1) of any rights under section 157(b) of Title 28 of the United States Code; (2) of any Cause of Action that the Debtors or any entity may hold against any other entity, including without limitation, insurers under any insurance policy; or (3) of any defenses available to the Debtors or insurers, including without limitation, coverage defenses.

     7.6.No holder of a Claim, other than a MCC Replacement DIP Claim or a Phosphates MCC Replacement DIP Claim, shall be entitled to interest or other charges solely on account of any passage of time before the Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

     7.7.On and after the Effective Date, the Committee under the Terra Transaction and New MissChem under the Standalone Transaction shall, respectively, have the authority to compromise, settle, otherwise resolve, or withdraw any objections to Claims without approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

     7.8.Estimation of Claims.  The Committee under the Terra Transaction and New MissChem under the Standalone Transaction may, respectively, at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any contingent or Disputed Claim pursuant to § 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code regardless of whether the Debtors or the Committee previously objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court will retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to any Claim, including, without limitation, during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection.  Subject to the provisions of § 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, in the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or Disputed Claim, the amount so estimated shall constitute the allowed amount of such Claim for distribution purposes.  If the estimated amount constitutes a maximum limitation of the amount of such Claim, the Committee or New MissChem, as appropriate, may pursue supplementary proceedings to object to the allowance of such Claim.  All of the aforementioned objection, estimation and resolution procedures are intended to be cumulative and not necessarily exclusive of one another.  Claims may be estimated and subsequently compromised, settled, withdrawn or resolved by any mechanism approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

AND 13.8.B. OF THIS PLAN.

     13.8.        Release of Causes of Action; Exculpation.

                     A.     Each of the Debtors and each holder of a Claim or Interest who either (i) accepts a distribution under the Plan, (ii) votes to accept the Plan, or (iii) does not timely submit its Ballot voting on the Plan, shall be conclusively deemed for all purposes to have forever waived any and all Causes of Action against the Debtors and all Covered Parties, and released all Covered Parties from all Causes of Action, including but not limited to all Causes of Action arising in connection with or related to any act or omission in connection with, relating to, or arising out of, the Cases, the pursuit of confirmation of the Plan, the consummation of the Plan, or the administration of the Plan or the property to be distributed under the Plan or any of the Transactions contemplated by the Plan, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, except as to obligations of the Debtors expressly provided in this Plan or the Confirmation Order.  On the Effective Date, any and all Causes of Action by or derivatively through any Debtor against any of the Covered Parties shall automatically and immediately be fully and finally waived, released and discharged for all purposes.

                     B.     Neither any of the Debtors or their estates existing before or after the Effective Date nor any of the Covered Parties shall have or incur any liability to, or be subject to any right of action by, any of the Debtors or any holder of a Claim or Interest or the Committee or any other party in interest in the Cases, or any of their respective owners, members, officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, representatives, attorneys, advisors or other professional representatives, or any of their successors or assigns, for any act or omission in connection with, relating to, or arising out of  (i) the Cases, (ii) any act taken or omitted to be taken on or after the Petition Date in connection with the Cases, or (iii) the Disclosure Statement, the Plan or the documents and actions necessary to perform the Plan, except for obligations of the Debtors or any of the Covered Parties expressly arising under or in accordance with the Plan and Confirmation Order, and except for their willful misconduct or gross negligence; and each of the Debtors and the Covered Parties shall be entitled to rely reasonably upon the advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities under the Plan and Confirmation Order.

                     C.     Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan, no person that was, prior to the Effective Date, liable in any respect for the Pension Plan (collectively, the "Non-Released Pension Plan Parties") shall be discharged or released from any liability with respect to the Pension Plan on account of the Plan or Confirmation Order.  Neither the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation nor the Pension Plan shall be enjoined or precluded from enforcing any such liability on the Non-Released Pension Plan Parties as a result of the Plan's provisions or the confirmation thereof.

     13.9.        Survival of Corporate Indemnity Obligations.  Any and all obligations of any of the Debtors in effect on or after the Petition Date to indemnify and hold harmless any officer, director or other Affiliate or other representative of any of the Debtors under any provision of the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, corporate resolutions or written contracts of any of the Debtors or applicable state law shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof on and after the Effective Date.

     13.10.    Restrictions on Payments

                   A.     This Plan contemplates the payment of Allowed Claims only.  No Disputed Claims shall be paid, nor shall distributions be made to an Entity holding a Disputed Claim, until and only to the extent that such Claim, or any part thereof, becomes an Allowed Claim, if ever.  Any Claim not specifically classified within this Plan shall receive no distribution under the Plan on account of such Claim, and shall be deemed discharged and forever barred.  Checks or drafts issued to Entities holding Allowed Claims and not presented for payment within ninety (90) days following the date of the check or draft shall be deemed canceled and non-negotiable thereafter.  Any Entity to whom a check or draft has been issued pursuant to the Plan who has neither presented such check or draft for payment within such 90-day time period nor notified the Debtors in writing within 90 days after the distribution thereof of the address to which such check or draft can be sent to such Entity shall conclusively be deemed to have abandoned the right of such Entity to receive a distribution under the Plan, and such right shall thereupon be terminated and canceled.   Distributions under the Plan will be governed by the provisions of §§ 508, 509 and 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, where applicable. 

                   B.     All distributions on account of Allowed Claims pursuant to the Plan shall be allocated first to the principal amount of the Allowed Claim, with any excess allocated to unpaid accrued interest.

                   C.     Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no payment of Cash in amounts less than Fifteen Dollars ($15.00) shall be made to any holder of a Claim, and Cash distributions in accordance with the Plan will be rounded down to the nearest whole dollar.

                   D.     No fractional shares of Terra Parent Common Stock, Terra Parent Preferred Stock, New MissChem Common Stock or New MissChem Warrants, or Cash in lieu thereof, shall be distributed.  For purposes of distribution under the Plan, fractional shares of Terra Parent Common Stock, Terra Parent Preferred Stock, New MissChem Common Stock or New MissChem Warrants shall be rounded down to the next whole number or zero, as applicable.  None of the Disbursing Agent, indenture trustees or their respective designee shall have any obligation to make a distribution that is less than one (1) share of Terra Parent Common Stock, Terra Parent Preferred Stock, New MissChem Common Stock or New MissChem Warrants.

                   E.      Distribution of any Terra Parent Common Stock or Terra Parent Preferred Stock in connection with the Terra Transaction, or New MissChem Common Stock in connection with the Standalone Transaction, to any holder of a Claim or Interest located in a jurisdiction outside of the United States is conditioned on receipt by the MCC-Debtors from such holder of such Claim or Interest of evidence satisfactory to the MCC-Debtors that the distribution is legally permitted to be made in such foreign jurisdiction.  The MCC-Debtors will reasonably cooperate with any such holder, at the holder's expense and without imposing any incremental liability on the MCC-Debtors, in making any filings or taking any other actions in order to make the distribution in such foreign jurisdiction legally permissible.  In any event, any holder of a Claim or Interest located in a jurisdiction outside of the United States who has not received any such equity distribution within one year of the later of the Effective Date or the date on which such Claim or Interest becomes Allowed, shall have its Claim or Interest for such equity distribution discharged and shall be forever barred from asserting any such Claim or Interest against Terra, Terra Parent, Old MissChem, New MissChem, any successor to any of such entities, and any assets of any such respective entities or their successors.  In such cases, any Terra Parent Common Stock or Terra Parent Preferred Stock under the Terra Transaction, or New MissChem Common Stock under the Standalone Transaction, shall be distributed by the Disbursing Agent Prorata to the holders of Allowed Class 6A Claims and Allowed Class 7A Claims who become entitled to the equity distribution contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 5.7 of this Plan.

     13.11.    Dates.  Bankruptcy Rule 9006 is incorporated herein for purposes of calculating the dates set out herein.  Whenever any distribution to be made under the Plan is due on a day other than a Business Day, such distribution will instead be made, without penalty or interest, on the next Business Day.  The Court shall retain power, after the Confirmation Order, to extend distribution dates for cause, upon motion and after notice and a hearing to affected parties. 

     13.12.    Debtor Actions.  Each of the Debtors and New MissChem is authorized to execute, deliver, file and/or record such contracts, instruments, releases, agreements and other documents and take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan.  Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Debtors or New MissChem from taking such actions as may be necessary to consummate the Plan, although such actions may not specifically be provided for within the Plan, so long as such actions are neither contrary to nor inconsistent with the terms of the Plan or the Confirmation Order.  

     13.13.    Corporate Action.  On the Effective Date, all matters provided for under the Plan that would otherwise require approval of the directors, stockholders or other equity owners of one or more of the Debtors and New MissChem, including without limitation, (i) the authorization to issue or cause to be issued all of the documents included in the Plan Supplement, (ii) the effectiveness of the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, and amendments thereto of any of the Debtors or New MissChem made in accordance with the Plan, (iii) all restructuring transactions effectuated pursuant to the Plan, (iv) the election of directors and officers of any of the Debtors and New MissChem, (v) the authorization and approval of the new revolving credit facility, new term loan, etc., (vi) qualification of any of the Debtors and New MissChem as a foreign corporation wherever the conduct of business by them requires such qualification, shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be in effect from and after the Effective Date pursuant to applicable general corporation law of the states in which the Debtors and New MissChem are incorporated, without any requirement of further action by the directors, stockholders or other equity owners of the Debtors and New MissChem.  On the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the Debtors and New MissChem shall, if required, file their amended or initial Articles of Incorporation or other corporate charter documents with the secretary of state or other appropriate regulatory officer of the state in which each such entity is or will be incorporated, in accordance with the applicable general corporation law of each such state.  On or as of the Effective Date, all prior actions lawfully taken by the respective Boards of Directors of the Debtors and then in effect shall be deemed ratified by entry of the Confirmation Order and still in effect, except to the extent contrary to or inconsistent with the terms of the Plan or the Confirmation Order.

     13.14.    Avoidance Actions.  From and after the Effective Date, the Committee under the Terra Transaction and New MissChem under the Standalone Transaction shall, respectively, have the authority, without approval of the Bankruptcy Court, to prosecute, and to compromise, settle, and otherwise resolve or withdraw any complaint respecting, any avoidance, equitable subordination or recovery actions under §§ 105, 502(d), 510, 542 through 551, and 553 of the Bankruptcy Code that belong to the Debtors or Debtors-in-Possession, provided that the Committee gives reasonable notice to and consults with Terra and Terra Parent before commencing any such actions after the Effective Date under the Terra Transaction.

     13.15.    Discharge of Committee.  Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Confirmation Order, the appointment and duties and authority of the Committee and its counsel and its other professionals shall continue in effect until the entry of the final order closing the Cases or such other date as the Court may fix.

     13.16.    Post-Effective Date Fees and Expenses.  From and after the Effective Date, the Debtors and New MissChem shall, in the ordinary course of business and without the necessity for any approval by the Bankruptcy Court, pay the reasonable fees and expenses of professional persons thereafter incurred by them, including without limitation, those fees and expenses incurred in connection with the implementation and consummation of the Plan.  From and after the Effective Date, the expenses of the Committee, including the reasonable expenses of Committee members and the reasonable fees and expenses of professional persons thereafter employed by the Committee, shall, without the necessity for any approval by the Bankruptcy Court, be paid from (i) Post Closing Expenses (as such term is defined in the Terra Stock Purchase Agreement); (ii) any reserve amounts for Disputed Claims in excess of the respective Allowed amounts as contemplated in Section 6.3(1)E of the Plan; (iii) any Committee recoveries as contemplated in Section 7.1 of the Plan; and (iv) any Committee recoveries as contemplated in Section 13.14 of the Plan; provided, however, that funds included in clauses (i) or (ii) above and included in clauses (iii) or (iv) above as having arisen within or on account of the MCC-Debtors shall only be used for payment of Committee expenses relating to the MCC-Debtors; and, provided, further, that funds included in clauses (iii) or (iv) above as having arisen within or on account of either the Phosphates-Debtor or the Potash-Debtors shall only be used for payment of Committee expenses relating to the Phosphates-Debtor or the Potash-Debtors, respectively.  Any amounts in (i) through (iv) above remaining after the Committee has completed all of its obligations pursuant to the Plan and all related Committee fees and expenses have been paid shall then be distributed by the Distribution Agent to holders of Allowed Class 6A and 7A Claims who become entitled to the equity distribution contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 5.7 of the Plan, to the extent any such remaining amounts arose within or on account of the MCC-Debtors; and any such amounts so remaining shall be distributed by the Disbursing Agent to the holders of Allowed Class 5B Claims to the extent any such remaining amounts arose within or on account of the Phosphates-Debtor and to the holders of Allowed Class 2C Claims to the extent any such remaining amounts arose within or on account of the Potash-Debtors.

     13.17.    Inconsistencies.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to the extent the Plan is inconsistent with any other documents, the provisions of the Plan shall be controlling.

     13.18.    Preservation of Insurance.         The discharge and release of the Debtors as provided in the Plan or Confirmation Order shall not diminish or impair the enforceability of any insurance policies that may cover Claims against any Debtor or other Person.

     13.19.    Post-Effective Date Reporting.  In the case of the Standalone Transaction, at all times during the period commencing with the Effective Date and continuing thereafter for 18 months, New MissChem shall cause the New MissChem Common Stock to be registered under Section 12(g), and will timely file with the SEC all reports required to be filed pursuant to Section 13, of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and applicable to a U.S. company subject to such sections, within such time limits and periods provided therefor, notwithstanding that New MissChem may not be required to remain subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 of such Act.

     13.20.    Sections 1145 and 1146 Exemptions.  The exemptions from securities laws provided by § 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code shall apply to all securities transactions pursuant to or contemplated in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, including but not limited to the Terra Parent Common Stock, the Terra Parent Preferred Stock, the Terra Parent Common Stock issuable upon reduction of the Terra Parent Preferred Stock, the New MissChem Common Stock the New MissChem Warrants, the Phosphates New Common Stock and the trust certificates described in Section 6.3(3)C of this Plan, each of which shall be issued under and shall have the benefit of § 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Pursuant to § 1146(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, the issuance, transfer or exchange of notes or debt or equity securities or trust certificates under the Plan, the creation of any mortgage, deed of trust or other security interest under the Plan, the making or assignment of any lease or sublease under the Plan, or the making or delivery of any instrument of transfer under, in furtherance of, or in connection with the Plan, shall not be subject to any stamp, real estate, transfer, mortgage recording, use or other similar tax.

     13.21.    Governing Law.  Except to the extent that the Bankruptcy Code or other federal law is applicable, or to the extent that an exhibit hereto or in the Plan Supplement or a document or instrument executed pursuant to the Plan provides otherwise, the rights, duties and obligations arising under this Plan shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the Bankruptcy Code and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of Mississippi without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws.

     13.22.    Notices.  All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Debtors or as otherwise provided herein to be effective shall be in writing, including by facsimile transmission, and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when actually delivered to all of the following or, in the case of notice by facsimile transmission, when received by all of the following and telephonically confirmed, addressed as follows or to such other addresses as filed with the Bankruptcy Court after the date of the Confirmation Order:
