(s) "Post-Plan Audit Amount" in the context of a Disaster means the productive capacity of the affected Mine following full implementation of the applicable Plan, as verified by the Canpotex Auditors and based on the Operating Results of such Mine for a demonstration period of 90 Operating Days, or 180 Operating Days in the case of a Solution Mine, chosen by the Affected Producer and based on 350 Operating Days per year; 4 (t) "Pre-Disaster Audit Amount" means, in respect of a Mine that has been affected by an event or series of related events that any Producer reasonably believes has caused a Disaster, the productive capacity of the Mine as verified by the Canpotex Auditors and based on the Operating Results of such Mine for the 90 Operating Day period, or 180 Operating Day period in the case of a Solution Mine, with the highest cumulative production within the one year period immediately preceding the commencement of the Disaster, based on 350 Operating Days per year; (u) "Pre-Expansion Audit Amount" in the context of a Major Expansion, means the following as applicable: (i) in respect of a Major Expansion involving an existing Mine, the productive capacity of such Mine as verified by the Canpotex Auditors and based on the Operating Results of such Mine for the 90 Operating Day period, or 180 Operating Day period in the case of a Solution Mine, with the highest cumulative production within the one year period immediately preceding the applicable Notice of Expansion, based on 350 Operating Days per year; or (ii) in respect of a Major Expansion involving a new Mine, nil; (v) "Product Tonne" means a ton of potash of any grade but expressed for purposes of this Amending Agreement as KCL; for greater certainty, "ton" for purposes hereof, as defined in the Producer Agreements, means a metric tonne which equals 1,000 kilograms; (w) "Productive Capacity Change" means the difference between the Pre-Expansion Audit Amount and the Post-Expansion Audit Amount or the difference between the Pre-Disaster Audit Amount and the Post-Plan Audit Amount, for an existing Mine or a new Mine, as the case may be;

and (b) have occurred on the date that the productive capacity of the affected Mine is in fact reduced by an amount equal to at least 50% of its Pre-Disaster Audit Amount. 1.04 It is acknowledged that CCP is not a party to a Producer Agreement with Canpotex, and that potash produced by CCP at its Mine near Colonsay, Saskatchewan is sold by CCP to Canpotex pursuant to the Producer Agreement between Kalium and Canpotex. Accordingly, for purposes hereof Kalium and CCP are considered collectively as one entity, and "Producer" in reference to Kalium shall include both Kalium and CCP unless the context otherwise requires. CCP has entered into this Agreement in order to confirm these matters and to evidence its consent and agreement to be bound hereby. 2. PRIORITY OF THIS AGREEMENT 2.01 The provisions of this Amending Agreement shall amend the Producer Agreements and wherever there is a conflict between the provisions of this Amending Agreement and the provisions of the Producer Agreements, the provisions of this Amending Agreement shall apply. In all other respects, the provisions of the Producer Agreements are hereby confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect. 5 3. BASIC ENTITLEMENTS AND AGGREGATE PRODUCTIVE CAPACITIES 3.01 Prior to December 1st in each year, Canpotex management shall deliver to the Board of Directors the Operating Plan and Budget for the immediately following fiscal year which shall include a schedule setting out the Basic Entitlement of each Producer to supply potash, grade by grade, for export by Canpotex for that fiscal year to which such Operating Plan and Budget applies. Only one aggregate Basic Entitlement will be included in such schedule for the IMC Group. 3.02 For the fiscal year beginning January 1, 1999, and for each fiscal year thereafter, the Basic Entitlement of a Producer to supply potash to Canpotex for export, grade by grade, and for establishing the quantities of potash to be purchased by Canpotex from a Producer, including any Producer that becomes a party hereto after the Effective Date, shall be as determined in accordance with the applicable Producer Agreement as amended by this Amending Agreement. 3.03 For greater certainty, commencing with the 1999 fiscal year and continuing thereafter until changed pursuant to the terms and provisions hereof, the Aggregate Productive Capacities of the Producers shall be the Aggregate Productive Capacities specified in paragraph 1.02 (c) hereof. 3.04 It is acknowledged that the Aggregate Productive Capacity of the IMC Group is the aggregate of the productive capacities of Kalium, CCP and IMC LP. It is further acknowledged that Canpotex shall at all times be entitled to treat the collective productive capacities of Kalium, CCP and IMC LP as one aggregate Productive Capacity for purposes hereof and that it shall be the responsibility of the IMC Group to ensure that the obligations to deliver Product Tonnes to Canpotex consistent with such Aggregate Productive Capacity are satisfied by the IMC Group. 3.05 Notwithstanding that, in accordance with this Amending Agreement, the Basic Entitlement of the Producers will henceforth be calculated with reference to Aggregate Productive Capacities and Product Tonnes expressed as KCL, it is agreed that the purchase price per ton of potash finally payable by Canpotex to the Producers for each grade of potash purchased under the Producer Agreements shall continue to be calculated in tons of K(2)O equivalent. 4. MAJOR EXPANSIONS 4.01 Any Producer which intends to undertake a Major Expansion shall give a Notice of Expansion to Canpotex and contemporaneously to the other Producers to that effect. 4.02 Following the delivery of a Notice of Expansion, the Producer undertaking such Major Expansion shall, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, supply the necessary Operating Results to the Canpotex Auditors to enable the Canpotex Auditors to verify the Pre-Expansion Audit Amount. 4.03 Following the delivery of a Notice of Expansion, the applicable Producer may, by notice to Canpotex and contemporaneously to the other Producers, at any time voluntarily revoke the Notice of Expansion, and shall be deemed to have revoked the Notice of Expansion if the audit to determine the Post- Expansion Audit Amount has not been completed within five years following the date that the Notice of Expansion was delivered, unless otherwise agreed by all of the Producers, In the case of a voluntary revocation, the applicable Producer shall provide notice thereof to Canpotex and each of the other Producers. 4.04 If a Producer provides a Notice of Expansion with respect to a proposed Major Expansion equal to or greater than 400,000 Product Tonnes increase in annual productive capacity, then for purposes of this Amending Agreement such Producer shall be entitled to treat the overall Major Expansion as a series of smaller Major Expansions. In such case the Producer shall be entitled to complete a series of demonstration periods, as contemplated in paragraph 1.02(r) hereof, in order to provide a series of Post-Expansion Audit Amounts and thereby have its Aggregate Productive capacity increased in stages during the period in which the overall Major Expansion is being completed; provided that each such staged increase must be at least 200,000 Product Tonnes per annum. 6 If a Producer wishes to complete the overall Major Expansion in stages as contemplated above, it shall so indicate in its Notice of Expansion. The provisions of this Amending Agreement relating to Major Expansions shall apply to any such staged Major Expansions, mutatis mutandis. Any voluntary or deemed revocation of such a Notice of Expansion shall result in a revocation of the Notice of Expansion only as it relates to the stages of the Major Expansion for which a Post-Expansion Audit Amount has not been verified as at the date of such revocation. 4.05 Following completion of a Major Expansion, the applicable Producer shall, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, supply the necessary Operating Results to the Canpotex Auditors to enable the Canpotex Auditors to verify the Post-Expansion Audit Amount. 4.06 The Pre-Expansion Audit Amount verification and the Post-Expansion Audit Amount verification by the Canpotex Auditors shall be delivered to Canpotex and the Producers as soon as reasonably practicable after completion of each. 4.07 If a Major Expansion has been fully completed and verified in compliance with this Article 4, the Aggregate Productive Capacity of the applicable Producer shall thereafter be increased by the amount of the Productive Capacity Change effective from and after: (a) January 1 in the immediately following fiscal year, provided such Major Expansion has been fully completed and verified on or before December 31 in any year; or (c) July 1 in any fiscal year, provided such Major Expansion has been fully completed and verified on or before June 30 in such fiscal year. 4.08 Any Producer who operates a Solution Mine will not accumulate crystal potash product in a crystallization pond or ponds that would unduly influence a Post-Expansion Audit Amount. 5. DISASTERS 5.01 (a) If after the Effective Date an event or series of related events occurs that the Affected Producer reasonably believes has or have caused a Disaster at a Mine, the Affected Producer shall, as soon as practicable, give notice of such event(s) (an "Owner Disaster Notice") to the other Producers and contemporaneously to Canpotex. If such an event or series of related events occurs but no Owner Disaster Notice is given, any of the other Producers that reasonably believes that such event(s) has or have caused a Disaster shall be entitled to give notice of such event(s) (a "Non-Owner Disaster Notice") simultaneously to all of the other parties hereto. (b) If either an Owner Disaster Notice or a Non-Owner Disaster Notice is given, an audit shall be completed to determine the Pre-Disaster Audit Amount, and the Affected Producer shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within six months following the date any such Notice is given, supply the necessary Operating Results to the Canpotex Auditors to enable the Canpotex Auditors to verify the Pre-Disaster Audit Amount. The Pre-Disaster Audit Amount verification shall be delivered to Canpotex and the Producers as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. (c) If either an Owner Disaster Notice or a Non-Owner Disaster Notice is given the Affected Producer shall, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within one year following the date that any such Notice is given, supply the necessary Operating Results to the Canpotex Auditors to enable the Canpotex Auditors to verify the Post-Disaster Audit Amount. The Post-Disaster Audit Amount verification shall be delivered to Canpotex and the Producers as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. (d) The Pre-Disaster Audit Amount and the Post-Disaster Audit Amount will be used to confirm whether or not a Disaster has in fact occurred at the Mine. (e) Each party hereto represents to the others that as of the Effective Date it was not aware of, and on the date of signing this Amending Agreement is not aware of, the occurrence of any event or series of related events at any of its Mines that has or have caused a Disaster at any such Mines, 7 provided that with respect to PCS's Patience Lake Mine near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, PCS's representation as aforesaid relates only to the time period since PCS acquired, directly or indirectly, such Mine in 1993. 5.02 If after the Effective Date a Disaster occurs, the Aggregate Productive Capacity and Basic Entitlement of the Affected Producer shall not be reduced as provided for in section 5.05 hereof provided that each of the following events occur: (a) on or prior to the 30th day preceding the end of the Suspension Period, the Affected Producer submits a Plan to Canpotex and the other Producers that is reasonably likely to achieve the results specified therein; and (b) the Affected Producer fully implements the Plan before the expiration of the Additional Suspension Period and such implementation achieves the results specified in the Plan. 5.03 Following full implementation of the Plan, the Affected Producer shall, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, supply the necessary Operating Results to the Canpotex Auditors to enable the Canpotex Auditors to verify the Post-Plan Audit Amount. The Post-Plan Audit Amount verification shall be delivered to Canpotex and the Producers as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. 5.04 If a Plan has been fully implemented and verified in compliance with this Article 5, the Aggregate Productive Capacity of the Affected Producer shall, subject to the terms hereof, thereafter be the Aggregate Productive Capacity of the Affected Producer immediately before the Disaster: (a) minus the pre-Disaster Audit Amount; and (b) plus the Post-Plan Audit Amount; provided that the Aggregate Productive Capacity calculated as aforesaid shall not be increased above the Aggregate Productive Capacity of the Affected Producer immediately before the Disaster, unless such increase will be at least 200,000 Product Tonnes. 5.05 If a Disaster occurs and any of the events specified in section 5.02 hereof does not occur within the time frame set forth therein, then unless otherwise agreed by all Producers, the Aggregate Productive Capacity of the Affected Producer shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference between the Pre-Disaster Audit Amount and the Post-Disaster Audit amount. 5.06 Any Producer who operates a Solution Mine will not accumulative crystal potash product in a crystallization pond or ponds that would unduly influence a Post-Plan Audit Amount or Post-Disaster Audit Amount. 6.
