Section 3.01 Payment Amount. GP shall pay or cause MLP or Fertilizer to pay, to CVR (or its Affiliates as CVR may direct) the amount of any direct or indirect expenses incurred by CVR or its Affiliates in connection with the provision of Services by CVR or its Affiliates (the “Payment Amount”), in accordance with the following:

(b) Shared Personnel and Administrative Personnel. The Payment Amount will include a prorata share of all Personnel Costs of Shared Personnel and Administrative Personnel (including government and public relations), as determined by CVR on a commercially reasonable basis, based on the percent of total working time that such respective personnel are engaged in performing any of the Services.

(i) Payroll. A prorata share of all Personnel Costs of Administrative Personnel engaged in performing payroll services as part of the Services, as determined by CVR on a commercially reasonable basis, based on the Fertilizer Payroll Percentage;

A prorata share of all office costs (including, without limitation, all costs relating to office leases, equipment leases, supplies, property taxes and utilities) for all locations of Administrative Personnel, as determined by CVR on a commercially reasonable basis, based on the Fertilizer Payroll Percentage;

(iii) Insurance. Insurance premiums will be direct charged to the applicable insured, provided, however, the Payment Amount will include all insurance premiums for adequate directors and officers (or equivalent) insurance for any Seconded Personnel or Shared Personnel, with liability coverage of no less than $15 million;

(iv) Outside Services. Services provided by outside vendors (including audit services, legal services, government and public relation services, and other services) will first be direct charged where applicable, provided, however, the Payment Amount will include a prorata share of charges for all services that are provided by outside vendors and not direct charged, as determined by CVR on a commercially reasonable basis, based upon the following percentages of such

charges: legal services — 20%; and all other services — Fertilizer Payroll Percentage;

For the avoidance of doubt, any of the foregoing costs and expenses described in Section 3.01 that are direct charged to any Party will not be included in the Payment Amount.

Section 3.02 Payment of Payment Amount. CVR shall submit monthly invoices to GP for the Services, which invoices shall be due and payable net 15 days. GP shall pay or cause MLP or Fertilizer to pay, to CVR in immediately available funds, the full Payment Amount due under Section 3.01. Past due amounts shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Allocation percentages referred to in this Article III will be calculated and determined for calendar year or calendar quarter periods, as CVR may determine, based upon CVR’s annual audited financials, or quarterly unaudited financials, for the immediately preceding calendar year or calendar quarter, as applicable.

Section 3.03 Disputed Charges. GP MAY, WITHIN 90 DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF A CHARGE FROM CVR, TAKE WRITTEN EXCEPTION TO SUCH CHARGE, ON THE GROUND THAT THE SAME WAS NOT A REASONABLE COST INCURRED BY CVR OR ITS AFFILIATES IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES. GP SHALL NEVERTHELESS PAY OR CAUSE MLP OR FERTILIZER TO PAY IN FULL WHEN DUE THE FULL PAYMENT AMOUNT OWED TO CVR. SUCH PAYMENT SHALL NOT BE DEEMED A WAIVER OF THE RIGHT OF THE SERVICES RECIPIENT TO RECOUP ANY CONTESTED PORTION OF ANY AMOUNT SO PAID. HOWEVER, IF THE AMOUNT AS TO WHICH SUCH WRITTEN EXCEPTION IS TAKEN, OR ANY PART THEREOF, IS ULTIMATELY DETERMINED NOT TO BE A REASONABLE COST INCURRED BY CVR OR ITS AFFILIATES IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROVIDING THE SERVICES HEREUNDER, SUCH AMOUNT OR PORTION THEREOF (AS THE CASE MAY BE) SHALL BE REFUNDED BY CVR TO THE SERVICES RECIPIENTS TOGETHER WITH INTEREST THEREON AT THE DEFAULT RATE DURING THE PERIOD FROM THE DATE OF PAYMENT BY THE SERVICES RECIPIENTS TO THE DATE OF REFUND BY CVR.

Section 3.04 CVR’s Employees. The Services Recipients shall not be obligated to pay directly to Seconded Personnel or Shared Personnel any compensation, salaries, wages, bonuses,

benefits, social security taxes, workers’ compensation insurance, retirement and insurance benefits, training or other expenses; provided, however, that if CVR fails to pay any employee within 30 days of the date such employee’s payment is due:

(a) The Services Recipients may (i) pay such employee directly, (ii) employ such employee directly, or (iii) notify CVR that this Agreement is terminated and employ such employees directly; and

The Parties agree that any judgment obtained by any Party or its successors or assigns in any action, suit or proceeding referred to above may, in the discretion of such Party (or its successors or assigns), be enforced in any jurisdiction, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Parties agree that the remedy at law for any breach of this Agreement may be inadequate and that should any dispute arise concerning any matter hereunder, this Agreement shall be enforceable in a court of equity by an injunction or a decree of specific performance. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and nonexclusive, and shall be in addition to any other remedies which the Parties may have. Each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation as between the Parties directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or disputes relating hereto. Each Party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other Parties have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 10.08.
