MOSAIC NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

(2006 Statement)

The Mosaic Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (2006 Statement) (hereinafter referred to as the “Plan Statement”) is hereby amended as provided below. This amendment is intended to clarify the Plan. The amendment below is not intended to make any changes that would cause a violation of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code or its accompanying regulations. If a change in this amendment is determined to be a violation of section 409A, the amendment shall not be effective and shall be disregarded with respect to the rules governing benefits under the Plan.

Effective January 1, 2011, a new definition for Qualified CIC Termination is added as Section 1.1(y) (the existing Section 1.1(y) shall be renumbered, and other definitions shall be renumbered as appropriate based on the addition of this new definition) that reads as follows:

 

  (y) “Qualified CIC Termination” means the termination of a Participant who (i) has a current Senior Management Severance and Change in Control Agreement (the “Senior Management Agreement”) with the Employer at the time of termination, and (ii) is involuntarily terminated (including termination for good reason) for reasons other than Cause within six (6) months prior to or within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control. A Participant terminated for Cause shall not have a Qualified CIC Termination.
