Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding common unit representing a limited partner interest in Rentech Nitrogen (each, a “Rentech Nitrogen Common Unit”), other than certain units held by affiliates of the Partnership, was converted into the right to receive (1) 1.04 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (“Partnership Common Units” and such amount, the “Unit Consideration”), and (2) $2.57 in cash, without interest (the “Cash Consideration” and, together with the Unit Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”).

Each phantom unit granted and outstanding and held by (x) employees who will not continue in employment of a Partnership-affiliated entity or (y) directors of Rentech Nitrogen GP vested in full and were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Rentech Nitrogen Common Units held of record by an affiliate of CVR Partners and specified in writing by CVR Partners remained outstanding as Rentech Nitrogen Common Units following the Effective Time.

ARTICLE IIAMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE LOANS

Section 2.1Loan Commitment.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lender agrees to make term loans (each, a “Loan” and, collectively, the “Loans”) to the Borrower during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the Loan Commitment.

5

(b)Amounts borrowed under Section 2.1(a) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

Section 2.2Borrowing Procedure. The Borrower shall give the Lender written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each borrowing to be made by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit A (a “Notice of Borrowing”), each such Notice of Borrowing to be delivered prior to noon (Central time) one (1) Business Day before the requested date of each borrowing, unless a shorter period is agreed by the Lender. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of such borrowing and (ii) the date of such borrowing (which shall be a Business Day).

Section 2.3Optional Reduction and Termination of Loan Commitment. Upon one (1) Business Day’s written notice to the Lender signed by the Borrower, the Borrower may terminate the Loan Commitment, or permanently reduce the Loan Commitment, provided that each partial reduction of the Loan Commitment shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000 or more (or such lesser amount as agreed by the Lender).

Section 2.4Repayment of Loans. On the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall repay any of its Loans then outstanding in full and shall additionally pay to the Lender all other sums, if any, then owing or accrued by it under this Agreement.

Section 2.5Prepayment. Upon one (1) Business Day’s (or such shorter period agreed by the Lender) written notice from a Borrower to the Lender, the Borrower may voluntarily prepay in whole or in part its Loans without premium or penalty.

Section 2.6Interest on Loans.

(a)Each Loan shall accrue interest at a rate equal to 12.0% per annum.

(b)The Borrower shall pay interest due and payable on its Loans in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date.

(c)While an Event of Default exists or after acceleration of the Loans in accordance with Article VI, at the option of the Lender, interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans of the Borrower (and any unpaid interest with respect thereto) will accrue at the Default Interest Rate (the “Default Interest”). All Default Interest will be payable by the Borrower upon demand by the Lender.

Section 2.7Computation of Interest. All computations of interest shall be made by the Lender on the basis of a year of 360 days. Each determination by the Lender of an interest amount hereunder shall, except for manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

Section 2.8Evidence of Debt. The Loans made by the Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by the Lender. The accounts or records maintained by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lender to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure so to record or any error in doing

6

so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Borrower’s Loans.

Section 2.9Payments Generally.

(a)All payments by the Borrower to the Lender hereunder shall be made to the Lender at the Payment Office in immediately available funds without setoff or counterclaim. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of the payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be made payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.

(b)If on the Maturity Date, insufficient funds are received by and available to the Lender to pay fully all amounts of principal and interest due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal due hereunder.

Section 2.10Taxes. Any and all payments by the Borrower under each Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes. If any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Lender, then the Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings of Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)Amounts borrowed under Section 2.1(a) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

Section 2.2Borrowing Procedure.
