Item 1.01 |

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On September 20, 2005, we entered into a third amendment to our term credit agreement with The
Bank of Nova Scotia and other financial institutions dated as of September 25, 2001 and previously
amended on September 23, 2003 and September 21, 2004. A copy of the third amendment is attached
hereto as Exhibit 4(a).
The
third amendment
extends the maturity date of the credit agreement to September 30, 2010.
The third amendment further provides for successive one-year extensions of the credit agreement
upon the agreement of us and the lenders. Pursuant to the terms of the third amendment, if a
lender does not consent to an extension of the maturity date, we may
elect to replace that lender, provided lenders holding a majority of
commitments have agreed to the extension.
Additionally, the third amendment (1) provides for the release of the guaranty by PCS Nitrogen, Inc. of our obligations under the
credit agreement, (2) amends the commitment amounts of the
individual lenders and (3) reduces the
interest rate margins and standby fee rates.
