PART II: INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS
Item 20: Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The following is a summary of the statutes, charter and bylaw provisions or other arrangements under which the registrants’ directors and officers are insured or indemnified against liability in their capacities as such. All of the directors and officers of the registrants are covered by insurance policies maintained and held in effect by Terra Industries Inc. against certain liabilities for actions taken in their capacities as such, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Registrants Incorporated Under Delaware Law
Beaumont Ammonia Inc., Beaumont Holdings Corporation, BMC Holdings Inc., Port Neal Corporation, Terra (U.K.) Holdings Inc., Terra Capital, Inc., Terra Capital Holdings, Inc., Terra International (Oklahoma) Inc., Terra International, Inc., Terra Methanol Corporation, Terra Nitrogen Corporation, Terra Houston Ammonia, Inc., Terra Mississippi Nitrogen Inc. and Terra Nitrogen GP Holdings, Inc. are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Statute”) provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”), other than an action by or in the right of such corporation, by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise (an “indemnified capacity”). The indemnity may include expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was illegal. Similar provisions apply to actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or director has actually and reasonably incurred. Section 145 of the Delaware Statute further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any indemnified person against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any indemnified capacity, or arising out of his status as such, regardless of whether the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him under the Delaware Statute. The articles of incorporationand/or by-laws of these corporations provide that the respective corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each person who is or was made a party, threatened to be made a party, or otherwise involved in any action, suit, or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, partner, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, or other enterprise, against expenses, liabilities, and losses. Furthermore, the directors of these respective corporations shall not be liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Statute.
Registrants Incorporated Under Iowa Law
Terra Real Estate Corporation is incorporated under the laws of the State of Iowa. Section 490.851 of the Iowa Business Corporation Act (“IBCA”) provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities and expenses incurred by reason of such person serving in the capacity of director or officer, if such person has acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed by the individual to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and in any criminal proceeding if such person had no reasonable cause to believe the individual’s conduct was unlawful. The foregoing indemnity provisions notwithstanding, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made to such director or officer with respect to any matter as to which such individual has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless, and only to the extent that, a court determines that indemnification is proper under the circumstances.
The By-laws of Terra Real Estate Corporation provide that any person who is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of this corporation as an officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or enterprise, shall be entitled to indemnification to the same extent as permitted or required by the IBCA.
II-1
Registrants Incorporated Under Mississippi Law
Terra Mississippi Holdings Corp. is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Mississippi. Indemnification of such registrant’s directors and officers provided by applicable law, by the registrant’s organizational documents, by contract or otherwise are substantially similar to that afforded by the directors and officers of Terra Industries Inc.
Registrants Incorporated Under Maryland Law
Terra Industries Inc. is incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland. The Maryland General Corporation Law (“MGCL”) permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities, unless it is established that (a) the act or omission of the directors or officer was material to the matter giving rise to such proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services, or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the action or omission was unlawful.
The MGCL permits the charter of a Maryland corporation to include a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages, except to the extent that (i) the person actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (ii) a judgment or other final adjudication is entered in a proceeding based on a finding that the person’s action, or failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding. Article SEVENTH, Paragraph (8) of Terra Industries Inc.’s Charter provides for indemnification of directors and officers of Terra Industries Inc. as follows. The Corporation shall indemnify (a) its directors to the full extent provided by the general laws of the State of Maryland now or hereafter in force, including the advance of expenses under the procedures provided by such laws; (b) its officers to the same extent it shall indemnify its directors; and (c) its officers who are not directors to such further extent as shall be authorized by the Board of Directors and be consistent with law. The foregoing shall not limit the authority of the Corporation to indemnify other employees and agents consistent with law. Terra Industries Inc.’s Charter also contains a provision providing for elimination of the liability of its directors or officers to the registrant or its stockholders for money damages to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law.

(b) | Financial Statement Schedules. |
The following financial statement schedules are included in this Registration Statement:
The financial statement schedule filed as part of this Registration Statement is listed in the Index to Financial Statements onpage F-1. Schedule II (Valuation of Qualify Accounts for the Years Ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 is shown following the consolidated financial statements on page F-46.
Item 22. | Undertakings. |
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
II-2
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 20, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a directors, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue
(c) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as a part of this Registration Statement in reliance on Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be a part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(d) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(e) The undersigned hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.
(f) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
