The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any debt securities of a series and the rights of and limitations upon owners of beneficial interests in a global security will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The indenture and the debt securities will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The directors and officers of each registrant are covered by insurance policies maintained and held in effect by CF Industries Holdings, Inc., at its expense, subject to exclusions and deductions as are usual in these kinds of insurance policies, against specified liabilities which may be incurred in those capacities.

Registrants Incorporated or Formed Under Delaware Law

CF Industries Holdings, Inc. ("CF Holdings"), CF Industries, Inc., Terra Capital, Inc., Beaumont Ammonia Inc., Beaumont Holdings Corporation, BMC Holdings Inc., Port Neal Corporation, Terra Capital Holdings, Inc., Terra Environmental Technologies Inc., Terra (U.K.) Holdings Inc., Terra International, Inc., Terra International (Oklahoma) Inc., Terra Houston Ammonia, Inc., Terra Methanol Corporation, Terra Mississippi Nitrogen Inc., Terra Nitrogen Corporation and Terra Nitrogen GP Holdings Inc. are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Reference is made to Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), which enables a corporation in its certificate of incorporation to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for violations of the director's fiduciary duty, except (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL (providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions); or (iv) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit.

Reference is also made to Section 145 of the DGCL, which provides that a corporation may indemnify any persons, including officers and directors, who are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed legal action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or

II-1

Table of Contents

investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, 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, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. 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 director, officer, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was unlawful. Section 145 of the DGCL also provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where a present or former officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to in this paragraph, the corporation must indemnify such officer or director against the expenses that such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. The indemnification permitted under the DGCL is not exclusive, and a corporation is empowered to purchase and maintain insurance against liabilities whether or not indemnification would be permitted by statute.

CF Holdings' certificate of incorporation provides for indemnification of officers and directors and their heirs and personal and legal representatives to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. The certificates of incorporation and/or bylaws of the other registrants incorporated under Delaware law 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. In addition, as permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, the certificates of incorporation of all of the registrants incorporated under Delaware law contain a provision eliminating the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, subject to some exceptions.

CF Holdings has entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of its directors and officers that require it to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. These indemnification agreements also require CF Holdings to advance any expenses incurred by the directors and officers as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.

Terra LP Holdings LLC is formed under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 18-108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act provides that a limited liability company may indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever, subject to any standards and restrictions that may be set forth in its limited liability company agreement.

Section 11 of the limited liability company agreement of Terra LP Holdings LLC provides that the member, the directors and officers of Terra LP Holdings LLC shall not be liable or accountable in damages or otherwise to Terra LP Holdings LLC for any act or omission done or omitted by such person in good faith, unless such act or omission constitutes fraud or willful misconduct or, in the case of a criminal matter, was undertaken with knowledge that the conduct was unlawful. Section 11 of the limited liability company agreement of Terra LP Holdings LLC further provides that Terra LP Holdings LLC shall indemnify the member, the directors or officers of Terra LP Holdings LLC to the fullest extent permitted by law against any loss, liability, damage, judgment, demand, claim, cost or expense incurred by or asserted against the member, the directors or officers of Terra LP Holdings LLC (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred in the defense thereof) arising out of any act or omission of the member, the directors or officers in connection with Terra LP Holdings LLC, unless such

Table of Contents

act or omission constitutes fraud or willful misconduct or, in the case of a criminal matter, was undertaken with knowledge that the conduct was unlawful.

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 (the "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 such person to be in the best interests of the corporation (in the case of conduct in such person's official capacity) or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation (in all other cases), 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.

Section 490.852 of the IBCA provides that a corporation must indemnify a director who is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which the director is a party because the director is or was a director of the corporation, against reasonable expenses incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding.

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.

Registrants Incorporated Under Maryland Law

Terra Industries Inc. ("Terra") is incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland. The Maryland General Corporation Law (the "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 director 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, (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the action or omission was unlawful, or (d) the proceeding was one by or in the right of the corporation and the director or officer was adjudged to be liable to the corporation.

Subject to certain limitations, the MGCL requires a corporation to indemnify a director or officer who was successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of a proceeding, claim, issue or matter to which the director or officer was made a party to by reason of service in that capacity for the reasonable expenses incurred by the director or officer in connection with such defense.

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.

Terra's charter provides for indemnification of directors and officers of Terra as follows: Terra 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

II-3

Table of Contents

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 Terra to indemnify other employees and agents consistent with law. Terra's charter also provides for elimination of the liability of its directors or officers to the corporation or its stockholders for money damages to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law.

Registrants Incorporated Under Mississippi Law

Terra Mississippi Holdings Corp. is incorporated 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.

Registrant Incorporated under New York Law

CF Composite, Inc. is incorporated under the laws of the State of New York. Section 722(a) of the New York Business Corporation Law (the "NYBCL") provides that a corporation may indemnify any officer or director, made or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding, other than one by or in the right of the corporation, including an action by or on the right of any other corporation or other enterprise, which any director or officer of the corporation served in any capacity at the request of the corporation, because he was a director or officer of the corporation, or served such other corporation or other enterprise in any capacity, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees actually and necessarily incurred as a result of such action or proceeding, or any appeal therein, if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or in the case of service for any other corporation or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, in criminal actions or proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

Section 722(c) of the NYBCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any officer or director made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of any other corporation of any type or kind, or other enterprise, against amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and necessarily incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, or in connection with an appeal therein, if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for another corporation or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation. The corporation may not, however, indemnify any officer or director pursuant to Section 722(c) in respect of (i) a threatened action, or a pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of, or (ii) any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action was brought or, if no action was brought, any court of competent jurisdiction, determines upon application, that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such portion of the settlement and expenses as the court deems proper.

Section 723 of the NYBCL provides that an officer or director who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of a civil or criminal action of the character set forth in Section 722 is entitled to indemnification as permitted in such section. Section 724 of the NYBCL permits a court to award the indemnification required by Section 722.

Neither the certificate of incorporation nor the by-laws of CF Composite, Inc. contain provisions regarding the indemnification of directors or officers.

Item 17. 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 this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is a part of the registration statement.

(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

II-5

Table of Contents

offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time to be deemed the initialbona 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.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initialbona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is a part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was a part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit

II-6

Table of Contents

plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement 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 initialbona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, 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 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 director, 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
