On December 26, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), CVR Partners, LP (the “Partnership”) entered into a Phantom Unit Agreement with Mark A. Pytosh, Chief Executive Officer and President of CVR GP, LLC, the general partner of the Partnership and a named executive officer, awarding Mr. Pytosh 66,522 phantom units and distribution equivalent rights.

The award vests in one-third annual increments beginning on December 26, 2015. Each phantom unit and distribution equivalent right represents the right to receive, upon vesting, a cash payment equal to (a) the average closing price of the common units of the Partnership for the 10 business days preceding the vesting date, plus (b) the cash value of all distributions declared and paid by the Partnership on the Partnership’s common units from the Effective Date to and including the vesting date.

If Mr. Pytosh is terminated other than for cause or he resigns for good reason, then the portion of the award scheduled to vest in the year in which such event occurs becomes immediately vested and the remaining portion is forfeited.
