Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Financial Statements and Exhibits


Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On May 8, 2009, Pryor Chemical Company ("Pryor Chemical"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of LSB Industries, Inc. within its chemical business, has entered into a Urea Ammonium Nitrate Purchase and Sale Agreement ("Agreement") with Koch Nitrogen Company, LLC ("KNC") dated May 7, 2009. Under the Agreement, KNC will purchase substantially all of the urea ammonium nitrate ("UAN") production at the Pryor Chemical facility located at Pryor, Oklahoma (the "Pryor Plant").

The Agreement provides for a five year term beginning July 1, 2009, with an optional one-year renewal, but may be terminated after August 1, 2010 (a) by KNC upon six months' notice or (b) by Pryor Chemical upon three months' notice or if the Pryor Plant is shut down for lack of profitability. The Agreement may also be terminated by KNC or Pryor Chemical if the Pryor Plant has not produced commercial quantities of UAN by November 30, 2009.

The Agreement provides that, subject to certain conditions, if KNC fails to purchase a minimum quantity of UAN each month during the term, KNC will pay to Pryor Chemical a shortfall payment based upon a daily production of 857 tons of UAN. No shortfall payment is payable once KNC has purchased at least 300,000 tons of UAN in the applicable annual period. The aggregate shortfall payment over the term of the Agreement will not exceed $4.5 million.

Under the terms of the Agreement, if Pryor Chemical fails to produce and make available for delivery to KNC at least 60,000 tons of UAN during a particular quarterly period, Pryor Chemical will pay KNC a credit based on the amount of the shortfall. Pryor Chemical must also pay KNC a make-whole payment if Pryor Chemical fails to deliver UAN that has been committed by KNC for resale, subject to the terms of the Agreement. KNC has the exclusive right under the Agreement to purchase substantially all of the UAN produced at the Pryor Plant and the limited first right to purchase additional amounts.

Delivery of the UAN will generally be made by railcars leased by Pryor Chemical. The leased railcars will be managed by KNC pursuant to the terms of a Railcar Management Agreement, dated May 7, 2009 (the "Railcar Agreement"), between Pryor Chemical and KNC.

This description of the Agreement and the Railcar Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement and the Railcar Agreement, each of which is attached to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
