(“JH”) to terminate the Supply Agreement of March 2017 and discharge in full any and all liabilities and obligations between the parties under the Supply Agreement.

The Supply Agreement was entered into in connection with a sulphate of potash production facility to be built by Valleyfield Fertilizer Corporation in Valleyfield, Quebec (the “Facility”).
