Neither nor DEALER shall be liable for incidental or consequential damages, including loss of profits. LIABILITY for damages for any cause, including breach of contract, breach of warranty and negligence, with respect to the sale of seed, is LIMITED to the purchase price of the seed. THIS REMEDY IS EXCLUSIVE. Purchaser accepts these terms unless he returns the seed within fifteen days for refund of the purchase price. Stine Seed Company has utilized standard industry isolation and purity procedures in the production of conventional seed products. Because of contamination factors beyond the company s control, Stine Seed Company can not warrant or represent that Stine seed products are free of genetically modified organisms. SEED COMPANY PURCHASE AGREEMENT Supplier represents, and Purchaser hereby acknowledges, that Supplier is engaged in the business of developing and supplying for sale various varieties of seed. Supplier has a substantial investment in the development and production of this Seed, and in the use of the subsequent production of the Seed herein sold. Supplier has expended substantial effort in developing a market for seed marketed by Stine Seed Company. Supplier has existing contractual relationships with other purchasers and growers for the sale of seed from Stine Seed Company and expectations of additional contracts for sale of seed from Stine Seed Company in the future. In consideration of the foregoing, and in consideration of the Seed herein sold, Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that the production from the Seed herein sold will be used only for feed or processing, and will not be used or sold for seed, breeding or any variety improvement purposes. Purchaser acknowledges Supplier s proprietary interest in the use of subsequent production from the Seed herein sold, and agrees it would be a violation of this Agreement to allow the subsequent production of the Seed herein sold to be used to create a seed variety or seed product from said production, which may be used for seed purposes by individuals or entities other than Stine Seed Company. Export of this seed or its progeny from the country of purchase is strictly prohibited, except that forage or grain may be exported solely for use in feeding or processing. Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that any use of the Seed herein sold, which is forbidden by this Agreement, will constitute a misappropriation of the personal property of Stine Seed Company, and will therefore result in a breach of this Agreement. Purchaser agrees that Supplier may bring an action to recover damages as a result of the breach of this Agreement, along with reasonable attorney fees and costs associated with any action commenced in regard thereto.

Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that any use of Seed from Stine Seed Company in violation of this Agreement will cause substantial damage to Stine Seed Company, and that if subsequent production of the Seed herein sold is used to create a seed variety or seed product, substantial damage to Stine Seed Company for all seed varieties or seed products thereby created will be caused. This Agreement shall not limit any other rights, legal or equitable, that the Supplier have but shall be accumulative. NOTICE OF REQUIRED ARBITRATION Under the seed laws of several states arbitration, mediation or conciliation is required as a prerequisite to maintaining a legal action based upon the failure of seed to produce as represented. The consumer shall file a complaint along with the required filing fee (where applicable) with the Commissioner/Director/ Secretary of Agriculture, Seed Commissioner, or Chief Agricultural Officer within such time as to permit inspection of the crops, plants or trees by the designated agency and the seedsman from whom the seed was purchased. A copy of the complaint shall be sent to the seller by certified or registered mail or as otherwise provided by state statute. OTHER TERMS & CONDITIONS For sale in the U.S. only.

Seed containing patented traits, such as seed containing the Roundup Ready and Roundup Ready 2 Yield traits, can only be used to plant a single commercial crop. It is unlawful to save and replant Roundup Ready soybeans and Genuity Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans. Additional information and limitations on these products are provided in the Monsanto Technology Stewardship Agreement and the Monsanto Technology Use Guide. The licensed U.S. patents for Monsanto technologies can be found at the following webpage: http://www.monsanto.com/productpatents NEW SEED DOESN T COST IT PAYS Extensive third-party research has demonstrated that the cost of planting saved soybean seed can meet or even exceed the cost of purchasing new seed. Factors considered include cleaning, bagging, and hauling saved seed, the opportunity cost associated with not selling one bushel of soybeans, and a documented yield disadvantage of 1.8 bushels per acre compared with purchasing new, high-yielding seed. Growers purchasing new seed from Stine benefit from dealer support and service both before and after the sale. These growers also have access to several various risk management benefits such as Monsanto s Roundup Rewards program. The purchase of new seed from Stine provides a grower with the industry s newest elite germplasm, which has been rigorously tested to Stine s strict quality standards. Stine can provide its customers with a reliable supply in most maturities. Dollars paid on the purchase of new seed provide funding for research and development of new traits and higher yielding germplasm. Stine Seed Company and its trait providers such as Monsanto are committed to our customer s success. 22555 Laredo Trail Adel, IA 50003 USA 800.362.2510 STINESEED.COM

IMPORTANT IRM INFORMATION: Genuity RIB Complete corn blend products do not require the planting of a structured refuge except in the Cotton-Growing Area where corn earworm is a significant pest. See the IRM/Grower Guide for additional information. Always read and follow IRM requirements. Roundup Technology includes Monsanto s glyphosate-based herbicide technologies. ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW PESTICIDE LABEL DIRECTIONS. Roundup Ready crops contain genes that confer tolerance to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup brand agricultural herbicides. Roundup brand agricultural herbicides will kill crops that are not tolerant to glyphosate.

LibertyLink Soybeans The LibertyLink trait with Liberty herbicide provides excellent weed control and preserves the yield potential of high-performing varieties. Soybeans with the LibertyLink trait allow growers to spray Liberty in-crop for nonselective postemergence control of even the toughest weeds, including Palmer amaranth, giant ragweed, waterhemp and marestail. Liberty works fast, controlling weeds within days versus weeks, before they jeopardize yield potential.

Respect the Rotation Statement Respect the Rotation is an initiative to elevate the importance and farmer adoption of herbicide diversity to prevent or manage weed resistance. Glyphosate weed resistance is a dominating threat throughout the U.S. that affects land values, rental agreements, conservation tillage and can greatly reduce yields. Use of Integrated Weed Management practices, such as use of residuals, pre-emergence herbicides and rotation of crops, traits and herbicides, is critical as no one method is likely to be completely successful.
