INGESTION: Do not eat, drink, handle tobacco, or apply cosmetics in areas where there is a potential for exposure tothis material. Always wash thoroughly after handling.EYES: Where eye contact is likely, use chemical splash goggles. Facilities storing or utilizing this materialshould be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.SKIN: Where contact is likely, wear chemical-resistant (such as nitrile or butyl) gloves, coveralls, socks andchemical-resistant footwear. For overhead exposure, wear chemical-resistant headgear.INHALATION: A respirator is not normally required when handling this substance. Use process enclosures, local exhaustventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below exposure limits. A NIOSHcertifiedcombination air-purifying respirator with an N, P, R or HE class filter and an organic vapourcartridge may be used under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceedexposure limits (e.g. emergency spills).SECTION – 9: PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIESAppearance: Beige opaque liquid.Formulation Type: Liquid suspension.Odour: Weak aromatic.pH: 6.25 (1% aqueous solution @ 25 °C).Vapour pressure and reference temperature: Fludioxonil: 2.9 x 10 -9 mmHg @ 25 °CMetalaxyl-M (and S isomer): 2.5 x 10 -5 mmHg @ 25 °CThiabendazole: 4.0 x 10 -9 mmHg @ 25 °CAzoxystrobin 8.25 x 10 -13 mmHg @ 25 ºCVapour density: Not available.Boiling point: Not available.Melting point: Not applicable.Freezing point: Not available.Specific gravity or density: 1.13 g/cm 3 @ 20°CEvaporation Rate: Not available.Water/oil partition coefficient: Log Kow Metalaxyl-M (and S isomer): 1.71Log Kow Fludioxonil: 4.1Log Kow Azoxystrobin: 2.5Log Kow Thiabendazole: 2.4Odour threshold: Not available.Viscosity: 700 mPas (or cps) @ 20°CSolubility in Water: Fludioxonil: 1.8 mg/L @ 25 °CMetalaxyl-M (and S isomer): 26 g/L @ 25 °CThiabendazole Technical: 30 mg/L @ 20 °CAzoxystrobin 6 mg/L @ 20 ºCSECTION – 10: STABILITY AND REACTIVITYChemical stability: Stable under normal use and storage conditions.Conditions to avoid: None known.Incompatibility with other materials: None known.Hazardous decomposition products: Can decompose at high temperatures forming toxic gases.Hazardous polymerization: Will not occur.SECTION – 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATIONAcute toxicity/Irritation Studies (Finished Product):Ingestion:Low Acute ToxicityOral (LD50 Rat):(based on a> 5,000 mg/kg body weightsubstantially similar formulation)MAXIM ® QUATTRO SEED TREATMENTPAGE 4 OF 7

Changes inurine colour (predominantly blue) occurred following repeated dosing in dogs,rats and mice.Liver effects at high dose levels in animal models.Liver effects at high dose levels in animal models.Animal studies with thiabendazole showed increased incidence of anemia indogs; changes in the thyroid, liver, spleen, kidney and gall bladder, andslightly decreased red blood cell counts and haemoglobin levels in rats.No adverse health effects are expected in humans at airborne levels below theoccupational exposure limit.CarcinogenicityFludioxonil Technical:Azoxystrobin Technical:Metalaxyl-M Technical:Thiabendazole Technical:No evidence of carcinogenicity in rodent studies.No evidence of carcinogenicity in rodent studies.No evidence of carcinogenicity in rodent studies.No evidence of carcinogenicity in rodent studies.Other Toxicity Information:None.Toxicity of Other ComponentsThe acute toxicity test results reported in Section 11, above, for the finished product take into account any acutehazards related to the “other components” in the formulation.Propylene GlycolReported to cause central nervous system depression (anesthesia, dizziness, confusion), headache andnausea. Also, eye irritation may occur with lacrimation but no residual discomfort or injury. Prolongedcontact to skin may cause mild to moderate irritation and possible allergic reactions. Chronic dietaryexposure caused kidney and liver injury in experimental animals.MAXIM ® QUATTRO SEED TREATMENTPAGE 5 OF 7

Thefungicide, metalaxyl-M (and S isomer), is practically non-toxic to slightly toxic to fish, birds, aquatic invertebrates (waterflea). Fludioxonil is practically non-toxic to birds, but is moderately to very highly toxic to fish (rainbow trout) and aquaticinvertebrates (water flea). Azoxystrobin is practically nontoxic to insects and birds, but are moderately to highly toxic tofish and aquatic invertebrates (water flea).Eco-Acute ToxicityFludioxonil Technical:Green Algae 5-Day EC 50Invertebrates (Water Flea) 48-hour EC 50Fish (Rainbow Trout) 96-hour LC 50Bird (Bobwhite Quail) 8-day Dietary LC 50Azoxystrobin Technical:Green Algae 5-day EC 50Invertebrates (Water Flea) 48-hour EC 50Fish (Rainbow Trout) 96-hour LC 50Birds (Bobwhite Quail) 5-day Dietary LD 50Metalaxyl-M Technical:Green Algae 5-Day EC 50Invertebrates (Water Flea) 48-hour /EC 50Fish (Rainbow Trout) 96-hour LC 50Bird (Bobwhite Quail) 5-day Dietary LD 50Thiabendazole Technical:Invertebrates (Daphnia magna) 48-hour LC 50 /EC 50Fish (Rainbow Trout) 96-hour LC 50 /EC 50Bird (Bobwhite Quail) LD 500.83 ppm0.90 ppm0.23 ppm> 5,2000 mg/kg120 ppb280 ppb470 ppb> 5,290 mg/kg140 ppm28 ppm130 ppm> 5,000 ppm0.31 ppm0.56 ppm> 2,250 mg/kgEnvironmental FateThe active ingredient, thiabendazole, has a low bioaccumulation potential, low mobility, and moderate to high persistencein soil, but is not persistent in water.
