3 Fire Fighting Instructions Keep out of smoke. Fight fire from upwind position. Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray. Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses. In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions Methods for cleaning up Additional advice Keep unauthorized people away. Isolate hazard area. Avoid contact with spilled product or contaminated surfaces. Avoid dust formation. Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal. Clean contaminated floors and objects thoroughly, observing environmental regulations. Use personal protective equipment. Do not allow to enter soil, waterways or waste water canal. SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling procedures Handle and open container in a manner as to prevent spillage. Maintain exposure levels below the exposure limit through the use of general and local exhaust ventilation. Storing Procedures Store in a cool, dry place and in such a manner as to prevent cross contamination with other crop protection products, fertilizers, food, and feed. Store in original container and out of the reach of children, preferably in a locked storage area. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs. Work/Hygienic Procedures Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, using the toilet or applying cosmetics. Remove Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) immediately after handling this product. Before removing gloves clean them with soap and water. Remove soiled clothing immediately and clean thoroughly before using again. Wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION General Protection Follow all label instructions. Train employees in safe use of the product. Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such Page 3 of 9

STABILITY AND REACTIVITY Conditions to avoid Incompatibility Hazardous reactions Chemical Stability No hazardous reactions when stored and handled according to prescribed instructions. Stable under recommended storage conditions. SECTION 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION The acute dermal LD50 has been bridged from the technical-grade active ingredient, imidacloprid. The remaining acute toxicity studies have been performed on this product as formulated. The non-acute information pertains to the technical-grade active ingredient. Acute oral toxicity Acute dermal toxicity Acute inhalation toxicity Skin irritation Eye irritation female rat: LD50: > 2,000 mg/kg male/female combined rat: LD50: > 5,000 mg/kg Requirement waived due to the physical nature and proposed use pattern of the product. rabbit: No skin irritation rabbit: Minimally irritating.

6 Sensitisation Chronic toxicity guinea pig: Non-sensitizing. OECD Test Guideline 406, Magnusson & Kligman test Imidacloprid did not cause any significant specific adverse effects or target organ toxicity in subchronic toxicity studies. Assessment Carcinogenicity Imidacloprid was not carcinogenic in lifetime feeding studies in rats and mice. ACGIH NTP IARC OSHA Reproductive toxicity Developmental Toxicity Assessment neurotoxicity Mutagenicity Imidacloprid did not cause reproductive toxicity in a two-generation study in rats. Imidacloprid did not cause developmental toxicity in rats and rabbits. Imidacloprid showed slight behavioral and activity changes only at the highest dose tested in neurotoxicity studies in rats. There were no correlating morphological changes observed in the neural tissues. Imidacloprid was not mutagenic or genotoxic based on the overall weight of evidence in a battery of in vitro and in vivo tests. SECTION 12.
