6 Content and layout of the Terms of Business SPF-Danmark* purchases breeding stock* and sells them on. Breeding stock* are primarily purchased from DanAvl herds with red SPF health status. In all transactions involving breeding stock*, SPF* thus acts as both buyer and seller. SPF* purchases pigs from a Seller* and sells them on to a Buyer*. The Seller* and the Buyer* do not enter into a contract with one another but with SPF* via a Business Agreement*. These Terms of Business contain Terms of Purchase, which apply to SPF-Danmark s* purchase of pigs, as well as Terms of Sale, which apply to SPF's* sale of the same pigs. The Terms of Purchase and Terms of Sale are contained in this document in two columns, ensuring that factors concerning the same conditions appear side by side. A number of terms apply jointly to the relationships between SPF* and the Seller* and between SPF* and the Buyer*. Such Common Terms appear across both columns. Terms and phrases marked with an asterisk (*) are defined in Appendix H. Significant changes in the Terms of Business in relation to the 2011 edition are indicated by green shading in the clause column. Clause Terms of Purchase Terms of Sale Common Terms 1.

The Seller's* legal buyer is thus SPF*, and the Buyer's* legal seller is SPF*. The Seller* is thus the supplier* of the pigs while the Buyer* is the recipient* A Business Agreement* is entered into as either a) a three-party agreement* in which Seller*, SPF* and Buyer* are all parties* to the same agreement, or b) a two-party agreement* in which SPF* as the one party* enters into two separate agreements with the Seller* and the Buyer* respectively Business Agreements* are of three types a) Delivery Agreements, which are three-party or two-party agreements* used for - the establishment of a new sow herd; SPF-Danmark s Terms of Business; Breeding Stock; Purchase, sale and transport in Denmark and for export, 2015 Page 6 of 44
