PLN 98.723.092,98 (say: ninety eight million seven hundred and twenty three thousand and

ninety two and 98/100 polish zlotys)

to secure obligations arising from the MANDATORY BUY-OUT, including the payment of the purchase price, to buy shares of POLMOS BIAłYSTOK S.A.

Claims, if any, under the GUARANTEE will be honoured on your first written demand, stating that CAREY AGRI INTERNATIONAL POLAND Sp. z o.o. has not fulfilled its obligations under the MANDATORY BUY-OUT, without objection in respect of such obligations and without investigating or reviewing the reasons or grounds of such demand.

Each payment of CAREY AGRI INTERNATIONAL POLAND SP. Z O.O. on the account no.: PL27 1050 0086 1000 0022 0058 2167, SWIFT: INGB PL PW owned by ING Securities S.A., Plac Trzech Krzyzy 10/14, 00-499 Warsaw related to the purpose of issuing the guarantee (payment of purchase price of shares of POLMOS BIAŁYSTOK S.A.) will automatically reduce the amount of the guarantee. The rule resulting from the preceding sentence does not relate to payment of PLN 10.642.307,02 constituting the difference between PLN 109.365.400,00, i.e. the total purchase price of shares of POLMOS BIAŁYSTOK S.A. to be paid in the MANDATORY BUY-OUT and the amount of PLN 98.723.092,98 to be paid under this guarantee, to be made by CAREY AGRI INTERNATIONAL POLAND SP.

For identification purposes your demand for payment along with the statement that CAREY AGRI INTERNATIONAL POLAND SP. Z O.O has not fulfilled its obligations under the MANDATORY BUY-OUT must be sent by SWIFT or through the agency of another bank confirming that the signatures on the aforesaid documents have been put by authorized persons.


Should the amount due for the BENEFICIARY get reduced, among other reasons as a result of a partial payment of the amount due whose full payment is secured by this GUARANTEE, the total amount of this GUARANTEE decreases proportionally to the reduced amount secured by this GUARANTEE.

Any rights arising from this GUARANTEE may not be assigned in favour of any third party without our prior written consent, otherwise such assignment shall be deemed null and void.

This Agreement shall be subject to Polish law. Any disputes arising out of this GUARANTEE shall be settled in compliance with Polish law, and the Parties hereto submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the court in Warsaw in Poland.

I accept the model of the GUARANTEE.
