ADDENDUM
WILDLIFE INTERNATIONAL, LTD. PROJECT NUMBER: 454A- 103A 3M LAB REQUEST NO. U2723
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Series 850 - Ecological Effects Test Guidelines
OPPTS Number 850.5400 and
OECD Guideline 201
This study was reported using a test substance purity of 90.49%. The test substance characterization was revised on 9/7/00 and the purity was determined to be 86.9%. The Sponsor
requested that the results be revised based on the most recent purity analyses. The results previously presented were simply corrected by the ratio of the two purities or a factor of 0.9603. No attempt was made to recalculate analytical standard concentrations or measured concentrations from original raw data. As such, minor errors due to rounding may be present. Attached is the revised summary page from the final report and the most recent certificate of analysis.

_Purity = 100% - (sum of metal impurities, 1.45% +LC/MS impurities, 8.41%+Inorganic Fluoride, 0.59%+NMR impurities, 1.93%+organic acid impurities, 0.38%+POAA, 0.33%)
Total impurity from all tests = 13.09% Purity = 100% - 13.09% = 86.9%
2potassium is expected in this salt form and is therefore not considered an impurity.
3purity by DSC is generally not applicable to materials of low purity. No endotherm was observed for this sample.
4Sulfur in the sample appears to be converted to SOs and hence detected using the inorganic anion method conditions. The anion result agrees well with the sulfur determination in the elemental analysis, lending confidence to this interpretation. Based on the results, the SO4 is not considered an impurity.

Note: The C4 and C6 values were calculated using the C4 and C6 standard calibration curves, respectively. The C5 value was calculated using the average response factors from the C4 and C6 standard curves. Likewise, the C7 value was calculated using the average response factors from the C6 and C8 standard curves.
