1

Plaintiff Progeny Advanced Genetics, Inc. and Defendant Paragon Seed, Inc. (“Paragon”) 

hereby stipulate and agree as follows:

1. Paragon’s Motion to Dismiss Progeny’s Complaint with Prejudice was not 

intended to affect Progeny’s rights to revisit the claims asserted in the Complaint in an 

arbitration initiated under Paragraph 4(d) of the Settlement Agreement between Progeny and 

Paragon (the “Agreement”).

2. Paragon’s Motion to Dismiss Progeny’s Complaint with Prejudice was not 

intended to affect Progeny’s rights under Paragraph 4(e) of the Agreement to challenge a 

Paragon variety by future litigation if a Plant Variety Protection Certificate is denied to such 

variety.

3. In order that the record might be clear, the Parties respectfully request that the 

Court’s March 1, 2006, Order Granting Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss (Docket No. 28) be 

amended to insert the following sentence prior to the final sentence of the order which begins 

on line 15: 

This dismissal with prejudice does not affect Progeny’s rights (1) under

Paragraph 4(d) of the Settlement Agreement to pursue arbitration of the claims

raised in its complaint, or (2) under Paragraph 4(e) of the Settlement

Agreement, in the event that a Plant Variety Protection Certificate is denied to

Paragon for the Rubicon variety, to bring a claim in this forum that the Rubicon 

variety infringes the Progeny’s Plant Variety Protection Certificate.
