principal of and any premium and interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and
the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized
in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of
authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to
the designated transferee or transferees. 

        If
at any time the Depositary for this Note notifies the Company that it is unwilling or
unable to continue as Depositary for this Note or if at any time the Depositary shall no
longer be eligible under the Indenture with respect to this Note, and if a successor
Depositary eligible under the Indenture for this Note is not appointed by the Company
within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such
ineligibility, the Company’s election that the Notes of this issue be represented by
a Book-Entry Security shall no longer be effective with respect to this Note, and the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of definitive Securities shall authenticate and deliver,
Securities in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of this Note in exchange for this Note. The Company may at any time and in its sole
discretion determine that the Securities of this series shall no longer be represented by
Book-Entry Securities. In such event the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon
receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate and deliver, Securities of this series in
definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the
Book-Entry Security or Securities representing this series in exchange for such Book-Entry
Security or Securities. 

        No
Holder of any Securities shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or
otherwise, with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee,
or for any other remedy under the Indenture, unless: (1) the Trustee shall have received
written notice from such Holder of a continuing Event of Default in respect of such
Securities; (2) the Trustee shall have received a written request from the Holders of not
less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the series in respect
of which the Event of Default has occurred to institute proceedings in respect of such
Event of Default in its own name as trustee under the Indenture; (3) such Holder or
Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the
costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; (4) the
Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has
failed to institute any such proceeding; and (5) no direction inconsistent with such
written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60 day period by the Holders of
a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series. 

        The
Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture
and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are
exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of
like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering
the same. 

        No
service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge payable in connection therewith. 

        No
recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or the
interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or
based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any
incorporator, stockholder, officer, director or employee, as such, past, present or
future, of the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any
constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty
or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the
consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released. 

        Prior
to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and
any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes (subject to Section 308 of the
Indenture), whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor
any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

        This
Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New
York without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. 

GUARANTEE

        For
value received, MONSANTO COMPANY, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws
of the State of Delaware (herein called the “Guarantor,” which term includes any
successor Person under the Indenture referred to in the Security upon which this Guarantee
is endorsed), hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Holder of the
Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed and to the Trustee for itself and on behalf
of the such Holder the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and any premium, and
interest on, such Security, and any other amount due and payable in respect of such
Security pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, when and as the same shall become due and
payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for
redemption, repurchase, or otherwise, according to the terms of such Security and of the
Indenture referred to therein. In case of the failure of Monsanto Finance Canada Co., an
unlimited liability company duly organized and existing under the laws of the Province of
Nova Scotia, Canada (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any
successor corporation under such Indenture), immediately to make any such payment of
principal, premium or interest on such other amounts, the Guarantor hereby agrees to cause
any such payment to be made immediately when and as the same shall become due and payable,
whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or
otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Company. 

        The
Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be as if it were principal
debtor and not merely surety, and shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of,
and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of such
Security or such Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of such Security or such
Indenture, or any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Company with respect
thereto, by the Holder of such Security or the Trustee, or any other circumstance which
may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. The
Guarantor hereby waives the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing
of claims with a court in the event or merger, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company,
any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with
respect to such Security or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever,
and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by strict and complete
performance of the obligations contained in such Security and this Guarantee. The
Guarantor hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in payment of principal of, any
premium or interest on, such Security, or other amount payable in respect thereof, legal
proceedings may be instituted immediately by the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holder
of such Security, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, directly against
the Guarantor to enforce this Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company. 

        The
Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of such Security and the Trustee
against the Company in respect of any amounts paid to such Holder by the Guarantor on
account of such Security pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee or the Indenture;
provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any
payments arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of,
and any premium and interest on, and all other amounts payable in respect of, all
Securities issued under such Indenture shall have been paid in full. 

        No
reference herein to such Indenture and no provision of this Guarantee or of such Indenture
shall alter or impair the guarantee of the Guarantor, which is absolute and unconditional,
of the due and punctual payment of principal of, any premium and interest on, and all
other amounts payable in respect of, the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed. 

        This
Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of
authentication of the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed shall have been
manually executed by or on behalf of the Trustee under such Indenture. 

        All
terms used in this Guarantee which are defined in such Indenture shall have the meanings
assigned to them in such Indenture. 

        This
Guarantee shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of New York,
and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York. 

        This
Guarantee is an unsecured obligation of the Guarantor, and ranks pari passu with
all other unsubordinated indebtedness of the Guarantor. 

        IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Guarantor has caused this Guarantee to be duly executed and dated as
of the date of the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed.
