SHAKE WELL BEFORE USE

GENERAL INFORMATION

REQUIEM® is a contact insecticide/acaricide for use in the control or suppression of many foliage feeding plants including aphids, thrips, plant-feeding mites, whiteflies, mealy bugs, leafminers, lygus bugs, scale, leaf hoppers, and lepidopterous insects infesting labeled crops. The emulsifiable concentrate of REQUIEM must be mixed with water and applied as a foliar spray with ground equipment equipped for conventional insecticide spraying.

MIXING AND APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Do not apply this product by aerial application or through any type of irrigation system.

REQUIEM is toxic to aquatic invertebrates.  Users must maintain the following buffer zones:  Groundboom and air-blast spray applicators must not apply within 15 feet of aquatic habitats (such as, but not limited to, lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams, marshes, ponds, estuaries, and commercial fish ponds).  Groundboom and air-blast applicators must also account for wind direction and speed.  Only apply this product if the wind direction favors on-target deposition.  Do not apply when the wind velocity exceeds 10 mph. Do not apply when a rain event is expected within 2 hours.

Shake container well before use. REQUIEM must be diluted with water for spray applications. Partially fill the spray tank with clean water, add the specified amount of REQUIEM to the tank, and finish filling the tank to the proper volume to obtain the desired application rate per acre as specified in the crop and pest tables listed below. Use at dilutions no more concentrated than 2% v/v.

Compatibility: Do not combine REQUIEM in the spray tank with other pesticides, surfactants, adjuvants, or fertilizers if there has been no previous experience or use of the combination to show it is physically compatible, and non-injurious under your use conditions.

Do not use REQUIEM in tank mixes or in a program or in rotation with products containing captan (with REQUIEM either preceding or following captan applications) in any crop. Use of REQUIEM with captan-containing products may result in phytotoxicity.

Do not use REQUIEM in tank mixture combinations or in rotation with any product containing a label warning against using surfactants, methylated seed oils, oils or other adjuvants.

As with many Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC) formulations, certain combinations can exacerbate phytotoxicity problems. Products which are phytotoxic when used alone may be more phytotoxic when used with an EC formulation such as REQUIEM. AgraQuest has not tested all varieties and cultivars of all crops and potential tank-mix or rotational combinations.

To ensure crop safety, test REQUIEM in combination and in rotation with other products on a small portion of the crop. Wait at least 24-72 hours to evaluate results before applying to the entire field.  If phytotoxicity is noted, and if it is determined that the level of phytotoxicity will result in economic losses to the crop, do not make the application to the crop.

To ensure physical compatibility of tank-mix combinations they must be evaluated prior to use. When products are physically compatible, a homogeneous solution is formed.  To determine the physical compatibility of this product with other products, use a jar test. Using a quart jar, add the proportionate amounts of the products to approximately one quart of water with agitation. Add dry formulations first, then flowables, then emulsifiable concentrates last. After thorough mixing, allow this mixture to stand for 15 minutes. If the mixture in the test jar remains uniform for 15 minutes, the combination is compatible and can be used.  If separation occurs (e.g. oils float to top, clumps of solids form, etc.), the combination is incompatible and do not use the mixture. Once compatibility has been proven, use the same procedure for adding required ingredients to the spray tank.

Use of Adjuvants: The use of adjuvants with REQUIEM is not required.

Biological Control Agents: This product is compatible with the following biological control agents: Encarsia formosa, Amblyseius fallacis, Phytoseiulus persimilis, Orius insidiosus, Aphidius colemani, Zetzellia mali, Neoseiulus fallacies, Typhlodromus pyri, Stethorus punctum, lacewings, syrphid fly larvae, phytoseiid mite predators, aphid midges, lady beetles, and other predacious mites.  Wait at least 2 hours after application before introducing new biological agents, or spray the evening before the day of introduction of new biological control agents.

AgraQuest is committed to the practice of sound resistance management programs that include rotation and tank mixing with other treatments having a variety of modes of actions.

APPLICATION

Use REQUIEM early in the pest cycle when local thresholds are reached or before insects reach damaging levels. REQUIEM is a contact insecticide and thorough coverage is necessary for optimum control.  Use appropriate nozzles and nozzle configurations, along with sufficient spray volume to achieve thorough coverage.  Rates of REQUIEM may need to increase with increased insect populations and/or large plant canopies.  It is not necessary to use a surfactant with REQUIEM.

REQUIEM can be applied with commonly used ground equipment. Use of air-blast spray equipment may result in overhead exposure and requires the use of chemical-resistant headgear.

When using REQUIEM with a new crop, test on a small area before applying to the entire field. Do not apply REQUIEM more than 10 times per crop production cycle.

PREHARVEST INTERVAL

REQUIEM can be applied up to and including the day of harvest. However, note that the restricted entry interval (REI) is 4 hours.

SPRAY DRIFT PRECAUTIONS

Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment- and weather–related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower/treatment coordinator are responsible for considering all of these factors when making decisions. Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed. Note: This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label requirements.

All ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers.

Make ground applications when the wind velocity favors on target product deposition (approximately 3 to 10 mph). Do not apply when wind velocity exceeds 10 mph. Avoid applications when wind gusts approach 10 mph.

Risk of exposure to sensitive areas can be reduced by avoiding applications when wind direction is toward the area.

Low humidity and high temperatures increase the evaporation rate of spray droplets and therefore the likelihood of increased spray drift. Avoid spraying during conditions of low humidity and/or high temperature.

Do not make ground applications during temperature inversions. Inversions are characterized by stable air and increasing temperatures with height above the ground. Mist or fog may indicate the presence of an inversion in humid areas. The applicator may detect the presence of an inversion by producing smoke and observing a smoke layer near the ground surface.

GENERAL INFORMATION

METRONOMETM is an Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC) Insecticide and Acaricide for Use on Field and Container-grown Non-Food Ornamental Plants in Commercial Nurseries, Greenhouses, and Lath- and Shade-houses. Not For Residential Use.

METRONOME is a contact insecticide/acaricide for use in the control of aphids, plant-feeding mites, whiteflies, mealy bugs, leafminers, thrips, fungus gnats, and tarnished plant bugs. METRONOME can be applied to field and container-grown non-food ornamentals – trees, Christmas trees, shrubs, flowers, annual and perennial bedding plants, potted flowers, and tropical plants.

MIXING AND APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Do not apply this product by aerial application or through any type of irrigation system.

METRONOME is toxic to aquatic invertebrates.  Users must maintain the following buffer zones:  Airblast spray applicators must not apply within 15 feet of aquatic habitats (such as, but not limited to, lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams, marshes, ponds, estuaries, and commercial fish ponds).  Groundboom and airblast applicators must also account for wind direction and speed.  Only apply this product if the wind direction favors on-target deposition.  Do not apply when the wind velocity exceeds 10 mph. Do not apply when a rain event is expected within 2 hours.

Shake container well before use. METRONOME must be diluted with water for spray applications. Partially fill the spray tank with clean water, add the specified amount of METRONOME to the tank (see table below), and finish filling the tank to the desired volume to obtain the proper spray concentration for the desired application rate per acre.

Gallons Water per Acre	METRONOME  gallons

0.5% solution	METRONOME  gallons

1% solution

25	0.12 (16 fl oz)	0.25 (32 fl oz)

50	0.25 (32 fl oz)	0.5 (64 fl oz)

75	0.37 (48 fl oz)	0.75 (96 fl oz)

100	0.5	1

   For smaller quantities, mix at a rate of 0.65 – 1.3 fl. oz. METRONOME  per 1 gallon of water.

Apply on a 7- to 14-day schedule as necessary.  Apply METRONOME at first sign of insect pressure or plant-feeding mite infestation.  Use higher application rate under conditions of heavy pest pressure.  Uniform coverage of both upper and lower leaves is critical for effective pest control.  Avoid overspraying to the point of excessive runoff. Do not apply METRONOME more than 10 times per year.

METRONOME can be applied with commonly used ground equipment, hose-end, pressurized, greenhouse, and hand-held sprayers.

Biological Control Agents: This product is compatible with the following biological control agents: Encarsia formosa, Amblyseius fallacis, Phytoseiulus persimilis, Orius insidiosus,  Aphidius colemani,  Zetzellia mali, Neoseiulus fallacies, Typhlodromus pyri, Stethorus punctum,  lacewings, syrphid fly larvae, phytoseiid mite predators, aphid midges, lady beetles, and other predacious mites.  Wait at least 2 hours after application before introducing new biological agents, or spray the evening before the day of introduction of new biological control agents.

AgraQuest is committed to the practice of sound resistance management programs that include rotation and tank mixing with other treatments having a variety of modes of actions.

Compatibility: Do not combine METRONOME in the spray tank with other pesticides, surfactants, adjuvants, or fertilizers if there has been no previous experience or use of the combination to show it is physically compatible, and non-injurious under your use conditions.

Do not use METRONOME in tank mixes or in a program or in rotation with products containing captan (with METRONOME either preceding or following captan applications) in any crop. Use of METRONOME with captan-containing products may result in phytotoxicity.

Do not use METRONOME in tank mixture combinations or in rotation with any product containing a label warning against using surfactants, methylated seed oils, oils or other adjuvants.

As with many Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC) formulations, certain combinations can exacerbate phytotoxicity problems. Products which are phytotoxic when used alone may be more phytotoxic when used with an EC formulation such as METRONOME. AgraQuest has not tested all varieties and cultivars of all crops and potential tank-mix or rotational combinations.

To ensure physical compatibility of tank-mix combinations they must be evaluated prior to use. When products are physically compatible, a homogeneous solution is formed.  To determine the physical compatibility of this product with other products, use a jar test. Using a quart jar, add the proportionate amounts of the products to approximately one quart of water with agitation. Add dry formulations first, then flowables, then emulsifiable concentrates last. After thorough mixing, allow this mixture to stand for 15 minutes. If the mixture in the test jar remains uniform for 15 minutes, the combination is compatible and can be used.  If separation occurs (e.g. oils float to top, clumps of solids form, etc.), the combination is incompatible and do not use the mixture. Once compatibility has been proven, use the same procedure for adding required ingredients to the spray tank. Test the combination on a small number of plants to check for phytotoxicity before treating large areas. Do not use the combination if adverse effects are observed.

PLANTS EVALUATED FOR PHYTOTOXICITY

METRONOME has been evaluated alone in a wide range of crops and ornamentals. However, since testing on all varieties of all ornamentals is not feasible, testing a small portion of the area to be treated for phytotoxicity is required before treating the entire area. Further, all possible combinations or sequences of pesticide sprays, including other fertilizers, surfactants, adjuvants and other pesticides, have not been tested, thus testing for compatibility and phytotoxicity of spray mixtures is required. Use the product in accordance with all label use directions. It is further required that spray equipment used to apply METRONOME be thoroughly cleaned before use.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-61131; File No. SR-ISE-2009-101]

 Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities
Exchange, LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed
Rule Change Relating to Fee Changes

December 8, 2009.

    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on November 24, 2009, the International Securities Exchange, LLC
(the ``Exchange'' or the ``ISE'') filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change, as
described in Items I, II, and III below, which items have been prepared
by the self-regulatory organization. The Commission is publishing this
notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested
persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The ISE is proposing to amend its Schedule of Fees regarding its
Competitive Market Maker (``CMM'') Inactivity Fee. The text of the
proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site (http://
www.ise.com), on the Commission's Web site at http://www.sec.gov, at
the principal office of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public
Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The self-regulatory organization
has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B and C below, of the
most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    ISE proposes to amend its Schedule of Fees regarding its CMM
Inactivity Fee. Specifically, the Exchange proposes to amend its
current CMM Inactivity Fee for any member who is not currently a market
maker and acquires one or more CMM Trading Right by providing the
Exchange the ability to waive this fee for up to three full calendar
months.
    ISE currently charges the owner \3\ of a CMM membership an
Inactivity Fee of $25,000 a month per trading right if the owner does
not (i) itself operate the CMM membership, (ii) lease the CMM trading
right to another member which operates the CMM membership, or (iii)
avail itself to one of the exemptions specifically authorized in the
Notes to the CMM Inactivity Fee on the Schedule of Fees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Note to the CMM Inactivity Fee on the Schedule of Fees
provides that the fee applies to the owner of the CMM membership,
unless the inactive CMM membership is subject to a lease that was
approved by the Exchange prior to the effective date of the fee, in
which case the fee would apply to the lessee.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The purpose of the CMM Inactivity Fee has always been to promote
greater trading activity on the Exchange. The Exchange believes that
anything short of full utilization of its trading rights has adverse
consequences. Not only does the Exchange lose fee revenues that these
trading rights would generate, the ISE market place loses liquidity
that additional market making would provide. The Exchange, however,
also recognizes that firms, and in particular firms that are new
members of the Exchange, need time to ramp up their operations to the
point where they are able to efficiently operate as a market maker.
Under the Exchange's current fee schedule, a new market maker would be
subject to an inactivity fee of $25,000 per Trading Right per month if
that market maker is not able to commence operations immediately after
purchasing the Trading Rights. The Exchange believes assessing this fee
is a strong disincentive for any new member to acquire Trading Rights
and become a market maker on the Exchange.
    Thus, the Exchange proposes to amend its current CMM Inactivity Fee
with respect to any member who acquires one or more CMM Trading Right
by providing the Exchange the ability to waive this fee for up to three

full calendar months. The waiver, which would be granted by an Exchange
official designated by the Exchange's Board of Directors, would only
apply if the member purchasing the Trading Rights is not currently an
ISE market maker and needs additional time to commence its operations
on the Exchange as a market maker. The Exchange believes granting the
waiver will provide new market makers sufficient time to become
operationally ready.
    This proposed fee change will be operative on December 1, 2009.
2. Statutory Basis
    The basis under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Exchange
Act'') for this proposed rule change is the requirement under Section
6(b)(4) that an exchange have an equitable allocation of reasonable
dues, fees and other charges among its members and other persons using
its facilities. In particular, the proposed fee change will allow the
Exchange to recoup lost revenue and encourage the timely operation of
its CMM Trading Rights.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The proposed rule change does not impose any burden on competition
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others

    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any unsolicited written comments from members or other interested
parties.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
