INDIGO CARBON
ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
These Indigo Carbon Additional Terms and Conditions (these “Terms”) are an integral part of the Indigo Carbon Agreement between You and Indigo (the “Agreement”). You understand and agree that these Terms form a part of, and are incorporated by reference into, the Agreement. Any capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Agreement. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Agreement, the terms of the Agreement shall supersede and control. From time to time, Your participation in Indigo Carbon may be subject to one or more addenda entered into between You and Indigo (an “Addendum”). To the extent there is any conflict between an Addendum and the Agreement or these Terms, the terms of the Addendum shall control.
Acknowledgements. You acknowledge, understand and agree as follows: (i) the Indigo Carbon program is a novel and pioneer program relating to agricultural carbon credits and the Carbon Credits generated under the program are subject to a number of factors that may be out of the control of Indigo, including, without limitation, evolving third-party rules, requirements, standards and policies relating to the quantification, verification and generation of Carbon Credits that are in development and may be subject to change, and market supply and demand for Carbon Credits that may fluctuate based on changing market conditions; (ii) because of the unpredictable and evolving nature of the Carbon Credit industry and the Carbon Credit market and Indigo’s status as a market maker for supply and demand, it may be difficult to establish set standards and pricing related to Carbon Credits; and (iii) in exchange for the opportunity to take part in a novel and evolving program, You are willing to accept the risks associated with a program of such attributes, including, without limitation, changing qualification and quantification standards and unpredictable pricing based on market forces.
Land. Land eligible for Indigo Carbon may include farmland or other types of land that Indigo may determine, in its discretion, to be eligible to participate in Indigo Carbon. As used herein, “Land” means any land enrolled in Indigo Carbon, and includes any “Farmland”, as defined in the Agreement (if applicable), and “Field” means any field or tract of land on Your Land. “Your Land” means land that:
Ongoing Eligibility Requirements. Your participation in Indigo Carbon, and any rights to payment associated therewith, is conditioned upon:
Indigo will determine Your compliance with the Ongoing Eligibility Requirements in its sole and absolute discretion. Your failure to provide timely satisfactory responses to any Indigo request that results in the failure or inability of Indigo to confirm Your eligibility for participation in, or to receive payment under, Indigo Carbon, or Your provision of any false or misleading information may result, in Indigo’s discretion, in Your disqualification from Indigo Carbon, the termination of Your right to receive any payments under Indigo Carbon, and the termination of the Agreement without any liability of Indigo to You.
Land Eligibility Requirements. You understand and hereby agree that the following eligibility requirements shall apply to your Land:
Other Eligibility Requirements. You understand and hereby agree that the following eligibility requirements shall apply with respect to Your control and operation of Your Land:
Generation and Ownership of Carbon Credits. You understand and hereby agree that all right, title and interest to any and all Carbon Credits (and underlying Carbon Attributes) arising from or related to Your Land shall belong exclusively to Indigo. Carbon Credits arising from Your Land will be verified and issued by a registry selected by Indigo (the “Registry”) and issued to and registered in the name of Indigo. You hereby disclaim any and all right, title and interest to any Carbon Credits and Carbon Attributes that arise from Your Land. Indigo will make payment to You for such Carbon Credits as set forth in the “Payment” section below. As used in these Terms, a “Carbon Credit” refers to a Carbon Credit verified by the Registry. For all Carbon Credits that attributed to Your Land, a buffer pool to protect against Reversals may be implemented for a portion of such Carbon Credits, as may be determined by Indigo in its discretion. You will not receive any payment for any Carbon Credits allocated to the buffer pool.
Payment Terms for Carbon Credits Generated On Or Prior To December 31, 2025. (RP1-RP4)
Any Carbon Credits generated under the Program on or prior to December 31, 2025 shall be subject to the payment terms in this section.
UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED WITH INDIGO, ALL PAYMENTS FOR CARBON CREDITS ISSUED UNDER INDIGO CARBON ARE SUBJECT TO MULTI-YEAR VESTING, SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE, AS SET FORTH HEREIN. The number of Carbon Credits issued and allocated to You (net of any buffer pool holdbacks to protect against Reversals), multiplied by the applicable Payment Rate is the payment that will be made to You (the “Payment”), which will be paid to You subject to vesting in five (5) installments over a period of five (5) calendar years as follows:
The payment and vesting terms set forth above are hereinafter the “2025 Payment Terms”. (RP5 and Beyond)
Payment Terms for Carbon Credits Generated On Or After January 1, 2026
Any Carbon Credits generated under the Program on or after January 1, 2026 shall be subject to the payment terms in this section. This section includes all Carbon Credits issued in February 2026 as part of the Carbon Credit cohort generated from final filing in March 2025.
The number of Carbon Credits issued and allocated to You (net of any buffer pool holdbacks to protect against Reversals), multiplied by the applicable Payment Rate is the payment that will be made to You (the “Payment”), which will be paid to You after the date that the applicable Carbon Credit is sold to a buyer.
Payment Terms General
Indigo may use any reasonable methodology to weigh, calculate, assign and allocate Carbon Credits among all fields participating in a Carbon Credit generation process (including, without limitation, allocating Carbon Credits among fields of Grower and other participants in the Program).
Indigo reserves the right to schedule payments for Program participants to provide for the orderly processing of payments (for example, without limitation, establishing a set payment date for batches of Program participants); provided, that You are paid any amounts due to You at least once per calendar year. Indigo may, at its option, accelerate vesting or payments, or otherwise make early payments, in its sole and absolute discretion, including in the event of higher than anticipated Carbon Credit sale volumes. Any instance of Indigo making an early or accelerated payment shall not constitute or otherwise be interpreted as an obligation of Indigo to make any such acceleration or early payment in the future, which shall always be in Indigo’s sole and absolute discretion.
Subject to Indigo’s right to batch payments and the other terms herein, all Payments to You under Indigo Carbon are subject to the issuance of Carbon Credits and the completed sale of such Carbon Credits to a buyer from Indigo, which includes the completion of payment in full from the applicable buyer. Payments will not accrue to You until the applicable Carbon Credit is sold and paid for in full. Except as otherwise set forth in Your Agreement or through an Addendum,
The Payment Rate shall be a percentage of the net Carbon Credit sale price. The net Carbon Credit sale price will be based on the price paid by the buyer of the Carbon Credit, net of all expenses related to the generation and sale of the Carbon Credit, including, without limitation, Indigo overhead costs, fees and expenses related to the monitoring, reporting, verification (MRV) process, fees and expenses related to the issuance and generation of Carbon Credits, service provider fees, enrollment partner fees, broker fees, demand referral fees, and any other reasonably related fees and expenses. At its option and in its discretion, for any cohort of Carbon Credits, Indigo may choose to exclude any fee or expense from calculation of net sale price and pay for such fee or expense directly. Exclusion of any fee or expense for any cohort does not obligate Indigo to exclude for any future cohorts. Indigo shall have discretion for reasonably determining the formulas, methods and manner of calculating the Payment Rate. Payment Rate may differ among Indigo Carbon participants and may vary based on buyer and date of purchase. To the extent any cohort of Carbon Credits generated has different prices, Indigo will apply a weighted average approach, with Indigo having discretion on weighting and the formula, methods and manner of calculating. Indigo reserves the right to assign a different Carbon Credit Payment Rate to Grower or any other participant in the Program in the event Grower or participant is enrolled in a specialized program or offer within the Program (for example, without limitation, if a specific Carbon Credit is tied to other ecosystem credits).
Prior to the completion of the sale of all Carbon Credits from any cohort of Carbon Credit issuances, Indigo may make payments based on estimated Payment Rates. Indigo reserves the right to adjust any future payments (upwards or downwards) to reflect the correct final Payment Rate for a cohort of Carbon Credits at the conclusion of the sale of all such Carbon Credits within such cohort. Prior to the completion of the sale of all Carbon Credits from a cohort, the Payment Rate may change based on real-time and actual market conditions, and, as such, all Payment Rates communicated prior to such event by Indigo or any representative shall be considered to be an estimate and shall not be deemed to be binding.
You must be enrolled and in good standing in Indigo Carbon as of the applicable vesting date for any portion of a Payment to vest and become payable. At Indigo’s option, any unvested portion of any Payment owed to You will be forfeited and any rights You may have to any unvested and unpaid portion of the Payment will be terminated in the event any of the following events occur: (i) a breach of any of Your obligations under the Agreement, including these Terms (or any failure to continuously meet any eligibility requirements hereunder); (ii) a Reversal, subject to the conditions contained in the “No Reversal” section of these Terms; (iii) subject to the “Suspensions ” section below, Your failure to continue to participate in the Program as a participant in good standing, as determined by Indigo, which includes, without limitation, the obligation to participate in each carbon credit generation and verification process (or other Indigo approved sustainability program that satisfies the carbon data harvest requirements) at least once per year, which includes final filing; (iv) a termination of the Agreement or Your participation in Indigo Carbon for any reason; or (v) the termination of Your exclusive right to use and control the Land where the applicable Carbon Credit is generated, whether by sale or other transfer of such portion of the Land or a termination of a lease or other grant of right to use the relevant portion of the Land or otherwise.
This section, including provisions relating to Payment or vesting schedule, may be adjusted between You and Indigo through an Addendum, which shall supersede in the event of a conflict with the Agreement or these Terms.
You are solely responsible for the distribution of any and all applicable payments under Indigo Carbon to such third parties to the extent You have any agreements with third parties relating to right to proceeds from Your Land.
You are solely responsible for giving prior notice to Indigo of any liens, encumbrances or any other rights that any third parties may have to any portion of any Payment. You agree to indemnify Indigo for any damages, losses, claims or liabilities of any third party relating to Your failure to provide Indigo such notice and payments made by Indigo to You.
Suspensions. For You to remain in good standing under Indigo Carbon, You are required to continuously participate (and complete) in every final filing process under Indigo Carbon for each of Your enrolled Fields that have previously been subject to any generation of Carbon Credits under Indigo Carbon (the “Final Filing Requirement”). The foregoing requirement can be satisfied through successful and completion of final filing under Indigo Carbon or an alternative Indigo-approved sustainability program filing or data submission process.
In the event You fail to complete the Final Filing Requirement at any time during the Term, You will, as of the final filing deadline date for which You did not complete the Final Filing Requirement (the “Non-Compliance Date”), be deemed to be no longer an active participant in Indigo Carbon, and all subsequent Payments that may otherwise be paid out to You under Indigo Carbon as of such non-compliance date shall immediately be suspended for a period extending until the generally applicable deadline for the immediately following final filing date under Indigo Carbon (the “Next Final Filing Date”). The period between the Non-Compliance Date and the Next Final Filing Date is the “Suspension Period”.
If, after failure to meet the Final Filing Requirement but prior to the end of the Suspension Period, You satisfactorily complete the final filing process under Indigo Carbon or an alternative Indigo-approved sustainability program (a “Reinstatement Filing”), then You will be deemed to have been reinstated and any payments that would have been paid to You during the Suspension Period if You had not failed to complete the Final Filing Requirement (the “Suspension Period Payments”) will be paid out to You at the next regularly scheduled Indigo Carbon scheduled farmer payment date. If You fail to complete a Reinstatement Filing on or prior to the end of the Suspension Period, then: (i) all payments after the Non-Compliance Date, including, without limitation, any Suspension Period Payments, will be permanently forfeited, (ii) You will be deemed to be a non-active participant in Indigo Carbon, (iii) You will not receive any further payments under the Program, and (iv) Indigo reserves the right to terminate all participation by You in Indigo Carbon.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in exceptional cases, Indigo may waive the provisions of this Section for You on an individual basis, either unilaterally, or upon an appeal by You in writing to CarbonSupport@indigoag.com.
Modeling; Methods. Indigo has the exclusive right, in its sole discretion, to select the methods, practices and manner (including, without limitation, timing and frequency) in which it determines Grower’s eligibility for participation in the Program (and any other Indigo offering) and how it quantifies, verifies, issues, allocates, audits and markets the Carbon Credits or other sustainability attributes for the Program. The foregoing includes, without limitation, the discretion to (i) determine how, when and whether Carbon Credits may be generated, verified, quantified, registered, issued or transferred, (ii) determine the timing, manner and conditions of any verification, sale and transfer of Carbon Credits under Carbon; (iii) determine deadlines for submission of relevant Grower Data; (iv) establish rules and standards for submission of Grower Data, (v) determine the sufficiency of submitted Grower Data, (vi) initiate (or control, change, cancel or delay) a verification process with a Registry, (vii) allocate and assign specific Carbon participants into verification cohorts, (viii) allocate total project-level Carbon Credits among fields or participants; (ix) manage and administer the verification and sale process, and (x) determine the timing of transfer of Carbon Credits to buyers. Grower will not be entitled to review or have access to any confidential or proprietary methods or models used by Indigo. You will not be entitled to review or have access to any confidential or proprietary methods or models used by Indigo.
Right to Exclude: Notwithstanding Your completion of any tasks or activities relating to the generation of Carbon Credits under Indigo Carbon, including, without limitation, the completion of the final filing process for any cohort, Indigo reserves the right to exclude the final submission of any Field or Land from any Carbon Credit verification, issuance and/or generation process in Indigo’s sole discretion (an “Exclusion”). If any Fields or Land is subject to an Exclusion, no Carbon Credits will arise from such Fields/Land, and You will not be eligible for any payment relating to such Fields/Land. Reasons for Exclusion may include, without limitation, a determination by Indigo that the Fields/Land subject to the Exclusion is not projected to generate a meaningful number of Carbon Credits. Any Field or Land being subject to an Exclusion shall not, by itself, be the basis of holding You to be outside of good standing or withholding vested payments from previous issuances.
Consent to Aerial Imagery; Data Collection and Sampling. You understand that some quantification or verification activities or other data collection activities may be completed using aerial imaging and monitoring, such as satellite imagery or drone imaging, and You consent to the use of such practices on and/or over Your Land and any other land that you may control and that may not be enrolled in Indigo Carbon. You understand that to determine eligibility under Indigo Carbon, quantify and verify GHGs sequestration on Your Land, and monitor on an ongoing basis such sequestration amounts that limited invasive sampling of Your Land’s soils may be needed, and You consent to the use of such practices on and/or in Your Land.
Methodology. Indigo will use a methodology of its choosing to determine the amount of GHGs sequestered or avoided on Your Land. A Methodology may include, without limitation, eligibility requirements, specific agronomic practices required to be applied or implemented, information, documentation and recordkeeping requirements, and applicable formulas and methodologies to calculate and quantify the amount of GHGs sequestered, or avoided, and the amount of Carbon Credits that may be qualified and generated. Indigo reserves the right to make any changes to the Methodology or select an alternative Methodology at any time. Details of the Methodology shall be provided to You upon request. You agree that Your participation in Indigo Carbon is subject to the Methodology.
Using the Methodology selected, Indigo will calculate the amount of GHG sequestered or avoided and the number of Carbon Credits that have been generated from Your Land (if any). To the extent any conflicts or disputes arise as to how the number of Carbon Credits is calculated under any Methodology, Indigo will have the sole discretion, acting reasonably, to resolve such conflicts, and such resolution or interpretation shall be binding, barring manifest error in calculation. Any acceptance of any Payment under Indigo Carbon will be deemed Your acceptance in full of Indigo’s calculation of Carbon Credits and Your payment under Indigo Carbon.
As of March 1, 2026, the Methodology used by the Program is the Climate Action Reserve Soil Enrichment Protocol 1.1. The Methodology used is subject to change at any time in Indigo’s discretion.

Transfer. In the event Indigo transfers its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including by sale or acquisition, this Agreement will continue to apply to Your Data until You are provided notice of Changes to its terms.
Termination; Effect of Termination. Indigo may terminate this Agreement without any liability (“Termination for Cause”) upon written notice to You: (a) for a material breach of this Agreement by You, (b) if You fail to submit any required documentation by any deadline established by Indigo or, if no specific deadline is set forth, fail to submit such documentation within a reasonable time (determined by Indigo in its discretion) after a request by Indigo, (c) if Indigo, in its discretion, finds You or Your Land to be ineligible to participate in Indigo Carbon for any reason, (d) for a force majeure event or any other event that is out of the control of Indigo that, in Indigo’s sole discretion, renders the continuation of Indigo Carbon impractical, (e) if You become insolvent, file for bankruptcy protection, or a trustee or receiver is appointed over Your property, or (f) You commit an act of bad faith. Upon a Termination for Cause, Indigo shall have no further obligations hereunder, including without limitation for any unvested payment amounts, and will be entitled to all rights and remedies available under this Agreement, or by law or equity. Indigo reserves the right to terminate the Indigo Carbon program at any time, and in the event of such termination, any unvested and/or unpaid payments under Indigo Carbon will be forfeited and terminated without any further liability of Indigo to You.
You may terminate Your participation in Indigo Carbon at any time upon written notice to Indigo; provided, that in the event of any such termination by You, any right that You may have to any unvested and/or incomplete payments outstanding as of such termination date shall be forfeited and cancelled. Notice of termination may be sent to GrowerContracts@indigoag.com. In the event of a notice of termination by You after You have submitted data and documentation as part of a Carbon Credit generation and verification process, such termination will be effective as of the completion of the then-applicable Carbon Credit generation and verification process, as indicated by Indigo, unless otherwise approved by Indigo. All Carbon Credits generated on Enrolled Land through the effective date of termination shall vest with Indigo in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and these Terms.
Notwithstanding any termination or expiration of Your Agreement or Your participation in Indigo Carbon, the following sections will survive: Data, Data Accuracy, Grower Representations, No Guarantees, Indemnification, Taxes, No Guarantees; Bioprospecting Waiver (with respect to ownership rights to the samples only); Set-off; Non-Waiver; Limitation of Liability; Termination; Effect of Termination; Miscellaneous; Class Action Waiver; Governing Law; and any other section that, by its nature, is intended to survive termination or expiration of Your participation in Indigo Carbon.
Independent Parties. You and Indigo are independent parties and nothing in the Agreement or these Terms shall make You an employee, agent or partner of Indigo.
Class Action Waiver. You agree that You may only bring claims against Indigo or any affiliated entity of Indigo in Your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action. Unless waived by Indigo, You agree that You will not seek, and You will not take any actions that would allow, either directly or indirectly, any arbitrator or judge to consolidate more than one individual or entity’s claims or to otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. You agree that any disputes under the Indigo Carbon program will be raised on an individual basis only.
Governing Law. The Agreement and all related documents and all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Tennessee, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Tennessee. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of, based upon, or relating to the Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby shall be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America or the courts of the State of Tennessee, in each case located in the City of Memphis or the County of Shelby, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding.
