Item 8.01 Other Events.
On March 23, 2010 Campbell Soup Company exercised their option to extend the collaborative research period under our Collaborative Research and License Agreement dated March 28, 2001, as amended, for an additional year (through March 28, 2011). During the extension period, we will continue to work with Campbell on the discovery and commercialization of new ingredients for use in wet soups and savory beverages and Campbell will continue to provide incremental research funding. Following this first option exercise, Campbell now retains two annual options of one year each that could further extend the collaborative period for up to two additional years. The other material terms of the agreement remain unchanged.
