2. Section 8(l) is hereby amended and restated as follows:
“(1) Distribution of Royalty Rights. Immediately prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall assign to US Bank, or another Person, as Trustee, for the benefit of Purchaser’s shareholders of record on April 15, 2004, the right to receive all royalties payable to Purchaser pursuant to those certain Sale and Licensing Agreements between Purchaser and Agway, Inc., each dated March 31, 2003, relating to Purchaser’s FreshSeal and Optigen technology (“Agway Agreements”), the rights under which have been sold by Agway to BASF and Alltech, respectively, and that certain Purchase, Sale and License Agreement between Purchaser and Ryer Enterprises, LLC, dated May 1, 2003, as amended, relating to Purchaser’s MIM technology (“Ryer Agreement”). The Trustee will be instructed to distribute royalties received, if any, quarterly. The Agway Agreements and Ryer Agreement are collectively referred to as the Sale and Licensing Agreements. Purchaser will also assign to US Bank or another Person, as Trustee, for the benefit of Purchaser’s shareholders of record as of April 15, 2004, all proceeds received from Ryer or its Successor in prepayment of the Ryer Note, less fees and expenses related to

In the event Purchaser incurs costs or expenses in connection with obligations under the Sale and Licensing Agreements, Purchaser shall be entitled to reimbursement from the trust for such costs and expenses to the extent of any undistributed royalties received by the Trustee, provided such rights shall be subordinate to any rights of the Trustee for payment of its fees and expenses. In the event pursuant to the Sale and Licensing Agreement, Purchaser recovers the exclusive or nonexclusive right to exploit such technologies, Purchaser may do so for Purchaser’s own account and with no obligation to pay royalties to the Trustee.”
