          iv. SOYL acknowledges that the sources of technologies represented by
          UTEK are 3rd party research institutions for which UTEK does not
          control whether the technology will be shown to other parties by the
          licensor.

          v. At SOYL's request, UTK will prepare, and compile additional
          information regarding the technology acquisition opportunities for
          SOYL.

          technology for subsequent sale to and acquisition by SOYL.

          vii. On a case-by-case basis, at SOYL's request and UTK's sole

                    UTK will seek to acquire the license to the technology
                    through one of its subsidiaries. UTEK will then negotiate
                    with SOYL to acquire this subsidiary in a stock for stock
                    exchange under an "Agreement and Plan of Acquisition." The
                    consideration to be paid by SOYL to UTK will be based upon a

subsidiaries. UTK will then seek to provide a term sheet to SOYL outlining the
consideration to be paid by SOYL for the acquisition of this technology. UTK
shall transfer this subsidiary to SOYL in a stock for stock exchange under an

subsidiary as determined by UTK and agreed to by both parties.
