	(i)	ADM or any of its Affiliates sells the Products in a New Geographic Region;

	(ii)	such sales are bona fide arms' length sales to a Person or Persons located in that New Geographic Region for use in that New Geographic Region; and

- 13 -

(iii)

the minimum annual sales to such arms' length Person or Persons in that New Geographic Region are greater than [commercially sensitive information redacted]tonnes.

For greater certainty, the maximum aggregate reduction in the Full Commercial Production Royalty as a result of the application of this provision will be [commercially sensitive information redacted] percent ([commercially sensitive information redacted]%), or [commercially sensitive information redacted] percent ([commercially sensitive information redacted]%) if Section 4.3(c) is in effect, and in each instance the reduction will only apply in each calendar year in which annual sales of Products in and for use in the relevant New Geographic Region exceed [commercially sensitive information redacted] tonnes, as evidenced by the report provided by ADM to Burcon pursuant to Section 5.1(b) in respect of that calendar year. As ADM achieves sales of at least [commercially sensitive information redacted] tonnes to qualify for the reduced royalty in each New Geographic Region, such reduction in royalty will carry over to the succeeding year and such reduced royalty will continue to apply until such sales do not meet [commercially sensitive information redacted] tonnes; and

(f)	ADM will qualify for the maximum royalty reduction under 4.3(e), i.e. down to [commercially sensitive information redacted]% (or [commercially sensitive information redacted]% if 4.3(c) is in effect), once ADM achieves [commercially sensitive information redacted] tonnes of minimum annual sales of Products in the Territory.


4.4	ADM Royalty

In consideration of the license granted by ADM to Burcon in Section 3.6, Burcon shall, subject to Section 4.5, pay to ADM running royalties based on the Net Revenue relating to the sale by Burcon or its sublicensees of Products that use, incorporate or are derived from the ADM Improvements at a rate of [commercially sensitive information redacted]percent ([commercially sensitive information redacted]%) of Net Revenue. For the purposes of this provision the definition of "Net Revenue" in Section 1.1(s) will be deemed to be read as if all references to ADM were references to Burcon, and vice-versa.


4.5	Limit on ADM Royalty

In no calendar year while the License is in effect will the aggregate Royalties in respect of that year payable by Burcon to ADM pursuant to Section 4.4 exceed the aggregate Royalties payable by ADM to Burcon under the License in respect of the same year.


4.6	Taxes on Payments by ADM

To the extent any payments made by ADM to Burcon under this Agreement are subject to withholding tax or royalty tax under any Applicable Laws, ADM shall use reasonable efforts to provide Burcon with requested documentation, and otherwise use reasonable efforts to cooperate as requested, to reduce the withholding tax to the legal minimum.

- 14 -

Burcon shall promptly provide any form or document accurately completed and in a manner satisfactory to ADM that may be required or reasonably requested by ADM to allow ADM to make a payment pursuant to this Agreement, without any deduction or withholding, including, without limitation, an executed Form W-9 or W-8BEN (or any successor thereto).


4.7	Taxes on Payments by Burcon

To the extent any payments made by Burcon to ADM under this Agreement are subject to withholding tax or royalty tax under any Applicable Laws, Burcon shall use reasonable efforts to provide ADM with requested documentation, and otherwise use reasonable efforts to cooperate as requested, to reduce the withholding tax to the legal minimum. ADM shall promptly provide any form or document accurately completed and in a manner satisfactory to Burcon that may be required or reasonably requested by Burcon, to allow Burcon to make a payment pursuant to this Agreement, without any deduction or withholding.


4.8	Tax Refunds

Each Party will reasonably cooperate with the other Party in obtaining a refund of any withholding taxes paid with respect to any such amount payable under this Agreement where available under Applicable Laws.

ARTICLE 5
REPORTS AND AUDIT


5.1	Reports

ADM shall send to Burcon:

(a)	with each payment of Royalties pursuant to Article 4 a complete and accurate report detailing the Net Revenue and all related information in the calculation thereof for the time period in respect of which the applicable Royalties are payable; and

(b)	for each calendar year, in the report described in clause (a) for the final Quarter of that year, information with respect to the applicability of Section 4.3(e), detailing the Net Revenue and volumes in each New Geographic Area and the resulting adjustment to Royalties required under Section 4.3(e).


5.2	Records and Access

ADM shall keep complete and accurate books and records with respect to the sale of Products and Burcon shall have the right, during business hours and upon reasonable notice, up to two (2) times per calendar year, to have a mutually agreeable independent auditor audit and inspect such portions of such books and records as relate to the commercial exploitation of Products, including any information necessary to determine the

- 15 -

appropriate Royalty payable pursuant to Section 4.1. All expenses relating to or arising out of such audits and inspections shall be borne by Burcon, unless such audit uncovers a discrepancy between amounts paid to Burcon and amounts that should have been paid greater than three percent (3%) in respect of the time period audited in Burcon’s favour. ADM shall keep and preserve each account and record referred to in this Section for a period of five (5) years from the date of each such account and record. In the event ADM has underpaid Royalties, ADM shall remit to Burcon any such amounts due on or before thirty (30) days from the date of the final audit report. In the event ADM has overpaid Royalties, Burcon shall remit to ADM any amounts due on or before thirty (30) days from the date of the final audit report.


5.3	Burcon Annual Audit

ADM acknowledges that in order for Burcon to comply with its obligations with respect to the audit of Burcon's financial statements for its March 31 year end, Burcon may, on an annual basis, through its external auditors, perform an audit of ADM's books and records as they relate to the Net Revenue and associated Royalties for that fiscal year. The terms of Section 5.2 will apply fully in respect of any such audit.


5.4	Process Audit

Subject to Article 8, upon written notice by Burcon to ADM, Burcon shall have the right, during business hours, to audit and inspect ADM’s Product commercialization and production process. Such process inspection and audit shall be for Burcon’s internal purposes and may include, without limitation, the following activities:

(a)	a review of the plans, designs, methodology, approaches and processes used in respect of the design, development and manufacture of the Product in the Semi- works Production Facility or any Full-commercial Production facility; and

(b)	a review of knowledge transfer techniques used in respect of the design, development and manufacture of the Product used in the Semi-works Production Facility or any Full-commercial Production facility.

	However, nothing in Section will allow Burcon to audit or inspect any of ADM’s facilities that do not use the Burcon Technology.


5.5	Equivalent ADM Rights

While the license granted by ADM to Burcon under Section 3.6 is in effect, Burcon will have the same obligations to provide reports as described in respect of ADM in Section 5.1(a) and the same obligations described in respect of ADM in Sections 5.2 and 5.4, and for such purposes such provisions will be deemed to be read as if all references to ADM were references to Burcon, and vice-versa.

ARTICLE 6
INFRINGEMENT, DEFENCE AND PATENT PROSECUTION


6.1	Infringement

Each Party shall promptly notify the other in writing of any conflicting use or apparent act of infringement or appropriation of any Burcon Technology or Burcon Patent Rights by any Person which comes to its attention.

(a)	As long as the Exclusive License of Section 3.4 is in effect, ADM shall have the right, at its expense, to bring suit in its own name, or if required by law, jointly with Burcon, at ADM’s expense and on its own behalf, for infringement of Burcon’s Patent Rights of mis-appropriation of Burcon Technology, provided that Burcon shall have the right to participate in and control any aspect of any such suit which relates to the validity of any patent included in Burcon’s Patent Rights or Burcon Improvements. In any such suit brought by ADM to collect damages, profits and awards of whatever nature for such infringement, ADM shall be entitled to any damages collected under such suit, provided that Burcon shall be entitled to Royalties from ADM at the relevant rate pursuant to Section 4.3, on any such damages in excess of reasonable attorney fees and legal costs incurred by ADM in bringing such suit. In connection with such suit, ADM also has the right to settle any claim or suit for infringement with the prior consent of Burcon, which consent will not be reasonably withheld, provided that any settlement or sublicense granted to an accused infringer is subject to Royalties from ADM at the relevant rate pursuant to Section 4.3 and provided that, in the reasonable opinion of Burcon's counsel, such action shall not jeopardize any Burcon Technology or Burcon Improvements.

(b)	In the event that ADM does not elect to pursue a suit for infringement under Section 6.1(a), Burcon shall have the right, at its expense, to take such steps as it may consider necessary to terminate any infringement or appropriation. If Burcon has chosen to take steps to terminate the infringement or appropriation, ADM shall take such steps as may be reasonably requested by Burcon to assist Burcon in terminating such infringement or appropriation and shall take any action or proceeding reasonably requested by Burcon, at the expense of Burcon. If ADM elects not to pursue such suit for any infringement under Section 6.1(a) and Burcon elects to take steps to terminate any infringement or appropriation, Burcon shall be entitled to any damages collected under such suit.

(c)	Subject to the foregoing, each Party shall cooperate and assist, and cause its employees and representatives to assist, the other Party to the fullest extent possible, at the expense of the Party bringing the suit, regarding such action or proceeding.

6.2	Patent Prosecution

As long as the Exclusive License is in effect, Burcon shall be responsible for the drafting, filing, prosecution and maintenance of all Burcon Patent Rights in the following countries: [commercially sensitive information redacted], provided that Burcon shall not be

- 17 -

responsible to draft, file or prosecute any of the Burcon Patent Rights listed in Schedule A as of the Effective Date in any of the above countries to the extent that it is not eligible, by virtue of the passage of time, to file a patent in any such country. Burcon covenants and agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to diligently continue the prosecution of such patent rights with all practicable expedience as long as the Exclusive License is in effect. Burcon agrees, while the Exclusive License is in effect, to provide ADM with copies of all documents to be filed in connection with the prosecution of any patent application to provide ADM with a reasonable opportunity to comment. Burcon shall consult with ADM with regard to every material decision required to be made during the drafting, filing, prosecution and maintenance of such patent rights, while the Exclusive License is in effect. Burcon shall consider ADM’s comments and recommendations during the prosecution and maintenance of the Burcon Patent Rights, while the Exclusive License is in effect, provided that all decisions in respect of the drafting, filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Burcon Patent Rights shall be in Burcon’s sole discretion. Burcon shall bear all fees and expenses associated with the drafting, filing, prosecution and maintenance of all patent rights specified in Schedule A. In the event Burcon fails, while the Exclusive License is in effect, to maintain any Burcon Patent Rights, Burcon shall notify ADM within thirty (30) days of making such decision and ADM shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume such maintenance and to set-off against Royalties otherwise payable by it to Burcon, while the Exclusive License is in effect, the direct filing fees and expenses incurred by it as a result of assuming such maintenance.

In the event that Burcon fails to maintain Burcon Patent Rights in a jurisdiction under this Section and no patents covering the Products have issued in such jurisdiction, then the Semi-works Production Royalty rate described in Section 4.3(a) and the Full Commercial Production Royalty rate described in Section 4.3(b) will be reduced by [commercially sensitive information redacted]% for the sale of any Products into such jurisdiction provided that the Semi-works Production Royalty and the Full Commercial Production Royalty will revert to their original levels if a patent covering the Products is ever issued in such jurisdiction during the term of the License.

In the event ADM desires, while the Exclusive License is in effect, to expand the scope of patenting of any of the applications in the Burcon Patent Rights to include additional patents covering the Burcon Technology and/or Burcon Improvements or pursue patents in additional countries beyond those set forth above, Burcon shall cooperate with such requests; provided that ADM agrees to pay all costs associated with the prosecution and maintenance of such filings without deduction or offset to Royalties or other fees otherwise due hereunder, and further provided that all such filings shall be in the name of Burcon and shall be deemed to be included within the Burcon Patent Rights. If ADM elects to expand the scope of patenting, ADM shall select the legal counsel of its choice that is acceptable, acting reasonably, to Burcon, and ADM will provide Burcon with copies of all documents to be filed in the prosecution of any patent application to provide Burcon with a reasonable opportunity to comment, and ADM will consult with Burcon with regard to every material decision required to be made during the drafting, filing, prosecution and maintenance of any such application.

- 18 -


6.3	Defence of Actions

As long as the Exclusive License is in effect, Burcon:

(a)	shall be responsible for the defence of any action in which the validity of any patent in the Burcon Patent Rights is raised in any jurisdiction; and

(b)	shall inform ADM in writing forthwith of any such action;

and ADM agrees to cooperate and to cause its employees and representatives to cooperate in the defence of any such action, which shall be at Burcon’s sole expense.

If Burcon elects not to defend such action, Burcon shall notify ADM within thirty (30) days of making such decision and ADM shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume such defence, in which case ADM shall be solely responsible for its costs thereof, and shall be wholly liable for any monetary award made as a result of such defence.

Burcon may, in its sole discretion and at its sole cost and expense, settle any action or abandon or withdraw any Burcon Technology application or registration, unless ADM has elected to assume such action after notice from Burcon to ADM that Burcon has elected not to defend the action.

In the event that ADM assumes defence of any action under this Section 6.3, ADM shall become the owner of such patent and Burcon agrees to execute any documents to transfer ownership to ADM. Upon the transfer of ownership of such patent to ADM, ADM will grant to Burcon a royalty-free non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual license (with the right to sublicense) to use and exploit such patent without limitation, subject only to the Exclusive License.

In the event that Burcon fails to defend the validity of any patent of Burcon Patent Rights in a jurisdiction or a patent of Burcon Patent Rights in the jurisdiction have been invalidated, and no patents covering the Products remain in force in such jurisdiction, then the Semi-works Production Royalty rate described in Section 4.3(a) and the Full Commercial Production Royalty rate described in Section 4.3(b) will be reduced by [commercially sensitive information redacted] % for the sale of any Products into such jurisdiction provided that the Semi-works Production Royalty and the Full Commercial Production Royalty will revert to their original levels if a patent covering the Products is ever issued in such jurisdiction during the term of the License.


6.4	Exclusions to Defence Obligation

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Burcon shall have no obligation to defend any action as set forth in Section 6.3 above to the extent that


(a)	the License has been converted to a Non-Exclusive License;

- 19 -

(b)

ADM is in breach of this Agreement at any time during any stage of the action and fails to cure such breach pursuant to Section 8.3(c)(i). Burcon may, at its own expense, instead of defending such action, procure for ADM the right to continue the use of Burcon Technology as permitted herein or replace or modify the Burcon Technology so that it becomes non-infringing and provided that any such replacement or modification is substantially similar to the original Burcon Technology in respect of its quality and functionality, and further provided that the manufacturing costs and capital costs relating to the manufacture of such replacement or modification are substantially similar to those associated with the original Burcon Technology.


6.5	Exclusive Remedies

Except as otherwise set forth herein, the remedies set forth in this Article 6 shall be the exclusive remedies available to ADM with respect to any claim attacking the validity of the Burcon Patent Rights in any jurisdiction or alleging infringement of any other Person's intellectual property rights by Burcon Technology in any jurisdiction, provided that nothing herein shall limit in any way either Party's remedies in respect of fraud or wilful misconduct by the other Party in connection herewith.

ARTICLE 11
GENERAL


11.1	Dispute Resolution

In the event of a dispute between the Parties in respect of any matter falling within the parameters of this Agreement, whether arising during, or at any time after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Parties agree to use all reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute promptly and in an amicable manner by negotiation in accordance with this Section 11.1. Either Party may refer the dispute to the corporate officer of ADM responsible for commercialization of the Products and the Chief Operating Officer of Burcon, and such officers shall use reasonable efforts to attempt to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days of the referral of the dispute to each of them. If the dispute cannot be resolved within the time period specified above, or such longer time period as the Parties may agree, either Party may submit the dispute for arbitration in accordance with Section 11.2.


11.2	Arbitration

If the Parties do not reach a solution pursuant to Section 11.1 within the time periods specified therein, then upon written notice by either Party to the other, the dispute shall be finally settled by arbitration based upon the following:

(a)	The arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three arbitrators, one arbitrator appointed by Burcon, one arbitrator appointed by ADM and a third arbitrator appointed by mutual agreement of the Parties, or in the event of failure to agree within thirty (30) Business Days following delivery of the written notice by the Party initiating the arbitration to the other Party, either Party may apply to a court having jurisdiction to have the third arbitrator appointed. The third arbitrator shall be qualified by education and training in respect of matters relating to patent licensing and biotechnology;

(b)	The panel of arbitrators shall be instructed that time is of the essence in the arbitration proceeding and, in any event, the arbitration award must be made within ninety (90) days of the submission of the dispute to arbitration;

(c)	After written notice is given to refer any dispute to arbitration, the Parties will meet within fifteen (15) Business Days of delivery of the notice and will negotiate any changes in these arbitration provisions or the rules of arbitration which are herein adopted, in an effort to expedite the process and otherwise ensure that the process is appropriate given the nature of the dispute and the values at risk;

(d)	The arbitration shall take place in Denver, Colorado;

(e)	The arbitration award shall be given in writing and shall be final and binding on the Parties, not subject to any appeal, and shall deal with the question of costs of arbitration and all related matters;

- 29 -

(f)	Judgment upon any award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction or application may be made to the court for a judicial recognition of the award or an order of enforcement, as the case may be;

(g)	All disputes referred to arbitration (including the scope of the agreement to arbitrate, any statute of limitations, set-off claims, conflict of laws rules, tort claims and interest claims) shall be governed by the substantive law of the State of New York;

(h)	The Parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of its (including any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions and any awards) shall not be disclosed beyond the arbitrator, the Parties, their counsel and any person necessary to the conduct of the proceeding, except as may lawfully be required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration or otherwise.

(i)	However, the panel of arbitrators shall not decide and this Section 11.2 shall not apply to any dispute regarding the validity of or infringement of any of Burcon’s Patent Rights, each of which shall be decided by a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction.


11.3	Time; Force Majeure

Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement and such of its terms, provided that no Party shall be liable to any other, or be in default under the terms of this Agreement, for its failure to fulfill its obligations hereunder to the extent such failure arises for any reason beyond its control including, without limitation, strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, acts of God, acts of nature, acts of governments or their agencies, fire, flood, storm, power shortages or power failure, war, sabotage, inability to obtain sufficient labour, raw materials, fuel or utilities, or inability to obtain transportation (each, an "Event of Force Majeure"); provided that the Party relying on the provisions of this Section shall forthwith give to the other Party notice of its inability to observe or perform the provisions of this Agreement and the reasons for such inability to observe or perform; and provided further that the suspension of the obligations of the Party so affected will continue only for so long as such Event of Force Majeure continues.


11.4	Elimination of Force Majeure Event

A Party relying on the provisions of Section 11.3 will take all commercially reasonable steps to eliminate any Force Majeure Event and, if possible, will perform its obligations under this Agreement as far as practical, but nothing herein will require the Party to question or test the validity of any Applicable Law or order of any government or governmental authority or to complete its obligations if an Event of Force Majeure renders completion impossible.


11.5	Severability

Except as to matters which are fundamental to this Agreement, every part of this Agreement is severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any part of this Agreement with

- 30 -

respect to any Party or circumstance shall not affect the validity or enforceability of that part with respect to any other Party or circumstance, or of any other part of this Agreement.


11.6	Law

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws. The Parties hereby irrevocably submit and attorn to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York with respect to all matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement. The Parties waive any objections they may have to venue being in such courts, including any claim that such venue is an inconvenient forum.


11.7	Entire Agreement

This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the Parties pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, whether oral or written, between the Parties pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement. For greater certainty, the Letter of Intent entered into by the Parties dated as of November 9, 2010 is hereby superceded, terminated and of no force and effect, and shall not be used to interpret this Agreement whatsoever. Except as set forth in this Agreement, there are no warranties, representations or other agreements, oral or written, between the Parties pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement.


11.8	Amendment and Waiver

No amendment or waiver of this Agreement shall be binding on a Party unless executed in writing by that Party. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.


11.9	Relationship of the Parties

ADM on one hand, and Burcon on the other, are independent Parties. ADM is not, and nothing in this Agreement shall constitute it as, the employer, principal or partner of, or joint venturer with, Burcon. Neither Party shall have any authority to enter into any agreement on behalf of the other Party or to bind the other Party in any other manner, and shall not act or omit to act so as to suggest that it has such authority. All personnel employed or otherwise engaged by any Party shall be the agents and employees of such Party only, and the other Parties shall incur no obligations or liabilities by reason of the conduct of such personnel.


11.10	Public Notices

Except as may be necessary to comply with the requirements of any Applicable Law, or the requirements of any stock exchange on which the shares of the Party hereto making any announcement or statement or issuing any press release may be listed, at no time shall either Party, without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be

-31 -

unreasonably withheld), make any announcement, press release or statement which relates to or refers to any of the matters related to or arising from this Agreement. The consent from one Party shall be granted to the other within 72 hours of the request being made. Where an announcement, statement or issuance of a press release is time sensitive, the Party seeking consent may request that the consent be granted by the other Party within 24 hours. In such circumstance, the request for consent must be in writing and followed up by telephone.

11.14	Anti-Corruption

Each of ADM and Burcon represents, warrants and covenants to the other Party that:

(a)	the performance of its obligations herein will not violate any law, regulation or obligation by which it is bound, and will not conflict with or violate any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound;

(b)	it will carry out its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations or orders issued by any government authority having jurisdiction over the territory in which any part of such obligations will be performed;

(c)	except to the extent previously disclosed to the other Party in writing, each of ADM and Burcon and each and every director, owner, employee or any Person acting on its behalf in connection with this Agreement are not

- 33 -

	employees of any government, government agency, public international organization and are not officials of a political party or candidates for political office;

(d)	any expenses submitted by it for reimbursement under this Agreement shall have been legally incurred in connection with its obligations under this Agreement;

(e)	in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, no services, money or other items of value, whether or not reimbursable under this Agreement, will be paid, promised, offered or authorized by it, or any Person acting on its behalf, directly or indirectly, to any Person employed by or acting on behalf of any government, government agency, political party, officials of a political party, or candidate for political office for the purpose of or having the effect of

	(i)	bribery, kickbacks or other corrupt practices,

	(ii)	influencing any act or decision of such Person or organization,

	(iii)	inducing any such Person or organization to do or omit to do any act in violation of their lawful duty, or

	(iv)	inducing any such Person to use their influence with any government, government agency, public international organization, political party, party official or candidate for political office in order to secure any improper advantage for, or to obtain or retain business on behalf of, Burcon or ADM, as the case may be.

If at any time during the term of this Agreement any of these representations and warranties ceases to be accurate, each of ADM and Burcon will promptly notify the other Party. Each of ADM and Burcon understands that these representations and warranties will be relied upon by the other Party in preparing accurate financial accounts and records, filing reports and preparing and filing tax returns, as required by law.


11.15	Termination

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated unilaterally by either of ADM or Burcon if at any time it, acting in good faith, has reason to believe:

(a)	that the other Party has used or is in the process of using any part of the compensation payable, or expenses reimbursable, under this Agreement for a bribe, kickback or other corrupt payment, or

(b)	that the representations, warranties and covenants under Section 11.14 are false or have been breached by the other Party; or

- 34 -

(c)	that this Agreement or the performance of any of its terms violates or contravenes any law, regulation, restriction or order of the United States or any government in whose territory this Agreement or any part of it is to be performed.

Termination under this provision shall be effective immediately upon ADM or Burcon giving the other Party written notice and will be deemed to have the same consequences as a termination for a breach that a Party has failed to remedy under Section 8.3(c)(i) or Section 8.3(d)(i), as applicable.


11.16	Record Keeping

Each of ADM and Burcon shall preserve all records of expenditures and charges related to its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the ordinary course of business.
