               right, title, or interest in or to the Jojoba                           
               plantation on which the said technology will be                         
               developed and its sole asset is and shall be the                        
               technology for which the * * * royalty shall be paid.                   
          Section B, paragraph 5 of the license agreement granted U.S. Agri            
          the exclusive license for a period of 40 years.                              
               According to the terms of the license agreement, Utah I                 
          granted U.S. Agri the exclusive right to utilize the technology              
          developed for Utah I for 40 years in return for payments from                
          U.S. Agri of royalties of "eighty-five percent (85%) of all                  
          products produced on the Plantation and intended to be sold or

          joint venture between Licensor * * * [Utah I] and Licensee * * *             
          [U.S. Agri]."
