1. Contribution
of License.


 


(a) Effective
as of 12:01 a.m. on the date hereof, (the “Effective Time”), CQENS hereby grants an exclusive, royalty free
license to LEAP, its successors and assigns forever, to make, use, offer to sell, and sell and for any other business purpose
in the Asia Pacific Countries products and services disclosed, claimed or comprising any of the Contributed Assets, including
any future developed IP Assets which shall become a part of this Agreement and shall be deemed to be included in the Contributed
Assets for all purposes hereunder (the “License”). CQENS acknowledges and agrees that any of its IP Assets
(including any IP Assets developed by its Affiliates) that are developed at any time after the date of this Agreement shall be
subject to this Agreement, and that LEAP shall have the sole and exclusive right to use such IP Assets (including any future IP
Assets) for any business purpose in the Asia Pacific Countries. In no event shall CQENS attempt to circumvent or adversely affect
the rights of LEAP to be the sole and exclusive beneficiary of any rights relating to the use of the IP Assets in the Asia Pacific
Countries. For the avoidance of doubt, this exclusive license does not cover the use of the IP Assets anywhere outside of the
Asia Pacific Countries, including (without limitation) the United States of America.


 


(b) As
between CQENS and LEAP, LEAP is granted the sole right to sue and collect damages and/or profits for both past and present infringements
of and any breach of Contract or other Claims (as applicable) relating to the Contributed Assets in the Asia Pacific Countries.
If LEAP becomes aware of potential infringement of any of the Contributed Assets, LEAP shall provide CQENS with written notice
of any such infringement within 90 days of learning of such infringement, and similarly, if CQENS becomes aware of any infringement
of any IP Asset, CQENS must provide written notice to LEAP of such potential infringement within 90 days of learning of such infringement
(both notices referred to as the “Infringement Notice”). If LEAP elects by written notice to CQENS to not enforce
LEAP’s rights within 60 days of the Infringement Notice to CQENS, then CQENS shall have the sole right to sue and collect
all damages for the infringement.


 


(c) In
the event litigation is instituted against a third party for infringement of the Contributed Assets under this Agreement in the
Asia Pacific Countries, the party instituting the lawsuit shall bear the cost of the litigation and shall control the litigation
proceedings. The party who did not institute the lawsuit will cooperate with the party who did institute the lawsuit at the expense
of the party who instituted the lawsuit. The party who did not institute the lawsuit can be represented by counsel of its choice
at its own expense.


 


(d) LEAP
may grant sublicenses under this Agreement on terms acceptable to LEAP in its sole discretion, subject to the Sublicensee being
bound by this Agreement.

2.
Termination. This Agreement shall terminate if, and only if, the Contributed Assets are repurchased by CQENS pursuant to
and in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, LEAP shall thereafter immediately
cease all further manufacture, sale, or use of the Contributed Assets, and all rights granted to LEAP or its Sublicensees
under this Agreement shall forthwith terminate and immediately revert to CQENS.


 


3. Ownership
Interest in LEAP. In consideration for the Contribution, LEAP hereby issues to CQENS, as of the Effective Time, the CQENS

(ii) The
execution delivery and performance of this Agreement by CQENS and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have
been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of CQENS.


 


(iii) CQENS

by LEAP, this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of CQENS, enforceable against CQENS in accordance with its
terms, subject to applicable laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors.


 


(b) No

in the past. Each employee and consultant has assigned to CQENS all intellectual ‎property rights he or she owns that are
related to the business of CQENS as now conducted and as ‎presently proposed to be conducted, and all intellectual property
rights that he, she or it solely or ‎jointly conceived, reduced to practice, developed or made during the period of his, her

‎facilities or information of CQENS, or (iii) resulted from the performance of services for CQENS.


 


(e) Litigation.

of CEQNS that would reasonably be expected to have, ‎either individually or in the aggregate, an adverse effect on the IP
Assets. Neither CQENS nor, to its knowledge, any employee is a party or is named as subject to the provisions of ‎any order,
writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or ‎instrumentality (in the case of Key Employees,
such as would affect the Company). There is no Proceeding by CQENS pending, or which it intends to initiate. The foregoing includes,
‎without limitation, Proceeding pending or threatened in writing (or, to the knowledge of CQENS, any ‎basis therefore)
involving the prior employment of any of its employees, their services ‎provided in connection with the business of CQENS,
any information or techniques allegedly ‎proprietary to any of their former employers or their obligations under any agreements
with prior ‎employers. There are no Judgments outstanding against CQENS or any of the IP Assets.‎
