Newton, MA 0249 USA

 

6th June 2014

 

Dear John,

 

Mears Technologies Inc. (“Mears”) Exclusive License
and Collaboration Agreement

 

In March 2010 Mears and K2 Energy Limited
(“K2”) entered into an Exclusive License and Collaboration Agreement whereby Mears granted K2 a license for the exclusive
worldwide rights to the Mears Silicon Technology (“MSTTM”) for all solar energy applications.

 

Between April 2010 and January 2013 K2
Energy contributed approximately US$2.7 million to the R&D activities of Mears in relation to this technology. The aim of
the research was to develop more efficient silicon based cells utilising MSTTM. A new design was developed and fabricated
during the year to seek to overcome recombination issues encountered in the earlier version. Whilst recombination issues of electrons
remain, elipsometry measurements. indicate a significant increase in optical absorption using the MSTTM film. Additional
metrology work is required to validate this finding. As described in the Information Memorandum and Prospectus of January 2013,
it was determined that the research phase at Mears had concluded. Thus the next phase for this technology commenced with approaches
being made to major international solar groups to collaborate in its future development and commercialisation.

 

'The above mentioned agreement determined
that the commercialisation and development program would be agreed and the parties would co-operate in the future. To this end
K2 wishes to further advance discussions with major solar groups and prior to committing further expenditure to this cause, requests
your confirmation that K2's obligations pursuant to the research phase described in the March 2010 agreement have been satisfied
as follows:

 

		1.	That the parties acknowledge that K2 has met all funding
obligations of the agreement under Clause 3.2 “Responsibility of Licensee”;

 

		2.	That K2 has no future research funding obligations under
the agreement;

 

		3.	That K2 will pursue at its cost, a collaboration with
a major international solar group;

 

		4.	That Mears has met its entire obligation under the agreement;

 

		5.	That all terms and conditions, excluding the funding
requirements in Section 3.2, of the original Exclusive License and Collaboration Agreement, dated 3/3/2010, stay in effect (licensing,
sub-licensing, license fees, patents, etc);

		6.	That new budgets
                                         and work programs must negotiated and mutually agreed in case the parties seek joint
                                         collaboration in future MSTTM Solar commercialization and development work;

 

		7.	In the event that
                                         K2 as licensee has been unable to secure annual sales of in excess of $1 million per
                                         year of the licensed MSTTM Solar products and/or services by the end of calendar
                                         year 2020, then Mears will be able to non-exclusively market these products on K2's behalf
                                         and pay to K2 50% of all net revenue generated.

 

		8.	The above is to be agreed by both parties by execution
below.

 

	Yours faithfully,

hereof or waiver hereunder to any party hereto that did not consent in writing to such amendment, termination or waiver. Any amendment,
termination or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 6.6 shall be binding on all parties hereto, even if they do not
