The license granted under the License Agreement is limited to quantum antenna systems integrated into or designed for unmanned aerial vehicles and drone platforms used in defense and national security applications (the “Licensed Field of Use”).
As consideration for the license and rights granted under the License Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, the Company has agreed to pay and/or grant, as applicable, to LightShift: (a) $1,000,000 in cash, payable in installments pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement and subject to certain acceleration conditions and (b) restricted ordinary shares of the Company, having an aggregate value of $5,000,000 (the “Consideration Shares”) to be issued on a quarterly basis over eight equal installments and subject to certain lock-up provisions, with a six-month lock-up period and a 2% weighted average daily trading volume of the Consideration Shares. Additionally, LightShift shall use commercially reasonable efforts as a company in the defense sector would use to research, develop, and commercialize national-defense related products to deliver a demonstrable prototype of the Licensed Technology (the “Prototype”) by December 31, 2026, and upon successful demonstration of the Prototype, the Company shall have an exclusive 120 day right of first negotiation to be negotiated in good faith for a joint venture, royalty arrangement, or other commercial arrangement, covering the further commercialization of the Licensed Technology within the Licensed Field of Use. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, Nadab Akhtar shall be appointed as a Special Advisor to Company on quantum technologies.

Additionally, if LightShift fails to deliver certain monthly developmental reports, or fails to deliver the Prototype by March 31, 2027, the Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate the License Agreement for material breach by LightShift. If the License Agreement is terminated, all unvested Consideration Shares shall be automatically forfeited and returned to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the License Agreement is terminated due to LightShift’s material breach pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, (i) all unvested Consideration Shares shall immediately and automatically be clawed back and returned to the Company for cancellation without any further consideration or action by either party and (ii) the Company shall have the right, exercisable in its sole discretion by written notice to LightShift within 90 days following such termination, to repurchase all vested Consideration Shares then held by LightShift at a price equal to$ 0.001 per share as liquidated damages.
