  • The Investment will not be repayable to Quinsam in the event that Quinsam receives a minimum aggregate amount of $250,000 in royalty payments ("Minimum Royalty") within three years of execution of the definitive agreement ("Minimum Royalty Deadline").
  • If the Minimum Royalty is not paid to Quinsam by the Minimum Royalty Deadline, then on the next business day following Minimum Royalty Deadline, the Investment may be converted into shares of Jenex in compliance with TSXV policies and Quinsam's right to the Royalty may thereafter be reduced (the final terms of which will be negotiated by the parties and set out in the definitive agreement).
  • Jenex's thermal therapy technology to be used in the development of the CBD/THC Thermal Device(s) and the CBD/THC Thermal Device(s) will be 100% owned by Jenex.
