TECHNOLOGY LICENSE AGREEMENT
THIS TECHNOLOGY LICENSE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), is effective as of March 22, 2019
BETWEEN:
Mr. Mohammed Zulfiqar of 35 Elmdon Rd Selly Park, Birmingham B29 7LF, United Kingdom (the “Licensor”)
- AND -
Sensortecnics IP, Inc. a Nevada Corporation of 50W Liberty St, Suite 880, Reno, NV 89501 (wholly-owned subsidiary of Sensortecnics, Inc.)
(the “Licensee”)
- AND -
Datatecnics Corporation, Ltd. of 36 Calthorpe Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham, B15 1TS United Kingdom (the “Developer”)
BACKGROUND:
WHEREAS, the Licensor wishes to assign to the Licensee, a certain partially developed set of technologies, in need of further development work, Cybersoft - File Tracker, further disclosed and set forth in Exhibit A hereto (the “Technology” or “Cybersoft - File Tracker” or “File Tracker”) and the Licensee desires to use the Technology License in accordance with the terms and conditions stated below.
WHEREAS, Cybersoft - File Tracker is a file tracking software enabling the send, track, recall or destruct files when emailed to third party. Data file abuse is major problem when the owner sends valuable documents to the recipient in confidence. The recipient then forwards those files to other parties without permission. File Tracker will stop this as it triggers an alert if the file is forwarded to non-authorized third party, the owner can then decide to recall or destruct that file. This is major achievement in the data breach and security market.
WHEREAS, the Licensor and the Developer, including through their respective affiliates and principals, have utilized the Internet Of Things (IOT) and pioneered smart sensor technologies, whose core competency is innovative design and technological, robust solutions for complex scientific and industrial problems, including as applied to File Tracker.

WHEREAS, the Licensor and the Developer, including through their respective affiliates and principals, have already developed a number of ground-breaking products focused on key issues affecting the energy, water, environment and infrastructure sectors, solving problems previously considered insurmountable, which has enabled them to win several prestigious awards as well as considerable interest from major corporations.
WHEREAS, the Licensor and the Developer, including through their respective affiliates and principals, will remain independent with a laser-focus on realizing its vision of delivering smart, cost-effective solutions for its partners, including the Licensee.
WHEREAS, a part of the Technology, employs the use of the Licensor’s lead product, Datatecnics Corporation, Ltd., CIPPS® (Critical Infrastructure Pipeline Protection System), previously assigned to the Developer, which is currently undergoing further product development from a technology status to product in partnership with United Utilities, UK’s leading water services company, Radius Pipes, a leading pipeline manufacture and CPI (Centre for Process Innovation) a government funded R&D facility with almost 1000 scientists and experts in OPE (Organic Printed Electronics), all of which and all of whom will be available with regard to the development of the Technology, including the Licensor, as this License contemplates the engagement of the services of the Developer, Datatecnics Corporation, Ltd., for the further development of the Technology, including with the use of CIPPS® and of CIPS™, in connection with the Technology.
WHEREAS, the Developer, Datatecnics Corporation Ltd., in partnership with its customer, United Utilities is further developing and implementing CIPPS®, as a finished product, i.e. smart micro sensors embedded within the pipeline walls, replacing its infrastructure of existing pipes in the United Kingdom, using CIPPS® smart pipes. This project is supported with partial funding from Innovate UK, a UK government body which supports disruptive innovation. The production collaboration partners are, Datatecnics Corporation ltd (the lead), Radius Systems (partner) and CPI (Centre for Process Innovation) based in Teesside UK (the contractor).
WHEREAS, Datatecnics was the first company to file for patents for “intelligent” pipes through the use of printed electronics with nano/micro sensors embedded within pipeline walls for monitoring pipeline integrity. Product CIPPS® technology. CIPPS® technology facilitates the transformation of dumb, inert plastic or metal surfaces into completely intelligent autonomous self-thinking systems, susceptible to monitoring. A self-managing predictive asset management system, CIPPS® designed to predict failure-point in advance to maintain operational resiliency.

| 2. | United Utilities are the UK’s largest water company, they are our first major customer and support partner. We have already completed extensive live field tests with them last year. |
|
|
|
| 3. | Radius Pipes are a leading global pipe manufacturer, they are one of our project collaboration partners, we will give them the finished CIPPS sensors, they will then embed them within the pipes to make the finished product. |
|
|
|
| 4. | CPI is a UK Government funded R&D facility that specializes in PE (Printed Electronics), this is where we do our R&D and product development. CPI has dedicated a portion of its facility for the Developer’s endeavors. |
