2.
Provision of the Consulting Services
 
2.1
The effective date of this Agreement and the commencement of the performance of the Consulting Services by the Consultant to the Company shall be the Closing Date as defined in the Assignment Agreement and shall be subject to the completion of the Closing pursuant to the Assignment Agreement (the “Effective Date”).
 
2.2 
The Consultant shall be available at the locations and at such times as coordinated by the Company and the Consultant at their mutual convenience and the Consultant will devote on average forty (40) hours per month to the provision of the Consulting Services, provided that over a six (6) month period, the Consultant shall devote not less than a total of two hundred and forty (240) hours thereto. The Consultant and the Company may adjust the foregoing hourly allocation every six (6) months by written mutual agreement. Without derogating from the foregoing, it is agreed that the Company and the Consultant shall be entitled to expand the scope of the Consulting Services by written mutual agreement without requiring Yissum’s written consent thereto, and in the event of any agreed change to the scope of the Consulting Services, the Company shall notify Yissum in writing of such change as soon as practicable thereafter. All Consulting Services will be performed personally by the Consultant.
 
 
1
 
 
2.3 
The Consulting Services shall be carried out in a diligent, timely, responsible, competent, and professional manner consistent with prevailing standards for the performance of the same or similar services, in accordance with the instructions of the Company as may be provided from time to time and all applicable laws, regulations, rules, guidelines and ethical conduct.
 
2.4 
The Consultant hereby undertakes that the Consultant shall not, knowingly, use, during the performance of the Consulting Services, any confidential or proprietary information of any third party whatsoever, including, any confidential or proprietary information of Yissum and HUJ (including the Yissum Confidential Information, but, excluding the Technology (as such terms are defined in the Assignment Agreement) and other information, materials and documentation disclosed to the Company that are considered as part of the Company Confidential Information (as defined in Section 8 of the Assignment Agreement) following the Closing).
 
2.5 
The Consultant represents and warrants that that Consultant’s performance of this Agreement and the Consulting Services does not conflict with or result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any contract, agreement or understanding, to which the Consultant is a party or by which the Consultant is bound.
 
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement and without derogating from any undertakings or obligations of the Consultant hereunder, neither Yissum nor the Consultant makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the value or quality of the Consulting Services or as to any results of the Consulting Services, including, without limitation, that the Consultant will be successful in assisting the Company to reach any of the goals set by the Company or in providing any input that the Company may request, or that the results of Consulting Services will be non-infringing, merchantable or fit for a particular purpose, and neither Yissum nor the Consultant shall have any liability related to any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, for (a) any exploitation of the Consulting Services by the Company or by any of its Affiliates; or (b) any presentations, representations, proposals or contracts made by or entered into by the Company vis-à-vis, or with, any third party, unless resulting from Yissum’s and/or the Consultant’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or the Consultant's breach of this Agreement. The Company’s sole remedy in the event that it is dissatisfied with any of the Consulting Services will be the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.
 
2.6 
The Company shall not be entitled to require the Consultant to provide and the Consultant shall not render and/or perform any advisory, consulting or other services or activities of whatsoever nature other than the Consulting Services that the Consultant is required to perform, as specified in this Agreement. In addition, the Consultant will not use any of the resources, personnel or facilities of HUJ in her provision of the Consulting Services, it being agreed, however, that limited general office supplies, a HUJ phone(s) and/or laptop shall not be considered as HUJ resources for the purpose of this provision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Consultant may use her laboratory at HUJ subject to the terms and conditions of a separate agreement to be entered into with Yissum and/or the University.
 
2.7 
During the Term as defined in Section 3.1 below and continuing for twelve (12) months after the termination or expiration of such engagement:
 
(a)
the Consultant shall not, directly or indirectly:

2
 
 
(ii)
own an interest in, manage, operate, join, control, or participate in or be connected with, as an officer, employee, partner, shareholder, agent, consultant, researcher, employee or otherwise (including by way of providing consulting, advisory, and/or other services, either alone or jointly with others), any person, company or other entity, that, at such time, directly competes with the Company or its Affiliates in the field of Cannabinoids and hemp (including high dosage THC, THC or Cannabidiols (CBD)) or that develops systems, products and/or services which compete directly with the business of the Company or its Affiliates as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted in the field of Cannabinoids and hemp (including high dosage THC, THC or Cannabidiols (CBD)), unless agreed by the Company in advance and in writing, provided that this shall not preclude the Consultant from owning an equity interest not greater than 5% in a publicly traded company; and
 
(b)
the Consultant shall avoid any situation of an actual or potential conflict of interest with the Company and shall promptly notify the Company of any situation which constitutes an actual or potential conflict of interests with the Company or its Affiliates.
 
For the removal of doubt, nothing herein shall restrict the Consultant from performing any research activities at HUJ, subject to the confidentiality, non-use, non-compete and no-conflict obligations contained herein and in the Assignment Agreement; and subject to the Company's rights with respect to patentable inventions in the field of Cannabinoids and hemp (including high dosage THC, THC or Cannabidiols (CBD)) created or reduced to practice as a result of such research activities at HUJ, including research activities that commenced prior to the date of signature of this Agreement, which shall be governed by the terms of Section 13 of the Assignment Agreement.
 
Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company from engaging the services of and/or dealing directly or indirectly with any third parties who provide services that are similar or identical to the Consulting Services.
 
2.8 
The Consultant shall report to and receive requests from the CEO of the Company or any other person designated by the Company with respect to the performance of the Consulting Services and shall submit reports with respect to the performance of the Consulting Services as reasonably requested from the Company.

2.9 
There are no employee/employer relations between the Consultant and the Company and no additional consideration will be payable to the Consultant or Yissum in connection with the performance of the Consulting Services other than as expressly set out hereunder or as required by law.
 
The Consultant hereby denies and waives any demand, claim and/or allegation that an employment relationship of any kind has resulted from this Agreement (including Appendix A hereto). The Consultant shall indemnify the Company for any costs, expenses or liabilities incurred by or imposed on the Company in the event of any decision by a court or other competent authority that the Consultant is an employee of the Company and/or to award any employment benefits to the Consultant in connection with this Agreement and/or the Consulting Services, arising from any claim or allegation made by or on behalf of the Consultant that she is an employee of the Company and/or that she is entitled to receive any monies and/or rights as an employee of the Company.
 
The Consultant further declares that she acknowledges that the consideration agreed with the Company under this Agreement is based upon her declaration and the absence of an employment relationship.
 
 
3
 
 
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.9 above, the Consultant’s consideration for the performance of the Consulting Services shall be seventy percent (70%) of her entire remuneration hereunder (as detailed in Section 4 below) (the “Reduced Compensation”), in the event that (i) she shall claim the existence of an employer-employee relationship with the Company, and/or shall claim monies and/or rights as an employee of the Company; and (ii) the relationship between the Company and the Consultant shall be regarded or determined by any court or other competent authority as an employer-employee relationship as aforesaid as a result of any claim by the Consultant as aforesaid in subsection (i) above. In such an event, the Consultant shall return to the Company all amounts paid to her (through Yissum) exceeding the Reduced Compensation, and she shall reimburse and indemnify the Company, for any sum which shall be demanded of it in connection with such claims and/or determinations.
 
This Agreement shall not be construed to create any relationship of association, partnership or joint venture between the Company and the Consultant and/or anyone on her behalf.
