Executed on April 4, 2016 and effective as of March 28, 2016, VIASPACE Inc. (the "Registrant"), VIASPACE Green Energy, a British Virgin Islands corporation ("VGE") and Guangzhou Inter-Pacific Arts Corp., a Chinese wholly-owned foreign enterprise registered in Guangdong province ("IPA"), entered into the Global Supply, License, and Commercialization Agreement (the "New Agreement").

Prior to the New Agreement, IPA and VGE had entered into a certain Supply and Commercialization Agreement dated September 30, 2012 regarding a license and supply arrangement between IPA and VGE regarding Giant King Grass ("IPA-VGE Agreement"). In turn, VGE and the Registrant also entered into a certain Supply and Commercialization Agreement dated September 30, 2012 regarding a license and supply arrangement between VGE and the Registrant regarding Giant King Grass ("VGE-VIASPACE Agreement").

Under the New Agreement, VGE and the Registrant terminated the VGE-VIASPACE Agreement and IPA directly granted the Registrant an exclusive, perpetual license to commercialize its intellectual property rights to three (3) types of high yield, non-genetically modified grasses ("Three GK Grasses") throughout the world except Cambodia, People’s Republic of China, Taiwan, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Laos, Vietnam and Singapore ("VIASPACE Territory"). It and VGE agreed to subordinate the terms of the IPA-VGE Agreement to the terms of the New Agreement. IPA also granted the right to use and market the name "Giant King Grass" and other related names.

The Registrant would owe royalty payments on the Net Sales of the Three GK Grasses. This license would be sublicenseable in the VIASPACE Territory. IPA held all rights of ownership to the Three GK Grasses. The Registrant would own any grasses resulting from any modifications or improvements to the Three GK Grasses. IPA would use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain its intellectual property rights. The Registrant would use commercially reasonable efforts to commercialize the Three GK Grasses throughout the VIASPACE Territory.
