Can an artist offer exclusive license for a period of time to retain copyright or have to provide handover of copyright of products?

Yes, if you don't sell the copyright it is not a buyout - it is licensing.

Licensing doesn't always have to be a percentage of sales, you can let a company use your work exclusively in a certain product category for a certain period of time for a flat fee.

Most of the time these fees are negotiated between you and the buyer.
