FEES AND PAYMENT. The Licensee’s Customers shall pay the license and transaction fees for the Software set forth in Exhibit
A (the "License Fees"). All fees hereunder exclude all applicable sales, use, value-added, property and other taxes,
including duties and similar mandatory payments, and Licensee will be responsible for collection of all such taxes (other than
taxes based on MyECheck's net income), and any related penalties and interest, arising from the payment of such fees, the delivery

the designated Account. Under such an arrangement, all user fees collected from Customers will be deposited by Customer directly

Account other than those allowed for in Exhibit A shall require the approval of both Parties. Periodic
statements concerning the designated Account shall be provided to both Parties as defined in Exhibit A.

on all type of interaction with the Licensee.

Disclaimer. EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, AND COVENANTS EXPRESSLY STATED in 10.1 and 10.2 HEREIN, THE
SOFTWARE, DOCUMENTATION AND MAINTENANCE, AS WELL AS ALL SERVICES, ARE PROVIDED "AS IS," AND MYECHECK AND ITS SUPPLIERS
HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY.
THE LICENSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT MYECHECK IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR AND WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR
HARDWARE, SOFTWARE OR OTHER ITEMS OR ANY SERVICES PROVIDED BY ANY PERSON OR ENTITY OTHER THAN MYECHECK OR ITS EMPLOYEES, AGENTS
OR CONTRACTORS OR FOR NETWORK FAILURE. THE LICENSEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS RELIED ON NO WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THE EXPRESS

11. CONFIDENTIALITY. In
the course of performing this Agreement, the Parties may disclose to each other Confidential Information. "Confidential Information"
shall mean any and all non-public technical and non-technical information provided by either party to the other, including but
not limited to (i) patent and patent applications; (ii) trade secrets; and (iii) proprietary information including, but not limited
to, ideas, sketches, techniques, drawings, works of authorship, models, inventions, know-how, processes, apparatuses, equipment,
algorithms, software programs, software source documents, and formulae related to the current, future and proposed products and
services of each of the parties, and including, without limitation, their respective information concerning research, experimental
work, development, design details and specifications, engineering, financial information, procurement requirements, purchasing,
manufacturing, customer lists, investors, employees, business and contractual relationships, business forecasts, sales, merchandising,
marketing plans, contact details and other information the disclosing Party provides regarding third parties. All Confidential
Information shall remain the sole property of the disclosing Party, and the receiving Party shall have no interest in or rights
with respect thereto except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Each Party agrees: (i) not to use any Confidential Information
of the other Party for any purpose except in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or as otherwise expressly
permitted hereunder; (ii) to disclose such Confidential Information only to employees (or third party subcontractors permitted
under this Agreement) who have a need to know such Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement and who are under a
duty of confidentiality no less restrictive than that set forth herein; (iii) to protect such Confidential Information from unauthorized
use, access or disclosure in the same manner that it protects its own similar Confidential Information, but in no event with less
care than a reasonably prudent business would exercise and (iv) to promptly notify the other Party of any actual or potential unauthorized
access to or use of Confidential Information. The foregoing restrictions on disclosure shall not apply with respect to any information
which: (a) was or becomes generally known or publicly available through no act or failure to act on the part of the receiving Party;
(b) is known by the receiving Party without restrictions on disclosure at the time of receiving such information as evidenced by
its records; (c) is rightfully furnished to the receiving Party without restrictions on disclosure by a third party without a breach
of such third party's obligations of confidentiality; or (d) is required by law to be disclosed by the receiving Party, provided
that the receiving Party: (x) gives the disclosing Party prompt written notice of such requirement prior to such disclosure; (y)
provides assistance in obtaining an order protecting Confidential Information from disclosure; and (z) discloses information only
to the extent required by law. The Licensee further agrees not to disclose to any third party any performance information (including,
without limitation, benchmarks) relating to the Software except as otherwise expressly contemplated herein. MyECheck further agrees
not to disclose to any third party confidential information concerning the Licensee’s Customers, and agrees not to attempt
to solicit business or market to the Licensee’s Customers outside of this Agreement. This Section 11 will survive any termination
of the Agreement for a period of three (3) years with respect to non-technical information and in perpetuity with respect to technical
information, including the Software, the Documentation and any code.
12. MYECHECK INDEMNITY.
MyECheck agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Licensee, its officers, directors, employees and agents from and against
all damages and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) finally awarded against the Licensee (or finally settled upon) and
arising from or relating to:
(i) any claim brought against
the Licensee by a third party alleging that the Software directly infringes any patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual
property right or misappropriates any trade secret (recognized as such under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act). The Parties acknowledge
and agree that MyECheck's obligations under this item (i) of this Section 12 are conditioned upon the Licensee providing MyECheck:
(a) prompt written notice of the existence of such claim, suit, action or proceeding (each a "claim"); provided that
a failure of the Licensee to promptly notify MyECheck shall not relieve MyECheck of liability hereunder except to the extent that
MyECheck 's defenses to such claim are materially impaired by such failure to promptly notify; (b) sole control over the defense
or settlement of such claim, it being agreed that MyECheck shall not enter into any settlement imposing any liability or obligation
on the Licensee without Licensee's the prior written consent; and (c) assistance at MyECheck's request and sole expense, to the
extent reasonably necessary for the defense or settlement of such claim. If any claim that MyECheck is obligated to defend has
occurred or, in MyECheck's opinion, is likely to occur, MyECheck may, at its option and expense either (1) obtain for the Licensee
the right to continue to use the applicable Software, (2) replace or modify the Software so it becomes non-infringing, without
materially adversely affecting the Software's specified functionality, or (3) if (1) or (2) are not readily available after using
reasonable commercial efforts or, if neither of the foregoing options is commercially reasonable, refund all fees paid by Customer
and terminate this Agreement; provided that termination pursuant to this subsection 12(ii)(3) shall be deemed a termination by
the Licensee for cause. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MyECheck shall not indemnify, defend or hold harmless Licensee for any claims
solely based on: (a) any Licensee or third party intellectual property or software incorporated in or combined with the Software
where in the absence of such incorporated or combined item, there would not have been infringement, but excluding any third party
software or intellectual property incorporated into the Software at MyECheck's discretion; (b) Software which has been altered
or modified by Licensee, by any third party or by MyECheck at the request of the Licensee (where MyECheck had no discretion as
to the implementation of modifications to the Software or Documentation directed by Licensee), where in the absence of such alteration
or modification the Software would not be infringing; or (c) use of any version of the Software with respect to which MyECheck
has made available a non-infringing updated, revised or repaired subsequent version or other applicable update, patch or fix; (ii)
the use of MyECheck's premises by the Licensee employees pursuant to this Agreement; or (iii) any claim of personal injury or tangible
personal property damage (excluding data) of whatsoever nature or kind arising, in whole or in part, out of, as a result of, or
in connection with the gross negligent or willful misconduct of MyECheck, its employees, subcontractors or agents. Furthermore,
MyECheck agrees to maintain commercial general liability insurance of at least $2.5 million, covering MyECheck's obligations contained
herein on a claims-made basis with coverage for at least one year from the date of completion of the services. The provisions of
this Section 12 herein shall survive for a period of one year following the earlier of (a) completion of the Maintenance services
or (b) termination of this Agreement.
13. Licensee INDEMNITY.
Licensee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless MyECheck from and against all damages and costs (including reasonable attorneys'
fees) finally awarded against MyECheck (or finally settled upon) and arising from: (i) any claim of personal injury or tangible
personal property damage (excluding data) of whatsoever nature or kind arising, in whole or in part, out of, as a result of, or
in connection with the gross negligent or willful misconduct of the Licensee, its employees, subcontractors or agents; (ii) any
claim brought against MyECheck by a third party alleging that the Licensee Materials (as defined in Exhibit C) directly infringe
any U.S. copyright or trademark or misappropriate any trade secret (recognized as such under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act) in
existence as of the Effective Date; or (iii) any claim brought against MyECheck by a third party arising from or relating to any
modification of the Software by the Licensee or any use of the Software other than as permitted under this Agreement. The parties
acknowledge and agree that the Licensee's obligations under this section are conditioned upon MyECheck providing the Licensee:
(1) prompt written notice of the existence of such claim, suit, action or proceeding (each a "claim"); (2) sole control
over the defense or settlement of such claim; and (3) assistance at the Licensee's request to the extent reasonably necessary for
the defense of such claim. The foregoing sets forth Licensee's sole and exclusive obligation and MyECheck's sole and exclusive
remedy for any claim of intellectual property infringement or misappropriation relating to the Licensee Materials. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Licensee need not indemnify, defend nor hold harmless MyECheck for any claims arising from: (a) any MyECheck intellectual
property or software incorporated in or combined with the Licensee Materials where in the absence of such incorporated or combined
item, there would not have been infringement; (b) Licensee Materials which have been altered or modified by MyECheck (other than
in response to a request by Licensee), where in the absence of such alteration or modification the Licensee Materials would not
be infringing; (c) use of an any version of the Licensee Materials for which Licensee has made available an updated, revised or
repaired subsequent version; or (d) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of MyECheck or any of its agents, subcontractors
or employees. Upon notice of any claim of infringement or upon reasonable belief of the likelihood of such a claim, Licensee shall
have the right, at its option, to: (x) obtain the rights to continued use of the Licensee Materials; (y) substitute other suitable,
functionally-equivalent, non-infringing materials; or (z) replace or modify the Licensee Materials or their design so that they
are no longer infringing. The provisions of this Section 13 herein shall survive for a period of one year following the earlier
of (a) completion of the Maintenance services or (b) termination of this Agreement.
14. Limitation of Liability.
EXCEPT FOR ANY BREACH OF SECTION 10 OR WITH REGARD TO ANY DUTY OR OBLIGATION REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OR 13 OR WITH REGARD
TO ANY ACT OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, AND TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER PARTY HERETO

3 OR 10 OR WITH REGARD TO ANY DUTY OR OBLIGATION REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OR 13 OR WITH REGARD TO ANY FEE PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS

AGREEMENT AND THAT IN ITS ABSENCE, THE ECONOMIC TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT WOULD BE SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT
15. TERM AND TERMINATION.

effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Licensee may assign this Agreement to an entity that acquires or succeeds to all or

to MyECheck, and provided that: (i) MyECheck does not reasonably consider such Successor a direct competitor; and (ii) such assignment

bound by and discharge each of the Agreement's terms, conditions, and obligations as if it were the original party hereto.
16.6
Governing Law. This Agreement is deemed to have been made and performed in, and is construed pursuant to the laws of the State
of California, excluding application of its conflict of laws principles. In the event MyECheck initiates any legal proceeding with
regard to the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, the Parties hereby agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the appropriate state and federal courts located in the County of Sacramento, State of California. In the event that the Licensee
initiates any legal proceeding with regard to the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, the Parties hereby agree to
submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the appropriate state and federal courts of the place of performance of the Contract.
Each party irrevocably waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that
it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue for any such proceeding brought in such courts and any claims that any proceeding
brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. If either party retains counsel for the purpose of enforcing
or preventing the breach or threatened breach of any provision contained herein or otherwise retains counsel to enforce any right
or remedy it may have, then the prevailing party will be entitled to be promptly reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for all
reasonable costs, fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, expended or so incurred by the prevailing party. The
United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is specifically disclaimed and shall not apply to this
Agreement.
16.6

of this contract and obligations and representations affecting third parties in accordance with the Arbitration Act and the Universal

Lekki Lagos Nigeria. Disputes arising from MyECheck shall be referred to the North American Branch Northern California Chapter.
16.7
Remedies. Each Party recognizes and agrees that there is no adequate remedy at law for a threatened or actual breach of Section
3, Section 7, Section 11 or Section 15.3, that such a breach would irreparably harm the non-breaching Party and that such non-breaching
Party is entitled to seek equitable relief (including an injunction) with respect to any such breach or potential breach, in addition
to any other remedies available at law.
16.8
Waivers and Amendments. Any waiver of or amendment to the terms of this Agreement shall be effective only if made in writing and
signed by an authorized and duly empowered representative of each of the Parties hereto. No failure to exercise, and no delay in
exercising any right hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder
preclude further exercise of any right hereunder.
16.09
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid,
that provision shall be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible
under applicable law and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The Licensee agrees that Section 14 will
remain in effect notwithstanding the enforceability or unenforceability of any provision of Section 10.
16.10
Confidentiality of Agreement. MyECheck will disclose this Agreement based on the laws and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) governing the notification of the entry into a Material Definitive Agreement and subject to but not limited to
Section 101 of Form 8k as such is and may be amended from time to time. To the degree possible and allowed by law MyECheck shall
redact pricing and sensitive terms. The Licensee shall not disclose any part of this Agreement that MyECheck has not previously
disclosed and is publicly available in MyECheck’s 8-K filing to the SEC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may
make limited disclosure of the terms of this Agreement to the extent required by law, provided that the disclosing party: (i) provides
the non-disclosing party reasonable prior notice of such disclosure, and (ii) uses its best efforts to protect and limit the disclosure
of such information to the extent possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, The Licensee agrees that MyECheck may acknowledge the
Licensee as a MyECheck customer.
16.11
Construction. Section headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be used in interpreting this Agreement.
As used in this Agreement, the word "including" means "including but not limited to". The parties acknowledge
and agree that no implied rights or licenses are conveyed by this Agreement, that all rights are specific to the parties and do
not extend to their parents, subsidiaries or affiliates and that all rights in and to the Software not expressly granted to the
Licensee in this Agreement are reserved by MyECheck and its suppliers.
16.12
Promotion. Each party hereby grants to the other party a nonexclusive, non-transferable, right and license to display such party's
trademarks and logo (subject to the terms and conditions of such party's standard trademark usage guidelines) for purposes of reference
and acknowledgement. The MyECheck brand or logo shall be part of the Processing Solution and evident to Customers and end users.
The Licensee shall ensure Customers are aware of this before entering into the Agreement.
16.13
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be considered an original, but all of which together
will constitute the same instrument. Execution and delivery of this Agreement may be evidenced by facsimile transmission.
16.14
Inspection Rights. Upon reasonable notice and under the confidentiality terms of Section 11, MyECheck shall have the right once
per year to reasonably inspect the Licensee's premises and relevant records to determine compliance with this Agreement.
16.15
Force Majeure. Any delay in the performance of any duties or obligations of either party (except the payment of money owed) will
not be considered a breach of this Agreement if such delay is caused by a labor dispute, market shortage of materials, fire, earthquake,
flood or any other event beyond the control of such party, provided that such party uses reasonable efforts, under the circumstances,
to resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable.
16.16
U.S. Government Rights. The Software is a "commercial item," as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995),
consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation," as such terms
are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995)
(or an equivalent provision, e.g., in supplements of various U.S. government agencies, as applicable), all U.S. Government users
acquire the Software with only those rights set forth herein.
16.17
Section 365(n) of Internal Revenue Code. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by MyECheck to the
Licensee are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Code"),
licenses to rights to "intellectual property" as defined under the Code. The parties agree that the Licensee, as the
licensee of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Code.
The parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of bankruptcy proceeding by or against MyECheck under the Code,
the Licensee shall be entitled to retain all of its rights under this Agreement.
16.18
Parties Advised by Counsel. This Agreement has been negotiated between parties who are sophisticated and knowledgeable in the matters
contained herein and who have been represented by legal counsel. The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a reasonable
manner to effect the intentions of the Parties and any rule of law (including Section 1654 of the California Civil Code and any
other authority of any jurisdiction of similar effect) which would require interpretation of any ambiguities in this Agreement
against the drafting Party is not applicable and is hereby waived.
16.19
Entire Agreement. Both Parties agree that this Agreement, including the Exhibits attached hereto, is the complete and exclusive
statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous and contemporaneous written and oral
agreements and communications relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.
16.20
Remedies. The rights and remedies of each Party as set forth in this Agreement are not exclusive and are in addition to any other
rights and remedies available to it in law or in equity.

MAINTENANCE EXHIBIT
1. SCOPE OF COVERAGE. MyECheck
will provide maintenance and support services pursuant to this Exhibit ("Maintenance") for the duration of the term of
this Agreement.
2. MAINTENANCE SERVICES.
Subject to the terms of this Exhibit, MyECheck will provide the following:
2.1.
Severity Levels. MyECheck will use commercially reasonable efforts to acknowledge and address, as described below, reported and
reproducible material errors in the Software which prevent the Software from performing substantially in accordance with the Documentation
(each an "error or issue").
(a)
Severity 1 - Major System Impact. The Software suffers an error which cannot be reasonably circumvented and that substantially
impairs the performance of the Production Software as to effectively render it unusable. MyECheck will acknowledge any such reported
Production system error as promptly as possible (but in no event longer than two (2) hours) and will diligently use commercially
reasonable efforts to promptly address and remedy such error.
(b)
Severity 2 - Moderate System Impact. The Software suffers an error (and is not of Severity 1) which cannot be reasonably circumvented
and that substantially impairs the use of one or more portions or features of the Production Software required by Customers to
perform necessary business functions. MyECheck will acknowledge any such reported Production system error promptly, but in no event
longer than within four (4) hours and will promptly address and remedy such error during MyECheck's normal Maintenance hours.
(c)
Severity 3 - Minor System Impact. The Software suffers an error which impairs the use of one or more portions or features of the
Software, but the reported Production system error can be reasonably circumvented. MyECheck will acknowledge any such reported
Production error within one (1) business day and will work during MyECheck's normal Maintenance hours to provide the appropriate
resolution.
(d)
Resolution. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, MyECheck will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve each reported
error with the Software by providing either: (i) a reasonable work around, which may consist of specific administrative steps or
process changes; (ii) an object code patch to the Software; or (iii) a specific action plan regarding how MyECheck intends to address
the reported error and an estimate on how long it may take to remedy or work around the error. Licensee acknowledges that in order
to perform Maintenance, MyECheck may require access to Customer systems and/or a copy of code in Customer’s possession relating
to the Software. Licensee agrees to provide access, assistance and information to MyECheck as required to resolve errors with the
Software.
2.2
Available Updates. At no additional cost to Licensee, MyECheck will deliver to Licensee and their Customers, if so directed, as
made commercially available by MyECheck, bug fixes, Maintenance updates and Major Releases for the Software ("Updates"),
which will thereafter be considered "Software" for all purposes except for Section 8.1 of the Agreement.
2.3
Other Errors and Issues. If Licensee reports an error or issue with the Software that is not of Severity 1, 2 or 3 and that is
scheduled by MyECheck to be addressed in a later Update, MyECheck may address such error or issue in such Update. Licensee agrees
to put its best effort into getting its Customers to pay MyECheck at MyECheck's standard rates for all effort expended towards
resolution of any Customer error or issue which is later determined to result from any cause other than an error or issue in the
Software.
3. SUPPORT LINES.
3.1
First Line Support. Licensee shall establish and maintain the organization and processes to provide first line support directly
to any of Licensee's Customers. MyECheck shall have no obligation to provide any first line support to Licensee's Customers. First

performance, functionality or operation of the Software; (b) a diagnosis of problems or performance deficiencies in the Software;
and (c) a resolution of problems or performance deficiencies in the Software as provided by MyECheck if so warranted.
3.2
Second Line Support. MyECheck shall maintain the organization and processes necessary to provide second line support for the Software
to Licensee. Such second line support shall be provided to Licensee only if, after reasonable commercial effort, Licensee is unable
to diagnose and/or resolve problems or performance deficiencies in the Software. Second line support will be provided to up to
two (2) designated and trained representatives of Licensee. MyECheck shall have no obligation to provide second line support directly
to any of Licensee's Customers but may do so at their choice. In order to assist MyECheck in providing such second line support,
Licensee will provide MyECheck with the ability to access Licensee's or Customer’s site(s) which utilize the Software (including
but not limited to configuration information and error logs) and provide assistance to MyECheck in order to facilitate MyECheck's
use of remote administration tools relating to the Software.
4. SERVICE LIMITATIONS.
The Maintenance does not include, nor will MyECheck be obligated to provide, services required as a result of: (a) any modification,
reconfiguration or maintenance of the Software not performed or recommended by MyECheck; (b) any use of the Software on a system
that does not meet MyECheck 's minimum standards for such as set forth in the applicable Documentation; (c) any third party hardware
or software not supported or embedded by MyECheck; (d) any configuration of the Software (or hardware configurations) other than
