This Exporter
Services Agreement (this “Agreement”) is effective as of the date of the agreement is April 25, 2016 (the “Effective
Date”) and is by and between AmericaTowne, Inc., a Delaware corporation doing business at 4700 Homewood Court, Suite
100 Raleigh, North Carolina 27609 USA (“AmericaTowne”), and FEMEB Nigeria Limited (FEMEB) doing business at
21 Coker Road, Ilupeju, Lagos, Nigeria (“Exporter”). AmericaTowne and Exporter are collectively referred to
as the “Parties” or each individually as a “Party”.

 

WHEREAS, AmericaTowne
is a publicly reporting company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Through
those agreements disclosed in AmericaTowne’s filings, it represents herein that it has the exclusive right, title and interest
in certain intellectual property rights and other assets used in the introduction, maintenance and facilitation of the exportation
of consumer goods into, amongst other countries, China, through the use of an international import trade platform (“AmericaTowne’s
Exporting Business”).

 

WHEREAS,
AmericaTowne’s Exporting Business consists or will consist of exhibition, showroom and display facilities, support office(s)
and staff located in the United States and China, and the platform consists or will consist of a buyer’s network, and online
websites either directly owned by AmericaTowne or in a partnership with third-parties in order to support the exhibition center,
showroom and network to market imported goods and services to consumers in China (collectively referred to as the “AmericaTowne
Platform”).

 

WHEREAS,
the AmericaTowne Platform is designed to save Exporter time, money, and other resources in testing the market to determine if a
demand exists for their product or service in China. AmericaTowne will use its buyer’s
network, and staff in China and elsewhere to make its commercially reasonable best efforts to promote, distribute and market throughout
the Exporter’s goods and services and identify potential buyers and other business relationships for the Exporter’s
goods or services.

WHEREAS, AmericaTowne’s
Exporting Business compliments, in certain circumstances, specific businesses under separate agreement with AmericaTowne through

agreed, the Exporter is not subject to the rights, duties or obligations under the Management Agreement; rather, the rights, duties
and obligations set forth herein are distinct from those under the Management Agreement. The Parties agree that to the extent they
are or shall become parties to a Management Agreement, this Agreement and the Management Agreement shall be merged forming a fully
integrated agreement under Delaware law, and shall be read consistent with each other.

 

WHEREAS, the Parties
agree that these recitals are not mere statements but statements in which they have each relied on in entering into this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE,
for the consideration stated herein, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1. Term
and Termination. This Agreement shall be effective on the Effective Date. This Agreement shall expire fifteen (15) years after
the Effective Date, unless otherwise extended herein pursuant to Section 7, or terminated early as provided below for breach of

between FEMEB and AmericaTowne. For the $615,000 USD, FEMEB shall make payment by a Letter of Credit (LOC) or Standby Letter of
Credit (SBLC) in a currency acceptable to AmericaTowne. Nine months after the equipment has been installed FEMEB will be required
to pay the supplier directly any balance due on the EPS Machinery. AmericaTowne will not be obligated in any way to pay for the
outstanding balance to the Supplier after initial delivery of the EPS Machinery. The exporter may be required to sign a note for
outstanding service fees. Also, AmericaTowne Inc. at its sole discretion may exchange other assets or items of value for payments
due.

Supplied Materials are on this list, or end up on this list prior to delivery by AmericaTowne, AmericaTowne will advise Exporter
of such restriction and Exporter will be entitled to a refund of the Service Fee minus any setoffs due under this Agreement, i.e.
outstanding Transaction Fee. This Section 6(c) shall be null and void upon termination of this Agreement, as provided for in Section
