any “time bombs,” “worms,” “viruses,” “Trojan horses,” “protect codes,”
“data destruct keys,” or other programming devices that are intended to access, modify, delete, damage, deactivate
or disable the Subscription Services (collectively, “Malicious Code”). As AppTech’s sole remedy
for breach of this warranty, NECP shall take action immediately to investigate, identify and remove such Malicious Code from the
Subscription Software.

 

(d)         Limited Services Warranty
and Remedy For Breach. 

NECP warrants to AppTech that NECP
will render the Subscription Services with reasonable care and skill. NECP further warrants that the hosted environment will be
available at all times throughout the Subscription Term, subject to the exceptions and allowances described in the Availability
section of the applicable Service Level Description. The level of unavailability shall not exceed one half of one percent (0.5%)
per month, excluding Scheduled Maintenance as described in the applicable Service Level Description (the “Down Time
Warranty”). In the event of a breach of the foregoing warranty NECP shall apply service level credits based on the
actual availability measure for the applicable period as follows:

 

    	Page 9 of 17

    	 

    

 

	Availability	Service Level
Credit
	99.900% or greater
	No Service Level Credit
	99.899% - 99.500% 	5% of the monthly prorated annual
maintenance subscription fee
	99.499% - 99.000% 	7.5% of the monthly prorated
annual maintenance subscription fee
	98.999% - 98.000%	10% of the monthly prorated
annual maintenance subscription fee
	Below 98.000%	12.5% of the monthly prorated
annual maintenance subscription fee

 

For example, a 5% service level credit shall
be equal to 5% of 1/12 of the 12 month annual maintenance subscription fee. Service level credits shall be applied to AppTech’s
next invoice or, if AppTech has paid the final invoice under this Agreement, service level credits shall be paid to AppTech within
thirty (30) calendar days following the determination that the credit is due. Except as set forth below, the service level credit
is the exclusive remedy and is in lieu of all other remedies for breach of the Down Time Warranty.

 

(e)         Disclaimer
of Warranties.

The limited warranties in this Section
5 are made to AppTech exclusively and are in lieu of all other warranties. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NECP MAKES
NO OTHER WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH REGARD TO THE SUBSCRIPTION SOFTWARE AND SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES PROVIDED
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR ANY ORDER FORM, IN WHOLE OR IN PART. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NECP EXPLICITLY DISCLAIMS
ALL WARRANTIES OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY AND OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, NECP EXPRESSLY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SUBSCRIPTION SOFTWARE OR SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, WILL BE ERROR
FREE, OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION OR MEET APPTECH’S REQUIREMENTS.

 

(f)          Abrogation
of Limited Warranty.

NECP shall have no obligation under
this Section 5 to the extent that any alleged breach of warranty is caused by any modification of the Subscription Software not
performed by or on behalf of NECP. To the extent that an alleged breach of warranty concerns a Third Party Product that is subject
to a more limited warranty under a Third Party Agreement than specified in Section 5 above, NECP’s obligations hereunder
will be further limited accordingly provided that details of the more limited warranty are set out in the Order Form pursuant to
which such Third Party Products are licensed.

 

6.          Confidential Information. 

 

(a)         
Confidentiality.

The Confidential Information disclosed
under this Agreement may be used, disclosed or reproduced only to the extent necessary to further and fulfill the purposes of this
Agreement. Except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement, the Recipient will not knowingly disclose to any third party, or
make any use of, the Discloser’s Confidential Information. The Recipient will use at least the same standard of care to maintain
the confidentiality of the Discloser’s Confidential Information that it uses to maintain the confidentiality of its own Confidential
Information, but in no event less than reasonable care. The non-disclosure and non-use obligations of this Agreement will remain
in full force with respect to each item of Confidential Information for the duration of this Agreement and for a period of three
(3) years thereafter; provided, however, that AppTech’s obligations to maintain the Source Code, Subscription
Software and Documentation as confidential will survive for so long as any of the Source Code, Subscription Software and Documentation
are trade secrets, and NECP’s obligations to maintain the AppTech Data as confidential shall survive for so long as NECP
retains such AppTech Data in any of its systems. Each of AppTech and NECP shall be responsible for the breach of the confidentiality
terms contained in this Section 6 by any of its directors, officers, employees, Authorised Users, agents, accountants and advisors.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section is not intended to prevent (a) a Recipient from using Residual Knowledge, subject to
any Intellectual Property Rights of the Discloser, or (b) NECP from using Anonymous Data. If the Recipient should receive any request
for disclosure of Confidential Information that is required by law, regulation or by governmental or self-regulatory authority
with competent jurisdiction over the Recipient or any court or tribunal with competent jurisdiction over the Recipient, the Recipient
shall (if allowed by law) provide the Discloser with prompt notice of such request or advice so that the Discloser may seek a protective
order or pursue other appropriate assurance of the confidential treatment of the Confidential Information. Regardless of whether
or not a protective order or other assurance is obtained, the Recipient shall furnish only that portion of the Discloser’s
Confidential Information which is legally required to be furnished and to use reasonable efforts to assure that the information
is maintained in confidence by the party to whom it is furnished.

 

    	Page 10 of 17

    	 

    

 

(b)         Quality and Security
Policies and Safeguards. 

NECP shall establish and maintain
administrative, technical, and physical processes and safeguards designed to ensure quality of services and protect against the
destruction, loss, unauthorised access or alteration of AppTech Data and Personal Information in the possession or under the control
of NECP or to which NECP has access, which are (i) in compliance with generally accepted industry standards including but not limited
to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (“PCI-DSS”), ISO9001 Quality Management System (“ISO9001”)
and ISO27001 Information Security Management System (“ISO27001”); and (ii) required by applicable laws.

 

(c)         Review of Controls.

Once in each twelve (12) month period
during the Subscription Term, NECP shall, at its cost and expense, engage duly qualified independent auditors to conduct a review
of the design and operating effectiveness of NECP’s defined security and quality objectives and control activities in connection
with the Subscription Services. NECP shall cause such auditors to prepare reports in accordance with standards of PCI-DSS, ISO9001
and ISO27001 (the “Audit Reports”). AppTech shall have the right to request and receive a copy of the
Audit Reports and AppTech may share a copy of such Audit Reports with its auditors and regulators, provided that, such Audit Reports
shall be NECP’s Confidential Information (as defined in this Agreement).

 

(d)         Security Incident Response.

In the event that NECP becomes aware
that the security of any AppTech Data or Personal Information has been compromised, or that such AppTech Data or Personal Information
has been or is reasonably expected to be subject to a use or disclosure not authorised by this Agreement (an “Information
Security Incident”), NECP shall: (i) promptly (and in any event within twenty four (24) hours of becoming aware of
such Information Security Incident), notify AppTech, in writing, of the occurrence of such Information Security Incident; (ii)
investigate such Information Security Incident and conduct a reasonable analysis of the cause(s) of such Information Security Incident;
(iii) provide periodic updates of any ongoing investigation to AppTech; (iv) develop and implement an appropriate plan to remediate
the cause of such Information Security Incident to the extent such cause is within NECP’s control; and (v) cooperate with
AppTech’s reasonable investigation or AppTech’s efforts to comply with any notification or other regulatory requirements
applicable to such Information Security Incident.

 

(e)          Data Protection.

Any processing of Personal Information
required in the performance of the Subscription Services will be performed by NECP, NECP employees, NECP’s Affiliates and
subcontractors only as instructed by AppTech and only in accordance with applicable data protection legislation. AppTech shall
ensure that it transfers Personal Information to NECP only to the extent required for NECP to provide the Subscription Services.
AppTech shall ensure that all Personal Information which it supplies or discloses to NECP has been obtained fairly and lawfully
and that it will obtain all necessary consents from persons whose data is being processed and registrations with authorities to
permit NECP to transfer Personal Information to third parties pursuant to its obligations under this Agreement. NECP shall have
no liability whatsoever for breaches of the applicable data protection legislation that arise as a result of its following AppTech’s
instructions in providing the Subscription Services. Should AppTech’s instructions contravene or appear likely to contravene
other legislation binding NECP, NECP will notify AppTech and request alternate instructions not in contravention of such legislation.

7.          Indemnification. 

 

(a)          Indemnity by NECP.

NECP will defend, indemnify and
hold AppTech harmless from and against any loss, cost and expense to the extent arising from a third party claim against AppTech
that the Subscription Software or provision of the Subscription Services infringes any Intellectual Property Rights of others.
NECP’s obligations under this indemnification are expressly conditioned on the following: (i) AppTech must promptly notify
NECP of any such claim; (ii) AppTech must, in writing, grant NECP sole control of the defense of any such claim and of all negotiations
for its settlement or compromise so long as such settlement or compromise does not result in payment of money by AppTech or an
admission of guilt by AppTech (if AppTech chooses to represent its own interests in any such action, AppTech may do so at its own
expense, but such representation must not prejudice NECP’s right to control the defense of the claim and negotiate its settlement
or compromise); (iii) AppTech must reasonably cooperate with NECP to facilitate the settlement or defence of the claim. NECP will
not have any liability hereunder to the extent the claim arises from (a) any modification of the Subscription Software by, on behalf
of, or at the request of AppTech; or (b) the use or combination of the Subscription Software with any computer, computer platform,
operating system and/or data base management system other than provided by NECP. If any Subscription Software is, or in NECP’s
opinion is likely to become, the subject of an Intellectual Property Rights infringement claim, then NECP, at its sole option and
expense, will either: (A) obtain for AppTech the right to continue using the Subscription Software under the terms of this Agreement;
(B) replace the Subscription Software with products that are substantially equivalent in function, or modify the Subscription Software
so that it becomes non-infringing and substantially equivalent in function; or (C) refund to AppTech the un-used portion of the
Subscription Fee, if any, paid to NECP for the Subscription Software giving rise to the infringement claim, and discontinue AppTech’s
use of such Subscription Software and Subscription Services. THE FOREGOING SETS FORTH NECP’S EXCLUSIVE OBLIGATION AND
LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

 

(b)         Indemnity by AppTech.

AppTech will defend, indemnify
and hold NECP harmless from and against any loss, cost and expense to the extent arising from a third party claim against NECP
that the Patent Rights and or the Patent License infringes on any Intellectual Property Rights of others. AppTech’s obligations
under this indemnification are expressly conditioned on the following: (i) NECP must promptly notify AppTech of any such claim;
(ii) NECP must, in writing, grant AppTech sole control of the defense of any such claim and of all negotiations for its settlement
or compromise so long as such settlement or compromise does not result in payment of money by NECP or an admission of guilt by
NECP (if NECP chooses to represent its own interests in any such action, NECP may do so at its own expense, but such representation
must not prejudice AppTech’s right to control the defense of the claim and negotiate its settlement or compromise); (iii)
NECP must reasonably cooperate with AppTech to facilitate the settlement or defence of the claim. THE FOREGOING SETS FORTH APPTECH’S
EXCLUSIVE OBLIGATION AND LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

 

8.          Term and Termination.

 

(a)          Term.

With respect to the Subscription
Software, the Initial Subscription Term shall be as set forth on the applicable Order Form. After the Initial Subscription Term,
the Subscription Term shall renew for successive five (5) year Renewal Terms, unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal
to the other party at least ninety (90) days prior to expiration of the Initial Subscription Term or then current Renewal Term,
as the case may be. Except as set forth in Section 5(d) and Section 8(b), the Subscription Term cannot be terminated prior to its
expiration date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AppTech will be allowed to cancel the renewal prior to the expiration of the Initial
Subscription Term or the then current Renewal Term (as applicable) by notice in writing for reasons of non-appropriation of funding.

 

    	Page 12 of 17

    	 

    

 

(b)          Conditional
Exclusivity during Renewal Terms

Should AppTech choose to renew the
Subscription Term and wishes to extend the conditional exclusivity described in 2(a) during the subsequent Renewal Term it shall
notify NECP at least ninety (90) days prior to expiration of the Initial Subscription Term or then current Renewal Term as the
case may be with a written request containing a revised Volume target for each twelve (12) month period in the subsequent Renewal
Term. NECP shall consider any such written request in good faith and provide a written response approving or declining such request
within sixty (60) days of receipt thereof.

 

(c)          Right
of Termination for Material Breach.

Subject to 5(b) herein, if either
party breaches any material obligation in this Agreement or an Order Form (including, without limitation, any obligation to pay
Subscription Fees), and fails to remedy such breach (if such breach can be remedied) within thirty (30) days of receipt of written
notice of such breach, the other party may terminate this Agreement (including all Order Forms hereunder). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, to the extent such material breach cannot be remedied through efforts of the breaching party, the other party has the
right to terminate this Agreement (including all Order Forms hereunder) on less than thirty (30) days’ written notice.

 

(d)          Right
of Termination for Failure to Secure Funding.

Either Party may terminate this Agreement
upon delivery of written notice if AppTech fails to secure the Funding by the Funding Date.

 

(e)           Effect
of Termination.

Upon termination of this Agreement
by either party, AppTech’s license to access and use the Subscription Software and Subscription Services shall immediately
terminate as of the effective date of such termination. Termination of this Agreement will not release either party from making
payments which may be owing to the other party under the terms of this Agreement. If AppTech properly terminates this Agreement
pursuant to Section 8(b), NECP will refund any unused, prepaid Subscription Fees. Termination of this Agreement will be without
prejudice to the terminating party’s other rights and remedies pursuant to this Agreement, unless otherwise expressly stated
herein.

 

(f)          Return
and Destruction of AppTech Data.

Upon termination or expiration of
this Agreement, NECP shall promptly make all AppTech Data available to AppTech via export. Thereafter, NECP shall destroy all AppTech
Data. In the event that AppTech requires any termination assistance services, NECP and AppTech shall mutually agree upon the scope
of such termination assistance services and the fees and expenses payable for such termination assistance services.

 

(g)         Survival of Obligations.
All obligations relating to non-use and non-disclosure of Confidential Information, limitation of liability, and such other terms
which by their nature survive termination, will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

11.        Assignment. 

 

AppTech may not assign or transfer any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of NECP, whether by operation of law or otherwise,
including in connection with a change in control, merger, acquisition, consolidation, asset sale or other reorganisation, and any
attempt at such assignment or transfer will be void. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld except in that event that

notify AppTech of any such assignment and AppTech may terminate this Agreement by written notice within three (3) months of such

12.        No Waiver.

any translations. If any provision of this Agreement is illegal or unenforceable, it will be deemed stricken from the Agreement
and the remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

 

    	Page 14 of 17

    	 

    

 

(b)          The Parties agree to resolve
any dispute in connection with this Agreement through good faith negotiations. In the event that a resolution of a dispute is not
reached within fifteen (15) days of negotiations commencing the matter shall be escalated to the Chief Executive Officer of AppTech
and the Chief Executive Officer of NECP who shall attempt to agree a final resolution to the dispute. In the event that a resolution
is still not agreed within a further fifteen (15) days, the dispute, except with respect to disputes arising from a misappropriation

the place of arbitration shall be New York, United States of America. The language(s) of the arbitration shall be English. Any

The arbitrators are explicitly authorised to award attorneys’ fees as part of any award. This arbitration provision shall
be deemed to be self-executing and in the event either Party fails to appear at any properly noticed arbitration proceeding, award
may be entered against either Party notwithstanding a Party’s failure to appear. Nothing in this Clause 13 shall bar the
right of either Party to seek and obtain injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with applicable
law against threatened conduct that is likely to cause irreparable harm pending completion of the arbitration. For those matters
excluded from arbitration under this provision, the Parties agree to use the United States Federal Courts located in the Eastern
District of New York and they consent to the jurisdiction thereof for service of process.

 

14.        LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY.

 

(a)          NO EXCLUSION. NOTWITHSTANDING
ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY EXCLUDES OR LIMITS ITS LIABILITY IN RESPECT OF DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY

NECP (including any third party auditor retained
by NECP) may audit the records and systems of AppTech to ensure compliance with the scope of the license granted herein and in
each applicable Order Form. NECP will notify AppTech in writing at least ten (10) days prior to any such audit. Any such audit
will be conducted during regular business hours and will not interfere unreasonably with AppTech’s business activities. NECP
may audit AppTech no more than once in any twelve (12) month period. If an audit reveals that AppTech is using the Subscription
Software or Subscription Services beyond the scope of the license granted herein (for example, in excess of the Licence Restriction),
then, in addition to any other remedies available to NECP, AppTech will promptly pay NECP the underpaid Subscription Fees associated
therewith based on NECP’s then-current list rates, as well as any applicable late payment charges.

of this Agreement or otherwise.

 

18.       Entire Agreement.

the entire understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter, and supersedes and extinguishes all prior oral and
written communications between the parties about its subject matter. Any purchase order or similar document, which may be issued
by AppTech in connection with this Agreement does not modify, supplement or add terms to this Agreement. No modification of this
Agreement will be effective unless it is in writing, is signed by each party, and expressly provides that it amends this Agreement.
This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection herewith or contemplated hereby, and any amendments
hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of digital imaging, electronic mail or a facsimile machine, shall
be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal
effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. This Agreement and all Order Forms may be signed

nor additive. Service Credit will be applied for only one Service Level failure, e.g. a failure in the Reporting Availability
resulting in a failure in the Reconciliation Availability would result in application of only one Service Credit.
