INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND TECHNOLOGY ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Intellectual Property and Technology Asset Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”), is entered into as of July 6, 2026 by and among FintechWerx International Software Services Inc., a company incorporated pursuant to the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada (the “Buyer”) and 1431575 B.C. Ltd., a company incorporated pursuant to the laws of the British Columbia, Canada (the “Seller”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS:

A. The Buyer is a Canadian financial technology company providing onboarding, payments, identity verification, fraud mitigation, and data services to merchants, independent sales organizations, and payment service providers, offering an alternative to the need for a patchwork of providers;

B. The Seller is a private company that owns certain intellectual property and technology pertaining to the Technology (as defined below);

C. The Seller has developed technology (“Ruby Loans”), which is a small and medium-sized lending platform. Ruby Loans places the initialization of a credit enquiry in the hands of the borrower and automates a significant degree of the current manual processes involved in creating a small business loan or mortgage file ready for approval. The platform unites processes and tools and is designed to take the application through a stepped process from enquiry with input gathered from the borrower to the submission and evaluation of key documents along with a financial and risk evaluation. The intended result is a quality loan application being generated prior to the involvement of credit risk personnel (collectively “Technology”); and

D. The Seller wishes to transfer and assign to the Buyer, and the Buyer wishes to acquire from the Seller, all of the Technology and all related Intellectual Property, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

5.6 The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

5.7 If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

5.8 This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall enure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither Party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No assignment shall relieve the assigning Party of any of its obligations hereunder.

5.9 This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person or entity any legal or

5.10 The Parties acknowledge and agree that Cozen O'Connor LLP (“Cozen O'Connor”) has acted as legal counsel to the Buyer only, and not to any other Party, and that Cozen O'Connor has not been engaged to protect the rights and interests of any other Party. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that they have been advised and have had adequate opportunity to seek, independent legal and taxation advice with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and for the purpose of ensuring their rights and interests are protected. The Seller represents and warrants to the Buyer and Cozen O'Connor that they have sought independent legal and taxation advice or have consciously chosen not to do so with full knowledge of the risks associated with not obtaining such independent legal or taxation advice.

5.11 No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party so waiving. No waiver by any Party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

5.12 The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

5.13 The representations and warranties of the Seller and the Buyer contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year from the Closing Date (the “Survival Period”), after which time they shall expire and be of no further force and effect.

5.14 Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Section 5.134, from and after the Closing Date, the Seller shall indemnify and defend the Buyer and its respective Representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnites”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Buyer Indemnites based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

5.16 The limitation set forth in the above Section 5.15 shall not apply to Losses arising from fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Seller.

5.17 The indemnification provisions of this Article 5 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of each Party with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement contained in this Agreement, except for claims based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation, and except that nothing herein shall limit any Party's right to seek relief pursuant to Section 5.14.

5.18 Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Section 5.158, from and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall indemnify and defend the Seller and its respective Representatives (collectively, the "Seller Indemnitees") against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Seller Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or instrument delivered by or on behalf of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.

5.19 This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing:

(a) by mutual written agreement of the Buyer and the Seller;

(b) by either Party, upon written notice to the other Party, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the date that is ninety (90) days after the date of this Agreement (the “Outside Date”); provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this section shall not be available to any Party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement has been the principal cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Date; or

(c) by either Party, upon written notice to the other Party, if any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction shall have issued an Order or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining, or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Order or action shall have become final and non-appealable.

5.20 In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this section, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force and effect (except for this section, Section 5.1 (Governing Law), Section 5.2 (Confidentiality), and Section 5.4 (Expenses), which shall survive any termination of this Agreement), and there shall be no liability on the part of any Party; provided, that nothing herein shall relieve any Party from liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination, including any willful breach.

5.21 This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the relationship between the Parties, and supersedes all other representations, understandings, or agreements, whether oral or written entered into or made prior to the date that this Agreement is signed by the Parties.
