Alongside the Financings, the Company and NCR

collaboration that will combine Clip Money's pioneering business
cash deposit solution with NCR’s cardless cash deposit API and cash
in network.
Clip Money is the only multi-bank cash deposit
network in North America focused on businesses and driven by APIs,
enabling any business to make cash deposits into their bank account
of choice through Clip Money’s network without integration at the
bank itself. NCR will enable Clip Money deposit services at its
premier cash in network with more than 2,500 operating sites across
30 states serving more than 70 of the largest population centers
across the United States, complementing the current ClipDrop
network of nearly approximately 400 locations. The expanded network
will provide a large portion of U.S. business convenient access to
Clip Money’s services allowing businesses to manage cash more
efficiently regardless of the branch presence of their bank or
credit union of choice.
“This partnership with NCR seamlessly
complements Clip Money's existing deposit network, which is
primarily situated within shopping malls and prominent big box
retailers. NCR’s global market presence will provide Clip Money
with an immediate growth platform within North America, as well as
the potential to explore international market opportunities that
require business deposit transformation.”

Each Convertible Note issued under the
Convertible Notes Financing will be due and payable on the date
that is 60 months from the date hereof (the “Maturity
Date”) and will accrue simple interest at a rate of 8% per
annum, payable at the Maturity Date. The Convertible Notes will be
convertible into Common Shares at any time, in whole or in part, on
or prior to the Maturity Date at the option of the holder, based on
the principal amount of the Convertible Notes being converted
divided by a conversion price of CDN$0.26 per Common Share. No
accrued interest shall be paid on any part of the Convertible Notes
that is converted into Common Shares. The Convertible Notes issued
to Cardtronics and the Secondary Investor are secured by a first
and second lien security interest, respectively, in all of the
assets of the Company.
Upon closing of the Financings, Cardtronics
became a Control Person of the Company (as such term is defined in

connection with the Financings.
All securities to be issued in connection with
the Equity Financing and the Convertible Notes Financing are
subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from
the date hereof in accordance with applicable securities

publicly announced by the Company on August 15, 2023.

issued in connection with the Company’s unsecured convertible note
financing publicly announced by the Company on June 14, 2023 was
redeemed by the Company in exchange for a cash payment to the
Secondary Investor equal to 105% of the Principal Amount plus
