BENEFICIAL OWNERS FOR THEMSELVES

Each Seller and each Seller’s Beneficial Owner(s) (each, collectively an “Exchangor”) hereby, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Buyer as follows:

6.1 No Registration. Such Exchangor understands that the Exchange Shares, have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act.

6.2 Investment Intent. Such Exchangor is acquiring the Exchange Shares for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and that such Exchangor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. Such Exchangor further represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person or entity to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or entity or to any third person or entity with respect to any of the Exchange Shares.

6.3 Investment Experience. Such Exchangor has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Buyer and its Subsidiary and acknowledges that such Exchangor, can protect its own interests. Such Exchangor or its Purchaser Representative has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so that such Exchangor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Buyer.

6.4 Investment Risk. Such Exchangor understands and acknowledges that an investment in the Buyer involves substantial risks. Such Exchangor can bear the economic risk of such Exchangor’s investment and is able, without impairing such Exchangor’s financial condition, to hold the Exchange Shares for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of such Exchangor’s investment.

6.5 Access to Data. Such Exchangor has had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the officers of the Buyer concerning this Agreement, the exhibits and schedules attached hereto and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as well as the Buyer’s and its Subsidiary’s business, management and financial affairs, which questions were answered to its satisfaction. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Buyer in Section 3 of this Agreement or the right of the Beneficial Owners to rely thereon.

6.6 Accredited Investor. Such Exchangor is either an existing shareholder of the Buyer or an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act and shall submit to the Buyer such further assurances of such status as may be reasonably requested by the Buyer except as otherwise indicated in the subscription agreement executed by such Exchangor.

6.8 Rule 144 and Stock Transfer Restrictions. Such Exchangor acknowledges that the Exchange Shares must be (i) held for at least two years from the date of issuance under the Utah Financial Institutions Act and regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) held under federal and state securities laws for an indefinite period of time until such shares are registered or can be traded pursuant to an exemption from registration. Such Exchangor is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permit limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including among other things, the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability of certain current public information about the Buyer, the resale occurring not less than one year after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sale being effected through a “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a “market maker” and the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations. Such Exchangor understands that the current public information referred to above is not now available and the Buyer has no present plans to make such information available. Such Exchangor acknowledges and understands that the Buyer may not be satisfying the current public information requirement of Rule 144 at the time the Exchangor wishes to sell the Exchange Shares and that, in such event, the Exchangor may be precluded from selling such securities under Rule 144, even if the other requirements of Rule 144 have been satisfied. Such Exchangor acknowledges that, in the event all of the requirements of Rule 144 are not met, registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration will be required for any disposition of the Exchange Shares. Such Exchangor understands that, although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell restricted securities received in a private offering other than in a registered offering or pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales and that such persons and the brokers who participate in the transactions do so at their own risk.

6.11 Brokers or Finders. Such Exchangor has not engaged any brokers, finders or agents, and neither the Buyer nor any other Exchangor has, nor will, incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by the Exchangor, any liability for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or any similar charges in connection with the Agreements.

With respect to such matters, such Exchangor relies solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Buyer or any of its agents, written or oral. The Exchangor understands that it (and not the Buyer) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by the Agreements.

The covenants made by the parties in this Agreement shall survive the Closing.

10.2 Indemnification by Sellers.

(a) Company. The Sellers shall jointly and severally indemnify and defend Buyer and hold it harmless against and with respect to any and all damage, loss, liability,deficiency, cost and expense incurred by Buyer (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) (all of the foregoing hereinafter collectively referred to as “Loss”) resulting from:

(i) any inaccuracy in any representation, or breach of any warranty, made by the Sellers in Articles IV; or

(ii) any tax obligation or liability relating to a pre-closing period, including, without limitation, the audit or assessment of taxes by any federal, state or local authority.

(b) Personal. The Sellers shall severally, but not jointly, indemnify and defend Buyer and hold it harmless with respect to any and all loss resulting from:

(i) any inaccuracy in any representation, or breach of any warranty, made by the Sellers in Articles VI; or

(ii) the breach of any covenant or undertaking by the Sellers or Beneficial Owners contained in this Agreement which survives the Closing and is not waived by Buyer at or prior to the Closing, including, without limitation, a breach of Sections 1.1 or 12.13; or

(iii) a claim by any person other than the Beneficial Owners or the Sellers who are not natural persons that they are entitled to any of the Exchange Shares or that the transfer of any part of the 10% Membership Interest to Buyer was not properly authorized by the Sellers or is defective in any manner.

10.3 Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer shall indemnify and defend Sellers and hold it harmless against and with respect to any and all Loss resulting from:

(a) any inaccuracy in any representation, or breach of any warranty, set forth in Article V; or

(b) the breach of any covenant or undertaking by Buyer which survive the Closing and is not waived by Sellers at or prior to the Closing.

Any party seeking indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnitee”) shall give each party from whom indemnification is sought (an "Indemnitor") prompt written notice of the claim for which it seeks indemnification. Failure of the Indemnitee to give such prompt notice shall not relieve an Indemnitor of its indemnification obligation; provided that such indemnification obligation shall be reduced by any damages suffered by the Indemnitor resulting from a failure to give prompt notice hereunder. The Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim. If at any time the Indemnitor acknowledges in writing that the claim is fully indemnifiable under this Agreement, it shall have the right to assume total control of the defense of such claim at its own expense. The Indemnitee agrees not to settle such claim without the written consent of the Indemnitor which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Nothing contained in this Section 10.7 shall prevent either party from assuming total control of the defense and/or settling any claim against it for which indemnification is not sought under this Agreement.

10.6 Limitations.

(a) No Party shall be required to indemnify any other Party under this Article 10 unless written notice of a claim under this Article 10 was given by the Party seeking indemnification within fifteen (15) days after the end of the period specified in Section 10.4.

(b) No Party may seek indemnification under Section 10.2(a) or 10.3 until the aggregate amount of claims against that the Party seeking indemnification (a “Claimant”) is entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement exceeds Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00), after which the Claimant shall be entitled to recover, and the Indemnitor(s) shall be obligated for, all losses, costs, liabilities, damages and expenses for Claimant in excess of the first Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00) of such losses; provided, however, that this deductible shall not apply to claims under Section 10.2(b).

(c) In addition to the foregoing, the Company, Sellers and Beneficial Owners’ (the “Selling Parties”) obligation to indemnify Buyer under Section 10.2(a), and Buyer’s obligation to indemnify the Selling Parties under Section 10.3, shall not exceed the amount equal to number of Exchange Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement, multiplied by the per share book value of the shares of stock of Buyer’s subsidiary, FinWise Bank, as set forth on the most recent Call Report filed by FinWise Bank prior to the Closing (the “FinWise Book Value”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer agrees not to seek indemnification from an Exchangor who, at Closing, owned less than 5% of the Company in an amount not to exceed that value of the number of Exchange Shares received by such individual Exchangor multiplied by the FinWise Book Value.

(d) Further, the obligation of any individual Exchangor to indemnify Buyer under Section 10.2(b), and the Buyer’s obligation to indemnify an individual Exchangor, shall not exceed the amount equal to the number of Exchange Shares received by the Exchangor multiplied by the FinWise Book Value. For purposes of Section 10.6 (c) and (d), any entity that is a Seller and its Beneficial Owner(s) shall be treated as a single Exchangor.

(e) In calculating the amount of losses to the Buyer or the Selling Parties under Section 10.2 and Section 10.3 such losses shall be reduced by any recovery from any third party (including insurance proceeds) as a result of the facts or circumstances giving rise to the losses.

10.7 Exclusions. Neither Party shall be liable for special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages or for loss of profits or revenues, even if such Party has been advised of the possibility of such damages unless such Party acts in bad faith; provided, however, that third party damages that are otherwise indemnifiable under Article X shall not be excluded from indemnification by reason that they include special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages of the third party or loss of profits or revenue of such third party. By way of clarification and not limitation, all third party damages are hereby considered direct damages for purposes of indemnification.
