CONTRIBUTION AND LICENSE AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.10

This CONTRIBUTION AND LICENSE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of August 11, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Funding Wonder, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“FW”) and Finfora Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Finfora” and, together with FW, the “Parties”).

Background

FW owns and operates a fully FINRA licensed online debt crowd funding platform at xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx (the “Platform”);

FW internally developed and owns all of the proprietary software architecture and code used to run and maintain the Platform in the ordinary course of business (the “Software”);

Finfora was organized under Delaware law to serve as an joint venture investment vehicle pursuant to which FW and certain investors plans to further exploit the Software through the development of a white label “software as a service” program pursuant to which the Software will be licensed to or used by third parties who desire own and operate their own crowd funding platforms;

FW currently owns 750,000 shares of capital stock of Finfora which represents 50% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Finfora;

The Parties desire to enter into this Agreement to memorialize the terms and conditions of their mutual understanding and agreement regarding the contribution of the Software to Finfora in exchange for additional shares of capital stock of Finfora.

Terms and Conditions

For the reasons described above, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

Contribution of Software. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, FW hereby contributes, transfers, assigns, conveys and delivers to Finfora, 100% of the FW’s right, title and interest in and to the Software, which for purposes of clarification includes, without limitation, all human readable code which documents the Software, including all related compilers, entities, listings, test suites, build scripts, libraries, design documentation and technical documentation related thereto, and any modifications of, revisions, improvements to, or derivative work of any source code components, made, conceived or reduced to practice by FW in connection with the Software, including without limitation all bug fixes, made on or prior to the date hereof.

Grant of Capital Stock. In exchange for FW’s contribution of the Software, Finfora hereby contemporaneously issues to FW 14,250,000 shares of Finfora’s common capital stock (the “New Shares”), which, upon consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, shall represent approximately 90.48 % of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Finfora on a fully diluted basis. After consummation of the contribution,

FW shall own 95.24% of Finfora’s common capital stock on a fully diluted basis.

Retention of License by FW. Contemporaneously with the contribution of the Software, Finfora hereby grants to FW and its affiliates, and FW hereby retains, a limited, perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid-up, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license (the “FW License”) to use the Software to operate its existing debt crowd funding platform in the ordinary course of its business, as it is currently conducted. The FW License does not include any right to assign, sublicense, sell, copy, market, promote, exploit, reproduce, publicly distribute, create or reproduce the Software or any derivative works thereof, or otherwise use the Software in any capacity except in connection with FW’s and its affiliates’ debt crowd funding platform as currently conducted, with the exception of the rights to make modifications for internal use and bug fixes in the ordinary course of business. The FW License is only assignable by FW in connection with a sale of FW’s entire business, whether by sale of assets, merger, change in voting control, or similar sale event, but Finfora shall have the right to require any successor to FW to expressly consent to and ratify the limitations to the FW License as set forth herein prior to the consummation of any such sale of FW’s business, failing which such assignment shall be deemed null and void for all purposes, and result in an immediate forfeiture of the FW License.

Delivery.

FW agrees that it will deliver to Finfora a complete and accurate copy of the Software on the Effective Date in “source code” format.

Maintenance. As the original developer of the Software, for a period of no less than twelve

(12) months from the date hereof FW shall perform all required Maintenance to the Software free of charge to Finfora. “Maintenance” means any and all updates, bug fixes, error corrections, and changes to the Software as is required to keep the Software functional within the parameters of FW’s existing use in accordance with and subject to the FW License. Any and all enhancements, changes, new versions, new releases, new features, upgrades, functionality changes and improvements to the Software shall be the sole responsibility of Finfora, including enhancements necessary to convert the Software into a “white label” SAAS offering as contemplated by Finfora. FW DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE MAINTENANCE WILL BE PERFORMED ERROR, FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT FW WILL CORRECT ALL ERRORS. FINFORA ACKNOWLEDGES THAT FW DOES NOT CONTROL THE TRANSFER OF DATA OVER COMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES, INCLUDING THE INTERNET, AND THAT MAINTENANCE MAY BE SUBJECT TO LIMITATIONS, DELAYS, AND OTHER PROBLEMS INHERENT IN THE USE OF SUCH COMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES. FW IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DELAYS, DELIVERY FAILURES, OR OTHER DAMAGE RESULTING FROM SUCH PROBLEMS.

"Confidential Information" as used in this Agreement shall include, without limitation, (a) the Software in Source Code format and any related Source Code documentation and (b) any information identified by a Party as confidential or which by its nature the Receiving Party would reasonably recognize to be confidential or proprietary in nature.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Confidential Information” shall not include any information which: (i) is publicly disclosed by the Disclosing Party, either before or after it becomes known to the Receiving Party; (ii) was known to the Receiving Party or any of its affiliates, without obligation to keep it confidential, prior to when it was received from the Disclosing Party; (iii) is subsequently disclosed to the Receiving Party or any of its affiliates by a third party lawfully in possession thereof without obligation to keep it confidential; (iv) has been published by a third party or otherwise becomes publicly available through no fault of the Receiving Party or any of its affiliates in breach of this Agreement; or (v) has been independently developed by the Receiving Party or any of its affiliates without the aid, application or use of Confidential Information, as demonstrated by the Receiving Party.

8.2

Non-Disclosure Obligations. Receiving Party agrees: to use commercially reasonable efforts to protect the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party from unauthorized use or disclosure and to use at least the same degree of care with regard thereto as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information of a like nature; to use and reproduce the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information only as permitted under this Agreement or as needed to perform its duties hereunder; and not to disclose or permit access to the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information to any third party, without the Disclosing Party's prior written consent.

8.3

Notwithstanding Section 8.2 hereof, each Party shall be entitled to disclose Confidential Information of the other Party, solely to the extent required, as follows: (a) as required by any court or other governmental body; (b) as otherwise required by applicable law or rules of a securities exchange; or (c) to the Receiving Party's affiliates, employees, consultants, contractors and advisors who "need to know" such Confidential Information in connection with performing Receiving Party's obligations or exercising Receiving Party's rights under this Agreement, provided that such affiliates, employees, consultants, contractors or advisors are bound by agreements to protect the Confidential Information as required by this Section 8 and Receiving Party shall remain responsible for any unauthorized disclosure, possession or use or failure of the foregoing parties to treat such Confidential Information as required by this Section 8; provided further that prior to any disclosure pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of this Section 8.3, the Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party of the Receiving Party's intent to make such disclosure so as to allow the Disclosing Party adequate time to take whatever action the Disclosing Party may deem to be appropriate to protect the confidentiality of the information and, at the Disclosing Party's request and expense, disclose no more

Confidential Information than is so required and fully cooperate with the Disclosing Party's attempts to seek to obtain assurances that the Confidential Information disclosed shall be accorded confidential treatment. Finfora may also disclose Confidential Information to licensees of the Software on a “need to know” basis provided that Finfora includes in its agreements with licensees contractual provisions whereby licensees agree to comply with provisions of confidentiality as restrictive as this Section 8.

8.4

Terms of Agreement. Neither Party will disclose the terms of this Agreement to any third party without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that either Party may disclose the terms of this Agreement to its employees, consultants, existing and potential investors, acquirers and lenders, the professional and legal advisers of any of the foregoing and its professional and legal advisers (collectively, “Representatives”), which Representatives have a “need-to-know” for the purposes of evaluating, negotiating or documenting a contemplated investment, loan or acquisition; provided, however, that each such Representative is bound by a written agreement (or in the case of attorneys or other professional advisors, ethical duties) requiring such Representative to protect the terms of this Agreement with the same degree of care as provided herein for Confidential Information.

Limitation of Liability. THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION IN THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT FOR (A) EITHER PARTY'S BREACH OF SECTION 8 (CONFIDENTIALITY), NEITHER PARTY NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR (1) DAMAGES IN THE FORM OF CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS), INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

10.

Indemnification. FW shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Finfora, its affiliates and their officers, directors, members, managers, employees and agents against any and all losses, liabilities, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and expert's fees and court costs) and costs arising from any third party claim, action, or proceeding (“Claim”) brought against Finfora or any of its affiliates or licensees that arises out of or relates to any claim that the exercise of rights in or to the Software granted in this Agreement infringes on or otherwise violates any Intellectual Property Rights or other right of a third party. Finfora will: (a) promptly notify FW of such Claim; (b) tender to FW the sole and exclusive authority to defend and/or settle any such Claim; provided that FW will not settle or otherwise finally dispose of any Claim without Finfora's prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and/or (c) reasonably cooperate with FW in connection with such Claim. FW shall have no liability or obligation under this Section 10 with respect to any Claim if such Claim is caused in whole or in part by (x) modification of the Software by any party other than FW, to the extent that such Claim would not have arisen but for such modification; or (y) the combination, operation, or use of the Software with other applications, portions of applications, product(s), data or services where the Software, as applicable, would not by itself be infringing.
