WHEREAS, Assignee desires to acquire all right, title, and interest of Assignor in and to the Notes and the Outstanding Obligations, and Assignor desires to assign, transfer, and convey the same to Assignee, in each case upon the terms and conditions set forth herein;
WHEREAS, following the assignment of the Notes and the Outstanding Obligations to Assignee, Assignee desires to convert and surrender the Notes and all amounts owing thereunder in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of UPAY, Inc. common stock, and UPAY agrees to issue such shares to Assignee as full and complete consideration for the conversion, satisfaction, discharge, and cancellation of the Notes and the Outstanding Obligations;
WHEREAS, Assignor acknowledges receipt of separate consideration from Assignee for the assignment of the Notes and the Assigned Rights, the terms of which are solely between Assignor and Assignee, and UPAY has no obligation or liability in respect thereof;

WHEREAS, the Conversion Shares are being issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in reliance upon the exemptions from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and the Conversion Shares will accordingly constitute "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
** **
| **1. ** | Assignment and Conversion. |
** **
The Recitals set forth above are true and correct in all material respects and are incorporated into this Assignment by this reference. In the event of any conflict between the Recitals and Exhibit A, Exhibit A shall control; in the event of any conflict between the Recitals and Sections 1 through 19 of this Assignment, such Sections shall control. Effective as of the Closing, Assignor hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers, conveys, and delivers to Assignee all of Assignor's right, title, and interest in and to the Notes, including all amounts due and owing thereunder, all Outstanding Obligations, all rights to payment of principal and accrued interest (whether accruing before or after the Effective Date), and all other rights and remedies of Assignor as lender or payee thereunder (collectively, the "Assigned Rights").
| Page 2 of 12 |
In consideration of Assignee's agreement to convert, surrender, and cancel the Notes and all Outstanding Obligations, UPAY hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to issue and deliver to Assignee 1,000,000 shares of UPAY common stock (the "Conversion Shares") no later than ten (10) business days following the Closing Date. UPAY's obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares is a direct and primary obligation of UPAY and shall not be subject to any offset, defense, or condition. UPAY shall instruct its transfer agent to issue and register the Conversion Shares in the name of Assignee within such ten-business-day period and shall promptly provide Assignee with written confirmation of the issuance. If, between the Effective Date and the date the Conversion Shares are issued, the outstanding shares of UPAY common stock are changed into a different number of shares by reason of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, or similar transaction, the number of Conversion Shares shall be proportionately adjusted so that Assignee receives the same proportionate equity interest in UPAY that Assignee would have received had such event not occurred.
**Closing. **The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Assignment (the "Closing") shall take place remotely by exchange of electronic signatures and documents on the date on which the last of the conditions set forth in Section 13 has been satisfied or waived, or on such other date as the parties may agree in writing (the "Closing Date"). At the Closing: (i) Assignor shall deliver to Assignee each original Note, endorsed to Assignee or accompanied by an executed allonge or separate instrument of assignment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Assignee and UPAY; and (ii) UPAY shall deliver to Assignee a certified copy of the resolutions described in Section 12 and an irrevocable instruction letter to its transfer agent directing issuance of the Conversion Shares.

| **5. ** | Satisfaction, Discharge, and Cancellation of Notes Upon Issuance of Shares. |
** **
| (a) | Full Satisfaction. The parties acknowledge and agree that the issuance and delivery by UPAY of the Conversion Shares (the 1,000,000 shares of UPAY, Inc. common stock) to Assignee in accordance with Section 1 constitutes full, final, and complete payment and satisfaction of all of the Notes and the Outstanding Obligations. Notwithstanding Section 4 or any other provision of this Assignment to the contrary, effective automatically and without the need for any further action upon UPAY's issuance and delivery of the Conversion Shares to Assignee and written confirmation thereof from UPAY's transfer agent, each of the Notes and all Outstanding Obligations shall be, and shall be deemed to be, paid in full, fully satisfied, discharged, cancelled, terminated, and forever forgiven. |

| (b) | No Further Liability. From and after such issuance and delivery, no obligor, maker, or other person liable under any of the Notes shall have any further obligation or liability for payment of any principal, interest, fee, or other amount under or in connection with the Notes, and the Notes shall be of no further force or effect. |
| (c) | Release and Covenant Not to Collect. Effective upon such issuance and delivery, each of Assignor and Assignee, on behalf of itself and its respective heirs, successors, assigns, transferees, and representatives, irrevocably and unconditionally releases, waives, and forever discharges UPAY and each other obligor under the Notes from any and all claims, demands, debts, obligations, liabilities, causes of action, and rights to payment of any kind, whether known or unknown, arising under or in connection with the Notes or the Outstanding Obligations, and covenants and agrees that neither Assignor nor Assignee shall, directly or indirectly, assert, commence, maintain, or seek to collect upon any claim or demand for payment of principal, interest, or any other amount under any of the Notes.

| (d) | Surrender and Cancellation. Promptly following such issuance and delivery, Assignee (or, to the extent Assignor then retains physical possession of any original Note, Assignor) shall mark each original Note "CANCELLED - PAID IN FULL" and surrender the originals to UPAY (or deliver a lost-instrument affidavit in lieu thereof) and shall execute and deliver such additional instruments of satisfaction, discharge, or release as UPAY may reasonably request to evidence the cancellation contemplated by this Section. |
| (e) | Condition; Survival Pending Issuance.

Until such issuance and delivery have occurred, the Notes and the Outstanding Obligations shall remain in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with their terms and this Assignment, and nothing in this Section shall limit Assignee's rights or remedies in the event UPAY fails to issue and deliver such shares. This Section shall survive the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Assignment. |

** **
Assignee represents and warrants to UPAY and to Assignor as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date that: (a) Assignee is acquiring the Notes and the Assigned Rights, and will acquire the Conversion Shares, for Assignee's own account, for investment purposes only, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act; (b) Assignee is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the transactions contemplated hereby; (c) Assignee is a director of UPAY and is therefore an "affiliate" of UPAY within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and Assignee acknowledges that any resale of the Conversion Shares will be subject to the current public information, holding period, volume limitation, manner of sale, and Form 144 notice requirements of Rule 144 applicable to affiliates, or to another available exemption from registration; (d) Assignee acknowledges that the Conversion Shares are "restricted securities," that they have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities law, that they may not be resold absent registration or an available exemption, and that UPAY has granted no registration rights with respect to the Conversion Shares; (e) Assignee acknowledges that the holding period applicable to the Conversion Shares under Rule 144(d) will be determined by reference to Rule 144(d)(3)(ii) and to the date on which Assignee acquired the Notes, and that no party has made any representation to Assignee as to when, whether, or in what volume the Conversion Shares may be resold; (f) Assignee has had access to, and an adequate opportunity to review, UPAY's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and such other information concerning UPAY as Assignee has deemed necessary, and has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from UPAY's management; (g) Assignee has not relied upon Assignor, UPAY, or any of their respective officers, directors, members, employees, agents, or counsel for any legal, tax, accounting, or investment advice in connection with this Assignment, and has consulted such advisors as Assignee has deemed appropriate; (h) Assignee acknowledges that the Conversion Shares are being acquired at an effective price per share that may differ materially from the quoted market price of UPAY's common stock, that the quoted market price may not reflect fair value given the limited trading volume in such stock, and that Assignee has independently evaluated the fairness of the exchange contemplated by Section 1; and (i) no broker, finder, or investment banker is entitled to any fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Assignee.
| **11. ** | Securities Law Matters; Legend. |
** **
**(a) Exemption. **The Conversion Shares are being issued in reliance upon the exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D thereunder, and upon comparable exemptions under applicable state securities laws. Each party shall furnish such information as is reasonably necessary to establish the availability of such exemptions.
| Page 6 of 12 |
**(b) Legend. **Each certificate or book-entry position representing the Conversion Shares shall bear a legend substantially in the following form until such legend is no longer required under Section 11(c):
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION. THE HOLDER HEREOF IS AN AFFILIATE OF THE ISSUER, AND TRANSFER OF THESE SECURITIES IS FURTHER RESTRICTED BY RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT."
**(c) Legend Removal. **Upon Assignee's written request delivered at any time after the applicable conditions of Rule 144 have been satisfied, and upon delivery by Assignee of such customary seller's and broker's representations as UPAY's transfer agent may reasonably require, UPAY shall, at its sole expense and within five (5) business days, cause its counsel to deliver a legal opinion to the transfer agent and shall instruct the transfer agent to remove the restrictive legend to the extent then permitted by law. Nothing in this Section shall obligate UPAY to register the Conversion Shares under the Securities Act, to file any registration statement, or to take any action that would cause the Conversion Shares to be transferable other than in accordance with Rule 144 or another available exemption.
**(d) Current Public Information. **For so long as Assignee holds Conversion Shares bearing the legend described in Section 11(b), UPAY shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remain current in its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act so as to satisfy the current public information requirement of Rule 144(c).
**(e) Required Filings. **UPAY shall timely file any Form D required by Regulation D and any Current Report on Form 8-K required by Item 3.02 of Form 8-K with respect to the issuance of the Conversion Shares, and shall include such disclosure regarding this Assignment as is required by Item 404 of Regulation S-K in its next Annual Report on Form 10-K.
| **12. ** | Board Approval; Related-Party Transaction. |
** **
The parties acknowledge that Assignee is a director of UPAY and that this Assignment constitutes a transaction with an interested director within the meaning of Section 78.140 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. UPAY represents and warrants that, prior to the Effective Date: (a) the material facts as to Assignee's relationship to UPAY and as to Assignee's interest in the transactions contemplated by this Assignment were disclosed to and known by UPAY's Board of Directors; (b) this Assignment and the issuance of the Conversion Shares were authorized, approved, and ratified in good faith by the vote of a majority of the directors of UPAY, without the participation or vote of Assignee; and (c) the disinterested directors determined that the exchange of the Outstanding Obligations for the Conversion Shares is fair to UPAY and its stockholders as of the time the transaction was authorized.
