WHEREAS, the Company, Subsidiary #1, and Subsidiary #2 (collectively, the “Incubatees”) acknowledge and expressly consent to participation in the Incubation program under the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. INCUBATION AND MENTORING SUPPORT
1.1.Scope of Incubation and Mentoring. The Incubatees shall receive incubation and mentoring support in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any additional provisions as may be determined by the Parent Corporation from time to time. Support will be provided in the following areas:
a)Business Mentoring: The Parent Corporation, along with its network of investors, investment bankers, senior corporate executives, and industry experts, shall provide strategic guidance on various business fundamentals, including scaling operations, identifying suppliers, selecting appropriate business locations, optimizing product pricing, marketing strategies, and establishing efficient business processes.
b)Intellectual Property Rights Strategy: The Parent Corporation shall advise the Incubatees on intellectual property rights (“IPR”) strategies aligned with broader business objectives, safeguarding proprietary innovations and ensuring compliance with relevant domestic and international intellectual property laws.
c)Industry Introductions and Support Services. The Parent Corporation may facilitate introductions to specialized professionals, including attorneys, accountants, marketers, human resource specialists, and other experts to assist in structuring and positioning the Incubatees' businesses for a successful Incubation. However, the Parent Corporation shall bear no liability for the quality of services provided, costs incurred, or any disputes arising from engagements with third-party service providers.
d)Visibility and Promotional Support: The Parent Corporation may enhance visibility of the Incubatees by showcasing their businesses across its official websites, social media platforms, marketing materials, and promotional channels. Additionally, the Parent Corporation may support further
Incubation Operating AgreementPage 2 of 18
AI UltraProd, Inc.
exposure through participation in industry events, seminars, and conferences organized by investment bankers and corporate promoters.
e)Monitoring and Review. The Parent Corporation may periodically review and monitor the progress of the Incubatees and provide strategic recommendations to support their growth. Incubatees are encouraged to carefully evaluate and consider the advice offered within the scope of this Agreement.
1.2.Limitations and Liability. Notwithstanding any provisions within this Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed by the Incubatees that the Parent Corporation serves primarily as a facilitator and platform provider for the Incubation. The Parent Corporation shall endeavor to meet its objectives on a commercially reasonable best-efforts basis.
The ultimate success of the Incubation shall depend on various factors, including but not limited to, the diligence and execution ability of the Incubatees’ management team, the strength of their underlying business models, the viability of their products and technologies, and general market conditions. Failure to achieve growth, secure external investments, develop marketable products, or generate sufficient revenue to qualify for an independent NASDAQ listing shall not impose any liability on the Parent Corporation, its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, business partners, advisors, or any third parties engaged by the Parent Corporation in furtherance to effect the Incubation.
1.3.Collaboration to Acquire Remaining Minority Interest in Subsidiary #2. The Parent Corporation, the Company, and Subsidiary #1 mutually acknowledge their shared objective of acquiring the remaining equity interests in Subsidiary #2 not currently owned by them, which represents approximately ten percent (10%) of the outstanding equity of Subsidiary #2 (“Minority Interest”). All parties covenant to cooperate in good faith, assist with negotiations, and take such reasonable actions as may be necessary or desirable to facilitate the acquisition of the Minority Interest in a timely and coordinated manner.
The preferred acquisition method shall mirror, in substance and form, the structure and transaction style employed in the Acquisition and Stock Purchase Agreement dated June 23, 2025. Specifically, the parties intend that Subsidiary #1 will offer shares of the Parent Corporation’s Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, as consideration to acquire the Minority Interest from the minority equity holders of Subsidiary #2.
For the avoidance of doubt, none of the expenses incurred, equity securities issued by the Parent Corporation, or payments made by any party in connection with the acquisition of the Minority Interest pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall be deemed or credited as “Capital Contributions” or “Additional Capital Contributions” for purposes of Section 4 of this Agreement.
2. BOARD OF DIRECTORS, MANAGEMENT, OVERSIGHT, AND FINANCIAL REPORTING DURING THE INCUBATION
2.1.Parent Corporation’s Representation on the Company’s Board of Directors. During the Incubation period, the governance structure of the Company shall be managed by a Board of Directors consisting of a maximum of three (3) members. The Parent Corporation shall appoint one (1) representative to serve on the Board, while the Incubatees shall designate the remaining two (2) seats.
Incubation Operating AgreementPage 3 of 18
AI UltraProd, Inc.
2.2.Management and Control. The Company and the Incubatees shall retain operational independence from the Parent Corporation and shall conduct business autonomously, while benefiting from mentorship and strategic guidance provided under Section 1.
The Company’s Board of Directors shall retain the exclusive authority to nominate, approve, and amend executive appointments, including the selection or removal of officers and directors for both the Company and its affiliated Incubatees during the Incubation period. Any such decisions shall be made in compliance with applicable corporate governance protocols and in alignment with the Company’s strategic vision and long-term objectives.
2.3.Oversight During Incubation.
The Company’s Board of Directors shall serve as the principal governing body responsible for oversight, strategic direction, and final decision-making authority regarding all aspects of the Company’s and the Incubatees’ business operations. These responsibilities shall include, but are not limited to:
a)Corporate Governance & Compliance: Ensuring adherence to applicable U.S., European, and Asian corporate laws, securities regulations, and industry compliance standards.
b)Financial Oversight & Capital Allocation: Approving capital investments, budgetary expenditures, funding distributions, and securing external financing as required for business expansion and growth.
c)Operational Strategy & Business Execution: Evaluating market opportunities, approving critical business initiatives, and overseeing day-to-day operational execution to drive efficiency and sustainable growth.
d)Risk Management & Liability Protection: Identifying and mitigating potential risks, including regulatory, financial, operational, and reputational risks, to safeguard the long-term viability of the business.
While the Parent Corporation may provide recommendations and mentorship, its role shall remain advisory, and all operational, financial, and strategic decisions shall be made solely by the Company’s Board of Directors.
2.4.Financial Reports and Regulatory Reporting Requirements. During the Incubation period, the Company and the Incubatees acknowledge and agree that they are subject to the same regulatory oversight and reporting obligations imposed by the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) as the Parent Corporation. Accordingly, the Company and the Incubatees shall ensure full compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements, including but not limited to financial reporting obligations, securities disclosures, and governance standards.
To maintain transparency and regulatory adherence, the Company and the Incubatees shall maintain financial records in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”), ensuring accuracy, completeness, and timely reconciliation of all financial transactions.
All financial records must be updated daily to reflect current operational and investment activities. Additionally, the Company and the Incubatees shall:

c)Provide the Parent Corporation with continuous online access to the Company’s and Incubatees’ financial reporting systems for real-time monitoring and review.
The Company and the Incubatees shall ensure that all regulatory filings and disclosures are completed in strict accordance with applicable laws and submission deadlines to mitigate any risk of non-compliance or penalties.
3. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNERSHIP
3.1.Existing and Licensed Intellectual Property. All intellectual property rights, including any patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and related materials that are currently in existence or are licensed to any party prior to or independently of this Agreement (collectively, “Existing IP”), shall remain the sole property of their respective owners or licensors. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to transfer, assign, or otherwise affect the ownership of any Existing IP.
3.2.Ownership of Newly Developed Intellectual Property. Any intellectual property developed, created, or conceived solely or jointly during the Incubation period (“Newly Developed IP”) shall be owned by its respective developer. For the purposes of this Agreement, “developer” refers to the party—whether the Parent Corporation, the Company, or the Incubatees—that is responsible for the creation or development of such intellectual property. Each party shall retain full ownership rights in and to its Newly Developed IP, subject to any additional agreements or arrangements between the parties that may be executed in writing.
3.3.De Facto License for Intellectual Property Post-Incubation. Upon the completion of the Incubation or upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, the Parent Corporation shall be granted, on a de facto basis, a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use any Newly Developed IP that was developed pursuant to this Agreement. This license shall be valid for a minimum period of five (5) years from the date of completion of the Incubation or termination of the Agreement and shall encompass all the rights necessary to allow the Parent Corporation to exploit such intellectual property for its business purposes. This de facto license shall be granted without the need for additional consideration or execution of further documentation, although the parties may mutually agree to document the terms of such license in a separate agreement.
4. CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND FUNDING
4.1.Capital Contributions. During the Incubation period, the Parent Corporation shall contribute an aggregate minimum of ten million U.S. dollars (US$10,000,000) to the Company and Incubatees. Such contributions may be made in cash and/or through debt or equity securities issued by the Parent Corporation (“Capital Contributions”). Disbursements shall be made in a series of tranches, as detailed in Exhibit A attached hereto, and shall be subject to applicable conditions, including the fulfillment of representations,
Incubation Operating AgreementPage 5 of 18
AI UltraProd, Inc.
warranties, and any other terms set forth in this Agreement and in Exhibit A. The parties agree to maintain comprehensive and precise documentation and confirmation for each tranche to ensure transparency and enforceability.
For purposes of this Agreement, the Capital Contributions specified in subsections E, F, and G of Exhibit A are contingent upon the Company and the Incubatees meeting specific performance milestones. These milestones are determined using a Trailing Twelve-Month (“TTM”) lookback methodology. For clarity, TTM is defined as the sum of the unaudited monthly consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP), covering the most recent twelve consecutive months. For example, if the measurement period concludes on May 31, 2025, then the TTM period would encompass the results from June 1, 2024, through May 31, 2025.
This TTM calculation shall serve as the basis for determining whether the Incubatees have met the relevant milestones—whether measured by consolidated gross revenue or consolidated net income—as specified in Exhibit A. Once a milestone is confirmed based on these TTM metrics, the Parent Corporation shall disburse the corresponding Capital Contribution to the Company and/or Incubatees within two (2) weeks.
4.2.Non-Dilutive Net Ownership. In consideration of the Capital Contributions, the Parent Corporation shall be entitled to retain a minimum non-dilutive nineteen percent (19%) equity interest in the Company upon completion of the Incubation, or upon termination of this Agreement, whichever occurs first. This non-dilutive provision guarantees that subsequent equity issuances or other transactions by the Company or Incubatees shall not reduce the Parent Corporation's minimum proportional ownership interest. The parties shall take all necessary actions, including adjustments in the capitalization records and issuance of appropriate certificates or other evidence, to preserve the Parent Corporation’s minimum net ownership interest as provided herein.
4.3.Additional Capital Contributions. At its sole discretion, the Parent Corporation may elect to provide additional capital and financial support to the Company and/or Incubatees during the Incubation period in the form of additional cash, debt, or equity securities (collectively, “Additional Capital Contributions”). Any such Additional Capital Contributions shall be undertaken only after obtaining the mutual written consent of all parties and shall be subject to the following terms, among others that may be mutually agreed upon:
a)Enhanced oversight and reporting: The Parent Corporation may require augmented monitoring and oversight regarding the deployment of any Additional Capital Contributions.
b)Adjustment of Non-Dilutive Ownership: In the event of Additional Capital Contributions, the parties shall execute a written agreement specifying that such contributions will result in an increase or adjustment of the Parent Corporation’s non-dilutive net ownership interest in the Company. Any such adjustment shall be effected in a manner that preserves the intended non-dilutive benefit, and, at the Parent Corporation’s discretion, any incremental ownership interests may be assigned to a third party.
All terms, rights, and obligations related to Additional Capital Contributions shall be documented in a formal amendment or addendum to this Agreement in addition to any separate agreement or agreements as may be required.

5.4.Restrictions and No Encumbrances. During the term of this Agreement, all securities held by the Escrow Agent in safekeeping shall be classified as restricted securities.

6. EXIT AND SPIN-OFF TERMS
6.1.Purpose and Spin-Off Objective. The primary purpose of this Agreement is to facilitate the objective of spinning-off of the Company onto the NASDAQ stock exchange as an independent public company. To achieve this objective, the Company must meet and exceed all applicable minimum initial NASDAQ listing requirements by the conclusion of the Incubation period.
6.2.Projected Equity Structure After Spin-Off: Following the anticipated spin-off of the Company as an independent publicly traded entity on the NASDAQ, it is currently projected—based on the capital structure, capitalization table, and ownership interests in effect as of the Effective Date—that the Company’s post-spin-off equity ownership will be allocated as follows:
Shareholder Name or Group |
| Percentage of Ownership (%) |
|
|
|
Public Float (Minimum 400 Shareholders) |
| 16% |
SecureTech Innovations, Inc. |
| 19% |
AIUP Holding Limited |
| 65% |
|
| 100% |
Disclaimer: This equity allocation table represents a projected ownership breakdown only. It is based on numerous forward-looking factors and assumptions that, as of the Effective Date, remain unknown, uncertain, and subject to material change. Accordingly, all parties expressly acknowledge and agree that actual ownership percentages may vary materially at the time of the Company’s spin-off onto the NASDAQ, due to capital structure changes, regulatory requirements, securities offerings, recapitalization events, or other unforeseen developments
6.3.Incubation Period and Performance Milestones. The Incubation period is anticipated to last between twenty-four (24) and thirty-six (36) months. During this time, the Company, with the benefit of guidance
Incubation Operating AgreementPage 8 of 18
AI UltraProd, Inc.
and financial support from the Parent Corporation, shall execute its business strategy to reach the minimum performance milestones required for an independent public listing on NASDAQ.
6.4.No Guarantee of NASDAQ Listing. Notwithstanding the best efforts and intentions of all parties during the Incubation period, it is fully understood and agreed that there are no guarantees that the Company will ultimately qualify for an independent NASDAQ listing. Achieving compliance with all listing requirements is subject to numerous factors, including market conditions, regulatory changes, and the overall performance of the Company, which may be beyond the control of the parties.
6.5.Exit Clause and No Spin-Off Earnout. In the event that, at any time during or upon completion of the Incubation period, all parties to this Agreement unanimously decide and approve in writing to forgo the NASDAQ spin-off, the following shall apply:
a)Subsidiary Status Maintained: The Company and the Incubatees shall continue to operate as wholly owned or controlled subsidiaries of the Parent Corporation, and no steps shall be taken to list the Company as a public entity independent of the Parent Corporation.
b)Winding Down of Escrow: The escrow arrangements set forth in Section 5 shall be promptly and formally wound down in accordance with Section 5.7. All restrictions previously imposed on any equity securities shall be removed, and all original paper share certificates held in escrow shall be returned to their rightful owners.
c)Survival of Capital Contribution Obligations: The Parent Corporation’s obligation to make Capital Contributions under Section 4.1 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect until the Company has received no less than ten million U.S. dollars (US$10,000,000) in aggregate Capital Contributions.
6.6.Amendment of Exit Provisions. Any modifications to the spin-off strategy or the exit provisions outlined in this Section shall require the unanimous written consent of all parties to this Agreement.
7. NON-DILUTION COVENANT
7.1.Restriction on Dilutive Issuances. For the duration of this Agreement and throughout the Incubation period, the Company and the Incubatees, including their respective Boards of Directors, shall not issue any equity securities, convertible debt securities, or any other financial instruments—including derivatives or exotic securities—that could result in an increase in the outstanding equity of the Company or the Incubatees, thereby diluting the Parent Corporation’s equity stake, unless such issuance is expressly authorized in writing by the Parent Corporation.
7.2.Sole Discretion of the Parent Corporation. Any waiver of the non-dilution restriction or authorization for the issuance of securities that might otherwise be dilutive shall be solely within the discretion of the Parent Corporation. No approval, consent, or request from any other party to this Agreement shall be required for such authorizations. If the Parent Corporation elects to authorize a potentially dilutive issuance, it shall do so in writing, specifying the terms, conditions, and any adjustments to the equity structure as applicable.
Incubation Operating AgreementPage 9 of 18
AI UltraProd, Inc.
7.3.Binding Compliance and Remedies. The Company and the Incubatees acknowledge that this non-dilution covenant is a material term of this Agreement. Any issuance of securities or financial instruments in violation of this Section shall be null and void and may subject the Company and the Incubatees to any legal or equitable remedies available to the Parent Corporation, including injunctive relief and specific performance.
7.4.Survival. This Section shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement and remain in effect as long as the Parent Corporation holds any equity interest in the Company or Incubatees.
8. TERM AND TERMINATION
8.1.Term. This Agreement shall remain in effect until one of the following events occurs:
a)The Company qualifies for an independent NASDAQ listing on its own merits, as required in Section 6.1; or

8.2.Termination for Non-Qualification or Withdrawal; Breakup Fee. This Agreement may be terminated and rescinded if either of the following events occurs:
a)Non-Qualification: The Company fails to qualify for an independent NASDAQ listing within a period of thirty-six (36) months from the effective date of this Agreement, unless the parties unanimously agree in writing to extend the qualification period. Such failure to qualify shall be determined based on the criteria set forth in Section 6.1 and the applicable performance metrics; or
b)Voluntary Withdrawal: The Company and the Incubatees, by unanimous written consent, determine that they no longer wish to continue as parties to this Agreement.
Prior to the effective termination under this Section 8.2, the following conditions shall apply:

For clarity, “actual Capital Contributions” include every disbursement provided under this Agreement that has been received by the Company and the Incubatees.
b)Security for Unpaid Breakup Fee: Until the Breakup Fee is paid in full, the Parent Corporation shall have the right to secure its interest by encumbering and placing liens on all assets of the Company and the Incubatees. Such encumbrance and lien rights shall serve as security for any unpaid Breakup Fee and may be enforced in accordance with applicable law.
c)Procedure for Termination: Termination under this Section shall become effective only after:

Incubation Operating AgreementPage 10 of 18
AI UltraProd, Inc.
ii)The Company and the Incubatees have provided written notice of their intent to terminate pursuant to this Section; and
iii)The Breakup Fee has been fully satisfied or adequately secured as provided above.

c)Termination shall not affect any accrued rights, liabilities, or confidentiality obligations of any party as of the effective date of termination.
8.4.Additional Termination Provisions. Any termination under this Section shall be executed in accordance with the notice and documentation requirements set forth in this Agreement, ensuring that all parties are fully informed and in agreement regarding the termination and its consequences.
9. INDEMNIFICATION
9.1.Mutual Indemnification. Each party (“Indemnitor”) agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless every other party (“Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses—including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, which mean actual attorneys’ fees, court costs, and other expenses incurred in connection with any action or proceeding arising directly or indirectly from:

9.4.Survival. The indemnification obligations contained in this Section shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for a period of three (3) years and shall remain in full force and effect with respect to any claims arising from acts or omissions occurring prior to such termination

EXHIBIT A
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND FUNDING MILESTONES
Dated June 23, 2025
The Parent Corporation agrees to provide the Company and Incubatees with Capital Contributions in accordance with the following scheduled tranches, each contingent upon achieving the specified milestones:
A)Capital Contributions: Capital Contributions shall consist exclusively of cash and/or debt or equity securities issued by the Parent Corporation. Any indebtedness or equity issuances by the Company and/or Incubatees—even if unanimously agreed upon—shall not be deemed Capital Contributions and shall not count toward the minimum amount required under this Agreement. All Capital Contributions must be derived from lawful sources and comply with all applicable international Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws, rules, and regulations.
B)Parent Corporation Equity Offering: The Parent Corporation shall file a Registration Statement with the SEC in July 2025. Once the SEC approves and declares such Registration Statement “effective,” the Parent Corporation will conduct a general offering by selling up to ten million U.S. dollars (US$10,000,000) of its equity securities.
C)$3 Million Initial Cash Tranche: Within ninety (90) days following the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Parent Corporation shall deliver an initial cash tranche of three million U.S. dollars (US$3,000,000) to the Company and Incubatees. This tranche may be disbursed in smaller increments during this period at the Parent Corporation’s discretion, enabling flexibility to source funds from additional private, non-SEC-approved investors or revenue streams, provided that all disbursements adhere to the terms of this Agreement.
D)Acquisition Assistance. Commencing in July 2025, while the SEC reviews the aforementioned Registration Statement, the Parent Corporation will assist the Company and Incubatees in pursuing and closing pending acquisitions. To expedite such transactions, the Parent Corporation may utilize unregistered debt and equity securities, as well as non-equity financing from active institutional and private M&A lenders. Any debt or equity securities issued, or any traditional or alternative indebtedness incurred or assumed in connection with these acquisitions, shall be credited toward the Parent Corporation’s minimum Capital Contributions.
In the event that the combination of the Initial Cash Tranche and Acquisition Assistance satisfies or exceeds the minimum Capital Contributions required under Section 4 of this Agreement, any subsequent cash disbursements shall be considered Additional Capital Contributions, provided solely at the Parent Corporation’s discretion.
E)$2 Million Follow-On Cash Tranche (Revenue Milestone): Upon the Company achieving a minimum Trailing Twelve-Month (“TTM”) consolidated gross revenue of ten million U.S. dollars (US$10,000,000), the Parent Corporation shall disburse a follow-on cash tranche of two million U.S. dollars (US$2,000,000) to the Company and Incubatees.

F)$2 Million Follow-On Cash Tranche (Profitability Milestone): Upon the Company achieving a TTM minimum consolidated net profit of one million U.S. dollars (US$1,000,000), the Parent Corporation shall disburse a follow-on cash tranche of two million U.S. dollars (US$2,000,000) to the Company and Incubatees.
G)$3 Million Follow-On Cash Tranche (Advanced Revenue Milestone): Upon the Company achieving a minimum TTM consolidated gross revenue of twenty-five million U.S. dollars (US$25,000,000), the Parent Corporation shall disburse a follow-on cash tranche of three million U.S. dollars (US$3,000,000) to the Company and Incubatees.
