Usio and IMS are referred to in this Warrant Agreement collectively as the “Parties” and singularly as a “Party.”

Preamble

WHEREAS, Usio, PDS Acquisition Corp, a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Usio (“Purchaser”), and IMS and its owners have entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated of even date herewith (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”);

WHEREAS, as consideration between the Parties for entering into the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Parties hereby enter into this Warrant Agreement, providing, among other things, that IMS shall be entitled to receive warrants to acquire shares (“Shares”) of common stock of Usio, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), pursuant to the terms and conditions provided herein (all such warrants being referred to herein as the “Warrants”); and

WHEREAS, this Warrant Agreement sets forth the agreement of the Parties with respect to the Warrants.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above and the mutual warranties, representations, covenants, and agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

WARRANTS

1.1. Issuance of Warrants. In consideration of IMS entering into the Asset Purchase Agreement and selling certain assets to Purchaser, on the Effective Date (the “Issue Date”), Usio will issue to IMS Warrants representing the right to acquire 945,599 Shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Article 2 hereof. Usio will deliver to IMS the Warrant Certificates representing such Warrants in substantially the form as attached hereto as Exhibit A (each a “Warrant Certificate”).

1.2. Vesting. The Warrants will vest as follows (each a “Vesting Date”):

(i) Warrants to purchase 315,200 Shares vest on the first anniversary of the Issue Date;

(ii) Warrants to purchase 315,200 Shares vest on the second anniversary of the Issue Date; and

(iii) Warrants to purchase 315,199 Shares vest on the third anniversary of the Issue Date.

1.3 Exercise Price. The initial Exercise Price for the Shares issuable pursuant to this Warrant is $4.23 per Share (the “Exercise Price”); provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Article 2 hereof, the rights granted by this Warrant, including the Exercise Price per Share and the number of Shares to be received upon such exercise, shall be adjusted as therein specified. The term “Exercise Price” shall mean the initial exercise price or the adjusted exercise price, depending on the context.

1.4 Execution of Warrant Certificates. Warrant Certificates may be signed on behalf of Usio by any officer or person authorized by Usio.

1.6 Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates. If any Warrant Certificates are mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, Usio shall, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of such Warrant Certificate, issue a new Warrant Certificate representing an equivalent number of Warrants, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft, or destruction reasonably satisfactory to Usio or, if requested by Usio, upon receipt of a duly executed indemnification agreement reasonably satisfactory to Usio.

1.7 Manner of Exercise of Warrants. Subject to the provisions of this Warrant Agreement, IMS shall have the right to purchase from Usio at the Exercise Price, and Usio shall issue and sell to IMS, the number of Shares of Common Stock represented by each Warrant exercised, upon surrender to Usio at its principal office of the Warrant Certificate representing such Warrant, together with a Form of Warrant Subscription in substantially the form of Exhibit B attached hereto, completed and signed, and upon payment to Usio of the Exercise Price in lawful money of the United States of America. Any exercise of a Warrant shall be irrevocable.

1.8 Cashless Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash pursuant to Section 1.7 above, IMS may elect to receive the number of Shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised), by surrender of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) to Usio, together with the exercise form attached hereto, in which event Usio will issue to IMS Shares in accordance with the following formula:

X = Y(A-B)

Where,

X = The number of Shares to be issued to IMS;

Y = The number of Shares for which the Warrant is being exercised;

A = The fair market value of one Share; and

B = The Exercise Price.

For purposes of this Section 1.8, the “fair market value” of a Share is defined as follows:

(i) if Usio’s Common Stock is traded on a national securities exchange, the OTCQB or OTCQX, the value shall be deemed to be the closing price on such exchange, the OTCQB or OTCQX, as the case may be, on the trading day immediately prior to the exercise form being submitted in connection with the exercise of the Warrant; or

(ii) if Usio’s Common Stock is not then traded on a securities exchange, the OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for Usio’s Common Stock are then reported on the “Pink Sheets” published by OTC Markets Group, Inc., the value shall be deemed to be the closing bid prior to the exercise form being submitted in connection with the exercise of the Warrant so reported; or

(iii) if there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by Usio’s Board of Directors; provided that such value shall be communicated in writing to IMS within ten (10) Business Days of submission and IMS shall have the right to revoke the election within three (3) Business Days thereafter.

1.9 Issuance of Shares Upon Exercise. Upon exercise of a Warrant, Usio shall issue and cause to be delivered to IMS, registered in the name of IMS, a certificate representing the Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Warrant. Such certificate shall be deemed to have been issued and IMS shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Shares as of the date of surrender of the Warrant Certificate and payment of the Exercise Price. The Warrants shall be exercisable, at the election of IMS, either as an entirety or for part of the number of Shares specified in the Warrant Certificate representing such Warrants. If less than all of the Shares evidenced by a Warrant Certificate are exercised at any time prior to the Expiration Date, a new Warrant Certificate or Certificates shall be issued by Usio, registered in the name of IMS, representing the remaining unexercised number of Shares evidenced by the Warrant Certificate so surrendered. All Warrant Certificates surrendered upon the exercise of Warrants shall be canceled by Usio. Usio shall take all such actions as may be necessary to ensure that all Shares are issued without violation by Usio of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock or other securities constituting Shares may be listed at the time of such exercise (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by Usio upon each such issuance).

1.10 Payment of Expenses and Taxes. Usio shall pay all expenses and taxes imposed by law or any governmental agency, including any documentary stamp taxes, attributable to the issuance of Shares upon the exercise of Warrants; provided, however that IMS shall be solely responsible for any income taxes attributable to it in connection with the issuance or exercise of the Warrants or ownership of any Shares issued upon the exercise of the Warrants.

1.11 Reservation of Shares. Usio covenants and agrees that, so long as any Warrants remain outstanding, Usio shall (i) at all times have authorized and reserved a number of Shares sufficient to provide for the exercise of the Warrants and (ii) assure that the Shares, when issued, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, issued without violation of any preemptive or similar rights of any stockholder of Usio and free and clear of all Taxes and Liens (as each term is defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement).

1.12 Legend. The Warrants, and the Shares issued pursuant to the Warrants, if applicable, shall bear such restrictive legends as Usio, with the advice of counsel, shall deem reasonable to reflect the restrictions on transfer of the Warrants and Shares pursuant to the applicable federal and state securities laws.

1.13 Expiration. The Warrants shall be exercisable until 5:00 pm Eastern Time on the fifth anniversary of the applicable Vesting Date (each an “Expiration Date”). If the Expiration Date is a day on which banking institutions are authorized by law to close, then the Warrants may be exercised until 5:00 pm Eastern Time on the next succeeding day which is not such a day in accordance with the terms herein.

1.14 Elimination of Fractional Interests. Usio shall not be required to issue certificates representing fractions of Shares upon the exercise of any Warrant, nor shall it be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of any fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up or down, as the case may be, to the nearest whole number of Shares or other securities, properties or rights.

ARTICLE 2

ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS

2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits; Combinations. If Usio declares or pays a stock dividend on the Common Stock or any other capital stock of Usio payable in shares of Common Stock, or if Usio’s outstanding shares of Common Stock are subdivided (by any stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision, distribution or stock dividend, be proportionately reduced and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of Warrants shall be proportionately increased, and conversely, if Usio’s outstanding shares of Common Stock are combined (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be proportionately decreased.

2.2 Notice of Adjustment to Holders. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price or Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, Usio, at its expense, shall compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof. Promptly, and in no case more than twenty (20) Business Days after the occurrence of such adjustment or readjustment, Usio shall furnish IMS with a notice signed by Usio's chief financial officer, or other authorized officer, setting forth in reasonable detail (i) the Exercise Price after such adjustment or readjustment; (ii) the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation was based; and (iii) the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of a Warrant after such adjustment or readjustment. Any such adjustment or readjustment shall become effective at the close of business on the date the dividend, subdivision or combination becomes effective.

2.3 Certain Other Actions Prohibited. Usio shall not by amendment of its charter documents or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issuance or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the provisions of this Warrant Agreement, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all of the provisions of this Warrant Agreement.

2.4 No Impairment. Usio shall not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or other governing documents, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed by it hereunder, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant Agreement and in the taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by IMS in order to protect the exercise rights of IMS against impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of this Warrant Agreement.

ARTICLE 3

IMS agrees, that it will not: (a) sell, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate the Warrants or cause the Warrants or the securities issuable hereunder to be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of this Warrant or the securities hereunder, except where such transfer is in compliance with or exemptions from applicable securities laws.

3.3 Transfer of Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant Agreement, Shares of Common Stock held by IMS pursuant to an exercise of a Warrant must be held by IMS for the lesser of (i) two (2) years and (ii) such shorter period as may be required by applicable securities law, in each case following such exercise before such Shares may be pledged, loaned, sold, encumbered, or otherwise transferred.

3.4 Registration Rights. At Usio’s sole discretion, Usio may piggyback the registration of the Common Stock underlying the Warrants issued under this Warrant Agreement for resale and distribution under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws to a later registration of Usio’s $0.001 par value Common Stock at such time as is convenient to Usio, in its sole discretion.
