This Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement (the "Agreement") is made as of May 1, 2025 (the "Effective Date") between Robin Walsh ("Assignor") and Northwind Traders, Inc. ("Assignee").

1. Assigned IP

For the Consideration described in Section 2, Assignor hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers, and conveys to Assignee all right, title, and interest worldwide in and to the following intellectual property (the "Assigned IP"):

All source code, documentation, design assets, and trained model weights created by Assignor for the Northwind demand-forecasting module between September 1, 2024 and April 30, 2025.

The Assigned IP includes all patents and patent applications, copyrights, trade secrets, know-how, and other intellectual property rights in it, any trademarks in it together with the goodwill of the business symbolized by them, and all claims and causes of action for past, present, and future infringement, with the right to sue for and keep all damages and other recoveries.

2. Consideration

In consideration for the assignment, and as full payment for it, Assignee shall pay Assignor $5,000.00 (the "Consideration") within 30 days of the Effective Date. Assignor acknowledges that the Consideration is sufficient.

3. Further Assurances

Assignor agrees to execute any further documents and take any further actions reasonably required to perfect and record Assignee's title in the Assigned IP, at Assignee's expense. If Assignor does not sign any such document within 10 business days after Assignee's written request, Assignor appoints Assignee as Assignor's attorney-in-fact, solely to sign and file that document.

4. Moral Rights

5. Representations

6. General
