Risks Relating to Intellectual Property & Technology

Existing ionization rainfall generation technologies may largely
be in the public domain and RWT’s competitors could develop and commercialize products similar or identical to RWT’s, and
its ability to successfully commercialize its products may be adversely affected. Therefore, success of RWT’s business is dependent
on its ability to create and implement new technologies and to obtain and maintain patent protection for such technologies.

As existing ionization rainfall generation technologies are based on
approximately 70 years of technological efforts beginning in the 1950s, the current state-of-the-art of this technology may largely be
in the public domain. Therefore, RWT’s competitors could develop and commercialize products similar or identical to RWT’s,
and its ability to successfully commercialize its products may be adversely affected, and RWT’s success depends on its ability to
create and implement new or improved ionization rainfall generation technologies that are proprietary to RWT. RWT will devote significant
resources to developing new technologies and intends to seek patent protection to achieve a competitive advantage. RWT’s research
and development efforts may require long development cycles and a substantial investment before RWT can determine the commercial viability
of any resulting technologies. Moreover, there is no assurance that RWT can successfully develop, deploy and market new or improved technologies
in a timely or commercially acceptable fashion or obtain patent protection over such technologies. Even if RWT is able to obtain patents
covering such technologies, it is still uncertain whether these patents will be contested, circumvented, invalidated or limited in scope
in the future. The rights granted under any issued patents may not provide RWT with meaningful protection or competitive advantages, and
some foreign countries provide significantly less effective patent enforcement than in the United States, particularly in those countries
where RWT’s solutions are likely to be deployed, resulting in significant harm to RWT’s business, financial position, results
of operations and cash flows.

If RWT fails to protect and enforce its existing and future technology
and intellectual property, its business will suffer.

RWT believes that its success will depend in large part on its ability
to protect its existing and future technology and intellectual property, including its ability to obtain intellectual property protection
in a timely manner, its ability to convince third parties of the applicability of its potential intellectual property rights to its products
and its ability to enforce its intellectual property rights. RWT intends to achieve the foregoing through a combination of license, development
and non-disclosure agreements
