AGREEMENT

and RW National Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”).


 


RECITALS:


 


A. The
Company retained the services of Executive to serve as its Chief Executive Officer and perform such duties and accept such obligations
as are customary to such positions as may be assigned to Executive by the Company by the Board of Managers (the “Board”),
and Executive desires to accept such appointments to perform such duties and such obligations.

the Company’s trade secrets and confidential information and of protecting the Company against competition from key employees of
the Company following their separation from the Company.


 


C. Executive
understands and acknowledges that the employment, salary and other compensation and benefits he will receive under this Agreement are
good and sufficient consideration for the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement. The rights of Executive as an employee of
the Company are governed by this Agreement.

Company shall grant an award of Class B Units (the “Award”), with Executive’s rights and obligations to be set
forth in an Award Agreement by and between Executive and the Company (the “Award Agreement”), which shall be entered
contemporaneously with this Agreement.


 


NOW,
THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:


 


1. Relationship.


 


1.1. Employment.
The Company hereby retains Executive as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, performing such duties and accepting such obligations
as are ordinary and customary to such positions at similarly situated companies, and for all such duties as may, from time to time, reasonably
be assigned to Executive by the Board. Executive hereby accepts such assignment and during the employment relationship shall devote his
full business time, skill, energy and attention to the Company; provided, that Executive may engage in civic and charitable activities
that do not materially interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder and may be permitted to serve on corporate
boards (subject to the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 3 and in the LLC Agreement (defined below)) that also do not materially
interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder with the approval of the Board, which will not be unreasonably withheld.
Executive shall also be required to comply with the Company’s written policies and procedures, which at its sole discretion may
be amended from time to time (which will be communicated to Executive). Executive shall perform Executive’s duties in a diligent,
trustworthy, loyal and business-like manner, all for the sole purpose of advancing the business of the Company. The Company acknowledges
that (a) Executive has ownership interests that include an ongoing stake in the financial performance of his prior employer, Cydcor,
and (b) after fully disclosing this interest, Executive has discussed with Company management whether to engage Cydcor for certain services.
The Company hereby waives any objection to Executive engaging Cydcor to provide services, so long as the work serves the Company’s
legitimate business interests and is done on fair market terms.


 






    


     


    

 


1.2. Notice.
Executive’s employment with the Company shall be at will, provided that to the extent practicable, the Company and Executive shall
each provide the other with at least thirty (30) days’ notice of termination, which notice shall set forth in detail the grounds
therefor, including reference to the applicable Section(s) of this Agreement.


 


2. Compensation.


 


2.1. Salary.
The Company shall pay, and Executive shall be entitled to receive from the Company, for the duties referred to in Section 1 above, an
annual salary of $400,000 in 2021, and thereafter as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, less all taxes and withholdings
required by law, which shall in no event be less than $400,000. Such salary shall be paid in accordance with the standard payroll practices
of the Company, which at its sole discretion may be amended from time to time. Executive agrees to defer any cash compensation until
such time as the Company raises additional capital from investors in an amount in excess of $5,000,000 (excluding up to $7,500,000 invested
or to be invested in Class A-1 Preferred Units and Common Units and authorized by the Company’s Board of Managers on March 22,
2021), at which time any amounts which would have otherwise been due to Executive will be paid to Executive. No salary shall be earned
after Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for whatever reason, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.


 


2.2. Discretionary
Bonus. Executive shall be eligible for a discretionary annual bonus, targeted at one hundred percent (100%) of Executive’s
annual salary earned during such calendar year, determined based upon Executive’s performance and achievements against annual targets
to be agreed upon by the Executive and the Board. Executive’s annual bonus shall be paid on the next payroll cycle following such
determination.


 


2.3. Benefits
and Expenses.


 


(a) Business
expenses will be promptly reimbursed so long as incurred by Executive in the ordinary and necessary course of performing Executive’s
duties under this Agreement and in accordance with the Company’s written reimbursement policies and procedures.


 


(b) Executive
shall perform his responsibilities from Los Angeles, California, and will travel to such other locations as reasonably necessary and
appropriate in performing Executive’s duties as Chief Executive Officer and under this Agreement. The Company will pay for Executive’s
reasonable travel and accommodations, including without limitation those associated with commuting from Los Angeles, California, to Minneapolis,
Minnesota, or other such Company locations as may be reasonably required from time to time.


 


(c) Executive
shall be eligible for paid time off as mutually agreed upon by Executive and the Board (with paid time off not to be carried forward
into a subsequent year in accordance with Company policy then in effect; accrued but unused time is not to be paid out upon termination
of employment with the Company for any reason) and other benefits no less than, measured in the aggregate, to those offered to any other
senior executive full-time employees of the Company, subject to the Company’s policies and the terms, restrictions, limitations
and requirements of any summary plan description and/or plan documents then in effect. Nothing herein shall alter, modify or change any
such policy, summary plan description or plan document.

Area. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Restricted Area” means the United States and Canada.


 


3.9. Reasonable
Restrictions. Executive acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement are reasonable and an integral part of his employment

parts had not been included herein. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be unreasonable or unenforceable, the court shall enforce the provision in a way which the court deems to be reasonable and enforceable.

his position with the Company, with or without reasonable accommodation, by reason of a physical or mental infirmity, for a period of
one hundred twenty (120) days (including noncontiguous days) within any 365-day period, as determined by mutual agreement of a physician
selected by the Company or its insurers and a physician selected by Executive; provided, however, that if the opinion of the Company’s
physician and Executive’s physician conflict, the Company’s physician and Executive’s physician shall together agree
upon a third physician, whose opinion shall be binding. The foregoing definition of “Disability” is not intended to and shall

residence from Los Angeles, California or the Company relocates its principal executive office outside of the United States without the
approval of Executive, (iv) if the Company opens up an executive office in the Los Angeles, California, metropolitan area, requiring

however, that Executive shall be entitled to continue medical coverage through the Company’s benefit plan, at his expense, to the
extent available under federal law.


 






    -6-

voluntary resignation for Good Reason, in each case other than Cause or as a result of the death or Disability of Executive, the Company
shall also pay to Executive as severance an amount equal to his base salary then in effect (the “Severance Amount”)
(in addition to other rights described in the Award Agreement), for a period equal to twelve (12) months. Both the Company’s obligation
to pay the Severance Amount and the actual paying of the Severance Amount will be subject to Executive’s execution and delivery
to the Company of a mutual written release and the expiration of the revocation period specified therein in the form reasonably requested
by the Company. The Severance Amount will be paid in approximately equal periodic installments to be made in accordance with the standard
payroll practices of the Company commencing with the first pay day following the expiration of the revocation period referenced in the
preceding sentence. All severance payments shall be subject to federal and state tax withholding and FICA. Executive shall also be entitled

defined in the Award Agreement), provided Executive receives at least $2,500,000 in cash or other marketable securities, either or both
as a result of the disposition of his Class B Units or under Section 3.5 of the Award Agreement, in connection with such Sale of the
Company, Executive will not be entitled to the Severance Amount.


 


4.4. Surviving
Rights. Notwithstanding the termination of Executive’s employment, the parties shall be required to carry out any provisions
hereof which contemplate performance subsequent to such termination, including, but not necessarily limited to those obligations set
forth in Section 3; and such termination shall not affect any liability or other obligation which shall have accrued prior to such termination,
including, but not limited to, any liability for loss or damage on account of a prior default. Executive’s rights hereunder shall
inure to the benefit of his estate, heirs, and representatives in the event of his death.


 


5. Notices.
All notices, requests, and other communications shall be in writing and except as otherwise provided herein, shall be considered to have
been delivered on the date personally delivered or, if not personally delivered, on the date that is seven (7) days after any notice,
request or communication was (i) deposited in the United States Mail, first class, certified or registered, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested; or (ii) deposited with Federal Express or other overnight delivery service, addressed to the proper party at its address as
set forth below, or to such other address as such party may hereafter designate by written notice to the other party:

6. Internal
Revenue Code Section 409(A). The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under the Agreement comply with or be exempt
from Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”) and, accordingly,
to the maximum extent permitted the Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith or exempt therefrom. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, (i) if at the time of Executive’s termination of employment with the Company the Company’s
or RW’s securities are publicly traded (as determined under Section 409A), (ii) Executive is a “specified employee”
(as determined under Section 409A), and the deferral of the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable hereunder as a
result of such termination of employment is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, then
the Company will defer the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments
or benefits ultimately paid or provided to Executive) until the date that is six months following Executive’s termination of employment
with the Company (or the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A without any accelerated or additional tax); and (ii) if any
other payments of money or other benefits due to Executive hereunder could cause the application of an accelerated or additional tax
under Section 409A, then such payments or other benefits shall be deferred if deferral will make such payment or other benefits compliant
under Section 409A, or otherwise such payment or other benefits shall be restructured, to the extent possible, in a manner, determined
by the Board, that is reasonably expected not to cause such an accelerated or additional tax. For purposes of Code Section 409A, each
payment made under this Agreement shall be designated as a “separate payment” within the meaning of the Section 409A, and,
to the extent required by Section 409A, references herein to Executive’s “termination of employment” shall refer to
Executive’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A) with the Company (as defined to include
any affiliates required to be taken into account for that definition of separation from service). The compensation (including without
limitation separation benefits) provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner intended to
comply with any applicable requirements of Section 409A, the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, and subsequent guidance issued
under Section 409A.

7. Indemnification.
The Company agrees that if the Executive is made a party to or involved in, or is threatened to be made a party to or otherwise to be
involved in, any claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”),
related in any way to Executive’s employment or by reason of fact that the Executive is or was a director, officer, member or executive
of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, member, employee or agent of another corporation,
limited liability corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to the Company’s
benefit plans, whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is Executive's alleged action in an official capacity while serving as a director,
officer, member, employee or agent, the Executive shall be indemnified, defended and held harmless by the Company against any and all
liabilities, losses, expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts reasonably paid in settlement in connection therewith, and shall
be advanced reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) as and when incurred in connection therewith. The foregoing right shall
include the right for Executive to retain independent counsel of Executive's choosing, at the Company’s expense, in the event of
a conflict of interest or any other circumstance that Executive believes in good faith warrants the retention of independent counsel.
 The rights conferred on the Executive by this Section 7 shall not be exclusive of any other rights which the Executive may have
or hereafter acquire under any statute, the by-laws, agreement, vote of members or disinterested managers, directors or otherwise.  The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for by this Section shall continue as to the Executive after the Executive ceases
to be a director, manager, officer, member, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of Executive's estate, heirs, executors
and administrators.  This Section 7 shall survive and continue in full force in accordance with its terms notwithstanding any termination
of this Agreement or Executive's employment, regardless of whether such termination is voluntary or involuntary. The indemnity provided
under this Section 7 shall in addition to the indemnification provided under applicable law, under any policy of insurance issued to
the Company, and under Article 12 of the LLC Agreement. Notwithstanding provisions of this Section 7, the Company shall not indemnify
Executive for any conduct for which Executive was found (in a final non-appealable order after a Proceeding) to have personally engaged
in fraud, bad faith, willful or intentional misconduct, or a knowing violation of law. Executive will be entitled to reasonably comprehensive
director & officer insurance coverages, which shall be at a level no less than the coverages made available to any other executive
officers of the Company.


 


8. Waiver,
Modification, or Amendment. No waiver, modification, or amendment of any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement shall be
valid or of any effect unless made in writing, signed by the party to be bound or the party’s duly authorized representative, and
specifying with particularity the nature and extent of such waiver, modification, or amendment. Any waiver by any party of any default
of the other shall not effect or impair any right arising from any subsequent default. Nothing herein shall limit the rights and remedies
of the parties hereto under and pursuant to this Agreement, except as hereinbefore set forth.


 


9. Agreement
and Acknowledgement. Executive represents that Executive is free to enter into this Agreement and the acceptance of the relationship
with the Company does not violate any agreement between Executive and any third party. Executive has had an opportunity to consult legal
counsel and has done so of his own volition and free will. Executive further acknowledges and represents that the Class B Units and compensation
set forth herein is sufficient consideration for the restrictive covenants set forth herein.


 


10.
 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including any exhibits attached hereto or documents expressly referred to herein, contains
the entire agreement between the Company and Executive and supersedes and cancels any and all other agreements, whether oral or in writing,
between the Company and Executive regarding Executive’s employment with the Company. Any conflict regarding the meaning of defined
terms or the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and the exhibits and documents referenced herein, in each case relating
to Executive’s employment with the shall be resolved in favor of the meaning set forth herein.

11. Interpretation
and Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be applied and interpreted in a manner consistent with each other so as
to carry out the purposes and intent of the parties hereto, but if for any reason any provision hereof is determined to be unenforceable
or invalid, such provision or such part thereof as may be unenforceable or invalid shall be deemed severed from this Agreement and the
remaining provisions shall be carried out with the same force and effect as if the severed provision or part thereof had not been a part
of this Agreement.


 


12. Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota.


 


13. Assignment.
Executive acknowledges that Executive’s services are unique and personal. Accordingly, Executive may not assign his rights or delegate
his duties or obligations under this Agreement. The Company may assign its rights and delegate its responsibility under this Agreement
to any affiliated company or any entity which acquires all or substantially all of the operating assets of the Company by merger, consolidation,
