Holdings, Inc.

Dear
Virgilio,
Thank
you for selecting Everest Advisors LLC (“Everest”) to work with TEN Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”).
Everest and the Company are each referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” Everest will
provide the Company with a Chief Financial Officer and the related financial management services described in this Agreement (the “Services”).
Ian
Lawson, an Everest Managing Director, will serve as your Chief Financial Officer (the “Resource”), with the final selection
to be mutually agreed by the Parties prior to commencement.
This
letter and the Standard Terms and Conditions attached as Exhibit A (collectively, the “Agreement”) set forth our mutual understanding
and agreement as to the terms of our engagement.
The
Work Relationship. Everest shall be accountable for the Services provided under this Agreement. The Company acknowledges that it
is solely responsible for determining whether the Services (assuming fulfillment by Everest) are sufficient for purposes hereof.
The
Resource & Work Relationship. The Resource is mutually approved and will use their best efforts to execute on the requirements
of the Chief Financial Officer role on a fractional basis. The Company acknowledges that it is solely responsible for determining the
sufficiency of the Services provided by Everest for its purposes.
Engagement
Scope & Deliverables. The objectives of the engagement are to have the Resource, who shall be named an officer of the Company,
perform the financial duties of the Chief Financial Officer and sign Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings as
Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, if required, on a fractional basis, focused on the following areas, which
together constitute the engagement scope:
1. Controllership
& Accounting — oversee the Company’s accounting function and financial close
process, manage the Finance and Accounting team including internal and external resources,
and ensure compliance with all finance-related filing and audit requirements.
2. SEC
Reporting & Related Activities — prepare and support the filing of the Company’s
periodic SEC reports (including Forms 10-Q and 10-K) and related disclosures, sign such filings
as Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, if applicable, and coordinate
with Company counsel and auditors as needed.
Everest Advisors LLC Page 1 of 10
3. Financial
Planning & Analysis — develop and maintain budgets, forecasts, and KPI reporting,
and provide financial analysis to support key business decisions.
4. Fundraising
— support capital raise planning, investor materials, and related financial analysis.
Insurance
Coverage. For so long as the Resource is named as an officer of the Company or is signing SEC filings on behalf of the Company, the
Company shall, at its sole cost and expense: (a) maintain a directors and officers liability insurance policy (“D&O Policy”)
with coverage limits determined by the Company’s board of directors; and (b) provide the Resource with the same indemnification
protections, including advancement of expenses, as are provided to the Company’s other officers under the Company’s organizational
documents or the form of indemnification agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Company shall provide Everest with evidence of such
D&O coverage within ten (10) business days of the Effective Date, and promptly notify Everest of any material reduction in coverage
or cancellation of the D&O Policy. In the event the Company fails to maintain such coverage, Everest may, upon written notice, suspend
the Resource’s service as a named officer until coverage is restored, without affecting the remainder of this Agreement.
Fees
for Services. Based on the anticipated level of effort across the year — accounting for lighter months, months that include
a fiscal quarter-end close, and the heavier workload in the two months following the Company’s fiscal year-end — the Company
will pay Everest a flat fee of $4,000 per month, spread evenly across all twelve (12) months of the engagement year regardless of month-to-month
variation in workload. This monthly fee includes up to twelve (12) hours per month of the Resource’s time. Fees will be invoiced
monthly in advance, on or about the first business day of each month, and are due upon receipt. If the Resource’s hours in a given
month exceed the twelve (12) hours included in that month’s fee, the overage will be billed at a rate of $350 per hour and included
as a line item on the following month’s invoice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any hours in excess of the twelve (12) hours included
in the monthly fee must be approved in advance in writing by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or his designee. The Company
shall have no obligation to pay for unapproved overage hours. Any scope changes, out-of-scope items, or difficulties encountered in performing
the Services will result in incremental fees, which shall be mutually agreed to between the Parties in advance of billing. Everest acknowledges
and agrees that it is solely responsible for all federal and state taxes, deductions, and withholding relating to the Services and the
Resource.
Hiring
Fees. The Company may hire the Resource at any time as its employee during the term of this engagement. Upon hiring the Resource,
Everest shall be entitled to a fee equal to twenty five percent (25%) of the Resource’s first-year Annualized Fees (as defined
in the Standard Terms and Conditions attached as Exhibit A), plus any remaining out-of-pocket expenses (collectively, the “Fee”).
The Fee will be due within five days of the Resource commencing services with Company and shall be refundable in full if the Resource
is terminated during the first 90 days of employment for good reason, as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors.
Expenses.
The Company will reimburse the Resource directly for all reasonable travel and other incidental expenses (transportation, lodging,
per diem) consistent with the other executives of the Company. Such expenses will be subject to the expense reimbursement policy of the
Company. Any travel must be approved in writing by the Company in advance.

rest of the page is intentionally left blank.

the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign a copy of this Agreement and return it to my attention.

Company will promptly pay Everest a placement fee in an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Annualized Fees within five
(5) days of the Retention; provided that the foregoing provision will not apply and shall not prevent the Company from (a) making good

implied, or statutory, including, but not limited to any warranties of quality, performance, merchantability, or fitness of use or purpose.
Without limiting the foregoing, Everest makes no representation or warranty with respect to the Everest personnel or Services provided
hereunder other than as set forth above and will not be responsible for any action taken by the Company in following or declining to
follow any of the Everest personnel’s advice or recommendations. The Services provided by Everest and the Everest personnel hereunder
are for the sole benefit of the Company and not any third parties. The Services will not constitute an audit, review, opinion, or compilation,
or any other type of financial statement reporting or attestation engagement that is subject to the rules of the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants or other similar state or national professional bodies or laws and will not result in an opinion or any
form of assurance on internal controls. It is incumbent on the Company to report any unsatisfactory performance of the Everest personnel
on a timely basis. If the Company is unsatisfied with the performance of the Everest personnel, the Company may terminate the Everest
personnel or request a replacement Everest professional, which will be mutually agreed. All Services performed up through the first date
of unsatisfactory performance by Everest personnel, as indicated in a notice from Company to Everest, will be considered valid and collectible.
8.
Limitation of Liability and Indemnity.
(a)
Everest and the Company (each, in its capacity as the Party owing indemnification, an “Indemnifying Party”) each agree to
indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the other Party and its managers, officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, successors,
and permitted assigns (collectively the “Indemnified Party”) against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies,
claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including professional
fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees, that are incurred by Indemnified Party/awarded against Indemnified Party in a final judgment,
arising out of any third-party claim alleging: (i) material breach or non-fulfillment of any material representation, warranty, or covenant
under the Agreement; (ii) any grossly negligent or more culpable act or omission of Indemnifying Party or its personnel (including any
reckless or willful misconduct) in connection with the performance of its obligations under the Agreement; or (iii) any failure by Indemnifying
Party to materially comply with any applicable federal, state, or local laws, regulations, or codes in the performance of its obligations
under the Agreement.
(b)
In no event shall either Party be liable under the Agreement for consequential, indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive or
enhanced damages, arising out of, or relating to, and/or in connection with any breach of the Agreement, regardless of (i) whether such
damages were foreseeable, (ii) whether or not it was advised of the possibility of such damages and (iii) the legal or equitable theory
(contract, tort or otherwise) upon which the claim is based. In no event shall a Party’s aggregate liability arising out of or
related to the Agreement, whether arising out of or related to breach of contract, tort (including gross negligence) or otherwise, exceed
the total of the amounts paid to Everest in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the indemnification claim. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the foregoing limitations on liability shall not apply to any liabilities resulting from fraud,
intentional misconduct, or gross negligence by either Party, breach of Section 10 (Confidentiality) below, or breach of applicable laws
by either Party, or the Company’s obligation to pay any fees or other amounts due to Everest under the Agreement.
Everest Advisors LLC Page 6 of 10
9.
Governing Law; Arbitration.
(a)
The Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law’s provisions.
(b)
All controversies, disputes or proceedings between the Parties arising out of or related to the Agreement or the relationship of the
Parties under the Agreement irrespective of the type of claim, shall be determined by binding arbitration under expedited procedures
set forth in JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures as those rules exist on the Effective Date, including Rules 16.1 and
16.2 of those Rules. A Party may initiate an arbitration proceeding by sending written notice of such to the other Party (the “Arbitration
Demand”). That notice shall specify the nature of the dispute. The arbitration shall be held in New York City, New York and administered
by JAMS nearest office. All disputes relating to discovery which cannot immediately be resolved by the Parties to the dispute shall be
submitted to the arbitrator for an expedited ruling. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator mutually acceptable to
the Parties to the dispute. If the Parties to the dispute are unable to agree upon a single arbitrator within twenty (20) days of receipt
of an Arbitration Demand, then the arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator appointed by JAMS in accordance with its rules.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the arbitrator may not award any incidental, indirect, consequential, or punitive damages, which
includes, but is not limited to, damages for lost profits. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on all Parties.
10.
Confidentiality.
(a)
Use and Nondisclosure. Everest agrees at all times during the period of the Agreement and all times thereafter, (i) hold the Confidential
Information (defined below) of the Company in strict confidence, (ii) not to directly or indirectly use or disclose to any person or
entity any Confidential Information for any reason or purpose whatsoever except to those Everest personnel who are required to have the
information as needed for the purpose of performing the Services contemplated hereunder; or (iii) use, disclose to the Company, or induce
the Company to use (knowingly or unknowingly), any confidential information, trade secrets or documents belonging to others. Everest
shall protect the Company’s Confidential Information by using at least the same degree of care as Everest uses to protect its own
most highly confidential information, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent the disclosure, unauthorized use, dissemination,
or publication of the Confidential Information. Everest shall be responsible for any breach of the Agreement by any Everest personnel.
Everest shall immediately notify the Company of any information which becomes known to Everest which indicates or suggests that an unauthorized
use or disclosure of Confidential Information may have occurred or is likely to occur. The Company shall likewise hold Everest’s
confidential and proprietary information — including Everest’s methodologies, work product, and fee structures — in
confidence on terms no less protective than those set forth in this Section.
Everest Advisors LLC Page 7 of 10
(b)
Definition of Confidential Information. As used in the Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” means all confidential,
proprietary, or secret information, including that conceived or developed by Everest personnel solely or jointly with others, applicable
to or in any way related to the past, present, or future business of the Company including, but not limited to, material non-public information
under applicable federal securities laws. Confidential Information includes, by way of example and without limitation, the Company’s
personnel, financial, accounting and operational information, trade secrets, products, data and databases, computer programs, systems,
documentation, flow charts, algorithms, source codes and any other material or information of whatever nature which provides the holder
of such information an opportunity to gain an advantage over competitors. The Company’s determination that specific information
constitutes Confidential Information shall be definitive and binding on Everest personnel. Confidential Information will not include
information which: (i) is now, or hereafter becomes, through no act or failure to act on the part of Everest personnel, generally known
or available to the public; (ii) was acquired by Everest personnel before receiving such information from Company and without restriction
as to use or disclosure, as evidenced by contemporaneous written files and documents or otherwise sufficiently substantiated; (iii) is
rightfully furnished to Everest personnel by a third party without restriction as to use or disclosure; or (iv) is independently developed
by Everest personnel without use or access to the Confidential Information, as evidenced by contemporaneous written files and documents
or otherwise sufficiently substantiated. For the avoidance of doubt and without prejudice to the generality of the above, Confidential
Information shall not be deemed to be known because it may be derived from one or more items that are publicly available.
(c)
NO WARRANTY. ALL CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION IS PROVIDED “AS IS”. THE COMPANY MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR OTHERWISE,
REGARDING ITS ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS OR PERFORMANCE.
(d)
Injunction. Everest acknowledges and agrees that any breach by Everest of its covenants and agreements in this Section may cause irreparable
injury to the Company that cannot be redressed by the payment of monies, the Company shall be entitled to seek to enjoin any such threatened
or continuing violation, without the necessity of posting any bond or other security. Any equitable relief shall be in addition to, not
in lieu of, legal remedies, monetary damages, or other available forms of relief.
(e)
Return of Materials. All Confidential Information of the Company is and will remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company. The
Company’s disclosure of the Confidential Information will not constitute an express or implied transfer or grant to Everest of
any right, title or interest to or in the Company’s Confidential Information or to, in or under any of the Company’s patents,
copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property or ownership rights. Upon termination of the Agreement and regardless of the reason
for such termination, Everest personnel will leave at the Company’s premises, or promptly return to the Company, all documents,
records, notebooks, magnetic tapes, disks, audio or visual materials, or other materials, including all copies in Everest personnel’s
possession or control that contain Confidential Information. All Company-specific financial models, accounting schedules, reports, analyses,
forecasts, SEC reporting materials, audit support documentation, internal control documentation and other work product created specifically
for the Company in connection with the Services shall be the property of the Company. Everest shall retain ownership of its pre-existing
methodologies, templates, know-how and other intellectual property. Upon termination, Everest shall promptly provide the Company with
all Company work product and reasonably cooperate in transitioning the financial function to the Company or its designee.
Everest Advisors LLC Page 8 of 10
(f)
Survival. The obligations of Everest under the Agreement shall survive any termination of the Agreement until such time as all Confidential
Information disclosed hereunder becomes known or made generally available through no action or inaction of Everest.
(g)
Everest and the Resource shall comply with the Company’s applicable insider trading, Regulation FD, confidentiality, cybersecurity
and other public-company policies provided to Everest or the Resource. Everest and the Resource shall not trade in the Company’s
securities while in possession of material nonpublic information and shall promptly notify the Company of any actual or suspected unauthorized
access to or disclosure of Company information.
11.
Miscellaneous.
(a)
The Agreement is the entire agreement between the Parties for professional services and supersedes any and all agreements, whether oral
or written, between the Parties with respect to its subject matter.
(b)
If any portion of the Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severed from the remainder of the Agreement
and will not cause the invalidity or un-enforceability of the remainder of the Agreement, except to the extent that the severed provision
deprives either Party of a material portion of its bargain.
(c)
Neither Party will be liable for any delay or failure to perform under the Agreement (other than with respect to payment obligations)
to the extent such delay or failure is a result of an act of God, war, earthquake, civil disobedience, court order, labor dispute, or
other cause beyond such Party’s reasonable control.
(d)
Company and/or Everest may not assign its rights or obligations under the Agreement without the express written consent of the other
Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(e)
The Agreement may only be amended, modified, or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each Party hereto, and any of the terms
thereof may be waived, only by a written document signed by each Party to the Agreement or, in the case of waiver, by the Party or Parties
waiving compliance.
(f)
