Mr. William
Brent Miller
Dear William:
This offer letter will confirm our agreement (the
“Agreement”) with respect to your employment as Chief Financial Officer of reAlpha Tech Corp. (“Tech Corp”),
having its principal place of business at 6515 Longshore Loop #100, Dublin, OH 43017. Your official start date is August 19, 2024. The
initial duties you will be expected to perform are outlined in the attached “Schedule A.” This Agreement will become effective
when fully executed as reflected by the date shown on the signature page attached hereto (the “Effective Date”).
1. Title and Job Duties.
| (a) | Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement,
the Company agrees to employ you (“Employee”) as Chief Financial Officer of the Company (“CFO”)
reporting to the President of the Company (the “Manager”). In his/her capacity as CFO, the Employee shall have the
duties, authorities and responsibilities as set forth in the Company bylaws, or as designated from time to time by the Manager, Officers,
or Directors, as applicable. |
| (b) | Employee accepts such employment and agrees, during the term of his/her employment, to devote his/her
full business and professional time and energy to the Company. The Employee agrees to carry out and abide by all lawful directions of
the Manager, Officers, or Directors, as applicable. |
| (c) | Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Employee shall not, without the written approval
of the Manager, Officers, or Directors, as applicable, render services of a business or commercial nature on Employee’s own behalf
or on behalf of any other person, firm, or corporation, whether for compensation or otherwise, during his/her employment hereunder; provided
that the foregoing shall not prevent the Employee from: (i) serving on the boards of directors of non-profit organizations and, with the
prior written approval from the Company, other for profit companies, (ii) participating in charitable, civic, educational, professional,
community or industry affairs, and (iii) managing the Employee’s passive personal investments, so long as such activities in the
aggregate do not materially interfere or conflict with the Employee’s duties hereunder or create a potential business or fiduciary
conflict. |
2. Salary and Additional Compensation.
| (a) | Base Salary. The Company shall pay to the Employee an annual base salary of $250,000 (the “Base
Salary”), less applicable withholdings and deductions, in accordance with the Company’s normal practices for senior executives.
The Compensation Committee of the Board will review the Employee’s Salary at least annually and may increase it at any time for
any reason. However, the Employee’s Salary may not be decreased at any time (including after any increase) other than as part of
an across-the-board salary reduction that applies in the same manner to all senior executives, and any increase in the Employee’s
Salary will not reduce or limit any other obligation to the Employee under this Letter. |
| (b) | Future Annual Cash Bonus. The Employee will be entitled to earn an annual cash incentive bonus
(your “Bonus”) for each calendar year of the Company ending during your employment. Your target Bonus opportunity will be
66.7% of your Salary (e.g., $165,000 for 2024), and your actual Bonus will range from 0% to 100% of your target Bonus opportunity based
on actual performance against performance metrics established by the Compensation Committee of the Board and be paid within two and one-half
months after the end of the calendar year to which it relates. If your employment begins or ends partway through a calendar year, your
Bonus for that year will be prorated based on the number of months you were in the role during that year. The Compensation Committee of
the Board, in its sole discretion, will establish the specific performance targets for each calendar year. Your Bonus will be subject
to the terms of the Group plan under which it is awarded (including applicable performance metrics and any deferral requirements) and
any Group clawback or recoupment policy in effect from time to time. You expressly agree to comply with any such policy in all regards. |
| (c) | Equity Awards. Subject to approval by the Compensation Committee, the Employee is also eligible to participate
in the Company’s long-term equity incentive program, designed to provide long-term incentives for certain employees of the Company
and align their interests with the interests of the Company’s stockholders (the “LTI Awards”). The Employee will be
eligible for LTI Awards in an amount and type to be determined by the Compensation Committee. |
The LTI Awards shall be granted under
the terms of grant-specific agreements that are approved by the Board’s compensation committee from time to time, and in accordance
with the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Agreements). These Equity Agreements will provide for vesting schedules,
performance metrics, and other material terms of each LTI Award as determined by the Compensation Committee. The Board and the Company
reserve the right, at their discretion, to change the terms of future Equity Agreements and the equity granted thereunder, subject to
the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan. The use of the LTI Awards, as part of the annual equity grant, is discretionary and may
be substituted, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, by other equity instruments in accordance with incentive compensation
plans adopted by the Board from time to time. The actual LTI Awards payable to Employee for a fiscal year shall be determined in the sole
and absolute discretion of the Board’s compensation committee, which, to the extent earned, shall be paid no later than two and
a half months after the end of the fiscal year to which the applicable LTI Award relates to.
3. Background Check. The Company may conduct
a background or reference check (or both). If so, then the Employee agrees to cooperate fully in those procedures, and this offer is subject
to the Company’s approving the outcome of those checks, in the sole discretion of the Company.
4. Expenses. In accordance with Company
policy, the Company shall reimburse the Employee for all reasonable business expenses properly and reasonably incurred and paid by the
Employee in the performance of his/her duties under this Agreement upon the Employee’s presentment of detailed receipts in the form required
by the Company’s policy.
5. Benefits.
| (a) | Vacation. Our unlimited vacation policy allows employees to take as much leave as they need. Employees
need time to rest and enjoy themselves outside work. Putting a cap on this important time doesn’t help our effort to achieve high
levels of employee satisfaction and productivity. This policy is based on mutual trust between employer and employee. It gives employees
opportunities to work or take time off as they see fit if they keep fulfilling their duties. |
| (b) | Health Insurance and Other Plans. The Employee shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s
medical and other employee benefit programs that are provided by the Company for its employees generally, at levels commensurate with
the Employee’s position, in accordance with the provisions of any such plans, as the same may be in effect from time to time. |
6. Term and Termination. The terms set
forth in this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and shall remain in effect until termination by either party. Either party
may terminate the Employee’s employment on an at-will basis at any time and for any reason or no reason, upon written notice to
the other party. Company and Employee shall agree on a mutually acceptable start date, which shall be as promptly as practically possible
following the Effective Date of this Agreement.
7. Confidentiality Agreement.
| (a) | Employee understands that during his/her employment with the Company, he/she may have access to unpublished
and otherwise confidential information both of a technical and non-technical nature, relating to the business of the Company, Tech Corp,
each of their affiliates, or its and their customers, vendors or other third parties, including, without limitation, any of their actual
or anticipated business, research or development, any of their technology or the implementation or exploitation thereof, including, without
limitation, information Employee and others have collected, obtained or created, information pertaining to customers, accounts, vendors,
prices, costs, materials, processes, codes, material results, technology, system designs, system specifications, materials of construction,
trade secrets and equipment designs, including information disclosed to the Company by others under agreements to hold such information
confidential (collectively, the “Confidential Information”). Employee agrees to observe all Company policies and procedures
concerning such Confidential Information. Employee further agrees not to disclose or use, either during his/her employment or at any time
thereafter, any Confidential Information for any purpose, including, without limitation, any competitive purpose, unless authorized to
do so by the Company in writing, except that he/she may disclose and use such information in the good faith performance of his/her duties
for the Company. Employee’s obligations under this Agreement will continue with respect to Confidential Information, whether or
not his/her employment is terminated, until such information becomes generally available from public sources through no fault of the Employee
or any representative of the Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Employee shall be permitted to disclose Confidential Information
as may be required by a subpoena or other governmental order, provided that he/she first notifies the Company of such subpoena, order
or other requirement and such that the Company has the opportunity to obtain a protective order or other appropriate remedy. |
| (b) | During Employee’s employment with the Company, upon the Company’s request, or upon the termination
of his/her employment for any reason, Employee will promptly deliver to the Company all documents, records, files, notebooks, manuals,
letters, notes, reports, customer and supplier lists, cost and profit data, e-mail, apparatus, computers, smartphones, hardware, software,
drawings, blueprints, and any other material belonging to the Company or any of its customers, including all materials pertaining to Confidential
Information developed by Employee or others, and all copies of such materials, whether of a technical, business or fiscal nature, whether
on the hard drive of a laptop or desktop computer, in hard copy, disk or any other format, which are in his/her possession, custody or
control. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6 to the contrary, Employee shall not be required to return to the Company apparatuses,
computers, smartphones, or other devices that are owned by Employee and not by the Company, but Employee may be required to deliver such
devices to the Company or its designee for a period during which the Company shall delete from such devices Confidential Information of
the Company or their affiliates, if any. |
8. Assignment of Intellectual Property.
| (a) | The Employee will promptly disclose to the Company any idea, invention, discovery, or improvement, whether
patentable or not (“Creations”), conceived or made by him alone or with others at any time during his/her employment
with the Company or its affiliates. Employee agrees that the Company owns any such Creations, conceived, or made by Employee alone or
with others at any time during his/her employment, and Employee hereby assigns and agrees to assign to the Company all moral or other
rights he/she has or may acquire therein and agrees to execute any and all applications, assignments and other instruments relating thereto
which the Company deems necessary or desirable. Employee hereby waives and relinquishes all moral rights he/she has or may acquire in
the Creations and agrees to execute any and all other waivers and instruments relating thereto which the Company deems necessary or desirable.
These obligations shall continue beyond the termination of his/her employment with respect to Creations and derivatives of such Creations
conceived or made during his/her employment with the Company. The Company and Employee understand that the obligation to assign Creations
to the Company shall not apply to any Creation which is developed entirely on his/her own time without using any of the Company’s
equipment, supplies, facilities, and/or Confidential Information unless such Creation (i) relates in any way to the business or to the
current or anticipated research or development of the Company, or (ii) results in any way from his/her work at the Company. |
| (b) | In any jurisdiction in which moral rights cannot be assigned, Employee hereby waives any such moral rights
and any similar or analogous rights under the applicable laws of any state or country of the world that Employee may have in connection
with the Creations, and to the extent such waiver is unenforceable, hereby covenants and agrees not to bring any claim, suit or other
legal proceeding against the Company or any of its affiliates claiming that Employee’s moral rights have been violated. |
| (c) | Employee agrees to cooperate fully with the Company both during and after his/her employment with the
Company, with respect to the procurement, maintenance and enforcement of copyrights, patents, trademarks, and other intellectual property
rights (both in the United States and foreign countries) relating to such Creations. The Employee shall sign all papers, including, without
limitation, copyright applications, patent applications, declarations, oaths, formal assignments, assignments of priority rights and powers
of attorney, which the Company may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights and interests in any Creations. Employee
further agrees that if the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure Employee’s signature on any such papers, any officer
of the Company shall be entitled to execute such papers as his/her agent and attorney-in-fact and the Employee hereby irrevocably designates
and appoints each officer of the Company as his/her agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any such papers on his/her behalf and to take
any and all actions as the Company may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights and interests in any Creations, under
the conditions described in this paragraph. |
9. Non-Competition Agreement.
| (a) | The Employee will not, for a period of one (1) year following the termination of his/her employment for
any reason (the “Restricted Period”), directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any
other person or entity, engage in, invest in or otherwise participate in (whether as an owner, employee, officer, director, manager, consultant,
independent contractor, agent, partner, advisor, or in any other capacity) any business of a short-term rental business competitor (such
business, the “Restricted Business”). Notwithstanding the above, the foregoing covenant shall not be deemed to prohibit
the acquisition as a passive investment of not more than five percent (5%) of the capital stock of a competing business whose stock is
traded on a national securities exchange or over-the-counter and shall not be deemed to prohibit the acquisition of any shares of capital
stock of Company. |
| (b) | During the Restricted Period, the Employee will not directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf of
or in conjunction with any other person or entity, (i) solicit or hire (or assist or encourage any other person or entity to solicit or
hire), or otherwise interfere in any manner with any employee, advertiser or strategic partner of the Company (each, a “Restricted
Entity”), other than by general public advertisement or other such general solicitation not specifically targeted at any such
person, (ii) induce or request any customer of any Restricted Entity to reduce, cancel or terminate its business with such Restricted
Entity or otherwise interfere in any manner in any Restricted Entity’s business relationship with any of its customers, or (iii)
solicit or accept business from any customer of any Restricted Entity in connection with a Restricted Business. |
| (c) | The Employee agrees that the foregoing covenants are reasonable with respect to their duration, geographic
area, and scope. If a judicial determination is made that any provision of this Section 8 constitutes an unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable
restriction against the Employee, then the provisions of this Section 8 shall be rendered void with respect to the Employee only to the
extent such judicial determination finds such provisions to be unenforceable. In that regard, any judicial authority construing this Section
8 shall be empowered to sever any prohibited business activity, time period or geographical area from the coverage of any such agreements
and to apply the remaining provisions of this Section 8 to the remaining business activities, time periods and/or geographical areas not
so severed. Moreover, in the event that any provision, or the application thereof, of this Section 8 is determined not to be specifically
enforceable, the Company may be entitled to recover monetary damages as a result of the breach of such agreement. |
10. Representation and Warranty. The Employee
represents and warrants to the Company that the Employee is not subject to any agreement restricting his/her ability to enter into this
Agreement and fully carry out his/her duties and responsibilities hereunder. The Employee hereby indemnifies and holds the Company harmless
against any losses, claims, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), damages or liabilities incurred by the Company as a
result of a breach of the foregoing representation and warranty.

at any time immediately upon delivery of written notice to the other party, which may be by U.S. mail, courier, or electronic mail.
12. Severability. If any provision of this
Agreement is declared void or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, all other provisions shall nonetheless remain in full
force and effect.
13. Governing Law and Consent to Jurisdiction.
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to the
conflict of law provisions thereof. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or
federal court in Ohio over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such Ohio state or Federal
court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent legally possible, the defense of an inconvenient forum

to insist upon strict adherence to any provision of this Agreement on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive
that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that provision or any other provision of this Agreement. Any waiver

or oral, relating to the Employee’s employment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a writing signed by each
of the parties hereto.

About reAlpha
reAlpha (previously called “Claire”), announced
on April 24, 2024, is reAlpha’s generative AI-powered, commission-free, homebuying platform. The tagline: No fees. Just keys.TM –
reflects reAlpha’s dedication to eliminating traditional barriers and making homebuying more accessible and transparent.
reAlpha’s introduction aligns with major
shifts in the real estate sector after the NAR agreed to settle certain lawsuits upon being found to have violated antitrust laws, resulting
in inflated fees paid to buy-side agents. This development is expected to result in the end of the standard six percent sales commission,
which equates to approximately $100 billion in realtor fees paid annually. reAlpha offers a cost-free alternative for homebuyers by utilizing
an AI-driven workflow that assists them through the homebuying process.
Homebuyers using reAlpha’s conversational
interface will be able to interact with Claire, reAlpha’s AI buyer’s agent, to guide them through every step of their homebuying
journey, from property search to closing the deal. By offering support 24/7, Claire is poised to make the homebuying process more efficient,
enjoyable, and cost-efficient. Claire matches buyers with their dream homes using over 400 data attributes and provides insights into
market trends and property values. Additionally, Claire can assist with questions, booking property tours, submitting offers, and negotiations.
Currently, reAlpha is under limited availability
for homebuyers located in 20 counties in Florida, but reAlpha is actively seeking new MLS and brokerage licenses that will enable expansion
into more U.S. states.
