I think the user is actually asking how to stop the outer loop if the Stop button is pressed or the iteration count reaches 10.
To poster: You need an OR condition on the outer loop's conditional terminal. One OR input comes from the Stop button. The other comes from the case structure. In the False case you wire out a False Boolean constant. In the True part you wire out a True. You could also wire the OR input to the Boolean control directly since this amounts to the same thing.
Code comments:
Do not create greedy loops. Use a small delay so you don't starve the CPU.
I think you want the inner loop's condition terminal to be "Continue if True".
You can use the Increment function rather than using an Add function and a constant of 1.
You don't actually need the inner loop at all. You can use a Feedback Node.
Adding to these comments it is important to note that if you read the value of a button to control stopping a loop you should always ensure that you read it AFTER you execute all of your code in the loop. If you don't you can easily end up with an "off-by-one" execution since the button will get read very early in the loop iteration and it will use that value when deciding if the loop should exit or not. It won't use the value of the button at that instance in time (end of teh loop iteration).
