1. Term. Your appointment shall be effective as of the date of the effectiveness of the registration statement on F-1 of the Company. Your term as director shall continue subject to the provisions in Section 8 below or until your successor is duly elected and qualified. The position shall be up for re-election each year at the annual shareholders’ meeting and upon re-election, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
2. Services. You shall render services as a member of the Board, which shall include, amongst others, representing the interests of the shareholders of the Company in Board discussions and exercising your best endeavors to procure the Company’s compliance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Nasdaq”), the Constitution and all other Applicable Laws which are binding on or applicable to the Group. You shall be required to attend all meetings of the Board called from time to time either in-person or by telephone, Zoom or another online meeting or otherwise virtual meeting platform. You shall be required to attend all meetings of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominations Committee either in-person or by telephone, Zoom or another online meeting or otherwise virtual meeting platform. As an independent director, you may also be required to attend at least one (1) meeting with the other independent directors without the presence of the Company’s officers and non-independent directors and to perform such other duties required of the independent directors, including but not limited to submitting relevant documents required of directors by the SEC or Nasdaq. The services described in this Section 2 shall hereinafter be referred to as your “Duties.”
3. Services for Others. You shall be free to represent or perform services for other persons during the term of this Agreement. You agree, however, that you do not presently perform and do not intend to perform, during the term of this Agreement, similar Duties, consulting, or other services for companies whose businesses are or would be, in any way, directly or indirectly, competitive with the Company (except for companies previously disclosed by you to the Company in writing). Should you propose to perform similar Duties, consulting, or other services for any such company, you shall notify the Company in writing in advance (specifying the name of the organization for whom you propose to perform such services) and to provide information to the Company sufficient to allow it to determine if the performance of such services would conflict with areas of interest to the Company.
