Re: Board of Directors - Offer Letter

 

Dear Rick:

 

We are very pleased to offer you a position as a member of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Grand Perfecta, Inc. (the "Company"). This offer, which is subject to the approval of each of the current members of our Board, is based on the following terms and conditions:

 

Term: Your appointment will be effective as of May I, 2014.   Your term as a director shall continue until your successor is duly elected and qualified. The position shall be up for re-election each year at the annual shareholder's meeting and upon re-election, the terms and provisions of this letter shall remain in full force and effect unless otherwise revised on such terms mutually agreed upon to by you and the Company.
   
Responsibilities: As a director of the Company, your duties and responsibilities will be those reasonably and customarily associated with such position.  Every year, the Board shall hold such number of meetings at such times and locations as determined by the Chairman of the Board. Upon the reasonable request of the Chairman, you will agree to attend one or more board meetings via teleconference, videoconference or in person.
   
Services for Others: You will be free to represent or perform services for other persons and/or companies during the term of this agreement. However, you agree 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, in any way, 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 agree to 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.
