Appointment
Letter Agreement – Healthcare Triangle, Inc. Board of Directors


Dear Jeff:


We are
pleased to tell you that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Healthcare Triangle, Inc. (the “Company”) has
elected you to serve as a member of the Board commencing from March 31, 2022.


1.
Your Duties:


 




a) 
You will be expected to attend (either in person or by teleconference) all regular meetings of the Board, of which we expect to hold
approximately four to six per annum, as well as to attend (either in person or by teleconference), if feasible, any special meetings
of the Board and to sign all written consents if you deem appropriate. In addition, you will be expected to perform such other duties
as are reasonably contemplated by your holding office as a director of the Company or which may reasonably be assigned to you by the
Board from time to time, including Committee(s) membership.


b) 
As a director you will at all times act as a fiduciary in the service of the best interests of the Company. In addition, you agree to
(i) provide all information regarding yourself as the Company requires to satisfy its disclosure obligations under applicable securities
laws; and (ii) timely file with the Securities and Exchange Commission all reports and schedules required of you in your personal capacity
by virtue of your relationship with the Company (e.g., Forms 3, 4 and 5 as contemplated by Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934).


c) 
As you will appreciate, your time commitment will ultimately be a function of the matters confronting the Company from time to time and
matters properly requiring your attention as a director of the Company.


d) 
You shall comply with all the fiduciary-duty obligations of a director as imposed by Delaware law. Subject to your fiduciary-duty obligations
as a director as imposed by Delaware law, this Letter does not otherwise restrict you from accepting appointment as a director of any
other company, providing consulting services, becoming employed by or engaging in any other business or other activity whatsoever.


2.
Remuneration:


 




a) 
Annual Options: The Company expects to provide you and other outside directors, for service on the Board, an annual grant of stock options
for 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price equal to the date-of-grant closing sale price of Company’s
common stock; which annual options would vest one year after the date of the grant. Such stock options shall remain exercisable until
the earlier of the 5 years from the date of grant or 18 months after the cessation of service, whichever is sooner.


b) 
Cash: You shall receive a quarterly cash stipend of $5,000 plus $2,500 per quarter for any Committee chairmanships or for being Chairman
of the Board, payable on the first day of each calendar quarter, for your service on the Board.


c) 
Expenses: Subject to you providing the Company with receipts or other evidence of payment, the Company will pay for or reimburse you
for all travelling, hotel and other expenses reasonably incurred by you in connection with attending and returning from Board or Committee
meetings or otherwise in connection with the Company's business. “Reasonable” air travel expenses assume economy class for
flights under 4 hours and business class for flights over 4 hours.


3.
Termination of Director Status:


 




a) 
Your status as a Director may be terminated at any time by the vote of the stockholders of the Company (including any failure to elect
you for an ensuing term at any annual meeting of stockholders) in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the
Company. Any such termination will not affect your rights under options that have become vested, subject to the post- service exercisability
period.


b) 
You acknowledge and agree that if the stockholders of the Company terminate your status as a Director (including any failure to elect
you for an ensuing term at any annual meeting of stockholders), you will have no claim of any kind against the Company by reason of the
termination.


c) 
You are at liberty to resign from the Board at any time by notice in writing to the Company.


4.
What happens after termination of Director Status?


 




If your
Director status is terminated for any reason or you resign for any reason:


a) 
The Company may set off any amounts you owe the Company against any amounts the Company owes to you as a Director at the date of termination
except for amounts the Company is not entitled by law to set off;


b) 
You must return all the Company's property (including property leased by the Company) to the Company on termination including all written
or machine readable material, software, computers, credit cards, keys and vehicles; and


c) 
You shall return to the Company all confidential information and documentation (including any copies thereof) regarding the Company and
its affiliates (including confidential information of third parties entrusted to the Company) within 5 business days following the Company's
request and to delete or destroy any electronic or written information relating to the Company, as shall be requested by the Company.


5.
Confidential Information:


 




a) 
You acknowledge and agree that during your service with the Company, you will receive confidential information regarding the Company
and its affiliates (including confidential information of third parties entrusted to the Company) and that you will not disclose any
such information to any other party nor use for your own benefit or for the benefit of any third person any of the confidential information
so obtained at any time during or after the term of your service with the Company without the Company's prior written consent.


b) 
You recognize and affirm that in the event of your breach of any provision of this Section 5, money damages would be inadequate and the
Company and its subsidiaries would have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, you agree that in the event of a breach or threatened
breach by you of the provisions of this Section 5, the Company, in addition and supplementary to any other rights and remedies existing
in its favor, may apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief
in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security).


6.
Protection:


 




a) 
During the term of your engagement hereunder, the Company will use reasonable commercial efforts to procure and maintain directors' and
officers' liability insurance policies with a minimum of $5,000,000 Aggregate Limit, and to ensure that you are included as an insured
thereunder.


b) 
The Company will enter into a standard and customary Indemnification Agreement with you on terms reasonably acceptable to you which will
provide for (i) your indemnification by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law for all acts and/or omissions directly and/or
indirectly related to any services provided by you to the Company and (ii) the advancement of your expenses in the event any action and/or
