Letter of Appointment – Board of Directors


 


Dear Mr. Stilley:


 


We are pleased to offer you the role as
a director of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Avalon GloboCare Corp. (the “Company”). In addition,
we expect to appoint you as Chairman of the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) upon formation. This letter contains
the terms of your appointment as a director of the Board of Directors of the Company and as Chairman of the Committee upon formation.
This letter will be effective from the date of the signing of this letter.


 


		1.	Your
Duties: 



 


		a)	You will be expected to attend all meetings (either in person or by teleconference) of the Board
of the Company and the Committee, of which we expect to hold approximately four per annum for the Board and Committee as well as
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, member of the Committee or which may reasonably be assigned to
you by the Board from time to time.





 


		b)	As a director and member of the Committee you will:





 


		i)	Perform to the best of your abilities and knowledge the duties reasonably assigned to you by the
Board and the Committee from time to time, whether during or outside business hours and at such places as the Board reasonably
requires;





 


		ii)	Use all reasonable efforts to promote the interests of the Company;



 


		iii)	Attend directors’ meetings and committee meetings;



 


		iv)	Act in the best interests of the Company; and





 


		v)	Work closely with the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer.




 


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

		2.	Remuneration:




 


On January 1 of each year, the Company
shall grant you options to purchase 40,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on an annual basis at exercise price equal
to the closing price on December 31st. The options will vest 25% at the beginning of each quarter and have a term of five years.
As your service as a director will commence on the date set forth above, the option for this year shall be pro-rated. As a result,
for 2018, you shall receive a stock option to acquire 20,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.30 per share for
a term of five years vesting immediately with respect to 10,000 shares of common stock and 10,000 shares of common stock vesting
October 1, 2018.


 


In addition, you will receive $7,500 per
quarter for serving as Chairman of the Committee commencing upon formation.


 


		3.	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, Committee, Company, meetings or otherwise
in connection with the Company’s business. Reasonable travel and out of pocket expenses used in connection with the business of
the Group shall include: 





 


		a)	Cell phone bills;





 


		b)	Domestic and international travel (economy class under 4 hours and business class over 4 hours);
and





 


		c)	Hotel accommodation.





 


		4.	Termination of Appointment: 





 


		a)	Your appointment as the Director may be terminated at any time by the vote of the stockholders
of the Company in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company.





 


		b)	You acknowledge and agree that if the shareholders of the Company terminate your appointment, you
will have no claim of any kind against the Company by reason of the termination.





 


		c)	You are at liberty to terminate the appointment at any time by notice in writing to the Company.





 


		5.	What happens after termination of appointment? 

 





 


If
your appointment is terminated for any reason or you resign for any reason:


 


		a)	You will retain you vested options until the earlier of when you exercise them or the expiration
of their five year term;





 


		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

		6.	Prohibited Activities: 





 


		a)	You undertake to the Company that you will not during the term of your appointment engage in a
business or an activity that would place you in a position of conflict in respect of the performance of your duties.





 


		b)	The terms of your appointment do not restrict you from accepting appointment as a director
of any other company subject to the limitation below, providing consulting services or any other business or other activity whatsoever.
However, prior to accepting a Board position with a company in the cell based therapeutic or diagnostic industries, you will need
to obtain written approval from the Chairman of the Board of Directors, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The Company
acknowledges and accepts your current roles as a director. You recognize that the services to be performed by you under the Agreement
are special, unique and extraordinary. The parties confirm that it is reasonably necessary for the protection of the Company’s
goodwill that you agree, and accordingly, you do hereby agree and covenant, that during your term as director, you will not, directly
or indirectly, except for the benefit of the Company:



 


		i.	become an officer, director, more than 2% stockholder, partner, associate, employee, owner, proprietor,
agent, creditor, independent contractor, co-venturer or otherwise, or be interested in or associated with any other corporation,
firm or business engaged in the same or any similar business competitive with that of the Company (including the Company’s present
and future subsidiaries and affiliates) (the “Business”); or



 


		ii.	solicit, cause or authorize, directly or indirectly, to be solicited for or on behalf of himself
or third parties from parties who were customers of the Company (including its present and future subsidiaries and affiliates)
at any time during your term, any business similar to the business transacted by the Company with such customer; or



 


		iii.	accept or cause or authorize, directly or indirectly, to be accepted for or on behalf of your or
third parties, business from any such customers of the Company (including its present and future subsidiaries and affiliates);
or



 


		iv.	solicit, or cause or authorize, directly or indirectly, to be solicited for employment for or on
behalf of you or third parties, any persons who were at any time during your term hereunder, employees of the Company (including
its present and future subsidiaries and affiliates); or



 


		v.	employ or cause or authorize, directly or indirectly, to be employed for or on behalf of yourself
or third parties, any such employees of the Company (including its present and future subsidiaries and affiliates); or



 


		vi.	use the tradenames, trademarks, or trade dress of any of the products of the Company (including
its present and future subsidiaries and affiliates); or any substantially similar tradename, trademark or trade dress likely to
cause, or having the effect of causing, confusion in the minds of manufacturers, customers, suppliers and retail outlets and the
public generally.



 


You acknowledge the intention that
the Company shall have the broadest possible protection of the value of its business consistent with public policy, and it will
not violate the intent of the parties if any court should determine that, consistent with established precedent of the forum state,
the public policy of such state requires a more limited restriction in geographical area or duration of the aforesaid covenant
not to compete, contained in an appropriate decree.
