his employment with Fuling, Employee shall devote his full time, attention, and best efforts to the operations of Fuling and the
fulfillment of his duties. Employee agrees that, during his employment with Fuling, he will exercise the highest degree of loyalty

all services rendered by Employee to Fuling, Fuling shall pay Employee an base gross annual salary of One Hundred Twenty Thousand
Dollars ($120,000). Employee’s annual gross salary will be paid to Employee in accordance with Fuling’s standard payroll
policies and practices, beginning with the first regularly scheduled pay date following the Effective Date of this Agreement. Employee

addition to the base salary, Employee shall be awarded ownership of shares of stock in Fuling amounting in the aggregate to one-half
percent (0.5%) of the final outstanding shares after Fuling’s initial public offering (“Shares”), provided Employee
remains employed by Fuling under this Agreement at the time of each issuance described herein. Nothing in this section shall be
construed to guarantee continued employment to Employee. Twenty percent (20%) of such Shares shall be granted to Employee upon
the conclusion of the initial public offering of FGI and each anniversary of the conclusion of the initial public offering of FGI,
until all such Shares have been issued to Employee. Employee acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Shares shall be subject to the

5.           Additional
Benefits.


 


(a)          Subject
to meeting the eligibility requirements to participate in such plans under the terms and conditions established by the plans, Employee
shall be eligible to participate in all employee benefits programs provided by Fuling to its employees, as such may be established
and modified from time to time in the discretion of Fuling. However, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to
obligate Fuling in any manner to maintain any existing plans, put into effect any plans not presently in existence, or provide
special benefits to Employee.


 


(b)          During
the term of this Agreement, Employee shall be entitled to a total of four (4) weeks of paid vacation leave per year. Employee understands
and agrees that all vacation time shall be approved by the Chief Executive Officer before Employee takes such leave. Employee’s
ability to carry over unused vacation leave from year to year and to receive payment for unused vacation leave upon termination
of employment shall be governed by Fuling’s policies in existence at the time of such occurrence.


 


6.           Indemnity.

settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings to which Employee
is party or are threatened to be made a party by reason of Employee acting as the Chief Financial Officer. To be entitled to indemnification,
Employee must have acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interest of Fuling and, in the case of criminal proceedings,
Employee must have had no reasonable cause to believe Employee’s conduct was unlawful. Such limitation of liability does
not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not limit Employee’s
liability under United States federal securities laws.


 


7.           Termination.


 


(a)          Either
party may terminate this Agreement at any time, for any reason or for no reason, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days’
written notice to the other party.


 


(b)          Notwithstanding
Paragraph 7(a) above, Employee’s employment with Fuling shall terminate immediately upon: (i) the death, disability, or adjudication
of legal incompetence of Employee; (ii) Fuling’s ceasing to carry on its business without assigning this Agreement; or (iii)
Fuling becoming bankrupt. For purposes of this Agreement, Employee shall be deemed to be disabled when Employee has become unable,
by reason of physical or mental disability, to satisfactorily perform the essential functions of his job and there is no reasonable
accommodation that can be provided to enable him to perform satisfactorily those essential functions. Such matters shall be determined
by, or to the reasonable satisfaction of, Fuling.

(c)          Notwithstanding
Paragraph 7(a) above, Fuling may immediately terminate this Agreement for cause, effective upon the provision of notice to Employee,
for the following reasons: (i) Employee’s repeated failure to satisfactorily and substantially perform his duties as an employee

of or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to any felony or any other crime involving theft, dishonesty, or fraudulent conduct; or
(viii) breach of Employee’s obligations under this Agreement.


 


(d)          In
the event Employee’s employment with Fuling is terminated by Employee or Employer for any or no reason, Fuling shall pay

8.           Employee
Covenants.


 


(a)          Non-Disclosure
and Return of Confidential Information.


 


(i)          Employee
acknowledges that, as an employee of Fuling, Employee will be provided access to, and may develop or assist in developing on Fuling’s
behalf, confidential and proprietary information and trade secrets. As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information”
shall be deemed to include, but shall not be limited to, information and materials related to Fuling’s business procedures,
methods, and manufacturing processes for producing its products; marketing plans and strategies; customer lists, business histories,

customer lists; pricing of goods sold, margins, and sales strategies; accounting, operational, organizational, and financial data,
processes, and services; technical know-how; research and development; proprietary computer software and hardware; and any other
information that is not generally known to the public or within the industry in which Fuling competes. “Confidential Information”
shall also be deemed to include information or material received by Fuling from others and intended by them to be kept in confidence
by its recipients. “Confidential Information” shall not include Employee’s general skills and knowledge concerning
general business practices not specific to Fuling’s business, nor shall it include information that has become widely disseminated
and generally available to the public through no wrongful act or omission on the part of Employee.


 


(ii)         At
all times during and after employment with Fuling, Employee shall take all reasonable steps necessary to preserve the confidential
and proprietary nature of Confidential Information and to prevent the inadvertent or accidental disclosure of Confidential Information.
Employee will not use, disclose, transfer, or make available any Confidential Information other than: (i) as required by the proper
performance of Employee’s duties for Fuling; (ii) as authorized by Fuling; and (iii) as required by an order or subpoena
from a court of competent jurisdiction and/or administrative agency, provided that, prior to such disclosure, Employee promptly
notifies Fuling so that Fuling may take appropriate action with such court or agency to protect its Confidential Information. Employee
will not remove any Confidential Information from Fuling’s premises or make copies of such materials except for use in Fuling’s
business. Employee shall not retain any tangible, intangible, or electronic copies of any Confidential Information after the termination
of his employment with Fuling for any reason.


 




    	 	4	 



     

    

 


(iii)        If
part of the Confidential Information is known by public, but other parts or the whole is not public knowledge yet, the whole Confidential
Information still has confidential value. Employee agrees to have non-disclosure covenant for such Confidential Information. Employee
shall not disclose such information directly or indirectly, or solicit any third party to put together Confidential Information
by collecting the public part(s).


 


(iv)        During
his employment with Fuling, for the interest of Fuling, Employee shall promptly report to Fuling the Confidential Information arising
out of work, submit a written report, and assist Fuling to obtain the right of such information. Such Confidential Information
shall be owned Fuling exclusively. During employment with Fuling, employee shall fully disclose all of his conceptions about Fuling’s
business to Fuling.


 


(v)         The
compensation paid to Employee by Fuling has included all the consideration for Employee to perform the covenants in Paragraph 8(a).


 


(vi)        Employee
warrants that, unless Employee has stated to Fuling in writing, Employee’s usage or disclosure of any confidential information
during employment with Fuling does not violate any confidentiality agreement between Employee and any previous employer or other
party. No matter if Employee is bound by such confidentiality agreement, Employee shall not disclose it to Fuling, or solicit Fuling
to use any confidential information of Employee’s any previous employer or other party.


 


(b)          Non-Compete.


 


(i)          Employee
acknowledges that, during the course of his employment, Employee will be granted access to and may develop or assist in developing
Fuling’s Confidential Information and goodwill. Employee recognizes and agrees that in light of his extensive access to and
knowledge of such Confidential Information and in order to protect Fuling’s goodwill with its customers, Fuling has a reasonable
and legitimate interest in protecting itself from unfair competition as set forth in subsection (ii).


 


(ii)         Non-Compete
Period is the course of employment with Fuling and a period of two (2) years after Employee’s
employment with Fuling ceases (whether voluntarily or involuntarily and for whatever reason) . During the Non-Compete Period, Employee
shall not, on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, compete with Fuling by engaging in
a position where Employee holds any registered or beneficial ownership/stock interest, or as its employee, consultant, management,
director or other capacity, holds any interest of any company or entity that competes with
the goods and services provided by Fuling, or helps or assists such company by any way; (ii) usurp business opportunities provided
by other parties to Fuling, use Fuling’s resources to create any business opportunity for himself; take commission fee related
to Fuling’s transactions, sign contracts or conduct transactions with Fuling without proper approval under internal rules
of Fuling; or conduct other actions detrimental to Fuling’s interests and/or competitive position, (iii) use any of Fuling’s
names, any other name that Fuling uses to operate business, or any similar name, or use such name to build or create any entrepreneur
entity, organization or domain name, or use it in any other way without written consent of Fuling, or (iv) call himself employee
of Fuling or related with Fuling in any way, after termination of his employment with Fuling. This restriction shall only
apply within any geographic area serviced by Employee for Fuling at any time during the one (1) year period preceding Employee’s
termination of employment.


 




    	 	5	 



     

    

 


(iii)        During
the Non-Compete Period, if Employee continues performing all the covenants in Paragraph 8(b), Fuling will pay Employee compensation.
The calculation of such compensation is: if Employee continues performing non-compete covenant within twenty (24) months after
the termination of employment, Fuling will pay Employee compensation equaling to six (6)
months of base salary prior to the termination of employment and pay it month by month. Employee confirms that such compensation
is enough and reasonable. Employee further agrees that Fuling has the right at its sole discretion to choose to pay consideration
for Employee to perform the covenants in Paragraph 8(b), or choose to cease payment of consideration to waive Employee’s
covenants in Paragraph 8(b). Fuling has the right at its sole discretion to require Employee to continue to perform the non-compete
covenant (but the term shall not exceed 24 months after the termination of the employment).


 


(iv)        The
benefits obtained (including already obtained or agreed to obtain) by Employee through conducting restricted actions in the Non-Compete
Period shall belong to Fuling.


 


(c)          Non-Solicitation
of Customers. Employee specifically agrees that, at all times during his employment with
Fuling and for a period of two (2) years Employee will not solicit or offer to any Customer of Fuling any goods or services that
compete with the goods or services provided by Fuling. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Customer” means: (i)
any person or entity that contracted with Fuling for goods or services at any time during the twelve (12) month period preceding
the Employee's termination of employment; and (ii) any person or entity to whom Fuling made a proposal or presentation for the
provision of goods or services at any time during the six (6) month period preceding Employee’s termination of employment.
Except as set forth in Paragraph 8(b), this restriction is not intended to prohibit Employee from providing goods or services to
persons or entities who are not Customers of Company.


 


(d)          Non-Solicitation
of Employees. Employee specifically agrees that, at all times during his employment with Fuling and for a period of two (2)
years after Employee’s employment with Fuling ceases (whether voluntarily or involuntarily and for whatever reason), Employee
shall not, on Employee’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, hire, recruit, solicit for employment, or
assist in solicitation or hiring any other employee who works for Fuling. This includes, but is not limited to: (i) providing to
any such prospective employer the identities of any of Fuling’s employees; (ii) providing to any such prospective employer
information about the quantity of work, quality of work, special knowledge, or personal characteristics of any person who is still
employed at the Fuling at the time such information is provided; and/or (iii) assisting any of Fuling’s employees in obtaining
employment with any such prospective employer through the dissemination of resumes and applications, or otherwise. Employee also
specifically agrees that he will not provide the information set forth in subparts (i), (ii), or (iii) above to any prospective

Property.


 


(i)          Employee

by him and arising out of Employee’s employment at all times during his employment with Fuling and for a period of one (1)

with others. All the inventions, completed prior to the employment with Fuling, and owned by Employee, or although owned by third
party but Employee can use within the scope of agreement, are called Prior Inventions. If no exhibit discloses such inventions,
it deems that Employee states such Prior Invention does not exist. If, during his employment with Fuling, Employee uses any Prior
Invention on products, service, procedure, or machine equipment of Fuling, Fuling automatically gets non-exclusive, free, irrevocable,
permanent and global license (including sublicensing to others through different levels of sublicense) to produce, modify, use
and sell such Prior Invention. In light of the foregoing, Employee agrees that, without prior written consent of Fuling, Employee
shall not use any Prior Invention which has been used on Fuling’s products or service, or authorize others to use.


 


(v)         During
his employment with Fuling, Employee confirms the compensation paid from Fuling to Employee fully covers the work for enforcing

claim or challenge the ownership of “works made for hire.”


 


(vi)        Employee

be restricted by the termination of employment with Fuling.

(f)          Return
of Company Property.


 


Upon the request of
Fuling or upon the termination of Employee’s employment with Fuling for any reason, Employee shall return to Fuling: (a)
all Confidential Information; (b) all other records, designs, patents, business plans, financial statements, manuals, memoranda,
lists, correspondence, reports, records, charts, advertising materials, and other data or property delivered to or compiled by
Employee by or on behalf of Fuling or its operating subsidiaries, or their representatives, vendors, or customers that pertain
to Fuling’s business, whether in paper, electronic, or other form; and (c) all keys, credit cards, computers, telephones,
PDA’s, equipment, and other property of Fuling. Employee shall not retain or cause to be retained any copies of the foregoing.
Employee hereby agrees that all of the foregoing shall be and remain the property of Fuling, and be subject, at all times to its
discretion and control.


 


(g)          Enforcement.


 


(i)          Employee
and Fuling have examined in detail the covenants and restrictions set forth in Paragraph 8 (including all subsections) of this
Agreement and agree that the restraints imposed upon Employee are reasonable in light of the legitimate interests of Fuling and
are not unduly restrictive of Employee’s ability to earn a living following the termination of his employment.


 


(ii)         Employee
understands and agrees that the covenants and restrictions set forth in Paragraph 8 (including all subsections) of this Agreement
survive the termination of his employment (regardless of the reason) and remain binding and enforceable against him according to
the restrictions’ respective terms.


 


(iii)        If
any of the covenants contained in Paragraph 8 (including all subsections) of this Agreement are held by a court or other enforcement
authority to be overly broad by reason of time period, geography or scope, the court shall modify any time period, geography or
scope deemed overly broad to the maximum time period, geography or scope that such court or other enforcement authority finds reasonable
and enforceable in light of all the circumstances present at the time such determination is made and this Agreement shall be deemed
to be amended at such time to reflect such determination.


 


(iv)        Employee
agrees that a breach by him of any of the covenants and restrictions set forth in Paragraph 8 (including all subsections) of this
Agreement will result in irreparable injury to Fuling for which a remedy at law shall be insufficient. Employee agrees that in
the event of a breach or threatened breach of such covenants, Fuling shall be entitled to temporary, preliminary, and permanent
injunctive relief without the need to prove irreparable harm and without the necessity of placing a bond for such injunction. The
application of any form of injunctive relief shall not make any other legal or equitable remedy unavailable.


 


(v)         In
the event that the Employee is found by a court or other enforcement authority to have breached any of the covenants and restrictions
set forth in Paragraph 8 (including all subsections) of this Agreement, then the time periods set forth in such restrictions, if
any, shall automatically be extended by the length of time which Employee shall have been in breach of any of said provisions.
