Subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall cause the Director to be appointed, and the Director hereby agrees to serve the Company in such position upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Director's continued service on the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") after the initial one-year term on the Board shall be subject to any necessary approval by the Company's stockholders.
