This offer is submitted to you with the understanding that you will comply with the Company’s then applicable policies, codes

Appointment
Letter for Independent Non-Executive Director

 

We
are pleased to confirm in writing the terms of your appointment (your “Appointment”) as a non-executive director
of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Brooge Holdings Limited (the “Company”).

 

	1.	APPOINTMENT
	 	 
	1.1.	Your
                                         Appointment will start immediately following, and is conditional on, the consummation
                                         of the Mergers as such term is defined in the Business Combination Agreement (as amended)
                                         dated 15 April 2019. This letter will constitute a contract for services and not a contract
                                         of employment.

	 	 
	

        1.2.
	You
    may be requested to serve on one or more the committees (each a “Committee”)  of the Board.  You
    will be provided with the relevant Committee charters (each such  Committee  charter  a  “Charter”)
    on your appointment to any such Committee.
	 	 
	

        1.3.
	The
    Appointment is subject to the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association ("Articles") and nothing
    in this letter shall be taken to exclude or vary the terms of the Articles as they apply to your Appointment.

 

	1.4.	The
    continuation of the Appointment is contingent to your ongoing fulfillment of your obligations and successful re-election by
    the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s Annual General Meeting (the “AGM”). It is further
    subject to your agreement to apply yourself and discharge your duties in accordance with the Articles of the Company and the
    Cayman Islands Company Law ("Company Law"), as well as you upholding the high standards of corporate governance
    of the Nasdaq Capital Market, including without limitation, those set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5600 Series.

 

	2	DATE
                                         OF COMMENCEMENT AND TERM

 

	2.1	The
                                         official commencement date of your Appointment (the “Effective Date”)
                                         shall be 20 December 2019. Subject to the terms of Termination set forth in Section 8
                                         and the re-election by the Company’s shareholders at the AGM as set forth in Section
                                         1.4, the term of this Appointment shall be 3 years from the Effective Date (the “Term”).

 

	3	DUTIES
                                         AND RESPONSIBILITIES

 

	3.1	You
                                         will be expected to devote such time as is necessary for the proper performance of your
                                         duties. The nature of the role makes it impossible to be specific about the maximum time
                                         commitment. In general, the Board is expected to meet no less than four times per year
                                         and each committee is expected to meet between three and four times per year. At certain
                                         times it may be necessary to convene additional Board, committee or shareholder meetings.
                                         Additionally, it may be necessary to meet with non-executive directors without management
                                         present.

	3.2	You
                                         may be sought to engage in ad hoc strategic discussions that may require you reviewing
                                         and execution of documents pertinent to Board decisions. Such meetings shall take place
                                         in person, or by telephone conferencing, at a sensible time of day in relation to your

                                         its shareholders and others. As a non-executive director you shall have the same general
                                         legal responsibilities to the Company as any other director. You are expected to perform
                                         your duties (whether statutory, fiduciary or common law) faithfully, diligently and to
                                         a standard commensurate with the functions of your role and your knowledge, skills and
                                         experience.

  

	3.4	You
                                         will exercise your powers and discharge your duties as a director having regard to the
                                         relevant obligations under prevailing law and regulation, including the Cayman Islands
                                         Company Law, U.S. securities laws and while in pursuit of and subsequent to the listing
                                         of any Company securities on any tier of The Nasdaq Stock Market, also the rules stipulated
                                         by The Nasdaq Stock Market; including but not limited to the Listing Rule 5600 Series.

                                         of the Articles or the respective Committee Charters, you are not permitted to vote on
                                         any resolution of the Board or Committee, as may be applicable, and shall recuse yourself
