On
December 17, 2024, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) increased the size of the Board by one director,
pursuant to provisions in the second amended and restated articles of association of the Company, and approved the appointment of Mr.
Wenjin Li, age 45, as a director of the Company, effective December 17, 2024. Mr. Li accepted the position. Pursuant to the director
agreement between Mr. Li and the Company, Mr. Li shall hold such office until the director’s earlier death, disqualification, resignation
or removal from office in accordance with the director agreement, the second amended and restated memorandum and the second amended and
restated articles of association of the Company, or any applicable laws, rules, or regulations.
The
Board assessed the independence of Mr. Li under the Company’s corporate governance guidelines and the independence standards under
the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Nasdaq”) and has determined that Mr. Li is not independent.
Mr.
Li does not have any “family relationship” as defined in Item 401 of Regulation S-K. There is no arrangement or understanding,
pursuant to which Mr. Li was appointed as a director of the Company. Mr. Li is not related to any existing officer or director of the
Company. There are also no transactions or relationships between or among Mr. Li and the Company that would be required to be reported
under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
The
biographical information of Mr. Li is set forth below.
Mr.
Wenjin Li, age 45, has over 20 years of experience in business administration and sales and marketing. Mr. Li currently serves as general
manager of Xiamen Zhenghe Xinneng Digital Technology Co., Ltd, a position he has held since 2016. From 2007 to 2016, he was general manager
of FeiQuBuKe (Xiamen) Information Technology Co., Ltd. From 2004 to 2007, he was vice president of Jinan Dali Food Co., Ltd. From 2001
to 2004, he was sales manager of Tsingtao Brewery Group (Guangdong Company and Fujian Company). Mr. Li obtained a bachelor of business
management from Xiamen University in 2001.
In
connection with Mr. Li’s appointment as a director, the Company and Mr. Li entered into a director agreement and indemnification
agreement. Mr. Li will receive annual compensation of $15,000 for his membership on the Board. The agreement imposes certain duties
and customary confidentiality obligations on Mr. Li customary for the agreements of this nature. Mr. Li is also expected to abide by
and follow the Company’s code of business conduct and ethics. The foregoing description is merely a summary of the agreement and
therefore does not purport to be complete and the director and indemnification agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the complete text of the agreement, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

use of corporate assets or competition against the Company, the Director shall promptly disclose such potential conflict to the applicable

shall return to the Company any such property or documents which are in the Director’s possession, custody or control, but this
obligation of confidentiality shall survive such termination until and unless any such Confidential Information shall have become, through
no fault of the Director, generally known to the public. The obligations of the Director under this subsection are in addition to, and
not in limitation or preemption of, all other obligations of confidentiality which the Director may have to the Company under general
legal or equitable principles.

2.
Indemnification. Subject to Section 8 and Section 9 of this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee, to the
fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of New York in effect on the Effective Date, or as such laws may from time to time
hereafter be amended to increase the scope of such permitted indemnification, against any and all Losses if Indemnitee was or is or becomes
a party to or participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or participant in, any Claim by reason of or arising in part out
of an Indemnifiable Event, including, without limitation, Claims brought by or in the right of the Company, Claims brought by third parties,
and Claims in which the Indemnitee is solely a witness.
3.
Advancement of Expenses. Indemnitee shall have the right to advancement by the Company, prior to the final disposition of any Claim
by final adjudication to which there are no further rights of appeal, of any and all Expenses actually and reasonably paid or incurred
by Indemnitee in connection with any Claim arising out of an Indemnifiable Event at the written request of Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall
set forth in such request reasonable evidence that such Expenses have been paid or incurred by Indemnitee. Indemnitee’s right to
such advancement is not subject to the satisfaction of any standard of conduct. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing,
within thirty days after any request by Indemnitee, the Company shall, in accordance with such request, (a) pay such Expenses on behalf
of Indemnitee, (b) advance to Indemnitee funds in an amount sufficient to pay such Expenses, or (c) reimburse Indemnitee for such Expenses.
In connection with any request for Expense Advances, Indemnitee shall not be required to provide any documentation or information to
the extent that the provision thereof would undermine or otherwise jeopardize attorney-client privilege. The Company’s obligation
to pay Expense Advances to Indemnitee is contingent upon Indemnitee’s execution and delivery to the Company of an undertaking to
repay any amounts paid, advanced, or reimbursed by the Company for such Expenses to the extent that it is ultimately determined, following
the final disposition of such Claim, that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. Indemnitee’s obligation to reimburse
the Company for Expense Advances shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon.
4.
Indemnification for Expenses in Enforcing Rights. To the fullest extent allowable under applicable law, the Company shall also indemnify
Indemnitee against, and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall advance to Indemnitee subject to and in accordance with Section 3,
any Expenses actually and reasonably paid or incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action or proceeding by Indemnitee for (a)
indemnification or reimbursement or advance payment of Expenses by the Company under any provision of this Agreement, or under any other
agreement or provision of the Constituent Documents now or hereafter in effect relating to Claims relating to Indemnifiable Events, and/or
(b) recovery under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company. However, in the event
that Indemnitee is ultimately determined not to be entitled to such indemnification or insurance recovery, as the case may be, then all
amounts advanced under this Section 4 shall be repaid.
5.
Partial Indemnity. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for a portion
of any Losses in respect of a Claim related to an Indemnifiable Event but not for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless
indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.
6.
Notification and Defense of Claims.
(a)
Notification of Claims. Indemnitee shall notify the Company in writing as soon as practicable of any Claim which could relate to
an Indemnifiable Event or for which Indemnitee could seek Expense Advances, including a brief description (based upon information then
available to Indemnitee) of the nature of, and the facts underlying, such Claim. The failure by Indemnitee to timely notify the Company
hereunder shall not relieve the Company from any liability hereunder unless the Company’s ability to participate in the defense
of such claim was materially and adversely affected by such failure. If at the time of the receipt of such notice, the Company has directors’
and officers’ liability insurance in effect under which coverage for Claims related to Indemnifiable Events is potentially available,
the Company shall give prompt written notice to the applicable insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable
policies. The Company shall provide to Indemnitee a copy of such notice delivered to the applicable insurers, and copies of all subsequent
correspondence between the Company and such insurers regarding the Claim, in each case substantially concurrently with the delivery or
receipt thereof by the Company.
(b)
Defense of Claims. The Company shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Claim relating to an Indemnifiable Event at
its own expense and, except as otherwise provided below, to the extent the Company so wishes, it may assume the defense thereof with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee. After notice from the Company to Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of any
such Claim, the Company shall not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise for any Expenses subsequently directly incurred
by Indemnitee in connection with Indemnitee’s defense of such Claim other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise
provided below. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own legal counsel in such Claim, but all Expenses related to such counsel
incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense shall be at Indemnitee’s own expense; provided, however,
that if (i) Indemnitee’s employment of its own legal counsel has been authorized by the Company, (ii) Indemnitee has reasonably
determined that there may be a conflict of interest between Indemnitee and the Company in the defense of such Claim, (iii) after a Change
in Control, Indemnitee’s employment of its own counsel has been approved by the Independent Counsel or (iv) the Company shall not
in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Claim, then Indemnitee shall be entitled to retain its own separate counsel
(but not more than one law firm) and all Expenses related to such separate counsel shall be borne by the Company.
7.
Procedure upon Application for Indemnification. In order to obtain indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit
to the Company a written request therefor, including in such request such documentation and information as is reasonably available to
Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification following the
final disposition of the Claim. Indemnification shall be made insofar as the Company determines Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification
in accordance with Section 8 below.
8.
Determination of Right to Indemnification.
(a)
Mandatory Indemnification; Indemnification as a Witness.
(i)
To the extent that Indemnitee shall have been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Claim relating to an Indemnifiable
Event or any portion thereof or in defense of any issue or matter therein, including without limitation dismissal without prejudice,
Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Losses relating to such Claim in accordance with Section 2 to the fullest extent allowable
by law, and no Standard of Conduct Determination (as defined in Section 8(b)) shall be required.
(ii)
To the extent that Indemnitee’s involvement in a Claim relating to an Indemnifiable Event is to prepare to serve and serve as a
witness, and not as a party, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Losses incurred in connection therewith to the fullest extent
allowable by law and no Standard of Conduct Determination (as defined in Section 8(b)) shall be required.
(b)
Standard of Conduct. To the extent that the provisions of Section 8(a) are inapplicable to a Claim related to an Indemnifiable
Event that shall have been finally disposed of, any determination of whether Indemnitee has satisfied any applicable standard of conduct
under New York law that is a legally required condition to indemnification of Indemnitee hereunder against Losses relating to such Claim
and any determination that Expense Advances must be repaid to the Company (a “Standard of Conduct Determination”)
shall be made as follows:
(i)
if no Change in Control has occurred, (A) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even if less than a quorum of the Board,
(B) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum
or (C) if there are no such Disinterested Directors, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion addressed to the Board, a copy of which
shall be delivered to Indemnitee; and
(ii)
if a Change in Control shall have occurred, (A) if the Indemnitee so requests in writing, by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors,
even if less than a quorum of the Board or (B) otherwise, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion addressed to the Board, a copy
of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee.
(c)
Making the Standard of Conduct Determination. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any Standard of
Conduct Determination required under Section 8(b) to be made as promptly as practicable. If the person or persons designated to
make the Standard of Conduct Determination under Section 8(b) shall not have made a determination within thirty days after the
later of (A) receipt by the Company of a written request from Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 7 (the date of
such receipt being the “Notification Date”) and (B) the selection of an Independent Counsel, if such determination
is to be made by Independent Counsel, then Indemnitee shall be deemed to have satisfied the applicable standard of conduct; provided
that such 30-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, if the person or persons making such determination in good faith requires
such additional time to obtain or evaluate information relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
no determination as to entitlement of Indemnitee to indemnification under this Agreement shall be required to be made prior to the final
disposition of any Claim.
(d)
Payment of Indemnification. If, in regard to any Losses:
(i)
Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8(a);
(ii)
no Standard Conduct Determination is legally required as a condition to indemnification of Indemnitee hereunder; or
(iii)
Indemnitee has been determined or deemed pursuant to Section 8(b) or Section 8(c) to have satisfied the Standard of Conduct
Determination,
then
the Company shall pay to Indemnitee, within thirty days after the later of (A) the Notification Date or (B) the earliest date on which
the applicable criterion specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) is satisfied, an amount equal to such Losses.
(e)
Selection of Independent Counsel for Standard of Conduct Determination. If a Standard of Conduct Determination is to be made by
Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 8(b)(i), the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board, and the Company shall
give written notice to Indemnitee advising of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. If a Standard of Conduct Determination
is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 8(b)(ii), the Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee, and
Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either case,
Indemnitee or the Company, as applicable, may, within five days after receiving written notice of selection from the other, deliver to
the other a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent
Counsel so selected does not satisfy the criteria set forth in the definition of “Independent Counsel” in Section 1,
and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person
or firm so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is properly and timely made and substantiated, (i) the
Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined
that such objection is without merit; and (ii) the non-objecting party may, at its option, select an alternative Independent Counsel
and give written notice to the other party advising such other party of the identity of the alternative Independent Counsel so selected,
in which case the provisions of the two immediately preceding sentences, the introductory clause of this sentence and numbered clause
(i) of this sentence shall apply to such subsequent selection and notice. If applicable, the provisions of clause (ii) of the immediately
preceding sentence shall apply to successive alternative selections. If no Independent Counsel that is permitted under the foregoing
provisions of this Section 8(e) to make the Standard of Conduct Determination shall have been selected within twenty days after
the Company gives its initial notice pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 8(e) or Indemnitee gives its initial notice
pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 8(e), as the case may be, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition a court
of competent jurisdiction to resolve any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection
of Independent Counsel and/or to appoint as Independent Counsel a person to be selected by such court or such other person as the court
shall designate, and the person or firm with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person or firm so appointed will act
as Independent Counsel. In all events, the Company shall pay all of the reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Counsel incurred
in connection with the Independent Counsel’s determination pursuant to Section 8(b).
(f)
Presumptions and Defenses.
(i)
Indemnitee’s Entitlement to Indemnification. In making any Standard of Conduct Determination, the person or persons making
such determination shall presume that Indemnitee has satisfied the applicable standard of conduct and is entitled to indemnification,
and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption and establish that Indemnitee is not so entitled. Any Standard
of Conduct Determination that is adverse to Indemnitee may be challenged by the Indemnitee in a court of competent jurisdiction. No determination
by the Company (including by its directors or any Independent Counsel) that Indemnitee has not satisfied any applicable standard of conduct
may be used as a defense to any legal proceedings brought by Indemnitee to secure indemnification or reimbursement or advance payment
of Expenses by the Company hereunder or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct.
(ii)
Reliance as a Safe Harbor. For purposes of this Agreement, and without creating any presumption as to a lack of good faith if the
following circumstances do not exist, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company if Indemnitee’s actions or omissions to act are taken in good faith
reliance upon the records of the Company, including its financial statements, or upon information, opinions, reports or statements furnished
to Indemnitee by the officers or employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in the course of their duties, or by committees
of the Board or by any other Person (including legal counsel, accountants and financial advisors) as to matters Indemnitee reasonably
believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or
on behalf of the Company. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failures to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee
of the Company shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnity hereunder.
(iii)
No Other Presumptions. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement (whether with
or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, will not create a presumption that Indemnitee
did not meet any applicable standard of conduct or have any particular belief, or that indemnification hereunder is otherwise not permitted.
(iv)
Defense to Indemnification and Burden of Proof. It shall be a defense to any action brought by Indemnitee against the Company to
enforce this Agreement (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for Losses incurred in defending against a Claim related to an
Indemnifiable Event in advance of its final disposition) that it is not permissible under applicable law for the Company to indemnify
Indemnitee for the amount claimed. In connection with any such action or any related Standard of Conduct Determination, the burden of
proving such a defense or that the Indemnitee did not satisfy the applicable standard of conduct shall be on the Company.
(v)
Resolution of Claims. The Company acknowledges that a settlement or other disposition short of final judgment may be successful
on the merits or otherwise for purposes of Section 8(a)(i) if it permits a party to avoid expense, delay, distraction, disruption
and uncertainty. In the event that any Claim relating to an Indemnifiable Event to which Indemnitee is a party is resolved in any manner
other than by adverse judgment against Indemnitee (including, without limitation, settlement of such action, claim or proceeding with
our without payment of money or other consideration) it shall be presumed that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise
for purposes of Section 8(a)(i). The Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome this presumption.
9.
Exclusions from Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to:
(a)
indemnify or advance funds to Indemnitee for Expenses or Losses with respect to proceedings initiated by Indemnitee, including any proceedings
against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees and not by way of defense, except:
(i)
proceedings referenced in Section 4 above (unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions
made by Indemnitee in such proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous); or
(ii)
where the Company has joined in or the Board has consented to the initiation of such proceedings;
(b)
indemnify Indemnitee if a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such indemnification is prohibited by applicable
law;
(c)
indemnify Indemnitee for the disgorgement of profits arising from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities of the Company in
violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or any similar successor statute; or
(d)
indemnify or advance funds to Indemnitee for Indemnitee’s reimbursement to the Company of any bonus or other incentive-based or
equity-based compensation previously received by Indemnitee or payment of any profits realized by Indemnitee from the sale of securities
of the Company, as required in each case under the Exchange Act (including any such reimbursements under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002 in connection with an accounting restatement of the Company or the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase
or sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act).
10.
Settlement of Claims. The Company shall not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any
threatened or pending Claim related to an Indemnifiable Event effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall not settle any Claim related to an Indemnifiable Event in any manner that would impose
any Losses on the Indemnitee without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent.
11.
Duration. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period that Indemnitee is a director
or officer of the Company (or is serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, member, trustee or agent of
another Enterprise) and shall continue thereafter (i) so long as Indemnitee may be subject to any possible Claim relating to an Indemnifiable
Event (including any rights of appeal thereto) and (ii) throughout the pendency of any proceeding (including any rights of appeal thereto)
commenced by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret his or her rights under this Agreement, even if, in either case, he or she may have ceased
to serve in such capacity at the time of any such Claim or proceeding.
12.
Non-Exclusivity. The rights of Indemnitee hereunder will be in addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have under the Constituent
Documents, the New York Business Corporation Law, any other contract or otherwise (collectively, “Other Indemnity Provisions”);
provided, however, that (a) to the extent that Indemnitee otherwise would have any greater right to indemnification under any Other Indemnity
Provision, Indemnitee will be deemed to have such greater right hereunder and (b) to the extent that any change is made to any Other
Indemnity Provision which permits any greater right to indemnification than that provided under this Agreement as of the Effective Date,
Indemnitee will be deemed to have such greater right hereunder.
13.
Liability Insurance. The Company shall from time to time make the good faith determination whether or not it is practicable for the
Company to obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance providing the officers and directors of the Company with coverage for
losses incurred in connection with their services to the Company or to ensure the Company’s performance of its indemnification
obligations under this Agreement. To the extent the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing directors’ and
officers’ liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies, in accordance with its or their terms, to
the maximum extent of the coverage available for any of the Company’s directors or officers, as applicable. Upon reasonable request,
the Company will provide to Indemnitee copies of all directors’ and officers’ liability insurance applications, binders,
policies, declarations and endorsements.
14.
No Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment to Indemnitee in respect of
any Losses to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise received payment under any insurance policy, the Constituent Documents, Other Indemnity
Provisions or otherwise of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable by the Company hereunder.
15.
Subrogation. In the event of payment to Indemnitee under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment
to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall execute all documents required and shall do everything that may be necessary
to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce
such rights.
16.
Amendments. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the
parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding unless in the form of a writing signed by the party
against whom enforcement of the waiver is sought, and no such waiver shall operate as a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether
or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. Except as specifically provided herein, no failure to exercise
or any delay in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall constitute a waiver thereof.
17.
Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their
respective successors (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially
all of the business and/or assets of the Company), assigns, spouses, heirs and personal and legal representatives. The Company shall
require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all
or a substantial part of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement, to assume and agree to perform this Agreement
in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.
18.
Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable in the event that any of the provisions hereof (including any portion
thereof) are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or otherwise unenforceable, and the remaining provisions
shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
