BOARD MEMBER CONTRACT

 

I,                                  , am in good moral character and good standing, and understand that as an Independent Member of the Board of Directors (“Board”) of L & L Energy, Inc., a publicly traded company under the symbol “LLEN” (“L&L” or the “Company”), I have a legal and ethical responsibility to ensure to the best of my abilities that the Company pursues its goals to enhance the value of shareholders (Mission of L&L).  I believe in the Mission of the Company, and I will act responsibly and prudently as its steward. I will follow L&L’s Code of Ethics and all regulatory requirements. If I do not know the requirement, I will spend the necessary time and effort to learn them.

 

I understand that my term as a Member of the Board is the earlier of one year or until the next annual shareholders’ meeting, at which my one year term expires and I will be subject to re-election.

 

As an Independent Member, I may be appointed as Chair and/or member of Board Committees including but not limited to Nominations, Compensation, Audit and/or Clean Energy; and I will allocate my time and resources to ensure my contributions to the Committees and to the Chairman.

 

I understand the current annual compensation for Members of the Board of Directors is US $40,000 (prorated if less than one year of service). If I serve as a Committee Chair an additional $5,000 annually will be paid to me, prorated.  Payment will be made 80% in cash and 20% in stock for Independent Members and 50% in cash and 50% in stock for Non-Independent Members. 

 

Compensation is subject to change by the L&L Compensation Committee, and the Company will notify me of any changes.

 

  I agree that my responsibilities as a Member of the Board will include:

 

1.      I will abide by the Company’s Code of Conduct and Ethics (See Exhibit I) which is also available on the L&L website.

2.      I will hold myself to high standards by updating my professional development, and I am confident that my expertise will make contributions to the Board and meet the Company’s Mission.

3.      I will support the Chair and other Members in a straight forward fashion and spend a substantial time to guide the Chairman and CEO (Dickson Lee). 

4.      I will actively participate in meetings and committees; and outside of meeting times give clear and concise direction and advice to the Chairman and CEO.

 


 

 

5.      I will report any conflicts or potential conflicts of my activities relating to both L&L and outside activities, to the Board Chairman in writing, currents outside activities are attached (See Exhibit II).

6.      I will act in the best interests of the Company, and recuse myself from discussions and votes where I have a conflict of interest, and avoid Insider Trading Violations.

7.      I will stay informed about current events in the Company, including following L&L’s developments on the Company website.  After I have exhausted my own resources, I will ask questions and request information. I will participate in and take responsibility for making decisions on issues, policies, and other Board matters.

8.      I will work in good faith with staff and other Board Members as partners towards achievement of our goals.  I will avoid any conflict or controversy that might reflect badly on L&L.

9.      If I cannot fulfill these commitments to the Company, I will resign.

 

In turn, the Company will be responsible to me in several ways:

 

1.      I will keep updated on quarterly financial reports and Company activities available on SEC and L&L websites that allow me to meet the “prudent person” standards of the law.

2.      The Company will maintain Directors & Officers Insurance at a level appropriate for the Company’s activities; and such insurance will be reviewed by the Board annually.  

3.      The Company will help me perform my duties by keeping me informed about issues in the industry and field in which we are working. 

4.      Board Members will respond in a straightforward fashion to questions that I feel are necessary to discharge my responsibilities as a Board Member to this Company. 

 

Signed:
