In addition to serving as a member of the Board of Directors, the Director shall, in a non- director capacity, oversee all matters related to biochar supply, specifications, and carbon credit eligibility.

The Director shall determine in his sole discretion how many hours per month to devote to such additional services, and he shall not receive any additional compensation for such services. The Director is expected to attend monthly board meetings, either virtually or in person, and to act in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, in accordance with the Director's fiduciary duties, including by participating in the voting on board resolutions and by reviewing and determining whether or not to execute written consents.

4. Reimbursement of Expenses

The Company will cover all reasonable travel-related costs directly related to the Director's duties, including but not limited to transportation, lodging, and meals, in accordance with the Company's expense policy. All such expenses must be pre- approved by the Company.

The Company shall provide Director & Officer ("D&O") insurance coverage for the Director, consistent with the coverage provided to other members of the Board, for the duration of the Director's tenure.

6. Tax Filing Responsibility

The Director shall be responsible for the payment of any and all taxes owed on the compensation received under this Agreement, including but not limited to taxes related to the issuance of Rule 144 shares. The Director shall be solely responsible for filing any necessary tax returns and complying with all applicable tax laws.

7. Confidentiality and Trade Secrets

The Director agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all confidential information, proprietary data, and trade secrets related to Verde Resources, both during and after the term of this Agreement. The Director further agrees not to disclose, use, or permit the use of any such confidential information for personal or third-party gain. This includes but is not limited to information related to Biochar production processes, supply chains, specifications, and carbon credit strategies.

8. Non-Compete

During the term of this Agreement, and for a period of five (5) years following its termination or expiration, the Director shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in, participate in, or assist any business that competes with Verde Resources in the field of sustainable building materials that the Company has successfully proven or commercialized and that are capable of generating carbon credits.

This non-compete obligation is specifically limited to finished products developed by Verde utilizing proprietary trade secrets involving biochar, including but not limited to biochar-enhanced asphalt and biochar-based soil stabilization technologies. The Director shall also refrain from soliciting, engaging, or attempting to engage Verde's clients, suppliers, or key strategic partners for any competitive purpose during this period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Director may engage in ancillary business activities that do not directly compete with Verde's core products or solutions. For example, collaboration with third parties, such as the National Center for Asphalt Technology ("NCAT")-whom the Director was introduced to through Verde's network-for applications such as the use of biochar in toxic water runoff treatment, shall not constitute a breach of this provision.

Furthermore, in acknowledgment of the Director's concurrent role as Chief Operating Officer of Oregon Biochar Solutions ("OBS"), nothing in this provision shall be construed to prohibit the Director or OBS from continuing existing sales or fulfilling contractual obligations to current clients, provided that such activities do not involve or directly compete with Verde's core products or proprietary technologies.

This non-compete clause shall automatically become null and void in the event that the Company enters bankruptcy proceedings or is acquired by another entity.
