Dear Mr. Darsch:

GBS Enterprises Incorporated, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), is pleased to offer you a director position on its Board of Directors (the “Board”).

Should you choose to accept this position as a member of the Board, this letter shall constitute an agreement between you and the Company (the “Agreement”) and contains all the terms and conditions relating to the services you are to provide.

1.            Term. This Agreement shall be for the ensuing year, commencing on January 30, 2012 (the “Effective Date”). Your term as director shall continue until your successor is duly elected and qualified. The position shall be up for re-election each year at the annual shareholder’s meeting in accordance with the Company’s by-laws, and the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless you resign from or are not re-elected to or are dismissed from the position or unless otherwise revised on such terms as mutually agreed to by you and the Company.

2.            Services. You shall render services as a member of the Board, as well as a member of the Board’s Compensation/Corporate Governance committee, (hereinafter your “Duties”). During the term of this Agreement, you shall attend and participate in such number of meetings of the Board and of the committee(s) of which you are a member as regularly or specially called in accordance with the terms of the Company’s by-laws and/or the committee charters. You may attend and participate at each such meeting, via teleconference, video conference or in person. You shall consult with the other members of the Board and committee(s) regularly and as reasonably necessary via telephone, electronic mail or other reasonable forms of correspondence.

3.            Services for Others. You will be free to represent or perform services for other persons during the term of this Agreement. However, you agree that you do not presently perform and do not intend to perform, during the term of this Agreement, similar Duties, consulting or other services for companies whose businesses are or would be, in any way, directly competitive with the Company (except for companies previously disclosed by you to the Company in writing). Should you propose to perform similar Duties, consulting or other services for any such company, you agree to notify the Company in writing in advance (specifying the name of the organization for whom you propose to perform such services) and to provide information to the Company sufficient to allow it to determine if the performance of such services would conflict with areas of interest to the Company. 

4.            Compensation. In consideration for your service as a member of the Board, you shall receive cash compensation of $10,000.00 per calendar year of service, payable on a quarterly basis by the fifteenth of each April, July, October and January of each year, and prorated for partial time periods plus additional compensation as described in the attached Board Compensation Plan which might be amended from time to time. Additionally, you shall, for each year of service, be granted an option (the “Option”) under the Company’s 2011 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) to purchase up to 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), at a price per share equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) exercisable for a period of three (3) years from the Option grant date, and for each successive option grant the per share exercise price shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of the Company’s Common Stock on the grant date of the renewal of the service as independent director. The Option shall be granted pursuant to, and the terms and conditions of the Option shall be set forth in, an option agreement entered into between you and the Company as of the grant date. The Company agrees to reimburse all of your travel, hotel, car rental, meals and other reasonable expenses relating to your attendance at meetings of the Board. In addition, the Company agrees to reimburse you for reasonable expenses that you incur in connection with the performance of your duties as a director of the Company, provided that you shall seek the Company’s approval prior to the incurrence of any such expenses exceeding $500. All payments to you shall be exclusive of all taxes and, in the event that the Company is required to deduct any amount in respect of any taxes, the Company shall make you whole by paying such amount so that the amount you receive shall not be less than the amount set forth above.

Your compensation as a director in any future periods is subject to the determination of the Board, and may differ in future periods should you continue to serve on the Board but shall be no less than $10,000 (as a retainer) annually.

5.            D&O Insurance Policy. You shall be included as an insured under such directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (the “D&O Insurance”) that the Company, at its sole discretion, maintains in an amount in coverage and with a carrier as determined in the Board’s discretion; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed as obligating the Company to maintain any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. The Company represents that it currently has D&O coverage in an amount not less than $5 million to cover you as a named insured, and the Company further agrees that it will inform you in advance of the cancellation or expiration, without replacement, of its current D&O Insurance policy. The Company agrees that D&O Insurance coverage is a substantive condition to your acceptance of your position as a member of the Board, and that, in the event such policy expires or is terminated without being replaced by a policy from a reasonable carrier, you may, without liability to the Company; terminate your relationship with the Company.
