Re:         Initial Public Offering

Gentlemen:

The undersigned stockholder, officer and director of 2020 ChinaCap Acquirco, Inc. (“Company”), in consideration of Morgan Joseph & Co. Inc. (“Morgan Joseph”) entering into a letter of intent (“Letter of Intent”) and Underwriting Agreement to underwrite an initial public offering of the securities of the Company (“IPO”) and embarking on the IPO process, hereby agrees as follows (certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 16 hereof):

1.        If the Company solicits approval of its stockholders of a Business Combination, the undersigned will vote all Insider Shares owned by him in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the holders of the IPO Shares and will vote all shares of Common Stock of the Company acquired by him in the IPO or after market in favor of such Business Combination.

2.        In the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within twenty-four (24) months from the effective date (“Effective Date”) of the registration statement relating to the IPO, the undersigned will (i) cause the Trust Account (as defined in the Letter of Intent) to be liquidated and distributed to the holders of IPO Shares and (ii) take all reasonable actions within his power to cause the Company to liquidate as soon as reasonably practicable. The undersigned hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any distribution of the Trust Account and any remaining net assets of the Company as a result of such liquidation (“Claim”) and hereby waives any Claim the undersigned may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any contracts or agreements with the Company and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever; provided, however, that in the event the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within twenty-four (24) months from the Effective Date, then the undersigned, solely with respect to any shares of Common Stock acquired in the IPO or after market, and not with respect to any Insider Shares, will have the same rights to a proportionate share of the proceeds available from liquidation of the Trust Account as any other holder of IPO Shares. The undersigned agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company jointly and severally with George Lu, Yuxiao Zhang, Jianming Yu, 2020 Strategic Investments, LLC (“2020 Strategic Investments”), 2020 International Capital Group Limited, Fame Mount Limited and Win Wide International, Ltd., against any and all loss, liability, claims, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, whether pending or threatened, or any claim whatsoever) to which the Company may

become subject as a result of any claim brought by any vendor, or any prospective target business, in the event that the Company does not obtain a valid and enforceable waiver from that vendor or prospective target business of its rights or claims to the Trust Account but only to the extent necessary to ensure that such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense does not reduce the amount in the Trust Account.

3.        In order to minimize potential conflicts of interest which may arise from multiple affiliations, the undersigned agrees (i) not to become an officer, director or principal shareholder of entities, including but not limited to blank check companies, which are engaged in, or in the event of a Business Combination, will be engaged in, business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by the Company until the earlier of completion of a Business Combination or the Company’s dissolution, and (ii) to present to the Company for its consideration, prior to presentation to any other person or entity any suitable opportunity to acquire an operating business, until the earlier of the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination or a liquidation of the Company, or until the undersigned ceases to be a director of the Company, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary, contractual, and other obligations the undersigned might have.

4.        The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not consummate any Business Combination that involves a company that is affiliated with any of the Insiders unless the Company obtains an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and is reasonably acceptable to Morgan Joseph that such Business Combination is fair to the Company’s stockholders from a financial perspective.

5.        Neither the undersigned, any member of the family of the undersigned, nor any affiliate of the undersigned (“Affiliate”) will be entitled to receive, nor will any of them accept, any compensation for services rendered to the Company prior to the consummation of the Business Combination; provided, however, that commencing on the Effective Date, Surfmax Corporation (the “Related Party”) shall be allowed to charge the Company an allocable share of its overhead, up to $7,500 per month, to compensate it for the Company’s use of the Related Party’s office space, utilities, administrative services, technology and secretarial support, and the undersigned shall also be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for his reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with seeking and consummating a Business Combination. Neither the undersigned, any member of the undersigned’s family nor any Affiliate will be entitled to receive, nor will any or them accept, a fee or any other compensation in the event the undersigned, any member of the undersigned’s family or any Affiliate originates a Business Combination.

6.        The undersigned agrees to serve as the Vice Chairman, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Principal Accounting Officer until the earlier of the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company; provided, however, that the undersigned is not obligated to contribute a minimum number of hours per week to the Company’s business or operations.
