PLACEMENT AGENCY AGREEMENT

[___], 2025

Nova Lifestyle, Inc.

6565 E. Washington Blvd,

Commerce, CA, 90040

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter (this “Agreement”) constitutes the agreement between American Trust Investment Services, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“ATIS” or the “Placement Agent”), and Nova Lifestyle, Inc., a Nevada corporation (collectively with its owned or controlled subsidiaries, the “Company”), pursuant to which ATIS shall serve as the exclusive placement agent for the Company, on a “reasonable best efforts” basis, in connection with the proposed placement (the “Placement”) of the Company’s shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and warrants to purchase the Common Stock (the “Warrants, together with the Common Stock underlying the Warrants and the Common Stock, collectively the “Securities”). The Securities shall be offered and sold under the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (Registration No. 333-287559)(the “Registration Statement”). The parties acknowledge that the terms of the Placement provide for a maximum offering amount of $9,000,000. The precise terms of the Securities and the gross proceeds of the Placement will be agreed upon among the Placement Agent, the Company, and with one or more purchasers (each, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”), and nothing herein constitutes that ATIS would have the power or authority to bind the Company or any Purchaser or an obligation for the Company to issue any Securities or complete the Placement. This Agreement and the documents executed and delivered by the Company or the Purchasers in connection with the Placement (including but not limited to the Purchase Agreement (as defined below)) shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents.” The date on which there is a closing of the Placement (the “Closing”) shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that ATIS’s obligations hereunder are on a reasonable best efforts basis only and that the execution of this Agreement does not constitute a legal or binding commitment by ATIS to purchase the Securities or introduce the Company to investors and does not ensure the successful placement of the Securities or any portion thereof or the success of ATIS with respect to securing any other financing on behalf of the Company. The Placement Agent may retain other brokers or dealers to act as sub-agents or selected-dealers on its behalf in connection with the Placement. The sale of the Securities to any Purchaser will be evidenced by a securities purchase agreement between the Company and such Purchaser in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and ATIS (the “Purchase Agreement”) together with other Transaction Documents. Capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement. Prior to the signing of the Transaction Documents, officers of the Company will be available to answer inquiries from prospective Purchasers.

SECTION 1. COMPENSATION. As compensation for the services provided by ATIS hereunder, the Company agrees to pay to ATIS:

(A) A cash fee payable in U.S. dollars equal to seven percent (7.0%) of the gross proceeds received by the Company from investors in the Placement from the sale of the Securities at the Closing (“Gross Proceeds”) and an additional non-accountable expense fee of 1% of the Gross Proceeds (the “Cash Compensation”).

(B) Subject to compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(D), subject to the closing of the Placement, the Company also agrees to reimburse the Placement Agent for all of the Placement Agent’s actual out-of-pocket accountable expenses upon receipt of reasonably acceptable evidence of such expenditures. Such actual out-of-pocket accountable expenses shall be capped at $150,000. Further, the Company shall pay up to $50,000 for reimbursement of legal fees as incurred by the Placement Agent if the Offering closes; or $25,000 if the Offering does not close.

(C) In accordance with that certain engagement letter between the Company and the Placement Agent, dated July 19, 2025 (the “Engagement Letter”), the Company acknowledges that it advanced $50,000 to the Placement Agent, which shall be applied against such out-of-pocket accountable expenses. To the extent any portion of this advance is not actually incurred, such unused portion shall be reimbursed to the Company in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(C) in the event of termination of the Offering.

(D) The Placement Agent reserves the right to reduce any item of compensation or adjust terms thereof as specified therein in the event that a determination shall be made by FINRA to the effect that the Placement Agent’s aggregate compensation is in excess of FINRA Rules or that the terms thereof require adjustment.

(E) In addition to all expenses of the Company related to the Offering, the Company shall pay (1) all fees, expenses and disbursements relating to background checks of the Company’s officers, directors and entities in an amount not to exceed $5,000; (2) all fees, expenses and disbursements relating to the registration, qualification or exemption of the Shares under the securities laws of such foreign jurisdictions as ATIS may reasonably designate; (3) the costs associated with post-Closing advertising the Offering the national editions of the Wall Street Journal and New York Times; and (4) up to a maximum of $5,000, the costs associated with commemorative mementos and lucite tombstones (if and to the extent authorized by the Company in advance).

SECTION 2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY. Each of the representations and warranties (together with any related disclosures in the disclosure schedules appended thereto) made by the Company to the Purchasers in the Transaction Documents, is hereby incorporated herein by reference (as though fully restated herein) and is, as of the date of this Agreement, hereby made to, and in favor of, the Placement Agent.

No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued, and no proceeding for any such purpose is pending or has been initiated or, to the Company’s knowledge, is threatened by the Commission.

(F) Any certificate signed by an officer of the Company and delivered to the Placement Agent or to counsel for the Placement Agent shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Company to the Placement Agent as to the matters set forth therein.

(G) The Company acknowledges that the Placement Agent will rely upon the accuracy and truthfulness of the foregoing representations and warranties and hereby consents to such reliance.

(H) No forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act) contained in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Final Prospectus has been made or reaffirmed without a reasonable basis or has been disclosed other than in good faith.

(I) Any statistical, industry-related and market-related data included or incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, are based on or derived from sources that the Company reasonably and in good faith believes to be reliable and accurate, and such data agree with the sources from which they are derived.

(J) Except as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, no brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company, any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other person with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. There are no other arrangements, agreements or understandings of the Company or, to the Company’s knowledge, any of its shareholders that may affect the Placement Agent’s compensation, as determined by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). Other than payments to the Placement Agent for this Placement, the Company has not made and has no agreements, arrangements or understanding to make any direct or indirect payments (in cash, securities or otherwise) to: (i) any person, as a finder’s fee, consulting fee or otherwise, in consideration of such person raising capital for the Company or introducing to the Company persons who raised or provided capital to the Company; (ii) any FINRA member participating in the offering as defined in FINRA Rule 5110 (a “Participating Member”); or (iii) any person or entity that has any direct or indirect affiliation or association with any Participating Member, within the 180-day period preceding the initial filing of the Registration Statement through the 60-day period after the effective date of the Registration Statement. None of the net proceeds of the Placement will be paid by the Company to any Participating Member or its affiliates, except as specifically authorized herein. To the Company’s knowledge, no officer, director or any beneficial owner of 10% or more of the Company’s ordinary shares or ordinary share equivalents has any direct or indirect affiliation or association with any Participating Member in the Placement. Except for securities purchased on the open market, no Company affiliate is an owner of stock or other securities of any Participating Member. No Company affiliate has made a subordinated loan to any Participating Member. No proceeds from the sale of the Securities (excluding placement agent compensation as disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Time of Sale Prospectus) will be paid to any Participating Member, any persons associated with a Participating Member or an affiliate of a Participating Member. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, the Company has not issued any warrants or other securities or granted any options, directly or indirectly, to the Placement Agent within the 180-day period prior to the initial filing date of the Registration Statement. Except for securities issued to the Placement Agent as disclosed in the Registration Statement, no person to whom securities of the Company have been privately issued within the 180-day period prior to the initial filing date of the Time of Sale Prospectus is a Participating Member, is a person associated with a Participating Member or is an affiliate of a Participating Member. No Participating Member in the Placement has a conflict of interest with the Company. For this purpose, a “conflict of interest” exists when a Participating Member, the parent or affiliate of a Participating Member or any person associated with a Participating Member in the aggregate beneficially own 5% or more of the Company’s outstanding subordinated debt or common equity, or 5% or more of the Company’s preferred equity. “FINRA member participating in the Placement” includes any associated person of a Participating Member in the Placement, any member of such associated person’s immediate family and any affiliate of a Participating Member in the Placement. When used in this Section 2(J) the term “affiliate of a FINRA member” or “affiliated with a FINRA member” means an entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with a FINRA member. The Company will advise the Placement Agent and its counsel if it learns that any officer, director or owner of 10% or more of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares or ordinary share equivalents is or becomes an affiliate or associated person of a Participating Member.

(K) The Board of Directors is comprised of the persons set forth under the heading of the Registration Statement captioned “Management.” The qualifications of the persons serving as board members and the overall composition of the Board of Directors comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Trading Market”). In addition, at least a majority of the persons serving on the Board of Directors qualify as “independent” as defined under the rules of the Trading Market.

(L) To the Company’s knowledge, all information contained in the questionnaires most recently completed by each of the Company’s directors and officers is true and correct in all respects and the Company has not become aware of any information which would cause the information disclosed in such questionnaires become inaccurate and incorrect.

If any action, suit, proceeding or investigation is commenced, as to which an Indemnified Party proposes to demand indemnification, it shall notify the Company with reasonable promptness; provided, however, that any failure by an Indemnified Party to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from its obligations hereunder. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain one counsel of its own choice to represent it, and the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of such counsel shall be borne by the Company. Any such counsel shall, to the extent consistent with its professional responsibilities, reasonably cooperate with the Company and any counsel designated by the Company. The Company shall be liable for any settlement of any claim against any Indemnified Party made with the Placement Agent’s and the Company’s written consent. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Placement Agent, settle or compromise any claim, or permit a default or consent to the entry of any judgment in respect thereof, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant to all of the Indemnified Parties of an unconditional release from all liability in respect of such claim, and (ii) does not contain any factual or legal admission by or with respect to an Indemnified Party or an adverse statement with respect to the character, professionalism, expertise or reputation of any Indemnified Party or any action or inaction of any Indemnified Party.

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution, if a claim for indemnification pursuant to these indemnification provisions is made but it is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, even though the express provisions hereof provide for indemnification in such case, then the Company shall contribute to the Losses to which any Indemnified Party may be subject (i) in accordance with the relative benefits received by the Company and its shareholders, subsidiaries and affiliates, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, from the Placement of the Securities and (ii) if (and only if) the allocation provided in clause (i) of this sentence is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as to reflect not only the relative benefits, but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements, acts or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any relevant equitable considerations. No person found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any person who is not also found liable for fraudulent misrepresentation. The relative benefits received (or anticipated to be received) by the Company and its shareholders, subsidiaries and affiliates shall be deemed to be equal to the aggregate consideration received or receivable by the Company in connection with the Placement of Securities relative to the amount of fees actually received by Placement Agent in connection with such Placement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the amount contributed by all Indemnified Parties exceed the amount of fees previously received by Placement Agent pursuant to the Agreement.

Neither termination nor completion of the Agreement shall affect these Indemnification Provisions which shall remain operative and in full force and effect. The Indemnification Provisions shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnified Parties and their respective successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives.
