RE: Engagement for Private Placement of Securities

Dear Zhihua Yang:

This letter agreement (the “Agreement”) confirms our agreement that Takung Art Co., Ltd, a Delaware corporation (collectively with its owned or controlled subsidiaries, the “Company”) has engaged Maxim Group LLC (together with its affiliates, the “Placement Agent”) to act as the Company’s exclusive Placement Agent in connection with the Company’s proposed private placement offering (the “Offering”) of equity or equity-linked securities (the “Securities”) of the Company. The precise terms of the Securities and the gross proceeds of such Offering will be negotiated by the Placement Agent and the Company with one or more Investors (as defined below).

Upon acceptance (indicated by your signature below), this Agreement will confirm the engagement of the Placement Agent by the Company on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(a)           Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby engages the Placement Agent, and the Placement Agent hereby agrees to act, as the Company’s exclusive Placement Agent in connection with the Offering. As Placement Agent for the Offering, the Placement Agent will advise and assist the Company in identifying one or more investors that are “accredited” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws (“Investors”) to participate in the Offering. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agent is only required to use its “commercially reasonable efforts” in connection with its activities hereunder and that this Agreement does not constitute a legal or binding commitment by the Placement Agent to purchase the Securities or introduce the Company to Investors, nor does this Agreement constitute a representation or warranty on the part of the Placement Agent that any Offering will be consummated or any Investors introduced. The Placement Agent will, in its sole discretion, determine the reasonableness of its efforts, and is under no obligation to perform at any level other than what it deems reasonable. The Company retains the right to determine all of the terms and conditions of the Offering and to accept or reject any proposals submitted to it by the Placement Agent and/or Investors in its sole and absolute discretion.

(b)           In furtherance of the Company’s agreement that the Placement Agent’s retention hereunder shall be exclusive, during the Term (as such term is hereinafter defined), neither the Company nor any of its officers, directors, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents or representatives (“Representatives”) will, directly or indirectly, solicit or otherwise encourage the submission of any proposal or offer (“Investment Proposal”) from any person or entity (including, without limitation, any underwriter, placement agent, investment bank or financial advisor) relating to any issuance of Securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or participate in any discussions regarding an Investment Proposal. The term “Investment Proposal” shall not include (i) any investment in the equity securities of any entity other than the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and (ii) any transaction or agreement with one or more persons, firms or entities designated as a “strategic partner” of the Company (a “Strategic Investment”), as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”); provided, however, that each such “strategic partner” is itself, or has a subsidiary or affiliate that is, an operating company in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and provided further that the transaction is one in which the Company receives benefits in addition to the investment of funds. In no event shall not a transaction in which the Company issues securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to one or more persons or entities whose primary business is investing in securities be deemed a Strategic Investment. The Company will immediately cease all contacts, discussions and negotiations with third parties regarding any Investment Proposal and, during the Term, will promptly inform that Placement Agent of any unsolicited Investment Proposals received by the Company or its Representatives.

(v) Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company at its own expense will conduct background checks by a background search firm acceptable to the Placement Agent, for the Company’s senior management, and the contents of such background checks shall be satisfactory to the Placement Agent.

3. Compensation. As compensation for services rendered and to be rendered hereunder by Placement Agent, the Company agrees to provide the Placement Agent with the following:

(a)          The Company agrees to pay the Placement Agent a cash fee payable upon Closing equal to seven and half percent (7.5%) of the gross proceeds received by the Company at each Closing (the “Placement Fee”). “Closing” is defined as the receipt of gross proceeds by the Company as a result of the Offering.

(c)           In addition to any fees payable to the Placement Agent hereunder, the Company shall promptly upon request from time to time and at each Closing reimburse the Placement Agent for all expenses (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of the Placement Agent’s counsel and all travel and other out-of-pocket expenses) incurred by the Placement Agent in connection with its engagement hereunder up to $25,000.

(d)           If applicable, Company shall assist and cooperate with legal counsel to the Placement Agent in effecting a filing with respect to the public offering contemplated by the Registration Statement to be filed in connection with the Offering (an “Issuer Filing”) with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) Corporate Financing Department pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110, and the Company shall pay the filing fee required by such Issuer Filing and the fees and expenses of counsel to the Placement Agent in connection with the Issuer Filing and clearing such filing with FINRA. The Company shall assist legal counsel to the Placement Agent in pursuing the Issuer Filing until FINRA issues a letter confirming that it does not object to the terms of the Offering contemplated by the Registration Statement.

(a)           This Agreement will remain in effect for three (3) months, after which either party shall have the right to terminate it on thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other. The date of termination of this Agreement is referred to herein from time to time as the “Termination Date.” The period of time during which this Agreement remains in effect is referred to herein from time to time as the “Term.” However, if in the course of the Placement Agent’s performance of due diligence, it deems it necessary to terminate the engagement because such due diligence reveals facts and circumstances that make it impractical to (in the Placement Agent’s sole discretion) to proceed further with the Offering, the Placement Agent may do so immediately upon written notice to the Company. If, within twelve (12) months after the Termination Date, the Company completes any public or private offering of equity, equity-linked or debt securities or other capital raising activity of the Company (other than the exercise by any person or entity of any options, warrants or other convertible securities other than the warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement) with any of the Investors who were contacted by the Placement Agent in connection with the Offering, the Company will pay to the Placement Agent upon the closing of such financing the compensation set forth in Section 3.

(b)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, subject to the twelve (12) months’ limitation described in Section 4(a) above, the obligation to pay the compensation and expenses described in Section 3, this Section 4, Sections 6 and 8-17 and all of Exhibit A attached, hereto (the terms of which are incorporated by reference hereto), will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. The termination of this Agreement shall not affect the Company’s obligation to pay fees to the extent provided for in Section 3 herein and shall not affect the Company’s obligation to reimburse the expenses accruing prior to such termination to the extent provided for herein. All such fees and reimbursements due shall be paid to the Placement Agent on or before the Termination Date (in the event such fees and reimbursements are earned or owed as of the Termination Date) or upon the closing of the Offering or any applicable portion thereof (in the event such fees are due pursuant to the terms of Section 3 hereof).

8.             Right of First Refusal. Upon the successful completion of any Closing of the Offering, for a period of twelve (12) months from the final Closing, the Company grants the Placement Agent the right of first refusal to act as lead managing underwriter and book runner for any and all future public and private equity and public debt offerings during such twelve (12) months period of the Company, or any successor to or any subsidiary of the Company (a “Subsequent Offering”). The Company shall provide the Placement Agent with written notice of no less than three (3) business days following its election to engage in a Subsequent Offering, which notice shall describe the proposed terms and conditions of such Subsequent Offering. The Placement Agent shall notify the Company within fifteen (15) days of its receipt of the written offer contemplated above as to whether or not it agrees to accept such retention.

Exhibit A

INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS

Capitalized terms used in this Exhibit shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement to which this Exhibit is attached.

In addition to and without limiting any other right or remedy available to the Placement Agent and the Indemnified Parties (as hereinafter defined), the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Placement Agent and each of the other Indemnified Parties from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements, and any and all actions, suits, proceedings and investigations in respect thereof and any and all legal and other costs, expenses and disbursements in giving testimony or furnishing documents in response to a subpoena or otherwise (including, without limitation, the costs, expenses and disbursements, as and when incurred, of investigating, preparing, pursing or defending any such action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether or not in connection with litigation in which any Indemnified Party is a party)) (collectively,

“Losses”), directly or indirectly, caused by, relating to, based upon, arising out of, or in connection with, Placement Agent’s acting for the Company, including, without limitation, any act or omission by Placement Agent in connection with its acceptance of or the performance or non-performance of its obligations under the Agreement between the Company and Placement Agent to which these indemnification provisions are attached and form a part, any breach by the Company of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in the Agreement (or in any instrument, document or agreement relating thereto, including any agency agreement), or the enforcement by Placement Agent of its rights under the Agreement or these indemnification provisions, except to the extent that any such Losses are found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) to have resulted primarily and directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder.

The Company also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company for or in connection with the engagement of Placement Agent by the Company or for any other reason, except to the extent that any such liability is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) to have resulted primarily and directly from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

These Indemnification Provisions shall extend to the following persons (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”): Placement Agent, its present and former affiliated entities, managers, members, officers, employees, legal counsel, agents and controlling persons (within the meaning of the federal securities laws), and the officers, directors, partners, stockholders, members, managers, employees, legal counsel, agents and controlling persons of any of them. These indemnification provisions shall be in addition to any liability, which the Company may otherwise have to any Indemnified Party.

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 counsel of its own choice to represent it, and the 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, 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 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 stockholders, subsidiaries and affiliates, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, 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 it stockholders, subsidiaries and affiliates shall be deemed to be equal to the aggregate consideration payable or receivable by such parties in connection with the transaction or transactions to which the Agreement relates relative to the amount of fees actually received by Placement Agent in connection with such transaction or transactions. 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.
