Re: Placement of Lianluo Smart Limited



 


Ladies and Gentlemen:


 


The undersigned, a
holder of securities of Lianluo Smart Limited (the “Company”), understands that you are the placement agent
(the “Placement Agent”) named in the placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”)
to be entered into among the Placement Agent and the Company, providing for the placement (the “Placement”)
of Shares and Warrants (collectively, the “Securities”) pursuant to a registration statement and related prospectuses
and supplements thereto filed or to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth for them in the Placement Agency Agreement.


 


In consideration of
the Placement Agent’s agreement to enter into the Placement Agency Agreement and to proceed with the Placement of the Securities,
and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees, for the
benefit of the Company, the Placement Agent that, without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent, the undersigned will
not, during the period specified in the following paragraph (the “Lock-Up Period”), directly or indirectly,
unless otherwise provided herein, (a) offer, sell, agree to offer or sell, solicit offers to purchase, convert, exercise, exchange,
grant any call option or purchase any put option with respect to, pledge, encumber, assign, borrow or otherwise dispose of or transfer
(each a “Transfer”) any Relevant Security (as defined below) or otherwise publicly disclose the intention to
do so, or (b) establish or increase any “put equivalent position” or liquidate or decrease any “call equivalent
position” (in each case within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)
and the rules and regulations thereunder) with respect to any Relevant Security or otherwise enter into any swap, derivative or
other transaction or arrangement that Transfers to another, in whole or in part, any economic consequence of ownership of a Relevant
Security, whether or not such transaction is to be settled by the delivery of Relevant Securities, other securities, cash or other
consideration, or otherwise publicly disclose the intention to do so. As used herein, the term “Relevant Security”
means any Share, warrant to purchase Shares or any other security of the Company or any other entity that is convertible into,
or exercisable or exchangeable for, Shares or any other equity security of the Company, in each case owned beneficially or otherwise
by the undersigned on the date set forth on the front cover of the final prospectus used in connection with the Placement of the
Securities (the “Effective Date”) or acquired by the undersigned during the Lock-Up Period.


 


The Lock-Up Period
will commence on the date of this Lock-up Agreement and continue and include the date that is ninety (90) days after the closing
of the Placement.


 


In addition, the undersigned
further agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent, during the Lock-Up Period the undersigned will not:
(i) file or participate in the filing with the SEC of any registration statement or circulate or participate in the circulation
of any preliminary or final prospectus or other disclosure document, in each case with respect to any proposed offering or sale
of a Relevant Security, or (ii) exercise any rights the undersigned may have to require registration with the SEC of any proposed
offering or sale of a Relevant Security.

In addition, if: (i) the
Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs during the last seventeen
(17) days of the Lock-Up Period, or (ii) prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it
will release earnings results during the sixteen (16)-day period beginning on the last day of the Lock-Up Period, then the restrictions
imposed by this Lock-Up Agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the eighteen (18)-day period beginning on the
issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event (the “Extension Period”).
However, for purposes of clarity, only one Extension Period may occur.


 


In furtherance of the
undersigned’s obligations hereunder, the undersigned hereby authorizes the Company during the Lock-Up Period to cause any
transfer agent for the Relevant Securities to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register
and other records relating to, Relevant Securities for which the undersigned is the record owner and the transfer of which would
be a violation of this Lock-Up Agreement and, in the case of Relevant Securities for which the undersigned is the beneficial but
not the record owner, agrees that during the Lock-Up Period it will cause the record owner to cause the relevant transfer agent
to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to, such Relevant
Securities to the extent such transfer would be a violation of this Lock-Up Agreement.


 


Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the undersigned may transfer the undersigned’s Relevant Securities:


 


		(i)	as a bona fide gift or gifts,



 


		(ii)	to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or a member of members of the
immediate family of the undersigned,



 


		(iii)	if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business
entity (1) to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity that is a direct or indirect
affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933) of the undersigned, (2) to limited partners, limited liability
company members or stockholders of the undersigned, or (3) in connection with a sale, merger or transfer of all or substantially
all of the assets of the undersigned or any other change of control of the undersigned, not undertaken for the purpose of avoiding
the restrictions imposed by this Lock-Up Agreement,



 


		(iv)	if the undersigned is a trust, to the beneficiary of such trust,



 


		(v)	by testate or intestate succession,



 


		(vi)	by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce
settlement, or



 


		(vii)	pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement;



 


provided, in the case of clauses
(i)-(vi), that (A) such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (B) the transferee agrees in writing with the Placement
Agent and the Company to be bound by the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement, and (C) such transfer would not require any filing under
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and no such filing is voluntarily made.


 


For purposes of this
Lock-Up Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than
first cousin.
