5.1 Indemnification
of Deng. Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Deng, each of his Affiliates and each of his partners, employees,
attorneys and agents and permitted assignees (the “Deng Indemnitees”), against and in respect of any and all
out-of-pocket loss, cost, payments, demand, penalty, forfeiture, expense, liability, judgment, deficiency or damage, and diminution
in value or claim (including actual costs of investigation and attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses) (all of the
foregoing collectively, “Losses”) incurred or sustained by any Deng Indemnitee as a result of or in connection
with any breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment or the alleged breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment of any of the representations,
warranties and covenants of Purchaser contained herein or any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto.

 

    	 	5	 

     

    

 

5.2 Indemnification
of Purchaser. Deng hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, each of its Affiliates, and each of their members,
managers, partners, directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents and permitted assignees (the “Purchaser Indemnitees”)
against and in respect of any Losses incurred or sustained by any Purchaser Indemnitee as a result of any breach, inaccuracy
or nonfulfillment or the alleged breach, of any of the representations, warranties and covenants of Deng or the Option Companies
contained herein or in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto.

 

5.3 Indemnification
Procedures. The following procedures shall apply with respect to all claims by either a Deng Indemnitee or a Purchaser Indemnitee
(an “Indemnified Party”) for indemnification:

 

(a) An
Indemnified Party shall give the Purchaser or Deng, as applicable, prompt notice (an “Indemnification
Notice”) of any third-party action with respect to which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification pursuant to
Section 5.1 or 5.2 (a “Third-Party Claim”), which shall describe in reasonable detail the Loss that has been
or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party. The failure to give the Indemnification Notice shall not impair any of the
rights or benefits of such Indemnified Party under Section 5.1 or 5.2, except to the extent such failure materially and
adversely affects the ability of Purchaser or Deng, as applicable (any of such parties, “Indemnifying
Parties”) to defend such claim or increases the amount of such liability.

 

(b) In
the case of any Third-Party Claims as to which indemnification is sought by any Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party
shall be entitled, at the sole expense and liability of the Indemnifying Parties, to exercise full control of the defense,
compromise or settlement of any Third-Party Claim unless the Indemnifying Parties, within a reasonable time after the giving
of an Indemnification Notice by the Indemnified Party (but in any event within ten (10) days thereafter), shall (i) deliver a
written confirmation to such Indemnified Party that the indemnification provisions of Section 5.1 or 5.2 are applicable to
such action and the Indemnifying Parties will indemnify such Indemnified Party in respect of such action pursuant to the
terms of Section 5.1 or 5.2 and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, shall do so without asserting any challenge,
defense, limitation on the Indemnifying Parties liability for Losses, counterclaim or offset, (ii) notify such Indemnified
Party in writing of the intention of the Indemnifying Parties to assume the defense thereof, and (iii) retain legal counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party to conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

 

(c) If
the Indemnifying Parties assume the defense of any such Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 5.3(b), then the Indemnified Party
shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Parties in any manner reasonably requested in connection with the defense, and the Indemnified
Party shall have the right to be kept fully informed by the Indemnifying Parties and their legal counsel with respect to the status
of any legal proceedings, to the extent not inconsistent with the preservation of attorney-client or work product privilege. If
the Indemnifying Parties so assume the defense of any such Third-Party Claim the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ
separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying
Parties have agreed to pay such fees and expenses, or (ii) the named parties to any such Third-Party Claim (including any impleaded
parties) include an Indemnified Party and an Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by its counsel
that there may be a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Parties in the conduct of the defense
thereof, and in any such case the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnifying Parties.

 

    	 	6	 

     

    

  

(d) If
the Indemnifying Parties elect to assume the defense of any Third- Party Claim pursuant to Section 5.3(b), the Indemnified
Party shall not pay, or permit to be paid, any part of any claim or demand arising from such asserted liability unless the
Indemnifying Parties withdraw from or fail to vigorously prosecute the defense of such asserted liability, or unless a
judgment is entered against the Indemnified Party for such liability. If the Indemnifying Parties do not elect to defend, or
if, after commencing or undertaking any such defense, the Indemnifying Parties fail to adequately prosecute or withdraw such
defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense or settlement thereof, at the Indemnifying
Parties’ expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Indemnifying Parties shall not be entitled to control, but
may participate in, and the Indemnified Party (at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties) shall be entitled to have sole
control over, the defense or settlement of (i) that part of any Third Party Claim (x) that seeks a temporary
restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance against the Indemnified Party, or (y) to the
extent such Third Party Claim involves criminal allegations against the Indemnified Party or (ii) the entire Third Party
Claim if such Third Party Claim would impose liability on the part of the Indemnified Party in an amount which is greater
than the amount as to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. In the event the
Indemnified Party retains control of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not settle the subject claim without
the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

(e) If
the Indemnified Party undertakes the defense of any such Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2 and proposes to
settle the same prior to a final judgment thereon or to forgo appeal with respect thereto, then the Indemnified Party shall
give the Indemnifying Parties prompt written notice thereof and the Indemnifying Parties shall have the right to participate
in the settlement, assume or reassume the defense thereof or prosecute such appeal, in each case at the Indemnifying Parties’
expense. The Indemnifying Parties shall not, without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party settle or compromise
or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to any such Third-Party Claim (i) in which any relief other than the payment
of money damages is or may be sought against such Indemnified Party, (ii) in which such Third Party Claim could be reasonably
expected to impose or create a monetary liability on the part of the Indemnified Party (such as an increase in the
Indemnified Party’s income Tax) other than the monetary claim of the third party in such Third-Party Claim being paid
pursuant to such settlement or judgment, or (iii) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the
claimant, person conducting such investigation or initiating such hearing, plaintiff or petitioner to such Indemnified Party
of a release from all liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim and all other actions (known or unknown) arising or
which might arise out of the same facts.

 

    	 	7	 

     

    

 

5.4 Periodic
Payments. Any indemnification required by Section 5.1 or 5.2 for costs, disbursements or expenses of any Indemnified Party
in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any action shall be made by periodic payments by the Indemnifying
Parties to each Indemnified Party during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or costs,
disbursements or expenses are incurred.

 

5.5 Insurance. Any
indemnification payments hereunder shall take into account any insurance proceeds or other third party reimbursement
actually received.

 

5.6 Survival
of Indemnification Rights. The representations and warranties of Purchaser, each Option Company and Deng shall survive until
the twelve (12) months following the last Closing.

actual attorneys’ fees and costs), shall be borne by the unsuccessful party and shall be awarded as part of the Arbitrator’s
decision, unless the Arbitrator shall otherwise allocate such costs in such decision. The determination of the Arbitrator
shall be final and binding upon the parties and not subject to appeal.

 

(h) Any
judgment upon any award rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered in and enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties expressly consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts
(Federal and state) in New York, New York to enforce any award of the Arbitrator or to render any provisional, temporary, or injunctive
relief in connection with or in aid of the Arbitration. The parties expressly consent to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction
of the Arbitrator to arbitrate any and all matters to be submitted to arbitration hereunder. None of the parties hereto shall
challenge any arbitration hereunder on the grounds that any party necessary to such arbitration (including the parties hereto)
shall have been absent from such arbitration for any reason, including that such party shall have been the subject of any bankruptcy,
reorganization, or insolvency proceeding.

 

(i) The
parties shall indemnify the Arbitrator and any experts employed by the Arbitrator and hold them harmless from and against any
claim or demand arising out of any arbitration under this Agreement or any agreement contemplated hereby, unless resulting

arbitration section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and any agreement contemplated hereby.

WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER CAUSE OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT

to any other relief to which it may be entitled. As used in this Section 6.3 and elsewhere in this Agreement, “actual attorneys’
fees” or “attorneys’ fees actually incurred” means the full and actual cost of any legal services actually

8.2 Amendments;
No Waivers; Remedies.

 

(a) This
Agreement cannot be amended, except by a writing signed by each party, or terminated orally or by course of conduct. No
provision hereof can be waived, except by a writing signed by the party against whom such waiver is to be enforced, and any
such waiver shall apply only in the particular instance in which such waiver shall have been given.

 

(b) Neither
any failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or in requiring satisfaction of any condition herein nor any
course of dealing shall constitute a waiver of or prevent any party from enforcing any right or remedy or from requiring satisfaction
of any condition. No notice to or demand on a party waives or otherwise affects any obligation of that party or impairs any right
of the party giving such notice or making such demand, including any right to take any action without notice or demand not otherwise
required by this Agreement. No exercise of any right or remedy with respect to a breach of this Agreement shall preclude exercise
of any other right or remedy, as appropriate to make the aggrieved party whole with respect to such breach, or subsequent exercise
of any right or remedy with respect to any other breach.

 

    	 	11	 

     

    

 

(c) Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, no statement herein of any right or remedy shall impair any other right or remedy
stated herein or that otherwise may be available.

 

(d) Notwithstanding
anything else contained herein, neither shall any party seek, nor shall any party be liable for, punitive or exemplary
damages, under any tort, contract, equity, or other legal theory, with respect to any breach (or alleged breach) of this
Agreement or any provision hereof or any matter otherwise relating hereto or arising in connection herewith.

 

8.3 Arms’
Length Bargaining; no Presumption Against Drafter. This Agreement has been negotiated at arms-length by parties of equal bargaining
strength, each represented by counsel or having had but declined the opportunity to be represented by counsel and having participated
in the drafting of this Agreement. This Agreement creates no fiduciary or other special relationship between the parties, and
no such relationship otherwise exists. No presumption in favor of or against any party in the construction or interpretation of
this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be made based upon which Person might have drafted this Agreement or such provision.

 

8.4 Publicity.
Except as required by law, the parties agree that neither they nor their agents shall issue any press release or make any

Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense.

 

8.6 No
Assignment or Delegation. No party may assign any right or delegate any obligation hereunder, including by merger, consolidation,
operation of law, or otherwise, without the written consent of the other party. Any purported assignment or delegation without
such consent shall be void, in addition to constituting a material breach of this Agreement.

 

8.7 Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the state of New York, without giving
effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

 

8.8 Counterparts;
Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all
of which shall constitute one agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon delivery to each party of an executed counterpart
or the earlier delivery to each party of original, photocopied, or electronically transmitted signature pages that together (but
need not individually) bear the signatures of all other parties.

 

    	 	12	 

     

    

 

8.9 Entire
Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof
and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements related thereto (whether written or oral), all of which
are merged herein. No provision of this Agreement may be explained or qualified by any agreement, negotiations, understanding,
discussion, conduct or course of conduct or by any trade usage. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, there is no condition
precedent to the effectiveness of any provision hereof or thereof. No party has relied on any representation from, warranty or
agreement of any person in entering into this Agreement, prior or contemporaneous, except those expressly stated herein.

 

8.10
Severability. A determination by a court or other legal authority that any provision that is not of the essence of this
Agreement is legally invalid shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. The parties shall
cooperate in good faith to substitute (or cause such court or other legal authority to substitute) for any provision so held to
be invalid a valid provision, as alike in substance to such invalid provision as is lawful.

 

8.11

subsections, schedules, and exhibits of this Agreement.

VOTING
AGREEMENT

 

This
Voting Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of February 10, 2017, by and among iFresh Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), and each
of the individuals set forth on the signature page hereto (each a “Voting Party” and collectively, the “Voting
Parties”). For purposes of this Agreement, capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings
ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS,
the Company, NYM Holding Inc. (“NYM Holding”), E-compass Acquisition Corp., iFresh Merger Sub Inc., the stockholders
of NYM Holding, and Long Deng, as the representative of the stockholders, entered into a Merger Agreement, dated July 25, 2016
(the “Merger Agreement”);
and

 

WHEREAS,
each of the Voting Parties currently own, or on closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, will own, shares
of the Company’s capital stock, and wishes to provide for orderly elections of the Company’s board of directors as
described herein.

 

NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the promises and covenants contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

 

1. Agreement
to Vote. During the term of this Agreement and to the extent they are entitled under the Company’s constituent or organizational
documents or agreements to vote on such matter, each Voting Party agrees to vote all securities of the Company that may vote in
the election of the Company’s directors that such Voting Party owns from time to time, including any shares that are escrowed
pursuant to that certain Escrow Agreement by and among Loeb & Loeb LLP, as escrow agent, the Company and Long Deng, dated
as of the date of this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the “Voting Shares”) in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, whether at a regular or special meeting of stockholders or any class or series
of stockholders or by written consent.

 

2. Election of Boards of Directors.

 

2.1 Voting. During
the term of this Agreement, and subject to the Company’s constituent or organizational documents or agreements, each
Voting Party agrees to vote all Voting Shares in such manner as may be necessary to elect (and maintain in office) as
members of the Company’s Board of Directors the following persons:

  

(a) Four
(4) persons (each a “NYM Designee,” and collectively, the “NYM Designees”) designated by
the Voting Parties who owned shares of NYM Holding prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement,
holding a majority of shares of capital stock owned by such Voting Parties (as applicable, the “NYM Selector”).
At least two (2) NYM Designees shall qualify as independent directors under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”), and the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, if applicable; and

 

     

     

    

 

(b) One
(1) person (the “E-Compass Designee”) designated by the Voting Parties other than those who were stockholders
or employees of or consultants to NYM Holding or its affiliates prior to the date hereof, holding a majority of shares of capital
stock owned by such Voting Parties (as applicable, the “E-Compass Selector”). The
E-Compass Designee shall qualify as an independent director under the Exchange Act, and the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market,
if applicable.

 

2.2 Initial
Designees. The initial NYM Designees are Long Deng, Lilly Deng, Jianming You, and Xiangke Fang. The initial E-Compass Designee
is Henry Chang-Yu Lee.

 

2.3 Size
of the Board. The parties hereto agree that they shall, and that they shall cause their respective designees to, maintain
the size of the Company’s Board of Directors at five (5) persons for the 24-month period following the Closing (as
defined in the Merger Agreement).

 

2.4 Obligations;
Removal of Directors; Vacancies. The obligations of the Voting Parties pursuant to this Section 2 shall include any
stockholder vote to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws as required to effect the intent of
this Agreement. Each of the Voting Parties and the Company agree not to take any actions that would materially and adversely
affect the provisions of this Agreement and the intention of the parties with respect to the composition of the
Company’s Board of Directors as herein stated. The parties acknowledge that the fiduciary duties of each member of the
Company’s Board of Directors are to the Company’s stockholders as a whole. In the event any director elected
pursuant to the terms hereof ceases to serve as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company and the
Voting Parties agree to take all such action as is reasonable and necessary, including the voting of shares of capital stock
of the Company by the Voting Parties as to which they have beneficial ownership, to cause the election or appointment of such
other substitute person to the Board of Directors as may be designated on the terms provided herein.

 

3. Successors
in Interest of the Voting Parties and the Company. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors
in interest of any Voting Party with respect to any of such Voting Party’s Voting Shares or any voting rights therein,
unless such shares are sold into the public markets. Each Voting Party shall not, and the Company shall not, permit the
transfer of any Voting Party’s Voting Shares (except for sales of Voting Shares into the public markets), unless and
until the person to whom such securities are to be transferred shall have executed a written agreement pursuant to which such
person becomes a party to this Agreement and agrees to be bound by all the provisions hereof as if such person was a Voting
Party hereunder.

  

    	 	-2-	 

     

    

 

4. Covenants. The Company and each Voting Party agrees to take all actions required to ensure that the rights given to each Voting
Party hereunder are effective and that each Voting Party enjoys the benefits thereof. Such actions include, without limitation,
the use of best efforts to cause the nomination of the designees, as provided herein, for election as directors of the Company.
Neither the Company nor any Voting Party will, by any voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of
any of the terms to be performed hereunder by the Company or any such Voting Party, as applicable, but will at all times in good
faith assist in the carrying out of all of the provisions of this Agreement and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary
or appropriate in order to protect the rights of each Voting Party hereunder against impairment.

 

5. Grant of Proxy. The parties agree that this Agreement does not constitute the granting of a proxy to any party or any other
person; provided, however, that should the provisions of this Agreement be construed to constitute the granting of proxies, such
proxies shall be deemed coupled with an interest and are irrevocable for the term of this Agreement.

 

6. Restrictive Legend. Until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the sale of the Applicable Voting Shares into
the public markets, each certificate representing any of the Voting Shares shall be marked by the Company with a legend reading
as follows:

 

“THE
SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO A VOTING AGREEMENT (A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE ISSUER) AND BY ACCEPTING ANY
INTEREST IN SUCH SHARES THE PERSON HOLDING SUCH INTEREST SHALL BE DEEMED TO AGREE TO AND SHALL BECOME BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS
OF SAID VOTING AGREEMENT.”

 

7. Specific Enforcement. It is agreed and understood that monetary damages would not adequately compensate an injured party for
the breach of this Agreement by any party hereto, that this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable, and that any breach of
this Agreement shall be the proper subject of a temporary or permanent injunction or restraining order. Further, each party hereto
waives any claim or defense that there is an adequate remedy at law for such breach or threatened breach and agrees that a party’s
rights would be materially and adversely affected if the obligations of the other parties under this Agreement were not carried
out in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

 

8. Manner of Voting. The voting of shares pursuant to this Agreement may be effected in person, by proxy, by written consent
or in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

 

9. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the first to occur of the following:

 

9.1 The
date that is twenty-four (24) months from the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement); or

 

9.2 Immediately
prior to a transaction pursuant to which a person or group other than current shareholders of the Company or the Voting
Parties, or their respective affiliates, will control greater than 50% of the Company’s voting power with respect to
the election of directors of the Company.

 

    	 	-3-	 

     

    

 

10.  Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, additional parties may be added to this Agreement, and any provision
of this Agreement may be amended or the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of (a) the Company, and (b) the holders of a majority of Voting
Shares then held by the Voting Parties; provided, however, that the right of the NYM Selector to nominate the NYM Designees
shall not be amended without the written consent of a majority in interest of the NYM Selector; and provided further, that
the right of the E-Compass Selector to nominate the E-Compass Designees shall not be amended without the written consent of a
majority in interest of E-Compass Selector.

 

11. Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, etc. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization or the
like, any securities issued with respect to Voting Shares held by Voting Parties shall become Voting Shares for purposes of this
Agreement.

 

12.  Severability. In the event that any provision of the Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

13. Governing Law. This Agreement and the legal relations between the parties arising hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without reference to its conflicts of laws provisions.

 

14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all
of which together shall constitute one instrument.

 

15. Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the provisions hereof shall inure to the
benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

 

16. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties, and supersedes
any prior agreement or understanding among the parties, with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof, and no party shall be
liable or bound to any other party in any manner by any warranties, representations or covenants except as specifically set forth
herein or therein.
