[SEE ATTACHED]

Soliciting Dealer Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned, Crescent Securities Group, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Managing Broker-Dealer”), has entered into an agreement (the “MBD Agreement”) with Red Oak Capital Group , LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company the “Company”), for the sale of up to 50,000 bonds (the “Bonds”) to be issued by Red Oak Capital Fund II (the “Offering”), pursuant to which the Managing Broker-Dealer has agreed to use its best efforts to form and manage, as the Managing Broker-Dealer, a group of securities dealers (the “Selling Group Members”) for the purpose of soliciting offers for the purchase of the Bonds. The MBD Agreement is attached as Exhibit A. The terms of the Offering and the Bonds are set forth in the Red Oak Capital Fund II LLC Offering Circular dated , as may be supplemented or amended (the “Offering Circular”). The Bonds will be offered during a period commencing on the date of the Offering Circular and continuing until the Offering Termination Date and all extensions thereof (as defined in the Offering Circular). Terms used but not otherwise defined in this Soliciting Dealer Agreement (this “Agreement”) have the same meanings as in the MBD Agreement.

You are invited to become a Selling Group Member and by your confirmation hereof you agree to act in such capacity and to use your best efforts, in accordance with the following terms and conditions, to find qualified Investors (the “Investors”) for the Bonds. By your acceptance of this Agreement, you will become one of the Selling Group Members and will be entitled to and subject to the indemnification and contribution provisions contained in the MBD Agreement, including the provisions of the MBD Agreement wherein the Selling Group Members severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Managing Broker-Dealer for certain actions.

Selling Group Member Representations.

1.1

You hereby confirm that you (i) are a member in good standing of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), (ii) are qualified and duly registered to act as a broker-dealer within all states in which you will sell the Bonds, (iii) are a broker-dealer duly registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and (iv) will maintain all such registrations and qualifications in good standing for the duration of your involvement in the Offering. You agree to immediately notify the Managing Broker-Dealer if you cease to be a member of FINRA in good standing.

1.2

You hereby agree to solicit, as an independent contractor and not as the Managing Broker-Dealer’s agent, or as an agent of the Company or its affiliates, persons acceptable to the Company to purchase the Bonds pursuant to the Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) in the form attached to the Offering Statement on Form 1-A, as amended (the “Offering Statement”) of which the Offering Circular is a part and in accordance with the terms of the Offering Circular, and to diligently make inquiries as required by this Agreement, the Offering Circular or applicable law with respect to prospective Investors in order to ascertain whether a purchase of the securities is suitable for the Investor. You shall solicit the purchase of Bonds in a manner that complies with Regulation A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the rules of FINRA applicable to public offerings. In accordance with the instructions set forth in the Subscription Agreement, all the Subscription Agreements and all funds received by you with respect to any Subscription Agreement shall be transmitted to the Managing Broker-Dealer by noon of the next business day following receipt thereof. To the extent received by the Managing Broker-Dealer, the Managing Broker-Dealer will be responsible for the prompt deposit of funds for the purchase of Bonds with Prime Trust, LLC (the “Escrow Agent”). The funds shall be maintained in accordance with SEC Rule 15c2-4. No Subscription Agreement shall be effective unless and until accepted by the Company, it being understood that the Company may accept or reject any Investor in its sole discretion and that the Company may terminate the Offering at any time for any reason.

1.3

You understand and agree that your compensation under this Agreement for the sale of Bonds is conditioned upon the Company’s acceptance of sales by you, and that the failure to accept a purchase for Bonds shall relieve the Company, the Managing Broker-Dealer or any other party of any obligation to pay you for any services rendered by you in connection with the sale of Bonds under this Agreement or otherwise.

1.4

You agree that before participating in the Offering, you will have reasonable grounds to believe based on information made available to you by the Managing Broker-Dealer and/or the Company through the Offering Circular, that all material facts are adequately and accurately disclosed in the Offering Circular and provide a basis for evaluating the Company and the Bonds.

You agree not to execute any transaction in which an Investor invests in the Bonds in a discretionary account without prior written approval of the transaction by the Investor and the Managing Broker-Dealer.

1.6

You agree to comply in all respects with the purchase procedures and plan of distribution set forth in the Offering Circular. Further, you agree that although you may receive due diligence and other information regarding the Offering from the Company in electronic form, you will not distribute to any prospective Investor or any other person any such material. All material distributions to prospective Investors shall only be in hard copy form.

1.7

All Subscriptions solicited by you will be strictly subject to confirmation by the Managing Broker-Dealer and acceptance thereof by the Company.

The Managing Broker-Dealer also understands that the Company may provide you with certain supplemental sales material to be used by you in connection with the solicitation of purchases of the Bonds. If you elect to use such supplemental sales material, you agree that such material shall not be used in connection with the solicitation or purchase of the Bonds unless accompanied or preceded by the Offering Circular, as then currently in effect, and as it may be amended or supplemented in the future.

1.10

The Managing Broker-Dealer shall have full authority to take such action as it may deem advisable with respect to all matters pertaining to the Offering.

1.16

You hereby undertake and agree to comply with all obligations applicable to you as set forth in FINRA rules, including, but not limited to, any new suitability and filing requirements.

20.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement, along with the applicable provisions of the MBD Agreement, constitute the entire understanding between the parties hereto and supersede any prior understandings or written or oral agreements between them respecting the subject matter hereof.

21.

Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Programs. Each Selling Group Member’s acceptance of this Agreement constitutes a representation to the Managing Broker-Dealer that the Selling Group Member has established and implemented an anti-money laundering (“AML”) compliance program (“AML Program”), in accordance with FINRA Rule 3310 and Section 352 of the Money Laundering Abatement Act and Section 326 of the Patriot Act of 2001, which are reasonably expected to detect and cause reporting of suspicious transactions in connection with the sale of Bonds. In addition, the Selling Group Member represents that it has established and implemented a program (“OFAC Program”) for compliance with OFAC and will continue to maintain its OFAC Program during the term of this Agreement. Upon request by the Managing Broker-Dealer at any time, the Selling Group Member hereby agrees to (i) furnish a copy of its AML Program and OFAC Program to the Managing Broker-Dealer for review and (ii) furnish a copy of the findings and any remedial actions taken in connection with the Selling Group Member’s most recent independent testing of its AML Program and/or its OFAC Program.

The parties acknowledge that for the purposes of the FINRA rules the Investors who purchase Bonds through the Selling Group Member are “Customers” of the Selling Group Member and not the Managing Broker-Dealer. Nonetheless, to the extent that the Managing Broker-Dealer deems it prudent, the Selling Group Member shall cooperate with the Managing Broker-Dealer’s auditing and monitoring of the Selling Group Member’s AML Program and its OFAC Program by providing, upon request, information, records, data and exception reports, related to the Company’s Investors introduced to, and serviced by, the Selling Group Member (the “Customers”). Such documentation could include, among other things: (i) copies of Selling Group Member’s AML Program and its OFAC Program, (ii) documents maintained pursuant to the Selling Group Member’s AML Program and its OFAC Program related to the Customers, (iii) any suspicious activity reports filed related to the Customers, (iv) audits and any exception reports related to the Selling Group Member’s AML activities and (v) any other files maintained related to the Customers. In the event that such documents reflect, in the opinion of the Managing Broker-Dealer, a potential violation of the Managing Broker-Dealer’s obligations in respect of its AML or OFAC requirements, the Selling Group Member will permit the Managing Broker-Dealer to further inspect relevant books and records related to the Customers (with respect to the Offering) and/or the Selling Group Member’s compliance with AML or OFAC requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Selling Group Member shall not be required to provide to the Managing Broker-Dealer any documentation that, in the Selling Group Member’s reasonable judgment, would cause the Selling Group Member to lose the benefit of attorney-client privilege or other privilege which it may be entitled to assert relating to the discoverability of documents in any civil or criminal proceedings. The Selling Group Member hereby represents that it is currently in compliance with all AML rules and all OFAC requirements, specifically including, but not limited to, the Customer Identification Program requirements under Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act. The Selling Group Member hereby agrees, upon request by the Managing Broker-Dealer to (i) provide an annual certification to the Managing Broker-Dealer that, as of the date of such certification (A) its AML Program and its OFAC Program are consistent with the AML Rules and OFAC requirements, (B) it has continued to implement its AML Program and its OFAC Program and (C) it is currently in compliance with all AML Rules and OFAC requirements, specifically including, but not limited to, the Customer Identification Program requirements under Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act and (ii) perform and carry out, on behalf of both the Managing Broker-Dealer and the Company, the Customer Identification Program requirements in accordance with Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act and applicable SEC and Treasury Department Rules thereunder.

22.

Due Diligence. Pursuant to the MBD Agreement, the Company will authorize a collection of information regarding the Offering (the “Due Diligence Information”), which collection the Company may amend and supplement from time to time, to be delivered by the Managing Broker-Dealer to the Selling Group Member (or their agents performing due diligence) in connection with its due diligence review of the Offering. In the event the Selling Group Member (or its agent performing due diligence) requests access to additional information or otherwise wishes to conduct additional due diligence regarding the Offering, the Company, the Company’s sponsor or the sponsor’s affiliates, the Company and the Managing Broker-Dealer will reasonably cooperate with the Selling Group Member to accommodate such request. All Due Diligence Information received by the Selling Group Member in connection with its due diligence review of the Offering is confidential and shall be maintained as confidential and not disclosed by the Selling Group Member, except to the extent such information is disclosed in the Offering Circular.

23.
