EXCHANGE AGREEMENT


 


EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
(the “Agreement”) is made as of the 9th day of May 2017, by and between MagneGas Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), and the investor signatory hereto (the “Investor”).


 


WHEREAS, on
June 27, 2016, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and the
Investor, the Company sold (i) Senior Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”), Series E-1 Common Stock Purchase
Warrants, Series E-2 Common Stock Purchase Warrants, Series E-5 Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Series E-6 Common Stock Purchase
Warrants (collectively, the “144 Warrants”), pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of
Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) contained in Section 4(a)(2) thereof
and/or Regulation D thereunder and (ii) Series E-4 Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Series E-7 Common Stock Purchase Warrants
(collectively, the “Registered Warrants” and collectively with the 144 Warrants, the “Warrants”)
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act;


 


WHEREAS, on
the date hereof, the Investor owns Warrants to purchase up to 22,198,554 shares of Common Stock (the “Held Warrants”);


 


WHEREAS, subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act , and in reliance
on Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Company desires to exchange with the Investor, and the Investor desires to exchange
with the Company, the Held Warrants for Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”), which Preferred
Stock shall be subject to the terms of the Certificate of Designation in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, and shares
of Common Stock; and


 


WHEREAS, the
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement the Company wishes to reduce the Conversion Price of the Debentures
and make such additional amendments to the Debentures as set forth in Section 1 herein.


 


NOW, THEREFORE,
for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in consideration of
the premises and the mutual agreements, representations and warranties, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties
hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:


 


1.                 
 Amendments to Debentures.


 


(a) Reset of Conversion
Price under the Debentures. As of the date hereof, the Conversion Price of the Debenture is reduced to $0.30, subject to adjustment
hereunder or under the terms of such Debenture.


 


(b) Prepayment Provision.
From and after the date hereof, upon 10 Trading Days’ prior written notice to the Investor, the Company shall be permitted
to prepay, in whole or in part, outstanding principal amount of the Debenture, together with a prepayment premium in the amount
of ten percent (10%) of the amount of principal being prepaid by the Company, without having to obtain the prior written consent
of the Investor as required by Section 2(b) of the Debenture. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, if any
portion of the principal amount subject to redemption remains unpaid after the date set for redemption in the notice to the Investor,
other than as a result of a Material Adverse Effect (as defined below), the Investor may elect, by written notice to the Company
given at any time thereafter, to invalidate such redemption, ab initio, and the Company shall have no further right
to exercise such redemption right. The Investor may elect to convert the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture that the
Company has elected to prepay prior to actual payment in cash for any redemption hereunder by the delivery of a Notice of Conversion
to the Company. Additionally, in the event the Investor exercises its right to exchange this Debenture pursuant to Section 6.18(b)
prior to the later of the expiration of the notice period and actual prepayment in cash, such exchange shall be honored and the
Debenture may not then be prepaid. For purposes of clarification, any rights of the Investor under Section 6.18(b) of the Purchase
Agreement shall supersede any rights of prepayment by the Company. As used herein, a “Material Adverse Effect” shall
mean a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise)
of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, which occurs prior to the expiration of the 10 Trading Day notice period
set forth in this Section 1(b) and as a result, makes it impractical or inadvisable for the Company to proceed with its election
for prepayment.


 






    1 


     


    

  


(c)       Issuance
Limitations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Company has not obtained Shareholder Approval, then the
Company may not issue, upon conversion of the Debenture, a number of shares of Common Stock which, when aggregated with (i) any
shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) any shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any conversion
of Preferred Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement and (iii) any shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any conversion
of the Debenture, would exceed 11,913,546 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits, recapitalizations
and the like). “Shareholder Approval” means such approval as may be required by the applicable rules and regulations
of the Nasdaq Capital Market (or any successor entity) from the shareholders of the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, including the issuance of all of the underlying shares in excess of 19.99% of the issued and outstanding Common
Stock on the date of execution of this Agreement.


 


2.                 
Exchange. On the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Investor shall, and the
Company shall, pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, exchange all of the Held Warrants for (a) shares of Preferred
Stock convertible into 9,000,000 shares of Common Stock and, via The Depository Trust Company Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian
system (“DWAC”) and (b) 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock (such Preferred Stock and shares of Common Stock, the
“Exchange Securities”). Subject to the conditions set forth below, the Exchange shall take place at the offices
of Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, on the third Trading Day (as defined below) after the date hereof, or at such other time
and place as the Company and the Investor mutually agree (the “Closing” and the “Closing Date”).
At the Closing, the following transactions shall occur (such transactions in this Section 1, the “Exchange”):


 


2.1             
On the Closing Date, in exchange for the Held Warrants, the Company shall deliver the Exchange Securities to the Investor
or its designee in accordance with the Investor’s delivery instructions set forth on the Investor signature page hereto.
Upon receipt of the Exchange Securities in accordance with this Section 2.1, all of the Investor’s rights under the Held
Warrants shall be extinguished. The Investor shall tender to the Company the Held Warrants within three Trading Days (as defined
below) of the Closing Date.


 


2.2             
On the Closing Date, the Investor shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the
Exchange Securities, irrespective of the date such Exchange Securities are delivered to the Investor in accordance herewith. As
used herein, “Trading Day” means any day on which the Common Stock is traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market, or,
if the NASDAQ Capital Market is not the principal trading market for the Common Stock, then on the principal securities exchange
or securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded.

means, as of any date, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then issued or potentially issuable upon conversion
in full of all shares of Preferred Stock, ignoring any conversion limits set forth therein, and assuming that the conversion price
of the Preferred Stock is at all times on and after the date of determination 75% of the then conversion price on the trading day
immediately prior to the date of determination.

the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Investor Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations
by such Investor Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Investor Party which constitutes fraud, gross
negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Investor Party in respect of which indemnity
may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Investor Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall
have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Investor Party. Any
Investor Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Investor Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof
has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume
such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict
on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Investor Party, in which case the Company shall
be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to
any Investor Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by an Investor Party effected without the Company’s prior
written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss,
claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Investor Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants
or agreements made by such Investor Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required
by this Section 6.10 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense,
as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of
action or similar right of any Investor Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant
to law.


 


6.11         
Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents, which shall be disclosed pursuant to Section 6.1, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it,
nor any other person acting on its behalf will provide any Investor or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes,
or the Company reasonably believes constitutes, material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Investor shall have
consented to the receipt of such information and agreed with the Company to keep such information confidential. The Company understands
and confirms that each Investor shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
To the extent that the Company delivers any material, non-public information to an Investor without such Investor’s consent,
the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such purchaser shall not have any duty of confidentiality to Company, any of its subsidiaries,
or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates, or a duty to the Company, and of its subsidiaries
or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public
information, provided that the Investor shall remain subject to applicable law. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant
to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any subsidiaries,
the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company understands
and confirms that each Investor shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

other person, that any Investor is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination,
poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter

of receiving Exchange Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Investors.

grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company
is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.


 






    11 


     


    

  


(b) At any
time during the period ending at such time that all of the Exchange Securities may be sold without the requirement for the Company
to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company (i)
shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) or (ii) has ever been an issuer
described in Rule 144 (i)(1)(i) or becomes an issuer in the future, and the Company shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth
in Rule 144(i)(2) (a “Public Information Failure”) then, in addition to such Investor’s other available
remedies, the Company shall pay to an Investor, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such
delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Exchange Securities, an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate
Subscription Amount (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30th)
day (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (a) the date such Public Information
Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no longer required for the Investors to transfer the Exchange
Securities pursuant to Rule 144. The payments to which an Investor shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 6.15(b) are referred
to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.” Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier
of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third
(3rd) business day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured. In the event the
Company fails to make Public Information Failure Payments in a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear
interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Nothing herein shall limit such Investor’s
right to pursue actual damages for the Public Information Failure, and such Investor shall have the right to pursue all remedies
available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.


 


6.16         
No Legends. The Exchange Securities and the shares of Common Stock underlying the shares of Preferred Stock shall
be issued free of legends.


 


6.17         
Capital Changes. The terms and conditions set forth in Section 4.16 of the Purchase Agreement (Capital Changes) shall
be terminated and of no further force and effect upon execution of this Agreement.

(a)               
The terms and conditions set forth in Section 4.17 of the Purchase Agreement (Most Favored Nation Provision) shall be terminated
and of no further force and effect upon execution of this Agreement.


 


(b)              
From the date hereof until the date when such Investor no longer holds any Debentures, if the Company enters into any agreement
with, or issues or announces the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to the
Investor (“Subsequent Financing”), each Investor may elect, in its sole discretion, to exchange (in lieu of
cash subscription payments) all or some of the Debenture then held by such Investor for any securities or units issued in such
Subsequent Financing on a $1.00 for $1.00 basis based on the outstanding principal amount of such Debenture being surrendered;
provided, however, that this Section 6.18 shall not apply with respect to an Exempt Issuance. The Company shall provide
the Investor with at least 3 Business Days’ (provided that such Business Days shall not include Business Days that are Jewish
holidays) prior written notice of such Subsequent Financing with the Investor along with the material terms of such Subsequent
Financing such that the Investor may exercise its rights under this Section 6.18. In the event the Subsequent Financing would cause
such Investor’s beneficial ownership interest to exceed 4.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, then the
securities issued to the Investor in such Subsequent Financing shall contain appropriate conversion blockers in order to keep Investor’s
beneficial ownership to 4.9%.
