make additional payments into the escrow as needed to maintain a balance of at least $50,000 in the account until 90 days prior
to the Maturity Dare after which the escrow may be fully disburse to pay monthly payments if interest through the Maturity Date.



5







2.2Use
of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loan shall be used (i) to fully pay the GridSense Loan and (ii) the balance shall provide
liquidity to Borrower for working capital purposes to fund its operating Subsidiaries and other costs. The Borrower will not, directly
or indirectly, use any part of such proceeds for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation
U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to extend credit to any Person for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
any such margin stock, or for any purpose which violates, or is inconsistent with, Regulation X of such Board of Governors. The
Borrower further agrees that the proceeds of the Loan have not been and shall continue not to be used to purchase any stock or
equity in any form or invest in or loan any funds to any entity other than to fund its operating Subsidiaries existing on the date
hereof.



2.3Note.
The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note issued to Lender.



2.4Principal
Amount. The principal amount payable under this Agreement and the Note at any time outstanding (the “Outstanding Principal
Amount”) shall be equal to the amount of the Loan increased by any Put Obligation less any payments against principal or
Put Obligation.



2.5Interest.
The Outstanding Principal Amount shall bear interest thereon from the date of the funding in the case of the Loan or from the date
of incurrence in the case of any Put Obligation, in each case at the Loan Interest Rate based on a year consisting of 360 days,
with interest computed daily based on the actual number of days elapsed.



2.6Default
Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations shall bear interest at
a rate per annum of twenty percent (20%) (the “Default Rate”). Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate
provided in this Section 26 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event
of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Lender.



2.7Payment.
Borrower will pay, or will direct the Escrow Agent to pay, interest on the Outstanding Principal Amount on the first Business Day
of each quarter, beginning October 1, 2015. The entire Principal Amount and all accrued but unpaid interest hereunder, and all
other Obligations with respect to the Loan, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date unless accelerated pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement. Borrower shall make all payments under this Agreement without setoff, recoupment or deduction and regardless
of any counterclaim or defense. Any and all payments shall be first applied to any accrued but unpaid interest.



2.8Initial
Shares; Vested Share Rights. In addition to the interest payable in cash provided for under this Agreement, Borrower shall
issue to Lender on the date of funding 850,000 shares of fully paid and nonassesable Common Stock of Borrower (the “Initial
Shares”). In addition to the interest payable in cash and the issuance of the Initial Shares provided for herein, Lender
shall become entitled to a vested right to receive, without payment of any additional consideration, an additional 179,167 shares
of Borrower Common Stock (each such vested right to receive one share, a “Vested Share Right”) per month for each full
month through the Maturity Date that the full Loan shall remain outstanding. The number of Vested Share Rights shall be prorated
to the extent less than the full principal amount is outstanding and/or for any partial month in which no principal amount is outstanding.
Subject to Borrower’s cash settlement rights referred to in Section 2.9 below, the Lender shall be entitled to receive all
Common Stock for all Vested Share Rights after the expiration of the Cash Settlement Period. Prior to expiration of the Cash Settlement
Period, Lender shall not be permitted to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Initial Shares or Vested Share Rights (or shares
underlying Vested Share Rights) except to a purchaser or transferee who agrees to be bound by the Borrower’s cash settlement
rights referred to in Section 2.9 below, and any such purported sale, transfer or disposition shall be void ab initio.



6







2.9Prepayment;
Cash Settlement. Borrower may pre-pay all principal of the Loan and interest accrued thereon at any time. In addition, Borrower
may at any time and from time to time on or prior to 30 days after the Maturity Date or 30 days after the earlier acceleration
or repayment of the Loan (such period being referred to herein as the “Cash Settlement Period”) (i) repurchase any
or all Initial Shares and (ii) settle any or all Vested Share Rights accrued under the Loan, for cash in lieu of stock. The cash
repurchase or settlement price shall be an amount equal to $0.30 for each (i) Initial Share so repurchased and (ii) Vested Share
Right so settled. Borrower’s right to (i) repurchase the Initial Shares and (ii) settle the Vested Share Rights in cash shall
be subject to Lender’s right to put the same to Borrower at a higher price as described under Capitalization Increase in
Section 9.3.



2.10Maximum
Interest. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the parties’ intent not to
contract for, charge or receive interest at a rate that is greater than the maximum rate permissible by law that a court of competent
jurisdiction shall deem applicable hereto (the “Maximum Rate”). If a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally
determine that Borrower has actually paid to Lender an amount of interest in excess of the amount that would have been payable
if all of the Obligations had at all times borne interest at the Maximum Rate, then such excess interest actually paid by Borrower
shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of the Obligations consisting of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan;
second, after all principal is repaid, to the payment of Lender’s accrued interest, costs, expenses, professional fees and
any other Obligations; and third, after all Obligations are repaid, the excess (if any) shall be refunded to Borrower.



2.11Fees
and Cost of Loan. The Borrower shall pay all costs associated with the Closing of the Loan, including, but not limited to,
any taxes and Lender’s legal fees, subject to a cap on Lender’s legal fees in the amount of $33,000.

it in accordance with their respective terms.

Borrower shall file a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Long Form Registration Statement”) covering the resale
of all of the shares of Borrower Common Stock issuable to Lender hereunder, whether or not rights thereto have vested (the “Registrable
Securities”). Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause such Long Form Registration Statement to be declared effective

may postpone for up to 30 days the filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement if the Board determines in its reasonable
good faith judgment that registration of the Registrable Securities covered thereby would (i) materially interfere with a significant
acquisition, corporate organization, financing, securities offering or other similar transaction involving Borrower; (ii) require
premature disclosure of material information that Borrower has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or
(iii) render Borrower unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act.



(d)Borrower
shall not include in any Long Form Registration Statement or Short Form Registration Statement any securities which are not Registrable
Securities without the prior written consent of Lender.



7.29Piggyback
Registration.

Borrower proposes to register the offer and sale of any shares of its common stock under the Securities Act (other than a registration
(i) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (or other registration solely relating to an offering or sale to employees
or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit arrangement), (ii) pursuant to a Registration
Statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor
rule thereto), or (iii) in connection with any dividend or distribution reinvestment or similar plan), whether for its own account
or for the account of one or more stockholders of the Company and the form of Registration Statement (a “Piggyback Registration
Statement”) to be used may be used for any registration of Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”),
Borrower shall give prompt written notice (in any event no later than thirty (30) days prior to the filing of such Registration
Statement) to Lender of its intention to effect such a registration and, subject to Sections 7.29 (b) and (c), shall include in
such registration all Registrable Securities of Lender. If any Piggyback Registration Statement pursuant to which Lender has registered
the offer and sale of Registrable Securities is a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or the then appropriate form for an offering
to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto (a “Piggyback
Shelf Registration Statement”), Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to be notified of and to participate
in any offering under such Piggyback Shelf Registration Statement (a “Piggyback Shelf Takedown”).



20







(b)If
a Piggyback Registration or Piggyback Shelf Takedown is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of Borrower and
the managing underwriter advises Borrower and Lender in writing that in its reasonable and good faith opinion the number of shares
of common stock proposed to be included in such registration or takedown, including all Registrable Securities and all other shares
of common stock proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds the number of shares of common stock which can be
sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in any such registration or takedown
would adversely affect the price per share of the common stock to be sold in such offering, Borrower shall include in such registration
or takedown (i) first, the shares of common stock that Borrower proposes to sell; (ii) second, the shares of common stock requested
to be included therein by Lender; and (iii) third, the shares of common stock requested to be included therein by holders of common
stock other than Lender, allocated among such holders in such manner as they may agree.



(c)If
any Piggyback Registration or Piggyback Shelf Takedown is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of Borrower, Borrower
shall select the investment banking firm or firms to act as the managing underwriter or underwriters in connection with such offering.

obligation to be observed or performed by the Borrower hereunder or under any Loan Document, Lender shall notify Borrower of such
failure and Borrower shall cure such failure within ten (10) business days thereafter. The failure of the Borrower to so cure such
failure within such ten (10) business day period shall constitute an Event of Default under this Subsection. The parties hereto
agree that the delay of Lender to so notify the Borrower as provided in this Subsection shall not constitute a waiver of any provision
of this Agreement but shall only require that Lender notify Borrower and Borrower be granted such right to cure such failure within
such period prior to the exercise of the Lender’s rights hereunder.

SECTION
9.REMEDIES



9.1General.
Upon and during the continuance of any one or more Events of Default, (i) all Obligations shall, at the election of Lender and
upon notice to Borrower, become immediately due and payable; (ii) Lender may, at its option, sign and file in Borrower’s
name any and all collateral assignments, notices, control agreements, security agreements and other documents it deems necessary
or appropriate to perfect or protect the repayment of the Obligations, and in furtherance thereof, Borrower hereby grants Lender
an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and (iii) Lender may notify any of Borrower’s account debtors
to make payment directly to Lender, and endorse Lender’s name without recourse on any such payment for deposit directly to
Lender’s account. Lender may exercise all rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral under the Loan Documents or
otherwise available to it under the UCC and other applicable law, including the right to release, hold, sell, lease, liquidate,
collect, realize upon, or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral and the right to occupy, utilize, process and
commingle the Collateral. All Lender’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive.



9.2Collection;
Foreclosure. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, at any time or from time to
time, apply, collect, liquidate, sell in one or more sales, lease or otherwise dispose of, any or all of the Collateral, in its
then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing, in such order as Lender may elect. Any such
sale may be made either at public or private sale at its place of business or elsewhere. Borrower agrees that any such public or
private sale may occur upon seven (7) calendar days’ prior written notice to Borrower. Lender may require Borrower to assemble
the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place designated by Lender that is reasonably convenient to Lender and Borrower.
The proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by Lender in
the following order of priorities:



First, to Lender in an amount sufficient
to pay in full Lender’s costs and professionals’ and advisors’ fees and expenses;



Second, to Lender in an amount equal
to the then unpaid amount of the Obligations (including principal and interest), in such order and priority as Lender may choose
in its sole discretion; and



Finally, after the full, final, and
indefeasible payment of all of the Obligations, to any creditor holding a junior Lien on the Collateral, or to Borrower or its
representatives or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.



Lender shall be deemed to have acted
reasonably in the custody, preservation and disposition of any of the Collateral if it complies with the obligations of a secured
party under the UCC.



In addition to the rights and remedies given
to Lender hereunder or otherwise, Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies to the Collateral of a secured party under the
Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Delaware and any other applicable jurisdiction.



23







9.3Put.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Section 8.2 with respect to the Capitalization Increase,
Lender shall be entitled to put all the Initial Shares and Vested Share Rights to Borrower, and Borrower shall be obligated (the
“Put Obligation”) to purchase all such Initial Shares and Vested Share Rights, at a purchase price equal to the total
number of such Initial Shares and Vested Share Rights multiplied by $0.40. Borrower shall pay to Lender the aggregate amount of
such Put Obligation within two (2) business days following Lender’s notice to Borrower that it is exercising such put right.
At such time that Lender notifies Borrower that it is exercising its put right under this Section 9.3 until such time as the aggregate
amount of such Put Obligation is paid to Lender, such aggregate amount of the Put Obligation shall be added to the principal amount
due under the Note.



9.4No
Waiver. Lender shall be under no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral for the benefit of Borrower or any other Person,
and Borrower expressly waives all rights, if any, to require Lender to marshal any Collateral.



9.5Cumulative
Remedies. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender hereunder shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given
by statute or rule of law and are cumulative. The exercise of any one or more of the rights, powers and remedies provided herein
shall not be construed as a waiver of or election of remedies with respect to any other rights, powers and remedies of Lender.

the Obligations or any transfer of Collateral to Lender, or any part thereof is rescinded, avoided or avoidable, reduced in amount,
or must otherwise be restored or returned by, or is recovered from, Lender or by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable
preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment, performance, or transfer of Collateral
had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, avoided, avoidable, restored, returned,
or recovered, the Loan Documents and the Obligations shall be deemed, without any further action or documentation, to have been

in the Publicity Materials; and (c) such other parties’ name, trademarks, servicemarks in any news or press release concerning
such party; provided however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such consent shall be required (i) to the extent

reasonably practicable) and (ii) to comply with Section 11.11.



29
