 Pegasus Capital Advisors, L.P. 

c/o Pegasus Capital Advisors

 Cos Cob, CT 06807 
 Gentlemen:

 Reference is made to the Series H Preferred Stock Subscription Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the
“Subscription Agreement”), between Lighting Science Group Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and RW LSG Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited partnership (“Purchaser”), pursuant to which
Purchaser shall acquire shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Series H Preferred”) issued pursuant to the certificate of designation with respect to the Series H Preferred, a
copy of which is attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Series H Certificate”), which Series H Preferred will be convertible into shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common
Stock”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 5 below; capitalized terms used but not defined herein will have the meanings therefor set forth in the Series H Certificate. To induce Purchaser to enter
into the Subscription Agreement, you have agreed to enter into this letter agreement providing for certain agreements with respect to certain potential future events or transactions involving Pegasus Capital Advisors, L.P. (“PCA”)
and/or its Affiliates (collectively with PCA, the “Pegasus Group”). Therefor, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the parties to this letter agreement hereby agrees as follows:

 1. In the event of any Transfer of Company Securities by the Pegasus Group to an unaffiliated third party, Purchaser and
(x) prior to a Control Event (as defined in the Series H Certificate) any Affiliate to whom Purchaser has transferred Company Securities and (y) following a Control Event, any person or entity to whom Purchaser has transferred Company
Securities in a single transaction by which Purchaser Transfers greater than 25% of the Capital Stock acquired pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, calculated on an as-converted to Common Stock basis (Purchaser, collectively with the persons or
entities identified in clauses (x) and (y), the “Co-Sale Offerees”) shall have the right to participate in such Transfer by selling a pro rata share of Company Securities as calculated in accordance with this
Section 1. Each Co-Sale Offeree’s pro rata share shall be, (A) in the event that such Transfer is in respect of Capital Stock or other Company Securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for Capital Stock, equal
to the product of (i) the number of shares of Capital Stock (on an as converted basis) to be transferred and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total Capital Stock (on an as converted basis) owned by such Co-Sale Offeree and
the denominator of which is the total Capital Stock (on an as converted basis) owned by all Co-Sale Offerees and the Pegasus Group at such time and (B) in the event that such Transfer is in respect of Company Securities not convertible,
exchangeable or exercisable for Capital Stock, equal to the product of (i) the fair market value of such Company Securities to be transferred and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the fair market value of such Company Securities
owned by such Co-Sale Offeree and the denominator of which is fair market value of such Company Securities owned by all Co-Sale Offerees and the Pegasus Group at such time. The term “fair market value” shall mean the fair market
value (1) as determined based on the purchase price of the Company Securities in the proposed Transfer, (2) if not so determinable, as mutually agreed by the parties hereto in writing








 
or (3) if they cannot agree after seven (7) days following the initiation of discussions between the parties with respect thereto, the fair market value as determined by an independent
appraiser selected by the parties hereto, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid in inverse proportion (based on the difference in the parties’ proposed valuation submitted to the independent appraiser) to such determination. Such
participation must be in accordance with the following procedures and is subject to the following limitations: 

a. A member of the Pegasus Group shall give Purchaser not less than ten (10) days prior written notice (the
“Co-Sale Notice”) of any proposed Transfer of Company Securities by any member of the Pegasus Group other than a transfer (i) to an Affiliate of any member of the Pegasus Group, (ii) a pro rata in-kind distribution
or dividend to the equityholders of Pegasus Partners IV, L.P. who were equityholders thereof on the date hereof (provided, that such distribution or dividend shall not result in a Transfer to any such equityholder of more than 15% of the
Company Securities held by the Pegasus Group as of the date hereof; provided, further, that such distribution or dividend shall not be structured so as to avoid the occurrence or triggering of a Change of Control (as defined in the
Series H Certificate)), (iii) pursuant to any transaction which gives rise to registration rights (whether “demand” or “piggy-back”) under that certain Registration Rights Agreement, by and among the Company and RW LSG
Holdings LLC and RW LSG Management Holdings LLC, dated as of the date hereof, (iv) pursuant to that certain Commitment Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between the Company, PCA, Pegasus Partners IV, L.P., PCA LSG Holdings, LLC and
LSGC Holdings II LLC (provided, that such Transfer is made in accordance with the terms thereof, as in effect from time to time), and (v) pursuant to the exercise of an Optional Redemption Right (as defined in the certificate of
designation for the Series I Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company) or (vi) by PCA LSG Holdings, LLC with respect to not more than 17,650 Series G Units (“Series G Units”), each comprised of
(A) one share of Series G Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Series G Preferred Stock”) and (B) and 83 shares of Common Stock or any shares of Series G Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued
pursuant to a purchase thereof, and any securities of the Company into which the Series G Units or the Series G Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued pursuant to a purchase thereof may be converted or exchanged. Such Co-Sale Notice shall set forth
(i) the quantity and type of Company Securities proposed to be Transferred by all members of the Pegasus Group, the purchase price proposed to be paid therefor and the payment terms, (ii) the Company’s calculation of the quantity of
Company Securities that the Co-Sale Offerees shall be entitled to Transfer to the Co-Sale Buyer and the purchase price therefor (to the extent the Pegasus Group is Transferring any Company Securities other than those convertible, exchangeable or
exercisable for Capital Stock), in each case calculated as provided in this Section 1, on an as-converted to Common Stock basis and (iii) the identity of the proposed transferee (the “Co-Sale Buyer”) and any other
material terms and conditions of such sale, including the proposed transfer date. The parties hereby agree (x) to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to prepare the calculations set forth in clause (ii) of the
preceding sentence and (y) if the Company fails to deliver such calculations in a reasonable time frame, the parties shall jointly prepare such calculations. The failure of the Company to prepare such calculations will not toll the ten
(10) day notice period set forth above. The Co-Sale Offerees will have the right, exercisable by written notice to PCA within ten (10) days after receipt of the Co-Sale Notice, to elect to sell up to their respective pro rata share
of Company Securities to 

  
 2 








 
the Co-Sale Buyer in such proposed Transfer, upon the same terms and conditions with respect to payment as the Pegasus Group (and to the extent different members of the Pegasus are selling on
different terms, the most favorable to the Co-Sale Offerees thereof). The failure of any Co-Sale Offeree to respond within such 10-day period shall be deemed to be a waiver of such Co-Sale Offeree’s rights to participate in such proposed
Transfer pursuant to this Section 1.a. If the number of shares Company Securities elected to be Transferred by the Co-Sale Offerees pursuant to this Section 1.a together with the Company Securities proposed to be Transferred
by the Pegasus Group is greater than the Company Securities the Co-Sale Buyer wishes to acquire, the amount of Company Securities to be sold by the Pegasus Group shall be proportionately reduced, based on Company Securities proposed to be
Transferred to the extent necessary to provide for such sales of Company Securities hereunder by the Co-Sale Offerees. 
 b. The closing of any proposed Transfer in respect of which a Co-Sale Notice has been delivered shall occur simultaneously with respect to the Pegasus Group and the Co-Sale Offerees. At such closing, the
Co-Sale Offerees electing to sell Company Securities shall deliver to the Co-Sale Buyer the Company Securities to be sold thereto and shall receive in exchange therefor the consideration to be paid or delivered by the proposed transferee in respect
of such Company Securities in accordance with Section 1.a hereof. 
 c. In connection with a Transfer
of Company Securities by a member of the Pegasus Group in which a Co-Sale Transferee has elected to participate, each such Co-Sale Offeree may be required to the make the same representations and warranties, and agree to the same indemnities,
covenants and other agreements as each member of the Pegasus Group, provided, however, that with respect to individual representations and warranties of any stockholder as to the unencumbered title to its Company Securities and the power, authority
and legal right to Transfer such Company Securities, which are, for the avoidance of doubt, required to be made without exception, such individual representations and warranties may differ from those made by the Pegasus Group based on the specific
facts and circumstances related to such Co-Sale Offeree and no Co-Sale Offeree shall be liable for breaches of any representation or warranty with respect to the unencumbered title to Company Securities and/or the power, authority and legal right to
Transfer such Company Securities of any member of the Pegasus Group; provided further, however, that (i) no Co-Sale Offeree shall be required to make, or otherwise be subject to any liability in respect of, any representations or
warranties or indemnities, covenants or agreements with respect to the proposed Transfer other than on a several and not joint basis, (ii) in no event shall any Co-Sale Offeree be obligated to agree to any non-compete, non-solicit, no-hire or
other restrictive covenant in connection with such Transfer, and (iii) in no event shall any Co-Sale Offeree be liable for any amount in excess of the proceeds (net of any fees and expenses of such Transfer, including, without limitation, those
of the Co-Sale Offerees, which shall be borne pro rata by all participants in such transaction) actually paid to such Co-Sale Offeree in such proposed Transfer. 
 d. No member of the Pegasus Group shall structure the terms of any proposed Transfer in a manner intended to unreasonably limit the ability of the Co-Sale Offerees to participate in the proposed Transfer.
In furtherance of the foregoing, no member of the Pegasus Group shall prohibit or seek to prohibit, exercise any veto right it may be entitled to, fail to provide or withhold any necessary consent it may be entitled to, or take any action or fail to
take any action which could restrict or limit the right of any Co-Sale Offeree to participate in the proposed Transfer.

 2. Pursuant to Section 5(e) of the Series H Certificate, in the event of a Control
Event (as defined therein), Purchaser shall have the right to take certain actions as provided in the Series H Certificate. PCA agrees, on behalf of the Pegasus Group, that to facilitate the exercise by Purchaser of its rights under the Series H
Certificate, a proxy in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto (“Proxy”) will be executed and delivered to Purchaser immediately upon request upon the occurrence of a Control Event by each member of the Pegasus Group that owns
(or to the extent that any such securities are owned in “street name”, beneficially owns) voting Company Securities as of such date, and by each other member of the Pegasus Group that subsequently owns voting Company Securities during the
duration of such Control Event. PCA (a) represents and warrants that no member of the Pegasus Group has entered, and covenants that during the term of this letter agreement no member of the Pegasus Group will enter, into any voting agreement or
voting trust other than for Company directors who are affiliated with members of the Pegasus Group or as set forth in the Series H Certificate and (b) represents and warrants that no member of the Pegasus Group has granted, and covenants that
during the term of this letter agreement no member of the Pegasus Group will grant, a proxy or power of attorney, in each case in clauses (a) and (b) with respect to voting Company Securities of such member to the extent inconsistent with
the terms of the Proxy and the obligations to enter into thereto hereunder. PCA also agrees to, and to cause each other member of the Pegasus Group to, take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the
intent of this Section 2 and the Proxy and hereby revokes any proxy previously granted with respect to the Company Securities as held on the date hereof that would be inconsistent with the Proxy if executed on the date hereof.

 3. At least ten (10) business days prior to PCA or any member of the Pegasus Group, on the one hand, or the Purchaser,
on the other hand (either, as the case may be, the “Noticing Party”) exercising any demand registration right or plans to initiate an underwritten shelf take-down pursuant to any registration rights agreement that they may be party
to with the Company, the Noticing Party shall deliver to the other party (i.e., Purchaser or PCA, as the case may be, the “Recipient Party”), written notice thereof, which notice shall include in reasonable detail a description of
the proposed registration or underwritten shelf takedown, the number of Company Securities proposed to be registered, the timing of such registration or underwritten shelf takedown, the proposed method and plan of distribution, and the other terms
and conditions of such proposed registration or underwritten shelf takedown. If Recipient Party or any of its Affiliates notifies the Noticing Party in writing prior to the expiration of such ten (10) business day period of its desire to also
exercise its demand registration rights or initiate such an underwritten shelf takedown pursuant to its registration rights agreement with the Company, the Noticing Party, on the one hand, and Recipient Party and its Affiliates, on the other hand,
shall each coordinate their respective demand registration rights and underwritten shelf takedowns such that each shall be deemed to be a “demanding” or “initiating” or comparable party pursuant to its respective registration
rights agreement with the Company. Each of the Pegasus Group, on the one hand, and Purchaser and its Affiliates, on the other hand, agree that if they both intend to register and/or Transfer securities pursuant to a registration statement of the
Company in circumstances in which a managing underwriter has informed the Company that not all of their respective Company Securities so elected may be registered or Transferred, each agrees that it shall only Transfer Company Securities pursuant to
such registration statement on a pari passu basis, whether in connection with a demand registration, shelf registration, or piggyback registration.

 4. Each party hereto represents that this letter agreement has been duly and validly
executed and delivered by such party and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other party hereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such party, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms. 

5. As used herein, the following capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth below: 

“Company Securities” means any Equity Securities or any debt securities of the Company. 

“Transfer” means, as a noun, any voluntary or involuntary transfer, sale, pledge or hypothecation or
other disposition, whether directly or indirectly and whether through one or a series of transactions (including by way of a change of control of any member of the Pegasus Group), and, as a verb, voluntarily or involuntarily to transfer, sell,
pledge or hypothecation or otherwise dispose of, whether directly or indirectly and whether through one or a series of transactions. 
 6. Any provision of this letter agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by each of PCA and Purchaser or, in the
case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall affect or operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise
thereof or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any
kind or character on the part of Purchaser of any breach or default under this Agreement or any such waiver of any provision or condition of this Agreement must be in writing by Purchaser and shall be effective only to the extent in such writing
specifically set forth. 
 7. Any and all notices or other communications required or permitted to be delivered hereunder shall
be deemed properly delivered if (i) delivered personally, (ii) mailed by first class, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (iii) sent by next day or overnight mail or delivery or (iv) sent by

Group, Pegasus Capital Advisors, 99 River Road, Cos Cob, CT, 06807, Fax (203) 869-6940, Attn: General Counsel. Any party may change the name and address of the designee to whom notice shall be sent by giving written notice of such change to the
other party. 
 8. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this letter agreement is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void, unenforceable or against its regulatory policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this letter agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no
way be affected, impaired or invalidated. Upon such determination that any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this letter agreement is invalid, void, unenforceable or against regulatory policy, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good
faith to modify this letter agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

 9. This letter agreement (a) constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto
with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, formal or informal, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and (b) shall not be assigned by
operation of law or otherwise, except that Purchaser may assign all or any of its rights and obligations hereunder to (i) any of Purchaser’s Affiliates to whom the Capital Stock held by Purchaser is Transferred in a Permitted Transfer or
(ii) in accordance with clause (y) of Section 1 above. Purchaser’s rights under this agreement shall terminate at such time that it, together with its Affiliates, beneficially owns less than 5.0% of the Company Securities
they collectively own as of the date hereof (as calculated on an as converted basis). 
 10. The parties agree that the remedies
at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived. Accordingly, in the event
of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this letter agreement, the party or parties who are or are to be thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or
other equitable relief of its rights under this letter agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. 

11. This letter agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to
conflict of laws principles that would result in the application of the law of a different jurisdiction. 
 12. Each of the
parties hereto irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any state court located within New Castle County, State of Delaware in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this letter agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby, agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware for such persons and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such
jurisdiction, venue and process. Each party hereto hereby agrees not to commence any legal proceedings relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any jurisdiction or courts other than as provided herein.
Each party hereto hereby consents to service of process in any such proceeding in any manner permitted by Delaware law, and agrees that service of process by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant
to Section 7 hereof is reasonably calculated to give actual notice. 
 13. This letter agreement may be executed in
two or more counterparts (including via facsimile and email in PDF format), all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to
