PURCHASE
AND SALE OF COMMON STOCK


 


Section
2.1   INVESTMENTS.


 


(a)  PUTS.
Upon the terms and conditions set forth herein (including, without limitation, the provisions of Article VII), on any Put Date
the Company may exercise a Put by the delivery of a Put Notice. The number of Put Shares that Investor shall purchase pursuant
to such Put shall be determined by dividing the Investment Amount specified in the Put Notice by the Purchase Price with respect
to such Put Notice.


 


(b)  PROMISSORY
NOTE; WARRANTS. As a condition for the execution of this Agreement by the Investor, the Company shall issue to the Investor a
promissory note in the principal amount equal to $5,000.00 (the “Note”) on the Subscription Date. In the event that

250,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 (“Warrant”). Such Warrant shall have a cashless exercise
provision. In the event that the Company issues an additional 5,000,000 Put Shares to Investor (i.e. 10,000,000 in aggregate),

Section
2.2   MECHANICS.


 


(a)  PUT
NOTICE. At any time and from time to time during the Commitment Period, the Company may deliver a Put Notice to Investor, subject
to the conditions set forth in Section 7.2; provided, however, that the Investment Amount identified in the applicable Put Notice,
when taken together with all prior Put Notices, shall not exceed the Maximum Commitment Amount. On the Put Date the Company shall
deliver to Investor’s brokerage account estimated put shares equal to the Investment Amount indicated in the Put Notice
divided by the Closing Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Put Date, multiplied by one hundred twenty five percent
(125%) (the “Estimated Put Shares”).


 


(b)  DATE
OF DELIVERY OF PUT NOTICE. A Put Notice shall be deemed delivered on (i) the Trading Day it is received by facsimile or otherwise
by Investor if such notice is received on or prior to 12:00 noon New York time, or (ii) the immediately succeeding Trading Day
if it is received by facsimile or otherwise after 12:00 noon New York time on a Trading Day or at any time on a day which is not
a Trading Day.


 


(c)  FLOOR
PRICE. In the event that, during a Valuation Period, the Closing Price on any Trading Day falls more than twenty five percent
(25%) below the average of the VWAP prices for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date of the Company’s
Put Notice (a “Floor Price”), for each such Trading Day, the parties shall have no right and shall be under no obligation
to purchase one tenth (1/10th) of the Investment Amount specified in the Put Notice, and the Investment Amount shall accordingly
be deemed reduced by such amount.


 


Section
2.3  CLOSINGS. At the end of the Valuation Period the Purchase Price shall be established and the number of Put Shares shall
be determined for a particular Put. If the number of Estimated Put Shares initially delivered to Investor is greater than the
Put Shares purchased by Investor pursuant to such Put, then immediately after the Valuation Period the Investor shall deliver
to Company any excess Estimated Put Shares associated with such Put. If the number of Estimated Put Shares delivered to Investor
is less than the Put Shares purchased by Investor pursuant to a Put, then immediately after the Valuation Period the Company shall
deliver to Investor the difference between the Estimated Put Shares and the Put Shares issuable pursuant to such Put. The Closing
of a Put shall occur upon the first Trading Day following the completion of the Valuation Period, whereby Investor shall deliver
the Investment Amount specified in the Put Notice, less the Par Value Payment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds
to an account designated by the Company. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable in
accordance with clause (a) of this Section 2.3, and provided that the Transfer Agent then is participating in the Depository Trust
Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer ("FAST") program, upon request of Investor, but subject
to the applicable provisions of Article VIII hereof, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Transfer
Agent to electronically transmit, prior to the applicable Closing Date, the applicable Put Shares by crediting the account of
the Investor's prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC") system, and provide proof
satisfactory to the Investor of such delivery. In addition, on or prior to such Closing Date, each of the Company and Investor
shall deliver to each other all documents, instruments and writings required to be delivered or reasonably requested by either
of them pursuant to this Agreement in order to implement and effect the transactions contemplated herein.

of enabling the Company to satisfy its obligation to issue the Put Shares to be issued in connection therewith. The number of
shares so reserved from time to time, as theretofore increased or reduced as hereinafter provided, may be reduced by the number
of shares actually delivered hereunder.


 


Section
6.2  LISTING OF COMMON STOCK. If the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Principal Market, it shall
include in such application the Put Shares, and shall take such other action as is necessary or desirable in the reasonable opinion
of Investor to cause the Common Stock to be listed on such other Principal Market as promptly as possible. The Company shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to continue the listing and trading of the Common Stock on the Principal Market (including,
without limitation, maintaining sufficient net tangible assets) and will comply in all respects with the Company's reporting,
filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the FINRA and the Principal Market.


 


Section 6.3  CERTAIN AGREEMENTS. So long as this Agreement remains in effect, the Company covenants and agrees that it will not, without
the prior written consent of the Investor, enter into any other equity line of credit agreement with a third party during the
Commitment Period having terms and conditions substantially comparable to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing
contained in the Transaction Documents shall restrict, or require the Investor's consent for, any agreement providing for the
issuance or distribution of (or the issuance or distribution of) any equity securities pursuant to any agreement or arrangement
that is not commonly understood to be an "equity line of credit."

Cap”).


 


Section
7.2  CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY TO DELIVER A PUT NOTICE AND THE OBLIGATION OF INVESTOR TO PURCHASE PUT

own more than 9.99% of the Common Stock following such Closing Date.


 


(i)  Principal
Market Regulation. The Company shall not issue any Put Shares, and the Investor shall not have the right to receive any Put

Section
9.2  INDEMNIFICATION. Each party (an “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other party
along with its officers, directors, employees, and authorized agents, and each Person or entity, if any, who controls such party
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (an “Indemnified Party”)
from and against any Damages, joint or several, and any action in respect thereof to which the Indemnified Party becomes subject
to, resulting from, arising out of or relating to (i) any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of or failure
to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Indemnifying Party contained in this Agreement, (ii) any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof
or supplement thereto, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading, (iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in any preliminary prospectus or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to
make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading,
(iv) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any
rule or regulation under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, as such Damages are incurred, except
to the extent such Damages result primarily from Indemnified Party's failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained in
this Agreement or Indemnified Party's negligence, recklessness or bad faith in performing its obligations under this Agreement;
provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any Damages of an Indemnified Party to the extent,
but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
made by an Indemnifying Party in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Indemnifying Party
by the Indemnified Party expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any post-effective amendment thereof or supplement thereto,
or any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus (as amended or supplemented).


 


Section 9.3  METHOD OF ASSERTING INDEMNIFICATION CLAIMS. All claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party (as defined below)
under Section 9.2 shall be asserted and resolved as follows:


 


(a)  In
the event any claim or demand in respect of which an Indemnified Party might seek indemnity under Section 9.2 is asserted against
or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a person other than a party hereto or an affiliate thereof (a "THIRD
PARTY CLAIM"), the Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notification, enclosing a copy of all papers served, if any,
and specifying the nature of and basis for such Third Party Claim and for the Indemnified Party's claim for indemnification that
is being asserted under any provision of Section 9.2 against an Indemnifying Party, together with the amount or, if not then reasonably
ascertainable, the estimated amount, determined in good faith, of such Third Party Claim (a "CLAIM NOTICE") with reasonable
promptness to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to provide the Claim Notice with reasonable promptness after
the Indemnified Party receives notice of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify the
Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim to the extent that the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend has been
prejudiced by such failure of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party as soon as practicable
within the period ending thirty (30) calendar days following receipt by the Indemnifying Party of either a Claim Notice or an
Indemnity Notice (as defined below) (the "DISPUTE PERIOD") whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability or
the amount of its liability to the Indemnified Party under Section 9.2 and whether the Indemnifying Party desires, at its sole
cost and expense, to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim.


 



    	18



    	 



    




 


(i)  If
the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend
the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 9.3(a), then the Indemnifying Party shall
have the right to defend, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying
Party, such Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be vigorously and diligently prosecuted
by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party (but only with
the consent of the Indemnified Party in the case of any settlement that provides for any relief other than the payment of monetary
damages or that provides for the payment of monetary damages as to which the Indemnified Party shall not be indemnified in full
pursuant to Section 9.2). The Indemnifying Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise
or settlement thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnified Party,
at any time prior to the Indemnifying Party's delivery of the notice referred to in the first sentence of this clause (i), file
any motion, answer or other pleadings or take any other action that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes to be necessary
or appropriate to protect its interests; and provided further, that if requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party
will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnifying Party in contesting
any Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest. The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control,
any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this clause (i), and except
as provided in the preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party may takeover the control of the defense or settlement of a Third Party Claim
at any time if it irrevocably waives its right to indemnity under Section 9.2 with respect to such Third Party Claim.


 


(ii)  If
the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to
defend the Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 9.3(a), or if the Indemnifying Party gives such notice but fails to prosecute
vigorously and diligently or settle the Third Party Claim, or if the Indemnifying Party fails to give any notice whatsoever within
the Dispute Period, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying
Party, the Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be prosecuted by the Indemnified Party in
a reasonable manner and in good faith or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnified Party(with the consent of the Indemnifying
Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnified Party will have full control of such defense and proceedings,
including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that if requested by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying
Party will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnified Party and
its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnified Party is contesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this clause (ii), if the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying
Party disputes its liability or the amount of its liability hereunder to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party
Claim and if such dispute is resolved in favor of the Indemnifying Party in the manner provided in clause (iii) below, the Indemnifying
Party will not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party's defense pursuant to this clause (ii) or of
the Indemnifying Party's participation therein at the Indemnified Party's request, and the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the
Indemnifying Party in full for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with such litigation.
The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant
to this clause (ii), and the Indemnifying Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.


 



    	19



    	 



    




 


(iii)  If
the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute its liability or the amount of its liability to
the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim under Section 9.2 or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within
the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability or the amount of its liability to the Indemnified Party
with respect to such Third Party Claim, the amount of Damages specified in the Claim Notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability
of the Indemnifying Party under Section 9.2 and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Damages to the Indemnified
Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability or the amount of its liability with respect to such
claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute;
provided, however, that if the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party
shall be entitled to institute such legal action as it deems appropriate.


 


(b)  In
the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim under Section 9.2 against the Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third
Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notification of a claim for indemnity under Section 9.2 specifying
the nature of and basis for such claim, together with the amount or, if not then reasonably ascertainable, the estimated amount,
determined in good faith, of such claim (an "INDEMNITY NOTICE") with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party.
The failure by any Indemnified Party to give the Indemnity Notice shall not impair such party's rights hereunder except to the
extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it has been irreparably prejudiced thereby. If the Indemnifying Party notifies
the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the claim or the amount of the claim described in such Indemnity Notice or fails
to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim or the amount of the
claim described in such Indemnity Notice, the amount of Damages specified in the Indemnity Notice will be conclusively deemed
a liability of the Indemnifying Party under Section 9.2 and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Damages to the
Indemnified Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability or the amount of its liability with respect
to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such
dispute; provided, however, that if the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the Claim Notice, the Indemnifying
Party shall be entitled to institute such legal action as it deems appropriate.


 



    	20



    	 



    




 


(c)  The
Indemnifying Party agrees to pay the Indemnified Party, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any
reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim.


 


(d)  The
indemnity provisions contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar rights of the Indemnified Party
against the Indemnifying Party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the Indemnifying Party may be subject to.

not publicly disclose the name of Investor without the prior written consent of such Investor, except to the extent required by
law. Investor acknowledges that this Agreement and all or part of the Transaction Documents may be deemed to be "material

further agrees that the status of such documents and materials as material contracts shall be determined solely by the Company,
in consultation with its counsel.

AMENDMENT
TO EQUITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT DATED JULY 2, 2014 


 


THIS
AMENDMENT is made this August 27, 2014 to that certain Equity Purchase Agreement (“EP Agreement”), dated
July 2, 2014, between COATES INTERNATIONAL, LTD., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), having an office
located at 2100 Highway 34 and Ridgewood Road, Wall Township, New Jersey 07719 and SOUTHRIDGE PARTNERS II, LP, a Delaware
limited partnership ("Investor").


WHEREAS,
the parties wish to amend certain provisions of the EP Agreement in order to further support the intention of the parties that
Investor’s binding obligation to purchase the securities being registered on Form S-1 to be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission is irrevocable.


NOW
THEREFORE THIS AMENDMENT WITNESSETH THAT in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants, agreements, representations
and warranties contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the parties hereby agree as follows:


FIRST


The
text of Section 2.1(b) shall be deleted and amended to read as follows:


“PROMISSORY
NOTE; RESTRICTED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.  As a condition for the execution of this Agreement by the Investor, the Company
shall issue to the Investor a promissory note in the principal amount equal to $5,000.00 (the “Note”) on the Subscription
Date.  In the event that the Company issues 5,000,000 Put Shares to Investor (“Milestone 1”), then the Company
shall, at its sole option, either pay $10,000.00 in cash to Investor, or issue to Investor the equivalent of $10,000.00 of unregistered,
restricted shares of its common stock. The number of such shares to be issued shall be calculated based on the closing price of
its common stock at the close of trading on the date that the Put Notice which enabled the Investor to achieve Milestone 1, is
completed. In the event that the Company issues an additional 5,000,000 Put Shares to Investor (i.e. 10,000,000 in aggregate)
(“Milestone 2”), then the Company shall, at its sole option, either pay $10,000.00 in cash to Investor, or issue to
Investor the equivalent of an additional $10,000.00 of unregistered, restricted shares of its common stock. The number of such
shares to be issued shall be calculated based on the closing price of its common stock at the close of trading on the date that
the Put Notice, which enabled the Investor to achieve Milestone 2, is completed.”


SECOND


The
last sentence of Section 10.6 of the EP Agreement which reads as follows shall be deleted:


“No
provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party to be charged
with enforcement.” shall be deleted.


IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to the EP Agreement to be executed as of the date first above
written above by their undersigned, duly authorized representatives.
