RECITALS


 


A.               
WHEREAS, on July 10, 2014, the Parties executed the underlying Confidential Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release
(the “Settlement Agreement”) and exchanged signatures.


 


B.                
WHEREAS, Paragraph 3 of the Settlement Agreement provided as follows:




Settlement Payment. Cyalume shall either:




a.pay the settlement amount of $4,547,851.47 (“Settlement Amount”); OR


 









    	 



    	 



    

 





b.make an initial good faith payment of $250,000 to OmniGlow
on July 10, 2014, by wire transfer to: “CitiBank, Acct. No. 35354087, ABA No. 021000089.” Within 21 days from the execution
of this Agreement, Cyalume shall make an additional down payment of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) payable Six Hundred Twenty-five
Thousand Dollars ($625,000.00) to Stanley Holland by wire transfer to “Wells Fargo, Acct. No. 0264433509, ABA No. 121000248”
and Three Hundred Seventy-five Thousand Dollars ($375,000.00) to OmniGlow by wire transfer. In addition, within 14 days from the
execution of this Agreement, Cyalume shall transfer 625,139 shares of Cyalume stock, one-half to Holland and one-half to OmniGlow.
Further, Cyalume may fully satisfy the remaining balance due on the Settlement Amount by either making additional payments by cash
and/or through cooperative manufacturing credits of (i) One Million Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,900,000.00) in cash or credits
if paid and received by OmniGlow within eighteen (18) months from the Effective Date of this Agreement, or (ii) Two Million Three
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,350,000.00) in cash or credits if paid and received by OmniGlow within twenty seven (27) months
from the Effective Date of this Agreement. If Cyalume fails to fully satisfy the payment obligation on the Settlement Amount through
2(b)(i) or 2(b)(ii), then after twenty seven (27) months from the Effective Date, any balance remaining from the Settlement Amount
will be due and payable plus accrued interest at simple interest rate of 10% per annum (“Interest Rate”) on the unpaid
balance (Settlement Amount less all payments made from the Effective Date forward) from the Effective Date until paid in full and
OmniGlow can use all available remedies to obtain payment of any balance. In order to avoid any confusion regarding the interest
calculation described in the preceding sentence, an example is provided as follows for illustration purposes only: From the
Effective Date, the remaining balance would be $4,297,851.47, reflecting $250,000 good faith payment to OmniGlow. This remaining
balance will accrue interest at the Interest Rate until next payment. Upon payment of an additional $1,000,000 by Cyalume, the
remaining balance will be reduced to $3,297,851.47 and this remaining balance will accrue interest at the Interest Rate from the
date of the $1,000,000 payment until further payments and so and so forth until the Settlement Amount is fully satisfied through
the payment options included herein.
