Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The undersigned lenders
(each a “Creditor”, and collectively referred to as “Creditors”) are creditors of Vuzix Corporation
(the “Company” or the “Borrower”)) and/or Vuzix (Europe) Limited and Vuzix Finland Oy, together
with any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company hereafter formed or acquired (each, a “Borrower” and collectively
referred to herein as “Borrowers”), and wish to accommodate the extension of credit by Hillair Capital Investments
L.P. (the “Senior Lender” and, collectively, the “Senior Lenders”) to the Company pursuant
to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated March 21, 2013, among the Company and the Senior Lender (the “Purchase
Agreement”) and the Transaction Documents thereto. Defined terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

In
order to induce Senior Lender to enter into the Transaction Documents and to extend credit thereunder and to grant such renewals
or extensions of such credit (including future loans or extensions of credit of up to $200,000) as Senior Lender may deem advisable,
each Creditor is willing to subordinate, on the terms of this agreement (the “Agreement”): (i) all of Borrower’s
indebtedness and obligations to Creditor, whether presently existing or arising in the future (the “Subordinated Debt”),
to all of the Borrower’s indebtedness and obligations to Senior Lender pursuant to the Debentures (and future loans or extensions
of credit of up to $200,000 and interest thereon); and (ii) all of Creditor’s security interests in the Borrower’s
property to all of Senior Lender’s security interests in the Borrower’s property in connection with the Transaction
Documents. NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

 

1. Any and all claims of Creditors
against any Borrower, now or hereafter existing, are, and shall be at all times, subject and subordinate to any and all claims,
now or hereafter existing which any Senior Lender may have against any Borrower (including any claim by the Senior Lenders for
interest accruing after any assignment for the benefit of creditors by any Borrower or the institution by or against any Borrower
of any proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code, or any claim by the Senior Lenders for any such interest which would have accrued
in the absence of such assignment or the institution of such proceedings) arising under the Debentures and future loans or extensions
of credit by Senior Lenders of up to $200,000 and interest thereon.

 

2. Each Creditor agrees (i) not
to commence or threaten to commence any action or proceeding, sue upon, or to collect, or to receive payment of the principal or
interest of any claim or claims now or hereafter existing which such Creditor may hold against any Borrower, (ii) not to sell,
assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, or encumber such claim or claims except subject expressly to this Agreement, and not to
enforce or apply any security now or hereafter existing therefor, (iii) not to file or join in any petition to commence any proceeding
under the Bankruptcy Code, and (iv) not to take any lien or security on any of Borrower's property, real or personal (which shall
not require the termination of a lien or security of Creditor that exists on the date hereof, provided that such lien or security
is not amended following the date hereof), in each case, until 91 days following the date all claims of Senior Lenders against
any Borrower have been indefeasibly satisfied in full.

‘

    	 

    	 

    

3. In case of any assignment for
the benefit of creditors by any Borrower or in case any proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code are instituted by or against any
Borrower, or in case of the appointment of any receiver for any Borrower's business or assets, or in case of any dissolution or
winding up of the affairs of any Borrower: (a) Each Borrower and any assignee, trustee in Bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession
or other person or persons in charge are hereby directed to pay to Senior Lenders the full amount of Senior Lenders claims against
any Borrower (including interest to the date of payment) before making any payment of principal or interest to Creditors, and insofar
as may be necessary for that purpose, each Creditor hereby assigns and transfers to the Senior Lenders all security or the proceeds
thereof, and all rights to any payments, dividends or other distributions, and (b) each Creditor hereby irrevocably constitutes
and appoints each Senior Lender its true and lawful attorney to act in its name and stead: (i) to file the appropriate claim or
claims on behalf of such Creditor if such Creditor does not do so prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file claims
in such proceeding and if any Senior Lender elects at its sole discretion to file such claim or claims and (ii) to accept or reject
any plan of reorganization or arrangement on behalf of Creditors, and to otherwise vote Creditors’ claim in respect of any
indebtedness now or hereafter owing from any Borrower to Creditors in any manner the Senior Lenders deem appropriate for their
respective own benefit and protection.

 

4. Each Senior Lender is hereby
authorized by Creditors to: (a) renew, compromise, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time of payment, or any other terms,
of the extension of credit pursuant to the Debentures and any future loans or extensions of credit of up to $200,000, (b) increase
or decrease the rate of interest payable thereon or any part thereof, (c) exchange, enforce, waive or release any security therefor,
(d) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof in such manner as such Senior Lender may at its discretion
determine, and (e) release any Borrower or any guarantor of any indebtedness of a Borrower from liability, all without notice to
Creditors and without affecting the subordination provided by this Agreement. Upon receiving the express written consent of the
Creditors (which consent right of the Creditors shall not apply to future loans or extensions of credit of up to $200,000 by Senior
Lenders), the Senior Lenders shall be authorized to make optional future advances to any Borrower.

 

5. Each Creditor hereby covenants
to not sell, assign, transfer or hypothecate the Subordinated Debt or any portion thereof unless the party to which such sale,
assignment, transfer or hypothecation is made shall execute and deliver this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, to the Senior
Lenders in advance as a condition precedent to such sale, assignment, transfer or hypothecation. Any sale, assignment, transfer
or hypothecation of Subordinated Debt by a Creditor that is not in compliance with this provision shall be null and void, ab
initio.

 

    	-2-

    	 

    

 

6. In the event that any payment
or any cash or noncash distribution is made to any Creditor in violation of the terms of this Agreement, such Creditor shall receive
same in trust for the benefit of the Senior Lenders, and shall forthwith remit it to the Collateral Agent (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement) in the form in which it was received, together with such endorsements or documents as may be necessary to effectively
negotiate or transfer same to the Senior Lenders.

 

7.Until all such claims of Senior
Lenders against the Borrowers, now or hereafter existing, shall be paid in full, no gift or loan shall be made by any Borrower
to any Creditor.

 

8. For violation of this Agreement,
each Creditor shall be liable for all loss and damage sustained by reason of such breach, and upon any such violation each Senior
Lender may, at its option, accelerate the maturity of any of its existing or future claims against any Borrower.

 

9. This Agreement shall be binding
upon the heirs, successors and assigns of Creditors, the Borrowers and the Senior Lenders. This Agreement and any existing or future
claim of a Senior Lender against a Borrower may be assigned by such Senior Lender, in whole or in part, without notice to Creditors
or such Borrower. In addition, the Company shall cause any direct and indirect subsidiaries hereafter formed or acquired to acknowledge
and agree to the terms hereof, and deliver written evidence to the Senior Lenders with respect thereto contemporaneous with any
such acquisition or formation.

 

10.Any and all notices or other
communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be delivered as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

11.All questions concerning the
construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the provisions
of the Purchase Agreement.

 

12.This Agreement may be executed
in counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when
counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign
the same counterpart.

 

13.The provisions of this Agreement
are solely to define the relative rights of the Creditors on the one hand and Senior Lenders on the other hand. Nothing in this
Agreement shall impair, as between the Company and the Creditors, the unconditional and absolute obligation of the Company to punctually
pay the principal, interest and any other amounts and obligations owing under the Subordinated Debt in accordance with the terms
thereof, subject to the rights of the Senior Lenders under this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among
the parties with respect to the matters covered hereby and thereby and supersede all previous written, oral or implied understandings
among them with respect to such matters.

 

    	-3-

    	 

    

 

14.The invalidity of any portion
hereof shall not affect the validity, force or effect of the remaining portions hereof. If it is ever held that any restriction
hereunder is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction to its fullest extent, such restriction shall be enforced to the
maximum extent permitted by law.

 

15.Each of the parties hereto
acknowledges that this Agreement has been prepared jointly by the parties hereto, and shall not be strictly construed against either
party.

NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the premises, covenants and promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt

now or hereafter granted to the Pledgee by the Pledgors pursuant to any agreement, document or instrument, including, but not limited

Pledgee may resort to any such collateral in such order and manner as they may elect.

 

SECTION
12.    Remedies upon Event of Default. Upon and after the occurrence of any Event of Default:

 

(a)    The
Agent may exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise

may also sell the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker's board or at any of
the Agent's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Agent may deem commercially
reasonable upon at least ten (10) days’ notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after
which any private sale is to be made. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice
of sale having been given. The Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place
fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Pledgor
acknowledges and agrees that the Pledged Collateral consisting of the Pledged Shares, and/or any other shares of common stock of
the Company, is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, and accordingly that no notice of the sale thereof need be given.
In addition, Agent may transfer all of the Pledged Collateral to Pledgees, who may hold all of such Pledged Collateral as payment
in full of the Obligations.

 

(b)    Any
cash held by the Agent or the Pledgees as Pledged Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Agent or the Pledgees in respect
of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral may, in the discretion of
the Agent or the Pledgees, be held as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter be applied (after payment of any amounts
payable pursuant to Section 12) in whole or in part against, all or any part of the Obligations. Any surplus of such cash or cash
proceeds held by the Agent or the Pledgees and remaining after payment in full of all the Obligations shall be paid over to the
Pledgors, pro-rata, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

SECTION
13.    Expenses. The Company shall upon demand pay to the Agent and/or the Pledgees the amount
of any and all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and the reasonable fees and expenses
of any experts and agents, which the Agent and/or Pledgee may incur in connection with (a) the administration of this Agreement,
(b) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Pledged Collateral,
(c) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Agent and/or Pledgee hereunder or (d) the failure by any Pledgor to
perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

 

SECTION
14.    Continuing Security Interest; Termination. This Agreement shall create a continuing security
interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations
(the “Termination Date”). On the Termination Date (i) the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and
all rights to the Pledged Collateral shall revert to the Pledgors and (ii) the Agent shall deliver to each Pledgor their respective
Pledged Shares and any and all necessary stock powers required to assign the Pledged Shares back into the name of each Pledgor.
Upon any such termination, the Agent shall, at the Pledgors’ expense, return, pro-rata, to the Pledgors such of the Pledged
Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof and execute and deliver to the Pledgors
such documents as the Pledgors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

 

SECTION
15.    Governing Law; Terms. For the convenience of the Agent, this Agreement shall be governed
by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws. Each
Pledgor agrees to submit to the in personam jurisdiction of the state and federal courts situated within the
City of New York, State of New York with regard to any controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Unless otherwise
defined herein, terms defined in Article 9 of the UCC are used herein as therein defined.

prepaid, to the addresses of the parties as set forth herein.

SECTION
17.    Waivers.

 

(a)    Waivers.
Each Pledgor waives any right to require the Pledgees to (i) proceed against any person, (ii) proceed against any other collateral
under any other agreement, (iii) pursue any other remedy, or (iv) make presentment, demand, dishonor, notice of dishonor, acceleration
and/or notice of non-payment.

 

(b)    Waiver
of Defense. No course of dealing between the Pledgors and the Pledgees, nor any failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising
on the part of the Agent or Pledgees, any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or under any of the other Transaction
Documents shall operate as a waiver. No single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or under
any of the other Transaction Documents shall preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise
of any other right, power, or privilege.

 

SECTION
18.    Rights Are Cumulative. All rights and remedies of the Agent and the Pledgees with respect
to the Pledged Collateral, whether established by this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or by law, shall be cumulative
and may be exercised concurrently or in any order.

 

SECTION
19.    Indemnity. Each Pledgor, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Agent, the Pledgees and their respective heirs, successors and assigns against and from all liabilities, losses and costs (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to the taking or the failure to take action in respect
of any transaction effected under this Agreement or in connection with the lien provided for herein, including, without limitation,
any and all excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral,
except to the extent resulting from their gross negligence or intentional misconduct. The liabilities of the Pledgors under this
Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

SECTION
20.    Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable. If any provision of this
Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall
affect only such provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such provision or part thereof
in any other jurisdiction, or any other provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.    

 

SECTION
21.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall
be considered an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

SECTION
22.    Amendments; Entire Agreement. This Agreement is subject to modification only by a writing
signed by the parties. To the extent any provision of this Agreement conflicts with any provision of the Debentures, the provision
giving Pledgees greater rights or remedies shall govern, it being understood that the purpose of this Agreement is to add to, and
not detract from, the rights granted to Pledgees under the Debentures. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute
the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however,
that no Pledgor may, without the prior written consent of the Pledgees, assign or delegate any rights, powers, duties or obligations
hereunder, and any such purported assignment or delegation without such consent shall be null and void.
