(b)Client agrees to
defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Consultant and its Personnel (each of the foregoing being an “Indemnitee”
and all of the foregoing being collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, actions, damages,
liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses (including all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, legal assistants and paralegals
which may be incurred in the investigation or defense of any matter and, in the event of litigation, at all trial and appellate

on any federal, state, local or foreign laws or regulations, under common law on an equitable cause, or on contract or otherwise,
by reasons of an Indemnitee’s services to Client provided, however, that the Client shall not be liable to any Indemnitee
to the extent such claims, damages, liabilities and expenses are found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction
to have resulted primarily and directly from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the event this
indemnity is unenforceable against any Xzeres Company as a matter of applicable law as to a particular matter or consequence referred
to herein, it shall be enforceable against such Xzeres Company and against the other Xzeres Companies to the full extent permitted

and obligations of Client contained herein shall survive the termination of the relationship between Consultant or any Indemnitee
and Client.

 

11.Confidentiality. Consultant shall maintain
in strict confidence any information of a non-public nature relating to Client, or their businesses that Consultant may gain or
develop in the course of its engagement by Client, and shall not disclose any such information to any person during or after its
engagement by Client except: (i) information that is legally in Consultant’s possession prior to the disclosure of such information
hereunder; (ii) information that, subsequent to its disclosure hereunder, becomes publicly available through no fault of Consultant;
(iii) information that becomes legally available to Consultant on a non-confidential basis from any third party; (iv) information
that Consultant discloses as permitted or required by law or order of court; and (v) information that is disclosed with the consent
of Client. Notwithstanding the above, Consultant shall be permitted to disclose any information regarding Client to Consultant’s
Personnel who need to know such information to perform the services described in the Authorization. Upon termination of this Agreement,
Consultant shall return to Client all materials of a non-public nature received from Client in the course of the engagement (other
than Consultant’s work product), and shall either deliver to Client or destroy any copies thereof that it may have made or
received.

    	2

party. Upon termination of this Agreement by (i) Client, Consultant shall be entitled to be paid in full, in cash all unpaid expenses

Xzeres Corp

9025 Southwest Hillman Court #3124

Wilsonville, Oregon 077070

Attention: Mr. Steve Shum

Chief Executive Officer

 

Gentlemen:

 

We are pleased to confirm the arrangements
under which Max Value Advisors, LLC (“Financial Advisor”) has been exclusively engaged by each of Xzeres Corp (“Xzeres
Corp”) and Xzeres Energy Services Corporation (“Energy”) and Xzeres Wind Europe, Ltd (“Wind, together with
Xzeres Corp and Energy, collectively, the “Company” or “Xzeres”) to provide strategic consulting services
related to the Company’s existing and future operations and financial advisory services related to any M&A Transaction,
Financing Transaction, or combination thereof, whether effectuated in one transaction or a series of transaction (each a “Transaction”)
or such other services as the Company requires.

 

During the term of its engagement, Financial
Advisor will provide such financial advice and assistance in connection with a potential Transaction as the Company may reasonably
request. It is understood that assistance rendered by Financial Advisor
with respect to the Transaction will be on a “best efforts” basis.

 

Financial Advisor’s
Role

 

Financial Advisor will:

 

	Evaluate the Company’s strategic options, including a possible
sale or disposition of the Company’s assets, the Company’s debt capacity and alternative capital structures, and the
Company’s ability to raise additional equity capital;
	Advise the Company as its exclusive financial advisor on all aspects
of a potential Transaction, including timing, structure and terms;
	Assist the Company, if required, to draft an informational offering
memorandum, and to solicit, coordinate and evaluate indications of interest regarding a Transaction;
	Assist the Company with the design of any debt and equity securities
or other consideration to be issued in connection with a Transaction;
	Advise the Company as to potential mergers or acquisitions, and
the sale or other disposition of any of the Company’s assets or businesses;
	Assist the Company in communications and negotiations with its
constituents, including, creditors, employees, vendors, shareholders and other parties-in-interest in connection with any Transaction;
	Render such other financial advisory and investment
banking services as may be mutually agreed upon by Financial Advisor and the Company; and
	Participate in negotiations among the Company, its existing and
future lenders, and its creditors, suppliers and other vendors.

Compensation

 

Monthly Fee:

 

For services performed
by Financial Advisor from the date of this Agreement through the period ending eighteen (18) months from the date hereof, the Company
shall pay Financial Advisor a monthly fee in the amount of $40,000 per month (the “Monthly Fee”), which shall be payable
in cash on the first day of each month during the term of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Budget attached as
Exhibit “A”(the “Budget”) to the Company’s Loan and Security Agreement, dated of even date herewith
(the “Loan Agreement”) with Renewable Power Resources, LLC (“Lender”). In the event the amount of the Monthly
Fee payable in cash, together with the amount of the fees due Hofflich & Associates (“Management Consultant”) and
the amount of interest and fees payable to Lender in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement exceeds the amount budgeted
for Total Interest, Loan Fees and Management Fees for such month, Financial Advisor agrees to defer that portion of the Monthly
Fee that exceeds the amount payable in accordance with the Budget, which amount shall be payable in full accordance with the terms
set forth herein. The Company acknowledges and agrees that this agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the Monthly
Fee shall be due and payable to Financial Advisor in accordance with the terms of this agreement as consideration for the services
being provided by Financial Advisor, and shall survive after the repayment of the obligations due Lender by the Company under the
terms of the Loan Agreement.

 

Transaction Fee:

 

In consideration for Financial Advisor’s
services, the Company shall pay directly out of the gross proceeds of any Transaction as a cost of the Transaction a cash fee in
the amount of ten (10%) percent of the Transaction Value in the event the Transaction Value.

 

An “M&A Transaction”
shall mean, collectively, (a) any merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, business combination or other transaction
pursuant to which the Company is acquired by, or combined with, any person, group of persons, partnership, corporation or other
entity (including, without limitation, existing lenders, creditors, employees, affiliates, and/or shareholders) (collectively,
an “Investor”); and/or (b) the acquisition, directly or indirectly by an Investor (or by one or more persons
or entities acting together with an Investor pursuant to a written agreement or otherwise), in a single transaction or a series
of transactions, of (i) all of, or any material, assets or operations of the Company or (ii) any outstanding or newly-issued shares
of the Company’s capital stock (or any securities convertible into, or options, warrants or other rights to acquire such
capital stock) (such capital stock and such other securities, options, warrants and other rights being collectively referred to
as “Company Securities” resulting in holders of shares of the Company’s capital stock immediately prior
thereto owning less than 50% of such capital stock immediately thereafter.

 

    	2

    	 

    

A “Financing Transaction”
shall mean, collectively, the issuance, whether public or private, of debt and/or equity securities for or on behalf of the Company
(whether to raise funds, refinance existing senior indebtedness, refinance outstanding securities or exchange securities or any
combination thereof) or such other financing of any type committed to complete any other Transaction.

 

For the purposes of this agreement, the
term “Transaction Value” includes (i) the total amount of proceeds and other consideration paid or received by the
Company, including, the total amount of cash, notes, securities and other property (whether tangible or intangible) paid, payable,
delivered or deliverable, directly or indirectly, for the assets, business or capital stock of the Company; (ii) the fair market
value of any assets, securities or other property or rights transferred, directly or indirectly, in payment for the assets, business
or stock of the Company (including, without limitation, payments to be made pursuant to any escrow or hold back, installment or
earn-out, under non-competition or similar arrangements, other than market rate employment on consulting arrangements, and any
deferred or contingent payments), except that debt instruments will be valued at the face amount thereof; (iii) the fair market
value of principal amount of any indebtedness for borrowed money appearing on the most recent balance sheet of the Company prior
to the consummation of the transaction and assumed by the purchaser; (iv) the total amount of notes, bank debt or junior and/or
subordinated debt raised or committed; and (v) any other value as may be determined through an appropriate proceeding in recognition
and furtherance of the purposes of this agreement. Financial Advisor acknowledges that the Transaction Value shall be adjusted
appropriately based on adjustments to the purchase price made in respect of changes to working capital. If, in lieu of receiving
all or any portion of the type of consideration payable to the other shareholders of the Company in connection with a transaction,
any shareholder directly or indirectly retains an ownership interest in Company or directly or indirectly acquires an ownership
interest in the corporation or other entity surviving or resulting from the transaction, the Transaction Value shall be calculated
by assuming that such shareholder had sold its entire ownership interest in the Company and received in exchange therefor an amount
per share equal to that received by the Company or the other shareholders of the Company, as the case may be, in the transaction.

 

For purposes of calculating the Transaction
Fee, the fair market value of securities for which there is an established trading market will be the closing sale price of the
securities on the trading day preceding the date of the closing of the transaction. The fair market value of any assets, securities,
property or rights (other than as provided above) will be mutually agreed by Financial Advisor and the Company. If the parties
cannot agree upon the fair market value of such assets, securities, property or rights, they will choose a qualified appraiser
of national standing to conclusively determine, at the Company's expense, such fair market value. Upon request, the Company will
make available to Financial Advisor any information available to it for purposes of calculating the amount of any component of
the Transaction Value.

 

    	3

    	 

    

The Transaction Fee will also become payable
by the Company upon consummation of (a) any merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other transaction or series
of related transactions pursuant to which the Company is acquired by or combined with another person or entity or (b) the acquisition,
directly or indirectly, by another person or entity, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of (i) all or any
portion of the assets or business of Company or (ii) securities representing 50% or more of the total voting power of the Company
in the election of Directors.

 

Expenses and Disbursements

 

The Company agrees
to reimburse Financial Advisor for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its duties
under this agreement, including but not limited to, reasonable fees and expenses including attorney’s fees that may be incurred
in connection with any specific legal issues that may arise. The Company agrees to the provisions
with respect to Financial Advisor’s indemnity and other matters set forth in
Appendix A which is incorporated by reference into this letter.

Warrants

 

Simultaneously with the execution and delivery
of the Loan Agreement, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Financial Advisor Initial Warrants in favor of the Financial
Advisor entitling the Financial Advisor to purchase an aggregate of 6,000,000 (six million) shares of Common Stock of Xzeres Corp.
at a per share exercise price of $0.35 (thirty-five cents), in each case subject to adjustment as provided therein during a term
of 48 (forty-eight) months, which Initial Warrant shall be substantially in the form attached.

Accrued Compensation

 

Each of Financial Advisor, the Management
Consultant and Lender have agreed that, in accordance with the terms of the Budget, the aggregate amount of fees payable in cash
to the Financial Advisor, the Management Consultant and Lender, for interest and fees in accordance with the terms of the Loan
Agreement, shall not exceed the aggregate sum of Total Interest, Loan Fees and Management Fees payable in cash per month in accordance
with the Budget. To the extent the fees and any expenses payable to the Financial Advisor are not paid in cash in full on a monthly
basis as provided in the Agreement, the Financial Advisor, at its option, may, at the earlier of (a) the time the Company repays
Lender in full in cash, or (b) the maturity date of this Agreement, either (i) receive payment in full in cash for the amount of
accrued and unpaid fees and expenses due and owing at such time or (ii) convert some or all of such accrued and unpaid fees and
expenses to Series A Warrants (which shall be substantially in the form attached), which warrants shall entitle the Financial Advisor,
upon exercise, to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock of Xzeres Corp. as shall be equal to the dollar amount being converted
times 3 (three), and to purchase such shares at an initial exercise price of $0.35 (thirty-five cents) per share, subject to adjustment
as provided therein during a term of 48 (forty-eight) months.

    	4

    	 

    

In addition, the Financial Advisor shall
have the option to purchase additional Series A Warrants, up to an amount not to exceed the amount of fees paid to the Financial
Advisor in cash during the term of this Agreement, which warrants shall entitle the Financial Advisor, upon exercise, to purchase
such number of shares of Common Stock of Xzeres Corp. as shall be equal to the dollar amount being purchased times 3 (three), and
to purchase such shares at an initial exercise price of $0.35 (thirty-five cents) per share, subject to adjustment as provided
therein during a term of 48 (forty-eight) months.

 

In order to coordinate our efforts to effect
a transaction satisfactory to the Company, each of Financial Advisor, and its officers, members and representatives, and the Company,
and its directors, shareholders, members and executive officers, will promptly inform each other of any inquiry either the Company
or Financial Advisor may receive concerning the availability of all or a portion of the stock or assets of the Company for purchase.
Each of Financial Advisor and the Company agree that prior to either the Company, or its directors, members, shareholders and executive
officers, and/ or Financial Advisor, or its officers, members and representatives, initiating any discussions with respect to any
Transaction, including a sale of the Company, each of the Company and Financial Advisor shall discuss and agree on a strategy,
which will be implemented in connection with initiating such discussions. In the event either the Company, or its directors, members,
shareholders and executive officers, or Financial Advisor, or its officers, members and representatives, initiates a discussion
or receives an inquiry regarding a potential Transaction, each of the Company and Financial Advisor agree that such discussion
will be preliminary and each will promptly contact the other to discuss any such initial contact and that any additional discussions
will not be conducted by either Financial Advisor, nor any of its officers, members or representatives, or the Company, nor any
of its members, shareholders, directors or executive officers, without first consulting with each other.

 

This agreement may not be terminated by
the Company until such time as a Transaction has been consummated and the fees payable by the Company to Financial Advisor under
the terms of this agreement have been paid. The Company acknowledges and agrees that this agreement shall remain in full force
and effect and the Transaction Fee shall be due and payable to Financial Advisor in accordance with the terms of this agreement
as consideration for the services being provided by Financial Advisor, and shall survive after the repayment of the obligations
due Lender by the Company under the terms of the Loan Agreement.

 

The
Company will provide Financial Advisor (and will request that each prospective purchaser with which the Company enters into negotiations
provide Financial Advisor) with such information as Financial Advisor reasonably deems appropriate in connection with its engagement
and will provide Financial Advisor with access to the Company's officers, directors and advisors. The Company will be solely responsible
for the accuracy and completeness of any information relating to the Company provided by it or on its behalf to Financial Advisor.
The Company acknowledges that Financial Advisor: (i) will not be independently verifying the publicly available information or
information supplied by or on behalf of the Company in connection with its engagement; (ii) does not assume responsibility for
the accuracy of any such information and (iii) will not make an appraisal of any assets or liabilities of the Company or any prospective
purchaser. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate an appropriate integration clause or similar provision
in any agreement with a prospective purchaser limiting the responsibility of the Company and its advisors to the representations
expressly set forth in such agreement.

in nature. Each party disclaims any intention to impose fiduciary obligations on the other by virtue of the engagement contemplated
by this agreement. This agreement is solely for the benefit of Financial Advisor, the Company and each of their respective officers,

APPENDIX
A

 

In the event that Financial Advisor becomes
involved in any capacity, other than as a plaintiff, in any action, proceeding or investigation brought by any person other than
any employee of Financial Advisor, or against any person, including the officers, directors and shareholders of Xzeres Corp and/or
the officers, directors and stockholders of Xzeres Energy Services Corp and/ or Xzeres Wind Europe, Ltd (collectively, the “Company”),
in connection with any matter related to the assignment described in this letter, the Company agrees to periodically reimburse
Financial Advisor for its legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation) reasonably incurred
in connection therewith; provided, however, that if it is found (or acknowledged by Financial Advisor) in any such action, proceeding
or investigation that any loss, claim, damage or liability of Financial Advisor has resulted from the gross negligence or bad faith
of Financial Advisor in performing the services which are the subject of this letter, Financial Advisor shall repay such portion
of the reimbursed amounts that is attributable to expenses incurred in relation to the act or omission of Financial Advisor which
is the subject of such finding. The Company also will indemnify and hold Financial Advisor harmless against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities to any such person in connection with any matter related to the assignment described in this letter, except
to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability results from the gross negligence or bad faith of Financial Advisor
in performing the services that are the subject of this letter. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable
to Financial Advisor or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by Financial
Advisor as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative economic
interests of the Company and its stockholders on the one hand and Financial Advisor on the other hand in the matters contemplated
by this letter as well as the relative fault of the Company, and Financial Advisor with respect to such loss, claim, damage or
liability and any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that unless it is finally judicially determined (or
acknowledged by Financial Advisor) that the loss, claim, damage or liability in question had resulted primarily from the gross
negligence or bad faith by Financial Advisor in performing the services that are the subject of this letter, in no event shall
Financial Advisor be required to contribute any amounts in excess of the fees received by it hereunder. The Company shall be liable
for any settlement of any claim against Financial Advisor made with the Company’s written consent, which consent shall not
unreasonably be withheld, and the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Financial Advisor, settle or compromise
any claim or permit a default or consent to the entry of any judgment in respect thereof, unless such settlement, compromise or
consent includes, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant to Financial Advisor of an unconditional release
from any and all liability in respect of such claim. Financial Advisor shall have the right to retain counsel of its own choice
to represent it in connection with any matter as to which the indemnity, expense reimbursement and contribution provisions apply.
The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Company under this paragraph shall be in addition to any liability
which the Company may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to any affiliate of Financial Advisor and
the directors, agents, employees and controlling persons (if any), as the case may be, of Financial Advisor and any such affiliate,
and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company
and Financial Advisor, any such affiliate and any such person. The indemnity obligations of the Company hereunder shall not extend
to any affiliate of Financial Advisor or to the directors, agents, employees, or controlling persons (if any), as the case may
be, of Financial Advisor or any such affiliate to the extent that any loss, claim, damage or liability results from the gross negligence
or bad faith of Financial Advisor or any such other person in performing the services which are the subject of the letter. The
Company also agrees that neither Financial Advisor nor any of such affiliates, directors, agents, employees or controlling persons
shall have any liability to the Company or its stockholders for or in connection with any matter referred to in this letter except
to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Company result from the gross negligence
or bad faith of Financial Advisor in performing the services that are the subject of this letter. The provisions of this Appendix
A shall survive any termination or completion of the engagement provided by this letter agreement and this letter agreement shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of
laws.
