Plan, a copy of which is on file at the principal office of the Company in Boston, Massachusetts and that certain Restricted Stock
Award Agreement dated as of July 14, 2014, by and between the Company and James J. Barry PhD. No transfer or pledge of the shares
evidenced hereby may be made except in accordance with and subject to the provisions of said Plan and Award Agreement. By acceptance
of this certificate, any holder, transferee or pledgee hereof agrees to be bound by all of the provisions of said Plan and Award
Agreement.”

 

The following legend
shall be inserted on a certificate, if issued, evidencing Common Stock issued under the Plan if the shares were not issued in a
transaction registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws:

 

“Shares of stock represented
by this certificate have been acquired by the holder for investment and not for resale, transfer or distribution, have been issued
pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of applicable state and federal securities laws, and may not be offered
for sale, sold or transferred other than pursuant to effective registration under such laws, or in transactions otherwise in compliance
with such laws, and upon evidence satisfactory to the Company of compliance with such laws, as to which the Company may rely upon
an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company.”

 

All Awarded Shares
owned by the Participant shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and shall be represented by a certificate or certificates
bearing the foregoing legend.

 

7.         Delivery
of Certificates. If requested by the Participant in accordance with Section 6.4(a) of the Plan, the Company shall deliver
certificates for the Awarded Shares free of restriction under this Agreement promptly after, and only after, the Restriction Period
has expired without forfeiture pursuant to Section 4. In connection with the issuance of a certificate for Restricted

blank and deliver such certificate and executed stock power to the Company.

Shares until such time as the Awarded Shares are transferred in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however,
that this Section 9 shall not create any voting right where the holders of such Awarded Shares otherwise have no such
right.

 

10.         Adjustment
to Number of Awarded Shares. The number of Awarded Shares shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Articles 11-13
of the Plan.

 

11.         Specific

12.         Participant’s
Representations. Notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, the Participant hereby agrees that he will not acquire any Awarded

authority. Any determination in this connection by the Company shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The rights and obligations
of the Company and the rights and obligations of the Participant are subject to all Applicable Laws, rules, and regulations.

(excluding any conflict of laws rule or principle of Delaware law that might refer the governance, construction, or interpretation
of this Agreement to the laws of another state).

Right to Continue Service or Employment. Nothing herein shall be construed to confer upon the Participant the right to continue
in the employ or to provide services to the Company or the Group, whether as an Employee, Contractor, or Outside Director, or interfere
with or restrict in any way the right of the Company or the Group to discharge the Participant as an Employee, Contractor, or Outside
Director at any time.

 

16.         Legal
Construction. In the event that any one or more of the terms, provisions, or agreements that are contained in this Agreement
shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the
invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term, provision, or agreement shall not affect any other term, provision, or agreement that
is contained in this Agreement and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable
term, provision, or agreement had never been contained herein.

 

17.         Covenants
and Agreements as Independent Agreements. Each of the covenants and agreements that is set forth in this Agreement shall be
construed as a covenant and agreement independent of any other provision of this Agreement. The existence of any claim or cause
of action of the Participant against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense
to the enforcement by the Company of the covenants and agreements that are set forth in this Agreement.

Requirements. The Participant is hereby advised to consult immediately with his own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences

under (iii) below) the required tax withholding obligations of the Company; (ii) if the Company, in its sole discretion, so consents
in writing, the actual delivery by the Participant to the Company of shares of Common Stock that the Participant has not acquired
from the Company within six (6) months prior thereto, which shares so delivered have an aggregate Fair Market Value that equals
or exceeds (to avoid the issuance of fractional shares under (iii) below) the required tax withholding payment; (iii) if the Company,
in its sole discretion, so consents in writing, the Company’s withholding of a number of shares to be delivered upon the
vesting of this Award, which shares so withheld have an aggregate Fair Market Value that equals (but does not exceed) the required
tax withholding payment; or (iv) any combination of (i), (ii), or (iii). The Company may, in its sole discretion, withhold any
such taxes from any other cash remuneration otherwise paid by the Company to the Participant.

    	7AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This AGREEMENT
(the “Amendment”) is made and entered into this 15th day of July, 2014 by and between Martin P. Rosendale (the “Employee”)
and Cytomedix, Inc. (the “Company”) (collectively, the “Parties”).

WHEREAS,
the Parties entered into an Employment Agreement dated as of May 14, 2014 (the “Employment Agreement”); and

WHEREAS,
Section 2(d) (ii) of the Employment Agreement recited certain of the Company’s purported previous grants of stock options
to the Employee (the “Previous Grants”); and

WHEREAS, a
number of the Previous Grants were not validly granted because they exceeded the limit on the number of options that may be granted
by the Company within any calendar year period (the “Excess Grants”); and the Company has already (with the Employee’s
knowledge and consent) revised and reformed the Previous Grants to be consistent with applicable individual grant limits (such
reformed grants hereinafter called the “Reformed Grants”); and

WHEREAS,
the Parties now also wish to amend the Employment Agreement to reflect their respective intents with respect to the Reformed Grants;

NOW THEREFORE,
in consideration of the Company’s undertaking to provide in connection with its next grant of options to the Employee
a vesting schedule more favorable to the Employee than the four year vesting schedule provided in connection with the Excess Grants,
and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by the Parties, the Parties hereby agree
that Section 2(d) (ii) of the Employment Agreement be, and it hereby is amended, by adding thereto, the following sentence:

“Notwithstanding
the preceding or any other provision of this Agreement, Employee shall have rights to stock option(s) granted by the Company during
2014 only in numbers that conform to any limits on the number of stock options that may be granted to “Key Employees”
within any calendar year period under the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan.”

IN WITNESS WHEREOF,
the Parties hereto have executed this Amendment to the Employment Agreement, to be effective as of May 14, 2014.
