Brisben (“Brisben”), Ecosphere Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), and Sea of Green Systems, Inc., (“SOGS,” and together with the Lender, Brisben and the Company, the “Parties”).

WHEREAS, the Notes were originally secured by: (i) the Amended and Restated Security Agreement between the Company and the Holder, dated as of February 9, 2015, (ii) the Security Agreement between the Company and the Holder, dated as of March 19, 2015, (iii)  the Security Agreement between the Company and the Holder, dated as of May 8, 2015, (iv) the Security Agreement between the Company and the Holder, dated as of June 18, 2015, and (v) the Fidelity National Environmental Solutions, LLC Amended and Restated Collateral Assignment of Limited Liability Company Interest Proceeds, dated as of June 18, 2015, and (vi) the Ecosphere Mining, LLC Collateral Assignment of Limited Liability Company Interest Proceeds, dated as of June 18, 2015 (collectively, the “Original Security Agreements”).

WHEREAS, the Parties wish to enter into this Agreement to provide for the amendment of the Notes to extend the Original Maturity Date for a period of 12 months, to document the additional advances, and to provide for consideration for such extension. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1.

Extension of Notes.

(a) The Parties agree to amend the term of the Notes to extend the Original Maturity Date for a period of 12 months.  The Company shall promptly prepare, execute, and deliver to the Lender an Amended and Restated Note (the “Amended Note”) with a principal sum of $2,275,000 in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, evidencing the principal amount of the Notes and the $125,000 and $150,000 advances made on July 10 and August 17, 2015, respectively, and having a maturity date of September 12, 2016. Interest payable on the Amended Note shall be calculated as described in the Amended Note and as set forth on Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. 

1

 

(b) The Company hereby assigns to the Lender its rights to, and grants a security interest in, an account receivable from __________________ (the “Malaysian Customer”) and further grants the Lender a security interest in an EF10M water treatment system serial number ___________________ being manufactured for the Malaysian Customer, together with the proceeds thereof (collectively, the “Malaysian Customer Collateral”).  Upon receipt by the Lender of $150,000 from the Malaysian Customer, as well as interest on such principal amount in the fixed amount of $10,000 from the Company, the assignment of the account receivable and this security interest shall terminate, and the principal of the Amended Note shall be reduced by $150,000.  If the $150,000 plus interest is not paid when due, the Amended Note shall be further secured by the Malaysian Customer Collateral and such collateral shall become part of the Collateral as defined in the Original Security Agreements.

2.

Ownership Interest in SOGS.  In consideration of the extension of the term of the Notes, the Parties agree that SOGS shall issue authorized but unissued shares of SOGS common stock to Brisben in an amount of 12% of the total outstanding shares of common stock of SOGS (the “Pro Rata Interest”).

The Pro Rata Interest provided for in this Section 2 shall remain undiluted until the date that the common stock of SOGS is first registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Public Company Date”), and if SOGS issues additional common stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below) prior to the Public Company Date, SOGS shall issue Brisben  additional shares of authorized but unissued common stock of SOGS (the “Additional Shares”) in order to maintain the Pro Rata Interest set forth in this Section 2.  Common Stock Equivalents as used in this Section 2 shall mean any securities of SOGS or subsidiaries of SOGS which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time common stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, common stock. Provided, however, if a Common Stock Equivalent terminates without the issuance of any common stock, the Company shall cancel a number of Additional Shares to give effect to such termination.

3.

Purchase Rights.  In further consideration of the extension of the term of the Notes, the Parties agree that Brisben shall have the right to purchase 2,000,000 additional shares of SOGS common stock from SOGS at a price of $0.10 per share (the “Purchase Right”).  The Purchase Right shall be exercisable at any time prior to the Public Company Date.  If Brisben fails to exercise the Purchase Right prior to the Public Company Date, the Purchase Right shall terminate as of the Public Company Date.  All numbers of shares and per share are subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and similar events.  

4.

Amendments to Original Security Agreements.  The Original Security Agreements are hereby amended and the Collateral defined in the Original Security Agreements, which is hereby amended to include the Malaysian Customer Collateral upon failure to pay the $150,000 advance plus interest when due, shall hereby secure the Amended Note.

5.

Severability.

In the event any parts of this Agreement are found to be void, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless be binding with the same effect as though the void parts were deleted.

Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  The execution of this Agreement may be by actual or facsimile signature.
