Baytree Capital Associates, LLC

40 Wall Street, 58th Floor

New York, NY 10005

 

Gentlemen:

 

In connection with
the engagement of Baytree Capital Associates, LLC (“Baytree”) to advise and assist Flux Power Holdings, Inc.(together
with its affiliates and subsidiaries, referred to as the “Company”) with the matters set forth in the Letter Agreement,
dated June 14, 2012 between the Company and Baytree (the “Agreement”), in the event that Baytree becomes involved in
any capacity in any claim, suit, action, proceeding, investigation or inquiry (including, without limitation, any shareholder or
derivative action or arbitration proceeding) (collectively, a “Proceeding”) in connection with any matter in any way
relating to or referred to in the Agreement or arising out of the matters contemplated by the Agreement, the Company agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold Baytree harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses in connection with any matter in any way relating to or referred to in the Agreement or arising out of
the matters contemplated by the Agreement, provided however, Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to indemnify Baytree
with respect to:

 

(a)          any
claim, issue or matter after Baytree is finally adjudged to be liable to the Company by a court of competent jurisdiction due to
gross negligence or willful misconduct unless and to the extent that a court or the court in which the action was heard determines
that Baytree is entitled to indemnification for such amounts as the court deems proper;

 

(b)          the
reporting or accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by Baytree of securities of the Company within the meaning of
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended, or similar provisions of any state statutory or common law;

 

(c)          
any claims or investigations conducted by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to Baytree and/or its affiliates; or

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

(d)          any
act or omission by Baytree that constitutes a breach of or default under any agreement between Baytree and the Company. In
addition, in the event that Baytree becomes involved in any capacity in any Proceeding in connection with any matter in any way
relating to or referred to in the Agreement or arising out of the matters contemplated by the Agreement, the Company will reimburse
Baytree for its legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation) as such expenses are incurred
by Baytree in connection therewith provide however, in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay for indemnification losses
and expenses incurred by Baytree in excess of the amount of fees actually received by Baytree pursuant to the Agreement. If
such indemnification were not to be available for any reason, the Company agrees to contribute to the losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses involved (i) in the proportion appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received or sought to be received
by the Company and its stockholders and affiliates and other constituencies, on the one hand, and Baytree, on the other hand, in
connection with the matters contemplated by the Agreement or (ii) if (but only if and to the extent) the allocation provided for
in clause (i) is for any reason held unenforceable, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company and its stockholders and affiliates and other constituencies,
on the one hand, and the party entitled to contribution, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. 
The Company agrees that for the purposes of this paragraph the relative benefits received, or sought to be received, by the Company
and its stockholders and affiliates and other constituencies, on the one hand, and the party entitled to contribution, on the other
hand, in connection with the matters contemplated by the Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same proportion that the total
value received or paid or contemplated to be received or paid by the Company or its stockholders or affiliates and other constituencies,
as the case may be, as a result of or in connection with the matters (whether or not consummated) for which Baytree has been retained
to perform financial services bears to the fees paid to Baytree under the Agreement; provided, that in no event shall the
Company’s contribution be more than the amount of fees actually received by Baytree pursuant to the Agreement.  Relative
fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any alleged untrue statement or omission or any other alleged
conduct relates to information provided by the Company or other conduct by the Company (or its employees or other agents), on the
one hand, or by Baytree, on the other hand.  The Company will not settle any Proceeding in respect of which indemnity may
be sought hereunder, whether or not Baytree is an actual or potential party to such Proceeding, without Baytree’s prior written
consent if any admission of wrong-doing, negligence or improper activity of any kind of Baytree is a part of such settlement. Baytree
shall not settle any action or proceeding which settlement requires the Company (or any insurance company providing coverage to
the Company) to pay any sums of money or property (including issuing any securities) without the express written consent of the
Company.  For purposes of this Indemnification Agreement, Baytree shall include Baytree Capital Associates, LLC, any of its
affiliates, each other person, if any, controlling Baytree or any of its affiliates, their respective officers, current and former
directors, employees and agents, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons.  The foregoing indemnity
and contribution agreement shall be in addition to any rights that any indemnified party may have at common law or otherwise.

 

    	2

    	 

    

  

            
This INDEMNIFICATION Agreement and any claim, counterclaim or dispute of any kind or nature
whatsoever arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement (“Claim”), DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.  Except as set forth below, no Claim may be commenced,
prosecuted or continued in any court other than the courts of the State of New York located in the City and County of New York
or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, which courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction over
the adjudication of such matters, and the Company and BAYTREE consent to the jurisdiction of such courts and personal service with
respect thereto.  The Company hereby consents to personal jurisdiction, service and venue in any court in which any claim
arising out of or in any way relating to this agreement is brought by anY third party against BAYTREE or any indemnified party. 
the Company waives all right to trial by jury in any proceEding or claim (whether based upon contract, tort or otherwise) arising
out of or in any way relating to this Agreement.  The Company agrees that a final judgment in any proceEding or claim arising
out of or in any way relating to this agreement brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and
may be enforced in any other courts to the jurisdiction of which the Company is or may be subject, by suit upon such judgment.
