	6.	Order and Shipment

 

	
 
	6.1 	Orders. CLIENT will place a Purchase Order (PO) for completed products with D&K, along with a requested Product delivery schedule. CLIENT and D&K will work together to ensure that this PO is placed sufficiently in advance of the requested Product delivery schedule to enable D&K to order the necessary material to comply with the PO and Product Delivery Schedule. This PO and Product delivery schedule will be binding and document CLIENT’s financial obligation to D&K to cover the material that D&K places on order with suppliers and all Manufacturing Charges (scrap, freight, labor, manufacturing overhead, S,G&A and profit). D&K shall make CLIENT aware of this financial burden per Section 7.3 below. Each PO will include: (i) unit quantity; (ii) unit price; (iii) shipping destination; (iv) Ship Date; and (v) other instructions or requirements pertinent to the PO. All Orders received prior to the Lead Time shall be filled by D&K according to the terms of the PO. To the extent of any inconsistency between the terms of a PO and the terms of this Agreement, the terms specified in this Agreement shall control and take precedence. CLIENT may increase the quantity of Product in a batch order or accelerate order date of such batches set forth in Exhibit C so long as CLIENT pays for such orders in advance and order is placed according to material lead times. CLIENT may designate certain units to be shipped to destinations outside of the United States. In such case, D&K shall manufacture the designated units to meet the equivalent foreign requirements provided CLIENT has had said units certified to be compliant with regulatory requirements in the destination countries.
	
 
	
 
	
 

	
 
	6.2 	Order Acknowledgment. A PO shall be deemed to have been placed as of the date of confirmation of receipt of the PO by D&K.

D&K shall have five (5) additional working days in which to accept or reject the Order for orders of similar volumes and delivery schedules. D&K shall accept all PO’s that conform to the terms of this Agreement and provide sufficient Lead Time (including Order increases).
	
 
	
 
	
 

	
 
	6.3	Order cancelations or order reductions. CLIENT will place POs for a volume of Product. In the event CLIENT requests in writing a change or cancelation of a PO, D&K shall endeavor to cancel, or delay for future Orders, as much of the affected excess material as possible. For all material that cannot be cancelled or rescheduled, D&K will invoice CLIENT for full payment of the excess material (including applicable restocking charges) called out in the original PO and ship the material to a CLIENT designated location. Excess material will be invoiced at actual inventory acquisition cost, including component cost, inbound freight, outbound freight plus a material burden of 15%. D&K agrees to repurchase this excess material from CLIENT should production of CLIENT Products resume. NOTE: If actual Product demand from CLIENT necessitates frequent changes, cancellations or ‘push-outs’ of POs, any product delivery cost increases which are actually incurred by D&K as a direct result thereof will be reflected in the Product cost to CLIENT and/or additional NREs. In addition, documented line stoppages, pauses, shutdowns, or any other delays to the build schedule caused directly or indirectly by cancelations or reductions may be subject to additional NRE charges. All additional NRE charges will be submitted in writing for approval by CLIENT in advance.

	16.	Obsolescence and Manufacturing Rights

 

	
 
	16.1	Lifetime Buy Rights. If D&K intends to (or does) discontinue the supply or support of any CLIENT Product (a “Discontinued Product”), D&K shall give notice to CLIENT no less than nine (9) months in advance of the last date the Discontinued Product can be ordered. After receipt of notice of discontinuance, CLIENT may, at its option:

 

	
 
	
 
	16.1.1 	Purchase from D&K such quantity of the Discontinued Product as CLIENT deems necessary for its future requirements; and
	
 
	
 
	
 
	
 

	
 
	
 
	16.1.2 	Manufacture, with a new manufacturer, the Discontinued Product under the manufacturing rights granted in this Agreement, without payment to D&K of any royalties or other charges.

 

	
 
	16.2 	CLIENT’s Right to Manufacture. If D&K intends to (or does) discontinue the supply or support of any CLIENT Product (as defined in Section 16.1), and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and provided that all outstanding payment obligations then due by CLIENT to D&K have been met by CLIENT per the agreed upon terms set forth herein, D&K grants to CLIENT, under D&K’s Intellectual Property Rights, a perpetual, non‐exclusive, world‐wide, royalty-free license to use, modify, reproduce, import, manufacture, distribute, offer for sale and sell the Discontinued Product. CLIENT may sublicense these rights to third parties, provided any such third party complies with the terms of this license and any associated obligations of confidentiality. In the event CLIENT elects to exercise this right:

 

	
 
	
 
	16.2.1	D&K shall release to CLIENT all Technical Manufacturing Information or other materials necessary for the manufacture of the Discontinued Product. Subject to the sublicense rights granted above, CLIENT will keep all D&K owned Technical Manufacturing Information confidential in accordance with the terms of Section 24 below.

	17.2 	Limitations. D&K’s obligation to indemnify the CLIENT pursuant to Section 17.1 shall not apply to the extent that any such Losses arise from the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of any Indemnitee. For avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that D&K will perform work per Requirements and Specifications provided by CLIENT. Therefore, provided that D&K has complied with the CLIENT Requirements and Specifications in the production of the Deliverables, then, D&K shall not be liable for nor ensure the design of the Product(s); nor shall D&K be liable for the design safety or design regulatory compliance of the Product(s), including but not limited to ensuring that the Products meet applicable government or responsible agency regulations, nor shall D&K be liable to ensure that the design of the Products does not infringe on any third party intellectual property rights, as this is CLIENT’s responsibility under this Agreement. Should the Products fail to meet applicable government approvals, standards or regulations as a result of designs (versus D&K manufacturing processes), D&K may cease production until CLIENT and D&K agree to required changes and applicable qualifications are met, without being in breach of this Agreement. Based on notice from D&K or an applicable agency regarding regulatory requirements related to the Product design, CLIENT is responsible for obtaining required approvals relative to any changes required to be made to the Product design and will be responsible for all costs attributable to developing new designs to meet such requirements and all reasonable costs associated with the cessation of production until applicable qualifications are met.
	
 
	
 
	
 

	
 
	17.3	Duty to Notify. CLIENT will give D&K prompt notice of any Third Party Claim, and will give D&K the authority, information, and assistance (at D&K’s expense) to handle the defense. If D&K does not diligently pursue resolution of the claim nor provide CLIENT with reasonable assurances that it will diligently pursue resolution, then CLIENT may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, take responsibility for the defense and D&K shall reimburse and indemnify CLIENT for all costs incurred by CLIENT in pursuing such defense (including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees and costs). D&K shall not settle any Third Party Claim on a basis that would require a change in the design or manufacture of any Product, or any change in CLIENT’s manner of operation without CLIENT’s prior written consent.
	
 
	
 
	
 

	
 
	17.4 	Additional Limitation. D&K will be relieved of its obligations under this Section 17 to the extent that the claim of infringement or unauthorized use arises out of compliance with CLIENT’s Requirements or Specifications. Provided D&K meets its obligations hereunder, this section 17 states D&K’s entire liability to CLIENT for Third Party Claims against CLIENT.

	18.2	Limitations. CLIENT’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnitees pursuant to Section 18.1 shall not apply to any such Losses that arise from the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of any Indemnitee, or to the extent that D&K is obligated to indemnify CLIENT under Section 17. Provided CLIENT meets its obligations hereunder, this section 18 states CLIENT’s entire liability to D&K for Third Party Claims against D&K.
	
 
	
 
	
 

	
 
	18.3 	Duty to Notify. D&K shall give CLIENT prompt notice of a Third Party Claim, and shall give CLIENT the authority, information, and assistance (at CLIENT’s expense) to handle the defense. If CLIENT does not diligently pursue resolution of the claim nor provide D&K with reasonable assurances that it will diligently pursue resolution, then D&K may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, take responsibility for the defense and CLIENT shall reimburse and indemnify D&K for all costs incurred by D&K in pursuing such defense (including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees and costs).

 

	19.	Country of Manufacture and Duty Drawback Rights

 

	
 
	19.1 	Country of Origin Certification.

	19.3	Duty Drawback. If CLIENT Products delivered under this Agreement are imported, D&K shall when possible allow CLIENT or CLIENT’s designated third party to be the importer of record. If CLIENT is not the importer of record and D&K obtains duty drawback rights to CLIENT Products, D&K shall, upon CLIENT’s request and at CLIENT expense, provide CLIENT with documents required by the customs authorities of the country of receipt to prove importation and to transfer duty drawback rights to CLIENT.

	22.1 	D&K shall not be held responsible for failure of or delay in delivery of, nor shall CLIENT be held responsible for failure or delay in performing its obligations with respect to, CLIENT Products hereunder, to the extent such failure or delay is due to an act of God or public enemy, war, acts of terrorism, government acts or regulations, fire, flood, embargo, quarantine, epidemic, labor strike or work stoppage by workers, inability to acquire raw materials as a result of these listed causes, accident, unusually severe weather or any other cause similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing, beyond its control (each such event, a “Force Majeure Event”).

	24.	Confidential Information

Information disclosed by the disclosing party (“Discloser”) will be considered Confidential Information by the receiving party (“Recipient”). Information falling within the foregoing definition of “Confidential Information” shall be subject to the obligations set forth in Section 24.2 if such information is identified in writing as “Confidential” or “Proprietary,” if provided orally, is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure and Discloser seeks to confirm such oral disclosure via written summary sent to Recipient within thirty (30) days of such disclosure or if by virtue of the nature of the information, the Recipient should reasonably understand to be the proprietary and/or confidential information of the Discloser or a third party. The parties agree and acknowledge that all Requirements, Specifications, AVLs, Technical Manufacturing Information, Orders, Purchase Plans and the content of this Agreement constitute Confidential Information

	24.2 	Nondisclosure and Nonuse Obligation.

Furthermore, the existence of any business negotiations, discussions, consultations or agreements in progress between the parties shall not be released to any form of public media without written approval of both parties. Each of the parties agrees that it shall treat all Confidential Information of the other party with the same degree of care as it accords its own Confidential Information of a similar nature, which shall in no event be reasonable under the circumstances.
	
 
	
 
	
 

	
 
	24.3 	Exclusions from Nondisclosure and Nonuse Obligations. A Recipient shall have no duty to protect information which: (i) was in the public domain at or subsequent to the time it was communicated to Recipient by Discloser through no fault of Recipient; (ii) was rightfully in Recipient's possession free of any obligation of confidence at or subsequent to the time it was communicated to Recipient by Discloser; (iii) was developed by employees or agents of Recipient independently of and without reference to any information communicated to Recipient by Discloser; or (iv) was communicated by the Discloser to an unaffiliated third party free of any obligation of confidence. If Recipient is required to disclose Confidential Information to a government body or under court order, Recipient agrees to give the Discloser prior notice of such order so that Discloser may contest the disclosure or obtain a protective order.

	25.1 	The parties’ Agreement Coordinators agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve disputes regarding all material obligations specified in this Agreement. If such negotiations and meetings do not resolve the dispute within ten (10) days of written communication of the dispute, then each party will nominate one senior officer of the rank of vice president or higher for each D&K and CLIENT, as its representative as defined in Exhibit E. These representatives will meet within ten (10) days of their nomination to attempt to resolve such dispute. If the representatives are not able to reach mutual resolution of disputes within thirty (30) days from the date of the original communication, the parties agree to engage a third-party mediator to attempt to resolve the dispute. Such mediation shall occur within ninety (90) days from the date of the original communication. In the event the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute through mediation, the Parties will enter into binding arbitration as per Section 29.11 of this Agreement, provided however that either party may seek injunctive relief during the arbitration process.

Such insurance will apply as primary insurance and no other insurance will be called upon to contribute to a loss covered thereunder. In addition, such policies will permit D&K to waive, on its own behalf and on behalf of its insurers, any rights of subrogation against CLIENT. Such insurance policies will be written with appropriately licensed and financially responsible insurers (Best’s rated B+ or better), and will endeavor to provide for a minimum of thirty (30) days written notice to CLIENT of any cancellation or reduction in coverage. Certificates of insurance evidencing the required coverage and limits will be furnished at CLIENT’s request. Additionally, D&K shall maintain workers compensation insurance for all its employees that are required to have Worker’s Compensation insurance, and who work in or enter an CLIENT facility, and D&K agrees to indemnify CLIENT under the provisions of Section 17 against any and all claims brought by any D&K employees, agents or assigns who are not so covered.

If termination is initiated by D&K, D&K will make reasonable efforts at granting lifetime buys or building buffer inventory to enable uninterrupted Product delivery while manufacturing responsibilities are transferred to a third party. CLIENT agrees to reimburse D&K for all inventory purchased or manufactured in accordance with Section 7.3, and all charges or costs for which D&K may have reasonably incurred in the course of performance of this Agreement.

 

	28.	Rights Upon Termination

 

	
 
	28.1 	Outstanding Orders. All Orders issued prior to the expiration or termination of this Agreement shall be fulfilled in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, even if the Delivery Dates are after expiration.

EXHIBIT B – STATEMENTS OF WORK/D&K DELIVERABLES

 

The following is the Statement of Work (SOW) for the Generation Next manufacturing program which summarizes the activities to be performed and deliverables with supporting assumptions. For additional details please reference D&K proposal #20170504TMD R1.0.

 

Assumptions:

 

	
 
	1.	Generation Next (GN) has developed a frozen yogurt dispensing kiosk and is seeking a contract manufacturing partner for the production of the unit. GN has a partner who is assembling the first prototype of the new generation design of the kiosk. As of the date of this proposal, D&K has no knowledge that any verification testing of the new design has been conducted. The cost estimations in this proposal are based on partial information available from GN which has not been independently verified by D&K at the time the proposal was developed. This proposal includes D&K's estimated one time New Product Introduction (NPI) costs, transfer price model and projected prepayments from GN to support the production ramp. The parties agree that the NPI costs provided in this proposal are an estimate and the actual costs incurred will be the responsibility of GN. The parties further agree that the transfer price for the 1st 100 units will be adjusted after the pilot run build and that transfer prices for subsequent builds will be set based on current costing information from the prior build.
	
 
	
 
	
 

	
 
	2.	The transfer price estimate for the first 100 unit build in this proposal is based on the following information, derived from information provided by Generation Next, but not validated by D&K as of the time of this proposal. Final transfer pricing for the first batch of 100 units will be determined after the materials are purchased and the Pilot Run of 3 units have been completed. Quantity 100 BOM cost is $____. Assembly and test time including wrap and packaging is ___ hours.
	
 
	
 
	
 

	
 
	3.	This proposal assumes the design of the kiosk will be verified and demonstrated to be ready for release to production as required per the schedule included in the proposal. This proposal includes no resources for product design activities including trouble shooting, root cause analysis, redesign or verification. Should the design prove to be not ready for production, or for other unforeseen causes, it may be necessary for GN to provide additional PO coverage and prepayments to cover the unanticipated additional NPI work.
	
 
	
 
	
 

	
 
	4.	Pilot Run units will be delivered to GN upon satisfaction of acceptance criteria mutually agreed to during the NPI phase. Pilot Run units are provided on an as is basis and are not subject to any workmanship warranty.

	5.	GN will make cash prepayments via wire transfer to D&K to fund the NPI activities and transfer price for production units as described in this proposal. Prepayments will be adjusted as necessary to account for actual costs incurred including those resulting from design instability, schedule delays, inaccurate material cost estimates, MOQ, inaccurate labor cost estimates, etc.
	
 
	
 
	
 

	
 
	6.	Generation Next will provide D&K with one prototype unit at no cost to D&K.
	
 
	
 
	
 

	
 
	7.	Lancer will provide engineering support for design issues. One Lancer engineer will be available on site at D&K San Diego for 3 days for the pilot build.
	
 
	
 
	
 

	
 
	8.	Plastic part designs are ready for release to tooling at project inception.

	11.	All Software/Firmware is to be provided by Generation Next.
	
 
	
 
	
 

	
 
	12.	The material purchase for the Pilot Run and 1st batch of 100 Units will be done at risk (before design/supply chain verification is complete, ie Tooling) to accelerate the overall schedule. Client accepts all risks associated with this schedule. Such risks include: schedule variability due to potential product stability issues, rework due to required design changes on exposed material, scrap costs and field reliability problems that could occur due to minimal amount of product testing performed.
	
 
	
 
	
 

	
 
	13.	Transfer pricing is Ex Works D&K's San Diego facility.
	
 
	
 
	
 

	
 
	14.	The transfer price provided in this proposal does not contemplate the following:

	23.	Economic Order Quantities (EOQ) and Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ) - If materials are subject to EOQ/MOQ’s, D&K and Client shall work together to make purchasing decisions that effectively balance inventory exposure with pricing, set-up fees, and inbound freight costs. If EOQ/MOQ’s result in the material costs exceeding the quantity covered under any PO or security deposit, the Client will place an additional purchase order with or wire transfer additional funds to D&K to cover the additional material costs including inbound freight, markup, and applicable taxes. At the conclusion of the build, D&K will invoice Client PO or apply the costs against the deposit for the excess materials.
	
 
	
 
	
 

	
 
	24.	Environmental testing (shock, vibration, temperature, drop, etc ) are not contemplated in this proposal.

Stock Purchase Warrants

 

THIS
SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of April 1, 2017, by and between QS Energy,
Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Issuer”) and those individuals and entities who sign and deliver an executed copy
of this Agreement to the Issuer (each, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”), with reference
to the following:

 

RECITALS

 

A.                  
Purchasers desire to purchase from Issuer and Issuer desires to sell to Purchaser certain of Issuer’s Convertible
Notes, in the aggregate face amount up to a maximum of One Million Dollars Five Hundred Thousand ($1,500,000) in the form of Exhibit
A attached hereto (individually, a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”), and certain of Issuer’s
Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase up to a certain number of shares of the common stock (the “Common Stock”) of the
Issuer equal to 50% of the number of shares initially issuable on conversion of the Notes,
in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (individually, the “Warrants” and collectively with the Notes, the
“Securities”). The face amount of the Note each Purchaser has committed to purchase, and the amount of the purchase
price thereof to be paid to the Issuer by the Purchaser (a “Commitment”) is listed on the signature page such Purchaser
executes and delivers to the Issuer. Minimum Commitment shall be no less than $10,000.

 

B.                  
Issuer’s sale of the Securities to the Purchasers may be made in reliance upon the provisions of Section 4(a)(2) under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the ”SEC”) thereunder, or other applicable rules and regulations of the SEC or upon such other
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act as may be available with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby.

 

C.                  
At any time when any amount of principal or interest of the Notes shall be outstanding, such unpaid amounts shall be convertible,
at the election of the Purchaser, into shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock at a price of $0.05 per share (the “Conversion
Price”).

 

D.                  
The Warrants shall be issued at the same time each Note is issued to the Purchaser hereunder and shall be exercisable at
$0.05 per share (the “Exercise Price”), for such number of shares equal to 50% of the result obtained by dividing
(i)    the face amount of the
Notes issued simultaneously with the Warrant by (ii) the Conversion Price. The Warrants shall expire one (1) year from the date
of issuance thereof.

it has requested and the Purchaser has reviewed all of such materials as the Purchaser, in the Purchaser’s sole and absolute
discretion shall have deemed necessary or desirable. The Purchaser has had an opportunity ask questions of and to discuss the business,
management and financial affairs of the Issuer with the Issuer's management. Specifically but not by way of limitation, the Purchaser
acknowledges the Issuer’s publicly available filings made periodically with the SEC, which filings are available at www.sec.gov
and which filings the Purchaser acknowledges reviewing or having had the opportunity of reviewing.

 

(g)   
The Purchaser acknowledges that it has, by reason of its business and financial experience, knowledge, sophistication and
experience in financial and business matters and in making investment decisions of this type that it is capable of (i) evaluating
the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and making an informed investment decision in connection therewith; (ii)
protecting its own interest; and (iii) bearing the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time for Securities
which are not transferable or freely tradable. The undersigned hereby agrees to indemnify the Issuer thereof and to hold each of
such persons and entities, and the officers, directors and employees thereof harmless against all liability, costs or expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising by reason of or in connection with any misrepresentation or any breach of
warranties of the undersigned contained in this Agreement, or arising as a result of the sale or distribution of the Securities
or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants, by the undersigned in violation of the Securities
Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or any other applicable law, either federal
or state. This subscription and the representations and warranties contained herein shall be binding upon the heirs, legal representatives,
successors and assigns of the Purchaser.

 

(h)  
The Purchaser is familiar with the definition of an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)
of Regulation D of the Securities Act and represents and warrants to the Issuer that it is either (i) an accredited investor at
such time it was offered the Securities and will be on each date which it converts any of the Notes or exercises any of the Warrants
as so defined or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Such Purchaser
is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange act. If the Purchaser is not a resident of
the United States, the Purchaser is not a “U.S. person[s]” as that term is defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S promulgated
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

 

 

 

    	 	2	 

     

    

 

(i)   
During the term of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Purchaser will comply with the provisions of
Section 9 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, with respect to transactions involving the
Common Stock. Commencing on the date on which the Purchaser received a term sheet from the Company or any representative or agent
of the Company (written or oral) setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder until the date hereof
and during the term of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Purchaser agrees not to sell the Issuer's Common
Stock short or engage in any hedging transactions in the Issuer’s Common Stock, either directly or indirectly, through its
affiliates, principals, agents or advisors.

 

(j)   
The Purchaser is aware that the Notes and the Warrants, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes
or exercise of the Warrants are restricted securities as defined under federal securities laws and are not freely tradeable and
may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of the Notes and
the Warrants, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants, other than pursuant
to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, the Issuer may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Issuer an opinion
of counsel, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that such transfer
does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. Further, the Purchaser understands and acknowledges
that any certificates evidencing the Notes, the Warrants or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes or
exercise of the Warrants will be restricted securities and not freely tradeable and will bear the legend in substantially the following
form:

 

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED
BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR QUALIFIED FOR SALE UNDER ANY STATE
SECURITIES LAWS (COLLECTIVELY, “SECURITIES LAWS”) AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS REGISTERED
OR QUALIFIED FOR SALE UNDER ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER, IN
FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER, ANY SUCH OFFER, SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION
REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH SECURITIES LAWS.

 

(k)  
The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that following the purchase of the Notes, the Warrants and any shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants, each may only be disposed of pursuant to
either (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (ii) an exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act.

 

(l)  
The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Issuer has neither filed a registration statement with the SEC or any
state authorities nor agreed to do so, nor contemplates doing so in the future for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or the other Transaction Documents, and in the absence of such a registration statement or exemption, the undersigned may have
to hold the Notes, the Warrants and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants,
indefinitely and may be unable to liquidate any of them in case of an emergency.

 

(m)  
The Purchaser is purchasing the Notes and Warrants, and will acquire any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants, for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view towards distribution
and agrees to resell or otherwise dispose of any of the Notes or the Warrants, or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants, in accordance with the registration provisions of the Securities Act (or pursuant to
an exemption from such registration provisions).

 

(n)  
The Purchaser is not and will not be required to be registered as a "dealer" under the Exchange Act, either as
a result of its execution and performance of its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise.

 

(o)  
The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that proceeds raised in connection with this Agreement will be used by Issuer
for general working capital purposes, including without limitation, the payment of salaries and professional fees, overhead and
general administrative expenses.

 

 

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

(p)  
The Purchaser understands that it is liable for its own tax liabilities and has obtained no tax advice from the Issuer in
connection with the purchase of the Securities.

 

(q)  
The Purchaser will not pay or receive any finder’s fee or commission in respect of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(r)  
Purchaser hereby agrees and acknowledges that it has been informed of the following: (i) there are factors relating to the
subsequent transfer of any of the Securities or shares of Common Stock underlying the Notes and Warrants that could make the resale
of such Securities or shares of Common Stock underlying the Notes and Warrants difficult; and (ii) there is no guarantee that the
Purchaser will realize any gain from the purchase of the Securities. The purchase of the Securities involves a high degree of risk
and is subject to many uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties may adversely affect the Company’s business, operating
results and financial condition. In such an event, the trading price for the Common Stock could decline substantially and Purchaser
could lose all or part of its investment. Purchaser is urged to review the risks identified under the Risk Factors section of Issuer’s
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2017.

 

(s)  
Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Notes have an implied annual interest rate of 10%, inasmuch as the Notes
will be issued and paid in an amount equal to 110% of the Commitment, except that if a Note is not paid on the Maturity Date, which
is twelve (12) months from the date of issue of the Note, then the balance of the unpaid amount of the Note shall be increased
by 10% and the Issuer shall then commence paying interest thereon at the rate of 10% per annum until all sums due under the Note
are paid.

 

 3. Issuer’s Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Issuer represents and warrants to the Purchaser that:

CONVERTIBLE NOTE

  

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS
NOTE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR QUALIFIED FOR SALE UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS
(COLLECTIVELY, “SECURITIES LAWS”) AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED
FOR SALE UNDER ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER, IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE
SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER, ANY SUCH OFFER, SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
OF SUCH SECURITIES LAWS.

 

	$__________	_____________, 2017 (“Issuance Date”)

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED,
QS ENERGY, INC., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Nevada (the “Company”), promises to
pay to the order of ______________ “Investor”, as that term is defined on the Acknowledgement and Acceptance page of
this Convertible Note (“Note”) (hereafter, together with any subsequent holder hereof, called “Holder”),
at “Investor’s Address,” as that term is set forth on such page or at such other place as Holder may direct,
the amount noted above, payable in full Twelve (12) Months from the Issuance Date (the “Maturity Date”).

 

If this Note is not
paid in full on or prior to the Maturity Date the remaining balance shall be increased by 10% and the Company shall pay interest
thereon at the rate of 10% per annum until all sums due hereunder are paid in full.

 

Payments of both principal
and interest will be made in immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States of America to the Holder at the Investor’s
Address.

 

This Note is subject
to the following additional provisions:

 

1. The Company shall
be entitled to withhold from all payments of principal and/or interest of this Note any amounts required to be withheld under the
applicable provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or other applicable laws at the time of such payments.

 

2. This Note has
been issued subject to representations, warranties and covenants of the original Holder hereof as contained in that certain Securities
Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) of even date herewith, and subject to all restrictions, terms, conditions and disclosures
in the Agreement, and may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable
state and other securities laws. Prior to the due presentment for such transfer of this Note, the Company and any agent of the
Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is duly registered on the Company's Note register as the owner hereof for
the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and all other purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the
Company nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. The transferee shall be bound, as the original Holder,
by the same representations and terms described herein and under the Agreement.

 

3. The Holder
may, at such Holder’s option, at any time while any sums are outstanding and unpaid hereunder, convert the then-outstanding
principal amount of this Note or any portion thereof, and any interest and any penalties accrued and unpaid thereon (the “Conversion
Amount”), into a number shares of fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock of the Company (the “Conversion Shares”)
pursuant to the following formula: the Conversion Amount divided by $0.05 (the “Conversion Price”). The Holder may
exercise the right to convert all or any portion of the Conversion Amount by delivering to the Company (i) an executed and completed
notice of conversion in the form attached to this Note (the "Notice of Conversion") to the Company and (ii) this Note.
The business day on which a Notice of Conversion and this Note are delivered to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof
shall be deemed a "Conversion Date.” The Company will transmit the certificates representing Conversion Shares issuable
upon such conversion of this Note to the Holder via express courier within a reasonable time after the Conversion Date. No fractional
shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. The amount of any of the Conversion Amount which is less than a whole share
of Common Stock shall be paid to the Holder in cash. Any delay due to such circumstance shall not be an event of default under
this Note.

 

 

 

 

    	 	8	 

     

    

 

4. The principal amount
of this Note, and any accrued interest thereon, shall be reduced as per that principal amount indicated on the Notice of Conversion
upon the proper receipt by the Holder of such Conversion Shares due upon such Notice of Conversion.

 

5. The number
of Conversion Shares shall be adjusted as follows:

 

a. If the Company
shall at any time after the Issuance Date subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common
Stock, the number of Conversion Shares in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately increased, and
conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately reduced.

 

b. If the Company
shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of
Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each
such event the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be proportionately increased; provided,
however, that if such record date is fixed and such dividend is not fully paid, or if such distribution is not fully made on the
date fixed therefor, the number of Conversion Shares shall be recomputed to reflect that such dividend was not fully paid or that
such distribution was not fully made.

 

c. If Company at
any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of
Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of Company other than shares of
Common Stock, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that Holder shall receive upon exercise of the
conversion right of this Note, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of
securities of Company which Holder would have received had the Conversion Amount of this Note been exercised on the date of
such event and had it thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the date of conversion or
purchase, retained such securities receivable during such period.

 

d. If the Common
Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note or option to purchase is changed into the same or a different number of
shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a transaction
described elsewhere in Section 5 of this Note), then, and in any such event, each Holder shall have the right thereafter,
upon conversion of this Note or purchase pursuant to option to receive the kind and amount of stock and other securities and
property receivable upon such reorganization or other change, in an amount equal to the amount that Holder would have been
entitled to had it immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification or change converted this Note, but only to the
extent this Note is actually converted, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

 

6. No provision
of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, upon an Event of Default
(as defined below), to pay the principal of, and interest on this Note at the place, time, and rate, and in the coin or currency
herein prescribed.

 

a. Events of Default.
Each of the following occurrences is hereby defined as an “Event of Default:”

 

Nonpayment.
The Company shall fail to make any payment of principal, interest, or other amounts payable hereunder when and as due; or

 

Dissolutions,
etc. The Company or any subsidiary shall fail to comply with any provision concerning its existence or any prohibition against
dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation or sale of assets; or

 

 

 

 

    	 	9	 

     

    

 

Noncompliance
with this Agreement. The Company shall fail to comply in any material respect with any provision hereof, which failure does
not otherwise constitute an Event of Default; or

 

Insolvency.
The institution of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings for relief under any
bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against Company, which proceedings shall not have
been vacated by appropriate court order within sixty (60) days of such institution.

 

If one or
more "Events of Default" shall occur, then, or at any time thereafter, and in each and every such case, unless such Event
of Default shall have been waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default)
or cured as provided herein, at the option of the Holder, and in the Holder's sole discretion, the Holder may elect to consider
this Note (and all interest through such date) immediately due and payable. In order to so elect, the Holder must deliver written
notice of the election and the amount due to the Company via certified mail, return receipt requested, at the Company’s address
as set forth herein (or any other address provided to the Holder), and thereafter the Company shall have thirty (30) business days
upon receipt to cure the Event of Default or pay this Note, or convert the amount due on the Note pursuant to the conversion formula
set forth above.

 

7. In case any
provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable,
such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and
the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

8. This Note does not
entitle the Holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the conversion into Common
Stock thereof, except as provided by applicable law. If, however, at the time of the surrender of this Note and conversion the
Holder hereof shall be entitled to convert this Note, the Conversion Shares so issued shall be and be deemed to be issued to such
holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the Conversion Date.

 

9. The Holder shall
pay all issue and transfer taxes and other incidental expenses in respect of the issuance of certificates for Conversion Shares
upon the conversion of this Note, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder of this Note.

 

10. This Note may be
prepaid in whole or in part at any time or from time to time without premium or penalty upon 10 days’ prior written notice
from the Company to the Holder.

 

11. Upon receipt by
the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note, and in case of
loss, theft or destruction of this Note, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and
amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, and upon reimbursement
to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, the Company will make and deliver to the Holder, in lieu thereof,
a new Note in substantially identical form.

  

12.If the last
or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall be a Saturday or
a Sunday or shall be a legal holiday in the United States or the State of California, then such action may be taken or such right
may be exercised on the next succeeding business day.

 

13. (a)This Note
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts made and to be
performed wholly within such state.

 

(b)Except as
otherwise provided herein, any notice or demand which, by the provisions hereof, is required or which may be given to or served
upon the parties hereto shall be in writing and, if by e-mail or facsimile transmission, shall be deemed to have been validly served,
given or delivered when sent, and if by personal delivery, shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered upon
actual delivery and, if mailed, shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered three (3) business days after deposit
in the United States mails, as registered or certified mail, with proper postage prepaid and addressed to the party or parties
to be notified.

 

 

 

 

    	 	10	 

     

    

 

(c)The Holder acknowledges
that the Conversion Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Note will have restrictions upon its resale imposed by state and
federal securities laws, together with other restrictions, terms, conditions and disclosures as fully set forth in the Agreement.

 

(d)With regard to
any power, remedy or right provided herein or otherwise available to any party hereunder (i) no waiver or extension of time shall
be effective unless expressly contained in a writing signed by the waiving party; and (ii) no alteration, modification or impairment
shall be implied by reason of any previous waiver, extension of time, delay or omission in exercise, or other indulgence.

 

(e) This Note may
not be amended, altered or modified except by a writing signed by the Company and the Holder. 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused
this Convertible Note to be duly executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized.

upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date of this Warrant and on or
prior to 5:00 p.m. P.S.T. on the first anniversary of the date of this Warrant (the "Expiration Time"), but not thereafter,
to subscribe for and purchase, from QS ENERGY, INC., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), up to ________________ (#)
shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Shares") at a purchase price per share equal to $0.05 (the "Exercise
Price").

 

1. Exercise
of Warrant.

 

The purchase rights represented
by this Warrant are exercisable by the Holder, in whole or in part, at any time after the date of this Warrant and before the Expiration
Time by the surrender of this Warrant and the Notice of Exercise annexed hereto duly executed at the office of the Company, in
Santa Barbara, California (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder
at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company), and upon payment of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise
Price for the number of Shares thereby purchased (by cash or by check or certified bank check payable to the order of the Company
in an amount equal to the purchase price of the shares thereby purchased); whereupon the Holder shall be entitled to receive a
stock certificate representing the number of Shares so purchased. The Company agrees that if at the time of the surrender of this
Warrant and purchase of the Shares, and the Holder shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant, the Shares so purchased shall be
and be deemed to be issued to such holder as the record owner of such Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this
Warrant shall have been exercised as aforesaid.

 

Upon partial exercise
of this Warrant, the Holder shall be entitled to receive from the Company a new Warrant in substantially identical form for the
purchase of that number of Shares as to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised. Certificates for Shares purchased hereunder
shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time after the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised as aforesaid.

  

2.  No
Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a share called for upon the exercise of this Warrant, an amount
equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price shall be paid in cash to the Holder.

 

3.  Charges, Taxes
and Expenses. The Holder shall pay all issue and transfer taxes and other incidental expenses in respect of the issuance of
certificates for Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder of this
Warrant.

 

4.  No Rights as
a Stockholder. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company
prior to the exercise hereof.

 

 

 

    	 	13	 

     

    

 

5.  Loss, Theft,
Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and in case of loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, upon delivery of an indemnity
agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender
and cancellation of such Warrant, and upon reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, the Company
will make and deliver to the Holder, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant in substantially identical form and dated as of such cancellation.

 

6.  Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or
granted herein shall be a Saturday or a Sunday or shall be a legal holiday in the United States or the State of California, then
such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding business.

 

7.  Merger, Reclassification,
etc.

 

(a) Merger, etc.
If at any time the Company proposes (A) the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or series
of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger, consolidation or stock issuance) that results
in the transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of the then outstanding voting power of the Company; or (B) a sale of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company, then the Company shall give the Holder ten (10) days notice of the proposed effective date of
the transaction. If, in the case of such acquisition of the Company, and the Warrant has not been exercised by the effective date
of the transaction, this Warrant shall be exercisable into the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property
of the Company or of the entity resulting from such merger or acquisition to which such Holder would have been entitled if immediately
prior to such acquisition or merger, it had exercised this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 7(a) shall similarly apply to
successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.

  

(b) Reclassification,
etc. If the Company at any time shall, by subdivision, combination or reclassification of securities or otherwise, change any
of the securities to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any class
or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter be to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result
of such change with respect to the securities which were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to
such subdivision, combination, reclassification or other change. If the Shares are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller
number of Shares, the Exercise Price under this Warrant shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or proportionately
increased in the case of combination of shares, in both cases by the ratio which the total number of Shares to be outstanding immediately
after such event bears to the total number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to such event.

 

(c) Cash Distributions.
No adjustment on account of cash dividends or interest on the Shares or other securities purchasable hereunder will be made to
the Exercise Price under this Warrant.

 

8. Restrictions
on Transfer.

 

(a) Restrictions on
Transfer of Shares. In no event will the Holder make a disposition of this Warrant or the Shares unless and until, if requested
by the Company, it shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and its counsel to the
effect that appropriate action necessary for compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") relating
to sale of an unregistered security has been taken. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions imposed upon the transferability
of the Shares shall terminate as to any particular Share when (i) such security shall have been sold without registration in compliance
with Rule 144 under the Act, or (ii) a letter shall have been issued to the Holder at its request by the staff of the Securities
and Exchange Commission or a ruling shall have been issued to the Holder at its request by such Commission stating that no action
shall be recommended by such staff or taken by such Commission, as the case may be, if such security is transferred without registration
under the Act in accordance with the conditions set forth in such letter or ruling and such letter or ruling specifies that no
subsequent restrictions on transfer are required, or (iii) such security shall have been registered under the Act and sold by the
Holder thereof in accordance with such registration.

 

(b) Subject to the provisions
of Section 8(a) hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of the Warrant
with a properly executed assignment at the principal office of the Company.

 

 

 

 

    	 	14	 

     

    

 

(c) Restrictive Legends.
The stock certificates representing the Shares and any securities of the Company issued with respect thereto shall be imprinted
with legends restricting transfer except in compliance with the terms hereof and with applicable federal and state securities laws
substantially as follows:

 

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED
BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE
DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY
TO THE ISSUER OF THIS CERTIFICATE THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT”.

 

9. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) Governing Law.
This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts
made and to be performed wholly within such state.

 

(b) Restrictions.
The Holder acknowledges that the Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant will have restrictions upon its resale imposed
by state and federal securities laws.

 

(c) Waivers Strictly
Construed. With regard to any power, remedy or right provided herein or otherwise available to any party hereunder (i) no waiver
or extension of time shall be effective unless expressly contained in a writing signed by the waiving party; and (ii) no alteration,
modification or impairment shall be implied by reason of any previous waiver, extension of time, delay or omission in exercise,
or other indulgence.

 

(d) Modifications.
This Warrant may not be amended, altered or modified except by a writing signed by the Company and the Holder of this Warrant.
