Gridsense
Inc. – 2ndAmendment to LSASUBORDINATION
AGREEMENT

 

This
Subordination Agreement is made and entered into as of August 13, 2013, by and between the undersigned (“Creditor”),
and Square 1 Bank (“Bank”).

 

Recitals

 

A.GridSense
Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Borrower”), has requested and/or obtained certain loans or other credit accommodations
from Bank which are or may be from time to time secured by assets and property of Borrower.

 

B.Creditor
has extended loans or other credit accommodations to Borrower, and/or may extend loans or other credit accommodations to Borrower
from time to time.

 

C.In
order to induce Bank to extend credit to Borrower and, at any time or from time to time, at Bank’s option, to make such
further loans, extensions of credit, or other accommodations to or for the account of Borrower, or to purchase or extend credit
upon any instrument or writing in respect of which Borrower may be liable in any capacity, or to grant such renewals or extension
of any such loan, extension of credit, purchase, or other accommodation as Bank may deem advisable, Creditor is willing to subordinate:
(i) all of Borrower’s indebtedness and obligations to Creditor, whether presently existing or arising in the future (the
“Subordinated Debt”) to all of Borrower’s indebtedness and obligations to Bank; and (ii) all of Creditor’s
security interests, if any, in Borrower’s property, to all of Bank’s security interests in Borrower’s property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the term Subordinated Debt shall not include
any obligations of Borrower arising under or in connection with (a) any warrants issued by Borrower to Creditors pursuant to which
Creditors may purchase equity securities of Borrower or agreements exclusively governing the rights of the holders of equity securities
of Borrower; and (b) any equity securities of Borrower held by Creditors including those issuable upon exercise of any warrants
or the conversion of any convertible notes.

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

 

1.Creditor
subordinates to Bank any security interest or lien that Creditor may have in any property of Borrower. Notwithstanding the respective
dates of attachment or perfection of the security interest of Creditor and the security interest of Bank, the security interest
of Bank in the Collateral, as defined in that certain Loan and Security Agreement between Borrower and Bank, dated as of November
2, 2012 (as amended from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), shall at all times be prior to the security interest
of Creditor. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Loan Agreement.

 

2.
All Subordinated Debt is subordinated in right of payment to all obligations of Borrower to Bank now existing or hereafter arising,
together with all costs of collecting such obligations (including attorneys’ fees), including, without limitation, all interest
accruing after the commencement by or against Borrower of any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and all obligations
under the Loan Agreement (the “Senior Debt”).

 

3.
Creditor will not demand or receive from Borrower (and Borrower will not pay to Creditor) all or any part of the Subordinated
Debt, by way of payment, prepayment, setoff, lawsuit or otherwise, nor will Creditor exercise any remedy with respect to the Collateral,
nor will Creditor commence, or cause to commence, prosecute or participate in any administrative, legal or equitable action against
Borrower, for so long as any portion of the Senior Debt remains outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Creditor shall be:
(a) permitted to convert any part or all of the Subordinated Debt into equity securities of Borrower; and (b) entitled to a receive
a one (1) time payment of principal and interest pursuant to Section 2 of that certain Promissory Note, by and between Creditor
and Borrower, attached hereto as Exhibit A.

4.
Creditor shall promptly deliver to Bank in the form received (except for endorsement or assignment by Creditor where required
by Bank) for application to the Senior Debt any payment, distribution, security or proceeds received by Creditor with respect
to the Subordinated Debt other than in accordance with this Agreement.

 

5.
In the event of Borrower’s insolvency, reorganization or any case or proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or
laws relating to the relief of debtors, these provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and Bank’s claims against
Borrower and the estate of Borrower shall be paid in full before any payment is made to Creditor.

 

6.
For so long as any of the Senior Debt remains unpaid, Creditor irrevocably appoints Bank as Creditor’s attorney in fact,
and grants to Bank a power of attorney with full power of substitution, in the name of Creditor or in the name of Bank, for the
use and benefit of Bank, without notice to Creditor, to perform at Bank’s option the following acts in any bankruptcy, insolvency
or similar proceeding involving Borrower:

 

(i)
To file the appropriate claim or claims in respect of the Subordinated Debt on behalf of Creditor if Creditor does not do so prior
to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file claims in such proceeding and if Bank elects, in its sole discretion, to
file such claim or claims; and

 

(ii)
To accept or reject any plan of reorganization or arrangement on behalf of Creditor and to otherwise vote Creditor’s claims
in respect of any Subordinated Debt in any manner that Bank deems appropriate for the enforcement of its rights hereunder.

 

7.
Creditor shall immediately affix a legend to the instruments evidencing the Subordinated Debt stating that the instruments are
subject to the terms of this Agreement. No amendment of the documents evidencing or relating to the Subordinated Debt shall directly
or indirectly modify the provisions of this Agreement in any manner which might terminate or impair the subordination of the Subordinated
Debt or the subordination of the security interest or lien that Creditor may have in any property of Borrower. By way of example,
such instruments shall not be amended to (i) increase the rate of interest with respect to the Subordinated Debt, or (ii) accelerate
the payment of the principal or interest or any other portion of the Subordinated Debt.

 

8.
This Agreement shall remain effective for so long as the Bank has any obligation to make credit extensions to Borrower or Borrower
owes any amounts to Bank under the Loan Agreement or otherwise. If, at any time after payment in full of the Senior Debt any payments
of the Senior Debt must be disgorged by Bank for any reason (including, without limitation, the bankruptcy of Borrower), this
Agreement and the relative rights and priorities set forth herein shall be reinstated as to all such disgorged payments as though
such payments had not been made and Creditor shall immediately pay over to Bank all payments received with respect to the Subordinated
Debt to the extent that such payments would have been prohibited hereunder. At any time and from time to time, without notice
to Creditor, Bank may take such actions with respect to the Senior Debt as Bank, in its sole discretion, may deem appropriate,
including, without limitation, terminating advances to Borrower, increasing the principal amount, extending the time of payment,
increasing applicable interest rates, renewing, compromising or otherwise amending the terms of any documents affecting the Senior
Debt and any collateral securing the Senior Debt, and enforcing or failing to enforce any rights against Borrower or any other
person. No such action or inaction shall impair or otherwise affect Bank’s rights hereunder. Creditor waives the benefits,
if any, of Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2845, 2847, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433.

9.
This Agreement shall bind any successors or assignees of Creditor and shall benefit any successors or assigns of Bank. This Agreement
is solely for the benefit of Creditor and Bank and not for the benefit of Borrower or any other party. Creditor further agrees
that if Borrower is in the process of refinancing a portion of the Senior Debt with a new lender, and if Bank makes a request
of Creditor, Creditor shall agree to enter into a new subordination agreement with the new lender on substantially the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.

 

10.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together
shall constitute one instrument.

 

11.
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of California, without regard
to principles of conflicts of law. Jurisdiction shall lie in the State of California. All disputes, controversies, claims, actions
and similar proceedings arising with respect to this Agreement or any related agreement or transaction shall be brought in the
state and federal courts located in County of San Mateo, State of California, except as provided below with respect to arbitration
of such matters. BANK AND CREDITOR EACH ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL ONE, BUT THAT IT MAY BE
WAIVED. EACH OF THEM, AFTER CONSULTING OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT, WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR CHOICE, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY
AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT ANY OF THEM MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED INSTRUMENT OR LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF
CONDUCT, DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTION OF ANY OF THEM. THESE PROVISIONS SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE
BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY RESPECT OR RELINQUISHED BY CREDITOR OR BANK, EXCEPT BY A WRITTEN INSTRUMENT EXECUTED BY EACH OF THEM. If
the jury waiver set forth in this Section is not enforceable, then any dispute, controversy, claim, action or similar proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Loan Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated therein shall be settled
by final and binding arbitration held in San Mateo County, California in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration
Rules of the American Arbitration Association by one arbitrator appointed in accordance with those rules. The arbitrator shall
apply California law to the resolution of any dispute, without reference to rules of conflicts of law or rules of statutory arbitration.
Judgment upon any award resulting from arbitration may be entered into and enforced by any state or federal court having jurisdiction
thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for preliminary or interim
equitable relief, or to compel arbitration in accordance with this Section. The costs and expenses of the arbitration, including
without limitation, the arbitrator’s fees and expert witness fees, and reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the
parties to the arbitration may be awarded to the prevailing party, in the discretion of the arbitrator, or may be apportioned
between the parties in any manner deemed appropriate by the arbitrator. Unless and until the arbitrator decides that one party
is to pay for all (or a share) of such costs and expenses, both parties shall share equally in the payment of the arbitrator’s
fees as and when billed by the arbitrator. In the event of any legal action to enforce the rights of a party under this Agreement,
the party prevailing in such action shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, all reasonable costs
and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in such action.

12.
This Agreement represents the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations,
agreements and commitments. Creditor is not relying on any representations by Bank or Borrower in entering into this Agreement,
and Creditor has kept and will continue to keep itself fully apprised of the financial and other condition of Borrower. This Agreement
may be amended only by written instrument signed by Creditor and Bank.

 

13.
Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining
the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

 

14.
In the event of any legal action to enforce the rights of a party under this Agreement, the party prevailing in such action shall
be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, incurred in such action.
