delivered or made available through EDGAR and SEDAR to Executive prior to the execution of this Agreement true and complete copies
of all periodic reports, registration statements and proxy statements filed by it with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission

be resold without registration only in certain limited circumstances. The certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares will bear
an appropriate legend regarding these restrictions:

Exchange or otherwise in Canada or to or for the benefit of a Canadian resident until the date that is four months plus a day after
the date of conversion.

 

(e) In the absence
of an effective registration statement covering the Conversion Shares, the Conversion Shares may only be resold only in accordance
with Regulation S, or in a transaction otherwise exempt from registration. Executive will not make any direct or indirect disposition,
sale, transfer, pledge, hedge (including by way of short selling) or otherwise encumber ("Transfer") all or any
portion of the Conversion Shares unless (a) there is a registration statement declared effective by the SEC under the Securities
Act with respect to the Conversion Shares to be Transferred and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration

in one (1) or more piggy-back registrations and/or in one (1) demand registration. The Company shall provide notice to the Executive
of any registration of its securities not less than thirty (30) days prior to any filing of a registration statement. Upon the
Company’s receipt of any notice from the Executive that the Executive has requested a piggyback registration or demand registration
in accordance with its rights hereunder, the Company shall use its best efforts to (a) in respect of a piggyback registration,
including the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Deferred Compensation in the contemplated registration by the Company

the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Deferred Compensation not less than forty-five (45) days following the date

for demand registration. Upon any registration contemplated hereunder, the Company shall bear the entire expense of such registration,
and shall indemnify the Executive for any inaccuracies or omissions contained in such registration statement (other than such inaccuracies
or omissions which directly arise from the information provided by the Executive).

 

(b) With a view to
making available to Executive the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Conversion

Shares which Executive has requested the Company to register and otherwise concurrently with the securities being distributed by
such underwriters will materially and adversely affect the distribution of such securities by such underwriters (such opinion to
state the reasons therefor), then the Company will promptly furnish Executive with a copy of such opinion, and by providing such
written notice to Executive, Executive may be denied the registration of all or a specified portion of such Conversion Shares (in

Executives of similar conversion shares); provided, however, that shares to be registered by the Company for issuance

parties shall have third priority.

 

(v) The rights granted
under this Section 6 shall terminate upon delivery to Executive of an opinion of counsel to the Company reasonably satisfactory
to Executive to the effect that such rights are no longer necessary for the public sale of the Conversion Shares without restriction
as to the number of securities that may be sold at any one time or the manner of sale.

 

(e) The rights granted

"restricted securities" under U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they will be acquired by him from the Company
in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such Conversion Shares may
be resold without registration only in certain limited circumstances. The certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares will bear
an appropriate legend regarding these restrictions:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE
HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED
OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER SUCH SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR VUZIX CORPORATION
SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF ITS COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS
OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.

Without
prior written approval of TSX Venture Exchange and compliance with all applicable securities legislation, the securities represented
by this certificate may not be sold, transferred, hypothecated or otherwise traded on or through the facilities of THE TSX Venture
Exchange or otherwise in Canada or to or for the benefit of a Canadian resident until the date that is four months plus a day after
the date of conversion.

 

(e) In the absence
of an effective registration statement covering the Conversion Shares, the Conversion Shares may only be resold only in accordance
with Regulation S, or in a transaction otherwise exempt from registration. Executive will not make any direct or indirect disposition,
sale, transfer, pledge, hedge (including by way of short selling) or otherwise encumber ("Transfer") all or any
portion of the Conversion Shares unless (a) there is a registration statement declared effective by the SEC under the Securities
Act with respect to the Conversion Shares to be Transferred and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration
statement is then in effect under the Securities Act and no proceedings for that purpose have then been instituted or (b) the Transfer
is made under a valid exemption to registration under the Securities Act.

6. REGISTRATION.

 

(a) The Executive shall
have the right to require the Company to register the Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Deferred Compensation
in one (1) or more piggy-back registrations and/or in one (1) demand registration. The Company shall provide notice to the Executive
of any registration of its securities not less than thirty (30) days prior to any filing of a registration statement. Upon the
Company’s receipt of any notice from the Executive that the Executive has requested a piggyback registration or demand registration
in accordance with its rights hereunder, the Company shall use its best efforts to (a) in respect of a piggyback registration,
including the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Deferred Compensation in the contemplated registration by the Company
(subject to underwriters’ cutbacks), or (b) in respect of a demand registration, (i) file a registration statement to register
the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Deferred Compensation not less than forty-five (45) days following the date
on which the Company receives such request for a demand registration, and (ii) use its reasonable efforts to cause such registration
statement to go effective not less than one hundred twenty (120) days following the date on which the Company receives such request
for demand registration. Upon any registration contemplated hereunder, the Company shall bear the entire expense of such registration,
and shall indemnify the Executive for any inaccuracies or omissions contained in such registration statement (other than such inaccuracies
or omissions which directly arise from the information provided by the Executive).

 

(b) With a view to
making available to Executive the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Conversion
Shares to the public without registration, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make and keep public information
available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144(c)(1) or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Securities
Act, at all times after the Closing Date;

 

(c) The Company shall
take all commercially reasonably action to cause the Conversion Shares to be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market or the TSXV within
15 days of their issuance;

 

(d) If the registration
so proposed by the Company involves an underwritten offering of the securities so being registered for the account of the Company,
to be distributed by or through one or more underwriters of recognized standing, and the managing underwriter of such underwritten
offering shall advise the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the distribution of all or a specified portion of the Conversion
Shares which Executive has requested the Company to register and otherwise concurrently with the securities being distributed by
such underwriters will materially and adversely affect the distribution of such securities by such underwriters (such opinion to
state the reasons therefor), then the Company will promptly furnish Executive with a copy of such opinion, and by providing such
written notice to Executive, Executive may be denied the registration of all or a specified portion of such Conversion Shares (in
case of such a denial as to a portion of such Conversion Shares, such portion to be allocated pro rata among Executive and other
Executives of similar conversion shares); provided, however, that shares to be registered by the Company for issuance
by the Company shall have first priority, registration of Executive’s Conversion Shares hereunder shall have second priority
(pro-rata along with all Executives of similar conversion shares), and any other shares being registered on account of other third
parties shall have third priority.

 

(v) The rights granted
under this Section 6 shall terminate upon delivery to Executive of an opinion of counsel to the Company reasonably satisfactory
to Executive to the effect that such rights are no longer necessary for the public sale of the Conversion Shares without restriction
as to the number of securities that may be sold at any one time or the manner of sale.

 

(e) The rights granted
under this Section 6 shall not be transferable.
