EXCHANGE
AGREEMENT

 

THIS
EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is dated March 8, 2017, by and among InterCloud Systems, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), all of the subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, “Subsidiaries”),
and the parties identified on Schedule A hereto (each a “Holder” collectively the “Holders”).

 

WHEREAS,
the Holders beneficially own and hold certain Convertible Promissory Notes, as set forth on Exhibit A hereto (the “Original
Securities”); and

 

WHEREAS,
the Original Securities were originally issued on December 29, 2015, (“Original Issue Date”) to a financial
institution that is not an affiliate of the Company . (“Original Holder”) and were assigned to the Holders
by the Original Holder simultaneously with the entry of the parties into this Agreement.

 

WHEREAS,
the Holders desire to exchange (the “Exchange”) the Original Securities for new Convertible Promissory Notes
(the “Exchange Notes”) of the Company as set forth and memorialized on Exhibit B hereto, and the Company
desires to issue the Exchange Notes in exchange for the Original Securities, all on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”).

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Holders hereby agree as follows:

 

Section
1. Exchange. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Holders agree to surrender to
the Company the Original Securities and, in exchange therefore, the Company shall issue to the Holders the Exchange Notes.

 

1.1
Closing. On the Closing Date (as defined below), the Company will issue and deliver (or cause to be issued and delivered)
the Exchange Notes to the Holders, or in the name of a custodian or nominee of the Holders, or as otherwise requested by the Holders
in writing, and the Holders will surrender to the Company the Original Securities. The closing of the Exchange shall occur as
on the date hereof, or as soon thereafter as the parties may mutually agree in writing (the “Closing Dates”),
subject to the provisions of Section 4 and Section 5 herein.

 

1.2
Section 3(a)(9). Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each of the Company and the Holders set
forth in Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that the purpose of such representations and warranties
is, among other things, to ensure that the Exchange qualifies as an exchange of securities under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities
Act.

 

    

     

    

 

1.3
Legal Opinion. At the Closing the Company shall have a legal opinion of Company Counsel, substantially in the form of Exhibit
C attached hereto. Such opinion shall opine on the availability of an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act as it
relates to the Exchange, the tacking of the holding period of the Exchange Notes to the Original Issue Date under Rule 144 and
other matters reasonably requested by the Holders;

 

Section
2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the Holders that:

 

2.1
Organization and Qualification. The Company and each of the Subsidiaries is an entity duly incorporated or otherwise organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, with the requisite
power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted. Neither the
Company, nor any Subsidiary is in violation or default of any of the provisions of its respective certificate or certificates
of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified
to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature
of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified
or in good standing, as the case may be, could not have or reasonably be expected to result in: (i) a material adverse effect
on the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any documents executed in connection herewith (the “Transaction
Documents”), (ii) a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects or condition (financial
or otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s
ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its obligations under any Transaction Document (any of (i), (ii)
or (iii), a “Material Adverse Effect”) and no proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking,
limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification.

 

2.2
Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations
hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents by the Company
and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action
on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board
of Directors”) or the Company’s stockholders in connection herewith or therewith other than in connection with
the Required Approvals (as defined below). This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party has been
(or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof,
will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms,
except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other
laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the
availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution
provisions may be limited by applicable law.

 

    	 	2	 

     

    

 

2.3
Issuance of Exchange Notes. The issuance of the Exchange Notes is duly authorized and, upon issuance in accordance with
the terms hereof, the Exchange Notes shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The shares of Common Stock issued
upon conversion or exercise of the Exchange Notes (the “Underlying Shares”), when issued and delivered in accordance
with the terms of the Exchange Notes, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all Liens
(as defined below) imposed by the Company, other than restrictions on transfer under applicable state and federal securities laws.
The shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) issued upon exercise of the Exchange Notes,
when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Notes for the consideration expressed therein, will be
duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all Liens imposed by the Company, other than restrictions
on transfer under applicable state and federal securities laws. Upon issuance in accordance herewith, the issuance by the Company
of the Exchange Notes is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities
Act and all of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Exchange Notes and upon exercise of the Exchange Notes
will be freely transferable and freely tradable by each Holder without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act,
assuming the Holder is not an Affiliate and the holding period requirements of Rule 144 have been met. The shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion or exercise, as applicable, of the Exchange Notes shall not bear any restrictive or other legends or
notations. The Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock a number of shares of Common Stock for issuance of
the shares underlying the Exchange Notes at least equal to 100% of the Required Minimum on the date hereof. “Required
Minimum” means, as of any date, at least million (2,000,000) shares of Common Stock; provided, however, after a reverse
split by the Company to be effected on or around March 31, 2017, such amount shall be equal to fifty million (50,000,000) shares
of Common Stock.

 

2.4
No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
to which it is a party, the issuance of the Exchange Notes and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby do not and will not: (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s certificate
or certificates of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default
(or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, result in the creation of any options, contracts,
agreements, liens, security interests, or other encumbrances (“Liens”) upon any of the properties or assets
of the Company or any Subsidiary, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or
without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary
debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any property or asset
of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or (iii) subject to the Required Approvals, conflict with or result in
a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental
authority to which the Company or a Subsidiary is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by
which any property or asset of the Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and
(iii), such as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

2.5
Acknowledgment Regarding the Exchange. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Holder is acting solely in the capacity
of an arm’s length third party with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company further
acknowledges the Holders are not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect
to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and any advice given by the Holders or any of their representatives
or agents in connection with this Agreement is merely incidental to the Exchange.

 

2.6

indirectly, any commission or other remuneration for soliciting the Exchange. The Exchange Notes are being issued exclusively
for the exchange of the Original Securities and no other consideration has or will be paid for the Exchange Notes.

 

2.7
4(a)(2) Representation. The Company has not, nor has any person acting on its behalf, directly or indirectly made any offers
or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the Exchange and the
issuance of the Exchange Notes pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of
the Securities Act which would prevent the Company from delivering the Exchange Notes to the Holders pursuant to Section 4(a)(2)
of the Securities Act, nor will the Company take any action or steps that would cause the Exchange, issuance and delivery of the
Exchange Notes to be integrated with other offerings to the effect that the delivery of the Exchange Notes to the Holders would
be seen not to be exempt pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

 

2.8
No Third-party Advisors. Other than legal counsel, the Company has not engaged any third parties to assist in the solicitation
with respect to the Exchange.

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

2.9

documents required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange

prior to the expiration of any such extension.  As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material
respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed,

material respects the financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and

or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents or the Exchange Notes or (ii) could,
if there were an unfavorable decision, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither

with the Company or such Subsidiary, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to a collective bargaining
agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries believe that their relationships with their employees are good.  To
the knowledge of the Company, no executive officer of the Company or any Subsidiary, is, or is now expected to be, in violation
of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement or non-competition
agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant in favor of any third party, and the continued employment
of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of
the foregoing matters.  The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign
laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours,
except where the failure to be in compliance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

 

    	 	7	 

     

    

 

2.17
Compliance. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary: (i) is in default under
or in violation of (and no event has occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result
in a default by the Company or any Subsidiary under), nor has the Company or any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it
is in default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other agreement or instrument
to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound (whether or not such default or violation has been waived),
(ii) is in violation of any judgment, decree or order of any court, arbitrator or other governmental authority or (iii) is or
has been in violation of any statute, rule, ordinance or regulation of any governmental authority, including without limitation
all foreign, federal, state and local laws relating to taxes, environmental protection, occupational health and safety, product
quality and safety and employment and labor matters, except in each case as could not have or reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

2.18
Regulatory Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the
appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described
in the SEC Reports, except where the failure to possess such permits could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect (“Material Permits”), and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of
proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit.

 

2.19
Title to Assets.  The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property
owned by them and good and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company
and the Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for (i) Liens as do not materially affect the value of
such property and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and the
Subsidiaries, (ii) Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, for which appropriate reserves have been made therefor
in accordance with GAAP and, the payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties, (iii) Liens held by the Senior

Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with which the Company and the Subsidiaries are in

    	 	8	 

     

    

 

2.20
Intellectual Property.  Other than as set forth in the SEC Reports, the Company and the Subsidiaries have, or
have rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade names, trade secrets,
inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property rights and similar rights as described in the SEC Reports as
necessary or required for use in connection with their respective businesses and which the failure to so have could have a Material
Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”).  None of, and neither the Company
nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that any of, the Intellectual Property Rights has expired, terminated
or been abandoned, or is expected to expire or terminate or be abandoned, within two (2) years from the date of this Agreement.  Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary has received, since the date of the latest audited financial statements included within the SEC
Reports, a written notice of a claim or otherwise has any knowledge that the Intellectual Property Rights violate or infringe
upon the rights of any Person, except as could not have or reasonably be expected to not have a Material Adverse Effect.  To
the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another
Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights.  The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security
measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties, except where failure to do
so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

2.21
Insurance. The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against
such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries
are engaged, including, but not limited to, directors and officers insurance coverage at least equal to the aggregate principal
amount of the Exchange Notes.  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be

Sarbanes-Oxley; Internal Accounting Controls.  The Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance with any and
all applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that are effective as of the date hereof, and any and all applicable
rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Dates.  The
Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that:

(iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the

procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange
Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.  The
Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company
and the Subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such
date, the “Evaluation Date”).  The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under
the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures
based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date.  Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the

terminating such registration.  Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, the Company has not, in the 12 months preceding
the date hereof, received notice from the OTCBB or any other exchange or quotation service on which the Common Stock is or has
been listed or quoted (the “Trading Market”) to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing

similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Holders as a result

in order to enforce any right or remedy under any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the
Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under
applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of
interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company
may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract
rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any
official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be
the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is
precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the
Company to any Holder with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by
such Holder to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling
such excess to be at such Holder’s election.

 

7.8 Independent
Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Holder under any Transaction Document are
several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the
performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Holder under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained
herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to
constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption
that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Holder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights,
including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it
shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each
Holder has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction
Documents.

 

7.9
Issuances of Common Stock. At any time during the period commencing from the date hereof and ending at such time that all
of the Exchange Notes and Underlying Shares are no longer held by the Holders, the Company shall not issue any shares of its common
stock at a price below $[___] without the consent of the Holders of a majority of then outstanding Exchange Notes.

 

7.10
The Company shall at all times reserve not less than two million (2,000,000) of the shares necessary to convert the Exchange
Notes; provided, however, after a reverse split of its shares by the Company to be effected on or around March 31, 2017, such
reserve amount shall equal fifty million (50,000,000) shares of Common Stock of the Company.

 

    	 	21	 

     

    

 

7.11
The Company shall at all times maintain a listing for its common stock on a trading market and ensure not regulatory or
judicial stop orders are entered against trading its common stock.

 

7.12
The Company shall ensure that no monetary judgment, writ or similar final process shall be entered or filed against the
Company, any subsidiary or any of their respective property or other assets for more than $150,000, and such judgment, writ
or similar final process shall remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of 45 calendar days.

 

7.14
At the Closing Dates, the Company shall be responsible for and shall pay up to $25,000 of legal fees incurred by the Holder
with respect to the Transaction Documents.
