W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower has (i) provided to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in accordance with Section 9.14 of the Credit Agreement reserve reports as of December 31, 2014, together with supplemental reserve information, with respect to the Borrower’s Oil and Gas Properties (the “Assets Reserve Report”) and requested that the Borrowing Base under the Credit Agreement be reaffirmed at $2,750,000,000 and (ii) requested that the Scheduled Redetermination of the Borrowing Base for the fall 2015 be completed on or about November 30, 2015 (rather than October 31, 2015, as provided in the Credit Agreement).

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the maturity date under the Credit Agreement be extended from May 24, 2017 to May 24, 2019, subject to an earlier maturity date in the event that, (i) more than $25.0 million of Senior Secured Term Loans are outstanding on the date that is 180 days prior to the maturity date of such Senior Secured Term Loans or (ii) more than $25.0 million of Senior Secured Notes are outstanding on the date that is 180 days prior to the maturity date of such Senior Secured Notes.

 

WHEREAS, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party hereto have (i) determined based on the Assets Reserve Report that the Borrowing Base under the Credit Agreement should be reaffirmed at the amounts described above, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 hereof, and (ii) approved the extension of the maturity date, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 hereof.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I

 

Section 1.1.                                 Defined Terms. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement unless otherwise defined herein or the context otherwise requires.

 

ARTICLE II

 

Section 2.1.                                 Redetermination of Borrowing Base.  Effective upon the Agreement Effective Date, and until further adjusted, if at all, pursuant to the next redetermination of the Borrowing

 

 

Base in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.14 of the Credit Agreement or otherwise, the amount of the Borrowing Base under the Credit Agreement is hereby reaffirmed at $2,750,000,000.

 

Section 2.2.                                 Stipulation Regarding Redetermination.  The Borrower, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, agree that the redetermination and adjustment of the Borrowing Base pursuant to this Article II shall constitute the regularly scheduled semi-annual April 2015 redetermination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 2.14 of the Credit Agreement.

 

Section 2.3.                                 Scheduled Redetermination of Borrowing Base for Fall 2015.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreement (including Section 2.14(b) or Section 9.14 of the Credit Agreement), the parties hereto agree that the Scheduled Redetermination of the Borrowing Base for the Fall 2015 shall be delayed by one month and implemented as follows:  (a) the Reserve Report as of June 30, 2015, and the related Reserve Report Certificate and Engineering Report (each of which the Borrower would otherwise be required to deliver to the Administrative Agent on or before September 30, 2015) shall be delivered the Administrative Agent on or before October 31, 2015; (b) the Administrative Agent shall deliver the Proposed Borrowing Base Notice with respect to the Scheduled Redetermination for the fall 2015 (which would otherwise be delivered to the Lenders on or before October 15, 2015) to the Lenders on or before November 15, 2015; and (c) the redetermined Borrowing Base (which would otherwise be effective on or about October 31, 2015) shall become effective on or about November 30, 2015.  Except for the one month delay in the Scheduled Redetermination of the Borrowing Base for the fall 2015, each of the provisions of the Credit Agreement with respect to any Scheduled Redetermination of the Borrowing Base shall otherwise apply in the same manner as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement.

 

ARTICLE III

 

Section 3.1.                                 Amendments.  If the conditions to effectiveness of this Article III are satisfied in accordance with Section 4.2 below, then the Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:

 

(a)                                 Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended by inserting the following definitions in appropriate alphabetical order:

 

“Secured Notes Early Maturity Test Date” shall mean the date that is 180 days prior to the final maturity of the Senior Secured Notes as in effect on the Amendment Effective Date.

 

“Term Loan Early Maturity Test Date” shall mean the date that is 180 days prior to the final maturity of the Senior Secured Term Loans as in effect on the Amendment Effective Date.

 

(b)                                 Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended by deleting the definition of “Initial Maturity Date” contained therein and replacing it with the following:

 

“Initial Maturity Date” shall mean the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date, or, if such anniversary is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following such anniversary; provided that if, (i) on the Term Loan Early Maturity Test Date, the aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Term Loans that mature 180 days after the Term Loan Early Maturity Test Date exceeds $25.0 million, the Initial Maturity Date shall be the Term Loan Early Maturity Test Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following such date) and (ii) on the Secured Notes Early

 

2

 

Maturity Test Date, the aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes that mature 180 days after the Secured Notes Early Maturity Test Date exceeds $25.0 million, the Initial Maturity Date shall be the Secured Notes Early Maturity Test Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following such date).

 

ARTICLE IV

(a)                                 The Administrative Agent shall have received this Agreement, executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of each of the Borrower and Holdings and Lenders comprising at least the Required Lenders; and

 

(b)                                 Each of the Borrower and Holdings shall have confirmed and acknowledged to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders, and by its execution and delivery of this Agreement each of the Borrower and Holdings does hereby confirm and acknowledge to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders, that (i) it shall have taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, (ii) the Credit Agreement and each other Credit Document to which it or any of its applicable Subsidiaries that are Credit Parties is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or law) and (iii) no Default or Event of Default exists under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents.

 

The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the Agreement Effective Date, and such notice shall be conclusive and binding.

Each Credit Party hereby (a) ratifies and confirms all of the Obligations under the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby) and the other Credit Documents related thereto, and, in particular, affirms that, after giving effect to this Agreement, the terms of the Security Documents secure, and will continue to secure, all Obligations thereunder, and (b) represents and warrants to the Lenders that as of the effectiveness of this Agreement (i) all of the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Document to which it is a party are true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of such date (except where such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case, such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date) and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

FORM OF EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

 

This EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
(the "Agreement"), dated as of April [  ], 2015, is made by and among Ener-Core, Inc., a Nevada corporation,
with headquarters located at 9400 Toledo Way, Irvine, California 92618 (the "Company"), and the investor
listed on the signature page attached hereto (the "Holder"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined below).

 

A.            Pursuant to that certain
Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of April 15, 2014 by and among the Company, the Holder and certain other investors party
thereto ("Securities Purchase Agreement"), the Company sold to the Holders (i) senior secured convertible
notes of the Company (the “Notes”) in substantially the form attached to the Securities Purchase Agreement as
Exhibit A, which Notes were all cancelled following their conversion and redemption pursuant to that certain Conversion
and Redemption Agreement dated August 14, 2014 that was entered into by and among the Company, the Holder and the Other Holders
(as defined below) and (ii) Warrants, in substantially the form attached to the Securities Purchase Agreement as Exhibit B
(the "Warrants"), representing the right to acquire shares of the Company’s Common Stock (as defined below)
(this financing transaction, hereinafter referred as the “April 2014 Financing”).

 

B.            The Company and the
Holder desire to exchange all of the Warrants held by the Holders for shares of Common Stock (the "Exchange Shares")
pursuant to the terms hereof in a transaction undertaken in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9)
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act").

 

C.            In connection with
the above-described warrant exchange, the Company and the Holder also desire to terminate and cancel in full the Securities Purchase
Agreement and the related Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), Pledge and Security
Agreement and each of the other agreements entered into in connection with the April 2014 Financing (collectively the “Transaction
Documents”), all dated as of April 15, 2014 by and among the Company, the Holder and certain other investors party thereto
(each of such other investors or such investors' transferees holding any Warrants, the "Other Holders") pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement.

 

D.            The Company is negotiating,
and intends to implement, the exchange of other Warrants issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement that are currently
outstanding by entering into agreements (the "Other Agreements") in the same form as this Agreement.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

NOW THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing mutual premises and the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt, and legal adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound,
hereby agree as follows:

 

		1.	INCORPORATION OF PREMISES; CAPITALIZED TERMS.

 

(a)   The Company and the
Holder agree that the premises of this Agreement set forth above are incorporated into and form an integral part of this Agreement.

 

(b)   Capitalized terms
used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

		2.	ISSUANCE OF EXCHANGE SHARES.

 

Subject to the satisfaction
(or waiver) of the conditions set forth in Section 5 and 6 below, the Company and the Holder hereby agree that, all the Warrants
held by the Holder shall be exchanged into the number of Exchange Shares, as set forth on the Holder's signature page attached
hereto,1 (the "Exchange"). After such
Exchange, including, without limitation, the delivery of the Exchange Shares pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(a) below:
(i) all of the Company's and the Holder's obligations and covenants under the Securities Purchase Agreement (other than as contemplated
in Section 4(a)(iv) below) and the Transaction Documents will automatically be terminated and cancelled in full without any further
action required and (ii) this Section 2 shall constitute an instrument of termination and cancellation in full of such
Holder’s Warrants, the Securities Purchase Agreement, and the Transaction Documents.

 

		3.	EXCHANGE; CLOSING.

 

(a)   Procedure.
At the Closing (as defined in Section 3(b) hereof), the Company shall credit to the balance account of the Holder with The Depository
Trust Company through its Deposit / Withdrawal at Custodian system (with such DWAC Instructions as specified on the Holder's signature
page attached hereto or as otherwise specified in writing by the Holder to the Company prior to the Closing), the number of Exchange
Shares as set forth on the Holder's signature page attached hereto, and effective upon receipt of such Exchange Shares, the Warrants
held by the Holder will be deemed cancelled and all rights of the Holder thereunder will terminate. No later than three (3) Business
Days following the Closing Date (as defined in Section 3(b)), the Holder shall return the original Warrant to the Company.

 

(b)   Closing.
The date and time of the closing (the "Closing") of the transactions specified in Sections 2 and 3(a) above (the
"Closing Date") shall be 10:00 a.m., New York City Time, on the date hereof (or such other date and time as is
mutually agreed to by the Company and the Holder), subject to the notification of satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions to
Closing set forth in Sections 5 and 6 hereof. The Closing shall occur at the offices of Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP, 919 Third

    	2

    	 

    

 

(c)   Buy-In. If the
Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the Holder on the Closing Date the Exchange Shares by electronic
delivery at the applicable balance account at DTC, and if on or after the Closing Date the Holder effects a Buy-In (as defined
in the Warrants), then the Company shall, within three (3) Trading Days after the Holder's request and in the Holder's discretion,
either (i) pay the Buy-In Price (as defined in the Warrants) in cash, at which point the Company's obligation to deliver such
Exchange Shares shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to electronically deliver to the Holder such unlegended
Exchange Shares as provided above and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over
the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) any trading price of the Common Stock selected by the Holder
in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date the Company satisfies
its obligations in full pursuant to this Section 3(c).

 

		4.	REPRESENTATIONS, AGREEMENTS, WARRANTIES AND
COVENANTS.

 

(a)   Holder Representations,
Warranties and Covenants. The Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:

 

(i)   Authorization;
Enforcement; Validity. The Holder has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and perform its obligations
hereunder; and this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by the Holder. This Agreement
has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Holder and shall constitute the legal, valid and
binding obligations of the Holder enforceable against the Holder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may
be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and
other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors' rights and remedies.

 

(ii)   No Conflicts.
The execution, delivery and performance by the Holder of this Agreement and the consummation by the Holder of the transactions
contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of the Holder or (ii) conflict with, or
constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any
rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Holder is
a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities
laws) applicable to the Holder, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations
which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the
Holder to perform its obligations hereunder.

 

(iii)   Title to Warrant.
The Holder is the beneficial owner and sole legal owner of, and has good and valid title to, the Warrant, free and clear of any
mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest, encumbrance, title retention agreement, option, equity or other adverse claim
thereto other than encumbrances by one or more brokers of the Holder, which shall terminate upon the Closing, and encumbrances
under federal or state securities laws ("Claims"). The Holder has not, in whole or in part, (i) assigned, transferred,
hypothecated, pledged or otherwise disposed of the Warrant or its rights in the Warrant, or (ii) given any person or entity
any transfer order, power of attorney or other authority of any nature whatsoever with respect to the Warrant. Good and valid title
to the Warrant, free and clear of any Claims, will pass to the Company upon consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby.

 

    	3

    	 

    

 

(iv)   Legending of
Exchange Shares. If at any time after the Closing, the Company fails to satisfy its current 1934 Act reporting obligations
set forth in Section 144(i)(2), and the Exchange Shares may not be resold pursuant to either Rule 144 or an effective registration
statement, upon the written request of the Company, the Holder covenants and agrees to promptly return the Exchange Shares to the
Company’s transfer agent to have a restrictive legend substantially identical to the legend set forth in Section 2(g) of
the Securities Purchase Agreement to be affixed to the stock certificate that shall be issued to such Holder to evidence such returned
Exchange Shares.

 

(b)   Company Representations,
Warranties and Covenants. The Company hereby represents, warrants, agrees and covenants, as applicable, to and with the Holder
that:

 

(i)   Solvency. Neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy law nor does the Company
have knowledge that its creditors or its Subsidiaries' creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or knowledge
of any fact which would reasonably lead a creditor to do so. The Company and its Subsidiaries, individually and on a consolidated
basis, are not as of the date hereof, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby will not be, Insolvent.

 

(ii)   Organization
and Qualification. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries are entities duly organized and validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they are formed, and have the requisite power and authorization to own
their properties and to carry on their business as now being conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. Each of the Company
and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction
in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to
the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. As used in this Agreement, "Material Adverse Effect" means any material adverse effect on the business,
properties, assets, liabilities, operations, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company
and its Subsidiaries, individually or taken as a whole, or on the transactions contemplated hereby or by the agreements and instruments
to be entered into in connection herewith, or on the authority or ability of the Company to perform any of its obligations hereunder.

 

(iii)   Authorization;
Enforcement; Validity. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations
under this Agreement and to issue the Exchange Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. The execution and delivery of this Agreement
by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the
issuance of the Exchange Shares, have been duly authorized by the Company's Board of Directors and no further filing, consent or
authorization is required by the Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders. This Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by the Company, and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company
in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement
of applicable creditors' rights and remedies.

 

    	4

    	 

    

 

(iv)   Issuance of
Securities. The issuance of the Exchange Shares is duly authorized and, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof,
the Exchange Shares shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all preemptive or similar rights, taxes,
liens and charges and other encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and the Exchange Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable
with the holder thereof being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock. The offer and issuance by the Company
of the Exchange Shares in conformity with this Agreement constitute transactions exempt from registration under the 1933 Act pursuant
to Section 3(a)(9) of the 1933 Act. The Exchange Shares will not bear any restrictive legend and will be freely tradable without
any restrictions or limitations under applicable securities laws, rules and regulations. For the purposes of Rule 144, the Company
acknowledges that the holding period of the Exchange Shares may be tacked onto the holding period of the Warrants and the Company
agrees not to take a position contrary to this Section 3(b)(iv).

 

(v)   No Conflicts.
The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Exchange Shares) will not (i) result in a violation of
the Company's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or other organizational documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
any capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the articles of association or bylaws of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become
a default) in any respect under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement,
indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law,
rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including foreign, federal and state securities laws and regulations and the rules
and regulations of Principal Market and including all applicable foreign, federal laws, rules and regulations) applicable to the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected.

 

(vi)   Consents. The
Company is not required to obtain any consent from, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with any court,
governmental agency or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency or any other Person in order for it to execute, deliver or perform
any of its obligations under or contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof. All consents, authorizations,
orders, filings and registrations which the Company is required to obtain pursuant to the preceding sentence have been obtained
or effected on or prior to the Closing Date, and the Company is unaware of any facts or circumstances which might prevent the
Company from obtaining or effecting any of the registration, application or filings contemplated by this Agreement. The Company
is not in violation of the requirements of the Principal Market and has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which could
reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The issuance by the Company of the Exchange
Shares shall not have the effect of delisting or suspending the Common Stock from the Principal Market.

 

    	5

    	 

    

 

(vii)  Absence of
Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by the Principal Market, any court, public
board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against
or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Common Stock or any of the Company's Subsidiaries or any of the Company's
or its Subsidiaries' officers or directors, whether of a civil or criminal nature or otherwise, in their capacities as such.

 

(viii)  Other Agreements.
The Company will not provide any Other Holders with a more favorable exchange ratio than is provided to the Holder hereunder or
offer any consideration to any Other Holder without offering the same consideration to the Holder.

 

(ix)   SEC Filings.
As of their respective filing dates, the Company's filings with the SEC under the 1934 Act since April 15, 2014 (the "SEC
Documents"), complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of
the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with
the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
 The Company represents that, as of the date hereof, no material event or circumstance has occurred which would be required
to be publicly disclosed or announced on a Current Report on Form 8-K, either as of the date hereof or solely with the passage
of time by the Company but which has not been so publicly announced or disclosed. The Company has filed a Registration Statement
on Form 8-A that is currently effective. Accordingly, the Company is currently subject to the reporting requirements of Section
13 of the 1934 Act as required under Rule 144(c) and Rule 144(i). As of the date hereof, the Company (i) has satisfied the current
public information requirements set forth in Rule 144(c)(i) and (ii) in accordance with provisions of Rule 144(i), the Company
(x) is no longer an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i), (y) has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by
section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the Company
was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports, and (z) filed current “Form 10 information”
with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is no longer an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) at least one year prior
to the date hereof.

 

(x)   Disclosure of Transactions
and Other Material Information. The Company shall file a current report on Form 8-K (the "8-K Filing") on
or before 8:30 a.m., New York City time, on the first Business Day after the Closing Date, in the form required by the 1934 Act,
relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Other Agreements and attaching a form of this Agreement and
the form of lock-up agreement to be executed with the Company contemporaneously with this Agreement (including, without limitation,
all schedules and exhibits to such agreement, if any) as an exhibit to such filing. From and after the filing of the 8-K Filing
with the SEC, the Holder shall not be in possession of any material, nonpublic information received from the Company, any of its
Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, Affiliates (as defined in the Warrants), employees or agents, that
is not disclosed in the 8-K Filing. In addition, effective upon the filing of the 8-K Filing, the Company acknowledges and agrees
that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any
of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, Affiliates, employees or agents, on the one hand, and the
Holder or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, shall terminate. The Company shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries
and its and each of their respective officers, directors, Affiliates, employees and agents, not to, provide the Holder with any
material, nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the date hereof without the express
prior written consent of the Holder. To the extent that the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers,

the Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Holder's shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its

such listing of all Listed Securities. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations
under this Section 3(b)(xi).

to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the 1934 Act, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file
reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would no longer require or otherwise permit
such termination.

 

(xiii)  No Integration
Actions. None of the Company, any of its Affiliates or any Person acting on behalf of the Company or such Affiliate will sell,
offer for sale or solicit offers to buy in respect of any security (as defined in the 1933 Act) that would be integrated with the

or require shareholder approval under the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, and the Company will take all action that
is appropriate or necessary to assure that its offerings of other securities will not be integrated for purposes of the 1933 Act
or the rules and regulations of the Principal Market with the issuance of Exchange Shares contemplated hereby.

(xv)   Legend Removal.
If any legend is affixed to the Exchange Shares pursuant to Section 4(a)(iv) above, the Company hereby covenants and agrees to

this Agreement.

 

(xvi)  Public Information.
At any time during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is the earlier of: (A) two years after
the Closing Date or (B) at such time that all of the Exchanges Shares may be sold without restriction or limitation pursuant to
Rule 144 and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1), if a registration statement is not otherwise available
for the resale of all of the Exchange Shares and if the Company shall (i) fail for any reason to satisfy the requirements of Rule
144(c)(1), including, without limitation, the failure to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c)
or (ii) if the Company has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes such an issuer in the future, and the
Company shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (a "Public Information Failure") then,
as partial relief for the damages to any holder of Exchange Shares by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability
to sell the Exchange Shares (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity), the Company
shall pay to each such holder an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined below)
of the Exchange Shares on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth day (pro rated for periods totaling less
than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (i) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (ii) such time that
such public information is no longer required pursuant to Rule 144. The payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant
to this Section 4(b)(xvi) are referred to herein as "Public Information Failure Payments." Public Information
Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (I) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure
Payments are incurred and (II) the third Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure

Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full.
The “Fair Market Value” of each Exchange Share will be determined based on the highest closing sale price of
the Common Stock during the period beginning on the date of each applicable Public Information Failure and ending on the date
the applicable Public Information Failure Payment relating to such Public Information Failure is satisfied in full.

security as reported in the OTC Link or "pink sheets" by OTC Markets Group Inc. (formerly Pink OTC Markets Inc.).  If
the Closing Sale Price cannot be calculated for a security on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, then the Closing
Sale Price, as the case may be, of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company
and the Holder.  All such determinations to be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination,

    	9

    	 

    

 

(1)  At
least three (3) Business Days prior to any proposed or intended Subsequent Placement, the Company shall deliver to Holder and
the Other Holders (collectively, the “April 2014 Warrant Holders” and individually, each a “April
2014 Warrant Holder”)) an irrevocable written notice (the "Offer Notice") of any proposed or intended
issuance or sale or exchange (the "Offer") of the securities being offered (the "Offered Securities")
in a Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall (w) identify and describe the Offered Securities, (x) describe the price
and other terms upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered Securities to be
issued, sold or exchanged, (y) identify the persons or entities (if known) to which or with which the Offered Securities
are to be offered, issued, sold or exchanged and (z) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with such April 2014 Warrant Holders
at least fifty percent (50%) of the Offered Securities, allocated among such April 2014 Warrant Holders (a) based on each April
2014 Warrant Holder's pro rata portion of the aggregate principal amount of Notes purchased under the Securities Purchase Agreement
(the "Basic Amount"), and (b) with respect to each April 2014 Warrant Holder that elects to purchase its Basic
Amount, any additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts of other April 2014 Warrant Holders
as such April 2014 Warrant Holder shall indicate it will purchase or acquire should the other April 2014 Warrant Holders subscribe
for less than their Basic Amounts (the "Undersubscription Amount"), which process shall be repeated until the
April 2014 Warrant Holders shall have an opportunity to subscribe for any remaining Undersubscription Amount.

 

(2)  To accept
an Offer, in whole or in part, each April 2014 Warrant Holder must deliver a written notice to the Company prior to the end of
the third (3rd) Business Day after such April 2014 Warrant Holder's receipt of the Offer Notice (the "Offer
Period"), setting forth the portion of such April 2014 Warrant Holder's Basic Amount that such April 2014 Warrant Holder
elects to purchase and, if such April 2014 Warrant Holder shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription
Amount, if any, that such April 2014 Warrant Holder elects to purchase (in either case, the "Notice of Acceptance").  If
the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all April 2014 Warrant Holders are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each
April 2014 Warrant Holder who has set forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase,
in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however,
that if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the total of all the Basic Amounts and the
Basic Amounts subscribed for (the "Available Undersubscription Amount"), each April 2014 Warrant Holder who has
subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription
Amount as the Basic Amount of such April 2014 Warrant Holder bears to the total Basic Amounts of all April 2014 Warrant Holders
that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts, subject to rounding by the Company to the extent its deems reasonably necessary.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company desires to modify or amend the terms and conditions of the Offer prior
to the expiration of the Offer Period, the Company may deliver to the April 2014 Warrant Holders a new Offer Notice and the Offer
Period shall expire on the second (2nd) Business Day after such April 2014 Warrant Holder's receipt of such new Offer Notice.

 

    	10

    	 

    

 

(3)   The
Company shall have three (3) Business Days from the expiration of the Offer Period above to offer, issue, sell or exchange all
or any part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the April 2014 Warrant Holders
(the "Refused Securities") pursuant to a definitive agreement (the "Subsequent Placement Agreement")
but only to the offerees described in the Offer Notice (if so described therein) and only upon terms and conditions (including,
without limitation, unit prices and interest rates) that are not more favorable to the acquiring Person or Persons or less favorable
to the Company than those set forth in the Offer Notice and (ii) to publicly announce (a) the execution of such Subsequent Placement
Agreement, and (b) either (x) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Subsequent Placement Agreement or (y)
the termination of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, which shall be filed with the SEC on a Current Report on Form 8-K with
such Subsequent Placement Agreement and any documents contemplated therein filed as exhibits thereto.

 

(4)   In the
event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms
specified in Section 4(b)(xvii)(B)(3) above), then each April 2014 Warrant Holder may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion,
reduce the number or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less
than the number or amount of the Offered Securities that such April 2014 Warrant Holder elected to purchase pursuant to Section
4(b)(xvii)(B)(2) above multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities
the Company actually proposes to issue, sell or exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to the April 2014
Warrant Holders pursuant to Section 4(b)(xvii)(B)(3) above prior to such reduction) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be
the original amount of the Offered Securities.  In the event that any April 2014 Warrant Holder so elects to reduce
the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not issue, sell or exchange
more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered to the
April 2014 Warrant Holders in accordance with Section 4(b)(xvii)(B)(1) above.

 

(5)   Upon
the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, the April 2014 Warrant Holders
shall acquire from the Company, and the Company shall issue to the April 2014 Warrant Holders, the number or amount of Offered
Securities specified in the Notices of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 4(b)(xvii)(B)(4) above if the April 2014 Warrant
Holders have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer.  The purchase by the April 2014 Warrant
Holders of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and the April
2014 Warrant Holders of a purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance
to the April 2014 Warrant Holders and their respective counsel.

 

    	11

    	 

    

 

(6)   Any
Offered Securities not acquired by the April 2014 Warrant Holders or other persons in accordance with Section 4(b)(xvii)(B)(3)
above may not be issued, sold or exchanged until they are again offered to the April 2014 Warrant Holders under the procedures
specified in this Section 4(b)(xvii)(B).

 

(7)   The
Company and the April 2014 Warrant Holders agree that if any April 2014 Warrant Holder elects to participate in the Offer, (x)
neither the Subsequent Placement Agreement with respect to such Offer nor any other transaction documents related thereto (collectively,
the "Subsequent Placement Documents") shall include any term or provisions whereby any April 2014 Warrant Holder
shall be required to agree to any restrictions in trading as to any securities of the Company owned by such April 2014 Warrant
Holder prior to such Subsequent Placement, and (y) any registration rights set forth in such Subsequent Placement Documents shall
be similar in all material respects to the registration rights contained in the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

(8)  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 4(b)(xvii)(B) and unless otherwise agreed to by the April 2014 Warrant Holders, the Company
shall either confirm in writing to the April 2014 Warrant Holders that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement
has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the Offered Securities, in either case in such a manner such
that the April 2014 Warrant Holders will not be in possession of material non-public information, by the fifteenth (15th) Business
Day following delivery of the Offer Notice.  If by the fifteenth (15th) Business Day following delivery of the Offer
Notice no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Offered Securities has been made, and no notice regarding
the abandonment of such transaction has been received by the April 2014 Warrant Holders, such transaction shall be deemed to have
been abandoned and the April 2014 Warrant Holders shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information
with respect to the Company.  Should the Company decide to pursue such transaction with respect to the Offered Securities,
the Company shall provide each April 2014 Warrant Holders with another Offer Notice and each April 2014 Warrant Holders will again
have the right of participation set forth in this Section 4(b)(xvii)(B).  The Company shall not be permitted to deliver
more than one such Offer Notice to the April 2014 Warrant Holders in any 60 day period.

 

(9)  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the restrictions contained in this Section 4(b)(xvii)(B) shall not apply in connection
with the issuance of any Excluded Securities. “Excluded Securities” means any Common Stock issued or issuable:
(i) in connection with any Approved Stock Plan, (ii) upon exercise of any Options or Convertible Securities which are outstanding
on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date; provided, that the terms of such Options or Convertible Securities are
not amended, modified or changed on or after the Closing Date, (iii) to commercial lenders, lessors, vendors or other third parties
in connection with bona fide commercial credit arrangements, equipment financings, commercial property lease transactions or similar
transactions for primarily other than equity financing purposes, and (iv) to strategic alliance partners, strategic partners or
in connection with acquisitions or mergers, provided, that (x) the primary purpose of such issuance is not to raise capital, (y)
the purchaser or acquirer of the securities in such issuance solely consists of either (A) the actual participants in such strategic
or commercial alliance or strategic or commercial partnership, (B) the actual owners of such assets or securities acquired in
such acquisition or merger or (C) the stockholders, partners or members of the foregoing Persons and (z) the number or amount
of securities issued to such Persons by the Company shall not be disproportionate to each such Person’s actual participation
or ownership, as applicable, in such strategic or commercial alliance or strategic or commercial partnership or ownership of such
assets or securities or entity to be acquired by the Company, as applicable.

 

    	12

    	 

    

 

(10) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that a Subsequent Placement is a registered underwritten public offering
of the Company’s Common Stock and the offering price per share for the Common Stock in such offering is more than eighty
five percent (85%) of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date of pricing of such offering, then the amount of the
Offered Securities that the Company shall be required to issue and sell to or exchange with the April 2014 Warrant Holders, as
set forth in Section 4(b)(xvii)(B)(1)(z) herein, shall be reduced from at least fifty percent (50%) of the Offered Securities
to at least twenty percent (20%) of the Offered Securities.

 

(xviii)Most Favored
Nation. The Company hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and covenants and agrees from and after the date
hereof until April 16, 2016, that none of the terms offered to any Person with respect to any consent, release, amendment, settlement
or waiver relating to the terms, conditions and transactions contemplated hereby (each a “Settlement Document”),
is or will be more favorable to such Person than those of the Holder and this Agreement. If, and whenever on or after the date
hereof until April 16, 2016, the Company enters into a Settlement Document, then (i) the Company shall provide notice thereof
to the Holder immediately following the occurrence thereof and (ii) the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be, without
any further action by the Holder or the Company, automatically amended and modified in an economically and legally equivalent
manner such that the Holder shall receive the benefit of the more favorable terms and/or conditions (as the case may be) set forth
in such Settlement Document, provided that upon written notice to the Company at any time the Holder may elect not to accept the
benefit of any such amended or modified term or condition, in which event the term or condition contained in this Agreement shall
apply to the Holder as it was in effect immediately prior to such amendment or modification as if such amendment or modification
never occurred with respect to the Holder. The provisions of this Section 4(b)(xviii) shall apply similarly and equally to each
Settlement Document.

		7.	TERMINATION.

 

In the event that the Closing

		8.	MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a)   Governing Law;
Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement
shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law
provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of
any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or
in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees
not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court,
that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is
improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit,
action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees
that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be
deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY
RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH
OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

(b)   Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement
and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile
signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if
the signature were an original, not a facsimile signature.

 

(c)   Headings.
The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this
Agreement.

 

    	15

    	 

    

 

(d)   Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the
broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect
the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without
material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or
unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations
of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will
endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s),
the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

 

(e)   Entire Agreement;
Amendments. This Agreement shall supersede all other prior oral or written agreements among the Holder, the Company, their
Affiliates and persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein and therein, and this Agreement, and

therein. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Holder,
and any amendment to this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 8(f) shall be binding on the Holder
and the Company. No provision hereof may be waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement
is sought. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Other Holder to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any
provision of any of the Other Agreements unless the same consideration also is offered to the Holder.
