The Purchaser understands that its acquisition of the Shares has not been registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any state securities laws in reliance on specific exemptions therefrom, which exemptions may depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein.

3.2 Authorization; Validity of the Agreement. The Purchaser further represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company that (i) the Purchaser has full right, power, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and (ii) upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, assuming the valid execution hereof by the Company, this Agreement shall constitute valid and binding obligations of the Purchaser enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

3.3 No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Purchaser will not result in any violation of, be in conflict with or constitute a default under, any law, statute, regulation, ordinance, material contract or agreement, instrument, judgment, decree or order to which the Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

3.4 No Legal, Tax or Investment Advice. The Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement, the Company SEC Reports or any other materials presented to the Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of Shares. The Purchaser acknowledges that it has not relied on any representation or warranty from the Company or any other Person in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

3.5 Restrictive Legend. The Purchaser understands that, until such time as a registration statement covering the Shares has been declared effective or the Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Shares shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for the Shares):

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN FORM, SUBSTANCE AND SCOPE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.”

4.3 Covenants. Each party hereto shall promptly inform the other party of any communication from any Governmental Entity regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If any party or affiliate thereof receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any such Governmental Entity in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, then such party will endeavor in good faith to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request.

4.4 Rights to Future Stock Issuances.

(a) Right of First Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including this Section 4.4, and applicable securities laws, if, during the Lock-Up Period (as defined in Section 4.5), the Company proposes to offer or sell (a “New Equity Offering”) any shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company, whether or not currently authorized, or any other securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, with or without the payment of consideration, convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for equity securities of the Company (collectively, the “New Securities”), the Company shall first offer such New Securities (the “Right of First Offer”) to each Purchaser (each, a “ROFO Purchaser”).

(i) The Company shall give notice (the “Offer Notice”) to each ROFO Purchaser, stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such New Securities, (ii) the number of such New Securities to be offered, and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such New Securities.

(ii) By notification to the Company within ten (10) days after the Offer Notice is given, each ROFO Purchaser may elect to purchase or otherwise acquire, at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice, up to that portion of such New Securities which equals the proportion that the respective number of Shares issued to such ROFO Purchaser at the Closing bears to the total number of Shares issued to all Purchasers at the Closing. The closing of any sale pursuant to this Section 4.4(a)(ii) shall occur by the earlier of thirty (30) days of the date that the Offer Notice is given and the date of initial sale of New Securities pursuant to Section 4.4(a)(iii).

(iii) If all New Securities referred to in the Offer Notice are not elected to be purchased or acquired as provided in Section 4.4(a)(ii), the Company may, during the one hundred twenty (120) day period following the expiration of the periods provided in Section 4.4(a)(ii), offer and sell the remaining unsubscribed portion of such New Securities (subject to the RVL 1 Offer Right (as defined below)) to any Person or Persons at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the Offer Notice. If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the New Securities within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within sixty (60) days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such New Securities shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the ROFO Purchasers in accordance with this Section 4.4(a).

(iv) The parties acknowledge that the Company has previously granted a right of first offer with respect to the issuance of new equity securities to RVL 1 LLC (the “RVL 1 Offer Right”) pursuant to the Investment Agreement, dated as of September 12, 2012, by and between Nexxus Lighting, Inc. (as predecessor to the Company) and RVL 1 LLC. In the event of any conflict between the relative priority of the Right of First Offer hereunder and the RVL 1 Offer Right, the RVL 1 Offer Right shall be subordinated to the Right of First Offer. Accordingly, upon any New Equity Offering, the Company shall first comply with the terms of this Section 4.4; thereafter, to the extent that any portion of the New Securities in the New Equity Offering are not elected to be purchased or acquired as provided in Section 4.4(a)(ii), the Company shall then comply with its obligations pursuant to the RVL 1 Offer Right with respect to such unsubscribed portion. On or prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to the Purchasers an acknowledgement of RVL 1 LLC to this Section 4.4(a)(iv), and a waiver of the RVL 1 Offer Right in connection with the sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Termination of Right of First Offer. The covenants set forth in this Section 4.4 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earliest to occur of (x) the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, or (y) a Change of Control (as defined in Section 4.5). For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have no obligation to make any Right of First Offer to the Purchasers pursuant to this Section 4.4 until the Lock-Up Period shall have commenced in accordance with Section 4.5.

(c) Exempt Securities Issuance. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Right of First Offer in this Section 4.4 shall not be applicable to any Exempt Securities Issuance. For purposes of this Agreement, an “Exempt Securities Issuance” shall mean the issuance of any equity securities of the Company (i) under an equity incentive plan approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Board, including the Company’s 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended or modified from time to time); (ii) to financial institutions or lessors in connection with commercial credit arrangements, equipment financing or similar transactions; (iii) to third Persons as a component of any business relationship with such Person for purposes of (A) joint venture, technology licensing or development activities, (B) distribution, supply or manufacture of the Company’s products or services or (C) any other arrangements involving corporate partners that are primarily for purposes other than raising capital; (iv) as consideration in connection with the acquisition of another corporation or entity by the Company by consolidation, merger, purchase of all or substantially all of the assets, or other reorganization in which the Company acquires, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of such other corporation or entity or fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power of such other corporation or entity or fifty percent (50%) or more of the equity ownership of such other entity; (v) pursuant to any split, reverse split, dividend, recapitalization, combination or reclassification of any capital stock of the Company without the receipt of consideration by the Company; (vi) pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities; or (vii) in a sale to the public in an offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.

(d) Waiver of Right of First Refusal. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (x) any ROFO Purchaser may, by written notice to the Company, waive such ROFO Purchaser’s right to exercise such ROFO Purchaser’s Right of First Offer with respect to any New Equity Offering; provided, however, that any such waiver shall be irrevocable unless all of the other Purchasers and the Company, in their sole discretion, determine otherwise, and (y) the Purchasers may together, by written notice to the Company, waive the rights of all ROFO Purchasers to exercise their Right of First Offer with respect to any New Equity Offering.

4.5 Lock-Up Agreement. Except in connection with a Change of Control (as defined below), the Purchasers shall not, without prior written approval of the Company, directly or indirectly, sell, offer or agree to sell, contract to sell, grant any option for the sale of, make any short sale, pledge, or enter into any hedging transaction that could result in a transfer of, or otherwise dispose of the Shares for a period commencing as of the Closing Date and ending on the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Lock-Up Period”). For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” shall mean (x) the consummation of any of the following transactions: (i) the sale, lease, exchange, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s property or business, (ii) the merger of the Company into or its consolidation with any other entity in which the Company is not the surviving entity (other than a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) or (iii) any transaction (including a merger or other reorganization) or series of related transactions, in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Company is disposed of; or (y) individuals who, immediately after giving effect to the Closing, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Directors”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to such date, whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors then on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director) shall be an Incumbent Director.

4.6 Nasdaq Matters. The Company shall comply with all requirements of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. with respect to the issuance of the Shares. The Company shall take all necessary actions, including without limitation, complying with all requirements of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. and providing appropriate notice to NASDAQ with respect to the Shares in order to obtain the listing of the Shares on the NASDAQ Stock Market as soon as reasonably practicable.

4.7 Piggy-Back Registration Rights. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Company and the Purchasers shall enter into a Registration Rights Agreement in the form attached hereto as Annex A (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), granting the Purchasers “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to the Shares.

4.8 Public Announcements. The Company and the Purchasers will consult with each other and will mutually agree (the agreement of each party not to be unreasonably withheld) upon the content and timing of any press release or other public statement in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation and agreement, except as may be required by applicable law or stock exchange regulation, provided any such press release or other public announcement shall not contain the name of any Purchaser unless required by applicable law or unless consented in writing by such Purchaser.
