        <footnote id="F1">The shares are subject to forfeiture and to a restriction on transfer. Each officer will forfeit his rights in his shares if he ceases to provide service to the
Company as an employee, director, or consultant prior to the closing of the first trading window after June 30, 2010, during which he does not possess
material inside information about the Company, other than cessation of service as a result of (i) his death or (ii) his total and permanent disability, or (iii)
within three months after a change in control of the Company. Should the officer cease to provide service to the Company as a result of any of these three
items, this restriction will lapse and his shares will not be forfeited. The terms &quot;service&quot;, &quot;total and permanent disability&quot;, and &quot;change in control&quot; are
defined in the Company's Plan. The term &quot;trading window&quot; means the first twenty calendar days after the second business day following public disclosure
of the Company's quarterly or annual financial results. Before the forfeiture provision lapses by its terms, or by the officer's earlier death or total and
permanent disability, or by his leaving the service of the company within three months after change in control, the officer is not allowed to transfer any
interest in his shares. Any attempt to transfer the shares will be ineffective.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">These options were performance-based and would only be exercisable if and only if Energy Focus, Inc. met specific financial performance criteria. These conditions were not met, therefore the stock options are forfeited.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Twenty-five percent were to become exercisable on February 10, 2010, and the remaining 75% were to become exercisable monthly in equal amounts over the following 36 months.</footnote>
