This Member Interest Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into as of December 29, 2009, by and among Energy Focus, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), Stones River Companies, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company (“Company”), TLC Investments, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company (“TLC”), and Xxxx Xxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Tennessee residents (TLC, Xx. Xxxx, and Xx. Xxxxxx collectively, the “Sellers”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, TLC is the sole owner of all of the member interests of the Company (the “Units”) and Xx. Xxxx and Xx. Xxxxxx are the sole owners of all of the member interests of TLC; and

WHEREAS, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, Sellers desire to sell, and Buyer desires to purchase, the Units, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, so that on and after the Closing Date, as defined in Section 2.1, the Buyer can acquire the Assets of the Company and operate its Business, as defined in Appendix A.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and each intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

PURCHASE AND SALE OF UNITS

Section 1.1 Units; Excluded Assets; Excluded Liabilities.

1.1.1 Purchase of Units. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Sellers shall sell, assign, transfer and deliver to Buyer at the Closing, and Buyer shall purchase from Sellers at the Closing, the Units, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and restrictions of any kind, in exchange for the purchase price, as described in Article II below.

1.1.2 Excluded Assets. Sellers shall not sell, and Company shall not retain after the Closing, the assets of the Company set forth on Schedule 1.1 (the “Excluded Assets”). Prior to or after the Closing, the Company shall transfer or distribute the Excluded Assets to the Sellers as the parties shall agree.

1.1.3 Excluded Liabilities. As of and after the Closing, the Company shall not be responsible for the liabilities of the Company set forth on Schedule 1.1 (the “Excluded Liabilities”), and Sellers shall assume, perform, and in due course discharge the Excluded Liabilities, and indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Buyer from and against those Liabilities, according to the terms of Section 8.2. As of the Closing, the Assets of the Company

being retained by it shall be free and clear of all liens, mortgages, encumbrances, and restrictions.

Section 1.2 Transfer of Units. At the Closing, title to all of the Units shall pass to Buyer. Sellers shall present to Buyer: (i) certificate(s) representing the Units, duly endorsed, with powers of attorney duly executed in blank, with all transfer taxes, if any, paid in full, and/or a separate assignment of the Units, duly endorsed; (ii) the minute book(s), unit ledgers and seal of Company; and (iii) such other instruments of title which are reasonably appropriate to convey and assign all of the Units to Buyer. From and after the Closing, Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate to execute, deliver and record such instruments of title and other documents reasonably requested by the other part(ies) in order to more fully perfect Buyer’s right, title and interest in and to the Units, and to more fully perfect the security interests and pledge granted and conveyed from Buyer and Company to Sellers.

Section 1.3 Assignment of Contracts and Rights. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not operate to assign any Contract or any other Asset or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, if an attempted assignment thereof as part of the sale and purchase of the Units, without the consent of a third party thereto (including a government or governmental unit), would constitute a breach, default or other contravention thereof or in any way adversely affect the rights of Company, Sellers, or Buyer thereunder. Company, Sellers, and Buyer shall each use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the consent of such third parties for the assignment hereof prior to Closing, and if such consent is not obtained by Closing or if such attempted assignment thereof would not assign all of the rights thereunder at Closing, then Company, Sellers, and Buyer, shall continue to cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts to obtain an assignment of all of such rights thereunder. To the extent that the consents and waivers referred to herein are not obtained, or until the impediments to the sale, assignment, transfer, delivery or sublease referred to therein are resolved, Sellers and Company shall use their reasonable best efforts to: (i) provide, at the request of Buyer, to Buyer the benefits of any such Asset referred to herein, (ii) cooperate in any lawful arrangement designed to provide such benefits to Buyer, and (iii) enforce, at the request of and for the account of Buyer, any rights of Sellers or Company arising from any Asset referred to herein against any third person (including a government or governmental unit) including the right to elect to terminate in accordance with the terms thereof upon the advice of Buyer. Buyer shall not be required by this Section 1.3 to enter into any arrangement that would impose any additional cost, expense or liability or that would deprive Buyer of any material benefits or profits. Nothing herein shall affect the conditions to Buyer’s obligations set forth in Article VI herein.

Section 1.4 Survival of Quotations. For all Contracts, proposals, bids, and the like listed on Schedule A-8, Sellers shall provide to Buyer copies of all quotations for the provision of goods and services submitted by their Affiliates. Sellers shall cause those Affiliates to honor those quotations and, if requested by Buyer, shall provide written confirmations from the Affiliates.

Buyer shall cause Company to deliver an additional eight percent (8%) management fee on Company project revenues above $20,000,000.00 in fiscal year 2010 for those projects on which TLC provides installation support services. “Project revenues” shall have the same meaning as “Gross Revenue” in Section 2.3(a).

Section 2.14 Shares of Common Stock. At the Closing Buyer shall issue to Sellers 1,000,000 shares of its Common Stock (the “Shares”). The Shares shall be entitled to the same registration rights as the conversion shares covered by the Convertible Promissory Note.
