STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND REPRESENTATIONS
STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND REPRESENTATIONS
This stock purchase agreement ("Agreement"), along with the Signature Page and Questionnaire attached hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, is made effective February 23, 2011 by and between XsunX, a Colorado corporation ("XsunX") and the purchaser(s) signatory hereto (“Private Purchaser”). XsunX has received an offer to purchase certain shares of common voting stock ("Shares") of XsunX by Private Purchaser, and XsunX and Private Purchaser agree as set forth herein and represent to each other with regard thereto as follows:
1. XsunX is a duly organized Colorado corporation. The Articles of Incorporation of XsunX were filed on February 25, 1997. XsunX is authorized by its Articles of Incorporation to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of common voting stock, par value $.00 per share, of which approximately 214,931,522 shares are outstanding as of the date hereof.
2. Neither XsunX nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives have made any representation or statement of opinion regarding the value of XsunX or the Shares, Private Purchaser is purchasing the Shares purely on a speculative basis and confirms that Private Purchaser has been given no reason to believe that Private Purchaser will receive any return on the purchase of Shares.
3. Private Purchaser has offered to purchase the number of Shares at a price per share set forth on the Signature Page and Questionnaire which is attached hereto, incorporated herein, and made a part hereof, for a total purchase price as set forth on the Signature Page and Questionnaire. The purchase price shall be payable in cash or cash equivalent representing immediately available funds to the satisfaction of XsunX. Private Purchaser shall pay the purchase price prior to the issuance of the Shares. The Shares may be sold from authorized but unissued shares of XsunX, or treasury shares held by XsunX.
4. Private Purchaser understands that Private Purchaser must bear the economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time because the Shares will be restricted and no public market will exist for the Shares. Private Purchaser understands the speculative nature of investment in XsunX and that Private Purchaser could lose Private Purchaser's entire purchase price payment.
5. Private Purchaser represents that it has been called to Private Purchaser's attention that Private Purchaser's proposed investment in XsunX involves a high degree of risk which may result in the loss of the total amount of that investment.
6. Private Purchaser acknowledges that XsunX has made available to Private Purchaser or Private Purchaser's personal advisors the opportunity to obtain any and all information required to evaluate the merits and risks of purchase of the Shares, and that, XsunX has, prior to the sale of the Shares, accorded Private Purchaser and Private Purchaser's representative, if any, the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the proposed purchase and to obtain any additional information necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of the purchase of the Shares.
7. Private Purchaser and (if applicable) Private Purchaser's personal advisors and representatives have had an opportunity to ask questions of and receive satisfactory answers from XsunX, or any person or persons acting on XsunX's behalf, concerning the terms and conditions of Private Purchaser's proposed investment in XsunX, and all such questions have been answered to the complete satisfaction of Private Purchaser.

10. Private Purchaser has adequate means of providing for Private Purchaser's current needs and possible personal contingencies, and Private Purchaser has no need in the foreseeable future to sell the Shares for which Private Purchaser hereby subscribes. Private Purchaser is able to bear the economic risks of Private Purchaser's purchase of Shares and, consequently, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Private Purchaser is able to hold Private Purchaser's Shares for an indefinite period of time, and Private Purchaser has a sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of Private Purchaser's entire investment in XsunX in the event such loss should occur.
11. If Private Purchaser is an individual, Private Purchaser is 18 years of age or older.
12. Private Purchaser understands that the Shares will not be transferable except under limited circumstances.

Private Purchaser shall not engage in a distribution of the Shares.
14. Private Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that Private Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in XsunX or (if applicable) Private Purchaser and Private Purchaser's representative, together, have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that Private Purchaser and Private Purchaser's representative are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in XsunX.
15. The Shares will be acquired for Private Purchaser's own account for investment in a manner which would not require registration pursuant to the provisions of the Act, as amended, and Private Purchaser does not now have any reason to anticipate any change in Private Purchaser's circumstances or other particular occasion or event which would cause Private Purchaser to sell or otherwise dispose of the Shares.
16. Private Purchaser understands that the Commissioner of Corporations for the State of California or the State of Colorado, or any other state ("Commissioner") has not or will not recommend or endorse a purchase of the Shares.
17. Private Purchaser hereby represents and warrants that Private Purchaser's total purchase of Shares shall not exceed 10% of Private Purchaser's net worth (exclusive of principal residence, mortgage thereon, home furnishings and automobiles).
18. Private Purchaser: (i) has a pre-existing personal or business relationship with XsunX, its officers, directors or its Affiliates or representatives, and (ii) meets those certain standards involving Private Purchaser's minimum net worth and annual income as established by the California Commissioner of
2 |

20. Private Purchaser acknowledges that Private Purchaser understands the meaning and legal consequences of the representations, warranties, and covenants set forth herein, and that XsunX has relied on such representations, warranties and covenants.
21.

A legend regarding the foregoing and Rule 144 restrictions may be placed upon the certificate evidencing ownership of the Shares.
23. Private Purchaser acknowledges that Private Purchaser is aware that there are substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Shares. Because the Shares will not, and Private Purchaser has no right to require that the Shares, be registered pursuant to the provisions of the Act or otherwise, Private Purchaser agrees not to sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any Shares unless such sale is exempt from such registration pursuant to the provisions of the Act.
