Upon execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall deposit with Ficocelli, on behalf of the Seller Parties, the sum of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) as a good faith, earnest money deposit (the “Earnest Money Deposit”). The Earnest Money Deposit shall be non-refundable to Purchaser except in the event of Seller Parties’ failure to close that is not the result of any action or inaction attributable to Purchaser, and in such case shall be retained by Seller Parties as liquidated damages for any harm or damages suffered by Seller Parties in connection with the failed Closing. Upon retention of the Earnest Money Deposit by Seller Parties, if Purchaser fails to proceed to Closing, Seller Parties shall have no further claim hereunder and Purchaser shall not bear any further liability to Seller Parties for its failure to Close.

If, after receipt of Purchaser’s Closing Notice, the Seller Parties do not make their schedules available for Closing on a date prior to the November 14, 2014 deadline, or if Seller Parties otherwise breach any of their representations in this Agreement prior to Closing, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Purchasers in its entirety, within five (5) business days of the later of November 14, 2014 or Purchaser’s written request therefor. In such event, should Seller Parties fail to return the Earnest Money Deposit as provided herein, any costs incurred by Purchaser in connection with the collection of such Earnest Money Deposit, including but not limited to reasonable attorney fees and court costs, shall be borne by the Seller Parties and shall be reimbursed to Purchaser.

Section 9.2 Escrow Agreement and Deposit of Holdback Deposit into Escrow

At Closing, the parties will enter into an escrow agreement with Shutts & Bowen, LLP as “Escrow Agent” in the form of Exhibit 9.2 hereto providing, among other things, for Purchaser’s delivery of a “Holdback” deposit of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00) to Escrow Agent at Closing, representing a portion of the Purchase Price to be held back for a period of nine (9) months following the Closing (the “Holdback Deposit”). Such Holdback Deposit shall be held by Escrow Agent for the benefit of the Seller Parties except to the extent that any claims under Article 10 below are made by Purchaser in respect of such Holdback Deposit. The Escrow Agreement provides for the parties to provide joint written instructions to Escrow Agent as to the release of any funds held in escrow, and each party hereby agrees to comply with the provisions of this Agreement when executing such instructions to Escrow Agent. Unless any claims are then pending, all funds held in escrow shall be released from escrow not later than nine months following the Closing Date (the “Escrow Term”). The escrow shall terminate on the Escrow Term date unless escrow funds are earlier exhausted or as provided under the Escrow Agreement.

ARTICLE 10
SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION

Section 10.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties, etc.

All representations and warranties, covenants, agreements, and other undertakings of the parties contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto, shall survive the Closing. The representations and warranties (but not the covenants, agreements, or other undertakings) of the parties contained in this Agreement shall expire on a date twelve (12) months after the Closing; provided, however, that notwithstanding the aforementioned expiration date, all representations and warranties of the Seller Parties which relate to (i) title to the Shares shall survive the Closing without limitation; and (ii) liabilities for Taxes (Section 4.10) and Environmental, Health and Safety matters (Section 4.13), shall survive until the termination or expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations with respect thereto.

Section 10.2 Indemnification Obligations

(a)

Obligation of Seller Parties. Seller Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Purchaser from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, obligations, payments, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, losses in the absence of third party claims, the costs and expenses of any and all actions, suits, proceedings, judgments, settlements, and compromises relating thereto, and reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection therewith) (collectively, “Indemnifiable Losses” and each an “Indemnifiable Loss”) of Purchaser, arising out of or due to, directly or indirectly, a breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, or undertakings of Seller Parties contained in this Agreement.

(b)

Obligations of Purchaser. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Seller Parties from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses of Seller Parties arising out of or due to, directly or indirectly, a breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, or undertakings of Purchaser contained in this Agreement.

Section 10.3 Procedure for Indemnification

(a)

Third Party Claims. If a party entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a) or Section 10.2(b) (the “Indemnitee”) receives notice of the assertion by a person who is not a party to this Agreement of any claim or of the commencement by any such person of any action or proceeding (a “Third Party Claim”) with respect to which another party to this Agreement (the “Indemnifying Party”) is obligated to provide indemnification, the Indemnitee shall give the Indemnifying Party notice thereof promptly after the Indemnitee has actual knowledge of such Third Party Claim. Such notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, and shall indicate the amount (estimated if necessary) of the Indemnifiable Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnitee. If, within fifteen (15) days after its receipt of Indemnitee’s notice of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party provides a written notice to the Indemnitee that it will indemnify and hold the Indemnitee harmless from all Indemnifiable Losses related to such Third Party Claim and acknowledging that any losses that may be assessed against the Indemnitee in connection with such Third Party Claim constitute loses for which the Indemnitee shall be indemnified pursuant to this Article 10, the Indemnitee shall permit the Indemnifying Party (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party) to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim or any litigation with a third party resulting therefrom; provided, however, that (i) the counsel for the Indemnifying Party who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation shall be subject to the approval of the Indemnitee, (ii) the Indemnitee may participate in such defense at the Indemnitee’s expense, (iii) the Indemnitee’s failure to give notice of the Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement except, and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure to give notice, the defense against such claim is materially impaired, and (iv) the fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnitee prior to the assumption of a Third Party Claim hereunder by the Indemnifying Party’s shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. Except with the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, no Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any Third Party Claim, shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnitee or that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a general release from any and all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of the defense against a Third Party Claim if (1) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (2) the claim seeks an injunction, specific performance or any other equitable or non-monetary relief against the Indemnitee; (3) the Indemnitee reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the Third Party Claim would be materially detrimental to or materially injure the Indemnitee’s reputation or future business prospects; (4) the Indemnitee has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee; or (5) the Indemnifying Party fails to vigorously prosecute or defend such claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not accept the defense of a Third Party Claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of the written notice thereof from the Indemnified Party described above, or fails to notify the Indemnitee of its election as herein provided to accept or reject the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the full right to defend against any such claim or demand and may pay, compromise, or defend such Third Party Claim without waiving its claim for indemnification hereunder. In any event, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and the records of each shall be reasonably available to the other with respect to such defense., the Indemnitee Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnitee shall settle or compromise any claim over the objection of the other; provided, however, that consent to settlement or compromise shall not be unreasonably withheld. In any event, the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party may each participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any claim, the Indemnitee shall make available on a reasonable basis to the Indemnifying Party any personnel or any books, records, or other documents within its control that are necessary for such defense. If the Indemnifying Party objects to liability for indemnification hereunder in respect of a Third Party Claim as to which Indemnitee has notified Indemnifying Party (a “Protested Claim”) hereunder, such Protested Claim shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant to Article 12 hereof for determination of such Claim’s status as an Indemnifiable Loss hereunder. Any decision of the arbitrator or arbitration panel as to the Protested Claim shall be final and binding on the parties hereto.

(b)

Direct Claims. Any claim on account of an Indemnifiable Loss which does not result in a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days within which to respond thereto. If the Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted responsibility to make payment, and shall have no further right to contest the validity of such claim. If the Indemnifying Party does respond within such thirty (30) day period and rejects such claim in whole or in part, the Indemnitee (or the Indemnifying Party) shall be free to submit the matter to arbitration pursuant to Article 12 hereof for determination of such Claim’s status as an Indemnifiable Loss hereunder. Any decision of the arbitrator or arbitration panel as to the Protested Claim shall be final and binding on the parties hereto.

(c)

Purchaser Claims Approved for Satisfaction. The following shall be deemed to be “Claims Approved for Satisfaction” from the Holdback Deposit in escrow or, once the Holdback Deposit is exhausted, by abatement of Purchaser’s rent obligations under the Lease Agreement, as provided in Section 10.5: (i) the amount of any final assessment against Purchaser arising from any Third Party Claim as to which Purchaser has notified Seller Parties and Seller Parties have assumed such claim in writing pursuant to Section 10.3(a) hereof; (ii) the amount of any final assessment against Purchaser arising from any Third Party Claim as to which an arbitration award or decision has confirmed such claim as indemnifiable by Seller Parties; (iii) the amount of any Direct Claim as to which Seller Parties have accepted responsibility or failed to timely disclaim as provided under Section 10.3(b) hereof; and (iv) the amount of any Direct Claim as to which an arbitrator or arbitration panel has confirmed such claim as indemnifiable by Seller Parties.

(d)

Requirement to Provide Joint Written Instruction. In the event that Purchaser presents a Claim Approved for Satisfaction to Escrow Agent for payment thereon from the Holdback Deposit, Purchaser and Seller Parties shall be required to provide a joint written instruction as to payment of such claim.

Section 10.4 Limitations

The indemnification provisions of this Section 10 shall be Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for any breach by Seller Parties of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement. Seller Parties shall have no liability to Purchaser with respect to any claim under Section 10.2(a) hereof until the total of all damages with respect to such claim exceeds twenty-five thousand dollars (U.S. $25,000) and then, only for the amount by which such claim exceeds twenty-five thousand dollars (U.S. $25,000). In addition, anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, Seller Parties shall have no aggregate liability to Purchaser with respect to all claims under Section 10.2(a) hereof in an amount in excess of three million dollars (U.S. $3,000,000). By way of clarification only, the Holdback Deposit is intended to facilitate indemnification payments under this Article 10, but shall in no way be interpreted as a limitation of the aggregate liability hereunder.

Section 10.5 Purchaser’s Right of set-Off/Abatement from Lease Obligations

In the event that any claim for an Indemnifiable Loss is brought hereunder by Purchaser after the Holdback Deposit has been exhausted or after the end of the Escrow Term, the Purchaser shall have the right to recover the amount of any such claim for Indemnifiable Loss by set-off or cancellation against, or abatement of, any rent or other payment obligations of Purchaser under the Lease Agreement, up to an aggregate of One Hundred Fifty Thousand and NO/100 Dollars ($150,000.00), following the procedures for claims set forth in this Article 10. Any Claim Approved for Satisfaction may be automatically deducted by Purchaser from its obligations under the Lease Agreement, after first exhausting the available Holdback Deposit.

Section 10.6 Indemnification Payments

To the extent that any indemnification payments to which Purchaser is entitled under this Article 10 exceed the Holdback Deposit after payments have been made in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, and exceed any amounts recoverable pursuant to Purchaser’s right under Section 10.5 to set-off against its obligations under the Lease Agreement, the Seller Parties shall pay such difference to the Purchaser in immediately available funds, up to the limits established in Section 10.4.

ARTICLE 11
TERMINATION AND ABANDONMENT

Section 11.1 Termination

This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a)

By mutual consent of Purchaser and Seller Parties; or

(b)

By either Seller Parties or Purchaser if, without fault of the terminating party, the Closing shall not have occurred by the date for such Closing pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, which date may be extended only by mutual agreement of Purchaser and Seller Parties.

The date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section is herein referred to as the “Termination Date.”

Section 11.2 Effect of Termination

Section 11.3 Expenses on Termination

Each party hereto shall pay all of the fees and expenses incurred by it in connection herewith in the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.1.

ARTICLE 12

ARBITRATION

Any and all disputes, disagreements and matters in question between Seller Parties and Purchaser arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, disputes, disagreements or matters in question concerning a party’s liability as an Indemnifying Party for any Indemnifiable Loss under Article 10, breach of warranty, breach of contract, representations or omissions, and all torts and statutory causes of action (collectively, "Arbitrable Claims") shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in effect as of the date of this Agreement (unless the parties mutually agree otherwise). The arbitrator or arbitration panel will decide all Arbitrable Claims between the parties in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its choice of law provisions or principles which might otherwise call for the application of a different State's law. No party may initiate any arbitration proceeding concerning an Arbitrable Claim unless and until such party has first delivered to the other parties hereto, written notice specifically identifying the dispute, disagreement or matter in question (the “Notice of Dispute’), and provided such other parties a reasonable opportunity to settle the dispute, disagreement or matter in question, but in no case less than thirty (30) days after the date the Notice of Dispute is delivered to such other parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a request for arbitration relating to a Protested Claim, the Notice of Dispute shall be dispensed with and the party seeking resolution of its indemnification status in connection with such Protested Claim may proceed directly to arbitration after giving the other party or parties hereto five (5) business days’ prior written notice of its intent to arbitrate.

The foregoing agreement shall be specifically enforceable under applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The award rendered by the arbitrator or arbitrators shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof. If a party uses litigation to enforce the parties' agreement to arbitrate or the arbitration award, the court will award such party its court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees at all levels, including, without limitation, at trial, on appeal, in bankruptcy and with respect to post-judgment collection efforts.

The parties agree that the final decision reached pursuant to dispute resolution procedure selected pursuant to this Agreement shall be binding on the parties hereto.

ADDENDUM TO RETAIL LEASE

This Addendum to Commercial Lease and Deposit Receipt (this "Addendum") is attached to and incorporated into and forms an integral part of that certain Commercial Lease and Deposit Receipt (the "Lease") by and between ROBERT FICOCELLI, an individual (“LESSOR”), and MAGNEGAS CORPORATION, a Florida foreign profit corporation (“LESSEE”). Capitalized but undefined terms used in this Addendum have the meaning set forth in the Lease. This Addendum shall be read consistent with the terms of the Lease, but in the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Lease and the provisions of this Addendum, the provisions of this Addendum will control as to the conflicting provisions.

Permitted Use. As used in the Lease, the term "Use" means a first class delicatessen similar to those found in other Class A office buildings located in the same market / trade area in which the Building is located with limited in-Premises dining (no table service) and serving hot and cold breakfast and lunch fare and entrees including, without limitation, soups and sandwiches and hot and cold beverages (but no beer, wine or other alcoholic beverages) and other outgoing food orders and preparation incidental thereto. Lessor hereby approves of Lessee's menu attached hereto as Annex 1. Without limitation of the above, any material change in such menu shall require Lessor's prior written consent, such not to be unreasonably withheld unless such change would conflict with any exclusive use right of any other Lessee in the Building or otherwise cause Lessor to be in breach of any other lease or agreement, in which case Lessor may withhold consent in its sole discretion. Lessee's pricing shall not exceed pricing for similar offerings and services in other delicatessen's serving Class A office buildings in the same market/trade area as the Building.

Trade Name. Lessee shall operate and conduct its business in the Premises under the trade name ________________________and no other trade name without Lessor's prior written approval.

Operation.

(i)

Lessee shall commence its business operations in the Premises not later than the Commencement Date and thereafter shall conduct its business in the Premises continuously during the hours of 7:00 a.m. through 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding Holidays ("Minimum Operating Hours"). Lessee shall in no event be open for business during other than the Building's Business Hours without Lessor's consent.

(ii)

Lessee acknowledges that its continued occupancy of the Premises and the regular conduct of its business therein during the Minimum Operating Hours are of utmost importance to neighboring Lessees and to Lessor in the renting of space in the Building, the renewal of other leases therein, the efficient and economic supply of services and utilities, and in the character and quality of the other Lessees in the Building. Lessee therefore covenants and agrees that throughout the Term of this Lease it will occupy the entire Premises and comply strictly with the provisions of the Lease and shall keep the Premises properly equipped and stocked with an adequate supply of food and drink items and open to the public for business with adequate trained personnel in attendance. Lessee acknowledges that Lessor is executing the Lease in reliance thereupon and that the same is a material element inducing Lessor to execute this Lease.

(iii)

Lessee shall operate its business within the Premises in a manner consistent with the first-class level of services, which Lessor wishes to have provided to the occupants of the Building, and shall maintain a neat, clean, wholesome and reputable environment. Toward this end, Lessor may choose to conduct, from time to time during the Term, Lessee surveys to establish the opinions of the occupants of the Building as to the amenities and retail operations, including Lessee's operations within the Project.

(a)

In the event the results of any of Lessor's Lessee surveys indicate that more than thirty percent (30%) of the occupants of the Building responding to such survey (with a minimum requirement of twenty-five percent (25%) of all occupants of the Building responding for the survey to be valid) have expressed an opinion of Lessee's operation as being substandard, Lessor may give Lessee notice of such substandard performance ("Substandard Performance Notice") describing in detail the nature of its substandard performance. Lessee shall take immediate steps to improve the quality of its operation and to remedy such substandard performance. Lessee's performance during the three (3) months following Lessee's receipt of a Substandard Performance Notice shall be the "Cure Period". Within thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the Cure Period, Lessor shall again survey the occupants of the Building to determine if, in their opinion, the substandard performance has been corrected. If the survey results continue to indicate that more than thirty percent (30%) of the occupants of the Building responding to such survey (with a minimum requirement of twenty-five percent (25%) of all occupants of the Building responding for the survey to be valid) have indicated that Lessee has not remedied such substandard performance, Lessor may, within forty-five (45) days after Lessor compiles the results of the Lessee survey, elect to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Lessee, such termination to be effective as of the date specified in Lessor's notice, such to be not less than forty-five (45) days later upon which this Lease shall terminate (the "Termination Date").

(b)

If at least twenty-five percent (25%) of all occupants of the Building indicate in their survey response that they desire additional menu items be provided by Lessee and such are consistent with the required Use of the Premises and Lessee's provision thereof would not cause Lessor to be in violation of any exclusive use right of any other Lessee or of any other agreement affecting the Project, upon request by Lessor Lessee shall use reasonable efforts to provide such additional menu items.

Restrictions on Use.

(i)

Lessee (or anyone acting through, for, or in place of Lessee) shall not conduct or advertise on or from or pertaining to the Premises any auction or closing-out wholesale business, nor shall Lessee grant any concession, license, or permission to any third party to sell or take orders for merchandise or services from the Premises.

(ii)

Lessee shall not cause or maintain any nuisance in or about the Premises, and shall keep the Premises free of debris, rodents, vermin and anything of a dangerous, noxious or offensive nature or which could create a fire hazard (through undue load on electrical circuits or otherwise) or undue vibration, heat or noise. Lessee shall not permit any objectionable or offensive noise or odors to be emitted from the Premises; or do anything, or permit anything to be done, which would, in Lessor's opinion, disturb or tend to disturb other Lessees occupying leased space in the Building. If, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of written notice, Lessee does not act upon a request from Lessor that Lessee control any such odors, then Lessor shall have the right to take reasonable steps to cure the problem, and Lessee shall reimburse Lessor within thirty (30) days thereafter for the costs thereof.

(iii)

Lessee shall not use in the Premises sound equipment (such as loudspeakers, broadcasts and telecasts) in a manner seen or heard outside the Premises, and shall not place or keep any merchandise or other things in the Common Areas.

Permits and Licenses. Lessee shall procure at its sole expense any permits and licenses required for the transaction of business in the Premises for the Use. At Lessor's request, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor copies of all such permits and licenses and proof of Lessee's compliance with all such Laws. Lessee prominently shall display all such licenses and permits in the Premises as required by law and otherwise comply with all applicable laws, ordinances and governmental regulations governing Lessee's use and occupancy of the Premises including, without limitation, those regarding cleanliness, health and hygiene pertaining to food storage, preparation and service.

Employee Dress and Conduct. Lessee shall make whatever arrangement with its own employees it deems appropriate regarding the purchase of and maintenance of the standard uniforms, however, Lessee shall require the standard uniforms to be worn by all of its employees at all times while on duty in the Premises so that all employees present a clean and well-groomed appearance. Lessor may, at any time, direct Lessee to require any of its employees not so attired to immediately conform to the requirements of this Section or leave the Building. In no event shall Lessee permit its employees to use any portion of the Common Areas, including but not limited to any public washrooms located therein, for the changing of clothes or for the storage of their personal effects nor shall Lessee permit its employees to loiter at the entrance to the Premises or in the Common Areas of the Project

Fixtures and Equipment. Lessee shall install and maintain at all times in the Premises modern and high quality fixtures, furnishings, fittings and equipment adequate, appropriate and properly laid out to sustain Lessee's sales and operations. All equipment installed or used by Lessee in the Premises shall be properly installed and, where necessary, with adequate electrical wiring in conformity with the recommendations of the manufacturers thereof and with all applicable codes and ordinances. All electrical equipment shall have been tested and approved by the Underwriter's Laboratory or similar safety testing organization. No equipment shall be used by Lessee in the Premises unless and until such equipment and the installation thereof has been inspected and approved by the departments or bureaus of the City of Atlanta, Georgia and Fulton County, Georgia and other governmental authorities having jurisdiction and unless, until and only for so long as all necessary permits and authorizations for the use and/or operation thereof have been obtained by Lessee from such authorities at Lessee's sole cost and expense.

Use of Lessor's Personal Property in Premises. Reference is made hereby to the fixtures and equipment attached to this Addendum as Annex 2 (collectively, the "Equipment") and which is the property of Lessor. Lessor agrees that it will allow the Equipment to remain in the Premises and Lessor has no objection to Lessee's use thereof, all without representation or warranty or covenant of Lessor with respect thereto. Lessee shall not remove any of the Equipment during the initial Term (or any extension thereof) without Lessor's consent and then only if Lessee replaces such Equipment with new equipment of similar quality and function. Upon expiration of the Term or such earlier termination of the Term of this Lease, the Equipment shall remain the personal property of Lessor and shall not be removed from the Premises. Lessee shall maintain the Equipment in good condition and repair during the Term and use the Equipment only for purposes intended and in compliance with all laws, and in the event Lessee replaces any of the Equipment, such replacement Equipment shall thereafter be deemed Equipment and shall be the personal property of Lessor upon the expiration or early termination of this Lease. LESSOR MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY REGARDING THE CONDITION OF THE EQUIPMENT AND SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO MAINTAIN, REPAIR OR REPLACE ANY OF THE EQUIPMENT. LESSEE ACCEPTS THE USE OF THE EQUIPMENT DURING THE TERM ON AN "AS IS, WHERE IS" BASIS WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR TITLE).

Promotion.

(i)

Lessee shall display such name as Lessor may from time to time designate for the retail area(s) of the Building, and in material which is given, visible or available to customers of Lessee upon the Premises and shall promote such name in any advertisements or promotional material published or initiated by Lessee in regard to its business from the Premises.

(ii)

THIS NONSOLICITATION AND NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of ____________, by and among MagneGas Corporation, a Florida corporation (“MagneGas”) and Equipment Sales and Service, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”) on the one part, and Stephen R. Homer (“Homer”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, MagneGas is the purchaser under that certain Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) between MagneGas and Homer, the Robert A. Ficocelli Revocable Trust, and Robert A. Ficocelli (jointly, Homer, the Trust and Mr. Ficocelli as “Seller Parties” thereunder), dated as of October 10, 2014 for the purchase of all the stock of the Company from the Seller Parties thereunder;

WHEREAS, an integral part of the incentive for MagneGas to pay the purchase price under the SPA (the “Purchase Price”) is Homer’s agreement to enter into a non-competition and non-solicitation agreement with the Company and MagneGas under the terms set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of MagneGas’s payment of the Purchase Price, part of which is directly related to the benefit to be received by MagneGas hereunder, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

Section 1. Nonsolicitation. For a period of five (5) years after the closing of the transactions contemplated by the SPA (the “Restriction Period”), Homer shall not, directly or indirectly solicit, induce, or influence any customer, supplier, lender, lessor, or any other person or entity which has a business relationship with the Company (or any affiliate of the Company) to discontinue, reduce the extent of, or otherwise adversely affect such business relationship. Homer shall not, at any time during the Restriction Period, directly or indirectly recruit, solicit, hire, employ or otherwise induce or influence any employee, agent, independent contractor, or consultant of the Company (or any affiliate of the Company) to discontinue his/her/its employment, agency, contract, or other relationship with the Company (or such affiliate).

Section 2. Confidentiality. Homer acknowledges that he is a party to that certain Confidential Non-Disclosure Agreement dated as of August 13, 2014 with MagneGas (the “NDA”), and that the SPA also contains certain confidentiality provisions as to the transactions contemplated thereby, and that nothing stated herein is intended to alter, modify or amend the terms of such confidentiality provisions or the terms of the NDA. Homer’s obligations pursuant to such NDA and confidentiality provisions shall continue in full force and effect and shall apply to all Company property as identified in such NDA and to all Confidential Information, as defined below. “Confidential Information” shall mean information relating to the Company and the Company’s affiliates’ method of operations, techniques, business programs, business strategies, computer systems, computer programming, developments, improvements, business plans, research, discoveries, accounting, recording, marketing, advertising and promotional materials, suppliers, pricing, costs, customers, and employees, as well as other information which may be deemed by any custom, usage, or authority to be intellectual property, trade secrets, or know-how, AND as to the terms of the SPA and its effect on such Confidential Information. Homer recognizes and acknowledges that each and every item of Confidential Information is a valuable, special, and unique asset of the Company and the Company’s affiliates. Accordingly, Homer will not disclose, disseminate, publish, or use any portion of the Confidential Information for any purpose whatsoever, unless such disclosure, dissemination, publication, or use is expressly permitted by Company in writing or is compelled by a court order or subpoena.

Section 3. Noncompetition Obligations. During the Restriction Period Homer shall not, individually or jointly with others, directly or indirectly, whether for his own account or for that of any other person or entity, own or hold any ownership interest in any person or entity engaged in a business which directly or indirectly competes with or has a business relationship with the Company or MagneGas, and Homer shall not act as an officer, director, employee, partner, independent contractor, consultant, principal, agent, proprietor, or in any other capacity for, nor lend any assistance (financial or otherwise) or cooperation to, any such person, or entity; provided, however, that it shall not be a violation of this Section 3 for Homer to own a one percent (1%) or smaller interest in any corporation required to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Specifically, by way of illustration and not of limitation, Homer shall not invest in or solicit for employment at the following businesses: welding gas distribution companies, welding repair companies, industrial gas distribution companies, gas manufacturing companies.

Section 4. Reasonableness of Restrictions; Reformation; Enforcement. Homer recognizes and acknowledges that the geographical and time limitations contained in Sections 1 and 3 of this Agreement are reasonable and properly required for the adequate protection of MagneGas, the Company and their affiliates’ legitimate business interests. It is agreed by the parties hereto that if any portion of the restrictions contained in Sections 1 or 3 are held to be unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy, then the restrictions shall be considered divisible, both as to the time and to geographical area, with each month of the specified period being deemed a separate period of time and each county of the restricted territory being deemed a separate geographical area, so that the lesser period of time or geographical area shall remain effective so long as the same is not unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy. The parties hereto agree that in the event any court of competent jurisdiction determines the specified period or the specified geographical area of the restricted territory to be unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy, a lesser time period or geographical area which is determined to be reasonable, nonarbitrary, and not against public policy may be enforced against Homer. If Homer violates any of the covenants contained herein and if any action is instituted by MagneGas or the Company to prevent or enjoin such violation, then the period of time during which Homer’s business activities shall be restricted, as provided in this Agreement, shall be lengthened by a period of time equal to the period between the date of Homer’s breach of the terms or covenants contained in this Agreement and the date on which the decree of the court disposing of the issues upon the merits shall become final and not subject to further appeal. Homer expressly agrees and acknowledges that the transactions contemplated by the SPA include the sale of the trade secrets previously held by Homer through his ownership of the Company and that the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement, including their length and geographic scope are necessary to protect MagneGas and the Company and to give them the benefit of the bargain contemplated by the SPA.

Section 5. No Remedy at Law. Homer agrees that the remedy at law for any breach by Homer of the covenants contained in Sections 1, 2, and 3 hereof will be inadequate and would be difficult to ascertain and will cause irreparable injury to MagneGas and/or the Company, for which neither MagneGas nor the Company will have an adequate remedy at law. Therefore, in the event of the breach or threatened breach of any such covenants, MagneGas and the Company, in addition to any other remedy, shall have the right to enjoin Homer from any threatened or actual activities in violation thereof, and Homer hereby consents and agrees that temporary and permanent injunctive relief may be granted in any proceedings which might be brought to enforce any such covenants without the necessity of proof of actual damages. In the event that MagneGas or the Company does apply for such an injunction, Homer shall not raise as a defense thereto that MagneGas or the Company has an adequate remedy at law.

Section 6. Miscellaneous .

a. Amendments. No change, modification, or termination of any of the terms, provisions, or conditions of this Agreement shall be effective unless made in writing and signed or initialed by all parties hereto. There shall be no oral modifications of this Agreement.

b. Governing Law; Litigation. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without reference to principles of choice of law thereunder. Any dispute directly or indirectly arising under or related to this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Pinellas County, Florida, and the parties hereto hereby consent to the jurisdiction of such courts for this purpose.

c. Severability. Each section and paragraph of this Agreement constitutes a separate and distinct provision. In the event that such a provision is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the provision shall be deemed limited in scope and effect to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to render the same valid and enforceable. If such a limiting construction is impossible, such invalid or unenforceable provision shall be deemed severed from this Agreement, but every other provision of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

d. Headings and Captions. The headings, titles, captions, and sections contained in this Agreement are provided for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered a part hereof for purposes of interpreting or applying this Agreement; such titles or captions do not define, limit, extend, explain, or describe the scope or extent of this Agreement or any of its terms, provisions, representations, warranties, conditions, etc., in any manner or way whatsoever.

e. Gender and Number. All pronouns and variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, or neuter and to the singular or plural as the identity of the person or entity or persons or entities may require.

g. Assignment; Binding Effect on Successors and Assigns; Waiver. This Agreement may not be assigned by either party hereto without the written consent of the other party, except that this Agreement may be assigned by MagneGas or the Company to any affiliate of either of them. This Agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs, and permitted assigns. The successors and assigns of MagneGas and/or the Company may enforce any and all provisions of this Agreement. The failure of a party to enforce any term, provision, or condition of this Agreement at any time or times shall not be deemed a waiver of that term, provision, or condition for the future, nor shall any specific waiver of a term, provision, or condition at one time be deemed a waiver of such term, provision, or condition for any future time or times.

h. Entire Agreement; Counterparts. This Agreement and the SPA constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and it supersedes all prior memoranda, correspondence, conversations, and negotiations. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts that together shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.

i. No Conflicting Obligations. Homer hereby represents and warrants to MagneGas and the Company that Homer is not a party to, nor is Homer bound by, any agreement, court order, or other obligation that would restrict or prohibit Homer from performing any services for MagneGas or the Company or any affiliate thereof.

[FORM OF LEGAL OPINION]

MagneGas Corporation

150 Rainville Road

Tarpon Springs, FL 34689

Attention: Ermanno Santilli, President

Re:

Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of October 10, 2014 (“Agreement’) by and among MagneGas Corporation (“Purchaser”), Robert A. Ficocelli, individually and as trustee of the Robert A. Ficocelli Revocable Trust, and Stephen R. Homer (jointly, the “Seller Parties”).

Dear Mr. Santilli:

I have acted as counsel to the Seller Parties and to Equipment Sales and Service, Inc. (the “Corporation”) in connection with the transactions referred to in the Agreement (the “Transactions”). This opinion is rendered to you pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(iv) of the Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this letter and not defined herein shall have the meanings given to those terms in the Agreement.

I have examined the records of the Corporation, and such other agreements, documents, certificates, records or other instruments as I have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of rendering the opinions expressed in this letter.

As to various questions of fact, I have relied upon the statements of officers of the Corporation, upon records available for public inspection at the office of the Florida Office of the Secretary of State (“SOS”) and upon certificates and other documents from and communications with the Florida SOS and other public officials.

I have investigated such questions of law for the purpose of rendering this opinion as I have deemed necessary. I am opining herein only as to matters of Florida law and have assumed that the internal laws of the State of Florida govern the Transaction Documents (as herein defined).

In reaching the opinions set forth below, I have assumed the following matters to be true:

(a) Purchaser has duly and validly executed and delivered the Agreement and the related agreements and instruments (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) to which Purchaser is a party, and Purchaser’s obligations set forth therein are its legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms;

(b) Each person executing any such Transaction Document on behalf of Purchaser is duly authorized to do so;

(c) The Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws its state of incorporation; and

(d) All documents submitted to me as originals are authentic, all documents submitted to me as certified or photostatic copies conform to the original documents, all signatures on all documents submitted to me for examination are genuine, and all public records reviewed are accurate and complete.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

1. Equipment Sales and Service, Inc. is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Florida. The Articles of Incorporation of Equipment Sales and Service, Inc. do not violate any provision of the Florida Business Corporation Act, as amended.

2. The Robert A. Ficocelli Revocable Trust (the “Trust”) is a trust properly constituted under the laws of Florida and Robert A. Ficocelli is its duly appointed trustee (the “Trustee”). The Trustee has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trust, the Transaction Documents to which the Trust is a party and to perform the obligations of the Trust under the Transaction Documents and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.

3. Richard Homer is a natural person with legal capacity to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents to which he is a party and to perform his obligations under the Transaction Documents and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.

4. Each of the Transaction Documents to which any of the Seller Parties is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Selling Party and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such Selling Party, enforceable against such Selling Party in accordance with its terms.

5. The instruments of conveyance are in form and substance sufficient to transfer and assign to Purchaser each Selling Party’s right, title and interest in and to his or its respective shares of the Corporation’s common stock, purchased by the Purchaser from the Seller Parties pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement (the “Purchased Stock”), and to the best of my knowledge, upon execution and delivery thereof, against payment of the purchase price therefor, the Seller Parties’ right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Stock will vest in Purchaser.

6. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Seller Parties and their respective performance of the Transaction Documents to which each Selling Party is a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, do not:

a. violate, conflict with or result in the breach of any of the terms of, or result in a material modification of (i) the Trust’s governing documents, (ii) the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, (iii) to the best of my knowledge, any statute, law, rule or regulation, or any presently existing order, judgment or decree to which any of the Seller Parties, the Corporation, or the Corporation’s properties or assets are bound or subject;

b. to the best of my knowledge, violate, conflict with or result in the breach of any of the terms of, or result in a material modification of, or constitute (or with notice or lapse of time, or both, constitute) a default under any contract or other agreement to which any Selling Party or the Corporation is a party, or by which it or any of their respective assets or properties may be bound or subject, or otherwise give any other contracting party the right to terminate any contract or agreement with a Selling Party or the Corporation; or

c. to the best of my knowledge, violate or cause any revocation of or limitation on any permit (i) that is necessary to the lawful conduct of the Business of the Corporation or (ii) the violation, revocation or limitation of which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation or its assets.

7. To the best of my knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation at law or in equity, or before or by any federal, state, municipal or other government department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, pending or threatened against or affecting the Corporation, any Selling Party or any property of the Corporation or of any Selling Party that has had, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material adverse effect on the Corporation or any of its assets.

8. To the best of my knowledge, neither the Corporation nor any Selling Party is (i) in violation of any applicable law that has had, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material adverse effect on the Corporation or such Selling Party, or (ii) subject to or in default with respect to any final judgment, writ, injunction, decree, rule or regulation of any court or any commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, that has had, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material adverse effect on any Selling Party,Corporation or any of its assets.

9. The capitalization of the Corporation is as set forth on Attachment A to this opinion. All of the outstanding shares of the Corporation’s capital stock have been duly authorized, are validly issued, and are fully paid and non-assessable. The Corporation does not have any other authorized or outstanding series or classes of capital stock, or ot the best of my knowledge, any outstanding options, warrants, preemptive rights or other right to acquire any shares of capital stock of the Corporation.

10. The Purchased Stock, when sold and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and for the consideration expressed therein, shall be duly and validly issued and outstanding.

11. To the best of my knowledge, all consents, approvals, orders, or authorizations of, or registrations, qualifications, designations, declarations or filing with any governmental authority of the State of Florida on the part of the Corporation required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement have been obtained and are effective at this date.
