Dear Sirs:

1. INTRODUCTION. Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the purchasers, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Placement Agency Agreement (this “Agreement”) and the Securities Purchase Agreement in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) entered into with the purchasers identified therein (each a “Purchaser” and, collectively, the “Purchasers”), up to an aggregate of 15,000 units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of (i) one share (the “Shares”) of authorized but unissued Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”) of the Company, which shares of Preferred Stock shall be convertible into shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 990.1 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”). The Units, the Shares, the shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Shares”), the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities”. The Shares and the Warrants shall be immediately separable and transferable upon issuance. The terms of (i) the Preferred Stock are set forth in the form of Certificate of Designation (the “Certificate of Designation”) to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada and (ii) the Warrants are set forth in the form of Warrant attached as Exhibit B hereto. The Company hereby confirms that Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. (“Ladenburg”) and Trout Capital LLC (“Trout”, together with Ladenburg, the “Placement Agents”) have acted as the Placement Agents in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Ladenburg is acting as the representative of the Placement Agents and in such capacity is hereinafter referred to as the “Representative.”

2. AGREEMENT TO ACT AS PLACEMENT AGENTS; PLACEMENT OF THE UNITS. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company herein contained, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement:

(a) The Company hereby authorizes the Placement Agents to act as its exclusive agents to solicit offers for the purchase of all or part of the Units from the Company in connection with the proposed offering of the Units (the “Offering”). Until the Closing Date (as defined below) or earlier upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8, the Company shall not, without the prior consent of the Representative, solicit or accept offers to purchase the Units otherwise than through the Placement Agents.

(b) The Company hereby acknowledges that the Placement Agents have agreed, as agents of the Company, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to solicit offers to purchase the Units from the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus (as defined below). The Placement Agents shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Company in obtaining performance by each Purchaser whose offer to purchase the Units has been solicited by the Placement Agents and accepted by the Company, but the Placement Agents shall not, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, be obligated to disclose the identity of any potential purchaser or have any liability to the Company in the event any such purchase is not consummated for any reason. Under no circumstances will the Placement Agents be obligated to underwrite or purchase any Units for their own account and, in soliciting purchases of the Units, the Placement Agents shall act solely as the Company’s agent and not as principal.

(c) Subject to the provisions of this Section 2, offers for the purchase of the Units may be solicited by the Placement Agents as agents for the Company at such times and in such amounts as the Placement Agents deem advisable. The Placement Agents shall communicate to the Company, orally or in writing, each reasonable offer to purchase the Units received by them as agents of the Company. The Company shall have the sole right to accept offers to purchase the Units and may reject any such offer, in whole or in part. The Placement Agents shall have the right to reject any offer to purchase the Units received by them, in whole or in part, only following notice to the Company of such offer and the Company’s agreement with the Placement Agent regarding such rejection.

(d) The Units are being sold to the Purchasers at an offering price of $1,000 per Unit. The purchases of the Units by the Purchasers shall be evidenced by the execution of Securities Purchase Agreement by each of the Purchasers and the Company.

(e) As compensation for services rendered, on the Closing Date (as defined below), the Company shall pay to the Placement Agents by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Representative, an aggregate amount equal to 6.2% of the gross proceeds received by the Company (the “Placement Fee”) from the sale of the Units on such Closing Date. The Placement Agents may retain other brokers or dealers to act as sub-agents on their behalf in connection with the Offering, the fees of which shall be paid out of the Placement Fee.

(f) No Units which the Company has agreed to sell pursuant to this Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to have been purchased and paid for, or sold by the Company, until such Units shall have been delivered to the Purchaser thereof against payment by such Purchaser. If the Company shall default in its obligations to deliver the Units to a Purchaser whose offer it has accepted, the Company shall indemnify and hold the Placement Agent harmless against any loss, claim, damage or expense arising from or as a result of such default by the Company in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 7(c) herein.

3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY. The Company represents and warrants to the Placement Agents, as of the date hereof, and agrees with the Placement Agents that:

(a) The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Act”), a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-205168), including a base prospectus (the “Base Prospectus”), relating to, among other things, the Securities. Such registration statement, as amended, including the financial statements, exhibits and schedules thereto, at each time of effectiveness under the Act for purposes of Section 11 of the Act, as such section applies to the Placement Agents (the “Effective Time”), including any required information deemed to be part thereof at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430B under the Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”) is called the “Registration Statement.” Any preliminary prospectus supplement to the Base Prospectus that described the Securities and the offering thereof and is used prior to filing of the Prospectus is called, together with the Base Prospectus, a “Preliminary Prospectus.” The term “Prospectus” shall mean the prospectus supplement relating to the Securities, together with the Base Prospectus, that is first filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act after the date and time that this Agreement is executed and delivered to the parties hereto. If the Company files another registration statement with the Commission to register a portion of the Securities pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Act (the “Rule 462 Registration Statement”), then any reference to “Registration Statement” herein shall be deemed to include the registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-205168) and the Rule 462 Registration Statement, as each such registration statement may be amended pursuant to the Act. For purposes of this Agreement, “free writing prospectus” has the meaning ascribed to it in Rule 405 under the Act, and “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus” shall mean each free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Company or used or referred to by the Company in connection with the offering of the Securities. “Time of Sale Information” shall mean the Preliminary Prospectus together with the free writing prospectuses, if any, each identified in Schedule A hereto and the information included on Schedule B hereto. All references in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, the Rule 462 Registration Statement, a Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or the Time of Sale Information, or any amendments or supplements to any of the foregoing, shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents incorporated by reference therein, and shall include any copy thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”).

As used herein, the term “Incorporated Documents” means the documents that at the time of filing are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto.

(b) The Company satisfies all of the requirements of the Act for use of Form S-3 for the offering of the Securities contemplated hereby.

(c) The Registration Statement conformed, and any amendment to the Registration Statement filed after the date hereof will conform in all material respects when filed, to the requirements of the Act. The most recent Preliminary Prospectus conformed, and the Prospectus will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Act when filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act.

(d) The Registration Statement does not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, that no representation or warranty is made as to information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with the written information furnished to the Company through the Representatives by or on behalf of any Placement Agent specifically for inclusion therein, which shall solely include the twelfth and thirteenth paragraphs concerning stabilization by the Placement Agents under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in any Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus (the “Placement Agents’ Information”).

(e) The Registration Statement is effective under the Act, and no stop order preventing or suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or suspending or preventing the use of any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus has been issued by the Commission and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to the Company’s knowledge, are threatened under the Act. Any required filing of any Preliminary Prospectus and/or the Prospectus and any supplement thereto pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act has been or will be made in the manner and within the time period required by such Rule 424(b). Any material required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act has been or will be made in the manner and within the time period by such rules.

(i) Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (including, without limitation, any road show that is a free writing prospectus under Rule 433 under the Act), when considered together with the Time of Sale Information at the time of sale of the Securities, did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(j) Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conformed or will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Act on the date of first use, and, in reliance upon representations from the Representative, the Company has complied with all prospectus delivery and any filing requirements applicable to such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus pursuant to the Act. The Company has not made any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus without the prior written consent of the Representatives. The Company has retained in accordance with the Act all Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses that were not required to be filed pursuant to the Act. The Company has taken all actions necessary so that any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Act) in connection with the offering of the Securities will not be required to be filed pursuant to the Act.

The certificates for the Securities being sold by the Company are in valid and sufficient form.

(jj)The operations of the Company and its subsidiaries are and have been conducted at all times in compliance in all material respects with applicable financial recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, the “United and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001” (the “Patriot Act”) or the money laundering statutes of all jurisdictions, the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency.

(kk) No labor problem or dispute with the employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries exists, or, to the Company’s knowledge, is threatened or imminent, which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not aware that any key employee or significant group of employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries plans to terminate employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Except for matters which would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has engaged in any unfair labor practice, and (i) there is (A) no unfair labor practice complaint pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company or any of its subsidiaries before the National Labor Relations Board, and no grievance or arbitration proceeding arising out of or under collective bargaining agreements is pending or to the Company’s knowledge, threatened, (B) no strike, labor dispute, slowdown or stoppage pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company or any of its subsidiaries and (C) no union representation dispute currently existing concerning the employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and (ii) to the Company’s knowledge, (A) no union organizing activities are currently taking place concerning the employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and (B) there has been no violation of any federal, state, local or foreign law relating to discrimination in the hiring, promotion or pay of employees, any applicable wage or hour laws or any provision of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder concerning the employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

(ll) Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Company and its subsidiaries (i) are in compliance with any and all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the protection of human health and safety, the environment or hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants (“Environmental Laws”), (ii) have received all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval, except where such noncompliance with Environmental Laws, failure to receive required permits, licenses or other approvals or failure to comply with the terms and conditions of such permits, licenses or other approvals would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has been named as a “potentially responsible party” under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries owns, leases or occupies any property that appears on any list of hazardous sites compiled by any state or local governmental agency. There are no costs or liabilities associated with Environmental Laws (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties) which would, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(mm) Except as otherwise disclosed in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, each of the Company and its subsidiaries owns and has full right, title and interest in and to, or has valid licenses to use, each material trade name, trademark, service mark, patent, copyright, approval, trade secret and other similar rights (collectively “Intellectual Property”) under which the Company and its subsidiaries conduct all or any material part of its business, and the Company has not created any lien or encumbrance on, or granted any right or license with respect to, any such Intellectual Property except where the failure to own or obtain a license or right to use any such Intellectual Property would not have a Material Adverse Effect; there is no material claim pending against the Company or its subsidiaries with respect to any Intellectual Property, and the Company and its subsidiaries have not received notice or otherwise become aware that any Intellectual Property that it uses or has used in the conduct of its business infringes upon or conflicts with the rights of any third party. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has become aware that any material Intellectual Property that it uses or has used in the conduct of its business infringes upon or conflicts with the rights of any third party.

(nn) The Company has procured Lock-Up Agreements, in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto, from each of the individuals set forth on Schedule D.

(oo) To the Company’s knowledge, there are no affiliations or associations between (i) any member of FINRA and (ii) the Company or any of the Company’s officers, directors, 5% or greater security holders or any beneficial owner of the Company’s unregistered equity securities that were acquired at any time on or after the 180th day immediately preceding the date the Registration Statement was initially filed with the Commission, except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information, the Prospectus or the FINRA Questionnaires previously furnished to the Representative.

(pp) The Company and each of its subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which it is engaged; and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a comparable cost.

(qq) The Company and its subsidiaries and any “employee benefit plan” (as defined under ERISA) established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or their “ERISA Affiliates” (as defined below) are in compliance in all material respects with ERISA and all other applicable state and federal laws. “ERISA Affiliate” means, with respect to the Company or a subsidiary, any member of any group or organization described in Sections 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code of which the Company or such subsidiary is a member. No “reportable event” (as defined in ERISA) has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates. No “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates, if such “employee benefit plan” were terminated, would have any “amount of unfunded benefit liabilities” (as defined in ERISA). Neither the Company, its subsidiaries nor any of their ERISA Affiliates has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any “employee benefit plan” or (ii) Sections 412, 4971, 4975 or 4980B of the Code. Each “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, that would cause the loss of such qualification.

9 

(rr) Except as otherwise disclosed in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, each of the Company and its subsidiaries has all registrations, permits, licenses, approvals, consents and authorizations (“Regulatory Permits”) required by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) or any other regulatory authority engaged in the regulation of medical devices such as those being developed by the Company (“Regulatory Authority”). The Company is in material compliance with the requirements of the Regulatory Permits, and all of the Regulatory Permits are valid and in full force and effect; the Company has not received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation, termination, modification or impairment of rights of any of the Regulatory Permits, that, individually or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; the Company has not failed to file with the FDA or any other Regulatory Authority any required application, submission, report, document, or notice, and all such filings were in material compliance with applicable laws when filed and have been supplemented as necessary to remain in material compliance with applicable laws and no material deficiencies have been asserted by the FDA or any other Regulatory Authority with respect to any such filings, in each case, except as otherwise disclosed in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

(ss) The non-clinical studies and, as applicable, clinical trials conducted by the Company, and each of its subsidiaries have been and, if still pending, are being conducted, in all material respects, in accordance with experimental protocols and procedures pursuant to all applicable laws and Regulatory Permits, and the results of such studies and clinical trials described in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus are accurate and fairly present, in all material respects, the data derived from such studies and clinical trials; any studies and clinical trials conducted by the Company, or its subsidiaries, if still pending, are being conducted in all material respects in accordance with applicable professional and scientific standards and the applicable requirements of the FDA and other Regulatory Authorities; neither the Company nor any subsidiary has received any notice or correspondence from the FDA nor any Regulatory Authority requiring the termination, suspension or modification of any such study or clinical trial; and the Company is not aware of any study or clinical trial, the results of which the Company believes reasonably call into question the results described or referred to in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

10 

(b) The Company represents and agrees that, it has not made, and unless it obtains the prior consent of the Representative, it will not make, any offer relating to the Units that would constitute a “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations (each, a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus”); provided that the prior written consent of the Representative hereto shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus(es) included in Schedule A hereto. The Company represents that it has treated and agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, comply with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 of the Rules and Regulations applicable to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including the requirements relating to timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping and will not take any action that would result in the Placement Agents or the Company being required to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Rules and Regulations a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Placement Agent that such Placement Agent otherwise would not have been required to file thereunder.

(c) If at any time when a Prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any event occurs or condition exists as a result of which the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or the Registration Statement, as then amended or supplemented, would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or if for any other reason it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement any Registration Statement or the Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, the Company will promptly notify the Representative, and upon the Representative’s request, the Company will promptly prepare and file with the Commission, at the Company’s expense, an amendment to the Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus that corrects such statement or omission or effects such compliance and will deliver to the Placement Agents, without charge, such number of copies thereof as the Placement Agents may reasonably request. The Company consents to the use of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by the Placement Agents.

(d) If the Time of Sale Information is being used to solicit offers to buy the Securities at a time when the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers and any event shall occur as a result of which, in the judgment of the Company or in the reasonable opinion of the Representative, it becomes necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Information in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or to make the statements therein not conflict with the information contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement then on file and not superseded or modified, or if it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Information to comply with any law, the Company promptly will either (i) prepare, file with the Commission (if required) and furnish to the Placement Agents and any dealers an appropriate amendment or supplement to the Time of Sale Information or (ii) prepare and file with the Commission an appropriate filing under the Exchange Act which shall be incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Information so that the Time of Sale Information as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, be misleading or conflict with the Registration Statement then on file, or so that the Time of Sale Information will comply with law.

(e) If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, including any document incorporated by reference therein and any prospectus supplement deemed to be a part thereof and not superseded or modified or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Company has promptly notified or will promptly notify the Representative so that any use of the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus may cease until it is amended or supplemented and has promptly amended or will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission. The foregoing sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to the Company by the Representative by or on behalf of the Placement Agents specifically for inclusion therein, which information the parties hereto agree is limited to the Placement Agents’ Information (as defined in Section 3(d)).

In the event that the qualification of the Securities in any jurisdiction is suspended, the Company shall so advise you promptly in writing. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to qualify or register the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares for sale in non-issuer transactions under (or obtain exemptions from the application of) the Blue Sky laws of each state where necessary to permit market making transactions and secondary trading and will comply with such Blue Sky laws and will continue such qualifications, registrations and exemptions in effect until the earlier of such time as the Common Stock is listed or quoted, as the case may be, on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market, or three (3) years from the date hereof, provided that if the Company obtains and keeps current a listing of its Common Stock in the Standard & Poor’s Corporation Records Services or Mergent’s Industrial Manual it shall be deemed to have satisfied such requirement, except that Mergent’s OTC Industrial Manual is not sufficient for these purposes. Unless the Common Stock is listed or quoted, as the case may be, on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market, the Company shall at the beginning of each fiscal quarter, provide you with a written report detailing those states in which the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares may be traded in non-issuer transactions under the Blue Sky laws of the fifty States for a period of three (3) years after the date hereof.

7. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.

Subject to the limitations in this paragraph below, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless you and each other Placement Agent, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Placement Agent, and each person, if any, who controls any Placement Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Placement Agent Indemnified Parties,” and each a “Placement Agent Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable costs of investigation and attorneys’ fees and expenses (collectively, “Damages”) arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, except to the extent that any such Damages arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that has been made therein or omitted therefrom in reliance upon and in conformity with the Placement Agents’ Information or (ii) any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein or any failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder or under law; provided, however, that with respect to any untrue statement or omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph shall not inure to the benefit of any Placement Agent (or to the benefit of any person controlling such Placement Agent or to any officer, director, employee or agent of any Placement Agent) if both (A) such Placement Agent failed to deliver a copy of the Time of Sale Information to the person asserting such Damages at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Securities to such person as required by the Act and (B) the untrue statement or omission in the Preliminary Prospectus was corrected in the Time of Sale Information. This indemnification shall be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have.

If any action or claim shall be brought against any Placement Agent or any person controlling any Placement Agent in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company, such Placement Agent or such controlling person shall promptly notify in writing the party(s) against whom indemnification is being sought (the “indemnifying party” or “indemnifying parties”), and such indemnifying party(s) shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably acceptable to such Placement Agent or such controlling person and the payment of all reasonable fees of and expenses incurred by such counsel. Such Placement Agent or any such controlling person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Placement Agent or such controlling person, unless (i) the indemnifying party(s) has (have) agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the indemnifying party(s) has (have) failed to assume the defense and employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Placement Agent or such controlling person or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both such Placement Agent or such controlling person and the indemnifying party(s), and such Placement Agent or such controlling person shall have been advised by its counsel that one or more legal defenses may be available to the Placement Agent that may not be available to the Company, or that representation of such indemnified party and any indemnifying party(s) by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct (whether or not such representation by the same counsel has been proposed) due to actual or potential differing interests between them (in which case the indemnifying party(s) shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such Placement Agent or such controlling person (but the Company shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for the Placement Agents and such controlling persons)). The indemnifying party(s) shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its (their several) written consent, but if settled with such written consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party(s) agree(s) to indemnify and hold harmless any Placement Agent and any such controlling person from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment, but in the case of a judgment only to the extent stated in the first paragraph of this Section 7.

16 

Each Placement Agent agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties,” and each a “Company Indemnified Party”), to the same extent as the foregoing several indemnity from the Company to each Placement Agent, but only with respect to information furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Placement Agent through you expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Preliminary Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto. If any action or claim shall be brought or asserted against the Company, any of its directors, any of its officers or any such controlling person based on the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information or any Preliminary Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, and in respect of which indemnity may be sought against any Placement Agent pursuant to this paragraph, such Placement Agent shall have the rights and duties given to the Company by the immediately preceding paragraph (except that if the Company shall have assumed the defense thereof such Placement Agent shall not be required to do so, but may employ separate counsel therein and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at such Placement Agent’s expense), and the Company, its directors, any such officers and any such controlling persons, shall have the rights and duties given to the Placement Agents by the immediately preceding paragraph.

In any event, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Representative, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any proceeding or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Representative or any person who controls the Representative within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act is a party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of all Placement Agents and such controlling persons from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable or insufficient for any reason whatsoever to an indemnified party in respect of any Damages referred to herein, then an indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Damages (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand, and the Placement Agents on the other hand, from the offering and sale of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative and several fault of the Company on the one hand, and the Placement Agents on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Damages as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative and several benefits received by the Company on the one hand, and the Placement Agents on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total fees and commissions received by the Placement Agents, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand, and the Placement Agents on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand, or by the Placement Agents on the other hand and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

17 

The Company and the Placement Agents agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 was determined by a pro rata allocation (even if the Placement Agents were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Damages referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall any indemnity by any Placement Agent under this Section 7 exceed the total fees and commission received by such Placement Agent in connection with the Offering. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Any Damages for which an indemnified party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Section 7 shall be paid by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party as Damages are incurred after receipt of reasonably itemized invoices therefor. The indemnity, contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 7 and the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Placement Agent or any person controlling any Placement Agent, the Company, its directors or officers or any person controlling the Company, (ii) acceptance of any Securities and payment therefor hereunder and (iii) any termination of this Agreement. A successor to any Placement Agent or any person controlling any Placement Agent, or to the Company, its directors or officers or any person controlling the Company, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity, contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 7.

8. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in your absolute discretion, without liability on the part of any Placement Agent to the Company, by notice to the Company, if prior to the Closing Date, in your sole judgment, (i) trading in the Company’s Common Stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or quotation of the Company’s Common Stock shall have been suspended by the OTCBB, (ii) quotation in securities generally on the OTCBB or trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market shall have been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on such quotations service or exchange, or additional material governmental restrictions, not in force on the date of this Agreement, shall have been imposed upon trading in securities generally by any such exchange or the OTCBB or by order of the Commission or any court or other governmental authority, (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by either federal or New York State authorities or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other international or domestic calamity, crisis or change in political, financial or economic conditions or other material event the effect of which on the financial markets of the United States is such as to make it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities. Notice of such cancellation shall be promptly given to the Company and its counsel by telegraph, telecopy or telephone and shall be subsequently confirmed by letter.

9. REIMBURSEMENT OF PLACEMENT AGENTS’ EXPENSES. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if (a) this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 8, (b) the Company shall fail to tender the Units for delivery to the Purchasers for any reason not permitted under this Agreement, (c) the Purchasers shall decline to purchase the Units for any reason permitted under the Securities Purchase Agreement or (d) the sale of the Units is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Placement Agents set forth herein is not satisfied or because of the refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or to satisfy any condition or to comply with the provisions hereof, then, in addition to the payment of out-of-pocket expenses in accordance with Section 5, the Company shall reimburse the Placement Agents for the fees and expenses of the Placement Agents’ counsel and for such other accountable out-of-pocket expenses as shall have been reasonably incurred by them in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Securities, and upon demand the Company shall pay the full amount thereof to the Representative on behalf of the Placement Agents.

10. ABSENCE OF FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP. The Company acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) Each Placement Agent’s responsibility to the Company is solely contractual in nature, each Placement Agent has been retained solely to act as an Placement Agent in connection with the Offering and no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Company and such Placement Agent has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, irrespective of whether Ladenburg or Trout has advised or is advising the Company on other matters;

18 

(b) the price of the Units set forth in this Agreement was established by the Company following discussions and arms-length negotiations with the Representative, and the Company is capable of evaluating and understanding, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(c) it has been advised that Ladenburg and Trout, and each of their affiliates, are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ from those of the Company and that the Placement Agents have no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Company by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and

(d) it waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against the Placement Agents for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that the Placement Agents shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Company in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Company, including stockholders, employees or creditors of the Company.

11. SUCCESSORS; PERSONS ENTITLED TO BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the several Placement Agents, the Company, and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the determination as to whether any condition in Section 6 hereof shall have been satisfied, and the waiver of any condition in Section 6 hereof, may be made by the Representative in its sole discretion, and any such determination or waiver shall be binding on each of the Placement Agents and shall not require the consent of any Placement Agent. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, other than the persons mentioned in the preceding sentences, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement, or any provisions herein contained, this Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof being intended to be and being for the sole and exclusive benefit of such persons and for the benefit of no other person; except that the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and indemnities of the Company contained in this Agreement shall also be for the benefit of the Placement Agent Indemnified Parties and the several indemnities of the Placement Agents shall be for the benefit of the Company Indemnified Parties. It is understood that each Placement Agent’s responsibility to the Company is solely contractual in nature and the Placement Agents do not owe the Company, or any other party, any fiduciary duty as a result of this Agreement.

12. SURVIVAL OF INDEMNITIES, REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, ETC. The respective indemnities, covenants, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the several Placement Agents, as set forth in this Agreement or made by them respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Placement Agent, the Company or any person controlling any of them and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, including without limitation any termination pursuant to Section 8, the payment obligations contained in Section 5, the indemnity and contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in Sections 7 and 9 and the covenants, representations, warranties set forth in this Agreement shall not terminate and shall remain in full force and effect at all times.

Re: Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc. (the "Company”) - Restriction on Stock Sales

Dear Sirs:

This letter is delivered to you pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) to be entered into by the Company, as issuer, and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., the representative (the “Representative”) of certain placement agents (the “Placement Agents”) to be named therein. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Placement Agency Agreement, the Placement Agents intend to effect a public offering of units (the “Units”) each consisting of one share of Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company and a warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, as described in and contemplated by the registration statement of the Company on Form S-3, File No. 333-205168 (the “Registration Statement”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 23, 2015 (the “Offering”).

The undersigned recognizes that it is in the best financial interests of the undersigned, as an officer or director, or an owner of stock, options, warrants or other securities of the Company (the “Company Securities”), that the Company complete the proposed Offering.

The undersigned further recognizes that the Company Securities held by the undersigned are, or may be, subject to certain restrictions on transferability, including those imposed by United States federal securities laws. Notwithstanding these restrictions, the undersigned has agreed to enter into this letter agreement to further assure the Placement Agents that the Company Securities of the undersigned, now held or hereafter acquired, will not enter the public market at a time that might impair the placement effort.

 28

Therefore, as an inducement to the Placement Agents to execute the Placement Agent Agreement, the undersigned hereby acknowledges and agrees that the undersigned will not (i) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of (collectively, a “Disposition”) any Company Securities, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or any rights to purchase or otherwise acquire, any Company Securities held by the undersigned or acquired by the undersigned after the date hereof, or that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned (collectively, the “Lock-Up Shares”), pursuant to the Rules and Regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for a period commencing on the date hereof and ending 90 days after the date of the Company’s Prospectus for the Offering first filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, inclusive (the “Lock-Up Period”), without the prior written consent of Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. or (ii) exercise or seek to exercise or effectuate in any manner any rights of any nature that the undersigned has or may have hereafter to require the Company to register under the Act the undersigned’s sale, transfer or other disposition of any of the Lock-Up Shares or other securities of the Company held by the undersigned, or to otherwise participate as a selling securityholder in any manner in any registration effected by the Company under the Act, including under the Registration Statement, during the Lock-Up Period. The foregoing restrictions are expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any hedging, collar (whether or not for any consideration) or other transaction that is designed to or reasonably expected to lead or result in a Disposition of Lock-Up Shares during the Lock-Up Period, even if such Lock-Up Shares would be disposed of by someone other than such holder. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including any put or call option or reversal or cancellation thereof) with respect to any Lock-Up Shares or with respect to any security (other than a broad-based market basket or index) that includes, relates to or derives any significant part of its value from Lock-Up Shares.

Notwithstanding the agreement not to make any Disposition during the Lock-Up Period, you have agreed that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to:

(1) the Company Securities being offered in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement;

(2) any grant or exercise of options pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan;

(3) the exercise of currently outstanding warrants to purchase Company Securities;

(4)	any transaction relating to Company Securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Offering;
(5)	any transfer of Company Securities as a bona fide gift;

(6) any transfer of Company Securities to a trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or one or more members of the undersigned’s immediate family (which for purposes of this lock-up agreement shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin); or

(7) any transfer of Company Securities by will or intestate succession upon the death of the undersigned;

provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (5), (6), or (7), each donee, trustee distributee, or other transferee, as the case may be, shall sign and deliver a lock-up letter substantially in the form of this letter for the balance of the Lock-up Period.

 29

In addition, the undersigned hereby waives, from the date hereof until the expiration of the Lock-up Period, any and all rights, if any, to request or demand registration pursuant to the Act, of any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock that are registered in the name of the undersigned or that are Lock-Up Shares. In order to enable the aforesaid covenants to be enforced, the undersigned hereby authorizes the Company, and any duly appointed transfer agent for the registration or transfer of the shares of Common Stock, securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or Lock-Up Shares, to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this letter agreement.

It is understood that, if the Placement Agent Agreement (other than the provisions thereof that survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Units, this letter agreement shall automatically terminate.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Placement Agent Agreement.

[Rest of page intentionally left blank.]

 30

This letter shall be binding on the undersigned and the respective successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns of the undersigned.

Very truly yours,

Signature of Securityholder
