Item 1.01 Entr y into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 3, 2024, SunHydrogen, Inc. (the “Company”) entered
into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with GHS Investments, LLC (“GHS”). Under the Purchase Agreement,
the Company may sell, in its discretion (subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement) up to an aggregate of $50,000,000
of common stock to GHS.
The Company has the right, in its sole discretion, subject to the conditions
and limitations in the Purchase Agreement, to direct GHS, by delivery of a purchase notice from time to time (a “Purchase Notice”)
to purchase (each, a “Purchase”) over the two-year term of the Purchase Agreement, a minimum of $100,000 and up to a maximum
of $2,000,000 (the “Purchase Amount”) of shares of common stock (the “Purchase Shares”) for each Purchase Notice,
provided that the parties may agree to waive such $2,000,000 limitation. The number of Purchase Shares the Company will issue under each
Purchase will be equal to 112.5% of the Purchase Amount sold under such Purchase, divided by the Purchase Price per share (as defined
under the Purchase Agreement). The “Purchase Price” is defined as 90% of the lowest end-of-day volume weighted average price
of the common stock for the five consecutive business days immediately preceding the purchase date, including the purchase date.
The Purchase Agreement prohibits the Company from directing GHS to
purchase any shares of common stock if those shares, when aggregated with all other shares of the Company’s common stock then beneficially
owned by GHS and its affiliates, would result in GHS and its affiliates having beneficial ownership, at any single point in time, of more
than 4.99% of the then total outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.
There are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the
Purchase Agreement. The Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of its common stock to GHS. The Company may not deliver
more than one Purchase Notice to GHS every five business days, except as the parties may otherwise agree. The Company may at any time
in its sole discretion terminate the Purchase Agreement.
If an event of default (as defined under the Purchase Agreement) (all
of which are outside the control of GHS) occurs and is continuing, the Company may not deliver to GHS any Purchase Notice.
The Company will pay a fee of 2% of the gross proceeds the Company
receives from sales of common stock under the Purchase Agreement, to Icon Capital Group, LLC (“Icon”) pursuant to a placement
agent agreement between the Company and Icon (the “Placement Agent Agreement”).
The shares were offered, and will be issued, pursuant to the Prospectus
Supplement, dated June 3, 2024 to the Prospectus included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No.
333-276678) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 24, 2024.
GHS was also the purchaser under securities purchase agreements with
the Company dated September 21, 2020, February 24, 2021 and November 17, 2022.
Sichenzia Ross Ference Carmel LLP, counsel to the Company, has issued
an opinion to the Company regarding the validity of the securities to be issued in the offering. A copy of the opinion is filed as Exhibit
5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement and Placement
Agent Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, attached hereto and incorporated
herein by reference.

obligation to purchase from the Company, Purchase Shares as follows:
(a)
Sales of Common Stock. Subject to the satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in Sections 6 and 7 hereof (the “Commencement”
and the date of satisfaction of such conditions the “Commencement Date”), at any time commencing on the Commencement
Date and thereafter, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to direct the Investor, by its delivery to the Investor
of a Purchase Notice from time to time, to purchase a minimum of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) and up to a maximum of two million
dollars ($2,000,000) of Purchase Shares (the number of Purchase Shares being determined in accordance with Section 2(b) hereunder) for
each Purchase Notice (subject to the Available Amount), at the Purchase Price on the Purchase Date (each, a “Purchase”).
Each Purchase Notice will set forth the Purchase Price and number of Purchase Shares, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
If the Company delivers any Purchase Notice for a Purchase Amount in excess of the limitations contained herein, such Purchase Notice
shall be void ab initio to the extent of the amount by which the amount of Purchase Shares set forth in such Purchase Notice exceeds
the amount of Purchase Shares which the Company is permitted to include in such Purchase Notice in accordance herewith, and the Investor
shall have no obligation to purchase such excess Purchase Shares in respect of such Purchase Notice; provided, however,
that the Investor shall remain obligated to purchase the amount of Purchase Shares which the Company is permitted to include in such
Purchase Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing dollar limitations, the Company and the Investor may, from time to time, mutually agree
(in writing) to waive the aforementioned limitations for a relevant Purchase Notice, which waiver, for the avoidance of doubt, shall
not exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein. The Company may not deliver more than one Purchase Notice to the Investor
every five (5) Business Days unless, from time to time, the Company and the Investor mutually agree to different timing of the delivery
Purchase Notices.
(b)
Settlement for Purchase Shares. On each Settlement Date, for each Purchase hereunder, the Company shall deliver a number of Purchase
Shares equal to 112.5% of the aggregate Purchase Amount for such Purchase divided by the Purchase Price per share for such Purchase,
against payment by the Investor to the Company of the Purchase Amount with respect to such Purchase (less documented deposit and clearing
fees, if any), as full payment for such Purchase Shares via wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Company shall not issue
any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon the any Purchase. If any issuance hereunder would result in the issuance of a fraction of
a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up or down to the nearest whole share. All
Purchase Shares issued hereunder will be DWAC Shares. All payments made under this Agreement shall be made in lawful money of the United
States of America by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the Company may from time to time designate by written
notice in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Agreement is
due on any day that is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day.
(c)
Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not issue
or sell, and the Investor shall not purchase or acquire, any shares of Common Stock under this Agreement which, when aggregated with
all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Investor and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d)
of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor and its affiliates
of more than 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”).
Upon the written or oral request of the Investor, the Company shall promptly (but not later than one Business Day) confirm orally or
in writing to the Investor the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. The Investor and the Company shall each cooperate in
good faith in the determinations required hereby and the application hereof. The Investor’s written certification to the Company
of the applicability of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the resulting effect thereof hereunder at any time, shall be conclusive
with respect to the applicability thereof and such result absent manifest error.

to the Investor copies of any notices it receives from any Person regarding the continued eligibility of the Common Stock for listing
on the Principal Market; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to provide the Investor copies of any such notice

such notice in any report or statement filed with the SEC and under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act. The Company shall pay all

not in any manner whatsoever enter into or effect, directly or indirectly, any (i) “short sale” (as such term is defined
in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO of the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock or (ii) hedging transaction, which establishes a net short position
with respect to the Common Stock.
(d)
Purchase Records. The Investor and the Company shall each maintain records showing the remaining Available Amount at any given
time and the dates and Purchase Amounts for each Purchase or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Investor and
the Company.

Company.

and warranties and covenants of the Company and the Investor contained in Sections 3, 4, and 5 (excluding Section 5(b)
and 5(c), hereof, and the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 8, 9 and 10 shall survive the execution
and delivery of this Agreement and any termination of this Agreement. No termination of this Agreement shall (i) affect the Company’s
or the Investor’s rights or obligations under (A) this Agreement with respect to any pending Purchases, and the Company and the
Investor shall complete their respective obligations with respect to any pending Purchases under this Agreement or (ii) be deemed to

Attention: Timothy Young
Dear Mr. Young:
This letter (the
“Agreement”) constitutes the agreement between Icon Capital Group, LLC a Texas limited liability company
(“ICG” or the “Placement Agent”) and SunHydrogen, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the
“Company”), who hereby agrees to sell up to an aggregate of fifty million dollars ($50,000,000.00) of securities
of the Company, including, (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the
“Common Stock” or the “Securities”) directly to an investor (the “Investor”)
through the Placement Agent, on a “reasonable best efforts” basis, in connection with the proposed placement (the
“Placement”) of the Securities. The terms of the Placement and the Securities shall be mutually agreed upon by
the Company and the purchaser (the “Purchaser”) and nothing herein constitutes that the Placement Agent would
have the power or authority to bind the Company or any Purchaser or an obligation for the Company to issue any Securities or
complete the Placement. This Agreement and the documents executed and delivered by the Company and the Purchaser in connection with
the Placement, including but not limited to the Purchase Agreement (as defined below), shall be collectively referred to herein as
the “Transaction Documents.” The date of the closing of the Placement shall be referred to herein as the
“Closing Date.” The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agent’s obligations
hereunder are on a reasonable best-efforts basis only and that the execution of this Agreement does not constitute a commitment by
the Placement Agent to purchase the Securities and does not ensure the successful placement of the Securities or any portion thereof
or the success of the Placement Agent with respect to securing any other financing on behalf of the Company. Following the prior
written consent of the Company, the Placement Agent may retain other brokers or dealers to act as sub-agents or selected-dealers on
its behalf in connection with the Placement. The sale of the Securities to any Purchaser will be evidenced by a purchase agreement
(the “Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and such Purchaser in a form mutually agreed upon by the Company
and the Purchaser. Capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase
Agreement.
SECTION 1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
OF THE COMPANY; COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
A. Representations
of the Company. Each of the representations and warranties (together with any related disclosure schedules thereto) and covenants
made by the Company to the Purchaser in the Purchase Agreement in connection with the Placement is hereby incorporated herein by reference
into this Agreement (as though fully restated herein) and is, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, hereby made
to, and in favor of, the Placement Agent. In addition to the foregoing, the Company represents and warrants that:
1. The
Company has prepared and filed with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-276678), and amendments
thereto, and related preliminary prospectuses, for the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), of the applicable Securities, which registration statement, as so amended (including post-effective amendments, if any)
became effective on February 1, 2024. At the time of such filing, the Company met the requirements of Form S-3 under the Securities Act.
Such registration statement meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x) under the Securities Act and complies with said Rule.
The Company will file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations (the “Rules
and Regulations”) of the Commission promulgated thereunder, a supplement to the form of prospectus included in such registration
statement relating to the placement of the Shares and the plan of distribution thereof and has advised the Placement Agent of all further
information (financial and other) with respect to the Company required to be set forth therein. Such registration statement, including
the exhibits thereto, as amended at the date of this Agreement, is hereinafter called the “Registration Statement”;
such prospectus in the form in which it appears in the Registration Statement is hereinafter called the “Base Prospectus”;
and the supplemented form of prospectus, in the form in which it will be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (including
the Base Prospectus as so supplemented) is hereinafter called the “Prospectus Supplement.” Any reference in this Agreement
to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents
incorporated by reference therein (the “Incorporated Documents”) pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 which were filed under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on or before the date of this Agreement, or the
issue date of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be; and any reference in this Agreement to the terms “amend,”
“amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus
Supplement shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the date of this Agreement,
or the issue date of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference.
All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included,”
“described,” “referenced,” “set forth” or “stated” in the Registration Statement, the
Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement (and all other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial
statements and schedules and other information which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the
Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
or the use of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement has been issued, and no proceeding for any such purpose is pending or has
been initiated or, to the Company’s knowledge, is threatened by the Commission.
2. The
Registration Statement (and any further documents to be filed with the Commission) contains all exhibits and schedules as required
by the Securities Act. Each of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, at the time it became effective,
complied in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations and did not
and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will not, contain any 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. The Base Prospectus and the
Prospectus Supplement, each as of its respective date, comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
and the applicable Rules and Regulations. Each of the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, as amended or supplemented, did
not and will not contain as of the date thereof any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The
Incorporated Documents, when they were filed with the Commission, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the
Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations, and none of such documents, when they were filed with the Commission,
contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (with
respect to Incorporated Documents incorporated by reference in the Base Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement), in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made not misleading; and any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference in the
Base Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement, when such documents are filed with the Commission, will conform in all material respects
to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations, as applicable, and will not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No post- effective amendment to the Registration Statement reflecting any
facts or events arising after the date thereof which represent, individually or in the aggregate, a fundamental change in the
information set forth therein is required to be filed with the Commission. Except for this Agreement, there are no documents
required to be filed with the Commission in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby that (x) have not been filed as
required pursuant to the Securities Act or (y) will not be filed within the requisite time period. Except for this Agreement, there
are no contracts or other documents required to be described in the Base Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement, or to be filed as
exhibits or schedules to the Registration Statement, which (x) have not been described or filed as required or (y) will not be filed
within the requisite time period.
3. Reserved.
4. There
are no affiliations with any FINRA member firm among the Company’s officers, directors or, to the knowledge of the Company, any ten percent
(10.0%) or greater stockholder of the Company, except as set forth in the Registration Statement and SEC Reports.
5. The Company has
the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of each of this Agreement by the Company
and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and under the Base Prospectus have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company, the Company’s
Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) or the Company’s stockholders in connection therewith. This
Agreement has been duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid
and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general
equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application
affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific
performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be
limited by applicable law.
6. The
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated pursuant to the Time of Sale Disclosure
Prospectus, the issuance and sale of the Shares and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby to which
it is a party do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s or any subsidiary’s certificate
or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or
an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, result in the creation of any lien upon any of the properties
or assets of the Company or any subsidiary, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with
or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company or subsidiary
debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company or any subsidiary is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company
or any subsidiary is bound or affected, or (iii) conflict with or result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment,
injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company or a subsidiary is subject (including
federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company or a subsidiary is bound or affected;
except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse
effect.
7. Any
certificate signed by an officer of the Company and delivered to the Placement Agent or to counsel for the Placement Agent shall be deemed
to be a representation and warranty by the Company to the Placement Agent as to the matters set forth therein.
8. The
Company acknowledges that the Placement Agent will rely upon the accuracy and truthfulness of the foregoing representations and warranties
and hereby consents to such reliance.
9. No
forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act) contained in
the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement has been made or reaffirmed without a reasonable basis or has been disclosed other than
in good faith.
10. Each
of the representations and warranties (together with any related disclosure schedules thereto) made to the Investors in the Purchase Agreements
is hereby incorporated herein by reference (as though fully restated herein) and is hereby made to, and in favor of, the Placement Agent.
B. Covenants
and Agreements of the Company. The Company further covenants and agrees with the Placement Agent as follows:
1. Registration
Statement Matters. The Company will advise the Placement Agent promptly after it receives notice thereof of the time when any
amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed or becomes effective or any supplement to the Base Prospectus or the Final
Prospectus has been filed and will furnish the Placement Agent with copies thereof. The Company will file promptly all reports and
any definitive proxy or information statements required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 14
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date of any Prospectus and for so long as the delivery of a prospectus is required in
connection with the Offering. The Company will advise the Placement Agent, promptly after it receives notice thereof (i) of any
request by the Commission to amend the Registration Statement or to amend or supplement any Prospectus or for additional
information, and (ii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
or any post-effective amendment thereto or any order directed at any Incorporated Document, if any, or any amendment or supplement
thereto or any order preventing or suspending the use of the Base Prospectus or the Final Prospectus or any prospectus supplement or
any amendment or supplement thereto or any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, of the suspension of the
qualification of the Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the institution or threatened institution of any proceeding
for any such purpose, or of any request by the Commission for the amending or supplementing of the Registration Statement or a
Prospectus or for additional information. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop
order or prevention or suspension of such use. If the Commission shall enter any such stop order or order or notice of prevention or
suspension at any time, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the lifting of such order at the earliest
possible moment, or will file a new registration statement and use its reasonable best efforts to have such new registration
statement declared effective as soon as practicable. Additionally, the Company agrees that it shall comply with the provisions of
Rules 424(b), 430A, 430B and 430C, as applicable, under the Securities Act, including with respect to the timely filing of documents
thereunder, and will use its reasonable efforts to confirm that any filings made by the Company under such Rule 424(b) are received
in a timely manner by the Commission.
2. Blue
Sky Compliance. The Company will cooperate with the Placement Agent and the Investors in endeavoring to qualify the Shares for sale
under the securities laws of such jurisdictions (United States and foreign) as the Placement Agent and the Investor may reasonably request
and will make such applications, file such documents, and furnish such information as may be reasonably required for that purpose, provided
the Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction
where it is not now so qualified or required to file such a consent, and provided further that the Company shall not be required to produce
any new disclosure document. The Company will, from time to time, prepare and file such statements, reports and other documents as are
or may be required to continue such qualifications in effect for so long a period as the Placement Agent may reasonably request for distribution
of the Shares. The Company will advise the Placement Agent promptly of the suspension of the qualification or registration of (or any
such exemption relating to) the Shares for offering, sale or trading in any jurisdiction or any initiation or threat of any proceeding
for any such purpose, and in the event of the issuance of any order suspending such qualification, registration or exemption, the Company
shall use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal thereof at the earliest possible moment.
3. Amendments
and Supplements to a Prospectus and Other Matters. The Company will comply with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and the
rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Shares as contemplated
in this Agreement, the Incorporated Documents and any Prospectus. If during the period in which a prospectus is required by law to
be delivered in connection with the distribution of Shares contemplated by the Incorporated Documents or any Prospectus (the
“Prospectus Delivery Period”), any event shall occur as a result of which, in the judgment of the Company or in the
opinion of the Placement Agent or counsel for the Placement Agent, it becomes necessary to amend or supplement the Incorporated
Documents or any Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
as the case may be, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Incorporated Documents or any
Prospectus or to file under the Exchange Act any Incorporated Document to comply with any law, the Company will promptly prepare and
file with the Commission, and furnish at its own expense to the Placement Agent and to dealers, an appropriate amendment to the
Registration Statement or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Incorporated Documents or any Prospectus that is necessary
in order to make the statements in the Incorporated Documents and any Prospectus as so amended or supplemented, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, as the case may be, not misleading, or so that the Registration Statement, the
Incorporated Documents or any Prospectus, as so amended or supplemented, will comply with law. Before amending the Registration
Statement or supplementing the Incorporated Documents or any Prospectus in connection with the Offering, the Company will furnish
the Placement Agent with a copy of such proposed amendment or supplement and will not file any such amendment or supplement to which
the Placement Agent reasonably objects.
4. Copies
of any Amendments and Supplements to a Prospectus. The Company will furnish the Placement Agent, without charge, during the period
beginning on the date hereof and ending on the later of the last Closing Date of the Offering, as many copies of any Prospectus or prospectus
supplement and any amendments and supplements thereto, as the Placement Agent may reasonably request.
5. Transfer
Agent. The Company will maintain, at its expense, a registrar and transfer agent for the Common Stock.
6. Periodic
Reporting Obligations. During the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Company will duly file, on a timely basis, with the Commission all
reports and documents required to be filed under the Exchange Act within the time periods and in the manner required by the Exchange Act.
7. Additional
Documents. The Company will enter into any subscription, purchase or other customary agreements as the Placement Agent or the Investor
deem necessary or appropriate to consummate the Offering, all of which will be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Placement
Agent and the Investor. The Company agrees that the Placement Agent may rely upon, and each is a third- party beneficiary of, the representations
and warranties, and applicable covenants, set forth in any such purchase, subscription or other agreement with Investor in the Offering.
8. No
Manipulation of Price. The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or result in, or that has constituted
or might reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any securities of the Company.
9. Acknowledgment.
The Company acknowledges that any advice given by the Placement Agent to the Company is solely for the benefit and use of the Board of
Directors of the Company and may not be used, reproduced, disseminated, quoted or referred to, without the Placement Agent’s prior written
consent.
10. Announcement
of Offering. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agent may, subsequent to the Closing, make public its involvement
with the Offering.
11. Reliance
on Others. The Company confirms that it will rely on its own counsel and accountants for legal and accounting advice.
SECTION 2. REPRESENTATIONS OF THE PLACEMENT
AGENT. The Placement Agent represents and warrants that it (i) is a member in good standing of FINRA, (ii) is registered as a
broker/dealer under the Exchange Act, (iii) is licensed as a broker/dealer under the laws of the States applicable to the offers and
sales of the Securities by the Placement Agent, (iv) is and will be a corporate entity validly existing under the laws of its place
of incorporation or formation, and (v) has full power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement.
The Placement Agent will immediately notify the Company in writing of any change in its status as such. The Placement Agent
covenants that it will use its reasonable best efforts to conduct the Placement hereunder in compliance with the provisions of this
Agreement and the requirements of applicable law.
SECTION 3.
COMPENSATION. In consideration of the services to be provided for hereunder, the Company shall pay to the Placement Agent or its
respective designees the following compensation with respect to the Securities which they are placing:
| A. | A cash fee (the “Cash Fee”) equal to an aggregate of two percent (2%) of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the Placement. |
| B. | Payment shall accrue and be paid monthly in arrears of the execution of the securities purchase agreement by the 10th day
of the month |
| D. | The Placement Agent reserves the right to reduce any item of its compensation or adjust the terms thereof
as specified herein in the event that a determination shall be made by FINRA to the effect that the Placement Agent’s aggregate
compensation is in excess of FINRA Rules or that the terms thereof require adjustment. |
SECTION 4.
INDEMNIFICATION. The Company agrees to the indemnification and other agreements set forth in the Indemnification Provisions (the
“Indemnification”) attached hereto as Addendum A, the provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference
and shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

the Placement and (ii) the date a party terminates the engagement according to the terms of the next sentence (such date, the “Termination

The engagement may be terminated at any time by either party upon five (5) days written notice to the other party, effective upon receipt

the Company’s obligation to pay any fees actually earned pursuant to Section 3 hereof and the provisions concerning confidentiality,
indemnification and contribution contained herein and the Company’s obligations contained in the Indemnification Provisions will
survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the completion of the Placement, all
fees due to the Placement Agent shall be paid by the Company to the Placement Agent on or before the Termination Date (in the event such
fees are earned or owed as of the Termination Date). The Placement Agent agrees not to use any confidential information concerning the
Company provided to the Placement Agent by the Company for any purposes other than those contemplated under this Agreement.
SECTION 6.
PLACEMENT AGENT INFORMATION. The Company agrees that any information or advice rendered by the Placement Agent in connection with
this engagement is for the confidential use of the Company only in their evaluation of the Placement and, except as otherwise required
by law, the Company will not disclose or otherwise refer to the advice or information in any manner without the Placement Agent’s
prior written consent.
SECTION 7.
NO FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP. This Agreement does not create and shall not be construed as creating rights enforceable by any person
or entity not a party hereto, except those entitled hereto by virtue of the Indemnification Provisions hereof. The Company acknowledges
and agrees that the Placement Agent is not and shall not be construed as a fiduciary of the Company and shall have no duties or liabilities
to the equity holders or the creditors of the Company or any other person by virtue of this Agreement or the retention of the Placement
Agent hereunder, all of which are hereby expressly waived.
SECTION 8.
CLOSING. The obligations of the Placement Agent, and the closing of the sale of the Securities hereunder are subject to the accuracy,
when made and on the Closing Date, of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company contained herein and in the Purchase
Agreement, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company made in any certificates pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance
by the Company of their obligations hereunder, and to each of the following additional terms and conditions, except as otherwise disclosed
to and acknowledged and waived by the Placement Agent by the Company:
A. No
stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall
have been initiated or threatened by the Commission, and any request for additional information on the part of the Commission (to be included
in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or otherwise) shall have been complied with to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Placement Agent. Any filings required to be made by the Company in connection with the Placement shall have been timely
filed with the Commission.
B. The
Placement Agent shall not have discovered and disclosed to the Company on or prior to the Closing Date that the Registration Statement,
the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or any amendment or supplement thereto contains an untrue statement of a fact which, in
the opinion of counsel for the Placement Agent, is material or omits to state any fact which, in the opinion of such counsel, is material
and is required to be stated therein or is necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
C. All
corporate proceedings and other legal matters incident to the authorization, form, execution, delivery and validity of each of this Agreement,
the Securities, the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement and all other legal matters relating to
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be reasonably satisfactory in all material respects to counsel for ICG,
and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel all documents and information that they may reasonably request to enable them to
pass upon such matters.
D. [Reserved.]
E. [Reserved.]
F. [Reserved.]
G. The
Company (i) shall not have sustained since the date of the latest audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in
the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, any loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion,

order or decree, otherwise than as set forth in or contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus
Supplement, and (ii) since the date of the latest audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration

financial position, stockholders’ equity, results of operations or prospects of the Company, otherwise than as set forth in or contemplated
by the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, the effect of which, in any such case described in clause
(i) or (ii), is, in the judgment of the Placement Agent, so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed
with the sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Base Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement.
H. The
Common Stock is registered under the Exchange Act and, as of the Closing Date, the Shares shall be listed for trading on the OTCQB or
other applicable U.S. national exchange and reasonable evidence of such action, if available, shall have been provided to the Placement
Agent upon its request. The Company shall have taken no action designed to, or likely to have the effect of terminating the registration
of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act or delisting or suspending from trading the Common Stock from the Trading Market or other applicable
U.S. national exchange, nor has the Company received any information suggesting that the Commission or the Trading Market or other U.S.
applicable national exchange is contemplating terminating such registration or listing.
I. No action
shall have been taken and no statute, rule, regulation or order shall have been enacted, adopted or issued by any governmental
agency or body which would, as of the Closing Date, prevent the issuance or sale of the Securities or materially and adversely
affect or potentially and adversely affect the business or operations of the Company; and no injunction, restraining order or order
of any other nature by any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction shall have been issued as of the Closing Date which

contain representations, warranties and covenants of the Company as agreed between the Company and the Purchaser.
L. FINRA
shall have raised no objection to the fairness and reasonableness of the terms and arrangements of this Agreement. In addition, the Company
shall, if requested by the Placement Agent, make or authorize Placement Agent’s counsel to make on the Company’s behalf, any
filing with the FINRA Corporate Financing Department pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110 with respect to the Placement and pay all filing fees
required in connection therewith.
M. [Reserved.]
N. Subsequent
to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to each Closing Date, in the Placement Agent’s sole judgment after consultation
with the Company, there shall not have occurred any Material Adverse Effect or any material adverse change or development involving a
prospective material adverse change in the condition or the business activities, financial or otherwise, of the Company from the latest
dates as of which such condition is set forth in the Registration Statement and Prospectus (“Material Adverse Change”).
If any of the conditions
specified in this Section 8 shall not have been fulfilled when and as required by this Agreement, or if any of the certificates, opinions,
written statements or letters furnished to the Placement Agent or to Placement Agent’s counsel pursuant to this Section 8 shall
not be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Placement Agent and to Placement Agent’s counsel, all obligations of
the Placement Agent hereunder may be cancelled by the Placement Agent at, or at any time prior to, the consummation of the Closing. Notice
of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing or orally. Any such oral notice shall be confirmed promptly thereafter in

SECTION 9. Reserved.
SECTION
10. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made and delivered in New York City and both this
engagement letter and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed as to validity, interpretation, construction, effect
and in all other respects by the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.
Each of the Placement Agent and the Company: (i) agrees that any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
engagement letter and/or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be instituted exclusively in New York Supreme Court, County of
New York, or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, (ii) waives any objection which it may have
or hereafter to the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding, and (iii) irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the New York
Supreme Court, County of New York, and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in any such suit,
action or proceeding. Each of the Placement Agent and the Company further agrees to accept and acknowledge service of any and all
process which may be served in any such suit, action or proceeding in the New York Supreme Court, County of New York, or in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and agrees that service of process upon the Company mailed by
certified mail to the Company’s address shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company, in any
such suit, action or proceeding, and service of process upon the Placement Agent mailed by certified mail to the Placement
Agent’s address shall be deemed in every respect effective service process upon the Placement Agent, in any such suit, action
or proceeding. Notwithstanding any provision of this engagement letter to the contrary, the Company agrees that neither the
Placement Agent nor its affiliates, and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives of the Placement
Agent, its affiliates and each other person, if any, controlling the Placement Agent or any of its affiliates, shall have any
liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company for or in connection with the engagement and
transaction described herein except for any such liability for losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred by us that are
finally judicially determined to have resulted from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such individuals or entities. If
either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provision of this Agreement, then the prevailing party in such
action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses
incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.3
SECTION 11.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT/MISC. This Agreement (including the attached Indemnification Provisions) embodies the entire agreement and understanding
between the parties hereto, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, relating to the subject matter hereof. If any provision
of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, such determination will not affect such provision in any
other respect or any other provision of this Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect. This Agreement may not be amended
or otherwise modified or waived except by an instrument in writing signed by the Placement Agent and the Company. The representations,
warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein shall survive the closing of the Placement and delivery of the Securities. This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement
and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that
both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or a .pdf format
file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed)
with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or .pdf signature page were an original thereof.
SECTION
12. CONFIDENTIALITY. The Placement Agent (i) will keep the Confidential Information (as such term is defined below)
confidential and will not (except as required by applicable law or stock exchange requirement, regulation or legal process
(“Legal Requirement”)), without the Company’s prior written consent, disclose to any person any
Confidential Information, and (ii) will not use any Confidential Information other than in connection with the Placement. The
Placement Agent further agree, severally and not jointly, to disclose the Confidential Information only to its Representatives (as
such term is defined below) who need to know the Confidential Information for the purpose of the Placement, and who are informed by
the Placement Agent of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information. The term “Confidential
Information” shall mean, all confidential, proprietary and non-public information (whether written, oral or electronic
communications) furnished by the Company to the Placement Agent or its Representatives in connection with the Placement
Agent’s evaluation of the Placement. The term “Confidential Information” will not, however, include
information which (i) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure by the Placement Agent or its
Representatives in violation of this Agreement, (ii) is or becomes available to the Placement Agent or any of its Representatives on
a non- confidential basis from a third-party, (iii) is known to the Placement Agent or any of its Representatives prior to
disclosure by the Company or any of its Representatives, or (iv) is or has been independently developed by the Placement Agent
and/or the Representatives without use of any Confidential Information furnished to it by the Company. The term
“Representatives” shall mean the Placement Agent’s directors, board committees, officers, employees, financial
advisors, attorneys and accountants. This provision shall be in full force until the earlier of (a) the date that the Confidential
Information ceases to be confidential and (b) two years from the date hereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, in the event
that the Placement Agent or any of its Representatives are required by Legal Requirement to disclose any of the Confidential
Information, such Placement Agent and its Representatives will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which such
Placement Agent or its Representative, as applicable, is required to disclose by Legal Requirement as advised by counsel, and will
use reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information so
disclosed.

ADDENDUM A
INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS
In connection
with the engagement of Icon Capital Group, LLC (the “Lead Manager”) by SunHydrogen, Inc. (the “Company”) pursuant
to a placement agency agreement dated as of the date hereof, between the Company and the Lead Manager, as it may be amended from time
to time in writing (the “Agreement”), the Company hereby agrees as follows:
1. To
the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify the Lead Manager and each of their respective affiliates, directors, officers,
employees and controlling persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Section 20 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) against all losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities, as the same are incurred (including the reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel), relating to or arising out of its activities hereunder or pursuant to the Agreement, except, with regard
to the Lead Manager, to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) are found
in a final judgment (not subject to appeal) by a court of law to have resulted primarily and directly from the Lead Manager’s willful
misconduct or gross negligence in performing the services described herein, as the case may be.
2. Promptly
after receipt by the Lead Manager of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which the Lead
Manager are entitled to indemnity hereunder, the Lead Manager will notify the Company in writing of such claim or of the commencement
of such action or proceeding, and the Company will assume the defense of such action or proceeding and will employ counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Lead Manager and will pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Lead
Manager will be entitled to employ counsel separate from counsel for the Company and from any other party in such action if counsel for
the Lead Manager reasonably determines that it would be inappropriate under the applicable rules of professional responsibility for the
same counsel to represent both the Company and the Lead Manager. In such event, the reasonable fees and disbursements of no more than
one such separate counsel will be paid by the Company. The Company will have the exclusive right to settle the claim or proceeding provided
that the Company will not settle any such claim, action or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Lead Manager, which will
not be unreasonably withheld.
3. The
Company agrees to notify the Lead Manager promptly of the assertion against it or any other person of any claim or the commencement of
any action or proceeding relating to a transaction contemplated by the Agreement.
4. If
for any reason the foregoing indemnity is unavailable to the Lead Manager or insufficient to hold the Lead Manager harmless, then the
Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Lead Manager, as the case may be, as a result of such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand,
and the Lead Manager on the other, but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Lead Manager on the other that resulted
in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. The amounts paid or payable by a party
in respect of losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees and expenses
incurred in defending any litigation, proceeding or other action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions hereof, the Lead Manager’s
share of the liability hereunder shall not be in excess of the amount of fees actually received, or to be received, by the Lead Manager
under the Agreement (excluding any amounts received as reimbursement of expenses incurred by the Lead Manager).
5. These
Indemnification Provisions shall remain in full force and effect whether or not the transaction contemplated by the Agreement is completed
and shall survive the termination of the Agreement, and shall be in addition to any liability that the Company might otherwise have to
any indemnified party under the Agreement or otherwise.
