**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	10,000 of the options vested on December 17, 2015 and 4,000 shall vest every six (6) months thereafter.
(2)	On November 9, 2015, Samuel 2012 Children's Trust UAD 10/28/12 (the "Trust") acquired a 6% Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $1,500,000 and a Stock Purchase Warrant to acquire 428,571 shares of common stock. On December 4, 2015, the Trust acquired a 6% Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $500,000 and a Stock Purchase Warrant to acquire 142,857 shares of common stock. The 6% Convertible Promissory Notes (the "Notes") mature on the earliest of (i) two years from the date of issuance, (ii) Workhorse Group Inc. (the "Company") listing of its common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market or the NYSE MKT (the "Listing") or (iii) a change of control (collectively, the "Maturity Date"). At the option of the holder, all or a portion of the Notes may be converted into shares of common stock of the Company at $3.50 per share (the "Offering Price").
(3)	The Notes are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company automatically on the Maturity Date at the lowest of the Offering Price, lower of the opening and closing prices of the Company's common stock on the trading day prior to the Listing, the price per share paid by public investors in an underwritten public offering conducted in connection with the Listing or the per share consideration paid in a change of control. Interest is payable on the Maturity Date and upon the optional conversion by an investor in shares of Common Stock, cash or a mixture of both, at the option of the Company at the public market price on the trading day immediately preceding such date.
(4)	H. Benjamin Samuels is a trustee and beneficiary of the Trust.
