BONDING SUPPORT AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.8

BONDING SUPPORT AGREEMENT

     THIS BONDING SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of June 21, 2010, with an effective date of December 29, 2009 by and between Energy Focus, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and The Quercus Trust, a trust formed under the laws of the State of California (“Investor”).

Recitals

     A. The Company is in the process of acquiring or has acquired all of the member interests of Stones River Companies, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company (“SRC”). SRC is in the turnkey lighting retrofit business. In the regular course of its business, SRC must routinely provide performance bonds to secure the payment and performance of its obligations on its projects. As part of the acquisition of the member interests of SRC, the Company must provide extended surety capacity (the “Bond”) by The Hanover Insurance Company through its agent, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Companies (collectively, the “Bonding Company”), of $5,000,000.00 single/$10,000,000.00 aggregate coverage, to secure the obligations of SRC on its projects. The Company has requested Investor’s assistance in supporting the Bond and Investor is willing to do so.

     B. As collateral for the Bond, Investor is willing to provide an irrevocable, twenty-four-month, cash collateral deposit (the “Deposit”) or financial institution letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in the amount of $300,000.00 on terms reasonably acceptable to (i) the Bonding Company, (ii) the Company, and (iii) Investor (collectively, the “Relevant Parties”). In order to induce Investor to provide the Deposit or the Letter of Credit, the Company is willing (i) to issue to Investor or its designee (the “Recipient”) 150,000 five-year warrants exercisable at $0.01 per share to permit the Recipient to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, and (ii) to provide to Investor the other consideration and covenants set forth below. The Company’s shares of Common Stock are listed for trading on the Nasdaq Global Market.

Agreements

     In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     Section 1. Terms of the Transaction. (a) As collateral for the issuance of the Bond by the Bonding Company, Investor has provided an irrevocable, twenty-four-month Deposit in the minimum amount of $300,000.00 on terms reasonably acceptable to the various parties to the Bond agreements (the “Relevant Parties”). The Bonding Company shall hold the Deposit in a segregated account, in the name of the Investor, and earmarked for bond support for the Company. In the alternative, the Investor may provide an irrevocable, twenty-four-month Letter of Credit in favor of the Bonding Company, in the same amount, on the Bonding Company’s form, and at a financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Relevant Parties to serve as collateral for the Bond.

     (b) As consideration for the provision of the Deposit or the Letter of Credit, the Company shall issue to the Recipient a five-year Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant”) covering warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of its Common Stock at $0.01 per share pursuant to a Warrant Acquisition Agreement of even date. The Warrant is not exercisable unless and until approved by the Company’s shareholders at its annual meeting in 2010 or at a special shareholder meeting in 2010 called for that purpose. If shareholders do not approve the Warrant in 2010 at a special or the annual meeting, the Warrant shall terminate. If the Company replaces and releases, or simply releases, the Deposit or the Letter of Credit within six (6) months of the date of this Agreement, the number of warrants covered by the Warrant shall reduce to a number of warrants equal to the product of (i) the number of full months elapsed since the date of this Agreement times (ii) 12,500.

     (c) The Company shall pay Investor interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Deposit or the face amount of the Letter of Credit at the simple interest rate of ten percent (10.0%) per year quarterly in arrears, beginning on the first day of the calendar quarter following the date of this Agreement, and at maturity.

     (d) If Investor has provided a Letter of Credit, as further consideration for the provision of the Letter of Credit, the Company agrees to promptly reimburse Investor for any monies that Investor is required to pay, and pays, to the Letter of Credit financial institution.

     (e) If Investor has provided a Deposit, as further consideration for the provision of the Deposit, the Company agrees to promptly reimburse Investor for any monies that Investor is required to pay, and pays, to the Bonding Company as draws on the Deposit.

     (f) The Company shall promptly reimburse Investor for the payment by Investor of any reasonable letter of credit fee that the Letter of Credit financial institution may charge for issuing the Letter of Credit.

     (g) The obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be secured by the collateral covered by a Stock Pledge Agreement between the Company and Investor of even date.

     (h) Upon any dissolution, winding up, or liquidation of the Company in a bankruptcy, insolvency, or receivership proceeding, the Company shall not pay, and the Investor shall not be entitled to receive, any of the principal of and interest on the Deposit unless and until the Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid or discharged (provided that the foregoing shall not be required to prohibit Investor from taking action to enforce its rights prior to the liquidation of the Company or initiation of bankruptcy proceedings, nor to enforce its securities interest under the Stock Pledge Agreement at any time). For purposes of this Section 1(h), “Senior Indebtedness” shall mean the principal of and unpaid accrued interest on (x) all indebtedness of the Company and its wholly-owned, British subsidiary, Crescent Lighting, Ltd. (“ Crescent”) to banks, insurance companies, or other financial institutions regularly engaged in the business of lending money, which is money borrowed by the Company or Crescent, whether or not secured, and (y) any such indebtedness or any debentures, notes, or other evidence of indebtedness issued

in exchange for such Senior Indebtedness or any indebtedness arising from the satisfaction of such Senior Indebtedness by a guarantor.

     (i) If a “Liquidity Event” occurs before the full return of the principal amount of the Deposit, or the expiration of the Letter of Credit, at maturity twenty-four (24) months from the date of this Agreement, as may be extended according to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall pay Investor upon the closing of the Liquidity Event an interest premium amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the interest on the Deposit or the Letter of Credit then accrued and unpaid under Section 1(c) of this Agreement. As used in this Section 1(i), the term “Liquidity Event” means (x) the Company shall have merged into or consolidated with another corporation, or merged another corporation into the Company, on a basis whereby less than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the surviving corporation is represented by shares held by former shareholders of the Company prior to that merger or consolidation, or (y) the Company shall sell substantially all of its assets, with its assets for this purpose excluding its Fiberstars and United States Commercial units.

     (j) The Company shall have the right to replace and release, or simply release, the Deposit or the Letter of Credit to Investor at any time prior to maturity twenty-four (24) months from the date of this Agreement, as may be extended according to the terms of this Agreement, following at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Investor or with the written consent of Investor, and upon the Company’s payment to Investor of twelve (12) months interest at the rate set forth in Section 1(c).

     (k) The Company and Investor may extend the term of the Deposit or of the Letter of Credit for an additional twelve (12) months by written agreement no later than eleven (11) months from the date of this Agreement.
