On January 10, 2018, Energous Corporation
(“Energous” or “Company”) entered into a Service Continuation Agreement (“Service Continuation Agreement”)
with Michael Leabman, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors and its Chief Technology Officer. Under the Service Continuation
Agreement, Mr. Leabman’s employment relationship with the Company terminates on January 11, 2018, and he agreed to serve
as an independent contractor for the Company for a two-year period, commencing immediately upon his termination. Mr. Leabman also
agreed not to stand for re-election to the Company’s board of directors at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, which

Continuation Agreement, Mr. Leabman will be compensated at the rate of $16,190.10 per month, receive 12 months COBRA benefits at
the Company’s expense, and continue to vest in his outstanding equity awards until the end of his service period. Mr. Leabman
agreed to non-competition and non-solicitation covenants, provided a release to the Company, and agreed to vote his shares of Company
stock as recommended by the Company’s board of directors.

Continuation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement,
