Exhibit A

PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of July 19, 2017, is entered into by and between Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (including any of its successors by merger, acquisition, reorganization, conversion or otherwise, the “Company”), and the Persons set forth on Schedule I hereto (the “Purchasers” and each, a “Purchaser”).

WHEREAS, the Company proposes to commence an offering to each of the holders (the “Eligible Holders”) of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of record as of the close of business on August 10, 2017 (the “Record Date”), of non-transferable rights (the “Rights”) to subscribe for and purchase such number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “New Shares”) at a subscription price per share of $1.00 (the “Subscription Price”) constituting an aggregate offering amount of $34.0 million (the “Aggregate Offering Amount”) (such offering, as further defined in Section 2 hereof, the “Rights Offering”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Rights Offering, the Company will distribute to each of the Eligible Holders, at no charge, one Right for each share of Common Stock held by such Eligible Holder as of the Record Date, and each Right will entitle the holder thereof, at the election of such holder, to purchase at the Subscription Price its pro rata portion of the New Shares (the “Basic Subscription Right”) and, so long as such Eligible Holder has subscribed for all of its Basic Subscription Right, additional New Shares in an amount to be specified by such Eligible Holder up to but not exceeding the lesser of (i) such number of New Shares which may be purchased pursuant to the Basic Subscription Right or (ii) such Eligible Holder’s Oversubscription Allocation (the “Oversubscription Right”), provided that no fractional New Shares will be issued;

WHEREAS, in order to facilitate the Rights Offering, the Company has requested each Purchaser to agree, and each Purchaser hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to purchase New Shares that are not purchased by the Eligible Holders upon the exercise of Rights pursuant to the Basic Subscription Right (“Unsubscribed Shares”), up to the number of New Shares that would result in the Purchaser owning 40.0% (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 11(c)) of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company following the Closing (the “Purchase Commitment”) from the Company at the Subscription Price and subject to proration of Unsubscribed Shares among all other Purchasers if the amount of Unsubscribed Shares is less than the total amount of all Purchase Commitments;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, in consideration of each Purchaser’s commitment to purchase certain shares of Common Stock upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Company and the Purchasers are entering into the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has committed to prepare and file a resale registration statement, registering offers and sales of the Shares (as defined below) acquired pursuant to this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the Company agrees and each of the Purchasers agrees with the Company, intending to be legally bound hereby, as follows:

Section 1.          Definitions.

(a)          Certain Defined Terms.  The following terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth below:

Section 2.          Rights Offering.

(a)          On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus, the Company will distribute to each Eligible Holder, at no charge, one Right for each share of Common Stock held by such holder as of the close of business on the Record Date.  Each such Right shall be non-transferable and will entitle the holder thereof, at the election of such holder, to purchase New Shares pursuant to the Basic Subscription Right and Oversubscription Right.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Subscription Price multiplied by the aggregate number of New Shares offered to Eligible Holders shall not exceed the Aggregate Offering Amount.

(b)          Each Eligible Holder may exercise all, none, or any portion of the Rights distributed to such Eligible Holder pursuant to the Rights Offering.  The Rights may be exercised at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on the Rights Offering Expiration Date (the “Expiration Time”).

(c)          Each Eligible Holder who wishes to exercise all or any portion of its Rights shall (i) prior to the Expiration Time, return a duly executed document (the “Exercise Form”) to Vstock Transfer, LLC (the “Subscription Agent”) electing to exercise all or any portion of the Rights held by such Eligible Holder and (ii) pay an amount equal to the full Subscription Price of the number of New Shares that the Eligible Holder elects to purchase pursuant to the instructions set forth in the Registration Statement by a specified date to an escrow account established for the Rights Offering.  On the Closing Date, the Company will issue to each Eligible Holder who validly exercised its Rights the number of New Shares to which such Eligible Holder is entitled based on such exercise.

(d)          The Company will pay all of its expenses associated with the Registration Statement and the Rights Offering, including, without limitation, filing and printing fees, fees and expenses of the Subscription Agent and any other agents, its counsel and accounting fees and expenses, costs associated with clearing the Shares for sale under applicable state securities laws and listing fees.

(e)          The Company shall notify, or cause the Subscription Agent to notify, the Purchasers on each of the five Business Days prior to the Rights Offering Expiration Date of the aggregate number of Rights known by the Company or the Subscription Agent to have been exercised pursuant to the Basic Subscription Right and Oversubscription Right by all Eligible Holders as of the close of business on the preceding Business Day.

Section 3.          Purchase Commitment.

(a)          Purchase Commitment.

(i)          Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to sell to each Purchaser, at the Subscription Price, Unsubscribed Shares in an amount up to such Purchaser’s Purchase Commitment, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.  The failure by one Purchaser to purchase, for any reason, the Shares specified in this Agreement with respect to such Purchaser shall create no obligation on any other Purchaser to purchase such Shares.

(ii)          Each Purchaser hereby agrees with the Company that it is the intent of such parties that such Purchaser, by virtue of acting hereunder, should not be deemed an “underwriter” within the definition of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act or deemed to be engaged in broker-dealer activity requiring registration under Section 15 of the Exchange Act, and such Purchaser and the Company shall in the fulfillment of their obligations hereunder act in accordance with this mutual understanding.

(iii)          As soon as practicable, and in any event no later than 12:00 p.m. New York City time on the third Business Day immediately following the Rights Offering Expiration Date, the Company shall give each Purchaser a written certification from an executive officer of the Company of the number of New Shares elected to be purchased by Eligible Holders pursuant to valid exercises of the Basic Subscription Right and the Oversubscription Right, and the number of Unsubscribed Shares, and the portion of such Unsubscribed Shares that each Purchaser is required to purchase pursuant to the Purchase Commitment (a “Purchase Notice”).  The Purchasers will purchase, and the Company will sell, the number of New Shares set forth in the Purchase Notice, without prejudice to the rights of the Purchasers or the Company to seek later an upward or downward adjustment if the number of New Shares set forth in such Purchase Notice is inaccurate.

(iv)          Upon the prior written consent of the Company, each Purchaser shall have the right to arrange for one or more of its Affiliates (each, an “Affiliated Purchaser”) to acquire Shares otherwise issuable to such Purchaser hereunder, by written notice to the Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, which notice shall be signed by such Purchaser and each Affiliated Purchaser, and shall contain a confirmation by the Affiliated Purchaser of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 4.  In no event will any such arrangement relieve such Purchaser from its obligations under this Agreement.

(b)          Closing.  On the basis of the representations and warranties and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, including the satisfaction of the closing conditions in Section 8 of this Agreement, the closing of the purchase and sale of the Shares (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Seward & Kissel LLP, at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the later of (i) three Business Days after the Rights Offering Expiration Date and (ii) one Business Day following the date that all of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 8 have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing); provided, that the Closing may take place at such other place, time or date as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Company and each Purchaser (the date of the Closing, the “Closing Date”).

(c)          Deliveries at Closing.

(i)          At the Closing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a certificate or certificates in book-entry form, registered in the name of such Purchaser, representing the number of Shares issued to such Purchaser hereunder.

(ii)          At the Closing, each Purchaser shall deliver to the Company the aggregate Subscription Price for the New Shares purchased by such Purchaser hereunder, which amount shall be paid by such Purchaser to the Company in U.S. federal (same day) funds to an account designated in writing by the Company no less than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

(a)          Indemnification by the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, whether or not the Rights Offering, the issuance of the Shares to any Purchasers or the other transactions contemplated hereby are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, from and after the date hereof, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser, its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, partners, members, agents, representatives, successors, assigns and employees and each other Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such Purchaser or its Affiliates (all such Persons being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as the “Purchaser Indemnified Persons”) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (collectively, the “Losses”) to which such Purchaser Indemnified Person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (1) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement, (2) any failure by the Company to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, (3) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including the Prospectus and all other documents filed as a part thereof or incorporated by reference therein, or an 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, (4) any Action by any stockholder of the Company or any other Person relating to this Agreement or the documents contemplated hereby or thereby, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (5) by reason of the fact that such Purchaser is a party to this Agreement or in any way arising, directly or indirectly, from the Rights Offering or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements; and the Company will promptly reimburse such Purchaser Indemnified Persons for any legal and other expenses as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Purchaser Indemnified Persons in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend, settling, compromising or paying any such Losses; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Indemnified Person in any such case to the extent that any such Losses arise out of or are based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the section the Prospectus or the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto titled “_________” in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by that Purchaser Indemnified Person or its Affiliates expressly for use therein, (ii) the failure of such Purchaser Indemnified Person or its Affiliate to perform any covenant and agreement contained in this Agreement with respect to the sale of the Shares, (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by such Purchaser Indemnified Person or its Affiliate in this Agreement or (iii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct ofsuch Purchaser Indemnified Person or its Affiliate.

(b)          Indemnification by the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, partners, members, agents, representatives, successors, assigns and employees and each other Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Company or its Affiliates (all such Persons being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as the “Company Indemnified Persons”), against any Losses to which any Company Indemnified Person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (X) any breach of any representation or warranty or breach of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of such Purchaser contained in this Agreement or (Y) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the section the Prospectus or the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto titled “_________” in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by that Purchaser expressly for use therein, and the Purchaser will promptly reimburse such Company Indemnified Persons for any legal and other expenses as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Company Indemnified Persons in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend, settling, compromising or paying any such Losses; provided, however, that such Purchaser will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Losses arise out of or are based upon (i) the failure of the Company or any other Purchaser to perform any of its covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Company or any other Purchaser in this Agreement or (iii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Company Indemnified Person or any other Purchaser.

(c)          Indemnification Procedures.  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 10 of notice of the threat or commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 10, promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 10 to the extent such indemnifying party is not prejudiced as a result of such failure to promptly notify.  Such notice shall describe in reasonable detail such claim.  In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to such indemnified party within 30 days of such indemnifying party’s receipt of notice of such action from such indemnified party, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, (i) if the indemnifying party has failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party in any such proceeding or (ii) if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded, based on the advice of counsel, that there may be a conflict of interest between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, in any such case, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume or assert, as the case may be, such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties.  Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 10 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in connection with the assumption or assertion, as the case may be, of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel in any jurisdiction (and as required, local counsels), reasonably satisfactory to such indemnifying party, representing the indemnified party), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent such indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of action or (iii) the indemnifying party shall have authorized in writing the employment of counsel for such indemnified person, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.  The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action without its written consent.  In no event shall any indemnifying party be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless the indemnifying party shall have approved in writing the terms of such settlement.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding unless such settlement or compromise includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability arising out of such Action.

(d)          Contribution.  If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is required by its terms but is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 10 in respect to any Losses referred to herein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of any Losses referred to herein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and the applicable Purchaser in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties in this Agreement and/or the Registration Statement, including the Prospectus, that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the applicable Purchaser on the other 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, or the inaccurate or the alleged inaccurate representation and/or warranty relates to information supplied by the Company or by the applicable Purchaser and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 10, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim.  The provisions set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 10 with respect to the notice of the threat or commencement of any threat or action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this paragraph (d); provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any threat or action for which notice has been given under paragraph (c) for purposes of indemnification.  The Company and each Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10were determined solely by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 12(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e)          The obligations of the Company under this Section 10 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to any Purchaser Indemnified Person and the obligations of each Purchaser under this Section 10 shall be in addition to any liability which such Purchaser may otherwise have to any Company Indemnified Person.  The remedies provided in this Section 10 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to the parties at law or in equity.

Section 11.          Additional Agreements.

(a)          Standstill.  Each Purchaser agrees that, without the approval of the Board, neither it nor its Affiliates will (i) acquire beneficial ownership measured by voting power of more than 40.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all Shares acquired by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement); (ii) form or participate in a “group” as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act (a “Group”) with respect to the Common Stock after giving effect to which it would be deemed to beneficially own more than 40.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock; or (iii) initiate or participate in any “freeze-out” merger or other going private transaction with respect to the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 11(a) shall terminate on the date that (A) the Company publicly announces that it plans to pursue a tender offer, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or any similar transaction involving the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole (a “Buyout Transaction”); (B) the Board approves, recommends or accepts a Buyout Transaction proposed by any Person or Group or (C) any Person or Group, other than any Purchaser or a Group of which any Purchaser is a part, acquires beneficial ownership measured by voting power of more than 40.0% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock.

(b)          Transfer of Large Block.  In the event that a Purchaser (together with its controlled Affiliates) transfers, individually or in the aggregate, 20% or more of the voting power of the outstanding Common Stock to any one Person (including such Person’s Affiliates) or any Group, the transferee or the transferees shall agree that Section 11(a) shall apply to such transferee or transferees, as the case may be.

(c)          Limitation of Purchase Commitment.  Upon notice by the Company to the Purchaser, the limitation on the number of New Shares to be sold pursuant to the Purchase Commitment may be reduced by substituting in place of “40.0%” in the definition of “Purchase Commitment” herein a percentage which is less than 40.0% but at least 33.3%, if and to the extent that, in the good-faith determination of the Company, such limitation is necessary to prevent any development or event that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 12.          Miscellaneous.

(a)          Amendments.  This Agreement may not be amended, modified or changed, in whole or in part, except by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Purchasers.

(b)          Notices.  All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing, shall be mailed first-class registered or certified airmail, e-mail, confirmed facsimile or nationally recognized overnight express courier postage prepaid, and shall be deemed given when received and shall be delivered as addressed as follows:
