Explanation of Responses:

1. 600,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Preferred Stock") are convertible into 46,153,846 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 (the "Common Stock") at the option of the holder, RVL 1 LLC ("RVL"), at a conversion price of $0.13 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments, and have no expiration date. As of September 25, 2012 there is an insufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock to effect the full conversion of the Preferred Stock. Accordingly, as of September 25, 2012, Nexxus Lighting, Inc. (the "Company") has reserved 19,377,086 shares of Common Stock for issuance upon conversion of 251,902 shares of Preferred Stock. The Company anticipates increasing the authorized number of Common Stock, at which point it will reserve the entire 46,153,846 shares of Common Stock necessary for the conversion of all of the Preferred Stock.

2. As of September 25, 2012, RVL held directly 600,000 shares of Preferred Stock. Aston Capital LLC ("Aston") is the managing member of RVL. Robert V. LaPenta, Jr. is an officer of RVL and a member and officer of Aston. As a result of the foregoing, Mr. LaPenta, Jr. possesses the power to vote and to direct the disposition of the securities of the Company beneficially owned by RVL and may be deemed to beneficially own such securities. Mr. LaPenta, Jr.'s interest in the securities reported herein is limited to the extent of his pecuniary interest, if any.
