BIONEUTRAL GROUP, INC.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION AGREEMENT

THIS DEFERRED COMPENSATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of July 10, 2013, by and between Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx (the “Employee”) and BioNeutral Group, Inc. a Nevada corporation (the “Company”). This Agreement is intended to provide compensation to the Employee. In consideration for the services you have provided to the Company, and as payment in full for such services, the Company and the Employee hereto agree as follows:

Background. The Company has launched its marketing and commercialization strategy in fiscal 2013 of its Ygiene™ and Ogiene™ product lines (the “2013 Commercialization”). Substantial working capital is required to execute the 2013 Commercialization. Several factors have placed material limitations on the availability working capital to the Company, which in summary, consist of the following: 1.) the uncertainty surrounding the 2009 Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) investigation which remains an open matter; 2.) Generalized current capital market conditions creating a lack of available capital from lending institutions for small companies; 3.) Generalized unwillingness of lenders to fund small companies with relatively small capital requirements; 4.) Generalized unwillingness of lenders to fund small companies without established channels of product distribution; and 5.) to date, insignificant cash provided by operations particularly in light of the relatively long sales cycle involved with selling the Company’s products. In light of the factors Agreement above, the Company has located a few sources of capital to which it has used to fund the 2013 Commercialization. Despite the best efforts of management, the amount however has fallen materially short of the amount needed to fully fund operations and the 2013 Commercialization as Agreement in our filings with the SEC. In light of the shortfall and to assist the Company to continue the 2013 Commercialization, the Employee has agreed to defer significant portions of his compensation.

Deferred Compensation Amount. On September 30, 2013 (the “Deferred Compensation Payment Date”), or upon the consummation of a Sale of the Company or upon a Public Offering resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $5,000,000, whichever is earliest, the Company shall pay the Employee (or his beneficiary in the event of his death) a lump sum equal to an amount of $151,727.27 (such amount, the “Deferred Compensation Amount”) determined as follows:

Deferred compensation earned and unpaid up through and including June 30, 2013 in the amount of $110,499.89 plus accrued and unpaid interest of $3,662.20 for a total of $114,162.09 (the “Accrued Compensation”); and

Deferred compensation to be earned and unpaid up for the period of July 1, 2013 through September 30, 2013 in the amount of $34,615.38, plus interest to be accrued and unpaid of $2,949.80 for a total of $37,565.18 (the “Future Compensation”);

The Employee and Company agree that should compensation be paid by the Company prior to the Deferred Compensation Payment Date to the Employee the Deferred Compensation Amount shall be reduced by the amount of the amount paid to Employee, including a reduction of the interest;

The Employee and Company agree that should the rate or amount of compensation to be paid by the Company to the Employee is either increased or reduced, the Deferred Compensation Amount shall be either increased or reduced by the amount of the compensation increase or reduction, including an either an increase or reduction of the interest;

Interest. Interest on the Deferred Compensation Amount shall accrue from each regularly scheduled bi-weekly payroll check date for which Employee agreed to defer. Interest shall accrue at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum (the “Initial Interest Rate”). Interest will be payable on the Deferred Compensation Payment Date.

Designation of Beneficiaries. The Employee may name any Person (who may be named concurrently, contingently or successively) to whom the Benefit Amount under this Agreement is to be paid if the Employee dies before the Benefit Amount is fully distributed. Each such beneficiary designation will revoke all prior designations by the Employee, shall not require the consent of any previously named beneficiary, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company and will be effective only when filed with the Company during the Employee’s lifetime. If the Employee fails to designate a beneficiary before his death, as provided in this Section, or if the beneficiary designated by the Employee dies before the date of the Employee’s death or before complete payment of the Benefit Amount, the Company, in its discretion, may pay the Benefit Amount to either (i) one or more of the Employee’s relatives by blood, adoption or marriage and in such proportions as the Company determines, or (ii) the legal representative or representatives of the estate of the last to die of the Employee and his designated beneficiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is married, the Employee’s spouse must consent in writing to the designation of any Person as beneficiary other than the spouse.
