3.           Prepayment. This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time at the option of the Borrower without premium or penalty.

4.           Loan Agreement. This Note is the Note referred to in the agreements between the Borrower and the Lender, including, but not limited to the Loan Agreement of even date herewith (the “Loan Agreement”) and the Loan Documents referenced therein (the “Loan Documents”).

Interest shall continue to accrue after entry of judgment hereunder, by confession, default, or otherwise, at the higher of the prevailing rate of interest under this Note, or the judgment rate of interest under applicable law. All waivers granted in this paragraph are given to the extent permitted by the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure.

WARRANT







to Purchase up to 4,480,000 Shares of the







Common Stock, $-0- Par Value Per Share,







of







OCEAN THERMAL ENERGY CORPORATION







This is to certify that, for value received, JPF Venture Fund 1, L.P. (“Lender”) or any permitted transferee (Lender or such transferee being hereinafter called the “Holder”) is entitled to purchase, subject to the provisions of this Warrant, from Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“OTEC”), at any time on or after the date hereof, an aggregate of up to 4,480,000 fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, $-0- par value (the “Common Stock”), of OTEC at a price per share equal to $0.25, subject to adjustment as herein provided (the “Exercise Price”).







1.           Exercise of Warrant. Subject to the provisions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, or sold, assigned or transferred at any time or from time to time on or after the date hereof This Warrant shall be exercised by presentation and surrender hereof to OTEC at the principal office of OTEC, accompanied by (i) a written notice of exercise, (ii) payment to OTEC, for the account of OTEC, of the Exercise Price for the number of shares of Common Stock specified in such notice, and (iii) a certificate of the Holder specifying the event or events which have occurred and entitle the Holder to exercise this Warrant. The Exercise Price for the number of shares of Common Stock specified in the notice shall be payable in immediately available funds or in the form of an offset to amount owed by OTEC to Lender.







Upon such presentation and surrender, OTEC shall issue promptly (and within one business day if reasonably requested by the Holder) to the Holder or its assignee, transferee or designee the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled hereunder. OTEC covenants and warrants that such shares of Common Stock, when so issued, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.







If this Warrant is exercised in part only, OTEC shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder thereof to purchase the balance of the shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder. Upon receipt by OTEC of this Warrant, in proper form for exercise, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of OTEC may then be closed or that certificates representing such shares of Common Stock shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder. OTEC shall pay all expenses, and any and all United States federal, state and local taxes and other charges, that may be payable in connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of stock certificates pursuant to this Paragraph 1 in the name of the Holder or its assignee, transferee or designee.







2.           Reservation of Shares; Preservation of Rights of Holder.







OTEC shall at all times while this Warrant is outstanding and unexercised, maintain and reserve, free from preemptive rights, such number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as may be necessary so that this Warrant may be exercised without any additional authorization of Common Stock after giving effect to all other options, warrants, convertible securities and other rights to acquire shares of Common Stock at the time outstanding. OTEC further agrees that (i) it will not, by charter amendment or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution or sale of assets, or by any other voluntary act or omission, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the covenants, stipulations or conditions to be observed or performed hereunder, and (ii) it will promptly take all action reasonably necessary to protect the rights of the Holder against dilution as provided herein.


 



 



	Warrant	 1	 





 




  





  











  










 


3.           Fractional Shares. OTEC shall not be required to issue any fractional shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares, the Holder shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the amount of such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price.







4.           Exchange or Loss of Warrant. This Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and surrender hereof at the principal office of OTEC for other warrants of different denominations entitling the Holder to purchase, in the aggregate, the same number of shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder. The term “Warrant” as used herein includes any warrants for which this Warrant may be exchanged. Upon receipt by OTEC of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, OTEC will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date.







5.           Adjustment. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Paragraph.







(A)           Stock Dividends, etc.







(1)           Stock Dividends. In case OTEC shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of capital stock of OTEC payable in Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased by multiplying such number of shares by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the day immediately preceding the date of such distribution and the numerator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares of Common Stock constituting such dividend or other distribution, such increase to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following such distribution.







(2)           Subdivisions. In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately decreased, such increase or decrease, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.







(3)           Reclassifications. The reclassification of Common Stock into securities (other than Common Stock) and/or cash and/or other consideration shall be deemed to involve a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number or amount of securities and/or cash and/or other consideration outstanding immediately thereafter and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be “the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective,” or “the day upon which such combination becomes effective,” as the case may be, within the meaning of clause (2) above.



 



	Warrant	 2	 





 




  





  











  











(4)           Optional Adjustments. OTEC may make such increases in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, in addition to those required by this subparagraph (A), as shall be determined by its Board of Directors to be advisable in order to avoid taxation so far as practicable of any dividend of stock or stock rights or any event treated as such for federal income tax purposes to the recipients.







(5)           Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is adjusted as provided in this Paragraph 5(A), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by a fraction in which the numerator is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable prior to the adjustment and the denominator is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable after the adjustment, rounded to the nearest cent.







(B)           Certain Sales of Common Stock.







(1)           Adjustment to Shares Issuable. If and whenever OTEC sells or otherwise issues (other than under circumstances in which Paragraph 5(A) applies) any shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased by multiplying such number of shares by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the number shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the day immediately preceding the date of such sale or issuance and the numerator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such sale or other issuance, such increase to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following such sale or issuance.







(2)           Adjustment to Exercise Price. If and whenever OTEC sells or otherwise issues any shares of Common Stock (excluding any stock dividend or other issuance not for consideration to which Paragraph 5(A) applies or shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in connection with awards granted under the OTEC Stock Option Plans) for a consideration per share which is less than the Exercise Price at the time of such sale or other issuance, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be forthwith changed (but only if a reduction would result) to the price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by dividing: (i) an amount equal to the sum of (aa) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, multiplied by the then effective Exercise Price, plus (bb) the total consideration, if any, received and deemed received by OTEC upon such issue or sale, by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issue or sale.







(C)           Definition. For purposes of this Paragraph 5, the term “Common Stock” shall include (1) any shares of OTEC of any class or series which has no preference or priority in the payment of dividends or in the distribution of assets upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of OTEC and which is not subject to redemption by OTEC, and (2) any rights or options to subscribe for or to purchase shares of Common Stock or any stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being hereinafter called “Convertible Securities”), whether or not such rights or options or the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable. For purposes of any adjustments made under Paragraph 5(A) or 5(B) as a result of the distribution, sale or other issuance of rights or options or Convertible Securities, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after or as a result of the occurrence of events described in Paragraph 5(A)(1) or 5(B)(1) shall be calculated by assuming that all such rights, options or Convertible Securities have been exercised for the maximum number of shares issuable thereunder.



 



	Warrant	 3	 





 




  





  











  











6.           Notice. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable is adjusted as provided in Paragraph 5, OTEC shall promptly compute such adjustment and mail to the Holder a certificate, signed by the principal financial officer of OTEC, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable as a result of such adjustment having become effective.







7.           Rights of the Holder.







(A)           Without limiting the foregoing or any remedies available to the Holder, it is specifically acknowledged that the Holder would not have an adequate remedy at law for any breach of the provisions of this Warrant and shall be entitled to specific performance of OTEC’s obligations under, and injunctive relief against any actual or threatened violation of the obligations of any person subject to, this Warrant.







(B)           The Holder shall not, by virtue of its status as Holder, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in OTEC.







8.           Termination. This Warrant and the rights conferred hereby shall terminate on April 30, 2016.


 


9.           Governing Law. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been delivered in, and shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the substantive laws of, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, except to the extent that Delaware law may govern certain aspects of this Warrant as it relates to OTEC.

4.           Events of Default. As used in this Agreement, the term “Event of Default” shall mean any one or more of the following at the option of Lender:

(iii)           To sign and endorse the name of the Debtor upon any invoice, freight or express bill, bill of lading, storage or warehouse receipt, or drafts against account debtors or other obligors, and, if and to the extent that Accounts are part of the Collateral to sign and endorse the name of the Debtor on any assignments, verifications and notices in connection with such Accounts, and any instrument or document relating thereto or to the rights of the Debtor therein;







(iv)           To notify post office authorities to change the address for delivery of mail of the Debtor to an address designated by the Lender and to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to the Debtor;







(v)           If and to the extent that Accounts are part of the Collateral, to send requests for verification to account debtors or other obligors, and







(vi)           To sell, assign, sue for, collect, or compromise payment of all or any part of the Collateral in the name of the Debtor or in its own name, or make any other disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, which disposition may be for cash, credit or any combination thereof; and the Lender may purchase all or any part of the collateral at public, or, if permitted by law, private sale, and, in lieu of actual payment of such purchase price, may set off the amount of such price against the Obligations;







(vii)           The Debtor grants to the Lender, as the attorney-in-fact of the Debtor, full power of substitution and full power to do any and all things necessary to be done as fully and effectually as the Debtor might or could do but for this appointment and hereby ratifying all that said attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. Neither the Lender nor its officers and agents shall be liable for any acts or omissions or any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law in its capacity as such attorney-in-fact. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any of the sums becoming due under this Agreement, or any of the Obligations, and/or performance under all the other provisions contained herein and therein, shall remain outstanding.







(b)           If Chattel Paper, Instruments and/or Documents are part of the Collateral, the Lender may at its option and without notice (i) transfer into its name or the name of its nominee all or any part of the Chattel Paper, Instruments and/or Documents; (ii) demand, sue for, collect and receive all interest, dividends, and other proceeds thereof, and hold the same as security for payment of any sums due Lender or, if cash proceeds, apply the same as payment thereof; (iii) notify any person obligated on any of the Chattel Paper, Instruments and/or Documents of the security interest of the Lender therein and request such person to make payment directly to the Lender; or (iv) demand, sue for, collect, or make any settlement or compromise the Lender deems desirable with respect to any of the Chattel Paper, Instruments and/or Documents.

	Security Agreement	 9	 





 




  





  











  








(i)           Remove Collateral therefrom to the premises of the Lender or any of its agents, for such time as the Lender may desire, in order to maintain, sell, collect and/or liquidate the Collateral; or







(ii)           Use such premises, together with materials, supplies, books and records of the Debtor, to maintain possession and/or the condition of the Collateral, and to prepare the Collateral for selling, liquidation or collecting.







(d)           The Lender may require the Debtor to assemble the Collateral at the Mortgaged Premises (as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement).







(e)           Any notice required to be given by the Lender of a sale or other disposition by the Lender of any of the Collateral, made in accordance with this Agreement, which is mailed or delivered at least fifteen (15) days prior to such proposed action, shall constitute fair and reasonable notice to the Debtor of any such action. In the event that any of the Collateral is used in conjunction with any real estate, the sale of the Collateral with and as one parcel of any such real estate of the Debtor shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable manner of sale. Lender has no obligation to clean up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale, and Lender may specifically disclaim warranties of title or the like. The net proceeds realized by the Lender upon any such sale or other disposition, after deduction of the Costs and Expenses, shall be applied toward satisfaction of the remaining Obligations. If the Lender sells any of the Collateral upon credit, only the payments actually made by the purchaser and received by Lender are to be applied to the Obligations. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Lender may resell the collateral and Debtor shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale. The Lender shall account to the Debtor for any surplus realized upon such sales or other disposition and the Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency. The commencement of any action, legal or equitable, shall not affect the security interest of the Lender in the Collateral until the Obligations or any judgment(s) therefor are fully paid.







(f)           Lender may exercise an immediate right of setoff against any accounts or deposits the Debtor may have with Lender. This subsection shall not be construed as a limitation on any rights the Lender may have against Debtor, any other parties or any other accounts or deposits.







(g)           The Lender shall have, in addition to any other rights and remedies contained in this Agreement and any other agreements, instruments, and documents heretofore, now, or hereafter executed by the Debtor and delivered to the Lender all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code, all of which rights and remedies shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, to the extent permitted by law.







6.           General Provisions.







(a)           No delay or failure of the Lender in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall affect such right, power or privilege; nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power of privilege preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Lender are cumulative. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of the Lender of any breach or default under this Agreement or any such waiver of any provisions or condition of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.







(b)           The Debtor hereby confirms the Lender’s right of Lender’s lien and setoff, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver or prohibition of the Lender’s right thereto.
