ORIGINCLEAR, INC.

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

 

This Restricted Stock
Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of August 10, 2016, (the “Effective Date”)
by and between OriginClear, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and the person named below (the “Grantee”).

 

	Grantee:	T. Riggs Eckelberry
	Address:	 
	 	 
	Total Number of Shares to Be Granted:	60,000,000
	Fair Market Value of Shares on Effective Date:	 

 

1.Grant of Restricted
Stock. The Board of Directors of the Company, hereby awards to the Grantee, effective as of the Effective Date, the number
of shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, set forth above as restricted stock (the
“Restricted Stock”) on the following terms and conditions. As used in this Agreement, the term “Shares”
shall mean shares of Restricted Stock granted under this Agreement, and all securities received (i) in replacement of the Shares,
(ii) as a result of stock dividends or stock splits with respect to the Shares, (iii) in replacement of the Shares in a merger,
recapitalization, reorganization or similar corporate transaction; and (iv) pursuant to an adjustment to the number of Shares issuable
on any vesting date by virtue of Section 2.6 of this Agreement.

 

2.Eligibility
for Vesting and Issuance. The Shares of Restricted Stock shall become eligible for vesting, and shall vest and be issued
to the Grantee, upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.1 and 2.2 of this Agreement. The Restricted Shares
are forfeitable as set forth in Section 2.3 and Section 2.4 of this Agreement.

 

2.1Schedule of Company
Performance Goals. Shares of Restricted Stock shall become eligible for vesting (the “Eligible Restricted Shares”)
for each Company Performance Goal attained as follows:

 

	Restricted Shares	Company Performance Goals
	50 %	
        The Company’s consolidated gross revenue,
        calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, equals or exceeds $15,000,000 for
        the trailing twelve-month period as reported in the Company’s quarterly or annual financial statements filed with the U.S.
        Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC Reports”)

         

	50 %	The Company’s consolidated operating profit (Operating Profit = Operating Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold - Operating Expenses - Depreciation & Amortization), calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, equals or exceeds $1,500,000 for the trailing twelve-month period as reported in the Company’s SEC Reports.

 

    1 

     

    

 
 2.2Vesting and Issuance of Eligible Restricted Shares. After
a Company Performance Goal is achieved, as described in Section 2.1, Eligible Restricted Shares may become vested (“Vested
Shares”) and issued as follows:

 

(a) If the Company
is acquired in a transaction in which the Company’s common stockholders, on a fully diluted basis, receive consideration
in the form of cash and/or marketable securities traded on a national securities exchange or market in excess of $20,000,000 (a
“Transaction”), then the Eligible Restricted Shares shall be vested and issued at the closing of the Transaction;
provided, however, that if reasonably necessary to close the Transaction, the Grantee shall tender the Shares in exchange for
the consideration offered to the Company’s common stockholders in such Transaction; or

 

(b) If the Company’s
shares are uplisted to a national securities exchange (as defined below), then one year after the uplisting, the number of Eligible
Restricted Shares that may be vested and issued shall equal, but not exceed the following amounts each three-month period:

 

		(i)	If the Company’s shares are subsequently delisted and quoted on the over-the-counter market,
including the OTCQB, 1% of the shares of common stock outstanding as shown by the most recent SEC Report published by the Company,
or

 

		(ii)	If the Company’s shares are traded on a national securities exchange, the greater of (b)(i)
and the average weekly reported volume of trading in the common stock on a national securities exchange during the previous four
calendar weeks,.

 

For the purpose of
this Agreement, a “national securities exchange” shall mean the NASDAQ Capital Market, the NASDAQ Global Market, the
NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NYSE MKT or the NYSE and any successor to the foregoing.

 

Upon written agreement
between the Company and the Grantee, the terms and conditions of vesting and issuance in this Section 2.2 may be modified in whole
or in part. The Company and Grantee acknowledge that modifying the terms and conditions of vesting may result in adverse tax consequences
and agree to seek counsel from their respective tax advisors before agreeing to any modifications.

 

2.3Forfeiture.
The Grantee shall forfeit all vesting rights for any Eligible Restricted Shares that have not vested within ten (10) years of
the Effective Date.

 

2.4Termination. The Grant of Shares of Restricted Stock hereunder will not confer upon the Grantee
any right to continue in service with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. If the Grantee ceases to provide any
services to the Company or its affiliates as officer, director, employee or consultant, for any reason before the date that the
Company Performance Goals have been met (the “Termination Date”), then the Shares of Restricted Stock associated with
the unmet Company Performance Goals as of the date of such Termination Date shall immediately be forfeited as of the Termination
Date. The Eligible Restricted Shares associated with any Company Performance Goals met prior to the Termination Date shall continue
to vest in accordance with Sections 2.2 of this Agreement.

 

    2 

     

    

2.5Title to Shares.
The exact spelling of the name(s) under which Grantee shall take title to the Shares is:

Grantee desires
to take title to the Shares as follows:

☐
Individual, as separate property

☐
Husband and wife, as community property

☐
Joint Tenants

2.6Anti-Dilutive
Adjustment to Number of Vested Shares. The Company agrees that if the Fair Market Value of the Company’s common stock
on the date the Shares are vested (the “Vesting Date”) is less than the Fair Market Value of the Company’s common
stock on the Effective Date, then the number of Vested Shares issuable (assuming all conditions are satisfied) shall be increased
so that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Vested Shares issuable on the Vesting Date equals the aggregate Fair Market Value that
such number of Shares would have had on the Effective Date. The “Fair Market Value” shall equal the average
of the trailing ten (10) closing trade prices of the Company’s common stock on the last ten (10) trading days of the month
immediately prior to the date of determination as quoted on the public securities trading market on which the Company’s common
stock is then traded; provided, that if the Company’s common stock is not then publicly trading or quoted, Fair Market Value
shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith.

2.7Restrictions
on Resale of Shares. For the purpose of any transfer or sale of any Shares issuable under this Agreement whether under Rule
144 promulgated under the Securities Act, a registration statement under Form S-8 or any other basis, notwithstanding anything
contained herein, the number of Shares that may be transferred or sold shall not exceed the following amounts within any three
month period: (i) if the Company’s shares are quoted on the over-the-counter market, including the OTCQB, 1% of the shares
of common stock outstanding as shown by the most recent SEC Report published by the Company, , or (ii) if the Company’s shares
are traded on a national securities exchange, the greater of clause (i) and the average weekly reported volume of trading in the
common stock on a national securities exchange during the four calendar weeks immediately preceding the transfer or sale,.
