“Agreement”) is dated as of April 13, 2015, (the “Effective Date”) by and between Abtech Holdings,

WHEREAS, the Company
is offering to the Investor the opportunity to purchase a promissory note and warrants from the Company (the “Offering”),
and

 

WHEREAS, the Investor
desires to participate in the Offering and lend to the Company Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) (the “Loan
Amount”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Company
and the Investor desire to define the terms and conditions of such financing;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing premises and the covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.           Loan
Facility.

 

a.           The
Investor hereby irrevocably commits to loan to the Company an amount equal to the Loan Amount. The date that the Company receives
certified funds from the Investor for the Loan Amount will be the Funding Date. Within two (2) business days of the Funding Date,
the Company will issue to the Investor a Secured Promissory Note in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Secured
Note”) in the principal amount equal to the Loan Amount. The date of the Secured Note will be the Funding Date.

 

b.           The
term of this Agreement will begin on the Effective Date and end on the first to occur of (i) the completion of the financing transaction,
or (ii) 60 days from the Effective Date.

 

c.           Upon
funding of the Loan Amount, the Company agrees to issue to the Investor a warrant in the form of Exhibit B hereto, granting
Investor the right to purchase 55,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrant Shares”) (such
warrant, the “Warrant”; together with the Secured Note, the “Securities”). The Warrant will
have an exercise price equal to $0.298 per share (the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of issue
based on the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 5 trading days prior to the date of issuance) and
shall be exercisable for a five (5) year period.

 

d.           This
Agreement together with the Exhibits constitutes the “Loan Facility Documents”.

 

e.           Investor’s
commitment in this Agreement is based solely upon the information provided in the Loan Facility Documents and upon the Investor’s
own investigation as to the merits and risks of this transaction.

 

f.           The
Company will deliver originally executed instruments representing the Investor’s Secured Note and Warrant to each Investor
promptly following the Funding Date.

 

g.           The
Investor agrees to remit to the Company the Loan Amount by wire transfer pursuant to the wire instructions set forth on Schedule
1(g).

2.           Investor
Representations, Warranties and Agreements. The Investor hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants as follows (with the
understanding that the Company will rely on such representations and warranties in determining, among other matters, the suitability
of this investment for the Investor in order to comply with federal and state securities laws):

 

a.           In
connection with this transaction, the Investor has read this Agreement and the other Loan Facility Documents. The Investor acknowledges
that this Agreement is not intended to set forth all of the information which might be deemed pertinent by an investor who is considering
an investment in the Securities. The Investor further acknowledges that he/she/it is not relying on information other than such
information that has been provided directly by the Company. It being the responsibility of Investor (i) to determine or seek confirmation
of the accuracy of any information supplied by third parties about the Company, (ii) to determine what additional information he/she/it
desires to obtain in evaluating this investment and (iii) to obtain such information directly from the Company.

 

b.           This
offering is limited to persons who are “accredited investors,” as that term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and who have the financial means and the business, financial and investment
experience and acumen to conduct an investigation as tO the merits and risks of this investment. The Investor hereby represents
that he/SHE/IT has read, is familiar with and understands Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Act. The Investor is an “accredited
investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, AS AMENDED.

 

c.           The
Investor has had full access to all the information which the Investor (or the Investor’s advisor) considers necessary or
appropriate to make an informed decision with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. The Investor acknowledges
that the Company has made available to the Investor and the Investor’s advisors the opportunity to examine and copy any contract,
matter or information which the Investor considers relevant or appropriate in connection with this investment and to ask questions
and receive answers relating to any such matters including, without limitation, the financial condition, management, employees,
business, obligation, corporate books and records, budgets, business plans of and other matters relevant to the Company. To the
extent the Investor has not sought information regarding any particular matter, the Investor represents that he or she had and
has no interest in doing so and that such matters are not material to the Investor in connection with the transaction contemplated
by this Agreement. The Investor has accepted the responsibility for conducting the Investor’s own investigation and obtaining
for itself such information as to the foregoing and all other subjects as the Investor deems relevant or appropriate in connection
with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. The Investor is not relying on any representation, by the Company or otherwise,
other than that contained herein. The Investor acknowledges that no representation regarding projected financial performance or
a projected rate of return has been made to it by any party.

 

d.           The
Investor understands that the offering of the Securities has not been registered under the Act, in reliance on an exemption for
private offerings provided pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and that, as a result, the Securities and the Warrant Shares will
be “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Act and, accordingly, under Rule 144, that
the Securities and the Warrant Shares are all subject to a holding period unless such Securities and the Warrant Shares are subsequently
registered under the Act and qualified under any other applicable securities law or exemptions from such registration and qualification
are available. The Investor understands that the Company is under no obligation to register Securities and the Warrant Shares under
the Act or to register or qualify the Securities or the Warrant Shares under any other applicable securities law, or to comply
with any other exemption under the Act or any other securities law, and that the Investor has no right to require such registration.
The Investor further understands that the Offering of the Securities has not been qualified or registered under any foreign or
state securities laws in reliance upon the representations made and information furnished by the Investor herein and any other
documents delivered by the Investor in connection with this subscription; that the Offering has not been reviewed by the SEC or
by any foreign or state securities authorities; that the Investor’s rights to transfer the Securities will be restricted,
which includes restrictions against transfers unless the transfer is not in violation of the Act and applicable state securities
laws (including investor suitability standards); and that the Company may in its sole discretion require the Investor to provide
at Investor’s own expense an opinion of its counsel to the effect that any proposed transfer is not in violation of the Act
or any state securities laws.

e.           The
Investor is empowered and duly authorized to enter into this Credit Agreement which constitutes a valid and binding agreement of
the Investor enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms; and the person signing this Credit Agreement on behalf
of the Investor is empowered and duly authorized to do so.

 

f.            The
Investor acknowledges that there will be no public market for the Securities and that the Investor may not be able to sell or dispose
of them; the Investor has liquid assets sufficient to assure that the Purchase Price of the Securities will cause no undue financial
difficulties and that, after purchasing the Securities the Investor will be able to provide for any foreseeable current needs and
possible personal contingencies; the Investor is able to bear the risk of illiquidity and the risk of a complete loss of this investment.

 

g.           The
information in any documents delivered by the Investor in connection with this Agreement, including, but not limited to the Investor
Questionnaire attached as Exhibit C, is true, correct and complete in all respects as of the date hereof. The Investor agrees
promptly to notify the Company in writing of any change in such information after the date hereof.

 

h.           The
offering and sale of the Securities to the Investor were not made through any advertisement in printed media of general and regular
paid circulation, radio or television or any other form of advertisement, or as part of a general solicitation.

 

i.            The
Investor recognizes that an investment in the Securities involves significant risks, including the Risk Factors annexed hereto
as Exhibit D. Investor has read and understands such risks and that such risks, and others, can result in the loss of the
Investor’s entire investment in the Securities.

 

j.            The
Investor is acquiring the Securities, as principal, for the Investor’s own account for investment purposes only, and not
with a present intention toward or for the resale, distribution or fractionalization thereof, and no other person has a beneficial
interest in the Securities. The Investor has no present intention of selling or otherwise distributing or disposing of the Securities,
and understands that an investment in the Securities must be considered a long-term illiquid investment.

event, state of facts or development generally affecting the general political, economic or business conditions of the United States;

    	Exhibit 10.1 – Page 5

    	 

    

 

(ii)         Indemnification
Procedures. Each person entitled to indemnification under this Section 6 (an “Indemnified Party”) shall
give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each party required to provide indemnification under this Section 6 of any
action commenced against or by it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an Indemnifying
Party shall not release such Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have, otherwise than on account of this indemnity
agreement so long as such failure shall not have materially prejudiced the position of the Indemnifying Party. Upon such notification,
the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such action if it is a claim brought by a third party, and, if and after such
assumption, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to reimbursement of any expenses incurred by it in connection with such
action except as described below. In any such action, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary or (ii) the named parties in any such action (including any impleaded
parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would
be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing or conflicting interests between them. The Indemnifying Party shall not be
liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed
by such Indemnifying Party), but if settled with such consent or if there be final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying
Party shall indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any loss, damage or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

 

g.           Notices.
All notices, requests, demands, claims and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered by certified
or registered mail (first class postage pre-paid), guaranteed overnight delivery, or facsimile transmission if such transmission
is confirmed by delivery by certified or registered mail (first class postage pre-paid) or guaranteed overnight delivery, to the
following addresses and facsimile numbers (or to such other addresses or facsimile numbers which such party shall subsequently

A

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS SECURED
NOTE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE OR
SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW OR UPON ISSUANCE
OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY) THAT SUCH SALES ARE PERMISSIBLE UNDER RULE 144 OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION
FROM SUCH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS.

 

ABTECH HOLDINGS, INC.

SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE

 

	$250,000	 	Dated:    April 13, 2015
	(Original Principal Amount)	 	(“Issuance Date”)          

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED ABTECH
HOLDINGS, INC., a company organized under the laws of Nevada (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to Golden
Properties Ltd. (the “Payee”), or its registered assigns, the principal amount of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($250,000.00 USD) together with interest thereon calculated from the Issuance Date (“Interest Commencement Date”)
in accordance with the provisions of this Secured Promissory Note (as amended, modified and supplemented from time to time, this
“Secured Note”).

 

Certain capitalized terms are defined in Section
9 hereof.

 

1.            Payment
of Interest. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount of this Secured Note at a rate equal to seven and one-half
percent (7.50%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”) beginning on the Interest Commencement Date.  The Company
shall pay Payee all accrued interest on this Secured Note at maturity. Following any Event of Default (as defined below), interest
on this Secured Note shall accrue, to the extent permitted by law, at a rate equal to the lesser of fifteen percent (15%) per annum
or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, through the date on which such Event of Default ceases to exist. Interest shall
be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 365-day year. In the event that the Company exercises its first
extension option to extend the Maturity Date (as defined below) by an additional ninety (90) day period (the “First Extension
Option”; and the expiration of such ninety (90) day period the “First Extension Maturity Date”), the
interest rate shall increase to nine and one-half percent (9.5%) per annum on the unpaid principal on this Secured Note beginning
on the Maturity Date (as defined in Section 2).  In the event that the Company exercises its second extension option to extend
the First Extension Maturity Date by an additional ninety (90) day period (the “Second Extension Option”), the
interest rate shall increase to eleven and one-half percent (11.5%) per annum on the unpaid principal on this Secured Note beginning
on the First Extension Maturity Date.  Each of the First Extension Option and Second Extension Option may be referred to individually
as an “Extension Option” or collectively as the “Extension Options”. The Company may exercise
the First Extension Option by providing the Payee with written notice of such exercise fifteen (15) days prior to the Maturity
Date. The Company may exercise the Second Extension Option by providing the Payee with written notice of such exercise fifteen
(15) days prior to the First Extension Maturity Date. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, IN NO EVENT WILL THE APPLICABLE INTEREST RATE
ON THIS SECURED NOTE EVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RATE PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.  IF, BUT FOR THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, THE
INTEREST RATE ON THIS SECURED NOTE FOR ANY PERIOD WOULD EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RATE PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, THE INTEREST RATE
FOR SUCH PERIOD SHALL BE REDUCED TO THE MAXIMUM RATE PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. The number of Warrant Shares (as defined in
the Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant”)) that Payee shall be entitled to under the terms of the Warrant
issued by the Company to Payee in connection with the Offering shall be increased by ten percent (10%) for each Extension Option
exercised by the Company.

 

2.            Maturity
Date. The entire principal amount of this Secured Note and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable
in full in cash in immediately available funds on July 13, 2015 (such date, the “Maturity Date”).

 

3.            Prepayment.
The Company may prepay all or any portion of the outstanding principal and accrued interest of this Secured Note at any time and
from time to time without penalty or charge upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Lender provided that any accrued
but unpaid interest up to the date of prepayment must be paid in full at the time of prepayment.

4.            Seniority;
Additional Issuances of Debt and Equity. This Secured Note shall have a security interest in the Collateral (as defined in
Section 10), that is junior to the senior security interest of the secured notes issued by the Company in a $2,000,000 private
offering in March – May of 2014 (the “Senior Notes”), the security interest of the secured notes issued by the
Company in a $3,000,000 private offering in August – November of 2014 (the “Other Secured Notes”) and the convertible
secured notes issued by the Company in a $3,500,000 private offering in December 2013 (the “Convertible Notes’),. So
long as this Secured Note is outstanding, the Company shall not incur any additional indebtedness that is senior to this Secured
Note, whether with respect to interest, damages or upon liquidation or dissolution or otherwise, and the Company will not, and
will not permit any subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, incur any Lien on or with respect to any of its property or assets now
owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom.

 

(b)          So
long as this Secured Note is outstanding, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall, directly or indirectly, (i) redeem, purchase
or otherwise acquire any capital stock or set aside any monies for such a redemption, purchase or other acquisition or (ii) issue
any common stock or common stock equivalents with an effective price or a number of underlying shares that floats or resets or
otherwise varies or is subject to adjustment based (directly or indirectly) on market prices of the common stock.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall be permitted to, without the consent of the Payees: (i) incur additional unsecured
indebtedness provided, that such additional indebtedness is subordinate to this Secured Note, and (ii) issue additional shares
of its common stock.

 

5.            Method
of Payments.

 

(i)          Payment.
So long as a Payee or any of its nominees shall be the holder of this Secured Note, and notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere
in this Secured Note to the contrary, the Company will pay all sums for principal, interest, or otherwise becoming due on this
Secured Note held by the Payee or such nominee not later than 3:00 p.m. New York time, on the date such payment is due, in immediately
available funds, in accordance with the payment instructions that the Payee may designate in writing, without the presentation
or surrender of such Secured Note or the making of any notation thereon. Any payment made after 3:00 p.m. New York time, on a Business
Day will be deemed made on the next following Business Day. If the due date of any payment in respect of this Secured Note would
otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest
shall be payable on any principal so extended for the period of such extension. All amounts payable under this Secured Note shall
be paid free and clear of, and without reduction by reason of, any deduction, set-off or counterclaim. The Company will afford
the benefits of this Section to the Payee and to each other Person holding this Secured Note.

 

(ii)         Transfer
and Exchange. Upon surrender of any Secured Note for registration of transfer or for exchange to the Company at its principal
office, the Company at its sole expense will execute and deliver in exchange therefor a new Secured Note or Secured Notes, as the
case may be, as requested by the holder or transferee, which aggregate principal amount is equal to the unpaid principal amount
of such Secured Note, registered as such holder or transferee may request, dated so that there will be no loss of interest on the
Secured Note and otherwise of like tenor; provided that this Secured Note may not be transferred by Payee to any Person other than
Payee’s affiliates without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed). The issuance of new Secured Notes shall be made without charge to the holder(s) of the surrendered Secured Note for any
issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Company in connection with such issuance, provided that each Secured
Noteholder shall pay any transfer taxes associated therewith. The Company shall be entitled to regard the registered holder of
this Secured Note as the holder of the Secured Note so registered for all purposes until the Company or its agent, as applicable,
is required to record a transfer of this Secured Note on its register.

 

(iii)         Replacement.
Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Secured Note
and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of any Secured Note, upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory
to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon the surrender and cancellation of such Secured Note, the Company, at
its expense, will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Secured Note of like tenor and dated the date of such lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Secured Note.

 

6.            Covenants
of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees as follows:

 

(i)          Consolidation,
Merger and Sale. The Company will not (a) consolidate or merge with or into (or permit any subsidiary to consolidate or merge
with or into) any other person other than a subsidiary (where the pre-existing stockholders of the Company will own a majority
of the voting stock of the surviving entity), or (b) sell or otherwise dispose of (or permit any subsidiary to sell or otherwise
dispose of) a material portion of its property or assets in one or more transactions to, any other person or entity or enter into
(or permit any subsidiary to enter into) an agreement with respect to any of the foregoing without the prior consent of the Payee.

from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously
with such issue or otherwise specified herein).

 

		3.	Exercise of Warrant.

 

		a.	The Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time by
delivering (which may be by facsimile) to the offices of the Company or any transfer agent for the Common Stock this Warrant, together
with a Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto specifying the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this
Warrant is being exercised, together with payment in cash to the Company of the Exercise Price therefor, or

 

    	Exhibit 10.1 – Page 14

    	 

    

 

		b.	In the event that the Warrant is not exercised in full, the number of Warrant Shares shall be reduced
by the number of such Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercised and/or surrendered, and the Company, if requested by Holder
and at its expense, shall within three (3) Trading Days (as defined below) issue and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like
tenor in the name of the Holder or as the Holder (upon payment by Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, reflecting
such adjusted Warrant Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon exercise of any portion of this Warrant
in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless
such Holder is purchasing the full amount of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant. The Holder and the Company shall maintain
records showing the number of Warrant Shares so purchased hereunder and the dates of such purchases or shall use such other method,
reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Warrant upon each such exercise.
The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant or a new Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions
of this Section, following exercise of any portion of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares which may be purchased upon exercise
of this Warrant may be less than the number of Warrant Shares set forth on the face hereof. Certificates for shares of Common Stock
purchased hereunder shall be delivered to the Holder hereof within three (3) Trading Days after the date on which this Warrant
shall have been exercised as aforesaid. The Holder may withdraw its Notice of Exercise at any time if the Company fails to timely
deliver the relevant certificates to the Holder as provided in this Agreement. A Notice of Exercise shall be deemed sent on the
date of delivery if delivered before 8:00 p.m. New York Time on such date, or the day following such date if delivered after 8:00
p.m. New York Time; provided that the Company is only obligated to deliver Warrant Shares against delivery of the Exercise Price
from the holder hereof and, if the Holder is purchasing the full amount of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant, surrender
of this Warrant (or appropriate affidavit and/or indemnity in lieu thereof). In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing
the Warrant Shares issuable upon conversion of this Warrant, provided the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the
Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, upon request of the Holder, the
Company shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise
to the Holder, by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian
(“DWAC”) system. The time periods for delivery described above shall apply to the electronic transmittals through
the DWAC system. The Company agrees to coordinate with DTC to accomplish this objective.

 

		c.	The term “Trading Day” means (x) if the Common Stock is not listed on the New
York or American Stock Exchange but sale prices of the Common Stock are reported on NASDAQ National Market or another automated
quotation system, a day on which trading is reported on the principal automated quotation system on which sales of the Common Stock
are reported, (y) if the Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange, a day on which there
is trading on such stock exchange, or (z) if the foregoing provisions are inapplicable, a day on which quotations are reported
by National Quotation Bureau Incorporated. The trading exchange or market on which the Company’s Common Stock is listed shall
be referred to as the “Principal Market”.

 

The Company’s obligations
to issue and deliver Warrant Shares upon an exercise in accordance with Section 3 above are absolute and unconditional, irrespective
of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery
of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination,
or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged
violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such
obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s
right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares
of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

		4.	No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares
shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of issuance of a fractional share upon any exercise hereunder, the Company
will either round up to nearest whole number of shares or pay the cash value of that fractional share, which cash value shall be
calculated on the basis of the average closing price of the Common Stock during the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding
the date of exercise.

 

    	Exhibit 10.1 – Page 15

    	 

    

 

		5.	Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense
in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates
shall be issued in the name of the Holder of this Warrant or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder of this Warrant;
provided, however, that in the event certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than
the name of the Holder of this Warrant, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form
attached hereto duly executed by the Holder hereof; and provided further, that the Company shall not be required
to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of any Warrant certificates or
any certificates for the Warrant Shares other than the issuance of a Warrant certificate to the Holder in connection with the Holder’s
surrender of a Warrant Certificate upon the exercise of all or less than all of the Warrants evidenced thereby.

 

		6.	Closing of Books. The Company will at no time close its shareholder books or records in
any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.

 

		7.	No Rights as Shareholder until Exercise. Subject to Section 11 of this Warrant and the provisions
of any other written agreement between the Company and the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends
or be deemed the holder of Warrant Shares or any other securities of the Company that may at any time be issuable on the exercise
hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Purchaser, as such, any of the rights
of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders
at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of
stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value, or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance or
otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until this Warrant shall
have been exercised as provided herein. However, at the time of the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 3 hereof, the
Warrant Shares so purchased hereunder shall be deemed to be issued to such Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the
close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised.

 

		8.	Assignment and Transfer of Warrant. This Warrant may be assigned by the surrender of this
Warrant and the Assignment Form annexed hereto duly executed at the office of the Company (or such other office or agency of the
Company or its transfer agent as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder hereof at the address
of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company); provided, however, that this Warrant may not be resold or
otherwise transferred except (a) in a transaction registered under the Act, or (b) in a transaction pursuant to an exemption, if
available, from registration under the Act and whereby, if reasonably requested by the Company, an opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Company is obtained by the Holder of this Warrant to the effect that the transaction is so exempt.

 

		9.	Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant; Exchange. The Company represents warrants
and covenants that (a) upon receipt by the Company of evidence and/or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of any Warrant or stock certificate representing the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction,
of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and (b) upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated,
the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of
this Warrant or stock certificate, without any charge therefor. This Warrant is exchangeable at any time for an equal aggregate
number of Warrants of different denominations, as requested by the holder surrendering the same, or in such denominations as may
be requested by the Holder following determination of the Exercise Price. No service charge will be made for such registration
or transfer, exchange or reissuance.

 

		10.	Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action
or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then such action may
be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a legal holiday.

 

		11.	Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The number of and kind of securities
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth
in this Section 11.

 

		a.	Subdivisions, Combinations, Stock Dividends and other Issuances. If the Company shall, at
any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on any equity
securities (including instruments or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such equity securities) in shares of Common
Stock (ii) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combine outstanding Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares, then the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding before such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 11(a) shall become effective immediately after
the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective
immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination. The number of shares which may be purchased hereunder
shall be increased proportionately to any reduction in Exercise Price pursuant to this paragraph 11(a), so that after such adjustments
the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased number of shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price
in effect just prior to such adjustments.

 

    	Exhibit 10.1 – Page 16

    	 

    

 

		b.	Other Distributions. If at any time after the date hereof the Company distributes to holders
of its Common Stock, other than as part of its dissolution, liquidation or the winding up of its affairs, any shares of its capital
stock, any evidence of indebtedness or any of its assets (other than Common Stock), then the number of Warrant Shares for which
this Warrant is exercisable shall be increased to equal: (i) the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to such event, (ii) multiplied by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value (as defined
below) per share of Common Stock on the record date for the dividend or distribution, and (B) the denominator of which shall be
the Fair Market Value price per share of Common Stock on the record date for the dividend or distribution minus the amount allocable
to one share of Common Stock of the value (as jointly determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and the
Holder) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, other securities or property, so distributed. For
purposes of this Warrant, “Fair Market Value” shall equal the  average closing trading price of the Common
Stock on the Principal Market for the five (5) Trading Days preceding the date of determination or, if the Common Stock is not
listed or admitted to trading on any Principal Market, and the average price cannot be determined as contemplated above, the Fair
Market Value of the Common Stock shall be as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors and
the Holder. If the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock cannot be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors and the
Holder after five (5) business days, such determination shall be made by a third party appraisal firm mutually agreeable by the
Board of Directors and the Holder, at the expense of the Company (the “Independent Appraiser”). The fair market
value as determined by the Independent Appraiser shall be final. The Exercise Price shall be reduced to equal: (i) the Exercise
Price in effect immediately before the occurrence of any event (ii) multiplied by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the
number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately before the adjustment, and (B) the denominator of which
is the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the adjustment.

 

		c.	Merger, etc. If at any time after the date hereof there shall be a merger or consolidation
of the Company with or into or a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another entity, then the
Holder shall be entitled to receive upon or after such transfer, merger or consolidation becoming effective, and upon payment of
the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares or other securities or property of the Company or of the successor corporation
resulting from such merger or consolidation, which would have been received by the Holder for the shares of stock subject to this
Warrant had this Warrant been exercised just prior to such transfer, merger or consolidation becoming effective or to the applicable
record date thereof, as the case may be. The Company will not merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation, or sell
or otherwise transfer its property, assets and business substantially as an entirety to another corporation, unless the corporation
resulting from such merger or consolidation (if not the Company), or such transferee corporation, as the case may be, shall expressly
assume in writing the due and punctual performance and observance of each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be
performed and observed by the Company.

 

		d.	Reclassification, etc. If at any time after the date hereof there shall be a reorganization
or reclassification of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number
of securities of any other class or classes, then the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant,
during the period specified herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares or other securities
or property resulting from such reorganization or reclassification, which would have been received by the Holder for the shares
of stock subject to this Warrant had this Warrant at such time been exercised.

 

		e.	Exercise of Extension Option. If at any time after the date hereof the Company exercises
an extension option as described in that certain promissory note entered into in connection with the Notes and the Credit Agreement,
the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased by ten percent (10%) for each such extension option exercised.

 

    	Exhibit 10.1 – Page 17

    	 

    

 

		12.	Voluntary Adjustment by the Company. The Company may at its option, at any time during the
term of this Warrant, reduce but not increase the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate
by the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

		13.	Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or number or kind of securities
or other property purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted, the Company, at its expense,
shall promptly mail to the Holder of this Warrant a notice setting forth the number of Warrant Shares (and other securities or
property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares after such adjustment and
setting forth the computation of such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

		14.	Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that during the period this Warrant is outstanding
and exercisable, it will reserve and keep available from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares
to provide solely for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any and all purchase rights under this Warrant. The
Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with
the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise
of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that
such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law, regulation, or rule of any applicable
market or exchange.

 

		15.	Compliance with Securities Laws. The Holder hereof acknowledges that the Warrant Shares
acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered (or if no exemption from registration exists), will have restrictions
upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws. Each certificate representing the Warrant Shares issued to the Holder
upon exercise (if not registered, for resale or otherwise, or if no exemption from registration exists) will bear substantially
the following legend: THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED, TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED
OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM,
OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS.

 

		16.	Purpose of Warrant Shares. Without limiting the Purchaser’s right to transfer, assign
or otherwise convey this Warrant or Warrant Shares in compliance with all applicable securities laws, the Holder of this Warrant,
by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired
solely for the Purchaser’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and that the Purchaser will not offer, sell
or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof except under circumstances that will
not result in a violation of applicable federal and state securities laws.

 

		17.	Miscellaneous.

 

		a.	Issue Date; Choice of Law; Venue; Jurisdiction. The provisions of this Warrant shall be
construed and shall be given effect in all respects as if it had been issued and delivered by the Company on the date hereof. This
Warrant shall be binding upon any successors or assigns of the Company. This Warrant will be construed and enforced in accordance
with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, except for matters arising under the Act, without reference to principles
of conflicts of law. Each of the parties consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and State Courts sitting in the
County of New York in the State of New York in connection with any dispute arising under this Warrant and hereby waives, to the
maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on forum non conveniens or venue,
to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdiction.

 

		b.	Modification and Waiver. This Warrant and any provisions hereof may be changed, waived,
discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the same is sought.
Any amendment effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon the Purchaser, each future holder of this Warrant
and the Company. No waivers of, or exceptions to, any term, condition or provision of this Warrant, in any one or more instances,
shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition or provision.

 

    	Exhibit 10.1 – Page 18

    	 

    

 

		c.	Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall
be in writing by facsimile, mail or personal delivery and shall be effective upon actual receipt of such notice. The addresses
for such communications shall be to the addresses as shown on the books of the Company or to the Company at the address set forth
in the Loan Facility Documents. A party may from time to time change the address to which notices to it are to be delivered or
mailed hereunder by notice in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.

 

		d.	Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in
such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant is held to be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Warrant in such jurisdiction or affect
the validity, legality or enforceability of any provision in any other jurisdiction, but this Warrant shall be reformed, construed
and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

 

		e.	Specific Enforcement. The Company and the Holder acknowledge and agree that irreparable
damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Warrant were not performed in accordance with their specific
terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to
prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Warrant and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being
in addition to any other remedy to which either of them may be entitled by law or equity.

 

		f.	Counterparts/Execution. This Warrant may be executed by facsimile and in any number of counterparts,
and each such counterpart hereof shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute
one agreement. Execution and delivery of this Warrant by facsimile transmission (including delivery of documents in Adobe PDF format)
shall constitute execution and delivery of this Warrant for all purposes, with the same force and effect as execution and delivery
of an original manually signed copy hereof.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the
Company has caused this Warrant to be executed by its officers thereunto duly authorized.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in this Offering is extremely
risky. You should carefully consider the risks, in addition to the other information presented in this Memorandum before deciding
to purchase the Securities being offered by AbTech Holdings Inc. If any of the following risks actually materialize, our business
and prospects could be seriously harmed and you could lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties described
below are not exclusive and investors should also review the Company’s public filings. The Company’s ticker symbol
is (OTCBB: ABHD).

 

Risks Relating to this Offering

 

No Anti-dilution protection

 

 

The Notes and Warrants contain no anti-dilution
provisions, which means that the Company can issue additional shares of common stock and that such additional issuances will have
a dilutive effect on the Secured Notes and Warrants issued in this Offering.

 

Use of Proceeds of this Offering

 

Our management will have considerable discretion
in how we use the net proceeds from this Offering, and no representation can be made that use of proceeds will generate material
revenues or materially improve our ability to further develop our product. We intend to use the net proceeds for working capital,
general corporate purposes and for the repayment of certain indebtedness. Even if we generate material revenues, we currently
plan to seek additional capital following this Offering. No assurance can be given that any source of additional cash will be
available to us. If no source of additional cash is available to us, we may have to significantly reduce the scope of our operations.

 

No Independent Valuation 

 

The Company has not obtained an independent
opinion regarding the valuation of the Company or the Securities, nor has there been any legal, investment banking, or other diligence
in connection with the valuation of the Company or the Securities. Prospective investors must rely on their own business and investment
background and their own investigation of the Company and its proposed business in determining whether to invest in the Company
and the Secured Notes.

 

Private Offering Exemption

 

This Offering is being made in reliance on
an exemption from registration contained in the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and on similar exemptions
from the qualification provisions of applicable state securities laws. No regulatory authority has reviewed the terms of this
Offering, the disclosure of risks and the fairness of the terms of the Offering or the business of the Company. Prospective investors
must also recognize that they do not necessarily have any of the protections afforded by applicable federal and state securities
laws as may be provided in registered and/or qualified offerings and therefore must judge the fairness of the terms of this Offering
and the adequacy and accuracy of this Memorandum without the benefit of prior review by any regulatory agency.

 

Transaction Fees & Expenses

 

This Offering involves substantial fees and
expenses which will be paid out of the proceeds of the Offering thus reducing the amount of proceeds available to the Company.

 

Risks Relating to Our
Business

 

Our ability to generate revenue to support
our operations is uncertain.

 

We are in the early stage
of our business and have a limited history of generating revenues. We have a limited operating history upon which you can evaluate
our potential for future success, and we are subject to the additional risks affecting early-stage businesses. Rather than relying
on historical information, financial or otherwise, to evaluate our Company, you should evaluate our Company in light of your assessment
of the growth potential of our business and the expenses, delays, uncertainties, and complications typically encountered by early-stage
businesses, many of which will be beyond our control. Early-stage businesses in rapidly evolving markets commonly face risks,
such as the following:

 

    	Exhibit 10.1 – Page 27

    	 

    

 

•      unanticipated
problems, delays, and expenses relating to the development and implementation of their business plans;

•      operational
difficulties;

•      lack
of sufficient capital;

•      competition
from more advanced enterprises; and

•      uncertain
revenue generation.

 

Our limited operating history may make
it difficult for us to forecast accurately our operating results.

 

Our planned expense levels
are, and will continue to be, based in part on our expectations, which are difficult to forecast accurately based on our stage
of development and factors outside of our control. We may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any
unexpected developments. Further, business development expenses may increase significantly as we expand operations. To the extent
that any unexpected expenses precede, or are not rapidly followed by, a corresponding increase in revenue, our business, operating
results, and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

 

We have a history of losses that may continue,
which may negatively impact our ability to achieve our business objectives.

 

We have incurred net losses
since our inception. We cannot assure you that we can achieve or sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.
There can be no assurance that future operations will be profitable. We may not achieve our business objectives and the failure
to achieve such goals would have an adverse impact on us.

 

Our success depends on our ability to expand,
operate, and manage successfully our operations.

 

Our success depends on
our ability to expand, operate, and manage successfully our operations. Our ability to expand successfully will depend upon a
number of factors, including the following:

 

•      signing
with strategic partners, dominant in their field

•      the
continued development of our business;

•      the
hiring, training, and retention of additional personnel;

•      the
ability to enhance our operational, financial, and management systems;

•      the
availability of adequate financing;

•      competitive
factors;

•      general
economic and business conditions; and

•      the
ability to implement methods for revenue generation.

 

If we are unable to obtain additional capital,
our business operations could be harmed.

 

The development and expansion
of our business will require additional funds. In the future, we expect to seek additional equity or debt financing to provide
capital for our Company. Such financing may not be available or may not be available on satisfactory terms. If financing is not
available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to expand our operations. While debt financing will enable us to expand our
business more rapidly than we otherwise would be able to do, debt financing increases expenses and we must repay the debt regardless
of our operating results. Future equity financings could result in dilution to our stockholders.

 

The recent global financial
crisis, which has included, among other things, significant reductions in available capital and liquidity from banks and other
providers of credit, substantial reductions or fluctuations in equity and currency values worldwide, and concerns that the worldwide
economy may enter into a prolonged recessionary period, may make it difficult for us to raise additional capital or obtain additional
credit, when needed, on acceptable terms or at all.

 

Our inability to obtain
adequate capital resources, whether in the form of equity or debt, to fund our business and growth strategies, may require us
to delay, scale back, or eliminate some or all of our operations, which may adversely affect our financial results and ability
to operate as a going concern.

 

You may suffer significant dilution if
we raise additional capital.

 

If we raise additional
capital, we expect it will be necessary for us to issue additional equity or convertible debt securities. If we issue equity or
convertible debt securities, the price at which we offer such securities may not bear any relationship to our value, the net tangible
book value per share may decrease, the percentage ownership of our current stockholders would be diluted, and any equity securities
we may issue in such offering or upon conversion of convertible debt securities issued in such offering, may have rights, preferences,
or privileges with respect to liquidation, dividends, redemption, voting, and other matters that are senior to or more advantageous
than our common stock.

 

    	Exhibit 10.1 – Page 28

    	 

    

 

If we obtain debt financing, we will face
risks associated with financing our operations.

 

If we obtain debt financing,
we will be subject to the normal risks associated with debt financing, including the risk that our cash flow will be insufficient
to meet required payments of principal and interest and the risk that we will not be able to renew, repay, or refinance our debt
when it matures or that the terms of any renewal or refinancing will not be as favorable as the existing terms of that debt. If
we enter into secured lending facilities and are unable to pay our obligations to our secured lenders, they could proceed against
any or all of the collateral securing our indebtedness to them.

 

Our independent auditors have expressed
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing.

 

In their report dated
March 29, 2013, our independent auditors stated that our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 were
prepared assuming that the Company would continue as a going concern. Its ability to continue as a going concern is an issue raised
as a result of recurring losses from operations. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to obtain
necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities. Our continued
net operating losses increase the difficulty in meeting such goals and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove
successful.

 

We depend on our officers and key employees
who would be difficult to replace, and our business will likely be harmed if we lose their services or cannot hire additional
qualified personnel.

 

Our success depends substantially
on the efforts and abilities of our officers and other key employees. AbTech Industries has employment agreements with its chief
executive officer, its chief financial officer, and certain key employees, but we do not think those agreements limit any employee’s
ability to terminate his or her employment. We have key person life insurance on Glenn R. Rink, our president, chief executive
officer and a director; we do not have key person life insurance covering any of our other officers or other key employees. The
loss of services of one or more of our officers or key employees or the inability to add key personnel could have a material adverse
effect on our business. Competition for experienced personnel in our industry is substantial. Our success depends in part on our
ability to attract, hire, and retain qualified personnel. In addition, if any of our officers or other key employees join a competitor
or form a competing company, we may lose some of our customers.

 

We depend on the recruitment and retention
of qualified personnel, and our failure to attract and retain such personnel could seriously harm our business.

 

Due to the specialized
nature of our business, our future performance is highly dependent upon the continued services of current and future key personnel
and managers. Our future business depends upon our ability to attract and retain qualified engineering, manufacturing, marketing,
sales, and management personnel for our operations. We may also have to compete with the other companies in our industry in the
recruitment and retention of qualified managerial and technical employees. Competition for personnel is intense and confidentiality
and non-compete agreements may restrict our ability to hire individuals employed by other companies. Therefore, we may not be
successful in attracting or retaining qualified personnel. Our failure to attract and retain qualified personnel could seriously
harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Furthermore, we may not be able to accurately forecast our
needs for additional personnel, which could adversely affect our ability to grow.

 

The effects of the recent global economic
downturn may adversely impact our business, operating results, or financial condition. 

 

The recent global economic
downturn has caused disruptions and volatility in global financial markets and increased rates of default and bankruptcy and has
impacted levels of consumer and commercial spending. We are unable to predict the duration or severity of the current global economic
and financial crisis. There can be no assurance that any actions we may take in response to further deterioration in general economic
and financial conditions will be sufficient. A protracted continuation or worsening of the global economic downturn or disruptions
in the financial markets could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

 

If we do not achieve broad market acceptance
of our clean technology products and services, we may not be successful.

 

Although our clean technology
products and services will serve existing needs, our delivery of these products and services is unique and subject to broad market
acceptance. As is typical of any new product or service, the demand for and market acceptance of these products and services are
highly uncertain. We cannot assure you that any of our products and services will be commercialized on a widespread basis. The
commercial acceptance of our products and services may be affected by a number of factors, including the willingness of municipalities
and other commercial and industrial entities to use our clean technology products and services to control the quality of water
and other fluids. If the markets for our products and services fail to develop on a meaningful basis, if they develop more slowly
than we anticipate, or if our products and services fail to achieve sufficient market acceptance, our business and future results
of operations could be adversely affected.

 

    	Exhibit 10.1 – Page 29

    	 

    

 

Because our clean technology products may
be designed to provide a solution which competes with existing methods, we are likely to face resistance to change, which could
impede our ability to commercialize this business.

 

Our clean technology products
may be designed to provide a solution to environmental challenges created by contaminated water and other fluids. Currently, large
and well capitalized companies provide services in these areas. These competitors have strong relationships with their customers’
personnel, and there is a natural reluctance for businesses to change to new technologies, particularly in such industries as
the oil and gas industries where our future products may be relevant. This reluctance is increased when potential customers make
significant capital investments in competing technologies. Because of these obstacles, we may face substantial barriers to commercializing
our business.

 

If we experience rapid growth and we are
not able to manage this growth successfully, this inability to manage the growth could adversely affect our business, financial
condition, and results of operations.

 

Rapid growth places a
significant strain on our financial, operational, and managerial resources. While we engage in strategic and operational planning
to adequately manage anticipated growth, there can be no assurance that we will be able to implement and subsequently improve
operations and financial systems successfully and in a timely manner to fully manage our growth. There can be no assurance that
we will be able to manage our growth and any inability to successfully manage growth could materially adversely affect our business,
financial condition, and results of operation.

 

We have no experience in manufacturing
or assembling products on a large scale basis, and if we do not develop adequate manufacturing and assembly processes and capabilities
to do so in a timely manner, we may be unable to achieve our growth and profitability objectives.

 

We have no experience
manufacturing or assembling products on a large scale. We do not know whether our current or future manufacturing arrangements
will be able to develop efficient, low-cost manufacturing capabilities and processes that will enable us to meet the quality,
price, engineering, design and production standards, or production volumes required to successfully mass market such products.
Even if we are successful in developing manufacturing capabilities and processes, we do not know whether we will do so in time
to meet our product commercialization schedule or to satisfy the requirements of our target market. Our failure to develop these
manufacturing processes and capabilities, if necessary, in a timely manner could prevent us from achieving our growth and profitability
objectives.

 

If we fail to continue to develop or acquire
new products, adapt to rapid and significant technological change, and respond to introductions of new products, we will not be
competitive.

 

Our growth strategy includes
significant investment in and expenditures for product development. We intend to sell clean technology products, primarily in
the water clean-up sector, which are characterized by rapid and significant technological changes, frequent new product and service
introductions, and enhancements and evolving industry standards. Without the timely introduction of new products, services, and
enhancements, our products and services may become technologically obsolete over time, in which case our revenue and operating
results would suffer.

 

In addition, our competitors
may adapt more quickly to new technologies and changes in customers’ requirements than we can. The products that we are
currently developing or those that we will develop in the future, may not be technologically feasible or accepted by the marketplace,
and our products or technologies could become uncompetitive or obsolete.

 

The market for our products is highly competitive,
and there can be no assurance that competitors will not emerge in the near to medium term with comparable products or technologies.

 

The markets for our products
and services are expected to remain highly competitive. While we believe our products are unique and have, or will have, adequate
patent protection for the underlying technologies, or unique trade secrets, there can be no assurance that competitors will not
emerge in the near to medium term with comparable products or technologies. There are a number of large companies involved in
the same businesses as us, but with larger more established sales and marketing organizations, technical staff, and financial
resources. We may establish marketing and distribution partnerships or alliances with some of these companies, but there can be
no assurance that such alliances will be formed.

 

Our business may become substantially dependent
on contracts that are awarded through competitive bidding processes.

 

We may sell a significant
portion of our products pursuant to contracts that are subject to competitive bidding, including contracts with municipal authorities.
Competition for, and negotiation and award of, contracts present varied risks, including, but not limited to:

 

•      investment
of substantial time and resources by management for the preparation of bids and proposals with no assurance that a contract will
be awarded to us;

 

•      the
requirement to certify as to compliance with numerous laws (for example, socio-economic, small business, and domestic preference)
for which a false or incorrect certification can lead to civil and criminal penalties;

 

    	Exhibit 10.1 – Page 30

    	 

    

 

•      the
need to estimate accurately the resources and cost structure required to service a contract; and

 

•      the
expenses and delays that we might suffer if our competitors protest a contract awarded to us, including the potential that the
contract may be terminated and a new bid competition may be conducted.

 

If we are unable to win
contracts awarded through the competitive bidding process, we may not be able to operate in the market for products and services
that are provided under those contracts for a number of years. If we are unable to consistently win new contract awards over any
extended period, or if we fail to anticipate all of the costs and resources that will be required to secure and perform such contract
awards, our growth strategy and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely
affected.

 

We will sell products and services to companies
in industries which tend to be extremely cyclical; downturns in those industries would adversely affect our results of operations.

 

The growth and profitability
of our business will depend on sales to industries that are subject to cyclical downturns. Slowdowns in these industries may adversely
affect sales by our businesses, which in turn would adversely affect our revenues and results of operations. In particular, our
products may be sold to and used by the oil and gas industry, which historically has realized significant shifts in activity and
spending due to fluctuations in commodity prices. Our revenues may be dependent upon spending by oil and gas producers; therefore,
a reduction in spending by producers may have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial conditions, and results of
operations.

 

The industries in which we may sell our
products are heavily regulated and costs associated with such regulation could reduce our profitability. 

 

Federal, state, and local
authorities extensively regulate the stormwater and oil and gas industries, which are primary industries in which we may sell
our products and offer our services. Legislation and regulations affecting the industries are under constant review for amendment
or expansion. State and local authorities regulate various aspects of stormwater and oil and gas activities that ultimately affect
how customers use our products and how we develop and market our products. The overall regulatory burden on the industries increases
the cost of doing business, which, in turn, decreases profitability.

 

International sales are
also subject to rules and regulations promulgated by regulatory bodies within foreign jurisdictions, and there can be no assurance
that such foreign regulatory bodies will not adopt laws or regulatory requirements that could adversely affect our Company.

 

If chemical companies engage in predatory
pricing, we may lose customers, which could materially and adversely affect us.

 

Municipalities and other
commercial and industrial entities traditionally have used chemicals to control the quality of water and other fluids. The chemical
companies represent a significant competitive factor. The chemical companies who supply chemicals to such municipalities and other
commercial and industrial entities may, in order to maintain their business relationship, drastically reduce their price and seek
to undercut the pricing at which we can realistically charge for our products and services. While predatory pricing that is designed
to drive us out of business may be illegal under the United States anti-trust and other laws, we may lose customers as a result
of any future predatory pricing and be required to file lawsuits against any companies who engage in such improper tactics. Any
such litigation may be very expensive which will further impact us and affect their financial condition. As a result, predatory
pricing by chemical companies could materially and adversely affect us.

 

We are, or in the future may be, subject
to substantial regulation related to quality standards applicable to our manufacturing and quality processes. Our failure to comply
with applicable quality standards could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

 

The Environmental Protection
Agency regulates the registration, manufacturing, and sales and marketing of products in our industry, and those of our distributors
and partners, in the United States. Significant government regulation also exists in overseas markets. Compliance with applicable
regulatory requirements is subject to continual review and is monitored through periodic inspections and other review and reporting
mechanisms.

 

Failure by us or our partners
to comply with current or future governmental regulations and quality assurance guidelines could lead to temporary manufacturing
shutdowns, product recalls or related field actions, product shortages, or delays in product manufacturing. Efficacy or safety
concerns and/or manufacturing quality issues with respect to our products or those of our partners could lead to product recalls,
fines, withdrawals, declining sales, and/or our failure to successfully commercialize new products or otherwise achieve revenue
growth.

 

    	Exhibit 10.1 – Page 31

    	 

    

 

If a natural or man-made disaster strikes
our or a third-party’s manufacturing facility that we may use, we may be unable to manufacture our products for a substantial
amount of time and our sales and profitability will decline.

 

The manufacturing facility
and manufacturing equipment we will use to produce our products will be costly to replace and could require substantial lead-time
to repair or replace. Our facility or a third-party’s facility that we use may be affected by natural or man-made disasters.
In the event they were affected by a disaster, we would be forced to set up alternative production capacity, or rely on third-party
manufacturers to whom we would have to disclose our trade secrets. Although we intend to possess insurance for damage to our property
and the disruption of our business from casualties, such insurance may not be sufficient to cover all of our potential losses,
may not continue to be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all, and may not address the marketing and goodwill consequences
of our inability to provide products for an extended period of time.

 

We may decide to outsource manufacturing
in the future. Dependence on contract manufacturing and outsourcing other portions of our supply chain may adversely affect our
ability to bring products to market and damage our reputation. 

 

As part of our efforts
to streamline operations and to cut costs in the future, we may decide to outsource aspects of our manufacturing processes and
other functions. If our contract manufacturers or other outsourcers fail to perform their obligations in a timely manner or at
satisfactory quality levels, our ability to bring products to market and our reputation could suffer. For example, during a market
upturn, our contract manufacturers may be unable to meet our demand requirements, which may preclude us from fulfilling our customers’
orders on a timely basis. The ability of these manufacturers to perform is largely outside of our control. Additionally, outsourcing
may take place in developing countries and, as a result, may be subject to geopolitical uncertainty.

 

The success of our businesses will depend
on our ability to effectively develop and implement strategic business initiatives.

 

We are currently implementing
various strategic business initiatives. In connection with the development and implementation of these initiatives, we will incur
additional expenses and capital expenditures to implement the initiatives. The development and implementation of these initiatives
also requires management to divert a portion of its time from day-to-day operations. These expenses and diversions could have
a significant impact on our operations and profitability, particularly if the initiatives prove to be unsuccessful. Moreover,
if we are unable to implement an initiative in a timely manner, or if those initiatives turn out to be ineffective or are executed
improperly, our business and operating results would be adversely affected.

 

Failure to successfully reduce our current
or future production costs may adversely affect our financial results.

 

A significant portion
of our strategy will rely upon our ability to successfully rationalize and improve the efficiency of our operations. In particular,
our strategy relies on our ability to reduce our production costs in order to remain competitive. If we are unable to continue
to successfully implement cost reduction measures, especially in a time of a worldwide economic downturn, or if these efforts
do not generate the level of cost savings that we expect going forward or result in higher than expected costs, there could be
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

If we are unable to make necessary capital
investments or respond to pricing pressures, our business may be harmed.

 

In order to remain competitive,
we need to invest in research and development, manufacturing, customer service and support, and marketing. From time to time,
we may have to adjust the prices of our products and services to remain competitive. We may not have available sufficient financial
or other resources to continue to make investments necessary to maintain our competitive position.

 

Failure to obtain sufficient supply of
component materials to conduct our business may have an adverse effect on our production and revenue targets.

 

Our component and materials’
suppliers may fail to meet our needs. We intend to manufacture our products using materials and components procured from a limited
number of third-party suppliers. We do not currently have long-term supply contracts with our suppliers. This generally serves
to reduce our commitment risk, but does expose us to supply risk and to price increases that we may have to pass on to our customers.
In some cases, supply shortages and delays in delivery may result in curtailed production or delays in production, which can contribute
to an increase in inventory levels and loss of profit. We expect that shortages and delays in deliveries of some components will
occur from time to time. If we are unable to obtain sufficient components on a timely basis, we may experience manufacturing delays,
which could harm our relationships with current or prospective customers and reduce our sales. We may also not be able to obtain
competitive pricing for some of our supplies compared to our competitors. We also cannot assure that the component and materials
from domestic suppliers will be of similar quality or quantity as those imported component and materials, which may lead to rejections
of component and materials by our customers. In the event the domestic component and materials do not perform as well as the imported
component and materials or do not perform at all, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely
affected.

 

    	Exhibit 10.1 – Page 32

    	 

    

 

We have limited product distribution experience
and we expect to rely on third parties who may not successfully sell our products.

 

We have limited product
distribution experience and currently rely and plan to rely primarily on product distribution arrangements with third parties.
We may also license our technology to certain third parties for commercialization of certain applications. We expect to enter
into distribution agreements and/or licensing agreements in the future, and we may not be able to enter into these agreements
on terms that are favorable to us, if at all. In addition, we may have limited or no control over the distribution activities
of these third parties. These third parties could sell competing products and may devote insufficient sales efforts to our products.
As a result, our future revenues from sales of our products, if any, will depend on the success of the efforts of these third
parties.

 

We could face significant liabilities in
connection with our technology, products, and business operations, which if incurred beyond any insurance limits, would adversely
affect our business and financial condition. 

 

We are subject to a variety
of potential liabilities connected to our technology development and business operations, such as potential liabilities related
to environmental risks. As a business which manufactures and/or markets products for use by consumers and institutions, we may
become liable for any damage caused by our products, whether used in the manner intended or not. Any such claim of liability,
whether meritorious or not, could be time-consuming and/or result in costly litigation. Although we intend to obtain insurance
against certain of these risks, no assurance can be given that such insurance will be adequate to cover related liabilities or
will be available in the future or, if available, that premiums will be commercially justifiable. If we were to incur any substantial
liability and related damages were not covered by our insurance or exceeded policy limits, or if we were to incur such liability
at a time when we are not able to obtain liability insurance, our business, financial conditions, and results of operations could
be materially adversely affected.

 

Our failure to protect our intellectual
property rights may undermine our competitive position, and litigation to protect our intellectual property rights or defend against
third-party allegations of infringement may be costly.

 

Our success will depend
in part on our ability to develop patentable products and obtain and enforce patent protection for our products in the United
States and other countries. We intend to file applications, as appropriate, for patents covering our products. Patents may not
be issued for any pending or future patent applications owned by or licensed to us, and the claims allowed under any issued patents
may not be sufficiently broad to protect our technology. Any issued patents owned by or licensed to us may be challenged, invalidated,
or circumvented, and the rights under these patents may not provide us with competitive advantages. In addition, competitors may
design around our technology or develop competing technologies. Intellectual property rights may also be unavailable or limited
in some foreign countries, which could make it easier for competitors to capture increased market position. We could incur substantial
costs to defend suits brought against us or suits in which we may assert our patent rights against others. An unfavorable outcome
of any such litigation could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

We may also rely on trade
secrets and proprietary know-how with which we seek to protect our products, in part by confidentiality agreements with our collaborators,
employees, and consultants. Nevertheless, these agreements afford only limited protection, and the actions we take to protect
our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. These agreements may be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies
for any breach. In addition, our trade secrets may otherwise become known or be independently developed by our competitors. As
a result, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietary technologies or other intellectual property rights, which
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operating results.

 

In addition, policing
unauthorized use of proprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual
property rights, protect our trade secrets, or determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. We cannot
assure you that the outcome of any litigation will be in our favor. Intellectual property litigation may be costly and may divert
management attention, as well as expend our other resources away from our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation
will impair our intellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects, and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance
coverage against litigation costs and would have to bear all costs arising from such litigation to the extent we are unable to
recover them from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations, and financial condition.

Operational and Structural
Risks

 

We can provide no assurances as to our
future financial performance or the investment result of a purchase of our common stock.

 

Any projected results
of operations involve significant risks and uncertainty, should be considered speculative, and depend on various assumptions which
may not be correct. The future performance of our Company and the return on our common stock depends on a complex series of events
that are beyond our control and that may or may not occur. Actual results for any period may or may not approximate any assumptions
that are made and may differ significantly from such assumptions. We can provide no assurance or prediction as to our future profitability
or to the ultimate success of an investment in our common stock.

 

The compensation we pay to our executive
officers and employees will likely increase, which will affect our future profitability.

 

We believe that the compensation
we have historically paid to our executive officers is within the lower quartile of compensation paid by companies similar to
our Company. An increase in compensation and bonuses payable to our executive officers and employees could decrease our net income.

 

As a public reporting company, we are subject
to new corporate governance and internal control reporting requirements, and our costs related to compliance with, or our failure
to comply with existing and future requirements, could adversely affect our business.

 

We may face new corporate
governance requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules and regulations subsequently adopted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. These laws, rules,
and regulations continue to evolve and may become increasingly stringent in the future. We are required to evaluate our internal
control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”). We are a smaller
reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. Section 404 requires us to include an internal control report
with our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The report must include management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal
control over financial reporting as of the end of the fiscal year. This report must also include disclosure of any material weaknesses
in internal control over financial reporting that we have identified. Failure to comply, or any adverse results from such evaluation,
could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and have an adverse effect on the trading price of our
securities. We strive to continuously evaluate and improve our control structure to help ensure that we comply with Section 404.
The financial cost of compliance with these laws, rules, and regulations is expected to remain substantial. We cannot assure you
that we will be able to fully comply with these laws, rules, and regulations that address corporate governance, internal control
reporting, and similar matters. Failure to comply with these laws, rules, and regulations could materially adversely affect our
reputation, financial condition, and the value of our securities.

 

As a public company, we will have significant
operating costs relating to compliance requirements and our management is required to devote substantial time to compliance initiatives.

 

Our management has only
limited experience operating AbTech Industries as a public company. To operate effectively, we will be required to continue to
implement changes in certain aspects of our business and develop, manage, and train management level and other employees to comply
with on-going public company requirements. Failure to take such actions, or delay in the implementation thereof, could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act,
as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, impose various requirements on public companies, including requiring establishment
and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and changes in corporate governance practices. Our management and
other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these new compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and
regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly.

 

Risks Related to our
Common Stock

 

A limited public trading market exists
for our common stock, which makes it more difficult for our stockholders to sell their common stock in the public markets.

 

Although our common stock
is quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “ABHD,” there is a limited public market for our common stock. No assurance
can be given that an active market will develop or that a stockholder will ever be able to liquidate its shares of common stock
without considerable delay, if at all. Many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in the securities. Even
if a purchaser finds a broker willing to effect a transaction in these securities, the combination of brokerage commissions, state
transfer taxes, if any, and any other selling costs may exceed the selling price. Furthermore, our stock price may be impacted
by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. These market fluctuations, as well as general
economic, political, and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates, or international currency fluctuations may adversely
affect the market price and liquidity of our common stock.

 

    	Exhibit 10.1 – Page 34

    	 

    

 

Our stock price may be volatile.

 

The market price of our
common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which
are beyond our control, including the following:

 

•      limited
“public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales (or lack of sales) could result in positive or
negative pricing pressure on the market price for our common stock;

 

•      actual
or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results;

•      changes
in our earnings estimates;

•      our
ability to obtain adequate working capital financing;

 

•      changes
in market valuations of similar companies;

•      publication
(or lack of publication) of research reports about us;

•      changes
in applicable laws or regulations, court rulings, enforcement and legal actions;

•      loss
of any strategic relationships;

•      additions
or departures of key management personnel;

•      actions
by our stockholders (including transactions in our shares);

•      speculation
in the press or investment community;

•      increases
in market interest rates, which may increase our cost of capital;

•      changes
in our industry;

•      competitive
pricing pressures;

•      our
ability to execute our business plan; and

•      economic
and other external factors.

 

In addition, the securities
markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance
of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

Our common stock may be subject to the
penny stock rules which may make it more difficult to sell our common stock.

 

The SEC has adopted regulations
which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price, as defined, less than $5.00
per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities may be covered by the
penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established
customers and accredited investors, such as institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or an individual with net worth in
excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with his or her spouse. For transactions covered
by this rule, the broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase and receive the purchaser’s
written agreement of the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell
our securities and also affect the ability of our stockholders to sell their shares in the secondary market.

 

FINRA sales practice requirements may also
limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock. 

 

In addition to the “penny
stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that require
that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment
is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative, low priced securities to their non-institutional customers,
broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment
objectives, and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that
speculative, low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult
for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock
and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

 

Our common shares are currently traded
at low volume, and you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell or liquidate a substantial number
of shares at one time. 

 

We cannot predict the
extent to which an active public market for our common stock will develop or be sustained. Our common shares are currently traded,
but currently with low volume, based on quotations on the “Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board,” meaning that the number
of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent.
This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is still relatively
unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors, and others in the investment community that generate or influence
sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to
follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more
seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal
or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally
support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active
public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained, or that trading levels will be sustained.

 

    	Exhibit 10.1 – Page 35

    	 

    

 

Shareholders should be
aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for “penny stocks” has suffered in recent years from
patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include: (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers
that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales
and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price
projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers;
and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired
level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware
of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market, and we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the
behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could
increase the future volatility of our share price.

 

We have historically not paid dividends
and do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

 

We have historically not
paid dividends to our stockholders, and management does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock to our stockholders
for the foreseeable future. Any determination we make regarding dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors
and will depend on our results of operations, our financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable
law, and other factors our Board of Directors deem relevant. Even if the funds are legally available for distribution, we may
nevertheless decide not to pay any dividends. We presently intend to retain future earnings, if any, for use in the operation
and expansion of our business.

 

The elimination of monetary liability against
our directors, officers, and employees under Nevada law and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers,
and employees may result in substantial expenditures by our Company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers,
and employees. 

 

Our articles of incorporation
contain a provision permitting us to eliminate the personal liability of our directors to our Company and shareholders for damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer to the extent provided by Nevada law. We may also have contractual indemnification
obligations under our employment agreements with our officers. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our Company
incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which we may
be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage our Company from bringing a lawsuit against directors
and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our shareholders
against our directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit our Company and shareholders.
