ADDENDUM TO

SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE (BOND)

THIS ADDENDUM TO SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE (BOND) (this “Addendum”) is made effective as of [date], 2014 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each of the lenders signatory and identified on Schedule I hereto (“Investors”). The Company and Investors are sometimes collectively referred to herein as, the “Parties”.

RECITALS

A.           The Company and Investors entered into a series of Secured Promissory Notes (Bonds) in identical form, the form of which is attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Original Notes”), pursuant to which upon certain occurrences, the Original Notes shall either automatically, or at the option of each Investor, convert into shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) in accordance with the conversion provisions of the Original Notes.

B.           The Parties desire to amend the Original Notes to provide for adjustments to the Conversion Shares (as defined in the Original Notes) upon the occurrence of certain dilutive issuances, as more particularly set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, promises and undertakings set forth herein, the Company and the Investors hereby agree as follows:

AMENDMENT AND AGREEMENT

1.           Conversion Shares. Section 1(h) of the Original Notes is hereby amended and superseded in its entirety as follows:

“(h)           “Conversion Shares” shall mean one thousand (1,000) shares of the Common Stock of the Company, as adjusted below:

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

 

 

	Addendum	 1	 

 

  

  

  

 

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

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

2.           Miscellaneous.

a.           No Further Amendment; Effective of Amendment. Except as expressly amended hereby, each of the Original Notes is in all respects ratified and confirmed and all the terms, conditions, and provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect. This Addendum is limited precisely as written and shall not be deemed to be an amendment to any other term or condition of the Original Notes. This Addendum shall form a part of each Original Note for all purposes, and the parties thereto and hereto shall be bound hereby. From and after the execution of this Addendum by the Parties, any reference to an Original Note shall be deemed a reference to the Original Note as amended hereby. This Addendum shall be deemed to be in full force and effect from and after the execution of this Addendum by the Parties.

b.           Invalidity. If any provision of this Addendum is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future law, and if the rights or obligations of any Party hereto under this Addendum will not be materially and adversely affected thereby: (a) such provision will be fully severable; (b) this Addendum will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof; (c) the remaining provisions of this Addendum will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance here from; and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Addendum a legal, valid and enforceable provision to reflect the same economic and legal substance of, and in as similar terms to, such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

c.           Counterparts. This Addendum may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, including counterparts bearing a facsimile signature copy, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other. The Parties intend that a facsimile signature copy on this Addendum shall have the same force and effect as an original signature.

	Note 	 3	 

  

  

  

 

b.           Accredited Investor. The Investor is an accredited investor as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, and the Investor acknowledges that in order to participate in the offering of the Company’s Secured Convertible Promissory Notes, the Investor must provide to the Company, and its counsel, satisfactory information to verify the Investor’s status as an accredited investor, as required by Rule 506(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

c.           Access to Information. The Investor acknowledges that the Company has given the Investor access to the corporate records and accounts of the Company and to all information in its possession relating to the Company, has made its officers and representatives available for interview by the Investor, and has furnished such Investor with all documents and other information required for the Investor to make an informed decision with respect to the purchase of this Note.

d.           Transfer Restrictions. The Investor acknowledges that (i) the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note has not been and will not be registered under the provisions of the 1933 Act, and may not be transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, or (B) the Investor shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory in form, scope and substance to the Company, to the effect that the Common Stock to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act; (ii) any sale of the Common Stock made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of such Rule and further, if such Rule is not applicable, any resale of such Common Stock under circumstances in which the seller, or the Person through whom the sale is made, may be deemed to be an underwriter, as that term is used in the 1933 Act, may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) except as otherwise provided herein, neither the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the 1933 Act or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

e.           Restrictive Legend. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that, until such time as the Common Stock has been registered under the 1933 Act, and may be sold in accordance with an effective Registration Statement, or until such Common Stock can otherwise be sold without restriction, whichever is earlier, the certificates and other instruments representing any of the Common Stock shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of any such Common Stock):

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM, SUBSTANCE AND SCOPE CUSTOMARY FOR OPINIONS OF COUNSEL IN COMPARABLE TRANSACTIONS OR OTHER EVIDENCE ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED, OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.

5.           The Company Representations and Warranties.

a.           Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds received hereunder for working capital and general corporate purposes only; provided, however, the Company will not use such proceeds to pay fees payable to any broker or finder relating to the offer and sale of this Note.

 

	Note 	 4	 

  

  

  

b.           Reporting Status. If the Company becomes an issuer required to file reports under the 1934 Act, so long as the Investor beneficially owns the Common Stock and for at least twenty (20) Trading Days thereafter, the Company shall file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, and shall take all reasonable action under its control to ensure that adequate current public information with respect to the Company, as required in accordance with Rule 144, is publicly available, and shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination.

6.           Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note:

a.           Failure to Pay. The Company shall fail to pay (i) when due any principal or interest payment on the due date hereunder or (ii) any other payment required under the terms of this Note on the date due, and such payment shall not have been made within five (5) days of the Company’s receipt of Investor’s written notice to the Company of such failure to pay.

b.           Breaches of Covenants. The Company shall fail to observe or perform any other covenant, obligation, condition or agreement contained in this Note (other than those specified in Section 5(a)) and (i) such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after the Company receives notice thereof from the Investor, or (ii) if such failure is not curable within such 30-day period, but is reasonably capable of cure and the Company shall not have commenced a cure in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Investor within the initial 30-day period or at any time thereafter ceases to use commercially practicable efforts to effect such cure.

c.           Voluntary Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. The Company shall (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of itself or of all or a substantial part of its property; (ii) be unable, or admit in writing its inability, to pay its debts generally as they mature; (iii) make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (iv) be dissolved or liquidated; (v) commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession of its property by any official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it; or (vi) take any action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing.

d.           Involuntary Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. Proceedings for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of the Company, or of all or a substantial part of the property thereof, or an involuntary case or other proceedings seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Company or the debts thereof under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect shall be commenced and an order for relief entered or such proceeding shall not be dismissed or discharged within thirty (30) days of commencement.

e.           Cessation of Operations. Any cessation of operations by the Company, or the Company admits it is otherwise generally unable to pay its debts as such debts become due; provided, however, that any disclosure of the Company’s ability to continue as a “going concern” shall not be an admission that the Company cannot pay its debts as they become due.

 

 

	Note 	 5	 

  

  

  

7.           Notice of Events of Default and Change of Control; Rights of Investor upon Default. The Company shall furnish to the Investor, promptly upon the occurrence thereof, written notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder and, not less than ten (10) days prior to a Change of Control, written notice of any proposed Change of Control. Immediately upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, all outstanding Obligations payable by the Company hereunder shall be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition to the foregoing remedy, upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, the Investor may exercise any other right, power or remedy granted to it under this Note or otherwise permitted to it by law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both.

8.           Conversion.

a.           Automatic Conversion. At the time the Closing Sale Price for the Company’s Common Stock is equal to or greater than $1.80 per share for a period of ten (10) consecutive days on an Eligible Market, then the outstanding principal amount of and all accrued and unpaid interest under this Note shall automatically convert into the Conversion Shares. On and after the date of conversion pursuant to this Section 8(a) or Section 8(b), the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Conversion Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such Conversion Shares and a purchaser of such Conversion Shares.

b.           Optional Conversion. If not previously converted pursuant to Section 8(a), at any time on or following the Maturity Date that the Company’s Common Stock is listed on an Eligible Market, the outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest under, this Note shall be convertible at the option of the holder into the Conversion Shares.

c.           Mechanics of Conversion. Within three (3) Business Days after the occurrence of the conditions for automatic conversion as set forth in Section 8(a), the Company will notify the Investor that this Note has been converted in accordance with Section 8(a). Within three (3) Business Days thereof, or upon the Investor’s decision to convert this Note in accordance with Section 8(b), the Investor shall deliver (whether via email, facsimile or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date (a “Conversion Date”), a copy of an executed notice of conversion substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company. The Investor shall promptly thereafter surrender this Note to a reputable overnight courier for delivery to the Company (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction).

9.           Successors and Assigns. Subject to the restrictions on transfer described in Sections 11 and 12 below, the rights and obligations of the Company and the Investor shall be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and transferees of the parties.

10.           Waiver and Amendment. Any provision of this Note may only be waived, amended or modified upon the written consent of the Company and the Investor.

 

	Note 	 6	 

  

  

  

11.           Registration and Replacement of this Note. Transfer of Note and Securities Issuable on Conversion Hereof.

a.           Registration and Replacement. The Company will keep, at its principal executive office, books for the registration and registration of transfer of this Note. Prior to presentation of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company shall treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner and holder of such Note for all purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note shall be overdue, and the Company shall not be affected by notice to the contrary. Subject to any restrictions on or conditions to transfer set forth elsewhere in this Note, including Section 11(b) below, and any other agreement to which the holder is a party, the holder of this Note, at its option, may in person or by duly authorized attorney surrender the same for exchange at the Company’s chief executive office, and promptly thereafter and at the Company’s expense, except as provided below, receive in exchange therefor one or more new Notes in the name of such holder, each in the principal (or for the number of shares, as applicable) requested by such holder, dated the date to which interest shall have been paid on the Note so surrendered or, if no interest shall have yet been so paid, dated the date of the Note so surrendered and registered in the name of such Person or Persons as shall have been designated in writing by such holder or its attorney for the same principal amount as the then unpaid principal amount of the Note so surrendered (or for the number of shares, as applicable). Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note and (a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it; or (b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender thereof, the Company, at its expense, will execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Note executed in the same manner as the Note being replaced, in the same principal amount as the unpaid principal amount of such Note and dated the date to which interest shall have been paid on such Note or, if no interest shall have yet been so paid on such Note, dated the date of such Note.

b.           Transfer of Note and Underlying Securities. With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Note or securities into which such Note may be converted, the Investor will give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of the Investor’s counsel, or other evidence if reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other distribution may be effected without registration or qualification (under any federal or state law then in effect). Upon receiving such written notice and reasonably satisfactory opinion, if so requested, or other evidence, the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify the Investor that the Investor may sell or otherwise dispose of this Note or such securities, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company. If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 11(b) that the opinion of counsel for the Investor, or other evidence, is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall so notify the Investor promptly after such determination has been made. Each Note thus transferred and each certificate representing the securities thus transferred shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with the 1933 Act, unless in the opinion of counsel for the Company such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with the 1933 Act. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions. Subject to the foregoing transfers of this Note shall be registered upon registration books maintained for such purpose by or on behalf of the Company as provided in Section 11(a). Notwithstanding the above, this Section 11 shall not prohibit, and no opinion of counsel shall be required with respect to, the disposition by the Investor to an Affiliate if, prior to such transfer, the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if he were the original Investor hereunder.

 

	Note 	 7	 

  

  

  

12.           Assignment by the Company. Neither this Note nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned, by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, by the Company without the prior written consent of the Investor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

13.           Notices. All notices, requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and faxed, mailed or delivered to each party at the respective addresses of the parties as set forth on the signature page hereto, or at such other address or facsimile number as the Company shall have furnished to the Investor in writing. All such notices and communications will be deemed effectively given the earlier of (i) when received; (ii) when delivered personally; (iii) one business day after being delivered by facsimile (with receipt of appropriate confirmation); (iv) one business day after being deposited with an overnight courier service of recognized standing; or (v) four days after being deposited in the U.S. mail, first class with postage prepaid.

14.           Payment. Payment shall be made in lawful tender of the United States, and all references to dollar amounts shall refer to United States Dollars.

15.           Usury. In the event any interest is paid on this Note which is deemed to be in excess of the then legal maximum rate, then that portion of the interest payment representing an amount in excess of the then legal maximum rate shall be deemed a payment of principal and applied against the principal of this Note.

16.           Expenses; Waivers. If any action is instituted with a court to collect this Note, the Company promises to pay all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred in connection with such action. The Company hereby waives notice of default, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor and all other notices or demands relative to this instrument. Each Party shall bear its own fees and costs incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Note.

a.           Note;

b.           Warrants, of even date herewith, granting to Lender, as additional consideration for making the Loan to the Borrower, the right to purchase up to 100,000 shares of Ocean Thermal Energy Corp. common stock at a price of $1.00 per share.

3.           Interest Rate. The Loan shall bear interest as set forth in the Note.

	Loan Agreement	 1	 

 

  

  

  

 

b.           Authority; Binding Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents are within the corporate power of the Borrower, have been duly authorized by the Borrower and are not in contravention of law or the terms of the Borrower’s Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents does not and will not contravene any documents, agreements or undertakings to which the Borrower is a party or by which it is bound. No approval of any person, corporation, governmental body or other entity is a prerequisite to the execution, delivery, validity or enforceability and performance of the Loan Documents.

c.           Financial Information. Subject to any limitation stated therein or in connection therewith, all balance sheets, earning statements, accounts receivable lists and aging schedules and other financial data which have been or shall be furnished to the Lender by the Borrower to induce the Lender to enter into this Loan Agreement or otherwise in connection herewith, do or will fairly represent the financial condition of the Borrower in all material respects, are accurate, complete and correct in all material respects insofar as completeness may be necessary to give the Lender a true and accurate knowledge of the subject matter as of the date hereof. There are no material liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, of the Borrower as of the date of such financial statements which are not reflected therein or in the notes thereto. There has been no material adverse change in the financial condition or operations of the Borrower since the date of said financial statements or since the respective dates on which either furnished the Lender with other financial data or other representations about their financial condition.  

 

d.           Solvency. Any borrowings to be made by Borrower under this Loan Agreement do not and will not render Borrower insolvent.

PROMISSORY NOTE

	
$100,000

	
December 26, 2014

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation with an address of 800 South Queen Street, Lancaster, PA 17603 (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of James G. Garner, Jr. (the “Lender”), at ______________________, or at any other place designated to the Borrower by the Lender in writing, the principal sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), with interest as herein specified, and under the terms and conditions stated herein.

1.           Repayment of Principal and Interest. Principal and interest shall be repaid by Borrower to Lender as follows: The Borrower shall repay the principal amount of $100,000 on earlier of (i) the first twelve-month anniversary of the date of issuance, or (ii) the completion by the Company of equity financing resulting in the Company's receipt of gross proceeds of at least $2,000,000, or (iii) the Financial Closing of the Baha Mar Project and release of funds by Deutsche Bank; (the "Maturity Date"),  the Borrower shall pay to the Lender the unpaid principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other costs and amounts payable to the Lender hereunder.

All amounts payable hereunder are payable in lawful money of the United States of America at the address of the Lender set forth above in immediately available funds. Prior to a Default, all payments shall be applied first on account of other charges, second to accrued interest due on the unpaid balance of principal and finally the remainder of such payments shall be applied to unpaid principal. If a Default occurs, payments and monies received may be applied in any manner and order deemed appropriate by the Lender.

2.           Rates and Calculation of Interest. Interest on the outstanding and unpaid principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated for the actual number of days in the then current calendar year that principal is outstanding, based upon a year of three hundred sixty (360) days, accrue and shall be paid at the fixed rate of interest per annum equal to twelve percent (12%).

In no event shall the rate of interest hereunder be in excess of the maximum amount permitted by law. In the event the rate of interest hereunder is determined to be in excess of the maximum amount permitted by law, such interest rate shall be automatically decreased to the maximum rate permitted by law.

In addition to all other rights contained in this Note, if a Default (defined herein) occurs and as long as a Default continues, all outstanding sums hereunder shall bear interest at the interest rate otherwise prevailing under the preceding paragraph, plus 10% (the “Default Rate”). The Default Rate shall also apply from acceleration until all unpaid sums and obligations (whether matured or contingent) hereunder and any judgments thereon are paid in full.

3.           Prepayment. This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time at the option of the Borrower without premium or penalty. Each prepayment shall be applied first to the payment in full of other charges payable hereunder, then to accrued interest and the remainder of such payment, if any, shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance.

4.           Loan Agreement. This Note is the Note referred to in the agreements between the Borrower and the Lender, including, but not limited to the Loan Agreement of even date herewith (the “Loan Agreement”) and the Loan Documents referenced therein (the “Loan Documents”). The failure of the Borrower to execute any such agreement or other document shall not affect the validity of this Note. This Note shall evidence all obligations of the Borrower to the Lender under the Loan Agreement and Loan Documents.

 

	Promissory Note	 1	 

 

  

  

  

5.           Integration. The terms and conditions of this Note, together with the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents, contains the entire understanding between the Borrower and the Lender with respect to the indebtedness evidenced hereby. Such understanding may not be amended, modified, or terminated except in writing duly executed by the parties hereto.

6.           Security. This Note is unsecured.

7.           Default and Remedies. The occurrence of any default or event of default (“Default”), as defined in the Loan Agreement and/or the Loan Documents, shall constitute a Default of and under this Note.

When a Default occurs, the Lender, at its option, may declare the entire unpaid balance of principal of this Note, unpaid interest thereon and all other charges, costs and expenses provided for herein, in the Loan Agreement and/or any of the Loan Documents, and/or pursuant to any other agreements between Borrower and Lender, immediately due and payable without notice to or demand upon the Borrower. Upon the occurrence of a Default, the Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect the Loan Agreement, the Loan Documents, this Note, and/or otherwise provided for by law, in equity, and otherwise.

8.           Waiver. The undersigned hereby waives presentment for payment, demand, notice of nonpayment, notice of protest, and protest of this Note, and all of the notices in connection with delivery, acceptance, performance, default, or enforcement of the payment of this Note. The failure by the Lender to exercise any right or remedy shall not be taken to waive the exercise of the same thereafter for the same or any subsequent Default. The Borrower waives any claim of set-off, recoupment and/or counterclaim. All notices to the Borrower shall be adequately given if mailed postage prepaid to the address appearing in the Lender’s records. The Borrower intends this Note to be a sealed instrument and to be legally bound hereby.

9.           Holder. The references to “Lender” herein shall be deemed to be references to any subsequent assignee, transferee, or other holder of this Note.

10.           Governing Law. This Note shall be construed in accordance with the domestic internal laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without reference to any conflict of laws provisions, as a Note made, delivered and to be wholly performed within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

11.           Judicial Proceedings. Any suit, action, or proceeding, whether claim or counterclaim, brought or instituted by the Borrower or the Lender, or any of their successors or assigns, on or with respect to this Note or the dealings of the Borrower or the Lender with respect hereto, shall be tried only by a court and not by a jury. THE BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. In connection therewith, the Borrower agrees that any suit, action or proceeding arising hereunder or with respect hereto will be instituted in the Court of Common Pleas of York County, Pennsylvania, or the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, and irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of each such Court for such purpose. Further, the Borrower waives any right it may have to claim or recover, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages or any damages other than, or in addition to, actual damages. THE BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS PARAGRAPH IS A SPECIFIC AND MATERIAL ASPECT OF THIS NOTE AND THAT THE LENDER WOULD NOT EXTEND CREDIT IF THE WAIVERS SET FORTH IN THIS PARAGRAPH WERE NOT A PART OF THIS NOTE.

 

	Promissory Note	 2	 

 

  

  

  

12.           Confession of Judgment. Upon Default, the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Prothonotary or any attorney of any court of record in Pennsylvania or elsewhere to appear for and confess judgment against the Borrower for any and all amounts unpaid hereunder, together with any other charges, costs and expenses for which Borrower is liable under this Note, and together with fees of counsel in the reasonable amount of five percent (5%) of all of the foregoing (but in no event less than $5,000.00) and costs of suit, releasing all errors and waiving all rights of appeal. If a copy of this Note, verified by affidavit, shall have been filed in such proceeding, it shall not be necessary to file the original as a warrant of attorney. The Borrower hereby waives the right to any stay of execution and the benefit of all exemption laws now or hereafter in effect. No single exercise of this warrant and power to confess judgment shall be deemed to exhaust this power, whether or not any such exercise shall be held by any court to be invalid, voidable or void, but this power shall continue undiminished and may be exercised from time to time as often as the Lender shall elect until all sums due hereunder shall have been paid in full. Interest shall continue to accrue after entry of judgment hereunder, by confession, default, or otherwise, at the higher of the prevailing rate of interest under this Note, or the judgment rate of interest under applicable law. All waivers granted in this paragraph are given to the extent permitted by the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure.

13.           NOTICE: THIS NOTE CONTAINS, AT PARAGRAPH 12, A WARRANT OF ATTORNEY TO CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER. IN GRANTING THIS WARRANT OF ATTORNEY TO CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER, THE BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY, AND VOLUNTARILY, AND ON THE ADVICE OF SEPARATE COUNSEL OF THE BORROWER, UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS THE BORROWER HAS OR MAY HAVE TO PRIOR NOTICE AND AN OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING UNDER THE RESPECTIVE CONSTITUTIONS AND LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES, THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, OR OF ANY OTHER STATE.

WARRANT

to Purchase up to 100,000 Shares of the

Common Stock, $0.0001 Par Value Per Share,

of

OCEAN THERMAL ENERGY CORPORATION

This is to certify that, for value received, James G. Garner, Jr. (“Lender”) or any permitted transferee (Lender or such transferee being hereinafter called the “Holder”) is entitled to purchase, subject to the provisions of this Warrant, from Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“OTEC”), at any time on or after the date hereof, an aggregate of up to 100,000 fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value (the “Common Stock”), of OTEC at a price per share equal to $1.00, subject to adjustment as herein provided (the “Exercise Price”).

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

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

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

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

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

 

	Warrant	 1	 

 

  

  

  

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

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

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

(A)           Stock Dividends, etc.

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

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

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

 

	Warrant	 2	 

 

  

  

  

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

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

(B)           Certain Sales of Common Stock.

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

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

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

 

	Warrant	 3	 

 

  

  

  

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

7.           Rights of the Holder.

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

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

8.           Termination. This Warrant and the rights conferred hereby shall terminate four years hereafter.

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