and performance of the Loan Documents does not and will not

person, corporation, governmental body or other entity is a
prerequisite to the execution, delivery, validity or enforceability

contingent, of the Borrower as of the date of such financial
statements which are not reflected therein or in the notes thereto.

financial statements or since the respective dates on which either

not and will not render Borrower insolvent. The Borrower is
contemplating neither the filing of a petition under any state or
federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws, nor the liquidation of all
or a major portion of its property, and the Borrower has no
knowledge or any reason to know of any person contemplating the
filing of any such petition against it.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED,
Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation with an
address of 000 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 (the
“Borrower”),
hereby promises to pay to the order of Mart Inn, Inc. (the
“Lender”), at
c/o LaDelfa, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxx PC, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, XX Xxx 000,
Xxxxx Xxxxxx, XX 00000, or at any other place designated to the
Borrower by the Lender in writing, the principal sum of Two Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00), 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 $200,000.00 on the earlier of (i) March 31,
2015, 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.

notice of nonpayment, notice of protest, and protest of this Note,
and all of the notices in connection with delivery, acceptance,

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

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.
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
200,000 Shares of the
Common Stock,
$0.0001 Par Value Per Share,
of
OCEAN
THERMAL ENERGY CORPORATION
This is to certify
that, for value received, Mart Inn, Inc. (“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 200,000
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.

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.

this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time as provided in this Paragraph.

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.

(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.
