SERIES M PREFERRED STOCK

This Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of OriginClear, Inc. amends and restates the Certificate of Designation of Series M Preferred Stock filed by the Company on December 11, 2019.

OriginClear, Inc. (the “Company”), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Nevada, does hereby certify that, pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of Directors of the Company by the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, it has adopted resolutions (a) authorizing the issuance of up to eight hundred thousand (800,000) shares of Series M Preferred Stock of the Company and (b) providing for the designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as follows:

SECTION 1. DESIGNATION OF SERIES. There shall hereby be created and established a series of “Series M Preferred Stock” and the number of shares initially constituting such series shall be up to eight hundred thousand (800,000) shares.

SECTION 2. STATED VALUE. The Stated Value of the Series M Preferred Stock will be $25.00 per share.

SECTION 3. DIVIDENDS. The holders of outstanding shares of Series M Preferred Stock (the “Holders”) will be entitled to receive, out of any funds and assets of the Company legally available therefor, dividends payable monthly, at the annual rate of 10% of the Stated Value, payable in preference and priority to any payment of any dividend of the common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”). The monthly record and payment date for such dividends will be set by the Board of Directors of the Company. The right to such dividends of the Holders of Series M Preferred Stock will be cumulative.

SECTION 4. LIQUIDATION. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding- up of the Company, the Series M Preferred Stock will entitle the Holders, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its shareholders upon such liquidation, an amount equal to the Stated Value, for each share of Series M Preferred Stock, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends on such shares, before any payment may be made or any assets distributed to the holders of the Common Stock.

SECTION 5. VOTING AND PROTECTIVE PROVISIONS. (a) Except as required by law or as specifically provided herein, the Holders of Series M Preferred Stock will not be entitled to vote, as a separate class or otherwise, on any matter presented to the stockholders of the Company for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Company (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of meeting).

(b) So long as any shares of Series M Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company will not, without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the Holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series M Preferred Stock voting together as one class, alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of the Series M Preferred Stock so as to affect materially and adversely such shares.

SECTION 6. REDEMPTION.

The Company may in its sole discretion (to the extent it may lawfully do so), at any time, redeem any outstanding shares of Series M Preferred Stock at a price equal to 150% of the Stated Value plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon. In the event the Company exercises such redemption right for less than all of the then-outstanding shares of Series M Preferred Stock, the Company shall redeem the outstanding shares of the Holders of a pro rata basis. The Company may exercise such redemption right at any time by providing 30 days’ prior written notice of such redemption and payment of the redemption price to the Holders. Upon payment of the redemption price by the Company in accordance herewith, the shares of Series M Preferred Stock that have been redeemed will revert to the status of authorized but unissued preferred stock.

SECTION 7. NOTICES. Any notice required hereby to be given to the Holders shall be deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, or provided by fax or e-mail, to the Holders of record at their respective addresses appearing on the books of the Company.
