ORIGINOIL, INC.
32,001,455 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK BY SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
$0.10 Per Share

This prospectus relates to 32,001,455 shares of common stock of OriginOil, Inc., a Nevada corporation. These shares have already been issued to the selling security holders in private placement transactions which were exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of those shares being sold by the selling security holders. The selling security holders may sell their shares in sales in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

The resale of the shares or the sale of new shares is not being underwritten. The selling security holders may sell or distribute the shares, from time to time, depending on market conditions and other factors, through underwriters, dealers, brokers or other agents, or directly to one or more purchasers. The offering price may be the market price prevailing at the time of sale or a privately negotiated price. Pursuant to the registration rights granted by us to the selling security holders, we are obligated to register the shares held by the selling security holders. We are paying substantially all expenses incidental to registration of the shares.

There is no public trading market for our securities, and if a market develops for our securities, it will most likely be limited, sporadic and highly volatile. If no market develops, you will not be able to resell your shares publicly.
 
Your investment in our units involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” starting on page ___ for certain information you should consider before you purchase the shares.
 
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the following risk factors in evaluating our business before you buy any of our common stock. Buying our common stock is speculative and involves many risks. You should not buy our common stock unless you can afford to lose the entire amount of your investment.

Risks related to OriginOil’s financial results:

WE ARE A RECENTLY FORMED DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY THAT HAS NOT ACHIEVED PROFITABLE OPERATIONS. IF OUR BUSINESS PLAN FAILS, YOU MAY LOSE YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.

Our independent auditors, HJ Associates & Consultants, LLP, certified public accountants, have expressed substantial doubt concerning our ability to continue as a going concern. From inception to September 30, 2007, our net losses have been $207,978. Since we have no record of profitable operations, there is high a possibility that you may suffer a complete loss of your investment.

OUR LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY DOES NOT AFFORD INVESTORS A SUFFICIENT HISTORY ON WHICH TO BASE AN INVESTMENT DECISION.

Our Company was formed in June 2007 and is currently developing a new technology that has not yet gained market acceptance. There can be no assurance that at this time we will operate profitably or that we will have adequate working capital to meet our obligations as they become due.

Investors must consider the risks and difficulties frequently encountered by early stage companies, particularly in rapidly evolving markets. Such risks include the following:

 
·
competition;
     
 
·
need for acceptance of products;
     
 
·
ability to continue to develop and extend brand identity;
     
 
·
ability to anticipate and adapt to a competitive market;
     
 
·
ability to effectively manage rapidly expanding operations;
     
 
·
amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to expansion of our business, operations, and infrastructure; and
     
 
·
dependence upon key personnel.

We cannot be certain that our business strategy will be successful or that we will successfully address these risks. In the event that we do not successfully address these risks, our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITORS HAVE EXPRESSED SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN, WHICH MAY HINDER OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN FUTURE FINANCING AND WHICH MAY FORCE US TO CEASE OPERATIONS.

In their report dated November 30, 2007, our independent auditors stated that our financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2007 were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is an issue raised as a result of recurring losses from operations and cash flow deficiencies since our inception. We continue to experience net losses. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate a profit and/or obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities, increasing sales or obtaining loans and grants from various financial institutions where possible. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, you may lose your entire investment.
 
ORIGINOIL IS AT AN EARLY STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT AND HAS A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY

OriginOil was formed in 2007 operating as a private company formed under the laws of the state of Nevada. As such, it has a limited operating history upon which you can base an evaluation of its business and prospects. As a start-up company in the early stage of development, there are substantial risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties that OriginOil is subject to. You should consider an investment in OriginOil in light of these risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties. To address these risks and uncertainties, OriginOil must do the following:

 
·
Successfully execute its business strategy;

 
·
Respond to competitive developments; and

 
·
Attract, integrate, retain and motivate qualified personnel.
 
6

 
OriginOil may be unable to accomplish one or more of these objectives, which could cause its business to suffer. In addition, accomplishing one or more of these objectives might be very expensive, which could harm its financial results.
 
OUR REVENUES ARE DEPENDENT UPON ACCEPTANCE OF OUR PRODUCTS BY THE MARKET; THE FAILURE OF WHICH WOULD CAUSE US TO CURTAIL OR CEASE OPERATIONS.

We believe that virtually all of our revenues will come from the sale or license of our products. As a result, we will continue to incur substantial operating losses until such time as we are able to generate revenues from the sale or license of our products. There can be no assurance that businesses and customers will adopt our technology and products, or that businesses and prospective customers will agree to pay for or license our products. In the event that we are not able to significantly increase the number of customers that purchase or license our products, or if we are unable to charge the necessary prices or license fees, our financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.

Risks related to OriginOil’s business:

ORIGINOIL WILL NEED TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF ITS ORGANIZATION, AND MAY EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTIES IN MANAGING GROWTH.

OriginOil is a small company with minimal employees as of September 30, 2007. We expect to experience a period of significant expansion in headcount, facilities, infrastructure and overhead and anticipates that further expansion will be required to address potential growth and market opportunities. Future growth will impose significant added responsibilities on members of management, including the need to identify, recruit, maintain and integrate managers. Our future financial performance and our ability to compete effectively will depend, in part, on our ability to manage any future growth effectively.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAW, WHICH EXPOSES US TO POTENTIAL LIABILITIES, INCLUDING POTENTIAL RESCISSION RIGHTS.

We have offered and sold our common stock to investors pursuant to certain exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as well as those of various state securities laws. The basis for relying on such exemptions is factual; that is, the applicability of such exemptions depends upon our conduct and that of those persons contacting prospective investors and making the offering. We have not received a legal opinion to the effect that any of our prior offerings were exempt from registration under any federal or state law. Instead, we have relied upon the operative facts as the basis for such exemptions, including information provided by investors themselves.

If any prior offering did not qualify for such exemption, an investor would have the right to rescind its purchase of the securities if it so desired. It is possible that if an investor should seek rescission, such investor would succeed. A similar situation prevails under state law in those states where the securities may be offered without registration in reliance on the partial preemption from the registration or qualification provisions of such state statutes under the National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996. If investors were successful in seeking rescission, we would face severe financial demands that could adversely affect our business and operations. Additionally, if we did not in fact qualify for the exemptions upon which it has relied, we may become subject to significant fines and penalties imposed by the SEC and state securities agencies.

THE AVAILABILITY OF A LARGE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED BUT UNISSUED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK MAY, UPON THEIR ISSUANCE, LEAD TO DILUTION OF EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS.

We are authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock, $.0001 par value per share, of which, as of November 19, 2007, 143,430,050 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. These shares may be issued by our Board of Directors without further stockholder approval. The issuance of large numbers of shares, possibly at below market prices, is likely to result in substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders. In addition, issuances of large numbers of shares may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

WE MAY NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL THAT COULD DILUTE THE OWNERSHIP INTEREST OF INVESTORS.

We require substantial working capital to fund our business. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related or convertible debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of holders of our common stock and they may experience additional dilution. We cannot predict whether additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. Since our inception, we have experienced negative cash flow from operations and expect to experience significant negative cash flow from operations in the future. The issuance of additional common stock by our management, may have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of our common stock, including investors in this offering.

THE COMPANY MAY BE UNABLE TO MANAGE ITS GROWTH OR IMPLEMENT ITS EXPANSION STRATEGY.  

The Company may not be able to develop its product and service offerings or implement the other features of its business strategy at the rate or to the extent presently planned. The Company’s projected growth will place a significant strain on the Company’s administrative, operational and financial resources. If the Company is unable to successfully manage its future growth, establish and continue to upgrade its operating and financial control systems, recruit and hire necessary personnel or effectively manage unexpected expansion difficulties, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOP AND COMMERCIALIZE OUR TECHNOLOGIES WHICH WOULD RESULT IN CONTINUED LOSSES AND MAY REQUIRE US TO CURTAIL OR CEASE OPERATIONS.

We are currently developing our technology and a commercial product. We have not generated any revenues and we are unable to project when we will achieve profitability, if at all. As is the case with any new technology, we expect the development process to continue. We cannot assure that our engineering resources will be able to develop the product fast enough to meet market requirements. We can also not assure that our product will gain market acceptance and that we will be able to successfully commercialize the technologies. The failure to successfully develop and commercialize the technologies would result in continued losses and may require us to curtail or cease operations.

OUR ABILITY TO PRODUCE AND DISTRIBUTE COMMERCIALLY VIABLE BIO-FUEL IS UNPROVEN, WHICH COULD HAVE A DETRIMENTAL EFFECT ON OUR ABILITY TO GENERATE OR SUSTAIN REVENUES.

The technologies we will use to transform algae into a new form of oil have never been utilized on a commercial basis. The OriginOil System, through our Quantum Fracturing technology, while intended to create a new bio-fuel feedstock for many products such as diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, plastics and solvents, is in fact a new bio-fuel that may never achieve technical or commercial viability. All of the tests conducted to date by us with respect to the technology have been performed in a limited scale environment and the same or similar results may not be obtainable at competitive costs on a large-scale commercial basis. We have never utilized technology under the conditions or in the volumes that will be required for us to be profitable and cannot predict all of the difficulties that may arise. The technology, when used, may require further research, development, regulatory approvals, environmental permits, design and testing prior to commercialization. Accordingly, our technology may not perform successfully on a commercial basis and may never generate any revenues or be profitable.

OUR BUSINESS DEPENDS ON PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY THAT WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PROTECT AND MAY INFRINGE ON THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF OTHERS.

Our success will depend, in part, on our technology’s commercial viability and on the strength of our intellectual property rights. The technology is not patented and the only intellectual property rights that exist at present, if any, are trade secret rights. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect and others could independently develop substantially equivalent technology, otherwise gain access to trade secrets relating to the technology, Accordingly, we may not be able to protect the rights to our trade secrets. In addition, our agreements with our employees, consultants, advisors, customers and strategic partners restricting the disclosure and use of trade secrets, inventions and confidential information relating to the technology may not provide meaningful protection in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure.
 
We recently filed a U.S. patent application. It could take several years for the applications to be processed. However, patent protection may not be obtainable for the technology whether in the U.S. or internationally. Alternatively, any protection that is obtained may not be broad enough to be effective and of value, or it may not withstand challenges as to validity and enforceability.
 
Third parties may assert that the technology, or the products we or our customers or partners commercialize using the technology, infringes upon their proprietary rights. We have yet to complete an infringement analysis and, even if such an analysis were available at the current time, it is virtually impossible for us to be certain that no infringement exists, particularly in our case where our products have not yet been fully developed.
 
We may need to acquire additional licenses from third parties in order to avoid infringement. Any required license may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.
 
We could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us for alleged infringement of another party’s intellectual property rights as well as in enforcing our rights against others, and if we are found to infringe, the manufacture, sale and use of our or our customers’ or partners’ products could be enjoined. Any claims against us, with or without merit, would likely be time-consuming, requiring our management team to dedicate substantial time to addressing the issues presented. Furthermore, the parties bringing claims may have greater resources than we do.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE MAY MAKE OUR PRODUCTS OBSOLETE OR DIFFICULT TO SELL AT A PROFIT.
 
To date, the market for alternative fuel technology systems and equipment has not, to our knowledge, been characterized by rapid changes in technology. However, there can be no assurance that new products or technologies, presently unknown to management, will not, at any time in the future and without warning, render our technology less competitive or even obsolete. Technology advances claimed by current competitors may ultimately prove to make our systems obsolete. Major companies, academic and research institutions, or others, for example, could develop new fuels or new devices which could be installed at the original equipment manufacturer level and which could potentially render our systems obsolete. Moreover, our technology could be susceptible to being analyzed and reconstructed by an existing or potential competitor. Although the Company may be the license holder of certain United States patents respecting its proprietary system, we may not have the financial resources to successfully defend such patent, were it to become necessary, by bringing patent infringement suits against parties that have substantially greater resources than those available to us.
 
8

 
In addition, competitors may develop technology and systems that can be sold and installed at a lower per unit cost. There can be no assurance that we will have the capital resources available to undertake the research which may be necessary to upgrade our equipment or develop new devices to meet the efficiencies of changing technologies. Our inability to adapt to technological change could have a materially adverse effect on our results of operations.
 
WE DO NOT MAINTAIN THEFT OR CASUALTY INSURANCE, LIABILITY OR PROPERTY INSURANCE COVERAGE AND THEREFORE WE COULD INCUR LOSSES AS A RESULT OF AN UNINSURED LOSS.

We do not maintain theft, casualty insurance, liability or property insurance coverage. We cannot assure that we will not incur uninsured liabilities and losses as a result of the conduct of our business. Any such uninsured or insured loss or liability could have a material adverse affect on our results of operations.

IF WE LOSE KEY EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS OR ARE UNABLE TO ATTRACT OR RETAIN QUALIFIED PERSONNEL, OUR BUSINESS COULD SUFFER.

Our success is highly dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified scientific, engineering and management personnel. We are highly dependent on our management, including T Riggs Eckelberry, who has been critical to the development of our technology and business. The loss of the services of Mr. Eckelberry could have a material adverse effect on our operations. We do not have an employment agreement with Mr. Eckelberry. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that he will remain associated with us. His efforts will be critical to us as we continue to develop our technology and as we attempt to transition from a development state company to a company with commercialized products and services. If we were to lose Mr. Eckelberry, or any other key employees or consultants, we may experience difficulties in competing effectively, developing our technology and implementing our business strategies.

THE LOSS OF STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS USED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGY COULD IMPEDE OUR ABILITY TO COMPLETE OUR PRODUCT AND RESULT IN A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT CAUSING THE BUSINESS TO SUFFER.

We may rely on strategic relationships with technology development partners to provide technology. A loss of these relationships for any reason could cause us to experience difficulties in completing the development of our product and implementing our business strategy. There can be no assurance that we could establish other relationships of adequate expertise in a timely manner or at all.
 
Risks related to OriginOil’s common stock and its market value:

OUR STOCK WILL LIKELY BE SUBJECT TO THE PENNY STOCK RULES, WHICH IMPOSE SIGNIFICANT RESTRICTIONS ON BROKER-DEALERS AND MAY AFFECT THE RESALE OF OUR STOCK.

A penny stock is generally a stock that:

·
 is not listed on a national securities exchange or NASDAQ,
   
·
 is listed in the "pink sheets" or on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board,
   
·
 has a price per share of less than $5.00 and
   
·
 is issued by a company with net tangible assets less than $5 million.

The penny stock trading rules impose additional duties and responsibilities upon broker-dealers and salespersons effecting purchase and sale transactions in common stock and other equity securities, including:

·
determination of the purchaser's investment suitability,

·
delivery of certain information and disclosures to the purchaser, and

·
receipt of a specific purchase agreement before effecting the purchase transaction.
 
Many broker-dealers will not effect transactions in penny stocks, except on an unsolicited basis, in order to avoid compliance with the penny stock trading rules. In the event our common stock becomes subject to the penny stock trading rules,

·
such rules may materially limit or restrict the ability to resell our common stock, and

·
the liquidity typically associated with other publicly traded equity securities may not exist.
 
Because of the significant restrictions on trading penny stocks, a public market may never emerge for our securities. If this happens, you may never be able to publicly sell your shares.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds for those shares sold by selling shareholders.
 
MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Market Information

Currently, there is no public market for our stock. Our securities are not listed for trading on any exchange or quotation service. We are not required to comply with the disclosure policies of any exchange or quotation service. The requirements to which we would be subject if our securities were so listed typically include the timely disclosure of a material change or fact with respect to our affairs and the making of required filings.

111,428,595 shares of our common stock could potentially be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

Currently, Rule 144 provides, among other things, that persons holding restricted securities for a period of one year may each sell, assuming all of the conditions of Rule 144 are satisfied, in brokerage transactions every three months an amount of restricted securities equal to one percent of our outstanding shares of common stock, or the average weekly reported volume of trading during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice of proposed sale, whichever is greater. Rule 144 also provides that, after holding such securities for a period of two years, a non-affiliate of the company may sell those securities without restriction, other than the requirement that we are current with respect to our information reporting requirements.

The SEC announced on November 15, 2007 that, effective January 15, 2008, the holding period for the resale of restricted securities of reporting companies will be shortened from one year to six months. Additionally, the SEC substantially simplified Rule 144 compliance for non-affiliates by allowing non-affiliates of reporting companies to freely resell restricted securities after satisfying a six-month holding period (subject only to the Rule 144(c) public information requirement until the securities have been held for one year) and by allowing non-affiliates of non-reporting companies to freely resell restricted securities after satisfying a 12-month holding period.
 
There are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, shares of our common stock. There are no outstanding shares of our common stock that we have agreed to register under the Securities Act of 1933 for sale by security holders.

Holders of the Common Stock

As of the date of this registration statement, we have 143,430,050 shares of our $.0001 par value common stock issued and outstanding. There are approximately 212 shareholders of record that hold our common stock.

Dividends

We have never declared nor paid any cash dividends on our common stock. For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the operation and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate declaring or paying any dividends on our common stock. Dividends are declared at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors.
 
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
 
We have proposed a selling price of $0.10 per share. The offering price has no relationship to any established criteria of value, such as book value or earnings per share. Consequently, we cannot determine what the actual value of our common stock will be either now or at the time of sale. The selling security holders may sell all or a portion of their shares in the over-the-counter market at prices prevailing at the time of sale, or related to the market price at the time of sale, or at other negotiated prices.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Some of the information in this prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as "may," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate" and "continue," or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they:
 
·
discuss our future expectations;
 
·
contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial condition; and
 
·
state other "forward-looking" information.
 
We believe it is important to communicate our expectations. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or over which we have no control. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under "Risk Factors," "Business" and elsewhere in this prospectus. See "Risk Factors."
 
OVERVIEW
 
Our business focuses on developing a technology that it believes can transform algae into an alternative to petroleum. The Company’s patent-pending OriginOil System is an advanced bioreactor (growth vessel) system where microalgae can be rapidly grown and cracked to extract algae oil for fuel and chemical production. The OriginOil System can be configured to have many bioreactors for high volume round-the-clock oil production.

We intend to be a technology provider to the growing alternative energy and biofuel industry. Therefore, while we intend to sell complete algae oil production systems, we will also pursue co-ventures and licensing agreements with large-scale producers. As a technology company, we do not plan on becoming a marketer of end products such as biodiesel and other fuels.

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 1, 2007. Our principal executive offices are located at 2029 Century Park East, 14 th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90067 . Our telephone number is (404) 202-6944. Our website address is www.originoil.com. Our fiscal year end is December 31.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, deferred tax assets and fair value computation using the Black Scholes option pricing model. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions, such as the trading value of our common stock and estimated future undiscounted cash flows, that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates, including those for the above-described items, are reasonable.
 
Revenue Recognition

Revenue on product sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, such as when a purchase order or contract is received from the customer, the selling price is fixed, title to the goods has changed and there is a reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds.  We obtain written purchase authorizations from our customers for a specified amount of product at a specified price and consider delivery to have occurred at the time of shipment.  Revenue is recognized at shipment and we record a reserve for estimated sales returns, which is reflected as a reduction of revenue at the time of revenue recognition. We defer revenue on products sold directly to the consumer with a fifteen day right of return. Revenue is recognized upon the expiration of the right of return.

Revenues from research and development activities relating to firm fixed-price contracts are generally recognized on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting as costs are incurred (cost-to-cost basis).  Revenues from research and development activities relating to cost-plus-fee contracts include costs incurred plus a portion of estimated fees or profits based on the relationship of costs incurred to total estimated costs.  Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and an allocation of allowable indirect costs as defined by each contract, as periodically adjusted to reflect revised agreed upon rates. These rates are subject to audit by the other party.

Use of Estimates

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management utilizes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions relate to recording net revenue, collectibility of accounts receivable, useful lives and impairment of tangible and intangible assets, accruals, income taxes, inventory realization, stock-based compensation expense and other factors. Management believes it has exercised reasonable judgment in deriving these estimates. Consequently, a change in conditions could affect these estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's cash, cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable are stated at cost which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued two FASB Staff Positions - FSP FAS 109-1, Application of FASB Statement 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, and FSP FAS 109-2 Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. Neither of these affected the Company as it does not participate in the related activities.
 
In May 2005, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” This new standard replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements,” and represents another step in the FASB’s goal to converge its standards with those issued by the IASB. Among other changes, Statement 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. Statement 154 also provides that (1) a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived non-financial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate (prospectively) that was effected by a change in accounting principle, and (2) correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a “restatement.” The new standard is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption of this standard is permitted for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of Statement 154 and does not believe the impact will be significant to the Company's overall results of operations or financial position
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2007, we had $870,593 of working capital as compared to a working deficit of $(31,265) from inception (June 1, 2007) through June 30, 2007. This increase of $901,858 was due primarily to private placements of shares of common stock pursuant to Subscription Agreements which we entered into with accredited and/or institutional buyers.

Cash flow used in operating activities was $145,363 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to cash used of $46,199 from inception (June 1, 2007) through June 30, 2007. This increase of $99,164 was primarily attributable to an increase in professional fees and salaries.

Cash provided from financing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $985,750 as compared to $97,563 from inception (June 1, 2007) through June 30, 2007. From inception to September 30, 2007, we received a total of $1,083,313 from the sale of shares of common stock through private placements pursuant to Subscription Agreements which we entered into with accredited and/or institutional buyers.

Our financial statements for the period June 30, 2007 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued their report dated November 30, 2007 that included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern without additional capital becoming available. Our ability to continue as a going concern ultimately is dependent on our ability to generate a profit which is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies and, ultimately, to achieve profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
PLAN OF OPERATION AND FINANCING NEEDS

Our business focuses on developing a technology that it believes can transform algae into an alternative to petroleum. We plan to productize this technology and thereafter focus our efforts on establishing algae producer alliances and global market distribution by 2010.
 
12

 
Initially, we will build a series of test systems and carry out test scenarios to determine what configurations are most effective in improving the algae growth and extraction processes. We will document these as best practices for cost-effective production. We will also look for opportunities to develop additional intellectual property around these processes.

We have budgeted $300,000 and six months for this testing, documentation and further invention. This includes the test equipment. One additional full-time employee and a part-time contractor will be required to execute this phase.

Once this is done, we will negotiate co-ventures and partnerships with algae producers and refiners. We will seek these partnerships throughout the world. We have budgeted $400,000 for the negotiation and implementation of these ventures. Existing staff will carry out the negotiations and oversee the implementations. We expect these ventures to generate some limited revenue but the amount is not known.

After contingencies, we expect to complete the year’s operations with $300,000 remaining in cash. This will enable us to keep a reserve as we pursue additional financing for the second and subsequent years of operation.
 
Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and from inception (June1, 2007) through September 30, 2007 were $156,702 and $209,883 respectively, and consisted primarily of general and administrative expenses.
 
Net Loss

Our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2007, and from inception (June 1, 2007) through September 30, 2007 were $154,800 and $207,978 respectively. Currently the Company is in its development stage and had no revenues.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
Organizational History

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 1, 2007.

We have only been engaged in our current and proposed business operations since June 2007, and to date, we have been primarily involved in research and development activities. Accordingly, we have no operating history, nor have we achieved any revenues to date.

Overview of Business

OriginOil, Inc. is developing a technology that it believes can transform algae into an alternative to petroleum. The Company’s patent-pending OriginOil System is an advanced bioreactor (growth vessel) system where microalgae can be rapidly grown and cracked to extract algae oil for fuel and chemical production. The OriginOil System can be configured to have many bioreactors for high volume round-the-clock oil production.

There are three primary challenges in cultivating algae for oil:

1. Algae growth is dependent on a calm fluid environment; it does not like agitation. One of the primary challenges is how to optimally introduce carbon dioxide (CO2) and nutrients needed by the growing algae culture without disrupting or over-aerating it.

2. Algae requires light as a source of energy to fuel its growth and oil production facilities. Algae cultivation systems need to cost-effectively and evenly distribute light within the algae culture.

3. Algae organisms are protected by a tough cell wall. That wall must be cracked - an energy-expensive process - to extract the oil. The challenge is to maximize oil yield by cracking as many of the algae cells as possible with the smallest amount of energy.

Within the OriginOil System is the Company’s patent pending technology, Quantum Fracturing™. The technology, based on the science of mass transfer and fluid fracturing, addresses these primary challenges. In Quantum Fracturing, water, carbon dioxide and other nutrients are ‘fractured’ (alternatively, ‘micronized’) to create a slurry of micron-sized bubbles, which is then injected into the algae culture growing in a lower-pressure bioreactor. This process achieves improved distribution of nutrients in the algae culture without excessive fluid disruption or aeration. Pressure differentials between the two zones substantially increase contact and exchange between the micronized nutrients and the algae culture. We believe that it is this increased contact interface that we can exploit to enable very high absorption of CO2 and nutrients in the growth phase and very efficient cracking of the cell membranes in the extraction phase.

The OriginOil System starts with the Quantum Fracturing Unit injecting a micronized nutrient mix into an incubated algae culture in each bioreactor. Inside the bioreactor, a proprietary rod and paddle mechanism continuously diffuses the algae/nutrient mix for best nutrient contact and access to light for all algae cells.

Inside the bioreactor is an intricate network of low energy light emitting diodes (LED) and other lighting technologies that are placed close to the algae culture and controlled through a light diffuser to ensure proper distribution. We believe this greatly enhances the energy and growth efficiency of our bioreactor.

Once it has reached the desired level of oil potential, the mature algae is harvested. In this process the system causes the algae cells to rotate and float to the top of the water line where they can be collected for extraction.

In extraction, the Quantum Fracturing Unit again goes to work, fracturing a solution of proprietary catalysts that is injected into the extraction tank. The fracturing effect is so intense that it can create an ultrasonic effect that literally “cracks” the algae cell wall open and releases the oil.

We believe that using Quantum Fracturing, the amount of energy used to crack the algae is many times less than other extraction technologies.

Next, the oil, water and remaining algae mass are separated. The water is recycled back into the system, the oil is packaged for refining and distribution, and the algae mass can be used for other environmentally-friendly applications like ethanol, animal feed, and construction materials.

Marketing Strategy
 
We plan to market our technology to help producers scale systems from the smallest single bioreactor unit to large refinery scale operations. As part of our marketing plan, we will target existing energy and fuel producers who desire a replacement for petroleum in their production of gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, heating oil and other products.
 
Our marketing communications strategy will include media and analyst communication, on-line promotions, weblogs, and selected trade show attendance. We will be using every opportunity to place our brand in general and industry specific publications, using press releases, white papers and authored articles and Internet publications.

Compliance with Environmental Laws and Regulations

Our operations are subject to local, state and federal laws and regulations governing environmental quality and pollution control . To date, our compliance with these regulations has had no material effect on our operations, capital, earnings, or competitive position, and the cost of such compliance has not been material. We are unable to assess or predict at this time what effect additional regulations or legislation could have on our activities.
 
Manufacturing and Distribution

The Company will use licensing and partnering strategies to enter the market. The Company intends to manufacture and distribute its technology through licensing agreements and partnering strategies with unidentified third parties.

Intellectual Property

We have filed a patent application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect the intellectual property rights for “Algae Growth System for Oil Production”. The inventors listed on the patent application are Nicholas Eckelberry and T Riggs Eckelberry, the Company’s founders. The Company is listed as the assignee.

Competition

We have identified other companies producing algae for the purpose of creating feedstocks for fuel. Several of these companies have advertised technology which they claim will enable the efficient production of algal oil and other algae culture derivatives. There is no guarantee that our company’s technology will produce more efficiently or cost-effectively than these other technologies.

The market for the manufacture, marketing and the sale of alternative fuels is highly competitive. Such competition could drive up the cost of retaining qualified engineers, chemists and other key employees, as well as other operating expenses. Moreover, if production capacity in the industry increases faster than demand for alternative fuels, sales prices could be depressed. Increases in the alternative energies as well as falling oil prices may negatively affect demand and the competitive position of our technology.

Competition from other alternative fuels will likely increase if prices of energy on the commodities markets, including oil and bio-diesel, rise, as they have in recent years. Additionally, new companies are constantly entering the market, thus increasing the competition. This could also have a negative impact on us or our customers’ ability to obtain additional capital from investors. Larger foreign owned and domestic companies which have been engaged in the alternative energy business for substantially longer periods of time may have access to greater financial and other resources. These companies may have greater success in the recruitment and retention of qualified employees, as well as in conducting their own fuel manufacturing and marketing operations, which may give them a competitive advantage. In addition, actual or potential competitors may be strengthened through the acquisition of additional assets and interests. If we or our customers are unable to compete effectively or adequately respond to competitive pressures, this may materially adversely affect our results of operation and financial condition.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

This prospectus relates to a total of 32,001,455 shares of common stock of OriginOil, Inc., a Nevada corporation.

An aggregate of up to 32,001,455 shares of our common stock may be offered and sold pursuant to this Prospectus by the selling security holders. The selling security holders acquired these shares from us in a series of private placements conducted between June and Novmeber of 2007. We will not receive any of the proceeds resulting from the sale of the shares held by the selling security holders.

We have proposed a fixed selling price of $0.10 per share. Non-affiliated selling shareholders must sell at this price until a public market is established for our shares or until the prevailing market dictates otherwise. At such time, the selling security holders may sell our common stock in the over-the-counter market; on any securities exchange on which our common stock is or becomes listed or traded; in negotiated transactions; or otherwise. The selling security holders may sell our common stock at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, or at prices related to the market price, or at other negotiated prices. The shares will not be sold in an underwritten public offering.

The 32,001,455 shares may be sold directly or through brokers or dealers. Each of the selling security holders and any broker-dealers participating in their sales of our stock may be deemed underwriters within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933. Any profit on the sale of shares by the selling security holders and any commissions or discounts given to participating broker-dealers may be deemed underwriting commissions or discounts. Underwriters must comply with time and volume restrictions on sales of stock under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933. Rule 144 restricts sales by underwriters, brokers, dealers and affiliates of the registrant. Subject to Rule 144, any selling security holders who are deemed underwriters would be prevented from selling their shares for a period of one year after the shares were paid for and would not be able to sell more that 10% of the total outstanding shares during any ninety day period. These regulations could impact the ability of the shareholders to sell their shares.
 
Penny Stock Regulation

Our common stock is subject to Securities and Exchange Commission rules regulating broker-dealer transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in those securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which contains the following:

·
 a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;

·
 a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the customer’s rights and remedies with respect to violation of such duties;

·
 a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;

·
 a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;

·
 definitions of significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and

·
 such other information in such form—including language, type, size and format—as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation.

 Before effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer must also provide the customer the following:

·
 the bid and ask quotations for the penny stock;

·
 the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
 
26

 
·
 the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and

·
 monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.

In addition, the penny stock rules require that before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. Holders of shares of our common stock may have difficulty selling those shares because our common stock will probably be subject to the penny stock rules.
 
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors; Insurance
 
Our Articles of Incorporation limit the liability of directors to the maximum extent permitted by Nevada law. Nevada law provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for:
 
 
·
any breach of their duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders;
 
 
·
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
 
 
·
unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or
 
 
·
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
 
Our Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors, officers, employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by law. We believe that indemnification under our Bylaws covers at least negligence and gross negligence on the part of indemnified parties. Our Bylaws also permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in connection with their services to us, regardless of whether our Bylaws permit such indemnification.
 
There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors or officers as to which indemnification is required or permitted, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification.
 
Insofar as an indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, may be permitted for directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission each indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
 
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Our articles of incorporation provide that no director or officer shall be personally liable for damages for breach of fiduciary duty for any act or omission unless such acts or omissions involve intentional misconduct, fraud, knowing violation of law, or payment of dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.

Our bylaws provide that we shall indemnify any and all of our present or former directors and officers, or any person who may have served at our request as director or officer of another corporation in which we own stock or of which we are a creditor, for expenses actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any action, except where such officer or director is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in performance of duty. To the extent that a director has been successful in defense of any proceeding, the Nevada Revised Statutes provide that he shall be indemnified against reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith.

To the extent that indemnification may be available to our directors and officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy and therefore unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against such liabilities—other than our paying expenses incurred by one of our directors or officers in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding—is asserted by one of our directors or officers in connection with the securities being registered in this offering, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Act, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-UNAUDITED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2007
1.   ORGANIZATION AND LINE OF BUSINESS

Organization

OriginOil, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Nevada on June 1, 2007. The Company, based in Los Angeles, California, began operations on June 1, 2007 to develop and market a renewable oil technology .

The accompanying interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the period ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007. For further information, refer to the audited financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2007 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Report.

Line of Business
 
The Company is currently in the stage of developing a technology that will transform algae, the most promising source of renewable oil, into a competitor to petroleum.  The technology was invented by the two founders, Nicholas Eckelberry and T Riggs Eckelberry. By the terms of their Employee Confidentiality and Inventions Agreements, their inventions are the company’s property. The technology will produce "new oil" from algae, through a cost-effective, high-speed manufacturing process. This supply of new oil can be used for many products such as diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, plastics and solvents without the global warming effects of petroleum.
 
Going Concern
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company does not generate significant revenue, and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusion. The Company has obtained funds from its shareholders since its’ inception through the period ended September 30, 2007. Management believes this funding will continue, and has also obtained funding from new investors in the amount of $1,083,313. Management believes the existing shareholders and the prospective new investors will provide the additional cash needed to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due, and will allow the development of its core of business.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of significant accounting policies of OriginOil, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Development Stage Activities and Operations
 
The Company has been in its initial stages of formation and for the period ended September 30, 2007, had no revenues. FASB #7 defines a development stage activity as one in which all efforts are devoted substantially to establishing a new business and even if planned principal operations have commenced, revenues are insignificant.

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company will recognize revenue when services are performed, and at the time of shipment of products, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. To date, the Company has had no revenues and is in the development stage.

Cash and Cash Equivalent
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  

Loss per Share Calculations
 
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128 for the calculation of “Loss per Share”. SFAS No. 128 dictates the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the period ended September 30, 2007 as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss.

3.
CAPITAL STOCK

 
During the period ended September 30, 2007, the Company issued 90,250,000 founders shares of common stock at a price of $0.00025 for cash of $22,563; 11,000,000 shares of common stock issued through a private placement at the price of $0.00025 for cash of $2,750; 28,000,000 shares of common stock were issued through a private placement at a price of $0.015 for cash of $420,000; the private placement was made pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; the Company received $638,000 for the purchase of 6,380,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.10 per share.
 
4.
RELATED PARTY

 
During the period ended September 30, 2007, the Company repaid the investor loan in the amount of $75,000. The interest of $375 was forgiven was by the related party.
 
7.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 
During November 2007, the Company issued 14,180,050 shares of common stock for $0.10 per share in the amount of $1,418,005, pursuant to a private placement made pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors
OriginOil, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Los Angeles, California

We have audited the balance sheet of OriginOil, Inc. (a development stage company) as of June 30, 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period from inception on June 1, 2007 through June 30, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provided a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of OriginOil, Inc. (a development stage company) as of June 30, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from inception on June 1, 2007 through June 30, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has not generated any revenue, and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern . Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

This summary of significant accounting policies of OriginOil, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Cash and Cash Equivalent
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements. Significant estimates made in preparing these financial statements include the estimate of useful lives of property and equipment, the deferred tax valuation allowance, and the fair value of stock options. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment will be stated at cost, and will be depreciated using the modified accelerated cost recovery system (macrs) method over 3-10 years.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, requires disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of June 30, 2007, the amounts reported for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued interest and other expenses, and notes payable approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.

Loss per Share Calculations
 
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128 for the calculation of “Loss per Share”. SFAS No. 128 dictates the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the period ended June 30, 2007 as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss.

Income Taxes
 
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of applicable tax law. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance based on the amount of tax benefits that, based on available evidence, is not expected to be realized.

Advertising Costs
 
The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promotional materials when incurred. Total advertising costs were $5,100 for the period ended June 30, 2007.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure. This Statement amends SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on the reported results.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151 "Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. The amendments made by Statement 151 clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges and require the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The guidance is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after November 23, 2004. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of SFAS 151, and does not believe the impact will be significant to the Company's overall results of operations or financial position.

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-based Payment. SFAS 123R revises SFAS 123 and supersedes APB 25. SFAS 123R will be effective for the period ending December 31, 2006, and applies to transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services and also applies to liabilities an entity may incur for goods or services that are to follow a fair value of those equity instruments. Under SFAS 123R, we will be required to follow a fair value approach using an option-pricing model, such as the Black Scholes option valuation model, at the date of a stock option grant. The deferred compensation calculated under the fair value method would then be amortized over the respective vesting period of the stock option. The adoption of SFAS 123R is expected to have a material impact on our results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions."The amendments made by Statement 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Previously, Opinion 29 required that the accounting for an exchange of a productive asset for a similar productive asset or an equivalent interest in the same or similar productive asset should be based on the recorded amount of the asset relinquished. Opinion 29 provided an exception to its basic measurement principle (fair value) for exchanges of similar productive assets. The Board believes that exception required that some nonmonetary exchanges, although commercially substantive, be recorded on a carryover basis. By focusing the exception on exchanges that lack commercial substance, the Board believes this Statement produces financial reporting that more faithfully represents the economics of the transactions. The Statement is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after the date of issuance. The provisions of this Statement shall be applied prospectively. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of SFAS 153, and does not believe the impact will be significant to the Company's overall results of operations or financial position.

 
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued two FASB Staff Positions - FSP FAS 109-1, Application of FASB Statement 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, and FSP FAS 109-2 Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. Neither of these affected the Company as it does not participate in the related activities.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In March 2005, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, “Share-Based Payment” (“SAB 107”), which provides interpretive guidance related to the interaction between SFAS 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations. It also provides the SEC staff’s views regarding valuation of share-based payment arrangements. In April 2005, the SEC amended the compliance dates for SFAS 123(R), to allow companies to implement the standard at the beginning of their next fiscal year, instead of the next reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005. Management is currently evaluating the impact SAB 107 will have on our condensed financial statements.

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” (“FIN 47”). FIN 47 provides guidance relating to the identification of and financial reporting for legal obligations to perform an asset retirement activity. The Interpretation requires recognition of a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 also defines when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. The provision is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company will adopt FIN 47 beginning the first period ending June 30, 2007, and does not believe the adoption will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2005, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” This new standard replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements,” and represents another step in the FASB’s goal to converge its standards with those issued by the IASB. Among other changes, Statement 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. Statement 154 also provides that (1) a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived non-financial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate (prospectively) that was effected by a change in accounting principle, and (2) correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a “restatement.” The new standard is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption of this standard is permitted for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005 . The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of Statement 154 and does not believe the impact will be significant to the Company's overall results of operations or financial position.

In February of 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments”, which is intended to simplify the accounting and improve the financial reporting of certain hybrid financial instruments (i.e., derivatives embedded in other financial instruments). The statement amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125.” SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments issued or acquired after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006.. The Company is currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 155 will have on its financial statements, if any.

CAPITAL STOCK

At June 30, 2007, the Company’s authorized stock consists of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. During the period ended June 30, 2007, the Company issued no shares; the Company received $22,563 for the purchase of 90,250,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.0025 per share.

RENTAL LEASE

DEFERRED TAX BENEFIT
   
 
At June 30, 2007, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $59,139 that may be offset against future taxable income from the year 2007 through 2027. No tax benefit has been reported in the June 30,2007 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

 
The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate to pretax income from continuing operations for the period ended June 30, 2007 due to the following:

Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible differences and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the difference between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Net deferred tax liabilities consist of the following components as of June 30, 2007:

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry-forwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
 
Item 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Our articles of incorporation provide that no director or officer shall be personally liable for damages for breach of fiduciary duty for any act or omission unless such acts or omissions involve intentional misconduct, fraud, knowing violation of law, or payment of dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.

Our bylaws provide that we shall indemnify any and all of our present or former directors and officers, or any person who may have served at our request as director or officer of another corporation in which we own stock or of which we are a creditor, for expenses actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any action, except where such officer or director is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in performance of duty. To the extent that a director has been successful in defense of any proceeding, the Nevada Revised Statutes provide that he shall be indemnified against reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to:

(1) File, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");

(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of the securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement, and

(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.

(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.

(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

(4) For determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned small business issuer;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned small business issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned small business issuer to the purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the chairman of the meeting or the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or by means of remote communication, if any, or represented by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. If the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting as provided in Section 2.5 .

Prompt notice of the taking of corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Nevada (by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested), to its principal place of business or to an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings or meetings of stockholders are recorded.

If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors, the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.
 
Section 3.9   Action Without a Meeting . Unless otherwise restricted by the NRS, the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or such committee. Such filing shall be in paper form (including a paper copy of an electronic transmission) if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.
 
Section 3.10   Telephonic/Electronic Meeting . Unless otherwise restricted by the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws, members of the Board of Directors, or any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors, or any committee, by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member.

The directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors or a stated salary as director.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

ORIGINOIL, INC.

OriginOil, Inc. (the "Company") has authorized for sale to the subscribers set forth on the signature page attached hereto an aggregate of 101,250,000 shares of common stock (“Shares”), $.0001 par value common stock (“Common Stock”). T he undersigned hereby subscribes for __________ shares (the “Shares”) of common stock at a price of $_________ per share, representing a total purchase price of $_________ (the “Subscription Price”).

The undersigned agrees to pay the aggregate Subscription Price for the Shares being purchased hereunder. The entire purchase price is due and payable upon the submission of this Subscription Agreement and shall be payable by wire transfer or check.
   
The Company has the right to reject this subscription in whole or in part.
 
The undersigned acknowledges that the Shares being purchased hereunder and its component securities will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), or the securities laws of any state (the “State Acts”), in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act and the State Acts; that absent an exemption from registration contained in the Act and the State Acts, the Shares, would require registration; and that the Company's reliance upon such exemptions is based, in material part, upon the undersigned's representations, warranties, and agreements contained in this Subscription Agreement (the "Subscription Documents").

1.   The undersigned represents, warrants, and agrees as follows:

a.   The undersigned agrees that this Subscription Agreement is and shall be irrevocable.

b.   The undersigned is intimately involved with the operations of the Company and understands its business operations (the “Business”). The undersigned has been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this Offering and the Business and to obtain such additional information, to the extent the Company possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify the accuracy of same as the undersigned reasonably desires in order to evaluate the investment. The undersigned understands the Business, and the undersigned has had the opportunity to discuss any questions regarding the Business with his counsel or other advisor. The undersigned has received no representations or warranties from the Company and its Business, its employees, agents or attorneys, in making this investment decision. The undersigned does not desire to receive any further information.
 
 
1

 

c.   The undersigned is aware that the purchase of the Shares is a speculative investment involving a high degree of risk, that there is no guarantee that the undersigned will realize any gain from this investment, and that the undersigned could lose the total amount of this investment.

d.   The undersigned understands that no federal or state agency has made any finding or determination regarding the fairness of the Shares for investment, or any recommendation or endorsement of the Share.

e.   The undersigned is purchasing the Shares for the undersigned's own account, with the intention of holding the Shares with no present intention of dividing or allowing others to participate in this investment or of reselling or otherwise participating, directly or indirectly, in a distribution of the Shares, and shall not make any sale, transfer, or pledge thereof without registration under the Act and any applicable securities laws of any state or unless an exemption from registration is available under those laws.

f.   The undersigned represents that if an individual, he has adequate means of providing for his or her current needs and personal and family contingencies and has no need for liquidity in this investment in the Shares. The undersigned has no reason to anticipate any material change in his or her personal financial condition for the foreseeable future.

g.   The undersigned is financially able to bear the economic risk of this investment, including the ability to hold the Shares indefinitely, or to afford a complete loss of his investment in the Shares.

h.   The undersigned represents that the undersigned's overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the undersigned's net worth, and the undersigned's investment in the Shares will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive. The undersigned understands that the statutory basis on which the Shares are being sold to the undersigned and others would not be available if the undersigned's present intention were to hold the Shares for a fixed period or until the occurrence of a certain event. The undersigned realizes that in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, a purchase now with a present intent to resell by reason of a foreseeable specific contingency or any anticipated change in the market value, or in the condition of the Company, or that of the industry in which the business of the Company is engaged or in connection with a contemplated liquidation, or settlement of any loan obtained by the undersigned for the acquisition of the Shares, and for which such Shares may be pledged as security or as donations to religious or charitable institutions for the purpose of securing a deduction on an income tax return, would, in fact, represent a purchase with an intent inconsistent with the undersigned's representations to the Company, and the Commission would then regard such sale as a sale for which the exemption from registration is not available. The undersigned will not pledge, transfer or assign this Subscription Agreement.

i.   The undersigned represents that the funds provided for this investment are either separate property of the undersigned, community property over which the undersigned has the right of control, or are otherwise funds as to which the undersigned has the sole right of management. The undersigned is purchasing the Shares with the funds of the undersigned and not with the funds of any other person, firm, or entity and is acquiring the Shares for the undersigned's account. No person other than the undersigned has any beneficial interest in the Shares being purchased hereunder.

j.   The address shown under the undersigned's signature at the end of this Subscription Agreement is the undersigned's principal residence if he or she is an individual, or its principal business address if it is a corporation or other entity.

l.   The undersigned has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares.

m.   The undersigned acknowledges that the certificates for the Shares which the undersigned will receive will contain a legend substantially as follows:

   
THE SECURITIES WHICH ARE REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"). THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES ONLY AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO DISTRIBUTION OR RESALE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, MADE SUBJECT TO A SECURITY INTEREST, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT"), AS AMENDED, OR EVIDENCE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT.
 
The undersigned further acknowledges that a stop transfer order will be placed upon the certificates for the securities in accordance with the Act. The undersigned further acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to aid the undersigned in obtaining any exemption from registration requirements.

n.   The undersigned represents that he is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined under the Act.

o.   The undersigned understands that, the Company intends to offer additional shares of common stock in one or more private offerings (the Private Offerings”). After the completion of the Private Offerings, the Company intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) an SB-2 registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) to register certain shares of common stock sold in its Private Offerings and to exercise its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective. The Company has also agreed to request a broker-dealer to file the approval application with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”) to secure the listing or quotation of its Common Stock on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board market maintained by the NASD.

As inducement to the purchasers of the Private Offerings and to NASD market makers to establish a public market for the common stock, the undersigned hereby agrees that from the date hereof and until two (2) years after the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC (the “Lock-up Term”), the undersigned will not sell or offer to sell any unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock which the undersigned owns as may be permitted pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Act.

Any shares of common stock acquired by the undersigned in the Private Offerings and included in the Registration Statement will not be subject to the lock-up provisions of this Agreement.

Once the Lock-up Term has expired, the undersigned will be entitled to piggyback registration rights. If the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Act with respect to an offering for its own account of any class of its equity securities (other than a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form) or any other registration statement relating solely to employee benefit plans or filed in connection with an exchange offer, a transaction to which Rule 415 (or any successor provision) under the Act applies to an offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing shareholders), then the Company shall in each case give written notice of such proposed filing to the undersigned as soon as practicable (but no later than 20 business days) before the anticipated filing date, and such notice shall offer the undersigned the opportunity to register such number of Founders Shares the undersigned may request. The undersigned shall so advise the Company in writing within 10 business days after the date on which the Company’s notice is given, setting forth the number of Shares for which registration is requested. If the Company’s offering is to be an underwritten offering, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the managing underwriter to permit the undersigned to include the requested of Shares in such offering on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included therein. Once the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC, the undersigned will not sell or distribute more than 25% of their Shares included in the registration every ninety (90) days.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to decline to remove restrictive legends from any share certificates held by the undersigned if such removal would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement. An appropriate restrictive legend describing the Lock-up Term and this Agreement may be affixed to the certificate representing the Shares.

3.   The Company has been duly and validly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing as a corporation under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company represents that it has all requisite power and authority, and all necessary authorizations, approvals and orders required as of the date hereof to enter into this Subscription Agreement and to be bound by the provisions and conditions hereof.

4.   Except as otherwise specifically provided for hereunder, no party shall be deemed to have waived any of his or its rights hereunder or under any other agreement, instrument or papers signed by any of them with respect to the subject matter hereof unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the party waiving said right. Except as otherwise specifically provided for hereunder, no delay or omission by any party in exercising any right with respect to the subject matter hereof shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any such other right. A waiver on any one occasion with respect to the subject matter hereof shall not be construed as a bar to, or waiver of, any right or remedy on any future occasion. All rights and remedies with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether evidenced hereby or by any other agreement, instrument, or paper, will be cumulative, and may be exercised separately or concurrently.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) made as of the last date set forth on the signature page hereof between OriginOil, Inc. (the “Company”), and the undersigned (the “Subscriber”).
 
WITNESSETH:
 
WHEREAS, the Company is conducting a private offering (the “Offering”) consisting of up to 1 5,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share (“Shares”); and
 
WHEREAS, the Subscriber desires to purchase that number of Shares set forth on the signature page hereof on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual representations and covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:
 
I.
SUBSCRIPTION FOR SHARES AND REPRESENTATIONS BY SUBSCRIBER
 
1.1   Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth and in the Confidential Offering Memorandum dated August 3, 2007 (such memorandum, together with all amendments thereof and supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Memorandum”), the Subscriber hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company such number of Shares, and the Company agrees to sell to the Subscriber as is set forth on the signature page hereof, at a per share price equal to $0.10 per Share. The purchase price is payable by personal or business check or money order made payable to “OriginOil, Inc.” contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Subscriber.

Wiring ABA:  

1.2   The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of the Shares involves a high degree of risk including, but not limited to, the following: (a) the Company remains a development stage business with limited operating history and requires substantial funds in addition to the proceeds of the Offering; (b) an investment in the Company is highly speculative, and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the Shares; (c) the Subscriber may not be able to liquidate its investment; (d) transferability of the Shares (sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Securities”) is extremely limited; (e) in the event of a disposition, the Subscriber could sustain the loss of its entire investment; (f) the Company has not paid any dividends since its inception and does not anticipate paying any dividends; and (g) the Company may issue additional securities in the future which have rights and preferences that are senior to those of the Common Stock. Without limiting the generality of the representations set forth in Section 1.5 below, the Subscriber represents that the Subscriber has carefully reviewed the section of the Memorandum captioned “Risk Factors.”
 
1

 
1.3   The Subscriber represents that the Subscriber is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as indicated by the Subscriber’s responses to the questions contained in Article VII hereof, and that the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares.
 
1.4   The Subscriber hereby acknowledges and represents that (a) the Subscriber has knowledge and experience in business and financial matters, prior investment experience, including investment in securities that are non-listed, unregistered and/or not traded on a national securities exchange nor on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”) automated quotation system (“NASDAQ”), or the Subscriber has employed the services of a “purchaser representative” (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D), attorney and/or accountant to read all of the documents furnished or made available by the Company both to the Subscriber and to all other prospective investors in the Shares to evaluate the merits and risks of such an investment on the Subscriber’s behalf; (b) the Subscriber recognizes the highly speculative nature of this investment; and (c) the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk that the Subscriber hereby assumes.
 
1.5   The Subscriber hereby acknowledges receipt and careful review of this Agreement, the Memorandum (which includes the Risk Factors), including all exhibits thereto, and any documents which may have been made available upon request as reflected therein (collectively referred to as the “Offering Materials”) and hereby represents that the Subscriber has been furnished by the Company during the course of the Offering with all information regarding the Company, the terms and conditions of the Offering and any additional information that the Subscriber has requested or desired to know, and has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers or other representatives of the Company concerning the Company and the terms and conditions of the Offering.
 
1.6 ( a)   In making the decision to invest in the Shares the Subscriber has relied solely upon the information provided by the Company in the Offering Materials. To the extent necessary, the Subscriber has retained, at its own expense, and relied upon appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits and consequences of this Agreement and the purchase of the Shares hereunder. The Subscriber disclaims reliance on any statements made or information provided by any person or entity in the course of Subscriber’s consideration of an investment in the Shares other than the Offering Materials.
 
(b)   The Subscriber represents that (i) the Subscriber was contacted regarding the sale of the Shares by the Company (or an authorized agent or representative thereof) with whom the Subscriber had a prior substantial pre-existing relationship and (ii) no Shares were offered or sold to it by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising, and in connection therewith, the Subscriber did not (A) receive or review any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in a newspaper or magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, whether closed circuit, or generally available; or (B) attend any seminar meeting or industry investor conference whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

1.7   The Subscriber hereby represents that the Subscriber, either by reason of the Subscriber’s business or financial experience or the business or financial experience of the Subscriber’s professional advisors (who are unaffiliated with and not compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly), has the capacity to protect the Subscriber’s own interests in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby.
 
1.8   The Subscriber hereby acknowledges that the Offering has not been reviewed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state regulatory authority since the Offering is intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Subscriber understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities or “blue sky” laws and agrees not to sell, pledge, assign or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Securities unless they are registered under the Securities Act and under any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available.
 
1.9   The Subscriber understands that the Securities comprising the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act that depends, in part, upon the Subscriber’s investment intention. In this connection, the Subscriber hereby represents that the Subscriber is purchasing the Securities for the Subscriber’s own account for investment and not with a view toward the resale or distribution to others. The Subscriber, if an entity, further represents that it was not formed for the purpose of purchasing the Securities.
 
1.10   The Subscriber understands that there is no public market for the Common Stock and that no market may develop for any of such Securities. The Subscriber understands that even if a public market develops for such Securities, Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) promulgated under the Securities Act requires for non-affiliates, among other conditions, a one-year holding period prior to the resale (in limited amounts) of securities acquired in a non-public offering without having to satisfy the registration requirements under the Securities Act. The Subscriber understands and hereby acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to register any of the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws other than as set forth in Article V.
 
1.11   The Subscriber consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate or other document evidencing the Securities that such Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof contained in this Agreement. The Subscriber is aware that the Company will make a notation in its appropriate records with respect to the restrictions on the transferability of such Securities. The legend to be placed on each certificate shall be in form substantially similar to the following:
 
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY LAWS,” AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED ABSENT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER SUCH ACT, OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”
 
3

 
1.12   The Subscriber understands that the Company will review this Agreement and is hereby given authority by the Subscriber to call Subscriber’s bank or place of employment or otherwise review the financial standing of the Subscriber; and it is further agreed that the Company, at its sole discretion, reserves the unrestricted right, without further documentation or agreement on the part of the Subscriber, to reject or limit any subscription, to accept subscriptions for fractional Shares and to close the Offering to the Subscriber at any time and that the Company will issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent with respect to such Securities.
 
1.13   The Subscriber hereby represents that the address of the Subscriber furnished by Subscriber on the signature page hereof is the Subscriber’s principal residence if Subscriber is an individual or its principal business address if it is a corporation or other entity.
 
1.14   The Subscriber represents that the Subscriber has full power and authority (corporate, statutory and otherwise) to execute and deliver this Agreement and to purchase the Shares. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Subscriber, enforceable against the Subscriber in accordance with its terms.
 
1.15   If the Subscriber is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, employee benefit plan, individual retirement account, Keogh Plan, or other tax-exempt entity, it is authorized and qualified to invest in the Company and the person signing this Agreement on behalf of such entity has been duly authorized by such entity to do so.
 
1.16   The Subscriber acknowledges that if he or she is a Registered Representative of an NASD member firm, he or she must give such firm the notice required by the NASD’s Rules of Fair Practice, receipt of which must be acknowledged by such firm in Section 7.4 below.
 
1.17   The Subscriber acknowledges that at such time, if ever, as the Securities are registered (as such term is defined in Article V hereof), sales of the Securities will be subject to state securities laws.
 
1.18 (a )   The Subscriber agrees not to issue any public statement with respect to the Subscriber’s investment or proposed investment in the Company or the terms of any agreement or covenant between them and the Company without the Company’s prior written consent, except such disclosures as may be required under applicable law or under any applicable order, rule or regulation.
 
(b)   The Company agrees not to disclose the names, addresses or any other information about the Subscribers, except as required by law; provided, that the Company may use the name of the Subscriber for any offering or in any registration statement filed pursuant to Article V in which the Subscriber’s shares are included.
 
4

 
1.19   The Subscriber agrees to hold the Company and its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, controlling persons and agents and their respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns harmless and to indemnify them against all liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by them as a result of (a) any sale or distribution of the Securities by the Subscriber in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws; or (b) any false representation or warranty or any breach or failure by the Subscriber to comply with any covenant made by the Subscriber in this Agreement (including the Confidential Investor Questionnaire contained in Article VII herein) or any other document furnished by the Subscriber to any of the foregoing in connection with this transaction.

(a)   Use best efforts to (i) cause such registration statement to become effective, and (ii) cause such registration statement to remain effective until the earliest to occur of (A) such date as the sellers of Registrable Securities (the “Selling Holders”) have completed the distribution described in the registration statement and (B) such time that all of such Registrable Securities are no longer, by reason of Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, required to be registered for the sale thereof by such Holders. The Company will also use its best efforts to, during the period that such registration statement is required to be maintained hereunder, file such post-effective amendments and supplements thereto as may be required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder or otherwise to ensure that the registration statement does not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; provided, however, that if applicable rules under the Securities Act governing the obligation to file a post-effective amendment permits, in lieu of filing a post-effective amendment that (i) includes any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or (ii) reflects facts or events representing a material or fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement, the Company may incorporate by reference information required to be included in (i) and (ii) above to the extent such information is contained in periodic reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act in the registration statement.
 
9

(e)   Use best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other federal or state securities laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Selling Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act.
 
(f)   In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Selling Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.
 
(g)   Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, (i) when the registration statement or any post-effective amendment and supplement thereto has become effective; (ii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order or the initiation of proceedings for that purpose (in which event the Company shall make every effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending effectiveness of the registration statement at the earliest possible time or prevent the entry thereof); (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; and (iv) of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.
 
(h)   Cause all such Registrable Securities registered hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange or quotation service on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or quoted or, if no such similar securities are listed or quoted on a securities exchange or quotation service, apply for qualification and use best efforts to qualify such Registrable Securities for inclusion on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange or listing on a quotation system of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
 
10

 
(i)   Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration.
 
(j)   Cooperate with the Selling Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Registrable Securities to be sold, which certificates will not bear any restrictive legends; and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriters, if any, shall request at least two business days prior to any sale of the Registrable Securities to the underwriters.
 
(k)   In connection with an underwritten offering, cause the officers of the Company to provide reasonable assistance in the preparation of, any “road show” presentation to potential investors as the managing underwriter may determine.
 
(l)   Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make generally available to its security holders earning statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act) no later than 50 calendar days after the end of any 3-month period (or 105 calendar days after the end of any 12-month period if such period is a fiscal year) (i) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Registrable Securities are sold to underwriters in a firm commitment or best efforts underwritten offering, and (ii) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering, commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of the Company, after the effective date of a registration statement, which statements shall cover said period.
 
(m)   If the offering is underwritten and at the request of any Selling Holder, use its best efforts to furnish on the date that Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration: (i) opinions dated such date of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters and the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities so delivered, respectively, to the effect that such registration statement has become effective under the Securities Act and such Registrable Securities are freely tradable, and covering such other matters as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel delivered to underwriters and transfer agents in underwritten public offerings and (ii) a letter dated such date from the independent public accountants who have certified the financial statements of the Company included in the registration statement or the prospectus, covering such matters as are customarily covered in accountants’ letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings.
 
5.4   Furnish Information . It shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Article V with respect to the Registrable Securities of any Selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder, the Registrable Securities held by the Holder, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably required by the Company to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.
 
11

 
5.5   Registration Expenses . The Company shall bear and pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or qualification of Registrable Securities with respect to registration pursuant to Section 5.2 for each Holder, but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions relating to Registrable Securities and excluding any professional fees or costs of accounting, financial or legal advisors to any of the Holders.
 
5.6   Underwriting Requirements . In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required under Section 5.2 to include any of the Holders’ Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters), and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling stockholders according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each selling stockholder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling stockholders). For purposes of the preceding parenthetical concerning apportionment, for any selling stockholder who is a holder of Registrable Securities and is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and stockholders of such holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “selling stockholder,” and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such “selling stockholder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “selling stockholder,” as defined in this sentence.
 
5.7   Delay of Registration . No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Article.
 
5.8   Indemnification . In the event that any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Article V:
 
(a)   To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”): (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, and the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter or controlling person, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Holder, underwriter or controlling person.
 
12

 
(b)   To the extent permitted by law, each Selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.8(b), in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided , however , that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided , further, that, in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 5.8(b) exceed the greater of the cash value of the (i) gross proceeds from the Offering received by such Holder or (ii) such Holder’s investment pursuant to this Agreement as set forth on the signature page attached hereto.
 
(c)   Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 5.8, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party and approved by the indemnified party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 5.8, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 5.8.
 
13

 
(d)   If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.8 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
 
(e)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with an underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in such underwriting agreement shall control.
 
(f)   The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 5.8 shall survive the completion of the Offering.
 
5.9   Reports Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934 . With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:
 
(a)   make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement;
 
(b)   file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and
 
(c)   furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (ii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.
 
5.10   Permitted Transferees . The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities granted to the Holders by the Company under this Article V may be assigned in full by a Holder in connection with a transfer by such Holder of its Registrable Securities if: (a) such Holder gives prior written notice to the Company; (b) such transferee agrees to comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; (c) such transfer is otherwise in compliance with this Agreement; and (d) such transfer is otherwise effected in accordance with applicable securities laws. Except as specifically permitted by this Section 5.10, the rights of a Holder with respect to Registrable Securities as set out herein shall not be transferable to any other Person, and any attempted transfer shall cause all rights of such Holder therein to be forfeited.
