SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.111
This SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of July 6, 2020, is entered into by and between Clean Energy Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation, (the “Company”), and LGH Investments, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (the “Buyer”).
A. The Company and the Buyer are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by the rules and regulations as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”).
B. Upon the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement, the Buyer desires to purchase and the Company desires to issue and sell, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (i) a Promissory Note of the Company, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Note”), in the original principal amount of $164,800.00 (the “Original Principal Amount”) (together with any note(s) issued in replacement thereof or as a dividend thereon or otherwise with respect thereto in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Note”) convertible into shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”), (ii) a two-year share purchase warrant entitling the Buyer to acquire 1,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Warrant”) and (ii) one million (1,000,000) restricted common shares in the Company (“Inducement Shares”) to be delivered to Buyer, via overnight courier within 7 (seven) calendar days following the Closing Date. On the date at which the Buyer seeks to have the restricted legend removed, in the event the Company’s share price has declined the Company agrees to issue the Buyer additional shares such that the aggregate value of the Inducement Shares equal the aggregate value of the Inducement Shares as of the closing date.
NOW THEREFORE, the Company and the Buyer hereby agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale. On the Closing Date (as defined below), the Company shall issue and sell to the Buyer and the Buyer agrees to purchase from the Company the (i) Note in the original principal amount of $164,800.00, (ii) Warrant, and (ii) one million Inducement Shares. (collectively the “Securities”).
1.1. Form of Payment. On the Closing Date, (i) the Buyer shall pay the purchase price of $160,000 (the “Purchase Price”) at the Closing (as defined below) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a Company account designated by the Company, in accordance with the Company’s written wiring instructions, against delivery of the Securities, and (ii) the Company shall deliver such duly executed Securities on behalf of the Company, to the Buyer, against delivery of such Purchase Price.
1.2. Closing Date. The date and time of the issuance and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (the “Closing Date”) shall be on or about July 6, 2020, or such other mutually agreed upon time. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur on the Closing Date at such location as may be agreed to by the parties.
1.3. Share Reservation. The Company shall at all times require its transfer agent to establish a reserve of shares of its authorized but unissued and unreserved Common Stock in the amount of 25,000,000 shares for purposes of exercise of the Warrant or conversion of the Note. The Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to agree that it will not reduce the reserve under any circumstances unless such reduction is pre-approved in writing by the Buyer.
2. Buyer’s Investment Representations; Governing Law; Miscellaneous.
2.1 Buyer’s Investment Representations.
(a) This Agreement is made in reliance upon the Buyer’s representation to the Company, which by its acceptance hereof Buyer hereby confirms, that the Securities to be received by it will be acquired for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof, and that it has no present intention of selling, granting participation in, or otherwise distributing the same, but subject nevertheless to any requirement of law that the disposition of its property shall at all times be within its control.
(b) The Buyer understands that the Securities are not registered under the 1933 Act, on the basis that the sale provided for in this Agreement and the issuance of securities hereunder is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof, and that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is predicated on the Buyer’s representations set forth herein. The Buyer realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding such representations, the Buyer has in mind merely acquiring shares of the Securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. The Buyer does not have any such intention.
(c) The Buyer understands that the Securities may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of without registration under the 1933 Act or an exemption therefrom, and that in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the Securities or an available exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, the Stock must be held indefinitely. In particular, the Buyer is aware that the Securities may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 701 promulgated under the 1933 Act unless all of the conditions of the applicable Rules are met. Among the conditions for use of Rule 144 is the availability of current information to the public about the Company. The Buyer agrees that, in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the Securities, it will sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the Securities only in a manner consistent with its representations set forth herein and then only in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d) hereof.
(d) The Buyer agrees that in no event will it make a transfer or disposition of any of the Securities (other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act), unless and until (i) the Buyer shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a statement of the circumstances surrounding the disposition, and (ii) if requested by the Company, at the expense of the Buyer or transferee, the Buyer shall have furnished to the Company either (A) an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the 1933 Act or (B) a “no action” letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission to the effect that the transfer of such securities without registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission that action be taken with respect thereto. The Company will not require such a legal opinion or “no action” letter in any transaction in compliance with Rule 144.
(e) The Buyer represents and warrants to the Company that it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 501 of Regulation D, as presently in effect and, for the purpose of Section 25102(f) of the California Corporations Code, he or she is excluded from the count of “purchasers” pursuant to Rule 260.102.13 thereunder.

2.13 Buyer’s Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All rights, remedies, and powers conferred in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents on the Buyer are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies, and shall be in addition to every other right, power, and remedy that the Buyer may have, whether specifically granted in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or existing at law, in equity, or by statute; and any and all such rights and remedies may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as the Buyer may deem expedient.
2.14 Ownership Limitation. If at any time after the Closing, the Buyer shall or would receive shares of Common Stock in payment of interest or principal under Note, upon exercise of the Warrant, so that the Buyer would, together with other shares of Common Stock held by it or its Affiliates, own or beneficially own by virtue of such action or receipt of additional shares of Common Stock a number of shares exceeding 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (the “Maximum Percentage”), the Company shall not be obligated and shall not issue to the Buyer shares of Common Stock which would exceed the Maximum Percentage, but only until such time as the Maximum Percentage would no longer be exceeded by any such receipt of shares of Common Stock by the Buyer. The foregoing limitations are enforceable, unconditional and non-waivable and shall apply to all Affiliates and assigns of the Buyer.

In the event of any action at law or in equity to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, the parties agree that the party who is awarded the most money shall be deemed the prevailing party for all purposes and shall therefore be entitled to an additional award of the full amount of the attorneys’ fees and expenses paid by such prevailing party in connection with the litigation and/or dispute without reduction or apportionment based upon the individual claims or defenses giving rise to the fees and expenses.
