WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and pursuant to under Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Company desires to issue and sell to Subscriber, and Subscriber desires to purchase from the Company, that number of shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 Preferred Stock par value per share (“Preferred Stock”) set forth on the signature page hereto, to persons who are “accredited investors” (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act), in a private placement (the “Offering”); and

WHEREAS, Subscriber understands that the Offering is being made without registration of the Preferred Stock under the Securities Act, or any securities law of any state of the United States or of any other jurisdiction, and is being made only to “accredited investors”.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

Subscription for Shares.

(a) Subscription for Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Subscriber hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company such amounts of Preferred Stock as is set forth on the signature page hereof (the “Shares”) at a price per Share and for an aggregate purchase price as set forth on the signature page hereof (the “Purchase Price”), and the Company agrees to sell such Shares to Subscriber for the Purchase Price, subject to the Company’s right, in its sole discretion, to reject this subscription, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the Closing (as defined below). Subscriber acknowledges that Subscriber is not entitled to cancel, terminate or revoke this Subscription Agreement. Subscriber further acknowledges that the Shares will be subject to restrictions on transfer as set forth in this Subscription Agreement.

2. Terms of Subscription.

(a) Payment. Subscriber shall make payment for the Shares to an account designated by the Company in an amount equal to the Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds at or prior to the Closing.

(b) Acceptance of Subscription and Issuance of Shares. It is understood and agreed that the Company shall have the sole right, at its complete discretion, to accept or reject this subscription, in whole or in part, for any reason and that the same shall be deemed to be accepted by the Company only when it is signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company and delivered to the undersigned at the Closing (as defined below). Notwithstanding anything in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to issue any of the Shares to any person who is a resident of a jurisdiction in which the issuance of Shares to such person would constitute a violation of the securities, “blue sky” or other similar laws.

(c) Closing. The Offering may be consummated at such place (or by electronic transmission) as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties at a closing (the “Closing”) to occur on a date as may be determined by the Company, at a time as may be determined by the Company. Subsequent closings may occur at the discretion of the Company.

- 1 -

(d) Closing Deliverables. At the Closing: Subscriber shall deliver the Purchase Price and the Company shall deliver a share certificate representing the Shares to Subscriber that bears an appropriate legend referring to the fact that the Shares are subject to transfer restrictions as set forth in the Securities Act.

3. Representations and Warranties of Subscriber.

Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company that:

(a) Reliance on Exemptions. Subscriber understands that the Shares are being offered and sold in reliance upon specific exemptions from registration provided in the Securities Act, and upon exemptions from registration under state securities laws, and acknowledges that the Offering has not been reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state agency because it is intended to be a nonpublic offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and state securities laws. Subscriber understands that the Company is relying upon, and intends that the Company rely upon, the truth and accuracy of, and Subscriber’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Subscriber set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire the Shares.

(b) Investment Purpose. The undersigned is an “accredited investor”, and the Shares and any shares of the common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 (“Common Stock”) issuable upon conversion thereof (“Conversion Shares”, and together with the Shares, the “Securities”) are being purchased for Subscriber’s own account, for investment purposes only and not for distribution or resale to others in contravention of the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Subscriber agrees that it will not sell or otherwise transfer the Securities unless they are registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available under the Securities Act and permitted by the certificate of incorporation of the Company. Subscriber has no contract, undertaking, agreement, or arrangement with any person to sell, distribute, transfer, or pledge to such person or anyone else the Securities which Subscriber hereby subscribes to purchase, or any interest therein, and Subscriber has no present plans to enter into any such contract, undertaking, agreement, or arrangement. Subscriber agrees that the Company and its affiliates shall not be required to give effect to any purported transfer of such Securities except upon compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

(c) Accredited Investor. Subscriber shall complete and deliver to the Company prior to Closing, an executed copy of the Accredited Investor Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit A. Subscriber is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, as amended to date, a summary of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B, and Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of any investment in the Shares and in the Company.

(d) Risk of Investment. Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of the Shares involves a high degree of risk in that: 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; transferability of the Securities is limited; and the Company may require substantial additional funds to operate its business and there can be no assurance that the Offering will be completed.

(e) Use of Proceeds. The Company has made long-term investments into the marine scrubber industry. In November 2016 the International Maritime Organization (IMO) voted to implement a new lower global cap on sulphur emissions from international shipping. Following this, the Company has experienced a strong interest from the marine industry, and in the third quarter 2017 we have seen a strong growth in the sales and delivery of our standardized systems for the treatment of waste water from marine scrubbers. We are working with some of the largest scrubber manufactures in the world, and their forecasts for 2018 give us reason to believe that we will see continued growth from this industry. Subscriber understands that the net proceeds of the Offering will be used to establish the necessary working capital to manage the anticipated growth in orders for our standardized systems for the treatment of waste water from marine scrubbers.

- 2 -

(f) Prior Investment Experience. Subscriber understands the business in which the Company is engaged and has such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters that Subscriber is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares.

Subscriber consents that the Company may, if it desires, permit the transfer of the Securities out of Subscriber’s name only when Subscriber’s request for transfer is accompanied by an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that neither the sale nor the proposed transfer results in a violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state “blue sky” laws.

In connection with the acquisition of the Company’s Shares, Subscriber hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Company as follows:

13.

Subscriber has reviewed the website of the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), and conducted such other investigation as Subscriber deems necessary or prudent, prior to making these representations and warranties. Subscriber acknowledges that U.S. federal regulations and executive orders administered by OFAC prohibit, among other things, engaging in transactions with, and the provision of services to, certain foreign countries, territories, entities and individuals.

14.	All evidence of identity provided in connection with Subscriber’s acquisition of Shares is genuine and all related information furnished is accurate.

15.

Subscriber understands and agrees that the investment of funds is prohibited by or restricted with respect to any persons or entities: (i) acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of terrorists or terrorist organizations, including those persons, entities and organizations that are included on any of the OFAC lists; (ii) residing or having a place of business in a country or territory named on such lists or which is designated as a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction by the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (“FATF”), or whose subscription funds are transferred from or through such a jurisdiction; (iii) (A) that are a “Foreign Shell Bank” within the meaning of the USA PATRIOT Act or (B) that are a foreign bank other than a “Regulated Affiliate” that is barred, pursuant to its banking license, from conducting banking activities with the citizens of, or with the local currency of, the country that issued the license or (C) whose subscription funds are transferred from or through the entities listed in foregoing clauses (A) and (B); or (iv) residing in, or organized under the laws of, a jurisdiction designated by the Secretary of the Treasury under Sections 311 or 312 of the USA PATRIOT Act as warranting special measures due to money laundering concerns. Such persons or entities in (i) through (iv) are collectively referred to as “Restricted Persons.” Neither Subscriber, nor any person or entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, Subscriber, any investors in Subscriber (if Subscriber is a pooled investment vehicle) or any person or entity for whom Subscriber is acting as agent, representative, intermediary, nominee or similar capacity (each such investor in Subscriber and each such person for whom Subscriber acts as agent, representative, intermediary, nominee or in a similar capacity, an “Underlying Beneficial Owner”) in connection with the acquisition of Shares is a Restricted Person.

16.

No funds tendered for the acquisition of Shares are directly or indirectly derived from activities that may contravene U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering laws, rules and regulations, and no capital contribution in relation to Shares acquired by Subscriber or, if applicable, any Underlying Beneficial Owner will be derived from any illegal or illegitimate activities.

17.

To the extent Subscriber has any Underlying Beneficial Owners, Subscriber: (i) has carried out thorough due diligence as to, and established the identities of, the Underlying Beneficial Owners and any related persons to the extent required by applicable law and regulations (“Related Persons”); (ii) holds the evidence of such identities and will maintain all such evidence for at least five years from the date of the completion of the liquidation of the Company; and (iii) will make such information available to the Company upon the Company’s request.

18.

Subscriber acknowledges and understands that the Company, in its sole discretion, may decline to accept any subscription for Shares by a person who is a “Covered Person” within the meaning of the Guidance on Enhanced Scrutiny for Transactions that May Involve the Proceeds of Foreign Official Corruption, issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, et al., January, 2001. Accordingly, Subscriber agrees to inform the Company, prior to its acquisition of Shares, if Subscriber or any person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, Subscriber, or for whom Subscriber is acting as agent or nominee in connection with the acquisition of Shares, is a Covered Person.

Annex A

19.

Subscriber agrees to provide any information (including confidential information about Subscriber and, if applicable, any Underlying Beneficial Owner or Related Person) to any person deemed necessary by the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, to comply with its anti-money laundering responsibilities and policies and any laws, rules and regulations applicable to an investment held or proposed to be held by the Company.

20.

Subscriber authorizes and permits the Company, using its own reasonable business judgment, to report information about Subscriber, or any person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Subscriber, to appropriate authorities, and Subscriber agrees not to hold them liable for any loss or injury that may occur as the result of providing such information.

21.	Subscriber agrees that, in the event of a material change with respect to the information provided in connection with the purchase of the Shares, Subscriber will provide the Company promptly with updated information affected by the material change.

22.

Subscriber agrees that, notwithstanding any statement to the contrary in any agreement into which it has entered that relates to the Company, or any statement to the contrary in any private placement memorandum of the Company, if the Company determines that Subscriber has appeared on a list of known or suspected terrorists or terrorist organizations compiled by any U.S. or non-U.S. governmental agency, or that any information provided by Subscriber in connection with the acquisition of Shares is no longer true or accurate, the Company, without limiting any other rights available under any agreement between the Company and Subscriber, shall be authorized to take any action it deems necessary or appropriate as a result thereof. The Company may be obligated to “freeze the account” of Subscriber, either by prohibiting additional capital contributions, restricting any distributions and/or declining any requests to transfer Subscriber’s Shares. In addition, in any such event, Subscriber may forfeit its Shares, may be forced to withdraw from the Company or may otherwise be subject to the remedies required by law, and Subscriber shall have no claim against the Company nor its officers, directors, employees, agents, control persons, affiliates and professional advisors and such parties shall be held harmless and indemnified by Subscriber in accordance with the indemnification section of this Agreement for any form of damages as a result of any of the actions described in this paragraph. The Company may also be required to report such action and to disclose Subscriber’s identity or provide other information with respect to Subscriber to OFAC or other governmental entities.

23.	Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that any distributions paid to it by the Company will be paid to, and any contributions made by it to the Company will be made from, an account in Subscriber’s name unless the Company, in its sole discretion, agrees otherwise.

24.

Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees that the acceptance of this Agreement, together with the appropriate remittance, will not breach any applicable money laundering or related rules or regulations (including, without limitation, any statutes, rules or regulations in effect under the laws of the U.S.A. pertaining to prohibitions on money laundering or to transacting business or dealing in property that may be blocked or may belong to Specially Designated Nationals, as such term is used by OFAC).
