on the transactions contemplated hereby or by the agreements or instruments to be entered into
in connection herewith. “Subsidiaries” means any corporation or other organization, whether

or other ownership interest.

duly authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors and no further consent or authorization of
the Company, its Board of Directors, or its shareholders is required, (iii) this Agreement has
been duly executed and delivered by the Company by its authorized representative, and such
authorized representative is the true and official representative with authority to sign this
Agreement and the other documents executed in connection herewith and bind the Company
accordingly, and (iv) this Agreement constitutes, and upon execution and delivery by the

c)
Capitalization. As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the
Company, and number of shares issued and outstanding, is as set forth in the Company’s most
recent periodic report filed with the SEC. Except as disclosed on Schedule 3(c) hereof, no
shares are reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans. Except as
disclosed in the SEC Documents no shares are reserved for issuance pursuant to securities
exercisable for, or convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock. All of such
outstanding shares of capital stock are, or upon issuance will be, duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable. No shares of capital stock of the Company are subject to
preemptive rights or any other similar rights of the shareholders of the Company or any liens or
encumbrances imposed through the actions or failure to act of the Company. As of the effective
date of this Agreement, and except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, (i) there are no
outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe for, puts, calls, rights of first refusal,
agreements, understandings, claims or other commitments or rights of any character whatsoever
relating to, or securities, notes or rights convertible into or exchangeable for any shares of

which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is obligated to register the sale of any of its or
their securities under the 1933 Act and (iii) there are no anti-dilution or price adjustment
provisions contained in any security issued by the Company (or in any agreement providing
rights to security holders) that will be triggered by the issuance of any of the Securities. The
Company has furnished to the Purchaser true and correct copies of the Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation as in effect on the date hereof (“Certificate of Incorporation”), the Company’s
By-laws, as in effect on the date hereof (the “By-laws”), and the terms of all securities

their respective terms, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all
taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject
to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Company and will not impose
personal liability upon the holder thereof.
e)
Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company’s executive officers and
directors understand the nature of the Securities being sold hereby and recognize that the
issuance of the Securities will have a potential dilutive effect on the equity holdings of other
holders of the Company’s equity or rights to receive equity of the Company. The board of
directors of the Company has concluded, in its good faith business judgment that the issuance of
the Securities is in the best interests of the Company. The Company specifically acknowledges
that its obligation to issue the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Notes is binding upon

Title to Property. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and
marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable title to all personal
property owned by them which is material to the business of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as
are described in Schedule 3(t) or such as would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Any real
property and facilities held under lease by the Company and its Subsidiaries are held by them
10
SPA – XXXX, X0, 0000-00-00
under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as would not have a
Material Adverse Effect.

Insurance. The Company and its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of
recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such coverage amounts
as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company is engaged, including,
but not limited to, directors and officers insurance coverage with coverage amounts that are at
least equal to the aggregate Purchase Price. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any
reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when
such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary
to continue its business without a significant increase in cost.
v)
Internal Accounting Controls. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents,
the Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls
sufficient, in the judgment of the Company’s board of directors, to provide reasonable
assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or
specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to
maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with
management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets
is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken
with respect to any differences.
w)
Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, nor any of its
Subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other person acting on behalf of the
Company or any Subsidiary has, in the course of his actions for, or on behalf of, the
Company, used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other
unlawful expenses relating to political activity; made any direct or indirect unlawful payment
to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds; violated or
is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as
amended, or made any bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful
payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee.
x)
Solvency. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, the Company (after
giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) is solvent (i.e., its assets
have a fair market value in excess of the amount required to pay its probable liabilities on its
existing debts as they become absolute and matured) and currently the Company has no
information that would lead it to reasonably conclude that the Company would not, after
giving effect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, have the ability to, nor does
it intend to take any action that would impair its ability to, pay its debts from time to time
incurred in connection therewith as such debts mature.
y)
No Investment Company. The Company is not, and upon the issuance and
sale of the Securities as contemplated by this Agreement will not be, an “investment
company” required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (an

purpose of any stockholder approval provision applicable to the Company or its securities.

conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company covenants and
agrees that neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf will provide the Purchaser or its
agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-

regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and
confirms that the Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in
securities of the Company.
j)

not transfer any assets or rights to any of its subsidiaries or permit any of its subsidiaries to
engage in any significant business or operations, whether such subsidiaries are currently existing
or hereafter created.
k)
Insurance. So long as the Note remains outstanding, the Company and its

Future Financings: From the date hereof until such time as the Purchaser

Common Stock or securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable for Common
Stock (“Common Stock Equivalents”) or amends the transaction documents relating to any sale
or issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, if the Purchaser reasonably
believes that the terms and conditions thereunder are more favorable to such investors as the
terms and conditions granted under the Transaction Documents, upon notice to the Company by
such Purchaser, the Transaction Documents shall be deemed automatically amended so as to give
the Purchasers the benefit of such more favorable terms or conditions. Promptly following a
request to the Company the Company shall provide Purchaser with all executed transaction
documents relating to any such sale or issue of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents.
Company shall deliver acknowledgment of such automatic amendment to the Transaction
Documents to Purchaser in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser ( the
“Acknowledgment”) within three (3) business days of Company’s receipt of request from
Purchaser (the “Deadline”), provided that Company’s failure to timely provide the
Acknowledgement shall not affect the automatic amendments contemplated hereby. If the
Acknowledgement is not delivered by the Deadline, Company shall pay to the Purchaser
$1000.00 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Company fails to deliver
such Acknowledgement.
5. Transfer Agent Instructions. Upon receipt of a duly executed Notice of

certificates, registered in the name of the Purchaser or its nominee, for the Conversion Shares
in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Purchaser to the Company upon
conversion of the Note, or any part thereof, in accordance with the terms thereof (the
“Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”). In the event that the Company proposes to replace
its transfer agent, the Company shall provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, a
fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions in a form as initially delivered pursuant
to this Agreement and the Securities (including but not limited to the provision to irrevocably
reserve shares of Common Stock in the Reserved Amount (as defined in the Note)) signed by
the successor transfer agent to Company and the Company. Prior to registration of the
Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion Shares may be
sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a
particular date that can then be immediately sold, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive
legend specified in Section 2(g) of this Agreement. The Company warrants that: (i) no
14
SPA – XXXX, X0, 0000-00-00
instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5,
and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(f) hereof (in the case of the
Conversion Shares, prior to registration of the Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act or the
date on which the Conversion Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction
as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold), will
be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely
transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this
Agreement and the Note; (ii) it will not direct its transfer agent not to transfer or delay, impair,
and/or hinder its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing)(electronically or in certificated
form) any certificate for Conversion Shares to be issued to the Purchaser upon conversion of
or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note and this Agreement; and
(iii) it will not fail to remove (or direct its transfer agent not to remove or impair, delay, and/or
hinder its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop
transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for any Conversion Shares issued to
the Purchaser upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by
the Note and this Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the Purchaser’s
obligations and agreement set forth in Section 2(g) hereof to comply with all applicable
prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon re-sale of the Securities. If the Purchaser
provides the Company with (i) an opinion of counsel in form, substance and scope customary
for opinions in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such
Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act and such sale or transfer is
effected or (ii) the Purchaser provides reasonable assurances that the Securities can be sold
pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the
Conversion Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free
from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by the
Purchaser. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will
cause irreparable harm to the Purchaser, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions
contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a
breach of its obligations under this Section 5 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a
breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the
Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction
restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing
economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
6. Injunction Posting of Bond. In the event the Purchaser shall elect to convert the
Note or any parts thereof, the Company may not refuse conversion or exercise based on any
claim that Purchaser or anyone associated or affiliated with Purchaser has been engaged in
any violation of law, or for any other reason. In connection with any injunction sought or
attempted by the Company, the Company shall be required to post a bond at least equal to the
greater of either: (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Note; and (ii) the market value of
the Conversion Shares sought to be converted, exercised or issued, based on the sale price per
share of Common Stock on the principal market on which it is traded.
7. Delivery of Unlegended Shares.
a)
Within three (3) business days (such third business day being the
“Unlegended Shares Delivery Date”) after the business day on which the Company has
15
SPA – CETY, T1, 2016-06-06
received (i) a notice that Conversion Shares, or any other Common Stock held by the
Purchaser has been sold pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144 under the 1933 Act,
(ii) a representation that the prospectus delivery requirements, or the requirements of Rule
144, as applicable and if required, have been satisfied, (iii) the original share certificates
representing the shares of Common Stock that have been sold, and (iv) in the case of sales
under Rule 144, customary representation letters of the Purchaser and, if required, Purchaser’s
broker regarding compliance with the requirements of Rule 144, the Company at its expense,
(y) shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver to its
transfer agent (with copies to Purchaser) an appropriate instruction and opinion of such
counsel, directing the delivery of shares of Common Stock without any legends including the
legend set forth in Section 4(h) above (the “Unlegended Shares”); and (z) cause the
transmission of the certificates representing the Unlegended Shares together with a legended
certificate representing the balance of the submitted Common Stock certificate, if any, to the
Purchaser at the address specified in the notice of sale, via express courier, by electronic
transfer or otherwise on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.
b)
The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Unlegended
Shares later than the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the
Purchaser. As compensation to Purchaser for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late
payment fees (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Purchaser for late delivery of
Unlegended Shares in the amount of $1,000.00 per business day after the Unlegended Shares
Delivery Date. If during any three hundred and sixty (360) day period, the Company fails to
deliver Unlegended Shares as required by this Section for an aggregate of thirty (30) days,
then Purchaser or assignee holding Securities subject to such default may, at its option,
require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the shares subject to such default at a
price per share equal to the greater of (i) 200% of the most recent closing price of the
Common Stock or (ii) a fraction in which the numerator is the highest closing price of the
Common Stock during the aforedescribed thirty (30) day period and the denominator of which
is the lowest conversion price during such thirty (30) day period, multiplied by the conversion
price or exercise price, as the case may be (“Unlegended Redemption Amount”). The
Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds
upon demand.
8. Conditions to the Company’s Obligation to Sell. The obligation of the Company
hereunder to issue and sell the Note to the Purchaser at the Closing is subject to the

through its counsel or other representatives, submits to the Transfer Agent any such shares for
the removal of the restrictive legends thereon in connection with a sale of such shares
pursuant to any exemption to the registration requirements under the Securities Act, and the

exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed
by law and applicable to the Note is increased or decreased by statute or any official
governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest
allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Note from the effective date
forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances
whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to the Purchaser
with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Note, such excess shall be applied by the
