Should any portion of this Subscription Agreement be rendered void, invalid or unenforceable by a court of law for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not void or render invalid or unenforceable any other portion of this Subscription Agreement. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any right, remedy, obligation or liability arising hereunder or by reason hereof shall be assignable by either the Company or the undersigned without the prior written consent of the other party.

20. Dispute Resolution.
(a) The parties will, to the greatest extent possible, endeavor to resolve any disputes relating to this Agreement and this subscription through amicable negotiations. Failing an amicable settlement, any controversy, claim or dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement, including the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, termination or breach of this Agreement, will finally be settled by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator (the “Arbitration Tribunal”) which will be jointly appointed by the parties. The Arbitration Tribunal shall self-administer the arbitration proceedings utilizing the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association; provided, however, the American Arbitration Association shall not be involved in administration of the arbitration. The arbitrator must be a retired judge of a state or federal court of the United States or a licensed lawyer with at least ten years of corporate or commercial law experience and have at least an AV rating by Martindale Hubbell. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, either party may request the American Arbitration Association to appoint an arbitrator which appointment will be final.
(b) The arbitration will be held in Los Angeles, California. Each party will have discovery rights as provided by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure within the limits imposed by the arbitrator; provided, however, that all such discovery will be commenced and concluded within 60 days of the selection of the arbitrator. It is the intent of the parties that any arbitration will be concluded as quickly as reasonably practicable. Once commenced, the hearing on the disputed matters will be held four days a week until concluded, with each hearing date to begin at 9:00 a.m. and to conclude at 5:00 p.m. The arbitrator will use all reasonable efforts to issue the final written report containing award or awards within a period of five business days after closure of the proceedings. Failure of the arbitrator to meet the time limits of this Article will not be a basis for challenging the award. The Arbitration Tribunal will not have the authority to award punitive damages to either party. Each party will bear its own expenses, but the parties will share equally the expenses of the Arbitration Tribunal. The Arbitration Tribunal shall award attorneys’ fees and other related costs payable by the losing party to the successful party as it deems equitable. This Agreement will be enforceable, and any arbitration award will be final and non-appealable, and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
21. Entire Agreement. This Subscription Agreement, including its exhibit, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations and understandings of the parties.
22. Counterparts. This Subscription Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Warrant No.: A-____ | ________ __, 2024 |
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, ____________________________________ or its successors or assigns (collectively, the “Holder”) is entitled to purchase from Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. (the “Corporation”), __________________ ( ) fully paid and nonassessable shares (the “Shares”) of the Corporation’s $0.001 par value common stock (the “Common Stock”), at an exercise price one dollar and sixty cents ($1.60) per Share (the “Exercise Price”), subject to adjustment as herein provided. This Warrant may be exercised by Holder, in whole or in part, at any time during the period beginning with the issuance date above and ending on the date that is One (1) year from the issuance date hereof, at which time all of Holder’s rights hereunder shall expire.
This Warrant is subject to the following provisions, terms and conditions:
1. Exercise of Warrant. The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part (but not as to any fractional shares of Common Stock), by the surrender of this Warrant (properly endorsed, if required, at the Corporation’s principal office, or such other office or agency of the Corporation as the Corporation may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of such Holder appearing on the Corporation’s books at any time within the period above named), and upon payment to it by certified check, bank draft or cash of the purchase price for such Shares. The Corporation agrees that the Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment for such Shares shall have been made as aforesaid. Certificates for the Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time, not exceeding 30 days, after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised and, unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing the number of Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be delivered to the Holder within such time. The Corporation may require that any such new Warrant or any certificate for Shares purchased upon the exercise hereof bear a legend substantially similar to that which is contained on the face of this Warrant.
1 |
2. Transferability of this Warrant. This Warrant is issued upon the following terms, to which Holder consents and agrees:
(a) Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Corporation, the Corporation will treat the Holder of this Warrant, registered as such on the books of the Corporation, as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes without effect given to any notice to the contrary.
(b) This Warrant may not be exercised, and this Warrant and the Shares underlying this Warrant shall not be transferable, except in compliance with all applicable state and federal securities laws, regulations and orders, and with all other applicable laws, regulations and orders.
(c) The Warrant may not be transferred, and the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, may not be transferred without the Holder obtaining an opinion of counsel, which opinion and counsel are satisfactory to the Corporation, stating that the proposed transaction will not result in a prohibited transaction under the Securities Act and applicable Blue Sky Laws. By accepting this Warrant, the Holder agrees to act in accordance with any conditions imposed on such transfer by any such opinion of counsel.
(d) Neither the issuance of this Warrant nor the issuance of the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant have been registered under the Securities Act.
3. Certain Covenants of the Corporation. The Corporation covenants and agrees that all Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, upon issuance and full payment for the Shares so purchased, will be duly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue hereof, except those that may be created by or imposed upon the Holder or its property; and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Corporation covenants and agrees that it will from time to time take all such actions as may be required to ensure that the par value per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the Exercise Price per share issuable pursuant to this Warrant. The Corporation further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Corporation will at all times have authorized and reserved, free of preemptive or other rights, for the purpose of issue upon exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the full exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.
4. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The Exercise Price and number of Shares are subject to the following adjustments:
(a) Stock Dividend, Stock Split or Stock Combination. If (i) any dividends on any class of the Corporation’s capital stock payable in Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock (collectively, “Common Stock Equivalents”) shall be paid by the Corporation, (ii) the Corporation shall divide its then-outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) the Corporation shall combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock, by reclassification or otherwise, then, in any such event, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall (until adjusted again pursuant hereto) be adjusted immediately after such event to a price (calculated to the nearest full cent) equal to the quotient of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event, multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such event, divided by (y) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.
(b) Number of Shares Issuable on Exercise of Warrants. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section, the Holder shall thereafter (until another such adjustment) be entitled to purchase, at the adjusted Exercise Price, the number of Shares, calculated to the nearest full Share, equal to the quotient of (i) the product of (A) the number of Shares issuable under this Warrant (as then adjusted pursuant hereto prior to the current adjustment), multiplied by (B) the Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment, divided by (ii) the adjusted Exercise Price.
2 |
(c) Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price and any increase or decrease in the number of Shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant, then, and in each such case, the Corporation shall within 30 days thereafter give written notice thereof, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to each Holder as shown on the books of the Corporation. Any such notice shall state the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the methods of calculation of such adjustments and the facts upon which such calculations were based.
(d) Effect of Reorganization, Reclassification or Merger. If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding there should be (i) any reorganization of the Corporation’s capital stock (other than splits or combinations of Common Stock contemplated by and provided for in Section 4(a)), (ii) any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with another corporation, limited liability Corporation, partnership or other business entity, or any sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer by the Corporation of all or substantially all of its property to any other corporation, limited liability Corporation, partnership or other business entity, which is effected in such a manner that the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, or (iii) any dividend or any other distribution upon any class of the Corporation’s capital stock payable in capital stock of a different class, other securities of the Corporation, or other Corporation property (other than cash), then, as a part of such transaction, lawful provision shall be made so that Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon the exercise hereof, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation or of the successor entity resulting from a consolidation or merger, or of the entity to which the property of the Corporation has been sold, conveyed, leased or otherwise transferred, as the case may be, which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer, if this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer. In any such case, appropriate adjustments (as determined by the Corporation’s board of directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant to the end that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be applicable, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrant as if the Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer and the Holder had carried out the terms of the exchange as provided for by such capital reorganization, consolidation or merger. The Corporation shall not effect any such capital reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer unless, upon or prior to the consummation thereof, the successor entity or the entity to which the property of the Corporation has been sold, conveyed, leased or otherwise transferred shall assume in writing the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities, cash or property which the Holder shall be entitled to purchase in accordance with the foregoing provisions.
7. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada without regard to its conflicts-of-law provisions.
8. Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Warrant may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waiver or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Corporation agrees in writing and has obtained the written consent of the Holder.

9. Successors and Assigns. All the terms and conditions of this Warrant shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the permitted successors and assigns of the Corporation and Holder.
10. Headings and References. The headings of this Warrant are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Warrant. Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references herein to Sections are references to Sections of this Warrant.
11. Notices. All notices or communications hereunder, except as herein otherwise specifically provided, shall be in writing.
