A.

Bonus.  Whereas CCTI has represented that as of the date of this Agreement, the total number of issued, on a fully diluted basis, shares in CCTI is Four Hundred Nine Million, Ninety Thousand, Nine Hundred Eighty (409,090,980):

In consideration of consultant’s services provided to CCTI in accordance 

with the foregoing agreement, consultant shall be entitled to an         irrevocable stock bonus program based on the total number of Four       Hundred Nine Million, Ninety Thousand, Nine Hundred Eighty         (409,090,980) CCTI issued, on a fully diluted basis, shares as of March       25, 2007, as follows:

McGC shall be entitled to an irrevocable right to exercise, at any time, a bonus award of restricted company stock equivalent to four percent (4%) of the total issued, on a fully diluted basis, shares of CCTI, to vest in three installments as follows:

i.

thirty three percent (33%) exercisable immediately any time after execution of this Agreement;

ii.

thirty three percent (33%) exercisable any time after August 15, 2008; and

iii.

the balance exercisable any time after December 31, 2008. 

CCTI and McGC acknowledge that the stock subject to the above-mentioned bonus is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture based on testing of the technology of CCTI that could render the stock worthless.

B.

Standard Adjustments.  In case of any change in the amount of CCTI company stock issued and/or outstanding which causes the amount of CCTI stock to increase, including without limitation, through merger, consolidation, reclassification, reorganization, payment of a stock dividend or the making of any other distribution of shares payable in CCTI stock, through a stock split or subdivision of shares, consolidation or combination of shares, reclassification or recapitalization of CCTI stock, then, as a condition of such change, lawful and adequate provision will be made so that McGC automatically will be issued by CCTI such additional shares to maintain its stock bonus award of four percent (4%) of CCTI’s total issued, on a fully diluted basis, shares after any of the foregoing events.

C.

Effect of Merger or Consolidation.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Schedule A or the foregoing consulting agreement to which it is attached, one hundred percent (100%) of the bonus rights shall become immediately exercisable upon a change in control of CCTI, whether by merger, acquisition or otherwise, regardless of how many days have elapsed from the signing of this agreement by CCTI.

D.

Pro Ration Upon Termination.

In the event that the foregoing consulting agreement is terminated for any reason whatsoever prior to the vesting of the bonus for a period as set forth herein above, then any such bonus rights not yet vested shall be terminated after the effective date of the termination as set forth in Paragraph 3(B) of the foregoing consulting agreement; provided, however, that any unvested interests shall be pro rated monthly through the effective date of termination, with the full amount for a pro rated month vesting on the 1st calendar day of that month.

No fee payable to any other financial  legal, or other advisor either by the Company or any other entity shall reduce or otherwise affect the fees payable hereunder to Advisor, except as otherwise agreed to in writing by Advisor.

Information Furnished by the Company:

The Company will furnish Advisor with all financial and other information and data as Advisor believes appropriate in connection with its activities on the Company’s behalf, and shall provide Advisor full access to its officers, directors, employees and professional advisors. The Company agrees that it and its counsel will be solely responsible for ensuring that the Transaction complies in all respects with applicable law.  The Company represents and warrants that any written or oral communication with Advisor at all times through Closing, will not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

The Company will also cause to be furnished to Advisor at the Closing copies of such agreements, opinions, certificates and other documents delivered at the Closing as Advisor may reasonably request.

Waiver of Conflicts:

The Company acknowledges that Advisor and its affiliates have and will continue to have investment banking and other relationships with parties other than the Company pursuant to which Advisor may acquire information of interest to the Company.  Advisor shall have no obligation to disclose such information to the Company, or to use such information in connection with any contemplated transaction.

h)

Notwithstanding the above, in the event Advisor receives compensation from a third party in connection with the consummation of a Transaction with the Company during the Term, such compensation shall be credited against any fees due to Advisor from Company per paragraphs (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) of the Fees and Expenses section of this Agreement.

i)

Any securities payable to the Advisor under this Agreement shall entitle the Advisor to full, unconditional piggyback registration rights without any holdback obligations.

j)

The Company agrees to advance to the Advisor $5,000 to reimburse any out of pocket expenses incurred by the Advisor during the Term of the Agreement, whether or not a Transaction is consummated, including, but not limited to legal, consulting, travel, lodging and due diligence expenses.

Clean Coal Technologies, Inc. – Cappello Capital Corp. 

Engagement Agreement – January 8, 2009 – Page 6

the unpaid balance or fair market value of such securities, as applicable.

l)

Upon notice from Advisor, the Company agrees to cause to be paid such portion of Advisor’s fees to such individuals and entities as may be directed by Advisor, and any such fees actually paid to third parties as directed by Advisor shall reduce dollar for dollar the amount of fees owed to Advisor hereunder.  This arrangement shall be effected in lieu of each such third party entering into a separate fee agreement with the Company.

m)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereunder, but without modifying or affecting in any way any other provision of this Agreement, if the Company consummates a Transaction with a Protected Party within ninety (90) days of the date hereof (the “Protected Period”), then Advisor shall be entitled to receive only fifty percent (50%) of the Company per paragraphs (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) of the Fees and Expenses section of this Agreement.  If such financing is not consummated within the Protected Period, all of said Protected Parties shall thereafter be considered Covered Parties and Advisor shall be entitled to the fees provided for per paragraphs (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), or (g) of the Fees and Expenses section of this Agreement, as applicable, if a Transaction is consummated with such Protected Party as provided herein.

Termination of Agreement:

Except as otherwise provided for herein, this Agreement may be cancelled by either party upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other party after first four months of the Term.  Termination shall be deemed effective on the earlier of thirty (30) days following that date of such written notice or as mutually agreed upon by Company and Advisor (“Termination”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Company closes a Transaction with a Covered Party during the Term of this Agreement, the Term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended for a one (1)-year period from the date of Closing of each such Transaction, and this Agreement can thereafter be terminated only by Advisor during such one (1)-year period.

Break-up Fee:

If, during the Term of this Agreement, the Company decides not to proceed with a Transaction with Advisor and/or a Covered Party and instead, during the twelve (12) month period following the Termination of this Agreement, consummates a Transaction, financing, merger or other transaction on substantially similar terms or that results in substantially similar economic and dilutive effects to those proposed by a Covered Party, but with an investor or entity that is not a Covered Party, the Company will immediately forward to Advisor a payment equal to 50% of the aggregate cash and non-cash fees provided for in the Fees and Expenses and Additional Investment Option sections of this Agreement.  A Transaction shall be deemed consummated before such date if any agreement in principle which includes all material terms of such Transaction is reached prior to such date even if the closing occurs later. 

Strategic Advisor Warrants:

Upon execution of this Agreement, the Company will issue to Advisor or its designees, as partial compensation for the services rendered hereunder, warrants with an exercise price of $0.05 per share  to purchase up to five percent (5%) of the Company on a fully-diluted basis as of the date of this Agreement, taking into account all outstanding options, rights, and warrants,.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any warrants issued in anticipation of the exercise of currently outstanding options, rights or warrants, may be cancelled by the Company in the event said options, rights, or warrants, are not exercised or exchanged prior to their respective maturities.  The warrants will vest over the following schedule:  2.0% upon execution of the Engagement Agreement and 3.0% upon the closing of a Transaction (1% for every $2.5 million value generated from a Transaction).  If either the Company 

Clean Coal Technologies, Inc. – Cappello Capital Corp. 

Engagement Agreement – January 8, 2009 – Page 7

or Advisor elects to terminate this Agreement, the Company may cancel any portion of the warrants that have not vested as of the Termination.  

Upon the Closing of any Transaction during the Term with a Covered Party that involves a Private Placement, in lieu of an over-allotment option, the Advisor or its designees shall have the right to purchase from the Company for $100.00 an option to purchase ten percent (10%) of the securities that are placed in the Transaction or a warrant to acquire ten percent (10%) of the shares into which any securities sold in such Transaction are convertible, at a price equal to the price paid by the investor(s) at Closing (“Additional Investment Option”).  Additional Investment Options or warrants are fully vested upon the date of issuance.  Provided below is an example of an exercise of an Additional Investment Option:

Placement Amount:

$10,000,000

Additional Investment Option:

    1,000,100

Total Funds Raised:

$11,000,100

All the warrants and options granted pursuant to this Agreement will have a ten year life and may be exercised incrementally over time.  No fees will be payable to the Advisor in connection with the exercise of these warrants and options.  The issuance of these warrants and options is a material inducement to Cappello Capital Corp. to enter into this Agreement.  These warrants and options shall be deemed earned at the time of issuance.  A cashless exercise may be used for all option or warrant transactions.  The common stock underlying these options or warrants will be subject to full, unconditional piggyback registration rights without any holdback obligations.  

Future Investments:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any Covered Party (or their collective affiliates) consummates a Transaction with the Company where Advisor is not the placement agent or financial advisor, at any time within two (2) years of the Termination or expiration of the Term, as extended, if extended, the Company agrees to promptly pay the Advisor according to the Fees and Expenses section of this Agreement and the Additional Investment Option section of this Agreement.  A Transaction shall be deemed consummated before such date if any agreement in principle which includes material terms of such Transaction is reached prior to such date even if the closing occurs later.
