Dear
Warren: 

This
letter will serve to amend our fetter agreement of October 15, 2003 between you and the Company for service you have provided with respect to certain of our gas related costs and tariffs.
This letter will also outline additional compensation to you as you begin service as the Company's Chairman of the Board, effective May 6, 2005. Beginning in May 2005, you will be
compensated as follows: 

	1.
	$5,000
per month while you serve as Chairman of the Board. This will replace the hourly compensation as agreed to in the October 15, 2003 letter. 
	2.
	Reimbursement
of all of your reasonable out of pocket expenses while working on Company business. 
	3.
	The
success fee as outlined in the October 15, 2003 letter will remain in effect. 
	4.
	You
will be granted stock options as determined by the Compensation Committee and agreed to by the Board of Directors. 
	5.
	The
Company will provide office space and clerical assistance as needed at the Company's Seal Beach Office. 

Warren,
we continue to be appreciative of your dedication and commitment to Clean Energy. We believe your business experience and acumen will serve all shareholders well. 

Sincerely, 

/s/

[LETTERHEAD]    
    

October
15, 2003 

Mr. Warren
I. Mitchell

16921 Bolero Lane

Huntington Beach, CA 92649 

Dear
Warren: 

Clean
Energy is very excited and pleased that you have agreed to help us with certain efforts to lower our commodity costs related to our natural gas fuel sales. We believe your prior work experience
and negotiating skills will allow you to be very successful in these endeavors. This letter will detail our compensation arrangements for you as they relate to your services. 

For
each specific rate-reduction project (the "Project") that we assign to you, CE will pay you: 

	1.
	All
of your reasonable out-of-pocket expenditures related to the Project.

	2.
	$100
per hour as directed and approved by Andrew J. Littlefair.

	3.
	A
success fee equal to 20% of the cost savings you generate through your efforts ("Success Fee") for a two-year period after the cost savings go into affect. The Success
Fee shall be calculated to 20% of the difference between the old rate CE was paying prior to your efforts and the new rate CE pays after your efforts, multiplied by the actual volumes CE generates
that are affected by the rate change. The savings will be paid quarterly (on a calendar-quarter basis within 30 days of the end of the quarter) over the 2-year period that the
Success Fee is in place. 

It
is intended that the above arrangement would only apply if the rate reduction accrues to the benefit of CE and is not directly passed through to the customer. 

We
look forward to working with you in the future on these endeavors. Please indicate the acceptance of these terms by signing below and returning your signed documents to me in Seal Beach. 

Sincerely, 

/s/
Andrew J. Littlefair

THANK YOU FOR YOUR BUSINESS 

TERMS
AND CONDITIONS 

1.  As
used in this Order the terms (a) "Seller" shall mean the authorized Dealer to whom this Order is addressed and who shall become a party hereto by its acceptance of the face
hereof (b) "Purchaser" shall mean the party executing this Order as such on the face hereof, and (c) "Manufacturer" shall mean the Corporation that manufactured the vehicle or chassis,
it being understood by Purchaser and Seller that Seller is not the agent of Manufacturer for any purpose that Seller and Purchaser are the acle parties to the Order and that reference to Manufacturer
herein is only for the purpose of disclosing certain information regarding the relationship between the Seller and the Manufacturer and certain information regarding the rights, duties and liabilities
of the Seller and the Manufacturer. 

2.  Manufacturer
has reserved the right to change the price and/or design of any new motor vehicle, chassis, or accessory thereto at any time without notice. If Seller is unable to procure
the vehicle ordered by Purchaser from Manufacturer on the price existing at date of this ordered by Purchaser from Manufacturer by reason of such change in price or design or for any other reason,
that as factory unavailability, Seller or Purchaser shall have the option to cancel this order. In such event, the purchaser shall not be entitled to recover from Seller any damages of any kind,
nature, or descriptions including, but not limited consequential or incidental damages, damages for loss of use, time, profits, or income or damages of any other kind. 

3.  If
the used motor vehicle which has been traded in as a part of the consideration for the motor vehicle ordered hereunder is not to be delivered to Seller until Seller delivers the
vehicle ordered by Purchaser to Purchaser, the used motor vehicle shall be reappraised at the time of delivery and the reappraised value shall determine the allowance to be made for the used motor
vehicle. If such reappraised value is lower than the original allowance shown on the front of this Order, Purchase may if dissatisfied, cancel this Order, provided, however, that Purchaser exercises
that right prior to the delivery to Purchaser of the motor vehicle ordered hereunder and surrender of the used motor vehicle to Seller. 

4.  Purchaser
shall deliver to Seller the certificate of title to any used motor vehicle traded in as part of the consideration for the motor vehicle ordered hereunder at the time of
delivery of such used motor vehicle to Seller. Purchaser warrants that all used motor vehicle traded into Seller are his property free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except as otherwise noted
herein. 

5.  Purchaser
represents that the certificate of title to the trade-in vehicle is (1) not a "salvage title certificate" issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles for
the State of Arizona or the State of California, or (2) a certificate of title issued by any other authority indicating that the trade-in vehicle has been reconstructed or repaired
by reason of collision or other damage. If the certificate of title reflects either of the above conditions, the vehicle shall then be reappraised and Purchaser agrees to pay the difference in value,
if any, to Seller on demand, or Seller may cancel the entire transaction without liability of any kind to Buyer. 

6.  The
price of the motor vehicle specified on the front of this Order includes reimbursement for Federal Excise taxes, but does not include any Federal, State or local sales or use taxes
unless expressly so stated. Purchaser assumes and
agrees to pay any such sales or use taxes imposed on or applicable to the transaction covered by this Order regardless of which party may have the primary tax liability therefor. 

7.  MANUFACTURER'S
WARRANTY: ANY WARRANTY ON ANY VEHICLE STILL SUBJECT TO A MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY IS THAT MADE BY THE MANUFACTURER ONLY. THE SELLER HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES,
EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. ANY STATEMENT CONTAINED HEREIN DOES NOT APPLY WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW. 

8.  USED
VEHICLES WHETHER OR NOT SUBJECT TO MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY: UNLESS A SEPARATE WRITTEN INSTRUMENT SHOWING THE TERMS OF THE DEALER WARRANTY OR SERVICE CONTRACT IS FURNISHED BY
DEALER TO BUYER, THIS VEHICLE IS SOLD "AS-IS-WHERE IS" AND THE SELLER HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. ANY STATEMENT CONTAINED HEREIN DOES NOT APPLY WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW. 

THE
INFORMATION YOU SEE ON THE WINDOW FORM FOR THIS VEHICLE IS PART OF THIS AGREEMENT, INFORMATION ON THE WINDOW FORM OVERRIDES ANY CONTRACT PROVISIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT OR THE CONTRACT OF SALE. 

9.  PURCHASER
SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER FROM SELLER ANY CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES TO PROPERTY, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF TIME, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR INCOME, OR ANY OTHER INCIDENTAL
DAMAGES. 

10.  The
Purchaser, before or at the time of delivery of the motor vehicle covered by this Purchase Order will execute such other forms and documents and do all other things as may be
required by the terms and conditions of payment indicated on the front of this Order.
