ABOUT THE MEETING

Who is soliciting your proxy?

Your proxy is being solicited by our board of directors.

Who is entitled to vote at the meeting?

You may vote if you owned stock as of the close of business on December 30, 2011, which is the record date for determining who is eligible to vote at the Special Meeting. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote.

How do I vote?

You can vote either by attending the meeting and voting at the meeting or by completing, signing and returning the enclosed proxy card. If your shares are held by your broker, you may also be able to vote electronically, in accordance with instruction that your broker will provide you.

Can I change my mind after I vote?

Yes, you may change your mind at any time before the polls close at the meeting. You can change your vote by signing another proxy with a later date and returning it to us prior to the meeting or by voting again at the meeting. If your stock is held in a brokerage account, you must provide your broker with instructions as to any changes in the voting instructions which you previously provided to your broker.

What if I sign and return my proxy card but I do not include voting instructions?

If you sign your proxy card and return it to us but you do not include voting instructions as to any proposal, your proxy will be voted FOR the amendment to our certificate of incorporation to effect a one-for-ten reverse split and reduce our authorized capital stock to 50,000,000 shares of common stock and 30,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

1

Will my shares be voted if I do not provide my proxy?

If your shares are held in a brokerage account, they may be voted if you provide your broker with instructions as to how you want your shares voted. Your broker will send you instructions as to how you can vote shares that are held in your brokerage account. If you do not give your broker instructions as to how you want your shares to be voted, then your shares will not be voted either for the proposed amendment to our certificate of incorporation to effect a one-for-ten reverse split and reduce our authorized capital stock 50,000,000 shares of common stock and 30,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

If you hold your shares directly in your own name, they will only be voted if you either sign and deliver a proxy or attend and vote at the meeting.

How many votes must be present to hold the meeting?

In order for us to conduct our meeting, we must have a quorum. We will have a quorum, and be able to conduct the meeting, if a majority of our outstanding shares as of December 30, 2011, are present at the meeting. Your shares will be counted as being present at the meeting if you attend the meeting or if you properly return a proxy by mail or if you give your broker voting instructions and the broker votes your shares.

On the record date, December 30, 2011, we had 20,988,705 shares of common stock outstanding. This number of shares does not include treasury stock. We will have a quorum if 10,494,353 shares of common stock are present and voting at the Special Meeting.

What vote is required for the approval of the proposed amendment to our certificate of incorporation to effect a one-for-ten reverse split and reduce our authorized capital stock 50,000,000 shares of common stock and 30,000,000 shares of preferred stock?

The approval of the proposed amendment to our certificate of incorporation to effect a one-for-ten reverse split and reduce our authorized capital stock 50,000,000 shares of common stock and 30,000,000 shares of preferred stock requires the affirmative vote of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock and the holders of a majority of the shares of series A preferred stock.

How are broker non-votes treated at the meeting?

Broker non-votes are proxies signed by brokers without voting on the election of directors or the approval of the amendment to our certificate of incorporation to effect a one-for-ten reverse split and reduce our authorized capital stock 50,000,000 shares of common stock and 30,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Broker non-votes are treated as present at the meeting for purposes of determining whether we have a quorum. However, since the approval of the proposed an amendment to our certificate of incorporation requires the votes of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock, broker non-votes will be similar to negative votes.

Who is paying the cost of the meeting?

We will pay for preparing, printing and mailing this proxy statement. Proxies may be solicited on our behalf by our directors, officers or employees in person or by telephone, electronic transmission and facsimile transmission. We will reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their out-of-pocket costs of sending the proxy materials to our beneficial owners. We estimate our costs at approximately $10,000.

APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT A ONE-FOR-TEN

REVERSE SPLIT AND REDUCE OUR AUTHORIZED CAPITAL STOCK 50,000,000 SHARES OF

COMMON STOCK AND 30,000,000 SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK

Our Board of Directors approved, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to effect a one-for-ten reverse split and reduce our authorized capital stock 50,000,000 shares of common stock and 30,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As a result of the reverse split, each share of common stock outstanding at the effective time of the reverse split, will, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, become one-tenth of a share of common stock. The common stock, as presently constituted, is referred to as the old common stock, and the common stock resulting from the reverse split is referred to as the new common stock. Our certificate of incorporation presently authorizes the issuance of 150,000,000 shares of common stock and 60,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As a result of the amendment to our certificate of incorporation, our authorized capital stock would become 50,000,000 shares of common stock and 30,000,000 shares of preferred stock. At present, there is one series of preferred stock authorized, the series A convertible preferred stock, of which 10,995,805 shares are issued and outstanding. The number of outstanding shares of series A preferred stock will not be affected by the amendment to our certificate of incorporation. However, each share of series A preferred stock, which is presently convertible into one-third of a share of common stock, will be convertible into one-thirtieth of a share of common stock. Thus, the 10,995,805 shares of series A preferred stock will be convertible into 366,527 shares of common stock. The par value of the common stock and the preferred stock will not be affected by the reverse split or the amendment to the certificate of incorporation.

2

Effective Date

The reverse split and the amended authorized capital stock will become effective upon the filing with the Delaware Secretary of State of an amendment to our certificate of incorporation which states that, upon the filing of the certificate of amendment, each share of common stock then issued and outstanding would automatically become and be converted into one-tenth share of common stock; however, trading in the new common stock may be subject to obtaining approval from the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Purposes of the Reverse Split

On September 8, 2011, we received a staff deficiency notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market informing us that our common stock failed to comply with the $1.00 minimum bid price required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). We failed to meet this test because the closing bid price for our common stock for each trading day in the 30 day period from July 27, 2011 to September 7, 2011 was less than $1.00 per share. Our common stock has continued to trade at prices substantially below $1.00 per share.

Nasdaq’s letter stated that to regain compliance, the closing bid price for our common stock must be at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days within the 180-day compliance period ending on March 6, 2012. In the event that we do not regain compliance within this period, we may be eligible for additional time by filing a listing application to transfer our common stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The reverse split would decrease the number of shares of common stock outstanding and presumably increase the per share market price for the new common stock. Theoretically, the number of shares outstanding should not, by itself, affect the marketability of the stock, the type of investor who acquires it or our reputation in the financial community, but, in practice, this is not necessarily the case, as many investors look upon a stock trading which is in the range of $1.00 per share as speculative in nature and, as a matter of policy, avoid investment in such stocks. Although our board of directors approved the one-for-ten reverse split with the expectation that the reverse split would result in the stock price of our common stock being more than $1.00 per share, we cannot give any assurance that the reverse split would have the desired effect. If our stock price does not meet the requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, our stock would cease to be traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market and could be traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. The OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange and investors may be reluctant to invest in our common stock if we are not listed on The Nasdaq Stock Exchange, which could have a material adverse effect on the price of our common stock.

Moreover, many leading brokerage firms are reluctant to recommend lower-priced securities, especially those not listed on a stock exchange or market, to their clients and a variety of brokerage house policies and practices currently tend to discourage individual brokers within firms from dealing in lower-priced stocks. Some of those policies and practices pertain to the payment of brokers’ commissions and to time-consuming procedures that make the handling of lower priced stocks unattractive to brokers from an economic standpoint. In addition, brokerage commissions also tend to adversely impact upon holders of lower priced stocks because brokerage commissions on a sale of a lower priced stock may represents a higher percentage of the sales price than the commissions on a higher priced stock.

The effect of the reverse split upon the market price for our common stock cannot be accurately predicted. We cannot assure you that the market price for shares of common stock will be proportionately greater after the reverse split than immediately prior to the reverse split, or that the market price will increase, or that any increase will be maintained for any period of time, after the reverse split. We also cannot assure you that the reverse split will not adversely impact the market price of our common stock.

The last reported closing price for our common stock during the period from January 1, 2011 to January 12, 2012, ranged from a low of $0.21 to a high of $4.47. On January 12, 2012, the closing price of the common stock was $0.34 per share.

3

On November 3, 2011, we received a staff deficiency notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market informing us that our common stock failed to comply with the requirement that the common stock maintain a minimum market value of publicly held shares of $5,000,000. The staff deficiency notice said that we failed to meet this requirement because the market value of our publicly held shares was below $5,000,000 for the period from September 22, 2011 to November 2, 2011. Nasdaq computes the market value of publicly held shares by multiplying the number of publicly held shares based on the most recent publicly held shares information, by the closing bid price. Publicly held shares are defined under the Nasdaq rules as shares not held directly or indirectly by an officer, director or any person who is the beneficial owner of more than 10% of the total shares outstanding.

Nasdaq’s letter stated that, to regain compliance, the market value of our publicly held shares must close at $5,000,000 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days within the 180-day compliance period, which is the 180-day period commencing on November 3, 2011, the date on which the Company received the staff deficiency letter. In the event the Company does not regain compliance within this period, it will receive written notice that its common stock is subject to delisting. However, The Company may file a listing application to transfer its common stock to The Nasdaq Capital Market if, at that time, it meets the continued listing requirements of that market. We requested Nasdaq to transfer our common stock to The Nasdaq Capital Market and, on December 27, 2011, we were advised by Nasdaq that, at the opening of business on December 29, 2011, our common stock will be transferred to The Nasdaq Capital Market. We believe that we meet The Nasdaq Capital Market requirements for the continued listing on that market as long as we have a stock price of at least $1.00 per share.

The reverse split will not have any affect upon the market value of our publicly held shares. As of December 29, 2011, the market value of our publicly held shares, based on the closing bid price of our common stock on that date, was approximately $3.7 million.

Principal Effects of the Reverse Split

Based upon the 20,988,705 shares of common stock outstanding on December 30, 2011, the reverse split would decrease the outstanding shares of common stock by approximately 90%, and, once effective, the reverse split would result in approximately 2,098,871 shares of new common stock outstanding. Similarly, the aggregate number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the conversion of preferred stock would decrease from 3,665,268 shares to 366,527 shares. Since we provide for the rounding up of fractional shares to the next higher whole number of shares, the actual number of shares issuable pursuant to the reverse split will be greater than the numbers set forth in this paragraph.

Each outstanding option or warrant will automatically become an option or warrant, as the case may be, to purchase one-tenth of the number of shares subject to the option or warrant immediately prior to the reverse split at an exercise price which is ten times the exercise price of the option or warrant immediately prior to the reverse split. There are presently outstanding warrants to purchase 1,649,991 shares of common stock at $1.698 per share and 551,591 shares of common stock at $1.20 per share. As a result of the reverse split, these warrants will become warrants to purchase 164,992 shares of common stock at $16.98 per share and 55,160 shares at $12.00 per share. The actual number of shares of common stock may be greater because of the rounding for fractional shares.

We will obtain a new CUSIP numbers for the common stock effective at the time of the reverse split. Our Nasdaq stock symbol will stay the same at CLNT, however, to avoid confusion, for a short period, there will be a D at the end of our symbol, which would be CLNTD. Following the effectiveness of the reverse split, we will provide each record holder of common stock with information to enable such holder to obtain new stock certificates.

Subject to the provisions for elimination of fractional shares, as described below, consummation of the reverse split will not result in a change in the relative equity position or voting power of the holders of common stock. Each share on new common stock will entitle the holder to one vote. The reverse split will not affect our reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

In the amendment to our certificate of incorporation which effects the reverse split, we are also reducing the authorized common stock from 150,000,000 to 50,000,000 and the number of authorized preferred stock from 60,000,000 to 30,000,000.

The 20,988,705 shares of old common stock outstanding on December 30, 2011, represented approximately 14% of the 150,000,000 authorized shares, and the approximately 2,098,871 shares of common stock to be outstanding after the reverse split would represent approximately 4% of the 50,000,000 authorized shares of common stock. The decrease in the percentage of authorized shares represented by the outstanding shares may be construed as having an anti-takeover effect by permitting the issuance of shares to purchasers who might oppose a hostile takeover bid or oppose any efforts to amend or repeal certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation or by-laws and could render more difficult, or discourage, an attempt to acquire control of us through a transaction opposed by the board of directors. At this time, other than for the exercise of the outstanding options and warrants and the conversion of outstanding convertible preferred stock and the grant of stock pursuant to our long term incentive plan, the board of directors does not have plans to issue any shares of common stock.

4

Exchange of Certificate and Elimination of Fractional Share Interests

On the effective date of the reverse split, each ten shares of old common stock will automatically be combined and changed into one share of new common stock. No additional action on our part or on the part of any stockholder will be required in order to effect the reverse split. Stockholders will be requested to exchange their certificates representing shares of old common stock held prior to the reverse split for new certificates representing shares of new common stock issued as a result of the reverse split. Stockholders will be furnished the necessary materials and instructions to enable them to effect such exchange promptly after the effective date. Certificates representing shares of old common stock subsequently presented for transfer will not be transferred on our books and records, but we will effect the conversion of the old common stock into shares of new common stock. Stockholders should not submit any certificates until requested to do so. Shares of old common stock held in your brokerage account will be exchanged for shares of new common stock by your broker.

In the event any certificate representing shares of old common stock is not presented for exchange upon our request, any dividends or other distributions that may be declared after the effective date of the reverse split with respect to the new common stock represented by such certificate will be withheld by us until such certificate has been properly presented for exchange, at which time all such withheld dividends which have not yet been paid to a public official pursuant to relevant abandoned property laws will be paid to the holder thereof or his designee, without interest.

No fractional shares of new common stock will be issued to any stockholder. Accordingly, stockholders of record who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares of new common stock, will, upon surrender of their certificates representing shares of old common stock, receive such additional fractional share as will result in the holder having a whole number of shares.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The combination and change of each ten shares of the old common stock into one share of new common stock should be a tax-free transaction, and the holding period and tax basis of the old common stock will be transferred to the new common stock received in exchange therefor. We have not sought and will not seek an opinion of counsel or a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the federal income tax consequences of the reverse split. The state and local tax consequences of the reverse split may vary significantly as to each stockholder, depending upon the jurisdiction in which such stockholder resides. This discussion should not be considered as tax or investment advice, and the tax consequences of the reverse split may not be the same for all stockholders. Stockholders should consult their own tax advisors to know their individual federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences.

Financial Statements

Our annual report for the year ended December 31, 2010, includes our audited consolidated financial statements, and our quarterly report for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, which includes our unaudited consolidated financial statements and which are incorporated by reference in this proxy statement. A copy of the annual report and quarterly report accompanies this information statement. See “Incorporation by Reference.”

Vote Required

The approval of the amendment to our certificate of incorporation requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock. The sole holder of the outstanding series A preferred stock, which is the only outstanding series of preferred stock, has approved the amendment.

Board of Directors Recommendation

The board of directors recommends a vote FOR the approval of the proposal to amend our certificate of incorporation to effect a one-for-ten reverse split and reduce our authorized capital stock 50,000,000 shares of common stock and 30,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
