CONTINUATION AND LOAN AGREEMENT

THIS CONTINUATION AND LOAN AGREEMENT (“Loan Agreement”) is entered into by and
among Hold and Opt Investments Limited, a Bahamas company (“Lender”), with
offices at Deltec House, Lyford Cay, P.O. Box N-3229, Nassau, Bahamas, China
Energy Recovery, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”  or “CER”), and Mr.
Wu Qinghuan, as of this 31st day of December 2010.

WHEREAS, CER and the Lender entered into a term loan note and agreement (the
“2009 Loan”) as of May 21, 2009, under which CER, through its subsidiary, CER
Energy Recovery (Shanghai) Co., Inc. (“CER Shanghai”) borrowed from the Lender
the amount of USD $5,000,000 on September 28, 2009, which amount is due
September 29, 2011.

WHEREAS, CER and the Lender wish that this Loan Agreement and the funding
hereunder when deemed made will be to modify the 2009 Loan, and this Loan
Agreement shall be deemed to be a continued lending arrangement between the
Lender and CER, with the consequence that the 2009 Loan will be modified in all
respects, including such provisions as the right of conversion into shares of
common stock of CER and related provisions. For clarity, any registration rights
granted by separate agreement by the Company at the time of the 2009 Loan shall
continue to be governed by such separate agreement and the termination of the
2009 Loan will not affect that agreement in any way.

WHEREAS, CER and the Lender agree that the terms of this Loan Agreement will
only take effect  on September 29, 2011 and only when the Collateral (as defined
herein) shall be available as security for this Loan Agreement and the funding
hereunder, which date will be referred to as the “Loan Date.”

WHEREAS, as security for this Loan Agreement and the Loan (as hereinafter
defined), Mr. Wu Qinghuan, the Chief Executive Officer of CER will pledge
8,000,006 shares of common stock of CER (the “Collateral”), which shares will be
held under the terms of a collateral agent agreement (the “Collateral
Agreement”) for the benefit of the Lender among the Lender, Mr. Wu and Golenbock
Eiseman Assor Bell & Peskoe LLP, as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”),
which will be entered into after (i) the Collateral is release from the terms of
a loan entered into by the Company and its subsidiaries made on February 1, 2010
(the “2010 Loan”) and (ii) before the Loan Date.  The shares comprising the
Collateral have been issued to Mr. Wu as “restricted securities” as that term is
defined under Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) of the United States Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “33 Act”), and are subject to the particular provisions of
issuances by shell companies, therefore, it is understood by the Lender that the
nature of the Collateral has inherent impairments as to the ability of the
Lender to sell the Collateral, should it be permitted to do so under the terms
of this Loan and Collateral Agreement. Because of this provision, Mr. Wu agrees
to be a party to this Loan Agreement.

 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the respective representations, warranties
and agreements set forth herein, CER and the Lender, and to the extent
applicable Mr. Wu, agree as follows:

1.       Loan and Interest; Late Penalty.  As of the Loan Date, CER is
continuing to borrow from the Lender the aggregate sum of USD$ 5,000,000 (the
“Loan Amount”). The outstanding principal amount and any other financial
obligations under this Loan Agreement shall bear interest at the annual rate of
15.1%, compounded monthly, commencing the Loan Date, and continuing until the
principal is paid in full.  If any payment of principal or interest is not made
when due, then the payment will bear a monthly penalty equal to 1.5% of the
amount due, compounded monthly, until paid in full.
 
2.       Loan Amount.  The Loan Amount shall continue the principal amount due
under the 2009 Loan.  As of the Loan Date, cash amounts due under the 2009 Loan,
other than the principal due thereunder, shall be paid in full, provided
however, if any cash amount or other cash obligation remains outstanding under
the 2009 Loan, then the terms of the 2009 Loan shall continue as respect those
terms only.  Because the amount due under the 2009 Loan is equal to the Loan
Amount, the Lender will not provide any new cash funding under this Loan
Agreement to the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates.
 
3.       Maturity Date; Interest; Payments. The maturity date of the Loan Amount
will be September 29, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”).  Interest will accrue monthly
and will be due and payable at the Maturity Date. The payment of the Loan
Amount, interest and any other sums due under this Loan Agreement will be paid
to the Lender without any deduction for any withholding amounts imposed by any
jurisdiction, taxes or fees.
 
4.       Prepayment. CER may prepay the principal under this Loan Agreement in
whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, upon 30 days advance written
notice to the Lender, without any premium or other penalty. Each prepayment
shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount to be prepaid
through the date of payment.  Any prepayment will be paid without any deduction
for any withholding amounts imposed by any jurisdiction, taxes or fees.
 
5.       Exchange Rate Differential Payment.  As an additional inducement to the
Lender to enter into this Loan Agreement and to extend the Loan Amount, which
payment will not be considered interest hereunder, CER will compensate the
Lender for any change in the exchange rate between the RMB and United States
Dollar (“USD”), after the Loan Date as follows:  if the RMB exchange rate
between the RMB and USD is less than the agreed upon exchange rate on the Loan
Date, such that the value of the RMB is greater than the USD, then the
difference in the principal and/or interest and/or cash amount (such as
penalties) due that are being paid calculated at the rate of RMB to USD on such
repayment date will be converted into a US dollar amount and paid to the Lender.
 
 
2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
The RMB exchange rate between the RMB and USD, for the purposes of this
provision, will be determined as of the Loan Date, and will be confirmed in
writing and approved by mutual agreement between CER and the Lender.
 
For the purposes of this Loan Agreement, the above formula is as follows:
 {[(A x B) – (A x C)] divided by C} = D
 
A = US dollar amount of payment.
B = The RMB to US$ exchange rate on date of Loan Date.
C = The RMB to US$ exchange rate on the payment date, determined by the Bank of
China.
D = Compensation amount, to be paid in cash to Lender

6.       Obligation to Fund Loan.  Although the funding of the Loan Amount is a
funding of an amount previously extended by the Lender under the 2009 Loan, the
Loan Date will not be effective until the following documentation has been fully
executed and exchanged among the parties:
 
 
a.
The Loan Agreement among the Lender, CER and Mr. Wu;

 
 
b.
Evidence from the lenders under the 2010 Loan of full payment and discharge of
all the obligations under the 2010 Loan, including any principal, interest and
interest rate differential shares, such that the Collateral has been released

c.
Collateral Agreement among Mr. Wu, CER and the Lender, for the benefit of the
Lender, it being understood that the Collateral Agent will not execute and
deliver the Collateral Agreement until it receives satisfactory evidence of the
full repayment and full discharge of the 2010 Loan and that the Collateral is
free and clear of all encumbrances, except for the terms of the Collateral
Agreement.

legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated

maximum as allowed by law, and payment received from CER in excess of such legal
maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of
this Loan Agreement to the extent of such excess.

13.3       Attorney-in-Fact.  CER hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender its
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of CER and in the
name of CER or otherwise, at such time as an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing under this Loan Agreement to take any action and to execute any
instrument which the Lender may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to
accomplish the purposes of this Loan Agreement including:
 
(a)       to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and
give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in
connection with this Loan Agreement; and

(b)       to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings
which the Lender may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of amounts
due or enforcement of obligations under this Loan Agreement or otherwise to
enforce the rights of the Lender under this Loan Agreement.

       To the extent permitted by law, CER hereby ratifies all that such
attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This
power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until
this Loan Agreement is paid in full.
13.4       Remedies Cumulative.  The rights and remedies of Lender under this
Loan Agreement, shall be cumulative. The Lender shall have all the other rights
and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the law, or in
equity.  No exercise by the Lender of one right or remedy shall be deemed an
election, and no waiver by the Lender of any Event of Default shall be deemed a
continuing waiver.  No delay by the Lender in the enforcement of the terms of
this Loan Agreement shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.
 
13.5       Amendment.  This Loan Agreement and its terms only may be changed,
waived or amended only by the written consent of CER and the Lender.
 
13.6       Severability.   In case any provision contained herein (or part
thereof) shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable
in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or other unenforceability shall not
affect any other provision (or the remaining part of the affected provision)
hereof, but this Loan Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal,
or unenforceable provision (or part thereof) had never been contained herein,
but only to the extent that such provision is invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable.
 
13.7       Assignment.    The Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each
an “Assignee”) all, or any ratable part of all, of this Loan Agreement and the
other rights and obligations of the Lender hereunder and any of the Control
Preferred Stock; provided, that CER may continue to deal solely and directly
with the Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until
(i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions,
addresses, and related information with respect to the Assignee, have been given
to CER by the holders and the Assignee, and (ii) the holder and its Assignee
have delivered to CER a document reflecting such assignment and acceptance
reasonably acceptable to CER.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
13.8       Payment Set Aside.  To the extent that CER makes a payment or
payments to the Lender hereunder or the Lender enforces or exercises its rights
hereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or
exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are
required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to CER by a trustee,
receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any
bankruptcy law, other law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the
extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally
intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect
as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not
occurred.
 
13.9       Independent Nature of Lender’ Obligations and Rights.  The
obligations of the Lender under this Loan Agreement and related agreements
(together, the “Transaction Documents”) are several and not joint with the
obligations of any other Lender, and no Lender shall be responsible in any way
for the performance of the obligations of any other Lender under any Transaction
Documents, except were actions are taken jointly as provided in the Transaction
Documents.  The decision of each Lender to make their respective Loan pursuant
to this Loan Agreement has been made by such Lender independently of any other
Lender and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions
as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities,
results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of CER
and its subsidiaries and affiliates, taken as a whole. which may have been made
or given by any other Lender or by any agent or employee of any other Lender,
and no Lender or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any
other Lender (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such
information, materials, statements or opinions.  Nothing contained herein or in
any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Lender pursuant thereto,
shall be deemed to constitute the Lender as a partnership, an association, a
joint venture or any other kind of entity.  Each Lender acknowledges that no
other Lender has acted as agent for such Lender in connection with making its
Loan under this Loan Agreement and that no other Lender will be acting as agent
of such Lender in connection with monitoring its investment hereunder.
 
13.10       Survival.  The representations and warranties, agreements and
covenants contained herein shall survive the making of the Loan or advance of
funds and the repayment of the Loan or advance of funds, as herein contemplated.
 
13.11       Execution.  This agreement and all related agreements, instruments
and documents may each be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which
when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement, instrument,
or document and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by
each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all
parties need not sign the same counterpart.  In the event that any signature is
delivered by facsimile transmission or email attachment, such signature shall
create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf
such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile
or email-attached signature page were an original thereof.
