WHEREAS, Can-Med Technology, Inc. d/b/a Green Diamond Oil Corp., an Ontario corporation ("Green Diamond") has prior to this date advanced sums to CECO Environmental Corp. (the "Company") as evidenced by a Second Amended and Restated Replacement Promissory Note dated December 29, 2005 (the "Prior Note"), which Prior Note shall be cancelled and replaced by this Third Amended and Restated Replacement Promissory Note (the "Note").







WHEREAS, Green Diamond has agreed to amend and restate the Prior Note and replace the Prior Note with this Note to extend the maturity date and increase the interest rate under the Prior Note. 







FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, CECO Environmental Corp. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, hereby promises to pay to the order of Green Diamond Oil Corp. or registered assigns ("Holder"), the principal sum of ONE MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 ($1,200,000.00) on the Maturity Date, as defined in Section 1 below.  This Note is subordinate to certain bank financing of the Company further described herein and to a series of promissory notes in the original principal amount of $5,000,000 originally issued on December 2, 1999 and subsequently amended and restated (the "December 1999 Notes").  The principal amount of the December 1999 Notes has been increased in connection with an amendment and restatement.







1.Maturity.  This Note shall be due and payable upon the earlier to occur of the following events (the "Maturity Date"):  (i) July 1, 2008 or (ii) the closing (any such closing referred to as the "Closing") of a Sale Transaction.  For purposes of this Note, a Sale Transaction shall mean (i) a merger, consolidation, corporate reorganization, or sale of shares of stock of the Company as a result of which there is a change in control and/or the shareholders of the Company on the date hereof ("Current Shareholders") own 50% or less of the outstanding shares of the Company on a fully-diluted basis immediately after the transaction and, including as outstanding for purposes of such calculation, any warrants, options or other instruments convertible or exchangeable into equity securities of the Company issued to persons other than the Current Shareholders in connection with the transaction or (ii) the sale of (A) fifty percent or more of the assets of the Company or (B) any subsidiary, division or line of business of the Company for total consideration in excess of $5 million.







2.Interest.  Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance hereof and on any interest payment that is not made when due at the simple compounded rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum.  Accrued interest shall be due and payable on March 31 and September 30 of each year and on the Maturity Date.  It shall not be a default hereunder and interest will not accrue on any portion of such interest payments deferred pursuant to the Subordination Agreement ("Deferred Interest") so long as the Deferred Interest is paid at the time and in the manner allowed by the Subordination Agreement (as defined herein).  In the Event of Default (as defined herein), interest shall accrue on all unpaid amounts due hereunder including without limitation, interest, at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum.  If a judgment is entered against the Company on this Note, the amount of the judgment so entered shall bear interest at the highest rate authorized by law as of the date of the entry of the judgment.







3.Payments.  Payments of both principal and interest shall be made at the Company's office in Toronto, Ontario, or such other place as the Holder hereof shall designate to the Company in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America.  So long as no Event of Default has occurred in this Note, all payments hereunder shall first be applied to interest, then to principal.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default in this Note, all payments hereunder shall first be applied to costs pursuant to Section 10.5, then to interest and the remainder to principal.










	Registered Owner.  Prior to due presentation for registration of transfer, the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner and holder of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, and interest on, this Note and for all other purposes.






	Prepayment.





5.1Optional Prepayment.  The Company, at its option and without any premium, may prepay in whole or in part the principal amount of this Note at any time.  The Company shall, at the time of any such prepayment, pay to the holder of this Note all interest accrued and unpaid to the Prepayment Date (defined below).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, once a notice of the Closing of a Sale Transaction pursuant to Section 10.4 has been sent to the Holder, the Company may not prepay this Note prior to the Closing of a Sale Transaction, or until the Sale Transaction has been formally abandoned.







5.2Notice of Prepayment.  At least five (5) but not more than fifteen (15) days prior to the date fixed for any prepayment, written notice shall be given to the holder of this Note of the election of the Company to prepay all or a specified portion of the principal amount of the Note (the "Prepayment Notice.").  The Prepayment Notice shall specify the date upon ("Prepayment Date") and the place at which, payment may be obtained and shall call upon the Holder to surrender this Note to the Company in the manner and at the place designated.  On the Prepayment Date, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company in the manner and at the place designated in the Prepayment Notice, and thereupon prepayment shall be made to Holder and this Note shall be cancelled.  In the event that less than all the principal amount of this Note is prepaid, upon surrender of this Note to the Company, the Company shall execute and deliver to Holder a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of this Note.






5.3Cessation of Rights.  From and after the Prepayment Date, unless there has been a default under the Prepayment Notice, all interest on the redeemed principal amount shall cease to accrue and all rights of Holder as a Holder of this Note shall cease with respect to the principal amount prepaid and, with respect to such amount, this Note thereafter shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever.  By acceptance of this Note, Holder agrees to execute and deliver such documents as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Company in order to implement the foregoing provisions of this Section.








	Subordination.  The indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall at all times be wholly subordinate and junior in right of payment to all obligations of the Company under or in connection with the Credit Agreement dated December 29, 2005 ("Superior Debt") among the Company, CECO Group Inc., CECO Filters, Inc., New Bush Co., Inc., The Kirk & Blum Manufacturing Company, kbd/Technic, Inc., CECOAire, Inc., CECO Abatement Systems, Inc. and Fifth Third Bank, upon the terms and conditions contained in the Subordination Agreement, dated as of December 29, 2005 (as amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, the "Subordination Agreement") in favor of Fifth Third Bank (together with its successors and assigns, and the other holders, if any, of the Senior Obligations identified therein). This Note also is subordinate to the December 1999 Notes, and no payments of principal or interest shall be made under this Note, if an Event of Default (as defined in the December 1999 Notes) is existing under any of the December 1999 Notes.






	Covenants of the Company.  The Company covenants and agrees that it shall not, without the prior written approval of the Holder:


7.1Obtain or incur any indebtedness or other monetary obligations that are senior to or on parity with this Note, other than the Superior Debt and the December 1999 Notes.

A waiver or release with reference to one event shall not be construed as continuing as a bar to or as a waiver or release of any subsequent right, remedy, or recourse as to any subsequent event.






	No Waiver by Holder.  The acceptance by Holder of any payment under this Note which is less than the amount then due or the acceptance of any amount after the due date thereof, shall not be deemed a waiver of any right or remedy available to Holder nor nullify the prior exercise of any such right or remedy by Holder.  None of the terms or provisions of this Note may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by a written document executed by Holder and then only to the extent specifically recited therein.  No course of dealing or conduct shall be effective waive, alter, modify or amend any of the terms or provisions hereof.

HOLDER AND BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, IRREVOCABLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT EITHER MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BASED ON THIS NOTE, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO.  THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR HOLDER TO MAKE THE LOAN EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE.


10.14. This Note is issued, in part, in replacement of the Prior Note.
