	 	As of December 30, 2008






     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Changing World Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Obligor”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to Harold Finkelstein (the
“Payee”), the principal amount set forth in Section 2 hereto, as the same may be modified
or amended from time to time with the consent of the Obligor and the Payee, together with interest
thereon as provided in Section 1 hereto, on the Maturity Date (as defined below), on the terms and
subject to the conditions provided herein. Reference is made to that certain Collateral, Agency and
Intercreditor Agreement dated on or about the date hereof (as the same may be amended, modified,
supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Agreement”) among the Obligor, Resource
Recovery Corporation, a Delaware corporation, the Payee, certain other creditors of the Obligor
party thereto (together with the Payee, collectively, the
“Secured Creditors” and each,
individually, a “Secured Creditor”), and Ira B. Silver, in his capacity as collateral agent
for the Secured Creditors (in such capacity, the “Agent”). The Obligor agrees, the Payee,
by accepting this Note, agrees, and all subsequent holders of this Note each agree, that certain
rights and obligations of the Obligor and the Payee hereunder are governed by and are subject to
the terms of the Agreement, to the extent set forth therein, and in the event that there is any
inconsistency between the terms contained in this Note and the terms contained in the Agreement,
the terms contained in the Agreement shall prevail.



     1. Interest. From the date hereof until (but not including) the date this Note is paid
in full, interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount of this Note at a rate per annum
equal to eighteen 18% percent (the “Rate”) compounded annually on each anniversary of the
date hereof. The payment of accrued interest hereunder shall be deferred to the Maturity Date or to
any other date when the unpaid principal amount hereof is declared or becomes due and payable. The
amount of accrued interest so deferred will bear interest at the Rate, to the extent that payment
of such interest is lawful, until paid in full. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default (as defined below), the unpaid principal amount of this Note and, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, any interest payments or any fees or other amounts owed hereunder,
shall thereafter bear interest (including post petition interest in any proceeding under any
applicable bankruptcy laws, whether or not allowed in such a proceeding) payable on demand at a
rate that is two percent (2.0%) per annum in excess of the Rate otherwise applicable thereto
pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 1 (the “Default Rate”). Interest payable pursuant
hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed.



     2. Loan. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Note, the
principal amount of this Note shall be made available to the Obligor in a single drawing on the

a UCC financing statement;



 









 





     (e) Consummation

money to the Obligor concurrently with the extension of the Loan shall have consummated such
transaction and the Obligor shall have received all of the proceeds of such other loans; and



     (f) Compliance. Both before and after giving effect to the Loan, (i) no Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) each of the representations and
warranties made by the Obligor herein or in any other Loan Document shall be true and correct in
all material respects (to the extent not otherwise qualified by materiality) on and as of such
date, except for representations and warranties expressly stated to relate to a specific earlier
date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such
earlier
date.



     4. Representations
and Warranties. To induce the Payee to make the Loan, the Obligor hereby represents and warrants to the Payee that:



     (a) Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. The Obligor (i) is duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization,
(ii) has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to own and/or lease and operate
its
property and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (iii) is duly qualified to
do
business as a foreign entity and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its
ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such
qualification, (iv) is in material compliance with all
requirements of law and (v) has all consents,
licenses and authority necessary to execute this Note.



     (b) Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. The Obligor has the
corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan
Documents and to borrow hereunder. The Obligor has taken all necessary corporate or other
necessary actions to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents
and to authorize the borrowing on the terms and conditions of this Note. All consents or
authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any governmental
authority or any other person, to the extent required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or the
execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Note or any of the other Loan
Documents have been obtained or made, as applicable. Each Loan Document has been duly
executed and delivered on behalf of the Obligor. This Note
constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Obligor,
enforceable against the Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles
(whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).



     (c) No
Default; Non-Contravention. The Obligor is not in violation or default of any provisions of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or, to its knowledge, of any instrument,
judgment, order, writ, decree, mortgage, indenture, lease, license or contract to which it is a
party or by which it is bound, except as would not reasonably be expected to have, either
individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the condition, business, assets,
properties, rights, results of operations or prospects of the Obligor or any of its subsidiaries (a
“Material Adverse Effect”). The execution, delivery, and performance of the Loan Documents and the



 









 







consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will not result in any such violation or
be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either
a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract, or an
event which results in the creation of any lien, charge, or encumbrance upon any assets of the
Obligor or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material
permit, license, authorization, or approval applicable to the Obligor, its business or operations,
or any of its assets or properties, except as would not reasonably be expected to have, either
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.



     (d) Title to Assets; No Encumbrances. With respect to the property and assets it owns,
the Obligor owns such property and assets free and clear of all mortgages, liens, loans, pledges,
security interests, claims, equitable interests, charges, and encumbrances, except such
encumbrances and liens which arise in the ordinary course of business and do not impair in any
material respect the Obligor’s ownership or use of such property or assets. With respect to the
property and assets it leases, the Obligor is in compliance with such leases and, to its knowledge,
holds a valid leasehold interest free of any liens, claims, or encumbrances.



     (e) Securities Matters. Neither the Obligor nor any of its agents has engaged in any
form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) in connection with the transactions contemplated by
the Loan Documents.



     (f) Indebtedness. As of the date hereof, the Obligor has no indebtedness for borrowed
money, other than the indebtedness owing to the other Secured Creditors and evidenced by the
promissory notes executed by the Obligor on or about the date hereof and payable to each such other
Secured Creditor, nor has it guaranteed or agreed to be liable for the payment of any such
indebtedness of any other person or entity and the Obligor has no obligation or agreement to incur
any indebtedness for borrowed money.



     (g) No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Note and the other
Loan Documents, the borrowing hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any
requirement of law.



     (h) Use
of Proceeds. The proceeds from the Loan will be used by the Obligor for
general corporate purposes.



     5. Payment. The full outstanding principal amount of this Note, together with all
accrued and unpaid interest hereunder, shall become due and payable on the Maturity Date. All
monies due hereunder shall be paid in the currency in which this Note is denominated. If any
payment on this Note shall be due on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, it shall be payable on

this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest hereunder, this Note shall be surrendered
to the Obligor for cancellation. Subject to the terms of the Agreement, all payments hereunder
shall be applied to accrued and unpaid interest and to outstanding principal in such order as
determined by Payee in its sole discretion.



 









 





     6. Prepayment.
Subject to the terms of the Agreement, the Obligor may, at its option,
prepay this Note, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time without penalty or premium.
Any prepayment of any portion of the principal amount of this Note shall be accompanied by payment
of accrued and unpaid interest through the date of prepayment with respect to the principal amount
being prepaid.



     7. Security. This Note and payments of principal and interest and all other
obligations with respect to this Note are secured to the extent provided by the Agreement.



     8. Taxes. The Obligor shall make all payments, whether on account of principal,
interest, fees or otherwise, free of and without deduction or withholding for any present or future
taxes, duties or other charges (“Taxes”). If the Obligor is compelled by law to deduct or withhold

no deduction or withholding.

hereby.



     19. Records of Payments. The records of Payee shall be prima facie evidence of the
amounts owing on this Note.



     20. Severability. In the event anyone or more of the provisions contained in this Note
should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and



 









 







enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any
way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such
provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to
replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect
of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
Each waiver in this Note is subject to the overriding and controlling rule that it shall be
effective only if and to the extent that (a) it is not prohibited by applicable law and (b)
applicable law neither provides for nor allows any material sanctions to be imposed against Payee
for having bargained for and obtained it.



     21. Notices. Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted to be
given hereunder shall be given in writing by delivering it against receipt for it, by depositing it

for notice may be changed at any time and from time to time, but only after five (5) calendar days
advance written notice to Obligor and shall be the most recent such address furnished in writing by
the Agent to the Obligor. Actual notice, however and from whomever given or received, shall always
be effective when received.
