FIRST AMENDMENT TO
CONSULTING AGREEMENT
This First Amendment (this "Amendment") to Consulting Agreement is made and entered into on August 11, 2008, between China Energy Recovery, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and ARC China, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Consultant").
RECITALS:
A. On June 20, 2008, the Company and Consultant entered into a Consulting Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to retain Consultant's services and Consultant agreed to render services to the Company (the "Agreement").
B. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company issued Consultant a Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the "Warrant").
C. The Company and Consultant desire to amend the Agreement to reduce the aggregate number of shares of common stock of the Company which may be purchased by Consultant upon exercise of the Warrant from 750,000 shares to 250,000 shares, all of which shares were immediately vested and exercisable upon issuance of the Warrant and all of which shares have previously been purchased by Consultant on a cashless basis.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual promises and covenants contained in the Agreement and this Amendment, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENT:
