The approximate date of mailing for this proxy statement and a copy of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 is October 19, 2011.You are invited to attend the Annual Meeting, and we request that you vote on the proposals described in this Proxy Statement. You do not need to attend the meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may simply complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy card.

Record Date

Our Board of Directors has set October 10, 2011 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the Annual Meeting. Only holders of record of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) and the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting or at any adjournment or postponements thereof.

On the Record Date there were 31,085,859 shares of Common Stock and200,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock registered in his or her name on the record date. Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to that number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which his or her shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into on the record date. On the record date, each share of Series A Preferred Stock was convertible into 0.52941 shares of Common Stock.

Quorum

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. Our Bylaws provide that a majority of the outstanding shares of common and preferred stock entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders.

Voting by Proxy

If your shares are registered directly in your name with Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc., our transfer agent, you are considered a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record at the close of business on the Record Date, you can vote in person at the Annual Meeting or you can provide a proxy to be voted at the meeting by signing and returning the enclosed proxy card. If you submit a proxy card, we will vote your shares as you direct. If you submit a proxy card without giving specific voting instructions, those shares will be voted as recommended by the Board of Directors, which means your shares will be voted “For” all the nominees to the Board of Directors in Proposal I, and “For” Proposals II and III. If any other matter is properly presented at the Annual Meeting, your proxy (i.e., one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares using their best judgment.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or otherwise by a nominee (that is, in “street name”), you will need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds your shares and follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to instruct your broker to vote your shares. If you do not give instructions to your broker, your broker can vote your shares with respect to “discretionary” items, but not with respect to “non-discretionary” items. Discretionary items are proposals considered routine under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange on which your broker may vote shares held in street name in the absence of your voting instructions. On non-discretionary items for which you do not give your broker instructions, the shares cannot be voted and will be treated as broker non-votes.

Required Vote

Election of Directors .  Directors are elected by a plurality of the affirmative votes cast by those shares of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class) present, either in person or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Broker non-votes will count towards the quorum but will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. Stockholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes for directors.

Ratification of the Auditors .  The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class) present, either in person or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to approve this proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as an “Against” vote.

Approval of 2011 Performance Equity Plan .  The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class) present, either in person or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to approve this proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as an “Against” vote.

Revocation of Proxy

Your execution of the enclosed proxy will not affect your right as a stockholder to attend the Annual Meeting and to vote in person. Any stockholder giving a proxy has the right to revoke it at anytime by either (i) a later-dated proxy, (ii) a written revocation sent to and received by the Secretary of the Company prior to the Annual Meeting, or (iii) attendance at the Meeting and voting in person. If your shares are held in street name, you must follow the instructions provided by your broker or bank.

Cost of Proxy Solicitation

We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies by our Board of Directors. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, solicitation may be made personally or by telephone or electronic communication by our directors, officers and employees, none of whom will receive additional compensation for these services. We will reimburse brokers and other nominees for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with distributing forms of proxies and proxy materials to the beneficial owners of our Common and Series A Preferred Stock.

Stockholder Proposals for next Annual Meeting

Under Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), stockholders of the Company may present proper proposals for inclusion in the Company’s Proxy Statement and for consideration at the next annual meeting of stockholders by submitting their proposals to the Company in a timely manner.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board Leadership Structure

The Board considers and establishes the appropriate leadership structure for the Company. The Board has concluded that the Company and its stockholders are best served by not having a formal policy on whether the same individual should serve as both Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. The Board believes that it is important to retain the flexibility to make this determination based on the circumstances at the time of the determination, recognizing that no single leadership structure will best serve the Company in all cases. This allows the Board to use its broad experience and knowledge to elect the most qualified director as Chairman of the Board, while maintaining its ability to either separate or combine the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Qinghuan Wu serves as our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. The Board believes that Mr. Wu’s diverse work experience, his education, and his demonstrated leadership ability make him the best choice currently to serve as our Chairman of the Board. The Board believes that the Company’s current model of the combined Chairman/CEO role is the appropriate structure for CER at this time.

Independence of the Board of Directors

We undertook a review of the independence of our directors and, using the definitions and independence standards for directors provided in the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, although not required as the standard for the Company as its stock is traded in the over-the-counter market, considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could interfere with his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out their responsibilities. As a result of this review, we affirmatively determined that Estelle Lau, Dr. Yan Kung and Jules Silbert are “independent” within the meaning of the applicable Nasdaq rules.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The Board has established three standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating Committee. Each committee member qualifies as “independent” under the rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Audit Committee

The current members of the Company’s Audit Committee are Estelle Lau and Jules Silbert. Ms. Lau is the chairman of the committee and qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee reviews and reports to the Board on our internal accounting and financial controls and on the accounting principles and auditing practices and procedures to be employed in preparing and reviewing our consolidated financial statements. The Audit Committee is also responsible for engaging and overseeing our independent public accountants, the scope of the audit to be undertaken by such accountants and the pre-approval of any audit and permitted non-audit services provided by such accountants. During 2010, the Audit Committee held 12 meetings. The Audit Committee does not at this time have a formal written charter.

Compensation Committee

The current members of the Company’s Compensation Committee are Estelle Lau and Dr. Kung. Dr. Kung is chairman of the committee. The Compensation Committee reviews and, as it deems appropriate, recommends to the Board policies, practices and procedures relating to the compensation of the Company’s executive officers and other managerial employees, including the determination, in its discretion, of the amount of annual bonuses, if any, for our executive officers and other professionals. The Compensation Committee advises and consults with our senior executives as may be requested regarding managerial personnel policies. The Compensation Committee did not meet during 2010. The Compensation Committee does not at this time have a formal written charter.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Nominating Committee

The current members of the Company’s Nominating Committee are Dr. Kung and Jules Silbert. Mr. Silbert is chairman of the committee. The Nominating Committee identifies and recommends nominees to the Board of Directors. The Nominating Committee did not meet during 2010. The Nominating Committee does not at this time have a formal written charter.

The Nominating Committee is responsible for assembling for stockholder consideration a group of nominees that, taken together, have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills appropriate for functioning effectively as a Board. The Nominating Committee reviews the composition of the Board in light of the Company’s changing requirements, its assessment of the Board’s performance, and the inputs of stockholders and other key constituencies.

While the Nominating Committee has not adopted specific minimum criteria for director nominees, the Committee looks for certain characteristics common to all board members, including integrity, strong professional reputation and record of achievement, constructive and collegial personal attributes, and the ability and commitment to devote sufficient time and energy to Board service.

In addition, the Nominating Committee seeks to include on the Board a complementary mix of individuals with diverse backgrounds and skills that can help the Board to meet the broad set of challenges that it confronts. These individual qualities can include matters like experience in the Company’s industry, technical experience (for example, financial or technological expertise), experience gained in situations comparable to the Company’s, leadership experience, and relevant geographical experience. The Committee does not assign specific weights to particular criteria and no particular criterion is necessarily applicable to all prospective nominees.

The Nominating Committee will consider all bona fide candidates for election to the Board of Directors and will consider any stockholder nominations pursuant to the same criteria, provided those nominated are submitted in accordance with applicable law and within the time periods set forth herein for receipt of stockholder proposals for the 2012 annual meeting of stockholders.

Meetings of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors formally met once during 2010, and acted three times by unanimous written consent. All directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board of Directors held during the period for which they were a director.

We expect all of our directors attended the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. We do not maintain a formal policy regarding director attendance at our annual meeting of stockholders.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

The Board of Directors has an active role, as a whole and also at the committee level, in overseeing management of the Company’s risks. The Board regularly reviews information regarding the Company’s credit, liquidity and operations, as well as the risks associated with each. The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to the Company’s executive compensation plans and arrangements. The Audit Committee oversees management of financial risks. The Nominating Committee manages risks associated with the independence of the Board of Directors and potential conflicts of interest of director nominees. While each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire Board of Directors is regularly informed through committee reports about such risks.

Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors

Stockholders may contact members of the Board of Directors by writing to them care of China Energy Recovery, Inc., Building#26, No. 1388 Zhangdong Road, Zhangjiang Hi-tech Park, Shanghai, China 201203 Attention: Secretary. The Secretary will forward correspondence received to the directors from time to time.

Code of Ethics

We do not currently have a Code of Ethics in place for the Company. The Company seeks advice and counsel from outside experts such as our lawyers on matters relating to corporate governance. We recognize that adopting a Code of Ethics would be a valuable addition to our corporate structure, but do not believe it is necessary at this time.

Report of the Audit Committee*

The Audit Committee oversees the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the systems of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 with management, including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.

The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing, approving and managing the engagement of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, including the scope, extent and procedures of the annual audit and compensation to be paid therefore, and all other matters the audit committee deems appropriate, including the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm’s accountability to the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviewed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, which is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles, its judgment as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Company’s accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the audit committee under auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, including those described in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, “Communication with Audit Committees,” and discussed and reviewed the results of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm’s examination of the financial statements. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence from management and the Company, including the matters in the written disclosures and the letter regarding its independence as required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence. The Audit Committee also considered whether the provision of any non-audit services was compatible with maintaining the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence.

The Audit Committee discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm the overall scope and plans for its audits, and received from them written disclosures and letter regarding their independence. The Audit Committee meets with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to discuss the results of its examinations and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting. In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors (and the Board of Directors approved) that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The audit committee has also retained PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian CPAs Limited Company as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.

Representatives of PwC are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Stockholder ratification of the selection of PwC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is not required by the Company’s Bylaws or otherwise.

If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Vote Required.   The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class) present, whether in person or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to ratify the selection of PwC.

PROPOSAL III
  
APPROVAL OF CHINA ENERGY RECOVERY
2011 PERFORMANCE EQUITY PLAN

General

The China Energy Recovery 2011 Performance Equity Plan (the “Equity Plan”) has been approved by our Board of Directors and will take effect upon approval by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting. We are submitting the plan to our shareholders for their approval so that options granted under the plan may qualify for treatment as incentive stock options and awards under the plan may constitute performance-based compensation not subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Equity Plan reserves 3,714,800 shares of our common stock for issuance in accordance with the Equity Plan’s terms. The purpose of the Equity Plan is to enable the Company to offer to its employees, officers, directors and consultants whose past, present and/or potential contributions to the Company and its subsidiaries have been, are or will be important to the success of the Company, an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company. The amount, if any, of awards granted to officers, directors, employees and consultants under the Equity Plan in the future will be determined in the discretion of the Board of Directors and is not currently determinable. The various types of long-term incentive awards that may be provided under the Equity Plan will enable the Company to respond to changes in compensation practices, tax laws, accounting regulations and the size and diversity of its businesses.

A summary of the principal features of the Equity Plan is provided below, but is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the plan, which is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A.

Description of the Equity Plan

The Equity Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof (the “Committee”). The Committee has the authority to award stock options, shares of restricted or deferred stock or other stock-based awards to the Company’s employees, officers, directors and consultants (or those of the Company’s affiliates). The Committee has the power to determine the terms and conditions of any award granted under the Equity Plan.

The Committee may grant two types of stock options under the Equity Plan:  (i) options qualifying as “incentive stock options” under the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any successor provision, and designated as such (“ISOs”), and (ii) non-qualified stock options.

The Committee determines the terms and conditions of the stock option grant, including the option term, the exercise price per share and the vesting schedule, if any. In no event will the term of the option exceed 10 years nor shall the exercise price be less than the Fair Market Value (as that term is defined in the Equity Plan) on the grant date.

ISOs may be granted only to employees. To the extent required by Section 422(d) of the Code, the aggregate fair market value of shares of common stock with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by any individual during any calendar year may not exceed $100,000. ISOs granted to a person considered to own more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of the Company’s outstanding stock, or the stock of any subsidiary or affiliate, may not be exercisable after the expiration of five years from the grant date and the option exercise price must be at least 110% of the Fair Market Value on the grant date.

Each option shall be evidenced by an option agreement. An option agreement may provide for the payment of the exercise price, in whole or in part, by the delivery of a number of shares of the Company’s common stock (plus cash if necessary) having a fair market value equal to such exercise price. Moreover, the Committee may permit a holder to elect to pay the exercise price upon the exercise of a stock option by irrevocably authorizing a third party to sell shares of common stock acquired upon exercise of the stock option and remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire exercise price and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Shares of restricted stock may be awarded either alone or in addition to other awards granted under the Equity Plan. The Committee shall determine the eligible persons to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of restricted stock will be awarded, the number of shares to be awarded, the price (if any) to be paid by the holder, the time or times within which such awards may be subject to forfeiture, the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration thereof and all other terms and conditions of the award. Restricted stock constitutes issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The holder of restricted stock will have the right to vote such shares, to receive dividends and other distributions as declared by the Board of Directors, and, subject to certain exceptions, to exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of a holder of common stock.

Shares of deferred stock may be awarded either alone or in addition to other awards granted under the Equity Plan. The Committee shall determine the eligible persons to whom and the time or times at which grants of deferred stock will be awarded, the number of shares of deferred stock to be awarded to any person, the duration of the period during which, and the conditions under which, receipt of the shares will be deferred, and all the other terms and conditions of the award. A holder of deferred stock shall not have any rights of a stockholder until the expiration of the applicable deferral period and the issuance of the certificates representing such common stock. The shares of common stock issuable upon expiration of the deferral period are not deemed outstanding until the expiration of such deferral period and the issuance of such common stock to the holder.

Other stock-based awards may be awarded that are denominated or payable in or otherwise based on or related to shares of the Company’s common stock, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Equity Plan. Other stock-based awards may be awarded either alone or in addition to any other awards under the Equity Plan or any other plan of the Company. Each other stock-based award shall be subject to such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee.

To the extent any option or award expires unexercised or is canceled, terminated or forfeited in any manner without the issuance of common stock, such shares shall again be available for issuance under the Equity Plan.

The Board of Directors may amend, alter, suspend or discontinue any of the provisions of the Equity Plan, however, no such amendment, alteration, suspension or discontinuance can be made that would impair the rights of a holder under any award agreement without such holder’s consent, except as otherwise set forth in the Equity Plan. It is the intent of the Company that the Equity Plan qualifies under Code Section 409A and that all awards granted be made in accordance with Code Section 409A. Accordingly, the Company has the right unilaterally to amend or modify the Equity Plan or any award agreement as it deems necessary or advisable to avoid the imposition of any additional tax, interest or penalty under Code Section 409A on any holder.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following discussion is a general summary of the principal federal income tax consequences under current law relating to award granted under the Equity Plan to an individual. The summary is not intended to be exhaustive and, among other things, does not describe state, local or foreign income and other tax consequences.

Incentive Stock Options .  The grant of an option will not be a taxable event for the grantee or for the Company. A grantee will not recognize taxable income upon exercise of an incentive stock option (except that the alternative minimum tax may apply), and any gain realized by an individual upon a disposition of our common stock received pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option will be taxed as long-term capital gain if the grantee does not dispose of the shares of common stock within least two years after the date of grant nor within one year after the date of exercise (holding period requirement). We will not be entitled to any business expense deduction with respect to the exercise of an incentive stock option, except as discussed below.

For the exercise of an option to qualify for the foregoing tax treatment, the grantee generally must be an employee of the Company from the date the option is granted through a date within three months before the date of exercise of the option.

11


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If all of the foregoing requirements are met except the holding period requirement mentioned above, the grantee will recognize ordinary income upon the disposition of the common stock in an amount generally equal to the excess of the fair market value of the common stock at the time the option was exercised over the option exercise price (but not in excess of the gain realized on the sale). The balance of the realized gain, if any, will be capital gain. We will be allowed a business expense deduction to the extent the grantee recognizes ordinary income, subject to our compliance with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and to certain reporting requirements.

Non-Qualified Options .  The grant of an option will not be a taxable event for the grantee or the Company. Upon exercising a non-qualified option, a grantee will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the common stock on the date of exercise. Upon a subsequent sale or exchange of shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of a non-qualified option, the grantee will have taxable capital gain or loss, measured by the difference between the amount realized on the disposition and the tax basis of the shares of common stock (generally, the amount paid for the shares plus the amount treated as ordinary income at the time the option was exercised).

If we comply with applicable reporting requirements and with the restrictions of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, we will be entitled to a business expense deduction in the same amount and generally at the same time as the grantee recognizes ordinary income.

A grantee who has transferred a non-qualified stock option to a family member by gift will realize taxable income at the time the non-qualified stock option is exercised by the family member. The grantee will be subject to withholding of income and employment taxes at that time. The family member’s tax basis in the shares of common stock will be the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date the option is exercised. The transfer of vested non-qualified stock options will be treated as a completed gift for gift and estate tax purposes. Once the gift is completed, neither the transferred options nor the shares acquired on exercise of the transferred options will be includable in the grantee’s estate for estate tax purposes.

In the event a grantee transfers a non-qualified stock option to his or her ex-spouse incident to the grantee’s divorce, neither the grantee nor the ex-spouse will recognize any taxable income at the time of the transfer. In general, a transfer is made “incident to divorce” if the transfer occurs within one year after the marriage ends or if it is related to the end of the marriage (for example, if the transfer is made pursuant to a divorce order or settlement agreement). Upon the subsequent exercise of such option by the ex-spouse, the ex-spouse will recognize taxable income in an amount equal to the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the shares of common stock at the time of exercise. The ex-spouse will be subject to employment and income tax withholding at this time.

Because of the complexity of the tax law and because tax law consequences to any particular taxpayer may be affected by matters not discussed herein, each taxpayer is urged to consult with his, her or its tax advisor with respect to the specific tax consequences of the Equity Plan.

Vote Required.   The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class) present, whether in person or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to approve the China Energy Recovery 2011 Performance Equity Plan. Unless otherwise indicated, properly executed proxies will be voted in favor of this Proposal III.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

Transactions with related persons, promoters and certain control persons

On February 1, 2010, Qinghuan Wu, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, arranged for a loan from Haide Engineering (Hong Kong) Limited, a company controlled by Mr. Wu, to lend to the Company the sum of $1,000,000. The proceeds of this loan were used to fund the Company’s new manufacturing plant in Yangzhou, China. The loan is unsecured and bears interest at the annual rate of 9.5%. The Company pays interest of $23,750 at the end of every three calendar months. The principal is due in full on January 30, 2012. The Company paid a total of $95,000 of interest on this loan during 2010. The Company repaid principal of $460,000 in December 2010 and the balance as of June 30, 2011 was $543,778, after taking the exchange rate into account.

Policy and Procedures Governing Related Person Transactions

The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing all “related party transactions” on an on-going basis. All such related party transactions must be approved by the Audit Committee.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

The SEC’s rules permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement and annual report addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. Some brokers household proxy materials and annual reports, delivering a single proxy statement and annual report to multiple stockholders sharing an address, although each stockholder will receive a separate proxy card. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If at any time you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report, please notify your broker. If you would like to receive a separate copy of this year’s Proxy Statement or Annual Report from us directly, please contact us by writing to China Energy Recovery, Inc., Building#26, No. 1388 Zhangdong Road, Zhangjiang Hi-tech Park, Shanghai, China 201203 Attention: Secretary.

OTHER MATTERS

Our Board of Directors does not know of any matters that are to be presented for action at the Annual Meeting other than those described in this Proxy Statement. Should any other matter come before the Annual Meeting, however, the persons named in the enclosed proxy will have discretionary authority to vote all proxies with respect to such matter in accordance with their judgment.

(a)  to select the officers, employees, directors and consultants of the Company or any Subsidiary to whom Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Deferred Stock and/or Other Stock-Based Awards may from time to time be awarded hereunder.

(b)  to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any award granted hereunder (including, but not limited to, number of shares, share exercise price or types of consideration paid upon exercise of such options, such as other securities of the Company or other property, any restrictions or limitations, and any vesting, exchange, surrender, cancellation, acceleration, termination, exercise or forfeiture provisions, as the Committee shall determine);

(c)  to determine any specified performance goals or such other factors or criteria which need to be attained for the vesting of an award granted hereunder;

(d)  to determine Fair Market Value;

(e)  to determine the terms and conditions under which awards granted hereunder are to operate in conjunction with or apart from other equity awarded under this Plan and cash and non-cash awards made by the Company or any Subsidiary outside of this Plan;

(f)  to permit a Holder to satisfy withholding tax obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise or vesting of the award that number of shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of the shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by Holders to have shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable;

(g)  to substitute (i) new Stock Options for previously granted Stock Options, which previously granted Stock Options have higher option exercise prices and/or contain other less favorable terms, and (ii) new awards of any other type for previously granted awards of the same type, which previously granted awards are upon less favorable terms; and

(h)  to make payments and distributions with respect to awards (i.e., to “settle” awards) through cash payments in an amount equal to the Repurchase Value.

2.3   Interpretation of Plan; Liability .

(a)   Committee Authority .  Subject to Section 10, below, the Committee shall have the authority to adopt, alter and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan as it shall from time to time deem advisable to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any award issued under the Plan (and to determine the form and substance of all Award Agreements relating thereto), and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan. Subject to Section 10, below, all decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be made in the Committee’s sole discretion and shall be final and binding upon all persons, including the Company, its Subsidiaries and Holders.

(b)   Incentive Stock Options .  Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no term or provision of the Plan relating to Incentive Stock Options or any Award Agreement providing for Incentive Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be so exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code or, without the consent of the Holder(s) affected, to disqualify any Incentive Stock Option under such Section 422.

(c)   Compliance with Code Section 409A.   It is the intent of the Company that the plan qualifies under Code Section 409A and all Awards granted to all Participants shall be made in accordance with Code Section 409A (including the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and any future interpretation or guidance published by the Internal Revenue Service). It is the intent of the Company that the Plan meets, is operated and maintained in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A and that no participant should be subject to any additional tax or interest as a result of Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Company reserves the right unilaterally to amend or modify the Plan or any Award Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion, to avoid the imposition of any additional tax, interest or penalty under Code Section 409A on any Holder.

(d)   Limitation of Liability .  The Committee and each member thereof, and any person acting pursuant to authority delegated by the Committee, shall be entitled, in good faith, to rely or act upon any report or other information furnished by any executive officer, other officer or employee of the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate, the Company’s independent auditors, consultants or any other agents assisting in the administration of the Plan. Members of the Committee, any person acting pursuant to authority delegated by the Committee, and any officer or employee of the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate acting at the direction or on behalf of the Committee or a delegee shall not be personally liable for any action or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and shall, to the extent permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected by the Company with respect to any such action or determination.

Section 3.  Stock Subject to Plan.

3.1   Number of Shares .  Subject to Section 3.2, below, the total number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be 3,714,800 shares. Shares of Common Stock under the Plan (“Shares”) may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares. If shares of Common Stock that are subject to an outstanding Stock Option cease to be subject to such Stock Option, or if any shares of Common Stock that are subject to any Restricted Stock award, Deferred Stock award or Other Stock-Based Award granted hereunder are forfeited or any such award otherwise terminates without a payment being made to the Holder in the form of Common Stock, such shares shall again be available for distribution in connection with future grants and awards under the Plan. If a Holder pays the exercise price of a Stock Option by surrendering any previously owned shares and/or arranges to have the appropriate number of shares otherwise issuable upon exercise withheld to cover the withholding tax liability associated with the Stock Option exercise, then the number of shares available under the Plan shall be increased by the lesser of (i) the number of such surrendered shares and shares used to pay taxes; and (ii) the number of shares purchased under such Stock Option. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, but subject to Section 3.2, below, the Committee shall not grant to any one Holder in any one calendar year awards for more than 1,000,000 shares in the aggregate.

3.2   Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization, Etc .  In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, common stock dividend payable on shares of Common Stock, Common Stock split or reverse split, combination or exchange of shares of Common Stock, or other extraordinary or unusual event which results in a change in the shares of Common Stock of the Company as a whole, the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether such change equitably requires an adjustment in the terms of any award (including number of shares subject to the award and the exercise price) or the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan. Any such adjustments will be made by the Committee, whose determination will be final, binding and conclusive.

Section 4.  Eligibility.

Awards may be made or granted to employees, officers, directors and consultants who are deemed to have rendered or to be able to render significant services to the Company or its Subsidiaries and who are deemed to have contributed or to have the potential to contribute to the success of the Company. No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any person who is not an Employee at the time of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an award may be made or granted to a person in connection with his hiring or retention, or at any time on or after the date he reaches an agreement (oral or written) with the Company with respect to such hiring or retention, even though it may be prior to the date the person first performs services for the Company or its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that no portion of any such award shall vest prior to the date the person first performs such services.

Section 5.  Stock Options.

5.1   Grant and Exercise .  Stock Options granted under the Plan may be of two types: (i) Incentive Stock Options and (ii) Nonqualified Stock Options. Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall contain such terms, not inconsistent with this Plan, or with respect to Incentive Stock Options, not inconsistent with the Plan and the Code, as the Committee may from time to time approve. Subject to Section 3.2, below, the maximum number of Shares that may be issuable upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options awarded under the Plan shall be 3,714,800. The Committee shall have the authority to grant Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options, or both types of Stock Options which may be granted alone or in addition to other awards granted under the Plan. To the extent that any Stock Option intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option does not so qualify, it shall constitute a separate Nonqualified Stock Option.

5.2   Terms and Conditions .  Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a)   Option Term .  The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee; provided, however, that (i) an Incentive Stock Option may be granted only within the ten-year period commencing from the Effective Date and (ii) in no event shall the term of any Stock Option exceed a period of ten years from the date of grant (or five years in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who, at the time of grant, owns Common Stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary (“10% Stockholder”)).

(b)   Exercise Price .  The exercise price per share of Common Stock purchasable under a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant and may not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant (or, if greater, the par value of a share of Common Stock); provided, however, that the exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a 10% Stockholder shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.

(c)   Exercisability .  Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee and as set forth in Section 9, below. If the Committee provides, in its discretion, that any Stock Option is exercisable only in installments, i.e., that it vests over time, the Committee may waive such installment exercise provisions at any time at or after the time of grant in whole or in part, based upon such factors as the Committee shall determine. The vesting provisions of individual Stock Options may vary.

A-5


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(d)   Method of Exercise .  Subject to whatever installment, exercise and waiting period provisions are applicable in a particular case, Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the term of the Option by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price, which shall be in cash or, if provided in the Award Agreement, either in shares of Common Stock (including Restricted Stock and other contingent awards under this Plan) or partly in cash and partly in such Common Stock, or such other means which the Committee determines are consistent with the Plan’s purpose and applicable law, including, but not limited to, permitting payment by surrender of a portion of the Stock Option that has a “value” equal to the difference between the purchase price of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Option and the Fair Market Value on the date prior to exercise, multiplied by the number of Shares underlying the portion of the Stock Option being surrendered, all as may be set forth in the Award Agreement representing such Stock Option. Cash payments shall be made by wire transfer, certified or bank check or personal check, in each case payable to the order of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to deliver certificates for shares of Common Stock with respect to which an Option is exercised until the Company has confirmed the receipt of good and available funds in payment of the purchase price thereof (except that, in the case of an exercise arrangement approved by the Committee and described in the last sentence of this paragraph, payment may be made as soon as practicable after the exercise). Payments in the form of Common Stock shall be valued at the Fair Market Value on the date prior to the date of exercise. Such payments shall be made by delivery of stock certificates in negotiable form that are effective to transfer good and valid title thereto to the Company, free of any liens or encumbrances. A Holder shall have none of the rights of a Stockholder with respect to the shares subject to the Option until such shares shall be transferred to the Holder upon the exercise of the Option. The Committee may permit a Holder to elect to pay the Exercise Price upon the exercise of a Stock Option by irrevocably authorizing a third party to sell shares of Common Stock (or a sufficient portion of the shares) acquired upon exercise of the Stock Option and remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire Exercise Price and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise.

(e)   Transferability .  Except as may be set forth in the next sentence of this Section or in the Award Agreement, no Stock Option shall be transferable by the Holder other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the Holder’s lifetime, only by the Holder (or, to the extent of legal incapacity or incompetency, the Holder’s guardian or legal representative). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder, with the approval of the Committee, may transfer a Stock Option (i) (A) by gift, for no consideration, or (B) pursuant to a domestic relations order, in either case, to or for the benefit of the Holder’s “Immediate Family” (as defined below), or (ii) to an entity in which the Holder and/or members of Holder’s Immediate Family own more than fifty percent of the voting interest, in exchange for an interest in that entity, subject to such limits as the Committee may establish and the execution of such documents as the Committee may require. In such event, the transferee shall remain subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to the Stock Option prior to such transfer. The term “Immediate Family” shall mean any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the Holder’s household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which these persons have more than fifty percent beneficial interest, and a foundation in which these persons (or the Holder) control the management of the assets.

(f)   Termination by Reason of Death .  If a Holder’s employment by the Company or a Subsidiary terminates by reason of death, any Stock Option held by such Holder, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement, shall thereupon automatically terminate, except that the portion of such Stock Option that is vested as of the date of death may thereafter be exercised by the legal representative of the estate or by the legatee of the Holder under the will of the Holder, for a period of one year (or such lesser period as the Committee may specify in the Award Agreement) from the date of such death, but in no event later than the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option.

A-6


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(g)   Termination by Reason of Disability .  If a Holder’s employment by the Company or any Subsidiary terminates by reason of Disability, any Stock Option held by such Holder, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement, shall thereupon automatically terminate, except that the portion of such Stock Option that is vested as of the date of termination may thereafter be exercised by the Holder for a period of one year (or such lesser period as the Committee may specify in the Award Agreement) from the date of such termination of employment, but in no event later than the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option.

(h)   Other Termination .  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement, if such Holder’s employment or retention by, or association with, the Company or any Subsidiary terminates for any reason other than death or Disability, the Stock Option shall thereupon automatically terminate, except that if the Holder’s employment is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary without cause the vested portion of the Stock Option as of the date of termination may be exercised for the lesser of 90 days after termination of employment or the balance of such Stock Option’s term.

(i)   Buyout and Settlement Provisions .  The Committee may at any time, in its sole discretion, offer to repurchase a Stock Option previously granted, based upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish and communicate to the Holder at the time that such offer is made.

5.3   Additional Incentive Stock Option Provisions .

(a)  Each Option shall be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Holder during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 5.3(a), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such shares is granted.

(b)  Each Employee who receives an Incentive Stock Option must agree to notify the Company in writing immediately after the Employee makes a Disqualifying Disposition of any Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option. A “Disqualifying Disposition” is any disposition (including any sale) of such Common Stock before the later of (a) two years after the date the Employee was granted the Incentive Stock Option, or (b) one year after the date the Employee acquired Common Stock by exercising the Incentive Stock Option. If the Employee has died before such stock is sold, these holding period requirements do not apply and no Disqualifying Disposition can occur thereafter.

Section 6.  Restricted Stock.

6.1   Grant .  Shares of Restricted Stock may be awarded either alone or in addition to other awards granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the eligible persons to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted Stock will be awarded, the number of shares to be awarded, the price (if any) to be paid by the Holder, the time or times within which such awards may be subject to forfeiture (“Restriction Period”), the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration thereof and all other terms and conditions of the awards.

6.2   Terms and Conditions .  Each Restricted Stock award shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a)   Certificates .  Restricted Stock, when issued, will be represented by a stock certificate or certificates registered in the name of the Holder to whom such Restricted Stock shall have been awarded. During the Restriction Period, certificates representing the Restricted Stock and any securities constituting Retained Distributions (as defined below) shall bear a legend to the effect that ownership of the Restricted Stock (and such Retained Distributions) and the enjoyment of all rights appurtenant thereto are subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions provided in the Plan and the Award Agreement. Such

TABLE OF CONTENTS

certificates shall be deposited by the Holder with the Company, together with stock powers or other instruments of assignment, each endorsed in blank, which will permit transfer to the Company of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock and any securities constituting Retained Distributions that shall be forfeited or that shall not become vested in accordance with the Plan and the Award Agreement.

(b)   Rights of Holder .  Restricted Stock shall constitute issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock for all corporate purposes. The Holder will have the right to vote such Restricted Stock, to receive and retain all regular cash dividends and other cash equivalent distributions as the Board may in its sole discretion designate, pay or distribute on such Restricted Stock and to exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of a holder of Common Stock with respect to such Restricted Stock, with the exceptions that (i) the Holder will not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate or certificates representing such Restricted Stock until the Restriction Period shall have expired and unless all other vesting requirements with respect thereto shall have been fulfilled; (ii) the Company will retain custody of the stock certificate or certificates representing the Restricted Stock during the Restriction Period; (iii) other than regular cash dividends and other cash equivalent distributions as the Board may in its sole discretion designate, pay or distribute, the Company will retain custody of all distributions (“Retained Distributions”) made or declared with respect to the Restricted Stock (and such Retained Distributions will be subject to the same restrictions, terms and conditions as are applicable to the Restricted Stock) until such time, if ever, as the Restricted Stock with respect to which such Retained Distributions shall have been made, paid or declared shall have become vested and with respect to which the Restriction Period shall have expired; (iv) a breach of any of the restrictions, terms or conditions contained in this Plan or the Award Agreement or otherwise established by the Committee with respect to any Restricted Stock or Retained Distributions will cause a forfeiture of such Restricted Stock and any Retained Distributions with respect thereto.

(c)   Vesting; Forfeiture .  Upon the expiration of the Restriction Period with respect to each award of Restricted Stock and the satisfaction of any other applicable restrictions, terms and conditions (i) all or part of such Restricted Stock shall become vested in accordance with the terms of the Award Agreement, subject to Section 9, below, and (ii) any Retained Distributions with respect to such Restricted Stock shall become vested to the extent that the Restricted Stock related thereto shall have become vested, subject to Section 9, below. Any such Restricted Stock and Retained Distributions that do not vest shall be forfeited to the Company and the Holder shall not thereafter have any rights with respect to such Restricted Stock and Retained Distributions that shall have been so forfeited.

Section 7.  Deferred Stock.

7.1   Grant .  Shares of Deferred Stock may be awarded either alone or in addition to other awards granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the eligible persons to whom and the time or times at which grants of Deferred Stock will be awarded, the number of shares of Deferred Stock to be awarded to any person, the duration of the period (“Deferral Period”) during which, and the conditions under which, receipt of the shares will be deferred, and all the other terms and conditions of the awards.

7.2   Terms and Conditions .  Each Deferred Stock award shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a)   Certificates .  At the expiration of the Deferral Period, share certificates shall be issued and delivered to the Holder, or his legal representative, representing the number equal to the shares covered by the Deferred Stock award.

(b)   Rights of Holder .  A person entitled to receive Deferred Stock shall not have any rights of a Stockholder by virtue of such award until the expiration of the applicable Deferral Period and the issuance and delivery of the certificates representing such Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon expiration of the Deferral Period shall not be deemed outstanding by the Company until the expiration of such Deferral Period and the issuance and delivery of such Common Stock to the Holder.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(c)   Vesting; Forfeiture .  Upon the expiration of the Deferral Period with respect to each award of Deferred Stock and the satisfaction of any other applicable restrictions, terms and conditions all or part of such Deferred Stock shall become vested in accordance with the terms of the Award Agreement, subject to Section 9, below. Any such Deferred Stock that does not vest shall be forfeited to the Company and the Holder shall not thereafter have any rights with respect to such Deferred Stock.

Section 8.  Other Stock-Based Awards.

Other Stock-Based Awards may be awarded, subject to limitations under applicable law, that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, shares of Common Stock, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, including, without limitation, purchase rights, shares of Common Stock awarded which are not subject to any restrictions or conditions, convertible or exchangeable debentures, or other rights convertible into shares of Common Stock and awards valued by reference to the value of securities of or the performance of specified Subsidiaries. Other Stock-Based Awards may be awarded either alone or in addition to or in tandem with any other awards under this Plan or any other plan of the Company. Each other Stock-Based Award shall be subject to such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee.

Section 9.  Accelerated Vesting and Exercisability.

9.1   Non-Approved Transactions .  If any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)), is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as referred in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 35% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities in one or more transactions, and the Board does not authorize or otherwise approve such acquisition, then the vesting periods of any and all Stock Options and other awards granted and outstanding under the Plan shall be accelerated and all such Stock Options and awards will immediately and entirely vest, and the respective holders thereof will have the immediate right to purchase and/or receive any and all Common Stock subject to such Stock Options and awards on the terms set forth in this Plan and the respective agreements respecting such Stock Options and awards.

9.2   Approved Transactions .  The Committee may, in the event of an acquisition of substantially all of the Company’s assets or at least 65% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities in one or more transactions (including by way of merger or reorganization) which has been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, (i) accelerate the vesting of any and all Stock Options and other awards granted and outstanding under the Plan, and (ii) require a Holder of any award granted under this Plan to relinquish such award to the Company upon the tender by the Company to Holder of cash in an amount equal to the Repurchase Value of such award.

Section 10.  Amendment and Termination.

The Board may at any time, and from time to time, amend alter, suspend or discontinue any of the provisions of the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, suspension or discontinuance shall be made that would impair the rights of a Holder under any Award Agreement theretofore entered into hereunder, without the Holder’s consent, except as set forth in this Plan.

Section 11.  Term of Plan.

11.1   Effective Date .  The Plan shall be effective as of June 7, 2011 (“Effective Date”), provided, however, that if the Plan is not approved by the Company’s stockholders within one year after the Effective Date, any Incentive Stock Options awarded under the Plan prior to the one year anniversary shall no longer be deemed Incentive Stock Options, but shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.

11.2   Termination Date .  Unless terminated by the Board, this Plan shall continue to remain effective until such time as no further awards may be granted and all awards granted under the Plan are no longer outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, grants of Incentive Stock Options may be made only during the ten year period following the Effective Date.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Section 12.  General Provisions.

12.1   Written Award Agreements .  Each award granted under the Plan shall be confirmed by, and shall be subject to the terms of, the Award Agreement executed by the Company and the Holder, or such other document as may be determined by the Committee. The Committee may terminate any award made under the Plan if the Award Agreement relating thereto is not executed and returned to the Company within 10 days after the Award Agreement has been delivered to the Holder for his or her execution.

12.2   Unfunded Status of Plan .  The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Holder by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Holder any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.

12.3   Employees .

(a)   Termination for Cause .  The Committee may, if a Holder’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated for Cause, annul any award granted under this Plan to such employee and, in such event, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may require such Holder to return to the Company the economic value of any Shares that was realized or obtained by such Holder at any time during the period beginning on the date that is six months prior to the date such Holder’s employment with the Company is terminated. In such event, Holder agrees to remit to the Company, in cash, an amount equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of termination (or the sales price of such Shares if the Shares were sold during such six month period) and the price the Holder paid the Company for such Shares.

(b)   No Right of Employment .  Nothing contained in the Plan or in any award hereunder shall be deemed to confer upon any Holder who is an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary any right to continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any Holder who is an employee at any time.

12.4   Investment Representations; Company Policy .  The Committee may require each person acquiring shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Stock Option or other award under the Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that the Holder is acquiring the shares for investment without a view to distribution thereof. Each person acquiring shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Stock Option or other award under the Plan shall be required to abide by all policies of the Company in effect at the time of such acquisition and thereafter with respect to the ownership and trading of the Company’s securities.

12.5   Additional Incentive Arrangements .  Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting such other or additional incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, the granting of Stock Options and the awarding of Common Stock and cash otherwise than under the Plan; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

12.6   Withholding Taxes .  Not later than the date as of which an amount must first be included in the gross income of the Holder for Federal income tax purposes with respect to any Stock Option or other award under the Plan, the Holder shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any Federal, state and local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld or paid with respect to such amount. If permitted by the Committee, tax withholding or payment obligations may be settled with Common Stock, including Common Stock that is part of the award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditioned upon such payment or arrangements and the Company or the Holder’s employer (if not the Company) shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Holder from the Company or any Subsidiary.

12.7   Governing Law .  The Plan and all awards made and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (without regard to choice of law provisions); provided, however, that all matters relating to or involving corporate law shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

A-10


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

12.8   Other Benefit Plans .  Any award granted under the Plan shall not be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits under any retirement plan of the Company or any Subsidiary and shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan now or subsequently in effect under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to the level of compensation (unless required by specific reference in any such other plan to awards under this Plan).

12.9   Non-Transferability .  Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or the Award Agreement, no right or benefit under the Plan may be alienated, sold, assigned, hypothecated, pledged, exchanged, transferred, encumbranced or charged, and any attempt to alienate, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge, exchange, transfer, encumber or charge the same shall be void.

12.10   Applicable Laws .  The obligations of the Company with respect to all Stock Options and awards under the Plan shall be subject to (i) all applicable laws, rules and regulations and such approvals by any governmental agencies as may be required, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), as amended, and (ii) the rules and regulations of any securities exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed.

12.11   Conflicts .  If any of the terms or provisions of any Award Agreement conflict with any terms or provisions of the Plan, then such terms or provisions shall be deemed inoperative to the extent they so conflict with the requirements of the Plan. Additionally, if any Award Agreement does not contain any provision required to be included therein under the Plan, such provision shall be deemed to be incorporated therein with the same force and effect as if such provision had been set out at length therein.

12.12   Non-Registered Stock .  The shares of Common Stock to be distributed under this Plan have not been, as of the Effective Date, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any applicable state or foreign securities laws and the Company has no obligation to any Holder to register the Common Stock or to assist the Holder in obtaining an exemption from the various registration requirements, or to list the Common Stock on a national securities exchange or any other trading or quotation system, including the Nasdaq.
