GUARANTEE SERVICE AGREEMENT

Date:

15 September 2016

• 1 -

Parties:

• (1) CECEP

• (2) HYY

CECEP is a company incorporated with limited liability in the PRC and is principally engaged in research and development of energy conservation, environmental protection and new energy technology, investments in projects and construction operation.

Key Terms:

Pursuant to the Guarantee Service Agreement, CECEP agreed to provide guarantee for the 3-year term Loan in the amount of RMB400 million granted to HYY by the Fund Company (through Huishang Bank as its lending agent) pursuant to the Loan Agreement dated 13 September 2016 entered into between the Fund Company as lender, Huishang Bank as the lending agent of the Fund Company, and HYY as borrower. The Loan is fully exempt under Rule 20.88 of the GEM Listing Rules.

HYY shall pay to CECEP the Guarantee Fee at the rate of 2% per annum on the amount of the Loan. The Guarantee Fee is payable annually on the first, second and third anniversary of the date of the Guarantee Service Agreement.

The Guarantee Fee is agreed between HYY and CECEP after arm’s length negotiations and is determined with reference to the relatively large amount of the Loan in the sum of RMB400 million, the term of the Loan of 3 years, the risk exposure of CECEP in providing the Guarantee Service and the rate of guarantee fee for obtaining similar guarantee service in the PRC market.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE GUARANTEE SERVICE AGREEMENT

The Company is an investment holding company and the Group is principally engaged in businesses for the promotion of application and its technology of utilization of shallow ground source energy as alternative energy for heating (cooling).

The Group is in need of the Loan from the Fund Company to re-financing its existing loan which is due and repayable, and the guarantee provided by CECEP is requested by the Fund Company and its lending agent Huishang Bank as a condition precedent of granting the Loan to HYY. Having considered the relatively large amount of the Loan in the sum of RMB400 million for a 3-year period and the risk exposure of CECEP in providing the Guarantee Service, the Board considers that the amount of Guarantee Fee at the rate of 2% per annum is reasonable.

• 2 -

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms and conditions of the Guarantee Service Agreement are:

• (i) fair and reasonable;

• (ii) on normal commercial terms and in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group; and

• (iii) in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

None of the Directors has any interest in the transactions contemplated under the Guarantee Service Agreement. However, as Mr. Liu Dajun, Mr. Zang Yiran, Mr. Zhao Youmin and Mr. Daiqi were nominated by CECEP as Directors, for the sake of good corporate governance as well as to avoid any potential conflict of interest, they voluntarily abstained from voting on the Board resolutions in relation to the transactions contemplated under the Guarantee Service Agreement.
