                           foregoing in no way prevents Andrus from owning stock
                           or having economic interest in other businesses or
                           enterprises. Furthermore, Andrus may serve on the
                           board of directors of other companies so long as such
                           service does not conflict with his interest in and

                           of corporate officer in any family or personal
                           investment business so long as it does not conflict
                           with his interest in and duties to the Company.

         IV.      COMPENSATION

                  a.       Base Salary. The Company shall pay Andrus a base
                           salary at the rate of One Hundred and Fifty Thousand
                           Dollars ($150,000) per year, payable twice a month on
                           the first and fifteenth days of each month while this

                           will be subjected to withholding taxes, e.g., Federal
                           Income Tax, FICA, State and/or Local Withholding
                           Taxes. Whereas such salary shall not be decreased

                           of Andrus, it shall be subject to increase by the
                           Board of Directors which shall review the salary
                           periodically, and at least annually. It is understood
                           that Company may not be able to pay this base salary
                           on a regular basis. In the event that any portion of
                           said salary is not paid as scheduled on the basis of
                           fiscal inability of the Company to pay, such event
                           shall not constitute a default. In such event, Andrus
                           may elect to defer said payment shortfall, with
                           interest thereon, simple fixed, at the rate of 10%,
                           or, on a quarterly basis (at the end of each calendar
                           quarter) take payment of any portion of said
                           shortfall in form of restricted rule 144K common
                           stock of the Company at the average price quoted over
                           the ten (10) day period immediately prior to the end
                           of said quarter.

                  b.       Salary Subject to "Take or Pay". The foregoing salary
                           of Andrus shall be subject to "take or pay"
                           provisions, whereby the Company hereby commits to pay
                           said salary (including any increases from date) for
                           the entire term of this Agreement, regardless of
                           whether his employment is terminated hereunder at any
                           earlier date, unless such termination is for cause
                           based on malfeasance, as defined in Section X (b)
                           herein below.

                  foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of
                  other rights to which Andrus may be entitled.

                  Andrus for all reasonable business expenses incurred by him in
                  the performance of his services, duties and responsibilities,
                  including, but not limited to, transportation, travel
                  expenses, board and room, entertainment, and other business
                  expenses incurred within the scope of presentation to the
                  Company by Andrus of an itemized accounting of said expenses
                  substantiated by account books, receipts, bills and other
                  documentation where applicable. If reimbursement, advances or

                  allowances are based on permitted mileage or per diem rates,
                  then Andrus shall submit specification of relevant mileage,
                  destination, dates and other supporting information required
                  for tax purposes.

         IX.      VACATION. During the term of this Agreement, Andrus shall have
                  the right to six (6) weeks of paid vacation during each year.
                  Vacation time may be taken all at once or in segments as
                  desired by Andrus, subject to reasonable notice to the Company
                  for the purpose of coordinating work schedules. Such vacation

         X.       TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

                  a.       Termination for Cause, Generally. Under this
                           Agreement, the Company shall have the right to

                           shall consist of two classes: cause involving
                           malfeasance on the part of Andrus, and causes not
                           involving malfeasance (no-fault). Upon termination,
                           all Company property and credit cards in the
                           possession and control of Andrus must be returned to
                           the Company.

                  b.       Malfeasance Termination for Cause. In the event the
                           employment of Andrus is terminated on the grounds of
                           malfeasance, then, in that event, all compensation,

                           compensation and benefits cease immediately.

                           included, but is not limited to, the following
                           conduct:

                           ii.      Continued failure and refusal to carry out
                                    the duties and responsibilities of the
                                    office under this Agreement within a
                                    reasonable time following written notice
                                    from the Board of Directors requiring the
                                    subject performance;
                           iii.     Failure to cure a material breach of this
                                    Agreement within ten (10) days after
                                    receiving written notice from the Board of
                                    Directors;
                           iv.      Failure to cease conduct unbecoming the
                                    President and CEO of the Company after
                                    receipt of written notice from the Board of
                                    Directors to cease such conduct;
                           v.       Commission of a felony.

                  c.       No-Fault Termination for Cause. At no fault of
                           Andrus, termination of employment hereunder for cause
                           can occur as the result of death, disability, sale of
                           the Company (asset or stock sale), merger or
                           consolidation, "takeover" of control and operation of
                           the business by an outside entity or group, or
                           termination of the business for any reason
                           whatsoever.

                           reasons or events described in the foregoing
                           subsection c, shall not effect Andrus' right to the

                           i.       Base salary for the entire term of this

                                    termination.
                           v.       Company benefits including, but not limited

                  e.       Sale/Take-Over Termination Bonus. In the event the
                           employment of Andrus is terminated because of the

                           merger, consolidation, or by "takeover" by any
                           outside entity or group, then, Andrus shall be

                           bonus be less than five hundred thousand dollars
                           ($500,000).

                  f.       Resignation or Withdrawal. In the event Andrus'
                           employment is terminated by his voluntary resignation

                           i.       If such resignation or withdrawal occurs

                                    Agreement, then Andrus will be entitled only
                                    to two weeks salary following notice of
                                    resignation or withdrawal. Company benefits

                           ii.      If such resignation or withdrawal occurs
                                    during the second year of the term of this
                                    Agreement, then Andrus will be entitled only
                                    to two months salary following notice of

                                    forfeited.

              g.  Death or Disability. In the event Andrus' employment is
                  terminated by death or upon medical certification of total
                  disability ("disability"), then the following will apply in
                  that respective event:

                           i.       In the event of Andrus' death, the Company

                           benefits to Andrus' survivors (to the extent
                           applicable) for a period of one year.

                           iii.     In the event of Andrus' disability, the
                                    Company shall:

                           following termination;
                                    Continue providing the medical and dental
                           benefits to Andrus for a period of two years.

         XI.      RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

                  a.       Confidential Information. Andrus covenants not to
                           disclose the following specified confidential
                           information to competitors or to others outside of
                           the scope of reasonably prudent business disclosure,
                           at any time during or after the termination of his
                           employment by the Company.

                           i.       Customer lists, contracts, and other sales
                                    and marketing information;
                           ii.      Financial information, cost data;
                           iii.     Formulas, trade secrets, processes and

                                    manufacture;
                           iv.      Supply sources, contracts;
                           v.       Business opportunities for the product or
                                    new developing business for the Company;
                           vi.      Proprietary plans, models and other
                                    proprietary information of the Company.

                  b.       Affirmative Duty to Disclose. Andrus shall promptly
                           communicate and disclose to the Company all
                           observations made, information received, and data
                           maintained relating to the business of the Company
                           obtained by him as a consequence of his employment by
                           the Company. All written material, possession during
                           his employment with the Company concerning business
                           affairs of the Company or any of its affiliates, are
                           the sole property of the Company and its affiliates,
                           and Andrus is obligated to make reasonably prompt
                           disclosures of such information and documents to the
                           Company, and, further, upon termination of this
                           Agreement, or upon request of the Company, Andrus
                           shall promptly deliver the same to the Company of its
                           affiliates, and shall not retain any copies of same.

                  c.       Covenant Not to Compete. For a period of three (3)
                           years following the termination of his employment
                           with the Company, Andrus shall not work, directly or
                           indirectly, for a competitor of the Company, nor
                           shall he himself establish a competitive business.
                           This restrictive covenant shall apply worldwide but
                           shall be limited to businesses that use diatomaceous
                           earth and/or pyrethrum in any of its products which
                           they manufacture, distribute, sell, market or
                           otherwise promote.

                  d.       Material Harm Upon Breach. The parties acknowledge
                           the unique and secret nature of the Company's
                           formulas for the composition of its DE-based products
                           and related proprietary information, and that
                           material irreparable harm occurs to the Company if
                           these restrictive covenants are breached. Further,
                           the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that
                           injunctive relief is not an exclusive remedy and that
                           an election on the part of the Company to obtain an
                           injunction does not preclude other remedies available
                           to the Company.
