                  (a) The Company has been organized for the purpose of
         providing automated real-time air monitoring equipment and services,
         (the "Business"). The Executive Committee shall have no authority to
         undertake any activity outside of the parameters of the Business
         without the unanimous support of all Members.

                  (b) In addition, the Company may engage in any act concerning
         any or all other business or activity that now or hereafter may be
         necessary, incidental, proper, advisable, or convenient to accomplish
         the foregoing purposes and that is not forbidden by the law of the
         jurisdiction in which the Company engages in that business; PROVIDED,
         HOWEVER, THAT NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING STATED HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY,
         the Company shall not engage in any activity which would cause the
         Company to be a "public utility company" or a "holding company" as such
         terms are used in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as
         amended. The Company may accomplish the purposes set forth in this
         Section 3.1 by entering into any contract, subject to the provisions of
         this Agreement, or taking any other action permitted under the Act and
         any other applicable law and necessary or convenient to the conduct,
         promotion or attainment of the business, purposes or activities of the
         Company.

                  (c) Except as provided in Sections 3.2(a)-(d), any Member may
         engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of every
         nature and description, independently or with others, and neither the
         Company nor the Members shall have any right by virtue of this
         Agreement in such other business ventures or to the income or profits
         derived therefrom.

                     (d) The Company exists only for the purposes specified in
         this Article III, and may not conduct any business other than the
         Business without the approval of an unanimous decision of the Members.
         Furthermore, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, the
         Company shall not do business in any jurisdiction that would jeopardize
         the limitation on liability afforded to Members under the LLC Law or
         this Operating Agreement.

Company each Transaction Opportunity which falls within the purpose defined
herein. Neither Member shall pursue (or permit its Affiliates or Controlled
Affiliates to pursue) such Transaction Opportunities for itself (or themselves)
except as permitted by Sections 3.2 (e), and 9.2(b).

                  (b) After a Transaction Opportunity has been offered to the
Company, the Members of the Executive Committee shall accept or reject the

                  (d) Any Transaction Opportunity which the Executive Committee
does not accept within a reasonable time (two weeks) of its presentation to the
Executive Committee will be deemed to be rejected by the Company. For purposes
of Article XIV, such rejection shall not constitute a dispute unless there is a
good faith dispute as to whether or not a rejection actually occurred.

                  (e) If Transaction Opportunity is rejected by the Company:

                           (i) the Company shall not pursue the Transaction
                           Opportunity; and

                           (ii) either Member, or both, may pursue the
                           Transaction Opportunity for its own benefit.

ongoing operating expenses or to cover losses the Company has incurred, Such
additional monetary Capital Contributions shall be payable in cash in proportion
to the Percentage Interests of the Members. Except as stated above, no Member

         (b) In the event that a Member fails to make any additional monetary

         4.4 LOANS. If any Member shall make any loan or loans to the Company or
         advance money on its behalf, the amount of any such loan or advance
         shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution of the Company but shall
         be a debt due from the Company. The amount of such loan or advance by a
         lending Member shall be repayable out of the Company's cash and shall
         bear interest at the rate agreed between the Company and the lending

in Sections 4.8 and 4.9 hereof, Profits for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated
among the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

         4.7 LOSSES.

         (a) After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in

         (b) The Losses allocated pursuant to Section 4.7(a) hereof shall not

Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal
Year. In the event some but not all of the Members would have Adjusted Capital

4.7(a) hereof, the limitation set forth in this Section 4.7(b) shall be applied
on a Member by Member basis so as to allocate the maximum permissible Losses to
each Member under Regulations Section 1.7041(b)(2)(ii)(d). All Losses in excess

Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

         4.8 SPECIAL ALLOCATIONS. The following special allocations shall be
made in the following order:

         (a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in
Regulations Section 1.7042(f), notwithstanding any other provision of this
Article IV, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any
Company Fiscal Year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company
income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal
Years) in an amount equal to such Member's share of the net decrease in Company
Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.7042(g).
Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the
respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The
items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations
Sections 1.7042(f)(6) and 1.70420)(2). This Section

                                      -12-
<PAGE>   13
4.8(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in
Regulations Section 1.7041 (f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

         (b) Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in
Regulations Section 1.7041 (i)(4), notwithstanding any other provision of this
Article IV, if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain
attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Company Fiscal Year, each
Member who has a share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable
to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations
Section 1.7042(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and
gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an
amount equal to such Member's share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse
Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in
accordance with Regulations Section 1.7042(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the
previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required
to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated
shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.7042(i)(4) and
1.70420)(2). This Section 4.8(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain
chargeback requirement in Regulations Section 1.7042(i)(4) and shall be
interpreted consistently therewith.

         (c) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year
shall be specially allocated among the Members in proportion to their Percentage
Interests.

         (d) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions
for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the
economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such
Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations
Section 1.7042(i)(1).

         (e) Code Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent an adjustment to the
adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Sections 734(b) or
743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Sections 1.7041(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or
1.7041(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts
as the result of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of its
interest in the Company, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts
shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of
the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or
loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with their
Percentage Interests in the Company in the event Regulations Section
1.7041(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Members to whom such distribution was
made in the event Regulations Section 1.7041(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

         (f) Allocations Relating to Taxable Issuance of Percentage Interests.
Any income, gain, loss or deduction realized as a direct or indirect result of
the issuance of an interest in the Company to a Member (the "Issuance Items")
shall be allocated among the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net
amount of such Issuance Items, together with all other allocations under this
Operating Agreement to each Member, shall be equal to the net amount that would
have been allocated to each such Member if the Issuance Items had not been
realized.

                                      -13-
<PAGE>   14
         (g) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly
receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Regulations
Sections 1.7041(b)(2)(ii)(d) (4), 1.704(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or
1.7041(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Company income and gain shall be specially
allocated to each such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate,
to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit
of such Member as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to
this Section 4.8(g) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member
would have an adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations
provided for in this Section 4.8 have been tentatively made as if this Section
4.8(g) were not included in this Operating Agreement.

         4.9 CURATIVE ALLOCATIONS. The allocations set forth in Sections 4.8(a),
4.8(b), 4.8(c), 4.8(d), 4.8(e) and 4.8(g) hereof (the "Regulatory Allocations")
are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the
intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations
shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special
allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant
to this Section 4.9. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Article IV (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Executive Committee
shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss or
deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such
offsetting allocations are made, each Member's Capital Account balance is, to
the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have
had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Operating Agreement and
all Company items were allocated pursuant to Sections 4.6 and 4.7 hereof. In
exercising its discretion under this Section 4.9, the Executive Committee shall
take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Sections 4.8(a) and 4.8(b)
that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations
previously made under Sections 4.8(c) and 4.8(d).

         4.10 OTHER ALLOCATION RULES.

         (a) The Members are aware of the income tax consequences of the
allocations made by this Article IV and hereby agree to be bound by the
provisions of this Article IV in reporting their shares of Company income and
loss for income tax purposes.

         (b) For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses, or any other items
allocable to any period, Profits, Losses, and any such other items shall be
determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the Executive
Committee using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the
Regulations thereunder.

         (c) Solely for purposes of determining a Member's proportionate share
of the "excess nonrecourse liabilities" of the Company, within the meaning of
Regulations Section 1.7523(a) (3), the Members' interests in Company profits are
in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

         (d) To the extent permitted by Regulations Section 1.7042(h)(3), the
Executive Committee shall endeavor not to treat distributions of Net Cash from
Operations as having been made from the proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability or a
Member Nonrecourse Debt.

         4.11 TAX ALLOCATIONS: CODE SECTION 704(C). In accordance with Code
Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction
with respect to any Property contributed to the capital of the Company shall,
solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of
any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for
federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value (computed in
accordance with Section 1.18 hereof).

         In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted
pursuant to Section 1.18 hereof, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss,
and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation
between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its
Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the
Regulations thereunder.

         Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be
made by the Executive Committee in any manner that reasonably reflects the
purpose and intention of this Operating Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this
Section 4.11 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and
shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member's
Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions
pursuant to any provisions of this Operating Agreement.

         4.12 TAX CHARACTERIZATION AND RETURNS.

         (a) The Members acknowledge that the Company will be treated as a
"partnership" for federal and State of Delaware state tax purposes. All
provisions of this Operating Agreement and the Company's Articles of
Organization are to be construed so as to preserve that tax status.

         (b) In accordance with Section 10.03, within ninety (90) days after the
end of each Fiscal Year, the Executive Committee will cause to be delivered to
each person who was a Member at any time during such Fiscal Year a Form K-1 and
such other information, if any, with respect to the Company as may be necessary
for the preparation of each Members federal or state income tax (or information)
returns, including a statement showing each Member's share of income, gain or
loss, and credits for the Fiscal Year.

         4.13 TAX ELECTIONS. The Executive Committee may make any tax elections
for the Company allowed under the Code or the tax laws of any state or other
jurisdiction having taxing jurisdiction over the Company, including the election
referred to in Code Section 754 to adjust the basis of Company assets.

         4.14 TAXES OF TAXING JURISDICTIONS. To the extent that the laws of any
Taxing Jurisdiction require, each Member (or such Members as maybe required by
the Taxing Jurisdiction) will submit an agreement indicating that the Member
will make timely income tax payments to the Taxing Jurisdiction and that the
Member accepts personal jurisdiction of the Taxing Jurisdiction with regard to
the collection of income taxes attributable to the Member's income, and
interest, and penalties assessed on such income. If the Member fails to provide
such agreement, the Company may withhold and pay over to such Taxing
Jurisdiction the amount of

                                      -15-
<PAGE>   16
tax, penalty and interest determined under the laws of the Taxing Jurisdiction
with respect to such income.

         The Tax Partner on behalf of the Executive Committee, where permitted
by the rules of any Taxing Jurisdiction, may file a composite, combined or
aggregate tax return reflecting the income of the Company and pay the tax,
interest and penalties of some or all of the Members on such income to the
Taxing Jurisdiction, in which case the Company shall inform the Members of the
amount of such tax interest and penalties so paid.

         4.15 TAX MATTERS PARTNER. SJE is initially designated as the "tax
matters partner" of the Company pursuant to Code Section 321 (a)(7). The Members
may, by vote of a majority of the Members, designate any Member as tax matters
partner. Any Member designated as tax matters partner shall take such action as
may be necessary to cause each other Member to become a "notice partner" within

                           (ii) the existence or nonexistence of any fact or
                  facts which constitute a condition precedent to acts by the

         (b) Except as otherwise required by law, the signature of any member of
the Executive Committee shall be sufficient to constitute execution of a
document, on behalf of the Company, which has been properly authorized by action
of the Executive Committee. Notwithstanding Article XIII, the Members agree that
a copy of this Agreement may be shown to appropriate parties in order to confirm
the same. Any member of the Executive Committee shall have the power and
authority to execute on behalf of the Company, the Executive Committee, or the
Members any document to be filed with the Secretary of the State of Delaware
pursuant to the Act.

         5.5 DESIGNATION OF OFFICER TITLES. The Members may provide officer

                  (a) Quorum and Voting. Three of the four members of the
         Executive Committee shall constitute a quorum for the conducting of

         Committee. Each member of the Executive Committee shall have one vote
         on each matter.

                                      -19-

                  (b) Chairman. One of the members of the Executive Committee
         shall serve as the Chairman of the Executive Committee for a term of

         of the Executive Committee shall be a representative of GZA. The
         Chairman shall vote solely in his capacity as a member of the Executive
         Committee.

                  (c) Meetings. Regular meetings of the Executive Committee
         shall be held as determined by the Chairman of the Executive Committee,
         but at least quarterly. Members of the Executive Committee may
         participate in a meeting of the Executive Committee by a means of a
         conference telephone or similar communications equipment whereby all
         persons participating in the meeting can hear each other and be heard
         sufficiently to permit contemporaneous exchange and debate.
         Participation in a meeting in this manner shall constitute presence in
         person at the meeting.

                  (d) Notice, Waiver, and Minutes. All members of the Executive
         Committee shall receive a notice of each regular meeting of the
         Executive Committee together with a copy of the proposed agenda for
         such meeting at least five days prior to a scheduled regular meeting
         date. The Chairman or any two members of the Executive Committee may,
         upon two day's notice (such notice to include a proposed agenda) to the
         other members of the Executive Committee, call a special meeting of the
         Executive Committee at any time. Attendance at any meeting of the
         Executive Committee (either in person or by means of conference
         telephone or similar communications equipment) shall constitute waiver
         of notice thereof. The Executive Committee shall cause minutes of its
         meetings to be kept which shall be open for inspection by any Member at
         any time.

                  (e) Alternate Representatives. Each member of the Executive
         Committee shall be entitled to appoint (and to change) an alternate
         representative to attend meetings of the Executive Committee in such
         member's place. A member of the Executive Committee may appoint as an
         alternate, only a representative of the same Member. An alternate may
         not be a member of the Executive Committee in his own right. Alternate
         representatives shall be appointed or changed by the appointer serving
         notice to the effect upon SJE and GZA. An alternate representative
         shall not be entitled to vote in his capacity as such at any meeting at
         which his appointer is present.

                  (f) Action Without Meeting. Any action which may be taken by
         the Executive Committee at a meeting thereof may be taken without a
         meeting by the unanimous written consent of all members of the
         Executive Committee.

statement.

         6.4 MEMBERS ACTING AS AGENT. With the prior, specific, written
authorization of the Executive Committee in each case, a Member may from time to
time in its own name but as agent for and on behalf of the Company enter into
transactions for the acquisition or disposition of Assets. Any Member which acts
as an agent of the Company pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall have the benefit
of the guarantee set forth in Section 7.3.

ARTICLE VII LIABILITIES, LIMITATION OF LIABILITIES AND INDEMNIFICATION.

         7.1 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY of Members, and Executive Committee members

         required to devote full time to Company business;

                  (b) except as expressly otherwise provided herein to the

         Committee member;

                  (c) in no event shall any doctrine or duty similar to the duty
         of loyalty owed by corporate directors be owed by any Member or
         Executive Committee member;

                  (d) except as expressly otherwise provided herein to the
         contrary, each Member and Executive Committee member shall be free to
         conduct any business or activity whatsoever, without obligation to the
         Company or any other Member.

                  (e) except as otherwise provided by the LLC Law, the debts,
         obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in
         contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and
         liabilities of the Company, and no Covered Person shall be obligated
         personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company
         solely by reason of being a Covered Person.

                                      -21-
<PAGE>   22
                   (f) except as otherwise required by law, a Member, in its
         capacity as Member, shall have no liability in excess of (i) the amount
         of its Capital Contributions, (ii) its share of any assets and
         undistributed Profits of the Company, (iii) its obligation to make
         other payments expressly provided for in this Operating Agreement, and
         (iv) the amount of any distributions wrongfully distributed to it.

         7.2 ACTIONS BEYOND SCOPE OF AGREEMENT. Any Member who binds or
obligates the Company for any debt or liability or causes the Company to act
except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be liable to
the Company for any such debt, liability or act.

         7.3 INDEMNIFICATION.

         (a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, a Member (herein the
"Indemnifying Member") shall INDEMNIFY and DEFEND the Company and the other
Member and HOLD them HARMLESS from and against all claims, losses, costs,
liabilities, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, costs of suit
or proceeding and attorneys' fees) they may incur by virtue of claims by third
parties arising out of any action of the Indemnifying Member that could obligate
or bind the Company for any debt, liability or act except as such may be
incurred in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. For the avoidance
of doubt, the Members agree that the indemnification provided in the immediately
preceding sentence applies only to claims by third parties.

         (b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a Covered Person
shall be entitled to indemnification from the Company for any loss, damage or
claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of any act or omission performed
or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in
a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of authority conferred on
such Covered Person by this Operating Agreement, except that no Covered Person
shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim
incurred by such Covered Person by reason of gross negligence or willful
misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions or if a judgment or other
final adjudication adverse to such Covered Person establishes that the Covered
Person's acts or omissions were in bad faith or involved intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law or that the Covered Person personally gained in
fact a financial profit or other advantage to which the Covered Person is not
entitled; provided, however, that any indemnity pursuant to this Section shall
be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and no Covered
Person shall have any personal liability on account thereof.

         (c) The Company may purchase and maintain insurance, to the extent and
in such amounts as the Executive Committee shall, in its sole discretion, deem
reasonable, on behalf of such of the Covered Persons and other Persons as the
Executive Committee shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted
against or expenses that may be incurred by any such Person in connection with
the activities of the Company or such indemnities, regardless of whether the
Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability
under the provisions of this Operating Agreement. The Company may, with the
approval of the Executive Committee, enter into indemnity contracts with Covered
Persons and adopt written

                                      -22-
<PAGE>   23
procedures pursuant to which arrangements are made for the advancement of
expenses and the funding of obligations under Section 7.3 hereof and containing
such other procedures regarding indemnification as are appropriate.

         (d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses
(including legal fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any claim,
demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the
Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action suit or
proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the
Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Covered
Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in Section 7.3 hereof.

ARTICLE VIII NO TRANSFER OF INTERESTS.

         Except pursuant to a corporate reorganization of one of the Members, no
Member shall transfer, encumber, mortgage, pledge, or create a security interest
in all or any part of its Percentage Interest in the Company unless approved by

         9.2 EFFECT OF DISSOLUTION.

         (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Dissolution set forth in Section
9.1, the Executive Committee shall commence dissolution of the Company which
shall continue solely for the purpose of winding up its affairs in an orderly
manner, disposing of its Assets in a commercially reasonable manner consistent
with obtaining the fair market value thereof, and satisfying the claims of its
creditors and Members.

         (b) After the occurrence of an Event of Dissolution, the obligations of
each Member to offer Transaction Opportunities to the Company shall be
terminated. The Executive Committee shall cause the Company's Assets, with the
exception of the intellectual property rights to the real-time automated air
monitoring system for which a patent is pending as identified in Section 3.4, to
be disposed of as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair market value
thereof (or limiting loss incurred with respect thereto). The intellectual
property rights of the real-time automated air monitoring system shall first be
offered to the Members at a price which is mutually agreeable to all the
Members. If none of the Members is interested in purchasing the intellectual
property rights to the aforementioned system, then those rights shall be
disposed of as is consistent with obtaining the fair market value thereof.

         (c) The Executive Committee shall be responsible for overseeing the
winding up and dissolution of the Company, shall take full account of the
Company's liabilities

                                      -24-

and property, and shall cause the proceeds from the liquidation of the Company's
property, to the extent sufficient therefore, to be applied and distributed in
the following order:

                           (i) first, to the payment and discharge of all the
                  Company's debts and liabilities to creditors other than
                  Members or their Affiliates;

                           (ii) second, to the payment and discharge of all of
                  the Company's debts and liabilities to Members and their
                  Affiliates; and

                           (iii) third, to the Members pro rata in accordance
                  with their positive capital account balances, after giving
                  effect to all contributions, distributions, and allocations
                  for all periods.

No Member shall receive any additional compensation for any services performed
pursuant to this Section 9.2. Each Member understands and agrees that by
accepting the provisions of this Section 9.2 setting forth the priority of the
distribution of the assets of the Company to be made upon its liquidation, such
Member expressly waives any right which it, as a creditor of the Company, might
otherwise have under the Act to receive distributions of assets of the Company
in satisfaction of any liability of the Company, and hereby subordinates to said
creditors any such right.

         (d) after an Event of Dissolution, no Member or member of the Executive
Committee shall take any action that is inconsistent with, or not appropriate
for, winding up the Company's business and affairs.

         (e) To the extent not inconsistent with the foregoing, all covenants
and obligations in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until
such time as the Company Assets have been disposed of or distributed and the
Company's risk management contracts satisfied or terminated. When that has
occurred, the Members shall have no further obligations under this Agreement
except under Sections 13.2, 13.3 and 13.4, which shall survive dissolution and
winding up of the Company.

         9.3 FILING OF ARTICLES OF CANCELLATION. Upon the completion of the
disposition of the Assets pursuant to Section 9.2, the Executive Committee shall
(or, on the failure of the Executive Committee to act, either Member may)
promptly file a Certificate of Cancellation with the office of the Delaware
Secretary of State.

         9.4 RESERVE. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.2, the
Executive Committee may retain such funds as it deems necessary as a reserve for
any contingent liabilities or obligations of the Company, which reserve, after
the passage of a reasonable period of time, shall be distributed pursuant to
Section 9.2(c).

binding arbitration. The Members shall each appoint one arbitrator, and the two
arbitrators so appointed will select a third arbitrator, all of such arbitrators
to be qualified by education, knowledge, and experience to resolve the
difference or dispute.

jurisdiction of the arbitrators will be limited to the issue(s) referred to

arbitrator or of the hearing, if one is held, the arbitrators shall notify the
Members in writing as to which position of the two Members on each issue is most
consistent with the applicable provision(s) of this Agreement, if any, which are
relevant to the dispute. Such decision shall be binding on the Members hereto

the contrary contained in Sections 14.1 through 14.5, in the event interim
judicial relief (including, without limitation, that referred to in Section
13.4) is necessary prior to rendition of any arbitral award in order to avoid
irreparable injury to either Member, then such Member may seek interim measures
of protection, including without limitation orders of injunction, specific
performance or other equitable relief, from any court of competent jurisdiction.
The provisions of this Section 14.6 shall not be deemed to preclude the awards.

                           SUPPORT SERVICES AGREEMENT

         This Agreement is made as of April 1, 2000 by and between SOUTH JERSEY
ENERGY COMPANY, a New Jersey corporation with its principal place of business at
One South Jersey Plaza, Route 54, Folsom, NJ 08037 ("SJE"), and AIRLOGICS,
L.L.C., a Delaware Limited Liability Company with its principal place of
business at 1 South Jersey Plaza, Folsom, NJ 08037 ("AIRLOGIC").

         WHEREAS, SJE is willing to provide support services to AIRLOGICS; and

         WHEREAS, AIRLOGICS requires support services and desires to use and
purchase such services from SJE; and

         NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

                      ARTICLE I - GENERAL SCOPE OF SERVICES

           1. SJE shall provide, as needed, support services to AIRLOGICS,
enumerated in Exhibit A, attached hereto and made a part hereof, subject to the
applicable provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that SJE and
AIRLOGICS shall not be responsible for policy or management decisions of the
other, such functions being reserved exclusively for each party to this
Agreement, respectively.

           2. SJE shall provide support services using personnel from within its
own organization. In addition, SJE may use persons from outside its organization
with the other party's approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

                        ARTICLE II - PAYMENT FOR SERVICES

           1. All of the support services rendered under this Agreement shall be
charged to the other in accordance with the fee schedule identified in Exhibit
B. Support services that benefit both SJE and AIRLOGICS shall be fairly and
equitably allocated between the parties. The methods of determining the costs
and the allocation may be modified or changed by either party with the prior
written approval of the other party. If either party objects, in writing, to the
proposed changes or modifications, the parties agree to make a good faith effort
to renegotiate the terms and conditions of Exhibit B. If no agreement can be
reached within sixty (60) days of the proposal to modify Exhibit B, the proposed
modifications will not take effect and either party may terminate this Agreement
as provided herein.

           2. SJE shall submit itemized invoices for services rendered,
including, when requested or required by AIRLOGICS, all sales, use, excise, or
similar taxes that may be applicable to such services, as soon as practicable
after the close of each month. All invoices submitted by SJE shall have adequate
documentation to justify all labor and material costs. AIRLOGICS shall pay such
invoice within thirty days after receipt, to the extent the costs are not
disputed. Such disputes must be raised within eighteen (18) months after receipt
of the invoice with the disputed




                                      -34-

plus 1.5%, shall accrue on any undisputed invoice items not paid within thirty
days after receipt by the other, interest computed from the 31st day following
the date of receipt.

           3. Upon the written request of AIRLOGICS, SJE shall permit AIRLOGICS
reasonable access to its books and records for the purpose of auditing charges
billed by SJE.

                         ARTICLE III - TERM OF CONTRACT

           This Agreement shall commence on the date first written above and

written notice to the other.

GEOENVIRONMENTAL INC., a Massachusetts corporation with its principal place of
business at 320 Needham St., Newton Upper Falls MA 02464 ("GZA"), and AIRLOGICS,
L.L.C., a Delaware Limited Liability Company with its principal place of
business 1 South Jersey Plaza, Folsom, New Jersey 08037 ("AIRLOGIC").

         WHEREAS, GZA is willing to provide support services to AIRLOGICS; and

         WHEREAS, AIRLOGICS requires support services and desires to use and
purchase such services from GZA; and

         NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

           1. GZA shall provide, as needed, support services to AIRLOGICS,
enumerated in Exhibit A, attached hereto and made a part hereof, subject to the
applicable provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that GZA and
AIRLOGICS shall not be responsible for policy or management decisions of the
other, such functions being reserved exclusively for each party to this
Agreement, respectively.

           2. GZA shall provide support services using personnel from within its
own organization. In addition, GZA may use persons from outside its organization
with the other party's approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

                        ARTICLE II - PAYMENT FOR SERVICES

           1. All of the support services rendered under this Agreement shall be
charged to the other in accordance with schedule in Exhibit B. Support services
that benefit both GZA and AIRLOGICS shall be fairly and equitably allocated
between the parties. The methods for determining fees for support services may
be modified or changed by either party with the prior written approval of the
other party. If either party objects, in writing, to the proposed changes or
modifications, the parties agree to make a good faith effort to renegotiate the
terms and conditions of Exhibit B. If no agreement can be reached within sixty
(60) days of the proposal to modify Exhibit B, the proposed modifications will
not take effect and either party may terminate this Agreement as provided
herein.

           2. GZA shall submit itemized invoices for services rendered,
including, when requested or required by AIRLOGICS, all sales, use, excise, or
similar taxes that may be applicable to such services, as soon as practicable
after the close of each month. All invoices submitted by GZA shall have adequate
documentation, where applicable, to justify all labor and material costs.
AIRLOGICS shall pay such invoice within thirty days after receipt, to the extent
the costs are not

disputed. Such disputes must be raised within eighteen (18) months after receipt
of the invoice with the disputed cost. Simple annual interest at the prime rate
then in effect at Bank Boston, plus 1.5%, shall accrue on any undisputed invoice
items not paid within thirty days after receipt by the other, interest computed
from the 31st day following the date of receipt.

           3. Upon the written request of AIRLOGICS, GZA shall permit AIRLOGICS
reasonable access to its books and records for the purpose of auditing charges
billed by GZA.

                         ARTICLE III - TERM OF CONTRACT

              This Agreement shall commence on the date first written above and

written notice to the other.

of the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding unless in writing and
signed by a duly authorized representative of both parties.

                             ARTICLE V - ASSIGNMENT

              Neither GZA nor AIRLOGICS may assign any of its rights or
obligations hereunder, except with the prior written consent of the other;
provided, however, GZA shall be entitled to use affiliates, as its agent, to
provide services hereunder.
