key member of the consulting staff of the Company; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the usual priorities and covenants hereto
contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which I hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound
hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows;

     SECTION 1. Cooperation. WW and Solucorp will cooperate to develop MBS(R)
     sales and new technologies/products that will require agreement and support
     from Solucorp's management.

     (c) Term - Solucorp will agree to provide a 12 month consultancy agreement
     with an annual renewal option subject to Solucorp's approval and with 60
     days notice to WW;

     (d) Retainer - Solucorp will provide WW with a retainer of $36,000, for the
     term of the agreement which is to be paid $3,000 per month commencing
     October 1, 1997. However, should the value of services performed exceed the
     $3,000 paid for a particular month, the excess will be paid in the month
     following their incurrance. On the other hand, if the payments during the
     term of the agreement, equal or exceed the annual retainer, additional
     payments in subsequent months would only be made if additional services are
     performed over the annual retainer. These payments would be made in the
     month following the month that the services are performed.

     (e) Consulting Fees - Solucorp will apply the following fee structure which
     will accrue against the monthly retainer:

               Technology Development
               ----------------------

                       William Webster                 $100.00/hour

               ------------------

                       William Webster                 $120.00/hour

     WW will prepare a detailed accounting of services provided on a monthly
     basis. Any amounts due for services in excess of the retainer, together
     with any approved expenses will be invoiced by WW at that time. Payment is
     due within 30 days of invoice date (see Exhibit A).

     (f) Performance Incentive Plan - Subject to the performance by WW and, at
     the sole discretion of Solucorp's management and the Board of Directors of
     Solucorp, WW may be eligible for options based upon performance. The
     performance options are subject to all regulatory approvals.

     THE criteria which will be used to determine WW eligibility for any bonuses
     or options shall be the following:

          successful both on projects found by Solucorp and ones initiated by
          WW.

          b) Identification, evaluation, development and commercialization of
          new technologies, products for the hazardous waste market which will

          for being a Consultant of the Corporation with its attendant duties.


<PAGE>


          d) It is the clear intent of this agreement with WW, that his ability
          to receive substantial compensation over and above his retainer fee,
          will be mainly dependent on his ability in the new products sector and
          subject to the executed Finder's agreement.

     SECTION 4. Confidentiality and Other Matters.

          (a) The parties acknowledge that in order to further the purposes of
          this Agreement, information containing or consisting of trade secrets,
          customer lists and other confidential information may be communicated
          by Solucorp to WW. Such information may take the form of plans,
          drawings and data and will be deemed confidential unless otherwise
          designated by Solucorp or otherwise available to the public. During
          the Term and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, Solucorp
          shall have the right to apply and obtain from any state court located
          in New York a restraining order to prevent WW from disclosing such
          confidential information to third parries unless such disclosure is
          required by law or a court or other legal authority.

          (b) WW hereby agrees that during the Term of this Agreement he will
          refer prospects to Solucorp with up to $4,999,999.00 revenue potential
          per project, which prospects appear in WW's sole judgment to be
          prospects for which Solucorp can provide the best stabilization
          technology. Larger projects are referred by WW to Kvaerner Metals
          under an existing agreement.

          (c) WW will remain free to work with others in stabilization projects
          where the revenue potential exceeds $4,999,999.00 or the waste is
          other than metal-contaminated soil intended for off-site disposal
          after treatment giving Solucorp "First Right of Refusal" on such
          projects.

     SECTION 5. Discrepancies,

          (a) Should any provisions of this Agreement be determined to be
          unenforceable or prohibited by any applicable law, this Agreement
          shall be considered divisible as to such provision, which shall be
          inoperative and the remainder of this Agreement shall be valid and
          binding as though such provisions were not included herein.

          (b) If any part of this Agreement should be disputed in a court of
          law, the parties agree that the proper venue will be the Superior
          Court of New York in Rockland County.

     SECTION 6. Term. The term of this agreement will be for twelve (12) months
from the date first entered on page 1. Either party can cancel the Agreement
upon 30 days notice upon mutual agreement or upon review and acceptance of cause

                                    EXHIBIT A
                            CLARIFICATION OF RETAINER

EXAMPLE 1.

     WW incurs $8,000.00 of services in month one (1), $1,000.00 of services in
     month's 2-11, but does no work in month 12, for a total of $15,000.00 of
     services rendered. Solucorp would pay WW $1,000.00 on the 1st of month one
     (1) plus $1,000.00 on the 1st of month two (2). Sometime in month two (2)
     the additional $7,000.00 earned would be paid. In months 3-11 on the 1st of
     each month Solucorp would pay WW $1,000,00. On the 1st of the 12th month a
     payment of $1,000 00 is made, but WW would have to refund this $1,000.00 or
     carry it forward as a credit if the contract is renewed since it is $1,000
     more than $18,000.00 earned.

EXAMPLE 2.

     WW does not perform any services in months 1 & 2, incurs $10,000.00 of
     services in month 3, does no services in month 4-12, Solucorp would pay WW
     $1,000.00 on the 1st of month 1, 2, & 3, and an additional $7,000.00
     sometime in month 3. On the 1st of months 4 & 5 Solucorp would pay WW
     $1,000.00. At this point WW would have been paid $12,000.00 for only
     $10,000.00 of services. Accordingly, no further payments would be made.
     However, if the contract is renewed, Solucorp would have a credit of
     $2,000.00 carried forward.

EXAMPLE 3.

     WW does not perform services in months 1-11, but incurs $7,000.00 of
     services in month 12, SOLUCORP would pay WW $1,000.00 on the 1st of months
     1-12 for a total of $12,000.00, and make no further payments. Since less
     than $12,000,00 was earned WW would still be allowed to keep the $12,000.00
     paid. However, if the contract is renewed, Solucorp would have a carry
     forward credit of $5,000.00
