each of the purchasers from time to time party to the Purchase Agreement

terms in the Purchase Agreement referred to below.

       

      WHEREAS, the Obligors and the
Purchasers are parties to that certain Master Note Purchase Agreement, dated as
of July 15, 2008 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Purchase
Agreement”);

       

      WHEREAS, pursuant to that
certain Stock Purchase Agreement by and among the Company, on the one hand, and
Sanipac, Inc., an Oregon corporation (“Sanipac”), and The

Sanipac (the “Sanipac
Agreement”);

       

      WHEREAS, Sanipac owns
approximately seventy-five percent (75%) of EcoSort, L.L.C., an Oregon limited
liability company (“EcoSort”);
and

       

      WHEREAS, the Obligors and the
Required Holders pursuant to Section 17.1(a) of the Purchase Agreement desire to
amend the definition of “Excluded Subsidiaries” in the Purchase Agreement by
amending Schedule 5.4 of the Purchase Agreement to add EcoSort as an additional
Excluded Subsidiary effective as of the closing of the transactions in the
Sanipac Agreement;

       

      NOW THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual agreements contained in the Purchase Agreement and

sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows:

to which such Obligor is subject or such Obligor’s constitutive documents or of
any agreement or other instrument binding upon such Obligor.

       

      (b) Each of this Amendment and the Purchase

Series 2008A Note, or (ii) operate as a waiver or otherwise prejudice any right,
power or remedy that the Purchasers may now have or may have in the future under

as specifically set forth herein.

       

      (c) This Amendment may be executed in any
number of counterparts, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but
