capacity  of President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and shall have
such  other  duties,  responsibilities and authorities as are assigned to him by

Agreement  may  be terminated with Cause (as hereinafter defined) by the Company

expiration  of  this  Employment  Agreement  or  the  expiration  of  any annual
extension  thereof  in effect as of the Termination Date.  This Section 10 shall
not  be  interpreted  so  as  to  limit  any  benefits  to  which Employee, as a
terminated  employee  of  the  Company,  or his family may be entitled under the
Company's life insurance, medical, hospitalization or disability plans following
the  Termination  Date  or  under  applicable  law.

          Section  11.     Definitions.  In  addition  to  the  words  and terms
                           -----------
elsewhere  defined  in  this Employment Agreement, certain capitalized words and
terms used in this Employment Agreement shall have the meanings given to them by
the  definitions  and  descriptions in this Section 11 unless the context or use
indicates  another  or different meaning or intent, and such definition shall be
equally  applicable  to  both  the  singular  and  plural  forms  of  any of the
capitalized  words  and terms herein defined.  The following words and terms are
defined  terms  under  this  Employment  Agreement:

               11.01     "Disability"  shall  mean  a physical or mental illness
which,  in  the  judgment  of  the  Company after consultation with the licensed
physician  attending  Employee,  impairs  Employee's  ability  to  substantially
perform  his  duties  under  this  Employment  Agreement  as an employee with or
without  reasonable  accommodation  and  as a result of which he shall have been
absent  from  his  duties  with  the  Company on a full-time basis for three (3)
consecutive  months.

               11.02     A  termination with "Cause" shall mean a termination of
this  Employment  Agreement  by  reason of (a) a good faith determination by the
Board  that  Employee  (i)  failed  to substantially perform his duties with the
Company  (other  than a failure resulting from his incapacity due to physical or
mental  illness)  after  a  written  demand for substantial performance has been
delivered  to  him by the Board, which demand specifically identifies the manner
in  which  the  Board believes he has not substantially performed his duties and
Employee  has  failed  to substantially perform as requested within a reasonable
time,  (ii)  has  engaged  in  conduct  the consequences of which are materially
adverse to the Company, monetarily or otherwise, (iii) is found guilty of fraud,
dishonesty  or  other acts of gross misconduct or misfeasance in the performance
of  his  duties  under  this  Employment  Agreement  by  a  court  of  competent
jurisdiction  whose  decision  is  final and non-appealable, (iv) is found to be
under the influence of illegal drugs or other similar substance while performing
his  duties  under this Employment Agreement or (v) is convicted of a felony, or
(b)  the  Company  makes  an  assignment  for  the benefit of creditors, files a
voluntary  petition  in bankruptcy, is involuntarily adjudicated to bankrupt, is
liquidated  or  dissolved  or sells substantially all of its assets.  No act, or
failure  to  act, on Employee's part shall be grounds for termination with Cause
unless  he has acted or failed to act with an absence of good faith or without a
reasonable  belief  that  his  action  or  failure to act was in or at least not
opposed  to  the  best interests of the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Employee  shall  not  be  deemed to have been terminated with Cause unless there
shall  have  been  delivered  to  him a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the
affirmative  vote  of  not  less than a majority of the entire membership of the
Board  (exclusive of Employee) at a meeting of the Board called at least in part
for  that  purpose finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board, Employee
failed  to perform his duties or engaged in conduct in the manner or of the type

particulars  thereof  in  detail.

                         -----------------------
mean a written notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in
this  Employment  Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail
the  facts  and  circumstances  claimed  to  provide  a basis for termination of
Employee's  employment  under  the provision so indicated; provided, however, no
                                                           --------  -------
such  purported  termination  shall  be  effective  without  such  Notice  of
Termination; provided further, however, any purported termination by the Company
             ----------------  -------
or  by  Employee  shall  be communicated by a Notice of Termination to the other
party  hereto  in  accordance  with  Section  3  of  this  Employment Agreement.

fees and related expenses (including the costs of experts, evidence and counsel)
incurred  by  Employee  as  a  result  of  a  contest or dispute over Employee's
termination  of  employment if such contest or dispute is resolved in Employee's
favor.

          Section  13.     Indemnification.  Consistent  with  the Bylaws of the

not,  during  the  Employment  Period,  (i) directly or indirectly engage in any
Business Activities that do not involve the Company that relate to the treatment
of  biosolids,  whether  such  engagement  shall  be  as  an  employer, officer,
director,  owner,  employee,  consultant,  stockholder,  partner  or  other
participant,  (ii)  assist  others in engaging in any Business Activities in the
manner  described  in the foregoing clause (i), or (iii) induce employees of the
Company to terminate their employment with the Company or engage in any Business
Activities  in  the  world.

          Section  21.     Customer  Exception.  The Company agrees that (1) the
                           -------------------
ownership  of  the  outstanding  capital stock of a corporation whose shares are
traded  on a national securities exchange or on the over-the-counter market, (2)
continuation  of  present duties with Tri-State Garden Supply d/b/a Gardenscape,
its  related  and/or  similar  entities  and/or  ventures,  and/or (3) any other
company/venture  disclosed  to  the Audit Committee of the Board and/or the full
Board  in  which Employee has an interest that is a customer of the Company (ex.
purchases  product  and/or  pays  royalties) shall not be deemed engaging in any
Business  Activities  subject  to  the provisions of Section 20.  The purpose of
this  Section 21 is to recognize that Employee through his duties with Tri-State
Garden  Supply  d/b/a  Gardenscape  has been and may continue to be an important
customer  of  the  Company,  as  well as the Employee's desire personally and on
behalf of Tri-State Garden Supply d/b/a Gardenscape to invest in the creation of
markets  and  opportunities for the purchase/licensing of the Company's products
and/or processes for the benefit the Company.  These activities will, subject to
advance  disclosure to and approval by the Company's Board, involve the Company,
Tri-State  Garden  Supply  d/b/a  Gardenscape  (or an affiliate), and/or another
company(ies)  in  which  Employee  has  or  could  have  an  interest  as  a
customer/licensee  of  the Company to open up new markets for the sale/licensing
of  the  Company's  products/processes.

          Section  22.     Remedies.  The  parties  hereto acknowledge and agree
                           --------
that  the  a remedy at law for a breach or a threatened breach of the provisions
herein  would  be inadequate, and in recognition of this fact, in the event of a
breach  or  threatened  breach  of  any  of  the  provisions  of this Employment
Agreement,  it  is agreed that the parties shall be entitled to equitable relief
in  the form of specific performance, a temporary restraining order, a temporary
or  permanent  injunction  or  any  other  equitable  remedy  which  may then be
available,  without  posting bond or other security.  No remedy herein conferred
is  intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every such remedy
shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy given hereunder
now  or  hereinafter  existing  at  law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.

          Section  23.     Successive  Employment  Notice.  Within  five  (5)

If  such employment is not known by Employee at such date, Employee shall notify
the  Company immediately upon determination of such information.  Employee shall

business  and/or  assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform
this  Employment  Agreement  in  the same manner and to the same extent that the
Company  would be required to perform it if no such succession or assignment had
taken  place.  As  used  in  this Employment Agreement, "Company" shall mean the
Company  as  hereinbefore  defined  and  any successor or assign to its business
and/or  assets  as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Employment
Agreement  or  which  is  otherwise  obligated under this Agreement by the first

either  party  hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or

performed  by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar
provisions  or  conditions  at  the  same  or  at  any prior or subsequent time.

          Section  27.     Headings.  Headings  used  in  this Agreement are for

not  in any way affect the validity and/or enforceability of any other provision
herein  contained.  Any  invalid  or  unenforceable  provision  shall  be deemed
severable  to  the  extent  of  any  such  invalidity  or  unenforceability.

          Section  31.     Governing  Law.  This  Employment  Agreement shall be
                           --------------

          Section  32.     Arbitration.  Any controversy or claim arising out of
                           -----------
