                               ADDITIONAL GUARANTY

       THIS GUARANTY dated as of October 31, 2000 is executed in favor of BANK
OF AMERICA, N.A., as Agent, and the Lender Parties referred to below.

                                   WITNESSETH:

       WHEREAS, EARTHCARE COMPANY (the "Company") has entered into an Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of February 15, 2000 (as amended or
otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"; terms used but not
defined herein are used as defined in the Credit Agreement) with various
financial institutions and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as agent (in its capacity as
agent, together with any successor in such capacity, the "Agent"), pursuant to
which such financial institutions have agreed to make loans to, and issue or
participate in letters of credit for the account of, the Company;

       WHEREAS, the Agent, the Required Banks and the Company have entered into
a Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the
"Second Amendment");

       WHEREAS, the undersigned is a significant investor in the Company, and
has previously executed a Guaranty dated as of February 15, 2000 (the "Existing
Guaranty") in favor of the Agent to guaranty the Liabilities (as defined below);
and

       WHEREAS, in consideration of the amendments, waivers and consents set
forth in the Second Amendment, the undersigned, subject to the terms hereof, is
willing to further guaranty the Liabilities as hereinafter set forth;

       NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably, as primary obligor and not merely as surety,
guarantees the full and prompt payment when due, whether by acceleration or
otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of all obligations of the Company to
each of the Agent and each Lender Party (as defined below) under or in
connection with the Credit Agreement, the Notes, any other Loan Document, any
Hedging Contract entered into with any Lender Party and any other instrument or
document executed in connection with any of the foregoing, in each case
howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due (all such
obligations being herein collectively called the "Liabilities"); provided,
however, that the liability of the undersigned hereunder shall be limited to the
Maximum Principal Liability Amount (as defined below) plus interest accruing on
such amount (or such lesser amount of the Liabilities as is outstanding) after
demand by the Agent hereunder (including interest at the rate specified in any
applicable agreement accruing after any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding with
respect to the Company regardless of whether such interest is an allowed claim
in such proceeding) plus all costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Agent or
any Lender Party in enforcing this Guaranty against the undersigned). As used
herein, (i) "Lender Party" means each

<PAGE>   2
Bank under and as defined in the Credit Agreement and any Affiliate of such a
Bank which is a party to a Hedging Contract with the Company; and (ii) Maximum
Principal Liability Amount means $20,000,000; provided that if the Company has
not completed a sale of the EarthLiquids Subsidiaries on or before December 31,
2000, the Maximum Principal Liability Amount shall be automatically increased to
an amount equal to the remainder of $40,000,000 minus the amount of all Asset
Sale Commitment Reductions made during the period from September 30, 2000
through December 31, 2000; and provided, further, that if the Maximum Principal
Liability Amount is increased on December 31, 2000, then the Maximum Principal
Liability Amount shall be decreased (but not below $20,000,000) by the amount of
all Asset Sale Commitment Reductions made after December 31, 2000. For purposes
of the foregoing, "Asset Sale Commitment Reduction" means any reduction in the
Commitments made pursuant to Section 6.1.3(b) of the Credit Agreement at a time
when no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists or will result
from such reduction or the sale of assets giving rise thereto.

       The undersigned acknowledges that the obligations of the undersigned
under this Guaranty are in addition to the obligations of the undersigned under
the Existing Guaranty and that the Agent and the Lender Parties may make demand
under this Guaranty, and enforce their rights and remedies under this Guaranty,
and enforce their rights and remedies under this Guaranty, before, after or
concurrently with making demand and/or enforcing rights and remedies under the
Existing Guaranty.

        The undersigned agrees that, in the event of the dissolution or
insolvency of the Company, or the insolvency, death or legal incapacity of the
undersigned, or the inability or failure of the Company or the undersigned to
pay debts as they become due, or an assignment by the Company or the undersigned
for the benefit of creditors, or the occurrence of any other Event of Default
under Section 12.1.4 of the Credit Agreement, and if such event shall occur at a
time when any of the Liabilities may not then be due and payable, the
undersigned will pay to the Agent for the account of the Lender Parties
forthwith the full amount which would be payable hereunder by the undersigned if
all Liabilities were then due and payable.

        This Guaranty shall in all respects be a continuing, irrevocable,
absolute and unconditional guaranty, and (except as expressly provided below)
shall remain in full force and effect (notwithstanding, without limitation, that
at any time or from time to time no Liabilities are outstanding) until all
Commitments have terminated and all Liabilities have been paid in full.

        The undersigned agrees that if at any time all or any part of any
payment theretofore applied by the Agent or any Lender Party to any of the
Liabilities is or must be rescinded or returned by the Agent or such Lender
Party for any reason whatsoever (including the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of the Company or the undersigned), such Liabilities shall, for
the purposes of this Guaranty, to the extent that such payment is or must be
rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding
such application by the Agent or such Lender Party, and this Guaranty shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such
Liabilities, all as though such application by the Agent or such Lender Party
had not been made.

<PAGE>   3

       The Agent or any Lender Party may, from time to time, at its sole
discretion and without notice to the undersigned, take any or all of the
following actions: (a) retain or obtain a security interest in any property to
secure any of the Liabilities or any obligation hereunder, (b) retain or obtain
the primary or secondary obligation of any obligor or obligors, in addition to
the undersigned, with respect to any of the Liabilities, (c) extend or renew any
of the Liabilities for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the
original period), alter or exchange any of the Liabilities, or release or
compromise any obligation of the undersigned hereunder or any obligation of any
nature of any other obligor with respect to any of the Liabilities, (d) release
its security interest in, or surrender, release or permit any substitution or
exchange for, all or any part of any property securing any of the Liabilities or
any obligation hereunder, or extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or
not longer than the original period) or release, compromise, alter or exchange
any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any such property,
and (e) resort to the undersigned for payment of any of the Liabilities when
due, whether or not the Agent or such Lender Party shall have resorted to any
property securing any of the Liabilities or any obligation hereunder or shall
have proceeded against any other obligor primarily or secondarily obligated with
respect to any of the Liabilities.

       The undersigned agrees to deliver to the Agent cash collateral, or other
collateral reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, in an amount (with the value of
any non-cash collateral being determined by the Agent in its discretion) not
less than $5,000,000 on or before October 31, 2000 and an additional $10,000,000
on or before November 30, 2000. Such collateral shall be held by the Agent as
security for the obligations of the undersigned hereunder pursuant to
documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. Upon any demand by the Agent
hereunder, the Agent may immediately apply such collateral (or the proceeds
thereof in the case of non-cash collateral) to the payment of the Liabilities.
The undersigned acknowledges that the obligation to provide collateral set forth
in this paragraph is in addition to any obligation of the undersigned to provide
collateral pursuant to the Existing Guaranty.

       The undersigned hereby expressly waives: (a) notice of the acceptance by
the Agent or any Lender Party of this Guaranty, (b) notice of the existence or
creation or non-payment of all or any of the Liabilities, (c) presentment,
demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notices whatsoever, and (d)
all diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon any Liabilities
or any security for or guaranty of any Liabilities.

       Notwithstanding any payment made by or for the account of the undersigned
pursuant to this Guaranty, the undersigned shall not be subrogated to any right
of the Agent or any Lender Party until such time as the Agent and the Lender
Parties shall have received final payment in cash of the full amount of all
Liabilities.

       The undersigned further agrees to pay all expenses (including the
reasonable attorneys' fees and charges) paid or incurred by the Agent or any
Lender Party in endeavoring to collect the Liabilities of the undersigned, or
any part thereof, and in enforcing this Guaranty against the undersigned.

<PAGE>   4

       The creation or existence from time to time of additional Liabilities to
the Agent or the Lender Parties or any of them is hereby authorized, without
notice to the undersigned, and shall in no way affect or impair the rights of
the Agent or the Lender Parties or the obligations of the undersigned under this
Guaranty.

       The Agent and any Lender Party may from time to time without notice to
the undersigned, assign or transfer any or all of the Liabilities or any
interest therein; and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any
subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such Liabilities shall be and remain
Liabilities for the purposes of this Guaranty, and each and every immediate and
successive assignee or transferee of any of the Liabilities or of any interest
therein shall, to the extent of the interest of such assignee or transferee in
the Liabilities, be entitled to the benefits of this Guaranty to the same extent
as if such assignee or transferee were an original Lender Party.

       No delay on the part of the Agent or any Lender Party in the exercise of
any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial
exercise by the Agent or any Lender Party of any right or remedy shall preclude
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy;
nor shall any modification or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty be
binding upon the Agent or the Lender Parties, except as expressly set forth in a
writing duly signed and delivered on behalf of the Agent. No action of the Agent
or any Lender Party permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair the
rights of the Agent or any Lender Party or the obligations of the undersigned
under this Guaranty. For purposes of this Guaranty, Liabilities shall include
all obligations of the Company to the Agent or any Lender Party arising under or
in connection with the Credit Agreement, any Note, any other Loan Document, any
Swap Contract or any other document or instrument executed in connection with
any of the foregoing, notwithstanding any right or power of the Company or
anyone else to assert any claim or defense as to the invalidity or
unenforceability of any such obligation, and no such claim or defense shall
affect or impair the obligations of any of the undersigned hereunder.

       Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, (a) this Guaranty has been delivered to
the Agent and (b) the Agent has been authorized to enforce this Guaranty on
behalf of itself and the Lender Parties. All payments by the undersigned
pursuant to this Guaranty shall be made to the Agent for the benefit of the
Lender Parties.

       This Guaranty shall be binding upon the undersigned and the heirs and
legal representatives of the undersigned. All references herein to the Company
shall be deemed to include any successor or successors, whether immediate or
remote, to such corporation.

       This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Illinois applicable to contracts made and to be fully
performed in such State. Wherever possible, each provision of this Guaranty
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or
invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or

<PAGE>   5

invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the
remaining provisions of this Guaranty.

       This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the
different parties hereto on separate counterparts, and each such counterpart
shall be deemed to be an original but all such counterparts shall together
constitute one and the same Guaranty.

       This Guaranty may be secured by one or more security agreements, pledge
agreements or other similar documents.

       ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION
WITH THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED
EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS OR IN THE UNITED STATES
DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS; PROVIDED, THAT ANY SUIT
SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT
THE AGENT'S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR
OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND. THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS FOR THE
PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION AS SET FORTH ABOVE. THE UNDERSIGNED FURTHER

PREPAID, TO THE ADDRESS SET FORTH OPPOSITE HIS SIGNATURE HERETO (OR SUCH OTHER

ADDRESS FOR NOTICES HEREUNDER) OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE
STATE OF ILLINOIS. THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH HE MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER
HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT
REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN
INCONVENIENT FORUM.

       THE UNDERSIGNED, AND (BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS HEREOF) EACH OF THE AGENT
AND EACH LENDER PARTY, HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION
OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS GUARANTY, ANY OTHER

                                 PROMISSORY NOTE

$_____________                     Houston, Texas                 March 5, 2001

         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, EARTHCARE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT OF
SOUTH FLORIDA, INC., a Florida corporation, and EARTHCARE ACQUISITION SUB, INC.,
an Illinois corporation, hereby promises to pay to the order of DON A. SANDERS
("Lender") the principal sum of ___________ Dollars ($________), with interest
on the unpaid balance thereof from the date hereof until maturity at the rate of
twelve percent (12%) per annum, both principal and interest payable as
hereinafter provided in lawful money of the United States of America at 600
Travis Street, Suite 3100, Houston, Texas , or at such other place within Harris
County, Texas as from time to time may be designated by the holder of this Note.

         All past due principal and/or interest or installments thereof shall
bear interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum.

         All principal and interest shall be due and payable on the first to
occur of (1) April 30, 2001, or (2) the later to occur of the sale by EarthCare
Company, a Delaware corporation of its EarthLiquid division and its EarthAmerica
division (as defined in the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined)).

         This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company
(which term includes any successor corporation under the Loan Agreement
hereinafter referred to) in aggregate principal amount to $2,500,000, issued
pursuant to a Letter Loan Agreement dated as of March 5, 2001 (the "Loan
Agreement"), among the undersigned, EarthCare Company, a Delaware corporation,
and Lender. The terms of this Note include those stated in the Loan Agreement.
Reference is hereby made to the Loan Agreement and all supplements thereto for a
statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities
thereunder of the Company and Lender and of the terms upon which the Notes are,
and are to be, and delivered.

         This Note is secured by a Security Agreement (the "Security Agreement")
of even date herewith from the undersigned to Lender evidencing a security
interest in certain personal property described therein. Upon the failure to pay
any installment of the principal of or interest on this Note as above promised,
or upon the occurrence of a default under the Security Agreement, the holder of
this Note or any part thereof shall have the option of declaring the principal
balance hereof and the interest accrued hereon to be immediately due and
payable.

         The undersigned shall have the right to prepay, without penalty, at any
time and from time to time prior to maturity, all or any part of the unpaid
principal balance of this Note and/or all or any part of the unpaid interest
accrued to the date of such prepayment, provided that any such principal thus
paid is accompanied by accrued interest on such principal.

         It is the intent of the payee of this Note and the undersigned in the
execution of this Note and all other instruments now or hereafter securing this
Note to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law. In furtherance
thereof, the said payee and the undersigned stipulate and agree

                                       1
<PAGE>   2

that none of the terms and provisions contained in this Note, or in any other
instrument executed in connection herewith, shall ever be construed to create a
contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a
rate in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged by
applicable law; that neither the undersigned nor any guarantors, endorsers or
other parties now or hereafter becoming liable for payment of this Note shall
ever be obligated or required to pay interest on this Note at a rate in excess
of the maximum interest that may be lawfully charged under applicable law; and
that the provisions of this paragraph shall control over all other provisions of
this Note and any other instruments now or hereafter executed in connection
herewith which may be in apparent conflict herewith. The holder of this Note
expressly disavows any intention to charge or collect excessive unearned
interest or finance charges in the event the maturity of this Note is
accelerated. If the maturity of this Note shall be accelerated for any reason or
if the principal of this Note is paid prior to the end of the term of this Note,
and as a result thereof the interest received for the actual period of existence
of the loan evidenced by this Note exceeds the applicable maximum lawful rate,
the holder of this Note shall, at its option, either refund to the undersigned
the amount of such excess or credit the amount of such excess against the
principal balance of this Note then outstanding and thereby shall render
inapplicable any and all penalties of any kind provided by applicable law as a
result of such excess interest. In the event that the said payee or any other
holder of this Note shall contract for, charge or receive any amount or amounts
and/or any other thing of value which are determined to constitute interest
which would increase the effective interest rate on this Note to a rate in
excess of that permitted to be charged by applicable law, an amount equal to
interest in excess of the lawful rate shall, upon such determination, at the
option of the holder of this Note, be either immediately returned to the
undersigned or credited against the principal balance of this Note then
outstanding, in which event any and all penalties of any kind under applicable
law as a result of such excess interest shall be inapplicable. By execution of
this Note the undersigned acknowledges that it believes the loan evidenced by
this Note to be non-usurious and agrees that if, at any time, the undersigned
should have reason to believe that such loan is in fact usurious, it will give
the holder of this Note notice of such condition and the undersigned agrees that
said holder shall have ninety (90) days in which to make appropriate refund or
other adjustment in order to correct such condition if in fact such exists. The
term "applicable law" as used in this Note shall mean the laws of the State of
Texas or the laws of the United States, whichever laws allow the greater rate of
interest, as such laws now exist or may be changed or amended or come into
effect in the future.

         Should the indebtedness represented by this Note or any part thereof be
collected at law or in equity or through any bankruptcy, receivership, probate
or other court proceedings or if this Note is placed in the hands of attorneys
for collection after default, the undersigned and all endorsers, guarantors and
sureties of this Note jointly and severally agree to pay to the holder of this
Note in addition to the principal and interest due and payable hereon all the
costs and expenses of said holder in enforcing this Note including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses.

         The undersigned and all endorsers, guarantors and sureties of this Note
and all other persons liable or to become liable on this Note severally waive
presentment for payment, demand, notice of demand and of dishonor and nonpayment
of this Note, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity of this Note,
protest and notice of protest, diligence in collecting, and the bringing of suit
against any other party, and agree to all renewals, extensions, modifications,
partial payments, releases or substitutions of security, in whole or in part,
with or without notice, before or after maturity.

         THIS NOTE AND THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE

UNITED STATES APPLICABLE TO TRANSACTIONS WITHIN SUCH STATE.
