                           DISTRIBUTORSHIP AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT is entered into as of the 1st day of August 2002 by and
between STOCKHAUSEN, INC., a North Carolina corporation (hereinafter referred to
as "Stockhausen"), and AMERICAN SOIL TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Nevada corporation
(hereinafter referred to as the "Distributor").

                                   WITNESSETH

     WHEREAS, Stockhausen is a manufacturer of certain superabsorbent and other
polymer products, more particularly described on Schedule A attached hereto (the
"Products"), which products are manufactured for use in applications involving
the agriculture market, and

     WHEREAS, Distributor is a distributor in North America in the soil and
water treatment business and also manufactures and sells soil amendments,
including soil amendments made with polymers, and

     WHEREAS, Stockhausen desires that Distributor distribute the Products, to
certain markets, described in Schedule B attached hereto (the "Markets"), within
the geographic areas described in Schedule C attached hereto (the "Territory"),
all on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises hereinafter set
forth and subject to the following terms and conditions, the parties agree as
follows:

     1. Appointment of Distributor. Stockhausen hereby appoints and designates
Distributor, effective as of the date hereof, as Stockhausen's sole and
exclusive distributor, unless otherwise noted in Schedule B, of the Products
(each individually a "Product" and collectively the "Products") to the Markets
within the Territory.

     2. Performance by Stockhausen.

          (a) Stockhausen agrees to supply Products to Distributor for sale to
     the Markets within the Territory.

          (b) Stockhausen shall not be liable for any failure on its part to
     fill any order, or any delay in filling any order, if such failure or delay
     is due to any cause beyond the control of Stockhausen, such as strike,
     fire, flood, other natural disaster, embargo, accident, or inability of
     Stockhausen to obtain materials, fuel or labor, or due to war,
     expropriation, confiscation, priority or other ruling, instruction, order
     or interference by civil or military authorities, whether legal or de
     facto, or due to transportation delays or any other cause beyond the
     control of Stockhausen.
<PAGE>
          (c) Stockhausen may from time to time in its sole discretion
     discontinue production and sale of one or more of the Products without
     liability to Distributor. Stockhausen shall give Distributor at least
     ninety (90) days prior written notice of such discontinuation and shall
     fill all orders reasonably placed by Distributor prior to the expiration of
     such period of notice.

          (d) If Stockhausen discontinues production of a Product and then
     decides to produce such Product, or a replacement Product, such Product or
     replacement Product, as the case may be, shall be included in the term
     "Products" and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this
     Agreement. Inclusion of a replacement Product in the definition of Products
     shall require the consent of Distributor, which consent shall not be
     unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributor agrees
     that its consent shall not be required if the replacement Product performs
     as the functional equivalent of or better than the discontinued Product and
     the price for such replacement Product is comparable to the discontinued
     Product.

          (e) Stockhausen agrees to supply Distributor, or Distributor's
     designee (which designee must be approved in writing by Stockhausen), as
     the case may be, with Product or Products that accord with the certificates
     of analysis accompanying such Products and are in accordance with the terms
     and conditions of this Agreement and purchase orders submitted and accepted
     in accordance with Section 5 herein.

          (f) Technical Support. Stockhausen shall provide such technical
     support to the Distributor for its efforts to sell Product during the term
     of this Agreement as deemed reasonable by Stockhausen.

     3. Performance by Distributor.

          (a) Distributor shall promote the sale of the Products to the Markets
     in the Territory. Distributor shall make regular calls on the Markets in
     the Territory and shall advise the Markets on both commercial and technical
     matters. Stockhausen agrees to provide advisory support to Distributor in
     its research and sales efforts of a quantity, nature and duration
     determined by Stockhausen in its sole discretion.

          (b) Distributor shall provide to Stockhausen monthly and annual
     written reports in form and substance acceptable to Stockhausen on

          (c) During each twelve month period extending from January 1 through
     December 31 (the "Twelve Month Period") that this Agreement is in effect,
     Distributor shall purchase from Stockhausen (or arrange for the purchase
     from Stockhausen by a designee approved by Stockhausen pursuant to Section
     2(e) above) no less than a certain agreed upon aggregate minimum purchase
     quantity of the Products. The annual aggregate minimum purchase quantity
     for the Products for the Twelve Month Periods beginning as of January 1,
     2002, January 1, 2003 and January 1, 2004 are set forth on Schedule D
     attached hereto. Thereafter, the annual aggregate minimum purchase quantity
     shall be renegotiated in good faith annually taking into account without
     limitation the previous years sales, market conditions, discontinued
     Products, the efficacy and time to market of any substitute or replacement
     Products, and any price changes. In no event, however, shall the annual
     aggregate minimum purchase quantity ever be less than the quantity for
     January 1, 2004 indicated on Schedule D attached hereto or less than ninety
     percent (90%) of the actual aggregate quantity of the Products purchased by
     Distributor during the immediately preceding Twelve Month Period. The
     parties will use good faith efforts to agree upon the annual aggregate
     minimum purchase quantity for the next Twelve Month Period no later than
     December 31 of the current Twelve Month Period. The annual aggregate
     minimum purchase quantity for the Products for such Twelve Month Period
     shall be the greater of the quantity for January 1, 2004 indicated on
     Schedule D attached hereto or ninety percent (90%) of the actual aggregate
     purchase quantity of the Products purchased by Distributor during the
     immediately preceding Twelve Month Period. If production and sale of a
     Product is discontinued by Stockhausen and if such discontinued Product is
     not replaced by a replacement Product pursuant to Section 2(d) hereof, then
     the annual aggregate minimum purchase quantity for the Products for the
     Twelve Month Period in which such discontinuance takes place shall be
     reduced by an amount of Products equal to the percentage of such annual
     aggregate minimum purchase quantity which is equal to (i) the actual amount
     of the discontinued Product purchased by Distributor during the immediately
     preceding Twelve Month Period divided by (ii) the actual aggregate quantity
     of the Products purchased by Distributor during the immediately preceding
     Twelve Month Period.

          (d) Stockhausen shall maintain during the term of this Agreement, and
     any renewal or extension thereof, the labeling registrations required under
     the applicable state law, if any, for it to be able to sell and distribute
     the Products in each respective state. All reasonable costs associated with
     maintaining such registrations shall be reimbursed by Distributor to
     Stockhausen upon written request by Stockhausen. Distributor shall obtain

                                       3
<PAGE>
     and maintain at its own expense during the term of this Agreement, and any
     renewal or extension thereof, any other licenses or registrations required
     under applicable law for it and Stockhausen to be able to sell and
     distribute the Products pursuant to this Agreement. Stockhausen agrees to
     cooperate as reasonably necessary in the course of Distributor's efforts to
     obtain and maintain such other licenses and registrations. Further,
     Distributor shall keep Stockhausen apprised of all requirements imposed by
     any state within the Territory.

          (e) While this Agreement is in effect, the Distributor shall not
     market or sell to the Markets in the Territory any products that compete
     with the Products without Stockhausen's prior written consent.

     4. Price. Prices to be charged by Stockhausen and paid by Distributor for
the Products shall be "FOB" Stockhausen's U.S. warehouse facility. Prices
charged by Stockhausen shall be according to the agreed upon price structure
attached as Schedule E to this Agreement (the "Price List"), which prices shall
be subject to amendment by Stockhausen from time to time, but only if
Stockhausen experiences a material change in the cost of raw materials, or other
supply, and then only upon ninety (90) days' prior written notice to
Distributor. Stockhausen may agree from time to time, at its sole discretion, to
warehouse Products for Distributor. In each such case, Distributor agrees that
it shall reimburse Stockhausen for all costs associated with warehousing such
Products.

     5. Purchase Orders. All purchase orders submitted by Distributor must be
accepted by Stockhausen to bind Stockhausen. Any terms proposed by Distributor
in a purchase order that are additional or different than those set forth in
this Agreement are hereby rejected unless expressly assented to in writing by
Stockhausen. Failure of Stockhausen to object to provisions contained in any
purchase order or other communication from Distributor shall not be construed as
a waiver of this Section or, an acceptance of such purchase order terms that are
additional or different than those set forth in this Agreement.

     6. Shipment. The Products shall be shipped FOB Stockhausen's U.S. warehouse
facility. The minimum quantity that must be ordered in a given shipment is one
truckload of Products, with a truckload equal to approximately 40,000 pounds of
Products unless otherwise agreed to prior by both parties. Unless Distributor is
notified otherwise by Stockhausen, the Products will be shipped within seven (7)
business days of acceptance of an order.

     7. Payment. Distributor shall pay Stockhausen in full for the Products
within forty five (45) days of date of invoice of each shipment of such
Products, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the parties hereto. All
invoices are payable at Stockhausen's Greensboro, North Carolina address in
lawful money of the United States. Distributor, and not Stockhausen, shall be
solely responsible for all risks of nonpayment for Products distributed by
Distributor to its customers or any other third party on credit.

                                       4
<PAGE>
     8. Taxes, Tolls, Etc. In the event that Stockhausen may be required to pay
any federal, provincial, state or municipal taxes, tolls, excises or charges
(including, without limitation, tonnage fees), other than income taxes, upon the
sale or transportation of the Products sold hereunder, Distributor shall
reimburse Stockhausen for the same immediately upon written demand therefore
being made by Stockhausen.

     9. Marketing. Distributor shall develop and fund a marketing plan
acceptable to Stockhausen for the Products and shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to actively market the Products. Such efforts shall include, without
limitation, advertising, direct mail, trade show participation, and the
distribution of Product samples.

     10. Labeling. Any Products packaged or repackaged by either Distributor or
Stockhausen shall be labeled in accordance with all applicable laws. Stockhausen
shall have the right to monitor such labeling to make sure that its trademarks
are being properly used and protected. Stockhausen shall keep Distributor
informed of its labeling policies and any changes to those policies as may be
made from time to time.

     11. Intellectual Property Rights

     (a) Stockhausen hereby grants Distributor a license to use its
STOCKOSORB(R) and STOCKOPAM(R) trademarks (the "Marks") solely in connection
with the Products, and the sale and promotion thereof. Distributor acknowledges
and agrees that its use of Marks will be limited to instances in which it sells
original, unopened packages or containers of Product as received from
Stockhausen. In other instances Distributor shall use its own trademarks in
connection with the sale and promotion of the Product. Furthermore, Distributor
agrees to use the Marks only in the form and manner and with appropriate legends
as prescribed from time to time by Stockhausen. Distributor acknowledges
Stockhausen's ownership of the Marks, and Distributor agrees that it will do
nothing inconsistent with such ownership, and that all use of the Marks by
Distributor shall inure to the benefit of and be on behalf of Stockhausen.
Distributor agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall give Distributor any
right, title or interest in the Marks, other than the right to use the Marks,
and distribute the Products in accordance with this Agreement. Distributor
agrees that it will not attack the title of Stockhausen to the Marks.

     (b) Distributor shall utilize the Marks pursuant to this Agreement in the
format directed by Stockhausen in writing. Distributor shall maintain a
consistently high quality for all goods that will bear the Marks.

     (c) Distributor agrees to notify Stockhausen of any unauthorized use of the
Marks by it or others promptly as such use comes to Distributor's attention.
Stockhausen shall have the sole right and discretion to bring infringement or
unfair competition proceedings involving the Marks.

                                       5

     12. Quality; Remedies for Nonconforming Product. Stockhausen warrants only
that the Products sold hereunder shall be in compliance with the specifications
agreed upon from time to time by the parties hereto and set forth in the
certificate of analysis (the "C of A") accompanying each order of the Products.
Stockhausen makes no other warranty of any kind, express or implied, and makes
NO WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. A C of A
shall accompany each shipment of Products to Distributor. Distributor covenants
that it shall fully comply with all label directions for the handling, storage,
possession, resale or use of the Products sold hereunder and Distributor agrees
that it shall indemnify and hold Stockhausen harmless from all claims
(including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) of personal injury or property
damage resulting from any negligence, gross negligence, recklessness or willful
misconduct on the part of Distributor or from any failure of Distributor to
comply with the terms of this covenant. Claims on account of weight, loss of or
damage to Product shall be waived unless made in writing within ten (10) days
from the date of delivery to Distributor and prior to the mixing, blending,
converting or other destruction of the identity of the goods.

     Upon written notice of nonconformity of any Product, Stockhausen shall have
the right to cure said nonconformity within a commercially reasonable time even
though the time for delivery has expired. DISTRIBUTOR'S REMEDIES FOR BREACH OF
WARRANTY BY STOCKHAUSEN SHALL BE LIMITED TO OBTAINING CONFORMING PRODUCT FROM
STOCKHAUSEN OR THE CREDITING OF DISTRIBUTOR'S ACCOUNT WITH STOCKHAUSEN FOR ANY
AMOUNTS DISTRIBUTOR MAY ALREADY HAVE PAID FOR NONCONFORMING PRODUCT. Stockhausen
shall determine at its sole discretion which remedy it shall provide in a given
situation. Stockhausen warrants (i) that Stockhausen's performance pursuant to
this Agreement does not violate any agreement between Stockhausen and any third
party and (ii) that to Stockhausen's knowledge, without Stockhausen making any
investigation into such matter, the Products do not infringe any outstanding
patent rights of a third party in the Territory. Stockhausen's warranty with
regard to Section 12(ii) above extends only to the Products themselves, and not
to the use of the Products by the Distributor. To the extent Distributor resells
any of the Products in other than an original unopened container (including
without limitation containers opened solely for purposes of sampling such
Products to make sure that they meet the agreed?upon specifications for such
Products), Stockhausen shall not be liable for claims of patent infringement
based upon the sale or use of such Products or the manufacture, sale or use of
any material containing such Products.

     13. Confidentiality. Confidential Information. During the term of this
Agreement and thereafter, each party receiving Confidential Information (as
hereinafter defined) (such party being referred to as a "receiving party")
agrees that neither it nor any of its employees, representatives, agents or
consultants will either disclose or use, either for itself or for the benefit of
any third party, any Confidential Information relating in any way to the party
disclosing such Confidential Information (such party being referred to as a
"disclosing party") or the disclosing party's products, business or affairs,
except for disclosure or use that is appropriate and in the ordinary course of
carrying out its duties under this Agreement. "Confidential Information" shall
mean any oral, written or graphic information not generally available to the
public, which information shall include, without limitation, information
relating to the terms of this Agreement, the disclosing party's products,

                                       6

processes, techniques, technology, formulae, research data, manufacturing
methods, know-how, show how, trade secrets, customers and suppliers, information
relating to sales and profits, other financial data, and the terms and
conditions of the other party's dealings with them; provided, however, that
"Confidential Information" shall not include the following: information known
generally to the public (other than information known generally to the public as
a result of a violation by the receiving party of the provisions of this
Section); information acquired by the receiving party outside of its affiliation
(before or after the date hereof) with the disclosing party; and information
developed independent of the Confidential Information. A receiving party shall
have the right to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to the order of a
court of competent jurisdiction, in which case the receiving party shall give
written notice of the order to the disclosing party at least thirty (30) days'
prior to the date of compliance with such order or information whose disclosure
by the receiving party is required by law or court order (unless the receiving
party has less that thirty (30) days' notice itself, in which case the receiving
party shall give the disclosing party as much notice as is practicable under the
circumstances). Confidential Information received from one party by the other
may be disclosed to the other's affiliates, upon agreement of such affiliate to
abide by the nondisclosure and nonuse obligations set forth in this Section 13.

     14 Term. The term of this Agreement shall be from the date first above
written to December 31, 2004, unless either party shall earlier terminate this
Agreement pursuant to Section 16 hereof. At the end of this initial term, this
Agreement shall continue for further terms of three (3) years each, unless
terminated by either party at the end of the initial term or any such three (3)
year term or pursuant to Section 16 hereof.

     15. Termination.

          (a) Termination by Either Party. Either party may terminate this
     Agreement at any time, without waiving any legal rights or remedies it may
     otherwise have, effective immediately upon written notice, upon the
     occurrence of any of the following:

               (i) the other party fails to cure a material breach of or
          material default in any of its obligations to be performed hereunder

          twenty (20) days of written notice of such breach or default; or

               (ii) the other party fails to cure a breach of or default in any
          of its payment obligations to be performed hereunder within five (5)
          days of written notice of such breach or default; or

                                       7
<PAGE>
               (iii) the other party breaches or defaults in any of its
          obligations to be performed under Section 13 or Section 3(e) hereof.

          (b) Termination by Stockhausen. Stockhausen may terminate this
     Agreement at any time, without waiving any legal rights or remedies it may
     otherwise have, effective immediately upon receipt of written notice, upon
     the occurrence of any of the following:

               (i) Distributor declares, or is petitioned into, bankruptcy or
          insolvency or makes a general assignment for the benefit of its
          creditors; or

               (ii) Distributor sells all or substantially all of its assets or
          capital stock to, or is merged into, another person or entity or if
          more than fifty percent (50%) of its stock is sold or otherwise
          transferred; or

               (iii) Distributor fails to purchase within a given Twelve Month
          Period the annual aggregate minimum purchase quantity agreed upon
          pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof and such failure is not either the
          result of Stockhausen's failure to supply such quantity to Distributor
          or the result of matters beyond the reasonable control of Distributor.

          (c) Generally. Any termination shall not affect any monies owing or
     obligations incurred by either of the parties prior to the effective date
     of the termination. The provisions of Sections 3(e), 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15,
     16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 shall survive expiration or termination, for any
     reason, of this Agreement.

     16. Limitation of Liability. STOCKHAUSEN WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO DISTRIBUTOR
OR ITS AFFILIATES FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER
FORESEEABLE OR UNFORESEEABLE, BASED ON CLAIMS OF DISTRIBUTOR OR ITS AFFILIATES
OR ITS CLIENTS OR CUSTOMERS (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CLAIMS FOR LOSS OF
GOODWILL, PROFITS, USE OF MONEY OR USE OF PRODUCTS OR IMPAIRMENT OF OTHER
ASSETS), ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, BREACH OF
CONTRACT, MISREPRESENTATION, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT OR OTHERWISE
IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF
PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE WHERE AND TO THE EXTENT THAT APPLICABLE LAW
REQUIRES SUCH LIABILITY.

modified or waived unless such amendment, modification or waiver is agreed to in
writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Distributor and by a

waiver of any other breach.

     19. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the internal substantive laws and judicial decisions of the
State of North Carolina, including its provisions of the Uniform Commercial
Code, but excluding its conflicts of laws provisions.

     20. Remedies. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that a party would
suffer irreparable injury in the event of a breach by the other party of any of
the provisions of Section 3(e) or Section 13 and that such injured party shall
be entitled to an injunction entered by any court of competent jurisdiction,
restraining the other party from any breach or threatened breach thereof.

shall, if reasonable, be construed and performed as if such void, invalid,
unenforceable, or illegal provision has never been contained herein. This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which shall constitute one and
