              AMENDED AND RESTATED COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

         AMENDED AND RESTATED COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"),
dated as of May __, 2001 by and between U.S. PLASTIC LUMBER CORP., a Nevada
corporation (the "Company"), and FUSION CAPITAL FUND II, LLC, an Illinois
limited liability company (the "Buyer"). Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined herein are defined in Section 10 hereof.

                                    WHEREAS:

         Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the
Company wishes to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer wishes to buy from the
Company, up to Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) of the Company's common stock,
par value $.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"). The shares of Common Stock to
be purchased hereunder are referred to herein as the "Purchase Shares." In
addition, as set forth in Section 1(g) hereof, the Company may, in its sole
discretion, at any time after the date hereof and until 20 Trading Days after
such date as the Available Amount is equal to $0, deliver an irrevocable written
notice to the Buyer stating that the Company elects to enter into an additional
Common Stock Purchase Agreement with the Buyer for the purchase of Six Million
Dollars ($6,000,000) of additional Common Stock.

         NOW THEREFORE, the Company and the Buyer hereby agree as follows:

         1. PURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK.

         Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 6, 7 and 9
below, the Company hereby agrees to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby
agrees to purchase from the Company, shares of Common Stock as follows:

         (a) COMMENCEMENT OF PURCHASES OF COMMON STOCK. The purchase and sale of
Common Stock hereunder shall commence (the "Commencement") within five (5)
Trading Days following the date of satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions to
the Commencement set forth in Sections 6 and 7 below, (the date of such
Commencement, the "Commencement Date").

         (b) BUYER'S PURCHASE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS. Subject to the Company's
right to suspend purchases under Section 1(d)(iii) hereof, the Buyer shall
purchase shares of Common Stock on each Trading Day during each Monthly Period
equal to the Daily Base Amount at the Purchase Price. Within three (3) Trading
Days of receipt of Purchase Shares, the Buyer shall pay to the Company an amount
equal to the Purchase Amount with respect to such Purchase Shares as full
payment for the purchase of the Purchase Shares so received. The Company shall
not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any purchase. All shares
of Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon a purchase under
this Agreement shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the
purchase would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock.
If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the issuance would result in the
issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such
fraction of a share of Common Stock up or down to the nearest whole share. All
payments made under this Agreement shall be made in lawful money of the United
States of America by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds to
such account as the Company may from time to time designate

<PAGE>   2
by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Whenever
any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Agreement is due on any day
which is not a Trading Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding
day which is a Trading Day.

         (c) COMPANY'S RIGHT TO DECREASE OR INCREASE THE DAILY BASE AMOUNT.

                  (i) COMPANY'S RIGHT TO DECREASE THE DAILY BASE AMOUNT. The
         Company shall always have the right at any time to decrease the amount
         of the Daily Base Amount by delivering written notice (a "Daily Base
         Amount Decrease Notice") to the Buyer which notice shall specify the
         amount of the new Daily Base Amount. The decrease in the Daily Base
         Amount shall become effective one Trading Day after receipt by the
         Buyer of the Daily Base Amount Decrease. Any purchases by the Buyer
         which have a Purchase Date on or prior to the first (1st) Trading Day
         after receipt by the Buyer of a Daily Base Amount Decrease Notice must
         be honored by the Company as otherwise provided herein. The decrease in
         the Daily Base Amount shall remain in effect until the Company delivers
         to the Buyer a Daily Base Amount Increase Notice (as defined below).

                  (ii) COMPANY'S RIGHT TO INCREASE DAILY BASE AMOUNT. The
         Company shall always have the right at any time to increase the amount
         of the Daily Base Amount up to the Original Daily Base Amount by
         delivering written notice to the Buyer stating the new amount of the
         Daily Base Amount (a "Daily Base Amount Increase Notice"). If the
         Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on each of the five (5)
         consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to a Daily Base Amount
         Increase Notice is at least $3.50, the Company shall have the right to
         deliver a Daily Base Amount Increase Notice which increases the amount
         of the Daily Base Amount to any amount above the Original Daily Base
         Amount. A Daily Base Amount Increase Notice shall be effective one
         Trading Day after receipt by the Buyer. Such increase in the amount of
         the Daily Base Amount shall continue in effect until the delivery to
         the Buyer of a Daily Base Amount Decrease Notice. Notwithstanding
         anything to the contrary, if the Daily Base Amount then in effect is
         greater than the Original Daily Base Amount and the Sale Price of the
         Common Stock during any Trading Day is less than $3.50, the amount of
         the Daily Base Amount for such Trading Day on which the Sale Price of
         the Common Stock is less than $3.50 and for each Trading Day thereafter
         shall be the Original Daily Base Amount or such lesser amount as
         specified by the Company in a Daily Base Amount Decrease Notice.
         Thereafter, the Company shall again have the right to increase the
         amount of the Daily Base Amount to any amount above the Original Daily
         Base Amount only if the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock is at
         least $3.50 on each of five (5) consecutive Trading Days.

         (d) LIMITATIONS ON PURCHASES.

                  (i) EXCHANGE CAP LIMITATION. The Company shall not effect any
         purchase under this Agreement and the Buyer shall not have the right to
         purchase shares of Common Stock under this Agreement to the extent that
         after giving effect to such purchase the "Exchange Cap" shall be deemed
         to be reached. The "Exchange Cap" shall be deemed to be reached at such
         time if, upon a purchase under this Agreement, the issuance of such
         shares of Common Stock would exceed that number of shares of Common
         Stock which the Company may issue under this Agreement without
         breaching the Company's obligations under the rules or regulations of
         the Principal Market.

                                       2

                  (ii) LIMITATION ON BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP. The Company shall not
         effect any purchase under this Agreement and the Buyer shall not have
         the right to purchase shares of Common Stock under this Agreement to
         the extent that after giving effect to such purchase the Buyer together
         with its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% of the
         outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such purchase. For
         purposes hereof, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially
         owned by the Buyer and its affiliates or acquired by the Buyer and its
         affiliates, as the case may be, shall include the number of shares of
         Common Stock issuable in connection with a purchase under this
         Agreement with respect to which the determination is being made, but
         shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be
         issuable upon (1) a purchase of the remaining Available Amount which
         has not been submitted for purchase, and (2) exercise or conversion of
         the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the
         Company (including, without limitation, any warrants) subject to a
         limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation
         contained herein beneficially owned by the Buyer and its affiliates. If
         the 4.9% limitation is ever reached the Company shall have the option
         to increase such limitation to 9.9% by delivery of written notice to
         the Buyer. Thereafter, if the 9.9% limitation is ever reached this
         shall not effect or limit the Buyer's obligation to purchase the Daily
         Base Amount as otherwise provided in this Agreement. For purposes of
         this Section, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common
         Stock the Buyer may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common
         Stock as reflected in (1) the Company's most recent Form 10-Q or Form
         10-K, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the
         Company or (3) any other written communication by the Company or its
         transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock
         outstanding. Upon the reasonable written or oral request of the Buyer,
         the Company shall promptly confirm orally and in writing to the Buyer
         the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the
         number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after
         giving effect to any purchases under this Agreement by the Buyer since
         the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
         was reported. Except as otherwise set forth herein, for purposes of
         this Section 1(d)(ii), beneficial ownership shall be determined in
         accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
         as amended.

                  (iii) COMPANY'S RIGHT TO SUSPEND PURCHASES. The Company may at
         any time give written notice (a "Purchase Suspension Notice") to the
         Buyer suspending purchases by the Buyer under this Agreement. The
         Purchase Suspension Notice shall be effective only for purchases that
         have a Purchase Date later than three (3) Trading Days after receipt of
         the Purchase Suspension Notice by the Buyer. Any purchases by the Buyer
         which have a Purchase Date on or prior to the third (3rd) Trading Day
         after receipt by the Buyer of the Company's Purchase Suspension Notice
         must be honored by the Company as otherwise provided herein. Such
         purchase suspension shall continue in effect until a revocation in
         writing by the Company in its sole discretion. So long as a Purchase
         Suspension Notice is in effect, the Buyer shall not be obligated to
         purchase any Purchase Shares from the Company under Section 1 of this
         Agreement."

         (e) RECORDS OF PURCHASES. The Buyer and the Company shall each maintain
records showing the remaining Available Amount at any given time and the dates
and Purchase Amounts for each purchase or shall use such other method,
reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer and the Company.

         (f) TAXES. The Company shall pay any and all taxes that may be payable
with respect to the issuance and delivery of any shares of Common Stock to the
Buyer made under of this Agreement.

         (g) OPTION FOR SECOND TRANCHE; ADDITIONAL COMMON STOCK PURCHASE
AGREEMENT. The Company may, in its sole discretion, at any time after the date
hereof and until 20 Trading Days after such date as the Available Amount is
equal to $0 (the "Second Tranche Expiration Date"), deliver an irrevocable
written notice (the "Second Tranche Notice") to the Buyer stating that the
Company elects to enter into an additional Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the
"Second Common Stock Purchase Agreement") with the Buyer for the purchase of Six
Million Dollars ($6,000,000) of additional Common Stock. It is agreed and
acknowledged by the parties hereto that entering into the Second Common Stock
Purchase Agreement shall be at the option of the Company in its sole discretion
until such time as the Company shall have delivered the Second Tranche Notice to
the Buyer. The Buyer shall not be obligated to enter into the Second Common
Stock Purchase Agreement unless the Company has delivered the Second Tranche
Notice prior to the Second Tranche Expiration Date. The Second Common Stock
Purchase Agreement may not be entered into until the aggregate Available Amount
under this Agreement is fully used to buy Purchase Shares hereunder. Upon
delivery of the Second Tranche Notice to the Buyer prior to the Second Tranche
Expiration Date, the Buyer and the Company shall be obligated to enter into the
Second Common Stock Purchase Agreement no later than the date that is 10 Trading
Days after the Second Tranche Expiration Date. If the Buyer and the Company have
not entered into the Second Common Stock Purchase Agreement by the date that is
10 Trading Days after the Second Tranche Expiration Date, the Buyer shall not be
obligated to enter into such additional Common Stock Purchase Agreement. The
terms and conditions of the Second Common Stock Purchase Agreement shall be in
form and substance identical in all respects to this Agreement, provided,
however, that for purposes of the Second Common Stock Purchase Agreement, (i)
this Section 1(g) shall be omitted, and (ii) the Commitment Shares shall be
equal to 8% of Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) divided by the arithmetic
average of the Closing Bid Prices of the Common Stock for the ten (10)
consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the date that the Second Tranche
Notice is delivered to the Buyer. Such second tranche Commitment Shares shall be
held by the Buyer until the Second Common Stock Purchase Agreement has been
terminated.

         2. BUYER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

         The Buyer represents and warrants to the Company that:

         (a) INVESTMENT PURPOSE. The Buyer is entering into this Agreement and
acquiring the Commitment Shares (as defined in Section 7(b) hereof) (this
Agreement and the Commitment Shares are collectively referred to herein as the
"Securities"), for its own account for investment only and not with a view
towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution

acknowledgments and understandings of the Buyer set forth herein in order to
determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Buyer
to acquire the Securities.

Buyer's right to rely on the Company's representations and warranties contained
in Section 3 below. The Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice
as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with
respect to its acquisition of the Securities.

         (e) NO GOVERNMENTAL REVIEW. The Buyer understands that no United States
federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has
passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the
fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such
authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the
Securities.

         (f) TRANSFER OR RESALE. The Buyer understands that except as provided
in the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in Section 6(a) hereof): (i)
the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the 1933 Act or
any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or
transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder or (B) an exemption
exists permitting such Securities to be sold, assigned or transferred without
such registration; (ii) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144
may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule
144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities under circumstances in which
the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an
underwriter (as that term is defined in the 1933 Act) may require compliance
with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the
SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other person is under any
obligation to register the Securities under the 1933 Act or any state securities
laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Buyer and is a valid and
binding agreement of the Buyer enforceable against the Buyer in accordance with
its terms, subject as to enforceability to general principles of equity and to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and
other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of
applicable creditors' rights and remedies.

         (h) RESIDENCY. The Buyer is a resident of the State of Illinois.

         (i) NO PRIOR SHORT SELLING. The Buyer represents and warrants to the
Company that at no time prior to the date of this Agreement has any of the
Buyer, its agents, associates, representatives or affiliates engaged in or
effected, in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, any (i) "short sale"
(as such term is defined in Rule 3b-3 of the 1934 Act) of the Common Stock or
(ii) hedging transaction, which establishes a net short position with respect to
the Common Stock.

Securities in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, (ii) the execution
and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by
it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including without

with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general
principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the
enforcement of creditors' rights and remedies.

         (c) CAPITALIZATION. As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock

charges with respect to the issue thereof, with the holders being entitled to
all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock.

         (e) NO CONFLICTS. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3(e), the execution,

rules and regulations of the Principal Market applicable to the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries) or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries is bound or affected, except in the case of conflicts, defaults
and violations under clause (ii), which could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3(e),
neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries is in violation of any term of or in
default under its Certificate of Incorporation, any Certificate of Designation,
Preferences and Rights of any outstanding series of preferred stock of the
Company or By-laws or their organizational charter or by-laws, respectively.

<PAGE>   8

any statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or its Subsidiaries,
except for possible conflicts, defaults, terminations or amendments which could
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The business of
the Company and its Subsidiaries is not being conducted, and shall not be
conducted, in violation of any law, ordinance, regulation of any governmental
entity, except for possible violations, the sanctions for which either
individually or in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a

and as required under the 1933 Act, the Company is not required to obtain any
consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any

schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with
the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date
hereof and all exhibits included therein and financial statements and schedules
thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein being hereinafter
referred to as the "SEC Documents"). As of their respective dates (except as
they have been correctly amended), the SEC Documents complied in all material
respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of
the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the
SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC (except as they may have
been correctly amended), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading. As of their respective dates (except as they
have been correctly amended), the financial statements of the Company included
in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with
applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of
the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied,
during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such
financial statements or the notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited
interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed
or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the financial
position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of its
operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of
unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).

         (g) ABSENCE OF CERTAIN CHANGES. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3(g),
since December 31, 2000, there has been no material adverse change in the
business, properties, operations, financial condition or results of operations
of the Company or its Subsidiaries. The Company has not taken any steps, and
does not currently expect to take any steps, to seek protection pursuant to any
bankruptcy law nor does the Company or any of its Subsidiaries have any
knowledge or reason to believe that its creditors intend to initiate involuntary
bankruptcy proceedings.

         (h) ABSENCE OF LITIGATION. There is no action, suit, proceeding,
inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government
agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company,
the Common Stock or any of the Company's Subsidiaries or any of the Company's or

                                       8
<PAGE>   9

the Company's Subsidiaries' officers or directors in their capacities as such,
which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. A
description of each action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or
by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or
body which, as of the date of this Agreement, is pending or threatened in
writing against or affecting the Company, the Common Stock or any of the
Company's Subsidiaries or any of the Company's or the Company's Subsidiaries'
officers or directors in their capacities as such, is set forth in Schedule
3(h).

         (i) ACKNOWLEDGMENT REGARDING BUYER'S STATUS. The Company acknowledges
and agrees that the Buyer is acting solely in the capacity of arm's length
purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby. The Company further acknowledges that the Buyer
is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any
similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby and any advice given by the Buyer or any of its
representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to the Buyer's
purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to the Buyer that the
Company's decision to enter into the Transaction Documents has been based solely
on the independent evaluation by the Company and its representatives and
advisors.

         (j) NO GENERAL SOLICITATION. Neither the Company, nor any of its
affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any
form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of
Regulation D under the 1933 Act) in connection with the offer or sale of the
Securities.

         (k) NO INTEGRATED OFFERING. Neither the Company, nor any of its
affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or
indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to
buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of any of
the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause this offering of the Securities to be
integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the 1933 Act or
any applicable shareholder approval provisions, including, without limitation,
under the rules and regulations of any exchange or automated quotation system on
which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated, nor will
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries take any action or steps that would
require registration of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause the
offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings.

         (l) DILUTIVE EFFECT. The Company understands and acknowledges that the
number of Purchase Shares purchasable under this Agreement will increase in
certain circumstances. The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to
issue Purchase Shares under this Agreement in accordance with the term and
conditions hereof is absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive
effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other
shareholders of the Company.

         (m) INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. The Company and its Subsidiaries own
or possess adequate rights or licenses to use all material trademarks, trade
names, service marks, service mark registrations, service names, patents, patent
rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, approvals, governmental
authorizations, trade secrets and rights necessary to conduct their respective
businesses as now conducted. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(m), none of the
Company's material trademarks, trade names, service marks, service mark
registrations, service names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions,
licenses, approvals, government authorizations, trade secrets or other
intellectual property rights have expired or terminated, or, by the terms and
conditions thereof, could expire or terminate within two years from the date of
this Agreement. The Company and its Subsidiaries do not have any knowledge of
any infringement by the Company or its Subsidiaries of any material trademark,
trade name rights, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses,
service names, service marks, service mark

                                       9
<PAGE>   10

registrations, trade secret or other similar rights of others, or of any such
development of similar or identical trade secrets or technical information by
others and, except as set forth on Schedule 3(m), there is no claim, action or
proceeding being made or brought against, or to the Company's knowledge, being
threatened against, the Company or its Subsidiaries regarding trademark, trade
name, patents, patent rights, invention, copyright, license, service names,
service marks, service mark registrations, trade secret or other infringement,
which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         (n) ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS. The Company and its Subsidiaries (i) are in
compliance with any and all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws
and regulations relating to the protection of human health and safety, the
environment or hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or
contaminants ("Environmental Laws"), (ii) have received all permits, licenses or
other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct
their respective businesses and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and
conditions of any such permit, license or approval, except where, in each of the
three foregoing clauses, the failure to so comply could not reasonably be
expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

         (o) TITLE. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable
title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable title to all
personal property owned by them which is material to the business of the Company
and its Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and
defects except such as are described in Schedule 3(o) or such as do not
materially affect the value of such property and do not interfere with the use
made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and any of its
Subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company
and any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and
enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere
with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the
Company and its Subsidiaries.

         (p) INSURANCE. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by
insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks
and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and
customary in the businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are
engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has been refused any
insurance coverage sought or applied for and neither the Company nor any such
Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its
existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain
similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its
business at a cost that would not materially and adversely affect the condition,
financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business or operations of the Company
and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

         (q) REGULATORY PERMITS. The Company and its Subsidiaries possess all
material certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate
federal, state or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their
respective businesses, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has
received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of
any such certificate, authorization or permit.

         (r) TAX STATUS. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has made or
filed all federal and state income and all other material tax returns, reports
and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject (unless and
only to the extent that the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has set aside
on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all unpaid and
unreported taxes) and has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and
charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such
returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith
and has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of

                                       10
<PAGE>   11

all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports
or declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed
to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the
Company know of no basis for any such claim.

         (s) TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(s)
and other than the grant or exercise of stock options disclosed on Schedule
3(c), none of the officers, directors, or employees of the Company is presently
a party to any transaction with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other
than for services as employees, officers and directors), including any contract,
agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or
by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise
requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the
knowledge of the Company, any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in
which any officer, director, or any such employee has an interest or is an
officer, director, trustee or partner.

         (t) APPLICATION OF TAKEOVER PROTECTIONS. The Company and its board of
directors have taken or will take prior to the Commencement Date all necessary
action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition,
business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights
agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Certificate of
Incorporation or the laws of the state of its incorporation which is or could
become applicable to the Buyer as a result of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company's issuance of the
Securities and the Buyer's ownership of the Securities.

         (u) FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES. Neither the Company, nor any of its
Subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other person acting
on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has, in the course of its
actions for, or on behalf of, the Company, used any corporate funds for any
unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating
to political activity; made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any
foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds;
violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act of 1977, as amended; or made any unlawful bribe, rebate, payoff,
influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic
government official or employee.

         4. COVENANTS.

         (a) FILING OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT. The Company shall within fifteen
(15) Trading Days from the date hereof file a new registration statement
covering the sale of the Commitment Shares and at least 500,000 Purchase Shares.
The Buyer and its counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and
comment upon such registration statement or amendment to such registration
statement and any related prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC. The
Company shall use its best efforts to have such registration statement or
amendment declared effective by the SEC at the earliest possible date.

         (b) BLUE SKY. The Company shall, on or before the Commencement Date,
take such action, if any, as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary
in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify the Commitment Shares and the
Purchase Shares for sale to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement under
applicable securities or "Blue Sky" laws of the states of the United States, and
shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Buyer on or prior to
the Commencement Date. The Company shall make all filings and reports relating
to the offer and sale of the Commitment Shares and the Purchase Shares required
under applicable securities or "Blue Sky" laws of the states of the United
States following the Commencement Date.

                                       11
<PAGE>   12

         (c) NO VARIABLE PRICED FINANCING. Other than pursuant to this
Agreement, the Company agrees that beginning on the date of this Agreement and
ending on the date of termination of this Agreement (as provided in Section
11(k) hereof), neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, without
the prior written consent of the Buyer, contract for any equity financing
(including any debt financing with an equity component) or issue any equity
securities of the Company or any Subsidiary or securities convertible or
exchangeable into or for equity securities of the Company or any Subsidiary
(including debt securities with an equity component) which, in any case (i) are
convertible into or exchangeable for an indeterminate number of shares of common
stock, (ii) are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock at a price
which varies with the market price of the Common Stock, (iii) provide for any
"re-set" or adjustment of the purchase price, conversion rate or exercise price
after the issuance of the security, or (iv) contain any "make-whole" provision
based upon, directly or indirectly, the market price of the Common Stock after
the issuance of the security, in each case, other than reasonable and customary
anti-dilution adjustments for issuance of shares of Common Stock at a price
which is below the market price of the Common Stock.

         (d) LISTING. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of all of
the Purchase Shares and Commitment Shares upon each national securities exchange
and automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are
then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain, so long
as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all such
securities from time to time issuable under the terms of the Transaction
Documents. The Company shall maintain the Common Stock's authorization for
quotation on the Principal Market. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries shall take any action that would be reasonably expected to result
in the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock on the Principal Market. The
Company shall promptly, and in no event later than the following Trading Day,
provide to the Buyer copies of any notices it receives from the Principal Market
regarding the continued eligibility of the Common Stock for listing on such
automated quotation system or securities exchange. The Company shall pay all
fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this
Section.

         (e) LIMITATION ON SHORT SALES AND HEDGING TRANSACTIONS. The Buyer
agrees that beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the date of
termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 11(k), the Buyer and its
agents, representatives and affiliates shall not in any manner whatsoever enter
into or effect, directly or indirectly, any (i) "short sale" (as such term is
defined in Rule 3b-3 of the 1934 Act) of the Common Stock or (ii) hedging
transaction, which establishes a net short position with respect to the Common
Stock.

          (f) ISSUANCE OF COMMITMENT SHARES; LIMITATION ON SALES OF COMMITMENT
SHARES. The Company has issued to the Buyer 200,000 shares of Common Stock (the
"Commitment Shares"). The Buyer agrees that the Buyer shall not transfer or sell
the Commitment Shares until the earlier of 360 calendar days from the date
hereof or until this Agreement has been terminated, provided, however, that such
restrictions shall not apply: (i) in connection with any transfers to or among
affiliates (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), (ii)
in connection with any pledge in connection with a bona fide loan or margin
account, or (iii) if an Event of Default has occurred, or any event which, after
notice and/or lapse of time, would become an Event of Default, including any
failure by the Company to timely issue Purchase Shares under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Buyer may transfer Commitment Shares to a
third party in order to settle a sale made by the Buyer where the Buyer
reasonably expects the Company to deliver Purchase Shares to the Buyer under
this Agreement so long as the Buyer maintains ownership of the same overall
number of shares of Common Stock by "replacing"

                                       12
<PAGE>   13

the Commitment Shares so transferred with Purchase Shares when the Purchase
Shares are actually issued by the Company to the Buyer.

         (h) DUE DILIGENCE. The Buyer shall have the right, from time to time as
the Buyer may reasonably deem appropriate, to perform reasonable due diligence
on the Company during normal business hours. The Company and its officers and
employees shall reasonably cooperate with the Buyer in connection with any
reasonable request by the Buyer related to the Buyer's due diligence of the
Company.

         (i) RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company shall, so long as any Available
Amount is outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized and
unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the purchase of the
Available Amount, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to
time be sufficient to effect the purchase of the entire remaining Available
Amount, without regard to any restrictions or limitations on purchases.

         5. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.

         All of the Purchase Shares to be issued under this Agreement shall be
issued without any restrictive legend and shall be issued by the Company's
transfer agent via The DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, by
crediting the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Buyer
shall be entitled to the Buyer's or its designee's balance account with The DTC
through The DTC DWAC system. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to
its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue Purchase Shares
in the name of the Buyer or its respective nominee(s), for the Purchase Shares
(the "Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions"). The Company warrants to the
Buyer that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions
referred to in this Section 5, will be given by the Company to its transfer
agent with respect to the Purchase Shares and that the Commitment Shares and the
Purchase Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records
of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement subject to the provisions of Section 4(f) in the
case of the Commitment Shares.

         6. CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY'S OBLIGATION TO COMMENCE

         (g) SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Buyer, including by merger or
consolidation. The Buyer may not assign its rights or obligations under this
Agreement.

         (h) NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement is intended for the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and
assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced
by, any other person.

         (i) PUBLICITY. The Buyer shall have the right to approve before
issuance any press releases or any other public disclosure (including any
filings with the SEC) with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby;
provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled, without the prior
approval of any Buyer, to make any press release or other public disclosure

deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as
the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby.

         (k) TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated only as follows:

                  (i) By the Buyer any time an Event of Default exists without
         any liability or payment to the Company. However, if pursuant to or
         within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law, the Company commences a
         voluntary case or any Person commences a proceeding against the
         Company, a Custodian is appointed for the Company or for all or
         substantially all of its property, or the Company makes a general
         assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (any of which would be an
         Event of Default as described in Sections 9(h), 9(i) and 9(j) hereof)
         this Agreement shall automatically terminate without any liability or
         payment to the Company without further action or notice by any Person.
         No such termination of this Agreement under this Section 11(k)(i) shall
         affect the Company's or the Buyer's obligations under this Agreement
         with respect to pending purchases and the Company and the Buyer shall
         complete their respective obligations with respect to any pending
         purchases under this Agreement.

                  (ii) In the event that the Commencement shall not have
         occurred the Company shall have the option to terminate this Agreement
         for any reason or for no reason without liability of any party to any
         other party.

                  (iii) In the event that the Commencement shall not have
         occurred on or before August 31, 2001, due to the failure to satisfy
         the conditions set forth in Sections 6 and 7 above with respect to the
         Commencement (and the nonbreaching party's failure to waive such
         unsatisfied condition(s)), the nonbreaching party shall have the option
         to terminate this Agreement at the close of business on such date or
         thereafter without liability of any party to any other party.

                  (iv) If by the Maturity Date (including any extension thereof
         by the Company pursuant to Section 10(g) hereof), for any reason or for
         no reason the full Available Amount under this Agreement has not been

                                       22
<PAGE>   23

         purchased as provided for in Section 1 of this Agreement, by the Buyer
         without any liability or payment to the Company.

                  (v) At any time after the Commencement Date the Company shall
         have the option to terminate this Agreement for any reason or for no
         reason by delivering notice (a "Company Termination Notice") to the
         Buyer electing to terminate this Agreement without any liability or
         payment to the Buyer. The Company Termination Notice shall not be
         effective until three (3) Trading Days after it has been received by
         the Buyer.

                  (vi) This Agreement shall automatically terminate on the date
         that the Company sells and the Buyer purchases Six Million Dollars
         ($6,000,000) of Common Stock as provided herein, without any action or
         notice on the part of any party.

Except as set forth in Sections 11(k)(i) and 11(k)(vi), any termination of this
Agreement pursuant to this Section 11(k) shall be effected by written notice
from the Company to the Buyer, or the Buyer to the Company, as the case may be,
setting forth the basis for the termination hereof. The representations and
warranties of the Company and the Buyer contained in Sections 2 and 3 hereof,
the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 8 hereof and the agreements
and covenants set forth in Section 1(g) and 11, shall survive the Commencement
and any termination of this Agreement.

         (l) NO FINANCIAL ADVISOR, PLACEMENT AGENT, BROKER OR FINDER. The
Company represents and warrants to the Buyer that it has not engaged any
financial advisor, placement agent, broker or finder in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby. The Buyer represents and warrants to the
Company that it has not engaged any financial advisor, placement agent, broker
or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company
shall be responsible for the payment of any fees or commissions, if any, of any
financial advisor, placement agent, broker or finder relating to or arising out
of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall pay, and hold the
Buyer harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees and out of pocket expenses) arising in connection
with any such claim.

         (m) NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION. The language used in this Agreement is the
language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of
strict construction will be applied against any party.

         (n) REMEDIES, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The
Buyer's remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition
to all other remedies available to the Buyer under this Agreement, at law or in
equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive
relief), no remedy of the Buyer contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of
compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein
shall limit the Buyer's right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the
Company to comply with the terms of this Agreement. The Company acknowledges
that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to
the Buyer and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The
Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened
breach, the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available
remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of
showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

         (o) CHANGES TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. This Agreement and any
provision hereof may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed by the
Company and the Buyer. The term

                                       23
<PAGE>   24

"Agreement" and all reference thereto, as used throughout this instrument, shall
mean this instrument as originally executed, or if later amended or
supplemented, then as so amended or supplemented.

         (p) ENFORCEMENT COSTS. If: (i) this Agreement is placed by the Buyer in
the hands of an attorney for enforcement or is enforced by the Buyer through any
legal proceeding; or (ii) an attorney is retained to represent the Buyer in any
bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceedings affecting
creditors' rights and involving a claim under this Agreement; or (iii) an
attorney is retained to represent the Buyer in any other proceedings whatsoever
in connection with this Agreement, then the Company shall pay to the Buyer, as
incurred by the Buyer, all reasonable costs and expenses including attorneys'
fees incurred in connection therewith, in addition to all other amounts due
hereunder.

         (q) FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER. No failure or delay in the
exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or
privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right,
power or privilege.

                                    * * * * *

                                    EXHIBIT B

                         FORM OF COMPANY COUNSEL OPINION

         Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein, have the meaning
set forth in the Amended and Restated Common Stock Purchase Agreement. Based on
the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth
herein, we are of the opinion that:

1.   The Company is a corporation existing and in good standing under the laws
     of the State of Nevada.

2.   The Company has the corporate power to execute and deliver, and perform its
     obligations under, each Transaction Document to which it is a party. The
     Company has the corporate power to conduct its business as, to the best of
     our knowledge, it is now conducted, and to own and use the properties owned
     and used by it.

3.   The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction
     Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary
     corporate action on the part of the Company. The execution and delivery of
     the Transaction Documents by the Company, the performance of the
     obligations of the Company thereunder and the consummation by it of the
     transactions contemplated therein have been duly authorized and approved by
     the Company's Board of Directors and no further consent, approval or
     authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders is
     required. The Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party have
     been duly executed and delivered by the Company and are the valid and
     binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in
     accordance with their terms except as such enforceability may be limited by
     general principals of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
     liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting creditor's rights and
     remedies.

4.   The issuance and sale of the Commitment Shares and the Purchase Shares
     pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Common
     Stock Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized. 500,000 shares of Common
     Stock have been properly reserved for issuance as Purchase Shares in
     accordance with the Amended and Restated Common Stock Purchase Agreement.
     The Commitment Shares have been issued in accordance with the Amended and
     Restated Common Stock Purchase Agreement and are validly issued, fully paid
     and non-assessable and free of all taxes, liens, charges, restrictions,
     rights of first refusal and preemptive rights. When issued and paid for in
     accordance with the Amended and Restated Common Stock Purchase Agreement,
     the Purchase Shares shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
     and free of all taxes, liens, charges, restrictions, rights of first
     refusal and preemptive rights. To our knowledge, the execution and delivery
     of the Registration Rights Agreement do not, and the performance by the
     Company of its obligations thereunder shall not, give rise to any rights of
     any other person for the registration under the Securities Act of any
     shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company which have not
     been waived.

5.   The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction
     Documents, the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated
     thereby including the offering, sale and issuance of the Commitment Shares
     and the Purchase Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
     Amended and Restated Common Stock Purchase Agreement, and fulfillment and
     compliance with terms of the Transaction Documents, does not and shall not:
     (i) conflict with, constitute a breach of or default (or an event which,
     with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both,

<PAGE>   30

     constitutes or could constitute a breach or a default), under (a) the
     Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company, (b) any material
     agreement, note, lease, mortgage, deed or other material instrument to
     which to our knowledge the Company is a party or by which the Company or
     any of its assets are bound, (ii) result in any violation of any statute,
     law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company, or (iii) to our
     knowledge, violate any order, writ, injunction or decree applicable to the
     Company or any of its subsidiaries.

6.   As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists
     of (i) ___________ shares of Common Stock, par value $_____ per share, of
     which to our knowledge ___________ shares are issued and outstanding, and
     (ii) ________ shares of preferred stock, par value $_____ per share of
     which to our knowledge ________ shares are issued and outstanding. Except
     as set forth on Schedule 3(c) of the Amended and Restated Common Stock
     Purchase Agreement, to our knowledge, there are no outstanding shares of
     capital stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable or
     exercisable for shares of the capital stock of the Company.

7.   The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange
     Act. To our knowledge, since January 1, 1999, the Company has been in
     compliance with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable
     to it. To our knowledge, since January 1, 1999, the Company has not
     received any written notice from the Principal Market stating that the
     Company has not been in compliance with any of the rules and regulations
     (including the requirements for continued listing) of the Principal Market.

8.   Other then which has been obtained and completed prior to the date hereof,
     no authorization, approval, consent, filing or other order of any federal
     or state governmental body, regulatory agency, self-regulatory organization
     or stock exchange or market, or the shareholders of the Company, or any
     court, or, to our knowledge, any third party, is required to be obtained by
     the Company to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction
     Documents or for the issuance and sale of the Commitment Shares or the
     Purchase Shares as contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

         We further advise you that to our knowledge, except as disclosed on
Schedule 3(h) in the Amended and Restated Common Stock Purchase Agreement, there
is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court,
public board or body, any governmental agency, any stock exchange or market, or
self-regulatory organization, which has been threatened in writing or which is
currently pending against the Company, any of its subsidiaries, any officers or
directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of the properties of
the Company or any of its subsidiaries which could have a material adverse
affect on the Company.

         In addition, we have participated in the preparation of the
Registration Statement (SEC File #________) covering the sale of the Purchase
Shares and the Commitment Shares including the prospectus dated ____________,
contained therein and in conferences with officers and other representatives of
the Company (including the Company's independent auditors) during which the
contents of the Registration Statement and related matters were discussed and
reviewed and, although we are not passing upon and do not assume any
responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements
contained in the Registration Statement, on the basis of the information that
was developed in the course of the performance of the services referred to
above, considered in the light of our understanding of the applicable law,
nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the Registration
Statement (other than the financial statements and schedules and the other
financial and statistical data included therein, as to which we express no
belief), as of their dates, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.

                                   LITIGATION

A. PENDING MATTERS:

With the exception of litigation in the ordinary course of business, the Company
has no other litigation pending, or to its knowledge, threatened other than as
specifically set forth below.

1. CLEAN EARTH, INC. V. VINCENT IULIANO AND NEW ENGLAND WHOLESALE TRUCK. This
matter was filed by the Company against Mr. Iuliano on June 9, 2000 alleging
usurpation of corporate opportunity, damages from unauthorized taking of
corporate assets, and seeking a declaratory ruling against Mr. Iuliano with
respect to his non-competition provisions of his Employment Agreement. Mr.
Iuliano was terminated from employment with the Company for cause in April 2000.
Mr. Iuliano was employed as the General Manager of Clean Rock Industries, Inc.,
a subsidiary of the Company. A Settlement Agreement was reached upholding the
non-compete provisions of the Employment Agreement and prohibiting Mr. Iuliano
from defaming or harassing the Company. Mr. Iuliano has violated the Settlement
Agreement so we have provided notice that the shares held in escrow from the
acquisition of CRI will not be released. This action has resulted in an
arbitration proceeding regarding the disposition of the escrow shares. We have
filed a counterclaim in the arbitration action for damages relative to breach of
the Settlement Agreement and defamation.

2. INTEGRATED TECHNICAL SERVICES, INC. V. PUGMILL SYSTEMS, INC. We filed our
Complaint in this matter in early March, 1999. It involves over $300,000 in
damages we allege were sustained by our subsidiary, Integrated Technical
Services, Inc. due to the failure of equipment manufactured by Pugmill Systems,
Inc. to perform to the specifications represented to the Company relative to the
Company's handling and processing of dredge material. We will aggressively seek
to recover our actual damages of $9,000 and consequential damages of $300,000.
Pugmill claims it does not owe consequential damages under contract. Discovery
is on-going. Settlement negotiations are likely but have not yet been set.

3. BECKER VS. CLEAN EARTH, ET AL. This matter was filed in the Common Pleas
Court of Philadelphia on April 17, 2001. It has named 7 defendants, several of
which are subsidiaries of Clean Earth, alleging negligence relative to
performance of work at the Stanley Flagg facility. Mr. Becker fell off a roof at
that facility and died. Mr. Becker was not an employee of the company but worked
for a subcontractor hired by the company. Mr. Becker was not wearing his safety
harness when he fell. The Company will file an Answer to the Complaint denying
the allegations being made. The Company has submitted this matter to its
insurance carrier for defense.

4. EGINIZA VS. INTEGRATED TECHNICAL SERVICES, INC. This matter was filed in the
Superior Court of New Jersey in July 2000 and is the result of an automobile
accident in which the plaintiff died. The driver of the automobile which caused
the accident was an employee of our subsidiary, Integrated Technical Services,
Inc. The automobile involved in the accident was not owned by the Company. This
matter has been submitted to our insurance carrier for defense.

5. There are numerous mattes in which S & Waste Inc. was named as a PRP in
several cases dating back ten years or more. The vast majority of those case
have been settled. A few remain. See Case Status report of Mark Cohen dated June
2000.

6. ROA V. MAGNETIC SEPARATORS V. USPL: Brought in Chicago as a result of a
personal injury Roa sustained in 1995 while operating a conveyor manufactured by
defendant. USPL anticipates it will be covered by our insurance carrier, but
initial investigation appears to support conclusion that Roa was entirely
negligent as he put his hand, intentionally, into the debaling unit for no
apparent reason and the equipment had all appropriate safety mechanisms attached
and in full working order. We will be filing a Motion for Summary Judgment to
dismiss the case.

7. FRONTIER RECYCLING: USPL is seeking to bring an action against an Engineer
who designed our plant and

<PAGE>   43

production capacity expansion in a very poor manner causing substantial delays
and cost overruns. USPL is seeking credits for equipment not needed nor
functioning appropriately. USPL paid Frontier $2.7 million and balance claimed
by Frontier is $300,000. USPL has refused to pay balance as much of the
equipment never worked to specifications designed and many items of equipment
were never delivered, although USPL was billed for them. USPL records reveal
approximately half million dollars of equipment was never delivered so that
rather than USPL owing any money to Frontier, it appears from the discovery that
Frontier owes USPL money. Litigation has been filed in this matter by a third
party vendor against Frontier, who then joined USPL as a third party defendant.
USPL will counterclaim that all money has been paid to Frontier and that, in
fact, Frontier has been overpaid by USPL. We will defend this matter vigorously.

8. USPL VS. BAILEY: We filed a lawsuit against Bailey claiming theft of goods
from USPL by former manager of USPL location in CA. Approximate value of
material: $250,000. Bailey has filed a counterclaim for wrongful discharge of
employment, defamation, breach of contract, invasion of privacy, and emotional
distress. We will be vigorous in our defense of the counterclaim.

9. BERNAL VS. EAGLEBROOK PRODUCTS, INC. This action was filed in the common
please court of Montgomery County, Ohio on April 19, 2001 seeking $25,000 in
damages for defective SmartDeck product. We have inspected the deck and believe
the problem is poor installation by the contractor and not a problem with our
product. We will file an Answer defending our position.

10. USPL VS. AMERICAN COMPOSITE: No action has been filed, but USPL is
researching a possible infringement action against its structural plastic lumber
patent. Material is being ordered for lab testing to determine likelihood of
success of infringement action.

11. HERZOG VS. USPL: Action filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey on January
29, 2001. Claim is for less than $50,000. Claim is based upon breach of
warranty. Plastic deck was purchased from RPI in 1996, a company subsequently
merged into USPL. Claim alleges the plastic deck has faded and plaintiff seeks
damages for breach of an express warranty by RPI and its distributor at the time
of sale that said product would not fade. Our experts have inspected the deck
and find no problems. We will vigorously defend.

12. SOUTHERN WOOD SERVICES V. USPL. We executed a contract with Southern Wood
Services in 2000 to provide woodflour whereby Southern Wood Services will claim
it was a "take or pay" contract. They currently provide sawdust as a feedstock
for our SmartDeck manufacturing process in Ocala, FL. Their woodflour operation
was delayed in construction and start-up. They will claim that Southern Wood
Services built this plant in reliance upon our contract. We still purchase
sawdust from Southern Wood Services despite the dispute on woodflour. They are
seeking to try to force us to purchase woodflour in lieu of the sawdust. We no
longer need the woodflour as we have purchased capital equipment in Ocala to
allow us to use the sawdust in lieu of the woodflour. Sawdust is a much less
expensive raw material. Our claim is that the contract was breached by Southern
Wood Services by their failure to become operational by October 2000 as required
in the contract, therefore we needed to mitigate our damages by transforming our
operation to handle sawdust. An arbitration action has been filed by Southern
Wood Services seeking $3.3 million in damages. We will vigorously defend this
action.

13. DIESEL ENTERPRISES V. USPL. This action was filed on April 26, 2001. It is a
claim for approximately $40,000 for trucking services to USPL. We will
vigorously defend this matter claiming we were overcharged and improperly
billed.

14. RAM ASSETS VS. USPL. Our landlord in Chicago has filed an eviction action in
Municipal Court of Chicago on or about May 4, 2001. They claim that USPL is in
default of the Lease for the following reasons: (i) failure to pay rent by the
first day of the month on three occasions during the last 12 months, (ii)
failure to maintain the property with respect to a water tower which was a
dangerous condition, and (iii) allowing a construction lien on the property.
USPL and its outside counsel believe the eviction action is completely
unmeritorious and is designed solely as a strategy to increase the amount of
money USPL is required to pay the landlord for exercising the option on the
property. USPL has invested $3 million in real estate improvements to the
property and has an agreement to do a sale/leaseback on the property for $14.9
million. The option purchase price is $3 million. USPL has never failed to pay

<PAGE>   44

rent in any month, albeit not by the first day of the month, but there is no
language in the lease that requires the rent be paid on or about the first day
of the month. With respect to the water tower issue, as soon as USPL had
knowledge of issues relative to the water tower condition, USPL sought
permission from the landlord to dismantle the water tower. Once written
permission was received, USPL immediately dismantled the water tower. During
this time, USPL determined that the landlord was familiar with the dangerous
condition of the water tower dating back to 1993, 1996 and 1997 when the
landlord had retained engineers to review the condition of the water tower. None
of these engineering reports or conditions of the water tower were disclosed to
USPL prior to entering into the Chicago lease. With respect to the construction
lien, the general contractor in charge of the $3 million plant improvement on
the property had filed a construction lien in the fall of 2000 without the
knowledge or consent of USPL. In April 2001, when the landlord requested the
lien be removed from the property, USPL was able to get the general contractor
to remove the lien within three days of notification by the landlord. USPL will
vigorously defend this matter and believes there is a very substantial
likelihood of success on the merits. In addition, USPL is preparing a Complaint
to be filed against the landlord for tortious interference, breach of fiduciary
duty (the landlord was formerly President of USPL Ltd and was terminated by the
Company for failure to effectively manage that division), fraudulent
misrepresentation, and other potential causes of action.

Although, USPL will likely succeed in the eviction action, the litigation may
cause a delay or inability of USPL to close on either the Chicago sale/leaseback
transaction or the Halifax transaction.

The Company has not established any reserves on its Balance Sheet as a result of
any of the above pending litigation.

B. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE CLAIMS:

1. CTI from New York DOS - approximately $500,000. Met with account executive in
NYDOS and informed that claim is being processed.

2. Quakertown - claim has been submitted to PA DEP in the approximate amount of
$6 million. Settlement discussions are on-going.

3. Howland Hook - Intent to file claim has been filed. Approximately $1.1
million. Claim will probably be filed within next few weeks.

4. Reaches B, C & D - Notice of claim has been filed. Approximately $300,000.

5. Flagg Brass Industrial: Claim has been made for approximately $97,000. Flagg
has refused to pay alleging that ITS owes an indemnity obligation back to Flagg
as a result of DEP issues that Flagg has incurred with PA DEP. The PA DEP has
issued an Order and Civil Penalty Assessment against Flagg. Our claim is that we
completed all work in accordance with specifications and that issues between
Flagg and DEP are not related to any work performed by ITS. Lien has been placed
on property.

6. Penny & R: Approximately $500,000. We filed Complaint. Discovery is
undergoing. We are aggressively seeking to collect. However, one of the
defendants, American Appliance, recently filed Chapter 11 Reorganization.
American Appliance is not related to Penny & R, except as a customer. As a
result of Bankruptcy action, and automatic stay is in place so we are now
requesting permission from the Bankruptcy court to proceed with our litigation
against the non-related defendants that are not a part of the Bankruptcy action.

7. 1113 Building Group: Claim for $113,000. We filed lien. Seeking to collect.
Property has been sold so we expect to collect at closing, perhaps within 30
days.

8. Goldman Sachs: USPL has a claim for approximately $1 million. Notice has been
provided. Claim report has not been submitted yet. Likely to negotiate a
settlement once claim is filed. Claim should be ready in next few weeks.

practicable, but in any event not later than ten (10) Trading Days after the
necessity therefor arises. The Company shall use it best efforts to cause such
amendment and/or New Registration Statement to become effective as soon as
practicable following the filing thereof. The Investor and its counsel shall
have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon any such amendment
and/or New Registration Statement prior to its filing with the SEC. The Investor
shall use its reasonable best efforts to comment upon any such amendment and/or
New Registration Statement within two (2) Trading Days from the date the

         With respect to the Registration Statement and whenever any Registrable
Securities are to be registered pursuant to Section 2(b) including on any New

effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the
intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall
have the following obligations:

                                      -2-
<PAGE>   3

                  a. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to any
registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such
registration statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424
promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep the Registration
Statement or any New Registration Statement effective at all times during the
Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the
1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the
Company covered by the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement
until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed
of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or
sellers thereof as set forth in such registration statement.

                  b. The Company shall permit the Investor to review and comment
upon the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement and all
amendments and supplements thereto at least two (2) Trading Days prior to their
filing with the SEC, and not file any document in a form to which Investor
reasonably objects to in writing. The Investor shall use its reasonable best
efforts to comment in writing upon the Registration Statement or any New
Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto within two (2)
Trading Days from the date the Investor receives the final version thereof. The
Company shall furnish to the Investor, without charge any correspondence from
the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating
to the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement.

                  c. The Company shall furnish to the Investor, (i) promptly
after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one copy of such
registration statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial
statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference and
all exhibits, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any registration statement, ten
(10) copies of the prospectus included in such registration statement and all
amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as the
Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including
copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as the Investor may reasonably
request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the
Registrable Securities owned by the Investor.

                  d. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to (i)
register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a registration
statement under such other securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions
in the United States as the Investor reasonably requests, (ii) prepare and file
in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments)
and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to
maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take
such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and
qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv)
take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the
Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition
thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not
otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself
to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to
service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify
the Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of
any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or
qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities
or "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of
actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such
purpose.

                  e. As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such
event or facts, the Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the
happening of any event or existence of such facts as a result of which the

                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4

prospectus included in any registration statement, as then in effect, includes
an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and
promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such registration statement to
correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver ten (10) copies of such
supplement or amendment to the Investor (or such other number of copies as the
Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify the
Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a registration statement or
any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such
effectiveness shall be delivered to the Investor by facsimile on the same day of
such effectiveness and by overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC for
amendments or supplements to any registration statement or related prospectus or
related information, and (iii) of the Company's reasonable determination that a
post-effective amendment to a registration statement would be appropriate.

                  f. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to
prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of
any registration statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any
Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or
suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at
the earliest possible moment and to notify the Investor of the issuance of such
order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the
initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

                  g. The Company shall (i) cause all the Registrable Securities
to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class
or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such
Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or
(ii) secure designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities on the
Nasdaq SmallCap System. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in
connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section.

                  h. The Company shall cooperate with the Investor to facilitate
the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive
legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to any
registration statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations
or amounts as the Investor may reasonably request and registered in such names
as the Investor may request.

                  i. The Company shall at all times provide a transfer agent and
registrar with respect to its Common Stock.

                  j. If reasonably requested by the Investor, the Company shall
(i) immediately incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment such information as the Investor believes should be included therein
relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including,
without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable
Securities being sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other
terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities; (ii) make all required
filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as
notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any
registration statement.

                  k. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause
the Registrable Securities covered by the any registration statement to be

                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5

registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities
as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities.

                  l. Within one (1) Trading Day after any registration statement
which includes the Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the
Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver,
to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the
Investor) confirmation that such registration statement has been declared
effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A.

                  m. The Company shall take all other reasonable actions
necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investor of Registrable
Securities pursuant to any registration statement.

         4.       OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTOR.

                  a. The Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the
information the Company reasonably requires from the Investor in connection with
any registration statement hereunder. The Investor shall furnish to the Company
such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the
intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall
be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities
and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the
Company may reasonably request.

                  b. The Investor agrees to cooperate with the Company as
reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and
filing of any registration statement hereunder.

                  c. The Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from
the Company of the happening of any event or existence of facts of the kind
described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e), the Investor will
immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any
registration statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until the
Investor's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus
contemplated by Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to promptly
deliver shares of Common Stock without any restrictive legend in accordance with
the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable
Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for
sale prior to the Investor's receipt of a notice from the Company of the
happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first
sentence of 3(e) and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

         5.       EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.

                  All reasonable expenses, other than sales or brokerage
commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or
qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all
registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, and
fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be paid by the Company.

         6.       INDEMNIFICATION.

                  a. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will,
and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investor, each Person,
if any, who controls the Investor, the members, the directors, officers,
partners, employees, agents, representatives of the Investor and each Person, if
any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the

                                      -5-

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 ACT") (each, an
"INDEMNIFIED PERSON"), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities,
judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, attorneys' fees, amounts paid in
settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, "CLAIMS") incurred in
investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry,
proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any
court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the
SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or
may be a party thereto ("INDEMNIFIED DAMAGES"), to which any of them may become
subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or
threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration
Statement, any New Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the
offering under the securities or other "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction in
which Registrable Securities are offered ("BLUE SKY FILING"), or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such registration
statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if
the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or
the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to
make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the
statements therein were made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged
violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law,
including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or
regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any New Registration
Statement or (iv) any material violation of this Agreement (the matters in the
foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, "VIOLATIONS"). The
Company shall reimburse each Indemnified Person promptly as such expenses are
incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable
expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such
Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to
a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which
occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing
to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with
the preparation of the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or
any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely
made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c); (ii) with respect to any
preliminary prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any such person from
whom the person asserting any such Claim purchased the Registrable Securities
that are the subject thereof (or to the benefit of any person controlling such
person) if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the
preliminary prospectus was corrected in the prospectus, as then amended or
supplemented, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company
pursuant to Section 3(c), and the Indemnified Person was promptly advised in
writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a
violation and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it;
(iii) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of
the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made
available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the
Company pursuant to Section 3(c); and (iv) shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written
consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of
the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.

                  b. In connection with the Registration Statement or any New
Registration Statement, the Investor agrees to severally and not jointly
indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner
as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its

                                      -6-
<PAGE>   7

officers who signs the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement,
each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act
or the 1934 Act (collectively and together with an Indemnified Person, an
"INDEMNIFIED PARTY"), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of
them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar
as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any
Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such
Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in connection with
such registration statement; and, subject to Section 6(d), the Investor will
reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection
with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the
indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with
respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid
in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior
written consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under
this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does
not exceed the net proceeds to the Investor as a result of the sale of
Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. Such indemnity
shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or
on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the
Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.

                  c. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any
action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving
a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in
respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section
6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement
thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and,
to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof
with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified
Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own
counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in
the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the
representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any
other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in
connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the
indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information
reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which
relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the
status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No
indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or
proceeding effected without its written consent, provided, however, that the
indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its
consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term
thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or
litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the
indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations
relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to
deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any
liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6,
except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to
defend such action.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>   8

                  d. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be
made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the
investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages
are incurred.

                  e. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in
addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any
liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

         7.       CONTRIBUTION.

                  To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is
prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum
contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable
under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that:
(i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable
Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by
such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

         8.       REPORTS AND DISCLOSURE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACTS.

                  With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits
of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or
regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investor to sell
securities of the Company to the public without registration ("RULE 144"), the
Company agrees to:

                  a. make and keep public information available, as those terms
are understood and defined in Rule 144;

                  b. file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as
the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports
and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

                  c. furnish to the Investor so long as the Investor owns
Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the
Company that it has complied with the reporting and or disclosure provisions of
Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual
or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed
by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested
to permit the Investor to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without
registration.

         9.       ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

                  The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically
assignable by the Investor to any transferee of all or any portion of
Registrable Securities if: (i) the Investor agrees in writing with the
transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is
furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment; (ii)
the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment,
furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or
assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights
are being transferred or assigned; (iii) immediately following such transfer or
assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or
assignee is restricted under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws;
(iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated
by clause (ii) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing
with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein; and (v)
such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable
requirements of the Master Facility Agreement.

         10.      AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

                  Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance
thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company
and the Investor.

         11.      MISCELLANEOUS.

                  a. A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities
whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable
Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or
elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable
Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or
election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.

                  b. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications
required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in

irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being

Re: [__________]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          We are counsel to U.S. Plastic Lumber Corp., a Nevada corporation (the
"COMPANY"), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain
Amended and Restated Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT")
entered into by and among the Company and Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC (the
"HOLDER") pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue to the Holder up to
Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.0001
per share (the "COMMON STOCK") (the "PURCHASE SHARES"), in accordance with the
terms of the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) the Company issued to the Holder
200,000 shares of Common Stock (the "COMMITMENT Shares"). Pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights
Agreement with the Holder (the "REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT") pursuant to
which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the Purchase Shares
and the Commitment Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act"). In connection with the Company's obligations under the Purchase
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, on _____________, the Company
filed a Registration Statement (File No. 333-_____________) (the "REGISTRATION
STATEMENT") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") relating to
the sale of the Purchase Shares and the Commitment Shares.

          In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the
SEC's staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order
declaring the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME
OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and we have no knowledge,
after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC's staff, that any stop order
suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that
purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Purchase Shares
and the Commitment Shares are available for sale under the 1933 Act pursuant to
the Registration Statement.

          The Buyer has confirmed it shall comply with all securities laws and
regulations applicable to it including applicable prospectus delivery
requirements upon sale of the Commitment Shares or the Purchase Shares.

                                                     Very truly yours,

                                                     [Company Counsel]
