         THIS CONSULTING AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of the 5th day of
January,  1998, by and between CYNTECH  TECHNOLOGIES,  INC., a Utah  corporation
(the "Company"), and R. FRANK MEYER (the "Consultant").

                                    Recitals

         A. The Company is engaged in the business of developing  and ultimately
operating facilities that use the Cyntech process to recycle waste materials and
to produce  marketable  petrochemical  fuel  products,  carbon black,  and scrap
steel.

         B.  Consultant  has  expertise  in areas that will be of benefit to the
Company.

         C. The Company  desires to procure  the  services  of  Consultant,  and
Consultant desires to provide services to the Company.

                                    Agreement

         NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

         1.  Engagement.  The Company  hereby agrees to engage  Consultant,  and
Consultant hereby agrees to be engaged by the Company,  effective as of the date
set forth  above,  on the terms and  conditions  hereinafter  set forth.  If the
Company and  Consultant  enter into an  employment  agreement  that provides for
Consultant to be employed by the Company on a full-time  basis,  this Consulting
Agreement shall be extinguished automatically by the execution of the employment
agreement.

         2. Position and Duties.  Consultant shall assist the Company by serving
as the chief  consultant and advisor to the board,  with the title of President.
In so doing,  Consultant  shall  manage  all  research  and  development,  plant
construction,  and operations of the Company and shall provide other services as
may be reasonably  requested by the Company. If the Company and Consultant agree
that Consultant will also serve as a director of the Company, Consultant will be
compensated for that service separately on the same terms as other board members
and not  pursuant  to this  Agreement.  In  performing  his  duties  under  this
Consulting Agreement, Consultant shall:

         a) devote so much of his time as is reasonably necessary to perform the
assigned duties and obligations under this Agreement;

         b) use his best efforts to manage the research and  development,  plant
construction, and operations of the Company;

         c)  periodically  report  to  and  consult  with  the  board  and  such
individuals  and  committees  as may be designated by the board and attend board
meetings as required; and

         d)  act in good faith and with reasonable diligence.

         3. Term of Engagement.  This Consulting  Agreement shall extend for the
ten-year  period  ending  December  31,  2007,  at which  time  this  Consulting
Agreement shall automatically convert to a month-to-month basis.  Consultant and
the Company  acknowledge  and agree that this  engagement  may be  terminated by
either party,  at any time,  with 60 days'  notice,  for no reason or any reason

                                       1

whatsoever.  See paragraph 5,  however,  for the  circumstances  under which the
Company may be required to compensate Consultant following termination.

         4. Compensation.  Consultant shall be paid a consulting fee of $200 per
hour, with the fee for each month of services  payable on the fifth business day
of the following  month. The Company agrees that each calendar month it will pay
Consultant  a minimum  sum  equal to that  which  would be earned by  Consultant
working  60 hours  per  calendar  month.  Additionally,  the  Company  shall pay
Consultant  his hourly  rate for each hour worked  beyond 60 hours per  calendar
month.  Past due  amounts  shall be  subject to  interest  at the  maximum  rate
permitted  under  Georgia  law.  Consultant  has agreed to permit the Company to
defer  payment of  consulting  fees due to him until the  Company  has  received
sufficient funds from its sale of common stock to pay current operating expenses
due others.

         5.  Reimbursement.  The  Company  shall pay for  reasonable  travel and
client  entertainment  expenses and shall  reimburse  Consultant  for reasonable
out-of-pocket  expenses  incurred by Consultant while on Company  business.  The
Company shall also reimburse Consultant for:

         a) Up to two  vehicles,  for which the total  base lease cost shall not
exceed $1000 per month. If Consultant  retains a staff member,  Consultant shall
be reimbursed  for a vehicle for such staff member at an amount not to exceed an
additional $250 per month.

         b)  All  fuel,  maintenance,  repairs,  insurance,  taxes,  title,  and
registration for the vehicles identified in paragraph 4(a) herein;

         c) Office  rent in an  amount  not to exceed  $500 per  month,  whether
Consultant  rents office space or designates a suitable portion of his residence
for such purposes; and

         d) All  medical  and  dental  expenses  incurred  for  Consultant,  his
immediate  family living at home,  and all of his children  under the age of 26,
regardless of whether they reside with  Consultant,  if the Company is unable to
provide full medical and dental insurance for Consultant.

         6. Termination. Termination shall be effective as of the date specified
in the  notice  of  termination.  All  accrued  obligations  existing  as of the
effective date of termination shall survive termination.  Additionally,  if this
Consulting Agreement is terminated prior to December 31, 2007:

         a) by  the  Company  for  any  reason  other  than  Consultant's  gross
negligence, willful misconduct, or illegal acts;

         b) by either the Company or Consultant  because Consultant is unable to
work by  reason  of  death  or  complete  and  total  disability  (subject  to a
confirming medical examination by a doctor acceptable to both Consultant and the
Company); or

         c) by Consultant,  if Consultant resigns as a consultant to the Company
because of significant changes in the Company's  management or its policies that
are  unacceptable  to  Consultant;   then  the  Company  shall  pay  Consultant,
commencing  upon the effective date of the  termination  and continuing  through
December 31, 2007, at the rate of $150,000 per year, payable on a monthly basis.

         7.   Noncompetition.   Consultant   acknowledges   that  the  Company's
development  efforts are national in scope and that its business is not confined
to any  particular  geographical  area of the  United  States.  Consultant  also
acknowledges  that the  business  the  Company  does with its clients is heavily
dependent on the personal relationship  established by the Company's Consultants
with such  clients.  Accordingly,  during the term of this  Agreement  and for a

                                       2
<PAGE>

period of two years  thereafter,  Consultant  hereby covenants and agrees not to
compete  directly  with the  Company  individually  or as a  director,  officer,
consultant,  shareholder,  record  or  beneficially  owner  of 5% or more of the
stock, general partner,  managing member or other principal of any business,  in
the  solicitation  or  servicing  in or  through  any  medium of  communication,
including the Internet,  of the  advertising or marketing needs of any person or
firm who or which is  engaged or  propose  to engage in the  recycling  of waste
products and production of petrochemical  fuel products,  carbon black, or scrap
steel,  or who or which is a vendor or  customer  of the  Company at the time of
termination  of this  Agreement or who or which has been a vendor or customer of
the Company during the prior two years.  Consultant also agrees during such time
period not to solicit any employees or other consultants of the Company for hire
in a business that  competes with the Company.  In the event a court should find
that this noncompetition provision is unreasonable in time or geographical scope
or in any other way, the court shall have the authority to modify this provision
to the extent  necessary to render it  reasonable in time or scope or such other
way rather  than  invalidating  the entire  provision.  The  provisions  of this
paragraph will survive any termination of this Agreement.

         8.  Equitable  Relief.  Consultant  acknowledges  that  any  breach  or
threatened  breach or alleged breach or threatened  alleged breach by Consultant
of any of the provisions of Paragraph 6 herein can cause irreparable harm to the
Company or its  subsidiaries or affiliates,  for which the Company would have no
adequate  remedy at law.  In the event of a breach  or  threatened  breach or an
alleged  breach  or  alleged  threatened  breach  by  Consultant  of  any of the
provisions of paragraph 6 herein, the Company,  in addition to any and all other
rights  and  remedies  it may  have  under  this  Agreement  or  otherwise,  may
immediately  seek any judicial  action  which the Company may deem  necessary or
advisable  including,   without  limitation,  the  obtaining  of  temporary  and
preliminary injunctive relief.

         9.  Limitation  of  Liability.  Consultant  shall  not be liable to the
Company under any circumstances  unless a court of competent  jurisdiction or an
arbitrator  agreed  to by  both  Consultant  and  the  Company  determines  that
Consultant  has breached  his duties to the Company as a result of  Consultant's
gross negligence, willful misconduct, or illegal acts.

         10.  Indemnification.  The Company shall indemnify  Consultant and hold
Consultant harmless against all claims,  losses,  damages,  costs, expenses, and
reasonable  attorneys'  fees  arising  from  Consultant's  services  under  this
Consultant Agreement,  unless a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitrator
agreed to by both  Consultant  and the Company  determines  that  Consultant has
breached his duties to the Company as a result of Consultant's gross negligence,
willful misconduct, or illegal acts.

         11. Consultant Independent Contractor.  Consultant is engaged under the
terms of this Agreement as an independent  contractor,  and nothing herein shall
be construed as creating an employer/employee  relationship between the parties.
Consultant  shall be solely  liable  for the  payment  of any taxes  imposed  or
arising out of the payment of compensation to Consultant under this Agreement.

         12. Benefit and Nonassignability. This Agreement may not be assigned by
Consultant and may not be assigned by the Company except pursuant to a merger or
other  corporate  reorganization  in  which  control  of  the  resulting  entity
continues  to be held by persons now  controlling  the Company.  This  Agreement
shall  inure to the  benefit  of and be  binding  upon  the  parties  and  their
respective legal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns.

         13.  Notice.  Any  notice,  demand,  request,  or  other  communication
permitted  or  required  under this  Agreement  shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been given if personally  served;  if transmitted by facsimile if
receipt is  confirmed by the  facsimile  operator of the  recipient;  if sent by

         NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

         1.  Engagement.  The Company  hereby agrees to engage  Consultant,  and
Consultant hereby agrees to be engaged by the Company,  effective as of the date
set forth  above,  on the terms and  conditions  hereinafter  set forth.  If the
Company and  Consultant  enter into an  employment  agreement  that provides for

         c) periodically report to and consult with the President of the Company
and the board and such  individuals  and  committees as may be designated by the

         3. Term of Engagement.  This Consulting  Agreement shall extend for the

<PAGE>

the Company  acknowledge  and agree that this  engagement  may be  terminated by
either party,  at any time,  with 60 days'  notice,  for no reason or any reason
whatsoever.  See paragraph 5,  however,  for the  circumstances  under which the
Company may be required to compensate Consultant following termination.

         4. Compensation.  Consultant shall be paid a consulting fee of $100 per
hour, with the fee for each month of services  payable on the fifth business day
of the following  month. The Company agrees that each calendar month it will pay
Consultant  a minimum  sum  equal to that  which  would be earned by  Consultant
working  10 hours  per  calendar  month.  Additionally,  the  Company  shall pay
Consultant  his hourly  rate for each hour worked  beyond 10 hours per  calendar
month.  Past due  amounts  shall be  subject to  interest  at the  maximum  rate
permitted  under  Georgia law. The Company shall pay for  reasonable  travel and
client  entertainment  expenses and shall  reimburse  Consultant  for reasonable
out-of-pocket  expenses  incurred by Consultant while on Company  business.  The
Company shall also reimburse Consultant for:

         a) One  vehicle,  for which the total  base lease cost shall not exceed
$600 per month;

         b)  All  fuel,  maintenance,  repairs,  insurance,  taxes,  title,  and
registration for the vehicle identified in paragraph 4(a) herein; and

         c) Office  rent in an  amount  not to exceed  $200 per  month,  whether
Consultant  rents office space or designates a suitable portion of his residence
for such purposes.

         5. Termination. Termination shall be effective as of the date specified
in the  notice  of  termination.  All  accrued  obligations  existing  as of the
effective date of termination shall survive termination.  Additionally,  if this
Consulting Agreement is terminated prior to December 31, 2007:

         a) by  the  Company  for  any  reason  other  than  Consultant's  gross
negligence, willful misconduct, or illegal acts;

         b) by either the Company or Consultant  because Consultant is unable to
work by  reason  of  death  or  complete  and  total  disability  (subject  to a
confirming medical examination by a doctor acceptable to both Consultant and the
Company); or

         c) by Consultant,  if Consultant resigns as a consultant to the Company
because of significant changes in the Company's  management or its policies that
are unacceptable to Consultant; then

the Company shall pay  Consultant,  commencing  upon the  effective  date of the
termination and continuing  through December 31, 2007, at the rate of $7,200 per
year, payable on a monthly basis.

         6.   Noncompetition.   Consultant   acknowledges   that  the  Company's
development  efforts are national in scope and that its business is not confined
to any  particular  geographical  area of the  United  States.  Consultant  also
acknowledges  that the  business  the  Company  does with its clients is heavily
dependent on the personal relationship  established by the Company's Consultants
with such  clients.  Accordingly,  during the term of this  Agreement  and for a
period of two years  thereafter,  Consultant  hereby covenants and agrees not to
compete  directly  with the  Company  individually  or as a  director,  officer,
consultant,  shareholder,  record  or  beneficially  owner  of 5% or more of the
stock, general partner,  managing member or other principal of any business,  in
the  solicitation  or  servicing  in or  through  any  medium of  communication,
including the Internet,  of the  advertising or marketing needs of any person or
firm who or which is  engaged or  propose  to engage in the  recycling  of waste
products and production of petrochemical  fuel products,  carbon black, or scrap

steel,  or who or which is a vendor or  customer  of the  Company at the time of
termination  of this  Agreement or who or which has been a vendor or customer of
the Company during the prior two years.  Consultant also agrees during such time
period not to solicit any employees or other consultants of the Company for hire
in a business that  competes with the Company.  In the event a court should find
that this noncompetition provision is unreasonable in time or geographical scope
or in any other way, the court shall have the authority to modify this provision
to the extent  necessary to render it  reasonable in time or scope or such other
way rather  than  invalidating  the entire  provision.  The  provisions  of this
paragraph will survive any termination of this Agreement.

         7.  Equitable  Relief.  Consultant  acknowledges  that  any  breach  or
threatened  breach or alleged breach or threatened  alleged breach by Consultant
of any of the provisions of Paragraph 6 herein can cause irreparable harm to the
Company or its  subsidiaries or affiliates,  for which the Company would have no
adequate  remedy at law.  In the event of a breach  or  threatened  breach or an
alleged  breach  or  alleged  threatened  breach  by  Consultant  of  any of the
provisions of paragraph 6 herein, the Company,  in addition to any and all other
rights  and  remedies  it may  have  under  this  Agreement  or  otherwise,  may
immediately  seek any judicial  action  which the Company may deem  necessary or
advisable  including,   without  limitation,  the  obtaining  of  temporary  and
preliminary injunctive relief.

         8.  Indemnification.  The Company shall  indemnify  Consultant and hold
Consultant harmless against all claims,  losses,  damages,  costs, expenses, and
reasonable  attorneys'  fees  arising  from  Consultant's  services  under  this
Consultant Agreement,  unless a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitrator
agreed to by both  Consultant  and the Company  determines  that  Consultant has
breached his duties to the Company as a result of Consultant's gross negligence,
willful misconduct, or illegal acts.

         9. Consultant Independent  Contractor.  Consultant is engaged under the
terms of this Agreement as an independent  contractor,  and nothing herein shall
be construed as creating an employer/employee  relationship between the parties.
Consultant  shall be solely  liable  for the  payment  of any taxes  imposed  or
arising out of the payment of compensation to Consultant under this Agreement.

         10. Benefit and Nonassignability. This Agreement may not be assigned by
Consultant and may not be assigned by the Company except pursuant to a merger or
other  corporate  reorganization  in  which  control  of  the  resulting  entity
continues  to be held by persons now  controlling  the Company.  This  Agreement
shall  inure to the  benefit  of and be  binding  upon  the  parties  and  their
respective legal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns.
