      Piper Marbury Rudnick & Wolfe LLPCONSULTING AGREEMENT

     This Consulting Agreement (the "Agreement"), effective as of January 2,
2001 between Environmental Oil Processing Technology Corporation ("EOPT"), a
Utah corporation, and Steven Antebi (the "Consultant").

     In consideration of and for the mutual promises and covenants contained
herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is
hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1.   Purpose. EOPT hereby engages Consultant as an independent consultant (and
     not as an agent, employee, partner or joint venturer) during the term
     specified hereinafter to render consulting advice to EOPT upon the terms
     and conditions as set forth herein.

2.   Term. This Agreement commenced effective as of January 2, 2001 through a
     period ending on February 15, 2001 (the "Term"), provided that EOPT may
     terminate this Agreement at any time for any reason upon 30 days' prior
     written notice to the Consultant; provided further that the provisions of
     Sections 4 and 11-17 inclusive will survive termination of this Agreement.

3.   Duties of Consultant.

     (a) During the Term, Consultant will provide EOPT with such consulting
     advice as is reasonably requested by EOPT with respect to financial
     planning and the development of a business plan as is reasonably requested
     by EOPT. In performance of these duties, Consultant will provide EOPT with
     the benefits of its reasonable judgment and efforts. Consultant's duties
     will include, but will not necessarily be limited to the following:

          (i) Advice regarding the existing and possible alternative financial
          structures for EOPT;

          (ii) Advice regarding the formulation of business and financing goals
          and plans;

          (iii) Advice concerning strategic issues, including alliance
          partnerships and joint ventures;

          (iv) Advice concerning short and long range financial planning;

          (v) Advice regarding the implementation of EOPT's goals and plans; and

          (vi) Use of Consultant's reasonable best endeavors to comply with all

                                       1
<PAGE>

          reasonable requests of EOPT in relation to the performance of the
          duties of the Consultant hereunder.

     (b) In connection with rendering its advice hereunder, Consultant and its
     employees and agents will be given reasonable access to EOPT's officers,
     premises and records.

     (c) EOPT acknowledges that Consultant's advice pursuant hereto does not and
     will not constitute any guarantee or other assurance as to the ability of
     EOPT to accomplish whether in whole or in part any specific goals or plans
     of EOPT.

     (d) EOPT acknowledges that Consultant retains the right to provide
     consulting advice to other parties. Nothing herein contained will be
     construed to limit or restrict Consultant in conducting such business with
     respect to others, or in rendering advice to others or conducting any other
     business. During the Term the Consultant will not, however, provide
     consulting advice in favor of any other parties engaged in the same
     business as EOPT without prior written consent of EOPT, other than to
     affiliates of EOPT.

4.   Compensation. In consideration for Consultant agreeing to provide and
     providing the consulting services to be rendered pursuant to this
     Agreement, EOPT agrees, subject to the applicable requirements of federal
     and state law of the United States and of any regulatory authority therein,
     to issue to Consultant, 6,564,999 shares (the "Shares") of EOPT's common
     stock and options to purchase 1,250,000 shares of common stock (the
     "Options") of EOPT. Each of the Options shall be exercisable for a term
     ending sixty months from the date the parties execute the Agreement at an
     exercise price of $3.00. The Shares and the Options are collectively
     deferred to as the "EOPT Securities". The EOPT Securities will be issued to
     Consultant promptly following the execution of this Agreement . The EOPT
     Securities will be promptly registered for resale under the Securities Act
     of 1933, as amended on Form S-8, but in no event later than two weeks
     following the date hereof.

5.   Expenses. EOPT will pay or promptly reimburse Consultant for the
     out-of-pocket expenses, including expenses for travel, lodging, and meals,
     which (a) are incurred by Consultant in connection with the performance of

     carry out its duties under this Agreement or as required by law (in the
     opinion of Consultant's counsel), it will not use or disclose, without
     EOPT's prior consent, any information furnished or disclosed (whether
     before or after the date hereof) to Consultant by EOPT or its employees,
     agents or representatives, including without limitation any of EOPT's trade
     secrets or other proprietary information or information concerning EOPT's

     that Consultant's obligations of nonuse and nondisclosure under this

     domain without a breach of this agreement, (b) Consultant can establish was
     known to it prior to its receipt thereof, or (c) has been or is
