extent  allowable  under  the  Charys  Stock  Option  Plan  and applicable laws;
provided,  however,  in  the  event  that the Initial Options may not be granted

shareholder  approval of an increase in the number of shares available for grant
thereunder, the Initial Options shall be granted to the Executive outside of the
Charys  Stock  Option  Plan.

               b.     Future  Grants.  In  addition,  during  the  Term  of

exercisable  in  full  upon  termination  of the Executive's employment with the
Company  for  any  reason  other than termination by the Company for Cause under

discretion  and  pursuant  to  the  Charys  Stock  Option  Plan.

          4.6     Target  Companies.  Within thirty (30) days after Commencement
                  ------------------

established  to  meet  with the Executive and Gregory A. Buchholz (collectively,
the  "MANAGERS")  to establish guidelines (the "GUIDELINES") for acquisitions of
companies  similar  to  the  Company.  After  the  Guidelines  have

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
been established and approved by the Charys Board, the Managers may from time to
time bring acquisition candidates (a "TARGET COMPANY" or the "TARGET COMPANIES")
to the Committee for review. If the acquisition terms of a Target Company comply
with  the  Guidelines,  Charys  will  make  available a pool of Common Stock and
apportion  cash  which  may  be available from Charys for the acquisition of the
Target  Company  as  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to any
acquisition  structure  recommended  by  the Company's attorneys, accountants or
other  professional  advisors.

          As  soon  as  practicable  after  the  acquisition of the Company, the
Committee  and  the  Managers shall establish reasonable financial goals for the
results  of  operations of any Target Company acquired, to include target sales,
target growth in sales, and target earnings before interest, depreciation, taxes
and  amortization,  as  determined  in  accordance  with United States generally
accepted  accounting principles ("EBITDA"), hereinafter collectively the "TARGET
GOALS."

          At  the  end  of  each  full  fiscal  year of operation for any Target
Company,  Charys  shall  cause an audit of the Target Company to be performed by
Charys'  accountants  (fee  'TARGET  REVIEW").

          In  the  event  the  results  of  operation of each Target Company, as
determined by the Target Review, is equal to greater than the Target Goals, then
an  amount  not  less  than  Twenty-Five  Percent (25%) of the net income of any
Target  Company,  as  established  by  the  Target  Review, would be paid to the
Managers,  in accordance with each Manager's Employment Agreement, in cash or in
common  stock of Charys, at the Company's option, in accordance with the example
set  forth  in  EXHIBIT  A hereto. The incentive compensation payable under this
Section  shall  be  cumulative  over  a  three  (3)  year  period.

          4.7     Other  Benefits.  The  Executive shall be entitled to four (4)
                  ----------------
weeks  of  paid vacation each calendar year during the Term of Employment, to be
taken  at  such  times as the Executive and the Company shall mutually determine
and provided that no vacation time shall significantly interfere with the duties
required  to be rendered by the Executive hereunder. Any vacation time not taken
by Executive during any calendar year may be carried forward into any succeeding
calendar  year. The Executive shall receive such additional benefits, if any, as
the  Board  of  the  Company  shall  from  time  to  time  determine.

assigned  to  him  by  the  Company,  the Executive shall hold in confidence all
Proprietary  Information  and the Executive will not reproduce, use, distribute,
disclose,  or  otherwise misappropriate any Proprietary Information, in whole or
in  part,  and will take no action causing, or fail to take any action necessary
to  prevent  causing,  any  Proprietary  Information  to  lose  its character as
Proprietary Information, nor will the Executive make use of any such Information
for  the  Executive's own purposes or for the benefit of any person, business or
legal  entity  (except  the  Company)  under  any circumstances, except that the
Executive  may  disclose  such Proprietary Information to the extent required by
law,  provided  that,  prior  to any such disclosure, the Company be provided an

Company  and  shall,  to  the  extent possible, be considered a work made by the
Executive  for hire for the Company within the meaning of Title 17 of the United

requirement  of  further  consideration,  any  right,  title,  or  interest  the

Company, and (b) the restrictions contained in this Article 6 (including without

his  creditors.-The  Executive  acknowledges  and  confirms  that  his  special
knowledge  of  the  business  of  the Company is such as would cause the Company
serious  injury  or  loss  if  he  were to use such ability and knowledge to the
benefit  of a competitor or were to compete with the Company in violation of the
terms  of  this  Article  6.  The  Executive  further  acknowledges  that  the
restrictions  contained  in this Article 6 are intended to be, and shall be, for
the  benefit  of  and  shall  be  enforceable  by,  the Company's successors and
assigns.

                  -----------------------
jurisdiction  shall determine that any provision of this Article 6 is invalid or
more  restrictive  than  permitted under the governing law of such jurisdiction,
then  only  as  to enforcement of this Article 6 within the jurisdiction of such
court,  such  provision  shall be interpreted and enforced as if it provided for
the  maximum  restriction  permitted  under  such  governing  law.

          6.9     Extension  of  Time. If the Executive shall be in violation of
                  --------------------
any  provision  of  this  Article 6, then each time limitation set forth in this

injunctive relief from such violation in any court, then the covenants set forth
in  this  Article 6 shall be extended for a period of time equal to the pendency
of  such  proceeding  including  all  appeals  by  the  Executive.

acted  in  good faith, in a manner that was not grossly negligent or constituted
willful  misconduct  and  in  a  manner  he  reasonably believed to be in or not

Charys  Stock  Option  Plan.

               b.     Future  Grants.  In  addition,  during  the  Term  of

exercisable  in  full  upon  termination  of the Executive's employment with the
Company  for  any  reason  other than termination by the Company for Cause under

Section  5.5(b)  hereof. The number of Stock Options and terms and conditions of

discretion  and  pursuant  to  the  Charys  Stock  Option  Plan.

          4.6     Target  Companies.  Within thirty (30) days after Commencement
                  ------------------

established  to  meet  with the Executive and Gregory A. Buchholz (collectively,
the  "MANAGERS")  to establish guidelines (the "GUIDELINES") for acquisitions of
companies  similar  to  the  Company.  After  the  Guidelines  have

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
been established and approved by the Charys Board, the Managers may from time to
time bring acquisition candidates (a "TARGET COMPANY" or the "TARGET COMPANIES")
to the Committee for review. If the acquisition terms of a Target Company comply
with  the  Guidelines,  Charys  will  make  available a pool of Common Stock and
apportion  cash  which  may  be available from Charys for the acquisition of the
Target  Company  as  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to any
acquisition  structure  recommended  by  the Company's attorneys, accountants or
other  professional  advisors.

          As  soon  as  practicable  after  the  acquisition of the Company, the
Committee  and  the  Managers shall establish reasonable financial goals for the
results  of  operations of any Target Company acquired, to include target sales,
target growth in sales, and target earnings before interest, depreciation, taxes
and  amortization,  as  determined  in  accordance  with United States generally
accepted  accounting principles ("EBITDA"), hereinafter collectively the "TARGET
GOALS."

          At  the  end  of  each  full  fiscal  year of operation for any Target
Company,  Charys  shall  cause a review of the Target Company to be performed by
Charys'  accountants  (the  "TARGET  REVIEW").

          In  the  event  the  results  of  operation of each Target Company, as
determined by the Target Review, is equal to greater than the Target Goals, then
an  amount  not  less  than  Twenty-Five  Percent (25%) of the net income of any
Target  Company,  as  established  by  the  Target  Review, would be paid to the
Managers,  in accordance with each Manager's Employment Agreement, in cash or in
common  stock of Charys, at the Company's option, in accordance with the example
set  forth  in  EXHIBIT  A hereto. The incentive compensation payable under this
Section  shall  be  cumulative  over  a  three  (3)  year  period.

          4.7     Other  Benefits.  The  Executive shall be entitled to four (4)
                  ----------------
weeks  of  paid vacation each calendar year during the Term of Employment, to be
taken  at  such  times as the Executive and the Company shall mutually determine
and provided that no vacation time shall significantly interfere with the duties
required  to be rendered by the Executive hereunder. Any vacation time not taken
by Executive during any calendar year may be carried forward into any succeeding
calendar  year. The Executive shall receive such additional benefits, if any, as
the  Board  of  the  Company  shall  from  time  to  time  determine.
