PUT AGREEMENT

     This  PUT AGREEMENT, dated effective as of July 28, 2005, is by and between
Michael  J.  Novak,  an  individual  ("Novak"),  and  The Frost National Bank, a
national  banking  association  ("Frost").

                                    RECITALS

     A.   Frost  owns  500,000  shares  (the  "Put  Shares")  of  the  Series  C
Convertible  Preferred  Stock  of  Charys  Holding  Company,  Inc.,  a  Delaware
corporation  ("Charys").

     B.   Novak  and Frost desire to enter into this Put Agreement wherein Novak
grants  to  Frost  the  right  to  require Novak to purchase the Put Shares from
Frost,  as  more  fully  set  forth  herein.

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  for  good  and  valuable  consideration,  the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be
legally  bound  hereby,  agree  as  follows:

     1.   Grant  of  Put.  Novak  hereby  grants  to  Frost the option (the "Put
          --------------
Option"), in Frost's sole and exclusive discretion, to require Novak to purchase
the  Put  Shares  from  Frost as set forth in numbered paragraph 2 below for the
purchase  price  specified  in  numbered  paragraph  3  below.

     2.   Exercise.  The  Put Option granted hereby may be exercised at any time
          --------
after  twenty-four  (24)  months  after  the  date hereof and before thirty (30)
months  after the date hereof (the "Exercise Term").  Frost may exercise the Put
Option  at  any  time  during  the Exercise Term by delivering written notice of
exercise  (the  "Exercise  Notice")  to Novak in the manner provided in numbered
paragraph 5 below.  If notice of exercise is not received by Novak prior to 5:00
p.m.  San  Antonio,  Texas  time  on the last day of the Exercise Term, this Put
Agreement  and  the  Put  Option  granted hereunder shall terminate and be of no
further  force or effect.  The Put Option may be exercised only as a whole as to
all of the Put Shares then owned by Frost and may not be exercised in part.  Any
attempt  to  exercise  the  Put  Option for less than all of the Put Shares then
owned  by  Frost  shall  be  void  and  of  no  effect.

     3.   Purchase  Price;  Settlement  of Transaction.  The purchase price upon
          --------------------------------------------
exercise  of  the Put Option shall be $3.50 per share (the "Put Purchase Price")
payable  by  Novak  to  Frost.  The  closing of the purchase and sale of the Put
Shares (the "Closing") shall take place at 10:00 a.m. San Antonio, Texas time at
the  offices  of  Frost  at 100 W. Houston Street, San Antonio, Texas, 78205 and
shall  occur  on  the  tenth business day following the delivery of the Exercise
Notice  to  Novak,  or  at such other time and place as shall be mutually agreed
upon  by  Novak  and  Frost.  At the Closing, Frost shall deliver to Novak stock
certificates  representing  the  Put  Shares  accompanied by duly executed stock
powers  with  signatures  as  may be necessary to vest title in Novak to the Put
Shares free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests, rights of others
or  other encumbrances, against delivery by Novak to Frost, by wire transfer, of
an  amount  equal  to  the  Put  Purchase  Price.

<PAGE>
     4.   Investment  Representation.  In  the  event  of an exercise of the Put
          --------------------------
Option,  Novak  acknowledges that the Put Shares to be delivered to him pursuant
to numbered paragraph 3 hereof are not being registered under the Securities Act
of  1933,  as  amended  (the  "Act")  and  that  the  transfer  to  him  of such
unregistered Shares will be being made by Frost in reliance on the provisions of
Section 4(2) of the Act.  Novak represents that, if the Put Option is exercised,
he  intends to acquire the Put Shares for investment for his own account and not
with  a  view  to  the  distribution  thereof.

     5.   Notices.  All  notices  and  communications  which  are  required  or
          -------
permitted  hereunder shall be sufficient and deemed received when in writing and
delivered personally, or next day after being mailed by Federal Express or other
reliable  overnight  mail  delivery,  delivery charges prepaid, or five (5) days
after being mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, as follows:

or  to such other person or persons or address or addresses as may be designated
by  written  notice  to  the  other  parties  as  provided  hereunder.

     6.   Adjustments.  In  the  event  of any change in the nature or amount of
          -----------
any  Put  Shares  by  reason  of any stock dividend, split-up, reclassification,
recapitalization,  merger,  consolidation  or reorganization, the purchase price
thereof  that  Novak  shall  be  required to pay and/or the number of Put Shares
subject  to  any such change that Novak shall receive shall be appropriately and
equitably  adjusted  to  reflect  any  such  change.

     7.   Severability.  If  any  provision  of  this  Put  Agreement  or  the
          ------------
application  of  any  such  provision  to  any  party  or circumstances shall be
determined  by  any  court  of  competent  jurisdiction  to  be  invalid  and
unenforceable  to  any  extent,  the  remainder  of  this  Put  Agreement or the
application  of  such provision to such person or circumstances other than those
to  which  it  is  so  determined  to be invalid and unenforceable, shall not be
affected  thereby,  and  each  provision  hereof shall be validated and shall be
enforced  to  the  fullest  extent  permitted  by  law.

     8.   Waivers.  Any failure by either party to this Agreement to comply with
          -------
any  of  its or his obligations, agreements or covenants hereunder may be waived
by  the  other party hereto.  No party hereto will be deemed as a consequence of
any act, delay, failure, omission, forbearance or other indulgences granted from
time  to  time  by  another  party  hereto:  (a)  to  have  waived,  or  to  be

                                        2
<PAGE>
estopped  from  exercising,  any  of  its  rights  or  remedies  under  this Put
Agreement,  or (b) to have modified, changed, amended, terminated, rescinded, or
superseded  any  of  the  terms  of  this  Put  Agreement,  unless  such waiver,
modification,  amendment,  change,  termination,  rescission, or supersession is
expressed  in  writing  and signed by the parties hereto or, where applicable, a
duly  authorized  officer  of  the  parties  hereto,  to  be  bound  thereby.

     9.   Entire  Agreement.  This  Put  Agreement embodies the entire agreement

          ------------------------------------
time,  and  from  time to time after the date hereof, upon reasonable request of
the  other party, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further acts, deeds,
assignments,  transfers, conveyances, and assurances as may be required to carry
out  the  intent  of  this Agreement; provided, however, this Agreement shall be
effective  regardless  of  whether  any  such additional documents are executed.

     11.  Specific  Performance.  Each  of the parties acknowledges that failure
          ---------------------
to  comply with any of the terms and restrictions of this Agreement could result
in  injury  to  each  other party that would be substantial, irreparable and for
which  the  parties  would  not  have  an  adequate remedy at law or in damages.
Accordingly,  each  party  consents  to  the  issuance  of  an injunction or the
enforcement  of  other equitable remedies against him, his successor and assigns
at  the  suit  of  an  aggrieved  party without the posting of any bond or other
security,  to compel specific performance of all of the terms hereof, and waives

of consideration, (ii) breach of any other provision of this Agreement and (iii)
availability  of  relief  in  damages.

          ------------------------------------
governed  by  the laws of the State of Texas and shall be binding upon and shall
inure  to  the  benefit  of  the  parties  hereto  and  their  respective heirs,
successors  and  assigns.

     13.  Counterparts.  This  Put  Agreement  may  be  executed  in two or more

                                               --------

As of the effective date of this Notice, Borrower and THE FROST NATIONAL BANK, a

                                ------
to  which  Lender  has  agreed  to  make  a loan or loans to Borrower, and/or to
otherwise  extend  credit or make financial accommodations to or for the benefit

                 ----

                                   ARBITRATION
                                   -----------

Upon  written  request  of  either  Lender or Borrower, any controversy or claim
between  or  among the parties hereto including but not limited to those arising
out  of  or  relating  to  the  Loan,  any  of the loan documents or any related
agreements  or  instruments  executed  in  connection  with  the Loan (the "Loan
                                                                            ----
Documents"), including any claim based on or arising from an alleged tort, shall
---------
be  determined by binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration
Act (or if not applicable, the applicable state law), the Commercial Arbitration
Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and the "Special Rules" set forth
below  unless  both  Lender  and  Borrower, in their respective sole discretion,
agree  in  writing  to  mediate  the  dispute  prior  to  submitting  to binding
arbitration. In the event of any inconsistency, the Special Rules shall control.
Judgment  upon  any  arbitration  award  may  be  entered  in  any  court having
jurisdiction.  Any  party  to  this  Agreement  may bring an action, including a
summary  or  expedited  proceeding,  to compel arbitration of any controversy or
claim to which this agreement applies in any court having jurisdiction over such
action.  The  party  that  requests  arbitration  has the burden to initiate the
arbitration  proceedings  pursuant  to  and  by  complying  with  the Commercial
Arbitration  Rules  of  the  American  Arbitration Association and shall pay all
associated  administrative  and  filing  fees.

The  arbitration  shall  be  conducted in the City of San Antonio, Bexar County,
Texas and administered by the American Arbitration Association.  All arbitration
hearings  will  be  commenced  within sixty (60) days of the written request for
arbitration,  and  if  the arbitration hearing is not commenced within the sixty
(60)  days,  the party that requested arbitration shall have waived its election
to  arbitrate.  Nothing  in  this  Agreement  shall  be  deemed to (i) limit the
applicability  of  any otherwise applicable statutes of limitation or repose and
any  waivers  contained  in this Agreement; or (ii) be a waiver by Lender of the
protection  afforded  to it by 12 U.S.C. Sec. 91 or any substantially equivalent
state  law;  or (iii) limit the right of Lender hereto (A) to exercise self help
remedies  such  as  (but not limited to) setoff, or (B) to foreclose against any
real  or  personal property collateral in accordance with applicable law, or (C)
to  obtain  from  a  court  provisional  or  ancillary remedies such as (but not
limited  to)  injunctive  relief  or the appointment of a receiver in accordance
with  applicable  law.  Lender  may  exercise such self help remedies, foreclose
upon  such  property,  or  obtain such provisional or ancillary remedies before,
during  or  after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding brought pursuant to
this  Agreement  or  any  other  Loan Document.  At Lender's option, foreclosure
under  a  deed  of  trust  or  mortgage

<PAGE>
may  be  accomplished  by any of the following:  the exercise of a power of sale
under the deed of trust or mortgage, or by judicial sale under the deed of trust
or  mortgage,  or  by  judicial foreclosure.  Neither this exercise of self help
remedies  nor  the  institution  or  maintenance of an action for foreclosure or
provisional  or ancillary remedies shall constitute a waiver of the right of any
party, including the claimant in any such action, to arbitrate the merits of the
controversy  or  claim  occasioning  resort  to  such  remedies.

                       FACSIMILE DOCUMENTS AND SIGNATURES

party  on  this  document  transmitted  by  way  of a facsimile machine shall be

shall  be  considered  to  have  the  same  binding  legal effect as an original
document.  At  the request of any party, any faxed document shall be re-executed
by  each  signatory  party  in  an  original  form.

                        WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY
                        --------------------------------

THE  PARTIES  TO  THIS  AGREEMENT  HEREBY  WAIVE  TRIAL  BY  JURY IN ANY ACTION,
