Assignment and Non-Compete Agreement between Rye Investments, Ltd. and
Bionutrics International, Ltd. dated in October 1997."

                  The consummation by the parties thereto of the transactions

Act.

transactions, subject to their evaluation of the Company's business, prospects
and financial condition, the market for the Common Stock, other opportunities
available to the Reporting Person and the Managers, prospects for the respective
business' of the Reporting Person and the Managers, general economic conditions,
money and stock market conditions and other future developments.

factors mentioned above, the Reporting Person or any of the Managers, at any
time, may decide to change its or his intention with respect to the acquisition
and/or retention of shares of Common Stock (or common stock equivalents, as the
case may be), including, without limitation, a determination to increase,
decrease or entirely dispose of its or his holdings of Common Stock (or common
stock equivalents, as the case may be), although, neither the Reporting Person
nor any Manager has any current intention to do so.

Gentlemen:

                  The undersigned, a holder of shares of Common Stock, par value
$0 per share ("Company Stock"), of InCon Technologies, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company") is entitled to receive, in connection with the
merger (the "Merger") of the Company with and into BNRX, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Parent
Stock") of Bionutrics, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Parent"). The
undersigned acknowledges that the undersigned may be deemed an "Affiliate" of
the Company within the meaning of Rule 145 ("Rule 145") promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), although nothing contained
herein should be construed as an admission of such fact.

                  Pursuant to Rule 145, the undersigned's ability to sell,
assign or transfer the Parent Stock received by the undersigned in exchange for
any shares of Company Stock pursuant to the Merger may be restricted unless such
transaction is registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration
is available. The undersigned understands that in connection with sales of, or
offers to sell, the Parent Stock by the undersigned, the undersigned will not be
deemed an underwriter pursuant to Rule 145(c) if the provisions of Rule 145(d)
are complied with (including, without limitations by compliance with paragraphs
(c), (e), (f) and (g) of Rule 144). The undersigned understands that such
exemptions are limited and the undersigned has obtained advice of counsel as to
the nature and conditions of such exemptions, including information with respect
to the applicability to the sale of such securities or Rules 144 and 145(d)
promulgated under the Act.

                  The undersigned hereby represents to and covenants with the
Parent that the undersigned will not sell, assign or transfer any of the shares
of the Parent Stock received by the undersigned in exchange for shares of
Company Stock pursuant to the Merger except (i) pursuant to an effective
Registration Statement under the Act, or (ii) in a transaction which, in the
opinion of independent counsel reasonably satisfactory to Parent or as described
in a "no-action" or interpretive letter specifically addressing such transaction
from the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, is not required to be
registered under the Act.

                  In the event of a sale or other disposition pursuant to Rule
145, the undersigned will supply Parent with evidence or compliance with such
Rule, such evidence to be in form reasonably satisfactory to Parent. The
undersigned understands that Parent may instruct its transfer agent to withhold
the transfer of any securities disposed of by the undersigned, but that upon
receipt of such evidence of compliance with Rule 145, the transfer agent shall
effectuate such transfer of shares.

                  The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the appropriate
legends will be placed on certificates representing the shares of Parent Stock
received by the undersigned in the Merger or held by a transferee thereof, which
legends will be removed by delivery of substitute certificates upon receipt of
an opinion in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent (the
reasonable fees of which counsel will be paid by Parent) to the effect that such
legends are no longer required for purposes of the Act.

                  The undersigned acknowledges that (i) it has carefully read
this letter and understands the requirements hereof and the limitations imposed
upon the distribution, sale, transfer or other disposition of shares of Parent
Stock and (ii) the receipt by Parent of this letter is an inducement and a
condition to Parent's obligations to consummate the Merger.

                                           Very truly yours,

                                           InCon Holdings, LLC
