Item 1. BUSINESS.

            On December 10, 1999, Waste Technology Corp.'s (the "Company")
wholly owned subsidiary, International Press and Shear Corporation ("IPS"), a
Georgia corporation, which owned and operated a hydraulic press baler
manufacturing facility in Baxley, Georgia consummated the sale of all of its
tangible and intangible assets to a newly formed corporation, IPS Balers Inc
("IPS Balers"), also a Georgia corporation. The principals of IPS Balers are
Sidney Wildes and Forest H. Wildes, who until their recent resignations were
officers of IPS. Sideny Wildes was also formerly a Director of the Company.

            The purchase price paid by IPS Balers for IPS' assets, which include
the right to IPS' name and logo, was $800,000, $640,000 of which was paid on
closing and the balance of $160,000 is to be paid sixty (60) days from the
closing.

            In addition to purchasing all of IPS' assets, IPS Baler also agreed
to assume certain of IPS' liabilities, including IPS' obligations to Appling
County, Georgia relating to the construction of the Baxley facility; to SunTrust
Bank relating to the financing of equipment; and, the obligations of IPS
pursuant to the lease for the Baxley facility.

            The agreement with IPS Balers also provides that the Company will
convey and relinquish to IPS Balers all rights it had to the hinged sidewall
baling/pressing equipment previously manufactured by the Company and IPS.
However, the Company has been granted a license to manufacture for its own sales
purposes seven and eight inch bore standard hinge side closed door and open end
auto tie products in exchange for the Company's agreement to pay its
proportionate share of royalties to the holder of the patent for such equipment.
The agreement further provides that the Company and IPS Balers each will
manufacture baling presses for the other as private labeled products.

            This is only a brief summary of the agreement between the parties
and anyone interested in reviewing the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement
between IPS and IPS Balers is referred to the complete Asset Purchase Agreement
which is filed herewith together with all exhibits thereto.

            (a) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under Section
10.1 or 10.2 of notice of any claim against it, such Indemnified Person will,
if a claim is to be made against an Indemnifying Party under such Section, give
notice to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of such claim, but the
failure to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party
of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person, except to the
extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such action
is prejudiced by the Indemnifying Party's failure to give such notice.

            (b) If any claim referred to in Section 10.3(a) is brought against
an Indemnified Person and it gives written notice to the Indemnifying Party of
such claim, the Indemnifying Party may, at its option, assume the defense of
such claim with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person and, after
written notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Person of its


                                    Page 15
<PAGE>

election to assume the defense of such claim, the Indemnifying Party will not,
as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified
Person under this Article 10 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses
with respect to the defense of such claim subsequently incurred by the
Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of such claim, other than
reasonable costs of investigation. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense
of a claim, (i) no compromise or settlement of such claim may be effected by the
Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Person's written consent unless (A)
there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or any
violation of the rights of any Person, and (B) the sole relief provided is
monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party; and (ii) the
Indemnified Person will have no liability with respect to any compromise or
settlement of such claims effected without its written consent. Subject to
Section 10.3(c), if notice is given to an Indemnifying Party of any claim and
the Indemnifying Party does not, within ten (10) days after the Indemnified
Person's notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Person of its election
to assume the defense of such claim, the Indemnifying Party will be bound by any
determination made in such Proceeding or any compromise or settlement effected
by the Indemnified Person.

            (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Person
determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a claim may
adversely affect it other than as a result of monetary damages for which it
would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified
Person may, by notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to
defend, compromise, or settle such claim, but the Indemnifying Party will not be
bound by any determination of a claim so defended or any compromise or
settlement effected without its written consent (which may not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed).

      10.4 Procedure for Indemnification -- Other Claim. A claim for
indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim shall be
asserted by written notice to the Indemnifying Party from whom indemnification
is sought.

      10.5 Survival/Limitations.

            (a) The parties hereto agree that (i) the representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive until ninety (90) days
after the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitation with respect to
the subject matter thereof and (iii) any indemnification claim for a breach of
the foregoing must be made in writing in accordance with the provisions of this
Article 10 within the applicable survival period for the underlying
representation, warranty or covenant. The expiration of the applicable survival
period win not extinguish an indemnification claim properly made prior to such
expiration in accordance with this Article 10.

            (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims for Damages arising
from fraud by Seller hereunder shall be without limitation of any kind.

11. HINGED-SIDE BALER PATENT AND PRODUCTION RIGHTS

<PAGE>

which Seller and F.F. "Sonny" Rosser claim competing patent rights ("Hinged-Side
Equipment"). Provided, however, Buyer agrees to grant WasteTech a license to
manufacture for its own sales purposes seven- and eight-inch bore standard
Hinged-Side closed door and open end auto-tie products. Such license will not
include any high speed or large wide box two-ram machines. WasteTech shall pay
to Buyer for such rights to Hinged-Side Equipment patent royalties equal to
Seller's proportionate share of the royalties paid by Buyer to F.F. "Sonny"
Rosser; being 2.5% of sales up to $1,000,000, and 1% of sales in excess of
$1,000,000 through December 31, 2007, then 1% of sales from January 1, 2008
through the life of the Patent. WasteTech's rights to manufacture said products
shall be co-existent with Buyer's rights to manufacture the same equipment as
long as the required royalties are paid, but Buyer shall not grant such a right
or license to any other entity in the United States. WasteTech's rights to
manufacture and sell Hinged-Side Equipment shall be limited to itself, with no
right to assign or license the said rights to any other person or entity.

      11.2 Private Label Manufacturing. Buyer will manufacture the nine-inch
bore standard Hinged-Side baler for Seller as a private labeled product, and
sell it to Seller at a price equal to five percent (5%) below Buyer's dealer net
price, plus any applicable Patent royalty payments. WasteTech, through its
subsidiaries, will also manufacture products for Buyer, including auto
tie/twister equipment, as private labeled products, at five percent (5%) below
the manufacturer's dealer net price.

      11.3 IPS Name. Buyer shall have exclusive right to the "International

      13.8 Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement supersedes all
prior agreements between the Parties with respect to its subject matter

right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any

                     PROMISSORY NOTE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

$250,000.00                                                        July 22, 1996

      FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, International Press and Shear
Corporation (hereinafter called "Maker"), does hereby promise to pay to the
order of Appling County, Georgia, a political subdivision of the State of
Georgia, (hereinafter together with any holder hereof called "Holder"), at its
office in Baxley, Appling County, Georgia, or such other place as Holder may
designate in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America, the
principal sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) value received
bearing interest from the date hereof at the rate of four percent (4.0%) per
annum, and payable as set forth below.

                                    ARTICLE I

                             PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST

      Principal and interest shall be due and payable in eighty-four (84)
consecutive monthly installments, each such installment being in the amount of
$3,417.20, with the first such installment commencing on the 22nd day of August,
1996, and with a final installment of the entire outstanding principal balance
together with all accrued and unpaid interest being due and payable on the 22nd
day of July, 2003. If at the time set for the payment of the first installment
of principal and interest shall be due and accrued for a period of more or less
than one month period, the amount of said first installment shall be increased
or decreased to the extent the amount of interest due exceeds or is less than
the interest due for a one month period.

      In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable hereunder exceed
the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law, and in the event any
such payment is advertently paid by the Maker of inadvertently received by the
Holder, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless
the Maker shall notify the Holder, in writing, that the Maker elects to have
such excess sums returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent hereof that
the Maker not pay and the Holder not receive, directly or indirectly in any
manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be legally paid by the
Maker under applicable law.

                                   ARTICLE II

                                SECURITY INTEREST

      This Note is secured by, without limitation, a security interest given by
Maker to Holder encumbering the machinery and equipment listed in Exhibit A
attached hereto and made a part hereof and future and other machinery and
equipment acquired with the

                                   EXHIBIT C


                                  PAGE 1 OF 8
<PAGE>

proceeds of this loan; together with all additions thereto and replacements
thereof. It is the intention of Maker and Holder that Holder shall have a
purchase money security interest in the aforesaid machinery and equipment until
the full amount of this note, including principal, interest and other allowable
charges have been paid in full, and Maker hereby grants unto Holder such
security interest; this instrument constituting for such purposes a security
agreement as well as promissory note. Holder is and shall be authorized to file
UCC-1 and UCC-2 financing statements and such other evidences of the said
security interest as may be provided for under the Georgia Uniform Commercial
Code, including amendments thereto and continuations thereof, with or without
execution by Maker.

                                   ARTICLE III

                                  LATE CHARGES

      The Holder shall have the optional right to declare the total unpaid
balance hereof to be due and forthwith payable in advance of the maturity date
of any installment, as fixed herein, upon the failure of the undersigned to pay
when due any one of the installments herein, or upon the occurrence of any event
of default as provided in the Master Loan Agreement entered into between the
parties of even date herewith; all terms and provisions of said agreement being
incorporated herein and made a part hereof. Upon exercise of this option by
Holder, the entire unpaid principal shall bear interest until paid in full at
the rate of eighteen percent (18.0%) percent per annum. Forbearance to exercise
this option with respect to any failure or of breach of the Maker shall not
constitute a waiver of the right as to any subsequent failure or breach.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                                 GENERAL MATTERS

      Time is of the essence of this Contract and, in case this Note is
collected by law or through an attorney at law, or under advise therefrom, the
Maker agrees to pay all costs of collection, including fifteen (15%) percent of
the principal and interest as attorney's fees. In addition to the foregoing, in
the event that any monthly installment is not paid when due, the Holder may
collect a "Late Charge" of $5.00 or five cents ($.05) for each Dollar ($1.00),
whichever is greater, of each installment payment of interest and principal
provided for herein more than ten (10) days in arrears to cover the extra
expense involved in handling delinquent accounts. Such charge shall be payable
not later than due date of the next monthly installment payment hereon and shall
be secured by the Loan Documents.

      The Maker and all endorsers or other parties to this Note severally waive,
each for

<PAGE>

itself or himself and family, any and all homestead and exemption rights which
any of them or the family of any of them may have under or by virtue of the
Constitution or law of the United States of America or of any state against this
Note, any renewal thereof, or any indebtedness represented thereby.

      The Maker and all endorsers or other parties to this Note jointly and
severally transfer, convey and assign to the Holder a sufficient amount of
property or money set apart as exempt to pay the indebtedness evidenced hereby,
or any renewal thereof, and do hereby, jointly and severally, appoint the Holder
the attorney in fact for each of them to claim any and all homestead exemption
allowed by law.

      The Maker hereby waives presentment, demand for payment, protest and
notice of non-payment.

      Maker hereby acknowledges and recognizes that this Note, the Master Loan
Agreement and UCC financing statements have been executed and delivered in the
State of Georgia. The laws of the State of Georgia shall govern said documents.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have set their hands and seals this
22nd day of July, 1996.

                                 PROMISSORY NOTE

$720,000.00                                                      Baxley, Georgia
                                                                   April 5, 1996

      FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF APPLING
COUNTY, a body politic created by statutory authority contained in provisions of
an Act of the Georgia General Assembly (Ga.Laws, 1969, p.137, et.seq., as
amended) ("Maker"), hereby promises to pay to the order of SOUTHTRUST BANK OF
FLORIDA, N.A. ("Lender"), a national banking association, at the office of the
Lender at 1301 Riverplace Boulevard, Jacksonville, Florida 32207 or such other
place as the holder may designate in writing, the sum of Seven Hundred Twenty
Thousand and NO/l00 Dollars ($720,000.00) or such lesser amount as may be
outstanding from time to time, with interest thereon at the rates provided
hereinafter and with payments of principal and interest as specified below.

      Interest on this Note shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for
the actual number of days elapsed in an interest period (actual/360
computation). From the date hereof until the fifth anniversary of this Note,
interest shall accrue at eight and one-quarter percent (8.25%) per annum. On the
fifth and tenth anniversaries of this Note ("Adjustment Dates") the interest
rate shall be adjusted to equal the rate borne on such Adjustment Date by U.S.
Treasury Bills with five year maturities, plus 2.8% per annum, and shall be
fixed at such rate until the next Adjustment Date or the maturity of this Note.

      During the term of this Note, Maker shall make regular monthly payments of
principal and accrued interest, applied first to interest then to principal, in
the amount of $6,134.87 beginning on May 20, 1996 and continuing on the same day
each month until maturity; provided that if the interest rate is changed on any
Adjustment Date, Lender may recalculate the remaining regular monthly payments
so as to amortize the remaining principal balance plus accrued interest at the
adjusted rate, in equal payments over a period equal to twenty years minus the
already expired term of the Note. The entire principal balance of this Note, and
all accrued interest shall be due and payable in full on the fifteenth
anniversary of this Note.

      This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part without penalty at any time.
Any partial prepayment shall be applied first against accrued but unpaid
interest and then against principal.

      After maturity, whether normal maturity or upon acceleration, the unpaid
principal balance of this Note and, to the extent permitted by law, any accrued
but unpaid interest thereon, shall accrue interest until paid in full at the
highest rate permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall entitle the holder
of this Note to demand or collect interest or charges in the nature of interest
in excess of that permitted by law and if any such excess is collected, it shall
he promptly paid to the Maker together with interest thereon at the highest
lawful rate in effect at the time of such overcharge.

                                   EXHIBIT D


                                  PAGE 1 OF 8

instruments executed and delivered this date by Maker to Lender.

      If default be made in the payment of any amounts required to be paid under
this Note or if there exists any event of default under the Loan Agreement or
Security Deed, then the holder hereof may, at its option, declare the entire
principal balance and accrued interest to be immediately due and payable without

      The Maker and all endorsers and guarantors of this Note, now or hereafter
becoming liable hereon, waive demand, presentment, protest and notice of protest

its remedies hereunder and under any instrument securing this Note, including
costs and fees on appeal and in insolvency proceedings.

                UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE

      This Guaranty is made as of the 5th day of April, 1996, by Waste
Technology Corp., Consolidated Baling Machine Company, Inc. and International
Press & Shear Corp. ("Guarantor"):

                                   WITNESSETH:

      1. Guaranty.

            IN CONSIDERATION of the sum of $10.00 cash in hand paid, and other
valuable consideration, as well as for the purpose of seeking to induce
SouthTrust Bank of Florida, N.A. ("Lender") to extend credit in the amount of
approximately $720,000 to Development Authority of Appling County ("Principal"),
pursuant to a promissory note (the "Note") of even date herewith, Guarantor does
hereby unconditionally and irrevocably, jointly and severally, if more than one,
guarantee to Lender and to its endorsees, transferees, successors, or assigns of
either this Guaranty or any of the obligations secured hereunder, or both, the
prompt payment of all obligations of the Principal owed to Lender pursuant to
the Note and the Deed to Secure Debt of even date herewith securing the Note
(collectively, the "Obligation"), and does hereby agree that if the Obligation
is not paid by the Principal in accordance with its terms, the Guarantor will
immediately make such payments upon written demand by Lender.

      2. Nature of Guaranty. This is a continuing, unconditional and irrevocable
guaranty of payment, not of collection, which may be enforced one or more times.
No revocation or attempted revocation of this Guaranty shall affect any
Obligation then outstanding or any future Obligations arising from advances or
other extensions of credit for which Lender is then committed, or from advance
to protect or preserve any collateral for the Obligation or to otherwise protect
the interests of Lender, including any advances for taxes or insurance or to pay
off or cure defaults under any senior mortgages or Security interests
encumbering any such collateral.

      3. Obligations Guaranteed. The obligations of this Guaranty include all of
Principal's obligations under the Obligation and any renewals or extensions, in
whole or in part, together with all damages, losses, costs, interest, charges,
expenses, including attorneys' fees, and liabilities of every kind, nature and
description suffered or incurred by Lender arising in any manner out of, or in
any way connected with or growing out of the Obligation, including any
indemnification obligations and any obligations to repay advances made by Lender
after default.

      4. Consent. Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that Lender may at any
time, either with or without consideration, surrender any property or other
security of any kind or nature whatsoever held by Lender or for its account
securing any indebtedness or liability covered by this Guaranty or substitute
other collateral or compromise, extend or modify the terms of the Obligation,
all without notice to or further consent from the Guarantor, and any such action
shall not in any way affect the liability of the Guarantor hereunder; provided

<PAGE>

however, that if Lender increases the interest rate or otherwise modifies the
terms of the Obligation in any way that materially and adversely affects the
liability of Guarantor, Lender shall obtain the prior written consent of
Guarantor to such change.

      5. Right to Proceed Directly. In any event, Lender shall have the right to
proceed first against Guarantor without first proceeding against the Principal
or any property securing payment of the Obligation, or any other guarantor or
endorser of the Obligation.

      6. Waivers.

            (a) Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take
advantage of (i) any right to require Lender to proceed against security held by
it at any time or to pursue any other remedy in its power before proceeding
against the Guarantor; (ii) any defense that may arise by reason of the
incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of, or revocation by
Principal or Guarantor; (iii) demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of
dishonor, and notice of any kind including, without limitation, notice of
acceptance of this Guaranty, notice of default, notice of the existence,
creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of
any action or non-action on the part of any other person whomsoever, in
connection with the Obligation; (iv) any defense based upon any election of
remedies by Lender; (v) any election to proceed by nonjudicial rather than
judicial foreclosure; (vi) any duty on the part of Lender to disclose to the
undersigned any facts it may now or hereafter know about Principal; (viii) any
defense based upon failure (including negligent failure) of the Lender to
perfect or preserve its rights or priorities in collateral or to exercise
diligence or commercial reasonableness in the repossession, preservation or
disposition of collateral, including failure to conform to the requirements of
Section 9-504 of the Uniform Commercial Code; and (vii) the unenforceability
(because of bankruptcy or for any other reason) of the obligations guaranteed
hereby.

            (b) Guarantor hereby agrees that Lender may grant extensions of time
or other indulgences or waivers in respect of the Obligation without notice to
any Guarantor and without affecting the liability of any Guarantor under this
Guaranty in any respect.

            (c) Guarantor agrees that any inspections of property which is
collateral shall be for the sole benefit of the Lender and Lender's failure to
make such inspections or failure to find or require correction of any defects
shall not affect Guarantor's obligations.

      7. Representations and Warranties. Guarantor represents and warrants to
Lender that (a) the financial statements of Guarantor, if any, furnished to
Lender are true and correct and that there have been no material adverse changes
in the financial condition of Guarantor since the date of such statements; (b)
the loan by the Lender to the Principal confers direct and equivalent benefits
on Guarantor; (c) Guarantor is neither insolvent nor will be rendered insolvent
by the execution of this Guaranty; (d) except as disclosed in writing to Lender,
there is no litigation, claim or proceeding pending or threatened against
Guarantor which, if determined adversely, would have a material adverse effect
on the financial condition of


                                      -2-
<PAGE>

Guarantor; (e) Guarantor has full right and authority to execute and deliver
this Guaranty, and this Guaranty is a valid and enforceable obligation of
Guarantor; and (f) this Guaranty is not made or incurred with the intent to
hinder, delay or defraud any present or future creditors of Guarantor, does not
leave Guarantor with an unreasonably small capital with which to conduct
Guarantor's business, and is not entered into with the intent to incur or with
the belief that Guarantor will incur debts beyond Guarantor's ability to pay.

      8. Attorneys' Fees. If this Guaranty is placed in the hands of an
attorney-at-law for enforcement, Guarantor hereby agrees to pay the costs
thereof, including Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees for such enforcement,
whether or not suit be brought and whether at trial or on appeal or in
insolvency proceedings.

      9. Benefit. The Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall inure to the
benefit of and may be enforced by Lender, or its endorsees, transferees,
successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon and enforceable against each
Guarantor and Guarantor's legal representatives, heirs, successors and/or
assigns. Neither the death nor incompetency of Guarantor shall discharge or
diminish the Guaranty.

      10. Reinstatement. If at any time before or after termination of this
Guaranty, the Lender is required to pay or deliver back to the Principal,
Guarantor or any other person (including any trustee, debtor-in-possession,
receiver or other person on behalf of the Principal or any Guarantor or their
estates), any payment or property received, this Guaranty shall continue or be
reinstated as to such payment or property.

      11. Governing Law. This Guaranty shall be governed by the laws of Florida.

      12. Venue and Jurisdiction. Any suit, action or proceeding against
Guarantor may be brought in the courts of the State of Florida or in the U.S.
District Court for the Middle District of Florida as the Lender (in its sole
discretion) may elect, and Guarantor hereby accepts the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of those courts for the purpose of any suit, action or proceeding.
In addition, Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any objection which Guarantor may now or hereafter have to the
laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Guaranty or any judgment entered by any court in respect of any part
thereof brought in the State of Florida, and hereby further irrevocably waives
any claim that any suit, action or proceeding brought in the State of Florida
has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

      13. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be
invalid or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the other terms
herein shall not be affected and this agreement shall be construed and enforced
as if such invalid or unenforceable terms had not been included.

      14. Financial Statements. Guarantor agrees to provide to the Lender (a) on
or before 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Guarantor, current
financial statements and


                                      -3-
<PAGE>

(b) on request, copies of federal income tax returns and such other financial
information as the Lender may require. Guarantor shall provide signed personal
financial statements in such form and at such times as Lender may require.
Guarantor shall give immediate written notice to Lender of any adverse change in
Guarantor's condition, financial or otherwise.

      15. Preservation of Entity, Assets. Guarantor agrees not to (a) liquidate
or dissolve or permit liquidation or dissolution, (b) merge or consolidate with
any person, (c) sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all or a substantial portion
of its assets, or (d) pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution to
any person if, after giving effect thereto, the net worth of Guarantor would be
less than that existing on the date hereof. Guarantor shall not transfer or
dispose of substantial assets except in the ordinary course of business and for
full, fair and equivalent consideration paid to Guarantor.

      16. Notices. Notices required or permitted hereunder shall be sent to the
parties at the addresses set forth beneath their signatures or to such other
addresses as the parties may designate in writing to each other from time to
time. Notices shall be deemed to be delivered when delivered by hand or courier,
when sent by telex, or when placed in the United States mail, properly addressed
and with sufficient postage.

      17. Multiple Parties. If there is more than one Principal or Guarantor,
references herein to "Principal" or "Guarantor" shall include each and all such
parties, and all obligations and representations herein shall be jointly and
severally made by each of such parties.

      18. Enforcement. Suit may be brought against Guarantor hereunder one or
more times. Judgment may be had for the liability of Guarantor existing at the
time of judgment without prejudice to the right of the Lender to demand and
receive from Guarantor payment of any additional amounts for which Guarantor may
thereafter become liable, including, without limitation, any additional amounts
arising because of accrued interest on the Obligation or additional advances or
extensions of credit to Principal. If because of reductions in the outstanding
Obligation after the date of payment by Guarantor hereunder, the aggregate
liability as finally determined of Guarantor is reduced below the amount of such
payment, the Lender shall promptly refund such excess to Guarantor. Uncertainty
as to the final liability of Guarantor shall not be a defense to or ground for
delay of any action hereunder or delay in execution of any judgment obtained
with respect hereto.

      19. Additional Guaranty. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein,
this Guaranty shall be in addition to and not in replacement of any other
guaranties by Guarantor to the Lender, all of which other guaranties are hereby
ratified and confirmed as now existing, without diminution.

      20. Term. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the
entire Obligation is satisfied, there exists no further obligation on the part
of Lender to extend credit to the Principal and the Obligation has been formally
terminated. Any obligations of the Principal guaranteed hereby which survive
payment, satisfaction or termination of the Note or


                                      -4-
<PAGE>

other documents constituting the Obligation shall continue to be guaranteed
hereby notwithstanding the satisfaction or release of this Agreement.

      21. Waiver of Jury Trial. GUARANTOR AND LENDER HEREBY KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT EITHER OF THEM MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL
BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR ARISING OUT
OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO
BE EXECUTED IN CONJUNCTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF
DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. THIS
PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Guarantor has executed this Agreement as of the
date set forth above.

Signed, sealed and delivered
in the presence of:                         WASTE TECHNOLOGY CORP.

      This property is subject to covenants applicable to lands in the Appling
      County Industrial Park and drainage easements as depicted upon the plat of
      said Industrial Park and the hereinafter referred to plat of survey.

      For assistance in determining a more full and complete description of the
      lands hereinabove described, reference is made to that certain plat of
      survey by Merlin J. Tomberlin, G.R.L.S. No. 2477, dated May 26, 1995,
      which plat is recorded in the Office of the Clerk of Superior Court of
      Appling County, Georgia, in Plat Book 14, Page 19, and incorporated herein
      for a more fall and complete description and all other purposes.

It is hereby mutually covenanted and agreed that: (a) delivery of the Premises
is being made by Lessor to Lessee in its present condition "as is" and "where
is" and that Landlord has made no representation with respect to the condition
thereof; and (b) this Lease is made upon the following agreements, conditions,
covenants and terms:

      ARTICLE I. HEADINGS.

      Section 1.01. The various headings and numbers herein, and the grouping of
the provisions of this Lease into separate Articles and Paragraphs, are for the
purpose of convenience only and in no way define, limit, construe, or describe
the scope or intent of such Sections or Articles nor in any way affect this
Lease.

      ARTICLE II. TERM OF THIS LEASE.

      Section 2.01. This Lease shall exist for an interim period running from
the date hereof until April 30, 1996, with the initial Lease term commencing May
1, 1996 (the "Commencement Date"), and running for a term of sixty (60) months
(the "Term"), expiring April 30, 2001 (the "Termination Date"), unless sooner
terminated in accordance with this Lease. For the purpose of this Lease, the
term "Lease Year" shall mean any twelve (12) month period beginning on the first
day of the month next following the Commencement Date unless the Term commences
on the first day of a month in which event the twelve (12) month period shall
commence on the Commencement Date.

      Section 2.02. Lessee shall have the right and option to extend this Lease
for two additional Terms of sixty (60) months each (the "Renewal Terms").

      ARTICLE III. RENT.

      Section 3.01. Lessee covenants and agrees to pay without demand, set-off
or abatement, except as specifically otherwise set forth herein, and Lessor
agrees to accept as "Monthly Rent" (herein so called) for the Premises during
the Term and each Renewal Term a sum equal to the monthly payment due by Lessor
to SouthTrust Bank of Florida, N.A. on the $720,000.00 loan to be obtained by
Lessor on or about April 4, 1996, which loan is secured by the Premises and
Premises Building and fixtures (the "Loan"). A copy of the Promissory Note
detailing such payments is attached hereto and made a part hereof.

      Section 3.02. The aforesaid lease payments ("Monthly Rent") shall be paid
on the first day of each calendar month in advance, beginning May 1, 1996. In
the event the Commencement Date is other than the first day of a month, rent for
the initial month shall be prorated according to the number of days from the
Commencement Date through the end of the month.

      Section 3.03. All rental payments hereunder shall be made to Lessor at

as Lessor may designate in writing from time to time.

      Section 3.04. All payments other than Monthly Rent required to be made by
Lessee under any of the terms or conditions of this Lease shall be collectible
as "Additional Rent" hereunder whether or nor the provision requiring such
payment specifically so states (Monthly Rent and Additional Rent are
collectively referred to herein as "Rent"). Any payment of Rent not made by
Lessee within ten (10) days of the date or time herein specified for such
payment shall bear interest at the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum
(the "Lease interest Rate"), from such date or time until such payment shall be
made by Lessee.

      Section 3.05. The parties intend that this lease shall provide for a net
return to Lessor in the amount of the rentals set forth hereinabove. The
parties, therefore, agree that all costs, expenses or obligations related to
Lessee's use or occupancy of the Premises, shall be paid and discharged by
Lessee and shall be collectible as Additional Rent for all purposes of this
Lease. This section contemplates that Lessee shall he responsible for taxes,
utilities, insurance and routine maintenance attributable to Lessee's use of the
Premises.

      ARTICLE IV. ADDITIONS, CHANGES AND ALTERATIONS; EQUIPMENT.

written approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld, Lessee, at its sole
cost and expense. may make additions to and structural changes and alterations
in and upon any or all of the improvements now or hereafter located on the
Premises and may make additional improvements on the premises provided that:

      a. Such additions, changes, alterations or improvements, when completed,
shall not materially impair the strength or value of the existing improvements
located on the premises and shall be in conformity and compliance with all
applicable laws, building ordinances and regulations;

      b. Whenever the contemplated cost of such structural additions, changes,
alterations, or improvements exceeds $5,000.00, Lessee shall first deliver to
Lessor detailed plans and specifications therefor and Lessee shall grant Lessor
a period of thirty (30) days during which Lessor may approve such plans and
specifications or indicate the reasons for its disapproval of same. Provided
that the work to be constructed s in accordance with Subsection 4.01 (a) hereof,
Lessor shall approve such plans and specifications. If Lessor has not acted
within thirty (30) days of the date of delivery of such plans and
specifications, it will be deemed to have approved the same. Nothing in the
Lease shall imply or be deemed to be a consent or agreement by Lessor to subject
Lessor's estate or the Premises to liability under any mechanics' or other lien
law. All such additions, changes, alterations or improvements shall be and
remain part of the realty and the property of the Lessor and subject to this
Lease.

      Section 4.02.

      a. At any time, and from time to time, Lessee may, at its sole cost and
expense, install, assemble or place upon the Premises any items of Equipment (as

property of Lessee or other owner thereof and shall not become part of the
Premises.


                                       3
<PAGE>

      b. As used herein, the term "Equipment" shall mean all equipment,
appliances, machinery, signs, furniture and trade fixtures now or hereafter
installed or placed on the Premises, whether or not physically attached thereto,
and used or useable in the operation and maintenance of the business of Lessee
or any Permitted Subtenant (as defined in Article XII) or any other person on
the Premises. Equipment shall not include heating, ventilating and
air-conditioning plants and systems, electrical (except bus duct installed by
Lessee), sprinkler and plumbing fixtures and systems and other like equipment
and fixtures which constitute an integral part of the building constructed on
the Premises.

      c. Lessee may remove the Equipment at any time at or prior to the
Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Lease, provided that Lessee shall
repair any and all damage to the Premises resulting from such removal. For the
purposes of this Subsection 4.02(c), the term "Lessee" shall be deemed to
include subsidiaries of Lessee and any other Permitted Subtenant.

      d. It is specifically understood, however, that any items of equipment
financed with the proceeds of the loan referred to in Section 3.01b hereof
shall serve as security for said loan or any additional or substitute financing
until paid in full or release by the lender and Lessor.

      ARTICLE V. RECONSTRUCTION OF DAMAGED, DESTROYED OR REMOVED IMPROVEMENTS;
      REPAIR MAINTENANCE.

      Section 5.01. In the event that the Premises are damaged or destroyed by
fire or other casualty, Lessee shall have the right and option to either (i)
repair, replace or reconstruct the premises utilizing insurance proceeds, or
(ii) terminate this Lease, with Lessor and/or Lessor's mortgagee to receive all
building insurance proceeds to the extent of the amortized purchase option
balance due, with the balance to Lessor, and the parties having no further
rights or obligations with respect to the other. Lessee shall be entitled to the
proceeds of insurance on its contents, business interruption and other insurance
it may obtain in connection with the business conducted upon the Premises. If
Lessee elects to continue, the repair, replacement or reconstruction shall be
accomplished within such time as may be reasonable under the circumstances after
allowing for delays caused by strikes, lockouts, acts of God, fire,
unavailability of materials or labor, or any other cause or casualty beyond the
reasonable control of Lessee. The design and specifications of such repair,
replacement or reconstruction shall be as determined by Lessee after obtaining
Lessor's prior consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld; but such work
shall restore the Premises to not less than their value immediately prior to the
damage, destruction, demolition or removal.

      Section 5.02. Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, will keep and maintain
the Premises in good repair and in safe and sanitary condition and will, at its
sole expense, make all necessary repairs, replacements and renewals, which shall
be substantially equal in quality and class to the original work. Lessee will
conform with and do all things necessary to comply with every valid law,
regulation, order and requirement of any governmental authority relating to the
Premises and will hold and save Lessor free and harmless of all losses, costs,
expenses, claims or liabilities for the breach thereof, or failure to comply
therewith and for the breach of or failure to comply with any valid law,
regulation, order and requirement of any governmental authority relating to the
conduct


                                       4
<PAGE>

of Lessee's business in the Premises.

      ARTICLE VI. USE OF THE PREMISES.

      Section 6.01. The Premises shall be used only for lawful, proper and
legitimate purposes, and Lessee shall not use, nor suffer nor permit any person
to use, the same or any part thereof for any purpose or in violation of the laws
of the United States or of the State in which the Premises are located, or of
the ordinances of any political subdivision of the State, or any covenant,
restriction or condition affecting the Premises, nor for any immoral or unlawful
purpose whatsoever. Lessor warrants that the Premises are properly zoned for
metal fabrication and sawmill/planer equipment manufacturing.

      Section 6.02. Lessor shall not be liable for any encroachment upon any
property adjacent to the Premises by any future building or other structure
intended to be erected upon the Premises by Lessee. Lessee agrees to indemnify
and save harmless Lessor from and against any and all liabilities, penalties,
damages, expenses and judgments on account of the location of any such building
or other structure on or partly on such adjacent property.

      ARTICLE VII. CONSTRUCTION LIENS.

      Section 7.01. Lessee will keep the premises free and clear of mechanics',
laborers', or materialmen's liens, and other liens of similar nature, which may
arise in connection with any work performed on the Premises by or at the
direction or sufferance of Lessee; provided, however, that Lessee shall have the
right to contest the validity or the amount of any such lien or claimed lien, if
Lessee shall, within ten (10) days after Lessee is informed that the lien is
filed against the Premises, give to Lessor or any mortgagee of the Premises (a
"Mortgagee"), such reasonable security as may be demanded by Lessor or a
Mortgagee to insure payment of such lien and prevent any sale, foreclosure or
forfeiture of the Premises by reason of such nonpayment. On final determination
of the lien or claimed lien, Lessee shall immediately pay any judgment rendered,
with all proper costs and charges, and shall have the lien released or judgment
satisfied at Lessee's own expense. Should any such lien be placed on the
premises and the same ripen into a judgment which has become final, Lessor, at
its option, may pay any such final judgment and clear the Premises therefrom,
and any monies so paid out by Lessor on account of any such judgment shall be
repaid by Lessee to Lessor at the next ensuing rent day and shall draw interest
at the Lease Interest Rate from time of payment by Lessor until repaid by
Lessee.

      Section 7.02. In the event any lien is filed against the Premises or any
action is commenced affecting the title hereto, as between Lessor and Lessee,
the notified party shall give the other prompt written notice thereof.

      Section 7.03. Nothing in this Lease shall authorize Lessee to, and Lessee
shall not, do any act which will in any way encumber the title of Lessor in and
to the Premises, nor shall the interest or estate of Lessor in the Premises be
in any way subject to any claim whatsoever by virtue of any act or omission of
Lessee. Any claim to a lien upon the Premises arising from any act or omission
of Lessee shall be valid only against Lessee and shall in all respects be
subordinate to the title and rights of Lessor and any person claiming by,
through or under Lessor in and to the Premises. Lessee shall remove any lien or
encumbrance on its interest in the Premises within ten (10) days after it has
received


                                       5
<PAGE>

notice thereof; provided, however, that Lessee may in good faith contest any
such item if it posts a bond or other adequate security with Lessor.

      ARTICLE VIII. TAXES, ASSESSMENTS, AND UTILITY CHARGES.

      Section 8.01. Lessor and Lessee agree that Lessor is under no obligation
to provide and/oi pay for any services, including any utilities, related to
Lessee's use and occupancy of the Premises. Lessee will pay when due all
utilities and taxes, including personal property taxes, assessments and levies,
whether general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, of every nature or kind
whatsoever which may be taxed, charged, assessed, levied or imposed at any time
or from time to time during the Term of this Lease (including taxes for the tax
year in which such term begins) by the State, any political subdivision thereof
or any governmental or quasi-governmental body having jurisdiction thereover,
upon or against: (i) the Premises or the occupancy, use or possession thereof;
or (ii) any estate, right, title or interest of Lessor and of Lessee or of
either of them in or to the Premises. It is agreed, however, that (i) taxes for
the years in which the commencement and the termination of this Lease occur
shall be prorated, and Lessee shall be required to pay as its prorated share
only that portion of the taxes levied for the period of the taxable year for
which this Lease shall have been in effect, and (ii) Lessee shall not be
obligated to pay any installment of any special assessment which may be levied,
assessed or confirmed during the Term, but which does not fall due and is not
required to be paid until after its Termination, unless the special assessment
is attributable to Lessee's use, occupancy or possession of the Premises. All
amounts payable by Lessee but not paid when due may be paid by Lessor and
collectible by Lessor as though the same were Additional Rent hereunder.

      Section 8.02. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to require
Lessee to pay any transfer, estate, inheritance succession, or gift tax or taxes
imposed in respect of any devise or gift of any interest of Lessor or its
successors or assigns in the Premises, nor any income tax imposed in respect of
Lessor's income from the premises.

      Section 8.03. Except as permitted by Section 8.04, the taxes, assessments
and other impositions to be paid by Lessee in this Article VIII shall be paid
before any delinquency can occur therein or to any part or installment thereof,
and certificates of payment shall be delivered to Lessor upon request.

      Section 8.04. Both Lessor and Lessee shall have the right to contest the
legality or validity of any of the taxes, assessments or other impositions
herein provided to be paid by Lessee, but no such contest shall be carried on or
maintained by Lessee after the time limit for the payment of any such taxes,
assessments or other impositions unless Lessee at its option, (i) shall pay the
amount involved under protest; or (ii) shall procure and maintain a stay of all
proceedings to enforce any collection of such taxes, assessments or other
impositions, together with all penalties, interest, costs and expenses, by a
deposit of a sufficient sum of money or by such undertaking as may be required
or permitted by law to accomplish such stay; or (iii) shall deposit with Lessor,
or a Mortgagee, as security for the performance by Lessee of its obligations
hereunder with respect to such taxes, assessments or other impositions, such
reasonable security which will not be less than the amount of the taxes,
assessments or other impositions, then due as may be demanded by Lessor or a
Mortgagee to ensure payment of such contested taxes, assessments or other


                                       6
<PAGE>

impositions and all penalties, interest costs and expenses which may accrue
during the period of the contest. In the event any such contest is made by
Lessee, then, within thirty (30) days after final determination thereof, Lessee
shall fully pay and discharge the amount determined in or by any such contest,
together with all penalties, fines, interest, costs or expenses that may have
accrued thereon or that may result from any such action by Lessee, whereupon
Lessor shall return to Lessee all amounts, if any, deposited by Lessee in
accordance with the provisions hereof.

      Section 8.05. Lessor will promptly deliver to Lessee any and all tax
notices or assessments which it may receive relating to the Premises.

      ARTICLE IX. PUBLIC LIABILITY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.

      Section 9.01.

      a. Lessee does hereby release Lessor and shall at all times indemnify and
defend Lessor and save it harmless from and against all claims, suits, actions,
damages, judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties, costs and expenses for loss
of life, personal injury or damage to property arising from or out of
occurrences during the Term within or upon the Premises occasioned wholly or in
part by any act or omission of Lessee or breach of this Lease by Lessee or by
any person or entity under its control. If Lessor shall be made a party to any
litigation commenced by or against Lessee or by any third party, which
litigation is related solely to Lessee's use or occupancy of the Premises and
involves Lessor only as owner of the Premises, Lessee shall indemnify and hold
Lessor harmless and shall pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees
incurred or paid by Lessor in connection with such litigation. Provided,
however, that this indemnity is not intended and shall not extend to any action
filed by Lessee against Lessor as a result of any claimed breach of this Lease.

      b. Lessee also hereby releases Lessor from any and all liability arising
from (i) the operation, conduct or management of or from any work or thing
whatsoever done in, on or about the Premises or any building, structure,
equipment (including, without limitation, plumbing, heating or air-conditioning
equipment, water pipes and electrical wiring) or improvement now or hereafter
erected or placed on the Premises.

      Section 9.02. Lessee will keep in effect at its sole cost and expense and
with financially responsible insurance companies qualified to do business in the
state in which the Premises is located and acceptable to Lessor (an "Insurer"),
a comprehensive general liability policy either directly or indirectly covering
the Premises and providing coverage with minimum limits of liability not less
than $500,000.00 for bodily injury to one person, $1,000,000.00 for bodily
injury to any group of persons as a result of one accident and $1,000,000.00 for
property damage. Such policy shall name Lessor and a Mortgagee, if any, as
additional insured and certificates that such insurance is in force shall be
delivered to Lessor; such certificate containing an agreement by the Insurer
that such policy shall not be cancelled or modified (as it applies to Lessor and
a Mortgagee) without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Lessor and a
Mortgagee by registered mail, return receipt requested, and that no act or
omission by Lessee shall invalidate such policy as it applies to Lessor or
Mortgagee.

      Section 9.03. Lessee shall bring or keep property upon the Premises solely
at its own risk, and Lessor shall not be liable for any damages thereto or any
theft thereof.


                                       7
<PAGE>

Lessee shall maintain tire and extended coverage insurance, which may include
self-insurance, covering such personal property in such amounts and against such
risks as is customarily maintained by similar businesses, and provide Lessor
with evidence of such insurance coverage.

      ARTICLE X. FIRE INSURANCE.

      Section 10.01. Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, will keep the
buildings and the improvements now or hereafter located on the Premises insured
against fire (with extended coverage) with an Insurer in an amount equal to not
less than their full fair insurable value, exclusive of foundations, excavations
and pavement. Such insurance shall be so issued as to cover the several
interests of Lessor, a Mortgagee, and Lessee, and shall provide that in case of
loss or damage the proceeds thereof shall be payable to Lessor, Mortgagee, and
Lessee, as their interests may appear. Such insurance may also provide for
"rents coverage" insurance.

      Section 10.02. If after any loss insured against pursuant to Section
10.01, Lessor shall, pursuant to Lessee's options set forth in Section 5.01
hereof, either (i) proceed with repair or rebuilding the Premises, or
(ii) terminate this Lease.

      Section 10.03. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor certificates evidencing that
all insurance which Lessee is required to provide and maintain in effect
hereunder is in force. Should Lessee fail to provide, maintain or pay for any of
the insurance hereinbefore provided for, Lessor at its option may procure such
insurance. Any sums paid out by Lessor for any such insurance shall be repaid by
Lessee to Lessor on the first day of the calendar month next following payment
thereof by Lessor, together with interest thereon at the Lease Interest Rate
from the date of payment by Lessor until repaid by Lessee.

      Section 10.04. Lessor, Lessee and the owner of the Premises shall be named
insureds, as their interests may appear, in any insurance policy issued pursuant
to Articles IX and X.

      ARTICLE XI. CONDEMNATION.

      Section 11.01. In the event that the Premises, or any part thereof, shall
be taken in condemnation or proceedings or by exercise of any right of eminent
domain or by agreement between Lessor, Lessee and those authorized to exercise
such right (any such "Partial Taking" [herein so called] or "Full Taking"
[herein so called]) being hereinafter generically referred to as a "Taking"),
Lessor, Lessee and any person or entity having an interest in the award or
awards shall have the right to participate in any such condemnation proceedings
or agreement for the purpose of protecting their interests hereunder. Each party
so participating shall pay its own expenses therein.

      Section 11.02. If at any time during the Term there shall be a Taking of
the whole or substantially all of the Premises, this Lease shall terminate and
expire on the date of such Taking and Monthly Rent and Additional Rent shall be
apportioned and paid to the date of such Taking. For the purpose of this Article
XI, "substantially all of the Premises" shall be deemed to have been taken if
Lessee and Lessor agree, or failing such agreement, it is determined by
arbitration as provided in Section 11.05, that the untaken part of the Premises
is insufficient for the economic and feasible operation thereof by Lessee.

      Section 11.03. If this Lease shall have terminated as a result of such
Talking, the proceeds from the real estate award (the "Award"), shall be applied
for the following


                                       8
<PAGE>

purposes in the following order:

      a. First, to pay the unpaid balance of any mortgages affecting the
Premises at the time of the Taking; and

      b. Second, any balance of the Award remaining after payment of the amount
set forth in Subsection 11.03(a) shall be paid to Lessee, after satisfaction in
full of the purchase option balance due.

      Lessee shall be entitled to a separate award for removal and dislocation
expenses as granted to tenants of real estate under the Eminent Domain Laws of
the State in which the Premises is located.

      Section 11.04. If this Lease shall not have been terminated pursuant to
Section 11.02, after any such Taking, this Lease shall continue in full force
and effect as to the portion of the Premises not taken and otherwise remain
unaffected except:

      a. The Monthly Rent shall be reduced by an amount which bears the same
proportion to the Monthly Rent immediately prior to the Partial Taking as the
amount of the Award paid to Lessor or a Mortgagee and not applied to the
restoration of the Improvements located on the Premises pursuant to Subsection
11.04(b) shall bear to the value of the whole Premises immediately prior to such
taking as determined in the condemnation proceedings or agreement. Until the new
Minimum Rent shall have been determined, Lessee shall continue to pay Minimum
Monthly Rent as set forth in Section 1.01 of Schedule One and upon such
determination, an appropriate adjustment shall be made and Lessee shall receive
credit for any overpayment.

      b. Lessee shall, promptly after such Taking and, at its sole cost and
expense, restore such building or buildings to a complete architectural unit, in
which event Lessee shall be entitled to reimbursement from Lessor for the costs
thereof from the Award. Lessee shall be responsible for obtaining at its sole
cost and expense any replacement or substitute equipment required by it.

      c. The Award shall be paid to Lessor and applied first to restoration as
set forth in Subsection 11.04(b) and any balance of the Award shall be the
property of Lessor subject to an obligation to make a Minimum Annual Rent
adjustment as set forth in Subsection 11.04(a).

      Section 11.05. In the event of any dispute between Lessor and Lessee with
respect to any issue of fact (other than one determined by the condemnation
court or board or other body authorized to make the award) arising out of a
Taking set forth in this Article XI, such dispute shall be resolved by
arbitration in accordance with the Georgia Arbitration Special Statutory
Proceedings (O.C.G.A. Sections 9-9-30, et.seq.).

      ARTICLE XII. ASSIGNMENTS, TRANSFERS, AND SUBLETING.

      Section 12.01. Any assignment or subletting of Lessee's rights in this
Lease shall require the prior written consent of Lessor.

      Section 12.02. This Lease may be assigned or transferred by Lessor without
limitation; provided that (except in the case of assignments to a Mortgagee)
twenty (20) days' prior notice of the assignment or transfer is given to Lessee;
and upon such assignment or transfer, which shall be subject to this Lease, and
notice to Lessee thereof, the individuals and corporate entity now comprising
Lessor shall be relieved of any liability hereunder thereafter accruing;
provided, further, that any successor or assignee


                                       9
<PAGE>

assumes all obligations and covenants of Lessor under this Lease and immediately
thereafter is in compliance therewith. In the event of an assignment of this
Lease by Lessor to a Mortgagee, Lessee agrees upon notice to pay all Monthly
Rent and Additional Rent directly to such Mortgagee.

      ARTICLE XIII. EXPENSES OF ENFORCEMENT; LESSEE'S BANKRUPTCY TERMINATION;
      SURRENDER OF PREMISES.

      Section 13.01.

      a. Either party hereto shall pay all reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses incurred by the other in enforcing any of the obligations under this
Lease.

      b. Subject to the notice requirements of this Article XIII, if Lessee
shall default in the observance or performance of any of its obligations
hereunder, Lessor may perform such obligations after fifteen (15) days notice to
Lessee. If Lessor, in connection therewith or in connection with any default by
Lessee in the covenant to pay Rent hereunder, makes any expenditure or incurs
any obligations for the payment of money, including, but not limited to,
reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred in instituting, prosecuting or
defending any action or proceeding, such sums so paid or obligations incurred,
together with interest at the Lease Interest Rate, shall be deemed to be
Additional Rent hereunder and shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor upon demand in
accordance with the provisions of Article III. If the Term shall have expired or
this Lease shall have been terminated at the time Lessor makes such expenditures
or incurs such obligations, such sums shall be recoverable by Lessor as
damages.

      Section 13.02.

      a. If Lessee defaults under this Lease, and such default shall continue
for ten (10) days following notice thereof from Lessor, in the payment of Rent
due hereunder, or of any other sum required to be paid by Lessee under this
Lease, or under the terms of any other agreement between the parties, or if
default shall be made, and shall continue for fifteen (15) days following
notice, in the performance of any of the other terms, covenants or conditions
which Lessee is required to observe and perform under the Lease or if the
interest of Lessee in this Lease shall be levied upon execution or other legal
process, or if any petition shall be filed by or against Lessee in a court of
bankruptcy, or if Lessee shall be declared insolvent according to law, or make
an assignment for the benefit of creditors or petition for or enter into an
arrangement, or if Lessee shall abandon or vacate the Premises during the Term,
then Lessor may, but need not, treat the occurrence of any one or more of the
foregoing events as a breach of this Lease, and thereupon may, at its option,
terminate this Lease, repossess the Premises in accordance with the provisions
hereof, and be entitled to recover immediately, as damages, the total amount of
Rent and any other charges due and to be paid by Lessee during the balance of
the Term, less the fair rental value of the Premises for said period, together
with any other sum of money owed by Lessee to Lessor.

      b. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if Lessee
defaults, other than in the payment of Rent or other monies due, and such
default cannot with due diligence be cured within the fifteen (15) day period
(assuming Lessee has initiated action to cure within the fifteen (15) day
period), Lessee shall have the time to cure extended for such period as may be
necessary to complete such cure with all diligence.


                                       10
<PAGE>

      Section 13.03.

      a. If following the filing of a petition by or against Lessee in a
bankruptcy court, Lessor shall not be permitted to terminate this Lease because
of the provisions of Title 11 of the United States Code relating to Bankruptcy,
as amended (the "Bankruptcy Code"), then Lessee (including Lessee as a
"Debtor-in-Possession") or any trustee for Lessee agrees promptly, within no
more than fifteen (15) days upon request by Lessor to the Bankruptcy Court, to
assume or reject this Lease.

      b. Lessee or any trustee for Lessee may only assume this Lease if (i) it
cures or provides adequate assurance that Lessee or the trustee will promptly
cure any default hereunder, (ii) it compensates or provides adequate assurance
that Lessee will promptly compensate Lessor for any actual pecuniary loss to
Lessor resulting from Lessee's default, and (iii) it provides adequate assurance
of future performance under this Lease by Lessee. To the extent permitted by
law, in no event after the assumption of this Lease by Lessee or any trustee for
Lessee shall any then existing default remain uncured for a period in excess of
that permitted by this Lease. Adequate assurance of future performance of this
Lease shall include, without limitation, adequate assurance (i) of the source of
Rent required to be paid by Lessee hereunder, and (ii) that assumption or
permitted assignment of this Lease will not breach any provision hereunder.

      Section 13.04.

      a. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, whether by
lapse of time, operation of law or pursuant to the provisions of this Lease,
Lessee shall surrender the Premises (including approved alterations, additions
or improvements made pursuant to Articles IV and V) in good condition and
repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, remove all of its personal property
from the Premises and repair any damage to the Premises caused by such removal.

      b. If Lessee shall fail or refuse to restore the Premises, Lessor may do
so and recover its cost from Lessee for so doing. If Lessee shall fail or refuse
to comply with Lessee's duty to remove all personal property from the Premises
and the building upon the expiration or termination of this Lease and after
ten (10) days' of posting written notice to Lessee, the parties hereto agree and
stipulate that Lessor may, at its election (i) treat such failure or refusal as
an offer by Lessee to transfer title to such personal property to Lessor, in
which event the title thereto shall thereupon pass under this Lease as a bill of
sale, or (ii) treat such failure or refusal as conclusive evidence, on which
Lessor shall be entitled to rely absolutely, that Lessee has forever abandoned
such personal property. In either event, Lessor may, with or without accepting
title thereto, keep or remove, store, destroy, discard or otherwise dispose of
all or any part thereof in any manner that Lessor shall choose without incurring
liability to Lessee or to any other person. In connection with any such
disposition, Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages. In no
event shall Lessor ever become or be charged with the duties of a bailee of any
personal property of Lessee. The failure of Lessee to remove any personal
property from the Premises shall forever bar Lessee from bringing any action or
asserting any liability against Lessor with respect to any such property which
Lessee fails to remove.

      ARTICLE XIV. OWNERSHIP AND POSSESSION WARRANTY; USUFRUCT.

      Section 14.01. Lessor warrants unto Lessee that Lessor has sole,
unencumbered


                                       11
<PAGE>

ownership of the currently unimproved Premises, with full right and authority to
enter into this Lease and to grant the option to purchase contained in Article
XXXI hereof.

      Section 14.02. If Lessee shall perform all of its covenants, agreements
and obligations hereunder, Lessor covenants and agrees that Lessee shall have
the peaceful and quiet enjoyment of the Premises throughout the Term without
hindrance on the part of Lessor, or persons claiming through Lessor.

      Section 14.03. It is understood and agreed that this Lease grants a
usufruct only, with no estate passing out of Lessor.

      ARTICLE XV. HOLDING OVER BY LESSEE.

      Section 15.01. If Lessee holds over or remains in possession or occupancy
of the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the Primary Term or
any extended term (if such option has been provided for in this Lease and has
been properly exercised by Lessee) or after any sooner termination of this
Lease, without a proper exercise of any extension option or without another
written agreement leasing the Premises being actually made and entered into by
Lessor and Lessee, and only if Rent is paid by Lessee and accepted by Lessor for
or during any period of time Lessee so holds over or remains in possession or
occupancy, such holding over or continued possession or occupancy shall create
only a tenancy from month to month at a mutually agreeable rental but no less
than the last Minimum Monthly Rent in effect on the last day of the Term or any
extension thereof then in effect and upon all the terms, covenants and
conditions, (other than length of the Term and extension thereof), set forth in
this Lease, which may at any time be terminated by either Lessor or Lessee by
giving to the other thirty (30) days prior notice of its intention to terminate
the same.

      ARTICLE XVI. WAIVERS.

      Section 16.01. No waiver by Lessor of any breach by Lessee of any of its
obligations or agreements, or the terms, covenants and conditions hereunder
shall be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other
covenants, agreements or obligations, nor shall any forbearance by Lessor to
seek a remedy for any breach by Lessee be deemed a waiver by Lessor of its
rights or remedies with respect to such breach.

      ARTICLE XVII. TERMINATION.

      Section 17.01. At the termination of this Lease or upon repossession by
Lessor for any reason, Lessee and any subtenants under Lessee, and any and all
persons holding or claiming under Lessee, shall surrender possession of the
Premises to Lessor as provided in Section 13.04 hereof.

      Section 17.02. At the termination of this Lease for any cause, provided
Rent and other charges shall have been fully paid, Lessee and any subtenants
under Lessee, and any and all persons holding or claiming under Lessee, shall
have the right to remove from the Premises all personal property, tools,
machinery and trade fixtures and Equipment installed by Lessee or any person
holding under Lessee at its own expense, irrespective of how any of such
property may be attached to the Premises; provided, however, that Lessee shall

removal of such property.

      ARTICLE XVIII. COVENANTS TO RUN WITH THE LAND.

      Section 18.01. All covenants, agreements, and engagements in this Lease
shall be

      Section 21.01. This Lease and Lessee's leasehold estate shall be
subordinate and subject in all respects to any presently existing mortgage or
mortgages which are liens against the Premises and, at Lessor's request, Lessee
shall execute and deliver to Lessor an instrument in recordable form confirming
such subordination; provided that such subordination shall not affect the
respective rights of Lessor, Lessee and any mortgagee under Article XII hereof;
and, provided further, that Lessor will use its best efforts to secure for

recordable form whereby any Mortgagee or proposed mortgagee agrees that Lessee
shall not be interfered with or disturbed in its use, possession and enjoyment
of the Premises by the mortgagee, or any person or firm claiming under the

      Section 24.01. The specific remedies to which Lessor or Lessee may resort
under the terms of this Lease are cumulative and are not intended to be
exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which they may be
lawfully entitled in case of any breach or threatened breach by either of them
of any provision of this Lease. The failure of either party to insist in any one
or more cases upon the strict performance of any of the covenants of this Lease,

of any installment of Rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant hereof
shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. This Lease and the Schedules and
Exhibits attached to this Lease and made a part hereof set forth all the

and Lessee concerning the Property, and there are no covenants, promises,
agreements, conditions or understandings, heretofore made, either oral or

enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

                                       AND
                      IN COMPLIANCE WITH BULK TRANSFER ACT

STATE OF GEORGIA
COUNTY OF APPLING

      Personally appeared before the undersigned attesting officer, duly
authorized to administer oaths in and for said State and County, Ted C. Flood,
who, being duly sworn on oath, deposes and states upon personal knowledge as
follows:

                                       1.

       Deponent is a resident of Duval County, Florida, of legal age and sui
juris, and is Secretary of International Press & Shear Corp. ("IPSC"), a Georgia
corporation, which owns and operates a baling press manufacturing business at
396 Frost Industrial Boulevard, Baxley, Appling County, Georgia
(the "Business").

                                       2.

      IPSC is as of the date hereof the sole owner of the Business (except land
and building leased from the Development Authority of Appling County) and all of
the assets thereof with full right to sell, transfer and deliver the same.

                                       3.

      The assets of the Business, including all of the Purchased Assets as
defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement entered into between IPSC and IPS Balers
Inc. dated as of December 10, 1999 are free and clear of all debts,
liabilities, obligations and encumbrances, other than as set forth in Exhibit A
attached hereto.

                                       4.

      The list of Accounts Payable attached as Exhibit F to the said Asset
Purchase Agreement is true and accurate as of the date hereof.

                                       5.

      There are no suits pending or threatened or outstanding judgments rendered
against IPSC or the Business in any Court of the States of Georgia or Florida or
elsewhere in the United States of America, and there are no replevins,
attachments, executions or other writs, summonses or processes issued against
it; that IPSC has not filed any petition in bankruptcy, nor has any petition in

<PAGE>

bankruptcy been filed against it, and IPSC has not been adjudicated a bankrupt,
or been granted any order of relief by any bankruptcy court.

                                       6.

      This affidavit is made to induce IPS Balers Inc. (and Sidney Wildes and
Forrest Wildes as Guarantors of certain Assumed Liabilities) to accept the
transfer of the assets of IPSC, but not the Business itself, and to pay the
consideration therefor specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of
December 10, 1999.

                                       7.

      This affidavit is further given for the benefit of the said purchaser in
compliance with the Georgia Uniform Commercial Code Bulk Transfer Act.

      This 10th day of December, 1999.


                                                      /s/ Ted C. Flood
