BREAK THROUGH THE WALL
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A "YES" VOTE ASSURES THE proposal conditioned on
SAFETY-KLEEN ability to vote shares

numerous conditions precedent
- - No independent fairness opinion

SAFETY-KLEEN BOARD FAILED TO
CONDUCT A FAIR AUCTION
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

SEEKING COURT RULING THAT SAFETY-KLEEN
BOARD VIOLATED FIDUCIARY DUTY
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- - Break-up fees and expenses are excessive and unjustified
- 5% of equity value
- payable even if shareholders vote down Buyout Merger
- Buyout Group's "Second Bite" chills bidding
- 9-month tail
- -Safety-Kleen Board granted break-up fees in the face of Laidlaw Environmental's
proposal and publicly stated willingness to increase its offer

BREAK-UP FEES AND EXPENSES REDUCE SHAREHOLDER VALUE

$75 million ($1.28 per share)
- - Severance Costs
$50 million ($0.86 per share)

BUYOUT MERGER HIGHLY CONDITIONAL
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
