                      AMENDMENT TO STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT


         This Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement (this "Agreement") is made
as of January 29, 1998 by AQUAGENIX, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Buyer") and
THOMAS TERRY, JR., an individual resident in New York ("Seller").

         BACKGROUND. Buyer and Seller are parties to a Stock Purchase Agreement,
dated as of November 30, 1997 (the "Original Purchase Agreement") with respect
to the stock of Lewis Tree Service, Inc., a New York corporation (the
"Company"). Buyer and Seller desire to amend the Original Purchase Agreement to
change the purchase price, to reflect changes to be made in the employment
arrangements with certain employees of the Company, to permit Buyer extend the
Closing Date to May 15, 1998, and to acknowledge that the Escrow Agreement
referred to in Section 2.5 of the Original Purchase Agreement is being amended
as of the date of this Amendment.

         The parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

         1. Definition of EBITDA. The definition of EBITDA in Section 1 of the
Original Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following sentence
to the end of the definition:

                  "In determining EBITDA, the payment by Buyer to the Company of
the Stock Bonus Amount and the Cash Bonus Amount pursuant to Sections 2.2(c),
respectively, shall be netted as a contra amount against the payment by the
Company to its employees of the Cash Bonus Amount and the Stock Bonus Amount, so
that the net impact on EBITDA is zero".

         2. Added Definitions. Section 1 of the Original Purchase Agreement is
hereby amended to add the following definitions:

                  "Cash Bonus Amount" -- the aggregate amount of the cash
bonuses payable pursuant to section 5.D of the Employment Agreements, section 1
of the Skivington Amendment and section 2 of the Employee Bonus Agreements and
the cash bonuses described in clause (iv) of Section 5.2(i).

                  "Employee Bonus Agreements" -- the Employee Bonus Agreements
referred to in Section 5.2(i).

                  "Employment Agreements" -- the Employment Agreements referred
to in Section 7.4(b).

                  "Skivington Amendment" -- as defined in Section 5.2(i).



<PAGE>

                  "Stock Bonus Amount" -- the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock of Buyer deliverable pursuant to the stock bonuses (but not the
stock options) described in section 5.D of the Employment Agreements, section 1
of the Skivington Amendment, and section 3 of the Employee Bonus Agreements.

         3.       Amendments to Section 2.2.

be (a) (i) Twenty-five Million ($25,000,000) Dollars plus (ii)a $6,945 times the
number of days, if any (including the Closing Date), the elapse from March 31,
1998 to the Closing Date, minus (iii) the Cash Bonus Amount plus (b) (i) shares
of Common Stock of Buyer having a Fair Market Value equal to the Applicable
Percentage of the Company's EBITDA for the twelve months ended October 31, 1998,
minus (ii) the Stock Bonus Amount (the "Securities").

                  3.2 The last paragraph of Section 2.2 is hereby amended to
read in its entirety as follows:

                  "Buyer shall deliver the Securities to Seller and the Stock
Bonus Amount to the Company within five (5) business days after the
determination of EBITDA."

         4.       Amendments to Section 2.4.

                  4.1 Section 2.4(b)(i) of the Original Purchase Agreement is
hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

                  "(i) Twenty-five Million ($25,000,000) Dollars plus (A) $6,945
times the number of days, if any (including the Closing Date), that elapse from
March 31, 1998 to the Closing Date, minus (B) the sum of the cash Bonus Amount
and any amount paid to Seller under the Escrow Agreement, to be paid by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by Seller;"

                  4.2 Section 2.4 of the Original Purchase Agreement is hereby
amended by adding thereto a new paragraph (c), which shall read in its entirety

Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

deposited by Buyer in escrow in the event of the Closing or termination of this
Agreement."

comply fully with its obligations under this Agreement) on or before January 31,
1998, provided, however, Buyer may elect to extend the termination date to May

Agreement to Seller's spouse, child, grandchild, or other member of Seller's
family (including relatives by marriage), or a custodian, trustee or other
fiduciary for the account of the Seller or members of his family or a family
limited partnership, limited liability company or other transferee in connection
with a bona fide estate planning transaction."
