involving a third-party claim (collectively, "Damages"), arising from or in

      10.3 Procedure for Indemnification -- Third Party Claims.

            (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


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.

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

tie/twister equipment, as private labeled products, at five percent (5%) below

                     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


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

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.

                                 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


      This Note is secured by and entitled to the benefit of a Loan Agreement of
even date herewith executed and delivered by Maker to Lender and encumbering
certain property as described therein. This Note is also entitled to the
benefits of a Deed to Secure Debt (the "Security Deed") and of other collateral
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
notice, time being of the essence.

      The Maker and all endorsers and guarantors of this Note, now or hereafter
becoming liable hereon, waive demand, presentment, protest and notice of protest
and dishonor and all other notices or requirements which might otherwise be
necessary to bind them.

      If the Maker defaults under this Note, it shall be obligated to pay all
costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by the holder in pursuing
its remedies hereunder and under any instrument securing this Note, including
costs and fees on appeal and in insolvency proceedings.

      This Note shall be governed by the laws of Georgia.

      MAKER AND PAYEE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE
RIGHT EITHER MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION BASED
HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE 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
EITHER PARTY. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR PAYEE TO MAKE THE LOAN
EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE.

                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



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-


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-


(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

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-


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.

date set forth above.
