(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.

(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.

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.

("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.

Hollis Crummey, Sec-Treas. ---------------------------------- H. Hollis Crummey, Sec. -2- 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 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- other documents constituting the Obligation shall continue to be guaranteed hereby notwithstanding the satisfaction or release of this Agreement. 21. Waiver of Jury Trial.
