   44 Hollandbrook Road
   Whitehouse Station, NJ 08889

   Dear Howard,

   I am delighted you have joined our Board of Directors.  It is an
   exciting time for Bion and I know with your participation, we can
   accomplish our key objectives.

   In addition to your service as a Director of Bion pursuant to our
   Centerpoint Corporation ("CPTX") transaction, Bion desires that you
   provide consulting services to Bion (from time-to-time, as needed)
   with the initial projects being primarily related to the "catch-up"
   required relating to CPTX including without limitation gathering
   files, completion of audits and reports and getting CPTX current in
   its SEC filings.  Thereafter, your role will be to provide advice and
   consultation to Bion with regard to its general business matters and
   in relation to specific requests from management.

   In consideration for the consulting services to be rendered by you
   hereunder, Bion will pay Hollandbrook Group LLC ("Hollandbrook")
   $1,000 per month ($12,000 annually) in cash.  In addition,
   Hollandbrook will currently receive $9,000 in Bion common stock (at a
   deemed purchase price of $1.50 per share) and at the end of one year
   into our agreement, another $9,000 in stock at a  price to be
   determined at that time.  The Company shall also pay or reimburse you
   for all reasonable and properly documented out-of-pocket expenses
   actually incurred or paid by you during the performance of the
   services provided by you under this Agreement.  As such, you
   understand that you are not an employee of the Company and agree to be
   responsible for all federal, state and local taxes, withholding,
   social security, insurance and other benefits.  You also understand
   and agree that you are not entitled to receive any benefits generally
   available to employees of the Company, including medical, health or
   pension benefits.

   

   Please signify your agreement with the above terms by countersigning
   this letter in the space provided below and returning it to us.

   On behalf of the Company, I am delighted you are joining us as
   described herein and look forward to a long and mutually beneficial
   relationship.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
   contact me.



   Warm regards,


   /s/ David Mitchell by Kathy Paradise
