                                CONSENT JUDGMENT

        Upon motion of the parties in settlement of this action, and with their
consent through counsel as indicated by the signatures attached hereto, and good
reason being shown,

        IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED, as follows:

        1. N-Viro International Corp. ("N-Viro") is hereby permanently enjoined
from filing or pursing an action for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 4,781,842
("the `842 patent") and/or U.S. Patent No. 4,902,431 ("the `431 patent") against
either RDP Technologies, Inc. ("RDP") or any other person as a result of their
involvement with the design, construction, ownership or operation of the planned
wastewater treatment facilities that have been the subject of this action for
Kalamazoo, Michigan, Lowell, Massachusetts, and Providence, Rhode Island.

        2. N-Viro and its respective officers, agents, servants, employees,
attorneys, and persons in active concert or participation with N-Viro are hereby
restrained and permanently enjoined from



                                      -20-

communicating in any manner to any prospective RDP customer, or any person
providing services in connection with such prospective customer's use of RDP
equipment, that using the equipment to practice the RDP EnVessel Pasteurization
Process, with or without any drying of the sludge or any mixing of the sludge
with a bulking agent, does or would infringe the `842 and/or `431 patents.


                  a. The foregoing shall not inhibit in any way N-Viro's right
         or ability to bring an action for infringement of the `842 and/or `431
         patents against any such prospective customer or person providing
         services.


                  b. In the event that N-Viro wants to respond to any inquiry
         made by a third party as to N-Viro's position regarding infringement of
         the '842 and/or '431 patents, N-Viro's response shall be limited to the
         following: "Enclosed are copies of N-Viro Patents Nos. 4,781,842 and/or
         4,902,431. N-Viro does not offer opinions on infringement by
         competitive processes and you should seek the advice of a patent
         lawyer." No other statements as to infringement shall be made by N-Viro
         in response to such an inquiry.

        3. The Court will retain jurisdiction over the parties with respect to
enforcement of, or resolution of any dispute arising from, this Consent
Judgment.

        4. All obligations and rights hereunder shall inure to the benefit of,
and be binding upon, RDP and N-Viro, and their respective successors and
assigns.

        5. It being represented to the Court that the parties have settled all
claims and demands made in this action, the Amended Complaint and Answer thereto
are hereby dismissed with prejudice, no award of attorney fees is made herein,
and each party shall pay its own costs.

        6. All pending and unresolved motions are hereby denied without
prejudice.
