2 THE ORGANIC CATALYST Harvest Quest Catalyst proprietary inoculants will produce a better quality compost, in less time, with less odors and fewer associated costs. NATURAL AND SAFE Microorganisms in Harvest Quest Catalyst are harmless to plants, aquatic life and beneficial soil organisms. Catalyst inoculants are a precise blend of enzymeproducing bacteria and fungi that are harmless to plants, aquatic life and beneficial soil organisms. Actinomycetes, which reproduce very rapidly, produce specific enzymes that are capable of breaking down tough, woody debris like stems and bark, as well as chemical contaminants like hydrocarbons. In a compost pile, fungi are responsible for the decomposition of complex plant polymers. They spread and grow quickly by producing cells and filaments that can attack organic residues too dry, acidic or low in nitrogen for bacterial decomposition. Working together, the fungi and actinomycetes dramatically accelerate the composting process. ENZYME- PRODUCING BACTERIA Actinomycetes multiply rapidly, breaking down both tough organic debris and chemical contaminants. EMPLOYING FUNGI Fungi break down complex plant polymers, clearing the way for bacterial decomposition on a finer scale.

3 BENEFITS OF HARVEST QUEST CATALYST INOCULANTS REDUCED TIME Produce high-quality, finished compost in as few as 60 days. INCREASED PRODUCTION Shorter cure times means more finished batches per year. SMALLER FOOTPRINT Fast production means less land committed to compost processing. EPA-RECOGNIZED The MSAP Method modification process is compliant with 40 CFR 503 regulations. ODOR MITIGATION Fewer turns means less odor and reduced particulate discharge. SUPERIOR QUALITY Harvest Quest compost has much higher counts of beneficial bacteria. LESS COSTS Maintain peak aerobic conditions without frequent mechanical handling. ANY CLIMATE The unique characteristics of the MSAP Method allow it to be used in any climate.

4 THE MSAP METHODOLOGY The MSAP Method provides sustained pathogen temperatures, requires far less turning, and significantly reduces odor, ammonia, VOC and dust emissions. In addition to the regulatory defined five turns in 15 days, a traditional windrow compost operation may require 5 10 more turns to maintain optimal aerobic composting conditions throughout the process. Using Catalyst inoculants, and following the MSAP Method, pathogen destroying temperatures can be sustained for days with only two turns. This not only reduces odor, VOC, ammonia and dust emissions, but also reduces fuel and labor costs significantly. With an accelerated curing process, less land is needed to produce the same volume of compost. And because the final product contains a much higher count of beneficial bacteria, Harvest Quest compost offers greater value and performance to customers. FORM WINDROW Ideal windrows for MSAP are 7 8' high and 16 20' wide. STATIC PHASE A 30-day static period allows the windrow to stabilize, eliminating odor potential. ADD INOCULANT Catalyst (inoculant) is added topically to each end of the windrow. FIRST TURN The first turn reduces compaction and redistributes moisture.

5 CAP WINDROW A 9 12" cover of suitable capping material insulates the pile. RAPID POPULATION Microbes proliferate rapidly and populate the entire windrow within 1 2 days. SUSTAINED TEMPERATURE Windrow temperature, from cap to core, will exceed 131 for several weeks. SECOND TURN After 14 days, a second turn redistributes moisture and conditions material for screening. SCREEN Removing larger particles results in finished compost with uniform particle size. SELL! Harvest Quest composts are higher quality and generate more value than traditional composts.

6 UNIQUE END PRODUCTS Harvest Quest technology can produce highly specialized end products that are POTTING SOILS specifically tailored for the applications in which they are employed. Harvest Quest produced composts are documented to have unusually high counts of beneficial microbes. By prescribing a specific Catalyst formula, these beneficial microbe communities can be tailored to deliver precise added value for the target applications. Extra nutrients and disease-suppressing qualities make superior potting soils that require less fertilizer and have elevated trace minerals. Comand top dressing blends Harvest Quest compost with PGAcertified sand for healthy turf grass that suppresses pests and disease. Our citrus solutions are designed to specifically prevent common diseases that can blight citrus groves. GOLF COURSES CITRUS GROVES SPORTS FIELDS NICHE PRODUCTS

7 E&P WASTE REMEDIATION HydroLoc is an organic amendment containing a proprietary blend of bacterial PROPRIETARY FORMULA HydroLoc is a uniquely created amendment that provides absorption, beneficial constituents, and a proprietary blend of microbes with broad metabolic capabilities. species customized for the degradation and remediation of petroleum hydrocarbons. To meet current remediation regulations, contaminated drill cuttings and soils need to be transported off site for treatment and replaced with new clean fill dirt. This is not only a high-cost solution, but can also introduce non-native flora and pests that can do further harm to the environment being restored. Using the Harvest Quest MSAP Method and our exclusive HydroLoc amendment, contaminated soils can be treated in windrows on site, rendering them environmentally clean within days. This eliminates the transportation costs, purchase costs related to new fill soil, labor and time associated with traditional remediation. The HydroLoc solution has been tested and proven at numerous drilling sites, and has been shown to be an effective remediation option. DETAILED PROCESS The HydroLoc remediation process alleviates issues with ph, EC and SAR and efficiently degrades TPH and BTEX into CO² and H²O. CONTAMINANT TARGETING Through specific blends of bacteria, actinomycetes, and fungi, Harvest Quest is able to target specific compounds to deliver a precise remediation solution. ONSITE SOLUTION On-site treatment removes environmental risk, reduces E&P truck traffic and provides a soil amendment suitable for the restoration and sustaining of native grasses. TESTED AND PROVEN With years of real-world application, numerous independent labs have analyzed and confirmed that hydrocarbons are indeed neutralized with HydroLoc remediation.
