This Executive Employment Agreement between Heckmann Corporation (“Company”) and J. John Cheng (“Executive”) is made effective on this 12 ^th day of January 2009 (“Agreement”). Company and Executive hereby agree to the employment of Executive by Company on the following terms and conditions:

Executive’s employment under this Agreement will commence on January 12, 2009, and continue unless earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. The term of the Agreement shall be extended daily so that the remainder of the term is one (1) year (the “Term”). The Term may be modified or extended by mutual agreement.

Executive shall serve as President of Heckmann Corporation, China Division. Executive’s duties shall include, but not be limited to, those typical of the president of an operating division as well as other duties as may be required by the Company from time to time consistent therewith, or where not, by agreement between the parties hereto, and he shall devote substantially all his business time to the position. Executive shall perform his duties during reasonable business hours from the Company’s offices in Hong Kong, or the Company’s offices in the People’s Republic of China, or with the Company’s consent, from his home office. Executive may be required to travel occasionally and/or for extended, reasonable periods of time for business purposes, including to any other office maintained by the Company.

Company will pay Executive a base salary in cash of US$175,000 per annum from which tax and other withholdings will be deducted, paid in equal bi-monthly installments. Executive’s base salary may be changed by mutual agreement at any time during the Term.

Company shall reimburse Executive in respect of all reasonable travelling, accommodation, marketing, entertainment, and other similar out-of-pocket business expenses necessarily incurred by Executive in the performance of his duties, provided that any expense reimbursement claims are supported by relevant documentation and are made in accordance with Company’s expenses policies. For all business-related travel, Executive will be entitled to reimbursement pursuant to the Company’s travel policies. Separate from reimbursed business travel by Executive in the performance of his duties, each year the Company shall reimburse Executive for three (3) round-trip coach class air fare tickets between the United States and China. Company shall reimburse Executive the sum of USD$4,000 per month during any Term of this Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the stipend shall not exceed USD$48,000 per annum.

Executive shall be entitled to participate in, and receive benefits as permitted by applicable law under, any pension benefit plan, welfare benefit plan (including, without limitation, health insurance), vacation benefit plan including 15 paid vacation days per annum, or other executive benefit plan made available by Company to its senior executives. Any such plan or benefit arrangement may be amended, modified, or terminated by Company from time to time with or without notice to Executive.

Executive may seek to terminate his employment by choice without any “Good Reason” by giving the Company three (3) months of notice in writing. If so, he receives only the base salary, pro rata bonus, and pro rata lapse of all restrictions on stock and vesting of equity grants applicable through his final day of service.

Executive may seek to terminate his employment with “Good Reason” by giving to Company thirty (30) days notice in writing, and Company shall have thirty (30) days after said notice to cure the problem. If uncured, Executive receives the amount of compensation reached by mutual agreement paid in a lump-sum, but no less than an amount equal to his most recent twelve (12) months’ base salary, bonus, and pro rata vested stock. Executive shall also remain covered by the Company’s health benefits plan for twelve (12) months.

“Good Reason” shall mean: (a) a material reduction or addition in Executive’s authority, duties, and executive responsibilities with the Company, or (b) a material reduction or addition in Executive’s authority, duties, and executive responsibilities combined with a “Change of Control” (as defined below), or (c) a change in direct reporting to anyone other than the Chief Executive Officer, or (d) a material breach of this Agreement.

Company may seek to terminate Executive’s employment by choice without “Cause” by giving Executive not less than thirty (30) days notice in writing.
