3.	FORBEARANCE IN RESPECT OF CERTAIN EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

Acknowledgement of Default. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Existing Defaults have occurred and are continuing, and each constitutes an Event of Default and entitles the Holders to exercise their rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents, applicable law or otherwise.

b.	Forbearance.

In reliance upon the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company contained in this Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any documents or instruments executed in connection herewith, the Holders agree to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents or applicable law in respect of or arising out of the Existing Defaults, subject to the conditions, amendments and modifications contained herein for the period (the “Forbearance Period”) commencing on the date hereof and ending on September 30, 2008 (the “Forbearance Termination Date”), so long as the following conditions are met: (i) the Company strictly complies with the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) there is no occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, other than the Existing Defaults (a “New Default”).

ii.

Upon the termination or expiration of the Forbearance Period, the agreement of the Holders to forbear shall automatically and without further action terminate and be of no force and effect, it being expressly agreed that the effect of such termination will be to permit the Holders to exercise such rights and remedies immediately, including, but not limited to, the acceleration of all of the Obligations without any further notice, passage of time or forbearance of any kind. This Agreement shall be deemed to satisfy any and all requirements by the Holders to notify the Company of the occurrence of the Existing Defaults and satisfies any obligation by the Holders to give the Company an opportunity to cure the Existing Defaults.

c.	No Other Waivers; Reservation of Rights.

The Holders have not waived, are not by this Agreement waiving, and have no intentions of waiving, any Events of Default which may be continuing on the date hereof or any Events of Default which may occur after the date hereof (whether the same or similar to the Existing Defaults or otherwise), and the Holders have not agreed to forbear with respect to any of their rights or remedies concerning any Events of Default (other than, during the Forbearance Period, the Existing Defaults to the extent expressly set forth herein), which may have occurred or are continuing as of the date hereof or which may occur after the date hereof.

ii.

Subject to Section 3(b) above (solely with respect to the Existing Defaults), the Holders reserve the right, in their discretion, to exercise any or all of their rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents as a result of any Events of Default which may be continuing on the date hereof or any Event of Default which may occur after the date hereof, and the Holders have not waived any of such rights or remedies, and nothing in this Agreement, and no delay on its part in exercising any such rights or remedies, should be construed as a waiver of any such rights or remedies.

The Company shall cause all cash, all collections and proceeds from accounts receivable, all receipts from credit card payments, and all proceeds from the sale of any Pledged Property to be deposited only into its Deposit Accounts in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices.

The Company shall have valid and effective Deposit Account Agreements in place at all times after the date which is five (5) days after the date hereof with respect to all of its Deposit Accounts. No Deposit Account shall be established, used or maintained by the Company unless it first enters into a Deposit Account Agreement.

With respect to each Deposit Account, upon notice from YA Global, which may be given no earlier than the earlier to occur of (x) the Forbearance Termination Date, or (y) the occurrence of a New Default, YA Global shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to exercise its rights under such Deposit Account Agreement, including, for the avoidance of any doubt, the exclusive right to give instructions to the financial institution at which such Deposit Account is maintained as to the disposition of funds or other property on deposit therein or credited thereto.

In connection with the foregoing, the Company hereby authorizes and directs each bank or other depository institution which maintains any Deposit Account to pay or deliver to YA Global upon YA Global’s written demand thereof, which may be given no earlier than the earlier to occur of (x) the Forbearance Termination Date, or (y) the occurrence of a New Default, all balances in each Deposit Account with such depository for application to the Obligations.

COVENANTS

FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Company shall, from and after the execution of this Agreement, execute and deliver to the Holders whatever additional documents, instruments, and agreements that the Holders may require in order to correct any document deficiencies, or to vest or perfect the Transaction Documents and the collateral granted therein more securely in the Holders and/or to otherwise give effect to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and hereby authorize the Holders to file any financing statements (including financing statements with a generic description of the collateral such as “all assets”), and take any other normal and customary steps, the Holders deem necessary to perfect or evidence their security interests and liens in any such collateral.

NON-INTERFERENCE. From and after the termination of the Forbearance Period, the Company agrees not to interfere with the exercise by the Holders of any of their rights and remedies. The Company further agrees that it shall not seek to restrain or otherwise hinder, delay, or impair the Holder’s efforts to realize upon any collateral granted to the Holders, or otherwise to enforce its rights and remedies pursuant to the Transaction Documents. The provisions of this Paragraph shall be specifically enforceable by the Holders.

c.	CROSS DEFAULT. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that any default or Event of Default under this Agreement or under any Transaction Document shall constitute an Event of Default under each other Transaction Document.

RELEASE. In exchange for the accommodations made by the Holders herein, the Company does hereby, on behalf of itself and its agents, representatives, attorneys, assigns, heirs, subsidiaries, executors and administrators (collectively, “Company Parties”) RELEASE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE the Holders and their subsidiaries and their respective affiliates, parents, joint ventures, officers, directors, shareholders, interest holders, members, managers, employees, consultants, representatives, successors and assigns, heirs, executors and administrators (collectively, “Buyer Parties”) from all causes of action, suits, debts, claims and demands whatsoever known or unknown, at law, in equity or otherwise, which the Company Parties ever had, now has, or hereafter may have on or prior to the date hereof, and any claims for reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, and including, without limitation, any claims relating to fees, penalties, liquidated damages, and indemnification for losses, liabilities and expenses. The release contained in this Section is effective without regard to the legal nature of the claims raised and without regard to whether any such claims are based upon tort, equity, or implied or express contract. It is expressly understood and agreed that this release shall operate as a clear and unequivocal waiver by the Company Parties of any such claim whatsoever.

9.	PROVISIONS OF GENERAL APPLICATION

Effect of this Agreement. Except as modified pursuant hereto, no other changes or modifications to the Transaction Documents are intended or implied and in all other respects the Transaction Documents are hereby specifically ratified, restated and confirmed by all parties hereto as of the effective date hereof. To the extent of conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the terms of this Agreement shall control. The Transaction Documents and this Agreement shall be read and construed as one agreement.

Governing Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted according to the laws of the State of New Jersey and shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Any notices, demands, consents, other writings or communications permitted or required by this Agreement shall be given in the manner and to the address as set forth in the Transaction Documents.

Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE BETWEEN FACTOR AND CLIENT ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER FACTORING DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO.

Agreements

In consideration of the terms, covenants, provisions and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Secured Party, Borrower and Bank agree as follows:

Section 1. The Account. Bank maintains deposit accounts for Borrower, currently numbered ___________, __________, and ___________, and titled [_________________] (as such accounts may be renumbered or retitled, collectively called the “Account”). All parties agree that the Account is a “deposit account” within the meaning of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of ________ (the “UCC”).

Section 2. Control. Bank will comply with instructions originated by Secured Party directing disposition of the funds in the Account without further consent by Borrower. Bank may also comply with instructions directing the disposition of funds in the Account originated by Borrower or its authorized representatives until such time as Secured Party delivers a written notice to Bank that Secured Party is thereby exercising exclusive control over the Account. Such notice is referred to herein as the “Notice of Exclusive Control.” After Bank receives a Notice of Exclusive Control and has had reasonable opportunity to comply, it will cease complying with instructions concerning the Account or funds on deposit therein originated by Borrower or its representatives. Bank has not and will not agree with any third party to comply with instructions or other directions concerning the Account or the disposition of funds in the Account originated by such third party without the prior written consent of Secured Party and Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank is authorized to comply with any duly issued order, garnishment, subpoena and writ of possession or other such directions concerning the Account which it may receive from any court of proper jurisdiction or governmental agency or other appropriate party.

Section 3. Subordination of Bank’s Security Interest. Bank hereby subordinates all security interests, encumbrances, claims and rights of setoff it may have, now or in the future, against the Account or any funds in the Account other than in connection with the payment of Bank’s customary fees and charges for routine operation and maintenance of the Account, including overdraft fees, and for payment of the face amount of any checks or other items which have been credited to the Account but are subsequently unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds, or are recalled, reversed or returned for any reason, pursuant to its agreement with Borrower and for the reversal of provisional credits and for any amounts due Bank under Section 6 of this Agreement.

Section 4. Statements, Confirmations and Notices of Adverse Claims. Bank will send copies of all statements concerning the Account to each of Borrower and Secured Party at the address set forth in the heading of this Agreement. Upon receipt of written notice of any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim against the Account or any funds credited thereto, Bank will make reasonable efforts promptly to notify Secured Party and Borrower thereof.

Section 5. Bank’s Responsibility. Bank shall have no responsibility or liability to Secured Party for complying with instructions concerning the Account from Borrower or Borrower’s authorized representatives which are received by Bank before Bank receives a Notice of Exclusive Control and has had reasonable opportunity to act on it. Bank shall have no responsibility or liability to Borrower for complying with a Notice of Exclusive Control or complying with instructions concerning the Account originated by Secured Party, and shall have no responsibility to investigate the appropriateness or genuineness of any purported such instruction or Notice of Exclusive Control, even if Borrower notifies Bank that Secured Party is not legally entitled to originate any such instruction or Notice of Exclusive Control. Bank shall not be charged with knowledge of, and shall have no duty to inquire regarding, the contents of any document or any facts other than the contents of this Agreement and notices, if any, received by Bank from Secured Party.

Section 6. Indemnity and Reimbursement.

(a) Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Bank, its directors, officers, agents and employees (collectively, the “Bank Indemnitees”) against any and all claims, causes of action, liabilities, lawsuits, demands and damages (collectively, “Claims”), including without limitation, any and all court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees, in any way related to or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any action taken or not taken pursuant hereto, except to the extent caused by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or Bank’s knowing and intentional breach of Section 2 hereof.

(b) Secured Party agrees to reimburse Bank for any returned item against the Account for which there were insufficient funds in the Account to satisfy such returned item. Such reimbursement will be limited to the aggregate amount transferred from the Account as a result of Bank’s acting upon instructions originated by Secured Party pursuant to Section 2. Bank may not make a claim for reimbursement under this Section to the extent that the amount of any loss incurred by Bank was directly caused by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If Bank satisfies any such claim by charging the Account, the amount of Secured Party’s maximum liability for reimbursement obligations under this Section will be reduced by the amount of the claim so satisfied.

Section 7. Customer Agreement. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any other agreement between the Bank and the Borrower relating to the Account, the terms of this Agreement will prevail; provided, however, that this Agreement shall not alter or affect any mandatory arbitration provision currently in effect between Bank and Borrower pursuant to a separate agreement.

Section 8. Termination. Unless earlier terminated by Bank pursuant to this section, this Agreement shall continue in effect until Secured Party has notified Bank in writing that this Agreement, or its security interest in the Account, is terminated. Upon receipt of such notice the obligations of Bank hereunder with respect to the operation and maintenance of the Account after the receipt of such notice shall terminate, Secured Party shall have no further right to originate instructions concerning the Account and any previous Notice of Exclusive Control delivered by Secured Party shall be deemed to be of no further force and effect. Bank reserves the right, unilaterally, to terminate this Agreement, such termination to be effective ten (10) business days after written notice thereof is given to Borrower and Secured Party.

Section 9. Complete Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the instructions and notices required or permitted to be executed and delivered hereunder set forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and, subject to Section 7 above supersede any prior agreement and contemporaneous oral agreements of the parties concerning its subject matter. No amendment, modification or (except as otherwise specified in Section 8 above) termination of this Agreement, nor any assignment of any rights hereunder (except to the extent contemplated under Section 12 below), shall be binding on any party hereto unless it is in writing and is signed by each of the parties hereto, and any attempt to so amend, modify, terminate or assign except pursuant to such a writing shall be null and void. No waiver of any rights hereunder shall be binding on any party hereto unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

Section 10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of ___________.

Section 11. Severability. To the extent a provision of this Agreement is unenforceable; this Agreement will be construed as if the unenforceable provision were omitted.

Section 12. Successors and Assigns. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors or heirs, assigns and personal representatives. This Agreement may be assigned by Secured Party to any successor of Secured Party under its security agreement with Borrower, provided that written notice thereof is given by Secured Party to Bank.

Section 13. Notices.
