Pomerantz agrees to any further extension, which extension shall be within
Pomerantz' sole discretion. Pomerantz shall have no obligation under this
Section 2(b) in the event of a termination of this Agreement in accordance with
its terms due to 1) Client's negligent or willful misconduct or 2) Client's
failure to pay a correct invoice when due. However, in the event that Client has
asserted a good faith dispute regarding an invoice which does not comport with a
Data Report (as defined below) and the subject outstanding invoice was the basis
for the termination, then providedClient has paid, and continues to pay
post-termination, all correct invoices and undisputed invoices when due, then
Pomerantz shall provide the post-termination Services outlined in this
Section 2(b). Client acknowledges and agrees that its payment obligations for
such personnel shall survive termination of this Agreement for the purpose of
paying Pomerantz for such assignments. In the event that this Agreement is
terminated, Client will neither be obligated to nor prohibited from employing

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        3.    Payment for Services.    

        (a)  Client shall pay to Pomerantz the agreed upon rates for each
Subject Personnel performing Services for Client in accordance with the rates
set forth on Schedule A. Schedule A may be amended from time to time during the
Term upon the written, executed agreement of the parties, to reflect changes in
statutory rates and wage base or otherwise, and as so amended, the new
Schedule A shall be attached to and made part of this Agreement.

        (b)  Client shall, in addition to other items to reimburse Pomerantz,
also reimburse Pomerantz for any travel and entertainment expenses incurred by
the Subject Personnel, subject to the prior written approval by Client of the
approximate amount of the expense to be incurred. Pomerantz shall direct its
Subject Personnel to submit requests for reimbursement on Pomerantz's form of
expense report, to be accompanied by original receipts for all such expenses.
Pomerantz shall maintain and store all original receipts for which
reimbursements are made. Pomerantz shall submit to Client invoices for those
expenses to be reimbursed hereunder, which shall be paid in accordance with the
payment term in Schedule A. For the avoidance of doubt, Client and Pomerantz
acknowledge and agree that no markup will be charged to or paid by Client on
expense reimbursements. Upon Client's request, Pomerantz shall provide to Client
photocopies of any supporting receipts.

        (c)  Pomerantz shall provide an invoice to the Client on a periodic
basis agreed to by the parties and as detailed on Schedule A, for the Services
performed, on the next Monday (or the next business day thereafter if the Monday
is a legal holiday) after the Subject Personnel data report (the "Data Report")
is completed and submitted by Client by Thursday for each Subject Personnel
performing Services during the immediately preceding week. Client's Data Report
is populated and completed as Subject Personnel use scanners at their job
site(s) to enter mileage, number of hours worked, number of SKU's scanned and
piece rate or fixed rate. Client shall review and approve this Data Report, and
then submit it to Pomerantz, and Pomerantz shall use the information in the Data
Report to calculate payroll (and taxes), pay the Subject Personnel and invoice
Client. As an example of the above-described invoice timing, for a two week
period Monday through the following Sunday, Client will submit the Data Report
to Pomerantz on or before the Thursday after the end of the two-week period, and
Pomerantz will invoice customer on the Monday (or next business day if Monday is
a legal holiday) that follows the Thursday submission. Notwithstanding Client's
approval of Data Reports submitted to Pomerantz hereunder, if either party
subsequently determines that information contained in those Data Reports was
inaccurate, which resulted in excess billing by Pomerantz to Client hereunder,
then it shall promptly notify the other party in writing and provide appropriate
documentation reflecting the error. If the excess billing due to an inaccurate
Data Report affects compensation or reimbursement to Subject Personnel and
Pomerantz has not yet paid the subject Subject Personnel(s)in accordance with
the inaccurate Data Report, then Pomerantz shall adjust any invoice previously
issued to Client to correct such error, and the Subject Personnel shall only be
paid for the correct amount. If, however, the excess billing due to an
inaccurate Data Report affects compensation or reimbursement to Subject
Personnel and the error is discovered after the subject Subject Personnel(s)
received payment in accordance with the inaccurate Data Report, then Pomerantz
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recoup such overpayment from the
Subject Personnel. To the extent that Pomerantz is able to recover such monies,
it shall tender such sums to Client to the extent that Client overpaid
Pomerantz. If, however, despite such commercially reasonable efforts Pomerantz
is unable to recover such monies, it shall have no obligation to reimburse
Client for any overpayment based upon an invoice issued against the inaccurate
Data Report.

        (d)  On or before January 1, 2003 and each anniversary date of the term
of the Agreement (if still then in effect), the parties agree that there shall
be a review to reflect the changes in the

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

statutory payroll taxes and unemployment insurance rates and similar changes
over such amounts then in effect. Such changes shall be reflected on amendments
to Schedule A attached to and made a part of the Agreement, and replace prior
Schedules.

        (e)  Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (c) of this
Section 3 of the Agreement: (i) although Pomerantz will endeavor to submit
timely the periodic invoices during the Term of this Agreement, and the last
such periodic invoice(s) upon the termination of this Agreement, Client shall be
obligated to honor and promptly pay all such invoices only if they a) are
correct, provided that any invoice which comports with the information on the
underlying Data Report and correctly calculates overtime, minimum wage, payroll
taxes and the like is hereby accepted by Client to be correct subject only to
adjustment as provided in subparagraph (c) of this Section 3, and b) are
submitted by Pomerantz within thirty (30) days after receipt of the underlying
Data Report(s) from Client; and (ii) with respect to any Data Report(s)
submitted by Client subsequent to the termination of this Agreement and for
which Pomerantz shall be obligated to make payment for the hours worked to the
Subject Personnel, Client shall be obligated to Pomerantz and shall make prompt
payment to Pomerantz for the invoices relating to such Data Report(s) provided
the invoices are a) correct, provided that any invoice which comports with the
information on the underlying Data Report and correctly calculates overtime,
minimum wage, payroll taxes and the like is hereby accepted by Client to be
correct, and b) are submitted by Pomerantz within thirty (30) days after receipt
of the underlying Data Report(s). Client shall have no obligation to honor or
pay any invoices for expense reimbursement that is submitted by Pomerantz more
than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the expense was incurred.

        (f)    Payment of all invoices for Services and reimbursements shall be
made by Client to Pomerantz on a periodic basis as mutually agreed upon by the
parties and as reflected on Schedule A.

        (g)  Pomerantz shall maintain all records of Services provided for a
period of three (3) years after the performance of Services for purpose of audit
by or on behalf of Client by its auditors, the Internal Revenue Service or other
governmental agency requesting such information of Client. Pomerantz agrees that
Client has the right, upon reasonable prior written notice, during normal
business hours, to audit Pomerantz for compliance with the terms and conditions
of this Agreement relating to 1) Pomerantz' insured status, 2) provision and
signing of new worker application packets, acknowledgments and
Confidentiality/Non-Disclosure Agreements and 3) Subject Personnels' immigration
status, payrolling practices, records and pay. Upon reasonable request from
Client, Pomerantz will provide Client with copies of requested documentation
within a reasonable time frame. If the requested documentation is confidential
in nature, it shall only be released to Client upon Client's written
confirmation that the information shall be treated accordingly. Additionally, if
the requested documentation is voluminous, Client shall pay Pomerantz for its
copying expenses so incurred.
