Exhibit 10.15

                              FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT

                  This Forbearance Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into
effective as of July 29, 2004, by and among BANK ONE, N.A., ("Lender"),
CONTINENTAL CONVEYOR & EQUIPMENT COMPANY, a Delaware Corporation ("Continental")
and GOODMAN CONVEYOR COMPANY, a Delaware corporation ("Goodman") (Continental
and Goodman are collectively referred to the "Borrowers" and each individually
as a "Borrower").

                                R E C I T A L S:
                  A. Pursuant to the terms of that certain Assumption and
Modification Agreement by and between Borrower and Bank dated as of March 7,
1997 ("Assumption"), the Borrowers assumed all of the Obligations of CONTINENTAL
CONVEYOR & EQUIPMENT CO. L.P., formerly a limited partnership organized and
existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and GOODMAN CONVEYOR CO. L.P.,
formerly a limited partnership organized and existing under the laws of the
State of Delaware (collectively, the "Borrowers") under that certain Credit
Facility and Security Agreement by and among the Borrowers and Bank (and/or its
predecessor Bank One Cleveland, N.A.)dated as of September 14, 1992; as amended
by a certain First Amendment to Credit Facility and Security Agreement by and
among the Borrowers and Bank executed on August 27, 1993; as further amended by
a certain Second Amendatory Agreement by and among the Borrowers and Bank dated
as of October 5, 1994; as further amended by a certain Consolidated Amendment
No. 1 to Credit Facility and Security Agreement by and among the Borrowers and
Bank dated as of July 28, 1995; as further amended by a certain Consolidated
Amendment No. 2 to Credit Facility and Security  Agreement by and among the
Borrowers and Bank dated as of December 13, 1996; as further amended by a
certain Third Amendatory Agreement to Credit Facility and Security Agreement by
and among the Borrower and Bank dated as of March 28, 1997; as further amended
by a certain Fourth Amendatory Agreement by and among the Borrower and Bank
dated as of December, 1998; as further amended by a certain Fifth Amendatory
Agreement by and among the Borrower and Bank dated as of April 29, 1999; as
further amended by a certain Sixth Amendatory Agreement by and among the
Borrower and Bank dated as of March 28, 2000, as modified by a letter amendment
dated as of March 25, 2002 (collectively, the "Original Credit Agreement"); and
as further amended by a certain Amended and Restated Credit Facility and
Security Agreement by and among the Borrower and Bank dated as of July 25, 2002
(the "Restated Credit Agreement") as further amended by a certain First
Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Facility and Security  Agreement dated
as of June 30, 2003; and as further amended by a certain Second Amendment to
Amended and Restated Credit Facility and Security  Agreement dated as of August
12, 2003 (which, together with the Original Credit Agreement and the Restated
Credit Agreement are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Credit
Agreement"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

                  B. The Borrowers' obligation to repay advances on the
Revolving Loan (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is evidenced by a certain
Amended and Restated Revolving Note (Revolving Loan), as amended by a certain
Second Amended and Restated Replacement Promissory Note, and as further amended
by the Third Amended and Restated Replacement Promissory Note (the "Restated
Revolving Note"). The Borrower's obligations to repay the Term Loan A (as
defined in the Credit Agreement) is evidenced by a certain Amended and Restated
Promissory Note (Term Loan A) (the "Restated Term Note"). To secure the
Obligations, including advances under the Restated Revolving Note and the
Restated Term Note, the Borrowers granted to Lender a security interest in
substantially all of their assets.

                  C. The Borrowers acknowledge that they are currently in
default of certain of the terms of the Credit Agreement, and by reason thereof,
Lender has no obligation to make additional advances under any of the Credit
Documents.

                  D. Under the terms of the Credit Documents, Lender is
currently entitled to exercise any right, power or remedy permitted to Lender by
law or any provision of the Credit Documents to effectuate repayment of all
amounts owing to Lender under the Credit Documents, including, without
limitation, the repossession and/or foreclosure and sale of the Collateral. The
parties agree that, as of July 29, 2004, there is due and owing from Borrowers
to Lender $10,017,408 as the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loan,
and $1,245,144 as the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan A, together
with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and certain costs and expenses.

                  E. The Borrowers have requested that Lender forbear from
exercising its rights and remedies under the Credit Documents.

                  F. Lender is willing to forbear in the exercise of its
remedies under the Credit Documents upon the terms and conditions set forth
herein.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and
covenants contained herein, the foregoing recitals (which are incorporated
herein by reference), and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

                  1. Forbearance. During the Forbearance Period (as defined
         below), Lender will not make demand for payment under the Restated
         Revolving Note and/or Restated Term Note, or exercise any of its rights
         or remedies under the Credit Documents with respect to the Designated
         Defaults (as defined below). For purposes of this Agreement,
         "Forbearance Period" means the period commencing on the date hereof and
         ending on the earlier of: (a) August 31, 2004; (b) the occurrence of a
         Default hereunder; (c) the termination of the forbearance period
         pursuant to that certain Forbearance Agreement by and among Continental
         Global Group, Inc. ("Continental Global"), N.E.S. Investment Co., and
         CFSC Wayland Advisors, Inc., dated as of April 26, 2004 (the "Global
         Forbearance Agreement"); and/or (d) either the Trustee under, or
         holders of 25% or more of the Series A and Series B Notes issued by
         Continental Global and administered by Norwest Bank Minnesota, Trustee
         under, that certain Indenture, dated as of April 1, 1997 (the
         "Indenture"), have declared the Series A and Series B Notes and/or any
         Liquidated Damages (as defined in the Indenture) to be due and payable;
         provided, however, that Lender's present willingness to so forbear and
         to forgo the exercise of any of Lender's rights, remedies, powers
         and/or privileges under the Credit Documents shall only be construed as
         a limited, one-time forbearance. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree
         that, notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) except as set forth herein,
         Lender reserves the right to enforce each and every term of the Credit
         Documents; (ii) Lender is under no duty or obligation of any kind or
         any nature to grant the Borrowers any additional period of forbearance
         beyond the Forbearance Period; (iii) Lender's actions in entering into
         this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of,
         or estoppel to assert, any of Lender's rights or remedies under any of
         the Credit Documents, applicable law or in equity; and (iv) Lender's
         actions in entering into this Agreement are without prejudice to
         Lender's right to pursue any and all remedies under the Credit
         Documents, pursuant to applicable law, or in equity available to it in
         the sole discretion upon the termination (whether upon expiration
         thereof, upon acceleration, or otherwise) of the Forbearance Period.

                  2. Short Term Extension. Lender hereby agrees to extend the
         maturity date on the Restated Term Note and the Restated Revolving Note
         to October 31, 2004. Such extension is a one time extension, and Lender
         shall have no obligation whatsoever to further extend, modify or amend
         such Restated Term Note or Restated Revolving Note.

                  3. Effect and Construction of Agreement. Except as expressly
         provided in this Agreement, the Credit Documents shall remain in full
         force and effect in accordance with their respective terms and be
         unaffected hereby. To the extent of any inconsistency, amendment or
         superseding provisions, this Agreement shall govern and control. Except
         as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Borrowers expressly
         acknowledge that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to
         constitute in any way a waiver, extinguishment, satisfaction, or
         novation of the Obligations and/or Borrowers' existing indebtedness to
         Lender. The Borrowers acknowledge that they have consulted with counsel
         and with such other advisors as they have deemed necessary in
         connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of this
         Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any
         presumption or rule requiring that it be construed against the party
         causing this Agreement or any part hereof to be drafted.

                  4. The Loans. Lender hereby agrees that during the Forbearance
         Period, Lender will continue to make advances under the Revolving Loan
         to or for the benefit of the Borrowers, which Revolving Loan shall not
         exceed the amount provided in Section 2.4 of the Credit Agreement, as
         amended. During the Forbearance Period interest shall not accrue on the
         Revolving Loan or the Term Loan A at the Default Rate.

                  5. Grant and Confirmation of Security Interests and Liens by
         the Borrowers. The Borrowers hereby confirm their prior grant of a
         security interest to Lender, and to the extent necessary, hereby grant
         a new security interest to Lender, in all of their respective
         Collateral. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the security
         interests and liens previously and hereby granted to Lender in the
         Collateral: (a) secure all amounts now or hereafter owing to Lender by
         the Borrowers, including, without limitation, all loans and other
         advances under the Credit Documents; (b) remain valid, first and best
         liens therein, subject only to the permitted encumbrances specified in
         the Credit Agreement; and (c) are not impaired by the execution and
         performance of this Agreement. The Borrowers further represent and
         warrant that as of the date hereof, there are no claims, set offs or
         defenses to the Obligations or to Lender's exercise of any rights or
         remedies available to it as a creditor in realizing upon the
         Collateral. The Credit Documents and the liens and security interests
         granted thereby and hereby, shall remain in full force and effect after
         the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein.

                  6. Representations and Warranties. To induce Lender to enter
         into this Agreement, each Borrower, jointly and severally, represents
         and warrants to Lender as follows:

                  (a) As of the date of this Agreement, the Borrowers are in
         default under certain provisions of the Credit Documents, including,
         without limitation, the following provisions of the Credit Agreement,
         and as a result of such defaults, Lender is entitled to exercise its
         rights and remedies as provided by law and in the Credit Documents: (i)
         Sections 8.1(O),(Q) of the Credit Agreement; (ii) Section 8.2(U) of the
         Credit Agreement, and (iii) Section 11.1(D) as it pertains to the
         Borrowers' Guaranty of payments due by Continental Global to its note
         or bond holders, which are hereafter referred to as the "Designated
         Defaults."

                  (b) Before execution and delivery of this Agreement by all
         parties, Lender had no obligation to modify, extend or otherwise amend
         the terms and conditions of any of the Credit Documents. The Borrowers
         agree that Lender's execution of this Agreement does not create any
         such obligations other than as expressly set forth herein.

                  (c) Each Borrower has full corporate power and authority to
         execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under this Agreement and
         has taken all corporate action required by law, its Articles or
         Certificate of Incorporation, and its By-laws or Code of Regulations to
         authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.
         This Agreement is the valid binding agreement of each Borrower
         enforceable against each Borrower in accordance with their respective
         terms.

                  (d) No consent or approval of any party is required in
         connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
         Borrowers, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement does not:
         (i) contravene or result in a breach or default under any of the
         Borrowers' respective Articles or Certificates of Incorporation,
         By-laws or Code of Regulations, or any other agreement or instrument to
         which any Borrower is a party or by which any of their respective
         properties are bound, (ii) violate any law, rule, regulation, order,
         writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award applicable
         to any Borrower, or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any
         lien, security interest or encumbrance on any property of any Borrower,
         whether now owned or hereafter acquired, other than liens in favor of
         Lender.

                  (e) All representations and warranties contained in this
         Agreement (including but not limited to the Recitals herein), in the
         Credit Agreement, and in any and all of the other Credit Documents are
         true and correct as of the date of this Agreement, and all such
         representations and warranties shall survive the execution of this
         Agreement, the termination of the Forbearance Period and the payment in
         full of the Obligations. The Credit Documents represent unconditional,
         absolute, valid, and enforceable obligations of the Borrowers. The
         Borrowers have no claims or defenses against Lender or any other person
         or entity which would or might affect: (i) the enforceability of any
         provisions of the Credit Documents; or (ii) the collectability of sums
         advanced by Lender. The Borrowers understand and acknowledge that
         Lender is entering into this Agreement in reliance upon, and in partial
         consideration for, this acknowledgment and representation, and agree
         that such reliance is reasonable and appropriate.

                  (f) The Recitals in this Agreement are true and correct in all
         respect.

                  7. Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness of Agreement. The
         Borrowers understand that this Agreement shall not be effective and
         Lender shall have no obligation to forebear exercising any rights or
         remedies under the Credit Documents unless and until each of the
         following conditions precedent (the "Conditions") have been satisfied
         on or before the commencement of the Forbearance Period: (a) Each
         Borrower shall have executed and delivered to Lender certified
         resolutions of its directors authorizing the execution, delivery and
         performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
         thereof; (b) Continental Global, N.E.S. Investment Co., and CFSC
         Wayland Advisors, Inc. shall have entered into and delivered to Lender
         a copy of the Global Forbearance Agreement; (c) neither the Trustee
         under, nor holders of 25% or more of the Series A and Series B Notes
         issued by Continental Global under the Indenture, shall have declared
         the Series A and Series B Notes and/or any Liquidated Damages to be due
         and payable; and (d) the Borrowers shall have paid Lender the Initial
         Forbearance Payment due under Section 8 and all other amounts owing
         under Section 9. The parties hereby agree that in the event the
         Forbearance Period commences and any Conditions have not yet been
         satisfied, then until the Borrowers satisfy such Conditions, the
         Borrowers shall be deemed to be in Default hereunder and Lender shall
         be entitled to exercise any of its rights and remedies hereunder.

                  8. Attorney's Fees and Expenses; Lender's Out-of-Pocket
         Expenses. The parties acknowledge that Lender has employed outside
         counsel and accountants for advice and other representation and has
         incurred and will continue to incur legal and/or other costs and
         expenses in connection with: (a) the monitoring, review and analysis of
         transactions involving the Borrowers and the Borrowers' books and
         records and financial condition; (b) the preparation, negotiation and
         execution of this Agreement and any and all other related document or
         any amendment of or modification to same; (c) recording and filing any
         of the foregoing documents or any other of the Credit Documents; (d)
         obtaining appraisals or title or lien searches; (e) any litigation,
         contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action, whether instituted by
         Lender, any Borrower, or any other entity in any way relating to this
         Agreement or the administration thereof or any of the Borrowers'
         affairs; (f) any attempt to enforce any rights of Lender against any
         Borrower or any other entity which may be obligated to Lender by virtue
         of this Agreement or any Credit Document, including without limitation,
         the Borrowers' debtors; and (g) any attempt to inspect, verify,
         protect, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of the
         Collateral. The reasonable attorneys' and accountants' fees arising
         from such services and all reasonably incurred expenses, costs, charges
         and other fees of such counsel, accountants or of Lender in any way or
         respect arising in connection with or relating to any of the events or
         actions described in this Section 9 shall be payable, on demand, by the
         Borrowers, jointly and severally, to Lender, and shall be additional
         Obligations of the Borrower secured by the Collateral.


                  9. Covenants. The Borrowers hereby covenant and agree that
         during the Forbearance Period, they will:

                  (a) Continue to comply with all covenants and other
         obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Documents, as amended
         hereby, including, but not limited to, making all payments of interest,
         principal, fees and other amounts as and when due and payable by
         Borrowers to Lender under the Credit Documents; provided that the
         Borrowers shall not be required to comply with or cure the Designated
         Defaults during the Forbearance Period;

                  (b) Give prompt written notice to Lender of: (i) any Default
         hereunder; (ii) any occurrence which might mature into a Default
         hereunder (whether by the passage of time, giving of notice or
         otherwise); and (iii) any other matter which might result in a material
         adverse change in the financial condition of any Borrower or the value
         of the Collateral (such notice will describe the foregoing matters with
         particularity and the action which the Borrowers are taking or propose
         to take with respect thereto); and

                  (c) Remain in compliance with all financial, collateral
         maintenance, and reporting covenants and requirements under the Credit
         Documents and this Agreement, except as same may constitute a
         Designated Default hereunder.

                  10. Sale of Lender's Collateral. Upon the expiration of the
         Forbearance Period, Lender shall have the right to sell, lease or
         otherwise dispose of the Collateral in accordance with the terms of the
         Credit Documents and applicable law. The Borrowers hereby consent and
         agree to such sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral by
         Lender. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrowers hereby
         waive, renounce and forever relinquish all right to notice prior to
         disposition of the Collateral required by the Credit Documents, and all
         other rights that are waivable under Article 9 of the Uniform
         Commercial Code, as enacted in any applicable state (and similar
         provisions of any applicable law of any other jurisdiction), whether
         such rights are waivable before or after default, including without
         limitation, those rights with respect to the compulsory disposition of
         collateral and with respect to redemption of collateral, and the right
         to notice of any disposition of collateral. The Borrowers further waive
         and forever relinquish any and every right of redemption, including any
         statutory right of redemption and any equitable right of redemption.
         This Section 11 and the irrevocable waivers contained herein shall
         survive the termination of this Agreement.

                  11. Default. A "Default" shall exist under this Agreement if
         any one or more of the following events shall have occurred:

                  (a) Any breach or default of any term, representation,
         warranty, condition or covenant set forth in, or any event of default
         under, any of the Credit Documents or this Agreement, other than the
         Designated Defaults;

                  (b) Any Borrower shall fail to keep or perform any of the
         covenants or agreements contained herein or any representation or
         warranty of any Borrower herein was false, misleading or incorrect in
         any respect when made; or

                  (c) The Trustee under, and/or the holders of 25% or more of
         the Series A and Series B Notes issued by Continental Global under the
         Indenture, shall have declared the Series A and Series B Notes and/or
         any Liquidated Damages to be due and payable; or

                  (d) Lender, in its sole discretion, determines that a material
         adverse change has occurred after the date hereof in the financial
         condition, operations, or business of any Borrower or the value of the
         Collateral.

No notice of the occurrence of a Default hereunder, or the termination of the
Forbearance Period, shall be due to Borrowers.

                  12. Remedies in Event of Default or Expiration of Forbearance
Period. Immediately upon the occurrence of a Default, and notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, Lender may, at its option, terminate
the Forbearance Period and the forbearance accorded to the Borrowers under this
Agreement, whereupon the liabilities of the Borrowers to Lender will be
immediately due and payable without notice, presentment, demand or other notice
of any kind. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Forbearance
Period, Lender may exercise its rights and remedies as set forth in the Credit
Documents and in any other document previously, now or hereafter executed and
delivered to Lender by the Borrowers, and all rights and remedies existing under
applicable law and at equity, including, without limitation, appointing a
receiver without notice, without bond, and without regard to the value of the
Collateral or the solvency or insolvency of any Borrower. All rights and
remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and Lender shall have the right
to exercise any and all other rights and remedies which may be available. Any
action by Lender against any property or party shall not serve to release or
discharge any other security, property or person in connection with this
transaction unless or until the Obligations shall irrevocably have been paid in
full.

                  13. WAIVER AND RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS AND DEFENSES. THE
BORROWERS, FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS,
SHAREHOLDERS, OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS, HEREBY FOREVER WAIVE, RELINQUISH,
DISCHARGE AND RELEASE ALL DEFENSES AND CLAIMS OF EVERY KIND OR NATURE, WHETHER
EXISTING BY VIRTUE OF STATE, FEDERAL, OR LOCAL LAW, BY AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE,
AGAINST LENDER, ITS SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, SHAREHOLDERS,
AGENTS, EMPLOYEES AND ATTORNEYS, WHETHER PREVIOUSLY OR NOW EXISTING OR ARISING
OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY TRANSACTION OR DEALINGS AMONG THE PARTIES, INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT,
THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR ANY PRIOR AMENEMENT OR RESTATEMENT, WHICH ANY BORROWER
MAY HAVE OR MAY HAVE MADE AT ANY TIME UP THROUGH AND INCLUDING THE DATE OF THIS
AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSES,
COUNTERCLAIMS, SETOFFS, DEDUCTIONS OR RECOUPMENTS. NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS
AGREEMENT PREVENTS ENFORCEMENT OF THIS RELEASE.

                  14. Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted
under applicable law or this Agreement and not by way of limitation of any such
rights, upon the occurrence of any Default, Lender is hereby authorized by the
Borrowers, at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Borrower, or
any other person or entity, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to
setoff and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special,
including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit
whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts), and any other
indebtedness at any time held or owing to any Borrower by Lender, including, but
not limited to, all claims of any nature or description arising out of or
connected with the Credit Documents, against the Obligations, regardless of
whether or not Lender shall have made any demand under any such document or
otherwise.

delay by Lender with respect to the exercise of any right, power, privilege or
remedy under any of the Credit Documents, this Agreement and/or applicable law
shall operate as a waiver thereof and the single or partial exercise of any such
right, power, privilege or remedy shall not preclude any later exercise of any
other right, power, privilege or remedy.
