6th

      PURCHASE
AND SALE OF FUTURE RECEIVABLES

    

     

     

    
      	Purchase
      Price:  	$600,000.00; 
	Collection
    Amount: 	The Purchase Price,
      plus 2%
      fee (i.e., $12,000), plus
      interest calculated at the Interest Rate, plus Costs and
      Expenses 


    

     

    The
Company purchases from the Merchant, and the Merchant hereby sells, assigns and
transfers to the Company, effective upon payment by the Company to the Merchant
of the Purchase Price specified above, all of Merchant's interest in each of its
future credit card receivables arising from the sale of goods to customers
located in the United States (the "Future Receivables") due to Merchant from its credit
card processor (together with any successor, the "Processor").
Merchant (i) agrees to enter into an agreement with Processor
acceptable to the Company to obtain credit and processing services (the "Processor Agreement")
and (ii) hereby authorizes Processor, through the execution of
Irrevocable Payment Instructions, to pay to the Company all of the cash
attributable to the Merchant under the Processor Agreement; provided, however, that the
Company agrees to remit to Merchant, 85% of the cash received from the Processor
and the Company may retain 15% (the "Payment Percentage")
of the of the cash received from the Processor to be applied to the
Collection Amount until the cash payments applied by the Company equal to the
Collection Amount; provided, further, that if the
Company, in its reasonable judgment, deems that it is insecure at any time in
the timely payment of the Collection Amount on the basis of the then current
Payment Percentage, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred,
Merchant agrees that the Company may increase the Payment Percentage from time
to time to assure timely payment of the Collection Amount by retaining a greater
percentage of the cash received from the Processor. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Merchant shall, at all times, be jointly and severally be liable for
the repayment of all of the obligations hereunder and under any other agreement
between the Company and any Merchant. Merchant represents that it has good and
marketable title to the Future Receivables, free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances, other than any security interest granted to the Processor and any
financial institution ("Bank")
pursuant to the Processor Agreement. Merchant shall be responsible
to Processor and the Bank for all credit card transactions returned to Processor
and Bank for any reason, and the Company shall not be obligated to return any
portion (or all) of the Collection Amount received by the Company to any person
or entity, including, without limitation, Processor or Bank.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    Interest
shall be charged to Merchant by the Company at the per annum rate equal to the
highest prime rate (the "Prime
Rate") in effect during each month as generally reported by Citibank,
N.A. plus 3.75%
(the "Interest Rate"),
but the Interest Rate shall never be less than 12% nor more than 24% per
annum or the maximum permitted by law. The Interest Rate shall be calculated
based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days
elapsed and shall be charged to Merchant on the daily balance of all outstanding
obligations.

    


    In
computing interest on the obligations of Merchant to the Company, all checks,
wire transfers and other items of payment received by the Company
(including payment of the obligations in full) shall be deemed applied by the
Company on the day such payment is received or, if received after 2pm New York,
NY time, the next business day. However, the Company shall be entitled to charge
the Merchant's account one (1) business day of "clearance" or "float" at the
Interest Rate set forth above, on all checks, wire transfers and other items
received by the Company, regardless of whether such one (1) business day of
clearance or float actually occur, and such charge shall be deemed to be the
equivalent of charging one (1) business day of interest on such payments and/or
collections. The one (1) business day clearance or float charge on all payments
and collections is acknowledged by the parties to constitute an integral aspect
of the pricing of the Company's financing to Merchant. The Company shall not,
however, be required to credit Merchant's account for the amount of any item of
payment which is unsatisfactory to the Company, in the Company's reasonable
business discretion, and the Company may charge Merchant's loan account for the
amount of any item of payment which is returned to the Company
unpaid.

    


    In no
event shall the Interest Rate exceed the highest rate permitted under any
applicable law or regulation. If any part or provision of this Agreement is in
contravention of any such law or regulation, such part or provision shall be
deemed amended to conform thereto, and any payments of interest made in excess
of such highest rate permitted, if any, shall be deemed to be payments of
principal obligations, to the extent of such excess.

    


    This
Agreement is in addition to and supplements all previous Purchase Agreements,
between Merchant and Credit Cash, LLC, each of which remains valid and
effective. Merchant hereby confirms that the balance of all outstanding loans
made to Merchant, as of January 16, 2008, amounts to $812,780.72, plus accrued
interest.

    


    The
Merchant understands and agrees that all loans and advances by the Company to
Merchant under this Agreement, all other Purchase Agreements, and any other
related agreements, constitute one loan, and all indebtedness and obligations of
Merchant to the Company under this Agreement and all other Purchase Agreements,
and related agreements, present and future, constitute one general obligation
secured by the Collateral and security held and to be held by the Company
hereunder and by virtue of all other agreements between Merchant (and all
guarantors) and the Company now and hereafter existing. It is distinctly
understood and agreed that all of the rights of the Company contained in this
Agreement shall likewise apply insofar as applicable to
any modification of or supplement to this Agreement and to any other agreements,
present and future, between the Company and Merchant.
