an agreement with Processor acceptable to the Company to obtain credit and

Processor, through the execution of Irrevocable Payment Instructions, to pay to

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

    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 July 16, 2007, amounts to $1,010,932.50, 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.
