If any merchandise from the sale of which any Receivable arises shall be returned by or recovered from our customer, we shall forthwith pay you the full amount of such Receivable, either in cash or by the assignment of new Receivables hereunder, and until such payment, the merchandise returned or recovered shall be held by us in trust for your benefit, shall be segregated and identified by us as property held in trust for your benefit, and upon your request we shall, at our expense,deliver the same to you or for your account or upon your order to such place or places as you may designate.  You may sell or cause the sale of any such returned or recovered merchandise, at such prices and upon such terms as you may deem proper, and in the event of any public sale thereof, you may be the purchaser.  The proceeds of any such sale or sales shall first be charged with the costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, of and incident to such sale, and the balance, if any, shall be credited to our account.

5.             All amounts due you hereunder may be charged to our account at any time.  You shall render to us a monthly account current as of the last day of the preceding month.  Such account shall be considered correct unless, within *60 days*after the date of such account, we deliver to you written notice of any objections which we may have to such account.  In that event, only those items expressly objected to in such notice shall be deemed to be disputed by us.  All debit balances and Obligations shall be payable by us to you on demand and shall bear interest at the rate of interest then in effect (herein called the "effective rate") as hereinafter provided, such interest to be payable to you monthly.  For the purposes of this agreement, "effectiverate" shall mean a rate per annum (based on a 360 day year) which is one percent (1%) in excess of the prime commercial interest rate as announced from time to time by HSBC Bank USA, in New York, N.Y. (the "prime rate"), whether or not such announced prime rate is the best rate available at such bank in effect from time to time.  Whenever the prime rate is changed, an equal change shall be made in the effective rate to become effective simultaneously with such change in the prime rate.  In no event, however, shall the effective rate of interest hereunder be less than 4$ per annum (based on a 360 day year) nor exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be agreed to or charged to you under the law of the jurisdiction whose laws are applicable to such rate of interest.  Any such excess amount of interest is hereby waived and shall deemed to be a payment of the principal balance otherwise due hereunder.

6.             (a)On the last day of each month, you will credit us with the purchase price for our Receivables arising during such month which have been assigned to you and are approved, accepted and purchased by you.  However, if any Receivable as to which you have approved the credit standing of the customers shall not be paid by reason of the customer's bankruptcy or 

 

1

 

 

insolvency, you will credit us the purchase price thereof on the last day of the month of such customer's bankruptcy or insolvency.  The purchase price for such Receivables shall be the net amount thereof, as herein defined, less your commission as provided for in Paragraph 7 hereof and less interest on advances against such purchase price, as hereinafter provided, at the effective rate then in effect.

 (b)        Advances against the purchase price for the net amount of outstanding approved Receivables assigned to and accepted by you may be made upon our request, but at your sole discretion in each instance, in an amount up to *eighty five percent (85%)*of the net amount thereof, subject to our right to maintain a reserve as described below.  For the purpose of computing interest payable under this agreement, we will be charged with interest on the average daily balance of all sums advanced or charged to us under this agreement, at the effective rate then in effect and we will be credited with the purchase price for each account upon your receipt of payment thereof by a customer, allowing three (3) business days for the collection of checks and otherinstruments (the "Collection Days").  If, in your sole discretion you deem it necessary, you may retain a reasonable amount of such purchase price as a reserve to cover, among other things, customers' returns, allowances, deductions and disputes in the future, and as security for the payment of all our Obligations.  Interest for anticipation deducted by our customers shall be debited to our account, and proportionate readjustment will be made on the next accounting.

 (c)        As used herein, the term "net amount" of Receivables shall mean the gross amount of Receivables less returns, allowances and cash or other discounts to customers calculated upon shortest or longest selling terms, as you may elect.  On billing terms of "10 E.O.M." such terms shall mean with respect to invoices dated from the 1st day through the 19th day of a month that the due date of such invoice is "10 days after the end of such month"; and, with respect to invoices dated on or after the 20th day of the month, the due date shall be "10 days after the end of the next following month".

7.             In the account current to be rendered by you to us hereunder, you will charge and receive for your services hereunder a commission upon the net amount of the Receivables arising during the previous month, debited to us as of the fifteenth of such month, as follows:

*Seventy five hundredths of one percent (.75%)*

Commissions payable to you hereunder are based upon our usual and regular terms, which do not exceed sixty (N60) days.  On all Receivables on which additional terms or dating are granted by us, your commissions thereon shall be increased at the rate of twenty-five (25%) percent of the basic commission-rate, for each thirty (30) days or fraction thereof by which our regular terms are increased.  No such increase in terms, however, shall be granted without your written approval.  Your commission shall be charged to us, and we shall pay the same, in full with regard to any Receivable for which a credit memorandum has been issued by us, a copy of which shall be promptly furnished to you.

In computing the commissions payable to you hereunder, we shall pay you a minimum commission of *$3.00 on each invoice* constituting the Receivables.

The minimum aggregate commissions payable under this agreement for each year hereof shall be $24,000.00 chargeable to our account on a monthly basis.  *We shall be obligated for the*

*pro-rata minimum commission if the agreement is terminated at any time after the first contract year.*In addition, we shall pay you a one time set up fee of $750.00.

8.             Amounts owing to you or the Re-Factor in respect of our purchases from other persons, firms or corporations factored by you or your parent, subsidiary or affiliate or the Re-Factor are to be considered as advances against our account with you and may be charged by you to our account with you at any time whether before or after the maturity of such amounts.  Any state, city, local or federal sales or excise taxes on any sales or Receivables hereunder, or any other taxes, shall be paid by us, and if you should make any payment of any thereof, we shall repay the same to you on demand, but you shall be under no obligation to make payment of such taxes.

As security for all Obligations at any time owing by us to you, we hereby assign to you and grant to you a security interest in and lien upon all our Receivables, whether now existing or hereafter arising, or in which we now have or may hereafter acquire any rights, and whether or not sold by us hereunder.

Recourse to security shall not be required and we shall at all times remain liable for the repayment on demand of all our indebtedness arising hereunder and for all Obligations.

10.          We will pay to you and/or the Re-Factor, upon demand, all *reasonable*costs and expenses, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel and the cost of all searches, filings, recordation or registration fees and taxes, which you and/or the Re-Factor may incur at any time in perfecting, protecting, enforcing, realizing upon or administering yours and/or the Re-Factor's rights hereunder or in any collateral in which you and/or the Re-Factor have a security interest or in the defence or prosecution of any action or proceeding concerning

(herein called "Factor"), having an office at 1430 Broadway, New York, New York 10018, to enter into the foregoing factoring agreement (the "Factoring Agreement") with GURU DENIM INC. (herein called "Obligor") and to induce the Re-Factor (as such term is defined in the Factoring Agreement) to accept the re-assignment and re-sale of the Receivables (as such term is defined in the Factoring Agreement) from the Factor and for other good and valuable consideration received, the undersigned irrevocable and unconditionally guarantees to the Factor and/or the Re-Factor payment when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, of any and all Obligations (as such term is defined in the Factoring Agreement) and the prompt and punctual performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions on the part of the Obligor under the Factoring Agreement to be performed.  Inaddition, the undersigned agrees to indemnify the Factor and/or the Re-Factor against any loss, damage or liability because of any wrongful acts or fraud of the Obligor.

The undersigned waives notice of acceptance of this guarantee and notice of any liability to which it may apply, and waives presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment of any such liabilities, suit or taking other action by the Factor and/or the Re-Factor against, and other notice to, any party liable thereon (including the undersigned), and waives any defense, offset or counterclaim to any liability hereunder.

of the undersigned hereunder or protecting the Factor’s rights hereunder, the undersigned shall pay all costs and expenses of every kind for collection, including all reasonable attorneys’ fees.

If claim is ever made upon the Factor and/or the Re-Factor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by the Factor and/or the Re-Factor in payment of or on account of any of the Obligations and the Factor and/or the Re-Factor repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgement, decree or order of any Court or administrative body having jurisdiction over the Factor and/or the Re-Factor or any of its property, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Factor and/or the Re-Factor with any such claimant (including the Obligor), then and in such event the undersigned agrees that any such judgement, decree, order, settlement, or compromise shall be binding upon the undersigned, notwithstanding any revocation, termination or release hereof or the cancellation of any note or other instrument evidencing any of the Obligations, or any release of any suchObligations, and the undersigned shall be and remain liable to the Factor and/or the Re-Factor hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by the Factor and/or the Re-Factor.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the undersigned knowingly, unconditionally, irrevocably and expressly waives all rights and defenses that the undersigned may have because the Obligations are secured by real property.  This means, among other things, that the Factor and/or the Re-Factor may collect from the undersigned without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the Obligor or any other guarantor; and if the Factor and/or the Re-Factor forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the Obligor or any other guarantor, (i) the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if thecollateral is worth more than the sale price and (ii) the Factor and/or the Re-Factor may collect from the undersigned even if the Factor and/or the Re-Factor, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right the undersigned may have to collect from the Obligor or obtain contribution from any other guarantor.  This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the undersigned may have because the obligations of the other guarantor are secured by real property.  These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

Without limiting the generality of or any other waiver or other provision of this guarantee, the undersigned knowingly, unconditionally, irrevocably and expressly waives and agrees not to assert any and all benefits or defenses arising directly or indirectly under any one or more California Civil Code Sections 2799, 2808, 2809, 2810, 2815, 2819, 2820, 2821, 2822, 2825 2839, 2845, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433, California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580c, 580d and 726, California Uniform Commercial Code Sections 3116, 3118,3119,3419 and 3605, Chapter 2 of Title 14 of part 4 of Division 3 of the California Civil Code and/or any similar law of California or of any other jurisdiction.

The undersigned knowingly, unconditionally, irrevocably and expressly waives the benefit of any statue of limitations governing the time limit within which the Factor and/or the Re-Factor must commence an action to enforce this guarantee against the undersigned’s successor(s)-in-interest following the death of the undersigned including under Section 366.2 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, or any similar law of any other jurisdiction.

This guarantee was made and entered into in the State of California and the rights and obligations of the Factor and/or the Re-Factor and of the undersigned hereunder shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.  As a material part of the consideration to the Factor and/or the Re-Factor for accepting this guarantee, the undersigned (i) agrees that, at the option of the Factor and/or the Re-Factor, all actions and proceedings based upon, arising out of or relating in any way directly or indirectly to this guarantee shall be litigated exclusively in courts located within Los Angeles County, California, (ii) consents to the jurisdiction of any such court and consent to the service of process in any such action or proceeding by personal delivery, first class mail, or any other method permitted by law, and (iii) waives any and all rights to transfer or change the venueof any such action or proceeding to any court located outside Los Angeles County, California.

The undersigned and the Factor and/or the Re-Factor hereby waive the right to trial by jury in any action, claim, lawsuit or proceeding based upon, arising out of, or in any way relating to: i) this guarantee or any supplement or amendment thereto; or ii) any other present or future instrument or agreement between the undersigned and the Factor and/or the Re-Factor; or iii) any

breach, conduct, acts or omissions of the undersigned or the Factor and/or the Re-Factor or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other person affiliated with or representing the undersigned or the Factor and/or the Re-Factor; in each of the foregoing cases, whether sounding in contract or tort or otherwise.

Any acknowledgment, new promise, payment of principal or interest or other act by the Obligor and others with respect to the Obligations, shall be deemed to be made as agent of the undersigned for the purposes hereof, and shall, if the statute of limitations in favor of the undersigned against the Factor and/or the Re-Factor shall have commenced to run, toll the running of such statute of limitations, and if such statute of limitations shall have expired, prevent the operation of such statute.

The undersigned, if more than one, shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder and the term "undersigned" wherever used herein shall mean the undersigned or any one or more of them.  Any one signing this guarantee shall be bound hereby, whether or not anyone else signs this guarantee at any time.  The term "actor" includes any agent of the Factor acting for it.

Dear Mr. Lubell:

Reference is made to the Factoring Agreement between us (the "Factoring Agreement").  We are pleased to confirm that we are prepared to factor sales to your customers in Canada.

With respect to all sales to your Canadian customers, you agree to pay one percent (1%) above the factoring commission set forth in the Factoring Agreement.  In addition, we shall charge your account with all of our out-of-pocket costs and expenses relative to your sales to Canadian customers, including, but not limited to exchange rates and fees.

You also agree to assign all of your Canadian sales separately, clearly identified as Canadian sales.  You further agree to legend each of your Canadian receivables and every copy thereof to the effect that the receivable has been assigned to us or our assignee, as we may direct and is payable in United States dollars only.

The Canadian credit approval expires at the completion date of the order as submitted.  If the delivery date needs to be extended, the original order should be canceled and a new order must be resubmitted with the new completion date.

All other terms and conditions of the Factoring Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Please indicate your agreement to the foregoing by signing and returning to us, the attached copy of this letter.

Very truly yours,

Dear Mr. Lubell:

We are pleased to confirm that we are prepared to factor sales to your customers located outside the United States and Canada (the "Foreign customers").

With respect to all sales to your Foreign customers, you agree to pay one percent (1%) of the gross face amount of each receivable above the factoring commission set forth in the Factoring Agreement.  In addition, we shall charge your account with all of our out-of-pocket costs and expenses relative to your sales to Foreign customers, including, but not limited to exchange rates and fees plus a service fee of $20.00 for each invoice assigned to us.

You also agree to assign all of your Foreign sales separately, clearly identified as Foreign sales.  You further agree to legend each of your Foreign receivables and every copy thereof to the effect that the receivable has been assigned to us or our assignee, as we may direct and is payable in United States dollars only.

We are able to assume the credit risk with respect to Foreign customers by reason of the International Factors Group ("IFG") and the credit approval of Foreign Customers is made exclusively by a member ("IF") of the IFG located in the country where such customers are doing business.  Our assumption of the credit risk is in reliance on such approval by the IF.

Our relationship with the IF is governed by the Uniform Communication System ("UCS") which is subscribed to by all members of IFG.  The IF’s credit approval and its subsequent assumption of the credit risk is contingent on our and your compliance with the terms and provisions of the UCS.  In order to ensure such compliance, we attach hereto as Appendix A a "checklist" containing the major requirements which must be adhered to if this credit protection is to remain effective.  Effective as of the date hereof, this letter agreement supercedes the existing agreement between us relating to your sales to Foreign Customers.

The Foreign credit approval expires at the completion date of the order as submitted.  If the delivery date needs to be extended, the order must be resubmitted with the new completion date.

All other terms and conditions of the Factoring Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Please indicate your agreement to the foregoing by signing below and returning the original signed copy of this agreement to us.

Appendix A

Checklist

1. In all cases, commercial invoices must be submitted in duplicate.

2. The legend on each invoice directing the customer to make payment to us is to be replaced by a stamp, sticker or special printing directing payment to the pertinent IF involved and we shall provide you with special stickers or printing which will vary to fit the requirements of each IF and the laws of its particular country.

3. Our arrangement does not contemplate any bill and hold transactions and therefore should shipment be deferred in a particular case, you are to first give us all pertinent details and receive our approval before such invoices are placed on our books.

4. Where IF approved a customer as to credit, all sales to that customer and all other customers in the IF’s country must be assigned to us.

5. You shall be exclusively responsible for compliance with all documentary requirements relating to shipments to the foreign customers and the particular requirements of each country in which they are located, including, without limitation, certificates of origin, customs invoices, etc.

6. The payment terms shall not exceed (90) ninety days unless approved in advance by us.

7. All bank charges in connection with the export sales are for your account.

8. Once an invoice has been approved as to credit, the terms thereof may not be changed by you without our prior written approval.

9. All invoices are to specify payment in the same currency specified in the written application for credit approval.

10. Under the Agreement, we only assume the risk of loss on shipments previously approved by us as to credit if a customer fails to pay because of its financial inability to pay at maturity due to any other reason, including, without limitation political restraints or currency restrictions.

11. Payments made by Foreign Customers to your sales agents either in the United States or in the Customer’s country shall be deemed a payment to you and we shall have no further obligation with respect to the collection of the Receivables involved.

Date: January 3, 2005

To: FCC, LLC d/b/a/ FIRST CAPITAL WESTERN REGION, LLC

Re: GURU DENIM INC.

(Factored Client, herein "the Company")

Gentlemen:

1.             To induce you to terminate your factoring arrangement with the above named Company as of January 3, 2005, (herein the "termination date"), and to limit your security interests in the accounts receivable of the Company, all as more fully set forth hereinafter, and in consideration of your remitting to us the following amounts as and when payable in accordance with y our factoring contract with the Company:

(1)          all collections received by you on accounts receivable of the Company factored by you on or prior to the termination date net of amounts owing to you from Company pursuant to your factoring arrangement; and

(2)          all amounts due to the Company by you on any accounts receivable of the Company factored by you on or prior to the termination date which were approved by you as to credit and which remain unpaid solely because of the financial inability of the customers thereon to pay such accounts receivable at maturity.

we agree to pay to you on demand:

(1)          all amount of interest, fees, expenses and any additions arising out of clerical errors and omissions, which you are or may hereafter be entitled to charge to the Company in accordance with your factoring contract with the Company.

(2)          all amounts paid by you after the termination date pursuant to the guarantees, letters of credit and drafts, none of which may be amended in any way without prior written consent in each instance, listed on the attached Schedule A; and

(3)          all amounts owing by the Company to you as of the termination date by reason of the Company’s purchases of goods or services from any concern for whom you act as factor, as invoice therefore become due (herein "ledger debt").

Subject to the following provisions, your demands for any of the aforesaid amounts shall be conclusive upon us.

2.

Our obligations under this letter do not extend to:

(a)           any accounts receivable approved by you as to credit which remain unpaid solely because of the financial inability of the customer to pay at maturity; or

(b)          spurious accounts receivable which did not in fact arise from the actual sale of merchandise or the rendering of services, provide, however, that if you notify us promptly of any losses attributable to your factoring of any such spurious accounts, we shall pay you the amount thereof up to the amount of any credit balance transferred by you to us, less any other payments made or to be made by us to you under this Agreement.

3.             This Agreement is entered into by us in reliance upon your representations that to you knowledge as of January 3, 2005; (a) outstanding accounts receivable total approximately $3,426,000; (b) of these accounts, approximately $1,320,000 are with full recourse to the Company; (c) of these accounts approximately $0 represent known bill and hold sales and known consignment, sale on approval, or sale or return transactions; and (d) outstanding ledger debt does not exceed approximately $0.  In addition, you have further represented to us that to your knowledge (other than for discounts permitted by the payment terms of the accounts receivable) all disputes, claims, defenses, offsets or counterclaims which exist with respect to the outstanding accounts receivable are routine in nature, do not inany one instance involve more than $100,000, and do not exceed $10,000 in aggregate, except as listed on the attached Schedule (if none, so state).

4.             You hereby release, as of the termination date, any and all security interests and liens which have heretofore been granted to you by the Company except as to accounts receivable factored by you on or prior to the termination date, any merchandise represented thereby (delivered or undelivered), and any proceeds thereof.  You hereby authorize and authenticate us to file appropriate releases and termination statements.

5.             You agree to remit to us any amounts which the Company may be entitled to receive from you, from time to time, upon the adjustment of its account with you.  If we so request, you agree to assign to us, without recourse, your rights in any accounts receivable for which we have made payment to you hereunder and any merchandise represented thereby, and you will supply us with appropriate supporting details thereof in your possession, including but not limited to copies of invoices, proofs of shipment and statements.

6.             We agree to remit to you any collections that we may subsequently receive on any accounts receivable factored by you on or prior to the termination date; and you agree to remit to us any collections that you may subsequently receive on any other accounts receivable.  Furthermore, you agree to remit to us any collections that you may subsequently receive on any accounts for which payment has been made by us to you.  These obligations shall be irrevocable and shall survive the date set forth in Paragraph 8 below.

7.             In the event that any payment which is the subject of remittance by one of us (the "Remitter") to the other (the "Recipient") pursuant to Paragraph 6 above is sought to be recovered by the payor or a representative thereof (including a trustee in bankruptcy or assignee for the benefit of creditors) on the grounds of preference, then the Remitter shall promptly so advise the Recipient in writing.  Following the aforementioned written notice, the Recipient shall

have the exclusive right and obligation, at its sole cost and expense, to contest, defend or settle such claim.  The Recipient hereby indemnifies and holds the Remitter harmless from any loss or expense arising out of the assertion of such claim.  This indemnification shall be irrevocable and survive the date set forth in Paragraph 8 below.

8.             Our liability hereunder shall embrace only claims in writing received by us on or prior to September 30, 2005.  Your monthly account current shall constitute such claim provided that you shall furnish us with such additional information and supporting details as we may reasonably request with respect thereto.

9.             If the above correctly sets forth our agreement, please sign the enclosed copy of this Letter below to so indicate.

 

Very truly yours,
