      AND RESTATED FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of August 11,
      2005, by and between CAPITAL TEMPFUNDS, a division of CAPITAL FACTORS LLC,
      as
      successor in interest to Capital Tempfunds, Inc., a Delaware limited liability
      company having its principal place of business at One Brixam Green, 15800 John

      of
      business at 500 Craig Road, Suite 201, Manalapan, New Jersey 07726
      (“Borrower”).




**BACKGROUND**




Borrower
      and Capital are parties to (i) a Loan and Security Agreement dated as of
      December 8, 2000 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified
      from
      time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which Capital provides Borrower
      with certain financial accommodations, and (ii) a Forbearance Agreement dated
      as
      of January 15, 2005, between Borrower and Capital and amended on April 8, 2005
      and June 10, 2005 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified
      from
      time to time, the “Forbearance Agreement”) pursuant to which Capital agreed to
      forbear from exercising rights and remedies under the Loan
      Agreement.




As
      of
      January 15, 2005 and continuing thereafter, there were various continuing Events
      of Default existing under the Loan Agreement as listed (the “Designated
      Defaults”) on Exhibit
      A annexed
      hereto and incorporated by reference herein, by reason of which Capital has
      no
      obligation to make any additional Loans and Capital has the full legal right
      to
      exercise its rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement. Borrower has
      requested that Capital forbear for an additional period of time from exercising
      its rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement. Capital is prepared to
      establish an additional period of forbearance for Borrower on the terms and
      conditions set forth below.




Borrower
      and Capital have agreed to amend and restate the Forbearance Agreement in its
      entirety.




NOW,
      THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
      of
      which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as
      follows:




1.  Definitions .
      All
      capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given
      to
      them in the Loan Agreement.




2.  Acknowledgement .
      Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Designated Defaults have occurred
      and
      exist as of the date hereof. Borrower hereby affirms and acknowledges that
      (a)
      as of August 5, 2005, there is presently due and owing to Capital the principal
      amount of $9,040, 039.42 with respect to the Loan Agreement including interest,
      costs, fees and expenses (collectively, the “Amount”), (b) the Amount is
      due and owing without




**1**


defense,
      offset or counterclaim of any kind or nature whatsoever, and (c) the
      Loan
      Documents are and shall continue to be legal, valid and binding obligations
      and
      agreements of Borrower enforceable in accordance with their respective
      terms.

      the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the earlier to occur
      of
      (a) August 26, 2005 (or such other date as may be mutually agreed upon in
      writing) or (b) the date of any Forbearance Default (as defined below) (the
      “Forbearance Period”), Capital will forbear from the exercise of its rights and
      remedies under the Loan Documents solely with respect to the Designated
      Defaults. Such forbearance shall not derogate from Capital’s rights to collect,
      receive and/or apply proceeds of Collateral to the Obligations as may be
      specifically provided for in the Credit Agreement. At the option of Capital
      all
      Obligations shall be due and payable in full at the end of the Forbearance
      Period, without the need for any demand or notice by Capital and notwithstanding
      any future compliance by Borrower with any provisions of the Loan Agreement
      (including the provisions giving rise to the Designated Defaults). During the
      Forbearance Period, the Maximum Credit Line shall continue at $10,
      500,000.




4.  Forbearance
      Fee .
      In
      consideration of Capital’s extension of forbearance to Borrower pursuant to the
      terms and conditions set forth herein and its forbearance from charging the
      Default Rate which Capital was entitled to charge from and after the date of
      the
      Designated Defaults, Borrower hereby authorizes Capital to charge Borrower’s
      loan account with a forbearance fee in the amount of $300,000 (the “Forbearance
      Fee”), which Forbearance Fee shall be earned upon the execution of the
      Agreement, provided , however ,
      if the
      Forbearance Fee is paid in full within sixty (60) days from the date hereof,
      Capital shall rebate to Borrower’s loan account the amount of $50,000. Provided
