				 b.
			Acknowledgement and Waiver.  Additional Client and each Existing Client acknowledges and agrees that they have no defenses to payment and performance of their Obligations under the Factoring Documents on the terms set forth therein, and have no claims or counterclaims against Factor with respect to the Factoring Documents or the transactions or the relationship provided for therein, and forever waive any contention to the contrary.

			
	
			
				 c.
