     Re:  CONSIGNMENT INVENTORY PURCHASE AGREEMENT

     This Consignment Inventory Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") is
an addendum to the Exclusive Distribution Agreement (the "Agreement") dated
April 3, 2000 between Tag-it Pacific, Inc. ("Distributor") and Grupo Industrial
Cierres Ideal, S.A. and Talon, Inc. (collectively "GICISA").

     Effective September 30, 2000, Distributor agrees to purchase certain
inventory held on consignment by Distributor (as listed in Exhibit A to the
Purchase Agreement) totaling $2,830,024 in exchange for a non-interest bearing
unsecured promissory note due April 1, 2002 (the "Note"). Until all amounts owed
by Distributor to Sanwa Bank California, whether such amounts are for principal,
interest, fees, indemnities, expenses or otherwise, and whether such amounts are
contingent or non-contingent, are paid in full, GICISA agrees not to take,
demand, or receive, directly or indirectly, by set-off, redemption or in any
other manner, any payment, whether for interest, principal or otherwise, in
whole or in part with respect to amounts owed hereunder or under the Note.

     As a condition of this Purchase Agreement, GICISA agrees to purchase any
remaining inventory not sold by Distributor by April 1, 2002 at its original
purchase cost as outlined in Exhibit A.

     Distributor shall store the inventory at its premises and shall deliver
products from time to time as directed by customer orders. In the event sales
are made at below the original purchase cost (Exhibit A), Distributor shall be
entitled to receive a minimum of 10% margin on the net sales price of the
inventory and GICISA shall bare the remaining loss on the inventory sale.

     This Purchase Agreement shall supersede in its entirely any prior agreement
between Distributor and GICISA with respect to inventory held on consignment.

<PAGE>

     This Purchase Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of California and any action commenced hereunder
shall be commenced in a federal or state court located in Los Angeles,
California.

of its respective  Lender Consent  Letter,  hereby  consents and agrees that the
Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in
the  Medicare/Medicaid  provider  agreements  and nursing home licenses owned by
Cleveland as well as any right, privilege,  estate or benefit pertaining thereto

documents necessary to release the Lien on the Released  Collateral,  including,
without  limitation any Uniform  Commercial  Code  amendment,  release,  partial

Administrative  Agent, for the benefit of the Secured  Parties,  in any Accounts
(as defined in the Collateral Agreement) and (b) in the event that the foregoing
mortgage insured by the Department of Housing and Urban Development is repaid in
full,  the Company  shall  execute and deliver,  and cause its  Subsidiaries  to
execute and deliver, to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties,  all  such  instruments  and  documents  as  are  necessary,  or in the
reasonable  opinion of the  Administrative  Agent desirable,  to obtain a legal,
valid and enforceable  security interest in favor of the  Administrative  Agent,
for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Released Collateral, and for such
security interest to constitute, subject to the existence of Permitted Liens and
the provisions of the  Intercreditor  Agreement,  perfected first priority liens
on, and security  interests in, such Released  Collateral.  Each Lender,  by its
execution and delivery of its Lender Consent Letter,  hereby further consents to

  capital expenditures permitted under the Credit Agreement;

  portion of the assets,  or any business or product  line, of any other Person;
