      b.             Client Affiliate Past Due
Taxes. On or before July 31, 2009, Client shall provide satisfactory
evidence to Summit, in Summit’s sole discretion, that the Client Affiliate Past
Due Taxes have been paid in full or otherwise subordinated to Summit in a manner
acceptable in Summit’s sole discretion.

      

      c.            
Amendment to Financing
Agreement. The second paragraph of Section 20 Renewal of Financing Period
and Termination of Financing of the Financing Agreement is hereby amended
and restated in its entirety as follows:

      

      “If
Client elects to terminate a Financing Period at any time during the first six
(6) months after initial funding, Client agrees to pay Summit Twenty-Five
Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00). If Client elects to terminate a Financing Period
at any time after the initial six (6) months from initial funding, except to
replace this financing with Qualified Bank Financing as provided herein, or if
an Event of Default terminates the financing of Client’s Accounts, Client shall
pay Summit the greater of Two Percent (2.00%) of the Maximum Credit Line or the
Supplemental Fee for the remainder of the Financing Period, which amount shall
be due and payable in full upon such termination.”

      

      d.            
Increase in Daily
Funds Rate. Until Client has (i) provided satisfactory evidence to
Summit, in Summit’s sole discretion, that the Client Affiliate Past Due Taxes
have been paid in full or otherwise subordinated to Summit in a manner
acceptable in Summit’s sole discretion, and (ii) provided satisfactory evidence
to Summit, in Summit’s sole discretion, that Client has obtained at least an
additional One Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,700,000.00) in cash
equity, the Daily Funds Rate shall be increased by Six Percent (6.0%) so that
the Daily Funds Rate with regards to Outstanding Advances on Accounts and for
purposes of determining charges for Advances based upon Acceptable Inventory
shall mean the prime rate as announced in the Wall Street Journal plus Eight
Percent (8.0%) divided by 360, adjusted as of the date of any change in the
prime rate. 

      

      4.       
Financing Documents.
Except as expressly amended or modified by this Forbearance Agreement, the
Financing Documents, including, without limitation, the Financing Agreement and
the Guarantees, remain in full force and effect. Client hereby confirms that the
security interest granted in the Financing Agreement also secures the Financing
Agreement as amended by this Forbearance Agreement. Guarantors hereby confirms
that they guarantee, pursuant to their respective Guarantees, the obligations of
Client under the Financing Agreement as amended by this Forbearance Agreement
and as set forth in their respective Guarantees. 

      

      5.       
Termination of Forbearance. Summit’s
agreement to forbear shall automatically terminate, without any notice to Client
or Guarantors or any right to cure, upon the earlier of (i) July 31, 2009, or
(ii) upon the occurrence of any of the following:

      

      a.            
Breach of Forbearance
Agreement. A breach or default by Client or Guarantors of any of the
covenants or agreements set forth in this Forbearance
Agreement.

      b.            
New Event of Default. The occurrence of any new Event of Default, or the
occurrence of any event, which, with the passage of time or giving of notice or
both, would constitute a default, breach, or event of default under the
Financing Agreement.

      

      c.            
False
Representation. Any representation or warranty by Client or Guarantors
made hereunder is materially false, incorrect, or misleading as of the date
made.

      

      d.            
Solvency.
Client makes a general appointment of a trustee, receiver, or other custodian
for Client’s property or any part thereof, or in the absence of such
application, consent, or acquiescence, a trustee, receiver, or other custodian
is appointed for Client or its property or any part thereof, except as otherwise
provided in this Forbearance Agreement.

      

      e.            
Bankruptcy.
Commencement of any case under the Bankruptcy Code, Title 11 of the United
States Code, or commencement of any other bankruptcy arrangement,
reorganization, liquidation, receivership, custodianship, or similar proceeding
under any federal, state, or foreign law by or against either Client or
Guarantors.

      

      f.             
Repudiation of
Forbearance Agreement. Client or Guarantors take any action to repudiate
this Forbearance Agreement or this Forbearance Agreement shall otherwise cease
to be in full force and effect other than in accordance with its
terms.

      

      g.            
Third Party Exercise
of Remedies; Termination of Forbearance. Any other lender or creditor,
secured or unsecured, initiates the exercise of remedies against Client,
Guarantors, or their affiliates to collect or enforce any obligation or
indebtedness of such party, or commences any collection or foreclosure action,
or alleges in writing the breach of any obligation of any Client, Guarantors, or
their affiliates to such lender or creditor.

      

      6.     
  Release and Waiver of Claims. Client
and Guarantors each hereby release and waive any and all claims, demands,
actions, causes of action, damages, costs, expenses, and other rights of any
nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, whether or not accrued, presently
existing, against Summit arising out of or in any way relating to the Financing
Documents and/or this Forbearance Agreement. 

      

      7.       
No Waiver of Default. Execution and
delivery of this Forbearance Agreement and the actions contemplated herein,
including, without limitation, the failure of Summit to exercise any rights and
remedies at this time, do not constitute a waiver of the Existing Events of
Default. Summit reserves the right to exercise, upon termination of this
forbearance as provided in Section 5, any and all of its rights and remedies
under the Financing Documents, at law, or in equity. Any future re-occurrence of
the Existing Events of Default or any other existing or future event of default
shall not be subject to or governed by this Forbearance Agreement. No course of
dealing or delay or failure to assert any event of default shall constitute a
waiver of the event of default or of any prior or subsequent event of default.
Client and Guarantors should not assume or infer that Summit will waive any
future event of default. Summit may, at any time hereafter, regardless of any
prior course of conduct or waiver, require strict compliance with all terms and
conditions of the Financing Documents. 

      

      8.            
Default Under
Forbearance Agreement. Failure of Client and/or Guarantors to timely
perform any agreement or covenant provided herein or in the event any
representation or warranty by Client or Guarantors provided herein is materially
false or misleading, such event shall constitute a default under this
Forbearance Agreement and an Event of Default under the Financing
Agreement.

      9.             Indemnification. Client and
Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify Summit for any and all claims
and liabilities, and for damages which may be awarded against or incurred by
Summit, and for all reasonable attorneys’ fees, legal expenses, and other
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in defending such claims, arising from or
related in any manner to the negotiation, execution, or performance by Summit of
this Forbearance Agreement or any of the agreements, documents, obligations, or
transactions contemplated by this Forbearance Agreement, but excluding any such
claims based upon breach or default by Summit or gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Summit. 

      

      Summit
shall have the sole and complete control of the defense of any such
claims.  Summit is hereby authorized to settle or otherwise compromise
any such claims as Summit in good faith determines shall be in its best
interests. 

      

      10.     
Revival. If any payment of any money
to Summit by or on behalf of Client and/or Guarantors should for any reason
subsequently be determined to be “voidable” or “avoidable” in whole or in part
within the meaning of any state or federal law (collectively “voidable
transfers”), including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyances or
preferential transfers under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other
federal or state law, and Summit is required to repay or restore any voidable
transfers or the amount or any portion thereof, or upon the advice of counsel
for Summit is advised to do so, then, as to any such amount or property repaid
or restored, including, without limitation, all reasonable costs, expenses, and
attorneys fees of Summit related thereto, the liability of Client and Guarantors
shall automatically be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as
though the voidable transfers had never been made. 

      

      11.    
Authority. Each of
the representatives signing this Forbearance Agreement on behalf of Summit,
Client, and Guarantors, as the case may be, hereby represents and warrants that
said representative has the authority to execute and deliver this Forbearance
Agreement and that this Forbearance Agreement shall be valid, binding and
enforceable in accordance with its terms as to the company, if any, for whom
said representative has signed. 

      

      12.         
Ownership of
Claims. Client and Guarantors each represent and warrant that it, he or
she is the sole owner of the claims and actions which are waived and/or settled
by this Forbearance Agreement, that there has been no prior assignment or
transfer of those claims and actions, and that those claims and actions are not
subject to any security interest, lien, or other encumbrance. 

      

      13.     
Binding Effect. This
Forbearance Agreement shall be binding upon, extend to, and inure to the benefit
of the heirs, successors, and assigns of the parties hereto, to the officers,
directors, employees, partners, agents and representatives of the parties
hereto, and to all persons or entities claiming by, through or under any of the

      14.     
General. This Forbearance Agreement is
made for the sole and exclusive benefit of Summit, Client, and Guarantors and is
not intended to benefit any third party. No such third party may claim any right

Agreement.

unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
