2.                                      Agreement to Forbear.

(a)                                 Solely during the Forbearance Period, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree to forbear from exercising (i) the right to determine not to make any Advances solely because the Borrower is not able to satisfy the condition precedent to requesting Advances set forth in Section 3.02(b) of the Funding Agreement because of the existence of the Existing Incipient Termination Events, the Existing Incipient Event of Servicer Termination, any 2003 Indenture Termination Event and any 2003 Indenture Event of Servicer Termination and (ii) except as specified in clauses (d) and (e) below, any of their rights and remedies against Borrower and the Transaction Parties under the Related Documents that may exist, now or during the Forbearance Period, by virtue of the Existing Incipient Termination Events, the Existing Incipient Event of Servicer Termination, any 2003 Indenture Termination Events and any 2003 Indenture Event of Servicer Termination.

(b)                                 Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of or acquiescence to any Existing Incipient Termination Event, the Existing Incipient Event of Servicer Termination, any 2003 Indenture Termination Event or any 2003 Indenture Event of Servicer Termination, and the Existing Incipient Termination Events and Existing Incipient Event of Servicer Termination shall continue in existence notwithstanding the agreement of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as set forth herein, to forbear in the exercise of rights and remedies against Borrower and the Transaction Parties on the terms and for the period set forth herein.  Except as expressly provided herein, the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not: (i) constitute an extension, modification, or waiver of any term or aspect of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Funding Agreement or the other Related Documents; (ii) extend the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Funding Agreement, the due date of any of Borrower Obligations or the due date in respect of any of the obligations of the Transaction Parties under the other Related Documents; (iii) give rise to any obligation on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to extend, amend, waive or otherwise modify any term or condition of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Funding Agreement or any of the other Related Documents; or (iv) give rise to any defenses or counterclaims to the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to compel payment of Borrower Obligations, the obligations of any of the Transaction Parties under the Related Documents or to otherwise enforce their rights and remedies under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Funding Agreement and the other Related Documents.  Except as expressly limited herein, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby expressly reserve all of their rights and remedies under the Related Documents and under applicable law with respect to the Existing Incipient Termination Events, the Existing Incipient Event of Servicer Termination, any 2003 Indenture Termination Events and any 2003 Indenture Event of Servicer Termination.  From and after the Forbearance Termination Date, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to enforce the Related Documents according to the terms of the Related Documents.  Each of the Transaction Parties acknowledges and agrees that nothing herein gives rise, or shall be deemed to give rise, to any commitment, obligation or agreement of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to provide debtor-in-possession financing

(c)                                  During the Forbearance Period, notwithstanding the occurrence and continued existence of the Existing Incipient Termination Events, the Existing Incipient Event of Servicer Termination, the 2003 Indenture Termination Events and the 2003 Indenture Event of Servicer Termination, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to continue to make Advances to the Borrower.

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree from and after the date hereof:

(i)                                     each Business Day shall constitute a “Settlement Date” and an “Interest Payment Date” under the Funding Agreement; and

(ii)                                  on each Settlement Date, after giving effect to the payments required under Section 2.08(c)(i) through (iv) of the Funding Agreement, all unapplied amounts in the Agent Account will be applied on each Business Day in accordance with Section 2.08(c)(v) of the Funding Agreement to the payment of the Outstanding Principal Amount of all Advances.

(e)                                  Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the Administrative Agent and Lenders maintain that the Missed Payment constitutes, as of April 1, 2008, a Termination Event under Section 8.01(c)(1) and Section 8.01(o)(i) of the Funding Agreement; and (Y) accordingly, the Administrative Agent has the right, effective as of April 1, 2008 (the date on which such Termination Events first occurred), under Section 2.06(b) of the Funding Agreement to charge the Borrower the Default Rate with respect to the Advances and the other Borrower Obligations.  Borrower and the Transaction Parties dispute the statements contained in clauses (X) and (Y) of the first sentence of this Section 2(e) and maintain that (I) the Missed Payment does not, as of the date hereof, constitute Termination Event; and (II) accordingly, the Administrative Agent does not have the right, as of April 1, 2008 or otherwise until the occurrence (if any) of any 2003 Indenture Termination Event, to charge the Default Rate.  Each party hereto acknowledges each of the other parties’ position on these issues.  Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, each party hereto reserves all rights and defenses with respect to these issues.  Borrower and the Transaction Parties further acknowledge and agree that (A) the Administrative Agent’s reservation set forth in the preceding sentence includes a reservation of its right to assert at any time (and notwithstanding its agreement to otherwise forbear as set forth herein) that the Administrative Agent is permitted under the Funding Agreement to charge the Default Rate as of April 1, 2008; (B) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders’ entry into this Agreement shall not impair or diminish in any way the right of the Administrative Agent described in the preceding clause (A); and (C) if Vertis shall fail to make the interest payment due April 1, 2008 under the 2003 Senior Secured Notes on or before May 1, 2008 unless waived by the holders of the 2003 Senior Secured Notes, such failure shall constitute (A) an Event of Servicer Termination under Section 8.01(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and (B) a Termination Event under Section 8.01(c)(1) and Section 8.01(o)(i) of the Funding Agreement.

(f)                                   Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in consideration for the Lenders’ agreement in clause (c) above, each of the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree that during the Forbearance Period, the interest rates applicable under the Funding Agreement to each Advance and any other unpaid Borrower Obligations shall be increased by

5

two percent (2.00)% per annum; provided, that if the Default Rate is charged at any time during the Forbearance Period, the interest rates applicable under the Funding Agreement shall not be increased by two percent (2.00)% per annum pursuant to this clause (f) for the days upon which the Default Rate is charged.

3.                                      Amendments to the Funding Agreement.                     The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that Section 2.08(c)(iv) and Section 2.08(c)(v) of the Funding Agreement are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

“(iv)                        fourth, to the payment of any outstanding Advances then due and payable, pro rata; provided, that if a Funding Excess exists and any outstanding Swing Line Advances were made in violation of the fourth sentence of Section 2.01(b)(i), then such Swing Line Advances will be repaid after all other Advances are paid, pro rata (it is understood that no amounts shall be required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.10 of this Agreement in connection with or on account of any payment made pursuant to this clause fourth);

(v)                                 fifth, if any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02 shall not be satisfied, to the payment of the Outstanding Principal Amount of all Advances, pro rata; provided, that if a Funding Excess exists and any outstanding Swing Line Advances were made in violation of the fourth sentence of Section 2.01(b)(i), then such Swing Line Advances will be repaid after all other Advances are paid, pro rata (it is understood that no amounts shall be required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.10 of this Agreement in connection with or on account of any payment made pursuant to this clause fifth);”

4.                                      Conditions to Effectiveness.  The effectiveness of this Agreement is expressly conditioned upon Administrative Agent’s receipt (on behalf of itself, the Lenders) from Borrower and each Transaction Party of the following, all of which shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Agent:

(b)                                 Other Documents.  Such other documents, instruments and agreements as Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

5.                                      Representations and Warranties of Borrower and the Transaction Parties.  In order to induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement, each of the Transaction Parties (as to itself and not to any other Transaction Party or the Borrower) and the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:
