Section 2.1. Loan Amount. Borrower agrees that the principal amount of the Loan will
be $1,604,972.00. This Loan is a non-revolving loan, and no amount repaid with respect to the Loan
may be reborrowed.
Section 2.2. Closing Date Distributions. If, and only if, all conditions for closing
set forth in Article III have been met, the closing will be executed by making distribution of all
funds as follows:

Borrower |
874,466.70 |
Section 2.3. Interest.
(a) The principal amount outstanding on the Loan together with amortized interest shall accrue
interest at the initial rate of 10.25% per annum from the Closing Date. On subsequent dates
throughout the term of the Loan the annual amortized interest rate may be modified so as to
maintain the current annual interest rate as the greater of (x) five (5) percentage points above
the prime rate as defined in the Wall Street Journal as of the first publication day of the month,
and (y) 10%.
(b) In no event shall the interest charged with respect to the notes (if any) or any other
obligations of Borrower under any Loan Document exceed the maximum amount permitted under the laws
of the State of Delaware or of any other applicable jurisdiction.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere, if at any time
the rate of interest payable hereunder or under any note or other Loan Document (the “Stated
Rate”) would exceed the highest rate of interest permitted under any applicable Law to be
charged (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then for so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be
so exceeded, the rate of interest payable shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, that
if at any time thereafter the Stated Rate is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Borrower shall, to
the extent permitted by Law, continue to pay interest at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as
the total interest received is equal to the total interest which would have been received had the
Stated Rate been (but for the operation of this provision) the interest rate payable. Thereafter,
the interest rate payable shall be the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again would
exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate, in which event this provision shall again apply.
(d) In no event shall the total interest received by the Lender exceed the amount which it
could lawfully have received had the interest been calculated for the full term hereof at the
Maximum Lawful Rate. If, notwithstanding the prior sentence, the Lender has received interest
hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, such excess amount shall be applied to the
reduction of the principal balance of the Loan or to other amounts (other than interest)
payable hereunder, and if no such principal or other amounts are then outstanding, such excess or
part thereof remaining shall be paid to Borrower. In computing interest payable with reference to
the Maximum Lawful Rate applicable to the Lender, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate
equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such
calculation is made.
(e) In computing interest payable with reference to the Maximum Lawful Rate applicable to the
Lender, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided
by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made.
Section 2.4. Scheduled Repayments.
(f) Loan Amortization. Principal and interest per the initial amortized interest rate shall
become due and payable in 36 monthly payments beginning on the first Payment Date of the month
following the date hereof each in the amount of $52,001.52, which includes the monthly CFG Service
Fee. The amount of the monthly payments and the final payment may be adjusted as a consequence of
the terms of this Loan Agreement allowing for fluctuation in the Prime
Loan No. 8005

shall repay the Loan through scheduled payments on each Payment Date, each equal to the applicable
amount set forth in the loan parameters below (or, if less, the outstanding amount of the Loan):

(b) Application of Collections. At any time and from time to time, (x) Borrower shall
pay (or cause to be paid), or (y) Lender may withdraw via an ACH Debit, amounts on deposit in the
Collection Account to make payments in satisfaction of the Obligations, to the extent then due and
payable. In the absence of a Default or Event of Default, any amounts in the Collections Account in
excess of the amounts required to satisfy the Obligations shall be retained by the Borrower; and
(c) CFG Payment Account. All payments made in satisfaction of the Obligations
hereunder shall be made via wire transfer of immediately available funds to CFG at its notice
address contained in Section 9.7 of this Agreement or at such other location as CFG shall designate
in writing. Payments received by Lender at or prior to 2:00 p.m. (Delaware time) on any business
day shall be deemed received on such business day. Payments received after 2:00 p.m. (Delaware
time) on any business day or on any day not a business day shall be deemed to have been received on
the following business day.
Section 2.5. Adjustments. In the event that the interest rate is modified due to a
change in the
prime interest rate, the amortization set forth in Section 2.4(a) will be modified to maintain
the same payment amount but with adjusted term and final payment per the new interest rate.
Section 2.6. Disputes. All disputes regarding loan payment amounts, payment dates,
outstanding balances, interest paid and principal paid shall be resolved based upon the information
contained in the amortization schedule set forth in Section 2.4(a) or as it may be modified by the
consequences of the actual payments made and their respective payment dates, adjustments pursuant
to Section 2.5, and/or by subsequent agreement between CFG and the Borrower.
Section 2.7. Prepayments. Payment and prepayments on the Loan shall be applied first
to late charges and other fees and penalties due hereunder, second to reimburse CFG for any costs
and/or expenses incurred by CFG hereunder or under any of the documents attached hereto, third to
accrued interest and the remainder to reduce the principal amount. The Loan may be prepaid in whole
or in part at any time without penalty and without consent of CFG. Any such prepayment shall not
reduce the amount of any regularly scheduled payment unless said prepayment reduces all outstanding
Loan No. 8005
7
amounts owed (principal, interest, late fees, and any other charges payable under this Loan
Agreement) to $0.00.
After deduction of late charges and other fees and penalties due and/or expenses incurred by
CFG, as described in the preceding paragraph, the residual amount will be applied to the Loan
Amortization schedule on the date of receipt, with the consequent modification of the succeeding
balances throughout the remaining term of the Loan Agreement, however as the Loan Agreement may be
modified by changes in the interest rate per changes in the prime interest rate.
Section 2.8. Late Payment Penalty. Interest and penalties shall accrue on any
payment that is not received by the applicable Payment Date. In such a case, daily interest shall
accrue in the amount of the current annual interest rate from the original date said payment was
due until the date payment is received by CFG, irrespective of the date the Borrower transmitted
said payment. A Shortfall Penalty shall also be due and immediately payable for each Shortfall.
Section 2.9. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loan shall be used solely for
business purposes and working capital needs of Borrower.
Section 2.10. Joint and Several Liability. The Borrower and the Co-Borrower agree to
be jointly and severally liable to make the monthly payments required hereunder and CFG may seek to
collect said payments from either the Borrower or the Co-Borrower at CFG’s sole discretion.

Policy is no longer in force or any premiums due in respect of such policy have not been paid),
whether arising in connection with the underlying Insurance Policy, the Insurance Contract(s) or
otherwise. All Commission Rights are fully and freely transferable and assignable with the consent
of the Insurance Company(ies), subject to standard restrictions and conditions imposed by the
Insurance Company(ies) and Insurance Contract(s). No Insurance Company or other Person has alleged
in any proceeding or otherwise alleged in writing, that any Commission Rights are illegal or
unenforceable.

caused to be delivered to Lender or to Lender’s representative a true, correct and complete copy of
each Insurance Contract. Each Insurance Contract and each of the underlying Insurance Policies is
in full
force and effect and constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the respective
Insurance Company(ies), underwriters, brokers, agencies or insured parties thereto, enforceable in
accordance with its terms. Neither Borrower, Co-Borrower nor any other party to an Insurance
Contract, is in violation or breach of or default under such Insurance Contract and no condition
exists or event has occurred and is continuing that with notice or lapse of time or both, would be
a violation or breach of or default under such Insurance Contract or would impair the vesting of
the Commission Rights. To the knowledge of Borrower, there is no existing default under the terms
of the underlying Insurance Policies and no condition exists or event has occurred and is
continuing that with notice, the lapse of time or both would constitute such a default. The
Insurance Contract(s) have not been amended or modified and will not be amended or modified without
the prior written consent of Lender. Neither Borrower nor Co-Borrower has not and will not waive or
otherwise surrender any rights it has under the Insurance
Contract(s).

in writing to Lender all advances, loans, or extensions of credit by any Insurance Company(ies) to
Borrower or Co-Borrower.
Section 4.22. Payments to Collections Account. Each of Borrower and Co-Borrower has
Loan No. 8005

instructed and will instruct each insurance carrier making any payments with respect to the
Commission Rights and proceeds therefrom to fund any such payments to the Collections Account.

own expense, indicate in its books and records that a security interest in the Collateral have been
granted to Lender pursuant to this Loan Agreement.
Section 5.10. Name Change. If the Borrower makes any change in its name,
identity or corporate structure that would make any financing statement or continuation statement
filed in accordance herewith seriously misleading within the applicable provisions of the Uniform
Commercial Code or any title statute, the Borrower shall give Lender written notice thereof at
least forty-five (45) days prior to such change.
Section 5.11. Other Liens or Interests. Except pursuant to this Loan Agreement,
neither Borrower nor Co-Borrower has nor shall sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any Person, or
grant, create, incur, assume, or suffer to exist any Lien on, or any interest in, to or under the
Collateral, and each of Borrower and Co-Borrower shall defend the right, title and interest of
Lender in, to and under the Collateral against all claims of third parties claiming through or
under Borrower or Co-borrower.
Section 5.12. Maintenance of Insurance Policies. Neither Borrower, Co-Borrower nor any

induce any Person to surrender, convert, replace, lapse or forfeit any Insurance Policy, (ii)
encourage any agent or other Person to engage in such efforts or activities, (iii) discuss any such
efforts or activities with any agent or other Person, or (iv) breach or permit the occurrence of a
breach with respect to any agreement with any Insurance Company(ies) that could result in the
impairment of Lender’s receipt of the payments on account of the Collateral.
Section 5.13. Maintenance of Insurance Contract(s). Neither Borrower nor Co-Borrower
shall amend or modify any Insurance Contract without prior written consent of Lender. Neither
Borrower nor Co-Borrower shall waive or otherwise surrender any rights it has under any Insurance

actions and execute and deliver all documents reasonably requested by Lender, including execution

Company(ies) and deliver to Lender at such intervals as Lender may reasonably require, current
listings of the in-force Insurance Policies issued by the Insurance Company(ies), the most recent
commission statements relating to the Collateral in respect of such Insurance Company(ies) and such
other information regarding such Insurance Policies and Collateral as Lender may reasonably
require. In the event that, after the date hereof, any Insurance Company fails to pay Lender any of
the compensation attributable to the Collateral on the grounds that Lender does not hold the
Licenses required by a particular state as a condition of the receipt of such compensation, each of
Borrower and Co-Borrower, at Lender’s written request, shall use its best efforts to collect such
compensation from the Insurance Company and shall promptly remit the amounts collected to Lender or
its designee and shall take any other actions that Lender may reasonably request in order to give
Lender the full benefit of its bargain hereunder.

COLLATERAL MATTERS
COLLATERAL MATTERS
Section 6.1. Grant of Security Interest. Each of Borrower and Co-Borrower hereby
grants to the Lender, as secured party (in such capacity, “Secured Party”) a security
interest in the Collateral to secure the payments due per the Loan Documents and the performance in
full of all of the Obligations, and so pledges and assigns to Lender such Collateral, wherever
located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof.
Section 6.2. Filings. Each of Borrower and Co-Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes
CFG to, from time to time, file any initial financing statements or amendments thereto (including
financing statements identifying the Collateral as “all assets” or words of similar effect), and
appoint CFG as their attorney-in-fact to file such financing statements or other such instruments
on behalf of the Borrower or Co-Borrower. Each of Borrower and Co-Borrower further ratifies and
confirms the prior filing by Lender of any financing statements which identify Lender as secured
party. Each of Borrower and Co-Borrower shall cooperate fully with Lender in connection with the
rights set forth above and shall execute any and all documents reasonably required to fulfill the
intent of this Section.
Section 6.3. Location of Collateral. Each of Borrower and Co-borrower shall keep the
Collateral separate and identifiable and at the address of Borrower, as set forth herein, and
neither Borrower nor Co-Borrower shall remove the Collateral from that address without the prior
written consent of the Secured Party.
Section 6.4. Exercise of Remedies. Should Borrower or Co-Borrower be in default under
the Loan Documents, then the Secured Party may exercise any of the remedies hereunder and the
documents attached thereto. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a
Default or Event of Default, each of Borrower and Co-Borrower agrees to assemble the
Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at a place designated by the Secured Party
that is reasonably convenient to all parties. Unless the Collateral threatens to decline speedily
in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognizable market, the Secured Party shall give
Borrower and Co-Borrower reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale of the
Collateral or of the time at which any private sale or any other intended disposition of the
Collateral will be made. The requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if the notice is mailed,
postage prepaid, to the address of Borrower, at least ten (10) days prior to the time of the sale
or disposition. Each of Borrower and Co-Borrower agree to be jointly and severally responsible for
the Secured Party’s expenses incurred in retaking, holding, preparing for sale, and/or selling, or
the like, the Collateral, which expenses shall include reasonable attorney’s fees and legal
expenses incurred by the Secured Party.
Section 6.5. Notification to Account Debtors and Other Persons Obligated on
Collateral. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each of Borrower and
Co-Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, notify account debtors and other persons obligated on
any of the Collateral of the security interest of Lender in any account, chattel paper, general
intangible, instrument or other Collateral and that payment thereof is to be made directly to
Lender or to any financial institution designated by Lender, and Lender may itself, if a Default or
an Event of Default shall
Loan No. 8005
14
have occurred and be continuing, without notice to or demand upon the
Agency, so notify account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral.
Section 6.6. Assignments and Redirections. In furtherance of the foregoing, upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default, each of Borrower and
Co-Borrower shall immediately assign and redirect (“Assignment and Redirection
”) any and
all incomes from all Commission Rights and payments with respect thereto and any additional sources
of income, to the Collections Account by means of instructions to the insurance carriers or other
payors providing these income sources. Any such assignments and redirections shall be considered as
irrevocable and shall continue until the Default or Event of Default is cured to the satisfaction
of CFG. Without in any way limiting the respective obligations of Borrower and CoBorrower set forth
above, CFG, in its sole discretion, may exercise such Assignment and Redirection rights by
negotiating and entering into assignment agreements directly with any such insurance carrier or
other payor on behalf of Borrower and Co-Borrower pursuant to the Contingent Power of Attorney
described in Section 6.7.
Section 6.7. Contingent Power of Attorney. Each of Borrower and Co-Borrower has on and
as of the date hereof executed and delivered to CFG a contingent power of attorney, which is
attached hereto as Exhibit B and is coupled with an interest. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of a Default or Event of Default, CFG at its option may invoke and exercise the
Contingent Power of Attorney contained in Exhibit B and CFG shall have the rights and powers
specified therein.

SHORTFALLS; EVENTS OF DEFAULT
SHORTFALLS; EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Section 7.1. Shortfall Event.
(e) In any payment month for which the Loan Payment is received at the CFG Payment Account
later than the Payment Date, or is less than the payment amount due under the terms of this Loan
Agreement, CFG will have the option to declare a Shortfall. If more than one Shortfall has occurred
and been declared by CFG during the term of the Loan, CFG has the option, at its sole discretion,
to declare a Default. If a Shortfall is declared, all available cash then and subsequently received
shall be distributed as follows: first to cover any and all penalties and incurred
expenses, second to accrued interest and finally to Loan principal. This
distribution priority shall obtain until such Shortfall has been cured to the satisfaction of CFG.
(f) On receipt of a payment after declaration of a Shortfall the loan amortization schedule
will be modified by insertion of the actual payment date and payment amount into the schedule in
the proper date sequence with daily interest computed from the date of the last payment. If the
payment received is less than the interest due, then the unpaid interest due will be added to the
Loan balance calculated at the Payment Date. The next interest will be calculated on this adjusted
balance amount.
The consequent adjustment in the outstanding balance for that date, and all
subsequent outstanding balances will then apply for the remainder of the term of this Loan
Agreement, with any changes in the loan interest rate due to changes in the Prime Interest Rate
incorporated in the modified amortization schedule.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Shortfall Penalty and the Shortfall Amount have not
been received by the close of business on a date specified in a formal communication from CFG to
Borrower, then CFG may at its discretion declare a Default.
Section 7.2. Default. The Borrower and the Co-Borrower, jointly and severally, shall
be in default if any of the following events occurs:
(h) the Borrower creates more than one Shortfall event during the term of
Loan No. 8005
15
the Loan, and CFG
elects to declare a Default rather than a Shortfall. If CFG has declared a Shortfall and determines
that the Shortfall is not being cured to CFG’s satisfaction, then CFG may declare a Default;
(b) any representation made by the Borrower herein or in any certificate, financial or other
statement furnished at any time under or in connection with this Loan Agreement is untrue or
becomes untrue in any material respect, or if the Borrower fails to disclose any material fact to
CFG, and CFG suffers or may suffer a loss due to said falsehood and/or nondisclosure;
(c) the Borrower fails to obtain and maintain the insurance policy required by the terms of
this Loan Agreement;
(d) the Borrower makes or has made a false or misleading statement to CFG or its
representatives;
(e) the Borrower is dissolved and/or the Co-Borrower is dissolved;
(f) a petition or complaint under any Federal or State bankruptcy or insolvency laws is filed
by or against the Borrower, or if the Borrower is unable to pay its debts as they become due, or if
the Borrower admits either orally or in writing that it is unable to pay its debts as they become
due;
(g) CFG believes in good faith that the prospect of payment or performance hereunder is
impaired, or a material, adverse change has occurred in the Borrower’s financial condition;
(h) the Borrower fails to perform any duty or obligation set forth in this Loan Agreement
and/or the other Loan Documents; or
(i) the Borrower undertakes to modify the irrevocable payment delivery arrangements required
herein or undertakes to divert designated payments from the Collections Account.

REMEDIES
REMEDIES
Section 8.1. Generally. In the event that of a default under any Loan Document,
the Borrower and the Co-Borrower each agree to be jointly and severally liable to CFG for all costs
and expenses incurred by CFG in collecting, with or without litigation, the amount owed under this
Loan Agreement and/or in disposing of the Collateral as that term is defined herein, including
reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs.
In the event of a Default under this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, CFG shall
have the right to accelerate and declare all Obligations hereunder immediately due and payable in
full without demand or notice. CFG shall have all rights and remedies available under applicable
law, including the right to liquidate any and all collateral and assets. CFG shall have the right,
immediately and without further notice or action, to set off against this Loan Agreement any and
all money owed, whether or not due, by CFG to the Borrower. CFG shall not be deemed to have waived
any of its rights or remedies unless done so in a signed and dated writing, nor shall any act,
delay or omission be deemed to be a waiver of any of CFG’s rights or remedies of any kind.
Each of the Borrower and the Co-Borrower waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of
dishonor and all defenses based on suretyship or impairment of Collateral. Each of the Borrower and
the Co-Borrower waives the benefit of all homestead and other exemptions to the fullest extent
permitted by law.

under this Loan Agreement, including without limitation, any payment under this Loan Agreement not
being paid when due, whether at maturity by acceleration or otherwise, each Borrower hereby
irrevocably appoints and constitutes CFG as Borrower’s duly appointed attorney-at-law to appear in
open court in the Superior Court for the City of Wilmington, Delaware, or in any other court of
competent jurisdiction, and to confess judgment pursuant to the provisions of Title 10 Section 4732
of the Delaware Code, as amended, against Borrower for all principal and interest and any other
amounts due and payable under this Loan Agreement, together with attorney’s fees and collection
fees as provided in this Loan Agreement (to the extent permitted by law). This power of attorney is
coupled with an interest and may not be revoked and/or terminated by the Borrower. This power of
attorney shall not be revoked and/or terminated by virtue of the death, disability and/or
dissolution of the Borrower. No single exercise of the power to confess judgment shall be deemed to
exhaust the power and no judgment against the Borrower shall bar subsequent action or judgment
against such entity against whom the judgment has not been obtained in this Loan Agreement.
