the assets or stock of any other Person without the Lender’s prior written
consent.
(g) ERISA. With
respect to ERISA, engage in any "prohibited transaction", incur any "accumulated

asset of Borrower, or otherwise not be in full compliance.

rights of the Lender whether by suit in equity or by action at law, whether for
specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement,
the Note or any other Loan Documents, or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted in either this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or it
may proceed to obtain judgment or any other relief whatsoever appropriate to the

which the Lender may have by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default
hereunder.
8.02 Intentionally

8.03 Rights and Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the
Lender has all rights and remedies under law and at

rights or remedies, all of which shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to
any other right or remedy given hereunder or under any other agreement between
the parties or which may now or hereafter exist in law or at equity or by suit
or otherwise. No delay or failure to take action on the part of
Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or
privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or privilege or shall be construed to be a waiver of any
event of default. No course of dealing between the Borrower and the
Lender or their employees shall be effective to change, modify or discharge any
provision of this Agreement or to constitute a waiver of any
default.
IX. MISCELLANEOUS.
9.01 Expenses. Whether
or not the transaction herein contemplated shall be consummated, the Borrower
agrees to pay all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses
of the Lender's counsel) of the Lender incurred in connection with the
preparation of this Agreement, the Note, the other Loan Documents and any
amendments or supplements hereto and thereto, incidental to the collection of
monies due hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents and/or the
enforcement of the rights (including the protection thereof) of the Lender under
any provisions of this Agreement, and the Note and the other Loan
Documents.
9.02 Set-off. Upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default and while such Event of Default is
continuing, the Borrower gives the Lender a lien and right of setoff for all the
Obligations upon and against all its deposits, credits, collateral and property
now or hereafter in the possession or control of the Lender or in transit to
it. The Lender may, upon demand or the occurrence of any Event of
Default and while such Event of Default is continuing, apply or set off the
same, or any part thereof, to any Obligations of the Borrower to the
Lender.
9.03 Covenants to Survive,
Binding Agreement. All covenants, agreements, warranties and
representations made herein, in the Note, in the other Loan Documents, and in
all certificates or other documents of the Borrower shall survive the advances

Note, and the other Loan Documents. All such covenants, agreements,
warranties and representations shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the Lender and its successors and assigns, whether or not so
expressed.
9.04 Cross-Collateralization. All
collateral which the Lender may at any time acquire from the Borrower or from
any other source in connection with Obligations arising under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents shall constitute collateral for each and every
Obligation, without apportionment or designation as to particular
Obligations. All Obligations, however and whenever incurred, shall be
secured by all collateral however and wherever acquired. The Lender
shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to determine the order in which
the Lender's rights in or remedies against any collateral are to be exercised
and which type of collateral or which portions of collateral are to be proceeded
against and the order of application of proceeds of collateral as against
particular Obligations.
18
9.05 Cross-Default. The
Loan shall be cross-defaulted with all future financing accommodations extended
or to be extended by the Lender to the Borrower so that a default under any Loan
to the Borrower shall be an Event of Default hereunder and under all of the
other loans extended by the Lender.
9.06 Amendments and
Waivers. This Agreement, the Note, the other Loan Documents,
and any term, covenant or condition hereof or thereof may not be changed,
waived, discharged, modified or terminated except by a writing executed by the
parties hereto or thereto. The failure on the part of the Lender to
exercise, or the Lender's delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power
hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents shall not preclude any
other or future exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, remedy or
power.

Lender and the Borrower, the Borrower grants to such transferee and such
transferee shall have and is hereby given a continuing lien and security
interest in any money, securities or other property of the Borrower in the

subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement as if such transferee were
the Lender.

DISCLOSURE
SCHEDULE TO THE COMMERCIAL TERM LOAN AGREEMENT DATED AS OF MARCH 31, 2009 AMONG
XXXXX.XXX GROUP, INC. AND MBRO CAPITAL LLC.
The
inclusion of any information on Schedules contained herein (the “Schedules”) to the
Loan Agreement (the “Agreement”) shall not
be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment by Xxxxx.xxx Group, Inc. or its
subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) that such
information is material to, or outside the ordinary course of business of, the
Company. Nothing herein constitutes an admission of liability or
obligation of the Company or an admission against the Company’s
interest. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein
shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Loan Agreement.
This
Commercial Term Loan Agreement and related Disclosure Schedule have been
included as an exhibit to this Annual Report on Form 10-K pursuant to SEC
requirements and to provide investors and security holders with information
regarding their terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual
information about the Xxxxx.xxx Group, Inc. or its subsidiaries or affiliates.
The representations, warranties, covenants and disclosures contained in the
agreement and schedules were made only for purposes of such this agreement and
as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to this
agreement, and are subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting
parties. The representations, warranties and disclosures may have been made for
the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the agreement
instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards
of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those
applicable to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the
this agreement or the disclosures and should not rely on the representations,
warranties, covenants or disclosures as characterizations of the actual state of
facts or condition of the company, the investor or any of their respective
subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter
of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the
agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the
company’s public disclosures. Accordingly, the representations, warranties and
disclosures contained in the Commercial Term Loan Agreement and related
Disclosure Schedule should not be viewed or relied upon as statements of actual
facts or the actual state of affairs of the company or its subsidiaries or
affiliates.

LITIGATION
On
February 21, 2008, a complaint was filed against the Company in the Superior
Court of New Jersey by Z6 Solutions, Inc. (“Z6”) under an alleged breach of
contract, asserting a claim for a sum of approximately $50,000 for damages plus
interest and all costs including attorney’s fees. The Company believes the claim
is without merit and plans to defend the case accordingly.
On
September 2, 2008, a complaint was filed against the Company and certain of its
subsidiaries in the Circuit Court of the 15th Circuit
in and for Palm Beach County, Florida by Xxxxxxx Xxxx, under an alleged breach
of contract arising from the Company’s termination of Xx. Xxxx’ Employment
Agreement with the Company. In connection with such claim, Xx. Xxxx has
also threatened to file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission and the Florida Department of Labor. The Company believes
the claim is without merit and plans to defend the claim
accordingly.
On
October 20, 2008, the Corporation learned that Xx. Xxxx filed a complaint
against the Corporation with the the Broward County Florida Office of
Equal Opportunity Civil Rights Division alleging discrimination as a result of
mental disability. This complaint was transferred to the United States
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The complaint filed alleges
discrimination under the American with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Florida
Civil Rights Act. The Corporation believes that such complaint is without
merit. On January 30, 2009, the EEOC dismissed and issued a Notice
of Right to Xxx concerning this complaint.
On
January 12, 2009, the Corporation learned that Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxxx, Inc. filed a
complaint against the Company and its subsidiaries in the United States District
Court for the Western District of Tennessee, Western Division, under an alleged
breach of contract arising from the Company’s previous relationship with
Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxxx, Inc.
It is the Company’s position that such relationship was in fact
terminated by the Company on account of Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx’x breach and bad faith
and thus the Company believes the claim is without merit and plans to defend the
claim accordingly. On February 20, 2009, the Corporation filed a motion to
dismiss the complaint.
