(“Aleritas”), Brooke Capital Corporation (“Brooke Capital”), Brooke Corporation (“Brooke Corp.”), Brooke Capital Advisors, Inc., Brookes Agency Services Company LLC (“BASC”) and Robert Orr (the “Defendants”) filed their Motion for Appointment of a Special Master and Opposition to Plaintiff’s Motion for Appointment of a Receiver pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 53; and

WHEREAS, the parties had notice and an opportunity to be heard at the hearing held on September 16, 2008 at 11:00 a.m. in Room 427 of this courthouse; and

WHEREAS, the parties have consented to the terms of the following Consent Order;

The Court hereby ORDERS as follows:

1. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 53 (a)(1)(A) and this Court’s inherent authority, the Court hereby appoints Albert A. Riederer as Special Master (the “Special Master”) to proceed with all reasonable diligence to carry out the duties specified herein. The Court finds that appointing the Special Master according to the agreed-upon terms specified herein protects against the potential for unreasonable expense and delay in connection with this action and is a fair and efficient course of action.

2. Over the past several years, the Defendants sponsored a number of securitizations (each a “Securitization”) pursuant to which it caused to be created special purpose, bankruptcy remote limited liability companies (each a “Securitization Company”) to which it sold various Loans described below in exchange for cash. The term “Securitization Documents” includes all documents, including, without limitation, all Credit Agreements, Indentures, Security Agreements, Pledge Agreements, Servicing Agreements, and all amendments thereto and restatements thereof, setting forth the terms of the Securitizations.

3. Brooke Capital, Brooke Corp. and Brooke Capital Advisors, Inc. are defined herein as the “Special Master Entities.” The “Special Master Estate”, for purposes of this Order, is defined to include (a) all monies, and all accounts into which monies have been or may hereafter be deposited or invested, of any of the Special Master Entities or their subsidiaries; (b) all contract rights of the Special Master Entities and their subsidiaries related in any way to (i) loans and related assets sold in any of the Securitizations (the “Securitized Loans”); (ii) loans and related assets of Aleritas or any of the Special Master Entities or their subsidiaries made to the

2

borrowers on the Securitized Loans, whether owned by Aleritas or a Special Master Entity, participated to other lenders, subject to any lien or security interest of any third party, or otherwise (the “Related Loans”); (iii) all franchise and other agreements with any of the borrowers (the “Borrower-Franchisees”) on any of the Securitized Loans or Related Loans; and (iv) all contracts with insurance companies under which any of the Borrower-Franchisees may have or may hereafter write policies of insurance for customers; (c) all written or electronic records maintained by or for the Special Master Entities or their subsidiaries relating to the foregoing (together with related software, licenses and systems); and (d) to the extent required to carry out the purposes of this Order, all other real and personal property of the Special Master Entities and their subsidiaries.

4. It is understood and agreed notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, that in the case of each of the bankruptcy remote companies created in connection with the Securitizations, including, without limitation, each Securitization Company and BASC, the Special Master must recognize the terms of the documentation for the Securitizations, which, among other things, provide that the assets of such companies are not to be available to the other creditors of the Special Master Entities. The exercise of duties, rights and remedies by the Noteholders and the Bank of New York Mellon as Indenture Trustee in respect of the Indenture for each Securitization Company and as Master Agent Trustee in respect of the various trust accounts established in connection with the Securitizations may not be interfered with by the Special Master Entities or the Special Master for the Special Master Entities.

5. No person holding or claiming any position of any sort with the Special Master Entities or their subsidiaries shall possess any authority to act by or on behalf of the Special Master Estate, except as authorized by the Special Master. All persons, including but

This Consent Order shall not modify, impair, or eliminate any rights granted to any party, or any agent or trustee for any such party, under the Securitization Documents, including, without limitation, any grant of a security interest.
