| III. | FINANCIAL COVENANTS |
All financial covenants shall be calculated for HII, Borrower and its subsidiaries (if any) on a consolidated basis using the 10-K and 10-Q Reports filed by HII with the SEC.
So long as any portion of the Loan Amount under the Note remains unpaid and in the case of an open-end revolving borrowing arrangement, the Loan Amount remains available for advances, Borrower covenants and agrees as follows (unless otherwise indicated, all accounting terms used in the following financial covenants shall be construed in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. as in effect from time to time):
| A. | Minimum Working Capital |
Borrower shall maintain minimum working capital equal to 1.50 to 1.00 times the outstanding balance on the Note whenever there are amounts drawn on the Note. For purposes of measuring this covenant, working capital shall be defined as Borrower's current assets less cash held on behalf of others for third party insurance carriers, producers and discount benefit providers less current liabilities less any corresponding payables due to third party insurance carriers, producers, and discount benefit providers. The payables to insurance carriers, producers and discount benefit providers (“Third Party Creditors”) shall not exceed Borrower's corresponding cash held on behalf of Third Party Creditors. This covenant shall be measured quarterly.
| B. | Maximum Funded Debt to Tangible Net Worth |
Borrower maximum funded debt to tangible net worth ratio shall not exceed 1.50 to 1.00 during the term of the Note. This covenant shall be measured quarterly. “Tangible Net Worth” is defined as Borrower's equity less intangible assets and all amounts due from related entities (including without limitation, affiliates, subsidiaries, members, and officers). “Funded Debt” means (1) all obligations for money borrowed, (2) all obligations evidenced by a bond, indenture, note, letter of credit or similar instrument, (3) all obligations under capital leases, and (4) all other obligations upon which interest charges are customarily paid.
| IV. | UNUSED FEE |
| A. | There shall be due and payable to SunTrust an unused fee in the amount of 30 basis points per year (i.e., 7.5 basis points per quarter), on a quarterly basis, on sums not advanced on the Note. This fee shall be due and payable quarterly, in arrears, commencing with the quarter ending March 31, 2015. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this unused fee shall be waived by SunTrust for each quarter in which the average outstanding balance on the Note is $4,000,000.00 or more. |
| V. | CONDITION PRECEDENT TO THE MAKING OF EACH ADVANCE |
| A. | The making of each advance under the Note is subject to accuracy of representations and warranties and the further condition that no Event of Default or event which with the passing of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute an Event of Default shall exist at such time. |
| VI. | ADDITIONAL EVENTS OF DEFAULT |
| A. | Any guarantor terminates or cancels or seeks to terminate or cancel its Guaranty. |
| B. | Failure of Borrower to satisfy any condition set forth in, or deliver any document required by, Section 1.E. above on or before December 11, 2014. |

| VII. | CONFIDENTIALITY |
| A. | SunTrust agrees not to disclose or use any Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) provided to SunTrust except in connection with the indebtedness owed by Borrower as evidenced, inter alia, by that certain: (i) Commercial Note from Borrower and payable to Bank in the principal amount of $15,000,000.00; and (ii) Agreement to Commercial Note between SunTrust and Borrower (collectively, the “Transaction”). SunTrust agrees to take normal and commercially reasonable precautions to maintain the confidentiality and prevent the unauthorized use of the Confidential Information. Confidential Information may be disclosed to (i) SunTrust's legal counsel and other third party advisors (collectively, “Advisors”), (ii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iii) to the extent requested by any regulatory agency or authority, (iv) to enforce any remedy hereunder or under any of the documents executed and delivered by any Obligor to SunTrust (collectively, the “Loan Documents”) or in connection with any suit, action or proceeding relating to the this Agreement, any other Loan Documents or the Transaction or the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder, or (vi) with the written consent of the Borrower. Any individual or entity obligated to abide by the confidentiality and non-use provisions of this section shall be considered to have complied with such obligations to do so if such individual or entity has exercised normal and commercially reasonable precautions, but in no event less than those precautions that it uses to protect its own confidential and proprietary information of similar importance. In any event, SunTrust shall be responsible for any breach of this Section by it or any of its Advisors. |
If SunTrust is compelled or desires to disclose any of the Confidential Information pursuant to clause (ii), above (“Disclosure Action”), SunTrust will provide Borrower with prompt written notice (to the extent legally permitted) of each such Disclosure Action so that Borrower may (at its expense) seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive SunTrust’s compliance with the provisions of this section. In addition, if requested by Borrower, SunTrust shall assist Borrower at Borrower's expense in obtaining a protective order and taking other legally available steps to resist or narrow any Disclosure Action falling within clause (ii) above. In the event that a protective order or other remedy is not obtained promptly, SunTrust may furnish that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information which, in the opinion of the SunTrust’s counsel, SunTrust is legally required to disclose and will otherwise exercise reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded any such Confidential Information so disclosed.
For purposes of this Section, “Confidential Information” means all non-public, confidential or proprietary information of any Borrower and its respective affiliates, which is identified in writing as such, in any form; and shall include any notes, analyses, compilations, reports, forecasts, studies, samples, data, statistics, summaries, interpretations and other materials prepared by or for SunTrust that contain, are based on, or otherwise reflect or are derived, in whole or in part, from any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Confidential Information” shall not include any information that (x) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, (y) was within SunTrust’s or its Advisors’ possession on a non-confidential basis from a source other than an Obligor that is not known by SunTrust or its Advisors to be subject to any obligation of confidentiality to any Obligor, or (z) was developed independently by SunTrust or its Advisors without any reference to or use of the Confidential Information.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower and SunTrust have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date first above written.
