          (b) If prior to payment in full of all obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, (i) Borrower and GIC do not at all times maintain an employment agreement with Steven M. Mariano in a form reasonably acceptable to Lender which includes non-solicitation and non-competition language; (ii) Borrower and GIC fail to provide a copy of same to Lender upon Lender’s request; or (iii) the cash and non-cash compensation, including bonuses and other benefits, set forth in such employment agreements are materially increased without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;

          (c) (i) Borrower or GIC makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or becomes insolvent, either because Borrower’s and/or GIC’s liabilities exceed its assets or Borrower or GIC is unable to pay debts as they become due; Borrower or GIC petitions for protection under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or debtor relief laws, or is the subject of such a petition or action and fails to have the petition or action dismissed within a reasonable period of time;

          (f) If anything happens that either materially impairs the value of the Collateral or causes Lender to reasonably believe that Lender will have difficulty collecting the Loan; provided however, no Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred under this paragraph 8(f) if any such impairment or difficulty is reasonably capable of being cured or

resolved. Borrower diligently pursues a cure or resolution of same, Lender’s position is not materially adversely affected during Borrower’s pursuit to cure or resolve, and same is in fact cured or resolved within 90 days after notice from Lender;

          (j) If Steven M. Mariano dies, is legally incapacitated, resigns or is removed as an executive officer of Borrower, and Mr. Mariano is not replaced within 180 days of such resignation or removal by individuals deemed capable and competent by a majority of the independent members of the board of directors.

     A default by Borrower in performing under the terms of any other “Loan Document” or the occurrence of any default, Default or Event of Default under any other Loan Document, in each case after any applicable notice, grace and/or cure periods, shall constitute a default and Event of Default under the terms of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents, and the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement shall constitute a default, Default and Event of Default under all other Loan Documents.

     9. REMEDIES UPON AND EFFECT OF DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and expiration of any applicable cure period, in addition to any remedy or right Lender has under any Loan Document, the Uniform Commercial Code, at law or in equity, Lender, at its discretion, may also enforce the following (and the following shall be applicable and in effect):

          (a) For a period of five (5) years after Borrower’s default and failure to cure, Borrower, Steven M. Mariano and any entity directly or indirectly owned or controlled by Steven M. Mariano (hereinafter collectively, “Borrower’s Affiliates”), shall not directly or indirectly solicit, write, process, or service insurance policies for any of Borrower’s or GIC’s customers and shall not directly or indirectly attempt to divert any of Borrower’s or GIC’s customers from continuing to do business with Borrower’s successor to the assets or operations of Borrower. Borrower and Borrower’s Affiliates agree that this prohibition is reasonable and necessary and that the credit extended to Borrower is ample consideration for this restriction. Borrower and Borrower’s Affiliates understand that Borrower and Borrower’s Affiliates are not prohibited from working for any other company or in any particular line of work, but that this covenant not to solicit or divert only restricts the Borrower and Borrower’s Affiliates from conducting business similar to Borrower’s or contacting in person, by telephone, by mail, or by any other means, those customers or potential customers that Borrower and/or Borrower’s Affiliates worked with while employed by Borrower or GIC or operating the business of the Borrower comprising part of the Collateral. For the purposes of this Agreement, “customer” shall mean retail customers as well as any other Insurance Entities who produce or process policies through Borrower or GIC or who obtain services through Borrower or GIC.

          (b) Borrower shall enforce, for the continued benefit of Lender, all non-solicitation agreements or non-compete agreements currently in force between Borrower and Steve M. Mariano.

     10. PROTECTION OF COLLATERAL. If Lender confirms that the income from operations of Borrower or GIC has materially declined (from conditions, circumstances or events other than adverse claims activity) when compared with the income from operations of Borrower or GIC from prior quarters or years and/or Lender confirms that GIC’s ratios mandated by the NAIC, Florida Department of Insurance or other regulatory body have materially declined when compared with the ratios from prior quarters or years and Lender reasonably believes that such decline indicates a material negative trend, Lender may require Borrower to enter into an agreement with a consultant approved by Lender pursuant to which management of Borrower and GIC agree to work with consultant to conduct specified corrective activities each month and/or enter into an agreement pursuant to which a consultant approved by Lender works with management of Borrower and GIC to analyze Borrower’s or GIC’s operations. Furthermore, in the event Steven M. Mariano dies, becomes disabled, abandons the business operations of Borrower or GIC or other materially adverse extenuating circumstance pertaining to Borrower or GIC occurs, Lender may require Borrower to retain a consultant approved by Lender to assist management in the operation of Borrower’s or GIC’s business until qualified replacement management can be retained or, subject to any necessary regulatory approvals, Borrower’s or GIC’s business can be sold to another person. Borrower acknowledges that if any such agreement is required, neither Lender nor Lender’s approved consultant guarantees the efficacy of such arrangement in preserving or increasing the value of Borrower’s or GIC’s assets. Furthermore, any rights exercised by Lender pursuant to this paragraph shall not be construed as a waiver by Lender of any other rights or remedies it may have pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or under applicable law or in equity. The cost of such consultant shall be paid by Borrower from Borrower’s revenues; provided, however, if Borrower’s revenues are insufficient to pay for such consultant, the cost shall initially be paid by Lender and reimbursed by Borrower upon demand.

     11. PREPAYMENT PREMIUM. Any promissory note(s) executed by Borrower which evidence the Loan shall provide for a prepayment premium equal to the Prepayment Percentage (as defined herein) of the principal loan balance Borrower prepays. The “Prepayment Percentage” shall be 10% during the first twelve (12) months following Loan origination, 8% during the second twelve (12) months following Loan origination (that is, months 13 through 24), and 6% during the third twelve (12) months following Loan origination (that is, months 25 through 36). This prepayment premium shall not apply after the thirty-sixth month following Loan origination.

     12. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS. All obligations and liabilities of Borrower under this Agreement and any other Loan Document to which PRM, PRS Group, GIGI, Patriot RS, PRMF and/or SunCoast are a party shall be the joint and several obligations of each entity which constitutes Borrower.

     13. FUTURE ADVANCES. Borrower and Lender acknowledge that the Loan is a single advance loan, and that neither Lender nor Borrower contemplates future advances under the Loan Documents.

     14. LEGAL INTEREST LIMITATIONS. It is the intent of Borrower and Lender to conform strictly to all applicable state and federal usury laws. All agreements between Borrower and Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of the Loan or otherwise, shall the amount contracted for, charged or received by Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money to be loaned under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise, or for the payment or performance of any covenant or obligation contained herein or in any other document evidencing, securing or pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced hereby which may be legally deemed to be for the use, forbearance or detention of money, exceed the maximum amount which Lender is legally entitled to contract for, charge or collect under applicable state or federal law. If from any circumstance whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof or of such other documents, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall be automatically reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstance Lender shall ever receive as interest or otherwise an amount in excess of the maximum that can be legally collected, then such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal indebtedness of the Loan and any other amounts due with respect to the Loan evidenced by the Loan Documents, but not to the payment of interest; and if such amount which would be excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Loan and all other non-interest indebtedness described above, then such additional amount shall be refunded to Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid by Borrower for the use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full so that the amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the maximum permitted by applicable law throughout the term thereof. The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control and supersede every other provision of all agreements between Borrower and Lender.

     15. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, this Agreement and all Loan Documents shall be construed and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware except to the extent that the perfection of the interests in any of the Collateral is governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware or except to the extent that the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware are required to govern any enforcement or foreclosure action with respect to any of the Collateral. At Lender’s option, jurisdiction and venue for any dispute arising under or in relation to this Agreement will lie only in any applicable state court in Delaware or a U.S. District Court having jurisdiction in Delaware. In the event that a lawsuit or administrative proceeding is brought with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the prevailing party shall be entitled to be reimbursed for, and/or have judgment entered with respect to, all of its costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses.

     16. INTERPRETATION. Provisions in the Loan Documents are intended to be cumulative. To the extent that any of the provisions of this Agreement conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement or those of any other Loan Document, the provision which provides Lender the most protection and grants Lender the greatest rights shall control. Likewise, if the provisions of any Loan Document conflict with those of any other Loan Document, the provision which provides Lender the most protection and grants Lender the greatest rights shall control.

     17. AMENDMENTS. This Agreement may not be modified, revised, altered, added to or extended in any manner, or superseded other than by an instrument in writing signed by all the parties hereto. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless agreed to in writing by all parties hereto. Any modification or waiver shall only be effective for the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Borrower agrees and acknowledges that Lender may also be required to obtain the approval of other persons before entering into an amendment or granting a waiver.

     18. FAILURE TO ENFORCE NOT A WAIVER. The failure by Lender to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be in any way construed as a waiver of any such provision nor prevent Lender thereafter from enforcing each and every other provision of this Agreement.

     19. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and shall be binding upon any party executing the same and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument which shall represent the agreement of the parties hereto. This Agreement shall become effective when all parties hereto have executed a counterpart hereof.

     20. INVALIDITY OR UNENFORCEABILITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall, at the option of Lender (i) be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provisions were omitted; or (ii) not be stricken, but be reformed to the extent required to be enforceable under and comply with applicable law and as reformed shall be fully enforceable.

     21. BINDING EFFECT; CONSTRUCTION OF PROVISIONS. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, administrators, personal and legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, Borrower may not assign its rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement (whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law) without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender. As used in this Agreement, words of masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall mean and include the correlative words of the other genders, and words importing the singular number shall mean and include the plural number, and vice versa.

No inference in favor of, or against, any party shall be drawn from the fact that such party has drafted all or any portion of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

     22. SURVIVAL. This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligation of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until the Loan is paid in full. The provisions of paragraph 9(a) hereof shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

     23. INTEGRATION. This Agreement (including all exhibits and addenda hereto) together with the other Loan Documents contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede and take precedence over any and all prior agreements, arrangements or understandings between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof. No oral understandings, oral statements, oral promises or oral inducements exist. No representations, warranties, covenants or conditions, express or implied, whether by statute or otherwise, other than as set forth herein, have been made by the parties hereto. By signing below, Borrower and Lender affirm that no oral agreement between them exists.

     24. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Borrower hereby expressly waives any right to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding to enforce or defend any rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, instrument or document delivered or which may in the future be delivered in connection herewith.

     25. WAIVER OF MARSHALING OF ASSETS. Borrower waives all rights to require any marshaling of Borrower’s assets.

     26. COMMERCIAL LOAN. Borrower and Lender agree that the credit extended hereunder represents a commercial loan and is not a consumer loan subject to the UCCC.

Underwriting Guidelines

INSURANCE COMPANY

Underwriting Guidelines

Applications

A fully completed, signed application is required for each, workers’ compensation risk. The ACORD Commercial Insurance Application along with the Worker’s Compensation Section or reasonable facsimiles are acceptable forms. All questions must be answered.

The application must include a full account of all operations, the classification code numbers and descriptions, the appropriate payrolls for each classification, and very importantly, the number of employees by individual class code. Underwriters should pursue such key information whenever missing or return incomplete applications to producers.

Prior carrier information of all previous insurers should be provided, including the names, policy numbers, effective dates, premiums and the experience modification factor. This information must be provided for a minimum of the last three years and preferably for the last five.

Loss History

A complete loss history must be secured for a minimum of the past three years (preferably five) plus the current year to date. Whenever possible, the history should be in the form of hard copy loss runs from the previous insurer(s).

The information provided must be valued within 90 days of the effective date being quoted and must minimally include the following data:

	•		Date of loss;
	•		Description of loss;
	•		Paid amounts;
	•		Reserve amounts.

Depending on premium size, hard copy loss runs from previous insurers are not always available. Therefore, underwriters may consider a tiered approach to obtaining this data as outlined below:

Estimated Annual Premium		Requirement
Less than $10,000 $10,000 to $25,000		Completed, signed application A written statement on company letterhead, signed by an owner or officer plus any available experience rating worksheet.
Greater than $25,000		Hard copy loss runs required from previous insurer, or a loss report from a previous PEO, plus any available experience rating worksheet.

Underwriters must determine the average loss ratio based on the minimum requirement of three years of loss history. Any risk with a loss ratio greater than 50% must be referred to underwriting management for approval. Additionally, an analysis of all loss producing conditions should be included in the documentation form. The information must include how these conditions have been mitigated to prevent similar losses from recurring.

For any risk that has one or more incurred losses equal to or greater than $25,000, a detailed description of the loss must be obtained. Such details should include: how the accident happened, the resulting injury, current work status and details regarding the remaining reserves.

Financial Reports

A financial report such as a Dun & Bradstreet, annual statement or similar synopsis, should be ordered for all accounts with a premium greater than $100,000 or for any risk which may require collateral. Additionally, financials should be obtained for all newly bound accounts as indicated in the matrix below.

		BEST’S HAZARD		BEST’S HAZARD		BEST’S HAZARD
PREMIUM SIZE		1 TO 3		4 TO 7		8 TO 10
Less than $10,000		Not required		Not Required		Underwriter’s Judgment
$10,000 to $25,000		Not Required		Underwriter’s Judgment		Underwriter’s Judgment
$25,000 to $100,000		Underwriter’s Judgment		Underwriter’s Judgment		Required For premiums over $50,000
Over $100,000		Required		Required		Required
All Referral Classes		Underwriter’s Judgment		Underwriter’s Judgment		Required
All Collateralized Risks		Required		Required		Required.

Refer to the section on financial analysis for complete details on how to interpret the information and for our guidelines on acceptability.

Qualifying Accounts

All business applicants must be for a corporation, association, partnership, Limited Liability Company, limited liability partnership, or other legal entity and be in good standing within their state. All underwriting guidelines must be applied to determine the account’s acceptability.

Referral Accounts

Submissions with the following characteristic(s) must be referred to Underwriting Management for approval prior to releasing a quote:

	•		Accounts with 24 hour operations
	•		An incurred loss ratio of 50% or higher
	•		NCCI hazard group III in combination with a Best hazard group of 8 or higher (unless listed as an exclusion)
	•		Height exposure above 2 stories
	•		More than 20% use of subcontractors
	•		An experience modification factor of less than .65 or greater than 1.50
	•		Any deductible greater than state mandated deductibles
	•		Risks with an occupational disease exposure other than specifically excluded classifications (those with a “D” or “E” tax load)
	•		Accounts requiring a review of financials

Non-Qualifying Accounts

We will not provide coverage to risks with exposures that are excluded by our reinsurance contract(s). Attached are the current reinsurance exclusions, which have been categorized as follows:

	•		Broad Exclusions- those descriptions that may span many class codes and therefore must be considered while evaluating each risk
	•		Specific Class Code Exclusions- identifiable class codes that are to be excluded. The list does not include State Special codes that may also need to be excluded. Underwriters are not required to identify those through use of the Scopes Manual.
	•		Specific Business Operation Exclusions — these exclusions apply based on the activities performed by a business and therefore will not always be identified by a class code. The related class codes are provided for those operations that are known to apply to excluded operations. They are not meant to be all-inclusive and do not include State Special codes.
	•		General Exclusions — these are program restrictions and catastrophic loss exclusions where no coverage is available.
