ITEM 3.02. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

As previously reported, on July 31, 2005, the Registrant's predecessor, NELX, Inc., entered into a definitive purchase agreement with the owner of an insurance company holding licenses as a property and casualty insurer in each of West Virginia, Ohio and Indiana. Under the purchase agreement, The Celina Mutual Insurance Company (Celina) agreed to sell the stock of West Virginia Fire and Casualty Company (WVFCC) to the Registrant and the Registrant agreed to purchase the stock of WVFCC from Celina for a purchase price of approximately $3 million, subject to certain closing adjustments. The closing of the transaction was conditioned upon each of (i) satisfaction of a financing contingency, and
(ii) necessary approvals of the West Virginia Department of Insurance and the Insurance Departments of each of Ohio and Indiana. The financing contingency was satisfied by the receipt of commitments on September 30, 2005, as previously reported. The final necessary insurance regulatory approval was received on December 23, 2005. Financing for the Registrant's purchase of the stock of WVFCC and for operations was obtained by the issuance of unregistered equity securities as follows:

On December 30, 2005, in exchange for cash subscriptions totaling $350,000, the Registrant issued 350 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, together with 1,050,000 Warrants to acquire Common Stock of the Registrant. The Certificate of Designations of the Series A Preferred Stock is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3. The form of Warrant is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.5. The Warrants accompanying the Series A Preferred Stock have a term of seven years and an exercise price of $.001 per share of Common Stock.

On December 30, 2005, in exchange for cash subscriptions totaling $2,985,000, the Registrant issued 3980 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, together with 19,900,000 Warrants to acquire Common Stock of the Registrant. The Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.4 and, in addition to terms previously reported, includes a conversion privilege for the holder of Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock exercisable at a conversion price of $1.00 per share. The form of Warrant is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.5. The Warrants accompanying the Series B Preferred Stock have a term of five years and an exercise price of $.001 per share of Common Stock.

In addition, on December 30, 2005, outstanding indebtedness of the Registrant in the form of convertible notes totaling approximately $3,600,000 converted into 4800 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, together with 24,000,000 Warrants to acquire Common Stock of the Registrant. The amount of indebtedness converted and number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock and number of Warrants to acquire Common Stock issued upon conversion is expected to be adjusted to take into account the conversion of accrued interest of electing holders of the securities. The form of Warrant is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.5. The Warrants accompanying the Series B Preferred Stock acquired upon conversion of the Registrant's indebtedness have a term of five years and an exercise price of $.001 per share of Common Stock.

The issuance of the aforementioned securities is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), by reason of the provision of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, as transactions not involving any public offering, in reliance upon, among other things, the representations made by the investors, including representations regarding their status as accredited investors (as such term is defined under Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act), and their acquisition of the securities for investment and not with a current view to distribution thereof. The securities contain a legend to the effect that such securities are not registered under the Securities Act and may not be transferred except pursuant to a registration which has become effective under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from such registration. The issuance of the securities was not underwritten.


ITEM 5.03. AMENDMENTS TO REGISTRANT'S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS.

The Registrant merged with and into its wholly-owned subsidiary, Jacobs Financial Group, Inc. (JFG), a Delaware corporation, on or about December 29, 2005. JFG survived the merger as the Registrant.

The merger effected a change in the Registrant's name, a change in the state of incorporation of the Registrant from Kansas to Delaware, an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Registrant and an amendment to the Bylaws of the Registrant. The merger did not result in a stock split or consolidation. The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of JFG are attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively. Certificates of Designations for Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock adopted by the board of directors of JFG on December 22, 2005 are attached as Exhibits 99.3 and 99.4, respectively.

ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.

The Common Stock of the Registrant, Jacobs Financial Group, Inc., trades over the counter under the stock symbol "JFGI" (OTCBB).

On January 3, 2006, the Registrant issued a press release which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.6, which press release is incorporated herein by reference.

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

OF

JACOBS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

It is hereby certified:

FIRST: The name of the corporation is JACOBS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (the "Corporation").

SECOND: The registered office of the Corporation is to be located at 2711 Centerville Road, Suite 400, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, State of Delaware, 19808. The name of its registered agent at that address is Corporation Service Company.

THIRD: The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

FOURTH: (a) The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation shall be authorized to issue is 500,000,000, of which 490,000,000 shall be designated as Common Stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share, and 10,000,000 shall be designated as Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share.

(b) The board of directors may divide the Preferred Stock into any number of series, fix the designation and number of shares of each such series, and determine or change the designation, relative rights, preferences, and limitations of any series of Preferred Stock. The board of directors (within the limits and restrictions of any resolutions adopted by it originally fixing the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock) may increase or decrease the number of shares initially fixed for any series, but no such decrease shall reduce the number below the number of shares then outstanding and shares duly reserved for issuance.

FIFTH: The name and mailing address of the Incorporator are:

James H. Nix c/o Dechert LLP 30 Rockefeller Plaza New York, NY 10112

SIXTH: In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the board of directors is expressly authorized:

(i) to adopt, amend or repeal the By-Laws of the Corporation in such manner and subject to such limitations, if any, as shall be set forth in the By-Laws;


(ii) to allot and authorize the issuance of the authorized but unissued shares of the Corporation, including the declaration of dividends payable in shares of any class to stockholders of any class; and

(iii) to exercise all of the powers of the Corporation, insofar as the same may lawfully be vested by this certificate in the board of directors.

SEVENTH: No director shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a fiduciary duty as a director; provided, however, that to the extent required by the provisions of
Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any successor statute, or any other laws of the State of Delaware, this provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, or (v) for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when this Article Seventh becomes effective. If the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware hereafter is amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation, in addition to the limitation on personal liability provided herein, shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the amended General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Any repeal or modification of this Article Seventh by the stockholders of the Corporation shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director of the Corporation existing as of the time of such repeal or modification.

EIGHTH: (a) Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he, or a person for whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, shall be indemnified by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against all expense, liability and loss (including settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection with such service; provided, however, that the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding initiated by him only if such proceeding was authorized by the board of directors, either generally or in the specific instance. The right to indemnification shall include the advancement of expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition in accordance with procedures established from time to time by the board of directors; provided, however, that if the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware so requires, the director, officer or employee shall deliver to the Corporation an undertaking to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article Eighth or otherwise.


(b) The rights of indemnification provided in this Article Eighth shall be in addition to any rights to which any person may otherwise be entitled by law or under any By-Law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. Such rights shall continue as to any person who has ceased to be a director, officer or employee and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators, and shall be applied to proceedings commenced after the adoption hereof, whether arising from acts or omissions occurring before or after the adoption hereof.

(c) The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance to protect any persons against any liability or expense asserted against or incurred by such person in connection with any proceeding, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability or expense by law or under this Article Eighth or otherwise. The Corporation may create a trust fund, grant a security interest or use other means (including, without limitation, a letter of credit) to insure the payment of such sums as may become necessary to effect indemnification as provided herein.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 4th day of November, 2005.

At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after any such adjournment the Board of Directors shall fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting, or if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of such adjourned meeting shall be given as provided in Section 2.4 of these By-Laws, but such notice may be waived as provided in Section 4.1 hereof.

Section 2.6. Voting.

Section 2.7. Proxies. Every stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting or by consent without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy. Each proxy shall be in writing executed by the stockholder giving the proxy or by his duly authorized attorney. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of three (3) years from its date, unless a longer period is provided for in the proxy. Unless and until voted, every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the person who executed it, or his legal representatives or assigns except in those cases where an irrevocable proxy permitted by statute has been given.

Section 2.8. Consents. Whenever a vote of stockholders at a meeting thereof is required or permitted to be taken in connection with any corporate action by any provision of statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, the meeting, prior notice thereof and vote of stockholders may be dispensed with if the holders of shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would have been necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted shall consent in writing to the taking of such action. Where corporate action is taken in such matter by less than unanimous written consent, prompt written notice of the taking of such action shall be given to all stockholders.

2

Section 2.9. Stock Records. The Secretary or agent having charge of the stock transfer books shall make, at least ten (10) days before each meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of and the number and class and series, if any, of shares held by each. Such list, for a period of ten (10) days prior to such meeting, shall be kept at the principal place of business of the Corporation or at the office of the transfer agent or registrar of the Corporation and such other places as required by statute and shall be subject to inspection by any stockholder at any time during usual business hours. Such list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any stockholder at any time during the meeting.

ARTICLE III

DIRECTORS

Section 3.1. Number. The number of directors of the Corporation which shall constitute the entire Board of Directors shall initially be fixed by the Incorporator and thereafter from time to time by a vote of a majority of the entire Board and shall be not less than three nor more than fifteen.

Section 3.2. Election and Term of Directors. Directors of the Corporation shall be elected, and shall serve, in the manner and for the term set forth in this paragraph. The directors shall be divided into three classes, designated Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3. Each class shall consist as nearly as may be possible, of one-third of the total number of directors constituting the entire board; provided, however, that no class shall have less than one director, including vacancies. The term of the initial Class 1 directors shall terminate on the date of the 2007 annual meeting of stockholders; the term of the initial Class 2 directors shall terminate on the date of the 2008 annual meeting of stockholders; and the term of the initial Class 3 directors shall terminate on the date of the 2009 annual meeting of stockholders. At each annual meeting of stockholders beginning in 2007, successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term. A director may stand for re-election and may succeed himself. If the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes, so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any additional directors of any class elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in such class shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class, but in no case will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. A director shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in which his term expires and until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office.

Section 3.3. Resignation and Removal. Any director may resign at any time upon notice of resignation to the Corporation. Any director may be removed at any time by vote of the stockholders then entitled to vote for the election of directors at a special meeting called for that purpose, either with or without cause.

3

Section 3.4. Newly Created Directorship or Vacancies. Newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors or vacancies occurring in the Board of Directors for any reason whatsoever shall be filled by vote of the Board and, in each such case, the new director shall be assigned to a Class in accordance with Section 3.2. If the number of directors then in office is less than a quorum, such newly created directorships and vacancies may be filled by a vote of a majority of the directors then in office. Notwithstanding the term of the Class to which the new director is assigned, any director elected by the Board to fill a vacancy shall be elected until the next meeting of stockholders at which the election of directors is in the regular course of business, and until his successor has been elected and qualified, but if then reelected by the stockholders such director's term shall be coterminous with the remaining directors of the Class.

Section 3.5. Powers and Duties. Subject to the applicable provisions of law, these By-Laws or the Certificate of Incorporation, but in furtherance and not in limitation of any rights therein conferred, the Board of Directors shall have the control and management of the business and affairs of the Corporation and shall exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as may be exercised by the Corporation.

Section 3.6. Place of Meetings. All meetings of the Board of Directors may be held either within or without the State of Delaware.

Section 3.7. Annual Meetings. An annual meeting of each newly elected Board of Directors shall be held immediately following the annual meeting of stockholders, and no notice of such meeting to the newly elected directors shall be necessary in order to legally constitute the meeting, provided a quorum shall be present, or the newly elected directors may meet at such time and place as shall be fixed by the Chairman of the Board (or President) with the written consent of at least a majority of such directors.

Section 3.8. Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held upon such notice or without notice, and at such time and at such place as shall from time to time be determined by the Board.

Section 3.9. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Secretary or by a majority of the Board of Directors. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.

Section 3.10. Notice of Meetings. Notice of each special meeting of the Board (and of each regular meeting for which notice shall be required) shall be given by the President, Secretary or Assistant Secretary at least one day prior to such meeting and shall state the place, date and time of the meeting. Notice of each such meeting shall be given orally or shall be sent by mail, facsimile or electronic mail to each director at his residence or usual place of business. If mailed, the notice shall be given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid; provided that such mailing is at least seven days prior to such meeting. Notice of any adjourned meeting, including the place, date and time of the new meeting, shall be given to all directors

4

not present at the time of the adjournment, as well as to the other directors unless the place, date and time of the new meeting is announced at the adjourned meeting. Nothing herein contained shall preclude the directors from waiving notice as provided in Section 4.1 hereof.

Section 3.11. Quorum and Voting. At all meetings of the Board of Directors, a majority of the entire Board shall be necessary to, and shall constitute a quorum for, the transaction of business at any meeting of directors, unless otherwise provided by any applicable provision of law, by these By-Laws, or by the Certificate of Incorporation. The act of a majority of the directors present at the time of the vote, if a quorum is present at such time, shall be the act of the Board of Directors, unless otherwise provided by an applicable provision of law, by these By-Laws or by the Certificate of Incorporation. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors, the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, until a quorum shall be present.

Section 3.12. Compensation. The Board of Directors, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, and irrespective of any personal interest of any of its members, shall have authority to establish reasonable compensation of all directors for services to the Corporation as directors, officers or otherwise.

Section 3.13. Books and Records. The directors may keep the books of the Corporation, except such as are required by law to be kept within the state, outside of the State of Delaware, at such place or places as they may from time to time determine.

Section 3.14. Action without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board, or by a committee of the Board, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or the committee, as the case may be, consent in writing to the adoption of a resolution authorizing the action. Any such resolution and the written consents thereto by the members of the Board or committee shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board or committee.

Section 3.15. Telephone Participation. Any one or more members of the Board, or any committee of the Board, may participate in a meeting of the Board or committee by means of a conference telephone call or similar communications equipment allowing all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other at the same time. Participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at a meeting.

Section 3.16. Chairman of the Board. A Chairman of the Board may be appointed by the members of the Board, by majority vote, at any time and from time to time as necessary or appropriate to facilitate the administration of proceedings and activities of the Board and the exercise of its authorities as provided herein.

Section 3.17. Committees of the Board. The Board may designate one or more committees, each consisting of one or more directors. The Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any such committee. Such alternate members may replace any absent member or members at any meeting of such committee. Each committee (including the members thereof) shall serve at the pleasure of the Board and shall keep minutes of its meetings

5

and report the same to the Board. Except as otherwise provided by law, each such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution establishing it, shall have and may exercise all the authority of the Board with respect to all matters.

ARTICLE IV

WAIVER

Section 4.1. Waiver. Whenever a notice is required to be given by any provision of law, by these By-Laws, or by the Certificate of Incorporation, a waiver thereof in writing, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to such notice. In addition, any stockholder attending a meeting of stockholders in person or by proxy without protesting prior to the conclusion of the meeting the lack of notice thereof to him or her, and any director attending a meeting of the Board of Directors without protesting prior to the meeting or at its commencement such lack of notice, shall be conclusively deemed to have waived notice of such meeting.

JACOBS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

JACOBS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC., a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "Corporation"), DOES HEREBY CERTIFY THAT:

Pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of Directors (the "Board") by Article FOURTH of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") and pursuant to the provisions of ss.151 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Board adopted and approved the following resolution providing for the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the Series A Preferred Stock.

WHEREAS, the Certificate of Incorporation provides for two classes of capital stock, known as common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), and preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the "Preferred Stock");

WHEREAS, the Board is authorized by the Certificate of Incorporation to provide for the issuance of the shares of Preferred Stock in series, and by filing a certificate pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Delaware, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in such series and to fix the designations, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof; and

WHEREAS, the Corporation is acquiring or owns all of the outstanding stock of West Virginia Fire and Casualty Company, a licensed insurance company (the "Insurance Subsidiary") and intends to issue Preferred Stock to provide working capital and finance the Insurance Subsidiary's acquisition and operations.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board deems it advisable to, and hereby does, designate a Series A Preferred Stock and fixes and determines the preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions relating to the Series A Preferred Stock as follows:

1. Designation. The shares of such series of Preferred Stock shall be designated "SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK" (referred to herein as the "Series A Stock"). Each date on which shares of Series A Stock are issued shall hereinafter be referred to as the "ISSUE DATE" of such shares.

2. Authorized Number. The number of shares constituting the Series A Stock shall be 1,000,000.


3. Ranking. The Series A Stock shall rank, as to dividends and upon Liquidation (as defined in Section 5(a) hereof), senior and prior to the Common Stock, and pari passu with the Corporation's Series B Preferred Stock, as defined in the Certificate of Designations , Powers, Preferences and Rights of Series B Preferred Stock approved and adopted by the Board simultaneously herewith (the "SERIES B STOCK") and any other series of Preferred Stock subsequently established by the Board with equal ranking (together with the Series A Stock and Series B Stock, the "EQUAL RANKING PREFERRED"). All equity securities of the Corporation to which the Series A Stock ranks prior, with respect to dividends and upon Liquidation, including, without limitation, the Common Stock, are collectively referred to herein as "Junior Securities." The Corporation shall not create any class of stock ranking senior to the Series A Stock, without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Stock, voting separately as a class.

4. Dividends.

(a) Dividend Accrual and Payment. The holders of the Series A Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends ("DIVIDENDS") at the rate of 4% per annum (the "Dividend Rate") of the Series A Liquidation Preference (as defined in
Section 5(a)). Dividends shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 following the Issue Date, or, if any such date is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, then on the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday (each a "DIVIDEND PAYMENT DATE"), as declared by the Board and, if not paid on the Dividend Payment Date, shall accrue. Amounts available for payment of Dividends shall be allocated and paid with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred and any other Equal Ranking Preferred, first, among the shares of Equal Ranking Preferred pro rata in accordance with the amounts of dividends accruing with respect to such shares at the current Dividend Payment Date, and, then, any additional amounts available for distribution in accordance with the accrued, but unpaid, dividends at each prior Dividend Payment Date, in reverse chronological order, with respect to all shares of the Equal Ranking Preferred then outstanding in accordance with amounts accrued, but unpaid.

(b) Dividends on Fractional Shares. Each fractional share of Series A Stock outstanding shall be entitled to a ratably proportionate amount of all Dividends accruing with respect to each outstanding share of Series A Stock pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof, and all such Dividends with respect to such outstanding fractional shares shall be payable in the same manner and at such times as provided for in Section 4(a) hereof with respect to Dividends on each outstanding share of Series A Stock.

5. Liquidation.

(a) Liquidation Procedure. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a "LIQUIDATION"), the holders of the shares of Series A Stock shall be entitled, before any distribution or payment is made upon any Junior Securities, to be paid an amount equal to (i) $1,000 per share of Series A Stock, representing the issue price per share of the Series A Stock (as adjusted for any combinations, divisions or similar recapitalizations affecting the shares of Series A Stock) (the "SERIES A ISSUE PRICE"), plus (ii) all accrued and unpaid Dividends on the Series A Stock to such date (together with the Series A Issue Price, the "SERIES A LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE"). If upon Liquidation, the

2

assets to be distributed among the holders of Series A Stock and the holders of other Equal Ranking Preferred shall be insufficient to permit payment in full to the holders of Series A Stock of the Series A Liquidation Preference and to the holders of Equal Ranking Preferred of the liquidation preferences with respect thereto, then the entire assets of the Corporation shall be distributed ratably among such holders in proportion to the full respective liquidation preferences to which they are entitled.

(b) Remaining Assets. Upon Liquidation, after the holders of Series A Stock and holders of other Equal Ranking Preferred shall have been paid in full their respective liquidation preferences, the remaining assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed among the holders of the Junior Securities then outstanding in accordance with their respective rights.

(c) Fractional Shares. The Series A Liquidation Preference with respect to each outstanding fractional share of Series A Stock shall be equal to a ratably proportionate amount of the Series A Liquidation Preference with respect to each outstanding share of Series A Stock.

(d) Mergers, Reorganizations, Etc. The holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Stock, may elect to deem the merger, reorganization or consolidation of the Corporation into or with another corporation or other similar transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Corporation is disposed of in exchange for property, rights or securities distributed to holders thereof by the acquiring person, firm or other entity, or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or of the Insurance Subsidiary by the Corporation (the foregoing being referred to collectively as a "Deemed Liquidation") as a Liquidation for purposes of this Section 5.

6. Redemption.

(a) Conditional Redemption. At any time from and after the seventh anniversary of the Issue Date, if the holder of Series A Stock provides a written statement to the Corporation that it will no longer require surety bonds issued by the Insurance Subsidiary under its partially collateralized bonding programs and, if no such surety bonds are then outstanding, the Corporation, at the option of the holder, will redeem all or any portion of the Series A Stock of such holder at a price per share equal to the Series A Issue Price plus all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to the shares of Series A Stock of such holder to be redeemed (the "Redemption Price") in accordance with the procedures and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 6(b). The conditional redemption provided herein shall not be available to any holder of Series A Stock for so long as surety bonds of the Insurance Subsidiary issued on a partially collateralized basis remain outstanding for the benefit of such holder; and, upon redemption, such holder shall no longer be eligible to participate in the partially collateralized bonding programs of the Insurance Subsidiary.

3

(b) Redemption Procedure.

(i) Upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section
6(a), the relevant holder of Series A Stock may give written notice to the Corporation (the "REDEMPTION NOTICE") of satisfaction of the conditions of redemption and of the number of shares of Series A Stock to be tendered for redemption. Upon receipt of the Redemption Notice, the Corporation shall notify the holder of a date within sixty (60) days following its receipt of such notice that it will effect the redemption (the "REDEMPTION DATE").

(ii) On or prior to the Redemption Date, the Corporation shall deposit the Redemption Price with a bank or trust corporation that is an FDIC insured institution as a trust fund for the benefit of the holder(s) of the shares of Series A Stock, with irrevocable instructions and authority to the bank or trust corporation to pay the allocable portion of the Redemption Price for such shares to their respective holders on or after the Redemption Date upon receipt of the certificate or certificates of the shares of Series A Stock to be redeemed. From and after the Redemption Date, unless there shall have been a default in payment of the Redemption Price, all rights of the holders of shares of Series A Stock as holders of Series A Stock (except the right to receive the Redemption Price upon surrender of their certificate or certificates) shall cease as to those shares of Series A Stock redeemed, and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred on the books of the Corporation or be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever.

(iii) Within ten (10) days prior to the Redemption Date, the Board shall make a good faith determination regarding (A) whether the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of shares of Series A Stock are sufficient to redeem the total number of shares of Series A Stock to be redeemed on such date and (B) whether the amounts otherwise legally available for redemption would, if used to effect the redemption, not result in an impairment of the operations of the Insurance Subsidiary. If the Board determines that there is a sufficiency of legally available funds to accomplish the redemption and that the use of such funds to effect the redemption will not result in an impairment of the operations of the Insurance Subsidiary, then the redemption shall occur on the Redemption Date. If, however, the Board determines either that there are not sufficient funds legally available to accomplish the redemption or that the use of such funds to effect the redemption will result in an impairment of the operations of the Insurance Subsidiary, then (X) the Corporation shall notify the holders of shares that would otherwise have been redeemed of such fact and the consequences as provided in this paragraph, (Y) the Corporation will use those funds which are legally available therefor and which would not result in an impairment of the operations of the Insurance Subsidiary to redeem the maximum possible number of shares of Series A Stock for which Redemption Notices have been received ratably among the holders of such shares to be redeemed based upon their holdings of such shares, and (Z) thereafter, until such shares are redeemed in full, the dividends accruing and payable on such shares of Series A Stock to be redeemed shall be increased by 2% of the Series A Issue Price, with the amount of such increase (i.e., 2% of the Series A Issue Price) to be satisfied by distributions on each Dividend Payment Date of shares of Common Stock having a value (determined by reference to the average closing price of such Common Stock over the preceding 20 trading days) equal to the amount of such increase. The shares of Series A Stock not redeemed shall remain outstanding and entitled to all the rights and preferences provided herein. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are

4

legally available for the redemption of shares of Series A Stock and such redemption will not result in an impairment of operations of the Insurance Subsidiary, such funds will immediately be used to redeem the balance of the shares of Series A Stock to be redeemed. No dividends or other distributions shall be declared or paid on, nor shall the Corporation redeem, purchase or acquire any shares of, the Common Stock or any other class or series of Junior Securities or Equal Ranking Preferred of the Corporation unless the Redemption Price per share of all shares for which Redemption Notices have been given shall have been paid in full, provided that the redemption price of any Equal Ranking Preferred subject of redemption shall be paid on a pari passu basis with the Redemption Price of the Series A Stock subject of redemption in accordance herewith. Until the Redemption Price for each share of Series A Stock elected to be redeemed shall have been paid in full, such share of Series A Stock shall remain outstanding for all purposes and entitle the holder thereof to all the rights and privileges provided herein, and Dividends shall continue to accrue and, if unpaid prior to the date such shares are redeemed, shall be included as part of the Redemption Price.

7. Voting Rights.

(a) Except as required by law, the Series A Stock shall have no voting rights except the right to vote on the approval of certain matters set forth in
Section 7(b).

(b) So long as any shares of Series A Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series A Stock, (i) amend, alter or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation, combination, reclassification or otherwise, the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Corporation or any provisions thereof (including the adoption of a new provision thereof), (ii) create, authorize or issue any class, series or shares of Preferred Stock or any other class of capital stock ranking either as to payment of dividends or distribution of assets upon Liquidation prior to the Series A Stock. The vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series A Stock, voting separately as one class, shall be necessary to adopt any alteration, amendment or repeal of any provision of the Certificate of Designations setting forth a copy of this Resolution, in addition to any other vote of stockholders required by law.

8. Notices of Record Date. Upon (i) any taking by the Corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities (including the Series A Stock) for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution , or (ii) any Liquidation or Deemed Liquidation, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of Series A Stock at least twenty (20) days prior to the record date specified therein a notice specifying (A) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution and a description of such dividend or distribution, and (B) the date on which any such Liquidation or Deemed Liquidation is expected to become effective.

9. Headings of Subdivisions. The headings of the various subdivisions hereof are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.

10. No Reissuance of Series A Stock. No share or shares of Series A Stock acquired by the Corporation by reason of redemption, purchase or otherwise shall be reissued,

5

and all such shares of Series A Stock shall be canceled, retired and eliminated from the shares of Series A Stock which the Corporation shall be authorized to issue. Any such shares of Series A Stock acquired by the Corporation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock issuable in undesignated Series and may be redesignated and reissued in any series, including as Series A Stock.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Certificate this 22nd day of December, 2005.

The holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Stock may elect to deem the merger, reorganization or consolidation of the Corporation into or with another corporation or other similar transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Corporation is disposed of in exchange for property, rights or securities distributed to holders thereof by the acquiring person, firm or other entity, or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation (the foregoing being referred to collectively as a "DEEMED LIQUIDATION"), as a Liquidation for purposes of this Section 5.

6. Conversion. The rights of the holders of shares of the Series B Stock to convert such shares into shares of Common Stock of the Corporation (the "CONVERSION RIGHTS") upon written notice to the Corporation (the "CONVERSION NOTICE"), and the terms and conditions of such conversion, shall be as follows:

(a) Right to Convert.

(i) Each share of Series B Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the Original Issue Date and effective as the date of delivery of the Conversion Notice (the "EFFECTIVE DATE OF CONVERSION"), to the office of the Corporation or its transfer agent, into that number of the fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(b) below. In order to convert shares of the Series B Stock into shares of Common Stock, the holder thereof shall surrender the certificate or certificates for Series B Stock, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or its transfer agent, together with the Conversion Notice stating that it elects to convert the same and setting forth the name or names it wishes the certificate or certificates for Common Stock to be issued, and the number of shares of Series B Stock being converted.

(ii) The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable following the Effective Date of Conversion and the surrender of the certificate or certificates evidencing shares of Series B Stock for conversion at the office of the Corporation or its transfer agent, issue to each holder of such shares, or its nominee or nominees, a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of shares of Common Stock to which it shall be entitled and, in the event that only

3

a part of the shares evidenced by such certificate or certificates are converted, a certificate evidencing the number of shares of Series B Stock which are not converted. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the Effective Date of Conversion, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock at such date and shall, with respect to such shares, have only those rights of a holder of Common Stock of the Corporation.

(b) Conversion of the Series B Stock.

(i) Each share of Series B Stock shall be convertible in accordance with Section 6(b) into 1000 fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock.

(ii) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Series B Stock. All shares of Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of Series B Stock by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share, the Corporation shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Market Price on the date of conversion.

(iii) As used herein, "MARKET PRICE" for any day means, with respect to the shares of Common Stock, the volume weighted average price as reported by Bloomberg (or if such information is not available from Bloomberg, from another nationally recognized independent pricing source). If there is no publicly traded market for the shares of Common Stock, pricing information will be obtained directly from broker/dealers and active market makers such as banks and securities firms. In instances where there is no readily available pricing information, the Board shall determine in good faith the fair value of the Common Stock, which determination shall be set forth in a certificate by the Secretary of the Corporation.

(c) Conversion Price. The conversion price per Common Share for the Series B Stock shall initially be $1.00 (the "CONVERSION PRICE") and shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided herein.

(d) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Corporation shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares, or a dividend in Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (in which latter event the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of such securities shall be deemed to have been distributed) shall be paid in respect to the Common Stock of the Corporation, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or at the record date of such dividend shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision or immediately after the record date of such dividend, be proportionately reduced, and conversely, if outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Corporation shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall simultaneously with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased. Any adjustment

4

to the Conversion Price under this Section 6(d) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination referred to herein becomes effective.

(e) Reorganizations, Mergers, Consolidations or Reclassifications. In the event of any capital reorganization, any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value), or the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another Person (collectively referred to hereinafter as "REORGANIZATIONS"), the holders of the Series B Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive, and provision shall be made therefor in any agreement relating to a Reorganization, upon conversion of the Series B Stock the kind and number of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property (including cash) of the Corporation, or other corporation resulting from such consolidation or surviving such merger to which a holder of the number of shares of the Common Stock of the Corporation which the Series B Stock entitled the holder thereof to convert to immediately prior to such Reorganization would have been entitled to receive with respect to such Reorganization; and in any such case appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions herein set forth with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Series B Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth herein (including the specified changes and other adjustments to the Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares, other securities or property thereafter receivable upon conversion of the Series B Stock. The provisions of this Section 6(e) shall similarly apply to successive Reorganizations.

(f) Sale of Additional Shares.

(i) If at any time or from time to time the Corporation shall issue or sell Additional Shares of Common Stock (as hereinafter defined), or is deemed by the express provisions of this subsection (f) to issue or sell Additional Shares of Common Stock, other than as a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock as provided in Section 6(d) above, for a consideration per share less than the then existing Conversion Price, then the existing Conversion Price shall be reduced, as of the opening of business on the date of such issuance or sale, to a price determined by dividing (A) an amount equal to the sum of (1) the applicable Conversion Price immediately prior to such issuance or sale multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding at the close of business on the day before the date of such issuance or sale, plus (2) the aggregate consideration, if any, received or to be received by the Corporation upon such issuance or sale, by (B) an amount equal to the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale, plus (2) the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock into which the then outstanding shares of Series B Stock could be converted if fully converted on the day immediately preceding the given date.

(ii) For the purpose of making any adjustment in the Conversion Price or number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Stock, as provided above, the following provisions shall be applicable:

(1) In case of the issuance of Common Stock for consideration in whole or in part for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor, plus the value

5

of any property other than cash received by the Corporation as determined in accordance with clause (2) below.

(2) In case of the issuance of Common Stock for consideration in whole or in part in property or consideration other than cash, the value of such property or consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board.

(3) In case of the issuance of (x) options, warrants, or other rights to acquire or to purchase or to subscribe for Common Stock (whether or not at the time exercisable), (y) securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or (z) options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities (whether or not at the time so convertible or exchangeable): (1) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of such options, warrants, or other rights to acquire or to purchase, or to subscribe for Common Stock (whether or not at the time exercisable) shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided in clauses (A) and (B) above), if any, received by the Corporation upon the issuance of such options, warrants or rights plus the purchase price provided in such options, warrants or rights for the shares of Common Stock covered thereby; (2) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of, or in exchange for, any such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of options to purchase, or to subscribe for, such convertible or exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options, warrants or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration received by the Corporation for any such securities and related options or rights, plus the additional consideration, if any, to be received by the Corporation upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related options, warrants or rights (determined in the manner provided in clauses (A) and (B) above); and (3) on the expiration of any warrant, right or option or on the termination of any right to convert or exchange any convertible or exchangeable securities, (whether or not at the time so convertible or exchangeable): the Conversion Price then in effect shall thereupon be readjusted to the Conversion Price as would have been in effect had the adjustment made upon the granting or issuance of such warrants, rights or options or convertible or exchangeable securities (whether or not at the time so convertible or exchangeable) been made upon the basis of the issuance or sale of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued upon the exercise of such options, warrants or rights or upon the conversion or exchange of such convertible or exchangeable securities. No readjustment pursuant to clause (3) above shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (x) the Conversion Price on the original adjustment date or (y) the Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date.

(g) Additional Shares of Common Stock. "ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK" shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued or issuable by the Corporation, whether or not subsequently reacquired or retired by the Corporation, OTHER THAN (i) shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the Series B Stock, (ii) shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any stock split, stock dividend or recapitalization of the

6

Corporation, (iii) shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (as defined below), (iv) shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options or other awards made or denominated in shares of Common Stock under the Corporation's 2005 Stock Incentive Plan or any of the Company's other stock plans including any stock option, stock purchase, restricted stock or similar plan hereafter adopted by the Board and approved by the stockholders of the Company, and (v) shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to an acquisition of a business (including, without limitation, by way of an acquisition of capital stock) or the assets of a business (which assets do not consist primarily of cash or cash equivalents) approved by the Board. "Warrants" shall mean the warrants to be issued to holders of Series A Stock and Series B Stock as part of the financing associated with the acquisition of the Insurance Subsidiary.

(h) Certificate of Adjustment. In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price or the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion of the Series B Stock, the Corporation, at its expense, shall cause the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with this Certificate of Designations and prepare a certificate showing such adjustment or readjustment, and shall mail such certificate, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each registered holder of the Series B Stock at the holder's address as shown on the Corporation's stock transfer books. The certificate shall set forth such adjustment or readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (i) the consideration received or to be received by the Corporation for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold,
(ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect for the Series B Stock, and
(iii) the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock and the type and amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Series B Stock.

(i) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Series B Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect a conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series B Stock, and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series B Stock, the Corporation shall promptly seek such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

(j) No Impairment. The Corporation shall not amend its Certificate of Incorporation or participate in any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, for the purpose of avoiding or seeking to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but shall at all times in good faith use its best efforts, and assist in carrying out all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of the Series B Stock against dilution or other impairment.

(k) Minimum Adjustment. No adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made if the amount of any such adjustment would be an amount less than one percent (1%) of the

7

Conversion Price then in effect, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment in respect thereof shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate an increase or decrease of one percent (1%) or more.

(l) Certain Adjustments. The Conversion Price shall not be adjusted upward except in the event of a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock or in the event of a readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 6(f)(ii)(3).

7. Redemption.

(a) Conditional Redemption. To the extent that shares of Series B Stock have not been redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to Section 7(b) or converted to Common Stock pursuant to Section 6, commencing with the fifth anniversary of the Original Issue Date, each holder of Series B Stock shall have the right to cause the Corporation to redeem any or all of such holder's then outstanding Series B Stock at a price per share equal to the Series B Face Amount plus an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends on the share of Series B Stock to be so redeemed (the "REDEMPTION PRICE"). This right of redemption shall be exercised in accordance with and shall be subject to the provisions of Section 7(c).

(b) Optional Redemption. At any time after the first anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Corporation may redeem all or any portion of the Series B Stock at the Redemption Price, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 7(c).

(c) Redemption Procedure.

(i) In the case of a redemption pursuant to Section 7(a), the holder of Series B Stock to be redeemed shall give the Corporation at least 60 days' prior written notice of redemption, and in the case of a redemption pursuant to Section 7(b), the Corporation shall give the holder(s) at least 20 days' (or such shorter period as any holder of Series B Stock may accept) written notice of redemption (either such notice, the "Redemption Notice"). The Redemption Notice shall be given by facsimile or first class mail, postage prepaid, in the case of redemption pursuant to Section 7(a), to the Corporation at the address of its principal office, attn: President, or in the case of redemption pursuant to Section 7(b), to the holder(s) of record on the record date fixed for such redemption of Series B Stock at such holder's facsimile number or address as it appears on the stock books of the Corporation; provided, that, no failure to give such notice nor any deficiency therein shall affect the validity of the procedure for the redemption of any shares of Series B Stock to be redeemed except as to the holder or holders to whom the Corporation has failed to give said notice or to whom such notice was defective. Either in, or upon receipt of the Redemption Notice, the Corporation shall notify the holder of a date within 30 days following the date of the Redemption Notice that it shall effect the redemption (the "REDEMPTION DATE"). At any time prior to the Redemption Date, the holder of Series B Stock may give a Conversion Notice whereupon the redemption of the Series B stock shall be suspended and the rights of the holder shall be determined in accordance with Section 6.

8

(ii) On or prior to the Redemption Date, the Corporation shall deposit the Redemption Price with a bank or trust corporation that is an FDIC insured institution as a trust fund for the benefit of the holders of the shares of Series B Stock, with irrevocable instructions and authority to the bank or trust corporation to pay the allocable portion of the Redemption Price for such shares to their respective holders on or after the Redemption Date upon receipt of the certificate or certificates of the shares of Series B Stock to be redeemed. From and after the Redemption Date, unless there shall have been a default in payment of the Redemption Price, all rights of the holders of shares of Series B Stock as holders of Series B Stock (except the right to receive the Redemption Price upon surrender of their certificate or certificates) shall cease as to those shares of Series B Stock redeemed, and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred on the books of the Corporation or be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever.

(iii) Within ten (10) days prior to the Redemption Date, the Board shall make a good faith determination regarding (A) whether the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of shares of Series B Stock are sufficient to redeem the total number of shares of Series B Stock to be redeemed on such date and (B) whether the amounts otherwise legally available for redemption would, if used to effect the redemption, not result in an impairment of the operations of the Insurance Subsidiary. If the Board determines that there is a sufficiency of legally available funds to accomplish the redemption and that the use of such funds to effect the redemption will not result in an impairment of the operations of the Insurance Subsidiary, then the redemption shall occur on the Redemption Date. If, however, the Board determines either that there are not sufficient funds legally available to accomplish the redemption or that the use of such funds to effect the redemption will result in an impairment of the operations of the Insurance Subsidiary, then (X) the Corporation shall notify the holders of shares that would otherwise have been redeemed of such fact and the consequences as provided in this paragraph, (Y) the Corporation will use those funds which are legally available therefor and which would not result in an impairment of the operations of the Insurance Subsidiary to redeem the maximum possible number of shares of Series B Stock for which Redemption Notices have been received ratably among the holders of such shares to be redeemed based upon their holdings of such shares, and (Z) thereafter, until such shares are redeemed in full, the dividends accruing and payable on such shares of Series B Stock to be redeemed shall be increased by 2% of the Series B Face Amount, with the amount of such increase (i.e., 2% of the Series B Face Amount) to be satisfied by distributions on each Dividend Payment Date of shares of Common Stock having a value (determined by reference to the average closing price of such Common Stock over the preceding 20 trading days) equal to the amount of such increase. The shares of Series B Stock not redeemed shall remain outstanding and entitled to all the rights and preferences provided herein. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are legally available for the redemption of shares of Series B Stock and such redemption will not result in an impairment of operations of the Insurance Subsidiary, such funds will immediately be used to redeem the balance of the shares of Series B Stock to be redeemed. No dividends or other distributions shall be declared or paid on, nor shall the Corporation redeem, purchase or acquire any shares of, the Common Stock or any other class or series of Junior Securities or Equal Ranking Preferred of the Corporation unless the Redemption Price per share of all shares for which Redemption Notices have been given shall have been paid in full, provided that the redemption price of any Equal Ranking Preferred subject of redemption shall be paid on a pari passu basis with the Redemption Price of the Series B Stock subject of redemption in accordance herewith. Until the Redemption Price for each share of Series B Stock elected to be redeemed shall have been paid in full, such

9

share of Series B Stock shall remain outstanding for all purposes and entitle the holder thereof to all the rights and privileges provided herein, and Dividends shall continue to accrue and, if unpaid prior to the date such shares are redeemed, shall be included as part of the Redemption Price.

8. Voting Rights.

(a) Except as required by law, the Series B Stock shall have no voting rights except the right to vote on the approval of certain matters set forth in
Section 8(b).

(b) So long as any shares of Series B Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Stock, (i) amend, alter or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation, combination, reclassification or otherwise, the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Corporation or any provisions thereof (including the adoption of a new provision thereof), (ii) create, authorize or issue any class, series or shares of Preferred Stock or any other class of capital stock ranking either as to payment of dividends or distribution of assets upon Liquidation prior to or on a parity with the Series B Stock. The vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series B Stock, voting separately as one class, shall be necessary to adopt any alteration, amendment or repeal of any provision of the Certificate of Designations setting forth a copy of this Resolution, in addition to any other vote of stockholders required by law.

9. Notices of Record Date. Upon (i) any taking by the Corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities (including the Series B Stock) for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution , or (ii) any Liquidation or Deemed Liquidation, or any action or transaction of the type or types requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Price or the number or character of the shares of Series B Stock as set forth herein or the exchange or conversion of the Common Stock into other property, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of Series B Stock at least twenty (20) days prior to the record date specified therein a notice specifying (A) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution and a description of such dividend or distribution, (B) the date on which any such Liquidation, Deemed Liquidation or other action or transaction is expected to become effective, and (C) the date, if any, that is to be fixed as to when the holders of record of Common Stock (or other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or other securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such transaction or other action. Such notice shall also set forth such facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect of such action (to the extent such effect may be known at the date of such notice) on the Conversion Price and the number, kind, or class of shares or other securities or property which shall be deliverable upon the occurrence of such action or transaction or that would be deliverable upon the conversion of Series B Stock.

10. Headings of Subdivisions. The headings of the various subdivisions hereof are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.

10

11. No Reissuance of Series B Stock. No share or shares of Series B Stock acquired by the Corporation by reason of redemption, purchase, conversion or otherwise shall be reissued, and all such shares of Series B Stock shall be canceled, retired and eliminated from the shares of Series B Stock which the Corporation shall be authorized to issue. Any such shares of Series B Stock acquired by the Corporation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock issuable in undesignated Series and may be redesignated and reissued in any series other than as Series B Stock.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Certificate this 22nd day of December, 2005.

Exhibit 99.5

Form of Jacobs Financial Group, Inc. Warrant


WARRANT

TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

OF

JACOBS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.


THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE STATUTES.
SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR
OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING TO SUCH DISPOSITION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS THEREUNDER OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT THE SECURITIES MAY BE SO DISPOSED OF WITHOUT BEING REGISTERED.

This is to Certify that, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, _____________________________, or assigns ("Holder"), is the owner of ________________ (______) Warrants, each of which entitles it to purchase, subject to the provisions of this Warrant, from JACOBS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), one fully paid, validly issued, and non-assessable share of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share ("Common Stock"), during the Exercise Period (as defined below) at an exercise price one-tenth of one cent ($0.001) per share.

This Warrant is being issued as part of the financing of the Company for the purpose of acquiring the outstanding stock of West Virginia Fire and Casualty Company (the "Insurance Subsidiary") and to provide operating capital for the Company and the Insurance Subsidiary.

This Warrant may be exercised at any time or from time to time during the period (the "Exercise Period"): (i) from the date of issuance hereof and
(ii) until 5:00 p.m. Charleston, West Virginia time on the [fifth/seventh] anniversary of such date of issuance (the "Termination Date"). The number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon the exercise of this Warrant and the price to be paid for each share of Common Stock underlying this Warrant may be adjusted from time to time as hereinafter set forth. The shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant, and as adjusted from time to time, are hereinafter sometimes referred to as "Warrant Shares" and the exercise price of each warrant to acquire a share of Common Stock in effect at any time and as adjusted from time to time is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Exercise Price."

(a) EXERCISE OF WARRANT. This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period; provided, however, that if such day is a day on which banking institutions in the State of West Virginia are authorized by law to


close, then on the next succeeding day which shall not be such a day. This Warrant may be exercised by presentation and surrender hereof to the Company at its principal office, or, at the Company's option, at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the Purchase Form annexed hereto duly executed and accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in such form; provided that the Holder, at its option, may exercise this Warrant on a "net" or "cashless" basis, in which case the Company shall offset the payment of the Exercise Price by a reduction in the number of Warrant Shares to be delivered to the Holder upon exercise. As soon as practicable after each such exercise of the Warrants, but not later than fifteen (15) days from the date of such exercise, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee. If this Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder thereof to purchase the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant at its office, or by the stock transfer agent of the Company at its office, in proper form for exercise, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be physically delivered to the Holder.

(b) AUTHORIZATION; RESERVATION OF SHARES. The issuance of this Warrant has been duly authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company, and, when issued in accordance herewith, the Warrant Shares shall be fully paid and non-assessable. The Company shall at all times reserve for issuance and/or delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be required for issuance and delivery upon exercise of the Warrants.

(c) FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a share called for upon any exercise hereof, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the current market value of a share, determined as follows:

(1) If the Common Stock is listed on a National Securities Exchange or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such exchange or listed for trading on the NASDAQ system, the current market value shall be the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on such exchange or system on the last business day prior to the date of exercise of this Warrant or if no such sale is made on such day, the average closing bid and asked prices for such day on such exchange or system; or

(2) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges, the current market value shall be the mean of the last reported bid and lowest asked prices reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. on the last business day prior to the date of the exercise of this Warrant; or

(3) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges and bid and asked prices are not so reported, the current market value shall be an amount, not less than book value thereof as at the end of the most recent

2

fiscal year of the Company ending prior to the date of the exercise of the Warrant, determined in such reasonable manner as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors of the Company.

(d) EXCHANGE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR LOSS OF WARRANT. This Warrant is exchangeable and transferable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company or, at the Company's option, at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, for other Warrants of different denominations entitling the holder thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. Upon compliance with this paragraph and surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal office or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the Assignment Form annexed hereto duly executed and funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in such instrument of assignment and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants which carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the principal office of the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued and signed by the Holder hereof. The term "Warrant" as used herein includes any Warrants into which this Warrant may be divided or exchanged. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date. Any such new Warrant executed and delivered shall constitute an additional contractual obligation on the part of the Company, whether or not this Warrant so lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated shall be at any time enforceable by anyone. This Warrant may not be assigned or transferred except as provided herein and in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations promulgated thereunder (such Securities Act and such Rules and Regulations being hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Act"). This Warrant shall be transferable only upon receipt by the Company, if requested to the Company, of an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, which may be counsel to the Company, that (i) the transferee is a person to whom this Warrant may be legally transferred without registration under the Act, and (ii) such transfer will not violate any applicable law or governmental rule or regulation, including, without limitation, any applicable federal or state securities law.

(e) RIGHTS OF THE HOLDER. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company, either at law or equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in the Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.

(f) ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS. The Exercise Price in effect at any time and the number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:

(1) In case the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make a distribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of

3

shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price of the Warrants in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Holder of this Warrant exercised after such date, shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares which, if this Warrant had been exercised by such Holder immediately prior to such date, the Holder would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive upon such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification.

(2) In case the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights or warrants to its stockholders entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the current market price of the Common Stock (as defined in Subsection (6) below) on the record date mentioned below, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such issuance by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date mentioned below and the number of additional shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered) would purchase at such current market price per share of the Common Stock or the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, whichever is higher, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date and the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible). Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such rights or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; and to the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered (or securities convertible into Common Stock are not delivered) after the expiration of such rights or warrants the Exercise Price shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made upon the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) actually delivered. This paragraph shall not be applicable to any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any presently outstanding rights, warrants or other convertible securities or rights, warrants or other convertible securities the Company is currently obligated to issue as part of the financing accomplished prior to the acquisition of the Insurance Subsidiary; and, for avoidance of doubt, neither this paragraph nor any other provision of this Section (f) shall apply to or require an adjustment as the result of (A) the issuance or exercise of stock options or other awards made or denominated in shares of Common Stock under the Company's 2005 Stock Incentive Plan or any other stock plan of the Company hereafter adopted by the Board and approved by the stockholders of the Company or (B) the issuance of shares of

4

Common Stock pursuant to an acquisition of a business (including, without limitation, by way of an acquisition of capital stock) or the assets of a business (which assets do not consist primarily of cash or cash equivalents) approved by the Board.

(3) In case the Company shall hereafter distribute to the holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions and dividends or distributions referred to in Subsection (1) above) or subscription rights or warrants (excluding those referred to in Subsection (2) above), then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect thereafter shall be determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior thereto by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by the current market price per share of Common Stock (as defined in Subsection (6) below), less the fair market value (as determined by the Company's Board of Directors) of said assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or of such rights or warrants, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by such current market price per share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution.

(4) To the extent that an adjustment has been made for purposes of determining the Exercise Price of the Warrant upon issuance of any rights, options or warrants to purchase Common Stock, then the subsequent issuance of Common Stock upon actual exercise of the right, option or warrant shall be excluded from the adjustment provisions hereof.

(5) Whenever the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of each Warrant is adjusted pursuant to Subsections (1), (2) and (3) above, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall simultaneously be adjusted by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares initially issuable upon exercise of this Warrant by the Exercise Price in effect on the date hereof and dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price, as adjusted.

(6) For the purpose of any computation under Subsections (2) and
(3) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock at any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices for 20 consecutive business days before such date. The closing price for each day shall be the last sale price or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the last reported bid and asked prices, in either case on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is admitted to trading or listed, or if not listed or admitted to trading on such exchange, the average of the highest reported bid and lowest reported asked prices as reported by NASDAQ, or other similar organization if NASDAQ is no longer reporting such information, or if not so available, the fair market price as determined by the Board of Directors.

5

(7) No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least two-tenths of one cent ($.002) in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Subsection (7) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment required to be made hereunder. All calculations under this
Section (f) shall be made to the nearest one-tenth of one cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. Anything in this Section (f) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled, but shall not be required, to make such changes in the Exercise Price, in addition to those required by this Section (f), as it shall determine, in its sole discretion, to be advisable in order that any dividend or distribution in shares of Common Stock, or any subdivision, reclassification or combination of Common Stock, hereafter made by the Company shall not result in any federal income tax liability to the holders of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock (including the Warrants).

(8) In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Subsection (1) above, the Holder of this Warrant thereafter shall become entitled to receive any shares of the Company, other than Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock contained in Subsections (1) to (7), inclusive above.

(9) Irrespective of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, Warrant Certificates theretofore or thereafter issued upon exchange, transfer, assignment, loss of certificate or upon exercise in part may continue to express the same price and number and kind of shares as were stated in the Warrant Certificates when the same were originally issued.

(g) OFFICER'S CERTIFICATE. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as required by the provisions of the foregoing Section, the Company shall forthwith file in the custody of its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary at its principal office and with the stock transfer agent responsible for this Warrant, if any, an officer's certificate showing the adjusted Exercise Price determined as herein provided, setting forth in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment, including a statement of the number of additional shares of Common Stock, if any, and such other facts as shall be necessary to show the reason for and the manner of computing such adjustment. Each such officer's certificate shall be made available at all reasonable times for inspection by the Holder or any holder of a Warrant executed and delivered pursuant to Section (a) and the Company shall, forthwith after each such adjustment, mail a copy by certified mail of such certificate to the Holder or any such holder.

(h) NOTICES TO WARRANT HOLDERS. So long as this Warrant shall be outstanding, (i) if the Company shall pay any dividend or make any distribution upon the Common Stock or (ii) if the Company shall offer to all of the holders of its Common Stock or any series of its Preferred Stock for subscription or purchase by them any share of any class or

6

any other rights or (iii) if any capital reorganization of the Company, reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company to another corporation, or voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company shall be effected, then in any such case, the Company shall cause to be mailed by certified mail to the Holder, at least ten days prior the date specified in (A) or (B) below, as the case may be, a notice containing a brief description of the proposed action and stating the date on which (A) a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights, or (B) such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock or other securities shall receive cash or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

(i) RECLASSIFICATION, REORGANIZATION OR MERGER. In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or other similar change of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger in which merger the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) or in case of any sale, lease or conveyance to another corporation of all or substantially all of the business and assets of the Company, the Company shall, as a condition precedent to such transaction, cause effective provisions to be made so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter by exercising this Warrant at any time prior to the expiration of the Warrant, to purchase the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization or other change, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which might have been purchased upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, capital reorganization or other change, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance. Any such provision shall include provision for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Warrant. The foregoing provisions of this Section (i) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations or other changes of shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, leases or conveyances. In the event that in connection with any such reclassification, capital reorganization or other change, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, additional shares of Common Stock shall be issued in exchange, conversion, substitution or payment, in whole or in part, for a security of the Company other than Common Stock, any such issue shall be treated as an issue of Common Stock covered by the provisions of Subsection (1) of Section (f) hereof.

(j) WARRANT SHARES NOT REGISTERED; REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

(1) The Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to
Section 4(2) thereof. Nor have the Warrant Shares been registered under applicable state securities laws. Thus, Warrant Shares may not be sold or otherwise disposed of unless so registered or exempted from registration. When an exemption

7

under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act does become available, upon the request of the Holder, the Company will facilitate removal of any legend restricting the transfer of the Warrant Shares and pay the expenses of any necessary opinion of Company counsel associated therewith.

(2) If, during the Exercise Period, the Company proposes to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the sale of any of its securities, then at least forty-five (45) days prior to such filing, the Company shall give the Holder written notice thereof and if, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice, the Holder shall request inclusion of the shares underlying the Warrants in such registration statement, the Company shall use its best efforts to include such underlying shares in such registration statement. In any such event, the Company shall pay and bear all costs and expenses in connection with the registration of the underlying shares, except for the fees of the Company's counsel in connection therewith.

(k) AMENDMENT; WAIVER OF PROVISIONS. This Warrant may not be amended by or compliance with any provision hereof waived without the written consent of holders of the majority of the Warrants and/or Warrant Shares.

(l) CHOICE OF LAW; JURISDICTION. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of West Virginia without giving effect to its principles of conflicts of law. Any dispute concerning or arising from this Warrant shall be addressed exclusively by West Virginia State or federal courts located in Kanawha County. All claims of forum non convenes are hereby waived.

ACQUISITION OF WEST VIRGINIA FIRE AND CASUALTY COMPANY
ANNOUNCED BY JACOBS FINANCIAL GROUP

Charleston, West Virginia (January 3, 2006) -- Jacobs Financial Group, Inc. (OTCBB: JFGI) announced today that on December 30, 2005, it acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of West Virginia Fire and Casualty Company (WVFCC) from The Celina Mutual Insurance Company (Celina) of Celina, Ohio. The transaction had received final regulatory approval from the West Virginia Department of Insurance on December 23, 2005. WVFCC is a licensed property and casualty insurance company in West Virginia, Ohio and Indiana. In accordance with the application of Jacobs Financial Group (JFG) approved by the insurance regulatory authorities, WVFCC will pursue a business plan of operating as a surety to businesses requiring financial assurance as a condition of their operations, such as those involved in the coal and oil and gas industries. Initially, operations will be in West Virginia, with expansion into other states as necessary regulatory approvals are obtained.

Under the terms of purchase, at closing WVFCC held only licenses, securities and cash. Celina had withdrawn all outstanding insurance policies and assumed all liabilities arising thereunder. The final purchase price was $2,900,000, subject to post closing adjustments. Financing of JFG's acquisition of WVFCC was derived from the private placement by JFG of preferred stock and warrants to acquire its common stock. In addition, immediately prior to the acquisition, over $3,600,000 of outstanding debt of JFG elected to convert into such equity securities of JFG.

Following the closing, John M. Jacobs, the president of JFG, said, "This acquisition marks the culmination of literally years of planning to bring an insurance company under the JFG umbrella and also a new beginning for JFG. With the support of governmental agencies in West Virginia, the West Virginia Coal Association and other friends and financial supporters, we are now positioned to implement a business plan that will respond to the surety needs of the coal and other regulated industries, with bonding programs that are both cost effective and protective of the public interest. WVFCC will act as a surety, implementing programs that will rely on sound underwriting and an understanding of the coal and oil and gas industries. Through the use of managed collateral accounts of WVFCC's surety clients, we expect to be able to reduce the cost to our clients of their bonding programs and often to free-up business capital for growth. It will be our goal to provide the bonding capacity that has been missing from the marketplace as the result of the catastrophic events and consolidation in the insurance industry that have occurred in recent years."

JFG, the successor to NELX, Inc. by reincorporation merger, is a West Virginia based holding company engaged in each of the investment advisory business through its wholly owned subsidiary Jacobs & Company, the insurance strategies and agency business through its wholly owned subsidiary FS Investments, Inc. and its subsidiary Triangle Surety Agency and now the surety business through its wholly owned subsidiary West Virginia Fire and Casualty Company.
