Notwithstanding the foregoing, if clause (ii) of the definition of the term "Secondary Market Net Sales Proceeds" shall be applicable, then such Secondary Market Net Sales Proceeds shall be applied to the Obligations as Lender shall determine, with any excess after such application to be held by Lender, at its option, as cash collateral for the Obligations.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, the per annum effective rate of interest on all outstanding principal under the Loan shall be equal to the applicable Interest Rate plus five hundred (500) basis points (the " Default Rate "). All such increases may be applied retroactively to the date of the occurrence of the Event of Default. Borrower agrees that the Default Rate is a reasonable estimate of Lender's damages and is not a penalty.All contractual rates of interest chargeable on outstanding principal under the Loan shall continue to accrue and be paid even after Default, an Event of Default, maturity, acceleration, judgment, bankruptcy, insolvency proceedings of any kind or the happening of any event or occurrence similar or dissimilar.In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest hereunder and charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such court determines Lender has charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, Lender shall apply, in its sole discretion, and set off such excess interest received by Lender against other Obligations due or to become due and such rate shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by such law. Fees and Charges .On the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay Lender a fully-earned, non-refundable facility fee (the " Facility Fee ") equal to the product of: (i) the initial Maximum Loan Amount; multiplied by (ii) one-quarter of one percent (0.25%).On the date that the Maximum Loan Amount Increase is exercised by Borrower, Borrower shall pay Lender, contemporaneously with the effectiveness of the Maximum Loan Amount Increase, a fully-earned, non-refundable facility increase fee equal to the product of: (i) the actual amount of the Maximum Loan Amount Increase; multiplied by (ii) one-quarter of one percent (0.25%).From and following the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay Lender a fee in an amount equal to (i)(A) the Maximum Loan Amount less (B) the average daily outstanding balance of Loans during the preceding month, multiplied by (ii) one quarter of one percent (1/4 of 1%) per annum.

Borrower agrees that any late fee payable to Lender is a reasonable estimate of Lender's damages and is not a penalty. Use of Proceeds . The proceeds of Advances shall be used solely to provide Borrower with short-term financing of an amount not to exceed 85% of the SBA 7(a) Guaranteed Note Receivable in respect of each Financed SBA Loan. Taxes . All payments of principal and interest on the Loan and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp, documentary, property or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, levies, assessments, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever (including interest and penalties thereon) imposed by any taxing authority, excluding taxes imposed on or measured by Lender's net income by the jurisdiction under which Lender is organized or conducts business (other than solely as the result of entering into any of the Financing Documents or taking any action thereunder) (all non-excluded items being called " Taxes "). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable Law, then Borrower will: (i) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted; (ii) promptly forward to Lender an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to Lender evidencing such payment to such authority; and (iii) pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Lender will equal the full amount Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required. If any Taxes are directly asserted against Lender with respect to any payment received by Lender or such Lender hereunder, Lender may pay such Taxes and Borrower will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalty, interest or expense) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Lender after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount Lender would have received had such Taxes not been asserted. Capital Adequacy . If any present or future law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, directive or similar requirement (whether or not having the force of law) imposes, modifies, or deems applicable any capital adequacy, capital maintenance or similar requirement which affects the manner in which Lender allocates capital resources to its commitments (including any commitments hereunder), and as a result thereof, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, the rate of return on Lender's capital with regard to the Loan is reduced to a level below that which Lender would have achieved but for such circumstances, then in such case and upon notice from Lender to Borrower, from time to time, Borrower shall pay Lender such additional amount or amounts as shall compensate Lender for such reduction in Lender's rate of return. A notice to Borrower from Lender as to the amount of that reduction and showing the basis of the computation thereof submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be presumptive evidence of the matters set forth therein. Increase of Maximum Loan Amount . Provided that: (i) there is no Default or Event of Default that shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) Borrower's audited Financial Statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.8 hereof with respect to Fiscal Year 2010 show that Borrower has a minimum EBITDA of $7,000,000, calculated in a manner consistent with Section 6.7(a), as of December 31, 2010, and (iii) the Newtek Small Business Loan Trust Note Offering shall have been consummated substantially on the terms and conditions previously furnished to Lender and the proceeds of which shall have been used by Borrower (A) to prepay the Term Loans (as such term is defined in the Term Loan Agreement) in accordance with 2.5(b)(ii) of the Term Loan Agreement or (B) otherwise as agreed to between Borrower and Lender, Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than ten (10) Business Days' notice to Lender, to increase the Maximum Loan Amount by an amount not to exceed $6,000,000 (the " Maximum Loan Amount Increase ").

the right to take possession of, send notices regarding and collect directly the Collateral, with or without judicial process (including without limitation the right to notify the United States postal authorities to redirect mail addressed to Borrower to an address designated by Lender); orby its own means or with judicial assistance, enter Borrower's premises and take possession of the Collateral, or render it unusable, or dispose of the Collateral on such premises in compliance with subsection (e) below, without any liability for rent, storage, utilities or other sums, and Borrower shall not resist or interfere with such action; orrequire Borrower at Borrower's expense to assemble all or any part of the Collateral (other than real estate or fixtures) and make it available to Lender at any place designated by Lender; ortake additional reserves against the Borrowing Base; or

Borrower covenants and agrees not to interfere with or impose any obstacle to Lender's exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder. Lender shall have no obligation to clean up or prepare the Collateral for sale. If Lender sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrower will only be credited with payments actually made by the purchaser thereof, that are received by Lender. Lender may, in connection with any sale of the Collateral specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like.

Nature of Remedies .

Set-Off . If any bank account of Borrower with Lender or any participant is attached or otherwise liened or levied upon by any third party, Lender (and such participant) shall have and be deemed to have, without notice to Borrower, the immediate right of set-off and may apply the funds or amount thus set-off against any of Borrower's Obligations hereunder. Limitation on Remedies .Notwithstanding, anything else to the contrary contained herein, with respect to an Event of Default under Section 6.7 hereof, Lender agrees that it shall not be entitled to exercise its rights under Section 8.3(a) or 8.3(b), provided that, Lender is expressly permitted to take additional reserves against the Borrowing Base, or to impose the Default Rate on the Loan. The foregoing limitation shall not apply if there shall have occurred any other Event of Default hereunder in which case Lender's right of action shall not be impaired. Furthermore during such Event of Default nothing shall be deemed to limit Lender's right to pursue any action against any Guarantor.Notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.3(a) and (b), any exercise of the rights and remedies of Lender solely as it relates to the Loan and Borrower under Section 8.3(a) and (b) may be subject to the provisions of the Multi-Party Agreement.

WHEREAS , Lender requires as a condition to the making of the Loan that Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty for the benefit of Lender; and WHEREAS, Guarantor believes that the financing arrangements between Borrower and Lender will further the business and interests of Guarantor; NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce Lender to make the Loan to Borrower, Guarantor hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Lender as follows:

Authorization and Enforceability of Loan Documents . Guarantor has taken all steps required to authorize and has in its capacity as shareholder of the Borrower authorized the execution and delivery of the Note and Loan and Security Agreement. To the best of its knowledge the Note and Loan and Security Agreement have been duly authorized and executed by Borrower and are legal, valid and binding instruments, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other legal or equitable principles now or hereafter in effect generally affecting creditors' rights and remedies. Obligations Guaranteed . Guarantor unconditionally guarantees to Lender (i) the prompt and unconditional payment of all of the Obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement, including without limit the Loan and the interest thereon, whether now or hereafter advanced, as the same shall become due and payable under the Note and the Loan and Security Agreement, as well as under any whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and any and all sums of money which, at the time, may have become or become due and payable under the provisions of the Loan and Security Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the due and prompt performance of all of the terms, agreements, covenants and conditions of the Note, the Loan and Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (ii) payment in full of any and all expenses that may be paid or incurred by Lender in the collection of all or any portion of Guarantors' obligations hereunder or the exercise or enforcement of any one or more of the other rights, powers, privileges, remedies and interests of the Lender under the Loan Documents or hereunder, irrespective of the manner or success of any such collection, exercise or enforcement, and whether or not such expenses constitute part of the Borrower' obligations; and (iii) performance of all Borrower's (and all of the other entities guaranteeing the Loan) covenants and obligations contained herein and/or therein. Guarantor's obligation to cause Borrower and the other guarantors to take any action with respect to their respective covenants and obligations shall be limited to those actions consistent with its status as the sole stockholder (or as a member or majority stockholder as applicable) of such parties and shall be exercised through the power consequent upon such status. Unconditional Guaranty . This Guaranty is an absolute, unconditional, present and continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection and is in no way conditioned or contingent upon any attempt to enforce Lender's rights against Borrower or to collect from the Borrower or upon any other condition or contingency; accordingly, Lender shall have the right to proceed against Guarantor immediately upon any Event of Default under the Loan Documents without taking any prior action or proceeding to enforce the Loan Documents or to liquidate or foreclose on any security Lender may at any time hold pursuant thereto. Guarantor hereby waives and releases any claim (within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. 101) which Guarantor may have against Borrower arising from a payment made by Guarantor under this Guaranty and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any subrogation rights of Guarantor or any other right of Guarantor to proceed against Borrower for reimbursement. It is expressly understood that the waivers and agreements of Guarantor constitute additional and cumulative benefits given to Lender for its security and as an inducement for its extension of credit to Borrower. Liability Unimpaired . Guarantor's liability hereunder shall in no way be limited or impaired by, and Guarantor hereby consents to and agrees to be bound by, any amendment, extension or modification of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents or any other instrument made to or with Lender by Borrower or any other guarantor, or any Person who succeeds Borrower as owner of all or part of the Collateral prior to foreclosure of the Loan and Security Agreement or exercise of any power of sale contained therein. In addition, Guarantor's liability hereunder shall in no way be limited or impaired by (i) any extensions of time for performance required by any of said documents, (ii) any sale, assignment or foreclosure of the Note or Loan and Security Agreement or any sale or transfer of all or part of the property covered by the Loan and Security Agreement, (iii) any exculpatory provision in any of said instruments limiting Lender's recourse to the Collateral or to any other security, or limiting Lender's rights to a deficiency judgment against Borrower , (iv) the release of Borrower or any other person (including, without limit, any other guarantor) from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of said instruments by operation of law or otherwise, (v) the release or substitution in whole or in part of any security for the Loan, (vi) Lender's failure to record the Loan and Security Agreement or file any UCC financing statements (or Lender's improper recording or filing of any thereof) or to otherwise perfect, protect, secure or insure any security interest or lien given as security for the Loan, (vii) the invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any of the Loan Documents, this Guaranty or any other instrument or agreement executed or delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan, except to the extent that there is a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction of a valid defense to Borrower 's obligations under the Loan Documents to payment of the Indebtedness, (viii)  the inaccuracy of any of the representations and warranties made by Borrower in the Loan and Security Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any disbursement certificates or requests for disbursements made under the Loan Agreement, or (ix) any other action or circumstance whatsoever which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, a legal or equitable discharge or defense (except full payment and satisfaction) of Borrower for its obligations under any of the Loan Documents or of any Guarantor under this Guaranty (whether as surety, guarantor or otherwise); and, in any such case, whether with or without notice to Guarantor and with or without consideration. Preservation of Loan Documents . Guarantor will cause Borrower to maintain and preserve the enforceability of the Loan Documents as the same may be modified and will not permit Borrower to take or to fail to take actions of any kind, the taking of which or the failure to take which might be the basis for a claim that Guarantor has a defense to Guarantor's obligations hereunder. Security; Events of Default . Pursuant to the terms of Guarantor Security Agreement of even date herewith, as security for any and all of the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty, now existing or hereafter arising hereunder or otherwise (collectively, the "Liabilities"), Guarantor hereby grants to the Lender a lien upon and a security interest in any and all moneys or other property (i.e., goods and merchandise, as well as any and all documents relative thereto, funds, securities, chooses in action and any and all other forms of property whether real, personal or mixed, and any right, title or interest of Guarantor therein or thereto), and the proceeds thereof, which have been, or may hereafter be, deposited or delivered to the Lender (or with any third party acting on the Lender's behalf) by or for the account or credit of Guarantor whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, deposit, transmission, collection or otherwise and a lien upon and a security interest in all of its other assets pursuant to a security agreement of even date herewith.
