Re:
Loan Obligations of National Investment Managers Inc. (the “Borrower”), and obligations of the guarantors set forth on Schedule A attached hereto (the “Guarantors”) to RBS Citizens, National Association (the “Lender”)

Dear Mr. Ross:
 
Please be advised that our law firm is continuing to represent the Lender in connection with the outstanding loan obligations of the Borrower and Guarantors.Reference is hereby made to a certain Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loan Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2007, by and between the Borrower and Lender, as amended by (i) a certain Amendment No. 1 to Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loan Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2008, (ii) a certain Amendment No. 2 to Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loan Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2008, (iii) a certain Amendment No. 3 to Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loan Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2008, (iv) a certain Amendment No. 4 to Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated as of July 16, 2008, (v) a certain Amendment No. 5 to Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated as of October 1, 2008, (vi) a certain Amendment No. 6 to Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated as of November 26, 2008, (vii) a certain Amendment No. 7 to Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated as of March 30, 2009, (viii) a certain Amendment No. 8 to Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated as of June 30, 2009, and (ix) a certain Amendment No. 9 to Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated as of September 25, 2009 (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”).  The Loan Agreement and all other documents executed in connection therewith are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Loan Documents”.  The obligations evidenced by the Loan Documents are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Loans”.
 
 
 

 
 
Based upon the most recent financial information provided by Borrower to Lender for Borrower’s fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2009, the Borrower is not in compliance with certain financial covenants set forth in the Loan Agreement.  Specifically, Borrower is in default under the Loan Agreement for failure to comply with the following covenants (collectively, the “Covenant Defaults”):

 
(i)
the Minimum EBITDA covenant as set forth in Section 5(m) of the Loan Agreement;

 
(ii)
the Maximum Ratio of Total Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA covenant as set forth in Section 5(n) of the Loan Agreement; and

 
(iii)
the Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant as set forth in Section 5(o) of the Loan Agreement.

The purpose of this letter is to provide Borrower with written notice of the Covenant Defaults under the Loan Documents.  The Lender, by giving this notice to you, is not required to provide the Borrower any further notice of these or other defaults.

The Covenant Defaults may entitle the Lender to charge interest at the default rate of interest and to exercise the rights and remedies available under the Loan Documents and applicable law, after the expiration of any applicable grace period.  Borrower shall also be liable for all legal and other fees and expenses of the Lender incurred in connection with such default and the enforcement of the loan obligations of the Borrower to Lender including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees and costs.

The Lender is not hereby exercising any of its rights and remedies but expressly reserves its right to do so at any time.  Further, the Lender reserves the right to accept and apply payments with respect to the Loans at any time.  The Lender’s acceptance of such payments shall not constitute a cure or waiver of the Covenant Defaults or any other existing defaults.  This letter and the Lender’s reservation of rights contained herein are not be construed as a waiver of any rights and remedies of the Lender under the Loan Documents.


 
Very truly yours,
 
     
 
/s/ Brian F. Plunkett
