of Short-Term
Working Capital and Participation
Arrangements

Ladies
and Gentlemen:
We refer
to (a) that certain Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loan Agreement, dated as
of November 30, 2007 (as amended by that certain Eleventh Amendment to Revolving
Line of Credit and Term Loan Agreement, dated as of even date herewith (the
“Eleventh
Amendment”), and as may be further amended, restated or otherwise
modified and in effect from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), by
and among RBS Citizens, National Association (“RBS”), National
Investment Managers Inc. (the “Company”) and the
guarantors party thereto, and (b) that certain letter agreement, dated as of
April 12, 2010 (the “Working Capital Loan
Letter”), by and among Woodside Capital Partners IV, LLC (“Woodside IV”),
Woodside Capital Partners IV QP, LLC (“Woodside IV QP”),
Woodside Capital Partners V, LLC (“Woodside V”),
Woodside Capital Partners V QP, LLC (“Woodside V QP”, and
together with Woodside IV, Woodside IV QP and Woodside V, collectively, the
“Holders”),
Woodside Agency Services, LLC, as Collateral Agent, the Company and the
guarantors party thereto, pursuant to which the Holders made a short-term
working capital loan to the Company in the original principal amount of $500,000
(the “Working Capital
Loan”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall
have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Loan Agreement.
Exhibit
4.81
The
Company hereby requests, and RBS hereby agrees to fund, a Revolving Advance in
the amount of $507,333.33, which Revolving Advance shall accrue interest at the
Prime Rate plus six hundred (600) Basis Points pursuant to Section 2(a)(v) of
the Loan Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, RBS hereby agrees
that it shall fund the Revolving Advance pursuant to this letter agreement (this
“Agreement”)
irrespective of the Company’s ability to satisfy the conditions set forth in
Section 4 of the Loan Agreement; provided, however, that to the
extent that the funding of such Revolving Advance would cause the Aggregate
Revolving Advances to exceed the amount of the Maximum Revolving Credit (as in
effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Eleventh Amendment), then
that portion of such Revolving Advance exceeding the Maximum Revolving Credit
(as in effect immediate prior to the effectiveness of the Eleventh Amendment)
shall be funded at such time as the increase in the Maximum Revolving Credit
contemplated by the Eleventh Amendment has been fully-effectuated.
The
Company hereby directs RBS to make payment of the Revolving Advance described in
the foregoing paragraph for the benefit of the Holders, and RBS agrees to fund
such Revolving Advance, subject to the terms of the following paragraph, to the
Collateral Agent, for the pro
rata account of each Holder, in indefeasible repayment, in full in cash,
of the Company’s obligations to the Holders in respect of the Working Capital
Loan. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that as of the
date hereof, the outstanding principal amount of the Working Capital Loan,
together with all fees and accrued and unpaid interest, is
$507,333.33.
The
Holders hereby agree that contemporaneously with the funding of the Revolving
Advance described herein, they shall apply $500,000 of such Revolving Advance to
purchase a participation interest (the “Woodside Participation
Interest”) under and in respect of the Revolving Loan, pursuant to the
terms and conditions set forth in a Participation Agreement, dated as of even
date herewith, by and among the Collateral Agents, the Holders and
RBS. In light of the purchase of such participation interest, the
parties hereto agree that RBS shall only be required to remit to the Company,
for payment to the Holders, an amount equal to $7,333.33, which amount
represents the fees (including, without limitation, the Fee (as defined in the
Working Capital Loan Letter)) and accrued and unpaid interest owing in respect
of the Working Capital Loan. The remainder of the Revolving Advance
made pursuant to the terms hereof shall be applied by RBS towards the purchase
price of the Woodside Participation Interest.
This
Agreement shall become effective as of the date first written above upon the
receipt by each party hereto of a fully-executed copy of this
Agreement.
Any
notice pursuant to this Agreement to the Company or any Holder shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) if mailed by certified
or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, when received,
(b) if by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including, without
limitation, electronic mail), when electronic confirmation of receipt is
received, and (c) if by overnight courier, when receipted for, in each case when
addressed to them at their respective addresses set forth above (or such other
address as any of them may designate by written notice to the others, in
accordance herewith).
EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO
SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS IN AND OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF
MASSACHUSETTS OVER ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING EXISTING UNDER OR RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT, AND CONSENTS THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS WITH RESPECT TO ALL COURTS
IN AND OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED MAIL TO IT
AT ITS ADDRESS DETERMINED PURSUANT TO THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING
PARAGRAPH.
